Background: Neem (Azadirachta indica), Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) and Cow urine (Bos indicus) has been widely used as a therapeutic potential or additive agent in different ethnomedicinal practices as well as modern science also proved its therapeutic potential to treat various diseases and balance the body conditions.

Aims: Alone study on Neem, Tulsi and Cow urine (CU) has been widely performed but this study aims to evaluate the individual as well as synergistic antioxidant and antibacterial activity of Neem, and Tulsi’s leaves extract in different organic solvents and Cow urine.

Materials and Methods: Antioxidant activity was carried out by using 2,2-Diphenyl1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and the antibacterial activity was tested by the agar disc diffusion method against gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus)  and gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris and Klebsiella species) bacteria.

Results: The antioxidant and antibacterial activity is concentration-dependent. The neem extract in chloroform shows the highest ZOI against S. aureus (14±2). Similarly, the neem extract in cow urine (8±0.86) and tulsi extract in methanol (8±1.04) shows the highest ZOI against E. coli. Against K. species cow urine is most effective (9±0.29) followed by neem extract in chloroform and cow urine (8±0.77). In P. vulgaris almost all sample shows ZOI around 7 mm. In synergistic antibacterial study tulsi and neem extract in cow urine shows the highest ZOI against E. coli (12±1.75) and P. vulgaris (10±1.44). The tulsi and neem extract in hexane is not effective against S. aureus and E. coli but effective in P. vulgaris and K. species (ZOI 7 mm). Tulsi and neem extract in chloroform, methanol, and cow urine show similar ZOI (9 mm). In DPPH free radical scavenging activity the methanolic extract of tulsi shows the highest inhibition of free radicle (96.35±0.001), followed by methanolic extract of neem (84.85±0.042). The fresh cow urine inhibits (25.19±0.037) followed by neem extract in chloroform (24.53±0.003), neem extract in cow urine (21.8±0.012), tulsi extract in chloroform (20.86±0.047), tulsi extract in hexane (19.5±0.031), tulsi extract in cow urine (18.33±0.023) and the least inhibition by neem extract in hexane (6.74±0.042).

GILKA MACHADO, POETA MODERNA
Authors: Pietrani Anélia Montechiari
Published: February 2020

Tomando por relevo as relações político-textuais e político-contextuais dos estudos literários, este artigo tem por objetivo interpretar poemas de Gilka Machado (1893-1980), cuja produção teve início naquele momento nomeado por alguns críticos historiográficos como pré-modernismo, um período de transição que reúne tendências conservadoras e renovadoras no início do século XX brasileiro. A poesia de Gilka Machado estabelece diálogos com essas tendências literárias, mas constrói uma voz poética muito própria, marcada por intensa carga de erotização e por reflexões sobre o papel social e cultural das mulheres – temáticas já amplamente estudadas pela fortuna crítica da autora, que podem ser bastante enriquecidas quando conjugadas à abordagem sobre a consciência poética que ela expressa em sua poesia. Exemplo significativo dessa comunhão de aspectos se encontra no poema “Lépida e leve”, publicado em Meu glorioso pecado (1928), cuja leitura interpretativa dos traços imagéticos, estilísticos e vanguardistas aponta-o em direção à poesia moderna de Gilka Machado em seu “momento futurista”, no sentido estudado por Marjorie Perloff a partir do termo cunhado por Renato Poggioli.

Palavras-chave: Gilka Machado. Poesia moderna brasileira. Crítica literária feminista. Consciência poética.

MAURA LOPES CANÇADO: CONSIDERAÇÕES EM TORNO DO INÍCIO DA LITERATURA FEMININA AUTOBIOGRÁFICA NO BRASIL
Authors: Custódio Márcia Moreira , Jardim Alex Correia
Published: February 2020

A proposta do texto é problematizar a literatura feminina no Brasil, em especial aquela de perspectiva autobiográfica. Esse ‘estilo’ de escrita em Maura L. Cançado nos mostra que neste gênero a literatura se mistura com o próprio ato de escrever, um tipo de murmúrio estranho que não se restringe a uma mera consciência crítica. E é pela escrita de Hospício é deus – diário I (1965) e de O sofredor do ver (1968) que a escritora faz uma consagração das palavras e expressa, a partir daquilo que a transvasa, sua inquietude em relação ao mundo, às pessoas, às relações. Em Maura, a “palavra literária é um ‘arrombamento’”, escapando-se das limitações da mera linguagem formal. Nesse sentido, Maura escapa a uma busca pela verdade ou estabelecimento de uma metanarrativa e se insurge no direito de falar, de instituir um território, um possível qualquer. É a partir desse fio condutor que pensaremos a obra de Maura Lopes Cançado, enfatizando a relação entre escrita ficcional e autobiográfica, indicando de que modo autora e personagem se imbricam e expressam sentimentos em relação a uma determinada ordem constituída e estabelecida.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Literatura feminina. Escrita de si. Maura L. Cançado. Literatura autobiográfica. Loucura.

Published: February 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo abordar o ER nas escolas públicas do Estado do Amapá. Trata-se do resultado de um estudo descritivo de natureza qualitativa que adotou a pesquisa bibliográfica e a análise documental como forma de investigação. Os resultados pontuaram aspectos relacionados às orientações curriculares dispensadas pela Secretaria Estadual de Educação (SEED) e pelo Conselho Estadual de Educação (CEE), além de outras orientações. Foram elencadas as expectativas de aprendizagens para o componente ER no Ensino Fundamental das escolas públicas que compõem a rede estadual de ensino do Amapá. Concluiu-se que o ER tem sido uma tarefa desafiadora, que não pode se influenciar por apenas uma concepção religiosa, mas deve adotar em suas práticas educativas a laicidade e as reformulações promovidas pelas legislações educacionais em nível nacional e estadual, as quais, em sua totalidade garantem uma educação para todos, igualitária e provedora de acesso ao processo ensino e aprendizagem, sem utilizar métodos ou conteúdos seletivos e nem modelos para se afirmar o trabalho do fenômeno religioso na escola.

A Fortaleza da fé em dois movimentos: marchando para Jesus, caminhando com Maria
Authors: (UECE) Emanuel Freitas da Silva
Published: February 2020

Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre duas etnografias realizadas em eventos religiosos de matrizes cristãs na cidade de Fortaleza, no ano de 2018. Um evento de matriz evangélica, denominado Marcha para Jesus, e um evento de matriz católica, a Caminhada com Maria. Concordamos com o antropólogo Clifford Geertz quando afirma que, na contemporaneidade, a religião parece ter sido “impulsionada para fora” dos seus tradicionais espaços de manifestação, lançando-se à ocupação dos espaços públicos de sociabilidade para a conquista de novos adeptos. Identificamos, pois, uma disputa entre católicos e protestantes por esse espaço público por excelência – a rua – para a demonstração de força e expressividade em números de seus adeptos e como uma oportunidade sem par para a conquista de novos fiéis, utilizando-se mesmo do momento da realização do evento para declarar uma certa autoridade sobre os destinos da cidade. Falar em Marcha supõe a constituição de um exército que, tendo uma causa bastante precisa, decide por pôr-se em movimento. A ideia de Caminhada, porém, denota algo mais impreciso, frouxo, vago.
Farinha, banana e peixe assado: etnografia da pesca artesanal, cultura e religiosidade popular na vila de Manguinhos (ES), com base nas falas do pescador Antônio Bino.

Published: February 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é contribuir para a composição de uma etnografia cultural da pesca na vila de Manguinhos, localidade litorânea situada no município da Serra (ES). Associada a esta cultura pesqueira, analisaremos aspectos de uma religiosidade popular vinculada ao Congo, manifestação artística e religiosa característica da região. Vamos nos pautar pelo olhar de um de seus principais protagonistas para construir cenas desta “história pesqueira”: Antônio Bino, um famoso mestre de pesca da região, cujos depoimentos foram registrados em um estudo etnográfico realizado entre os anos de 1970 e 80, por uma das autoras do presente artigo. Em um segundo momento do texto, faremos uma breve análise da condição da vila de Manguinhos na contemporaneidade, quando os territórios do trabalho pesqueiro passam a ser relegados a segundo plano, em meio às intensas transformações urbanísticas e sociais trazidas pelo turismo de massa que se instala na região desde o fim da década de 1980.

Space curves defined by curvature-torsion relations and associated helices
Authors: Deshmukh Sharief , Alghanemi Azeb , Farouki Rida
Published: February 2020

The relationships between certain families of special curves, including the
general helices, slant helices, rectifying curves, Salkowski curves,
spherical curves, and centrodes, are analyzed. First, characterizations of
proper slant helices and Salkowski curves are developed, and it is shown
that, for any given proper slant helix with principal normal n, one may
associate a unique general helix whose binormal b coincides with n. It is
also shown that centrodes of Salkowski curves are proper slant helices.
Moreover, with each unit-speed non-helical Frenet curve in the Euclidean
space E3, one may associate a unique circular helix, and characterizations
of the slant helices, rectifying curves, Salkowski curves, and spherical
curves are presented in terms of their associated circular helices. Finally,
these families of special curves are studied in the context of general
polynomial/rational parameterizations, and it is observed that several of
them are intimately related to the families of polynomial/rational
Pythagorean-hodograph curves.

A quarter-symmetric metric connection on almost contact B-metric manifolds
Authors: Bulut Şenay
Published: February 2020

The aim of this paper is to study the notion of a quarter-symmetric metric
connection on an almost contact B-metric manifold (M,?,?,?,g). We
obtain the relation between the Levi-Civita connection and the
quarter-symmetric metric connection on (M,?,?,?,g).We investigate the
curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and scalar curvature tensor with respect to
the quarter-symmetric metric connection. In case the manifold (M,?,?,?,g) is a Sasaki-like almost contact B-metric manifold, we get some formulas.
Finally, we give some examples of a quarter-symmetric metric connection.
Proper semiconformal symmetries of spacetimes with divergence-free semiconformal curvature tensor
Authors: Ali Musavvir , Pundeer Naeem , Suh Young
Published: February 2020

In the present paper, the symmetries admitted by semiconformal curvature
tensor in semiconformally symmetric spacetime have been studied and we show
that a four-dimensional spacetime admitting a proper semiconformal symmetry
is semiconformally flat or of the Petrov type N. It is also shown that a
four-dimensional spacetime with divergence-free semiconformal curvature
tensor admitting a proper semiconformal symmetry is locally of the Petrov
type O or has four distinct principal null directions. In both the cases, we
found that if the spacetime admits an infinitesimal semiconformal Killing
vector field then the scalar curvature of the spacetime vanishes.

Classification of warped product pointwise semi-slant submanifolds in complex space forms
Authors: Ali Akram , Alkhaldi Ali , Lee Jae , Othman Wan
Published: February 2020

The main principle of this paper is to show that, a warped product pointwise
semi-slant submanifold of type Mn = Nn1 T xf Nn2? in a complex space form
?M2m (C) admitting shrinking or steady gradient Ricci soliton, whose
potential function is a well-define warped function, is an Einstein warped
product pointwise semi-slant submanifold under extrinsic restrictions on the
second fundamental form inequality attaining the equality in [4]. Moreover,
under some geometric assumption, the connected and compactness with nonempty
boundary are treated. In this case, we propose a necessary and sufficient
condition in terms of Dirichlet energy function which show that a connected,
compact warped product pointwise semi-slant submanifold of complex space
forms must be a Riemannian product. As more applications, for the first one,
we prove that Mn is a trivial compact warped product, when the warping
function exist the solution of PDE such as Euler-Lagrange equation. In the
second one, by imposing boundary conditions, we derive a necessary and
sufficient condition in terms of Ricci curvature, and prove that, a compact
warped product pointwise semi-slant submanifold Mn of a complex space form,
is either a CR warped product or just a usual Riemannian product manifold. We
also discuss some obstructions to these constructions in more details.
The quasi xgamma-geometric distribution with application in medicine
Authors: Sen Subhradev , Afify Ahmed , Al-Mofleh Hazem , Ahsanullah Mohammad
Published: February 2020

In this paper, a new probability distribution, which is synthesized based on
the quasi xgamma[26] and geometric distributions, is proposed and studied.
The proposed distribution so synthesized is basically a family of positively
skewed probability distributions and possesses increasing and decreasing
hazard rate properties depending on the values of the unknown parameters.
Different important distributional and survival and/or reliability properties
are also studied. A unique characterization of the distribution is presented
based on reversed hazard rate. Seven different frequentist methods of
estimating unknown parameters are proposed and the methods are justified
with Monte-Carlo simulation study. Flexible data generation algorithm eases
the utility of the proposed model in survival and/or reliability application
which is accomplished by real data analyses and by comparing with other
competitive life distributions.

Opposition to Nuclear Power as a Driver of Austrian State Policy
Authors: Zimakov A. V.
Published: February 2020

The article deals with the impact of opposition to nuclear power on Austria’s foreign and economic policy as well as the evolution of this political driver. Beyond rejecting the use of nuclear power domestically Austria conducts active anti-nuclear foreign policy primarily towards neighboring countries running NPPs, ultimately aiming at nuclear phase out of the whole EU. As a part of this anti-nuclear policy Austria refuses to procure electricity produced by NPPs in other countries. Moreover, the opposition to nuclear power determined the clean energy transition model for Austria. The country has reached a high level of renewables share in electricity production and strives for a non-carbon energy system by 2030. The article shows that Austria has made a long way to its anti-nuclear stance, driven by social movements. Its turning point was the referendum on the use of nuclear power held in 1978, when diverse activist groups managed to overcome the pro-nuclear government supported lobby. The anti-nuclear movement continued to exert influence on the political agenda of the federal government via local communities and states authorities. With the time, their efforts have led to common acceptance of the anti-nuclear stance as an important driver of the Austrian policy.
Development of the Digital Economy in the USA and China: Factors and Trends
Authors: Danilin I. V.
Published: February 2020

Complex research of the “digital economy” in the U.S.A. and China –undisputable leaders of the phenomena – appears to be an important research task. This article is focused on identifying its` key factors and developmental trends (also important for understanding global processes). Growing economic impact and dominance of the U.S.A. and China in the “digital economy”, especially on the Internet markets, is confirmed – with special attention to the extra-large platformic companies. Analyzing the history of the “digital economy” in both nations primacy of market success factors is stated – while stressing important role of technological specifics in shaping trends. For the U.S.A. the key drivers were meeting existing demand on the traditional markets with fundamentally new technological products, as well as formation of new markets to address existing latent demand. For China originally it was inability of the service sector to address growing internal demand, which supported strong growth of internet markets as a fast and cheap alternative (using localized western technologies and business models). Sizable market, governmental support, and later strong investments in technology and innovation determined China`s leadership in the digital economy– with overcoming the U.S.A. in some areas. In conclusion, it is noted that the importance of original digital economy drivers (U.S. technological superiority, China`s huge growing market, etc.) in both nations is expiring. This makes serious changes inevitable. The situation is complicated by growing challenges for the digital economy – from evolving regulatory framework to digitalization of the global economy.
Chinese Investment in Transport Infrastructure in the EU: a Stimulus for Development of Bilateral Trade?
Authors: Gemueva K. A.
Published: February 2020

Under the Belt and Road Initiative, particular importance is attached to transport networks development projects, including the creation of optimal transport routes and reorientation of existing supply chains based on the interests of China. This implies the active participation of Chinese companies in investing, financing and implementing projects in the field of transport infrastructure. The article examines the impact of Chinese investment in EU transport infrastructure facilities on the volume of freight traffic between China and the EU through these facilities. Most of the real Chinese investment are directed to the development of port facilities. European airports are also of great interest to Chinese investors, however, under the influence of many factors, only a few projects are successful. China is making significant efforts to establish direct rail links with EU countries. Nevertheless, the share of this type of transport is not yet comparable with freight turnover by sea and air, and future development is limited by a number of factors. Currently, COSCO’s investment in the Greek port of Piraeus is the only example of a significant increase in cargo turnover between China and the EU through an infrastructure under control, however, some ongoing projects could potentially repeat the success of COSCO in the near future. The author concludes that the approaches of the Chinese leadership to the transport infrastructure development are varied. Failures in the implementation of separate projects and the cautious attitude of Brussels towards Chinese investments do not stop China’s planned efforts focused on the long term perspective.
The Role of Electric Power Sector in China’s Global Economic Expansion
Authors: Epikhina R. A.
Published: February 2020

The article discusses some of the major characteristics and trends of China’s economic expansion in the global power industry. It argues that by investing in electricity infrastructure China creates prerequisites for long-term dominance in one of the key sectors in a number of countries and regions. Deals in the power sector are mainly implemented by state-owned companies and facilitated by state-owned financial institutions. In terms of structure and geography, foreign investment in the electricity sector is dominated by traditional types of generation in developing countries. However, China has been diversifying into renewables, nuclear power and grids and entering markets of the developed countries. The creation of a special international organization (GEIDCO) should facilitate its expansion in the electricity sector abroad. It is worth noting that foreign economic expansion plays an important role in supporting China’s slowing economy amid the transformation of its growth model. It allows China to adopt advanced technologies and best management practices in developed countries while forming alternative value chains, as well as promoting its own equipment and standards (especially in ultra-high voltage power transmission) in the developing countries. However, given the impact of the trade war, increasing securitization of the Chinese foreign investments, Chinese authorities’ control over capital outflows and the rising environmental concerns in developing countries, further expansion of the Chinese capital in the global electricity industry is likely to be held back, while competition from non-Chinese electricity companies is likely to grow.

Pendidikan merupakan kegiatan untuk membantu perkembangan peserta didik mencapai tujuan-tujuan pendidikan. Kegiatan pendidikan berintikan interaksi antara peserta didik dengan pendidik dan sumber-sumber pendidikan lain, dan berlangsung dalam suatu lingkungan pendidikan. Peningkatan kualitas pendidikan harus terus dilaksanakan salah satunya dengan penggunaan berbagai model pembelajaran. Salah satu model pembelajaran yang dapat dikembangkan untuk meningkatkan aktifitas dan hasil belajar adalah model Problem Based Learning (PBL). PBL merupakan pembelajaran dimana masalah yang menggendalikan pembelajaran, artinya pembelajaran dimulai dengan menyajikan masalah konstektual yang harus dipecahkan dan masalah dimunculkan sedemikian rupa sehingga siswa memperoleh pengetahuan baru sebelum mereka dapat memecahkan masalah. Jadi, siswa harus menginterpretasikan masalah, menggumpulkan informasi, mengevaluasi alternatif pemecahan masalah dan mempresentasikan solusinya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat peningkatan aktifitas dan hasil belajar siswa kelas XI MIA pada pelajaran biologi. Jenis penelitian yang dilakukan adalah penelitian Quasi Eksperimen. Kelas yang dijadikan sampel adalah kelas XI MIA 2 sebagai kelas Eksperimen dan kelas XI MIA 3 sebagai kelas kontrol. Penelitian dilakukan bulan agustus hingga desember 2016. Parameter yang diukur adalah hasil belajar dan aktifitas belajar siswa. Design eksperimen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berbentuk design factorial 2x2, dengan variable bebas model Problem Based Learning berbantukan LKS dan model pembelajaran konvensional. Sedangkan variable terikatnya adalah hasil belajar dan aktifitas belajar.Hasil menunjukkan bahwa hasil belajar siswa pada kelas eksperimen meningkat dari kd 1 ke KD kedua. Pada KD 1 kategori hasil belajar kategori tinggi, sedang dan rendah masing-masing 27,77%, 55,55 % dan 16,61 %. Dan pada KD ke 2 sebesar 22,22%, 69,44 % dan 8,33%. Sementara pada kelas control pada kd 1 kategori tinggi, sedang dan rendah adalah sebesar 19,44 %, 63,88% dan 16,61 %. Dan pada KD kedua sebesar 13,88%, 69,44% dan 16,66%.

Galileo, Plato and the Scientific Revolution
Authors: Matteoli Giorgio
Published: February 2020

This paper retraces the history of one of the founding thesis of modern historiography of science (the Galileo’s Platonism thesis), starting from its first appearance in the context of the Neo-Kantian school of Marburg up to its final assessment in the works of Koyré. Following these debates provides us with a privileged point of view to observe the emergence of the concept of scientific revolution, which appeared for the first times in the current usage in Koyré’s Galileo Studies.

FLOWERING CYCLE OF CHUSQUEA MOLLIS L.G. CLARK (MAGNIFOLIAE, CHUSQUEINAE, BAMBUSAE) IN THE VENEZUELAN ANDES
Authors: Ely Francisca
Published: February 2020

Flowering cycles are poorly understood in the majority of woody bamboos, since their frequency and duration may vary according their growth-form and distribution across latitude and altitude ranges. Tropical Andean bamboos are known for combining gregarious (asynchronic) and asynchronic flowering events; the main objective of this study was to determine the flowering pattern of Chusquea mollis Swallen) L.G. Clark (= Neurolepis mollis Swallen), a monocarpic, native bamboo that grows in the subparamos and paramos of Venezuela and Colombia. The chronology of flowering events of this species was based on the revision of herbarium specimens, online databases and the occurrence of flowering events in two populations of the Cordillera de Mérida, Venezuela. Taking in account that age diversity may also contribute to identify flowering patterns in bamboo populations, we performed a survey of a single population located in the Páramo La Aguada. Our results suggest that C. mollis combines gregarious and asynchronic flowering cycles, after a relatively short vegetative period (5-7 years). The census conducted in a single population of La Aguada revealed the co-existence of plantlets, juvenile plants, vegetative, reproductive and post-reproductive adults, of which the juvenile were the most numerous group.
The response of corporate investments in the US to oil price changes: the role of asymmetries
Authors: Maghyereh Aktham I. , Awartani Basel
Published: February 2020

This paper investigates the influence of oil on corporate investments in the US. The inference is taken from a large sample which contains data on 15,411 companies over the period that extended from 1984 to 2017. It adds to the literature by showing that non-oil corporate investments in the US respond asymmetrically to oil price changes. In particular, when the oil price increases, the capital spending of companies suffers by more than it benefits from the declines in the price of oil. These results are important in assessing the impact of energy price fluctuations on the long-term investment decisions of US companies.

A New Big Data Model Using Distributed Cluster-Based Resampling for Class-Imbalance Problem
Authors: Terzi Duygu Sinanc , Sagiroglu Seref
Published: February 2020

The class imbalance problem, one of the common data irregularities, causes the development of under-represented models. To resolve this issue, the present study proposes a new cluster-based MapReduce design, entitled Distributed Cluster-based Resampling for Imbalanced Big Data (DIBID). The design aims at modifying the existing dataset to increase the classification success. Within the study, DIBID has been implemented on public datasets under two strategies. The first strategy has been designed to present the success of the model on data sets with different imbalanced ratios. The second strategy has been designed to compare the success of the model with other imbalanced big data solutions in the literature. According to the results, DIBID outperformed other imbalanced big data solutions in the literature and increased area under the curve values between 10 % and 24 % through the case study.
Genetic Algorithm Based Feature Selection Technique for Electroencephalography Data
Authors: Ali Tariq , Nawaz Asif , Sadia Hafiza Ayesha
Published: February 2020

High dimensionality is a well-known problem that has a huge number of highlights in the data, yet none is helpful for a particular data mining task undertaking, for example, classification and grouping. Therefore, selection of features is used frequently to reduce the data set dimensionality. Feature selection is a multi-target errand, which diminishes dataset dimensionality, decreases the running time, and furthermore enhances the expected precision. In the study, our goal is to diminish the quantity of features of electroencephalography data for eye state classification and achieve the same or even better classification accuracy with the least number of features. We propose a genetic algorithm-based feature selection technique with the KNN classifier. The accuracy is improved with the selected feature subset using the proposed technique as compared to the full feature set. Results prove that the classification precision of the proposed strategy is enhanced by 3 % on average when contrasted with the accuracy without feature selection.
Results From Expert Survey on System Analysis Process Activities
Authors: Leimane Laima , Nikiforova Oksana
Published: February 2020

System analysis is a crucial and complex step in software engineering process, which affects the overall success of the project and quality of the project outcome. Even though Agile methods have become widely popular, these methods have no structure when it comes to requirements elicitation and specification, which can have impact on whether a project has favourable outcome. Nevertheless, regardless of the chosen approach by industry practitioners, it is important to identify, which activities are currently performed, and analyse the causes and possible issues, which are encountered. The paper presents results from expert survey on the importance of activities related to requirements elicitation, analysis and specification process and the use of tools to support this process. Delphi method, which is used to evaluate the responses, is described. Lists of activities are ranked according to importance and additional information on expert responses is given in the paper. The information can give an insight into the activities and tools that are used in the industry.
Romania’s Great Union and the Anti-Communist Discourse
Authors: Mireanu Manuel
Published: February 2020

This text re-constructs the evolution of anticommunist ideas and practices during the period of Romania’s ‘great union’, while it also sketches the international context that enabled this evolution. It is a genealogical discourse analysis that serves for a better understanding of Romania’s present political and social climate. The political, diplomatic and military process of crafting ‘Greater Romania’ between 1918 and 1919 rested fundamentally on the anticommunist discourse. This discourse functioned as a pretext for the armed interventions in the desired territories. It also helped to securitize and pacify these three territories. The Romanian army entered Bessarabia, Bukovina, and Transylvania with the goal of protecting the local population against Bolshevik disorders and ‘anarchy’. The anticommunist discourse evolved from the panic generated by retreating Russian soldiers and the ‘anarchy’ they created towards the fear of contagion with the revolutionary ‘psychosis’. The answer to the communist threat was invariably violent and militaristic in nature. The ideas and issues raised by the communists were never legitimized as a political project but as a crime and a pathology that could destroy society. In this context, what we now refer to as ‘the Great Union’ was largely the substitution of social and economic projects with the hegemonic narrative of anti-communism.
