“An Impression of Asian People”: Asian American Comedy, Rhetoric, and Identity in Ali Wong’s Standup Comedy
Authors: Kim Euni 
Published: August 2021

AbstractWhile many have critiqued the racist, sexist, and otherwise prejudiced nature of comedic rhetorics, few have considered how identity-based comedy, particularly racial comedy, functions productively, rather than merely oppressively. Studies of comedic rhetorics have primarily focused on Black and white comedians, but the increasing number and variety of popular comedians of color demands investigation into how comedians from different racial backgrounds use humor to rhetorically articulate the boundaries of their racial(ized) identities. This essay theorizes comedic rhetoric, particularly stereotypes in comedy, as a constitutive form of rhetoric that can articulate generative racial identities as they exist within the ambivalent spaces of in-group stereotypes. By pairing polysemy, Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of polyphony, and Tina Chen’s theory of impersonation to analyze the standup performances of Asian American comedian Ali Wong, this essay ultimately represents a necessary intervention into understanding racial comedy and stereotypes as potentially productive sites for examining racial identity.
Rhetoric for Earthly Coexistence: Imagining an Ecocentric Rhetoric
Authors: Barnett Joshua Trey 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
What obligations do scholars of rhetoric and public address have to understand, address, and sustain the conditions of earthly coexistence? Only if the field of rhetoric embraces a genuinely ecological notion of rhetoric, the author argues, and only if we collectively commit to addressing the ecological dimensions of our various objects of study, can we truly give back to the earth in ways that honor all that it has given, and continues to give, to us. Toward that end, this essay outlines several dimensions of an “ecocentric rhetoric.“
Smartphone imaging technology and its applications
Authors: Blahnik Vladan , Schindelbeck Oliver 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThanks to their portability, connectivity, and their image performance – which is constantly improving – smartphone cameras (SPCs) have been people’s loyal companions for quite a while now. In the past few years, multicamera systems have become well and truly established, alongside 3D acquisition systems such as time-of-flight (ToF) sensors. This article looks at the evolution and status of SPC imaging technology. After a brief assessment of the SPC market and supply chain, the camera system and optical image formation is described in more detail. Subsequently, the basic requirements and physical limitations of smartphone imaging are examined, and the optical design of state-of-the-art multicameras is reviewed alongside their optical technology and manufacturing process. The evolution of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors and basic image processing is then briefly summarized. Advanced functions such as a zoom, shallow depth-of-field portrait mode, high dynamic range (HDR), and fast focusing are enabled by computational imaging. Optical image stabilization has greatly improved image performance, enabled as it is by built-in sensors such as a gyroscope and accelerometer. Finally, SPCs’ connection interface with telescopes, microscopes, and other auxiliary optical systems is reviewed.

Abstract

Objectives
To develop a crude screening method for detecting biomarkers which frequently exhibit a rise (or fall) in level prior to a serious event (e.g. a stroke) in patients with a chronic disease, signalling that the biomarker may have an alarm-raising or prognostic potential. The subsequent assessment of the marker’s clinical utility requires costly, difficult longitudinal studies. Therefore, initial screening of candidate-biomarkers is desirable.

Methods
The method exploits a cohort of patients with biomarkers measured at entry and with recording of first serious event during follow-up. Copying those individual records onto a common timeline where a specific event occurs on the same day (Day 0) for all patients, the baseline biomarker level, when plotted against the patient’s entry time on the revised timeline, will have a positive (negative) regression slope if biomarker levels generally rise (decline) the closer one gets to the event. As an example, we study 1,958 placebo-treated patients with stable coronary artery disease followed for nine years in the CLARICOR trial (NCT00121550), examining 11 newer biomarkers.

Results
Rising average serum levels of cardiac troponin T and of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide were seen prior to a fatal cardiovascular outcome. C-reactive protein rose prior to non-cardiovascular death. Glomerular filtration rate, seven lipoproteins, and nine newer cardiological biomarkers did not show convincing changes.

Conclusions
For early detection of biomarkers with an alarm-raising potential in chronic diseases, we proposed the described easy procedure. Using only baseline biomarker values and clinical course of participants with coronary heart disease, we identified the same cardiovascular biomarkers as those previously found containing prognostic information using longitudinal or survival analysis.
Aitionetprophasischez Hippocrate et Galien : deux mots pour une même cause ?
Authors: Boudon-Millot Véronique 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThis paper deals with the two notions ofaitionoraitiaandprophasisin the Greek medical texts and asks the question of whether these words are synonymous or not. Therefore, it explores their different meanings in different contexts both in the Hippocratic and in the Galenic corpus. It also investigates how Galen understands these two notions when he reads them in the Hippocratic treatises and how he explains them in his commentaries to Hippocrates, and in particular, if he gives the same meaning to these words in his own treatises or if he uses them in a different way.
Medical and Philosophical Causality of Nutrition. About some Hippocratic Issues
Authors: Darbo-Peschanski Catherine 
Published: August 2021

AbstractAfter a quick overview on the specification of the causal role of the powers or faculties (δυνάμεις) in nutrition, from the Hippocratic physicians to Galen,viaAristotle, the article defines the set of questions about this process that the Hippocratic physicians leave open. It then examines how Aristotle provides some sort of indirect physical and ethical answers, while Galen openly takes the side of reappropriating the central Stoic concept ofoikeiôsisin a Platonist way.
Galen and the Formal Cause
Authors: Chiaradonna Riccardo 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
This paper focuses on Galen’s views about the formal cause against the wider background of his account of causation. In his works on the pulse, Galen provides an in-depth discussion of issues such as the theory of causes and the problem of definition. While Galen is inclined to incorporate Peripatetic doctrines and vocabulary, he neglects Aristotle’s formal cause both in his account of causes and in that of definition. Further parallels outside the corpus on the pulse confirm Galen’s reserved attitude towards the (Peripatetic) formal cause. In his work That the Faculties of the Soul Follow the Mixtures of the Body, however, Galen refers favourably to the Peripatetic theory of hylomorphic form. More precisely, Galen equates the Peripatetic en-mattered form with the mixture of homoeomerous bodies (the ratio or proportion of the elementary qualities in them). Here I will attempt to provide an explanation of Galen’s mixed attitude towards the formal cause and I will argue that his general position is consistent after all. In addition to this, I will try to set Galen’s position against the background of the Peripatetic debates on the status of form.
The Structure of Courage in theLaches,MenoandProtagoras
Authors: Jirsa Jakub 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThe following article provides an interpretation of the structure of courage in Plato’sLaches,MenoandProtagoras. I argue that these dialogues present courage (ἀνδρεία) in the soul according to the same scheme: that there is a normatively neutral psychic state which is informed by the knowledge of good and evil. The knowledge (ἐπιστήμη) which informs this normatively neutral psychic state is called practical wisdom (which Plato refers to as φρόνησις or sometimes σοφία). This interpretation seems to negate the claim that virtue is knowledge. I will show, however, that this is not a contradiction and that virtue is in fact knowledge, despite the complex moral psychology of courage. Finally, I will argue that the conception of courage in theRepublicaddresses some of the problems posed by the discussion of courage in the above-mentioned dialogues.
Synthesis and characterization of bio catalyst prepared from dairy waste for lactic acid esterification

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Dairy byproduct is known for its valuable chemical and nutritional content possessing high market potential. Notwithstanding, it is tractable to exploit its utilization. The waste generated is organic and having huge energy potential. The objective of current research is to synthesize novel catalyst from a dairy based solid waste called Ghee Residue by chemical activation process and deploy it for the production of iso-butyl lactate. Surface identity of catalyst was furnished using Brunauer-Emmet Teller (BET) method and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Effect of variables like reaction time, temperature of reaction and loading of catalyst on lactic acid conversion were studied. In addition to this, reaction kinetics modelling was performed using 2nd order pseudo-homogeneous approach. It was inferred that, both internal as well as external resistance of mass transfer could not offer any influence on overall rate of reaction in this esterification. Optimum condition for esterification reaction was at 368 K with 3% catalyst loading giving the highest conversion around 74%. The energy of activation for the present system using synthesized catalyst was 41.5 kJ/mol and found to be lower in comparison with the other catalysts. Although, the activity of GRC declined gradually less than 10% from the activity of the several reaction cycle.
An ideal solution for the deployment of photovoltaic generators using agent-based Nash Differential Evolution (NashDE) algorithm
Authors: C. M. Thasnimol , R. Rajathy 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThis paper combines evolutionary game theory and Agent-based modelling for finding out the optimal location and size of multiple solar PVs in an unbalanced distribution system. The use of Agent-based modelling in solar PV placement is new and hence provides a valuable contribution. NashDE algorithm is implemented and simulated using an agent-based modelling framework MESA. In MA-NashDE, the optimization variables, i.e., the power system buses, are clustered into several zones using both the Loss Sensitivity Index and the Voltage Sensitivity Index. Each zone is under the control of a Nash/zonal player, and the strategy adopted by the zonal player will evolve through Multi-Agent Differential Evolution (MADE) algorithm. This is a novel study focusing on the PV placement problem by Agent-based Evolutionary Game Theory. The proposed methodology was tested using IEEE 34 and IEEE 123 bus radial distribution network using the OpenDSS-Python COM interface.
Brandom on Perceptual Knowledge
Authors: Kalpokas Daniel 
Published: August 2021

AbstractAccording to Brandom, perceptual knowledge is the product of two distinguishable capacities: (i) the capacity to reliably discriminate behaviorally between different sorts of stimuli, and (ii) the capacity to take up a position in the game of giving and asking for reasons. However, in focusing exclusively on the entitlements and commitments of observation reports, rather than on perception itself, Brandom passes over a conception of perceptual experience as a sort of contentful mental state. In this article, I argue that this is a blind spot, which makes Brandom’s account of perceptual knowledge unable to properly accommodate the phenomenon of seeing aspects.
Human Striving and Absolute Reliance upon God: A Kierkegaardian Paradox
Authors: Barrett Lee C. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Kierkegaard’s texts suggest countervailing construals of the respective roles of divine and human agency in an individual’s pursuit of blessedness. Kierkegaard paradoxically suggests that the individual must depend entirely on grace for the birth and development of faith, and at the same time actively cultivate faithful dispositions and passions. But Kierkegaard did not espouse Calvinistic divine determinism, or Pelagian autonomous human agency, or the Arminian cooperation of the two. For Kierkegaard, the ostensible paradox of grace and free will is not a cognitive conundrum but is rather a challenge to integrate faith as a gift and faith as a task.
Towards the Socratic Mission: Imitatio Socratis
Authors: Parding Mathias G. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
It is known that Kierkegaard’s relation to politics was problematic and marked by a somewhat reactionary stance. The nature of this problematic relation, however, will be shown to lie in the tension between his double skepticism of the order of establishment [det Bestående] on the one hand, and the political associations of his age on the other. In this tension he is immersed, trembling between Scylla and Charybdis. On the one hand Kierkegaard is hesitant to support the progressive political movements of the time due to his skepticism about the principle of association in the socio-psychological climate of leveling and envy. On the other hand, his dubious support of the order of the establishment, in particular the Church and Bishop Mynster, becomes increasingly problematic. The importance of 1848 is crucial in this regard since this year marks the decisive turn in Kierkegaard’s authorship. Using the letters to Kolderup-Rosenvinge in the wake of the cataclysmic events of 1848 as my point of departure, I wish to elucidate the pathway towards what Kierkegaard himself understands as his Socratic mission.
What is Worldly Logic and Why Might it Lead to Suicide? Kierkegaard, Wittgenstein, and the Critique of Logic
Authors: Djordjevic Charles 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
In contemporary philosophy, there is a growing interest in how Søren Kierkegaard’s metaphilosophy and philosophical methodology may have influenced Ludwig Wittgenstein. This paper contributes to this discussion by arguing that each shares and critiques a particular conception of logic that I term “worldly logic.” Roughly, “worldly logic” contends logic and metaphysics are intimately interconnected. It further argues that reading Kierkegaard’s brief thoughts on logic, in the Climacus texts, through the lens of the later Wittgenstein, helps to clarify the nature of Kierkegaard’s critique. Finally, it argues that their shared abhorrence of a particular sort of philosophy of logic is principled and apt.
Menschenrechte – eine baptistische Perspektive
Authors: Strübind Andrea 
Published: August 2021

Zusammenfassung
Der Einsatz für die Religionsfreiheit gehört zu den denominationellen Charakteristika und Grundsätzen (Baptist Principles) des weltweiten Baptismus. Der Beitrag trägt geschichtliche Beispiele zusammen, die diese Grundhaltung belegen. Zudem werden gegenwärtige Gefährdungen und Engführungen (Evangelikale Bewegung, Neue Rechte in den USA) herausgearbeitet. Es stellt sich die Frage, wie sich die baptistische Fokussierung auf die Religionsfreiheit zu den anderen Menschenrechten verhält.
Menschenrechte: Zur adventistischen Positionierung
Authors: Höschele Stefan 
Published: August 2021

Zusammenfassung
Adventisten sind, geprägt vor allem durch ihre amerikanische Herkunft, Menschenrechtsbefürworter von Anfang an. Dennoch spielen Reflexionen zu den Menschenrechten in adventistischer Theologie und Ethik bislang so gut wie keine eigenständige Rolle – bis auf die Religionsfreiheit, die aufgrund der eigenen Minderheitensituation von existenzieller Bedeutung war. Die Sabbattheologie und die Betonung des Dekalogs können als hilfreiche Beiträge in der Diskussion um menschenrechtliches Denken angesehen werden.
Systematische Positionen zu den Menschenrechten in der chalkedonischen Orthodoxie
Authors: Grigore Mihai-D. 
Published: August 2021

Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag bietet einen synthetischen Überblick über die systematische Untermauerung der Menschenwürde und Menschenrechte in der Dogmatik und Ethik der chalkedonisch-orthodoxen Kirchen. Der Diskurs entfaltet sich entlang wichtiger semantischer Felder wie „Bild Gottes im Menschen“, „Angleichung an Gott“, „Menschenwürde als moralische Performanz“, „der Mensch als Person“ oder „Christengemeinschaft (Koinonia)“. Der Beitrag stellt eine unzureichende, zögerliche und uneinheitliche theologisch-systematische Auseinandersetzung mit Menschenrechten in den orthodoxen Traditionen fest.
Menschenrechte: eine koptisch-orthodoxe Sicht
Authors: Rezkalla Sherif 
Published: August 2021

Zusammenfassung
Der Artikel zeigt auf, dass aufgrund der langen Verfolgungsgeschichte in koptisch-orthodoxen Überlegungen zu den Menschenrechten die Gleichberechtigung der Kopten in Ägypten im Vordergrund stand, während die darüber hinausgehende Diskussion noch am Anfang steht. Die koptische Theologie basiert auf der biblischen Anthropologie, die die Gleichheit aller Menschen betont. Ziel des menschlichen Lebens ist die Gottebenbildlichkeit, die in der Einheit mit Christus und der Teilhabe am Leben der Dreifaltigkeit gipfelt. Damit ist die Liebe die Grundlage für die Bestimmung der Werte, Rechte und Pflichten.
The use of semiotic resources in traffic policing: an exploration of genre structure and exchanges in traffic accident handling in China
Authors: Wu Qijing , Wang Zhenhua 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
In China, the increasing traffic pressure has created traffic policing problems such as the heavy workloads of traffic police, as well as more conflicts between traffic police and road users. The treatment of traffic policing as a semiotic practice provides both a new perspective in and a helpful approach to dealing with these problems, yet few studies have investigated how semiotic resources are used in traffic policing interactions. This article examines the supportive role of semiotic resources in traffic policing, and draws upon genre and exchanges involved as an illustration. The data include three audio recordings of traffic accident handling cases in Shanghai, China. Through qualitative analysis of the data from the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics, this article identifies the genre stages (both obligatory and optional stages) in traffic accident handling and their logico-semantic relations, and situates the typical exchanges and moves used by traffic police in different stages. It also discusses the usefulness of semiotic resources for traffic policing and the implications of these resources in tackling the existing problems of traffic policing in China.
The Written British National Corpus 2014 – design and comparability
Authors: Brezina Vaclav , Hawtin Abi , McEnery Tony 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThe British National Corpus 2014 is a major project led by Lancaster University to create a 100-million-word corpus of present day British English. This corpus has been constructed as a comparable counterpart of the original British National Corpus (referred to as the BNC1994 in this article), which was compiled in the early 1990s. This article starts with the justification of the project answering the question of ‘Why do we need a new BNC?’. We then provide a general overview of the construction of the Written British National Corpus 2014 (Written BNC2014); we also briefly discuss some issues of data collection before looking in detail at the design of the corpus. Compiling a large general corpus such as the Written BNC2014 has been a major undertaking involving teamwork and collaboration. It also required generosity on the part of the many individuals and organisations who contributed to the data collection.
La encrucijada de la virtualidad en la educación superior frente al problema multidimensional de las violencias basadas en género
Authors: Pachón Montañez Nicholl Valeria 
Published: August 2021

A partir de la Sentencia T-239 de 2018, se ha escalado en las discusiones jurídicas la necesidad de crear ambientes educativos libres de violencias basadas en género, no obstante, tanto la caracterización como el reconocimiento de estas violencias en las aulas sigue siendo una discusión estéril y meramente enunciativa. La emergencia sanitaria ocasionada por COVID-19 ha mostrado la necesidad de repensar las relaciones y las dinámicas educativas más allá de los preconceptos, para atender las complejidades que representan tanto la construcción del diálogo como el uso del lenguaje dentro de las dinámicas educativas.
En este artículo se hace un llamado a aprovechar el surgimiento de las nuevas formas de comunicación en las instituciones de educación superior para replantear la manera en que se está observando la violencia de género a partir de los instrumentos institucionales resultantes de la Sentencia T-239 de 2018 y profundizar en el estudio de las condiciones de igualdad dentro de las aulas, con el propósito de contar con herramientas que respondan de manera efectiva a la materialización de la igualdad de género en la educación.
