Die kommunalen Parlamente in der Schweiz: Eine Frage der Sprachregion und weniger der Gemeindegröße
Authors: Strebel Michael
Published: February 2024

Communes form the third tier of the Swiss state structure and are organized differently from a political perspective . Parliaments are one possibility . In some Cantons, parliaments are the mandatory organizational form, while other Cantons lack the necessary foundations for a parliament; in other cantons again, the organizational form can be chosen . Parlia- ments are also unevenly distributed across the language regions: they are widespread in French- and Italian-speaking Switzerland, characterized by very long traditions, while less so in German-speaking Switzerland . In German-speaking Switzerland the communal assembly is most commonly found . Across all Cantons, only a few provisions by the legisla- tor define their internal organization . Parliaments have great freedom to shape their parlia- mentary law, such as their basic organization, frequency of meetings, procedures, speaking times, leadership, and parliamentary instruments; significantly, there are very different requirements concerning the number of seats . Consequently, parliaments are characterized by great heterogeneity .

Authors: Amin Mansour , Halvasaz Niloofar , Babadi Fatemeh
Published: February 2024

Background: This study aimed to compare the antifungal effects of herbal mouthwashes Cinnamol and Jaftex vs. Matrica and Persica, with chlorhexidine as the gold standard, on the growth of Candida albicans and C. glabrata. Methods: Antifungal activities of the mouthwashes regarding C. albicans and C. glabrata susceptibility to antifungals were evaluated using the broth macrodilution test. The mouthwashes' minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) were determined 3 times. The mouthwashes were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn-Bonferroni post-hoc test. Results: Mean MICs for C. albicans in the case of chlorhexidine, Jaftex, Persica, Matrica, and Cinnamol were 0.098%, 25.0%, 10.417%, 6.25%, and 3.125%, respectively (P = 0.008, excluding chlorhexidine: P = 0.015). Mean MICs for C. glabrata in these mouthwashes (in the same order) were 0.067%, 12.50%, 5.208%, 5.208%, and 0.781 (P = 0.009, excluding chlorhexidine: P = 0.039). Mean MFCs for C. albicans were 0.26%, 100%, 12.5%, 8.333%, and 3.125% (P = 0.009, excluding chlorhexidine: P = 0.015). Mean MFCs for C. glabrata in these mouthwashes were 0.134%, 25.0%, 10.417%, 10.417%, and 1.563%, respectively (P = 0.015, excluding chlorhexidine: P = 0.039). The MIC and MFC of C. albicans and C. glabrata differed between Jaftex and chlorhexidine (P ≤ 0.024). After excluding chlorhexidine, the MIC or MFC of Jaftex and Cinnamol differed (P ≤ 0.030). Conclusions: All the mouthwashes showed antifungal activity against C. albicans and C. glabrata. Among them, the newly introduced Cinnamol mouthwash exhibited the best antifungal activity against C. albicans and C. glabrata, while the experimental herbal mouthwash (Jaftex) was the weakest. Chlorhexidine showed the most potent anti-Candida effect compared to herbal mouthwashes.

When is “reasonable discussion” no longer an option? Under what conditions are we no longer required to listen and consider the opinions of others? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, the elderly narrator has two children who are no longer speaking to each other because of the upcoming election. One child supports liberal, open immigration policies, while the other supports the populist, emotional, and charismatic leader who believes in shutting down borders. There is a rally, and a counter-rally. The two protesting groups begin to merge for a pending street conflict. To stop the conflict, the narrator walks into the street with a bag of groceries, intentionally slips, and injures herself. She is helped up by her nursing aid, Asael, and members of the two conflicting groups. The video of the groups working together goes viral, making both seem like reasonable people. The populist candidate wins the election by a narrow margin and passes his anti-immigration laws. Shortly thereafter, Asael is in a car accident, and it deported to the violent country of his birth while his legal wife and family stay in the United States. Asael is tortured and killed in his home country. The narrator regrets ever having tried to stay moderate in the discussion, and regrets her role in making the populist candidate seem reasonable.

Published: February 2024

In the present work, the solubility values of codeine phosphate in the binary mixtures of pol-yethylene glycol 400 and ethanol are determined via a shake-flask method followed by spectro-photometry in the temperature range of 293.2–313.2 K. The attained solubility values of co-deine phosphate are correlated with some linear and non-linear co-solvency models. Additional-ly, the density of saturated mixtures is also presented by the Jouyban-Acree model at various temperatures. The accuracy of each used model is validated by the mean relative deviations (MRD %) of the back-calculated solubility and density data. The apparent thermodynamic prop-erties of codeine phosphate dissolution are also calculated using the van't Hoff and Gibbs equa-tions.

Objective: Peptic ulcer disease is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder associated with escalating global mortality rates and a heightened risk of gastric cancer. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of Benidipine, an L-type calcium channel blocker known for its antioxidant properties, in an indomethacin-induced peptic ulcer model in rats. Methods: Thirty-six male albino Wistar rats were divided into six groups and subjected to various drug treatments, including Indomethacin, Famotidine, and Benidipine. Stomach tissue samples were collected for analysis. Results: Macroscopic examination revealed that indomethacin significantly increased ulcer areas in the stomach tissue, while Benidipine and Famotidine treatments effectively reduced these ulcer areas. Biochemical analysis indicated that Indomethacin-induced oxidative stress, as evidenced by elevated levels of malondialdehyde, a marker of lipid peroxidation, and decreased levels of total glutathione and superoxide dismutase, are crucial antioxidants. However, Benidipine treatment mitigated these changes, restoring antioxidant levels and reducing malondialdehyde levels. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that indomethacin induces gastric damage and oxidative stress, leading to ulcer formation, while Benidipine, with its antioxidant properties, effectively counteracts these effects and exhibits comparable efficacy to Famotidine in ulcer reduction. These findings suggest that Benidipine may hold promise as a therapeutic agent for mitigating peptic ulcers induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Indomethacin, warranting further exploration in clinical settings.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has profound implications for higher education and teaching and learning. The present study, conducted at a state, comprehensive university (SCU) is the US Midwest, evaluated how effective faculty in a leadership focused program are at differentiating between human or AI-generated content. Participants reviewed 12 “student assignments” representing short answer essays, and completed the following tasks: 1) evaluated the assignment on three dimensions of the grading rubric; 2) assigned a percent grade; 3) indicated whether it was human or AI-generated; and 4) provided a rationale for their selection. Evolving technologies like ChatGPT and other LLMS are forcing educators to reconsider how they will interact with students as well as redefine what will constitute scholarly work in the future. Based on the study, we offer short- and long-term implications regarding AI for both the field of leadership and, more broadly, for faculty in many social science disciplines at SCUs. An exercise at the end of the article allows readers to complete a brief interactive to provide them with a similar revelatory experience as our study participants (see Interactive Reader Activity) before reading the remainder of this article. The Interactive Reader Activity contains three samples from the study—each of which was either human written or AI-generated. Answers are provided.

Water is an essential natural resource for maintaining life and its quality is influenced by the land use and occupation within a watershed. Furthermore, water quality has a direct impact on the health and well-being of a population. The present study aimed to carry out a macroscopic environmental analysis in shallow wells found in rural properties distributed in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, including the Uruguay River Basin. The evaluation period of the macroscopic parameters took place in April 2021. The physical characteristics of the water and the state of preservation of the shallow wells and their surroundings were visually evaluated in rural properties with predominant land use and occupation through dairy production, swine farming activity and seasonal crops (agricultural crops). As results obtained for the environmental macroscopic analysis, through the weighting of the characteristics observed in each parameter about the state of preservation of the shallow wells, it was verified that they presented different classifications, ranging from the Very Good class to the Poor, being possible to identify the main sources that cause negative impacts on the evaluated locations (state of vegetation, use by animals, protection of the area and proximity to residences). Therefore, rural producers were advised to carry out protection and care measures around these wells that presented lower classifications, Fair (38,10%) and Poor (19,09%) to improve the conditions and aspects that directly influence the quality of water for human consumption.

EXPERIENCE OF ASSESSING THE ETHNIC CONTRAST OF THE BORDERS OF THE REPUBLICS OF THE URAL-VOLGA REGION
Authors:   Pskov State University, Terenina Natalia K.
Published: February 2024

The experience of determining the ethnic contrast of the borders of the republics in the Ural-Volga region is presented based on a methodology that relies on assessing interethnic marriage rates between the titular nations of the republics and the Russian population. To achieve this, the study introduces an indicator called the Ethnic Contrast Coefficient, or the Soroko coefficient. The calculation of the coefficient is based on the assessment of «interethnic distances» defined by E. L. Soroko for pairs of major ethnic groups represented in the Ural-Volga region. The research revealed that the most ethnically contrasting borders in the region are those of Bashkortostan (excluding the section with Tatarstan), while the least contrasting are the borders of Udmurtia, Chuvashia, and Mordovia with neighboring Russian regions. The primary factor influencing the ethnic contrast of the borders between the republics of the Ural-Volga region is the religious factor, with the highest Soroko coefficient observed at the border between Chuvashia and Tatarstan.

The article discusses the most significant issues of legal regulation and forensic support for the identification of living persons carried out within the framework of pre-trial proceedings. Empirical materials illustrating typical mistakes made during this procedure are provided. The authors also emphasize the necessity of working with the recognized individuals during the identification process. Examples of procedural and criminalistic errors in presenting individuals for identification in conditions that exclude visual observation by the identifier are examined. The essence of presenting individuals for identification is defined as an independent investigative action, the procedure of which is regulated by Article 193 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. The main characteristic of identification is identified as the recognition (identification) of the presented object. The conclusion is justified that this recognition is the procedural form of criminalistic identification.
IMMANUEL KANT IN THE CULTURAL MEMORY OF KALININGRAD RESIDENTS (POST-SOVIET PERIOD)

Published: February 2024

The key commemorative practices associated with the name of I. Kant in the Kaliningrad region during the post-Soviet period have been examined in the article. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, due to the growing interest in the pre-war history of the region, there was an expansion of the landscape of “places of memory” related to and associated with Kant. This resulted in the establishment of the philosopher’s image in the cultural memory of the residents of Kaliningrad as a “local” historical figure. The main events of this period were the installation of the Kant monument, the restoration of the Cathedral (near the walls of which the philosopher’s tomb is located), and the inclusion of Kant’s name in the university’s title. Today, according to the results of mass sociological surveys, Kant remains an undisputed leader on the list of historically significant figures associated with the region. His name has firmly established itself as a tourist and marketing brand of the Kaliningrad region. Despite the integration of Kant’s image into the cultural memory of Kaliningrad residents, it retains a conflicting potential: there is a layer of “activists” in the region who perceive Kant as a foreign symbol, leading to “memorial clashes.”

One of the most important works left by Dimitrie Cantemir, among his rich writings, was "INCREMENTORVM ET DECREMENTORVM AVLAE OTHOMANICAE SIVE ALIOTHMANICAE HISTORIAE A PRIMA GENTIS ORIGINE AD NOSTRA VSQVE TEMPORA DEDVCTATE LIBRI TRES", translated nowadays under the title "HISTORY OF THE INCREASE AND THE DECAY OF THE OTTHMAN OR ALIOTHMAN COURT (FROM THE BEGINNINGS OF THE NATION TO OUR TIME), IN THREE BOOKS". Among other information, it also contains a description of the land and the city of Avlonia - i.e. Vlora (dominated then by the Sublime Porta), as well as the Albanians from that region who had several qualities: fierce fighters, builders of aqueducts (without formal education) and healers of hernia by surgical operation. The surgery part has a special significance. In 1734 ”Incrementorum...” was translated into English by pastor Tindal, historian and translator. He used a manuscript in Latin given to him by Antioch Cantemir, son of Dimitrie Cantemir. The English text was translated into French by Fr. de Joncquieres. In 1745, a German translation appeared in the city of Hamburg, also using the English edition. In 1876, the Romanian Academy, published Iosif Hodoş first Romanian translation of the German edition. Fragments adapted from this edition were then used by Romanian researchers, including historians of medicine, such as Pompei Samarian, Dr. Vasile Sârbu. The original Latin manuscript of Dimitrie Cantemir's text was to be found not earlier than 1984 by Virgil Cândea at the Houghton Library in the USA. The Latinist Dan Sluşanschi published the manuscript and made its first translation from Latin into Romanian. The surgeon Dr. A. E. Nicolau published fragments of this translation, namely the passage regarding the surgical cure. În 2015, years after Dan Sluşanschi passing, the Romanian Academy published the text of the transcribed Latin manuscript and a translation version. In parallel, another academic and surgeon, Mircea Beuran, highlighted Cantemir's text, in a different form, exposing in the Floreasca Hospital on large, colorful, how inguinal hernia was operated in the 17th-18th centuries.

The cultural gathering represented in Oltenia (and also at national level) a mean of extracurricular education, frequently used by cultural societies, associations and institutions, supported by state’s authorities, with the purpose of transmitting the complete general culture or, by case, to form a minimal culture within the ranks of the population. Starting from the idea that popular education was a concept and a pre-war solution, which in the interwar period knew qualitative changes we propose to approach the subject from two perspectives. The first treats the resurrection of the cultural movement in the first part of the Romanian interwar period and highlights the continuation of the pre-war tradition of transmitting the culture within the ranks of the population thru cultural societies and institutions. In this phase, the cultural gatherings have, in general, a similar typology in the urban or rural environment. The second perspective is focused on the analysis of village cultural gatherings in the peak period of movement of cultural houses (the 30s of the XXth century), because, in the urban area, the typology of the gatherings did not change very much compare with the previous period. On the other hand, in the rural area, the implementations of the complex strategy of modernisation of the villages thru the institution of the cultural house, conceived by Dimitrie Gusti and the Sociologic School from Bucharest and enforced into practice by the “Prince Carol” Royal Cultural Foundation, determined a typological diversity of the cultural gatherings, corresponding the specific realities and necessities of rural population. The subject is constructed through the analysis, mainly, of documentary materials from primary sources like documents from local archives and secondary source like scientific and cultural journals of the time, reports of some cultural associations etc., aiming the realisation of an overview of the cultural gathering in Oltenia.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Romanian cities were in the process of development, undergoing a series of profound transformations. Among them was Craiova, one of the country's top three cities by population and economic development. Dubbed the 'city of 1,000 millionaires', Craiova saw considerable progress in terms of urbanistic evolutions. At the turn of the century, a series of official and private buildings were erected, which over time became emblematic of the city. Elements of modernism also appeared in the form of public utility networks, which were absolutely essential for the functioning of a European city. The foundations of a stable and diversified local economy were also laid during this period.
ELITELE ȘI SOCIETATEA ROMÂNEASCĂ ÎN TIMPUL GUVERNĂRII LUI GHEORGHE GHEORGHIU DEJ

Under the notion of state socialism, Romania, during the period when it was led by Gheroghe Gheorghiu Dej, began to know the harmful effects of censorship, collectivization, centralizing policies. Romanian society, as a whole, and individuals, in particular, were subjected to severe transformations in order to achieve the "ideological purity" so desired by the rulers. Motivating his actions by eliminating arbitrariness from the economy and social life, the regime of Gheorghe Gheorghiu Dej worked against the great mass of the peasantry, the private capital existing at that time and the intelligentsia. The existing order, whose democratic approaches had now become a threat to the new state order, had to be changed.
The destruction of civil society and all its forms of free expression was also possible with the help of changes in national legislation. Abusive arrests, criminal trials without the slightest defense of the accused, the application of harsh punishments, all these were tools used to create the "new man".

Brethren in Romania dates back to the end of the 19th century, when the first Brethren Assemblies opened in Bucharest, initially in French. Since then it has spread nationwide, first to Muntenia and then to other historical regions. But the Great Union brought them all together under one national roof.
Shortly before the First World War, Brethren made their presence felt in Oltenia, thus becoming chronologically the third region with assemblies (churches) that were later called Bretren. The first community was formed in the commune of Goicea Mare in Dolj county. From there they arrived in Craiova, where in 1924 they formed a community of believers.
Over the course of a century, the Brethren community in Craiova has gone through different periods, from the years of establishment and development, to the construction of the first building, to the closure in the time of Antonescu, to the time of communist persecution with various problems, to the threat of demolition to the systematization and until today, when there are two local churches in the city. Their historical background is the story of some of the outcasts of the Bănia Fortress.

The debate in the area of Romanian communist urbanism overlooks a problem of language between the concept of „civic centre“ and the ideological content of the concept in Nicolae Ceauşescu’s Romania, a period during which there were built almost all the civic centres in the country. This is the reason why a few questions arise: Are the communist ideology and one man’s ambition able to diverge themselves from the rest of the society? Could Nicolae Ceauşescu overcome the phantasms and the ambitions that drew the whole of the modern Romanian culture?

As Romania celebrates 100 years since the First World War, The National Archives organized research projects aiming at discovering diaries, memorialist writings, or other contemporary sources. Thus, new, particularly interesting and relevant documents were identified. Among them, two manuscripts from the Service of the National Archives in Vâlcea County are impressive: the Diary of the 1916-Campaign, of Captain Ioan Ciulei, from the Second Vâlcea Infantry Regiment, and the Daily Notes from the Romanian-Hungarian-Bulgarian War in 1916, August 15, recording the memories of sub-lieutenant doctor S. Demetrescu, from the 44th Infantry Regiment. I transcribed the manuscripts in the collection of documents entitled Life on the Front War in Personal Writings, published in 2021. These memorialist writings describe the beginning of the Romanian-Bulgarian-Hungarian hostilities in the Olt valley and in southern Transylvania, the battles at Tălmaci, Cisnădia, Șelimbăr, Poplaca – in the Sibiu area -, the route of doctor S. Demetrescu’s regiment, and the imprisonment of Captain Ioan Ciulei in the German camp on the island of Dänholm. Memorialists mention various military units, officers with initiatives (Brigadier Generals Ion Manolescu, Matei Castriș, Ioan Oprescu, Ioan Popovici, David Praporgescu, Colonel Traian Moșoiu, Lt. Col. Gheorghe Zizi Cantacuzino), the experiences of many soldiers, living or deceased, lists of German camp prisoners, sequences of military operations and their aftermath.

Everything in Ion Ghica's correspondence, “Letters to Vasile Alecsandri”, is "in nuce", it belongs to a “beginning” that promises everything without concluding anything. Very little of what these letters contain provides complete pictures, concepts or truths within the limits of any accredited discipline. Everything is to be found in the course of this correspondence, the most extensive, and famous in the Romanian culture: sketches of history, outlines of political philosophy, philosophy of history, legislation, pleadings for a political regime and its ideologies, views on administration, revolution, reforms. Nothing is missing, just as nothing is carried through. Fortunately, there are premises and logic revealed for each. What I intended in “Unanswered Letters” was to show how from simple ideas, sketches or attempts one can get the full description of ideality.
ANTROPONIMELE ROMÂNEȘTI.
DE LA STRUCTURI SIMPLE LA STRUCTURI COMPLEXE

Anthroponyms, in any area of the world they are found, can only be analysed in the context of the language to which they belong. Onomastics, from our country and elsewhere, has developed, over time, its own laws regarding the formation of the names of places or persons, beyond the laws that act at the level of the lexicon of that language. Moreover, as in the idiom which it belongs to, they also mingled in onomastics, through "cohabitation" (or through connections at a greater or lesser distance) with other idioms, a series of allogeneic elements. However, neither the laws of onomastics, nor the influences from different languages work solely in accordance with the tradition, the typology and the rules of word formation of the idiom it belongs to.
In the current paper, it is analysed the manner in which the specificity of our language has left its mark on the internal structure of people's names: it is to be followed how extensive or how narrow this structure can be, given that the Romanian is a language of a derivative type; moreover, to where the influence of the language stretches, and from where the "freedom of action" of onomastics begins in the formation of anthroponyms, their structure in this case. We rely mainly on the anthroponymic material from Oltenia, but the analysis is extended, when thought necessary, on the names of people from other regions of the country as well.

It is interesting to watch how the two historical characters become contemporaries by accessing specialized websites, and not only that, and how they can positively influence the virtual collective mind.
Thus, this information puzzle represents a real support in the current endeavor, which consists in the contemporaneous placement of information regarding the outlaws Baba Novac and Gruia Novac

Today, street art is an inseparable part of the urban landscape. This form of culture was built on the Graffiti current. Current that in the 80's wore the coat of an illegal act (vandalism). This phenomenon has exploded and can also be observed in the big cities in Romania.
The artistic value of such cultural expressions is indisputable, but the same cannot be said about the legal treatment applied to them, which is why most artists choose to remain anonymous (Banksy). The wall is one of the favorite supports of this art form. Artists choose to create their works in the public space, on such supports, public or private, and which do not belong to them. Currently, street art does not benefit from proper regulation.
Street art can be protected by copyright rules. It is worth noting to what extent these tangible forms fall within the rules and limits of copyright.
