Modified kaolin hydrogel for Cu2+ adsorption
Authors: Chen Jin , Zhao Kun , Liu Lu , Gao Yuyu , Zheng Lu , Liu Min 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Removal of Cu2+ ions from contaminated water is an important but challenging task. This study reports the synthesis of a composite hydrogel from two natural polysaccharides, namely, sodium alginate and chitosan, using inexpensive kaolin as a raw material and polyacrylamide as a modifier. The hydrogel had a high adsorption capacity and selectivity for Cu2+. The composite hydrogel was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model was the most suitable model for the kinetic results, and the Langmuir isotherm model was the most representative of the sorption system. The results revealed that the adsorption process was mainly controlled by chemisorption. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was 106.4 mg·g−1. Therefore, this study presents a new perspective on the application of composite hydrogels as Cu2+ adsorbents.
KI Made in Europe
Authors: Sommerfeld Alicia 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe way new media technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) are implemented in our cultures is not only configured by technologies themselves, but also by circulating narratives, appropriations, and rhetorics. This article takes on the topic of AI rhetorics, using the example of mass media’s depiction of the role Germany and Europe play regarding these new technologies. It does so by (1) discussing the current state of Critical Algorithm Studies research, (2) presenting the results of a case study of German newspaper articles, and (3) reflecting on starting points for an applied rhetoric. In public discourse, AI systems are – implicitly – framed as being uncircumventable for our cultures, and specific issues that they entail appear to be unambiguous at first glance. Based on my findings, I contend that there is a pressing need for differentiated studies on AI rhetorics, just as much as there is a need for rhetorically educated subjects to shape our collective futures and conceive of new utopias.
Wir müssen reden

Abstract
Whereas debating societies look back at a long tradition in Great Britain, in Germany rhetorical training was mostly absent from schools and universities until the early 2000 s. Over the last 20 years, however, a young debating scene has developed from this vacuum of rhetorical practice. In universities, the Verband der Debattierclubs an Hochschulen (VDCH) has been established as the umbrella organization for student debating societies, and a lively tournament scene has emerged. At school level, a format called Jugend debattiert was created, which provides a debating-curriculum for German lessons. Also, an all-German debating-competition among students is organized every year. Time to take stock after all those years: How has the German debate scene developed? What are the expectations of young people when they join debating clubs? And are their expectations met?
Erinnerungsmarkierungen in Zeitzeugenerzählungen. Episodische Rekonstruktion und epistemische Authentifizierung in Gesprächen mit Überlebenden der NS-Zwangsarbeitslager
Authors: Gülich Elisabeth , Pfänder Stefan 
Published: December 2022

AbstractAn essential task of contemporary witnesses in oral history interviews is to remember past events and to communicate these memories to others. This is all the more challenging, as it often involves narrative reconstructions of virtually ‘indescribable’, ‘unspeakable’ or ‘unimaginable’ events. The present study is interested in videographed narratives of French contemporary witnesses of National Socialist forced labour. By verbatim and thus explicitly indicating that they ‘remember something’ (in French they do this withje me souviensorje me rappelle, among others), the witnesses authenticate their memories and reveal their memory process to others. Our analysis shows two different form-function designs: softly articulated forms of memory markers with retrospective syntactic scopus have the communicative function of indicating what exactly is remembered and what is not, in order to be credible as a contemporary witness. Emphasised, clearly articulated memory markers, on the other hand, have a prospective syntactic scopus and have the communicative function of opening an episodic narrative sequence. If the multimodal analysis is extended to the physical movements of the eyewitnesses during narration, it can be shown that the different levels of expression (especially syntax, prosody and posture, direction of gaze as well as gestures) together give rise to an expressive multimodal gestalt.
Elcadasilente y la distributividad a distancia en el español rural europeo
Authors: del Barrio de la Rosa Florencio 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe present study tackles agreement mismatches triggered by a distributive phrase withcada(‘each’) potentially functioning as syntactic subject in rural European Spanish. The study has two main and mutually compatible goals. First, it aims at linking this phenomenon with the vernacular tendency of “externalization of plurality” in Spanish. The second goal is to demonstrate that, on the basis of the most recent theories about the semantics of distributivity, mismatches evidence the existence of a covert distributivity operator (silentcada) in Spanish syntax. The information structure of rural varieties of Spanish and the connections between topics and subjects prompt the emergence of a preverbal distributive operator. The data support the idea that Spanish exhibits “distance distributivity” as an additional mechanism to “floated quantification”. Data are extracted from theCorpus Oral y Sonoro del Español Rural(COSER).
Spatial representation and sociolinguistic synergies
Authors: Williams Colin H. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractA closer interdisciplinary engagement by geographers, ethnographers and sociolinguists has resulted in new thematic issues being investigated and more sophisticated methodological approaches being adopted. The development of advanced IT and AI capabilities, particularly the wider adoption of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), has opened up new means of exploring and representing aspects of human behaviour. Of particular note is the appreciation by sociolinguistics of the various spatial perspectives currently being utilised in sub-disciplines such as studies of the interactions within metropolitan multilingual contexts, linguistic landscapes, new speaker research and applied language policy. This paper calls for a greater mutual reciprocity and syncretic interpretation of several key issues and promising methodologies. It also indicates how sociolinguists can contribute to significant societal debates on language policy and planning as part of social planning.
Vorhersagen und Entscheiden: Predictive Policing in Polizeiorganisationen
Authors: Egbert Simon , Esposito Elena , Heimstädt Maximilian 
Published: December 2022

ZusammenfassungIn vielen Organisationen kommen im Zuge der Digitalisierung Algorithmen zum Einsatz, die Vorhersagen generieren. Dieser Beitrag analysiert die Auswirkungen dieser Algorithmisierung auf Entscheidungen in der Polizei am Beispiel von Predictive Policing. Unter Predictive Policing wird die zunehmende Verwendung von Prognosesoftware zur Vorhersage und Prävention kriminellen Verhaltens in Polizeiorganisationen verstanden. Ausgehend von der Differenzierung zweier Varianten polizeilicher Prognosesoftware, die sich durch einen unterschiedlichen Grad an Verständlichkeit für deren Nutzer:innen auszeichnen, untersucht der Beitrag die Auswirkungen dieser Algorithmen auf zentrale Entscheidungsprämissen polizeilicher Organisationen: Programme, Kommunikationswege und Personen. Die Analyse ermöglicht einen Ausblick auf die Folgen der zukünftigen Entwicklung prädiktiver Software für die Polizei als Organisation, die wir im Fazit darstellen.
Post-NPM-Governance und Grenzobjekte. Zur organisationalen Funktion des Digitalisierungsdiskurses an Universitäten
Authors: Tratschin Luca 
Published: December 2022

ZusammenfassungDer Artikel zeigt anhand der Analyse von Strategien und Maßnahmen dreier Schweizer Universitäten, wie Digitalisierung als organisationales Grenzobjekt angeeignet wird. Während das Aufgreifen der Digitalisierungsthematik vordergründig dazu dient, gesellschaftliche Responsivitätserwartungen zu bedienen, kommt ihr die latente Funktion zu, die heterogenen professionellen Interessen innerhalb der Universitäten auf ein gemeinsames Projekt hin zu orientieren. Digitalisierung macht Koordination möglich, ohne einen Konsens über ihre konkrete Bedeutung und Umsetzung in unterschiedlichen Arbeitskontexten vorauszusetzen. Sie kompensiert so die Limitationen hierarchischer Steuerung, die in Governancemodellen der Post-NPM-Ära anerkannt wird, um dennoch eine gesamtorganisationale Handlungsfähigkeit der Universitäten dar- und herstellen zu können. Am Beispiel der Digitalisierung argumentiert der Artikel weiterführend, dass Grenzobjekte nicht ohne weiteres auf Dauer bestehen. Wenn Grenzobjekte die Zusammenarbeit innerhalb von Organisationen wie z. B. Universitäten längerfristig stabilisieren sollen, stellt sich die Frage, wie mit ihrem ephemeren Charakter umgegangen wird. Abschließend kommt der Artikel zu der Einschätzung, dass Grenzobjekte angesichts jüngerer Entwicklungen auch in anderen Organisationstypen, wie z. B. Unternehmen, eine zunehmende Rolle spielen könnten.
Minkowski deviation measures
Authors: Moresco Marlon , Brutti Righi Marcelo , Horta Eduardo 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
We propose to derive deviation measures through the Minkowski gauge of a given set of acceptable positions. We show that, given a suitable acceptance set, any positive homogeneous deviation measure can be accommodated in our framework. In doing so, we provide a new interpretation for such measures, namely, that they quantify how much one must shrink or deleverage a financial position for it to become acceptable. In particular, the Minkowski Deviation of a set which is convex, translation insensitive, and radially bounded at non-constants, is a generalized deviation measure in the sense of [R. T. Rockafellar, S. Uryasev and M. Zabarankin,
Generalized deviations in risk analysis,
Finance Stoch. 10 2006, 1, 51–74]. Furthermore, we explore the converse relations from properties of a Minkowski Deviation to its sub-level sets, introducing the notion of acceptance sets for deviations. Hence, we fill a gap existing in the literature, namely the lack of a well-defined concept of acceptance sets for deviation measures. Dual characterizations in terms of polar sets and support functionals are provided.

In this article, we are considering the cyclic weak ϕ-contraction and prove that the result is also true in Hausdorff metric space. We are constructing a cyclic weak ϕ iterated function system (IFS), which gives the self-referential set or attractor, called the fractal.
Convergence analysis for split hierachical monotone variational inclusion problem in Hilbert spaces
Authors: Abass H.A. , Jolaoso L. O. , Mewomo O. T. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new iterative algorithm for approximating a common solution of Split Hierarchical Monotone Variational Inclusion Problem (SHMVIP) and Fixed Point Problem (FPP) of k-strictly pseudocontractive mappings in real Hilbert spaces. Our proposed method converges strongly, does not require the estimation of operator norm and it is without imposing the strict condition of compactness; these make our method to be potentially more applicable than most existing methods in the literature. Under standard and mild assumption of monotonicity of the SHMVIP associated mappings, we establish the strong convergence of the iterative algorithm.We present some applications of our main result to approximate the solution of Split Hierarchical Convex Minimization Problem (SHCMP) and Split Hierarchical Variational Inequality Problem (SHVIP). Some numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the performance and behavior of our method. The result presented in this paper extends and complements some related results in literature.

Pheochromocytoma crisis precipitated by dexamethasone with profound lactic acidosis, but without severe hypertension
Authors: Lin David , Madhok Jai , Bouhenguel Jason , Mihm Frederick 
Published: December 2022

Summary
We describe a case of a 47-year-old patient who presented with severe lactic acidosis, troponinemia, and acute kidney injury after receiving 8 mg of intramuscular dexamethasone for seasonal allergies in the setting of an undiagnosed epinephrine-secreting pheochromocytoma. This case was atypical, however, in that the patient exhibited only mildly elevated noninvasive measured blood pressures. Following a period of alpha-adrenergic blockade, the tumor was resected successfully. Steroid administration can precipitate pheochromocytoma crisis that may present unusually as in our patient with mild hypertension but profound lactic acidosis.

Learning points

Steroids administered via any route can precipitate pheochromocytoma crisis, manifested by excessive catecholamine secretion and associated sequelae from vasoconstriction.

Lack of moderate/severe hypertension on presentation detracts from consideration of pheochromocytoma as a diagnosis.

Lactatemia after steroid administration should prompt work-up for pheochromocytoma, as it can be seen in epinephrine-secreting tumors.

Noninvasive blood pressure measurements may be unreliable during pheochromocytoma crisis due to excessive peripheral vasoconstriction.
Blockade of orexin receptor type-1 by SB-334867 and activation of orexin receptor type-2 attenuate morphine tolerance in rats
Authors: Ozdemir Ercan , Baser Tayfun , Taskiran Ahmet Sevki 
Published: December 2022

AbstractPurposeThe interaction of orexinergic neurons with the opioidergic system and their effects on morphine analgesia and tolerance have not been fully elucidated. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of the orexin-1 and orexin-2 receptor (OX1R and OX2R) agonist and antagonist on morphine analgesia and tolerance in rats.Material and methodsA total of 90 Wistar albino male rats weighing 180–220 g were used in the experiments. To induce morphine tolerance, rats were injected with a single dose of morphine (50 mg kg−1, s.c.) for 3 days. Morphine tolerance was assessed on day 4 in randomly selected rats by analgesia tests. In order to evaluate morphine tolerance situation, orexin-A, SB-334867, orexin-B and TCS OX2 29 were administered together with morphine for 3 days. The analgesic effects of orexin-A (10 μg kg−1), OXR1 antagonist SB-334867 (10 mg kg−1), OXR2 agonist orexin-B (15 μg kg−1), OXR2 antagonist TCS OX2 29 (0.5 mg kg−1) and morphine (5 mg kg−1) were measured at 15 or 30-min intervals by tail-flick and hot-plate antinociceptive tests.ResultsThe results suggested that the combination of orexin-1 receptor antagonist SB-334867 and orexin-B with morphine significantly increased the analgesic effect compared to morphine-tolerant rats. In addition, administration of orexin-A and -B alone showed significant analgesic effects compared to the saline group. However, co-administration of orexin-A and -B with morphine did not increase the analgesic efficacy of morphine.ConclusionsThe results of this study demonstrated that co-administration of SB-334867 and orexin-B with morphine attenuated morphine tolerance. Further studies are needed to elucidate the details of the interaction between orexin receptors and the opioidergic system.
Recent advances and perspective on boron nitride nanotubes: From synthesis to applications
Authors: Jakubinek Michael B. , Kim Keun Su , Kim Myung Jong , Martí Angel A. , Pasquali Matteo 
Published: December 2022

AbstractBoron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are emerging nanomaterials with analogous structures and similarly impressive mechanical properties to carbon nanotubes (CNTs), but unique chemistry and complimentary multifunctional properties, including higher thermal stability, electrical insulation, optical transparency, neutron absorption capability, and piezoelectricity. Over the past decade, advances in synthesis have made BNNTs more broadly accessible to the nanomaterials and other research communities, removing a major barrier to their utilization and research. Therefore, the field is poised to grow rapidly and see the emergence of BNNT applications ranging from electronics to aerospace materials. A key challenge, that is being gradually overcome, is the development of manufacturing processes to make “neat” BNNT materials. This overview highlights the history and current status of the field, providing both an introduction to this Focus Issue—BNNTs: Synthesis to Applications—as well as a perspective on advances, challenges, and opportunities for this emerging material.

Authors: Flaborea Favaro Roberta , Guinoza Matuda Fernanda , Galini Marcos Evandro , Rubio Pirillo Nádia 
Published: December 2022

Abordar o tema da integridade acadêmica na educação superior pode ser desafiador, dependendo da área de conhecimento. A falta de comunicação direta entre universidade e estudantes, e vice-versa, assim como o pouco material didático adequado e pensado para o público da modalidade a distância, são fatores que podem impactar as produções dos estudantes, provocando o uso inadequado de textos acadêmicos na formulação de produções próprias. Além disso, as equipes das universidades podem não conseguir atender às demandas sobre instruções para a produção acadêmica, requeridas pelos estudantes. Neste sentido, uma equipe formada por pedagogos, designers instrucionais e especialistas em arte e tecnologia de uma universidade pública virtual desenvolveram um Recurso Educacional Aberto (REA) para orientar os estudantes universitários na elaboração de suas produções acadêmicas. Por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória de cunho qualitativo, esse recurso foi avaliado por um grupo de docentes de diferentes áreas do conhecimento e diversas instituições de educação superior. Como resultados, os docentes apontam certos problemas sobre a integridade acadêmica em suas aulas, especialmente nos cursos da área de humanas, e sugerem formas diversas de explorar este material didático. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é, a partir da experiência desenvolvida na elaboração de um material didático sobre integridade acadêmica, descrever, analisar e propor ações para o trabalho com estudantes da educação superior em diferentes contextos, especialmente na educação a distância.

CIVIL CODE OF THE RSFSR OF 1922: BACKGROUND OF ACCEPTANCE AND CONTINUITY OF LEGAL REGULATION
Authors: Ruzanova V. D. 
Published: December 2022

The article examines socio-political, economic and legal
preconditions of acceptance of the Civil Code of the RSFSR,
1922. It is noted that the publication of the decrees of the Soviet
power predecessors of the Civil Code was due more to the
revolutionary expediency, rather than to the goals of building a
new system of legislation. This points to the continuity of the
Civil Code of the RSFSR, 1922 to the draft of the Civil Code of
the Russian Empire, in spite of the fact that the Code after the
decree has radically changed some civil institutions, and completely
reversed the others.

This article analyzes the practice of dismissal of criminal cases
in connection with the reconciliation of the parties (Article 25 of
the Russian Federation Code of Criminal Procedure) in federal
district and municipal courts of the Samara region. The author
observed that the dismissal of criminal cases in connection with
the reconciliation of the parties is placed in more dependency on
additional, not provided by law conditions specific circumstances
of the crime, data on the identity of the defendant, extenuating
circumstances. At the same time determination of similar additional
conditions in the case permits some judges to dismiss a criminal
case, and the other to refuse dismissal. The author has tried to
examine the reasons for the lack of uniformity in the judicial
practice of criminal cases dismissal in connection with the
reconciliation of the parties.
