Status of wind in Pennsylvania: Social and environmental impacts of wind
Authors: Barton Michael , Levri Edward 
Published: February 2020

abstract
With the push for renewable energy at the turn of the century, windmills have become a commonplace part of the landscape in Pennsylvania. Due to their size and footprint, the turbines have both social and environmental costs. To reduce or negate many of the potentially adverse impacts of wind farm development and operation, a number of significant studies are conducted in both the pre- and postconstruction phases of the development process. These studies will be discussed and reviewed. Many of the preconstruction studies are requirements for wind farm development to be permitted. Impacts on both wildlife and the landscape can be significantly reduced or eliminated with careful project design, from proper wind farm siting and habitat avoidance measures, and through proper erosion control design. With proper development techniques and implementation practices, this &#x93;impact reduction&#x94; extends through the conclusion of the projects&#x92; construction phase and into the generation phase. Proper implementation of curtailment procedures on a wind-farm-by-wind-farm or site-by-site basis significantly reduces bird and bat impacts through the projects&#x92; active generation phase.
A burping bowl in every cupboard: Tupperware and the lessons of American energy decadence
Authors: Black Brian 
Published: February 2020

abstractEnergy exchanges have helped to define each phase of human life. Some are overt and noticeable; however, modern life is also layered with concealed exchanges that allow us to overlook our reliance on fossil fuels. In both their origin and consumption, objects such as Tupperware represent the ethic that define the era known as the Anthropocene. Environmental historians must play a vital role in recording this era by deconstructing items such as plastics to reveal the culture that has created, required, and consumed them. Properly telling the story of this human era can begin with a mundane object such as the Tupperware burping bowl.
Thinking Through Sound: Martin Heidegger and Wallace Stevens
Authors: Kerr Joshua 
Published: February 2020

ABSTRACTHow is it that things come to sound in language? What demands does the sound of language make on the disposition of thinking? This article motivates and addresses these questions by turning to two thinkers who insist upon the sonorous character of language: a philosopher, Martin Heidegger, and a poet, Wallace Stevens. Rather than subordinate poet to philosopher or philosopher to poet, I attempt to read the two together in tension. Heidegger's resistance to anthropocentric conceptions of language reveal in Stevens the otherwise understated importance of attunement and disposition. Similarly, Stevens's insistence upon the sound of words reveals a significant and neglected aspect of Heidegger's famous etymological analyses. Together, these two authors draw poetry and philosophy closer together by revealing that thought, as language, always involves a poetic, sonorous element and that the poetic sound of language is already an incipient thinking. On the basis of a careful reading of Heidegger's “Language” lecture and Stevens's poem, “Of Mere Being,” I argue that words can be fruitfully understood as the “acoustic gestures” of things and that philosophy, at its best, is able to cultivate a disposition attentive to these gestures.
The Triple Transformation: The Emergence of Philosophy in Deleuze and Guattari
Authors: Schönher Mathias 
Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT
In this article, I introduce the concept of the triple transformation, which ensues from my examination of What is Philosophy? by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The concept applies to the philosopher's intuitive method, it defines more precisely his or her activity that consists of creating concepts in order to bring forth new events. This activity cannot be carried out by merely turning the thought of opinion, which shapes our ordinary lived experience, to philosophical concepts. The exercise and experience of the creative thinking of philosophy implies a liberation from the constraints of opinion, by way of a triple transformation. I address the triple transformation from two different perspectives: first, in connection with the emergence of philosophy in ancient Greece with regard to Plato as a member of the democratic city-state of Athens; second, with regard to an individual subject in its own right, to its brain or mind.
Aristotle's Mathematicals in Metaphysics M.3 and N.6
Authors: Younan Andrew 
Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT
Aristotle ends Metaphysics books M–N with an account of how one can get the impression that Platonic Form-numbers can be causes. Though these passages are all admittedly polemic against the Platonic understanding, there is an undercurrent wherein Aristotle seems to want to explain in his own terms the evidence the Platonist might perceive as supporting his view, and give any possible credit where credit is due. Indeed, underlying this explanation of how the Platonist may have formed his impression, we discover Aristotle's own understanding of what we today might call the mathematical structure of nature. Mathematicals are, to Aristotle, abstractions of order, symmetry, and definiteness, which are in turn aspects of the formal cause of goodness and beauty. This is a lens through which an Aristotelian could view modern mathematical physics as an important aspect of natural philosophy, and which is foundational for an Aristotelian philosophy of mathematics.
Disobedient: Activist Choirs, Radical Amateurism, and the Politics of the Past after Yugoslavia
Authors: Hofman Ana 
Published: February 2020

AbstractFrom 2000 on, the emergence of activist choirs has greatly influenced practices of political activism in the territory of the former Yugoslavia. In this article, I analyze how activists, singers, and listeners repurpose antifascist music legacy in order to experiment with new forms of political engagement. I propose the concept of radical amateurism, a political community that fuels the politicization of a field of leisure, which enables people to form new audiosocial alliances at local, regional, and global scales. Locating my theoretical framework within the field of affective politics of sound, I show that political potentiality, when related to music and sound, is inscribed in the complex relationship between imagined and real, exception and everydayness, emerging and routinized, and impossible and possible. In conclusion, I scrutinize contingencies of affective politics and discuss the ways affective encounters enable a new framework for practicing political engagement in a moment of apathy and neoliberal exhaustion.
Traslados: del estudio al aula, de Barcelona a Venecia
Authors: Prats Güerre Eva 
Published: February 2020

En el aula, como sucede en nuestro estudio, cada proyecto hace aparecer y desarrollar unos intereses que los ayudan a avanzar y que van más allá que la solución específica, más allá de las circunstancias concretas, de la urgencia del encargo. Esto permite desarrollar unos temas a larga distancia, donde cada proyecto fija una reflexión que tendrá un eco en el próximo. En el aula hemos querido trasladar esas reflexiones, aproximarlas a los estudiantes con un ejercicio donde poder compartir y contrastar otras maneras posibles de interpretarlas y actuar.
In the classroom, as in our study, each project makes appear and develop interests that help it move forward and go beyond the specific solution, beyond the specific circumstances, of the urgency of the assignment. This allows developing long-distance topics, where each project sets a reflection that will have an echo in the next. In the classroom we wanted to transfer these reflections and bring them closer to the students with an exercise where they can share and contrast other possible ways of interpreting and acting.The re-use of buildings, their adaptation to host new programs is one of the issues that concern and fascinate us at the same time, and we have brought it to the ETSAB classrooms and other schools where we have been teaching during these last years. We thought it was a good time to show it in this gigantic showcase that is the Venice Architecture Biennale, where each participant, in addition to responding to the Biennale commissioners manifesto, has their own reflection topics to share in an international debate field.
Construcción de una narración en el espacio
Authors: Vidal Jorge 
Published: February 2020

Aprovecho este espacio de la revista Palimpsesto para celebrar y agradecer los años como profesor al lado de Carlos Ferrater y Alberto Peñin. Estuvimos juntos en los cursos de proyectos III-IV de la Escuela Superior de Arquitectura de Barcelona desde el año 2008 hasta el 2018. También fui profesor del Master de proyectos XXI que ellos dirigían entre los años 2008 y 2010. En total fueron 10 años juntos impartiendo docencia que marcaron mi trayectoria.
During these years I have focused my work on the construction of narratives in space. A search based on the understanding of what is around us. What shapes us both as people and in relation to a certain place. They are trips that go from the softest part of architecture, dreams or intuitions, to the toughest and most real, the built. A journey from the abstract to the concrete that during its process undergoes the necessary transformations to create its body, its essence, what things are. There are people who talk about the soul of things, about their will to be, maybe they are right. I try to find it at the end of the process. All this is about stories that end up talking about sites, cultures and techniques.
The Silicon Dawn y la resignificación de la artesanía hoy
Authors: Rahola Matutes Estela 
Published: February 2020

Las artesanías no solo brindan atención a la preservación de la cultura heredada e histórica, sino que también atienden hacia una relación responsable y más sostenible con nuestra cultura material, algo que también está directamente relacionado con nuestra cultura ontológica natural. Situar el foco en este aspecto nos puede hacer sujetos éticos.
Faced with a material culture that promotes consumerism as a way of obtaining satisfaction, I wonder if craftwork can also be applied to modern forms of work and, in general, to the ways of ‘doing’ things in our commitment to material culture. From my point of view, if we get involved with our work in a deeper sense, we could also have a greater empathy with the way others work, perhaps moving from a society of “consumers” to a society of “producers”, as interested and concerned about the skills and working conditions of those who produce things for us, as we expect them to be with ours. This argument focuses on a sustainable material culture and an economic system characterized by a less passive consumerism and a more active production, making, adapting, repairing, sharing where there is much more potential for novelty and pleasure.

"Whatever space and time mean, place and occasion mean more". Aldo Van Eyck
Life and architecture share that condition intrinsically linked to the occasions presented to them, which are nothing other than “opportunities to understand and establish active relationships with the world”. My father always says that he found a lot of queue at the Faculty of Medicine, where he planned to enroll, and decided to go to Architecture. The essentially random condition of that first great occasion seems promising and, at the same time, it transmits a certain lightness to me, so necessary for the lucky ones whose opportunities have allowed us to exercise architecture, in any of the many ways in which it can occur.
REGULATION OF ASSESSMENT OF THE RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BY EXTERNAL AUDIT IN THE CONTEXT OF FOSTERING MORE EFFICIENT RISK MANAGEMENT - A REVIEW OF THE BANKING SECTOR OF BIH
Authors: Vujičić - Stefanović Dragana 
Published: February 2020

In this study, regulatory requirements are elaborated regarding external audit in the assessment of the risk management system and the impact of the regulation of risk management system using independent external audit is investigated in the context of encouraging effective risk management in the banking sector of Bosnia and Hercegovina. The research was conducted through a questionnaire, which included a representative sample consisting of all the banks in BiH, within which employees at control functions are included (risk management, internal audit and internal control), along with members of bank boards (Supervisory board, Audit Committee, Bank Management), and relevant external auditors conducting audits in the banks in BiH, as well as professional academic public. The results of the research show a high degree of correlation of the regulation of risk management system by independent auditors and risk management efficiency, but also identify additional mechanisms which encourage more efficient risk management in banks and, consequently, reveal new research areas.
Prognostic analysis of very early onset pancreatic cancer: a population-based analysis
Authors: Dai Dongjun , Wang Yanmei , Hu Xinyang , Jin Hongchuan , Wang Xian 
Published: February 2020

Background
We aimed to use competing risk model to assess whether very early onset pancreatic cancer (VEOPC ) (<45 years) had a worse prognosis than older pancreatic cancer (PC) patients, and to build a competing risk nomogram for predicting the risk of death of VEOPC.

Methods
We selected pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients as our cohort from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The impact of cancer specific death was estimated by competing risk analysis. Multivariate Fine-Gray regression for proportional hazards modeling of the subdistribution hazard (SH) model based nomogram was constructed, which was internally validated by discrimination and calibration with 1,000 bootstraps.

Results
Our cohort included 1,386 VEOPC patients and 53,940 older patients. We observed that in unresectablePDAC patients, VEOPC had better cancer specific survival (CSS) than each older group (45–59 years, 60–69 years, 70–79 years and >79 years). There was no significant prognostic difference between VEOPC and each older group in resectablePDAC. Our competing nomogram showed well discrimination and calibration by internal validation.

Conclusion
For unresectable PDAC patients, VEOPC had better CSS than older patients. Our competing risk nomogram might be an easy-to-use tool for the specific death prediction of VEOPC patients with PDAC.
Comparison of lipid accumulation product and body mass index as indicators of diabetes diagnosis among 215,651 Chinese adults
Authors: Tian Tian , Pei Hualian , Chen Zhen , Hailili Gulisiya , Wang Shuxia , Sun Yong , Yao Hua , Jianghong Dai 
Published: February 2020

Purpose
We aimed to assess if lipid accumulation product (LAP) could outperform body mass index (BMI) as a marker for diabetes diagnosis.

Methods
We analyzed the results of a national physical examination project in Urumqi, China. This project was conducted in 442 community clinics in Urumqi from October 2016 to February 2017.

Results
LAP was highly correlated with diabetes. The subjects with higher amounts of LAP had a higher risk of diabetes, and the prevalence of diabetes in the fourth quartile of LAP was dramatically higher than in the first quartile (5.72% vs. 21.76%). The adjusted odds ratios (AOR) associated with diabetes in the fourth quartile of LAP was significantly higher than the AOR associated with diabetes in the first quartile, and when BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2 was compared with BMI < 28 kg/m2 (3.24 (3.11, 3.37) vs. 1.65 (1.60, 1.70)). The LAP’s area under the curve (AUC) was significantly higher than the BMI’s AUC when based on diabetes (0.655 vs. 0.604). In the normal BMI group, 34% of participants had a LAP value higher than the cutoff point found during ROC analysis. In this subgroup, we observed a significantly higher prevalence of diabetes that was similar to that of the subgroup with a BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2, and both of their LAP values were higher than the cutoff point.

Conclusion
When use as a tool for diabetes diagnosis, LAP performed better than BMI, implying that LAP could be a preferable anthropometry assessment.
HPV vaccination and sexual behaviour in healthcare seeking young women in Luxembourg
Authors: Soudeyns Camille , Speybroeck Niko , Brisson Marc , Mossong Joël , Latsuzbaia Ardashel 
Published: February 2020

Introduction
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) worldwide. Despite recommendations for HPV vaccination of young women from health authorities, parental concerns were raised whether vaccination could induce unsafe sexual behaviour in young women. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to investigate if HPV vaccination in healthcare seeking adult women in Luxembourg was associated with unsafe sexual behaviour.

Methods
Seven hundred twenty-nine women (mean age = 22.5; range 18–43 years) were recruited either at Luxembourg family planning centres or at private gynaecology practices. All participants completed a questionnaire on vaccination status and sexual behaviour. Poisson and logistic regressions were used to study the association between sexual behaviour and vaccination status (N = 538). Both models were restricted to women younger than 26 years, since the first cohort being vaccinated would be 25 years old at the time of sampling. Assortativity of sexual mixing by age was also assessed for further transmission modelling for women <30 years reporting age of last/current sexual partner (N = 649). Women older than 29 years were excluded from the assortativity analysis due to restricted sample size.

Results
In total, 386/538 (71.8%) of participants reported receiving HPV vaccine. Vaccination uptake significantly varied by nationality and was higher in Portuguese 112/142 (78.9%) and in Luxembourgish 224/313(71.6%) residents, and lower in residents of other nationalities 50/83 (60.2%) (p = 0.011). HPV vaccination was not associated with unsafe sexual behaviour such as shorter relationship duration with current or last sexual partner (odds ratio (OR) = 1.05, 95% CI [0.94–1.16]), younger age of sexual debut (OR = 1.00, 95% CI [0.88–1.14]), increased number of lifetime sexual partners (OR = 0.95, 95% CI [0.87–1.03), higher age difference with sexual partner (OR = 1.01, 95% CI [0.95–1.08]), condom use (OR = 0.97, 95% CI [0.60–1.56]), nor with other factors like smoking (OR = 0.73, 95% CI [0.47–1.15]) and nationality. HPV vaccination was only associated with younger age (OR = 0.84, 95% CI [0.75–0.94]). Relationship duration, age of sexual debut, age difference with sexual partner, smoking, age and non-Portuguese foreign nationality were predictors of number of lifetime sexual partners. Assortativity analysis revealed that young women chose sexual partners who were 2.3 years older on average.

Conclusions
Our study found no association between unsafe sexual behaviour and HPV vaccination.
Rheology and Acceptance of Pap (Zea mays) Enriched with Jatropha carcus Leaves to Improve Iron Status in Children
Authors: I. Asouzu A. , N. Umerah N. 
Published: February 2020

This study was carried out to determine the Rheology and acceptance of Pap (Zea mays) enriched with Jatropha carcus leaves to improve iron status in Children. The blends of pap slurry and Jatropha curcas leaves was made at substitution level of 70:30 respectively. However, the sample formulation was coded as sample A for 100% pap, B for 100% Jatropha curcas leaves and sample C for 70% pap and 30% Jatropha curcas leaves. Sensory evaluation was conducted on the gruel made from the samples to test acceptability. All samples were subjected to laboratory analysis for proximate, mineral, anti-nutrients, viscocity and functional properties using standard method and thereafter, the results obtained were further subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS. The result showed that the proximate composition of the samples ranged from 11.82 to 43.31% for moisture, fibre 2.71 to 10.20%, protein 3.24 to 6.28%, carbohydrate 41.61 to 61.55% and energy 250.10 to 401.50 kcal. The minerals were also ranged from 4.62 to 10.04 mg/100 g for iron, magnesium 62.55 to 112.01 mg/100 g, zinc 0.03 to 0.67 mg/100 g and calcium 44.21 to 110.28 mg/100 g. The anti-nutrients were found to be tannin 0.03 to 2.67 mg/100 g, phytate 0.34 to 1.11 mg/100 g, oxalate 0.91 to 2.64 mg/100 g, and saponin 0.00 to 1.24 mg/100 g. The study however showed that the functional properties of 100% pap and the pap fortified with Jatropha carcus leaves were water absorption capacity 65.78 and 52.68%, oil absorption capacity 140.20 and 120.00%, and foaming capacity 22.45 and 28.01% respectively. The panelist preferred the 100% pap than the pap enriched with Jatropha curcas leaves. This study has revealed an increase in iron, magnesium and zinc which shows that fortification of pap with Jatropha curcas leaves will enhance the iron status of the populace.
Effect of Foliar Fertilization of Boron, Zinc and Iron on Fruit Quality and Leaf Nutrients Content of Peach cv. Shan-e-Punjab
Authors: Muradi Besmellah , Kumar Godara Anil 
Published: February 2020

Aims: To study the effect of different micronutrients and number of foliar spray on fruit quality and leaf nutrient content of peach.
Study Design: The experiment comprised of seven treatments and conducted on seven years old plants in Randomized Block Design with three replications.
Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was conducted at the experimental orchard of Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during the year 2018.
Methodology: The treatments included in the study consisted of three micro-nutrients [T1- ZnSO4 @ 0.2%, T2- ZnSO4 @ 0.3%, T3- FeSO4 @ 0.2%, T4- FeSO4 @ 0.3%, T5- Boric acid @ 0.1%, T6- Boric acid @ 0.2%, T7- Control (water spray)] each applied as foliar spray at different concentration as single and double spray.
Results: The results showed that foliar spray of micronutrients significantly improved quality and leaf nutrient status in peach cv. Shan-e-Punjab. The foliar spray of FeSO4 @ 0.2% (T3) found to be the best treatment with respect to TSS (11.06%), ascorbic acid (8.18 mg/100 g pulp) and leaf iron content (345.51 ppm). The highest TSS: ratio (23.88), leaf zinc content (35.42 ppm) and lowest acidic fruits (0.45%) was observed from the plants sprayed with T1 (ZnSO4 @ 0.2%), whereas, highest leaf boron content (91.02 ppm) was recorded with T6 (Boric acid @ 0.2%). Double foliar spray of micronutrients (Fe, Zn and B) at first week of March + April significantly TSS, TSS: acidity, ascorbic acid, leaf zinc, iron, and boron content and reduced acidity fruits then single foliar spray in first week of March.
Conclusion: The foliar spray of ZnSO4 @ 0.2% (T1) proved to be best treatment in terms of quality. A double spray of micronutrients (Fe, Zn and B) significantly increased total soluble solids, TSS: acidity, ascorbic acid, leaf (zinc, iron, and boron) content and reduced fruit acidity as compared to single spray.
