Die Illusionen der Berlin-brandenburgischen Landesplanung
Authors: V. Einem Eberhard 
Published: July 2023

Die vergangenen 3 1/2 Jahre waren (zwar nicht nur, aber auch) in Berlin und Brandenburg „heiße Zeiten“ für Zukunftswerkstätten, Denkfabriken und Kongresse. Wenn man den – mit breiten Filzstiften oder beschwörenden Worten – zu Papier gebrachten Visionen und suggestiven Plänen glauben darf, ist die Berlin-brandenburgische Landesplanung auf dem Reißbrett längst Wirklichkeit: Autofreie Stadt, Polyzentralität, Entlastungsstädte, Regierungsviertel, Bodenfonds, Grünschneisen und Sicherung der Naturpotentiale. Freilich kümmert sich die tatsächlicheEntwicklung wenig um wohlmeinende Ideenkonzepte oder Debatten im Feuilleton. Sie gehorcht ganz anderen Entwicklungsgesetzen: Demographie und Migration, Eigentumsverhältnisse und Mieten, öffentliche Finanzknappheit und Weltmarktkonkurrenz lauten ihre Parameter. Sprich: die Ideen auf dem Papier nehmen sich demgegenüber – ohne Umsetzung in Baurecht und Finanzentscheidungen – oft hilflos aus. Für einen jungfräulich-naiven Glauben an die Gestaltungsspielräume der Landesentwicklung ist kein Raum, wo enge regionalwirtschaftliche, rechtliche und politische Restriktionen den staatlichen Handlungsrahmen einengen.Die Frage lautet deshalb schlicht: Wie realistisch sind die Konzepte? Welche Chancen bestehen – ernsthaft geprüft – sie umzusetzen – selbst bei unterstellter „best practice“? Wie stark engen die nicht steuerbaren Restriktionen gutgemeinte Planungen ein? Auf den folgenden Seiten soll versucht werden, drei in der Planung beliebte Vorstellungen zu hinterfragen und anhand dieser drei Punkte die Illusionen der Landesplanung offenzulegen.

Published: July 2023

Brasilien stand schon immer im internationalen Rampenlicht ökologischer Besorgnisse, vor allem, wenn man an die Gefährdung der amazonischen Regenwald-Ökosysteme, an gigantische Staudammbauten oder Großprojekte des Straßenbaus und der Erzgewinnung denkt. Die UNCED-Umweltkonferenz im Juni 1992 lenkte ein weiteres Mal den Blick auf die Umweltverhältnisse in diesem Land, in erfreulicher Differenzierung: Wurde doch wahrgenommen, daß auch und gerade in den Industrie- und Ballungsregionen des Landes die Umweltqualität bereits derart schlecht geworden ist, daß die Lebens- und Produktionsverhältnisse ernsthaft bedroht sind. Die Situation in São Paulo und in der benachbarten Industrieregion im Vale de Cubatão sind nur ein Beispiel dafür.Weniger bekannt dürfte jedoch sein, daß die Umweltgesetzgebung in Brasilien durchaus dem Standard moderner Industrieländer vergleichbar ist und Brasilien dies auch auf der UNCED-Konferenz durch die Unterschriften unter die verschiedenen Dokumente zu Klima, Biodiversität usw. dokumentiert hat.Dieser Beitrag will am Beispiel der Umweltverträglichkeitsprüfung zeigen, wie sich politisches Wollen gesetzgeberische Absicht und verwaltungsmäßige Umsetzung der Vorschriften den Umweltproblemen Brasiliens in der täglichen Praxis stellen. Am Beispiel der paranaensischen Landesumweltbehörde IAP (Instituto Ambiental de Paraná, vormals SUREHMA – Superintendencia dos Recursos Hidricos e Meio Ambiente) werden Grundlagen, Ablaufschema und Probleme bei der Anwendung und Umsetzung der UVP im Planfeststellungsverfahren dargestellt und diskutiert.Dieser Beitrag ist innerhalb eines Projektes der Technischen Zusammenarbeit im Umweltbereich zwischen Brasilien und der Bundesrepublik Deutschland entstanden, die unter dem Titel „Umweltauswirkungen von Staudammvorhaben“ seit 1987 vom bereits erwähnten IAP und der GTZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit GmbH) im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit durchgeführt wird.

Authors: Parashar Apoorva , Rishi Rahul , Parashar Anubha , Rida Imad 
Published: July 2023

AbstractArthritis is a musculoskeletal disorder. Millions of people have arthritis, making it one of the most common joint disorders. Osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are the most common types of arthritis among the many different types available. Pain, stiffness, and inflammation are among the early signs of arthritis, which can progress to severe immobility at a later stage if left untreated. Although arthritis cannot be cured at any point in time, it can be managed if diagnosed and treated correctly. Clinical diagnostic and medical imaging methods are currently used to evaluate OA and RA, both debilitating conditions. This review is focused on deep learning approaches used by taking medical imaging (X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging) as input for the detection of RA.
“Chemistry, climate and the skills in between”: mapping cognitive skills in an innovative program designed to empower future citizens to address global challenges

Published: July 2023

Abstract
One of the primary objectives of an education system is to prepare students for their adult lives by imparting them with the requisite knowledge, qualifications, and skills that will enable them to confront future challenges effectively. A whitepaper published by the Israeli Ministry of Education titled “The Graduate’s Image” stresses the importance of incorporating specific skills into the school curriculum. However, there is a lack of educational programs that can transform teaching skills into actual practice. In light of this conclusion, we developed the program “Chemistry, Climate & the Numbers in Between” to foster these skills and produce graduates with the ability to adopt a critical approach and a well-informed perspective toward the world. In this paper, we delineated the cognitive skills developed in the program. The results indicate that innovative program can be utilized to integrate several important skills into a chemistry lesson. The program has the potential to equip and empower future citizens to address and tackle global challenges while utilizing cognitive skills using chemistry knowledge. However, it is important to note that learning in this way requires much more time than a regular lesson does and requires a significant commitment and investment from the teacher.

Abstract
This research focuses on recycling rubber tire waste through pyrolysis to produce recovered carbon black (rCB). The rCB is combined with recycled low-density polyethylene (rLDPE), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), fatty acid, metallic stearate, and polyethylene (PE) wax to create an rCB masterbatch for household packaging. Surface modification of CaCO3 particles using stearic acid improves the compatibility with LDPE. The study investigates mechanical properties, morphology, melt flow index (MFI), X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis in three systems: uncoated, coated, and a hybrid combination of coated and uncoated CaCO3 in LDPE/rCB masterbatch composites. The coated system demonstrates higher mechanical properties and improved compatibility between CaCO3 and LDPE. All three systems exhibit enhanced thermal stability and MFI compared to virgin LDPE, with the coated system showing the most significant improvement. The study showcases the potential of LDPE/rCB masterbatch composites for household packaging, with the coated system displaying the optimum performance across various characteristics.
An Ethnographic Study Exploring the Effect of Family on the Development of Entrepreneurial Intentions of Its Younger Members in the Delhi-NCR Region of India
Authors: Gaur Ankit , Robson Paul , Vazquez-Brust Diego 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe study uses data from an ethnographic study of 32 family members from six families from New Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), India, to develop our understanding of entrepreneurial intentions in the younger members of middle-class families of India. The study identifies two critical familial influences, generational congruence and the need to maintain harmony, along with the presence of feministic values, as factors that impact the development of entrepreneurial intentions. The study further confirms that the need to conform to a social image impacts the decisions taken by family members. By highlighting the significant influence that family can have on the development of entrepreneurial intentions, this research points out gaps in how current policies and programs target entrepreneurship development in transforming economies like India. While the limited geographic scope of this study makes the findings applicable only to families in New Delhi and NCR and less generalizable overall, it further highlights the need to conduct similar studies across other parts of India, as well as other countries with similar cultural dimensions as India. The researchers suggest focussing policies towards promoting trust and confidence in entrepreneurship as a potential career option and highlighting the benefits of pursuing entrepreneurship amongst the masses by keeping in mind the cultural and geographic differences across the country. The novelty of this study lies firstly in its methodological approach, where entrepreneurial intentions are evaluated via short ethnographies. Secondly, with a strong focus on Indian family dynamics, the authors have identified novel influences that could apply to other transforming economies with similar social-cultural factors to India.

Abstract
Succinic acid is a valuable organic acid with a high commercial value that may be employed in a variety of sectors including food, cosmetics, and chemistry. Through bacterial fermentation, succinic acid can be easily produced. This paper includes a broad body of literature assessment spanning the previous two decades on the evaluation of succinic acid (SA) production procedures in to further drive research toward membrane-based sustainable and affordable production. The best natural method of SA producer is through Actinobacillus succinogenes. The process of microbial fermentation is used to produce bio-succinic acid utilizing agro-industrial waste. There are different methods under metabolic engineering which are being frequently used for bio-based succinic acid production using representative microorganisms, such as Mannheimia succiniciproducens, Pichia kudriavzevii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Actinobacillus succinogenes, Corynebacterium glutamicum, Basfia succiniciproducens, and Escherichia coli. This review summarizes the evolution of microbial production, fermentative methods, various organic substrates and the effects of efforts to recover and refine components for a wide range of applications in the perspective of biologically produced succinic acid for commercialization state.

Abstract
The Gordineşti II-Stînca goală is an archaeological site located in the northern part of the Moldavian Plateau in Edineț Region. Chronologically this settlement is linked to the later phase of the Tripolye Culture. Currently, in archaeological literature, the problems of human occupation, land management, and spatial arrangement of settlements in Moldova during the Eneolithic are highly understudied. In this paper, we present the results of recent archaeological works focusing on the spatial patterning of housing structures, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey, and desk-based Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) analysis, that has been undertaken to further the understanding of the spatial organisation of the Gordineşti II-Stînca goală settlement. The results indicate the high archaeological potential of this site, with the likely presence of multiple housing structures arranged in a planned and functional manner.

Abstract
The transsulfuration pathway (TSP) is a metabolic pathway involving sulfur transfer from homocysteine to cysteine. Transsulfuration pathway leads to many sulfur metabolites, principally glutathione, H2S, taurine, and cysteine. Key enzymes of the TSP, such as cystathionine β-synthase and cystathionine γ-lyase, are essential regulators at multiple levels in this pathway. TSP metabolites are implicated in many physiological processes in the central nervous system and other tissues. TSP is important in controlling sulfur balance and optimal cellular functions such as glutathione synthesis. Alterations in the TSP and related pathways (transmethylation and remethylation) are altered in several neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, suggesting their participation in the pathophysiology and progression of these diseases. In Parkinson’s disease many cellular processes are comprised mainly those that regulate redox homeostasis, inflammation, reticulum endoplasmic stress, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and sulfur content metabolites of TSP are involved in these damage processes. Current research on the transsulfuration pathway in Parkinson’s disease has primarily focused on the synthesis and function of certain metabolites, particularly glutathione. However, our understanding of the regulation of other metabolites of the transsulfuration pathway, as well as their relationships with other metabolites, and their synthesis regulation in Parkinson´s disease remain limited. Thus, this paper highlights the importance of studying the molecular dynamics in different metabolites and enzymes that affect the transsulfuration in Parkinson’s disease.
A New Insight into Concrete Impermeability: Effect of Polymer Modification of Interfacial Transition Zone
Authors: Yang Shuang , Wang Jiantao , Li Wen , Wang Yingxiang , Liu Yunpeng 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Coarse aggregates were pretreated with asphalt emulsion to concentrate asphalt film in the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) so as to improve concrete impermeability at a relatively low polymer content. Several test methods, including artificial crack samples, model aggregate concrete, and surface element scanning, were employed to characterize the contribution of modified ITZ to concrete impermeability. The results showed that incorporating hydrophobic asphalt film in ITZ could simultaneously slow down water absorption while weakening the ITZ microstructure. The water absorption of concretes decreased with an increase in the asphalt content and asphalt-coated aggregates ratio. However, the rapid chloride migration tests showed different results, which could be attributed to the different water saturation states of concretes before the tests. The hydrophobic asphalt film could retard water absorption and, consequently, chloride ion diffusion, even in the presence of cracks.
Quantum Mechanical-Based Fracture Behavior of L-PBF/SLM Ti-6Al-4V in the Very High Cycle Fatigue Regime
Authors: Awd Mustafa , Saeed Lobna , Walther Frank 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This work predicts bulk elastic properties and solves the wave function probabilistically using the density functional theory and by fixing outcomes with instrumented indentation. Revised bulk properties may predict crack start and propagation. Author-scripted pre- and post-processing in Abaqus simulated crack spread. Ultrasonic fatigue simulations increased fatigue life because the fracture onset phase was longer. We demonstrate that fatigue strength relies on elastic modulus because they are correlated. The verified results do not depend on any experimental evidence. Machine systems and scanning technologies have boosted the usage of selective laser-melted materials, leading to virtually full-density products. Microstructure and porosity from powder melting generate inconsistent mechanical performance under cyclic load. The extended finite element method was used to simulate crack propagation over an arbitrary fracture path to analyze fatigue crack development in additively generated fatigue specimens. Using fracture energy rate curves, loading level and testing frequency were evaluated on fatigue life. Micro computerized tomography (µ-CT) scans provide two-dimensional angular pictures. Several methods minimize faces and vertices. Open-source software was utilized to construct finite element models using µ-CT projections and to separate the cylindrical shell from internal pores. Crack propagation rate curves were used to investigate the impacts of loading level and testing frequency.
DE GAUCHOS, CHINAS Y FOGONES: UN ACERCAMIENTO A LOS TOPOI CRIOLLOS ASOCIADOS A LA MILONGA CAMPERA EN LOS AIRES DE LA PAMPA DE ALBERTO WILLIAMS
Authors: Cerletti Adriana Valeria 
Published: July 2023

Este artículo se propone trabajar con los tópicos asociados a la milonga campera dentro de la producción pianística de milongas del compositor argentino Alberto Williams (1862-1952). Ubicadas en las series Aires de la Pampa dichas milongas - junto a las huellas y vidalitas - apelan a los géneros folclóricos como “fuentes de inspiración”, vinculándose a la producción nacionalista de la música académica argentina. Para desandar el derrotero del topos de la milonga campera se partirá de la bibliografía tradicional (VEGA, 1944 y ARETZ, 1952) tomando como marco teórico a la Teoría Tópica, especialmente los aportes de Monelle (2006) y Plesch (1996, 2008). El caso paradigmático de la Op. 64 No 6 Adiós a la tapera permitirá poner en relación al topos del acompañamiento con otras variables musicales para observar cómo interactúan en red. La dirección de la escucha, interpelada por los omnipresentes títulos de temáticas criollistas, se monta sobre el imaginario ya legitimado y ampliamente difundido por la literatura gauchesca y el circo criollista silenciando la tipología de la milonga bailada.

Published: July 2023

Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar o tempo-espaço do bosque na narrativa do musical Into the Woods, de James Lapine e Stephen Sondheim (2014), com base no conceito de cronotopo, conforme desenvolvido pelo teórico russo Mikhail Bakhtin (2018 [1975]). Em seu enredo próximo ao conto de fadas do tipo artístico, a peça estabelece relações dialógicas também com contos de fadas populares e atualiza os sentidos da jornada de cada personagem por meio de motivos e elementos essencialmente cronotópicos. Por fim, o cronotopo do bosque atua como o fio-condutor do musical, servindo de base para os acontecimentos do enredo e reunindo as jornadas de diferentes personagens em um quadro espaçotemporal comum.
Asymmetric Voltage Attenuation in Dendrites Can Enable Hierarchical Heterosynaptic Plasticity
Authors: Moldwin Toviah , Kalmenson Menachem , Segev Idan 
Published: July 2023

AbstractLong-term synaptic plasticity is mediated via cytosolic calcium concentrations ([Ca2+]). Using a synaptic model that implements calcium-based long-term plasticity via two sources of Ca2+— NMDA receptors and voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) — we show in dendritic cable simulations that the interplay between these two calcium sources can result in a diverse array of heterosynaptic effects. When spatially clustered synaptic input produces a local NMDA spike, the resulting dendritic depolarization can activate VGCCs at nonactivated spines, resulting in heterosynaptic plasticity. NMDA spike activation at a given dendritic location will tend to depolarize dendritic regions that are located distally to the input site more than dendritic sites that are proximal to it. This asymmetry can produce a hierarchical effect in branching dendrites, where an NMDA spike at a proximal branch can induce heterosynaptic plasticity primarily at branches that are distal to it. We also explored how simultaneously activated synaptic clusters located at different dendritic locations synergistically affect the plasticity at the active synapses, as well as the heterosynaptic plasticity of an inactive synapse “sandwiched” between them. We conclude that the inherent electrical asymmetry of dendritic trees enables sophisticated schemes for spatially targeted supervision of heterosynaptic plasticity.

AbstractIn 2021, 131 million adult Americans reported drinking alcohol in the last month, despite the well-known consequences of alcohol consumption. While alcohol use disorders (AUDs) are associated with both mood and chronic pain disorders, the relationship between alcohol drinking and affective and nociceptive behaviors remains unclear. Corticotropin releasing factor receptor-1 (CRF1) has been implicated in alcohol drinking, affective states, and pain sensitivity, often in a sex-dependent manner. In order to probe the effects of alcohol drinking on activity of CRF1+ cells and to also test the hypothesis that alcohol drinking is associated with both basal and subsequent affective and nociceptive readouts, we put male and female CRF1:cre:tdTomato rats through a battery of behavioral tests before and after intermittent access to alcohol. Following baseline testing, rats began alcohol (or water) drinking. Females consumed more alcohol in the first week, but there was no effect of sex on overall alcohol intake. Following three to four weeks of drinking, behavioral tests were repeated. Alcohol drinking decreased mechanical sensitivity, but no other effects of alcohol drinking were observed between experimental groups. Individual alcohol intake correlated with affective behavior in both sexes but only correlated with thermal sensitivity in males. There were no main effects of alcohol drinking or sex on CRF1+ neuronal activity in the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC) but final session alcohol intake correlated with activity in CRF1+ neurons in the infralimbic (IL) subregion. Together, our results suggest complex interplay between affective state, alcohol drinking, and the role of prefrontal CRF1+ neurons in mediating these behaviors.
