Deconstructing the standpoint of female ex-convicts represented in the TV series Dapur Napi
Authors: Sriharyani Yuni
Published: October 2024

Background: The representation of female ex-convicts, particularly in Indonesia, remains biased despite the increasing number of ex-convict narratives. This study focuses on addressing this gap by examining the TV series “Dapur Napi” on Vidio, exploring how the series illustrates power disparities in the reintegration of female ex-convicts into society and how the series uses hyperbolic dramatization of female ex-convicts for entertainment purposes. Purpose: This research aims to critically analyze how societal power discrepancies are represented in the media and how media constructs the identity and reality of female ex-convicts in “Dapur Napi” through the lens of standpoint theory. Methods: Employing Critical Discourse Analysis by Norman Fairclough, this research dissects the textual, discursive practice, and sociocultural practice dimensions of the TV series using a qualitative approach. Results: The study’s results reveal the portrayal of female ex-convicts, emphasizing complexities in identity construction, societal rejection, and the dual role of media in both entertainment and norm reinforcement. Implications: This research can further develop the discussion on Standpoint Theory, particularly providing insights into inequalities in the representation of marginalized female ex-convicts in popular media. Practically, this research can advocate for more accurate and diverse portrayals, and promote media literacy to challenge stereotypes and promote social inclusion.

Published: October 2024

Background: The convergence of film, teaching, and inclusive education research on education has received much attention recently because it can potentially improve educational experiences and create social change. Purpose: This intersection of disciplines provides educators an immense tool for engaging children, cultivating empathy, and addressing social and cultural inequities. Using film's emotional connection and narrative force, educators may build more diverse and efficient learning environments that meet the different needs of their students. Methods: This study used existing data from Scopus to analyze the intersection of film, teaching, and inclusive education using bibliometric quantitative publications studies to assess academic influence. It entails analyzing citations, publication trends, and other bibliographic information. Results: The findings underline the importance of utilizing films to encourage inclusive school practices. Films can reduce socioeconomic inequities, raise cultural knowledge, and improve inclusive teaching techniques. This study underlines the relevance of using film in instructional approaches to promote inclusive education practices and increase learning results. Films are exhibited to promote critical thinking about teaching methods, interpersonal relationships, and classroom ethics. Conclusion: Introducing film into teaching techniques can boost student engagement, improve critical thinking abilities, and raise cultural understanding. Subsequently, this bibliometric study provides a helpful overview of the present research environment in films, teaching, and inclusive education, serving as a foundation for academics to investigate and introduce new modern topics from various regional and cultural perspectives. Implications: Future research should examine the confluence of films, teaching, and inclusive education, as well as the ramifications of these encounters for educational settings, and compare them across study areas and locations or other relevant scopes.
La política de defensa de la UE ante la guerra en Ucrania: ¿superando la condición de “small power”?
Authors:   Profesora de Relaciones Internacionales, Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociología, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Rodríguez Prieto Victoria
Published: October 2024

La Unión Europea (UE) ha ofrecido una respuesta significativa ante la guerra en Ucrania. Especialmente, destaca su apoyo a Kíev a través de medidas que nacen en el marco la Política Común de Seguridad y Defensa (PCSD), sobre todo en el ámbito de la defensa. Resulta relevante el respaldo dado al Ejército ucraniano a través del Fondo Europeo de Apoyo a la Paz (FEAP); de las denominadas leyes de apoyo a la producción de municiones y de adquisición común (conocidas, respectivamente, por sus siglas en inglés ASAP y EDIRPA), o la puesta en marcha de la misión militar EUMAM Ucrania. Estas últimas iniciativas muestran cómo, a la luz de la agresión rusa contra Ucrania, la PCSD presenta un desarrollo inédito –aunque aún parcial– que permite a la UE avanzar hacia la superación de su tradicional condición de small power.

Study on the Practice of Integrating Red Cultural Resources into Civics Classes in Colleges and Universities in the New Media Era
Authors: Chen Jian , Bao Yijun , Wang Kongyan
Published: October 2024

This paper employs the technology of comprehensive analysis and processing of information from multiple sources to integrate thematic databases of cultural resources from various collections into multiple sources. We can use virtual reality and network technology to simulate and interact with cultural resources in both red and civics classrooms. The research was conducted at the University of G on the topic of using red cultural resources in the teaching of civic and political science classes, and questionnaires were issued. The results of the survey show that only 13.14% of the students said that they know red culture very well, and the problem of insufficient knowledge of red culture persists in the current traditional civics teaching. 88.3% of the students think that there is a certain potential for using VR technology in the practical teaching of civics courses in colleges and universities about red culture. Furthermore, 65.4% of the students express a strong willingness to continue their education through the use of this innovative VR technology-based teaching method. This paper’s method has the potential to significantly enhance the effectiveness of human education.
Multidimensional Scale Analysis and Modeling of Emotional Space in Yao Music
Authors: Pan Jie
Published: October 2024

The research content of this paper gives a detailed analysis of the system structure of the music emotion recognition system. In the process of music feature extraction and recognition, the system first reads the note queue and tempo information queue of the format music and then analyzes and calculates the basic features of the music, tonal and melodic features, etc., respectively. The content of the text set is projected into a three-dimensional visual space using the multidimensional scale analysis method, and then the emotional theme is obtained by dividing the class groups. The samples from the Yao music database are selected as the data source for music emotion research, and performance analysis is performed. The results prove that the method of this paper can effectively perform feature extraction on Yao music files, with an average misdetection rate of only 0.09% and a recognition rate of more than 83% in all cases. The musical structure of Yao Village Impression can be broken down into five parts. The musical melodies mostly consist of major second and minor third intervals. The emotional labeling of structures 1 and 4 in the cluster analysis is distributed in four quadrants, with a preference for pleasurable emotions. Structure 2 was more concentrated in quadrants 1, 4. These emotion distribution results are consistent with the music depicting the beauty of Yao village and the emotional life of Yao people.

(P.) kerteszi, Chromatomyia dorsata, Phytomyza kugleri and Pseudonapomyza vota being from their northernmost occurrence limits and usually the first record from Central Europe. Cerodontha (Dizygomyza) eriophori (first record outside Poland) has been found in a new southernmost locality, similarly as was also Chromatomyia rhaetica Griffiths, 1980. The biodiversity of species of the family Agromyzidae in particular large-sized protected areas of the Gemer region is discussed. Thanks to recent intensive research, the highest number of species was found in the Muránska planina National Park (250) and in the Cerová vrchovina PLA (198), which is significantly more than in the other protected areas of similar extent in Slovakia that have been studied in detail for Diptera up to the present. A new checklist of Agromyzidae for the fauna of Slovakia is presented, which now includes 414 species.
Fagivorina arenaria (Geometridae, Lepidoptera) endangered species of preserved mountain beech forests: new records from the Czech Republic
Authors: Kuras Tomáš , Beneš Jiří , Kašák Josef , Spitzer Lukáš , Sitek Jan
Published: October 2024

We summarize the published data on occurrence of Fagivorina arenaria (Hufnagel, 1767) in the Czech Republic. The species belongs to the European endangered moths. It occurs only very locally and rarely in the Czech Republic. Published records come mainly from the border mountain ranges. Newly we present records from the Beskydy Mts. and the Hrubý Jeseník Mts. On the basis of our observations and published data, F. arenaria can be considered as a representative species of preserved mountain herb-rich beech forests. Due to the very local occurrence of the species, particular associations with mountain primeval forest and decline from some former localities, we argue that the species should be listed in the Red List of Invertebrates of the Czech Republic in the higher categories of threat, i.e. endangered or critically endangered.

Extension and the Ground in Motion’s Gestalt: Literal and metaphoric
Authors: Mastandrea Stefano , Kennedy John M.
Published: October 2024

We propose that in pictures both the extended limbs of actors and the ground are involved in gestalts for movement. Limbs extend to suggest more motion literally when a dancer is in air and refer to a canonical pose when on the ground. A running pony’s curled limbs off the ground depict fast action literally. A horse’s flying-gallop off the ground suggests speedy motion metaphorically. Cast shadows indicate the actor’s location with respect to the ground. We consider extended and curled limbs, on-ground and off, in literal and metaphoric pictures.
The Gestalt of Gestalt pedagogy
Authors: Schübel Thomas
Published: October 2024

Applied Gestalt theory in the tradition of Gestalt psychology on the one hand and Gestalt pedagogy in the tradition of Gestalt therapy on the other hand are two different ways of thinking about education. Gestalt pedagogy proves to be compatible in many ways with current positions in education studies, in particular those of phenomenological pedagogy, dialogical pedagogy and theories of meaningful learning. All three approaches could provide a common ground for the two Gestalt traditions – not only for bringing them into relation, but also for strengthening their theoretical frameworks and thus enriching education studies.
Drawn Stories Technique: Method and Concluding TherapeuticTurn
Authors: Trombini Giancarlo , Trombini Elena , Stemberger Gerhard
Published: October 2024

The developmental age is often characterized by problems of somatization of psychological problems and conflicts: Anorexia, enuresis, encopresis and persistent constipation. The Drawn-Story (DS) technique presented in this article was developed to enhance and support the narrative-dialogic relationship in the psychodiagnostic and psychotherapeutic context – initially primarily for work with children of developmental age, but later also for other patient groups. It is a projective drawing technique that was developed by Giancarlo Trombini in the 1970s based on his training in Gestalt psychology and psychoanalysis at the University of Bologna and has since been further developed by him, Elena Trombini and their colleagues and also used in other fields of application.

This article uses an early case history of DS to explore central aspects of this technique in greater depth. It also explores the question of whether the Concluding Therapeutic Turn observed in therapies with adults can also be observed in developmental age therapy according to the criterion of reconciliation of time perspectives.
Aus den Anfängen der GTA und der Gestalttheoretischen Psychotherapie – Ein Rückblick anlässlich der 80. Geburtstage von Hans-Jürgen Walter und Hilarion Petzold
Authors: Kriz Jürgen
Published: October 2024

In diesem Beitrag werden die Anfänge der GTA und der Gestalt Theory ab Ende der 1970er Jahre nachgezeichnet. Diese Anfänge waren angesichts der Zerschlagung der Gestaltpsychologie und der Vertreibung eines großen Teils ihrer akademischen Vertreter durch das Nazi Regime überaus schwierig: War mit dem Ende des sog. „Dritten Reiches“ die Nazi-Ideologie in Deutschland noch keineswegs überwunden, was sich u.a. auch darin zeigte, dass man sich nicht erinnern mochte, welche bedeutende international geachteter Richtung mit der Berliner Schule der Gestaltpsychologie vor dem Nazi-Regime die Psychologie in Deutschland prägte, geschweige denn, dass man sich bemüht hätte, führende Vertreter zurück zu gewinnen. Der Fokus der Darstellung ist aber auch auf die beiden Persönlichkeiten Hans-Jürgen Walter und Hilarion Petzold gerichtet, die aus der Gestalttherapie kommend umfassende Konzepte von Psychotherapeutischem Verständnis entwickelten, die unter der Bezeichnung „Gestalttheoretische Psychotherapie“ und „Integrative Therapie“ wichtige Grundsteine auch für heutige Diskurse darstellen. Beide konnten am 25. März 2024 ihren 80. Geburtstag feiern, wobei die Gratulation seitens der GTA auch das Gedenken an Rainer Kästl einschließt, der ebenfalls für die Entwicklung der Gestalttheoretischen Psychotherapie Bedeutendes beigetragen hat, seinen 75. Geburtstag in 2024 aber aufgrund seines frühen Todes (2020) nicht begehen konnte.
Making sense of colour-coded personality profiles in developmental contexts within organizations
Authors: Metselaar Carine , Derksen Maarten
Published: October 2024

In many organizations colour-coded personality questionnaires impact the way people communicate with each other about themselves and others. However, there has never been much research interest in what these colour profiles mean to people who have received such a profile. We believe such research is needed, as these profiles may affect how people experience themselves and are perceived by others in the organization. In this constructionist qualitative study, 29 people were interviewed about their experiences with one of four colour-coded personality instruments, with a focus on how these profiles related to their sense of self. The idiosyncratic ways profiles were interpreted by recipients demonstrate that identification with one’s profile should not be taken as an indication of fully agreeing with the interpretation according to the model. People who identify with their profile, may construct their own stories around the meaning of their profiles, in line with how they see themselves. When these instruments are part of a company initiative, processes need to be established that allow people to own the results in a way that means something to them and work with the consequences of that instead of the results of the questionnaire as such.
A glance at the COVID-19 epidemic control system in Taiwan: implications for organizational crisis management and leadership in black swan events
Authors: Chuang Szufang
Published: October 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic caused substantial impacts and uncertainty in the world. For human resource leaders compelled into new roles in light of the pandemic, this paper used an exemplary case – Taiwan – to (1) discuss lessons and takeaways from the Taiwanese government’s and organizations’ response to the pandemic and (2) identify the structure of a pandemic control model and effective leadership behaviours at the national level that may be adopted in business settings to decrease the disruptive effects of a crisis. While efficient subsystems in organizational governance, policy, leadership, and culture are essential to combat a crisis, the evidence from Taiwan’s case in these contexts highlights the importance of various infrastructures and communication pathways in crisis management. The study aims to advance the understanding of effective responses and leadership skills in times of crisis and contribute to human resource literature and policy development in business settings. Human resource professionals and leaders play an important role as change agents to reduce the disruptive effects of a black swan event and can benefit from this study to be prepared for future crises. Implications for international human resource interventions in crisis management and leadership and recommendations for future research are provided.

Published: October 2024

Background and Objectives

Autologous skin graft (ASG) transplantation is a challenging approach but a promising option for patients to prevent postoperative esophageal stricture. Nonetheless, the current strategies require improvement. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) before skin graft transplantation for extensive esophageal defects after endoscopic resection.

Methods

Standardized complete circular endoscopic resection (5 cm in length) was performed in 27 pigs allocated into 3 groups. The artificial ulcers were treated with a fully covered esophageal stent (control group), ASG (ASG group), and submucosal injection of PRP with ASG (PRP-ASG group). Macroscopic evaluation and histological analysis of the remolded esophagus were performed 7, 14, and 28 days after surgery.

Results

The macroscopic evaluation indicated that submucosal injection of PRP before transplantation effectively promoted the survival rate of skin grafts and decreased the rate of mucosal contraction compared with those treated with ASG or stent alone. Histological analysis of submucosal tissue showed that this modified strategy significantly promoted wound healing of reconstructed tissues by enhancing angiogenesis, facilitating collagen deposition, and decreasing inflammation and fibrogenesis.

Conclusions

These findings suggested that PRP might be used as a biological supplement to increase the esophageal skin graft survival rate and improve submucosal tissue remolding in a clinically relevant porcine model. With extremely low mucosal contraction, this novel combination strategy showed the potential to effectively prevent stenosis in extensive esophageal ulcers.
Identification of functional heterogeneity of immune cells and tubular-immune cellular interplay action in diabetic kidney disease
Authors: Bai Yunfeng , Chi Kun , Zhao Delong , Shen Wanjun , Liu Ran , Hao Jing , Cai Guangyan , Chen Xiangmei , Hong Quan
Published: October 2024

Background

Renal inflammation plays key roles in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Immune cell infiltration is the main pathological feature in the progression of DKD. Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) were reported to have antiinflammatory effects on DKD. While the heterogeneity and molecular basis of the pathogenesis and treatment with SGLT2i in DKD remains poorly understood.

Methods

To address this question, we performed a single-cell transcriptomics data analysis and cell cross-talk analysis based on the database (GSE181382). The single-cell transcriptome analysis findings were validated using multiplex immunostaining.

Results

A total of 58760 cells are categorized into 25 distinct cell types. A subset of macrophages with anti-inflammatory potential was identified. We found that Ccl3+ (S100a8/a9 high) macrophages with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial in the pathogenesis of DKD decreased and reversed the dapagliflozin treatment. Besides, dapagliflozin treatment enhanced the accumulation of Pck1+ macrophage, characterized by gluconeogenesis signaling pathway. Cell-cross talk analysis showed the GRN/SORT1 pair and CD74 related signaling pathways were enriched in the interactions between tubular epithelial cells and immune cells.

Conclusions

Our study depicts the heterogeneity of macrophages and clarifies a new possible explanation of dapagliflozin treatment, showing the metabolism shifts toward gluconeogenesis in macrophages, fueling the anti-inflammatory function of M2 macrophages, highlighting the new molecular features and signaling pathways and potential therapeutic targets, which has provided an important reference for the study of immune-related mechanisms in the progression of the disease.
A Method to Estimate Solar Panel Orientation Effectivity
Authors: Kallunki J. , Kauppinen T.
Published: October 2024

In the past years, new photovoltage (solar panel) systems have been installed rapidly, for instance, in regular households. Investment decisions have often been made without knowing all technical facts and information, which are affecting total energy production of photovoltage systems. In this work, we have made a simple model, which shows solar panels energy production with the different orientation angles of solar panel. Our results show that if panels are installed more than 30 degrees from the optimal orientation, the energy production drops drastically. This result applies to both azimuth and tilt angles. The developed model is very adaptive, and it can use any locations and all orientation angles. We confirm our calculation result by making a measurement with a small (30 W) test solar panel. The model and measurement results have a good relationship (correlation coefficient, R
2 = 0.7). The obtained result is satisfactory by taking into account the fact that measurements were made during the variable weather conditions and over long period of time (six months).
Pulmonary consolidations – differential diagnosis of respiratory infections and bronchopulmonary neoplasm – clinical case
Authors: Roxana Mladin , Camil Mihuța , Emanuela Vaștag , Cristian Oancea
Published: October 2024

Bronchopneumonia is defined as an acute infection of the lung parenchyma involving the alveolar territory, associating an inflammation at the level of the bronchioles, most often grafting on a weakened area. The symptoms can be very variable, depending on the severity of the condition. Imaging, the chest X-ray shows multiple nodular or reticulonodular opacities that tend to be irregular and/or confluent. The distribution is often bilateral and asymmetric, predominantly involving the lung bases. The differential diagnosis of bronchopneumonia or the multiple pulmonary nodules described in the presented case is mainly made with pulmonary metastases, due to the increased frequency of diagnosis of pulmonary metastases in the case of multiple pulmonary nodules detected by chest CT; the lung being one of the main sites of metastasis of neoplasms.
A Romanian adaptation of the Recovery Experience Questionnaire: Psychometric properties and measurement invariance across general and educational sector employees
Authors: Albulescu Patricia , Macsinga Irina , Tulbure Bogdan T. , Rusu Andrei
Published: October 2024

Finding a balance between work-invested effort and recovery moments represents one of the key paths to preserving employee health and well-being. The present research aims to facilitate this line of study in the East European context by adapting the Recovery Experience Questionnaire (REQ; Sonnentag & Fritz, 2007) to the Romanian culture. Based on two cross-sectional designs, the REQ was administered online to Romanian employees from various occupations (N = 264, Study 1), and to a sample of Romanian higher education professionals (N = 176, Study 2). Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted, which supported the first-order four-factor structure and the two-factor second-order model of REQ. Nomological validity received support through the expected correlations between the recovery experiences factors and antecedent job demands (i.e., work pressure, role conflict) and an antecedent resource (i.e., autonomy). Criterion validity was sustained by the concurrent relationships with consequences of recovery (i.e., work engagement, job performance, mental and physical health complaints). REQ demonstrated excellent reliability with internal consistencies marginal to or above .90. Moreover, the instrument was invariant across genders and study populations. Overall, the present research suggests that the Romanian version of the REQ is an adequate measure that can be used in this cultural context to assess recovery experiences.
Contact with nature through virtual reality and video: An effective solution for improving self-esteem in adults
Authors: Béclin Florent. , Kosinski Thierry. , Rusinek Stéphane.
Published: October 2024

It is widely acknowledged that exposure to natural environments offers emotional, cognitive, and behavioural benefits. However, some individuals may face difficulties in accessing these areas frequently and conveniently due to urbanisation, disability, or a lack of time. As a result, research has explored the advantages of nature substitutes, such as photographs, videos, or virtual reality (VR), and has demonstrated their ability to provide psychological benefits. Therefore, our study aims to examine the impact of these substitutes on enhancing individuals’ self-esteem.

The study involved 236 participants, who were divided into six experimental groups based on the type of exposure (photographs, video, or virtual reality) and the environment (natural or urban). A control group was also exposed to geometric shapes. The participants completed the French version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale three times: upon arrival at the experimental room (baseline), after the rumination induction task (post-induction), and after exposure (post-exposure). The analysis focused on changes in self-esteem scores during the experimental study, considering the type of exposure and its content.

The results suggest that exposure to nature, in any form, enhances self-esteem more than exposure to urban environments or geometric shapes. Additionally, it was found that virtual reality or video exposure to nature produced greater benefits than natural photographs.

In the future, alternative tools may serve as valuable support for individuals who are unable to experience direct contact with nature. However, it is important to recognise that they should be considered as supplementary options rather than exclusive substitutes.
Use of Absorption Heat Pumps to Raise District Cooling Waste Heat Temperature for District Heating Supply in Tallinn: Technical and Economic Analysis
Authors: Kirs Tanel , Sukumaran Sreenath , Latõšov Eduard , Volkova Anna
Published: October 2024

Decarbonisation of District Heating (DH) networks is essential to achieving the European Union’s climate goals. In this context, there is growing interest among DH stakeholders in the recovery and reuse of underutilised heat sources. Waste heat recovery from district cooling (DC) networks offers a compelling option that can be used as input for various heat pump integrated DH solutions. In this regard, absorption heat pumps (AHP) showcase a promising solution to elevate a lower-temperature waste heat source with reduced electricity consumption. However, AHPs are not widely applied in DH context, primarily due to the lack of suitable waste heat sources or the necessary conditions for their effective operation. This article aims to explore various configurations of AHP and their potential integration with DC plant waste heat for DH application. The potential for adopting AHPs to boost efficiency and lower carbon emissions is evaluated through a techno-economic examination of three distinct technological configurations. For Tallinn case study, it was observed that AHPs can be more efficient, reduce energy consumption, and achieve a lower LCOH while being combined with HP condenser cooling. This study is expected to provide a theoretical support for the positive impact of using AHPs to reduce the usage of fossil fuels in the Tallinn DH network.

The purpose of our paper is to prove the existence of the distributional solutions for anisotropic nonlinear elliptic equations with variable exponents, which contain lower order terms dependent on the gradient of the solution and on the solution itself. The terms are weighted, and the main results rely on the possibility of comparing the weights with each other, where the right-hand side is a sum of the natural growth term and the datum f ∈ L
1(Ω). Furthermore the weight function θ(·) is in W̊
1,p→(·) (Ω), with θ(·) > 0 and connected with the coefficient b(·) ∈ L
1(Ω) of the lower order term.

Background: Benign tumors are collections of cells, tissues or organs that grow slowly and usually enlarge with peripheral expansion, pushing on surrounding structures. Squamous odontogenic tumor (SOT) is a very rare benign epithelial intraosseous tumor, which can cause arising from the neoplastic transformation of Malassez epithelial cells on the lateral surface of the periodontal ligament. Objective : To discuss the management of odontogenic squamous tumors using conservative surgical excision. The goal of treatment for oral myxoma was surgical excision. Case management : A 51 year old female patient came to the SULTAN FATAH Hospital Polyclinic, Demak Regency on May 26 2023 with complaints of a lump on the upper left gum of the jaw. The patient felt the lump about 1 year ago. The patient does not feel pain in the lump. Clinical examination showed a lump in the upper jaw on the front of the patient's left side.Conclusion : Management of the patient undergoing surgical excision of the tumor with general anesthesia and infiltration in the case of odontogenic squamous tumor, based on subjective examination the patient complained of a lump with a tumor mass measuring 10 x 8 cm, redder than the surrounding tissue, round, not moving, attached to the gums of the upper jaw.

Background: Anterior crossbite is an abnormality in the sagittal direction of one or more maxillary anterior teeth against the mandibular teeth. Although the incidence of this case is small, it can cause aesthetic problems, tooth abrasion, caries, gingivitis, bone resorption, and gingival recession. Case Report: A 24-year-old female patient presented with her upper front teeth positioned behind her lower teeth and a noticeable gap between her upper front teeth. She exhibited an anterior crossbite involving teeth 22 to 32, a central diastema, and crowding of the upper and lower front teeth. Treatment was carried out using a fixed orthodontic with an MBT system and the bracket placement of 22 in an inverted position to get a labial torque effect on the roots. Conclusion: The use of pre-adjusted brackets with the MBT system and the placement of the lateral incisive bracket in an inverted position successfully corrected the anterior crossbite in these teeth both at the crown and root without additional wire bending or auxiliary spring.
PAR-DELÀ LE FÉMININ NIÉ. POUR L’ÉTABLISSEMENT D’UN NOUVEL ORDRE SYMBOLIQUE DE LA DIFFÉRENCE
Authors: BOCCALI Renato
Published: October 2024

À partir des réflexions d’Adriana Cavarero sur le monde grec classique, nous proposons de mettre en évidence le rôle du féminin comme déstabilisateur de l’ordre masculin, en particulier, à travers les contre-récits offerts par les voix des femmes qui réagissent à l’imposition du silence et à la passivation par la prise de parole. La stratégie herméneutique du « pillage » du classique et le dévoilement de la matrophobie originelle nous permettra de repenser l’ordre symbolique de la différence à partir de la natalité en tant que pivot pour penser une nouvelle ontologie relationnelle.
AUTONOMIE CORPORELLE DES FEMMES ET CONTRÔLE DE L'ÉTAT EN ROUMANIE DANS LE ROMAN FONTAINE DE TREVI PAR GABRIELA ADAMEŞTEANU. UNE ANALYSE DES CO-TEXTES HISTORIQUE ET LITTERAIRE
Authors: MARINESCU Roxana-Elisabeta
Published: October 2024

Cet article porte sur le thème de l’autonomie corporelle des femmes, plus spécifiquement le droit à l’avortement, la violence de genre envers les droits reproductifs, notamment le contrôle stricte des autorités de l'État en Roumanie pendant les dernières décennies de la dictature communiste et la période qui suit la chute du régime en 1989 jusqu’à présent. Pour l’époque actuelle,nous allons aussi nous pencher sur la situation en Pologne et en Hongrie. Notre analyse s’appuie sur la théorie littéraire du nouvel historicisme (ou matérialisme culturel), qui postule que les éléments historiques et littéraires fonctionnent comme des cotextes. Le décret 770/1966, qui interdisait la contraception et l'avortement, représente le cotexte historique, tandis que le roman Fontaine de Trevi (2018) par Gabriela Adameşteanu représente le co-textelittéraire.
UN FÉMINISME DÉCOLONIAL POUR UN ASPECT RELATIONNEL DU POUVOIR DANS L’ŒUVRE DE LÉONORA MIANO
Authors: BENSLIMANE Loubaba , GHOUATI Sanae
Published: October 2024

Le pouvoir se définit chez Max Weber par « la probabilité pour un acteur d’être en mesure d’imposer sa volonté dans le cadre d’une relation sociale, malgré les résistances éventuelles » (Weber, 1947). Léonora Miano donne la parole aux subalternes dans son œuvre pour réécrire l’histoire africaine. Ainsi, un nouveau discours se construit dans son récit à travers une écriture hybride qui vise à renégocier la place de la femme et son rapport au pouvoir dans les sociétés africaines. Adoptant une approche systémique, nous aspirons à démontrer comment un nouveau contrat social prend forme dans l’œuvre de L. Miano.
LE CORPS FÉMININ AU PRISME DE LA DYADE 199 SOUMISSION/DOMINATION DANS L’ÉCRITURE DU « JE » DE CAMILLE LAURENS DANS CELLE QUE VOUS CROYEZ (2016) ET DE TOURIA OULEHRI DANS LA FUREUR D’AIMER (2020)
Authors: ZIRARI Abdelhadi , NERCI Najate
Published: October 2024

Cet article propose une analyse comparative de deux récits d’expériences de femmes traversées dans leur chair par le regard et le discours phallocentriques de l’autre-masculin, occultant leur être-au-monde au prisme des dimensions sexuelle et gestationnelle de leur corps. Cette étude tentera de voir dans quelle mesure l’écriture du « je » de Camille Laurens dans Celle que vous croyez et celle de Touria Oulehri dans La fureur d’aimer concourent à une remise en question de la dyade soumission/domination, laquelle recèle une déconstruction de la mainmise sur le corps féminin et des représentations de la féminité dans les sociétés patriarcales.
Legislation of Luxemburg on Natural Resources of Celestial Bodies and International Law
Authors: Vylegzhanin A. N. , Krokhina P. A.
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCTION. This article examines the space laws adopted by Luxembourg in 2017 and 2020, which allow private persons, subject to the conditions provided by these laws, to explore and use the natural resources of celestial bodies. At the same time, the authors proposed an international legal assessment of these laws.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study of the designated laws of Luxembourg is based on the scientific works of domestic and foreign specialists in international space law, especially in terms of the analysis of previously adopted national legislation on space activities. Both general scientific methods of cognition and methods of legal sciences, including formal-legal and comparative-legal, are used.

 RESEARCH RESULTS. The analysis of Luxembourg laws in the general context of applicable international law presented in the article shows that these laws have basically adopted the new US legal space policy, initially outlined in the US Commercial Space Launch Competition Act of 2015. At the same time, Luxembourg laws on space activities have proposed a number of legal mechanisms that differ from the US ones, which further exacerbates the interstate competition for a more favorable legal environment for private persons to invest in economic activities in space.

 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. International legal issues of the use of outer space, including those affecting the status of celestial bodies, have long been resolved at the universal level, primarily on the basis of the Outer Space Treaty of 1967. The situation has changed with the involvement of the United States since 2020 of an increasing number of states in a separate treaty-legal regime of space activities created by the Artemis Agreements, concluded by the United States with more than 40 states. These agreements, in turn, adopted the basic provisions of the new US legislation on natural resource activities in space, starting with the aforementioned US Law of 2015. The basic “space” laws of Luxembourg - the Law on the Exploration and Use of Space Resources of 2017 (which established the national legislative basis for the commercial exploration and use of natural resources of celestial bodies) and the Law on Space Activities of 2020 (which clarified this legislative system), while creating a favorable environment for investments by individuals and legal entities of this state in the development of natural resources of celestial bodies, also have negative international legal consequences for the community of states: Luxembourg, with these laws, supported the separate policy of the United States aimed at revising universal international space law, according to which the use of outer space, including celestial bodies, constituting the “patrimony of all mankind”, “is carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries” (Article I of the Outer Space Treaty of 1967).
