Authors: Amina Nasir  , Dr. Shammem Akhtar
Published: January 2025

This research was conducted to investigate the connection between cyber-bullying, psychological distress, and quality of life among employees. For this purpose, a cross-sectional correlational research design was used and a sample of 150 participants was selected through convenient sampling technique from various organizations in Faisalabad city. A demographic sheet, Cyber bully/Victim Scale, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), and Quality of Life Scale (QOLS) were used to collect the data. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The results revealed a significant positive correlation between cyber-bullying and psychological distress and a weak negative correlation with quality of life.  Further, the t-test analysis reported similar levels of cyber-bullying in both genders but female employees’ scores were higher on psychological distress and quality of life as compared to male employees. The findings emphasize the need for organizations to implement anti-cyber-bullying policies, accessible support services, and gender-sensitive mental health resources to foster a safer and healthier workplace culture. This study contributes valuable insights into the growing concern of workplace mental health in digitally connected environments.

Authors: Rabia Majeed  , Hamza Feroz  , Nafees Ahmad  , Maryam
Published: January 2025

Education is an essential factor of economic growth and a fundamental right of every person. No nation can achieve long-term economic expansion without making significant investments in education. Education enhances one's technical aptitude for investigating novel concepts and inventions. It raises people's standard of living and benefits people as well as societies. Education is a basic human right, but unfortunately, in Pakistan, women's education still receives little attention. This study focuses on the value of female education and how women's education affects Pakistan's economic growth. using quantitative study from the period of 1998 to 2021. The autoregressive distribution lag (ARDL) model is applied to estimate the impact. The result shows that in Pakistan, education expenditure has no positive effect on female education. In contrast, a positive relationship between female higher education and GDP growth exists, but this relation is not strong in the short run and long run. The policy recommendation is that government should allocate more of its budget on education and make efforts for improvement of the quality of education at different levels.

Published: January 2025

In the 12th–14th centuries, an administrative-territorial structure with a special status functioned in southern Transylvania. At first it was subordinated to the diocese of Rome, then to the archbishopric of Esztergom. Thus, it maintained its autonomy from the diocese of Transylvania. During its history, the provosts named at the head of this ecclesiastic institution in Sibiu enjoyed all the prestige that came along with this position within the Hungarian Realm.
Among these provosts there are a number of individuals who used their position to gain access to other offices, such as that of bishop, or who simultaneously also occupied positions at the court of the king. The present study aims to present the careers of the provost of Sibiu within the kingdom of Hungary, analysing the edited documents.

Published: January 2025

The foundation of a place of worship and its support was generally done for the purpose of eternal remembrance, as mentioned in the pisani or other inscriptions accompanying the gifts or foundations. The ancestral lineage was not forgotten either, as the remembrance of ancestors was a permanent requirement for demonstrating the faith and piety of the founder. The landowners did not forget that the churches they had built would also house the family tombs. The founder enjoyed advantages, but also had obligations concerning the material support of the place of worship and its servants, the observance of canonical rules and the remembrance of the authorities, on the fulfilment of these requirements depended the normal running of religious activity.The founding act was influenced by the introduction of the Organic Regulation in Moldova, the economic, social and administrative reforms and the political changes that followed, the Union of the Romanian Principalities, the War of Independence and other crucial events of the 19th century. The financial, social and political power of the aristocratic class was affected by the new administrative-territorial designs that split or extended estates, reorganized them and redistributed their resources.
ANALYSIS OF HEAT TRANSFER TO A SHEET-TYPE HEAT EXCHANGER PLACED IN RUNNING WATER-THERMAL ENERGY EXTRACTION FROM IRRIGATION WATER
Authors: KIMURA SHIGEO , UTANOHARA YOICHI
Published: January 2025

A sheet-type heat exchanger has been extensively used as a device for extracting heat from the ground soil. This heat exchanger consists of polyethylene capillary tubes bundled together in a sheet, positioned between two header pipes that serve as the inlet and outlet for circulating brine. The bundled thin tubes, with an outer diameter of 6 mm and an inner diameter of 5mm, are highly flexible, allowing for easy winding and bending. This flexibility provides significant freedom in configuring the device within the soil. This paper examines the possibility of using the same heat exchanger to collect heat from water flowing in irrigation channels and rivers. We discuss an analytical method capable of predicting the performance of the heat exchanger when it is positioned parallel to the water flow. In this analysis, we employ the concept of overall heat transfer coefficient to evaluate a single polyethylene tube. Specifically, we determine the dimensionless inner convective heat transfer coefficient, known as the inner Nusselt number, for laminar flow conditions. Meanwhile, the outer convection heat transfer coefficient is derived from forced convection correlation obtained from an isothermal flat plate. Additionally, numerical simulations are conducted to account for the influence of header pipes on the flow field and to relax the assumption of a constant outer wall temperature. We find that the analytical and numerical results generally agree. Furthermore, we compare the analytically predicted results with available experimental data, revealing agreement between the predicted and experimentally obtained heat transfer rates.

Authors: IBIS AYDOGAN
Published: January 2025

Throughout history, humanity has passed through many periods, and new builds are designed in every step. The new construction builds and environments have changed their habits and habitats. Nowadays, nature requires explanations about old historic buildings and their structural systems. According to the study's latest design criteria, new structural and earthquake design models were implemented to provide the internal structures and contribute to constructional cost analysis. The regulations require natural designs, sustainable systems, and functionality, among other daily needs. Humanity has recently lost and ruined all architectural designs, disciplines, laws, and engineering criteria. Thus, humanity has tried to provide balance, find a definite solution, and create natural designs. The study discovered new criteria, models, methods, calculation ways, and explanations about life in the world. Furthermore, many ecological investments are made, and people try to support them, especially engineers, architects, and economists, who invest in natural energy. Therefore, the studies show a positive way that it can be applied in all regions worldwide, which is most effective. They contain the sustainable architecture and engineering criteria and assume the additional requirements. You can see more details below.
OPTIMAL DESIGN OF CONSTRUCTAL CONDUCTIVE PATHWAYS USING MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS
Authors: HAJMOHAMMADI MOHAMMAD REZA , LUCIA UMBERTO , GRISOLIA GIULIA , GHAREKHANI MOHAMMAD
Published: January 2025

Increasing the heat flux of future microchips requires implementing a reliable cooling system to reduce their operating temperatures. Researching better designs for high thermal conductivity pathways embedded into heat-generating components is also essential due to concerns about dimensions and costs. The present study investigates the Constructal design of highly conductive pathways embedded into a heat-generating piece using a numerical code based on finite element method (FEM) and an optimization process based on machine learning algorithms (MLAs). The inserted high thermal conductivity occupies a fixed volume fraction. Geometrical features of the highly conductive are considered the optimization variables, and minimization of the peak temperature is considered the optimization objective. To accomplish the optimization process, machine-learning algorithms are used and critically compared to determine the most efficient option among the considered ones. Finally, the optimal Constructal designs predicted by the machine-learning approach are compared with the optimal configurations generated by conventional methods.
QUANTUM MECHANICS – DETERMINISTIC VS. PROBABILISTIC
Authors: VADASZ PETER
Published: January 2025

A deterministic quantum mechanics theory is presented. The proposed theory is shown to be consistent with the current mainstream statistical quantum theory as well as with classical physics. It produces solutions that demonstrate that causality, physical reality, and determinism are restored and can explain in simple form concerns raised by results from the current mainstream statistical quantum theory. The meaning of particle-wave duality and complementarity, the possibility of a particle, like an electron, crossing through the nucleus as it does when the angular momentum of the electron is zero at the ground state of the hydrogen atom, the possibility of a point-size particle to have an “intrinsic spin,” the possibility of “quantum jumps” as the electron transitions instantaneously from one stable orbital to another without passing through the space in between the orbitals and does that at irregular time intervals. The natural collapse of the wave function as part of the solution is a result that emerges from the proposed deterministic quantum mechanics theory. The phenomenon of entanglement is also discussed in the context that information transfer between entangled “particles” does not occur in a superluminal fashion and is not a “spooky action at a distance” but rather the local measurement of global property. A linear stability method presents actual analytical solutions consistent with current mainstream quantum theory and classical physics. The Bohr-Schrödinger energy levels leading to the experimentally confirmed spectral lines and the fine structure constant emerge from an approximate solution to these equations.
TURBULENT MULTI-BRANCHING RADIAL SYMMETRIC FLOW STRUCTURES
Authors: CLEMENTE MIGUEL R.
Published: January 2025

This study builds upon previous research that developed optimized tree-shaped flow networks within disc-shaped bodies for enhanced thermal management, extending these principles to explore turbulent flow regimes. Previously, a multi-branching approach combined with strategic hydraulic diameter settings was utilized to balance thermal and fluid performance in laminar flow conditions, successfully minimizing flow resistance. These efforts revealed that symmetric tree designs could significantly boost hydraulic and thermal efficiencies via a constrained minimization approach. In the current work, the focus shifts to examining the implications of transitioning these optimized designs from laminar to turbulent flow conditions. By comparing performance metrics between the two regimes, this study aims to elucidate the effects of flow regime transitions on network efficiency and effectiveness. The results enhance understanding of the fundamental dynamics governing flow networks and guide the development of more robust designs capable of operating across a broader range of flow conditions.

The article refers to a batch of glass vessel fragments discovered on the territory of the archaeological site of Enoșești, a component locality of the city of Piatra-Olt, in Olt County. The site was discovered by chance in 1872, during the works on the Slatina – Piatra-Olt – Craiova railway sector. The archaeological researches carried out since the nineteenth century, continuing sporadically until 2007, ended with notable results regarding the civil habitation in Enoșești-Acidava, the Roman castrum being, apparently, due to natural erosion, as well as anthropogenic interventions.
The present batch of fragments of glass vessels comes from the collection of Professor Ion Ciucă, who, as a teacher at the High School in Piatra Olt, has collected over time materials discovered by chance by his students and other inhabitants of Enoșești, owing to farming and anthropogenic interventions. They represent a contribution to the study of glass containers in the province of Dacia Inferior (Malvensis).
The catalogue presented in this article includes fragments from glasses, bowls, ointment jars, mugs and cups. Regarding the place of production of glass vessels, we take into account the fact that, in Reșca-Romula, two glass melting and processing workshops were discovered, but we do not exclude that they also come from other production centres.

For thousands of years, the man has known how to use the natural riches in order to provide themselves with daily food, but also to temper pain and heal themselves. By consuming the roots, leaves and fruits of vegetables, realizing their effects on their own body, the man has progressively identified the healing effects of plants. The oldest, but also the most widespread form of traditional medicine in the world has been phytotherapy. Traditional remedies had become useful, especially when they were tried by many people and proved to be good. Thus, regarding health care and disease treatment, different traditions developed, based on empirical knowledge that was transmitted from generation to generation, inherited from generation to generation, and for many thousands of years, in their simple form, or included in the popular beliefs.
Our field research has highlighted the fact that, even today, the inhabitants of Oltenia frequently resort to popular treatment methods, phytotherapy still remaining an important means of treatment.

Published: January 2025

This paper deals with the ellipsis of a clausal complement licensed by an attitude or aspectual verb. Based on data from oral and written Romanian language corpora, this paper shows that this type of ellipsis preferentially selects an antecedent that is semantically marked alike to the omitted material. This preference correctly predicts the antecedent of the ellipsis when the context provides several grammatically possible antecedents.

COTROCENIUL ELISABETEI DOAMNA, ÎN TIMPUL RĂZBOIULUI DE INDEPENDENȚĂ
Authors:   Muzeul Național Cotroceni, DINU Ștefania
Published: January 2025

In 1877, King Charles Ist led the War of Independence from the domination of the Ottoman Empire, having the most important merits in the conduct of military operations.
The moment 1877 gave Princess Elizabeth the opportunity to support the war effort. In 1876, the „National Red Cross Society” in Romania had been founded, whose honorary president was Princess Elisabeth, and thus, even before the entry of the Russian armies into the country, the princess took care of organizing the ambulances.
In the garden of the Cotroceni Palace, two barracks-hospital for the wounded were built, with the money from Elizabeth's personal box, which could contain 100 beds, and the Cotroceni train station was transformed into a hospital with 18 beds, under the coordination of Dr. Wilhelm Kremnitz.
The experience of the war made Elizabeth the Lady know her adopted country, which called her „Mother of the Country” or „Mother of the Wounded”.
Throughout the war, Charles Ist and Elizabeth could hardly bear the fact that they were separated and wrote to each other almost daily, sharing their longing, lacks, fears and successes. In these letters, Princess Elisabeth made a series of references to the hospital barracks in the garden at Cotroceni, where seriously wounded soldiers were brought to be cared for, under her direct supervision.
The activity of helping the wounded and the involvement of Princess Elisabeth was also recorded by the press of the time, both in the country and abroad.
INIȚIATIVA ELIZEI BRĂTIANU ÎN COMBATEREA TRAFICULUI DE FEMEI ȘI A PROSTITUȚIEI, ÎN PERIOADA INTERBELICĂ
Authors:   Biblioteca Academiei Române, BĂLĂICAN Delia
Published: January 2025

Eliza Brătianu (1870-1957), the wife of Romanian prime-minister Ion I.C. Brătianu (1864-1927) took initiative to start a difficult social project: the fight against women traficking and prostitution in 1923. Her project relied on education rather than on sanctions. Eliza Brătianu was a strong supporter of changing the mentality of the young citizens living in the outskirts. She proposed the organisation of a contest to honour the most beautiful collections of songs, with lyrics worthy of being integrated into the national culture and replace the previously popular vulgar songs.
In 1923, a number of media campaigns are launched to tackle the problems of women, as it was an important year from a political standpoint as the Romanian Constitution had been adopted. Nonetheless, gender emancipation had not been a priority for the governing body as women had only partially been awarded civil rights. In the 1938 Constitution, their rights were extended to include the right to elect and be elected in representative national assemblies.
After the Great Unification on December 1st 1918, in order to supplement governmental efforts to consolidate the state politically and administratively, feminist associations in Romania collaborated with international organisations to increase efficiency of prevention measures and to combat human trafficking and prostitution.The Romanian Government was going to allign the internal legislation to the international principles established by the Society of Nations to protect women and children.
Remarkable efforts in improving the status of women were made by The Association for Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women and The National Council of Romanian Women. It is worth mentioning that Eliza Brătianu was a member of both organisations.
Eliza Brătianu’s project, relying on the principles of education and prevention in the reestablishment of morality, was resumed by the The Association for Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women.
In time, the governmental body itself became more coherent in managing the problem from the legislative, medical and police point of view, but around the beginning of the Second World War, the responsibilities were tainted with antisemitism.
Critica între condiția de „magistratură”, „cățea literară” și tămâierea béată
Authors:   Cercetător independent, Bagdasar Radu
Published: January 2025

The text discusses the roles of internal and external critique in the development of a literary work. On one hand, the creator’s intelligence, which also includes a strong critical dimension, is not identical to that of the critic, whose perspective entails a distancing and objectification that the author, considering it’s their own work, finds more challenging to adopt. The only drawback of external critique is that it arrives post facto and can only enhance the writer’s future style — thus benefiting subsequent creations, but not the one it critiques. Authentic critique plays an indispensable role as a guardian of value when it is competent, anticipatory, and constructive without being indulgent. The conclusion is that a balanced critical spirit, grounded in a broad culture allowing for diverse references, is a prerequisite for quality.

Ficțiunea distopică – divertisment sau cântec de lebădă?
Authors:   Universitatea din București, Facultatea de Litere, Roșca Mihai Robert
Published: January 2025

Dystopian and post-apocalyptic fiction stands out in the contemporary cultural landscape, both in terms of best-selling popular culture products, notably the best-selling novels or blockbuster movies aimed at an YA audience, and increasingly in the high culture sphere. The former contempt of the academia for science fiction has led to a reassessment and “repackaging” by the writers of their works as belonging to the speculative fiction genre. The inner space science fiction, sometimes rebranded as dystopian, cli-fi and post-apocalyptic fiction has gradually moved away from the outer worlds of the hard sci-fi.
Several interpretation keys can be discerned from the analysis of the dystopian genre’s profitable market, including collective anguish during what may currently seem to be the End Times, guilt for the climate collapse, spiritual masochistic pleasure, gender issues etc., keeping in mind, though, the obvious peril of oversimplification. The insertion of the love theme supports the marketable and profitable segments of the entertainment dystopian or post-apocalyptic fiction. Cultural hegemony profits from the dystopian trend in fiction and, at the same time, adiaphorizes the meaningful messages which are supposed to be put forward by critical dystopias.

Published: January 2025

Soils constitute a complex environment inhabited by numerous types of organisms and play a crucial role in the biogeochemical cycling of elements in nature. Within this environment, various types of heterotrophic microorganisms are involved in the mineralization of detrital organic matter through enzymatic processes and the recycling of constituent elements. The extracellular enzymes synthesized by these microorganisms are highly sensitive to environmental conditions, including changes induced by anthropogenic pressure. In this study, we assessed the dynamic intensity of four extracellular enzymes involved in the biogeochemical cycles of C, N, and P in multiple types of areas along the upper course of the Argeș River. Enzymatic activity was present throughout the study period at all stations. The spatial distribution of enzymatic activity varied spatially, with differences observed between the analyzed areas for each enzyme. Additionally, only alkaline phosphatase exhibited higher intensity in the summer season, while the others were more active in the spring and autumn seasons.

The treatment of the grains of 10 genotypes of common wheat with 3 filtrates of Drechlera sorokiniana culture, demonstrated the manifestation of specific reactions of the seedling, depending on the genotype, growth organ, fungus isolate. By cluster analysis (dendrograms, k-means methods) the resistant genotypes to the pathogen were identified. The factorial analysis demonstrated that in the reaction of the growth organs to D. sorokiniana isolates, the weight of the genotype factor was 38.2 ... 45%, of the isolate – 34.1 ... 38.8%. For the vigor index, a higher influence of the isolate was recorded – 42.6%, with the genotype factor returning 37.5%. The share of genotype x isolated interactions varied depending on the analyzed character of the plant within the limits of 12.3–19.3% (p 0.5). The pronounced association of fairly high values of the heritability coefficient and the genetic advantage for the growth organs reveal the additive control of resistance, which offers chances of success in the creation of genotypes resistant to the pathogen.

The motive of present article is to attract attention on conformational analysis and electronic features of 4-carboxy-3-fluorophenylboronic acid compound via computational method. To comply this, density functional theory (DFT) in combination with Becke 3-parameter Lee–Yang–Parr (B3LYP) functional was considered to identify possible conformers and hence the ground state conformation. The stability reaction of formation quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), natural bond analysis (NBO) and thermodynamical stability of dimerization of 4-carboxy-3-fluorophenylboronic acid is computed by using DFT/6-31G(d, p) method. The Eigen value of highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), and related energy bandgap were computed at B3LYP. In addition to these, thermodynamic properties and nonlinear properties (NLO) are also computed. Study of NLO (nonlinear optical behavior) reveals the nonlinear properties of the title molecule. The UV-Vis spectra of title molecule were calculated by time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT/6-31G(d, p)) on optimized geometry by same level theory. The biological activity of title molecule is computed by PASS online server which predict 4000 types of biological activities, counting pharmacological effects, mechanisms of action, toxic and adverse effects, interaction with metabolic enzymes and transporters, influence on gene expression, etc. The title molecule showed good activity against antineoplastic (0.914), peptidyl transferase inhibitor (0.969), aminoacylase inhibitor (0.960), sugar-phosphatase inhibitor (0.913), ribulose-phosphate 3-epimerase inhibitor (0.896), antiviral (0.862), TP53 expression enhancer (0.860). To determine anti-inflammatory potential, we have performed docking of title molecule with drosophila, which is a muscleblind like splicing regulator 1 (MBNL1) protein, by using Swiss dock online server.
On Shell Nouns, Specificational Constructions and Long Infinitives in Romanian
Authors:   Universiteit Gent/Université Paris 3 Sorbonne-Nouvelle, Vajnovszki Anais , Van Peteghem Marleen ,   Universiteit Gent
Published: January 2025

This article focuses on the specificational long infinitive construction in Romanian (Soluția este de găsire a unui serviciu ‘The solution is finding a job’) and the shell nouns it can welcome. It examines the differences between this construction and other specificational constructions containing the long (găsire ‘finding’) and the short infinitive (a găsi ‘to find’). It shows that the construction under study is mainly used to background the internal argument of the long infinitive. It also shows that the lexeme in the noun slot is not always a typical shell noun. However, in this case, the long infinitive constituent no longer expresses a propositional content, but gives rise to several other interpretations. Our analysis is based on 200 randomized occurrences from the roTenTen corpus.

Authors:   University of Bucharest, Preda Mariana
Published: January 2025

The study analyzes two opposite current language facts: syneresis and dieresis. The two phenomena represent current problems in Romanian. The objective of the study is to notice the variation of the pairs [au]-[aw] and [ua]-[wa] within the controlled discourse according to duration. Our results show that the duration of the hiatus is longer than that of the diphthong. In the case of the analyzed sequences, the duration of the hiatus /au/ is longer than the duration of the hiatus /ua/. In the case of the diphthong /aw/ it has a longer duration than the diphthong /wa/.
Agreement with Collective Nouns in English and Romanian: A Silent Noun and Distributional Approach
Authors:   University of Bucharest, Bleotu Adina Camelia
Published: January 2025

The current study looks at agreement with collective nouns with functional heads (such as mulţime ‘multitude’/ multitude) and semi-lexical heads (such as poliţie ‘police’/ police) in English and Romanian. Regarding collective nouns with functional heads, both English and Romanian allow both singular and plural agreement. However, while English allows both singular and plural agreement with collectives with semi-lexical collective heads, Romanian only allows singular agreement. The study proposes a silent noun and distributional account to explain this puzzling behaviour. On the one hand, it argues that all collective nouns involve two nominals, but NP2 may be silent. On the other hand, it argues that collectives with a semi-lexical first nominal are subject to a crosslinguistic agreement parameter, such that in English, agreement is variable, while in Romanian, it is not. One possible reason for this difference could be related to whether the second nominal in a collective is subject-like or not. In English, both nominals in a collective extended projection may be subjects (the first is a DP, and the second is a bare noun). In Romanian, however, only the first nominal (DP1) can be a subject, while the second (NP2) cannot, since bare nouns typically do not function as subjects in Romanian. Because of this, in semi-lexical collective nouns, Romanian speakers realize agreement only with the subject-like DP1.
Sensitivity to Underinformativity with Romanian Bare Partitives
Authors:   University of Bucharest, Stoicescu Ioana
Published: January 2025

This study presents Romanian bare partitives (BPs) in contrast to other bare partitive constructions and it shows that they share features with generalized partitives. The study also investigates the generation of scalar implicatures (SIs) by Romanian bare partitives in comparison to overt partitive structures in which the upper nominal contains a part quantificational noun. The Neo-Gricean and Post-Gricean approaches to SIs make opposite predictions with respect to these constructions. Through an experimental approach, the study finds that BP constructions in Romanian give rise to SIs about half of the time overt part noun partitive structures do. The results provide support for the Post-Gricean approach to SIs, according to which scalar implicature are not elicited easily because they come with extra computational costs. A second factor that lowers the rate of SI responses for BPs is their atelic, process interpretation.
For Cackles and Giggles: The Joys of Translating Collective Nouns
Authors:   University of Bucharest, Drăgan Ruxandra

Collective nouns for groups of animals are pseudo-partitives with considerable semantic variation in English, ranging from garden-variety items (a pack of wolves, a herd of elephants, a flock of geese, etc.) to exotic coinages (a shiver of sharks, an exaltation of larks, etc.). In contrast, the Romanian lexical inventory is by far poorer, including only standard collective nouns (o cireadă de vaci (‘a herd of cattle’) o turmă de oi (‘a flock of sheep’), o haită de lupi (‘a pack of wolves’), etc.). Building on these lexical gaps, the article explores the translation strategies rendering English collective nouns into Romanian and the syntactic patterns they generate. It is argued that the frequent lack of equivalent forms in Romanian forces translators to resort to various compensation mechanisms with both shortening and lengthening syntactic effects, though semantic implicitation appears to be the norm (Blum-Kulka 1986, Klaudy and Karoly 2005, Klaudy 2003, 2009).

We present a technique that can be used in the study of a conjecture by Danilov
and Koshevoy, concerning triples (A,B,C) of n×n complex selfadjoint matrices
such that C = A + B. The conjecture proposes an explicit formula, in terms
of traces of compressions of A and B, for one associated hive. We also use this
technique to show why an earlier attempt to prove the conjecture fails for n = 4.

In this article, we survey recent results concerning non-stability of discrete groups
with respect to the operator norm. We focus on topological obstructions to
perturbing almost representations of a discrete group Γ into unitary groups U(n)
to true representations. Several natural notions of stability are discussed: localto-
local stability, uniform-to-uniform stability, uniform-to-local stability, and C∗-
stability.

The polynomials u on Rd (d ≥ 2) that satisfy the equation xd ·Δu+k · ∂u ∂xd
= 0
(k ∈ R) are called k-modified harmonic. In this article, we study the dimension
of the space of homogeneous such polynomials of a fixed degree.
Surfing. An Emergent Terminology in Romanian

SURFING. AN EMERGENT TERMINOLOGY IN ROMANIAN Abstract The text analyzes the emerging terminology of the sport of surfing in Romanian, focusing on how the language adapts to new linguistic and sporting realities. Recently introduced in international competitions like the 2024 Olympic Games, surfing has generated a complex terminology, much of which is made up of Anglicisms. The paper explores how these neologisms are integrated into Romanian and whether significant terminological variations exist, identifying three main stages of integration: the isolated use of foreign terms, their linguistic assimilation, and the creative use of loanwords to form new terms. Furthermore, the paper highlights the role of Anglicisms and their adaptation into hybrid Romanian-English structures, emphasizing the need to document and systematize emerging sports terminologies, as it has been done in other sports domains by means of international publications and specialized dictionaries. The study is aimed at linguists, translators, and those interested in the dynamics of sports language in Romanian, underscoring the importance of neology and linguistic borrowing in creating a suitable vocabulary for new sports.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects motor and non-motor functions, including oral health. This longitudinal study aimed to investigate the oral health status of PD patients in Semarang, Indonesia, and its association with disease severity over time.
Methods: A cohort of 100 PD patients diagnosed according to the UK Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank criteria were recruited from the Neurology Clinic of Private Hospital, Semarang. Oral health assessments, including Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index, periodontal status, and oral hygiene habits, were conducted at baseline and annually for three years. Disease severity was assessed using the Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) scale and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression models.
Results: The majority of PD patients exhibited poor oral hygiene and a high prevalence of dental caries and periodontal disease. DMFT scores and periodontal indices worsened significantly over the three-year follow-up period. Disease severity, as measured by H&Y stage and UPDRS scores, was significantly correlated with poorer oral health status. Regression analysis revealed that higher UPDRS scores at baseline predicted a more rapid decline in oral health over time.
Conclusion: PD patients in Semarang, Indonesia, experience significant oral health challenges that are associated with disease severity and progression. These findings highlight the need for integrated oral healthcare in the management of PD to improve patients' overall quality of life.
