The poetics of (social) mise-en-scène and transcendence in Li Shaohong’s Stolen Life
Authors: Tsang Hing 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This article is a formal analysis of the poetics of Li Shaohong’s Stolen Life (2005). It analyses issues of mise-en-scène from the perspective of composition, camera movement and choreography of characters within the frame. Taking in equal measure from David Bordwell’s classic work on mise-en-scène and Adrian Martin’s recent espousal of social mise-en-scène, I shall be arguing that Li’s work presents rich social description but also provides an account of agency and transcendence. My analysis of Stolen Life acknowledges Li Shaohong’s deployment of familiar tropes from popular storytelling, while giving emphasis to the distinct variations that she provides throughout the film.
Real and slow: The poetics and politics of The Naked Island
Authors: Kitsnik Lauri 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
A seminal film that presaged the 1960s boom of independent cinema in Japan, Shindō Kaneto’s The Naked Island (1960) also marked its director’s breakthrough to the international market. This article examines how the film’s depiction of primitive agrarian life, particularly the ‘authentic’ labouring bodies, relates to the notions of neorealism and ‘slow cinema’. Tracing its international influences, a comparison to Flaherty’s Man of Aran (1934) reveals how ‘poetical licence’ is an integral part of documentary film with ethnographical aspirations. Working outside the restrictive nature of the Japanese studio system, The Naked Island consolidated the director’s stripped-down and self-sufficient methods of independent filmmaking. After winning the Grand Prize at the Moscow International Film Festival, it also brought him a considerable following amidst the geopolitical tensions of the Cold War.

Authors: Leow Johnson 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This is an interview with late veteran Hong Kong sound designer Kinson Tsang about his experiences working in the Hong Kong film industry. Tsang entered the industry in the mid-1990s and quickly made a name for himself with award-winning soundtracks for The Stormriders (1999) and Purple Storm (2000). Since then, he has become the most successful sound designer in Hong Kong (in terms of awards), and his credits include Infernal Affairs (2002), Shaolin Soccer (2002), SPL (2005), Initial D (2006), Ip Man (2008) and The Taking of Tiger Mountain (2014). He sadly passed away from cancer at age 59 on 7 September 2017. The present interview dates from 15 December 2015 and discusses Tsang’s experiences in the industry and his views on the sound aesthetics of Hong Kong cinema in the past few decades.

AbstractThis article presents the results of the thermal analysis of dried colloidal solutions based on zinc nitrate with changes in tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) content. The main stages of the thermal decomposition of the dried sols were established and the activation energies of each stage were determined based on the results of thermogravimetric measurements using the Erofeev-Kolmogorov approach. For each stage, the products of thermal destruction in the gas phase were determined by mass-spectrometry. It was shown that the chemical decomposition in all samples started at a temperature above 200°C, and the temperature of zinc hydroxonitrate decomposition increased with increasing TEOS content in the ash, while the activation energy of that process decreased. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the thermal decomposition of dried sols at 600°C resulted in the formation of mixtures of ZnO in hexagonal syngony with amorphous SiO2 in amounts from 10 to 50 wt%.
Lack of effect of the SLC47A1 and SLC47A2 gene polymorphisms on the glycemic response to metformin in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
Authors: Raj Gerard Marshall , Mathaiyan Jayanthi , Wyawahare Mukta , Priyadarshini Rekha 
Published: November 2018

Abstract

Background
This work aimed to evaluate the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SLC47A1 (922-158G>A; rs2289669) and SLC47A2 (−130G>A; rs12943590) genes on the relative change in HbA1c in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients of South India who are taking metformin as monotherapy. It also aims to study the effects of these SNPs on the dose requirement of metformin for glycemic control and the adverse effects of metformin.

Methods
Diabetes patients on metformin monotherapy were recruited based on the eligibility criteria (n=105). DNA was extracted and genotyping was performed with a real-time PCR system using TaqMan® SNP genotyping assay method. The HbA1c levels were measured using Bio-Rad D-10™ Hemoglobin Analyzer.

Results
After adjusting for multiple comparisons (Bonferroni correction) the difference found in the glycemic response between the “GG” genotype and “AG/AA” genotype groups of the SLC47A2 gene was not significant (p=0.027; which was greater than the critical value of 0.025). Patients with “GG” genotype showed a 5.5% decrease in HbA1c from baseline compared to those with the “AG/AA” genotype (0.1% increase). The SNP in the SLC47A1 gene also did not influence the glycemic response to metformin (p=0.079). The median dose requirements based on the genotypes of the rs12943590 variant (p=0.357) or rs2289669 variant (p=0.580) were not significantly different. Similarly, there was no significant difference in the occurrence of adverse effects across the genotypes in both the SLC47A1 (p=0.615) and SLC47A2 (p=0.309) genes.

Conclusions
The clinical response to metformin was not associated with the SNPs in the SLC47A1 and SLC47A2 genes coding for the multidrug and toxin extrusion protein (MATE) transporters. Furthermore, the studied SNPs had no influence on the dose requirement or adverse effects of metformin.
Dialogische Öffentlichkeit. Preisfragen und Preisaufgaben im 18. Jahrhundert
Authors: Bosse Heinrich 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Prize contests and prize questions formed quite an important aspect of 18th century’s public sphere. They were issued by corporations such as academies or enlightenment societies as well as by private persons. Academic prize questions have been studied, but they have so far not been set into the wider perspective of public discourse, including newspapers, journals and books. This discourse challenged persons of every rank and standing to submit their ideas on improving pretty well anything from hats or stoves to agricultural techniques and social or metaphysical issues, even literature – in return they awarded a prize and honorable publication.
Visionärer Realismus
Authors: Ortlieb Cornelia 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This contribution situates Gérard de Nerval’s visionary prose and his reports from the Parisian nightlife in a different history of European realism, one that begins around 1800 with the programmatic linking of ‘idealistic’ and ‘realistic’ positions in philosophy and literature and which can been shown, for example, by looking at texts and (linguistic) images from Jean Paul, E. T. A. Hoffmann, and Gustave Courbet.
Masculinity Concepts in Psychoanalysis
Authors: Quindeau Ilka 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
In the last few years, promising concepts for understanding masculinity have emerged from the perspective of inter-subjective, relational psychoanalysis; yet, a central theoretical problem is present in this approach: it focuses on “gender without sex“. The theories focus primarily on questions of identity. In contrast to this, I place the conflict-based, unconscious psychosexual dimension of maleness at the center of focus and use the terms ‘phallic’ and ‘genital’ not as normative and metaphoric, but focus on – in the original Freudian sense – the sexual, bodily dimension.
Comparing Masculinities – True Grit (1968, 1969, 2010)
Authors: Erhart Walter 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
By studying three different versions of an American Western narrative, the novel True Grit and its cinematographic adaptations, the essay starts with the plurality of masculinities embodied within the genre to outline the specific reference points, frames, and tertia comparationis that organize and structure these and other male narratives in the 20th and 21st century. While the narrative of True Grit is all about comparing men, each version centers upon a different concept these comparisons are directed toward: a nostalgic imagination of a noble masculine society gone by; a family narrative where men evolve as children, fathers, and potential husbands; a threatening masculinity representing the dark ‘other’ side of civilization. While taking a plurality of masculinities for granted, this essay aims to identify common frames and narratives of masculinities that allow for structuring the future field of comparative masculinity studies.
Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments: Between Contradiction and Necessity
Authors: Stone Adrienne 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
In Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments, Yaniv Roznai seeks to unscramble the apparent contradictions in the idea of an unconstitutional constitutional amendment. This argument is ambitious in its scope and its global comparative reach. Roznai does not limit himself to justifying explicit limitations placed on the power of amendment nor to limitations that go only to process. Rather, Roznai argues that amendment powers are always subject to limitations of substance and procedure and that these limitations may be implicit as well as explicit. In this short essay, I will argue that the form of argument deployed by Roznai cannot fully justify the doctrine of unamendability as Roznai elaborates upon it. It allows Roznai to establish that unamendability is a conceptual possibility but it does not follow, as he seeks to argue, that unamendability is a necessary consequence of constitutionalism.

Early higher dosage of alglucosidase alpha in classic Pompe disease
Authors: Spada Marco , Pagliardini Veronica , Ricci Federica , Biamino Elisa , Mongini Tiziana , Porta Francesco 
Published: November 2018

Abstract

Background
With conventional enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), the clinical prognosis of classic Pompe disease is often unsatisfactory. About half the patients treated with ERT at the recommended dosage (20 mg/kg every other week) require ventilatory support within the first years of life. The heterogeneous response to ERT has been related to different factors, including cross-reactive immunologic material (CRIM) status and age at ERT initiation. Early treatment with a standard dosage of ERT improves clinical outcome and avoids mechanical ventilation in CRIM-positive patients detected at newborn screening, not preventing persistent hyperCKemia and muscle weakness. Later treatment with higher dosages of ERT was shown to provide similar benefits in CRIM-positive patients. Here, we report the clinical and biochemical outcomes of six patients with classic Pompe disease treated with different dosages of alglucosidase alpha at different ages.

Methods
A standard dosage of ERT was employed in five patients, sharing a poor prognosis after transient clinical improvements, even in the case of early treatment (four died at 22.2±11.9 months and one survived but required tracheostomy and gastrostomy). Early higher dosage of alglucosidase alpha (40 mg/kg/week from 14 days) was administered to one CRIM-positive patient with fetal persistent bradycardia.

Results
Early higher dosage of alclucosidase alpha not only achieved normal neuromotor development but also the full correction of biochemical markers of muscle damage until 3 years of age, an unmet target with the standard dosage. Speech delay was not prevented by this approach.

Conclusions
We suggest that early treatment with a higher dosage of ERT may further improve clinical prognosis in classic Pompe disease.
Kino im Spannungsfeld von historischer Authentizität, Stereotypen und künstlerischer Freiheit
Authors: Witte Robert Alexander 
Published: November 2018

Zusammenfassung
Die Schutzstaffel (SS) und ihre Angehörigen tauchen als Repräsentation der nationalsozialistischen Machtausübung in zahlreichen Film- und Fernsehproduktionen seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges auf und unterliegen im Zuge dessen beständig wiederkehrenden Darstellungsmodi. Dabei wird dem einzelnen SS-Mann häufig die Rolle des NS-Täters und Filmbösewichts zugeschrieben. Mit dem Film »Inglourious Basterds« von Quentin Tarantino erschien 2009 ein Kinofilm, der mit seiner Oscar prämierten Figur des SS-Standartenführers Hans Landa einen entscheidenden Beitrag zu jener Deutung und populärkulturellen Wiedergabe des »Schwarzen Ordens« leistet. In vier Schritten untersucht die Studie daher den fiktiven Protagonisten hinsichtlich des zugrunde liegenden Geschichtsbilds und versucht, die Frage nach dessen Authentizität zu klären. Dabei wird gleichsam beurteilt, wie sich die Figur in ihrer historischen Repräsentationswirkung innerhalb der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung und Aufarbeitung der SS einordnen lässt und welches Urteil der Film damit über das Wesen der Schutzstaffel als Element der verbrecherischen NS-Politik fällt.
Die historische Analyse paramilitärischer Verbände als Herausforderung für die Neueste Militärgeschichte am Beispiel der Kommandoverantwortung im zerfallenden Jugoslawien
Authors: Keßelring Agilolf 
Published: November 2018

Zusammenfassung
Gestützt auf Gerichtsakten des ICTY wird die organisatorische Beziehung zwischen in Bosnien-Herzegowina und Kroatien agierenden paramilitärischen Verbänden und regulären staatlichen Institutionen Serbiens bzw. Kroatiens analysiert. Dabei kann nachgewiesen werden, dass sowohl die in Kroatien als auch die in Bosnien-Herzegowina eingesetzten serbischen paramilitärischen Verbände in geheimdienstliche Strukturen des Belgrader Milošević-Regimes eingebunden waren. Für die in Bosnien-Herzegowina agierenden paramilitärischen kroatischen Verbände ist eine Verbindung zu staatlichen Organen des »Mutterlandes« Kroatien nicht zweifelsfrei nachweisbar; eine Betrachtung der militärisch-geheimdienstlichen Netzwerke zeigt aber engste Verbindungen zwischen der politisch-militärischen Führung in Zagreb und paramilitärischen Verbänden in der Herzegowina.
Vorliegender Artikel ist zugleich als Beitrag zur laufenden geschichtswissenschaftlichen Diskussion über Methoden, Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Neuesten Militärgeschichte ab 1990 zu verstehen. Es wird am konkreten Beispiel der »Jugoslawienkriege« argumentiert, dass ein quellenbasierter, moderner, durch geheimdienstgeschichtliche und kommunikationswissenschaftliche Ansätze erweiterter Umgang mit organisations- und operationsgeschichtlichen »harten« Fragestellungen unabdingbar ist und keineswegs durch theoretisierende, abstrakte Betrachtungen ersetzt werden kann.
Ontology of The Possible: on the Structure of the Object
Authors: Armogida Giuseppe 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This paper, through a realist reading of Husserlian phenomenology, aims to explain how the consciousness-sense has access to reality and, in general, to objectivity. There is a ‘strife’ between the essence of a thing and the specific concreteness in which it always becomes manifest, such that the identical object is indicated by changeable predicates, but at the same time always distinguishes itself from them. Language can express the evidence of the thing - which makes the determinable aspects of the thing exist and which is inexpressible through definitions - only “for conjectures”, showing the difference between its own expression and the thing. And it can do this by analogy, the only device that exhibits the antinomic relationship between the object and its determinations, and, in the meantime, makes possible not so much their composition, but rather their transformation. Analogy, in fact, operating through a logic of contradiction, grasps, within each object, the tension between the element of permanence and the element of emergency; shows how the object is a unity-without-a-mixture of absolutely distinct forms; and so it comes to think about the relationship between the in-definable forms of the possible representations of the thing and the impossible expression of its singularity.
Glial Sulfatides and Neuronal Complex Gangliosides Are Functionally Interdependent in Maintaining Myelinating Axon Integrity
Authors: McGonigal Rhona , Barrie Jennifer A. , Yao Denggao , McLaughlin Mark , Cunningham Madeleine E. , Rowan Edward G. , Willison Hugh J. 
Published: November 2018

Sulfatides and gangliosides are raft-associated glycolipids essential for maintaining myelinated nerve integrity. Mice deficient in sulfatide (cerebroside sulfotransferase knock-out,CST−/−) or complex gangliosides (β-1,4-N-acetylegalactosaminyltransferase1 knock-out,GalNAc-T−/−) display prominent disorganization of proteins at the node of Ranvier (NoR) in early life and age-dependent neurodegeneration. Loss of neuronal rather than glial complex gangliosides underpins theGalNAc-T−/−phenotype, as shown by neuron- or glial-specific rescue, whereas sulfatide is principally expressed and functional in glial membranes. The similarities in NoR phenotype ofCST−/−,GalNAc-T−/−, and axo–glial protein-deficient mice suggests that these glycolipids stabilize membrane proteins including neurofascin155 (NF155) and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) at axo–glial junctions. To assess the functional interactions between sulfatide and gangliosides,CST−/−andGalNAc-T−/−genotypes were interbred.CST−/−×GalNAc-T−/−mice develop normally to postnatal day 10 (P10), but all die between P20 and P25, coinciding with peak myelination. Ultrastructural, immunohistological, and biochemical analysis of either sex revealed widespread axonal degeneration and disruption to the axo–glial junction at the NoR. In addition to sulfatide-dependent loss of NF155,CST−/−×GalNAc-T−/−mice exhibited a major reduction in MAG protein levels in CNS myelin compared with WT and single-lipid-deficient mice. TheCST−/−×GalNAc-T−/−phenotype was fully restored to that ofCST−/−mice by neuron-specific expression of complex gangliosides, but not by their glial-specific expression nor by the global expression ofa-series gangliosides. These data indicate that sulfatide and complexb-series gangliosides on the glial and neuronal membranes, respectively, act in concert to promote NF155 and MAG in maintaining the stable axo–glial interactions essential for normal nerve function.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTSulfatides and complex gangliosides are membrane glycolipids with important roles in maintaining nervous system integrity. Node of Ranvier maintenance in particular requires stable compartmentalization of multiple membrane proteins. The axo–glial adhesion molecules neurofascin155 (NF155) and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) require membrane microdomains containing either sulfatides or complex gangliosides to localize and function effectively. The cooperative roles of these microdomains and associated proteins are unknown. Here, we show vital interdependent roles for sulfatides and complex gangliosides because double (but not single) deficiency causes a rapidly lethal phenotype at an early age. These findings suggest that sulfatides and complex gangliosides on opposing axo–glial membranes are responsible for essential tethering of the axo–glial junction proteins NF155 and MAG, which interact to maintain the nodal complex.
