Toward Student-Centered Teacher Education Programs
Authors:   Universiti Malaya, Jacobs George M. , Lie Anita ,   Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University
Published: November 2022

The impetus for this conceptual article was the authors’ reflections on their experiences as teachers and teacher educators in various Asian countries (China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam), combined with their support for Social-Cognitive Theory and student-centered learning. Of course, great variations exist within and between countries in terms of development programs for educators. The present article examines actions by lecturers, policy makers, and other stakeholders which might enhance teacher education by helping it evolve to be more student-centered, thereby better preparing teachers to be lifelong learners and for those teachers to use a student-centered approach with their own students. These actions involve five possible areas: (1) students doing more research; (2) increasing learners’ roles in course design; (3) going beyond basic teaching skills and the basic curriculum; (4) building the social side of learning; and (5) searching for new knowledge and learning tools.

Published: November 2022

Mangrove merupakan tumbuhan daerah tropis yang mampu hidup diwilayah pasang surut air laut dan sering dijadikan sebagai obat herbal tradisional karena memiliki kandungan senyawa bioaktif. Salahsatu mangrove yang berpotensi namun jarang diteliti yaitu Lumnitzera racemosa. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui senyawa bioaktif dari ekstrak daun mangrove Lumnitzera racemosa asal perairan Teluk awur, Jepara, serta pengaruh dari penggunaan metode panas yaitu soxhletasi terhadap senyawa yang didapatkan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode ekstraksi soxhletasi bertingkat dengan pelarut yang berbeda yaitu n-heksana, etil asetat, dan methanol. Uji fitokimia dilakukan untuk mengetahui kandungan senyawa alkaloid, flavonoid, fenol, steroid, triterpenoid, kuinon, dan saponin. Uji TLC dilakukan dengan eluen n-heksana : etil asetat (7:3). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rendemen terbanyak dihasilkan oleh ekstrak methanol, sehingga dapat disimpulkan metode soxhletasi menghasilkan rendemen lebih banyak daripada maserasi dan methanol mampu mengekstraksi sampel dengan lebih optimal. Uji fitokimia dan TLC menunjukkan mangrove L. racemosa terdapat senyawa bioaktif seperti alkaloid, flavonoid, fenol, steroid, terpenoid, dan kuinon. Pereaksi DPPH yang digunakan menunjukkan sampel L. racemosa positif berpotensi sebagai antioksidan.  Mangroves are tropical plants that are able to live in tidal areas and are often used as traditional herbal medicines due to containing bioactive compounds. One of the mangroves that has the potential but is rarely studied is Lumnitzera racemosa. The purpose of this study was to determine the bioactive compounds from mangrove leaf extract L. racemosa from the waters of Teluk Awur, Jepara, and the effect of using the heat method, namely soxhletation, on the compounds obtained. This study used a stratified soxhlet extraction method with different solvents, namely n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Phytochemical tests were conducted to determine the content of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, steroids, triterpenoids, quinones, and saponins. The TLC test was carried out with n-hexane: ethyl acetate as an eluent (7:3). The results showed that the highest yield was produced by methanol extract, so it can be concluded that the soxhletation method produced more yield than maceration and methanol was able to extract samples more optimally. Phytochemical and TLC tests showed that the L. racemosa mangrove contained bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, steroids, terpenoids, and quinones. Meanwhile, the DPPH reagent used showed positive L. racemosa samples as potential antioxidants.

Published: November 2022

Akumulasi mikroplastik di lingkungan menimbulkan ancaman ekologis dan telah menjadi masalah serius di dunia. Plastik terdistribusikan secara global di lautan dunia tersebar di kolom air, permukaan air, sepanjang garis pantai dan pada sedimen. Salah satu strategi untuk menghadapi pencemaran mikroplastik yaitu mencari agen pendegradasi mikroplastik berupa mikroba. Mikroba yang memiliki aktivitas pendegradasi terhadap polimer biasanya dapat diuji untuk mendegradasi plastik. Sumber alami untuk mendapatkan mikroba potensial yang memiliki aktivitas pendegradasi bisa didapat dari organisme yang memiliki banyak bakteri endosimbion untuk hidup seperti Mangrove. Sehingga perlu kajian mengenai potensi bakteri simbion mangrove dalam mendegradasi plastik. Uji degradasi mikroplastik polyethylene menggunakan mangrove Avicennia marina telah mendapatkan beberapa isolat agen biodegradator mikroplastik yaitu isolat WB-12, PJ-01 dan PJ-02 yang telah diketahui memiliki aktivitas biodegradasi pada mineral salt media polyethylene.  The accumulation of microplastics in the environment poses an ecological threat and has become a serious problem worldwide. Plastics are distributed globally in the world's oceans scattered in the water column, water surfaces, along coastlines and in sediments. One strategy to deal with microplastic pollution is to look for microplastic degrading agents in the form of microbes. Microbes that have polymer-degrading activity can usually be tested for plastic degradation. Natural sources to obtain potential microbes that have degrading activity can be obtained from organisms that have many endosymbiont bacteria to live such as mangroves. So it is necessary to study the potential of mangrove symbiont bacteria in degrading plastic. Polyethylene microplastic degradation test using Avicennia marina mangrove has obtained some of the microplastic biodegradator agents, namely isolate WB-12, PJ-01 and PJ-02 which is known to have biodegradation activity in mineral salt media polyethylene.
Estimasi Serapan Karbon Pada Vegetasi Mangrove Register 15, Kecamatan Pasir Sakti, Kabupaten Lampung Timur, Provinsi Lampung
Authors: Kusuma Anma Hari , Effendi Eko , Hidayatullah Maulana Syarif , Susanti Oktora
Published: November 2022

Perubahan iklim di sebabkan oleh kenaikan gas karbon dioksida (CO2) semenjak era revolusi industri dimana hal ini dicirikan dengan adanya peningkatan suhu, paras muka laut, perubahan pola curah hujan serta meningkatnya kejadian ekstrim seperti banjir, kekeringan, gelombang panas dan badai. Fenomena ini akan berdampak serius apabila berlangsung secara terus-menerus. Blue carbon (karbon biru) merupakan karbon yang diperangkap dan disimpan melalui proses fotosintesis oleh organisme autotrof dalam bentuk biomassa dan sedimen oleh ekosistem pesisir dan laut. Mangrove merupakan salah satu dari eksosistem sebagai blue carbon tersebut. Mangrove Register 15 merupakan suatu kawasan mangrove yang berada Kecamatan Pasir Sakti, Kabupaten Lampung Timur, Provinsi Lampung. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis karbon tersimpan pada tegakan, nek romassa, serasah, dan substrat mangrove. Penelitian dilakukan dari bulan Maret–Mei 2021. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan karbon tersimpan pada sedimen lebih besar dibandingkan dengan karbon tersimpan pada tegakan, nekromassa, dan serasah. Karbon tersimpan pada sedimen yang tertinggi berada pada sedimen yang memili ki ukuran liat kasar karena liat kasar dapat menyimpan unsur hara yang tinggi.  Climate change is caused by an increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) gas since the industrial revolution era where it is characterized by an increase in temperature, sea level, changes in rainfall patterns and increased extreme events such as floods, droughts, heat waves and storms. This phenomenon will have a serious impact if it continues. Blue carbon is carbon that is trapped and stored through the process of photosynthesis by autotrophic organisms in the form of biomass and sediment by coastal and marine ecosystems. Mangroves are one of these ecosystems as blue carbon. Mangrove Register 15 is a mangrove area located in Pasir Sakti District, East Lampung Regency, Lampung Province. This study aims to analyze the carbon stored in stands, nec romassa, litter, and mangrove substrates. The study was conducted from March–May 2021. The results showed that carbon stored in sediments was greater than carbon stored in stands, necromass, and litter. The highest carbon stored in sediments is in sediments that have the size of coarse clay because coarse clay can store high nutrients.

Authors: Zamira Hanna Aulia , Khadiyanta Parfi
Published: November 2022

Pariwisata perkotaan merupakan industri yang menawarkan keragaman, aksesibilitas, dan fleksibilitas yang dibuat atau dikelola secara khusus atau khusus untuk wisatawan. Wisatawan mengunjungi kota untuk berbagai keperluan baik sebagai daya tarik utama atau sebagai penyedia fasilitas pendukung yang tidak tersedia pada daerah pedesaan, terutama sistem transportasi dan akomodasi (Ashworth, 2012). Transportasi massal merupakan sebuah komponen penting pada pariwisata perkotaan dan disediakan oleh pemerintah setempat guna menambah total pengalaman wisata (Duval, 2011) dan mendukung strategi pembangunan kepariwisataan Kota Semarang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor dari sarana BRT yang berpengaruh terhadap Pengembangan Obyek Wisata Goa Kreo, dengan metode pendekatan kuantitatif dan melalui analisis antara lain merupakan Partial Least Square (PLS) dan Trendline. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah bahwasannya setiap variabel bebas penelitian yakni 1) Aksesibilitas BRT yang mencakupi jaringan jalan, kelengkapan signage dan ketersediaan sarana BRT, 2) Fasilitas BRT yang mencakupi sarana pelayanan BRT serta; 3) Ketertarikan dalam penggunaan BRT berpengaruh terhadap variabel terikat yakni aksesibilitas obyek wisata, fasilitas wisata dan intensi berkunjung yang merepresentasikan pengembangan obyek wisata Goa Kreo. Uji latent variabel correlations menunjukkan bahwa variabel bebas yang memilikki pengaruh terbesar adalah ketertarikan penggunaan BRT, karena mampu mendeskripsikan setiap variabel bebas dengan hasil luaran sebesar 0,622. Aksesibilitas BRT berpengaruh sebesar 0,555 dan Fasilitas BRT berpengaruh sebesar 0,395. Keterarikan penggunaan BRT merupakan variabel yang dipengaruhi indikator ketersediaan aksesibilitas dan fasilitas, serta hasil uji yang bernilai >0,2 menggambarkan pengaruh kuat terhadap variabel terikat.Adapun berdasarkan data pendukung dari hasil dari observasi lapangan, baik pengembangan dalam penggunaan BRT maupun obyek wisata Goa Kreo tersendiri belum terintegrasi terhadap faktor-faktor tersebut. Maka dari itu, penting bagi pengelola obyek wisata dan pihak Trans Semarang untuk memperhatikan dan mengevaluasi hasil dari analisis agar rencana konsep “Obyek Wisata yang Terintegrasi oleh Penggunaan BRT” dapat terealisasi dan berkembang secara optimal.

Is the prognosis of non‐hypertensive, COVID‐19 patients treated with renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitors more uncertain?
Authors: García Martínez Juan José , Wozniak Hannah , Salamin Pauline , Giraud Raphaël , Le Terrier Christophe , Bendjelid Karim
Published: November 2022

Previous studies suggested that ongoing treatment with renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitor drugs may alter the course of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and promote the development of more severe forms of the disease. The authors conducted a comparative, observational study to retrospectively analyze data collected from 394 patients admitted to ICU due to SARS‐CoV‐2 pneumonia. The primary aim of the study was to establish an association between the use of RAAS inhibitor drugs and mortality in the ICU. The secondary aims of the study were to establish an association between the use of RAAS inhibitor drugs and clinical severity at ICU admission, the need for tracheal intubation, total days of mechanical ventilation, and the ICU length of stay. The authors found no statistically significant difference in ICU mortality between patients on RAAS inhibitor drugs at admission and those who were not (31.3% versus 26.2% mortality, p‐value 0.3). However, the group of patients taking RAAS inhibitor drugs appeared to be more critical at ICU admission, and this difference became statistically significant in the subgroup of non‐hypertensive patients. ICU mortality in the subgroup of non‐hypertensive patients treated with RAAS inhibitor drugs also tended to be higher. Overexpression of the angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in human cells, induced by RAAS inhibitor drugs, promotes viral entry‐replication of SARS‐CoV‐2 and alters the basal balance of the RAAS, which may explain the findings observed in the present study. These phenomena may be amplified in non‐hypertensive patients treated with RAAS inhibitor therapy.
Szene im Kirschgarten: Zu einem Gedicht von Paul Celan, mit einem methodologischen Exkurs
Authors: Corbea-Hoisie Andrei
Published: November 2022

The reconstruction of the creation of Paul Celan’s posthumous poem “In meinem zerschossenen Knie” enables an examination of the complex network of elements of his own biography – the traces of formative readings, his identity questions projected in his positions towards Judaism and Zionism, the obsessional poetic motives etc. – from which the poet lets the lyrical text ‘coagulate.’ The relationship between the author’s genetically anticipated ‘message’ and the hermeneutic freedom in the interpretation of Celan’s poetry is also considered.
Beyond Thought’s Limits: Celan, Heidegger, and the Crooked Path of Art
Authors: Rahamim Asif
Published: November 2022

In this article I contend that Paul Celan’s poem, “Todtnauberg,” written as a follow up to his visit to Martin Heidegger’sBerghütte, should be read not only as a challenge to Heideggerian philosophy’s fundamental assumptions – primarily the notion of dwelling in the world via poetic language – but also to the very structure of philosophical thought, with its biases and inadequacies. Drawing on Celan’s idiosyncratic use of the termVerjudungI show its centrality in understanding the poem’s deconstructive move, as it applied to the binaries inherent to Heideggerian thought: pure/impure, indigenous/foreign, rooted/uprooted, and authentic/inauthentic. Posing the deconstructive qualities of the poetic against the crude decisiveness of philosophical thought, I argue that “Todtnauberg” ‘catches’ Heideggerian thought unprepared, as it presents it with its own blind spots, misconceptions, and loose ends, and thus rattles the very ground in which it seeks to ground itself.
An Aesthete in Despair: Reading Lolita through Kierkegaard’s Aesthetic Sphere of Existence
Authors: QotbAbadi Alireza Safari , Hashemi Mahsa
Published: November 2022

Since its publication in 1955, Vladimir Nabokov’s contentious novel Lolita has stirred heated controversies that originated from Nabokov’s treatment of a thorny subject matter. What makes his achievement so stupendous is that he penned a book about a forbidden desire and succeeded in persuading his reader to feel for the deviant. The present study intends to fathom Nabokov’s success in his art of deception drawing on Søren Kierkegaard’s existentialist ideologies of aestheticism and despair in order to offer a new insight regarding the elements used in Humbert’s narration and character which bestow upon him the distinctive personality of the aesthete. Referring to Kierkegaard’s spheres of existence introduced in his “Either/Or,” it is suggested that Humbert, similar to Kierkegaard’s Johannes, aesthetically alienates himself from commitment and consequence while keeping an eye open for the interesting and relishing sensual immediacy. It is this shrewd aestheticizing of Humbert’s character that grants him his unique status that has elicited both attraction and aversion.
Constitutional Courts’ Helpdesk: The Venice Commission’s Advisory Role in Constitutional Adjudication
Authors: Yolcu Serkan
Published: November 2022

This article aims to analyse how constitutional courts make use of advisory opinions of the European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission). Despite that national constitutional courts significantly engage with the advisory work of the Venice Commission, the causes and effects of this engagement remain less explored in constitutional law scholarship. In order to address this gap, this article, from a macro perspective, examines the case law in which the Venice Commission is referred to by constitutional courts, drawn from the Venice Commission’s constitutional adjudication database (CODICES). In addition, appropriate data from the case law of the Constitutional Court of Turkey is examined in particular to expand the scope of the research through micro lens. The article argues that constitutional advice has some advantages for constitutional judges given that it provides a strategic tool for determining reasoning. Despite its non-binding nature, the Venice Commission’s constitutional advice is occasionally considered by constitutional courts, depending on the strategic preferences of the courts, and the judges in a given jurisdiction.
Redistribution In A Globalized World
Authors: Agrawal David R. , Foremny Dirk
Published: November 2022

Due to technological change, the opening of borders, and increased economic integration, the financial costs of relocating businesses and factors of production, moving residences, changing jobs, and transporting goods and services across borders pose new challenges for countries and subnational governments seeking to implement redistributive policies. This increasing mobility across borders implies that redistributive policies may amplify interjurisdictional fiscal externalities. In this article, we selectively review the literature relating to redistributive policy in an open economy setting. We then consider some of the implications of globalization for policy design, both within federal systems and across countries. Although globalization poses new challenges for fiscal systems, it does not necessarily imply that redistributive policy becomes untenable and possibly enhances the need for redistribution.
Clinical and laboratory evaluation of children with congenital hyperinsulinism: a single center experience
Authors: Gundogdu Semra , Ciftci Mustafa , Atay Enver , Ayaz Akif , Ceran Omer , Atay Zeynep
Published: November 2022

Objectives

To evaluate and present the data regarding clinical, laboratory, radiological and the results of molecular genetic analysis of patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in our clinics.

Methods

A total of 9 patients with CHI followed at Istanbul Medipol University. Data related to gender, age at presentation, birth weight, gestational age, consanguinity, glucose and insulin levels at diagnosis, treatment modalities, response to treatment, the results of genetic analysis and radiological evaluation were gathered from the files.

Results

The oldest age at presentation was 6 months. KATP channel mutation was detected in 55% (n: 5). Diazoxide unresponsiveness was seen in 55% (n: 5). Octreotide was effective in 3 of them. 18F-DOPA PET performed in 4 diazoxide unresponsive patients revealed focal lesion in 3 of them. Spontaneous remission rate was 66% (n:6). All the patients with normal genetic result achieved spontaneous remission. Spontaneous remission was even noted in diazoxide unresponsive patients and in patients with focal lesion on 18F-DOPA PET.

Conclusions

Clinical presentation of patients with congenital hypereinsulinism is heterogeneous. Spontaneous remission rate is quite high even in patients with severe clinical presentation. It is important to develop methods that can predict which patients will have spontaneous remission. Reporting the clinical and laboratory data of each patient is important and will help to guide the management of patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.

Authors: de Pádua Borges Roberta , Avila Georgia Oliveira , Ritter Amanda Cunha , Alessi Janine , Reichelt Angela Jacob , Lucia da Rocha Oppermann Maria , Telo Gabriela Heiden , Schaan Beatriz D.
Published: November 2022

Objectives

To evaluate the indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the care of women with pregnancies complicated by gestational or pre-existing diabetes, and their maternal-fetal outcomes.

Methods

A cross-sectional panel data conducted in a University Hospital in Southern Brazil. Maternal-fetal outcomes and predictors of care from 235 pregnant women with type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes were evaluated. Two time periods were compared: six months preceding the pandemic, in 2019, and the COVID-19 period from September 2020 to March 2021. Comparisons were performed using analysis of variance, Mann–Whitney U, Fisher’s exact and T-tests. Risks were calculated using the Poisson regression with robust estimates.

Results

Maternal age was lower (32.1 ± 6.8 vs. 34.4 ± 6.6, p=0.009) and rates of depression/anxiety were higher (16.5 vs. 7.4%, p=0.046) in the group evaluated during the COVID-19. Neonatal hypoglycemia (RR 4.04; 95% CI 1.37–11.98, p=0.012), and SGA rates (RR 4.29; 95% CI 1.93–9.54, p<0.001) were higher in the group assessed before the pandemic.

Conclusions

Despite economic, social and structural impacts of the pandemic, parameters of maternal care were similar; diabetes control improved, and neonatal hypoglycemia and SGA rates were lower among pregnant women with diabetes during the pandemic.
Trophic structure and foraging strategies in a bat community in northern Pantanal, Brazil
Authors: de Oliveira Marcione Brito , Brandão Martha Lima , Cordeiro José Luís Passos , de Oliveira Luiz Flamarion Barbosa , Peracchi Adriano Lúcio
Published: November 2022

The influence of the landscape mosaic on the composition of the bat fauna regarding its trophic guild in a ranch area of northern Pantanal was evaluated. Seven trophic categories and five foraging strategies were found, composing 11 guild associations. Cluster analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) revealed the structure of the data and enabled a broader understanding of resource exploitation. The similarity between sites for the presence of guilds was moderate, with the presence of aerial insectivores and trawling insectivores occurring in most of them, mainly in pasture areas and in the cambará forest. Gleaning sedentary frugivores, gleaning nomadic frugivores, and gleaning nectarivores were present in almost all sites, most often in dense acuri palm forest. Frugivores were the most numerous at the individual level, followed by trawling insectivores and hematophagous. The similarities between groups ranged from low to moderate. Some subgroups identified in the analyzes showed high similarity, with strong congruences between sites. The areas used by cattle do not seem to restrict the use by some species of bats, especially those already proven to be associated with degraded areas. However, information is still lacking to predict which level of alteration is acceptable for the conservation of each guild and foraging strategy of bat species.
A pragmatic analysis of Shylock’s use ofthouandyou
Authors: Pojprasat Somboon
Published: November 2022

Shakespeare’s Shylock has been so debatable a character since its introduction to the English stage. According to the existing literature, there is an on-going debate as to whether this Jewish character is a villain or falls victim to the anti-Semitic community. The current study applies deictic theory of pronouns to examine the relationship between this character’s employment ofthouandyou, and his affect based on the hypothesis that a person’s use of pronouns, among other function words, can reveal their sense of self. Findings have shown that Shylock uses both pronouns in the normative way considerably more than in the pragmatic way; that he adheres to the normative use of the terms more than do his Christian counterparts; and that when he pragmatically uses them, expressions of his negative emotions often appear. Findings also suggest that (fictional) persons’ use of second-person pronouns reflects to some degree their sense of freedom and reciprocity relative to others. In this case, the rather restrictive and abusive employment ofthouandyouby the Jew indicates him being suppressed and alienated from society, which in turn drives him to wreak vengeance on the Christians – the culminating action that makes him meet his eventual downfall.

Authors: Elzoghby Amir A. , Haggag El Sayed A. , Roshdy Osama E. , Alhindawy Islam G. , Masoud Ahmed M.
Published: November 2022

Uranium removal from wet phosphoric acid is a vital process for food and environmental security. The incorporation of thiourea-formaldehyde into the kaolinite networks was performed to obtain an effective and acid-resistant sorbent. The prepared composite was applied for U(VI) uptake from crude phosphoric acid. X-ray diffraction, EDX, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared analyses were carried out to explore the properties of the yield composite. The sorption characteristics, i.e., capacity, kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic were investigated. The anticipated data declare that the reaction is fast whereas 60 min is sufficient to reach the equilibrium state. The experimental results obeyed to Pseudo second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum sorption capacity was about 5.8 mg g−1. Thermodynamic parameters displayed that the sorption process is endothermic, feasible, and spontaneous. The displayed results demonstrate that the prepared composite could be used as the proper material for producing eco-friendly fertilizers.

In a postmodernist manner, in Julian Barnes’s novel the present is a story to be completed by the readers based on their analysis and understanding of the past.We are not presented a certain truth of the past, which is associated with a snapshot and with a slide, but various interpretations of it in the characters’ stories.
A Double Colonization: The Case of the Arab Bedouin Woman in Fadia Faqir’s Pillars of Salt
Authors: Orouq Ayham Abu
Published: November 2022

This study scrutinizes Fadia Faqir’s Pillars of Salt by analyzing the various forms of violence against the protagonists, Maha and Hannyeh, their heterogeneous representation and their conditions within the cultural encounter between modernity and traditionality. Applying postcolonial feminism, the analysis of Faqir’s novel shows that colonization and patriarchy interact as double structures of oppression that produce cumulative forms of violence against the colonized women. It also shows that these women’s responses to oppressions are divergent: while Maha adopts unique strategies of self-empowerment that help her resist subordination, Hannyeh espouses limited ones that intensify her disempowerment. As for the encounter between modernity and traditionality, the analysis indicates that imperial colonization and its modernity have destructive consequences on the colonized nation: they blur both its social formation and cultural identity.
From Fidelity to Creativity: Translating Book Titles
Authors: Nicolae Cristina
Published: November 2022

The present paper reflects our interest and research in the field of marketing translation and addresses the pragmatic nature of title translation for literary works, continuing the analysis of two translation pillars we work with, as previously employed in a study we published on film title translation. As such, “fidelity” and “creativity” would frame the dynamic exchange that authenticates the linguistic particularization of titles as reader-oriented or content-oriented while making use of translation methods and procedures.
Cú Chulainn’s first arming and outing (cét-gabál gaiscid): Roman and Greek parallels for his slaying of three brothers (Horatius, the Curiatii and Heracles), “woman trouble” (Horatius and Coriolanus), and immersions (Diomedes and Odysseus)

Die Tötung der drei Söhne von Necht Scéne in Einzelkämpfen mit Cú Chulainn in seiner letzten ‘Jugendtat’ wurde schon in einer frühen Arbeit Dumézils (1942) mit dem legendären Kampf zwischen zwei Gruppen von Drillingen verglichen, in dem der einzige überlebende römische Horatius die drei Curiatii aus Alba Longa der Reihe nach umbrachte. Später (Dumézil 1956 und 1970) wurden diese und weitere Parallelen, vor allem die Siege von Trita ‘Drittem’ (dreier Brüder) und Herakles über dreiköpfige Ungeheuer in der indischen resp. griechischen Mythologie, unter den gemeinsamen Nenner ‘der Dritte erschlägt die Dreiheit’ gebracht und auf einen uridg. Mythos zurückgeführt: Dieser sei in den griechischen und indoiranischen Versionen am treuesten bewahrt, in den römischen und irischen jedoch zum Teil der rationalisierend-historischen (im Gegensatz zur mythologischen) Denkweise angepasst worden. Der vorliegende Beitrag stimmt weitgehend mit Dumézils Analyse überein, fügt aber einige Modifizierungen und Erweiterungen hinzu, vor allem: (1) Herakles’ Ermordung seiner drei Söhne (die naturgemäß Brüder waren), die für eine schon uridg. Variante mit drei erschlagenen menschlichen Brüdern neben dem Mythos der Tötung eines dreiköpfigen Ungeheuers spricht; (2) die Geschichte von Coriolanus, dessen Begegnung mit seiner eigenen Mutter und anderen römischen Matronen in mancher Hinsicht der Begegnung Cú Chulainns mit den Frauen von Ulster näher steht als der von Dumézil herangezogene Streit zwischen Horatius und seiner Schwester; (3) eine bisher unbeachtete Parallele für das dreifache Tauchen von Cú Chulainn in kaltes Wasser nach seiner Heimkehr am Ende seiner letzten Jugendtat, nämlich die dreiteilige (Seebad, Bad, Salbung) Abkühlung und Reinigung der griechischen Helden Diomedes und Odysseus nach ihrer Heimkehr aus einem erfolgreichen Ausflug im zehnten Buch der Ilias.
Welsh Yr Eifl: a trace of the Brittonic u-stem dual?
Authors: Sims-Williams Patrick
Published: November 2022

Der walisische Dual zieht typischerweise Lenition nach sich, wie zum Beispiel in y ddauddyn bresennol hyn ‚diese zwei anwesenden Personen‘. Obwohl er normalerweise durch das Zahlwort ‚zwei‘ verstärkt wird, ist eine Ausnahme gefell ‚Zwilling‘ (< lateinisch gemellus), dual yr efeilliaid ‚die Zwillinge‘ (mit Lenition, aber einer ahistorischen Pluralendung in einem o-Stamm). Eine weitere Ausnahme ist das Oronym Yr Eifl ‚die [zwei] Gabeln‘. Gafl (f.) hat im Britannischen eine etymologisch u-stämmige Pluralendung (walisisch gaflau, altbretonisch gablou). Es wird daher argumentiert, dass sein Dual ebenfalls u-stämmig < britannisch *gablī < keltisch *gablū sein könnte. Hier werden Belege für das vollständige Paradigma erbracht: sg. gafl, yr afl; pl. gaflau, y gaflau; dual geifl, yr eifl.
Jenseits religiöser Eindeutigkeit
Authors: Kara Cem
Published: November 2022

Vorliegende Abhandlung diskutiert die Frage ambiger Glaubensvorstellungen anhand historischer Überlieferungen im Alevitentum. Die Studie setzt einen produktionsästhetischen Fokus und eruiert die Motive und insbesondere die Intentionalität besagter Ambiguitäten. Hierfür zieht die Studie mit den Textsammlungen der sogenannten Buyruk-Tradition und der Poesie des safavidischen Schahs Ismail I. (1487–1524) zwei für Alevit:innen in Geschichte wie Gegenwart als konstitutiv geltende Quellen heran. Als thematisches Fallbeispiel werden Ideen zur zentralen alevitischen Heiligenfigur Imam Ali (600–661) besprochen. In beiden Quellenarten zeichnen sich mindestens drei deutlich voneinander unterscheidbare Ali-Vorstellungen ab, die in einem Spannungsverhältnis zueinander stehen. Neben der Auffächerung der einzelnen Ebenen der Ali-Vorstellung führt die Studie verschiedene Deutungsansätze an, die diese ambigen Glaubensvorstellungen erklären könnten. Dabei steht die Frage der Intentionalität der Ambiguitäten im Fokus – ob und welche Intentionen die Autoren mit der Integration mehrdeutiger Ideen verfolgt haben können. Neben vielen Ansätzen wird die Idee, dass die Autoren mit verschiedenen Konzepten unterschiedliche Adressat:innen ansprechen wollten, ausführlicher diskutiert.
Dis/abling Religion
Authors: Jelinek-Menke Ramona
Published: November 2022

How do religions and social order interact with each other? Scholars of religions have repeatedly explored this question from numerous perspectives. However, they have yet to utilise the approach of disability studies, which focuses on disability as a social ordering process, to address this question. As such, not only have the manifold empirical relationships between religions and disability often been disregarded, but a great theoretical potential also remains untapped. In this paper, I demonstrate what the study of religions can gain from analysing processes of disablement. In doing so, I introduce the concept of dis/abling religion, which integrates the study of religions and disability studies, making it possible to systematically grasp the entanglements between religions, disability, and social order.

CdS is a potential candidate for material in optoelectronic applications. The magnetic, electronic and optical properties of Ag- doped and Co -codoped CdS were calculated using full potential linear augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) based on popular density – functional theory (DFT). The band gap and density of states for Ag -doped and Cocodoped CdS have been determined by using Tran Blaha modified Becke-Johnson (TBmBJ) potential. The optical and electronic properties of Ag-doped and Co-codoped CdS such as absorption coefficient, energy loss function, reflectivity, refractive index, electrical conductivity and extinction coefficient are presented. The results indicate that the magnetic and electro-optical properties are improved by this doping.

Good light trapping is essential to make high efficiency InGaN-based solar cells. As InGaN wafers are being made increasingly, thinner, light trapping becomes even more important. In this study, we propose a structure of one-dimensional InGaN grating for the InGaN-based solar cells is proposed. The solar energy absorption characteristics of this structure are studied by the the Finite element method (FEM) method. By alternately altering the grating depth and the filling factor, a new type of grating structure is proposed. For such a structure, different gratings are studied. Numerical computation shows that the absorptance of the InGaN grating structure is over 0.88 throughout the entire computational band. The optimum parameters of the proposed structure are period (a = 480 nm), a filling factor (ff = 50 %) and depth (d=210 nm), which indicates the proposed structured surface may have potential applications in solar cells manufacturing.

Mitochondria are increasingly recognized as cellular hubs to orchestrate signaling pathways that regulate metabolism, redox homeostasis, and cell fate decisions. Recent research revealed a role of mitochondria also in innate immune signaling; however, the mechanisms of how mitochondria affect signal transduction are poorly understood. Here, we show that the NF‐κB pathway activated by TNF employs mitochondria as a platform for signal amplification and shuttling of activated NF‐κB to the nucleus. TNF treatment induces the recruitment of HOIP, the catalytic component of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC), and its substrate NEMO to the outer mitochondrial membrane, where M1‐ and K63‐linked ubiquitin chains are generated. NF‐κB is locally activated and transported to the nucleus by mitochondria, leading to an increase in mitochondria‐nucleus contact sites in a HOIP‐dependent manner. Notably, TNF‐induced stabilization of the mitochondrial kinase PINK1 furthermore contributes to signal amplification by antagonizing the M1‐ubiquitin‐specific deubiquitinase OTULIN. Overall, our study reveals a role for mitochondria in amplifying TNF‐mediated NF‐κB activation, both serving as a signaling platform, as well as a transport mode for activated NF‐κB to the nuclear.
