Paratext oder paralleler Text?
Authors: Cividini Iacopo 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
In intertextuality studies, libretto is generally regarded as a paratext on the fringes of the opera performance. However, the extension of Gérard Genette’s concept of paratextuality to this medium does not fully acknowledge its essential contribution to the production of meaning during the opera performance. Based on the definition of theatre performance as plurality of simultaneous sign systems and by the example of the libretti to Mozart’s operas edited at the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation, the essay proposes an alternative semiotic concept of libretto as parallel text. This means an optional sign system that generates aesthetic content parallel to the other sign systems of the opera. In the context of this new intertextual definition of libretto, the digital medium proves to be particularly suitable for a libretto edition that serves both scholarly and practical purposes.
Literarische Interkulturalität kommentieren: Die mehrsprachige Lyrikübertragung in Sandscript von José F. A. Oliver und Marc James Mueller
Authors: Schickhaus Tobias Akira 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This article presents the poetry collection Sandscript (2018) by José Francisco Agüera Oliver translated and commentated by Marc James Mueller. In this edition the textual presence of multilingualism, using parallel bilingual poetry, is historicized by the footnotes and the individual commentaries on translation strategies, historical references and word explications. Sandscript deals with the phenomenon that the commentary is dedicated to a text of its own time created through the editorial teamwork between author and translator. Focus is put on to the question of how this edition is presented and to what extent traditions of commentary cultures can be reconstructed in this edition, published in 2018. In addition, the article aims to present a perspective for editorial and intercultural collaboration.
Kopenhagen als Nicht-Ort
Authors: Schlosser Jan T. 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
For the first time Emil Bønnelycke’s Asfaltens Sange (1918) is examined in the context of Marc Augé’s theory of places and non-places in this paper. The analysis of Asfaltens Sange focuses on the implicit presence of places and non-places. Reading Bønnelycke in content of Augé opens up for a new research position; it elucidates his position to ‘supermodernity’. Places and non-places are palimpsests in Bønnelycke’s text about Copenhagen’s urbanity. The main subject in Asfaltens Sange is the walk in Copenhagen. The big city is considered a space of formation that should be ‘read’ to disclose its anthropological status.
“Speak your word and break!”
Authors: Hron Irina 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
By tracing an alternative aesthetics of decomposition and fragmentation, this article offers a new understanding of the literary and poetological strategies Knut Hamsun uses to create a disintegrating text cosmos wherein the idea of ‘creation out of nothing’ (creatio ex nihilo) is one key to artistic originality. The article explores the interdependence of different notions of decline and shows that the image of the (biblical) fall is particularly important to the poetics and aesthetic structure of Hamsun’s Hunger (Sult, 1890). Around 1900, ideas of wholeness crumble, a decomposition which is reflected in the well-established philosophical and anthropological experiments of Nietzsche, Bourget and Simmel. Taking some of their aesthetic assumptions as a point of departure, the present paper argues that Hamsun’s novel offers an aesthetic variation on the decline of unity-based concepts, ranging from the subject to religious belief as well as to traditional storytelling.
Patterns ‘We’ Think By? Critical Cognitive Linguistics Between Language System and Language Use
Authors: Horst Dorothea 
Published: November 2020

AbstractTaking the interrelationship of language and thought as starting point, Cognitive Linguistics considers language as providing central insights into cognitive structures and processes as well as into their experiential basis. In its role as a gateway for exploring and describing phenomena at the interface between the individual and society by means of public language use, Cognitive Linguistics thus ranges between the poles of trans-situational, overarching language structures and situated, specific language use. But how exactly are system and use to be distinguished and related to one another? What range has, for example, a particular political frame detected from a sample of media coverage with regard to ‘its’ audience? When can we reliably label several instances of individual language use as an overarching language pattern or a frame? The paper aims to address these and further questions in reference to Critical Cognitive Linguistics concerning, for one thing, its own theoretical and methodological assumptions and, for another, its social role in light of current social and political phenomena and developments.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
In this study, some new biscarbazole derivatives were synthesized for the purpose of being used in OLED technologies and related areas. The following compounds: {1,2-bis(2-(3,6-diphenyl-9H-carbazole-9-yl) ethoxy)ethane (C-1), bis[2-(2-(3,6- diphenyl-9H-carbazole-9-yl) ethoxy)etyl]ether (C-2), bis[2-(2-(3,6-di(naphthalene-1-yl)-9H-carbazol-9-yl)ethoxy)etyl]ether (C-3) and bis [2-(2-(3,6-di(naphthalene-2-yl)-9H-carbazol-9-yl)ethoxy) ethyl]ether (C-4) were synthesized by Suzuki-Miyaura Cross Coupling reactions. The structural properties of the synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and LC-MS. The maximum product yields of 81.6% were obtained for C-4 biscarbazole derivatives. The optical properties were studied using UV-visible and temperature/excitation power density dependent photoluminescence (PL) techniques. The emissions were observed at green and yellow-red color spectral bands. By applying Gaussian fitting to the measured spectra, the superposition of the broad peaks was deconvoluted into two peaks. The origin of emissions was attributed to π- π* transition in aromatic compounds caused by intramolecular charge transfer from host carbazole to these compounds.
Hydrogen production via surrogate biomass gasification using 5% Ni and low loading of lanthanum co-impregnated on fluidizable γ-alumina catalysts

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Nickel on alumina support offers opportunity for gasification of biomass for hydrogen production. In a recent contribution from our research team, (González Castañeda, D. G., et al. 2019) showed that cerium or lanthanum co-impregnation at 2 wt% with nickel may have a favorable effect for biomass catalytic gasification. However, and given an observed influence of lanthanum on the formation of small Ni crystallite sizes, five Ni/γ-Al2O3 based fluidizable La promoted catalysts were studied. Nickel-alumina catalysts promotion was effected varying La in the 0.5 and 1.0 wt% range. Once impregnation precursors loaded, they were reduced at 480 °C via an activation step. Catalysts were characterized using BET, XRD, AA, TPR, TPD, H2-chemisorption, TEM-EDX and FTIR. Catalyst performance was established in a fluidized CREC Riser Simulator, using: a) glucose as surrogate biomass, b) 600 °C, c) steam/biomass (S/B) ratio of 1, d) catalyst /biomass (C/B) ratio of 3.2 and e) 20 s reaction time. Data obtained was analyzed using an ANOVA statistical data analysis package with the 5 wt% Ni and 0.5–1 wt% La and Ce on γ-Al2O3 catalysts, prepared using a pH of 1 of impregnating solution were the best yielding 0.53–0.56 hydrogen molar fractions. These catalysts also gave a 39% reduced coke, and this while compared with the coke formed on the 2% Ce – 5 wt%Ni/γ-Al2O3 (González Castañeda, D. G., et al. 2019). This promising performance was assigned to the dominant NH3-TPD medium acidity, the high catalyst specific surface (∼140 m2/g), and the good 9% metal dispersion with 9–10 nm nickel crystallites.
Application of partial eigenvalue assignment techniques to dampen electromechanical oscillations in multi-machine power systems
Authors: Silva Erick Baleeiro da , Araújo José Mário 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
In this study, a methodology for partial eigenstructure assignment (PEVA) is applied to dampen electromechanical oscillations in electrical multi-machine power systems. The approach is anchored in allocating a small number of undesirable eigenvalues, for example, which are poorly damped, preserving the other eigenvalues in the system - the so-called no-spillover spectrum. The new position of the selected eigenvalues is carried out based on the partial controllability analysis of the system, in order to minimize the control effort. Simulation examples using a system with 68 buses, 16 generators and five areas showed that the presented methodology is efficient in dampening the local and inter-area oscillation modes when compared to the classic power system stabilizers (PSS). The quality of the solution is illustrated through computer simulations, eigenvalues tables and mode-shapes.
Screening and characterisation of β-glucosidase production strains from Rosa roxburghii Tratt
Authors: Liu Xiaozhu , Li Yinfeng , Yu Zhihai , Liu Xiaohui , Hardie William James , Huang Mingzheng 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The β-glucosidase properties from one yeast isolate identified as Wickerhamomyces anomalus C4 were characterised. The β-glucosidase activity of W. anomalus C4 was 41.83 ± 0.25 mU/mL, and the optimum temperature and pH were 40 °C and 5.0, respectively. The glucose, 10% v/v of ethanol and 10 mmol/L of Cu2+ inhibited the β-glycosidases activities. The isolate W. anomalus C4 had a stronger alcohol metabolism capacity than commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae X16. Besides, fermentation with W. anomalus C4 alone and co-fermentations with S. cerevisiae X16 and W. anomalus C4 reduced the volatile acids content and the sourness value compared to S. cerevisiae X16 control. Moreover, inoculation with W. anomalus C4 could enhance volatile aroma richness and complexity of Rosa roxburghii wines, regardless of type or amount thereof. Therefore, the R. roxburghii native yeast isolate W. anomalus C4 may have some application potentials for R. roxburghii wine-making.
Primary aortoduodenal fistula – overlooked because of guidelines?
Authors: Wiesmueller Felix , Neufert Clemens , Siebler Jürgen , Croner Roland , Lang Werner , Grützmann Robert 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Primary aortoduodenal fistula is an uncommon yet mostly lethal finding. We present a case of a 63 year-old male who exhibited significant upper gastrointestinal bleeding and hemorrhagic shock. Repeated endoscopies did not detect any source of bleeding. Emergency laparotomy disclosed an aortoduodenal fistula. Despite intense medical efforts for several months the patient did not fully recover and treatment was limited to palliative care. In light of the substantial mortality associated with this condition, computed tomography imaging should be performed in case of doubt to prevent delayed diagnosis.

Published: November 2020

Abstract

Objectives
A significant number of patients with colorectal cancer are presented with various conditions requiring surgery in an oncologically palliative setting. We performed this study to identify risk factors for early outcome after surgery to facilitate the decision-making process for therapy in a palliative disease.

Methods
We performed a retrospective chart review of 142 patients who underwent palliative surgery due to locally advanced, complicated, or advanced metastatic colorectal carcinoma between January 2010 and April 2018 at the “Elbland” Medical Center Riesa. We performed a logistic regression analysis of 43 factors to identify independent predictors for complications and mortality.

Results
Surgery included resections with primary anastomosis (n=31; 21.8%) or discontinuous resections with colostomy (n=38; 26.8%), internal bypasses (n=27; 19.0%) and stoma formation only (n=46; 32.4%). The median length of hospitalization was 12 days (2–53 days), in-hospital morbidity was 50.0% and the mortality rate was 18.3%. Independent risk factors of in-hospital morbidity were age (HR: 1.5, p=0.046) and various comorbidities of the patients [obesity (HR: 1.8, p=0.036), renal failure (HR: 1.6, p=0.040), diabetes (HR: 1.6, p=0.032), alcohol abuse (HR: 1.3, p=0.023)] as well as lung metastases (HR: 1.6, p=0.041). Arteriosclerosis (HR: 1.4; p=0.045) and arterial hypertension (HR: 1.4, p=0.042) were independent risk factors for medical complications in multivariate analysis. None of the analyzed factors predicted the surgical morbidity after the palliative procedures. Emergency surgery (HR: 10.2, p=0.019), intestinal obstruction (HR: 9.2, p=0.006) and ascites (HR: 5.0, p=0.034) were multivariate significant parameters of in-hospital mortality.

Conclusions
Palliatively treated patients with colorectal cancer undergoing surgery show high rates of morbidity and mortality after surgery. In this retrospective chart review, independent risk factors for morbidity and in-hospital mortality were identified that are similar to patients in curative care. An adequate selection of patients before palliative operation should lead to a better outcome after surgery. Especially in patients with intestinal obstruction and ascites scheduled for emergency surgery, every effort should be made to convey these patients to elective surgery by interventional therapy, such as a stent or minimally invasive stoma formation.
Weather Prediction in Babylonia
Authors: Ossendrijver Mathieu 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThis paper addresses developments in the prediction of weather phenomena in Late Babylonian scholarly texts. Previously published and unpublished texts are analyzed and the underlying methods are compared with omen-based weather prognostication, developments in Babylonian astronomical prediction and reporting practices in the astronomical diaries. It is found that some texts combine long-term astronomical prediction with inferential methods for predicting weather phenomena. It is argued that these new methods for predicting weather phenomena are part of a larger Babylonian effort to predict and explain non-astronomical phenomena by relating them to predictable astronomical phenomena.

Published: November 2020

AbstractWith the climate change processes over times, all professions and trades in Three Gorges Reservoir Area will be influenced. One of the biggest challenges is the risk of rising sea level. In this situation, a large number of uncertainties for climate changes will be faced in Three Gorges Reservoir Area. Therefore, it is of importance to investigate the complexity of decision making on investing in the long term rising sea level risk related projects in Three Gorges Reservoir Area. This paper investigates the sea level and the temperature as the underlying assets in Three Gorges Reservoir Area. A real option model is constructed to evaluate potential sea level rising risk. We formulate European and American real option models into a linear parabolic variational inequalities and propose a power penalty approach to solve it. Then we obtain a nonlinear parabolic equation. It shows that the nonlinear parabolic equation is unique and solvable. Also, the solutions of the nonlinear parabolic equation converge to the solutions of the parabolic variational inequalities at the rate of orderO(λ−k/2). Since the analytic solution of nonlinear parabolic equation is difficult to obtain, a fitted finite volume method is developed to solve it in case of European and American options, and the convergence of the nonlinear parabolic equation is obtained. An empirical analysis is presented to illustrate our theoretical results.
Enhancement of reliability and security in spatial diversity FSO-CDMA wiretap channel

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Due to atmospheric turbulence, the reliability and security of free space optical (FSO) communication will be affected seriously. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme of quasisynchronous spatial diversity free-space optical code division multiple access (FSO-CDMA) wiretap channel based on gamma-gamma distribution. Considering multiple access interference, shot noise, thermal noise and background noise, performances of bit error rate (BER) and physical-layer security are analyzed theoretically. The physical-layer security of quasisynchronous spatial diversity FSO-CDMA wiretap channel is evaluated by secrecy capacity and interception probability. Closed-form expression of interception probability is obtained. In order to compare the performances between conventional spatial diversity FSO-CDMA and the proposed scheme, Optisystem simulation is carried out. The results indicate that quasisynchronous spatial diversity FSO-CDMA scheme can improve the reliability and physical-layer security simultaneously.
Does confirmation bias exist in judged events at the Olympic Games?
Authors: Hilmer Christiana , Hilmer Michael John 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Examining data for the 10 Olympic Games contested this century, we ask whether confirmation bias exists in judged events. We theorize that if such bias is present, then competitors in judged events should perform closer to predicted than competitors in non-judged events. Among a sample of over 5100 predicted medalists from the 10 Games, we find that, all else equal, the differences between ex-ante conventional wisdom and ex-post observed outcome are larger for competitors in timed events than for competitors in judged events. These results suggest that confirmation bias does potentially exist for judged events at the Olympic Games.
The Kantian Elements in Arthur Pap’s Philosophy
Authors: Stump David J. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractArthur Pap worked in analytic philosophy while maintaining a strong Kantian or neo-Kantian element throughout his career, stemming from his studying with Ernst Cassirer. I present these elements in the different periods of Pap’s works, showing him to be a consistent critic of logical empiricism, which Pap shows to be incapable of superseding the Kantian framework. Nevertheless, Pap’s work is definitely analytic philosophy, both in terms of the content and the style. According to Pap, the central topics of analytic philosophy concern meaning, modality, and analysis. Pap was also influenced by pragmatism, especially in his dissertation, although he does not fully embrace it in either its classical or its Quinean form.
The Ambivalent Legacy of the Crisaeans: Athens’ Interstate Relations (and the Phocian Factor) in 4th-Century Public Discourse
Authors: Franchi Elena 
Published: November 2020

SummaryThe First Sacred War was hotly debated in the 4th century. The crimes committed by the Crisaeans in this war were later equated to those committed by the Phocians during the Third Sacred War, or those committed by the Locrians of Amphissa during the Fourth Sacred War. This paper shows how the parallels drawn between the First and Third Sacred Wars (SW1–SW3) and between the First and Fourth Sacred Wars (SW1–SW4) were respectively shaped and used as an argument in two different milieus: in pro-Macedonian intellectual circles in Athens, and in the Athenian forensic and deliberative arena. The main aim of this paper is to understand why ‘SW1–SW3’ is not used as an argument in the latter. In fact, Athens’ most prominent politicians had to cope with the Athenian support for the Phocians in the so-called Third Sacred War. Thus, the Phocians were depicted as guilty, but not to the point that they were compared to the Crisaeans. The legacy of the latter was ambivalent and lent itself to this shift in meaning.
From connective construction to final particle: The emergence of the Korean disapproval markerhakonun
Authors: Kim Minju 
Published: November 2020

AbstractUsing conversational data, frequency counts, and prosodic evidence drawn from corpora of 70 television drama series and 142 audio-recorded natural conversations, I demonstrate that the Korean connective constructionhakonun‘after having done,’ which comprisesha‘do’,ko‘and’ and the topic markernunand indicates a temporal sequence, has developed into a final particle that encodes a speaker’s stance of criticism and complaint. I show that the source,hakonun,has routinely been used in expressing concessive relations between two sequential events that go against the speaker’s expectation (‘counter-expectation’), and thus, is frequently used to challenge a hearer (e.g., ‘after having done many evil deeds, how can you ask for my help?’). Through this use, the speaker’s negative affect and stance of disapproval have become semanticized withhakonun. Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of (inter)subjectification and insubordination, I propose thathakonunand Japaneseshi‘and’ constitute another case of crosslinguistically similar development of connectives becoming final particles. McGloin and Konishi (2010) argue that through its frequent use in the context of counter-expectation,shi‘and’ has recently developed into a final particle expressing a speaker’s negative stance such as criticism and complaint.
Investigating the Uncertainty of Government Economic Policies on Inbound Tourism in Iran
Authors: Mohammadzadeh Azam , Shahiki Tash Mohammad Nabi 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Over the past three decades, there has been an increasing focus on the subject of global tourism in Iran’s economy. This article examines the most important economic factors affecting this industry in this country, especially economic policy uncertainty. For this purpose, three models specify the number of tourists entering the country as a dependent variable and Consumer Price Index, Tehran Exchange Price Index, market exchange rate, semi-annual dummy variable, and exports as explanatory variables. To investigate the uncertainty of the government’s economic policies, three variables liquidity fluctuations, tax revenue fluctuations, and government expenditures fluctuations have been added along with the above variables. To obtain the fluctuations, the GARCH function is used then the relations are estimated by the GMM method. The estimation of models using monthly data from March 2011 to August 2018 shows that explanatory variables are significant. The results indicate that economic policy uncertainty has negatively affected the arrival of the tourist. An increase in exchange rate, consumer price index, exports, and stock market price index have a positive effect on the arrival of tourists. Therefore, due to inbound tourism sensitivity to shocks, the growth and survival of tourism depend on economic and political stability.
