Representations of Private Life in Macedonski’s Art. Domestic Death – Attempts to Dissolve Fear
Authors:   Universitatea „Ștefan cel Mare”, Suceava, România, Ungureanu Otilia
Published: February 2025

In this paper we aim to analyze the theme of Death as a representation of private life in Macedonski’s art. This approach takes into account the fact that Macedonski's identity cannot be "fixed" without the socio-cultural context of the era, so sometimes the images of private life will intersect with those of public life. Even if Macedonski's attitude seems to validate the idea of a total commitment to his popularity, his personal life is kept as far as possible from prying eyes. The pleasure of the confession and the temptation of the autobiographical, highlighting the uniqueness of the man or the tragedy of the poet's existence in the world, do not show intimate things or family problems. In addition to the creative projections, I used here a series of confessions of the poet or those close to him, personal documents or letters refrencing his life and opinions. Beyond the cultural and social implications, the phenomenon of Death, remains singular and achieves a unique outline for each passage. The story of Death involves a series of human attitudes, personalized rituals, intimate feelings. The death of his father and grandfather are filtered through Macedonski's eyes of a child, while the funereal rituals and ceremonial characteristic of Bucharest bring this last existential moment closer to the present. There are differences of tone and attitude in shaping the image of domestic Death when the poet shifts his focus from personal to general events. When he talks about his own end, Macedonski refuses the common attitude, resizing Death and subordinating it to the creative will. For Macedonski, Death is something that escapes his power, a phenomenon that cannot be controlled, but can be defied through an optimistic attitude, by eliminating the sequence of the immediate in favor of the immense image of eternity, through lyrical nuances and ironic speech.
The Body in Translation
Authors:   Université « Alexandru Ioan Cuza » de Iași, Roumanie, Dumas Felicia
Published: February 2025

The article proposes a translational analysis of the different strategies used in the translation from French into Romanian of the noun corps [body], its lexical family (i.e. the words corporalité, corporel, incorporel, corporellement, etc.) and some expressions containing it (such as prendre corps). The analysis is based on a corpus of several Romanian versions of French texts on theology and Christian spirituality (particularly Orthodox), produced by specialist translators with a recognised reputation and authority in this field in contemporary Romanian culture.
The analysis shows that both the masculine noun corps, and its lexical derivatives analysed in the article, are translated into Romanian, in terms of their use in Orthodox theological and spiritual writings, by the canonical equivalent trup and its lexical derivatives, constructed in a similar way in the Romanian language. Indeed, while Romanian can offer two different equivalents for the translation of the French noun corps (trup and corp), there is one that is more specialised for its use in Orthodox Christian religious language: the noun trup. To translate all the words in its lexical family, Romanian uses the derivation that takes this name of Slavonic origin exclusively as its lexical base.
One of the most important linguistic features of the texts of Orthodox Christian theology and spirituality written in Romanian is their ancient and even archaic lexicon, which is mostly of Slavonic origin. The operation of a cultural figement („figement culturel” – Dumas 2014: 17) quite often imposes, in translations into Romanian of modern foreign languages, the choice of an equivalent of Slavonic origin, to the detriment of another, of neological and non-Slavonic origin. This 'preference' for Slavonic can be explained by the particular dynamics of the process of forming the Romanian language, through the translation of ecclesiastical books from Slavonic (which was the liturgical language in the Romanian lands) into Romanian culture in the 7th and 18th centuries.
The article also shows that in specialist texts on theology and Orthodox Christian spirituality, the noun trup translates not only the French noun corps, but also, in many contexts, the feminine noun chair. We can thus speak of a veritable discursive monopoly of this equivalent, and of a semantic generalisation of its discursive use. The article concludes that the synchronic competition between the two lexical equivalents that Romanian can offer for the translation of the French noun corps, namely corp and trup, is clearly won in this specialised type of translation by the noun trup and its long Slavonic diachrony.
Functional Styles and Language Functions
Authors:   Universitatea Tehnică din Cluj-Napoca, Centrul Universitar Nord Baia Mare, Facultatea de Litere, România, Felecan Daiana
Published: February 2025

The present study aims to analyze three distinct functional styles of language: conversational, scientific, and literary, examining the activation of language functions within each style and identifying their predominant function(s). We considered these three divergent linguistic registers to be equally compelling, given that their analytical units significantly impact the verbal expressions of contemporary speakers. It is worth noting that their placement somewhat at opposite ends of the stylistic domains targeted was a motivating factor in our research choice.
In interpersonal communication practices, individuals encounter situations where they are required to draw from their available discursive repertoire, employing either neutrally or emotionally charged verbal expressions, orchestrated within the symphony of everyday speech (the conversational style). At other times, speakers resort to excessively rigid textual features (the scientific style), while often they assume the role of interpreters of non-finite textual realms (the literary style). The study delves into those circumstances that demand from the speaker the ability to demonstrate efficient manipulation of language. Specifically, we will focus on cases in which speakers must demonstrate adeptness in manipulating utterances detached from communicative contingency and, thus, ‘divorced’ from immediate communicative contexts. Other targeted situations include instances when speakers act as knowledgeable instructors in conveying highly specialized semantic phrases or when they demonstrate their skill in disentangling deliberately convoluted lyrical or narrative threads, done with both unrestrained creativity and aesthetically verifiable precision.
To support our assertions, we will employ a methodology drawn from interconnected disciplines, including stylistics, philosophy of language, literary theory, and semantics.
Sp. Hola ‘Hello’ Revisited: Etymological and Historical Insights
Authors:   University of Bucharest, Romania, Georgescu Simona , Pavel Cătălin ,   “Ovidius” University, Constanta, Romania
Published: February 2025

The present article outlines the historical roots of Spanish interjection hola and the linguistic stages it has gone through, from an ancient Arabic oath formula, wa'llah ‘I swear to God’, to its current value as a greeting. Firstly, we offer a brief theoretical overview of the laicization of foreign sacred words once they are borrowed by a population of a different religious persuasion. Afterwards, our argumentation entails a comprehensive review of the etymological hypotheses that have been proposed for this word since the 17th century. We are thus able to prove that hola is related to other Romance interjections, Sp. hala ‘oh’, ‘come on’, Rom. aoleu ‘oh, woe’, and văleu ‘id.’, all derived from the name Allah. Hola must have been used in Spanish initially to express astonishment, later with conative or vocative function, until it was finally lexicalized as a salutation.
Cognition, Language, and Ideology. Conflicting Cognitive Models of Pregnancy, Birth and Maternity during Romania’s Communist Era (II)
Authors:   West University of Timișoara, Romania, Tucan Gabriela , Tucan Dumitru ,   West University of Timișoara, Romania
Published: February 2025

One of the first political decisions of the Ceaușescu regime, with significant implications for the private lives of citizens in communist Romania, was the prohibition of abortion through Decree 770/1966. This act marked the beginning of an aggressively enforced pronatalist policy, facilitated by the repressive apparatus of the dictatorship, resulting in tragic consequences, especially for women in Romania – illegal abortions, loss of lives, orphaned children, and more. The imposition of this pronatalist policy relied on highly ideologized rhetoric, underpinned by a patriarchal Idealized Cognitive Model (ICM), redefined through conceptual metaphors with a "socialist" twist, adapted to the new political context. This official Idealized Cognitive Model became incompatible with the real experiences of Romania's citizens regarding pregnancy, birth, and maternity.
This two-part article describes and analyzes, based on the theory of Idealized Cognitive Models, the conflicting tension within the discourse on maternity during Ceaușescu's dictatorship. It explores the conflict between the officially sanctioned cognitive model of maternity, ideologically embraced by the regime (evident in its official rhetoric), and the personal experiences of women, revealing emotional pain, physical anguish, and trauma (visible in the corpus of oral testimonies, interviews, and narratives). In the examined corpus, which includes private and official narratives, as well as press releases regarding Romanian legislation on population growth, we seek to reveal the conventional schematization of concepts related to birth, pregnancy, and maternity, iconographically fixed by several conceptual metaphors emphasizing the "glory of bearing and raising as many children as possible." The article intends to highlight an elevated political and ideological specificity attached to these metaphors. One of the primary objectives is to establish a methodology for the comprehension of the conceptual operations of harmful political policies with substantial ideological dimensions.

In societies characterized by ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity, individuals or groups known as Pak often play a crucial role in facilitating integration and social development. The study explores how Pak functions as a mediator, leader, and driver of social change, addressing the challenges that arise from such diversity. The article focuses on Pak’s involvement in developing inclusive policies, enhancing communication between different groups, and promoting values of tolerance and unity. By analyzing relevant case studies and literature, the article identifies various strategies employed by Pak to improve social well-being and strengthen community cohesion. The findings are intended to provide valuable insights into how change agents like Pak can influence social dynamics in multicultural societies and offer practical recommendations for supporting social integration.
Abd al-Rahman al-Dakhil's Stance Towards the Christian Kingdoms in Al-Andalus
Authors: Hussein Dawood Suhair
Published: February 2025

This study examines the stance of Abd al-Rahman al-Dakhil towards the Christian kingdoms in Al-Andalus during his rule. Following the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate in the Levant, Abd al-Rahman I successfully established an independent emirate in Al-Andalus, navigating both internal and external challenges. A significant aspect of his governance was his strategic response to the Christian kingdoms in northern Spain, which continuously sought to reclaim lost territories and challenge Muslim rule. The study explores his military campaigns, diplomatic efforts, and policies aimed at securing the stability of the Umayyad state. Despite initial successes in repelling Christian advances and imposing tributary agreements, internal strife within Al-Andalus weakened its ability to maintain long-term control over contested regions. The research underscores the pivotal role of political unity in sustaining territorial dominance and highlights how Abd al-Rahman al-Dakhil’s leadership shaped the early Islamic state in Iberia.

Published: February 2025

Chronic insomnia is a frequently occurring problem, and the number of Danes who experience sleep problems is increasing. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) as argued in this review is recommended as the first choice of treatment either face-to-face or digitally. Pharmacological treatment should only be used if CBT-i is not sufficient. The effect of CBT-i has been investigated in several meta-analyses and systematic reviews, the effect is found to be good and the recommendation for using CBT-i is strong. Digital CBT-i programs have been developed, and here the efficacy is also found to be good.

Purpose of the article Housing sector of particular states worldwide differs. The composition of the housing stock depends on the tradition, purpose and reasons of the development of concrete forms of housing. Some countries have the tendency towards owner-occupied housing, other prefer the rental housing. As there is the wide range of the social strata of the population of each country, so have been their possibilities in obtaining of their preferred housing. Except of some other factors, tradition, lifestyle and income determine relevantly people’s choice to the housing. Concerning the rental housing, its wider and differentiate offer creates more favourable conditions towards the accessibility to the decent housing. The developed affordable housing represents the opportunity for welfare of large social groups of inhabitants.
Methodology/methods The analysis and synthesis of the acquired data were executed. The method of observation was used.
Scientific aim Based on the mentioned methodology to broaden the knowledge concerning the possibilities of the affordable rental housing development in Slovakia and to stress the existing and potential obstacles in its development.
Findings The paper concretely specifies the obstacles of the affordable rental housing stock development in Slovakia.
Conclusions (limits, implications etc.) The development of the affordable housing in Slovakia has some obstacles that were dealt in the paper. To find the most appropriate model for the spread of this type of living, the Austrian and Finnish attitudes were provided.
The praxis shows that all types of the housing stock should be balanced. People and their needs have been different. The lifestyle of people has been changing. People travel a lot and intend to be on the right place in the right time with the most suitable type of housing. The state should perceive the sociological development and create the suitable framework, such as values, institutions, design of urban spaces. But inspite of some effort in Slovakia in the field of affordable housing development its output seems to be insufficient.

This paper presents a theoretical model for optimal control of behavioral culture genesis in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The model is based on a system of differential equations describing the dynamics of cultural capital, behavioral patterns, and value orientations. The methodology includes analysis of cultural transformation cases from developed countries with diverse cultural characteristics, as well as a detailed synthesis of modern optimal control theory and key concepts of cultural economics. A mathematical apparatus is proposed for quantitative assessment of cultural pollution and its comprehensive impact on SDG achievement. Effective methods for empirical verification of the model and mechanisms for cross-cultural adaptation have been developed. The obtained research results can be successfully applied in forming long-term cultural policy and systematic evaluation of its effectiveness in the broad context of sustainable development.

In the article, the English auction was analyzed within the framework of the theory of structure design and under conditions of continuous distribution of types.
The English auction is conducted by gradually increasing the initial announced price. The transaction is considered completed when only one buyer remains. The English auction consisting of N individuals was considered in the article, deriving the general solution of the auction. The dominant strategies of the auction, the state of equilibrium, the social choice function implemented by the mechanism were evaluated. In order to truthfully implement the social choice function of the auction, an appropriate mechanism has been designed. The variables of agent’s winning probability, expected utility and seller's expected return were also evaluated. The effect of increasing the number of agents on different variables of the model was evaluated: announced prices, dominant strategies, expected utility, expected revenue of the seller. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the second-price sealed bid auction and the English auction can be considered strategically the same game. As a result of the analysis, recommendations were made, as a result of the application of which and the demonstration of a scientific approach, it is possible to predict the results of the English auction in the case of N number of participants.

Since ancient times, social scientific thought has pondered over the ways of society, trying to outline an inner progress towards a more perfect one. Regarding that trajectory, Max Born, one of the classics of natural science of the 20th century, has the following remark: "I have studied the philosophers of all ages and have come across many brilliant ideas in their works, but I have been unable to discern any steady progress towards a deep knowledge or understanding of the nature of things." This was especially manifested in countries transitioning to a market economy, leaving the objective knowledge of the ongoing processes to the logic of solutions arising from the moment. In this sense, the discussions in the literature regarding "sustainable development" and artificial intelligence are also considered. A separate theory section is devoted to Roger Bootle's work "Artificial Intelligence and the Economy", in which the author's arrangement of thought comes to the following: because we do not know enough about the functional importance of artificial intelligence on the economy and society, therefore it is necessary to actively encourage the development of artificial intelligence and leave the market to "do its job".

Published: February 2025

En los últimos años, ha habido un interés creciente en la implementación de tecnologías más limpias (Rumanti, Wiratmadja y Irianto, 2023; Verawaty et al., 2023; Omri, Courrent y Nemeh, 2023; Rozak et al., 2023). Este interés no solo se manifiesta como una estrategia de responsabilidad social corporativa (RSC), sino también como una respuesta a los requerimientos establecidos en los tratados comerciales internacionales o requerimientos legislativos (Zioto, Bąk, Spoz, 2023). La adopción de tecnologías limpias se ha convertido en una prioridad tanto para las empresas como para los gobiernos, dado su potencial para reducir el impacto ambiental y promover la sostenibilidad.
Un ejemplo destacado es el sector de la electromovilidad, que ha sido un foco central en el marco del Tratado entre México, Estados Unidos y Canadá (T-MEC). Este tratado comercial incluye disposiciones específicas que incentivan y, en algunos casos, requieren la adopción de tecnologías que minimicen las emisiones de carbono y mejoren la eficiencia energética. La integración de la electromovilidad no solo cumple con los objetivos ambientales del tratado, sino que también representa una oportunidad significativa para la innovación y el desarrollo económico en la región.
Ammonia: A Trend of Dry Deposition in Vietnam
Authors: Minh Thu Nguyen
Published: February 2025

This research used the calculating method of dry deposition to estimate ammonia (NH3) dry deposition value and evaluate its trend in 5 recent years. The results indicate that NH3 concentration is from 1.5 to 11ppb and sites in Southern Vietnam have higher NH3 gas concentration than Northern Vietnam. The high emitted concentration in September is at the Can Tho site in 2019 and in March at the Ha Noi site in 2023. The 2021 year has the highest NH3 dry deposition with 35.59 kg/ha/ year and the 2023 year has the lowest NH3 dry deposition with 24.4 kg/ha/year. Hoa Binh site has the highest NH3 dry deposition and a strong increase in December 2021. The Can Tho site has high NH3 dry deposition in most of the years from 2019 to 2023. The rural site reveals higher NH3 dry deposition than other sites due to agricultural activities. Medium NH3 dry deposition in 2021 is higher than other years with the biggest gap between years of NH3 dry deposition. The decreasing trend of NH3 dry deposition occurred from 1999 to 2023 and there is a strong increase in 2021, then it is sharp decrease to 2023. The decreasing trend reveals a perfect signal for improving environmental quality in good monitoring with NH3 dry deposition.

Parto vaginal después dos cesáreas. ¿Es una práctica segura?
Authors: Rodríguez Navarro Deivys , Guerra Calvo Saraima Kendra
Published: February 2025

Introduction: A widely held belief is that a mother who has had a cesarean section will no longer be able to deliver vaginally; however, there is evidence that it is possible even with two or more previous cesarean sections. Objective: To describe the results of vaginal delivery after one and two previous cesarean sections in a secondary care hospital in Djibouti. Methods: A descriptive, longitudinal study was conducted, which included patients with one or two previous cesarean sections more than two years ago, in labor, with no condition contraindicating transpelvic delivery. Results: All patients with two previous cesarean sections, and 96.9% of those with one previous cesarean section, were delivered with more than 4cm of cervical dilation. When the Flamm score was applied, 18 of the 33 patients with a previous cesarean section had a high probability of success if vaginal delivery was continued. The overall success rate with one previous cesarean section was 78.8%, and 87.5% with a history of two cesarean sections. There were 8 complications, 7 of which occurred in patients with only one previous cesarean section. The most frequent complication was immediate postpartum hemorrhage. Conclusions: The frequency of successful vaginal delivery after one or two cesarean sections was high. The prediction was more accurate for the group with two previous cesarean sections, although in both groups, when the Flamm score was high, vaginal delivery was almost always possible.

Military Expenditure and Investment Flow in Sub-saharan African Countries.Does Crowd-Out Effect Exit?
Authors: Abidemi Alamu Solomon , Lawanson Olukemi Iyabode , Nwakeze Ngozi Mary , Wasiu Oyeniran Ishola
Published: February 2025

This study examines the effect of military expenditure and insecurity on investment flows in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) from 2000 to 2023, focusing on both domestic investment and foreign direct investment (FDI). The analysis reveals a dual impact of military spending: while it positively influences domestic investment, supporting the crowd-in hypothesis, it has a negative impact on FDI, confirming the crowd-out hypothesis. Insecurity further exacerbates the negative effect on FDI, signaling instability to foreign investors.

However, military expenditure can restore investor confidence domestically by improving security and fostering a safer environment for long-term investments. The study also explores the interaction between military spending and insecurity, finding that increased military expenditure in the presence of insecurity deepens the adverse effects on both domestic investment and FDI.

These findings suggest that military expenditure alone cannot resolve the region’s security challenges and could harm foreign investment prospects. The study concludes that while military spending may boost domestic investment, it deters foreign investors, particularly in insecure regions. Policymakers are advised to adopt comprehensive approaches, including institutional reforms and conflict resolution strategies, to mitigate the impact of insecurity and create a more conducive environment for investments in SSA.

The performance of nurses at RSUD H. Abdurrahman Sayoeti Jambi City is still not optimal. Based on nurse performance recapitulation data from January to December 2023, the achievement of nurse performance has not been maximally realised, with the expected target being 100% of nurses having excellent performance, but in reality it has not been achieved. This decline in performance can affect the level of patient and family satisfaction, as well as the quality of hospital services. This study aims to analyse the influence of individual, psychological, and organisational factors on nurse performance at H. Abdurrahman Sayoeti Hospital, Jambi City in 2024. This study used a quantitative method with a Cross Sectional design and involved 33 nurses selected using the Total Sampling technique. The results showed that factors such as tenure, attitude, motivation, leadership, and rewards had a significant relationship with nurses' performance, while age and gender showed no significant relationship. Of all the factors, motivation is the most dominant factor affecting nurses' performance. Therefore, it is important for hospitals to pay attention to strengthening nurses‘ motivation and positive attitude through the development of supportive programmes, such as more structured training and rewards, as well as effective leadership, to ensure nurses’ performance can be continuously improved in line with better service quality.

Stunting is a serious problem that must be addressed because it has an impact on the quality of human resources that will be dated. The prevalence of stunting cases in Indonesia in 2022 has decreased compared to 2021, which was 21.6%. However, this figure is still above the government's expectations which determine a decrease of up to 14% in 2024. This determination requires comprehensive handling from various parties in reducing the incidence of stunting and preparing a better next generation. This study aims to determine environmental factors that are risk factors for stunting in Pekalongan City through the trias epidemiological approach. This study is a mixed methods study  using an explanatory sequential design with a case control approach. The independent variables to be studied include host and environment variables. The data obtained will be analyzed bivariate and multivalent with data reduction and drawing conclusions from qualitative data.
