The Disembodied Disconnect Hypothesis: How Online Interactions Undermine Neurobiological Foundations of Social Cohesion
Authors: Riva Giuseppe , Wiederhold Brenda K. , Mantovani Fabrizia
Published: June 2024

In his book “The Anxious Generation”, Jonathan Haidt suggests that digital technologies are rewiring children's brains and causing a mental illness epidemic. However, as noted by different colleagues, this claim is not supported by scientific evidence. In general, most available data are correlational, and when researchers find causal effects, they are small or inconclusive. As the debate on the neurodevelopmental impact of digital technologies persists, we introduce the "Disembodied Disconnect Hypothesis." This perspective posits that social media and digital platforms are fundamentally altering the landscape of human sociality without necessarily rewiring cognitive structures. We argue that while these technologies offer novel avenues for interaction and community-building, they significantly differ from traditional, embodied forms of social engagement. This disembodied nature of digital interactions may exacerbate existing social inequalities and mental health issues, particularly for those already struggling with loneliness and social anxiety.
A parallel kinship universe? Using Dutch kinship network data to replicate Kolk et al.’s (2023) demographic account of kinship networks in Sweden
Authors: de Bel Vera , Bokányi Eszter , Hank Karsten , Leopold Thomas
Published: June 2024

This commentary on “The Swedish Kinship Universe” by Kolk, Andersson, Pettersson, & Drefahl (2023) examines whether the Swedish findings are generalizable to another demographically advanced population, the Netherlands, and whether differences in cohort fertility patterns and divorce rates affect the frequencies of different kin types. Our commentary also contributes a further empirical validation of kinship statistics calculated from microsimulations and aggregate fertility and mortality data. By analyzing Dutch kinship network data consisting of ties to grandchildren, children, nieces, nephews, siblings, cousins, parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents, we first identified large similarities, corroborating that the picture drawn by Kolk et al. (2023) might indeed be generalized to other demographically advanced (Western) contexts. Second, we observed a trickling down of differences from one generation to the next one (reflected in higher numbers of aunts, uncles, and cousins in the post-SDT cohort resulting from the Dutch baby boom). This finding demonstrates how periodic differences such as the intensity of the baby boom produce a lasting legacy in the demography of families, even if these differences were relatively short-lived. Third, other family-related behavioral changes – specifically separation and divorce – play an important role in shaping kinship networks and cross-national differences in their composition.
Censorship in Large Societies
Authors: Heo Kun , Zerbini Antoine
Published: June 2024

An authoritarian regime faces a heterogeneous citizenry that consumes information from a regime- controlled and an opposition outlet that is known to be, if anything, biased against the regime. We characterize the optimal reporting strategy for the regime-controlled outlet and the existence of censorship incentives for the regime, assuming that censorship is cost-less. Fixing a median citizen, whether censorship is optimal depends on where the mass of citizens lie on either side of the median citizen. In polarized societies, a non-monotonic relationship emerges between censorship incentives and the opposition outlet’s reporting slant against the regime.

Художньо-педагогічна інтерпретація як методична основа фахової підготовки магістрів музичного мистецтва
Authors: Щолокова Ольга Пилипівна
Published: June 2024

Розкривається сутність феноменів «інтерпретація», «музична інтерпретація» і ключове поняття «художньо-педагогічна інтерпретація». Висвітлюються погляди сучасних вчених на проблему «художньо-педагогічна інтерпретація». Цей вид інтерпретації пов'язаний не тільки з виконавською, а й з музично-просвітительською діяльністю педагога-музиканта. Вона містить два основних компонента: музичне виконання і просвітницьку діяльність. Відповідно підсилюється значення вербального інтерпретування музичних творів, яке характеризується перекладом з художньої мови музичного твору на вербальну мову. Зазначено, що вимоги до фахової підготовки магістрів музичного мистецтва зумовлюють пошук нових форм та методів навчання, які поєднують у собі музично-виконавські та вербальні складові. Відтак метою художньо-педагогічної інтерпретації є розкриття сутності музичного твору, його внутрішніх властивостей і зовнішніх зв’язків. Саме такий аналіз доцільно здійснювати у всіх формах педагогічної роботи.

Polyethylene glycol fumarate (PEGF) with controlled structural composition has been obtained for further synthesis of double network crosslinked hydrogels for biomedical applications. The copolymer has been synthesized by polycondensation reaction of fumaric acid and polyethylene glycol (PEG-600). Molecular weight of PEGF has been determined by gel permeation chromatography to be approximately 6000 Da with gel permeation chromatography. The polycondensation of fumaric acid and PEG-600 was studied throughout the reaction process. The structure of the reaction product has been evidenced using FTIR- and 1H NMR-spectroscopy. The quantitative ratios of the amount of –C=C– bonds and –COO groups to –C=O groups in the obtained PEGF have been estimated from IR-spectra for different synthesis time. The time-dependence of molar ratio of double bonds to methyl groups in PEGF has been obtained from corresponding 1H NMR-spectra. FTIR and 1H NMR-spectroscopy, both, demonstrate that after the end of reaction the unsaturated –C=C– double bonds remain in the structure of the macromonomer, that is essential for further preparation of cross-linked hydrogels. The addition of the tightly cross-linked network of polyvinyl alcohol leads to formation of highly tough biocompatible material for preparation of the artificial meniscus which can further be used as a solution n the treatment of diseases such as osteoarthritis.

Published: June 2024

A legislação brasileira prevê a possibilidade de interrupção da gestação em casos de risco de vida materna, abuso sexual e anencefalia, permanecendo desamparadas gestantes de fetos com outras malformações congênitas incompatíveis com a vida. Dessa forma, esse artigo apresenta a opinião das mulheres não gestantes de um município do Norte do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, acerca da interrupção ou manutenção da gestação em malformações congênitas incompatíveis com a vida, no intuito de refletir condutas adequadas para o bem-estar físico e mental da mulher e familiares, no que concerne à escolha da interrupção da gestação e suas correlações socioeconômicas. Desse modo, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo observacional, analítica-transversal, em 9 Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS’s) do município de Erechim, sob a forma de questionários. As participantes responderam questões como nível de escolaridade, remuneração, conhecimento sobre as malformações congênitas e opinião sobre a interrupção da gestação. A pesquisa foi aplicada em 122 mulheres com idade entre 18 e 49 anos, não grávidas, frequentadoras dessas UBS’s. Concluiu-se que 70% das participantes deste estudo apoiam a existência de escolha, por parte da mulher, pela interrupção ou não da gestação em caso de malformações congênitas incompatíveis com a vida. Sendo que, destas que apoiam, 86% são pertencentes à classe socioeconômica mais alta, com maior escolaridade e conhecimento sobre as implicações médicas das malformações congênitas.
Світова фінансова криза, пандемія коронавірусу, війна та що іще (не) вважається істотною зміною обставин (стаття 652 ЦК України)
Authors: КАРНАУХ Богдан
Published: June 2024

Дослідження присвячене статті 652 ЦК України, згідно з якою сторона має право вима­гати розірвання або зміни договору у разі, якщо обставини істотно змінилися порівняно з тим, якими вони були станом на момент укладення договору. Ця стаття належить до тих, на які сторони договірних спорів покликаються дуже часто, але майже ніколи – успішно. Мета статті – спробувати розібратися із причинами такого стану речей в українській судовій практиці й визначити, за яких умов можна розраховувати на успіх у доведенні того, що обставини змінилися настільки істотно, аби задовольняти умовам застосування статті 652 ЦК України. Методо­логічно дослідження побудоване на аналізі практики вищих судових інстанцій України із вкрапленнями порівняльно-правового методу та зверненням до норм міжнародного контрактного права і практики інших юрисдикцій. У першій, теоретичній, частині статті пропонується загальне пояснення того, що таке істотна зміна обставин і яке місце вона посідає в динаміці розвитку договірних відносин між сторонами. Істотна зміна обставин порівню­ється з форс-мажором. Далі розглянуто і проко­ментовано пʼять умов застосовності статті 652 ЦК України. За цим слідує розбір знакових категорій справ, які ілюструють складність у доказуванні істотної зміни обставин. Це справи, повʼязані з такими історичними подіями, як: світова фінан­со­ва криза 2008 р., заборона грального бізнесу в Україні у 2009 р., націоналізація Приватбанку у 2016 р., пандемія коронавірусу і повʼязані з нею карантинні обмеження та, зрештою, – війна і повномасштабне вторгнення російської федерації в Україну. Огляд і критичний аналіз знакових судових рішень дає змогу наповнити ознаки істотної зміни обставин конкретним змістом і виявити тенденції, що означили себе у судовій практиці.
Архітектура безпеки бізнесу

Захист бізнесу від воєнних викликів сього­дення, повоєнне відновлення України та інтег­рація в європейський простір орієнтує дослід­ників на розроблення комплексу заходів забез­печення безпеки бізнесу. Еволюція підходів у дослідженні безпеки підприємницької діяльності пройшла шлях від мікрорівня національної еконо­мічної безпеки до інтегрованого ризик-менеджменту в корпора­тивному управлінні за міжна­родними стандартами. Рекомендації представ­ників різних галузей знань потребують узгодження базової термінології, систематизації основних елементів безпеки бізнесу в загальну архітек­туру та врегулювання означеного процесу спе­ціальним законодавчим актом. Гіпотеза досліджен­ня полягає у підтвердженні доцільності розгля­дати безпеку бізнесу як складну архітектуру, що характеризується багатогранністю взаємозв’яз­ків та взаємовпливу складових елементів як всередині системи, так із зовнішнім середо­вищем. Державне врегулювання бізнес-середовища має не лише стимулювати розвиток певної сфери національної економіки (вплив суб’єкт – об’єкт), а й визнавати суб’єктність підприємців (взаємодія держава – підприємство), пріоритет інтересів останніх, розширюючи свободу та гарантії захисту для бізнесу. Метою статті є розкриття архітек­тури безпеки бізнесу, обґрунтування складності взаємозв’язків елементів, комплексності в роз­робленні заходів забезпечення безпеки підприємства. Запропоновано авторську матрицю забезпечення безпеки підприємства на тактичному (до 1 року) рівні та узагальнену схему архітектури безпеки бізнесу на стратегічному рівні провадження підприємницької діяльності.
Islam as the Problem, Christianity as the Solution
Authors: Raietparvar Ana Maria Gomes
Published: June 2024

This article analyses Christian missionaries working on converting Muslim Iranians to Christianity. Their methods are based on a logic of rupture and discontinuity with Islam, presenting Christianity as the solution to a moral-political crisis of Iranians in the Islamic Republic. Anti-Islam is the focus of this conversion discourse. In a transnational Christian network formed by Iranians and non-Iranians, the evangelical missionaries work with methodology that breaks and dialogues with society and the local culture of their target audience, presenting evangelical Christianity as an alternative for Iranians. This research was carried out based on participant observation in missionary groups and Christian churches for Iranians, via digital media and face-to-face, contributing to the understanding of the conversion of Muslims to evangelical Christianity.
Migrant Souls
Authors: Pinto Paulo G.
Published: June 2024

This article analyses the reconfiguration of religious identity in the Druze community in Minas Gerais, south-eastern Brazil, which was formed by the arrival of immigrants from Lebanon in the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. The immigrants created ethnic and religious institutions destined to maintain Druze identity and its Islamic character. However, the transmission of religious knowledge to the generations born in Brazil was fragmentary and imperfect. Nevertheless, Druze identity was maintained by many and completely recreated in the religious context of Catholicism and Spiritism, while the connection to Islam faded away. The analysis focuses on how religious authorities and the belief in reincarnation were the main elements that allowed continuity in religious identity together with the transformation of tradition.

Powdery mildew (PM) caused by Erysiphe necator Schwein [(syn. Uncinula necator (Schweinf.) Burrill.] is an ascomycete biotrophic fungus of grapevine, leading to substantial yield and economic losses in infected crop. Thirty-four genotypes of Vitis vinifera L., including commercial varieties and hybrids, two genotypes of V. champini, three interspecific hybrids of Vitis species and two wild indigenous Himalayan species, namely V. parviflora and V. jacquemontii were assessed for resistance to powdery mildew using the leaf disc method in-vitro with E. necator isolate and in the field under natural condition during 2022 and 2023. Significant differences in the scores among the grape genotypes were observed in both in-vitro and field conditions. Resistance evaluation under both conditions classified V. parviflora, 110R, Coudere 1613, Dogridge, St. George and V. vinifera cultivars like Male Hybrid, Pusa Navrang, Blank Prince and Merlot as resistant sources, which can serve as valuable donor parents for breeding programs. Correlation analysis illustrated the negative correlation between disease severity index (DSI) and temperature (r = -0.50 (max), r = -0.48 (min)), rainfall (r = -0.07) and a positive correlation with relative humidity (r = 0.42). In-vitro inoculation, Organisation Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin Descriptors (OIV) scores (7 days post inoculation (dpi)) showed a negative correlation with hyphal area percentage (r = -0.90) and a positive correlation with necrosis (r = 0.86) indicating the resistant genotypes showing necrosis at the infection site and thus restricted the pathogen growth

A novel zebra leaf mutant, Pusa Zebra 18 derived spontaneously from F2 intercross population of Pusa 44 near-isogenic lines (NILs) exhibits distinguishable yellowish cross bands across the green leaf blade, specifically expressed in the seedling stage from 6 DAT, which diffuses progressively, leading to the recovery of the normal green leaf by 30 DAT. We elucidated the genetics and nature of inheritance for zebra trait in F2 and BC1F2 populations by crossing Pusa 6B with Pusa Zebra 18. The leaves of the F1 were a normal green color, indicating that the seedling stage zebra leaf trait in Pusa Zebra 18 is recessive. Chi-square goodness of fit analysis of these segregating populations showed that the segregation ratio was fitting to the Mendelian segregation ratio of 3:1. The seedling stage zebra leaf mutation in Pusa Zebra 18 is monogenic recessive in nature. Further, mapping, fine mapping, cloning, and functional characterization need to be carried out, which will help gain insight into the mechanism involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis and regulation studies in rice.
Studies on inheritance of yellow vein mosaic virus (YVMV) resistance in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) cv. Pusa Bhindi-5 and effect of YVMV disease on fruit nutritional quality

Published: June 2024

The present investigation was carried out by involving six generations of okra, i.e., P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 (F1 × Pusa Bhindi-5) and B2 (F1 × Pusa Sawani) developed from two contrasting parents, one susceptible cultivar Pusa Sawani (P1) and another newly developed Bhendi yellow vein mosaic virus (YVMV) resistant variety Pusa Bhindi-5 (P2). The experimental data showed the maximum PDI (percent disease incidence) in susceptible parent Pusa Sawani (95.56%) followed by B2 (47.5%) and F2 (29%) after 90 days of sowing, whereas Pusa Bhindi-5, B1 and F1 were recorded highly resistant to YVMV disease even after 90 days of sowing. Backcross population B2 and F2 fell into the moderately susceptible (MS) category, whereas parent Pusa Sawani was recorded as highly susceptible (HS). Based on F2 and backcross data, the nature of inheritance of YVMV resistance in Pusa Bhindi-5 was found to be monogenic dominant. Analysis of t-test for the significance of the difference between the mean values of infected and healthy fruits was found to be highly significant with higher probability (p-value <0.05), indicating that the viral infection caused changes in the biochemical/nutrient contents such as protein, carbohydrate, dietary fiber, total ash and minerals. Most of the nutrients were negatively affected by the YVMV. Thus, this study ascertained the qualitative damage caused by this virus.

Drought is an important limiting factor for cane production globally, imposing significant constraints on cultivation. In this study, we have evaluated eleven sugarcane hybrids with improved germplasm bases of S. officinarum, and S.robustum under both drought and normal conditions at tropical and sub-tropical region. Combined analysis of variance revealed highly significant effects (p < 0.05) of environments, genotypes and G × E interaction for all studied traits. Severe drought stress was observed in both locations, with a reduction in cane yield and its related traits. GGE analysis under stress conditions indicated that clone 14–90 (G8), a high yielder, performed well in all eight environments. Seven stable clones, namely, 14–161 (G1), 14–111 (G5), 14–90 (G8), 14–58 (G6), 14–34 (G9), 14–124 (G11) and 14–83 (G3) exhibiting adaptive yield-enhancing traits under drought were identified along with displaying resistance to red rot. Selected clones, namely, 14–161, 14–131, 14–90 and 14–144, performed better for yield in sub-tropics, while clones 14-–161, 14–111 and 14–90 performed better in the tropics. Clone 14–90 showcased, the strong performance across all the environments and locations, emerging as the leading genotype and suggested for utilization in pre-breeding programs for both tropical and sub-tropical regions

Published: June 2024

A total of 96 melon germplasm from four horticultural groups were undertaken for genetic characterization using 107 microsatellitemarkers. The average diversity indices of microsatellite markers, viz., allele number, major allelic frequency, gene diversity, expectedheterozygosity and polymorphic information content, were 2.69, 0.84, 0.25, 0.06 and 0.22, respectively. The neighbor-joining dendrogramgrouped the melon germplasm into four major clusters with distinct separation of Indian reticulatus germplasm from that of the exoticgermplasm adapted in India and wild agrestis germplasm. Population structure analysis deciphered two main subpopulations broadlycorresponding sweet melon preferred by consumers from sub-species melo and non-sweet wild agrestis melon separately along withadmixtures. This finding was validated by principal coordinate analysis. AMOVA analysis further partitioned the whole genetic variationamong individuals (74%), within individuals (22%) and among populations (4%) with low genetic differentiation and high levels of geneflow among subpopulations. A total of 12 microsatellite markers produced 19 unique alleles among 24 germplasm, which would actas a distinct DNA fingerprint for germplasm identification and legal protection. The present study provided a deeper understanding ofthe genetic structure of melon germplasm and will assist in formulating future breeding programmes.
Unraveling genetic complexity: Identifying black gram (Vigna mungo L.) genotypes for rice fallow conditions
Authors: Thamodharan G. , Geetha S.
Published: June 2024

A study on generation mean analysis was conducted to determine suitable genotypes of black gram (Vigna mungo L.) for rice fallowconditions, considering various agronomic traits controlled by quantitative inheritance. The Hayman’s six-parameter model, utilizinga Random Block layout with two replications over six generations viz., P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1, and BC2 involving six parents viz., MDU 1, VBN(BG) 6, Mash-114 and ADT 3, PU 31 and CO 6 was followed. The filial generations derived from four crosses, along with their parentsinvolved in the hybridization, were evaluated at TRRI, Aduthurai, during the summer of 2019 under rice fallow conditions. The focus ofthe evaluation was on yield and its nine component traits, including plant height, branches per plant, 50% flowering, pods per cluster,pod number, 100 seed weight, and single plant yield. The study revealed a predominant influence of the duplicate dominant gene onthese yield attributes, indicating the complexity of the genetic basis. This complexity suggests that conventional selection methods may be hindered, making heterosis breeding or bulk method/recurrent selection more favorable for obtaining the desired gene combinations in genotypes suitable for rice fallow conditions.

Published: June 2024

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) being the major food crop of the north-eastern region, combating floods in rice fields for higher economic yield is a major challenge. A core panel, consisting of local rice landraces that have been cultivated in the flood-prone areas of this region for years, was used for this GWAS study to uncover possible genetic resistance sources to submergence. A study on GWAS was conducted to understand the mechanism of resistance of rice under water-submerged conditions through higher expression of genes. The GWAS analysis of a core panel of 400 rice landraces generated 38,723 filtered SNPs. The result showcased nine loci across the 12 rice chromosomes, one locus each in chromosome 2 and 4, five loci in chromosome 6, and two loci in chromosome 9. The two promising loci among these nine identified loci codes for zinc fingers, C3HC4 type domain-containing proteins, with FDR adjusted p-values of 0.04 each and allele effect of 4.60 and 4.57, respectively. These GWAS-identified association signals are a valuable source for allele mining and can be validated and introgressed into elite germplasms to decipher submergence tolerance in future breeding programs.

The demand for cellulosic fibres as a reinforcement in polymers is growing due to their renewable, biodegradable, and ecologically favourable properties. In addition, they are lower in density than e.g. glass fibres, which will help in making lightweight composites. Besides, there is no health hazard with ease of processing and minimum damage to the processing equipment. Despite their advantages and high demand, their utilization in industrial applications is still limited. This is due to their inherent polar and hydrophilic nature and their consequent incompatibility with hydrophobic polymers. Therefore, it is often necessary to do hydrophobic modification treatment. The review examines a range of strategies for modifying ramie surfaces, encompassing physical, chemical, and biological processes. It also analyzes the procedures and techniques involved in the preparation and manufacturing of ramie-reinforced polymeric biocomposites. Moreover, an investigation is conducted to evaluate the performance of the composites produced. The performance evaluation includes both before and following fibre treatment, covering surface morphology, wettability, chemical composition, mechanical properties, and flame retardancy. Most of the researchers reported that alkaline and silane coupling agent treatments are the most prevalently applied pretreatments. Compared to biological and physical methods, the application of chemical agents enables excellent adhesion of fibre to polymer resins. However, the utilization of solvents such as ethanol and methanol increases the amount of waste produced and toxic compounds released.

Male Heroes, Female Victims. Joseph August von Törring's Dramas from Bavarian Regional History: Kaspar der Thorringer (1779/1785) and Agnes Bernauerinn (1780)
Authors:   Universitatea Națională Kapodistrias Atena, Lindinger Stefan
Published: June 2024

The chivalric dramas Kaspar der Thorringer and Agnes Bernauerinn, very popular at their time, were written by the Bavarian nobleman and statesman Joseph August von Törring (1753-1826). They are based upon subjets taken from 15th Century Bavarian history and combine the medieval setting of a chivalric drama in the style of Storm and Stress with values derived from the world of thought of enlightened absolutism. In both plays, the male protagonist goes through a development from an egoistic power figure to one who acts altruistically in the interest of the community, a process of purification, however, to which the female protagonist falls victim, insofar as the loss of her life provides a decisive impetus for his behavior change.
Can Heroes Be Outsiders? - Narratives of the Feminine in the Novel Group Portrait with a Lady Heinrich Böll and in the Film with Romy Schneider
Authors:   Köln/Colonia, Fuhrbach Clemens
Published: June 2024

This paper raises the question of whether traditional narratives and cinematic productions serve a patriarchal expectation. For this purpose, the first step is to confront the definition of heroic poetry with a feminist perspective. While the hero must represent the typology of possibilities of human action, the heroine additionally serves the narrative of auctorial 'femininity'. Using the novel Gruppenbild mit Dame as an example, the article shows how Heinrich Böll democratizes the process. The representation reflects how a group negotiates an image of women. At the same time, the voice of the character is absent almost throughout. In this sense, the film version with Romy Schneider shows how bourgeois expectations can be counteracted by human action.
True Story & Fictional Protagonist as a Bestseller
Authors:   Universitatea Lucian Blaga din Sibiu, Sava Doris
Published: June 2024

Thirty years after the collapse of communism, film productions with historical thematic references to the former GDR take up the horrors of the GDR regime with its perfidious surveillance system, reunification and the Wende period as an important historical event in fictional or documentary form and are popular internationally. GDR film and TV series, i.e. embedding the plot in a historical setting, are well received by international audiences. The article captures the potential of the film character Kleo Straub, the protagonist of the successful eight-part Netflix series Kleo (2022), for the storyline and in doing so also questions the credibility of the "true story" that did not "really [happen]" (prologue).
The Realm of Brave Men?
Narratives on the Development of the Transylvanian Carpathians Around 1900
Authors:   Universitatea Transilvania din Brașov, Cotârlea Delia
Published: June 2024

This article aims to trace narratives about the beginnings of mountaineering in Transylvania to determine the extent to which well-known members of Transylvanian mountaineering associations are subject to processes of heroization through socio-cultural practices. Therefore, we will first deal with strategies and techniques of heroization in order to then outline the historical development of the Siebenbürgischer Alpenverein (Transylvanian Alpine Association) (1873) and the Siebenbürgischer Karpathenverein (Transylvanian Carpathian Association) (1880) and to interpret their practices in the context of possible heroization processes.
The influence of Turkish cuisine in Romania
Authors:   Universitatea Konya, Turcia, Gürsoy Yüksel
Published: June 2024

Romania is a major country in south-eastern Europe, located in the northern region of the Balkans. Due to Romania's proximity to Western European countries and the transit routes that reach these countries, various peoples have settled in Romanian lands since ancient times. Between 1400 and 1878, the Ottoman Empire ruled Romania. The Turks brought their unique cuisine along with the other customs and traditions to the places they conquered. In Romania, and particularly in the Dobruja region, we see the interplay of Turkish names in kitchenware and food and drink.
The heroes have grown tired [...] Remarks on the use of the catchword hero/erou in German and Romanian
Authors:   Universitatea Bucureşti, Ratcu Ileana-Maria
Published: June 2024

The paper undertakes to study the lexeme "hero" on different linguistic levels in both German and Romanian. The paper follows two theses. The first thesis is that thanks to the compositeness of German, the free morpheme "hero" is part of many composite, either as a first member or as a second member of a composition. Besides the composites that can be discovered in digital and printed dictionaries, there are many other composites, some of which are occasionalisms and some of which are linguistically assertive. The second thesis is that the colloquial and ironic use of the word and the pejorative connotations are becoming more and more important so that a different importance in the meaning representation of the lexeme is detectable in both languages, but to different degrees.
Come On, Be Good! It's Nearly Over... .German and Romanian Forms of Address in Communication between Pets, Vets or Pet Owners and the Animal to Be Treated
Authors:   Universitatea Bucureşti, Fierbinţeanu Ioana Hermine
Published: June 2024

The form of address is one of the most important features for making contact in society. Dictionaries and grammars provide very little information on the subject, so in each situation, learners have to take into account factors such as Communication situation, age of interlocutors, social status, and official nature of the situation to make an appropriate decision. Based on recordings and interviews, I try to ascertain what pronominal and nominal forms of address occur in German and Romanian veterinary practices. In addition to the first names, pet names and nicknames with which the pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, cows, ducks, etc.) are addressed by the pet owners and the veterinarians, nominal phrases such as Guter Junge! or Un băiat cuminte! (A good boy) appear. In addition to the forms of address mentioned above, Romanian also has reverse forms of address and interjections of address.

Das Konzept der Femizide
Authors: Koç Güneş
Published: June 2024

Der Begriff Femizid bezeichnet ein Konzept, das den Mord an Frauen aus misogynen Gründen untersucht. Die Hintergründe der Gewalt gegenüber Frauen werden dabei in den vergeschlechtlichten Machtverhältnissen verortet. Femizide ereignen sich sowohl in der Privatsphäre als auch in der Öffentlichkeit. Motive für Femizide sind auf der Mikro-Ebene a) Besitzgier, Eifersucht und der Glaube, ein sexuelles Anrecht zu haben und b) Trennung, Scheidung und Verlust sowie auf der Makro-Ebene der Analyse c) Backlash. Bei Femiziden spielen intersektionale Aspekte und institutionalisierte Gewalt eine Rolle.

Bruno Latours Denken als performative Sozialwissenschaft
Authors: Zahner Nina Tessa
Published: June 2024

Der Beitrag zur Debatte über performative Sozialwissenschaft in dieser Zeitschrift befragt Bruno Latours Denk- und Forschungspraxis nach der Verbindung von Kunst und Wissenschaft. Es wird gezeigt, dass Elemente ästhetischen Denkens in Latours theoretischer Architektur an zentraler Stelle integriert sind und wie sie Latours Wahrnehmen von Welt prägen. Im Anschluss wird argumentiert, dass Latour in seinem Denken und Forschen bewusst ästhetische Darstellungsformen einsetzt, um einerseits die Situiertheit seines Denkens und Forschens sichtbar zu machen und andererseits seiner Theorie als subversiver Praxis zu öffentlicher Wirksamkeit zu helfen. Abschließend wird mit Blick auf die documenta fifteen auf die ethisch-politischen Implikationen der bei Latour wirksamen Denktraditionen eingegangen.
