Teological overview Choan-Seng Song about Jesus suffering
Authors: Suksmono Ari , Ming David
Published: August 2023

Choan-Seng Song is an Asian theologian who is quite determined to think about how to apply biblical values in an Asian context. Song tried to theologize not based on Western theology but instead he formulated Asian theology, which took the area not only in the church but more broadly in Asian society. Shoki Coe, a theologian from Taiwan - together with Song - who is also Director of the Theological Education Fund, wrote in the introduction to Song's book titled Christian Mission in Reconstruction: An Asian Analysis: First, Song's challenge to theologize in an Asian context is very heavy and Song with enthusiasm who overflowed trying to answer it. Second, Song reflects his theology well and consistently. Song corrected the mission of Western Christians who had lost the dynamics of the incarnation. His theological strength was to reject Western values and Song found God's incarnation in the lives of Asians. The author uses the approach of exegesis research methods and apologetics to examine the extent to which the concept of Jesus - which is central to Song's theology - as a figure of "suffering" is applied to the phenomena that occur in society. The essence of the contextual pressures is how Song used to break through the values of the suffering Jesus. The purpose of this writing is divided into three parts, namely: the first part contains the concept of Song about Jesus suffering, which is seen from the biblical aspect, the symbol of the cross, Jesus as the center of the mission of suffering in the world, theology of the people, the suffering messiah, and the politics of the cross. The second part, to look for the biblical basis of Jesus who suffered (for aesthetics), the author executes Mk 8:31; 9:31; and 10: 33-34 and to find the biblical basis Suffering is a characteristic of Christians, the writer executes 1Pet 4: 12-19. The third part is evaluating (apologetics) Song's thoughts with the author's exegesis from positive and negative aspects.
Stop and account process
Authors: Cojocaru Elena
Published: August 2023

Over time, we notice that the measure of identification of persons has undergone small changes, and the refusal of identification has become a problem among police officers performing their duties. Thus, the laws were created to ensure public order and the safety of citizens, and then to sanction violators. In the theme, we took into account what various authors have published in the books written by them, regarding the identification of people and all the activities that a policeman has the obligation to perform, as well as the laws by which the French police carry out their activity. The purpose of stop and account a person is to procure a set of rules for establishing a person's identity and carrying out the tasks regarding the preparation and approval of the documents related to this procedure. Romanian and foreign citizens have the obligation to legitimize themselves on the territory of Romania either with an identity document, or verbally if they do not have any document on them, whenever they are asked to do so by the officers and agents of the Romanian Police, as well as on the territory of France.
The Effect of Informed Consent in Communicating with PLHIV in Siaya, Kenya
Authors: Marimba Benson , Mberia Hellen , Kimalu Paul
Published: August 2023

Purpose: The purpose was to establish the effect of informed consent in communicating with Person’s Living with HIV (PLHIV) in Siaya, Kenya.

Methodology: This was both a descriptive research and inferential design. Data was collected using a field survey involving two sets of questionnaires for key informant and PLHIV interviews. Spearman’s rho correlations and simple linear regression models were used to estimate the relationship between the independent variable (informed consent) and the dependent variable (communication), and ANOVA test was done to test the hypothesis.

Findings: The calculated proportionate sample size was 374. However, the respondents rose to 396 which represented 96.18% of those who agreed to be interviewed, with 17 rejections which were removed from analysis leaving a sample of 376. Normality Test was conducted to determine the study sample was drawn from normal population. Under null hypothesis, there was no difference between the sample and the population from which the sample was drawn and therefore there was significant evidence to reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis (p-value=0.000 CI=95%). Further, findings show that 82.30% enrolled onto the Text for Adherence (T4A) mobile app voluntarily and 70.71% signed the consent form and 6.07% stated that consent was implied.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Technology Readiness (TR), Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Diffusion of Innovations (DOI were used to anchor future studies. This study has concluded that it was important for individuals enrolling into mhealth communication interventions to consent and this responsibility is for system supporters in mhealth space. The findings further established that enrolment onto mhealth apps improves health status of patients suffering from chronic illnesses. This has implications for policy changes or improvements in mhealth generally in Kenya and globally. A positive intervention such as Text for Adherence (T4A) should prompt the government to scale up enrolment by supporting system supporters or taking over the enrolment entirely as a matter of public health promotion.
Comparison of K-Nearest Neighbor, Naive Bayes Classifier, Decision Tree, and Logistic Regression in Classification of Non-Performing Financing
Authors: Putra Rizky , Dewi Ratih Iis
Published: August 2023

The Non-Performing Financing (NPF) indicator of one of the Islamic Banks in Indonesia in the 1st to 3rd quarter of 2021 in a row of 9.69%; 9.97%; 9.46%. The NPF movement tends to improve slightly from time to time but still exceeds the maximum limit stipulated in Bank Indonesia’s Regulation Number 23/2/PBI/2021, which is no more than 5%. This shows that the Islamic bank has a financing performance that can be said to be less good. Preventive steps that can be taken to reduce the NPF ratio in order to improve the health of the bank is to classify prospective financing customers. This research was conducted using the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC), Decision Tree, and Logistics Regression classification methods to predict potential financing customers. The dataset is divided into 80% training and 20% testing. It was found that the best classification result was the Naive Bayes Classifier in the proportion of distribution of 80% training data and 20% testing data with an accuracy value of 84.69%, sensitivity of 58.25%, and specificity of 90.16%.
Croatia’s defence policy in the shadow of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war (2020-2023)
Authors: Harangozó Dániel
Published: August 2023

This paper reviews some of the current issues in Croatian military and defence policy in the period 2020-2023. It concentrates on three topics: defence spending trends and major defence modernization projects, the conflict between the Prime Minister and the President and its effects on the defence system, and Croatia’s reaction to the Russia-Ukraine war. The paper concludes that after a longer period of stagnation and decrease, defence spending has shown an increasing trend since 2020-2021. Defence spending as a share of GDP approaches, and the share of equipment expenditure within defence spending exceeds the levels recommended by NATO (2 and 20 percent, respectively). This is mainly the result of a one-off transaction, the purchase of French Dassault Rafale fighter aircraft. Due to the changed security situation in Europe after the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war, defence spending levels might remain elevated in the future as well. However, the continuous disagreements between the Prime Minister and the President in the defence and security sphere might pose a risk to efficient functioning in this field.
Az amerikai szankciós politika hatása a nagyhatalmi versengésre
Authors: Goreczky Péter
Published: August 2023

A gazdasági szankciók alkalmazása jelentős hatással van a háborúk közti időszakok világgazdasági és -politikai folyamatainak alakulására. Az elemzés arra a kérdésre keresi a választ, hogy az Egyesült Államok napjainkban alkalmazott szankciós politikájának – ezen belül az Oroszországgal szembeni pénzügyi szankcióknak, illetve a Kína ellenében alkalmazott technológiaexport-korlátozásoknak – milyen hatása van és lesz a jövőben Washington és Peking versengésére. Az amerikai technológiaexportot korlátozó politika változása mutatja, hogy Washington célja befagyasztani Kína technológiai fejlettségét a jelenlegi szinten. Az Oroszországgal szemben hozott pénzügyi szankciók nem gyorsították fel egyelőre a dollár trónfosztását és a renminbi térnyerését. Az Oroszország ellen hozott intézkedések hatását tompítani tudták Ázsia egyes gazdaságai, ami a világgazdaság súlypontjának eltolódását jelzi. Gazdaságának súlya miatt valószínűleg az USA vonakodna ugyanazokat az eszközöket bevetni Kínával szemben, mint Oroszország esetében. A további fejlődéshez Kínának egyelőre érdeke a gazdasági kapcsolatok fenntartása a Nyugattal, ezért rövid távon inkább egy defenzív ellenszankciós stratégia jöhet szóba Peking számára. Hosszú távon a nemzetközi pénzügyi rendszer átalakulása révén tompíthatja Kína az esetleges amerikai szankciós politika hatásait.

Russia’s Strategic Failure in Ukraine
Authors: Itugbu Dr. Stephen
Published: August 2023

While the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 certainly had the immediate goal of eliminating pro-Western leadership and replacing it with a puppet, this strategic move was not successful, and the invasion has now escalated into a full-blown war. This article investigates the challenges involved and the variables that have contributed to Russia’s strategic decision to have Ukraine on its side becoming one in which it battles to maintain its hold on the tiny portions of Ukraine that it controls. Why has Russia failed to achieve its goal, and what elements will continue to influence the ongoing conflict? This study highlights both internal and external reasons that have influenced the nature of the war, including the Ukrainian political leadership’s willingness to take a permanent stand against Moscow’s age-old plan to annex Ukraine and deprive it of its freedom. The report concluded that Russia’s strategic approach not only failed in Ukraine but also complicated its relations with most of the states on its western borders, making its plan to keep Ukraine or any eastern European nation in its sphere of influence nearly impossible. The document urges a diplomatic settlement to the war while noting that this is problematic in light of Moscow’s unwillingness to yield and Kyiv’s desire to withdraw Russian forces from all of its areas unconditionally.
Treasury Single Account: An Assessment of its Compliance in Ghanaian Covered Entities.

Published: August 2023

Treasury Single Account (TSA) is an indispensable tool for consolidating and managing government as well as covered entities cash resources, thereby reducing borrowing costs and improving efficiency in treasury management. In countries or covered entities where the banking system is fragmented, some funds may not be accounted for properly within a reporting period. The study population was covered entities which generate internal funds to support their operations and also receive subventions from the government. The population was stratified into five (5) groups and a quasi-random sampling technique was used to select the sample size. The study used chi-square to test the hypothesis and it was found that covered entities in Ghana do not comply with TSA concept in managing their cash resources.
A Study of Pre-Islamic Religions in Afghanistan
Authors: Bidar Aminullah , Rohani Mhabobullah , Balkhi Dost Mohammad , Anwari Gulaqa
Published: August 2023

The magical and vast nature of Afghanistan has been one of the most essential factors in the implementation of strategic plans of great powers throughout history in this part of the world including its strong economy in the Middle Ages and the tall mountain ranges, plains, and flats, desert areas, rivers and the special geopolitical situation showed the magnificence of the country to the explorers. Therefore, yesterday's Khorasan and today's Afghanistan hosted them at certain times, and the powers came and went, or they were dissolved among the native people with their cultural and ideological mixing. The arrival of pre-Islamic religions is one of the consequences of those movements, whose remains include golden cups from the treasure of Flaul Hill, Greek works of Ai Khanum, vases with Roman sheaves, small Indian plates found in Bagram, and luxurious jewelry. Tala Tepe and thousands of other remains talk about the artistic, cultural, and religious mixing of this ancient region. Receiving works from many places such as Hoda, Bamiyan, Bakhtar, Gandhara region, etc. in Afghanistan is a clear expression of the existence of Greek-Bactrian civilization and the spread of Greek culture and ideas with our religious mixtures, before the spread of the holy religion of Islam, as Gandhara was the main route of trade caravans and the passage of Buddhist missionaries to the eastern lands of the country, it was considered the first place to build Buddhist statues. In Bamiyan, Salsal is 55 meters high and Shamameh is 35 meters high, and it stamps the seal of Buddhism on the forehead of the time. The art of high-quality paintings indicates the existence of another religion called the religion of Mani, which was inspired by the Indo-Greek style in the spirit of the industry of the Sassanid period. Shivaism and Brahmanism in Kabul and the coronation of Rayan Kabuli in the region of Shiyuki (Shiva's place) and Andaki (Andra's place) in the southwest of current Kabul, and Shiyuki idols of Shiva and Andaki idols of Indra and Brahma existed because these two are considered to be the lords of the Brahmins. Here still possible to visit those places and hold special ceremonies there, which indicates the existence of this religion in Afghanistan before Islam.

Published: August 2023

Background: Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) is one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome in non-diabetic adults, accounting for up to one-third of biopsy diagnostics in some regions. A watchful waiting strategy has been adopted to accurately assess the success of MGN. In this study, we predict prognostic risk factors for primary MGN patients for effective intervention. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study design involving 125 biopsy-proven MGN subjects on follow-up from January 2012 to October 2019 in Hospital Serdang and Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Result and Conclusion: After the median follow-up of 36 (15.0-57.0) in months, 26 (20.8%) consisting of 17 (13.6%) primary MGN and 9 (7.2%) secondary MGN subjects achieved complete remission while 17 (13.6%) and 10 (8.0%) of primary and secondary MGN subjects respectively achieved spontaneous remission. Subjects with nephrotic range proteinuria have 2.917 odds more at risk of primary MGN while subjects with hypertension have 2.417 odds risk of primary MGN compared to those with no hypertension at presentation. Multiple logistic regression models retained only factors directly associated with MGN with only nephrotic range proteinuria associated with primary MGN. Those with nephrotic range proteinuria were 3.04 times the odds of primary MGN when compared with those without nephrotic syndrome (95% C. I = 1.089, 8.472). The nephrotic syndrome could be used to determine the prognosis in patients with primary MGN especially those at risk of end-stage renal disease.

This study seeks to describe the spectrum, clinicopathologic characteristics and treatment options of UGM in the department of radiotherapy and oncology UDUTH, Sokoto within the study period. Materials and Methods: This was a 5-year retrospective review from 2nd January 2014 to 31 August 2019 of all the UGM referred to the radiotherapy and oncology Centre, UDUTH, Sokoto. The analyzed variables included the patient's age, sex, the organs involved, histopathological diagnosis and the treatment. Results: Ninety-eight (98) UGM were referred to our facility, however only 90 had complete clinical record during the 5-year period under review; the male-to-female ratio was 7.3:1. The organs involved were the prostate (27; 27.5%), the bladder (49; 50.0%), the kidney (8; 8.2%), the testes (3; 3.0%), the penis (2; 2.0%) and the adrenal (1; 1.0%). The prostate histological variant was adenocarcinoma (100.0%). Squamous cell carcinomas constituted 67.3% of bladder cancers, whereas 62.5% of renal malignancies were renal cell carcinomas. The commonest form of treatment was the External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) constituting 34;34.3% however the aim of treatment was adjuvant in 52.9% and palliative in 47.1%. Conclusion: This study shows the commonest UGM seen in UDUTH are prostate and bladder cancers. Furthermore, the study revealed a high rate of squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder in the region which correlate with schistosomiasis as the possible etiological agent as majority of them were farmers.

Mejoras a la capacidad de generalización de la inteligencia artificial
Authors:   , Fumanal Idocin Javier
Published: August 2023

Information fusion is a crucial aspect of modern data analysis and decision making. It involves the integration of multiple sources of information in order to form a more complete and accurate understanding of a given subject. This process is particularly important in fields such as computer science, engineering, and natural sciences, where large amounts of data are generated from a variety of sources and must be synthesised to make informed decisions. Information fusion is also essential in the design and implementation of intelligent systems, as it allows the integration of various sensors and data sources to make more accurate predictions and recommendations. From a mathematical point of view, one way to study this problem is through the idea of fusion functions, which take as input a vector of numbers and return a single one, representative of them. A relevant kind of fusion function is the family of aggregation functions. These functions hold two boundary conditions and monotonicity with respect to the inputs, which induce some desirable properties to the function output. However, information fusion in applied systems comprises more than this theoretical notion. As the heterogeneity, the structure, and the volume of the data become more relevant, other approaches to tackle this problem have arisen. For example, in a network structure, the different inputs are associated among each other according to a pre-established set of relationships; in time series, data present temporal dependencies. When dealing with non-structured data, like text, audio, and image, deep learning approaches have been very successful in transforming this kind of data into vectorial representations of real numbers using series of affine transformations. Despite previous efforts in the field, the problem of effectively combining diverse and heterogeneous sources of information, remains an open and active area of research. This is due to the challenges inherent in integrating multiple sources that may be in different formats and may have conflicting or incomplete information. For example, how the information measured relates to other sources of data and how reliable those measures are is highly dependent on the measurement procedure. Indeed, systems that fuse the information from those different sources shall present additional complexities as well when taking into account the particularities of each feature considered. In this dissertation, we propose a collection of functions and algorithms to take into account possible interactions, heterogeneities, and uncertainties when working with different sources of information. We do so by means of aggregation theory and social network analysis, and we focus especially on those cases where deep learning approaches are not so successful. We apply these results to a wide range of problems, including the classification of brain computer interface signals, the classification of standard tabular data, the detection of anomalies, and the detection of communities in social networks.
Desarrollo de sensores multiparámetro basados en resonancias por modos con pérdidas usando guía de onda plana
Authors:   , Domínguez Rodríguez Ismel
Published: August 2023

This thesis focuses on exploiting the lossy mode resonance phenomenon towards development of applications that go beyond the single parameter detection with an optical fiber. After an introduction to the field, in chapter two the planar waveguide structure is proposed as an alternative and advantageous configuration to support various types of sensors based on lossy mode resonances (LMR). After that, in chapter 3 the multiparametric concept and strategies to enhance the sensitivity of the optical phenomenon are explored in detail with many simulations and experimental results. The final chapters delve deeper into the combination of LMR with other classical detection techniques, such as surface acoustic sensors (SAW) and electrochemistry (EC), providing useful complementary information.

Este artigo nos convida a conhecer as experiências de uma infância migrante em contextos de trabalho agrícola relacionados com a colheita da cana-de-açúcar. San Silverio el Cedral, Tuxtepec, Oaxaca-México, se converte em um cenário de solos irregulares para atender às necessidades como famílias migrantes no ciclo 2021-2022 que trabalharam na colheita da cana-de-açúcar na região de Papaloapan. Diante dessarealidade, nos perguntamos: quais são as experiências das crianças migrantes nabusca da realização da vida? Nossa intenção foi de compreender com o coração – e com o coração nos encontrarmos com os sentimentos e pensamentos –, de escutar e dialogar sobre suas realidades-verdades, suas esperanças e suas utopias, através de suas histórias, de seus traslados e dos novos territórios que habitam quando chegam ao acampamento. Pudemos observar como elas se inserem na estrutura operacionaldo trabalho e da vida infantil, reconhecendo seus sentimentos, pensamentos, suas relações inter e intrageracionais, suas reflexões, seus olhares, vozes e conhecimentos como crianças migrantes que têm ressignificado culturalmente os espaços, criando outras geografias. Assim, suas ações infantis são contextualizadas dentro das relações de produção agrícola capitalista. As crianças, compreendidas como atores sociaisativos, resistem e criam desde a concretude de suas propostas e demandas. Foi realizado um intenso trabalho de campo, utilizando diferentes procedimentos metodológicos, incluindo a representação gráfica como meio de diálogo, o que denominamos de desenho-história-entrevista, utilizado como dispositivo para o nosso encontro com a infância.

Published: August 2023

Em 1938, Graciliano Ramos publica a obra Vidas Secas que se enquadra no Modernismo brasileiro, pondo em evidência a vida trágica do retirante. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar, sob o método da Análise do Discurso de Linha Francesa e da perspectiva Ecocrítica - que estuda as imbricações entre a Literatura e a Ecologia -, as relações homem-ambiente e as representações do sertanejo e do sertão que o autor delineia, dialogando, também, com o sentimento humano que é despertado na interlocução com o lugar e com o ambiente, tendo em vista os conceitos de topofobia – aversão ao ambiente físico - e topofilia – familiaridade ou apego. Os discursos presentes na narrativa demonstram o sentimento de horror à Caatinga (topofobia), num tom de crítica social, em virtude dos problemas decorrentes da seca.

Published: August 2023

As áreas de proteção permanentes (APP) ripárias são importantes para proteção do sistema fluvial. Contudo, há controversas sobre as delimitações e usos desses espaços cujos tamanhos e usos foram reconfigurados ao longo do tempo. Assim, analisou-se as evoluções das leis e normas relacionadas às APP ripárias e seus impactos nos usos das planícies fluviais do rio Santa Cruz (Sertões de Crateús, Ceará/Brasil). Para tanto, fez-se um levantamento bibliográfico e cartográfico, examinou-se imagens de satélites e fez-se trabalhos de campos. Com isso, detectou-se que há uma tendência de redução das APPs e de sua proteção; o segundo Código Florestal criou e delimitou as APPs ripárias no Brasil; as planícies e suas APPs são ocupadas e degradadas em razão da agropecuária e extração de minerais ilegal.

Published: August 2023

A produção catarinense de aves e suínos, fortemente concentrada no Oeste, singulariza-se no contexto das áreas rurais do estado, em razão do dinamismo apresentado pela agroindústria processadora de carnes, cuja atividade criatória está amplamente instaurada nas pequenas propriedades rurais, tendo como pilar central o modelo integrado de produção organizado com base no trabalho familiar. O objetivo do trabalho está centrado em analisar as características que compõe o perfil dos produtores integrados à cadeia produtiva de carnes de aves e suínos. O caminho metodológico desta pesquisa consistiu, basicamente, de revisão bibliográfica e documental e a realização de trabalhos de campos para obtenção de informações de fontes primária e secundária.
Aeroportos em Santa Catarina (1927-1960): pulverização espontânea e centralização planejada
Authors: Filho Alcides Goularti
Published: August 2023

Esse artigo versa sobre a construção de campos de pouso e aeroportos em Santa Catarina entre 1927 e 1960. Ao longo desse período podemos identificar dois movimentos: a) a pulverização espontânea e, b) centralização planejada. No primeiro identificamos a construção de campos de pouso espraiados em todas as microrregiões catarinenses. No entanto, nem todos recebiam voos regulares. No segundo, com o aumento da complexidade das modernas aeronaves, houve uma centralização, definindo as cidades-focos: Florianópolis, Joinville, Itajaí, Criciúma, Lages e Chapecó. Mesmo com a centralização, todas as mesorregiões catarinenses continuam sendo beneficiadas com voos nacionais regulares.
Análise da implementação do Zoneamento Ecológico Econômico no Tocantins a partir da visão dos atores locais
Authors: De Paiva Gisele , Santos Alexandre
Published: August 2023

O Zoneamento Ecológico Econômico (ZEE) é um instrumento de gestão ambiental estabelecido na Política Nacional do Meio Ambiente (PNMA), e presente em todos os estados da federação. Desde a década de 1990 vem sendo executado no Brasil, todavia, as tentativas de implementação e os resultados obtidos até então não fornecem indícios de sua efetividade. Desta forma, esse artigo busca compreender a implementação do instrumento no Tocantins analisando as percepções de atores locais pelo método do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC). A conclusão é que o ZEE no Tocantins não é implementado. Dentre as causas identificadas, preponderam fatores institucionais como baixa capacidade administrativa, governança e “vontade política” associado a desconfiguração de seu caráter normativo.

Materialism dialectic și istoric în comunismul românesc (II)
Authors: Cistelecan Alex
Published: August 2023

The article (published in 2 parts) analyzes the expression and development of Marxist philosophy in communist Romania, as seen in the evolution of the official handbooks and courses of dialectical materialism and historical materialism. Its first part looked at the original Marxian foundations (Marx and Engels’ views on metaphilosophy and their actual philosophical practice), the Soviet mediations (the institutional and conceptual reconfigurations of Soviet Marxist philosophy until the death of Stalin) and the initial local Romanian configuration, as seen in the first two editions of the handbooks, published in the early 1950s and early 1960s respectively. The second part of the article follows this evolution further, up to 1989, and concludes by formulating a series of observations on the uses and abuses of Marxist philosophy in communist Romania.
Mercurialul denumirilor stradale: restructurările spațiului simbolic în Sibiul postbelic, 1945-1948
Authors: Rusu Mihai S.
Published: August 2023

In order to achieve their functional purpose – that of organizing the urban landscape and helping locating people and geographical objectives through an efficient addressing system – street names are bound to remain stable spatial landmarks. On the other hand, street names are also semiotic devices of signifying space with the political and commemorative agenda of the ruling power. This latter characteristic renders them vulnerable to successive renaming following important power-shifts and especially regime changes. What happens when the ideological imperative of politicizing the street nomenclature undermines its functional requirement of providing spatial orientation through extensive renaming? Such a tensional situation is examined in the case of postwar Sibiu between 1945 and 1948, when the city endured a thorough redefinition of its toponymy under the political regime of communist “popular democracy” in Romania. The paper quantifies the scope of toponymic revision and then evaluates the content of these street name changes in terms of three major concepts: class, ethnicity, and gender. Grounded on the results of this analysis, the paper advances the notion of “mercurial street names”. It concludes by arguing that such a concept should complement the existing metaphoricity underpinning the scholarship in place-name studies, which draw on “text”, “discourse”, and “palimpsest” to conceive of the processes of street (re)naming.
Problema sinuciderii la I.L. Caragiale. O interpretare a „Inspecțiunii”
Authors: Stroe Luana
Published: August 2023

Inspecțiune is one of Caragiale’s most discussed texts. In this paper, I explore some possible sources of the enigma surrounding Anghelache’s suicide. Suicide and its causes became a genuine subject of research in the second half of the 19th century. A new field of inquiry emerged then: moral statistics. Central to my discussion is one of Titu Maiorescu’s articles, published in Convorbiri literare, in which he addresses that new way of investigating suicide, starting from Enrico Morselli’s book, An Essay on Comparative Moral Statistics. It is plausible to believe that Caragiale had read Maiorescu’s article.
La perle et le rubis: Incarnations de l’imaginal dans le quatrième conte des Sept Portraits de Nezâmi
Authors: Kristeva Irena
Published: August 2023

The article is based on the hypothesis that the poetic intensity of Nezâmi’s Haft Peykar stems from the entanglement of the Imaginary, the Symbolic and the Real. Our goal is to prove that this romantic epic unveils beauty through its reflection. Thus, first we pose on the structural and thematic implications of the Imaginal. Then, we seek to elucidate the symbolic meaning of the legend told by the Slavonic princess. Finally, we try to demonstrate that beauty is epiphanized through metaphorical images with symbolic value. One is the gemological metaphor, in particular that of the two par excellence gems of beauty: the pearl and the ruby. Another is the vegetable metaphor, in particular that of the two par excellence plants of beauty: the rose and the cypress.
Ce este o limbă de circulație internațională? Puncte de plecare pentru o discuție viitoare
Authors: Ungureanu Georgiana
Published: August 2023

In the current context of globalization, the use of a widely known linguistic code becomes a requirement for maintaining the economic, political and trading relations between different nations around the world. Considering the phenomenal spread of the English language that contributed to its qualification as a “global language”, the aim of this paper is to establish what makes a language to be international. To this purpose, I discuss different sets of criteria elaborated by various researchers and I argue that the main test for classifying a language as “international” is not the mere number of its speakers, but the number of users who learn to speak it in an unconditional manner, i.e., the extension of what linguists call its “area of influence”.
