Three Poems Touching on Desire
Authors: Lea Bronwyn 
Published: October 2020

Thou Art Found Wanting

1.

I have body slammed this living looking
for its weak spot and I have found
the ground; on the whole, it has been ungiving.

Like Shakyamunis lotus sermon.

How many selves have fallen
as I come to know him?

2.

He is sitting by a wall
He cannot see the apple trees

Or my skirt as it billows in the wind
Or that my thighs are real

His molecules are senseless
And full of integrity

Like the wife who wont
Palm a twenty

3.

Desire or craving
he says
(he means to say thirst)
is the cause
of all suffering.

(He is the one who wouldnt remember me more:
the one who let my face fall without shock

like vapour from his mind.)

4.

Some of us have bodies
so spungious thin

and delicate
that we are fed

only by sucking
into some fine spirit liqueur

that pierces
like pure air

and pine oil.

5.

The man I love
Is sitting by a wall.
The wall is white.

mine-mine

He walked up to me
like some kind of gods dog
yellow eyed and bald bellied
he turned three full circles
before he made his bed with me

Always appeared
after the hoarse call
of the raven
he could smell predator
so he knew hed met his match
cras-cras

And there he was
his breast in my mouth
I called him mine-mine
my loose toothed coyote
kissing mouth to mouth feeding
swallowing his breath
and the ghost he put in it

He called me blood-swan
drank from the river
of my thighs
weeping lunar red
my moon madness streaked
across his hide

But he was the first to flee
the burning stubble
when the final sheaf
was cut at harvest
mine-mine

I cried but he was gone
his yellow eyes remembering
some other rabid moment

On Longing

Will it ever end -- only
From underneath I think

Your hand reaching through
The backyard cedar

Scooping up koi
Orange in the blackened pond

The wind in your hair
I could live as the tillandsia

On air I think
On the breath of a word

No it will never --
Not even underneath

Zeitgeist
Authors: Johnson Andrew 
Published: October 2020

Zeitgeist, a cycle of digital collages, of images within images, references the visibility and invisibility of communication via the personalized icons of the hand phone and dust mask.

The mobile phone affirms and denies what is immediately present before us. It carries images and sounds customized to represent individual callers, however remote. We believe that they offer protection and lessen fear, especially fear of another’s aggression, address, glance or absence. Their capabilities provoke meditation on degrees of immanence through an amalgamation of personal and public space. When speaking on a hand phone, one typically looks down, withdrawing from the immediate environment. The proximate withdraws from consciousness as the distant approaches, as in any telecommunication, but now this creation and collapsing of relations is on public display. Infected with the promise of greater and ubiquitous intimacy and exchange, we remain insecure hosts.

Dust masks, common on the spring streets of Seoul, are social shells that conceal and reveal collective contamination and individual sacrifice. They isolate and bind and make anonymous. Often they are borne by the sick (hosts, again) so as not to spread disease. But they are also worn by protesters to preserve anonymity and for protection from dispersing fumes. Indicative of social challenge, personal vulnerability or pandemic infection (especially in the case of Avian Flu), the mask is permeated by fear floating freely between peoples, countries, and continents. Floating in the air — microbes, infections, apparitions, voices beyond.

The cell phone, with all its messages, texts and images, signals the spirit of the times, a zeitgeist of promise — instilling the need for constant connection, paradoxically breeding dependency amidst isolation.

Curatorial Design & Complexity
Authors: Dziekan Vince 
Published: October 2020

Synopsis

The technologised interface between physical and virtual spaces has consequence upon how communication and meaning is culturally negotiated and the act of involvement or participation is socially organized organised through the art of exhibition. How might these relationships be designed? As broached in this short paper, the curatorial project Remote is indicative of the influence that the digital has had on matters involving curatorial design and the ‘dimensioning’ of the exhibition form itself.

The following text will lead towards an abbreviated summary of this particular curated project by discussing how an understanding of the exhibition (as a hybrid medium) might be illuminated by approaching it as a complex structure exhibiting both formal and contextual qualities. After a brief digression in which the publication format itself is introduced as a contributing form of exposition to this argument, an ecology of exhibition will be focussed upon. The term ‘ecology’ is particularly appropriate to this discourse as it resonates well with a curatorial design perspective of the exhibition as a dynamic, interconnected system of forms, spaces and relationships. The main part of the article is composed of five short episodic sections that, when combined, aggregate as a collection of concerns (thematic, design-based, institutional, curatorial) relating to the mediation of the extended typology of spaces that make up the exhibition complex: [artifact – exhibition – museum].

Rechtsstaatcultuur
Authors: Janse Ronald 
Published: October 2020

Rechtsstaatcultuur
Een rechtsstaat is gebaseerd op zelfbinding van de overheid aan het recht. Deze zelfbinding moet verankerd zijn in regels die onder meer de onafhankelijkheid van de rechterlijke macht vastleggen. De ontwikkelingen in Polen en elders tonen echter aan dat juridische regels van zelfbinding geen blokkades maar verkeersdrempels zijn op de weg naar despotisch bestuur. Een rechtsstaat vereist vooral een cultuur van zelfbinding. De conceptualisering van deze rechtsstaatcultuur staat nog in de kinderschoenen.
The Obligation of Judges to Uphold Rules of Positive Law and Possibly Conflicting Ethical Values in Context
Authors: Gyöngyi Petra 
Published: October 2020

The obligation of judges to uphold rules of positive law and possibly conflicting ethical values in context: The case of criminalization of homelessness in Hungary
This article examines the tension between the constitutional obligation of judges to uphold rules of positive law and possibly conflicting standards of conduct arising from professional-ethical values. The theoretical analysis will be illustrated by the case of Hungary, an EU member state experiencing rule of law challenges since 2010 and where the 2018-2019 criminalization of homelessness exemplifies the studied tension. Inspired by the theories of Philip Selznick and Martin Krygier, rule of law will be viewed as a value that requires progressive realization and context-specific implementation. By contextualizing the relevant Hungarian constitutional framework with the content of the judicial code of ethics and judicial practice, it will be shown how the legitimate space for Hungarian judges to distance themselves from legislation possibly in conflict with rule of law values is reduced. Theoretical suggestions for addressing such rule of law regressions will be made.
Analysis of Tourism Market at Peripheral Areas in Badung, Bali
Authors: Adikampana I. Made 
Published: October 2020

Aims: This paper addressed the characteristics of the tourism market to provide consideration to the development of local community-based tourism products in peripheral areas in Badung, Bali, Indonesia.
Study Design: Survey.
Place and Duration of Study: Pangsan Tourist Village. The study conducted between June and August 2019.
Methodology: Data collected by a visitor survey. The questionnaire employed a structured question to respondents at one time. The questions are related to the characteristics of the respondents. Respondents are tourists visiting peripheral areas and determined by purposive sampling. The number of respondents was 100 tourists. Then the collected data analyzed descriptively to interpret the appropriate market for tourism products of peripheral areas.
Results: Tourists in the peripheral areas in Badung dominated by foreign from Europe. More than 80% of tourists come from France, Holland, Germany, England, and Italy. These countries are the main markets. Apart, the source of the tourism market potentially arrives from Australia and China. On the demographic facet, the tourism market is dominated by adults. Jobs related are professionals, managerial, and civil servants who have a solid urban routine every day. In addition, most tourists have high education levels. These characteristics are coherent with tourism products in the peripheral areas. The results also represent that the market has an average night holiday is 20 nights. However, most of the leisure time spent visiting and staying in centers of tourism. These circumstances indicate the dominance of the tourism center and contribute to the lack of community participation in tourism development in the peripheral areas.
Conclusion: To promote participation it is important to maintain the suitability between the products and the tourism market. Another consideration is increasing the quality and diversification of attractions; partnerships between tourism actors in peripheral areas with tourism centers; and attracting local and domestic tourists.
Assessing the Environmental Impacts of Agricultural Policies
Authors: Henderson Benjamin , Lankoski Jussi 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThis study investigates the potential impacts of a range of specific support measures on the environment, using farm and sector‐scale economic models, in a range of country settings. Market price support and payments based on unconstrained variable input use are found to be the most environmentally harmful among the various support policies assessed. In contrast, decoupled support payments based on noncurrent crop area are the least harmful. The impacts of support policies that directly change the competitiveness of one production activity in relation to another, such as payments based on current crop area or on animal numbers, are more equivocal.
Discursive constructions of consumer choice, performance measurement and the marketisation of disability services and aged care in Australia
Authors: O'Keeffe Patrick , David Christina 
Published: October 2020

AbstractWe show how policy discourses construct consumer choice, performance measurement and quality standards as key technologies in the marketisation of disability services and aged care in Australia. The emergence of performance outcome measurement and increased consumer access to these through diverse consumer facing and interactive platforms enables the state to “govern at a distance” through the management and shaping of outcome indicators rather than delivery of services. The state does this by creating market competition and establishing outcomes which reflect the construction people using services as informed and rational consumers rather than citizens. This construction and operationalisation frame marketisation as a rational solution to broken systems, assume choice is unproblematic and ignore diverse capacities to access and use information, resource differentials and contextual variables such as market maturity and service availability. The benign marketisation of human services thus discriminates against those who are already marginalised and disadvantaged unless equity strategies are clearly in place.
Chemoselective C−C σ‐Bond Activation of the Most Stable Ring in Biphenylene**
Authors: Kong Richard Y. , Crimmin Mark R. 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe chemoselective cleavage of a six‐membered aromatic ring in biphenylene is reported using an aluminum(I) complex. This type of selectivity is unprecedented. In every example of transition metal mediated C−C σ‐bond activation reported to date, the reaction occurs at the central four‐membered ring of biphenylene. Insight into the origin of chemoselectivity was obtained through a detailed mechanistic analysis (isolation of an intermediate, DFT studies, activation strain analysis). In conclusion, the divergent reactivity can be attributed to differences in both the symmetry and radial extension of the frontier molecular orbitals of the aluminum(I) fragment compared to that of common transition metal fragments.
Synthesis of a Sidewall Fragment of a (12,0) Carbon Nanotube
Authors: Han Yi , Dong Shaoqiang , Shao Jiawei , Fan Wei , Chi Chunyan 
Published: October 2020

AbstractSynthesis of a carbon nanobelt (CNB) is a very challenging task in organic chemistry. Herein, we report the successful synthesis of an octabenzo[12]cyclacene based CNB (6), which can be regarded as a sidewall fragment of a (12,0) carbon nanotube. The key intermediate compound, a tetraepoxy nanobelt (5), was first synthesized by Diels–Alder reaction, and subsequent reductive aromatization gave the fully conjugated CNB 6. X‐ray crystallographic analysis unambiguously confirmed the belt‐shaped structure of 6. 1H NMR spectrum and theoretical calculations (ACID, NICS, and 2D/3D ICSS) revealed localized aromaticity and stronger shielding chemical environment in the inner region of the belt. The optical properties (absorption and emission) of 6 were studied and correlated to its electronic structure. Strain analysis indicates that the phenyl substituents at the zigzag edges are crucial to the successful synthesis of 6. This report presents a new strategy towards highly strained CNBs.

Published: October 2020

AbstractThe effect of three different types of cellulose nanofillers on the morphology, mechanical, and thermal properties of flexible polyurethane foam was studied. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), and cellulose filaments (CelFil) were used as fillers at 0.1–0.8 wt% loading levels. The comparison of the results showed that smaller loading levels resulted in foams with better performance in almost all cases. In the next step, the properties of foams containing CNC, CNF, or CelFil at 0.025%–0.1% loading levels were compared with those made with inorganic nanofillers including nanosilica (nSi), reduced graphene oxide, and halloysite nanotubes (HNT). Among all the properties evaluated, the tensile modulus of the foams was improved up to 40% by adding HNT at 0.05 wt% loading level whereas the addition of CNF resulted in a 44% increase in the compressive modulus of the foams at 0.1 wt% loading level.

AbstractThe preparation by electrospraying of a bilayer film formed by a pectin layer (hydrophilic, polar) and a zein layer (hydrophobic, nonpolar), is a difficult task that has not yet been reported. Herein, the feasibility of producing films by electrostatic atomization was studied, as well as the changes in the superficial and physicochemical characteristics of the bilayer film. Results showed that it is possible to produce a flexible and yellow bilayer film (101.07 ± 8.11 μm) with a continuous surface structure and a well‐defined interface, without chemical interactions between both layers nor antimicrobial activity. This study is one of the first to show that the electrospraying technique can be used to generate biodegradable bilayer films using hydrophilic/hydrophobic biopolymer solutions.
Recent developments in phosphate materials for their thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) applications
Authors: Chand Sansar , Mehra Rohit , Chopra Vibha 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe use of phosphate‐based thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) materials in current scenarios is presented here, particularly for the field of low dosimetry. TLD materials are currently researched for their use in for example environmental dosimetry, personal dosimetry, and medical dosimetry. There are several TLD materials available such as: sulphates, borates, fluorides, and sulphides, including some metal oxides and perovskites, which are the most used and have been widely explored. In the present scenario, new interest is being focused on the need for thermoluminescent materials for application in material science and radiation dosimetry for low‐dose dosimetry. These doped TLDs are prepared using different techniques including solid‐state reaction methods, combustion methods, wet chemical methods, and sol gel methods. Therefore, among the above stated TLDs, phosphates have opened a new door in radiation dosimetry, particularly in low‐dose dosimetry over the last few years. This paper mainly deals with a review of various phosphate‐based TLD materials and recent advancements in phosphates for TL dosimetry.
Designing scalable ultrafiltration/diafiltration process of monoclonal antibodies via mathematical modeling by coupling mass balances and Poisson–Boltzmann equation
Authors: Ambrožič Rok , Arzenšek Dejan , Podgornik Aleš 
Published: October 2020

AbstractUltrafiltration/diafiltration (UF/DF) operations are employed for achieving the desired therapeutic monoclonal antibody (mAb) formulations. Due to electrostatic interactions between the charged proteins, solute ions, and uncharged excipients, the final pH and concentration values are not always equal to those in the DF buffer. At high protein concentrations, typical for industrial formulations, this effect becomes predominant. To account for challenges occurring in industrial environments, a robust mathematical framework enabling the prediction of pH and concentration profiles throughout the UF/DF process is provided. The proposed mechanistic model combines a macroscopic mass balance approach with a molecular approach based on a Poisson–Boltzmann equation dealing with electrostatic interactions and accounting for protein exclusion volume effect. The mathematical model was validated with experimental data of two commercially relevant mAbs obtained from an industrial UF/DF process using scalable laboratory equipment. The robustness and flexibility of the model were tested by using proteins with different isoelectric points and net charges. The latter was determined via a titration curve, enabling realistic protein charge‐pH evaluation. In addition, the model was tested for different DF buffer types containing both monovalent and polyvalent ions, with various types of uncharged excipients. The model generality enables its implementation for the UF/DF processes of other protein varieties.
Systematic identification of safe harbor regions in the CHO genome through a comprehensive epigenome analysis
Authors: Hilliard William , Lee Kelvin H. 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines that are used to produce commercial quantities of therapeutic proteins commonly exhibit a decrease in productivity over time in culture, a phenomenon termed production instability. Random integration of the transgenes encoding the protein of interest into locations in the CHO genome that are vulnerable to genetic and epigenetic instability often causes production instability through copy number loss and silencing of expression. Several recent publications have shown that these cell line development challenges can be overcome by using site‐specific integration (SSI) technology to insert the transgenes at genomic loci, often called “hotspots,” that are transcriptionally permissive and have enhanced stability relative to the rest of the genome. However, extensive characterization of the CHO epigenome is needed to identify hotspots that maintain their desirable epigenetic properties in an industrial bioprocess environment and maximize transcription from a single integrated transgene copy. To this end, the epigenomes and transcriptomes of two distantly related cell lines, an industrially relevant monoclonal antibody‐producing cell line and its parental CHO‐K1 host, were characterized using high throughput chromosome conformation capture and RNAseq to analyze changes in the epigenome that occur during cell line development and associated changes in system‐wide gene expression. In total, 10.9% of the CHO genome contained transcriptionally permissive three‐dimensional chromatin structures with enhanced genetic and epigenetic stability relative to the rest of the genome. These safe harbor regions also showed good agreement with published CHO epigenome data, demonstrating that this method was suitable for finding genomic regions with epigenetic markers of active and stable gene expression. These regions significantly reduce the genomic search space when looking for CHO hotspots with widespread applicability and can guide future studies with the goal of maximizing the potential of SSI technology in industrial production CHO cell lines.
