Gheorghe I. Brătianu on the historical borders of Moldova and the place of Bessarabia within the romanian unity. Part I
Authors: Enciu Nicolae
Published: October 2024

More than seven decades after his physical disappearance, Gheorghe I. Brătianu appears as one of the most talented and fruitful Romanian historians, a fact due to the thorough education he had since his early childhood, his versatile erudition, the accuracy of his work, and to his interpretative flexibility. All these exceptional qualities ensured him a place of first rank in Romanian and universal historiography, a prestige undisturbed by the inexorable passing of the years. He believed in historical truth and in the fact that it would win, regardless of the fate of those who served it. For the scholar Gheorghe I. Brătianu, son of Ion I.C. Brătianu and Princess Maria Moruzi Cuza, Great Romania was not a fleeting idea, but an ideal for which he fought with the strength of creative ideas, but also literally, weapons in hand. At the outbreak of the First World War, he volunteered and took part in the battles in the Trotuș valley (1917) and Bucovina (1918), being wounded twice. He also took part in the War for Reunification, taking part in the campaigns in Bukovina (1941) and Crimea (1942). As rightly appreciated by Acad. Șerban Papacostea (1993), „The action of Gh. I. Brătianu’s was straightforwardly carried out in the direction of the broad national interest conceived in the spirit of tradition and the historical mission assumed by his family. The sense of duty, supported by this tradition, inspired both his strength to resist the temptations of power when it strayed from its traditional national purpose, the determination to expose his life on the battlefield when the supreme interests of the nation were at stake and, above all, the strength not to abdicate from the creed of his life when he had to pay for this act of fidelity at the cost of his existence”.
The evolution of the political situation in the north-pontic space and the destiny of some localities on the left bank of the Dniester (XIV-XVIII centuries)
Authors: Chirtoagă Ion
Published: October 2024

Starting from the year 1383 the Principality of Moldova periodically expanded its authority to the east of Dniester. Podolia was part of Moldova in 1383-1387. After 1387, periodically Moldova was introducing its administration in Caraul, Cern and other localities to the east of Dniester. After the establishment in 1634 of the Polish-Tatar demarcation line on Iagorlâc and Codâma (tributaries of the rivers Dniester and Bug), the Dubăsari district was formed to the south of this border, led by a Kamaykam (administrator) of Romanian origin, subordinated to the Crimean Khan. New localities with Romanian population began to appear in the Dubăsari district. After the annexation of this territory by the Russian Empire new localities were founded, that were populated by different ethnic groups.

Authors: Molcosean Alexandru
Published: October 2024

The study discusses the formation and location of agricultural communes on the territory of the existing of The Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (MASSR) during 1924-1930th. In the beginning of the article, the author submits to the analysis the problem of the historiography, concluding that both the number of work collections and their geographical location vary according to the addressed source. The study of the archive documents allowed the creation of an overview on the name of the communes and the place of their establishment. The cartographic material that resulted from the systematization of data allows the extension of the research directions of the rural area on the left bank of the Dniester during the interwar period.
Elaborarea fundamentelor etnoculturale ale identităţii naţionale din RSSM (1944-1954)
Authors: Negru Elena
Published: October 2024

The study addresses an important topic related to the manufacture of ethnocultural bases of national identity in the MSSR in the first decade after its creation. The author analyzes how the theory of ethnogenesis and the history of the ”Moldovan people” was elaborated and how the theorizing regarding the concept of its Slavic and Latin-Slavic origin evolved. An important emphasis is placed on reflecting the discussions on the capitalization of the classical literary heritage, the selective recognition of some representatives of the classical Romanian literature, as well as their inclusion in the literary pantheon of the MSSR as representatives of the ”Moldovan culture”, made in a narrow frame offered by the theoretical scheme on the ”Moldovan people”.

Socio-Cultural Values Necessary for the Upbringing of Nigerian Children
Authors: Okafor Nneka Ifeoma , Okpara Ngozi
Published: October 2024

The tlimst of this paper is to develop an ethical principle from an indigenous moral value necessary for the upbringing of a Nigerian Igbo child, using the Nwanne paradigm which has a close affinity with Ubuntu in IsiZulu. The study is an anthropological work that uses a descriptive methodology, which is qualitative in nature. The findings of the study show the uniqueness of Igbo people, and how their beliefs, social and political systems exert influence on the way their children are socialised. The study also shows that this principle called nwanne plays an essential role in any Igbo person and tends to give more to the Igbo child's overall development if extended to schools. The study concludes that the deviation from (nwanne) communal norm is responsible for the state of moral decadence in the Nigerian society and therefore needs to be stimulated more in children through schools.
Justice as a Pillar of State in the Ethical Ideas of the Sokoto Caliphate Scholars
Authors: Ibrahim Abubakar Zaria
Published: October 2024

Justice as an individual virtue of character is unique in Aristotle's treatment of the virtues in that he feels a need to estabhsh that it exists. In addition to its conception as fairness, justice in philosophy also means law. It is also termed as the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought. In all these cases, the Sokoto Caliphate scholars have a consideration of justice as one of the foundations of leadership, in the sense that the leader has to be fair and at the same time maintains law and order. Using the divine command theory of ethics, the Sokoto Caliphate Scholars maintain that the leader is under obligation to observe justice by restoring to everyone his right. Considering these conceptions, this paper aims to espouse how the Sokoto Caliphate scholars explain justice and link it to ethics of the state. The objective is to show how versed the scholars were at that period in time. Methodology employed is the philosophical analysis of existing concepts in the field of discourse. The findings of the paper is that the concems of the Sokoto scholars show that justice is an ethical good in its own right, not as a means to another desirable end. The significance of this research lies in its promotion of the knowledge and ideals of the early African scholars, especially those of the Nigerian stock.

TARİKATÇI EMİR MUSTAFA BİN ABDULLAH OSMANCIKÎ’NİN TEZAKÎRÜ’N-NÂSÎN FEZÂ’İL-İ YÂSÎN ADLI ESERİ
Authors: Özdemir Ramazan Tugay
Published: October 2024

Türklerin İslamiyet’i kabul etme süreci, İslam tarihinin önemli dönüm noktalarından biridir. Talas Savaşı (751) sonrasında başlayan bu süreç, Karahanlılar gibi önemli Türk devletlerinin İslam’ı benimsemesiyle hız kazanmış ve Selçuklu Devleti’nin yükselişiyle pekişmiştir. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu döneminde ise Türkler, İslam dünyasının siyasi ve kültürel liderlerinden biri haline gelmiştir. İslam’ın kabulüyle birlikte, özellikle Kur’ân tefsir çalışmaları Türk-İslam medeniyetinin en önemli ilmi alanlarından biri olmuştur. Osmanlı döneminde tefsir çalışmaları, hem rivayet (nakle dayalı) hem de dirayet (akıl ve mantığa dayalı) yöntemleriyle yapılmış, bu çalışmalar Türk halkının İslam’a dair anlayışını ve dini uygulamalarını şekillendirmiştir. Osmanlı döneminde, Kur’ân ayetlerinin faziletlerini konu alan fezail gelenekleri de tefsir çalışmaları kadar önemli bir yer tutmuştur. Fezail literatürü, Kur’ân surelerinin ve ibadetlerin manevi getirilerini, sevaplarını ve faziletlerini açıklayan metinlerden oluşur. Bu gelenek, özellikle Yâsîn Suresi gibi halk arasında büyük ilgi gören surelerin faziletlerini konu almış, bu surelerin ne zaman ve nasıl okunması gerektiğine dair pratik öneriler sunmuştur. Yâsîn Suresi, Osmanlı toplumunda “Kur’ân’ın kalbi” olarak anılmış, ölülerin ardından okunması ve manevi yardımlar için tercih edilmesiyle geniş bir kabul görmüştür. Bu bağlamda, Osmanlı dönemi mutasavvıf âlimlerinden Tarikatçı Emir Mustafa bin Abdullah Osmancıkî, Tezakirü’n-Nâsin Fezâ’il-i Yâsîn adlı eserinde, Yâsîn Suresi’nin faziletlerini ve bu surenin İslam toplumundaki yerini derinlemesine ele almıştır. Tarikatçı Emir, fezail geleneğinin bir parçası olarak Yâsîn Suresi’nin ibadetlerde, dualarda ve ölüler için okunduğunda sağladığı manevi yararlara vurgu yapmıştır. Osmanlı halkı arasında bu sureye dair bilinç oluşturma amacıyla yazdığı bu eser, suredeki manevi mesajların daha derinlemesine anlaşılmasını sağlamıştır. Osmanlı Yâsîn tefsir ve fezail geleneği, gerek medreselerde okutulan ders kitapları, gerekse halk arasında yaygın kullanılan eserlerle kendini göstermiştir. Özellikle tasavvufi bir perspektiften yazılan tefsir ve fezail metinleri, Yâsîn Suresi’nin içsel anlamlarına derinlemesine vurgu yaparak Osmanlı toplumunda dini hayatın şekillenmesine katkı sağlamıştır. Ebû İshâkzâde Mehmed Es’ad Efendi’nin Yâsîn Suresi tefsiri ve Tarikatçı Emir’in Tezakirü’n-Nâsin Fezâ’il-i Yâsîn gibi önemli eserler, bu dönemin karakteristik ürünleri arasında yer almaktadır.

Degree of pain in intravenous injection of propofol with intravenous lidocaine administration; A Literature Review Study
Authors: Putra Agung Manik Septiana , Widnyana I Made Gede
Published: October 2024

Intravenous propofol injection is widely used for anesthesia induction and sedation, though it often causes discomfort and pain at the injection site, leading to patient anxiety. Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, has been studied for its ability to reduce this pain by inhibiting sodium channels, thereby decreasing neuronal excitability and pain transmission. Research indicates that intravenous lidocaine effectively reduces the occurrence and intensity of pain during propofol injection. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of intravenous lidocaine in minimizing pain related to propofol injection. A literature review was conducted, analyzing studies from 2018 to 2024 obtained from databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Twelve articles meeting the selection criteria were reviewed. The findings consistently show that intravenous lidocaine significantly lowers the pain associated with propofol injection. Additionally, lidocaine use reduced the required propofol dosage and improved patient satisfaction. The studies suggest that administering intravenous lidocaine before or during propofol injection is a practical approach to reducing injection pain. Future research should focus on optimizing the parameters that enhance lidocaine's analgesic effects, ultimately improving patient comfort and satisfaction in procedures involving sedation.

Optimisation Of The Magnetic Properties Of Amorphous Powder Cores By Consolidating At High Pressures
Authors: Sota Munoz Ángel , Burgos Nerea , Zhukova Valentina , González Julián , Osinalde Mikel , Martín Jose Manuel
Published: October 2024

Amorphous soft magnetic composites (SMCs) are characterised by low-volume fraction of magnetic material and therefore, poor magnetic permeability and saturation magnetisation. In this work, amorphous powder (Fe0.425 Co0.30 Si0.125 B0.15)96.5Nb3Cu0.5) is coated with 10 and 15 vol.% of resin and consolidated at high pressures (up to 2 GPa). Maximisation of particles packaging is obtained by mixing fractions of 0-10 µm and 20-45 µm in a volume ratio of 27:73 vol.%, respectively. Magnetic properties and power losses of SMCs made from 0-10 µm fraction and from the mixed fractions are compared. SMCs made from mixed fractions result in higher permeability but increased power losses. Low power losses (Pcv = 5850 mW/cm3 at f = 1 MHz, B = 50 mT), highest permeability (µ’ = 43.4) and highest saturation magnetisation (Ms = 0.82 T) are obtained with the SMC made from the mixed fractions after annealing and subsequent resin infiltration.

Fatigue Strength Of Heat And Surface Treated Maraging Steel Manufactured By L-PBF
Authors: Tekin Tugce , Naclerio Francesco , Ipek Rasim , Molinari Alberto , Benedetti Matteo
Published: October 2024

The axial fatigue strength of maraging steel produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) was investigated for different heat and surface treatments The following treatments were considered: Direct Aging of the as-built material and a duplex surface treatment consisting in a plasma nitriding followed by a PVD coating. The surface treatment increases the fatigue strength by 40% at 107 cycles, but the improvement decreases with increasing stress amplitude. The improvement is due to the hard diffusion layer, which causes a transition from a surface-initiating failure to an interior-initiating failure at low stress amplitude.
Polylactic Acid (PLA) as Backbone for the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) of Aluminium
Authors: Kukla C. , Momeni V. , Schuschnigg S. , Holzer C.
Published: October 2024

The backbone plays a significant role in the binder system for FFF of metals. Since the backbone is degraded thermally, the temperature for this debinding step should be below the sintering temperature of the involved metal. Thus, the low degradation temperature makes PLA a proper candidate for the backbone in feedstocks for aluminium with a relatively low sintering temperature starting at about 550 °C. However, processing of PLA is challenging due to high shear and temperature sensitivity. Therefore, the printability at different nozzle temperatures (230, 250, 270 °C) was investigated for various formulations with PLA content ranging from 25 to 40 vol.% in the binder system. Solvent debinding for printed samples was conducted at room temperature and different immersion times. The results indicated the substantial impact of printing temperature on enhancing shape retention and preventing interlayer cracking during the solvent debinding process. The main binder was removed successfully without any defects during solvent debinding.
Effects of heat treatment on elastic constants of Cedar (Cedrus libani) wood
Authors: Güntekin Ergün
Published: October 2024

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of heat treatment on the elastic constants of Cedar (Cedrus liba-ni) wood. Heat under atmospheric pressure at three different temperatures (150, 180 and 210 °C) and three differ-ent time levels (2, 5 and 8 hours) was applied to Cedar wood specimens and its Modulus of elasticity (EL, ER, ET) shear modulus (GLR, GLT, GRT) and Poisson’s ratios (νLR, νLT, νRL, νRT, νTL, νTR) were evaluated by compression tests conducted on 20 x 20 x 60 mm samples using bi-axial extensometer. It was observed that the modulus of elastici-ty, shear modulus, and compression strength of the tested specimens were significantly affected by the temperature and time parameters of the heat treatment. Treatment of heat for low temperatures and short periods yielded some increase in modulus of elasticity but an increase in time and temperature resulted in a significant decrease. Heat treatment has a devastating influence on the shear modulus. Poisson’s ratios were less sensitive to the heat treat-ment. Heat treatment significantly alters the modulus of elasticity, shear modulus and compression strength of Cedar wood.
Unveiling Russian Language as a Propaganda Tool
Authors:   Baku State University, Aslanova Tahmina
Published: October 2024

The paper explores how the Russian language has been used as a propaganda tool by the Russian government since the Bolshevik takeover while shedding light on its status before the Russian Revolution. Through a critical analysis of numerous sources, including political speeches, media coverage, and cultural products, this paper examines how language has been used to shape public opinion and promote nationalistic ideals. The paper argues that the Russian language has been used as a powerful tool of propaganda in various ways, such as shaping national identity, creating a sense of pride in the country’s history and culture, and promoting a specific worldview. The paper also discusses the role of language in Russian propaganda efforts abroad, particularly in neighboring countries and regions by concentrating its focus on post-Soviet countries. Particular attention has been paid to the policy measures taken by the Communist governments of both Russia and Union Republics to propel the status of Russian as a lingua franca in the Soviet Union by presenting it as the language of education, culture, and high status. The paper concludes with a discussion of the potential consequences of the use of language as a propaganda tool, including the polarization of societies, the suppression of dissent, and the erosion of democratic values. It argues that a critical examination of the role of language in propaganda is essential for safeguarding the integrity of language and promoting open and democratic discourse.
Degradacja relacji rumuńsko-sowieckich na przełomie lat 50. i 60. Publikacja Zapisków o Rumunach Karola Marksa jako symboliczny kulminacyjny punkt w rumuńsko-sowieckim sporze
Authors:   Uniwersytet Warszawski, Kubiak Antoni Piotr
Published: October 2024

W niniejszym artykule autor przygląda się czynnikom, które wpłynęły na ochłodzenie się relacji rumuńsko-sowieckich w II połowie lat 50. oraz I połowie lat 60. Był to czas, kiedy na czele Rumunii stał Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej – oponent destalinizacji, która zapoczątkowana została w Związku Sowieckim przez Nikitę Chruszczowa. Rumuński przywódca w obawie o swoją dotychczasową pozycję w państwie oraz w kontrze do nowej sowieckiej polityki zaczął promować nacjonalistyczny dyskurs w rumuńskiej przestrzeni publicznej. Było to tym prostsze, że w 1958 roku Armia Czerwona wycofała się z Rumunii i Gheorghiu-Dej poczuł w związku z tym większą swobodę, jeśli chodzi o prowadzenie bardziej niezależnej od Kremla polityki. Rumuński przywódca uciekał się do antyrosyjskiej retoryki, która w oczach Rumunów zyskała uznanie. Radzieckie propozycje dotyczące przekształcenia Rady Wzajemnej Pomocy Gospodarczej (RWPG) w organizację, w ramach której Rumunia miałaby stać się rolniczym (a zatem pozbawionym własnego silnego przemysłu) zapleczem dla pozostałych państw członkowskich, jak również radzieckie wątpliwości odnośnie do kształtu granicy rumuńsko-węgierskiej sprowokowały Gheorghiu-Deja do podniesienia drażliwej z punktu widzenia Moskwy kwestii besarabskiej. W tym celu w 1964 roku w Bukareszcie zostały wydane pod kierunkiem historyka Andreia Oțetei Zapiski o Rumunach Karola Marksa, w których twórca komunizmu krytykował Rosję za aneksję Besarabii oraz jej imperialne zakusy. Od tego momentu relacje rumuńsko-sowieckie weszły na nowy etap, gdyż władze rumuńskie zaczęły podnosić drażliwe kwestie historyczne w sporach z Sowietami.

Representation of the History of the Hungarian Minority in Slovakia in Slovak Primary School History Textbooks In the past two decades, Gyula Popély, Attila Simon, László Szarka, Árpád Popély, Gergely Sallai, József Gyönyör and Katalin Vadkerty have written numerous summaries on the history of Hungarians in Slovakia, but what is less known is what children learn about this period sitting in the classroom. What can Hungarian students in Slovakia learn about their history from the textbooks, so that they can develop and shape their image of Hungarianness and form an emotional attachment to their nation, which could greatly contribute to halting the assimilation process that is affecting Hungarians in Slovakia. Of course, in addition to the school, the values conveyed by the family and home environment, society and culture are also decisive (e.g. commemorating the anniversary of the Treaty of Trianon or the day of remembrance of the Hungarians expelled from southern Slovakia). Since the school is the main source of such impact, we chose to study how our own history is reflected in history textbooks, and so we based our research on history textbooks for primary schools in Slovakia. Unfortunately, however, we do not know what other important events and additions, apart from the information in the textbooks, are mentioned in the lessons by the teachers who teach history. To explore this further, a comprehensive questionnaire survey of history teachers in primary schools in Slovakia would be needed, so in our study we have made observations and drawn conclusions only on the basis of the history textbooks analysed.

Borgesian Patterns in Lajos Grendel’s Novella Bőröndök tartalma [The Contents of Suitcases] This paper examines the content of Lajos Grendel's novella Bőröndök tartalma [The Contents of Suitcases], dedicated to Jorge Luis Borges and published in 1986. Its aim is to identify specific links between the Grendel novella and Borges' oeuvre. The study picks out Borges's short story The Book of Sand as a preface, and to prove the existing links between the two opuses, it first describes the chronological circumstances, then uses narratological and comparative methods to examine the text from the following aspects: standpoint, character traits, plot. The analysis also focuses on the differences between the two texts and on the characteristics of the infinite book, which becomes central to both ones. The paper also deals with the fantasy-based interpretation of magical realism and its manifestation in Grendel's oeuvre (essays Prikk és Pantheosz [Prikk and Pantheos]; Valóság, fantasztikum, mágia [Reality, Fantasy, Magic]).
Polyamory in Canada: Research on an Emerging Family Structure
Authors: Boyd John-Paul
Published: October 2024

The Canadian Research Institute for Law and the Family began a study of perceptions of polyamory in Canada in June 2016. The project is only midway through its course, but the data collected so far have important implications for law and policy in the coming decades, as the meaning of family continues to evolve. The term polyamory is a mash-up of the Greek word for much or many and the Latin word for love. As these roots suggest, people who are polyamorous are, or prefer to be, involved in more than one intimate relationship at a time. Some polyamorists are involved in stable, long-term, loving relationships involving two or more other people. Others are simultaneously engaged in a number of relationships of varying degrees of permanence and commitment. Still others are involved in a web of concurrent relationships ranging from short-term relationships that are purely sexual in nature to more enduring relationships characterized by deep emotional attachments. Polyamory The practice or condition of participating in more than one intimate relationship at a time. It is usually not related to religion and it is unrelated to marriage. Polygamy The practice or condition of having more than one spouse, typically a wife, at one time, usually for religious reasons.

Authors: Vieira Thiago Vinicius
Published: October 2024

Resumo: Este artigo analisa o acordo internacional de bitributação entre a Estônia e Portugal, focando na comparação de cenários de tributação para empresas de comércio e serviços digitais. O objetivo é compreender o significado e objetivos do acordo, comparar os cenários de tributação dentro do foco proposto, avaliar as implicações fiscais para residentes fiscais em Portugal com empresas em Estonia, identificar possíveis riscos e determinar o mais benéfico. O acordo busca evitar a dupla tributação, definindo regras para a tributação de imposto sobre o rendimento de empresas estonianas e sujeitos pasivos residentes em Portugal que não possuam um estabeelcimento estável. A análise envolve os impostos sobre o rendimento das pessoas singulares (IRS) e das pessoas coletivas (IRC) em Portugal, e o imposto sobre o rendimento (tulumaks) em Estônia. Conceitos como comercio e serviços digitais, residência fiscal, e-residência e estabelecimento estável são abordados para melhor compreensão do acordo. A maior clareza e segurança jurídica para empresas e sujeitos passivos, a potencial redução da carga fiscal são alguns dos benefícios esperados. É importante ressaltar que a análise das implicações fiscais do acordo deve ser feita de forma individualizada por cada empresa, considerando suas características e operações. Em suma, o acordo de bitributação Estônia-Portugal oferece muitos benefícios para residentes em Portugal que possuam empresas baseadas on-line em Estonia, desde que não estejam vinculadas a um local específico fisicamente.

Prevalence of atrial fibrillation in patients with ischemic stroke older than 55 years at the Alberto Antranik Eurnekian Hospital in Ezeiza, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Authors: Cosenza Florencia Belén , Grossmann Mauro Oscar
Published: October 2024

Background: A stroke is a neurological disorder that occurs when the blood supply to (part of) the brain is Interrupted. 87 % of the cases are caused by an Ischemia (Ischemic stroke). One of the principal causes is Atrial fibrillation (AF) being the most frequent sustained arrhythmia represented by 160 000 patients who develop it annually in the United States. AF generates a turbulent flow within the left atrial appendage, which causes the formation of intracavitary thrombus with the risk that they are expelled into the systemic circulation, possibly causing a stroke as a complication. The purpose of this research study is to establish the prevalence of AF in patients with ischemic stroke older than 55 years old in the clinic service of the Hospital Alberto Antranik Eurknekian from January through September 2022. Material and methods: This research study was conducted following a non- experimental, descriptive, quantitative, transversal and retrospective approach. Data were gathered upon the clinical records of patients older than 55 years old, who had an admission electrocardiogram (ECG) and had ischemic stroke evidenced in topographies of the brain in Hospital de Ezeiza. The following variables were analysed: age and sex, arterial hypertension, diabetes, obesity, dyslipidaemia, smoking, history of previous stroke or transient ischemic attack, as well as AF and AF under treatment. Results: The final sample of this study consisted of 49 patients, of whom 55, 1 % were male (N=27) and 44, 9 % female (N=22). 8, 2 % (N=4) of them had associated atrial fibrillation, among them, 75 % (N=3) were anticoagulated. 77,6 % (N=38) had hypertension, 40, 8 % (N=20) diabetes, 6, 1 % (N=3) used tobacco and 4,1 % (N=2) had obesity and dyslipidaemia. 16,3 % (N=8) suffered an ischemic stroke previously and 2 % (N=1) had a transient ischemic attack. Conclusion: It was found a high prevalence of AF in patients diagnosed with a stroke. Of these, 75 % were anticoagulated, but still developed the ischemic event. Regarding cardiovascular risk factors, the entire sample had a high prevalence of comorbidities, the most common being hypertension and diabetes
