THE PERSPECTIVES OF THE PUBLIC POLICIES AND PROGRAMS EVALUATION SYSTEM IN ROMANIA IN THE CONTEXT OF IMPLEMENTING THE NATIONAL RECOVERY AND RESILIENCE PLAN
Authors: TODERAȘ Nicolae
Published: December 2023

The implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Facility boosts the EU's power to transform Member States, especially in the field of public management. The conditioning of the Member States to link proposed investments in their plans in order to overcome the effects of the crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic, but also to boost the implementation of the Green Pact on structural reforms transforms this temporary instrument in the main driver for deepening European integration. In the case of Romania, one of the important results pursued as part of the reforms related to the public administration sector, correlated with those related to the reform of public finances, refers to the improvement of the planning system of public policies and programs in accordance with budgetary scheduling. In this context, it is expected that following the implementation of these structural reforms, the national system for public policies and programs evaluation will strengthen significantly. The article aims to discuss certain aspects related to the dynamics of the use of public policies and programs evaluations in various stakes specific to the public management sector. Thus, in the first part of the article, the dynamics of the institutionalization of the national system for public policies and programs evaluation is described and analysed. In the second part, the strengthening premises of the national evaluation system for public intervention are analysed as a result of the implementation of a package of structural reforms which are specific to strategic planning and public management.

Dangerous or in Danger?
Authors: Sivanesan Mathuri
Published: December 2023

Rebecca Hall’s 2021 adaptation of Nella Larsen's Passing, establishes themes of safety in a visual context,  examining the Black bodily experience in both white and Black spaces. Hall's use of greyscale lighting, diegetic & non-diegetic sounds, and, most importantly, omission, spotlights what it means to be Black in white space. In the same way Larsen’s story rejects the possibility of ever being safe as a Black person, regardless of whether one can pass as white or not, Hall's cinematic methodology reveals the character of Clare as both dangerous and yet always in danger. Controlling what the viewer is allowed to see, Hall presents a newfound method of storytelling that confronts Black violence in a manner that rejects the glorification of Black trauma, while also presenting the dangers Black persons face from merely existing in their body.
"The Invisible Woman" and "In the Rehab Waiting Room"
Authors: Herman Deborah Denise
Published: December 2023

I have been ruminating lately on the notion of “white space,” “writer’s block,” and selfhood following a traumatic brain injury that caused word-finding problems during the acute phase of my recovery. I have coined the term, “neuropoetics” to denote the attempt to describe in poetry and flash fiction the experience of “drawing a blank” or being silenced by a medical condition.

Attached you will find three poems for your consideration: “Memory Villanelle,” “The Invisible Woman,” and “In the Rehab Waiting Room.” I was inspired by Laurie Clements Lambeth’s statement regarding the use of formal structure in her poetry about her Multiple Sclerosis, the blurring of bodily boundaries: “I needed the cage of a villanelle—so restrictive, in that very few lines can truly further the poem along, and yet so obsessive a form—to house the poem” (171). I have tried the same technique to describe the connection between memory and identity. “The Invisible Woman” takes as much from the Marvel universe as H.G. Wells; in it, I use the figure of Sue Storm and her dubious gift of being ignored as representative of the experience of an “invisible disability,” or something neurological rather than physically identifiable. Finally, “In the Rehab Waiting Room” was accidentally inspired by Elizabeth Bishop’s famous poem, as per the epigraph. It was an early attempt to capture the feeling of being a “blank slate” or having that post-traumatic “blank stare” that avoids eye contact with others

Published: December 2023

Plants are naturally exposed to various environmental stresses that affect their growth and development. As a desert plant, Phoenix dactylifera (date palm) has developed strategies to protect itself from most abiotic stresses. However, projected climate changes and the interaction between the various abiotic stressors will have profound effects on date palm adaptation and production In the present study, the two date palm cultivars, Sultana and Zamli cultivars were exposed to elevated levels of CO2 and enhanced UVB radiation and non-enzymatic antioxidants (total phenols, α-tocopherol, reduced glutathione content) and antioxidant enzyme activities (polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase) activities were analysed. The results showed that the Sultana cultivar is tolerant to future climate conditions. However, more biotic stress and yield parameters are needed for the identification of biotic stress tolerant date palm cultivars.

Conclusión: El grado de concordancia entre ambos métodos fue moderado, el instrumento de Seguí identificó una mayor proporción de estudiantes universitarios con FVD.
Philosophy of J. Wahl as an independent phenomenon and as an interpretation of Hegel’s philosophy
Authors: Lunev-Korobskii O. A.
Published: December 2023

The article is aimed at comprehending the perception of J. Wahl’s philosophy in Russia. The central role is assigned to the notion of “unhappy consciousness” in Hegel’s “The Phenomenology of Spirit” and to the interpretation of this notion in J. Wahl’s philosophy. The analysis of Russian–language studies dealing with his philosophy allows to outline two primary strands of engagement with it: within the framework of “French Neo–Hegelianism”, and within the framework of existentialism. Th e need to renounce this established characteristic of his philosophy is shown. Two arguments are stated in favour of this, conceptual and substantial. As for the former, the restriction of J. Wahl’s philosophy to the two aforementioned frameworks narrows the real horizons of his research. For the latter, the “unhappy consciousness” in J. Wahl’s philosophy besides the tragic–religious interpretation of Hegel’s ideas also contains pluralistic criticism of Hegel’s “monism” as a part of J. Wahl’s own philosophical project of “metaphysical empiricism”. It is argued that treating the entire corpus of J. Wahl’s writings will allow for a more thorough insight into the history of 20th century French philosophy, in particular “French Neo–Hegelianism” and the Franco-German debates concerning phenomenology and existentialism.
The study of Aristotle in the Aristotelian Society in the 1970s as an indicator of the special historico-philosophical style of British Philosophy
Authors: Yuriev R. A.
Published: December 2023

The article aims to present the study of Aristotle’s teaching on consciousness and soul conducted by the well-known contemporary scholar of ancient philosophy, Jonathan Barnes, as an example of a certain historical-philosophical style that emerged within British analytic philosophy as a whole and within the Aristotelian Society in particular during 1970-1980s. It is shown that the development of the historical-philosophical style within the Aristotelian Society at this time continues the tradition of slow reception of ideas from continental philosophy, which was noted already in the early period of Society emergence and development. This is explained by certain theoretical isolation that had developed by this time in British philosophy, which had its imprint on historical-philosophical studies and is expressed in the application of conceptual analysis and the inclusion of its results into the modern philosophical context. Although Barnes considers Aristotle’s teaching on consciousness and soul through the prism of contemporary versions of physicalism and dualism, the question of what role the Aristotelian teaching plays for them remains unanswered. The author puts forward the thesis that in this case, J. Barnes’s analysis of the Aristotelian problem of consciousness and soul appears less productive than the previously developed approaches in scholasticism and phenomenology in the continental history of philosophy.
Historical science and the visual turn: features of perception
Authors: Korzh V. G.
Published: December 2023

The paper analyzes a complex of methodological problems associated with the visual turn in modern historical science, as well as the peculiarities of the perception of the historical past and the organization of history teaching in modern culture and in the system of historical education. The analysis evaluates the prospects of already existing approaches in philosophy in the development of problems of the visual. The ideas of Maurice Merleau-Ponty on the phenomenology of perception, with his emphasis on the “physical presence” of a body in the process of perception, are proposed as a significant source for the reflection on the visual. The involvement of visual elements in the historical narrative, as shown in the article, complicates the methodology and practice of source criticism, while at the same time allowing historical science to make its contribution to understanding the image as such.
Transformation of «Narrative» in Socio-Humanitarian Cognition
Authors: Barbashina E. V.
Published: December 2023

The article analyses the gradual development of the narrative and the change in its main features. Initially, the narrative was considered as an authentic reproduction of past experience that is meaningful for the narrator. Later, the definition and study of such attributes of the narrative as sequence, plot, the narrator’s value attitude, and time began. Contemporary research focuses on temporality, causality, the context of narrative formation, certainty (uncertainty) of narrative scenarios, and narrative control. There has been a shift away from viewing the narrative as a finished product towards understanding it as a process of meaning-making from the narrator’s present. Narrative formation is rooted in social or personally meaningful context.
On the reasons and strategies of deconstruction of the Soviet in the paraphrases of cultural signs
Authors: Lipitskaya V. M.
Published: December 2023

Deconstruction of the Soviet in paraphrases of precedent cultural signs is for the first time considered from a socio-philosophical position: the socio-cultural and socio-psychological reasons for this phenomenon are analyzed, and its influence on the reception of the Soviet theme by modern public consciousness is theorized. It has been established that the tendency of ironic paraphrasing of Soviet precedents is predetermined by the morphology of Soviet culture and by a number of factors associated with the properties of social psychology as well. The author points out that paraphrases are capable of creating an alternative thesaurus of Soviet culture and broadcasting specific values.

Published: December 2023

The article discusses the novelties of domestic legislation in the field of regulation of cross-border transfer of personal data. Differences in the notification and authorization procedures established depending on the presence / absence in the relevant state of an adequate level of protection of the rights of personal data subjects are analyzed. On the basis of a comparative legal study, the author comes to the conclusion that giving the Russian law on personal data an extraterritorial character corresponds to the latest trend that has developed in other legal orders (EU, USA, China).
La dispersión de la serie pictórica del Salón de Reinos y su fortuna museográfica durante los primeros años del Real Museo de Pinturas (1635-1838)
Authors: Gago Rodríguez Manuel
Published: December 2023

Este artículo trata de la dispersión del conjunto pictórico del Salón de Reinos desde su creación (1634-1635) hasta la apertura del actual Museo Nacional del Prado, prestando gran atención al período de la Guerra de la Independencia. Teniendo en cuenta que la capacidad simbólica de la serie dependía de la relación existente entre las obras y el espacio donde eran expuestas, también se ha abordado su fortuna museográfica hasta la llegada de José de Madrazo a la dirección de la institución en 1838. En este sentido, se ha considerado la valoración crítica de los artistas que participaron en la serie con relación al desarrollo de la historiografía artística española y su vínculo con el creciente nacionalismo del siglo XIX.
Una alegoría barroca: la Iglesia triunfante con la Herejía y un cautivo turco a sus pies, de Antonio Palomino a Dionís Vidal
Authors: Rega Castro Iván
Published: December 2023

Este artículo se ocupa de una particular representación de la victoria sobre el islam, alegorizada como imagen de la Iglesia católica con un esclavo turco a sus pies, en la iglesia de San Nicolás de Valencia. Las pinturas al fresco de la contrafachada, diseñadas por Antonio Palomino y ejecutadas por Dionís Vidal (1698-ca. 1700), incluyen tal imagen del triunfo de la Fe contra los turcos, de la que no existen ejemplos similares en el resto de la península ibérica. También se abordan diferentes hipótesis sobre su origen y sus eventuales referentes iconográficos a través de un estudio comparado con el arco triunfal de la Puerta del Sol para la entrada de María Luisa de Orleans en Madrid (1680).

Description of the subject. Considering the increasing price of animal feeds and synthetic fertilizers, agro-pastoral farmers of Western Africa, in Burkina Faso in particular, try to increase the use of Crops Co-Products (CCP: straw, tops, stalks) and Livestocks Co-Products (LCP: faeces) to feed animals and fertilize cultivated fields, however face challenges to do so. Objectives. Our objectives were to characterize the management and recycling practices of CCP and LCP at the farm level and to assess their contribution to the coverage of forage and manure needs. Method. Data collected by survey on 60 agro-pastoral farms in six villages in western Burkina Faso. On-farm management practices of CCP and LCP characterized by eight variables. Flows of CCP and LCP characterized at three levels: farm, crop and livestock units, and type of co-product management system. Results. Out of the ~21 tons of CCP available per farm, 23% are recycled as forage, and 77% are not or scarcely recovered by farms. Out of the ~24 tons of LCP available per farm, 40% are recovered for use as manure, 60% are scattered off-farm during grazing and mobility. Co-products recycling covers only 16% of farm needs in forage and manure. Conclusions. Co-products are poorly recycled, and their level of recovery depends on farm equipment, manpower and herd mobility. Facing this challenge, we are developing a farm-level co-products recycling/advisory tool to support farmers in the agroecological transition.

Authors: Yakovleva M. M. , Bagaeva N. Yu.
Published: December 2023

The article discusses the loan portfolio of the commercial bank Banca Intesa JSC for the period 2019-2021. According to rating agencies, the commercial bank of Banca Intesa JSC maintained a fairly strong position in the Russian financial market in 2022, which confirms its high reliability. According to the 2022Forbes rating, Banca Intesa JSC ranked 41st among reliable Russian banks. The results of the study of the commercial bank’s activities show that the bank introduced quite effective practices over the analyzed period, and the management of Banca Intesa JSC took timely measures to stabilize its work. In many ways, economic efficiency depends on how well the loan portfolio of a commercial bank is formed. The authors analyzed the loan portfolio of Banca Intesa JSC, identified the main factors at the expense of which sources its main formation was carried out; it was also revealed for what purposes legal entities with more attractive types of economic activities were credited. Timely assessment of the state of problem debt at the early stages of its manifestation helps a bank to take the necessary measures to minimize credit risks in time. The analysis of the problem debt of Banca Intesa JSC showed that the dynamics of this indicator decreases every year, which has a favorable effect on the financial condition of the bank’s activities.

As a promising novel immunotherapy modality, bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are actively being evaluated in clinical trials for patients with hematological malignancies. Teclistamab is a T-cell-directed IgG4λ BsAb that recognizes B-Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA) on target cells and CD3ε on T cells. As one of the promising BsAbs, teclistamab was granted orphan designations for the treatment of Multiple Myeloma (MM) in both the US and EU, the breakthrough-therapy designation for the treatment of relapsed/refractory (RRMM) by the FDA, and a Priority Medicines (PRIME) designation for the treatment of adult patients with MM who previously received ≥3 prior lines of therapy by the EMA. Recent evidence suggests that teclistamab exhibits promising efficacy and low toxicity for patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM), even at late stages. As a recently approved agent by both the FDA and the EU for adult patients with RRMM who previously received ≥3 prior lines of therapy, teclistamab is being investigated as monotherapy and in combination clinical studies in patients with MM. Here we provide an overview of the latest clinical data on teclistamab in MM presented at the 2023 European Hematology Association (EHA) annual meeting.

Elevated levels of pollutants, including heavy metals, resulting from human activities, have raised concerns regarding their adverse impacts on natural ecosystems. Among these, aquatic organisms, particularly non-target microalgae, bear substantial consequences from such contaminants. This study endeavored to evaluate the impact of the heavy metal lead (Pb) at concentrations of 2.5, 25, and 250 μg L−1 on the growth and lipid content of the diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana in a 14-day toxicity test conducted under controlled laboratory conditions. The findings indicate that lower Pb concentrations (2.5 and 25 μg L−1 ) fostered algal proliferation, whereas exposure to 250 μg L−1 resulted in complete inhibition in two distinct endpoints. Additionally, no significant fluctuations in algal lipid content were discernible between exposure to 2.5 and 25 μg Pb L−1 and the control group. This study stands as a pioneering effort in unveiling the toxicity of Pb on C. meneghiniana, shedding light on the species’ susceptibility to this heavy metal and underscoring the necessity of incorporating this species into ongoing ecological risk assessments of Pb.

Nambulite, (Li,Na)Mn4Si5O14(OH), and natronambulite, (Na,Li)(Mn,Ca)4Si5O14(OH), occur in many deposits of Manganese Belt (MnB) in Bistriţa Mountains, Eastern Carpathians, Romania. The nambulite and natronambulite form small bands which cut the old bands/lens of braunite-bixbyite-hausmannite ore. Nambulite has Li>Na and forms a series with natronambulite. The natronambulite has Na>Li and Mn>Ca. The X-ray analyses of MnB nambulite showed that it crystallizes in triclinic system, space group Pī(2). Its unit cell parameters are: a=7.5300 Å, b=11.7360 Å, c=6.7100 Å, Z=2, V=565.00 Å3, α=92.97°, β=95.23°, and γ=106.27°. The natronambulite has: a=7.6200 Å, b=11.7620 Å, c=6.7370 Å, Z=2, V=574.436 Å3, α=92.81°, β=94.55°, and γ= 106.87°. The cell parameters of natronambulite are very close to those of nambulite. The chemical compositions of nambulite and natronambulite of MnB deposits were determined by SEM and wet chemical analyses. Their Li2O and Na2O were determined by AAS and by wet chemical analyses. The wet chemical analyses of nambulite show variation for Li2O=1.05-1.34 wt.% and Na2O=1.28-0.72 wt.%. The natronambulite has Li2O< Na2O, and higher Na2O and CaO contents than nambulite. In natronambulite the Li2O content varies between 0.45-0.65 wt.% and that of Na2O between 1.10-5.96 wt.%. The main MnO compound for both minerals has variations between 38.20-46.01 wt.%, where Mn cations have minor substitutions with Mg, Ca, Ni and Zn. The mineral textural relations show that the oldest mineral of ore is braunite, closed associated with bixbyite/hausmannite. The braunite is cut/substituted by the new nambulite and natronambulite, which in their turn are substituted by leakeite and holmquistite, respectively. Both minerals are closely associated with aegirine and albite. A wide range of many minerals, some of them unusual and new for Romania, occur as veins through the nambulite/natronabulite associations: jacobsite-Q, namansilite, lithiomarsturite, serandite, hematophanite, fairfieldite, yoshimuraite, imandrite, and others. Also, many common minerals like magnetite, hematite, spessartine, albite, microcline, barium feldspars, barite, nickelian phlogopite/kinoshitalite, and others occur. The mineralogy, geochemistry, and tectonically setting of Mn deposits showed their hydrothermal submarine origin related to subduction processes. The source of Li was not from external supply.
Loss-of-function cancer-linked mutations in the EIF4G2 non-canonical translation initiation factor

Published: December 2023

Tumor cells often exploit the protein translation machinery, resulting in enhanced protein expression essential for tumor growth. Since canonical translation initiation is often suppressed because of cell stress in the tumor microenvironment, non-canonical translation initiation mechanisms become particularly important for shaping the tumor proteome. EIF4G2 is a non-canonical translation initiation factor that mediates internal ribosome entry site (IRES)- and uORF-dependent initiation mechanisms, which can be used to modulate protein expression in cancer. Here, we explored the contribution of EIF4G2 to cancer by screening the COSMIC database for EIF4G2 somatic mutations in cancer patients. Functional examination of missense mutations revealed deleterious effects on EIF4G2 protein–protein interactions and, importantly, on its ability to mediate non-canonical translation initiation. Specifically, one mutation, R178Q, led to reductions in protein expression and near-complete loss of function. Two other mutations within the MIF4G domain specifically affected EIF4G2’s ability to mediate IRES-dependent translation initiation but not that of target mRNAs with uORFs. These results shed light on both the structure–function of EIF4G2 and its potential tumor suppressor effects.
Valuation: modelo de precificação de empresas por meio do método de fluxo de caixa descontado
Authors: Dandolini Marques Marcos , Gonçalves Zilli Marlon , Lux Eduardo , Francisco Hendges dos Santos Rômulo
Published: December 2023

O método valuation caracteriza-se pela análise e precificação de empresas através de diferentes processos de avaliação, incluindo a análise setorial, apreciação com base no fluxo de caixa da empresa, inspeção por múltiplos, entre outros. O valuation pode ser aplicado tanto em empresas que possuem capital aberto, estando listadas em bolsas de valores, quanto em empresas de capital fechado, que apresentam limitações em função dos seus dados não serem públicos, o que torna o processo mais restrito. O presente estudo objetivou compilar e explanar os principais pontos do valuation, por meio do modelo de fluxo de caixa descontado, através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica explicativa, evidenciando as premissas e os conceitos que devem ser levados em consideração em uma precificação empresarial.

Background: Many countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) have developed packages of services for achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), however, policymakers, especially in resource-constrained countries, still face challenges in delivering equitable, efficient and sustainable health services. Aims: To provide guidance for EMR countries and develop packages of services for UHC. Methods: We used information gathered from narrative reviews, national experiences and expert consultations to develop step-by-step guidance for the development of national packages of services for the achievement of UHC by countries in the EMR. Results: The processes used to develop packages of services varied between EMR countries and these processes may not have involved all relevant stakeholders. We highlight in this paper the iterative processes, including several phases and steps, to be used by EMR countries for developing packages of services for UHC. These processes also make provision for continuous monitoring and revision to make necessary improvements as morbidity patterns evolve. Conclusion: Developing a package of services for the achievement of UHC is a significant milestone for EMR countries and it is central to shaping the healthcare system for effective delivery of services.

Baquaqua, protagonista da liberdade
Authors: Pimentel de Castro Isis , Ribeiro Junqueira Júlia
Published: December 2023

Este artigo se baseia nas reflexões acerca dos usos da única autobiografia de um escravizado africano que passou pelo Brasil, Mahommah Gardo Baquaqua, a partir das experiências de duas práticas vinculadas a um mesmo projeto de ensino intercampi, nomeado “Baquaqua ― protagonista da liberdade”, tendo como ponto norteador as análises vinculadas à reformulação do currículo de História do Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica de Minas Gerais entre os anos de 2019 e 2022. Logo, as iniciativas foram construídas no CEFET-MG, nos campi Nova Suíça, Nova Gameleira, Timóteo e Curvelo, sendo que as primeiras três experiências com a implementação do projeto aconteceram no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19, em 2021, interligando a autobiografia com o ensino remoto emergencial e as novas Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDIC). E, embora tenha tido como matriz norteadora o mesmo projeto de ensino, bem como o público-alvo ― estudantes da 2ª série dos cursos técnicos integrados da Educação Profissional Técnica de Nível Médio (EPTNM) ―, cada campus teve liberdade para adequar a execução do projeto à realidade local, incluindo as possibilidades de diálogo inter-/transdisciplinares e a construção de metodologias e objetivos específicos estabelecidos pelas equipes de professores participantes.

Published: December 2023

Introducción: Una condición sanitaria de gran impacto en la esperanza de vida en diferentes poblaciones y países ha sido la pandemia por el Covid-19. Objetivo: Calcular la esperanza de vida (EV) comparando 2019 con 2020 y analizar su relación con indicadores de marginación a nivel municipal para el estado de Coahuila en el contexto de la pandemia por Covid-19. Material y Método: La EV se calculó con información de mortalidad para 2019 y 2020 de la Secretaría de Salud y demográfica e indicadores de marginación del Consejo Nacional de Población. Se aplicó la prueba de Shapiro-Wilk a las variables bajo estudio y aquellas que tuvieron una distribución normal fueron analizadas con la prueba de hipótesis de varianza (ANOVA), seguida de la prueba pos-hoc de Bonferroni. Las variables que resultaron significativas en la prueba de ANOVA fueron sujetas a un análisis de regresión lineal múltiple para identificar predictores. Con las variables que no se distribuyeron normalmente se hicieron pruebas de Kruskal-Wallis y post-hoc de Games-Howell. Resultados: Las variables que resultaron ser estadísticamente significativas y que mostraron una direccionalidad positiva fueron el porcentaje de población mayor a 5 000 habitantes y el logaritmo natural del tamaño de la población de los municipios. Conclusión: De las variables analizadas el logaritmo natural del tamaño de la población fue el único predictor capaz de modelar la caída en años de la esperanza de vida.

Authors: Holbrook Debra
Published: December 2023

Since Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in 1994, millions of dollars have been expended to raise awareness and combat domestic violence to improve and increase provision of services to victims of violence including domestic, intimate partner, stalking, dating, and sexual assault.  VAWA aims to provide housing and shelter services, and improves the manner in which the justice system responds to crimes of domestic and associated violence. (Seghetti & Bjelopera, 2012).  Federal grants were created and administered by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Office for Violence Against Women (OVW) during the past 29 years and VAWA funding was reauthorized in 2022 to federal, state and tribal agencies.  This article reviews the history of the VAWA Act, tracks milestones in Federal funding, and recognizes forensic nursing benchmarks including the generalist approach.
