Towards an explanation of the syntax of West Germanic particle verbs: A cognitive-pragmatic view
Authors: Berg Thomas 
Published: October 2018

AbstractWhile the unusual behaviour of particle verbs in West Germanic has been the subject of much debate, it still awaits a substantive explanation. These verbs undergo reversal and/or intercalation subject to such syntactic constraints as finiteness and clause type. Situated within Prototype Theory, this study defines the relevant grammatical categories in terms of varying degrees of syntacticity (i.e., sentence-likeness vs. word-likeness) of which cohesiveness is a major indicator. The higher the cohesiveness of a given category, the more resistant it is to syntactic processes. The following scale of increasing cohesiveness is proposed: main clauses, finite verbs, subordinate clauses, non-finite verbs, nouns. Thus, reversal and intercalation are found in the leftward, though not in the rightward categories. This scale is pragmatically motivated. Generally speaking, main clauses are communicatively more important than subordinate clauses. Therefore, the former require a wider choice of expressive means such as reversal and intercalation than the latter. The availability of syntactic options is argued to be an iconic reflection of communicative needs.
Composing for Improvisers: Negotiating the Issue of Individual Voice
Authors: Hunter Anton 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
This paper addresses one aspect of my Practice as Research project exploring composing for large groups of improvising musicians. It looks at how my practice evolved as a result of contemplating the nature of solo improvisation, together with Garry L. Hagberg’s writings around “Collective Intention.” I discuss a new work for octet that started with small-group improvisations, initially totally freely and then later using thematic material inspired and informed by the initial sessions. By basing the finished compositions on improvisations this way, I aim to bring the creative voice of the individuals into final performance. Not just by employing the compositional techniques of the likes of Graham Collier, John Zorn, Anthony Braxton and many others who allow room for realtime improvised contributions in performance, but by weaving the unique voices of the musicians into the written material as well. In this way, I am challenging the stereotype of a lone composer working away from the ensemble, which the contemporary big band composer often fits.
La vesta, ch’al gran dì sarà sì chiara: Dante, Michelangelo und das Jüngste Gericht
Authors: Ott Christine 
Published: October 2018

Riassunto
Dopo un’introduzione al dibattito medievale sul giudizio universale e la risurrezione dei corpi, il contributo analizza l’immaginario della »vesta« all’interno della concezione dantesca della risurrezione. Sebbene l’ammonizione di Catone, che in Purg. II esorta le anime a »spogliarsi« di un involucro ingombrante, sembri propagare una condanna del corpo come fonte di peccato, la concezione dantesca vede la felicità ultraterrena (e risurrezionale) in una riunione di corpo e anima, la »doppia vesta« di Par. XXV. Anche in Michelangelo si incontra spesso l’immaginario del vestito o della pelle come simboli di una condizione peccaminosa di cui l’uomo deve »spogliarsi« per accedere alla felicità ultraterrena. La pelle del peccatore ha trovato una concretizzazione pittorica impressionante nel celebre autoritratto che Michelangelo ha nascosto nella pelle di san Bartolomeo, nel Giudizio universale della Sistina. Impossibile decidere se essa raffiguri l’involucro dell’uomo »vecchio«, che va eliminato per accedere alla via eterna, oppure un qualcosa che »va salvato«. Altrettanto impossibile dire se l’artista volesse esprimere una sorta di auto-condanna oppure la speranza di poter risorgere lasciando dietro di sé la propria natura di peccatore. Nella lirica michelangiolesca il discorso non è affatto più semplice. Accanto alle liriche improntate a un dualismo neoplatonico di anima e corpo, vi sono altre che trattano la tematica della risurrezione in maniera frivola, concettistica, celebrando la bellezza di un giovane amato, che anche dopo la morte dovrà risorgere tale quale e che darà conforto alle altre anime – in paradiso oppure in inferno. Il tono spirituale e quello amoroso possono anche essere intimamente connessi, come si mostrerà infine in base al sonetto D’altrui pietoso. In questo testo segnato da reminiscenze dantesche e petrarchesche, un’io lirico esprime il desiderio di lasciare la propria pelle per rivestirne l’amato – che a sua volte appare contemporaneamente come essere terreno e come figura di Dio.
Zwischen Unsterblichkeit und Auferstehung: das körperliche Jenseits der Göttlichen Komödie
Authors: Gragnolati Manuele 
Published: October 2018

Riassunto
Questo articolo esplora il concetto di »antropologia escatologica« nella Commedia. In un primo tempo verranno presentati i cambiamenti che caratterizzano la concezione escatologica dell’Occidente cristiano a partire dal XII secolo e che si realizzano pienamente nel poema dantesco. Si discuteranno in seguito due modelli antropologici discussi dalla filosofia scolastica a partire degli ultimi decenni del XIII secolo: quello più tradizionale della pluralità delle forme e quello più innovativo dell’unità della forma. In una terza parte si analizzerà la posizione originale presa da Dante all’interno del dibattito filosofico contemporaneo quando nel XXV canto del Purgatorio la figura di Stazio dà una lunga spiegazione sulla formazione dell’anima razionale nell’embrione umano: se infatti la dottina embriologica presentata da Stazio si apre con i dettami della dottrina della pluralità delle forme, essa si conclude secondo i principi dell’unità della forma. La Commedia può così immaginare che quando l’anima si separa dal corpo e giunge nell’aldilà, può crearsi un corpo d’aria che le permette di avere tanto una forma (»veduta«) quanto tutti i sensi (»ciascun sentire«), così che anche senza il suo corpo terreno l’anima può comunque avere una piena esperienza sensoriale dell’aldilà. L’ultima parte dell’articolo mostra come nonostante questa esperienza dei sensi permessa all’anima dal corpo aereo nel periodo tra la morte fisica e la fine dei tempi, la Commedia continui a considerare il Giudizio Universale e la Resurrezione del corpo come gli eventi finali in cui l’essere umano ritroverà la sua pienezza veramente corporea e di conseguenza la sua esperienza dell’aldilà sarà veramente completa e definitiva.
Infernale Landschaften: Wie Dantes Commedia das Bild des Weltgerichts in Italien verändert
Authors: Holler Theresa 
Published: October 2018

Riassunto
Questo contributo discute due cicli pittorici del Trecento raffiguranti il Giudizio universale: quello attribuito a Buonamico Buffalmacco nel Camposanto di Pisa, e quello di Nardo di Cione nella Cappella Strozzi di Mantova a Santa Maria Novella di Firenze, nei quali il testo della Commedia di Dante è adottato per mettere a punto una rappresentazione visiva efficace dell’inferno. Il fatto che l’opera dantesca modifichi l’immagine dell’aldilà nella penisola italiana è sempre stato spiegato invocando la popolarità stessa del testo, senza tenere in debito conto il fatto che la sua apparizione e circolazione non furono accolte senza problemi e reticenze. Vennero infatti espresse anche posizioni critiche nei confronti di Dante e dei suoi scritti, su questi ultimi soprattutto da parte dei domenicani, eppure entrambi i cicli in esame vennero realizzati in contesti legati, direttamente o indirettamente, ai frati predicatori. Il presente contributo vuole mettere in dubbio la teoria, generalmente accettata senza discussione, che vede nella precoce adozione della Commedia nell’immaginario del Giudizio universale un segno della sua ricezione senz’altro positiva. Fu così, oppure le immagini in cui si tradusse il testo dantesco ci parlano in un linguaggio ambiguo?
Das erste Gericht
Authors: Lechtermann Christina 
Published: October 2018

Riassunto
Accanto alle narrazioni premoderne del Giudizio universale e a quelle di ›giudizi‹ particolari più o meno ›personalizzati‹, troviamo motivi che mettono in scena anche altri aspetti della soteriologia nell’ambito di ›contrasti‹ formalizzati, oppure si appoggiano decisamente a modelli testuali giuridici. La posizione particolare che spetta al Giudizio universale è così inserita in un contesto di una serie di ›giudizi‹, nei quali si dibatte – in forma narrativa – del destino dell’uomo nell’età premoderna.
Dies irae, dies illa – Memento mori im Angesicht des Jüngsten Gerichts
Authors: Bruggisser-Lanker Therese 
Published: October 2018

Riassunto
Fin dalla sua comparsa, la sequenza del Dies irae ebbe una posizione ambivalente, e con il suo immaginario angoscioso, irrevocabilmente legato all’apocalisse di Giovanni, è presto diventata una cifra del giudizio universale, lasciando profonde tracce nella storia della mentalità medievale. Nel contesto della messa da requiem tuttavia i compositori la integrarono fin dal Cinquecento, attraverso l’impiego di simbologie celesti, nel concetto dell’armonia, nel quale entrarono anche processi di soggettivazione e una nuova dinamica della creatività.
Existentielle Zwitter
Authors: Heimgartner Stephanie 
Published: October 2018

Riassunto
Nell’Inferno dantesco, chi separa volontariamente il corpo dall’anima con l’atto del suicidio, deve consapevolmente sopportare la disgrazia di uno stato puramente vegetativo, che secondo la classificazione scolastica sarebbe privo di coscienza. Questa metamorfosi ›contro natura‹ modella la struttura del canto XIII dell’Inferno a livello verbale e retorico, ma anche a livello strutturale: su entrambi i livelli, difatti, si creano dinamiche antitetiche. Tormentando i dannati del canto con antichi mostri quali centauri e arpie, Dante esibisce l’ordine specifico del suo mondo immaginario. Da un lato, infatti, troviamo creature ibride mitico-finzionali provenienti dagli auctores Virgilio e Ovidio; creature che nel loro contesto – sia pure infernale – funzionano senza restrizioni; dall’altro abbiamo mostri ›reali‹, creature esistenzialmente ibride che si sono private volontariamente della loro condizione umana e devono perciò sopportare l’eterna separazione del corpo dall’anima.
Cattolico poeta e padre della nazione: riflessi danteschi nel pensiero politico di Alcide De Gasperi
Authors: Largaiolli Matteo 
Published: October 2018

Zusammenfassung
In der Geschichte der italienischen Politik hat Dante Alighieri seit jeher eine maßgebliche Rolle gespielt. Dem Dichter und ›Vater der italienischen Sprache‹ begegnet man auch bei Alcide De Gasperi. In den politischen Schriften und Reden des italienischen Staatsmannes wird auf Dante nicht nur in rhetorischem Gestus wiederholt zurückgegriffen (z. B. als Signal eines gemeinsamen kulturellen Hintergrunds); Dante steht vielmehr im Mittelpunkt von De Gasperis politischem Denken, wenn es um die Definition und Konstruktion von Identität, um die Zugehörigkeit zur christlichen Kultur sowie um die Veranschaulichung der Rolle eines Christen in der Welt geht. Am Beispiel von De Gasperis Schriften lässt sich die Resonanz der Figur und des Werks Dantes im politischen Diskurs Italiens im 20. Jahrhundert exemplarisch darstellen.

AbstractThe fabrication of magnetically modified electrospun nanocomposite fibers based on a naturally-derived biocompatible and biodegradable polysaccharide chitosan (CS) and the hydrophilic and biocompatible poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) is reported herein. The anchoring of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) onto the surfaces of the electrospun PVP/CS fibers was carried out by a post-magnetization process based on chemical coprecipitation, via immersing the produced fibrous mats in an aqueous solution containing Fe(II) and Fe(III) salts at appropriate molar ratios, followed by the addition of a weak base to yield MNPs. Electron microscopy revealed the presence of continuous micron and submicron fibers surface-decorated with MNPs. The magnetically modified PVP/CS fibers exhibited superparamagnetic behavior at ambient temperature. The magnetic fibrous nanocomposite carrier was employed for the immobilization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells and their use for sucrose hydrolysis, and Candida rugosa lipase and its use for artificial substrate hydrolysis.
“Successful” migration, (English) language skills and global inequality: The case of Bangladeshi migrants to the Middle East
Authors: Erling Elizabeth J. , Chowdhury Qumrul Hasan , Solly Mike , Seargeant Philip 
Published: October 2018

AbstractMigration has become a vital element of the Bangladeshi economy, which has led to an increasing focus on providing Bangladeshis with the skills needed on the international labour market. English is often cited as one of these skills, and previous research has shown that a primary reason why Bangladeshis wish to learn English is due to its perceived value for pursuing work abroad (Erling, Elizabeth J., Philip Seargeant, Mike Solly, Qumrul H Chowdhury, & Sayeedur Rahman. 2012.Attitudes to English as a language for international development in rural Bangladesh. London: British Council. Available online athttp://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/publications/attitudes-english-a-language-international-development-rural-bangladesh.). The extent to which English is of value in economic migration, however, has been underexplored in research (Coleman, Hywel. 2010.The English language in development. London: British Council. Available athttp://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/publications/english-language-development.). Drawing on data from a qualitative study which provides new insights into the experiences and perceptions of a cohort of returnee migrants, this article investigates the perceived value of (English) language skills for migration. The study finds that economic migrants see the advantages of having particular skills, especially English, for economic gain. However, applying a capabilities lens to their narratives (Sen, Amartya. 1999.Development as freedom. Oxford: Oxford University Press.) reveals the difficulties of classifying their experiences in terms of “success” given the deeply embedded structural issues and challenges the participants report facing. This article therefore questions assumptions that language skills can be transformational when social inequality is (re)produced in the context of migration.
Metaphysics or Metaphors for the Anthropocene? Scientific Naturalism and the Agency of Things
Authors: Gamez Patrick 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
In this paper, I provide the outlines of an alternative metaphilosophical orientation for Continental philosophy, namely, a form of scientific naturalism that has proximate roots in the work of Bachelard and Althusser. I describe this orientation as an “alternative” insofar as it provides a framework for doing justice to some of the motivations behind the recent revival of metaphysics in Continental philosophy, in particular its ecological-ethical motivations. In the second section of the paper, I demonstrate how ecological-ethical issues motivate new metaphysicians like Bruno Latour, Jane Bennett, Timothy Morton, Ian Bogost, and Graham Harman to impute to objects real features of agency. I also try to show how their commitments lead to deep ambiguities in their metaphysical projects. In the final section, I outline a type of scientific naturalism in Continental philosophy that parallels the sort of naturalism championed by Quine, both conceptually and historically, and suggest that it might serve our ecological-ethical purposes better.
Energy transfer in liquid and solid nanoobjects: application in luminescent analysis
Authors: Smirnova T. D. , Shtykov S. N. , Zhelobitskaya E. A. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Radiationless resonance electronic excitation energy transfer (ET) is a fundamental physical phenomenon in luminescence spectroscopy playing an important role in natural processes, especially in photosynthesis and biochemistry. Besides, it is widely used in photooptics, optoelectronics, and protein chemistry, coordination chemistry of transition metals and lanthanides as well as in luminescent analysis. ET involves the transfer of electronic energy from a donor (D) (molecules or particles) which is initially excited, to an acceptor (A) at the ground state to emit it later. Fluorescence or phosphorescence of the acceptor that occurs during ET is known as sensitized. There do many kinds of ET exist but in all cases along with other factors the rate and efficiency of ET in common solvents depends to a large extent on the distance between the donor and the acceptor. This dependency greatly limits the efficiency of ET and, correspondingly, does not allow the determination of analytes in highly diluted (10–9–10–15 M) solutions. To solve the problem of distance-effect, the effects of concentrating and bring close together the donor and acceptor in surfactant micelles (liquid nanosystems) or sorption on solid nanoparticles are used. Various approaches to promote the efficiency of ET for improvement determination selectivity and sensitivity using liquid and solid nanoobjects is reviewed and analyzed.
A comparative analysis of British and American Society of Echocardiography recommendations for the assessment of left ventricular diastolic function
Authors: Luke P. , Eggett C. , Spyridopoulos I. , Irvine T. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
At present there are two recognised guidelines for the echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular diastolic function provided by the British Society of Echocardiography and American Society of Echocardiography/European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging. However, no direct comparison of these guidelines has been performed to establish whether they provide similar diastolic grading. One hundred and eighty-nine consecutive patients in sinus rhythm who underwent transthoracic echocardiography for a primary indication of either heart failure assessment or assessment of left ventricular systolic function were extracted from our database (McKesson Cardiology). Left ventricular diastolic function assessment was performed using both guidelines and the results were compared. Chi-square, Kappa score and one-way ANOVA were used to evaluate the data at a level of P < 0.05. The most frequent outcome was unclassifiable diastolic function with significantly more patients being labelled unclassified with the British compared to American guidelines (47.4 vs 20.5%, P < 0.0001). Having excluded all unclassifiable patients, a significant difference still existed between the two guidelines with a higher proportion of grade one outcomes awarded by the ASE/EACVI guidelines. When grading subcategories were individually compared, there was significantly more grade one diastolic gradings awarded by American compared to the British guidelines (40.7 vs 20.1%, P < 0.0001). In 47% of patients it was not possible to grade diastolic function using the British guidelines, compared to 21% using the American guidelines. For those patients where grading was possible, there was a significant difference in patients classified with normal and grade one diastolic function when using British and American guidelines.

The coverage of the gold nanoshells on the surfaces of the silica NPs was evaluated using surface plasmon resonance spectra and scanning electron microscope.
SMOKING CESSATION COUNSELLING
Authors: Maksimov D. M. 
Published: October 2018

Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of premature morbidity and death in the world and it is responsible for approximately 15 years of healthy life lost. The world average smoking prevalence is 21% (35% for men and 6% for women), with the worst situation in low- and middle-income countries. In the Russian Federation, 31% of adults smoke (51% of men and 14% of women); meanwhile in the last decade the prevalence of smoking declines by about 1% per year. From a clinical standpoint, smoking is a behavioral disorder caused by psychophysical dependence from nicotine. Tobacco dependence is associated with the characteristic smoking habits and withdrawal symptoms that prevent successful cessation. The role of physician is to identify smokers on a regular basis, increase their readiness to quit, and support them during a quit attempt. Smoking status should be assessed in any patient who seeks medical care. All tobacco users should be encouraged to quit in a clear and personalized manner. The further content of medical care is determined by the patient’s willingness to make a quit attempt. For those who are not ready to discuss smoking cessation, physician should express readiness to help in a quit attempt at any time. For the patients who are not ready to quit at this time, physician should initiate brief motivational intervention and discuss possible benefits of smoking cessation and obstacles to successful quitting. For those who are ready to quit, physician provides behavioral counselling and prescribes medications (nicotine replacement therapy or nicotinic receptor partial agonists). At the follow-up visits in a week and a month after the quit date, physician should discuss treatment effectiveness and problems with smoking habits. For continued smokers physician should reassess their readiness to quit at the following visits and repeat motivational interviewing. Screening tests for smoking-related diseases should be recommended when necessary.
