Dreck und Menschen. Das menschliche Subjekt und sein Abfall als Teil von Netzwerken verteilter Handlungsträger in Christoph Ransmayrs „Morbus Kitahara“ und Karen Duves „Regenroman“
Authors: Janssens Hanne 
Published: August 2023

Mit Erkenntnissen aus dem Bereich des material ecocriticism untersucht der vorliegende Artikel, wie sich die menschlichen Subjekte in Christoph Ransmayrs Morbus Kitahara und Karen Duves Regenroman, zu ihrer dynamischen materiellen Umwelt verhalten. Die literarische Imagination ermöglicht uns, die Verbundenheit von Mensch, Müll und Natur anzuerkennen, indem sich das menschliche Subjekt als Teil von Netzwerken verteilter Handlungsträger herausstellt, die notwendigerweise Abfälle und Überreste miteinbegreifen.
Traditionell wurde die vermeintliche Überlegenheit des Menschen durch dualistisches Denken erreicht: Kulturelle Aktivitäten wurden der Kategorie des Aktiven zugeordnet, während die materielle Umwelt als passiv gesehen wurde. In beiden Romanen werden Zwischenfiguren eingeführt, die dem Dualismus entkommen und so die Verflechtung mit ihrer Umwelt veranschaulichen. Darüber hinaus wird das dualistische Denken auch dadurch destabilisiert, dass die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Materialität des menschlichen Körpers gelenkt wird.

Some Reflections on the Use and the Meaning of the Sign lugal in Urartian Inscriptions
Authors: Bonfanti Annarita S. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The present article is focused on an analysis of the distribution of the Sumerograms man and lugal in Urartian inscriptions: since they are found in very specific situations, with only one of the two directly referring to the Urartian king, it is likely that they should be intended not as synonyms, but rather as concealing two slightly different meanings. After a brief introduction focused on the use of the two Sumerograms in Assyrian royal titularies, especially in the ones used as models by the Urartians, the paper will focus on the use of the Sumerograms in Urartian inscriptions, concluding with an analysis of an Urartian text on clay tablet, whose translation is still debated.
On the Periphery of the Clerical Community of Old Babylonian Ur
Authors: Cavigneaux Antoine , Clevenstine Emmert 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
We offer transliterations, translations, and autograph copies of three Old Babylonian tablets held by the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire (MAH) in Geneva. MAH 15899 adds a new name to the roster of temple administrators in Ur, and leads us to propose a new interpretation of the year-name Rīm-Sîn IIa. MAH 16042 concerns a second son of the Uqqû first recognized in MAH 15896. MAH 15953 extends the family tree of the well-known Balamunamḫe of Larsa and connects the family with the religious life of the city. It probably postdates Samsu-iluna’s reconquest of Ur (Si 10) but it is difficult to say by how long. The witness lists of the tablets are intertwined with each other and with tablets from scientific excavations. These interrelationships reflect a common origin in Ur, and permit speculation about the location of the site from which they were plundered for the antiquities market.
Combining Historical Narrative Forms and the Immersion of Exhibition Visitors. Approaches and Experiences from the Luxembourg “Remix” Project
Authors: Tschacher Werner 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The paper describes and analyzes the experiences of the Luxembourg-based research project “Remixing Industrial Pasts in the Digital Age” (2019–2024) and its four individual component projects. Combining different forms of digital historical storytelling can generate proximity and immersion for visitors. The creation of immersion results from a technically sophisticated, authentic-looking, and emotionally appealing presentation of biographies, spaces and historical themes. By means of digitally supported productions, the boundaries between facts and fiction, artistically designed and real spaces, and historical and virtual text and image elements were deliberately blurred to delve more deeply into the historical past of Luxembourg’s industrial region. New perspectives on regional history emerged from the fragmentation of history and the combination of individual narratives, taking the place of traditional master narratives.
Organolead halide perovskites: Synthetic routes, structural features, and their potential in the development of photovoltaic
Authors: Ajibade Peter A. , Adeloye Adewale O. , Oluwalana Abimbola E. , Thamae Mamothibe A. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
About 13 TW of energy is needed to sustain the lifestyle of people worldwide but an additional 10 TW clean energy will be required by 2050. The increase in the world population and the demand for energy that rely on fossil fuels has resulted in global warming that necessitates the need for alternative energy such as solar. Solar energy is abundant and readily available, and its use will contribute to sustainable development. Metal halide perovskites are promising materials for the development of next-generation solar cells. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.8% obtained for organolead halide perovskite is close to the polycrystalline solar cell’s efficiency at 26.3% and these materials offer great prospects for future photovoltaic development. To approach the theoretical efficiency limit, it is very important to study the development of perovskite solar cells in terms of material composition, fabrication techniques, and device architectures with emphasis on charge transport layers and electrodes. Limitations to PCE and stability of perovskites, optoelectronic properties, lifetime and stability, wide-scale applications, components of the perovskites solar cell, the standard for testing conditions for good stability and its evolution into the lower layered perovskite solar cells were examined in the current review.
Clinical neutrophil-related gene helps treat bladder urothelial carcinoma

Published: August 2023

Abstract

Objectives
Most researches have shown that neutrophils are closely related to bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA), especially its occurrence and development. Although tumor microenvironment (TME) related genes have an impact on prognosis, the role of neutrophil related genes in BLCA adjuvant therapy is not clear.

Methods
We used sample information from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. And we utilized the CIBERSORT algorithm to obtain the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) landscape and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WCGNA) to detect neutrophil-related gene modules. We used univariate Cox regression, multivariate Cox regression, and lasso regression analyses to identify genes that have a relationship with BLCA prognosis. Using the median risk score (RS), we classified the cohort into a high-risk group (HRG) and low-risk group (LRG). External validation of RS was performed via GEO data feeds. Prognostic nomograms were constructed with reference to RS and clinically relevant information and validated using calibration curves. We analyzed the latent connections between RS and tumor mutational burden. Finally, the latent associations between risk markers and chemotherapy prognosis were explored using the pRRophetic algorithm.

Results
In this study, 10 TME-related genes with important prognostic value were screened. Then, by deriving the RS, we constructed a prognostic risk prediction nomogram using parameters such as sex, age, TNM stage, clinical stage, and RS. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the predictive accuracy of the constructed nomogram was high. We found that using immunotherapy with new immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) was more beneficial for patients in the LRG. In addition, we can learn from the chemotherapeutic drug model that patients with LRG are more sensitive to cisplatin and imatinib.

Conclusions
In short, the prognostic prediction model based on neutrophil-related genes will help to predict the prognosis and guide the precise treatment of BLCA.
Optimal Loading Rate Design Method for Cement Stone Mechanical Test
Authors: Liu Jian , Wu Xuning , Su Zifeng , Li Zaoyuan , Liu Yang , Shi Qing , Chen Rui 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The loading rate has a significant influence on the mechanical parameters tests of cement stone, which lacks systematic research. There are no corresponding optimal loading rates for different types of cement stones. In this work, the uniaxial compressive strength tests with different loading rates under force loading and displacement loading were carried out for typical cement stones with low, normal, and high density. Seven rate points were designed in the range of static and quasi-static loading rates. Statistical analysis of the test data showed the following. First, the Poisson’s ratio of some cement stones increases with the increase of the loading rate and some decrease. The value of Poisson’s ratio does not change much under the two loading modes. However, Poisson’s ratio shows a certain regularity with density; the higher the density, the greater the Poisson’s ratio. Second, the compressive strength and Young’s modulus show an upward trend with the increase of loading rate. The compressive strength correlates best with the optimal loading rate. In the force loading mode, the optimal loading rate increases linearly with the increase of the compressive strength, and its value can be determined by the established comparison table or calculation formula. In the displacement loading mode, the optimal loading rate is 0.35 mm/min for cement stones with strength values below 15 MPa and 0.7 mm/min for those above 15 MPa. The findings can provide a basis for designing mechanical testing methods for cement stones.

Drying of gypsum plaster prisms: prevention of visible sodium sulfate efflorescence through calcium formate addition
Authors: Fobbe Nicholas , Goetz-Neunhoeffer Friedlinde , Foerthner Sebastian , Foerster Henning , Jansen Daniel 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn this work, we investigated the drying process of a hardened gypsum plaster model (GP) that showed sodium sulfate efflorescence after subsequent exposure to water. Visible efflorescence could be prevented by adding small amounts of calcium formate (CF). Prism samples were prepared to investigate this observation, with an emphasis on chemical processes in the pore water. In the pure plaster, both sodium and sulfur accumulate at the surface of the prism, which leads to sodium sulfate precipitation. In the sample containing CF, calcium slightly accumulates at the surface, which leads to lower sulfur concentrations, because the porewater is in equilibrium with gypsum. Thermodynamic calculations show that higher sodium concentrations are then necessary to reach sodium sulfate supersaturation than without CF. These concentrations are not exceeded during early stages of the drying process, which ultimately leads to the sodium sulfate precipitation inside the prism. Therefore, sodium sulfate efflorescence can be hindered on gypsum plaster by the addition of CF.
CORROSION BEHAVIOR AND WETTING PROPERTIES OF CAST TNZT ALLOYS

Published: August 2023

Five experimental alloys Ti-9Nb-8Zr-xTa-2Ag (x = 0, 5, 10, 15) were obtained and analyzed in the as-cast condition. The microstructure, corrosion behavior and surface free energy on the samples polished and corroded in artificial saliva were investigated. The microstructure is comprised of a mixture of α and β phase and the proportion of β phase increases with tantalum content increase. At 10 % Ta a drastic change in the microstructure was observed that severely altered the corrosion behavior, as the corrosion rate increased significantly beyond this point. The alloys are hydrophilic and corrosion tends to increase the surface free energy of the alloy with 15 % Ta that was mostly affected by the corrosion. The tantalum content increase affects directly the microstructure and indirectly the corrosion and surface wetting properties of the experimental alloys.

Reflections and Some Questions about Assessing the Maximum Possible Earthquake in the Long-Exploited Groningen Gas Field
Authors: Vlek Charles 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This article is inspired by an official expert reassessment (September 2022), for the next several decades, of the maximum possible earthquake magnitude, Mmax, induced by sixty years of extraction from the rich Groningen gas field in the Netherlands. Basic considerations, advisory inputs, and the assessment of Mmax are briefly reviewed. Comments and questions are given on the range and weights of possible Mmax values, and on probabilities, “weights”, as expert degrees of belief. It is argued that plausible shifts in conditional beliefs (e.g., 100% rather than 90% induced) might have led to a lower future maximum-magnitude range (3.5≤Mmax≤5.5, with average 4.2) than the reported 4.0≤Mmax≤6.5 with weighted-average 4.6. As a possible event, Mmax should have a nonzero probability that (seismo) logically should go down as Mmax goes up. Given that Mmax weights assigned are based on expert beliefs, are assessors willing to bet—substantially—on the outcome of an Mmax the probability of which is being estimated? For the Groningen field, the assumption of a stationary seismic source and Mmax may be disputed. Instead, it is proposed that an eventually observable Mmax must be related to total-cumulative extraction since 1963. Hence, after Groningen gas extraction has ended in October 2023, Mmax will rapidly decrease. Unfortunately missing is a sensitivity analysis to seize the practical meaning of an (decreasing) Mmax distribution, for example, for ground motions, seismic risk (including residents’ anxiety), and possible building reinforcement. Such implications bolster the requirement that seismic hazard assessment be thoroughly designed, well understood, and clearly communicated.

Published: August 2023

El síndrome de ovario poliquístico, es un síndrome de disfunción ovárica, más frecuentes en la edad reproductiva y puede estar relacionado a enfermedades metabólicas, como la obesidad. Por ello, el objetivo general es determinar la relación entre la Obesidad y el SOP en pacientes de un centro médico, Trujillo, 2021. Para ello, se trabajó con 68 historias clínicas de pacientes féminas con diagnóstico de SOP de un Centro Médico de Trujillo en el período 1 de octubre del año 2020 a 31 de octubre del año 2021, mediante un muestreo censal. Los datos fueron recogidos, mediante la técnica de observación, y se utilizó como instrumento a la Guía de análisis documental. Luego, fueron procesaron por medio de la aplicación SPSS, en el cual se utilizó la elaboración de tablas de contingencias y la obtención de Chi Cuadrado. Finalmente, en los resultados obtenidos, se aprecia que, de las 56 pacientes féminas con diagnóstico de SOP, el 13,3% presentó Obesidad. A su vez, el 42,7% con dicho diagnóstico no presentó Obesidad, por ello, como el valor de significancia asintótica bilateral 0,321 > 0,05 aceptamos la hipótesis nula de la relación entre la variable SOP y la variable Obesidad. En conclusión, la obesidad no se relaciona significativamente con el SOP en pacientes de un centro médico, Trujillo, 2021.

The Disparities in the Treatment of African American Women in the Southern Black Baptist Church
Authors: Haywood Demora 
Published: August 2023

Although the backbone of the African American community, the Black Church still engages in discriminatory practices against women. The Black Church was born to help African Americans survive in a world that discriminated against them, and yet it discriminates against its own Black women. This study focuses on the disparities in the treatment of African American women and men in the Southern Black Baptist Church. Based on ethnographic interviews of women who actively hold leadership roles in prominent Southern Black Baptist Churches, I highlight the magnitude of the problem Black women face, and show that the continued discrimination is resulting in many women leaving the Black Church. The Black Church will continue to be the backbone of the African American community, but until the Black Church faces its own issues of gender discrimination, it will not advance.
