THE FIGURE OF SAINT TIMOTHEUS ON THE WALL PAINTING IN THE SACRISTY OF THE ZAGREB CATHEDRAL
No full textAutorica govori o običaju zagrebačkih biskupa da svoja djela obilježe svojim spomen-znakom, najčešće imenom ili likom svojih nebeskih zaštitnika, tj. svecem čije ime nose. Navodi brojne primjere za tu praksu kroz stoljeća. Budući da na zidnoj slici u sakristiji zagrebačke katedrale središnje mjesto između sv. Dominika (lijevo) i sv. Franje (desno) zauzima lik muškarca u rimskoj ili grčkoj odjeći sa svitkom papirusa u ruci, zaključuje da je njime zagrebački biskup Timotej (1263.-1287.), graditelj sakristije i istočnoga dijela katedrale (započete 1275.), ostavio spomen na svojega sveca zaštitnika Timoteja, učenika sv. Pavla. Prije dolaska u Zaagreb biskup Timotej boravio je na papinskim dvorovima u gradovima u srednjoj Italiji, pa otuda, uz stilske i likovne argumente samog načina slikanja, velika vjerojatnost da je autor slike talijanski slikar treće četvrtine 13. stoljeća.The author comments on the habit of the bishops of Zagreb to mark their property with a specific sign, usually their name or the figure of their heavenly protectors whose name they carry. She gives numerous exarnples of this practice throughout the centuries. In the wall painting in the sacristy of the Cathedral in Zagreb the central place is taken by the figure of a man in Roman or Greek clothing with a papyrus scroll in his hand. As he is standing between Saint Dominic (left) and Saint Francis (right), the author suggests that this is a representation of Saint Timotheus, a disciple of Saint Paul's, chosen by the Bishop of Zagreb Timotheus (1263-1287), builder of the sacristy and eastern part of the cathedral (begun in 1275). Before his arrival in Zagreb Bishop Timotheus stayed at several papal residences in the cities of central Italy. Along with the style and texture of the painting analized by the author, this is one more reason why she considers it very probable that this fresco was painted by an Italian artist of the third quarter of the thirteenth century

Fabeln und Erzählungen
No full textI have been reviewing a number of shorter books of Gellert's fables. By comparison, this volume makes several contributions. First, it seems to contain all the fables. They are organized in three books. Secondly, it contains twenty-four Chodowiecki illustrations. So far, I have not met a Gellert illustrator who could pass up Der Tanzbär (9)! There is a T of C at the back. It is perhaps an unusual book in that there is nothing but the fables, illustrations, and T of C. A note on the verso of the title-page indicates that the basis for both text and images is a Weimar Jubiläumsausgabe by Hans Timotheus Kroeber in 1915.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)Language note: GermanChristian Fürchtegott Geller

No full textNanobiomaterials application into tissue repair and ulcer management is experiencing its golden age due to spurring diversity of translational opportunity to clinics. Over the past years, research in clinical science has seen a dramatic increase in medicinal materials at nanoscale those significantly contributed to tissue repair. This chapter outlines the new biomaterials at nanoscale those contribute state of the art clinical practices in ulcer management and wound healing due to their superior properties over traditional dressing materials. Designing new recipes for nanobiomaterials for tissue engineering practices spanning from micro to nano-dimension provided an edge over traditional wound care materials those mimic tissue in vivo. Clinical science stepped into design of artificial skin and extracellular matrix components emulating the innate structures with higher degree of precision. Advances in materials sciences polymer chemistry have yielded an entire class of new nanobiomaterials ranging from dendrimer to novel electrospun polymer with biodegradable chemistries and controlled molecular compositions assisting wound healing adhesives, bandages and controlled of therapeutics in specialized wound care. Moreover, supportive regenerative medicine is transforming into rational, real and successful component of modern clinics providing viable cell therapy of tissue remodeling. Soft nanotechnology involving hydrogel scaffold revolutionized the wound management supplementing physicobiochemical and mechanical considerations of tissue regeneration. Moreover, this chapter also reviews the current challenges and opportunities in specialized nanobiomaterials formulations those are desirable for optimal localized wound care considering their in situ physiological microenvironment

Abstract Argumentation for Hybrid Intelligence Scenarios
No full textHybrid Intelligence (HI) is the combination of human and machine intelligence, expanding human intellect instead of replacing it. Information in HI scenarios is often inconsistent, e.g. due to shifting preferences, user's motivation or conflicts arising from merged data. As it provides an intuitive mechanism for reasoning with conflicting information, with natural explanations that are understandable to humans, our hypothesis is that Dung's Abstract Argumentation (AA) is a suitable formalism for such hybrid scenarios. This paper investigates the capabilities of Argumentation in representing and reasoning in the presence of inconsistency, and its potential for intuitive explainability to link between artificial and human actors. To this end, we conduct a survey among a number of research projects of the Hybrid Intelligence Centre. Within these projects we analyse the applicability of argumentation with respect to various inconsistency types stemming, for instance, from commonsense reasoning, decision making, and negotiation. The results show that 14 out of the 21 projects have to deal with inconsistent information. In half of those scenarios, the knowledge models come with natural preference relations over the information. We show that Argumentation is a suitable framework to model the specific knowledge in 10 out of 14 projects, thus indicating the potential of Abstract Argumentation for transparently dealing with inconsistencies in Hybrid Intelligence systems.Interactive Intelligenc
ART, DEPTH AND AFFECT IN "WINTER": METAMODERNIST CONTEXTS OF ALI SMITH’S NOVEL
No full textArt, Depth and Affect in Winter: Metamodernist Contexts of Ali Smith\u27s Novel. The paper discusses Ali Smith’s Winter through the prism of the theory of metamodernism. The novel can be related to the works of authors who reject the cynical sophistication of postmodernist art and appropriate its strategies to focus on authenticity, sincerity, and affect. Drawing on Robin van den Akker, Alison Gibbons, and Timotheus Vermeulen, who maintain that the metamodernist structure of feeling manifests through a mix of/or oscillation between pre-modernist, modernist and postmodernist tropes and devices, the author considers Ali Smith’s novel a mixture of postmodernist, modernist and romantic elements and explores how these elements function in the production of the metamodernist effect of her novel.
REZUMAT. Artă, profunzime și afect în Iarna: Contexte metamoderniste în romanul lui Ali Smith. Această lucrare se ocupă de romanul Winter de Ali Smith prin prisma teoriei metamodernismului. Acest roman poate fi asociat cu lucrările unor autori care resping sofisticarea cinică a artei postmoderniste și își însușesc strategiile postmodernismului pentru a se concentra pe autenticitate, sinceritate și afect. Bazându-se pe Robin van den Akker, Alison Gibbons şi Timotheus Vermeulen care susțin că structura metamodernistă a sentimentului se manifestă combinând și/sau oscilând între tropi și procedee pre-moderniste, moderniste și postmoderniste, autoarea apreciază că romanul lui Ali Smith este o mixtură de elemente postmoderniste, moderniste și romantice și cercetează modul în care aceste elemente funcționează în producerea efectului metamodernist al romanului.

"We need to rediscover the living body" : Gabriel Josipovici's metamodern project in Goldberg: Variations
No full textIn the epilogue to the 2002 edition of The Politics of Postmodernism, Linda Hutcheon proclaims the end of postmodernism. Emerging in its place is a new "structure of feeling," conceived by Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker as metamodernism. Characterised by an oscillating in-betweenness or a dialectical movement between conflicting positions which are neither fully affirmed nor completely negated, the cultural paradigm of metamodernism is situated between genuine commitment and ironic detachment, between hope and melancholy, empathy and apathy, unity and plurality, totality and fragmentation, purity and ambiguity. The aim of the present article is to show that Gabriel Josipovici's novel Goldberg: Variations (2002) endorses this incipient metamodern sensibility by advocating the embodied nature of the creative process. Elaborate techniques of intermediality, the ontological instability of narrative levels and extensive metafiction are employed by the author to propound a more human perspective on literature and art in general.In the epilogue to the 2002 edition of The Politics of Postmodernism, Linda Hutcheon proclaims the end of postmodernism.

Peptide controlled shaping of biomineralized tin(II) oxide into flower-like particles
No full textThe size and morphology of metal oxide particles have a large impact on the physicochemical properties of these materials, e.g., the aspect ratio of particles affects their catalytic activity. Bioinspired synthesis routes give the opportunity to control precisely the structure and aspect ratio of the metal oxide particles by bioorganic molecules, such as peptides. This study focusses on the identification of tin(II) oxide (tin monoxide, SnO) binding peptides, and their effect on the synthesis of crystalline SnO microstructures. The phage display technique was used to identify the 7-mer peptide SnBP01 (LPPWKLK), which shows a high binding affinity towards crystalline SnO. It was found that the derivatives of the SnBP01 peptide, varying in peptide length and thus in their interaction, significantly affect the aspect ratio and the size dimension of mineralized SnO particles, resulting in flower-like morphology. Furthermore, the important role of the N-terminal leucine residue in the peptide for the strong organic-inorganic interaction was revealed by FTIR investigations. This bioinspired approach shows a facile procedure for the detailed investigation of peptide-to-metal oxide interactions, as well as an easy method for the controlled synthesis of tin(II) oxide particles with different morphologies
