Herabsetzung, Selbstwertgefühl und Hass
Authors: Ferran Íngrid Vendrell 
Published: June 2021

AbstractThis paper examines the dynamic of belittlement and self-affirmation that is characteristic of hate. It argues that in hate we respond to a belittlement of our feeling of self-worth with an extreme form of self-affirmation which consists in regarding the other as evil and as deserving of being annihilated. Analyzing the origins and causes of hate, I develop a taxonomy of its main forms and distinguish between retributive, normative, malicious, and ideological hate. I show that all forms of hate aim at increasing our feeling of self-worth. This common aim, however, is not always achieved: while retributive and normative hate can lead to an enhancement of one’s feeling of self-worth, in malicious and ideological hate such enhancement remains illusory and subject to self-deception. Finally, I argue that hate can never be morally justified.
Hass und die negative Dialektik affektiver Herabsetzung
Authors: Szanto Thomas 
Published: June 2021

AbstractIn the past few years, social and cultural theorists have pointed to the dynamic and performative character of forms of disparagement such as public shaming, humiliation, invective or hate speech. In this paper, I endorse a different route and focus on the distinctive affective and dialectical nature of what might be called the ‘politics of disparagement’. I will do so by elaborating on the affective intentionality of hatred, which can be seen as an affective attitude that paradigmatically encapsulates the dialectical antagonism at play in the politics of disparagement. I argue that the affective intentionality of hatred is distinctive in three interrelated ways: First, it has an overgeneralising, indeterminate affective focus, which typically leads to a certain collectivisation of its target. Secondly, short of a determinate affective focus, haters derive the indeed extreme affective powers of the attitude not in reaction to any specific features or actions of the targets or from some phenomenological properties of the attitude but, rather, from the sheer commitment to the attitude itself. Finally, in sharing this commitment to hate with others, hatred involves a certain negative dialectics and becomes entrenched as a shared habitus. Ultimately, I suggest that we can only counteract the politics of disparagement if we understand how a shared commitment to disparagement and hatred establishes its own normative logic, which not only concerns their victims but also, dialectically, sanctions their enactors.
Shunning Banks or Depending on Them? Crypto Markets and the Rise of Crypto-Friendly Banking
Authors: Athanassiou Phoebus L. 
Published: June 2021

Abstract

Often touted as the opposite of money and banks, crypto-assets and their ecosystem may gradually be coming to terms with the idea that their success will also depend on their issuers’ readiness to adhere to conventional financial practices, on their acceptance of the preponderant role that banks have to play in the financial system, and on their ability to access basic banking services. Some within the banking community are starting to reciprocate the attention, by positioning themselves so as to serve the needs of crypto assets and their ecosystem, as a promising source of revenue at a challenging time for bank profitability. No less important for the emergence of crypto-friendly banks than the risk appetite of existing or new banking service providers is the regulators’, supervisors’ and policy makers’ stance vis-à-vis crypto-friendly banking. This paper explores the relationship of dependency between crypto and banks, how some banks around the world are facing up to the challenge of serving crypto-assets and their holders, and how policy makers, regulators and supervisors in Europe and elsewhere may want to position themselves vis-à-vis the incipient phenomenon of crypto-friendly banking.
The Recognition and Enforcement of UK Insolvency Proceedings in Spain After a Hard-Brexit. Special Reference to Schemes of Arrangement
Authors: Flores Marta 
Published: June 2021

Abstract

After Brexit, the United Kingdom will become a third State to all effects. As far as insolvency is related, this will imply substantial changes regarding the recognition and enforcement of the UK insolvency proceedings. This paper purports to analyze the consequences a Hard-Brexit will have on insolvency-related matters, by describing the effects that should be expected with regard to the recognition in Spain of each of the proceedings that the UK legislation foresees for financially distressed debtors, namely administration, winding-up, voluntary agreements, bankruptcy and schemes of arrangement (which are dealt with separately due to their hybrid nature).
Behavioural Economic Influences on Primary Market Disclosure – The Case of the EU Regulation on European Crowdfunding Service Providers
Authors: Serdaris Konstantinos 
Published: June 2021

Abstract

On 5 October 2020, as part of the Capital Markets Union (CMU) project, the European Parliament adopted, in second reading, Regulation (EU) 2020/1503 on European crowdfunding service providers for business (‘ECSP Regulation’). This Regulation, which shall apply as of 10 November 2021, consists of rules which aim at improving access to crowdfunding for EU businesses in need of capital, particularly start-ups, while, at the same time, providing a high level of protection to investors. To attain that it builds on three sets of measures: clear rules on information disclosures for project owners and crowdfunding platforms; rules on platform governance and risk management; and a coherent approach to supervision and enforcement. The focus of this article is on the disclosure-related set of provisions. Its aim is to demonstrate how the new rules embrace a more behavioural approach to primary market disclosure which, in contrast to the paradigm of full disclosure, focuses on the content, quality and framing of disclosure as an alternative means of enabling informed and, thus, allocatively efficient investment decisions. In a second step, it seeks to provide a preliminary evaluation of these measures both from a practical and a normative perspective.
Chemokine receptor antagonists with α1-adrenergic receptor blocker activity
Authors: DeSantis Anthony J. , Enten Garrett A. , Gao Xianlong , Majetschak Matthias 
Published: June 2021

Abstract

Objectives
Chemokine receptor antagonists are being explored for their therapeutic potential in various disease processes. As the chemokine (C–C motif) receptor 2 (CCR2) antagonist RS504393 is known to compete with ligand binding to α1-adrenoceptors, we tested a panel of 10 CCR antagonists for interactions with α1-adrenoceptors to evaluate potential cardiovascular activities and side-effect profiles.

Methods
The PRESTO-Tango β-arrestin recruitment assay was utilized to test whether the CCR antagonists interfere with α1b-AR activation upon stimulation with phenylephrine. Pressure myography with isolated rat resistance arteries was employed to assess their effects on phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction. The following antagonists were tested: CCR1–BX471, BX513, BI639667; CCR2–RS504393, INCB3284; CCR3–SB328437; and CCR4–AZD2098, and C021; CCR5–Maraviroc; CCR10-BI6901. The pan-α1-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin was used as control.

Results
Among the CCR antagonists tested, RS504393, BX513, and C021 inhibited phenylephrine-induced β-arrestin recruitment to α1b-adrenoceptor and phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction. While RS504393 functioned as a competitive α1-adrenoceptor blocker, BX513 and C021 functioned as noncompetitive α1-adrenoceptor antagonists in both assay systems. Furthermore, RS504393, BX513, and C021 dose-dependently dilated arteries that were fully preconstricted with phenylephrine.

Conclusions
Our data suggest that CCR antagonists should be screened for cross-reactivity with α1-adrenoceptors to exclude potential adverse cardiovascular effects when used as anti inflammatory drugs.

Operationalisierung der Topik als kombinatorische Heuristik: Ein philologisches Modell für die Analyse argumentativer Muster
Authors: Hinzmann Maria 
Published: June 2021

AbstractDer Beitrag skizziert ein Modell zur Analyse von Argumentationsmustern, das bisher unnötig getrennt laufende sprach- und literaturwissenschaftliche Perspektiven miteinander verknüpft. Jenseits der Dichotomisierung von ‚formaler‘ und ‚materialer Topik‘ besteht ein entscheidender Schritt darin, den kombinatorischen Charakter von Topoi als eine zentrale Funktionsweise zu begreifen. Aspekte einer solchen Modellierung werden ins Verhältnis zu method(olog)isch angrenzenden Heuristiken gesetzt, um sowohl die Anschlussfähigkeit als auch das spezifische Potential dieses Ansatzes zu präzisieren.
Ambiguität und Figurenkommunikation in spätmittelalterlichen Versschwänken
Authors: Moshövel Andrea 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Mithilfe von Ansätzen aus der Gesprächsforschung und Sprachstadienwörterbüchern als Referenzkorpora wird die kontextspezifische Bedeutungskonstitution von Schlüsselwörtern anhand von zwei Fallbeispielen interaktiver Figurenkommunikation in spätmittelalterlichen Versschwänken untersucht, deren Komik auf lexikalischer Ambiguität basiert. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Verfasser der Texte nicht nur souverän über Wörter und ihre unterschiedlichen Semantiken verfügen, sondern mit den Wörtern zugleich die Diskurse reflektieren, durch die Wortbedeutungen hervorgebracht werden.
Malefiz, Missetat und Sünde
Authors: Aehnlich Barbara , Seidel Henry 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Für die rechtswidrige Handlung, insbesondere die Straftat, gab es im älteren deutschen Recht keine einheitliche und allgemein anerkannte Terminologie. Vielmehr gab es konkurrierende und sich ablösende Fachtermini. Der vorliegende Aufsatz gibt einen Überblick über das Wortfeld der Verbrechen in zwei der bekanntesten Rechtsbücher der Frühen Neuzeit, die zur praktischen Anwendung für Laienjuristen gedacht waren, dem Laienspiegel Ulrich Tenglers und dem Klagspiegel Conrad Heydens. Zu diesem Zweck werden die Termini für Verbrechen und Straftaten einer systematischen Auswertung unterzogen.

AbstractDiese Untersuchung beschäftigt sich mit den Regierungserklärungen, in denen um die Ratifizierung von EU-Verträgen in Deutschland zwischen 1951 und 2009 geworben wird. Ausgehend von der Annahme, dass in den Regierungserklärungen Vertrauen gegenüber der Europapolitik der Bundesregierung und den Vertragsentwürfen sprachlich konstruiert wird, werden vor dem Hintergrund der diskurslinguistischen Vertrauensforschung Argumentationsmuster, mit denen für die Ratifizierung des Vertrags argumentiert wird sowie argumentative Kontinuitäten und Veränderungen im Verlauf der Untersuchungszeit analysiert.
Rapid molecular diagnosis of ALB gene variants prevents unnecessary interventions in familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia
Authors: Abali Saygin , Yavas Abali Zehra , Yararbas Kanay , Semiz Serap 
Published: June 2021

Abstract

Objectives
Familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH) is an autosomal dominant condition caused by heterozygous gain-of-function mutations in the human ALB gene.

Case presentation
We report, a three-year-old boy with FDH due to p.R242P (or p.R218P without signal peptide) mutation in the ALB gene with a phenotype characterized by extremely high serum total and free thyroxine concentrations. His parents had normal thyroid function tests (TFT), so the mutation detected in this patient is assumed “de novo”. Although the most frequent variant was p.R242H in Caucasians and p.R242P in Japanese, our patient had p.R242P variant.

Conclusions
Early identification of FDH is fundamental to prevent unnecessary repeats of TFT with different methods. We encourage the ALB gene hot spot sequencing initially and indicate that this molecular diagnosis is a rapid and simple method to diagnose FDH in individuals with euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia.
Aluminium nitride integrated photonics: a review

Published: June 2021

Abstract
Integrated photonics based on silicon has drawn a lot of interests, since it is able to provide compact solution for functional devices, and its fabrication process is compatible with the mature complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication technology. In the meanwhile, silicon material itself has a few limitations, including an indirect bandgap of 1.1 eV, transparency wavelength of >1.1 μm, and insignificant second-order nonlinear optical property. Aluminum nitride (AlN), as a CMOS-compatible material, can overcome these limitations. It has a wide bandgap of 6.2 eV, a broad transparency window covering from ultraviolet to mid-infrared, and a significant second-order nonlinear optical effect. Furthermore, it also exhibits piezoelectric and pyroelectric effects, which enable it to be utilized for optomechanical devices and pyroelectric photodetectors, respectively. In this review, the recent research works on integrated AlN photonics in the past decade have been summarized. The related material properties of AlN have been covered. After that, the demonstrated functional devices, including linear optical devices, optomechanical devices, emitters, photodetectors, metasurfaces, and nonlinear optical devices, are presented. Last but not the least, the summary and future outlook for the AlN-based integrated photonics are provided.

Authors: Zhang Peng , Wang Jia , Li Qingfu , Wan Jinyi , Ling Yifeng 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
In this study, the effects of steel fibers on the mechanical properties of the geopolymer concrete – compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strength; compressive elastic modulus; and fracture properties – were evaluated. Milling steel fibers were incorporated into the geopolymer concrete, and the volume fraction of the steel fibers was varied from 0 to 2.5%. Fly ash and metakaolin were chosen as the geopolymer precursors. Fracture parameters – critical effective crack length, initial fracture toughness, and unstable fracture toughness – were measured by a three-point bending test. The results indicated that all the mechanical properties of the geopolymer concrete are remarkably improved by the steel fibers with the optimum dosage. When the steel fiber content was under 2%, the cubic and axial compressive strength and the compressive elastic modulus increased. The inclusion of 2% steel fibers enhanced the cubic and axial compressive strength and the compressive elastic modulus by 27.6, 23.7, and 47.7%, respectively. When the steel fiber content exceeded 2%, the cubic and axial compressive strength and the compressive elastic modulus decreased, having values still higher than those of the geopolymer concrete without steel fibers. The splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of the concrete were enhanced with increasing steel fiber content. When the steel fiber content was 2.5%, the increment of the splitting tensile strength was 39.8%, whereas that of the flexural strength was 134.6%. The addition of steel fibers effectively improved the fracture toughness of the geopolymer concrete. With 2.5% steel fibers, the initial fracture toughness had an increase of 27.8%, and the unstable fracture toughness increased by 12.74 times compared to that of the geopolymer concrete without the steel fibers.
Regulated seasonal unit root process
Authors: Eroğlu Burak Alparslan , Pehlivan Ayşe Özgür 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Unfortunately, time series problems do not appear in data singly. We focus on the joint occurrence of nonstationarity, seasonality and bounded data. Seasonal unit root tests and bounded unit root tests already exist in the literature, yet when all these issues are combined their performance needs improvement. That is why we offer a testing procedure for bounded seasonal unit root processes. The combination of these tests is not straightforward as the nonlinearity coming from bounds causes the limiting distribution of the proposed test statistic to be multivariate Brownian motion while the others have univariate distributions. The simulation exercises reveal that the existing tests, which ignores the presence of bounds or seasonality, suffer significant size problems. Our statistic removes the size distortions and also maintain satisfactory power performance.
„Aber langsam habe ich das Gefühl, ich passe wirklich in keine Kategorien“: Auf der Suche nach Resonanz in religiösen und psychotherapeutischen Kontexten und Diskursen
Authors: Keller Barbara 
Published: June 2021

Zusammenfassung
An religiöse Traditionen gebundene und klinische Konzepte werden als kulturell verfügbare Container betrachtet, die individuelles Leid fassen und halten sollen. Für das Verständnis individueller Suchbewegungen in sozialen Kontexten werden konvergierende Begriffe aus unterschiedlichen Forschungsbereichen herangezogen: Resonanz als offenes, Disziplinen übergreifendes Konzept, das Veränderungspotenziale und –prozesse in und zwischen Personen und Umwelten in den Blick nimmt, Mentalisierung als klinisches Konzept, das, Kognitionspsychologie, Bindungstheorie und Psychoanalyse verbindend, die Entwicklung der Wahrnehmung eigenen und anderen, fremden, Innenlebens beschreibt, externale Kohärenz als Abstimmung von Erfahrung mit kulturell verfügbaren Konzepten. Anhand einer Fallstudie aus der laufenden religionspsychologischen Langzeituntersuchung „Faith Development revisited: Longitudinal crosscultural and multimethod research on the development of religious styles“ wird gezeigt, wie religiöse und psychotherapeutische Angebote und Diskurse sowie (sub-)kulturelle Szenen als Resonanzsysteme zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten im Leben genutzt werden. Die wiederholte Befragung erlaubt das Vergleichen von konsekutiven Lebensrückblicken im Sinne doppelter Diachronizität: Auf Veränderungen über die Zeit wird zum einen in einem jeweiligen Interview zurück geschaut, zum anderen erfahren Rückblicke selbst Veränderungen. Schließlich werden Veränderungen der Inanspruchnahme kultureller Container hinsichtlich ihrer Bedeutung für Seelsorge im weitesten Sinne diskutiert.
