Towards a Universal Language of Theatre
Authors: Cozma Diana
Published: November 2021

The ways of approaching, treating and interpreting the theatre underwent major changes in the second half of the twentieth century. As Peter Brook’s research contributes decisively to changing the perspective of understanding the nature and the meanings of theatre, the present paper aims to highlight and briefly analyze the most relevant stages of his research. His studies focused on identifying auniversal language of theatrereveal key concepts and notions such asthe empty space, the visible and the invisible, the holy and the rough in the immediate, the diversity, the homogeneous group, the storyteller with many headsin which still nowadays theatre scholars and practitioners are interested. At the same time, certain results of his research are exploited in his performances in which the emphasis is placed on the scenic presence of the actor, and which denote both a continuous experimentation of scenic forms and a personal way of speaking abouttruthin the theatre.
THE NEUTRALITY or the silence before the action
Authors: Curuţiu-Zoicaş Camelia Corina
Published: November 2021

The actor’s imagination is formed and translated into images. The actor shows and embodies the dramatic character on stage with his body, voice and gestures. The actor’s body goes through a semiotic transformation during the show, it becomes the main vehicle of expression, the main channel of transmiting information, an extremely important function in theatrical artistic creation. The actor’s voice is in accordance to his body and psyche, and through its expressive qualities it becomes an essential component of theatrical language and stage communication. Our every day body is also a permanent transmitter of coded messages, voluntary or involuntary, of packets of information about the subject’s previous experiences, memories, sensations, perceptions, knowledge, attitudes, conceptions, relationships, social constraints etc. The human voice also becomes a sign for the social relationships, for the personal identity, the mood or the motivation of the speaker. Due to the state of neutrality, the actor will discover how an image, real or fictional, can transform his psychophysics, he will discover the psychophysical existence of each character with its external and internal world. The actor must put aside his self-image, learn to allow the presence of the mask / role take control of him, to breathe, to speak and to live with his own voice, face, body and mind. When the face is covered and there is silence, the actor has to communicate through his body and movements, when the movement is simple and economical, the mask /the role begins to live.
The trilogy of `love` beyond beauty, truth and drama
Authors: Lupan Raluca
Published: November 2021

The initial starting point in directing and choreographic process in developing the `Love`trilogy: the core and heart of the idea behind creating a performative trilogy concerning the theme of love has been the reflecting studies of the performers involved in the creational process. These spectacular and performative sequences begin with `Savage/Love`- the first part of the trilogy desgined in 2019. Starting from the desire in exploring the unfamiliar professional aspects of dance-theater and contemporary dance techniques, the personal experiences of the performers become the leading sources of inspiration in the directing and choreographic process. The middle part of the trilogy will be shaped as a performative show entitled `August Rush`. The last and third part will organically become a performative solo- `In/UnLoved bodies`.
The beauty of choreographic genius – Oleg Danovski, proponent of the national ballet repertoire
Authors: Răvdan Geta-Violeta
Published: November 2021

A prominent figure in national ballet, Oleg Danovski is one of the personalities of 20th century ballet. He gave the world a vast repertoire consisting of classical, neoclassical, modern ballets, Romanian ballets, and divertimentos for operas. Despite his success with classical ballet staging that would make him famous abroad, the choreographer also turned his attention to folklore, by addressing specific local themes. Thus, through this desire to study and stylize the folk dance, he brought an important contribution to the Romanian cultivated dance, from which the image of the Romanian character dance would stem. He was devoted to the idea of Romanian ballet theater and he advocated for original music for ballet, a national repertoire and the development of the Romanian ballet school. His Romanian creations are precious pages of the history of Romanian ballet that should not be forgotten, and that have enormously contributed to the enrichment of the original choreographic repertoire.
In theatre there is no “I cannot”, there is only self-limitation! - Alexander Hausvater Portrait
Authors: Cornici Antonella
Published: November 2021

Risk stands at the beginning of creation – this is the first thing you learn by working with Hausvater, immediately followed by another one of his sayings: In theatre there is no I cannot, there is only self-limitation! Maybe exactly between these two „rules” the world named Alexander Hausvater flourishes, and these „rules” have enough strength and generosity to „contaminate” ourselves, the ones who stand beside him. The art that is proposed by the director Alexander Hausvater is of maximum emotional intensity, very bold and his stagings highlight what is happening here and now, in us, in the society, no matter if we reffer to either staging The Decameron or a contemporary script. His theatre performances are sharp, necessary, and especially, fulfill the meaning of theatre, in the way Hausvater sees it - to remove people out of their inertia and to transform them in “ a being that articulates” and that carries within itself the beauty and the decay of the whole world.
Female Presences in The Cultural Press of The 19th Century
Authors: Bartoş-Agavriloaie Oana-Nicoleta
Published: November 2021

The nineteenth century was a time of beginnings for the cultural press, marked by the actions of personalities who actively participated in the development of this field, but often the involvement of women is less valued, compared to that of men. Therefore, we consider opportune a study focused on the cultural-journalistic activity of three remarkable ladies: Maria Rosetti, Sofia Nădejde, Cornelia Morţun, who had an important contribution, not only in terms of the topics they covered, but also through their point of view, reformulating the role of women in that era.
Beautiful, Truth, Imaginary in the art of puppet theater - THE INSECT CIRCUS by String Theater
Authors: Ciofu Anca
Published: November 2021

One of the shows invited to attend the 14th Edition of the Iaşi International Theater Festival for Young Audiences (FITPTI), outstanding performance with classic short string puppetry, was performed at the Small Hall of the Luceafărul Theater by String Theater from Great Britain. The London Company relies on the charm of the long strings animating techniques for puppets, maneuvered (manipulated) from a height. The Company started the activity in London, 2011, the founders are Soledad Zarate and Stan Middleton, descendants of several generations of artists specializing in the management and promotion of this type of theater, with Elizabethan roots and fresh puppet infusions. The Insect Circus is a gem show, a demonstration of mastery in the art of puppet handling. A performance that overturns prejudices related to this type of theater, but also a sample of good practice, an example of how the tenderness and clumsiness of these irresistible actors on strings can be enhanced.
Focus on Eastern European Stage Directors
Authors: Petcu Ioana
Published: November 2021

Palgrave Macmillan Publishing House contributions on Global/International Theatre and Performance topics continued in 2021 by a new title 20 Ground- Breaking Directors of Eastern Europe edited by Kalina Stefanova and Marvin Carlson. The book is an important sign taken into consideration by its authors, especially since the theatre, in the last year and a half, has been one of the areas most affected by pandemic situation. Setting the spotlight on the twenty Eastern European stage directors represents a significant gesture in the very diverse landscape, always selfreflective in terms of status in the new context and in which the boundaries between the arts dissipate. The value of such complex studies grows both because they are momentary photographs, as well as a settlement in recent history with directions that foresee the future crossed by a thrill of insecurity.

Meta-analytic studies are distinguished by comparing literature that reports positive effects with respect to literature that warns of spurious or negative effects. The aim of the present work was to establish the proportion of probabilities between categories and subcategories extracted from the consulted, updated and specialized literature. A documentary study was carried out with a selection of sources indexed to international repositories such as Copernicus, Dialnet, Ebsco, Latindex, Redalyc, Scielo. An indistinct scenario was found, even though the literature that reports positive effects on the quality of life and the subjective well-being of public health services prevails; suggesting the extension of the work to repositories like WOS and Scopus.
Chronostratigraphic palaeo-climate phasing based on southern African wetlands: From the escarpment to the eastern seaboard
Authors: Norström E. , Kylander M.E. , Sitoe S.R. , Finch J.M.
Published: November 2021

This paper aims to identify chronostratigraphic palaeo-climatic boundaries based on proxy indications from mountain- and coastal wetlands in eastern South Africa and Lesotho. Phase boundaries were identified from timing of climate change inferred by proxies, as well as regime shifts in climate variability. Sometimes magnitude and/or frequency of change was also considered. Summarizing the common palaeo-climatic indications suggest the following chronostratigraphic climate phases: 25 to 18 ka, 18 to 15 ka, 15 to 11.5, 11.5 to 8 ka, 8 to 5.5 ka, 5.5 to 2 ka and 2 to 0 ka. The most robust boundaries were identified at 18 ka, 15 ka and 2 ka, i.e. these boundaries were supported by several proxies/sites. The other boundaries were less clearly detected from available proxies/sites and should be regarded tentative. The timing of a climate shift often coincides at coast and mountain sites. However, the climate conditions within each chronostratigraphic phase sometimes vary between coast and inland sites. The 25 to 18 ka phase was cool and dry with strong and frequent storms, followed by the ca. 18 to 15 ka period when conditions were less severe but still generally cool and dry. At ca. 15 to 11.5 ka several proxies infer warmer climate, with less winter rains. During 11.5 to 8 ka a general increase in wetness is inferred, followed by warming over the 8 to 5.5 ka phase. Between 5.5 and 2 ka a successive change towards wetter is indicated, although timing differ between sites. After 2 ka generally a more variable climate is seen, often with high magnitude shifts between dry and wet. The data resolution, i.e. the number of available wetland records, increases with time from very low during glacial times, to highest resolution during late Holocene. Geographically, sites in the mountain region are overrepresented compared to coastal sites.

A comparison with coastal lake records suggests a more variable climate at coastal sites compared to mountain sites during mid- and late Holocene, although different proxy resolution and methodology cannot be ruled out as an explanation. A case study compares multiproxy records from Drakensberg (Sekhokong, Ntsikeni) and the coast (Mfabeni), discussing advantages and problems associated with proxy-comparisons within and between sites.

Published: December 2021

The 21st century is entering the era of a leading to the development of environmentally clean and renewable energy sources, decarbonization and a decrease in global consumption of primary energy in the form of hydrocarbons in the European Union, the United States and other countries. A number of countries have a mandatory level of biofuel use, supported by tax incentives and subsidies. The EU Red Standard and the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard are policy initiatives that keep the demand for biofuels growing. In the next decade, the consumption of vegetable oils for biofuel production is projected to grow by 15%. The sowing area of oil crops in the Russian Federation in 2020 amounted to 14.3 million hectares, while 23% of the processing capacities of 25 million tons were not loaded. Turkey, Egypt and Iran will be among the top 5 major importers of Russian oil, along with China and India. Soybean and rapeseed are the main crops for processing into biodiesel. According to forecasts, the export of rapeseed oil may reach 1.1– 1.4 million tons by 2024. Renewable sources of primary energy consumption in Russia should reach 6% in its structure by 2040, which implies the development of alternative energy including the production of raw materials for biodiesel in.

Published: November 2021

Objective: It was aimed to argue the asymptomatic Covid-19 seroprevalence in patients scheduled for elective cataract surgery, to investigate the cost effects of Covid-19 on cataract surgery, and the effects of routinely using the screening test before surgery.Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional and observational study. The study group included 217 patients without any symptoms of Covid-19 who underwent real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) testing for SARS CoV 2 before surgery during the pandemic period and the control group included 200 patients who underwent elective cataract surgery procedure before the Covid-19 pandemic. Their demographic characteristics and the length of hospital stay were recorded. Equipment fees, laboratory fees, drug fees, and hospital service fees were recorded, and cost analysis was made. Seroprevalence of Covid-19 was calculated.Results: The seroprevalence of the asymptomatic Covid-19 infection among all elective cataract surgery patients in our hospital was 1.8%. There was a significant difference between the average cost of the groups (p<0.001).Conclusion: Although the seroprevalence of the disease is very low among asymptomatic patients and the disease increases the cost of the surgery, we think that to identify asymptomatic patients and reduce contagiousness, screening for COVID-19 should continue.
Emotional responses to different flavoured popcorns on watching different types of movies
Authors: Khajarern K.
Published: November 2021

The emotional responses to five flavoured popcorns (butter, cheese, caramel, barbecue and
Thai spicy) compared to ‘not eat anything’ on watching each genre of five digital video
disk (DVD) movies (action, comedy, fantasy, romance and horror movies) were measured
by 100 voluntary audiences. They were recruited to participate in the sensory laboratory
set as a theatre. After five minutes of watching each movie, they had to taste each of the
flavoured popcorns for 25 g serving with 250 mL of drinking water than their 39
emotional and 2 sensory responses were recorded. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and
emotional ratio profiling of all flavoured popcorns on watching each movie were
analysed. The results revealed that the mean overall liking score for each flavoured
popcorn was not different, but the mean emotional scores that responded to each flavoured
popcorn on watching each movie were different significantly (p < 0.01). During watching
the action movie, butter and cheese flavoured popcorns seemed to significantly evoke
most emotions on ‘daring’ and ‘pleasant’ (p < 0.01). While watching the horror movie,
caramel flavoured popcorn undoubtedly evoked the most emotional responses among
other flavoured popcorns. These emotional responses to each of flavoured popcorns on
each of variety DVD movies might be used for movie theatre strategic promotion and
advertisement to add value and distinction for the flavoured popcorn products in all cases.

Published: November 2021

This research aimed to investigate how four different types and amounts of powdered
dried shrimp (crispy dried shrimp, dried krill, dried white baby shrimp, and dried white
shrimp) influenced consumer preferences for reduced sodium Tom Yum Goong seasoning
powder. Three levels (1, 2 and 3% by weight) of each dried shrimp powder were
combined with the Tom Yum seasoning powder (TYSP) reference recipe. Each recipe was
prepared as a soup sample (The sample without dried shrimp powder as a control). The
soup samples were then tested and assessed on 12 attributes using 96 consumer panels.
The results revealed that the sample containing 3% dried white shrimp powder performed
significantly higher than the control in terms of liking in the categories of ‘appearance’,
‘shrimp flavour intensity’, ‘palatability’, ‘natural taste' and ‘overall’, and ‘willingness to
pay’. Furthermore, the sample containing 3% crispy dried shrimp powder had a
significantly higher liking mean score for ‘shrimp flavour intensity,' ‘saltiness’, and
‘palatability’ than the control. However, the sodium content of 3% dried white shrimp
powder (435 mg/L) was lower than that of 3% crispy dried shrimp powder (440 mg/L).
Consequently, 3 % powdered dried white shrimp was selected as an ingredient for reduced
sodium Tom Yum Goong seasoning powder.
Greenhouse Gas Emission Analysis by LNG Fuel Tank Size through Life Cycle
Authors: Park Eunyoung , Choi Jungho
Published: November 2021

As greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport are increasing, the International Maritime Organization is continuously working to strengthen emission regulations. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel is less advantageous as a point of CO2 reduction due to the methane leakage that occurs during the bunkering and operation of marine engines. In this study, greenhouse gas emissions from an LNG-fueled ship were analyzed from the perspective of the life cycle. The amount ofmethane emission during the bunkering and operation procedures with various boil-off gas (BOG) treatment methods and gas engine specifications was analyzed by dynamic simulation. The results were also compared with those of other liquid fuel engines. As a result, small LNG-fueled ships without a BOG treatment facility emitted 32% more greenhouse gas than ships utilizing marine gas oil or heavy fuel oil. To achieve a greenhouse gas reduction via a BOG treatment method, a gas combustion unit or re-liquefaction system must be mounted, which results in a greenhouse gas reduction effect of about 25% and 30%. As a result of comparing the amount of greenhouse gas generated according to the BOG treatment method used with each tank size from the perspective of the operating cycle with the amounts from using existing marine fuels, the BOG treatment method showed superior effects of greenhouse gas reduction.
The Effects of Media Literacy-Based Activities on Writing Skills in the EFL Classroom
Authors: Lee Ji-Hyun
Published: November 2021

This study explores the effectiveness of media literacy-based activities on writing proficiency and affective domains in the EFL setting. A quasi-experiment was conducted during the 2021 academic year with 148 college EFL students selected as participants from three classes from a private university in Seoul, South Korea. Participants were divided into three groups based on proficiency levels: upper proficiency, intermediate proficiency, and lower proficiency. The assigned activities included four steps: (1) watching video clips made by a teacher, (2) group discussion, (3) individual presentation, and (4) individual writing. For these activities, participants used multimedia like YouTube, Fanfiction.net, Reddit discussion boards, and blogs to understand the topic, evaluate the content, and express their thoughts. Popular franchises, including the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the Potterverse, and the Twilight saga provided material for the activities. The study’s results reveal that students significantly increased their writing skills, regardless of proficiency level. Moreover, the higher the linguistic ability, the more the writing ability improved. In a survey, students also showed significant changes in all affective domains (anxiety, interest, confidence, and engagement), except for the lower proficiency group’s confidence domain. The study presents a detailed summary of the activities and derives meaningful implications.

The purpose of the study was to investigate gender stereotypes and prejudices that negatively affect women and men. It is important that students be aware of gender issues and are able to critically reflect on their own prejudices and gender "matrices" of the education system in the context of ‘gender v sex’. A questionnaire was the main method of data collection. A sociological survey, "Students on the problems of gender equality" was conducted at V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University (Ukraine). The survey was conducted based on a three-level probability sample, which ensures the representativeness of the data. The effectiveness of aspects of gender education in secondary schools and higher education institutions has been assessed. At school, the problems of gender equality are not discussed enough; more than 80% of all respondents did not learn anything at school on this topic. Every third student discussed the issues of gender parity in the university classes. As a rule, this was done in general courses (sociology, philosophy, law), as there are no special disciplines on gender parity in society. The study reached the conclusion that respondents were unfamiliar with gender issues, so they might sometimes not see (perceive) certain gender prejudices and oppression in a student body, which encourages more attention to the development of gender-oriented disciplines of Ukrainian universities.

The Translational Learning EcoSystem
Authors: R Lotrecchiano Gaetano , K Norman Marie
Published: November 2021

Aim/Purpose: In this paper we propose an ecosystem for translational learning that combines core learning principles with a multilevel construct that embraces the tenets of translational research, namely, teaming, translating, and implementing. The goal of the paper is to argue that knowledge of learning sciences is essential at the individual, team, and organizational levels in the translational science enterprise.

Background: The two decades that we can now call the translational era of health and medicine have not been without challenges. Many inroads have been made in navigating how scientific teaming, translating knowledge across the health spectrum, and implementing change to our health systems, policies, and interventions can serve our changing global environment. These changes to the traditional health science enterprise require new ways of understanding knowledge, forging relationships, and managing this new tradition of science. Competency requirements that have become important to the enterprise are dependent on a deep understanding about how people learn as individuals, in teams, and within organizations and systems.

Methodology: An individual, team, and organizational conceptual framework for learning in translational ecosystems is developed drawing on the learning science literature, a synthesis of 9 key learning principles and integrated with core competencies for translational science.

Contribution: The translational learning ecosystem is a means by which to understand how translational science competencies can be reinforced by core learning principles as teaming, translating, and implementation intersect as part of the translational science enterprise.

Findings: This paper connects learning science to tailored principles in a simplified way so that those working translational science with less knowledge of theories of learning and pedagogy may be able to access it in a clear and concise way.

Recommendation for Researchers: This paper provides a framework for researchers who engage in the education of translational scientists as well as those who are charged with training new scientists in an emerging field critical to health and medicine.

Future Research: The translational ecosystem described can serve to expand how teaching and learning impact scientific advances. In addition, it serves as a means in which to understand the impact of learning on micro, meso, and macro levels.
Metacognição e as Atividades Experimentais em Ciências: Análise da Produção em Periódicos Estrangeiros
Authors: Rosa Cleci Teresinha Werner da , Santos Ana Cláudia Tasso dos
Published: November 2021

Neste trabalho é analisado um conjunto de artigos estrangeiros que associam a metacognição com as atividades experimentais em Ciências, verificando quais as características presentes nessas pesquisas. Para tanto, desenvolveu-se um estudo junto à base ERIC identificando 19 publicações em língua inglesa. Os resultados evidenciam que as pesquisas em metacognição e atividades experimentais continuam em crescimento e que estão sendo realizadas, com maior frequência, nos Estados Unidos apesar de o continente asiático ter a maior quantidade de países envolvidos em pesquisa nessa área. Além disso, o estudo aponta o componente curricular Química e o ensino de Graduação, como os mais presentes. A organização didático-metodológica verificada na maioria dos artigos foi a atividade experimental investigativa em laboratórios reais, realizada em grupo e sob a orientação de um professor. Em relação ao modo como a metacognição encontra-se associada às atividades experimentais, o estudo revelou que para a maioria das pesquisas a metacognição ocupou lugar de centralidade, todavia, em alguns casos a prática foi modificada para incluí-la e, em outros, ela foi analisada sem a necessidade de alteração. O conceito de metacognição predominante na análise dos resultados dessas investigações foi o relacionado às ações regulatórias do pensamento (autorregulação), utilizadas para planejar, monitorar e avaliar este pensamento e a aprendizagem dos estudantes.

Published: November 2021

A Esclerose Múltipla (EM) é uma doença autoimune caracterizada por causar danos na bainha de mielina, que ao se danificarem prejudicam a condução eficiente de impulsos neurais. A causa da EM engloba fatores genéticos e ambientais que contribuem para o risco da doença. Embora se acredite que esta doença seja multifatorial em etiologia, estudos apontam para um papel conjunto da exposição ambiental a metais pesados, a suscetibilidade a genes associados à resposta imune e o subsequente desenvolvimento da EM. Dentre os possíveis metais envolvidos como agentes externos causadores da EM, encontra-se o Zinco (Zn), o qual pode desempenhar um papel significativo na patogênese da doença, caracterizado pela sua alta concentração no sistema nervoso central e do seu envolvimento na fisiologia do cérebro. Assim, a interrupção da homeostase do Zn pode estar associada ao desenvolvimento de doenças neurodegenerativas. O principal exame utilizado para detectar alterações encefálicas em pacientes com EM é a imagem por ressonância magnética (MRI). Na MRI, a EM é caracterizada por apresentar lesões encefálicas onde ocorre o processo de neurodegeneração. Estudos em MRI buscam incluir o mapeamento quantitativo de marcadores, além de uma avaliação qualitativa da imagem. Embora o mapeamento quantitativo de marcadores como metais possa aumentar significativamente a quantidade, a confiabilidade e a comparabilidade dos dados obtidos em imagens médicas, exige-se a padronização cuidadosa dos protocolos e o desenvolvimento de objetos de referência padrão ou estruturas de calibração (fantomas) para validar a precisão dessas medições in vivo e avaliar a capacidade de repetição e reprodutibilidade das medidas nas imagens. Assim, esse trabalho teve como propósito a utilização e identificação de zinco nas imagens de ressonância magnética obtidas utilizando um objeto simulador (fantoma) de encéfalo, a fim de simular as lesões causadas pela EM.
