A terceira linguagem no cross-cultural marketing
Authors: Martins Renato Rodrigues
Published: September 2021

Aborda a pesquisa de pós-doutoramento do autor, que propõe a terceira linguagem apoiada nas dimensões culturais de Hofstede, uma abordagem da comunicação mercadológica transcultural no século XXI. Nos mercados internacionais a influência cultural determina a gestão estratégica da comunicação persuasiva. As organizações multinacionais brasileiras que atuam nos mercados externos enfrentam a competição que foca suas ações comunicacionais na produção de imagem e em produtos de valor. A terceira linguagem, ao incorporar a comunicação transcultural, pode ser utilizada como um diferencial competitivo das organizações brasileiras internacionais.

 

Addresses the author's post-doctoral research, which proposes the third language supported by Hofstede's cultural dimensions, an approach to cross-cultural marketing communication in the 21st century. In international markets, cultural influence determines the strategic management of persuasive communication. Brazilian multinational organizations that operate in foreign markets face competition that focuses their communication actions on image production and value products. The third language, by incorporating cross-cultural communication, can be used as a competitive differential of Brazilian international organizations.

Authors: Girsang Elisabet
Published: September 2021

This study aims to determine the effect of motivation and work discipline on employee achievement at Kantor Camat Munte Kabupaten Karo. The number of samples in this study were 22 respondents who were Civil Servants at the Office of the Sub-District Head of Munte Karo Regency. Library research and field research were used in this research. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing was performed using ttest, Ftest and determination coefficient test. The results of the study obtained multiple regression equations Y=-0,20+1,990X₁-0,688X₂, which explains that the regression coefficients possessed by the variables of motivation and work discipline give a positive direction to the achievement of the employees of the Karo District Head Office. Based on hypothesis testing, it is found that motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee achievement, with a tcount (7,040)> ttable value (2.085), or a sig value (0.000) < alpha (0.05). Work discipline has a positive and significant effect on employee achievement, with a tcount (-2,55) by the value of Fcount (39,026) > Ftable (3.49) and a significance of 0.000 <α=0.05. The coefficient of determination test results also showed that 80,4% of employee achievement variables could be explained by the variables of motivation and work discipline. While the remaining 19,6% is explained by other variables not examined in this study

Klanken van verval. Cultuurkritiek in het Nederlandstalige debat over de toekomst van de klassieke muziek, ca. 1890-1930
Authors: Meens Floris
Published: September 2021

Deze bijdrage analyseert het debat dat in Nederlandse kranten tussen
1890 en 1930 werd gevoerd over de toekomst van de klassieke muziek. De
deelnemers trachtten het domein van de klassieke muziek te beschermen
tegen bedreigingen die zij waarnamen en die zij interpreteerden als
symptomen van het algehele verval der cultuur. Zij vergeleken stijlen en
genres, periodes, plaatsen en technieken in een vertoog dat bol stond van
de categorisering, en dat semantisch was ontleend aan de geneeskunde
en de zich toen in rap tempo ontwikkelende psychologie, de economische
wetenschap, de krijgskunst, en het door henzelf verfoeide kapitalisme en
de sport. Zij stelden de Europeanen voor als overspannen, overprikkeld
en vermoeid, als wezens van wie de ziel van binnenuit en van buitenaf
werd bedreigd.
Een kapotte caravan naast de spoorbaan. Cultuurkritiek in hedendaagse Nederlandse poëzie
Authors: Gerbrandy Piet
Published: September 2021

Waarom zouden we niet alleen naar politici, columnisten en ecologen
moeten luisteren, maar ook naar dichters? Al tijdens de Oudheid was er de
erkenning dat zij bijzondere wijsheden uitdragen. Ook recentelijk geven
dichters commentaar vanaf de zijlijn, dat van een andere orde lijkt dan
dat van academici en wijsgeren. Door een analyse van het werk van H.H.
ter Balkt, H.C. ten Berge, Maarten van der Graaff, Hannah van Binsbergen
en Simone Atangana Bekono verheldert deze bijdrage dat de Nederlandse
dichtkunst een ontwikkeling doormaakte van een alom gerespecteerde
kunstvorm van strenge profeten, tot een complex discours in de marge dat
wordt gecreëerd door jonge dichters die hun positie in de wereld bepalen,
en die dankzij hun kritiek oproepen tot activisme.
Al spelenderwijze . Plezier als kritisch vertoog over vrouwelijkheid en leeftijd bij de Red Hat Society
Authors: van Bohemen Samira
Published: September 2021

Deze bijdrage onderzoekt de handelingen van de leden van de Red Hat
Society, het internationale vrijetijdsnetwerk van vrouwen van vijftig jaar
en ouder als een vorm van cultuurkritiek. Tijdens evenementen tonen Red
Hatters zich met opvallende rode hoeden op paarse kleding, waarmee ze
een opmerkelijke brug slaan tussen plezier en cultuurkritiek. Hoewel veel
leden benadrukken dat de Red Hat Society geen doelstelling heeft, behalve
het maken van plezier, verheldert dit onderzoek dat deze vrouwen juist
door plezier te maken al spelenderwijze discoursen over vrouwelijkheid
en leeftijd bevragen. De crux in de betekenis van het serieuze karakter
van de Red Hat Society zit in de spelcontext; spel is inherent ambigu en
laveert altijd tussen ernst en frivoliteit, tussen plezier en politiek.

A Linguist As International Entrepreneur

M.J. de Goeje and the Annals of al-Tabari (1872-1901)

Modern-day scientists and humanities scholars are often expected to possess personality traits, skills, and virtues typically associated with entrepreneurs. These include (but are not limited to) a willingness to take risks, the ability to lead a diverse team of collaborators, and a flexible mindset. The roots of the ideal of the entrepreneurial scholar, however, are older. In this article, I investigate the realization of Michael Jan de Goeje’s al-Tabari edition in the last decades of the nineteenth century. To finance this ambitious endeavour and to successfully gather and manage a team of scholarly and non-scholarly collaborators, De Goeje needed to possess all the traits, skills, and virtues mentioned above. This case study demonstrates how an entrepreneurial spirit could be an asset for ambitious nineteenth-century scholars. At the same time, it illustrates one of the ways in which seemingly modern ideals of scholarship build on existing ones.
Huiselijke relieken
Authors: Ponsen Arti
Published: September 2021

On January 12, 1807 part of Leiden’s inner city was devastated by the explosion of an inland boat loaded with gunpowder. About 160 people – mostly women and children – were killed, some 2000 injured. Survivors kept mementoes of their loved ones and of the event itself. Over time, many of these ‘secular relics’ were acquired by museums, others are still with the heirs of their original owners. The article discusses how the Dutch word ‘relic’ lost its religious connotation and how the private provenance of objects relating to the gunpowder disaster differs from the public veneration for national relics of Dutch history and art. The term ‘homely relics’ is proposed as a new subcategory of the ‘secular relics’ defined by Wim Vroom in 1997

Thunderstorms

A disaster, a divine punishment, or a sublime spectacle?

Thunderstorms often had disastrous consequences in former times, especially when gun powder magazines were struck. After the invention and implementation of Franklin’s lightning rod, the interpretation of these disasters as divine punishments seemed less obvious. Technology and science changed relations between the concepts of God, nature, and man. Very generally speaking, a religion of fear gave way to a religion of love. Nature was considered less a menace than a friend, a shift subtly foreshadowing the Romantic period. Put in more safe life conditions, man tended to hold more optimistic views of himself and dared to play artistically even with dangerous, sublime subjects such as thunderstorms.
Zingen over branden, scheepsrampen en grote buitenlandse catastrofes, 1755-1918

Singing about fires, ship wrecks and major international catastrophes between 1755 and 1918

Local, national and international solidarity

This article focuses on Dutch songs about three different kind of disasters in the period 1755-1918: fires (which occurred in Dutch villages and cities), ship wrecks (both in the Netherlands and abroad) and other foreign catastrophes, such as the earthquake on Martinique (1839) or the floods in Mexico (1888). This popular genre is an important source to understand how people coped with disasters in the past. They were not only used to spread the news, but also to make sense of the events by offering moral and religious lessons. This article investigates how these different types of disaster songs could shape a shared sense of community on the local, national and international level. While songs about fires were often directed at the local community, ballads about shipwrecks appealed to the imagined Dutch community. Songs about big disasters in foreign places, sometimes aimed at raising international solidarity, but they were more often used to strengthen communal feelings at the national level.

Looking at the monarch

Nationalism and the representation of Orange monarchs after disasters in the 19th century

The 19th century Dutch monarchs from the House of Orange often played a proactive role in the aftermath of major catastrophes, such as storm surges, river floods and destructive explosions. Authors repeatedly praised their commitment afterwards and characterised them as symbols of the nation. In this article I demonstrate that the discourse through which monarchs were celebrated should quintessentially be understood as manifestations of nationalism, that is: these discourses cultivated a national sense of unity and thus popularised a the notion of the Netherlands as a national community. As it turns out, authors commonly cultivated a conservative notion of national community, concentrated around conformist concepts such as unity, hierarchy and moderation.
Malaysian herbs as feeding attractants and enhancers for the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) and the whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)

Published: September 2021

Feeding attractiveness of 21 fresh herbs was examined for the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) and the whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) at different growth stages in tanks. The feeding attractant and enhancement were assessed by behavioural observations of the test animals in response to pelleted feeds incorporated with the herbal extracts in different concentrations. For M. rosenbergii, peppermint (Mentha piperita) and dokudami (Houttuynia cordata) were the most attractive herbs at all stages, and garlic (Allium sativum) strongly attracting to the juveniles but only weekly to the adults, postlarvae and larvae. Peppermint significantly enhanced feeding of M. rosenbergii at all stages except for the larvae. Garlic was a significant feeding enhancer for M. rosenbergii juveniles and postlarvae. The inclusion of the herbal extract at high concentrations had a negative effect on the feeding. As far as L. vannamei is concerned, the red chilli (Capsicum annuum) was the best feeding attractant and ginger (Zingiber officinale) and peppermint were moderate attractants for adults and juveniles. While galangal (Alpinia galangal), ginger and yellow onion (Allium cepa sp.) enhanced feeding in L. vannamei adults, but red chilli, garlic and peppermint did not enhance feeding. Evidently, the strong feeding attractants were not necessarily effective feeding enhancers. The incorporation of several herb extracts at higher concentrations caused a negative effect on the feeding of the test animals. This could be due to the presence of feeding deterrents in the herb such as saponins which are known to lower food palatability in insect, decapod crustaceans and fishes. More long-term work is warranted to determine if inclusion of feeding enhancing herbs in artificial feed promotes growth performance of the shrimp.
Neighborhood built environment impacts park use of diverse, low-income mothers and their children

Published: September 2021

Built environment features, including parks, often exacerbate health disparities. We examined built environment perceptions and park use among a population at high risk for physical health outcomes: racially diverse, low-income mothers across the United States. Perceived safety from crime and living near a park were associated with more frequent park use for mothers and their children, and neighborhood walkability was linked to longer park visits. However, only 40% of mothers lived within a ten-minute walk from a park, and perceptions of walkability and safety from crime were low. To enhance physical activity and health of low-income mothers and their children, investments are needed to close disparities in park access and improve neighborhood safety.
Examining the Validity and Reliability of Measures for Individual-Level Constructs related to Implementation of School-Based Physical Activity Approaches

Published: September 2021

Valid and reliable measures are important to understanding the implementation of physical activity approaches in schools. The study purpose is to examine the psychometric properties of measures of individual-level constructs (knowledge, attitudes, outcome expectations, self-efficacy, innovativeness, and support) in the context of implementing school-based physical activity approaches. We collected data from a sample of elementary school employees (administrators, classroom teachers, physical educators, and support staff) from an urban school district in southeast Texas. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) models were used to examine structural validity. We also examined correlations between constructs to assess discriminant and convergent validity. Last, we used a CFA-based approach to examine point estimates for reliability. The analytic sample consisted of 205 employees. CFA results for each individual measure revealed good-fitting models for most measures (χ2(df)>0.05, RMSEA<0.08, CFI>0.90, TLI>0.90, SRMR≤0.07). A combined model that included all the measures also indicated good fit across indices: χ2(306)=485, p<0.001; RMSEA=0.05, CFI=0.93, TLI=0.92, SRMR=0.07. All correlations between constructs were <0.70, and all but one construct (innovativeness) demonstrated moderate correlations with support for classroom-based physical activity approaches (>0.30). In addition, reliability point estimates were all >0.70. The measures tested in this study were found to have good reliability, as well as good structural, discriminant, and convergent validity. These measures are useful in efforts to better understand how individual-level constructs relate to implementation behaviors for physical activity approaches in schools.
An investigation into the factors affecting precoat performance in woven-fibre microfiltration
Authors:   , Vallabh Shadana
Published: September 2021

Crossflow microfiltration (CFMF) using a fabric support has been successfully used to treat a range of problematic waters. Experimental evidence indicates that the formation of a dynamic membrane or precoat on a woven-fibre microfilter can significantly increase the performance of the filter, that is, the production rate and rejection. The use of precoats in filtration applications is based on the precoat's unique microstructure that is able to trap sub-micron particles while maintaining a permeable filter cake. However, to date the precoating step has been more of an art than a science. Very little knowledge exists on the best type of precoat to use, or the the optimal velocity, pressure and concentration to form a stable precoat. Further, although various models have been proposed for CFMF, their still exists a lack of knowledge of the mechanisms by which precoats improve performance.

Este trabalho teve como tema os caminhos incertos e os entraves na consolidação da identidade do coordenador pedagógico, objetivando identificar os entraves e as incertezas no processo de reconhecimento da identidade do coordenador. As diligências acerca deste tema surgiam ao perceber que a identidade desse profissional é, constantemente, limitada no âmbito escolar. Em muitos casos, percebe-se que o coordenador pedagógico é o centro de críticas no contexto escolar diante do processo atribulados, ou seja, sempre age de forma urgente do que ser/fazer pedagógico que perpassa nas indecisões das suas reais colaborações. Como ponto de reflexão, partimos da conjectura sobre a construção da identidade profissional do coordenador pedagógico. Com este objetivo, o primeiro item analisa os entraves no reconhecimento da identidade profissional. O segundo apresenta a pesquisa sobre os desafios de um profissional em construção. O terceiro apresenta a prática pedagógica na atuação do coordenador.  Para o desenvolvimento deste ensaio optou-se por uma abordagem qualitativa de caráter exploratório, cujo autores referendaram significativamente, e os entraves e incertezas sobre a consolidação da identidade profissional, os desafios e as práticas do coordenador pedagógico.

Published: September 2021

Abstract. A long-term time series of ice sheet surface elevation change (SEC) is important for study of ice sheet variation and its response to climate change. In this study, we used an updated plane-fitting least-squares regression strategy to generate a 30 year surface elevation time series for the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) at monthly temporal resolution and 5 × 5 km grid spatial resolution using ERS‐1, ERS‐2, Envisat, and CryoSat‐2 satellite radar altimeter observations obtained between August 1991 and December 2020. The accuracy and reliability of the time series are effectively guaranteed by application of sophisticated corrections for intermission bias and interpolation based on empirical orthogonal function reconstruction. Validation using both airborne laser altimeter observations and the European Space Agency GrIS Climate Change Initiative (CCI) product indicated that our merged surface elevation time series is reliable. The accuracy and dispersion of errors of SECs of our results were 19.3 % and 8.9 % higher, respectively, than those of CCI SECs, and even 30.9 % and 19.0 % higher, respectively, in periods from 2006–2010 to 2010–2014. Further analysis showed that our merged time series could provide detailed insight into GrIS SEC on multiple temporal (up to 30 years) and spatial scales, thereby providing opportunity to explore potential associations between ice sheet change and climatic forcing. The merged surface elevation time series data are available at http://dx.doi.org/10.11888/Glacio.tpdc.271658 (Zhang et al., 2021).

Published: September 2021

The multifactorial influence of the environment on school-age children determines their physical and psychological state, which directly forms the future personality. Currently, the greatest impact on children is caused by physical inactivity, irrational and unbalanced nutrition. At the same time, the fullness and balance of the diet determines not only the direct impact on the state of homeostasis, but also affects the emotional and psychological state of a person, and, often, provokes the development of depressive states. The presence of deviations in the state of health reduces performance, academic performance and the achievement of certain successes in adolescence and adolescence. The aim of the study was to study the nature of nutrition among high school students and its relationship with academic performance and depression. The study involved 120 students aged 15-17 years, 65 of them girls and 55 boys. A survey of schoolchildren was conducted to assess the nutritional status and the nature of nutrition of the study participants, and the level of depression of schoolchildren was determined using the Hospital Scale of Anxiety and Depression (HADS). According to the results of the study, it was found that the majority of senior schoolchildren try to adhere to a rational diet. However, at the same time, the diet is often monotonous and «fast food» appears in it. The revealed correlation of nutrition factors and the level of anxiety and depression indicates the importance of a proper diet and a variety of diets. The fact of the influence of the presence of breakfast in the diet on fatigue during the day is also noted.

Published: September 2021

Objective: The early diagnosis of candidosis is very important in fungal infections and to reduce mortality rates, short-term and reliable methods are needed. In this study, the appropriateness of MALDI-TOF MS method after lysis filtration was investigated for the faster identification of Candida spp. Method: 100 Candida isolated from positive blood cultures sent to Ege University, School of Medicine, Medical Microbiology laboratory, were studied with Dalmau plaque, MALDI-TOF MS and after lysis filtration methods. The results were compared with those obtained from the classical MALDI-TOF MS method. Results: According to conventional and MALDI-TOF MS identification methods; 37 Candida albicans, 23 Candida parapsilosis, 17 Candida tropicalis, nine Candida glabrata, six Candida kefyr, three Candida guilliermondii, three Candida dubliniensis and three Candida krusei were identified. After lysis filtration method; 26 C. albicans, nine C. parapsilosis, 13 C. tropicalis, nine C. glabrata, two C. kefyr, three C. dubliniensis, two C. krusei. MALDI-TOF MS method and Dalmau plaque and after lysis filtration method were found to be compatible in 64 strains. Incompatibility was not due to incorrect identification, but spectrum deficiency. Conclusion: The strains, which are not identified as “spectrum deficiency” consist of the species in the database. Sixty-four Candida species were found to be 100% compatible with the standard methods and this method was found to be advantageous for at least 48 hours compared to MALDI-TOF MS method which required subculture and for at least 72 hours compared to Dalmau plaque method.

Published: September 2021

Objective: Each hour of delay in antibiotics administration increases mortality in sepsis. The aim of this study was to decrease the bacteria identification time to initiate appropriate antibiotic treatment as early as possible. Method: Tests were applied to 39 Gram negative bacteria isolated from blood cultures sent to our laboratory from intensive care units between November 2015- February 2016. The results of bacterial identification tested on both microarray and LFM methods were compared. Results: In the comparison of MALDI-TOF MS after sub-culture, MALDI-TOF after lysis centrifugation and microarray methods, sensitivity was determined as 82% (32/39) in LFM and as 87.1% (34/39) in the microarray method. All three methods had a concordance of 76.9% (30/39). Most common species identified in this study were Acinetobacter spp., Klebsiella spp. and Escherichia spp., and their Cohen’s Kappa coefficients for LFM and post-subculture MALDI were calculated as 0.715, 0.843, and 0.938, respectively. In addition, their BC-GN microarray and post-subculture MALDI concordance rates calculated with Cohen’s Kappa were 0.935, 0.753 and 0.938, respectively. Both methods showed good correlations with the post-culture MALDI method. Conclusion: Lysis centrifugation and microarray platforms decrease the identification time in blood culture processing successfully. Results of this study suggest that for the laboratories with MALDI-TOF mass spectrophotometer, the lysis filtration method is a fast and cost-effective method that may be suitable for routine procedures.
COVID-19 Sewage Surveillance: Evaluation of Recovery Methods of SARS-CoV-2 from Wastewater
Authors: Kıratlı Yılmazçoban Nursel
Published: September 2021

Wastewater Based Epidemiology (WBE) is a successful environmental surveillance tool, which serves as a valuable information pool containing enormous data on public health. Efforts are being made globally to overcome the unprecedented worldwide spread of SARS-CoV-2 and its negative consequences on human health and the ecosystem. In this review, we present the difficulties encountered in detecting SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater and the comparison of methods used for virus concentration and measurement. A WBE framework adapted for SARS-CoV-2 is a key step towards the development of an early warning system. Monitoring virus spread through wastewater surveillance will reduce limitations of clinical tests. For effective management of virus control in asymptomatic cases, it should be considered that the virus has a long incubation period and continues to be transmitted during that period. Using optimized diagnostic protocols, developing disinfection strategies, and obtaining further scientific evidence on potential problems associated with waste water reuse will help improve the detection and control of future viral disease outbreaks

Authors: Gürbüz Melahat , Türkekul Şen Emek , Demir Cengiz , Esen Berrin
Published: September 2021

Objective: Broad-spectrum antibiotics used in empirical treatment lead to an increase in multidrug-resistant bacteria in intensive care units and hospital wards. Cumulative antibiotic susceptibility reports can guide the correct selection of empirical therapy and development of antibiotic resistance policies. In this study, we aimed to prepare a one-year inpatient cumulative antibiotic susceptibility report for our hospital. Method: Identification of bacteria and antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed with the automated VITEK 2 (bioMérieux, France) system and antibiogram results were evaluated according to the recommendations of The European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST, 2021). The cumulative antibiotic susceptibility report has been prepared according to the criteria in the Analysis and Presentation of Cumulative Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test Data (CLSI 2014, M39-A4). Results: In this study, 1490 isolates were analysed. Vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid, and tigecycline were effective against gram positive agents. While tigecycline and cefuroxime were effective against enteric Escherichia coli isolates, nitrofurantoin and meropenem can be used in empirical treatment in urinary enterics. It has been observed that the most effective antibiotics against Proteus mirabilis were meropenem and amikacin. It was found that among the enteric and urinary enteric bacteria, there was no antibiotic option to be preferred in empirical treatment against Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. Tigecycline was the most effective antibiotic against Acinetobacter baumannii isolates, whereas tobramycin was the most effective antibiotic against Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Conclusion: Empirical treatment options for gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria are limited, and we believe that close monitoring of cumulative antibiotic reports will improve and reduce antibiotic resistance rates.
Hope in the Treatment of Candida Vaginitis: Ibrexafungerp
Authors: Karakoyun Ayşe Sultan
Published: September 2021

Candida vaginitis (CV) is a neglected but growing public health problem. It is estimated that three out of four women have had at least one CV attack. The diagnosis and treatment of CV is often inadequate due to the tendency of women to self-diagnose and use over-the-counter drugs when they have vaginal or vulvar complaints, and clinicians plan treatment only according to clinical findings. There are limitations regarding the safety and efficacy of oral azoles, which are primarily preferred for the treatment of vaginitis, and these drugs have not revealed the desired levels of clinical or mycological cure. Also, there are a few options for current drugs used for treatment are not numerous the development of new antifungal drugs is thus urgently needed. Ibrexafungerp (IBX) is a semisynthetic triterpenoid glucan synthase inhibitor derived from enfumafungin. IBX has been shown to be a promising oral antifungal in the treatment of acute CV, and its use was approved on June 1, 2021. IBX is remarkable by it’s high oral bioavailability, low risk of side effects, few drug-drug interactions, good tissue penetration, increased activity at low pH in the vagina, and efficacy with regard to multi-drug-resistant fungi. In this review, in vitro and in vivo data on IBX were evaluated and compiled in light of current knowledge.

Objective: In recent years, increasing carbapenem resistance of Enterobacterales bacteria limits treatment options, considerably. The main mechanism of this resistance is the production of carbapenemase enzymes. The aim of this study is to determine carbapenemase gene types in Enterobacterales isolates from our hospitalized patients and assess the clonal associations of the isolates with KPC gene. Method: A total of 48 clinical Enterobacterales isolates resistant to at least one carbapeneme and received between January 2019 and March 2019 were included in the study. Sample types were consisted of urine, blood, tracheal aspirate, wound and sputum. Of these isolates, three were Escherichia coli while 45 were Klebsiella pneumoniae. Types of carbapenemases were investigated by polymerase chain reaction, using specific primers for VIM, IMP, NDM, KPC and OXA-48 genes. PFGE was performed to determine the clonal associations between blaKPC positive K. pnemoniae isolates. Results: According to the results, blaOXA-48 (n=2) and blaKPC (n=1) were found to be present among E. coli isolates. Regarding 45 K. pneumoniae isolates; only blaOXA-48 and only blaNDM were present in 30 and two isolates, respectively. Seven K. pneumoniae isolates were found positive for both blaOXA-48 and blaNDM. Remaining K. pneumoniae isolates (n=6) harboured only blaKPC. None of the isolates were positive for blaIMP and blaVIM. PFGE analysis showed four isolates had the same pulsotype (A), while two had different pulsotypes (B-C). Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first report of KPC gene isolated in Dokuz Eylul University Hospital.

In der Gestalt des Zwerges verbinden sich märchenhafte, mythologische und psychologische Züge. Anhand von Richard Wagners Ring des Nibelungen und Alexander Zemlinskys Der Zwerg, wird der Märchenfigur des Zwerges in seinen unterschiedlichen Bedeutungszusammenhängen nachgegangen. Deutlich gemacht wird vor allem der Aspekt der persönlichen Erfahrung, die das Spiel und die Personengestaltung mitbestimmte.

Köthen oder Leipzig?
Authors: Geck Martin
Published: September 2021

Bisher ging man davon aus, Bach habe seine bedeutendsten Orchesterwerke in der Köthener Zeit verfaßt, obschon außer den Brandenburgischen Konzerten kein weiteres in Köthener Handschriften vorliegt. Die pauschale Zuweisung der nur in den Leipziger Quellen überlieferten Orchesterwerke durch Christoph Wolff auf die Zeit des Leipziger  (1729-41) erscheint hingegen wenig sinnvoll, da der Quellenbefund allein keine präzise Datierung zuläßt. An BWV 1041, 1042, 1066, 1067, 1068 und 1069 wird deutlich, daß Orchesterwerke, deren Entstehung in Köthen nicht explizit zu belegen ist, dennoch nicht zwingend auf die Leipziger Zeit verweisen.

Annäherung und Widerspruch
Authors: Schinköth Thomas
Published: September 2021

Für die kompositorische Entwicklung Sigfrid Karg-Elerts (1877-1933) waren Werkkriterien Edvard Griegs, neben einer Fülle anderer Einflüsse, von stilprägender Relevanz. Griegs ebenso wie Karg-Elerts besten Kompositionen ist dabei der sparsame Umgang mit motivischen Impulsen gemeinsam: Kennzeichnend für die einsätzigen Arbeiten für Tasteninstrumente beider Komponisten ist der oftmals nur aus einigen Tönen oder einer einzigen charakteristischen rhythmischen Formulierung bestehende musikalische Vorrat. Aber nicht nur in musikalisch-ästhetischer Hinsicht hat sich Karg-Elert Grieg verbunden gefühlt - auch psychisch waren beide ähnlich veranlagt: Sowohl Griegs als auch Karg-Elerts Leben war von Spannungen und Konflikten geprägt, die auf eine sehr früh ausgeprägte Sensibilität zurückgehen.

Alfredo Casella und Gustav Mahler
Authors: Kämper Dietrich
Published: September 2021

Der Wunsch sich größeren musikalischen Formen zuzuwenden, führte Casella dazu, sich mit der sinfonischen Musik Mahlers zu befassen. Casellas intensives Studium macht sich als erstes in seiner zweiten Sinfonie, c-moll 1908/09, bemerkbar. In den späteren Jahren unternimmt Casella den Versuch, Mahlers sinfonisches Werk auch in Frankreich publik zu machen. Die Wechselbeziehung beider Musiker sind gleichermaßen bedeutsam für die Mahler-Rezeption wie auch für die Entwicklung des zwei Jahrzehnte jüngeren italienischen Komponisten. (Autor)
Richard Strauss' Skizzen zu den „Metamorphosen“ und ihre Beziehung zu „Trauer um München“
Authors: Lodes Birgit

Die Untersuchung aller Skizzen zu den  von Richard Strauss (o. op. 142) kann Eigenheiten des Strauss'schen Kompositionsprozeß aufdecken, die für das Verständnis des fertigen Werkes eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Unter anderem wird die Themengenese unter dem Aspekt der Ausarbeitung eines primären kurzen Gedankens, der Substanzgemeinschaft und der Zusammenstellung einzelner Themenbausteine (anstelle von herkömmlicher thematisch-motivischer Arbeit) besprochen. Die bekannte Skizze  stellt, entgegen der bisherigen Meinung, kein frühes Stadium eines Themas der  dar. (Lodes, Birgit)
Konstellation von Musik und Aufklärung am Gothaer Hof
Authors: Klante Wolfram
Published: September 2021

Der behandelte Zeitraum ist durch den Beginn der 1753 von Melchior Grimm eröffneten  und den Rücktritt Georg Bendas vom Hofkapellmeisteramt 1778 eingegrenzt. Günstige Voraussetzungen für eine neue Epoche des Musiktheaters schufen die Besetzung der Hofkapelle, der italienische Kompositionsstil, das rationalistische Gedankengut Frankreichs und eine der weltlichen Kunst aufgeschlossene, von der Lektüre Leibnizens und Christian Wolffs geprägte Herzogin. Zwei markante Beispiele werden vorgestellt: das den tragischen Konflikt zwischen individuellem Schicksal und Staatsaktion gestaltende Duodram  von Brandes/Benda und Gotter/Bendas besonders dem "dritten Stand" und der gesellschaftskritischen wie musikästhetischen Denkweise Rousseaus zugewandtes Singspiel .

Bachs Toccata und Fuge d-moll für Orgel BWV 565 – ein Cembalowerk?
Authors: Billeter Bernhard
Published: September 2021

Die Autorschaft Johann Sebastian Bachs an diesem berühmten Werk ist u. a. von Peter Williams und neuerdings von Rolf Dietrich Claus in Frage gestellt worden. Den Argumenten wird eine neue Hypothese gegenübergestellt, nämlich daß es sich ursprünglich um eine Toccata für Cembalo handeln könnte, die später von einem Schüler Bachs für Orgel bearbeitet wurde.
Strukturen der Katastrophe
Authors: Oechsle Siegfried
Published: September 2021

Die Finalwirkung im Schlußsatz von Gustav Mahlers 6.  resultiert aus dem komplexen Zusammenwirken unterschiedlicher Schlußmechanismen. Die Katastrophe des Satzes ist präzise kalkuliert, der negative Ausgang gelingt als strenger Sonatensatz. Die Idee der Universalität, die den ästhetischen Kern des Symphonischen im 19. Jahrhundert bildet, wird von Mahler in äußerster Radikalität beansprucht: Die Symphonie meistert souverän ihr eigenes Ende.

Der Aufsatz befaßt sich unter dem Aspekt der Rezeptionsgeschichte mit der letzten Opera seria Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts, . Vor allem die mechanischen Musikinstrumente, die zwischen 1750 und 1865 weit verbreitet waren, galten als Indikatoren für das Interesse des Publikums. Insbesondere der Marsch und die beiden Arien der Vitellia wurden von fast jedem mechanischen Instrument gespielt.
Jacques Samuel Handschin - Igor' Stravinskij
Authors: Knjazeva Janna
Published: September 2021

Der bislang bekannte Briefwechsel zwischen Igor Stravinsky und Jacques Handschin besteht aus neun Briefen Handschins an Stravinsky aus den Jahren 1931-33. Ein weiterer Brief Stravinskys an Handschin vom Juli 1920 konnte nun entdeckt werden. Das Hauptthema dieses Briefes ist Stravinskys Mutter Anna: Stravinsky bittet Handschin, ihm zu helfen, Kontakt mit ihr aufzunehmen. Im Postskriptum schreibt der Komponist über seine Ablehnung von Orgel und Orgelmusik. Der Brief erlaubt es, den Prozess des künstlerischen Schaffens Stravinskys besser zu verstehen und wirft ein neues Licht auf die Kontakte Handschins zur russischen Kultur nach seiner Emigration.
"To achieve perfect clarity of expression, that is my aim“
Authors: Rowold Helge
Published: September 2021

A characteristic attribute of the semantics which underly Benjamin Britten's oeuvre is the deliberate recourse to musical semantems of Renaissance and Baroque. In the "War Requiem", melodic texture is subject to constructive principles inspired by (1) Alban Berg's technique to handle symmetrical interval cycles as it can be found in Berg's opera "Lulu", and (2) the contrapuntal rules of western european modality and solmization controlling ambitus and diastematics of melodic progressions. The a cappella "Requiescant in pace" concluding the work is shown to be a locrian organum strucuture, probably representing Britten's hope for the pacifying power of humanistic tradition.
Ton und Geräusch bei Webern
Authors: Busch Regina
Published: September 2021

Ton und Geräusch bilden ein dialektisches Verhältnis. Auch wenn sich im Werk Anton Weberns die Tendenz erkennen lassen sollte, dass im Zuge der Entwicklung der Zwölftontechnik das Geräusch zu Gunsten des Tones zurückgedrängt wurde, hat doch das Geräusch in Weberns Komponieren deutliche Spuren hinterlassen.

Pierre Boulez' "Sonatine für Flöte und Klavier" und ihre neu aufgetauchte Frühfassung
Authors: Gärtner Susanne
Published: September 2021

Die Sonatine für Flöte und Klavier (1946) gehört zu den frühesten veröffentlichten Kompositionen von Pierre Boulez. Sie dokumentiert das Bestreben des Zwanzigjährigen, verschiedene Kompositionsverfahren zu einer neuartigen Musiksprache zu verbinden. Beschreibungen des Werks bestaunen den zukunftsweisenden, an Anton Webern orientierten Umgang mit der Zwölftontechnik. Nun sind Dokumente aufgetaucht, die belegen, dass vor der Druckfassung 1949 eine deutliche Überarbeitung stattfand. Wie die Frühfassung zeigt, hielt die Prägung des jungen Boulez durch seinen Lehrer Olivier Messiaen länger an und war stärker wirksam, als man es bisher annahm.
