VIELSTIMMIGE JÜDISCHE ERZÄHLUNGEN IN DER ZEITGENÖSSISCHEN POLNISCHEN LITERATUR
Authors: Trepte Hans-Christian , Bauer Iris Tabea 
Published: November 2020

Zagłada Żydów zajmuje bardzo ważne miejsce w polskiej literaturze powojennej od czasów drugiej wojny światowej aż do współczesności. Autorzy artykułu koncentrują się przede wszystkim na ważnych debatach dotyczących polsko-żydowskiej przeszłości, zwłaszcza czasów okupacji faszystowskiej. W centrum zainteresowania znajdują się wybrane teksty współczesnej literatury polskiej analizowane w szerokim kontekście historycznym, społeczno-politycznym i kulturowym. Rozważono, w jaki sposób przedstawiciele różnych pokoleń podchodzą do tematyki Żydów w Polsce oraz Zagłady. W analizach skoncentrowano się na trzech znaczących dziełach literackich: Chmurdaliach Joanny Bator (2010), Rozwiązłej Jarosława Kamińskiego (2011) i Nocy żywych Żydów Igora Ostachowicza (2012), które prezentują różne podejścia pisarzy do skomplikowanej polsko-żydowskiej przeszłości oraz ilustrują istotne przesunięcia w sposobie jej opisywania. Zauważono zmianę w podejściu do tabuizowanych tematów warunków życiowych w obozach koncentracyjnych (przestępstwa, przemoc seksualna, prostytucja) oraz traktowaniu żydowskości, która staje się ważnym, lecz nie dominującym motywem literackim. W najnowszej literaturze poszukiwanie korzeni oraz tożsamości żydowskiej na podstawie dokumentów czy zdjęć często skutkuje barwnymi rekonstrukcjami polsko-żydowskich losów.
«ПОЛЬСКИЙ ЭЛЕМЕНТ» В КОЛОНИЗАЦИОННЫХ СТРУКТУРАХ ПОЗДНЕИМПЕРСКОЙ И РАННЕСОВЕТСКОЙ РОССИИ
Authors: Суворова Наталья 
Published: November 2020

W artykule na podstawie dokumentacji biurowej i źródeł pochodzenia osobistego autor ujawnia „polski element” w kolonizacyjnych instytucjach późnej imperialnej i wczesnej sowieckiej Rosji. Biorąc pod uwagę cechy jakościowe szerszej grupy – ekspertów kolonizacyjnych, autorka podejmuje próbę ujawnienia różnych dodatkowych czynników kształtowania się hierarchii tożsamości w grupie, oprócz polityki państwa i właściwych preferencji narodowych. Typologizacja w połączeniu z analizą biografii zawodowych urzędników polskiego pochodzenia pozwala zrekonstruować indywidualne cechy społeczno-kulturowe grupy, w tym uczucia społeczno-polityczne, charakter edukacji, choroby zawodowe itp.

Intencją proponowanych badań jest nie tylko wniesienie wkładu w podstawową typologiczną klasyfikację transformacji postaci w badanych narracjach, ale również ujęcie archetypowych znaczeń zjawiska.
Jeszcze o społecznych zadaniach językoznawstwa
Authors: Walczak Bogdan 
Published: November 2020

Na wstępie autor wyjaśnia przyczyny podjęcia tytułowego zagadnienia mimo obfitości literatury naukowej na ten temat – jedną z przyczyn jest Rezolucja Europejskiej Federacji Narodowych Instytucji na rzecz Języka (EFNIL). Po przypomnieniu historycznych prolegomenów kultury języka (werdyktów normatywnych) skupia się na dwu społecznych zadaniach językoznawstwa: krzewieniu kultury i poprawności językowej oraz popularyzacji wiedzy językoznawczej. W odniesieniu do pierwszego z tych zadań rozpatruje kwestie warunków skuteczności werdyktów normatywnych oraz podstaw naukowych tych werdyktów.
Stereotypy w dowcipach macedońskich
Authors: Błaszak Magdalena 
Published: November 2020

Artykuł Stereotypy w dowcipach macedońskich ma na celu ukazanie, że dowcipy powstają dzięki stereotypom, są przez nie utrwalane i rozpowszechniane. Stereotypy występują w każdej grupie społecznej, przekazują tradycję społeczną z pokolenia na pokolenie, pomijając fakt, że dany obraz grupy przez wiele lat ewoluował. Autorka w artykule podaje przykłady macedońskich dowcipów o różnych grupach narodowych, społecznych czy etnicznych. Na tej podstawie przedstawia zarówno uprzedzenia Macedończyków występujące na przykład w stosunku do określonych narodowości, jak i pozytywne postrzeganie tych nacji. Przedmiotem badań są dowcipy zaczerpnięte z macedońskich stron internetowych, a zastosowana przez autorkę metoda badawcza pozwala na klasyfikację treści według różnych rodzajów stereotypów: etnicznych, narodowych, klas zawodowych czy grup społecznych.
Das Musikinstitut der Fondazione Giorgio Cini
Authors: Borio Gianmario 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
In 2020, the Institute of Music of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini celebrated its 35th birthday. Its archive preserves 26 collections belonging to Italian composers and musicians of the 20th century: a significant quantity of sources encompassing several generations and aesthetic orientations (from Casella to Romitelli, from Rota to Manzoni etc.). The state of current discourse and new technologies are leading to a re-orientation of archival work. First, it can contribute to a more detailed picture of musical facts and personal interactions. Second, digital technologies create the conditions for new ways of evaluating the data found in different sources; and third, an archive is now increasingly conceived as a service and the use of its resources is not limited to historiographical research but also encompasses the dissemination of knowledge and musical practice. The book series „The Composer’s Workshop”, the online-journal „Archival Notes” and the workshop cycle „Research-led Performance” are examples of the wide range of activities connected with our archive.
Venedig und der „wilde Osten“
Authors: Paulus Christof , Weber Albert 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Venice is considered the best-informed community of the late Middle Ages. The study examines the availability of information for the second half of the 15th century, particularly with regard to the key year 1462/1463, and as a case study concentrates on areas of the supposed Venetian periphery of interest, above all Hungary and the two principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia. The result is a thoroughly differentiated system of information acquisition, verification and control. Means of communication, as well as different areas of interest of the Serenissima, can be identified. A distinction is made between information maps and communication maps. The latter also include the distribution of news from the lagoon city exchanged with foreign envoys. During the period concerned, news was exchanged in an astonishingly liberal way, in turn integrating the Serenissima into the information networks of the other Italian states. The study thus places the „information commodity“ within the research field of late medieval gift exchange and patronage structures. In short, a thoroughly pragmatic Venetian approach to news acquisition and evaluation can be observed. Verification of the quality of the information obtained was subject not least to quantitative and ranking criteria. Ultimately, the informational power of Venice was based above all on its outstanding reputation among its contemporaries.
MIS-C and Cardiac Conduction Abnormalities
Authors: Choi Nak Hyun , Fremed Michael , Starc Thomas , Weller Rachel , Cheung Eva , Ferris Anne , Silver Eric S. , Liberman Leonardo 
Published: November 2020

OBJECTIVES:
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) has spread through the pediatric population during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Our objective for the study was to report the prevalence of conduction anomalies in MIS-C and identify predictive factors for the conduction abnormalities.

METHODS:
We performed a single-center retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients &lt;21 years of age presenting with MIS-C over a 1-month period. We collected clinical outcomes, laboratory findings, and diagnostic studies, including serial electrocardiograms, in all patients with MIS-C to identify those with first-degree atrioventricular block (AVB) during the acute phase and assess for predictive factors.

RESULTS:
Thirty-two patients met inclusion criteria. Median age at admission was 9 years. Six of 32 patients (19%) were found to have first-degree AVB, with a median longest PR interval of 225 milliseconds (interquartile range 200–302), compared with 140 milliseconds (interquartile range 80–178) in patients without first-degree AVB. The onset of AVB occurred at a median of 8 days after the initial symptoms and returned to normal 3 days thereafter. No patients developed advanced AVB, although 1 patient developed a PR interval &gt;300 milliseconds. Another patient developed new-onset right bundle branch block, which resolved during hospitalization. Cardiac enzymes, inflammatory markers, and cardiac function were not associated with AVB development.

CONCLUSIONS:
In our population, there is a 19% prevalence of first-degree AVB in patients with MIS-C. All patients with a prolonged PR interval recovered without progression to high-degree AVB. Patients admitted with MIS-C require close electrocardiogram monitoring during the acute phase.
SCENES WITH THE EARTH AS ACTOR: AGENCY AND THE EARLY-MODERN EARTH
Authors: REGIER JONATHAN 
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT
This essay asks how several major figures of Renaissance and early-modern philosophy saw the Earth as agential. It argues that the Earth’s agency served as a well-articulated and fundamental concept in their philosophies. That is, figures like Giordano Bruno and Johannes Kepler conceived of the Earth’s agency such that it solved key problems in their cosmological systems. The essay is inspired by Bruno Latour’s ecological thought, even as it acts as a corrective to certain of his assertions about early modernity. The essay concludes with some practical lessons that might be taken from early modernity.
ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS FOR A FALLEN WORLD: JOHANN JAKOB SCHEUCHZER (1672–1733) AND THE BOUNDARIES OF HUMAN AGENCY
Authors: MIGLIETTI SARA 
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT
This article traces the formation of a (self-)critical discourse around human environmental agency in early Enlightenment Europe, focusing on the Swiss naturalist Johann Jakob Scheuchzer (1672–1733) and the Royal Society milieus to which he was connected. In manuscript and printed writings, and particularly in his beautifully illustrated Physica sacra (1731–1735), Scheuchzer used a combination of biblical exegesis, thought experiments, and ecological insights to reflect about the relationship between God, humankind, and nature. Against claims that the tradition of natural theology in which Scheuchzer belonged “prevented and delayed the acknowledgment of the earth as vulnerable” (Kempe 2003b, p. 166), the article shows how different thinkers could use the Bible to support competing claims regarding the role of humans as agents in God’s creation. While some authors enthusiastically upheld contemporary ideologies of environmental ‘improvement’, others—including Scheuchzer himself—called for greater self-restraint and developed a biblically-grounded form of precautionary environmental ethics.
CA724 predicts overall survival in locally advanced gastric cancer patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy&nbsp;
Authors: Tong Yilin , Zhao Yan , Shan Zexing , Zhang Jianjun 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Background: Serum tumor markers including AFU, AFP, CEA, CA199, CA125 and CA724, are of great importance in the diagnosis, prognostic prediction and recurrence monitoring of gastrointestinal malignancies. However, their significance in gastric cancer (GC) patients with neoadjuvant therapy (NCT) is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of these six tumor markers in locally advanced GC patients who underwent NCT and curative surgery. Methods: In total, 290 locally advanced GC patients who underwent NCT and D2 radical gastrectomy were retrospectively analyzed. Data on their tumor markers before (pre-) and after (post-) NCT and pathological characteristics were extracted from the database of our hospital. The optimal cutoff values of the six tumor markers were calculated by the ROC curve and Youden index. Their predictive significance was analyzed and survival curves for overall survival (OS) were obtained by the Kaplan-Meier method. Associations between categorical variables were explored by the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Multivariate analyses were performed by the Cox regression model. Results: Pre- and post-CA199, -CA125 and -CA724 could predict overall survival (all P < 0.05), but only the change (diff-) of CA199 was related to prognosis (P = 0.05). In the multivariable analysis, pre- (P = 0.014) and post-CA724 (P = 0.036) remained significant, though diff-CA724 was not an independent prognostic factor (P = 0.581). In addition, pre- and post-CA199, -CA125 and -CA724 were associated with lymph node metastasis (N- vs N+) and pathological stage (Ⅰ-Ⅱ vs Ⅲ) (all P < 0.05). Moreover, post-CA724 was related to the vascular or lymphatic invasion (P = 0.019), while pre-CA724 was not (P = 0.082). However, AFU, AFP and CEA showed no association with survival (P > 0.05). Conclusions: CA724 is an independent factor for prognosis and could be used to predict ypN and ypTNM stage in locally advanced GC patients undergoing NCT and curative resection.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Study designA retrospective studyBackgroundTo determine whether radiological parameters such as maximal lumbar lordosis-maximal thoracic kyphosis (maxLL-maxTK), sacral slope-pelvic tilt(SS-PT) and sacral slope/pelvic tilt (SS/PT) could be used as indicators for the diagnosis of degenerative disc disease (DDD) in compensatory sagittal balanced patients.MethodsMedical records of compensatory sagittal balanced DDD patients and asymptomatic adults in our hospital from July 2019 to November 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. General characters and radiological parameters were evaluated between the two groups. Analysis of covariance with age as a covariate was conducted, followed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and areas under the curve (AUC) calculation. The max Youden index was calculated to identify the optimal sensitivity specificity pairs.ResultsA total of 42 DDD patients and 199 asymptomatic adults were included. For those parameters that showed significant differences between the two groups, AUC for SS/PT and SS-PT were the largest, reaching 0.919 and 0.936, respectively. The sensitivity was 0.749, the specificity was 0.952 and the max Youden index was 0.701 when SS/PT = 1.635 was used as threshold. The max Youden index was found for a threshold of SS-PT = 8.500, for which the sensitivity increased to 0.854, while the specificity decreased to 0.857.ConclusionsBoth SS/PT and SS-PT were significantly different between compensatory sagittal balanced DDD patients and asymptomatic adults. SS/PT < 1.6 and SS-PT < 8.5 could be used as indicators for the diagnosis of DDD patients with compensatory sagittal balance.

Abstract
BackgroundAvian malaria parasites are common and worldwide distributed microorganisms parasitizing erythrocytes and various tissues of the birds. These parasites are known to infect birds of different taxa and be the cause of the bird’s deaths in wildlife and captivity. A particular interest possesses the species of parasites with the ability to colonize new territories and infect local non-migratory birds. This scenario is likely in temperate zones of Europe because of the present climate change and its contribution to the spreading of southern origin vectors which can be involved in the transmission of malaria parasites. In the present study, a tropical Plasmodium parasite from a naturally infected long-distance migrant bird was isolated and tested for its ability to develop in common species of mosquitoes and European short-distance migrant bird. MethodsPlasmodium sp. (pFANTAIL01) was isolated from the naturally infected Common rosefinch, Carpodacus erythrinus. The parasite was described based on the morphological features of its blood stages, the partial mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and development after experimental infection of birds and mosquitoes. The parasite was inoculated into Eurasian siskins, Carduelis spinus. Parasitemia, hematocrit value and weight of birds were monitored. At the end of the survey, internal organs were collected to study exoerythrocytic stages of this parasite. Experimental infection of mosquitoes Culex pipiens pipiens form molestus and C. quinquefasciatus was applied to study sporogonic development of the parasite.ResultsBased on morphological features, the new parasite was described as Plasmodium collidatum n. sp. and attributed to subgenus Novyella. It was revealed that the obtained pFANTAIL01 lineage is a generalist parasite infecting a wide range of avian hosts and most likely is transmitted in South and Southeast (SE) Asia and Oceania. In Europe this strain was recorded only in adult migratory birds wintering in South Asia. This parasite developed high parasitemia in experimentally infected siskins and caused 25% mortality. Exoerythrocytic stages of pFANTAIL01 were found in the lungs, liver, spleen and kidney of the deceased birds. Sporogonic development did not occur in C. p. p. f. molestus and C. quinquefasciatus mosquitoes.ConclusionPlasmodium collidatum is a highly virulent for Eurasian siskin and completes its development in these birds, which can be considered as a potential vertebrate host if the transmission of the infection starts occurring in Europe and temperate zones.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Mulberry leaves are used in traditional Chinese medicine and contain numerous active substances that are known to be beneficial for human health. The aim of this study was to investigate the phenolic compositions and antioxidant activities of the leaves from 23 mulberry cultivars. Qualitative LC-ESI-QTOF analysis revealed the presence of 11 phenolic compounds in the free phenolic extracts and 10 phenolic compounds in the bound fractions. Chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid were the major components in the free and bound fractions, respectively. The results revealed that the changguosang cultivar from Taiwan contained the greatest content of phenolic compounds as well as the highest antioxidant activity among the 23 cultivars examined, as determined using three separate antioxidant assays. The isoquercitrin, chlorogenic acid, and rutin contents of the free phenolic extracts displayed significant correlations with the antioxidant activities, while syringic acid and rutin were the main contributors to the antioxidant activities of the bound phenolic fractions. The obtained results demonstrate that mulberry leaves contain a variety of beneficial phenolic substances and may be suitable for further development as a herbal medicine.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Background: Use of standardized and scientifically sound outcome measures is highly encouraged in clinical practice and research. Researchers have identified that with the development of newer rehabilitation therapies we need technology-supported upper extremity outcome measures that are easily accessible and can measure change consistently and reliably. 3‐dimensional printing (3D-printing) has recently seen a meteoric rise in interest within medicine including the field of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The primary objective of the current study was to evaluate the feasibility of designing and constructing a 3D printed version of the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute-Hand Function Test (TRI-HFT). The secondary objective was to assess the preliminary psychometrics of the 3D TRI-HFT in individuals with stroke. Results: 3D design files were created using the measurements of the original TRI-HFT objects. The 3D printed objects were then compared to the original test objects to ensure that the original dimensions were preserved. All objects were successfully printed except the sponge and paper which required some modification. The error margin for weight of the objects was within 10% for the rest of the objects. Nine participants underwent the following assessments: the Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory (CAHAI), Fugl Meyer Assessment-Hand (FMA-Hand), Chedoke McMaster stages of recovery of the arm (CMSA-Arm) and Chedoke McMaster stages of recovery of the hand (CMSA-Hand) and the 3D TRI-HFT for assessment of psychometric properties of the test. The video recorded assessment of the 3D TRI-HFT was reviewed by two assessors for reliability testing. Construct validity was assessed by comparing the scores on 3D TRI-HFT with the scores on CAHAI, CMSA-Arm, CMSA-Hand and FMA-Hand. The 3D TRI-HFT had high inter-rater reliability (ICC of 0.99; P < 0.000), high intra-rater reliability (ICC of 0.99; P < 0.000) and moderate to strong correlation with the CMSA-Arm, CMSA-Hand and FMA-Hand scores. Conclusions: The TRI-HFT could be successfully 3D printed and initial testing indicates that the test is a reliable and valid measure of upper extremity motor function in individuals with stroke.
Energy-Efficient Offloading and Resource Allocation for Mobile Edge Computing Enabled Mission-Critical Internet-of-Things Systems

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The energy cost minimization for mission-critical internet-of-things (IoT) in mobile edge computing (MEC) system is investigated in this work. Therein, short data packets are transmitted between the IoT devices and the access points (APs) to reduce transmission latency and prolong the battery life of the IoT devices. The effects of short-packet transmission on the radio resource allocation is explicitly revealed. We mathematically formulate the energy cost minimization problem as a mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem, which is difficult to solve in an optimal way. More specifically, the difficulty is essentially derived from the coupling of the binary offloading variables and the resource management among all the IoT devices. For analytical tractability, we decouple the mixed-integer and non-convex optimization problem into two sub-problems, namely, the task offloading decision-making and the resource optimization problems, respectively. It is proved that the resource allocation problem for IoT devices under the fixed offloading strategy is convex. On this basis, an iterative algorithm is designed, whose performance is comparable to the best solution for exhaustive search, and aims to jointly optimize the offloading strategy and resource allocation. Simulation results verify the convergence performance and energy-saving function of the designed joint optimization algorithm. Compared with the extensive baselines under comprehensive parameter settings, the algorithm has better energy-saving effects.
