Historical Negationism and the Emergence of the Far Right The Crisis of the Modern Regime of Historicity in Brazil (2019-2022)
Authors: MAIA Tatyana de Amaral
Published: January 2024

Abstract This article discusses how denialism of the civil-military dictatorship constitutes a pivotal element in the political propaganda of Jair Bolsonaro and the Brazilian far right. We aim to understand the connections between, on the one hand, the disavowal of our last dictatorship and state terrorism and, on the other, political attempts to undermine the legitimacy of human rights and social movements during the New Republic (1985-2020). We posit that Bolsonaro’s vision for consolidating power entails a reimagining of the republic’s foundations. Crucially, this endeavor involves an attempt to reshape the hegemonic memory regime first established during the redemocratization process. In this sense, the central hypothesis of this article is that historical negationism constitutes a fundamental and structuring axis in the power project of the renewed far right, emerging in a moment of crisis in the modern regime of historicity alongside the rise of presentism. In this regard, the political use of the recent past by the Bolsonaro government hinges on authoritarian political culture, anticommunism, and the purported crusade against corruption. These uses intend to undermine any rights-based agenda, thereby paving the way for the consecration of the neoliberal model.
Cartas forais régias e costume Portugal, séc. XII-XIII
Authors: COELHO Maria Filomena
Published: January 2024

Resumo Os séculos XII e XIII, em Portugal, têm sido historiograficamente identificados como charneira dos forais, dada a abundância documental desses atos jurídicos, principalmente emitidos pela monarquia. Apesar de o teor dos diplomas refletir, frequentemente, “usos e costumes”, tal aspecto não merece a devida atenção, preferindo-se sublinhar potenciais significados políticos atinentes às capacidades daquele que assina os forais: o rei. Para os medievais, que criaram e usaram o instrumento, ele tinha um sentido e uma potência que se conjugavam a vários outros do direito formal, do qual o costume – além da lei – era uma forma. De igual modo, contudo, é ainda possível observar na elaboração desse tipo de instrumento jurídico o peso de normas – ditas não formais. O entrelaçamento entre cartas forais e costume é o problema central deste artigo, por meio de uma perspectiva que pretende ressaltar modulações históricas de caráter multinormativo.
Beyond Raymond Aron The First Reception of Dilthey in France
Authors: MACHADO Hallhane
Published: January 2024

Abstract This article delves into the reception of Dilthey’s work in France during the first half of the 20th century. Rather than focusing on his most famous French commentator of the period, Raymond Aron, this study offers an overview of the appropriations of Dilthey present in the works of Alexandre Koyré, historian of science, and also of philosophy, religions, and German speculative mysticism. Deeply marked by Dilthey’s work, Koyré was close to Aron and Bernard Groethuysen, another ignored Diltheyan reader and commentator. This is attested not only by the studies he wrote directly about this author, but also by those in which his name does not appear, including those on the history of German speculative mysticism and the history of science. This seemingly unconventional association underscores the complexity of Dilthey’s reception in France, making clear the need to broaden this field of analysis beyond Aron’s contributions.
Democratic Control and National Security Intelligence Services in the United States (1972-1980)
Authors: RODRIGUEZ Júlio , CEPIK Marco
Published: January 2024

Abstract This article delves into the vicissitudes of democratic control of government intelligence activities in the United States between 1972 and 1980. The previous phase of the Cold War (1947-1971), characterized by the intense systemic polarization between the United States and the Soviet Union, coupled with the expansion of state capacity and internal social conflicts within the US, contributed to the establishment of complex national systems of intelligence organizations and activities in both countries. In the 1970s, the strategic stabilization of US-USSR relations (détente) depended, in part, on the technological advancements in intelligence gathering from communications, signals, and imagery via satellites. Police and military surveillance of internal dissidents and the growing political crisis towards the end of the Nixon administration created the conditions for an unprecedented and consistent attempt to exert democratic external control over intelligence operations by the Legislative and Judiciary branches. The resurgence of the Cold War from 1980 onwards and the election of Reagan marked the beginning of a partial reversal of the controls. In less than a decade, a highly institutionalized democracy such as the US made great efforts and experienced difficulties regulating and controlling intelligence activities.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT. Due to the increase in the population of the elderly, there is a growing trend in some diseases such as cognitive disorders (dementia) which are common in this era, and the diagnosis and treatment of this disease are still facing challenges. Therefore, early identification of cognitive disorders is of particular importance. In this regard, the use of any tool or cognitive tests may not be enough to diagnose dementia in the early stages and a special tool is needed. Objective: The validity and reliability of the Persian version of the Modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (P-TICS-M) in older adults living in the Iranian community for a comprehensive screening of mild cognitive impairment and dementia was investigated. Methods: In the first phase, translation, re-translation, and word-taking were performed by using the face validity and content validity. In the second phase, a stratified convenient sampling with 150 participants aged ≥60 years was conducted based on cognitive status using the global deterioration scale in 2018. The external and internal reliability of the P-TICS-M using the interclass correlation coefficient and Cronbach's alpha coefﬁcient of total items of this tool were estimated. Results: The mean age of the participants was 68.6 (standard deviation±7.4) years. According to global deterioration scale, 87 (58.0%) had normal cognition, 40 (26.7%) had mild cognitive impairment, and 23 (15.3%) had dementia. The Spearman's correlation coefficient between P-TICS-M scores and Mini-Mental State Examination scale was 0.764. In exploratory factor analysis, seven domains were detected, which were compatible with those defined by the tool developer. The Cronbach's alpha of the P-TICS-M was 0.920. The absolute agreement between test-retest score was >0.90. The sensitivity of 92.2, 94.8, and 100%, and also the specificity of 79.4, 88.2, and 89.8% were calculated for detecting subjects with dementia, respectively. Furthermore, a mild cognitive impairment cutoff of >28 was determined. Conclusion: The development and validation of a P-TICS-M tool can be useful in identifying older adult people with cognitive impairment. Demographic characteristics (level of education, age) can also affect the cutoff point of this tool.

Published: January 2024

RESUMO O ingresso no Ensino Superior inclui estressores variados para o estudante e a literatura aponta a necessidade de intervenções para facilitar a adaptação à universidade. A oficina de vivências acadêmicas, uma intervenção psicológica breve (8 sessões) de base analítico-comportamental, buscou desenvolver repertórios para o enfrentamento dos estressores presentes no Ensino Superior. Participaram 9 acadêmicas de enfermagem, que após consentimento, responderam antes e após a participação na oficina: 1) o Self-Reporting Questionnaire, versão brasileira, um instrumento de triagem de sintomas relacionados a transtornos mentais comuns (TMC); e 2) a Escala de Bem-estar Psicológico (EBEP). Inicialmente, 88,9% das participantes apresentavam sintomas de TMC, e a média da EBEP foi 24,97 (DP=1,22). Após a intervenção, somente 22,2% das estudantes continuaram apresentando sintomas de TMC, e a média da EBEP aumentou para 29,34 (DP=1,17). As implicações dessa intervenção são discutidas tendo em vista os desafios enfrentados pela Psicologia Escolar e Educacional no Ensino Superior.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: This randomized crossover trial evaluated periodontal indexes of two types of 3 x 3 retainers (a modified 0.032-in SS V-loop retainer and a conventional 0.0215-in SS coaxial wire retainer) after bonded for six months. Also, bonded failure rate, and a questionnaire about comfort, ease of cleaning and overall preference were recorded. Material and Methods: 15 patients were enrolled in this study who used both retainers for six months each, having a 15-day wash-out interval between each bonded retainer usage. The following periodontal index were recorded: Plaque Index (PI), Calculus Index (CI) and Gingival Index (GI). Patients answered a questionnaire to assess comfort, ease of cleaning and overall retainer-type preference. Rate of bonding failure was also evaluated. Results: V-Loop retainer showed higher PI (P<0.05) as compared to conventional 0.0215-in coaxial wire retainer. However, CI and GI presented no statistically significant differences between both types of retainers. The conventional 0.0215-in coaxial wire retainer was chosen as the most comfortable (p<0.05), although no statistically significant differences were found for all other questionnaire answers. Bonding failure events were more observed in the 3x3 V-Loop retainer (p<0.002), as compared to the conventional 0.0215-in coaxial retainer. Conclusion: V-Loop retainer showed higher PI (p<0.05), higher bonding failure rate and less comfortable, as compared to conventional 0.0215-in coaxial wire.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare alignment efficiency and root resorption between nickel-titanium (NiTi) and copper-nickel-titanium (CuNiTi) archwires after complete alignment in mandibular anterior region. Methods: In this two-arm parallel single-blind randomized controlled trial, forty-four patients with Class I malocclusion with mandibular anterior crowding were recruited form orthodontic clinic of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (Jodhpur, India). Patients were randomly allocated into NiTi and CuNiTi groups, with a 1:1 allocation. Alignment was performed using 0.014-in, 0.016-in, 0.018-in, 0.019x0.025-in archwire sequence in the respective groups, which terminated in 0.019 x 0.025-in stainless-steel working archwire. The primary outcome was alignment efficiency, measured on study models from baseline (T0) to the first, second, third, fourth and fifth-month (T5). Secondary outcome was root resorption, measured from CBCT scans taken at T0 and T5. Mixed-factorial ANOVA was used to compare Little’s Irregularity Index (LII). For assessing the proportion of patients with complete alignment at the end of each month, Kaplan-Meier survival curve was built and time to treatment completion was compared between groups using log rank test. Paired t-test was used to assess external apical root resorption (EARR) within groups, whereas independent t-test was used to evaluate LII and EARR between the groups. Results: Twenty-two patients were recruited in each group. One patient was lost to follow-up in the CuNiTi group. No statistically significant differences were observed in alignment efficiency between the groups (p>0.05). Intergroup comparison revealed that the changes in root measurement in three-dimensions were not statistically significant (p>0.05), except for mandibular right central incisor, which showed increased resorption at root apex in NiTi group (p<0.01). Conclusion: The two alignment archwires showed similar rate of alignment at all time points. Root resorption measurement did not differ between the NiTi and CuNiTi groups, except for the mandibular right central incisor, which showed more resorption in NiTi group.
How does arch form and interproximal contact size affect the 3D displacements and rotations of teeth: a finite element analysis
Authors: ÁLVAREZ Andrea , CORREA Santiago Alberto , BUSCHANG Peter H. , ROLDÁN Samuel I.
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to determine how arch form and interproximal contact size displace mandibular teeth subjected to an anterior component of force (ACF). Methods: Nine finite element models (FEM) of the mandibular arch were developed using Ansys® v. 16.0 software. They were designed to evaluate the effects of three arch forms (triangular, oval, and square) and three contact sizes (point-to-point, 1 mm diameter, and 2 mm diameter). All nine models were subjected to an ACF of 53.8 N (5486 gm). Three-dimensional tooth rotations and displacements of the mandibular teeth were evaluated, from the right first molar to the left first molar. Results: Arch form had a greater effect on tooth movements than contact size. Triangular arches and point-to-point contacts produced the greatest displacements and rotations of teeth. Oval arches with 2 mm wide interproximal contact points showed the greatest stability. The right first premolar showed the greatest displacements in all of the models. Conclusions: Arch form and contact size affect interproximal tooth stability. Teeth are least stable in narrow arches with point-to-point interproximal contacts, and most stable in wider arches with larger contacts.
Orthodontic aligners: between passion and science

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT Introduction: The benefits and safety of using orthodontic aligners have been reported more by clinical experience and expert opinion than by scientific evidence. Another important aspect is that aligners are constantly evolving. It is important to obtain evidence that allows for new updates in manufacturing technology, in the development of new movement planning protocols, in the incorporation and design of attachments, and in the aid of skeletal anchorage. Methods: Evidence retrieved from six electronic databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Psych Info, the Cochrane Library and the Joanna Briggs Library) is presented by means of questions and answers. Conclusions: There is evidence that the aligners presented different levels of difficulty in performing each type of movement, with rotational and vertical movements being the most difficult to perform. Regarding perception of pain due to tooth movement, it seems to have less impact at the beginning of treatment; but dealing with more phonoarticulatory changes seems to require more treatment time in more complex cases. Aligners do not prevent the occurrence of root resorption, although the incidence and severity of resorption may be reduced, making oral hygiene easier and accepting the risk of white spots, caries and periodontal disease. Given the conflicting evidence, the release of bisphenol-A from the aligner cannot be denied. Solutions must be found to reduce the environmental impact of aligners disposal. There is an urgent need for well-designed randomized controlled trials.

Published: January 2024

Abstract Aim This study aimed to evaluate the spatial and temporal distribution of ichthyoplankton in the Peri Lagoon, a coastal freshwater lagoon in Brazil. Methods Ichthyoplankton samples were collected every two months from June 2008 to April 2010 with 500 µm conical-cylindrical planktonic nets at five sampling stations. Results In total, 181 fish eggs and 1,315 larvae, representing estuarine and freshwater species, were captured. The most representative species were Awaous tajasica, Ctenogobius sp1, and Platanichthys platana. Significant differences were found in temporal egg distribution and larval spatiotemporal distribution (Kruskal-Wallis test, p < 0.05). Eggs were predominantly captured during the autumn, winter, and spring Neotropical seasons. Geospatial analysis demonstrated spatial segregation in the distribution of larval assemblages, with higher abundances in areas adjacent to riparian forests, following stream mouths, and deeper areas with rocky substrates. Conclusions Proximity to streams and areas surrounded by dense forests is crucial for the spawning and development of fish species in the Peri Lagoon. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the conservation of the ichthyofauna in this unique environment.

Published: January 2024

We present the design and stability analysis of an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS)-based controller of a pacemaker in MATLAB Simulink. ANFIS uses learning and speed properties of fuzzy and neural networks. Based on body states and preprogrammed situations of patients (age and sex, etc.), heart rate and amplitude of pacing pulse are changed. Output signal that is fed backed from heart is compared to the reference fuzzy bases ANFIS signals. After designing ANFIS based controller, the stability of the proposed system has been tested in both the time (step response) and trequency (Bode diagram and Nichols chart) domains. In our previous study, the step response analyzed and compared with other works. For frequency domain, all the possible frequency analysis methods have been tested but because of nonlinear properties of ANFIS, after linearization, just the Bode diagram achieved good results. The step response results in time domain is compared with previous work's results including optimum heart pulse rate for each particular patient. In the frequency domain, the Bode diagram stability analysis showed gain and phase margin as follows: GM (dB) = 42.1 and PM (deg) = 100.
Investigation of possible use of pheromone trap for adult population development and control of Ips sexdentatus (Börner, 1776) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) damaging black pine in Başkent University Bağlıca Campus afforestation area
Authors: ERDOĞAN Cem
Published: January 2024

The six-toothed pine bark beetle, Ips sexdentatus (Börner, 1776) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), is one of the important pests of Pinus and Picea species in the forests of Türkiye. Başkent University Bağlıca Campus was established in 1993 and approximately 5 million trees have been planted in the area to date, including those that have dried up. Pheromone traps were hung in campus for monitoring the adult population development, determining the flight activities of the insect and controlling it on IPM principles. The first adult emergence of I. sexdentatus in Bağlıca took place in the first half of April, the highest flight activity was in April. Ips sexdentatus produced three generations in the region. The highest numbers of adults caught in traps were 741 (27 July 2021) and 421 (25 April 2022), respectively. In the Bağlıca Campus, a total of over 19,000 insects were caught and eliminated. Almost 328 tC of carbon stock was preserved and prevented from being released into nature and at least 11.100 black pine trees were saved or 26.640 USD was contributed to the economy. Using pheromone traps for the control of I. sexdentatus is recommended as a sustainable method that protects biodiversity, without any disturbance of the ecological balance.
Description of Podothrombium sultanae sp. nov. (Trombidiformes: Podothrombiidae) from Türkiye and an updated key to species
Authors: SABOORI Alireza , ERSİN Firdevs , ÇAKMAK İbrahim
Published: January 2024

Members of Parasitengona belong to the suborder Prostigmata and are one of the important groups of terrestrial mites. They are ectoparasitic in their larval stage whereas their post-larval forms feed on different arthropods as free-living predators. The genus Podothrombium Berlese, 1910 (Trombidiformes: Podothrombiidae) has 19 described species globally, with only two species currently known from Türkiye. This paper describes a new member of this genus, Podothrombium sultanae sp. nov., from Murat Mountain, Kütahya, Türkiye in 2023. Larvae of this species, collected from moss and leaf litter 1181 m a.s.l on Murat Mountain, are described, illustrated and an updated key to species of Podothrombium worldwide (larva) has been added. It is recommended that further investigations be conducted to understand the distribution of these mites and their roles in the environment in Türkiye.
Complex diachronies of final nasalization in Austronesian and Dakota
Authors: Dąbkowski Maksymilian , Beguš Gašper
Published: January 2024

Final nasalization of voiced stops is phonetically unmotivated (i.e. not a consequence of universal articulatory or perceptual tendencies). As such, final nasalization has been deemed an impossible sound change. Nonetheless, Blust (2005; 2016) proposes that final nasalization took place in four Austronesian languages: Kayan-Murik, Berawan dialects, Kalabakan Murut, and Karo Batak. In this paper, we argue final nasalization in these languages is not a single sound change and reduce it to a combination of phonetically grounded changes. We demonstrate that in Austronesian, final nasalization involved four steps: (i) fricativization of voiced stops, (ii) devoicing of the fricatives, (iii) spontaneous nasalization before voiceless fricatives, and (iv) occlusion of the nasalized fricatives to nasal stops. Finally, we extend our account to final nasalization in Dakota (Siouan) and propose a new explanation for the development of the unnatural final voicing in the related Lakota language. Our results shed light on the role of phonetic naturalness in diachrony and synchrony. We maintain that while phonetically unnatural phonological processes may arise via a sequence of sound changes or analogical extension, sound changes are always natural and phonetically grounded.
Null subject pronouns in Papiá Kristang (Malacca Creole Portuguese)
Authors: de Santana Silva Larissa , Baxter Alan Norman
Published: January 2024

This paper investigates variation in the subject pronoun expression (SPE) in Papiá Kristang (Malacca Creole Portuguese), a language without verb inflection. Previous accounts of Kristang (Baxter, 1988, 2012b; Hancock, 1969, 1973; Knowlton, 1964; Rêgo, 1942) present the language as predominantly displaying overt subject pronouns. However, the overall null subject pronoun rate in the oral corpus contemplated is substantial, registering a frequency of 45.7% (input pr. 0.32). As such, the paper focusses on the distribution of null subject pronouns and the constraints directing that distribution. The study considers the effects of priming, structural location, verb semantic class, and tense-mood-aspect (TMA), and addresses the effect of the individual speaker. It is found that while null subject pronoun use in Papiá Kristang resembles, with minor differences, many attributes of this mechanism in other languages, it displays one notable trait: TMA particles favor null subject pronoun use. Extralinguistic constraints on SPE within the Papiá Kristang speech community are seen to concern more the characteristics of individual speakers, and clusters of individuals, rather than predictors based on a pan-community age and gender classification.

Published: January 2024

It was evaluated the behavior, during accelerated storage, of the quality indicators of an isotonic sport drink made from the mixture of pineapple juice, distilled water, sucrose and NaCl. The drink was packed in amber glass bottles was pasteurized at 80 °C for 5 min in a water bath. The drink was stored at 45, 50 and 55 °C with the aim of achieving accelerated deterioration. The drink presented a total sugar content of 7.6%, osmolality of 328 mOsm/kg and sensory acceptance corresponding to the category -I like it slightly-. At the end of storage at each temperature, there was a decrease in brightness and an increase in the values of a* and b*, related to the increase (p ≤ 0.05) of the browning index (IP) and the moment of sensory rejection, due to a notable loss of pineapple color. The behaviors of the IP at each temperature were adjusted to polynomial models of order five with high coefficients of determination (> 0.98). This study provides useful information for the optimization of beverage production, quality control and spoilage prediction, which could contribute to the development of new products and satisfy consumer needs.

Published: January 2024

Craft beer is of vital importance because it is brewed with natural ingredients and has been known worldwide for its variety of flavour and excellent quality since ancient times. Therefore, the aim of this research work was to brew craft beer with the inclusion of corn, pineapple pulp (A. comosus) and coconut essence (C. nucifera) and its evaluation of technological and sensory properties. An A*B+1 factorial design was used, in which cereal mixtures (barley and maize) and flavour mixtures (pineapple pulp and coconut essence) were evaluated. The results showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the means of the treatments, determining that GT1 (75% barley + 25% maize + 2.5% pineapple pulp + 1% coconut essence), presented similar values to the control treatment with a total acidity of 0.20%; alcohol content of 4.95% and a colour by spectrophotometry of 7.05 SRM. In addition, it presented the best sensory profiles, according to the categories evaluated, with a mild aroma; moderate bitter taste; golden colouring characteristic of the sample and a higher level of acceptability. It is necessary to mention that the use of new raw materials, such as maize, of which only 20% is used in Ecuador for the food industry, by including it in the formulation of beers, increases the production and consumption of this grain, thus promoting new alternatives that contribute to the country's socio-economic sector.

Authors: Suslov V. M. , Liberman L. N. , Rudenko D. I. , Suslova G. A.
Published: January 2024

Background. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a hereditary, X-linked, progressive, disabling disease. One of the possible pathogenetic methods for treating this disease is the drug ataluren, which acts at the stage of protein translation in the ribosome and makes it possible to read information from mRNA, despite the presence of a premature stop codon in it, and, as a result, synthesize the dystrophin protein.Aim. To evaluate the dynamics of the course of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in patients receiving appropriate drug and non-drug therapy and patients receiving pathogenetic therapy with ataluren.Materials and methods. We examined 38 patients with genetically confirmed Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Of these, 11 patients with a genetically confirmed nonsense mutation receiving pathogenetic therapy with ataluren and 27 patients in the comparison group with other mutations in the dystrophin gene. 6‑minute walk test and timed function tests was done at baseline and during follow-up. Ataluren side effects were assessed.Results. Statistically significant positive dynamics were revealed during follow-up at 12 month when assessing the distance of a 6‑minute walk test and tests for getting up from the floor and running 10 meters in groups taking ataluren and receiving standard drug therapy with the initial initiation of a course of regular physical exercise. The control group was characterized by negative dynamics in speed tests.Conclusion. Thus, when taking ataluren in the standard recommended dosage, patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy with a nonsense mutation shows a decrease in the rate of disease progression and an improvement in speed and endurance. The initial prescription of regular non-weightbearing aerobic exercise on the early ambulatory stage is also characterized by an increase in motor skills.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked inherited neuromuscular disorder typically manifesting in boys aged 2–5 years, characterized by a progressive course. According to natural disease progression data, individuals with DMD typically lose the ability to walk independently by the age of 13. In most cases, the disease leads to cardiorespiratory complications, resulting in a lethal outcome between the ages of 20–30.In recent years, there have been therapeutic agents developed for the pathogenic treatment of this condition. One such medication is ataluren (Translarna®), used in patients with DMD caused by the formation of a “stop codon” (nonsense mutation) in the DMD gene, responsible for the development of the disease.This article presents the experience of applying ataluren (Translarna®) in boys residing in Moscow who suffer from Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Zdrowie i zdrowy w świetle danych językowych z najstarszych polskich tekstów kulinarnych
Authors: Przęczek-Kisielak Sylwia
Published: January 2024

Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony został sposobom konceptualizacji pojęcia ZDROWIE w staropolszczyźnie, choć jego zasadnicza część dotyczy opozycji między zdrowiem a chorobą, czyli jednej z zasadniczych relacji w językowym obrazie świata. Materiał badawczy stanowią najstarsze polskie książki kucharskie opublikowane w serii „Monumenta Poloniae Culinaria. Polskie zabytki kulinarne” pod redakcją Jarosława Dumanowskiego. Materiał ten, niezwykle bogaty i cenny, nie został do tej pory wykorzystany w badaniach lingwistycznych, a wyraźnie wskazuje na powiązanie leksyki dotyczącej kuchni z pojęciem zdrowia, konceptualizowanego w tych tekstach na osiem różnych sposobów: biomedyczny model zdrowia jako braku choroby (1), ujęcie aksjologiczne – zdrowie jako wartość (2), stan równowagi między umysłem, ciałem i duchem (3), zdrowie w wymiarze duchowym: zadowolenie, radość i szczęście (4), styl życia (5), ujęcie funkcjonalne zdrowia (6), zdrowie jako narzędzie do realizacji celów (7), zdrowie w wymiarze społecznym (8). Autorka dokonuje analizy środków językowych służących konceptualizacji zdrowia na kilku poziomach języka: leksykalnym, składniowym i na poziomie tekstu. Rozważania te, poparte licznymi przykładami z tekstów, dowiodły, że najczęstszy i najliczniej reprezentowany jest biomedyczny model zdrowia, w ten sposób ujmowany również w opracowaniach leksykograficznych dotyczących najstarszej polszczyzny. Niemniej wyraźnie obecne w staropolskich tekstach kulinarnych są i pozostałe aspekty zdrowia: aksjologiczny (zdrowie jako wartość), duchowy (zdrowie – zadowolenie, radość i szczęście), psychologiczny (stan równowagi między umysłem, ciałem i duchem), funkcjonalny (narzędzie do realizacji celów), indywidualny i społeczny – zdecydowanie zatem bogatsze niż opisywane w najważniejszych źródłach leksykograficznych.
„Ginące dzieci, rozpaczające matki” – analiza dyskursu zapośredniczonego komputerowo w odniesieniu do obrazu ludności cywilnej oraz narodu dotkniętych wojną w Ukrainie (na podstawie polsko-języcznych wpisów na forach internetowych)

Celem artykułu jest wstępne zbadanie dyskursywnego obrazu cywili oraz całego narodu dotkniętych zbrojną napaścią Rosji na Ukrainę w 2022 roku, na podstawie wpisów na polskojęzycznych forach internetowych. Zastosowaną metodą badawczą jest jakościowa analiza dyskursu z elementami analizy wspomaganej komputerowo z wykorzystaniem narzędzia Sketch Engine. O ile istnieje szereg badań dotyczących trwającego od 2014 konfliktu w Ukrainie na podstawie szeroko pojętego dyskursu medialnego, wydaje się, iż wydarzenia od 2022 roku nie zostały jeszcze dogłębnie zbadane. W części teoretyczno-metodologicznej artykułu omówiono takie zagadnienia jak dyskurs i narracja oraz analiza dyskursu zapośredniczonego komputerowo, w tym gatunek wpisu na forum. W części analitycznej, z perspektywy mikro, skupiono się na tekstowych odniesieniach do cywilów i narodu, jak również ich otoczeniu tekstowym. W perspektywie makro z kolei zbadano dłuższe struktury tj. dyskursy i narracje oraz zastosowane metafory. Jak pokazują wyniki tego badania, z perspektywy mikro, ukraińscy cywile oraz naród są przedstawiani w sposób pasywny, jako tło dla lub obiekt działań, również militarnych, co można wywnioskować na podstawie obecności konkretnych elementów tematycznych oraz rozmieszczenia akcentów komunikacyjnych na poziomie zdania, a także zastosowanych wyrażeń metaforycznych. Z perspektywy makro, niniejsze dane zostały analizowane pod kątem obecności konkretnych dyskursów oraz narracji, które pojawiły się we wcześniejszych badaniach, na innych danych, w innym kontekście i w innych ramach czasowych. W niniejszym badaniu również pojawił się dyskurs podzielonego narodu oraz narracje dotyczące krytyki Zachodu, budowania rosyjskiego państwa oraz walki z faszyzmem. Zakładając, iż istnieje zależność pomiędzy dyskursem a społeczną rzeczywistością, w świetle uzyskanych wyników należy podkreślić rolę mediów w kształtowaniu konkretnych poglądów oraz postaw.
Kim jest Twitterowa Julka? Możliwe przyczyny i mechanizm powstania nowego eponimu z perspektywy socjolingwistycznej
Authors: Miaskowska Aleksandra
Published: January 2024

Protesty z 2020 roku stały się jednym z ważniejszych symptomów przemian społeczno-kulturowych we współczesnej Polsce. W mediach społecznościowych ich uczestniczki zaczęto nazywać Julkami, a utworzony w ten sposób eponim stał się na tyle nośny, że trafił m.in. na szczyt plebiscytu na Młodzieżowe Słowo Roku 2020. Celem niniejszego badania było spojrzenie na Julkę zarówno od strony językoznawczej, jak i socjologicznej, by sprawdzić, czy faktycznie mamy tu do czynienia z eponimem, scharakteryzować jego potencjalne znaczenia i określić możliwe przyczyny fenomenu Julki. Opisane badanie przeprowadzono w ramach pracy magisterskiej na kierunki socjologia, w której wykorzystano autorski, anotowany korpus eponimu Julka, zawierający automatycznie zebrane wypowiedzi użytkowników dwóch mediów społecznościowych: Twittera i Wykopu. Korpus został stworzony przy użyciu narzędzia monitorującego SentiOne. Przy jego pomocy zgromadzono wpisy pochodzące z trzech nielinearnych okresów: przed wyrokiem i protestami z 2020 roku (luty, marzec, kwiecień 2020), w trakcie głównej fali protestów i po wyroku (wrzesień, październik, listopad 2020) oraz po wyroku i po głównej fali protestów (luty, marzec, kwiecień 2021). Tym sposobem ustalono, że Julka zaliczyła ogromny wzrost popularności właśnie w okresie jesiennej i zarazem największej fali protestów przeciw zaostrzeniu prawa aborcyjnego w Polsce, a w ostatnim z badanych okre- sów, mimo uspokojenia się sytuacji społeczno-politycznej, doszło do utrwalenia tego leksemu w funkcji eponimu. Zwrócono także uwagę na szczególny charakter nowych eponimów odimiennych – w tym Julki – u których niemożliwe jest wskazanie jednoznacznego osobowego źródła cech, jak ma to miejsce w wypadku większości eponimów odimiennych (np. Romeo, Goebbels, bojkot). Na podstawie analizy próbki założono, że źródłem cech (domeną źródłową) eponimu Julka jest osobowy konstrukt społeczny, na który składają się trzy elementy: stereotypy, osobiste doświadczenia mówiącego i obiektywne zależności wynikające ze stanu rzeczywistości pozajęzykowej (np. rosnąca liczba młodych kobiet deklarujących poglądy lewicowe).
Etnolekty czy języki? Rzecz o Saamach (Lapończykach) i ich recepcji w Polsce
Authors: Stefańczyk Wiesław
Published: January 2024

Artykuł przedstawia krótki rys historyczny Sápmi, wybrane aspekty kultury Saamów, obecną sytuację językową na całym obszarze Sápmi, szczególny status języka północnosaamskiego, w tym również badania własne oraz recepcję Saamów w Polsce. Saamowie, choć są bardzo nielicznym narodem i nigdy nie stworzyli swej struktury państwowej, mają bardzo silnie rozbudowaną świadomość swej tożsamości oraz przynależności narodowej. Ich liczbę szacuje się na ok. 60–120 tysięcy osób, z czego jedynie niewielka część używa na co dzień swego rodzimego języka. Ich ojczyzna – Sápmi obejmuje obszar ok. 380 tysięcy kilometrów kwadratowych. Saamowie zamieszkują obecnie terytorium czterech państw – Norwegii, Szwecji, Finlandii i Rosji (północna część Półwyspu Kolskiego). Pierwotnie zajmowali znacznie większy obszar Fennoskandii, o czym świadczą m. in. dane archeologiczne oraz toponomastyczne. Spośród dziewięciu używanych współcześnie etnolektów, tj. południowosaamskiego, ume, pite, lule, inari, skolt, kildin, ter, najwięcej użytkowników posługuje się językiem północnosaamskim. Jest to ok. 75% ogółu populacji Saamów, zamieszkujących obszar Norwegii (w Norwegii 90% Saamów używa języka północnosaamskiego), Szwecji i Finlandii. Jest to język bogatej literatury, mediów (radio, telewizja, prasa, internet), teatru, filmu, a także język nauki. Jego krzewieniem oprócz wielu organizacji i stowarzyszeń zajmuje się sieć szkół zarówno podstawowych oraz ponadpodstawowych, jak i (zwłaszcza) powstały w 1989 w Kautokeino (Norwegia) uniwersytet saamski (Sámi Allaskuvla). W Polsce istnieje duże zainteresowanie tematyką saamską, o czym świadczą liczne opracowania z zakresu socjologii, kulturoznawstwa, a także pedagogiki porównawczej. W polskiej literaturze lingwistycznej tematyka Saamów jest jednak przedstawiona w sposób niepełny, fragmentaryczny, istnieje więc potrzeba dogłębnych badań, w tym także konfrontatywnych, które pozwoliłyby wypełnić tę lukę.
Kobieta w zagrożeniu. Obraz Afganek w reportażu radiowym Anny Dudzińskiej
Authors: Nakonieczna Katarzyna
Published: January 2024

Recenzja poświęcona jest reportażowi Anny Dudzińskiej pt. Biała książka Gabi Maj, który ukazał się na antenie Polskiego Radia w 2017 roku. Omówiony dokument jest złożoną opowieścią o losach kobiet w azjatyckim świecie. Słuchacz poznaje historię Polki-emigrantki, a także w sposób pośredni – doświadczenia Afganek skazanych na karę więzienia. Celem recenzji jest scharakteryzowanie punktów widzenia reporterki, która wchodzi w określone role. Mam tu na myśli rolę świadka, uczestnika zdarzeń, czy słuchacza. Reporterce trudno jest się wyzbyć swoich uprzedzeń i powszechnie przyjętych przez Europejczyków wyobrażeń. Relacja z obcą kulturą jest szczególnie skomplikowana, gdy dochodzi do spotkania z inną religią, innym systemem politycznym, innym światopoglądem, czy wreszcie innym stosunkiem do płci i roli kobiety. Autorka nie przenika do zastanej rzeczywistości, ale próbuje wychwycić pewne jej cechy, zwraca również uwagę na różne niuanse czy sprzeczności. Reportaż, który trwa kilkanaście minut, już sam w sobie ma pewne ograniczenia, chociażby czasowe. I choć dany temat można zrealizować na tysiąc sposobów, albo łącząc dziesiątki wątków, Dudzińska nie próbuje w swoim materiale dokonać pospiesznej próby skondensowania aspektów wielokulturowości i odmienności. Reportaż w jej wykonaniu to forma wysoce artystyczna, kunsztowna, w której najmniejszy detal ma swoje znaczenie. Na zbudowaną przez nią wielką narrację składa się szereg mniejszych, które tworzą przejmującą opowieść o losie kobiet w odległych częściach świata. Towarzyszy temu bogaty kod dźwiękowy, który również nadaje dodatkowe znaczenia. Analiza językowo-kulturowa materiału skłania do potwierdzenia tezy o relatywizmie kulturowym i złożonej mapie mentalnej mieszkańców współczesnego globu.
