Authors: Tikhonova Elena , Gorbunova Nadezhda , Sheshnitsan Sergey , Odnoralov Gennady
Published: December 2023

Changes in soil carbon stocks have a significant impact on atmospheric CO2 concentrations and the global carbon balance. Despite the proven effectiveness of agroforestry in erosion control and prevention of soil fertility loss, there are many controversial data suggesting that the impact of afforestation on Chernozem soils should be further investigated. The Kamennaya Steppe site (arable land surrounded by shelterbelt forests) is a reference site for monitoring studies at the Voronezh Carbon Test Site, where the carbon balance of agro-ecosystems is being studied and the ecological role of shelterbelt forests in changing soil properties and carbon sequestration is being evaluated. The study was focused on the evaluation of agro-ecological characteristics and the impact of tillage on Chernozems of Kamennaya Steppe under different vegetation types. The study of the chemical properties of chernozems was carried out using classical chemical methods; the analysis of heavy metals was carried out using the voltampermetric method. Comprehensive agro-ecological evaluation showed that the studied Vorony-Calcic Chernozems had a high content of humus, which reached 7-8% in the upper horizons, enriched with mineral nutrition elements, and had favorable physical and chemical properties. Forest and grassland vegetation contribute to enrichment of the soil with organic residues, while tillage and mineralization of organic matter on arable land led to a decrease in humus content. Data analysis suggested that the study area did not suffer from contamination. Furthermore, it was found that the organic matter of the studied chernozems was able to bind the studied metals and retain them in an unavailable state. This phenomenon was supported by rather high correlations between humus and total heavy metal content (r = 0.946 for Pb and r = 0.975 for Cd at p < 0.00001). It should be emphasized that shelterbelt forests could act as a biogeochemical barrier to the lateral migration of heavy metals. Cadmium is a rather mobile element potentially capable to migrate to adjacent environments. Therefore, regular monitoring of the agro-ecological condition of the Chernozems of the Kamennaya Steppe is required.

Authors: KAYA Ali İhsan
Published: December 2023

Due to their many applications' benefits, adhesively bonded joints are widely utilized in nearly every industry, including space, marine, automotive, and aeronautics. Since unpredicted loadings may cause resonance in the structures, an accurate prediction of the bonded joints' dynamic characteristics is crucial. Therefore, in this study, modal analysis was performed on the two-, three-, four- and double-step adhesively bonded lap joints of Aluminum (Al), Copper (Cu), and Mild steel (Ms) materials with Epoxy Araldite adhesive. Ansys commercial program was utilized to analyze it numerically. The results showed that modeling the bonding region of single lap joints as two-, three-, and four-step adhesively bonded lap joints has no significant effect on the natural frequencies. This modeling has a minor incremental effect on the natural frequencies. However, Double-step lap joints were found to cause a considerable reduction in natural frequencies compared to not only single lap joints but also two-, three-, and four-step adhesively bonded lap joints. Double-step bonding caused a decrease of 8.82%, 8.57%, and 8.73% for Al-Al, Cu-Cu, and Ms-Ms. In general, in all models, the best increase or decrease in terms of natural frequencies was found to be Cu-Cu adhesively lap joints.

Indonesian references in Iannis Xenakis' Claviers
Authors: Morais Ronan Gil de
Published: December 2023

The movement Claviers was composed for percussion keyboards and is part of Pléïades (1978) for six percussionists. Based on evidence from different archives, direct correlations with elements of traditional Indonesian music are highlighted here. The evidence points to the insertion of materials with which Xenakis had contact in the 1950s and during his trip to Bali and Java in 1972-1973. The insertion of exogenous material is rare within his work, but in Claviers it is a substantial part of the creative process, bringing a particular meaning to the structural treatment and sequence of sections that characterizes the movement. In doing so, the composer creates an underlying discourse and a rather dynamic context within this movement, and it points to correlations not yet examined in a broader part of his work. This dynamic context has very profound implications with Xenakis’ compositional thought and practice, bringing new elements to understanding part of the creative process during a very prolific phase of his life.

Advancing Strategies to Address Racism and White Dominant Culture in U.S. Anti-Gender-Based Violence Non-Profit Organizations
Authors: LaFortune Lucane , Palmer Jane , Negron Vanessa , Abreu Stephanie
Published: December 2023

In this article, we detail a participatory action research project conducted by and for advocates of color working in anti-violence organizations in a state in the eastern part of the United States. When mainstream, white-led, anti-gender-based violence (anti-GBV) organizations were founded in the 1970s, they lacked intersectional and critical perspectives, a legacy that persists today. The toxic culture within white dominant culture (WDC)-oriented non-profits results in high burnout and turnover for employees of color and affects employees’ ability to serve the community. Without addressing WDC in these organizations, we harm ourselves and our ability to make the social change our organizations were created to affect. Our project aims to challenge these practices by engaging with advocates of color in listening sessions to discuss their experiences of racism, workplace challenges, and visions for creating truly feminist, equitable, inclusive, and anti-racist organizations. Employing participatory action research, critical race feminist theory and an intersectional framework, we ensure that the people directly affected by implicit and explicit racism in the anti-GBV sector are the people who develop the solutions that will disrupt the manifestations of WDC in anti-GBV organizations and other social-change-oriented organizations within the non-profit sector.
Optical and ultrasonic dual-sensitive sensor and its application in photoacoustic microscopy
Authors: Xu Jiaye , Wu Shiqing , Tao Chao , Liu Xiaojun
Published: December 2023

Multi-modality imaging is significant for biomedical applications. We propose a dual-sensitive sensor to simultaneously detect optical and ultrasonic signals. Based upon the classical piezoelectric structure, we attach a photosensitive layer made of carbon nanotubes-polydimethylsiloxane (CNTs-PDMS) composite to the surface. The photosensitive layer absorbs light and converts it into ultrasound, while allowing acoustic energy to transmit through concurrently. After optimizing the ratio of PDMS to CNTs, we increase the sensor’s light detection sensitivity and maintain the ultrasound detection sensitivity. Finally, the successful implementation in mouse ear optical attenuation–photoacoustic imaging demonstrates the dual-sensitive sensor’s potential application in multi-modality imaging.

Energy resources (ES) that are part of the machine and tractor fleet, agricultural enterprise (Agricultural Enterprise), subject to intensive use, constantly need to maintain their working condition. The main problems of maintenance and repair of electrical systems and methods for solving them have been identified. A scheme for planning repairs at agricultural storage facilities has been determined. In conditions of limited time, medium and major repairs are proposed to be carried out by reassembly or by the aggregate-sectional method. It has been established that the main technical characteristics of the quality of repair bodies are the following indicators: the complexity of performing a certain type of repair on a given type of electrical system; repair cycle; repair intensity; working time fund. They are determined analytically and make it possible to evaluate the quality characteristics of repair bodies, determine the number and composition of repair teams at the enterprise, the list of repair work, etc. The norms for time expenditure (labor intensity) for performing each individual repair operation, which are also the norms for the production of repairmen, are determined in the process of repairing equipment by timing. When statistically processing the results of timing the time of repair work, the estimated norms of labor costs for individual types of work and the total costs of performing current, medium and major repairs for each type of electrical system are determined. Then the following is determined: lists of necessary equipment, instrumentation, equipment, tools and spare parts; technology of repair work; the required number of repair teams, workshops, workshops, sites, work areas and repair specialists; duration of the repair cycle; production standards for repair specialists; intensity of repairs; list of specialties, qualification level and productivity of each repairman. The implementation of theoretically based methods for determining the number and composition of repair teams when restoring power supply systems will expand the capabilities of the enterprise's repair bodies to restore equipment with faults of various types.

An analysis of planting machines used in horticulture and forestry is given in the article. A version of the most simplified machine with the placement of a planting disk and support wheels on one axis mounted on plain bearings is proposed for planting raspberries. The results of studying an array of typical seedlings for the shape and overall dimensions of their root system are given. It has been established that up to half of the studied array of planting material has a root system close to the symmetrical type, and 37.5% of seedlings are characterized by a twofold or more degree of asymmetry. The nature of the interaction between the root system of a seedling and the soil covering it is shown. The seedling is placed in the seedling holder with the most developed part of the roots forward in the direction of rotation of the disk. The combined vertical and longitudinal pressure of the soil coming from the harrows overturns the seedling, as a result of which its stem can take a position close to horizontal. If, when placing a seedling in a seedling holder, the most developed part of its root system is oriented in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the planting disk, then, as a rule, in the final position the stem of the seedling is inclined from the vertical at a small angle. It has been established that the spatial orientation of the stem of a raspberry seedling has no practical significance, because the root shoots that grow after planting are bearing fruit, the quality of which is not related to the spatial orientation of the original stem. The planting machine has been successfully used on the farm for 25 years. It has been established that after its passage, about 5% of planted plants require additional manual trimming.

The issues of assessing the energy performance of the improved drive of a multi-support irrigation machine (DM) operating in motion in the Kuban-LK1 circle are described. It is noted that in order to increase the efficiency of DM cart drives and increase the speed of their movement, it is necessary to develop geared motors with a high gear ratio. The most promising option seems to be the use of energy-intensive gearmotors equipped with wave transmission. The rationale for the use of highly efficient gearing is given through theoretical studies. It is indicated that today, in the design of machines of this type, wheel gears with ineffective worm gears are used, as a result of which a blocked connection and uneven peripheral wheel speeds are formed in the transmission of running systems, which leads to a decrease in efficiency. operation of gear motors. It is possible to eliminate such negative qualities of the operation of the Kuban-LK DM by equipping it with gearmotors with wave transmission. Experimental studies of the machine were carried out at Ozery JSC, Kolomensky district, Moscow region, on a prototype of an 8-bogie electrified multi-support DM “Kuban-LK1”. On four trolleys (No. 2, No. 3, No. 7 and No. 8), gear motors with wave transmission were installed on each wheel. Potatoes were watered. Agricultural background is a field planted with potatoes. The slope of the field along the water supply pipeline and in the direction of movement of the carts did not exceed ± 0.01. As a result of the research, operational indicators were obtained, presented in Table 1, which allowed us to draw the following conclusions: power consumption of the support trolley with a modernized drive when operating; two electric motors, is 300 - 370 W. Under the same conditions, a serial drive consumes 630 – 670 W. Thus, power savings occur due to increased efficiency. drive (η) from 0.5 to 0.8 and its unlocking, on average, by approximately 1.8 times.

It is impossible to obtain high-quality combined feeds without effective mixers. To improve them, you can use programs that simulate the behavior of bulk materials, but most of them are inaccessible and difficult to master. The use of more accessible software that simulates the process of fluid flow - “Flow Simulation” “SOLIDWORKS 2018” is proposed for assessing the movement of bulk materials. A previously developed design scheme was used, in which the working bodies of the mixer are combined and contain several sections of blades with reasonable geometric parameters for different purposes (transportation and mixing). A model of the scapula has been made. The parameter under study was the installation angle of the mixer blades relative to the shaft of the working element. The criterion for selecting blade installation angles was the presence of a maximum number of flow areas with velocities different from those specified for the overall material flow. As a result of the simulation, flow velocity distributions were obtained at given blade installation angles with a gradation step of flow velocity fields of 0.393 m/s. The limit values for the installation angles of the mixer blade are set from 0° to 60°. This criterion is met by blade installation angles from 45° to 0°. It is shown that the results of modeling the flow around a flat blade with given dimensions generally do not contradict the results of existing studies. Further research will be aimed at assessing the simulation results based on full-scale experiments with subsequent adjustments.

In this study, an important stability problem, in the design of cantilever I-beams under lateral torsional buckling behavior is theoretically investigated. The elastic lateral torsional buckling behavior of cantilever I beam loaded from shear centers is examined for four different loading types. The governing differential equation is transformed into a set of first-order ordinary differential equations. The Complementary Functions Method (CFM), which is an effective method in solving the first-order differential equation set, is used. Fifth Order Runge-Kutta (RK5) algorithm is used for numerical integrations in CFM, which can transform the boundary value problem into an initial value problem. The obtained results were compared with the existing results in the literature. It has been shown that CFM can be used effectively in the analysis of elastic lateral torsional buckling behavior of I beams.

Physical activity is any body movement that occurs due to skeletal muscle contractions that require energy expenditure. Overtraining can trigger oxidative stress due to chronic systemic hypoxia, cause an increase in systemic inflammatory response and multiorgan damage, and accelerate the aging process. The aging process is influenced by many factors, one of which is high-intensity swimming exercise which triggers the emergence of free radicals and leads to systemic oxidative stress. High-intensity swimming exercise is associated with an increase in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). The Papaya plant is famous for its therapeutic and nutritional properties. Papaya leaves contain secondary metabolites from papaya leaf extract including tannins, saponins, flavonoids, phenolics, and alkaloids. Papaya leaf extract has strong medicinal properties as an antibacterial, antiviral, antitumor, and antioxidant. This research is an experimental study with a post-test-only control group design. The sample in this study were male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) with an age range of 3-4 months with an average body weight range of 180-200 grams. As many as 36 rats were divided into 2 treatment groups. Treatment group 1 (P1) rats were given high-intensity swimming exercise treatment and aquabidest. Treatment group 2 (P2) rats were given high-intensity swimming exercise treatment and papaya leaf extract 60mg / 200g BB orally. Each treatment was carried out for 21 days. The data obtained will be analyzed using an independent sample T-test. The results of this study obtained: (1) the average MDA levels showed that the P1 group (1.02±0.064) was higher than the P2 group (0.86±0.44) with a value of p<0.001; (2) the average SOD level in the P2 group (2.72±0.437) was higher than P1 (1.46±0.288) with p<0.001; (3) the average number of Leydig cells in the P1 group (13.0±5.05) was lower than in the P2 group (30.0±5.05) with p<0.001. This study concluded that papaya leaf ethanol extract in rats was able to reduce MDA levels, increase SOD levels and increase the number of Leydig cells in male rats given high-intensity swimming exercise.
The Rise of Cinematic Santri in Post-Authoritarian Indonesia: Figure, Field and the Competing Discourse
Authors: Huda Ahmad Nuril
Published: December 2023

This article examines the past decade’s cinematic rise among young pious Muslims (santri) affiliated with Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Indonesia’s largest traditionalist Muslim group. It focuses on the social actors, the fields of cultural production, and the competing discourse central to this rise. Its main argument frames the santri’s turn to cinema as symbolic of various changes and continuities in multiple sectors of NU society’s life. It then situates the fields and discourses of the santri’s cinematic practices in the broader set of power relations, consisting of different, at times conflicting, identities and interests that come with being pious Muslims in public domains. To the extent that the efficacy of filmmaking practices and technologies has enhanced the rivalrous inclination of Islam in the post-Suharto Indonesian public sphere, the article offers an insight into the relationship between image-making practices and the politics of representation in a Southeast Asian Islam context.
An Overview On Ottoman Manuscript Collection in the Sayyid Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas Library
Authors: Özay Mehmet
Published: December 2023

This paper endeavors to give a quick view of the Ottoman manuscript (Osmanlı elyazmaları) collection at Sayyid Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas Library (SMNAL) of the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ISTAC) International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) by reviewing a published catalog. The Ottoman manuscripts, which mean texts written in the Ottoman Turkish language, were collected during the first part of the 1990s, inventoried, and cataloged during the early period of ISTAC. The collection possesses two hundred manuscripts on diverse subjects. This makes the SMNAL the most pertinent library in Southeast Asia, a place hoard of Ottoman Turkish manuscripts. This initiation of acquiring a certain number of Ottoman manuscripts by Sayyid Muhammad Naquib al-Attas which seems to have been purchased in the late decades of the twentieth century is no doubt an opening towards the path to the study of the Ottoman civilizational and intellectual eco-system among the Malay scholars and students of the Ottoman studies (Turcologists).

Published: December 2023

The development of zeolitic adsorbents is an essential subject of interest in the realm of green chemistry, especially in the aspect of gas adsorption. The intrinsic molecular sieving capacity of zeolites allows them to be widely adopted as effective gas adsorbents. As a layer-by-layer deposition technology, three-dimensional (3D) printing can achieve more complex zeolitic gas adsorbent structures than conventional manufacturing methods by offering flexible freeform construction and controllable 3D structural design. This review article focuses on the recent development of 3D-printed zeolitic gas adsorbents, which integrate advanced zeolitic structures and emerging additive manufacturing technologies for gas absorption. A description of zeolites and their conventional fabrication methods is given for a basic understanding of zeolitic gas adsorbents. 3D printing technologies are also introduced and discussed for the fabrication of zeolitic adsorbents such as monoliths. Next, the recent progress in the fabrication of zeolitic gas adsorbents using 3D printing is illustrated and summarized, which boosts the application of 3D-printed zeolite absorbents in different fields of gas adsorption. Conclusions are given with an outlook on opportunities ahead for future research. It is expected that the development of advanced zeolitic materials and structures for gas adsorption purposes will be significantly accelerated through 3D printing technologies.

The problem of determining the fire and strike capabilities of army groups in combating (fighting) the enemy's armored objects is formulated, which generally consists in lack of standardized approaches in the military management units and established form of the report. The need for program implementation of a single methodology in a complex of mathematical models and information-calculation tasks is emphasized. A detailed analysis of previous methods was carried out. The main shortcomings of most methods of the Soviet period consist of the lack of combat efficiency coefficients of modern anti-tank weapons and the impossibility of taking into account the presence of various types of enemy tanks and armored fighting vehicles on the battlefield. The main shortcomings of most of the methods developed in the Armed Forces of Ukraine are the replacement of combat effectiveness coefficients of anti-tank weapons with the coefficients of combat potential, separate, fundamentally different approaches to determining the capabilities of artillery anti-tank weapons and the capabilities of anti-tank weapons of tank and mechanized units, inflated, unreliable values of the capabilities of artillery anti-tank weapons etc. A general scheme of calculations for determining the fire and strike capabilities of army groups in fighting enemy armored objects is provided with a detailed description for each stage. The essence of the calculations is to estimate the armored group of the enemy through the number of conventional tanks, to evaluate the fire capabilities of anti-tank weapons to damage enemy armored targets in conventional tanks, to determine the composition of the enemy group, the blow of which can be repelled by the fire of anti-tank weapons in the defense or defeated in the offensive.
Keywords: fire and strike capabilities, operational-tactical calculations, fighting enemy armored objects, operation of army groups (forces), fire damage, anti-tank weapon.

The results of studying agrometeorological conditions and the possibility of using satellite data to evaluate and predict the yield of grain and leguminous crops in the subjects of the eastern part of the Siberian Federal District are presented. Reasonability of using satellite information in combination with surface data for the development of a method for forecasting the yield in the Krasnoyarsk krai, where a high correlation between the yield and the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) was found, is shown. In the Republics of Khakassia, Tyva and the Irkutsk oblast, no significant correlations between the NDVI and the yield was detected. The importance of improving agricultural standards and the role of meteorological factors differently contributing to an increase in the yield in the regions during 2001-2020 are shown. Using the correlation and regression analysis, the meteorological factors that have the greatest impact on the yield were investigated and selected. Regression models developed on the basis of the joint use of satellite and ground-based data are presented to predict the average yield of grain crops and spring wheat in the Krasnoyarsk krai, and those based on surface data are presented to predict the yield of grain crops in the republics of Khakassia, Tyva and the Irkutsk oblast. Keywords: agrometeorological conditions, grain crops, yield, satellite data, forecast

Legal Aspects of the Development of Artificial Intelligence Systems
Authors:   HSE University, Vinogradov Vadim A.
Published: December 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) as a part of the big process of digitalisation, is gradually displacing humans from different spheres of life to partially take its place in the future. In some cases, AI-controlled systems can make decisions in such a way that it is difficult or almost impossible to distinguish the results of their actions from similar human actions. AI decisions can thus have a significant impact on the well-being and status of an individual and have legally significant consequences. This article examines the main ethical and legal issues, potential risks associated with the development of AI-controlled systems and analyses various legal concepts that can serve as a guideline for developing an optimal legal regulation model. The author concludes that visibility should be the key element in the interaction between AI-controlled systems and humans.
Extra-Legal Factors: What They Are and Why We Need to Know About Them
Authors:   Dostoevsky Omsk State University, Golushkov Denis I.
Published: December 2023

Extra-legal factors are studied by the sociology of law, which has already accumulated sufficient information on how these factors operate. At the same time, these variables also have a significant impact on legal practice. In the field of jurisprudence, however, they remain no more than a specific feature of certain legal doctrines. The article describes extra-legal factors as they are currently studied by sociology and legal science, also giving the author’s definition of this phenomenon. In particular, it is proposed that extra-legal factors should include not only those factors that should not influence, but influence legal practice, but also those factors about the influence of which the legislator or legal doctrine mentions, but these factors are not legal norms (for example, “good faith”). The study of extra-legal factors will allow to apply the obtained knowledge in the following areas: automation of legal decision-making; reduction of “noise” in legal decision-making; evaluation of the efficiency of the judge’s activity; measurement of legal consciousness of subjects of legal relations.
Scope of Application of the Rules on Representation: Reality and Prospects
Authors:   HSE University, Karimov Danil A.
Published: December 2023

Russian law has a tradition of narrow view of the institute of representation – in particular, Article 182(1) of the Civil Code proceeds from its understanding only as the entering into transactions by one person on behalf of another. This is largely a reason for the brevity of the rules on representation in the Russian legislation. At the same time, paradoxically, the rules on representation are widely applied by analogy in various relations and institutions. This article considers the general features of relations to which the rules on representation are applied by analogy using examples from private and public law. In addition, it considers examples from public law, where the rules on representation are not yet applied, but potentially can be. Based on the study of such examples the conclusion is made that the reasons for the expansion of the rules on representation lie in the structural and economic features of these relations, which are similar in the relations of representation.

This study assesses the reduction of 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of household greywater using palm kernel activated carbon (PKAC) and tropical almond activated carbon (TAAC) produced from locally available materials in a kiln at 800oC and activated using steam at a flowrate of 120 mL hr-1. Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area determination revealed that PKAC had a larger surface area than TAAC. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) imagery of the carbons also revealed amorphous and large internal shapes for TAAC while crystalline and closed packed shapes for PKAC. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that the major component present in the PKAC and TAAC was carbon and other allotropes of carbon. Batch results showed that reduction of BOD5 and COD was affected by particle size. The maximum percentage reduction of BOD5 and COD by PKAC was 76% and 65% respectively while reduction by TAAC was 62% and 52% respectively. The adsorption process was well described by the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The studies showed that PKAC is a better adsorbent for reducing BOD5 and COD from domestic greywater as compared with TAAC. The PKAC is a potential low-cost adsorbent for BOD5 and COD removal from domestic greywater.
,,gewisse Völker in der grossen Tartarey“: Baschkiren in der ersten großen deutschsprachigen Enzyklopädie (erste Hälfte 18. Jahrhundert)1
Authors: Cwiklinski Sebastian
Published: December 2023

Die Frühaufklärung in der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts ist auch durch das Aufkommen einer neuen Art von Enzyklopädien gekennzeichnet, die im Unterschied zu früheren Nachschlagewerken nicht mehr spezialisiertes, auf ein Fach begrenztes, sondern allgemeines
Wissen darbieten wollten und sich auch nicht mehr an ein Fachpublikum, sondern an eine allgemeine Öffentlichkeit richteten. Als wichtigstes Beispiel für diese neue Art von Publikationen ist das von dem Leipziger Verleger Johann Heinrich Zedler (1706–1751) begründete und
von 1732 bis 1754 in 64 Bänden herausgegebene Grosse vollständige Lexicon aller Wissenschafften und Künste2 zu nennen, das seinen Anspruch, das Wissen seiner Zeit zusammenzufassen, auch explizit zum Ausdruck brachte: Der von Zedler beauftragte Hallenser Historiker
Johann Peter von Ludewig hatte bereits ein Jahr vor Erscheinen des ersten Bandes der Enzyklopädie 1731 in einem Artikel angekündigt, das geplante Nachschlagewerk werde 22 herkömmliche, auf einzelne Wissensgebiete beschränkte Enzyklopädien vereinigen; auf dem Titelblatt
des ersten Bandes werden dann insgesamt 33 Wissensbereiche genannt, die das Werk abdecken solle.3 Der neuen Ausrichtung des Zedlers entsprechend sollte das Werk aber sowohl mit den angebotenen Themen als auch in Bezug auf das angedachte Lesepublikum über rein akademische Zirkel
hinausgehen: ,,Der Leser findet alhier/nach alphabetischer Ordnung/nicht allein was zur theologie; iurisprudenz; medicin; philosophie; historie; mathesi u. a. Dingen/welche auf hohen Schulen getrieben werden/gehörig: sondern auch viele Hof-Cantzeley-Jagd-Forst-Kriegs-
und Friedens-Sachen; wie nicht minder dasjenige/was die Künsteler und Handwercker, auch Hauswirthe und Kaufleute im Gebrauch/woran insgemein auf hohen Schulen nicht gedacht zu werden pfleget.“4
