The article focuses on several recent Czech books and movies on the topic of the Holocaust, or Shoah. Some of these works are original and inventive (Jáchym Topol’s prose book Chladnou zemí from ...2009) or at least worthy of interest (Mark Najbrt’s film Protektor from 2009), some are conventional and exploit well-established narrative procedures and patterns (Radka Denemarková’s prose book Peníze od Hitlera from 2006, Milan Cieslar’s film Colette from 2013, after Arnošt Lustig’s book). Today, the Holocaust is perceived as a global icon, representing inhumanity and referring to universal moral norms. However, at the same time one can clearly observe a tendency to trivialization in the way the topic is presented — more and more often containing intimity, brutality, sexuality. Some artists, to oppose the trend, look for ways of giving the Shoah in the way it‘s presented a new actuality, for instance by employing the grotesque as well as black humour, or by combining terror with vulgarity and banality (besides Topol also Arnošt Goldflam and Radek Malý).
U radu se analizira promjena identiteta dječjega lika predstavljena u poljskim suvremenim dječjim romanima o holokaustu. Koristeći se kategorijom igre kakvu su opisali, primjerice, Erving Goffman, ...George Eisen i Jerzy Cieślikowski, rad pokazuje da promjena židovskoga u nežidovski identitet (i obrnuto) funkcionira kao neka vrsta igre s vlastitim pravilima, praksama, ulozima itd. Dječji židovski identitet opisan je kao nešto određeno vlastitim okruženjem (u prvom redu nacističkim autoritetom), a potom kao nešto fluidno, a ne strogo definirano (protagonisti uglavnom potječu iz integriranih poljsko-židovskih okruženja). Igranje u smislu iskoraka od normalnoga života doima se kao jedini način na koji je moguće preživjeti užase rata i šoe. Fluidnost identiteta predstavljena je kao mehanizam s pomoću kojega se protagoniste predstavlja kao univerzalne likove suočene sa strahovitim događanjima, što ove romane čini privlačnima i suvremenim čitateljima.
Radom se označava početak projekta dokumentiranja stanja židovske imovine u Zagrebu od 1945. do 1948. godine, bilo da se radi o imovini zagrebačkih židovskih općina i njezinih organizacija, drugih ...židovskih organizacija i društava, imovini pravnih i fizičkih osoba. Cilj je mapirati topografiju materijalne, a potom i nematerijalne kulture židovske baštine Zagreba, koja je u dva navrata devastirana, tijekom postojanja Nezavisne Države Hrvatske (1941-1945), a zatim u procesu promjene strukture vlasništva u poslijeratnoj Jugoslaviji (1945-1948).

Hourly concentrations of 89 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) together with other atmospheric trace gases like ozone (O3), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) ...were measured continuously in a suburban area of Nanjing, China. The investigations were conducted during the summer, 2018 to better characterize airborne VOC and their influence on O3 and secondary organic aerosols (SOA) formation. The average hourly total VOCs (TVOCs) concentration was 35 ± 21 ppbv which was mainly contributed by different alkanes (41%) followed by halohydrocarbons and oxygenated volatile organic compounds (31%), aromatics (16%), alkenes (9%), and alkyne (3%). The TVOCs concentration was in a similar range with the ones observed in other urban and suburban areas in China. Traffic had an important influence on the air quality in the study area as the diurnal variation of the trace gases depicted a bimodal distribution that coincides with the rush-hours. The O3 concentrations exceeded both the national and international air quality standards. The VOC:NOx was much higher than 8:1, indicating ambient air was NOx limited to atmospheric O3 formation, therefore, reduction of NOx concentration could reduce O3 formation rates more effectively. The average hourly ozone formation potential (OFP) of the VOCs was 218 μg m−3 and the major contributors to it were aromatics (43%) and alkenes (23%). The average hourly secondary organic aerosol formation potential (SOAFP) of the VOCs was 0.9 μg m−3. Similar to the OFP, aromatic VOCs were the major contributors to the total SOAFP. To improve the air quality in the study area traffic emissions as well as the aromatic and alkene VOCs emissions reduction are necessary.

The safe-operating-area (SOA) of large array device (LAD) is one of the most important factors affecting the device reliability. In this paper, the improvement of the electrical-SOA (E-SOA) and the ...thermal-SOA (T-SOA) by using an optional implantation layer for 5-V n-channel large array MOSFET has been investigated in a 0.15-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">\mu \text{m} </tex-math></inline-formula> bipolar-CMOS-DMOS process. Experimental results showed that the secondary breakdown current (It2) is improved by 5 times, and a significant improvement is also observed in the E-SOA and the T-SOA boundary as compared to the original device. In addition, the impact of inserting additional layout pick-ups into themultiple-finger layout of large array MOSFET to the E-SOA, It2, and trigger voltage is also practically investigated in silicon for the LAD with a total width of 12 000<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">~\mu \text{m} </tex-math></inline-formula>.
When a sinusoidal grating (test) is abruptly displaced by a phase angle of 180deg synchronously with the 90deg shift of gratings (inducer) above and below it, the test appears to move in the same ...direction as the inducer (motion assimilation). To investigate temporal characteristics of the motion assimilation, stimulus-onsetasynchrony (SOA) is introduced between the displacements of the test and the inducer and the magnitude of motion assimilation was measured as a function of SOA. The effect of SOA on the magnitude of motion assimilation changed significantly as a result of changes in the spatial frequency of the test grating.
A campaign was carried out to measure the emission characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in different areas of a petroleum refinery in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region in China. In ...the refining area, 2-methylpentane, 2,3-dimethylbutane, methylcyclopentane, 3-methylhexane, and butane accounted for >50% of the total VOCs; in the chemical industry area, 2-methylpentane, p-diethylbenzene, 2,3-dimethylbutane, m-diethylbenzene and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene were the top five VOCs detected; and in the wastewater treatment area, the five most abundant species were 2-methylpentane, 2,3-dimethylbutane, methylcyclopentane, 3-methylpentane and p-diethylbenzene. The secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation potential was estimated using the fractional aerosol coefficients (FAC), secondary organic aerosol potential (SOAP), and SOA yield methods. The FAC method suggests that toluene, p-diethylbenzene, and p-diethylbenzene are the largest contributors to the SOA formation in the refining, chemical industry, and wastewater treatment areas, respectively. With the SOAP method, it is estimated that toluene is the largest contributor to the SOA formation in the refining area, but o-ethyltoluene contributes the most both in the chemical industry and wastewater treatment areas. For the SOA yield method, aromatics dominate the yields and account for nearly 100% of the total in the three areas. The SOA concentrations estimated of the refining, chemical industry and wastewater treatment areas are 30, 3835 and 137μgm−3, respectively. Despite the uncertainties and limitations associated with the three methods, the SOA yield method is suggested to be used for the estimation of SOA formation from the petroleum refinery. The results of this study have demonstrated that the control of VOCs, especially aromatics such as toluene, ethyltoluene, benzene and diethylbenzene, should be a focus of future regulatory measures in order to reduce PM pollution in the PRD region.

A large data set including surface, aircraft, and laboratory observations of the atomic oxygen‐to‐carbon (O:C) and hydrogen‐to‐carbon (H:C) ratios of organic aerosol (OA) is synthesized and corrected ...using a recently reported method. The whole data set indicates a wide range of OA oxidation and a trajectory in the Van Krevelen diagram, characterized by a slope of −0.6, with variation across campaigns. We show that laboratory OA including both source and aged types explains some of the key differences in OA observed across different environments. However, the laboratory data typically fall below the mean line defined by ambient observations, and little laboratory data extend to the highest O:C ratios commonly observed in remote conditions. OA having both high O:C and high H:C are required to bridge the gaps. Aqueous‐phase oxidation may produce such OA, but experiments under realistic ambient conditions are needed to constrain the relative importance of this pathway.
Key Points
Lab and field OA elemental composition follow a line in Van Krevelen space
Mixing and aging largely explain ambient data but gaps exist
Processing that produce OA with both high O:C and high H:C are needed

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) play an important role in global environmental chemistry and climate. In the present work, biogenic emissions from China in 2017 were estimated based on the ...Model of Emissions of Gases and Aerosols from Nature (MEGAN). The effects of BVOC emissions on ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation were investigated using the WRF-CMAQ modeling system. Three parallel scenarios were developed to assess the impact of BVOC emissions on China's ozone and SOA formation in July 2017. Biogenic emissions were estimated at 23.54 Tg/yr, with a peak in the summer and decreasing from southern to northern China. The high BVOC emissions across eastern and southwestern China increased the surface ozone levels, particularly in the BTH (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei), SCB (Sichuan Basin), YRD (Yangtze River Delta) and central PRD (Pearl River Delta) regions, with increases of up to 47 μg m−3 due to the sensitivity of VOC-limited urban areas. In summer, most SOA concentrations formed over China are from biogenic sources (national average of 70%). And SOA concentrations in YRD and SCB regions are generally higher than other regions. Excluding anthropogenic emissions while keeping biogenic emissions unchanged results that SOA concentrations reduce by 60% over China, which indicates that anthropogenic emissions can interact with biogenic emissions then facilitate biogenic SOA formation. It is suggested that controlling anthropogenic emissions would result in reduction of both anthropogenic and biogenic SOA.
•BVOC emissions in China were estimated at high spatial resolution by MEGAN in 2017.•The impact of BVOC emissions on O3 and SOA in China was analyzed by WRF-CMAQ model.•BVOC emissions were 23.54 Tg with a peak in summer and decreasing going north.•BVOC emissions significantly increased surface O3 and SOA concentrations in China.•Controlling anthropogenic emissions would reduce both ASOA and BSOA.
