L'imagotipus d'Alemanya a la novel·la policíaca mallorquina
Authors: Casadesús Bordoy Alejandro
Published: August 2023

Summary: Cultural and economic relationships between Germany and Mallorca began forming in the 1960s, when Mallorca became the favourite destination for German tourists. This long relationship between both nationalities has created a common image of German people which is based on clichés and prejudices. The main aim of this article is to analyse the literary image of German people in Majorcan crime novels. In order to develop this analysis, following aspects are examined: a theoretical introduction to imagology, the creation of the image of the German nation as well as a brief description of the relationships between Majorcan and German people. The practical analysis of the crime novels aims to illustrate how the authors interpret the above- mentioned relationship and in which way stereotypes and clichés are used.

Salvador Espriu i la llengua catalana. Sobre Primera història d'Esther i algun altre text
Authors: Bonet Sebastià
Published: August 2023

Summary: Building on three texts of Espriu – Primera història d’Esther [The Story of Esther] (1947–48), “Sota la fredor parada d’aquests ulls” [Under the still coolness of these eyes] (1972–76), and El doctor Rip [Doctor Rip] (1931/1972–73] – facts and arguments are put forward concerning the writer’s contribution to the Catalan language. Special attention is drawn to the fact that, even though Espriu remained true to the Fabrian codification, he distanced himself from the version the Noucentisme movement had produced.

Fritz Vogelgsang: Salvador Esprius Übersetzer ins Deutsche
Authors: Farrés Ramon
Published: August 2023

Summary: Salvador Espriu’s bilingual (Catalan-German) publication of his complete poetical works by the Zurich publishing house Amman marks a historic moment in the reception of Catalan literature in German-speaking countries. It also represents the apex of the penetration of Espriu in the German literary system, a process which began in 1970. This article looks at this process in detail, focusing on Fritz Vogelgsang, author of the German version of the complete poetical works. A study of the texts is carried out, departing from the translator’s own comments, a comparison with other versions, and the appraisal found in German reviews.

L'exemple lexicogràfic en el Diccionari alemany-català de Lluís Batlle i altres
Authors: Robles i Sabater Ferran
Published: August 2023

Summary: The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the theory of the dictionary example in recent German didactic lexicography and to comment on the use of the example in the current German-Catalan dictionaries on the basis of the Diccionari Alemany-Català. Our analysis will comprise three aspects of dictionary examples: a) their number and frequency of use, b) their form and c) their function. The results of this study show the importance of examples for tasks such as acquisition of vocabulary in autonomous and directed learning, text production and reception, and translation.

Problemes lexicogràfics en la traducció alemany-català: com superar els límits dels diccionaris bilingües
Authors: Van Lawick Heike
Published: August 2023

Summary: This paper outlines several lexicographical issues which are not generally resolved by bilingual dictionaries. Given that ongoing translators (from German to Catalan) are, however, strongly dependant upon these dictionaries, on the one hand, translation procedures are shown which leave room for (necessary) creativity; on the other hand, alternative ways to look up the meaning of words are presented, which help to overcome the dictionaries’ limits. The context is a basic element, for lexicography as well as for translation, that in many respects sheds light on more precise word meanings. Therefore, different applications of text corpora are briefly indicated. [Keywords: Lexicography; bilingual dictionaries; translation procedures; context; corpus]
Una mostra de la traducció de còmics al català: el cas de Maus. Relat d'un supervivent
Authors: Baile López Eduard
Published: August 2023

Summary: Apart from some isolated examples, most comics published in Spain are usually done so in Spanish. However, because of the success of the graphic novel, a concept which has expanded the core readership beyond the usual fans, some of the most popular works have recently been published in Catalan, a fact which, as we have stated, is not very common in a comic publishing market almost exclusively limited to editions in Spanish. Accordingly, our aim is to take a look at the linguistic guidelines and models used to translate these cultural artifacts into our language. More specifically, we have chosen Maus by Art Spiegelman, since it is considered to be a key example of the expressive possibilities the comic medium may aspire to as a narrative tool.

Catalan Romani (caló català) in the work of Juli Vallmitjana: an initial appraisal
Authors: Adiego Ignasi-Xavier
Published: August 2023

Summary: The Catalan writer Juli Vallmitjana i Colomines (1873–1937) made extensive use of Catalan Gypsies as the topic of some of his plays and novels. It is clear that he had close contact with Gypsy people, and that this contact resulted in an interest for the Romani speech of Catalonia (caló català). He introduced Caló words in dramatic works, and words and dialogues in his novel Sota Montjuïc, which constitutes an interesting source of this language, but his chief contribution is a remarkable list of words and phrases in an appendix on Caló català that was included in the first edition of Sota Montjuïc. All these materials have not been analyzed in depth until now: In his study on Catalan Romani, Frederick George Ackerley only accounts for some Caló words contained in a work of Vallmitjana.      Vallmitjana is practically the only source for filling the gap between the earliest written sources of Catalan Romani (in the first half of the 19th century) and the present attestations of this dialect, now on the verge of extinction. In this paper, I offer a first appraisal of all these Romani materials recorded by the Catalan writer. [Keywords: Catalan Romani; Catalan Gypsies; Romani language; Gypsy language]
Tintín a Catalunya
Authors: Soldevilla Albertí Joan Manuel
Published: August 2023

Summary: This article offers a perspective of the different stages which marked the arrival of The Adventures of Tintin, a series that has been widely popular and highly influential in the Catalan-speaking areas. We will first illustrate the importance of Hergé’s work in the context of the 20th century media and will continue with an account of how this comic reached our nation. The essay analyzes the implementation strategies in the book market, describes how the series consolidated its position, how it eventually managed to become a modern icon in the 1980s and how the new century has witnessed a rebirth of people’s interest in Hergé’s work.

Una mostra xarona. Una lectura de La "Niña Gorda" (1917), de Santiago Rusiñol
Authors: Dasca Maria
Published: August 2023

Summary: Published in 1917, the novel La “Niña Gorda” by Santiago Rusiñol is one of the few Catalan novels dedicated to the representation of monsters. Conceived as an anti-model of two literary topics, the bovarysm and the “Ben Plantada”, the fiction is a reaction against a series of topics of Eugeni d’Ors’ discourse. Rusiñol uses a direct and realist language, a sense of antiidealist humour and the creation of an “imaginary circus” (that was used by Rusiñol at the end of the XIXth century). La “Niña Gorda” is a transition fiction, written between the “Noucentist” period and the development of the Avant-garde. [Keywords: Catalan narrative; humour; monster; Modernism; Noucentism]
Dietari von Tàpies - Ritualisierung und Revitalisierung des Alltags
Authors: Cuadra Claudia
Published: August 2023

Summary: This essay deals with Dietari (2002), a cycle of five pictures dating from Tapies’ last creative period. In this work some central elements of his esthetics flow together within the frame of diary, producing a dimension of existential significance. The pictures show daily ordinary activities such as walking, eating, digesting and washing, which, after being transposed in an esthetic context and enriched by symbols and penetrating signs, expose features of a ritual. First, we identify the diary as a place of mediation between routine, art and ritual. Then we retrace the role of the process of integration and conversion of symbolic and linguistic signs on different levels. By contemplating each of the five paintings and their relations to one another, we can immerse ourselves in an interplay of associations and possible meanings. One can observe two central aspects: objects and signs reacquire their original gesture and their everyday context. As a matter of fact, the figurative signs cannot be removed from artwork, for they incite interactive participation, while mental and sensorial processes of synesthetic perception have to be seen as a unity. Tàpies does not limit himself to the artistic ritualization of the profane, but uses it as a way of influencing everyday acting by restoring its fully procedural meaning.

Sobre la transmissió manuscrita de l'obra poètica de Francesc Fontanella: els cançoners principals i l'ordenació dels textos
Authors: Valsalobre Pep
Published: August 2023

Summary: The poetic oeuvre of the baroque poet Francesc Fontanella (1622–1682/83) was widely known. We still keep thirty-seven witnesses of his work: thirty-one are manuscripts and six are printed copies. Despite the fact that his poems have been generally regarded as following a disordered arrangement, this paper proposes two nuances to this perception: on the one hand, the analysis of Fontanella’s poetry transmission allows us to define a micro organization through well defined cycles in accordance with subject, addressees, writing circumstances, etc.; on the other hand, we can classify a large number of Fontanella’s poetry through the comparison of the disposition of the poems both in his books and in the miscellaneous collections which contain a critical number of his poems. The outcome are three large sets of manuscripts. The resulting data has been supported by the comparative analysis of its rubrics. Both factors offer a guideline to understand the poetic works of the Barcelona poet and playwright and collaborate with the ecdotic analysis to build a critical edition of his poetic oeuvre.

Els usos del verb fer i la seva traducció a l'alemany
Authors: Schmid Beatrice
Published: August 2023

Summary: The starting point of this contribution is that the Catalan verb fer appears to have a wider range of meaning than the German equivalent machen. In addition, frequent use of fer in the standard language seems to be more accepted than a repeated use of machen in German. I explore this hypothesis in two steps. First, I compare the entries for fer and machen in the standard dictionaries (Duden and DIEC). I then analyse the way that fer is translated into German in the novel Un crim imperfecte by Teresa Solana. The analysis of this literary text focuses on two aspects; firstly, fer as a verbum dicendi, a meaning which the German machen rarely has, and also fer as a light verb, a function shared with machen. The analysis demonstrates that the lexicographic data agree with the findings from the translation analysis thereby confirming the hypothesis.

Fraseologia col·loquial? Ara ve quan el maten!
Authors: Bladas Òscar
Published: August 2023

Summary: Although Catalan lexicography has always paid a great deal of attention to phraseology, it remains unclear how to classify colloquial, idiomatic expressions such as Ara ve quan el maten (literally, ‘now it is when he is going to be killed’, approximately ‘We are in trouble’). None of the three main categories found in Catalan dictionaries, namely, refranys (proverbs), locucions (phrases) and frases fetes (idioms), seems to be appropriate enough to describe this type of formulaic expressions, which are also challenging from a theoretical perspective. The present article argues that expressions like Ara ve quan el maten should be regarded as conversational routines which have typically undergone a subjectification process.

Un outsider portuguès en el camp literari català: Animais Nossos Amigos, d'Afonso Lopes Vieira
Authors: Diaz Fouces Oscar
Published: August 2023

Summary: This paper discusses the difficulty of inserting a work previously unrecognized in the global literary canon into a local literary canon, based on a case study, namely the early 20th century Catalan edition of Animais Nossos Amigos, originally written in Portuguese by Afonso Lopes Vieira. Several aspects of the Catalan version Bestioles Amigues are examined, including the profile of both the responsible translators (Ignasi Ribera i Rovira and Ferran Maristany) and the illustrators (Raúl Lino and Artur Ballester), as well as the socioliterary publishing context. The analysis is based on considering all of these factors as a process of accumulation and loss of symbolic capital on the part of the agents involved.

Gaziel, d’Apel·les Mestres: un Mefisto irònic i un Faust bohemi
Authors: Sunyer Magí
Published: August 2023

Summary: This article explores the intertextual relations between Faust, by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and two texts by Apel∙les Mestres: the poem and the drama Gaziel (from 1891 and 1909, respectively). The influence of German literature on Mestres, and particularly of Goethe and Heine, is such that Gaziel can be regarded as a direct reproduction. The fact that Gaziel, Faust’s parallel, is a Poet frames the work as part of the debate on the Artist, which was a feature of Catalan Modernisme, and relates to Mestres’ status as a complete man of letters – draftsman, musician, poet, playwright and prose writer – which was made abundantly clear by the magnificent illustrations of the poem’s first edition. The ironic relationship between Mephistopholes and Gaziel provides the basis for an analysis of the function of the devil in the two works and the game of complicities that Mestres constructs around his character. Keywords: Faust, Gaziel, intertextuality, Modernism, artist, devil
Eines computacionals per a la creació i explotació de corpus orals en català
Authors: Garrido Almiñana Juan María
Published: August 2023

Summary: The goal of this article is to review the inventory of computational tools currently available for the development of oral corpora in Catalan, from their design to their exploitation once they have been developed. Several tools for the design, transcription, annotation and exploitation are described and analysed, and an example of oral corpus in Catalan developed and exploited using this kind of tools is also presented. The final conclusion is that the existing tools may help to make easier the creation and exploitation tasks of oral corpora in Catalan, although more efforts are still necessary to improve the existing tools and to create new ones.

Ergative marking in Basque-Spanish and Basque-French code-switching
Authors: Epelde Irantzu , Oyharçabal Bernard
Published: August 2023

Summary: The paper presents the case of ergative marking in code-switching (CS) in the spontaneous speech of Basque bilinguals from either side of the French-Spanish border. Here the focus will be on intrasentential CS. Basque is an ergative-absolutive language while French and Spanish are nominative-accusative languages. According to the naturalistic data collected in the Basque Country, Basque speakers, when switching intrasententially during a conversation, show some clear patterns in the use of the ergative in CS: they use the determiner as the main trigger in ergative marking, as can be clearly observed when the determiner is a French/Spanish one. When it appears on the left of the noun following the French/Spanish pattern, the subject winds up with no ergative marker and the CS is acceptable in any case.

Catalanismes i dialectalismes lexicals de Naut Aran en Palmira Jaquetti. Elements de vocabulari sobre la pretesa natura acatalanada de l'alt aranès
Authors: Carrera Aitor
Published: August 2023

Summary: It has been said that the Occitan spoken in the upper part of the Aran Valley has Catalan influence and that this fact constitutes an important part of its specificity, if not its defining characteristic. Theoretically, this would be a consequence of the relationships that Naut Aran (Upper Aran) has with the neighboring areas where Catalan is spoken. But are these perceptions accurate? In this work we may not be able to answer this question completely, but we will try to analyze some of the features of the lexicon in the easternmost part of the Aran Valley. To do this, we will deal with ten words of High Aranese obtained from the texts of Palmira Jaquetti, a Catalan ethnofoklorist who visited the region during the second quarter of the 20th century and whose materials often reflect the Naut Aran dialect. Keywords: Occitan, Catalan, language boundary, Aranese, language transfer
Sobre col·locacions i altres combinacions lèxiques nom-adjectiu en el Diccionari Fabra
Authors: Martínez Salom Maria Àngels
Published: August 2023

Summary: This article takes Pompeu Fabra’s Diccionari general de la llengua catalana (1932 = Diccionari Fabra, DGLC) as a source from which information on lexical combinations is extracted. Those lexicographical entries are taken into account in which Fabra establishes a combinatorial constraint, according to which an adjective can be joined only with certain nouns or classes of nouns. The article has a dual purpose: on the one hand, to describe the type of restrictive combinations shown in the dictionary and, on the other hand, to reflect on whether it is appropriate to describe them all as collocations. Therefore, the existence of different combinations with respect to the constraints and to their stability is verified. According to these differentiating characteristics, it is proposed to reserve the term collocation to refer to stable and highly restrictive noun-adjective combinations, in which, moreover, the relationship between the denoted entities is not due to extralinguistic reasons. Keywords: lexical combinations, collocations, combinatorial constraint, stability, lexicalization, extrinsic elements, lexicography, adjective, lexical classes, lexical solidarity
"La gent no és conscient del poder que té": l'ús literari del folklore a Fungus d'Albert Sánchez Piñol
Authors: Samper Emili
Published: August 2023

Summary: Albert Sánchez Piñol’s novel Fungus marks the writer’s return to fantastic literature and involves the appearance of fungus, fantastic beings that can be identified with menairons. This article examines this novel, taking into account the role and characterisation of these beings, as well as the use of other elements from folklore that the writer uses in a fictional key and under an ironic perspective, in accordance with his narrative universe. The book becomes, from this point of view, an example of the literary use of folklore in fiction.Keywords: literature, folklore, anarchism, menairons, Fungus, Albert Sánchez Piñol.

Summary: In this article we compare the contemporary legend known as «revenge rape» with the literary versions present in several works of Catalan literature, such as the famous novel Estudi en lila by Maria-Antònia Oliver, and the short narrative that is at its origin, «Fils trencats»; the play Anna, o la venjança by Manuel Crespo Serrat, the short novel by Inés Vidal Farré El metge i un gos d’atura, and the story «Bèsties carnivores» by Carlota Gurt. We also mention some other cultural reflections of this urban legend, such as the Greek mythology, the rape and revenge films, and some specific contemporary films. Finally, the matching key points are extracted and a common pattern is formed.Keywords: urban legend, Catalan literature, Maria-Antònia Oliver, Estudi en lila, rapeand revenge, castration
Verbs psicològics transitius amb subjecte experimentador
Authors: Royo Carles
Published: August 2023

The article describes the behaviour of emotional psychological verbs in Catalan such as lamentar ‘to regret’ or odiar ‘to hate’, which participate in transitive sentences with an experiencer subject (SubjExp verbs). Like other sentences with emotional verbs, they have two characteristics: constraint of postverbal bare noun phrases and construction with a subordinate clause in subjunctive. These are features that differentiate them from other non-emotive psychological predicates and that determine which meanings of the verb behave as SubjExp. Within the verbal group, there are specific behaviours of predicates that admit an accusative object of personal reference (SubjExp(+pers) verbs such as odiar ‘to hate’) and those that do not admit them (SubjExp(–pers) verbs such as lamentar ‘to regret’). Some verbs, such as admirar ‘to admire’ or menysprear ‘to despise’, may have another lexical meaning that allows them to express a change of state in the experiencer, such as a patient, and to be part of a group of emotional psychological verbs other than SubjExp.
Ideologies lingüístiques sobre l’estàndard català: una aproximació des de Menorca
Authors: Solivellas Ivan
Published: August 2023

This contribution aims to analyse how the differentialist discourse is disseminated through the written press and to study the different discursive resources that it uses. To do this, firstly, a textual corpus has been created from a series of contributions in a Minorcan newspaper that disseminate differentialist topics, specifically the column «Rallant en pla» [‘Speaking in plain language’]. Secondly, the different contributions have been analysed using Critical Discourse Analysis in order to delimit the main and secondary ideas that support this type of argumentation, as well as the underlying political discourse, which is opposed to language normalization. In this regard, we have also studied how the different ideas are related, as complementary or opposing topics, and how certain data and resources are manipulated. This is, therefore, a further contribution to study linguistic differentialism, following previous related work (Duane, 2017; Boix-Fuster, 2020; Solivellas, 2021), but focused on the analysis of a corpus of opinion articles.

The study reviews the personal friendship and literary connection between the Valencian writers Joan Fuster and Vicent Andrés Estellés. From the 1950’s onwards, it studies their acquaintance and friendship, the cultural relationships between them, their shared projects, and also all the production they wrote about each other until the eighties. It is also analyzed how Fuster became a literary critic, disseminator and promoter of Estellés’ poetry in different publications and how, reciprocally, the poet incorporated in his poems the figure of the essayist and intellectual, making him even a literary character.
Tres gramàtiques per a tres moments de la història de la llengua del vuit-cents
Authors: Bell´´es Eloi
Published: August 2023

This paper proposes to divide the sociolinguistic history of the Catalan language in the 19th century into three periods: a first period that would still be characterized by the linguistic ideologies of the Ancien Régime; a second period in which the ideology of the Renaixença, of regionalist Catalanism, would predominate; and a third period in which Catalanism, already consolidated, would promote a recovery of all sociolinguistic spheres for Catalan. To illustrate the ideologies of each of these three periods, a representative grammar is analysed ideologically: Josep Pau Ballot for the first, Antoni de Bofarull for the second and Pompeu Fabra for the third.
Negres catalans, nacionistes i bandolers: genealogia d’un equívoc fusterià
Authors: Ponsatí-Murlà Oriol
Published: August 2023

The “Nationalism” entry in Diccionari per a ociosos, by Joan Fuster, develops, based on the finding in the Diccionari Aguiló of the term nationist [nacionista], an essay on Catalan collective identity in the modern era. According to Fuster, the existence of a term like this in the Catalan language long before the construction of modern national ideologies began anywhere in Europe reveals in an almost premonitory sense the Catalan national condition, halfway between the “excellent” peoples, like France, and the “frustrated” ones, like Occitania. Fuster deployed his hypothesis, however, without having checked the context of the source quoted by Marià Aguiló, a Dominican convent chronicle from the beginning of the 17th century: Lumen Domus. In this paper, we retrace the route Fuster did not take to understand the sense in which this unique witness to term nationist in the Catalan language appears.
Institucionalització de la literatura i institucionalització de la llengua literària
Authors: Ginebra Jordi
Published: August 2023

It is accepted, within the framework of the contemporary Catalan cultural system, that Pompeu Fabra was the architect of modern literary Catalan. The contemporary institutionalization of the Catalan language is therefore a product of the 20th century: a work of Fabra and Noucentisme. Yet before Fabra there was already modern Catalan literature, and there is no institutionalization of literature without an also institutionalized literary language. How is this contradiction resolved? The noucentists conveyed the idea that 19th-century literature was «languageless» literature, but a new look at the past compels us to rethink our views, and to ask ourselves whether reality requires further nuances. In this work, a proposal is made to periodise the progressive institutionalization of contemporary Catalan as a literary language, in a span that begins in 1859 and ends in 1913, with the implementation of the Fabra reform.
Reflexive SE with first and second person plural verb forms: A corpus study of spoken Valencian Catalan varieties
Authors: Herbeck Peter
Published: August 2023

This paper presents a corpus study of 1st and 2nd person plural verbs and their reflexive clitics in a sample of spoken Valencian Catalan varieties. Previous studies have observed that the reflexive clitic SE, which standardly appears with 3rd person verb inflection, can co-occur with verbs marked for 1st and 2nd person plural in some varieties of Spanish and Catalan. With respect to the latter language, it has been mentioned that the phenomenon is especially extensive in the Valencian Catalan varieties. By means of an examination of data from the corpus Parlars it will be shown that even within Valencian Catalan, there is considerable variation with respect to the following factors: (i) whether SE is used with 2nd person only, 1st and 2nd person, or none of the two specifications; (ii) whether SE is the only form or whether it alternates with proto-typical 1st and 2nd person plural reflexives (1PL mos and 2PL vos), and (iii) whether the first person plural reflexive mos can be ‘doubled’ by SE (mo(s) se). The data indicate that SE can be the result of processes in different components of grammar: in phonology, as the result of a reduction operation, in morphology as the result of the elimination of a person feature, or in the lexicon as a feature bundle that fully lacks person.

El presente artículo de investigación se inscribe en un enfoque que pretende comprender las trayectorias forjadas por las y los estudiantes de último grado de bachillerato de un colegio público en Cali, con el propósito de identificar qué aspectos influyen en las decisiones asociadas a esta transición. Para el desarrollo del estudio se empleó la técnica etnográfica de observación y entrevista a cuatro estudiantes. También se levantó información cuantitativa, a través de una encuesta de caracterización. Con esta orientación metodológica se pretendió primero, describir las acciones desplegadas por los estudiantes para insertarse a la vida adulta; segundo, identificar las orientaciones familiares e institucionales que recibieron los estudiantes para la toma de decisiones; y, por último, analizar la concepción de los estudiantes acerca de su propia transición a la adultez, mediante la identificación de diferencias en sus decisiones basadas en experiencias individuales. Este tipo de ejercicios investigativos abren las puertas para darles una nueva perspectiva a los temas de la juventud, sobre todo desde la cercanía y la confianza a las y los jóvenes, para comprender las acciones que llevan a cabo a partir de sus deseos y posibilidades (o cómo actúan y reflexionan a partir de la falta de las mismas).
Knowing Me, Knowing Them: Using Penned Illustrations with Known Participants
Authors: Barrett-Rodger Lewis , Goldspink Sally , Engward Hilary
Published: August 2023

In practice-based studies, participants are often known to the researcher as part of their professional realm. This can result in the researcher bringing preconceptions of the participants to the study, which may influence the findings. In this paper, we demonstrate how researchers can utilise reflexivity and imaginative curiosity to expose often unconsidered presuppositions about such participants using penned illustrations. We suggest that penned illustrations of known participants should be undertaken to unpack preconceptions of the known participants creatively and imaginatively. This paper provides an applied demonstration of how penned illustrations can be used in a hermeneutic phenomenological study, along with the philosophical foundations supporting this method. The paper guides the reader through why penned illustrations can be helpful in qualitative, hermeneutic phenomenological research when the insider-researcher needs to recognise, manage, and ethically work with the duality of their overlapping researcher and professional roles.
Media Ideology and Representation of The National Police Image in The Online Media Frame (Framing Analysis of Teddy Minahasa Drug Case in the October 15, 2022 Edition of Koran Tempo Online)
Authors: Yunior Dela Sulistiyawan
Published: August 2023

One of the advantages of online journalism compared to conventional media is accessibility and speed in getting news. However, despite these advantages, online news portals are not automatically superior to conventional media in terms of the value of journalism products or news content. However, media ideology is very influential in the process of news construction, especially through the framing of news. No exception about the news of the drug case that is entangling a Two-Star Police General, Teddy Minahasa, of course, the media is interested in reporting the issue. The method used in this study includes framing analysis developed by Pan and Kosicky, while the approach used is qualitative. In this study, results were obtained that showed that the online tempo newspaper in reporting the tragedy was critical, informative and provocative. This indication can be seen from the results of the framing analysis carried out, namely the main framing of the news is that a Two-Star General is entangled in drugs is a controversial thing and certainly damages the institution of the National Police. With syntactic elements is the strengthening of framing by using unbalanced source quotes so that they are not neutral in reporting. As for the script element, strengthening and enriching the news paragraph related to the How element is carried out to minimize the why element in the news. For thematic elements, there are 3 major themes, namely: 1. A Two-Star General Dragged into a Drug Case 2. Chronology of occurrence of the case 3. Suppression of the negative image of the Indonesian National Police. In addition, the selection of sources as a closing news, to emphasize that the condition of the National Police organization is very bad, is used as a whip for the National Police institution to improve its organization. The last is the rhetorical element, in this element the use of newspaper covers and some graphics to emphasize the element of news that seems hyperbole and provocative and even seems negative. In addition, it can be concluded that the tempo tempo online newspaper according to its media ideology constructs reality through a framing process for the purpose of representing the negative image of the Indonesian National Police in a news story.

Participaram do estudo 50 mulheres internadas em uma maternidade pública na cidade do Rio de janeiro, em pós-parto de parto vaginal que foram assistidas por enfermeiras obstétricas. A coleta foi realizada por meio de um instrumento semi-estruturado, contendo perguntas abertas e fechadas. A coleta de dados constou de duas etapas. Primeiramente, foi realizado a consulta no livro de registro de partos realizados por enfermeiras obstétricas. E a segunda etapa constou da visita às puérperas selecionadas e que estavam internadas no setor de alojamento conjunto. Os dados coletados através da gravação foram analisados pela técnica de análise temática. Resultados: emergiram as seguintes unidades temáticas: Reconhecimento da identidade da enfermeira obstétrica; Caracterização da atuação da enfermeira obstétrica: a visão das mulheres assistidas; sugestões das mulheres para a melhoria da atuação das enfermeiras obstétricas. Conclusão: as puérperas relataram uma experiência positiva em relação a assistência prestada pelas enfermeiras obstétricas, porém ainda possuem desconhecimento acerca da profissão e pela prática baseada em evidências científicas, o que indica a necessidade de ampliação do conhecimento desta temática.

Authors: BARBİERO Alessandro , HİTAJ Asmerilda
Published: August 2023

A discrete version of the continuous half-logistic distribution is introduced, which is based on the minimization of the Cramer distance between the corresponding continuous and step-wise cumulative distribution functions. The expression of the probability mass function is derived in analytic form and some properties of the distribution are discussed, as well as sample estimation. A comparison is also made with a discrete version already proposed in the literature, which is based on a different rationale. An application to real data is finally presented.
Expressão heteróloga de proteínas do vírus dengue em Komagataella phaffii para padronização de kits de diagnósticos
Authors:   , Mello Iago Oliveira de
Published: August 2023

O diagnóstico preciso, confiável e diferencial na fase inicial da infecção pelo Vírus da Dengue (DENV) é fundamental diante do risco de agravamentos da doença. Os sintomas de cada paciente podem variar muito, indo desde uma doença autolimitada chamada Febre da Dengue (FD) ou Dengue Clássica (DC), até às formas mais severas, como a Febre da Dengue Hemorrágica (FDH) e a Síndrome de Choque da Dengue (SCD), variando dentro de um espectro contínuo onde muitos pacientes apresentam sintomas leves acabam não recebendo tratamento adequado e, muitas vezes, não recebem o diagnóstico de infecção. Com o objetivo de padronizar e formular um diagnóstico preciso e confiável, através da expressão de proteína em K.Phaffi para obtenção do domínio III da proteína estrutural E dos DENV-1 e DENV-4, em larga escala, capaz de identificar a fase inicial da infecção pelo vírus, sendo fundamental diante do risco de agravamentos da doença, com potencial risco de morte. Utilizamos um sistema de expressão heteróloga de proteínas, para expressão do domínio III da proteína estrutural E do DENV-2 e -4. Onde atualmente, os principais centros de pesquisa e diagnóstico do mundo têm apresentado dificuldades na obtenção de preparações com conteúdo adequado de antígeno, necessitando concentrar o antígeno através de centrifugação zonal contínua de sobrenadantes de culturas infectadas, uma vez que a produção do DENV em culturas celulares é relativamente baixa. Este quadro ratifica a existência do obstáculo importante, à produção de antígenos, a serem empregados em ensaios usados na captura do anticorpo presente no soro do paciente infectado. Nesse sentido, concluímos que o sistema heterólogos de expressão de proteínas mostrou-se promissores devido ao alto rendimento, integridade antigênica e custo reduzido para produção em escala e abrir caminhos para produção de testes diagnósticos menos onerosos.

GPS Experiment to Detect the Speed of Light Greater than C
Authors: Sokolov Gennadiy , Sokolov Vitali
Published: August 2023

More than 100 years ago, Einstein proposed a synchronisation method to measure the speed of light with the movement of the beam "there" and "back". This method, in principle, does not allow measuring the speed of movement in one direction: if light travels in one direction at a speed C + V greater than C, and in the opposite direction at a speed C-V less than C, and covers a distance L for different time intervals t1 and t2, the average speed L / (t1 + t2) in accordance with elementary algebra you always get less than C. As the only argument for using this method of measurement, relativists still cal impossibility to accurately synchronize clocks separated by some distance, since "the speed of the clock changes with a change in the gravitational potential or their speed of movement”. The experiment we proposed with two GPS satellites will allow us to measure the travel times of signals between satellites both in the forward and backward directions and prove that the distance between the satellites the signal travels in one direction at a speed less than C, and in the other at a speed greater than C, which unambiguously proves the fallacy of the basic postulate of SRT - the postulate of the invariance of the speed of light.
Socio-Economics Importance and Its Determinant Factors of Wetlands in Eastern Ethiopia

Published: August 2023

Wetland in Ethiopia provides various socio-economic benefits for the local community and for the people who live around the ecosystem. Despite this, the wetland in Ethiopia provides various benefits to the local community, it is under severe pressure and degradation from natural causes and human activity. The present study aims to assess the socio-economic importance of the wetland that existed in the East Harerghe zone. Both primary and secondary data were employed to answer the study objective. Accordingly, a total of 220 respondents were selected to administer the questionnaire. SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis and a multiple regression model was used to see the relationship between dependent and independent variables. The income generated varies in two lakes, Lake Langie is 56,196.8 birr, whereas the mean annual income in Lake Adele is 54,662.6 birr. The determining factor for the income generated from the wetland is the respondent land size and the distance between the wetland and farmland. Among respondents, 53.2% of the respondents perceived that the lakes are highly degraded followed by less degraded 33.9% and 12.6% in good condition. Agricultural expansions are indicated as the major triggering factor for the degradation of wetlands followed by population pressure, sedimentation, deforestation, overgrazing, and poor law enforcement and regulation respectively. Most respondents are interested in participating in conservation activity and the recommended activity to tackle this degradation is soil and water conservation and tree planting activity.
The Socioeconomic and Environmental Benefits of Bamboo Forest in Ethiopia: A Review
Authors: Wakweya Rusha Begna
Published: August 2023

Bamboo plays a significant role in many socioeconomic aspects of life all over the world. Ethiopia, one of the African countries, is known for its high potential of bamboo forests. This paper aims to review the socioeconomic and environmental importance of bamboo forests in Ethiopia. The study used a critical review-based combination of searching for keywords such as bamboo, socioeconomic, environmental, benefit, Ethiopia, and inclusion and exclusion criteria to find relevant information. The results of this review indicated that bamboo has a substantial role in social, economic, and environmental purposes. However, the lack of awareness and consistent information about the socioeconomic benefits of bamboo forests in Ethiopia has been affecting its utilization for socioeconomic importance. Therefore, there is a need for awareness creation, such as training and development of bamboo markets and microenterprise industries in Ethiopia for socioeconomic and environmental benefits. The results of this paper can help farmers, extension workers, and policymakers by providing information on the conservation and proper utilization of bamboo forests for different socioeconomic and environmental purposes.
Employee Involvement Mediates the Relationship between Strategy Formulation and Implementation: the case of Rural and Community Banks in Ghana
Authors: Ackah Abena
Published: August 2023

Purpose: This study investigates the mediating role of employees in strategy formulation and implementation in rural banks in Ghana.

Methodology: The researcher surveyed 360 respondents from rural and community banks in Ghana.  Two hundred (270) respondents responded out of the 360 expected responses, representing a 75% response rate. The researcher used Amos graphics to examine employee involvement in the mediation role in the relationship between strategy formulation and implementation.

Findings: The relationship between strategy formulation and implementation was accepted (β = .0505, p = 0.000 < 0.05), the effectiveness of strategy formulation predicted the effectiveness of strategy implementation, and the employee mediation role between strategy formulation and implementation was accepted (β 0.140, p = 0.046 < 0.05). Employee mediates strategy formulation and implementation and predicts the effectiveness of strategy implementation.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study investigated the relationship between strategy formulation and implementation in the rural and community banks in Ghana and the role of employees in the relationship between strategy formulation and implementation, a theoretical contribution made to the field in the strategic management process.   There is limited current literature that has examined the mediating role of employees between strategy formulation and implementation in the rural and community banks in Ghana or used the variables in this study to make predictions and conclusions on employee role in the relationship between strategy formulation and implementation. The study recommends that strategy formulation should not be an exclusivity right for top managers and must be an all-inclusive process where all stakeholders within the RCBs are involved in the strategy formulation process, selecting the stakeholders from middle management, lower management, and employees. The selection must be limited to functional heads, unit heads, and employees with strategic roles and responsibilities to provoke positive strategic outcomes, leadership to encourage creativity, knowledge sharing among staff for new thinking perspectives and methodologies in the banks’ product and service offerings.
