Andamiar la lectura y escritura de resúmenes en el área de Lingüística: Una experiencia en el grado de Educación Primaria
Authors: Blanco Fernández Juana María
Published: November 2023

Este trabajo expone el proceso y los resultados de la implementación del modelo Scaffolding Academic Literacy (SAL) en la asignatura Lingüística Aplicada a la Enseñanza, del grado en Educación Primaria de la Facultad de Educación de Toledo. Esta implementación pretendía favorecer el desarrollo de las competencias discursivas del estudiantado en los trabajos y exámenes escritos y se llevó a cabo en tres ciclos de investigación-acción, al término de los cuales se aportaron sugerencias de mejora de las estrategias didácticas que la constituyen y se evaluó su efecto mediante una investigación cuasiexperimental con diseño pretest-postest y grupo control no equivalente centrada en el análisis de la calidad de los resúmenes escritos de manera autónoma por los estudiantes. Se emplea la práctica discursiva del resumen porque constituye la última fase de la secuencia didáctica de la metodología, implica simultáneamente el desarrollo de las competencias en lectura y escritura y supone un andamiaje muy valioso para la adquisición del discurso académico y disciplinar universitario. Los resultados principales confirman la eficacia del modelo SAL en este contexto y, específicamente, muestran avances notables en la organización de párrafos y oraciones, aunque no en la conexión y estructuración informativa. De ahí la necesidad de seguir trabajando.
REFLEXIONES PARA DESPUÉS DE LA VIOLENCIA. AFECTOS, ÉTICAS DEL PERDÓN Y EL DEBER DE MEMORIA EN LAS NARRATIVAS DEL POSCONFLICTO VASCO: EL CASO DE MAIXABEL (2021)
Authors: ESER PATRICK
Published: November 2023

El ensayo analiza la película española Maixabel (2021) como una reflexión cinematográfica dentro del conjunto de las narrativas culturales del posconflicto vasco. Se analizan los encuentros restaurativos que están en el centro del relato del filme enfocando los personajes y sus relaciones. La interpretación de la situación dialógica entre víctima y victimarios y del lugar de la conmemoración del político asesinado por ETA, Juan María Jáuregui, constituyen los aspectos claves desde los que se lee la película. Los gestos cinematográficos hacia una justicia restaurativa que realiza Maixabel, están puestos en diálogo con las reflexiones acerca de la ética del perdón y la visión de una futura convivencia en paz que caracteriza el postconflicto vasco.
LA HIJRA DE LAS MENORES EN EL CINE FRANCÉS: LE CIEL ATTENDRA Y NE M’ABANDONNE PAS
Authors: GEORGEAULT LENA
Published: November 2023

En 2014, la marcha de varios adolescentes franceses hacia la zona sirio-iraquí alertó a la opinión pública sobre la captación de menores de edad por organizaciones yihadistas y despertó el interés de los cineastas.  Estrenadas en 2016 y centradas en chicas menores de edad cuyo deseo es hacer la hijra, las películas Le ciel attendra, de Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar, y Ne m’abandonne pas, de Xavier Durringer, constituyen dos percepciones sobre la hijra entre menores. Este artículo analiza las visiones reflejadas en los dos filmes y discute si estas dejan espacio para la crítica a las autoridades. Pretende así indagar sobre el papel de estas películas como aliadas de la democracia en la lucha contra el yihadismo e identificar los paradigmas que sustentan sus representaciones. El análisis concluye que los dos filmes asumen un importante compromiso social, puesto que constituyen obras divulgativas y herramientas de prevención y apuntan los fallos de las autoridades. Sin embargo, al coincidir directamente con las narrativas oficiales debido a la influencia de la antropóloga Dounia Bouzar, que colaboró tanto con el Gobierno de Francia en materia de prevención de la radicalización como con los realizadores de las películas, estas renuncian a la posibilidad de ampliar las perspectivas sobre el fenómeno. Más bien, se limitan a reproducir la visión de Dounia Bouzar, quien concibe la radicalización yihadista como un proceso de adoctrinamiento sectario, relativizando así la responsabilidad de las adolescentes radicalizadas.

ESENCIA, ESTÉTICA Y TÉCNICA EN EL CINE DE SOKÚROV
Authors: TORELLÓ JOSEP , KÉTLEROVA MARINA
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo trata la figura del director ruso Aleksandr N. Sokúrov, uno de los directores contemporáneos más importantes e influyentes a nivel internacional. A partir de una conversación que mantuvimos con el cineasta en Lenfilm, en San Petersburgo (Federación Rusa), se relacionan los conceptos filosóficos y estéticos de su propuesta artística con ejemplos concretos de su obra. Se tratan diferentes elementos conceptuales, formales y técnicos del universo artístico de Aleksandr Sokúrov: la idea metafísica de la existencia humana que expresa en sus filmes; sus innovaciones formales, tanto en el aplanamiento de la imagen como en el formato del encuadre; su concepción del lenguaje cinematográfico como, principalmente, un lenguaje plástico; su búsqueda del lenguaje propio del arte cinematográfico; su idea de la imposibilidad de separar lo documental de la ficción; su concepción del papel del arte en la sociedad, etcétera. El artículo está organizado en forma de un diálogo y alrededor de las siguientes grandes temáticas: la imagen y la tradición, la idea de la ficción y la literatura, y el papel del hombre ante la Historia.
LAS VÍCTIMAS DE ETA EN EL CINE DE LOS AÑOS OCHENTA EN TORNO AL TERRORISMO EN EL PAÍS VASCO
Authors: LABIANO JUANGARCÍA RONCESVALLES
Published: November 2023

Partiendo de la idea de que las películas son testigos y agentes de la Historia, se plantea un recorrido por el cine de los ochenta en torno al terrorismo en Euskadi desde la perspectiva de la representación de las víctimas de ETA. Se constata que, aunque se dieron algunos pasos adelante, la representación fue pobre y desequilibrada. Los damnificados por ETA tuvieron poca presencia, sobre todo en comparación con aquellos que sufrieron violencia por parte de los cuerpos policiales.

PEDAGOGÍA CRÍTICA Y APRENDIZAJE-SERVICIO EN LA UNIVERSIDAD NEOLIBERAL
Authors: Arias Loyola Martín , Vergara-Perucich José Francisco , Vega-Rojas Nicolás
Published: November 2023

Este texto describe una actividad de aprendizaje-servicio, implementada a partir del marco lógico de la pedagogía crítica en una universidad neoliberal. Ésta consistió en el pintado de fachadas del corazón social y político del macrocampamento Los Arenales, el asentamiento humano informal con mayor población y ocupación territorial de la Región de Antofagasta, Chile. Se describe la importancia de concientizar mediante la praxis crítica a docentes, discentes y comunidad para reconocer e impugnar la hegemonía neoliberal, cuyos efectos generan múltiples espacios de opresión urbana. El caso permite presentar con evidencia empírica cómo una praxis de aprendizaje-servicio, basada en una ética de ayuda mutua, contribuye a coproducir geografías inclusivas y justas para las y los oprimidos urbanos.
MEDICIÓN DE LA VULNERABILIDAD URBANA A PARTIR DEL CATASTRO: APLICACIÓN A LA CIUDAD DE VALLADOLID
Authors: Sánchez Ondoño Irene , Prada-Trigo José
Published: November 2023

Una de las consecuencias más estudiadas de la producción del espacio urbano es la aparición de sectores vulnerables en las ciudades. Este trabajo, a partir de una explotación novedosa de la información de la Sede Electrónica del Catastro, plantea la construcción y aplicación de un indicador sintético para medir la vulnerabilidad urbana a escala de parcela catastral. Para ello, como se justifica más adelante, toma como caso de estudio la ciudad de Valladolid. El método parte del diseño de una base de datos con variables de vivienda: antigüedad, superficie, valor catastral y tipología constructiva. Los resultados analizan la distribución individualizada de estas variables, la construcción de un índice sintético y un análisis de autocorrelación espacial. Esto permite aproximarse a la vulnerabilidad espacial desde una escala de detalle. Las conclusiones revelan la eficiencia de este tipo de análisis aplicados a las problemáticas urbanas, abriendo a su vez, nuevos temas de investigación.
MEJORA AMBIENTAL, MOVILIDAD SOCIAL Y DESPLAZAMIENTO RESIDENCIAL EN EL ENTORNO DE MADRID RÍO (2004-2019)
Authors: Galiana-Martín Luis
Published: November 2023

La tunelización de la autopista M-30 a lo largo del río Manzanares ha permitido la creación de un parque lineal de más de seis kilómetros sobre los terrenos liberados. Esta intervención ha supuesto una mejora ambiental para los barrios populares situados junto a la antigua vía y la recuperación para la ciudad de un espacio de alto valor simbólico. En el artículo se aborda si también ha desencadenado procesos de sustitución y desplazamiento residencial, con la llegada de población con mayores niveles de renta. Para ello se ha analizado la movilidad residencial antes y después de la inauguración del parque en 2011, en el contexto de los cambios sociodemográficos experimentados en el entorno. En una situación de marcada estabilidad, los procesos de sustitución y desplazamiento residencial han sido, por el momento, muy selectivos. Las características del parque de viviendas muestran un alto valor explicativo en el sentido y ritmo de los procesos de movilidad social experimentados.
Facing Uncertainty: The Philosophy of Divination in the Xici 繋辭
Authors: Hon Tze-ki
Published: November 2023

The Xici 繋辭 (Attached Verbalizations) is commonly considered as a pivotal text that transformed the 周易 ( Zhou Changes or the Book of Changes) from a manual of divination into a philosophical treatise. Yet in current scholarship, there is no consensus as to how to make sense of its authors’ argument that the Zhouyi provides a mantic method—particularly selecting hexagrams based on a counting of the yarrow stalks—to understand the working of the natural system and comprehend the intricacies of a developing event. In this essay, I will offer a reading of the Xici that shows how divination can be philosophically profound, and conversely, how philosophy can be made concrete through a practice of divination. In view of the uncertainty in our times—globally, regionally, socially, and individually—it is in our best interest to learn to see the world from the perspective of the Xici .

Published: November 2023

A narcissus-compensation method is proposed based on a mathematical model that connects the spherical aberration and the narcissus-induced temperature difference (NITD). Through non-sequential ray tracing analysis in ZEMAX, we simulate a compact, five-lens, long-wave infrared (LWIR) optical system with NITD as low as 0.7 mK.
Rapid calculation method for backscattered light of a space gravitational-wave detection telescope

Published: November 2023

Stray light is a key issue that must be considered in the TianQin telescope. To solve the problem of a long simulation time and the inability of the simulation results to be fed back to guide the optical design, we propose a fast estimation method for stray light based on the FOV with high accuracy. Compared to other models, the error between our model and the software simulation results is smaller, within one order of magnitude. Based on this method, we obtain the optical component target of the TianQin telescope and propose an optimization method to reduce stray light, which can be verified by analyzing the optimized optical design.
Research on the beam structures observed from X-ray optics in the far field
Authors: Hu Lingfei , Wang Hongchang , Sutter John P. , Sawhney Kawal
Published: November 2023

For advanced X-ray sources such as synchrotron radiation facilities and X-ray free electron lasers, a smooth, structure-free beam on the far-field plane is usually strongly desired. The formation of the fine structures in far-field images downstream from imperfect optics must be understood. Although numerous studies have discussed the impacts on focused beams, there are still few quantitative theories for the impacts on beams in the far field. This article is an advance on our previous work, which discussed the uniformity of the intensity distribution in the far field. Here, a new theoretical approach is presented. It not only eases the assumptions needed to relate the fine structures to the wavefront curvature, but it also provides a quantitative estimation of the impacts of optical errors. The theoretical result is also verified by X-ray experiments.
Fourier modal method for inverse design of metasurface-enhanced micro-LEDs
Authors: Schubert Martin F. , Hammond Alec M.
Published: November 2023

We present a simulation capability for micro-scale light-emitting diodes (µLEDs) that achieves comparable accuracy to CPU-based finite-difference time-domain simulation but is more than 107 times faster. Our approach is based on the Fourier modal method (FMM)—which, as we demonstrate, is well suited to modeling thousands of incoherent sources—with extensions that allow rapid convergence for µLED structures that are challenging to model with standard approaches. The speed of our method makes the inverse design of µLEDs tractable, which we demonstrate by designing a metasurface-enhanced µLED that doubles the light extraction efficiency of an unoptimized device.
Corrective feedback guides human perceptual decision-making by informing about the world state rather than rewarding its choice
Authors: Lee Hyang-Jung , Lee Heeseung , Lim Chae Young , Rhim Issac , Lee Sang-Hun
Published: November 2023

Corrective feedback received on perceptual decisions is crucial for adjusting decision-making strategies to improve future choices. However, its complex interaction with other decision components, such as previous stimuli and choices, challenges a principled account of how it shapes subsequent decisions. One popular approach, based on animal behavior and extended to human perceptual decision-making, employs “reinforcement learning,” a principle proven successful in reward-based decision-making. The core idea behind this approach is that decision-makers, although engaged in a perceptual task, treat corrective feedback as rewards from which they learn choice values. Here, we explore an alternative idea, which is that humans consider corrective feedback on perceptual decisions as evidence of the actual state of the world rather than as rewards for their choices. By implementing these “feedback-as-reward” and “feedback-as-evidence” hypotheses on a shared learning platform, we show that the latter outperforms the former in explaining how corrective feedback adjusts the decision-making strategy along with past stimuli and choices. Our work suggests that humans learn about what has happened in their environment rather than the values of their own choices through corrective feedback during perceptual decision-making.

Student loyalty generally refers to the formed bond between the student and a university. This relationship between a university and its students proves essential in a university’s success in the competitive field of higher education institutions. The aim of this study was to determine the factors affecting students’ loyalty among high school students to pursue their college or higher education in their current universities by utilizing Self-Determination Theory and Extended Theory of Planned Behavior. A total of 1224 high school students voluntarily participated and answered an online questionnaire that consist of 80 questions. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) showed that competency had the highest direct significant effect on perceived behavioral control which subsequently led to student satisfaction, followed by relatedness and empathy. In addition, student satisfaction had the highest direct effect significant effect on student loyalty, followed by university image and effectiveness. Interestingly, university ranking, programs offered, and kinship patronage also had significant indirect effects on student loyalty. This new framework may be a theoretical foundation for universities to enhance student loyalty and student recruitment. Considering students as customers, the satisfaction of students would result in an increase in the application which would present an increase in population, sales, marketability, and profitability of the university.

Periostin, a secreted matricellular protein, has been implicated in cardiac extracellular matrix remodeling and fibrosis. Evidence suggest that periostin stimulates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. The current study aims to investigate the extent of periostin expression in patients with advanced Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and its correlation with fibrosis and hallmark histopathological features of the disease. Interventricular septal tissue from thirty-nine HCM patients who underwent myectomy and five controls who died from non-cardiac causes was obtained. Staining with Masson’s Trichrome and immunohistochemistry were used to localize fibrosis and periostin respectively. The extent of fibrosis and the expression of periostin were defined as the stained percentage of total tissue area using digital pathology software. Periostin expression was higher in HCM patients compared to controls (p<0.0001), positively correlated with the extent of fibrosis (r = 0.82, p<0.001), positively correlated with maximal interventricular septal thickness (Rho = 0.33, p = 0.04) and negatively correlated with LVEF (r = -0.416, p = 0.009). Periostin was approximately co-localized with fibrosis. Mean periostin expression was lower in patients with mild grade cardiomyocyte hypertrophy compared to those with moderate grade (p = 0.049) and lower in patients with mild grade replacement fibrosis compared to moderate grade (p = 0.036). In conclusion, periostin is overexpressed in advanced HCM, correlated with fibrosis and possibly related to cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.
A retrospective study of vector borne disease prevalence among anemic dogs in North Carolina
Authors: Anderson Katie L. , Birkenheuer Adam , Moore George E. , Kendall Allison
Published: November 2023

Background

Anemia is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in dogs. Further understanding of the prevalence of vector borne diseases (VBD) in anemic dogs is needed.

Objectives

The objective of this retrospective study was to describe the rate of exposure to or infection with VBD among anemic dogs presented to a teaching hospital in North Carolina and to further characterize the anemia in dogs with VBD exposure.

Animals

A total of 597 anemic dogs that were concurrently tested for VBD were examined at a referral veterinary hospital between January 2012 and December 2018.

Methods

Retrospective descriptive study. Demographic, clinicopathologic, and VBD testing data were obtained from medical records.

Results

Of the 597 anemic dogs examined, 180 (30.15%; 95% CI: 26.49–34.01%) tested positive for one or more VBD. There was no difference in the severity of anemia or the proportion of dogs displaying a regenerative anemia between dogs testing positive and negative for VBD.

Conclusions

A large proportion of anemic dogs from this region test positive for exposure to or infection with VBD. Our study supported the use of PCR and serology run in parallel to maximize the chance of detecting exposure to or infection with VBD compared to either serology or PCR alone. At this time, it is unknown whether infection with VBD contributed to the development of anemia in these patients. However, given the prevalence of VBD exposure in anemic dogs, testing for VBD in anemic patients from this region of the United States is warranted.
Factors affecting the relapse of maxilla and soft tissues of nose, upper lip and velopharyngeal structures after maxillary advancement in cleft patients
Authors: Chaisiri Sirada , Arayasantiparb Raweewan , Boonsiriseth Kiatanant
Published: November 2023

The objectives of this study were to find the factors affecting the relapses after maxillary advancement in cleft patients. This retrospective study included 25 cleft patients. The serial lateral cephalograms were used for the evaluation of the maxilla and the soft tissue relapses in 1-year post-operative period. The skeletal relapse rate correlated with the amount of skeletal movement only in horizontal direction (r = 0.483, p = 0.015). The patients with significant skeletal relapse did not have different amount of soft tissue relapses when compared to the patients without significant skeletal relapse, except for the A’ point. Relapses of the soft tissue parameters of the upper lip and nose were correlated with the upper incisor tip position horizontally and vertically. When comparing the patients who underwent maxillary distraction (DO) with the patients who underwent conventional orthognathic surgery (CO), the DO group had greater NLA relapse and increase of pharyngeal depth than the CO group.
Compound and ambiguous meanings in Danish cross-dressing comedies
Authors: Hartvigson Niels Henrik
Published: November 2023

Focusing on two Danish cross-dressing comedies, Min Kone er Husar! (‘My wife is a hussar!’) (1935) and Solstik (‘Sunstroke’) (1953), the article investigates various strategies for playing with and challenging sexual identity and gender to create compound and ambiguous meanings. In view of the comedy genre’s self-conscious openness to performance and intertextuality, the meaning of the main character’s cross-dressing on a plot level may be modified or contradicted by the actor’s star persona. That supporting characters may be transgressive in their own right points to the pervasiveness of sexuality and gender play in cross-dressing comedies. Fictional settings underscore this perception; they are not mere backdrops, but seem to actively invite identity play and rule bending.

This book presents a general overview about PSA in Europe. However, it was not intended to provide a full overview about the PSA systems in each member state in the EU. Instead, the objective was to provide insights into different views of PSA in Europe primarily focusing on the former DiEPSAm project partner countries (Austria, Germany, Finland, Portugal, and the UK). Therefore, this is not a book about (the future) EPSAS. Nevertheless, these final remarks open up the possibility of drawing conclusions for the EPSAS project.

Different Perspectives in Public Sector Accounting Harmonisation: IFRS, IPSAS and GFS
Authors: Dabbicco Giovanna
Published: November 2023

In order to compare financial information across companies, organisations, and public sector entities, accounting standards and accounting practices have to be harmonised. For this purpose, first, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have been developed for the preparation of general purpose financial statements (GPFS) of profit-oriented entities. Some governments also have based their national public sector accounting standards on IFRS. Furthermore, public sector accounting could be harmonised at the global level by adopting the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). Finally, Government Finance Statistics (GFS) provide a set of macroeconomic statistics on financial operations, financial and liquidity positions, especially of the general government sector, and support fiscal analysis. This chapter describes these different perspectives and refers to challenges associated with accounting harmonisation.

INTRODUCTION:

Hospitalized patients with cirrhosis can develop respiratory failure (RF), which is associated with a poor prognosis, but predisposing factors are unclear.

METHODS:

We prospectively enrolled a multicenter North American cirrhosis inpatient cohort and collected admission and in-hospital data (grading per European Association for the Study of Liver-Chronic Liver Failure scoring system, acute kidney injury [AKI], infections [admission/nosocomial], and albumin use) in an era when terlipressin was not available in North America. Multivariable regression to predict RF was performed using only admission day and in-hospital events occurring before RF.

RESULTS:

A total of 511 patients from 14 sites (median age 57 years, admission model for end-stage liver disease [MELD]-Na 23) were enrolled: RF developed in 15%; AKI occurred in 24%; and 11% developed nosocomial infections (NI). At admission, patients who developed RF had higher MELD-Na, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding/AKI-related admission, and prior infections/ascites. During hospitalization, RF developers had higher NI (especially respiratory), albumin use, and other organ failures. RF was higher in patients receiving albumin (83% vs 59%, P < 0.0001) with increasing doses (269.5 ± 210.5 vs 208.6 ± 186.1 g, P = 0.01) regardless of indication. Admission for AKI, GI bleeding, and high MELD-Na predicted RF. Using all variables, NI (odds ratio [OR] = 4.02, P = 0.0004), GI bleeding (OR = 3.1, P = 0.002), albumin use (OR = 2.93, P = 0.01), AKI (OR = 3.26, P = 0.008), and circulatory failure (OR = 3.73, P = 0.002) were associated with RF risk.

DISCUSSION:

In a multicenter inpatient cirrhosis study of patients not exposed to terlipressin, 15% of patients developed RF. RF risk was highest in those admitted with AKI, those who had GI bleeding on admission, and those who developed NI and other organ failures or received albumin during their hospital course. Careful volume monitoring and preventing nosocomial respiratory infections and renal or circulatory failures could reduce this risk.

Authors: Mosel Michael , Müllerleile Tobias
Published: November 2023

Aufgrund ihrer Popularität werden Computerspiele mittlerweile wissenschaftlich als ein zentrales Leitmedium der Gegenwartskultur in den Blick genommen. Dessen ungeachtet fristen entsprechende Titel in den Beständen wissenschaftlicher Bibliotheken noch ein Nischendasein. Um Forschung und Lehre über und mit Spielen optimal zu unterstützen, hat sich die Universitätsbibliothek Marburg daher dazu entschlossen, ein Game Lab einzurichten. Der Beitrag beleuchtet die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen organisatorischer, rechtlicher und technischer Art und gibt einen Ausblick auf Nutzungsszenarien und Entwicklungsperspektiven.
Bibliotheken als praxeologische Begegnungsräume. Umrisse einer Laborkultur für die digitalen Geisteswissenschaften
Authors: Mischke Dennis
Published: November 2023

Dieser Beitrag präsentiert ein an der Universitätsbibliothek der Freien Universität Berlin entwickeltes Konzept zur Etablierung einer Laborkultur für die interdisziplinäre Forschung in den digitalen Geisteswissenschaften. Dieses wurde im Rahmen des erfolgreich etablierten Ada Lovelace Center for Digital Humanities (ADA) getestet und in den vergangenen zwei Jahren exemplarisch realisiert. Der Artikel beginnt mit einer Kurzvorstellung des Zentrums, beleuchtet anschließend das Verhältnis von Forschung und Interdisziplinarität in den Digital Humanities und thematisiert schließlich die Frage nach Forschungsinfrastrukturen im digitalen und datengetriebenen Zeitalter. Anhand eines Praxisberichts aus einem der thematisch-methodischen Labore des ADA werden Möglichkeiten der interdisziplinären Begegnung von Forschenden, auch aus weit auseinanderliegenden Disziplinen, diskutiert und schematisch skizziert.
Konsortiale digitale Langzeitarchivierung für Wissenschaft, Kultur und Gedächtnisinstitutionen
Authors: Majewski Stefan , Kann Bettina
Published: November 2023

Mit der fortschreitenden Digitalisierung entwickelte sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten ein steigendes Bewusstsein für die Herausforderungen bei der langfristigen Erhaltung der Informationen. Dies ist auch im vollen Umfang in den Kultur- und Gedächtnisinstitutionen angekommen, die in unterschiedlichem Ausmaß in der Lage sind, eigenständig diesen Anforderungen nachzukommen. Die Österreichische Bibliothekenverbund und Service GmbH bietet seit Juni 2022 „Digitale Langzeitarchivierung“ als konsortialen Dienst an. Die Eckpunkte eines konsortial geeigneten Produkts wurden in einer europaweiten Ausschreibung gemeinsam mit der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek als Erstkunden festgelegt. Die Implementierung des Dienstes auf Basis des Produkts Libsafe von Libnova erfolgte ebenfalls gemeinsam mit der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek in einem mehrmonatigen Projekt.

Der Artikel behandelt die für einen konsortialen Betrieb notwendigen Anforderungen, deren technische Umsetzung, erforderlichen Komponenten und Funktionalitäten, sowie organisatorische und wirtschaftliche Aspekte. Insbesondere die Rolle einer Verbundzentrale als Dienstleister wird herausgearbeitet. So werden die Möglichkeiten beschrieben, zentral Kompetenzen, Wissen und Infrastruktur zu bündeln, um einem breiten Spektrum an Institutionen digitale Langzeitarchivierung (LZA) zu ermöglichen. Der Service richtet sich daher ausdrücklich auch an Institutionen, die nicht Mitglieder des österreichischen Bibliothekenverbundes sind. Die enge Kooperation mit dem Kunden steht dabei im Zentrum. Der Dienst umfasst den kompletten Betrieb der erforderlichen Hard- und Software sowie Konfiguration des Langzeitarchivierungssystems, Datenanalyse, Einrichten geeigneter Archivierungspläne und Workflows.
OPC UA client-server connection over an ISO 11783 vehicle network
Authors: Brodie Samuel , Oksanen Timo
Published: November 2023

As long as all of the messages are supported, the OPC UA standard allows for connections over non-IP networks, and for the use of alternate encoding schemes. However, the vast majority of commercial OPC UA solutions are IP-based and UA Binary-based. In this article, the performance of an OPC UA client-server architecture is analysed by sending UA binary-encoded messages over an ISO 11783 (CAN 2.0B) network, without security. It is found that sending and receiving a given readRequest/readResponse pair took an average of 1.3 ms via a local Ethernet network and 49.2 ms via an ISO 11783 network. It is shown that much of the preamble of OPC UA messages is fixed when using the None security policy, and that this information can be omitted from the data transfer to reduce the amount of data transferred.
Reinvestigating the U.S. Consumption Function: A Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lags Approach
Authors: Ebadi Esmaeil , Are Wasiu
Published: November 2023

This article examines the asymmetric aspect of U.S. consumption using disaggregated quarterly consumption expenditure data, including durables, nondurables, and services from 1994 to 2019. We apply a novel nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag analysis considering a regime-switching mechanism and find that U.S. consumers behave differently during economic upturns and downturns, with asymmetry existing for the consumption of durables (in the long run) and services (in both the short and long-run), but not for nondurables. Since services account for more than 40% of U.S. aggregate output, the slow adjustment toward equilibrium and the elasticity less than unity proves that services are more of a necessity than a luxury for U.S. consumers. The results indicate that the consumption of services is the primary determinant of U.S. consumer behavior, and monetary policy has a limited effect on U.S. consumption.

Published: November 2023

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), an eco-friendly biomass resource capable of replacing petroleum-based fuels, is gaining increasing popularity. In this article, 2,5-FDCA was prepared by liquid-phase oxidation of the sustainable precursor 5-hydroxymethylfurfural using the Co–Mn–Br catalyst system. The effects of catalyst concentration, catalyst ratio, reaction temperature, reaction time, reaction pressure, and solvent ratio on the reaction of FDCA were investigated. The products are subjected to qualitative and quantitative analyses using high-performance liquid chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, and hydrogen nuclear magnetic spectroscopy. Moreover, considering the loss of catalytic liquid, the suitable reaction conditions were determined as follows: n(Co)/n(Mn)/n(Br) = 1/0.04/0.5, n(HMF)/n(HAC) = 0.05, reaction temperature of 170°C, reaction pressure of 2 MPa, reaction time 40 min, and airflow rate 1.0 L·min−1. Under these conditions, the yield of the product is 86.01%, the purity is 97.53%, and the loss of the catalytic liquid is about 5.63%, which is at an ideal level and provides a good basis for the recovery of the subsequent catalytic liquid and multiple cycle reactions. Through the optimization of the existing process, the use of noble metal catalysts has been reduced, and the recycling of catalytic liquid has also reduced the consumption of catalysts. This advancement marks a significant stride toward sustainable development in the green chemical industry.
Value addition of mushrooms by incorporation in the food products: an overview
Authors: Dhanapal Dhanaraja , Rajoo Baskar
Published: November 2023

Mushrooms are functional food that substantially has both nutritional and medicinal properties. The mushroom types like button, oyster, shiitake and enoki are consumed worldwide either directly in food or fortified with other food products. The principal purpose of fortification is to maintain the intrinsic properties of the food like taste, appearance, and texture and enhance their nutritional and mineral values. The level of fortification depends on the factors like safety, compatibility, and cost considerations. This paper reviews the possibilities of fortified food products with different mushrooms. The usage of mushrooms, their nutritional profile, suggested composition of mushroom powder and enhanced nutrition of fortified food products like bread, biscuits, cookies, noodles, pasta, soup etc., are discussed. Additionally, mushrooms are valuable material for preparing chutney powders, nuggets, jam, jellies, and the production of indigenous cosmetic items actively uses mushrooms’ bioactive chemicals.
Behaviour of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) structural profile columns under axial compression

Published: November 2023

Glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) structural profiles in the construction industry are a promising alternative to conventional building materials due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, high tensile strength, insulation properties, chemical resistance, fatigue properties, and lower maintenance cost. This study aims to evaluate the compression behaviour of semi-compact and slender glass fiber-reinforced plastic I-sections. Short, intermediate, and long columns of both slender and semi-compact I-sections were subjected to axial compression, and the experimental capacity was compared to available theoretical results. It was found that the experimental capacity of short, semi-compact, and long columns were 27 %, 49 %, and 40 % lower than the theoretical capacity of semi-compact I-sections. Short slender sections had an ultimate experimental capacity 55 % greater than the theoretical results. However, lower ultimate capacities were achieved for intermediate and long columns in the case of slender sections when compared to the theoretical capacity. Slender sections were prone to both global and local buckling, whereas semi-compact sections failed by global buckling alone. The study also concludes the need for proper section classification of glass fiber-reinforced plastic sections to consider buckling characteristics. The existing theoretical equations to estimate the load-carrying capacity was found to be overly conservative; hence it is necessary to conduct numerical and parametric studies to develop equations that are more in agreement with the experimental results.
Deverbal psych nominals and nominative-accusative object case alternation in Japanese: an experimental study
Authors: Fukuda Shin
Published: November 2023

Japanese psychological nouns (psych nouns)suki‘like’ andkirai‘dislike’ mark their objects with nominative or accusative case, but it is unclear what circumstances make accusative objects acceptable. Two acceptability judgment experiments manipulating object case, object animacy, and the psych nouns’ syntactic environment (copular, inchoative, relative clause) show significantly lower acceptability of accusative than nominative objects in copular and relative clauses, but no significant difference in inchoative clauses. A proposed account for these findings is that psych nouns can be nominalized VoicePs, in which case their projections contain external and event arguments and their objects are accusative-licensed, or nominalized VPs, in which case no external or event argument is available, and their objects are caseless and marked with nominative as the default case. The experiments also reveal a significant interaction between object animacy and case withsuki‘like’, suggesting the possibility that this is an emerging differential object-marking. (148)
