“…Pihlainen suggests that if theory-based accounts are not to become "entertainment" or to stay trapped in a "dead in the water fact-fiction debate," one must turn to "experientiality and emotional impact" in order to envision right action. 70 In other words, one may reasonably hold that non-referentiality and non-realism makes exploration of experience and emotion in moral life possible, but only with a certain normative preunderstanding. As Georges Didi-Huberman has argued (in a line of thought descending chiefly from Aby Warburg and Walter Benjamin), not only do personal accounts and the testimony of memory not need "a clearly visible...referent," but also the very absence of the referent in a verbal or even visual account of past experience can enhance its affective power.…”

“…39 In Pihlainen's terms, proponents of linguistic narrativism theory often want to actualize the emancipatory possibilities of theoretical reflection by thinking of language as performative acts and by not relying on the authority of "the reality of the past." 40 With this intention, although the scholar in one sense frees herself, she has also limited herself to her own sentiments and choices in the absence of "facts." She may well proceed beyond those choices through analysis, but what activates the impulse to do so?…”

On Some Moral Implications of Linguistic Narrativism Theory

In this essay we consider the moral claims of one branch of non-realist theory known as linguistic narrativism theory. By highlighting the moral implications of linguistic narrativism theory, we argue that the “moral vision” expressed by this theory can entail, at worst, undesirable moral agnosticism if not related to a transcendental and supra-personal normativity in our moral life. With its appeal to volitionism and intuitionism, the ethical sensitivity of this theory enters into difficulties brought about by several internal tensions as to what morality and moral judgements involve. We contend that the proponents of linguistic narrativism theory must strongly recognize and take responsibility for the “moral vison” their theory professes, in so far as they want to think of their theory as a morally responsible one.

“…Moreover, it is often the case that whereas one of the chiral enantiomers produces an effect, the other is practically ineffective and likely to cause adverse effects. [1][2][3] Thus, the detection and resolution of chiral substances has received increasing attention in pharmaceutical analysis. [4][5][6] Cinchonine (CCN), a cinchona alkaloid present in the Rubiaceae species Cinchona, has been used in the medical treatment of fever, as well as in the prevention and control of malaria.…”

Chiral determination of cinchonine using an electrochemiluminescent sensor with molecularly imprinted membrane on the surfaces of magnetic particles

et al. 2017

A novel molecular imprinting electrochemiluminescence sensor for detecting chiral cinchonine molecules was developed with a molecularly imprinted polymer membrane on the surfaces of magnetic microspheres. Fe O @Au nanoparticles modified with 6-mercapto-beta-cyclodextrin were used as a carrier, cinchonine as a template molecule, methacrylic acid as a functional monomer and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide as a cross-linking agent. Cinchonine was specifically recognized by the 6-mercapto-beta-cyclodextrin functional molecularly imprinted polymer and detected based on enhancement of the electrochemiluminescence intensity caused by the reaction of tertiary amino structures of cinchonine molecules with Ru(bpy) . Cinchonine concentrations of 1 × 10 to 4 × 10 mol/L showed a good linear relationship with changes of the electrochemiluminescence intensity, and the detection limit of the sensor was 3.13 × 10 mol/L. The sensor has high sensitivity and selectivity, and is easy to renew. It was designed for detecting serum samples, with recovery rates of 98.2% to 107.6%.

The Anthropocene Contract. What Kind of Historian–Reader Agreement Does Environmental Historiography Need?

Perspectives on Public Policy in Societal-Environmental Crises

The paper is an attempt to reply to the question on how environmental history can participate in public debates on contemporary world concerns in a reliable and socially relevant way. I argue that the answer to this question lies in environmental history's reading pact, which I call the Anthropocene contract. Its most important element is the principle of equality, which concerns the relationship between historians and their readers. In the first step, I invoke Graeme Wynn's statement to point to important questions about the challenges that the Anthropocene posed to environmental history. Next I critically discuss the answers to these questions provided by historical theory. I then formulate a proposal for a reading pact of environmental history using the theoretical insights of Kalle Pihlainen and the philosophy of Jacques Rancière.
