Contemporary thought in the field of history: ethnographic notes
Authors: Piasek Wojciech 
Published: November 2024

Translated by Barbara Komorowska

In contrast to the already published works in which I implement the ‘programme’ of the ethnography of historical thought, in this book, I have shifted the emphasis from ethnographic descriptions and thinking by means of large issues to thinking about great issues.

Shifting the emphasis makes it possible to give a dimension of perceived realism to large issues – to think realistically and specifically about them. At the same time, it causes a change in the nature of ethnographic descriptions. They are no longer so ‘thick’. This means that this work is neither an autotelic nor a mixed case study. What I present in this monograph is an analysis of ethnographic information. It makes it possible to get to know the people from which it comes, as much as it makes it possible to primarily know the cultural world in which we all live.

Ethnographic information comes from conference statements and views expressed in discussions and monographs. Usually, I extract non-key statements from them from the point of view of their authors. Being specific social events, they are explored and treated as telling something about large issues present in the study of the past.
A Quantum-Inspired Bilevel Optimization Algorithm for the First Responder Network Design Problem

Published: November 2024

In the aftermath of a sudden catastrophe, first responders (FRs) strive to reach and rescue immobile victims. Simultaneously, civilians use the same roads to evacuate, access medical facilities and shelters, or reunite with their relatives via private vehicles. The escalated traffic congestion can significantly hinder critical FR operations. A proposal from the Türkiye Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is to allocate a lane on specific road segments exclusively for FR use, mark them clearly, and precommunicate them publicly. For a successful implementation of this proposal, an FR path should exist from designated entry points to each FR demand point in the network. The reserved FR lanes along these paths will be inaccessible to evacuees, potentially increasing evacuation times. Hence, in this study, we aim to determine a subset of links along which an FR lane should be reserved and analyze the resulting evacuation flow under evacuees’ selfish routing behavior. We introduce this problem as the first responder network design problem (FRNDP) and formulate it as a mixed-integer nonlinear program. To efficiently solve FRNDP, we introduce a novel bilevel nested heuristic, the Graver augmented multiseed algorithm (GAMA) within GAMA, called GAGA. We test GAGA on synthetic graph instances of various sizes as well as scenarios related to a potential Istanbul earthquake. Our comparisons with a state-of-the-art exact algorithm for network design problems demonstrate that GAGA offers a promising alternative approach and highlights the need for further exploration of quantum-inspired computing to tackle complex real-world problems.

Poscolonialismo y Selectividad Racial en el Sistema Punitivo Brasileño: Un Análisis Criminológico del Paradigma del Encarcelamiento Masivo
Authors: Bora Siddharth 
Published: November 2024

La racionalidad neoliberal, caracterizada por la expansión impulsada por el lucro y la mercantilización, devalúa la vida humana. En las economías neoliberales del sur, el sistema de justicia penal sirve como un mecanismo de control social, arraigado en las desigualdades raciales y manifestado a través de la segregación social, la discriminación y la separación espacial. Este artículo examina los dictados de la actual crisis carcelaria en Brasil, explorando sus fundamentos históricos, sociales, económicos y raciales. Nuestro análisis de los procesos históricos que condujeron a este escenario, desde la colonización hasta el período imperial, el período de la República y las dos dictaduras que marcaron el país, concluyó que la construcción del pensamiento punitivo es un proceso continuo que permea toda la formación del estado-nación. Al alinearse con varias teorías criminológicas, el estudio tiene como objetivo proponer nuevas perspectivas sobre el tema. Ver la selectividad racial en el sistema penitenciario de Brasil a través de una lente poscolonial revela desigualdades e injusticias perdurables. Este estudio busca profundizar la comprensión de las dinámicas estructurales que perpetúan la crisis carcelaria en Brasil.

L'Armentera: repressió política a un poble de l'Alt Empordà. El cas d'en Joan Blanch Puig
Authors: Pagès i Blanch Pelai 
Published: November 2024

L’article se centra en la repressió franquista, en la immediata postguerra, que va tenir lloc a l’Armentera, un poble de l’Alt Empordà, on durant la guerra no es va produir cap víctima mortal. La qual cosa fou una de les característiques més emblemàtiques d’aquesta població. A desgrat de tot, acabada la guerra, foren empresonats, jutjats i condemnats en consell de guerra les persones que havien jugat un paper important durant el conflicte bèl·lic, especialment Joan Blanch Puig, que havia estat president del sindicat de pagesos i secretari del Consell d’Administració i confiscació de béns. Condemnat a 20 anys de presó, de seguida es va posar en funcionament un procés perquè se li commutés la pena, en el que hi varen intervenir diverses personalitats locals, membres de la Falange Española. A desgrat de tot, la commutació va arribar molt tard i no fou fins a començaments de gener de 1943, que en Joan Blanch va poder sortir de la presó.
La figura de la costurera en la literatura popular argentina de la primera mitad del siglo XX: un ejemplo de regulación femenina
Authors: Caldo Paula , Pulido Aldana 
Published: November 2024

En la cultura argentina de la primera mitad del siglo XX circularon una serie de relatos breves de ficción que apuntaron a regular la moral y la conducta de las mujeres de los sectores populares poniendo el foco en un tipo de mujer en particular: la costurera. En el presente artículo, nos posicionamos desde la historia cultural con perspectiva de género para revisar cinco de esos relatos y preguntarnos cómo un saber-hacer que la cultura occidental asoció con las mujeres, al comenzar a producirse en el espacio público y para el mercado, se sitúa en un límite de respetabilidad que pone a sus practicantes femeninas en el ojo de las regulaciones sociales.

Optimization of nitrogen split application in sweet corn (Zea mays L. saccharata)
Authors: Yasasri Landa , Majumder Sitabhra , Shankar Tanmoy , Paul Sujay Kumar , Ray Sumit 
Published: November 2024

Effective nitrogen management is essential for improving crop development and yield, especially in the cultivation of sweet corn. Conventional basal nitrogen application often leads to nitrogen loss through volatilization and denitrification. To address this issue, split nitrogen application has emerged as a promising strategy to improve nitrogen use efficiency while minimizing losses. In the summer of 2022, this experiment was carried out at the Post Graduate Research Farm of M.S. Swaminathan School of Agriculture, Paralakhemundi, Gajapati, Odisha, India to examine the effects of several nitrogen split application treatments on the growth and productivity of sweet corn. The experiment utilized a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 10 treatments replicated thrice. Treatments included combinations of nitrogen application timings and amounts, ranging from the basal application to split applications at knee-high and tasseling stages. Results demonstrated that the treatment involving 25 % basal nitrogen, 50 % nitrogen at knee high stage and 25 % nitrogen at tasseling stage significantly maximized growth, yield and income compared to other treatments. Consequently, sweet corn cultivators in southern Odisha seeking to attain maximal development and yield should implement this nitrogen split application strategy. This study underscores the importance of tailored nitrogen management strategies in enhancing crop performance and economic returns in sweet corn cultivation.
Clinical applications of circulating tumor cell detection: challenges and strategies
Authors: Ma Chunhui , Li Yang , Zhu Hai , Li Zhiyong , Liu Yi 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are pivotal in the distant metastasis of tumors, serving as one of the primary materials for liquid biopsy. They hold significant clinical importance in assessing prognosis, predicting efficacy, evaluating therapeutic outcomes, and studying recurrence, metastasis, and resistance mechanisms in cancer patients. Nevertheless, the rareness and heterogeneity of CTC and the complexity of metastasis make the clinical application of CTC detection confront many challenges, which may need to be settled by some practical strategies. This article will review the content mentioned above.
Pre-analytical stability of haematinics, lactate dehydrogenase and phosphate in whole blood at room temperature up to 24 h, and refrigerated serum stability of lactate dehydrogenase, folate and vitamin B12 up to 72 h using the CRESS checklist
Authors: Williams Robert , Jankute Monika , Ifrahim Rizwan , Cordle Jane , Hepburn Sophie 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Objectives
There is a lack of analyte stability data in whole blood (WB). The aim of this study was to determine the allowable delay in WB processing for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), folate, vitamin B12, iron and phosphate measurement. The stability of LDH, folate and vitamin B12 was also assessed in stored serum at clinically relevant time points.

Methods
Blood was taken from n=10 volunteers into Sarstedt serum gel tubes. We assessed stability in WB at room temperature up to 24 h, and stability in refrigerated serum up to 72 h. Mean percentage deviation at each time point was compared to criteria for minimum allowable bias.

Results
Results produced from one individual were removed due to discordant results, leaving n=9 specimens at each time point. Stability of folate and phosphate was variable in WB across 24 h, but was deemed to be clinically acceptable. LDH was unstable in WB, iron was stable for at least 12 h, and vitamin B12 and ferritin were acceptable for up to 24 h. Serum LDH, folate and vitamin B12 all demonstrated acceptable stability in refrigerated serum stored for up to 72 h.

Conclusions
Blood should ideally be centrifuged within 7 h for phosphate, LDH and folate, and 12 h for iron. However, for phosphate, folate and iron, there is likely to be little clinical impact if serum separation is delayed up to 24 h. Further research is needed to assess LDH stability in WB at 0–12 h, but changes are minimal at 12 h. All other analytes assessed showed acceptable stability across the time-points tested.
Understanding CFL Learners’ Perceptions of ChatGPT for L2 Chinese Learning: A Technology Acceptance Perspective
Authors: Sun Jialing , Wang Yanyan 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
While ChatGPT has received increasing attention in the age of artificial intelligence, little effort has been made to investigate Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) learners’ acceptance of ChatGPT use for Chinese learning. This mixed-method study aims to unpack CFL learners’ intentions and perceptions of leveraging ChatGPT for learning purposes by integrating the technology acceptance model and social cognitive theory. To this end, quantitative data were collected from 120 CFL learners by using questionnaires tapping into perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, behavioral intention, facilitating conditions, and growth mindset, and analyzed by partial least squares structural equation modeling. Quantitative data were supplemented by qualitative data in the form of learners’ responses to an open-ended question. Quantitative results indicated that perceived usefulness, growth mindset, and facilitating conditions were significant antecedents of learners’ intention to use ChatGPT, while perceived ease of use was not. The qualitative findings revealed students’ varied perspectives on integrating ChatGPT into the Chinese learning process. The study sheds light on the underlying mechanisms of CFL learners’ behavioral intention to use ChatGPT and provides context-specific and nuanced insights into CFL learners’ perceptions of ChatGPT-assisted language learning.
Ich fühle, dass ich nichts fühle: Eine Gefühlspolitik für den Weltzustand Technik
Authors: Müller Christopher J. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article tracks the wider politics of emotion that run through the work of Günther Anders. It conceptualises the emergence of “anaesthetic violence”, a feel-good, or even unsensed form of power that configures around user-friendly devices. Anders’ mapping of the sense of inferiority, obsolescence and humiliating dependency our devices can invoke in us is gaining scholarly traction, but his work also exposes anaesthetic structures of feeling that merit further consideration. To open this perspective, the first part develops the quasi-Socratic formula “I feel that I feel nothing” through a detailed reading of the politics of emotion in Anders’ work. This provides the pretext for an outlook on the anaesthetic dimension of human-machine interaction in the context of digital technologies.
Ikonomanie, apriorische Bedingungsformen, Psychotechnik
Authors: Bösel Bernd 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In his 1956 essay “Die Welt als Phantom und Matrize”, Günther Anders provided a thorough interpretation of radio and television. Far from just being a time-specific document of early electronic mass media, it still continues to provide insights into how human experience is changed through each new technical medium. This will be illustrated via three critical concepts proposed by Anders. He coined the term “iconomania” to conceptualise the ongoing medial shift from a writing-based to a primarily visual culture. “A priori conditional forms” is Anders’ way of getting a grasp on the structural influence of mass production and mass media on human perception and behaviour. The term “psychotechnics” was originally introduced by Anders’ father, William Stern, for early forms of applied psychology. Anders adopted it in a critical fashion in his warnings of an all-encompassing power of reshaping psychical functions that proves especially fruitful when applied to contemporary design principles. Finally, Anders’ media theory will be briefly compared to Shane Denson’s recent work on “discorrelation” between human perception and digital images.
Origin of Late Cretaceous A-type granitoids in South China: Response to the rollback and retreat of the Paleo-Pacific plate
Authors: Tian Meng-Yu , Di Yong-Jun , Yang Ming-Jian 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The Late Cretaceous granitic rocks are widely distributed in South China; however, the precise geodynamic mechanism remains controversial. To solve this question, we conducted whole-rock geochemistry, mineral chemistry, zircon U–Pb ages, and Lu–Hf isotopic data analyses of the Maqigang beschtauite, which is exposed in southeastern Guangxi. Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry zircon U–Pb dating revealed the beschtauite emplacement at 83–85 Ma, representing Late Cretaceous magmatic activity. The rocks belong to the high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonite series and displayed metaluminous to weakly peraluminous affinity, with an A/CNK ratio ranging from 0.89 to 1.02. Whole-rock geochemical analyses showed that all rocks were enriched in Rb, Th, U, and K but depleted in Nb, Ta, Ti, Ba, and Sr. They were also rich in light rare earth elements with weakly negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.61–0.77). The beschtauite showed typical A-type granitoid affinities, with rich silica (mean: 64.95 wt%), alkali (Na2O + K2O, mean: 7.55 wt%), and high field strength elements (Zr + Nb + Ce + Y = 427.40–599.60 ppm) contents, high FeOT/MgO (mean: 3.27) and 104Ga/Al (mean: 2.75) ratios, and low Ba, Sr, Ti, and Eu contents. Mineral chemical analysis demonstrated that phenocrytic plagioclase was mainly andesite with an oscillating zone. Zircon Hf isotopic results showed zircon ε
Hf(t) values ranging from −10.8 to −0.9 and TDM2 model age range from 1.2 to 1.8 Ga. These results indicate that the beschtauite was generated by the partial melting of ancient crustal materials via the underplating of mantle-derived magma. Based on these regional geological data, the Maqigang pluton was formed in an extensional back-arc setting associated with the continued rollback and retreat of the Paleo-Pacific plate subduction zone.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
This work reports green synthesis of AgNPs using aqueous extract of Pupalia lappacea (L.) Juss. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized using UV–visible spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy supported with energy dispersive X-ray, and transmission electron microscopy. UV–vis spectroscopy reveals a characteristic surface plasmon resonance absorption band at 420 nm. TEM results showed synthesis of spherical shaped AgNPs with an average particle size of 14.48 nm. The synthesized AgNPs exhibited excellent inhibition zones against Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (26.33 ± 0.88 mm), Bacillus Coagulans (12.33 ± 0.33 mm); and Gram-negative bacteria Sphingomonas (24.33 ± 0.67 mm), Shigella dysenteriae (24.33 ± 0.67 mm) and Salmonella typhimurium (12.67 ± 0.33 mm). Therefore, Pupalia lappacea mediated AgNPs can be used for clinical and medical applications.
The German Inflation Trauma: Weimar’s Policy Lessons Between Persistence and Reconstruction
Authors: Barkhausen David , Teupe Sebastian 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The notion of a nation-specific inflation trauma among the German population is ubiquitous in the public debate in Germany and beyond. According to a widespread reading of history because of its experience with hyperinflation in 1923, the Germans not only fear rising prices but favor a stability-oriented monetary and fiscal policy. The historical origins of this contemporary understanding of the German inflation trauma are controversial. The majority of the literature presumes that a specific traumatic disposition persists since 1923, and as communicative memory has been transposed intergenerationally (persistence thesis). Others, however, point to a post-hoc reconstruction of past experiences, explaining it as a distinctly cultural memory that is largely detached from the first-hand experiences of 1923 (reconstruction thesis). By drawing on both methods of history and political sciences, we provide new insights on the question of origin. Specifically, we examine the remembrance of hyperinflation in personal memoirs and German Bundestag debates. Doing so, we find plausible support for the logic of reconstruction. We show that individual memories of hyperinflation were ambiguous and hardly ever provided explanations or specific policy lessons. Thus, personal memoirs do not provide any manifest testament for a communicative memory of the German inflation as understood by the persistence thesis. Furthermore, Bundestag speeches in the first decades of the Federal Republic indicate a contested communicative memory of 1923 with conflicting political lessons drawn from the historical experience. As only the Weimar memory transcended into the cultural realm from the 1980s onwards, a process of discursive alignment occurred resulting in the contemporary understanding of the inflation trauma. These findings rebut the persistence thesis and underscore the logic of reconstruction.
Expressing negative opinions through metaphor and simile in popular music reviews
Authors: Trojszczak Marcin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The present paper aims to investigate the role played by figurative language, in particular metaphor and simile, in expressing negative opinions in reviews of popular music albums. In order to explore this phenomenon at the intersection of cognitive linguistics, discourse analysis, and pragmatics, it makes use of language data gathered from selected critical reviews of music albums from a reputed English-speaking music website Pitchfork.com. More specifically, the paper analyses selected instances of negatively-laden metaphors and similes so as to demonstrate how they are used to portray key objects of criticism such as music album as a whole, artists and their careers, music genre and its production, songs in the album, and their lyrics. Moreover, it analyses figurative imagery used to express negative opinions about these objects of criticism by pointing out the prominent role of personification and objectification.
