„Schilf wächst darüber, Schilf wächst immer darüber“ Heimatliche Donaulandschaften in den deutschsprachigen Literaturen Südosteuropas nach 1945
Authors: Spiridon Olivia 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Danubeland scapes have been a recurrent topic in the German-language literature of Southeastern Europe, especially in German literature from Romania, which was the only one to survive the end of the Second World War in the Eastern Bloc. They developed different forms on both-sides of the Iron Curtain. In the West, the Danubeservedas a frame work for the consolidation of a common identity of many disparate groups of former German minorities from Southeastern Europe under the collective name “Danube Swabians”. Additionally, writers from Romania who emigrated to the West recalled in their works bothwonderful and frightening images of the lower Danube. In Romania, Danube landscapes are to be seen as attempts to negotiate the concept of homeland from a contemporary perspective after its appropriation by the patriotic literature of the court literati. They emergedas a stage for projecting new sensitivities: the suffering of isolation, economic misery and environmental pollution. Subversively narrated landscapes also set hidden signs of the memory of the isolated detention camps on the periphery of the country. The transformation of Danube landscapes is analysed by using literary examples after 1945.
Zwischen Heimatverlust und unsicherer Gegenwart: Sozialer Wandel in Zonenkinder (2002) von Jana Hensel und Scotch (2010) von Ioana Bradea
Authors: Ghiţă Roxana-Andreea 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
My paper will explore the interrelation between past, present and identity, as well as the dynamics of social change in contemporary German and Romanian literature, as exemplified by Jana Hensel’s Zonenkinder (2002) and Ioana Bradea’s Scotch (2010). Both authors belong to a new generation of writers who, having experienced the collapse of the communist regime as adolescents, investigate the traumatic experience of change and adjustment to the social, economic and cultural realities of post-communist societies. While Hensel aims at recreating the lost Heimat (motherland) as an Erinnerungsraum (space of remembrance) and portraying the social tensions of the post-unification decade from an Eastern German perspective, Bradea focuses on depicting the desolate post-communist industrial landscape, as well as the everyday lives of anonymous Romanians caught in the vagaries of transition.

Effect of Early versus Delayed Parenteral Nutrition on the Health Outcomes of Critically Ill Adults: A Systematic Review
Authors: Sharma Suresh Kumar , Rani Ritu , Thakur Kalpana 
Published: August 2021

Abstract

Objectives
This systematic review aims to evaluate and summarise the findings of all relevant studies which identified the effect of early vs delayed parenteral nutrition (PN), early PN vs early supplemental PN and early PN vs standard care for critically ill adults.

Methods
The literature search was undertaken using PubMed, Embase, Medline, Clinical Key, and Ovid discovery databases. The reference lists of studies published from 2000 till June 2020 were hand searched.

Result
On screening 2088 articles, a total of five RCTs with 6,277 patients were included in this review. Only one clinical trial compared early PN and late PN; the results reported significantly shorter periods in intensive care unit (ICU) stay (p=0.02) and less ICU related infections (p=0.008) in the late PN group compared to the Early PN group. Two trials compared total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and enteral nutrition (EN) +TPN groups. Both found a significantly longer hospital stay duration (p<0.05 and p<0.01) with a higher mortality rate in the TPN group compared to the EN+TPN group. A statistically significant improvement was observed in patients’ quality of life receiving early PN compared to standard care (p=0.01). In contrast, no significant difference was found in the supplemental PN vs the standard care group.

Conclusion
The supplemental PN patients had shorter ICU stay and lower mortality rates than TPN. However, these findings should be interpreted carefully as included studies have different initiation timing of nutritional support, and the patients’ diagnosis varied.

Abstract

Introduction
In early 2020, at first surge of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, many health care workers (HCW) were re-deployed to critical care environments to support intensive care teams looking after patients with severe COVID-19. There was considerable anxiety of increased risk of COVID-19 for these staff. To determine whether critical care HCW were at increased risk of hospital acquired infection, we explored the relationship between workplace, patient facing role and evidence of immune exposure to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) within a quaternary hospital providing a regional critical care response. Routine viral surveillance was not available at this time.

Methods
We screened over 500 HCW (25% of the total workforce) for history of clinical symptoms of possible COVID19, assigning a symptom severity score, and quantified SARS-CoV-2 serum antibodies as evidence of immune exposure to the virus.

Results
Whilst 45% of the cohort reported symptoms that they consider may have represented COVID-19, 14% had evidence of immune exposure. Staffs in patient facing critical care roles were least likely to be seropositive (9%) and staff working in non-patient facing roles most likely to be seropositive (22%). Anosmia and fever were the most discriminating symptoms for seropositive status. Older males presented with more severe symptoms. Of the 12 staff screened positive by nasal swab (10 symptomatic), 3 showed no evidence of seroconversion in convalescence.

Conclusions
Patient facing staff working in critical care do not appear to be at increased risk of hospital acquired infection however the risk of nosocomial infection from non-patient facing staff may be more significant than previous recognised. Most symptoms ascribed to possible COVID-19 were found to have no evidence of immune exposure however seroprevalence may underrepresent infection frequency. Older male staff were at the greatest risk of more severe symptoms.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Nowadays, we can hardly imagine our life without the achievements of modern technology, such as refrigerators, televisions, computers, or smartphones. Producers are pushing consumers to buy newer, more modern appliances instead of repairing the original ones. However, all the devices represent a huge amount of waste. E-waste is one of the fastest growing types of waste, and only less than a half of it is recycled. Its disposal poses a great challenge for the population and constitutes a huge burden for the environment. In the research described in this article, we focused on individual techniques for metals recovery from e-waste. In the experimental part, we deal with the recycling of electronic waste by bioleaching, using microorganisms Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans. Compared to conventional techniques, bioleaching is a more environmentally friendly and economical alternative of metals recovery from e-waste.
Electrochemical Recovery of Silver Using a Simple Cell

Published: August 2021

Abstract
The amount of generated e-waste during the last decades has been steadily raising to the point at which it is highly desirable to obtain the precious metals by recycling the e-waste without the need of exploiting the environment. The rapid development of technology, steep growth of modern facilities with user-friendly electronical devices and a stiff competition between manufacturers are among the main reasons for decreasing the life span of such devices, and subsequently end up as an obsolete waste product. Rapid industrialization and urbanization have also caused many environmental problems, e.g. heavy metal contamination. Silver is one of the precious metals with exceptionally high industrial applications, which makes it an area of research of high interest. Demand for silver continues to grow with progress in the industrialized world, while the world reserves of high-quality silver ores are declining. Although, there are large stocks of low and lean quality silver ores still to be mined, the main goal of this article is to provide a simple, effective and eco-friendly method of silver recovery from e-waste, e.g. electrical circuit breakers using an electrochemical cell. After 20.75 days of the experiment, 1481.5 grams of silver contacts were processed with a final yield of 61.41 % grams of silver dendrite crystals (99.9 % purity).
The Importance of Studying Human Brain

Abstract
Due to its numerous distinctive functions and unique pathology, the human brain, or rather forebrain has been difficult to study in common animal models. Although many basic molecular and cellular events are conserved across species, human brain connectivity, pertinent especially to the cerebral cortex circuitry, is unique and demands extensive research. Despite a great advancement in functional imaging methods accomplished over the last two decades, many basic features of healthy and diseased human forebrain remain elusive. Here we address difficulties in anatomical studies of developing and adult human brain and indicate the new directions and challenges to be addressed in the future. We pay special attention to possibilities of translating animal brain research to human cases. We consider that, although animal experiments play a vital role in understanding fundamental molecular and cellular mechanisms behind brain function, understanding of higher brain functions (language, intelligence, memory) has to be based on understanding uniqueness of human circuitries. Furthermore, brain is the site of many human-specific diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s disease, for which only partial animal models exist. To study human brain, thus, remains irreplaceable in the quest for new therapeutic tools, as well as in understanding the essence of our being.

Published: August 2021

Background: A key to an effective Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) Community Intervention is to understand populations who are most vulnerable to it. We aimed at evaluating characteristics of New York City communities where rates of confirmed COVID-19 cases were particularly high.
Methods: The study outcomes - neighborhood-specific confirmed COVID-19 cases, positive tests, and COVID-19 attributable deaths were calculated using data extracted from the New York City government health website, which were linked to results from Community Health Survey. Distributions of study outcomes across New York City community districts and their associations with neighborhood characteristics were examined using Jonckheere-Terpstra tests.
Results: As of May 21, 2010, rates of confirmed cases ranged from 0.8% (Greenwich Village and Soho) to 3.9% (Jackson Heights), and the rates of attributable death from to 0.6‰ (Greenwich Village and Soho) to 4.2‰ (Coney Island). Higher percentages of black, Hispanic and foreign-born populations, lower educational attainment, poverty, lack of health insurance, and suboptimal quality of health care were all factors found to be correlated with increased rates of confirmed COVID-19 cases.
Conclusions: The epidemiology of COVID-19 exhibited great variations among neighborhoods in New York City. Community interventions aimed at COVID-19 prevention and mitigation should place high priorities in areas with large populations of blacks and Hispanics and economically disadvantages areas.

Published: August 2021

Актуальность криопоражений обусловлена большим числом пострадавших, сложностью лечения, длительной утратой трудоспособности, тяжелыми последствиями и, как следствие, высоким уровнем инвалидизации. Цель исследования -- оценка изменений микрокровотока и периферической иннервации при местной холодовой травме и формирование прогностической модели уровня повреждения конечности. Методика. Под наблюдением было 35 больных с местной холодовой травмой нижних конечностей III-IV степени. Использован неинвазивный метод лазерной доплеровской флуометрии с помощью аппарата ЛАКК-02, а также метод накожной электронейромиографии с помощью аппарата Нейро-ВМП, компании Нейрософт. Результаты. Несмотря на гипотетически функциональную связь между микрокровотоком кожи и уровнем отморожения пораженной конечности, статистически значимых результатов получено не было (p > 0,05), что свидетельствует о более сложном генезе патологических изменений в пораженной конечности. Между тем, у пострадавших с местной криотравмой отмечены выраженные изменения периферической иннервации. Нейропатия прогрессирует с увеличением уровня повреждения. Заключение. У пациентов с местной холодовой травмой отмечается снижение биоэлектрической активности мышц в области пораженной конечности.
Cryotrauma is relevant due to a large number of patients, the complexity of treatment, the likelihood of severe complications, and long-term disability. The aim was to assess oscillations in microcirculation and peripheral innervation during regional cold injury, and to form a prognostic model according to the severity of limb injury. Methods. Studies were carried out in 35 patients with III-IV degree local cold injury of a leg. Non-invasive laser Doppler flowmetry was performed with a LAKK-02 device, and peripheral innervation was evaluated by cutaneous electroneuromyography with a Neurosoft Neuro-VMP device. The patients were divided into 3 groups depending on the injury. Results. Despite the hypothetical, functional relationship between skin microcirculatory blood flow and the degree of frostbite of the affected tissue, no statistically significant association was detected (p > 0.05), which indicates a more complex genesis of the cold-induced pathology. However, there were pronounced changes in neural activity in this tissue. Neuropathy increased with increasing injury. Conclusions. In patients with local cold trauma there is a decrease in the bioelectric activity of the muscles in the damaged tissue.

Предложена нестационарная 2D-модель транспорта донных отложений в прибрежной зоне мелководных водоемов, дополненная уравнениями Навье–Стокса, неразрывности и состояния водной среды. Дискретная модель транспорта наносов получена в результате аппроксимации соответствующей линеаризованной непрерывной модели. Поскольку задачи прогнозирования транспорта наносов требуют решения в реальном или ускоренном масштабах времени, на сетках, включающих 106–109 узлов, необходима разработка параллельных алгоритмов задач гидродинамики на системах с массовым параллелизмом. Представлены результаты работы созданного эффективного программного обеспечения для выполнения гидродинамических вычислительных экспериментов, позволяющие проводить численное моделирование деформации дна в прибрежной зоне водоема. Приведены результаты численных экспериментов.
A nonstationary 2D model of bottom sediment transport in the coastal zones of shallow water reservoirs is supplemented with the Navier–Stokes equations, the continuity equation, and the state equation of the water environment. A discrete model of sediment transport is obtained by approximating the corresponding linearized continuous model. Since the problems of predicting sediment transport need to be solved in real or accelerated time scales, parallel algorithms for hydrodynamic problems on systems with mass parallelism should be developed on grids with 106–109 nodes. The paper contains the results obtained by an efficient software implemented to perform hydrodynamic computational experiments that allow the numerical modeling of bottom deformation in the coastal zones of reservoir. The results of numerical experiments are discussed.

Published: August 2021

В рамках статистического подхода, основанного на кинетическом уравнении для функции плотности вероятности распределения скорости и температуры частиц, построена континуальная модель, описывающая псевдотурбулентные течения дисперсной фазы. Введение функции плотности вероятности позволяет получить статистическое описание ансамбля частиц вместо динамического описания отдельных частиц на основе уравнений движения и теплопереноса типа Ланжевена. На основе уравнений для первых и вторых моментов дисперсной фазы проводится численное моделирование нестационарного течения газовзвеси, возникающего при взаимодействии ударной волны с облаком частиц. Основные уравнения имеют гиперболический тип, записываются в консервативной форме и решаются с использованием численного метода типа Годунова повышенного порядка точности. Обсуждается влияние двумерных эффектов на формирование ударно-волновой структуры течения и пространственно-временн´ые зависимости концентрации частиц и других параметров потока.
A statistical approach based on the kinetic equation for the probability density function of the distribution of particle velocity and temperature is used to develop a continuum model describing pseudoturbulent flows of the dispersed phase. The introduction of the probability density function allows one to obtain a statistical description of an ensemble of particles instead of a dynamic description of individual particles based on Langevin equations of motion and heat transfer. The equations for the first and second moments of the dispersed phase are derived and the numerical simulation of the unsteady gas–particle flow arising due to the interaction of a shock wave with a cloud of particles is performed. The governing equations are of the hyperbolic type and are written in a conservative form. They are solved by a Godunov numerical method of high order of accuracy. Two-dimensional effects on the formation of the shock-wave structure of the gasparticle flow and distributions of particle concentration and other flow quantities in time and space are discussed.
