Die Macht der Dissimulation
Authors: D’Angelo Paolo 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This paper reconstructs and discusses a shift in meaning that has taken place in the modern history of the concealment of art, a history that begins in classical rhetoric. It first shows how the ars-est-celare-artem doctrine was taken up in the early modern period by authors such as Accetto, Castiglione and Gracián and translated into a concept of sprezzatura, an art of disguising that has both aesthetic and political implications. The authors in question emphasize the difference between manipulative deception (simulazione) and an ethically acceptable disguise (dissimulazione), a deliberate concealment of one’s own arts, skills and abilities, which on the one hand provides protection in a power-dominated courtly culture, and on the other is linked to the aesthetic ideals of grace and naturalness. The distinction between simulazione and dissimulazione, which was very common in the Baroque period in particular, faded into oblivion in the 18th century. Dissimulation now tended to be fully integrated into the concept of simulation.
Täusch-Verhältnisse. Der „Große Austausch“ als rhetorisches Manöver der Neuen Rechten
Authors: Oberprantacher Andreas 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article focusses on the Great Replacement as that narrative of the New Right that currently constitutes the centerpiece of many inter-related and implicitly or explicitly racist discourses about migrants and refugees. As a discourse, the narrative of a Great Replacement encapsulates and reflects the desire for an „ethnocultural identity“ that is antagonistically realized it in such a way that uncountable others are declared to be (non-identical) „foreign bodies“, so that their violent removal appears justified. The main aim of this article is to assess and criticize the rhetorical and stylistic strategies of the New Right, which repeatedly refer to aspects of an alleged naturalness (the „ethno-plural nature“ of Europe) while attempting to conceal how artificial their argumentation is. In contrast to a dissimulazione onesta, as formulated as a concept by Torquato Accetto, in the case of the Great Replacement one could thus speak of a dissimulazione dis-onesta, i. e. of a constitutive dishonesty or strategic deception.
Ars est celare artes. Zur Rocca di Tristano-Episode in Ariostos Orlando furioso
Authors: Steigerwald Jörn 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The dissimulatio artis follows, at least, two different traditions since antiquity: on the one hand, it is integrated in the tradition of rhetoric, one the other hand, it is part of the ars amatoria. Furthermore, the dissimulatio artis is neither a theoria nor a praxis in the Aristotelian sense, but could be considered as a poiesis. Ariosto takes advantage of this specific status of the dissimulation artis in his Orlando furioso, especially in the Rocca du Tristano-Episode, in order to present its potential to ennoble specific artistic techniques and to transform these techniques into art: ars est celare artes. By doing this, Ariosto creates an ars fabula narrandi that demonstrates its own capacities by using the dissimulatio artis for the presentation of different arts: ars fabula narrandi est celare artes.
Vers pompeux – cadavre oratoire. Rhetorische, galante und dramaturgische Ausformungen der dissimulatio artis im frühneuzeitlichen Theater am Beispiel von Corneilles Pompée
Authors: Seibel Selina 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article understands dissimulatio artis as a link between political rhetoric, early modern courtly behavioural theory and the theatre of the 17th century. Using the example of Pierre Corneille’s Pompée, it is shown that dissimulatio artis found its way into French theatre along two lines of development: On the one hand, dissimulatio artis as the basis of courtly behavioural theory (in Pompée, above all gallantry) becomes a dramatic model of interaction and dialogue; on the other hand, it becomes a category of evaluation in debates on drama theory. To this end, the observations and evaluations of the characters’ politic-rhetorical and gallant dissimulatio artis that take place in the dramatic dialogue are examined at first, which point to the interdependence of early modern savoir-vivre and rhetoric through dissimulatio artis. Finally, Corneille’s poetological writings are used to derive the dissimulation artis as a criterion of drama genesis.
Das Paradoxon der Dissimulation – Über die Notwendigkeit der Täuschung zur Gestaltung von Natürlichkeit in Marivauxʼ Le Jeu de l’amour et du hasard
Authors: Dickhaut Kirsten 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Dissimulation of the human being can never be fully achieved by an actor, as the actor’s body always remains present as a medium. This knowledge of the non-fictional character of the actors and actresses on stage makes the audience accomplices to the performed play. In his Le Jeu de lʼamour et du hasard, Marivaux creates a specific procedure of his poetics based on dissimulation by simply addressing the apparent impossibility of bringing a theater audience into a complete illusion. This way, he can paradoxically use the spectators’ knowledge and exploit it for his own purposes. With this procedure of addressing the purpose in the dialogue, which originates from rhetoric, the play as a procedure is reinforced and naturalized. Marivaux thus cures the deficiency of dissimulation and additionally binds it to an ethical premise that legitimizes the procedure itself and thus also dignifies and intensifies the simulation of the play itself.
What is Roman Reconciliation?
Authors: Dinter Martin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This paper examines in how far modern conceptualisations of peace and reconciliation map onto ancient Roman ideas of pax Romana and Roman reconciliation. Some modern definitions of reconciliation insist on mercy and forgiveness as part of reconciliation; comparing modern with ancient ideas of reconciliation as showcased in this special issue the author suggests to consider Roman reconciliation as coexistence rather than reconciliation in the modern sense.
Negotiating Collective Land Rights in the Andes: Insights from contrasting trajectories on the Bolivian-Chilean altiplano, 1880s–1930s
Authors: Cottyn Hanne 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article develops a historicising and comparative perspective on the transformation, formalisation, and negotiation of collective land rights in the Andean Highlands. It discusses and compares the trajectories of two highland areas situated across the Bolivian-Chilean border within the context of globally and nationally shifting frontiers of market and state integration since the late 19th century. The case studies demonstrate a striking divergence in the context of the breakthrough of liberal land legislation in Latin America. Communities in the Bolivian province of Carangas were able to resist privatising pressures, while communities of the Arica highlands, once annexed and incorporated in Chile after the War of the Pacific, adjusted to a more homogeneous regime that left little room for communal land relations. Despite the stark contrasts, this article questions simplistic dichotomic framings of the unchallenged “survival” of communal land rights in Bolivia versus complete “disappearance” of communal arrangements in Chile. Empirical archival and ethnographic data point to the social reconfigurations and creative strategies through which the community as a collective legal entity and daily practice transformed. The article sheds light on the causes and longer-term implications of these regional trajectories within the context of a globalising land regime.

Published: November 2024

Graphical AbstractAbstractBackgroundPopulation-based estimates of brain metastases in follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) patients with or without distant metastases (DMs) at diagnosis are lacking.ObjectiveTo study the prevalence of brain metastases in FTC patients and compare gender disparity.MethodsDMs are defined as bone, lung and brain metastases. Using the SEER database, we identified 5116 patients diagnosed with FTC between 2010 and 2019. The incidences of brain metastases were calculated for the entire cohort and among patients with bone/lung metastases. Cohorts were stratified by gender and age.Results4.8% (245) had DMs at diagnosis, primarily in the form of bone metastases (3.6%), followed by lung metastases (2.4%). The incidence of brain metastases at initial diagnosis was only 0.37% (17 females and 2 males) but occurred in 8.2 and 6.1% of patients with bone metastases and lung metastases, respectively. Median survival for patients with brain metastases was only 8.0 months (95% CI: 4.1–11.9). Interestingly, female patients with bone metastases exhibited a significantly higher incidence of brain metastases compared to males (12.0 vs 1.5%), with a notable odds ratio (OR) of 8.971 (95% CI: 1.152–69.835) in univariate analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that being female (OR: 10.08, 95% CI: 1.243–81.748) was the sole statistically significant risk factor for brain metastases in FTC patients with bone metastases at diagnosis.ConclusionAn incidence of brain metastases is observed in newly diagnosed FTC patients with DMs, especially in females with bone involvement. Our findings advocate for the early detection of brain metastases in female FTC patients with concurrent bone metastases at diagnosis.
Effect of agitation during the early-age hydration on thixotropy and morphology of cement paste
Authors: Zhang Kun , Mezhov Alexander , Schmidt Wolfram 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe effect of agitation during the early-age hydration on thixotropy and morphology of cement paste prepared with and without superplasticizers (SP) is investigated by applying penetration test, small amplitude oscillatory shear sweep test (SAOS), isothermal calorimetric test, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analyses (EDX). The results show that the agitation of cement paste during the induction period increases the heat flow rate and destroys existing structures of samples without changing the mineral composition of samples. Yet, if the agitation is applied during the acceleration period, the heat flow rate is significantly lowered and the morphology and mineral composition of samples undergo irreversible change, freshly formed syngenite is destroyed and no longer restored. The penetration force and the static yield stress grow linearly during the induction period and exponentially during the acceleration period. Agitation during the induction period destroys the structure, which causes the static yield stress and the penetration force values becoming nearly equal to zero. However, during the acceleration period, even after agitation the static yield stress and the penetration force exhibit high residual values, which indicates the impact of hydration to the structural build-up.
Racialización y engenerización: Canarias desde un enfoque descolonial
Authors: Pérez Flores Larisa 
Published: November 2024

Canarias desempeña un rol fundamental en los orígenes de la modernidad. Frente a la revisión histórica decolonial que sitúa los orígenes de esta etapa en 1492, con la llegada de Colón a ‘las Indias’, propongo este archipiélago africano como punto de partida para pensar las transformacionesinherentes a la empresa colonial inaugurada por la cristiandad latina. Los procesos de asimilación cultural que implicó esta empresa fueron relativamente rápidos en el archipiélago, pero nunca generaron un producto identitario homogéneo, ni se recrearon sin resistencias. Aún entendiendo que se trató de un proceso de transculturación, donde los trasvases fueron multidireccionales, sostengo que ni se preservaron las partes originales que entraron en el encuentro, ni estas se fusionaron en un todo armónico, en este caso: lo canario. Mi contribución en este artículo es tratar de ofrecer un marco interpretativo desde el que estos procesos identitarios cobren una dimensión más compleja y problemática a partir de las nociones de ‘criollización’, ‘racialización’, y ‘engenerización’.
The Canary Islands play a fundamental role in the origins of modernity. In contrast to the decolonial historical review that places the origins of this stage in 1492, with the arrival of Columbus in ‘the Indies’, I propose this African archipelago as a starting point for thinking about the transformationsinherent to the colonial enterprise inaugurated by Latin Christendom. The processes of cultural assimilation implied by this enterprise were relatively rapid in the archipelago, but they never generated a homogeneous identity product, nor were they recreated without resistance. Even understanding that it was a process of transculturation, where the transfers were multidirectional, I maintain that neither the original parts that entered the encounter were preserved, nor did they merge into a harmonious whole, in this case: the ‘canarianness’. My contribution in this article is to try to offer an interpretative framework from which these identity processes take on a more complex dimension from the notions of ‘creolisation’, ‘racialisation’, and ‘genderisation’.

Authors: Deepthi Chandaka , Vangapandu Triveni , Ganisetti Anitha , Ganesh Pushpalatha 
Published: November 2024

Background: Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is an important vegetable crop that belongs to family malvaceae and is grown both in tropical and subtropical regions of India. In north-coastal Andhra Pradesh, okra is cultivated frequently so, optimizing the nutrient management practice is an efficient method for increasing yield. Among those practices, foliar fertilizers, mulching and irrigation methods are essential in maximizing the yield and quality of okra. Therefore, the present investigation deals with the combined effects of foliar nutrients, mulching and irrigation methods, providing valuable data for sustainable okra production in a particular area. Methods: The present investigation was conducted during June to September 2023, with seven different treatments using randomized block design. This experiment mainly focuses on combinations of mulching and foliar sprays of 19:19:19 and 13:0:45 at different concentrations. Collected data were analyzed using ANOVA and fisher’s least significant difference test at a 5% significance level. Result: Among all the treatments, 100% RDF along with the foliar application of 19:19:19 @ 1.0% + 13:0:45 @ 2% at 30, 45 and 60 days after sowing has proven the best treatment, where it recorded the highest yield of 101 q per hectare (Q/ha) due to the application of sufficient nutrients. Whereas, the lowest yield was recorded with control plot due to insufficient nutrient supply in relation to growth and yield parameters.

Authors: Mahmoudi Majid , Amiri Seyedreza , Motlagh Bahareh Parsa 
Published: November 2024

Background: Chickpea is a prominent leguminous crop cultivated in the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region. Historically, it is planted during the spring season as a rainfed crop in the area, characterized by its unpredictable and frequently inadequate precipitation. Methods: To examine the impact of various levels of irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer on the yield and yield components of the Adel cultivar of chickpea, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with four replications at the research farm in Esfarayen Region in Khorasan-Iran (36.92 N, 57.55E) throughout the 2022 and 2023 growing seasons. The experimental treatments included three levels of nitrogen: 30, 75 and 150 kg ha-1 as urea fertilizer. The irrigation was applied at three levels: full irrigation, one supplementary irrigation at the flowering stage and two supplementary irrigations at the flowering and pod filling stages. The studied traits included grain yield, biological yield, the number of pods per plant, and the number of seeds per pod. Result: Our results showed that different levels of irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer had a significant effect on the number of seeds per pod, pods per plant and biological and grain yield. The interaction effect of irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer was significant for all studied traits. In this study, the interaction between the full irrigation treatment and 75 kg N ha-1 resulted in a significant increase in all traits (except biological yield) compared to other treatments. Furthermore, one irrigation at the flowering stage with 150 kg N ha-1 caused a significant decrease in all of the studied traits. The combination of full irrigation and 150 kg N ha-1 treatment had the highest biological yield (8.9 t ha-1), while its grain yield was 1854 kg ha-1. Therefore, by maintaining moisture levels during the critical period of chickpea growth and utilizing balanced nutritional levels, particularly nitrogen at rates of 30 and 75 kg ha-1, the yield of chickpea can be increased.

Published: November 2024

Aim: Strains with high bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity have the potential to regulate cholesterol metabolism. This study aimed to assess the alleviating effect of Lactobacillus johnsonii (L. johnsonii ) CCFM1376, a strain with high BSH activity, on mice with hypercholesterolemia and explore the mechanism of its effect through the modulation of bile acid metabolism.
Methods: The BSH activity was measured using the ninhydrin method. C57BL/6J mice were given a high-cholesterol diet to induce hypercholesterolemia with simultaneous gavage of L. johnsonii CCFM1376 for 8 weeks. The biochemical parameters in the serum and liver of hypercholesterolemic mice were measured to assess the alleviating effect of L. johnsonii CCFM1376 on hypercholesterolemia. Bile acid content in the mouse liver, serum, distal ileum contents, and feces was determined using liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer (LC-MS). RNA was extracted from mouse ileum and liver, and the expression levels of relative genes implicated in bile acid metabolism were measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR).
Results: Compared to the model group, the group treated with L. johnsonii CCFM1376 exhibited significantly reduced levels of serum total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), along with a significant increase in high density lipoproteins cholesterol (HDL-C) level. Moreover, hepatic levels of TC and LDL-C in the CCFM1376 group also decreased significantly. Furthermore, the content and amount of unconjugated bile acids in the hepatic-enteric circulation of the L. johnsonii CCFM1376 group significantly increased, and the total bile acid content in the feces also significantly increased. In the L. johnsonii CCFM1376 group, the relative expression levels of ileal farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and fibroblast growth factor 15 (FGF15) were downregulated, while the relative expression level of CYP7A1 was upregulated.
Conclusion: These results indicated L. johnsonii CCFM1376 improves hypercholesterolemia in mice by regulating the composition of bile acids. This provides a reference for probiotic strategy to regulate cholesterol metabolism.
Assessing the grey water footprint of pesticide use in the Mendoza wine region (Argentina): implications for sustainable water resources management
Authors: Farreras Verónica , Lana Belén , Astorga Oscar 
Published: November 2024

This paper assesses the impact of viticulture on water resource quality in the Mendoza wine region using the grey water footprint (GWF) approach to estimate the amount of water required to dilute pesticides commonly used in local vineyards. Our analysis indicates that to progress towards sustainable water management in viticulture, limiting or replacing pesticides with high GWF values is essential. We provide detailed results for 24 fungicides, 7 insecticides, and 7 herbicides, assessed at both microregion and district levels, offering insights into pesticide impacts across both detailed and broader spatial scales. At the microregion level, the herbicide Fluroxypyr-meptyl was found to have the highest GWF (1.10 m³ kg-1), followed by the fungicide Fosetyl-aluminium (0.59 m³ kg-1) and the insecticide Imidacloprid (0.41 m³ kg-1). Our findings also show that pesticide impacts vary at the district level, highlighting the need for localised management strategies. Additionally, the significant variability in GWFs at the local level underscores the necessity for region-specific water quality standards to more accurately assess and manage the environmental impact of pesticide use. This study provides a framework for similar assessments in other viticultural regions, aiding in the development of more informed pesticide management to enhance water resource sustainability.
Tunnel Seismic Detection for Tunnel Boring Machine by Joint Active and Passive Source Method and Imaging Advanced Prediction

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Tunnel seismic advanced prediction method enables the detection of anomalous bodies in front of the tunnel face and the reduction of tunnel construction risk. The active source and the passive source detection methods are two commonly used for imaging advanced prediction of tunnel boring machine (TBM). Although both methods achieve good results, each method still has room for improvement. The active detection method is not conducive to long-distance detection because the sources are generally far away from the anomalous bodies and the received signals are weak. The passive detection method usually produces results of low resolution and with limited forecast precision. Since the active and passive source methods are applied separately, the geophone utilization rate is low and the cost is high. Moreover, both methods have low signal-to-noise ratio and low imaging resolution for single detection data. To overcome the above drawbacks, this article proposes a joint TBM tunnel seismic detection method and an imaging advanced prediction method to detect anomalous bodies in medium and long distances. The advanced prediction employs multiple stacking schemes to enhance the reflection wave energy of the anomalous bodies and suppress the interference wave. The proposed method integrates the active source data into the passive source method to extract the P- and S-waves. The joint active and passive source method further incorporates multiple stack schemes to achieve much higher resolution imaging and provides more accurate detection results. Moreover, the proposed joint method allows multiple utilization of the geophone and reduces the cost. Simulation results are presented for performance verification.
