Mechanisms for deNOx and deN2O Processes on FAU Zeolite with a Bimetallic Cu-Fe Dimer in the Presence of a Hydroxyl Group—DFT Theoretical Calculations
Authors: Kurzydym Izabela , Czekaj Izabela
Published: May 2024

In this paper, a detailed mechanism is discussed for two processes: deNOx and deN2O. An FAU catalyst was used for the reaction with Cu-Fe bimetallic adsorbates represented by a dimer with bridged oxygen. Partial hydration of the metal centres in the dimer was considered. Ab initio calculations based on the density functional theory were used. The electron parameters of the structures obtained were also analysed. Visualisation of the orbitals of selected structures and their interpretations are presented. The presented research allowed a closer look at the mechanisms of processes that are very common in the automotive and chemical industries. Based on theoretical modelling, it was possible to propose the most efficient catalyst that could find potential application in industry–this is the FAU catalyst with a Cu-O-Fe bimetallic dimer with a hydrated copper centre. The essential result of our research is the improvement in the energetics of the reaction mechanism by the presence of an OH group, which will influence the way NO and NH3 molecules react with each other in the deNOx process depending on the industrial conditions of the process. Our theoretical results suggest also how to proceed with the dosage of NO and N2O during the industrial process to increase the desired reaction effect.

Conducting polymers like polypyrrole, polyaniline, and polythiophene with nanostructures offers several advantages, such as high conductivity, a conjugated structure, and a large surface area, making them highly desirable for energy storage applications. However, the direct synthesis of conducting polymers with nanostructures poses a challenge. In this study, we employed a hard template method to fabricate polystyrene@polypyrrole (PS@PPy) core–shell nanoparticles. It is important to note that PS itself is a nonconductive material that hinders electron and ion transport, compromising the desired electrochemical properties. To overcome this limitation, the PS cores were removed using organic solvents to create hollow PPy nanospheres. We investigated six different organic solvents (cyclohexane, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, acetone, and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)) for etching the PS cores. The resulting hollow PPy nanospheres showed various nanostructures, including intact, hollow, buckling, and collapsed structures, depending on the thickness of the PPy shell and the organic solvent used. PPy nanospheres synthesized with DMF demonstrated superior electrochemical properties compared to those prepared with other solvents, attributed to their highly effective PS removal efficiency, increased specific surface area, and improved charge transport efficiency. The specific capacitances of PPy nanospheres treated with DMF were as high as 350 F/g at 1 A/g. And the corresponding symmetric supercapacitor demonstrated a maximum energy density of 40 Wh/kg at a power density of 490 W/kg. These findings provide new insights into the synthesis method and energy storage mechanisms of PPy nanoparticles.

The European Union’s (EU) agricultural self-sufficiency is challenged by its reliance on imported plant proteins, particularly soy from the Americas, contributing to deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing the EU’s protein deficit, this study evaluates alternative protein sources for aquaculture, focusing on their nutritional value, elemental content, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Protein flours from gastropods (Helix pomatia, Arion lusitanicus, Arion vulgaris) and their hepatopancreas, along with plant-based proteins from food industry by-products (oilcakes, coffee grounds, spent brewer’s yeast), were analyzed. Results revealed that snail flour contained the highest protein content at 59.09%, significantly outperforming hepatopancreas flour at 42.26%. Plant-based proteins demonstrated substantial nutritional value, with coffee grounds flour exhibiting a remarkable protein content of 71.8% and spent brewer’s yeast flour at 57.9%. Elemental analysis indicated high levels of essential minerals such as magnesium in hepatopancreas flour (5719.10 mg/kg) and calcium in slug flour (48,640.11 mg/kg). However, cadmium levels in hepatopancreas flour (11.45 mg/kg) necessitate caution due to potential health risks. PAH concentrations were low across all samples, with the highest total PAH content observed in hepatopancreas flour at 0.0353 µg/kg, suggesting minimal risk of PAH-related toxicity. The analysis of plant-based protein sources, particularly oilcakes derived from sunflower, hemp, flax, and pumpkin seeds, revealed that these by-products not only exhibit high protein contents but present a promising avenue for enhancing the nutritional quality of feed. This study underscores the potential of utilizing gastropod and plant-based by-products as sustainable and nutritionally adequate alternatives to conventional feeds in aquaculture, contributing to the EU’s environmental sustainability goals.
Synergetic Catalytic Effect between Ni and Co in Bimetallic Phosphide Boosting Hydrogen Evolution Reaction
Authors: Wang Xiaohan , Tian Han , Zhu Libo , Li Shujing , Cui Xiangzhi
Published: May 2024

The application of electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) for renewable energy conversion contributes to the ultimate goal of a zero-carbon emission society. Metal phosphides have been considered as promising HER catalysts in the alkaline environment, which, unfortunately, is still limited owing to the weak adsorption of H* and easy dissolution during operation. Herein, a bimetallic NiCoP-2/NF phosphide is constructed on nickel foam (NF), requiring rather low overpotentials of 150 mV and 169 mV to meet the current densities of 500 and 1000 mA cm−2, respectively, and able to operate stably for 100 h without detectable activity decay. The excellent HER performance is obtained thanks to the synergetic catalytic effect between Ni and Co, among which Ni is introduced to enhance the intrinsic activity and Co increases the electrochemically active area. Meanwhile, the protection of the externally generated amorphous phosphorus oxide layer improves the stability of NiCoP/NF. An electrolyser using NiCoP-2/NF as both cathode and anode catalysts in an alkaline solution can produce hydrogen with low electric consumption (overpotential of 270 mV at 500 mA cm−2).

Authors: Cheung Isabella M. Y. , Horsburgh Simon , Smith Ewan , Simkin Samantha , Gokul Akilesh
Published: May 2024

Background: The paediatric use of ophthalmic chloramphenicol in New Zealand (NZ) is relatively high; however, little more is known about its utilisation, including whether this is equitable. This study aimed to describe chloramphenicol utilisation in NZ children aged five years and under, by patient ethnicity, socioeconomic deprivation, and urban/non-urban domicile. Methods: This analysis included every publicly subsidised chloramphenicol dispensing received from birth to five years of age, for every child born in NZ in 2013. Cumulative proportion of first exposure, dispensing rate per person-year, and seasonality of dispensing were quantified. These were calculated following stratification by ethnicity, socioeconomic deprivation quintile, and urban/non-urban health district. For cumulative proportion of first exposure, odds ratios (OR) were calculated and multivariate logistic regression was performed. For dispensing rate, incidence rate ratios (IRR) were calculated and zero-inflated Poisson regression was performed. Results: Almost one-quarter of NZ children received their first dispensing within the first year of life. By five years of age, 55.2% of children had received their first dispensing. By five years of age, children of Pacific ethnicity, those in the highest deprivation quintile, and in those non-urban health districts had lower odds of receiving chloramphenicol (adjusted OR 0.90, 0.79, and 0.81, respectively, all p < 0.001). In contrast, children of Māori ethnicity had higher odds (adjusted OR 1.99, p < 0.001). Māori and Pacific ethnicity, and residence in non-urban health districts, were associated with fewer dispensings (adjusted IRR 0.88, 0.75 and 0.87, all p < 0.001). In contrast, deprivation quintile was not significantly associated with dispensing rate. Conclusion: Chloramphenicol utilisation is prevalent among NZ children, and utilisation may be lower among children of Pacific ethnicity and those in non-urban areas

Authors: Brim-Dauterman Tonya , Rao Shantanu
Published: May 2024

(1) Objectives: A divergence in self- and preceptor-evaluations of clinical skills has been noted during Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs). The goal of this study was to determine the domains of overestimation of clinical skills by students during their APPE rotations. (2) Methods: Preceptor-assigned grades for APPE rotations from 2017–2022 were analyzed to identify instances of letter grade B or lower. The self- and preceptor-evaluations of APPE rotation were compared to determine the domains of divergence in evaluation between students and preceptors. (3) Results: Between 2017 and 2022, 305 student APPE rotations were graded as B or lower (~14%) by the preceptors. A statistically significant difference was noted between self- and preceptor-assigned letter grades across all practice settings including ambulatory patient care, community pharmacy, general medicine patient care, hospital/health system pharmacy, and special population patient care APPE rotations. In addition, examining the self- and preceptor evaluation rubric for these rotations revealed a statistically significant overestimation of clinical skills by students in all 9 domains of APPE evaluation. Finally, the divergence in the rating of clinical skills between student- and preceptor evaluation was found to be highest in the domains of planning and follow-up of patient care, disease knowledge, and communication with patients. (4) Conclusions: Students who fail to exhibit exemplary practice readiness during APPEs tend to overestimate their clinical skills in all domains of APPE evaluation. The results from our study support the need for additional avenues to assist in the identification of deficits in student learning before APPEs to increase their self-awareness (metacognition).
CEO’s Financial Background and Corporate Green Innovation
Authors: Guo Ruibing , Zhao Jun
Published: May 2024

Innovation is the primary driving force for development, and enterprises, as the main drivers of innovation, are an important part of implementing the national innovation strategy. This paper, combining the perspective of the enterprise lifecycle, thoroughly examines the differential impact of the CEO’s financial background on green innovation in enterprises at different stages of the lifecycle. This study finds that the CEO’s financial background has a significant inhibitory effect on green innovation in enterprises, and this conclusion holds true after multiple robustness tests. From the perspective of the lifecycle, it is found that when enterprises are in the mature stage, the CEO’s financial background has a strong inhibitory effect on innovation output. The impact of the CEO’s financial background on green innovation output in the growth stage is relatively weak, while there is no significant impact on green innovation in the declining period. Furthermore, based on the enterprise lifecycle, it is found that the CEO’s financial background has a stronger inhibitory effect on green innovation in non-state-owned enterprises and high-tech industries. The research findings of this paper have important theoretical value and practical significance for promoting green innovation in enterprises and implementing the national innovation strategy.

Arbitraging the Yield Curve: A Free Lunch?
Authors: Sánchez-Piñol Yulee Daniel
Published: May 2024

Banking crises can occur due to the mismatch of assets and liabilities. One of the main assumptions behind maturity mismatching is the incentive to arbitrage the yield curve in the market of loanable funds. Banks borrow at low rates and lend at higher rates to increase their profitability. The equilibrium in the evenly rotating economy (ERE) is a flat yield curve that equals the originary interest rate. This article challenges the notion that banks will always attempt to arbitrage the yield curve in a free market and explores how the price mechanism via interest rates acts as a brake to maturity mismatching. Maturity mismatching is a risky activity that is penalized through a higher cost of funding by different types of lenders. If this is true, it follows that a flat yield curve is not attainable in an uncertain world because financial intermediaries that engage in maturity mismatching will create a further spread between themselves and financial intermediaries that do not engage in this practice in the market of loanable funds. In addition, following Mises, the article discusses how economists should proceed with caution when applying equilibrium constructs, such as the ERE, which can disregard the function and properties, belonging to financial instruments such as debt and equity, of allocating risk in an uncertain world.
On the Ethics of Fair Value Accounting: Distributive Effects, Distributive Injustice, and Implications for Social Peace
Authors: Rapp David J. , Herbener Jeffrey M. , Gordon David
Published: May 2024

Fair value accounting is at the heart of arguably the world’s most prominent accounting standards, particularly US GAAP and IFRS. Fair value measurement has been the subject of intense debate. Among other things, it has been analyzed from an ethical perspective. However, this discussion has mainly been limited to the judgment involved in fair value measurement and the ethics of fair value in its ability to provide decision-useful information to interested parties. This study pushes the boundaries by adding a new dimension to the discussion of the ethics of fair value accounting by examining its ethics from a more systemic and societal perspective. Drawing on Austrian business cycle theory, it argues that fair value accounting facilitates certain distributive effects in inflationary monetary environments, thereby contributing to distributive injustice and potentially to social discord. In this respect, fair value accounting—in contrast to historical cost accounting—should not be considered fair or just, but unethical instead.

Airborne GNSS reflectometry for coastal monitoring of sea state
Authors: Moreno Mario
Published: May 2024

Sea level rise and sea state variability, resulting from climate change and global warming, are critical research areas. However, current techniques for observing and monitoring these phenomena have limitations in terms of spatial and temporal resolution, particularly in dynamic coastal zones. GNSS Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is an emerging bistatic radar-based technique that utilizes the GNSS direct (transmitter-receiver) and reflected (transmitter-reflection point-receiver) signals to extract properties of the reflecting surface. This study explores the potential of airborne GNSS-R as a means to monitor sea state in coastal areas by using the Doppler spread and reflectivity as observables. The paper aims to derive a sea state factor from the reflected signal power and the Doppler shift distribution to analyze its correlation with wind speed and significant wave height data obtained from the ERA5 model. The experiment involved four flights conducted along the coast between Calais and Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, in July 2019. A GNSS software receiver processes the direct and reflected signals, tracking and re-tracking the reflected signals with the aid of a specular reflection model. The resulting in-phase and quadrature components are analyzed in the spectral domain every minute to estimate the power, the surface reflectivity, and the relative Doppler shift. The findings reveal that the sea state factor and Doppler spreading are sensitive to sea state conditions, correlated with the ERA5 parameters, and influenced by the elevation angle of GNSS satellites. At low elevations (E<10°), the sea state factor demonstrates an inverse relationship (anti-correlation) with the wind speed and significant wave height, while the Doppler distribution shows a correlation with these parameters. Both correlations decrease with increasing elevation angle. This research underscores the potential of airborne GNSS-R for monitoring sea state variability in coastal areas enhancing our understanding of the relationships between GNSS-R measurements and sea state parameters.

El desarrollo de un corregimiento rural de Colombia y la opción del turismo
Authors:   , Renteria Valencia Franklin
Published: May 2024

Este trabajo tiene por objetivo analizar las condiciones de vida de los habitantes del corregimiento de Pacurita, del municipio de Quibdó, Departamento de Chocó, Colombia, mayoritariamente mineros y alternativamente agricultores. En particular, estudiar si la forma de vida de este territorio rural responde a los parámetros de la economía popular, definida como se verá luego por la realizada sin patrón por los sectores populares. En ese marco, entender si esa población es cuidadosa del ambiente o no, debido a que su actividad principal es la minería semimecanizada, que puede ser considerada contaminante. Y también si han intentado alternativas. Entre los resultados más interesantes se debe mencionar que la población trabaja mayoritariamente por cuenta propia en el marco de la economía doméstica, con bajo capital y escaso excedente, por lo cual sus tareas son realizadas claramente para garantizar la supervivencia. De lado de sus consumos, parecen estar satisfechos con sus niveles de vida, desean solo mejorar las condiciones mínimas. En cuanto al carácter contaminante de la producción, los vecinos reconocen que la minería como actualmente la realizan contamina pero no tienen otra forma de vida, la agricultura es aún más dura y fuertemente condicionada por el clima; manifiestan preocupación pero no tienen alternativa. El turismo surge como una posibilidad pero ésta no parece propia, hay desconocimiento, se espera que sea el Estado el que la impulse y no ven muy cercana una situación de ese tipo. Al escenario descripto se suma la baja participación y la pasividad política. Hay voces que se alzan pero no logran esa representación.
Decalogue for ensuring mediocrity of medical students and patient unsafety
Authors: COLLARES CARLOS FERNANDO
Published: May 2024

This satirical essay outlines ten ironic commandments designed to highlight flaws in current medical education practices. Through exaggerated emphasis on rote memorization, neglect of clinical reasoning, and prioritization of grades over true understanding, the essay critiques practices that foster superficial knowledge and professional stagnation. Additional commandments target the culture of burnout, disregard for teamwork, resistance to change, and ignoring social determinants of health. The essay underscores the detrimental effects of focusing solely on short-term performance, arbitrary standards, and cross-sectional assessments. By adhering to these commandments, medical institutions ensure a generation of physicians ill-prepared for the complexities of modern healthcare, ultimately compromising patient safety. The essay calls for comprehensive reform, advocating for a more holistic, collaborative, and adaptive approach to medical education.

Comparison theorem for systems of differential equations and its application to estimate the average time benefit from resource collection
Authors: Bazulkina A.A. , Rodina L.I.
Published: May 2024

One of the versions of the comparison theorem for systems of ordinary differential equations is proved, the consequence of which is the property of monotonicity of solutions with respect to initial data. We consider the problem of estimating the average time profit from resource extraction for a structured population consisting of individual species $x_1,\ldots,x_n$, or divided into $n$ age groups. We assume that the dynamics of the population in the absence of exploitation is given by a system of differential equations $\dot x =f(x)$, and at times $\tau(k)=kd$, $d>0$, a certain share of the biological resource is extracted from the population $u(k)=(u_1(k),\ldots,u_n(k))\in [0,1]^n$, $k=1,2,\ldots.$ It is shown that using the comparison theorem it is possible to find estimates of the average time benefit in cases when analytical solutions for relevant systems are not known. The results obtained are illustrated for models of interaction between two species, such as symbiosis and competition. It is shown that for models of symbiosis, commensalism and neutralism, the greatest value of the average time profit is achieved with the simultaneous exploitation of two types of resources. For populations between which an interaction of the “competition” type is observed, cases in which it is advisable to extract only one type of resource are highlighted.

Изложен многолетний опыт наблюдений за составом поверхностных сточных вод с различных участков селитебных территорий. Произведена оценка фактической загрязненности поверхностных сточных вод, формирующихся на территориях реальных объектов. Представлены результаты натурных испытаний и практической эксплуатации многокаскадных установок на основе фильтров ФОПС® на разных объектах в Санкт-Петербурге, поверхностные сточные воды с территорий которых сильно загрязнены и имеют сложный состав. Фактический состав поверхностных сточных вод с техногенно нагруженных селитебных территорий, испытывающих высокую транспортную нагрузку, существенно отличается от рекомендаций действующих нормативно-технических документов. Наиболее разработанной в техническом плане и позволяющей создавать многокаскадные (многоступенчатые) установки для комплексной очистки поверхностных сточных вод является сорбционно-фильтрационная технология, реализуемая с помощью фильтров ФОПС®.

Many years of experience in keeping track of the composition of surface runoff from various residential areas are described. An estimation was made of the actual contamination of surface runoff generated in the territories of tangible objects. The results of full-scale tests and practical operation of multi-stage units on the basis of FOPS® filters at various districts of St. Petersburg with heavily polluted surface runoff of a complex composition are presented. The actual composition of surface runoff from technogenic residential areas experiencing high traffic load differs significantly from the recommendations of current regulatory and technical documents. The sorption-filtration technology implemented with FOPS® filters has been a most technically developed technology that provides for designing multi-stage units for the integrated treatment of surface runoff.
Cultural intimacy, cultural distance: methodological aspects of anthropological research into Romanians in Poland
Authors: Sorescu-Marinković Annemarie , Nowicka Ewa
Published: May 2024

This study focuses on a comparison of two sets of in-depth, face-to-face interviews among Romanians living in Poland about their perceptions of the country and society, and their migrant experiences. The interviews were conducted five years apart, using the same guide, but carried out by Polish interviewers in the first case, and by a Romanian interviewer in the second. Comparative analysis of the material gained in this process reveals that, despite similar content in interviewee responses, the standing of the interviewer was by no means neutral. Crucial for the volume, type, and nature of the collected data – as well as for its interpretation – is the interviewer’s identity. In this regard, the study draws on Michael’s Herzfeld’s concept of ‘cultural intimacy’ to explain the mutual reproduction of different levels of identity and to develop a framework for analyzing the interaction between the social scientists and their interlocutors.
The legacy of a 20th-century cleric: a Catholic priest’s economic chronicles. Anthropological insights from written documents
Authors: Szikszai Mária
Published: May 2024

This study focuses on a unique collection of personal economic records and additional documents from the 20th century, belonging to a Catholic priest from Satu Mare County, Romania. The material is exceptional, as it represents a rare collection of written documents from the Hungarian-speaking region of the 20th century, authored by a Catholic priest. These records provide an in-depth look into the life of a priest, who, despite his clerical duties, maintained a strong connection to farming, a legacy from his farmer-herdsman parents of Swabian descent. The economic records, which span from 1949 to the 1960s, offer insights into the priest's personal and economic life. They include narratives about managing a parish, engaging in farming activities, and handling personal financial transactions. These documents not only reflect his efforts to balance religious responsibilities with agricultural interests but also illuminate the socio-economic conditions of the time. The study explores the priest's economic decisions, the value he placed on different assets, and his understanding of wealth in a changing society. It also examines the broader context of peasant embourgeoisement in 20th-century Romania, highlighting how a priest and his family navigated the transition from a traditional peasant lifestyle to a more bourgeois existence. This transition is evidenced by their adoption of modern goods and technologies, changes in family dynamics, and shifts in career strategies, reflecting the complex interplay between personal, economic, and social factors during a period of significant societal change. Overall, the paper offers a micro-historical perspective on the life of this 20th-century priest, providing valuable insights into his unique experiences and the broader socio-economic transformations of the era.
Historiographic imaginary and hypotheses of heredity in the configuration of Romanian cultural identity
Authors: Lionte-Ivan Ioana Alexandra
Published: May 2024

This paper analyses the ways in which Romanian culture struggles to forge, at the level of historical and cultural discourse, an identity, a “personality”, and a specificity. It observes, within the process of forging its identity through a series of avatars, the discursive strategies through which specificity is revealed as an essential form of national uniqueness as well as the compensatory trends of identity fabrication. The paper also attempts to highlight the forms of historical and literary mystification through which, over time, Romanian culture responded to complexes related to its age, identity, belatedness, heredity, legitimacy, etc. Thus, the analysis reveals that, in essence, all the efforts, complexes and myths through which an identity was negotiated at the level of the histories of literature and Romanian historiographical texts betray, in fact, the same spectrum of the Identity-Otherness dialectic. Romanian culture, like other emerging cultures, was forced, first to survive and, later, in order to have a potential for prosperity, to define itself as a distinct entity by relating to the surrounding cultural reality, its growth and evolution taking place either under the sign of antagonism (i.e. a refusal of allogeneic import), or under that of synchronism (as permeabilization with regard to foreign influence), but, necessarily, as a reference to the Other. Moreover, the paper highlights, at the discursive level, the two main poles that have obsessively polarized the questions of descent and heredity within Romanian culture: its Roman and Dacian ancestries. The nuanced intentions underpinning the cultural need for international recognition by means of belonging as well as differentiation are discussed in the process.
An overview on the 20th-century Central-European novel
Authors: Manolachi Monica
Published: May 2024

Over the past century, the history of Romanian literature has been dominated by nationalist approaches, necessary for the consolidation of a stable cultural identity. However, the concept of cultural identity involves changing and migratory components as well, many related to its links with other cultural identities, each of them with its own literature. This book review provides insights into the scholarly significance of Dicționarul romanului central-european din secolul XX [The Dictionary of Central European Novel in the 20th Century] coordinated by Adriana Babeți and edited by Oana Fotache, understood as a project that maps a transnational literary phenomenon. The study is examined for its uniqueness, specific linguistic diversity and multicultural scope: 250 entries about works initially published in one of the fourteen languages spoken in the region, including French and English as international languages, either part of the canon or more marginal and less known. Other reasons include its adequate combination of analysis and synthesis; the extensive team research carried out over three decades; and its socio-political relevance nowadays. The review highlights the historical, cultural, and academic contexts in which the dictionary was published, the avatars of the concept of Central Europe, several characteristics of the Central-European novel, and details about its structure, sections and features. The presentation mentions a few limitations about the availability of the titles in the languages of the region and the admitted gender imbalance and indicates several research audiences possibly interested in alternative ways of approaching novels in the context of globalization.
Decline of a national icon: Derogatory representations of the Romanian peasant in recent television programs
Authors: Șerbănuță Anca
Published: May 2024

Intellectuals and artists have been crafting an image of the Romanian peasant as the building block of the nation since the second half of the 19th century. The process went hand in hand with the modernization of the elites, and the peasant was thus mainly ‘discovered’ within the cultural framework of Romanticism, as the ‘eternal autochthon’ (Mihăilescu,2017, p.173), creator of the specific Kultur of the Romanian people.  However, dramatic social transformations such as the difficult transition period of the ʹ90s have shifted the focus from a complimentary representation of the peasant as the national foundation – and all the positive characteristics of his/her habitus in terms of material, spiritual and aesthetic values– to a rather alienated and anachronistic figure coming across as a burden that has to be carried into modernity by the enlightened social strata. This paper uses visual analysis, grounded in Barthesian semiotics, to explore the changes in modes of representation of the peasant in popular media from the depository of national values to a marginal lower class, striving to keep up with the urban lifestyle. Various portrayals of peasants in TV series and sketches, movies and memes point to the degradation of the peasant figure in the public imagination. Images of poverty, bad taste and a lack of hygiene seem to pollute the bodies, garments and home environments of the rural characters, with a toxic effect on their language and behaviour as well. Although there have always been derogatory images of the peasants in the discourse of the elites (Mihăilescu also coined the term ‘domestic primitive’ for the representation associated with the historical tendency to portray the peasants as a backward population incapable of progress), in recent times this tendency has prevailed, especially with the rural-themed successful TV series Las Fierbinți, for mainly ideological reasons which will be discussed. Thus, apart from deconstructing a national myth, I argue that the representation of contemporary peasants and their degenerating habitus also contributes to the polarization in the Romanian society.
Ființele ficționale: ce sunt și la ce folosesc
Authors: Buzatu Alina
Published: May 2024

My paper problematizes the (non)existence of the fictional beings, addressing a series of important theoretical questions and comparing some relevant (realist / antirealist) answers archived by the modern and contemporary conceptual history. I have examined contrastive philosophical perspectives that define the ontological condition of fictional beings, in an attempt to represent the specific difference of these imaginative constructs and their experiential roles. The argumentative stake of my concise research is to prove that, in the coordinates of the imaginative worlds, fictional beings, their behavior, language, emotions, intentions, help us „read” and interpret real life - they are cognitive tools of exceptional value.
