Die Suche nach Ethnographica und die kunstsinnigen Kannibalen der Südsee. Oder: Was die koloniale Nostalgie im Kaiserreich mit der kolonialen
Aphasie heute zu tun hat
Authors: Habermas Rebekka 
Published: October 2020

Zusammenfassung
Im Mittelpunkt des Beitrags steht die Frage, wie die überraschend aktuell anmutenden Klagen darüber, dass viele Ethnographica in den Kolonien verloren gingen und ganze Völker im der außereuropäischen Welt aussterben würden, die von Ethnologen aber auch Malern wie Emil Nolde um 1900 allenthalben erhoben wurden, zu verstehen sind und welche Folgen sie zeitigten. Argumentiert wird, dass es sich dabei um eine Form von „kolonialer Nostalgie“ (Renato Rosaldo) handelte, welche als Teil der europäischen Krise der Moderne um 1900 gesehen werden kann. Ein Effekt dieser umfassenden Nostalgie war die Entstehung eines Ethnographica- und Naturaliamarktes, welcher wiederum auf kolonialen Strukturen basierte und diese auch stärkte. Gleichzeitig waren es aber just diese Sammelleidenschaft und die damit verbundene Vorstellung der Rettung von vermeintlich Urtümlichem, die Pate standen bei der Entstehung der modernen Malerei. Emil Nolde und andere moderne Maler/innen sammelten Ethnographica und integrierten deren Motive in ihre Bilder. Diese spezifische Rezeption des Außereuropäischen kann aber genauso wenig wie die Untergangsklagen im Sinne einer Kolonialkritik verstanden werden. Vielmehr trug die Art, wie das Außereuropäische von der sich formierenden modernen Malerei rezipiert wurde, auf geradezu paradoxe Art und Weise zu der heute in der Restitutionsdebatte allenthalben beklagten kolonialen Aphasie bei.
Modulation of sleep using electrical vestibular nerve stimulation prior to sleep onset: a pilot study
Authors: Goothy Sai Sailesh Kumar , McKeown Jason 
Published: October 2020

Abstract

Objectives
Electrical stimulation of the vestibular system (VeNS) has been shown to improve Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) when delivered during sleep. We hypothesize that repeated electrical vestibular stimulation, when delivered prior to sleep onset, will improve ISI scores. The primary aim of this study was to assess the effect that VeNS had on ISI scores when delivered prior to sleep onset. A secondary aim was to provide initial data indicating “length of time to effect” that will allow more appropriate design of a larger randomized control trial (RCT).

Methods
The present study was an experimental study (pre and post without control). The participants acted as self-controls. After recording the baseline values, electrical vestibular nerve stimulation was administered as intervention once in a day for 30 min, 1 h prior to sleep onset using ML1000 device (Neurovalens, UK) for 14 days.

Results
There was significant decrease in the ISI scores followed by the electrical vestibular nerve stimulation. Further, participants reported a significant increase in well-rested sleep post the intervention period.

Conclusions
This study supports our hypothesis that VeNS has a positive impact on ISI scores when delivered on a regular basis prior to sleep onset.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2) that causes COVID-19 infections penetrates body cells by binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) receptors. Evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 can also affect the urogenital tract. Hence, it should be given serious attention when treating COVID-19-infected male patients of reproductive age group. Other viruses like HIV, mumps, papilloma and Epstein–Barr can induce viral orchitis, germ cell apoptosis, inflammation and germ cell destruction with attending infertility and tumors. The blood-testis barrier (BTB) and blood-epididymis barrier (BEB) are essential physical barricades in the male reproductive tract located between the blood vessel and seminiferous tubules in the testes. Despite the significant role of these barriers in male reproductive function, studies have shown that a wide range of viruses can still penetrate the barriers and induce testicular dysfunctions. Therefore, this mini-review highlights the role of ACE2 receptors in promoting SARS-CoV-2-induced blood-testis/epididymal barrier infiltration and testicular dysfunction.
Data Anonymization through Collaborative Multi-view Microaggregation

Published: October 2020

AbstractThe interest in data anonymization is exponentially growing, motivated by the will of the governments to open their data. The main challenge of data anonymization is to find a balance between data utility and the amount of disclosure risk. One of the most known frameworks of data anonymization isk-anonymity, this method assumes that a dataset is anonymous if and only if for each element of the dataset, there exist at leastk− 1 elements identical to it. In this paper, we propose two techniques to achievek-anonymity through microaggregation:k-CMVM and Constrained-CMVM. Both, use topological collaborative clustering to obtaink-anonymous data. The first one determines theklevels automatically and the second defines it by exploration. We also improved the results of these two approaches by using pLVQ2 as a weighted vector quantization method. The four methods proposed were proven to be efficient using two data utility measures, the separability utility and the structural utility. The experimental results have shown a very promising performance.

Direct contribution of angiogenic factors to neurodevelopment: a focus on angiopoietins
Authors: Luck Robert , Karakatsani Andromachi , Ruiz de Almodovar Carmen 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Over the last two decades, it has become clear that classical molecules that regulate neurodevelopment also play an important role in directly regulating the development of the vascular system and vice versa. The prototypical angiogenic ligand vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is by now also regarded as a molecular regulator of different neurodevelopmental processes, such as neuronal progenitor proliferation, migration and differentiation, dendritic and axonal branching and synaptogenesis. The direct effect of other classical angiogenic factors, such as angiopoietins and its receptor Tie2, on neurodevelopmental processes remains less defined. Recent work from our group indicates that the angiopoietin-Tie2 pathway does not only regulate blood vessel formation and stabilization but also simultaneously affect neuronal dendritogenesis in a cell-autonomous manner. In this mini-review, we will integrate our findings within the current understanding of the neurovascular link and within the previous knowledge of the potential effects of angiopoietins in the neuronal context.

Abstract
Fifty wheat seed variety (var.) CIRNO C2008 were gamma irradiated with 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, or 600 Gy by using a Cobalt-60 source at 907.39 Gy/h, and the nonirradiated seeds were considered the control (M
0). A photoperiod of 13 h of darkness (14°C) and 11 h of light (2 h at 18°C, 7 h at 25°C, and 2 h at 18°C) was used for 30 days, in a growth chamber (BJPX-A450; BIOBASE) for quantifying the morphometric traits of the irradiated vs nonirradiated seeds. The germination percentage (from 88.89% in M
0 to 77.78% in 600 Gy) did not show significant differences among treatments; while the survival percentage (from 100% in M
0 to 6.66% in 600 Gy) and plant height (from 19.21 cm in M
0 to 1.16 cm in 600 Gy) showed negative significant (p < 0.05) difference among nonirradiated seeds (M
0) and the rest of the treatments. Finally, based on the survival percentage, the calculated lethal dose was 290.6 Gy, which will allow obtaining promising wheat mutants. Gamma irradiation is a promising alternative to obtain a greater wheat variability for advanced mutant lines.

Abstract
Farmers have not tested their soils for nutrient status and therefore are unaware of the fertility status of their soils. Therefore, a baseline fertility survey of 50 hectares of land of a gravelly Alfisol in the Teaching and Research Farm of Landmark University, Omu-Aran, Kwara State, Nigeria was carried out with a view to identifying soil health constraints and site-specific sustainable land management practices for optimizing crop production. Standard field protocols and laboratory analytical procedures were employed for all sample parameters measured. Results show that the soil textural classes vary from sand to loamy sand, exchangeable acidity, Ca, Mg, K, and Na and the effective cation exchange capacity has the surface and subsurface soil values of 0.0–0.92 and 0.00–0.89 cmol kg−1, 1.6–7.7 and 2.0–5.8 cmol kg−1, 1.2–11.5 and 0.7–8.0 cmol kg−1, 0.09–0.33 and 0.09–0.43 cmol kg−1, 0.0–0.16 and 0.04–0.16 cmol kg−1, 7.2–12.10 and 0.9–12.5 cmol kg−1, respectively. P values lie in the ranges of 2.5–68.9 mg kg−1 and 2.0–37.7 mg kg−1 in the surface and subsurface soils, respectively, organic C values were 0.86–2.81% and 0.68–3.49%, respectively, in the surface and subsurface soils while the values of N were 0.12–0.61% in the surface and 0.11–0.56% subsurface soils. Land evaluation shows that the soils of the project site are very fragile and poor in native fertility. Compound fertilizers low in nitrogen contents but high in phosphorus and potassium are recommended for gravelly Alfisol in a derived savannah ecological zone of the Kwara State, Nigeria to avoid a nutrient imbalance that may create artificial deficiencies of otherwise adequate nutrient elements.
Sicily Before the Greeks. The Interaction with Aegean and the Levant in the Pre-colonial Era
Authors: Tanasi Davide 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe relationship between Sicily and the eastern Mediterranean – namely Aegean, Cyprus and the Levant – represents one of the most intriguing facets of the prehistory of the island. The frequent and periodical contact with foreign cultures were a trigger for a gradual process of socio-political evolution of the indigenous community. Such relationship, already in inception during the Neolithic and the Copper Age, grew into a cultural phenomenon ruled by complex dynamics and multiple variables that ranged from the Mid-3rd to the end of the 2nd millennium BCE. In over 1,500 years, a very large quantity of Aegean and Levantine type materials have been identified in Sicily alongside with example of unusual local material culture traditionally interpreted as resulting from external influence. To summarize all the evidence during such long period and critically address it in order to attempt historical reconstructions is a Herculean labor.Twenty years after Sebastiano Tusa embraced this challenge for the first time, this paper takes stock on two decades of new discoveries and research reassessing a vast amount of literature, mostly published in Italian and in regional journals, while also address the outcomes of new archaeometric studies. The in-depth survey offers a new perspective of general trends in this East-West relationship which conditioned the subsequent events of the Greek and Phoenician colonization of Sicily.
Formulation of Governance and Democracy Index (GDI) and Governance, Democracy, and Emancipation Index (GDEI): A Cross-country Empirical Study (1998 – 2017)
Authors: Roy Debasish 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThis research paper is aimed at formulation of a composite Governance and Democracy Index (GDI) based on the six indicators of good governance by Kaufmannet al. (2003, 2007) to assess and evaluate therelativeperformances of 10 major democracies of the world for the time period of 20 years (1998 – 2017) (Base Year = 1996). In order to do so, three distinct methodologies are adopted based on the absolute values and relative changes in the observations of independent variables. The extended part of this research involves formulation of Governance, Democracy, and Emancipation Index (GDEI) which incorporates the Emancipative values.
Content Provision in the Media Market with Single-Homing and Multi-Homing Consumers
Authors: Garcia Pires Armando J. 
Published: October 2020

AbstractIn this paper, we analyze the effects on content provision in the news market of single-homing (i.e. when readers consume news from just one outlet) and multi-homing (i.e. when readers can choose to consume news from competing outlets). Media firms compete on content provision and on advertising revenues. Readers have an ideal variety of content and experience a disutility from consuming news that differs from their ideal variety. In addition, readers have a preference for single-homing and for multi-homing. In this set-up, we show that media firms only diversify content with single-homing, but not with multi-homing. The reason for this is that competition for readers and advertising is lower under multi-homing than under single-homing, since multi-homing readers consume from all media outlets. We derive the consequences of single-homing and multi-homing for profits, consumer surplus and social welfare. We also discuss the implications of our results for the current debate in the media market related with social media and echo chambers.
Nancy and the Idea of “Being-in-common”: An Alternative Existentiality for the Subjectivity
Authors: Basturk Efe 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe aim of this article is to look at the discussion of the singularity in Jean-Luc Nancy’s philosophy as a quest to imagine a new concept of a common existence that negates the differentiation between “I” and the “other.” In the age of subjectivity, the main indicator of existence is the “subjectivity” that differs from the contingency and perceives itself as a whole in its autonomous singularity. This singularity-centralized perception of existence causes the negation of the being of the otherness and its ethical being that is the core element of establishing the subjectivity. Nancy, one of the leading philosophers offering new approaches on ethical subjectivity, tries to reflect upon a new idea about community (which is called in Nancy’s philosophy “being-in-common”), where the subjects can open themselves to the otherness. This article aims to claim that the idea of “being-in-common” is the only ethical opportunity to overcome the crisis that results from the sense of existence reduced to subjectivity. In Nancy’s thought, the ethical possibility of being-in-common should be interiorized within the concept of a communist democracy. A communist democracy is an opening of the being to its perfectibility in which the otherness is ontologically placed within the idea of the community.
Reverse localization on composite laminates using attenuated strain wave
Authors: Li Kun , Zhao Gang 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composite materials have been widely used in high-tech fields because of their outstanding physical properties. However, barely visible impact damage can be introduced by low velocity impact, which might bring tremendous risk. Monitoring impact forces is essential for the integrity and reliability of CFRP structures. In this paper, a reverse localization scheme on CFRP composite materials is developed. The scheme is based on a predictive mode of attenuated strain wave. The signals induced by low velocity impact are obtained by strain gauges. The proposed localization scheme has been verified by experimental tests of the CFRP plates with symmetrical stacking [0/45/90/−45]2s
The errors occurring in the test can be accepted for engineering application. The calculated impact locations are generally in consistent with the testing impact locations.
On the Contrasts Between sí ‘yes’ and sí que ‘yes that’ in Spanish and the Structure of the Complementizer Phrase Domain
Authors: Villa-García Julio , González Rodríguez Raquel 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
This paper aims to account for a host of old and novel syntactic contrasts between the emphatic polarity particle sí ‘yes’ and its putative counterpart with an instance of the complementizer que –sí que ‘yes that’ in Spanish. Even though the two constructions appear to be synonymous in certain contexts, closer inspection reveals that the two elements display a number of non-trivial asymmetries in their behavior and distribution and convey different meanings. We thus argue that the two elements should be treated differently. Building on Hernanz (2007 and subsequent work), we propose that sí, which marks focal positive polarity, i.e., verum focus, originates in ΣP and then moves to FocusP. By contrast, sí que is directly merged in a projection below TopicP but higher than FocusP in the left periphery, does not encode polarity, and instead renders the meaning that the speaker is extremely confident about the propositional content, be it positive or negative. We argue that sí que involves more CP structure than sí, which makes a variety of correct empirical predictions.
Thanatologische Begriffsbestimmungen: Beitrag zu einer Humanisierung der Medizin am Lebensende
Authors: Valdés-Stauber Juan 
Published: October 2020

ZusammenfassungHintergrund:Aus ontischer Sicht ist der Tod ein Ereignis im zeitlichen Daseinshorizont, ontologisch betrachtet eine Wesensbestimmung, die vernichtend und zugleich konstituierend für das biografische Leben ist. Der Tod ist in der Erste-Person-Perspektive nicht erfahrbar; das Bewusstsein des Todes ist somit ein Gewahrwerden des Sterbenmüssens. Die Konfrontation mit dem Todsein geschieht in der Zweite- und Dritte-Person-Perspektive.Fragestellung und Methode:Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der definitorischen Intension und Extension des Begriffes „Tod“. Anhand des semantischen Feldes von „Sterben“ und „Tod“ wird untersucht, inwiefern eine Begriffsanalyse zu einer Humanisierung der Medizin am Lebensende beitragen kann.Ergebnisse:Es werden fünf Dimensionen des Begriffes „Tod“ unterschieden: Sterblichkeit, Vernichtungsprinzip, Sterbeprozess, ontologische Grenze, Zustand des Totseins (abwesend in Anwesenheit). Eine Berücksichtigung der anthropologischen Sichtweise für die Medizin bei der Versorgung von Menschen an ihrem Lebensende sollte folgende Aspekte beinhalten: die Frage, wie Leben und Tod sich gegenseitig befruchten können; die Sorge über die körperbezogene Pflege; die personale Besetzung der Begriffe „Hoffnung“ und „Zuversicht“; neben der Behandlung und Linderung die Haltung als verlässliches, aufnehmendes und nicht moralisierendes Gegenüber.Diskussion:In unserer Zeit dominieren medizinische und psychologische Perspektiven auf den Tod, die einer philosophischen Kritik bedürfen. Die Einsamkeit des Sterbenden innerhalb einer zunehmenden Medikalisierung des Sterbens und des Todes wird hervorgehoben.

Published: October 2020

The main point of this study is to investigate the optimal conditions for preparation of activated carbon from wood sawdust (ACWSD) for removal of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from wastewater. The response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to prepare the ACWSD by chemical activation with potassium hydroxide (KOH). The threepreparation variables impact of activation temperature (724 – 1000 °C), KOH: precursor (wt%) impregnation ratio (IR) (2:1 – 4:1) and activation time (60 – 120 min) on removal efficiency (RE, %) of H2S and activated carbon yield (ACY, %) were investigated. The preparation parameters were correlated by developing a quadratic model depend on the central composite design (CCD) to the two responses. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was identified the most influential variable on each experimental design responses. The results showed that the temperature of 854 °C, chemical impregnation ratio of 2.95 wt% and activation time of 80 min were the optimum conditions for preparation of ACWSD with responses of RE and ACY of 72.88 % and 31.89 %, respectively. It is concluded that the ACWSD was appeared to be a favorable substance for removal of dissolved H2S from synthetic wastewater.

Published: October 2020

The port has a fairly dense loading/unloading activity according to the total flow of goods it manages. In addition to high work activities, environment factors such as noise and work climate can also affect the occurrence of work fatigue. Therefore, this study aims to determine factors associated with work fatigue in loading/unloading workers at the port. This study uses cross sectional study design with simple random sampling. Data analysis used the Paired Sample T-Test and Chi-Square test. The results showed that there was a difference of fatigue before and after work and as many as 71.2% of workers experienced moderate fatigue. It is known that age (p-value = 0,000), breakfast habits (p-value = 0,000), and years of service (p-value = 0,000) have a significant correlation with work fatigue, while nutritional status (p-value = 0.203), workload (p-value = 0.140), hot work climate (p-value = 0.362), and noise (p-value = 0.880) have no correlation with work fatigue. It was concluded that age, breakfast habits and work duration were related to work fatigue in loading/unloading labor. Therefore, workers are advised to be used to have breakfast with the right menu and time and workers should wear hats while working to reduce sun exposure.
