Published: November 2020

Abstract
Risks of a false decision on conformity of the chemical composition of a multicomponent material or object due to measurement uncertainty are defined using the Bayesian approach. Even if the conformity assessment for each particular component of a material is successful, the total probability of a false decision (total consumer’s risk or producer’s risk) concerning the material as a whole might still be significant. This is related to the specific batch, lot, sample, environmental compartment, or other item of material or object (specific consumer’s and producer’s risks), or to a population of these items (global consumer’s and producer’s risks). A model of the total probability of such false decisions for cases of independent actual (‘true’) concentrations or contents of the components and the corresponding measurement results is formulated based on the law of total probability. It is shown that the total risk can be evaluated as a combination of the particular risks in the conformity assessment of components of the item. For a more complicated task, i.e. for a larger number of components under control, the total risk is greater. When the actual values of the components’ concentrations or contents, as well as the measurement results, are correlated, they are modelled by multivariate distributions. Then, a total global risk of a false decision on the material conformity is evaluated by the calculation of integrals of corresponding joint probability density function. A total specific risk can be evaluated as the joint posterior cumulative function of actual property values of a specific item lying outside the multivariate specification (tolerance) domain when the vector of measured values obtained for the item is inside this domain. The effect of correlation on the risk is not easily predictable. Examples of the evaluation of risks are provided for conformity assessment of denatured alcohols, total suspended particulate matter in ambient air, a cold/flu medication, and a PtRh alloy.

Authors: Lecointe Jean-Philippe , Duchesne Stéphane , Cozonac Dorin , Vélu Gabriel , Komeza Krzysztof 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThis paper aims to present and analyze the materials adapted to design a machine that can work with a high current density without any specific cooling system. In other words, the machine is equipped with material that supports high internal temperature, about 500°C. Candidate materials are selected and the authors indicate that inorganic insulation should be preferred for conductors and slot insulations. Tests are carried out on material selection through measurement of the turn-to-turn voltage, insulation resistances, and the parallel capacitances.
Review of research of nanocomposites based on graphene quantum dots
Authors: Kuznetsov Aleksey E. 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) belong to the vast and versatile family of carbon nanomaterials. Their unique position amongst versatile carbon nanoparticles (NPs) originates from the properties of quantum confinement and edge effects. GQDs are similar to conventional semiconductor QDs due to their tunable band gaps and high photoluminescence activity. However, GQDs have superior characteristics due to their excellent biocompatibility, low toxicity, good water dispersibility, large optical absorptivity, high fluorescence activity and photostability. These properties have generated significant interest in GQDs applications in various fields: nanosensor fabrication, drug delivery, photocatalysis, photovoltaics, and photodynamic therapy. Numerous GQD-based nanocomposites/nanohybrides have been synthesized and/or studied computationally. This review focuses on recent computational studies of various GQD-based nanocomposites/nanohybrides and systems which can be related to them.
Verschuldung und Investitionsschwäche der Kommunen
Authors: Beznoska Martin , Kauder Björn 
Published: November 2020

ZusammenfassungHohe Schuldenstände und im langfristigen Vergleich niedrige Investitionen sind symptomatisch für die Schieflage der Kommunalfinanzen in vielen Regionen Deutschlands. Die Autoren untersuchen die Ursachen der langfristigen Fehlentwicklungen in den kommunalen Budgets. Eine ökonometrische Analyse der nordrhein-westfälischen Kommunen, die exemplarisch für die kommunalen Finanzprobleme stehen, zeigt Determinanten von Investitionsausgaben und Verschuldung. Investitionen werden demnach von hohen Steuereinnahmen begünstigt und durch hohe Sozial- und Personalausgaben beeinträchtigt. Eine zentrale Stellschraube zur Entspannung kommunaler Haushalte sind die Sozialausgaben, über deren (Neu-) Aufteilung zwischen den föderalen Ebenen auch die regionalen Disparitäten abgebaut werden könnten. Um die Kommunen zukunftsfest zu machen, könnte man einen kommunalen Investitionsfonds auflegen, dessen Mittel ähnlich verteilt werden wie beim Zukunftsinvestitionsgesetz im Rahmen des Konjunkturpakets II nach der Finanzkrise 2008/2009.
Schulische Bildung zu Zeiten der Corona-Krise
Authors: Anger Christina , Plünnecke Axel 
Published: November 2020

Zusammenfassung
Zur Eindämmung der Corona-Pandemie wurden die Schulen in Deutschland und in vielen anderen Ländern im März geschlossen. Homeschooling sollte verhindern, dass die Leistungen der Schülerinnen und Schüler abnehmen und die Ungleichheit der Bildungsleistungen steigt. Fehlende Konzepte und Erfahrungen der Lehrkräfte mit digitalem Fernunterricht sowie Ausstattungsmängel ließen jedoch vermuten, dass größere Lerndefizite entstanden sein dürften. Eine erste Studie aus Belgien bestätigt diese Befürchtungen. Die Ergebnisse dürften sich auf Deutschland übertragen lassen, denn auch hier bestehen erhebliche Defizite an digitalgestützten Lehrkonzepten. Um Vorsorge für den Fall neuerlicher Schulschließungen zu treffen und die Lücken zumindest in Teilen wieder zu verringern, sollte man die Chancen der Digitalisierung zur Verbesserung des Unterrichts nutzen. Erste Impulse hat es bereits gegeben: Die Ausstattung mit digitalen Endgeräten bessert sich, Lehrplattformen stehen zur Verfügung, digitale Bildungsinhalte werden entwickelt. Auch der WLAN-Zugang an den Schulen soll in den kommenden Jahren im Zuge der praktischen Umsetzung des Digitalpakts verbessert werden. Als nächste Schritte gilt es die Lehrkräfte weiterzubilden, Feedback-Mechanismen zum Unterricht zu schaffen, die Lehrkräfte durch IT-Support zu unterstützen und Lerninhalte auf den Plattformen motivierend und effektiv darzureichen, begleitet durch wissenschaftliche Evaluation.
The basal ganglia corticostriatal loops and conditional learning
Authors: Yahya Keyvan 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Brief maneuvering of the literature as to the various roles attributed to the basal ganglia corticostriatal circuits in a variety of cognitive processes such as working memory, selective attention, and category learning has inspired us to investigate the interplay of the two major basal ganglia open-recurrent loops, namely, visual and executive loops specifically the possible involvement of their overlap in conditional learning. We propose that the interaction of the visual and executive loops reflected through their cortical overlap in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DL-PFC), lateral orbitofrontal cortex (LO-PFC), and presupplementary motor area (SMA) plays an instrumental role preliminary first in forming associations between a series of correct responses following similar stimuli and then in shifting, abstracting, and generalizing conditioned responses. The premotor and supplementary motor areas have been shown essential to producing a sequence of movements while the SMA is engaged in monitoring complex movements. In light of the recent studies, we will suggest that the interaction of visual and executive loops could strengthen or weaken learned associations following different reward values. Furthermore, we speculate that the overlap of the visual and executive loops can account for the switching between the associative vs. rule-based category learning systems.

Published: November 2020

AbstractThe paper discusses a stabilization of a finite element method for the equations of fluid motion in a time-dependent domain. After experimental convergence analysis, the method is applied to simulate a blood flow in the right ventricle of a post-surgery patient with the transposition of the great arteries disorder. The flow domain is reconstructed from a sequence of 4D CT images. The corresponding segmentation and triangulation algorithms are also addressed in brief.
Embodied ekphrasis of experience: Bodily rhetoric in mediating affect in interaction
Authors: Rautajoki Hanna , Toikkanen Jarkko , Raudaskoski Pirkko 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The article investigates the rhetorical means of mediating affective experience in occasioned storytelling.
The completion of this article has been supported by The Emil Aaltonen Foundation and The Academy of Finland project (285144) The Literary in Life and The Academy of Finland project (326645) European Solidarities in Turmoil.
We are interested in the forms and aspects of bodily action in signifying and communicating a “para-factual experience” that was triggered by a real-life incident, but in fact only took place in a person’s imagination. We explore the case of a TV interview in which an American living in Finland narrates a personal, disturbing experience related to the news about 9/11. The story presents a visual scenario of the teller’s affective reaction towards two Muslim women in a grocery store. What is interesting in the story are its involuntary dimensions: the scenario portrays a picture of the teller that he finds unrecognizable and detached from his sense of self as a person. Even if the act was never actually realized, to the teller it felt real and compelling, as is manifest in the way he translates the scenario into a bodily performance. The teller not only uses his body to tell the story but momentarily turns the surrounding setting into a scene in the storyworld in which he plays the unidentified me. We call this physical performance of the imagined scene the embodied ekphrasis of experience.
In Semiotica, the rhetorical device of ekphrasis has appeared before (see Frosh 2003; Hopkins 2015; Nesselroth 2016; Sarapik 2009) from such literary and linguistic perspectives, as well as through the lens of media research and cultural studies, to which our application will add from the viewpoint of ethnomethodology and the social sciences.
Deploying research on multimodal interaction and intermediality, our empirical analysis explicates how the teller’s body, and not just words, build action, convey affective meaning, and resemiotize and mobilize a physical enactment of the past hypothetical scene.
Imago Dei: Metaphorical conceptualization of pictorial artworks within a participant-based framework
Authors: Poppi Fabio I. M. , Bolognesi Marianna , Ojha Amitash 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThis article presents an exploratory analysis of the metaphoric structure of five artistic paintings within “Think aloud” protocols, in which a group of 14 English speakers with a low self-rated level of expertise in art and history of art expertise were asked to verbalize all their thoughts, ideas and impressions of the artworks. The main findings of this study can be summarized as follows: (1) multiple interpretations for the same artwork are possible, (2) the interpretations of the metaphorical structures described by the participants often diverge from those advanced by the researchers. These findings challenge the methods by which metaphor identification and analysis in pictorials is currently approached. As a matter of fact, most of the research in pictorial metaphors tends to reduce stimuli such as artistic paintings to unique metaphoric interpretations generally produced by a single researcher by means of introspection. By addressing this methodological problem in metaphor research, this article contributes to the development of a theoretical and operational participant-based framework that takes into account the role of metaphoric conceptualization within the domain of art and art cognition.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Among the categories of the telecom and internet frauds, the online romance scam is of particular concern for its sharp rise of victim numbers and the huge amount of cost. A social semiotic approach could be used to investigate the victim identity of the online romance scam from the aspects of the (re)construction and interpretation of discursive practices. The range of papers in this section shows that the study of text, context and the way that people use semiotic resources to produce communication, to create and manage events and to interpret them.

Abstract
The present study attempts to investigate and analyze the relationship between the language used by the Hui nationality, its social situation, and identity construction from a sociosemiotic perspective, and makes a further discussion on the process of identity construction via language convergence, divergence, and maintenance. It goes further to put forward the distinction between social identity/ethnic identity and group identity/personal identity as well as the roles that language convergence and divergence have played within these identity constructions, proposes that language convergence and divergence are the two crucial language strategies utilized by people in code switching, therefrom constructing a dynamic balanced identity system recursively.
Utilisation of pain counselling in osteopathic practice: secondary analysis of a nationally representative sample of Australian osteopaths
Authors: Fitzgerald Kylie , Vaughan Brett , Fleischmann Michael , Pritchard Shane , Mulcahy Jane , Austin Phil 
Published: November 2020

Abstract

Objectives
Advice, reassurance and education are recommended as first line treatments for musculoskeletal pain conditions such as low back pain. Osteopaths are registered primary contact allied health professionals in the Australian healthcare system who primarily manage acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions. This study aimed to investigate the proportion of Australian osteopaths who do and do not utilise advice, reassurance and education (pain counselling) in their clinical practice, and determine the characteristics associated with the frequency of using pain counselling in clinical practice.

Methods
A secondary analysis of practice characteristics from a nationally representative sample of Australian osteopaths was undertaken. Participants completed a 27-item practice characteristics questionnaire between July-December 2016. Bivariate analyses were used to identify significant variables for inclusion in a backward multiple logistic regression model. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) were calculated for significant variables.

Results
Responses were received from 991 Australian osteopaths, representing 49% of the profession. Of these 264 (26.64%) indicated often utilising pain counselling, and 727 (73.36%) reported not often utilising pain counselling. Those who utilised pain counselling were more than twice as likely to report research evidence had a high impact on their clinical practice (OR 2.11), and nearly twice as likely to discuss physical activity with their patients (OR 1.84).

Conclusions
Pain counselling is under-utilised by nearly three quarters of the Australian osteopathic profession as a management strategy. Future studies are required to explore the reasons why most in the profession comprised in this sample are infrequently utilising this guideline recommendation. Given the frequency of chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions presenting to Australian osteopaths, strategies appear to be needed to advance the profession via professional development in accessing and using evidence-based care for pain conditions.
Postoperative opioids and risk of respiratory depression – A cross-sectional evaluation of routines for administration and monitoring in a tertiary hospital
Authors: Andersen Karoline Kolås , Kvarstein Gunnvald 
Published: November 2020

Abstract

Objectives
Opioids are the most potent analgesics in the treatment of postoperative pain. Respiratory depression is, however, a serious side effect. The aims of this study were to evaluate current practice and routines for post-operative administration of opioids in a Norwegian university hospital and to evaluate whether the clinical safeguards adequately protected patients’ safety regarding risk of respiratory depression.

Methods
The study had a retrospective cross-sectional design and included 200 patients, treated with opioids postoperatively. The patients were treated in a post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) before transferal to a surgical ward. Relevant data such as opioid dosages, routes of administration, sedation and respiratory function, routines for patient monitoring, and numbers of patients with opioid induced respiratory depression was collected.

Results
Two patients (1%) developed respiratory depression that needed naloxone to reverse the effect, and 32 patients (16%) had a respiratory rate (RR) <10/min, which may have been caused by opioids. In the PACU, the patient’s RR was evaluated on a routine base, but after transferal to a surgical ward RR documented in only 7% of the patients.

Conclusions
The lack of routines for patient monitoring, especially RR, represented a risk of not detecting opioid induced respiratory depression.
Umstrittene Säkularität
Authors: Schröder Stefan 
Published: November 2020

ZusammenfassungDer vorliegende Beitrag diskutiert das Konzept eines säkularen Religionsunterrichts als fachdidaktischen Ausgangspunkt einer religionswissenschaftlich ausgerichteten schulischen Religionskunde. „Säkularität“ erweist sich in diesem Zusammenhang alscontested concept: Eine religionswissenschaftlich-konzeptionelle Perspektive, die Säkularität als eine weltanschaulich neutrale Metaperspektive interpretiert (Säkularität 1), steht idealtypisch einer individuell-identitätsformativen (Säkularität 2) sowie einer weltanschaulich-normativen (Säkularität 3) Interpretation eines säkularen Religionsunterrichts gegenüber, die in der schulpraktischen Wirklichkeit in Deutschland historisch dominieren. Der Artikel mündet in ein Plädoyer für einen differenzierteren und bewussteren bildungspolitischen Umgang mit einer säkularen Rahmung von Religion/en in religionsbezogenem Unterricht in Deutschland und eine Stärkung des von der Religionswissenschaft präferierten Säkularitätsverständnisses.
Three new cadmium(II) coordination compounds based on 2-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline: syntheses, structures and luminescence

Abstract
Three cadmium(II) coordination compounds, [Cd(pyip)2(CH3COO)2] (1), [Cd(pyip)2(cis-OH)2]·H2O (2) and [Cd(pyip)2(trans-OH)2]·3H2O (3), based on 2-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (pyip) have been synthesized by a hydrothermal method and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1, 2 and 3 all appear as monomeric entities, which are further assembled into supramolecular networks by hydrogen bonding interactions. The Cd(II) centers in compounds 2 and 3 lie in distinct octahedral environments with the hydroxyl groups in cis- and trans-positions, respectively, leading to the generation of different structures . Photoluminescence studies of compounds 1–3 were also carried out.
Three of a kind? The non-isotypic triple CsCe[P2Se6], CsSm[P2Se6] and CsEr[P2Se6]
Authors: Schulz Beate M. , Lange Pia L. , Schleid Thomas 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Three new compounds of the CsLn[P2Se6] family with Ln = Ce, Sm and Er have been prepared and structurally characterized. Plate-shaped, amber-colored single crystals of these cesium lanthanoid(III) hexaselenodiphosphates(IV) were obtained by heating stoichiometric amounts of Ln, P and Se with CsCl as a reactive flux in fused silica ampoules at 800 °C for four days. CsCe[P2Se6] crystallizes monoclinically in space group P21/c with a = 1297.86(9), b = 776.24(5), c = 1198.43(8) pm, β = 106.589(3)° and Z = 4. The structure is isotypic with that of KLa[P2Se6], the Cs+ cations being ten-fold coordinated by selenium atoms to form double layers of condensed [CsSe10]19− polyhedra. Ce3+ resides in a nine-fold coordination and the [CeSe9]15− polyhedra also form double layers parallel to (100). CsSm[P2Se6] crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with a = 688.67(5), b = 754.48(5), c = 2215.21(15) pm and Z = 4. Its structure is isotypic with that of KY[P2Se6] and the Cs+ cations reside in an eleven-fold coordination of selenium atoms constituting monolayers of condensed [CsSe11]21− polyhedra within the (001) plane. Sm3+ exhibits an eight-fold coordination sphere of selenium atoms and the [SmSe8]13− polyhedra are also linked to build up parallel monolayers. CsEr[P2Se6] crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c again, but forms its own structure type with the lattice parameters a = 753.81(5), b = 1281.92(9), c = 1276.47(9) pm and β = 106.898(3)° and Z = 4. The Cs+ cations are twelve-fold coordinated by selenium atoms and erects a three-dimensional framework of condensed [CsSe12]23− polyhedra. The Er3+ cations show seven selenium atoms as neighbors and the [ErSe7]11− polyhedra are edge-connected to form discrete dimers [Er2Se12]18−. All three structures have similar ethane-like [P2Se6]4– anions in staggered conformation with bond lengths of 219–226 pm for d(P1–P2) and 213–222 pm for d(P–Se), which connect the Cs+ and Ln

coordination polyhedra into three-dimensional crystal structures.
