Aldehydes-Aided Lignin-First Deconstruction Strategy for Facilitating Lignin Monomers and Fermentable Glucose Production from Poplar Wood

In this study, lignin with fine structures and facile enzymatic saccharifying residue were successively dissociated based on the lignin-first biomass deconstruction strategy. In the lignin-first process, aldehyde-protected lignin fractions were firstly isolated by acid-catalyzed dioxane extraction in the presence of formaldehyde (FA) and acetaldehyde (AA) and then analyzed by advanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The optimized hydrogenolysis of the extracted lignin (LFA and LAA) resulted in a high yield (42.57% and 33.00%) of lignin monomers with high product selectivity (mainly 2,6-dimethoxy-4-propylphenol) (39.93% and 46.61%). Moreover, the cellulose-rich residues were saccharified into fermentable glucose for bioethanol production. The glucose yield of the substrate (RAA) reached to 75.12%, which was significantly higher than that (15.4%) of the substrate (RFA). In short, the lignin-first biomass deconstruction by adding AA is a promising and sustainable process for producing value-added products (energy and fine chemicals) from lignocellulosic biomass.

Deconstruction of Mandala’s Puri Agung Karangasem

Abstract-Deconstruction is a method, a thought as well as a theory created by Jacques Derrida, a philosopher and critic of French literature. Derrida himself was reluctant to determine exactly what deconstruction is. Derrida only mentions what is not, not what is yes. However, the thought that is currently on the decline is actually attracting the attention of architects so that his fame is revived. If you follow Derrida's way of thinking surely no one will be able to explain what deconstruction is, because once he explains that the deconstruction revealed is not deconstruction. To better recognize and understand the strategy of deconstruction in architecture, the way Bennedikt should be imitated, as a method of analyzing architectural works using the perspective of deconstruction. In this paper we will try to read an architectural work, using Bennedikt's method. The work that will be the object of reading is Puri Agung Karangasem. The main objective to be obtained through this paper is to find out whether the work can be classified into deconstruction architecture, to deepen the understanding of deconstruction itself and at the same time train sensitivity in thoroughly reviewing an architectural work through an observation angle.
 

Мовна картина світу у драмі Наталії Ворожбит «Зерносховище»

The article deals with the language image of the world in «The Grain Store» by N. Vorozhbyt. The author uses the method of cognitive definition which gives the possibility to reconstruct collective and individual ways of language conceptualization of reality with an appropriate set of categorical, evaluative and typological characteristics. The research has been carried out according to the program of minimal analysis of the language image of the world which includes six aspects of profiling in accordance with the basic communication model, taking into account language profiling of concepts in artistic texts. The program of minimal analysis of the language image of the world includes several items: way of determining collective identity; way of perception and linguistic recognition of others; ways of conceptualizing of space and «own» place in the world; ways of conceptualizing of community space; values functioning in «our world»; types of expression varied according to style and genre criteria. «The Grain Store» is classified by the researcher as the artistic work connected with «new writing» or «new drama» literary movement. The texts created in the convention of «new drama» are characterized by deep social, cultural and mental engagement, cope with complex individual and collective experience, use the strategy of deconstruction in order to redraft the established ideological schemes and update the appropriate system of values. The text by N. Vorozhbyt copes with the complex theme of the Holodomor. The issue of creating human and society identity is in the focus of playwright's attention burdened with traumatic memory and traumatic generation's experience. «The Grain Store» has demonstrated that for the art, which deals with the problems of multidimensional and multifaceted intertwining between narrative, memory and identity, the theme of the Holodomor ceases to be just a historical and factual phenomenon. Trying to understand the causes and circumstances that led to the tragedy of the Great Famine, encourage the playwright to seek deeper meaning, which are behind the factuality and topography, through the consistent updating of the anthropological, axiological and ontological perspectives. The reconstruction of the language image of the world in «The Grain Store» has demonstrated the ways of conceptualization of inevitable destructive processes related to the destruction of the unique identity of the traditional Ukrainian village as well as the consequences of these processes for the functioning of a modern post-traumatic society.

СТРАТЕГИЯ ДЕКОНСТРУКЦИИ СОВЕТСКОГО ПРОТОТЕКСТА В ПРОЗЕ В. ПЕЛЕВИНА

The article deals with the problem of reconstruction of the Soviet picture of the world in V. Pelevin’s prose. The researcher focuses on the author’s strategy for the deconstruction of the Soviet prototext, defined as destruction of the conventional linguistic structures of the ideological language of the Soviet era and stereotypes of their perception, which is characteristic of postmodernism and V. Pelevin’s idiostyle. The author proposes an original methodology for describing the strategy of deconstruction of the Soviet prototext, systematizes the methods used by the writer for de-stereotyping the signs of Soviet discourse.

Deconstruction as a strategy for creating an alternative biography (based on P. Yatsenko’s novel «Nechui. Nemov. Nebach»)

The research is determined by the transformation of worldview and ideology focuses in the modern national self-identification as well as by the need in generalizing specific processes of reformatting the canonic forms of literary biography. P. Yatsenko’s steampunk novel “Nechui. Nemov. Nebach” forms the basis for the analysis of the way the deconstructive strategy of the alternative biography creation is put into practice. The author’s concept proves to correlate with J. Derrida’s ideas about the denial of the universal source of literary meaning and about the transference of the sense-making centre within the aesthetic object. The concept of the decentralized structure (“free play”), implemented in P. Yatsenko’s novel, leads to the replacement, transformation, and transference of sense-bearing and formal text components. The play strategies of visualization, employed in the novel’s paratext, along with elements of alternativeness manifest the change in the polarity of the traditional binary oppositions and denial of the authoritative centre, which is characteristic of deconstruction. The integrity of Nechui-Levytskyi’s biography, which is realized in P. Yatsenko’s novel through the general worldview and ideological-and-aesthetic context, acquires other centres owing to the devices of structure deconstruction, such as romantic, ideological, adventure-and-mystery, humour-and-farce, religious, symbolic, and axiological centres.

Structural Violence against Women in the Pentecostal Movement: Proposals for a South African Deconstruction Strategy

The phenomenon of discrimination against women within Pentecostal churches in terms of ministry and leadership is investigated to propose a strategy for deconstructing such structural violence. The violence is described in terms of a case study, the history of a prominent South African Pentecostal denomination (Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa) that initially recognised the involvement of women in all forms of ministry; subsequently in the 1940s refusing their ministry as preachers and pastors, and eventually at the end of the 1970s offering them the same ministerial privileges as for males. Their recognition is, however, characterised by a practical non-application of a church order that in effect represents the commitment of violence against women. It is argued that the change in perspectives of women’s ministry and leadership is hermeneutical in nature. To deconstruct it would need revisiting Pentecostalism’s original hermeneutic as well as restoring its restorationist urge of egalitarianism and inclusiveness.

A Reading of Marlene Streeruwitz’s New York. New York

The paper examines Marlene Streeruwitz’s fi rst play New York. New York. Which, after its fi rst staging in Munich in 1993, caused a controversy because of the provocative treatment of the subject and the use of deconstructive strategies. The analysis undertaken here focuses on both these aspects. Streeruwitz’s play is a mixture of tragedy, comedy and farce, a collage of highly choreographed everyday and surreal scenes, quotations and fi lmic and acoustic elements that highlight the trans-historical continuation of the exploitative patterns inherent in social structures, in which men possess all power. The play is set in an underground men’s toilet, albeit occasionally used by women, at the „Burgstrasse” station in Vienna – a location where the veneer of bourgeois respectability conceals the repeated acts of victimization, exploitation, brutality, abuse, duplicity and indifference. This is a distinctly Austrian Hades, and yet, in Streeruwitz’s bleak diagnosis, the behavioral patterns do not just relate to contemporary Austria but to western civilization in general.

FAREWELL, "CASTRATED OTHER": GENDER MEDICINE AND DECONSTRUCTION STRATEGIES OF POSTMODERNISM

Purpose. Objectives of the study are as follows: to remove the reduction of women to a metaphysical subject, to the "castrated Other" through the correlation of postmodern strategies and gender medicine; to institutionalize gender medicine as knowledge and practical activities that improve the quality and span of life of women based on the methodological application of deconstruction, complementarity, differance, "double writing", X-subject treatment and biomedical innovations; the perspective of gender medicine development is the implementation of the concept of "sovereign writing" of postmodern in individual treatment of a person. Theoretical basis. Shock value of the title means farewell to metaphysics in the complex of its derived concepts. The author criticizes the abstract, reduced, marginalized, deviant subject of classical metaphysics and its continuation in psychoanalysis (Freud, Lacan), explores the correlation of postmodern philosophy strategies and biomedical innovations. The allusion to the masterpiece of world cinematography Pasolini’s "Ciao maschio" corresponds to the rhizomatic stylistics of the postmodern. Originality. After feminist transgressions, gender constructivism postmodern philosophy demonstrates a new subject and a new methodology, which formed gender medicine. Differance, distinction, complementarity, X-subject of treatment, chiasmatic movement, "double writing", "sovereign writing" organically turned over and reconstructed modern medicine in gender, biochemical, and hormonal innovative variations. Conclusions. 1. Based on the philosophy and biomedical innovations, a new direction has grown – gender medicine, which has removed the reduction of women to a metaphysical subject, "castrated Other", which has improved the quality of women’s health and span of life. 2. Gender medicine in organic combination with the strategies of deconstruction, complementarity, differance, distinction as hormonal distinction, "double writing" as a "dual protocol" of treatment for the same diseases of men and women, the treatment of X-subject turned out to be "new wisdom", which improves the quality of health and span of life in everyday practice. 3. The prospect of the gender medicine’s development is in the implementation of the "sovereign writing" as an individual treatment of a specific person.

On Interpretative Theories of Rhythm

The connection between the concepts of “rhythm” and “interpretation” or “meaning” in literary (lyrical) theory can be received as a mere paradox. The concept of rhythm and metre had a very important, functional role in the theories of structuralism and structural semiotics. These paradigms of literary theory provided very precise, sometimes numerically detailed descriptions of metre, or a rhythm of a poem, however without taking into consideration the problem of interpretation. From the other side, hermeneutic approaches sometimes mention the “phenomenon” of rhythm, all the same do not realize text-analysis, so cannot connect the problem of the rhythm of a concrete text with the general questions of text-interpretation. Finally, the deconstructive strategies of text-interpretation and text-analysis rather don’t pay attention on the rhythm of a lyrical work. Nevertheless, there are some xx-th century theories which are based on the creative function of language and the semantic interpretation of rhythm, especially the rhythm in a verse or a poem. The paper examines four semantic theories of rhythm: suggestions of Juri Tinanov, I. A. Richards, Émile Benveniste and Henri Meschonnic.

‘Cast a Cold Eye’: Life and Death in W. B. Yeats's Poetry

ABSTRACTAcclaimed as one of the best poets of the twentieth century, William Butler Yeats is often the focus of critical attention. The connections between Yeats's work and the Abbey Theatre, Irish nationalism, language arts, and his love affair with Maud Gonne have been widely explored. Many of Yeats's poems focus on death, a universal topic which engenders fear and enchantment simultaneously, so his attitude toward the inevitability of decrepitude merits further exploration. This paper discusses Yeats's early poems, such as ‘When You Are Old’ and ‘The Folly of Being Comforted’ as well as his later poems, such as ‘The Municipal Gallery Revisited’ and ‘A Dialogue of Self and Soul.’ These poems are analysed in a comparative study of Yeats's conception of life and death. Additionally, Derrida's deconstructive reading strategy and his creative interpretation of death expounded in The Gift of Death (1996) are included to trace the elusive nature of death in Yeats's poetry and illustrate its personal and cultural implications. It was found that whereas in his earlier poems the hierarchical opposition of life and death is strategically subverted to help resolve his unrequited love affair, Yeats deals with death with energy and confidence in his later poems.

‘Materials as a Design Tool’ Design Philosophy Applied in Three Innovative Research Pavilions Out of Sustainable Building Materials with Controlled End-Of-Life Scenarios

Choosing building materials is usually the stage that follows design in the architectural design process, and is rarely used as a main input and driver for the design of the whole building’s geometries or structures. As an approach to have control over the environmental impact of the applied building materials and their after-use scenarios, an approach has been initiated by the author through a series of research studies, architectural built prototypes, and green material developments. This paper illustrates how sustainable building materials can be a main input in the design process, and how digital fabrication technologies can enable variable controlling strategies over the green materials’ properties, enabling adjustable innovative building spaces with new architectural typologies, aesthetic values, and controlled martial life cycles. Through this, a new type of design philosophy by means of applying sustainable building materials with closed life cycles is created. In this paper, three case studies of research pavilions are illustrated. The pavilions were prefabricated and constructed from newly developed sustainable building materials. The applied materials varied between structural and non-structural building materials, where each had a controlled end-of-life scenario. The application of the bio-based building materials was set as an initial design phase, and the architects here participated within two disciplines: once as designers, and additionally as green building material developers. In all three case studies, Design for Deconstruction (DfD) strategies were applied in different manners, encouraging architects to further follow such suggested approaches.

Deconstruction the Theatrical Time in the Expressionist Doctrine

Time affects all elements of the intellectual scene or the theatrical scene. It came along with the theatrical doctrines according to the conditions of those doctrines and their conceptual ideas or the method of their mechanisms in the application. While it is classically or realistically integrated, we see it in the expressionist doctrine inconsistent and its inconsistency makes it responsive for the deconstruction strategy. Hence the researcher entitled his study (deconstruction the theatrical time in the expressionist doctrine) so that deconstruction would be a field for his study. The study starts with an introduction presenting the research problem, importance and objective. The theoretical framework consisted of three sections. The first section (time deconstruction strategy), the second section (time in the expressionist doctrine) and the third section (time deconstruction in the expressionist doctrine). The research procedures include an intentional sample represented by the play show (playing and worry). A number of results reached at are as follows: the insufficiency of any time significance will give the audience constant presence and will give the readers diversity and spread. The most important conclusion was that recalling the time of the multiple reading results in recalling of the subconscious time

Parent Artery Occlusion for Unruptured Cerebral Aneurysms: Results of the Japanese Registry of Neuroendovascular Therapy 3.

Although the current standard treatment for unruptured aneurysms comprises surgical clipping or endovascular coiling, these techniques are not suitable for some cases, such as large, giant, and fusiform aneurysms. Endovascular parent artery occlusion (PAO), which includes internal trapping and proximal occlusion, is a well-established alternative treatment for such cases. Here, we retrospectively reviewed PAO cases from the Japanese Registry of Neuroendovascular Therapy 3, a nation-wide survey of all neuroendovascular therapy cases between 2010 and 2014. This dataset included 274 procedures with a mean patient age of 57.1 years and 55.4% female patients. For the treatment strategy, internal trapping was selected in 213 aneurysm cases (77.7%) and proximal occlusion in 61 aneurysm cases (22.2%). Most of the procedures were successfully completed (272/274: 99.2%). Immediately after treatment, angiographical complete occlusion was achieved in 248 cases (90.5%). Although the feasibility of this technique was excellent, there were 60 periprocedural complications (21.8%), including 48 ischemic complications (17.5%), seven hemorrhagic complications (2.5%). Overall, morbidity and mortality at 30 days postoperative were 5.8% and 0.7%, respectively. Among the pretreatment variables, a patient age of 70 and older was associated with ischemic complications [odds ratio (OR); 2.34, 95% confidence interval (CI); 1.02–5.25; P = 0.04] and a small aneurysm size (<5 mm) was associated with hemorrhagic complications (OR; 9.85, 95% CI; 1.07–221.0; P = 0.04) by multivariate analysis. In conclusion, PAO for unruptured cerebral aneurysms is feasible, but is associated with a complication rate of approximately 20%. Various alternative treatment options should be carefully considered with deconstructive strategies.

Optimization of strategy planning for building deconstruction

Abstract Waste management is a growing concern in the construction sector and particularly within demolition works. In order to encourage better management, the European Union has set up a minimal 70% recovering rate - in mass - for building and public works by 2020. And to help deconstruction companies to reach this aim without extra cost or delays, a Multi-Objective Optimization algorithm is suggested. The algorithm will work out a deconstruction strategy - i.e. type of waste treatment, number of required workers… - and will take into account three objectives - cost, delay and recovering rate - with 17 decision variables. Use on a real deconstruction situation highlights the interest of the algorithm. Eight optimization algorithms were tested and the most efficient algorithm is Decomposition-Based Evolutionary Algorithm. It came up with better strategies than the company one. This work proves that environmental performance can be improved without increasing cost or delay.

Counterfactual Histories of Moon Landing

Summary The article is devoted to the analysis of chosen examples of counterfactual narratives which diverge from the typical alternative accounts of history written in the “what if” mode. It focuses on counterfactual representations of space flight and moon landing as crucial historical events of the 20th century. The point of departure for the text is provided by the New Historicist understanding of historical fact and historical event, with particular attention paid to Hayden White’s concept of metahistory. However, to identify the possible functions of the new counterfactuals, I go beyond the binary of past and present which lies at the core of White’s concept. To this end, I employ Jacques Derrida’s concept of artifactuality, which describes the process of the production of facts about current events. I apply this concept to analyse two examples of counterfactual films about space flight: the comedy Moonwalkers (dir. Alain Bardou-Jacquet, 2015) and a mockumentary First on the Moon (dir. Aleksey Fedorchenko, 2005). In these examples, I identify strategies of deconstruction of fact-making which Derrida recommended in his essay. In the concluding part, I introduce the third example of counterfactual narrative, which not so much deconstructs factuality but, rather, counteracts the process of cultural oblivion. In Hidden Figures (2016), Margo Lee Shetterly reconstructed the role that African-American women played in the space race, introducing them into the official historical narrative. In this case, I also compare the book with its cinematic rendition to argue that counterfactuals introduce a new model of thinking of collective relationship with the past.

Deconstructive diversification of cyclic amines.

Deconstructive functionalization involves C–C bond cleavage followed by bond construction on one or more of the constituent carbons. For example, ozonolysis1 and olefin metathesis2, 3 have allowed each carbon in C–C double bonds to be viewed as a functional group. Despite the significant advances in deconstructive functionalizations involving scission of C–C double bonds, there are very few methods that achieve C(sp3)–C(sp3) single bond cleavage/functionalization, especially in relatively unstrained cyclic systems. Here, we report a deconstructive strategy to transform saturated nitrogen heterocycles such as piperidines and pyrrolidines, important moities in bioactive molecules, into halogen-containing acyclic amine derivatives through sequential C(sp3)–N/C(sp3)–C(sp3) single bond cleavage followed by C(sp3)–halogen bond formation. The resulting acyclic haloamines serve as versatile intermediates that are transformed into a variety of structural motifs through substitution reactions. In this way, skeletal remodeling of cyclic amines, which constitutes a scaffold hop, can be achieved. The value of this deconstructive strategy has been demonstrated through the late-stage diversification of proline-containing peptides.

Ethanol: A Promising Green Solvent for the Deconstruction of Lignocellulose.

Growing energy demand, environmental impact, energy security issues, and rural economic development have encouraged the development of sustainable renewable fuels. Nonfood lignocellulosic biomass is a suitable source for sustainable energy because the biomass feedstocks are low cost, abundant, and carbon neutral. Recent thermochemical conversion studies are frequently directed at converting biomass into high-quality liquid fuel precursors or chemicals in a single step. Supercritical ethanol has been selected as a promising solvent medium to deconstruct lignocellulosic biomass because ethanol has extraordinary solubility towards lignocellulosic biomass and can be resourced from cellulosic ethanol facilities. This review provides a critical insight into both catalytic and noncatalytic strategies of lignocellulose deconstruction. In this context, the supercritical ethanol deconstruction pathways are thoroughly reviewed; GC-MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis strategies towards liquid biomass deconstruction products are also critically presented. This review aims to provide readers a broad and accurate roadmap of novel biomass to biofuel conversion techniques.
