ACTS OF FAITH, FAITH IN ACTION:WHAT ALONE IN BERLIN AND THE 2011 ‘UNGEKÜRZTE NEUAUSGABE’ OF JEDER STIRBT FÜR SICH ALLEIN TELL US ABOUT HANS FALLADA'S VIEW OF ANTI‐NAZI RESISTANCE
Authors: Plow Geoffrey 
Published: March 2012

ABSTRACT The publishing success of Alone in Berlin, Michael Hofmann's translation of Jeder stirbt für sich allein, has drawn the attention of English‐speaking readers to Hans Fallada's novel for the first time. Fallada focuses on the relatively unplanned nature of his characters’ anti‐Nazi resistance. However, previously unavailable and unpublished material now available in the 2011 ‘Ungekürzte Neuausgabe’ of the work reveals that Fallada did not wish to portray the resistance as naïve and simplistic (as had been suggested by the Aufbau Verlag's editing of the original 1947 edition). The final scene of the novel is identified as a precursor of GDR socialist realism as it evolved in the 1950s. It is set in relation to Anna Seghers's 1949 short story ‘Die Rückkehr’. Fallada's emphasis on the importance of instinct and acts of faith within the practice of anti‐Nazi resistance is contrasted with Seghers's more developed ideological vision. This state of affairs is seen as no reason to view Fallada's novel any more disparagingly: his relative lack of concentration on ideological detail is a function of a more abiding interest in the actions of human beings who find themselves in extremis and hence more reliant on faith and instinct.Der Erfolg von Alone in Berlin, Michael Hofmanns Übersetzung von Jeder stirbt für sich allein, hat zum ersten Mal die Aufmerksamkeit von anglophonen Lesern auf Hans Falladas Roman gelenkt. Falladas Schilderung des antinazistischen Widerstands hebt das Ungeplante am Handeln der Charaktere im Roman besonders hervor. Die Handelnden sind aber keineswegs naïv, wie die 1947 veröffentlichte und im Aufbau Verlag edierte Fassung des Romans zu verstehen gegeben hat. Dieser Eindruck wird von neuem Material endgültig beseitigt, das in der 2011 veröffentlichten ‘Ungekürzten Neuausgabe’ vorgestellt wurde. Die Schlussszene des Romans wird als Vorläufer des in den fünfziger Jahren in der DDR weit verbreiteten sozialistischen Realismus identifiziert. Ein Vergleich mit Anna Seghers’ Kurzgeschichte ‘Die Rückkehr’ (1949) wird angestellt. Falladas Betonung der Rolle des Instinkts und des Vertrauens, was den antinazistischen Widerstand betrifft, wird mit Seghers’ ausführlicherer ideologischer Vision kontrastiert. Das bedeutet aber nicht, dass Falladas Roman geringgeschätzt werden sollte. Der relative Mangel an ideologischem Detail zeugt für ein entsprechend größeres Interesse am menschlichen Handeln und an denjenigen, die in extremen Zuständen eher auf Vertrauen und Instinkt angewiesen sind.

Election in Bonhoeffer's Ethics: Discerning a Late Revision
Authors: PUFFER MATTHEW 
Published: March 2012

AbstractEvidence that Bonhoeffer incorporates and responds to portions of Barth's Church Dogmatics II/2 in chapters thought to have been produced without access to Barth's fresh treatment of election mandate a revaluation of Bonhoeffer's controversial ethic and a reconsideration of the hermeneutic proper to his Ethics. Bonhoeffer's conception of election underwent a development from his public academic genesis in Sanctorum Communio to his posthumously published Ethics. His treatment of election in ‘God's Love and the Disintegration of the World’ demonstrates the doctrine's prominent role in his final attempts at reforming Christian ethics and his critique of all previous ethics. Attending to the influence of election illuminates developments in Bonhoeffer's thinking about two of the primary concepts associated with his Ethics–Stellvertretung and Schuldübernahme.
On the evolution of morphogenetic models: mechano‐chemical interactions and an integrated view of cell differentiation, growth, pattern formation and morphogenesis
Authors: Urdy Séverine 
Published: March 2012

In the 1950s, embryology was conceptualized as four relatively independent problems: cell differentiation, growth, pattern formation and morphogenesis. The mechanisms underlying the first three traditionally have been viewed as being chemical in nature, whereas those underlying morphogenesis have usually been discussed in terms of mechanics. Often, morphogenesis and its mechanical processes have been regarded as subordinate to chemical ones.However, a growing body of evidence indicates that the biomechanics of cells and tissues affect in striking ways those phenomena often thought of as mainly under the control of cell‐cell signalling. This accumulation of data has led to a revival of the mechano‐transduction concept in particular, and of complexity in general, causing us now to consider whether we should retain the traditional conceptualization of development.The researchers' semantic preferences for the terms ‘patterning’, ‘pattern formation’ or ‘morphogenesis’ can be used to describe three main ‘schools of thought' which emerged in the late 1970s. In the ‘molecular school’, the term patterning is deeply tied to the positional information concept. In the ‘chemical school’, the term ‘pattern formation’ regularly implies reaction‐diffusion models. In the ‘mechanical school’, the term ‘morphogenesis’ is more frequently used in relation to mechanical instabilities. Major differences among these three schools pertain to the concept of self‐organization, and models can be classified as morphostatic or morphodynamic. Various examples illustrate the distorted picture that arises from the distinction among differentiation, growth, pattern formation and morphogenesis, based on the idea that the underlying mechanisms are respectively chemical or mechanical.Emerging quantitative approaches integrate the concepts and methods of complex sciences and emphasize the interplay between hierarchical levels of organizationviamechano‐chemical interactions. They draw upon recent improvements in mathematical and numerical morphogenetic models and upon considerable progress in collecting new quantitative data. This review highlights a variety of such models, which exhibit important advances, such as hybrid, stochastic and multiscale simulations.
Resource‐constrained project scheduling through the goal programming model: integration of the manager's preferences
Authors: Gagnon Michel , d'Avignon Gilles , Aouni Belaid 
Published: March 2012

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to present a multi‐objective project scheduling approach to help project managers when deciding on a baseline schedule. The concepts of satisfaction functions and goal programming are incorporated to generate this baseline schedule that represents the best compromise among a set of conflicting project objectives. An efficient computerized procedure based on the tabu search algorithm is proposed and enables the handling of large planning and scheduling projects.
Aggregate planning through the imprecise goal programming model: integration of the manager's preferences
Authors: Mezghani Mouna , Loukil Taicir , Aouni Belaïd 
Published: March 2012

AbstractAggregate planning involves planning the best quantity to be produced during time periods in the medium‐range horizon at the lowest cost. Usually, the production manager seeks a plan that simultaneously optimizes several incommensurable and conflicting objectives, such as total cost, level of inventories, level of customer service, fluctuation in workforce, and utilization level of the physical facility and equipment. The goal programming (GP) model is one of the best known multi‐objective programming models that considers simultaneously several conflicting objectives to select the most satisfactory solution among a set of feasible solutions. In the production planning problem, the goals and the technological parameters are naturally imprecise. Moreover, the existing GP formulations developed in industrial engineering and aggregate production planning do not explicitly incorporate the manager's preferences. The aim of this paper is to develop a GP formulation within an imprecise environment where the concept of satisfaction function will be utilized to explicitly introduce the manager's preferences into the aggregate planning model.
Statin Therapy and Hemodialysis Vascular Access—Were We Bringing a Knife to a Gunfight and Were Hoping to Win?
Authors: Florescu Marius C. , Birch Nathan 
Published: March 2012

AbstractVascular access dysfunction is a major contributor to end stage renal disease patient morbidity, and the cost of maintaining it is staggering. Any intervention able to improve the vascular access maturation rate and/or patency would be significant progress. Based on the anti‐inflammatory and vascular beneficial effects demonstrated in non‐end stage renal disease patients, we were hoping that statin use might provide the much needed improvement in the hemodialysis vascular access outcome. The reality proved disappointing. The statins failed to improve every aspect of hemodialysis vascular access studied. The present editorial discusses the current data regarding the effect of statins on vascular access and attempts to explain their lack of success.
TAXONOMIC REVISIONS OF MORPHOLOGICALLY SIMILAR SPECIES FROM TWO EUGLENOID GENERA: EUGLENA (E. GRANULATA AND E. VELATA) AND EUGLENARIA (EU. ANABAENA, EU. CAUDATA, AND EU. CLAVATA)1

The establishment of epitypes (together with the emended diagnoses) for three species of Euglenaria Karnkowska, E. W. Linton et Kwiatowski [Eu. anabaena (Mainx) Karnkowska et E. W. Linton; Eu. caudata (Hübner) Karnkowska et E. W. Linton; and Eu. clavata (Skuja) Karnkowska et E. W. Linton] and two species of Euglena Ehrenberg [E. granulata (Klebs) Schmitz and E. velata Klebs] was achieved due to literature studies, verification of morphological diagnostic features (cell size, cell shape, number of chloroplasts, the presence of mucocysts), as well as molecular characters (SSU rDNA). Now all these species are easy to identify and distinguish, despite their high morphological similarity, that is, spindle‐shaped (or cylindrically spindle‐shaped) cells and parietal, lobed chloroplasts with a single pyrenoid, accompanied by bilateral paramylon caps located on both sides of the chloroplast. E. granulata is the only species in this group that has spherical mucocysts. E. velata is distinguished by the largest cells (90–150 μm) and has the highest number of chloroplasts (>30). Eu. anabaena has the fewest chloroplasts (usually 3–6), and its cells are always (whether the organism is swimming or not) spindle‐shaped or cylindrically spindle‐shaped, in contrast to the cells of Eu. clavata, which are club‐shaped (clavate) while swimming and only after stopping change to resemble the shape of a spindle or a cylindrical spindle; Eu. clavata has numerous chloroplasts (15–20). Eu. caudata is characterized by asymmetrical spindle‐shaped (fusiform) cells, that is, with an elongated rear section and a shorter front section; the number of chloroplasts normally ranges from 7 to 15.
DESCRIPTION OF TWO NEW MONOECIOUS SPECIES OF VOLVOX SECT. VOLVOX (VOLVOCACEAE, CHLOROPHYCEAE), BASED ON COMPARATIVE MORPHOLOGY AND MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY OF CULTURED MATERIAL1

Species of Volvox sect. Volvox (Volvocaceae, Chlorophyceae) are unique because they have thick cytoplasmic bridges between somatic cells and spiny‐walled zygotes. This section is taxonomically important because the genus Volvox is polyphyletic. However, taxonomic studies of species in Volvox sect. Volvox have not been carried out on cultured material. Here, we performed a taxonomic study of monoecious species of Volvox sect. Volvox based on the comparative morphology and molecular phylogeny of chloroplast genes and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of nuclear rDNA using various strains originating from Japan and two preserved strains from the USA. The strains were clearly divided into four species, V. globator L., V. barberi W. Shaw, V. kirkiorum sp. nov., and V. ferrisii sp. nov., on the basis of differences in numbers of zygotes (eggs) in the sexual spheroids, form of zygote wall, and somatic cell shape. Sequences for ITS of nuclear rDNA resolved that the two new species have phylogenetic positions separated from V. globator, V. barberi, V. capensis F. Rich et Pocock, and V. rousseletii G. S. West UTEX 1862 within Volvox sect. Volvox.
Wind Power as a Case Study
Authors: Price Lindsay , Kendall Alissa 
Published: March 2012

SummaryMeta‐analyses of life cycle assessments (LCAs) have become increasingly important in the context of renewable energy technologies and the decisions and policies that influence their adoption. However, a lack of transparency in reporting modeling assumptions, data, and results precludes normalizing across incommensurate system boundaries or key assumptions. This normalization step is critical for conducting valid meta‐analyses.Thus it is necessary to establish clear methods for assessing transparency and to develop conventions for LCA reporting that promote future comparisons. While concerns over transparency in LCA have long been discussed in the literature, the methods proposed to address these concerns have not focused on the transparency and reporting characteristics required for performing meta‐analyses. In this study we identify guidelines for assessing reporting transparency that anticipate the needs of meta‐analyses of LCA applied to renewable energy technologies.These guidelines were developed after an attempt to perform a meta‐analysis on wind turbine LCAs of 1 megawatt and larger, with the goal of determining how life cycle performance, as measured by global warming intensity, might trend with turbine size. The objective was to normalize system boundaries and environmental conditions, and reinterpret global warming potential with new impact assessment methods. Previous wind LCAs were reviewed and assessed for reporting transparency. Only a small subset of studies proved to be sufficiently transparent for the normalization of system boundaries and modeling assumptions required for meta‐analyses.
Suicidal Ideation and Perceived Burdensomeness in Patients with Chronic Pain

Published: March 2012

AbstractThere is a clear relationship between suicide risk and chronic pain conditions. However, the exact nature of this link has been poorly understood, with risk attribution often limited to comorbid depression. Perceived burdensomeness has already been confirmed as a risk factor for suicidal ideation (SI) and suicide attempt in the general population. Self‐perceived burden, studied among medically and terminally ill medical populations, has begun to receive a great deal of attention as a suicide risk factor. However, this risk has not been considered in an outpatient chronic pain population, a group likely to experience perceived burdensomeness as a particular problem. Guidelines recommend routine suicide risk screening in medical settings, but many questionnaires are time‐consuming and do not allow for the assessment of the presence of newly identified risk constructs, such as perceived burdensomeness. This retrospective study examined the relationship between depression, perceived burdensomeness, and SI in a patient sample seeking behavioral treatment for chronic pain management. A logistic regression model was developed, with preliminary results indicating perceived burdensomeness was the sole predictor of SI, even in the presence of other well‐established risk factors such as age, gender, depressive symptoms, and pain severity. Findings highlight the potential utility of a single‐item screening question in routine clinical care as an incrementally superior predictor of SI in a chronic pain population.

Partial Coronary Sinus Disconnection During Atrial Tachycardia. Introduction: Persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation may lead to partial disconnection of the coronary sinus (CS). As a result, disparate activation sequences of the local CS versus contiguous left atrium (LA) may be observed during atrial tachycardia (AT). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of this phenomenon and its impact on activation mapping.Methods: AT occurring after persistent AF ablation were investigated in 74 consecutive patients. Partial CS disconnection during AT was suspected when double potentials with disparate activation sequences were observed on the CS catheter. Endocardial mapping facing CS bipoles was performed to differentiate LA far‐field from local CS potentials.Results: A total of 149 ATs were observed. Disparate LA–CS activations were apparent in 20 ATs after magnifying the recording scale (13%). The most common pattern (90%) was distal to proximal endocardial LA activation against proximal to distal CS activation, the latter involving the whole CS or its distal part. Perimitral macroreentry was more common when disparate LA–CS activations were observed (67% vs 29%; P = 0.002). Partial CS disconnection also resulted in “pseudo” mitral isthmus (MI) block during LA appendage pacing in 20% of patients as local CS activation was proximal to distal despite distal to proximal activation of the contiguous LA.Conclusion: Careful analysis of CS recordings during AT following persistent AF ablation often reveals disparate patterns of activation. Recognizing when endocardial LA activation occurs in the opposite direction to the more obvious local CS signals is critical to avoid misleading interpretations during mapping of AT and evaluation of MI block.

“KWOMA RED”: Sharing Contemporary Experiences in a French Museum Context
Authors: Mélandri Magali 
Published: March 2012

AbstractThe exhibition Kwoma Red: Mythical Paintings from Papua New Guinea, shown at the Musée du quai Branly (Paris, France) in 2008–09, presented the paintings of three Kwoma contemporary artists from Papua New Guinea: Kowspi Marek, Chiphowka Kowspi, and Agatoak Kowspi. This exhibition was built around three principles: collaboration with the artists and the Kwoma communities, the affirmation of this culture's future, and the direct transmission of this culture to the public. Throughout the display, Kwoma myths, contemporary paintings, and artifacts from the museum's collection that were collected over the course of the 20th century were presented as complementary ways of making sense of the Kwoma world, from past to present. The development of this project revealed how deeply involved the contemporary artists were in transmitting ancient knowledge through new visual forms and toward new audiences, which has, for a long time, been the way Kwoma people conceive of arts and culture.
CHALLENGING THE DEAD HAND OF THE MUSEUM DISPLAY: The Case of Contemporary Guro (Côte d'Ivoire) Masquerades
Authors: Bouttiaux Anne‐Marie 
Published: March 2012

AbstractThis paper explores some of the methodological and theoretical challenges raised by the presentation of masks from the Guro region of the Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) in Persona, a 2009 exhibition at the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium. Along the Ivory Coast, masquerades are popular, but they also take place during important rituals such as campaigns against witchcraft, funeral ceremonies, and propitiatory cult events. Masks are used in dance performances, and these can only be related in a museum context through texts, photographs, music, and videos. Yet in spite of such efforts to communicate the dynamism of living cultures, exhibitions often become a kind of cenotaph, as if these cultures were dead. Museums thus tend to have a “deadening effect” on living cultures, placing them in a timeless and false past. How can we deal with this aspect of the displays, especially when we know that today's masquerades are profoundly influenced by modernity and urban culture?
ANCIENT AND MODERN: The Alaska Collections at the Hearst Museum of Anthropology
Authors: Graburn Nelson 
Published: March 2012

AbstractThis article examines a problem common to many museums of art and ethnology: how to exhibit old collections of traditional material culture from peoples who are very much alive and active today. As a case study, it examines the role and participation of the Alaskan Native peoples whose 19th‐century materials are to be exhibited; the design of the exhibition, including the contemporary arts and material cultural traditions in the traveling exhibition; and the itinerary of the exhibit, including the problem of presentations in Native villages. It places this case study within the evolution of museums' functions and stakeholders' expectations, in comparison with other forms of contemporary museums and cultural centers, as aspects of control and interpretation revert more and more into the hands of the source communities.
Production of melatonin by Saccharomyces strains under growth and fermentation conditions

Published: March 2012

Abstract:  Melatonin is a bioactive compound that is present in wine because it is contained in vinification grapes and synthesized by yeast during alcoholic fermentation. The purpose of this study was to determine the capacity of various Saccharomyces strains to form melatonin during its growth and alcoholic fermentation. A selection of yeasts including six S. cerevisiae (Lalvin CLOS, Lalvin ICV‐D254, Enoferm QA23 Viniferm ARM, Viniferm RVA, and Viniferm TTA), one S. uvarum (Lalvin S6U) and one S. cerevisiae var. bayanus (Uvaferm BC) were tested to determine whether they produce melatonin in yeast extract peptose dextrose and synthetic must media in a variety of conditions. Two S. cerevisiae strains (ARM, and QA23), the S. uvarum and the S. cerevisiae var. bayanus, synthesized melatonin. The conditions in which they did so, however, were different: the QA23 strain produced melatonin best in a medium with a low concentration of reducing sugars and Lalvin S6U and Uvaferm BC required a synthetic must under fermentation conditions. Melatonin synthesis largely depended on the growth phase of the yeasts and the concentration of tryptophan, reducing sugars and the growth medium. These results indicate that melatonin may have a role as a yeast growth signal molecule.
