„Arbeitssprachen: Englisch – Russisch – Deutsch. Spezialgebiet: Holocaust“: ökonomische Faktoren bei der Übersetzung von Audio-/Videointerviews mit Überlebenden des nationalsozialistischen Terrors
Authors: Degen Sylvia 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis article is based on the preliminary results of an interview project with managers, project leaders, and translators from three major German multimedia archives who are/were involved with translating audio-visual Holocaust testimony for educational purposes. It will focus on the economic aspects in this highly sensitive field of translation and assess what status translation is given within these projects. Despite of the narrow research framework, the findings point out to broader issues related to current outsourcing practices instead of integrating translation as central part of a project.
The Future of Studying Hobbyist Metal Detecting in Europe: A Call for a Transnational Approach
Authors: Thomas Suzie 
Published: October 2016

AbstractMuch research on hobbyist metal detecting has either focused on the archaeological impact only,
conflated hobbyism with criminal activity (namely looting and illicit trade), or generalized the motivations
and drivers for metal detectorists. Studies to date have targeted specific countries and regions, with only
limited reference to metal detecting activities elsewhere. This has meant that the transnational aspects of
metal detecting – such as the international trade of metal-detected objects, and transnational movement of
metal detectorists themselves (for example through touristic activities) – has mostly been overlooked or merely
speculated upon. Much debate has revolved around assumptions, stymied by perceived ethical barriers and
accepted attitudes which limit deeper engagement with the metal detecting community. Approaching the
study of hobbyist metal detecting at a trans-European level would encourage greater understanding of the
scale of hobbyist metal detecting and the world views, activities and contact and trade networks of metal
detectorists. This may challenge traditionally-held perspectives concerning what should be valued as cultural
heritage and who is entitled to make use of it. In this paper I set out our current state of knowledge, and
propose directions for future research.

Published: October 2016

Abstract
In this paper, based on Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville derivative, we apply the fractional variational iteration method using He’s polynomials to obtain solitary and compacton solutions of fractional KdV-like equations. The results show that the proposed method provides a very effective and reliable tool for solving fractional KdV-like equations, and the method can also be extended to many other fractional partial differential equations.

This includes magnetic field effects on charge transport and luminescence in organic semiconductors, spin valve action in devices comprising organic spacers, and magnetic effects that are unique to hybrid interfaces between (ferromagnetic) metals and organic molecules. A brief overview of the current state of affairs in the field is presented.
Third phase formation in the extraction of Th(NO3)4 by Tri-sec-butyl phosphate: a comparison with Tri-n-butyl phosphate
Authors: Chandrasekar Aditi , Suresh A. , Sivaraman N. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Earlier studies carried out in our laboratory indicated that Tri-sec-butyl phosphate (TsBP) is a potential extractant for U/Th separation. Also, the third phase formation tendency of TsBP is lower compared to its isomers, Tri-n-butyl-phosphate (TBP) and Tri-iso-butyl phosphate (TiBP). In this context, the extraction and third phase formation behaviour of 1.1 M solutions of TiBP and TsBP in n-dodecane in the extraction of Th(IV) from 1 M HNO3 at 303 K over a wide range of Th concentrations were investigated in the present study and the results are compared with the literature data on TBP system. Concentrations of Th(IV) and HNO3 loaded in the organic phase before third phase formation (biphasic region) as well as in third phase and diluent-rich phase after third phase formation (triphasic region) were measured as a function of equilibrium aqueous phase Th(IV) concentration. The density of loaded organic phase was also measured at various Th(IV) concentrations. The extraction profiles in the biphasic region indicated that extraction of Th(IV) by TBP is higher than that of TiBP which in turn is higher than that of TsBP. Extractant concentration in the diluent-rich phase and third phase was measured for the triphasic region.

AbstractEnvironmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is one of the greatest and the most frequent environmental toxic exposures presenting a high risk to children and to their mothers as well. The aim of the study was to find determinants of the household ETS in the sample of pregnant women living in the household with smokers and to assess their physical and mental health. The survey was distributed to women being seen for follow-up at the obstetric/gynecology departments in hospitals and at gynecological out-patient departments in Bratislava, Slovakia. The medical outcomes short form-12 (SF-12) was included to quantify the mental and physical health of mothers. From the total sample of 617 women, 35.5% (219) were pregnant, 88.6% of them (194) non-smokers, 27.8% (54) lived with a smoking partner, the average mental component summary (MCS) score was 50.8±9.1 and physical component summary (PCS) score was 41.6±10.3. The average age was 31.3±5.1 years. In the sample of 309 non-pregnant non-smoking mothers 23% (71) lived with a smoking partner; the average age was 31.7±4.8 years. The average PCS score was 47.8±8.7 and MCS score 49.1±9. Non-smoking, pregnant women living with a smoker have fewer years of education (p=0.0003) and lower MCS scores (48.50±9.8) (p=0.03). Non-smoking, non-pregnant women living with a smoker are older (p=0.0042), with lower income (p=0.0145), have fewer years of education (p=0.002) and lower PCS score (45±9.1) (p=0.0056). Multivariate analyses revealed the decrease of MCS score in pregnant women and the decrease of PCS score in non-pregnant women living with a smoker. Our results show that living with a smoker is independently associated with worse physical and mental health in a selected sample of Slovak women, which represents an important argument for intervention in families.

Published: October 2016

Zusammenfassung
Behandlungen in der Pädiatrie sind auf einer spirituellen Ebene davon beeinflusst, „was es bedeutet, ein Kind zu sein“ und in welcher Beziehung die Behandler zu dem kranken oder verletzen Kind stehen. Spiritual Care in der Pädiatrie darf sich nicht darauf beschränken, die Spezifizität der behandelten Kinder zu berücksichtigen. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass die spirituellen Erfahrungen von Kindern in impliziter oder expliziter Weise durch die zwischen Eltern und Gesundheitsberufen geteilte Sorge um die Gesundheit der Kinder geprägt wird.

Published: October 2016

Abstract

Objective
Gilbert’s syndrome (GS), is a benign condition characterized by unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia related to a decreased hepatic glucuronidating activity without symptoms and signs of liver disease or overt hemolysis. In the present study, we aimed to assess circulating levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), pentraxin-3 (PTX-3) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) between patients with GS and controls and determine the correlation of unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) levels with these molecules as prognostic factors for vascular risk stratification and endothelial dysfunction.

Methods
Forty two patients with GS and 37 age and sex matched control subjects were enrolled in this study. The diagnosis of GS was made by unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (1 mg/dL or >17.1 μmol/L) on at least two occasions with normal values of other liver function tests, normal hepatic imaging, and absence of hemolysis.

Results
Serum ADMA, PTX-3 and hs-CRP levels were significantly lower in GS than the healthy controls (p=0.037, p=0.025 and p=0.040, respectively). In correlation analysis, UCB was negatively correlated with ADMA, PTX-3 and hs-CRP (r=−0.239, p=0.034; r=−0.280, p=0.012 and r=−0.224, p=0.047, respectively).

Discussion and conclusion
The present study showed for the first time that decreased levels of ADMA, PTX-3 and hs-CRP may prove the protective effects of hyperbilirubinemia on the endothelial dysfunction.

Authors: Sarwar Farah , Iqbal Shaukat , Hussain Muhammad Waqar 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
A novel electrical model of neuron is proposed in this presentation. The suggested neural network model has linear/nonlinear input-output characteristics. This new deterministic model has joint biological properties in excellent agreement with the earlier deterministic neuron model of Hopfield and Tank and to the stochastic neuron model of McCulloch and Pitts. It is an accurate portrayal of differential equation presented by Hopfield and Tank to mimic neurons. Operational amplifiers, resistances, capacitor, and diodes are used to design this system. The presented biological model of neurons remains to be advantageous for simulations. Impulse response is studied and conferred to certify the stability and strength of this innovative model. A simple illustration is mapped to demonstrate the exactness of the intended system. Precisely mapped illustration exhibits 100 % accurate results.

Published: October 2016

Abstract
The multi-scale analysis is an important method for detecting nonlinear systems. In this study, we carry out experiments and measure the fluctuation signals from a rotating electric field conductance sensor with eight electrodes. We first use a recurrence plot to recognise flow patterns in vertical upward gas–liquid two-phase pipe flow from measured signals. Then we apply a multi-scale morphological analysis based on the first-order difference scatter plot to investigate the signals captured from the vertical upward gas–liquid two-phase flow loop test. We find that the invariant scaling exponent extracted from the multi-scale first-order difference scatter plot with the bisector of the second-fourth quadrant as the reference line is sensitive to the inhomogeneous distribution characteristics of the flow structure, and the variation trend of the exponent is helpful to understand the process of breakup and coalescence of the gas phase. In addition, we explore the dynamic mechanism influencing the inhomogeneous distribution of the gas phase in terms of adaptive optimal kernel time–frequency representation. The research indicates that the system energy is a factor influencing the distribution of the gas phase and the multi-scale morphological analysis based on the first-order difference scatter plot is an effective method for indicating the inhomogeneous distribution of the gas phase in gas–liquid two-phase flow.

Authors: Bräuchle Sebastian , Hejny Clivia , Huppertz Hubert 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
BaSr2Ge3O9 was prepared by high-temperature solid-state synthesis at 1100°C in a platinum crucible from barium carbonate, strontium carbonate, and germanium(IV) oxide. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̅ (no. 2) isotypically to walstromite BaCa2Si3O9. The structure was refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data: a=7.104(5), b=10.060(7), c=7.099(5) Å, α=83.0(2), β=77.0(2), γ=70.2(2)°, V=464.3(6) Å3, R1=0.0230, and wR2=0.0602 for all data. BaSr2Ge3O9 is characterized by three-membered rings of germanate tetrahedra. There are three crystallographically different Ge sites (Ge1, Ge2, and Ge3) in each [Ge3O9]6− ring. The rings occur in layers with the apices of alternating rings pointing in opposite directions. The Sr2+ and Ba2+ ions are located in between. The Sr1 cation is eight-fold coordinated, while Sr2 is octahedrally surrounded by oxide anions, and the Ba cation again eight-fold coordinated.
Anodic Voltammetric Behavior of Lincomycin and its Electroanalytical Determination in Pharmaceutical Dosage form and Urine at Gold Electrode

Published: October 2016

AbstractThe anodic voltammetric behavior of an antibiotic drug, lincomycin hydrochloride (LIN) at gold electrode (GE) has been investigated using cyclic and linear sweep voltammetry. The dependence of the current on pH, concentration and scan rate were investigated to optimize the experimental conditions for the determination of lincomycin. The anodic peak was characterized and the process was adsorption-controlled. The number of electrons transferred in the oxidation process was calculated. In the range of 8.0×10−6to 1.0×10−4M, the current measured by linear sweep voltammetry presents a good linear property as a function of the concentration of lincomycin with a detection limit of 1.7×10−7M with good selectivity and sensitivity. The proposed method was successfully applied to lincomycin determination in pharmaceutical dosage form and in urine as a real sample. This method can be employed in clinical analysis, quality control and routine determination of drugs in pharmaceutical formulations.

Published: October 2016

Background: Developing a drug carrier with favorable handling characteristics that can respond to environmental changes after inflammation, such as pH changes, may be beneficial for treating periodontitis. This study aims to investigate the preclinical feasibility of using naringin, a naturally derived polymethoxylated flavonoid compound with anti‐inflammatory properties, to inhibit periodontitis induction via a thermogelling and pH‐responsive injectable hydrogel.Methods: The hydrogel was made of amphipathic carboxymethyl‐hexanoyl chitosan (CHC), β‐glycerol phosphate (β‐GP), and glycerol. Thermogelling and pH‐responsive characteristics of the hydrogel, as well as cell viability after treatment with the hydrogel containing naringin, were evaluated in vitro. Hydrogel was subgingivally delivered when experimental periodontitis was induced in vivo, and therapeutic effect was evaluated with microcomputed tomography imaging, histology, and expression of inflammation‐associated genes, including toll‐like receptor (TLR)2, the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), myeloid differentiation primary response gene‐88, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α.Results: The hydrogel was consistently fluidic at 4°C but rapidly gelled at 37°C. Release of naringin was faster at pH 5.5 to 6.5, and viability was significantly promoted by treatment with 0.85% naringin. Naringin‐carrying CHC‐β‐GP‐glycerol hydrogel sites showed significantly reduced periodontal bone loss (P <0.05) and inflammatory infiltration (P <0.01) as well as significantly downregulated TLR2 (P <0.05), RAGE (P <0.01), and TNF‐α (P <0.05) relative to the sites with experimental periodontitis alone.Conclusion: Naringin‐carrying CHC‐β‐GP‐glycerol colloidal hydrogel can be used to inhibit induction of experimental periodontitis with favorable handling and inflammation‐responsive characteristics.

Published: October 2016

Rice planting on dry and wet seasons faces a specific climatological characteristic, which affects directly on rice growth and yield. Fifteen rice genotypes were evaluated for their seasonal planting adaptation at Sukamandi Experimental Station, Subang, West Java, during the dry and wet seasons of 2009-2010.<br />Randomized complete block design with three replications was applied on the experiment. Plot size was 4 m x 6 m and plant spacing was 20 cm x 20 cm. Standard agronomic practices were applied on both planting season experiments. Data were collected for major morphological traits, days to grain maturity and grain yield, measured on wet and dry basis (11% moisture content). Data were analysed for analyses of variance for each season and for combined seasons, and mean values separation of the variable used the 5% Duncan Multiple Range Test. Correlation between grain yields and morphological variable data were computed for each season and for combined seasons. The correlation coefficients of variables and grain yield were partitioned into direct and indirect causes using path analyses. Combined analyses of variances indicated significant effects of genotypes, seasons and genotypes x seasons interaction for almost all variables, including grain yields, suggesting there were seasonal adaptation specificity among genotypes. Five genotypes were identified as suitable for dry season planting, and nine<br />genotypes as suitable for wet season planting. Among those genotypes, three genotypes, namely Mekongga, Inpari-10 and OM 5240 were suitable for both dry and wet season planting. Ciherang and Cigeulis varieties were more suitable for dry season, while Cibogo, Inpari-1, Inpari-3, Inpari-5, and Inpari-8 were more suitable for wet season planting. Adopting the most productive rice varieties for planting on dry or wet season as was suggested on this research should increase rice production substantially. To facilitate the availability of varieties adapted<br />for a specific planting season, rice breeding should purposedly apply a directional selection of lines suitable for specific planting season, starting on the early generation of selection. <br />

Published: October 2016

Sampai saat ini mutu bunga sedap malam (Polianthes tuberose L.) yang diproduksi oleh petani kecil belum dapat memenuhi mutu sesuai kebutuhan pasar. Penurunan mutu bunga sedap malam diduga berkaitan dengan kurangnya keseragaman diameter tangkai bunga, bentuk tangkai bunga, dan sebagainya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendapatkan informasi mengenai karakteristik mutu bunga potong sedap malam komersial di sentra-sentra produksi. Mutu bunga sedap malam sangat ditentukan oleh ukuran tangkai bunga dan kesegaran bunga. Penelitian dilakukan sejak bulan Juli 2006 sampai dengan Februari 2007. Sampel bunga potong sedap malam dipanen dari daerah Cianjur (Jawa Barat), Bandungan (Jawa Tengah), dan Pasuruan (Jawa Timur) masing-masing sebanyak 100 tangkai untuk diamati karakteristik fisiknya, yaitu panjang tangkai bunga, diameter bunga, panjang bunga, warna, dan kesegaran bunga. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bunga potong sedap malam dari daerah Jawa Timur adalah tipe bunga tunggal dengan jumlah bunga per malai 49,1 ± 8,2, stadia kemekaran bunga 1,6±0,5, dan diameter tangkai bunga 10,8±1,5 cm. Aroma bunga sangat tajam, dengan penampilan lebih ramping dibanding bunga potong sedap malam asal Jawa Barat dan Jawa Tengah. Informasi mengenai mutu bunga potong sedap malam sangat bermanfaat bagi pedagang atau eksportir untuk mendapatkan produk yang diinginkan pasar atau konsumen.<br /><br /><br /><br />Quality of tuberose cut flowers which are produced by small farmers until now has not enough to fulfil market demand. The decrease of tuberose cut flower quality is believed to be related to unavailability of stalk diameter and other flower characteristics. The aim of the study was to determine quality characteristics of fresh tuberose cut flowers harvested from farmer field in production centers. Tuberose cut flowers quality is mainly affected by the flowers size and freshness. The research was conducted from July 2006 to February 2007. Tuberose cut flower were freshly harvested at farmer field in Cianjur (West Java), Bandungan (Central Java), and Pasuruan (East Java), 100 samples collected from each district. The cut flower samples were observed and evaluated for physical appearance i.e. length of flower stalk, diameter, color, and freshness. The results showed that the tuberose cut flower from East Java was a single type with flower number 49.1 ± 8.2, the number of opening flower 1.6 ± 0.5, stem diameter 10.8 ± 1.5 cm. The aroma of the flowers was very keen compared to slimmer appearance of delicate tuberose cut flowers from West Java and Central Java. The information of tuberose cut flowers characteristics will benefit to saler or exporters to obtain the product that demanded by market and consumers.
