Published: December 2024

Anemia in pregnancy, defined by a hemoglobin level (Hb) of less than 110 g/L, contributes to infant mortality and morbidity in sub-Saharan Africa. Maternal Hb changes physiologically and pathologically during pregnancy. However, the impact of these changes on long-term child neurocognitive function is unknown. This study therefore investigates the association between Hb at specific antenatal care visits and prenatal Hb trajectories during pregnancy and long-term child neurocognitive function. We analyzed data from a prospective cohort study that included 6-year-old singleton children born to women enrolled before 29 weeks of gestation into an antimalarial drug clinical trial. Hemoglobin level was analyzed from venous blood collected at least twice during pregnancy and at delivery. We used group-based trajectory modeling to identify distinct prenatal Hb trajectories. In total, 478 children (75.1% of eligible children) had assessment of cognitive and motor functions at 6 years of age. Three distinct Hb trajectories were identified: persistently anemic (Hb <110 g/L throughout the second and third trimesters), anemic to nonanemic (Hb <110 g/L at second trimester with increasing Hb toward the third trimester to Hb ≥110 g/L), and persistently nonanemic (Hb ≥110 g/L throughout the second and third trimesters). Children of women in the persistently anemic and anemic-to-nonanemic groups had significantly lower neurocognitive scores than children of women in the persistently nonanemic group (β = −6.8, 95% CI: −11.7 to −1.8; and β = −6.3, 95% CI: −10.4 to −2.2, respectively). The study shows that maintaining an elevation of Hb at or above 110 g/L from the second to third trimester of pregnancy may be associated with optimal long-term child neurocognitive function.
“People don’t like to be conquered, and so they will not be”
Authors: Čerče Danica
Published: December 2024

The essay deals with the novel The Moon Is Down (1942) by American Nobel Prize winning writer John Steinbeck. Withing a year after its publication, the novel evolved into a play and movie. The appearance of this slim volume came as a shock to readers eagerly waiting another book on the same epic scale as its monumental predecessor, The Grapes of Wrath. During World War II, The Moon Is Down successfully served as a work of propaganda, as Steinbeck intended, raising morale in the European resistance movement. However, the work is not contingent upon time or place and deserves more critical attention. Reflecting delusions, traumas, and fears of a historical period, and the collective effort for survival, The Moon Is Down is also a study of today’s world in a state of conflict. By creating new awareness and conveying the idea about the unconquerable spirit of those reacting to the assault on freedom and democracy, it offers the assurance the people of Ukraine and Gaza, among others, want to hear.
Podstawy i tryb wprowadzania do obrotu środków odurzających, substancji psychotropowych i nowych substancji psychoaktywnych
Authors: Dunaj Piotr
Published: December 2024

Przedmiotem artykułu jest określenie podstaw prawnych i trybu wprowadzania do obrotu środków odurzających, substancji psychotropowych i nowych substancji psychoaktywnych. W tym celu zostały omówione przepisy ustawy z dnia 29 lipca 2005 r. o przeciwdziałaniu narkomanii w wersji obowiązującej od 2018 r., kiedy to została przeprowadzona nowelizacja, której celem było uporanie się z problemem nieograniczonego dostępu do tzw. dopalaczy. Dla wprowadzenia do obrotu środków odurzających i substancji psychotropowych wymagane jest uzyskanie zezwolenia Głównego Inspektora Farmaceutycznego, zaś w przypadku nowych substancji psychoaktywnych – Prezesa Biura do spraw Substancji Chemicznych. W ten sposób ustawodawca ograniczył swobodę działalności gospodarczej, kierując się potrzebą ochrony życia i zdrowia ludzkiego. Istotne znaczenie ma również ustalenie katalogu substancji podlegających reglamentacji prawnej w drodze rozporządzenia, czyli aktu prawnego o charakterze podustawowym. Dzięki temu możliwe jest szybkie ograniczenie dostępu do produktów uznanych za niebezpieczne.
Prawa małżonka zobowiązanego w administracyjnym postępowaniu egzekucyjnym
Authors: Nodżak Agata
Published: December 2024

Przepisy prawa powszechnie obowiązującego mogą przewidywać prowadzenie administracyjnego postępowania egzekucyjnego wobec zobowiązanego będącego osobą fizyczną nie tylko z jego majątku osobistego, ale również z majątku wspólnego należącego do niego i jego małżonka. Takie regulacje prawne pokazują, że wprawdzie małżonek zobowiązanego nie jest formalnie osobą odpowiedzialną za wykonanie jego obowiązku, jednak w przypadku skierowania egzekucji administracyjnej do składników majątku wspólnego w praktyce będzie ponosił odpowiedzialność za nieswoje zobowiązania. To może być niebezpieczne dla tego małżonka, który nie jest formalnie odpowiedzialny za wykonanie obowiązku, nie był stroną postępowania, w ramach którego taki obowiązek był nakładany, a jego interes prawny może zostać naruszony na skutek utraty majątku wspólnego należącego do niego i zobowiązanego. Polski ustawodawca od 2019 r. sukcesywnie wprowadza regulacje prawne mające na celu ochronę prawa małżonka zobowiązanego – począwszy od prawa do informacji, poprzez sprzeciw, aż po możliwość korzystania z niektórych praw zobowiązanego. Ochrona ta jest w pełni uzasadniona, jednak niedoskonałość regulacji prawnych powoduje, że korzystanie z tej ochrony budzi wiele wątpliwości w praktyce.
Migration Crisis in the European Union: Origins, Consequences... and Directions of Change in Asylum Law
Authors: Balza Bogusław
Published: December 2024

The European Union (EU) has faced a significant migration crisis over the past decade, driven by conflicts, economic disparities, and environmental changes. This paper examines the origins of the migration crisis, its consequences for the EU, and the subsequent changes in asylum law. By analyzing policy responses and their effectiveness, the paper aims to provide insights into the future directions of asylum law in the EU. The migration crisis in the European Union has been one of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century. This crisis, which peaked in 2015, has seen millions of people seeking refuge in Europe due to wars, persecution, and poverty in their home countries. The influx has strained the EU’s asylum systems, exposed weaknesses in its migration policies, and sparked political and social tensions across member states. This paper aims to analyze the origins of this crisis, its multifaceted consequences and the evolving legal framework for asylum within the EU.

FROM GEOMORPHONYMS TO OIKONYMS: AN INSIGHT INTO OICONYMY OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Authors:   Filozofski fakultet Tuzla, ŠABIĆ Indira
Published: December 2024

Local names have been used for centuries to name land, plots or sites
and soils in the Bosnia and Herzegovina. Most of these names can still be
found on old topographic maps. Among them, the most frequent names are
motivated by the morphology of the soil. For that reason geomorphological
terminology in the onomastic of Bosnia and Herzegovina exists continuously
since middle ages until today. They are often based on a geographical term,
which is a feature of the oldest feature of Slavic toponymy. Original words,
modified or just as leftovers dominate in toponymy, especially in oikonyms.
In ojkonyms, the soil configuration is most often recognized, followed by the
hydronymic appellative, soil composition and toponymic metaphors. This paper
is a contribution to documenting ojkonim and the traditional geomorphological
nomenclature of the Bosnian language. The analysis of this treasure of
the Bosnian language revealed many forgotten words used to describe natural
phenomena and the relationship of people with nature. These oiconyms reflect
the characteristics of spatial objects that were important for local people and
sometimes remain the only source of information about these characteristics
after the named objects ceased to exist. Consequently, oikonyms reflect the
development of the history and language of peoples.
Key words: geomorphonyms, capitonym, oikonyms, onomastics, toponyms
SORABIC HERITAGE OF PROF. KOSTANTYN TROFIMOVIČ (TO THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY FROM BIRTH)
Authors:   Sveučilište Ivana Franka u Lavovu, VASILJEVA Ljudmila
Published: December 2024

The article deals with the creative works of Kostantyn Trofimovič. Jud-ging from the works published after the death of the Sorabic scholar, the aut-hor of the article has analysed the main directives of the scholar’s research of the High-Sorabic language. K. Trofimovič's linguistic interests in Sorabistic topics are related to advanced morphology, problems of graphics and spelling, issues of shaping morphological and orthographic norms, codification of tho-se norms in grammars. The researcher considers the above problem in the context of similar processes in other languages: Czech, Slovak, Polish. K. K. Trofimovič was inclined to such an understanding of norms and codification, when their character is determined primarily by the nearest system. Such a norm usually has a wide range of variation, which in the literary language is limited to intrastructural variation. Osnovica uzusa in relation to the norm in this case is significant. Regarding the norm, the scientist claims that the norm of the literary language and its codification are always characterized by subje-ctivism, because it is carried out in a narrow circle of experts, and in Luzica the subjective factor played a much greater role. The study of the formation of the literary norm in Upper Lusatia and the conclusion of K. K. Trofimovič's doctoral dissertation provide interesting comparative material in the context of similar processes in other West Slavic languages in order to identify com-mon and specific features in them, and encourage scientists to further scienti-fic achievements.Key words: High-Sorabic (hornjoserbšćina) language, history of the language, norm, codification, objectivity, subjective norms
STUDENTS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS SPEECH FLUENCY IN L1 AND L2
Authors:   Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Split, MATEA KOVAČ Mirjana , SARIĆ Ana
Published: December 2024

The aim of this paper was to examine students' attitudes towards the knowledge of concepts related to speech fluency in general and the teaching practice regarding Croatian (L1), as well as English and Italian (L2). Two groups of respondents participated in this research – 47 students of Croatian studies and Phonetics, and 59 students of English and Italian studies from two universities in Croatia. Students of Croatian studies and Phonetics agreed with claims referring to the familiarity with the concept of speech fluency and the phenomenon of filled pauses and hesitations. They showed a significantly higher degree of agreement with statements related to theoretical knowledge regarding speech fluency, compared to students of English and Italian studies, which could be explained by a greater number of courses dealing with speech fluency development. Also, in foreign language teaching, fluency is commonly understood as linguistic competence or good command of a foreign language, thus, less courses aim at the development of fluency in the narrow sense. A quali-tative analysis of the considered claims leads to the conclusion that it would be desirable to introduce more courses in the study programs of English and Italian studies, aiming at improving speech fluency in the narrow sense. Also, regardless of the larger number of courses in the study programs of Croatian studies and Phonetics, students pointed out that greater emphasis should be placed on additional activities aimed at developing fluent speech. Key words: fluent speech, silent pauses, filled pause, hesitation phenomena
THE SUMATRAN EXPERIENCE OF THE WORLD IN "LYRICS OF ITHACA" BY MILOŠ CRNJANSKI
Authors:   Gimnazija ,,Stojan Cerović“ – Nikšić, DELIBAŠIĆ Vojka
Published: December 2024

In this paper, we test the hypothesis that Sumatraism of M. Crnjanski is a poetic principle that, to a greater or lesser extent, summarizes his entire bibliography. Sumatraism is classified as a part of expressionism, which is only one of the directions of a diverse and varied avant-garde, and all of which have a common goal - to reexamine and reevaluate what came before them. The First World War and his direct participation in it enabled Crnjanski to change the perspective of looking at himself and the world around him and to point with his poetic talent to the global upheaval that occurred as a result of the war, so his prose and poetry must be read and interpreted by crossing the external and internal access. Through the examples of "Sumatra", and then several poems from the collection "Lyrics of Ithaca", we tried to show the general places of Sumatraism, its cosmopolitan character, while drawing attention to thematic and formal novelties, but also what Sumatraism is in its essence. – humanism and pacifism.
Key words: Sumatranism, "Sumatra", "Lyrics of Ithaca", cosmopolitanism, free style

VALTAZAR BOGIŠIĆ AS A RESEARCHER OF ORAL LITERATURE FROM BOKA KOTORSKA
Authors:   Fakultet za crnogorski jezik i književnost – Cetinje, RADOMAN Aleksandar
Published: December 2024

In this paper, the author reflects on Valtazar Bogišić’s research into oral literature heritage of Boka Kotorska, first and foremost on his book Narodne pjesme iz starijih najviše primorskih zapisa, in which Bogišić provides a comprehensive comment on bugarštice poetry. For decades, Bogišić has encouraged the search for oral literature manuscripts from Boka Kotorska, publishing the first comments on those manuscripts and collecting their original versions or transcripts with the intention of publishing them. Along with an abundance of manuscripts, partially published correspondence with Bogišić’s key associate in this endeavour – Perast’s priest Srećko Vulović is kept in Baltazar Bogišić’s Museum in Cavtat today, presenting a very valuable source for studying the oldest preserved layer of South-Slavic oral literature heritage.

Published: December 2024

Este estudio tiene como objetivo diagnosticar los factores de riesgo ergonómico que afectan a los docentes de áreas técnicas de la Unidad Educativa "Técnico Salesiano". Se plantean como objetivos específicos analizar el estado del arte, identificar factores ergonómicos en los espacios de trabajo, evaluar la percepción de los docentes sobre estos riesgos y proponer recomendaciones para mejorar las condiciones laborales. Investigaciones previas, como las de Peralta et al. (2023) y Aguilar (2021), evidencian falta de conocimiento en ergonomía y problemas derivados de posturas inadecuadas y uso prolongado de dispositivos. La metodología es descriptiva, explorativa y cuantitativa, con una encuesta basada en la norma ISO TR 12295 y una escala Likert, aplicada a docentes de las áreas técnicas de la institución. Los resultados obtenidos mediante análisis estadístico identifican niveles de riesgo ergonómico: áreas como Electromecánica Automotriz, Mecanizado y Construcciones Metálicas presentan un riesgo medio (Nivel 3), mientras que Mecatrónica y Ciencias Experimentales tienen un riesgo bajo (Nivel 2). Este diagnóstico destaca los factores ergonómicos clave y los niveles de riesgo asociados, sugiriendo la necesidad de intervenciones para reducir la exposición a estos riesgos.

ORGANIZOVANI PRIVREDNI DOGAĐAJI – PRIMER PRODAJE NEKRETNINA
Authors:   JKP „Tržnica“ Novi Sad, Srbija, Prdić Nedeljko
Published: December 2024

Organised economic events are activities designed to achieve
specific goals in certain economic branches. The management of an
economic event implies the process of planning, execution and
control of the achievement of goals that were designed by organising
the event itself. The main component of the organisation is meeting
the supply and demand of real estate in the territory of the city of
Novi Sad. The theoretical assumptions in the paper start from the
point of view that the distance from the city centre is the basis that
affects the price of real estate. Also, each individual offer of real
estate by the participants of the sales event assumes the theoretical
assumption of the offer, sale and marketing of individual
participants and the marketing of the event itself. The analysed
econometric model confirms theoretical predictions about the
negative influence of spatial distance from the city centre on the
price of real estate. Empirical research was conducted on a sample
of thirty investors who sell independently in the city, through an
online survey. The results are significant if we know that most of the
knowledge so far in sales and practice has calculated prices by city
districts. The research has a special importance, which is based on
the practical knowledge of empirical research in the context of the
mass assessment of real estate for the needs of investors, buyers and
government authorities that calculate the basis for real estate tax.
Reflexões sobre a Tributação dos Dividendos
Authors: Oyamada Bruno Akio
Published: December 2024

Ao longo dos últimos anos, tem ganhado especial destaque no Brasil as discussões envolvendo uma reformulação da tributação da renda auferida pelas pessoas jurídicas brasileiras, com foco em um possível retorno da tributação dos dividendos. Desse modo, no presente artigo, são analisadas, em um primeiro momento, questões relacionadas à isenção dos dividendos, prevista atualmente na legislação brasileira como forma de integração da tributação do lucro nos níveis dos sócios e das companhias, e, em um segundo momento, questões relevantes para o desenvolvimento de um modelo de tributação no qual o IR passa a incidir sobre os dividendos.
Equiparação à Controladora na Tributação dos Lucros do Exterior
Authors: Galdino Guilherme
Published: December 2024

Admitida a validade da premissa adotada pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal de que há disponibilidade jurídica em casos de controle societário, o presente artigo tem por objeto analisar, sob a perspectiva jurídico-dogmática, duas questões. A primeira é se a regra de equiparação à controladora, ao tratar uma coligação como controle (a partir de participações de partes vinculadas das pessoas jurídicas domiciliadas no País), estaria em consonância com a decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal, tendo em vista que esta afirmou a inconstitucionalidade da tributação dos lucros de coligadas em regime normal. Já a segunda é se as participações das pessoas vinculadas tomadas em conta para fins dessa equiparação se estenderiam para fins da própria apuração do tributo. Concluir-se-á afirmativamente sobre a primeira pergunta, essencialmente porque a finalidade da regra de equiparação é impedir que se contorne a tributação automática dos lucros no exterior mediante a consideração da participação societária de pessoas vinculadas à pessoa jurídica domiciliada no Brasil, corroborando a ênfase no poder de controle realizada pela Corte. Por sua vez, concluir-se-á negativamente sobre a segunda questão, pois a ficção contida na regra de equiparação à controladora tem o mero fim de estender um regime jurídico a uma situação à qual aquele regime não seria imediatamente aplicável, sem, porém, conduzir a uma atribuição da participação para fins de imposição da carga tributária. Do contrário, admitir-se-ia uma tributação tendente ao confisco.
Modulação de Efeitos em Matéria Tributária no STF à Luz da Jurisprudência do Tribunal Pleno
Authors: Halembeck de Arruda Pedro
Published: December 2024

Este artigo busca analisar a aplicação do instituto da modulação de efeitos em matéria tributária pelo Tribunal Pleno do Supremo Tribunal Federal. Ao longo do trabalho, procurou-se analisar criticamente os julgamentos da Suprema Corte para identificar os critérios utilizados pelos Ministros para determinar a modulação de efeitos. Também se buscou verificar a existência de consistência na aplicação dos critérios firmados entre os diversos precedentes, ou seja, se diante de casos similares há a adoção das mesmas soluções. Com isso, foi possível analisar como se deu a utilização desse instituto pela Suprema Corte, como sendo uma regra ou exceção diante de certas situações. Por fim, realizou-se uma análise crítica da aplicação do instituto da modulação de efeitos para identificar eventuais influências consequencialistas na sua utilização, especialmente diante do cenário da pandemia de covid-19.
Má rotação intestinal em adulto: relato de caso e revisão da literatura
Authors: Muzilli Daniel Salerno , Sant’Anna Carolina Vascocellos , Godinho Stella Custódio , Paixão Filho Adriano Silvério da , Silveira Eduardo Bueno , Salgado Caio Trajano Siqueira , Silva Ana Caroline Cardoso da
Published: December 2024

Apresentação do caso: Paciente feminina, 27 anos de idade, hígida, com 3 cesarianas prévias, dá entrada ao serviço de emergência, queixando-se de dor abdominal com inicio há 1 dia, em cólica, associada a hiporexia, vômitos, distensão abdominal e parada de eliminação de flatos. Ao exame físico, abdome pouco distendido, doloroso a palpação difusa, sem sinais de peritonite. Durante investigação diagnóstica, exames laboratoriais mostraram leucocitose de 22080 (94,8% de segmentados e 0% de bastões) – (valor de referencia de 4.000 a 10x10³/mm³), Proteína C Reativa 4 (valor de referencia 0,5mg/dL), função renal preservada. Realizada Tomografia Computadorizada de abdômen total, onde visualizou-se sinais sugestivos de enovelamento de alças e estruturas mesenteriais e sinais de rotação vascular. Indicada laparotomia exploradora, evidenciado no intra-operatório achados compatíveis com má rotação intestinal, com medianização do ângulo de Treitz com alças de intestino delgado a direita, e cólon a esquerda. Foi desfeita a rotação e realizada apendicectomia. Paciente segue com boa evolução em enfermaria e recebe alta no 4⁰ dia pós-operatório. Discussão: A manifestação dos sintomas ocorre principalmente no período neonatal ou infância, no entanto, pode-se apresentar na fase adulta, sendo o intervalo de idade mais prevalente dos 25-40 anos. A apresentação clinica ocorre na forma crônica com dor abdominal difusa, associado a intolerância alimentar, náuseas e vômitos e perda de peso. Já na forma aguda, com sintomas de obstrução intestinal, como dor abdominal em cólica, vômitos, distensão abdominal. Segunda Neville et al (2020), o exame de imagem mais útil para auxilio no diagnostico é a tomografia computadorizada que evidencia anormalidade na relação da veia e artéria mesentérica superior e rotação de estruturas mesenteriais. O tratamento cirúrgico padrão atual é o Procedimento de Ladd. Considerações finais: A má rotação intestinal é uma enfermidade rara, principalmente nos adultos, mas que vem aumentando sua incidência com o avanço da disponibilidade de tomografia computadorizada. Deve ser levada em consideração como diagnostico diferencial nos casos de dor abdominal crônica associada intolerância alimentares e nas obstruções intestinais. Nos casos sintomáticos, o procedimento de Ladd está indiciado com boa resolução dos sintomas. Ainda não há consenso sobre o real beneficio do tratamento cirúrgico em pacientes assintomáticos, com intuito de prevenir complicações futuras.
"FAR TOO HEAVY TO BEAR...": THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IN CONTEMPORARY GERMAN-LANGUAGE POST-MIGRANT PROSE
Authors: Hofmann Tessa
Published: December 2024

The experience of genocide usually locks the mouths of the victims' descendants for two generations. It is usually communicated in the third or grandchildren's generation. The literary expression of this externalization is a prose that oscillates between fiction and factography, which emerged already decades ago in the large Armenian diaspora communities of the USA and France and is now very widespread. Peter Balakian's Black Dogs of Fate and Micheline Aharonian Marcom's genocide trilogy are probably the most internationally known examples.
In Germany, the evolution was considerably delayed. There is no quantitatively large Armenian diaspora here. The community of around 60,000 people is also heterogeneous in terms of their countries of origin. Most of them originally came from Turkey; in the meantime, numerous Armenians from the post-Soviet space have joined them.
The Young Turks’ genocide of 1915/6 was first addressed in German by authors of Jewish origin, namely Franz Werfel and, after WW2, Edgar Hilsenrath. Since 2019, four novels by authors of Armenian descent have been published: Katerina Poladjan’s Hier sind Löwen (2019), Laura Cwiertnia’s Auf der Straße heißen wir anders (2022), Marc Sinan’s Gleißendes Licht (2023) and Corinna Kulenkamp’'s Aprikosenzeit, dunkel (2023). With the exception of K. Poladjan’s novel, these are all debut novels, which is at the same time indicative of the importance of the topic for the authors.
The genre hybridity of these works, which combine the features of family, coming-to-age and travel novels, is likewise characteristic. As a subgenre of German-language post-migrant prose, these novels are about the authors' or their protagonists' confrontation with their hybrid descent from Armenian-German or Turkish-Armenian homes, about identity and belonging, as well as the confrontation with the post-Soviet state of Armenia, which remains alien and incomprehensible to the authors or their protagonists, just as the acceptance of the genocide as an obligation to remember and a legacy seems difficult to bear.
In this article, dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the heroic novel The Forty Days of Musa Dagh, I intend to describe the peculiarities and weaknesses of the recent post-genocidal remembrance prose in the German language on the basis of the four novels mentioned above.
THE LINGUISTIC MANIFESTATIONS OF GENDERLECT IN“EMILY IN PARIS” TV SERIES
Authors: Harutyunyan Kristine , Sargsyan Anna
Published: December 2024

Sociolinguists study genderlect to better understand how gender and language intersect and to challenge stereotypes and assumptions about gendered communication. Genderlect refers to the idea that men and women, on average, tend to have distinct communication styles and tendencies. The aim of the present article is to study the genderlect in one of the most famous TV series from the sociolinguistic point of view. Within the frames of the article we attempt to illustrate the linguistic differences between men and women, to highlight various conversational behaviors and to detect the reasons of this gender-based diversity. The factual data of the research was taken from the scripts of the TV series, conditioned by the fact that the gendered language is best illustrated in everyday speech. The main findings of the article are the manifestation and clarification of linguistic differences of genderlect in the TV series.
FRANZ WERFEL’S "THE FORTY DAYS OF MUSA DAGH", A PERPETUALLY PRESENT PRODUCTION RATHER THAN A PRODUCT
Authors: Peroomian Rubina
Published: December 2024

The article is a tribute to the 90th anniversary of Franz Werfel’s renowned novel The Forty Days of Musa Dagh.
Borrowing Roland Barthes’ approach to texts – regarding their function and effects – and his explanation of writerly texts (scriptible), I see The Forty Days of Musa Dagh as one such text that, according to Barthes, is not a product but a production perpetually present, continuing to force the reader to participate, ponder and find a meaning or meanings, an entrance, among the plurality of entrances, an opening into the text. Ninety years after the publication of Franz Werfel’s literary masterpiece, there are still discussions ongoing and new insights being added.
In my presentation, I will open my own way into the metamorphic perception of this timeless artistic creation by Diasporan Armenians and the world and focus on its function as the embodiment of the Armenian spirit of resistance to injustice, as a tool against the Turkish denial of the Armenian Genocide – the Turkish hysteria against this novel and repression of European governments to denounce it is further proof of its power – its effect on the self-realization and reawakening of the generations of Armenians on the verge of assimilation.
I have often spoken and written about the impact of genocide literature on the understanding of the scope of the calamity and the universal truth that lies at the roots of factual writings and documents. The Forty Days of Musa Dagh is the most expressive voice in the history of the Armenian Genocide, an unequivocal representation of the horrifying reality, the prototype of the crime against humanity, ultimately playing a major role in influencing and inspiring Rafael Lemkin to devise the word “genocide”.
I will point to why and how about 312 passages totalling 1062 lines, that is 11% of the original was omitted in the first English translation and reinstated in the new, 2012 version. The ensuing enthusiastic salutation of this new publication is representative of Diasporan Armenians’ continuing devotion to the book and the author.
The RETURN OF THE MOTHER-FIGURE IN CARSON MCCULLERS’ "THE BALLAD OF THE SAD CAFÉ"
Authors: Mahdavi Nejhad Mohammad Hossein , Alizadeh Ghiasuddin , Amani Omid
Published: December 2024

Carson McCullers’ The Ballad of the Sad Café is a mysterious novella depicting the clash between masculinity and femininity and their strife for dominance in a southern patriarchal society. In the midst of this quarrel, the arrival of the effeminate Cousin Lymon to the town marks the emergence of a new atmosphere. Since the Ballad is similar to many American literary works which delineate the father-figure as either absent or weak, and with reference to Gilles Deleuze’s vitalist-inspired philosophy, this article aims to argue that the arrival of Lymon to the town is reminiscent of the return of the mother-figure, which entails creativity and birth. With Lymon’s becoming-woman, an immense change pervades the town and Miss Amelia’s café; however, as the society of brothers is always under the threat of the return on the part of the father figure, with Marvin Macy’s return from the penitentiary, a block of becoming barricades any further flourish of brotherhood, and sanguinity gives its place to annihilation. Here, once the banner of becoming-woman, Lymon grabs this opportunity to conspire with the father-figure in order to break the fixity of the café and guarantee his nomadic flow.
ENGLISH CHESS TERMINOLOGY: A FIELD APPROACH
Authors: Zhuravleva Irina
Published: December 2024

The research is devoted to the study of special vocabulary used in English chess terminology. It analyzes the lexical and semantic aspects, develops criteria for the functional and stylistic differentiation of special units of chess terms, and identifies the appropriate links between special units.
Using the field principle allows the distribution of chess terms to the core, near, far, and extreme peripheries. Chess terms are designed in the form of a ring diagram. The novelty of the research lies in the proposed scheme of systematization of special lexical units of the subject area and the construction of the lexico-semantic field ‘Chess game’ in the English language. The materials for the analysis were taken from modern English, American and German chess sources: British Chess Magazine, Chess Life Magazine, Rochade Europa, Schach Magazin 64 as well as chess dictionaries. The number of analyzed chess terms is about seven thousand, which is 45% of the total number of titles. The author concludes that different types of units in chess terminology are heterogeneous. Chess terms have many characteristics, ranging from highly specialized terms to slang expressions and nicknames.

Published: December 2024

Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo promover uma reflexão sobre o corpo da mulher no discurso médico e compreender a violência obstétrica a partir do sistema conceitual de Michel Foucault, especialmente nas suas obras Vigiar e Punir e Microfísica do Poder. Para isso, essa pesquisa parte da seguinte pergunta de pesquisa: Quais são os impactos da violência obstétrica na saúde mental da mulher, considerando o contexto social, cultural e institucional que legitima práticas de subordinação e medicalização do corpo feminino? Para responde-la, essa pesquisa foi realizada a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica e de pesquisa de dados recentes sobre a violência obstétrica no Brasil.  Assim, temos como objetivo geral analisar, por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica, os impactos da violência obstétrica na saúde mental da mulher, relacionando-os com as dinâmicas de poder e controle exercidas pelas instituições médico-hospitalares. Ainda, definimos dois objetivos específicos, que são identificar, na literatura científica, como o biopoder e os regimes de verdade presentes no discurso médico contribuem para práticas de violência obstétrica e seus reflexos na subjetividade feminina e discutir os desdobramentos psicológicos da desconexão da mulher com seu corpo durante a gestação e o parto, promovida pela medicalização e patologização do processo, conforme relatado em estudos revisados. Ao final, mostraremos que a violência obstétrica é institucionalizada no Brasil e legitimada por um regime de verdade que confere monopólio ao discurso médico sobre o corpo da mulher grávida, retirando-lhe a dignidade e trazendo sofrimento psíquico quando esta não é mais capaz de tomar decisões sobre seu corpo.

Sports talent detection is an attempt to find children who have the potential to become athletes but are not currently involved in sports through a series of tests. The aim of this research is to determine the characteristics of the distribution of children's sports talents in Payakumbuh City, West Sumatra Province. From this research, information was obtained on the anthropometric profile, physical abilities and movement coordination of each child. Apart from that, it was found that there were differences in the movement coordination abilities of children who had not and had participated in sports (training in clubs) after sports talent detection was carried out. This research involved 750 children (486 boys, 264 girls) aged 7-12 years in Payakumbuh City, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The talent detection instrument used in this research is the Sekora TID which was adopted from the SportKompas test battery. To see the impact of implementing talent detection, researchers conducted a survey using a Google form which was distributed to all test participants. Surveys were conducted to monitor children who had participated in sports as confirmed by teachers and parents. The results of the study provide information that there is no significant difference in the anthropometry of men and women (p>0.05), but a significant difference is seen in age (p<0.05). Significant differences were also found in motor coordination elements based on age and gender (p<0.05). Physical performance elements also show significant differences in age and gender (p<0.05). The results of this research will be used as a first step in implementing a sports talent identification system as part of LTAD.

Sustentabilidade financeira de incubadoras de base tecnológica: um estudo no âmbito amazonense
Authors:   , Neves Marcus Vinicius Viana
Published: December 2024

Pesquisas recentes sobre incubadoras destacam uma preocupação constante em responder à questão: “como as incubadoras podem alcançar a sustentabilidade financeira de longo prazo sob a perspectiva operacional?”. Este estudo reforça essa análise, mas foca na sustentabilidade financeira das incubadoras no Estado do Amazonas por ser uma região marcada por desafios logísticos e econômicos específicos. A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa e com abordagem interpretativista, utiliza um estudo de casos múltiplos, investigando oito incubadoras amazonenses por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, observação não participante e análise documental. A análise dos dados revela as estratégias de gestão de recursos, diversificação de receitas e o papel fundamental das parcerias estratégicas na sustentabilidade financeira das incubadoras. Este estudo contribui para a literatura sobre sustentabilidade financeira de incubadoras e oferece recomendações práticas para gestores, visando à otimização da gestão de recursos e ao fortalecimento de parcerias estratégicas. As implicações sociais e econômicas reforçam o papel subexplorado das incubadoras no apoio ao empreendedorismo e à inovação, além de seu impacto na promoção da economia local e na melhoria da qualidade de vida das comunidades. Para cumprir essa missão, as incubadoras precisam assegurar, primeiramente, seu desempenho e sustentabilidade financeira. Palavras-chave: incubadoras de empresas; sustentabilidade financeira; desenvolvimento; amazonas; estudo de caso.
COMMUNICATION WITH BIO-ALTERED CREATURES:MUTANTS, CLONES, BIOLOGICAL SPECIMEN IN MODERN ART PRACTICES
Authors: DENIKIN A.A.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the consideration of bio-genetic experiments conducted by contemporary artists in their art projects in order to find out how diverse strategies for communicating with non-human creatures can be and how far a person’s imagination can go in predicting possible types of mutants, clones and other biological products in modern art practices. Interaction strategies such as self-communication with one’s own body, nanomolecular communications, intercellular communications and interspecific communications are considered. The new communicative forms differ from the traditional verbal and visual-figurative ways of human communication. Modern experiments in the field of technology, biotechnology and art predict possible communication models and give grounds to consider them as a likely scenario of communication and interaction of posthuman in the future.
CONCEPT OF "CULTURAL CODE" AS A UNIVERSAL METHODOLOGICAL TOOL IN HUMANITARIAN DISCIPLINES
Authors: DROBYSHEV A.V.
Published: December 2024

The article explores the concept of «cultural code», which has recently been widely distributed in a variety of Russian discourses. Based on the distribution of the results of the search for the word «cultural code» by dates (frequency per million word forms) from 1983 to 2021. in the system of the National Corps of Russian Language as well as the frequency of use of the wordcombination «cultural code» in the system of the leading electronic library Elibrary.ru from 1988 to 2023. the conclusion is made about the high demand of this concept, its uniqueness (relevance and novelty) and universality (interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary). Proceeding from the ideological principles of text-centrism, presupposing text as the main element in the most complex system of knowledge of the world and implying the difficulty of overcoming «barrier zones» in working with complex abstract concepts, the author tries an independent experiment in studying the concept of «cultural code» with the help of cultural modification of the method of analogy.On the basis of functional and informative analysis of media discourse and scientific discourse the conclusion about the prevailing view on the concept through the prism of semiotic approach is made, and axiomatic (working) definition of «cultural code» is formulated as systems of signs and rules of their use, performing functions of cultural communication and memory. Based on this definition, the author draws an analogy between the «cultural code» and the cryptographic code «Enigma».Analysis of the communication system performed with the help of the known cipher machine, and the subsequent extended analogy with the situation of entering the unknown room, in which the «Enigma» is foundallows the author to draw a conclusion about the«cultural code» as a hollow concept and a universal methodological tool for the humanities.The conclusion asserts the need for further study of culture, texts and codes using data from cryptology, information theory, mathematics, cybernetics, cognitive science, linguistics, cultural studies, etc. as well as the prospect of considering various cryptanalytic methods as cultural approaches.

Authors: EPIFANOVA A.G. , DOLDO N.V
Published: December 2024

The image of the modern socio-cultural environment is constructed using various means and tools. This article is devoted to the analysis of social advertising as a product of design design of modern urban spaces. The relevance of the development of social advertising is increasing in connection with the “visual turn” as a special stage in the existence of culture in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The authors rely on the environmental approach of the study of modern culture. The success of social advertising, therefore, can be assessedfrom the standpoint of compliance with current value trends and attitudes of the audience, as well as understood as a tool for their active construction of the cultural environment of the city. The purpose of the research review is to identify the functional aspects and possibilities of social advertising in the context of design design and semantic construction of socially significant values of society. The article examines the informational, ideological, sociointegrative and educational functions of social advertising. The classification of social advertising on various grounds is presented (depending on the subject or object of communication, the nature and scale of impact, segments of the target audience, broadcast models and formats of the advertising message). A historical retrospective of the development of social advertising in Russia is given; trends in the placement of social advertising in the Russian and foreign urban space are analyzed. A detailed description of specific examples of the use of social advertising in various districts of the city of Chelyabinsk is given. The problems of using social advertising in the context of design design in Chelyabinsk (lack of a single visual code, ill-conceived conceptual arrangement of advertising objects) are outlined. The effective methods of introducing social advertising through the use of technological innovations are analyzed.It is concluded that social advertising as a product of design activity is able to design the space of a modern city, making changes to the value picture of the world of a modern person.
