Menyibak Kekerasan Simbolik Orientalisme

Recent order of world civilization seems to be constructed by Western civilization through project of orientalism which assumes East as the passive receiver of anything West actively offer; East is considered uncivilized, primitive, and dominated by myth and superstition. Based on the assumptions, West wants to inject modernity awareness into East cognitive sphere. But, East finds the want as a West tricky way to dominate East, a new kind of colonialism, and a hegemony.
 West hegemony covered under orientalism—to use Pierre Boudeau’s term—is a kind of symbolic violence. The term refers to a violence insulted smoothly; it is differed from domination which refers more to physical violence. Orientalism symbolic violence can be traced through orientalists’ works on East that are scientifically and massively published. The violence should be wisely responded by East through creating balance discourse based on scientific and intuitive capabilities.

Placement of a biliary metal stent to expand a choledochus stenosis after Frey's surgery

A 47-year-old patient presented with jaundice. Laboratory examinations confirmed cholestasis. The patient had a long history of chronic pancreatitis. Subsequently, cholecystectomy and a duodenumpreserving resection of the pancreatic head (Frey's surgery) had been performed. Endoscopic retrograd holangiography was done. The endoscope was inserted the normal way to the untouched papilla vateri. After injection of contrast medium, only the side-to-side choledocho-jejunal anastomosis but not the common bile duct could be visualized because the catheter spontaneously slipped into the jejunum via the side-to-side choledocho-jejunal anastomosis. After introducing a catheter percutaneously into the intrahepatic bile duct system, a long stenosis of the common bile duct could be visualized. It was possible to overcome the stenosis with a wire, but the wire also dislocated into the jejunum via the side-to-side choledocho-jejunal anastomosis and could not be placed through the papilla into the duodenum. The problem was solved in a tricky way: A wire was introduced into the common bile duct via the papilla and placed into the duodenum. A loop was brought in percutaneously and was also placed in the jejunum. With the loop, the wire was grabbed and taken out percutaneously. Now a biliary metal stent could be positioned correctly over the wire to expand the stenosis. After the procedure jaundice was cured quickly. The further course was uneventful with complete recovery.

Improved algorithm for triple-excitation contributions within the coupled cluster approach

A new algorithm to handle triple-excitation contributions within the coupled cluster and/or many body perturbation theory is presented. It achieves a theoretical acceleration factor of 3 on a sub-set of the calculations, resulting for molecules in C1 symmetry in a maximal speedup of 1.6 and 2.0 for open and closed shell cases, respectively. The algorithm is based on common footing for ppph-pphh and phhh-pphh interactions and on a tricky way of handling pre-summed sub-matrices, which enables one to decrease the number of ∼N 7 operations by converting them to ∼N 6. After a complete reorganization of the memory usage and handling of files, typical speedup factors of 1.6–1.8 are achieved for real calculations. Parallelization is straightforward with minimal communication requirements and scalability is excellent on distributed clusters.

Interactivity Means Interpassivity

The man-made character of technology is deliberately ignored by certain postulates connected with 'interactive' media art. Proclaiming to have achieved a communication between a technical installation and its user through an interface, they disguise that a programmer is always standing behind such work. From a programmed technology can only emerge a simple alternation, never a communication in the sense of an equal exchange of thoughts, capable of reaction to the unpredicted. Making technology big is one side of the coin, its reverse is making oneself small. Man has always had to flee towards a freedom-from-independence- promising instance and apparently its current name is technology. The mania to deliver oneself up to 'technologically produced' intoxications is a tricky way to reduce one's responsibility and to feel simultaneously big in the shadow of a protecting authority. Seemingly, what is active about interactivity is man's activation of, literally, all thinking handles, in order to sell activity off.

The anterior cricoid split exlored via the canine model, preliminary studies (POR 00477)

In molecular biology covalently closed circular DNAs are able to passthrough double layer of eukaryotic cellular membrane. Very recently the presence of circular extra chromosomal DNA (ecDNA) has been shown which are different in seventeen different types of cancers. In fact, ecDNA are the tricky way of oncogenes to increase their copy number. We hypothesis the presence of ecDNA in the blood of cancer patients as a subpopulation of liquid biopsy. On the occasion of their presence in blood they will be very beneficial to cover the small amount of cell frees DNA (cfDNA). Isolation and characterization of ecDNA will be possible by a sensitive method entitled Circle-Seq. The origin of tumor more than its prognosis and diagnosis will be possible in the easiest way by using ecDNA.

Zum Problem der Saisonbereinigung ökonomischer Zeitreihen

In this paper various aspects of seasonal adjustment of economic time series are discussed. Firstly, criteria relating to the adequacy of adjustment procedures based on spectral analysis of stationary stochastic processes are reviewed critically. In this context, some of the well-known adjustment procedures are critizised from a basic point of view: in general, they mostly lean heavily on the theory of stationary stochastic processes if a well-defined theoretical background can be detected at all. However, this very theory is of questionable value only in analyzing or adjusting especially economic time series since it implies a seasonal component of constant variance. Since no real seasonal component is of constant variance, adjustment procedures based on this theory have to be manipulated in various tricky ways so as to meet the fact of non-constancy of the variance. But this leads to a state of affairs which is unsatisfactory both from a practical and a theoretical point of view.

Suppression of Inventions

Question.-You are a monopolist of light bulbs, which now have a service life of 1,000 hours. Your engineers discover a way of doubling the service life, without any change in the cost of producing bulbs. If you, as a monopolist, fail to suppress the invention, what will be the price-quantity solution (assuming that consumers are fully informed about the improved quality) at the new equilibrium, ignoring transient states? Will it pay to suppress the invention? Answer.-The demand curve for bulbs shifts in rather a tricky way. One's first impression might be that the demand price for a bulb generating twice the number of light-hours would be everywhere twice as high as for an unimproved bulb. But this ignores the declining marginal value in use of light-hours associated with the doubling of their quantity. The demand curve for improved bulbs is twice as high, but at halved quantities (in the steady-state solution); the curve shifts upward, but also twists so as to become more vertical. The solution is simpler to obtain if the analysis runs in terms of quantities of light-hours rather than of bulbs, and if total rather than average magnitudes are employed. Since the demand function for light-hours remains unchanged, so will the total-revenue function R(L). The totalcost function of bulbs C(B) is unchanged, which means that the total-cost function of light-hours C(L) is stretched (doubled) in the horizontal direction. (At a given cost, the same number of bulbs and hence twice the number of light-hours can be produced.) We can assume that marginal cost is positive, C 0, and that marginal revenue is declining, R(L) < 0. If marginal cost is rising or constant, the horizontal stretching of C(L) clearly lowers C'(L) evaluated at the original output of lighthours (now representing half the original quantity of bulbs). Since R'(L) is unchanged, this dictates an increased output of light-hours, that is, the optimum output of new bulbs must be at least half the previous profit-maximizing output of unimproved bulbs. The profit-maximizing output of new bulbs may even exceed the previous output of unimproved bulbs if R'(L) is falling very slowly; in that case, the output of light-hours will more than double. (The corresponding implications for the price of light-hours and the price of bulbs are quite clear, and need not be
