Weihungen von Waffen und Rüstungsstücken in griechischen Heiligtümern. Bemerkungen zu einer Votivsitte
Creators: name: Baitinger, Holger
Publisher: name: Edition Topoi
Year: 2016

description: Waffen und Rüstungsstücke gehören zwischen dem späten 8. und dem 5. Jh. v. Chr. in Heiligtümern der griechischen Welt zu den geläufigsten Votivgaben. Zunächst werden die Befunde des großen panhellenischen Heiligtums von Olympia diskutiert, bevor weitere Aspekte des Phänomens dargestellt werden, wie die Ausstellung der geweihten Wehr als Tropaia oder die Aufstellung in Tempeln und Schatzhäusern sowie Weihinschriften auf den Dingen selbst. Ein wesentliches Element bei der Etablierung dieser Weihesitte dürfte in der Herausbildung der Polisgesellschaft und der Hoplitenphalanx liegen. Ab ca. 500 v. Chr. treten neben Waffen auch andere Weihegeschenke aus Kriegsbeute auf. Schließlich wird ein möglicher Zusammenhang italischer Brucherzhorte der frühen Eisenzeit mit fragmentierten Importstücken in griechischen Heiligtümern diskutiert.

description: This paper examines the potential for using drone technology to enhance last-mile delivery operations in Bangladesh. A hybrid methodology combined a systematic literature review on drone delivery with primary data collection through surveys assessing public acceptance in Bangladesh. Results indicate cautious optimism towards drone adoption, with recognition of benefits like efficiency and sustainability but concerns around safety, privacy, and job impacts. Addressing these concerns through policies and public education will be key to successful integration. Demonstration projects evidencing reliable operations may also foster acceptance. While still facing limitations like battery life and payload restrictions, strategic focus on short urban routes offers near-term feasibility. Further technological improvements can expand capacity. Overall, deliberative integration of drones holds transformative potential to make last-mile delivery faster, greener, and more accessible.

Radiation exposure in the perioperative environment: Are we safe?
Creators: name: Tierney, Patricia
Publisher: name: CQUniversity
Year: 2022
Subjects: Nursing not elsewhere classified

description: Like most things in today's world, health technology has undergone many changes over the past few decades. Medical and technological advances have changed many health practices. The subject of this study is perioperative personnels' knowledge and understanding of radiation in the perioperative environment. The concern of this study is whether perioperative personnel who are exposed to radiation during their daily work routines are adapting their work practices in line with this changing technology, specifically regarding radiation in the Operating Suite. A focus group study was undertaken to determine the knowledge and understanding of radiation exposure and safety held by perioperative personnel during their daily work routines within the Operating Suite. The personnel studied came from diverse backgrounds with varying education levels and experiences. They consisted of preoperative nurses, theatre assistants, surgeons and anaesthetists. A total of 23 personnel from the population of 82 participated in four homogeneous focus groups. The discussions were tape-recorded and copies of the transcripts and preliminary analysis were returned to participants for correction, comment and verification. Following the processes of data collection and ongoing data analysis five intra and inter related categories were identified. These were the dangers of radiation exposure; the lack of knowledge and education on radiation exposure and safety; the radiation environment; protective devices and apparel; and, the radiographer's role and responsibilities. The study identified self -determined deficits in the knowledge and understanding of radiation exposure and safe radiation practices by the participants. The results demonstrate that, at this point in time, safe radiation practices by perioperative personnel are not optimised within this environment. The recommendations - education on radiation exposure and safety, the appropriate quantity and quality of protective apparel, attention given to signage and warning systems, the roles and responsibilities of radiographers identified and enacted upon; and, future research involving the monitoring of perioperative personnel to determine whether safe exposure levels were not exceeded - could indeed provide a safer perioperative environment. It has also been recommended that policies and procedures and an education package covering the use of radiation within the perioperative environment are required

Hirnverletzung

description: In der Heilpädagogischen Früherziehung (HFE) werden u.a. Familien mit Kindern mit einer Hirnverletzung begleitet. Im Verlauf der Arbeit können Fragen entstehen, welche insbesondere die Geschwister betreffen. In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wurden sechs Familien mittels Leitfadeninterviews zu ihren individuellen Lebensbedingungen und den Auswirkungen auf die psychosoziale Situation der Geschwister befragt. Die Aussagen wurden mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet und mit dem aktuellen Forschungsstand verglichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Aufwachsen mit einem Kind mit einer Hirnverletzung für die Geschwister viele positive Aspekte mit sich bringt, diese ihre Bedürfnisse im Alltag aber oft dem betroffenen Kind anpassen müssen. Aufgabe der HFE ist es, die geschwisterlichen Bedürfnisse sorgfältig und gezielt in die Beratung der Eltern und in die Förderung einfliessen zu lassen.
Dinge zwischen Menschen und Göttern. Zu Deutungsansätzen für Dedikationspraktiken in frühen griechischen Heiligtümern
Creators: name: Bocher, Susanne
Publisher: name: Edition Topoi
Year: 2016

description: Interaktionen zwischen Mensch und Gottheit sind durch abstrakte und materielle Elemente performativer Akte geprägt. Während die abstrakten Elemente ohne schriftliche Fixierung der Vergessenheit anheimfallen, können materielle Überreste ritueller Handlungen im archäologischen Kontext unter Umständen die Zeiten überdauern. Auch in der Kultausübung im antiken Griechenland finden sich beide Elemente wieder. Anhand der historischen und archäologischen Quellenlage werden im Folgenden einige Zusammenhänge zwischen Dedikant, Weihgabe und Gottheit veranschaulicht bzw. rekonstruiert. Dabei werden verschiedene Thesen und Überlegungen zum ‚Gabentausch‘ bzw. der ‚Opfergabe‘ thematisiert. Als Bezugspunkt dient das Heiligtum von Olympia in Westgriechenland mit seinen qualitativ und quantitativ herausragenden Weihgabenfunden. Die Fundgruppe der Stirnbänder aus Bronzeblech wird hierfür exemplarisch für die Behandlung von Votiven im Rahmen ritueller Handlungen untersucht.

description: The city of Dhaka would be the centerpiece of this study's analysis of the challenges and trends affecting the distribution system for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) in extremely densely inhabited metropolitan regions. The major goal is to determine the causes of FMCG supply interruptions in housing areas and to provide practical solutions to these problems. 
 
Methodological Approach
The study incorporates a thorough approach that includes both internet-based and offline questionnaires and interviews to gather primary data. Customer preferences, retail amenities, and supply chain obstacles are all studied using analytical methods. Gaining a thorough knowledge of the complexity of the FMCG supply system requires a comprehensive approach.
 
Findings
Residents in urban residential areas suffer considerable obstacles to obtaining necessary FMCG items, according to the study. These difficulties include constrained retail location choices, a smaller selection of products, and disturbed supply networks. The research also demonstrates how these problems affect customer behavior by annoying and dissatisfying locals.

Der Oxos-Tempel. Räumliche Aspekte und Kultkontinuität im Spiegel der Votivpraxis
Creators: name: Lindström, Gunvor
Publisher: name: Edition Topoi
Year: 2016

description: Der Oxostempel im heutigen Tadschikistan war eines der der bedeutendsten antiken Heiligtümer der Region. Der monumentale Lehmziegelbau wurde in hellenistischer Zeit errichtet und bestand bis zum Beginn des 3. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. fort. Der Oxostempel markiert einen Platz, der in mehrfacher Hinsicht durch landschaftliche Kontraste charakterisiert wird, eine topographische Situation die mit Lagen heiliger Orte auch in anderen Kulturräumen vergleichbar ist. Anhand der zahlreichen Deponierungen von Votiven aus dem Tempelinneren lassen sich sowohl lokale als auch griechische Einflüsse auf die Kultpraxis belegen. Es zeigt sich eine Kontinuität über mehrere Jahrhunderte. Dies betrifft einerseits die Vorliebe für Waffenweihungen, andererseits deutet die Thesaurierung und Deponierung in bestimmten Bereichen des Heiligtums auf die Tradierung von ritualpraktischem Wissen von Generation zu Generation durch das Kultpersonal.

description: Nach einem kurzen Überblick zur Romani-Geschichte in Rumänien werden einige moderne Beobachtungen beschrieben, insbesondere zur Ansammlung von Reichtum und dessen auffälliger Zurschaustellung in spezifischen Formen und bei bestimmten Gelegenheiten. Unter Betrachtung der modernen Situation von einem archäologischen Standpunkt wird festgestellt, dass die Elite, die wir ‚archäologisch‘ sehen würden, tatsächlich eine Elite ist (der Romani Bevölkerung), diese aber insgesamt eine marginalisierte und diskriminierte Minderheit sind. Die Frage wird gestellt, welche Elite wir eigentlich erkennen, wenn wir archäologisch von ‚fürstlichen‘ Gräbern sprechen, und es wird dazu aufgerufen die Möglichkeit multiethnischer/multikultureller Gemeinschaften in der Urgeschichte stärker in Betracht zu ziehen.

Dies betrifft auch Zugriff und Strukturierung des Raumes durch die Menschen. In diesem Beitrag werden anhand einer Vielzahl von ethnographischen und historischen Beispielen rekurrierende Elemente dieser Raumgestaltung aufgezeigt. Symbolisches und räumliches Zentrum der traditionellen Siedlungstopographie ist die Agora, um die sich der dörfliche Raum mit seinen verschiedenen Symbol- und Aktivitätszonen konzentrisch anordnet. Außerhalb des durch Grenzmarkierungen abgeschirmten eigentlichen Siedlungsbereiches befindet sich eine periphere Zone, Aufenthalt für sozial Randständige, wiederum weiter entfernt ordnet sich der Naturraum an, in dem sich die räumlichen Beziehungen des dörflichen Raumes spiegeln. Insgesamt bildet sich so ein nostrozentrisches, topographisches System der jeweiligen Gemeinschaft heraus.

description: Globalization has led to remarkable market growth, but it also presents fickleness due to changing consumer preferences. Quantitative models and mathematical tools crucial in transportation problems, to minimize costs and meet people need in certain areas. Transportation problem widely used for decision making tool in engineering, business management and many other fields. In this project, we have performed cost minimization for transportation problem of "Highway sweets and confectionary" Company, a well-known company for selling their sweets, pastries and cakes, dry foods in different regions from their 3 factories to different destinations. In order to address the transportation problem in Bangladesh, this model will be quite efficient as it is one of the most common manufactured food business models of Bangladesh. Here we employ Vogel's approximation in order to get feasible solution for the reducing their cost. Here we also apply the MODI method to get optimal solution which will indicate we can further minimize the cost after applying the Vogel's approximation.

description: Die Annäherung an die Leitbegriffe der Tagung Raum, Gabe und Erinnerung wird im Beitrag anhand der besonderen sozialen Praxis im Umgang mit Objekten, nämlich ihrer Niederlegung versucht. Insbesondere die Gabe kann einen vielversprechenden Einstieg in die Diskussion um Prozesse des Erinnerns gewähren. Gleichwohl werfen die Deponierungen aufgrund ihrer meist nur schütteren Überlieferung stets Fragen nach der Repräsentativität des Quellenbildes und der davon abgeleiteten Deutungen auf. Die folgenden Betrachtungen widmen sich möglichen Kontinuitäten im neolithischen und bronzezeitlichen Deponierungsgeschehen und versuchen auszuloten, inwieweit sich im Quellenbild anhand von räumlichen Kontinuitäten Prozesse des Erinnerns zu erkennen geben.

description: We conducted a NIH-funded clinical intervention pilot study to improve depression care for short-stay nursing home Medicare-reimbursed rehabilitation patients. Despite a solid theoretical and clinical grounding and the support of a large nursing home company, we encountered several roadblocks to implementation, including 1) involving patients and families, 2) communication between providers, 3) involving community primary care physicians (PCP), 4) staff time constraints, and 5) conducting research with short-stay patients. While frustrating from a research standpoint, these roadblocks closely reflect problems identified by the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) as impeding the delivery of high quality transitional care in geriatrics. We describe these research roadblocks as we encountered them in the clinical setting and place each within the larger context of challenges associated with care transitions, especially for older persons with complex health needs receiving nursing home rehabilitation. Finally, we offer recommendations for researchers conducting much needed research within geriatric transitional care settings, including starting early in the care transition chain and assisting patients and families to provide continuity across care settings.
Hoards, Fragmentation and Exchange in the European Bronze Age

description: Lange Zeit galt der Zustand bronzezeitlicher Deponate in Europa als Hinweis auf das Verbergungsmotiv: Intakte Gegenstände wurden als Weihungen gesehen, fragmentierte Bronzen hingegen hielt man für verborgenes Rohmetall. In diesem Artikel wird gezeigt, dass dieser Dualismus und die Unterscheidung zwischen dem sozialen Wert und dem Gebrauchswert der Dinge höchst problematisch ist und nicht ohne weiteres für bronzezeitliche Gesellschaften vorausgesetzt werden darf. Dazu werden eine Reihe von Beispielen für Deponierungen fragmentierter Gegenstände von den britischen Inseln diskutiert. Es zeigt sich, dass die intentionelle Fragmentierung Hinweise auf die Biographie der Objekte und ihrer Besitzer geben kann, die Art ihrer Zirkulation, ihres Niederlegungsortes und prädepositionelle Handlungsketten.

description: Studies have consistently shown racial disparities in advance directive completion among nursing home residents but have not examined whether this disparity is due to differences in interactions with healthcare providers. This study had two aims: to determine whether the racial disparity in advance directive completion by nursing home residents is related to differences in discussion of treatment restrictions with healthcare providers, and to examine if there is a racial disparity in perceptions of residents’ significant others that additional discussions would be helpful. Participants were 2,171 white or black (16% of sample) residents newly admitted to 59 nursing homes. Data were collected from structured interviews with residents’ significant others and review of nursing home charts. Questions included whether advance directives were completed, whether treatment restrictions were discussed with the resident and/or family, and whether more discussion would have been helpful. Frequencies by race were determined for each question; p-values and logistic regression models were obtained using SAS. Black residents were less likely to have completed any advance directives (p<0.001). Also, black residents (p<.001) and their family members (p<.001) were less likely than whites to have discussed treatment restrictions with healthcare providers. Logistic regression models indicated that disparity in treatment restrictions narrowed when these discussions occurred. Significant others of black residents were more likely to consider further discussion helpful (p<0.001), especially with physicians. Racial disparity in treatment restrictions may be due in part to a difference in discussion with healthcare providers; increasing discussion may narrow this disparity.

description: Feeding and eating difficulties leading to weight loss are common in the advanced stages of dementia. When such problems arise, family members are often faced with making a decision regarding the placement of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube. The existing evidence based on observational studies suggests that feeding tubes do not improve survival or reduce the risk of aspiration, yet the use of feeding tubes is prevalent in patients with dementia, and the majority of nursing home residents do not have orders documenting their wishes about the use of artificial hydration and nutrition. One reason is that orders to forgo artificial hydration and nutrition get wrongly interpreted as “do not feed,” resulting in a reluctance of families to agree to them. Furthermore, nursing homes fear regulatory scrutiny of weight loss and wrongly believe that the use of feeding tubes signifies that everything possible is being done. These challenges might be overcome with the creation of clear language that stresses the patient's goals of care. A new order, “comfort feeding only,” that states what steps are to be taken to ensure the patient's comfort through an individualized feeding care plan, is proposed. Comfort feeding only through careful hand feeding, if possible, offers a clear goal-oriented alternative to tube feeding and eliminates the apparent care-no care dichotomy imposed by current orders to forgo artificial hydration and nutrition.

description: Transitions between healthcare settings are associated with errors in communication of information and treatment plans for frail older patients, but strategies to improve transitional care are lacking. A systematic review was conducted to identify and evaluate interventions to improve communication of accurate and appropriate medication lists and advance directives for elderly patients who transition between nursing homes and hospitals. MEDLINE, ISI Web, and EBSCO Host (from inception to June 2008) were searched for original, English-language research articles reporting interventions to improve communication of medication lists and advance directives. Five studies ultimately met all inclusion criteria. Two described interventions that enhanced transmission of advance directives, two described interventions that improved communication of medication lists, and one intervention addressed both goals. One study was a randomized controlled trial, whereas the remaining studies used historical or no controls. Study results indicate that a standardized patient transfer form may assist with the communication of advance directives and medication lists and that pharmacist-led review of medication lists may help identify omitted or indicated medications on transfer. Although preliminary evidence supports adoption of these methods to improve transitions between nursing home and hospital, further research is needed to define target populations and outcomes measures for high-quality transitional care.

Diese Modelle werden aufgrund ihrer langfristigen Wirksamkeit als Teil des kulturellen Gedächtnisses beschrieben. Anschließend wird anhand einer Inhaltsanalyse des Hortes von Rydec in Nordböhmen gezeigt werden, dass es sich bei den sogenannten Brucherzdepots um eine verbindliche Auswahl aus Einzelweihungen verschiedener Personen handelt. Die verschiedenen räumlichen, zeitlichen und sozialen Ebenen solcher Komplexe offenbaren einen langfristigen Thesaurierungsprozess. Durch die strukturelle Parallelisierbarkeit mit Flussopferplätzen und antiken griechischen Heiligtümern können entsprechende Horte als sekundärer Niederschlag ganz ähnlicher Dedikationspraktiken identifiziert werden.

description: Ausgehend von den umfangreichen Waffendeponierungen der späten Bronzezeit Großbritanniens beschäftigt sich der vorliegende Beitrag mit der rituellen Einbettung kriegerischer Auseinandersetzungen. Anhand ihrer Gebrauchsspuren und mutwilligen Beschädigungen sowie in Bezug zu vergleichbaren Entdeckungen aus anderen Zeiten und Räumen, vor allem den Moorfunden der römischen Kaiserzeit in Nordeuropa, wird diese besondere Art von Horten als Opfer nach gewalttätigen Konflikten identifiziert, bei welchem die Sieger die von den Feinden erbeuteten Ausrüstungen zerstörten und an ausgesuchten Orten übermenschlichen Wesenheiten übereigneten. Ihre Niederlegung markierte das Ende eines spezifischen Zeitraumes gesellschaftlich sanktionierter Gewalt. Obwohl die Waffen nicht sichtbar deponiert wurden, stärkte die komplexe rituelle Performanz die Memorierung der Ereignisse und wirkte auf die Gruppe der Handelnden identitätsstiftend.

description: Ausgehend von neuen Forschungen zum Umfeld des Hortes von Hajdúböszörmény (Ungarn) wird in diesem Artikel das Verhältnis von bronzezeitlichen Hortfunden und Siedlungen im Karpatenbecken untersucht. Detektorgestützte Untersuchungen in den letzten Jahren haben zu einer Aufdeckung von über dreißig neuen Hortfunden in der Region geführt, deren Lagebezüge und Befundung archäologisch dokumentiert werden konnte und hier vorgestellt werden. Dabei zeigt sich ein enger Zusammenhang von Metalldeponierungen und Siedlungen. Insbesondere das wiederholte Deponieren in befestigten Höhensiedlungen geschah offenbar regelhaft. Die Niederlegungen wurden sowohl über das Siedlungsareal verstreut vorgenommen, als auch auf bestimmte Bereiche beschränkt. Deponierungen, die direkt in Zusammenhang mit einzelnen Gebäuden stehen, sind hingegen selten.

description: Over the past two decades, sustainable consumption has garnered widespread attention from various stakeholders around the world such as the government, the general public, international organizations, researchers, and academia. Due to the effects of climate change, usage of scarce resources, global warming, and waste production, there's an urgent need to adopt sustainable practices for the well-being of the next generation (Ottman, 2011; Wei et al., 2017). Thus, nations across the world have started taking initiatives to lessen the harmful environmental practices associated with economic activities. This acknowledgment and awareness about the environment have led to the establishment of sustainable consumption which emphasizes sustainable practices that result in a lesser negative impact on the environment (Joshi et al., 2019). 
The term sustainable consumption refers to "the use of goods and services that respond to basic needs and bring a better quality of life while minimizing the use of natural resources, toxic materials, and emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle, so as not to jeopardize the needs of future generations" (Kongress Oslo, 1994). Notably, the essence of sustainable consumption alludes that whatever we purchase, consume, and dispose of, should not impact our environment in a way that the earth becomes uninhabitable for the generation to come because consumer choices not only have an impact on the current generation's but also on how well the future generation can meet its requirements (Lee, 2014). Since there has been a growing demand for sustainable products in the market, companies need to disclose information about the products as modern-day consumers are not only interested in the end product, but also in the sourcing, production, and distribution processes that bring it to market (Kirchoff et al., 2017). From different empirical studies, it has been found that a staggering 87% of consumers have become increasingly conscious of the social and environmental implications associated with a product (Bonini & Oppenheim, 2008). Besides, consumers make purchasing decisions based on the sustainability information of the product (Grunert et al., 2014; Marucheck et al., 2011). As a result, consumers' need for comprehensive product information related to production and the intricacies of the supply chain system has increased (Marucheck et al., 2011). Thus, it has become imperative for companies to maintain transparency across all stages of the supply chain.
Gabe und Erinnerung – Heiligtum und Opfer

description: In diesem Beitrag werden die Konzepte des Gabentauschs und des kollektiven Gedächtnisses für das Verständnis von Weihgaben und Votivdeponierungen diskutiert. Geben und Nehmen im Heiligtum war eingebettet in das Geben und Nehmen der Gesellschaft. Im Tausch zwischen Menschen und Göttern sind weder der Votant noch die Gottheit gänzlich frei, sondern haben sich an die Normen des Verfahrens zu halten. Die Teilnahme an diesem System präformierte zwangsläufig die Ausbildung des individuellen und des kollektiven Gedächtnisses der Votanten im Sinne einer Erfolgsgeschichte. Weihgaben waren daher ein flexibles und ungemein vielseitiges Medium der Kommunikation mit den Göttern, in dem nahezu alle Facetten der Gesellschaft abgebildet werden konnten.
Building a Digital Platform for Community Museums

description: The Legacies of Enslavement project in collaboration with the Elim and Pniël museums of South Africa, our community partners, aims to help small museums that showcase the heritage of South African mission stations display their legacies of enslavement to wider audiences and through more accessible means. The museums we collaborated with had minimal online presence or digital media to bring attention to the rich history of these South African towns. We analyzed sources for a comprehensive introduction to South African history focusing on its colonial legacies and the conquest of the land by European powers that created a capitalist nation entrenched with settler interests that still pervade the country today. We also analyzed works on museums as agents for social change in order to begin building a framework for how our online tools can empower the local communities we’re working with and give a voice to the residents, and especially the curators. Using this information and the help of the museum curators we created StoryMaps as online tools that include a history of the towns as mission stations, insight into the community now, a gallery showcasing the museums’ contents, and samples from interviews we conducted with the curators. This project sought to enrich a preceding larger effort, the Museum of South African Museums, which is a tool that includes access points and information on museums all across South Africa. We hope this platform will serve as a template for other community museums in the future to facilitate the creation of more accessible platforms for other museums that have little or no government funding.

description: In presenting philological readings of spatial metaphors in ancient texts and their reception based on theoretical approaches to metaphor, this is a pioneering study which also bears testimony to the increasing interest in the potential and cognitive functions of metaphor in literary studies. The individual studies offer a representative synopsis of current theories on spatial metaphors and encompass applications to literary texts from a number of genres and languages ranging from wisdom texts and philosophical treatises to tragedy and from Ancient Egyptian to Shakespearean English, thus spanning almost 3000 years of human thought and language. Based on this framework of theory and practice, this volume collects a series of papers originally delivered at a conference entitled Raum-Metaphern in antiken Texten und deren Rezeption, organized by research group (C-2) Space and Metaphor in Cognition, Language and Texts of the Excellence Cluster 264 Topoi — The Formation and Transformation of Space and Knowledge in Ancient Civilizations in Berlin in June 2014.

“For to Have Fallen Is Not a Grievous Thing, but to Remain Prostrate after Falling, and Not to Get up Again.” The Persuasive Force of Spatial Metaphors in Chrysostom’s Exhortation to Theodore
Creators: name: Stenger, Jan
Publisher: name: Edition Topoi
Year: 2016

description: Metaphern, insbesondere solche, die auf den Raum als Bildspender zurückgreifen, sind ein Hauptcharakteristikum der Redekunst des Kirchenvaters Johannes Chrysostomos (ca. 349–407). Da er ein versierter Redner mit einer Vorliebe für bildliche Sprache war, untersucht der vorliegende Beitrag, wie räumliche Metaphern zum Erreichen der persuasiven Ziele des Chrysostomos beitragen. Im Rückgriff auf die kognitive Metaphertheorie wird der Traktat An Theodor analysiert, wobei die erkenntnistheoretischen und paränetischen Funktionen, die konzeptuelle Metaphern erfüllen, in den Blick genommen werden. Die Besonderheit des Metaphergebrauchs des Chrysostomos besteht darin, dass er sein Publikum in metaphorische Szenarien, die er in seiner visuellen Rhetorik entwirft, einbezieht, um seine Leser dazu zu bringen, ihre Einstellungen und Verhalten zu überprüfen. Damit versucht er, eine praktische Reaktion auf die gegenwärtige Situation hervorzurufen.

description: The effect of curvature and how it induces and enhances the transport of colloidal particles driven through narrow channels represent an unexplored research avenue. Here we combine experiments and simulations to investigate the dynamics of magnetically driven colloidal particles confined through a narrow, circular channel. We use an external precessing magnetic field to induce a net torque and spin the particles at a defined angular velocity. Due to the spinning, the particle propulsion emerges from the different hydrodynamic coupling with the inner and outer walls and strongly depends on the curvature. The experimental findings are combined with finite element numerical simulations that predict a positive rotation translation coupling in the mobility matrix. Further, we explore the collective transport of many particles across the curved geometry, making an experimental realization of a driven single file system. With our finding, we elucidate the effect of curvature on the transport of microscopic particles which could be important to understand the complex, yet rich, dynamics of particle systems driven through curved microfluidic channels.
