Le Grand Centenaire en Belgique
Authors: Van Ypersele Laurence
Published: December 2023

Les commémorations du centenaire de la Première Guerre mondiale suscitent un retour de la mémoire collective en Belgique, comme ailleurs, qui n’est pas seulement orchestré par un battage médiatique sans précédent. En effet,

l’ampleur des commémorations a dépassé toutes les prévisions. Dans cet article, on envisagera ces commémorations à la fois au plan politique, cognitif et commercial tant en Flandre qu’en Wallonie et à Bruxelles. On verra que si les intentions politiques en Flandre et en Wallonie étaient clairement différentes, voire en tension, les attentes du public,

qu’il soit du nord ou du sud du pays, l’étaient beaucoup moins. Enfin, on interrogera la place que les historiens ont pu avoir dans la préparation de ces commémorations.
Tout ce que vous avez toujours voulu savoir sur l’histoire des entreprises (sans jamais oser le demander à la Bibliothèque nationale de France)
Authors: Bogaert Sébastien
Published: December 2023

La Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) propose des sources nombreuses et variées pour l’histoire des entreprises : monographies et périodiques imprimés, avec notamment, mais pas uniquement, la totalité du dépôt légal français. Gallica, la bibliothèque numérique de la BnF, propose des parcours thématiques, dont un sur les «Essentiels de l’économie » , avec une rubrique portant sur l’histoire des entreprises. La BnF met également à la disposition des chercheurs des ressources moins connues : enregistrements sonores et vidéos, sites web collectés depuis 1996, ressources en lignes souscrites, études de marché, etc. Beaucoup de ces sources sont encore peu exploitées et constituent un matériau intéressant pour les chercheurs.
Heureux comme un entrepreneur belge en France ? Les investissements de quelques groupes belges dans l’Hexagone à travers leurs archives
Authors: Moreau Jean-Louis
Published: December 2023

Dès le XIXe siècle, les relations financières et industrielles entre la Belgique et la France ont été denses et diversifiées. Rien d’étonnant à ce que l’on retrouve dans les archives des entreprises belges, nombre de fonds et dossiers relatifs à des entreprises françaises. Sans prétendre aucunement faire l’histoire des investissements belges dans l’Hexagone, l’auteur présente quelques pistes archivistiques tirées des fonds traités depuis trente-cinq ans par l’Association pour la valorisation des archives d’entreprises (AVAE) qui pourraient intéresser le chercheur français. Les exemples évoqués devraient permettre d’aborder sur la longue durée l’étude des investissements belges en France, à travers des questions comme la résistance française aux immixtions d’entreprises belges dans le paysage économique hexagonal, la politique d’alliance locales que les groupes belges ont développée pour pallier cette résistance ou le transfert nord-sud de technologies nouvelles et de capitaux.
LEGAL NATURE OF AUTHORITIES OF THE STAROSTINY AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF RESIDENTS OF THE CORRESPONDING STAROSTINY DISTRICT
Authors:   Educational and Scientific Institute of Law, of Sumy State University, Starynskyi M.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the legal nature of the authority of the starosta as a representative of the residents of the corresponding starosta district. Based on the analysis of scientific research, the author proves that the existence of local self-government bodies is an integral tradition of our state. Today in Ukraine, the primary subject of local self-government, the main bearer of its functions and powers is the territorial community of a village, town, or city. At the same time, the representative bodies of primary subjects are village, settlement, and city councils. The representation of residents of individual communities is objectified in the institution of the headman as an official of local self-government. The author analyzed the current legislation of Ukraine and proved that the authority of the headman has a representative nature. In particular, the author investigated the peculiarities of the legal nature of the established competence of the headman. He, on the basis of a systematic analysis of the established powers of the headman, divided them into five groups: a) the powers are directed to the direct representation of the interests of community members in local authorities; b) the powers are directed to providing direct assistance to the residents of the territorial community: c) the powers are directed to the financial support of the realization of the rights and interests of the residents of the territorial community; d) powers are directed to the organization of implementation of decisions of local authorities and control over their implementation; e) authority to ensure the implementation of own authority. The author proves that the vast majority of the powers included in the selected groups are aimed at ensuring the interests of the residents of the territorial community, which, accordingly, testify to their representative nature. Key words: local self-government, local authorities, local self-government bodies, headman, competence.

PANC-1 is a human pleiomorphic epithelioid carcinoma of the exocrine pancreas. Previous studies in our laboratory provided evidence that these cells can be manipulated into insulin-producing cells by altering the culture medium with increasing amounts of glucose. There is a paucity in the literature regarding cytomorphologic characteristics of PANC-1 cells under normal culture conditions and when challenged with increased amounts of glucose. The goal of this experiment was to evaluate the nuclear and cytoplasmic characteristics of PANC-1 cells. Initially, cells were grown in flasks with a control medium and then split into four separate groups containing control media or media containing an extra 1%, 2.5%, or 5% glucose. Cells from the three cultures were plated (1 x 105 cells/well) and treated with control, 1%, 2.5%, or 5% glucose for 24, 48, and 72 hours. Cells and supernatants were harvested, and cell number and cytomorphology were compared at all phases. Nominal data were analyzed using non-parametric statistics calculating mean ranks to compare all four groups using the Kruskal-Wallace H statistic. While we saw statistically significant differences in most variables by glucose concentration at 24-, 48-, and 72-hours, the most telling was the increased glucose concentration detected by immunohistochemistry at all three phases rising from baseline, peaking at 2.5% glucose concentration, and rapidly declining to baseline levels indicating an inhibiting or toxic effect at 5% extra glucose (p<.0.05). This pattern was also consistent in the cytomorphologic changes observed as glucose concentrations increased and were more apparent by the 72-hour phase. This study contributes valuable quantitative data regarding the viability and function of PANC-1 cells as insulin-producing cells with increasing glucose challenge and demonstrates that PANC-1 or similar cells can be further engineered into useful components in drug delivery applications.

Published: December 2023

The world’s growing demand for energy and our concern to preserve the environment have prompted research into alternative sources of energy. Renewable energy from biomass is one such opportunity. The aim of this study is to model the production of biogas from the anaerobic digestion of plantain and yam peelings and cattle dung. A characterisation of these residues showed their good suitability for methanisation with good moisture contents (˃70%), high volatile solids contents (˃75%) and C/N ratios of between 20 and 30. In addition, methanisation trials under mesophilic conditions following a mixing plan generated quantities of biogas ranging from 128 to 565 mL with CH4 contents of between 54.03 and 72.98%. The digester made up of 1/6 plantain peels + 2/3 yam peels + 1/6 cattle dung gave the best biogas yield with 565 mL for 67.52% CH4. The model established from these results is highly significant with an F value (1268.01) having a probability significantly lower than 0.05. In addition to the coefficients R2 (0.9994) and R2 (0.9986) which adjust are very close to unity, there is a good correlation between the experimental results and those predicted. This prediction model is therefore reliable for explaining biogas production. However, further study of the kinetics of anaerobic digestion and biogas treatment remains important.

Authors: Pramudita Brahmantya Aji , Aprillia Bandiyah Sri , Rizal Achmad
Published: December 2023

Sistem pengering tipe efek rumah kaca (ERK) bekerja dengan memanfaatkan energi panas matahari. Cara kerja tersebut memiliki kekurangan karena sangat bergantung pada cuaca untuk mendapatkan energi panas matahari secara maksimal. Kekurangan tersebut dapat mengganggu proses pengeringan hasil pengolahan produk perkebunan, khususnya gaplek. Oleh karena itu, tungku biomassa ditambahkan untuk mengatasi ketergantungan terhadap energi panas matahari. Hasil sistem pengering hibrida yang diusulkan mampu mengendalikan suhu di bawah 60â„ƒ. Selain itu, nilai kelembapan dapat mencapai titik minimum 16% ketika suhu mencapai titik maksimum 57â„ƒ. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan sistem mampu memberikan udara kering yang banyak karena sistem pengering ERK dilengkapi dengan exhaust fan. Sehingga gaplek dapat kering sesuai dengan mutu yang diinginkan. Kemudian, biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk pengoperasian sistem pengering hibrida yang diusulkan sangat murah, yaitu Rp 158.194, 65 per tahun.

Published: December 2023

The batch adsorptive sequestration of methylene blue from an aqueous solution using unripe Roystonea regia fruit pericarp biomass was investigated in this study. The characteristic nature of the biosorbent was studied using various analytical instruments including Fourier Transform Infra-red spectrophotometer, Scanning Electron Microscope, Energy Dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffractometer, and the Brunauer-Emmett Teller. The adsorption study was perfomed at different experimental conditions including pH, contact time, initial dye concentration, temperature, agitation speed, and biosobent dose. From the results of this study, the optimum biosorption of MB was achieved at 120 min contact time, pH 10, room temperature (298 K), 150 rpm agitation speed and dosage of 100 mg/150 mL dye solution. With 132.30 mgg-1 maximum sorption capacity, the Langmuir isotherm best describes the biosorption equilibrium data. At all initial concentrations, the biosorption kinetics of methylene blue onto the biosorbent fitted best to the pseudo-second order kinetics model, with R2 values ≥ 0.999 and qcal being similar to the qexp. The kinetics study also showed the involvement of intra-particle diffusion in the rate-determining step; although not as the sole limiting step of the sorption process. The results of the thermodynamics study showed the high feasibility, spontaneity, and exothermic nature of the biosorption of methylene blue onto the biosorbent. This study concludes that Roystnea regia fruit pericarp would make an economically viable and renewable biosorbent for practical eco-friendly sequestration of MB dye from wastewaters.
Low-temperature process design for inversion mode n-channel thin-film-transistor on polycrystalline Ge formed by solid-phase crystallization
Authors: Huang Linyu , Moto Kenta , Igura Kota , Ishiyama Takamitsu , Toko Kaoru , Wang Dong , Yamamoto Keisuke
Published: December 2023

We fabricated an inversion mode n-channel thin-film-transistor (TFT) on polycrystalline (poly-) Ge at low temperatures for monolithic three-dimensional large-scale IC (3D-LSI) and flexible electronics applications. Based on our previously reported solid-phase crystallization (SPC) method, we designed an n-channel TFT fabrication process with phosphorous ion implantation to provide the source/drain (S/D). We succeeded in fabricating an n-channel TFT with typical electrical characteristics on poly-Ge and confirmed its operation mode to be inversion mode. However, the fabrication process included a high temperature (500 °C) step for S/D activation. To reduce the process temperature, we used a metal-induced dopant activation method and successfully reduced the activation temperature to 360 °C. This combination is expected to pave the way for high-performance 3D-LSI and flexible electronic devices based on SPC-Ge.
Modulation of electron transport and quantum lifetimes in symmetric and asymmetric AlGaAs/InGaAs double quantum well structures

The low-temperature electron transport (τ

t
) and quantum (τ

q
) lifetimes are modulated as a function of applied electric field (F) in Al0.3Ga0.7As/In0.15Ga0.85As-based symmetric and asymmetric double quantum well structures by considering ionized impurity, alloy disorder and interface roughness scatterings. The asymmetry in the structure potential is achieved through differences in the well widths, i.e. W

w1 ≠ W

w2. We show that in a symmetric structure (W

w1 = W

w2 = 120 Å) resonance of subband states (RSS) occurs at F = F
rss = 0, whereas in asymmetric structures [(W

w1, W

w2) = (90 Å, 150 Å) and (W

w1, W

w2) = (150 Å, 90 Å)], the RSS is shifted and occurs at |F
rss| = 16.4 kV cm−1. The symmetric and antisymmetric nature of the subband wave functions at their corresponding F
rss makes τ

Published: December 2023

Cr2Ge2Te6 (CrGT) is viewed as an important phase change material (PCM) for next-generation nonvolatile memory devices because of its superior properties, e.g., high thermal stability and low operation energy, compared to conventional PCMs. However, the phase change mechanism of CrGT remains unsolved, especially at the nanoscale. Here, we investigated thermally induced nanoscale phase changes of CrGT thin films using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). By performing statistical analysis of the measured STM topographic and STS data, we evaluated the inhomogeneity and distribution of the phase change characteristics of CrGT thin films. We also related the nanoscale phase change properties of CrGT to macroscopic phase changes by comparing the STM and STS results with experimental data from Raman spectroscopy.
Ein rechtsvergleichender Aufsatz über Verfassungsbeschwerde zwischen R.O.K. und B.R.D., insb. in Hinblick auf die Nebenwirkungen durch die Verneinung des Urteilsbeschwerde in Korea, und die entsprechenden Bemühungen zur ihren Überwindungen
Authors:   Korean Constitutional Law Asscciation, NAM Bokhyeon
Published: December 2023

Bei der Verfassungsbewerde unterscheidet sich die Koreanische von der Deutschen entscheidend darin, ob das gerichtliche Urteil als ihren Gegenstand aufgenommen ist oder nicht.
In BRD wird das Urteilsbewerde weit und breit aufgenommen, und deshalb ihre Nebenwirkungen umständlich erörtert, wobei weiter positiv mehr Gewicht auf die Zuviel-Verfassungsdenken gelegt ist.
In Korea hat die Nebenwirkungen umgekehrterweise durch die Verneinung der Urteilsbeschwerde dadurch das Interesse erregt, dass sie teilweise durch die andere Art von Verfahren oder die andere Klassifikation des Gegenstandes beseitigt wurde. Nach wie vor bleibt es dennoch im Kernpunkt nicht geaendert, so dass es leider festzustellen ist, dass die grundsätzliche Lösung bisher noch nicht gefunden ist.
Entsprechend dem Lehren von den über 30 Jahren erreichenden Erfahrungen des Koreanischen Verfassungsgerichts werden hier nochmal einige Punkte besprochen. Darüber wurden schon solche Versuche inzwischen gemacht, um die Nebenwirkungen durch die Verneinung des Urteilsbeschwerde zu überwinden. Trotzdem bleibt die Frage, was für eine Aufgabe für die noch grundsätzlicheren Lösungen ist. Immer liegt es meines Erachtens daran, die Urteilsbeschwerde als ein Sollen in unseres Rechtssystem einzuführen.
„almost certainly the major European poet of the period after 1945“. George Steiner Reading Paul Celan
Authors:   FU Berlin, Frank Christine
Published: December 2023

The article examines, based on several works by cultural philosopher George Steiner, what con-ception of Europe he advocates by classifying Celan as “the major European poet of the period after 1945”. The analysis shows a convergence of poetic practices of modern poetry with basic values of a Humanist understanding of Europe, which Steiner experienced paradigmatically in Celan’s poems. This concerns not least Celan’s explicit intention of a future-oriented poetry after the rupture of history. Finally, the chapter questions the strict connection of Steiner’s aes-thetic and ethical ideas to the geographical and political space of Europe.
“Come to us on your hands”. About an Ambiguous Image of the Encounter in Paul Celan’s Work
Authors:   Universitatea de Vest din Timișoara, Cheie Laura
Published: December 2023

One of the essential images of the lyrics and poetics of Paul Celan is hand walking, an image inspired from the novel Lenz by Georg Büchner. This appears not only in poems such as Stim-men and Es geht, but also in the most important text written by Celan about his poetics, in the discourse Meridian, whose variants reveal the complex semantics of the hand motif in Celan’s thinking. Essential in articulating the truth both in quotidian gestures and in the „mimics” of poetry or poetical reflexion, the hand participates, through hand walking, to the change in per-spective on the world, to the meeting with abyssal depths and the opening of a dialogue with Büchner, Pascal, Nietzsche, Isaak Babel and also with the important themes of the Holocaust and the exile. The present study proposes an investigation on the manner in which hand walking becomes an ambiguous image of the encounter and the dialogue, generating a poetic language in which the chiastic reversals or quasi-absurd linguistic distortions communicate the aim of poetry about which Celan says it does not change the world, but the way of being in the world.
Un-Settled Language in Poems by Paul Celan
Authors:   Université du Luxembourg, Schöneich Dinah
Published: December 2023

The extraordinary richness of multilingualism in Paul Celan’s poetry has often been remarked. However, ‘multilingualism’ might not be the best word, since Celan’s one-of-a-kind conjunc-ture of languages and meanings/ambiguity rather undermines language categories and especial-ly the notion of national languages altogether. In the poem “Kermorvan” for example, knowing the words’ multilingual etymologies and applying language-structures from Hebrew establishes meaningful connections among them. Combining multilingualism and ambiguity, Celan’s Sprachigkeit (languality ) exposes the dynamics and movement of language itself, including the histories, contacts and ambivalences of words and idioms. In this way, his insistent claim to write in one language corrects the idea of exchangeable, co-existing languages towards an un-derstanding of their interconnectedness, which might best be described by David Gramling’s term semiodiversity. In “Bei Wein und Verlorenheit”, the word “Neige” incorporates such an idea of the larger movements of language. It is used similarly to a tilted image to adhere to at least three languages and numerous meanings in a snowball-like principle. The new view of (multi-)lingualism shown in the poem and in Celan’s poetic utterances replaces not only ideas of a simple mapping between things and words (de Saussure) or metaphors and meanings in language. It also replaces the understanding of a general translatability among all languages of the world. Last but not least, in the specific discourse on Jewish language, it resists the notion of a general foreignness towards all languages which has traditionally been projected onto Jews, by positioning itself inside the larger movements of language itself.
Painting as Drama. Staging Dialogue in Anselm Kiefer
Authors:   Universität Münster, Kostner Anna
Published: December 2023

It has frequently been pointed out that Paul Celan’s poems have a dialogic impulse. In this respect, Anselm Kiefer’s paintings can be considered the pictorial extension of Celan’s poetic structures. I will argue that with the inscriptions on his paintings, Kiefer exhibits dialogic moments, relating different perspectives to one another, thereby attempting to understand painting as drama; that is, to create a place for visual experience where no epic narrative is told, but an ongoing and dramatic conflict is acted out. This will be illustrated by a closer look of two of Kiefer’s paintings: The Sand from the Urns (for Ingeborg Bachmann, for , 1997) and The Sand from the Urns (for Paul Celan, 2009).

UNEVILING THE CLINICAL IMPACT OF RARE KIDD ANTIBODY IN AN ANTENATAL PATIENT
Authors: Rajput Saroj , Dhariwal Neha , Chatterjee Tathagat
Published: December 2023

Introduction: The Kidd blood group was established for the rst time in 1951 when it was revealed that a patient had developed antibodies against
an unknown red cell antigen while she was pregnant. This led to the mother and her newborn child developing a condition known as HDFN
(“Hemolytic Disease of Fetus and Newborn”). Material & Methods: The patient underwent the column agglutination procedure (gel card
method) for the determination of their ABO and Rh blood groups as well as their Rh-Kell antigen typing. In order to screen antibodies and identify
specic antibodies, an IAT (Indirect Antiglobulin Test) have been carried out by utilizing which is available commercially 3-cell & 11-cell panel,
correspondingly. Case History: We hereby reported a case of a 22yrs old pregnant female G2P2L1A0 having a previous LSCS at 38weeks with
labor pain, no transfusion history present. Her blood group on testing came out A Rh D negative (C- c+ E- e+ K-). Her DAT & auto control was
negative. The commercial 3-cell antibody screening & 11-cell identication antibody panel was positive & gave the possibility of Anti-Jka & N. On
select cell panel anti-N was ruled out. Conclusion:Regardless of the Rh (D) phenotype, we recommend doing routine antenatal antibody screening
on every pregnant woman in order to identify red cell alloimmunization to additional clinically relevant blood group antigens like Duffy, Kidd, or
Kell.

The timing of surgical management for maxillofacial injuries is determined by variety of factors including neurological, general condition and
systemic involvement of the patient. These factors may lead to delay in patient's treatment. Such delay in treatment at times may cause
complications like non-union and malunion with occlusal derangements and disturbance in temporomandibular joint function. Hereby we are
presenting a case of malunited fracture of symphysis and right angle of mandible due to delay in treatment because of unstable neurological status.
The malunited fracture was successfully refractured, xation was done and pre injury occlusion was achieved followed by normal speech
articulation and mastication.
RENAL ANGIOMYOLIPOMA :CASE SERIES AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
Authors: S B Manjunath , R P Sanjay
Published: December 2023

Introduction: The angiomyolipoma of renal origin is a rare benign tumour composed of fat cells, smooth muscle cells, and thick-wall blood
vessels. Mostly these are sporadic origin, asymptomatic and benign in nature. 13 Materials And Methods: cases of Renal angiomyolipoma
(AML) treated in INU Bengaluru from 2015-2022 were included in the study. Demographic details, presentation, size of the lesion and treatment
provided were documented. Results: All the Patients presented with either Flank pain, perirenal haematoma or frank haematuria. After initial
stabilization, patients were evaluated by contrast enhanced computer tomography (CECT) & diagnosed as renal angiomyolipoma because of low
Hounseld areas (10-20HU) suggestive for fat. 6 patients were managed conservatively. 3 Patients underwent angiography with selective
angioembolisation. Post intervention period was uneventful. 1 patient developed perinephric abscess and PCD was placed. one patient presented
with gross hematuria and underwent simple nephrectomy which also showed Leimyomatoid variant. 2 patients had association with TSC.
Conclusions: Embolisation is the emergency treatment of choice for bleeding angiomyolipoma. When preventive treatment is considered a
nephron sparing approach by either transarterial embolisation or partial nephrectomy is clearly important. While angiomyolipoma in both kidneys
or in solitary functioning kidneys, renal preservation is mandatory in order to avoid need for renal replacement therapy. Everolimus may be
considered for patients not suitable for surgery particularly in tumour seen with tuberous sclerosis.
Giving Language to Taboos: Nation and Religion in Modern Educational Reasoning
Authors: Tröhler Daniel
Published: December 2023

Like all taboos, nation and religion are so powerful precisely because they are often not brought to language. Educators around the world see themselves as secular, not religious, and rational, not national, and they develop their elegant, moral, and bland arguments precisely on this premise. This is, of course, capable of gaining majority support because it keeps the sociological machinery of educational thinking stably alive, but epistemologically it is unsatisfactory. Educational reasoning is sometimes as elegant as the freestyle of a virtuoso ice skater, sometimes as captivating as a rhetorically gifted village preacher, sometimes as clumsy as a plow horse that thinks it is a dressage horse. Some are the stars in the arena of academic education, others the moralizers, and others the bland extras. This rather simple sociology of educational reasoning emphasizes the different roles that Academics occupy in what Fleck called a “thought collective,” but it obscures that “thought collectives” share common “thought styles” in which, often carefully administered by national professional associations, truth is produced. In education, these “thought collectives” have historically been shaped by two fundamental elements. They are veritable taboo subjects, which are presupposed but hardly ever reflected upon, namely religion and nation.

Published: December 2023

White glutinous rice bran has lower glucose levels than white glutinous rice. This could be relevant for glycemic management in diabetes sufferers. Lower glucose levels can help reduce blood sugar spikes after food consumption. White glutinous rice bran, with its low glucose content, can be considered a safe and beneficial food alternative for diabetes sufferers. The literature search process was carried out on various databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar) regarding the analysis of glucose levels in white glutinous rice bran. This study follows the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) recommendations. The glucose content in rice bran ranges from 1.5 to 2.5%, a lower value compared to the glucose content in white glutinous rice which reaches around 7.5%. White glutinous rice bran has relatively low glucose levels, making it a potential food option for consumption by diabetes mellitus sufferers.
