Authors: Jamalludin Jerrize Izah , Abdul Aziz Sa’ardin , Sarip Shamsul
Published: October 2024

The implementation of overall quality management is being applied to every educational institution, including TVET MARA, to enhance the quality of educational services. In this situation, management tasks must be carried out in each educational establishment. Implementing TQM in TVET MARA to increase the overall quality of education and achieve a high level of academic achievement is the subject of this article. Every educational institution should strive to improve its quality and ability to compete with others. This is done for educational institutions to continue to earn the general public's trust and other stakeholders in their work. Therefore, it must be continuously improved, both physically and non-physically, to maintain this level of performance to create a high-quality educational institution with a high level of quality assurance. When implementing TQM in the field of education, there are several important factors to consider, including continuous quality improvement; determining quality standards; cultural change; changes in the organisation; and maintaining relationships with other agencies and customers, as well as evaluating the system if anything is not working as it should.

Published: October 2024

Existed research had investigate the impact of this new trend of selfie-editing on psychological well-being, but mainly focus on body image issue. However, there were limited study regarding the selfie-editing behaviour in the context of Malaysia, and regarding the relationship between selfie-editing behaviour, self-esteem, and social appearance anxiety. Therefore, this present study intend to widen the field of selfie- editing study by investigating the relationships between selfie-editing before online sharing, self-esteem, and social appearance anxiety in the context of Malaysia. Online survey methods was administered to a total of 253 university students. Three instruments, Photo Manipulation, Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES), Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS) were used to measure the variables in this study. Hypothesis were supported that greater frequency of selfie-editing before online sharing was significantly related to higher level of social appearance anxiety. Meanwhile, this study reported higher frequency of selfie-editing before online sharing was significantly associated to lower level of self-esteem. In addition, selfie-editing before online posting was found to be a significant influence on both self-esteem and social appearance anxiety. Possible explanation for these phenomenon were explored. Lastly, this study advices further research on examine the possible mediator of these relationship as the frequency of selfie-editing behaviour was not the major influence of both self-esteem and social appearance anxiety. And also developing guideline on using selfie-editing that can reduce the risk of adverse psychological well-being.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: The Myofibroblastic Sarcoma is a recently discovered malignant tumor that mainly affects the face and neck region, but it occurs most often in the tongue and oral cavity. However, involvement of the maxillary sinus has only been reported a few times in the literature. It is a slowly growing neoplasm with a high recurrence and metastasis risk.  Case Presentation: 18 years old female patient, admitted for a painless mass of the left hemi palate increasing progressively in volume evolving since 5 months, associated to a left nasal obstruction and purulent rhinorrhea. Once in our department, she underwent a facial CT scan, followed by a facial MRI, which showed a tissue process centered primarily on the left maxillary sinus, causing lysis of the inferior wall and bulging of the hard palate on the left side . The surgical decision involved combining an endoscopic and external approach, and was supplemented by radiation therapy. The follow up demonstrated a successful outcome. the patient did not present any recurrence or distant metastasis.  Conclusion: The key lessons are the essential role of imaging in diagnosing and treating LGMS , as well as the crucial role of postoperative radiotherapy in preventing recurrence even though this subject is still controversial.
A Comprehensive Review about Risks of Type-II Diabetes on Ocular Tear Film
Authors: Bhatt Rishita , Kumar Niranjan
Published: October 2024

Millions of people worldwide suffer from diabetes mellitus (DM), which can lead to systemic issues in a number of organs. Ocular problems, such as dry eye syndrome (DES), are among its less well-known side effects. This review delves into the interactions between diabetes and the composition of tear films, emphasizing alterations in the mucin, aqueous and lipid layer. Dry eye symptoms are exacerbated by induced changes in the components of the tear film in diabetes DM, which lead in decrement in tear production, increment in tear evaporation and tear film instability. Lipid layer is a lubricant, that reduces friction between the ocular surface and the eyelids which promotes high-quality, smooth refractive surface. The lacrimal function unit shields the tear film, preserves the normal function of the ocular surface. The mucin layer is secreted by the conjunctival goblet cells, in hyperglycemia the functionality of the cells are reduced thus, the mucin secretion is also altered which causes instability of the tear film. Diabetic patients can have their tear film integrity assessed with the help of diagnostic methods like Schirmer's Test and Tear Break- Up Time (TBUT). In order to relieve symptoms and maintain ocular health, there should be a complete management of diabetes and the induced tear film disorders.
Role of Cortisol in Cognitive Impairment (Alzheimer’s Disease)
Authors: Shabbir Jhandawala Ruqaiyya
Published: October 2024

As people grow older, their chances of facing cognitive impairment tend to rise, and this probability fluctuates in relation to their age. Research has pointed out that 21.04% of individuals between 60 to 69 years old encounter cognitive issues, a percentage that escalates to 23.91% for those aged 70 to 79, and peaks at 32.65% in the elderly population over eighty. This condition primarily stems from factors like high stress levels and hypertension, conditions often associated with the hormone 'cortisol.' Prevent cognitive decline, individuals can take initiative-taking steps such as supporting a balanced diet, emphasizing physical well-being, controlling blood pressure, and incorporating other beneficial practices that collectively reduce the risk. Despite the straightforward prevention methods, the complexities of contemporary lifestyles often lead people to overlook these crucial aspects. In this study, our focus aims to delve into the impact of the 'cortisol' hormone on mental health conditions (AD), how it functions and is secreted within the body, and suggest strategies to prevent such challenges in a rapidly evolving societal landscape.

IMPACT OF SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS ON ENERGY SECURITY IN ZAMBIA: CHALLENGES AND MITIGATION STRATEGIES
Authors: Kabwe Fredrick , Sharon Nakuti , Srinivas Dr. Krovvidi
Published: October 2024

This study examines the impact of supply chain interruptions on Zambia's energy security, highlighting the nation's significant reliance on hydroelectric power, which generates about 83% of its total electricity production (Jürisoo et al., 2019). According to the study, Zambia's energy sector is significantly impacted by global supply chain risks, such as geopolitical conflicts and environmental issues (Mwanza et al., 2023). The analysis explores how these problems exacerbate problems related to energy security, particularly during load-shedding incidents (Jürisoo et al., 2019; Alzoubi, 2024). Furthermore, the study looks at the obstacles to establishing circular supply chains in Zambia's energy sector and emphasizes how cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain might improve supply chain resilience (Mwanza et al., 2023; Alzoubi, 2024). The conclusions stress how urgently legislative changes and focused investments are needed to support Zambia's energy infrastructure and keep it safe from future shocks.

⊙) and red colors (NUV − r ≳ 3), as well as low star formation rate and high central density at fixed mass. They span wide ranges in other properties including structural parameters that are similar to the parent sample, indicating that the conditions responsible for quenching in gas-rich regions are largely independent of the global properties of galaxies. We train random forest classifiers and regressors for predicting quenching in our sample with 15 local/global properties. Σ* is the most important property for quenching, especially for GRQRs. These results strongly indicate the important roles of low-mass hot evolved stars, which are numerous and long-lived in quenched regions and can provide substantial radiation pressure to support the surrounding gas against gravitational collapse. The different feature importance for quenching, as found previously by A. F. L. Bluck et al., is partly due to the different definitions of quenched regions, particularly the different requirements on EW(Hα).
Dust in Little Red Dots

Published: October 2024

JWST has revealed a ubiquitous population of “little red dots” (LRDs) at z ≳ 4, selected via their red rest-frame optical emission and compact morphologies. They are thought to be reddened by dust, whether in tori of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) or the interstellar medium, though none have direct dust detections to date. Informed by the average characteristics of 675 LRDs drawn from the literature, we provide ballpark constraints on the dust characteristics of the LRD population and estimate they have average dust masses of

eff ∼ 100 pc are the dominant factor contributing to their low estimated dust masses. Our predictions likely mean LRDs have, on average, a submillimeter emission factor of ∼100× fainter than current Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array limits provide. The star-to-dust ratio is a factor ∼100× larger than expected from dust formation models if one assumes the rest-optical light is dominated by stars; this suggests stars do not dominate. Despite their high apparent volume density, LRDs contribute negligibly (0.1%) to the cosmic dust budget at z ≳ 4 due to their low dust masses.

Published: October 2024

We analyze JWST Mid-Infrared Instrument/Medium Resolution Spectrograph integral field unit observations of three Seyferts from the Galactic Activity, Torus, and Outflow Survey (GATOS) and showcase the intriguing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and emission-line characteristics in regions of ∼500 pc scales over or around their active galactic nuclei (AGN). Combing the measurements and model predictions, we find that the central regions containing a high fraction of neutral PAHs with small sizes, e.g., those in ESO137-G034, are in highly heated environments, due to collisional shock heating, with hard and moderately intense radiation fields. Such environments are proposed to result in inhibited growth or preferential erosion of PAHs, decreasing their average size and overall abundance. We additionally find that the central regions containing a high fraction of ionized PAHs with large sizes, e.g., those in MCG-05-23-016, are likely experiencing severe photoionization because of the radiative effects from the radiative shock precursor besides the AGN. The severe photoionization can contribute to the ionization and further destruction of PAHs. Overall, different Seyferts, even different regions in the same galaxy, e.g., those in NGC 3081, can contain PAH populations of different properties. Specifically, Seyferts that exhibit similar PAH characteristics to ESO137-G034 and MCG-05-23-016 also tend to have similar emission-line properties to them, suggesting that the explanations for PAH characteristics of ESO137-G034 and MCG-05-23-016 may also apply generally. These results have promising application in the era of JWST, especially in diagnosing different (i.e., radiative and kinetic) AGN feedback modes.

Published: October 2024

Galaxy emission-line fluxes can constrain star formation rates (SFRs) and interstellar medium (ISM) ionization. We investigate rest-frame optical emission lines of 71 star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at redshift 0.7 < z < 7 using JWST/NIRSpec measurements from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science survey. We use Hα to measure SFR and utilize Hubble Space Telescope CANDELS stellar mass estimates to determine specific SFR (sSFR) and compare with the SFG main sequence (MS). We create [O iii]λ5008/Hβ versus [Ne iii]λ3870/[O ii]λ3728 line ratio diagrams. The line ratios appear to correlate with sSFR, and our results suggest that sSFR is the parameter that governs ionization conditions rather than SFR or a galaxy’s distance from the MS. These measurements reveal a rich diversity of ISM conditions and physical galaxy properties throughout cosmic time.
Steps to understanding diabetes kidney disease: a focus on metabolomics
Authors: Kim Hyo Jin , Song Sang Heon
Published: October 2024

Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), poses global health challenges given its increasing prevalence. DN increases the risk of mortality and cardiovascular events. Early identification and appropriate DN management are crucial. However, current diagnostic methods rely on general traditional markers, highlighting the need for DN-specific diagnostics. Metabolomics, the study of small molecules produced by metabolic activity, promises to identify specific biomarkers that distinguish DN from other kidney diseases, decode the underlying disease mechanisms, and predict the disease course. Profound changes in metabolic pathways are apparent in individuals with DN, alterations in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and amino acid and lipid metabolism, suggestive of mitochondrial dysfunction. Metabolomics aids prediction of chronic kidney disease progression; several metabolites serve as indicators of renal functional decline and the risk of ESKD. Integration of such information with other omics data will further enhance our understanding of DN, paving the way to personalized treatment. In summary, metabolomics and multi-omics offer valuable insights into DN and are promising diagnostic and prognostic tools.
Age-Related Association Between Unilateral Single-Channel and Double-Channel Surgery and Postoperative Multifidus Muscle Atrophy and Fat Infiltration
Authors: Li Guang Hua , Ito Zenya , Shibayama Motohide , Nakamura Shu , Zhu LiGuo , Ito Fujio
Published: October 2024

Background

Unilateral biportal endoscopic laminotomy (UBE) and percutaneous endoscopic laminotomy (PEL) are minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS) techniques used for unilateral and dual-channel endoscopic laminectomy. However, limited research has been conducted on lumbosacral multifidus muscle injuries in elderly individuals undergoing MISS for lumbar spinal canal stenosis. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of single-channel and double-channel MISS on the multifidus muscle in elderly patients.

Materials and Methods

A total of 107 patients who underwent MISS were stratified into two cohorts: group A (<65 years) and group B (≥65 years). Preoperative imaging data, including magnetic resonance imaging, were gathered to classify the degree of stenosis based on the nerve root compression. The extent of multifidus muscle atrophy and fat infiltration was assessed by calculating the fat-free cross-sectional area (FCSA)/cross-sectional area (CSA) ratio before and after surgery through measurements of CSA and FCSA. Total cross-sectional area/FCSA were calculated using MRI cross-sectional T2WI.

Results

The degree of atrophy and fat infiltration did not change between procedures in group A (
P
>.05), but changed significantly in group B (
P
<.05).

Conclusion

Unilateral single-channel and double-channel surgery had no significant effect on the degree of multifidus muscle atrophy and fat infiltration in patients younger than 65 years. However, in patients 65 years and older, the degree of multifidus muscle atrophy and fat infiltration significantly increased with the increasing incidence of lateral recess stenosis, which was positively correlated with the duration of surgery.

Rough topological structures by various types of maximal neighborhoods
Authors: Hosny Mona
Published: October 2024

This manuscript centers on creating various topologies utilizing different sorts of maximal neighborhoods. The comparison of these topologies with the previous ones reveal that the earlier topology is weaker than the current ones. The core properties of the proposed topologies are examined, and the necessary conditions for achieving certain equivalences among them are outlined. Additionally, this study provides a distinctive characterization of these topologies by pinpointing the coarsest and largest one among all types, whereas previous methods were limited to characterizing only disjoint pairs of sets. Thereafter, these topologies are utilized to evolve new approximations. One of the major benefits of the current extension is that it adheres to all the properties of the original approximations without the constraints or limitations imposed by earlier versions. The significance of this paper lies not only in introducing new types of approximations based primarily on different kinds of topologies, but also in the fact that these approximations maintain the monotonic property for any given relation, enabling effective evaluation of uncertainty in the data. The monotonic property is crucial for various applications, as it guarantees that the approximation process is logically coherent and robust in the face of evolving information. The proposed models distinguish from their predecessors by their ability to compare all types of the suggested approximations. Moreover, comparisons reveal that the optimal approximations and accuracy are achieved with a specific type of generating topologies. The results demonstrate that topological notions can be a potent technique for studying rough set models. Furthermore, advanced topological features of approximate sets aid in finding rough measures, which assists in identifying missing feature values. Afterward, a numerical example is presented to highlight and emphasize the importance of the present results. Ultimately, the benefits of the followed manner are scrutinized and also some of their limitations are pointed out.

Authors: Qi Wei
Published: October 2024

This article extended the properties of the idempotent generator of cyclic codes to polycyclic codes over the finite field $ \mathbb{F}_q $. In addition, the check matrix of polycyclic codes was provided over $ \mathbb{F}_q $. Specifically, it has been proven that the constacyclic code is an $ {{{\rm{MDS}}}} $ code over $ \mathbb{F}_q $ if and only if its annihilator dual code is also an $ {{{\rm{MDS}}}} $ code. Finally, we have provided some examples of good codes.
Fuzzy tracking control of singular multi-agent systems under switching topology
Authors: Li Jiawen , Zhang Yi , Lee Heung-wing Joseph , Wang Yingying
Published: October 2024

The consensus tracking problem of leader-follower multi-agent systems (MASs) with singular structures on jointly connected topology is studied in this paper. To achieve the objective of consensus tracking, a distributed adaptive control protocol is formulated to adjust the coupling weights among the agents using the adaptive rate, where the adaptive protocol can be implemented by each agent in a fully distributed manner without using any global information. A fuzzy logic system method is used to deal with the nonlinear terms in response to the limitations of nonlinear system analysis. The consensus tracking problem is transformed into an error system stability analysis, and two sufficient conditions are provided to guarantee the control objective based on Lyapunov stability theory and singular system theory. Finally, the effectiveness of this method is verified through a simulation example.
«Pensando las gentes que era cristiano y ha salido diablo» Protesta y sátira contra Pedro de La Gasca en el Perú colonial a través de Alonso de Medina (1549)
Authors: Perez Miguel Liliana
Published: October 2024

La actuación de Pedro de La Gasca tras su victoria contra Gonzalo Pizarro provocó el enfado de varios habitantes del virreinato peruano que criticaron un injusto reparto de mercedes, que olvidaba a muchos leales y premiaba a un gran número conquistadores que habían apoyado al bando pizarrista. El presente artículo pone el foco en los escritos de Alonso de Medina dirigidos a La Gasca para denunciar este y otros hechos. La obra de Medina es de gran interés por varios motivos. No solo por la información sin censura que provee acerca de estos acontecimientos y sus protagonistas, sino que, además, constituiría una de las primeras manifestaciones documentadas de literatura satírica sociopolítica colonial peruana.
Los méritos de doña Marina, la «más principal conquistadora». Recuperación y revisión de fuentes
Authors: Molina Villeta Javier
Published: October 2024

El presente artículo revisa la figura de doña Marina (o Malintzin) en base a fuentes documentales poco exploradas. Como veremos, parte de la historiografía americanista reivindica su cosmovisión indígena pasando por alto las crónicas y los testimonios que subrayan su fidelidad a los castellanos y describen su activa participación junto a Hernán Cortés en episodios como la matanza de Cholula. Como mostraremos, sus descendientes dejaron textos muy significativos que celebran a doña Marina y la retratan repetidas veces como una conquistadora fiel a la Monarquía Hispánica. Reproduciremos fragmentos de dichas fuentes documentales, esenciales para entender la mentalidad del personaje.
Deserción de las élites y fiscalidad rebelde: la historia subterránea de la Revolución cubana
Authors: López Acón Óscar
Published: October 2024

Con el triunfo de la Revolución cubana se produjo también el encumbramiento de sus mitos. La virtualidad de la narrativa épica y su poder explicativo lograron traspasar las fronteras del Caribe, proyectándose igualmente por distintas historiografías. Este artículo, gracias a fuentes documentales poco consultadas procedentes de archivos e instituciones cubanas, pretende arrojar luz sobre, al menos, dos aspectos que han sido insuficientemente explorados. De un lado, reexaminamos la estrategia político-militar insurgente y sostenemos la tesis de que la infraestructura de la guerrilla fidelista fue mucho más sólida de lo que tradicionalmente se ha planteado. Por otro lado, atestiguamos como las élites económicas cubanas pasaron de apoyar al régimen de Batista a pagar impuestos revolucionarios, contribuyendo así a su desmoronamiento.

Published: October 2024

Drepananthus khaosoi sp. nov., a new species from southern Thailand is described and illustrated. It is morphologically most similar to D. ridleyi, especially in the very narrow and elongated petals, but differs in leaf blade size, leaf base, monocarp shape and appearance, monocarp width, length of monocarp stipe, pericarp thickness and seed arrangement. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using chloroplast DNA regions (matK and rbcL exons; trnL intron; atpB-rbcL, psbA-trnH and trnL-trnF intergenic spacers) and including 18 Drepananthus species confirm the monophyly of Drepananthus, but the relationships within the genus are largely unresolved, including a failure to elucidate a sister group of D. khaosoi. The conservation status of the new species is provisionally assessed as Critically Endangered.

Published: October 2024

Le chapitre explique les conditions de la montée en puissance des gouvernements municipaux dans la dernière décennie à partir de mouvements de protestation liés aux politiques d’austérité issues de la crise de 2008. Il détaille les cadres idéologiques pluriels et montre comment les victoires électorales ont été construites à partir de promesses centrées sur la rénovation des formes et contenus de la démocratie locale. Il présente ensuite quelques grands chantiers d’action publique en se centrant sur leur échelle (le quartier), leur pilotage (des plateformes portées par le monde associatif et soutenues par l’administration municipale), leurs grands champs d’action (logement inclusif, mobilité durable, contrôle des modalités de développement du tourisme urbain). Tout en soulignant la diversité des contextes locaux et la fragilité des coalitions de pouvoir et des résultats obtenus, le chapitre dégage en particulier l’originalité de l’épisode municipaliste espagnol dans la circulation internationale des modèles de renouvellement des politiques publiques locales.
Logement et crise en Europe du Sud : une marchandisation méditerranéenne ?
Authors: Delon Margot , Maloutas Thomas , Semi Giovanni , Buil Diego Miralles , Tonetta Marta
Published: October 2024

Alors qu’on aurait pu penser que l’éclatement de la bulle spéculative sur les marchés de l’immobilier en 2008 mettrait un frein aux dynamiques de financiarisation, le logement est toujours, près de quinze ans plus tard, une marchandise des plus convoitées. Ce chapitre décrit la façon dont la marchandisation du logement a opéré au fil de la période en Europe du Sud. Après une brève période de baisse des prix de l’immobilier, la recomposition des logiques d’investissement conduit à une accélération de la touristification dans de nombreuses métropoles comme Lisbonne, Barcelone ou Athènes. L’intensité particulièrement forte du phénomène, en particulier en ce qui concerne les locations de court terme, est analysée en relation avec la combinaison entre sociétés, États et marchés, incluant la forte prégnance de la propriété pour s’assurer face aux crises et l’importance des politiques néolibérales de l’emploi et de la ville.
Democritus ridens: una representación del desengaño en la Temprana Edad Moderna
Authors: Orobitg Christine
Published: October 2024

La presente contribución propone analizar los usos de la figura de Demócrito en la época moderna, en las fuentes textuales (literarias o doctrinales) e iconográficas. El análisis examinará los orígenes y el significado de esta representación, así como la naturaleza de la risa de Demócrito, que aparece claramente como una risa desengañada y melancólica, nacida de la consideración de la vanidad del mundo. A partir de ahí, Heráclito y Demócrito aparecen como el anverso y el reverso de una misma conciencia desengañada de la vanidad del mundo. Dado que la figura de Demócrito en la literatura española e italiana ha sido objeto de diversos estudios, nos proponemos aquí centrarnos en el entramado que relaciona a Demócrito con la melancolía, con el fin de mostrar el carácter eminentemente melancólico (y, por tanto, desengañado) de la risa democriteana.
Desengaños poéticos cervantinos: una aproximación en tres tiempos

El término «desengaño» permite volver sobre un aspecto de la creación literaria cervantina en la que se descubre a un escritor que sigue el camino y aprovecha los recursos que la tradición pone a su alcance; ofrece también la posibilidad de reflexionar sobre un tópico que ha configurado el devenir del cervantismo en relación con la posible evolución ideológica de su autor y, finalmente, proponer algunas consideraciones sobre la trayectoria literaria de Cervantes, bien entendible desde su tiempo, no tanto desde el siglo XXI.
Avisos y desengaños de la muerte en la predicación española áurea
Authors: Voinier Sarah
Published: October 2024

El tema del desengaño viene a ser recurrente en la retórica sagrada hasta formar un lugar común tanto en los sermones como en los discursos morales de los predicadores de la España del Setecientos. Basándonos en las oraciones fúnebres del padre jesuita Manuel de Nájera y en varios ejemplos sacados de tratados doctrinales, nuestro estudio reflexionará acerca de algunas de las estrategias discursivas que adoptaron los oradores a la hora de desengañar a los fieles mediante la revelación de las verdades cristianas.
El desengaño como diagnóstico de un fracaso político-militar: Desengaño y reparo de la guerra del reino de Chile de Alonso González de Nájera
Authors: Blanco Mercedes
Published: October 2024

Desengaño y reparo de la guerra del reino de Chile, obra de un veterano nativo de Cuenca, que ascendió a maestre de campo gracias a sus méritos militares, es un memorial o arbitrio que propone al rey Felipe III, por mediación del conde de Lemos, una estrategia para ganar la guerra de Chile. Al mismo tiempo, es una obra literaria destinada a comunicar a un público amplio todo lo que ofrece esa guerra de maravilloso y patético. Contrariamente a lo que se ha dicho, no es por ello obra híbrida de género indefinible, sino una pieza de elocuencia persuasiva, construida con cuidado y escrita con elegancia. Sus fragmentos narrativos funcionan al modo de las narrationes que son parte, según los rétores, del discurso argumentativo, al tiempo que cobran un tinte épico. Al invocar el desengaño, González de Nájera se refiere, como los moralistas de signo estoico, a la conveniencia de destruir una ilusión. Sin embargo, para él, y en esto consiste la diametral diferencia, liberarse de esta ilusión no consiste en desprenderse de los falsos bienes de este mundo, sino en abandonar una estrategia equivocada para alcanzar un fin puramente mundano: el dominio de Chile por los españoles.

Engaños y desengaños en el Marcos de Obregón (1618) de Vicente Espinel
Authors: Palomino Tizado Natalia
Published: October 2024

El desengaño, como tema capital del Barroco hispánico, está presente en todos los géneros literarios que proliferan en la época, pero muy especialmente en el picaresco, donde se erige como piedra angular de la trabazón narrativa. En este trabajo nos ocupamos de las Relaciones de la vida del escudero Marcos de Obregón (1618), de Vicente Espinel, y analizamos el uso que hizo el escritor rondeño de los mecanismos basados en el engaño –y su consecuente desengaño– para construir, desde los cimientos y hasta la configuración total, la que sería su única obra en prosa.
Distintos y dependientes. La manufactura malagueña del siglo xvii y la lógica de la desigualdad limitada a través del artesanado platero
Authors: Hidalgo Fernández Francisco
Published: October 2024

Dentro del sistema gremial, la desigualdad limitada se conforma como una de las bases fundamentales de las lógicas del comportamiento artesano. No obstante, las investigaciones han ido poniendo de relieve que la brecha fue ampliándose, sobre todo en el siglo XVIII. En este artículo, los artesanos plateros del XVII nos sirven de muestra para estudiar que en fechas previas la desarticulación de esta lógica fue una realidad. Así, entre los objetivos manejados está la reconstrucción del contexto económico malagueño, en tanto que espacio relacional, y el análisis de los lazos sociales entre los orfebres, poniendo el foco en los elementos que originaron la desigualdad.
L’emploi rythmique des connecteurs
Authors: Cagnan Edoardo
Published: October 2024

D’après la théorie senghorienne des langues et littératures « négro-africaines », qui découle de la célèbre opposition entre l’« émotion nègre » et la « raison hellène », la production poétique des auteurs noirs se caractériserait par l’asyndète. Toutefois, dans ses propres poèmes, Senghor emploie souvent des articulateurs du discours fortement argumentatifs tels que car et or. Cet emploi semble aller à l’encontre de la théorisation, mais, en analysant de plus près les occurrences, on constate que ces mots sont vidés de leur fonction syntaxique, s’apparentent plutôt à des interjections et participent d’une recherche rythmique et sémantique. L’examen des manuscrits nous permet de percevoir ce travail de resémantisation de ce que Senghor appelait les « mots-ciment ».
Glissant/Senghor : « Consentir à l’autre »
Authors: Bourjea Serge
Published: October 2024

A partir de deux documents inédits du Fonds Édouard Glissant de la BnF (projet de critique du Deuxième Congrès des Écrivains et artistes noirs, Rome 1959 ; et projet de compte rendu de l’ouvrage de L.S. Senghor, Liberté I, Seuil, 1964) l’article montre la « Relation » souterraine qu’aura entretenu la pensée d’Édouard Glissant avec l’idéologie senghorienne de « la voie africaine » de l’Universel. Entre les deux poètes, de générations et d’origines fondamentalement différentes, entre deux œuvres que tout oppose dans la forme aussi bien que dans l’intention, n’existe aucun dialogue véritable, ni même de rapport dialectique (historique). Pourtant, au terme de la vie de Senghor « l’Africain », lors de la publication par l’UNESCO en 1997 du collectif Présence Senghor – 90 écrits en hommage aux 90 ans du poète-président, c’est bien un hommage effectif que lui rend Glissant « l’Antillais ». Le texte manifeste qu’une « Relation » (au sens où Glissant entend ce terme) s’est établie et continue de s’exercer entre deux poétiques – dans la reconnaissance et le respect de leurs différences comme de leurs oppositions – qui permet aujourd’hui de penser autrement les questions de « Négritude », de « Diaspora » ou de « Civilisation de l’Universel ».
Un logothète de Podolie à la cour voïévodale moldave dans la première moitié du xve siècle
Authors: Mirea Andrei
Published: October 2024

L’auteur tente de retracer la biographie du logothète Dienis, qui remplit cette dignité à la cour moldave du voïévode Iliaș entre 1435 et 1443. La récente parution d’un dictionnaire de toponymes médiévaux de la Podolie, à Kiïv en 2021, a permis à l’auteur d’identifier le village de Chropotowa, mentionné dans un acte d’hommage de 1436 que les historiens roumains n’avaient pu localiser auparavant. Ce village ruthène auquel le logothète Dienis s’identifie est situé en Podolie, à environ quarante kilomètres de la foire de Kamianets-Podilskyï. En plus de l’identification du village, l’auteur apporte d’autres arguments venant étayer l’hypothèse que le logothète Dienis était originaire de Podolie. Parmi ces arguments figurent son nom, certaines particularités de sa carrière à la chancellerie moldave, l’absence de descendance documentée en Moldavie, ainsi que sa proximité avec le milieu ruthène. Cette étude de cas semble corroborer une théorie de l’historiographie roumaine, fondée jusqu’à présent sur des arguments linguistiques et diplomatiques qui met en lumière l’empreinte de la culture ruthène sur les débuts de la chancellerie slave de Moldavie. En dernier lieu, la biographie de Dienis offre à l’auteur l’occasion de mettre en lumière le caractère bilingue de la vie de cour moldave des xive-xve siècles, où les interactions sociales se déroulaient tout aussi bien en roumain qu’en slave.
L’amour chez Čexov et Maupassant : éléments d’intertextualité (sur l’exemple de la Mouette)
Authors: Kibal′nik Sergej
Published: October 2024

Čexov n’a pas été appelé le « Maupassant russe » par hasard. Mais si ses œuvres laissent bien entr’apercevoir des références nombreuses à l’écrivain français, Čexov laisse aussi entendre « qu’il n’est pas Maupassant ». Ainsi dépeint-il l’amour d’une manière légèrement différente, en particulier dans la Mouette, confrontée dans cet article aux romans de Maupassant, Plus fort que la mort et Notre cœur. Par exemple, les pensées de Treplev qui précèdent son suicide et qui restent à l’état de sous-texte pourraient avoir été écrites par Maupassant (Notre cœur). De la même façon, le triangle Arkadina-Trigorin-Nina pourrait trouver sa source dans Plus fort que la mort. Dans le même temps, l’interprétation par Čexov du thème de la passion dévorante dans la Mouette est polémique par rapport à Maupassant. Partageant son idée de l’amour comme force terrible, voire destructrice, Čexov la croise avec l’idée de Tolstoj et de Dostoevskij sur la responsabilité mutuelle des individus les uns envers les autres. Le dramaturge russe laisse ainsi entendre que si le manque de réciprocité est parfois inévitable en amour, la surdité et l’insensibilité des uns envers les autres sont en revanche inexcusables.
«Поэт – Отзыв – Услышанность»
Authors: Cymborska-Leboda Maria
Published: October 2024

The present paper examines Vyacheslav Ivanov’s interpretation of a fragment from a poem by Pushkin where the writer reflects about the poet status, as well as Ivanov’s own reflections from 1924, in order to explore the “poet – listener/receiver” relation. I focus on questions such as the “resonance”, the circulation of ideas, and the “audibility” of the values transmitted by the poet. I begin with discussing Ivanov and Gershenson’ Correspondence Across a Room. Here, my primary objective is to show the circulation of the topoi of Ivanov’s axiological thinking, their use in his works written in emigration and their reception in European intellectual milieu (notably by Alessandro Pellegrini). I particularly focus on the category of Truth and the concept of “schism from Truth”, notably on its historiosophical and metaphysical dimensions as exposed in Ivanov’s hermeneutics. The article sheds light on Ivanov’s methodological instruments (including the function of the Oedipus myth) and the essence of his concept of the poet, with his task of “leaving an unchangeable message to the world”.

“The study, titled 'The Impact of Product Display on Consumer Attention and Buying Intention,' critically examines the complex relationship that exists between consumers and product displays in the dynamic retail environment.” The study investigates how product arrangement, presentation, and visual appeal work as influencing variables in consumer decision-making, with a focus on the issues given by an excess of alternatives. Based on a thorough evaluation of the literature, the study develops a conceptual framework that includes independent variables related to display characteristics, a mediator variable (customer attention), and moderating factors related to consumer and retail environment characteristics. The impact of display location, size, colour, movement, and lighting on consumer attention and purchasing intention is investigated using hypotheses and objectives. The study takes a mixed-methods approach, gathering primary data from 70 people in the NCR Delhi region using interviews and questionnaires and leveraging secondary data from diverse sources. Descriptive statistics offer subtle insights into age-related trends, illustrating the varied impact of appealing displays on various age groups. Chi-Square Tests are used to investigate correlations between categorical variables, providing useful insights into the relationship between education level and shopping patterns. The results have significant impacts for organizations searching for to improve their marketing strategies by optimising product displays, emphasising the need of context-aware interpretation, and recognising the changing landscape of customer behaviour in the retail sector. Finally, this study serves as a thorough guide, unravelling the subtle dynamics that impact consumer decisions in reaction to product displays and laying the groundwork for future research in this expanding topic.”

The status of packaging makes marketing thinkers consider it to closed element for the marketing complex and positive process on which the product depends. Therefore, this study examines the packaging concept and its impact on consumers buying decisions. This study is based on primary data collection through a designed questionnaire and distributed to 750 consumers in the Shekhawati area. The results confirm that consumers are attracted to the product packaging in all aspects (design, color, size, shape). It endorses adopting a packaging policy in industrial organizations facing high-tech expansions and rapidly changing consumer palates. It is necessary to consider modern marketing directions in product packaging, including green marketing, which depends on the use of materials that have less environmental impact in the packaging process.
