The Image of the Romanians in Joachim Wittstock’s Work
Authors:   „Lucian Blaga“-Universität, Hermannstadt, Rumänien, Tiru Sonia
Published: September 2024

This thesis deals with the Romanians as they are depicted in the work from Joachim Wittstock. Romania as a country and the Romanians play an important role for the author. Romania was, is and will forever remain his home, it is the place where he was born, where he grew up and where he developed his identity. In the Transylvanian area he met people belonging to different ethnic groups and cultures, Romanians too, and it must be noted that he viewed them all equally and was tolerant towards them. The first part of this thesis will present characteristics that are typical for Romanians according to the well-known scientist Klaus Heitmann and the second part will exemplify these characteristics in the work from Joachim Wittstock, while also taking into account the imagological theory. Klaus Heitmann declares about the Romanians that they are the object of envy regarding other Nations due to their exceptional characteristics: honesty, loyalty, friendliness, cheerfulness and cleanliness, extraordinary lack of demands for material things in life as well as hospitability to strangers; women of the Romanian nation are hard-working and very efficient, whereas the Romanian farmer is extremely cheerful, carefree and funny, patient and humble. Moreover, it has called to account, that Romanians as a nation are very tolerant towards other nationalities, they respect each and every individual without judging anyone. Moving forward and applying these characteristics in the work of the Transylvanian author Joachim Wittstock it must be delved deeper into the relationship between the concepts presented in the Imagological Theory and the unique way in which the author creates his characters. Concepts such as image, auto-image, hetero-image, stereotype and prejudice are being highlighted throw the characters depicted by Joachim Wittstock. To illustrate these concepts, characters such as Sorin, Remus Petru, Maica Stareță (‘Mother Abbess’) and Ileana Almăjan must be identified. Sorin implies the auto-image of a perfectionist, who tries to slightly manipulate the opinion of others regarding himself, this point of view is outlined by the fact that he wears two pair of glasses without lenses; Remus Petru is interested in music, that plays the role of a friend, and indicates the stereotype of hard-working Romanians; Maica Stareță (‘Mother Abbess’) remains as a symbol for the whole nation of religious Romanians, due to the fact that she has no name and the feminine figure Ileana represents the object of fascination for the narrator, while being very different from other girls.

Corruption as a Mechanism for the Formation of Recruitment Vulnerability in Modern Spin War Operations
Authors: Manoilo Andrei
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the role of corruption and the corruption link in the formation of recruitment vulnerability of persons who are in the focus of modern information operations. Modern information operations are not PR campaigns, but operational combinations of foreign intelligence services on the channels of open telecommunication networks, which are based on the methods of classical operational and agent activities. Corruption is used by the organizers of information operations primarily with the aim of organizing recruitment approaches to the target, the end result of which is the inducement to confidential cooperation (recruitment) for dependence. Corruption is used both as a factor creating the recruitment vulnerability of the information operation target (if it is already involved in corruption schemes) and as a tool for creating such vulnerability (by involving the operation target in corruption schemes in order to form and document its individual corruption link). In recent practice, there are examples of information operations based entirely on corruption and compromising materials obtained on its basis. These are the so-called Panama Dossier of 2015—2016 and the Pandora Dossier of 2021. In these operations, officials who had personal accounts in Panamanian offshore companies, whose operations could cause a resonant scandal in the event of disclosure of information about them, became the object of operational games of foreign intelligence services. In such cases, these individuals already had a corruption link, and it only remained to make it public (by throwing compromising materials in small portions and at certain intervals). The corruption factor is also found in other information operations, such as the doping scandal with WADA, or in the second stage of the so-called Skripal case.

International Law: Between Globalism and Regionalism
Authors: Kapustin Anatoly Ya.
Published: September 2024

The modern world is in the moment of revolutionary changes against the background of the crisis of economic globalization with the transition to a new technological basis, the artificial depreciation of the international legal system in the process of forming a new model of world development. These and other factors dictate the particular interest and relevance of conducting research in the field of iInternational law of such categories as “globalism” and “regionalism” in the light of new challenges to the universality of international legal regulation and a clear understanding of the need for a stable basis for such regulation in the form of basic, fundamental principles of law recognized by the international community — peremptory norms of general international law (jus cogens). Based on the dialectical method of scientific cognition, methods of formal logic, historical analysis and the system-structural method, the article analyzes the provisions of international treaties and UN documents in this area, as well as scientific works related to this issue. The main provisions of the topic are investigated: international law as part of the historically established system of international relations and its modern features; the concept of an international order based on rules; the phenomenon of regionalism in the science and practice of international law; the place of intergovernmental regional organizations in the history of international law and their role in modern international relations; maritime regionalism as a historical pattern in international legal relations and international law. The authors present a critical analysis of the above provisions, which can be useful for understanding the process of forming a modern model of the international legal order and countering attempts to substitute, revise and arbitrarily interpret the principles of international law enshrined in the UN Charter and other documents of this organization.

Authors: Daniel Lenghart
Published: September 2024

Tento článok sa zaoberá významným prínosom výnimočných žien v dejinách psychológie - Mary Whiton Calkinsovej, Karen Horneyovej, Anny Freudovej, Mamie Phipps Clarkovej a Beatrice Edgellovej. Tieto osobnosti prelomili rodové a rasové bariéry v čase, keď ženy a Afroameričanky čelili v psychológii systémovým prekážkam. Calkinsová, prvá predsedníčka APA, formovala kognitívnu psychológiu a vytvorila sebapsychológiu, ktorá odmietala rodové stereotypy. Karen Horneyová kritizovala Freudovu psychoanalýzu a založila feministickú psychológiu, ktorá zdôrazňovala kultúrne a sociálne faktory. Anna Freudová, dcéra Sigmunda Freuda, prispela k detskej psychoanalýze a skúmala obranné mechanizmy u detí. Mamie Phipps Clarková svojimi "bábkovými štúdiami" odhalila psychologický vplyv rasovej segregácie a poskytla dôkazy v prípade Brown v. Board of Education. Jej výskum ovplyvnil prelomové rozhodnutie, ktoré zrušilo rasovú segregáciu vo verejných školách. Beatrice Edgellová, britská priekopníčka vysokoškolského vzdelávania, prvá žena v Európe, ktorá získala doktorský titul z psychológie, ktorá sa systematicky venovala výskumu pamäte. Tieto ženy nepochybne ovplyvnili vývoj psychológie, ale ich prínos sa často prehliadal, preto je cieľom tohto článku osvetliť a osláviť ich dôležitú úlohu pri formovaní odboru. Článok sa zároveň zamýšľa nad otázkou porovnania uznania a akceptácie žien v Amerike a Európe z historického hľadiska a pokladá si otázku, či sa ženy v psychologickej praxi objavovali skôr v Európe alebo Amerike.

Published: September 2024

This qualitative study explores the difficulties and approaches related to enhancing ELL students' reading comprehension for students with learning disabilities in Lahore District, Pakistan. The aim of this study was to explore the general difficulties faced by ELLs with learning disabilities in comprehending written material and identifying effective strategies for teaching these students. The study participants are five teachers currently practising special education, all with a minimum of 5 years of experience in teaching in the Lahore district, Pakistan. The methodology used is interviews with teachers and the data collected is analysed through the approach of thematic analysis. The theoretical background for the study was Vygotsky’s concept of ZPD, as the latter focuses on the notion that certain tasks should be slightly beyond the learner’s immediate grasp. Linguistic challenges emerged as a result of language barriers, cultural issues rooted in diverse cultural backgrounds, and environmental constraints that hindered the provision of special education due to limited resources. Key teaching practices that earlier have been described as effective include the use of graphic aids and organizers, differentiated and individualized approaches to student instruction, and culturally related instructions. The general implications of the study are the need for continuous professional development of teachers; the integration and collaboration between special education teachers and other stakeholders and the general need for education, learning, and development of ELL learners with learning disabilities. In sum, this study emphasized the need to support ELLs with learning disabilities in Pakistani language teaching contexts about reading comprehension and provided useful recommendations and suggestions to practitioners and policymakers for improving the poor reading skills that characterize this group of learners.
Socio-cultural dynamics in community support in post-consumtion plastik waste management: a case study of DKI Jakarta region
Authors: Pramiati Siti Kardian , Soesilo Tri Edhi Budhi , Agustina Haruki
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Population growth in urban areas, fuelled by migration from rural areas, has changed lifestyles and socio-cultural dynamics. The dynamic lifestyle of urban communities changes consumption behaviour so that people prefer practical and economical products. There are fundamental issues that arise in the waste management system in Indonesia, including limited waste management capacity in the regions, inadequate infrastructure, implementation of regulations, and lack of public awareness including the consumer goods manufacturing industry on post-consumption waste management issues. This study aims to understand the perception and level of community participation as well as the role of the informal sector in post-consumption plastic waste management, with a focus on the implementation of the extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme. Methods: Data was collected through a questionnaire survey and literature study in five areas of DKI Jakarta. Through the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), the manufacturing industry is encouraged to contribute to the management of plastic packaging waste produced. This research uses quantitative and qualitative methods with data analysis using descriptive statistics. Finding: The results show that the community supports EPR-related regulations and is ready to participate in plastic waste management schemes. This positive perception reflects changes in socio-cultural values that prioritise environmental concerns. The informal sector also makes an important contribution to plastic waste reduction, especially through collection, distribution, and processing activities in stalls and waste banks. Community support and the role of the informal sector in plastic waste management reflect changes in social attitudes and behaviours that are increasingly concerned about the environment. Conclusion: Therefore, active involvement in plastic waste reduction initiatives also reflects a cultural change that is increasingly integrated in urban communities.
Climate Change: Effect of Climate change on Water Resources and Adaptation
Authors: Daza Yanita Dela , Ismail Yunita
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Climate change has an impact on all sectors of water resources. As a real example, there are many droughts in Indonesia. Changes in the water cycle have caused two extreme conditions, namely an increase in drought conditions which will reduce the natural availability of groundwater. Rainwater Harvesting can be an alternative for adaptation to the current water crisis. The water obtained from rainwater harvesting can be used for many things such as watering plants, washing, bathing, and can even be used for cooking if the quality of the water meets health standards. Methods: The author uses the literature review method. The author searches for literature that is in accordance with the topic of the paper, then makes an analysis, then writes a review of the literature. Findings: . In addition to droughts and erratic rains, climate change is making it harder and harder to find clean water. However, the Indonesian water issue can be solved by using rainwater harvesting. This method is appropriate for harvesting since it takes into account Indonesia's comparatively heavy rainfall. Conclusion: This study concludes that the community can employ rainwater gathering as a water-saving technique to supply clean water needs. Rainwater harvesting will be able to support the survival of both the current and future generations by helping to maintain environmental and water sustainability

Setiap daerah memiliki kondisi daerah terpencil yang berbeda, sarana dan prasarana yang berbeda, cara komunikasi yang berbeda, dan tingkat pendidikan serta ekonomi yang berbeda pula, sehingga perlu untuk peka terhadap keanekaragaman nuansa tersebut dan menyesuaikan implementasi kebijakan terhadapnya.
From Tradition to Modernity: The Transformation of Turkish Pet Names
Authors: Sakalli Erol
Published: September 2024

As the traditional way of life has undergone a thorough change during the last few decades, the human-animal relationship in Türkiye has changed too. The traditional pet species and their roles as protectors, sources of food, or income for many people have been replaced with modern species and the pets’ roles mostly converted into friends or family members. As a result of the change in traditional pets, the names given to pets also have changed. In this article, I sought to answer the question “How have pets owned by Turkish people – and so the names given to them- changed during the last few decades?” The present article found that the traditionally owned pets apart from those raised for husbandry have changed from big ones to small ones physically like dogs. Besides; reptiles, rodents, and insects have turned into pets owned at home for their company. The names given to pets, in the same way, have changed. Modern names are quite different than traditional ones as personal names are given to pets as well as names in accordance with their physical features and unique names such as brand names, the occupation of the owner, or sometimes names just made up.

Budidaya ikan air tawar bertujuan untuk memproduksi ikan. Terdapat beberapa teknik yang dapat digunakan untuk berbudidaya. Salah satu parameter yang digunakan untuk menentukan teknik budidaya adalah ketersediaan air dan pakan. Keberhasilan budidaya ikan, salah satunya ditentukan oleh kedisiplinan dalam proses pemberian pakan. Pemberian pakan yang terlalu banyak akan menyebabkan kualitas air menjadi tidak baik. Pemberian pakan yang terlalu sedikit akan menyebabkan pertumbuhan ikan menjadi lambat. Diperlukan sebuah teknologi otomatisasi pemberian pakan untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut. Teknologi tersebut perlu disesuaikan dengan teknik budidaya yang digunakan atau ukuran kolam yang digunakan. Proses evaluasi pengujian alat otomasi pemberian pakan ikan perlu dilakukan untuk mengetahui alat yang telah dibuat dapat diterapkan pada ukuran atau suatu teknik budidaya tertentu. Alat otomasi yang dikembangkan dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari ESP32 controller, motor BLDC, motor servo, dan RTC, serta protokol MQTT untuk pengendali dan pemantauan. Evaluasi dilakukan pada setiap subsistem. Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi, alat dapat melontarkan pakan minimal sekitar 27 gram. Pakan dapat terlontar dan tersebar sejauh 140 cm. Data dikirim menggunakan protokol MQTT dengan waktu tundaan 2 detik. Alat ini dapat digunakan untuk kolam dengan ukuran menengah ke bawah, seperti kolam bulat berukuran 3 meter, dan untuk budidaya ikan dengan ikan yang aktif, seperti ikan nila atau lele.

This study investigates the ecological dynamics of mosquito vectors in the swamp ecosystems of Desa Kebun Raya, Kecamatan Kintap, Kabupaten Tanah Laut, Kalimantan Selatan. An entomological survey was conducted to assess species composition, abundance, and larval indices in relation to the unique swamp habitat. Four mosquito species were identified: Culex quinquefasciatus, Culex tritaeniorhynchus, Aedes aegypti, and Aedes albopictus. The dominance of Culex species, particularly C. quinquefasciatus, suggests a strong adaptation to the swamp environment. Larval indices indicated a high risk of vector-borne disease transmission, with a House Index (HI) of 35%, Container Index (CI) of 0.14%, and Breteau Index (BI) of 64%. The study highlights the complex interactions between swamp ecology, mosquito population dynamics, and potential disease transmission risks in this understudied region of Indonesia.

Indonesia has become one of the top priorities for global terrorist groups. The criminal act of terrorism that occurred in Indonesia is a severe crime and endangers state ideology, state security, state sovereignty, human values ​​, and various aspects of social life. To improve law enforcement against the involvement of Indonesian citizens in global terrorist organizations, cooperation between multiple institutions and related stakeholders is very important. This research aims to determine the obstacles law enforcement faces regarding global terrorist organizations. This research uses normative research methods and primary, secondary, and tertiary legal material sources. Law enforcement related to global terrorist organizations faces several complex obstacles. The complexity of terrorist networks makes it challenging to identify members and collect sufficient evidence. The use of digital technology and covert communications by terrorist organizations makes monitoring and gathering evidence difficult. Jurisdictional limitations and barriers to international cooperation hinder the exchange of information and the extradition of terrorist perpetrators. To overcome these obstacles, inter-agency cooperation, increased technical capacity, effective exchange of information, and strong international cooperation are key factors in law enforcement efforts against global terrorist organizations.

Pandhawa Laras is a group engaged in the field of performing arts, especially East Javanese shadow puppetry (Jek Dong), which was founded on May 13, 2009. Pandhawa Laras means Pan "Panjak," Dha "Dalang,” and Wa "Waranggana,” and Laras means that these three aspects become a unity in a harmonious performance. Pandhawa Laras was founded when there was already an existence of Remo dance, both male Remo dance and female Remo dance, in shadow puppet shows. Through the years, the female Remo dance has shifted to the male Remo dance. The male Remo dance in the Jek Dong puppet show of the Pandhawa Laras group is danced by Sinden (Pangreman) with male-like makeup. This research will discuss the staging style of Sinden-Pangreman. The study of this research leads to the theory of staging style with a descriptive qualitative approach. By utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews with relevant sources, literature study, and documentation, Furthermore, data analysis is carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and finally drawing conclusions or verifying valid data. Based on the research results of the Sinden-Pangreman staging style in the Jek Dong puppet show of Pandhawa Laras Group, the men's Remo dance in the Jek Dong puppet show is performed during the pre-event by the puppet Sinden, who also acts as Pangreman. This is evidenced by the presence of two wayang kulit Sinden who, before climbing the puppet stage, will dance the Remo putra dance in the Malangan style. The performance is accompanied by two kidungan sessions, with the second kidungan referred to as Kidungan Jula-juli. This research shows that in the Sinden-Pangreman staging style there are supporting elements in the actors in performing the Remo putra dance and as a wayang kulit sinden, including dance movement, dance style, kidungan, makeup, and the interaction process in the performance.
