At present, it is common to feed calves with “Concentrate”, “Concentrate + hay” and TMR “Total Mixed Rations” feeding patterns in China, which achieved well feeding efficiency, but the three feeding patterns molecular regulation mechanism in actual production is still unclear. The study aimed to explore the most suitable feeding pattern for Chinese Holstein calves to improve the rumen fermentation function and growth performance of calves. In this regard, the interactions between rumen microorganisms and host metabolism were investigated. The rumen volume and weight of calves in the GF group were significantly higher than those in the GFF and TMR groups (p < 0.05), and the rumen pH of calves in the GF group was 6.47~6.79. Metagenomics analysis revealed that the rumen microbiome of GF and GFF calves had higher relative abundances of Methanobrevibacter, Methanosphaera, and Methanolacinia (p < 0.05). Prevotella multisaccharivorax was significantly more abundant in the rumen of GF calves (p < 0.05), indicating that GF group calves had a stronger ability to ferment sugars. Notably, in the pyruvate metabolic pathway, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase was significantly up-regulated in GF calves compared with the TMR group, and pyruvate-phosphate dikinase was significantly down-regulated. Metabolomic results showed that Ursodeoxycholic acid was significantly up-regulated in GF calves, and most of the differential metabolites were enriched in Bile secretion pathways. The association analysis study found that the microorganisms of Prevotella and Ruminococcaceae might cooperate with the host, which was helpful for the digestion and absorption of lipids and made the calves have better growth. The three feeding modes had similar effects, but the ‘GF’ feeding pattern was more beneficial to the individual growth and ruminal development regarding ruminal morphology, contents physiology and microorganisms. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of rumen microorganisms and the host could more effectively hydrolyze lipid substances and promote the absorption of lipids, which was of great significance to the growth of calves.

Non-typhoidal salmonellosis (NTS) caused by ingesting Salmonella enterica contaminated food or drink remains a major bacterial foodborne disease. Clinical outcomes of NTS range from self-limited gastroenteritis to life-threatening invasive NTS (iNTS). In this study, we isolated Salmonella spp. from the stool and blood of patients hospitalized at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, Chiang Mai, Thailand, between 2016–2021 (a total of 395 cases). Then, serovar Typhimurium and Enteritidis were identified and further characterized by multiplex PCR, and multi-locus sequence typing. Our data show that multidrug resistance (MDR) sequence type 34 (ST34) and ST11 are the predominant sequence types for serovars Typhimurium and Enteritidis, respectively. Most S. Typhimurium ST34 lacks spvB, and most S. Enteritidis ST11 harbor sseI, sodCI, rpoS and spvB genes. NTS can be found in a wide range of ages, and anemia could be a significant factor for S. Typhimurium infection (86.3%). Both S. Typhimurium (6.7%) and S. Enteritidis (25.0%) can cause iNTS in immunocompromised patients. S. Typhimurium conferred MDR phenotype higher than S. Enteritidis with multiple antibiotic resistance indexes of 0.22 and 0.04, respectively. Here, we characterized the important S. Typhimurium, S. Enteritidis, and human clinical factors of NTS within the region.

Anaplasma (A.) ovis is the most important cause of anaplasmosis in small ruminants. The current study was planned to estimate the molecular prevalence, risk factors, and phylogenetic analysis of A. ovis infection in sheep and goats from different agro-climatic regions of Central and Southern Punjab, Pakistan. A total of 400 jugular blood samples were collected from asymptomatic goats (n = 200) and sheep (n = 200) from the Jhang and Dera Ghazi Khan districts from January 2021 to February, 2023. Two hundred blood samples were collected from each district. Ten union councils (UC) were randomly chosen from each district, and 20 samples were collected from each UC based on the multistage cluster sampling technique. The samples were analyzed with PCR targeting the major surface protein (msp4) gene of A. ovis. The overall molecular prevalence of anaplasmosis was 57.5%. The disease occurrence was higher in Dera Ghazi Khan (61.5%) than in the Jhang district (53.5%). Infection positivity was greater in goats (65.5%) than in sheep (49.5%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that host species [sheep; Odds Ratio (OR) = 3.212; p = 0.000, Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.968–5.242], age (adult; OR = 2.606; p = 0.003, CI = 1.398–4.858), and acaricide use (never; OR = 13.671; p = 0.000, CI = 6.414–26.283) were significantly higher risk for A. ovis in small ruminants (p< 0.05; OR > 1). The sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of four representative isolates in the current study (Genbank numbers; Goats: OQ302202, OQ302203; Sheep: OQ319592, OQ319593) revealed novel strains of A. ovis with 97–100% similarity from different countries. The msp4-based goat isolates showed greater genetic diversity, while sheep genotypes showed homology with isolates from Italy, Spain, Hungary, Cyprus, Spain, Iran, and China. The current surveillance study will help in devising prevention and control strategies regarding anaplasmosis in small ruminants. However, there is a need for further study on the clinicopathological and vector competence aspects of these genotypes.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for accurate, rapid, and cost-effective diagnostic methods to identify and track the disease. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as PCR and serological assays, have limitations in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and timeliness. To investigate the potential of using protein–peptide hybrid microarray (PPHM) technology to track the dynamic changes of antibodies in the serum of COVID-19 patients and evaluate the prognosis of patients over time. A discovery cohort of 20 patients with COVID-19 was assembled, and PPHM technology was used to track the dynamic changes of antibodies in the serum of these patients. The results were analyzed to classify the patients into different disease severity groups, and to predict the disease progression and prognosis of the patients. PPHM technology was found to be highly effective in detecting the dynamic changes of antibodies in the serum of COVID-19 patients. Four polypeptide antibodies were found to be particularly useful for reflecting the actual status of the patient’s recovery process and for accurately predicting the disease progression and prognosis of the patients. The findings of this study emphasize the multi-dimensional space of peptides to analyze the high-volume signals in the serum samples of COVID-19 patients and monitor the prognosis of patients over time. PPHM technology has the potential to be a powerful tool for tracking the dynamic changes of antibodies in the serum of COVID-19 patients and for improving the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease.

Published: September 2023

Biofouling is the assemblage of undesirable biological materials and macro-organisms (barnacles, mussels, etc.) on submerged surfaces, which has unfavorable impacts on the economy and maritime environments. Recently, research efforts have focused on isolating natural, eco-friendly antifouling agents to counteract the toxicities of synthetic antifouling agents. Marine actinomycetes produce a multitude of active metabolites, some of which acquire antifouling properties. These antifouling compounds have chemical structures that fall under the terpenoids, polyketides, furanones, and alkaloids chemical groups. These compounds demonstrate eminent antimicrobial vigor associated with antiquorum sensing and antibiofilm potentialities against both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. They have also constrained larval settlements and the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, suggesting a strong anti-macrofouling activity. Despite their promising in vitro and in vivo biological activities, scaled-up production of natural antifouling agents retrieved from marine actinomycetes remains inapplicable and challenging. This might be attributed to their relatively low yield, the unreliability of in vitro tests, and the need for optimization before scaled-up manufacturing. This review will focus on some of the most recent marine actinomycete-derived antifouling agents, featuring their biological activities and chemical varieties after providing a quick overview of the disadvantages of fouling and commercially available synthetic antifouling agents. It will also offer different prospects of optimizations and analysis to scale up their industrial manufacturing for potential usage as antifouling coatings and antimicrobial and therapeutic agents.

Secondary metabolites (SMs) from environmental bacteria offer viable solutions for various health and environmental challenges. Researchers are employing advanced bioinformatic tools to investigate less-explored microorganisms and unearth novel bioactive compounds. In this research area, our understanding of SMs from environmental Gram-negative bacteria lags behind that of its Gram-positive counterparts. In this regard, Pedobacter spp. have recently gained attention, not only for their role as plant growth promoters but also for their potential in producing antimicrobials. This study focuses on the genomic analysis of Pedobacter spp. to unveil the diversity of the SMs encoded in their genomes. Among the 41 genomes analyzed, a total of 233 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) were identified, revealing the potential for the production of diverse SMs, including RiPPs (27%), terpenes (22%), hybrid SMs (17%), PKs (12%), NRPs (9%) and siderophores (6%). Overall, BGC distribution did not correlate with phylogenetic lineage and most of the BGCs showed no significant hits in the MIBiG database, emphasizing the uniqueness of the compounds that Pedobacter spp. can produce. Of all the species examined, P. cryoconitis and P. lusitanus stood out for having the highest number and diversity of BGCs. Focusing on their applicability and ecological functions, we investigated in greater detail the BGCs responsible for siderophore and terpenoid production in these species and their relatives. Our findings suggest that P. cryoconitis and P. lusitanus have the potential to produce novel mixtures of siderophores, involving bifunctional IucAC/AcD NIS synthetases, as well as carotenoids and squalene. This study highlights the biotechnological potential of Pedobacter spp. in medicine, agriculture and other industries, emphasizing the need for a continued exploration of its SMs and their applications.

Published: September 2023

Pets (mostly domestic dogs and cats) play an important role in the daily lives of humans and their health has attracted growing attention from pet owners. The intestinal microbiota, a complex microbial community with barrier-protective, nutritional, metabolic, and immunological functions, is integral to host health. Dysbiosis has been related to a variety of diseases in humans and animals. Probiotics have been used in functional foods and dietary supplements to modulate intestinal microbiota and promote host health, which has been introduced in pet dogs and cats in recent years. Various canine- and feline-derived probiotic strains have been isolated and characterized. The administration of probiotics has shown positive effects on the gut health and can alleviate some intestinal diseases and disorders in dogs and cats, although the underlying mechanisms are largely unresolved. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the benefits of probiotics and discuss their possible mechanisms in dogs and cats in order to provide new insights for the further development and application of probiotics in pets.

Dry yeast extracts (DYE) are applied to vineyards to improve aromatic and secondary metabolic compound content and wine quality; however, systematic information on the underpinning molecular mechanisms is lacking. This work aimed to unravel, through a systematic approach, the metabolic and molecular responses of Sauvignon Blanc berries to DYE treatments. To accomplish this, DYE spraying was performed in a commercial vineyard for two consecutive years. Berries were sampled at several time points after the treatment, and grapes were analyzed for sugars, acidity, free and bound aroma precursors, amino acids, and targeted and untargeted RNA-Seq transcriptional profiles. The results obtained indicated that the DYE treatment did not interfere with the technological ripening parameters of sugars and acidity. Some aroma precursors, including cys-3MH and GSH-3MH, responsible for the typical aromatic nuances of Sauvignon Blanc, were stimulated by the treatment during both vintages. The levels of amino acids and the global RNA-seq transcriptional profiles indicated that DYE spraying upregulated ROS homeostatic and thermotolerance genes, as well as ethylene and jasmonic acid biosynthetic genes, and activated abiotic and biotic stress responses. Overall, the data suggested that the DYE reduced berry oxidative stress through the regulation of specific subsets of metabolic and hormonal pathways.
Development of Microbial Consortium and Its Influencing Factors for Enhanced Oil Recovery after Polymer Flooding: A Review
Authors: Xiao Hui , Amir Zulhelmi , Mohd Junaidi Mohd Usman
Published: September 2023

After polymer flooding, substantial oil and residual polymers remain in reservoirs, leading to plugging and reduced recovery. MEOR (Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery) aims to release trapped oil by utilizing microorganisms and their byproducts. The microorganisms can use residual HPAM (hydrolyzed polyacrylamide) as an energy source for polymer degradation, addressing reservoir plugging issues and improving oil recovery. However, microorganisms are sensitive to environmental conditions. This paper presents a detailed update of MEOR, including microbial products, mechanisms, and merits and demerits. The effect of the displacement fluid and conditions on microorganisms is thoroughly demonstrated to elucidate their influencing mechanism. Among these factors, HPAM and crosslinkers, which have significant biological toxicity, affect microorganisms and the efficiency of MEOR. Limited research exists on the effect of chemicals on microorganisms’ properties, metabolism, and oil displacement mechanisms. The development of microbial consortium, their metabolic interaction, and oil displacement microprocesses are also discussed. In addition, prior studies lack insights into microorganisms’ interaction and mechanisms using chemicals. Finally, field trials exist to examine the microbial consortium’s efficiency and introduce new technologies. This review mainly explores the influencing factors on microorganisms, and confirms the credibility of MEOR after polymer flooding, providing a scientific basis for improving the theory of MEOR.

Recently, functional foods have become the aim of customers and food producers. Integrating vegetable ingredients in the food industry is a productive goal to reduce costs while maintaining quality. Dried Jerusalem artichoke tubers powder (DJATP) was used as a novel approach in cheese manufacturing. Innovatively, its holding capacity features and impact on probiotic development were evaluated. The SEM microstructure image and biochemical analysis of DJATP confirmed higher water holding (5.31 g/g), oil absorption (1.99 g/g), and swelling (1.79 g/g) capacities than casein. DJATP (3%) supported the probiotic bacterial growth (Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Lactobacillus acidophilus) and accelerated the fermentation of skimmed milk more than pure inulin. When fortified with DJATP (3% or 6%), the cheese yield increased (24.66% and 27.85%, respectively) compared with 17.55% for control after storage (14 days). Besides the high levels of amino acids, minerals, flavonoids, phenols, and antioxidants, the probiotic bacteria in the DJATP-fortified cheese were better active, with better sensory features, recording the highest judging score (87.67) against the control (79.00). To our knowledge, no preceding studies used DJATP in fresh cheese manufacturing followed the probiotic behavior in DJATP or compared the microstructure of DJATP and casein. Instead of inulin, our novel approach suggests using DJATP as a prebiotic and an enhancer for fresh cheese quality and yield, all while being cost-effective. Future studies are encouraged to explore the potential use of DJATP in other functional cheese products.
“If He Is Converted”: A New Spanish Featherwork Ecce Homo in Southeastern Africa
Authors: Holohan Kate E.
Published: September 2023

In recent years, scholars have paid increasing attention to the material, spiritual, and collecting histories of both pre-invasion and colonial New Spanish (Mexican) featherworks. Rapidly and globally disseminated through religious and family networks, these objects traveled from Mexico to Spain, and other locations, before the end of the sixteenth century. This article explores the little-known history of a devotional featherwork Ecce Homo sent from Portugal to southeastern Africa in 1569. Originally a gift to Sebastian I of Portugal sent from the Spanish-colonized Americas, the Ecce Homo later entered the collection of Catherine of Austria, Sebastian’s grandmother. Catherine presented it to the Jesuits accompanying the Portuguese evangelizing and gold-seeking mission to Mutapa, a vast kingdom that encompassed parts of present-day Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Its intended recipient was the Mutapa emperor. However, this was not a gift meant to grease the wheels of diplomacy, nor was it designated as a tool for conversion: it was, instead, meant for the Mutapa emperor “se se convertese”—if he is converted. That is, it was conceived as a gift from one Catholic monarch to another, for use in personal devotion. The perceived spiritual efficacy of these feather images —themselves recently assimilated to Catholic Iberia from polytheistic Mesomerica—thus extended well beyond the transatlantic Iberian realms.

Published: September 2023

Large-scale imaging studies often face challenges stemming from heterogeneity arising from differences in geographic location, instrumental setups, image acquisition protocols, study design, and latent variables that remain undisclosed. While numerous regression models have been developed to elucidate the interplay between imaging responses and relevant covariates, limited attention has been devoted to cases where the imaging responses pertain to the domain of shape. This adds complexity to the problem of imaging heterogeneity, primarily due to the unique properties inherent to shape representations, including nonlinearity, high-dimensionality, and the intricacies of quotient space geometry. To tackle this intricate issue, we propose a novel approach: a shape-on-scalar regression model that incorporates confounder adjustment. In particular, we leverage the square root velocity function to extract elastic shape representations which are embedded within the linear Hilbert space of square integrable functions. Subsequently, we introduce a shape regression model aimed at characterizing the intricate relationship between elastic shapes and covariates of interest, all while effectively managing the challenges posed by imaging heterogeneity. We develop comprehensive procedures for estimating and making inferences about the unknown model parameters. Through real-data analysis, our method demonstrates its superiority in terms of estimation accuracy when compared to existing approaches.

Published: September 2023

Fish and fish products are important sources of essential nutrients for the body, and nutritionists recommend eating seafood twice a week. Therefore, to achieve the benefits of fish and fish products, the safety of fish should be considered from catching to the consumer table. The study evaluated fish safety knowledge and practices in a random sample of 344 women in Tripoli City, Libya. The survey was carried out by the self-administered questionnaire prepared for this purpose. The questionnaire consisted of four parts; the first part: questions about fish safety knowledge; the second part: questions about fish safety practices during purchasing; the third part: questions about fish safety practices at home; the fourth part: personal information. The mean knowledge score was 10.97±2.49 out of a total score of 15, the mean score of practices during purchasing was 23.2±4.10 out of a total score of 32, and the mean score of practices at home was 55.8± 6.32 out of a total score of 88. Age, marital status, employment and educational level had no significant effect on knowledge and practices (P>0.05). The study concluded that effective programs should be adopted to educate women to raise their awareness level of fish safety.
Characterisation of the potential of tutoring in pedagogical support of socialisation of students of Suvorov Military Schools of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia at the initial stage of training
Authors: Ivanov Evgeny
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Introduction. The last decade has been marked by the active implementation of the Targeted Tutoring Model in various educational organisations of our country. However, in the Suvorov military schools of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia there is no unified practice of tutoring at present, despite the fact that tutoring can act as a way to improve the effectiveness of pedagogical support of students’ socialisation at the most difficult initial stage of education. The fact determined the purpose of the research - to characterise the potential of tutoring in effective pedagogical support of first-year students’ socialisation.

Methodological basis and the research methods. Social-pedagogical, ambivalent and humanitariananthropological approaches. Methods of analysis of scientific-pedagogical and special literature, conceptual analysis, comparative analysis.

Results. The research methods used made it possible to identify the complex structure of tutorship potential and to characterise it. In the context of the chosen methodological framework, the potential is a set of possibilities of the sociocultural environment, interacting subjects and ways of interaction. The author consistently characterises each element of such a totality taking into account the peculiarities of the process of pedagogical support of students’ socialisation at the initial stage of education. The sociocultural environment of the schools is a hierarchically structured multi-age community. It possesses the resources that can help students to adapt to new living conditions and self-determination in the profession of a police officer as a profession for serving people. Effective interaction is planned through two-vector tutoring by an officer-tutor and a senior peer-tutor, in which the adult takes a pedagogical position and the peer takes a subjective position of caring for a junior. Tutoring in support of first-year students’ socialisation is effective for humanitarian cross-enrichment, free dialogue and appropriate pace of interaction.

Published: September 2023

W ostatnich latach w Polsce obserwujemy rosnącą popularność questingu, czyli odmiany gry miejskiej, jako formy turystyki kulturowej. Przedmiotem rozważań prezentowanych w niniejszym artykule były książki dla dzieci autorstwa Beaty Sarnowskiej z serii „Miejskie Tajemnice”, które określane są nieutrwalonym jeszcze w literaturoznawstwie mianem literatury questingowej. Przeprowadzone przez nas badania miały na celu ustalenie, czy możliwe jest transponowanie questingu na formę literacką, oraz czy zabieg ten udał się w przypadku książek Sarnowskiej. Aby odpowiedzieć na te pytania dokonano analizy formalnej, stylistycznej i treściowej utworów w oparciu o zdefiniowane w literaturze przedmiotu cechy questingu. Wykazała ona, że treść badanych książek odzwierciedla najważniejszą cechę questingu, jaką jest popularyzowanie wiedzy o dziedzictwie kulturowym w ramach gry miejskiej. Odnotowano także zgodność analizowanych pozycji z tradycyjnym questem na płaszczyźnie formalnej i stylistycznej. Utwory Sarnowskiej ukazują dzieciom dziedzictwo kulturowe jako wartość, w postaci, która stanowi połączenie preferowanych przez nie form rozrywki (gra) z klasyczną książką, podtrzymując dodatkowo zainteresowanie literaturą.

WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Zarządzanie operacyjne instytucjami oświatowymi powinno zostać zastąpione zarządzaniem strategicznym. Dyrektorzy, aby kształtować organizację konkurencyjną i realizującą potrzeby klientów, powinni świadomie wykorzystywać elementy kultury organizacyjnej do tego, by instytucje edukacyjne były organizacjami efektywnie działającymi i odpowiadającymi zapotrzebowaniu środowiska.

WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE I REKOMENDACJE: Styl zarządzania dyrektora jest powiązany z preferowanym typem kultury organizacyjnej. Kadra zarządzająca instytucjami edukacyjnymi powinna być świadoma mechanizmów oddziaływania na pracowników, klientów i środowisko lokalne, tak by tworzyć spójną i konkurencyjną, a przy tym autentyczną markę instytucji. Wymaga to wdrożenia szkoleń dla kadry zarządzającej lub włączenia zagadnień związanych z kulturą organizacyjną do programu studiów dla kadry zarządzającej instytucjami oświatowymi.

Introduction: Asthma is a chronic inammatory condition of airways which is characterized by the episodic difculty in breathing. During an
asthmatic episode, the airway lining becomes swollen and gets inamed along with the increased mucus production in the airways which leads to
the bronchoconstriction and results in reduced airow to the lungs. It is a globally leading disease with poor control despite of having effective
treatments. This study was conducted in and around Guntur region for a period of 5 months from Materials and methods: 1st MAY 2022 to 1st

Introduction Approximately 60% of the population with CKD will encounter neurological complications. Uremic neuropathy is one of the most
common neurological complications of uremia. Distal symmetrical sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy is the most common pattern of neuropathy
in CKD, and it predominantly affects lower limbs when compared to upper limbs. Aims and Objective To determine prevalence and type of
neuropathy in CKD patients with their clinic-demographic prole. To evaluate MNSI score as tool to asses peripheral neuropathy in CKD.
Methodology 100 patients of diagnosed CKD were enrolled following the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were assessed for peripheral
neuropathy both clinically and electrophysiologically. Among CKD patients men were Results more affected with PN than women. With
increasing duration of uremia the prevelance of neuropathy increased most in the group of 2-3 years. Most common form of neuropathy was distal
symmetrical axonal sensory motor neuropathy. 65 % cases were having neuropathy. Patients on HD had higher percentage of neuropathy than not
on HD. MNSI score was found to be statistically signicant among all CKD groups. Peripheral neuropathy is very commonly Conclusion
associated with CKD , more common in dialysis patients as compared to pre dialysis patients. Males are affected more than female. MNSI score is

That Which Is Absent: Accounts and Memories of Women from the Warsaw Uprising as Ready-Made but Not Used Film Scenarios
Authors: Kosińska Karolina
Published: September 2023

In Polish feature films about the Warsaw Uprising there are no women. They of course appear as nurses, civilians or message runners. But they are always part of the background, seen, but not looking, symbolic in their presence, and never the active heroines; always serving, and never independent or autonomous. If they are the heroines of the drama, then they are part of someone else’s drama, and are not given a voice of their own. Their narratives and accounts of life, even everyday life, are left unsaid, hidden behind grand and epic narratives of the heroes. The article is about women’s “micro-narratives”, the memories of women who lived in Warsaw and participated in the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. The memories give us a chance to see the Uprising in a different light, one that includes the women’s perspective and experience of the Uprising. Women’s accounts, due to their graphic nature and their uniqueness appear to be ready-made but not used film scenarios. [originally published in Polish in Kwartalnik Filmowy 2010, no. 69, pp. 95-120]

„Hiszpanka”, czyli alternatywna historia powstania wielkopolskiego
Authors: Loska Krzysztof
Published: September 2023

W artykule poświęconym filmowi Łukasza Barczyka Loska zwraca uwagę na wykorzystanie przez reżysera strategii postmodernistycznych oraz sięgnięcie przez niego do konwencji historii alternatywnej. Rozpoczynając od nakreślenia kontekstów związanych z powstaniem wielkopolskim, autor przechodzi do spirytyzmu i mediumizmu jako zjawisk w sposób szczególny odciskających swoje piętno na fabule filmowej, ponieważ alternatywna historia powstania została pokazana przez pryzmat walki telepatów. Odrodzenie tradycji ezoterycznych Loska uznaje – za Wolfgangiem Welschem – za jeden z wyróżników postmodernizmu (ze względu na zwrot ku alternatywnym formom poznania). Autor stara się wykazać, że w Hiszpance kluczową rolę odgrywa proces fabularyzacji faktów, czyli wykorzystania materiałów historycznych do zbudowania wyobrażeniowej fikcji.
