Redistribution In A Globalized World
Authors: Agrawal David R. , Foremny Dirk 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Due to technological change, the opening of borders, and increased economic integration, the financial costs of relocating businesses and factors of production, moving residences, changing jobs, and transporting goods and services across borders pose new challenges for countries and subnational governments seeking to implement redistributive policies. This increasing mobility across borders implies that redistributive policies may amplify interjurisdictional fiscal externalities. In this article, we selectively review the literature relating to redistributive policy in an open economy setting. We then consider some of the implications of globalization for policy design, both within federal systems and across countries. Although globalization poses new challenges for fiscal systems, it does not necessarily imply that redistributive policy becomes untenable and possibly enhances the need for redistribution.

Published: November 2022

Abstract

Objectives
To evaluate and present the data regarding clinical, laboratory, radiological and the results of molecular genetic analysis of patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in our clinics.

Methods
A total of 9 patients with CHI followed at Istanbul Medipol University. Data related to gender, age at presentation, birth weight, gestational age, consanguinity, glucose and insulin levels at diagnosis, treatment modalities, response to treatment, the results of genetic analysis and radiological evaluation were gathered from the files.

Results
The oldest age at presentation was 6 months. KATP channel mutation was detected in 55% (n: 5). Diazoxide unresponsiveness was seen in 55% (n: 5). Octreotide was effective in 3 of them. 18F-DOPA PET performed in 4 diazoxide unresponsive patients revealed focal lesion in 3 of them. Spontaneous remission rate was 66% (n:6). All the patients with normal genetic result achieved spontaneous remission. Spontaneous remission was even noted in diazoxide unresponsive patients and in patients with focal lesion on 18F-DOPA PET.

Conclusions
Clinical presentation of patients with congenital hypereinsulinism is heterogeneous. Spontaneous remission rate is quite high even in patients with severe clinical presentation. It is important to develop methods that can predict which patients will have spontaneous remission. Reporting the clinical and laboratory data of each patient is important and will help to guide the management of patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.

Abstract

Objectives
To evaluate the indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the care of women with pregnancies complicated by gestational or pre-existing diabetes, and their maternal-fetal outcomes.

Methods
A cross-sectional panel data conducted in a University Hospital in Southern Brazil. Maternal-fetal outcomes and predictors of care from 235 pregnant women with type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes were evaluated. Two time periods were compared: six months preceding the pandemic, in 2019, and the COVID-19 period from September 2020 to March 2021. Comparisons were performed using analysis of variance, Mann–Whitney U, Fisher’s exact and T-tests. Risks were calculated using the Poisson regression with robust estimates.

Results
Maternal age was lower (32.1 ± 6.8 vs. 34.4 ± 6.6, p=0.009) and rates of depression/anxiety were higher (16.5 vs. 7.4%, p=0.046) in the group evaluated during the COVID-19. Neonatal hypoglycemia (RR 4.04; 95% CI 1.37–11.98, p=0.012), and SGA rates (RR 4.29; 95% CI 1.93–9.54, p<0.001) were higher in the group assessed before the pandemic.

Conclusions
Despite economic, social and structural impacts of the pandemic, parameters of maternal care were similar; diabetes control improved, and neonatal hypoglycemia and SGA rates were lower among pregnant women with diabetes during the pandemic.
Trophic structure and foraging strategies in a bat community in northern Pantanal, Brazil
Authors: de Oliveira Marcione Brito , Brandão Martha Lima , Cordeiro José Luís Passos , de Oliveira Luiz Flamarion Barbosa , Peracchi Adriano Lúcio 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The influence of the landscape mosaic on the composition of the bat fauna regarding its trophic guild in a ranch area of northern Pantanal was evaluated. Seven trophic categories and five foraging strategies were found, composing 11 guild associations. Cluster analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) revealed the structure of the data and enabled a broader understanding of resource exploitation. The similarity between sites for the presence of guilds was moderate, with the presence of aerial insectivores and trawling insectivores occurring in most of them, mainly in pasture areas and in the cambará forest. Gleaning sedentary frugivores, gleaning nomadic frugivores, and gleaning nectarivores were present in almost all sites, most often in dense acuri palm forest. Frugivores were the most numerous at the individual level, followed by trawling insectivores and hematophagous. The similarities between groups ranged from low to moderate. Some subgroups identified in the analyzes showed high similarity, with strong congruences between sites. The areas used by cattle do not seem to restrict the use by some species of bats, especially those already proven to be associated with degraded areas. However, information is still lacking to predict which level of alteration is acceptable for the conservation of each guild and foraging strategy of bat species.
A pragmatic analysis of Shylock’s use ofthouandyou
Authors: Pojprasat Somboon 
Published: November 2022

AbstractShakespeare’s Shylock has been so debatable a character since its introduction to the English stage. According to the existing literature, there is an on-going debate as to whether this Jewish character is a villain or falls victim to the anti-Semitic community. The current study applies deictic theory of pronouns to examine the relationship between this character’s employment ofthouandyou, and his affect based on the hypothesis that a person’s use of pronouns, among other function words, can reveal their sense of self. Findings have shown that Shylock uses both pronouns in the normative way considerably more than in the pragmatic way; that he adheres to the normative use of the terms more than do his Christian counterparts; and that when he pragmatically uses them, expressions of his negative emotions often appear. Findings also suggest that (fictional) persons’ use of second-person pronouns reflects to some degree their sense of freedom and reciprocity relative to others. In this case, the rather restrictive and abusive employment ofthouandyouby the Jew indicates him being suppressed and alienated from society, which in turn drives him to wreak vengeance on the Christians – the culminating action that makes him meet his eventual downfall.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Uranium removal from wet phosphoric acid is a vital process for food and environmental security. The incorporation of thiourea-formaldehyde into the kaolinite networks was performed to obtain an effective and acid-resistant sorbent. The prepared composite was applied for U(VI) uptake from crude phosphoric acid. X-ray diffraction, EDX, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared analyses were carried out to explore the properties of the yield composite. The sorption characteristics, i.e., capacity, kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic were investigated. The anticipated data declare that the reaction is fast whereas 60 min is sufficient to reach the equilibrium state. The experimental results obeyed to Pseudo second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum sorption capacity was about 5.8 mg g−1. Thermodynamic parameters displayed that the sorption process is endothermic, feasible, and spontaneous. The displayed results demonstrate that the prepared composite could be used as the proper material for producing eco-friendly fertilizers.
Epistemic and Deontic Modality in Romanian and Serbian Scientific Discourse
Authors: Novakov Predrag , Lazović Mihaela 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Modal verbs expressing epistemic and deontic modality can be used as discourse markers to implicate the authors’ attitude to the propositional content (doubt, certainty, hedging). Based on English modality framework, this paper discusses the uses of modals in expressing author’s attitude in Romanian and Serbian scientific discourse (social sciences and humanities) and compares these uses in the two languages.
Rewriting the Past as a Snapshot and Story. A Postmodernist Vision on the Concept of Truth and the Present in Julian Barnes’s Staring at the Sun
Authors: Catană Elisabeta Simona 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This essay analyses Julian Barnes’s novel, Staring at the Sun, and shows that the concepts of truth and the present are rewritten stories of the past. In a postmodernist manner, in Julian Barnes’s novel the present is a story to be completed by the readers based on their analysis and understanding of the past.We are not presented a certain truth of the past, which is associated with a snapshot and with a slide, but various interpretations of it in the characters’ stories.
A Double Colonization: The Case of the Arab Bedouin Woman in Fadia Faqir’s Pillars of Salt
Authors: Orouq Ayham Abu 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This study scrutinizes Fadia Faqir’s Pillars of Salt by analyzing the various forms of violence against the protagonists, Maha and Hannyeh, their heterogeneous representation and their conditions within the cultural encounter between modernity and traditionality. Applying postcolonial feminism, the analysis of Faqir’s novel shows that colonization and patriarchy interact as double structures of oppression that produce cumulative forms of violence against the colonized women. It also shows that these women’s responses to oppressions are divergent: while Maha adopts unique strategies of self-empowerment that help her resist subordination, Hannyeh espouses limited ones that intensify her disempowerment. As for the encounter between modernity and traditionality, the analysis indicates that imperial colonization and its modernity have destructive consequences on the colonized nation: they blur both its social formation and cultural identity.
From Fidelity to Creativity: Translating Book Titles
Authors: Nicolae Cristina 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The present paper reflects our interest and research in the field of marketing translation and addresses the pragmatic nature of title translation for literary works, continuing the analysis of two translation pillars we work with, as previously employed in a study we published on film title translation. As such, “fidelity” and “creativity” would frame the dynamic exchange that authenticates the linguistic particularization of titles as reader-oriented or content-oriented while making use of translation methods and procedures.
Cú Chulainn’s first arming and outing (cét-gabál gaiscid): Roman and Greek parallels for his slaying of three brothers (Horatius, the Curiatii and Heracles), “woman trouble” (Horatius and Coriolanus), and immersions (Diomedes and Odysseus)
Authors: McCone Kim 
Published: November 2022

Zusammenfassung
Die Tötung der drei Söhne von Necht Scéne in Einzelkämpfen mit Cú Chulainn in seiner letzten ‘Jugendtat’ wurde schon in einer frühen Arbeit Dumézils (1942) mit dem legendären Kampf zwischen zwei Gruppen von Drillingen verglichen, in dem der einzige überlebende römische Horatius die drei Curiatii aus Alba Longa der Reihe nach umbrachte. Später (Dumézil 1956 und 1970) wurden diese und weitere Parallelen, vor allem die Siege von Trita ‘Drittem’ (dreier Brüder) und Herakles über dreiköpfige Ungeheuer in der indischen resp. griechischen Mythologie, unter den gemeinsamen Nenner ‘der Dritte erschlägt die Dreiheit’ gebracht und auf einen uridg. Mythos zurückgeführt: Dieser sei in den griechischen und indoiranischen Versionen am treuesten bewahrt, in den römischen und irischen jedoch zum Teil der rationalisierend-historischen (im Gegensatz zur mythologischen) Denkweise angepasst worden. Der vorliegende Beitrag stimmt weitgehend mit Dumézils Analyse überein, fügt aber einige Modifizierungen und Erweiterungen hinzu, vor allem: (1) Herakles’ Ermordung seiner drei Söhne (die naturgemäß Brüder waren), die für eine schon uridg. Variante mit drei erschlagenen menschlichen Brüdern neben dem Mythos der Tötung eines dreiköpfigen Ungeheuers spricht; (2) die Geschichte von Coriolanus, dessen Begegnung mit seiner eigenen Mutter und anderen römischen Matronen in mancher Hinsicht der Begegnung Cú Chulainns mit den Frauen von Ulster näher steht als der von Dumézil herangezogene Streit zwischen Horatius und seiner Schwester; (3) eine bisher unbeachtete Parallele für das dreifache Tauchen von Cú Chulainn in kaltes Wasser nach seiner Heimkehr am Ende seiner letzten Jugendtat, nämlich die dreiteilige (Seebad, Bad, Salbung) Abkühlung und Reinigung der griechischen Helden Diomedes und Odysseus nach ihrer Heimkehr aus einem erfolgreichen Ausflug im zehnten Buch der Ilias.
Welsh Yr Eifl: a trace of the Brittonic u-stem dual?
Authors: Sims-Williams Patrick 
Published: November 2022

Zusammenfassung
Der walisische Dual zieht typischerweise Lenition nach sich, wie zum Beispiel in y ddauddyn bresennol hyn ‚diese zwei anwesenden Personen‘. Obwohl er normalerweise durch das Zahlwort ‚zwei‘ verstärkt wird, ist eine Ausnahme gefell ‚Zwilling‘ (< lateinisch gemellus), dual yr efeilliaid ‚die Zwillinge‘ (mit Lenition, aber einer ahistorischen Pluralendung in einem o-Stamm). Eine weitere Ausnahme ist das Oronym Yr Eifl ‚die [zwei] Gabeln‘. Gafl (f.) hat im Britannischen eine etymologisch u-stämmige Pluralendung (walisisch gaflau, altbretonisch gablou). Es wird daher argumentiert, dass sein Dual ebenfalls u-stämmig < britannisch *gablī < keltisch *gablū sein könnte. Hier werden Belege für das vollständige Paradigma erbracht: sg. gafl, yr afl; pl. gaflau, y gaflau; dual geifl, yr eifl.
Jenseits religiöser Eindeutigkeit
Authors: Kara Cem 
Published: November 2022

Zusammenfassung
Vorliegende Abhandlung diskutiert die Frage ambiger Glaubensvorstellungen anhand historischer Überlieferungen im Alevitentum. Die Studie setzt einen produktionsästhetischen Fokus und eruiert die Motive und insbesondere die Intentionalität besagter Ambiguitäten. Hierfür zieht die Studie mit den Textsammlungen der sogenannten Buyruk-Tradition und der Poesie des safavidischen Schahs Ismail I. (1487–1524) zwei für Alevit:innen in Geschichte wie Gegenwart als konstitutiv geltende Quellen heran. Als thematisches Fallbeispiel werden Ideen zur zentralen alevitischen Heiligenfigur Imam Ali (600–661) besprochen. In beiden Quellenarten zeichnen sich mindestens drei deutlich voneinander unterscheidbare Ali-Vorstellungen ab, die in einem Spannungsverhältnis zueinander stehen. Neben der Auffächerung der einzelnen Ebenen der Ali-Vorstellung führt die Studie verschiedene Deutungsansätze an, die diese ambigen Glaubensvorstellungen erklären könnten. Dabei steht die Frage der Intentionalität der Ambiguitäten im Fokus – ob und welche Intentionen die Autoren mit der Integration mehrdeutiger Ideen verfolgt haben können. Neben vielen Ansätzen wird die Idee, dass die Autoren mit verschiedenen Konzepten unterschiedliche Adressat:innen ansprechen wollten, ausführlicher diskutiert.
Dis/abling Religion
Authors: Jelinek-Menke Ramona 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
How do religions and social order interact with each other? Scholars of religions have repeatedly explored this question from numerous perspectives. However, they have yet to utilise the approach of disability studies, which focuses on disability as a social ordering process, to address this question. As such, not only have the manifold empirical relationships between religions and disability often been disregarded, but a great theoretical potential also remains untapped. In this paper, I demonstrate what the study of religions can gain from analysing processes of disablement. In doing so, I introduce the concept of dis/abling religion, which integrates the study of religions and disability studies, making it possible to systematically grasp the entanglements between religions, disability, and social order.

AbstractMitochondria are increasingly recognized as cellular hubs to orchestrate signaling pathways that regulate metabolism, redox homeostasis, and cell fate decisions. Recent research revealed a role of mitochondria also in innate immune signaling; however, the mechanisms of how mitochondria affect signal transduction are poorly understood. Here, we show that the NF‐κB pathway activated by TNF employs mitochondria as a platform for signal amplification and shuttling of activated NF‐κB to the nucleus. TNF treatment induces the recruitment of HOIP, the catalytic component of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC), and its substrate NEMO to the outer mitochondrial membrane, where M1‐ and K63‐linked ubiquitin chains are generated. NF‐κB is locally activated and transported to the nucleus by mitochondria, leading to an increase in mitochondria‐nucleus contact sites in a HOIP‐dependent manner. Notably, TNF‐induced stabilization of the mitochondrial kinase PINK1 furthermore contributes to signal amplification by antagonizing the M1‐ubiquitin‐specific deubiquitinase OTULIN. Overall, our study reveals a role for mitochondria in amplifying TNF‐mediated NF‐κB activation, both serving as a signaling platform, as well as a transport mode for activated NF‐κB to the nuclear.
Comparative study on the performance of caryota urens fiber reinforced concrete of different grades along with Digital image processing techniques
Authors: Ramalingam Vijayalakshmi , Sameer Mohamed , Ramalingam Geetha 
Published: November 2022

This research work focuses on the effect of natural caryota urens plant fiber as reinforcement on the strength properties of concrete of different grade. Fiber length of 10 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm were added to the concrete mix at an amount of 3% of the binder content. Three different lengths of fibers at fixed volume fraction were added to M30, M40 and M50 grades of concrete. The workability characteristics and mechanical property of twelve different fiber reinforced concrete mixes were investigated. The effect of fibers on the post cracking behaviour of the concrete specimen was investigated using digital image processing technique and video measuring system images. Using the developed Linear regression plot, empirical equations were formulated to establish relation between the compressive strength and other mechanical properties of concrete. From the study it can be concluded that the caryota fiber with rich cellulose content contribute to arrest the cracks at the initial stage of loading and prevents major crack plane in the post peak region. Fibers mainly contribute to increase tensile strength of concrete. The effect of fibers is more prominent in M30 mix concrete when compared to M40 and M50 concrete mixes. This research work mainly focuses on the application of natural plant fibers in concrete as reinforcement.

Introducción. Estudios sobre características estructurales del ovario asociadas con calidad del complejo cúmulos-oocito (COCs) en bovinos, contribuyen con la definición de estrategias para mejorar la eficiencia reproductiva. Objetivo. Determinar el peso y tamaño de los ovarios, calidad de los folículos y COCs en hembras Cebú, para establecer diferencias entre el ovario derecho e izquierdo. Materiales y métodos. Entre marzo y julio del 2017, se obtuvieron 52 ovarios de veintiséis vacas Cebú. Los ovarios y folículos se pesaron y midieron. Los folículos se agruparon en tres categorías: a) <3 mm (TFI), b) 3-6 mm (TFII) y c) >6 mm (TFIII). La calidad de los folículos se determinó mediante la técnica de irrigación-traslucidez (TIT) y la de COCs por las características del citoplasma y células del cúmulo como buena (CI), regular (CII) y mala (CIII), y mediante la prueba azul brillante de cresilo se categorizaron como BCB+ y BCB-. Resultados. La longitud, ancho y peso de los ovarios fueron 2,7 ± 0,6 cm, 1,8 ± 0,5 cm y 7,0 ± 3 g, respectivamente, con diferencias para longitud y peso entre ovario derecho e izquierdo (p<0,01). La mayor cantidad de folículos se obtuvieron en TFI (p<0,05). El 88,56 % de los folículos evaluados fueron de buena calidad. El 52 % y 44,2 % de COCs fueron clasificados como CI y BCB+, respectivamente. Cuando se consideró el tamaño del folículo y la calidad del COCs, se evidenció que en el grupo TFI el 22 % fueron CI, el 34 % CII y el 44 % CIII, y el TFII el 31 % fue CI, el 21 % CII y el 48 % CIII. No se observan diferencias entre ovario izquierdo y derecho. Conclusión. El ovario derecho presentó un mayor tamaño y peso, mayor número de estructuras foliculares y mayor número de CCOs de buena calidad.
