Der Begriff „Kunst“ – revisited
Authors: Oehm Stefan
Published: March 2022

Worüber reden wir, wenn wir über Kunst reden? Eine Frage, die sich die wenigsten stellen, wenn sie über Kunst reden. Und stattdessen drauflos reden. Im alltäglichen Kontext wie vielfach auch in dem der Kunstwelt. Ohne jede systematische Begriffsdifferenzierung. Ohne Erklärung, wie sich die Bedeutung des Wortes Kunst und der Begriff „Kunst“ konstituieren, etablieren, wandeln. Mithilfe von Rudi Kellers Sprachwandelkonzept und H.P. Grice’ handlungstheoretischem Modell versucht sich Stefan Oehm an einem Lösungsansatz.

Irene Daum: Psychology and Art
Authors: Daum Irene
Published: March 2022

Psychological research has long been concerned with themes such as the perception of art, the process of artistic creation and the psychological basis of creativity. Art plays an important role in numerous fields such as clinical and applied psychology. Current research questions in neuropsychology are related to the mechanisms of art appreciation and the relationship between a work of art and the viewer in terms of an empathy-associated process.
Detlev van Ravenswaay: Space Art
Authors: Redaktion w/k
Published: March 2022

The artist Detlev van Ravenswaay defines the terms space art and astronomical art. His motto: creative, artistic ideas on complicated scientific contexts promote the motivation to explore the universe. He shows the influence of celestial phenomena in two cases of cultural history, as a result the Nebra sky disk and Turner’s impressionism. The second half traces the artist’s career as a child of the space age, as a meticulous documentary in his youth, as a creative visionary at work, and as a sympathetic contemporary, valued on Earth and in outer space.
Anna Lena Grau: Recodings
Authors: Redaktion w/k
Published: March 2022

This article is a conversation with the artist Anna Lena Grau, whose exhibition Gespinste does not only refer to science but is itself part of an anatomical collection. Grau exhibits her wax-made objects alongside objects of the permanent collection. In doing so, she intends to re-encode body parts; an approach which stands in opposition to the scientific aim of objectification. Grau therefore attempts, through artistic means, to rectify common judgements of body parts and regions.

Ownership and Agency in the adoption of Open Educational Resources
Authors: Rodés-Paragarino Virginia , Gewerc-Barujel Adriana
Published: March 2022

The widespread focus on ownership in the field of OER refers to the ownership of copyright, and the way to open sharing and publishing, as an intrinsic and defining characteristic. Based on a Grounded Theory study, along with Biographical Methods and Digital Ethnography, the article proposes moving from the perspective of OER as open content sharing, to a broader conceptualization that encompasses emotional ownership, ownership in of curriculum change, and teachers’ agency in the development of the curriculum as key factors for OER adoption.
Ownership of learning in monitoring technology
Authors: Durall Eva , Virnes Marjo , Leinonen Teemu , Gros Begoña
Published: March 2022

Psychological ownership has been connected to agency, engagement and control. In technology-enhanced learning, this means that the technology design aids learners to get involved, make choices and feel responsible for their learning. In this paper we present a design case in which we explore how self-monitoring tools might support ownership of learning from two perspectives: from the technology design and from the learners’ experiences when using a prototype that uses self-monitoring technology. We describe the design process of a prototype that incorporates self-monitoring of physiological data and analyze the results of the tests conducted with the version 2.0 of the prototype in order to assess to what extent the prototype supports different dimensions of self-regulated learning. Based on the research results, we claim that ownership should be regarded as a process that can be fostered through participatory design approaches and by supporting reflection when using the tools.
Developing a Design Inquiry Method for Data Exploration
Authors: Kun Peter , Mulder Ingrid , Kortuem Gerd
Published: March 2022

The increasing availability of large-scale datasets such as sensor data or social media data and increasingly accessible data science tools create unique opportunities for design. However, the relationship between data science practices and design methods is still underdeveloped. In this paper, we propose that data exploration activities can be effectively embedded within a broader design inquiry framework and define a new design method, coined Data Exploration for Design, to support methodical designerly data exploration. The design method addresses the novice’s learning curve and supporting developing a data exploration inquiry mindset with procedures and curated tools. The empirical evaluation highlights support for producing exploration outcomes that are worth the additional technical effort. We close the paper by positioning the findings in design methodology literature and motivating data exploration principles for design inquiry.The principles urge to acknowledge biases in data collection, spending time with the data, using visualizations as a means-to-an-end, and designers being part of the data collection.
Home Smart Home: Approachable Interfaces for Intelligibility, Modification, and End-User Programming
Authors: Reisinger Michaela R. , Schrammel Johann , Suette Stefan , Fröhlich Peter
Published: March 2022

End-user programming concepts are increasingly employed in smart home research to address the growing complexity of controlling smart home environments. Different approaches and visual styles of end-user programming have been proposed and implemented within this context. Smart home control does however not only necessitate end-user programming but also understanding and modifying existing program structures. In this study, we compare three different approaches regarding their suitability for this application context with a specific focus on intelligibility and modification performance. We conducted an empirical study with 39 users performing three types of tasks (understanding, configuring, and programming), using three different approaches for end-user programming (form-filling, data-flow, and grid-canvas). The results of our study found no significant differences regarding the intelligibility of the three different implementations but clear differences in the subjective preference of users as well as configuration and programming performance.
Model-driven development of augmented reality-based editors for domain specific languages
Authors: Ruiz-Rube Iván , Baena-Pérez Rubén , Mota José Miguel , Arnedillo-Sánchez Inmaculada
Published: March 2022

Designing visual models to describe and conceptualize objects and systems requires abstraction skills and a predisposition for visual interactions. Readily available modeling tools rely on the users’ logical-mathematical and visual-spatial abilities to support modeling design. However, they fall short of mechanisms to tap into the users’ bodily-kinesthetic abilities. This research presents a model-driven framework to automatically develop visual editors to work with Domain Specific Languages in tangible interaction environments. The framework is illustrated through the development of an editor of entity-relationship models supported by augmented reality. The editor usability evaluation indicates good acceptance by users as well as potential to support alternative interactions and to learn database concepts.
Transforming higher education learning ecosystem: teaching staff perspective
Authors: Väljataga Terje , Poom-Valickis Katrin , Rumma Kirsti , Aus Kati
Published: March 2022

As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, organizing, designing and delivering learning programs in higher educational institutions needed to be revised and transferred to the digital world without destroying the overall cohesion and balance of the educational ecosystem. We present a case study of transformation challenges of the institution during COVID-19 from the perspective of teaching staff. The results of a survey indicate, that the learning ecosystem was able to respond to the sudden external disturbances as it had the basic conditions fulfilled. However, the transformation represents rather a first-order change, being an online extension of previous everyday practices and not bringing forth deep changes in ways of learning and teaching. As a result, the institution’s management needs to invest in additional infrastructure as well as in educational technologists who would support the teaching staff to systematically widen their pedagogical repertoire and raise their digital competencies to the next level.
Constructing mathematical meanings with digital tools: design, implementation and analysis of a teaching activity in a distance education context
Authors: Faggiano Eleonora , Mennuni Federica
Published: March 2022

This paper presents and analyses a teaching experiment, carried out with five 12thgrade students, in a distance education context during the pandemic, in May 2020. The teaching activity, framed by the Theory of Semiotic Mediation, involved the use of a digital tool - a Dynamic Geometry Environment - and aimed at the construction of the mathematical meanings of rotation. Results are discussed in order to show whether and how the designed teaching activity, experimented in a distance education context, resulted to be effective in order to foster the students’ construction of meanings. We are willing to contribute our findings to educational discussions in Covid-19 time, offering an example of integration of technology in mathematics teaching and learning, and focusing on theoretical aspects and methodological approaches that can be taken into consideration in the attempt to create meaningful technology-rich learning environments, both in remote teaching and in a traditional educational context.
DIOS Y EL ANARCO CAPITALISMO
Authors: Huerta de Soto Jesús
Published: March 2022

El endiosamiento de la razón humana es la principal amenaza de nuestro tiempo. La persona llega a creer que mediante la ingeniería social será capaz de construir el paraíso terrenal a través del Estado. Este modelo presenta al Estado moderno como una alternativa al Reino de Dios. También, habrá quienes pidan que el Mesías ejerza su poder e imponga su voluntad para que solucione los problemas de la Tierra pero Dios es un amante de la libertad. El ser humano le tienta y desafía constantemente para que demuestre su poder supremo. Él no acepta, pues una conversión forzada sería una contradicción a la libertad innata con la que la persona fue creada a su imagen y semejanza.
RELIGIÓN Y LIBERTAD INDIVIDUAL EN EL PENSAMIENTO DE BERTRAND DE JOUVENEL
Authors: Ciampini Gabriele
Published: March 2022

Mi artículo pretende ilustrar el problema de la conciencia política en el pensamiento de Bertrand de Jouvenel, uno de los pensadores liberales franceses más importantes del siglo XX. Me propongo resaltar uno de los aspectos menos conocidos del pensamiento de este autor, que lo sitúa en el contexto de la filosofía política cristiana. Este aspecto se refiere al problema de la relación entre la libertad individual y la conciencia colectiva. La vida del hombre, al estar en contacto continuo con sus iguales, impide la presencia de una dimensión existencial completamente autónoma, en la que pueda actuar plenamente, aparte de los deberes que le impone la comunidad a la que pertenece. En este trabajo trataré de poner de relieve la reflexión de Jouvenel sobre la relación entre la conciencia moral individual y la conciencia política, centrándome en el vínculo especial que se establece entre la comunidad y el individuo.

Encontraron un pueblo amante de la libertad, con un sentido de obligación y gusto muy fuerte por ayudar a otros que se mantienen vigentes y pueden ayudar a los estadounidenses a descubrirse y comprenderse hoy.

Antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli infection of poultry causes significant economic losses. Extended spectrum β lactamases (ESBL) producing E. coli was inoculated in a broiler, Rhode Island Red and Haringhata Black birds orally at 56×108 c.f.u. mL-1 for induction of diarrhoea. Pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone-tazobactam combination (8:1) was studied following a single intramuscular injection at 28.125 mg kg-1 and the combination was administered twice daily to treat such infection. Plasma concentration of both ceftriaxone persisted up to 8 h in experimental birds and maintained an approximate ratio of 8:1 with tazobactam for a period of 2 h, 0.25 h and 0.75 h, respectively in a broiler, Rhode Island Red and Haringhata Black birds. The Kel was significantly lower in all experimental birds compared to healthy birds. Efficacy study was conducted in diarrhoeic birds by administration of ceftriaxone-tazobactam combination at 28.125 mg kg-1 body weight twice daily intramuscularly for three days which caused an increase in specific antibody titre in the broiler on 5th day and in Rhode Island Red birds 10th day. However, Haringhata black birds were inherently showed more resistance towards the infection. The combination of ceftriaxone and tazobactam in the ratio of 8:1 can be an effective treatment to combat ESBL producing E. coli infections.

Pasaulyje žinoma beveik trys tūkstančiai profesijų, iš kurių tik keletas yra visuomenės dėmesio centre. Būtent tokia – mokytojo profesija, siejama su žinių, gyvenimo patirties, kultūros, tradicijų perdavimu jaunajai kartai. Mokslo studijoje autorė atkreipia dėmesį į tai, kad tiek Lietuvoje, tiek visoje Europoje yra mokytojų trūkumo problema – vis mažiau jaunų žmonių renkasi pedagogines studijas ir susieja savo karjerą su mokykla. Atlikta analizė duoda atsakymus į klausimus: kodėl pasirenkama mokytojo karjera, kas lemia, kad kitos srities išsilavinimą ir darbinę patirtį turintys žmonės renkasi mokytojo karjerą, ir kaip pakinta jų profesinis identitetas. Analizuoti šiuos klausimus labai svarbu, kadangi, vyresnės kartos mokytojams užbaigiant savo karjerą, Lietuvos švietimo sistemoje bręsta kritinė situacija, o visuomenės kaita, intensyvėjantys skaitmenizacijos procesai kelia naujus reikalavimus ir lūkesčius mokytojui, mažindami jo karjeros saugumą ir stabilumą. Remiantis mokytojo karjeros pasirinkimo motyvų, darbo vertybių ir profesinio identiteto tyrimų rezultatais pateikiamos išvados ir rekomendacijos bus naudingos pedagogams, apie mokytojo karjeros pasirinkimą svarstantiems žmonėms, švietimo politikams ir švietimo įstaigų vadovams.

The Kovykta-Khandinskaya zone, which includes the Kovykta gas condensate field, is a giant located in the junction zone of the Angara-Lena stage with the craton edge – the Cis-Baikal trough. Here, according to the results of long-term geological exploration, the Verkhnelenskoe uplift was identified, the northern part of which is reflected on tectonic maps as the Kovykta ledge. At the same time, the geological model of the field today is based on the standard two-member model, which includes a slightly disturbed sedimentary cover and basement. However, new geophysical studies revealed that the sedimentary cover of the eastern part of the zone is intensely deformed and has a two-tiered nodular-thrust structure (the lower layer is autochthon, the upper layer is allochthon). The main object for gas exploration within the Kovykta gas condensate field is the Vendian formation. The middle (halogen-carbonate) section has been studied fragmentarily, mainly as an object of geological geohazards when drilling deep wells. The involvement of new data from 3D seismic and 3D transient electromagnetic methods made it possible to clarify the Kovykta gas condensate field tectonic structure to assess the potential of secondary carbonate reservoirs characterized by intense fluid (natural gas, brines) inflows.

Background: Production and cultivation of edible mushrooms are one of the commercial applications of microbial technologies in order to biodegrad agricultural waste into valuable food products. One of the edible mushrooms that uses these agricultural wastes for its growth and development is Pleurotus florida. In P. florida, various enzymes are responsible for the decomposition of lignin compounds in the compost environment from the beginning of mycelial growth to the end of the fruiting period. One of the most important of these enzymes is manganese peroxidase (MnP), which plays a major role in the breakdown of lignin compounds. In addition, the most important compost-degrading mushroom that produces the enzyme MnP is Agaricus bisporus. Objectives: The aim of this study was to produce hybrids of P. florida by increasing the production efficiency through hyphae fusion of P. florida and the A. bisporus. Methods: The hyphae fusion and hybridization were performed for two strains P. florida and A. bisporus, in PDA culture media. Samples were isolated from the fusion areas and were transferred to the culture media, and then spawn was produced. Performance testing was carried out with hybrids and P. florida. We designed a specific primer pair of P. florida MnP gene by Primer Premier software (V.7.0). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to confirm the MnP gene. For this purpose, RNAs were extracted, and their cDNA was synthesized by reverse transcriptase enzyme. PCR with specific primers was performed, and electrophoresis was loaded on 1% agarose gel. Results: This study performed hybridization with formation clamp connections at the junction line. Hybrid N09 strain with biological efficiency (82.92) produced the highest performance in all evaluations compared to other hybrids and the parent strains. Based on the results of PCR product electrophoresis, banding pattern N09 (hybrid N09 strain) indicated that this hybrid, in addition to the P. florida MnP gene of P. florida, also received the amino acid sequences of this gene in A. bisporus. Conclusions: According to the obtained results, the use of hyphae fusion increased the traits as a result of mixing the genetic contributions of parent strains, followed by the diversity of hybrid strains and increased production yield.

: Iodine-based contrast agents have limitations such as rapid clearance, potential renal toxicity, non-specific blood pool distribution, headache, and adverse events. Nowadays, it is quite common to work with nanosized systems in order to eliminate the side effects of contrast agents. This study aims to synthesize a new iodinated contrast agent, prepare its nanosuspension by using the nanoprecipitation method, investigate its cytotoxicity, and compare its contrast properties with iohexol and iopromide through in-vitro experiments. The values of nanosuspension particle size and zeta potential have been found to be ~ 400 nm and ~ (-) 15 mV, respectively. In-vitro cellular viability findings indicated that the nanosuspension has lower cytotoxicity than the iohexol and iopromide. In the computed tomography (CT) imaging study of contrast features of nanosuspensions and two commercial agents, which involved 86 CT examinations using 31 parameters and two different devices, it was found that iodine had a stronger presence in its nanosuspension form than in iohexol and iopromide, which were the other two commercial contrast agents, when used in equal amounts. Thus in the case of nanosuspensions contrast brightness was achieved by using less iodine, while the same brightness could be obtained with higher doses of iohexol and iopromide. CT imaging therefore be done without much chemical use, which indicates that it may witness fewer side effects in the future.

In 2018, RECOVER-E project activities were initiated in Montenegro, within the Horizon 2020 program. After conducting a thorough situation analysis of the setting and circumstances of treatment of patients with severe mental illnesses, the community mental health team (CMHT) within the Special Psychiatric Hospital Kotor was established. This team became responsible for the management of treatment of a group of users with severe mental health illnesses, based on the principles of "Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT - A Dutch model). The main objective of this research was to establish whether there were substantial differences regarding the use of coercive measures during the hospital readmissions in the group of patients treated by the CMHT, compared to usual mental health care in Montenegro. Materials and methods: A sample of 202 users of mental health services from Kotor and surrounding municipalities were recruited. Patients were randomized into two similar-sized groups - the intervention group, whose treatment was managed by the multidisciplinary CMHT, and the control group where treatment, as usual, was continued. To estimate and follow up the frequency of application of coercive measures, hospital documentation was used. Mac Arthur Admission Experience Survey has been used after completion of the study to explore the individual levels of perceived coercion during hospital readmissions. Results: Patients in the intervention group had statistically significant less coercive intervention (such are mechanical restraining and forced medication) during the study. There were no other significant differences between the two groups regarding the total number of readmissions, and the length of hospital treatment. Conclusion: This study showed that CMHT care could reduce some of the coercive measures during the treatment of severe mental illnesses, which can lead to the increased perceived quality of care and better treatment adherence.

Published: March 2022

A new method for improving the propeller efficiency due to locating a pre-swirl stator array has been developed by applying linearized lifting surface theory. This method has been applied on general stators and in particular stators of low aspect ratio. The obtained results of the stator 1nduced velocity are in exact agreement with the low aspect ratio wing theory. Incorporating the stator-induced velocity together with that of the propeller, a new velocity field has been found which led to an improvement of propeller efficiency. Using published theoretical and experimental data of propeller characteristics. A comparison has been made between propellers working alone and those working with stators. A gain in propeller efficiency has been achieved at larger advance coefficient and hence a decrease in the required propeller number of revolutions.
