Bemerkungen zum ‚argentinischen‘ Borges
Authors: Küpper Joachim 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
This essay focusses on two short stories pertaining to that part of the Borgesian œuvre, which has attracted less scholarly attention than his world-famous fantastic stories (La biblioteca de Babel, El inmortal, El Aleph). The ‘Argentinian’ stories – such as El muerto, or Tema del traidor y del héroe – impress readers with their laconic diction and cynicism. Ultimately, however, they may seem to be limited to a sort of nineteenth-century mimeticism. Considering these texts in detail, it turns out that the elements conveyed by the narrator insinuate different versions of the respective story—all of which are compatible with the ‘real’ events they refer to. Consequently, the author’s mimetic tales share a conceptual framework with his fantastic yarns – precisely one that is committed to the basic assumptions of skepticism. In what follows, the essay relates Borges’ twentieth-century version of this noetic edifice to its Ancient foundations, as well as to the first ‘wave’ of Skepticism in European Modernity (Descartes; Calderón). The last section addresses the aesthetic dimension of the Borgesian short stories: how does philosophy (and epistemology especially) relate to literary fiction – that is, to a textual genre, whose primary function appears to be entertainment, based on fantasizing? Resuming the discussion of Borges’ philosophical position, the essay concludes by quoting some remarks by David Hume, which seem to give expression to an attitude towards skepticism that is shared by the Argentinian author.
Intermedial references and signification: Perception versus conception
Authors: Melnikova Irina 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The paper focuses on the issue of intermedial references, the matters of conditions, necessity and relevance of their interpretation. It discusses the question of semantic value of an intermedial reference rather than of its aesthetic, pragmatic, modal or other aspects. It considers the lack of coherence between the theoretical propositions of intermedial studies, grounded in the studies of intertextuality, and the practice of analysis. In theory, every intermedial reference configures semantic dialogue between qualified media (configurations), thus requires conceptualisation. Yet, the practice of analysis reveals that some of them perform exclusively aesthetic function and invite to keep reception within the limits of perception. Therefore I make an attempt to define the criteria of textual request for conceptualisation/interpretation set up in a text as such. I propose to revise the relevant insights of different intertextual and semiotic approaches, to perform their revision, modification and extension, to articulate possible solution and exemplify it by filmic references to painting.

Abstract

Objectives
The present pilot study aims to investigate DNA methylation changes of genes related to fibromyalgia (FM) development and its main comorbid symptoms, including sleep impairment, inflammation, depression and other psychiatric disorders. Epigenetic modifications might trigger or perpetuate complex interplay between pain transduction/transmission, central pain processing and experienced stressors in vulnerable individuals.

Methods
We conducted DNA methylation analysis by targeted bisulfite NGS sequencing testing differential methylation in 112 genomic regions from leukocytes of eight women with FM and their eight healthy sisters as controls.

Results
Tests for differentially methylated regions and cytosines brought focus on the GRM2 gene, encoding the metabotropic glutamate receptor2. The slightly increased DNA methylation observed in the GRM2 region of FM patients may confirm the involvement of the glutamate pathway in this pathological condition. Logistic regression highlighted the simultaneous association of methylation levels of depression and inflammation-related genes with FM.

Conclusions
Altogether, the results evidence the glutamate pathway involvement in FM and support the idea that a combination of methylated and unmethylated genes could represent a risk factor to FM or its consequence, more than single genes. Further studies on the identified biomarkers could contribute to unravel the causative underlying FM mechanisms, giving reliable directions to research, improving the diagnosis and effective therapies.
Judicial Review of Democracy. Maintenance of Democracy as a Functionalist Mission in the Jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of Kosovo
Authors: Hasani Enver 
Published: December 2020

AbstractUsing Kosovo and its constitutional jurisprudence as a case study, this paper discusses the role of constitutional courts as agents for implementing a democratic project on behalf of the sovereign as the principal. It discusses that role primarily from the point of view of the court’s functional intervention in improving the behaviour of the three branches of government. The paper begins by unveiling the historical development of constitutional justice, with as its focus the concept of new constitutionalism and the European/Kelsenian model encountered in Kosovo. It discusses too the theories of delegation of power, the contractual relationship, and trust between sovereigns and constitutional adjudicators in the context of subjects connected with this article. To present scenarios where the court manifests itself as a negative legislator, a positive legislator, and as an influencer of attitudes, the article includes convincing illustrations from both legal theory and case-law.
Erziehungskrisen in der familialen Lebenspraxis – ein Annäherungsversuch
Authors: Franzheld Tobias , Schierbaum Anja 
Published: December 2020

ZusammenfassungIm vorliegenden Beitrag beschäftigen wir uns mit der Frage, welche Bedeutung Erziehungskrisen für die familiale Lebenspraxis besitzen. Wir nutzen konkrete Krisensituationen in Familien, um Rückschlüsse auf die familiale Erziehungspraxis zu ziehen. Einleitend unterscheiden wir zwischen einer KrisederErziehung und Krisenin derErziehung. Anschließend zeigt ein Blick auf den Forschungsstand zur Familienerziehung, dass Erziehungskrisen, auch wenn der Zusammenhang von Familienalltag und -erziehung empirisch untersucht wird, bislang keinen Eingang in die Erziehungsforschung gefunden haben. Methodologisch stehen unsere Überlegungen im Zusammenhang zur Objektiven Hermeneutik, mit der wir den ‚pathologischen‘ Charakter von Krisen kritisch reflektieren und entsprechend des familialen Beziehungs- und Handlungssystems kontextualisieren. Empirisch widmet sich der Beitrag der Textinterpretation eines Interviewprotokolls mit einer Jugendlichen, die sich, so unsere Deutung, aufgrund einer Erziehungskrise an eine Schutzeinrichtung der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe wendet. Vor dem Hintergrund ihres öffentlich kommunizierten Schutzbedürfnisses kann von einer durchlebten Krise im familialen Beziehungs und Handlungssystem ausgegangen werden, deren Bedeutung wir auf der Grundlage des Interviewprotokolls mit der Heranwachsenden im Nachgang ihrer Selbstmeldung sequenzanalytisch erschließen.
Impedance analysis of porous electrode structures in batteries and fuel cells
Authors: Weber André 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Today technical electrodes in batteries and fuel cells rely on complex multiphase microstructures that facilitate electronic, ionic and, in case of fuel cells, diffusive gas transport to the active reaction sites distributed in the electrode volume. The impedance of such electrodes can be described by the well-established transmission line model (TLM) approach. In a TLM, transport, charge transfer phenomena and capacitive effects are coupled considering microstructural features of the electrode. Its application for impedance data analysis of technical cells is challenging as the TLM impedance extends over a wide frequency range and quite often a strong overlapping with other contributions takes place.
In this paper the application of the distribution of relaxation times (DRT) to the analysis of technical electrodes in batteries and fuel cells is elucidated. Different examples how to apply the DRT to analyze impedance spectra of solid oxide-, polymer electrolyte- and lithium ion-cells will be discussed. It will be shown that the TLM is usually represented by multiple peaks in the DRT, which might be strongly affected if contributions of different electrode layers overlap in the spectra. Related error sources and countermeasures are illustrated. Approaches how the DRT can be applied for the analysis of measured spectra and how it is able to support CNLS-fitting are presented.
Two luminescent d
10 metal coordination polymers based on 3-nitro-5-(pyridin-3-yl)benzoic acid

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Two new coordination polymers (CPs), [Zn(npba)2] (1) and [Cd(npba)2] (2), have been hydrothermally synthesized from Zn(NO3)2·6H2O/Cd(NO3)2·6H2O and 3-nitro-5-(pyridin-3-yl) benzoic acid (Hnpba). The products have been characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In CP 1, the four-coordinated Zn(II) centers are bridged by npba ligands to generate chains, which are connected through arene π–π stacking interactions to generate a layer structure. In CP 2, the six-coordinated Cd(II) centers are also bridged by npba ligands to form chains with similar connectivity. The photoluminescence properties of CPs 1 and 2 were studied.
Centriolar distal appendages activate the centrosome‐PIDDosome‐p53 signalling axis via ANKRD26

AbstractCentrosome amplification results into genetic instability and predisposes cells to neoplastic transformation. Supernumerary centrosomes trigger p53 stabilization dependent on the PIDDosome (a multiprotein complex composed by PIDD1, RAIDD and Caspase‐2), whose activation results in cleavage of p53’s key inhibitor, MDM2. Here, we demonstrate that PIDD1 is recruited to mature centrosomes by the centriolar distal appendage protein ANKRD26. PIDDosome‐dependent Caspase‐2 activation requires not only PIDD1 centrosomal localization, but also its autoproteolysis. Following cytokinesis failure, supernumerary centrosomes form clusters, which appear to be necessary for PIDDosome activation. In addition, in the context of DNA damage, activation of the complex results from a p53‐dependent elevation of PIDD1 levels independently of centrosome amplification. We propose that PIDDosome activation can in both cases be promoted by an ANKRD26‐dependent local increase in PIDD1 concentration close to the centrosome. Collectively, these findings provide a paradigm for how centrosomes can contribute to cell fate determination by igniting a signalling cascade.
A Model of the Geological Structure and the Oil and Gas Prospects of Neocomian (Berriasian–Lower Aptian) Sediments of the West Siberia Arctic Regions and the Kara Sea Shelf
Authors: Kontorovich V.A. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
—The paper presents a model of the geologic structure of Neocomian (Berriasian–lower Aptian) sediments in the Arctic regions of West Siberia and on the shelf of the Kara Sea. The southern part of the Kara Sea is the northern end of the West Siberian sedimentary basin and is identified as the South Kara regional depression of the West Siberian oil and gas province (OGP). Structural and tectonic analysis was performed, and 97 oil- and gas-promising anticlinal objects (structures of ranks III–IV) were identified in the Neocomian megacomplex relief, including 61 on the continent and 36 on the shelf. In the Yamal and Gydan oil and gas areas (OGA), the Neocomian complex of sediments has a structure typical of West Siberia. The megacomplex includes clinoform and shelf complexes. Clinoforms resulted from the ablation of terrigenous material from the eastern and southeastern edges of the plate and are tilted in the northwestern direction; the depocenter within which the eastern and western clinoforms converge is located in the Urals zone, west of the Nurmin megaswell. In the South Kara regional depression, the Berriasian–lower Aptian megacomplex is also represented by clinoform and shelf complexes. On the Kara Sea shelf, Neocomian clinoforms are tilted in the southern, western, and eastern directions; they resulted from the ablation of sediments from the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago and the Siberian Sill. Throughout most of the South Kara regional depression, clinoforms have a typical structure and contain shelf and Achim sandstones that can concentrate significant volumes of hydrocarbons; in the northeast, in the pre-sill zone, clinoform deposits will be represented by poorly sorted “dump” sandstones.
Céramiques glaçurées et à décor vert et brun des épaves islamiques de Provence (fin IXe-début Xe siècle)
Authors: Richarté-Manfredi Chaterine 
Published: December 2020

Aborder le thème des mobiliers céramiques glaçurés, qui constituent une part, somme toute, assez modeste des cargaisons étudiées des épaves islamiques de Provence, revêt toutefois une importance cruciale en terme de diffusion des techniques et savoir-faire en Méditerranée du haut Moyen Âge. Les produits transportés par les navires à partir des côtes du sud-est et du Levant ibérique permettent de cerner, au plus juste, la datation de ces « ensembles clos » engloutis. Par ailleurs, la confrontation de ces données avec celles du sud-est péninsulaire (Pechina/Alméria) est tout à fait indispensable pour la compréhension de cette dynamique commerciale du haut Moyen Âge méditerranéen.
Energy efficiency in cleanrooms and separative devices: ISO 14644-16, outreach article
Authors: Gibbons Dick 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The ISO 14644 family of cleanroom standards has been at the center of international cleanroom standards development for many years and covers most facets of cleanroom activity and cleanroom types from large ballroom cleanrooms to isolators and clean tunnels. The series is under constant review and is still expanding.
Recent documents that have been released concern the quantification of airborne and surface chemical concentrations, nanoparticles and the selection and testing of equipment used within these rooms. However, apart from some misleading information in the original Part 4 design document, questions concerning the energy demands from air purification processing have been overlooked. Nationally, institutions such as the BSI in UK, DIN- VDI in Germany and IEST in the USA have produced limited information on the topic, but Part 16 is the first standard to be internationally agreed upon.
The key new features of the standard are a) the preparation of an accurate User Requirement Specification (URS), b) a practical method for estimating the volume of supply air needed to maintain the specified ISO room classifications in operation, c) tuning and d) benchmarking. An informative annex develops three useful metrics for benchmarking: power intensity for contamination removal (PICR), fan energy intensity for contamination removal (EICR) and energy intensity (EI).
Comparison of the Aerosol Photometer and Light Scattering Airborne Particle Counter (LSAPC) Methods for Installed Filter System Leak Testing
Authors: Thaveau Bernard , Vanhee Jean-Michel 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The installed filter system leak test method for cleanrooms and clean zones is described in ISO 14644-3, Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments—Part 3: Test method. Portions of the methods in ISO 14644-3 were adapted from IEST-RP-CC034.4[Schaumburg, Illinois, US: Institute of Environmental Science and Technology], which provides a set of recommended procedures for leak testing HEPA and ULPA filters in situ (in the field) with the aerosol photometer test method and the light scattering airborne particle counter (LSAPC) test method. Leak testing is performed to confirm that the final high efficiency air filter system is properly installed by verifying the absence of bypass leakage in the installation, and that the filters are free of defects (small holes and other damage in the filter medium, frame, seal and leaks in the filter bank framework).
This study was conducted to compare the aerosol photometer and LSAPC methods. Testing in the study consisted of creating artificial leaks in the filter system, measuring the upstream and downstream concentrations with the aerosol photometer and with the LSAPC, and comparing the filter leak penetration results. Comparison testing was applied to the procedure for the installed terminal panel filter system leakage scan test (stationary measurement) and the procedure for evaluating overall leakage of high-airflow box-type filters mounted in a duct or air-handling unit (AHU) (overall leakage test). It was found that the aerosol photometer and the LSAPC gave similar results for filter leakage within experimental error.
The comparison of the leakage scan tests (stationary measurement) showed that the penetration calculated for the channel ≥ 0.3 μm of the LSAPC with an air flow rate of 1cu ft/min (CFM) (28.3 l/min) was very similar to the penetration measured with the aerosol photometer for a leakage level &gt;0.01 % of the upstream concentration. The comparison result of the overall leakage test showed that overall total penetration values, obtained after dilution of artificial calibrated leaks in the filter media, were identical, within the measurement uncertainty, for particles ≥0.3 μm whether the sampling rate of the LSAPC was 1 CFM (28.3 l/min) or 50 l/min.
Several recommendations are provided. In particular, for filters mounted in a duct or AHU where the filter function is critical, the recommended method is the leakage scan test method, using a grid sampling method in a plane downstream of the filter (as agreed between customer and supplier).
Inter-comparison of environmental low-cost sensors on Arduino platform
Authors: Scagliotti Ariel Fabricio , Jorge Guillermo Antonio 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Low-cost sensors for relative humidity, pressure, and ambient temperature have begun to be used regularly for different applications in which the measurement or control of systems or processes is required using an affordable technology. However, in most cases, reliable information about their performance, capabilities, and limitations is not available. In this work, we aim to establish a systematic comparison between different sensors widely used in conjunction with the Arduino platform, such as the DS18b20, DHT11, BMP180, and BME280 sensors. Laboratory and field trials were performed to determine linearity, accuracy, precision, resolution, response times, and response to loss of power. The results indicate that these devices, despite having a very low cost, can provide relatively reliable information, taking into account their manufacturing characteristics and the specific use required. In turn, this work offers useful information to choose the sensor that best suits a particular project.

Published: December 2020

Ocular trauma is the commonest cause of uniocular cataract in young individuals.Aim of this study was to quantify the visual outcome in terms of visual acuity after removal of traumatic cataract and implantation of an IOL. A prospective study was done in department of ophthalmology at a tertiary care teaching hospital of Andhra Pradesh. The Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology System was used to classify ocular trauma. All patients underwent for detailed clinical history and ocular examinations including visual acuity, slit lamp biomicroscopy, direct/indirect ophthalmoscopy and a B-Scan ultrasonography etc. Patients were followed up for 3 months postoperatively. The data was analyzed using suitable statistical tests.Out of total 65 patients, 77% patients were males and 30.7% were less than 20 years of age. 66.2% patients sustained penetrating trauma while 33.8% got blunt injury. 9.2% cases had some degree of vision (6/30 to 6/120). After three months of surgery, 76.9% patients had visual acuity of &#62;6/18. The difference in visual outcome at 3rd month evaluation between blunt and penetrating ocular injury was statistically insignificant (p=0.813). The younger age was significantly associated with better visual acuity (p=0.016). Patients receiving foldable IOL showed statistically better result (p=0.0231) as compared to rigid IOL.Traumatic cataract occurs mostly in young, active males who are mostly illiterate. IOL is the treatment of choice. Younger age of the patient, early surgery, implantation of foldable lens in intact capsular bag are favorable factors for achieving good visual acuity (&#62;6/18).

Published: December 2020

Objectives. To investigate how census tract (CT) estimates of mortality rates and inequities are affected by (1) differential privacy (DP), whereby the public decennial census (DC) data are injected with statistical “noise” to protect individual privacy, and (2) uncertainty arising from the small number of different persons surveyed each year in a given CT for the American Community Survey (ACS). Methods. We compared estimates of the 2008–2012 average annual premature mortality rate (death before age 65 years) in Massachusetts using CT data from the 2010 DC, 2010 DC with DP, and 2008–2012 ACS 5-year estimate data. Results. For these 3 denominator sources, the age-standardized premature mortality rates (per 100 000) for the total population respectively equaled 166.4 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 162.2, 170.6), 166.4 (95% CI = 162.2, 170.6), and 166.3 (95% CI = 162.1, 170.5), and inequities in the range from best to worst quintile for CT racialized economic segregation were from 103.4 to 260.1, 102.9 to 258.7, and 102.8 to 262.4. Similarity of results across CT denominator sources held for analyses stratified by gender and race/ethnicity. Conclusions. Estimates of health inequities at the CT level may not be affected by use of 2020 DP data and uncertainty in the ACS data.
