The City as a Score: Dialoguing with the Ex-Ghetto Ebraico of Bologna through Museum Research and Choreographic Practice
Creators: name: Garzarella, Silvia
name: Marks Mininsohn, Sarah
Publisher: name: Mimesis Journal
Year: 2024

description: This study, written collaboratively by a choreographer and a dance scholar, shifts between theoretical and practical discussion to explore the ex-ghetto ebraico di Bologna as an urban space of exchange. With embodiment as a foundational concept, our research encompasses archival and danced-based exploration, at the Museo Ebraico di Bologna and within the dance studio, resulting in a choreographic work. Rather than absolutely confining, the borders of the ghetto have been considered spaces of negotiation, involving exchange between inside and outside, private and public, and Catholic and Jewish aspects of city life. In discussing this process, we integrate broader cultural studies frameworks on maps and borders, examining the city's ‘body’ as a choreographic score in itself and the museum’s  documentation center as a means to reactivate it. From the use of contact improvisation technique, to the joint creation of the musical score, to the integration of multiple mapping strategies, each element of this choreographic work is influenced by exchange. The choice to write collaboratively also responds to this underlying theme. Through this study, we aim to contribute to wider discussions of how choreographic practice offers possibilities for understanding local histories and contemporary uses of urban space.

Re-enactment e Bildung: il caso etico de La reprise di Milo Rau
Creators: name: Vecchia, Andrea
Publisher: name: Mimesis Journal
Year: 2024

description: Considerato uno dei registi attualmente più provocatori, Milo Rau, direttore artistico del teatro NTGent, intellettuale attivista, ma pure sociologo politicamente impegnato ed esperto di giornalismo, è andato inserendosi nell’attuale difformità delle pratiche performative riconfigurando l’estetica teatrale a partire da quel “realismo globale” per cui «il teatro non è altro che un ritorno molto concreto a questa semplice lezione aristotelica: tutto ciò che consideriamo come reale non è che una convenzione sociale» (M. Rau). Dopo aver indagato i principi epistemologici sottesi alle procedure dei re-enactment che caratterizzano il teatro mondo di Rau – ridefinendo prassi e saperi che lo distanziano dalla forma teatrale del reality trend («Non si tratta della verità in senso tecnico, ma della verità della ‘ripetizione’ nel senso di Kierkegaard», afferma il regista) – l’intervento elegge a case study lo spettacolo La Reprise. Histoire(s) du théâtre (I) del 2018, in cui si ha la ricostruzione dell’assassinio a sfondo omofobo del trentenne belga di origine magrebina Ihsane Jarfi, avvenuto a Liegi nel 2012. Ripercorrendo il processo di scrittura legato allo spettacolo, ideato come una lotta contro i discorsi dominanti - concentrata sulla forculsione imposta dalla Legge sul soggetto – e analizzando le modalità di riconfigurazione signica del medium teatrale (il rapporto evento/documento, anche in relazione alla modellizzazione mediatica della performance), lo studio intende soffermarsi sull’interazione che il dispositivo de La reprise implica in relazione allo spettatore. Riflettendo sull’eredità ermeneutica che muove il pensiero di Butler (in particolare l’etica post-hegeliana del riconoscimento di Vite precarie) si proverà a comprendere come Rau insceni una scultura sociale in grado di mettere in discussione demarcazioni tra etica e politica, vita privata e sfera pubblica. La tematizzazione del principio di vulnerabilità del corpo, proiettato nell’eccedenza normativa della “temporalità sociale” e colto nella performatività dell’azione giuridica e morale, intende comprendere come La reprise metta in luce l’opaca (ir)responsabilità del soggetto spettatoriale, convocato in uno spazio pubblico che si fa agorà civile. Lontano da false ortopedie morali, la morte di Ihsane Jarfi può forse costituire l’avvio di un progetto educativo teatrale volto alla consapevolezza di una cittadinanza attiva dello spettatore.

“Sweet” Electrolytes: Sugar Alcohols as Electrolyte Component for Safer Aqueous Batteries

description: In the recent years lithium ion batteries (LIB) with aqueous electrolytes are gaining more attention in the field of stationary energy storage, especially the intermediary storage of renewable energies. The main advantage is the environmental friendliness and affordability of the solvent water, as well as the high safety due to the intrinsic non-flammability of aqueous electrolytes.So far concepts as “water-in-salt” electrolytes (WiSE) with high amounts of conducting salts are required in order to expand the electrochemical stability window (ESW) and allow the use of aqueous electrolytes in LIB. [1,2] In WiSE the water molecules are coordinated by the Li+ cations of the conducting salt and the high amounts of salt lead to a disruption of the continuous water network. [3] Alternative concepts to coordinate the water molecules while reducing the amount of the costly conducting salts in the electrolytes are of interest. Due to their hydrophilicity and high solubility in water polyols could be a material for the alternative concept. With the hydroxyl groups of the sugar alcohols, hydrogen bonds could be formed to the water molecules and disrupt the existing network. As such sugar alcohols are widely spread in the food industry as sugar substitutes and reduced-calorie sweeteners, they are affordable and non-toxic.Thermal analysis shows that the addition of sugar alcohols in aqueous electrolytes leads to an inhibition of water crystallization and thereby to an extended operating range up to -30 °C. Investigations via spectroscopic methods revealed that strong hydrogen bonds are still present between the water molecules and the cation is more coordinated to the sugar alcohols. By comparing the ESW determined by cyclic voltammetry measurements with and without sugar alcohols, the effect on water coordination is examined. The aim is to understand these correlations and the influence on the electrochemical performance for discovering alternative materials to capture water.[1] L. Suo et al., Science 350, 2015, 938.[2] H. Zhang et al., Angew. Chem. 133, 2021, 608.[3] Y. Zhang et al., J. Phys. Chem. B 2021, 125, 4501.

description: Il codice di procedura penale versa in uno stato di profonda crisi, sottoposto ad una costante erosione ad opera della giurisprudenza. C’è da chiedersi se si tratti di un fenomeno irreversibile; e, comunque, non è facile trovare dei rimedi, se si considera che ci troviamo in un’epoca in cui il potere legislativo nazionale si trova in grande difficoltà, in parte per demeriti propri e in parte per il portato della globalizzazione e della sempre crescente importanza delle fonti europee.

The Code of Criminal Procedure is in a state of deep crisis, subject to constant erosion by case-law. One wonders whether this is an irreversible phenomenon; and, in any case, it is not easy to find remedies, if we consider that we are in an era in which national legislative power is in great difficulty, partly due to its own demerits and partly due to the impact of globalisation and the ever-increasing importance of European law.

description: A complex of Cu(II) with a bidentate Schiff base, salicylaldehyde salicyloyl hydrazone (SSH), was synthesized by refluxing copper(II) chloride with this ligand. The formation of the complex, the nature of bonding, and the geometry of the complex were established via physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques. The composition of the complex was found to be a 1:2 metal-ligand ratio as Cu(SSH)2. Electronic absorption spectral studies revealed that the copper adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry upon complexation with SSH. The optical band energy for the complex was determined from absorption spectroscopy. The obtained band gap of 2.66 eV characterizes the complex as a semiconductor. The most stable conformations of the Schiff base (SSH) and Cu(SSH)2 complex have been computed, shedding light on their structural and electronic properties, and highlighting their potential reactivity and stability. The ligand exhibits a higher reactivity towards electrophiles, while the complex displays a greater affinity for nucleophiles. The in vitro antibacterial analysis with agar cup well method and in silico molecular docking analysis indicate that both the ligand and its complex with copper have potency to inhibit bacterial infections. Based on their growth inhibition, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values, and robust interaction with studied proteins of the pathogens, these compounds hold a prospective avenue for the advancement of antibiotics.

description: Some cancer types are auxotrophic for arginine and rely on delivery of this amino acid from extracellular sources. This cellular inferiority has been used to design selective anticancer therapy based on the enzymatic arginine depletion. However, deprivation of arginine as a single treatment was less effective in clinical trials than was expected. One of the approaches to improve anticancer efficacy of arginine deprivation is to simultaneously target signaling pathways that support cell survival upon the lack of arginine. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hypoxia signaling in arginine-deprived cancer cells.

For this purpose, human cancer cell lines were maintained in arginine-supplied or in arginine-deplete media. Hypoxic condition was mimic by addition of 0.1 and 0.2 mM cobalt (II) chloride (CoCl2) that protect HIF-1α from degradation.

It was shown that arginine starvation alone induced expression of VEGF-A, which allow us to hypothesize involvement of hypoxic signaling pathways in cell repose to the lack of arginine. We did not detect any significant impact of CoCl2 on mTOR signaling and unfolded protein response pathways in cells maintained in bouth conditions. Instead, CoCl2 inhibited p38-MAPK signaling pathway in cancer cells incubated in arginine-supplied medium. At the same time, additional exposure of the tested arginine-deprived cancer cells to CoCl2 did not further reduce cell viability and promote caspase-dependent apoptosis.

To sum up, the artificial enhancement of hypoxia did not increase cytotoxicity of arginine deprivation towards the tested human cancer cells, this approach demands further investigations.

description: Four new copper compounds of 2-amino-5-nitropyridine/pyridinium (5NAP/5NAPH) have been prepared and characterized: (5NAPH)2[CuBr4], 2; (d2-5NAPD)2[CuBr4], 2a; (5NAP)2CuCl2, 3; (5NAP)2CuBr2, 4. Compounds 2 and 2a are isomorphous and crystallize in the triclinic space group P-1. Packing is stabilized by hydrogen/deuterium bonds. Short Br…Br contacts provide potential magnetic superexchange pathways, but only very weak antiferromagnetic exchange is observed (J/kB∼-2 K). Compounds 3 and 4 are also isomorphous and crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/c. The molecules are linked into chains by bihalide bridges, and the chains linked into rectangular/square layers by short X…X. contacts. Variable temperature magnetic data were best fit by the S = ½ antiferromagnetic rectangular model for 3 (C = 0.429(1) emu-K/mol-Oe, J/kB = −9.38(6) K, J’/kB = −5.91(4) K). Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data for 4 were best fit by the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic square lattice model (C = 0.43(1) emu-K/mol-Oe, J/kB = −36.5(2) K).

 C o m m e n t: In the original description of Amarochara nepalica, PACE (2013) states that the species "è comparabile con A. umbrosa (ERICHSON, 1839) " (recte: ERICHSON, 1837) and that it is distinguished from this species by the different shape of the aedeagus. However, as can be inferred from the illustrations provided with the description (habitus, shape of the spermatheca, median lobe of the aedeagus; figures 18, 63-65), this species clearly does not belong to Amarochara, but most likely to Ocalea ERICHSON, 1837.

description: The solvothermal reaction of Ln(NO3)3•6H2O (Ln = Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, and Dy) with 9,10-bis(4-carboxylatopyridinium-1-methylene)anthracene dibromide (H2L)Br2 resulted in the formation of an isostructural series of lanthanide-based metal organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs), {[Nd(L)3/2(H2O)2]·(NO3)3·(S)}n (1), {[Sm(L)3/2(H2O)2]·(NO3)3·(S)}n (2), {[Eu(L)3/2(H2O)2]·(NO3)3·(S)}n (3), {[Tb(L)3/2(H2O)2]·(NO3)3·(S)}n (4) and {[Dy(L)3/2(H2O)2]·(NO3)3·(S)}n (5), where S denotes squeezed disordered solvent molecules and out of three nitrate ions in the voids, one nitrate is squeezed due to the high disorder. These MOFs were characterized with various techniques and single crystal X-ray analysis revealed a three dimensional (3D) (4,4,6)-connected metal organic framework with mononuclear metallic nodes in bicapped trigonal prismatic geometry. From the present series, we selected {[Sm(L)3/2(H2O)2]·(NO3)3·(S)}n (2) as a representative example for structural description and gas adsorption study whereas {[Dy(L)3/2(H2O)2]·(NO3)3·(S)}n (5) was used for the sensing of nitro compounds. All MOFs showed stability up to 200 °C. 2 demonstrates a higher CO2 uptake, despite exhibiting a low specific surface area (SABET) in N2 sorption studies. The sensing result shows that 5 act as selective sensors towards TNP with quenching efficiency greater than 99%.

description: Three complexes derived from a new functional nitronyl nitroxide ligand, [Ni(hfac)2(NIT-3-OMe-4PhPy)]2 (1), [Co(hfac)2(NIT-3-OMe-4PhPy)]2 (2), and [Cu(hfac)2(NIT-3-OMe-4PhPy)]2 (3) were synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically, where NIT-3-OMe-4PhPy stands for 2-[3-methoxy-4-(4-pyridinylmethoxy)phenyl]-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-imidazolyl-1-oxyl-3-oxide and hfac is hexafluoroacetylacetonate anion (hfac). Complexes 1–3 are isomorphous in which the NIT-3-OMe-4PhPy molecule acts as a bridging ligand linking two M(II) ions (M = Ni2+, Co2+, and Cu2+) through the nitrogen of pyridine and the oxygen of the nitroxide unit to form a rectangle-like centrosymmetric dimer. The magnetic behaviors of 1–3 were investigated. For 1, the nitronyl nitroxides and Ni(II) ions are strongly antiferromagnetically (AFM) coupled, yielding the intradimer magnetic exchange constant of J = −87.3 cm−1. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility for 2 in the T > 30 K region was simulated with a two-spin model with S1 = 3/2 and S2 = 1/2 because of depopulation of the higher energy Kramers doublets of the Co(II) centers and the interaction of Co(II)…O coordination bonding, leading to J = −18.6 cm−1, g = 2.16, and zj′ = −2.94 cm−1 for the magnetic interactions between Co(II) ions and nitronyl nitroxides through pyridine rings. The ferromagnetic interaction between Cu(II) ions and nitronyl nitroxide radicals was observed in 3 with J = 68.9 cm−1 and θ = 0.51 k.

description: A series of CoIII–LnIII–CoIII trinuclear complexes [Ln{Co(Hmtimn)3}2](NO3)3 were prepared by following a simple one-pot synthesis method, mixing an unsymmetrical bidentate ligand 2-(2-imidazolinyl)-6-methoxypheol (H2mtimn) with Co(NO3)2·6H2O and LnX3· 6H2O (where Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Gd or Dy and X = NO3− or Cl−) in methanolic solution in the presence of triethylamine in air. In the reaction mixture, this leads to the in situ formation of a tris-chelate CoIII metalloligand unit, which can coordinate LnIII ions through the interactions of phenolato- and methoxy-O donors. X-ray structural analysis revealed that the CoIII metalloligand functions as a rigid tripodal ligand to coordinate to a LnIII ion by six oxygen donors. The two metalloligands in the complex exhibit homochiral aggregation (ΔΔ or ΛΛ) upon coordination to the LnIII ion. The coordination of the central LnIII ion was found to be a distorted icosahedral geometry. Magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that both cobalt and central lanthanide ions exist in trivalent states.

description: Mononuclear copper(II) complex [Cu(DBDACH)2](ClO4)2 (1) was synthesized with a cyclohexane-1,2-diamine-based bidentate ligand, N,N’-dibenzyl 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DBDACH) and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The structure of the complex was determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis and shows a distorted square planar geometry around the copper center. DNA binding interactions were interrogated by UV-Vis spectroscopic titration, circular dichroism, and docking studies. These studies confirmed that the copper complex binds with CT-DNA through minor groove interactions and showed a good binding constant of Kb = 2.15 × 104 M−1. The catecholase-like activity of 1 was investigated with model substrate 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (3,5-DTBC) to corresponding 3,5-di-tert-butylquinone (3,5-DTBQ) using UV-Vis spectroscopy. The rate of this reaction is 0.89 × 10−3 s−1. The kinetic characteristics of 1 were determined through the Michaelis–Menten equation and a Lineweaver-Burk analysis, yielding Vmax (3.4 × 10−3 M s−1), kM (0.49 × 10−3 M), and kcat (1.45 × 10−2 s−1).

description: An extremely effective photocatalytic complex, PtLCl2 (1), was synthesized with (4-([2,2':6',2''-terpyridin]-4'-yl)phenyl)boronic acid as ligand and further characterized through single crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-vis spectrum. Multipoint hydrogen bonds and three kinds of π-π stacking interactions are observed in the supramolecular structure of 1. More significantly, the Pt(II) complex exhibits outstanding photocatalytic degradation efficiency (94.76%) for methyl orange within 120 min under visible light irradiation. The kinetic rate constant (k) for 1 (10 mg) is 0.02505 min−1, which is approximately 70 times higher than that of the ligand (0.00036 min−1). Moreover, its photocatalysis mechanism proposed that ·O2− and h+ were the main active species for MO degradation, providing a great prospect for development of a new efficient photocatalytic complex.

description: An unsymmetrical Mn(II) Schiff base complex was attached to MCM-41. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms, inductivity coupled plasma (ICP), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The immobilized Schiff base complex was an efficient catalyst for oxidation of sulfides with hydrogen peroxide. In addition, this green oxidation system was used to oxidize various sulfides and the results showed that sulfoxides were the major products. Finally, the reuse of the catalyst was also investigated

description: Der Beitrag setzt sich mit Texten auseinander, die von Rainald Goetz geschrieben wurden oder ihn im TV zeigen. Ihr Ansatz liegt in der Verarbeitung der Barthes’schen Autorschaftsmodelle sowie der von Leslie A. Fiedler geforderten Erneuerung des Romanciers und der radikalen Veränderung des gedruckten Buches. Die semiotische Analyse von Subito, Dekonspiratione und Abfall für Alle verdeutlicht im Zusammenhang mit der Untersuchung ausgewählter audio-visueller Beispiele zunächst ein Modell von Autorschaft, das an die Perspektive von Wahrnehmung gebunden ist. Des Weiteren fokussieren vor allem die jüngeren der untersuchten Beispiele eine Erweiterung der Funktion des Schriftstellers hinsichtlich seiner Eigenschaften als Kritiker zweiter Ordnung.

description: Activation of N2 to ammonia occurs in nitrogenases at an unusual carbide-iron-sulfur active site. To deconvolute the factors that allow the nitrogenase Fe to bind N2, we have recently reported a density functional theory (DFT) study on a series of Fe(H2O)nR(N2) complexes, Fe(0)/Fe(I)/Fe(II)/Fe(III), and R = H2O, HO−, CH22−, or H2S. Reported here are computations on Mn and Co complexes in settings and with methodology identical to those previously employed for the related Fe systems in order to compare the ability of these metals to activate N2. None of the Co(II) and Co(III) models form clear bonds with N2; Co(0) and Co(I) do form such bonds but are not known to be possible (at least not in settings with available coordination positions) in biological systems. Mn(0) and Mn(I) are also found to efficiently bind and activate N2; however, neither are known in biological systems. Mn(II), especially with a methylene ligand, appears able to form a weak metal-dinitrogen bond. However, considering that Fe(I) systems but not Mn(I) systems are known in biological inorganic centers, and considering that Fe(I)/Mn(I) do bind/activate N2 more efficiently than Fe(II)/Mn(II), iron may be argued to be the better choice for a nitrogenase active site.

description: A family of oxygen coordinated dichlorido-bridged n-X-2-pyridone (1, n = 3, X = Cl; 2, n = 3, X = Br; 3, n = 4, X = Cl; 4, n = 4, X = Br; 5, n = 5, X = Cl; 6, n = 5, X = Br) Cu(II) offset stacked dimer compounds, denoted molecular spin stairs, have been prepared and analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (1–4), powder X-ray diffraction (1–6), and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements (1–6). Ferromagnetism is dominant in all compounds with a weaker antiferromagnetic exchange present in 1–4. The ferromagnetic exchange correlates to increased twist angles which are defined by the extent of the tetrahedral distortion of the copper coordination sphere and the identity of the halogen on the ring. The compounds were qualitatively fit to a ferromagnetic Heisenberg chain model with a Curie-Weiss interchain correction. The general Hamiltonian used is of the form  H=−J∑S1S2. The ratio of exchange energies denoted α (α=JFM|JAFM|) ranges between 2.6 and 4.7. This family of compounds constitutes possible S = ½ Haldane-like materials.
