description: ABSTRACTLarge amounts of veterinary medicines are widely used as therapeutic drugs and feed additives (growth promoters) in China, the environmental presence of which possibly poses challenges to the environment and human health. Therefore, it is important to list the veterinary medicines that are considered to be of relatively high priority in China for environmental management. In this study, a three-stage prioritization scheme was applied to veterinary medicines in China. In Stage I, exposure assessment was conducted based on usage amounts and the possibility of entering the environment. In Stage II, the ecotoxicity and human health effects of compounds having a high potential to enter the environment were assessed. In Stage III, considering both the results of Stages I and II, veterinary medicines were assigned into four priority classifications. Using the approach, 38 compounds were assigned to “H,” 7 compounds to “M,” 2 compounds to “L,” and 22 compounds to “VL.” Among the top-ranked compounds, antibiotics, endoparasiticides, and aquacultural medicines accounted for 57.9%, 28.9%, and 10.5%, respectively. Insecticides used widely in China's aquaculture need to be taken into account due to their high priority rank. This is the first study on the prioritization of veterinary pharmaceuticals in China.
Virtual Catastrophe: The Ecologically-Oriented Ethics of Jeff Noon’s Pollen

description: Jeff Noon's “Vurt” novels—Vurt, Pollen, Automated Alice, and Nymphomation—occupy an unusual niche within the science fiction subgenre of cyberpunk. Typically, cyberpunk texts are set in near-future dystopian worlds, which are dominated by advanced virtual technologies and powerful corporations, and against this backdrop the skilled computer hacker uncovers conspiracies (often for financial profit). While Noon’s “Vurt” novels certainly include these broad aspects of cyberpunk, their execution of this “formula” differs from the typical cyberpunk mould. In these novels, the action is restricted to Manchester rather than the more cyberpunk-esque urban sprawl settings of North America or Japan, their featured “vurt” technology has an organic rather than mechanistic basis, and, furthermore, they are about “looking reality in the face” rather than fleeing the messiness of the material world to the sterile safety of cyberspace.

description: We performed an umbrella meta-analysis to explore the factors that influence the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. We systematically searched three databases (PubMed, Web of Science and Embase) up to 20 February 2023. Extracting the effect size and 95% confidence intervals for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and the objective response rate (ORR). A total of 65 articles were included. We identified the following factors that benefit ICI therapy: smoking status (PFS: 0.72 [0.62, 0.84], p < .001), chemotherapy (PFS: 0.68 [0.58, 0.79], p < .001), expression of programmed cell death ligand 1(PD-L1) (≥1%, ≥5%, or ≥10%) (≥1%: 0.76 [0.71,0.82], p < .001; ≥5%: 0.62 [0.52, 0.74], p < .001; ≥10%: 0.42 [0.30, 0.59], p < .001). We also identified three adverse factors: epidermal growth factor receptor mutations (OS: 1.57 [1.06, 2.32], p = .02), with liver metastases (OS: 1.16 [1.02,1.32], p = .02) and antibiotics (OS: 3.13 [1.25,7.84], p < .001; PFS: 2.54 [1.38, 4.68], p = .003). The results of this umbrella meta-analysis first supported pre-existing understandings of the relationship between beneficial and adverse factors with the efficacy of ICI therapy. In addition, the overexpression of PD-L1 may adversely affect patients.

Executive coaching as the differentiating patterning of power
Creators: name: Lee-Clarke, Andrew
Publisher: name: University of Hertfordshire
Year: 2003

description: Executive Coaching is now widely applied in organisations to bring about improvements in performance through individual focussed development. Coaches work with their clients to agree outcomes for their work together and then use their skills in a structured conversation to bring about change. The change they write of is an unfolding of the limitless human potential that resides within each of us, which is accessed by removing obstacles or interferences. The view that I present in this portfolio is significantly different to this predominant thinking and makes an important contribution to the practice of coaching, as a coach, client or line manager. I see the change that can happen in coaching, or indeed in any conversation, as occurring as movements of power. Patterns of power-relating, I argue, differentiate individual and collective identities. Coaching then, is the patterning of power-relating that has the potential for further differentiating and so transforming the identities of all those involved in the coaching process. I perceive power as ongoing patterns that paradoxically form and are formed by the processes of relating between human bodies. I argue that the complex patterning of power, that enables and constrains the actions of each person, creates identity. Identity is therefore a socially created phenomenon, simultaneously forming and being formed by the processes of relating. The differentiating patterning of power transforms identity through changes in our experience of inclusion and exclusion. From this perspective, the change that occurs in coaching assumes transformative causality instead of the dual rationalist and formative causalities that underpin the predominant approaches to executive coaching. This portfolio explores the nature of change in organisations, focussing more intensely, in each paper, on conversations as organisational change, culminating in the exploration of executive coaching as conversations initiated to create change. Through the methodology of participative inquiry, this research provides a way of understanding executive coaching that is informed by the concept of complex responsive processes and the sociology of Norbert Elias rather that the humanistic and cognitive psychologies that are at the root of the work of most executive coaching.

Introduction: Pastoral Echoes in the Forest of Literary History

description: In classical Latin, silua (“forest”) is a figure for literary history. The echoes in this forest are in turn figures for reception—the handing down and reworking of literary material. We decided on “Pastoral Echoes” as the title for this special section of Colloquy because “echoes” evokes the kind of spatio-temporal relations we see in the essays collected here. While echoes have a source they are not continuous with that source; they have a peculiarly disjunctive relation to their origin, which implies a particular time and space, but which cannot necessarily be inferred from the echoes themselves. Here seven literary critics and one poet speak the word “pastoral” into the forest of literary history, producing vastly different echoes from the same word. That the concept of pastoral preserves the semblance of unity despite its myriad translations across time and space is, we believe, aptly described by the echo. Accordingly, all these essays are written with a concern for both the similarities and the differences that relate and disjoin their respective texts to and from the history of pastoral literature.

description: What use is pastoral in contemporary criticism? In the lengthening perspective of our distance (cultural and temporal) from the classical worlds of Theocritus and Virgil, has pastoral become synonymous with nature writing, or any other writing that praises a life in the country over that lived in the city? Or does the term today suggest something else, something looser: pastoral not as a set of motifs and conventions, but as a particular way of thinking through or structuring human experience—a “take” on life, rather in the way that tragedy and comedy represent certain takes on life and on those factors deemed most important in it: love, death, our capacity for freedom, and so on. If the latter is true, then pastoral is much broader in scope than might once have been imagined; yet it is also perhaps finer, keener in its insights and offerings than its traditional trappings—shepherds, mournful love songs, idyllic landscapes—might suggest. The answer, of course, is that pastoral is whatever you make of it. If such a statement rings true of all literary genres, it seems particularly pertinent to this one. As this article will show, pastoral is a mode that has continually meditated on the question of what we, as human beings, “make of things”; how we negotiate the conditions of our finitude, certainly, but also the question of the importance to this process of that other form of making: poesis, poetry.

description: The effects of polymer flocculants on coagulation/flocculation-microfiltration of two surface waters were investigated in terms of turbidity, dissolved organic matter concentration and molecular characteristics. The results showed that all polymers studied improved the dissolved organic carbon removal by polyaluminum chloride coagulation, but only cationic polymers improved UV254 removal. High performance size exclusion chromatography analyses showed that cationic polymers slightly increased removal of small UV absorbing matters in the molecular weight range of 1100 to 4000 Da compared to 4000–9000 Da by polyaluminum chloride only. These impacts have significant implications in the membrane fouling potential and permeate water quality of the pretreated water.
Establishing realistic performance measurements for customer relationship management in the SME context
Creators: name: Pinnington, Siriphan
Publisher: name: University of Hertfordshire
Year: 2007

description: This research reviews aspects. of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) literature. It examines, in particular, the area of CRM performance measurement. The main objective of this research is to develop a business-orientated measurement tool for the assessment of CRM performance. The research context is set within the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) across the United Kingdom. Although the literature review showed that there are both successfulÃ‚Â· and unsuccessful cases of CRM performance, the research highlighted a significant issue concerning CRM performance measurement. It was found that many companies are unable to quantify their performance claims. Additionally, there is little or no strong evidence that companies measure their CRM performance, it is therefore questionable in regard to the justification of reported cases of CRM success and failure. Further literature evidence on the area of existing CRM performance measurement tools was critically reviewed. Overall the evidence points to the need for a simplified and realistic measurement tool that is based on what CRM user companies are actually doing or capable of doing regarding the assessment of CRM performance. Research methodological approaches undertaken were hierarchical in their nature. Two stages of empirical work were conducted: questionnaire survey and semistructured interviews. The questionnaire survey covered the scope of 2,200 SMEs across the United Kingdom. The survey aimed to identify Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) ,adopted by companies and to also create a profile of CRM companies for the next phase of research. The interview stage aimed to gain insight into CRM performance measurement in order to aid the development of a practical and business-orientated CRM performance measurement framework. There were 26 self-selected CRM user companies involved at the interview stage. Results from the quantitative analysis of survey data revealed a number of KPIs adopted by companies including the profile of CRM users. The qualitativeÃ‚Â· and quantitative analyses of interview data allowed a CRM performance measurement framework to be derived and developed. The main findings suggested that companies should focus primarily on assessing the process rather than putting the entire focus only on the final outcome or bottom line (i.e. financial outcome). The close relationship between the process and outcome measures implied that the effective assessment ofprocess would result in the effective outcome. There were also other outcomes relevant to the research such as issues with CRM market forecasts, issues with existing CRM measurement tools and extreme views on CRM. In regard to the ways they assess their CRM, one of the interesting findings of this research revealed that CRM user companies who view CRM from a customer perspective enabled by technology perspective appear to be more successful than those who view CRM solely from a strategy perspective.
CWASI: A WebAssembly Runtime Shim for Inter-function Communication in the Serverless Edge-Cloud Continuum

description: Serverless Computing brings advantages to the Edge-Cloud continuum, like simplified programming and infrastructure management. In composed workflows, where serverless functions need to exchange data constantly, serverless platforms rely on remote services such as object storage and key-value stores as a common approach to exchange data. In WebAssembly, functions leverage WebAssembly System Interface to connect to the network and exchange data via remote services. As a consequence, co-located serverless functions need remote services to exchange data, increasing latency and adding network overhead. To mitigate this problem, in this paper, we introduce CWASI: a WebAssembly OCI-compliant runtime shim that determines the best inter-function data exchange approach based on the serverless function locality. CWASI introduces a three-mode communication model for the Serverless Edge-Cloud continuum. This communication model enables CWASI Shim to optimize inter-function communication for co-located functions by leveraging the function host mechanisms. Experimental results show that CWASI reduces the communication latency between the co-located serverless functions by up to 95% and increases the communication throughput by up to 30x.

Building Tension: Gothic Rhythm and Pastoral Imperfection in Hardy’s Poetry

subject: FOS: Languages and literature

description: “Mr. Hardy has never written with flowing rhythms,” wrote an anonymous reviewer of Poems of the Past and the Present (1901), “his verse often halts, or dances in hobnails.” Contemporary criticism of Thomas Hardy’s poetry is littered with references to his “woodenness of rhythm,” “technical inexpertness,” “clumsy metres,” and “lack of metrical finish.” His poetry is described as “slovenly, slipshod,” and “uncouth,” “poorly conceived and worse wrought.” Referring to poems in Hardy’s first collection, Wessex Poems (1898), one critic laments, “were the form equal to the matter, they would be poetry.” It was in reaction to this kind of criticism that Hardy wrote in the Life, “there was … as regards form, the inevitable ascription to ignorance of what was really choice after full knowledge.” In an attempt to show that his poetry was not simply the sudden and undoubtedly shortlived whim of an established novelist, Hardy states that “[y]ears earlier he had decided that too regular a beat was bad art.”His explanation draws upon his years of training and experience as an architect, which, according to Linda Shires, “was not merely a preliminary career but an important crucible for much of his art and labour to come.”
Patterns of construing and post-traumatic stress disorder
Creators: name: Sermpezis, Christos
Publisher: name: University of Hertfordshire
Year: 2007

description: Four studies were conducted in order to investigate the way people construe their most stressful and traumatic experiences. Personal constl1,lct theory was the main theoretical approach used in all studies but the thesis also drew upon social const~ctionist perspectives. In study one, a clinical sample of people diagnosed with PTSD (n = 36) was tested using repertory grids and questionnaires. The study tested the viability of the personal construct model of PTSD (Sewell et aI, 1996). Results did not support the model and a new personal construct model was proposed. In study two, an investigation into a number of methodological issues relating to the hierarchical-classes analysis (HICbAS), as applied to PTSD conceptualizations within the personal construct model, was conducted. Results revealed that its use in the analysis of repertory grid data was based on flawed assumptions. Corrective suggestions were proposed and the TUCKER-HICLAS software was introduced in order to improve the analysis of repertory grid data. In study three, a student sample (n = 114) was divided into groups according to some personality traits (high/low anxiety, repression, dissociatIon, thought suppression). The students completed repertory grids using as elements life events, including the most stressful event of their lives, and consequently their patterns of construing these events were compared between them as well as with the patterns found among the PTSD ' , patients from Study One. Results were counterintuitive in the sense that it was found that the low anxious group was the most similar to the PTSD group. A model based on the concepts of anticipation and epistemic control was proposed to account for the findings. In study four, an asylum seeker and refugee sample (n = 5) diagnosed with PTSD was interviewed and asked to complete repertory grids. Results showed that this population tends to construe their traumas in terms of constructs expressing social relations rather than psychological states, as commonly found among non-refugee people. Central to their construing of trauma was found to be the concept of 'limbo'. The psychosocial effects of limbo were explored through the anthropological concept of liminality. It was propose'd that issues of functionality should be incorporated into the diagnosis and treatment of trauma among asylum seekers and refugees as well as the general population.

description: Chemical investigation of the ethanol extract from the whole plant Liparis odorata (Willd.) Lindl (orchid family) has led to the isolation of three new phenolic glycosides named liparisglycoside A–C (1–3) along with six known compounds (4–9). The structures of compounds were elucidated by means of extensive spectroscopic data analysis and comparison with the literature data. In addition, compounds 3 and 9 revealed inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated nitric oxide production, and compounds 1, 3 and 9 displayed hypolipidaemic effects in in vitro bioassays.

description: The chemical decontamination of infected dental implants is essential for the successful treatment of peri-implantitis. The aim of this study was to assess the antibacterial effect of a hydrogen peroxide-titanium dioxide (H2O2–TiO2) suspension against Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms. Titanium (Ti) coins were inoculated with a bioluminescent S. epidermidis strain for 8 h and subsequently exposed to H2O2 with and without TiO2 nanoparticles or chlorhexidine (CHX). Bacterial regrowth, bacterial load and viability after decontamination were analyzed by continuous luminescence monitoring, live/dead staining and scanning electron microscopy. Bacterial regrowth was delayed on surfaces treated with H2O2–TiO2 compared to H2O2. H2O2-based treatments resulted in a lower bacterial load compared to CHX. Few viable bacteria were found on surfaces treated with H2O2 and H2O2–TiO2, which contrasted with a uniform layer of dead bacteria for surfaces treated with CHX. H2O2–TiO2 suspensions could therefore be considered an alternative approach in the decontamination of dental implants.
Competitive awareness: Accounting for corporate performance in the Europe 170
Creators: name: Andersson, Tord
Publisher: name: University of Hertfordshire
Year: 2006

description: The objective ofthe research is to reinstate value added accounting in a capital market context to judge corporate performance and corporate strategy. The thesis uses a value added format to deconstruct return on capital employed (ROCE) and reviews how income percolates down a value added statement to the bottom line. As expenses are collected by their 'nature' this approach avoids the arbitrariness associated with categorising expenses by 'function'. In addition corporate performance is presented in a pyramid structure offmancial key ratios which enables the .addition ofa capit.al market dimension, an important consideration when fIrms and their managers are under pressUre to I deliver shareholder value. The framework is used to construct a dataset offIrms listed in the main European stock . . market indices (FTSElOO, CAC40 and DAX30), to make similarities and differences of / . fmancial ratios visible at the macro, meso and micro level. As such it is possible to judge' performance and managerial priorities as well as position individual fIrms, as done in the case study, into a quintile distribu~ion. The case study also reviews strategic narratives for the case fIrms and make a more detailed fmancial analysis th.an possible for the Europe 170, which makes visible the strength of aligning'narratives with numbers. The contribution to knowledge, besides the dataset itself, is related to the usefulness ofthe value added accounting format in relation to capital markets by: Ã‚Â• Revealing a complementary set ofvalue drivers to that existing in fmance theory by using a nature of expense format. Suggesting an 'accounting theory of the firm' by integrating the industry and,the resource based view ofstrategy with shareholder value metrics. The integration ofaccounting numbers and strategic narratives enables feedback mechanisms for the reformulation ofstrategy. Keywords: Value added statement, nature of expense IFRS value drivers, theory of the firm, strategic management accounting.
Pat Barker’s Double Vision: Vulnerability and Trauma in the Pastoral Mode

subject: FOS: Languages and literature

description: The September 11, 2001 (9/11) terrorist attacks on the USA are commonly understood to have unsettled the West’s sense of its own global dominance and generated a collective feeling of vulnerability, a situation which has led critics2 of Pat Barker’s Double Vision (2003) to read this post-9/11 novel as a response to that seismic shift in power relations. Even if the attacks appear only as a flashback in the novel, they manage to cast a shadow over the various depictions of violence, survival, and witnessing which occupy its narrative. In this way Double Vision introduces a new subject into Barker’s writing while amplifying an existing theme. Namely, her longrunning novelistic study of trauma, which circulates as the creative lifeblood to her Booker Prize-winning Regeneration trilogy (1991-1995), continues to sustain the narratives of Double Vision.

All the compounds show 3-D supramolecular networks constructed from weak interactions among free Ni(II) complex, water, and oxygens of [P2Mo5O23]6−. Compound 3 represents the first supramolecular example integrating {Ni(bim)(Hbim)(phen)} with Strandberg-type phosphomolybdate. The compounds display good electrocatalytic activity to reduce hydrogen peroxide and intense fluorescence properties in solution at room temperature.
As confissões de S. Agostinho: retóricas da fé
Creators: name: Rosa, José M. Silva
Publisher: name: Didaskalia
Year: 2007

description: Como é que a verdade da fé, sem se trair, pode ser formulada no espaço público de outras palavras concorrentes? Nesta condição agórica e agónica a convicção do fiel (fides qua) e a sua expressão comunicável (fides quae) têm de passar a mais dura das provas: inscrever-se no espaço não da verdade, mas da verosimilhança; não da realidade, mas da aparência; não do dogma, mas da dóxa. As Confissões de Agostinho de Hipona são uma das expressões mais bem conseguidas desta voluntária inscrição da fé no espaço plural da retórica. Consciente do carácter bífido da palavra, o próprio Agostinho confessa ter sido “um vendedor de palavras”; os oradores profissionais e seus aprendizes não passam de “vendedores e compradores de gramática”. Mas ao distinguir a “retórica ao serviço do erro e da mentira”, pura “feira de tagarelices”, da “retórica ao serviço da verdade”, Agostinho reconduz a retória ao lugar neutro de organon e aceita inscrever as razões da existência crente no espaço da persuasão e da verosimilhança, pois não basta à verdade ser verdadeira: importa que o pareça, que seja verosímil. Assim, a verdade íntima da palavra de fé pode e deve ser dita com eloquência e beleza, de tal modo “que ensine, que deleite, que comova”. E o resultado desta crítica retórica da retórica é a obra ímpar Confissões e suas inúmeras mises en scène adentro do ‘teatro do eu’, em busca de si e de Deus, pelos “vastos palácios da memória”. Mas é justamente aí que são denunciadas as pretensões idolátricas de anexar Deus às “experiências do eu”.

description: The humble Midwestern town also survives on modesty and a range of satellite sentiments and postures, depending very much on them in Garrison Keillor’s 1985 book Lake Wobegon Days. It is, firmly, a work of pastoral—a literary representation of social, emotional, and aesthetic dualities and tensions in the frame, or in mind, of rural or regional place. Its vital and interesting connection to this mode depends, critically, on its not being the work of blandly sentimentalist affirmation or sugared “nostalgia for the simple life” that mode is commonly seen as. Structurally, too, it is more complicatedly a somewhat loose or meandering assemblage than a novel, organised—such as it is—variously by the seasons, the growth of its narrating figures, and progression through the town’s semi-factual history.

description: A partir do tema recorrente em muitos dos novos movimentos religiosos – a figura de Jesus e a sua relação com o cosmos – procura-se reflectir sobre o Cristo cósmico. Quem é o Cristo cósmico? Será diferente do Cristo da Incarnação? Virá substituir o presépio de Belém, a cruz do Gólgota e o túmulo vazio? Jesus Cristo, Deus feito homem ou Deus feito cosmos? O que fazer com um Cristo cósmico? Será Ele o Cristo da era da “religião da saída da religião” (Marcel Gauchet), ou o Cristo da “dessecularização” (Peter Berger)? Uma nova incarnação de Deus? Um novo paradigma? Um desejo cósmico do ser humano? O presente estudo visa reequacionar este questionamento à luz da apresentação e análise crítica de dois estudos, não convergentes, sobre o Cristo cósmico, desenvolvidos por dois pensadores, que marcaram a segunda metade do século XX – o jesuíta francês Teilhard de Chardin e o dominicano americano Matthew Fox.

description: Pd(II) complexes with imidazole linked to dithiocarbamate derivatives were synthesized by reacting 1-(alkyldithiocarbonyl)-imidazoles with PdCl2 in a 2 : 1 molar ratio. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, and 1H NMR. The single crystal structure of 4 shows that the ligand is chelated by nitrogens in imidazole, instead of sulfur, to palladium. All synthesized compounds were tested for in vitro anticancer activities. Compound 5 had better activities in the HL-60 cell line and twofold better activities in the HeLa cell line than that of cisplatin.

description: A frequência e a intensidade com que Paulo recorre à linguagem afectiva mostram um dos seus modelos típicos de configuração da evkklhsi,a e revelam, ao mesmo tempo, um contexto polémico: aquelas assembleias que o apóstolo criou não tinham laços familiares, mas pretendiam ser uma só família e uma só casa, mantendo outras características semelhantes à de uma organização pública. Esta ambiguidade detecta-se bem nos próprios espaços de reunião, que tinham tanto traços privados como públicos. Procuraremos iluminar tal ambiguidade suportados por critérios referentes aos espaços domésticos e à diferenta entre privado e público. E veremos, por fim, como estes critérios emergem na Primeira Carta de Paulo aos Coríntios nos dois sentidos: reflectindo a ambiguidade e procurando uma maior dimensão pública e política para a evkklhsi,a.

Les Voyages de Paul vus a travers les déplacements dans l’antiquité

description: Para compreender as condições em que Paulo se deslocava, é necessário confrontar o Livro dos Actos e as Cartas de Paulo com o conhecimento que temos do Mundo Antigo (suas instituições, cultura, meios de transporte…); estes trazem ao texto um esclarecimento, muitas vezes, inesperado. Há que tomar em conta o contributo da arqueologia, e nomeadamente da arqueologia naval que nos fornece um saber acerca das embarcações, trajectos e portos, bem como das actividades marítimas e comerciais da Bacia do Mediterrâneo, no século Iº da nossa era. É útil, por fim, confrontar as Cartas de Paulo e os Actos com outras Fontes escritas, sejam os romances gregos, latinos ou outros textos da literatura antiga, especialmente as obras de geógrafos, que fornecem um testemunho sobre os itinerários e as condições gerais da mobilidade.

description: Two rare-earth metal coordination compounds, (NH4)4[SmIII2(Httha)2]·16H2O (1) (H6ttha = triethylenetetramine-N,N,N′,N′′,N′′′,N′′′-hexaacetic acid) and (NH4)4[SmIII2(dtpa)2]·10H2O (2) (H5dtpa = diethylenetriamine-N,N,N′,N′′,N′′-pentaacetic acid), have been synthesized through reflux and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. SmIII of (NH4)4[SmIII2(Httha)2]·16H2O (1) is nine-coordinate, forming tricapped trigonal prismatic coordination with three amine nitrogens and six oxygens, in which four oxygens are from one ttha and two from the other ttha. (NH4)4[SmIII2(Httha)2]·16H2O (1) crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with P2(1)/c space group. The crystal data are: a = 13.9340(13) Å, b = 22.890(3) Å, c = 20.708(2) (14) Å, β = 99.521(2)°, and V = 6513.7(13) Å3. There are two –NH+– groups in the [SmIII2(Httha)2]4−. The polymeric (NH4)4[SmIII2(dtpa)2]·10H2O (2) also is nine-coordinate with tricapped trigonal prismatic conformation and crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system with P–1 space group. The cell dimensions are: a = 9.8240(8) Å, b = 10.0329(9) Å, c = 13.0941(11) Å, β = 77.1640(10)°, and V = 1227.30(18) Å3. In (NH4)4[SmIII2(dtpa)2]·10H2O, there are two types of ammonium cations, which connect [SmIII2(dtpa)2]4− and lattice water through hydrogen bonds, leading to a 2-D ladder-like layer structure.

description: This paper argues that cultural appropriation can – but does not always – constitute a human rights incompatibility precluding a classification as intangible cultural heritage (ICH) pursuant to Art. 2(1) Sentence 3 of the Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (CSICH). To set up this argument, the paper first addresses whether and in how far the human rights compatibility test is exercised in the realm of the CSICH. Subsequently, it seeks to analyse whether cultural appropriation violates that test. To this end, the paper first develops an understanding of cultural appropriation informed by insights ranging from philosophy to anthropology. It then raises the question in how far cultural appropriation and protection therefrom is covered by the IHRL canon, most importantly the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. Using Berlin Techno as an example, the aim of this contribution is to reveal the limits of cultural appropriation in the legal field and to initiate a legally sound discussion on the relationship between culture, appropriation, and human rights that has thus far been absent.
