Vom Schrank und seinen Türen und einem Meer, das lachte

Abstract
The paper deals with the semantic theory of interpretation of A. F. Losev in his early period up to 1930 as well as in his linguistic investigations in the 70’s and 80’s of the last century. In using a word or some grammatical category, a speaker already interprets some state of affairs. In a sense, all invariant meaning seems to be metaphorical, i.e. meanings are interpretations of the world. This theory is illustrated with some famous examples by Losev himself: Garden, cabinet, the sentence “The sea was laughing”. Reflecting about his garden and his cabinet Losev shows the difference and convergence of parts and the whole: trees, flowers or the cabinet’s doors on the one hand, and the garden or the cabinet as a whole on the other. These relations are related to the meaning of words. In his early works, especially in the Philosophy of the Name and the Dialectics of Myth, Losev sees in meaning a semantic cluster which develops within speech (in sentences, narrations or myths). The works of the late period investigate invariant meanings of words and grammatical categories in the sense of some interpretive force.
„Skarbiec przemożny drogich pamiątek”. Zarys dziejów Archiwum Polskiej Prowincji Dominikanów w Krakowie
Authors: Sanak Marcin 
Published: April 2020

W średniowieczu bracia kaznodzieje przechowywali archiwalia w skrzyniach, a rękopisy po zmarłych zakonnikach w bibliotekach klasztornych. Sformułowanie „archivio communi provinciae” („wspólne archiwum prowincji”) po raz pierwszy pojawiło się w aktach kapituły generalnej dominikanów w Wenecji w 1592 r. Kolejne kapituły polecały braciom bezpieczne przechowywanie przywilejów, bulli i akt procesów, spisywanie źródeł do historii prowincji oraz tworzenie inwentarzy dóbr, których duplikaty miały trafiać do centralnego archiwum prowincji. Ostateczne prawne ustanowienie archiwów prowincji miało miejsce na kapitule generalnej w Rzymie w 1756 r. Archiwum prowincji polskiej w XVIII w. przechowywano w bibliotece konwentu krakowskiego pw. św. Trójcy; w związku z planami beatyfikacji Męczenników Sandomierskich, generał zakonu polecił jego katalogowanie. W pierwszej połowie następnego stulecia mieściło się już w odrębnym pomieszczeniu, dzięki czemu przetrwało pożar klasztoru w 1850 r. W następnych dekadach archiwum ponownie znajdowało się w bibliotece; na przełomie XIX i XX w. opiekował się nim br. Kazimierz Jucewicz, a w drugiej dekadzie XX w. prac porządkowych podjął się o. Jacek Woroniecki OP. W 1926 r. ustanowiono urząd archiwariusza prowincji, który sprawowali kolejno ojcowie: Fabian Madura, Zygmunt Ogarek, Andrzej Gmurowski, Robert Świętochowski i Efrem Gliński. W 1937 r. archiwum zostało przeniesione do odrębnego magazynu. Na powojenne zorganizowanie Archiwum Polskiej Prowincji Dominikanów w obecnym kształcie duży wpływ miało ulokowanie w Krakowie licznych materiałów z likwidowanych klasztorów na Kresach południowo-wschodnich. Urząd archiwisty prowincji od 1946 r. pełnili ojcowie: Robert Świętochowski, Paweł Kielar, Zygmunt Bruno Mazur i Jan Andrzej Spież. Od 2009 r. archiwum kieruje o. Ireneusz Wysokiński OP.

Published: April 2020

Bacillus licheniformis MZK05 was subjected to mutation by ultraviolet radiation for enhanced production of keratinase. Of 750 isolates from irradiated plates, 200 colonies that showed zone of casein hydrolysis on Skim Milk Agar were cultured in liquid Feather Meal Medium containing digested feather as carbon and nitrogen source in shake culture at 37ºC. The mutant B. licheniformis MZK05M9 (BlM9) exhibited highest enzyme activity of 170 ± 5.63 U/ml as compared to 74 ± 5.29 U/ml by the wild MZK05. Both the strains were examined for the presence of gene encoded for keratinase (kerA gene) by PCR using primer which showed the product sizes 1156 bp and 520 bp, respectively for MZK05 and BlM9. The keratinase from both strains exhibited a thermal stability of about 97% for 2 hrs at 40°C whereas the keratinase of the mutant strain showed less stability (55%) at 50°C. The BlM9 while cultivated in batch culture in 7 litre bioreactor for production of the keratinase in the Feather Meal Medium, the productivity was found to be double (17,608 U/L/hr) than that of in the shake flask culture (8,525 U/L/hr). This improved strain thus will be very useful for large scale production of keratinase enabling its technical applications in industry.

The use of biochar as ameliorator for soil arsenic
Authors: Noor Nadia , Mahmud Kishan , Chowdhury Md Tanvir Ahmed , Huq SM Imamul 
Published: April 2020

Biochar and biomass were applied at the rate of 5 t/ha to soils that received arsenic containing water at a rate of 1 mg/l arsenic (80% arsenite and 20% arsenate). After 36 days of growth of Kalmi plants, the yield parameters, such as arsenic accumulation and fate of arsenic vis‐á‐vis biochar addition had been examined. The results showed that the addition of biochar had a positive but non‐significant impact on the yield parameters. Addition of biochar in the soil insignificantly increased the number of plants and the uptake of arsenic while the concentrations of extractable arsenic in soil decreased with biochar treatments. Source of biochar has a role to play towards this direction.

Published: April 2020

Middle mountain areas of Nepal Himalaya is seriously suffering from ecological degradation and an estimation of over 240 million cubic meter of top soil is being eroded annually to the Bay of Bengal. Thirteen per cent of Nepal’s watershed area have deteriorated seriously and 10,000 sq km are devoid of sufficient vegetation. Top soil loss from the mountain results in the riverbeds’ raise at a annual rate of 15 ‐ 30 cm and its effect on soil fertility declines. Considering this, an attempt was made to estimate the soil loss using GI Science technology and its correlative interpretation with land system units and land use and cover types from Maheshkhola watershed. Among several empirical and physically‐based erosion models, Revised USLE (RUSLE) using RKLSCP was used to estimate the soil loss in the present analysis. A total of 231,155 ton soil was estimated annually being lost from Maheshkhola watershed. Erosion rates were found highly associated with the slope of land system units. Thirty three per cent of the total soil loss were mainly contributed only by each land system units, 11 and 12. Depositional dissected alluvial fan was found highest of 3.62 t/ha/yr soil loss among the averages. Agriculture as a dominant human activity, spatially concentrated in 61.53% of the watershed area, was contributing significantly as of 90% of the total soil loss in the study area. Similarly soil cliff/landslide and river sand areas contributed 10.11 t/ha/yr and 9.38 t/ha/yr on an average, respectively. The land units, steeply mountainous terrain having soil loss more than 35 t/ha/yr must be given higher priorities for soil conservation.

Published: April 2020

The purpose of this study was to adapt Stirling Children’s Well-Being Scale (SCWBS) for measuring well-being of children of Bangladesh. Data were collected from 238 students, ages between 10 to 16 years of three different schools of Dhaka city. Psychometric properties were measured through Cronbach’s alpha (0.746), split-half (0.782), test-retest (0.791), which were satisfactory, respectively at 0.05, 0.05, and 0.01 level of significance. The demonstration of construct validity with Beck Self-Concept Inventory for Youth (BSCI-Y) and Beck Anxiety Inventory for Youth (BAI-Y) (two subtests of Adapted Bangla Beck Youth Inventories of Emotional and Social Impairment Scale) were 0.668 and –0.350, respectively, and item-total correlation (0.258 to 0.451) was also satisfactory. Thus psychometric results support that Bangla SCWBS is suitable for use in Bangladesh context. Mental health professionals can use Bangla SCWBS as a useful tool to assess changes in children’s wellbeing from a positive psychological perspective.

Published: April 2020

An experiment was conducted during T. Aman 2010 and Boro 2010-11 seasons to determine the effect of industrial effluents on seed germination and seedling growth of rice. In both the seasons, all the effluents and city waste water (CWW) had no effect on rice seed germination except pharmaceutical effluent. Pharmaceutical effluent showed the lowest seed germination. City waste water gave the highest shoot length (8.40 and 5.38 cm) and root length (8.06 and 6.35 cm) in the T. Aman and Boro seasons, respectively. Pharmaceutical effluent gave the highest shoot-root ratio of 10.49 while tannery effluent gave lowest ratio of 0.91. In both T. Aman and Boro seasons, seedling weight with and without endosperm, seedlings dry weight, seedling strength were found higher with CWW. During T. Aman and Boro seasons, relative germination ratio showed higher with a beverage effluent but relative shoot and root elongation ratio were found higher with CWW managed treatment.

Published: April 2020

Hudson’s parental‐child attachment scale (PCAS) is a popular instrument to assess the quality of parental child attachment ‐ the emotional bond that influences the social and emotional development of a child. The present study adapted this scale for using with Bangla speaking parents and their children. This study was conducted with 100 children and their parents (either father or mother). The internal consistency of the parental‐child attachment scale was computed by Cronbach’s alpha which was 0.888 for youth items and 0.816 for parent items. The split‐half reliability co‐efficient of the scale was 0.787 for youth items and 0.779 for parent items. So the preliminary reliability and content validity of the scale has been established.

Published: April 2020

The present study intends to investigate the medium-term effect of early life weather shock on non-verbal intelligence of SIDR affected children. The hypothesis was, the nonverbal IQ of SIDR affected children would be lower than the non-verbal IQ of SIDR non-affected children. For this purpose, 60 students of grade 4 - 5 were selected as respondents. Among them half of the respondents were from SIDR affected area and remaining were from non-affected area. In order to measure non-verbal intelligence, Test of Non-verbal Intelligence-2 (TONI-2) was administered which was developed by Brown et al. (1990). Independent-sample t-test was employed to compare the non-verbal intelligence of the participants in SIDR affected and SIDR non-affected conditions. The result shown that there is a significant difference on non-verbal intelligence between affected and non-affected samples and the nonverbal intelligence (IQ) of SIDR affected children is significantly lower than the non-verbal intelligence (IQ) of non-affected participants.

Authors: Islam MR , Saha PK , Zaman SK , Uddin MJ 
Published: April 2020

Two field experiments were conducted in two AEZs of Bangladesh viz. AEZ 28 and AEZ 3 to test the performance of waste concern organic fertilizer (WCOF) on the growth and yield of T. aman rice. The test sites were selected in the BRRI farm, Gazipur under AEZ 28 and BRRI farm Rangpur under AEZ 3. The experiments were done by using six treatments where T1 = Absolute control, T2 = NPKS @ 80-35-40-10 kg/ha, T3 = T2 + 1 t WCOF/ha, T4 = 75% of T2 + 1 t WCOF/ha, T5 = 50% of T2 + 2 t WCOF/ha and T6 = 2 t WCOF/ha. The application of WCOF in combination with chemical fertilizer significantly increased plant height, panicle number, grain and straw yields of T. aman rice over control in both AEZs. It was observed that the application of WCOF @ 1 t/ha + 75% of T2 (NPKS @ 80-35-40-10 kg/ha) produced higher yields. The study revealed that the treatments T4 and T5 may be the most economically viable fertilizer management packages for T. aman rice cultivation in AEZ 28 while the treatment T4 may be recommended for AEZ 3.

Published: April 2020

The study was carried out to determine length-weight relationship and sex ratio of a freshwater fish Amblypharyngodon mola (Hamilton 1822) collected from Dekar haor of Sunamganj district during the period of January to August 2017. A total of 2000 fishes were collected for the study and categorized these fishes into three groups namely males, females and combined sexes. Among 2000 mola 777 were male and 1223 were female. Length-weight equations and the correlation coefficients obtained for males, females and combined ones were: males Y = –1.97 + 3.00X, r = 0.883; females Y = –2.30 + 3.41X, r = 0.914 and combined Y = –2.11 + 3.16X, r = 0.904. Female’s A. mola attained more weight with the increases in length. Value of correlation coefficient ‘r’ was 0.883 for male and exhibited highly positive correlation between length and weight. On the contrary, ‘r’ value for female was 0.914 and it had also strongly positive correlation between length and weight relationships. Length-weight relationship of A. mola for male, female and combined sexes showed allometric pattern of growth. Condition factor ‘K’ for male, female and combined sexes was 1.09, 1.05 and 1.06, respectively and indicated better condition of fishes. The highest sex ratio (1 : 2.05) was found in May and the lowest (1 : 1.33) was in February. Dominance of females over males throughout the year was observed with an average ratio of male and female 1 : 1.57. Therefore, results of the study indicate that the existing hydrobiological conditions of the haor are conducive for food availability, free movement, feeding and better growth of the fish.

PERANAN ETIKA BISNIS DALAM MENEJEMEN KESELAMATAN DAN KESEHATAN KERJA
Authors: Anisa Nur 
Published: April 2020

In the environment where we live or where we carry out economic activities, we often find that business activities carried out by a person or a certain business group often ignore the ethics in conducting their activities. Many deviations are made in line with the purpose of doing business activities only to achieve maximum profits without providing a comfort effect for workers. Many of the few business people we meet may not pay attention to their employees, especially in maintaining work safety and safety or easily usually abbreviated as K3 (occupational safety and health). For this reason, every business person needs to pay attention to the role of business ethics in occupational safety and health. With the implementation of the occupational safety and health management system (K3), the company has carried out ethics or is responsible for the worst possibilities that occur as a result of work activities. The image of companies that have implemented occupational safety and health management (K3) will get a positive assessment from the community so that they can compete in the global era

Published: April 2020

Prispevek obravnava kartiranje onesnaževalcev podtalnice na alpski kraški planoti Velika planina. Kljub temu, da na planoti ni stalne poselitve, je kakovost vode v izvirih pod planoto ogrožena zaradi športne, turistične in živinorejske aktivnosti na planoti. V izvirih so že zabeležili onesnaženje, kar kaže na pomanjkljivosti upravljanja s pitno vodo tudi na neposeljenih območjih alpskega krasa, ki so sicer z vidika varovanja zelo primerna za zaščito. The present paper presents the hazard mapping of groundwater on the Velika planina alpine karst plateau. There are no permanent residents on the plateau. Nevertheless, some serious hazards to the quality of the respective karst springs are arising from sports, tourist and farming activities. Some pollution has been already recorded in springs, showing the shortcomings of drinking water management also in uninhabited alpine karst areas, which are ordinarily very favourable for water protection.

Published: April 2020

• Background For any given traumatic injury, older adults experience a longer hospitalization, more complications, and higher mortality than do younger patients.
• Objectives To prospectively identify problems in designing follow-up studies in seriously injured older adults without head injury and to examine outcomes after serious trauma in older adults who were sent to a level I trauma center.
• Methods A short-term descriptive follow-up design was used in which each patient served as his or her baseline. Eligible patients had injuries that required admission to an intensive care unit, a hospital length of stay longer than 72 hours, or surgery. Patients with isolated hip fractures, central nervous system injuries, and burn injuries were excluded. Data were collected by using standardized instruments during the acute hospital stay and 3 months after discharge from the hospital.
• ResultsDuring a representative 2-month period, 21% of a potential 77 subjects died in the hospital, 44% had cognitive impairment that precluded participation, and 17% declined to participate. Twenty older adults (mean age 73.5 years) who were injured in motor vehicle crashes (45%), falls (35%), or pedestrian accidents (15%) or who had gunshot wounds (5%) were enrolled. Ten percent died after discharge. Levels of physical disability at 3 months after discharge were higher than those before the injury (score on Sickness Impact Profile physical subscale 24.5 vs 10.9, P = .02), and psychological distress (Impact of Event Scale score 20.9) remained elevated.
• Conclusion Mortality, disability, and posttraumatic psychological distress after discharge are problems in seriously injured older adults.

AbstractLithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries present one of the most promising energy storage systems owing to their high energy density and low cost. However, the commercialization of Li–S batteries is still hindered by several technical issues; the notorious polysulfide shuttling and sluggish sulfur conversion kinetics. In this work, unique hierarchical Fe3‐xC@C hollow microspheres as an advanced sulfur immobilizer and promoter for enabling high‐efficiency Li–S batteries is developed. The porous hollow architecture not only accommodates the volume variation upon the lithiation–delithiation processes, but also exposes vast active interfaces for facilitated sulfur redox reactions. Meanwhile, the mesoporous carbon coating establishes a highly conductive network for fast electron transportation. More importantly, the defective Fe3‐xC nanosized subunits impose strong LiPS adsorption and catalyzation, enabling fast and durable sulfur electrochemistry. Attributed to these structural superiorities, the obtained sulfur electrodes exhibit excellent electrochemical performance, i.e., high areal capacity of 5.6 mAh cm−2, rate capability up to 5 C, and stable cycling over 1000 cycles with a low capacity fading rate of 0.04% per cycle at 1 C, demonstrating great promise in the development of practical Li–S batteries.
