Pigment analysis of a color-leaf mutant in Wandering Jew (Tradescantia fluminensis) irradiated by carbon ions

Many mutants of plant induced by heavy ion beam irradiation have been reported in recent years,but leaf anthocyan mutants induced by ion irradiation in evergreen were rarely found.In this study,a color-leaf mutant with purple leaves,stems and petals was isolated from clones of Wandering Jew irradiated by 95.8 MeV/u carbon ion beam.The concentration and histological distribution of leaf pigment were surveyed in wild type and mutant.In mutant,contents of total chlorophylls (Chl),chlorophyll a (Chl a),chlorophyll b (Chl b) and carotenoids (Car) decreased significantly,while concentration of the anthocyanins was 6.2-fold higher than that of wild type.Further composition analysis of anthocyanins by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) indicated that the purple pigmentation of leaves in mutant was caused by accumulation of petunidin anthocyanin.Microscopic examination showed that most petunidin anthocyanin accumulated in the lower epidermis,and little in vascular parenchyma of mutant,while there was no pigment in wild type.Meanwhile,in spongy parenchyma of mutant we observed little Chl,which the wild type abounds in.In conclusion,the color-leaf mutant of Wandering Jew induced by irradiation of carbon ions was improved in ornamental value,and it could be contribute to variation in level,component and distribution of foliar pigment.The possible mutation mechanisms were discussed.

A Question of Identities： Jewish Italian Immigrants in New York During and After War World II

There are many studies on Italian and Jewish immigration in the United States, mainly based on socio-demographic statistics, the theme of exile, Fascist anti-Semitism or ethnic conflicts. Many of these researches focus primarily on Jewish or Italians, but rarely address at Italian Jews as a whole, and, in their relation with Italian American and Jews. One of the reasons of this paucity of studies, might be the little number of Italian Jews who immigrated to the United States, especially in New York in the 1930s and 1940s, that drove several scholars not to pay really attention to this tiny group in ignoring their presence. Thus, this article aims to investigate through some memoirs, interviews and autobiographies the life of Italian Jews who were living in New York and the Metropolitan area during and after War World II, with particular emphasis to those who were born there in these years and their formation of an American identity. This essay will also clarify an Italian Jewish identity--which made Italian the role of memory and ＂nostalgia＂ in an Italian identity--above all Jews a unique group and a minority within a minority.

Shakespeare and Shylock: Behind the Contradictory Construction of the Jew

The character of Shylock in the Merchant of Venice is both intriguing and compelling. Hateful and greedy as he is on the onehand, yet suffered and pathetic on the other. Shakespeare is quite considerate in creating the character. This paper explores the possibili-ties behind Shakespeare, contradictory construction of Shylock.

Jew-Hatred in the Islamic State Organization＇s （ISIS） Ideology

In October 2015, an ISIS member speaking fluent Hebrew warned that soon there would be no Jews left in Jerusalem or in the rest of the land called ＂Israel＂. The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria （ISIS） will fulfill this mission according this Salafi-Jihadism group. ISIS ideology holds that it is first necessary to fight against the near enemy （the Arab states） but the last apocalyptic battle will be with the Jews （the far enemy）. The purpose of this article is to reveal and present the development of Jew-hatred fi＇om al-Qa＇ida and up to the present doctrine oflSIS.

Addressing Jewishness in Norman Manea and Andrei Codrescu＇s Diasporic Memoirs

Taking the notions of homelessness, exile, and search for identity as reference points, this paper explores the ways in which two Romanian exiled writers, Norman Manea and Andrei Codrescu, through their autobiographical writings, engage in creating and representing the concept of Jewishness, this fact adding new layers to their portrayals of rootless identities, at the same time supplying an insight into their own investigations and dentifications of the self. In addition to creating different images and ethnic representations, Manea and Codrescu＇s memoirs focus on portraying the image of the Jew, this being actually the very representation of otherness. The term ＂stranger＂ or ＂foreigner＂ is a generic one, including, irrespective of its ethnic component, all those individuals who guide their life according to a system of values which is different from the one accepted by or imposed on all the people of a country. According to this very pattern the writers taken into discussion in this paper might be considered to be the subject of a double banishment, their state of alienation being the direct result of them belonging not only to the Jewish ethic minority, but also to the very category of exiles. The texts placed under close scrutiny in this research, namely The Hooligan＇s Return （2003）, belonging to Norman Mane, and An lnvohmtary Genius in America＇s Shoes （And What HappenedAfierwards） （200 l）, written by Andrei Codrescu map the mobility of these two writers traversing vast geographical and cultural territories, as testimonies of their nomadic existence, having the express purpose of registering the polymorphous development of their identity and their very capacity of projecting two multi-faceted personalities

The Image of Jews Reconstructed in A Chinese Translation of Oliver Twist from the Perspective of Imagology

The image of Jews,as the“other”,constructed in Oliver Twist by Dickens and reconstructed in its Chinese translation by Wen’an He(1977/1997)1 is studied at the level of lexical items from the perspective of imagology in this paper.Lexical items involving the image of Fagin,the representative of Jews,are negative in the source work.In translating the lexical items to reconstruct Fagin’s image,the translator retains the features of irony and vulgarity carried with them.So,the image of Fagin is generally transported into the target culture basically unchanged.However,due to the translator’s individual reason or the social background of China at that time,those lexical items with religious connotation in the source text are translated without explanation,and as a result,the image of Jews constructed by this kind of lexical items fails to be conveyed to the target readers.

Understanding the Image of Jews in a Chinese Translation of The Merchant of Venice Accompanied with A Paratext

William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice(1600)is controversial as a result of its negative depiction of the Jewish figure Shylock.In translating this literary work into Chinese,the translator is quite possibly involved in reconstructing the image of Jews,as Shylock being the representative in The Merchant of Venice,consciously,or unconsciously.In this paper,the translation of The Merchant of Venice by Shiqiu Liang(2001)is selected to find out how the image of Jews is conveyed to the Chinese readers.Due to the translator’s translation principle of being loyal to the original text,the content in the original text is transferred to the target readers without manipulation.However,the translation work was conducted with a particular social background which is believed to have influenced the translator’s interpretation of the original text.Accompanied the selected translation is a paratext,in which the translator expresses his own opinion on both the playwright and the Jewish and non-Jewish figures in the play;with this paratext,the target readers understand the figures in the play in a different way.Therefore,a different image of Jews is reconstructed in the translation,which is mainly analyzed at the level of larger textual units reflecting hierarchical relations from the perspective of imagology.

The Public Health VS the People＇s Autonomy： Banning Smoking in Orthodox Jewish Community

Smoking is a worldwide problem. Research in recent years has shown us that smoking and second hand smoking can cause many diseases1. As a result of the understanding of the results of smoking, the house of legislator in Israel decided to legislate a law that people under the age of 18 cannot smoke and, a couple of years later, it decided to ban smoking in public places. The problem begins when the law is affecting the person＇s autonomy and the person＇s culture. More than four decades ago when the smoking habit began in Israel, no one knew what the influence would be. Now, although that information is available, the orthodox community in Israel is not exposed to the knowledge. Smoking in this community begins from Purima or from the Bar-Mitzvah3 and from the will of the young orthodox to rebel. This law raises a question： Is it ethical to deprive the young orthodox of the right to smoke？ Alternatively, is there a better way to stop the orthodox from smoking than only the regulation？ In this paper, the author will try to show that regulation alone will not help in the orthodox community, and we need to think on more options to make the orthodox more informed to smoking problems. The author thinks that the best way will be to educate the orthodox community from young age.

Secrets of Survival and Revival of Jews

History shows that once a nation declines, chances of revival are slim, especially for very small nations. They are either assimilated by other strong nations or shut up deep in the mountains, living a slash and burn way of living. Even if there are some ancient nations that have survived and made some progress, they did so with great difficulty. Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, Greece and Persia all are proud of their glorious past and are ambitious for national revival. But the path is not smooth. The Jewish nation, however, is an exception. What is the secret of its survival and seemingly sudden revival？

现代文明的缺憾:德吕蒙种族主义舆论宣传模式研究

自1886年德吕蒙出版《犹太法国》一书到1894年德雷福斯事件前夕,法国种族主义宣传取得较大“成功”。除法国社会乱象和政府无能等原因外,德吕蒙等种族主义者的宣传模式也是其获得公众关注的重要原因之一。首先,德吕蒙等假借科学的名义,偷换种族的自然属性和社会属性概念,使自己的学说获得“合理性”地位;其次,为证明犹太人对法国社会的威胁,他们捏造犹太人渗透法国社会各个领域的关键性数据,使自己对犹太人的攻击具有“事实性”的基础;再次,为证明犹太人造成法国社会的腐化堕落,他们将犹太人与法国社会现象之间的关系进行“流氓式”的解读,使自己对犹太人的攻击具备“逻辑性”前提;最后,为证明犹太人是最卑劣的民族,他们站在最纯洁的爱国主义者立场上随意解读犹太人在军队中的表现,使自己对犹太人的抨击具有“正义”的民族属性。

Corchorus olitorius: A Promising Medicinal Plant in Southern Africa and Effects of Growing Conditions on Its Bioactive Compounds—A Review

Corchorus olitorius (Jew’s mallow), is one of the African indigenous leafy vegetables increasingly getting attention as a possible contributor of both micronutrients and bioactive compounds including proteins, lipids, fiber and vitamin C to human nutrition. Leaves of Corchorus olitorius have been found to have high level of phytochemicals: flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins, and saponins that possess strong radical scavenging activity and antioxidant power. In the arid and semi-arid areas of the world, drought is the main limiting factor affecting plant productivity and influences almost all aspects of plant biology. Water stress deficit is known to cause oxidative stress condition that has generally been reported to elevate phenolic antioxidants in various crops including Jew’s mallow. On the other hand, fertilization is crucial for crop management and high yield, it also affects nutritional value of the food plants. Nitrogen (N) fertilization affects health and nutritional value, including mineral content, fatty acid profile, anti-oxidative capacity and polyphenol levels and composition. The possible effects of fertilization should be considered when deciding on fertilization regime, to optimize both plant physiology, productivity and food-related effects. Nitrogen is an important element for Jew’s mallow production since it responds well to it. However, appropriate amounts of nutrients need to be provided to crops at the right time to favor both crop growth, yield and quality. Different reports confirmed that addition or increase of N, negatively affects the total phenolics and total flavonoids, and reduces accumulation of defense-related secondary metabolites resulting in lower oxidative capacity. Increased secondary metabolite production during water deficit and low nitrogen in the soil has been reported as a stress mechanism by most plants. However, further research is required to explore the biochemical response of Jew’s mallow to water deficit and nitrogen fertilization.

卡夫卡“我是一个中国人”中的乌托邦叙述

德语犹太作家卡夫卡1916年于书信中写道“我是一个中国人”,这句话仅仅成为其与中国文化紧密相连的论据,它背后的内涵却长期遭到忽视。本文结合1900年前后德奥有关乌托邦中国的集体想象与卡夫卡言说的具体语境,认为这一言语并非异国情调的肤浅兴趣,也脱离了清代诗人袁枚《寒夜》中“婚姻与写作”的关系隐喻,而是在道家思想与“身体文化”、布伯哲学“统一性”相勾连的语境下形成的一种“乌托邦”叙述。这种乌托邦叙述在1917—1920年的冥想沉思中再次沿用,但内涵已经变成道教“无为”与政治乌托邦、弥赛亚“隐匿”的关联性。所以,“中国人”不仅成为卡夫卡暂时的理想存在,更是其在不同阶段思考不同问题的载体。

逃避道德的艺术——读《咖啡与道德:埃塞俄比亚犹太人与五旬节教派的文化对抗》

埃塞俄比亚犹太人是以色列国内的一个特殊群体,他们是来自埃塞俄比亚的黑色皮肤的犹太人。数千年来他们生活于埃塞俄比亚的文化区域内,由于长期与主流犹太教与犹太人分离,该群体在文化体现上呈现出更多的埃塞俄比亚本土性——不遵守主流犹太教的律法习俗,不研读《塔木德》文书等。《咖啡与道德:埃塞俄比亚犹太人与五旬节教派的文化对抗》一书作者希曼以描写埃塞俄比亚犹太人饮用Buna咖啡的文化为基点,于多个相互联系的田野案例描写中引出核心话题:上瘾与规避的纠缠、宗教与政治交割、道德模式与个人实践的互动。向人们展示了一个个作为行动个体的人如何与道德、政治、宗教、文化进行“游戏”互动的过程,为我们呈现了一幅“逃避道德的艺术”的现实画卷。

Rabbi Shalem Shabazi-Greatest Poet of Yemen

Shalem Shabazi,acknowledged and revered as the greatest Yemenite poet is an unknown figure to the English-speaking world.His name appears in no general encyclopedia.His works are not to be found in any general literary anthology or collection of poetry.Yet in his lifetime it is said he wrote 15,000 poems,many of which have been lost.He enriched Hebrew literature,creating in the shadow of the Psalms,in a mood of longing for the Temple.He gave form to the wedding ceremony,conceived in the image of the Song of Songs(Canticles)as a sacred consecration,a bond between God and his people.He wrote many books,but only one,“Hemdat Hayamim”survives.His songs are sung at every table and occasion where Yemenite Jews gather to celebrate their heritage,since the day they were written to the present.
