Some curvature tensors in N(k)-contact metric manifold
Authors: Shah Riddhi Jung
Published: November 2018

The purpose of this paper is to study W7and W9-curvature tensors on N(k)-contact metric manifolds. We prove that a N(k)-contact metric manifold satisfying the condition W7( xi,X).W9=0 is eta-Einstein manifold. We also obtain the Ricci tensor S of type (0, 2) for phi-W9flat and divW9=0 conditions on N(k)-contact metric manifolds. Finally, we give an example of 3-dimensional N(k)-contact metric manifold.BIBECHANA 16 (2019) 55-63
Study of far infrared cavity around a post AGB star under IRAS survey at galactic latitude -3°
Authors: Gautam A K , Aryal B
Published: November 2018

A systematic search of dust structure in the far infrared (100 μm and 60 μm) under Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) survey was performed using Sky View virtual Observatory. In order to find the possible candidate of cavity structure not yet studied, we used SIMBAD database to locate discrete sources in the region. A new relatively symmetric spherical cavity like structure (size: 1.354 pc x 0.971 pc) at R.A.(J2000) =08h 03m 01.65s, Dec.(J2000) = -360 35' 47.9" was found at the distance of about 2800 pc. In this article, we have calculated  dust color temperature, dust mass  and size. We also studied the flux density variation and then calculated temperature and mass profile of the dust of p-AGB star using data reduction software Aladin2.5 and Aladin8.0. We have studied a cavity like structure centered at R.A.(J2000) = 08h 04m 07.21s, Dec.(J2000) = -370 11' 48.0". The dust color temperature is found to lie in the range 21.6 ± 0.09 K to 22.5 ± 0.05 K with an offset of 0.9 K. Such low off set suggests that the post AGB is in local thermodynamic equilibrium. The total mass of the dust in the cavity structure is found about 5.93 x 1025 Kg (0.00003M⊙)BIBECHANA 1 6 (2019) 23-30

Authors: Bohara Narendra Bahadur , Bhat Lal Bahadur , Ghale Dol Bahadur , Duwal Nirjan , Bhattarai Jagadeesh
Published: November 2018

Present research work was focused to investigate the firing temperature effects on mineralogical phase composition of nine clay bricks collected from the brick factory of Kathmandu valley using X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra analyses. Main mineralogical phases of quartz, feldspars, spinel, mullite and hematite in the brick specimens fired at different firing temperatures including muscovite type of mica mineral in the sun-dried brick specimen are identified from XRD and FTIR analyses. Disappearance of the muscovite type of mica clay mineral with feldspars enhanced to form alumina rich spinel phase at firing 900° to 1000° C, and finally the primary mullite phase in the fired clay brick samples is clearly observed at 1100° C firing temperature.BIBECHANA 16 (2019) 122-130

Published: November 2018

Gas sensors are devices that can convert the concentration of an analytic gas into an electronic signal. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is an important n-type metal oxide semiconductor which has been utilized as gas sensor for several decades. In this work, ZnO nanostructured films were synthesized by a hydrothermal route from ZnO seeds and used as a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sensor. At first ZnO seed layers were deposited on glass substrates by using spin coating method, then ZnO nanostructured were grown on these substrates by using hydrothermal growth method for different time duration. The effect of growth time and seed layers of ZnO nanostructured on its structural, optical, and electrical properties was studied. These nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, optical spectroscopy, and four probes sheet resistance measurement unit. The sensing performances of the synthetic ZnO nanostructures were investigated for LPG.XRD showed that all the ZnO nanostructures were hexagonal crystal structure with preferential orientation. SEM reviled that the size of nanostructure increased with increase in growth time. Band gap and sheet resistance for ZnO nanostructured thin film decreased with increase in growth time. ZnO nanostructured thin film showed high sensitivity towards LPG gas. The sensitivity of the film is observed to increase with increase in no of seed layers as well as growth time. The dependence of the LPG sensing properties on the different growth time of ZnO nanostructured was investigated. The sensing performances of the film were investigated by measured change in sheet resistance under expose to LPG gas. BIBECHANA 16 (2019) 145-153

Authors: Khatiwada Shankar P , Thomas Sabu , Saiter Jean Marc , Lach Ralf , Adhikari Rameshwar
Published: November 2018

We investigate the ways of improving thermal and mechanical properties of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) based thermoset resin using diaminodiphenylsulphone (DDS) as hardener and using epoxidized polystyrene/polybutadiene-based triblock copolymers as modifier. The epoxidation was performed. The targeted chemical modification using meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) of the copolymer was performed whereby the epoxidation of the butadiene chains mainly took place at 1,4 linkages. The modification copolymer was found to contribute in enhancing the mechanical performance of the blends with epoxy resin. The results indicated the formation of nanostructured morphology in the blends attributable to their enhanced impact strength.BIBECHANA 16 (2019) 196-203
The Legitimacy of Civil Freedom
Authors: Rödl Florian
Published: November 2018

Force and Freedom by Arthur Ripstein provides a comprehensive account of the modern legal system on a Kantian basis, reaching from private law to public international law. The legal system is presented as a coherent whole, solely based on the idea of equal freedom. Ripstein’s fundamental claim is twofold: first, the Kantian foundation is hermeneutically superior to alternative approaches to understanding the normative structure of the legal system; second, the modern legal system, due to its foundation in equal freedom, resides in reason and is thus normatively superior to alternative ideas of social ordering. Such a great work is typically subject to a wide range of objections. Some of them are raised in contributions to Freedom and Force, edited by Sari Kisilevsky and Martin Stone. This review essay attempts to explain Ripstein’s basic line of thought in Force and Freedom and to defend his account against some mistaken, but nevertheless illuminating, arguments from his critics in Freedom and Force. It then raises two further concerns, one internal, regarding the idea of justice in contractual exchange, and one external, regarding the cogency of a Kantian legitimation for the modern welfare state.

This study investigates the syntactic structures of spoken discourse of teachers in academic discourse. The knowledge of syntactic structure of a language helps in understanding the spoken discourse. So, the study identifies the wh-Movement in the syntactic structures of teachers in English classroom sessions. The data was collected from two universities of Federal government, Pakistan. The one was Air University Islamabad and the second was National University of Modern Languages Islamabad. The data was collected through the recording tool where the English classroom sessions of the teachers were audio-recorded and transcribed. The analysis of data was quantitative and qualitative in nature. The frequency of wh-movement in the structures of recorded English spoken data was analysed quantitatively. In qualitative analyses, the transcribed data was analysed syntactically, keeping in view minimalist perspective, with the help of parsing rules and figures. The analyzed data shows that the teachers at undergraduate level use language where wh-movement is employed in syntactic structure of English used in classroom sessions. They move whexpression into other slots like internal merge and pied-pipe. However, the minimalist parametric unit, wh-movement, was found in the sentence structures of the teachers in the delivery of classroom sessions. So, the minimal pairs of sentence structure impacts different level of language.

Regulacje dotyczące krajobrazu priorytetowego a zagadnienie wolności religijnej imigrantów
Authors: Kroczek Piotr
Published: November 2018

Imigracja w dzisiejszej Europe jest wielkim problemem. Zjawisko to jest potencjalnie niebezpieczne dla narodowego, kulturowego i religijnego status quo Polski. Zgodnie z polskim prawem, wolność religii powinna być zagwarantowana  każdemu, kto znajduje się pod opieką tego prawa. Wolność religii zawiera w sobie prawo do posiadania świątyń. Prawo to jest przyznane każdemu Kościołowi lub związkowi wyznaniowemu. W korzystaniu z tego prawa nie ma rozróżnienia czy lub w jaki sposób Kościół lub związek wyznaniowy jest umocowany w prawie polskim. Wynika z tego, że nie ma bezpośredniej drogi prawnej, aby zabronić imigrantom budowania świątyń.

Niedawno zmieniona ustawa z 2003 roku o planowaniu i zagospodarowaniu przestrzennym zawiera przepisy dotyczące tzw. krajobrazu priorytetowego. Powyższe regulacje mogą być użyte przez władze samorządowe, aby zapobiec zmianom w krajobrazie np. widoku miasta, przez wydania zakazu budowania świątyni z pewnymi architektonicznymi elementami.  Zakaz ten nie może być zakwalifikowany jako naruszenie wolności religijnej, ale jako ograniczenie korzystania z tego prawa. Zakaz taki jest całkowicie uprawniony przez prawo autochtonów do zachowania narodowej, religijnej lub kulturowej spuścizny.
Idea państwa świeckiego w protestantyzmie od połowy XVII do XX wieku
Authors: Hucał Michał
Published: November 2018

U progu XVI wieku pojęcie państwa świeckiego było protestanckim teologom absolutnie obce, a dyskusja dotyczyła stopnia zależności związku wyznaniowego od państwa lub odwrotnie oraz wolności religii. Stosunek protestantyzmu do państwa świeckiego na przestrzeni dziejów nie był ani spójny, ani niezmienny, ale akcentując indywidualizm jednostki przyczyniał się do rozwoju ochrony jej autonomii, a tym samym rozdzielenia państwa i wyznań. Współcześnie Kościoły protestanckie posiadające status państwowego związku wyznaniowego bądź same aktywnie zmierzają w kierunku zrzucenia ostatnich symboli państwa wyznaniowego, co miało miejsce w Królestwie Szwecji, lub też są wewnętrznie poddawane presji, aby zdecydować się na taki krok (np. Kościół Anglii). Koncepcja państwa świeckiego, pozbawionego cech antyreligijnych i współpracującego ze związkami wyznaniowymi w sprawach dobra wspólnego (np. diakonia), jest powszechnie akceptowana w protestantyzmie, także polskim.
Tajemnica adwokacka adwokata kościelnego w prawie polskim. Zakres ochrony i skutki jej naruszenia
Authors: Tomkiewicz Małgorzata
Published: November 2018

Termin „tajemnica adwokacka” nie jest terminem precyzyjnie definiowanym ani w prawie polskim, ani w prawie kanonicznym, choć nie ulega wątpliwości, że w obu tych porządkach prawnych tajemnica ta jest regulowana formalnie i podlega ochronie. Zarówno w prawie polskim, jak i w prawie kanonicznym, tajemnica adwokacka chroniona jest określonymi zakazami/ograniczeniami dowodowymi i w obu też ochrona ta przewiduje odpowiedzialność depozytariusza tajemnicy za jej naruszenie. Także aksjologia omawianej tajemnicy w każdym z wymienionych porządków prawnych co do istoty jest podobna: w każdym z nich chodzi o realizację prawa do rzetelnego i sprawiedliwego procesu, prawa do obrony oraz prawa do ochrony prywatności, w tym swobody komunikowania się.

To, iż zapewnienie ochrony tajemnicy adwokackiej jest przedmiotem troski zarówno prawodawcy państwowego jak i kościelnego, jest zauważalne niejako primo facie. Mniej oczywiste jest już jednak to, czy tajemnice te „dostrzegają się” wzajemnie i czy są chronione w sposób symetryczny w obu wymienionych porządkach prawnych? Czy osoby pełniące funkcje adwokatów w porządku prawa kanonicznego mogą w sprawach toczących się według prawa polskiego powoływać się na tajemnicę zawodową i czy tego rodzaju odwołanie wywołuje skutki prawne na gruncie prawa świeckiego? Czy obciążający adwokata kościelnego, podobnie jak i adwokata świeckiego, obowiązek zachowania w tajemnicy oraz zabezpieczenia przed ujawnieniem lub niepożądanym wykorzystaniem wszystkiego, o czym dowiedział się w związku z wykonywaniem obowiązków zawodowych, jest respektowane przez prawodawcę świeckiego i odwrotnie? Czy ujawnienie przez adwokata kościelnego informacji uzyskanych w związku z pomocą prawną udzielaną stronie w postępowaniu przed trybunałem kościelnym, skutkuje jego odpowiedzialnością karną określoną w art. 266 k.k.? Niniejszy artykuł poprzez analizę prawnoporównawczą odnośnych przepisów prawa kanonicznego, a także regulacji obowiązujących w prawie polskim, stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na te pytania.
Kościół Nowoapostolski w Polsce – charakterystyka ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem statusu prawnego
Authors: Zamirski Konrad T.
Published: November 2018

Artykuł dotyczy statusu prawnego Kościoła Nowoapostolskiego w Polsce, jego nauki oraz struktury organizacyjnej. Ukazuje także starania tej chrześcijańskiej wspólnoty religijnej o ukształtowanie jej bytu prawnego w odrębnej ustawie (ustawa partykularna). W części historycznej znajdują się informacje o pierwotnej strukturze Kościoła Nowoapostolskiego powstałej w 1830 r. w Anglii oraz o działalności Kościoła Nowoapostolskiego na ziemiach polskich począwszy od drugiej połowy XIX wieku (1863 r.). Wskazywany jest szczególnie atrybut uznania prawnego posiadany przez Kościół na podstawie ustawodawstwa państw zaborczych. Autor zauważa, że uznanie prawne omawiana wspólnota posiadała także w okresie II Rzeczypospolitej. Opisano losy tego Kościoła w okresie PRL oraz wspomniano, że w 2013 r. Kościół Nowoapostolski obchodził 150-lecie swojego istnienia.
Ser y estar en las lenguas romances ibéricas: las oraciones copulativas con atributo adjetival
Authors: Pérez-Jiménez Isabel , Gumiel-Molina Silvia , Moreno-Quibén Norberto
Published: November 2018

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las propiedades y distribución de los verbos ser y estar en el contexto de las oraciones copulativas con atributo adjetival en las lenguas romances ibéricas y explicar las diferencias que se encuentran entre las lenguas ibéricas occidentales (gallego, portugués, español), por un lado, y orientales (catalán), por otro. Para ello, tras confeccionar un detallado paradigma de datos, este se explicará siguiendo la propuesta desarrollada para el español por Gumiel-Molina, Moreno-Quibén y Pérez-Jiménez 2015a. Para entender las especificidades del catalán, se habrá de tener en cuenta el proceso de cambio lingüístico que se está dando en esta lengua, según el cual conviven en ella sincrónicamente dos formas estar, una que funciona como verbo aspectual durativo-resultativo y otra que funciona como cópula resultativa. Además, mostraremos que las lenguas ibéricas occidentales reflejan un estadio más innovador en el proceso de gramaticalización sufrido por la forma estar desde el latín, que permite explicar que el denominado «uso evidencial de estar» esté plenamente extendido en español pero no lo esté en catalán.
El efecto de referencia disjunta en pasivas con ser y estar
Authors: García-Pardo Alfredo
Published: November 2018

Este artículo estudia el efecto de referencia disjunta en construcciones pasivas con ser y estar, que consiste en la imposibilidad de tener una lectura reflexiva. Muestro, basándome en un estudio empírico realizado a hablantes de castellano peninsular, que dicho efecto se produce en la pasiva con ser pero no en la pasiva con estar, y desarrollo una propuesta teórica para dar cuenta de los datos. Mi estudio contribuye a una comprensión más completa de las propiedades de los participios pasivos con ser y estar en español, y constituye una aportación al estudio actual de las pasivas verbales y adjetivales en diferentes lenguas.

Published: November 2018

El presente artículo muestra la decadencia de la Inquisición en la Nueva España a partir de su abolición, primero en 1813 y posteriormente en 1820. En la primera sección narramos el contexto, origen, evolución y las principales características de dicho tribunal. Luego centramos la atención en la discusión que surgió entre los letrados de la época alrededor de su supresión. Analizamos principalmente panfletos que circularon en Nueva España en 1820 y 1821 y que fueron la respuesta a la obra del carmelita fray José de San Bartolomé, quien en 1814 publicó El duelo de la Inquisición. Los panfletos que atacaron o defendieron este texto, así como otros posteriores, dan pistas del surgimiento de la opinión pública en el México independiente.

Polen: Reformrhetorik gegen Konservatismus und Stagnation
Authors: Voß Thomas
Published: November 2018

Die aktuelle polnische Reformpolitik wurde nicht von der jüngsten Entwicklung in der Sowjetunion veranlaßt, sondern hat ihre eigene Geschichte. Unter dem Schlagwort eines »polnischen Weges zum Sozialismus« wurde schon Mitte der 50er Jahre von der Parteiführung eine grundlegende Systemreform propagiert. Dies geschah in Reaktion auf eine umfassende gesellschaftliche Oppositionsbewegung, die sich aus tiefster Unzufriedenheit mit dem sozialistischen System stalinistischer Prägung entwickelt hatte. Niedriger Lebensstandard und eklatante Versorgungsmängel, härteste Arbeitsbedingungen und höchste Leistungsanforderungen, allgemeine Rechtsunsicherheit, Inkompetenz und Willkür der parteilich-staatlichen Machtapparate, ein tiefempfundenes Gefühl individueller wie gesellschaftlicher Machtlosigkeit gegenüber all diesen Erscheinungen, das Fehlen jeglicher authentischer Kommunikationsstrukturen und Möglichkeiten der Artikulation eigener Interessen und Ansichten waren Probleme, mit denen sich weite Teile der Bevölkerung nicht abfinden wollten. Hinzu kam, daß den Polen das sozialistische System sowjetischen Typs gegen ihren Mehrheitswillen mit Gewalt aufgezwungen worden war, und zwar durch die russische Großmacht, die sie traditionell als einen der gefährlichsten Feinde der polnischen Nation ansahen.

Published: November 2018

G. Ziebura beschreibt - als Linksintellektueller - die soziale und funktionale Ambivalenz der Linksintellektuellen. Aus ihr leitet sich die oft beobachtete Inkonsistenz zwischen Denken und Verhalten der Linksintellektuellen her, die sich in geknickten Biographien oder auf der Theorieebene z.B. in überstürzten Paradigmenwechseln ausdrückt. In der gegenwärtigen Krise, in der der »Block an der Macht« wegen Hilflosigkeit bröckelt, sieht Ziebura eine Chance für einen erneuten Einfluß gewinn der Linksintellektuellen, wenn sie - trotz aller Distanz zu bestehenden politischen Organisationen - wieder zu ihrer Aufgabe zurüclifinden und ein praxisnahes, alternatives Gesamtprojekt entwerfen.

Authors: Zahn Horst-Dieter , Raphael Lutz
Published: November 2018

Die Tagesordnung der politischen Diskussion wird seit geraumer Zeit nicht mehr von der kritischen Intelligenz festgelegt. Die »Themenführerschaft« wurde an die Neokonservativen abgegeben. Ist dies bloß das (letzte) Aufbäumen der »deutschen Manadarine« gegen die im Zuge der Demokratisierung erfolgte gesellschaftliche Institutionalisierung der Rolle kritischer Intellektueller, die ihren entscheidenden Schub in den sechziger Jahren erhielt - wie dies Hauke Brunkhorst behauptet- oder spiegelt sich darin vielmehr eine Krise des Projekts der Modeme wider, die auch Position und Funktion der kritischen Intellektuellen umfaßt? Der Neokonservatismus kann auf tiefgreifende gesellschaftliche Enwicklungen bauen. Insbesondere die Gruppe der »Modernitätstraditionalisten« hat ein analytisches Instrumentarium entwickelt, mit dem sie die Ambivalenz der kulturellen Prozesse der achtziger Jahre erfassen und auf die sie ideologisch-politisch einwirken kann. Eine Geringschätzung des westdeutschen Neokonservatismus durch kritische Intellektuelle ist irreführend.
Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des Projekts einer neuen Klasse in Osteuropa
Authors: Szelenyi Ivan
Published: November 2018

1974 vertraten Szelenyi und Konrad die Ansicht, daß sich die Intellektuellen in Osteuropa auf dem Weg zur Klassenherrschaft befänden. Hier interpretiert Szelenyi seine damaligen Thesen als Reaktion auf die Reformen der 60er Jahre. Daß sich seine Prognosen nicht realisierten,führt er einerseits auf den von ihm unterschätzten Widerstand der Bürokratie gegen jede Teilung der Macht zurück. Andererseits fand seit 1975 mit der Entstehung kleiner Privatunternehmen ein unvorhergesehener sozialer Wandel statt, der eine sowohl im privaten Marktsektor als auch im bürokratisch gesteuerten Bereich begründete »duale« Klassenstruktur mit sich brachte. Sich daraus ergebende mögliche Bündniskonstellationen diskutiert Szeleny am Ende seines Artikels.
Theorie und sozialistische Strategie
Authors: Aronowitz Stanley
Published: November 2018

Hier werden Etappen der Krise des Marxismus rekonstruiert. Im Zentrum steht eine Auseinandersetzung mit der Diskurstheorie von E. Laclau und Ch. Mouffe: In »Hegemony and Socialist Strategy« haben die beiden Autoren versucht, den literarischen und philosophischen Post-Strukturalismus für eine methodologische und epistimologische Kritik des historischen Materialismus zu mobilisieren. Sie verfechten das Primat des Kulturellen über die Ökonomie, lehnen dessen a priori-Hegemonie der Arbeiterklasse ab und begreifen Demokratie als Alternative zum Sozialismus. - Ein interessanter Versuch, der aber zu vieles draußen läßt (z.B. den Diskurs der Politischen Ökonomie) und dem u.a. die Perspektive einer »moralischen Hegemonie ohne Herrschaft« verloren geht- wodurch er auch die Rolle der Intellektuellen in den sozialen Bewegungen von Ländern wie Brasilien, Polen oder Südafrika mißversteht.
Das »empirische Idiom«: Geschichtsschreibung, Theorie und Politik in The Making of the English Working Class
Authors: Lindenberger Thomas
Published: November 2018

Anläßlich der deutschen Übersetzung von Edward P. Thompson, The Making of the English Working Class (Die Entstehung der englischen Arbeiterklasse, Frankfurt a.M. 1987) wird die historiographische Funktion des Erfahrungsansatzes in diesem Klassiker der westeuropäischen Sozialgeschichte untersucht- in expliziter Abgrenzung zu deutschen und englischen Rezeptionsweisen, die ausschließlich die klassentheoretische, also auf den historischen Gegenstand »Arbeiterklasse « bezogene Bedeutung von »Erfahrung« diskutieren. Interpretiert man The Making als eine an bestimmte historische Konstellationen (Anfang der 60er in GB) gebundene Autor-Leser-Interaktion, so werden die historischen Schilderungen Thompsons auch als Interpretationen je spezifischer E1fahrungen der britischen Linken erkennbar. Diese im »empirischen Idiom« dichter Beschreibungen und nicht in der »Hochsprache« theoretischer Abstraktionen zu verarbeiten, machte die über fachliche Belange weit hinausreichende politische Bedeutung von The Making aus.
Der Börsenkrach und sein Nachspiel
Authors: Pillay Vella
Published: November 2018

Gängigen Erklärungen, die den Börsenkrach auf bestimmte Techniken, wie den Programmhandel, zurückführen, wird die Auffassung gegenübergestellt, daß die Globalisierung und Verzahnung der Finanzmärkte wesentlichfür deren Instabilität verantwortlich ist, und daß daher auch alle Regulierungsbemühungen, die vonji·agmentierten Märkten ausgehen, ins Leere laufen müssen. Die Strukturveränderungen der Finanzmärkte werden als Ausdruck von tiefgreifenden Verschiebungen der Weltwirtschaft interpretiert.
Schuldnerland Argentinien: Enteignung durch das internationale Finanzkapital oder hausgemachte Misere?
Authors: Töpper Barbara
Published: November 2018

In dem Artikel geht es um die innenpolitischen Dimensionen der Verschuldung Argentiniens, die als nationales Komplement des imperialistischen Weltmarktzusammenhangs erst die gesamte Dynamik des Verschuldungsprozesses in ihren grundlegenden Dimensionen zu erklären vermag. Die unmittelbare Verantwortung für die gegenwärtige Krisensituation wird dabei dem argentinischen Finanzkapital zugewiesen, welches unter der Militärdiktatur die Auslandsverschuldung als spekulative Bereicherungsstrategie und zur Finanzierung der Kapitalflucht betrieben hatte. Die wirtschaftspolitischen Handlungsspielräume der gegenwärtigen demokratischen Regierung Alfonsin sind angesichts einer Machtkonstellation, innerhalb derer das Finanzkapital weiterhin dominiert, auf ein Minimun reduziert: sowohl die anfänglichen bescheidenen Reaktivierungsversuche als auch die spätere Stabilisierungspolitik des »Plan Austral« waren letztlich zum Scheitern verurteilt.
Was ist die Werttheorie noch wert?
Authors: Heinrich Michael
Published: November 2018

Die Diskussion des Transformationsproblems und des neoricardianischen Ansatzes von Piero Srajfa, veranlaßten viele marxistisch orientierte Ökonomen dazu, von der Marxschen Werttheorie Abstand zu nehmen. Im vorliegenden Aufsatz werden die quantitativen Modelle der Neoricardianer einer grundsätzlichen Kritik unterzogen; es wird dagegen für eine qualitative Fassung des Wert-Preis Zusammenhangs plädiert. Die Marxsche Werttheorie wird dabei als »monetäre Werttheorie« aufgefaßt, die allerdings nicht als fertig unterstellt werden kann, sondern ihre Feuerprobe in der Entwicklung einer adäquaten Geld- und Kredittheorie erst noch zu bestehen hat.
Analytischer Marxismus
Authors: Müller Klaus
Published: November 2018

Unter der Bezeichnung Analytischer Marxismus hat sich während der letzten zehn Jahre eine Gruppe von Autoren zusammengefunden, die den Fragen des traditionellen Marxismus mit den Techniken der modernen analytischen Sozialwissenschaft nachgeht. Für sie ist einerseits die Ablehnung der Marxschen Werttheorie kennzeichnend, andererseits der Anspruch, das Projekt einer allgemeinen Gesellschaftstheorie mit Hilfe spieltheoretischer Modelle, dem Postulat des methodologischen Individualismus oder dem Schema funktionaler Erklärungen neu zu begründen. Im folgenden werden ihre Hauptvertreter vorgestellt. Es zeigt sich, daß der Analytische Marxismus fruchtbare Fragestellung provoziert und manche Details erhellt, sich jedoch nicht zu einer kohärenten Theorie verdichtet.
Study on the specificity of some molecular markers related to the cytoplasmic male sterility trait of vietnamese Chi Thien chilli pepper cultivar (Capsicum frutescens)
Authors: Cung Phuong Hoang Phi , Nguyen Hao Thanh , Bui Le Van
Published: November 2018

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is an important trait in the production of F1 hybrid seed of chili peppers. The creation and detection of CMS and maintainer lines by conventional methods require a lot of time and effort, and the accuracy is influenced by many factors. Therefore, the application of molecular markers is necessary to increase the efficiency of breeding. In this research, we investigated the specificity of four primer sets, coxIISCAR, atp6SCAR, RfSCAR and coxTri-M1 related to CMS trait in different lines of Chi Thien cultivar that is planted widely in Vietnam. The results showed that three of the four sets of primers (coxIISCAR, RfSCAR and coxTri-M1) could discriminate exactly the CMS and the maintainer lines, the two most important lines for the production of F1 hybrid seeds. These results showed the feasibility of the application of these primer sets to increase the effectiveness of the chili peppers breeding process in Vietnam.
Bioefficacy of Serratia marcescens isolated from entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) and their secondary metabolite prodigiosin against Spodoptera litura
Authors: Nguyen Huong Hoai , Nguyen Kha Hoang Anh
Published: November 2018

Bacterial strain SH1 was isolated from entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) Heterorhabditis indica CP16 released from insect cavaders (Spodoptera litura). Their identification by API 20E Kit as well as by 16S rDNA sequencing showed that it belongs to the species Serratia marcescens. The isolate expressed the toxicity to Spodoptera litura. In the injection assay more than 65 % insects were killed after 10 h at 23 cfu/insect; in the ingestion assay (droplet on leaf surface), more than 50 % insects were killed after 72 h at 170 cfu/cm2. The red pigment produced by the isolate SH1 was confirmed to be one of its secondary metabolites – prodigiosin based on its color, UV/VIS spectra và ESI-MS results. When injected to Spodoptera litura at a dose of 422 ng/insect, the active compound killed approximately 65 % insects after 10 h of treatment, and in the ingestion assay (droplet on the leaf surface) at a dose of 27.66 ng/cm2 killed approximately 90 % insects after 120 h of treatment.

Oxidation can generate free radicals which damage important molecules including lipids, proteins, and nucleic acid, and causes premature aging. The oxidation of skin cells manifests as wrinkles, freckles and many other serious symptoms. To develop natural products with high antioxidant ability for skin care, we developed mixtures of Spirulina platensis biomass, gold nanoparticles (AuNP: 10 nm) and vitamin C at different ratios. The antioxidant activity of the mixtures was measured by ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis (3- ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt) assay. The mixture of S. platensis (1000 ppm), AuNP (10 ppm), and vitamin C (10 ppm) showed excellent antioxidant activity with 95 % efficiency after 30 minutes and 100 % efficiency after 120 minutes under the reaction conditions. The combination of the mixture and the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) binder was sterilized by gamma Co-60 radiation. The sterilization dose of 16 kGy was selected due to theabsence of aerobic microorganisms in the antioxidant cosmetic preparation. Thus, the cosmetic preparation in paste form containing three main components of S. platensis, gold nanoparticles, and vitamin C combinated with PVP binder has a potential applications in the field of cosmetics, especially for facial skin rejuvenation.
Preparation and characterization of nano chitosan for hGM-CSF release
Authors: Dang Truong Tat , Nguyen Thuan Cong , Tran Hieu Van
Published: November 2018

hGM-CSF (human granulocytemacrophage colony stimulating factor) is a cytokine secreted by many cell types. Its characters are suitable for vaccine adjuvant such as ability to stimulate survival, differentiation and enhancement the functions of antigen-presenting cells. This cytokine is also a chemoattractant for monocytes and neutrophils to the infected sites, stimulates the expression of several cytokines like IL-1, IL-6, TNF, which are essential for B and T lymphocyte differentiation. However, hGM-CSF has some drawbacks for being an adjuvant candidate due to its easy degradation, toxicity at high concentration and low-dose requirement for therapeutic effect. Drugs delivery system using chitosan can overcome these disadvantages of hGM-CSF. In this present study, chitosan particles were prepared and evaluated the absorption and release of human hGM-CSF. Firstly, the activity of hGM CSF was evaluated by proliferation bioassay using TF-1 cell line. Afterward, chitosan particles were prepared by ionic gelation method and were examined for its toxicity on TF‑1 cell line. After protein absorbance onto chitosan particles, the release capacity and in vitro protection of chitosan for hGM-CSF were assessed. The result showed that hGM-CSF had an ED50 value of 106 pg/mL. The synthesized chitosan particles had an average diameter of 24.5 nm and were nontoxic. Based on the results of SDS-PAGE and Bradford, the adsorption efficiency of hGM‑CSF onto chitosan particles reached 99 % and chitosan has the ability to release hGM-CSF and protects it from hydrolysis of trypsin. In conclusion, the synthesized chitosan beads absorbed and released hGMCSF with its activity remained. This result provides the evidence for further in vivo researches.
Cloning and expression of the acyl thioesterase 2 (ALT2) gene in Escherichia coli for producing short- and medium-chain 2-methylketones
Authors: Khuat Vy Le Uyen , Do Thao Phuong , Nguyen Thuong Thi Hong
Published: November 2018

2-Methylketones are organic compounds that are more widely used in the food industry and cosmetics. Some of methylketones found in plants act as pheromones and natural insecticides. Recently, methylketones have been recognized as strong candidates for the production of renewable energy as they possess not only favourable cetane numbers but also lower hydrophilicity and melting points than fatty acids which have been used in biodiesel production. In addition, short chain methylketones have much lower melting points than long chain methylketones. In this study, we cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli C41(DE3) cells a gene for acyl thioesterase 2 (ALT2) isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana. The ALT2 enzyme could hydrolyze 3-ketoacyl-ACP (also called β-ketoacyl-ACP) intermediates in the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway into the corresponding 3-ketoacid. The resulting 3- ketoacids are unstable compounds that will be decarboxylated to produce n-1 methylketones. Methylketones released in the growth medium of E. coli expressing ALT2 were extracted by hexane and analyzed by gas chromatography with the flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The results showed that the E. coli C41(DE3) cells expressing ALT2 recombinantly produced 2-nonanone (9C), 2- undecanone (11C) and 2-tridecanone (13C) in the spent medium when were induced with 0.25 mM IPTG at 37 oC for 3.5 hours.
