Goethe – báseň i právo
Authors: Seltenreich Radim
Published: July 2023

The author deals in his article with the relation of the famous German poet J. W. Goethe towards the law. First, he depicts his legal studies in Leipzig and Strasbourg which were finished with the formulation of the thesis which helps us to learn about his opinions on some important legal problems of that time. After this the author makes us familiar with Goethe’s short working in the role of the counsel in native Frankfurt and much longer activity of office holder in Weimar duchy. Here his career advancement and the problems J. W. Goethe met at this occasion are analysed. The following part of the text is devoted to the problematics of the contract between Faust and Mephistopheles from the legal point of view. At the end of the article the author finally deals with some Goethe’s opinions on the political and mainly to the state law related matters of his time.
Politik a právnik Nándor Bernolák (1880–1951)
Authors: Halász Ivan
Published: July 2023

The article deals with the life and political views of Ferdinad/Nándor Bernolák, who was the rector of the new university in Debrecen before the First World War. He later served as Minister of Social Affairs in the conservative government of István Bethlen. N. Bernolák was born in Banská Bystrica and his family was of Slovak ethnic origin, but he and his brothers were of Hungarian nationality. Bernolák was a professor of penal law and a prominent member of the Hungarian conservative and Christian nationalist political wing, however, he spent only two years in parliament and government. After his political career, he worked as a lawyer in Budapest and sometimes represented his clients in very sensitive cases. He also worked as a private lecturer at the University of Budapest. N. Bernolák published mainly on penal law and legal theory. His son was an official in the Prime Minister’s Office from the 1930s to the late 1940s. The life and political career of N. Bernolák is a good example to present the career of a Hungarian lawyer in the complex and sensitive 20th century.
Rudolf Wierer – pohnuté životní osudy a dílo profesora církevního práva Právnické fakulty Masarykovy univerzity
Authors: Tauchen Jaromír
Published: July 2023

The article provides a detailed analysis of life and professional career of Rudolf Wierer (1907–1986), professor of canon law at the Faculty of Law of Masaryk University. Based on an analysis of archival materials from several Czech archives and a critical study of the memoirs of Wierer’s wife Bohumila, the article provides brand new biographical information about Rudolf Wierer that have never been published before. After the end of the Second World War, Wierer was investigated in Czechoslovakia as a part of the so-called retributive trials for his alleged activities during the period the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. He was never convicted, however, because he managed to escape to Germany, where he became involved in Czechoslovak exile organizations and resumed his academic career as a professor at the Ukrainian Free University. In the 1960s he emigrated to the United States, where he held lectures on history at first and later worked as a librarian.
The Effect of Wages on Human Capital and its Virtuous Dynamic Cycle
Authors: Lartigue Mendoza Jacques , Domínguez Salomón
Published: July 2023

This paper provides economic theory with a dynamic structural model that mathematically proves both a positive effect of wages on the workers’ human capital intertemporal investment decisions and the existence of a virtuous dynamic cycle between wages and human capital.Among the desired characteristics of the proposed model is that it has an analytical solution, permitting the  achievement of an optimal decision rule for each choice variable and the calibration of its parameters using observed data; this favors an easy implementation by policymakers and researchers. The constructed statistics and the results of the empirical application of the model, to the Mexican developing economy, support the  mathematical conclusions. The model predicts two  benchmark human capital gross returns and their  corresponding wages, by levels of education. Below the  second one, human capital coming from formal education  vanishes over time, due to investment not being enough to  offset its depreciation; below the first one, workers stop  investing in education. Unfortunately, around 40%  and 20% of Mexican workers are located below them,  respectively.
The rise and fall of the phlogiston theory: a tool to explain the use of models in science education
Authors: Mamlok-Naaman Rachel
Published: July 2023

The phlogiston theory was established around 1700 and lasted for about one hundred years. According to the Phlogiston Theory, phlogiston is released during heating processes, and the remaining material becomes lighter. The demise of this theory started with Lavoisier’s new insights into the phenomena of chemical reactions in general and combustion in particular, as well as about the composition of air. The rise and fall of the Phlogiston theory is a good example to the process of the replacement of one theory by another, due to new facts and new discoveries. In addition, it stresses the advantages and limitations of scientific models and theories, as well as the nature of science. A brief program, planned for two lessons, was developed around the Phlogiston Theory, in the framework of teaching and learning the “Science: An Ever-Developing Entity” program. Semi-structured interviews with teachers and students were conducted after the completion of the Phlogiston topic. Based on the findings, it is suggested that the brief program, reached its goals. The students, who studied the program, learned more about the scientists – their curiosity and their boldness, as well as about the scientific endeavor, consisting of discoveries, models and theories.

. By combining a “see-saw” argument with the Siegel–Weil formula, we show that its (regularized) integral along a torus attached to a totally real field of degree N is the diagonal restriction of an Eisenstein series. It allows us to express the Fourier coefficients of the diagonal restriction as intersection numbers, which generalizes a result of Darmon, Pozzi and Vonk to totally real fields.
German Firms in International Trade: Evidence from Recent Microdata
Authors: Fauth Matthias , Jung Benjamin , Kohler Wilhelm
Published: July 2023

In this paper, we zoom in on the firm level of German merchandise foreign trade, using a novel data base with information on the export and import value by firm, country, product and year for the period 2011–2019. Problems arising from the consolidated reporting of taxable entities and the reporting thresholds present in intra-EU trade have been largely eliminated through redistributions conducted by DESTATIS. Using the data, we examine howglobalGerman firms are by looking at the joint distribution of the number of products they trade and the number of countries they trade with. Moreover, we examine the importance of firms mainly engaged in trade intermediation, as opposed to production. Most importantly, we provide a rich description of heterogeneity among German firms by decomposing their trade relationships into intensive margins (value of trade) and extensive margins (number of firms, products and countries). We describe the distributions for each margin, distinguishing intra-EU and extra-EU trade as well as different firm types (producers, wholesalers, retailers). Finally, we reveal strong positive correlations between and within importing and exporting margins, supporting the presence of firm-level complementarities implied by recent theory.

Authors: Hu Hongtao , Xu Lei , Guo Xiang , Teng Haijun , Liu Wenhua
Published: July 2023

Metastatic diseases of the spine are becoming increasingly common with an aging population and improvements in systemic cancer therapies. Microwave and vertebroplasty are the mainstay modalities for treating painful spine metastases. Most early spinal metastases predominantly attack the adnexa, but there are few reports on its treatment. This report presents a case of a 56-year-old female who had experienced severe thoracic back pain for several days and was diagnosed with a metastatic tumor of the right transverse process of T7. Percutaneous microwave ablation in combination with bone cement injection was used to treat the metastatic tumor under CT guidance. The postoperative pain on the Visual Analogue Scale was 1/10, without nerve or vessel damage and bone cement leakage during the operation.

Development of a gray box system identification model to estimate the parameters affecting traffic accidents
Authors: Zargari Shahriar Afandizadeh , Rad Hamid Bigdeli
Published: July 2023

In this study, the gray box method has been used to model traffic accidents for the first time. This work examines the problem of estimating and identifying a single-input single-output state-space system. In this way, the state-space model was used, which has both a black box section (experimental data) and the parameters have been estimated by acquiring prior knowledge (white box). First, the state-space of the desired system is formed, and the algorithm for estimating the parameters and their convergence and the state vector estimation algorithm are written. In comparison, the system changes from nonlinear to linear. The parameters and prior knowledge are entered from the system. Finally, by implementing the presented method on the data related to the factors affecting accidents in Qazvin (Iran), the accuracy of the presented materials is investigated. The error output shows that initially, the error increased slightly, but then it shows a downward trend, and with the increase in the data, the error tends to zero (0.658). The results also show good fit and optimal accuracy of the model in less processing time.

The stochastic integral used throughout the paper is a divergence-type integral.
Improving the accuracy and internal consistency of regression-based clustering of high-dimensional datasets
Authors: Zhang Bo , He Jianghua , Hu Jinxiang , Chalise Prabhakar , Koestler Devin C.
Published: July 2023

Component-wise Sparse Mixture Regression (CSMR) is a recently proposed regression-based clustering method that shows promise in detecting heterogeneous relationships between molecular markers and a continuous phenotype of interest. However, CSMR can yield inconsistent results when applied to high-dimensional molecular data, which we hypothesize is in part due to inherent limitations associated with the feature selection method used in the CSMR algorithm. To assess this hypothesis, we explored whether substituting different regularized regression methods (i.e. Lasso, Elastic Net, Smoothly Clipped Absolute Deviation (SCAD), Minmax Convex Penalty (MCP), and Adaptive-Lasso) within the CSMR framework can improve the clustering accuracy and internal consistency (IC) of CSMR in high-dimensional settings. We calculated the true positive rate (TPR), true negative rate (TNR), IC and clustering accuracy of our proposed modifications, benchmarked against the existing CSMR algorithm, using an extensive set of simulation studies and real biological datasets. Our results demonstrated that substituting Adaptive-Lasso within the existing feature selection method used in CSMR led to significantly improved IC and clustering accuracy, with strong performance even in high-dimensional scenarios. In conclusion, our modifications of the CSMR method resulted in improved clustering performance and may thus serve as viable alternatives for the regression-based clustering of high-dimensional datasets.
HOTAIRM1 knockdown reduces MPP+-induced oxidative stress injury of SH-SY5Y cells by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway
Authors: Dai Hui-Yu , Chang Ming-Xiu , Sun Ling
Published: July 2023

Objective

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease with complex pathogenesis. Although HOXA transcript antisense RNA myeloid-specific 1 (HOTAIRM1) is upregulated in PD, its exact role in HOTAIRM1 is seldom reported. The purpose of this study is to research the effect of HOTAIRM1 on 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridonium (MPP+)-induced cytotoxicity and oxidative stress in SH-SY5Y cells.

Methods

SH-SY5Y cells were treated with MPP+ at various concentrations or time points to induce SH-SY5Y cytotoxicity, so as to determine the optimal MPP+ concentration and time point. HOTAIRM1 expression upon MPP+ treatment was analyzed through qRT-PCR. Next, HOTAIRM1 was downregulated to observe the variance of SH-SY5Y cell viability, apoptosis, oxidative stress-related indexes, and protein levels of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. In addition, rescue experiments were carried out to assess the role of Nrf2 silencing in HOTAIRM1 knockdown on MPP+-induced oxidative stress in SH-SY5Y cells.

Results

MPP+ treatment-induced cytotoxicity and upregulated HOTAIRM1 expression in SH-SY5Y cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Mechanically, HOTAIRM1 knockdown enhanced cell viability, limited apoptosis, and oxidative stress, therefore protecting SH-SY5Y cells from MPP+-induced SH-SY5Y cytotoxicity. On the other hand, HOTAIRM1 knockdown activated the protein levels of Nrf2 and HO-1. Nrf2 silencing could counteract the neuroprotective effect of HOTAIRM1 knockdown on in vitro PD model.

Conclusion

Our data demonstrated that HOTAIRM1 knockdown could inhibit apoptosis and oxidative stress and activated the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, therefore exerting neuroprotective effect on the PD cell model.
Esmolol inhibits cognitive impairment and neuronal inflammation in mice with sepsis-induced brain injury
Authors: Li Yanpeng , Ma Junli , Diao Jianjun , Chen Wei , Wang Zhihua
Published: July 2023

Sepsis is a potentially fatal organ failure resulting from a dysregulated host response to infection. It can be a substantial financial burden on families and society due to the high cost of medical care. The study aims to investigate the protective roles of Esmolol in mice with sepsis-induced brain injuries against cognitive dysfunction and neuronal inflammation. Male C57BL/6J mice were intraperitoneally injected with LPS (10 mg/kg, L2630, Sigma) to establish a septic encephalopathy model. Esmolol (15 mg/kg/h, HY-B1392, MedChemExpress) was subcutaneously infused using osmotic mini-pumps for 6 h before LPS injection. Morris water maze and novel object recognition tests evaluated LPS-induced cognitive impairment and behavioral phenotypes. Cytokines and protein expression were assessed using ELISA assay and RT-qPCR. Esmolol treatment potentially improved cognitive impairment in septic mice. Esmolol administration markedly diminished the abnormal hippocampal neuronal structure, and the expression of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α was significantly downregulated in the hippocampal tissue. Esmolol treatment significantly reduced apoptotic TUNEL-positive cells and reversed the related gene expression (BAX and BCL-2). The effects of esmolol on the reactive oxidative species and oxidative stress markedly reduce malondialdehyde MDA content and increase superoxide dismutase and catalase in hippocampal tissues. In addition, esmolol significantly reduced the percentage and density of Iba-1 + microglia in septic mice. Our results demonstrated that esmolol potentially improved cognitive impairment and neuronal inflammation in mice with sepsis-induced brain injury.
Pre-Event Marketing of Trail Running Events: Stories of People, Place and Experience
Authors: Stadler Raphaela
Published: July 2023

The use of storytelling in destination marketing is well explored, but the role of events in this is under researched. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how two different trail running events in Innsbruck, Austria, use elements of storytelling within their communications strategy in the lead-up to the event, and how stories about the two events are interwoven to create a shared meaning around the image of Innsbruck as an alpine-urban destination. Stories on the event websites, social media, local and national media, and in promotional material are thematically analysed to examine the similarities and differences in storytelling approaches. Findings reveal that both events use a combination of three specific elements – people, place and experience – but different strategies when tapping into each other’s story and hence shaping the overall story of the destination. As such, the paper makes theoretical and practical contributions to the event marketing body of knowledge.
Qualifizierung im digitalen Kulturtourismusmarketing – Eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit den Angeboten von Tourismusorganisationen für den ländlichen Raum
Authors: Schuhbauer Sarah , Hausmann Andrea
Published: July 2023

Viele Kultureinrichtungen im ländlichen Raum haben mit der Umsetzung von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) im Tourismusmarketing zu kämpfen. Die Kultureinrichtungen benötigen deshalb Möglichkeiten für die Qualifizierung ihres Personals. Tourismusorganisationen spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei der Bereitstellung entsprechender Angebote. Im Rahmen einer Interviewstudie wurde deshalb untersucht welche Angebote zur Qualifizierung im digitalen Kulturtourismusmarketing von Seiten der Tourismusorganisationen bereits vorliegen und unter welchen Umständen sie von den Kultureinrichtungen im ländlichen Raum genutzt werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass zwar bereits einige Angebote vorliegen, diese sich jedoch häufig nicht explizit an Kultureinrichtungen richten. Die Kultureinrichtungen machen von selbigen Angeboten oftmals auch noch nicht Gebrauch. Den Tourismusorganisationen wird daher die Etablierung spezifischer Angebote für Kultureinrichtungen und die Etablierung zusätzlicher Austauschformate empfohlen. Des Weiteren sollte eine Sensibilisierung kommunalpolitischer AkteurInnen stattfinden, die Angebote sollten auf verschiedenen Ebenen verbreitet und starke FürsprecherInnen etabliert werden.
Ciudades descentradas
Authors: Bejarano Canterla Rosario
Published: July 2023

Siempre se ha entendido que toda ciudad es la configuración funcional y arquitectónica del pueblo que la habita. Pero en esta concepción de la urbe subyace la idea de una pretendida identidad previa de sus habitantes, susceptible, además, de ser conocida. En la era postmetafísica en que las formas de humanismo tradicionales han sido puestas en duda, se precisa una concepción de la ciudad abierta a la posibilidad, esa constitución ontológica de cada uno de los individuos que la conforman. En relación con la concepción heideggeriana del hombre y el espacio, la ciudad se muestra como descentrada respecto del terreno por habitar. Surgen así las teorizaciones sobre el espacio urbano como no-lugar, terrain-vague o el strip de Las Vegas. Pero, principalmente, este artículo analiza la arquitectura de Zaha Hadid como modelo de apertura de la ciudad acorde al ex-sistente heideggeriano. La ciudad entendida como una distopía de sí misma, como una permanente apertura a lo posible.

El decadentismo mexicano y los discursos científicos en diálogo. El caso de Alberto Leduc: del palacio a la vecindad
Authors: Avechuco Cabrera Daniel , Rivera Rascón Lucía Guadalupe
Published: July 2023

Este trabajo explora los contactos entre la narrativa de los decadentes mexicanos y la ciencia, en especial la medicina y la antropología criminal. La hipótesis central es que de estas disciplinas científicas los decadentes absorbieron y reelaboraron artísticamente no meras nociones, sino valoraciones y códigos de representación de la realidad. Partiendo de presupuestos teóricos del análisis del discurso y centrándose en la figura de la prostituta, el artículo se aproxima a Alberto Leduc (1867-1908), en cuya obra se constata la apropiación de un repertorio léxico, unas estrategias descriptivo-narrativas, unos tópicos y un modo de encuadrar la realidad propios del discurso de la ciencia, que él pone a dialogar con su sensibilidad modernista-decadente

Development of an automated online proctoring system
Authors: Breskina Anastasiia A.
Published: July 2023

The rapid development of machine learning technologies, the increasing availability of devices and widespread access to the Internet have significantly contributed to the growth of distance learning. Alongside distance learning systems, proctoring systems have emerged to assess student performance by simulating the work of a teacher. However, despite the development of image processing and machine learning technologies, modern proctoring systems still have limited functionality: some systems have not implemented computer vision methods and algorithms satisfactorily enough (false positives when working with students of different ancestry, racial background and nationalities) and classification of student actions (very strict requirements for student behaviour), so that some software products have even refused to use modules that use elements of artificial intelligence. It is also a problem that current systems are mainly focused on tracking students' faces and gaze and do not track their postures, actions, andemotional state. However, it is the assessment of actions and emotional state that is crucial not only for the learning process itself, but also for the well-being of students, as they spend long periods of time at computers or other devices during distance learning, which has a great impact on both their physical health and stress levels. Currently, control over these indicators lies solely with teachers oreven students themselves, who have to work through test materials and independent work on their own. An additional problem is the quality of processing and storage of students' personal data, as most systems require students to be identified using their identitydocuments and store full, unanonymised video of students' work on their servers. Based on the analysis of all these problems that impede the learning process and potentially affectstudents' health in the long run, this article presents additional functional requirements for modern automated online proctoring systems, including the need to analyse human actions to assess physical activity and monitor hygiene practices when using computers in the learning process, as well as requirements for maximum protection of students' personal data. A prototype of the main components of an automated online proctoring system that meets the proposed requirements has been developed.
Architecture of a mobile transport route selection system by a team of volunteers in the conditions of the military state
Authors: Horpenko Danylo R.
Published: July 2023

The work is devoted to the issue of designing the architecture of a mobile system for choosing the route of cargo transportation and passenger transportation by a team of volunteers under martial law. The system provides support to the decision-maker -the coordinator of the volunteer team in conditions of information uncertainty and dynamic changes in the external environment. The system allows you to receive and take into account operational information about the state of the route segments, which is provided by experts in the role of volunteers.The architecture of the mobile system for the volunteer team in the conditions of dynamic changes is client-server. The client sends data entered by volunteer experts to the server using a mobile phone or Internet connection. The volunteer team coordinator's mobile device is the server of the volunteer team's mobile decision support system. The server has a three-tier architecture: the presentation tier, the application logic tier, and the data tier. At the program logic level, a decision-making subsystem based on the multi-criteria modified Smart method is implemented. As a backup, data from the database on the volunteer team coordinator's device is uploaded to the database located on a remote web server.Based on the developed architecture, a mobile system for building a recommended route for a team of volunteers was developed in Java in Android Studio. As an application of the developed mobile system, a practical example of determining the best of five existing cargo transportation routes is considered.
The structural tuning of the convolutional neural network for speaker identification in mel frequency cepstrum coefficients space
Authors: Matychenko Anastasiia D. , Polyakova Marina V.
Published: July 2023

As a result of the literature analysis, the main methods for speaker identification from speech signals were defined. These are statistical methods based on Gaussian mixture model and a universal background model, as well as neural network methods, in particular, using convolutional or Siamese neural networks. The main characteristics of these methods are the recognition performance, a number of parameters, and the training time. High recognition performance is achieved by using convolutional neural networks, but a number of parameters of these networks are much higher than for statistical methods, although lower than for Siamese neural networks. A large number of parameters require a large training set, which is not always available for the researcher. In addition, despite the effectiveness of convolutional neural networks, model size and inference efficiency remain important fordevices with a limited source of computing power, such as peripheral or mobile devices. Therefore, the aspects of tuning of the structure of existing convolutional neural networks are relevant for research. In this work, we have performed a structural tuning of an existing convolutional neural network based on the VGGNet architecture for speaker identification in the space of mel frequency cepstrum coefficients. The aim of the work was to reduce the number of neural network parameters and, as a result, to reduce the network training time, provided that the recognition performance is sufficient (the correct recognition is above 95 %). The neural network proposed as a result of structural tuning has fewer layers than the architecture of the basic neural network. Insteadof the ReLU activation function, the related Leaky ReLU function with a parameter of 0.1 was used. The number of filters and the size of kernels in convolutional layers are changed. The size of kernels for the max pooling layer has been increased. It is proposedto use the averaging of the results of each convolution to input a two-dimensional convolution results to a fully connected layer with the Softmax activation function. The performed experiment showed that the number of parameters of the proposed neural network is 29 % less than the number of parameters of the basic neural network, provided that the speaker recognition performance is almost the same. In addition, the training time of the proposed and basic neural networks was evaluated on five datasets of audio recordings corresponding to different numbers of speakers. The training time of the proposed network was reduced by 10-39 % compared to the basic neural network. The results of the research show the advisability of the structural tuning of the convolutional neural network for devices with a limited source of computing, namely, peripheral or mobile devices.

Authors: Arsirii Olena О. , Petrosiuk Denys V.
Published: July 2023

The relevance of solving the problem of recognizing facial expressions in the image of a person's face for the formation of amodel of social interactions in the development of intelligent systems for computer vision, human-machine interaction, online learning, emotional marketing, and game intelligence is shown. The aim of the work is to reduce the training time and computational resources without losing the reliability of the multivalued classification of motor units for solving the problem of facial expression recognition in a human face image by developing an adaptive model of a convolution neural network and a method for its training with “fine tuning” of parameters. To achieve the goal, several tasks were solved in the work. Models of specialized convolution neural networks and pre-trained on the ImageNet set were investigated. The stages of transfer learning of convolution neural networks were shown. A model of a convolutionalneural network and a method for its training were developed to solve the problems of facial expression recognition on a human face image. The reliability of recognition of motor units was analyzed based on the developed adaptive model of a convolution neural network and the method of its transfer learning. It is shown that, on average, the use of the proposed loss function in a fully connected layer of a multi-valued motor unit classifier within the framework of the developed adaptive model of a convolution neural network based on the publicly available MobileNet-v1 and its transfer learning method made it possible to increase the reliability of solving the problem of facial expression recognition inahuman face image by 6 % by F1 value estimation.

The Names of Accommodation and Food Service Establishments in the Linguistic Landscape of the Historical Centre of Zadar
Authors: Bilandžija Ivana
Published: July 2023

This paper analyses the linguistic landscape of the Zadar peninsula, starting from the assumption that the linguistic landscape of the old town, as a frequently visited tourist destination, is driven by tourist demand, and affected by globalization. The research is based on a corpus of 582 photographs collected between June and September 2019. The paper uses a quantitative approach to examine a part of the corpus, i.e., 197 names of accommodation and food service establishments, since it is the category often found to be the most revealing of the attitudes of entrepreneurs towards language choices. This approach aims to determine the distribution and role of foreign languages, as well as the standard and regional Croatian forms, in the chosen context. Due to the long Venetian dominance and the fact that Zadar was part of Italy from 1918 until the Italian capitulation in 1943, particular emphasis is placed on the use of Italian in the linguistic landscape of Zadar’s historical centre.
La fine di Ludro
Authors: Bukvić Ana
Published: July 2023

Giuseppe Sabalich (Zara, 1856 – Zara, 1928) è stato l’autore più prolifico a cavallo tra l’Ottocento e il Novecento a Zara. Rinomato storico, narratore, poeta e scrittore, si distinse particolarmente per la sua produzione drammatica che si avvale di una vasta produzione di commedie, drammi, monologhi, bozzetti scenici e atti unici nell’arco di circa quarant’anni (1879-1928). In questo saggio si presenta ed analizza il dramma La fine di Ludro che Sabalich pubblica a puntate sulla rivista Zara nel 1891. È un dramma in due atti che come protagonista ha il noto caratterista italiano Antonio Papadopoli (1815-1899). Dopo la breve premessa sulla vita e opera del noto scrittore zaratino e su Papadopoli, nativo di Zara, si prosegue all’analisi del suddetto dramma. Dall’analisi emergono i tratti tipici della drammaturgia di Sabalich, quali l’uso del dialetto, l’ambientazione veneziana, le immagini positive di Venezia, i rinvii storici e infine il fatto di aver destinato i propri testi ad attori di fama. Inoltre, si distinguono i tratti divergenti, che rendono La fine di Ludro un unicum nella sua produzione, e si manifestano nel connubio tra le due identità; quella zaratina e quella veneziana e nell’elemento metateatrale. Nel dramma si riconoscono gli spunti biografici di Antonio Papadopoli che nell’analisi vanno accentuati e che da un lato confermano l’identità adriatica di Antonio Papadopoli, e dall’altro che Giuseppe Sabalich fosse un uomo di teatro fortemente radicato nel suo contesto storico-sociale.
Il futurismo in Croazia nello specchio traduttivo
Authors: Milanko Sandra
Published: July 2023

Benché l’interesse dei critici croati per il futurismo sia di lunga data, ciò non si può sostenere per quanto riguarda gli studi dedicati alle traduzioni delle opere futuriste. Questo fatto suscita ancora più perplessità se si considera che una buona parte del primo numero della mai pubblicata rivista futurista zaratina Zvrk è dedicata proprio alle traduzioni degli scritti dei noti futuristi. L’articolo, oltre ad offrire uno sguardo panoramico sui lavori critici degli ultimi decenni, mette in evidenza l’importanza dell’analisi traduttologica nello studio dei contatti letterari italo-croati sull’esempio dello scritto programmatico di Marinetti destinato a Zvrk e della sua traduzione a firma di Joso Matošić, il fondatore della rivista. L’analisi rivela che non si tratta di un manifesto originale di Marinetti scritto apposta per Zvrk, ma di due scritti già editi di cui Matošić risulta essere a conoscenza, tanto da prenderli da prototesto insieme alla versione inviatagli da Marinetti.
Voces inocentes: violencia y realidad histórica en El Salvador
Authors: Bedolla  Villaseñor Pastor
Published: July 2023

The article makes a review of a qualitative nature around the relationship between the childhood and the violence in the context of the civil war in El Salvador (1980-1992). The thought is instrumented by the exam of the Voces inocentes (2004) movie, which is conceived as a social production and as a representation of historical reality based on a prospective nature. This work emphasizes the film’s merit in its interest to make visible and denounce the responsibility of the primal supporters of the violence ‒currently unpunished‒ towards the Salvadorian childhood, whose psychosocial sequels established a Central American socio-historical environment configured by a humanitarian crisis started four decades ago at an unlucky ride “from the madness to hope”. This work uses the conceptual theoretical framework around the violence, developed by the Basque-Salvadorian Jesuit, Ignacio Ellacuría. Which conceived that the resulting violence can be assessed only from the initial criticism of the original violence of structural character
Assessment of the morphological properties of secondary semi-finished wood-fibre products obtained from production waste

Published: July 2023

This paper presents the results of an assessment of the morphological characteristics of semi-finished wood-fibre products obtained from waste fibreboard using a rotary cutting machine by dry grinding. The work has established the influence of machine design parameters, such as the gap between the rotor and stator cutters and the angle of the stator cutter contact with the raw materials, on the mass fraction of small fibres and fines in wood-fibre pulp. These parameters determine the main structural characteristics of boards and ensure fibre bonding. The paper describes the collision of single secondary wood fibres that leads to the development of primary cracks, contributing to external and internal fibrillation in the absence of high temperatures and pressure without using chemical additives or water and steam.

Published: July 2023

Background and Aims: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common hepatic condition that can progress to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in non-cirrhotic livers. To better understand the development of NAFLD-associated HCC, we performed an integrated morphological and molecular analysis to identify new insights that can improve the follow-up of NAFLD patients.

Methods: Our study included a cohort of 14 NAFLD-associated HCC and 41 NAFLD patients. We analyzed clinical parameters, a four-microRNA (miRNA) panel (miR-21-5p, miR-34a-5p, miR-130a-3p, and miR-155-3p) panel and their relationship with p53 and β-catenin expression.

Results: In the study cohort, the NAFLD-associated HCC patients were predominantly male, older, had significantly altered hepatic function, and a higher incidence of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Morphologically, the NAFLD-HCC group had substantially higher steatosis, ballooning, and fibrosis grades than the NAFLD group. The β-catenin expression was higher in both adjacent non-tumoral liver tissue (ANT) from NAFLD-associated HCC patients and in HCC tissue com-pared with NAFLD samples. The 4 miRNAs panel showed a dysregulated expression profile between NAFLD, ANT and HCC samples.

Conclusions: This study provides important insights regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying HCC progression in NAFLD patients, allowing for the development of better screening strategies for the early detection of NAFLD-associated HCC.
Diet and Gut Inflammation: The Effect of Diet on Inflammatory Markers in Inflammatory Bowel Disease – A Scoping Review
Authors: Sabo Cristina Maria , Simiras Constantin , Ismaiel Abdulrahman , Dumitrascu Dan L.
Published: July 2023

Background and Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. Studies evaluated the effect of several diets on inflammatory markers in IBD patients. Nevertheless, the results have been inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted this review to evaluate the effectiveness of dietary interventions on inflammatory markers in IBD.

Methods: A comprehensive electronic literature search strategy using the PubMed, Embase, and Scopus was conducted in March 2023 and evaluated inflammatory markers included C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and fecal calprotectin (FC), as well as disease severity scores. We included full-text articles that met our inclusion and exclusion criteria. To evaluate the included studies, we used the NHLBI quality evaluation tools.

Results: A total of 16 studies were included in our qualitative synthesis. Elemental and polymeric diets showed similar efficacy in reducing Crohn’s disease activity index (CDAI) and CRP levels. On the other hand, most studies evaluating the effects of omega 3 fatty acids reported no significant improvement. Moreover, protein supplementation was not seen to improve ESR or CRP levels. Except for improvements in FC levels with IgG4-guided exclusion diet in CD patients with elevated CDAI levels, restrictive diets were successful in controlling functional abdominal symptoms but did not appear to have an impact on inflammation in most studies. Furthermore, disease severity scores, CRP, ESR, and FC levels did not significantly change when eating a high-fiber, low-refined-carb, low-fat diet.

Conclusions: Diet plays a vital role in managing IBD by impacting the inflammatory response. Among the interventions studied, enteral nutrition showed the most promising results, improving patients‘ inflammatory status. Restrictive diets effectively managed symptoms and clinical remission but had limited impact on inflammatory markers. Supplementing the diet with fatty acids, omega 3, or proteins did not definitively improve patients‘ condition or inflammation.
