Abstract
Residual antibiotics and organic dyes in wastewater have gained the current challenge all over the world because of their toxicity to humans and the environment. In this study, the bimetallic porous FeZn-ZIFs materials were successfully prepared under mild conditions at room temperature and atmospheric pressure and characterized by various techniques. The FeZn-ZIFs were used as a heterogeneous catalyst to remove tetracycline antibiotics (TC) and methyl violet 2B dyes (MV) in an aqueous solution by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PDS), respectively. The catalytic activity of FeZn-ZIFs towards TC and MV under different oxidant dosages, the catalyst dosage, the initial pollutant concentration, contact time, and reaction temperature were optimized. The results indicated that FeZn-ZIFs was an efficient catalyst for removing TC and MV based on advanced oxidant processes, having a removal capacity of 92% at TC concentration of 50 mg·L−1 and 95% MV concentration of 20 mg·L−1. More importantly, this bimetallic catalyst was identified the superior structural stability when the removal efficiency of TC and MV was maintained at approximately 90% after five cycles. In short, the FeZn-ZIFs and PMS/PDS system exhibited a promising application prospect for antibiotic and dye-containing wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In the current study, among 36 isolates, the bacterial strain M7 was selected as the highest cellulase producer and underwent traditional and molecular identification as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens M7. The productivity of the cellulase enzyme was optimized using the one-factor-at-a-time method. The optimization analysis showed that the best pH value for cellulase production was 7, in the presence of 1% bacterial inoculum size, 5 g·L−1 of carboxymethyl cellulose, 5 g·L−1 of peptone as nitrogen source, and incubation period of 24 h at a temperature of 35°C. The highest cellulase activity (64.98 U·mL−1) was obtained after optimizing conditions using BOX-Behnken Design. The maximum cellulase yield (75.53%) was obtained after precipitation by 60% ammonium sulfate, followed by purification by dialysis bag and Sephadex G-100 column chromatography. The purified cellulase enzyme was characterized by 6.38-fold enrichment, with specific activity (60.54 U·mg−1), and molecular weight of approximately 439.0 Da. The constituent of purified cellulase was 18 amino acids with high concentrations of 200 and 160 mg·L−1 for glycine and arginine, respectively. The purified cellulase enzyme was more stable and active at pH 8 and an incubation temperature of 50°C. The metal ions CaCl2, NaCl, and ZnO enhanced the activity of purified cellulase enzyme. Finally, the B. amyloliquefaciens M7-cellulase exhibits high bio-polishing activity of cotton fabrics with low weight loss (4.3%) which was attained at a maximum concentration (1%, v/v) for 90 min.
An overview of lab-based micro computed tomography aided finite element modelling of wood and its current bottlenecks
Authors: Florisson Sara , Gamstedt Erik Kristofer 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Microscopic lab-based X-ray computed tomography (XµCT) aided finite element (FE) modelling is a popular method with increasing nature within material science to predict local material properties of heterogeneous materials, e.g. elastic, hygroexpansion and diffusion. This method is relatively new to wood and lacks a clear methodology. Research intended to optimise the XµCT aided FE process often focuses on specific aspects within this process such as the XµCT scanning, segmentation or meshing, but not the entirety of the process. The compatibility and data transfer between aspects have not been investigated to the same extent, which creates errors that propagate and negatively impact the end results. In the current study, a methodology for the XµCT aided FE process of wood is suggested and its bottlenecks are identified based on a thorough literature review. Although the complexity of wood as a material makes it difficult to automate the XµCT aided FE process, the proposed methodology can assist in a more considered design and execution of this process. The main challenges that were identified include an automatic procedure to reconstruct the fibre orientation and to perform segmentation and meshing. A combined deep-learning segmentation method with geometry-based meshing can be suggested.
Machine learning in AI Factories – five theses for developing, managing and maintaining data-driven artificial intelligence at large scale
Authors: Hildesheim Wolfgang , Holoyad Taras , Schmid Thomas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is today’s dominating technological trend across all industries. With the maturing of deep learning and other data-driven techniques, AI has over the last decade become an essential component for an increasing number of products and services. In parallel to this development, technological advances have been accelerating the production of novel AI models from large-scale datasets. This global phenomenon has been driving the need for an efficient industrialized approach to develop, manage and maintain AI models at large scale. Such an approach is provided by the state-of-the-art operational concept termed AI Factory, which refers to an infrastructure for AI models and implements the idea of AI as a Service (AIaaS). Moreover, it ensures performance, transparency and reproducibility of AI models at any point in the continuous AI development process. This concept, however, does not only require new technologies and architectures, but also new job roles. Here, we discuss current trends, outline requirements and identify success factors for AI Factories. We conclude with recommendations for their successful use in practice as well as perspectives on future developments.
To Marry or To Write?—Sheng Qinxian and Her (Screen) Writing in 1940s Shanghai
Authors: Wei S. Louisa 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
During the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, writer-translator Sheng Qinxian (1921–2017) joined the script division of the Incorporated Film Studio of China and wrote the screenplays of three successful films: The Honourable Beggar (义丐 1944), Reunion of a Troubled Couple (冤家喜相逢 1945), and Modern Women (摩登女性 1945). Despite this success, she did not receive a writing credit for the third film, which might be one of the reasons that caused her to quit shortly after its theatrical release. It was never easy to be the only woman in any trade during this time, but Sheng’s story allows us to see an era from a unique perspective. What were her working conditions? Where is her position in Chinese film history? Did she make a unique contribution? This article aims to find answers to these questions in view of 1940s’ Shanghai cinema and via the context of Chinese culture and society before 1949.
“Pseudo-dialect” or “role language”? Speech varieties in three Japanese translations of Gone with the Wind
Authors: Trowell Haydn , Nambu Satoshi 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This study considers the use of dialectal and distinctive language features in three Japanese translations of the 1936 novel Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, published in 1938, 2015, and 2015–2016. Previous studies have noted that these translations adopt various linguistic features originating in dialects from Japan’s Tōhoku region when rendering the African American Vernacular English–influenced eye dialect spoken by Black enslaved characters, and suggest that this translation strategy draws on and reinforces negative social perceptions of real-life Tōhoku-dialect speakers. Conversely, through a dual approach involving both a comparative textual analysis and a quantitative perceptual survey, this study argues that these speech styles should be viewed rather as an enregistered form of “role language”: a speech variety unique to fictional contexts serving to identify a character archetype that in the eyes of a majority of readers is disassociated from any historical origin.
Konfessionskunde aus Sicht der Weltanschauungsarbeit
Authors: Funkschmidt Kai 
Published: November 2023

Zusammenfassung
Der Artikel setzt Wesen und Auftrag der Weltanschauungsarbeit (Apologetik) in Beziehung zur Konfessionskunde. Beide Arbeitsfelder haben in Theologie und Methoden viel gemeinsam. Der zentrale Unterschied besteht im Hinblick auf die Zielsetzung. Während die Weltanschauungsarbeit sich v. a. als Dienst an der Gesellschaft gestaltet, ist die Konfessionskunde eine binnenkirchliche Disziplin. Insofern hier Christen anderen Christen begegnen, steht sie unter dem ökumenischen Imperativ, das heißt unter der Zusage und Zumutung, „dass sie alle eins seien.“
Postkonfessionelles Christentum, Resonanzerfahrungen und Modernisierungskonflikte
Authors: Wagner Jochen 
Published: November 2023

Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag stellt die grundsätzliche Frage nach der Zukunft des konfessionellen Christentums. Zentral ist dabei der Begriff der konfessionellen Identität. Ferner wird ein weites Verständnis von Konfession als notwendig herausgearbeitet. Als basaler Aspekt einer Methodik der Konfessionskunde wird die Begegnung angeführt. Schließlich wird hervorgehoben, dass aktuelle Themen (Modernisierungskonflikte/Ethik) Teil einer Konfessionskunde sein müssen, wenn sie nicht anachronistisch sein will.
The role of ultrasonographic findings for PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-negative breast cancer
Authors: Li Shuo , Zhang Qi-Li , Guo Rui-Jun 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
To determine whether ultrasound (US) features of breast cancer are associated with Breast Imaging and Reporting Data System molecular subtype, histologic grade, and hormone receptor status as well as to assess the predictive value of these features. Retrospective analysis of the medical records of 220 consecutive patients with invasive breast cancer was reviewed according to the PIK3CA-mutated molecular tumor subtype. US findings of all patients were analyzed. Breast tumors harboring a PIK3CA-mutation were large and exhibited liquefied necrosis and posterior echo attenuation in the nodule. Moreover, such tumors were lobulated and calcified. The aspect ratio of the PIK3CA-mutant was more likely >1. The average nodule elasticity (7.479 ± 0.993 m/s) was measured using US shear wave elastography. Microcalcification was easier to detect inside the nodule using a fluorescence technique. Measurement of the nodule blood flow spectrum showed that the internal blood flow resistance index of nodules was lower than that of other types of breast cancer. The sonographic features of PIK3CA-mutated breast cancers were strongly associated with extensive and liquefied necrosis. The ability to predict molecular subtypes, particularly using US to detect the triple-negative subtype, may play an important role in early management and treatment.
Die Frühjahrsarbeiten der Aufklärungs-streitkräfte und weitere neue Dokumente zur Entwicklung des deutschen seestrategischen Denkens im Ersten Weltkrieg
Authors: Miertzschke Benjamin 
Published: November 2023

Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag befasst sich mit kürzlich entdeckten Quellen aus dem Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv, welche ein neues Licht auf die Entwicklung des deutschen seestrategischen Denkens im Ersten Weltkrieg werfen. Es handelt sich um eine Sammlung von Denkschriften, die im Frühjahr 1915 in den Aufklärungsstreitkräften unter dem Kommando von Konteradmiral Franz Hipper entstanden. Darin wird das Scheitern der bisherigen Strategie einer Entscheidungsschlacht in der Nordsee analysiert und es werden Lösungsansätze für einen zukünftigen Seekrieg entwickelt. Nach Ansicht der beteiligten Offiziere, zu denen u. a. Kapitän z.S. Max Hahn, Kapitän z.S. Magnus von Levetzow und Konteradmiral Georg Hebbinghaus gehörten, konnte die Lösung nur in einer völligen Umgestaltung der Seestrategie liegen. Das Konzept sah einen systematischen Angriff auf die britischen Versorgungswege im Atlantik vor. Dieser sollte mit neu zu entwickelnden Großkampfschiffen von überragender Kampfkraft, ausgestattet mit Dieselantrieb oder Ölfeuerung, sowie mit unterstützenden leichten Streitkräften geführt werden. Darüber hinaus wird gezeigt, dass diese Ideen auch in der restlichen Flotte und im RMA auf positive Resonanzen stießen. Abschließend wird auf mögliche Kontinuitäten zum Z-Plan unter Admiral Erich Raeder hingewiesen.
Die Beteiligung der Bundeswehr an der Sonderkommission der Vereinten Nationen (UNSCOM) im Irak, 1991–1996
Authors: Konopka Torsten 
Published: November 2023

Zusammenfassung
Nach Ende des Zweiten Golfkriegs beteiligte sich die Bundesrepublik Deutschland mit einzelnen Inspektoren sowie drei Hubschraubern und zwei Flugzeugen der Bundeswehr samt Personal an der Sonderkommission der Vereinten Nationen (UNSCOM) im Irak. Vor Ort sollten sie bei der international geforderten Zerstörung der irakischen Massenvernichtungswaffen unterstützen. Bei der Entsendung handelte es sich um die erste personelle Beteiligung der Bundeswehr an einer Maßnahme der Vereinten Nationen. Nach der personellen Nichtbeteiligung am Zweiten Golfkrieg erhofften sich das Auswärtige Amt und das Bundesministerium der Verteidigung hierdurch internationales Ansehen zu generieren, gegenüber den USA Handlungsbereitschaft bei der Beilegung internationaler Krisen zu demonstrieren und erste militärische Erfahrungen im Rahmen einer multinationalen Maßnahme außerhalb des NATO-Bündnisses zu sammeln. Politisch wurde die Beteiligung damit legitimiert, dass sie nicht als Einsatz der Bundeswehr im Sinne des Grundgesetzes galt, sondern als logistische Unterstützung einer vom Sicherheitsrat der Vereinten Nationen gebilligten Abrüstungsmaßnahme.

Abstract
The use of improved soybean varieties is crucial when it comes to the progress of soybean cultivation in Indonesia. This study presents the agronomic performance, seed chemical composition, and bioactive components of 12 soybean genotypes grown in Malang, Indonesia. Parameters included the agronomic characteristics, ash, protein, fat, total flavonoid content (TFC), total phenolic content (TPC), genistein and daidzein contents as well as antioxidant activity. The study found that Dena 1, Dering 1, and Deja 1 had the highest seed yield (2.76–2.84 t/ha), while Dega 1 had the largest seed size (24.69 g/100 seeds). The black-seeded genotype of Detam 1 had the highest protein content (39.79% dw), while GH 63 had the largest amount of total daidzein and genistein. Detam 4 (a black-seeded genotype) exhibited the highest values of TFC, TPC, and antioxidant activity. The agronomic characteristics and TPC significantly correlated, suggesting that both traits are applicable as criteria for soybean breeding selection. Detam 4 and GH 63 are likely promising to be used as gene sources for improving the nutritional and health benefits of soybean genotypes. GH 63 and GH 73 also have the potential for further release as new high-yielding varieties with early maturity and large seed size. Overall, the study provides valuable information on the agronomic superiority and nutritional aspects of improved soybean varieties in Indonesia.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The immune system is a complex distributed system consisting of cells, which circulate through the body, communicate and turnover in response to antigenic perturbations. We discuss new approaches to modelling the functioning of the immune system of humans and experimental animals with a focus on its ‘complexity’. Emerging mathematical and computer models are reviewed to describe the immune system diversity, the cell/cytokine network communication structures, hierarchical regulation, and evolutionary dynamics of immune repertoires.
Randomized singular value decomposition for integrative subtype analysis of ‘omics data’ using non-negative matrix factorization
Authors: Ni Yonghui , He Jianghua , Chalise Prabhakar 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Integration of multiple ‘omics datasets for differentiating cancer subtypes is a powerful technic that leverages the consistent and complementary information across multi-omics data. Matrix factorization is a common technique used in integrative clustering for identifying latent subtype structure across multi-omics data. High dimensionality of the omics data and long computation time have been common challenges of clustering methods. In order to address the challenges, we propose randomized singular value decomposition (RSVD) for integrative clustering using Non-negative Matrix Factorization: intNMF-rsvd. The method utilizes RSVD to reduce the dimensionality by projecting the data into eigen vector space with user specified lower rank. Then, clustering analysis is carried out by estimating common basis matrix across the projected multi-omics datasets. The performance of the proposed method was assessed using the simulated datasets and compared with six state-of-the-art integrative clustering methods using real-life datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas Study. intNMF-rsvd was found working efficiently and competitively as compared to standard intNMF and other multi-omics clustering methods. Most importantly, intNMF-rsvd can handle large number of features and significantly reduce the computation time. The identified subtypes can be utilized for further clinical association studies to understand the etiology of the disease.

Human rights as a fundamental pillar for building cross-cultural resilience of the international community in the 21st century
Authors: Szaniszló Inocent-Mária Vladimír 
Published: November 2023

We would like to contribute to an understanding of building Cross-cultural resilience by developing the concept of human rights from the perspective of Catholic social teaching in the 21st century, taking into account the ethics of society and the ethics of the individual members of that community. The bearer of these rights, every human being, was considered to have a single, identical common reason. This rational character initially coincided with the reason that governs all of nature and is manifested in its laws. Therefore, the norms of human rights, based on the rational character of nature, were also called universal, i.e., valid for all rational beings in the universe, because they coincided with cosmic laws.
Our study aims to deepen the understanding of this important topic for the eventual general acceptance of human rights issues. This is important in light of the theory that human rights are non-negotiable and are no longer just a question of ethics and morality, but of security and peace among international communities, e.g., to help Cross-cultural resilience building. The method used in our research is comparative and inductive.
The summary of our research should contribute to a better argumentation in promoting this agenda in major international institutions. This paper's theoretical and practical significance lies in clarifying the historical and current relationship between churches and civil societies on the issue of human dignity and human rights so that their understanding and recognition can positively impact the development of modern society's common good.
From cocoons to butterflies: Cross-cultural resilience of the first graduates of an international undergraduate pedagogy program at the University of Pécs
Authors: Dezső Renáta Anna 
Published: November 2023

The University of Pécs, UP has a long tradition of training international students, and educational sciences related programs have a crucial role within this repertoire. Amongst these programs an undergraduate one, i.e. Pedagogy BA – Intercultural Educational Assistant Specialization was developed, authorized and issued in the middle of the Covid 2019 Pandemic.
Due to the international nature of the program both its content and command must meet criteria of current standards, therefore it aims at fulfilling the ethos of the 2030 OECD Learning Compass. The first graduates received their degrees in July 2023, and are heading towards their future careers as educators – but are they armed with competences suggested by the OECD 2030 Learning Compass?
Besides outlining the peculiarities of the program, and the ways its designers coped with the struggles of the circumstances of the pandemic years via the author’s (i.e. program manager’s) participative-observational narrative description, a brief interpretation of students’ cross cultural resilience is being introduced based on a survey carried out amongst the first graduates. Their feedback is overall positive regarding the development of their own self-perceived cross cultural resilience. Also, it may be concluded that the newly introduced major could cope with the challenges that occurred during the years of the Pandemic.
The practical significance of this report is obvious, as it reflects on relevant lessons that may be learnt by the management of the program and initiators of future programs alike. It also calls attention to the significance of the learner’s role shift that may be attached to the OECD 2030 Learning Compass framework.

Authors: Aguado Romero Gabriela , Deaquiz Rodríguez César Augusto 
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo conceptualiza varias de las palabras clave dentro del Acuerdo de paz firmado en Colombia en 2016. El propósito de esta conceptualización es entender teórica y académicamente qué es el Acuerdo de paz y encontrar cuáles son los motivos de rechazo al mismo. La conceptualización se construye a partir de posturas filosóficas con el fin de poder relacionar humana y socialmente el comportamiento de la sociedad colombiana respecto al Acuerdo. Además, cuestionar si la violencia, la guerra y la paz en el proceso histórico de Colombia han determinado la construcción de la realidad y actualidad del país, generando así una conducta social enmarcada dentro del derecho positivo o del derecho natural y que genera rechazo al Acuerdo, aclarando que este rechazo es suscitado en ambos bandos del conflicto.
