Neuere Theatertexte Jelineks und ihr langer Weg auf die polnischen Bühnen. Anmerkungen zum Theatertransfer
Authors: JEZIERSKA Agnieszka 
Published: March 2018

Jelineks neuere und innovativere „Texte für das Theater" werden in Polen immer stärker rezipiert, nachdem das polnische Theater in den Neunzigern und auch noch nach dem Jahr 2000 an solchen (nicht „theatertauglichen") Texten nicht besonders interessiert war. Viele ForscherInnen betonen, dass sich das polnische Theaterleben früher markant von dem deutschen unterschied, das deutsche Vorbild allmählich aber an Bedeu-tung gewinnt und das polnische Theaterleben zunehmend beeinflusst. Erst mit neuen Übersetzungen, die von Theaterleuten vorgelegt wurden, mit dem Generationswechsel und einer unterstützenden Politik der Theaterleiter wurde der Durchbruch möglich, und zwar mit zwei parallelen Aufführungen aus der Spielzeit 2007/2008: Mit Über Tiere in der Regie von Łukasz Chotkowski in Bromberg und Sportchor von Krzysztof Garbaczewski in Oppeln (beide Texte wurden von Karolina Bikont übersetzt). Der Beitrag plädiert für eine systemorientierte Analyse, die mehrere Faktoren des Theatertransfers berücksichtigt.

Published: March 2018

O presente estudo teve como objetivo de estabelecer o zoneamento bioclimático para vacas leiteiras no estado do RS a partir do Índice de Temperatura e Umidade (ITU) e realizar a espacialização do déficit da produção de leite das vacas da raça Holandesa com nível de produção de 20, 25 e 30 kg dia -1. O estudo foi realizado para 27 municípios do estado para os quais foi calculado o ITU a partir de dados de temperatura média compensada (TMC) e umidade relativa compensada (URC), referentes a última normal climatológica (1961 e 1990) disponível no site do INMET. Nos meses em que o ITU foi superior ao de conforto térmico foi calculado a déficit de produção de leite. Uma vez detectada a dependência espacial, produziu-se o mapa temático da distribuição espacial da variável por meio de krigagem ordinária. O modelo esférico foi o que melhor ajustou à semivariância experimental observada para o ITU, que apresentou dependência espacial com correlação significativa negativa entre os valores de altitude. O ITU foi superior a 70, considerado condição de alerta, em 18 municípios dos 27 avaliados, nos meses de dezembro, janeiro e fevereiro, chegando ao valor máximo de 75,4, na faixa de municípios situados na região sudoeste, com altitude de até 100 m. O déficit de produção de leite de vacas Holandesas, para um nível de produção de 20 a 30 kg dia -1, em função de condições climáticas foi de até 4,20 kg dia -1 para o estado do RS.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: conforto térmico; índices de conforto térmico, geoestatística. BIOCLIMATIC ZONING FOR DAIRY COWS IN THE STATE OF RIO GRANDE DO SULABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to establish the bioclimatic zoning for dairy cows in the state of RS analyzing the temperature and humidity index (THI) and to perform the spatialization of milk production deficit of Holstein cows of 20, 25 and 30 kg day-1. The study was performed in 27 state municipalities for those UTI was calculated from the data of compensated mean temperature (TMC) and compensated relative humidity (URC), referring to the last climatological normal data (1961 and 1990) available on INMET website. Once the spatial dependence was detected, a thematic map of the spatial distribution was generated using ordinary kriging. The spherical model was the best fit for the experimental semivariance observed for THI, which showed spatial dependence with significant negative correlation between altitude values. The THI was above 70, considered an alert condition, in 18 municipalities of the 27 evaluated, in the months of december, january and february, reaching a maximum value of 75.4, in the range of municipalities located in the southwest region, with altitude up to 100 m. The milk production deficit of Holstein cows, for a production yield of 20 to 30 kg day -1, regarding the climatic conditions, was up to 4.20 kg day -1 for the RS state.KEYWORDS: thermal comfort; thermal comfort indexes, geostatistics.

Published: March 2018

* Repairing skin and soft-tissue loss after severe trauma remains a daunting task because of the complications that arise throughout treatment. Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has proven to be a useful tool for reducing these complications by facilitating the repair of damaged soft tissue in a variety of scenarios and settings.* The success of NPWT depends on negative pressure, controlling local edema, the removal of inflammatory mediators, revascularization and granulation, and reducing the wound-bed bioburden.* NPWT is a reasonable treatment modality when used appropriately according to recommended indications.* NPWT creates an environment that can help to accelerate healing after devastating soft-tissue loss.* With a high reported rate of success, NPWT can be used in a variety of settings.* NPWT has proven to be useful in conjunction with flaps and grafts to further aid the practitioner in repairing damaged tissue.* NPWT has the potential of eliminating additional surgical procedures and lengthy hospital stays, thus reducing unnecessary costs.

Authors: Abri Abdolreza , Tajbakhsh Mahmood , Sadeghi Ali 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
A new derivative of chitosan functionalized with chloroacyl chloride and 2-(2-aminoethylamino) ethanol was synthesized for the preparation of a magnetic nanocomposite containing Fe3O4@TiO2 nanoparticles. Characterizations were done by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The nanocomposite was examined for the defluoridation of water, and the effect of contact time, pH, initial fluoride ion concentration, and adsorbent dosage were investigated. The Langmuir model showed the best agreement with the experimental data. The maximum adsorption capacity for the fluoride removal from aqueous solutions was 15.385 mg/g at 318 K and pH = 5.0. The adsorption mechanism matches the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with a rate constant (k2) of 0.68 g/mg·min. The thermodynamics study of the nature of adsorption showed that ΔH and ΔS were 13.767 kJ/mol and 0.066 kJ/mol·K respectively. A mechanism for the fluoride sorption was proposed by considering the electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions.

Introduction:In the absence of a vaccine, there is an urgent need for the identification of effective agents that prevent HIV transmission in uninfected individuals. Non-vaccine Biomedical Prevention (nBP) methods, such as topical or systemic pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), are promising strategies to slow down the spread of AIDS.Methods:In this study, we investigated the microbicidal efficacy of the viral membrane-disrupting amphipathic SWLRDIWDWICEVLSDFK peptide called C5A. We chose the bone marrow/liver/thymus (BLT) humanized mouse model as vaginal and rectal HIV transmission models.Results:We found that the topical administration of C5A offers complete protection against vaginal and rectal HIV challenges in humanized mice. After demonstrating that C5A blocks genital HIV transmission in humanized mice, we examined the molecular requirements for its microbicidal property. We found that the removal of four amino acids on either end of C5A does not diminish its microbicidal efficacy. However, the removal of four amino acids at both the ends, abolishes its capacity to prevent vaginal or rectal HIV transmission, suggesting that the length of the peptide is a critical parameter for the microbicidal activity of C5A. Moreover, we demonstrated that the amphipathicity of the helical peptide as well as its hydrophobic surface represents key factors for the microbicidal activity of C5A in humanized mice.Conclusion:With its noncellular cytotoxic activity, its property of neutralizing both HSV and HIV, and its unique mechanism of action that disrupts the stability of the viral membrane, C5A represents an attractive multipurpose microbicidal candidate to be combined with other anti-HIV agents including antiretrovirals.

Published: March 2018

Background:Hepatitis B is considered the most dangerous among the five types of Hepatitis, as it is clinically asymptomatic. It can silently damage the liver over many years without being diagnosed. Hepatitis B is one of the top risks of liver complications in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), a province of Pakistan, with an average prevalence rate of 2.70%.Aims:We aimed to carefully review the previously published data on prevalence of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) in KP-Pakistan and use the statistical approach to obtain more precise estimate of the prevalence of HBV in KP-Pakistan. This study on one hand will provide a more reliable and consolidated estimate (pooled estimate) of HBV in the stated region, on the other hand, it enabled us to judge the heterogeneity among the estimates found from these studies. The study is intended to provide more authentic prevalence record and help government/ non-government organizations and health professionals, which plan to initiate HBV prevention programs in KP-Pakistan.Methods:A meta-analysis was performed based on studies found in literature search from electronic databases and bibliography on the prevalence of HBV in KP-Pakistan from 2007 to 2017. Abstracts and results of twenty papers were thoroughly studied and the data were extracted. The findings from these studies were distributed in two groups (general and population at high risk) constituting 15 and 5 studies respectively.Results:The combined prevalence by considering random model for the general population of KP-Pakistan was observed to be 2.71%, while population at high risk was reasonably highi.e. 5.64%. By comparing this prevalence rate to the highest global prevalence of HBV in the adult population of Western Pacific Region (6.2%), significant (p-value= 0.000) heterogeneity was observed among the estimates in each group. However, the funnel plot provides a symmetric look, eliminating the effect of publication bias. We can say that HBV has an alarming prevalence rate in KP-Pakistan. However, HBV is thrice more prevalent in male population of KP-Pakistan than the female population.Conclusion:The above results lead that HBV infection has reached an alarming state in KP-Pakistan, though projects like Prime Minister’s Program for Prevention & Control of Hepatitis which are contributing in improving the health of the people of KP by trying to prevent and control the incidence of HBV. More massive vaccination and awareness programs should be initiated to prevent the spread of HBV on urgent basis. Provision of diagnostics and treatment facilities against HBV in healthcare units of KP-Pakistan should be assured.
Preliminary Data From the Study of Coagulative Profile of HIV Infected Individuals Suggest a Role For Point Mutations in the Gene in Protein S Deficiency in Individuals Undergoing Highly Antiretroviral Therapy

Published: March 2018

Background:
HIV infection is a known prothrombotic condition but factors involved are still controversial. A role for antiretrovirals, especially protease inhibitors, was advocated.

Objectives:
The study aimed to analyze the levels of anticoagulant proteins in virally suppressed HIV-infected subjects treated with different anti-retroviral regimens.

Materials and Methods:
Forty-four patients were included in the study. C and PS, D-Dimers and Fibrinogen levels were determined as well as APC-resistance. PROS1 gene was sequenced in a group of patient.

Results:
Twelve of the 44 subjects (27%) showed reduced levels of PS, while lower levels of PC were found only in 2 patients (4,5%). No difference in the mean values of PC and PS was found stratifying the study population by antiretroviral regimen administrated (p>0.05).
Three patients had higher levels of D-Dimer concentrations and in two of these patients, an association between higher D-Dimer values and lower levels of PS was observed; but however no correlation was found by statistical analysis.
PROS1 gene analysis was performed in 26 of the 44 HIV-1 patients and the subjects with low levels of PS had mutation in the fifteen exon of PROS 1 gene. While among individuals with normal levels, this mutation was observed only in 8/18 (44%) of the cases (p=0,0072).

Conclusion:
The majority of patients with low PS levels also had mutations in the fifteen exon of PROS 1 gene. Genetic determinants, deserving further investigations, rather than antiretrovirals might cause PS deficiency in HIV-1 positive patients.
Las kachinas en la ritualidad hopi
Authors: Vargas Herrera Mauricio 
Published: March 2018

El presente artículo señala algunos detalles de la ritualidad hopi que Aby Warburg pudo contemplar en su viaje de 1895 y que luego dejaría consignado en su conocido informe del sanatorio de Kreuzlingen, que posteriormente se conocería como El ritual de la serpiente. En este texto interesa, en especial, abrir escenarios de reflexión sobre la figura de las kachinas al amparo del juicioso escrutinio que realizó J. W. Fewkes, antes de que Warburg tocara el territorio de Oraibi. La perspectiva de análisis amplía la limitada visión que tuvo Warburg sobre la figura de las kachinas, a las cuales el pensador alemán les adjudicó una subordinada función de objeto simbólico.
Las «necesidades» de la guerra y la historia de la ciudad. Los proyectos de los ingenieros militares en los archivos europeos
Authors: Dameri Annalisa 
Published: March 2018

La historia de la ciudad europea está muy condicionada por la construcción (y después de algunos siglos por la demolición) de obras fortificadas. Los archivos militares europeos, los archivos estatales y los municipales custodian muchos dibujos testigos de cómo las ciudades han sido modeladas con base en las exigencias de la guerra. Este es sin duda un patrimonio archivístico importante que debe ser conocido, divulgado y valorizado.
Los dibujos de los ingenieros militares, que a menudo han permanecido bajo secreto durante años como material estratégico para la seguridad del Estado, en el transcurso de los siglos, terminadas las urgencias de la guerra, han quedado diseminados en una heterogénea sucesión de archivos.
Con motivo del estudio de algunas ciudades del norte de Italia se han comparado los diseños conservados en el ISCAG (Istituto Storico e di Cultura dell’arma del Genio) de Roma, los archivos estatales y municipales piamonteses y lombardos, la Biblioteca Nazionale de Florencia, la Biblioteca Nacional de España de Madrid, el Archivo General de Simancas, la Bibliothéque Nationale de Francia en París (Brunetti, 2006), los archivos del Service Historique de la Défense de Vincennes, el Bayerische Staatsbibliotek de Múnich y el Krigsarkivet de Estocolmo.

Published: March 2018

Background and objectives
In patients with CKD, elevated plasma parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels are associated with greater cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, the reference method for PTH measurement is disputed. It has been argued that measurement of nonoxidized PTH better reflects biologically active PTH than measurements with conventional assays.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
PTH and nonoxidized PTH levels were measured at study baseline in 535 patients with CKD with an eGFR range between 89 and 15 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Patients were followed over 5.1 years for the occurrence of acute heart failure, atherosclerotic events, CKD progression (doubling of serum creatinine or initiation of RRT), or all-cause death.

Results
Atherosclerotic events, acute heart failure, CKD progression, and deaths from any cause occurred in 116, 58, 73, and 85 patients, respectively. In Kaplan–Meier analyses, patients at the highest PTH and nonoxidized-PTH tertile (79–543 and 12–172 pg/ml, respectively) showed a higher rate of atherosclerotic events, acute heart failure, CKD progression, and death from any cause. After adjustment for eGFR and albuminuria, nonoxidized PTH was no longer associated with atherosclerotic events (hazard ratio third versus first tertile, 1.04 [95% confidence intervals, 0.62–1.75]), acute heart failure (hazard ratio third versus first tertile, 1.24 [95% confidence intervals, 0.59–2.62]), CKD progression (hazard ratio third versus first tertile, 0.93 [95% confidence intervals, 0.46–1.90]), and death from any cause (hazard ratio third versus first tertile, 1.23 [95% confidence intervals, 0.66–2.31]), and PTH lost its association with atherosclerotic events (hazard ratio third versus first tertile, 0.80 [95% confidence intervals, 0.46–1.38]) and CKD progression (hazard ratio third versus first tertile, 0.99 [95% confidence intervals, 0.46–2.10]), although it remained associated with acute heart failure (hazard ratio third versus first tertile, 2.76 [95% confidence intervals, 1.11–6.89]) and all-cause death (hazard ratio third versus first tertile, 2.35 [95% confidence intervals, 1.13–4.89]). After further adjustment for cardiovascular and kidney risk factors, PTH remained associated with all-cause death (hazard ratio third versus first tertile, 2.79 [95% confidence intervals, 1.32–5.89]), but with no other end point.

Conclusions
In a cohort of patients with CKD, PTH was associated with all-cause mortality; there was no association of nonoxidized PTH with any of the clinical outcomes examined.
Test-retest reliability of smile tasks using three-dimensional facial topography
Authors: Tanikawa Chihiro , Takada Kenji 
Published: March 2018

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
To evaluate the test-retest reliability of three types of facial expression tasks using three-dimensional (3D) facial topography.

Materials and Methods:
Twelve adult volunteers were enrolled in this study. They were instructed to perform three different facial expression tasks: rest posture, posed smile, and maximum effort smile. Each task was recorded using a 3D image-capturing device on two separate occasions with an interval of 1 week between sessions. The images of two sessions were superimposed based on the forehead. For each participant and for each facial expression, a wire mesh fitting was conducted. This method generated 6,017 points on the wire mesh. Intraindividual reliability between sessions for each task was statistically tested by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and the 95% confidence interval minimal detectable change (MDC95).

Results:
The MDC95 for the repeated measures of the rest posture, posed smile, and maximum effort smile exhibited means of 0.8, 1.5, and 1.3 mm, respectively, on the z-axis. The ICCs ranged from substantial to almost perfect agreement for repeated measures for the rest posture and maximum effort smile (0.60 &lt; ICC ≤ 1.00). The right corner of the mouth in the posed smile showed moderate agreement (0.40 &lt; ICC ≤ 0.60).

Conclusions:
The overall test-retest reliability of the maximum effort smile and rest posture showed substantial to almost perfect agreement, and this was clinically acceptable.

ABSTRACTObjectives:To evaluate the long-term effects of seven different cleaning methods on light transmittance, surface roughness, and flexural modulus of a polyurethane retainer material.Materials and Methods:Polyurethane retainer specimens (Vivera®, Align Technology Inc) (70 specimens, n = 10 per method, 50.8 mm × 12.7 mm × 1.0 mm) were exposed to seven cleaning methods twice a week for 6 months. Before treatment and after 6 months, light transmittance, surface roughness, and flexural modulus of the specimens were quantified. Qualitative assessment of randomly selected specimens from each solution was performed at baseline and after 6 months using a scanning electron microscope. Statistical analyses were performed at the .05 significance level.Results:Of the three test variables, light transmittance through the specimens was the only one that changed significantly from baseline to 6 months for all cleaning solutions, with all of them causing a decrease. However, except for 0.6% sodium hypochlorite showing a change in surface roughness values and 2.5% vinegar and toothbrushing showing an increase in flexural modulus, none of the other four cleaning methods resulted in significant changes in surface roughness or flexural modulus values for the polyurethane specimens between baseline and after 6 months.Conclusions:Of the seven cleaning methods, Invisalign® cleaning crystals, Polident®, and Listerine® showed the least amount of change in light transmittance values for the polyurethane specimens over 6 months, and they had no effect on surface roughness and flexural modulus values.
