SIRÈNES ET AUTRES ONDINES : REPRÉSENTATIONS MÉDIÉVALES DES FIGURES AQUATIQUES SCANDINAVES
Authors: D’INCA Elise
Published: June 2023

Mermaids and Other Undines: Medieval Representations of Scandinavian Aquatic Figures. Without claiming to be exhaustive, this article compares the different aquatic figures of Scandinavian imagination, and the representations relating to Scandinavia, taking into account their cosmic aspect. This paper highlights the close connection of these creatures with time, weather and music, and the evolution of the representation of sea creatures that embody geography and climate, real or fantasized. These representations evolve, especially because of the important Christianization process that they undergo. With Christianization, these sea creatures tend towards demonization, and they’re influenced by Occidental representations, especially with those of the sirens of the Nibelungenlied. Scandinavian aquatic figures represent different dangers according to the type of water in which they live: salty, soft or marshy. According to their gender, the marine creatures which embody different risks are put in perspective in a comparative approach that links the Eddas and the stories reported by Xavier Marmier, especially Danish and Swedish. Thanks to the privileged bond these figures, emerging from the Edda, sagas and ballads, maintain with speech and music, their evolutions and their representations survive in the collective imagination related to Scandinavia.
REZUMAT. Sirene și alte ondine: reprezentări medievale ale figurilor acvatice scandinave. Fără a pretinde a fi exhaustiv, acest articol compară diferitele figuri acvatice ale imaginarului scandinav și reprezentările referitoare la Scandinavia, ținând cont de aspectul lor cosmic. Lucrarea de față evidențiază legătura strânsă a acestor creaturi cu timpul, vremea și muzica, precum și evoluția reprezentării creaturilor marine, reale sau imaginare, care întruchipează geografia și clima. Odată cu creștinizarea, aceste creaturi marine tind spre demonizare și sunt influențate de reprezentările occidentale, mai ales de cele ale sirenelor din Cântecul Nibelungilor. Figurile acvatice scandinave se disting după pericolul pe care îl reprezintă și după tipul de apă în care trăiesc: sărată, dulce sau mlăștinoasă. Creaturile marine care întruchipează diferite riscuri sunt analizate în funcție de tipologiile enunțate, printr-o abordare comparativă care leagă Edda și poveștile transmise de Xavier Marmier (în special de origine daneză și suedeză). Datorită legăturilor lor privilegiate cu limbajul și muzica, aceste figuri din Edda, saga și balade supraviețuiesc în imaginarul colectiv scandinav.

REVISITING NORSE MYTHOLOGY: THE CASE OF A.S. BYATT’S "RAGNARÖK"
Authors: NISTOR Cristina Mihaela
Published: June 2023

Revisiting Norse Mythology: The Case of A.S. Byatt’s Ragnarök. In 2011, British author and Booker-prize winner A. S. Byatt publishes Ragnarök, her rewriting of the Norse myth about the death of the gods. Seen through the eyes of a thin child who is forced to witness the terrors of World War II, the story and characters of the Norse myth are reinterpreted and retold in accordance with the child’s vision, imagination and feelings. The paper here focuses on the association of the Scandinavian imaginary with specific moments in A. S. Byatt’s personal history, and highlights the use of certain patterns and ideas that are present in both, trying to pinpoint the elements that make possible the transformation of the mythical into the actual. The aim of this study is to explore the evolution of the mythological events as they are rewritten in Byatt’s 21st century book, in close connection with the main character’s personal development. To that end, the paper will also dwell upon the comparison drawn by Byatt herself between the Norse and the Christian mythological imaginary – a vision filtered through the eyes and thoughts of the focalizer of the text, the thin child.
REZUMAT. Explorarea mitologiei nordice: cazul cărții Ragnarök, de A.S. Byatt. În 2011, autoarea britanică A. S. Byatt, câștigătoare a Premiului Booker, publică Ragnarök, o rescriere a mitului scandinav în care se vorbește despre moartea zeilor. Privite prin ochii unui copil slăbuț care e forțat să fie martorul ororilor celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial, povestea și personajele din mitologia nordică sunt reinterpretate și repovestite prin filtrul viziunii, imaginației și sentimentelor copilului. Articolul de față se concentrează pe asocierea imaginarului scandinav cu momente specifice din istoria personală a lui A. S. Byatt, și evidențiază anumite tipare și idei care sunt prezente în ambele cazuri, încercând să identifice acele elemente care fac posibilă transformarea miticului în real. Obiectivul acestui studiu este acela de a explora evoluția întâmplărilor mitologice așa cum sunt ele rescrise în cartea din secolul al 21-lea a lui Byatt, în strânsă legătură cu dezvoltarea personală a personajului ei principal. În acest scop, lucrarea va insista și asupra comparației făcute de Byatt însăși între imaginarul mitologic nordic și cel creștin – viziune filtrată prin ochii și gândurile focalizatorului textului, copilul cel slăbuț.

ET FORSTYRRET KROPPSBILDE: VURDERING OG KATEGORISERING AV KROPPEN I LINNÉA MYHRES ROMAN "EVIG SØNDAG"
Authors: PRZYWUSKA Paulina
Published: June 2023

A Distorted Body Image: Valuation and categorization of the Human Body in Linnéa Myhre’s novel Evig søndag (Eternal Sunday). The purpose of this article is to analyse the autobiographical novel Eternal Sunday by Linnéa Myhre in order to present the way in which the language reflects the valuation and categorization of the human body. The novel conveys the perspective of a person who suffers from an eating disorder. The way she is describing the human body is affected by the illness, and subconsciously associated with a particular distorted body image, beauty standards and expectations. The theoretical basis is rooted in cognitive linguistics and linguistic categories as proposed by George Lakoff. Cultural and psychological concepts are also taken into the account.
REZUMAT. O imagine corporală distorsionată: Valorizarea și clasificarea corpului uman în romanul Evig søndag (Duminica eternă) al lui Linnéa Myhre. Scopul acestui articol este de a analiza romanul autobiografic Duminica eternă de Linnéa Myhre și de a prezenta modul în care limbajul reflectă valorizarea și categorizarea corpului uman. Romanul transmite perspectiva unei persoane care suferă de o tulburare de alimentație. Modul în care ea descrie corpul uman este afectat de boală și asociat subconștient cu o anumită imagine corporală distorsionată, cu anumite standarde de frumusețe sau așteptări privind corpul. Baza teoretică este înrădăcinată în lingvistica cognitivă și categoriile lingvistice propuse de George Lakoff. Sunt luate în considerare și concepte culturale sau psihologice.

VIȘNIEC’S "HISTORY OF COMMUNISM": THE “PSYCHOPATHOLOGY” AND THE POLITICAL “TRAUMA” IN SOCIALIST HETEROTOPIES AND ATOPIES
Authors: GIORGI Edoardo
Published: June 2023

Vișniec’s History of Communism: the “Psychopathology” and the Political “Trauma” in Socialist Heterotopies and Atopies.[1] This contribution is focused on the famous and interesting drama written by the playwright Matei Vișniec and especially on the peculiarities of the communist psychiatric clinics. By the means of anthropology, this contribution hopes to shed a light on the hidden movements that concerns the management of these institutions, and on how the patients/prisoners were able to resist to some of the most disturbing hardships that were common in that period and in those places. This analysis has been conducted scene by scene, and presents therefore some in depth personal observations, accompanied by studies of great solidity directly regarding the drama but also analysing the general situation (like, for instance, some essays of Michel Foucault and Erving Goffman) that allow a bird-eye observation of the anthropological dynamics on stage. The analysis may as well result in new ways of though on this pièce and maybe even in some interesting debates, although the drama itself is not so recent. The primary goal is to demonstrate how the primigenial vein of the Absurd, present in Vișniec, has become much more bounded to history itself, and to stress out the strong ethicality of the drama.
REZUMAT. Istoria comunismului lui Vișniec: „psihopatologia” și „trauma” politică în heterotopiile și atopiile socialiste. Această contribuție este axată pe celebra dramă scrisă de către dramaturgul Matei Vișniec și mai ales pe particularitățile clinicilor de psihiatrie comuniste. Prin intermediul antropologiei, articolul acesta speră să pună în lumină mișcările ascunse care privesc conducerea acestor instituții și asupra modului în care pacienții/deținuții au reușit să reziste la unele dintre cele mai tulburătoare greutăți care erau comune în acea perioadă și în acele locuri. Această analiză a fost realizată scenă după scenă și prezintă, prin urmare, câteva observații personale aprofundate, însoțite de studii importante care au legătură directă cu drama dar și de înțelepți care analizează situația generală (ca, de pildă, câteva eseuri de Michel Foucault și Erving Goffman) care permit actualizarea unui punct de vedere general despre dinamicele antropologice puse pe scena. Analiza poate duce, de asemenea, la noi modalități de discuție despre drama această și, poate, la unele dezbateri interesante, deși drama în sine nu este atât de recentă. Totuși, scopul principal al acestui articol este demonstrarea modului în care filonul primordial al Absurdului, prezent în Vișniec, a devenit mult mai legat de istoria însăși, iar scopul ulterior este de de a sublinia etica puternică a dramei.

"This paper seeks to map out the knowledge re quirements and infrastructure needed for a com prehensive and quantitative analysis of the societal and geographical dimensions of effective policies regarding COVID-19 (‘coronametrics’ or ‘pandemet rics’). After a sketch of limitations and challenges in corona research, a multi-layer mind map is designed in order to systematically scan the cognitive needs in the corona domain and to address both health policy and socioeconomic-medical information requirements in a geographic context, with a par ticular view to the use of actionable dashboards. A systematic decomposition of the corona knowledge system is pursued to acquire a coherent insight into gaps in corona knowledge, with particular emphasis on policy and research relevance. It turns out that the study of causality patterns in the complex space time evolution of COVID-19 is the Achilles’ heel in the analysis of pandemetrics and calls for new effective and preventive research"

DIGITAL TALE MEDIA TO IMPROVE THE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Authors: Safitri Herlinda Ayu , Wulandari Murfiah Dewi
Published: June 2023

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of digital tale media and the impact of its use on students' emotional intelligence. This study used a quantitative approach with the quasi-experimental method and nonequivalent control group design. The research sample consisted of 40 students of SD Negeri Mojolegi (20 students from each class IIIA and IIIB). Both groups received a pretest and a posttest. Data collection also used a closed questionnaire. The results of this study revealed that the use of digital tale media was quite effective in improving the emotional intelligence of elementary school students, especially in the lower grades. Gradually giving fairy tales helped to improve emotional intelligence by looking at the attitudes and behaviour of the characters of the tales so students can show and develop their emotions. Thus, teachers can provide material in stages in the form of digital tales with different themes to improve students' emotional intelligence.
Tafsir Saintifik
Authors: Mawarti Tesa Fitria
Published: June 2023

Tafsir saintifik atau ilmi adalah sebuah penafsiran para mufassir yang bercorak ‘ilmi atau menggunakan pendekatan ilmiah untuk menjelaskan ayat-ayat al-qur`an  dan berusaha keras untuk mengeluarkan berbagai ilmu pengetahuan. Tafsir ilmi dibangun berdasarkan asumsi bahwa al-qur`an mengandung berbagai macam ilmu, baik yang sudah ditemukan maupun yang belum ditemukan sama sekali dari ilmu agama atau segala yang terkait dengan ibadah ritual, tetapi juga memuat ilmu-ilmu duniawi termasuk hal-hal mengenai teori ilmu pengetahuan. Terdapat beberapa pandangan berbeda dikalangan para ulama terhadap tafsir ilmi tersebut. Ada pro, kontra, dan moderat. Bagi yang mendukung (pro) meyakini bahwa al-qur`an memuat berbagai ilmu pengetahuan dan ilmu pengetahuan baru dapat digali darinya. Bagi yang menentang (kontra) berpendapat bahwa al-qur`an bukanlah ilmu pengetahuan melainkan kitab petunjuk atau pedoman  yang suci bagi manusia. Sedangkan yang moderat tidak berpihak pada siapapun, mencari jalan tengah diantara dua pandangan tersebut.
Konsep Libas (Pakaian) dalam Al-Quran
Authors: Munawwir Ahmad
Published: June 2023

Tulisan ini membahas tentang konsepsi pakaian dalam Al-Quran melalui term libas. Latar belakang tulisan ini adalah melihat fenomena tren pakaian taqwa yang berkembang menjadi simbol khusus untuk mengidentifikasi kesalehan seseorang. Di beberapa kasus bahkan pakaian menjadi symbol bagi aliran keagamaan tertentu dalam mengidentifikasi anggota kelompoknya  dan sekaligus menegasikan orang lain yang bukan kelompoknya dan bukan bagian dari kesalehan. Maka tulisan ini bermaksud menelususri bagaimana sebenernya konspesi libas (pakaian dalam al-Quran), dan bagaimana sejarah perkembangan makna libas dalam Islam, baik sebelum Islam dan Al-Quran diturunkan, kemudian ketika al-Quran diturunkan dan pasca Al-quran diturunkan hingga saat ini.
Konsep Penciptaan Bumi dalam al-Qur’an (Studi Terhadap QS. al-Anbiya’ [21]: 30) Menurut Hamka dalam Tafsir al-Azhar
Authors: Hendra Mersi , Rezi Muhamad
Published: June 2023

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana konsep penciptaan bumi dalam al-Qur’an (studi terhadap QS. al-Anbiya’[21]: 30) menurut Hamka dalam Tafsir al-Azhar. Konsep penciptaan bumi selalu mengalami perkembangan dari masa kemasa. Pada abad ke-20 terdapat beberapa konsep penciptaan bumi yang dikemukakan oleh para ahli astronomi yaitu, yang dimulai dari pemikiran yang bersifat spekulatif yang mengembangkan gagasan bahwa alam semesta mengikuti hukum-hukum yang bersifat kuantitatif. Kemudian muncul teori big bang (ledakan besar), setelah itu muncul teori osilasi (ekspansi) yang lahir akibat perbedaan pendapat antara model alam semesta statis dan big bang yang menyatakan alam semesta mengembang lalu mengerut, lalu mengembang lagi dan seterusnya. Sedangkan al-Qur’an telah lama menginformasikan tentang penciptaan bumi, salah satunya terdapat dalam QS. al-Anbiya’[21]: 30. Ayat inilah yang menjadi fokus penulis dalam penelitian ini, karena ayat ini menggambarkan sejumlah fakta yang telah dibuktikan dengan sains dan teknologi tentang adanya ledakan yang memisahkan langit dan bumi. Selanjutnya ayat ini dihubungkan dengan teori big bang, karena terdapat kemiripan antara ayat al-Qur’an dengan teori big bang tersebut. Penelitian ini hanya membahas bagaimana penafsiran Hamka terhadap QS. al-Anbiya’[21]: 30, dan bagaimana relevansi penafsirannya dengan teori big bang.

Hamka dalam tafsirnya menjelaskan mengenai QS. Al-Anbiya’[21]: 30 yaitu pada awalnya alam semesta ini merupakan satu kesatuan yang berpadu satu, kemudian Allah memisahkan antara langit dan bumi, setelah peristiwa pemisahan tersebut maka langit itu berupa asap atau gas. Setelah peristiwa pemisahan tadi, maka langit dan bumi terus-menerus mengembang dan bergerak. Mengenai proses pemisahan tersebut Hamka tidak menjelaskan secara detail di penelitian ini penulis menguraikan pendapat mufassir lain untuk menjelaskan proses pemisahan tersebut. Sedangkan awal penciptaan bumi dalam teori big bang dijelaskan bahwa seluruh ruang angkasa terjadi dari satu ledakan raksasa. Jadi, awal penciptaan yang dimaksud Hamka disini sejalan dengan awal penciptaan bumi yang terdapat dalam teori big bang, yaitu alam ini terjadi setelah ledakan raksasa (big bang). Dari ledakan tersebut tercipta lah planet-planet salah satunya planet bumi. Kemudian Allah menciptakan segala sesuatu yang hidup dari air, dan seterusnya.

Diminished pupillary light reflexes, elevated third eyelids, and decreased tear production are commonly associated with canine dysautonomia
Authors: Johnson Morgan D. , Rankin Amy J. , Meekins Jessica M.
Published: June 2023

OBJECTIVE

To retrospectively describe ocular abnormalities reported in dogs with presumed dysautonomia.

ANIMALS

79 dogs with dysautonomia.

METHODS

Medical records from the Kansas State University Veterinary Health Center from 2004 to 2021 were reviewed for dogs with a clinical or histopathologic diagnosis of canine dysautonomia (CD). Ophthalmic exam abnormalities, nonocular clinical signs, and outcomes were recorded.

RESULTS

Most dogs (73/79 [92.4%]) with CD exhibited at least 1 ocular abnormality. The most common ocular abnormalities were diminished pupillary light reflexes (PLRs) in 55 of 79 (69.6%) dogs and elevation of the third eyelids in 51 of 79 (64.6%) dogs. Schirmer tear test values were bilaterally decreased in 32 of 56 (57.1%) dogs. Other ocular abnormalities included resting mydriasis, ocular discharge, photophobia, blepharospasm, corneal ulceration, and conjunctival vessel pallor. The most common nonocular clinical signs were vomiting or regurgitation in 69 of 79 (87.3%) and diarrhea in 34 of 79 (43.0%) dogs. Pharmacologic testing with dilute 0.01%, 0.05%, or 0.1% pilocarpine yielded pupillary constriction in 42 of 51 (82.4%) dogs. Thirty-two of 79 (40.5%) dogs survived to discharge. Resolution of ocular abnormalities was variable.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Ophthalmic abnormalities such as diminished PLRs, elevation of the third eyelids, and decreased tear production are commonly associated with CD and provide support for its antemortem clinical diagnosis, though dogs with normal PLRs can be diagnosed with the disease. Pharmacologic testing with dilute topical pilocarpine in dogs with clinical signs suggestive of dysautonomia supports a diagnosis of CD. Ophthalmic abnormalities may improve or resolve over time.
Younger dogs of specific breeds are more likely to experience a rare adverse event after administration of extended-release injectable moxidectin heartworm preventive
Authors: Saito Emi K. , Moore George E. , Morrison JoAnn , Spofford Nathaniel , Yang Mike
Published: June 2023

OBJECTIVE

To estimate the incidence of and identify patient risk factors for an acute adverse event in dogs after administration of a sustained-release injectable heartworm preventive product.

ANIMALS

Canine patients that received the injectable heartworm preventive product during routine preventive care visits.

METHODS

Retrospective analysis of electronic medical records of canine visits within a large network of primary care veterinary clinics in which the product was administered from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2020. Visits during which vaccination(s) were also administered were excluded from analysis. Identification of acute adverse events was based on diagnostic entries and other clinical presentations suggestive of an adverse event within 3 days of product administration. Data were analyzed using mixed-effects logistic regression.

RESULTS

In the 5-year study period, 1,399,289 visits with 694,030 dogs led to an incidence estimate of approximately 14.3 events/10,000 doses. Regression analysis found younger dogs and 7 breeds (relative to mixed-breed dogs) to have statistically significant greater odds of an event.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Understanding of incidence and patient risk factors provides veterinary professionals and dog owners more information when deciding on heartworm preventive options for their dog when considering risk for adverse event in dogs of certain ages or breeds.
Exploring the Impact of Task-Based Activities on Vocabulary Acquisition and Student Attitudes Towards Reading Short Stories: A Comparison of Two Approaches
Authors: Vela Vjosa
Published: June 2023

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating short stories with task-based learning activities in English as a foreign language (EFL) class to promote vocabulary development and motivation among L2 learners. Six short stories were selected by the participants based on their interests, pre- and post-tests were conducted to evaluate vocabulary acquisition and a questionnaire was used to gather information about the perception of task-based activities after reading short stories among students. The study involved 60 intermediate level English students at the SEEU Language Center, assigned to either the control or experimental group. The experimental group completed post-reading tasks such as keeping vocabulary notebooks, reading circle discussions, sequencing activities, plot structure understanding, and group poster presentations after reading each story. The findings suggest that the incorporating engaging reading activities had a favorable effect on language learning. The experimental group exhibited greater vocabulary acquisition and comprehension than the control group. The follow-up tasks created a sense of achievement, improved communication and interaction among the students. According to the study, including comprehensible input through extensive reading along with constructive output from task-oriented exercises can effectively promote language progress and enhance students’ motivation thus effectively facilitating language development in L2 learners.
Metaphors of coming out in Polish: A cognitive linguistic approach
Authors: Dyrmo Tomasz
Published: June 2023

The following qualitative study focuses on the metaphors of coming out in the Polish language. Native Polish speakers were asked to define coming out and then describe their coming out experiences. Data from 94 participants were analysed. The results from the analysis show that, consistently with the previous study on English data (Dyrmo, 2022b), coming out metaphors are based on several different conceptual structures and meaning foci, for example the image schema of FORCE and CONTAINER, the concept of openness and visibility, the domain of MOVEMENT and TRANSFER, the frame of SHARING AN OBJECT and two discursively oriented metaphorical scenarios: COMING OUT IS MAKING YOUR ORIENTATION VISIBLE TO OTHERS and COMING OUT IS SHIFTING A HEAVY OBJECT OFF YOUR SHOULDERS. The present analysis lays ground for further multimodal analyses of coming out metaphors.

Authors: Bukhovets I. L. , Maksimova A. S. , Kuznetsov M. S. , Kozlov B. N. , Ussov W. Yu.
Published: June 2023

Aim. To study changes in the size and linear velocities of the blood flow of internal jugular veins in patients with high degree stenosis of the extracranial carotid artery.

Methods. The study included 28 patients: 14 patients with high degree stenoses of the internal carotid arteries (70% and more by NASCET criteria) constituted group 1, 14 patients with “small” stenoses of the ICA (less than 30%) – group 2. The state of blood flow in the extracranial sections of the main arteries of the head were evaluated using ultrasound.

Results. When studying the features of venous blood flow, the following was found: in the group with unilateral hemodynamically significant stenosis, in contrast to the group of patients with “small” stenoses, the venous pressure measured on the arm was statistically significantly lower, and therefore the calculated central venous pressure, while the linear velocities of the peaks S and T were statistically significantly higher by 1 the group on the side of hemodynamically significant stenosis. On the side of contralateral stenosis in group 1, there was statistically significantly less area of VAV, and the ratio S1/S2, than in patients of group 2. Intra-group analysis revealed a statistically significant difference in almost all indicators in patients with hemodynamically significant stenosis compared with the contralateral side: the diameters of the vein and its area were larger, and the linear rates of the A, S and T peaks were higher. Whereas there were no statistically significant differences in the group of “small” stenoses.

Conclusion. Changes in venous blood flow in the jugular veins are interrelated with the development of high degree carotid stenosis and have diagnostic significance, can be used as an additional sign of the hemodynamic significance of carotid stenosis.
