Entro/oltre il romanzo di famiglia: la trilogia della violenza coloniale di Igiaba Scego
Authors: Frigeni Veronica
Published: September 2024

Indagando i motivi, i modi e gli esiti cui conduce la scelta, da parte di Igiaba Scego, del romanzo di famiglia in Oltre Babilonia, Adua e La linea del colore, l’ipotesi di lettura qui proposta è che l’autrice progressivamente si allontani dal romanzo familiare più canonico e genealogico, per approdare a una sorta di meta-romanzo familiare, che da un lato interroga la definizione stessa di famiglia; e dall’altro scardina e riformula criticamente gli elementi, tematici e formali, del genere, facendo del romanzo familiare, coerentemente con il macrotesto dell’autrice, un esercizio di critica delle narrazioni e dell’immaginario (post)coloniale. Tale ipotesi sarà verificata esaminando nei tre testi: (1) la centralità del corpo come locus del trauma e della memoria; (2) la ricerca e costruzione dell’identità personale quale necessaria ricostruzione di un’appartenenza rizomatica, trans-generazionale e transnazionale; (3) la presenza di modelli familiari eccentrici e alternativi rispetto a quello patriarcale; (4) il contrasto tra le memorie familiari e le narrazioni dominanti del rimosso storico.
Tintoretto e la sua famiglia. La narrazione anfibia di Melania Mazzucco
Authors: Puggioni Roberto
Published: September 2024

Voce tra le più convincenti della narrativa contemporanea italiana, Melania Mazzucco ha costantemente sperimentato l’ibridazione dei generi narrativi mediante l’amalgama di romanzo storico, racconto biografico, Künstlerroman, resoconto di ricerche d’archivio, in un impasto che talvolta inclina verso il family novel. Esplorando tale chiave combinatoria, il contributo qui proposto è dedicato all’analisi della narrazione anfibia sviluppata tra La lunga attesa dell’angelo, pubblicato nel 2008, e il monumentale saggio biografico Jacomo Tintoretto e i suoi figli, uscito nel 2009. Una diade nella quale il racconto biografico funge da contro-narrazione del romanzo in un sistema di tessere, interferenze, nuclei discorsivi che non sempre coincidono, poiché l’anamnesi delirante che caratterizza il romanzo viene talora contraddetta delle indagini archivistiche presentate nel saggio. Nel rimbalzo delle aporie tra “verità” e immaginazione, attraverso il governo sapiente degli anacronismi, l’autrice disegna la parabola familiare dell’illustre artista saldando la dimensione antropologica, culturale e storica della Venezia cinquecentesca allo scenario odierno.
L’Architettrice di Melania Mazzucco. Una cattedrale romanzesca per Plautilla
Authors: Caocci Duilio
Published: September 2024

Il saggio analizza il romanzo più recente di Melania Mazzucco, L’Architettrice (2019). Per raccontare la vicenda di Plautilla Bricci (1616–1705) e di un intero secolo l’autrice compie un lavoro di ricerca erudita imponente, ma l’esito editoriale è un solo romanzo e non una coppia di libri come nel caso precedente di Mazzucco (2008 e 2009). La lista dei documenti archivistici consultati – un file pdf di ventisei pagine – è confinata nel portale dell’editore. Il rapporto tra storia e invenzione, tra documento e finzione, si sviluppa dunque in modo assai diverso rispetto alla diade narrativa precedente (quella dedicata alla figlia di Tintoretto). Si dedicherà perciò particolare cura al rapporto triangolare tra la narrazione principale – quella della famiglia  e di Plautilla, la prima architettrice della storia – il complesso paratesto che stabilisce un contatto tra i valori del passato e quelli del presente e i numerosi intermezzi dedicati alla fase finale della Repubblica romana che narrano la repentina distruzione della principale opera realizzata da Plautilla. Tale ricostruzione dei fatti, con il Seicento che crea e innova e l’Ottocento che invece devasta, impatta sulla storia lunga dei generi di cui ci stiamo occupando – dai Promessi sposi ai molti romanzi novecenteschi ambientati nel XVII secolo – sia sul piano narratologico che sul piano ideologico.
From Lenin To Leninism
Authors: Coggiola Osvaldo
Published: September 2024

In “From Lenin to Leninism,” Osvaldo Coggiola examines the evolution of Lenin's influence on the 20th century, as recognized by Eric Hobsbawm. Lenin's leadership during the October Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Soviet state left an indelible mark on global history. This paper traces the transformation of Lenin's ideas into “Leninism,” a doctrine formalized posthumously, which became a foundation for the international communist movement. Coggiola highlights the contrast between Lenin's practical approach to revolutionary strategy and the rigid, bureaucratic interpretation that Stalin later imposed. The analysis delves into Lenin's theoretical contributions, particularly his views on the agrarian question and the proletarian revolution, while critiquing the subsequent misappropriation and mythologization of his legacy. This historical re-examination underscores Lenin's complex legacy and its implications for contemporary socialist thought and practice

Features of the development of polycystic ovary syndrome in the conditions of increased level of nickel exposure
Authors: Gunkov S.V. , Kosei N.V. , Reheda S.I.
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) refers to endocrinopathies that women of reproductive age could have. These disorders can be caused by both endogenous (endocrine disorders, chronic infections, stress, etc.) and exogenous factors (environmental, smoking, etc.).
Aim. Determination of serum nickel values in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and investigation of the mechanisms underlying the toxic effects of nickel on the reproductive system. Explore potential sources of nickel exposure and develop recommendations for the prevention and treatment of PCOS caused by increased levels of nickel exposure.
Materials and Methods. The research was conducted on the bases of State Institution “O.M. Lukianova Institute of Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology of NAMS of Ukraine” 52 women who were diagnosed with PCOS were selected for the study. The control group consisted of 38 women of reproductive age without reproductive system pathology. Determination of serum nickel values in women with PCOS was performed using a Bruker MS 820 inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (Australia) using special ICP-MS Expert software. The study of indicators of environmental pollution with nickel was carried out by processing data published in open sources of information.
Results. Women with PCOS showed elevated serum nickel values (median ‒ 0.036 mg/l, 95-percentile ‒ 0.194 mg/l), which significantly exceeded the control group (median ‒ 0.001 mg/l, 95-percentile ‒ 0.097 mg/l, p=0.0012). The study of exposure possible sources showed that elevated levels of nickel were found in drinking water from surface water sources. Contamination of surface waters and soils used in agriculture was also detected.
The authors propose a set of measures for the prevention and treatment of complications caused by nickel exposure.
Conclusions. Nickel exposure occurs mainly by alimentary and inhalation. When exposed to nickel, there is a violation of the function of the endocrine system, activation of inflammatory processes and oxidative stress. In women with PCOS with an increased level of nickel exposure, it is necessary to carry out a set of measures aimed at reducing the level of exposure, accelerating nickel excretion and treating complications that have occurred.
Keywords: polycystic ovary syndrome, nickel, exposure, principles of prevention and treatment.
Assessment of Compressive Strength of Concrete Using the CAPO Test
Authors: Khair Abul
Published: September 2024

The CAPO-Test or the Cut and Pull-Out test, also known as the pull-out test, is gaining popularity as a method for estimating the compressive strength of existing concrete structures due to its reliability, less structural damage compared to core collection, and quick in-place strength. The manufacturer of the pull-out machine has provided a general correlation for assessing the in-place concrete strength of stone chip-based concrete. Many of the concrete buildings in Bangladesh are made of brick chip-based concrete. In a few projects in Bangladesh, the CAPO test has been used to assess the concrete strength of existing structures. However, the reliability of this test for concrete made of brick chips has yet to be investigated. 20 columns from five distinct structures, which varied in age from 14 to 45 years at the time of testing, underwent the CAPO and core tests for this study. Based on the fundamental findings of this investigation, a general correlation has been established regarding concrete composed of brick chips. According to the findings, the CAPO-Test f or concrete with brick chips shows estimated strengths using the proposed correlation varies between 0%   and 30% of the core strength. No prior research has been identified on evaluating the concrete strength of existing structures containing brick chips using the CAPO test; therefore, this study supports the CAPO-Test's reliability in conducting in-situ concrete strength assessments of brick chip-based structures.

Obliquely Propagating Self-Gravitational Shock Waves in Non-Relativistic Degenerate Quantum Plasmas
Authors: Asaduzzaman M , Mamun M A A , Mamun A A
Published: September 2024

A rigorous theoretical investigation has been carried out on the propagation of non-linear self-gravitational shock waves (SGSHWs) in a magnetized super dense degenerate quantum plasma system (DQPS) composed of inertia-less non-relativistic degenerate electrons and inertial non-degenerate extremely heavy nuclei/element. The nonlinear propagation of these SGSHWs in the plasma system under consideration is studied by the standard reductive perturbation technique, which is valid for a small finite amplitude limit. The nonlinear dynamics of the SGSHWs are found to be governed by the Burgers equation. The Burgers equation is derived analytically and solved numerically. It has been found that the considered plasma model supports positive potential shock waves only. The fundamental properties (amplitude, steepness, etc.) of these SGSHWs are significantly modified by the variation of kinematic viscosity, obliqueness and number density of the plasma species.  The results of our present investigation can be applied to astrophysical compact objects like neutron stars.

Authors: Pal Chandona Rani , Paul Swapan Kumar , Ahmed Md Towkir , Uddin Md Romij , Sarker Uttam Kumer
Published: September 2024

To assess the importance of bio-slurry in combination with chemical fertilizers on the yield of mustard, a field experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh. Four varieties of mustard (BARI sarisha-14, BARI sarisha-11, BARI sarisha-13, Tori-7) along with four fertilizers treatments i.e. control, recommended dose of inorganic fertilizer, bio-slurry @ 5 t ha-1 + inorganic fertilizer, farmers’ practice (average of 15 farmers) was included in this study. The experiment was set up employing randomized complete block design with three replications. The result revealed significant varietal effects on all the yield and yield contributing characteristics. BARI sarisha-13 exhibited the highest seed yield (2.37 t ha-1), which can be attributed to increased branches plant-1, siliqua plant-1 and seeds siliqua-1. Fertilizer treatments significantly affected different yield parameters and yield. Among them, bio-slurry @ 5 t ha-1 + inorganic fertilizer produced the highest seed yield (1.83 t ha-1), while the control yielded the lowest (1.63 t ha-1). The integrated effect of varieties and fertilizers showed promising results. BARI sarisha-13 with bio-slurry @ 5 t ha-1 + inorganic fertilizer produced the highest seed yield (2.56 t ha-1). Therefore, it could be concluded that BARI sarisha-13 with bio-slurry @ 5 t ha-1 + inorganic fertilizer has the potential for maximizing mustard yield.

Welfare impacts of drought adaptation strategies in John Taolo Gaetsewe district, Northern Cape Province, South Africa
Authors: Applegreen Palesa Antoinette , Molelekoa Thonaeng Charity , Oyekale Abayomi Samuel
Published: September 2024

Drought is a global problem that presents a negative impact on the welfare of millions of people in both industrialized and developing nations. In South Africa, poor rural households, who depend on rain-fed subsistence agriculture for their livelihoods are the most susceptible to drought, and have the least ability to absorb its impacts. The primary goal of this study was to analyse the effects of drought adaptation strategies on rural households’ welfare and to compute the welfare enhancement impacts that are associated with each adaptation method. The study was conducted in John Taolo Gaetsewe district, Northern Cape province. Multistage sampling technique was used to sample 360 rural households, who were affected by drought. The results showed that the average age of households’ heads was 52 years. Only 41% of the households’ heads had an education level between Grades 8 and 12, and about 63% were male. Average farming experience was 7.67 years and pensioners made up about 47%. Also, 65% of households’ heads depended on government assistance, while 85% lacked access to formal credit. The 2SLS results showed that household income, household size, pension, grant, and use of crop diversification significantly influenced per capita consumption expenditure. The results showed that average treatment effect (ATE) from crop diversification was R497.16 and statistically significant (p<0.05). It was concluded that many drought adaptation methods are not influencing households’ welfare, and efforts to promote adaptation should focus on crop diversification with specific assistance given to social grant holders.

Published: September 2024

The effects of alpha-pinene (AP), a monoterpenoid, known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties, on methotrexate (MTX)-induced cardiac and hepatic damage were investigated in this study. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into Control, Vehicle, AP, MTX, and AP+MTX groups (n=7). AP (50 mg/kg/day, 14 days) was applied subcutaneously in the AP and AP+MTX groups. MTX (20 mg/kg) was injected three days before sacrification. Serum CK-MB, troponin T, ALT, and AST levels, as well as cardiac and hepatic MDA, GSH, caspase-3, and p53 levels, were measured by ELISA. Histological changes in tissues were evaluated by scoring in terms of tissue damage and cellular degeneration parameters after hematoxylin-eosin staining. MTX caused significant increase in serum CK-MB, troponin T, ALT, and AST levels, hepatic and cardiac lipid peroxidation, GSH depletion, and caspase-3 level. However, tissue levels of p53 did not change significantly. MTX-induced histological deterioration was observed in both tissues. These MTX-induced changes were significantly reduced in the AP+MTX group. Present results show that MTX-induced cardiac and hepatic damage is prevented by AP pretreatment. This protection can be attributed to the antioxidant and anti-apoptotic properties of AP. Considering the importance of MTX in cancer treatment, AP appears to have highly promising potential as a cardioprotective and hepatoprotective agent in anti-tumoral therapy.

Authors: Maslennikova Anna V. , Gulakov Vasiliy O.
Published: September 2024

Changes of deep mountain-steppe oligo-mesotrophic lake Yaktykul (Bannoe) over the past 230 years were studied based on diatom analisis of the sediments core. Identified species and varieties of diatoms (126) were represented mainly by planktonic-benthic alkaliphiles, oligohalobes, β-mesosaprobes and oligosaprobes. Five diatom zones were distinguished. Small cyclic diatoms (Stephanodiscus parvus, Pantocsekiella comensis) increase in the upper part of the sediment core was observed. Changes in total phosphorus (TP) concentration were reconstructed. Until the middle of the twentieth century, the content of TP correlated with growing season temperature, and then with annual precipitation, which could be explained by increasing role of phosphorus inflow from the catchment.

Many residents lost their plantation land due to mining. However, they have a way to keep the land profitable, namely that the mine must compensate, both plants and land. In addition, the presence of mining is certainly a place to accommodate labor and open employment opportunities, such as in the process of building buildings or factories until the stage of mining activities requires a lot of labor. This is what is utilized by residents, especially farmers who have damaged or lost their land. Many people work in the company. The real impact of mining activities that occur in Kiaea Village is environmental damage, air pollution, rivers that were once clear are now murky or mixed with mud so that residents' rice fields are exposed to waste from mining, resulting in a lack of crop yields obtained by farmers and to overcome the problem, several strategies are needed. The strategies made are activating farmer groups, making boreholes, intensive maintenance or spraying, increasing fertilizer application, closing irrigation channels, working as mine laborers. These steps are new solutions to the problems faced and can maintain the rice fields.

Authors: Tabone Nadine , Grech Helen , Bamiou Doris-Eva
Published: September 2024

Objective

The aim of this study was to develop a screening questionnaire for auditory processing disorder (APD) targeted for the Maltese pediatric population.

Method

The questionnaire consisted of 25 close-ended questions in which parents rated their child's listening skills. The data was collected from 101 typically developing Maltese bilingual children and 30 children forming a clinical group, aged between 7;00 and 9;11 years.

Results

The tool was found to be highly reliable with an internal consistency of 0.92 and test-retest reliability of 0.94. Significant differences emerged between normal and clinical groups (p = < 0.001). Correlational analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between the Questionnaire of (Central) Auditory Processing (QCAP) and the speech-in-noise test, Duration Patterns Test and tests of dichotic listening.

Conclusion

The QCAP is potentially an effective screening tool for highlighting listening difficulties in Maltese children at risk of having APD.
