Authors: shi qifang , Xu Ying , Zhang Bing-yu , Qu Wei , Wang Shu-yun , Zheng Wen-long , sheng Ying
Published: February 2021

Background: Evidence shows that simplified SOFA scoring system has
better clinical practice. Objective: This study aimed to compare the
scores acquired with the simplified sequential organ failure assessment
(sSOFA), simplified organ dysfunction criteria optimized for electronic
health records (eSOFA), and simplified and accurate sequential organ
failure assessment (sa-SOFA) for their accuracies in predicting the
prognosis of septic patients. Methods: This retrospective observational
study was conducted at three major academic hospitals. Clinical data
from 574 patients diagnosed with sepsis following the Third
International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock
(Sepsis-3)were retrospectively retrieved and analyzed. Scores from the
quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) and sequential organ
failure assessment (SOFA) were used as reference scores. The area under
the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was used to compare
the accuracies of eSOFA, sSOFA, and sa-SOFA scores in predicting
in-hospital mortality. Results: AUROC analysis demonstrated the
predictability of the five scoring systems for sepsis surveillance,
listed in descending order as: sa-SOFA,0.790 (95% confidence interval
[CI]: 0.754-0.822); SOFA, 0.774 (95% CI: 0.738-0.808); eSOFA,0.729
(95% CI: 0.691-0.765); sSOFA,0.681 (95% CI: 0.641- 0.719); and
qSOFA,0.618(95% CI: 0.577-0.658). Moreover, sa-SOFA and SOFA scores (Z=
1.950, p = 0.051) did not significantly differ from each other in
discriminatory power, but the sa-SOFA score had a higher power than
either the sSOFA or eSOFA scores (p values <0.001).
Conclusion: sa-SOFA showed the highest accuracy in predicting
in-hospital fatality of septic patients when compared with sSOFA and
eSOFA.
Assessing linguistic vulnerability and endangerment in Serbia a critical survey of methodologies and outcomes
Authors: Sorescu-Marinkovic Annemarie , Miric Mirjana , Cirkovic Svetlana
Published: February 2021

The paper offers a critical survey of vulnerable and endangered languages and
linguistic varieties in Serbia presented in three international inventories:
UNESCO?s Atlas of the World?s Languages in Danger, Ethnologue and The
Catalogue of Endangered Languages. As the inventories differ widely in terms
of assessing the exact level of language endangerment and vulnerability, and
lack to provide empirical support for their assessment, the paper provides
thorough information from official local sources, relevant studies and the
authors? own field research, when available, on the language categorized as
endangered (Aromanian, Banat Bulgarian, Judezmo, Vojvodina Rusyn, Romani),
but also presents additional linguistic varieties which have not been
registered yet by any of the mentioned inventories (Megleno-Romanian, Bayash
Romanian and Vlach Romanian).
“St. Bartholomew’s night” of Banja Luka the Ustasha crime against the Serbs in the Banja Luka area on 7 february 1942
Authors: Latinovic Goran , Ozegovic Nikola
Published: February 2021

Based on the preserved and accessible sources from seven archives and from
the relevant literature, the authors seek to reconstruct the causes, course
and consequences of the crime committed by the Ustashas against the Serbs of
the villages of Drakulic, Sargovac and Motike, and in the Rakovac mine, near
Banja Luka on 7 February 1942. The authors attempt to point to the main
instigators and perpetrators of the crime and to estimate the number of
victims. For understanding the broader context of the events, they point out
the ideological roots and main features of the genocidal policy pursued by
the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) against the Serbs from 1941 to 1945.
Special attention is paid to the events in the area of Banja Luka during
1941, because they provided the chronological and spatial context for the
crime that followed in February 1942.
The shift in Yugoslav-Albanian relations: The establishment of ties between Albania and the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija (1966-1969)
Authors: Vukadinovic Igor
Published: February 2021

The intra-party conflict in Yugoslavia in 1966 resulted in a fundamental
shift in the attitude of the Yugoslav leadership toward the Albanian
national minority, which was also reflected in the country?s foreign policy
orientation. The normalization of relations with Albania was set as one of
the objectives of Yugoslav foreign policy. Yugoslavia stopped responding to
the anti-Yugoslav statements of Albanian officials and launched a series of
cooperation initiatives with Albania. The Autonomous Province of Kosovo and
Metohija was assigned a special role in the normalization of relations with
Tirana and, with the consent of Belgrade, an exchange of publications,
visits of cultural-artistic associations and contacts between the cultural
institutions of Kosovo and Metohija and Albania ensued. This policy resulted
in the establishment of direct cultural, economic and political ties between
the governments of Albania and the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and
Metohija, into which the Yugoslav political leadership no longer had any
insight.

The relationship between school climate and students’ engagement at school
Authors: Djordjic Dejan
Published: February 2021

The school climate is a construct that can adequately represent the quality
of school life. School climate is the sum of perceptions of teachers,
parents, students and administration about different aspects of school
functioning and has an impact on their lives. The aim of the research was to
determine the relationship between the school climate and student
engagement. The sample consists of 332 high school students from Sombor and
Novi Sad. The Delaware School Climate Scale was used, namely the School
Climate and Student Engagement subscales. Prior to data processing, a
confirmatory factor analysis was performed to confirm the latent
dimensionality of the used instruments. Then, descriptive indicators were
presented. According to descriptive indicators students assess the school
climate moderately, and on average they are more cognitively/behaviourally
engaged than emotionally. The intercorrelation table indicates low to
moderate correlations between variables. In order to respond to the aim of
the study, two multiple regression analyses were performed. Regression
analysis shows that teacher student relations are statistically sig?nificant
predictor of all three types of student engagement, while fairness of school
rules appears as a statistically significant predictor of
cognitive/behavioural student engagement, and the factor respect for
diversity of students? emotional engagement. Similar results are found in
other studies conducted around the world.
Smartphone use as a potential moderator between attachment to friends and subjective well-being among high school students
Authors: Opsenica-Kostic Jelena , Nedelјkovic Jasmina , Roj Cauduri
Published: February 2021

The research deals with a problem that has remained open despite
significant efforts on the part of researchers - does frequent use of smart
phones disrupt the interpersonal relationships and subjective well-being of
the users? Hypotheses on the moderating effects that smart phone (SP) use
can have on the relationship between dimensions pertaining to attachment to
friends and dimensions pertaining to subjective well-being among high school
students were tested. The research included 556 Serbian adolescents, all of
whom were of age. The following measuring instruments were used: Smartphone
use frequency (SUF); Inventory of Parents and Peer Attachment-Revised
(IPPA-R) - subscales for friends; in particular, the Satisfaction with Life
Scale (SWLS) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) were used
to measure subjective well-being. The basic research results indicate that
the frequency of smart phone use is a moderator in the relationship between
Trust in friends and Communication with friends, and Satisfaction with life
and Positive affect: the connection between Trust and Communication, and the
dimensions of subjective well-being is most pronounced for those adolescents
who, compared to their peers, use smart phones the least, while the
connection is the weakest, or cannot be determined, among those adolescents
who most frequently use a smart phone. An important limit in the frequency
of SP use is the transition from low or moderate to excessive use - in the
case of the highest level of frequency of SP use the positive connection
between attachment to friends and subjective well-being is lost.

Authors: KR Kourouma
Published: February 2021

Introduction: Despite a growing interest in proximology about the relationship between family caregivers of people with non communicable disease such as diabetes and health professionals, little is known about this issue in Côte d’Ivoire. While researchers are focused on diabetic patient, they frequently omit health professionals’ experiences with family caregivers. This paper aims to report a study on the perception of health professionals of family caregivers of diabetic patient and identify the facilitating factors to improve their implication in the care process. Material and Method: This qualitative research using semi structured interviews was conducted between February and April 2018, among the health workers (n=17) of the Diabetes Centre of the Public Health Institute of Côte d’Ivoire. Data were analyzed using a content and thematic analysis of the transcripts. Results: The health professional expressed in general a good perception of caregivers despite conflicts. According to them, information and education on diabetes, improvement of the organizational practices, recruitment of a social worker, recognition of the caregivers’ expertise and work, organization of discussion group and creation of an association of family caregivers of people with diabetes are facilitating factors to improve caregivers’ implication. Conclusion: This study revealed that there is a need for greater awareness among health professionals concerning the expectations and needs of caregivers. Health professionals also need to be trained in family caregivers/patient/ health professional relationship in order to understand this relational issue and set up essential partnership that conditions the quality, continuity and effectiveness of home care.

Authors: Priyono  , Danardono
Published: February 2021

Budaya literasi sudah menjadi tuntutan dan kebutuhan bagi kalangan akademisi utamanya tenaga pendidik atau guru. Budaya literasi yang dimaksud bukan hanya sekedar budaya membaca melainkan budaya dalam menghasilkan karya dalam bentuk tulisan berupa publikasi ilmiah. Saat ini, publikasi berupa tulisan sudah diintegrasikan sebagai salah satu syarat dalam pengembangan karir atau kinerja guru jika guru ingin meningkatkan jabatan fungsional. Selain itu pentingnya budaya literasi juga dapat digunakan untuk mengembangkan pengetahuan dan kemampuan guru dalam pengajaran yang sesuai dengan tuntutan zaman. Disisi lain, pentingnya budaya literasi ternyata tidak diimbangi dengan jumlah publikasi tulisan yang dihasilkan oleh guru. Hal ini terlihat dari banyaknya guru yang berhenti jenjang kepangkatannya karena tidak adanya publikasi tulisan. Rendahnya jumlah publikasi tulisan guru disebabkan rendahnya motivasi dalam menghasilkan publikasi akibat kurang mengertinya tata cara dalam menghasilkan publikasi tulisan. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya upaya berupa workshop dan pelatihan mengenai cara-cara dalam melakukan publikasi tulisan sehingga dapat meningkatkan motivasi guru dalam menghasilkan karya tulis. Hasil peningkatan motivasi guru dalam menulis karya tulis melalui workshop dan pelatihan menunjukkan bahwa semua guru dapat menghasilkan karya tulis jika diberikan motivasi dan pengetahuan mengenai cara-cara menulis. Hal ini terlihat dari beberapa karya yang dihasilkan dari guru setelah mengikuti kegiatan workshop dan pelatihan.

At the underground development of the sulfide deposits by the systems with a consolidating stowing, the temperature of the ore mass and the mine atmosphere increases due to the heat released during the hydration reaction of the hardening mixtures. This facilitates the activation of the oxidizing processes occurring in the sulfide ores. As a result, the areas with a reduced oxygen content are formed in the extended upstream workings. A decrease of the oxygen content in the working atmosphere below the critical values is a source of mortal danger for the underground mine personnel. These assumptions were confirmed when analyzing the causes of the emergency at the Taimyrsky mine of PJSC «MMC «Norilsk Nickel». The production here is carried out with the application of slicing and chamber mining systems with the filling of the mined-out space by the consolidating stowing. Main ore minerals: pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, cubanite, talnakhite and pentlandite, which chemical activity testifies to their potential fire hazard. Solid (rich) sulfide copper-nickel ores are prone in the fragmentary and crushed state to oxidation by air oxygen accompanied by the formation of heat. More intensive oxidation occurs in the presence of moisture and air flow through the crushed ore. The calculations showed that the high air temperature, along with the presence of wet ore dust and fines in the dead-end mine where the accident occurred, contributed to the occurrence of critical deoxygenation of the atmosphere, which was the objective cause of the incident. In order to avoid the recurrence of this situation, it is required to control the oxygen content in the dead-end mine workings located near the filling mass. In addition, accidental penetration of people into these workings should be completely excluded.

Majority of industrial injuries continue to be caused by the human factor due to a low level of occupational safety culture. The international practice of forming the high culture of industrial safety has become widespread in the behavioral safety audit procedure, the implementation of which considers the methodological foundations of ISO 45001:2018 code Occupational health and safety management systems. Requirements and recommendations for use in the context of any of the selected business processes of the organization. In this study, based on the results of processing 1505 behavioral safety audits conducted at the gas transmission company, 4572 violations of employee actions and conditions at their workplace were identified. When analyzing the distribution of violations according to the observation criteria, it was established that the prevailing number of violations falls into three observation categories: Actions of employee/employees, Reaction of employee/employees and Workplace. Using statistical data processing, a correlation dependence was established between the number of detected violations and the category of observation. Analysis of the actions of employees and the conditions at their workplace allows to establish the potential severity of the consequences of violations for each type of incident and is an integral part of practical implementation of the concept of a risk-oriented approach of the industrial safety management system. Quantitative assessment of behavioral safety audit procedure results makes the industrial safety management system more adaptive, oriented on the research of the role of the human factor in the prevention of potential threats and detection of potential opportunities for the development of the organization. This contributes to ensuring the achievement of an acceptable corporate level of industrial safety culture, improvement of working conditions, and as consequence, reduction of occupational injuries and occupational illness.

Overview of the modern Russian and International standards in the field of occupational health and safety management at an enterprise is presented. It is determined that the proactive method of assessing the state of working conditions at the enterprise has advantages over the post-event approaches to the development of corrective actions. The assessment is made concerning the application of the generalized Harrington desirability function, which has such properties as continuity, monotonicity, and smoothness. Based on this function, it is possible to assess the state and conditions of occupational safety and compare the indicators of various mining enterprises. GOST 12.0.230.3—2016 was analyzed, and the number of changes were proposed to the method of mathematical calculation. On the example of data provided by the Russian coal industry enterprise, an assessment was made related to the effectiveness and efficiency of the occupational health and safety management system. The values of the linguistic and numerical assessments of the state of the occupational health and safety management system are obtained. Graphic representation of the Harrington function with numerical and linguistic estimates superimposed on it is presented. The applied practices of internal and external audits of the occupational safety management system allow to identify deviations in its work, but they have rather long intervals between checks — from 1 to 3 years. The result of the performed analytical research is an improved methodology for assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of the occupational safety management system, which allows to make this work more often, easier, and cheaper. Made calculations of the desirability index for a mining enterprise are an example, but they should be carefully analyzed by senior managers for assessment and decision-making. Practical recommendations on the use of the research results by the employer (head of the organization) to improve and develop the system management of occupational health and safety are presented.

In accordance with the legislative framework of the system for regulating liquid and airborne discharges of radioactive substances into the environment in force in the Russian Federation, this system is equally designed to regulate discharges of the radionuclides of both artificial and natural origin. The mechanisms of radiological impact of the discharges of natural origin radionuclides on the environment and population do not have any specificity in comparison with the ones of artificial origin radionuclides. Nevertheless, to date, the law enforcement of the Russian system for regulating discharges of the radioactive substances is applied only in relation to the discharges of the radionuclides of artificial origin carried out by nuclear facilities. At the same time, regulation of the discharges of natural origin radionuclides, in accordance with the safety standards of the International Atomic Energy Agency, is the best practice in the field of environmental protection, and the levels of radiation exposure, which characterize such discharges, are not low enough to be neglected. Regulation of the discharges of natural origin radionuclides is provided for in the norms of the European Union and is practically applied in the number of countries of the European Union, where the legislation provides for the regulation of activities, in which the raw materials containing radionuclides of natural origin are used, and the types of economic and other activities subject to this regulation are determined. The Russian system of regulation of discharges of the radioactive substances into the environment is built on the same basic principles and criteria that underlie foreign regulation systems, and which are recommended by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The regulatory and methodological base formed to date in the Russian Federation contains all the required legal mechanisms for the regulation of discharges of the radioactive substances from nuclear facilities, is based on the best international practices and fully complies with the standards of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The study has evaluated production performance of oil well by using nodal analysis for entire production system. The goal of this study is to analysis one of the Sudanese oil field using nodal analysis and to review the field completion strategy for the respective field. The study starts by collecting the data from oil Company and takes the X Field as case study. The X field consist of 18 well and four of them were selected for theanalysis namely X NW-1, X NW-2, X NW-3 and X NW-4. Operating pressure for each well are 2409, 2455, 2550 and 2420 psia, and operating flow rate are 3925.4, 1110.4, 2255.7, and 1387.2 STB/D respectively. Wellfl modeling used for this task, which permits the production optimization of oil well using the concept of nodal analysis.

Several sensitivity analyses were conducted in order to get the production forecast. If assumed thatthe depletion in the pressure occur within 1 year, the pressure reduced to 2000 and 1000psia for each well; as can be seen, the production reduced rapidly inXNW-2 and XNW-4. However, 1000psia the production becomes zero for the four wells.

Published: February 2021

The menace of environmental dilapidation has been an issue of great concern in the built environment since the wake of the industrial revolution. Buildings have been said to be instruments that cut short the natural cycles of resources in both the human and natural ecosystem due to man’s anthropocentric mind-set and activities. Various theories, framework, and models have been proposed to facilitate re-generatively sustainable developments. This paper aims at highlighting strategies that are currently practiced in regenerative development with a view of presenting ideas for the practical application of regenerative sustainability in all its facets and phases. Relevant literature that described the processes of creating a regenerative development and the aspects in which regenerative sustainability principles are implemented were reviewed. The design strategies employed in the studied cases were described as they related to the phases and then grouped into the four facets of regenerative development. The paper, therefore, gives an idea of the various integrative element and practical strategies for the implementation of regenerative design in all its phases and facets. Clarity on the subject of regenerative development is also anticipated as examples of regenerative design element implemented in the cases under study were detailed out. These strategies, when applied with attention to place patterns and potentials in all aspects of the built environment, will help in creating a truly regenerative development in any area.

Authors: Ngaaje Ngwe Nnoko
Published: February 2021

The study was carried out on the physico-mechanical properties of plaster of Paris (Gypsum plaster) reinforced with paper pulp in order to improve the weight of plaster paste and to obtain materials of lighter weight that solve problems such as poor flexural strength, and crack propagation. To do this experiment, the considerable basis of a standard of 2 kg of plaster of Paris was taken as the test sample. Gradually plaster of Paris was substituted with paper pulp paste in a water basin in proportions K0, K1, K2, K3, K4, K5 and K6 representing the different percentages of 0%, 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% of mixture respectively. After the above observations, the following parameters on fresh and hardened samples were tested: the start time of reaction, and end time of hardening, consistency, the flexural and compressive strength, shrinkage, and apparent density. At the end of these tests, it was determined that, the incorporation of small amounts of paper pulp (2 kg samples) into the plaster paste improves its flexural properties. But from k0 to k6, properties related to bending and compression began to gradually fall which is a consequence of the augmentation of the amount of paper paste in the plaster paste. The presence of paper pulp in the plaster of Paris paste increases the time of hardening of the plaster cement from one proportion to another, reduces the workability of the mixed paste, significantly solves the problem of removal, the apparent density drops when waste paper paste is increased in the mixed plaster.

Because of its light weight, low density, its acceptable Mechanical properties, these new materials are recommended for exploitation in the manufacturing of popular lightweight construction finishing like panels for ceiling or walls, staff works and other applications.

Published: February 2021

This project uses production data to generate well-specific correlations for GLR, BSW and sand concentration which are used for predictions. A software has been developed to effect a smart control algorithm. This results in a bean up or bean down operation depending on the current flowing conditions and constraints. Excel programming environment was used to write a code that constantly takes in measured data points, models the behavior of the individual data sets with bean size and controls the choke if the parameters of interest go above a predetermined cut-off. The software was also equipped with an inverse matrix solving algorithm that enables it to determine the choke performance constants for any set of initialization data. A set of data from field X were supplied and the choke performance constants; A, B, C, D and E, were found to be 10, 0.546, 0.0, 1.89 and 1.0 respectively. In addition to that, data from subsequent production operations were entered and the software was able to control the choke size to ensure that production stays below set constraints of 500, 80 and 10 in field units for GLR, BSW and sand concentration respectively. From this, it can be concluded that the software can effectively maintain the production of unwanted well effluents below their cut-offs, thereby improving oil production and the overall Net Profit Value (NPV) of a project.

Hal yang melatarbelakangi gerakan ini adalah masih minimnya perhatian pemerintah dalam mengelola serta melestarikan arsip seni rupa. Padahal pekerjaan seniman dalam melakukan kerja seni tidak hanya menciptakan karya seni tetapi juga mendokumentasikan proses berkeseniannya. Namun hasil dari proses pendokumentasian inilah yang selanjutnya dapat dikatakan sebagai arsip dan perlu dilakukan berbagai upaya untuk menciptakan interaksi dengan masyarakat, dan memudahkan masyarakat atau penikmat seni untuk memahami karya seni yang diciptakan oleh seniman. Berbagai  upaya dilakukan IVAA dalam menumbuhkan gerakan sadar arsip kesenian dan kebudayaan pada masyarakat. Salah satunya melalui kegiatan Festival Arsip, dengan mengadakan beberapa kegiatan yang melibatkan interaksi antara pengunjung dan kegiatan pengarsipan.

Published: February 2021

O analfabetismo, no Brasil, permanece uma séria questão nacional, apesar de o acesso à escola ter deixado de ser um problema abrangente. O artigo apresenta uma síntese da Avaliação Nacional da Alfabetização (ANA), avaliação externa realizada em larga escala pelo governo federal brasileiro nas escolas públicas do País entre os anos de 2013 e 2016, tendo como público-alvo os estudantes do 3º ano do ensino fundamental da educação básica. Expõe um panorama sobre o método adotado na avaliação, apontando os principais conceitos e instrumentos que estruturaram a iniciativa. Sumariza os resultados nacionais demonstrados pelo público-alvo da edição 2016 da ANA, e os associa a um conjunto de variáveis escolares e sociaisrelevantes. Constata que as características do alunado, da infraestrutura, da dependência administrativa e da complexidade das escolas, assim como a formação dos docentes, criam grupos de escolas com enormes diferenças em termos da proficiência medida pelos testes da ANA.
Contribuições da autoavaliação institucional para o uso formativo das avaliações da alfabetização
Authors: Horta Neto Joao Luiz , Souza Santos José Roberto
Published: February 2021

Tem-se observado, nos últimos anos, um crescente interesse do poder público por avaliações externas no ciclo de alfabetização, tornando-as centrais no debate sobre a qualidade escolar nessa etapa de ensino. Contraditoriamente, essas ações têm influenciado pouco as tomadas de decisão no âmbito das escolas, frustrando, em parte, o que parece ser o interesse dos órgãos responsáveis pelas avaliações. Perante esse quadro, o presente artigo analisa algumas das possíveis razões que explicariam o fato de os resultados das avaliações do ciclo de alfabetização serem pouco utilizados para a melhoria escolar e discute as prováveis contribuições da autoavaliação institucional. Conclui que é preciso problematizar as avaliações externas tal como são realizadas, porque produzem de modo unilateral juízos acerca da qualidade das instituições, e, se as escolas não desenvolverem suas próprias avaliações, tornam-se reféns desses juízos.
Qualidade da educação e planejamento: um olhar a partir de marcos regulatórios nacionais
Authors: Silva Marcelo Soares Pereira da , Gonçalves Paulo Celso Costa
Published: February 2021

O presente artigo se propõe a situar o debate sobre o planejamento e a qualidade da educação no contexto das políticas educacionais nacionais no início dos anos 2000. Sustentado pela pesquisa documental e por meio da análise de conteúdo, localiza as diferentes concepções de planejamento e qualidade presentes no Plano de Desenvolvimento da Educação (PDE), no Plano de Ações Articuladas (PAR) e no Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE). Ao problematizar a relação entre planejamento e qualidade na educação, são demonstradas as ambiguidades e as contradições encontradas em documentos orientadores das políticas educacionais consideradas. Por vezes, há um hibridismo de concepções e perspectivas teóricas. Compreender os elementos destacados no estudo é fundamental para se construir processos de planejamento, efetivamente capazes de contribuir no processo de construção da qualidade social da educação.

Published: February 2021

Este artigo analisa textos escritos por 42 professoras em contextos de graduação, pós-graduação e extensão, com o objetivo de identificar concepções de qualidade da/na educação presentes em suas narrativas, produzidas em Portugal e no Brasil. Confrontamos as narrativas dominantes com a discussão do conceito de qualidade da/na educação associado a processos de transformação individual e coletiva que visam ao desenvolvimento de práticas democráticas e equitativas na escola, no trabalho docente e na sociedade. As narrativas das professoras mostram de que modo a qualidade da/na educação se associa ao trabalho docente como luta pela justiça social, quando procura valorizar e atender à diversidade e à inclusão de todos. Demonstram ainda como esse trabalho desafia as forças históricas e estruturais que condicionam a transformação da educação, procurando os fins democráticos que a educação escolar deve perseguir.

THE “HOMOGENIZATION PROCESS” IN ROMANIA
Authors: STOENESCU Roxana
Published: February 2021

The present research examines the relationship between the development of the nation state and homogenization efforts in Romania. On the one hand, this requires examining the establishment of ideological and dictatorial power practices that emerge from the historical context of capitalist and imperialist developments. On the basis of which the national conceptions of a closed body evolved, and thus certain groups, experienced because of their otherness compared to the national similarities, social exclusivity. Thus, the racial ideological attitudes and the resulting homogenization and repression policies of the dictatorships of the 20th century emerged. The aim of this work is to show how the homogenization process took place in Romania.
FAITH AND REASON IN THOMAS MERTON: THE “UNIFIED HEART” – A MONK’S SOLUTION?
Authors: GEHL Liana
Published: February 2021

Fede e ragione in Thomas Merton: il “cuore unificato” – la soluzione di un monaco? L’articolo prende l’avvio da uno scambio di lettere tra il monaco americano Thomas Merton ed il filosofo francese Jacques Maritain sul rapporto fede-ragione. Dopo aver considerato l’approccio mertoniano, avvicinandolo ad una posizione simile riscontrata in un carteggio anteriore tra Jacques Maritain ed il Beato Vladimir Ghika (un altro corrispondente affiattato del filosofo francese), l’articolo prosegue suggerendo che per Merton il problema non consistette tanto nel conciliare i dati della scienza con i dogmi della fede, quanto nel raggiungere quell’ “unificazione del cuore” auspicata dal filosofo Martin Buber come il vero cammino dell’uomo.
REZUMAT: Credință și rațiune la Thomas Merton: «unificarea inimii» – soluția unui monah? După ce analizează poziția lui Thomas Merton cu privire la raportul dintre credință și rațiune, pornind de la o corespondență a călugărului american cu filosoful francez Jaques Maritain, articolul „Credință și rațiune la Thomas Merton: «unificarea inimii» – soluția unui monah?” arată că pentru Merton, ca și pentru Fericitul Vladimir Ghika (un alt corespondent apropiat al lui Maritain), problema a fost nu atât una de conciliere între datele științei și dogmele credinței, cât mai degrabă una de „unificare a inimii”, în sensul atribuit conceptului de către filosoful Martin Buber.
