Life and Work of Dr. Vilko Anderlić
No full textNa temelju arhivske građe Dijecezanskog arhiva u Đakovu članak obrađuje, povodom 120. obljetnice rođenja, život i rad dr. Vilka Anderlića (1882.-1957.), svećenika Đakovačke i Srijemske biskupije i profesora na Visokoj bogoslovnoj školi u Đakovu te pisca prvog priručnika katoličke društvene nauke, pod naslovom „Sociologija“, objavljenog 1912. godine u Đakovu. Nakon prikaza profesorske službe (1911.-1914.) te župničke službe u Berku (1914.-1930.) i Sotinu (1930.-1957.) članak ukazuje na određene probleme s kojima se dr. Anderlić susretao u svojoj pastoralnoj službi i koji su odredili njegov spisateljski rad. Ističe se tako nacionalno pitanje u župi Sotin, problem s vjeronaukom u školama nakon 1945. godine te razna gospodarska pitanja (društvena pravednost, komunalna politika, seljačko i radničko pitanje, žensko pitanje), nastala prodorom liberalizma i kasnije marksističke ideologije. Članak završava prikazom izdavačke i uredničke djelatnosti dr. Anderlića u tjedniku „Hrvatski Borac“ te njegovom iscrpnom bibliografijom radova.On the occasion of the 120'h birth anniversary of Dr. Vilko Anderlić, the article portrays his life and work (1882 - 1957). Priest in the Diocese of Đakovo and Srijem, professor at the School of Theology in Đakovo, Dr. Anderlić was also the author of the first manual of Catholic social doctrine published in Đakovo in 1912 under the title "Sociology". The article first focuses on his teaching (1911 - 1914), then the time when he was a parish priest in Berok (1914 - 1930) and Sotin (1930 -1957), then it points to certain difficulties Dr. Anderlić was facing in his pastoral work, difficulties which somehow defined his writing. Among the problems he was facing we can mention the ethnic issue in Sotin, problems with catechism in schools after 1945, various economic issues (social justice, municipal system, peasents', workers' and women's rights issues), which were a result of the outburst of liberalism and later on Marxist ideology. In its conclusion the article shows a survey of Dr. Anderlić's publishing and editorial work in the weekly magazine "Hrvatski Borac", presenting a meticulous bibliography of his works

Ocean system science to inform the exploration of ocean worlds. Oceanography, 35(1), (2022): 16-20, https://doi.org/10.5670/oceanog.2021.411.Ocean worlds provide fascinating opportunities for future ocean research. They allow us to test our understanding of processes we consider fundamental to Earth’s ocean and simultaneously provide motivation to explore our ocean further and develop new technologies to do so. In parallel, ocean worlds research offers opportunities for ocean scientists to provide meaningful contributions to novel investigations in the coming decades that will search for life beyond Earth. Key to the contributions that oceanographers can make to this field is that studies of all other ocean worlds remain extremely data limited. Here, we describe an approach based on ocean systems science in which theoretical modeling can be used, in concert with targeted laboratory experimentation and direct observations in Earth’s ocean, to predict what processes (including those essential to support life) might be occurring on other ocean worlds. In turn, such an approach would help identify new technologies that might be required for future space missions as well as appropriate analog studies that could be conducted on Earth to develop and validate such technologies. Our approach is both integrative and interdisciplinary and considers multiple domains, from processes active in the subseafloor to those associated with ocean-ice feedbacks.This work is supported by NASA Astrobiology Program award # 80NSSC19K1427 Exploring Ocean Worlds: Ocean System Science to Support the Search for Life
Computational and experimental studies of solids in the ammonia-water system
No full textThis thesis reports the results of first-principles computational studies of thirteen
crystalline structures in the H2O-NH3 system. This includes eight low- and highpressure
polymorphs of pure water ice, two polymorphs of solid ammonia, and three
low-pressure stoichiometric ammonia hydrates. These simulations have been used to
determine the athermal equation of state (EoS) of each phase.
Where empirical data was lacking, experiments have been undertaken. Hence, this
thesis also reports the results of time-of-flight neutron scattering studies of deuterated
ammonia dihydrate powders down to 4 K, and up to a maximum pressure of 8.6 GPa.
In addition, I have developed a flexible and accurate planetary model that can be
used to calculate the triaxial shape and gravitational field of any object, regardless of
size or composition, given an assumed mineralogical constitution and provided the EoS
of said minerals are known. The EoS parameters found in this work have therefore been
used to model the structure and thermal evolution of icy moons orbiting Saturn in
anticipation of the Cassini spacecraft arriving at Saturn in mid-2004. Models of Rhea,
Saturn’s second largest moon, suggest that its volatile component is likely to contain > 3
weight percent ammonia, but that one is unlikely to be able to constrain the bulk
chemistry of the ice mantle from Cassini flyby data
The text exchange task in iiTTD through a task-in-process perspective: a case study
No full textO Teletandem Institucional Integrado (TTDii) agrupa estudantes universitários brasileiros e de outros países em telecolaboração, com o objetivo de que se auxiliem na aprendizagem da língua do outro. O TTDii funciona de modo integrado às disciplinas de língua estrangeira, por meio da incorporação de tarefas integradoras, isto é, tarefas pedagógicas que podem ao mesmo tempo apoiar a prática telecolcaborativa e contribuir para os objetivos de ensino da disciplina (Aranha; Cavalari, 2014; Cavalari; Aranha, 2016). Uma destas tarefas é a troca de textos, realizada pelos interagentes de maneira alternada: os participantes escrevem textos em língua estrangeira e os enviam a seus pares, que, por sua vez, revisam os textos e os retornam ao autor, para que sejam discutidos e revisados durante sessões orais de teletandem intermediárias (SOTins) (Aranha; Cavalari, 2014; Cavalari; Aranha, 2016; Aranha; Cavalari; Cunha, 2023). Partindo do conceito de task-in-process (Breen, 1987; Nunan, 2004; Dooly, 2011), este trabalho objetiva caracterizar a tarefa de troca de textos no contexto TTDii durante as SOTins de modo processual (task-in-process), ou seja, descrever como os interagentes a executam em telecolaboração síncrona em relação às orientações (task-as-workplan). Para isso, são analisadas as transcrições das SOTins de dois pares de participantes do TTDii, provenientes do MulTeC (Multimodal Teletandem Corpus) (Aranha; Lopes, 2019), com base nos princípios de Análise Temática (Braun e Clarke, 2006, 2012, 2021) para examinar os padrões temáticos que emergem nos dados. São dados secundários também as próprias SOTins, os tutoriais e metadados da turma e os textos trocados pelos interagentes. Os resultados da análise indicam a presença de seis temas, por ordem de expressividade: i) Revisão do texto (66,5% do total de palavras codificadas); ii) Assunto do texto (14,6%); iii) Avaliação (7,8%); iv) Execução da tarefa (7,8%); v) Agradecimentos e expressões de afetividade (1,7%); e vi) Confirmação de envio/recebimento (1,6%). Além disso, a análise mostra uma tendência, dos interagentes investigados, de seguir as instruções (task-as-workplan) da tarefa de troca de textos que são diretrizes essenciais para a execução da tarefa (envio do texto original e revisado anteriormente à SOTin, iniciar a SOTin com a revisão etc.), mas de flexibilizar algumas das orientações, de acordo com os interesses e necessidades dos pares (conversar sobre o assunto do texto, prover explicações gramaticais detalhadas etc.).The Institutional Integrated Teletandem (iiTTD) groups Brazilian university students and those from other countries in telecollaboration, with the aim of helping each learn the other‟s language. iiTTD operates in an integrated way with foreign language courses, through the incorporation of integrating tasks, that is, pedagogical tasks that can at the same time support telecollaborative practice and contribute to the teaching goals of the subject (Aranha; Cavalari, 2014; Cavalari; Aranha, 2016). One of these tasks is the text exchange, carried out by the interactants alternately: participants write texts in a foreign language and send them to their peers, who, in turn, review the texts and return them to the author, so that they can be discussed and reviewed during intermediate teletandem oral sessions (inTOS) (Aranha; Cavalari, 2014; Cavalari; Aranha, 2016; Aranha; Cavalari; Cunha, 2023). Using the concept of task-in-process (Breen, 1987; Nunan, 2004; Dooly, 2011), this research aims to characterize the text exchange task in the iiTTD context during inTOS from a procedural perspective (task-in-process), that is, describe how interactants carry it out in synchronous telecollaboration in comparison to the guidelines (task-as-workplan). To this end, we analyze the transcriptions of inTOS from two pairs of interactants in iiTTD from MulTeC (Multimodal Teletandem Corpus) (Aranha; Lopes, 2019), employing the principles of Thematic Analysis (Braun and Clarke, 2006, 2012, 2021) to examine the thematic patterns that emerge in the data. The inTOS themselves, the class tutorials and metadata, and the texts exchanged by the interactants are also secondary data. The results of the analysis indicate the presence of six themes, ordered by prevalence: i) Revision of the text (66.5% of the total coded words); ii) Subject of the text (14.6%); iii) Assessment (7.8%); iv) Execution of the task (7.8%); v) Thanks and expressions of affection (1.7%); and vi) Sending/receiving confirmation (1.6%). Furthermore, the analysis shows that the investigated interactants tend to follow the text exchange task instructions (task-as-workplan) that are essential guidelines for carrying out the task (sending the original and previously revised text to SOTin, starting SOTin with review, etc.), but now to follow strictly some of the other guidelines, changing them according to their interests and needs (talking about the subject of the text, providing detailed grammatical explanations, etc.)
Ablation of Hepatocyte Derived‐ FGL1 Does Not Aggravate Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease
No full textInternational audienceMetabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) begins with simple steatosis, which can progress to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The pathogenesis of MASLD alters the secretion of hepatokines such as fibrinogen‐like 1 (FGL1), a candidate mediator of liver steatosis and hyperglycemia. To investigate the contribution of FGL1 to liver diseases, we compared wild‐type mice to mice with hepatocyte‐specific deletion of Fgl1 subjected to a steatosis or HCC experimental protocol. We found that mice deficient for Fgl1 in hepatocytes showed higher levels of plasma glucose, pronounced metabolic alterations, and liver injury when fed a western diet compared to their wild‐type counterparts. However, both genotypes exhibited similar lipid deposition in the liver. Similarly, wild type and Fgl1 ‐deficient mice displayed comparable liver alterations during HCC progression. We observed that FGL1 expression was repressed during MASLD progression in mice and humans concomitantly with the severity of liver injury. Altogether, these findings suggest that FGL1 is not a major contributor to the pathogenesis of MASLD and HCC
Who were the two Aterixes allegedly coming from Osijek and Odra near Zagreb
No full textThe Museum of Slavonia keeps a simple grave stele attributed to Urbana and her son Getul who were freed by Aterix. It was found at the Jewish cemetery in Gornji grad, near the road to Cepin. According to the analysis done by D. Pinterovie in 1978, the stele was dates in the end of the 1st or the beginning of the 2nd century, Urbana's husband and heir and Gaul's father would be /A/rkto, also mentioned on the stele. The location of Aterix's property, where they lived and were buried, could have been that of today's cemetery.
There are no finds that could substantiate this thesis. The word of mouth at the museum was that the stele was first found at a cemetery in Grabovac but there was no mention of which Grabovac. There are several places by that name, namely, in Baranja, near Dalj, Sotin and one near Dakovo. However, Grabovac near the Jewish cemetery has remained unknown. The author believes the original location of the stele was Grabovac in Baranja from where it had to be transferred to Osijek, to the Jewish cemetery more specifically, before 1941.
Based on various information and analogies the author believes that Urbana, mother of Getul, was a member of the Getules (people living in North Africa), and that she was brought in around 25 AD as a slave to the Pannonian IX Legion (Hispanorum) that had fought in North Africa against rebels. She was sold in a town as town slave. Later was bought by Aterix (from Osijek) who set her free together with her children and brother Arkto. The author also thinks that Urbana and Aterix were born around 15 AD and thus of approximately the same age. According to the inscription on the stele she died at the age of 50 which means the stele was made in 65 AD.
The stele from Odra near Zagreb has been attributed to Ateboduus, son of yet another Aterix, a veteran of the II Varcian cohort who was discharged from military service in 80 AD. He died at the age of 75, in around 112 AD. His father Aterix was probably born in around 15 AD.
As for the meaning of the Celtic name Aterix, it could be translated into Croatian on the basis of linguistic analysis as "father King"
Antique viticulture and wine production in Slavonia
No full textAfter the introduction in which he defines time and place scope of the topic - the area of today's Slavonia and Croatian Baranya as parts of Roman Pannonia, the author gives a short review of the origins of viticulture in general (Vitis vinifera, probably of wild vine substrate Vitis silvestris that was wide-spread in Mediterranean forests, EHRENDORFER, 1984, 338. The oldest find of cultivated vine of those sorts in Aegea originates from mid-Neolithic layers of localities in Sitagroa in Thrace (ZANINOVIC, 1976, 263). According to antique authors - Dio Casisus and others, conditions for viticulture had been unfavourable at the beginning, but after melioration and Probe's vineyard planting, the conditions improved. (KATANCIC, 1991, 58-61, MOCSY, 1962, 681; GRAF, 1936, 12-13).
The above data refer to archeological and epigra-phic finds concerning antique viticulture and wine production till the first half of the year 2001. in the region of traditional Slavonia and Croatian Baranya that has been divided into today's counties: Osjecko-baranjska, Vukovarsko-srijemska, Brodsko-posavska, Pozesko-slavonska, Bjelovarsko-bilogorska and Viro-viticko-podravska.
In spite of the data being unequal due to the fact that antique localities haven't been researched at the same level, it is noticeable that today's most important wine growing areas gave most finds from the ancient times.
The most important monument of antique viticulture, not only in our region, but also in Pannonia in general, originates from Popovac in Baranya. It is the altar for Father Libero on which huge vine areas have been engraved, but as the inscription has been significantly damaged it is not possible to clear up all the facts. (KATANCIC, 1826, 443, 565; BRUNSMID, 1907, 112-113; GRAF, 1936, 112; MOCSY, 1962, 669)
The earliest and the most numerous finds originate from the area of Osijek, Roman Mursa, beginning with cantars and craters from the early Iron age (SPAJIC, 1962, T. 14:7, T. 19:20). These early finds as well as those from the early Roman period, among which the most important is a fragment ACO jug with a relief inscription. (BULAT, 1977.a. 26, T.10:l)are not a proof of antique viticulture in our region, but they only prove that people were familiar with imported wine . (PINTEROVIC, 1978, passim).
There are other localities in the south part of Osjecko-baranjska county, the most important of which are: Dalj, antique Teutiburgium, (PINTEROVIC, 1954,
20-21, BULAT 1977a, 77-78, BULAT 1984a, 126, fig. 8), Strbinci near Đakovo, antique Certissa (BRUNSMID, 1901, 137.139, MIGOTTI, 1998, 75 and further).
The most important localities in Vukovarsko-srijemska county are: Vinkovci, (Cibalae), Sotin (Cornacum) and Ilok (Cuccium). Altars to Libero originate from Vinkovci and Sotin. On the altar from Vinkovci there is a cask (DIMITRIJEVIĆ, 1979, 168), a unique and very important find. Besides other finds from Vinkovici (BRUNŠMID, 1902, passim; DIMITRIJEVIĆ, 1979, 170, 174-175) there are also numerous fragments of amphora necks some of which with signet (VIKIĆ, BELANČIĆ, 1970, 172-173).
Among finds from the still not enough researched Sotin (BRUNSMID, 1907,111-112; 1913-1914, 225) there is bronze fist of Thrace God Sabazi (BRUNŠMID, 1913-1914, 245) which could be connected with colonists from Thrace- winegrowers- of the first half of the 3rd century (BULAT, 1991, 46). Of the earlier finds from Ilok there is a greenish-brown enameled jug from the antique grave by the road to Ljuba.(BRUNŠMID, 1901, 145-148).
In the eastern part of Brodsko-posavska county there are numerous famous archeological finds of antique localities some of which have been researched. (LOZUK, 1993, 35) and in the north there is a find of antique villa in Otrnci near Benkovci (DAMEVSKA, GORENC, 1976-1980). In Požeško-slavonska county there are also numerous archeological finds of antique settlements and rustic villas. Research of late antique necropolis in Treštanovac gradina near Tekić is one of the most significant excavations in that area. (SOKAČ-ŠTIMAC, BULAT, 1974, 116, SOKAČ-ŠTIMAC, 1984, 134-135)
The most important archeological find of the southeastern part of Bjelovarsko-bilogorska county -Daruvar (it is actually in Veliki Bastaji) gave, among other finds, a big sarcophagus with a relief of Dionysus panther and vine with grapes. However, it doesn't have to be proof of antique viticulture, but it could have symbolic meaning only. (HOFFILLER, SARIA, 1938, 272-273, SZABO, 1934, 83-84, PINTEROVIC, 1973-1975, 142-144).
There are no data for Virovitičko-podravska county concerning antique viticulture and wine production. Taking into account finds from the locality Orešac, near Suhopolje, we could say that it had been present in that area as well.(MINICHREITER, 1986, 81-89).
Antique viticulture and wine production was blooming in the late antique and in particular with Christianity that needed wine for its rituals. However, Barbaric invasions after Emperor Valent's defeat at Drinopolje in 378, made an end of Christianity and
viticulture in Pannonia. Viticulture was resumed to some extent in Pannonia, north of Drava River after defeat of Avars (GRIVEC, 1985, 105-106) but that is not subject of this paper
The hepatokine FGL1 regulates hepcidin and iron metabolism during anemia in mice by antagonizing BMP signaling
No full textInternational audienceAbstract As a functional component of erythrocyte hemoglobin, iron is essential for oxygen delivery to all tissues in the body. The liver-derived peptide hepcidin is the master regulator of iron homeostasis. During anemia, the erythroid hormone erythroferrone regulates hepcidin synthesis to ensure the adequate supply of iron to the bone marrow for red blood cell production. However, mounting evidence suggested that another factor may exert a similar function. We identified the hepatokine fibrinogen-like 1 (FGL1) as a previously undescribed suppressor of hepcidin that is induced in the liver in response to hypoxia during the recovery from anemia, and in thalassemic mice. We demonstrated that FGL1 is a potent suppressor of hepcidin in vitro and in vivo. Deletion of Fgl1 in mice results in higher hepcidin levels at baseline and after bleeding. FGL1 exerts its activity by directly binding to bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6), thereby inhibiting the canonical BMP-SMAD signaling cascade that controls hepcidin transcription

FGL1 exerts its activity by direct binding to BMP6, thereby inhibiting the canonical BMP-SMAD signaling cascade that controls hepcidin transcription. Key points 1/ FGL1 regulates iron metabolism during the recovery from anemia. 2/ FGL1 is an antagonist of the BMP/SMAD signaling pathway
