Arriving in the Future: The Utopia of Here and Now in the Work of Modern-Day Mystics From Eric Fromm to Eckhart Tolle

description: The great appeal of modern utopian and dystopian literature seems to be that it provides authors and readers with the liberty to engage in imaginative, playful reflection on the flow of time, and on where this flow might be taking us all. But appearances can be deceptive, we are told. Psycho- analysts rightly warn that authors' utopian imaginings most likely include projections of their own unique personal fears, hopes and other expectations upon the blank canvas of an unknown future. Social scientists and historians will tell us there is more to this determinism than individual projection. They rightly argue that people are always intricately interconnected, and that their personal outlook thus reflects the shared "social imaginary" of the culture, society and historical period in which they find themselves em- bedded. Therein lies the relevance of utopian writing for both the study of different cultures and historical epochs as well as their cultural and historical limitations. Together, psychological and social determinisms suggest that utopian literature is an interesting specimen for analysis, from which we may learn more about our specific psychological, cultural and historical conditioning but which fails to deliver us to a place beyond such conditioning. Indeed, such a perspective sheds doubt on our very capacity to fashion a future of our own design. I beg to differ. I argue that utopian writing contains an intrinsic element of creative insight which provides momentary glimpses of a future that is not anticipated but ours to create, and even more importantly (though perhaps also more rarely), a capacity for visionary experience that altogether escapes the limitations of psycho-social conditioning and the horizon of intellectual scrutiny. In order to illustrate this, I will be examining a special branch of utopianism which directly addresses the problem of conditioning and psycho-social determinism.

description: Nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-damo) is a recently discovered new microbial process performed by the Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera with an unusual intra-aerobic pathway, but there is no report about n-damo bacteria in marine environments. M. oxyfera-like sequences were successfully retrieved for the first time from both surface and subsurface ocean sediments of the South China Sea (SCS) using both 16S rRNA and pmoA genes as biomarkers and PCR amplification in this study. The majority of M. oxyfera-like 16S rRNA gene-based PCR amplified sequences from the SCS sediments formed a new group distinctively different from those detected in freshwater habitats and the information is consistent phylogenetically with those obtained from the pmoA gene. This study showed the existence of n-damo in ocean sediments and suggests that marine sediments harbor n-damo phylotypes different from those in the freshwater. This finding here expands our understanding on the distribution of n-damo bacteria to marine ecosystem and implies their potential contribution to the marine C and N cycling.

Towards a semiclassical understanding of chaotic single- and many-particle quantum dynamics at post-Heisenberg time scales

Subjects: subject: 530 Physik

description: Despite considerable progress during the past decades in devising a semiclassical theory for classically chaotic quantum systems a quantitative semiclassical understanding of their dynamics at late times (beyond the so-called Heisenberg time T_H) is still missing. This challenge, corresponding to resolving spectral structures on energy scales below the mean level spacing, is intimately related to the quest for semiclassically restoring unitary quantum evolution. Guided through insights for quantum graphs we devise a periodic-orbit resummation procedure for spectra of quantum chaotic systems invoking periodic-orbit self-encounters as the structuring element of a hierarchical phase space dynamics. Quantum unitarity is reflected in real-valued spectral determinants with zeros giving discrete energy levels. We propose a way to purely semiclassically construct such real spectral determinants based on two major underlying mechanisms. (i) Complementary contributions to the spectral determinant from regrouped pseudo-orbits of duration T < T_H and T_H − T are complex conjugate to each other. (ii) Contributions from long periodic orbits involving multiple traversals along shorter orbits cancel out. We furthermore discuss implications for interacting N-particle quantum systems with a chaotic classical large-N limit that have recently attracted particular interest in the context of many-body quantum chaos.

description: A new steroidal alkaloid, (20S,22R,24R)-24-ethyl-3-oxocholest-4-en-22-amino, named as nandsterine (1), together with 10 known alkaloids, palmatine (2), O-methylbulbocapnine (3), nantenine (4), dehydronantenine (5), glaucine (6), didehydroglaucine (7), dehydrocorydaline (8), jatrorrhizine (9), magnoflorine (10) and berberine (11), was isolated from the fruit of Nandina domestica Thunb. Their structures were elucidated by using spectroscopic methods as well as by comparing with the published data. Compound 1 was a new class of steroidal alkaloid isolated from the family Berberidaceae, meanwhile compounds 2, 3, 6–8 and 10 were obtained from N. domestica for the first time. Compound 1 exhibited cytotoxicity against HL-60 cells (human leukaemia) with IC50 values of 52.1 μM.

description: When the files of a once Secret Security Service are released to its subjects of observation, they also engender unprecedented acts of auto- biographical remembering. The fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification on 3 October 1990 have led to the opening of the Stasi files in 1992. Consequently, many former data subjects who access their records are then prompted to write file-based autobiographies as a response to their readings and the remembering processes triggered thereafter.

description: 2009 has seen the publication of a number of volumes which take stock of our nation's literary heritage, seeking to shape the mass of writing produced in Australia or by Australians into something approaching a national canon. Of course, canon-building exercises are as contestable as they are useful; indeed, they are arguably useful to the same extent that they call forth contestation of the authority they claim for themselves. Thus the most ambitious of these efforts, the Macquarie PEN Anthology of Australian Literature (Allen & Unwin, 2009), has recently come under fire from some of our cultural luminaries for its inclusion of documents that may be of historical interest, or reflect a currently fashionable political cause, but are of questionable literary value – a letter from Bennelong to Lord Sydney's steward requesting stockings and handkerchiefs being one example. The same criticism could hardly be made of Geoff Page's anthology, which betrays his decades of experience as a high-school English teacher in its disarmingly old-fashioned selection criteria: "The poem must be: a. emotion- ally moving (often with moral implications); or b. memorably entertaining" (13). This essentially revisits Horace's injunction that a poem should in- struct and delight, and it is the chief merit of this anthology that it does both.

description: Pleistocene dispersal dynamics played a major role in shaping the spatial patterns of biodiversity distribution. Still, growing evidence has unveiling the contribute of phenotypic trait variation in affecting dispersal dynamics and, in turn, the pattern of intraspecific genetic diversity. With this study, we contribute to the understanding of the genomic underpinnings of phenotypic integration in behavioral and physiological traits linked to the dispersal processes. To meet this aim, we generated the first brain de-novo transcriptome of a species showing marked behavioral and physiological differentiation across populations spanning its last Pleistocene re-colonization route, the Tyrrenhian tree frog Hyla sarda. In particular, we sequences the brain transcriptome of individuals from either source (Sardinia) and colonized (Corsica) areas, and showing phenotypic differentiation at multiple traits. Furthermore, we present a custom pipeline with novel transcriptome-specific algorithms for RNA-seq data analysis, a de-novo transcriptome assembly, its validation, and subsequent annotation.

description: Main paperAbstract

This paper challenges the conventional rotational basis of atmospheric vortex formation (e.g. hurricanes, cyclones, tornados), proposing that prime-harmonic chirality, not angular momentum alone, governs large-scale atmospheric flow structures. By applying the CODES framework (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems), we introduce a model wherein structured resonance across pressure gradients and environmental waveforms leads to coherent spiral emergence—phase-locked to prime-indexed attractor fields. Using PAS (Phase Alignment Score) and prime harmonic lattices, we offer falsifiable predictions across meteorology, fluid dynamics, and planetary systems.

description: The prescriptive-sounding title of this slim volume, combined with its stated aim to provide a comprehensive theory of myth (16), provide this reviewer with a double-edged problem, because form my reading the volume is both too ambitious and too limited at once. Too ambitious, because the very idea of a generic approach to the sprawling beast that is "myth," which could offer us a single approach that would work under any circumstance, reminds us of the limits to the structuralist approach, which looks for the common factors in any given version of a myth at the (potential) cost of local nuance, individual flavour, momentary meaning or particular environmental concerns. Myth survives and proliferates because it transcends any given specificity or analysis. The search for such a "skeleton key" can thereby become a dangerous reduction in a postmodern world where the universals and essentialisms redolent of a previous era are being consistently challenged by new ways of seeing, experiencing and knowing the world. And not ambitious enough, in the sense that Marderness's actual aim does not seek to take into account a wide variety of myth theory, but limits itself to creating a rapprochement between two thinkers whose contribution to twentieth century analysis of myth is both persistently potent and troublesome. In order to account for a range of diversity in the way myth communicates, Marderness seeks common ground between Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis of mythic symbol as a series of signs and Mircea Eliade's interpretations of the religious aspect to myth, which takes into account its narrative power but lacks the critical teeth to engage with the "journalistic" mode of myth, according to which myth stands as a falsehood.
Comparing major alkaloids of Fritillariae Hupehensis Bulbs (FHB) and congeneric plants by HPLC-ELSD and HPLC-ESI-MSn

description: In the study, the major alkaloids from Fritillariae Hupehensis Bulbs (FHB) have been analysed for the first time by the combined use of the following two methods: the simultaneous quantitation of three alkaloids by using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with evaporative light scattering detector (HPLC-ELSD) and the simultaneous characterisation of seven alkaloids by using HPLC coupled with electrospray ionisation-mass spectrometry analysers detection (HPLC-ESI-MSn). The other four congeneric species were compared by using the established method. Both correlation coefficients of similarity in chromatograms were calculated for quantitative expression of HPLC profiles. The results revealed that the chromatogram profile combining similarity evaluation could efficiently identify and distinguish FHB from other different origins of Fritillaria species. The established method was considered to be suitable for checking the genuine origin and quality control of FHB.

description: Those accustomed to Charles Bukowski's usual rant will find less of the offensive, misogynistic, bar-brawling alcoholism than usual here; but that doesn't mean it is entirely absent. A novel about the filming of the 1985 film Barfly, which starred Mickey Rourke in the days when he swaggered with a slanted, smart-aleck smile and hadn't yet undergone the transformation to boxing from which he recently returned (for The Wrestler, another fine performance) and Faye Dunaway. Bukowski, as he does in other works of "fiction," barely bothers concealing the inspiration behind his characters. Again he is Henry Chinaski, beaten down by the stupidities of human nature, but never beaten out of the game. The pseudonyms he chooses for others are sometimes merely slight changes of real names and usually the brief description gives the game away; hence we get characterisations of Sean Penn and Madonna, Norman Mailer, Francis Ford Coppola, David Lynch and Isobella Rossellini, and Helmut Newton amongst others. But whereas sleaze and shame are constitutional trademarks for Bukowski, you will not find the kind of kiss and tell gossip you might otherwise find when such fiction takes cover under false names. Bukowski simply wants to tell his story the way it is to him, the "bum that made good" as the media of the time made him out to be, or the scratch in the mud at the edge of madness writer who actually lived in Hollywood – the mean streets of East Hollywood, not the manicured sets of more upwardly mobile neighbourhoods, naturally – and wrote about the things he loved and hated, or just could stomach, amidst the foul reservoir of (self)deceit and hypocrisy he saw in the human race in general and in aspirational America in particular.

description: This study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity of oligomeric proanthocyanidin from Rhodiola rosea L. (OPCRR). The free radical-scavenging activities exhibited by OPCRR, as determined by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion (√) scavenging assays, were greater than that of vitamin C. The effects of OPCRR on the antioxidant enzymes activity and lipid peroxide content in vivo were evaluated through three observation biomarkers, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum, heart, liver and brain tissues in mice. The OPCRR significantly enhanced the SOD and GSH-Px activities, and reduced the MDA content in mice. These results indicated that the OPCRR has a great potential to be a natural antioxidant due to its considerable antioxidant activities in vitro and in vivo.

description: Three-dimensional topological insulators are a class of Dirac materials, wherein strong spin-orbit coupling leads to two-dimensional surface states. The latter feature spin-momentum locking, i.e., each momentum vector is associated with a spin locked perpendicularly to it in the surface plane. While the principal spin generation capability of topological insulators is well established, comparatively little is known about the interaction of the spins with external stimuli like polarized light. We observe a helical, bias-dependent photoconductance at the lateral edges of topological Bi2Te2Se platelets for perpendicular incidence of light. The same edges exhibit also a finite bias-dependent Kerr angle, indicative of spin accumulation induced by a transversal spin Hall effect in the bulk states of the Bi2Te2Se platelets. A symmetry analysis shows that the helical photoconductance is distinct to common longitudinal photoconductance and photocurrent phenomena, but consistent with optically injected spins being transported in the side facets of the platelets.

description: Teaching World Literature is a compendium of sorts, comprising an introduction by the editor David Damrosch, with five sections on differing aspects of the problem ñ how to teach a world of literature when the canon keeps on opening up to new markets, genres and even traditions, and how to do so in the increasingly pressured humanities departments of today's universities. Each section addresses part of this challenge and while the book is designed to help teachers collate, develop and present such courses, providing answers to some of the issues that will inevitably arise along the way, it is not written as a guide or manual; the authors tells their own story of their experiences in an engaging and conversational manner.

description: Cucurbitacin C, a bitter substance in Cucumis sativus L., was isolated from green leaves by using phytochemical methods. An analytical method using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was established for the quantification of cucurbitacin C in different parts of the cucumber plant at different growth periods. Cucurbitacin C was detected in the leaves and stems but not in the female flowers, fruits, roots and leafstalks. The level of cucurbitacin C decreased significantly with the process of young leaves turning old. A new compound named 23,24-dihydrocucurbitacin C, regarded as the next metabolite of cucurbitacin C, was determined unambiguously by HPLC-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance.

description: The Nazi inheritance of the greats of German literature has many disturbing implications. Probably the most troubling is the question of cultural culpability. What exactly does it mean when the Nazis claim to see their ideas embodied in classic works? How far can this be dismissed as wilful misappropriation, or how much credence should we give the suspicion that somehow the author sanctions such an interpretation, that there is something fascist latent within the work to begin with?
Hölderlin did not escape the ignominy of Nazi adulation. However, as Robert Savage notes in his authoritative study Hölderlin after the Catastrophe: Heidegger – Adorno – Brecht, there was a whitewash of the poet's wartime record by the mainstream scholarship after the conflict. The nationalist misuse of Hölderlin was considered to be an external imposition, thus freeing him of any responsibility, and allowing for the work of interpretation to continue "as if nothing had happened."

description: High-strength steel fasteners characterized by tensile strengths above 1100 MPa are often used in critical applications where a failure can have catastrophic consequences. Preventing hydrogen embrittlement (HE) failure is a fundamental concern implicating the entire fastener supply chain. Research is typically conducted under idealized conditions that cannot be translated into know-how prescribed in fastener industry standards and practices. Additionally, inconsistencies and even contradictions in fastener industry standards have led to much confusion and many preventable or misdiagnosed fastener failures. HE susceptibility is a function of the material condition, which is comprehensively described by the metallurgical and mechanical properties. Material strength has a first-order effect on HE susceptibility which increases significantly above 1 200 MPa and is characterized by a ductile-brittle transition. For a given concentration of hydrogen and at equal strength, the critical strength above which the ductile-brittle transition begins can vary due to second-order effects of chemistry, tempering temperature and sub-microstructure. Additionally, non-homogeneity of the metallurgical structure resulting from poorly controlled heat treatment, impurities and non-metallic inclusions can increase HE susceptibility of steel in ways that are measurable but unpredictable. Below 1200 MPa, non-conforming quality is often the root cause of real-life failures. This article is part of the themed issue ‘The challenges of hydrogen and metals’.
Ökonomisches Denken im Sozial- und Gesundheitswesen – wie kann das funktionieren? Evaluation des kontinuierlichen Verbesserungsprozesses in der Luzerner Psychiatrie lups – Eine qualitative Erhebung in den kinder- und jugendpsychiatrischen Diensten in Kriens

description: Viele Institutionen im Sozial- und Gesundheitswesen sehen sich in der heutigen Zeit mit der Diskrepanz zwischen steigenden Qualitätsanforderungen und gleichzeitigem Spardruck konfrontiert. So hat sich auch die Luzerner Psychiatrie «lups» das Ziel gesetzt, diese Herausforderungen anzugehen. Sie bemüht sich um eine Qualitätssteigerung auf der Ebene des gesamten Unternehmens, auf der Ebene des Arbeitsplatzes von Mitarbeitenden und auf der Ebene der Versorgung von Patientinnen und Patienten. Die Qualitäts-, Effizienz- und Ertragsoptimierungen sowie eine hohe Arbeitgeberattraktivität sollen durch institutionalisierte, konstante Verbesserungen und durch eine auf die Bedürfnisse der Patientinnen und Patienten ausgerichtete Unternehmenshaltung erreicht werden. Zur Erreichung dieser Qualitätsoptimierungen bedient sich die «lups» seit 2016 der Unternehmensphilosophie des Lean Managements. Das Ziel der Masterthesis ist es, zu erfahren, ob seit der Einführung des Lean Managements von Mitarbeitenden der «lups» Veränderungen in ihrem Arbeitsalltag wahrgenommen werden, wie diese beurteilt werden und inwieweit das Lean Management als Haltung von Mitarbeitenden der «lups» bereits implementiert wurde. Aus den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen werden anschliessend Qualitätsindikatoren für die Arbeit in Psychiatrien abgeleitet. Empirisch basieren die erhobenen Daten auf neun leitfadengestützten, professions- und hierarchieübergreifenden Interviews mit Mitarbeitenden der kinder- und jugendpsychiatrischen Dienste der «lups». Diese wurden mithilfe der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Philipp Mayring ausgewertet. Das Konzept des Lean Managements, die damit zusammenhängende Wirksamkeitsforschung sowie Qualitätsindikatoren für die Arbeit in Psychiatrien bilden hierbei den nötigen, theoretischen Kontext. Die Masterthesis leistet dabei einen Beitrag zur Schliessung der Forschungslücken in den ebengenannten Themenbereichen. Spannend ist, dass die Versorgungsqualität von Patientinnen und Patienten in den kinder- und jugendpsychiatrischen Diensten in Kriens bis zum Erhebungszeitpunkt primär indirekt durch das Lean Management beeinflusst wurde. Die bisherigen Massnahmen betrafen vor allem die Mitarbeitenden und ihren Arbeitsplatz. Es wird ersichtlich, dass die Interventionen trotzdem eine positive Wirkung auf den Behandlungsverlauf haben können. Ausserdem wird klar, dass die Profession der Sozialen Arbeit von der Masterthesis profitieren kann, da durch die Thesis aufgezeigt wird, wo und warum Lean Management als Unternehmensphilosophie auch im Sozialwesen genutzt werden kann.

description: Sleep is a crucial aspect of a person's overall health and well-being, as it helps rejuvenate both the mind and body. Poor sleep has been a long- standing issue for many individuals. Those with various health conditions often face sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea.In fact, some people even pass away during sleep due to abnormal changes in their body during rest. Most existing systems designed to monitor sleep issues are unable to address real-time problems, as they typically collect data after a certain period of sleep. Real-time sleep monitoring is essential for detecting sleep apnea and managing conditions like asthma. To address this challenge, an IoT-based real- time sleep apnea detection system has been developed for acoustic monitoring.This system enables users to track various sleep metrics and receive alerts through a cloud application when any abnormalities are detected. The monitoring process does not disturb the sleeper and displays the data on a cloud platform using a Wi- Fi module.The system uses multiple analog sensors connected to an ESP32 to measure various sleep parameters. The collected data is shown on the ESP32 monitor and within the cloud application. By analyzing this data, the system can identify sleep apnea occurrences and even provide insights into the potential causes behind it.

description: The interactions of copper complex (CuQ2) of 1-amino-4-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone (QH) with calf thymus DNA, anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) were investigated in an aqueous solution at physiological pH (7.4). Affinities of such molecule to DNA and surfactant micelles, a model for a biological membrane, are important in determining its biological action. Using different models, various binding parameters were evaluated in both of molecule–DNA interaction and molecule–surfactant interaction. The study showed that hydrophobic interaction plays a major role in the binding of CuQ2 to surfactant micelles. In addition, the hydrophobic interaction has an important role in the distribution of CuQ2 between micelle-water phases. Gibbs free energy for the binding and distribution of CuQ2 between the bulk aqueous medium and surfactant micelles were calculated. In order to correlate the physicochemical properties deciphered from the aforementioned studies with the biological property of the molecule, CuQ2 was treated with MDA-MB-231 breast adenocarcinoma cells where it was found that the molecule affects the viability of the cancer cells. Fluorescent staining of the treated cells with AO/EB and Hoechst indicated that the CuQ2 induces apoptosis, suggesting its use in the treatment of breast cancer.

description: Objective: We explored drivers’ mobile device use and its associated risk of a safety-critical event (SCE) in specific driving contexts. Our premise was that the SCE risk associated with mobile device use increases when the driving task becomes demanding.Methods: Data from naturalistic driving studies involving commercial motor vehicle drivers and light vehicle drivers were partitioned into subsets representative of specific driving contexts. The subsets were generated using data set attributes that included level of service and relation to junction. These attributes were selected based on exogenous factors known to alter driving task demands. The subsets were analyzed using a case-cohort approach, which was selected to complement previous investigations of mobile device SCE risk using naturalistic driving data.Results: Both commercial motor vehicle and light vehicle drivers varied as to how much they conversed on a mobile device but did not vary their engagement in visual–manual subtasks. Furthermore, commercial motor vehicle drivers conversed less frequently as the driving task demands increased, whereas light vehicle drivers did not. The risk of an SCE associated with mobile device use was dependent on the subtask performed and the driving context. Only visual–manual subtasks were associated with an increased SCE risk, whereas conversing was associated with a decreased risk in some driving contexts.Conclusion: Drivers’ engagement in mobile device subtasks varies by driving context. The SCE risk associated with mobile device use is dependent on the types of subtasks performed and the driving context. The findings of this exploratory study can be applied to the design of driver–vehicle interfaces that mitigate distraction by preventing visual–manual subtasks while driving.

description: The Space–Time Cube (STC) is a suitable representation to display multiple characteristics of movement data and will especially reveal temporal patterns in the data. By adding annotations to the cube’s paths and stations, the narrative of the display is enhanced. To illustrate the STC’s storytelling capabilities, a historical event, Napoleon’s crossing of the Berezina River during his Russian campaign in 1812 is presented and linked to an event in 2012 when the authors made a similar trip. Also, a set of different visual queries and their results are presented, emphasizing the STC as an alternative addition to a more extended visualization environment.
