Povzetek: An examination of the Iranian philosopher RezaNegarestani’s development of political theology.Considered within the context of his involvementwith a strand of contemporary philosophicalthinking known as speculative realism, it examinesNegarestani’s use of Islamic referents inCyclonopedia, a multi-layered frame story belongingto the genre of theory fiction, and in more tech-nical-philosophical treatises. Focusing on his deploy-ment of dissenting interpretations of the notions oftaqiyya(concealment, dissimulation) andqiyama(resurrection), the resulting spatiotemporal implica-tions are assessed by putting Negarestani in conver-sation with classical and contemporary Islamic andnon-Muslim thinkers, theologians, and philosophers.

Povzetek: This study aimed to identify the critical ground motion parameters that lead to structural damage and assess their impact on the nonlinear responses of buildings. The analyses are carried out using a calibrated numerical model that was acquired within the ICONS experimental framework that represents reinforced concrete (RC) structures constructed before seismic design regulations were enforced. For the analysis, 30 seismic records were chosen based on magnitude (M), epicentral distance (R), and peak ground acceleration (PGA) for two high seismic activity areas that were observed. Eleven parameters are categorized, traditional metrics, energy-based, spectrum-based, duration-based, and fundamental metrics, and examined based on their main attributes. The results showed a strong relationship between certain seismic properties and the maximum interstory drifts of building as a damage prediction parameter. Peak ground velocity (PGV), specific energy density (SED), and Housner Intensity (HI) were found to be the most important variables in assessing the correlation with possible structural damage. Therefore, the assessment of structural damage based on nonlinear dynamic analysis should primarily incorporate PGV with the possible addition of energy- and spectrum-based metrics as the most reliable ground motion parameters for the selection of earthquake records for time history analysis.

Povzetek: Satellite observations of sea surface temperature (SST) are essential for accurate weather forecasting and climate modeling. However, these data often suffer from incomplete coverage due to cloud obstruction and limited satellite swath width, which requires development of dense reconstruction algorithms. The current state of the art struggles to accurately recover high-frequency variability, particularly in SST gradients in ocean fronts, eddies, and filaments, which are crucial for downstream processing and predictive tasks. To address this challenge, we propose a novel two-stage method CRITER (Coarse Reconstruction with ITerative Refinement Network), which consists of two stages. First, it reconstructs low-frequency SST components utilizing a Vision Transformer-based model, leveraging global spatio-temporal correlations in the available observations. Second, a UNet type of network iteratively refines the estimate by recovering high-frequency details. Extensive analysis on datasets from the Mediterranean, Adriatic, and Atlantic seas demonstrates CRITER's superior performance over the current state of the art. Specifically, CRITER achieves up to 44 % lower reconstruction errors of the missing values and over 80 % lower reconstruction errors of the observed values compared to the state of the art.

Povzetek: Purpose Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) develop osteolytic lesions with fractures, pain, and impaired quality of life. Preclinical data show an anabolic effect of loading exercise in osteolytic lesions of MM. This 6-month pilot study evaluated feasibility and safety of impact-loading exercise in patients with MM after assessment of spinal stability. Methods We assigned 20 patients to perform 45 min of guided impact-loading exercise twice a week and home-based training once a week or stretching exercise twice a week. Primary endpoint was assessment of feasibility and safety. Secondary endpoints were assessments of physical performance, quality of life, and bone remineralization. Results Of 77 eligible patients with MM, 26% accepted participation. In the impact group, 9/12 and in the stretching group 7/8 patients completed training with adherence rates of 65.8 and 81.1%. Ninety percent of the stamping and jumping exercises were performed with increasing intensity from the prescribed training volume of ≥ 100%. Low severity pain events were reported after 32.9% of impact sessions. No serious adverse events were observed. After 6 months, 6-minute walk distance increased in the impact group by 35 m and in the stretching group by 46 m, and chair-rise test improved in the stretching group by 1.7 s. Global health status increased by 24.9% in the impact group, and functional scale by 31.9% in the stretching group based upon EORTC QLQ-C30. No signs of bone remineralization were observed in computed tomography. Conclusion Impact training is feasible and appears to be safe in selected MM patients.

Povzetek: The interconnected nature of orofacial, neck musculature, and the neural system suggests that localised19activities, such as teeth clenching, can influence remote spinal excitability. While stretching exercises are20known to have both local and remote effects, the specific impact of orofacial muscle stretching remains21underexplored. This study investigates the effects of two interventions: 25 guided orofacial and neck22stretching and mobility exercises (Exercises), and chewing six chewing gums for six minutes (Chewing),23on the soleus H-reflex and D1 presynaptic inhibition. Ten volunteers (mean age: 28.75 ± 9 years)24participated, with H-reflex measurements collected using high-density electromyography (HDsEMG)25before and after each intervention. Latency (HLAT ), duration (H DUR ), peak-to-peak (H P2P, D1 PSP ) and positive26peak (H POS ) amplitudes were extracted from unconditioned and conditioned H-reflexes. The ratio27(D1 P2P/H P2P) between conditioned (D1 P2P ) and unconditioned (H P2P ) H-reflex was calculated to study the28D1 presynaptic inhibition mechanisms. Additionally, 8,400 firings from 376 distinct motor units (MUs),29categorised by firing threshold were analysed for latency, firing ratio, and inhibition probability (D1 PROB ).30HP2P, HPOS decreased and HDUR was significantly increased after the Exercise intervention, while the31Chewing intervention had no effect on these parameters. The D1 P2P/H P2P ratio and D1 PROB remained32unchanged, suggesting that the observed drop in H P2P is not mediated by presynaptic inhibition33mechanisms. Single MU analysis confirmed the H-reflex findings. The results of this study suggest that34stretching and mobility exercises targeting the neck and orofacial region can reduce neuromuscular35excitability, offering potential for non-pharmacological management of conditions associated with36motoneuron hyperexcitability and general whole-body relaxation
