Acute kidney failure after total knee arthroplasty revision with antibiotic-impregnated cement spacer
Authors: Mazza Daniele , Calderaro Cosma , Iorio Raffaele , Drogo Piergiorgio , Andreozzi Valerio , Ferretti Andrea
Published: August 2020

Gentamicin-impregnated cement beads and spacers are frequently used in case of infective complications after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). A great number of studies in the literature demonstrated that the local administration of gentamicin produces high local antibiotic levels but low serum and urine gentamicin concentrations. Gentamicin-impregnated cement spacer can induce nephrotoxicity in patients presenting major renal impairment susceptibility. We report a case of acute renal failure using a gentamicin-impregnated block spacer. An 83-year-old woman underwent a gentamicinimpregnated bone–cement spacer implant because of an infected TKA removal. Three days later patient clinical status got worse reporting a decreased urine output and increasing C-reactive protein (CRP), Serum Creatinine (SCr) and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN). Because the symptoms could be related to the knee spacer lead us to the decision of gentamicin-impregnated cement spacer removal. The day following the removal procedure showed progressive improvement of general condition with evidence of SCr and BUN normalization. Gentamicin-impregnated cement spacer can induce nephrotoxicity in patients presenting major renal impairment susceptibility.

Recent developments in endovascular radiological techniques and devices have rendered embolization a major therapeutic option prior to surgery in many renal vascular or neoplastic diseases. A 19-yearold female patient, with a diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in childhood, was admitted with severe anemia. Polycystic kidney disease in end-stage renal failure appeared four years before and the patient has been undergoing peritoneal dialysis. The patient’s medical history also included bilateral renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs). One year earlier, a unilateral endovascular embolization was performed to repair a bleeding aneurysm at the right renal upper pole. A second bilateral ruptured renal aneurysm was diagnosed at admission. To continue with peritoneal dialysis and prevent intrarenal hemorrhage and intraperitonal bleeding, an urgent bilateral renal AE was performed. Two months later she underwent a bilateral retroperitoneal nephrectomy. The posterior surgical approach, preserved the peritoneal surface area and adequate conditions to continue dialysis. At histology, bilateral AMLs were confirmed and a renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney was concurrently discovered. She undergoes continuous peritoneal dialysis. Urgent selective renal AE represents a feasible treatment for bilateral AML bleeding. It is safe and feasible before performing nephrectomy in patients with end-stage renal failure.
The workload of obstetric doctors working in different modes at a medical center
Authors: Su I-Min , Ding Dah-Ching
Published: August 2020

Objective:

The workload of obstetric and gynecologic (OB-GYN) physicians has been an unprecedented increase because of the decrease in the number of such physicians. This study aimed to demonstrate that the hospitalist mode was the best mode for the work-life balance of OB-GYN physicians.

Materials and Methods:

This was a retrospective study in a tertiary academic hospital. Patients were admitted to the labor ward for delivery. The number of deliveries performed by each OB-GYN physician in different working modes was measured. We reviewed the medical charts of women admitted for delivery as well as the shift schedule of OB-GYN physicians from January 1, 2018, to June 30, 2018. We classified deliveries into three modes: the traditional mode (patient designation), on-call mode, and the hospitalist mode. Traditional mode was the work mode currently. On-call mode and the hospitalist mode were simulated conditions. The number of deliveries and the total OB-GYN physician worked time for their shift were recorded. The differences between the three modes and between OB-GYN physicians were assessed using analysis of variance.

Results:

In total, 237 deliveries were recorded over 6 months (3 deliveries were excluded from our data); these deliveries were performed by four OB-GYN physicians named A to D. Significant differences in workload were noted between OB-GYN physicians working in the traditional mode and those in the on-call mode, but no significant differences were noted among those working in the hospitalist mode. All OB-GYN physicians worked an average of seven shifts, and no significant differences among them were noted.

Conclusion:

The hospitalist mode might be the optimal mode for OB-GYN physicians to achieve a favorable work-life balance if their original main jobs are obstetric practice.

Le chou, Brassica oleracea L. (Capparales: Brassicaceae), est l’une des cultures les plus attaquées par un complexe de ravageurs dont Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidea). L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer l’efficacité des huiles végétales et de la noix de cajou pour le contrôle de P. xylostella dans la production de chou. Une étude a été menée dans le laboratoire de l’institut International d’Agriculture Tropicale au Bénin. Les traitements comprenaient des huiles de trois plantes, à savoir Tephrosia purpurea, Ricinus communis, Thevetia neriifolia et la noix de cajou par rapport à un insecticide synthétique (Lambda cyhalothrine) et à celui d’un pesticide botanique (Topbio). Deux expériences ont été mises en place dans cette étude. Dans la première expérience, les produits ont été testés sur le stade L3 de P. xylostella, avec les doses de 100, 75, 50, 25 et 10% ; tandis que dans le second, les mêmes produits ont été testés sur le stade L2 du même insecte avec les doses de 50, 25, 10, 5, 3, 2 et 1%, par rapport au témoin de référence, Lambda cyhalothrine aux doses de 10, 5, 3, 2, 1 et 0,5%. Les variables mesurées étaient le taux de mortalité, la formation de pupes et l’émergence d’adultes de P. xylostella. Les DL 50 ont été déterminées selon la méthode de régression de Cox. Les résultats ont montré que pour tous les pesticides botaniques utilisés, quel que soit le stade larvaire de P. xylostella, l’effet / dose-réponse était significatif, mais moins efficaces par rapport au témoin de référence Lambda cyhalothrine. La noix de cajou et les trois huiles végétales peuvent efficacement servir d’alternatives aux pesticides de synthèse (Lambda cyalothrine) contre Plutella xylostella dans la production de chou.

Published: August 2020

Germplasm is a valuable source of genetic diversity that supports crop improvement efforts in any breeding programme but it must first be fully characterised for economically valuable traits before it can be effectively utilised. In rice (Oryza sativa), the development of new varieties with improved aroma requires correct phenotyping and prior knowledge of the available genes and alleles governing the aroma trait in the gene pool. Correct phenotyping and genotyping can be achieved using sensory methods and functional markers associated with polymorphisms that define the aroma genes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the aroma status of rice accessions and to assess for the various alleles of badh2 gene using functional markers. A total of 56 rice accessions were evaluated at National Crops Resources Research Institute (NaCRRI) in Uganda for their aroma using sensory methods and a molecular marker to differentiate between aromatic and non- aromatic accessions. The aromatic accessions were then evaluated for variations within the betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase2 (badh2) gene responsible for aroma in rice using functional markers. Sensory evaluation of aroma identified 23 accessions to be aromatic; while 33 were non-aromatic. Molecular results identified 20 accessions as aromatic; while 36 accessions were non-aromatic. Functional marker analysis indicated the presence of badh2-E7 allele in 20 aromatic accessions within this collection that could be employed in the breeding programme for the rice aromatic trait.

Aspects of the biology of Ephestia cautella and Tribolium castaneum on fermented stored cocoa beans
Authors: Oyewo E. A. , Amo B. O.
Published: August 2020

Ephestia cautella (Walker) (Lepidotera: Pyralidae) and Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) are pests associated with dried fermented stored cocoa beans that cause extensive damage. The biology of these pests on cocoa beans in Ghana has not been well documented, especially on T. castaneum. Due to climate changes and improved/hybrid seedlings being released to farmers, it has become necessary to re-evaluate the biology and damage of these pests on fermented stored cocoa beans. The experiments were conducted in the Insectary laboratory of the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana. Paired 0-1 day old E. cautella adults were placed in Petri dishes and covered with Kilner jars. The eggs laid daily by each female were carefully transferred onto 15 g cocoa beans in Petri dishes. The egg incubation period was four days, 31 days larval period and the pupal period of seven days. Unmated adult males lived for 12.1 days and females 7.9; mated males lived for 10.9 days and females 5.5. Paired T. castaneum were introduced on 2.0 g broken cocoa beans in Petri dishes. The average incubation period was nine days, 40 days larval period, and pupal period of five days.
Quantifying perceived landscape desirability in human settlements: the case of four communities in Cape Coast, Ghana
Authors: Yawson David Oscar
Published: August 2020

Through their natural, aesthetic and cultural attributes, landscapes serve a range of human needs. The perception and value placed on these attributes and services confer desirability on a given landscape. Landscape desirability refers to the extent of acceptability or preferability of the perceived state and functioning of a given landscape in relation to serving the landscape needs of its human inhabitants. This paper presents the idea of, and an approach for quantifying landscape desirability using four communities in Cape Coast, Ghana. A landscape desirability index was derived from four factors (attractivity, wellbeing, dignity, and eco-resilience) based on scores assigned by respondents to three sub-components of each of the four factors. The results show that all the communities scored their landscapes moderately on attractivity, wellbeing, dignity, and eco-resilience, as well as overall landscape desirability. Bare surfaces and contribution to flood and  erosion mitigation were a major consideration in respondents’ scores of the sub-components of the factors. Nature and beauty (sub-components of attractivity) and sub-components of eco-resilience contributed considerably to the low desirability indices for the communities. This suggests the need to focus on these components in efforts to enhance landscape desirability. The findings suggest a need for wider studies to capture residents’ perceptions of their landscapes as an input into participatory landscape planning, transformation and management in Ghana. The quantitative approach applied can easily be adapted and replicated across communities and spatial scales to provide a comparable basis for sustainable landscape transformation in human settlements.

Published: August 2020

Objective:Seawater has a potential for managing the intensive potable drinking water demand. The recentconventional desalinating technologies are environmentally unsustainable and energy intensive. Thus, in the quest to find an alternative to the traditional desalination technologies, microbial desalination cells (MDC) have come into limelight. MDCs are considered the promising technologies for treating wastewater while simultaneously producing electricity, which can be utilized for desalinating seawater along with production of some value added products. However, some technical limitations associated with the practical usage of MDCs are pH maintenance at the cathodic side, internal resistance along with membrane fouling and its durability.Methods:These challenges can be dealt by utilizing various integrated configurations.Results and Discussion:Based on the study, the conventional technologies require less operational and maintenance cost but also less environmentally sustainable in comparison to these integrated MDC configurations.Conclusion:This review summarizes the basic working principles of MDCs, its types and factors affecting its performance and also several other applications associated with MDCs. This review also highlights various integrated MDC configurations which can be utilized for reducing the limitations associated to the conventional MDC system.
Literatura teológica do Período Intertestamentário: os livros deuterocanônicos
Authors: De Jesus Moraes Nirio
Published: August 2020

Este artigo trata dos livros deuterocanônicos, que surgiram no Período Intertestamentário, ou seja, o intervalo transcorrido entre o último livro do Antigo Testamento, o do profeta Malaquias, e o primeiro livro do Novo Testamento, o Evangelho segundo Mateus. A Bíblia hebraica não os acolheu, apenas a Septuaginta e a Vulgata, razão pela qual a literatura cristã dos primeiros séculos faz numerosas referências a eles. Tais livros revelam detalhes históricos e aspectos teológicos importantes da época em que foram produzidos. Por conseguinte, os livros deuterocanônicos, objeto deste estudo, devem ser tomados em consideração quando se intenta reconstituir a história de Israel nos séculos que antecederam o nascimento de Jesus. Palavras-chave: Período Intertestamentário. Livros deuterocanônicos. Septuaginta. Vulgata.

Promulgation of Law Number 5 of 1960, brought its own consequences in terms of regulation of agrarian resources, including earth, water, space and natural resources contained therein. The ideals of the law in the realization of the objectives of the national agrarian law are realized in the form of the Agrarian Reform policy which is one of the ideals in the administration of President Joko Widodo. This policy was stated in the Decree of the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia Number IX / MPR / 2001 concerning Agrarian Reform and Natural Resource Management and followed up with the issuance of Presidential Regulation Number 86 of 2018 concerning Agrarian Reform. The Presidential Regulation regulates the determination of assets in the legalization of agrarian reform land object certificates. However, the problem is that it is feared that disputes and agrarian conflicts will arise in the right of recognition of the existence of communal rights for indigenous and tribal peoples explicitly mentioned in Ministerial Regulation ATR / Ka.BPN Number 10 of 2016, which seems to be no longer recognized by indigenous peoples in Indonesia. This paper is a legal research that uses the method of the statutory approach and conceptual approach that examines the recognition and use of customary land by using the norms contained in legislation. The results of this paper are directed to be able to provide clarity of legalization of customary community land as well as communal rights of indigenous and tribal peoples related to the issuance of Presidential Regulation Number 86 of 2018 which does not expressly state the position of indigenous peoples as the subject of policy arrangement on Agrarian Reform assets, so that the rights owned by marga indigenous and tribal peoples can be fought for.

Tracking the Economic Impact of COVID-19 and Mitigation Policies in Europe and the United States
Authors: Chen Sophia , Igan Deniz , Pierri Nicola , Presbitero Andrea
Published: August 2020

We use high-frequency indicators to analyze the economic impact of COVID-19 in Europe and the United States during the early phase of the pandemic. We document that European countries and U.S. states that experienced larger outbreaks also suffered larger economic losses. We also find that the heterogeneous impact of COVID-19 is mostly captured by observed changes in people’s mobility, while, so far, there is no robust evidence supporting additional impact from the adoption of non-pharmaceutical interventions. The deterioration of economic conditions preceded the introduction of these policies and a gradual recovery also started before formal reopening, highlighting the importance of voluntary social distancing, communication, and trust-building measures.
Anticipating land-use impacts of self-driving vehicles in the Austin, Texas, region
Authors: Wellik Tyler , Kockelman Kara
Published: August 2020

This paper used an implementation of the land-use model SILO in Austin, Texas, over a 27-year period with an aim to understand the impacts of the full adoption of self-driving vehicles on the region’s residential land use. SILO was integrated with MATSim for the Austin region. Land-use and travel results were generated for a business-as-usual case (BAU) of 0% self-driving or “autonomous” vehicles (AVs) over the model timeframe versus a scenario in which households’ value of travel time savings (VTTS) was reduced by 50% to reflect the travel-burden reductions of no longer having to drive. A third scenario was also compared and examined against BAU to understand the impacts of rising vehicle occupancy (VO) and/or higher roadway capacities due to dynamic ride-sharing (DRS) options in shared AV (SAV) fleets. Results suggested an 8.1% increase in average work-trip times when VTTS fell by 50% and VO remained unaffected (the 100% AV scenario) and a 33.3% increase in the number of households with “extreme work-trips” (over 1 hour, each way) in the final model year (versus BAU of 0% AVs). When VO was raised to 2.0 and VTTS fell instead by 25% (the “Hi-DRS” SAV scenario), average work-trip times increased by 3.5% and the number of households with “extreme work-trips” increased by 16.4% in the final model year (versus BAU of 0% AVs). The model also predicted 5.3% fewer households and 19.1% more available, developable land in the city of Austin in the 100% AV scenario in the final model year relative to the BAU scenario’s final year, with 5.6% more households and 10.2% less developable land outside the city. In addition, the model results predicted 5.6% fewer households and 62.9% more available developable land in the city of Austin in the Hi-DRS SAV scenario in the final model year relative to the BAU scenario’s final year, with 6.2% more households and 9.9% less developable land outside the city.

Published: August 2020

RESUMO: A expansão e consolidação das redes sociais como serviço prestado a vários bilhões de usuários em todas as partes do planeta, vêm suscitando discussões em torno do regime jurídico de tais serviços e da responsabilidade jurídica de suas provedoras. No Brasil principiam grandes discussões sobre o tema, principalmente em razão de natureza “quase pública” e da possibilidade da submissão de tais serviços prestados ao regime protetivo do Código de Defesa do Consumidor. O grande obstáculo para a submissão de tais empresas ao regime consumerista é a falta de remuneração direta dos serviços prestados. Todavia, conforme sustentado no presente trabalho, existe remuneração indireta, de forma que é absolutamente necessário que se reconheça a relação jurídica estabelecida como relação de consumo, principalmente com vistas à consolidação de uma verdadeira cidadania digital.

Authors: Ximenes Eduarda , Biondi Daniela , Batista Antonio Carlos
Published: August 2020

A percepção ambiental é uma ferramenta de estudo utilizada para compreender as relações entre a sociedade e a floresta no meio urbano. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a percepção ambiental da comunidade local acerca da arborização de ruas com Copernicia prunifera em Natal e Parnamirim, Rio Grande do Norte. Foram realizadas 345 entrevistas com perguntas abertas em quatro bairros de Natal (Petrópolis, Lagoa Nova, Neópolis e Capim Macio) e um de Parnamirim (Distrito Litoral de Pium e Cotovelo). As perguntas abordaram o caráter socioeconômico e a opinião das pessoas quanto à floresta urbana, incluindo o interesse acerca da arborização de ruas com C. prunifera. Verificou-se que os respondentes apreciam o plantio de C. prunifera na área urbana e compreendem que os indivíduos arbóreos estão vinculados à maximização do fornecimento dos serviços ecossistêmicos. Assim, a integração da comunidade local com a floresta urbana apresenta-se como uma alternativa viável para a fortalecer a gestão dos espaços públicos e atuar na conservação destes indivíduos.

Lithium and Brine Geochemistry in the Salars of the Southern Puna, Andean Plateau of Argentina
Authors: López Steinmetz Romina Lucrecia , Salvi Stefano , Sarchi Carisa , Santamans Carla , López Steinmetz Lorena Cecilia
Published: August 2020

The Andean plateau is a small region of South America extending between northwest Argentina, southwest Bolivia, and northern Chile. It concentrates the largest global resources of lithium brines in its numerous salars. Of these, the giant salars in Bolivia and Chile have been relatively well studied; however, only little is known about the smaller but numerous salars in the Argentine Puna region. In this article, we present the results of the first regional-scale reconnaissance exploration of the 12 major salars situated in the southern part of the Puna plateau (24°S–26°30’S). Hydrochemical data indicate that the shallowest brines are characterized by highly variable Li concentrations, with mean Li grades ranging between 57 and 570 mg L−1, and mean Li/Mg ratios from 0.01 to 1.24. A survey of the brine chemistry of the salars across the Puna plateau, including its northern part, has revealed the absence of a geographical pattern in Li+ grade distribution. However, a comparison among mean Li+ grades, Li+/Mg2+ ratios, and the sizes of all salars allows an estimation of their Li mining potential. Specifically, the salt pan of Arizaro represents the highest potential, mainly due to its size; Antofalla-Botijuelas has a large surface and promising Li/Mg ratios for Li recovery via brine evaporation, though its elongated shape is a constraint; and Pastos Grandes, Pozuelos, and Rincón have encouraging Li grades, interesting salar sizes, and relatively easy access. Olaroz, Cauchari, and Hombre Muerto contain the highest Li+ grades in brines of the Argentine Puna and embody the most interesting perspectives of the Argentine plateau in a regional context. Salar sizes could be related to maximum Li+ grade of brines. Larger salars would then be expected to contain brines with higher Li+ grades than smaller ones, which could be considered as a useful criterion for surveys of brine-type deposits.

 Methodology: Purposive sampling was used to select three year 9 mentees, four year 9 mentors, four year 12 mentees and four year 12 mentors. No limitations were
placed on gender or ethnicity. Thirty-minute semi-structured interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed qualitatively, drawing on an interpretative phenomenological analysis approach. This study received ethical approval from the Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) Research Governance
and Ethics Committee.
 Results: Four main themes were identified: mentor – mentee relationship, mentor background and attitudes towards WAM, qualities and behaviours of mentors and differences between year 9 and year 12 mentors.
 Discussion and conclusions: The results
are discussed within the context of the existing literature. This research identifies the requirements for WAM mentors from both mentors and mentees' perspectives. This will inform future WAM schemes run at BSMS and may provide a basis for future research and improvement of WAM mentors nationwide.
Kinderrechte ins Grundgesetz?
Authors: Brosius-Gersdorf Frauke
Published: August 2020

Die Debatte über die Aufnahme von Kinderrechten in das Grundgesetz ist so alt wie das Grundgesetz selbst. Statt deklaratorischer Grundgesetzänderungen und damit symbolischer Vertextlichung dessen, was bereits geltendes Verfassungsrecht ist, bedarf es einer „echten“ Verfassungsänderung, die das grundgesetzliche Kräfteverhältnis zwischen Kind, Eltern und Staat verändert. Der verfassungsrechtliche status quo erscheint für einen Teil der Familien nicht mehr angemessen.
Der Einfluss Chinas auf die Wirtschaft – Konsequenzen für die europäische Wettbewerbs- und Außenhandelspolitik
Authors: Müller-Ibold Till
Published: August 2020

Die chinesische Wirtschaft ist im Verlauf der letzten Jahrzehnte stark gewachsen, der Außenhandel hat Rekordwerte erreicht. Zum Erfolg der chinesischen Wirtschaft haben dabei verschiedene Mechanismen der staatlichen Einflussnahme beigetragen, zu denen eine gewisse Abschottung (oder zumindest Selektivität) gegenüber Waren, Dienstleistungen und Investitionen aus dem Ausland gehören. Auch innerhalb Chinas übt der Staat erheblichen Einfluss auf die Wirtschaft über verschiedene Planungs- und Lenkungsmechanismen aus, die teilweise verbindlichen, überwiegend aber „freiwilligen“ Charakter haben, wobei Anreize und Strukturen so gestaltet werden, dass die Unternehmen den Verhaltensanforderungen auch freiwillig gerecht werden. Sowohl die Abschottungs- als auch die internen Lenkungsmechanismen behindern ausländische Wettbewerber und damit Unternehmen aus Deutschland und der EU. Im politischen Raume sind deshalb Forderungen erhoben worden, solche Auswirkungen zu bekämpfen. Gegenstand meines Beitrags ist die Frage, über welche Mechanismen aus dem Bereich des Antidumping- und Wettbewerbsrechts die Europäische Union verfügt, um die negativen Auswirkungen einer solchen Politik zu minimieren. Ich komme zu dem Ergebnis, dass die negativen Auswirkungen sich wirksam nur durch ein Gesamtkonzept kompensieren lassen, in dessen Rahmen eine Vielzahl von Handlungsfeldern Berücksichtigung finden muss. Das Antidumping- und das Wettbewerbsrecht ermöglichen solche Reaktionen in Teilbereichen, ohne dabei den eigentlichen Kern des Problems, das staatliche Lenkungsverhalten der chinesischen Regierung, adressieren zu können. Beide Rechtsgebiete können aber die Auswirkungen eines solchen Verhaltens in der EU begrenzen.
Herausforderung China – beihilfenrechtliche Implikationen und Ansatzpunkte für legislative Konsequenzen
Authors: Guilliard Simon
Published: August 2020

Die jüngst verabschiedete neue Industriestrategie der Europäischen Union (EU) wirft verstärkt die Frage auf, ob neben deren handelspolitischen Instrumenten auch das EU-Beihilfenrecht selbst den Binnenmarkt vor weltweit für unfair erachteten Subventionspraktiken Chinas, insbesondere chinesischer state-owned enterprises, schützen könnte. Der vorliegende Beitrag legt beispielhaft dar, in welchen Bereichen die Einflussnahme des chinesischen Staates auf die Unions- und Weltwirtschaft im Wege der Subventionierung zu konkreten Wettbewerbsverzerrungen zulasten EU-ansässiger Unternehmen führt, und begründet, warum die bisherigen außenhandelsrechtlichen Reformen und Reformpläne bei den Bemühungen um die Schaffung eines sog. Global Level Playing Field allenfalls eine flankierende Rolle einzunehmen geeignet sind. Er analysiert Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer legislativen Fortentwicklung des EU-Beihilfenrechts, um industrie- und handelspolitischen Zielstellungen stärker Rechnung tragen zu können, legt aber auch die Spannungen offen, welche sich aus einem solchen Paradigmenwechsel ergäben. Um einer durch Gegensubventionierungen drohenden Fragmentierung des Binnenmarktes vorzubeugen, muss die EU mithilfe eines integrierten Ansatzes Bemühungen um vertiefte Subventionsdisziplinen auf internationaler Ebene intensivieren.
The Atypical Fashion of the Us-China ‘Phase 1’-Deal: Context, Content and Perspectives
Authors: Glöckle Caroline , Würdemann Aike
Published: August 2020

In January 2020, the US and China finally concluded a bilateral trade agreement amidst an ongoing trade war. From the US side, the US-China ‘phase 1’-deal was hailed as a great achievement. The paper critically examines whether and to what extent the US-China ‘phase 1’-deal can keep up with its promises. In the course of the analysis, the paper finds that the trade deal will neither place US-Chinese trade relations on a new footing, nor does it incentivise China to fundamentally change its economic model. Instead, one may argue that the ‘phase 1’-deal has a harming effect on the multilateral idea of trade law as of today.
Treu und Glauben – »Good Faith«- Anforderungen in der Mediation
Authors: Grill Anne-Karin
Published: August 2020

In der Praxis sind (Selbst-)Verpflichtungen der Parteien, »Good Faith«-Anforderungen in Mediationsverfahren gerecht zu werden, durchaus gängig. Die Frage der Durchsetzbarkeit von Alternative-Dispute-Resolution-Abreden gab Anlass, das Konzept näher zu konkretisieren. Nach wie vor liegt jedoch keine einheitliche bzw. universell akzeptierte Definition von »Good Faith«-Anforderungen vor. Das gängigste Verständnis entwickelte sich angesichts von Bedenken, wonach die Durchführung einer Mediation abseits gewisser Wohlverha tensstandards sinn- und zwecklos und damit nur ein Kostenfaktor sei. Aus der Praxisperspektive bleibt der wohl effektivste Zugang, »Good Faith«-Anforderungen und deren Implementierung im Bereich des Erwartungsmanagements durch den Mediator oder im Bereich der das Verfahren allfällig administrierenden Institution anzusiedeln. Verpflichtungen des Mediators, über »Bad Faith«-Wahrnehmungen Bericht zu erstatten oder in sogenannte Satellitenverfahren als Zeuge zur Verfügung zu stehen, gehen zu weit und stehen grundlegenden Prinzipien der Mediation entgegen.
Gesundheitsförderung im Schulsport
Authors: Balz Eckart , Mergelkuhl Tim , Kastrup Valerie , Erlemeyer Reinhard
Published: August 2020

Der vorliegende Band beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Vorschlägen zur Gesundheitsförderung im Schulsport. Unser Band gliedert sich in drei große Teile, die mit jeweils fünf bis sechs Kapiteln zuerst wichtige "Grundlagen der Gesundheitsförderung" systematisch beleuchten, dann zentrale "Themenfelder der Gesundheitsförderung im Schulsport" differenziert ausweisen und schließlich konkrete "Praxisbeispiele zur Gesundheitsförderung im Schulsport" exemplarisch darlegen. Gesundheitsförderung ist aus dem Schulsport - gestern wie heute - nicht wegzudenken. In bildungspolitischer Hinsicht wurden und werden gesundheitliche Argumente zur Legitimation genutzt; in fachdidaktischer und curricularer Sicht ist die Gesundheitsförderung als schulische Aufgabe und fachliche Perspektive fest verankert; in schulorganisatorischer und schulsportpraktischer Sicht lässt sich eine deutliche Integration gesundheitsrelevanter Facetten in Schulprofile und Schulprogramme, in schuleigene Lehrpläne und realisierte Unterrichtsvorhaben beobachten. Daher geht es uns in diesem Band nicht darum zu zeigen, dass eine Gesundheitsförderung im Schulsport wichtig ist, sondern um die weiterführende Frage, wie diese Gesundheitsförderung (zeitgemäß) ausgestaltet werden kann und soll. Wir wollen so zu einer didaktisch-methodischen Präzisierung und Konkretisierung der Gesundheitsförderung im Schulsport beitragen.
Wissen im Sportunterricht
Authors: Wagner Ingo
Published: August 2020

Sportunterricht zielt primär auf Bewegung – aber wie steht es um die Vermittlung von Wissen? Welche Ziele werden bisher beim Erwerb von Wissen anvisiert? Welche Inhalte bieten sich dafür an, welche Methoden kommen zum Einsatz? Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen werden die Ziele, Inhalte und Methoden von Wissen im Sportunterricht zunächst aus sportdidaktischer Perspektive aufgearbeitet und anschließend als Untersuchungsdimensionen genutzt. Erstmals wird hier die Wissensvermittlung im Sportunterricht der Sekundarstufe 1 empirisch vielschichtig durch ein Mixed Methods-Design untersucht: Lehrpläne, schuleigene Lehrpläne, Unterrichtsvideos sowie zahlreiche Aussagen von Lehrkräften und SchülerInnen werden systematisch analysiert. Anhand dieser umfangreichen Daten aus dem Sportunterricht werden Möglichkeiten und Handlungsempfehlungen aufgezeigt, um ungenutzte Potenziale der Wissensvermittlung besser einzulösen.
“Deus vult aliquas esse certas notitias…”
Authors: Frank Günter ,   Zeta Books
Published: August 2020

The theory of notitiae naturales or κοιναὶ ἔννοιαι was part of the ancient Stoic epistemology. It served as precondition of any knowledge. Within the framework of the humanist rediscovery of ancient sources this theory became an important aspect of Philipp Melanchthon’s theological anthropology. This paper examines the polyvalent perspectives of the theory of notitiae naturales in Melanchthon’s philosophy and the role it played among Lutheran and Calvinist scholars, particularly regarding Rom 1: 19, where Paul stated some kind of a natural knowledge of God. The idea of notitiae communes or “common notions” as an a priori precondition of knowledge was widely spread both on the continent and in England in early modernity. It came to an end by John Locke’s critique in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding.
Causation and the Origin of Suboptimal Design in Biology
Authors: Berhow Michael ,   Evangelical Philosophical Society
Published: August 2020

This paper seeks to demonstrate why the existence of suboptimal design in biology does not offer a reason for Christians to reject the biological case for Intelligent Design (ID). In it, I argue that Christians who critique ID based upon alleged deficiencies within biology fail to imagine the various ways in which a divine designer might bring about certain biological effects. That is, such critics presumably envision a simplistic notion of divine causation—where God either directly brings about every biological effect, or is not involved in any biological effect. Such either or thinking, I maintain, is theologically unnecessary.
