Fecal incontinence is a common symptom among patients with rectal prolapse. Pudendal nerve terminal motor latency (PNTML) testing can serve as a reference indicator for predicting the outcomes of rectal prolapse surgery, thereby assisting surgeons in formulating more appropriate surgical plans. The direct correlation between preoperative PNTML testing results and postoperative fecal incontinence in patients with rectal prolapse remains a contentious issue, necessitating further clarification. Thus, we analyze the existing publications from both clinical and statistical perspectives to comprehensively evaluate the accuracy of preoperative PNTML testing in rectal prolapse and provide some feasible statistical solutions.

Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Postoperative complications like remnant hepatic vein (HV) outflow block and liver torsion can occur after right hepatectomy. Hepatic falciform ligament fixation is typically used to prevent liver torsion. We report a novel procedure to manage outflow block.

CASE SUMMARY

An 80-year-old man developed HV outflow block after remnant right hepatectomy, despite liver fixation and intraoperative HV flow check. He had a history of cholangiocellular carcinoma and had undergone posterior segmentectomy and choledojejunostomy. The falciform ligament fixation was inadequate to maintain liver position. Emergency surgery was performed, using an omental flap and mobilized right side colon with ileocecal region to prevent liver dislocation due to intraabdominal adhesion. His postoperative course was uneventful.

CONCLUSION

This is the first report providing a novel surgical procedure when the falciform ligament is insufficient for remnant liver fixation.
Catholic Charismatics and Ecumenical Translation after Vatican II
Authors: Schramm Mat
Published: August 2024

precis: In this essay, I argue that post-conciliar Catholic ecumenical discourse responds to anxieties about unity and identity in ecumenical encounter by turning to translation metaphors. Such metaphors, I suggest, fail to give an account of dialogue-across-difference that preserves the identity of both participants, but they do accurately describe the trans-formative effect such dialogue has on one's own tradition. Thus, while translation metaphors may not work to describe the ecumenical vision of Vatican II, they may be useful in describing the ecumenical reality of the 1960s charismatic renewal. Moreover, I suggest that such an understanding of translation offers us a space to think creatively about that renewal's theological significance.

We present an open-source homemade Stokes polarimeter for real-time determination of the state and degree of polarization of a light beam by measuring all four Stokes parameters. Our design uses standard, commercially available optical components, mounted on a 3D printed base. Our user-friendly software allows visualization of the measured polarization state on the Poincaré sphere. We model the polarimeter using realistic Mueller matrices and present a detailed methodology to characterize every optical component and calibrate the instrument. The accuracy of the polarimeter largely depends on the quality of the chosen optical components, which in turn affects its price. Depending on this choice, the instrument can be used for applications ranging from simple didactic purposes to more accurate, research-grade measurements. In our case, we estimate an accuracy better than ±2.2∘ in the determination of the state of polarization and ±6.0% in the degree of polarization. This makes our instrument useful for the correct alignment of polarization-maintaining fibers, as it allows one to quickly and efficiently match the polarization axis of the light to the polarization axes of the fiber. The high sampling rate of 60 k samples/s opens up the possibility to analyze the polarization of rapidly fluctuating signals such as light pulses. Moreover, the flexibility of our design permits to analyze light signals in a broad range of wavelengths, from deep UV to infrared, after opportune change of the optical components, representing an alternative low cost to more expensive commercial instruments.
Phase-controlled pattern-tunable optical traveling wave antenna array
Authors: Ding Yinxing
Published: August 2024

An optical phased array is designed based on equally spaced identical Au waveguides serving as optical traveling wave antennas (OTWAs). Phased surface plasmon polaritons are fed through the Au waveguides and partly radiate out at the terminals. The simulation results indicate that the pattern maximum of a 7-element OTWA array can be dynamically steered over a range of up to 60.6° by changing the excitation phase differences between the elements, and the main lobe is narrowed compared to the single-element case. A theoretical analysis about the tunable pattern by the pattern multiplication principle is carried out, which is basically consistent with the simulations. Such an OTWA array should have potential applications in nano-optics due to its ability to steer the pattern without mechanical motion.

Published: August 2024

The emergence of space division multiplexing technology has enabled large-scale expansion of fiber transmission capacity, and the mode selection coupler (MSC) based on few-mode fibers (FMFs) has been studied as a promising technique for SDM. In this work, we demonstrated an all-fiber three-mode selective coupler formed with a pre-tapered single-mode fiber and two types of FMF by fused biconical taper technology. The simulation results show that efficient mode conversion can be achieved by optimizing the degree of pre-tapered fibers, fiber core distance, and coupling zone length. Both simulated and experimental results show that the FMF in the MSC is capable of selectively exciting LP11, LP21, or LP31 modes. The simulation illustrates that the conversion purity is higher than 50%, and the bandwidth can reach 360 nm, 395 nm, and 180 nm when the two high-order modes are LP11/LP11, LP11/LP21, and LP11/LP31, respectively. Furthermore, the MSC is capable of mode multiplexing without the need of a mode converter and can generate high-quality orbital angular momentum modes. This MSC design is scalable to accommodate a larger number of mode selective couplings, so it can be easily integrated with broadband fiber optical communication systems.

Published: August 2024

Embedding halide perovskite nanoparticles (NPs) into glasses can be regarded as a feasible approach to improve their long-term stability when they are exposed to air or moisture. However, it remains elusive to rationally grow highly luminescent halide perovskite NPs owing to poor understanding of the relationship between glass network topology and NP precipitation. Here, by introducing alkali metal ions as “B-phase structural scissors”, the precipitation and aggregation of NPs are optimized based on glass network topology modulation, which boosts their photoluminescence performance. After Li doping, the photoluminescence quantum yield of CsPbBr3 perovskite NPs embedded in glass increases by 39% with respect to that of the undoped counterpart. The alkali metal ions are utilized to reduce thermal activation energy from 130.04 KJ mol-1 to 125.35 KJ mol-1 according to thermodynamics analysis, which corresponds to an increase in the size of the NPs. Benefiting from excellent chemical inertness, the luminescence intensity of as-made CsPbBr3 NP embedded glass retains near unity after soaking them in water for 180 days. The utilization of alkali metals as a facile strategy to modify the glass network enables improved performance of target NPs, thereby providing deeper insights into the design of host-dependent NP-functionalized glass.
Ultra high-speed 3D shape measurement technology for specular surfaces based on μPMD

Published: August 2024

Phase measuring deflectometry (PMD) has been extensively applied to measure specular surfaces due to its non-contact, high-precision, full-field measurement capabilities. Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen is the most common structured light source in PMD. However, the response time of liquid crystal molecules limits its frame rate to around 100 frames per second (fps). Therefore, it is quite difficult for traditional PMD to measure rapidly moving surfaces. This paper proposes a 3D dynamic sensing technique, microsecond-PMD (µPMD) based on the high-frame-rate sinusoidal fringe display (HSFD). In the proposed method, the switching time for each fringe pattern display is at a sub-microsecond level, enabling high-speed fringe acquisition with kHz-level area array detection or 100kHz-level line array scanning. The HSFD method uses a specially designed LED array and two-step optical expansion. The high-speed switching characteristic of LED sources is utilized to allow a superfast display rate. Moreover, the superior sinusoidal property can be achieved by the combination of the specially designed discrete sinusoidal LED array, the light-diffracting effect of orthogonal gratings, and the filtering effect of the light diffuser. The mechanism and analytic model of fringe generation are thoroughly analyzed and discussed in this work. Furthermore, the swarm optimization algorithm and corresponding weighted fringe quality evaluation function are presented to obtain the optimal fringes. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed µPMD, for the first time, achieved a superfast fringe acquisition rate of 4000fps with sub-micrometer precision in three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction for specular surfaces. We envision this proposal to be broadly implemented for real-time monitoring in manufacturing.
Improving resolution in passive direct imaging with off-axis aberrations
Authors: Liang Kevin
Published: August 2024

Imaging systems with off-axis Seidel aberrations are shown to exhibit improved resolution of general object intensity distributions compared to the diffraction-limited system. The Fisher information for the estimation for unknown object intensity values in such systems is greater due to the increased sensitivity of their response to similar object scenes, via shift variance. This improvement in resolution is demonstrated for systems in which image-plane photons have Poisson or additive Gaussian statistics.
Innovative design to achieve a multi-band electromagnetic wave stealth
Authors: Geng Jiaqi , Deng Xin-Hua , Xiong Zhipeng , Gao Jiapeng , Song Binbin
Published: August 2024

Metamaterials have opened up a new field of electromagnetic wave stealth that can achieve cross-band electromagnetic wave stealth through high electromagnetic wave absorption and low infrared emission. However, traditional cross-band stealth metamaterials make covering the terahertz band challenging and have certain design flaws. This Letter introduces an innovative cross-band electromagnetic wave stealth metasurface design that can achieve cross-band stealth in the infrared, microwave, and THz bands. We use phase change materials and the gradient principle to achieve GHz and THz cross-band absorption. We also design surface height-covered low infrared emitting materials, which give them lower infrared emissivity. These functions give it enormous potential in military applications, and using phase change materials for cross-band absorption also provides new, to our knowledge, ideas for multifunctional stealth materials.
Topological polarization beam splitter based on directional coupling between asymmetric valley photonic crystal waveguides
Authors: He Lvjin , Ouyang Mingyu , Su Ya , Peng Fangyuan , Deng Weimin , Wan Lipeng , He Lingjuan , Yu Tianbao
Published: August 2024

Compared with symmetric directional couplers (DCs), asymmetric DCs constructed by two or over two different parallel waveguides offer a more flexible structure and allow for easier expansion of mode channels. In this Letter, we propose a kind of asymmetric topological DC based on two different valley photonic crystal waveguides (VPCWs). According to the coupled-mode theory, phase matching induces the complete coupling for the guide modes of two different VPCWs, whereas significant phase mismatching indicates no coupling occurs. Furthermore, the asymmetric topological DCs exhibit backscattering immunity and anti-disturbance robustness owing to the topological edge states (TESs), which greatly improve the performance of asymmetric DCs. We further design a new, to the best of our knowledge, kind of topological polarization beam splitter (TPBS) at the communication wavelength of 1550 nm by ensuring that the transverse electric mode satisfies the phase matching condition, while the transverse magnetic mode is phase-mismatched. The simulated results demonstrate that the proposed TPBS exhibits highly effective polarization separation and is robust against defects. This design holds significant potential for applications in optical communication systems.

Other nonlinear optical signals and normal confocal fluorescence can also be detected. It is a highly adaptable fully motorised system with specific calibration procedures and equipped with a simple graphical user interface for experiment control and data analysis. We report a description and characterisation of the instrument along with an application example of a pharmaceutical tablet image. The results underline the current state-of-the-art for such an instrument.
Ultrafast 550-W average-power thin-disk laser oscillator
Authors: Seidel Moritz , Lang Lukas , Phillips Christopher R. , Keller Ursula
Published: August 2024

SESAM modelocked oscillators are interesting for applications in strong-field physics such as high-harmonic generation and attosecond science at high repetition rates or frequency combs in the ultraviolet. Here we present a SESAM modelocked ultrafast thin-disk laser oscillator providing 550W of average output power with 852fs pulses at 5.5MHz repetition rate. To reach this significant power scaling, a replicating cavity design for modelocked oscillators is utilized. The oscillator delivers 103 MW of peak power with a pulse energy of 100 µJ at a beam quality ofM2<1.2, with a high optical-to-optical efficiency of 35%. The advances in SESAM design and manufacturing that enabled this result are discussed, as well as practical challenges when scaling oscillators to the kW-class. When combined with established pulse compression technologies, this oscillator can enable simpler systems by avoiding the complexity of chirped pulse amplifier chains. Additionally, high power oscillators support a much lower noise floor due to the reduced influence of shot noise, which may provide a route to more sensitive pump-probe measurements.
Robust continuous-variable quantum key distribution in the finite-size regime
Authors: Xu Yuehan , Wang Tao , Liao Xiaojuan , Zhou Yingming , Huang Peng , Zeng Guihua
Published: August 2024

Quantum key distribution (QKD) has been proven to be theoretically unconditionally secure. However, any theoretical security proof relies on certain assumptions. In QKD, the assumption in the theoretical proof is that the security of the protocol is considered under the asymptotic case where Alice and Bob exchange an infinite number of signals. In the continuous-variable QKD (CV-QKD), the finite-size effect imposes higher requirements on block size and excess noise control. However, the local local oscillator (LLO) CV-QKD system cannot be considered time-invariant under long blocks, especially in cases of environmental disturbances. Thus, we propose an LLO CV-QKD scheme with time-variant parameter estimation and compensation. We first establish an LLO CV-QKD theoretical model under the temporal modes of continuous-mode states. Then, a robust method is used to compensate for arbitrary frequency shift and arbitrary phase drift in CV-QKD systems with longer blocks, which cannot be achieved under traditional time-invariant parameter estimation. Besides, the digital signal processing method predicated on high-speed reference pilots can achieve a time complexity of O(1). In the experiment, the frequency shift is up to 89.05 MHz/s and phase drift is up to 3.036 Mrad/s using a piezoelectric transducer (PZT) to simulate the turbulences in the practical channel. With a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) of −51.67  dB, we achieve a secret key rate (SKR) of 0.29 Mbits/s with an attenuation of 16 dB or a standard fiber of 80 km. This work paves the way for future long-distance field-test experiments in the finite-size regime.
Do regional tax incentive policies improve productivity?
Authors: Zhao Mengchao , Xiao Xiang , Yang Jiaan , Chen Haonan
Published: August 2024

The difficulty in transforming old industrial areas constitutes a significant factor contributing to regional development imbalances. Can regional tax incentives, as a crucial component of regional policies, polish the “rust belt” regions? This study leverages the inaugural Value-Added Tax (VAT) reform in China as an opportunity to explore the potential of regional tax incentives in achieving sustainable development in traditional industrial areas. Drawing upon a comprehensive industrial enterprise database, we employ a Propensity Score Matching-Difference in Differences (PSM-DID) approach to examine the efficacy of these tax incentives. Our findings reveal that: (1) Regional tax incentives primarily enhance firms productivity by stimulating investment in enterprises, yet they do not contribute to improved investment efficiency or spur innovation within firms. (2) Regional tax incentives have alleviated financing constraints for enterprises in old industrial bases, significantly enhancing the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) of firms with higher financing constraints. This policy has had an even stronger impact on improving the TFP of state-owned and monopolistic enterprises. (3) Regional tax incentives have impeded productivity growth by preventing the exit of low-efficiency firms and the entry of high-efficiency ones. These incentives also increased the likelihood of “zombie firms” forming and failed to promote endogenous economic growth in the Northeast region. Additionally, they have distorted the allocation of resources towards capital and technology-intensive industries in that area. In China’s old industrial bases, regional tax incentives should be coordinated with market-oriented reforms; these regional tax incentive policies should also be further enriched.

Bed bug infestations have been increasing worldwide since the 2000s. Their consequences for health range from skin reactions to major psychological distress. However, epidemiological data is still lacking. This study estimated the incidence of general practice consultations related to bed bugs in France and evaluated factors associated with repercussions on everyday life. We conducted a prospective observational study from March 2019 to April 2020 among 217 GPs in France. Annual and monthly GP consultations related to bed bugs were estimated from the reported cases. Descriptive analyses were performed, and factors associated with repercussions on everyday life were assessed using a logistic regression model. The annual incidence rate of GP consultations related to bed bugs was estimated at 109 per 100,000 inhabitants [95%CI: 92–126]. Bed bug-related consultations occurred in all regions, peaking in the summer. Moderate-to-severe repercussions on everyday life were reported by 39% of the patients. The associated factors with this level of repercussions were: having seen bed bugs (OR = 4.02 [95%CI: 1.6–10.73]), having lesions from scratching (OR = 5.25 [1.65–19.92]), having lesions on the head and the neck (OR = 3.97 [1.52–10.95]) and reporting psychological distress (OR = 6.79 [2.47–20.42]). This study provides new knowledge on GP consultations related to bed bugs in France. These data will help tailor public health programs to the population’s needs, including information and training for primary healthcare professionals.

CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies have driven a paradigm shift in the treatment of relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies. However, >50% of CD19-CAR-T-treated patients experience progressive disease mainly due to antigen escape and low persistence. Clinical prognosis is heavily influenced by CAR-T cell function and systemic cytokine toxicities. Furthermore, it remains a challenge to efficiently, cost-effectively, and consistently manufacture clinically relevant numbers of virally engineered CAR-T cells. Using a highly efficient piggyBac transposon-based vector, Quantum pBac™ (qPB), we developed a virus-free cell-engineering system for development and production of multiplex CAR-T therapies. Here, we demonstrate in vitro and in vivo that consistent, robust and functional CD20/CD19 dual-targeted CAR-T stem cell memory (CAR-TSCM) cells can be efficiently produced for clinical application using qPB™. In particular, we showed that qPB™-manufactured CAR-T cells from cancer patients expanded efficiently, rapidly eradicated tumors, and can be safely controlled via an iCasp9 suicide gene-inducing drug. Therefore, the simplicity of manufacturing multiplex CAR-T cells using the qPB™ system has the potential to improve efficacy and broaden the accessibility of CAR-T therapies.
Transition of the life cycle of the gold and jewellery innovation ecosystem and development of its future scenarios: The case of Mashhad, Iran’s second-largest metropolis
Authors: Kharazmi Omid Ali , Shaddel Lia
Published: August 2024

As the second-largest city in Iran, Mashhad has a rich history in the gold industry. Mashhad’s gold and jewellery innovation ecosystem (MGJIE) is now at a stage of decline, and renewal or sharp decline cycles lie ahead. This article explores these two scenarios and their implications for the innovation ecosystems of this industry. The first objective is to imagine the future of the MGJIE using a normative approach and formulate policies to realize an optimistic future. The second objective is to investigate the pessimistic scenario and its implications for the ecosystem. The normative scenarios are created for a 2032 horizon using the back casting method. With regard to the second objective, the exploratory approach is used for the 2047 horizon. In both objectives, 46 questionnaires and fifteen interviews are used. In the normative scenario, nine drivers are identified. In the exploratory approach, three scenarios are formulated, while in the last scenario, with the occurrence of four steps of the renewal plan, improving the performance of the ecosystem is guaranteed. Innovation is a by-product of scenario thinking. The combined application of innovation ecosystem and scenario planning in the jewellery industry has not previously been the focus of research in Iran or other countries.
Psychological factors leveraging success to SMEs in Indian green automobile industry
Authors: Kumar Satinder , Singh Pushpinder , Kumar Anuj
Published: August 2024

The current work draws comparisons with stimulus–organism–response (SOR) theory and provides a pertinent levering comprehension for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Indian automobile industry, by investigating consumers’ attitude towards electric vehicles (EVs) offered by them. Four factors, (1) ostentatious (conspicuous) consumption, (2) ecological behaviour, (3) utilitarian shopping values and (4) lifestyle, have been accounted for, in this regard. Additionally, the study looks at how this mindset affects Indian customers’ intentions to consistently use EVs (offered by SMEs). A sample of 382 Indian owners of EVs provided information via a standardized questionnaire. To make conclusions from the obtained data, the structural equation modelling (SEM) approach was applied. According to the findings, only utilitarian shopping value – one of the four antecedents – has no discernible correlation with attitudes towards EVs that Indian SMEs sell. Also, the study provides evidence that attitude positively relates with continuous intention to use EVs.

Adorno, a educação contra a barbárie e o cenário brasileiro
Authors: Dias Luciano Teixeira , Faria Marcos Roberto de
Published: August 2024

Este artigo tem a intenção de abordar um expressivo fenômeno político de extrema-direita que emerge na sociedade brasileira, em particular na esfera da Educação Básica, suscitando controvérsias em comunidades escolares e no campo das pesquisas em Educação. Notamos que o desfecho da elaboração da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), publicada em 2018, ocorreu ainda no alvorecer da experiência política e educacional que então colocamos em tela. Diante dessa conjuntura, realizamos uma análise do contexto em que o documento foi implementado. Averiguamos justamente se o documento da BNCC se fundamenta sob uma perspectiva considerada emancipatória, nos contornos do quadro conceitual oferecido pela teoria crítica de Theodor Adorno (1995), em razão da preocupação dele com o tema da emancipação no âmbito educacional. Em conclusão, destacamos que as emergentes forças sociais do neoliberalismo e do fascismo à brasileira balizaram a produção – e não uma determinação – das diretrizes pedagógicas que atualmente prescrevem o que deve ser ensinado no ofício da docência nas escolas públicas e privadas do país.

Published: August 2024

Enfermeiros/enfermeiras atuam na escola desde o final do século 19 no Brasil, utilizando a competência de comunicação, que sofreu alterações quanto às abordagens e temáticas. O objetivo deste texto é contribuir para o incremento de debates que envolvam a temática da comunicação em saúde na escola por enfermeiros/enfermeiras no Brasil. As concepções da enfermagem acompanharam diálogos internacionais, avanços científicos, demandas sociais, econômicas e culturais. Diante das conjunturas, a atuação deles/as na escola acompanhou o período vivenciado. Na atualidade, recomenda-se que se utilize da comunicação humanizada e centrada no indivíduo, em parceria com a família e a escola, como uma tecnologia leve relacional, bem como um elo entre saúde e educação na prevenção e promoção da saúde. Ademais, aponta-se para elementos que poderão contribuir para efetivar a integralidade à saúde: diálogo, simetria de poder, respeito à cultura local, abordagem holística, perspectiva salutogênica e uso do lúdico.

Published: August 2024

O objetivo deste artigo foi apresentar a experiência dos Círculos de Cultura (CC) com mulheres expostas à violência, no período de junho a dezembro de 2021, em Campinas, como estratégia de cuidado na perspectiva da Educação Popular em Saúde. Como método, foram realizados dois ciclos de CC compostos por oito encontros com mulheres maiores de 18 anos expostas à violência, residentes no distrito norte do município. Os temas geradores iniciais explicitam a violência em suas diferentes formas e se constituem também como arcabouços da experiência das participantes. São tais temas: filhos, trabalho, futuro, raça, sistema judiciário brasileiro, saúde da mulher e confiança. A presença do Estado nos territórios vulneráveis se mostrou ineficiente, com serviços públicos ineficientes, frequentemente agente de diferentes formas de violência e perpetuadora da desigualdade social. Essa ineficiência se manifestou na narrativa por parte das mulheres participantes do estudo, que interpretavam o sofrimento ligado à violência como efeito de responsabilidade individual de cada uma delas. O círculo de cultura se mostrou como potencial ferramenta para o empoderamento das participantes, a partir do compartilhamento democrático de saberes e experiências acerca da violência, se tornando um espaço emancipador de contínuo aprendizado, liberdade, resistência e construções afetivas.

Stres, bireylerin yaşam boyunca karşılaştıkları bir olgudur. Örgütsel stres, bireyleri iş yaşamında bazı problemler ile karşı karşıya bırakmaktadır. Stresin yoğun olduğu iş gruplarından birisi de muhasebeciliktir. Muhasebe alanında faaliyet gösteren meslek mensuplarının meslekleri doğrultusunda yaşadıkları sorunlara yönelik olarak stresle başa çıkma yöntemlerini belirlemek ve muhasebe meslek mensuplarının stresle mücadele etme yöntemlerinin demografik değişkenlere göre farklılık gösterip göstermediğini incelemek bu çalışmanın amaçları arasındadır. Nedensel karşılaştırma araştırması türündeki bu çalışmanın evreni Kasım 2023 tarihi itibariyla Mersin ilinde yer alan Serbest Muhasebeci Mali Müşavirler Odası’nda kayıtlı olarak gözüken 2119 muhasebe meslek çalışanından oluşmaktadır. Erişilebilirlikte kolaylık sağlaması açısından kolayda örnekleme yöntemi seçilmiştir. Yüz yüze ya da e-posta kullanılarak anket yoluyla 117 muhasebe meslek mensubundan veri toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde açımlayıcı faktör analizinden, Mann-Whitney U ve Kruskal Wallis testlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Ulaşılan bulgulara göre, bu çalışma kapsamında muhasebe meslek mensuplarının mesleklerini icra ederken stresle başa çıkmada en çok başvurdukları yöntem, problem çözme olmuştur. En az başvurdukları yöntem ise rehberlik/destek arama olmuştur. Mesleki unvan, yaş, mesleki deneyim süresi, aylık gelir durumu açısından rehberlik/destek arama yöntemi için anlamlı farklılığa ulaşılmıştır. Problem çözme yöntemi için ise sadece aylık gelir durumuna göre anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur.
Investigación y defensa en clave tecnológica
Authors: López Yagües Verónica
Published: August 2024

El sujeto encausado es protagonista involuntario de un proceso que ha de ser marco en el que ver garantizados sus derechos y es, sin embargo, el instrumento con mayor capacidad de erosionarlos; un proceso, centrado en las personas y, al tiempo, marcadamente tecnológico. En este escenario, la configuración de un estatuto jurídico irreductible a favor del encausado que garantice la efectividad de un fortalecido derecho de defensa, es el primero de los propósitos a los que sirve este análisis. Ser conscientes, además, de que el uso de la tecnología, desde la más accesible y de uso frecuente por la ciudadanía, hasta la más sofisticada y al alcance de menor número de personas, pero no exclusivamente de los responsables de la investigación penal, permite llevar esta a extremos, hasta fechas recientes, inimaginables, hacía obligado detenerse en esta otra realidad; en ocasiones, la obtención de la fuente de prueba entra en pugna con el respeto a los derechos fundamentales de la persona o se asiste a su efectiva lesión, sea por los órganos policiales, sea resultado de la actividad llevada a cabo por un particular. La generación, en esos casos, de lo que se conoce como prueba ilícita, determina el juego de la regla que impide su entrada en el proceso y su toma en consideración por el juzgador; una regla que, a la luz de la última doctrina jurisprudencial, viene asentada sobre postulados distintos de los que originariamente la sostuvieron. Examinar, con mirada crítica, el fundamento y alcance de esta suerte de relativización de esta regla de exclusión procesal y sus consecuencias, y ofrecer a los operadores jurídicos, valiosas herramientas y fórmulas para una eficaz tutela de los derechos afectados por las, no sin razón, denominadas medidas de “vigilancia tecnológica”, es el fin último al que se dirigen las consideraciones traídas a estas páginas.
El turismo como actividad mercantil. Principales relaciones negociales
Authors: González Cabrera Inmaculada
Published: August 2024

En estos tiempos de desarrollo, evolución y cambio, no es nueva la discusión de la eventual autonomía del Derecho turístico. Tampoco la afirmación de que es una materia vicaria de otras disciplinas jurídicas. Mas, tal vez todos estos encuentros y muchas veces desencuentros, resulten intrascendentes para una disciplina, el turismo, desarrollada a través de diversos instrumentos y ordenada por varias administraciones, que requiere una perspectiva más armonizada a efectos de garantizar la unidad de mercado. La razón fundamental es que la actividad turística se desarrolla principalmente a través de contratos que, solo pueden merecer el calificativo de mercantiles y que a la postre sirven al turista como cliente. A estas cuestiones pretende dar cumplido desarrollo y respuesta la presente obra.
Heilige Räume in der Hebräischen Bibel
Authors: Bunzel Marlen
Published: August 2024

Der vorliegende Text setzt bei den Begrifflichkeiten an, die die Hebräische Bibel für heilige Räume bereithält. Er fokussiert sich dabei vor allem auf Texte aus den Büchern Genesis und Exodus, da sich hier zentrale heilige Räume der Hebräischen Bibel finden: der heilige Ort in Ex 3 – und Gen 28, der heilige Berg in Ex 19 – und Gen 22, sowie das mobile Zelt-Heiligtum ab Ex 25, welches im Heiligen Land zu einem festen Heiligtum, dem Tempel wird. Deutlich wird, dass es sich bei den heiligen Räumen der Hebräischen Bibel nicht um statische, begrenzte Räume handelt, sondern um Beziehungsräume, die sich in Relation zu Gott, dem unbegrenzten heiligen Raum (HaMakom), entfalten.
»Gott wohnt auch im Bimsbeton«
Authors: Lieb Stefanie
Published: August 2024

Der Einsatz von Sichtbeton als gestalterischem Material für den Bau von Kirchen in den 1950er bis 70er Jahren galt damals und gilt bis heute oftmals als problematisch, da häufig mit dem Material und seiner »profanen« Wirkung keine »sakrale« Atmosphäre verbunden werden kann. Im Beitrag wird untersucht, wie das Alltagsmaterial Beton zu einem Symbolträger und Raumgestalter im Kirchenbau werden konnte und welche Rechtfertigungsstrategien hier von Seiten der Architekturgestaltenden zum Tragen kamen.
In Bewegung

Die Kirche St. Rochus in Düsseldorf ist in den 1950er Jahren als Ersatz eines kriegszerstörten Kirchenschiffes errichtet worden. Ihre radikale Architektur bietet Raum, in dem Menschen eine höhere Wirklichkeit erfahren können. Doch um heiliger Raum sein zu können, müssen heilige Handlungen gut in ihm vollziehbar sein. Die Umgestaltung des Kirchenraumes hat zum Ziel, Raum und Liturgie aufeinander abzustimmen, miteinander verschmelzen zu lassen.
Heiligende Räume
Authors: Menzel Kerstin
Published: August 2024

Der Beitrag fragt danach, inwiefern sich der in der baulichen Form enthaltene sakrale Charakter von Kirchenräumen in säkularen Neunutzungen und deren Praktiken niederschlägt. Dafür werden zunächst unterschiedliche Weisen beschrieben, in denen eine neue Nutzung sich auf die sakralen Raumdimensionen beziehen kann. Anhand eines Fallbeispiels wird dann gezeigt, wie sich der Kirchenraum überraschend und beharrlich in eine sportlich-soziale Nutzung einspielt.
Shared Space
Authors: Nützel Gerdi
Published: August 2024

Die Umnutzung von Sakralräumen durch Religionsgemeinschaften anderer kultureller, konfessioneller und religiöser Prägung eröffnet neue Chancen für die interreligiöse Konvivenz. Das Raumkonzept Shared Space gibt inspirierende Anregungen für die innen- und außenarchitektonischen Raumtransformationen, aber auch für Perspektiven, die durch Umnutzungen für gesellschaftliche, interreligiös-theologische und spirituelle Kooperationsräume entstehen können.
»Heiliges Russland« und »Russische Welt«
Authors: Flogaus Reinhard
Published: August 2024

Schon zu Beginn seiner Amtszeit hat der russische Patriarch Kirill das seit 2001 von Wladimir Putin propagierte Narrativ einer »Russischen Welt«, das heißt eines durch Sprache, Kultur, traditionelle Werte und orthodoxen Glauben geeinten Volkes, aufgegriffen und es mit der Idee der »Heiligen Rus’« und ihrer eschatologischen Mission verbunden. Zahlreiche Motive dieser im 16. Jahrhundert entstandenen Vorstellung eines heiligen Landes und eines auserwählten Volkes, das von einem orthodoxen Herrscher regiert wird und das mit göttlichem Beistand gegen Unglauben und die Laster kämpft, kehren in den gegenwärtigen Predigten und Ansprachen des Patriarchen wieder. Doch Kirills theologische Rechtfertigung des Ukrainekrieges als eines Kampfes für die Einheit der »Heiligen Rus’« und gegen die Pseudowerte des Westens hat seiner Kirche schweren Schaden zugefügt und dazu geführt, dass sich die Ukrainische und die Lettische Orthodoxe Kirche vom Moskauer Patriarchat getrennt haben und andere Teile der ROK sich klar von ihrem Kirchenoberhaupt distanzieren.
Numerical study on surface treatment of vibration-impact composite electric spark based on ABAQUS

Published: August 2024

Through numerical simulation, this study explores the effect of vibration-impact composite electric spark (VIES) surface treatment technology on the temperature and thermal stress fields of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy surfaces. The depth of the molten pool and residual stress are evaluated using orthogonal experiments to score different experimental schemes, resulting in three experimental parameters categorized as good, medium, and poor. The study then examines the temperature and thermal stress fields for these three sets of parameters during the strengthening process. The results indicate that, considering the temperature field, the distance between the heat source and the work piece directly affects the heating efficiency and temperature distribution. An appropriate distance and sufficient dwell time are essential for creating the ideal molten pool thickness. Analysis of the stress field results shows that in the early stage of strengthening, the inertia force of the small spheres is dominant, while in the later stage, the stress field created by the electric current becomes decisively dominant. This indicates that the electric current is the core of the three influencing factors in the orthogonal experiment.
