“Better place no wit can finde”: The Compiler as Author in Early Modern Verse Miscellanies
Authors: Zirker Angelika
Published: February 2023

This paper reflects on concepts of early modern authorship during the early modern period based on miscellanies and the roles of their compilors. The statement "I Compyle: I make a boke as an auctor doth" from Palsgrave’s Dictionary of French and English serves as a starting point: here, the compiler becomes a co-creative agent in that he plays with identities in composing the collection of poetry as much as with concepts and notions of individuality and community. This will be illustrated on the basis of a single poem, "Harpalus‘ Complaint" from Tottel’s Miscellany (1557) up unto the second edition of Englands Helicon (1614). A variety of interaction between several roles can be observed: compilors become co-authors themselves but also do readers when poems are newly arranged and integrated into a narrative. While Tottel’s Miscellany plays with identities and attributions, in Englands Helicon the (re)contextualisation of poems within newly created narratives is central. The paper thus shows that concepts of authorship around 1600 go beyond our contemporary notions that are often based on ideas of the creative genius: compilation becomes authorial business, and is creative.

State of Nationalism (SoN): Ethics of Nationalism
Authors: Berk Timothy
Published: February 2023

Is nationalism morally defensible, or is it a destructive holdover from our primitive past? Are certain forms of nationalism normatively preferable to others? To what extent are liberals ethically entitled to accommodate the demands and concerns of nationalists? Do the claims of nationality entail a right to independence or autonomy? Can the ‘politics of cultural survival’ justify the state’s protection and promotion of particular national identities? This article will provide an overview of how thinkers have dealt with such problems in the different eras of the study of nationalism.

‘Visca Catalunya Lliure!’ – Battles for Catalan Autonomy in the Ramblas in the Immediate Aftermath of World War One
Authors: Grafl Florian
Published: February 2023

The short period from November 1918 to January 1919 marked a very distinct episode in the history of Catalan nationalism and in the history of Barcelona. The after-war years in the Catalan metropolis became known as Pistolerismo due to the bloody struggles between workers and entrepreneurs. The first months after the armistice, however, were dominated by the confrontations of Catalan nationalists and the police as well as radical proponents of the Spanish central state in Barcelona’s main avenue, Las Ramblas. This article analyses these violent street protests for Catalan autonomy in a microhistorical perspective aiming for a better understanding of how these struggles emerged, why they reached such a radical dimension, and under which conditions they came to a sudden end in February 1919. Firstly, the socio-political developments are examined, arguing that Catalanism underwent a transformation from a cultural to a political movement at the turn from the 19th to the 20th century and that despite Spain’s neutrality, the raise of nationalisms caused by the First World War also affected Catalonia. Secondly, the importance of the Ramblas as a stage of street protest in Barcelona is highlighted. Thirdly, the logics and the routines of these violent confrontations are analysed. Finally, it is demonstrated how the 'Canadiense strike' in February 1919 immediately pushed the quest for Catalan autonomy completely into the background for several years. In general, this article contributes to both the history of Catalan nationalism as well as to the history of urban violence in contemporary Barcelona.
Italy: Old and New Territorial Claims
Authors: Petrosino Daniele
Published: February 2023

The question of sub-state nationalism in Italy assumes some peculiar characteristics because territorial fractures have existed since the birth of the Italian nation-state, and in recent decades new sub-state nationalist movements were born on the edge of these cleavages.
Although some sub-state nationalist groups are seeking apparently new declinations of the nationalist claim, the majority moves according with the traditional sub-nationalist ideology.
The devolvement of powers is one of the successful strategies to disempower the centrifugal pressures coming from ethno/regionalist/sub-state parties and movements and to accommodate ethno-regional claims. At the same time, it responds to a functional reorganization of the state. But, of course, autonomy is not independence and it does not imply any form of recognition of national identity.
On the one hand, there is a functional problem of governance and of optimal scale for policy decisions. On the other hand, there are the claims of identity/cultural type. When these two levels overlap it is highly likely that independence movements will emerge. In border regions and islands, this overlap could have relied on fractures present for a long time and on the presence of sufficiently recognized and shared cultural markers; but at the same time, the specific institutional arrangements and accommodations have reduced the strength of the protests.
Conversely, in the case of the Northern League, the attempt to invent an ethno-cultural identity failed, leaving space first for pure territorial claims, which have had great success, and then for a transformation still underway from a territorial party into an anti-immigrant and antiEurope Italian party.
At the same time, all these strains point out the weakness of the Italian nation-state, both under the identity profile and the institutional one, and the need to define it in new terms.
The National Movement within the Albanian Diaspora in1919-1920
Authors: Çali Deona
Published: February 2023

This article examines the importance of Albanian émigré societies as active supporters of Albania’s membership in the League of Nations at the Paris Peace Conference, and their role in the establishment of the modern state of Albania. Albanian immigration societies such as Vatra (the Pan-Albanian Federation of America) as well as the Society of Albanians of Romania were critical actors in the efforts to advance the cause of their homeland during and after World War I. This article analyzes the migrant networks that operated during this period by considering the work of local and foreign representatives of these societies, such as Fan S. Noli (one of the key figures being discussed in this article), Luigj Bumçi, Dr.Mihal Turtulli, Mehmed Konica, and Edith Durham. It illustrates how these figures played an intricate role in Albania's admission process to the League of Nations via their lobbying in the European chancelleries, gradually changing the Great Powers’ attitude towards the Albanian candidacy. Partly relying on a novel investigation of documents from the Albanian Central State Archive that pertain to the activity of the representatives of Pan-Albanian Federation Vatra in the Parliament of Great Britain, this article will clarify the postponement of the decision of the Albanian issue as part of the broader ‘Adriatic question’ from the Peace Conference to the proceedings of the League of Nations. As a result of the activity of the representatives and delegates of these societies, Albania was admitted to the League of Nations on 17 December 1920 without defined boundaries, constituting a special case in the history of the League of Nations.

Emotional and Social Ties in the Construction of Nationalism: A Group Biographical Approach to the Tengström Family in nineteenth-century Finland
Authors: Eiranen Reetta
Published: February 2023

Emotions are, in a way, intrinsic to nationalism and belong to a nation’s ontology. They are part of the relation
an individual has with the nation, and nations can even be seen as ‘emotional communities.’ In more general terms, the significance of emotions for politics has increasingly been recognized. In addition, the ‘emotion’ approach can be associated with an emphasis on the personal meanings of nationalism. Anthony Cohen’s notion of ‘personal nationalism’ underlines the individual interpretations of nationalism, their link to selfconstruction and the attempt to understand ‘personal sentiments’ linked to nationalism. Drawing from this background, new perspectives can arise by explicitly connecting the analysis of gender, emotions and nationalism with each other, and by bringing them to the level of concrete lives and relationships. This article provides an analysis of a family circle involved in nationalistic activities that ties together all of these aspects.
Constructing and deconstructing heroes. A Basque case study
Authors: Mees Ludger
Published: February 2023

José Antonio Aguirre Lekube was, and probably still is, a national hero in the Basque Country. He was appointed the first president (in Basque: lehendakari), when in October 1936 the Basque Statute of Autonomy was passed by the Spanish Parliament and the first autonomous government of Euskadi established. Being a member of the catholic Basque Nationalist Party, Aguirre became the leader of all Basque democrats in the fight against the fascist insurrection, first during the war and then in the long exile until his death in 1960. Especially after his providential escape from Nazi Germany, his leadership got a clearly transcendental and somehow divine connotation: in the painful times of exile and repression, many of his followers perceived Aguirre both as their (human) president, but also as a kind of prophet who knew the way to freedom and democracy.

The paper aims at analysing this process of transformation of a leading politician into a national hero. This analysis will be based upon the theoretical assumption that the constructivist approach alone is not able to explain the reasons of this evolution and that it has to be completed by other perspectives of explanation. In the case of Aguirre, his elevation to the status of a hero was not only the product of social engineering. Of similar, or even more importance, were other factors like historical situations of acute crises and popular distress, individual 'predestination' and even random incidents in the personal biography.
The construction of a 'new nationalism'. The Welsh Nationalist Party to 1946
Authors: Morgan Syd
Published: February 2023

The invisibility of Wales compared to other sub-state nations such as Catalonia and Scotland invites case studies of this sociological phenomenon from multiple perspectives. This article utilises the formation and development of a new, territorially-centred political party and its invention of a new nationalism as an instrument for achieving territorial visibility, which was recognised and empowering. In the process, it characterised its predecessor old nationalism as unseen or subjugated. While intellectual innovation, party activities conventional and unconventional and press exposure were central to this new formation, its foundational era the post-War turbulence of the inter-war period and the Second World War challenged its political development but saw it rapidly adapt.

The article critically reviews the current historiography of Welsh nationalism from the failure of the old nationalism of the Liberal and Labour parties and places this demonstrably new nationalism in its European and global contexts. State-building was the partys core component, which placed it in sharp opposition to the British state. Nor was it just another political party competing within the state, but one with an alternative world-view. Another foundational principle was the protection of the Welsh language. Yet it appealed to non-Welsh speakers and immigrants in the era of fascist Europe. This newly constructed alterity was especially marked in the field of international relations. At the apogee of the British Empire, it espoused a fundamentalist opposition to imperialism, stressing what it saw as the negative connectivity between UK domestic and international policies. Defining a new national interest, the party used the super-visible Irish Free State as an exemplar, not only on constitutional issues but economics, trade, international affairs and defence. The latter helped define its 'defensive neutrality' policy during World War II, a position which invited powerful attacks from state opponents.
Historiography of the Lithuanian national movement. Changing paradigms
Authors: Staliunas Darius
Published: February 2023

This article shows how the modern Lithuanian historical narrative came into being and evolved with special attention to the perception of the Lithuanian national movement. During the 'long nineteenth century' Lithuanians constructed their concept of history as an alternative to the Polish construct and to a lesser degree its Russian counterpart. The history of Lithuania was considered to be the history of (ethnic) Lithuanians. The concept of National revival was elaborated at that time. The anti-Polish paradigm became even stronger during the interwar period. Historians at that time focused their attention on the Lithuanian opposition to the so-called Russification. After the Soviet Union occupied Lithuania in 1940 and again in 1945, the official historical view propagated by the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic had to be not only Marxist but also in line with the ideologem of friendship of the peoples. However, there was also a different approach to the history of the Lithuanian national movement. One group made an attempt not to follow the ideologem without leaving the realm of Marxist methodology; a second group represented the traditional Lithuanian, essentially primordialist, view on nationalism.
A Public History of Monuments
Authors: Cauvin Thomas
Published: February 2023

Recent controversies over monuments question not only who should be represented and commemorated in the public space but also who can decide whether to remove or not the monuments. In doing so, those controversies relate to the constant making, interpretation, and use of history in the public space. This article discusses how public history – whose aim is to make history production more public by focusing on accessibility, engagement and participation – can play a role in public debates about contested monuments. Public history can set the ground for more informed decisions on the preservation, removal or destruction of monuments. Those decisions are all the more important as they relate to demands for inclusive reinterpretation and decolonisation of national pasts. The article looks at several projects (Europe, in the Americas, and in South Africa) to remove monuments and their impact on the historical understanding of the past in the public space. In addition to historicising spaces and monuments, public history can play a major role in developing collaborative practices and fostering a more inclusive approach to history production.
Demolition of Monuments as a Phenomenon of Culture in Global and Local Contexts: Iconoclasm, ‘New Barbarity’, or a Utopia of Memory?
Authors: Sukovata Viktoriya
Published: February 2023

This article is devoted to the study of ‘demolition’ (destruction) of monuments as a cultural phenomenon, which unexpectedly emerges in certain historical periods. Whereas for a long time it was believed that one of the main functions of culture is the preservation of material achievements and the conservation of memories of the past in monuments and other ‘memorial signs’, recent years have demonstrated that, occasionally, various nations undergo a ‘civilizational explosion’ as a result of which representatives of the nation feel a need for a radical change of the memory, prompting a rejection of the past that is expressed in the destruction (demolition) of monuments. The purpose of this article is to analyze the cultural semiotics of the destruction, their origins, and the results of these radical transformations of the signs of the memories of the past. These transformations in people’s cultural behavior are studied in global and local contexts. Considerable attention is paid to the semantics of the demolition of monuments in Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine, in the context of the historical experience of this city in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

‘Garibaldi was here?!’: Commemorative monuments and the emergence of a national memory culture in nineteenth-century Italy – a network approach
Authors: Poland Stefan
Published: February 2023

With the help of a database of historical-national monuments, the article will look at monuments' mediating function between the commemorated personalities and the locations of their commemorative presence. An analysis of this dataset offers a new way of studying the relationship between national and regional layers of collective memory. Italy offers an excellent test case to explore the possibilities of this data-driven methodology. The unification of a nationally Italian collective memory corresponds directly with the unification of the Italian state out of the pre-existing, old historical regions with their own, well-established historical consciousness. While a national memory culture becomes apparent in the late nineteenth century, public monuments remain predominantly local/regional in orientation, with only a few memory figures (especially Garibaldi) commemorated on a truly national scale.

Co-development of Low-speed Electric Community Buses for Local Area Revitalization
Authors: Amagai Kenji , Kotake Hiroto , Munemura Masahiro , Shigeto Sawako , Horio Masayuki
Published: February 2023

This paper describes the development of low-speed electric community buses (LSECBs) designed by the author's group and their spread situation in Japan. LSECBs are electric vehicles that can travel on public roads at speeds of less than 5.56 m/s (20 km/h). The university, local government, local businesses, and residents with a co-design approach developed the LSECBs. They have various advantages such as safety due to low speed and low energy consumption. In particular, the LSECBs have features not found in ordinary vehicles, such as the ability to friendly talk with other passengers in the vehicle and to see the surroundings. The purpose of using LSECBs is mostly for sightseeing, but they are also used to enhance the mobility of elderly people in the community. In Japan, public transportation plans are formulated by each local government, but local governments with weak finances do not provide sufficient financial support to the companies responsible for public transportation. As a result, public transportation services have been reduced or eliminated due to the business conditions of private companies, and many elderly people with reduced mobility, called "people with shopping difficulties," have been left behind. Under these situations, it is necessary to discuss what kind of contribution LSECBs can make. Moreover, the LSECBs require special driving methods so as not to cause traffic congestion when mixed with other ordinal vehicles. In this paper, we report on the development concept, features of the LSECBs, their special driving method, positioning as a transportation policy, and their potential as stainable mobility.

Perspective of People With Type 2 Diabetes Toward Self-management: Qualitative Study Based on Web Crawler Data
Authors: Hu Lei , Jin Xiaoyuan , Li Yundong , Wang Hongmei , Yang Dan , Zhang Ziqing , He Xiaoyu , Liao Jing , Chen Weiju , Gong Ni
Published: February 2023

Background

The diabetes disease burden in China is heavy, and medical standards such as diabetes guidelines are the core reference guidelines for diabetes management for health care providers and patients. However, patients’ guideline compliance is too low, which correlates with the gap between guidelines and patients’ self-management needs. Incorporating patient needs into the guideline development would reduce this gap.

Objective

We sought to capture the needs of patients with diabetes for self-management in everyday situations and to clarify the contradictions and misalignments between medical standards, such as guidelines, and patient needs.

Methods

This study collected crawler-based data from 4 online health communities. We selected 1605 text records collected from Chinese patients with diabetes between March 2020 and July 2020 for analysis. The text analysis applied grounded theory to separate issues that concerned patients into 3 themes, 7 subthemes, and 25 entries.

Results

Altogether, 69.03% (1108/1605) of texts were related to issues concerning disease treatment (theme B) and mainly inquired about medication use (B2 and B3; 686/1108, 61.91%), including medication choice, change in medication administration, side effects, and postmedication effects. In addition, 222 (N=1605, 13.8%) texts (theme A) concerned the explanation of disease etiology and knowledge of diabetes, and 275 (N=1605, 17.1%) texts (theme C) discussed lifestyle changes and various restrictions on life brought about by the disease.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest an urgent need to improve diabetes health education and guideline development strategies and to develop health management strategies from a patient perspective to bridge the misalignment between patient needs and current medical standards.

Studies on the Pharmacological Effects of Saraca Indica Leaf Extract on the Nerves of Mice
Authors: Yadav Sharad Singh , Malik Prof. Dr. Jitendra
Published: February 2023

Abstract: People in India think that the Ashoka tree, also called the Saraca indica tree, is one of the holiest plants. Ayurvedic doctors have used the properties of the Saraca indica plant for a long time to treat pain, promote a healthy complexion, help with digestion and absorption, stop thirst, get rid of all infectious agents, treat blood diseases and inflammation, and calm the central nervous system. The goal of this study was to find out if different extracts of Saraca indica leaves have any CNS-depressing effects. In earlier research, it was thought that Saraca indica might have a depressant effect on the central nervous system. This led to the current study. Because of their different levels of polarity, petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol, and water were used in this order to get the leaves of Saraca indica. The depressant effect of pentobarbitone on the central nervous system (CNS) was measured by timing how long it took for the drug to make the subject fall asleep and by tracking how much the subject moved with an actophotometer. At a dose of 400 mg/kg, an extract of Saraca indica leaves that was made with methanol showed the most helpful effects. Significantly (P 0.01), this dose both slowed down the time it took for pentobarbitone to cause sleep and made it last longer. When the extract was given, the amount of movement decreased by 67.33 percent. The effect of extracts in water, chloroform, and petroleum ether on the CNS was different depending on the dose. Even so, neither animal showed any clear signs of the CNS being slowed down by the petroleum ether extract. Based on what was found, some Saraca indica leaf extracts may make the CNS feel down.

Introduction.The application of PROZASK fire-retardant panels demonstrates an option for and the expediency of a comprehensive study of fire proofing characteristics.

Goals and objectives.The mission of this research project is to (1) obtain the results of experimental studies of fireproofing panels, containing the cement binder, (2) determine their fire proofing efficiency, using the radiant heating test bench that reproduces pre-set modes of high-temperature exposure, and (2) analyze the testing results using the method of mathematical modelling of temperature fields inside fireproof structures.

Methods.Standardized laboratory techniques were used to clarify the thermal-physical characteristics of boards at relatively low temperatures. Their fire proofing efficiency was evaluated in the course of additional testing of specimens using the radiant heating test bench. A reliable and relatively uncomplicated method and programme for calculating unsteady temperature fields in fireproof structures were used to conduct the thermal analysis and generalization of experimental results. The authors summarized the results of standardized tests, conducted in a fire furnace, to determine the flame-retardant efficiency of PROZASK Firepanel boards and the fire-resistance of the full-size structures they protect.

Results.Values of specific heat capacity and the thermal conductivity coefficient of boards, tested using  laboratory benches at relatively low temperatures, were verified. The results of thermocouple measurements, taken during the testing of specimens with the help of the radiant heating bench in standard and hydrocarbon temperature modes, were obtained. The processing of these results, using thermal engineering analysis, allowed determining the values of the thermal conductivity coefficient in the range of operating temperatures. The influence of moisture, contained in the boards, on their fire protection efficiency was evaluated. Comparison between the results of calculations and tests, conducted in the fire furnaces, showed the practical usability of the obtained characteristics of boards and the thermo-engineering analysis used to (1) clarify the fire-proofing efficiency and the design developed using PROZASK Firepanels and (2) evaluate the fire-resistance of the constructions they protect.

Conclusions.The presented integrated studies generated a considerable amount of important information, required to prognosticate the fire proofing properties and the fire-resistance of constructions that contain PROZASK Firepanels. The role of additional testing of specimens using a radiant heating test bench and the effectiveness of thermal-engineering calculations as a tool for assessing the parameters of fire proofing  and the fire resistance of structures are demonstrated.

Introduction. The article contains a theoretical study on the influence of climatic conditions in various regions of the Russian Federation on the heating of a side wall of a liquified hydrocarbon gas (LHG) tank if the firе runs through the whole vehicle, located at a gas station. Objectives of the study:

analysis of the fire safety legislative framework applicable to gas station design;

analysis of sources of domestic and foreign experimental studies on the fire impact of flames on an LHG tank;

numerical simulation of the vehicle combustion in cold and warm seasons, taking into account the highest wind velocity in the Russian Federation;

numerical simulations, conducted for a warm season to identify the critical surface temperature of a side wall of an LHG tank, and the design wind velocity corresponding to the air temperature in a Russian region.

Materials and methods. The method of mathematical statistics is used to process maximum values of the air temperature and wind velocity for each Russian region and obtain the empirical values of the wind velocity and air temperature in the Russian regions. Calculations were made using the method of mathematical modelling of fire in warm periods to identify the critical surface temperature of a side wall of an LHG tank and the design wind velocity corresponding to the air temperature in the regions of Russia.

Results. A dependence between the wind velocity and the air temperature in the Russian regions, as well as a dependence between the critical surface temperature of a side wall of an LHG tank and climatic conditions of the Russian regions was identified.

Conclusions. The results, obtained by the researches, can be used to design the fire separation distance between the site designated for a fuel tanker truck (the parking lot for a vehicle before its fueling), an LHG tank and a gas station.
