Assessing the Reliability of Planktic Foraminifera Ba/Ca as a Proxy for Salinity off the Sunda Strait
Authors: Setiawan Riza Yuliratno , Wirasatriya Anindya , Shaari Hasrizal Bin , Setyobudi Eko , Rachman Faizal 
Published: December 2017

The Ba/Ca ratio of planktic foraminifera carbonate serves as a new geochemical proxy for seawater Ba/Ca and thus providing information on modern and past salinity and freshwater discharge. In this study the applicability of Ba/Ca ratio of core-top Globigerinoides sacculifer collected off the eastern tropical Indian Ocean (ETIO) for paleoceanographic reconstructions was investigated. In doing so, we conducted a series of cleaning experiments for Ba/Ca extraction by using different reductive solutions. Our new results suggest that the Ba/Ca ratio of G. sacculifer cannot be utilized as a tracer for modern and past salinity changes in the ETIO region off the Sunda Strait. We suggest that the existence of seasonal upwelling adds an additional signal to the seawater Ba/Ca in the ETIO, and thus complicates the interpretation of G. sacculifer Ba/Ca as a freshwater tracer. Moreover, our cleaning experiment results show that the cleaning protocol of Mg/Ca, DTPA, and hydroxylamine can be used to extract valuable Ba/Ca ratios from planktic foraminifera tests. Keywords: G. sacculifer Ba/Ca, foraminifera cleaning experiments, the Sunda Strait.
Der erstaunliche methodologische Widerspruch zwischen Freuds Metapsychologie und seiner analytischen Technik
Authors: Detel Wolfgang 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Freud’s metapsychology has been interpreted in a number of different ways. Some scholars see him committed to classical scientism, others to genuine hermeneutics. Many Freud philologists suggest that he moved from an early scientism to hermeneutic methods in his later writings, and some think he misunderstood his own angle, thinking himself to be a natural scientist, but actually practising hermeneutics. The article first looks at Freud’s model of the soul and his remarks about psychoanalytic explanations and concludes that there is overwhelming evidence for the contention that he conceived of psychoanalytic explanations in terms of causal explanations and that his metapsychology is, all things considered, scientistic. However, it seems that Freud did not clearly distinguish between causal and rational explanations (i. e. genuine interpretations). The article emphasizes that he could have found this distinction in the writings of Max Weber. In the last two sections, the article turns to a meticulous analysis of two vignettes describing Freud’s own treatment of two cases that he takes to be fine examples of the technique used in psychoanalytic treatment. It turns out that Freud himself looks at these cases and their treatment, throughout, in terms of rationality and irrationality. In particular, he seems to distinguish between an “external” irrationality and an “internal” rationality of neurotic diseases. He also seems to point to functions of neuroses representing certain solutions for mental disturbances. Thus, there is much evidence for assuming that in his psychoanalytic technique, Freud relied on genuine hermeneutic and functional methods; and therefore, Freud’s official metapsychology seems to be methodologically inconsistent with his analytic technique.
Über vernünftige und unvernünftige Reue
Authors: Schefczyk Michael 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Baruch Spinoza, Friedrich Nietzsche and, more recently, Ruediger Bittner argued that regret is unreasonable. My article criticises this view and describes what I consider to be the common-sense understanding of regret: In some – but not all – cases of flawed actions it is unreasonable to regret what one did. The article characterises the common-sense understanding by eight principles and offers an explication of core concepts.

Abstract
Two authors with a similar philosophical biography write this letter from Serbia. First the German professor is introduced to the history of Serbian philosophy. Special attention is given to the relations between German and Serbian philosophy. Subsequently, the present situation of philosophy in Serbia is described, including the toil and deprivation implied in occupying oneself with philosophy in this country. The authors demonstrate that in these circumstances, enthusiasm and personal dedication are of the essence.
Effect of CeO2 on TiC Morphology in Ni-Based Composite Coating
Authors: Cai Yangchuan , Luo Zhen , Chen Yao 
Published: December 2017

AbstractThe TiC/Ni composite coating with different content of CeO2 was fabricated on the Cr12MoV steel by laser cladding. The microstructure of cladding layers with the different content of CeO2 from the bottom to the surface is columnar crystal, cellular crystal, and equiaxed crystal. When the content of CeO2 is 0 %, the cladding layer has a coarse and nonuniform microstructure and TiC particles gathering in the cladding layer, and then the wear resistance was reduced. Appropriate rare-earth elements refined and homogenised the microstructure and enhanced the content of carbides, precipitated TiC particles and original TiC particles were spheroidised and refined, the wear resistance of the cladding layer was improved significantly. Excessive rare-earth elements polluted the grain boundaries and made the excessive burning loss of TiC particles that reduced the wear resistance of the cladding layer.
Thomas Shadwell’s the Virtuoso as an Assemblage Laboratory. A View from Installation Art
Authors: Chaberski Mateusz 
Published: December 2017

Summary
The contemporary landscape of performing arts becomes more and more populated by hybrid genres or “artistic installations” (Rebentisch) which fuse traditional artistic, theatrical and performance practices with scientific procedures, political activism and designing new technologies (e.g. bioart, technoart, digital art and site-specific performance). In this context, theatre texts can no longer be perceived as autopoietic means of solely artistic expression but become part of an assemblage of different discourses and practices. As contemporary assemblage theory contends (DeLanda), assemblages are relational entities which change dramatically depending on relations between its different human and nonhuman elements and various contexts in which they function.
Taking the contemporary installation art as a vantage point, this paper aims to analyse a Restoration comedy The Virtuoso (1676) by Thomas Shadwell in an assemblage of theatrical, scientific and political discourses and practices of Early Modern England. Staged in Dorset Gardens theatre in London, the play mobilised a plethora of discourses of science (the status of experimental philosophy institutionalized in 1660 as the Royal Society), politics (Restoration of the monarchy under Charles II) and gender (the infamous heac vir or effeminate man). Drawing on contemporary new materialism, the paper focuses predominantly on Shadwell’s use of the laboratory as a site of emerging assemblages rather than objective matters of fact. In this context, the play itself becomes an assemblage laboratory where new ways of thinking and being are being forged and constantly negotiated.
„Un champ de bataille on ne peut plus réel“. Zur Referentialität von Distanz und Nähe in 14 von Jean Echenoz
Authors: Schwarze Michael 
Published: December 2017

AbstractThis paper addresses the production of referentiality in historical fiction. It analyses Jean Echenoz’WorldWar I novel 14 (2012), by identifying textual patterns that generate effects of distance and proximity. These effects concern the metatextual dialogue the novel holds with conventional ways of representing this war, and they also relate to the actual historical past evoked by the novel. In this respect 14 performs a notable inversion. Historical fiction usually produces effects of distance in order to convey historical explanation and achieves historical concreteness by effects of proximity, whereas Echenoz endeavours to provide certain aspects of the war with explicative coherence, registering the material world with great concreteness. In many passages, on the other hand, his minimalist writing produces an ironic distance, which makes experiences of contingency aesthetically evident.
Die Charakteristik
Authors: Rossi Francesco 
Published: December 2017

AbstractThe term ›characteristic‹ (›Charakteristik‹) refers to a genre of essayistic prose that is very close but not equivalent to the biographical short forms, which reaches its peak in the German-speaking countries between Early Romanticism and ›Vormarz‹. By considering ›characteristic‹ as a literary genre with specific features, this paper focuses on its pre- and early history in the Long Eighteenth Century. It starts with an overview of the current state of research, followed by a brief outline of the history of the concept, with special attention to the connections between philosophical and poetological discourses. Particular attention is devoted to the definitions of ›characteristic‹ given in essays and treatises on poetics of the 18
Zur Struktur und Rolle ästhetischer Erfahrung in Emil Staigers »Die Kunst der Interpretation« (1951)
Authors: Klauk Tobias , Köppe Tilmann 
Published: December 2017

AbstractCurrent accounts of the aims and methods of criticism as developed in Emil Staiger’s seminal essay »Die Kunst der Interpretation« typically do not concentrate on the role of aesthetic experience. We clarify the notion of aesthetic experience employed in Staiger’s essay and point out the centrality of aesthetic experience for his view of criticism. According to Staiger, aesthetic experiences are central to the aesthetic merit of an artwork, they guide the critic’s appreciation of aesthetic properties, and literary criticism should be concerned with the elucidation of how aesthetic properties are based on other manifest properties of a work. We also review some recent alternative reconstructions of Staiger’s view, and offer some routes to a critique of his view that is based on his central assumptions concerning the aims and methods of criticism, rather than on a rejection of them.
»Auszug aus selbstverschuldeter Verständlichkeit«
Authors: Albrecht Andrea 
Published: December 2017

AbstractOswald Egger presents himself as both poeta vates and poeta doctus, challenging his readers with texts that have often been described as hermetic and thus hermeneutically inaccessible. In recourse to mathematical (topology) and philosophical (Johann Georg Hamann) contexts, the essay shows how poetry on the one hand, science and erudition on the other hand intersect in Egger’s texts in an aesthetically and hermeneutically ambitious way.
Sprachenpolitik, Sprachideologie und Sprachgebrauch in Luxemburg
Authors: Moliner Olivier , Ziegler Evelyn 
Published: December 2017

ZusammenfassungIm Zentrum steht die Frage nach dem Zusammenhang zwischen Sprachpolitik, Sprachideologie und Sprachstandardisierung. Diese Frage wird am Beispiel der Entwicklung des Deutschen in Luxemburg im „langen 19. Jahrhundert“ behandelt. Dabei geht es zum einen um die Beschreibung der äußeren Faktoren (z.B. Sprachgesetzgebung, Ereignisgeschichte) in Bezug auf die bestehenden Sprachverhältnisse und zum anderen um die Analyse der Wirksamkeit dieser Faktoren mit Blick auf die Statusstandardisierung des Deutschen im 19. Jh. in Luxemburg. In einem empirischen Zugriff wird dafür das Handlungsfeld Verwaltung ausgewählt und die externe Verwaltungskommunikation anhand des Kommunikationsmediums „Öffentliche Bekanntmachung“ untersucht. Die Analyse der sprachenpolitischen Aktivitäten zielt darauf ab, je spezifische „language regimes“ im Untersuchungszeitraum zu identifizieren. Als Datengrundlage dienen offizielle Dokumente wie Sprachengesetze, Dekrete und Verordnungen. Um die Wirksamkeit dieser sprachenpolitischen Aktivitäten näher bestimmen zu können, wird der externe Sprachgebrauch der Verwaltung auf der Grundlage von öffentlichen Bekanntmachungen quantitativ analysiert und im Kontext der je spezifischen politischen und soziokulturellen Entwicklungen interpretiert.
A Role for Monomethylation of Histone H3-K27 in Gene Activity inDrosophila

Published: December 2017

AbstractN-terminal histone tails emanate from the chromatin fiber—providing docking surfaces for regulatory proteins—and are commonly modified by lysine methylation...Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is a conserved chromatin-modifying enzyme that methylates histone H3 on lysine-27 (K27). PRC2 can add one, two, or three methyl groups and the fully methylated product, H3-K27me3, is a hallmark of Polycomb-silenced chromatin. Less is known about functions of K27me1 and K27me2 and the dynamics of flux through these states. These modifications could serve mainly as intermediates to produce K27me3 or they could each convey distinct epigenetic information. To investigate this, we engineered a variant of Drosophila melanogaster PRC2 which is converted into a monomethyltransferase. A single substitution, F738Y, in the lysine-substrate binding pocket of the catalytic subunit, E(Z), creates an enzyme that retains robust K27 monomethylation but dramatically reduced di- and trimethylation. Overexpression of E(Z)-F738Y in fly cells triggers desilencing of Polycomb target genes significantly more than comparable overexpression of catalytically deficient E(Z), suggesting that H3-K27me1 contributes positively to gene activity. Consistent with this, normal genomic distribution of H3-K27me1 is enriched on actively transcribed Drosophila genes, with localization overlapping the active H3-K36me2/3 chromatin marks. Thus, distinct K27 methylation states link to either repression or activation depending upon the number of added methyl groups. If so, then H3-K27me1 deposition may involve alternative methyltransferases beyond PRC2, which is primarily repressive. Indeed, assays on fly embryos with PRC2 genetically inactivated, and on fly cells with PRC2 chemically inhibited, show that substantial H3-K27me1 accumulates independently of PRC2. These findings imply distinct roles for K27me1 vs. K27me3 in transcriptional control and an expanded machinery for methylating H3-K27.

Authors: García Mazo Claudia María 
Published: December 2017

Objetivo: El fin de este trabajo es mostrar los efectos pro y en contra de la educación superior colombiana al ser tratada como una mercancía.Método: Se presenta una revisión de aportes al tema de autores como Rodríguez (2005), Aboites (2007) Ruiz (2009) entre otros. “La Educación Superior en las Negociaciones Internacionales”,“Acuerdo General sobre el Comercio de Servicios (GATS) y la Educación Superior”, “Aspectos básicos de la Educación Superior en Colombia”, “TLC Colombia-Estados Unidos y la Educación Superior”, “La experiencia educativa a nivel internacional”.Resultados: Al analizar el sector de la educación en países como Gran Bretaña, Estados Unidos, Australia, Alemania, se observa que es dinámico e importante por ser una actividad que reporta ganancias económicas. En países emergentes como Colombia dominado por una política proteccionista, han abierto sus economías para integrarse a la economía mundial. Para cumplir en el sector de la educación con este proceso de globalización se promulgó la Ley 30 de 1992.Conclusiones: La educación superior al ser considerada como un servicio, reporta altas ganancias económicas y proliferación de instituciones de dudosa calidad, por lo que el Gobierno debe estar atento y ser más riguroso en su regulación.

O Projeto Rondon é uma ação do Governo Federal, coordenada pelo Ministério da Defesa, com apoio das Forças Armadas, com o objetivo de promover o contato entre estudantes com o interior do Brasil por meio de atividades em comunidades isoladas e de baixo índice econômico. A Universidade do Extremo Sul Catarinense – UNESC se fez presente na Operação Porta do Sol, no município de Itapororoca-Paraíba/PB entre janeiro e fevereiro de 2015 com um grupo formado por dois professores e, por oito estudantes atuando. O objetivo do trabalho é mostrar as vivências e impressões da prática da extensão na sua total integralidade, com trocas de conhecimento e experiências em áreas interdisciplinares. O presente estudo foi realizado durante o Projeto Rondon – Operação Porta do Sol, na cidade de Itapororoca-Paraíba/PB no período de 27 de Janeiro de 2015 a 06 de Fevereiro de 2015. Foram realizadas palestras na área da Cultura, Direitos Humanos e Justiça, Educação e Saúde. Tendo como resultados, nas atividades de cultura, obteve-se a participação de 24% da comunidade, na saúde 52%, educação 19% e direitos humanos 5%. Levando à posterior conclusão de que, esta atividade de extensão foi uma experiência singular, uma lição de vida e de cidadania. As atividades da área da saúde foram as mais procuradas pela comunidade. A contribuição principal foi o crescimento pessoal e a descoberta das potencialidades que o ser humano possui para lidar com as mais adversas situações.
Proximidades e distanciamentos entre as formações de Naturologia no Brasil e Naturopatia nos Estados Unidos da América e Canadá

Published: December 2017

Objetivou-se conhecer as proximidades e os distanciamentos entre as formações de Naturologia no Brasil e de Naturopatia no Canadá e Estados Unidos da América a partir de suas grades curriculares. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, classificando-se em descritivo segundo seus objetivos, e documental segundo seus meios. Foram comparadas grades curriculares das instituições de ensino que oferecem as formações em nível de graduação em Naturologia e Naturopatia. Analisaram-se documentos provenientes de seis instituições, sendo duas brasileiras, duas Estadunidenses e duas Canadenses, por meio de Análise de Conteúdo Temático, a partir de quatro categorias dadas a priori: (1) Doutrina Médica; (2) Morfologia e Dinâmica Vital; (3) Sistema Diagnóstico e (4) Sistema Terapêutico. Como resultados entende-se que a Naturologia, no Brasil, e a Naturopatia, no Canadá e Estados Unidos, se aproximam enquanto Doutrina Médica. Todavia, essas distanciam-se quanto aos conteúdos referentes às categorias Morfologia e Dinâmica Vital, Sistema Diagnóstico e Sistema Terapêutico. Fatores culturais e aspectos legais nos diferentes países contribuem para o distanciamento. Por conseguinte, pode-se inferir que ambas possuem a mesma raiz visto que se aproximam enquanto filosofia e concepções de saúde, porém distanciam-se enquanto alcance de atuação e práticas de intervenção.

Esta pesquisa buscou investigar a relação entre a remuneração dos executivos na responsabilidade social corporativa e no desempenho das empresas listadas na BM&FBovespa. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva com abordagem quantitativa por meio de análise documental. A amostra foi composta por 71 companhias de capital aberto, no período de 2012, 2013 e 2014. Para análise dos dados foi utilizado o software Eviews®, visando análise de dados em painel com a aplicação dos Modelos Pooled, Efeito Fixo e Efeito Aleatório. Os resultados indicam que existe uma relação positiva apenas entre a remuneração variável dos membros da diretoria e a responsabilidade social corporativa, visto que a remuneração fixa mostrou-se negativamente relacionada. Foi encontrada uma relação positiva entre a remuneração fixa e variável e o desempenho empresarial, medida pelo indicador financeiro ROA nos modelos Pooled, Efeitos Fixos e Efeitos Variáveis. Estes resultados sugerem que a utilização eficiente da política de remuneração influencia de maneira positiva e significativa o desempenho apresentado pelas empresas. Conclui-se que as companhias que possuem a remuneração variável como mecanismo de compensação de seus executivos, alcançam o equilíbrio entre a compensação e a ênfase do lucro corporativo, através da responsabilidade social corporativa, dentro de um sistema justo e equilibrado para todos.
