Uterine Involution and Ovarian Activity in Postpartum Holstein Dairy Cows. A Review
Authors: Elmetwally Mohammed Ahmed
Published: November 2018

Following parturition in the cow, there is a significant period of sexual quiescence of variable length. This period of reproductive quiescence was found to be longer in suckling or intensively milked animals.This acyclic period is generally considered as the postpartum anoestrous period. The postpartum period constitutes an important period in the reproductive life of dairy cows because of its enormous influence upon subsequent fertility. The entire postpartum period, puerperium, is defined as the period from parturition until the genital organs return to its normal physiological and histological condition, as in normal non-gravid state. They added that any extension of the puerperium in cows might have a detrimental effect on the reproductive performance of the individual animal. Thus, the main determinant of this period is essentially dependent on the resumption of normal ovarian cycles, the manifestation of estrus behaviour and conception following insemination.
Taxation as tyranny: American Progress and the ultraconservative movement
Authors: Huntington John S.
Published: November 2018

Willis E. Stone watched aghast as mid-century liberals expanded the size and power of the federal government. Stone, a former industrial engineer and unbending anti-statist, believed this liberal surge obfuscated and abetted an imminent red tide of communism. He founded the American Progress Foundation and its flagship periodical,American Progress, to spread a hardline libertarian message, hoping to spark conservative resistance against federal power. In the pages ofAmerican Progress, Stone and a coterie of other right-wingers published conspiratorial, anti-statist diatribes and promoted Stone’s proposal, the Liberty Amendment, to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment. Right-wing business owners joined the fray, sponsoringAmerican Progressthrough advertisements, and over time Stone’s movement expanded to form a collaborative network with other far-right groups. This article illustrates howAmerican Progressserved as an activist and ideological nexus for the broader ultraconservative movement, which helped establish a hardline brand of libertarianism that reverberated throughout the modern American Right. Furthermore, by analysing the scope and influence of radical right-wing publications, this article provides a critical counterweight to the traditional left-wing focus of periodical studies.
Chronicling subversion: The Cronaca Sovversiva as both seditious rag and community paper
Authors: Quinn Adam
Published: November 2018

The Cronaca Sovversiva (Subversive Chronicle) was an anarchist newspaper, known today for the views of editor Luigi Galleani, whose ideas are associated with multiple bombings carried out in the United States throughout the 1910s and 1920s, the First Red Scare and the executed anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. A broad reading of the Cronaca Sovversiva, which focusses on more than its connections to controversy, violence and repression, reveals how a periodical produced by a wide range of artists, writers and activists became central to how many Italian immigrants understood and engaged with industrial capitalism. This paper argues that the Cronaca Sovversiva built an audience over time by incorporating a wide range of perspectives, addressing local and global issues and linking readers with other forms of literature as well as community events and projects. Diverse works of radical literature, art and announcements in the periodical, set within the predictable, repetitious framework of a weekly community paper, allowed a germinating militant movement to develop throughout and outside the Cronaca Sovversiva’s pages.
Black power print
Authors: West E. James
Published: November 2018

This photographic essay focuses on the cover art of a wave of black radical periodicals which emerged in the United States during the 1960s to shed light on the intersections between Black Power, graphic design and black print culture. By examining the graphic design and artwork employed by ‘little black magazines’ such as Liberator, Soulbook and Black America, we can see the origins of a Black Power visual aesthetic which was most memorably rendered through the work of Emory Douglas and the Black Panther community newspaper during the late 1960s and early 1970s. In turn, I argue that such cover art can be understood as just one example of the visual intersections which emerged between black radical activism and black print culture in the United States during the years following World War II.
Reading the Radical American Periodical
Authors: Bazin Victoria , Currell Sue , West E. James
Published: November 2018

This special issue probes our definitions and understandings of both the ‘radical’ and the ‘American’ in North American print and periodical culture. As many of the subsequent papers demonstrate, notions of radicalism as expressed in American periodicals often necessitate(d) looking beyond the nation state. Similarly, this issue highlights the fluidity of ‘radicalism’ as a temporal and technological concept; relatable not only to literary content, but also to graphic design, editorial control, foreign language use, subscription policies, and other aspects of production, dissemination and reception. Thematically and conceptually diverse, the articles collated here provide a judicious intervention into the developing field of periodical studies.
Las redes de política pública: un análisis de la gestión del riesgo ante inundaciones en el Valle alto del río Cauca, Colombia
Authors: Quintero G. Olga Patricia , Thomas B. Javier Enrique
Published: November 2018

En Colombia, la temporada invernal 2010-2011 se manifestó con intensas lluvias que originaron vastas inundaciones, en varias zonas del país. En el Departamento del Valle del Cauca las pérdidas fueron significativas tanto en sus centros poblados como en los espacios rurales. Para hacer frente a esta situación el gobierno colombiano expidió alrededor de cuarenta y un decretos, desde diferentes carteras ministeriales, orientadas a la generación de recursos económicos y creación de nuevos ministerios, que pudieran atender de manera efectiva y oportuna a la población en riesgo, y prever la atención adecuada en posibles eventos futuros similares. No obstante, una de las mayores dificultades para superar y corregir estas situaciones, radica en la capacidad real de establecer intervenciones articuladas y coherentes entre los diversos actores sociales, públicos y privados, que intervienen en la gestión del riesgo. Ello, que se materializa a través de las denominadas “Redes de política”, se configura en el objeto central de la presente investigación; analizar, desde este enfoque, cómo se establecen las relaciones entre los actores públicos y privados localizados en el área del corredor del río Cauca y las tensiones y alianzas que se generan entre ellos desde la colisión o convergencia de intereses particulares, según el caso. Los resultados muestran que hay avances importantes frente al proceso de conformación de la red; sin embargo, se identificaron dificultades en el relacionamiento con y entre los actores sociales; además existen problemas de gobernabilidad institucional frente a las autoridades ambientales.
Evolución, similitudes y diferencias en la estructura urbana entre ciudades fronterizas y coloniales mexicanas
Authors: Álvarez De la Torre Guillermo Benjamín , Ayala Macías Elvia Guadalupe
Published: November 2018

El objetivo del presente artículo es verificar cómo la estructura urbana de las ciudades medias y su evolución cobran sentido a partir del posicionamiento de una temporalidad que impacta en su conformación de manera indistinta. Para ello, se busca comprender la evolución del espacio urbano de seis ciudades mexicanas a partir de sus zonas de crecimiento, con el fin de identificar las similitudes y diferencias en la evolución de ciudades fronterizas de norte de México y ciudades de origen colonial.Si bien puede suponerse que los espacios centrales de ciudades coloniales conservan una función en la estructura urbana que resulta diferencial al de los centros de las ciudades localizadas en la frontera norte. A partir del análisis de la población migrante, vivienda abandonada, densidad y edad de la población para los años de 1990, 2000 y 2010, se identificó que el comportamiento espacial de las variables resulta similar independientemente del carácter colonial o fronterizo de dichas ciudades, por lo tanto, se propone la utilización de la temporalidad como un factor alternativo que permite identificar las características generales de la estructura urbana de las ciudades medias mexicanas.
Cheguei primeiro! Autoctonia e nostalgia nacional como mecanismos de redução do preconceito
Authors: Reis Nivalda Novo , Guerra Rita
Published: November 2018

Este estudo explorou novos mecanismos através dos quais o modelo da identidade endogrupal comum melhora as atitudes intergrupais (Gaertner & Dovidio, 2000). Especificamente, explorou-se se representações identitárias mais inclusivas de grupo único e de dupla identidade melhoram as atitudes intergrupais, através da redução da nostalgia nacional, da autoctonia e das emoções intergrupais negativas, relativamente a 3 grupos de imigrantes a residir em Portugal (i.e., africanos, brasileiros e ucranianos). Participaram neste estudo 305 participantes de origem portuguesa, que preencheram um questionário com as medidas de interesse. Os resultados revelaram que, tal como esperado, a representação identitária de grupo único esteve associada a atitudes intergrupais mais positivas (i.e., verificou-se uma diminuição da distância social e aumento dos sentimentos positivos), através da redução da autoctonia e das emoções intergrupais negativas. No entanto, contrariamente ao esperado, as representações identitárias inclusivas não estiveram associadas a atitudes positivas, através da redução da nostalgia nacional. Este trabalho mostrou, pela primeira vez, que identidades inclusivas são uma estratégia que pode reduzir a adesão a argumentos autóctones, promovendo assim atitudes mais positivas e uma integração bem-sucedida dos imigrantes que chegam à Europa.

Gest liturgiczny w perspektywie lingwistycznej i antropologicznej. Zarys problematyki
Authors: Drabik Beata
Published: November 2018

Prezentowany artykuł jest próbą pokazania, że gesty i postawy liturgiczne, funkcjonujące w obrębie liturgii Kościoła katolickiego, stanowią interesujący przedmiot badawczy nie tylko dla teologów, ale także dla językoznawców. Autorka koncentruje się przede wszystkim na wskazaniu możliwości, jakie badaniom gestów liturgicznych stwarza przyjęcie metodologii językoznawstwa kognitywnego, zwłaszcza koncepcji schematów wyobrażeniowych. Pokazuje także, w jaki sposób poszukiwaniu tkwiących za gestami liturgicznymi schematów wyobrażeniowych przysłużyć może się antropologiczno-kulturowa perspektywa spojrzenia na gesty funkcjonujące w komunikacji międzyludzkiej.

33 sceny z życia to film autobiograficzny Małgorzaty Szumowskiej (2008), inspirowany prawdziwymi wydarzeniami z jej życia – niemal jednoczesną śmiercią matki (pisarki Doroty Terakowskiej) i ojca (dokumentalisty Macieja Szumowskiego). Poprzedził go film dokumentalny A czego tu się bać? (2006), który ukazał stosunek społeczności wiejskiej do problemu śmierci i zmarłych. W filmie 33 sceny z życia przedstawiono inny rodzaj doświadczania śmierci i żałoby. Była to wersja miejska i ateistyczna, kpina z rytuałów związanych ze śmiercią (namaszczenia chorych i pogrzebu). Ich rozbieżność określa nie tylko ateistyczny charakter religijnych rytuałów, ale także, co najważniejsze, język. W 33 scenach posługiwano się idiolektami przedstawicieli krakowskiej inteligencji, z licznymi wulgaryzmami, podczas gdy w filmie dokumentalnym A czego tu się bać? – dialektem wiejskim z odniesieniami do języka religijnego. Celem prezentowanego artykułu jest analiza języka filmu i języka w filmie.
Rehabilitating Austin, Reassessing Grice: The Case of Cancellability
Authors: Egan David
Published: November 2018

This paper assesses Grice’s work on conversational implicature in the light of one of its early targets: Austin’s claim that we cannot isolate the meaning of an expression from the context in which it is used. Grice argues that we can separate the literal meaning of many utterances from their pragmatic implicatures through the mechanism of explicit cancellation. However, Grice’s conception of cancellation does not account for the fact that an explicit cancellation must be uttered, and that its utterance involves further implicatures that undermine the attempted cancellation. What Grice calls explicit cancellations are better understood as utterances that resolve ambiguities, and hence apply only in cases where there exists an ambiguity that needs resolving. If Grice’s work does not undermine Austin, we are in a position to reassess an Austinian form of philosophical criticism that emphasizes the ordinary usage of expressions deployed in philosophical arguments.
„… und von hier oben sieht es so aus, als wären die Trümmer der alten Bibliothek mit riesigen schwarzen Spinnen bedeckt. “ Die Bibliothek in dystopischen Jugendromanen des 21. Jahrhunderts
Authors: Planka Sabine
Published: November 2018

Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht unter Berücksichtigung aktueller Diskurse die in kinder- und jugendliterarischen Dystopien implementierten Bibliotheken hinsichtlich ihres strukturellen Aufbaus, ihrer technischen Entwicklung sowie damit verknüpft ihrer topografischen Verortung und des in ihnen enthaltenen Wissens und widmet sich der Frage nach dem Stellenwert, den die Bibliothek für die handelnden Akteure, namentlich staatlichen Machthabern auf der einen und den Protagonistinnen und Protagonisten auf der anderen Seite haben.

Die Analyse diverser ausgewählter Dystopien zeigt, dass Bibliotheken gedoppelt vorkommen, nämlich einerseits virtuell, andererseits aber eben auch als real existentes topografisch verortbares Gebäude, das häufig verfallen und zerstört, immer aber verborgen präsentiert wird. Daraus resultiert ein divergierender Umgang mit dem Bibliotheksbestand: Während das digital vorhandene Wissen in der Regel staatlich kontrolliert und selektiert an die Bewohner weitergegeben wird - es sich somit um staatliche Zensur handelt -, beherbergen die - der Vergessenheit anheim gegebenen - topografisch verortbaren Bibliotheken/Bibliotheksgebäude verbotenes und in dieser Ausformung systemgefährdendes Wissen, das von den Protagonisten entdeckt und im Sinne der Narration zum Sturz der oftmals totalitär aufgebauten Regierung führt, vor allem wenn man bedenkt, dass die Bibliothek „das kulturelle Gedächtnis in räumlicher, konkreter Form [verkörpert]“, wie Dietmar Rieger, Kirsten Dickhaut und Cornelia Schmelz in ihrem Artikel „Bücher in Bibliotheken - Das Motiv der Bibliothek“ (in: Spiegel der Forschung 16 (1999), H 2, S. 14-23, hier: S. 15) festhalten. Dementsprechend kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass sich, sobald in jugendliterarischen Dystopien eine Bibliothek bewusst oder zufällig aufgesucht wird, vergessenes, ‚überschriebenes‘ Wissen finden lässt, das den aus dem Verborgenen heraus organisierten revolutionären Sturz von diktatorischen Gesellschaftsentwürfen ermöglicht.
Monetary Integration, Fiscal Divergence and Current Account Imbalances in Europe
Authors: Schnabl Gunther
Published: November 2018

The paper scrutinizes the role of diverging fiscal policy stances for diverging current account positions in Europe with a focus on the European Monetary Union (EMU). In a heterogeneous monetary union fiscal policy has the task to absorb asymmetric shocks to ensure the efficacy of the one-size monetary policy. It is argued that since the early years of the European Monetary Union divergent fiscal policies combined with monetary expansion constituted a major determinant of current account divergence within the euro area, which finally led into the European debt and financial crisis. Panel regressions reveal a significant impact of fiscal policies on current account positions, which to a large extent are independent from the exchange rate regime and turn out to be contingent on monetary and fiscal policy mix. Based on the findings economic policy recommendations are presented.

Authors: Berliana Sarni Maniar , Kristinadewi Putu Arry Novelina , Rachmawati Praba Diyan , Fauziningtyas Rista , Efendi Ferry , Bushy Angeline
Published: November 2018

Background

While studies on reproductive health issues are discussed widely, until recently early marriage among adolescent has not received enough attention across stakeholders in Indonesia. This research aims to analyze the determinants of early marriage among female adolescents in Indonesia.

Methods

This study employs data from the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2012 on females aged 15–19 years (n = 7207). The analytical methods used to determine factors of early marriage were chi-square and multiple logistic regression.

Results

The results from this research revealed that four determinants are significantly related to early marriage among female adolescent. Females who have not completed primary school tend to be involved in an early marriage more often than those who graduated from high school. Furthermore, underprivileged females tend to get married earlier than those with a high socio-economic status. Additionally, females living in rural areas are more prone to early marriage than those living in urban areas. Finally, well-informed females tend not to get married as early as females who do not have access to media information.

Conclusion

A stakeholder policy is required that promotes the status of females by improving access to national education, particularly for females in rural areas and those who live in poverty. Marketing and advertising media campaign targeting adolescent are needed to ensure greater access to information.
Gas-Phase Mercury Removal by Modified Activated Carbons Treated with Ar-O2 Non-Thermal Plasma under Different O2 Concentrations
Authors: Wu Long , Shang Zhongsheng , Zhu Hailu , Li Zhanyong , Luo Guangqian , Yao Hong
Published: November 2018

During the plasma modification process on activated carbon surface, reactive gas of O2 in the plasma field dominates the formation of oxygen-containing groups on activated carbon surface, which is a key factor that affects the mercury adsorption. Previous studies showed that change the O2 concentration would influence the generation of oxygen-containing groups and thus affect the mercury adsorption. It is important to investigate the effects of O2 concentration in the non-thermal plasma field on the mercury adsorption characteristic of modified activated carbon. This work presents the results of the novel use of non-thermal plasma in Ar-O2 gas to increase surface oxygen functionality on the surface of a commercially available biomass carbon. The volume fraction of O2 in the Ar-O2 mixture was varied from 10 % to 100 %. The surface physical and chemistry properties of modified activated carbon were analyzed by using BET, FT-IR and XPS techniques. Results showed that activated carbon modified by Ar-O2 non-thermal plasma showed significantly better mercury removal performance compared with the original activated carbon. Moreover, increase O2 concentration in the plasma field can further increase the mercury removal efficiency of modified activated carbon. Higher O2 concentration can produce more O radicals during plasma system and facilitated the formation of carbonyl and ester groups on activated carbon surface and thus enhanced the mercury removal. Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) results indicated that mercury reacted with ester groups were prior to carbonyl groups. When O2 concentration increased to 100 %, the ester groups of modified activated carbon dominated the mercury adsorption process.
Cardioautonomic responses to acute ingestion of ice water and its correlation to body mass index
Authors: Arjunwadekar Priya , Siddanagoudra Savitri Parvatgouda
Published: November 2018

Background

A significant relationship has been documented in the literature between the autonomic nervous system imbalance and cardiovascular mortality. In patients with autonomic failure, water ingestion has been shown to increase blood pressure (BP), induce bradycardia, and cause low heart rate variability (HRV). A few studies showed the altered HRV as an acute effect of ice water intake in healthy subjects. None of the studies have shown light on the relationship of BP and HRV to ice water intake in obese and overweight subjects. The present study is aimed to correlate BP and HRV with body mass index (BMI) after ice water ingestion.

Methods

This cross-sectional study included a total of 60 subjects of both sexes aged between 18 and 24 years old. Subjects were assigned into three groups based on their BMI: normal, overweight, and obese. Before and after ice water ingestion, BP and HRV parameters were recorded and compared between the groups. Statistically data were analyzed by Student’s paired t-test and one-way analysis of variance.

Results

Basal HF was significant (p<0.05) in all three groups after ice water ingestion [F(2, 27), 44.1; p-value, 0.02]. After ice water ingestion, all HRV values were significant (p<0.001) in the three groups. The post-hoc Tukey HSD test demonstrated the less mean score for mean RR interval, standard deviation of all NN interval, standard deviation of differences between adjacent, HF and high for HR, LF, and LHR in overweight and obese subjects.

Conclusions

Because of the effective buffering system, healthy subjects showed increased HR and unchanged BP. Overweight and obese subjects showed decreased HR and increased BP.
Between Paris and Geneva: Some Remarks on the Approval of the Gallican Confession (May 1559)
Authors: Braghi Gianmarco
Published: November 2018

This article analyses the approval of the Gallican Confession during the so-called first national synod of the French Reformed churches, held in Paris in May 1559. The established consensus is that Calvin had a starring role in the adoption of the Confession by the pastors assembled in Paris. The latter are believed to have modified and promulgated the Gallican Confession based on a draft that the former had authored and sent to the synod. This paper will test the hypothesis that Calvin never sent any draft to Paris for approval in May 1559 and that a 1557 Parisian document—the letter-confession Au Roy—was used as the basis for the text of the Gallican Confession. We will also show that in May 1559 Calvin was not opposed to the promulgation of a confession of faith, but to its untimely disclosure and/or publication in print. This article offers a different interpretation of the relationship between Geneva and the brethren assembled in Paris at this crucial stage, and suggests that the categories of agreement/disagreement between Calvin and some French pastors, normally applied to this event, might not be appropriate.
Henry VIII: Conciliarist?
Authors: McNicoll Matthew
Published: November 2018

Henry VIII is seldom considered a steerer of religious policy and theories of his political ambition, conservative religiosity and susceptibility to manipulation by his advisors dominate the historiography. Accordingly, the notion that Henry may be characterised as a conciliarist is one that has only ever been rejected outright. However, a preliminary consideration of this heretofore unconsidered matter reveals uncertainty in the verity of our existing historical paradigms. Henryʼs writings (which we maintain are authentic), actions following the Sack of Rome and approach to his annulment proceedings serve as evidence which suggests that Henry was an interested amateur theologian with a sincere appreciation of conciliarism. An understanding of the Kingʼs Great Matter as essentially a dispute over papal power and Henryʼs solution of a royal supremacy are developed as the ecclesiological backdrop against which this appreciation is to be viewed. In the light that other such matters may have been similarly overlooked, indications of the need for further research are outlined throughout.
Galleons from the “Mouth of Hell”: Empire and Religion in Seventeenth Century Acapulco
Authors: Mayfield Alex R.
Published: November 2018

Scholarship on the Spanish galleon trade has tended to ignore both the importance of religion and the significance of the port of Acapulco. This paper will seek to offset each shortcoming by offering a glimpse into the religious life of Acapulco during the seventeenth century. This glimpse will aim to establish the spatial linkages between religion and economy in the port by (1) identifying the sacred places, practices, and missions of the city, and (2) illustrating how they were intimately related to the galleon trade. Though Acapulco occupied a paradoxical space within the broader Spain’s imperial vision, its unique spiritual cartography continued to be dictated by the aims of that vision. The port provides a unique case study by which to understand the complex and often-contradictory relationship between urbanity, trade, and religiosity in the Spanish empire. It illustrates that the economic and religious structures needed to create heavenly spaces in Spanish colonial holdings also produced unintended byproducts, places where religion and economics merged to produce more unexpected outcomes. Acapulco never became the envisioned heavenly city; yet, throughout the seventeenth century, it continued to demonstrate that economics and religion remained integrally connected.

Word-final lengthening in Early Vedic
Authors: Keydana Götz
Published: November 2018

In this paper, a prosodic account of word-final vowel lengthening in the Rigveda is given. It is argued that word-final lengthening, lengthening in compounds, and lengthening before pada-suffixes are instantiations of one and the same phonological process. This process targets the right edge of prosodic words if this edge does not align with the edge of a higher prosodic constituent. A functional account and an explicit analysis in an Optimality Theory framework are given and the proposal is strengthened by adducing typological parallels. The rhythmic patterns emerging from lengthening are shown to be epiphenomena. In the last section, the proposal is extended to lengthening in reduplicants and tentatively to word final lengthening inn-stem vocatives.
Stefan Zweig, Hans Rosenkranz und der J. M. Spaeth-Verlag, Berlin
Authors: Litt Stefan
Published: November 2018

Von 1925 bis 1928 wurden im Berliner J. M. Spaeth-Verlag unter der Leitung von Hans Rosenkranz (1905–1956) eine Reihe von Werken seinerzeit eher unbekannter, in der Retrospektive jedoch signifikanter Autoren der Zwischenkriegszeit publiziert. Der Beitrag thematisiert Rosenkranz als jungen Verleger und Bewunderer Stefan Zweigs. Er entwirft auf Grundlage der Archivüberlieferung einen neuen Blick auf die Geschichte des Unternehmens und kommentiert das damit verbundene literarische Programm: Welche wichtigen verlegerischen Projekte wurden in jener kurzen Zeit unternommen? Welche Rolle hatte Stefan Zweig für das Zustandekommen einiger Titel und besonders in den letzten Wochen der Verlagsexistenz? Inwiefern lässt sich Programmgestaltung und ökonomische Entwicklung von J. M. Spaeth als paradigmatisch für jüdische Verlage in der Weimarer Republik verstehen? Dazu wird erstmals das Scheitern des Unternehmens während der „Bücherkrise“ Ende der 1920er Jahre aus den Quellen rekonstruiert.
“Anbeten Will Ich Dich, Unverstandener!”: On the Poet-God Relationship in Hedwig Caspari’s Poetry
Authors: Koplowitz-Breier Anat
Published: November 2018

Hartmut Vollmer (1993) and Barbara Wright (2005) argue that women Expressionist poets have been largely neglected and forgotten. The article seeks to make a modest contribution towards remedying this scholarly lacuna by examining Hedwig Caspari’s poetry, while focusing on the relationship between Poet and God as reflected in her poetry. Caspari (1882–1922) was a German-Jewish poet who lived and worked in Berlin. During her lifetime, she published two books—a play entitled Salomos Abfall (1920) and a volume of poetry entitled Elohim (1919). Like her play, most of her poetry deals with biblical themes. Caspari’s multifaceted relationship with God informs her poetry from the earliest to the latest poems. This article wishes to expose Caspari’s unique fe/male voice, showing her stance as a “prophet,” “lover,” and “Psalmist”, and attempts to explain why as a modernist poet she decided to write spiritual poetry.
The effect of precipitation and deposition layer growth on impedance measurements
Authors: Anseth Ronnie , Skeie Nils-Olav , Waskaas Magne
Published: November 2018

The objective of the study was to examine how precipitation and deposition layer growth in an electrochemical cell impact impedance measurements. A measurement system, based on Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), was used to observe the impedance of an electrochemical cell while precipitation was occurring. The measurement system was also used together with measurements of the solution concentration (in parts per million, ppm) to examine what impact deposition layer growth has on an electrochemical cell. Experimental results indicate a measurable change in the impedance magnitude as the ionic concentration is altered through precipitation. A change in both impedance magnitude and the interfacial capacitance was observed when a deposition layer was established within an electrochemical cell. Results show that impedance measurements are susceptible to changes in solution conductivity and to the presence of a deposition layer in an electrochemical cell. Impedance measurements may be used as an indicator for deposition layer growth, but changes in the solution concentration should be considered when creating a model.
Deduction of notional interest on equity according to the draft of the European Commission for a Council Directive on a Common Corporate Tax Base
Authors: Rose Manfred
Published: November 2018

Der Beitrag untersucht die von der Europäischen Kommission 2016 im Entwurf für eine neue Richtlinie des Rates über eine gemeinsame Körperschaftsteuer-Bemessungsgrundlage vorgeschlagenen Regeln zum Abzug fiktiver Zinsen auf neu gebildetes Eigenkapital. Geprüft wird, ob hiermit die in den meisten Ländern der EU bestehende steuerliche Diskriminierung der Investitionsfinanzierung mit Eigenkapital beseitigt wird. Nach vereinfachten Investitionsrechnungen werden die Unternehmen dazu veranlasst, mehr eigenfinanzierte Investitionen zu tätigen. Mit einer gegenüber dem Kommissionsvorschlag modifizierten Bestimmung des steuerlich relevanten Eigenkapitals wird es möglich, die für die Harmonisierung der Bemessungsgrundlagen so bedeutsame Neutralität des steuerlichen Bewertungsrechts sowie eine steuerliche Gleichbehandlung unterschiedlicher Zeitverläufe von Investitionserträgen zu gewährleisten.
Zu den rentenpolitischen Plänen im Koalitionsvertrag 2018 von CDU, CSU und SPD: Konsequenzen, Finanzierungsoptionen und Reformbedarf
Authors: Holtemöller Oliver , Schult Christoph , Zeddies Götz
Published: November 2018

In the coalition agreement from February 7, 2018, the new German federal government drafts its public pension policy, which has to be evaluated against the background of demographic dynamics in Germany. In this paper, the consequences of public pensions related policy measures for the German public pension insurance are illustrated using a simulation model. In the long run, the intended extensions of benefits would lead to an increase in the contribution rate to the German public pension insurance of about two and a half percentage points. Referring to pension systems of other countries, we discuss measures in order to limit this increase in the contribution rate.
Europäische Handelspolitik – was kann ihr Beitrag zu nachhaltiger Entwicklung in Afrika sein?
Authors: Schmieg Evita
Published: November 2018

European trade policy is under pressure to comply with sustainability demands. Trade policy can actively contribute to sustainable development, but under certain conditions, amongst them respect for the level of development, the point of departure of the respective countries and the inclusion of specific provisions for sustainability. Trade policy reaches its limitations in internal political and economic framework conditions in partner countries as well as other processes of globalization. This is also reflected in the trade relationship between the EU and African countries.

Published: November 2018

Este trabalho apresenta a análise arqueométrica da cerâmica Tupi do sítio arqueológico Gramado, no município de Brotas (Estado de São Paulo, Brasil), combinando análises elementais e análises de vestígios químicos. O objetivo foi analisar detalhes e processos tecnológicos das vasilhas que não são possíveis de detectar a olho nu ou em observações de microscopia de luz; i.e. composição dos pigmentos e pastas cerâmicas, bem como vestígios químicos que possibilitassem inferir sobre possíveis usos das mesmas. Este é o primeiro trabalho que analisa conjuntamente vestígios químicos do uso e composição de pigmentos e pastas em peças Tupi, oferecendo uma interpretação mais precisa dos usos das peças. As análises apontaram para três dados relevantes: i) pintura foi feita com corante mineral ou pigmento, principalmente óxido de ferro, óxido de manganês e silicato não identificado; ii) a pasta cerâmica era muito homogênea, com algumas variações na composição; iii) a variedade de componentes de vestígios químicos e suas intensidades indicaram diferentes usos para as vasilhas dependendo do tratamento de superfície pintada ou plástica. As análises de vestígios químicos e elementares dos componentes cerâmicos oferecem uma visão complementar para o entendimento da tecnologia e funcionalidade das vasilhas. Abstract: This work presents an archaeometric analysis on “tupi” people ceramics from Gramado archaeological site, at Brotas (São Paulo State, Brazil). comprising both elemental analysis and chemical vestiges analysis. Our goal was to analyze technological processes about the pottery that are not possible to be detected by the naked eye nor light microscopy; i.e. the composition of pigments and ceramic paste, as well chemical vestiges that could suggest possible uses of the pottery. This is the first paper that deepens analysis on Tupi pottery, offering a more precise scenery about the uses of the objects. The analysis showed three relevant results: i) painting was made with mineral stains or pigments, mainly iron oxide, manganese oxide and some unidentified silicate; ii) the ceramic paste was very homogenous, with few variation of its composition; iii) the variety of components of chemical vestiges and their intensities indicated that there were several different uses for the ceramics and they were related to surface treatments such as painting or textures. Both chemical analysis together, EDXRF and chemical vestiges, are capable to build a complementary view about the understanding of pottery technology and functionality.

Este artigo apresenta uma revisão sobre os principais métodos analíticos atualmente empregados no estudo de bens culturais e arqueológicos, com especial foco em técnicas baseadas em sincrotron, explorando suas vantagens e limitações dentro das demandas desse campo. As técnicas abordadas são a tomografia de raios X para análises de imagem do interior de objetos, a fluorescência de raios X para o mapeamento químico da superfície dos objetos de interesse, e a absorção de raios X para a especiação química de determinados elementos. Tais técnicas encontram-se disponíveis na fonte de luz sincrotron brasileira do Laboratório Nacional de Luz Síncrotron, o qual atualmente constrói Sirius, uma fonte de 4a geração que irá levar o Brasil a novas fronteiras tecnológicas para estudos de materiais, tal qual na área arqueometria. Abstract: This article presents a review about the main analytical methods currently applied in the study of cultural heritage and archeology, with a special focus on synchrotron-based techniques, exploring the advantages and limitations within the requirements of the field. The techniques presented are X-ray tomography for imaging the interior of objects, X- ray fluorescence for chemical mapping of the surface of objects of interest and X-ray absorption for chemical speciation of elements. These techniques are available in the Brazilian synchrotron light source of the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory, which currently builds Sirius, a 4th generation source that will take Brazil to new technological frontiers for the study of materials, as in the field of archeometry.
