Language: The world of words, signs and gestures

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Language: The world of words, signs and gestures, Deutsches Hygiene Museum, Dresden (in co-operation with the Deutsche Akademie fur Sprache und Dichtung). \n \n"Language, whether it’s spoken, written, signed or sensed, is fundamental to our understanding of ourselves as human beings. This exhibition is all about the complexity and intricacy of language, its creative power, but also its beauty. Based on our everyday experiences it explores the connections between the words we speak, our gestures and mimics, and the written word. Why is it that only we humans possess this complex and versatile instrument? And how can we become more attentive to the language we use? \n \nThe exhibition draws the visitor’s attention, at all sorts of levels, to the wealth associated with the many manifestations of language in all the areas of our lives, from literature to youth slang. In our daily interactions with one another we use and shape language, come up with new words, and lose others. The radical changes in our living environments, linked to global technological, cultural and economic trends, are not without impact on language either. That is true in particular of societies where many people look back on a history of migration and where multilingualism tends to be the norm rather than the exception. As the exhibition demonstrates, the essence of language lies first and foremost in its creative adaptability." \n \nOur video installation 'In camera' (1999 Single black & white monitor installation + sound. Looped) was shown in the context of this exhibition: \n"...in the first section of the show entitled “Homo loquens” that is exploring the human capacity for language and its role in defining us as natural and cultural beings. 'In Camera' is a powerful artistic reflection on the theme, impressively capturing – both acoustically and visually - the interior and exterior character of language and that fleeting point between preverbal articulation and verbal communication, thought and expression." \n \n'In camera' was shot from the inside of the mouth, looking out, as attempts to speak are emitted as flashes of light. \n \nSome of the artists, authors and poets shown in the exhibition were: \nTheodor W. Adorno, Halil Altindere, Richard Artschwager, Walter Benjamin, Bas Böttcher, André Breton, Shady Elnoshokaty, Max Ernst, Paule Hammer, Jenny Holzer, Klabund, Dagmara Kraus, Martin Luther, Franz Mon, Herta Müller, Yvonne Rainer, Arnold Schönberg, Nancy Spero, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Slavs and Tatars, Bill Viola, Helga Weissova, Erich Kästner, Stefan Zweig, Smith/Stewart
The Ketibiqere in the Aramaic Portions of Ezra and Daniel

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

language represented by the Tiberian vowel points in the biblical text (Q). By way of contrast, most previous work on the date and provenance of BA has concentrated on the consonantal text (K).1 At an earlier date, scholars studying the question of dialects in Ezra and Daniel drew mainly on Old Aramaic (OA) texts which come from the 8th-5th centuries B.C.E. or on Egyptian Aramaic, socalled Imperial or Official Aramaic (OfA). Currently, the outcome of this research is to suggest that the Aramaic of K in both Ezra and Daniel antedates the emergence of Middle Aramaic dialects with distinctive Western or Eastern features. The K appears to belong to the stratum of OfA, albeit, in the case of Daniel it may belong to the very end of that period.2 Opinions vary regarding the identity of the Q with the Aramaic represented in the K. Although it is often assumed that the language represented in the vocalization of BA antedates the language of targumic Aramaic and cognate literature3 at the present time the linguistic provenance and character of the Q remains
AMELIORATIVE EFFECT OF PLANT EXTRACTS OF SURUHAN (PEPEROMIA PELLUCIDA) ON BLOOD GLUCOSE AND LIBIDO OF MALE MICE INJECTED WITH ALLOXAN.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

This study was conducted to determine the effect of plant extracts of suruhan (Peperomia pellucida L. Kunth) on the blood glucose level and libido of alloxan-induced male mice. By using a completely randomized design, 25 male albino mice were grouped into five with five replications each. Group 1 treated with alloxan at the dose of 150 mg/kg bw (as negative control). Group 2 was given alloxan and glibenclamide of 0.65 mg/kg bw (as positive control). Group 3, 4 and 5 were treated with alloxan and plant extracts at the dose of 56, 112 and 168 mg/kg bw respectively. Injection of alloxan was done 3 times in 6 days and the plant extract was given every day for 35 days.
Results showed plant extracts of suruhan significantly lowering blood glucose levels, shortening courtship and mounting latency, as well as increasing mounting frequency of the mice. It suggests that plant extract of suruhan is potent to be used as anti-hyperglycemic and libido enhancing agents in male subjects.

Experimental Investigation of a Shape-Optimized Staggered Double-Vane Slow-Wave Structure for Terahertz Traveling-Wave Tubes

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Enormous concerns focus on the high-power and wide bandwidth traveling-wave tube (TWT) for its outstanding performance. In this article, a shape-optimized staggered double-vane slow-wave structure (SWS) for terahertz (THz) sheet beam TWT is proposed. The shape-optimized staggered double-vane SWS takes the advantages of higher interaction impedance, lower transmission loss, and lower phase velocity than conventional staggered double-vane SWSs. The shape-optimized staggered double-vane SWS with 85 periods is designed, fabricated, and cold tested. The measured transmission loss of the shape-optimized staggered double-vane SWS is less than 0.79 dB/cm in the frequency range of 0.211–0.26 THz, which is in good agreement with the simulation results. Furthermore, the beam–wave interaction analysis of a sheet beam TWT with this SWS is given. The output power is predicted to be >100 W with 3-dB bandwidth of >50 GHz. The results show that the shape-optimized staggered double-vane SWS is a very promising scheme to construct a high-power and wideband THz TWT for future applications such as communication and imaging.
New Cretaceous empidoids and the Mesozoic dance fly revolution (Diptera: Empidoidea)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Dance flies and relatives (Empidoidea) are a diverse and ecologically important group of Diptera in nearly all modern terrestrial ecosystems. Their fossil record, despite being scattered, attests to a long evolutionary history dating back to the early Mesozoic. Here, we describe seven new species of Empidoidea from Cretaceous Kachin amber inclusions, assigning them to the new genus Electrochoreutes gen.n. (type species: Electrochoreutes trisetigerus sp.n. ) based on unique apomorphies among known Diptera. Like many extant dance flies, the males of Electrochoreutes are characterized by species‐specific sexually dimorphic traits, which are likely to have played a role in courtship. The fine anatomy of the fossils was investigated through high‐resolution X‐ray phase‐contrast microtomography to reconstruct their phylogenetic affinities within the empidoid clade, using cladistic reasoning. Morphology‐based phylogenetic analyses including a selection of all extant family‐ and subfamily‐ranked empidoid clades along with representatives of all extinct Mesozoic genera, were performed using a broad range of analytical methods (maximum parsimony, maximum‐likelihood and Bayesian inference). These analyses converged in reconstructing Electrochoreutes as a stem‐group representative of the Dolichopodidae, suggesting that complex mating rituals evolved in this lineage during the Cretaceous.

Enhanced Water Flux of Aromatic Polyamide Membranes by Grafting Imidazolium‐Type Ionic Liquids Containing Silsesquioxane Frameworks

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract An imidazolium‐type room‐temperature ionic liquid containing silsesquioxane frameworks is successfully prepared. The polar ionic liquid products are grafted onto the surface of prepared aromatic polyamide (PA) membranes to improve water flux of PA membranes. Membranes grafted with an ionic liquid exhibit a water flux of 1.89 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 ), 48% higher than that of pure PA membranes while the salt rejection still remains at 96%. This improvement can be attributed to the enhanced hydrophilicity of the membrane surface, as evidenced by the reduced water contact angle.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective To present the conformal prelamination and surgical procedures of prefabricated radial flaps for reconstruction of lips.Methods The forearm flap and its vascular pedicle were used as blood supply and carrier to which specially additional tissue(skin,mucous membrane)as chimera element was added to prefabricate the three-dimensional contour and morphology of lips.After a period of healing,the prefabricated flap was distantly transferred by microsurgical technique to reconstruct the lips.Results All the flaps survived and the contour and morphology of the reconstructed lips got an acceptable appearance.Conclusion Prefabricated flaps showed many advantages in reconstructing defects of organs such as enough time for surgeons to perform surgical preparation,sculptures and form the contour and imitate the natural appearance of the lips.It may improve the aesthetic outcomes after reconstruction to a great extent.
Dorothy Gott (C. 1748–1812) and ‘God’s Chosen People’: A Disowned Prophet’s Quest for Quaker Recognition in Late Georgian England *

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article examines the psychological implications of Quaker membership, corporate identity and disownment in late Georgian England through analysis of the life and writings of Dorothy Gott (1748/9–1812), a curious ex-Quaker prophet who published three pamphlets of apocalyptic warning about the second coming of Christ at the turn of the eighteenth century. Through recovery research and analysis of her publications, it retrieves the story of her Quaker upbringing, disownment for exogamous marriage, subsequent attempts to gain readmission into the Religious Society of Friends, and calls to her contemporaries to return to the primitive Christianity of early Friends. It investigates the impact of her Quaker religious upbringing on her visionary prophetic emergence and writing; particularly her employment, and privileging, of religious practices and beliefs associated with early Friends, such as the enactment of corporeal prophetic signs and assertion that Christ’s second coming would be within the heart rather than in person.
MicroRNA-24 Is a Novel Regulator of Aldosterone and Cortisol Production in the Human Adrenal Cortex

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Dysregulation of aldosterone or cortisol production can predispose to hypertension, as seen in aldosterone-producing adenoma, a form of primary aldosteronism. We investigated the role of microRNA (miRNA) in their production, with particular emphasis on the CYP11B1 (11β-hydroxylase) and CYP11B2 (aldosterone synthase) genes, which produce the enzymes responsible for the final stages of cortisol and aldosterone biosynthesis, respectively. Knockdown of Dicer1, a key enzyme in miRNA maturation, significantly altered CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 expression in a human adrenocortical cell line. Screening of nondiseased human adrenal and aldosterone-producing adenoma samples yielded reproducible but distinctive miRNA expression signatures for each tissue type, with levels of certain miRNA, including microRNA-24 (miR-24), differing significantly between the 2. Bioinformatic analysis identified putative binding sites for several miRNA, including miR-24, in the 3′ untranslated region of CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 mRNAs. In vitro manipulation of miR-24 confirmed its ability to modulate CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 expression, as well as cortisol and aldosterone production. This study demonstrates that Dicer-dependent miRNA, including miR-24, can post-transcriptionally regulate expression of the CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 genes. Normal adrenal tissue and aldosterone-producing adenoma differ significantly and reproducibly in their miRNA expression profiles, with miR-24 significantly downregulated in the latter. Adrenal miRNA may, therefore, be a novel and valid target for the therapeutic manipulation of corticosteroid biosynthesis.
Concede or Resist? Experimental Evidence on How Partisanship Shapes Local Officials’ Responses to Preemption

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Does partisanship shape local officials’ opposition and resistance to state preemption? To answer this question, I report on two pre-post, between-subjects survey experiments and open-ended responses from more than 1,000 local government officers. Across both experiments, I find that local officials are substantially more opposed to preemption from an out-party state government and significantly more supportive of preemption from an in-party state government. Moreover, local officials are more (less) willing to take action to resist preemption—including legal action, refusing to comply, initiating a resolution, and advocating for more autonomy—when they learn that an out-party (in-party) state government is attempting preemption. The open-ended responses of local officials corroborate the results of the survey experiments. This research has important implications for state-local government relations and how elected governments represent their constituents in our federal system.
Physico-chemical properties of crude oil of Khaya senegalensis (Desr.) A. Juss according to bioclimatic zones in Chad

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The mature seeds of Khaya senegalensis are from 2 to 2.5 cm long and weigh 289 g per 1000 seeds. These seeds contain about 67% oil by weight. This oil, which is fairly rich in oleic acid (66%), is used in West Africa for cooking, for cosmetics, as an insecticide and in traditional medicine. Prospecting to enhance the development of this oil in Chad, the present study aims to determine the physico-chemical properties of this oil according to bioclimatic zones. The density, acidity, peroxide value, moisture content and percentage of impurities were the parameters studied. The results showed that the crude oil of the seeds of K. senegalensis has the qualities close to those of other edible oils. The study also revealed that climate has influenced the physico-chemical parameters of this oil. Further and more research investigations are necessary to guide decisions on the valorisation and large-scale production of this oil.
Comparison of Growth in Children Undergoing Three Different ACL Reconstructions

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Three surgical procedures aim to minimize the risk of physeal damage in children undergoing ACL reconstruction. They include: transphyseal (TP), physeal sparing (PS), and a partial physeal sparing procedure with an all epiphyseal tibial tunnel and graft placement in the ‘over-the-top’ position (OT). PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to address the lack of understanding concerning tunnel migration due to growth in skeletally immature patients following ACL reconstructions. Sequential, post-surgical radiographs were used to quantify changes in tunnel positioning and to assess the rate of migration between these surgical techniques. METHODS: Anterior-posterior and lateral follow-up radiographs were retrospectively obtained for 31 skeletally immature patients (average age = 13.1 yrs) placed in three groups: TP (n=17, average age=13.8 yrs), PS (n=6, average age=11.9 ys), or OT (n=8, average age=12.7 yrs). Along with measuring tunnel angle, length, and width, a two-dimensional grid system was superimposed over the films to assess changes in tunnel position and location over time. ANOVA analysis compared mean values of all measurements at six and twelve months as interpolated time points. RESULTS: The rates of migration of several variables of tunnel position were measured at up to two mm per month. Among 53 variables, only one variable, the vertical rate of change of the femoral tunnel aperture, showed significant difference in both PS and OT groups in comparison to the TP group (0.22 and 0.33 vs. 0.85mm, p<0.0497). The mean values of the measured variables demonstrated few differences to a level of statistical significance as well. Both PS and OT groups demonstrated significant reduction of tibial tunnel width (7.88 and 6.93 vs. 10.58, p=0.0001) and medial condyle radius (13.86 and 14.73 vs. 16.35mm, p<0.0499) compared to the TP group. CONCLUSION: Given only several significant differences in rates of migration, despite 53 variables being measured, this implies ACL reconstruction technique did not significantly affect the migration of tunnel positioning. Overall, this suggests uniform post-operative growth, which supports the notion that TP, PS, and OT procedures are similarly successful in allowing growth around the knee following ACL reconstruction in skeletally immature patients.
Self-Adversarial Training incorporating Forgery Attention for Image Forgery Localization

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Image editing techniques enable people to modify the content of an image without leaving visual traces and thus may cause serious security risks. Hence the detection and localization of these forgeries become quite necessary and challenging. Furthermore, unlike other tasks with extensive data, there is usually a lack of annotated forged images for training due to annotation difficulties. In this paper, we propose a self-adversarial training strategy and a reliable coarse-to-fine network that utilizes a self-attention mechanism to localize forged regions in forgery images. The self-attention module is based on a Channel-Wise High Pass Filter block (CW-HPF). CW-HPF leverages inter-channel relationships of features and extracts noise features by high pass filters. Based on the CW-HPF, a self-attention mechanism, called forgery attention, is proposed to capture rich contextual dependencies of intrinsic inconsistency extracted from tampered regions. Specifically, we append two types of attention modules on top of CW-HPF respectively to model internal interdependencies in spatial dimension and external dependencies among channels. We exploit a coarse-to-fine network to enhance the noise inconsistency between original and tampered regions. More importantly, to address the issue of insufficient training data, we design a self-adversarial training strategy that expands training data dynamically to achieve more robust performance. Specifically, in each training iteration, we perform adversarial attacks against our network to generate adversarial examples and train our model on them. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm steadily outperforms state-of-the-art methods by a clear margin in different benchmark datasets.
