Междисциплинарные подходы к исследованию языкового ландшафта Закарпатской области
Authors: Шилов Володимир
Published: January 2025

Jelen értekezés az Ukrajna nyugati részén található Kárpátalja példáján keresztül tanulmányozza a térség nyelvi tájképét – különböző megközelítésekkel. A vizsgálatokhoz elengedhetetlen nyelvi anyag gyűjtése 2019 és 2021 között nyolc városban történt (Ungváron, Munkácson, Beregszászban, Huszton, Rahón, Técsőn, Csapon és Ilosván); a nyolc között mind a hat járási központ megtalálható. A történeti elemzés során megállapítást nyert, hogy Kárpátalja mai nyelvi tájképében a térség utóbbi másfélszázados történetének gyakorlatilag valamennyi szakasza tükröződik, az Osztrák-Magyar Monarchiától kezdve egészen a független Ukrajnáig. Ezen kívül megmaradtak bizonyos regionális sajátosságok, mint például a közép-európai idő (UTC+1) használata az Ukrajnában hivatalos kelet-európai idő (UTC+2) mellett. A helyi sajátosságok másik kifejeződési formája a kárpátaljai dialektus, mely üzletek nevében, reklámtáblákon stb. is megjelenhet. Ezeknek a nyelvjárási elemeknek egy része már a legkorábbi kárpátaljai (ukrán) nyelvű emlékekben megtalálható, melyek a XVI–XVIII. századból valók. Az ilyen szavak jelenléte a mai kárpátaljai városok utcáin a legjobb bizonyíték arra, hogy azok még továbbra is ismeretesek és használatosak a helyi lakosság körében. A kutatás nagyon fontos szempontja volt az utcai feliratok gyakorlati jelentőségének feltárása. A fő figyelem azokra az ukrán és orosz szövegekben előforduló hibákra irányult, melyeket a magyar nyelvi hatás okozott. Feltételezhető, hogy a magyarországi iskolákban orosz vagy ukrán nyelvet (mint második idegen nyelvet) tanuló diákok hasonló hibákat követnek el, különösen az idegen nyelv elsajátításának kezdeti szakaszában. Ugyanakkor a cirill és a latin betűk keverése nemcsak a magyarok sajátossága lehet, hanem az anyanyelvükben latin ábécét használó más nemzetiségeké is. A kutatás kiterjedt arra is, hogy Kárpátalján az utcai feliratokban hogyan keveredik az ukrán és az orosz nyelv.

Published: January 2025

The current paper deals with the green synthesis of AgO nanoparticle by sol-gel method and their characterization. Kinetic, mechanistic and thermodynamic studies of AgO nanoparticles catalyzed and uncatalyzed oxidation of oxcarbazepine (OXC) by chloramine-T (CAT) in acidic aqueous medium at 298 K . The stoichiometric parameters of reaction were determined, enabling the identification of the oxidation products for both uncatalyzed and nanoparticle AgO catalyzed reactions. The determined reaction rate exhibited first order dependence on [oxidant] for uncatalyzed reaction whereas non-integer order dependance on nanoparticle catalyzed reaction. The course of reaction shows non-integer order dependance was found on both [OXC] and [H+]. Further rates of reactions were almost unaffected by the products of reaction. A minor inhibitory impact of the dielectric constant was observed for both AgO nanoparticle-catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions. The reaction rate remained invariant with changes in ionic strength, suggesting the participation of non-ionic species in the rate-determining step. Free radical intermediates were not detected during the course of the reaction. A series of kinetic runs were performed at various temperatures (298-313 K) to evaluate thermodynamic parameters. The experimental data were used to develop a mechanism consistent model, from which the rate laws were derived.

Synthesis and Antioxidant Potential of Novel Benzimidazole Derivatives: A Comparative Study of Experimental and DFT Insights
Authors: Mall Rajiv , Kaur Maninder , Singh Varinder
Published: January 2025

Benzimidazole based novel compounds were synthesized and characterized using NMR, FTIR and mass spectrometry. Quantum computations, encompassing optimized structure, FTIR and NMR analyses, were conducted through density functional theory (DFT) employing the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) basis set. Compounds with the oxygen linker (6a and 6b) exhibit higher ZPVE (zero-point vibrational energy) and dipole moments than those with a direct linker, while chlorobenzyl-substituted compounds (6b and 7b) have higher dipole moments than their benzyl counterparts. The strong correlation (R2 ≈ 1) between experimental and computed 1H NMR and FTIR spectra confirms the accuracy of the B3LYP method. Among them, compound 7b shows the highest softness (0.927 eV–1), the smallest HOMO-LUMO gap (2.158 eV) and the best antioxidant potency (EC50 = 0.316 ± 0.001 mM), making it the most promising compound. This study underscores the pharmacological potential of the synthesized benzimidazole derivatives for future development.

Authors: Thattaril Suhaila , Thythottathil Nasheetha Rahman , Manniledam Kavitha
Published: January 2025

A novel PVP-ALG/ZnO hydrogel nanocomposite film was synthesized using a solution casting method. By incorporating ZnO nanoparticles into a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium alginate (ALG) hydrogel, the nanocomposite film demonstrated enhanced antimicrobial, mechanical and UV-blocking properties. Characterization techniques, including XRD, SEM, TEM and UTM, revealed an optimal tensile strength at a 0.0075 g ZnO composition. The composite exhibited superior swelling behaviour compared to pure PVP-ALG hydrogel in distilled water and buffer solution of pH 6.8. Drug-loading studies with cephalexin showed slower, sustained release under intestinal pH (6.8), attributed to ZnO-induced interactions. Antimicrobial analysis confirmed enhanced effectiveness and UV-blocking tests highlighted a high sun protection factor (SPF) of 7.9 for the nanocomposite film. The results highlighted the potential of the PVP-ALG/ZnO hydrogel as an excellent option for use in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields, especially for sustained drug delivery and protective applications.

Published: January 2025

Vitex negundo belongs to the family of Lamiaceae and is popularly known as sambhaloo or Chinese chaste tree. It is widely used as Indian medicinal shrub to prevent a variety of ailments including cancer. The aim of the study was to investigate the anticancer activity of solvent extracts and fractionates of Vitex negundo (VN) leaves against human lung carcinoma epithelial cells A549 by MTT assay. The leaves were extracted with various solvents by ultrasonic-assisted extraction method, in the sequel of non-polar to polar solvents from n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and ethanol:water (1:1). Among the four solvent extracts, the ethanol:water (1:1) extract has shown the significant anticancer activity (IC50 = 44.31 ± 0.61 at 5 to 300 µg/mL). Four components were isolated from ethanol:water (1:1) extract. The structure of these compounds were elucidated and identified as 4-OH benzoic acid (VN-EtOH+H2O-P1), negundoside (VN-EtOH+H2O-P2), isoorientin (VN-EtOH+H2O-P3) and agnuside (VN-EtOH+H2O-P4) by NMR, LCMS, FTIR and melting point. Among the four fractionated products, isoorientin showed the significant cytotoxic activity against A549 cells with IC50 value 18.50 ± 0.76 µM/mL. The standard drug, cisplatin IC50 values for anticancer activity of crude extracts (IC50 value 13.45 ± 0.084 µM/mL) were compared with that of pure compounds (IC50 value 14.27 ± 0.143 µM/mL). The bioactive compound, isoorientin (VN-EtOH+H2O-P3) as well as the standard drug, doxorubicin treated with normal human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells after 48 h, with an IC50 values of 416.57 ± 0.01µM/mL and 19.8 ± 0.01 µM/mL).

Published: January 2025

This study unveils the molecular structural and spectroscopic analysis of 4-(4-(4,5-dihydro-5-(4-isopropylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-phenyl)morpholine (IPH) to determine its biological behaviour and stability through a DFT study. Theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of the basis set and functional group have revealed unique and intriguing insights. Experimental UV-Vis, FT-IR and NMR analyses were carried out, predicting their functional group, mode of vibration and λmax at 300 nm, which also correlated with the DFT studies. The donor-acceptor interactions of molecule have been clarified by executing the natural bond orbital (NBO). Potential energy distribution (PED) was used to identify the vibration mode. To evaluate the 1H and 13C NMR, the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) approach is modified. The electronic transition of the molecule was established by applying the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) approach. It was found that the theoretical band gap was 4 eV, indicating that the molecule is reactive and stable. By examining the charge distribution and electrostatic potential of molecule, a significant data regarding its active area was revealed. Similarly, the electron-hole distribution was detected and the reactive sites were predicted through the electron localized function (ELF) and localized orbital locator (LOL) studies. The molecular docking was also performed to determine the biological behaviour of the molecules against prostate cancer and the inhibition rate and docking score were also calculated.

Published: January 2025

Forest fires have a profound influence on the economy, ecology, and environment. Realizing the potential of remote sensing in forest fire management, a study was taken up to investigate the spatiotemporal behavior of active forest fires in a mountainous terrain of Uttarakhand State, north India, using 15 years' time-series historical MODIS (C6) active fire point products. Results indicate an over-all fire incidence detection accuracy of 62.3% with a KHAT value of 0.59. Moreover, a regular trend in intra-annual behavior in fire incidences with peaks during the hot and dry period of the year was observed and a large year-to-year variability in fire regimes with no significant trends over time could be noticed. The approach and results are discussed in detail along with the future perspective.

GIS Approach for Mosaic Tesserae Recognition by Supervised Image Classification
Authors: Alfio Vincenzo Saverio , Pepe Massimiliano , Costantino Domenica , Baratin Laura
Published: January 2025

This article describes the methodology used to automatically classify the constituent elements of a monochromatic mosaic from the Roman era. The classification involved the recognition of the tesserae (fragments of black and white materials for the floor ornamentation) of the mosaic using tools and algorithms implemented in Geographic Information System software (GIS). The analyses were performed using sample images expressly created by varying the colors on regular tiles in order to test the validity of the supervised classification in the ArcGIS environment. Subsequently, the same methodology was applied on mosaics from an ancient Roman archaeological site at Saltara; the results obtained from the classification process were compared to those obtained through visual reconstruction and manual vectorization. To assess the final quality and to validate the models obtained, a series of quality indicators were considered. The experimental results demonstrated that this approach offers effective classification in a short amount of time, making it a valuable tool for supporting work in the field of cultural heritage and, in particular, for the restoration and conservation activities of these artifacts.
الخطاب النسوي وقضية الأمومة
Authors: Fattah Media I.
Published: January 2025

تقوم الدراسة بمناقشة قضية الأمومة في خطاب الموجات النسوية الثلاث التي تعتبر الأمومة من أبرز عوامل إضطهاد المرأة وتشبهها بالعبودية التي تختزل وجودها وكيانها في الإنجاب وتربية الأطفال. طرحت الموجة الأولى فكرة إنكار الأمومة والتخلي عنها كبديل للإضطهاد الذي تعانيه والذي يَسلِبُها حرية العمل وتحقيق الذات. طالبت الموجة الثانية بحق الإجهاض كبديل للأمومة التي تُعيق حُرياتها الوظيفية والإجتماعية. وجاءت الموجة الراديكالية بحلٍ أكثر جرأة وهو حقها في إختيار الأمومة إذا مارغِبَت في ذلك، لكن العلاقة الإجتماعية للأمومة قد تُسلبها إرادتها وحريتها، لذا فمن الأفضل أن تلجأ الى التكنولوجيا كي تصبح أماً من خلال التلقيح الإصطناعي، وهكذا تكون قد أصبحت أماً دون عِلاقة زوجية تُقَيد حرياتها الإجتماعية والمهنية. تهدف الدراسة الى التعرف على مواقف الموجات النسوية تجاه الأمومة، وتأثيراتها على المرأة الكوردية. لعبت آيديولوجيا الحركات النسوية دوراَ كبيراً في تغيير الوعي الإجتماعي للنساء في أنحاء العالم، وكان للمرأة الكوردية نصيباً من ذلك التطور الذي غير رؤيتها للأمومة وأصبحت تجِدُها مشكلة بحاجة الى حلول منطقية. تشير نتائج الدراسة الى أن تأثيرات البدائل التي طرحتها الحركات النسوية تباينَت بحسب الظروف الإجتماعية من جهة ومدى قُدرة المرأة الكوردية على إختيار تلك البدائل، خصوصاً أن بعض ماطرحته تلك الحركات يتعارض والموروث الديني والقيمي في المجتمع الكوردي. مادفعها الى إختيار البدائل الأكثر تماشيا مع القيم والأعراف الإجتماعية السائدة كتحديد النسل وتنظيمه، أو الإجهاض سراً، أو تجنب كافة البدائل لأسباب ودوافع بعضها ديني وبعضها الآخر إجتماعي ونفسي. إن الأمومة رغم صعوبتها كدور إجتماعي وجندري، فهي لاتزال قيمة عُليا وتُصًنف ضمن المراتب الإجتماعية العُليا في المجتمع الكوردي.
Positionnement des ports sur le marché du tourisme de croisière : diffusion des politiques d’atténuation des risques sociétaux et environnementaux dans le nord de la Méditerranée
Authors: Frédouët Charles  H.
Published: January 2025

Les autorités portuaires sont aujourd’hui de plus en plus attentives aux risques sociétaux et environnementaux liés à leurs activités de croisière. Plusieurs de ces ports sont de fait engagés dans une approche structurée et, pour certains, déjà ancienne visant à réduire les externalités négatives des escales des navires de croisière. Cependant, l’analyse du contenu de 36 sites web d’autorités portuaires a montré que très peu d’entre elles rendent compte de tels plans d’action. Sur la base d’une revue de littérature traitant des approches de positionnement de marque des autorités portuaires, l’objectif de cet article est de promouvoir la nécessité et la faisabilité pour celles-ci de diffuser de l’information sur leurs actions passées, en cours et/ou à venir en faveur d’un tourisme de croisière durable.
Nomophobia (NO MObile PHone phOBIA): a narrative review
Authors: Field Tiffany
Published: January 2025

Nomophobia, an acronym for no mobile phone phobia, is increasingly prevalent throughout the world, especially in young adults. It has ranged from 17% to 99% in different studies from different countries as a function of different age groups and variable severity of nomophobia. Although the term was coined in 2008, most of the research has been published since 2019. Most of the studies have focused on prevalence data and risk factors. The risk factors have included being female, excessive smartphone use, depression, anxiety and insomnia. The negative effects are similar to the predictors/risk factors including depression, anxiety and insomnia. However, very few studies are focused on negative effects. Further, no research could be found in this recent literature on potential underlying biological mechanisms or interventions.
Consensos y disensos para reformar el sistema de salud en Colombia
Authors: Uribe Gómez Mónica , Bedoya Ríos Paula Andrea , López Rúgeles Camila
Published: January 2025

Este trabajo analiza los consensos y disensos tras los intentos por reformar el sistema de salud colombiano en el período 2010-2024. Se argumenta que las transformaciones en las políticas públicas están moldeadas por procesos políticos complejos en los que diversos actores interactúan según sus intereses, recursos, roles, valores y estrategias para incidir en las decisiones. Para ello, se realizó un estudio de caso cualitativo que incluyó el análisis de múltiples fuentes, como archivos parlamentarios, proyectos de ley, sentencias constitucionales, prensa nacional, comunicados públicos de los actores y recursos institucionales en línea. Se concluye que la indagación sobre las dinámicas de los acuerdos y las divergencias en las políticas de salud permite comprender cómo se concretan o se obstaculizan los cambios, ya sea mediante la validación de ciertos intereses o la exclusión de otros.

Published: January 2025

Este resultado de investigación presenta algunos hallazgos, análisis y testimonios del alcance y de los límites de la justicia transicional en el Norte del Cauca y Sur del Valle del Cauca (Caso 05 de la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz) frente a la justicia propia de los pueblos en medio de la ‘Paz Total’ y la disputa militar que persiste en el territorio. El trabajo de campo —soportado en entrevistas, escuchas, diálogos, ceremonias, caminatas, mingas, grupos focales, encuentros académicos, debates con autoridades— constata la espiritualidad como eje de las prácticas de justicia propia y permite inferir que, más que un etnocidio o ecocidio, lo que aconteció y continúa sucediendo en el territorio es un exterminio biocultural de los pueblos indígenas y el pueblo negro, habitantes de esta parte de la geografía colombiana. También se identifican algunas de las barreras epistémicas que persisten en la justicia transicional y dificultan el avance hacia una interculturalidad material y cultural.

Objetivo: desvelar a percepção de dilemas éticos diante da branquitude de enfermeiras no cuidado de mulheres de diferentes raças no ciclo gravídico-puerperal.
Materiais e método: estudo fenomenológico, realizado com 10 enfermeiras, em 2022, em hospital público especializado em saúde da mulher, no município do interior da Bahia, Brasil, por meio de entrevista fenomenológica e análise da estrutura do fenômeno situado, guiada pelo referencial teórico de Merleau-Ponty.
Resultados: o dilema ético está relacionado aos princípios éticos e morais, bem como ao racismo estrutural, enquanto a branquitude foi percebida como a autodeclaração como branco. Foi encontrada ambiguidade nas experiências de dilemas éticos relacionados ao racismo, os quais são vivenciados por algumas enfermeiras que enfrentam situações de discriminação racial, enquanto outras, que não vivenciam tais situações, não percebem esses dilemas éticos da mesma forma. As formas de prevenir os dilemas éticos foram resumidas no diálogo, no cuidado humanizado, na igualdade e na integralidade.
Conclusões: este estudo desvelou que as enfermeiras não possuem percepção clara a respeito de dilemas éticos diante da branquitude ao cuidar de mulheres de diferentes raças no ciclo gravídico-puerperal.
Política económica del primer gobierno de la 4T. ¿Qué sigue?
Authors: Levy Orlik Noemi Ornah
Published: January 2025

El periodo neoliberal en México generó un fuerte retroceso en el crecimiento económico y el bienestar de la población, enfrentando desde el inicio una oposición popular. Sin embargo, sólo hasta 2018 cambió la correlación de fuerzas, cuando un opositor al neoliberalismo asumió la presidencia. A diferencia de otros gobiernos en América Latina, la estrategia del gobierno mexicano fue incluir a los sectores populares y, por esa vía ampliar el mercado interno sin desestabilizar la economía, preservando el sector exportador y los equilibrios fiscales.
Este trabajo sostiene que, aunque la política económica y social ha funcionado, necesita modificarse para alcanzar sus objetivos. Es crucial acelerar el crecimiento mediante la reindustrialización, fortalecer la industria nacional y exigir a la inversión extranjera la transferencia de tecnología, sin perder los equilibrios financieros, acompañada de políticas redistributivas. Y será fundamental una reforma fiscal para garantizar la continuidad del crecimiento con equidad.
Towards a progressive economic development agenda for countries endowed with natural resources: Lessons from the rise and demise of the Bolivarian Revolution
Authors: Vera Azaf Leonardo
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this paper is to identify some of the new economic challenges faced by left-wing forces in Latin America, especially in countries endowed with natural resources. We propose a set of progressive policy responses to prevent the regional Left from repeating the missteps of the policy agenda followed by the so-called Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela. We highlight the need to build an alternative based on what we call “progressive democratic development.” Our fundamental message is that the democratic Left has to overcome the misleading dichotomy that indicates that society is organized by the power of the state or the market. Instead prominence must be given to civil society. Several ideas are raised about how to work on the behalf of and lend prominence to civil society and the poorest segment of the population, particularly in the context of natural resource rich economies. The essay explores new formulas to manage mining and oil wealth, provide a social protection system to the growing informal sector, and to manage macroeconomic policy in a socially responsible manner.

Authors: Neva-Rodriguez Daniela , Ochoa-Gutierrez Luis Hernán
Published: January 2025

This research proposes a machine learning (ML) model that estimates the probability of emerald mineralization in rocks of the Western Emerald Belt (CEOC). Element concentrations, lithologies and coordinates were used as input variables and productivity as the target variable (176 samples). The variables were transformed to be integrated into the model. (1) Variable selection was performed using the Boruta method and backward elimination. (2) A logistic regression, a neural network, and a support vector machine were trained. (3) Calibration was achieved with the Platt method. (4) Calibration assessment was conducted by using the Brier score and calibration curves. The model selected was a calibrated support vector machine (C = 0.19 and λ = 0.1) that included 17 geochemical variables and the coordinates. The results were presented in a 3D plot. Assigning a probability value to each sample allows the mining targets to be ranked.

Limbo racial e seus desdobramentos
Authors: Cabral Ederson de Oliveira , Conte Daniel , Paiva Barbara
Published: January 2025

O artigo aborda a violência simbólica e seus efeitos na construção da identidade étnica, valendo-se da personagem Federico, no romance Marrom e Amarelo, de Paulo Scott. Destaca-se a importância da literatura na reflexão sobre temas raciais e na ressignificação da identidade étnica. Autores negros contemporâneos buscam espaço para suas narrativas, trazendo visibilidade a experiências não apenas subalternizadas, como também trágicas e traumáticas. A crítica literária desempenha papel fundamental nesse processo, uma vez que realça narrativas que fogem de estereótipos e evidencia como o racismo produz não apenas desigualdades materiais, mas também marcas psicológicas profundas. O método de pesquisa aplicado é qualitativo, utilizando leitura cerrada e análise heurística. Embasado na abordagem pós-colonial, o presente artigo objetiva identificar cenas que evidenciam a violência simbólica na obra, além de compreender seus efeitos na identidade de Federico. A análise pretende demonstrar como a literatura oferece uma percepção aprofundada dos afetos e conflitos vivenciados por sujeitos negros na sociedade brasileira.

Published: January 2025

Rabbit viral haemorrhagic disease (RVHD) is a fatal threat to rabbits causing long-term problems and significant economic losses. In the current study, RVHD was identified and characterised in naturally infected rabbits in order to assess the genetic diversity of RHDV circulating in different Egyptian provinces from January 2019 to January 2022. Nineteen suspected samples were collected from outbreaks that occurred in nine provinces during 2019–2022. Ten liver samples out of nineteen were positive in the slide and plate haemagglutination (HA) test. HA titres ranged from 5 log2 to 12 log2. RHDV-positive liver homogenates were confirmed with RT-PCR and histopathology. Further characterisation of the selected four viral strains was performed by nucleotide sequencing of VP60 gene. Based on nucleotide sequence analysis, three isolates were identified as RHDV2 strains, while one isolate was assigned as RHDV1 strain.

Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis are opportunistic zoonotic protozoan parasites related to diarrhea in humans and many mammals. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and genotypes of Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis in shelter dogs in Batman province. The animal material of the study consisted of 100 dogs of different breeds and sexes. Fresh fecal samples taken from the dogs were examined under the microscope by Kinyoun Acid Fast staining for Cryptosporidium spp. and by the native-Lugol method for Giardia. DNA extraction, nested PCR analysis, and sequence analysis were then performed. As a result of the analyses, all samples were negative for Cryptosporidium spp., while Giardia duodenalis was positive in 2% (2/100) of two female dogs less than one-year-old. Sequence analyses of PCR-positive samples showed that the samples overlapped with assemblage C and D samples. Although these results show that shelter dogs in Batman province do not carry a risk for humans in terms of Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis, it is recommended that repeated faecal examinations should be carried out as much as possible to determine the possible role of these parasites in human transmission.

Oral nerve blocks are an indispensable technique for pre-emptive pain management in various veterinary procedures, including tooth extractions. Local anaesthetic drugs are considered the safest and the most effective agents to inhibit oral pain. Recently, tramadol was used as an adjuvant to local anaesthetics to increase the duration of analgesia. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of maxillary nerve block induced by lidocaine or lidocaine-tramadol on perioperative pain in dogs undergoing upper fourth premolar extraction. A randomized blinded clinical study was conducted over five months involving sixteen animals divided into two groups, Group L (8 animals, Group Lidocaine) and Group LT (8 animals, Group Lidocaine-Tramadol). Both drugs provided effective pain control during and after surgical intervention, but lidocaine-tramadol resulted in longer analgesia than lidocaine alone. These findings suggest that the maxillary nerve block with lidocaine-tramadol can ensure adequate and prolonged pain control in dogs undergoing dental extraction. Although these are preliminary results, tramadol showed promising effects as a potential drug to use during oral surgery in association to local anaesthetics.

Objective

To identify associations between the occurrence of sacrocaudal fusion and the potential morphology of certain hind limb bones in actively racing greyhounds.

Methods

The calcaneus, talus and patella from each hind limb were collected from 94 male and 77 female mature greyhound cadavers and grouped into four groups; right or left bones from greyhounds with a standard or fused sacrum. The measurements were recorded for the following parameters: body mass of the greyhound, mass, length, and width of the right and left calcanei, tali and patellae.

Results

A fused sacrum (4 sacral vertebrae) was present in 41% of specimens. The right and left calcanei, tali and patellae in greyhounds with a standard or fused sacrum were anatomically similar. Overall, left to right asymmetry was found, in the width of calcaneus (P < 0.01) and the talus (P < 0.05) and the length of calcaneus (P < 0.001) all these being larger in bones from the left hind limbs. Comparing bones from dogs with a fused or unfused sacrum showed that the right calcaneus length (P < 0.05) was significantly less than the left in those greyhounds with standard sacrum; the right calcaneus width was significantly less (P < 0.01) than the left in those with a fused sacrum. There were no significant differences in the means of measurements of bones between greyhounds with a standard and those with a fused sacrum except for the mass of the right (95% CI 0.22 to 1.10, P < 0.01) and left (95% CI 0.18 to 1.04, P < 0.01) calcaneus which were heavier in greyhounds with a fused sacrum than those with a standard sacrum.

Conclusion

In a population of greyhounds that race on anticlockwise tracks, the left calcaneus was wider and longer than the right and the left talus was wider. This asymmetry was more significant in dogs with sacrocaudal fusion and those dogs had more massive calcanei than dogs with standard sacrums, suggesting a difference in the way these bones were loaded in dogs with sacrocaudal fusion compared to dogs with the standard sacral anatomy.
Ungarn als Bollwerk des Abendlandes und der Türkenkrieg zur Zeit von Johannes Hunyadi und Matthias Corvinus
Authors: Costanza Salvatore
Published: January 2025

As far as concerns 15th-century Hungary, there is a rhetorical closeness in the literary writings of Italian Humanists such as Enea Silvio Piccolomini, Francesco Filelfo, Antonio Bonfini or Sicilian Pietro Ranzano. Their panegyrics of John Hunyadi and his son King Matthias Corvinus give the exalted portrait of these rulers as Christian warlords and defenders of the Faith against Turks. Hungary is currently identified as bulwark of the Western Christendom opposed to the expansion of the Ottoman Empire. This topos is also echoed by Pope Sixtus IV and his Chancellery and also by late Scholastic chronicler János Thuróczy. The Hungarian bulwark image was, thus, spread among European sources starting from the 16th century. Hungarian superiority at the head of European powers was, thus, assured through this propagandistic theme.
Les origines et la structure de la Chronique de Morée
Authors: Török Ábel
Published: January 2025

The paper discusses the creation of the Chronicle of Morea (Τὸ Χρονικὸν τοῦ Μορέως), the author's intentions and the structure of the work. The endings of the two earliest Greek manuscripts of the Chronicle differ: one continues the story of the Peloponnesian Franks in chronological order, the other ends with a significantly earlier, out-of-place legend of Sir Geoffroy de Briel, of almost 400 lines, a story mentioned thousands of lines earlier in the other manuscript. An overall analysis of the poetic work and the significance and location of this detail suggest that the Chronicle, like the ancient epics, may have been composed of smaller units that were performed as separate pieces. The first half of the paper examines the structure of the Chronicle in detail, exploring what holds the individual units together and for what purpose they were structured as an organic whole. It then analyses the issues of the above-mentioned story, which does not fit the structure: the excerpt contains several folktale motifs, but also parallels with the stories of the antiheroes of the chansons de geste (Crusade cycle). It shows the possible links between the Chronicle and the Old French chansons and how the French literary and cultural tradition influenced the work.
