Success Story or Traumatic Experience? An Attempt to Integrate Trauma Theory with Oral History Research for the Interpretation of First-Person Stories
Authors: Jaago Tiiu ,   Institute of Cultural Research, University of Tartu, Tartu, Estonia
Published: July 2024

This article focuses on the following issues: (1) how a narrator describes life under political repression in a retrospective first-person story; (2) the extent to which such a story can be analysed from the perspective of trauma theory; (3) what the use of trauma theory in combination with the methods of folk narrative and oral history research can offer for a more diverse interpretation of such a story. The story selected for observation was written in 2001, focusing on events in Soviet Estonia (1940–1941, 1944–1991). At the time of telling this story, the Soviet era was publicly interpreted as a period of interruption of Estonian cultural and political continuity. Social scientists observed the Soviet period from the perspective of cultural trauma. In this way, the narrator presented complex past events in a framework that points to the restoration of historical justice. Although this story represents a positive attitude towards historical and cultural developments in Estonia, the analysis of this story indicates that traces of trauma can be found at the levels of the story that reflect the formation of the narrator’s identity.

Biofloc technology is a solution to the problem of waste management in aquaculture. Biofloc systems are beneficial because they not only reduce inorganic nitrogen waste from feed residues and fish excrement but also produce flocs. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of silica addition on floc volume density in the biofloc system for juvenile red tilapia. The research was conducted from January to March 2024 at the Center of Excellence in Science and Technology (PUI-PT) for Functional Nano Powder at Padjadjaran University. This study uses a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) experimental method with four treatments and three replications. The treatments used were (A) control, (B) 15 ppm silica, (C) 20 ppm silica, and (D) 25 ppm silica. The study used cylindrical containers with a capacity of 19 liters filled with 15 liters of water, a stocking density of 10 juvenile red tilapia per cylinder, with the juvenile measuring 3-4 cm and weighing 3-4 g. The parameters observed were floc volume density and water quality. The data on floc volume density and water quality were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the addition of 25 ppm silica in the biofloc system was the best treatment for floc volume density. This was evidenced by the results in treatment D (25 ppm) achieving a floc volume density of 26.5 ml/L, which falls into the dense category. Therefore, the addition of silica concentration in the biofloc system can increase floc volume density.

The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the performance of okra genotypes for growth, yield and quality parameters. Okra is often cross-pollinated and is grown primarily for its fruits, which have various culinary uses. Tender fruits are commonly boiled or used in sliced and fried dishes. Okra fruits are also dried in the sun, canned, or dehydrated for preservation during the off-season. The study was carried out at New Orchard, Main Agricultural Research Station, UAS, Raichur, during late Kharif 2021-22 using thirty-one genotypes (including the check variety Arka Anamika) and laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences (p < 0.05) among genotypes for all traits studied. Genotype OPL-2127 recorded the highest plant height (96.52 cm), stem girth (14.26 mm), number of leaves per plant (23.20), leaf area index (3.08), number of nodes per plant (13.60), chlorophyll content (59.61 SPAD readings), fruit length (18.69 cm), fruit yield per plant (293.53 g), fruit yield per hectare (16.4 t) and it is found to be superior over the other okra genotypes under the study. The highest fruit girth (41.36 mm) was noted in the genotypes OPL-2108. The genotype OPL-2119 recorded the minimum number of days to 50 per cent flowering (38.00) which indicates the earliness of the genotypes. OPL-2023 recorded the highest fibre content (16.09 %). The genotypes OPL-2127, OPL-2121, OPL-2116, OPL-2115 and OPL-2113 were found to be superior okra genotypes for yield and quality and they can be used in future breeding and crop improvement program.
Verfassungs- und sozialrechtliche Überlegungen zu den geplanten sektorenübergreifenden Versorgungseinrichtungen
Authors: Deister Sören 
Published: July 2024

Zusammenfassung
Die Forderung nach einer „Überwindung“ der Sektorengrenzen oder zumindest „Verzahnung“ der im deutschen Gesundheitswesen traditionell getrennten Sektoren ambulanter und stationärer Gesundheitsversorgung gehört zum Standardrepertoire gesundheitspolitischer Reformpapiere. Sie ist gut begründbar, da die getrennten Planungssysteme und Versorgungspfade eine kontinuierliche Gesundheitsversorgung erschweren und mit vermeidbarem Aufwand verbunden sind. Die Reformen der jüngeren Zeit haben die strikte Trennung überwiegend im Sinne einer Erweiterung der ambulanten Behandlungsmöglichkeiten von Krankenhäusern gelockert. Mit den „sektorenübergreifenden Versorgungseinrichtungen“ des Entwurfs zum Krankenhausversorgungsverbesserungsgesetz (KHVVG) wird ein Versuch der lokalen Bündelung stationärer, vertragsärztlicher und (alten-)pflegerischer Versorgung in einer neuen Art von Krankenhaus unternommen. Der folgende Beitrag stellt zunächst den Reformvorschlag dar (I.) und untersucht sodann zentrale verfassungsrechtliche (II.) Probleme.
Verfassungsbeschwerde: Alle Wege führen nach Luxemburg? Überlegungen zur Vorlagepflicht bei den Verrechnungspreisen im Lichte von BVerfG, Urt. v. 8.11.2023 – 2 BvR 1079/20
Authors: Heidecke Björn , Kircher Markus , Marburg Conrad 
Published: July 2024

Zusammenfassung
Das BVerfG hat nun schon zweimal eine Entscheidung des BFH zu Verrechnungspreisen aufgehoben, weil das Recht auf den gesetzlichen Richter verletzt wurde. Ein weiteres Verfahren zu diesem Thema ist beim BVerfG anhängig. Nach Auffassung des EuGH ist eine diskriminierende Verrechnungspreisanpassung bei grenzüberschreitenden Sachverhalten zwar vertretbar, aber nur, wenn die Korrektur verhältnismäßig und auf das Erforderliche beschränkt ist. Hierbei muss dem Steuerpflichtigen die Möglichkeit eingeräumt werden, wirtschaftliche Gründe für eine Abweichung vom Fremdvergleich vorzubringen. Dies ist in den ergangenen BFH-Entscheidungen nicht passiert. Wir kommen zu dem Ergebnis, dass in Zukunft noch mehr Verrechnungspreisfälle beim EuGH landen werden, sofern die deutschen Gerichte sich nicht mit der Frage befassen, welche wirtschaftlichen Gründe eine Abweichung vom Fremdvergleich legitimieren. Dies ist nach unserer Einschätzung nicht nur auf Finanzierungsbeziehungen beschränkt.

In vivo baseline measurements of hip joint range of motion in suspensory and nonsuspensory anthropoids
Authors: Hammond Ashley S. 
Published: November 2013

AbstractHominoids and atelines are known to use suspensory behaviors and are assumed to possess greater hip joint mobility than nonsuspensory monkeys, particularly for range of abduction. This assumption has greatly influenced how extant and fossil primate hip joint morphology has been interpreted, despite the fact that there are no data available on hip mobility in hominoids or Ateles. This study uses in vivo measurements to test the hypothesis that suspensory anthropoids have significantly greater ranges of hip joint mobility than nonsuspensory anthropoids. Passive hip joint mobility was measured on a large sample of anesthetized captive anthropoids (nonhuman hominids = 43, hylobatids = 6, cercopithecids = 43, Ateles = 6, and Cebus = 6). Angular and linear data were collected using goniometers and tape measures. Range of motion (ROM) data were analyzed for significant differences by locomotor group using ANOVA and phylogenetic regression. The data demonstrate that suspensory anthropoids are capable of significantly greater hip abduction and external rotation. Degree of flexion and internal rotation were not larger in the suspensory primates, indicating that suspension is not associated with a global increase in hip mobility. Future work should consider the role of external rotation in abduction ability, how the physical position of the distal limb segments are influenced by differences in ROM proximally, as well as focus on bony and soft tissue differences that enable or restrict abduction and external rotation at the anthropoid hip joint.

Published: November 2013

AbstractMetal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated great potentials in a variety of important applications. To enhance the inherent properties and endow materials with multifunctionality, the rational design and synthesis of MOFs with nanoscale porosity and hollow feature is highly desired and remains a great challenge. In this work, the formation of a series of well‐defined MOF (MOF‐5, FeII‐MOF‐5, FeIII‐MOF‐5) hollow nanocages by a facile solvothermal method, without any additional supporting template is reported. A surface‐energy‐driven mechanism may be responsible for the formation of hollow nanocages. The addition of pre‐synthesized poly(vinylpyrrolidone)‐ (PVP) capped noble‐metal nanoparticles into the synthetic system of MOF hollow nanocages yields the yolk–shell noble metal@MOF nanostructures. The present strategy to fabricate hollow and yolk–shell nanostructures is expected to open up exciting opportunities for developing a novel class of inorganic–organic hybrid functional nanomaterials.
Improved Glucose‐Neopentyl Glycol (GNG) Amphiphiles for Membrane Protein Solubilization and Stabilization

Published: November 2013

AbstractMembrane proteins are inherently amphipathic and undergo dynamic conformational changes for proper function within native membranes. Maintaining the functional structures of these biomacromolecules in aqueous media is necessary for structural studies but difficult to achieve with currently available tools, thus necessitating the development of novel agents with favorable properties. This study introduces several new glucose‐neopentyl glycol (GNG) amphiphiles and reveals some agents that display favorable behaviors for the solubilization and stabilization of a large, multi‐subunit membrane protein assembly. Furthermore, a detergent structure–property relationship that could serve as a useful guideline for the design of novel amphiphiles is discussed.

Authors: Harji D P , Griffiths B , Burke D , Sagar P M 
Published: November 2013

Abstract

Background
Laparoscopic surgery (LS) has become standard practice for a range of elective general surgical operations. Its role in emergency general surgery is gaining momentum. This study aimed to assess the outcomes of LS compared with open surgery (OS) for colorectal resections in the emergency setting.

Methods
A systematic review was performed of studies reporting outcomes of laparoscopic colorectal resections in the acute or emergency setting in patients aged over 18 years, between January 1966 and January 2013.

Results
Twenty-two studies were included, providing outcomes for 5557 patients: 932 laparoscopic and 4625 open emergency resections. Median (range) operating time was 184 (63–444) min for LSversus 148 (61–231) min for OS. Median (range) length of stay was 10 (3–23) and 15 (6–33) days in the LS and OS groups respectively. The overall median (range) complication rate was 27·8 (0–33·3) and 48·3 (9–72) per cent respectively. There were insufficient data to detect differences in reoperation and readmission rates.

Conclusion
Emergency laparoscopic colorectal resection, where technically feasible, has better short-term outcomes than open resection.
Cortical morphology in children with alcohol‐related neurodevelopmental disorder
Authors: Rajaprakash Meghna , Chakravarty M. Mallar , Lerch Jason P. , Rovet Joanne 
Published: November 2013

AbstractIntroductionIt is well established that individuals exposed to alcohol in utero have reduced cortical grey matter volumes. However, the candidate determinants of these reductions, cortical thickness (CT) and surface area (SA), have not been investigated exclusively in alcohol‐related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND), the most prevalent fetal alcohol spectrum disorder subgroup that lacks the characteristic facial dysmorphology.MethodsT1‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans were obtained from 88 participants (8–16 years), 36 diagnosed with ARND and 52 typically developing controls. Scans were submitted to the CIVET pipeline (version 1.1.10). Deformable models were used to construct the inner white matter surfaces and pial surfaces from which CT and SA measures were derived. Group differences in cortical volume, CT, and SA were computed using a general linear model covaried for age, sex, and handedness.ResultsGlobal cortical volume reductions in ARND did not reflect CT, which did not differ between groups. Instead, volume decreases were consistent with global SA reductions in bilateral frontal and temporal as well as right occipital regions. Local reductions in SA were observed in the right superior temporal gyrus and the right occipital‐temporal region.ConclusionResults suggest that in ARND, prenatal alcohol exposure perturbs global SA to a greater degree than CT, particularly in the right temporal lobe.
Timeliness of second opinion appointed doctors' assessments of treatment plans for patients detained in medium security hospitals in London, UK
Authors: Murphy Paula , Ajaz Ali 
Published: November 2013

ABSTRACTBackgroundMental health legislation in England & Wales requires assessment by a second opinion appointed doctor (SOAD) to safeguard the rights of patients detained in a hospital under this law if they are either refusing certain treatments or are deemed incapable of consenting to them.AimsOur aim was to evaluate timeliness of SOAD assessments.MethodData were collected from the Mental Health Act administrator on all SOAD requests in 1 year for all in‐patients in two English medium security hospital units.ResultsOne hundred and six patients required a SOAD assessment during the 1‐year period examined, of a combined resident total of 295, as did a further 14 patients who had been discharged from hospital and were subject to a community treatment order. About half of the inpatients were seen by a SOAD within 30 days and a further quarter within 60 days, but the remaining quarter waited up to 150 days or more.Discussion and implicationsThese results suggest that in these trusts, unlikely to be atypical, neither patients nor clinicians are being adequately protected by legal safeguards on decisions to treat with medication (or electroconvulsive therapy) in the event of impaired competence for decisions about mental health treatments.

There should be clear standards for the appropriate length of time from referral to assessment by an independent doctor (SOAD).
Compliance with standards should be transparent, so anonymised data on the matter should be routinely collected and stored by health trust Mental Health Act offices.
Data should be monitored at agreed intervals by an independent body. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Self‐Assembled Selenium Monolayers: From Nanotechnology to Materials Science and Adaptive Catalysis
Authors: Romashov Leonid V. , Ananikov Valentine P. 
Published: November 2013

AbstractSelf‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) of selenium have emerged into a rapidly developing field of nanotechnology with several promising opportunities in materials chemistry and catalysis. Comparison between sulfur‐based self‐assembled monolayers and newly developed selenium‐based monolayers reveal outstanding complimentary features on surface chemistry and highlighted the key role of the headgroup element. Diverse structural properties and reactivity of organosulfur and organoselenium groups on the surface provide flexible frameworks to create new generations of materials and adaptive catalysts with unprecedented selectivity. Important practical utility of adaptive catalytic systems deals with development of sustainable technologies and industrial processes based on natural resources. Independent development of nanotechnology, materials science and catalysis has led to the discovery of common fundamental principles of the surface chemistry of chalcogen compounds.
