Mishima in viaggio (1951-1952)
Authors: Amitrano Giorgio
Published: October 2024

This contribution examines Mishima’s first trip abroad, undertaken as a correspondent for the Asahi shinbun between 1951 and 1952. The account of this experience is contained in Aporo no sakazuki, a sort of diary in which Mishima records his experiences at various stages of the journey, from Hawaii to Greece to Rome, through the United States, South America, England, and France.
It is a more diligent than passionate account, in which emotions emerge not so much from contact with people or nature, but from encountering art. While Mishima narrates his experiences in America and various European countries with a certain detachment, his senses come alive in Greece. The opportunity to closely contemplate the beauty of artworks previously known only indirectly intensifies his admiration. This experience, pushing Mishima towards a greater awareness of the physical dimension, will have significant repercussions on his career and life.
Cronache di una ricostruzione: Dai Tōkyō hanjōki (1927) e la Tokyo post-terremoto
Authors: Follaco Gala Maria
Published: October 2024

In my contribution, I analyse Dai Tōkyō hanjōki (Chronicles of Great Tokyo Flourishing, 1927) in an attempt to identify the salient features of a composite narrative pertaining to the Great Kantō Earthquake (1923) and the subsequent urban reconstruction efforts, as crafted by influential figures within the intellectual and artistic milieu.
I intend to show how certain authors within the collection juxtaposed or contrasted the elegiac tones with the intent of not only documenting the earthquake's impact on the urban landscape but also engaging in a critique of the ongoing social and cultural transformations. This tendency is observed, albeit sporadically and not always systematically, as a nod to the tradition to which the collection explicitly refers, that of hanjōki. This tradition is characterised by prioritising the subjective and critical perspective on urban and societal phenomena over the principles of pragmatic utility and objectivity.
Inculturazione religiosa o risoluzione dialettica? Fukai kawa (1993) e il Cattolicesimo di Endō Shūsaku nel contesto letterario del Giappone del Novecento
Authors: Tomasi Massimiliano
Published: October 2024

Catholic author Endō Shūsaku (1923-1996) has gained worldwide acclaim for his novels and short stories that explore the conflicts between ethnicity, faith, and native Japanese religious sensibilities. A number of international scholars have interpreted his works as an effort towards religious inculturation and a search for a form of Christianity that resonates more harmoniously with the Japanese spiritual landscape.
However, this article challenges such an interpretation, positing that Endō’s oeuvre primarily functions as a dialectical response to the prevailing discursive paradigms of the past, rather than being a conscious attempt at evangelisation. In particular, I argue that his final work, Fukai kawa (Deep River, 1993), stands as a tangible testament to his deliberate attempt to propose an all-encompassing religious pluralism capable of overcoming the binary divisions inherited from earlier literary debates.
Alcune osservazioni sull’evoluzione dell’uso dei segni diacritici nell’ortografia del giapponese: dakuten, handakuten e fudakuten
Authors: Calvetti Paolo
Published: October 2024

Modern Japanese spelling conventions incorporate diacritical marks known as dakuten and handakuten. These marks are used to indicate voiced consonants and the presence of the voiceless bilabial plosive /p/, respectively.
In this paper, I will outline the historical process that led to the formation of this diacritical mark system in its present form, providing an overview of the development and stabilization of Japanese orthography.
paru o faru? Sulla realizzazione fonetica del fonema /*p/ nella lingua giapponese dei periodi Nara e Heian
Authors: Pappalardo Giuseppe
Published: October 2024

Starting with Hashimoto's work in 1928 and continuing until recent times, the prevailing belief was that the reflex of the phoneme /*p/ of Proto-Japanese was a bilabial fricative [ɸ] as early as the Nara period. This perspective had widespread acceptance. In this paper, I intend to outline the key studies on this topic, particularly those that have critiqued Hashimoto's hypothesis. Special emphasis will be given to Wenck’s theory from 1959, which, despite receiving limited recognition within Japanese scholarship, has significantly contributed to the fields of Japanese philology and phonological research.
Moreover, to support the theory suggesting [p] as the most archaic phonetic value, I will provide a detailed account of the reflexes of /*p/ and the underlying diachronic changes in the contemporary language varieties found in the Ryūkyū Islands. Ultimately, this paper will conclude by identifying the phonetic values of the discussed phoneme in Old and Late Middle Japanese, both at the word initial and word medial positions, based on the most viable and phonologically plausible theories available.
Ripensare la continuità: la periodizzazione del dopoguerra nel dibattito storiografico giapponese
Authors: Lanna Noemi
Published: October 2024

In the early 1970s some Japanese historians embarked on a critical examination of the overwhelmingly positive evaluation of the reforms, most notably Land reform, implemented by the Allied Forces during the Occupation period (1945-52) which had hitherto been predominant. This marked the initial step towards reevaluating the impact of the Occupation on Japanese institutions and, on a broader scale, prompted a reexamination of the discontinuity between the prewar and postwar period. What was at stake in this long-lasting debate was the very definition of “postwar”.
This essay delves into the pivotal phases of this debate, aiming to shed light on how the concept of continuity evolved into an essential reference point within the historical debate and how this impacted on the peculiar application of the category of “postwar” to Japanese contemporary history.
Tre secoli di Mito Kōmon: la sfida televisiva tra restyling e costruzione dei personaggi
Authors: Mastrangelo Matilde
Published: October 2024

It is widely recognised that in Japan, the depiction of historical figures has been a recurring theme in both oral and written narratives, as well as various theatrical productions. One historical figure that has been a particularly rich source of inspiration is the daimyō Tokugawa Mitsukuni, whose stories have been told across different genres and disseminated through various forms of media. The chronicles of Tokugawa Mitsukuni’s journeys throughout Japan to dispense justice by punishing villains can be traced back to the late 18th century, when they first emerged in kōdan oral storytelling performances.
Among the diverse artistic interpretations, this essay focuses specifically on the unique aspects of TV adaptations. It begins with the examination of Mito Kōmon, a television series broadcasted from 1969 to 2011 for six months each year. It then moves on to discuss the new adaptations of 2017 and 2019, which brought the venerable character back to the screen with altered narrative settings. These adaptations provide an intriguing lens through which to explore the evolving portrayal of Tokugawa Mitsukuni and his enduring impact on popular culture.
Fra Mediterraneo e Giappone. Suggestioni nipponiche nel Parco Filothei di Dimitri Pikionis, Atene, 1961-1964
Authors: Volpe Andrea Innocenzo
Published: October 2024

In the later stages of his career, Dimitris Pikionis embraced a new commission, that of crafting a children's park. This endeavour provided him with an opportunity to revisit and expand upon the thematic elements he had skilfully employed in his design for the Acropolis. The Filothei park emerged as an embodiment of an analogous Arcadia, a realm where the interplay between nature and architecture remained intricately intertwined. Pikionis’s design sought to recapture a sense of unity that had been gradually eroded by the distractions of modernity.
By integrating his signature Doric archaisms, he achieved a striking manifestation of the primaeval hut – a symbolically powerful element that transcends time and evokes the essence of human habitation in its most primitive form. Pikionis’s notion of an imagined Japan, depicted through a Mediterranean lens, further expanded the park's significance.

Authors: Doskich Liudmyla
Published: October 2024

The purpose of the article is to analyze the role of the school library in the digital transformation of modern education.
It was concluded that the current conceptual educational system is implemented in three main directions: digitization of the educational process; digital educational content; digitalization of educational management. And it is the modern school library that is able to implement the task of digitalization of the educational environment and ensure the information needs of its participants. Thus, digitization becomes an important and integral component of the activity of a modern school library and an opportunity for the development of education.
The school library follows the path of creating digital educational content, provides and coordinates the information service of the educational institution, and the educational process — informational and methodical literature, works according to the strategic directions of the school's development.
Digitization of the school library requires consistency in implementation and a comprehensive approach as important criteria for the success of modern education due to: expanding the possibilities of the educational trajectory; access to the most modern educational resources; spreading the circle of educational organizations around the world; expansion of children's educational opportunities; cost reduction due to increased competition in the educational market; increasing transparency and facilitating communication with all participants of the educational process.

The features of the theoretical training of the ancient Roman military
Authors: Oliynyk Mykola
Published: October 2024

The purpose of the article. To investigate the specifics of the training of senior officers of the Roman army in the Late Republican period and the Early Principate. To outline the peculiarities of the study of military theory by the senior command staff of the legion, as well as to prove the probability of the existence of specialized libraries among the Roman elite, which consisted of the works of Greek and Roman authors of the genre of military literature. Research methodology. The research methodology: comparative, analysis, synthesis and analytical analysis. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the problem of military education in Ancient Rome was comprehensively investigated for the first time. In particular, the peculiarities of the study of the theory of military affairs not only by representatives of the highest military command — those from the nobility, but also by "new people" (homines novi) — representatives of the riding class (equites) are analyzed. Conclusions. It has been proven that the senior officers were not illiterate in military affairs and quite successfully coped with the assigned tasks — both in the administrative field and on the battlefield. It is also determined that the responsibilities of the senior officers of the Roman army, in particular military commanders, in addition to knowledge and skills in the field of military art, also included understanding the psychology of ordinary soldiers and the art of eloquence (rhetoric). The latter was acquired not so much from experience as from studying the works of Greek orators and philosophers.

Technological advancements directly influence the field of education, particularly shifting the paradigm of interaction between teachers and students. This influence demands teachers to innovate and create using available technology. Teacher creativity significantly impacts the quality of the learning process. Learning media supports the learning process and holds a crucial position within the educational system. Without media, communication during learning processes becomes less engaging, potentially making learning less appealing and boring. Utilizing audio-visual-based letter card media to enhance student memory skills at the PAUD Al-Ikhtiar, teachers and students can easily utilize these cards during their learning process. This enhances teachers' understanding and ability to use audio-visual letter-based media effectively, creating a more enjoyable learning environment and improving students' memory, thereby enhancing children's interest in reading. The method employed in this community service program includes participatory training in utilizing learning media. The program's execution involves a team approach with university faculty members assigned to assist teachers, ensuring the training's optimal implementation. Implementation methods encompass activity coordination, resource preparation, execution, and evaluation. The results of the community service initiative were met with enthusiasm and motivation among participants. Practically, it can be concluded that 88% of training participants have effectively developed the Linktree learning media.

Effects of Lutein on the Body Weights, Hepato-renal DNA and Antioxidant Capacity Following Paraquat-induced Toxicity in Wistar Rats
Authors: Adefola Edward Tolulope , John Ajibade Adeshina , Sunday Edward Sylvester
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Paraquat is a leading cause of herbicide-related fatalities worldwide. Its high mortality rate is attributed to its inherent generation of ROS-mediated toxicity, and lack of effective treatment till date. Lutein is an antioxidant with free radical scavenging ability, which may contribute to its protective effects and possible DNA preservation. Objective: The study is evaluating the effects of lutein on body weights and hepato-renal antioxidant capacity with DNA quantification following paraquat toxicity in wistar rats. Methods: Thirty-five male Wistar rats (150-180g) rats were randomly divided into five equal groups (A-E). Paraquat toxicity was induced in Groups B-E with 5mg/kg for three days. Group A received normal saline only, while Group B was given paraquat only. Thereafter, Groups C-E received varying doses of lutein (50, 100, 150mg/kg) for 21 days. Their body weights were recorded twice weekly using a digital balance. The animals were sacrificed and their liver with kidneys were excised and processed. The photomicrographs were taken at various magnifications while Image J software was employed for DNA densities. The total antioxidant capacity (TAC) was assessed by Prieto method. Results: There was significant reductions in the body weights, (p=0.00) hepato-renal DNA densities (p=0.00, p=0.01) and antioxidant capacities of the PQ-only group relative to the positive control A in both liver and kidneys (p-0.01, p=0.02). However, the lutein-treated groups had dose-dependent similar features with the control, which had normal histo-morphological feature. The highest dose of lutein showed the best correlation with the control. Conclusion: This study showed significant alterations in body weights, hepato-renal DNA densities and antioxidant capacities especially in the PQ-only group. Meanwhile, the lutein-treated groups, especially at high dosages, showed significant improvements in the indices similar to the control. Hence, lutein may be a useful agent for attenuating paraquat toxicity.

Published: October 2024

This paper empirically investigated the relationship between User-Generated Contents and Brand Loyalty of Skincare Products in Port Harcourt. Specifically, the objectives of the study were to determine how user authenticity and user engagement rate relate with customer satisfaction and repeat patronage of skincare products in Port Harcourt. The correlational research design was adopted and the population of the study was infinite. Topman’s formula was used to generate a sample size of 384 customers. However, only 262 respondents provided data for the study through questionnaire that was designed in the Likert 5-point scale of strongly disagree to strongly agree. Spearman Correlation (rho) was used to four hypotheses. From results of the analysis it was revealed that user authenticity and user engagement rate which are the proxies of user-generated contents positively and significantly relate with customer satisfaction and repeat patronage (i.e. measures of brand loyalty) of skincare products in Port Harcourt. Based on these findings, it was concluded that both factors have a very strong and positive impact on customer loyalty, with authenticity playing a particularly crucial role in shaping customer perceptions and trust. The strong relationship between user engagement and repeat patronage further highlights the importance of fostering active and meaningful interactions with customers. Therefore, the study recommended amongst others that skincare brands should encourage genuine customer reviews and testimonials by creating platforms where customers feel comfortable sharing their honest experiences. Authentic content resonates more with potential buyers, fostering trust and leading to higher customer satisfaction and repeat purchases.

Published: October 2024

Zainacin Dadin duniya is known for its antioxidant and liver-protecting properties. This research assesses the phytochemical characteristics and impact of Zainacin Dadin Duniya water extract on growth and hematological factors in Wister rats with acetaminophen-induced liver damage. 60 female and 30 male rats were divided into five groups with each group consisting of 18 rats selected randomly. Group 1 received saline, group 2 received a liver medicine, group 3 received acetaminophen, group 4 received a daily dose of aqueous extract at 500 mg/kg, and group 5 received a daily dose of aqueous extract at 500 mg/kg along with 3 ml/day of acetaminophen, all administered for 28 days. The animals were weighed before and following the experiment. The hematological parameters were determined, including packed Cell Volume (PCV), Red blood Cell (RBC), Haemoglobin (Hb), Mean Cell Volume (MCV), and White Blood Cell (WBC). Findings indicated that the extract contains a considerable quantity of phytochemicals. Findings indicated a notable weight gain (P<0.05) in Groups 1, 2, 4, and 5 and weight reduction in Group 3. In Group 3, there was a significant decrease in erythrocyte counts (4.29%), packed cell volume (33.00%), and hemoglobin (6.17%) values, while there was an increase in leukocyte (9.62%) and Mean Cell Volume (54.33%) values compared to the other groups. The presence of acetaminophen in the treatment given to Group 3 rats could lead to a decline in their growth performance and trigger adverse reactions in their blood parameters, potentially impacting their overall development. The segment may act as a strong remedy for acetaminophen-induced hepatocytes by blocking those reactive oxygen species.

Salah satu penyebab pemanasan global adalah gas rumah kaca (GRK).  Komposisi utama pada gas rumah kaca adalah karbon dioksida (CO2), metana (CH4), dan dinitrogen oksida (N2O) yang memiliki kemampuan untuk menahan panas di atmosfer.  Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji potensi emisi mulai dari menghitung beban dan harga emisi serta seberapa besar potensi elektrifikasi angkutan umum di Kota Palembang.  Analisis potensi elektrifikasi angkutan umum di Kota Palembang menggunakan metode Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), dengan 10 kriteria yang dinilai oleh 6 ahli.  Perhitungan metode Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) dibagi menjadi 2 (dua) perhitungan yaitu perhitungan menggunakan perangkat lunak Microsoft Excel dan aplikasi Expert Choice versi 11.0.  Hasilnya menunjukkan potensi elektrifikasi sebesar 53,79% dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak Microsoft Excel dan 53,3% dengan menggunakan aplikasi Expert Choice versi 11.0.  Selain itu, terdapat 5 kriteria prioritas yaitu fitur keselamatan (19,2%), harga unit (16,8%), biaya perawatan (16,3%), kenyamanan (12,0%), dan infrastruktur pengisian (8,3%). Tantangan utama dalam elektrifikasi adalah harga unit, biaya perawatan, infrastruktur pengisian, dan waktu pengisian, di mana kendaraan berbahan bakar minyak lebih unggul pada kriteria tersebut. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah perlu meningkatkan kualitas dan kuantitas dari keempat kriteria ini untuk mendukung elektrifikasi dan meningkatkan manfaat lingkungan

This research develops a prototype of a lamp setting
system in a chicken incubator using DHT11 and Arduino Uno R3 sensors. The purpose of this system is to control the temperature and humidity inside the incubator automatically to create optimal conditions for hatching chicken eggs. The DHT11 sensor serves to measure temperature and humidity, while the Arduino Uno R3 is used as a microcontroller that processes data and regulates the heating lamp. This system
works by comparing the sensor measurement results with a set setpoint value. If the temperature or humidity is outside the desired limits, the Arduino will turn the heating light on or off to return the ambient conditions to the optimal range. Tests show that this system is effective in maintaining the appropriate temperature and humidity, thus increasing the success rate of hatching chicken eggs. The results of this study show that the prototype developed can be a practical and efficient solution for theprocess of hatching chicken eggs

The service team carried out a community service program because the juvenile drug problem was already very worrying. The community really hopes that schools can prevent the harm and spread of drugs. However, there are several problems faced by the partner school, SMPN 1 Kras, including: the teacher council lacks the capacity and understanding of drug problems and dangers; lack of training and media socialization and education about the dangers of drugs; and lack of media development and socialization and education facilities about the dangers of drugs in partner schools. Departing from these problems, the service team provides solutions through community service activities, namely: a) Providing education to adolescents about: Dangers of Drugs and How to Avoid Drugs through training and seminars on the dangers of drugs, b) Improving the ability of adolescents to develop media used for socialization of the dangers of drugs. This service activity will be carried out for three days through training and socialization methods or methods. The results of the activity are known that there is an increase in understanding of various types of drugs, the impact on adolescents, and how to prevent them, Increasing the ability of adolescents, BK teachers, and homeroom teachers in making socialization and education media on the dangers of drugs using or utilizing social media, Building synergy of cooperation between partners and the service team of the BK study program of SMPN 1 KRAS in preventing the dangers of drugs for students at SMPN 1 KRAS in particular and the revitalization of the existence and role of PIK R in SMPN 1 KRAS to educate teenagers about the dangers of drugs.Keywords: NAPZA; Socialization; Adolescent.
Isotretinoin-associated chronic diarrhea as a complication of systemic isotretinoin therapy
Authors: Memiş Ali Can , Düzenli Tolga , Kiyak Mevlüt
Published: October 2024

Objective: Isotretinoin is a synthetic derivative of vitamin A that is highly effective in treating acne vulgaris. Although its common side effects include skin dryness, photosensitivity, epistaxis, and depressive disorders, gastrointestinal side effects should also be considered, though they are less frequently highlighted.
Case: We aim to present a 28-year-old female patient who developed chronic diarrhea and associated hypokalemic paralysis during isotretinoin treatment, prescribed for acne management. This case underlines the importance of recognizing gastrointestinal side effects, alongside the more commonly known adverse effects of isotretinoin.
Conclusion: Chronic diarrhea is a rare but significant side effect of isotretinoin that may lead to serious complications such as hypokalemic paralysis. In this case, we demonstrated how isotretinoin can cause metabolic imbalances, even in relatively healthy young adults, by inducing diarrhea. While the association between isotretinoin and inflammatory bowel disease remains inconclusive, clinicians should remain vigilant regarding the gastrointestinal side effects of isotretinoin. Early recognition and discontinuation of the drug, combined with appropriate supportive treatments, are essential in preventing further complications. Dermatologists and gastroenterologists should collaborate in identifying patients at higher risk, such as those with pre-existing gastrointestinal conditions, and closely monitor for any adverse effects during isotretinoin treatment. Future studies, particularly large-scale randomized controlled trials, are needed to better understand the relationship between isotretinoin and gastrointestinal side effects.

Paciente do sexo feminino, 43 anos, classificado como ASA I, foi encaminha ao consultório particular de um endodontista. Ao exame clínico observou-se, presença de dor na percussão vertical e horizontal, resposta negativa ao teste de sensibilidade pulpar a frio realizado com gás refrigerante Endofrost -50°C (Roeko, Langenau, Alemanha).  Após a realização radiográfico, constatou-se rarefação óssea periapical extensa, sugerindo cisto periapical no dente 22. Após abertura coronária houve drenagem via canal radicular. O preparo do canal foi realizado com instrumentos rotatórios Logic (40.01 e 40.05). Como a suspeita era de cisto periapical, o desbridamento foraminal foi feito com instrumento 45.01, três milímetros além forame, facilitando a drenagem do líquido acumulado na região periapical. A medicação intracanal foi feita com Ultracal por 15 dias e como a drenagem persistia, renovou-se com pasta de hidróxido de cálcio associada ao iodofórmio por 30 dias.  A obturação do canal radicular foi executada pela técnica do cone único associado ao cimento endodôntico biocerâmico Bio-C Sealer. O controle foi feito após 6 meses da conclusão da terapia. Conclui-se que o tratamento endodôntico convencional realizado dentro das normas técnicas é suficiente para determinar o sucesso da terapia, permitindo uma neoformação óssea periapical com formação de osso medular.
“Exploring Social Class and Gender Roles in Jane Austen's Novels”
Authors: - Laxmikant Karal
Published: October 2024

This paper explores the intricate interplay of social class and gender roles in the novels of Jane Austen, a seminal figure in early 19th-century literature. Through her richly developed characters and astute social critiques, Austen illuminates the constraints imposed by class stratification and gender expectations in a rapidly changing England. By examining key works such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Sense and Sensibility, the paper highlights how Austen navigates the complexities of identity, agency, and societal norms. The analysis reveals that while marriage serves as a critical means of economic security for women, it also underscores the limitations of their choices within a patriarchal framework. Ultimately, Austen’s narratives advocate for personal integrity and emotional authenticity, suggesting that character transcends social boundaries. This study not only reaffirms Austen's relevance in contemporary discussions of class and gender but also invites readers to reflect on the enduring impact of societal structures on individual lives.
