Discourse MarkerNa(那) as an Interpersonal-Level Compensatory Strategy in Clinical Interviews
Authors: Li Xinfang , Ran Yongping 
Published: February 2021

AbstractDiscourse markers (DMs) are characterized by multifunctionality in different contexts. This study addressed the use of the Chinese DM,na(那), as a solution to topical divergence, during clinical interactions with right-hemisphere-damaged (RHD) patients. Drawing on data collected from clinical interviews between psychotherapists and RHD patients, this study examined the functions ofnain response to RHD topical divergence, focusing on the topic and attitudinal aspects. It was found thatnawas mainly employed by psychotherapists to mark a reproffer of interview topics (i. e., an attempt to return to earlier topics), and a display of disalignment and disaffiliation with RHD topical divergence. These functions ofnareflect the psychotherapists’ attempts to overcome communicative problems arising from RHD topical divergence, so as to ensure the achievement of the communicative goal. Thus,nacan be interpreted as a compensatory strategy for dealing with RHD topical divergence on an interpersonal level. These findings not only expand our knowledge about the function spectrum ofna, but also offer insights for RHD patients’ interlocutors to enhance conversational communication with RHD patients via the compensatory strategy.

: A survey of attitudes towards multilingualism in German integration courses for adult migrants
Authors: Triulzi Marco , Maahs Ina-Maria 
Published: February 2021

Abstract

Integration courses in Germany started in 2005 as a consequence of the newly promulgated immigration law, the so-called Zuwanderungsgesetz, a set of laws that restructured the 2005 legislation on foreigners in the Federal Republic of Germany with the first version of the Residence Act and the Freedom of Movement Act. Since then, although these laws have experienced changes in structure and audience, what has not changed is the presence of multilingual competences in classrooms in German as the norm. The mere presence of multilingualism in the courses does not automatically equal multilingual pedagogy. In this article, we present a quantitative study participants concerning the attitudes towards multilingualism and multilingual pedagogy of teachers in courses of German as a Second Language. The results indicate that one third of the participants present a consistent and marked “monolingual habitus” (Gogolin 1994; 1997), possibly influencing how open they are to including multilingual practices in their teaching. The remaining two thirds indicate openness to a multilingual orientation, but still engage in predominantly monolingual teaching practices: a contradicting stance in need of further investigation.
Scheine drucken, Schätze evakuieren. Kontingenzbewältigung in Russland angesichts der Bedrohung St. Petersburgs 1812
Authors: Wagner Martin , Conrad Benjamin 
Published: February 2021

Zusammenfassung
Im Sommer 1812 sah das Russische Reich einer militärischen wie finanziellen Katastrophe entgegen. Noch bevor die napoleonische Grande Armée russisches Territorium betrat, hatte sich das Russische Imperium, erschüttert durch vergangene Kriege, in einer tiefen Schuldenkrise befunden. Mit dem Vormarsch der französischen Truppen geriet das Zarenreich zudem an den Rand der militärischen Niederlage. Russland stand einer doppelten Krise gegenüber – dem drohenden Staatsbankrott wie der erwarteten Eroberung seiner Hauptstadt. Denn anders als die Meistererzählung jüngerer Darstellungen nahelegt, gingen Zar Alexander I. und seine Berater davon aus, Napoleon werde St. Petersburg – und nicht etwa Moskau – angreifen und erobern können. Wie bewältige Zar Alexander I. die Kontingenz der Krise? Der Ungewissheit über den Fortgang des Krieges und der Unsicherheit seiner finanziellen Verteidigungsressourcen, zweier ineinander verschränkter Bedrohungen, begegnete der Zar durch aktives Zukunftshandeln: Binnen weniger Tage verordnete er, Schätze und Geldreserven aus St. Petersburg zu evakuieren und Assignaten in großer Stückzahl zur Kriegsfinanzierung zu drucken. Die Strategien finanzpolitischer und evakuatorischer Prävention lassen erkennen, wie der Zar seinen Staat verstand, wie es seinen Beamten gelang, die Verteidigungs- und Regierungsfähigkeit des Reiches zu wahren und welchen Anteil die zivile Verwaltung daran hatte, die Niederlage Russlands 1812 abzuwenden.

Published: February 2021

Abstract
Flywheel energy storage system as a new energy source is widely studied. This paper establishes a dynamic model of a single disk looseness and rub-impact coupling hitch flywheel energy storage rotor system firstly. Then dynamic differential equations of the system under the condition of nonlinear oil film force of the sliding bearing are given. Runge–Kutta method is used to solve the simplified dimensionless differential equations. The effect of variable parameters such as disk eccentricity, stator stiffness and bearing support mass on the system are analyzed. With the increase of eccentricity, the range of period-three motion is significantly reduced and the range of chaotic motion begins to appear in the bifurcation diagram. Meanwhile, stiffness of the stator and mass of the bearing support have a significant influence on the flywheel energy storage rotor system.
Optimization and Scale-Up of Twin-Screw Reactive Extrusion: The Case of EVA Transesterification
Authors: Berzin F. , David C. , Vergnes B. 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
Despite its complexity, reactive extrusion is continuously developing for the production of new and performing materials. Due to the strong coupling between flow, rheology and chemistry, optimizing this process for a given reaction remains a difficult task. Moreover, the scale-up from the laboratory to the production scale is another crucial question, which cannot be solved by conventional techniques. In this paper, we show how the use of numerical modeling may help answer these complex questions by providing realistic solutions, rapidly and without excessive costs. The example of a transesterification reaction was chosen because this reaction has been carefully characterized in previous studies. The reaction kinetics and the kinetic constants are well known and the modeling of this reactive extrusion process has proved to be realistic and accurate.

The aim of the article is to describe the use and function ofnin all three contexts of noun modification in Siwi and present supplementary data that helps the understanding of the global function of this preposition.
On Fear and Trembling’s Motif of the Promise: Faith, Ethics and the Politics of Tragedy
Authors: Goldman Aaron J. 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This article interrogates the concepts of faith, the ethical, and tragedy in Fear and Trembling by examining Johannes De Silentio’s allusions to heroic characters. I argue that these heroes are emblematic of faith or tragedy through their orientation to a promise in their respective mythic narratives. Abraham’s faith in the covenant with God commits him to the reconcilability of virtue and the good life, while the tragic heroes’ commitments to the ethical reveal their inability to transcend the (tragic) presumption that virtue and the good life are ultimately incommensurable. I conclude by sketching a politics corresponding to De Silentio’s conception of tragedy.
Kierkegaard and Beauvoir: Existential Ethics as a Humanism
Authors: Fox-Muraton Mélissa 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
Simone de Beauvoir’s moral philosophy has received relatively little attention in the scholarly world. This article seeks to bring her Ethics of Ambiguity into dialogue with Søren Kierkegaard’s Works of Love, two works written a century apart, but which both strive to offer a response to challenges concerning the dangers of existential philosophy’s focus on subjectivity. Despite some fundamental differences in orientation, especially with regard to questions of action and social change, Beauvoir and Kierkegaard’s works offer complementary models for understanding how existential ethics can move beyond subjectivist stances and allow for attentiveness to the plurality of concrete, singular others.
Hitchcock Meets Kierkegaard: Selfhood and Gendered Forms of Despair in Vertigo and The Sickness unto Death
Authors: Becker-Lindenthal Hjördis 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
The development of Vertigo’s main characters provides a detailed illustration of the dialectics of despair as analysed in Kierkegaard’s The Sickness unto Death, in particular of the so-called ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ types of failed selfhood. This article shows the relation of selfhood and despair to dizziness both in Kierkegaard’s work and in Hitchcock’s film, and it examines the religious subtext of Vertigo. The dramatis personae of Judy and Scottie are analysed by applying Kierkegaard’s phenomenology of despair. They display a variety of failures to relate to their selves, like unconscious and conscious despair, possibility’s despair, despair over the earthly and despair of the eternal. Moreover, they epitomize the gendered types of despair as depicted in The Sickness unto Death: losing one’s self in relation to someone and obsessively striving for self-assertion at the cost of others.

Published: February 2021

Abstract
In this research, the effect of adding graphene-based aerogel ((G)A) nanoparticles on the tensile and fatigue behavior of the epoxy polymer was investigated. Specimens of nanocomposites were prepared by adding 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, and 2 wt.-% (G)A nanoparticles to the epoxy polymer. Tensile tests revealed that the 0.1 wt.-% graphene-based aerogel/epoxy ((G)A/E) nanocomposites had the highest increase in tensile strength with 19 % growth compared to neat epoxy. Also, the tensile modulus increased by 15 % in the 0.5 wt.-% (G)A/E nanocomposites. A substantial improvement in fatigue life of the epoxy polymer was observed on adding 0.1 wt.-% (G)A nanoparticles. For instance, the fatigue life of (G)A/E nanocomposites improved by 236 % at a maximum stress of 35 MPa compared to the neat epoxy. Fractography in failure analysis of the test samples showed that the placement of (G)A porous nanoparticles on the epoxy polymer with crack twist or crack tilt prevent the formation of large and catastrophic cracks, resulting in delaying the fatigue failure.
Notes on the Phonetics, Phonology and Prosody of the Čakavian Dialect of Susak
Authors: Kapović Mate 
Published: February 2021

Summary
The paper deals with synchrony and diachrony of phonetics, phonology and prosody of the Čakavian dialect of Susak (Croatia) based on the author’s fieldwork in 2018. The data is compared to previous studies of the Susak dialect. The local dialect exhibits a number of interesting phonological features – e. g. a complex (“Tsakavian”) opposition of postalveolars (/č, ž, š/) to dentals/alveolars (/c, z, s/), centralization of short /i/ and /o/ (in connection to vowel quantity opposition), complex allophonic realizations of the diphthong /i̯e/, etc. – which may be interesting from the perspective of wider phonological theory.

Published: February 2021

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine on the ultrastructural alterations in endothelial cells of liver sinusoidal capillaries (SC) and primary hemostasis in the acute phase of traumatic brain injury (TBI).Materials and methods. Ultrastructural endothelial cell changes were studied in 36 female outbred rats in the acute phase of TBI using electron microscopy, and the platelet count was determined using a blood analyzer. The experimental group (n=18) animals received intraperitoneal injections of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine at the dose of 8.0 mg/kg per day for 12 days, and the control group (n=18) rats were administered with normal saline solution at the same dose.Results. Administration of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine in the early post TBI period reduced microvilli damage in endothelial, hepatic and stellate cells in the Disse space, whereas in the control group a significant decrease of these cells counts was detected. In contrast to the control group, the experimental group animals did not demonstrate thrombocytopenia on the days 1, 3, and 7 after injury. There was a significant increase in the platelet count compared with the baseline values, which was highest on day 12 after injury.Conclusion. Intraperitoneal administration of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine in rats in early post TBI period inhibited the TBI-associated damaging effect of secondary factors on liver sinusoid endothelial cells and platelet consumption.

Development of an environmentally-durable, low-friction coating
Authors: Farrar-Gaines Dawnielle , Maisano Adam , Freeman Adam , Xia Zhiyong , LaBarre Erin , Watson Gary , Dawib Yousef 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
In this communication, we highlight the development of a new coating that offers environmental durability and low-friction characteristics by exploiting the low interfacial bond strength of fillers with lamellar structures. The water-based coating has low volatile organic compound (VOC) content (< 50 g/L), offers the ability to be pigmented, demonstrates resilience against accelerated aging exposures, and exhibits even lower friction with extended weathering. The low-friction coating provides a simple method for modifying surface properties, and has the potential to complement Jersey walls by inhibiting vertical climb and thus decreasing the probability of vehicular roll-over upon impact.

Published: February 2021

Background: Worldwide increased incidence of twin gestation. The rates of twin gestation have a direct effect on the rates of preterm birth and its co-morbidities. Importantly, this increased risk applies to each fetus and is not simply the result of more foetuses.Methods: This prospective study was carried out in department of obstetrics and gynaecology. 100 consecutive subjects fulfilling inclusion criteria admitted to labour room and obstetrics intensive care enrolled over a period of around 1 year.Results: In this study twin delivery accounted for 1.3% of all delivery at our institute. On analysing neonatal morbidities Prematurity was commonest 65%, VLBW (23% first twin, 30% second twin), RDS (9% first twin, 13% second twin), birth asphyxia (7% first twin, 12% second twin), neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (7% first twin, 8% second twin). 34% of first twin and 40% of second twin required NICU admission. Early neonatal death observed in 6% of first twin and 8% of second twin. It was observed that proportion of neonatal complications was more in MCDA as compared to DCDA and in un-booked subjects as compared to booked subjects. This difference is statistically significant among both twin (p value<0.05).Conclusions: Twin pregnancy is associated with high perinatal morbidity. Specialized obstetrics and Intensive Neonatal care can decrease neonatal morbidity and mortality in twin gestation. We need to be extra vigilant in monochorionic twins and twin pregnancy with inadequate antenatal care.

Published: February 2021

Background: This study was undertaken to evaluate the surgical outcomes of patients with early cervical cancer treated with radical hysterectomy.Methods: A total of 50 patients who underwent modified radical hysterectomy between April 2006 and April 2016 at Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheswara medical college and hospital, Dharwad, Karnataka were retrospectively reviewed. The analysis included clinical and pathologic variables including age, tumour size, clinical stage, lymphovascular space involvement, tumour type and grade, lymph node metastases, surgical margin involvement, intraoperative and postoperative complications and pattern of adjuvant therapy were analysed. Results: The median age of the patient who underwent radical hysterectomy was 47.8 years, the mean parity being 3.6. Histologically, the most common type of malignancy encountered was squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, which occurred in 42 patients (84 %). 8 (16%) showed involvement of 1 or more lymph nodes and evidence of lymphovascular invasion. Involvement of the resected vaginal margins was noted in 11 patients (22%). The average hospital stay was 19.8 days, the prolonged stay resulting from postoperative morbidity. Postoperative concurrent chemoradiation with cisplatin was administered in eight (16%) cases due to pelvic lymph node metastases. Postoperative vaginal brachytherapy was given in 11 (22%) cases because of positive vaginal margins.Conclusions: The present study shows that general gynaecologists with signiﬁcant experience in general gynaecologic surgery may, with adequate but abbreviated training, become competent in performing a modiﬁed radical hysterectomy.
