description: Die Landwirtschaft und das Landleben befinden sich aufgrund von Stadt-Land-Migration und zunehmender Landkonzentration, angetrieben durch steigende Bodenpreise, im Wandel. Die Auswirkungen des globalen Trends auf Europa, insbesondere Ostdeutschland, wird in dieser Arbeit analysiert. Die soziale Dimension des Landerwerbs, eine Forschungslücke, rückt dabei in den Fokus. Zentrale Forschungsmethoden waren eine Literaturrecherche und eine Fallstudie in Sachsen-Anhalt, bestehend aus Interviews mit 16 ortsansässigen Landwirten und einer Befragung von 130 ländlichen Einwohnern. Die Datenanalyse wurde mittels Inhaltsanalyse und einem Strukturgleichungsmodell durchgeführt. Das Modell bestätigt eine Korrelation zwischen der Siedlungsdichte ortsansässiger Landwirte und der Beziehung der Einwohner zur Landwirtschaft, die wiederum die Bindung an den ländlichen Raum beeinflusst. Die Ergebnisse belegen, dass Landerwerb unter bestimmten Umständen negative Folgen für die ländliche Bevölkerung haben kann.
description: Agriculture as well as rural life are in a process of change due to rural-urban migration and an increasing land concentration fueled by rising land prices. The effects of this global trend on Europe, especially East Germany, are analyzed. The social perspective on land acquisitions is addressed and corresponds to an identified research gap. Central research methods were a literature review and a case study in Saxony Anhalt, consisting of interviews with 16 resident farmers and a survey with 130 respondents of the rural population. The data analysis was composed of content analysis and a Structural Equation Model. The Model confirms a correlation between density of resident farmers and inhabitants’ relationship to agriculture, which then influences rural place attachment. The results support that land acquisitions can have negative consequences for rural population if this means fewer resident farmers. These insights can be useful for political discussions about revising German land law.

description: In health care settings, cytotoxic drugs are utilized for the treatment of various conditions such as cancer and arthritis. The properties of these products make them powerful drugs that have the capacity to elicit toxic effects indiscriminately on a variety of cell types and in some cases can cause cancer and adverse reproductive outcomes. Health care workers can be exposed to these products through dermal absorption, ingestion or inhalation. There are presently no occupational exposure limits for these products, but WorkSafeBC Regulations, the British Columbia Cancer Agency and United States Pharmacopeia 797 standards guide best practices for working safely with these products The goals of this thesis research were to evaluate current practices and to propose occupational hygiene controls to reduce exposure to cytotoxic drugs in hospital pharmacy personnel. The research was conducted in five iterative parts: 1. An environmental assessment of selected hospital pharmacies was conducted to determine presence of cytotoxic pharmaceuticals on work surfaces, and to examine factors related to presence of workplace contamination. 2. A questionnaire was developed to assess hospital pharmacy perception of cytotoxic agents, their level of training and education, and their use of personal protective equipment. 3. Focus group sessions with pharmacy personnel were conducted to obtain feedback on information collected in the first two phases of research, to identify barriers to safe working practices, and to help propose safety initiatives. 4.Safetyinitiativesweredesigned,pilottestedandevaluatedbyemployeesbasedon information obtained in parts 1 through 3 above. 5. A second worksite assessment was performed to evaluate controls to reduce exposure to cytotoxic agents. This is the first study in Canada aimed at assessing and proposing controls to reduce occupational exposure to cytotoxic drugs in acute care hospital pharmacies utilizing a strategy that included multiple methods and employee engagement to enhance a traditional occupational hygiene paradigm evaluation.
The Decolonization of the Digital World and Practical Theology

description: Digital processes developed an enormous power to shape social and individual live because they are able to convert all aspects of reality into digital formats, to connect them, to collect an immense amount of data worldwide and to create complex instruments of technical control and have the potential to transform the world in a new way. This can be interpreted from the point of view of coloniality and de-coloniality. Digitalization opens access to nearly all human knowledge. Social players, governments and economic companies use the potential of cyberspace for their own interest. Artificial intelligence, self-learning systems in medicine, care, autonomous locomotion up to autonomous weapon systems can decide independent from direct human control. Practical theology is challenged to research the influence of digitalization in social and individual life, to identify their colonizing effects, to face the ethical problems, to defend ethical standards and basic human rights. The contribution will describe de colonizing effects of digitalization and identify strategies of de-colonization from the ethical point of view of practical theology.

description: A single-layer graphene is synthesized on Cu foil in the absence of H2 flow by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). In lieu of an explicit H2 flow, hydrogen species are produced during methane decomposition process into their active species (CHx<4), assisted by the plasma. Notably, the early stage of growth depends strongly on the plasma power. The resulting grain size (the nucleation density) has a maximum (minimum) at 50 W and saturates when the plasma power is higher than 120 W because hydrogen partial pressures are effectively tuned by a simple control of the plasma power. Raman spectroscopy and transport measurements show that decomposed methane alone can provide sufficient amount of hydrogen species for high-quality graphene synthesis by PECVD.

description: We consider weakly coupled LQ optimal control problems and derive estimates on the sensitivity of the optimal value function in dependence of the coupling strength. In order to improve these sensitivity estimates a "coupling adapted" norm is proposed. Our main result is that if a weak coupling suffices to destabilize the closed loop system with the optimal feedback of the uncoupled system then the value function might change drastically with the coupling. As a consequence, it is not reasonable to expect that a weakly coupled system possesses a weakly coupled optimal value function. Also, for a known result on the connection of the separation operator and the stability radius a new and simpler proof is given.

description: Η παρούσα Διπλωματική Εργασία έχει ως κύριο σκοπό την επισκόπηση των συμβατικών αλλά κυρίως των εναλλακτικών καυσίμων της ναυτιλίας. Ειδικότερα, ολοένα και περισσότερα εναλλακτικά καύσιμα βρίσκονται στο προσκήνιο και αναπτύσσονται ταχέως κατά τα στάδια της έρευνας. Σύμφωνα με πρόσφατες μελέτες, η ναυτιλιακή βιομηχανία είναι υπεύθυνη για πάνω από το 85% του παγκόσμιου εμπορίου, ενώ ταυτόχρονα καταναλώνει το 2% της παγκόσμιας ενεργειακής ζήτησης ετησίως, συνεισφέροντας περίπου στο 3% των παγκόσμιων εκπομπών ρύπων. Σύμφωνα με τα παραπάνω, μπορεί κανείς να αντιληφθεί πως πρόκειται για μια από τις αποδοτικότερες ενεργειακά βιομηχανίες αλλά συνάμα και ιδιαίτερα επιβαρής στο περιβάλλον.
Ο Διεθνής Οργανισμός Ναυτιλίας (IMO), έχει θεσπίσει πως μέχρι το 2050 οι εκπομπές ρύπων του κλάδου πρέπει να έχουν μειωθεί κατά 50% σε σχέση με το έτος βάσης 2008. Ήδη, από την 1/1/2020 έχει τεθεί σε ισχύ ως ανώτατο όριο περιεκτικότητας σε θείο (sulphur cap) το 0.5% για τα ναυτιλιακά καύσιμα. Για να επιτευχθούν αυτοί οι στόχοι έχουν προταθεί διάφορες λύσεις, εκ των οποίων μερικές είναι: η μείωση ταχύτητας πλεύσης (slow steaming), η τοποθέτηση καταλυτών (scrubbers) και η χρήση ορυκτών καυσίμων χαμηλής περιεκτικότητας σε θείο (LSFO, MDO). Βέβαια, οι μακροπρόθεσμες μελέτες συμφωνούν στο ότι για να επιτευχθούν οι στόχοι του IMO, η ναυτιλία θα πρέπει να στραφεί σε νέα καύσιμα μηδενικών εκπομπών αερίων του θερμοκηπίου και άρα ρύπων.
Στα πλαίσια αυτά, η Διπλωματική Εργασία θα προσπαθήσει να κάνει μια επισκόπηση της τωρινής κατάστασης του ναυτιλιακού κλάδου αλλά και της συνεισφοράς του στο εμπόριο και την οικονομία, με έμφαση στον κλάδο της ακτοπλοΐας. Στη συνέχεια, θα γίνει μια επισκόπηση τόσο των τωρινών όσο και των υπό ανάπτυξη (ερευνητικών δραστηριοτήτων) ναυτιλιακών καυσίμων (υδρογόνο, μεθανόλη, βιοκαύσιμα κτλ). Έπειτα, θα γίνει μεταξύ τους σύγκριση σε τομείς όπως η θερμική απόδοση, η ασφάλεια και το δίκτυο διανομής. Τέλος, μια προκαταρκτική και συγκριτική μελέτη μεταξύ των προκρινόμενων καυσίμων και των επιδράσεων αυτών σε σχέση με την παρούσα κατάσταση λειτουργίας του Ε/Γ-Ο/Γ ΕΛΥΡΟΣ της ANEK LINES (case study), θα δείξει τι εμπόδια αλλά και τι οφέλη μπορεί να προκύψουν, με την παραδοχή πως οι κινητήρες θα λειτουργούν στην ίδια βάση για τα επιλεγμένα καύσιμα (στροφές, θερμικός βαθμός απόδοσης, κατανάλωση, σταθερή τιμή καυσίμου με το 2ο τρίμηνο του 2021).

description: Researchers of the TAO Research Programs and the Centre de Recherche sur le Travail et le Développement (Research Center on Work and Development) at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, Paris, illustrate critical reflections on education and training. These collected papers, stemming from different disciplinary frameworks and approaches, share the theoretical work and the epistemological orientation. With particular reference to the teachings of Weber, Vygotskij and Bakhtin, they focus on learning, conceived as social action, on the development of learning activity, and on the development of thought in professional dialogues. Along this line, the idea according to which education and training realize the “transmission” of knowledge, capacity, competence, values, practices, gestures, etc., is questioned and discussed.
The 'Regularity Singularity' at Points of General Relativistic Shock Wave Interaction
Creators: name: Reintjes, Moritz
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A proof that a new kind of non-removable {\it "regularity singularity"} forms when two shock waves collide within the theory of General Relativity, was first announced in ProcRoySoc A \cite{ReintjesTemple}. In the present paper we give complete proofs of the claims in \cite{ReintjesTemple} and extend the results on the regularity of the Einstein curvature tensor to the full Riemann curvature tensor. The main result is that, in a neighborhood of a point where two shock waves collide in a spherically symmetric spacetime, the gravitational metric tensor cannot be lifted from C0,1 to C1 within the class of C1,1 coordinate transformations. This contrasts Israel's celebrated theorem \cite{Israel}, which states that around each point on a {\it single} shock surface there exist a coordinate system in which the metric is C1,1 regular. Moreover, at points of shock wave interaction, delta function sources exist in the second derivatives of the gravitational metric tensor in all coordinate systems of the C1,1-atlas, but due to cancellation, the Einstein and Riemann curvature tensor remain sup-norm bounded. We conclude that points of shock wave interaction are a new kind of spacetime singularity, (which we name "regularity singularity"), singularities that can form from the evolution of smooth initial data for perfect fluids and that lie in physical spacetime, but at such points {\it locally inertial} coordinates fail to exist.
description: This article has been withdrawn since the main result is wrong due to an computational error. See arXiv:1409.5060 for a correction of this error and a proof of the opposite statement. This article has been withdrawn, since the main result and conclusion of this paper are wrong due to an arithmetic error. This error is corrected in arXiv:1409.5060, where we in fact prove an result opposite to the incorrect one in this paper. Namely, we give a constructive proof that there exist coordinate transformations which raise the regularity of the gravitational metric tensor from $C^{0,1}$ to $C^{1,1}$ in a neighbourhood of points of shock wave interaction, between shocks from different families. The result in arXiv:1409.5060 thus shows that regularity singularities do not exist at such points of shock interaction, contradicting the wrong result here

description: This volume introduces a conception of work as a process of personal growth and development. Three fundamental moments of passage are discussed, in which the life and work connection becomes evident: the transition from education to work, the daily relationship between work and extra-work life, the evaluations in the workplace upon which the career paths depend. Critical reflections about mainstream theories, methodologies and practices are suggested. Examples and case studies illustrate their limitations and negative consequences. Finally, alternative organizational choices aimed at improving the work situations and facilitating, in the workplace, the development and well-being of people, are proposed.

description: Conscious and especially unconscious God-representations play an important role in the development of the individual's psyche. God-representations can be the agents of colonialization. They make the individual consent to their own oppression. In the case of Deborah Feldman, they are part of the restricting context in the ultra-orthodox community where she grew up. But another God-representation helped her to find a way out of this suppressive system. In all of this struggles the body was a the place where the different God-representations showed their weight and meaning. Finally, Deborah had to decide in which God-representation she wanted to trust.

Publisher: name: International Academy of Practical Theology. Conference Series
Year: 2021

description: This chapter explores the work of decolonial scholar Arturo Escobar in his volume Sentipensar con la tierra for its potential to enrich liberating liturgical approaches. Three characteristics of liberating liturgy are specifically explored: how it lifts up the concrete everyday experience of the people, how it is community based, and how it is transformative. These characteristics are shown to intersect with a decolonial theological approach and can be understood along the lines of sentipensar, as a tangible example of living, doing, and feeling actualized through the religious experiences and expressions of the people. The chapter concludes with the examination of the hymn, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" as a brief case study.

description: Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv) ist der Erreger der bakteriellen Fleckenkrankheit in Paprika und Tomate. Typ III Effektorproteine werden direkt in das Zytoplasma der Pflanzenzellen übertragen und tragen dort auf vielfältige Weise zur Virulenz des Pathogens bei. Diese Arbeit gibt erste Einblicke in die Funktion einiger Effektoren aus Xcv. XopG, eine putative Zink-Metallo-Protease mit Homologie zu Botulinumtoxin, wird abhängig von Kernlokalisierung und Zink-Bindemotiv in einigen Solanaceen erkannt. Als pflanzlicher Interaktionspartner wurde ein RNA-Bindeprotein mit einem RRM (RNA recognition motif) isoliert. XopH, eine Tyrosinphosphatase, kann langsamen Zelltod unterdrücken. XopB greift wahrscheinlich in einen konservierten Signalweg der Abwehr ein, da es Zelltodreaktionen verschiedener Elicitoren auf unterschiedlichen Pflanzen unterdrücken kann. XopB agiert im ER und/oder Golgi-Apparat, weshalb eine Funktion bei der Proteinsekretion vermutet werden kann.
description: Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv) is the causal agent of bacterial spot disease in pepper and tomato. Type III effectors are directly translocated into the plant cell cytoplasm and thus contribute to pathogen virulence in different ways. This work provides first insights in the function of some Xcv effectors. XopG, a putative zinc metalloprotease with homology to botulinum toxin, is recognized in solanaceous plants dependent of its nuclear localization and zinc binding motif. As a plant interacting protein an RNA binding protein with a RRM (RNA recognition motif) was isolated. XopH, a tyrosine phosphatase is able to suppress a slow-developing cell death. XopB seems to interfere with a conserved defense signal cascade since it is able to suppress cell death reactions of different elicitors on different plant species. XopB acts in the ER and/or Golgi apparatus thus an interference with protein secretion can be hypothesized.
Direct cost of osteoarthritis in Canada : an application of microsimulation modeling with uncertainty analysis
Creators: name: Sharif, Behnam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Introduction: While OA is a debilitating disease with an immense economic burden on the Canadian society, there is a lack of understanding about OA’s direct costs and its future trend in Canada. Objectives: The overall goal of this thesis is to illustrate the application of population-based disease microsimulation (PDMS) modeling in estimating the economic burden of a disease by performing the direct cost analyses for osteoarthritis (OA) using Population Health Microsimulation Model for OA (POHEM-OA). Specific objectives were: 1) To estimate the average direct costs of OA from 2003 to 2010 in Canada; 2) To estimate the future direct cost of OA from 2010 to 2031 in Canada; 3) to estimate the uncertainty around the prevalence and total cost of OA in future years. Methods: I used administrative health data from the province of British Columbia (BC), Canada, a survey of a random sample of BC residents diagnosed with OA (Ministry of Health of BC data), Canadian Institute of Health Information (CIHI) cost data and literature estimates to perform a bottom-up cost of illness (COI) study for OA. I then implemented the results of the COI study into POHEM-OA and constructed cost profiles for each individual. Finally, I developed a framework and adapted an ANOVA-based approach for performing uncertainty analysis (UA) for OA outcomes. Results: I showed that the average cost increased from $735 to $811 between 2003 and 2010 (in 2010 $CAD). From 2010 to 2031, while the prevalence of OA increases from 13.8% to 18.6%, the total direct cost of OA is projected to increase from $2.9 billion (95% uncertainty interval (UI): $2.4-$3.1 billion), to $7.6 billion ($6.2-$9.1 billion), an almost 2.6-fold increase (in 2010 $CAD). From the highest to the lowest, the cost components that will constitute the total direct cost of OA in 2031 are hospitalization cost, outpatient services, drugs, and out-of-pocket cost categories. Conclusions: By further developing a PDMS model of OA, I were able to project trends in the cost of OA and identify the key cost drivers, while predicting significant shifts in distribution of cost in the future.
Der Einfluss des p0071 Proteins auf die Zellpolarität

Subjects: subject: 571

description: Für die Ausbildung der Zellpolarität sind u. a. Zell-Zell-Kontakte, der intrazelluläre Vesikeltransport und die Organisation des Zytoskeletts von Bedeutung. In den vergangenen Jahren konnte für p0071 eine Beteiligung an den aufgeführten Aspekten nachgewiesen werden, doch blieb der genaue Einfluss von p0071 auf die Zellpolarität bisher ungeklärt. Die vorliegende Arbeit belegt nun, dass p0071 einen Einfluss auf die Ausbildung der apikal-basolateralen Zellpolarität in Caco-2 Zellen besitzt. So verringert ein stabiler p0071 Knockdown in dieser Zelllinie die Membranlokalisation von Zellkontaktproteinen und damit die interzelluläre Adhäsion. Zudem ist die Lumenbildung in der 3D Zellkultivierung gestört und der Anteil an Zellen mit multipolaren mitotischen Spindeln erhöht. Es wurden auch vergleichende Studien zwischen p0071 und dem verwandten p120 Catenin durchgeführt, die zeigen, dass die stabilisierende Funktion von p120 auf die klassischen Cadherine nicht auf p0071 in murinen und humanen Keratinozyten übertragbar ist. Ein ebenfalls durchgeführter Yeast Two Hybrid Screen identifizierte Komponenten des COPII-Komplexes als putative Interaktionspartner für den C-Terminus von p0071.
description: For the formation of cell polarity are among others cell-cell contacts, the intracellular vesicle transport and the organization of the cytoskeleton important. In the last years it was found that p0071 plays a role within the mentioned aspects, however the exact influence of p0071 on cell polarity remained elusive. The present work shows now that p0071 has an influence on the formation of the apical-basolateral cell polarity in Caco-2 cells. A stable p0071 knockdown in this cell line reduces the membrane localization of cell contact proteins and the intercellular adhesion. In addition, 3D cell culture experiments revealed a disturbance in lumen formation as well as an increase of cells with multipolar mitotic spindles. There were also carried out comparative studies between p0071 and the related p120 catenin, showing that the stabilizing function of p120 on the classic cadherins is not transferable to p0071 in murine and human keratinocytes. Moreover, a performed yeast two hybrid screen identified components of the COPII complex as putative interaction partners for the C-terminus of p0071.

description: Pre-Lie (or Vinberg) algebras arise from flat and torsion-free connections on differential manifolds. They have been studied extensively in recent years, both from algebraic operadic points of view and through numerous applications in numerical analysis, control theory, stochastic differential equations and renormalization. Butcher series are formal power series founded on pre-Lie algebras, used in numerical analysis to study geometric properties of flows on euclidean spaces. Motivated by the analysis of flows on manifolds and homogeneous spaces, we investigate algebras arising from flat connections with constant torsion, leading to the definition of post-Lie algebras, a generalization of pre-Lie algebras. Whereas pre-Lie algebras are intimately associated with euclidean geometry, post-Lie algebras occur naturally in the differential geometry of homogeneous spaces, and are also closely related to Cartan's method of moving frames. Lie--Butcher series combine Butcher series with Lie series and are used to analyze flows on manifolds. In this paper we show that Lie--Butcher series are founded on post-Lie algebras. The functorial relations between post-Lie algebras and their enveloping algebras, called D-algebras, are explored. Furthermore, we develop new formulas for computations in free post-Lie algebras and D-algebras, based on recursions in a magma, and we show that Lie--Butcher series are related to invariants of curves described by moving frames.

Developing a competency framework for ministerial formation from a postcolonial perspective
Creators: name: Nell, Ian
Publisher: name: International Academy of Practical Theology. Conference Series
Year: 2021

description: Assessment of students for ministerial practice is traditionally done through assignments and oral examinations, which often only concentrate on the knowledge component and outcomes of the program. Assessing students in this way has mimicked a view of ministerial practitioners as intellectuals preaching over the heads of the congregants and not being in touch with the pastoral and contextual needs of the members and normally leads to a disjuncture between knowledge, practice, and context. Disjuncture of this nature signals a need for a broader set of competencies than simply working with and analyzing texts in theological education. Developing a set of competencies also responds to the reality that the practice of ministry takes place within a rich diversity of postcolonial settings and practices. The central research question of this study was therefore formulated as follows: What are the central ingredients for developing a competency framework for ministerial formation from a postcolonial perspective at a research-intensive university in South Africa? In answer to this question, this paper looks at the ways in which a competency framework can help to translate generic graduate attributes into a set of competencies that is specific to the field of ministerial training. Some empirical work shows evidence of a growing postcolonial awareness in the development of these competencies.

Subjects: L-LIN/12 Lingua e traduzione - Lingua inglese

description: When multilingual corpora are used in translation studies, it is usually assumed that they are either translated (parallel) or comparable, or both; and that their size and text composition are analogous. As general reference corpora become more widely available, it is inevitable that these too should be used to compare and contrast SL norms, thus extending the definition of comparability to include text collections whose size and content may vary considerably, and which are nevertheless considered representative of their languages. This paper addresses the contribution of comparable reference corpora to the identification of translation equivalence. Focusing in particular on native-speaker norms, it demonstrates how the effect of creative and idiosyncratic language can be identified and reproduced by the translator.

description: Die elektrochemische Reduktion der CH-aciden Nitrile Malonsäuredinitril, Diphenylacetonitril und o-Cyanophenylacetonitril liefert bei gleichzeitiger anodischer Kupfer- bzw. Zinkauflösung Nitrilmetallkomplexe. Zur Stabilisierung der elektrochemisch gebildeten Kupfer(I)-Ionen wurden Phosphane (PPh3, PBu3, PMePh2) als zusätzliche Liganden eingesetzt. Die Komplexe [Cu(Ph2CCN)(PPh3)3], [Cu(Ph2CCN)(PMePh2)3], [Cu(Ph2CCN)(PBu3)3], [Cu{C(H)CN(o-CN-C6H4)}(PPh3)2], [Zn{CH(CN)2}2] und [Zn(Ph2CCN)2] wurden in Gegenwart von Bu4NBF4 elektrochemisch synthetisiert, isoliert und mittels 1H-, 13C-, 31P- NMR- und IR-Spektroskopie sowie durch Elementaranalyse charakterisiert. Bei Verwendung von LiBF4 als Leitelektrolyt entstanden die Komplexe [Cu{NCC(H)CN}(PPh3)2] und [Cu(Ph2CCN)(PPh3)3], die ebenfalls isoliert wurden und deren Struktur 1H-, 13C-, 31P- NMR-, IR-spektroskopisch sowie durch Elementaranalyse ermittelt wurde. Die Komplexe wurden mit 1,10-Phenanthrolin umgesetzt und die Strukturen der entstehenden kristallinen Produkte wurden mittels RKSA aufgeklärt. Die RKSA zeigten, dass drei unterschiedliche Strukturtypen von Nitrilmetallkomplexen entstehen: ionogengebaute, keteniminartige und metallorganische Verbindungen. Die Struktur der Komplexe hängt von der Acidität der verwendeten Nitrile ab und wird durch das Leitelektrolyt-Kation beeinflusst.
description: The electrochemical reduction of CH-acidic nitriles (malonicdinitrile, diphenylacetonitrile and o-cyanophenylacetonitrile) with the simultaneous anodic copper or zinc dissolution led to the formation of nitrile metallocomplexes. Phosphanes (PPh3, PBu3 and PMePh2) were used for the stabilization of electrochemically obtained copper(I) ions. Complexes [Cu(Ph2CCN)(PPh3)3], [Cu(Ph2CCN)(PMePh2)3], [Cu(Ph2CCN)(PBu3)3], [Cu{C(H)CN(o-CN-C6H4)}(PPh3)2], [Zn{CH(CN)2}2] and [Zn(Ph2CCN)2] were electrochemically synthesized in the presence of Bu4NBF4. If LiBF4 was used as supporting electrolyte the complexes [Cu{NCC(H)CN}(PPh3)2] and [Cu(Ph2CCN)(PPh3)3] were formed. All mentioned substances were isolated and characterized by means of 1H, 13C, 31P NMR and IR spectroscopy and microanalysis. The following reaction of electrochemically synthesized complexes with phenanthroline leads to the formation of crystalline compounds. Molecular structures of phenanthroline complexes were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It was shown that 3 different kinds of nitrile metallocomplexes were formed: compounds with the ionic structure, ketenimine-type compounds and organometallic compound with Cu-C s -bond. The structures of the obtained compounds depend on the acidity of initial nitriles and were influenced by the cation of the supporting electrolyte.
Translating Text and Context: Translation Studies and Systemic Functional Linguistics. Vol. 1 Translation Theory. 2.ed.

description: This two-volume work has been conceived as a resource for graduate students of a course in Translation Studies, focused both on the main theoretical issues of the discipline and on the practical task of translating, in particular from English into Italian. Within a wide range of different contemporary approaches and methods, the purpose of Translating Text and Context is to offer a particular perspective on the theory and practice of translation, that of the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), which, we believe, can prove valuable for the study of a phenomenon that we consider “[...] a complex linguistic, socio-cultural and ideological practice” (Hatim & Munday 2004: 330). Volume 2 is expected to appear in early 2009.
On circuits and serial symmetric basis-exchange in matroids
Creators: name: Kotlar, Daniel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The way circuits, relative to a basis, are affected as a result of exchanging a basis element, is studied. As consequences, it is shown that three consecutive symmetric exchanges exist for any two bases of a matroid, and that a full serial symmetric exchange, of length at most 6, exists for any two bases of a matroid of rank 5. A new characterization of binary matroids, related to basis-exchange, is presented.
Air pollution exposure and subclinical health impacts in commuter cyclists
Creators: name: Cole, Christie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Background: Cycling is a form of active transportation, resulting in health benefits via increased physical activity. Less is known of traffic-related air pollution exposures and the resulting physiological responses experienced by urban commuter cyclists. The aim of this study was to measure systemic inflammation and lung function changes amongst cyclists by comparing responses between high and low- air pollution routes. Methods: Male and female participants (n = 38) rode an instrumented bicycle for approximately 1- hour along a Residential and a Downtown designated bicycle route in a randomized crossover trial during the summer and fall of 2010 and 2011. Heart rate, power output, location and particulate matter air pollution (PM₁₀, ₂₅, and ₁ and particle number concentration [PNC]) were measured at 6- second intervals during trials. Endothelial function [RHI], lung function, and blood measurements of C-reactive protein [CRP], Interleukin-6 [IL-6], and 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine [8-OHdG] were assessed within one hour pre- and post-trial. A subset of 23 participants each completed a post-ride cycle ergometer minute ventilation (V̇E) measurement to estimate air pollution intake, based on heart rate measurements. Results: Geometric mean (GM) PNC exposures and intakes were higher along the Downtown (GM exposure = 16 226 particles/cm³; intake = 4.54 x 10¹⁰ particles) compared to the Residential route (GM exposure = 10 011 particles/cm³; intake = 3.13 x 10¹⁰ particles). The mean V̇E cycling: rest ratio was 3.0. In linear mixed-effect regression models, post-cycling RHI was 22% lower following the Downtown route compared to the Residential route (RHI of -0.38, 95% CI of -0.75 to -0.02), but this was not associated with exposure or intake of measured air pollutants. IL-6 and 8-OHdG levels increased after cycling trials along the Downtown route, but no significant association was found with PNC exposure or intake in mixed effect models. Conclusions: Although air pollution exposures and intakes were higher along the Downtown route and RHI was significantly decreased following trials on this route, this decrease was not associated with air pollution exposure or intake. This suggests other drivers of systemic inflammation related to cycling on the Downtown route may have been responsible for the observed association.

description: In this article, we study the vector and axialvector $B_c$ mesons with the QCD sum rules, and make reasonable predictions for the masses and decay constants, then calculate the leptonic decay widths. The present predictions for the masses and decay constants can be confronted with the experimental data in the future. We can also take the masses and decay constants as basic input parameters and study other phenomenological quantities with the three-point vacuum correlation functions via the QCD sum rules.

description: Let $f_i\in C^{2+α}(S^1\setminus \{a_i,b_i\}), α>0, i=1,2$ be circle homeomorphisms with two break points $a_i,b_i$, i.e. discontinuities in the derivative $f_i$, with identical irrational rotation number $rho$ and $μ_1([a_1,b_1])= μ_2([a_2,b_2])$, where $μ_i$ are invariant measures of $f_i$. Suppose the products of the jump ratios of $Df_1$ and $Df_2$ do not coincide, i.e. $\frac{Df_1(a_1-0)}{Df_1(a_1+0)}\times \frac{Df_1(b_1-0)}{Df_1(b_1+0)}\neq \frac{Df_2(a_2-0)}{Df_2(a_2+0)}\times \frac{Df_2(b_2-0)}{Df_2(b_2+0)}$. Then the map $ψ$ conjugating $f_1$ and $f_2$ is a singular function, i.e. it is continuous on $S^1$, but $Dψ= 0$ a.e. with respect to Lebesgue measure

Sentipensando Latina/o/x Theoethics
Creators: name: Medina, Néstor
Publisher: name: International Academy of Practical Theology. Conference Series
Year: 2021

description: Taking the work of decolonial scholar Arturo Escobar, this article explores the notion of sentipensar (lit. thinking-feeling) and its possible intersections and implications for Latina/o/x theoethics. The concept sentipensar signals a different type of rationality by which people are able to account for their immediate environment, history, and identity. LatinaXo theoethics embodies its own kind of decolonial sentipensar beyond inherited Eurocentric intellectual frames. LatinaXo scholars ground theoethics in their daily experience of Lo cotidiano, by anchoring their construction of knowledge on Lo cultural, and by uncovering the violence of empire and colonization in their own ethno-bio-cultural mestizaje.

description: We present an extensive study of the Eulerian distribution on
the set of self evacuated involutions, namely, involutions corresponding to
standard Young tableaux that are fixed under the Sch¨utzenberger map. We
find some combinatorial properties for the generating polynomial of such distribution,
together with an explicit formula for its coefficients. Afterwards,
we carry out an analogous study for the subset of self evacuated involutions
without fixed points.
“Liberation Theology opted for the Poor, and the Poor opted for [Neo-]Pentecostalism”:
Creators: name: Cartledge, Mark J.
Publisher: name: International Academy of Practical Theology. Conference Series
Year: 2021

description: One of the most significant movements in the history of Christianity is Pentecostalism, and Brazil probably has the largest number of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians in the world. Pentecostalism is a global phenomenon and exhibits diversity of expression, depending on a combination of factors that include culture, ecclesial traditions, and localized beliefs and practices. Amid this religious diversity certain key ideas appear to be pervasive if not altogether universal. One of these key ideas is the so-called “prosperity gospel”, which refers to the belief that as part of the blessings of the kingdom of God believers have the right to expect both health and material benefit. One of the contradictions with this kind of religious expression is the fact that the people who appear to hold to this view most ardently are in fact the poor of Pentecostalism. Why is it the case the poorest of the poor hold on to a view that is often transmitted from the United States of America and appears to reflect the material aspirations associated with the “American dream” rather than the empirical realities of Latin American contexts? This paper seeks to illustrate how [Neo-]Pentecostals hold on to their belief in the “prosperity gospel”, identifying the key biblical text that is used in this hermeneutic, as well as the cultural practices that support its maintenance. From this analysis, questions are raised about what aspects might inform the so-called historic churches when seeking to negotiate their relationship with [Neo-]Pentecostals.

The meaningful act of remembrance

description: Abstract: In our post-colonial society, the time has come for a meaningful hermeneutical re-evaluation of everyday life experiences. This paper investigates the relationship between painful memories and the meaningful act of remembrance as a tool to guide people down the right path. The post-1994 South African context serves as an excellent backdrop as it does not allow for an over-simplification of the problematic praxis. The research problem is as follows: Could the act of remembrance possibly enable people to engage with painful memories while addressing the topic of decolonization? The research followed Dingemans’s visualization of a research project. The approach starts by considering the present situation, which is subject to analysis to reveal the reality of what is going on. This is followed by theological reflection to ask how the gospel should be heard in these circumstances to elucidate the path of Christian obedience. The reflection culminates in goals and the identification of resources. This in turn leads to action, which becomes the basis for further reflection, and so the hermeneutical cycle continues. This investigation was done from a practical-theological vantage point with due consideration of a number of important principles gleaned from recent research on this topic. The paper closes with liturgical perspectives on how remembrance could enable people to edit their memories. Remembrance can enable people to listen so that they learn that interrupting silences and creating opportunities of storey-telling could cultivate moments of remembrance. Such moments bring profound hope.

Year: 2021

description: Dieser Beitrag befasst sich mit dem Entwurf von dynamisch erweiterten Fehlerisolationsbeobachtern (FIOs). Dazu wird zunächst eine Methode zum Entwurf dynamischer Entkopplungsregler vorschlagen. Basierend auf der Dualität von Entkopplungsregelungen und Fehlerisolationsbeobachtern lässt sich hieraus ein Verfahren zum Entwurf von dynamischen Fehlerisolationsbeobachtern ableiten, welches gegenüber klassischen FIOs zusätzliche Freiheitsgrade bietet. Diese werden in diesem Beitrag dazu genutzt, die Robustheit bezüglich hochfrequenter Störungen zu verbessern.
