Outsourcing and Networking: Similar Trends in Local State-NPO Cooperation in Germany and China
Authors: Levy Katja , Ketels Anja 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
This paper presents results of a German-Chinese comparative research project on the provision of services by non-profit organizations (NPOs) in the field of migration. It argues that NPOs and local governments deploy similar strategies in their joint attempt to tackle social problems, regardless of their political backgrounds. From a top-down perspective German and Chinese local governments show similar outsourcing modes, while from a bottom-up perspective NPOs show similar practices of network governance.
Preparation and characterization of cellulose bromo-isobutyl ester based on filter paper
Authors: Wu Rina , Wang Qiuyu , Liu Huayu , Wang Gaosheng , Lu Peng 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Cellulose bromo-isobutyl ester was prepared using filter paper as raw material through esterification reaction with 2-Bromoisobutyryl bromide (BIBB) in N, N-Dimethyl-formamide (DMF). Cellulose esters with different degree of substitution were obtained. FTIR result indicated the successful introduction of bromo isobutyryl group in cellulose to obtain cellulose ester (Cell-Br). The surface of modified filter paper become rough and grooves could be observed by SEM. The thermal stability of the cellulose ester decreased in comparison with unmodified filter paper. Besides, the hydrophobicity of the filter paper was improved and the water contact angle increased from 73.4° to 116.5° with increasing degree of substitution. The water vapor barrier property was improved by 26 %. Furthermore, it was also found the modified filter paper possessed antibacterial activity against S. aureus bacteria. The modified filter paper obtained could be potentially used in food packaging fields and the results provide a simple method to prepare functional filter paper.
Constructing subject-specific lists of multiword combinations for EAP: A case study
Authors: Khamkhien Attapol , Wharton Sue 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThis study combines a corpus-based approach and intuition-based judgements to develop a set of multiword combinations for research publications in academic journals. To obtain a representative sample, a corpus of four internal sections of 120 Applied Linguistics research articles indexed in the TCI (Thai Citation Index) database was systematically compiled and investigated. To identify n-grams which occur frequently in the corpus, a corpus-based approach was used. First, a list of 49 content-based strings, likely to be the most useful for pedagogic purposes, was derived. Based on their grammatical and semantic relationships, 3-grams were further investigated. For multiword sequences to occur frequently in the corpus, some pragmatic functionality is required which contributes to pedagogical use. Five EAP instructors were therefore invited to select the useful multiword combinations from the list of identified n-grams. A list of 289 phraseological patterns was finally created successfully. The list can provide additional evidence-based and corpus-informed instructional resources which support English teachers with the planning of lessons as well as materials design and development, particularly for advanced language courses which target scholarly writing.
The spatial conceptualization of time in Spanish and Chinese
Authors: Pamies-Bertrán Antonio , Yuan Wang 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
There is a general consensus about the existence of a cognitive transfer by which we conceive time in terms of space, witnessed by the recurrence of this metaphor in many languages. We can distinguish two theoretical trends in the treatment of this conceptual metaphor: those based on universalistic apriorisms and those based on more relativistic and empirical assumptions. While the first tend to extrapolate from English, reducing this metaphor to very few basic models with a natural motivation, the second privilege Amerindian languages, with empirical data which do not fit in such speculative universals. This contrastive work on the two typologically distant languages Spanish and Chinese confirms the cross-linguistic productivity of other space-to-time associations (reversed time, mirror time, vertical time, cyclic time). Though our results show more similarities than differences in the overall available inventory, some specific divergences between Chinese and Spanish are also noted.
Das semantische Potential der Idiome aus kognitiver Perspektive
Authors: Sulikowska Anna 
Published: December 2020

AbstractIdioms are especially complicated language units from a semantic point of view. They are motivated, expressive, ambigue, imagic and imaginistic, and contain a semantic added value. This corpus-based research on idioms shows that their meanings are not as stable as it has been presumed until now and that dictionary definitions contain many shortcomings. The aim of this article is to reveal the semantic potential of idioms in use and to explain it from a cognitive perspective. It is argued that the semantic complexity of idioms results from two aspects: (i) their ambiguity based on interaction between the literal and the lexicalized meaning, (ii) their polylexicality – the semantic derivations can occur not only on the level of the word group but also concern the individual components. As this research shows, the most important mechanisms of meaning constitution are metonymy, metaphor and metaphtonymy.
Review on analytical methods for quantification of ADHD drugs in human biological samples
Authors: Sundari J. , Amuthalakshmi S. , Nalini C.N. 
Published: December 2020

AbstractAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neuro-developmental disorder. The symptoms of ADHD include difficulty in attention, memory and impulse control. Many pharmaceutical formulations (stimulants and non-stimulants) are available on the market to treat ADHD symptoms. The most commonly used drugs for treatment are amphetamine, methylphenidate, atomoxetine, bupropion, guanfacine and clonidine. In the field of pharmaceuticals, bioanalysis is an important tool used for the quantification of drugs and their metabolites present in biological samples using various analytical methods. Although a number of analytical methods were reported for the quantification of these drugs in biological samples of experimental animals, due to species differences, it is important to develop analytical methods to quantify these drugs in human biological samples to aid forensic and pharmacokinetic studies. In this review, we compile the bio-analytical methods such as spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry, mass spectrometry, electrophoresis, liquid chromatography and gas chromatography used for the quantification of ADHD drugs in human biological samples such as blood, plasma, serum, oral fluids, sweat, hair and urine based on earlier published articles from various journals.

Therapeutic approaches on the interaction between SARS-CoV2 and ACE2: a biochemical perspective
Authors: Baskol Gulden , Mazicioglu Mumtaz M. , Özel Merve 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The current conditions in the progression of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic changed the current scientific paradigm, and we now observe a novel rhythm and way of evaluating the collected information. Previous experiences in epidemics with similar viruses (viz., SARS-CoV1, and MERS-CoV) and collected information about the viral transmission and replication can be used to overcome the SARS-CoV2 pandemic. Although SARS-CoV2 emerged very recently, there are plenty of scientific studies about similar viruses to comment on the current situation. Inhibition of SARS-CoV2 spike protein activation, inhibition of virus endocytosis, using a soluble form of ACE2, peptide or non-peptide analogs of ACE2, and sustaining ACE2/Angiotensin-(1–7)/Mas receptor pathway activation can be proposed for use in therapeutic studies. In this review, the biochemical mechanism of SARS-CoV2 and ACE2 binding, virus-cell membrane fusion, and endocytosis of virus to host cells are discussed according to the currently available literature. The significant contribution of this review may be to provide useful information to researchers into the SARS-CoV2 outbreak.
Zion, Jakob und Abraham
Authors: Spieckermann Hermann 
Published: December 2020

Zusammenfassung
Ps 46–48, eine bewusst gestaltete Komposition, spiegeln den Weg der Zionstheologie in den Psalmen mindestens durch drei Jahrhunderte hindurch wider. Ps 48 wird als Hymnus auf Zion aus vorexilischer Zeit vor dem Einfluss der neuassyrischen Großmacht beurteilt, der in frühnachexilischer Zeit durch Ps 46 ein erläuterndes Vorwort erhalten hat. Dies ist nach der Katastrophe von 587/6 v. Chr. und dem anschließenden Exil als notwendig erachtet worden. Ps 46 wirbt im erschütterten Gottesvolk um neues Vertrauen, indem mit Jhwh Zebaoth der Titel »Gott Jakobs« verbunden wird, eine Erinnerung an die verheißungsvollen Anfänge des Gottesvolkes. In der Perserzeit ist später Ps 47 als weiteres Vorwort komponiert und dazwischen gestellt worden. Um Jhwh, den einzigen König, sind die Edlen aller Völker zum gemeinsamen Lob versammelt und empfangen den Ehrentitel »Volk des Gottes Abrahams«. In diesem Lichte kann der Kampf der Könige in Ps 48 gegen den Großkönig Jhwh nur noch als Ausnahme gegenüber der wechselseitigen Zuwendung von Jhwh und den Völkern erscheinen.
Three Evil Kings and One Promise: Another Look at the Doctrine of Retribution and the Question of the Eternal Reign of the Davidic Dynasty in the Book of Chronicles
Authors: Amar Itzhak 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
One of the most widely studied subjects in scholarship on the book of Chronicles is the question of the Eternal Reign of the Davidic dynasty. Most scholars have adopted the same methodic approach: analyzing sources in the book connected to the promise of the Davidic dynasty. This article addresses this issue from a novel angle–through a discussion of the three most wicked kings described in the book of Chronicles, Jehoram, Ahaziah, and Ahaz. It seems that the question whether the rule of a certain king, and the succession of his son after him, can be justified, arises only in cases where the king has no merits whatsoever. The comparison between these three kings uncovers numerous connections between them, especially the motif of the death of their children.
David und Moab – Eine schwierige Verhältnisbestimmung
Authors: Gaß Erasmus 
Published: December 2020

Zusammenfassung
Mit einer nördlichen Lage von Horonajim und einer Verbindung dieses Ortes mit der Daviddynastie (KAI 181:31) kann man einen historischen Kern der biblischen Texte bestimmen, die eine Beziehung Davids zu Moab behaupten. Die Dynastie Davids wäre somit von den Omriden im Ostjordanland eingesetzt worden, um einen Teil Moabs zu kontrollieren. Die biblische Erzählung hat die kriegerischen Erfolge des 9. Jh. v. Chr. mit David verbunden. Im Rutbuch könnte sich zudem die Tradition erhalten haben, dass die Daviddynastie irgendwann in Moab residierte und von dort wieder nach Jerusalem zurückgekehrt ist.
Narrative Mikrostruktur
Authors: Eckardt Regine 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Text comprehension is based on the literal content of sentences and pragmatic enrichment. Theories of pragmatic enrichment in the literature include enrichment of narrative texts, but also pragmatic content conveyed by presupposition triggers. Taking texts by Ror Wolf as my test case, I illustrate that our capacity of pragmatic enrichment can be abused to understand paradoxical content, even though the literal content of the text seems coherent at the surface level. This shows that pragmatic enrichment in narration is a genuine part of language processing and must not be equated with commonsense reasoning.
In search of hyperchaos in a high dimensional unmagnetized quantum plasma
Authors: Mandi Laxmikanta , Natiq Hayder , Chatterjee Prasanta , Ali Rustam , Banerjee Santo 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The hyperchaos and multistability of electron acoustic waves in a quantum plasma model comprising of nondegenerate cold and degenerate hot electrons and stationary ions are investigated. A six-dimensional dynamical system is constructed from the fluid equations of the model considering traveling wave transformation. The stability analysis of the system is done by finding out the equilibria in the inertia frame. It is interesting to investigate that though the novel system is conservative, it can produce hyperchaos for a set of associated parameters. We have also reported the coexistence of many hyperchaotic attractors as the system is extremely sensitive to the initials. The signature of hyperchaos and coexisting hyperchaos in a conservative quantum plasma system has never been reported before.
The Policy of Village Web-Based Land Affairs Administration Management as Prior Evidence in Land Registration in Indonesia
Authors: Yulianti Rina , Ikhwan Mufarrijul 
Published: December 2020

Indonesia has not had good land affairs administration management yet at Village Government Level. Land conflict or dispute derives from village’s very limited, manual, and outdated data. Data at village level still refers to data inherited from East Indie government time. The data available cannot meet the modern need today. Relatively inadequate human resource at village level and low awareness of land affair administration discipline within society make the change of prior data supply difficult. This research will study the utilization of village web in providing prior evidence of land registration and the juridical construction of web-based land affairs administration management to the organization of village government. The normative juridical research method with statute and conceptual approaches was used to address the problem of research. The result of research showed that the data of land affairs presented by village web can be the prior evidence as governed in Government Regulation about Land Registration and the provision without changing the source of evidence that can be either written evidence or testimony. The juridical construction of village web-based land affairs administration management derived from Village Law, Archive Law, and Information and Electronic Transaction Law. Village government can present the web-based land affairs data and make it electronic evidence. Keywords: Management, Administration, Land Affairs, Village Web
Reconstruction to Prove Elements of Detrimental to State Finances in the Criminal Act of Corruption in Indonesia
Authors: Firmansyah Firmansyah , Santoso Topo , Febrian Febrian , Nashriana Nashriana 
Published: December 2020

State financial loss is one of the elements of the criminal act of corruption in Article 2 paragraph (1) and Article 3 of Law No. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crime. The formulation of the element of detrimental to state finances in the two articles at the level of evidence still raises various obstacles because it is an obscure norm and is multi-interpretative in nature. The results of the research show that proving that the element of detrimental to state finances in the criminal act of corruption is still understood as a formal crime so that the proof is sufficient by fulfilling the act and there is no need for consequences, whether potential loss of state finances or actual loss, the perpetrator can be convicted. After the Constitutional Court through its decision Number 25/PUU-XIV/2016 stated that the word "can" in Article 2 paragraph (1) and Article 3 is unconstitutional and has fundamentally changed the qualification of corruption to become a material crime, but in its application there are different views of law enforcement officials in proving that the element is detrimental to state finances, giving rise to legal uncertainty. In the upcoming reform of the criminal law of corruption, a more appropriate model of proof is to use the concept of state financial loss in the sense of material crime. Through this concept, a new act can be seen as fulfilling the elements of a corruption crime on the condition that there must be an effect that the state loss is real and occurs (actual loss). The concept of proving state financial losses in a material sense ensures fair legal certainty. Keywords : Reconstruction, Evidence, State Financial Losses, Corruption Crime.

Published: December 2020

AbstractThe purpose of the article is to study the foreign science of administrative law and to determine certain areas of its adaptation in Ukraine. To achieve this purpose, we have used such methods of scientific cognition as: dialectical, historical, formal and logical, system and structural. The authors of the article have studied the content and specific features of foreign administrative and legal science, as well as have suggested possible ways to implement it into scientific and legal system of Ukraine. It has been stated that the effective development of the national system of public administration is impossible without the quality functioning of science, which deals with studying forms and methods of administration, and an effective management system is essential for the success of any country. It has been noted that in order to achieve high results in the work of state agencies, their staff must be well educated on the use of optimal forms and methods of administration activity. Professionals who represent the state or local self-governments while performing their professional duties must have all the necessary skills (means) to achieve the tactical and strategic objectives set before them. The leadership of such agencies must be able to think globally and be able to set specific and objective tasks, as well as to provide the most effective means for their implementation. The historical aspects of the formation and development of administrative and legal science as a key element of administrative system in different countries have been studied. Keywords: Administrative Law, Legal Regulation, Administrative and Legal Science, Administrative Activity, Legislative Provision.
Culinary traditions as key elements of cultural, educational and linguistic heritage transfer within the Israeli Hungarian community
Authors: Vadász Viola 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThis research was carried out in the framework of a larger qualitative study within the Hungarian community in Israel. The original aim was to identify and describe the appearance of the Hungarian language in the Israeli linguistic landscape. However, in the meantime, it became very clear that the existence and characteristics of the Hungarian community and the language they use is strongly connected to food and its position in the ancestral heritage. From that point, we aimed to show what it means to be Hungarian in Israel when it comes to cuisine and food as well as how culinary traditions relate to education and heritage transfer. Semi-structured interviews, biographical narrative interviews and participant observation as research methods shaped the complete picture we received. As the results show, few new initiations are slowly entering the canon of Hungarian-Israeli culinary traditions, but mostly it stands on its traditional feet. Wider communication, increased civic and youth awareness and reinforced gastronomic culture could promote new concepts and interest of younger people being interest in learning their culture and language of origin, and the related traditions.
Gambling disorder is associated with reduced sensitivity to expected value during risky choice

Published: December 2020

AbstractBackground and aimsIndividuals with gambling disorder display increased levels of risk-taking, but it is not known if it is associated with an altered subjective valuation of gains and/or losses, perception of their probabilities, or integration of these sources of information into expected value.MethodsParticipants with gambling disorder (n = 48) were compared with a healthy comparison group (n = 35) on a two-choice lottery task that involved either gains-only or losses-only gambles. On each trial, two lotteries were displayed, showing the associated probability and magnitude of the possible outcome for each. On each trial, participants chose one of the two lotteries, and the outcome was revealed.ResultsChoice behaviour was highly sensitive to the expected value of the two gambles in both the gain and loss domains. This sensitivity to expected value was attenuated in the group with gambling disorder. The group with gambling disorder used both probability and magnitude information less, and this impairment was greater for probability information. By contrast, they used prior feedback (win vs loss) to inform their next choice, despite the independence of each trial. Within the gambling disorder group, problem gambling severity and trait gambling-related cognitions independently predicted reduced sensitivity to expected value. The majority of observed effects were consistent across both gain and loss domains.Discussion and ConclusionsOur results provide a thorough characterization of decision processes in gain and loss domains in gambling disorder, and place these problems in the context of theoretical constructs from behavioural economics.
