Authors: Rogic Biljana , Vazic Bozo , Djan Mihajla , Stamenkovic-Radak Marina
Published: May 2019

Genotype data from 21 microsatellites were used to evaluate genetic diversity
and relationships of Gatacko cattle and Busha breeds. A total of 100 animals
included in the study were divided into three groups: Gatacko cattle (GC),
Busha from eastern Herzegovina (BEH) and Busha from western Herzegovina
(BWH). Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed for all loci in all groups,
except for single locus (INRA35) in group of Busha from western Herzegovina.
A total number of 166 alleles were detected in a total sample. The average
number of alleles per locus was 7.9. The highest observed mean
heterozygosity (0.688) was found in the Gatacko cattle and the lowest
(0.634) in Busha from western Herzegovina. A pairwise population matrix of
Fst values among analyzed groups showed significantly high genetic
differentiation among all three groups: Gatacko cattle and Busha from
western Herzegovina, Gatacko cattle and Busha from eastern Herzegovina and
Busha from western and Busha from eastern Herzegovina. This report
represents the first genetic characterization of Gatacko cattle and Busha
cattle, traditional cattle breed from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The obtained
results are valuable for the future development of conservation and
management strategies for these cattle breeds.

Published: May 2019

The fungus Aspergillus parasiticus produces aflatoxins, the most important
group of mycotoxins considering their potential toxicity that may cause
cancer in humans. Prevention is the most important and economically most
beneficial practice in the reduction of fungal growth and mycotoxin
production. Due to that, the development of resistant maize genotypes is the
most effective method. The aim of the present study was to analyse the
resistance of maize hybrids to pathogenic and toxigenic A. parasiticus
isolates originating from maize in Serbia. Hybrids used belong to three FAO
maturity groups and showed a high level of resistance to A. parasiticus
species. A combination of prevention management strategies and good grain
management at harvest can lessen the impact of Aspergillus ear rot on yield
and grain quality.
Problems of the European union and its candidate countries’ mutual relations and flexible accession as a possible way of reviving the enlargement policy
Authors: Radic-Milosavljevic Ivana
Published: May 2019

The article deals with the problem of the Western Balkans countries?
accession and association process impasse. The author finds the key causes
of this problem in the very nature of an asymmetric relationship between the
EU and these countries with the Stabilization and Association Process laying
in its core. Both sides have contributed to this problem: the EU with its
overambitious approach to the region, vaguely defined and ever-changing
criteria, but also the countries participating in the Process with their
uncritical approach to the possible membership, unclearly defined interests
and aims, slow reforms, and weak democratic tradition. For the process to be
successfully continued, the author discusses the idea of its substantial
remodeling towards a flexible process. In light of the frequent discussions
about the possible moving of the European integration towards more
differentiation, the process of flexible association or accession would
enable EU membership only in selected policy areas. The policy areas would
be chosen in accordance with the previously clearly defined and thoroughly
analyzed interests and capabilities of the candidate and potential candidate
countries. The author argues that the association/accession process should
be separated as much as possible from the political conditioning in order to
decrease the possibility of taking arbitrary decisions on whether the
countries have advanced in the process or not. For the Western Balkan
countries, this kind of less demanding process would be easier to accomplish
and would allow more autonomy in choosing areas of integration and pace of
accommodation. For the EU member states, it would provide a way to regain
the credibility of its once most successful foreign policy activity.
The altered enlargement policy: Challenges and concentric circles of integration
Authors: Petrovic Milos
Published: May 2019

The paper examines the implementation of the enlargement policy at the end
of the second decade of the 21st century, which occurred under considerably
altered circumstances and in different dynamics in comparison to the
previous cycles of the ?Eastern enlargements?. Unlike those accession cycles
which were conducted under different circumstances and had been regionally
and strategically directed in their approach so that the entire groups of
countries could simultaneously join the Union, during the last decade there
was a growing focus on strictly bilateral relations of Brussels with each
candidate and its individual accomplishments within the ?accession regatta?,
and on more intensive and earlier conditioning. In combination with the
changed international circumstances, these resulted in a different treatment
of the current accession candidates. The article points that the reasons for
this have been the altered political circumstances and challenges in the
functioning of the Union, the different international context, as well as
insufficient progress in the remaining ?unintegrated? southeastern
countries. With the accession policy falling behind and along with
considerations regarding the reform plans within the European Union by the
model of concentric cycles of integration, it appears to the author that
further accession of EU candidates will retain different dynamics comparing
to the previous enlargement rounds, and potentially result in a different
form of integration in the future..
Successful postoperative pancreatic fistula treatment with the use of somatostatin infusion after duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumor resection

Published: May 2019

Introduction. According to the International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula, a postoperative pancreatic fistula is defined as every case of fluid leak on the third (or later) postoperative day, in which the level of amylase in the collected fluid is at least three times higher than the serum amylase level. Depending on the stage and the designated management, pancreatic fistulas are divided into the following three categories: A (mild), B, and C (severe). Regardless of favorable conditions, exocrine pancreatic secretion is the key factor in fistula formation. The decrease in pancreatic secretion caused by somatostatin and its analogues combined with parenteral nutrition is a well-established treatment method in pancreatic fistula management. Case outline. The case of a 69-year-old patient who had undergone a resection of a duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumor located directly above the major duodenal papilla is presented. Excessive drainage of amylase-rich fluid was observed in the postoperative period. Treatment comprised continuous infusion of somatostatin and parenteral nutrition. Fistula closure was accomplished on postoperative day 14, confirmed by a radical decrease in the volume of drainage and low amylase levels in the collected fluid. The patient remained in a good clinical state and was discharged from hospital on postoperative day 20. Conclusion. This is an example of the early diagnosis of a postoperative pancreatic fistula, treated conservatively with the use of somatostatin. Post-surgery clinical awareness of the importance of direct contact between the stromal tumor and pancreatic tissues, in connection with routine amylase level assessment, led to a quick diagnosis of pancreatic fistula and the therapy led to an uneventful outcome.

Genetic factors have been postulated to be involved in the etiology of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), but their identity remains mostly unknown. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic search for genetic variants influencing DPN risk using two well-characterized cohorts. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) testing 6.8 million single nucleotide polymorphisms was conducted among participants of the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) clinical trial. Included were 4,384 white case patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and prevalent or incident DPN (defined as a Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument clinical examination score >2.0) and 784 white control subjects with T2D and no evidence of DPN at baseline or during follow-up. Replication of significant loci was sought among white subjects with T2D (791 DPN-positive case subjects and 158 DPN-negative control subjects) from the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation in Type 2 Diabetes (BARI 2D) trial. Association between significant variants and gene expression in peripheral nerves was evaluated in the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) database. A cluster of 28 SNPs on chromosome 2q24 reached GWAS significance (P < 5 × 10−8) in ACCORD. The minor allele of the lead SNP (rs13417783, minor allele frequency = 0.14) decreased DPN odds by 36% (odds ratio [OR] 0.64, 95% CI 0.55–0.74, P = 1.9 × 10−9). This effect was not influenced by ACCORD treatment assignments (P for interaction = 0.6) or mediated by an association with known DPN risk factors. This locus was successfully validated in BARI 2D (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.42–0.80, P = 9 × 10−4; summary P = 7.9 × 10−12). In GTEx, the minor, protective allele at this locus was associated with higher tibial nerve expression of an adjacent gene (SCN2A) coding for human voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.2 (P = 9 × 10−4). To conclude, we have identified and successfully validated a previously unknown locus with a powerful protective effect on the development of DPN in T2D. These results may provide novel insights into DPN pathogenesis and point to a potential target for novel interventions.
Eleven Amino Acids of HLA-DRB1 and Fifteen Amino Acids of HLA-DRB3, 4, and 5 Include Potentially Causal Residues Responsible for the Risk of Childhood Type 1 Diabetes

Next-generation targeted sequencing of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DRB3, -DRB4, and -DRB5 (abbreviated as DRB345) provides high resolution of functional variant positions to investigate their associations with type 1 diabetes risk and with autoantibodies against insulin (IAA), GAD65 (GADA), IA-2 (IA-2A), and ZnT8 (ZnT8A). To overcome exceptional DR sequence complexity as a result of high polymorphisms and extended linkage disequilibrium among the DR loci, we applied a novel recursive organizer (ROR) to discover disease-associated amino acid residues. ROR distills disease-associated DR sequences and identifies 11 residues of DRB1, sequences of which retain all significant associations observed by DR genes. Furthermore, all 11 residues locate under/adjoining the peptide-binding groove of DRB1, suggesting a plausible functional mechanism through peptide binding. The 15 residues of DRB345, located respectively in the β49–55 homodimerization patch and on the face of the molecule shown to interact with and bind to the accessory molecule CD4, retain their significant disease associations. Further ROR analysis of DR associations with autoantibodies finds that DRB1 residues significantly associated with ZnT8A and DRB345 residues with GADA. The strongest association is between four residues (β14, β25, β71, and β73) and IA-2A, in which the sequence ERKA confers a risk association (odds ratio 2.15, P = 10−18), and another sequence, ERKG, confers a protective association (odds ratio 0.59, P = 10−11), despite a difference of only one amino acid. Because motifs of identified residues capture potentially causal DR associations with type 1 diabetes, this list of residuals is expected to include corresponding causal residues in this study population.
Socioeconomic Inequality in Metabolic Control Among Children With Type 1 Diabetes: A Nationwide Longitudinal Study of 4,079 Danish Children
Authors: Nielsen Nick F. , Gaulke Amanda , Eriksen Tine M. , Svensson Jannet , Skipper Niels
Published: May 2019

OBJECTIVE

To examine inequality in glycemic control by maternal educational level among children with type 1 diabetes in a setting with universal access to health care.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This was a longitudinal nationwide study of 4,079 Danish children with type 1 diabetes between the years 2000 and 2013. Children were divided into four groups based on mothers’ education prebirth (≤high school [n = 1,643], vocational or 2-year college [n = 1,548], bachelor’s degree [n = 695], ≥master’s degree [n = 193]). Means of socioeconomic and treatment characteristics were compared between groups. HbA1c and the number of daily glucose tests were compared repeatedly from onset until 5 years after onset across groups. HbA1c was compared across daily blood glucose testing frequency and groups. Linear regression was used to compare HbA1c across groups with and without adjustment for socioeconomic and treatment characteristics.

RESULTS

Large differences in HbA1c across maternal education were found. The mean level of HbA1c during follow-up was 59.7 mmol/mol (7.6%) for children of mothers with ≥master’s degrees and 68.7 mmol/mol (8.4%) for children of mothers with ≤high school (difference: 9.0 mmol/mol [95% CI 7.5, 10.6]; 0.8% [95% CI 0.7, 1.0]). The associations were attenuated but remained significant after adjustment. Observable characteristics explained 41.2% of the difference in HbA1c between children of mothers with ≤high school and mothers with ≥master’s degree; 22.5% of the difference was explained by more frequent blood glucose monitoring among the children with the highly educated mothers.

CONCLUSIONS

Family background is significantly related to outcomes for children with type 1 diabetes, even with universal access to health care.

Published: May 2019

Surface structuring by remelting with laser radiation is a new approach to shape metallic surfaces (“WaveShape”). In this structuring process, material is reallocated in its molten state instead of being removed, because the process is based on the new active principle of remelting. The surface structure and the microroughness result from a laser-controlled melt pool due to surface tension. Basic research has been conducted with promising results, especially for the hot work steel DIN 1.2343 (AISI H11) and the titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. This work is an attempt to expand the spectrum of processable materials, and the objective of this investigation is to determine the influence of crucial process parameters on characteristic surface features such as structure height for surface structuring by laser remelting of cold work steel 1.2379 (AISI D2). For the first time, an industrial laser polishing machine (“ALPINE”) was used for experimental investigations on surface structuring by laser remelting. The results achieved with this machine show that surface structuring by laser remelting is well suited to process the cold work steel 1.2379 (AISI D2) and that this industrial laser polishing machine is well suited to produce structured surfaces. In fact, for the first time, periodic surface structures with a structure height larger than 1 mm were created successfully using the WaveShape process.

Partai politik merupakan kendaraan politik untuk seseorang bisa menduduki jabatan sebagai pimpinan daerah, karena pengusungan yang dilakukan oleh partai poltik, seseorang bisa menjadi gubernur, walikota dan bupati, meskipun UU mengakomodir melalui jalur independen. Walaupun demikian tetap saja kekuatan pengusungan calon masih dipegang oleh partai politik. Ada dua rumusan masalah yaitu bagaimana harusnya MK bisa melakukan terobosan hukum, demi melihat persoalan gugatan yang diajukan oleh peserta PILKADA terkait kecurangan terhadap hasil perolehan suara, dimana banyak permohonan mendalilkan telah terjadi kecurangan secara terstruktur, sistematis dan massif, serta sejauhmana kualitas perbaikan oleh KPU melaksanakan tugas menyelesaiakan sengketa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan yuridis empiris dan kualifikasi deskriptif analitis. Penelitian ini mempunyai dua tujuan sejauhmana Mahkamah Konstitusi mempunyai tujuan agar pelanggaran dalam proses Pemilukada dapat dinilai oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK). Permasalahan tersebut adalah money politic, keterlibatan oknum pejabat atau PNS, dugaan pidana Pemilu, yang bersifat terstruktur dan masif yang berpengaruh terhadap hasil Pemilu atau Pemilukada. MK tidak mengabaikan tuntutan keadilan sunbstantif sebab MK tetap melakukan pemeriksaan secara menyeluruh terhadap perkara yang telah memenuhi persyaratan tenggang waktu, kedudukan hukum, obyek pemohonan, serta jumlah persentase selisih perolehan suara antara pemohon dengan pihak terkait, MK perlu membuat terobosan hukum guna mewujudkan keadilan secara substantif.

Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu yuridis normatif dan menggunakan sumber hukum primer, sekunder dan tersier, dengan menerapkan beberapa jenis pendekatan yaitu pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan kasus. Keseluruhan sumber hukum dianalisis secara penalaran dan sistematik. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan dapat diketahui Kedudukan Sanksi Pidana Mati pada Tindak Pidana Narkotika” (Kajian Kebijakan Hukum Pidana). Negara Indonesia masih mempertahankan menerapkan sanksi pidana mati, sebagai upaya atau benteng terakhir terhadap pemidanaan. Sanksi pidana mati diterapkan pada kejahatan narkotika termasuk pembuat, bandar dan pengedar. Kejahatan narkotika bagi pembuat, bandar dan pengedar merupakan kejahatan yang berat, serius dan mengacam kehidupan manusia. Jika sanksi pidana mati dihapuskan maka benteng terakhir untuk pemidanan tidak ada. Dari hasil penelitian diharapkan dapat memberikan sumbangan guna referensi atau pertimbangan dalam penyelesaian tindak pidana narkotika atau kasus-kasus yang lain yang diancam dengan sanksi pidana mati.

Pembinaan dan bimbingan kepada klien oleh Balai Pemasyarakatan sangat penting dalam mendukung program Pemerintah dalam mengurangi tindak kejahatan, khususnya tindak pidana narkotika. Pembinaan dan bimbingan kepada klien narkoba oleh Bapas saat ini hanya diberikan bagi klien yang mengajukan Pembebasan Bersyarat, Cuti Menjelang Bebas dan Cuti Bersyarat. Tujuan dari pembinaan dan bimbingan tersebut adalah setelah narapidana bebas atau keluar dari Lembaga Pemasyarakatan mempunyai keahlian dan yang terpenting yaitu tidak melakukan kejahatan kembali. Penelitian ini termasuk dalam tipe penelitian deskriptif analitis dengan metode pendekatan yuridis empiris untuk melihat secara lengkap permasalahan penelitian yang bersumber dari data primer dan data sekunder. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan cara studi lapangan (wawancara) dan studi kepustakaan, data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara kualitatif dan disajikan dalam bentuk deskriptif. Hasil penelitian ini diketahui bahwa klien narkoba di Balai Pemasyarakatan Pati pada tahun 2016 jumlahnya adalah 61 orang, terdiri dari 59 laki-laki dan 2 perempuan. Pada tahun 2017 jumlah narapidana binaan di Bapas Pati jumlahnya ada 78 Narapidana, yang terdiri dari 72 laki-laki dan 6 perempuan, dengan demikian jumlah narapidana di Bapas Pati dari tahun 2016 ke tahun 2017 mengalami peningkatan. Peran Bapas sangat strategis dalam membina dan membimbing narapidana, karena Bapas mempunyai tanggungjawab yang besar, yaitu mendidik dan membina narapidana untuk menjadi pribadi yang lebih baik dan dapat diterima kembali di masyarakat. Kendala-kendala yang muncul dalam melakukan bimbingan terhadap klien narkoba di Balai Pemasyarakatan (BAPAS) Pati, antara lain terbatasnya petugas di Bapas Pati, minimnya anggaran, masih adanya klien yang kurang bersungguh-sungguh dalam mengikuti bimbingan dan pembinaan serta sarana dan prasarana di Bapas Pati yang kurang. Konsep pembimbingan yang baik bagi klien di masa mendatang, bagi klien warga binaan pada umumnya dan klien warga binaan kasus narkoba pada khususnya yaitu dengan membimbing warga binaan dari awal, yaitu dari sejak warga binaan masuk ke Rutan atau Lapas.

Organizing events / ceremonies has become a part of human daily life related to important events, both with the life of the nation, state, community, organization and family in various types of events for various purposes. During this time the practice of show host was commonly introduced and carried out by adults. Even though for the sake of developing talents, interests and creativity the guidelines for bringing this event are also worthy of being known by children and can be introduced to elementary school age. This will certainly be useful for various activities held by children in their schools and outside schools that require the ability of children to dare to speak in public. The method used is case study. The results and discussion show that the implementation of the Master of Ceremony guidelines for elementary school students includes: MC appearance, MC position, attitudes and ability of MC, use of MC language and MC method closed the event in the success of the event.

Border, Environment, Neighbourhood
Authors: Berszán István

In our academic environment, borders are usually treated within the territorial-institutional demarcation or the political resistance against such actions. In his essay “What is a Border?” Étienne Balibar focuses on political examples. What kind of demarcation is at work here? What kind of boundaries integrate everything in the space of social historical relations as if there was nothing else outside us? Politically speaking, we have created the institution of border, but according to the Australian philosopher Jeff Malpas, our being-in-the-world implies all-encompassing places as the material condition for the appearance of things and living creatures. The Hungarian term “határ” (border) has a specific meaning referring to the natural environment of a settlement: not a concrete line, but a field with depth around the built habitat of people. Can we apply a border theory based on political issues to our neighbourhood with non-human creatures? To what extent will the concept of border be changed if we consider different spaces of contact making? Through the close reading of some fragments from Henry David Thoreau’s Walden and Jack London’s White Fang, my paper shows how literature and the arts help us ask and investigate such questions.
The Frost in Faulkner: Walls and Borders of Modern Metaphor
Authors: Peiu Anca
Published: May 2019

My paper discusses the dialogue between Robert Frost’s verse and William Faulkner’s works: from the first poems he published as a young writer, especially in his debut volume The Marble Faun (1924), to The Hamlet (1940), an acknowledged novel of maturity. Three world-famous poems: “Birches,” “Mending Wall,” “Nothing Gold Can Stay” will represent here Frost’s metaphorical counterpart. The allegorical borders thus crossed are those between Frost’s lyrical New England setting and the Old South of Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha diegesis; between (conventional patterns of) Romanticism and Modernism – in both writers’ cases; between poetry and prose; between “live metaphor” and “emplotment” (applying Paul Ricoeur’s theory of “semantic innovation”); between (other conventional patterns of) regionalism and (actual) universality. Frost’s uniqueness among the American modern poets owes much of its vital energy to his mock-bucolic lyrical settings, with their dark dramatic suggestiveness. In my paper I hope to prove that Frost’s lesson was a decisive inspiration for Faulkner, himself an atypical modern writer. If Faulkner’s fiction is pervaded by poetry, this is so because he saw himself as a “poet among novelists.” Faulkner actually started his career under the spell of Frost’s verse – at least to the same extent to which he had once emulated the spirit of older and remoter poets, such as Keats or Swinburne.
The Integration of the Armenian Immigrants in István Lakatos’s Siculia
Authors: Pap Levente
Published: May 2019

The relatively short history of the Transylvanian Principality (one hundred and fifty years or so) was full of unexpected changes. From the tragic Battle of Mohács, fought against the Ottoman invasion (1526), until the Diploma Leopoldinum, which integrated the Principality in the huge Habsburg Empire, events like the rise of Lutheran, Calvinian or Unitarian reforms, the Catholic Reformation or Counter-Reformation – despite the Edict of Torda in 1568, which declared religious tolerance and freedom of conscience – brought forth more disagreements. In the 1670s a new population coming from Moldova appeared in the Principality: the Armenians. The history of the establishment of this population was mentioned by the Catholic priest István Lakatos in his work Siculia (1702). Through the analysis of this work, we search for answers to the question regarding the relatively short integration period of this ethnic group.
Crossing the Borders of Teaching English with the Help of Band of Brothers
Authors: Imre Attila
Published: May 2019

The present article discusses the popularity of English since World War II, which has turned to a decisive lingua franca in Europe over the past decades and has been a major component of the thriving language industry. Our hypothesis is that when it comes to teaching foreign languages, most notably English, the inclusion of translation is rather limited (at least in Eastern Europe), and translation is even “stigmatized and excluded” from instruction (cf. Venuti 2013). However, multimedia products from the USA, most notably Hollywood movies, are highly popular among teenagers – thus, we argue for the benefits of watching (together with their scripts and subtitles) and using them as “natural” sources of language which may be used to counterbalance the textbooks and grammar books originating from the UK. We exemplify specific grammar- and vocabulary-related border crossings of institutionalized language teaching (e.g. Subject–Verb disagreement or double negative) from Band of Brothers, a highly popular TV mini-series. We also highlight the importance of the target language and individual norms when translating or subtitling taboo words. The conclusion section mentions the effectiveness of translations through subtitles, knowing that the effort is diminished when learning and entertainment is combined (cf. Caimi 2006) in the hope of serving the real needs of the learners.
An Analysis of Ethnic Influence on Language: Mandarin or Xinjiang Mandarin?
Authors: Gao Maomao
Published: May 2019

This paper aims to investigate lexical borrowings from ethnic languages to standard Mandarin. Data are collected through daily observation after years of living in Xinjiang, China. The data suggest that phonetic loans and hybrid loans are the major approaches in lexical borrowings from Uyghur, Russian, and Persian. Two motivations behind Uyghur borrowings into Mandarin are discussed: cultural borrowings and core borrowings. Cultural borrowings are new objects, concepts of ethnic origins, which are new to Han Chinese communities. Core borrowings are Mandarin words which have been replaced by Uyghur. However, core borrowings are not associated with the prestige of the donor language in this case; instead, frequency, marker, friendliness, and religious consideration are the major reasons. In addition, this paper analyses the strategies of lexical borrowings from ethnic languages in Mandarin. It further discusses the cultural backgrounds behind lexical borrowings. The lexical borrowings from ethnic languages into Mandarin suggest the openness and inclusiveness of Chinese language and culture.
Translingual Practice and Transcultural Connections in Assia Djebar’sLa Femme sans sépulture
Authors: Boussoualim Malika
Published: May 2019

La Femme sans sépultureis one of Djebar’s recent publications which carries on with the author’s self-proclaimed project of recreating an Arabo-Berber past in a French text. The recreation process is achieved through writing in French, which is invaded by Algerian women’s oral voices. In this article, I will argue that French and Algerian oral languages – Arabic and Berber – mutually influence each other, allowing the emergence of new linguistic structures. This is evidenced in the text by the use of free indirect discourse which allows the oral to modify French while being modified by it. Relying on Suresh Canagarajah’s studies on cross-language relations, the mutual relations between Algerian orality and French are interpreted as translingual practices aimed to promote transcultural communication.
The Translation of Ellipsis as Identity Marker in the Literary Dialogue
Authors: Arhire Mona
Published: May 2019

Apart from the ellipsis occurring in discourse as a fairly common cohesive device, the literary dialogue oftentimes uses ellipsis as a stylistic or rhetorical device or as a means of endowing characters with idiolectal or sociolectal features. This paper examines such instances of ellipsis which contribute to the construction of the literary heroes’ identity through their speech, while providing them with features distinguishing them from the other characters either in terms of social identity or emotional state. The study is based on examples depicted from the dialogue of a number of literary works written in English and selected so as to exhibit a variety of functions which ellipsis acquires to complete some heroes’ identity or state of mind. Considering the importance of the information embedded in such ellipses, a contrastive approach to translation is obvious. The analysis focuses on the translation of ellipsis from English into Romanian and scrutinizes the situations when structural differences between English and Romanian prevent formal equivalence, which triggers an important loss of information in translation. The findings lead to conclusions relative to translation solutions that can be adopted to compensate for the scarcity of structural similarities between the two languages in contact in translation.
The Image of Women in Romanian Advertisements: The 1930s. A Discourse Analysis Approach
Authors: Nechifor Andreea , Dimulescu Cristina
Published: May 2019

This article aims at picturing the image of women as portrayed in Romanian advertising during the 1930s. Torn between forward-looking associations fighting for equal rights and traditionalist tendencies confining the woman to the household, the female image, as captured by adverts, underwent spectacular changes, as a reflection of the mentalities and implications generated by the historical and social background.
Bengáli Tűz: A Spectrum of Intercultural Transfer
Authors: Gaur Savita
Published: May 2019

A definite change occurs when two cultures interact and exchange information, which leads to the transformation in their respective cultures. Bengáli Tűz (Fire of Bengal) is a famous Hungarian journal and is often described as a travel journal or a novelistic voyage, which comes from the era of the early twentieth century and displays some impeccable shades of intercultural transfer. A Hungarian housewife went to India with her husband in 1929 and stayed there for three years while recording her personal experiences in a journal known as Bengáli Tűz in present time. Rózsa Hajnóczy’s journey started with a cultural shock that ended up in making her a knowledgeable person regarding a new culture. It is a chain of prominent events, narrating the story of how the author’s perspective about life met with a change and how she gained some openness and became culturally transformed. She had tears in her eyes when she left Hungary and came to India, as she was reluctant to leave her home, but after three years, when she departed from India, she again cried, but this time it was not for either India or Hungary. Her eyes were wet as she missed the notion of the entire “world” under the same roof. Other nationalities in this travel journal also underwent cultural transformation. The journal also showcases other compelling and significant topics, which makes it a tempting piece to read and an authentic piece of literature. Bengáli Tűz can be analysed from various points of view, of which here I chose “intercultural transfer”, but I am fully aware that a postcolonial reading would also offer fascinating insights into the journal.
Virtual and Face-To-Face Academic Conferences: Comparison and Potentials
Authors: Sá Maria José , Ferreira Carlos Miguel , Serpa Sandro
Published: May 2019

Academic conferences have always been privileged spaces and moments for the dissemination of new scientific knowledge, as well as for social interaction and for the establishment and development of social networks among scientists. However, the virtual dimension of conferences, in which individuals are not physically present in the same place, begins to emerge as an increasingly used possibility, which implies a different framing of these scientific events. This paper seeks to comparatively analyse several models of academic conferences, putting forth their advantages, limitations and potentials. Furthermore, it also seeks to reasonably envision the importance and challenges to be faced in the near future. The analysis allows concluding that virtual conferences tend to take on an increasingly central role in this type of scientific dissemination, but without totally relegating the conference mode with face-to-face interaction. Moreover, there may be conferences that emerge as a hybrid between these two types of conferences, in an attempt to provide their main benefits to the various participants. However, the insufficient literature on this topic calls for the need to develop and deepen studies in this area that allow understanding this academic and social, but also economic phenomenon, in its broader implications.
