Il Musil di Claudio Magris
Authors: Di Noi Barbara
Published: September 2021

This paper discusses the importance and frequency of Magris’ explorations of Musil and his major work as a novelist, Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften. It investigates the reasons why Musil’s novel is so important, and not only so for the Germanist. Indeed, Musil’s work and its interpretation can also be considered as a kind of ‘model’ for the writer that Magris would become later on in his career. The paper focuses on different features of Musil’s masterpiece, which better meet Magris’ ideal of diegesis, and somehow subvert the classic and rational paradigm of the Bildungsroman, pointing to the magic realism of a writer like Borges.
Claudio Magris e il mondo nordico. Uno scambio fecondo
Authors: Culeddu Sara
Published: September 2021

The current article is aimed to outline a first review of the solid relationship of Claudio Magris with the Nordic world, both from the perspective of his reception in Denmark, Norway and Sweden and from the study of his fecund encounter with the works of authors like Henrik Ibsen, Knut Hamsun, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Jens Peter Jacobsen, Herman Bang and others. These authors, whose works were partially translated by Magris, eventually played a meaningful role in his own writing. Besides affirming himself as a relevant voice in the Scandinavian context, his work as a mediator for Nordic literature has made him a reference point for Scandinavian studies in our country.
Vie e voci delle diaspore nella narrativa di Claudio Magris
Authors: Musarra-Schrøder Ulla
Published: September 2021

Diaspora is one of the most important themes in Claudio Magris’ works, including its interrelations with issues of exile, emigration, deportation. The Jewish Diaspora is the main topic of many of Magris’ essays and essayistic works, in particular Lontano da dove (1971). In other works, such as Microcosmi (1992) and the great novel Alla cieca (2005), Magris visits other diasporas, such as the exodus of thousands of Italians from Istria and Dalmatia. His recent novel Non luogo a procedere (2015) brings together the Jewish Diaspora and the African Diasporas through centuries of colonization epically and symbolically materialized in the figure of Luisa Brooks, the novel’s female protagonist.
«Il segreto e la sua custodia sono un elemento fondamentale del potere». Non luogo a procedere
Authors: Pellegrini Ernestina
Published: September 2021

The contribution reworks an essay published in the journal «LEA» (2015) through combining it with a short paper presented at a Conference (2019) introducing readings of excerpts from Magris’ Non luogo a procedere. The essay also adds some critical considerations suggested by more recent studies published at an international level close to the translations and corresponds to the conclusion of the second Meridiano of Mondadori devoted to the writer’s works. It takes on a sum of knowledge that transformed it, gradually assuming a somewhat exorbitant dimension. A work represents for Magris the sea into which all the rivers of writing have flowed, just as for Pirandello with his Uno, nessuno e centomila.
Un’educazione all’umano. Letteratura e ideologia in Claudio Magris
Authors: Fastelli Federico
Published: September 2021

The essay discusses Magris’ idea of literature through his theoretical interventions. In particular, it addresses the crucial issue in the writer’s work, concerning the complex relationship between political commitment and artistic activity. The result is a surprising reflection on the ideological function of literary texts and on the tasks of the writer in the contemporary world.
«Il cybernauta è naufragato». Rappresentazioni del tecnologico nell’opera di Claudio Magris
Authors: Rebora Simone
Published: September 2021

This essay traces and analyses the various representations of technology in Claudio Magris’ work. From the answering machines of Le voci to the war machines of Non luogo a procedere, a controversial and conflicting relationship has always been established between the protagonists of Magris’ narratives and the various declinations of technological progress. The essay explores the concepts of cognitive sciences and digital humanities (such as the “extended mind” and word embeddings), while also referring to Magris’ own reflections on writing and figureheads, to illustrate the profoundly ethical value of the relationship established between human beings and the tools that they create.
The genus Salacia (Celastraceae: Salaciodeae) in peninsular India
Authors: Nandikar Mayur Dhondiram
Published: September 2021

The genus Salacia (Celastraceae: Salaciodeae) in peninsular India is revised, wherein ten species are recognised. Eight species are endemic to the region. Salacia macrophylla and S. reticulata are excluded from the revision as occurrence of both the species is doubtful in mainland India. Salacia macrosperma exhibits great variation in leaf shape, flower number, pedicel length and fruit texture, hence the morphologically similar species S. beddomei and S. vellaniana are relegated to its synonymy. Descriptions, photographs, and pen and ink as well as colour drawings of all recognised Salacia species are provided with an artificial key, updated nomenclature, and synonymy. Distribution and IUCN Red list categories and criteria are also discussed. Seven binomials, S. fruticosa, S. macrophylla, S. macrosperma, S. oblonga, S. ovalis, Tontelea prinoides and Johnia coromadeliana are lectotypified.

Published: September 2021

Cienfuegos Botanical Garden is the oldest functioning botanical institution of Cuba. It was established originally as a joint endeavor between sugar magnate Edwin F. Atkins and Harvard University in 1901. Between 1925 and 1934, the research yacht Utowana performed ample plant germplasm collections for the USDA in the New and Old World as well as archeological and zoological surveys in the Neotropics. The botanical expeditions were conducted mostly, under the leadership of David Fairchild. In this contribution we review to what extent Utowana expeditions and collections were instrumental in building the living collections of Cienfuegos Botanical Garden. A total of 278 accessions (comprising 254 species) were introduced into this garden directly or indirectly through these expeditions. Currently 57 of these species (132 individuals) are still part of its living collections. Interestingly, five of the Caribbean expeditions of this research yacht carried plant material between the Cienfuegos Botanical Garden and two other botanic gardens that were operated by US entities, namely the Lancetilla Botanical Garden in Honduras (owned by the United Fruit Company) and the Summit Gardens in Panama City (managed by the Panama Canal governmental agency). Our study also shows that plant material collected during Utowana expeditions was sent from Old World and Caribbean Island botanic gardens to Cienfuegos Botanical Garden. Thomas Barbour, director of this botanical institution between 1927 and 1946 joined four of these plant hunting endeavors. He provided strong support for the growing of the Cienfuegos Botanical Garden living collections with plant material collected during Utowana expeditions.
Impacts of previous crops on inoculum of Fusarium culmorum in soil, and development of foot and root rot of durum wheat in Tunisia

Published: September 2021

Fusarium foot and root rot (FFRR) of cereals, caused by Fusarium culmorum and other Fusarium spp., is one of the most important soil- and residue-borne diseases in Tunisia. Management of the disease relies primarily on cultural practices such as crop rotation. Impacts of previous crops on the population of F. culmorum in the soil, and the incidence and severity of FFRR in durum wheat, were evaluated under Tunisian farming systems. A field trial showed that break crops of faba bean and fenugreek reduced the amount of F. culmorum DNA in soil, by 58% (faba bean) and 65% (fenugreek), and decreased numbers of F. culmorum propagules per g of soil by 83% (faba bean) and 85% (fenugreek). Farm demonstration trials also showed that faba bean and vetch used as previous crops reduced F. culmorum inoculum in the soil. Non-cereal crops also reduced the incidence of F. culmorum present in durum wheat roots and stem bases. The greatest grain yields and thousand kernel weights were recorded when faba bean and vetch were used as previous crops, but were less where durum wheat was previously grown. There were strong correlations between inoculum level of F. culmorum in the soil and incidence of FFRR in the following year. Results obtained in the field trial were supported by those collected from three demonstration farm trials during two cropping seasons. This study demonstrated for the first time in Tunisia and the Mediterranean region that break crops are effective for reducing F. culmorum inoculum in the soil and decreasing the pathogen in wheat roots and stem bases. Inoculum levels in soil can predict the expression of the disease in the following year in Tunisian farming conditions. These results are likely to be useful for developing and implementing guidelines for the management of FFRR of durum wheat.

Published: September 2021

Phytoplasma symptoms, including proliferation, witches’ broom, leaf rolling and yellowing, were observed in jujube (Ziziphus jujube) nurseries in the East of Iran. Total nucleic acid was extracted from symptomatic and symptomless plants, and was tested for phytoplasma presence using nested PCR. Amplicons of about 1.8 kb (primer pair P1/P7) and 1.25 kb (R16F2n/R16R2) were obtained from all symptomatic plants but not from symptomless plants. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of R16F2n/R2 amplicons using KpnI, HaeIII, RsaI, AluI, HpaII, HhaI, TaqI, MseI, BfaI and ThaI restriction enzymes showed two RFLP patterns referable to 16SrI and 16SrVI phytoplasma groups. The consensus sequences of Z. jujube yellowing and witches’ broom of six samples correspond to ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris’ and ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma trifolii’-related strains. Two R16F2n/R16R2 16S rDNA sequences representative of each RFLP profile, one each from witches’ broom (accession number MK379605) and yellowing (MK379604) host symptoms, were submitted to the GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the phytoplasma strains associated with jujube yellowing clustered within the 16SrI phytoplasma clade, and those associated with witches’ broom clustered within the 16SrVI clade. Restriction analysis confirmed that virtual RFLP patterns of the jujube yellowing and witches’ broom phytoplasma strains were identical to the reference pattern of 16SrI-B and 16SrVI-A. This is the first report of these phytoplasma strains associations with witches’ broom and yellowing in jujube plants.
A non-pathogenic strain of Fusarium oxysporum and grape marc compost control Verticillium wilt of olive
Authors: MULERO-APARICIO Antonio , TRAPERO Antonio , LÓPEZ-ESCUDERO Francisco Javier
Published: September 2021

Verticillium wilt of olive (VWO), caused by the widespread soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae Kleb., is currently the most serious disease affecting olive trees (Olea europaea L.) in all production areas. An integrated management strategy using eco-friendly approaches such as genetic resistance and biological control is considered the most advisable approach for controlling the disease in commercial olive orchards. This study evaluated a non-pathogenic strain of F. oxysporum (FO12) and the grape marc compost CGR03 for reducing inoculum density of V. dahliae and the disease progress in two olive cultivars with different VWO resistance levels. The experiment was conducted under semi-controlled conditions, using a naturally infested soil with two inoculum densities of V. dahliae. The biocontrol treatments (FO12 and CGR03) were previously selected out of 220 natural products as two of the most effective treatments against the pathogen. FO12 and CGR03 treatments significantly reduced pathogen inoculum density in comparison with that of the control (P = 0.05), with minimum microsclerotium amounts of 0.13 g-1 for FO12 and 0.53 g-1 for CGR03, during the experimental period. CGR03 reduced the progression of the disease compared with that in the control (P = 0.05), and FO12 achieved complete control of VWO, since no plants treated with this biological control strain developed VWO symptoms. This study highlights the effectiveness of these biocontrol treatments, and the potential use of eco-friendly approaches for control of VWO.

Este escrito trata acerca de la novela Con sangre de hermanos. Demuestra cómo los personajes primero son profundamente afectados por la represión de la Guardia Nacional somocista. Luego ellos afrontan los traumas y las disociaciones de una forma no ética: asesinando y persiguiendo a los miembros de la oposición. Más aun, los sandinistas parecen anuentes a ser “zonas grises” y a sacrificarse a sí mismos por el partido izquierdista. Culmina el escrito con un FSLN (Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional) alimentado por los crímenes y las traiciones contra sus propios miembros. En conclusión, tenemos que el libro se estructura como una novela de perpetradores.
O Percurso Invisível de Açorianos no Brasil do Século XIX
Authors: Passamani Mariano Fabiene , Dadalto Maria Cristina
Published: September 2021

O início do século XIX foi um período de intensas mudanças políticas, econômicas e socioculturais no Brasil, decorrentes de uma nova mentalidade de desenvolvimento da Colônia, posta em curso após a chegada da família Real Portuguesa. Com essa nova perspectiva, a Capitania do Espírito Santo despontou no cenário nacional e, em 1813, foi fundada a Colônia Agrícola de Viana, na qual foram fixados imigrantes portugueses naturais das Ilhas dos Açores. As famílias açorianas, além de buscarem sucesso econômico e social, também trouxeram em suas bagagens culturais a Festa do Divino Espírito Santo. O debate, em questão, objetiva a descrição e a análise do processo de povoamento do qual participaram os açorianos estabelecidos na cidade de Viana-ES. Diferente do que ocorre em outras localidades do Brasil (especialmente na Região Sul), a produção de pesquisas e de trabalhos acadêmicos sobre o assunto ainda é restrita e bastante recente. Contudo, pouco a pouco, os açorianos têm sido incluídos na configuração do mosaico identitário capixaba. O marco teórico-metodológico deste artigo está fundamentado na revisão crítica de fontes bibliográficas sobre os açorianos, no contexto do Espírito Santo.
Impressões da São Paulo nordestina: Entre territórios e identidades no imaginário coletivo
Authors: Barbosa Angelo Elis Regina
Published: September 2021

O objetivo dessa análise está centrado na busca de elementos do imaginário social que definem as identidades culturais nordestinas formadas e mantidas fora do nordeste, em especial em São Paulo, um dos maiores centros de concentração de migrantes, no qual a religiosidade, a festividade e as imagens simbólicas desse imaginário formam espaços e palcos privilegiados para processos simbólico-territoriais de regionalização a partir de práticas culturais e devocionais que viajaram pelo Brasil e se alocaram na maior cidade do país. Dessa forma, foram privilegiadas para análise e interpretação, as formas de concepção desses lugares, suas definições e contornos na (trans)formação dos traços da cultura nordestina incluindo sotaques, cores, sabores, memórias e religiosidade nas maiores concentrações de nordestinos fora do seu lugar de produção de sentido. A partir dessas referências e representações culturais foram vislumbradas suas principais relações e sentidos na construção do imaginário para a sociedade. Como metodologia privilegiou-se a análise de imagens de lugares de memória e territórios que contemplam experiências e memórias migrantes, além de revisão bibliográfica sobre a produção das identidades. Como resultados se esmeram reflexões sobre a ideia de manutenção das identidades migrantes em outras terras por meio do imaginário coletivo.
Discounting Life: The Impact of Gender, Race, Domestic Violence, and Ideal Victim Status on Second Degree Murder Sentencing in Canada
Authors:   ,   University of Winnipeg Library, Belisle Breanna
Published: September 2021

Scholars, the media, and the public have been concerned about differing values placed on crime victims on the basis of social factors such as gender, race, and domestic violence affiliation. Some academics argue that specific victim attributes result in more punitive sentencing to be imposed, particularly if the victim is constructed as “ideal”. An ideal victim is one who is socially constructed as more “worthy” than another victim of crime based on personal attributes, behaviors and situational aspects of their victimization. International and domestic Canadian sentencing research, however, has demonstrated inconsistent results regarding the role of key victim attributes of gender, race and domestic violence status in sentencing. This study uses the theoretical perspective of social constructionism to guide an assessment of what impact victim gender, race, and domestic violence affiliation may have on sentencing and evaluate the effect of other “ideal victim” factors on court sanctions. The research design also considers the perspective of legal rationalism and the influence of legal factors such as past criminal history, as well as aggravating and mitigating circumstances considered by judges in their sentencing decision. The study uses the crime of second-degree murder and the outcome of parole ineligibility length to test research hypotheses. Through legal case reports and media coverage, data was gathered on victim and offender demographic, social situation and legal background data on 259 cases of second degree murder from 1980-2017. There was little support for the influence of race and domestic violence attributes on murder sentencing. Gender did appear to increase sentence punitivity, even after control variables were introduced. Consistent with past research, demographic factors and ideal victim situational factors showed mostly weak effects on sentencing, while legal predictors such as prior criminal history, other aggravating and mitigating factors explained considerably more variance in parole ineligibility. Given the high evidentiary burden of second degree murder and its seriousness as a crime, it may be an offence less likely to show bias at the point of sentence. Researchers investigating bias might be better served examining manslaughter, assault and less serious offences. Given the limited evidence of domestic violence bias, it may be that governments should provide more resources directly to family violence offenders for rehabilitation and victims for social support. Finally, results should be interpreted cautiously given sampling limitations.

Published: September 2021

The purpose of this research is to explore the history and process of development and application of Pancasila democracy in Indonesia. The concept of Pancasila democracy in legal development in Indonesia is based on kinship and mutual cooperation aimed at the welfare of the people, which contains elements of religious awareness, based on truth, love and noble character, has an Indonesian personality and is sustainable. The research method used is normative legal research using library materials. The development of democracy experiences fluctuations that affect the joints of social life. The implementation of Pancasila democracy in Indonesia is characterized by religious nationalism, not secular nationalism. The concept of Pancasila democracy does not originate from the notion of individualism that has developed in the west, although it cannot be denied that liberal values ​​that shape democracy in the west, such as equal rights for citizens, freedom of opinion as the main pillar of democracy have a strong influence on the enrichment of Pancasila democracy.

Stability Analysis and Robust H∞ Filtering for Discrete-time Nonlinear Systems with Time-varying Delays
Authors: Ding Mengying , Dong Yali
Published: September 2021

In this paper, we investigate the problem of robust H∞ filter design for a class of discrete-time nonlinear systems. The systems under consider involves time-varying delays and parameters uncertainties. The main objective is to design a linear full-order filter to ensure that the resulting filtering error system is asymptotically stable with a prescribed H∞ performance level. By constructing an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, some novel sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the filter error dynamics system is robust asymptotically stable with H∞ performance γ , and the H∞ filter is designed in term of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the efficiency of proposed method.

Authors: Prayudhy Yushananta  , Mei Ahyanti  , Yetti Anggraini
Published: September 2021

Background. Stunting is a critical public health problem in Indonesia because it affects cognitive andphysical development and contributes to child mortality. This study aims to identify risk factors for stuntingin children aged 6-59 in the horticultural area. Methods. A case-control study was conducted to compareprevious exposure between stunted children and non-stunted children. Measurements and interviews wereconducted with 160 participants (120 controls and 40 cases), including mothers or caregivers. SPSS wasused for X2 statistical analysis, multiple logistic regression, and odds ratios. Results. The study identifiedfour risk factors for stunting: children who were born short (AOR = 17.57; 95% CI: 5.02-61.51), LBW(AOR = 4.35; 95% CI: 1.38-13, 78), and got a low protein intake (AOR = 4.96; 95% CI: 1.22-20.26).Significantly, a relationship between stunting and access to sanitation was also found (AOR = 6.06; 95%CI: 1.25-29.35). Conclusion. The risk factors for stunting in children aged 6-59 are related to nutritionduring pregnancy and the child’s quality of food. Nutrition interventions should emphasize improving thenutritional status of pregnant women and children and women empowering to affect access to resources andallocations for children’s nutrition.

COVID-19 is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). First identifiedin Wuhan, China, in December 2019, and declared an International Public Health Emergency in January2020, the WHO declared a pandemic in March 2020. Hypertension, a disease that has long been a problemfor most people in Indonesia and around the world . COVID-19 can affect blood pressure control for peoplewith hypertension due to obstruction of the RAAS system. This research was conducted to find out whateffect COVID-19 has on blood pressure control in people with hypertension. In the condition of COVID-19patients with comorbid hypertension, SARS-CoV-2 which attacks ACE2 can eliminate the role of ACE2 inthe RAAS system. Inhibition of ACE2 can also cause buildup of angiotensin II which has a vasoconstrictiveeffect. This results in the absence of homeostasis in the blood pressure control system and makes bloodpressure conditions that continue to be at high pressure.

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of World health cases that is commonlyknown, which is triggered by the combination of environmental factors especially cigarette smoking andgenetic factors. The association between A disintegrin and metalloprotease 33 (ADAM33) polymorphismsand COPD has been investigated and reported by other researchers. Objective: The main aim of this study isto identify the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ADAM 33 gene with COPDin the Javanese population in Lampung, Indonesia. Methods: A randomized cross-sectional study was usedin this research. PCR-Sequencing method was involved to analyze the polymorphic for three SNPs (T1, T2,and Q-1) of the ADAM33 gene. Statistical analysis data was performed in descriptive and comparative aswell as it was measured by parametric/non-parametric tests. Results: The results showed that the T2 GG,and T1AG genotypes in COPD group were significantly more frequent rather than in control group (p <0.05). In case of allele, it was found that the T1G and T2G was higher in COPD group rather than in thecontrol group (p = 0.440 and 0.131, respectively). Conclusion: The results clearly conclude that there wassignificant association between T1 and T2 polymorphisms of ADAM33 gene and COPD in the Javanesepopulation of Lampung, Indonesia.

Published: September 2021

Gastroenteritis is one of the words serious public health problem, and enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus aureusis one of the causes of gastroenteritis. The aim of this study was the molecular detection of enterotoxigenicgenes in Staphylococcus aureus, then detection the association of resistance patterns with the toxigenicityof strains. Microbiological analysis of fecal samples from patients with gastroenteritis was performed fordetection of S. aureus. The samples were cultured and identified by routine bacteriological methods andVITEK 2 system. Subsequently PCR amplification of enterotoxin genes (sea and seb) was carried outon all S. aureus strains. The results indicated that in total of 417 fecal samples taken from patients withacute gastroenteritis, 30 grew S. aureus (7.19%), and of 417 fecal samples 96 yielded bacterial pathogens(23.02%), S. aureus was the most common bacterial pathogen found in 30/96 cases (31.25%). In 30 isolatedof S. aureus, penicillin sensitive S. aureus were 2 (6.67%), methicillin sensitive S. aureus were 19 (63.33%),multidrug resistant S. aureus were 12 (40%), methicillin resistant S. aureus were 11 (36.67%), Extensivedrug resistance were 3 (10%), and none of them was pan drug resistant,and all isolates were sensitive tovancomycin. The PCR results showed that 7/30 (23.33%) of the S. aureus isolates possessed the sea gene,and 3/30 (10 %) had the seb gene. In total of 30 isolates Staphylococcal enterotoxin genes sea and seb weremore prevalent among methicillin resistant S. aureus were 6/11 (54.54%), 3/11 (27.27%) respectively, thenin multidrug resistant S. aureus which were 6/12 (50%), and 3/12 (25%) respectively, and in Extensivelydrug resistance S. aureus sea was1/3 (33.33%) and there is no seb genes, while in methicillin sensitive S.aureus sea was 1/19 (5.26%), and there is no seb genes, and there was no Staphylococcal enterotoxin genessea and seb in penicillin sensitive S. aureus. The result confirmed the involvement of enterotoxigenic S.aureus in the occurrence of gastroenteritis, and isolates with enterotoxin genes have a higher drug resistancerate.
