Distributive Justice in the Lab: Testing the Binding Role of Agreement
Authors: Faillo Marco , Marcon Laura , Francés-Gómez Pedro 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Lorenzo Sacconi and his coauthors have put forward the hypothesis that impartial agreements on distributive rules may generate a conditional preference for conformity. The observable effect of this preference would be compliance with fair distributive rules chosen behind a veil of ignorance, even in the absence of external coercion. This paper uses a Dictator Game with production and taking option to compare two ways in which the device of the veil of ignorance may be thought to generate a motivation for, and compliance with a fair distributive rule: individually-as a thought experiment that should work as a moral cue- and collectively-as an actual process of agreement among subjects. The main result is that actual agreement proves to be necessary for agents to be led towards a fair distributive principle and to generate a significant amount of compliance in absence of external authority. This conclusion vindicates the role of actual agreements in generating motivational power in correspondence with fair distributive rules.
Moral Progress: Improvement of Moral Concepts, Refinements of Moral Motivation
Authors: Nunner-Winkler Gertrud 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
In their recent book Buchanan and Powell claim that there is moral progress. Their analysis focuses on increasing inclusiveness, yet they also suggest other dimensions as possible indicators-improvements in the concept of morality and refinements in moral motivation. In the following I present empirical data on changes in moral understanding that occurred during the second half of the 20th century in Germany. These changes concern an increasing delimitation of the moral realm, the rise of an ethics of responsibility, the displacement of an orientation to super ego dictates by a more ego-syntonic type of moral motivation. This research largely follows the ‘cognitivist’ paradigm which I start off defending against Haidt’s counter proposal of moral intuitionism. Feasible explanatory factors for the changes documented are put forward-processes of secularization and changes in socialization styles-and their interpretation as indicators of moral progress is discussed. The paper ends with brief speculations concerning possible reasons for current moral regressions.
Spatiotemporal dynamics of terrestrial invertebrate assemblages in the riparian zone of the Wewe river, Ashanti region, Ghana

Published: June 2020

AbstractThis study assessed invertebrate response to disturbances in the riparian zone of the Wewe river, using geometric series, rarefaction, Renyi diversity, and CCA models. We sampled 2,077 individuals (dry season) and 2,282 (wet season) belonging to 16 invertebrate orders. The severely disturbed habitat registered the highest individuals (n= 1,999), while the least was the moderately disturbed habitat (n= 740). Seasonal assemblages were not significantly different. Fire, farming, tree felling, and erosion explained 66.8% and 60.55% in the dry and wet seasons, respectively, of variations in invertebrate assemblages. This suggests threats to the invertebrate community and the riparian ecosystem health by anthropogenic interventions.
Knockdown of DDX46 inhibits trophoblast cell proliferation and migration through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in preeclampsia
Authors: You Xin , Cui Hongyan , Yu Ning , Li Qiuli 
Published: June 2020

AbstractPreeclampsia (PE) is a serious disease during pregnancy associated with the dysfunction of trophoblast cell invasion. DDX46 is a kind of RNA helicase that has been found to regulate cancer cell metastasis. However, the role of DDX46 in PE remains unclear. Our results showed that the mRNA levels of DDX46 in placental tissues of pregnant women with PE were markedly lower than those in normal pregnancies. Loss-of-function assays showed that knockdown of DDX46 significantly suppressed cell proliferation of trophoblast cells. Besides, DDX46 knockdown decreased trophoblast cell migration and invasion capacity. In contrast, the overexpression of DDX46 promoted the migration and invasion of trophoblast cells. Furthermore, knockdown of DDX46 caused significant decrease in the levels of p-PI3K, p-Akt, and p-mTOR in HTR-8/SVneo cells. In addition, treatment with IGF-1 reversed the inhibitory effects of DDX46 knockdown on proliferation, migration, and invasion of HTR-8/SVneo cells. In conclusion, these data suggest that DDX46 might be involved in the progression of PE, which might be attributed to the regulation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Thus, DDX46 might serve as a therapeutic target for the treatment of PE.

Published: June 2020

AbstractThe synthesis of collagen–hydroxyapatite composites has been carried out, and the biocompatibility and osteoconductivity properties have been tested. This research was conducted to determine the ability of hydroxyapatite–collagen composites to support the bone growth through the graft surface. Hydroxyapatite used in this study was synthesized from coral with a purity of 96.6%, while collagen was extracted from the chicken claw. The process of forming a scaffold of collagen–hydroxyapatite composites was carried out using the freeze-drying method at −80°C for 4 h. The biocompatibility characteristics of the sample through the cytotoxicity tests showed that the percentage of viable cells in collagen–hydroxyapatite biocomposite was 108.2%, which is higher than the percentage of viable cells of hydroxyapatite or collagen material. When the viable cell is above 100%, collagen–hydroxyapatite composites have excellent osteoconductivity as a material for bone regeneration.
New Schiff bases of 2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)acetohydrazide and their Cu(ii), and Zn(ii) metal complexes: their in vitro antimicrobial potentials and in silico physicochemical and pharmacokinetics properties
Authors: Althobiti Hanan A. , Zabin Sami A. 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThe purpose of this work was to prepare Schiff base ligands containing quinoline moiety and using them for preparing Cu(ii) and Zn(ii) complexes. Four bidentate Schiff base ligands (SL1–SL4) with quinoline hydrazine scaffold and a series of mononuclear Cu(ii) and Zn(ii) complexes were successfully prepared and characterized. The in vitro antibacterial and antifungal potential experimentation revealed that the ligands exhibited moderate antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive bacterial types and were inactive against the Gram-negative bacteria and the fungus strains. The metal complexes showed some enhancement in the activity against the Gram-positive bacterial strains and were inactive against the Gram-negative bacteria and the fungus strains similar to the parent ligands. The complex [Cu(SL1)2] was the most toxic compound against both Gram-positive S. aureus and E. faecalis bacteria. The in silico physicochemical investigation revealed that the ligand SL4 showed highest in silico absorption (82.61%) and the two complexes [Cu(SL4)2] and [Zn(SL4)2] showed highest in silico absorption with 56.23% for both compounds. The in silico pharmacokinetics predictions showed that the ligands have high gastrointestinal (GI) absorption and the complexes showed low GI absorption. The ligands showed a good bioavailability score of 0.55 where the complexes showed moderate to poor bioavailability.

Published: June 2020

AbstractP92 steel is used as a piping material in ultra super critical power plants that can be operated at steam temperatures up to 650°C. The changes in the martensitic microstructure of P92 steel must be evaluated thoroughly before it is put into actual service. In this study, indigenously developed P92 steel was used. The steel was subjected to normalizing and tempering heat treatments in the range of 1,040–1,060°C and 740–780°C. The changes in the microstructure were evaluated and creep-rupture properties were studied at test temperatures of 600 and 650°C. Although normalizing temperatures influenced the microstructure and creep strength marginally, the change in tempering temperatures led to significant changes. The creep rupture strength at 600°C was influenced largely by the changes in the dislocation substructure, while the precipitation of Laves phases was a significant observation made for 650°C test temperature. Proposed mechanisms for the microstructural evolution and its consequences on the rupture life are discussed in this study.
Effect of temperature on matrix multicracking evolution of C/SiC fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites
Authors: Li Longbiao 
Published: June 2020

AbstractIn this paper, the temperature-dependent matrix multicracking evolution of carbon-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide ceramic-matrix composites (C/SiC CMCs) is investigated. The temperature-dependent composite microstress field is obtained by combining the shear-lag model and temperature-dependent material properties and damage models. The critical matrix strain energy criterion assumes that the strain energy in the matrix has a critical value. With increasing applied stress, when the matrix strain energy is higher than the critical value, more matrix cracks and interface debonding occur to dissipate the additional energy. Based on the composite damage state, the temperature-dependent matrix strain energy and its critical value are obtained. The relationships among applied stress, matrix cracking state, interface damage state, and environmental temperature are established. The effects of interfacial properties, material properties, and environmental temperature on temperature-dependent matrix multiple fracture evolution of C/SiC composites are analyzed. The experimental evolution of matrix multiple fracture and fraction of the interface debonding of C/SiC composites at elevated temperatures are predicted. When the interface shear stress increases, the debonding resistance at the interface increases, leading to the decrease of the debonding fraction at the interface, and the stress transfer capacity between the fiber and the matrix increases, leading to the higher first matrix cracking stress, saturation matrix cracking stress, and saturation matrix cracking density.
Religionsgemeinschaftliches Wirtschaften mennonitischer Unternehmer im 20. Jahrhundert
Authors: Lutz Martin 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The article analyses the interrelation of religious ethics and entrepreneurship by looking at the case of North American Mennonites in the twentieth century. It focuses on the interpretation of meaning and the discursive negotiation of entrepreneurial legitimacy during a time of rapid socio-economic transformation. The article interprets Mennonite entrepreneurship as a form of embedded economic action within the religious community. It argues that this embeddedness shaped discourses, institutions and practices of entrepreneurship. Mennonite entrepreneurs engaged in debates with church representatives and academics, and they frequently participated in church committees. While the article refers to the reception of Max Weber in economic history, the focus on entrepreneurship in the religious community offers a new perspective that relates to the concept of ethnic entrepreneurship.
„Wer befehlen soll, muß im Befehlen Seligkeit empfinden.“
Authors: Plumpe Werner 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
On the whole, the question as to the historical possibility of entrepreneurship has not been posed. Entrepreneurship has since Schumpeter simply been assumed; translated into a kind of mechanics of leadership in modern management literature in which individual characteristics rescind behind the role expectations for managers. This is logical insofar as a theory of the entrepreneur can at best only exist in a trivial form, such as in the sense of a theory of right or wrong decisions, while the entrepreneur as an individual eludes a theoretical approach in categorical terms. So while these theoretical restrictions make a theory of the entrepreneur unattainable, typological statements can still be made about the historical phenomenon of “entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial behaviour”. This is the starting point of the following article. Characteristics, behavioural patterns and lifestyle details are extracted from entrepreneurial careers of undisputed relevance in German economic and business history between roughly 1850 and 1930: these are then brought together and generalised into an “ideal type” entrepreneur. It will become apparent that entrepreneurship is ultimately based on circumstances, preconditions and attributes which economic or decision theories can only insufficiently grasp: in fact, specific aspects of each individual personality – some of which only fully develop in the course of entrepreneurial practice – determine behaviour and these are themselves again very individual. In a certain sense, entrepreneurship represents a kind of “doer type”, a quality which calls for a whole breadth of influences which in turn cannot be deduced in economic terms.
Polanyi und North
Authors: Priddat Birger P. 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Douglass C. North developed his institutional economics in critical contrast to Polanyi’s reciprocity/exchange scheme. More precise analysis, however, allows North’s institutions to decode reciprocity, so that North’s theory appears not as a counterpoint to Polanyi, but as a further development – albeit with partially opposite consequences. This contrast is illustrated through the reconstruction of the ancient economy.
New Techniques for SIDH-based NIKE
Authors: Urbanik David , Jao David 
Published: June 2020

AbstractWe consider the problem of producing an efficient, practical, quantum-resistant non-interactive key exchange (NIKE) protocol based on Supersingular Isogeny Diffie-Hellman (SIDH). An attack of Galbraith, Petit, Shani and Ti rules out the use of naïve forms of the SIDH construction for this application, as they showed that an adversary can recover private key information when supplying an honest party with malformed public keys. Subsequently, Azarderakhsh, Jao and Leonardi presented a method for overcoming this attack using multiple instances of the SIDH protocol, but which increases the costs associated with performing a key exchange by factors of up to several thousand at typical security levels. In this paper, we present two new techniques to reduce the cost of SIDH-based NIKE, with various possible tradeoffs between key size and computational cost.

Fishing as an important source of food in the Arctic and subarctic zones of Yakutia
Authors: Popova Nadezhda V. , Abramov Alexey F. , Markova Ludmila N. 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The peculiarity of natural conditions of Yakutia plays an important role in the formation of economic activities of its population. A significant number of rivers and lakes are a favorable condition for the development and preservation of traditional fishing. Currently, more than 89% of the commercial fish catch is produced in the lower reaches of the large northern rivers and lakes in the Arctic and subarctic zones of Yakutia. The main part of this catch is whitefish species, which are valued for their fat content, protein content, culinary, and taste qualities. Fish is a valuable food product for the population of Yakutia. This article presents the results of the study on the nutritional value and the content of heavy metals in the Arctic cisco meat. The high content of fat and protein in the studied samples shows that the Arctic cisco meat belongs to high-protein and high-calorie products and has a high biological value. It was found that on average, the level of toxic metals in the Arctic cisco meat does not exceed the norms accepted in Russia for fish products. The data obtained suggest that the content of heavy metals in fish is due to the peculiarities of living conditions and environmental pollution. Over the past decades, the volume of fish production in Yakutia has been declining due to the socioeconomic and climatic factors. Due to the anthropogenic pollution of water in rivers and lakes by oil products and effluents and waste from various sectors of the economy, especially the mining industry, there is a reduction in the fish resources and there is a need to monitor the environmental condition of the fishing reservoirs and the fish food quality.
Terms of address and fictive kinship politeness in Lori
Authors: Mousavi S. Hamzeh 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThis paper attempts to show different terms of address in Lori and how the non-existence of deferential ʃomɑ (V) compared to Persian leads to some misunderstandings. Deferential V substitutes with other terms of address such as fictive kinship terms, formal titles, religious terms, address inversion and indirect address. For this purpose, the data were collected via two methods: (i) interviews (18 informants); (ii) direct observations (27 different contexts). The results obtained from direct observations were collected to check the reliability of interviews. The results demonstrate that politeness is not always a matter of ‘non-solidarity’ and ‘power’, but sometimes solidarity plays an essential role in making terms of address politer. Furthermore, social factors such as gender, age and social roles are crucial in determining appropriate terms of address. Lastly, men and women used fictive kinship terms differently. While women addressed their older cousins and affinal relatives by means of fictive kinship terms, men used them for addressing total strangers. This behaviour means that women tend to make a distance from the addressee whereas men try to create solidarity.
“They just buy a karak and leave” – Overtourism in Souq Muttrah, the Sultanate of Oman
Authors: Gutberlet Manuela 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The research analyses overtourism in a fast-changing destination on the Arabian Peninsula with its social ‘ordering’, conceptualized in local community perceptions, local memories and representations. The souq, located opposite the cruise terminal in Muscat, is the oldest marketplace in Oman and one of the top tourist destinations. The construction of a new USD 2 billion Waterfront Development facing the souq will start by the end of 2019. How does the local, multi-ethnic community consisting of sellers, business owners, tour guides, residents and government officials experience the spatial and social changes? How authentic is the souq for them? Cultural brokers like shop vendors, business-owners and tour guides are seen as local agents. Their perspectives are analyzed within a capitalist, neoliberal development, reinforced since the arrival of mega-cruise tourism in the Sultanate of Oman in 2004. The research is part of a long-term, qualitative, ethnographic research project conducted between 2012 and 2014 and 2017 and 2019 on cruise tourism development transforming Souq Muttrah into a ‘hybrid space’. Results indicate that mega-cruise tourism has created signs of overtourism, operationalized in overcrowding along the main streets, a monoculture of shops, unethical guiding and selling practices transforming the souq into a hybrid space and a staged culture. Interviewees felt being part of a dynamic, cultural and historical process or legacy in Souq Muttrah. To maximize benefits and to increase their quality of life, it is recommended to introduce regulatory, economic and physical measures while including all stakeholders of the local community in cruise tourism planning.
Regional Hypertrophy, the Inhomogeneous Muscle Growth: A Systematic Review
Authors: Zabaleta-Korta Aitor , Fernández-Peña Eneko , Santos-Concejero Jordan 
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT
A literature search was performed in 2 databases (PubMed and Scopus) on May 22, 2019. From the 14 studies included in the review, 13 found that the anatomical cross-sectional area of some regions of a muscle increased to a greater degree than others. Some studies found increases in the distal region, others reported increases in the middle region, and some found differences between regions but did not report which increased the most. Hypertrophy between and within muscle heads is not homogeneous, confirming that regional hypertrophy actually happens in the quadriceps femoris, triceps brachii, and biceps brachii muscles.
Homeostatic Recovery of Embryonic Spinal Activity Initiated by Compensatory Changes in Resting Membrane Potential
Authors: Gonzalez-Islas Carlos , Garcia-Bereguiain Miguel Angel , Wenner Peter 
Published: June 2020

AbstractWhen baseline activity in a neuronal network is modified by external challenges, a set of mechanisms is prompted to homeostatically restore activity levels. These homeostatic mechanisms are thought to be profoundly important in the maturation of the network. It has been shown that blockade of either excitatory GABAergic or glutamatergic transmission in the living chick embryo transiently blocks the movements generated by spontaneous network activity (SNA) in the spinal cord. However, the embryonic movements then begin to recover by 2 h and are completely restored by 12 h of persistent receptor blockade. It remains unclear what mechanisms mediate this early recovery (first hours) after neurotransmitter blockade, or even if the same mechanisms are triggered following GABAergic and glutamatergic antagonists. Here we find two distinct mechanisms that could underlie this homeostatic recovery. First, we see a highly robust compensatory mechanism observed shortly after neurotransmitter receptor blockade. In the first 2 h of GABAergic or glutamatergic blockadein vitro, there was a clear depolarization of resting membrane potential (RMP) in both motoneurons and interneurons. These changes reduced threshold current and were observed in the continued presence of the antagonist. Therefore, it appears that fast changes in RMP represent a key fast homeostatic mechanism for the maintenance of network activity. Second, we see a less consistent compensatory change in the absolute threshold voltage in the first several hours ofin vitroandin vivoneurotransmitter blockade. These mechanisms likely contribute to the homeostatic recovery of embryonic movements following neurotransmitter blockade.
