The effect of small additions of cerium-group rare-earth metals such as samarium (Sm), neodymium (Nd) and lanthanum (La) on the properties of a light high-strength structural magnesium IMV7-1 type alloy of the Mg – Y – Gd – Zr system, where yttrium (Y) and gadolinium (Gd) are yttrium-group rare earth metals, has been studied. It is established that the presence of small quantities of samarium in the IMV7-1 alloy contributes to an increase in its strength properties upon heat treatment (aging) and makes it possible to reduce the time to reach the maximum strengthening. In the case where two other cerium-group rare earth metals, neodymium and lanthanum, are present in the IMV7-1 type alloy, the strengthening upon heat treatment (aging) is also observed, but to a much lesser extent. It has also been established that, as the contents of the main alloying elements (yttrium and gadolinium) are simultaneously increased and samarium is added, the maximum strengthening of the alloys under study gradually increases, and the time to its achievement decreases. The fact that the alloying with samarium results in substantially higher strengthening of the IMV7-1 type alloy than that provided by neodymium and lanthanum is explained by a much higher solubility of samarium compared to these of neodymium and lanthanum in solid magnesium.

Phytochemical screening of the extracts has shown the presence of steroids, flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, tannins, phenolic compounds, fixed oils, and fats in Jurinea dolomiaea root extracts. The presence of lupeol has been reported previously by us using high-performance thin-layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. Present research studies encompasses identification of chemical constituents in Jurinea dolomiaea roots of methanol extracts by hyphenated technique such as gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (MS) which when coupled gives a clear insight of constituents. The components were identified by matching mass spectra with MS libraries. There were 5 different compounds analyzed from Jurinea dolomiaea roots. The identified components are (2,4-ditert-butylphenyl)-5-hydroxypentanoate, 2‑ethylhexylheptadecyl sulphite, 6-methyltridecane, (9E, 12E)-9,12-Octadecadienoyl chloride, Linoleic acid chloride, linoleoyl chloride, Lup-20 (29)-en-3-ol Lup‑20(29)‑en‑3β‑ol Lup‑20(29)‑en‑3α‑ol Lupeol, (3α)‑isomer Lupeol, (3β,18β,19β)‑isomer, in Jurinea dolomiaea root extracts.

Authors:   Institute for Flow Physics and Control Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering University of Notre Dame, LEONOV S. B.
Published: November 2022

Two types of supersonic combustion instabilities identi¦ed in a M = 2 reacting §ow at direct injection of gaseous hydrocarbon fuel and Quasi-DC plasma assistance are considered: a dynamic (global) instability triggered by a mechanism of §ow combustion plasma coupling and a fast instability of a thermoacoustic nature. The experiments were performed at SBR-50 supersonic combustion facility at variable conditions: pressure P0 = 1 4 bar; temperature T0 = 300 750 K; and fuel mass §ow rate ‘m = 1 8.5 g/s. Diagnostics included pressure measurements, ¦ltered fast camera imaging, schlieren visualization, and spectroscopic observations. The dynamic instability develops with a characteristic time of about 10 ms and is related to the interaction of the combustion-based separation zone with the re§ected shock wave and electric discharge. It is shown that this instability could be e¨ectively controlled by electrical discharge power. The thermoacoustic instability is developed with a characteristic time < 1 ms. The analysis of pressure data reveals a resonant acoustic wave presence in the combustion zone between fuel injection ports and the test section di¨user.

Detonation propulsion, both rocket-type and air-breathing, is currently a topical direction of research worldwide. Attention is mainly paid to various modes of operation of such engines, their stability, and reliability. As for the issues related to the initiation of the detonation process in such engines, they are usually not considered in detail. However, the initial stage of development of the operation process can be accompanied by a signi¦cant increase in the pressure acting on engine structural elements [1]. In the transition from research to prototypes, issues related to the weight of such engines and their thrust-to-weight ratio will come to the fore. To ensure a minimum margin of safety in engine design, it is required to organize mild rather than strong initiation of operation process excluding the possibility of severe explosions of large volumes of fuel mixture inside the engine or in its close vicinity. This work dealt with experimental simulation of ignition, §ame acceleration, and de§agration-to-detonation transition (DDT) in a semicon¦ned layer of explosive mixture in a slot representing the unrolled annular combustor of a rotating detonation engine. The test mixture was represented by nonpremixed ethylene oxygen mixture of overall stoichiometric composition.

Опыт проектирования пульсирующих воздушно-реактивных двигателей (ПуВРД) [1, 2] показывает, что к основным задачам организации пульсирующего детонационного горения в двигателе можно отнести: (1) инициирование детонационного горения; (2) поддержание пульсирующего горения в ПуВРД. Решение данных задач требует детальной информации о процессах, происходящих в ПуВРД, как в теоретическом, так и в экспериментальном аспекте. Физический эксперимент довольно часто дополняется численным, что дает возможность получить необходимую труднодоступную информацию, с одной стороны, и верифицировать численные расчеты — с другой. В данной работе показан опыт исследования процессов детонационного горения в эжекторном ПуВРД при помощи физического и численного эксперимента. Численное моделирование движения воздушных потоков в ПуВРД выполнялось на основании законов сохранения массы, импульса и энергии в интегральной форме. Моделирование горения проводилось на основе однородной модели, отображающей непрерывный спектр режимов горения — от диффузионных пламен до детонации. Моделирование показало наличие в тракте двигателя неустановившегося течения с сильной завихренностью и образованием парных вихрей. После выхода струи из сопла зона горения раздваивается. Взаимодействие реактивной струи с внешним потоком приводит к появлению особых точек поля скоростей. Проведенный частотно-временной анализ экспериментальных данных результатов аэроакустических исследований газоходов показал наличие в двигателе нескольких вихревых структур различного масштаба. Динамика этих структур подтверждает предположение о прецессии вихревого ядра в ПуВРД.

Human is very critical and important asset of any nation. Human security is the prime need. Also, at organizational level, the business success depends on the human efficiency. Hence, strategic management is very important to achieve effective performance. This paper assessed various indicators and attributes of strategic management. However, the limitation of this study was to focus on strategic management used in traffic management used bypublic security sector ofAbu Dhabi. Evaluation involved 29 common attributes of strategic management identified from literature. These were categorized into five indicators aslearning & training; traffic setting; emergency response; road engineering & vehicle safety; and strategiesbeing enforced. Analysis of the data collected through Questionnaire survey with officials involved in traffic management was done with mean score method. Results of the analysis showed that review and develop a driver training program and licensing mechanismis the top ranked attribute in the domain of learning & training. The respondents highlighted effective traffic control in pedestrian and cyclist safety areas and seatbelts as very useful in the indicator traffic setting. Top indicators in the indicator emergency response are development of effective systems for geographical positioning of traffic accidents andspreading a culture of prioritising emergency vehicles in emergency situations. Develop an integrated traffic safety management system (ITSMS) is the most useful attribute related to road engineering & vehicle safety indicator. While in the indicator strategies being enforced, the respondents mentioned that the attribute at top rank is developing smart traffic settings to minimize the accidents.

The construction sector contributes to a country's development by providing real solutions to human needs, improving the gross domestic product (GDP)and providing job opportunities. Besides numerous benefits, the construction industry is a resource-driven sector and faces many challenges. One of the challenges is to complete the construction project on time within the budget that is momentous for the client, consultant, and contractor. However, time and cost overrun are the most common anomalies due to improper management of the constructions. Hence, this article aimed to recognize the most affecting causative factors to delays and cost overrun construction projects. The detailed literature and comprehensively reviewed from 49 research articles of the past three decades found that 'delay in the payment' is the most repeated factor mentioned by 35 researchers in their studies. However, 'poor site management,' labor, material related factors, and 'delay in design development with errors' are the most repeated factors reported by the research for the delay and cost overrun. This paper also suggests the appropriate strategies and techniques minimize the causative factors of time and cost overruns uncovered from the previous literature.

United Nations propounded the key to sustainable development, including the Environmental health and social well-being of society. In the city planning and development, public urban green open spaces provide opportunities for social and physical activities among the communities, which can contribute to mental and physical health in improving the social well-being of the community. Iraq is currently suffering from poor social activities, as many open spaces and parks are neglected and deficient. Therefore, there is a need to enhance residents’ social interaction in public urban green open spaces in order to improve the quality of social fabric in Baghdad City, through the perspective of the sustainable built environment approaches. The aim of this study is to determine the preferred characteristics of pocket parks for enhancing residents' social interaction based on their socio-demographic and investigate the relationship between the availability of quality pocket parks and residents' social interaction in Baghdad City. The study employed by executed the survey to the communities in Karkh district. Respondents (n=306) were selected in a single-random procedure to assess population attitudes towards a pocket park for social and physical activities. The results confirmed that a lack of outdoor daily social interaction in Baghdad City due to the inefficient nearby pocket parks. Thus, there is a need for efficient pocket parks designed to be provided. In this study, the characteristics of efficient pocket park design identified as providing suitable activities and elements, accessibility, well-design, proximity, safety and security, administration and maintenance in the pocket park design. This study contributes to the definitions of pocket parks and nearby open spaces by investigating these spaces' characteristics and benefits towards the social well-being of communities, in achieving the goal of a sustainable community in sustainable city development.

Authors: Kotsis Konstantinos T. , Panagou Dimitris
Published: November 2022

This paper describes an empirical study (n=352) into Greek in-service primary school teachers’ conceptions of concepts of force and weight. A closed multiple-choice questionnaire is given to primary school teachers as a tool to explore conceptions, which has been used in previous research. The study population consisted of teachers at primary schools who work in the Greek education directorate. The research data is related to the teachers’ years of service, from where it is studied whether their teaching experience changes/reduces the alternative conceptions. The research data investigated whether the teachers’ teaching experience alters or reduces alternative conceptions based on their years of service. Years of service correlate statistically significantly with most questions. In particular, our results indicate that the alternative conceptions of teachers, reflecting misconceptions and preconceptions, reduce as the years of professional experience increase. Our study can be employed in science teaching, the design of Curricula, and teachers’ professional development.

The study objective is the problem of choosing a cooling method for abrasive machining of parts made of polymer and composite materials (PCM). The paper is devoted to the choice of effective use of lubricating coolants in spraying air-and-water mixture. The study is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the coolant supply method using the internal channels of the instrument. As a result of the study, the efficiency of the new cooling method is determined. Conclusions: the use of a new cooling method contributes to the rational distribution and movement of air-and-water mixture flows in a soft abrasive brush. The proposed cooling method makes it possible to supply the air-and-water mixture more precisely, eliminating the effect of moisture absorption by the polymer. The obtained spectrum of temperature distribution while modeling the flow of the air-and-water mixture shows that the efficiency of cooling the cutting zone when using internal channels is not inferior to the methods previously presented in the scientific literature, but at the same time has a number of technological advantages.

For experiments, endophytic strains B. subtilis 26D, B. subtilis 11VM, B. thuringiensis B-6066 and two isolates of Bacillus sp. isolated from wheat leaves growing on the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan Bacillus sp. Tas1 and Tas8.2 were selected. These strains and isolates produced lipopeptides of three families: surfactins, fengycins, and iturins. We obtained lipopeptide-rich fractions (LRF) from the cultivation medium of all strains and isolates. The aim of the work was to select growth-promoting and immunostimulating concentrations of bacterial strains and isolates and their LRFs, which are capable of modulating different types of resistance (antibiosis and endurance) of wheat plants against Greenbug aphid Schizaphis graminum Rond. Growth-promoting concentrations for bacterial suspensions were selected in the range of 1.0–2.0 μl of suspension per 1 g of seeds, and for LRF within 1.5–2.5 μg/ml. Treatment of seeds with bacterial suspensions and their LRF increased germination and elevated the growth of wet and dry biomass in test for effectiveness of biocontrol agents (GOST 12038-84). Bacteria and their LRF at growth-promoting concentrations indirectly increased plant endurance, which was expressed in leaf growth, and enhanced mortality of the pest that fed on plants treated with bacteria or LRF. All studied bacterial strains and isolates are promising for protection of wheat plants from cereal aphids.

Recent advances have shown that proteolysis is required in biological systems not only to remove misfolded or damaged proteins in a nonspecific manner, but also as a modulator of regulatory pathways. In this work, an attempt was made to determine the spatial and temporal localization of Arg-X protease activity in positively charged protein fractions during the change in the growth phases of the batch culture of Escherichia coli. It was found that the distribution of proteins with Arg-X proteinase activity in a bacterial cell depends on the change in growth phases. In addition, "acidic" proteins with Arg-X proteinase activity were mainly detected in bacterioplasma and in the fraction of proteins loosely bound to the cellular residue during the exponential growth phase, while in the basic proteins, Arg-X proteolytic activity was detected in fractions loosely and strongly bound with the cellular residue and in the cellular residue itself in the growth deceleration phase. From which it can be assumed that Arg-X proteases are involved in the processes of nucleoid reorganization, modifying the proteins involved in its compaction. The results obtained can be considered as one of the illustrations of the complex multilevel regulatory networks of proteinases in a bacterial cell, which can participate in the proteolytic processing of histone-like proteins, thereby participating in spatiotemporal structural changes in the states of the nucleoid during the growth of a batch culture.

The use of polyfunctional strains of degrading bacteria, which are simultaneously capable of decomposing pollutants, stimulating the growth and development of remediant plants, and being resistant to heavy metals, is the most promising way to increase the efficiency of bioremediation of soils contaminated with hydrocarbons. In this work, isolated from oil-contaminated soil and identified up to species using a comparative analysis of the nucleotide sequences of the 16S rRNA gene, bacterial strains of the genus Pseudomonas were able to oxidize hydrocarbons of various classes, oil and diesel fuel to end products (66-138 mg CO2/g of substrate), dissolve inorganic phosphates, and produce IAA (305-1617 ng/ml culture fluid), and are also resistant to lead ions at a concentration of 1,5-2,0 g/l. When barley seeds were inoculated with a diluted liquid culture of bacteria, the length of shoots (by 2,7-18,0%) and roots (total) (by 20,9-33,1%) increased. All strains are recommended for further study of their biotechnologically important properties with a view to possible further application in environmental biotechnology.

Traditional games are playgrounds for children who have been an age and played through generations. Traditional games have the benefit of a child's development both physically and mentally. These traditional games are categorized as an entertainment tool, a fighting tool, and an educational tool. There are many traditional forms of play, including engklek, cublak-cublak suweng, and sodor gobak. In the many traditional games there must be educational values that children can take. Being known for a long time, not compromising the possibility of technological advancement may result in the loss of traditional games. It is also because natural environmental changes make it impossible for children to find a place to play and when social distancing becomes more common. These technological advances can have a positive and negative effect on children. It is hoped that the article will enable people to realize that it is important to preserve one of Indonesia's cultural heritage traditional play and participate in the preservation and promotion of traditional games to children to keep time.

The Impact of Gender, Parents’ Education Level, and Socio-Economic Status on Turkish Students’ Mathematics Performance
Authors: Rusli
Published: November 2022

This paper describes secondary data analyses that investigate the impact of gender, parents’ education level, and socio-economic status upon Turkish students’ mathematics achievement in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2009. The analyses were done quantitatively using t-tests, one-way ANOVA, correlation and linear regression. The findings revealed that gender differences and Turkish students’ mathematics performance are statistically significant but practically not significant. Parents’ education level had an impact on Turkish students’ mathematics achievements. The index of Economic, Social and Cultural Status (ESCS) had a positive effect on mathematics achievements and ESCS was a significant predictor of Turkish students’ mathematics performance. The findings seem to suggest that at the school level, the school environment is expected to build students’ motivation in learning, and the teachers in the classroom setting are expected to provide extra hours and learning consultation services for students who need it. At the student level, students were expected to have high motivation in learning and are suggested to not rely on learning facilities provided by their parents. However, further research is required prior to making any recommendations on school policy, teaching, and learning practice in the classroom setting.Keywordsstudents’ mathematics performance; gender; parents’ education level; socio-economic status

Sadism is a Lower-Order Facet of Schadenfreude
Authors: Parton Drew M. , Chester David
Published: November 2022

Sadism represents a predisposition towards enjoying the suffering that we cause others. However, this conceptualization of Sadism closely abuts that of schadenfreude—the tendency to find pleasure in others’ suffering. The relationship between trait Sadism and trait schadenfreude has gone understudied. Using latent construct modeling with a cross-sectional and diverse sample of 322 undergraduate participants, we found that the bi-factor model of Sadism and schadenfreude that best fit the data articulated Sadism as a sub-facet of schadenfreude. Sadism was more strongly related to physical aggressiveness, anger, and antagonism than schadenfreude, suggesting a distinct nomological profile. Future research should seek to identify the mechanisms that translate a passive, schadenfreudic disposition into actual acts of Sadistic aggression.
Effects of retrospective inference on structure learning: a simulation study
Authors: Silvestrin Francesco , FitzGerald Thomas HB
Published: November 2022

The ability to flexibly learn the structure of one’s surroundings (structure learning) is crucial for adaptive behaviour. Use of an inaccurate model of the environment can lead to incorrect inferences, and thus maladaptive actions. Despite this, relatively little is understood about how structure learning occurs in human cognition, with only a handful of experiments investigating the phenomenon. To address this, we built on existing approaches to create an online clustering algorithm, in which we included a working memory component, allowing belief update about past stimuli (retrospective inference) in contrast with the more widespread fully online approach. We used this model to simulate behaviour on a novel structure learning task, where optimal performance required estimating the number and properties of discrete clusters of continuous stimuli. In this work we show how our algorithm outperforms a parametric one (i.e. with fixed number of clusters). We further demonstrate how retrospective inference benefits structure learning, with performance increasing with working memory capacity. We finally discuss trial-by trial measures that can be derived from our model, which provide testable predictions for future empirical studies.
Investigating moderation effects at the within-person level using intensive longitudinal data: A two-level dynamic structural equation modelling approach in Mplus
Authors: Speyer Lydia Gabriela , Murray Aja Louise , Kievit Rogier
Published: November 2022

Recent technological advances have provided new opportunities for the collection of intensive longitudinal data. Using methods such as dynamic structural equation modelling, these data can provide new insights into moment-to-moment dynamics of psychological and behavioural processes. In intensive longitudinal data (t > 20), researchers often have theories that imply that factors that change from moment to moment within individuals act as moderators. For instance, a person’s level of sleep deprivation may affect how much an external stressor affects mood. Here, we describe how researchers can implement, test and interpret dynamically changing within-person moderation effects using two-level dynamic structural equation modelling as implemented in the structural equation modelling software Mplus. We illustrate the analysis of within-person moderation effects using an empirical example investigating whether changes in spending time online using social media affect the moment-to-moment effect of loneliness on depressive symptoms. We provide annotated Mplus code, enabling researchers to better isolate, estimate and interpret the complexities of within-person interaction effects.
Parent-mediated Play-based Interventions to Improve Social Communication and Language Skills of Preschool Autistic Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Deniz Emre , Francis Gill Althia , Torgerson Carole , Toseeb Umar
Published: November 2022

Play-based interventions are gaining popularity amongst autistic children. Parents are uniquely placed to deliver these interventions as they are most familiar with their child’s strengths and challenges. Accordingly, reporting the effectiveness of play-based interventions and/or parent-delivered or mediated early-year interventions have been popular topics in the literature in the last decade. Despite this, little is known about the efficacy of parent-mediated play-based interventions on the developmental outcomes of autistic children. To close this gap in knowledge, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials and quasi-experiments focusing on social communication skills, language skills, and autistic characteristics of preschool autistic children (0–6-year-old) in non-educational settings. Overall, 26 studies met the inclusion criteria 21 of which were included in the synthesis. Of the included studies, 20 studies reported social communication skills, 15 studies reported language skills, and 12 studies reported autistic characteristics. Pooling effect sizes across the included studies showed that parent-mediated play-based interventions were effective on social communication (d =  .63) and language skills (d =  .40) as well as autistic characteristics (d =   − .19) of preschool autistic children. Our findings suggest that parent-mediated play-based interventions hold promise for improving social functioning and related autistic characteristics for preschool autistic children.

The paper reestimates global inequality between 1820 and 1980, reappraises the results up to 2013, and presents new inequality estimates for 2018. It shows that historically, global inequality has followed three eras: the first, from 1820 until 1950, characterized by rising between country income differences and increasing within-country inequalities; the second, from 1950 to the last decade of the 20th century, with very high global and between-country inequality; and the current one of decreasing inequality thanks to the rise of Asian incomes, and especially so Chinese. The present era has seen the emergence of the global “median” class, reduced population-weighted gaps between nations, and the greatest reshuffling in income positions between the West and China since the Industrial Revolution. Whether global inequality will continue on its downward trend depends now much more on changes in India and large African countries than on China.

Der Klang der Ungleichheit. Biografie, Bildung und Zusammenhalt in der vielsprachigen Gesellschaft
Authors: Brizic Katharina
Published: November 2022

Die Grundschule ist eine einzigartige Keimzelle des sozialen Zusammenhalts. Hier ist die Vielfalt der Bevölkerung zum letzten Mal gemeinsam vertreten, bevor sich die Wege mit dem Übertritt in die Sekundarstufe trennen – vor allem in sozial so ungleichen Bildungssystemen wie dem österreichischen und deutschen. Das Buch widmet sich im ersten Teil ganz dieser Vielfalt, ausgehend von 160 Wiener Müttern und Vätern, deren Kinder knapp vor dem Ende der Grundschulzeit stehen. In vielsprachigen autobiografischen Erzählungen geben die Eltern kontroverse, kraftvolle Einblicke in ihre Familiengeschichte, Sprachenbiografie, Migration oder Flucht und erheben die Stimme gegen erfahrene Ungleichheit sowie für die Zukunft ihrer Kinder. Im zweiten Teil folgen die Lehrkräfte mit ihren Wahrnehmungen und dem Druck, den die „soziale Auslese“ am Ende der Grundschulzeit ausübt. Der dritte und letzte Teil des Buches betrachtet das Resultat: den Erfolg oder Misserfolg der Kinder und sein konkretes Zustandekommen: Wie wurde auch hier wieder eklatante soziale Ungleichheit hergestellt, obwohl dies niemand wollte? Welche elterlichen Biografien, welche Kompetenzen der Kinder waren erfolgreich, wurden also von den Lehrkräften gehört und gewürdigt, und welche blieben – trotz vergleichbarer Leistung – erfolglos? Was hat die Schule von der familiären Geschichte, der Stimmenvielfalt überhaupt wahrgenommen, und was hat zu den Verzerrungen im institutionellen „Hören“ geführt? Der Klang der Ungleichheit dokumentiert die Vielsprachigkeit und Vielstimmigkeit unserer globalisierten Zeit sowie die Verantwortlichkeiten des Bildungssystems, indem empirische Zeugnisse einander in herausfordernder Weise gegenübergestellt werden. Den durchaus schwerwiegenden Folgen stellt die Autorin interdisziplinäre Perspektiven gegenüber, die das Lehren und Lernen in seiner Funktion stärken, Keimzelle einer solidarischen Migrationsgesellschaft zu sein.
Climate Adaptation Financing in Nepal
Authors: Agrawal Devansh
Published: November 2022

Nepal as a country vulnerable to the effects of climate change, and with limited domestic resources must priorities adaptation actions and relies on international support to finance its need. There have been substantial amounts of climate finance flowing into the country from a multitude of sources mainly in the form of grants and debt instruments, with over US$3 billion committed by international providers over the last decade. Commitments to finance adaptation have been steadily increasing over the same period, however not all commitments translate to results on the ground, as over half of reported adaptation finance can be considered over reported. Specific challenges have been identified in absorbing climate finance in Nepal, including governance issues, lack of internal capacity, lack of coordination, inadequate climate finance management and lack of legislation and implementation strategies. This paper proposes reforms along the lines of transparency and accountability, localization and government ownership, capacity building, coordination, climate budgeting, monitoring and legislation to tackle these challenges and ensure better efficacy of climate finance in adaptation programs in the country.
Nepal’s Geo-Stretegic Significance, Challenges And Opportunities
Authors: Aryal Prakash
Published: November 2022

Geo-strategic significance is an important factor for the development and prosperity of the country. Nepal’s geo-strategic location, crammed between India and China, has its challenges and opportunities. Due to its unique location, Nepal is getting heightened attention from great powers. The factor of having a strategic location doesn’t quite guarantee the nation’s sovereignty, prosperity and growth rather it needs conscious and constructive efforts. Being a buffer state, security situation in Nepal is always a major concern for both neighbors. Traditionally India had an important role in Nepal’s economic cooperation, trade, transit and investment. After Nepal’s transition to a republic state China’s support has seemly increased in Nepal with its investment in development projects, increased bilateral visits, bilateral mechanism and cultural cooperation. China’s increased role in Nepal can understood as competing other global power’s geo-strategic interests. Question arises, whether Nepal has geostrategic significance because of its location, which could be capitalized for growth of the nation and at the same time carefully; formulate its foreign policy while balancing its diplomacy to avoid precipitation of a spiral of counterbalancing intrusion? Nepal should carefully analyze these global powers and its emerging foreign policies and should devise its diplomatic exercise prioritizing Nepal’s national interests and keeping perfect balance among them.
Pränatale Zeiten - Das Ungeborene und die Humanwissenschaften (1800-1950)
Authors: Arni Caroline
Published: November 2022

Im späten 19. Jahrhundert äußerten französische Psychiater eine alarmierende Vermutung : Bei Kindern, die während der preußischen Belagerung und der blutigen Revolten in Paris 1870 / 71 gezeugt worden waren, beobachteten sie gehäuft körperliche und psychische Anomalien. Das ließ aufhorchen: Konnte es sein, dass die turbulenten Ereignisse jener Jahre eine fatale Wirkung in der nachfolgenden Generation entfaltet hatten ?
Von dieser medizinhistorischen Episode ausgehend untersucht Caroline Arni die Geschichte der humanwissenschaftlichen Erforschung des Werdens von Menschen. Sie zeigt, wie Physiologen, Mediziner und Psychologen im 19. Jahrhundert das Ungeborene zum « Vorgeburtlichen » erklärten, wie sie im Leben des Fötus Ursprünge kindlicher Eigentümlichkeiten und Anfänge menschlicher Subjektivität suchten und wie sie im Körper der Schwangeren Vergangenheit und Zukunft der Gesellschaft miteinander verschränkten.
Am Sirenenkap - Rilkes Capri-Gedichte
Authors: Röhnert Jan , Rilke Rainer Maria
Published: November 2022

Im Winter und Frühjahr 1907/08 schrieb Rilke auf Capri gut dreißig Gedichte. Obwohl es nie zu einer eigenständigen Publikation gekommen ist, hat Rilke ihnen bereits zu Lebzeiten eine besondere Bedeutung für sein Werk eingeräumt. In der Form eines Tagebuchs, das mehr als hundert Jahre später an der Capri gegenüberliegenden Küste des süditalienischen Cilento spielt, setzt sich Jan Röhnert sowohl mit den biographischen als auch mit den poetologischen und mythologischen Dimensionen dieser Gedichte auseinander. Er zeigt dabei, wie die formale, rhetorische und phänomenologische Gestalt von Rilkes Annäherungen an den Mythos Capri wiederum Literatur hervorbringen kann.
Die Perikopenlieder Michel Beheims - Bibelversifikationen im vorreformatorischen Sangspruch
Authors: Janota Johannes
Published: November 2022

Erstmals in der deutschen Literaturgeschichte dichtete Michel Beheim in größerer Anzahl Perikopenlieder, welche die Evangelienabschnitte textnah versifizierten. Das zukunftsweisende Potential dieses neuen Liedtyps wurde von Beheims höfischem Publikum, das bis zum Kaiserhof in Wien reichte, jedoch nicht erkannt. Erst bei den städtischen Meistersingern ab Hans Sachs reüssierte das Perikopenlied zu einem festen Liedtyp – nunmehr im Dienst der Reformation. Die Gegenüberstellung von Michel Beheim und Hans Sachs liefert nicht nur neue Erkenntnisse für die Literaturgeschichte, sondern auch für die Kirchen- und Frömmigkeitsgeschichte zur vorreformatorischen Zeit. Der literaturwissenschaftliche Ertrag der Untersuchung ergibt sich aus der formalen und sprachlichen Analyse der textnahen Versifikationen in den unterschiedlichsten Strophenformen.
Psychiatrische Ordnung in Gefahr - «Irrenanstalten» um 1900 im Blick von Öffentlichkeit und Literatur
Authors: Schmiedebach Heinz-Peter
Published: November 2022

Trotz ihrer Abgeschlossenheit waren Irrenanstalten als «totale Institutionen» um 1900 unterschiedlichen sozialen und politischen Einflüssen ausgesetzt, die die bestehenden Ordnungen in den Anstalten erschütterten und teilweise Neustrukturierungen verlangten. Zudem provozierten die Einweisungspraxis und die Modalitäten der Irrsinnserklärung eine wachsende öffentliche und literarisch-künstlerische Kritik, die auch in Romanen und Theateraufführungen deutlich artikuliert wurde. Verstärkt wurde diese Bewegung durch eine Irrenrechtsbewegung, in der betroffene Personen und deren Unterstützer organisiert waren. Die mit Hilfe von Printmedien mobilisierte kritische Öffentlichkeit stellte die Psychiater vor deutliche Herausforderungen, auf die der Berufsstand mit unterschiedlichen Strategien zu antworten suchte.
Zu diesem Themenkomplex lässt Heinz-Peter Schmiedebach in seiner Darstellung Psychiater, Insassen, Psychiatriekritiker, Personen aus dem Pflegebereich sowie Literaten und Autorinnen zu Wort kommen.
Theorie der kinder- und jugendliterarischen Kommunikation - Eine Grundlegung
Authors: Ewers Hans-Heino
Published: November 2022

Bei Kinder- und Jugendliteratur handelt es sich um literarische Botschaften mit der Zielgruppe Kinder und Jugendliche. Wie diese Botschaften ausgeprägt sind, geht auf die Stadien des kinder- und jugendliterarischen Kommunikationsprozesses zurück, wie der erste Teil des Buchs systematisch zeigt. Der zweite Teil befasst sich mit den produktiven, distributiven und evaluativen Handlungssystemen der kinder- und jugendliterarischen Massenkommunikation und deutet an, wie sie sich im digitalen Zeitalter verändern. Der dritte Teil zeichnet in historischer Perspektive die mit der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur verfolgten Kommunikationsziele nach und stellt im Überblick die gebräuchlichen literarischen Gattungen samt ihren historischen Wurzeln dar. Es wird eine Vielzahl systematischer und historischer Fragestellungen aufgegriffen, die aktuell in der Forschung vernachlässigt werden.
