Tobacco use is widely spread all around the world and, according to the World Health Organization, has become the leading cause of death among persons aged ≥ 30 years old. Smoking contributes to the development of many infectious diseases, including pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Year after year we observe more evidence of the association between long-term smoking and risks for the development of pulmonary TB. Objective: to study the clinical and radiological features into two groups. Group 1 included 63 active smokers, and group 2 included 25 never-smokers. Results. The analysis of the two groups revealed that retreatment and relapse cases were more common among smokers. The majority of newly diagnosed TB cases were among never-smokers. Fibrocavernous pulmonary TB was oftener diagnosed among smokers vs non-smokers. Cavities and sputum positivity was more common among smokers. The analysis of drug resistance patterns established the predominance of MDR and XDR among smokers, while TB in non-smokers was more commonly caused by drug sensitive mycobacteria.

Kunqu
Authors: Lam Joseph S. C.
Published: September 2023

This chapter reports on a 2018 kunqu performance of the Palace of Everlasting Life (Changsheng dian) in Shanghai, surveys debates about kunqu as a classical genre of Chinese opera, and proposes a holistic hypothesis for its cultural, historical, and performance examinations. As the Shanghai performance demonstrates, kunqu tells Chinese stories with literary lyrics, flowing music, and elegant dances, entertaining audience and prompting them to contemplate on love, family, and other ideological and practical concerns. As the audience contemplate, they ask many questions about the genre: what kind of Chinese opera kunqu was, is, and should be; what and how it dramatizes Chinese emotions and memories; and how do audience critique kunqu shows and interpret their artistic and social-political messages. To answer these questions, kunqu needs to be holistically examined as a performance and discourse of Chinese culture, history, and personhood; continuously, kunqu shows and meanings are being creatively/recreatively staged and pragmatically negotiated.
Contemporary Kunqu
Authors: Lam Joseph S. C.
Published: September 2023

This chapter discusses kunqu performers’ collaborative creativity and dedicated efforts to make their shows continuously appealing and meaningful. As kunqu performers stage scripted and well-known stories with codified performance practices and materials, they nuance their acts to showcase their personal talents and to serve audience expectations and tastes. A prime example of such kunqu creativity and fine-tuned products is the Jade Hairpin (Yuzan ji) and its numerous renditions.History reports that Gao Lian (1527-1603?) and his artistic partners collaboratively created a performance script of the drama, and that generations of kunqu performers have creatively/recreatively realized the drama into distinctive shows. Each would feature individualized interpretations and/or adjustments of what Gao Lian and his partners authored, and what legendary performers have taught their disciples. To illustrate the ways kunqu shows evolve, this chapter presents comparative analyses of five different renditions of the “Zither Seduction” (“Qintiao) scene from the JadeHair Pin.
Kunqu as a Twenty-First-Century Chinese ICH and World Opera
Authors: Lam Joseph S. C.
Published: September 2023

This chapter examines Chinese preservation, development and exportation of kunqu with four analytical accounts. They are: a survey of overseas kunqu performances since the late 1950s, an account of China’s Sinicization of UNESCO ICH theories and practices, an examination of kunqu as an irreplaceable example of Chinese and world ICH, and an report on Bando Tamasaburo’s Peony Pavilion, a unique rendition that manifests the kabuki master performer’s Japanese aesthetics and performance skills of female impersonation. Significantly, Bando’s rendition not only charmed and encouraged Chinese kunqu practitioners to openly revive the genre’s traditional female impersonation practices, but also exposed the core issues of kunqu’s modernization and globalization: how, why, and for whom twenty-first-century China is preserving, developing and exporting kunqu as a classical opera of China and a world ICH.
The Zheng’s History Prior to 1949
Authors: Silverberg Ann L.
Published: September 2023

The zheng has a history of hundreds and quite possibly thousands of years in China. It was mentioned in classical Chinese treatises and represented in numerous poems and pictures during the Tang and Song eras. Known as an instrument played by female courtesans and courtiers, it was apparently sometimes played solo, accompanied singing, or was used as member of ensembles with various other instruments. The zheng gained a reputation as a vehicle for musical entertainment. The first known notated music specifically for the zheng exists in Thirteen Suites for Strings, an important collection of ensemble music compiled in the early nineteenth century. Approximately a century later, the zheng and its music were incorporated into the efforts of music reformers who sought to update and make Chinese music relevant in modern society. By 1949, when the People’s Republic of China was founded and the Nationlists fled to Taiwan, the zheng had a growing repertory of notated solo music and a nascent pedagogy. Cao Zheng had begun to teach the zheng in a mainland conservatory.
Conclusions
Authors: Silverberg Ann L.
Published: September 2023

The book’s conclusions return to the premises of the first chapter. The zheng’s history began to be configured by reformers on the Chinese mainland in the 1920s and 30s. Cao Zheng and Liang Tsai-ping were among the zheng experts involved in this effort. The Chinese Communist Party promoted a new ideology for music and the other arts, maintaining that they needed to serve the people. This effort involved “cai feng”: collecting folk music, notating, and sometimes recording it. The very act of notating this music was a consequential step for the music of the zheng. In many cases, it had not been created with the zheng in mind. Although much zheng music was formerly improvised and likely accompanied songs, solo zheng music became the best-known type of zheng music in the twentieth century. Lacking access to the mainland and its massive store of traditional Chinese music, Taiwanese zheng music incorporated creative new compositions. The continuity of historic zheng music is possibly best represented by singer-players such as Cao Dongfu, a master of Henan dadiao quzi, andDou Wun (who sang naamyam in Hong Kong).
Introduction
Authors: He Qiliang
Published: September 2023

This introductory chapter lays out the structure of the book and briefly introduces the five protagonists—film directors—of the book. It points out that the present book is not another historical account of how the moviemakers willingly subscribed to the Party’s ideologies or mightily struggled with them. Rather, it underscores how the changing political climates and unstable Party policies in Mao’s China enabled those filmmakers to create, maintain, and adjust their newfound subjectivities under this new sociopolitical system. It emphasizes the universality of human needs, such as earning political ranks, bringing in handsome incomes, garnering and securing job opportunities, and establishing high reputations to help understand the filmmakers’ careers and lives in Mao-era China. Those film directors constantly adjusted their tactics, particularly in their filmmaking activities, to maximize the benefits and minimize the disadvantages. Rather than exploring their a priori subjectivities as resisters to or collaborators of the communist regime, hence, the entire book underscores the process of making their subjectivities.

Safety and Efficacy of Selenium on Recovery of Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Authors: Shafiei Elham , Mahmoudvand Golnaz , Karimi Rouzbahani Arian , Nazari Ali
Published: September 2023

Background: Various micronutrients have been used to manage patients affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, data on the potential benefits of selenium for COVID-19 patients are scarce. Objectives: This study was conducted to monitor the efficacy and safety of selenium supplementation in COVID-19 patients hospitalized at Shahid Mostafa Khomeini Hospital in Ilam, Iran, in 2021. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 100 COVID-19 cases were included and divided into two groups: The selenium group (n = 50) was prescribed the hospital treatment protocol as well as selenium supplementation in a daily dose of 200 µg, and the control group (n = 50) that received only the hospital treatment protocol. Laboratory tests, including platelet, white blood count (WBC), hemoglobin, ferritin, c-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), were performed before the trial and on the 14th day. Two groups were compared based on laboratory findings, duration of hospitalization, and dependency on mechanical ventilation. Results: In the selenium group, platelets, WBC, and hemoglobin rose remarkably compared to their pre-treatment concentrations (P < 0.05), while a considerable drop was detected in levels of ESR, CRP, and ferritin (P < 0.05). The mean length of stay in the selenium and control groups was 9.27 ± 13.50 and 11.45 ± 14.33 days, respectively (P = 0.401). The mean mechanical ventilation dependency days in the selenium and control groups were 9.65 ± 11.71 and 7.45 ± 4.93, respectively, implying no statistically significant difference (P = 0.307). Conclusions: Selenium supplement may reduce levels of inflammatory markers in COVID-19 patients. Nevertheless, further trials are required to monitor its clinical effectiveness.
The Impacts of Coronavirus Disease 2019 on Pediatric Dentistry Services and Oral Health Status of the Pediatric Population: A Narrative Review
Authors: Ramazani Nahid , Ebrahimiyan Baghan Saeede
Published: September 2023

Context: The routine implemented by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on people’s lives has had several consequences. Children have also been involved in this crisis. Concerning pediatric oral health, dental workers also reduced working load and postponed treatments. Therefore, the present review aimed to assess related articles and discuss the impacts of COVID-19 on pediatric dentistry and pediatric oral health status. Evidence Acquisition: Electronic search was performed using the following keywords: “Coronavirus, COVID-19, Dental Care for Children, Dental Health Services, Pandemics, and Pediatric Dentistry.” Web of Science, PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochran Library, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Google databases were searched from the beginning of the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. After a preliminary search, 156 articles were retrieved, finally reduced to 13. Both reviewers carried out screening and selection of articles independently. Results: Based on the scientific articles (n = 13) included in our study, pediatric dentistry was severely impacted during the outbreak. Some factors included quarantine, reduced professional workload, fear of COVID-19 in families, the possibility of carrying the virus by children, accompanying children to the clinic by adults, and the impossibility of tolerance by the children to perform strict personal protective protocols and altered intake habits during the pandemic. Moreover, dental professionals can prevent the further spread of COVID-19 by adhering to guidelines, including conducting primary triage, keeping the office not overcrowded, regular disinfection, and distance education. Conclusions: Policymakers must find a biosafety solution for vulnerable pediatric populations. Telecommunications and distance education are the solutions for promoting oral health during this period.
Transarterial Chemoembolization for Hepatic Metastasis of Solitary Fibrous Tumor
Authors: Kwon Lyo Min , Choi Jin Woo , Kim Hyo-Cheol
Published: September 2023

Background: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are rare soft tissue tumors with a typically benign clinical course; however, up to 35% of SFT exhibit metastasis, resulting in a poor prognosis. The management of hepatic metastasis of SFT is yet to be established because of its rarity of cases. Objectives: Herein, we report the clinical results of 13 transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) sessions for hepatic metastasis in 5 patients with SFT. Patients and Methods: Patients with hepatic metastases from SFT who underwent TACE between May 2005 and April 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Tumor response was evaluated using the modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST). Results: Five patients (one male, mean age: 59.2 years) underwent 13 TACE sessions, resulting in four partial responses (PR, 30.8%), four stable disease cases (30.8%), and five progressive disease cases (38.5%). No severe complications occurred. Four of seven sessions (57.1%) of selective TACE showed partial response (PR). The mean progression-free survival (PFS) was 2.3 months (range: 0 - 8 months), and for sessions with PR, the mean PFS was 6.3 months (range: 3 - 8 months). The mean overall survival was 32.7 months (range: 18 - 44 months). Conclusion: This report suggests that TACE might be a potentially safe treatment option for hepatic metastasis of SFT, and it could offer a benefit in controlling local tumor growth in cases where selective TACE is applicable.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: Congenital malformation of mitral valve could encounter in isolation or with other congenital heart diseases. Objectives: Here, we report a case of congenital hypoplastic anterior mitral valve leaflet (AMVL). Methods: A 30-year-old male with a history of diabetes mellitus was referred with pleuritic chest pain since the previous day. He was admitted with impression of pericarditis. Trans thoracic echocardiography showed no pericardial effusion with incidental finding of lipomatous change of mitral valve annulus and hypoplastic AMVL with mild to moderate mitral regurgitation. Results: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed thickening and fibrosis replacement of intervalvular fibrosa which extended to AMVL and resulted in restricted mitral valve annulus (12.4 mm) with subsequent restricted MV opening without significant mitral stenosis or regurgitation. These data were in favor of congenital hypoplastic MV annulus. Conclusions: Hypoplastic AMVL with restricted mitral valve annulus is a rare cause of mitral valve malformation and could be well tolerated since adulthood with good prognosis.

Po získání Rhodu (1307/1309) a ostrovů Dodekanesu zřídili johanité vypuzení ze Svaté země řádový stát. K jeho správě a ochraně stavěli hrady, které museli opatřit vodou, na skalnatých ostrovech se skromnými zdroji převážně z cisteren (často z několika). Na ruinách nejsou vždy identifikovatelné, ale zřetelných příkladů známe dost. Způsob a technologii jejich stavby si rytíři již přinesli ze Svaté země. Cisterny jsou jak jednoduché, tak dvojdílné (s filtrační komorou), jsou zaklenuté a zastřešené. Oproti našim nahrazuje jílové izolace pálená omítka, chybějí však velké otevřené nádrže – berkily, jež existovaly v křižáckém Zámoří.

The aim of this research in general is to obtain a bachelor's degree (S1) in the Study of Religions study program and as additional reference material for future research. This type of research is library research, namely research carried out by collecting data and information in various ways such as reviewing several books, articles, magazines and so on. This research also uses a phenomenological approach. The phenomenological approach is the study of a person's life experiences or methods for how individuals subjectively perceive experiences and provide meaning to these phenomena. And this research also uses a comparative method, which means this research compares the situation of one or more variables. The results of this research, according to Paguyuban Sumarah and Pangestu, created humans based on four elements: fire, water, earth and air. However, in contrast to Islam, humans are created from the essence of the earth which is formed as well as possible and then the spirit is breathed into them.

The Right against Rights in Latin America: An Analytical Framework
Authors: Payne Leigh A.
Published: September 2023

The vast enterprise of studies on right-wing movements in Europe and the United States only rarely travel to other regions. Right-wing movements in other regions—such as Latin America--are not considered comparable. Sometimes the reason for excluding Latin America is expressly stated, such as the region’s distinct political history of dictatorships and civil conflict. This chapter contends that the problem of comparison is not the distinctiveness or irrelevance of Latin America’s right-wing movements, but the poverty and parochialism of the existing analytical frameworks. The chapter offers a new approach. It examines a new kind of mobilisation on the right – the right-against-rights consisting of countermovements, uncivil movements, and radical neoliberals. It asks and answers questions of who mobilises in the right-against-rights, when and why, how, and with what impact.
State Communication and Public Politics in the Dutch Golden Age
Authors: der Weduwen Arthur
Published: September 2023

This monograph describes the political communication practices of the authorities in the Dutch Golden Age. It is an in-depth study of early modern ‘state communication’: the manner in which government sought to inform its citizens, publicise its laws and engage publicly in quarrels with its political opponents. These communication strategies, including proclamations, the use of town criers, and the printing and affixing of hundreds of thousands of edicts, underpinned the political stability of the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic. The oligarchic regents who ruled the country always understated the extent to which they relied on the consent of their citizens. The regents shared a republican ideal which dismissed popular agency; yet far from withholding political information, the authorities were finely attuned to the benefit of involving their citizens in the affairs of state. Based on systematic research in thirty-two Dutch archives, this book demonstrates for the first time how the wealthiest, most literate and politically participatory state of early modern Europe was shaped by political information. It makes a decisive case for the importance of communication to the relationship between rulers and ruled, and the extent to which early modern authorities relied on their subjects to legitimise their government.
Selling the Republican Ideal
Authors: der Weduwen Arthur
Published: September 2023

The first chapter sets out the scope of the monograph, making the case for the importance of state communication in the Dutch Republic, home to a wealthy, highly literate, decentralised and politically-open society. Attention is paid also to broader European trends of state communication, and the peculiarities of the Dutch Republic as an accidental experimental state, one that in many ways punched above its weight in the politics of the seventeenth century. The chapter expands on the conception of the ‘republican ideal’ that was of such importance to the ideology and stability of the Dutch Republic, and explains why it rarely reflected the reality of Dutch politics and society.

Authors: Ho Cao Viet , Tran Minh Vuong
Published: September 2023

Value-chain analyses from the production to consumption stages of custard apple (Annona squamosa) are discussed in this paper. Limitations to small landholders’ income through processes of the value chain and ways of improving the chain are described.
Value-chain methodology was applied on custard apple chain which include of actors in the Tay Ninh province in South-East (SE) Vietnam to assess limitations that occurred from the production to the consumption stage, then to develop strategies and make recommendations to enhance profitability for farmers in the chain.
The key findings of the custard apple value-chain analysis are: (a) Farmers and collectors/ wholesalers play a very important role in the chain; however, the processing factory is the primary factor that influences the whole custard apple chain; (b) Information about the market and prices governs farmers’ benefits and income; (c) Cooperation and coordination among farmers are the best means to reduce risk and loss if the price were to depreciate; (d) Interaction between custard apple producers and processing enterprises is necessary for a sustainable consumption system; and (e) Small-scale farmers are dependent upon the price of custard apple to mitigate risks.
Education and Time in Market Work in Turkey: Evidence from Time Use Surveys
Authors: Susanlı Z. Bilgen
Published: September 2023

This study aims to explore the link between education and the time spent in paid work by married and cohabiting couples in Turkey. By using individual-level data from the time-use surveys, findings support the persistence of gender-based disparities in time-use patterns of married men and women. Educational attainment is a significant factor contributing to increased time in paid work for both men and women. While the number of young children is not a significant factor for men’s time in paid work, it reduces the time women devote to market work.
Marka Farkındalığının Satın Alma Niyeti Üzerindeki Etkisinde Marka Tercihinin Aracılık Rolü: Youtube Reklamları Örneği
Authors: Ocak Altuğ
Published: September 2023

YouTube, günümüzde pazarlama faaliyetlerinin önemli bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Tüketicilerin satın alma kararlarına etki etme potansiyeli nedeniyle, pek çok marka ürün ve hizmetlerini YouTube üzerinden tanıtmakta ve reklam vermektedir. Ancak, YouTube reklamlarının gerçekten tüketicilerin satın alma kararları üzerinde ne kadar etkili olduğu konusu, markalar için önemli bir soru haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada, YouTube reklamlarının tüketicilerde ne derece marka farkındalığı oluşturduğu, bu farkındalığın tüketicin satın alma niyeti üzerindeki etkisinin ne olduğu ve bu etkide marka tercihinin aracılık rolü incelenmiştir. Marka farkındalığı oluşturma tek başına tüketicilerin satın alma davranışlarını etkilemeye yetmemektedir. Yani, tüketicilerin bir markayı tanıyor olmaları, otomatik olarak bu markayı satın alacakları anlamına gelmemektedir. Bu noktada, marka tercihi önem kazanmaktadır. Tüketiciler, markalar arasında tercih yaparken, markanın kalitesi, fiyatı, kullanışlılığı gibi faktörleri dikkate almaktadır. Çalışmada, nicel analiz yöntemlerinden anket tekniği tercih edilmiş ve toplamda 394 katılımcıdan geri dönüş alınmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 25 programı ile analizlere tabi tutulmuş ve araştırma bulguları marka farkındalığı arttıkça, tüketicilerin satın alma niyetinin de arttığını göstermiştir. Yani, tüketicilerin bir markanın reklamını görmesi ve markayı hatırlaması, bu markanın ürün veya hizmetlerini satın alma niyetlerini arttırmaktadır. Bununla birlikte araştırma sonuçları, tüketicilerin birçok farklı marka arasında seçim yapmak zorunda kaldıkları bir pazarda, marka farkındalığının satın alma niyeti üzerindeki etkisinde marka tercihinin kısmı aracılık rolü olduğunu göstermiştir.

Authors: Özyılmaz Misican Duygu
Published: September 2023

Çalışma hayatının değişen dinamizmi, çalışma hayatının taraflarının güç dengelerini ve çalışma hayatını düzenleyen mekanizmaları değişmeye sürüklemektedir. Endüstri ilişkileri sisteminin kollektif ruhu, neoliberal politikaların etkisiyle dönüşüm süreci içine girmiştir.  Neoliberal politikaların ürünü olan insan kaynakları yönetiminin, endüstri ilişkileri sistemine dâhil olması ile çalışan, işletme içinde merkezi bir konuma yükselmeye başlamıştır. Kendi pazarlık sürecini yönetebilme gücü elde etmiştir. İnsan kaynakları yönetiminin çalışanın sesini, işveren karşısında yükseltmesine olanak veren uygulamaları ve emeğin yükselen nitelikleri ile endüstri ilişkileri sisteminin kollektif ruhu, çoğulculuktan bireyselciliğe kaymaya başlamıştır. Bireyselciliğe geçişte etkili olan uygulamalardan biri de çalışan sesliliğidir.
Bu çalışmanın amacı, değişimin yarattığı yeni çalışma kavramlardan biri olan çalışan sesliliği kavramına dikkat çekerek, endüstri ilişkileri sisteminin bireyselci bir zeminde ilerlemeye devam ettiğinin altını çizmektir. Çalışan sesliliği kavramının bu değişim sürecinde, endüstri ilişkileri sistemini nasıl etkilediğini analiz etmektir.
«Un fremito percosse l’aria». Elogio dell’isegoria
Authors: Guccini Gerardo
Published: September 2023

Nel mondo greco il termine isegoria designava l'eguale possibilità di prendere la parola nelle pubbliche assemblee. Il saggio mostra come questa prerogativa alla base della democrazia ateniese fosse fin dall'origine una componente essenziale della cultura teatrale. I grandi tragici - Eschilo ed Euripide - celebrano infatti la pratica assembleare della isegoria, mostrando di considerare il teatroun luogo in cui il drammaturgo poteva rivolgersi alla polis prendendo la parola su questioni fondamentali e urgenti. Le tragedie in cui Eschilo ed Euripide si diffondono sulla pratica assembleare della isegoria, presentano argomenti diversi e uno stesso titolo: Supplici. Non è un caso. Supplicanti erano infatti coloro che, portando rami avvolti in candida lana e graffiandosi a sangue le guance, rivolgevano, individualmente o riuniti in gruppi, specifiche richieste agli dei oppure a sovrani ai quali chiedevano di tutelare valori comunque protetti dal mondo olimpico. Nelle Supplici (463 a. C.) di Eschilo, Danao e le sue cinquanta figlie, in fuga dall'Egitto, chiedono a Pelasgo, re degli Argivi, ospitalità e difesa dai loro inseguitori. In quelle di Euripide (423 a. C.), le sette madri degli eroi morti a Tebe per sostenere Polinice, domandano a Teseo, re di Atene, d'imporre al sovrano tebano, l'inflessibile Creonte, di dare sepoltura ai loro cari
La Libia fascista di Federico Ravagli
Authors: Ridani Cecilia
Published: September 2023

The article examines the Libyan production of Federico Ravagli, a professor from Emilia Romagna who during the Fascist period moved to Libya where taught at the Italian high school in Tripoli. At the same time, he carried out an outstanding chronicle and documentary activity.Ravagli uses writing as a means of recounting his experience in the colony, which he will put later at the service of the propaganda of the Mussolini regime. In the three texts analyzed, Libya does not have the exotics features which characterized the first tales of travel, but it becomes the extension of Italy. The representation of “quarta sponda” that the author offers to us is the place where the virtues of the fascist superman are affirmed and where the cultural military value of Italian man in best displayed.
Suggestioni rimbaudiane nell’opera di Elsa Morante: un’ipotesi di lettura
Authors: Rubinacci Antonella
Published: September 2023

The paper intends to analyse the influence of Arthur Rimbaud's works on Elsa Morante's texts and, specifically, on Il mondo salvato dai ragazzini, a book published in 1968 that stands out for its remarkable heterogeneity, multiformity and complexity. Starting from the reading marks (annotations, underlinings, reminders) found in the writer’s volumes of the Oeuvres (now availables for consultation), the aim is therefore to reconstruct the traces of a dialogue that is not only based on some extracts of verses or intertextual references, but also on shared experiences (ecstatic and hallucinatory journeys), models (Baudelaire, Nerval, Michelet, the texts of oriental spirituality)languages and theoretical conceptions. The paper will then observe, always by making references to Rimbaud, how it can actually be possible to trace a path in Morante's vision of art and its role in reality from the book under examination – Il mondo salvato dai ragazzini – to Aracoeli, her last apocalyptic novel.
Redenzione e perdizione tra Manzoni e Pirandello
Authors: Sgroi Alfredo
Published: September 2023

In this essay, a parallel reading of the works of Manzoni and Pirandello is carried out, placing the theme of redemption at the center of attention. The two writers, the first Catholic, the second nihilist and skeptical, start from the common observation that theworld of men is dominated by evil. Thus it was born the need for a confrontation with the divine. In the Promessi Sposi, in Lazzaro, in many short stories, Manzoni and Pirandello describe the path of redemption that can transform the life of men.
Riflessioni sui nomi di persona
Authors: Vig István
Published: September 2023

This study examines the personal names in Volume III/1 and Volume IV/4 of the source publication Codice diplomatico longobardo. It aims to discover a) the origins of personal names; b) their use in social classes; c) the language attitude of persons with Longobard names. The bearers of the names were grouped into four social classes: a) upper class, b) middle class, c) the class of clergymen, d) lower class.(As found in royal diplomas, the use of Longobard names in their original forms were characteristic of members of the upper and the middle class. The /Spoleto/ ducal diplomas show a different case: from among the persons belonging to the upper and middle classes, 32 persons bear Longobard names in their original forms, in addition, 31 persons bear latinised Longobard names. This phenomenon is also reflected in their language attitude.) Names of Latin and Greek origins are mainly characteristic of the lower class, then at a lesser rate of the clergymen. Surprisingly, they can also be found more frequently among the names in ducal diplomas. The analysis of names and the language attitude of their bearers show a segment of a culturally and linguistically complex society. The members of the upper and middle classes in Northern Italy are characterized by a positive attitude to the Longobard language and probably by bilingualism, where the dominant language is Longobard. In the Duchy of Spoleto, the members of the middle class and partly those of the upper class wereprobably bilingual yet but they tended to romanity. Whereas bilingualism is probable also among clergymen, the majority of the lower class are more likely to have been monolingual, using the spoken Late Latin.
Il Dante Working class di Alberto Pruneti
Authors: Benucci Alessandro
Published: September 2023

In the latest novel by Alberto Prunetti’s Working-Class Trilogy, Nel girone dei bestemmiatori. Una commedia operaia (Laterza 2020), the “working-class” experience of the author’s father, Renato, is integrated in a process of parodic rewriting that involves Dante Alighieri’s Inferno and the “Hell” of the Italian proletarian condition in the second half of the 20th century. This article will firstly  underline the analogies and divergences between Prunetti’s novel and Dante’s archetype, while, in a second step, the similarities between Prunetti’s narrative and Dante’s poetry will be highlighted according to what has already been  consolidated in the first two volumes of the trilogy (stylistic contrasts, linguistic expressionism, abundance of regionalisms and Tuscanisms – multilingualism – elevated metaphorism). The aborted journey into the afterlife (the denial of paradise and the spectacular “comeback”) will be read in the conclusion as a narrative choice dictated by the particular Prunetti’s Sehnsucht: the nostalgia for a future with ideas already collectively experienced.
Lessico ed emozioni con la poesia
Authors: Bosc Franca
Published: September 2023

How do children learn to adequately express their emotions? Any adult tutoring children is aware of the importance they give to this personal competence. What, however, are the words used during these “special experiences”? They are lemmas of a volitional type, such as wanting, desiring, hoping, preferring; lemmas of an emotional type, such as happy, sad, including those that refer to the behavioral aspect of emotions (smiling, crying ...). Poetry with sounds, rhythm, blurry words plays a special role in learning the emotional vocabulary as it is able to promote, through empathy, the memorization of words that express feelings and emotions.
La famiglia italiana ieri e oggi: la svolta del Novecento
Authors: Savi Caroline
Published: September 2023

The Twentieth Century has witnessed great transformations in the family realm both from a social and a legal perspective. This is particularly the case around 1970 when Law no. 898 («Legislation of Cases of Dissolution of Marriage» / «Disciplina dei casi di scioglimento del matrimonio») was passed, which was a «necessary prerequisite» of Law no. 151 1975 («Reform of Family Law» / «Riforma del diritto di famiglia»), often identified as the basis for a new family law framework. Relying mostly on the evolution of the institutions of marriage and filiation, we shall see that the revolution triggered by Law no. 151/1975 is far from over.
Letteratura e memoria: lo sguardo della donna sulla storia del Sudtirolo
Authors: Vignazia Adriana
Published: September 2023

The historical novels analysed express the wish to contribute to a deeper understanding of the “other”, by showing the consequences of historical events on the private lives of the excluded, primarily women. Francesca Melandri recounts the history of the region from the perspective of the women of the Huber family, attesting to the need to open up and embrace diversity. Lilli Gruber confronts taboo subjects in the German-speaking community by denouncing complicity with Nazism and international terrorist plots. Anna Rottensteiner shows the pervasiveness of fascism and the high price of disillusionment. Astrid Kofler, in contrast to the stereotype of the fascist teacher, presents a teacher who is attentive to the needs of her pupils, criticises the situation of women of the period, the social exclusion of Roma and traveller communities and the problem of their integration.
Digiunatori e cannibali. Il rapporto tra morale e successo nella filosofia di Guido e Giorgio Voghera
Authors: Lunzer Renate
Published: September 2023

In times like ours, in the first decades of the third millennium, when violence and oppression of the weaker have become again means of politics, it seems appropriate to present considerations emerged in the first decades of the 20th century in a multicultural mitteleuropean context with a strong jewish connotation. These considerations, recorded by the Triestinian writer Giorgio Voghera in the Pamphlet postumo of 1967, are based on the ideas of his father Guido, mathematicion, inventor and umanist. They refer to the ethical anti-selection (“antiselezione etica”) on the way to success, which appears as an inversion of Hegel’s dialectics, but also of darwinistic ideologies. A bulwark against the evils of society provoked by the prepotency of the so called “spiriti acquisitativi”, who feel free of moral inhibitions in the choice of their means, can be found only in the absolut respect for the orthodoxy of means (“ortodossia dei mezzi”), i.e. often in self-limitation and voluntary.
