Sustainable Synthesis of CuInS2@MIL-101(Cr) Composite: Nanoarchitectonics for Improved Photocatalytic Performance
Authors: Nguyen Hong Van , Nguyen Manh , Pham Xuan Nui , Doan Huan
Published: April 2023

This study demonstrates the sustainable synthesis of multifunctional
CIS@MIL-101(Cr) composites for water treatment applications. The
composites were prepared via hybridization of CuInS2 with MIL-101(Cr)
resulting in the formation of CIS nanoplates incorporated into
MIL-101(Cr). The composites exhibited high visible light photocatalytic
activity due to their low band gap energy and were tested for
tetracycline photodegradation achieving a degradation efficiency of
98.8%. The material showed high stability after four cycles, and the
effects of reactive species on photodegradation were investigated. The
kinetics and mechanism of the photocatalytic process were studied, and
HPLC-MS analysis was conducted to identify intermediate products. These
results demonstrate the potential of using waste PET to create new
semiconductors for water pollution control, promoting a circular
material pathway.

Published: April 2023

The current research was designed to assess degree of sediment
contamination by heavy metal in the Thamirabarani River by using
pollution indicators and multivariate statistical methods. Between
September 2020 and August 2021, seasonal basis sediment samples are
collected from five distinct locations and subjected to standardised
analysis. These statistical techniques, including Two-way ANOVA, Pearson
Correlation Index, PCA and CA., were demonstrated the research. The
quality of sediment needs to be better understanding about the
statistical methods. Three factors that account for 95.4% of the data’s
total variation were found using PCA.The sediment’s heavy metal
contamination were distributed in the following sequence Fe
> Mn > Cu > Zn > Al
> Cd > Ni. The contamination was evaluated
pollution indicators method such EF, CF, Igeo and PLI. Estimated EF
values show that there is a noticeable enrichment of pollutants in
copper (Cu). Therefore, river water can be used for irrigation securely,
but it need to go through a lot of processing is necessary before for
home uses in order to avoid negative public health effects.
Impact of the mare colostral immunoglobulins on the expression of TLR3, TLR4 and TLR7 in foals.
Authors: Migdał Anna , Migdal Lukasz , Oczkowicz Maria , Tombarkiewicz Barbara , Okolski Adam
Published: April 2023

Background: Colostrum contains substances such as hormones, enzymes,
polyamides, nucleic acid derivatives and amino acid derivatives. Their
range also includes immunomodulating substances, proline-rich
polypeptides (PRP), immunoglobulins as well as bacteriostatic compounds.
Based on its biological properties as well as the influence of Toll-like
receptors on immune response traits of farm animals and humans, we
hypothesised that gene expression for Toll-like receptors in foals is
dependent on the quality of colostrum. Objectives: The aim of the study
was to evaluate the impact of the quality of colostrum on the level of
expression of selected Toll-like receptor genes (TLR3, TLR4, and TLR7).
Study design: The experiments were conducted on 25 foals Polis Pony
breed. Blood samples were collected up to 30 days of age according to
the following scheme: before first suckling, at the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 10th,
20th, and 30th, day of age. Colostrum was obtained before the first
suckling, 24 hr and 3 days after the delivery. Methods: Gene expression
analyses were performed on Illumina Eco using a commercial kit
TaqMan®MGB probes. The quality of colostrum was assessed using an
optical refractometer. Total immunoglobulin level was calculated from
the spectrophotometric method. Immunoglobulin G level were measured
using ELISA assay Microplate Reader using 96-well plates coated with
monoclonal antibodies against equine IgG. Results: The quality of
colostrum significantly correlated with TLR4 and TLR7 expression. Foals
that ingested colostrum with low immunoglobulin content displayed higher
level of TLR4 gene expression, while in case of TLR7 the opposite trend
was shown. Main limitations: It is likely that fat and the proportion of
individual fatty acids in colostrum affect the action of membrane
Toll-like receptors Conclusions: The expression of genes for TLR3 and
TLR4 in peripheral blood is dependent on immunoglobulin concentration in
mammary gland secretion suckled by foals.
Assessing MMN and P3b reliably within-participant -- a comparison between the local-global paradigm and two specialized oddball sequences.
Authors: Rutiku Renate , Fiscone Chiara , Massimini Marcello , Sarasso Simone
Published: April 2023

Mismatch negativity (MMN) and P3b are well known for their clinical
utility. There exists no gold standard, however, to acquire these
markers. This may explain why the within-individual sensitivity of
MMN/P3b is often quite poor and why seemingly identical markers can
behave differently across studies. Here we compare two traditional
paradigms for MMN or P3b assessment with the recently more popular
local-global paradigm which promises to assess MMN and P3b orthogonally
within one oddball sequence. All three paradigms were administered to
healthy participants (N=15) with concurrent EEG. A clear MMN and local
effect were found for 15/15 participants. The P3b and global effect were
found for 14/15 and 13/15 participants, respectively. There were no
systematic differences between the global effect and P3b. Indeed, P3b
amplitude was highly correlated across paradigms. The local effect
differed clearly from the MMN, however. It occurred earlier compared to
MMN and was followed by a much more prominent P3a effect. The two sets
of peak latencies and amplitudes were also not correlated across
paradigms. We conclude that the local-global paradigm is effective in
evoking the traditional P3b component, but it does not capture the MMN.
Caution should therefore be exercised when comparing the local effect
and MMN across studies. Nevertheless, the within-individual sensitivity
of both MMN and the local effect was satisfactory. The within-individual
sensitivity of P3b was lower than expected in a healthy control group,
which may explain the often-low sensitivity of P3b in patients with
disorders of consciousness.
Aggregation-Induced Emission Polymers via Reversible-Deactivation Radical Polymerization
Authors: Teo Nicholas , Fan Bo , Ardana Aditya , Thang San
Published: April 2023

Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) is a unique phenomenon whereby
aggregation of molecules induces fluorescence emission as opposed to the
more commonly known Aggregation-Caused Quenching (ACQ). AIE has the
potential to be utilized in the large-scale production of AIE-active
polymeric materials because of their wide range of practical
applications such as stimuli-responsive sensors, biological imaging
agents, and drug delivery systems. This is evident from the increasing
number of publications over the years since AIE was first discovered. In
addition, the ever-growing interest in this field has led many
researchers around the world to develop new and creative methods in the
design of monomers, initiators and crosslinkers, with the goal of
broadening the scope and utility of AIE polymers. One of the most
promising approaches to the design and synthesis of AIE polymers is the
use of the Reversible-Deactivation Radical Polymerization (RDRP)
techniques, which enabled the production of well-controlled AIE
materials that are often difficult to achieve by other methods. In this
review, a summary of some recent works that utilize RDRP for AIE polymer
design and synthesis is presented, including (1) the design of
AIE-related monomers, initiators/crosslinkers; the achievements in
preparation of AIE polymers using (2) Reversible Addition-Fragmentation
Chain Transfer (RAFT) technique; (3) Atom Transfer Radical
Polymerization (ATRP) technique; (4) other techniques such as Cu(0)-RDRP
technique and Nitroxide-Mediated Polymerization (NMP) technique; (5) the
possible applications of these AIE polymers and finally (6) a
summary/perspective and the future direction of AIE polymers.
Assessing Outcomes in Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Scenarios Shortly After Deployment
Authors: Hueholt Daniel M. , Barnes Elizabeth A. , Hurrell James Wilson , Richter Jadwiga H. , Sun Lantao
Published: April 2023

Current global actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are very
likely to be insufficient to meet the climate targets outlined under the
Paris Agreement. This motivates research on possible methods for
intervening in the Earth system to minimize climate risk while
decarbonization efforts continue. One such hypothetical climate
intervention is stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), where reflective
particles would be released into the stratosphere to cool the planet by
reducing solar insolation. The climate response to SAI is not well
understood, particularly on short-term time horizons frequently used by
decision makers and planning practitioners to assess climate
information. This knowledge gap limits informed discussion of SAI
outside the scientific community. We demonstrate two framings to explore
the climate response in the decade after SAI deployment in modeling
experiments with parallel SAI and no-SAI simulations. The first framing,
which we call a snapshot around deployment, displays change over time
within the SAI scenarios and applies to the question “What happens
before and after SAI is deployed in the model?” The second framing, the
intervention impact, displays the difference between the SAI and no-SAI
simulations, corresponding to the question “What is the impact of a
given intervention relative to climate change with no intervention?” We
apply these framings to annual mean 2-meter temperature, precipitation,
and a precipitation extreme in the first two experiments to use large
ensembles of Earth system models that comprehensively represent both the
SAI injection process and climate response, and connect these results to
implications for other climate variables.

Published: April 2023

Based on the Density Functional Theory (DFT) electronic band structure, state
density, linear optics, elastic, dynamic and thermodynamic properties of
??-SrTa2O6 crystal with P4/mbm (No. 127) space group were investigated with
the help of ABINIT and Wien2k code. In the study, it was found that the
??-SrTa2O6 crystal is classified as a semiconductor with an indirect
bandgap. For this crystal, the dielectric function was obtained and optical
constants such as energy loss function, extinction coefficient, absorption
coefficient and reflectivity were calculated. The components of the elastic
stiffness tensor, the phonon dispersion, the state density and the
contribution of each atom to the state density were obtained. Finally,
thermodynamic properties were determined for the ??-SrTa2O6 crystal.
Furthermore, the changes in free energy (F), internal energy (E), entropy
(S) and heat capacity (C) depending on the temperature were investigated.

Authors: Isidorio Daysianne , Santos Érick , Filho Arquimedes , da Silveira , Eltom Amal , de Biasi
Published: April 2023

Supercapacitors are energy storage devices that can cleanly and efficiently
meet the growing energy demand. The presentwork describes the synthesis of
nanoparticles of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) by the combustion method and their
use with activated carbon (AC) to manufacture supercapacitors. In order to
study the influence of composition on the electrochemical properties,
supercapacitors with three different compositions were produced: Fe90 (90%
CoFe2O4 and 10% AC), Fe50 (50% CoFe2O4 and 50% AC) and Fe10 (10% CoFe2O4 and
90% AC). Microstructural and morphological analyses were performed by X-ray
diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission
electronmicroscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy. Cyclic voltam-metry (CV),
galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), floating and electrochemical impedance
spectroscopy (EIS) tests were performed. XRD, SEM, TEM and Raman results
showed that the combustion method was effective for the production of
CoFe2O4 nanoparticles. SEM and Raman spectroscopy results showed that the AC
has a porous structure and low crystallinity. According to CV, GCD and
floating tests, all three supercapacitors presented excellent
electrochemical stability. The Fe50 composition yielded the lowest
equivalent series resistance, while the Fe10 composition yielded the highest
capacitance. The results show that the combination of AC with CoFe2O4 is
promising for the use in supercapacitors.

Published: April 2023

The present study examines the links between personality traits, leisure activities, and memory in older adults after controlling for leisure activities and demographic factors. The research sample consisted of 24,930 individuals aged 65 to 101 years from 27 European countries (43.2% men and 56.8% women). Data from the 7th Wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe was analyzed. Memory was assessed using a modified version of Rey’s Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT). Personality traits were assessed using the BFI-10 Personality Traits Questionnaire. Data analysis revealed that personality traits such as openness to experience and neuroticism allow for the prediction of memory capacity in older adulthood. These relationships remained significant even after controlling for cognitively stimulating leisure activities and age. These results show that personality traits such as neuroticism and openness to experience might be valuable in predicting memory functioning among older adults.

The development of modern information-communication technologies has enabled the development of electronic knowledge distribution channels that expand the effective level of general and specialist education. This trend is also present in higher education because higher education institutions and institutes increasingly rely on the use of modern information-communication technologies in their operations. The effects of the use of personal computers, the Internet and global social networks are multiple in the higher education system as well. In the process of acquiring new knowledge, developing creativity, as well as ensuring greater activity in the process of education, new learning technologies, with the use of multimedia systems, created the prerequisites for the engagement of all individual and collective resources. The most important source of the state’s competitive advantage is the ability to educate and retain highly educated personnel in the field of information technologies. From that aspect, the paper discusses information technologies as a scientific discipline and general conditions for education in the field of information technologies. The impact of technical and pedagogical changes on education in this area is analyzed with particular attention. It is known that information technologies are suitable for vocational education, and the modern environment sets specific requirements regarding the applicability of knowledge acquired in higher education institutions. The dynamic and turbulent market emphasizes the applicability of knowledge as a key requirement in the educational process. These short researches propose new educational modules that should structure teaching in the field of information technologies in accordance with the global demand in this sector. Every society strives for a more efficient and economical system of education, and therefore the issue of the use of new information technologies in education comes down to the problem of creating a theoretically ideal model of the use of these technologies at all levels of education and work.

In an attempt to examine the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affected the lives of primary school students, a longitudinal study was conducted focused on students’ school satisfaction and life satisfaction, and their perception of the support provided by their teachers. The study was conducted in two waves, within the period of two years – the first one before the pandemic, and the second one upon its end, that is, when the students returned to classes in school. The study encompassed 548 students in total, attending third to eighth grades of primary school in the Republic of Croatia. 267 students participated in both waves of the study. The quantitative approach was applied. The results revealed statistically significant differences in students’ perception of teacher support, and the level of their school satisfaction and life satisfaction. Students seem to have been more satisfied with school, life and teacher support before the pandemic. An additional analysis of the differences between generations of students (2019 and 2021) was conducted. Although the younger generation seem to give a lower rating to all the examined variables, in comparison to the generation of 2019, the results reveal statistically significant differences only in life satisfaction (grades 4, 5 and 7) and teacher support (grades 5 and 6). The limitations of the study, as well as implications for future research and educational practice are discussed.

The pandemic of the COVID-19 virus initiated a rapid organizational transformation of teaching at all levels of education and its implementation in a virtual environment. In this context, teachers’ perceptions of the predictors of online teaching largely determined the quality of its current implementation, but also the character of its further application in the future. Using the survey method, research was carried out with the aim of examining the attitudes of teachers in Serbia about personal predictors of online teaching and their determinants, in the past two school years. Personal predictors of online teaching are operationalized through the cognitive and affective competence of the teachers, as well as through organizational and technical support. Six hundred and seven teachers, who teach in the first three cycles of education, from all districts of the Republic of Serbia, participated in the research. Regarding all personal predictors considered, teachers evaluate cognitive competence as the most important predictor of the implementation of online teaching, then affective competence and finally, organizational and technical support. As the results of the research suggest, a significant influence of the dominant online experience, of the applied online platform, work experience and educational cycle on teachers’ perceptions of affective competence as a predictor of online teaching were determined, while the perceptions of organizational and technical support were significantly influenced by the place where the school was located and the applied online platforms. The obtained results may have implications for pedagogical practice and professional development of teachers in terms of consideration and awareness of the role of various personal predictors required for the successful use of modern educational technology.
Lähihoitajien kokemukset asiakas- ja potilastietojärjestelmien tuesta työtehtäviin – poikkileikkaustutkimus

Published: April 2023

Asiakas- ja potilastietojärjestelmien tarjoamaa tukea sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon työtehtävien suorittamiseen on tutkittu lääkärien, sairaanhoitajien ja sosiaalialan korkeakoulutettujen keskuudessa. Lähihoitajille suunnattu tutkimus on jatkumo näille kyselytutkimuksille. Tutkimustehtävinä oli, miten asiakas- ja potilastietojärjestelmät tukevat lähihoitajien työtehtäviä, yhteistyötä ja tiedonkulkua sekä miten hyödylliseksi lähihoitajat arvioivat nämä tietojärjestelmät työssään. Sähköinen kysely välitettiin Suomen lähi- ja perushoitajaliitto SuPer ry:n ja Julkisten ja hyvinvointialojen liitto JHL:n jäsenrekisterissä oleville työikäisille lähihoitajille keväällä 2022. Aineistosta laskettiin keskiarvoja ja prosenttiosuuksia.
Kyselyyn vastasi 3 866 lähihoitajaa kaikilta hyvinvointialueilta. Vastaajien keski-ikä oli 49 vuotta ja 92,9 % puhui äidinkielenään suomea. Suurin osa lähihoitajista työskenteli sosiaalihuollossa. Kolmanneksella (27,9 %) oli yli 20 vuoden työkokemus. Lähihoitajat arvioivat olevansa kokeneita tietojärjestelmien käyttäjiä ja he kokivat tietojärjestelmät pääasiassa työtään tukeviksi. He kuitenkin raportoivat puutteita tietojärjestelmien yhteenvetonäkymissä. Selvitettäessä tietojärjestelmiin liitettyjä hyötyjä puolet (50‒64 %) lähihoitajista eri toimintaympäristöissä raportoi tietojärjestelmien auttavan heitä turvaamaan hoidon jatkuvuuden. Keskeisenä ongelmana nähtiin, että tietojärjestelmien käyttö vie liian ison osan työajasta asiakkaiden kanssa.
Tietojärjestelmät tukivat tiedonvaihtoa omassa organisaatiossa, mutta tiedonvaihdossa sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon organisaatioiden välillä oli haasteita. Tietojärjestelmien tuki tiedonvaihtoon asiakkaiden tai heidän omaistensa välillä oli heikkoa. Tietojärjestelmien lisäksi tiedonvaihtoon käytettiin puhelinta tai papereita viikoittain. Aluetietojärjestelmät tai Kanta-palvelut eivät olleet lähihoitajien työssä tavallinen tiedonvaihtotapa.
Lähihoitajien arviot tietojärjestelmistä olivat melko positiivisia. Tiedonhaun tuki organisaatioiden välisessä tiedonvaihdossa ja kokemus siitä, että yhteenvetonäkymien tulisi tukea työtä nykyistä enemmän, vahvistivat aikaisempia kyselytutkimuksia. Tietojärjestelmien tuki työlle korostuu nykytilanteessa, jossa henkilöstövaje ja kasvava palveluntarve asettavat haasteita uusille hyvinvointialueille.

PROSHADE on Suomen Akatemian Strategisen tutkimuksen neuvoston (STN) vuosille 2021–2026 rahoittama hanke ja osa STN:n LITERACY-ohjelmaa. Hankkeessa tutkitaan ja etsitään monitieteellisesti ratkaisuja tiedon kriittiselle käytölle yhteiskunnassa. PROSHADE tutkii talous- ja vaikuttavuustiedon käyttöä, jaetun päätöksenteon käytäntöjä terveydenhuollossa sekä potilaan tuottaman tiedon hyödyntämistä terveydenhuollon ammattilaisen ja potilaan välisessä päätöksenteossa.
Hankkeessa on neljä työpakettia (WP). Tässä esittelyssä kuvataan sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon tiedonhallinnan, neurologian ja sosiaalipsykologian tieteenaloja yhdistävän työpaketin 3 (WP3) tutkimusta tiedon lukutaidosta, kansalaisen ja potilaiden osallisuudesta terveydenhuollossa. Potilaan osallisuus ilmenee käytännössä potilaan ja terveydenhuollon ammattilaisen välisessä hoitoa koskevassa jaetussa päätöksenteossa. Potilaan osallisuuden vahvistamisella tavoitellaan muun muassa hoidon onnistumista, vahvempaa hoitoon sitoutumista ja hoitotyytyväisyyttä. Potilaan terveystiedon lukutaidolla (taito tunnistaa, etsiä, arvioida ja tuottaa terveyteen liittyvää tietoa) on merkitystä jaetussa päätöksenteossa. Potilaan tuottama tieto esimerkiksi mahdollistaa potilaan arvojen ja näkemysten huomioimisen paremmin osana hoitoa koskevaa jaettua päätöksentekoa. Tutkimustietoa tarvitaan selvittämään, kuinka jaettua päätöksentekoa ja potilaan ääntä saataisiin vahvistettua terveydenhuollon kohtaamisissa.
A Historical Review and Philosophical Examination of the two Paradigms in Artificial Intelligence Research
Authors: Youheng Zhang
Published: April 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field that has undergone significant changes and challenges over time. This paper reviews the historical development of AI and representative philosophical thinking, and also considers the methodology and applications of AI, and anticipates its continued advancement. It discusses two main paradigms: symbolism and connectionism, which differ in how they explain and implement intelligence through symbols or artificial neural networks. However, neither paradigm is the final answer to AI research but rather reflects the best answer at a given time. The paper also analyzes the shortcomings of both paradigms from a philosophical perspective and argues that the most fundamental philosophical issue therein is understanding the difference between biological and artificial intelligence.

As cicatrizes de acne são uma das complicações mais comuns da pele. Infelizmente, esse prognóstico leva a uma aparência do rosto comprometida, recorrentes da acne vulgar. Isso pode ser um motivo que desperta baixa autoestima e até depressão. Dentre os inúmeros tratamentos estéticos, o microagulhamento possui uma abordagem segura e financeiramente acessível. A técnica consiste na utilização de microagulhas com profundida que varia entre 0,5 mm, 0,75 mm, 1,0 mm, 1,5 mm, 2,0 mm e podendo alcançar até 3,0 mm. As microagulhas perfuram as camadas de pele causando microlesões, gerando um processo inflamatório local que induz a neocolagênese e regeneração celular. O microagulhamento tem ainda a vantagem de permitir a entrega de ativos, otimizando os resultados por meio da técnica “drug delivery”. O objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar um caso clínico em que o tratamento de cicatrizes de acne foi realizado por meio do microagulhamento combinado pela aplicação tópica de fatores de crescimento. Fotografias coloridas digitais foram feitas no início do tratamento e ao final do tratamento. O tratamento constou de oito sessões, com intervalo de 20 dias entre cada uma delas, durante três meses. Resultados preliminares revelaram que ocorreu uma melhora satisfatória com regeneração tecidual, neocolagênese, diminuição de fibroses, diminuição da profundidade de cicatrizes de acne e, consequentemente, a melhora na textura e aparência da pele, promovendo uma melhor qualidade de vida e autoestima positiva para o paciente.

A região glabelar é extremamente importante, pois é uma área muito percebida na mímica da face, podendo influenciar na autoestima, confiança social e bem-estar psicológico. A maioria dos profissionais usa somente a toxina botulínica como tratamento das rugas glabelares e, atualmente, alguns optam associar toxina com o ácido hialurônico. Recentemente, o fio de polidioxanona (PDO) associado a toxina tem gerado resultados promissores no rejuvenescimento da região glabelar. O objetivo do presente trabalho é avaliar a associação da toxina botulínica com fios de PDO para equilibrar a musculatura e suavizar as rugas estáticas da região glabelar, otimizando resultados.
The Transmission of Negative Nominal Interest Rates in Finland

Despite the implementation of negative nominal interest rates by several advanced economies in the last decade and the many papers that have been written about this novel policy tool, there is still much we do not know about the effectiveness of this instrument. The pass-through of negative policy rates to loan rates is one of the main points of contention. In this paper, we analyze the pass-through of the ECB’s changes in the deposit facility rate to mortgage rates in Finland between 2005 and 2020. We use monthly data and three different empirical methodologies: correlational event studies, high-frequency identification, and exposure-measure regressions. We provide robust evidence that there continues to be pass-through of a cut in the policy rate to mortgage rates even when the policy rate is in negative territory, but that this pass-through is smaller than when the policy rate is in positive territory. The evidence in this paper contrasts with some previous studies and provides moments that can be useful to discipline theoretical negative-rates models.
POLITICAL MYSTICISM AND THE LEGIONARY MOVEMENT IN INTERWAR ROMANIA. A COGNITIVE APPROACH
Authors: SONEA Ioana-Silvia
Published: April 2023

Political Mysticism and the Legionary Movement in Interwar Romania. A Cognitive Approach. The purpose of this article is to explore the public discourse of the Iron Guard, the often called “exotic” Romanian fascist movement. I will focus especially on the messianic figure of Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, the charismatic leader of the movement, and the long lasting fascination he has exerted in the Romanian public space for more than a century now. The approach taken here is based on Gilles Fauconnier’s and Mark Turner’s conceptual integration theory and it is an attempt to show how by blending various mental spaces, from religious elements to medieval historical characters and events, the movement managed to create a unique mix that seemed to set it apart from other European fascist movements. Its members were extremely young and, by all accounts, genuinely religious, even practicing a type of political „mysticism” that was rather uncommon elsewhere.
Misticism politic și mișcarea legionară în România interbelică. O abordare cognitivă. Articolul de față propune o incursiune în discursul public al Legiunii Arhanghelului Mihail, „exotica” mișcare fascistă românească din perioada interbelică. Ne vom concentra mai ales pe figura mesianică a lui Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, liderul carismatic al mișcării și pe fascinația pe care a exercitat-o și continuă s-o exercite în spațiul public românesc. Abordarea pe care o propunem pornește de la teoria integrării conceptuale a lui Gilles Fauconnier și a lui Mark Turner și reprezintă o încercare de a demonstra cum, prin amalgamarea mai multor spații mentale – de la elemente religioase la personaje și evenimente istorice –, mișcarea a reușit să creeze un univers unic, care-o separă de celelalte mișcări fasciste din epocă. Membrii Legiunii Arhanghelului Mihail erau, în general, extrem de tineri și, după toate aparențele, autentic religioși, practicând un fel de misticism politic greu de găsit în altă parte.

THE LEGITIMIZING TOOLKIT OF THE ROMANIAN COMMUNIST ANTHEMS. IDEOLOGY AND LINGUISTIC IMAGINARY
Authors: URSA Anca
Published: April 2023

The Legitimizing Toolkit of the Romanian Communist Anthems. Ideology and Linguistic Imaginary. Anthems are associated with nationhood and are part of its legitimizing toolkit. Their complete interpretation usually goes through the analysis of the linguistic imaginary, namely of the mythemes of the age, of the unconscious representations of the community, identifiable in rhythmical patriotic verses. National myths, recycled in patriotic songs Romanians have created since the 19th century, have been coloured differently, according to the ideology of the era. However, during 1948-1989 a double orientation could be “read” in the three national anthems: the natural insinuation of the community’s unconscious projections on the one hand, and the evidence of ideological charge meant to change Romanians’ representations of national reality on the other. Thus, the anthems Broken Shackles (Zdrobite cătușe), We Glorify Thee, Romania (Te slăvim, Românie), and Three colours (Trei culori) mark different stages in the communist discourse, even if they seemingly reuse the same motifs specific to the imaginary of the time: the country, the flag, the proletariat, the victorious past, the bright future and the “crushed” enemies.
REZUMAT. Instrumentarul legitimator al imnurilor comuniste românești. Ideologie și imaginar lingvistic. Imnurile se asociază cu națiunea și fac parte din instrumentarul ei legitimator. Interpretarea completă a acestor creații trece, de obicei, prin analiza imaginarului lingvistic, respectiv a mitemelor epocii, a reprezentărilor inconștiente ale comunității, identificabile în versurile patriotice ritmate. Miturile naționale, reciclate în cântecele patriotice pe care le-au creat românii începând cu secolul al XIX-lea, au fost colorate diferit, în funcție de ideologia epocii. În perioada 1948-1989, în cele trei imnuri naționale, poate fi „citită” însă o dublă orientare: insinuarea firească a proiecțiilor inconștiente ale comunității, pe de o parte, și evidența încărcăturii ideologice, menite să schimbe reprezentările românilor despre realitatea națională, pe de altă parte. Așadar, imnurile Zdrobite cătușe, Te slăvim, Românie și Trei culori marchează etape diferite ale discursului comunist, chiar dacă aparent reiau aceleași motive specifice imaginarului vremii: patria, drapelul, proletariatul, trecutul victorios, viitorul luminos și dușmanii „zdrobiți”. Explorarea imaginarului lingvistic pune în evidență modificările încărcăturii semantice și simbolice, de la un imn la altul.

Sidney L. Gulick: reflexiones sobre el peligro amarillo en la primera mitad del siglo XX
Authors: Romero Leo Jaime
Published: April 2023

El presente artículo tiene como fin investigar algunos de los procesos históricos que sentaron las bases del llamado yellow peril en la primera mitad del siglo XX en Estados Unidos. La retórica sobre el peligro amarillo alentó el temor de Occidente respecto a los asiáticos, y ese rechazo se tradujo en políticas concretas de corte racista en países como Estados Unidos. Este fervor antijaponés vino promovido en ocasiones desde los medios de comunicación norteamericanos, como fue el caso de los periódicos de William Randolph Hearst. En este contexto de tensiones internacionales y raciales, personalidades como Sidney Lewis Gulick trataron de impulsar y promover la concordia y la amistad entre Japón y Estados Unidos a través de libros, artículos de prensa y la fundación de asociaciones en favor de las relaciones entre los países. Gulick planteó este tipo de acercamientos desde una posición crítica respecto al papel de Occidente en Asia Oriental. En su opinión, los occidentales debían partir de que el llamado yellow peril tuvo un antecedente desde el que se gestó: el white peril, es decir, el peligro que el colonialismo occidental supuso para buena parte de Asia.
