Collaborative Authorship and Postmigration in Jonas Hassen Khemiri’s Novel Montecore
Authors: Ciaravolo Massimo 
Published: October 2021

Abstract

Montecore. En unik tiger (2006) stages its own making through the joint authorship of Kadir, a friend of Abbas’, and Jonas, a young writer and Abbas’ son. Their collaboration aims at a novel about Abbas, who migrated from Tunisia to Sweden, now a missing person. The interpretation of his life proves to be a conflicting ground for the co-authors because of their generational differences. This article proposes an analysis of Montecore building upon the notion of collaborative or multiple authorship (Stillinger 1991; Love 2002), and upon the discussion in Scandinavia and in Germany on contemporary migration and postmigration literature. Through a metafictional collaborative authorship – a so far neglected dimension in the study of Montecore – Jonas Hassen Khemiri depicts a young author’s ambivalent feelings towards his father and his story. Abbas has vanished from the family, but his special gift to Jonas, through Kadir’s mediation, deals with a linguistic talent that defies the rules of Swedish, showing the power of language to invent, and to imagine a different and less oppressive order.
Procliticization as a residual of second positioning: evidence from West Iranian languages
Authors: Mohammadirad Masoud , Samvelian Pollet 
Published: October 2021

AbstractPerson clitics show proclitic attachment in some West Iranian languages. Nevertheless, most of the literature has continued to focus on enclitics. This paper provides evidence that a good number of modern languages have developed proclitics, presumably from the middle Iranian period onward. Using synchronic data from modern languages gathered in the field, and contrasting it with the Middle Iranian period and current clausal second-position clitic systems, we develop some hypotheses regarding the rise of proclitics in modern languages. We argue that proclitic attachment has resulted from the reanalysis and/or the loss of clause-initial clitic hosting particles of the Middle Iranian period, and the actualization of the stray clitic as a proclitic on some host to the right. This trajectory from second position enclitics to proclitics, which is also attested in Old Romance and Uto-Aztecan, is argued to have been triggered by head attraction and rightward drift of clitics from clause-second position toward the verb in modern languages, giving rise to VP-based and Verb-based cliticization systems.
Dative experiencers with nominal predicates in Romanian: a synchronic and diachronic study
Authors: Ilioaia Mihaela , Van Peteghem Marleen 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis article investigates the evolution of the Romanian pattern [dative clitic + ‘be’ + N] (cf.Mi-e foame, lit. me.dat=is hunger, ‘I’m hungry’) from the 16th century until present-day Romanian. This pattern traces back to the Latinmihi estconstruction (lit. me.datis), but is semantically more restricted than its Latin ancestor in that it can only express a physiological or psychological state. The aim of our study is to examine to what extent the dative experiencer behaves like a subject and the noun denoting a state like a predicate. We argue that, although certain subject diagnostics raise problems in Romanian, due to the obligatoriness of clitics and the scarcity of controlled infinitives, this pattern is clearly an instance of non-canonical subject marking with quirky dative case. The tendency toward expansion of this construction in present-day Romanian contradicts the hypothesis proposed in language typology according to which non-canonical subject marking tends to recede in favor of canonical marking in European languages.
Static locative expressions in Amharic
Authors: Asaye Gashaw Arutie 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis paper describes the semantics of static locative expressions in Amharic, particularly the variety spoken in Godʒdʒam. The analysis shows that the semantic category of a site subsumed under Path is exclusively expressed by an adposition. The adpositions can be specific and general locatives. The specific locatives show a specific type of topological relation (for instance, verticality as intatʃtʃ‘below, under,’ horizontality as infit‘front,’ containment as inwɨst’‘in’) between figure and ground entities, but not the general locatives. Besides, static positional verbs encode the conflation of the fact of locatedness with a manner of the positioning of a figure. Based on Talmy’s Motion event typology, the present study has identified that Amharic uses a satellite-framed pattern in static locative constructions exclusively. Moreover, based on Ameka & Levinson’s typology of locative predication, Amharic can be classified under type Ia where a language uses a dummy verb in basic locative construction.

Abstract

Objectives
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is rapidly spreading globally. Early diagnosis plays an essential role in controlling the infection. Therefore, early and accurate SARS-CoV-2 detection assays along with easy operation are required. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical performance of the Ampdirect™ 2019-nCoV Detection Kit (SHIMADZU assay), which does not require RNA purification steps, with that of the preexisting SARS-CoV-2 detection assays, which use a purified RNA template.

Methods
A total of 71 samples (65 nasopharyngeal specimens and 6 sputum specimens) were collected from 32 individuals, including patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and those with suspected infection. The sensitivity and kappa (κ) coefficient were assessed between the SARS-CoV-2 detection assays using the reference standard, which was defined as a true positive result by any one of the four SARS-CoV-2 detection assays.

Results
The overall sensitivity and κ coefficient of the SHIMADZU assay were 86.0% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 77.9–94.2) and 0.83 (95% CI: 0.69–0.96), respectively. In particular, among the 18 samples collected within 10 days from symptom onset, the sensitivity and κ coefficient of the SHIMADZU assay were 100% and 1.0, respectively.

Conclusions
Although a relatively small number of samples was evaluated, the SHIMADZU assay showed good analytical performance and as such would be highly useful for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. The test can be performed easily and quickly and has the potential for future applications in situations where a highly sensitive diagnosis is required.
Why hemolysis detection should be an integral part of any near-patient blood gas analysis
Authors: Möckel Martin , Luppa Peter B. 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Blood gas analysis at or near the patient’s bedside is a common practice in acute medicine and plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of patient’s respiratory status, metabolites, electrolytes, co-oximetry and acid–base balance. Pre-analytical quality aspects of the specimens are getting more and more attention, including the presence of potential interferences. Central laboratories have implemented technologies to detect interferences such as hemolysis, lipidemia or hyperbilirubinemia in blood samples to ensure the highest possible quality in results provided to routine care. However, systematic detection for interference due to hemolysis is currently not in place for blood gas analysis at the point-of-care (POC). To apply hemolysis detection solutions at the central laboratory, but not at the POC for blood gas analysis, is a clear contradiction when novel hemolysis detecting technologies are available. The introduction of a system that systematically detects hemolysis in connection to POC blood gas analysis would be imperative to patient safety and costs associated with potential clinical malpractice (leading to wrong, missing and/or delayed treatment) and would also ensure better compliance to CLSI guidelines and ISO standards, and be beneficial for patient and staff.

Published: October 2021

Abstract

Objectives
The aim of this study is to investigate the status of laboratory practice of organic acid (OA) analysis using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry in China.

Methods
A survey, investigating details of laboratory practice of OA analysis, was issued on the website of the National Center for Clinical Laboratories of China. Nationwide external quality assessment participating laboratories of OA assay were informed to participate in this survey.

Results
A total of 36 laboratories completed this survey. Most laboratories started OA analysis during 2016–2020. Most (100%) labs reported semi-quantitative results, in which 79.4% of labs adopted the form of the ratio of peak area of OA and quantitative internal standard. Rare labs reported quantitative results. Few labs released reports in three days, most in 5–7 days. The source of control materials varied, 64.5% of labs adapted self-made materials. A total of 43.8% of laboratories directly used reference intervals (RIs) from published literature, 43.8% of laboratories established RIs themselves, but 21.2% of laboratories reported they didn’t verify RIs.

Conclusions
Appropriate supervision for the organic acid assay is needed in the aspect of the turnaround time of reporting results, the establishment validation and verification of reference ranges, and the quantification of results.
Microstructural Examinations of Copper Antimony Alloys
Authors: Haubner R. , Strobl S. 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Among other materials, fahlores were used in the Bronze Age copper ore smelting process. These contain, apart from sulfur, arsenic and antimony. Therefore, these elements can be found in Bronze Age copper casting ingots or artifacts. In order to study the behavior of Sb more closely, two copper alloys containing 10 and 30 wt. % Sb were melted and subjected to a metallographic examination.
On the one hand, microstructures with copper dendrites and homogeneous interdendritic areas primarily composed of intermetallic phase could be found. On the other hand, at higher Sb concentrations, first Cu3Sb precipitated which, in turn, transformed to Cu10Sb3 upon cooling. The crystals in these microstructures were characterized by numerous parallel cracks. No further phases were observed by XRD.
The Political Economy of Sectoral Credit Provisioning in India: An Empirical Analysis
Authors: Kohli Deepti 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Electoral dynamics is believed to have a direct bearing on the scope of governmental control over the supply of credit to different economic sectors. This paper attempts to examine the impact of opportunistic electoral manipulations, ideological beliefs and political lobbying on the supply of agricultural and industrial credit across the Indian states. The findings indicate that more competitive elections are associated with increases in credit provision. An incumbent party with a more liberal ideology is found to provide greater average credit to agriculture relative to industry. Finally, an increase in the political contributions provided to an incumbent state government is found to entail greater industrial credit and lower agricultural credit, on an average.
Wozu Postkolonialismus, Diskurstheorie und Religionsästhetik?
Authors: Laack Isabel 
Published: October 2021

ZusammenfassungIn der Debatte um die Integrität der Religionswissenschaft verteidigen einige Autoren angesichts der Dominanz metatheoretischer Reflexionen und diskursanalytischer Genealogien des Religionsbegriffs die außereuropäische Religionsgeschichte als Kerngeschäft der Disziplin. Statt die Bedeutung der Religionsgeschichte für die Theoriebildung hervorzuheben, stellt der Artikel die umgekehrte Frage: Welchen Nutzen haben neuere theoretische Ansätze wie Postkolonialismus, Diskurstheorie und Religionsästhetik für die konkrete religionshistorische Arbeit? Der aus diesen Ansätzen resultierende Perspektivwechsel wird am Beispiel aztekischer Göttervorstellungen diskutiert, konkret an León-Portillas dominanter Rekonstruktion eines aztekischen philosophischen Monotheismus. Seine Interpretation wird postkolonial und diskursiv dekonstruiert und eine religionsästhetisch inspirierte Neuinterpretation eines Teilaspekts, dem GöttertitelYohualli Ehecatl, vorgeschlagen.
Trying to Sell Ketchup in a Salsa Bottle
Authors: Enríquez Mirasol 
Published: October 2021

Conceptualized as a comedy that would explore culturally specific experiences of three Latina characters, the screenplay Papi Chulo underwent a tumultuous development process before becoming what audiences know as Chasing Papi (2003). Midway through development, changes in studio management led to significant changes in their approach to the project. Rather than depict cultural nuances of the U.S. Latina/o experience, an unusually large number of writers transformed the script to appeal to a panethnic form of Latina/o identity and a broader audience.
Marketed as “the first major studio comedy to reflect the Hispanic cultural experience in America,” the film’s credits include writer/producer Laura Angélica Simón, director Linda Mendoza, and associate producer Christy Haubegger. The film was a critical and financial disappointment, and this study illustrates the detrimental effects studio regime changes can have on the creative process, and the negative effects misunderstanding film authorship can have for Latina/os in the industry.

Low cycle fatigue behavior of circumferentially notched specimens made of modified 9Cr–1Mo steel at elevated temperature

Published: October 2021

Abstract
During service, notched designed components such as steam generators in the nuclear power plant usually experience fatigue damage at elevated temperatures, due to the repeated cyclic loadings during start-up and shut-down operations. Under such extreme conditions, the durability of these components is highly-affected. Besides, to assess the fatigue life of these components, a reliable determination of the local stress-strain at the notch-tips is needed. In this work, the maximum strains of circumferentially notched cylindrical specimens were calculated using the most commonly known analytical methods, namely Neuber's rule, modified Neuber's rule, Glinka's rule, and linear rule, with notch root radius of 1.25, 2.5, and 5 mm, made of modified 9Cr–1Mo steel at 550 °C, and subjected to nominal stress amplitudes of ±124.95, ±149.95, and ±174.95 MPa. The calculated local strains were compared to those obtained from Finite Element Analysis (FEA). It was found that all the analytical approximations provided unreliable local strains at the notch-tips, resulting in an overestimation or underestimation of the fatigue life. Therefore, a mathematical model that predicts the fatigue lives for 9Cr–1Mo steel at elevated temperature was proposed in terms of the applied stress amplitude and the fatigue stress concentration factor. The calculated fatigue lifetimes using the proposed model are found to be in good agreement with those obtained experimentally from the literature with relative errors, when the applied stress amplitude is ±149.95 MPa, are of 1.97%,–8.67%, and 13.54%, for notch root radii of 1.25, 2.5, and 5 mm, respectively.
Prediction of the epichlorohydrin derived cytotoxic substances from the eluent of poly(glycerol glycidyl ether) films

AbstractGlycerol-based epoxy networks have great potential for surface functionalization, providing anti-microbial and protein repellant function. However, the synthesis of glycerol glycidyl ether (GGE) monomer often requires excessive epichlorohydrin (ECH). ECH derived organochloride containing byproducts from monomer production maybe present in the eluent of the polymer networks prepared by cationic ring-opening polymerization. Here, the cytotoxicity analysis revealed cell damages in contact with the polyGGE eluent. The occurrence of organochlorides, which was predicted based on the data from high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, as confirmed by a constant chloride level in GGE and polyGGE, and by a specific peak of C–Cl in infrared spectra of GGE. The resulting polyGGE was densely crosslinked, which possibly contribute to the trapping of organochlorides. These results provide a valuable information for exploring the toxins leaching from polyGGE and propose a feasible strategy for minimizing the cytotoxicity via reducing their crosslink density.Graphic abstractThe eluent of poly(glycerol glycidyl ether) (polyGGE) films impaired the viability and metabolic activity of L-929 cells due to the organochloride byproducts or epichlorohydrin precursors originating from the GGE monomer, which was predicted based on the data from high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC–ESI–MS) and confirmed by chloride content analysis and attenuated total reflection fourier transform infrared (ATR-FT-IR) spectroscopy.

Published: October 2021

Introduction. Cardiovascular events at a young age are often the first manifestation of a genetic disorder such as familial hypercholesterolemia. High cholesterol levels, xanthomas and xanthelasmas, as well as a positive family history of cardiovascular disease, make it possible to identify a group of patients subject to genetic research. The identification of a specific mutation helps to determine further strategy not only for a patient, but also to his or her immediate relatives, thereby effectively conducting both secondary and primary prevention of atherosclerosis complications.Brief description. Using the example of patients from the Krasnodar Lipid Center, the relevance of genetic testing and cascade screening is demonstrated. We show problems of delayed diagnosis and low medical adherence, as well as the ways to optimize care for patients with genetic lipid metabolism disorders.Discussion. The rise in the incidence of cardiovascular events at a young age in developed countries prompts the search for more improved screening and diagnostic methods for familial hypercholesterolemia. The optimal age of initiation of lipid-lowering therapy in children with established familial hypercholesterolemia is also discussed. While secondary prevention appears to be clearer, there is still insufficient achievement of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol targets in patients with a previous cardiovascular event.
Labor migration in Russia during the coronavirus pandemic
Authors: Denisenko Mikhail , Mukomel Vladimir 
Published: October 2021

The introduction of quarantine measures in connection with the coronavirus pandemic was accompanied by the blocking of cross-border communications and the restriction of the activities of enterprises in most sectors of the economy. Labor migrants and members of their families staying on the territory of Russia found themselves in a difficult situation. The decline in employment, primarily in those areas where migrants work, has made foreign citizens one of the most vulnerable social groups. The first layer of issues considered in the article is associated with an assessment of the situation in which migrants have found themselves in Russia. In what types of economic activity has the decline in employment become particularly painful for migrants? What is their financial situation? To what extent are they ready to leave Russia if transport communications are restored? What are their immediate and long-term plans related to work and life in Russia? The second focus of the study is on potential migrants who were unable to enter Russia after the severance of international transport links. What is their economic situation at home? How quickly are they going to leave for Russia if restrictions on international travel are lifted? What are their short-term and long-term plans related to their stay in Russia? This article is devoted to finding answers to these questions, based on an online survey of 2,695 foreign citizens (including 1,304 migrants located in Russia and 1,391 abroad), as well as a telephone survey of 300 labor migrants in the Moscow metropolis conducted in the first half of June 2020.

Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevailing thyroid cancer but remains of a favorable prognosis. Thyroidectomy with excision of all positive cervical nodes remains the cornerstone of the management PTC. The role for prophylactic central neck dissection (PCND) remains controversial. Methods: A prospective non randomised open label study of 20 PTC patients, 8 of them underwent total thyroidectomy with PCND and 12 underwent total thyroidectomy with modified radical neck dissection type III in El Zahraa hospital, Azhar university, and Damanhour oncology center, Egypt starting from September 2019 to August 2021. The incidence of central lymph node metastasis in N0 cases underwent PCND were reported, the relationship between lymph node metastasis with lympho-vascular permeation and capsular invasion, were analysed and sensitivity of fine needle aspiration cytology in diagnosis of PTC was reported.Results: Occult central lymph node metastasis was observed in 62.5% of PTC lesions. The FNAC showed a sensitivity of 85%. Lympho-vascular permeation and capsular invasion showed a sensitivity of 94.12% and 58.82%, respectively for lymph nodes metastasis. Thyroiditis is detected in 50% of cases with PTC. Postoperative ablative dose of radioactive iodine 131 (RAI-131) ranged from 80 to 100 millicurie.Conclusions: R0 resection is mandatory to cure PTC. PCND remains a debatable issue, that needs a large multicentre study with large sample of patients with long term follow up to ascertain the efficacy of PCND in reducing rate of local recurrence, morbidity and mortality.
