Pràctiques artístiques col·laboratives i protesta ciudadana: València 1991-2015
Authors: Martínez Biot Bárbara
Published: February 2023

El presente artículo intenta ser una exposición de la tesis doctoral del mismo título. Ésta ha abordado el estudio de las prácticas artísticas colaborativas en la ciudad de Valencia entre 1991 y 2015. Este pasado se ha definido por una connivencia de la política con la economía con el objetivo de situar a Valencia al frente del turismo internacional.
Esta política tuvo su oposición en una serie de colectivos que tomaron la calle con sus protestas. Esta investigación ha seleccionado a algunos de los grupos activistas más representativos para profundizar en el conflicto que dio lugar a su formación.
Por último, la investigación empírica de estas prácticas se materializará en tres tipologías analíticas con el objetivo de concluir que estas actividades facilitan la visibilidad del conflicto y al mismo tiempo pueden ser una herramienta de construcción o reconstrucción de la cohesión social de un barrio o de un grupo social.

Authors: Zadjali Fahad , Al Farsi Baraea , Zadjali Razan , Bayoumi Riad A. , Al Barwani Sulayma , Al-Yahyaee Saeed
Published: February 2023

Objectives: Leptin is a hormone that contributes to glucose homeostasis and food intake regulation via its action on the hypothalamus. Leptin level increases with obesity and overfeeding and decreases with energy deficiency. Serum leptin levels vary between different ethnic groups with no reports of its reference range in the Arabic population. We sought to determine gender-specific reference ranges for serum leptin in a cohort of the Arabic population and identify the cut-off value for different metabolic derangements. Methods: The study data were obtained from the records of 1198 subjects included in the Oman Family Study. The percentile method was used in the estimation reference range and the receiver operating characteristic to identify cut-off points for multiple metabolic derangements. Results: The reference range of serum leptin was 0.5–90.6 ng/mL, and it was not correlated with the age of the subjects. Higher leptin was observed in females compared to males (p < 0.001), and the reference range for serum leptin in females was 4.9–96.3 ng/mL compared to 0.25–48.8 ng/mL in males. The optimum cut-off value for leptin ranged between 24.1–28.9 ng/mL for metabolic syndrome, obesity, central obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Conclusions: We identified gender-specific reference ranges for serum leptin in a large cohort of Arabs. The optimum cut-off value for serum leptin to determine metabolic derangement with the highest sensitivity and specificity was 24.1–28.9 ng/mL. Future studies are needed to study the relative risk of higher serum leptin using prospective studies.

Dez anos de LAI e a pesquisa sobre o acesso à informação pública pelo jornalismo
Authors: Brenol Marlise Viegas , Baccin Alciane
Published: February 2023

O artigo tem o objetivo de fazer uma revisão sistemática sobre a Lei de Acesso à Informação (LAI) em pesquisas de mestrado, de doutorado e em artigos publicados em periódicos da área da Comunicação e Informação. O recorte visa identificar o impacto da LAI na produção científica associada ao jornalismo. Em vigor desde 2012 no Brasil, a LAI regulamentou o direito constitucional à informação e deu providências sobre a disponibilidade digital e os meios de acesso. Os jornalistas utilizam a informação pública na construção noticiosa e, portanto, são diretamente interessados no bom funcionamento da norma. A revisão nas bases de teses e dissertações indicou 17 trabalhos e os 57 periódicos investigados somaram 14 artigos em dez anos. Os resultados apontam pesquisas de representação da LAI pelos jornais, de processos produtivos em jornalismo e relacionado ao papel social dos jornalistas na democracia. Mais da metade dos estudos foram publicados entre 2017 e 2020.

The Fatimids 2
Authors: Jiwa Shainool
Published: February 2023

One of the most prosperous and influential dynasties of the Muslim world, the Fatimids (909–1171) were distinguished by their Imam-caliphs, who asserted religious as well as political authority in direct descent from the family of the Prophet. Their conquest of Egypt in 969 marked the inception of a burgeoning Mediterranean empire. From there, they refined their systems of administration, judiciary, and governance, instilling principles of inclusion which contributed to stability during their caliphate. Fatimid Cairo flourished as a vibrant cultural and intellectual centre through patronage of the arts, architecture, and scholarship.

This book continues the story of the Fatimids from their newly founded capital of Cairo. Introducing the figures who moulded the empire, Shainool Jiwa charts the Fatimids’ expansion, the reasons behind their ultimate fall by the hand of Saladin, and the legacy that continues with the living Ismaili communities today. This lively and engaging work, including maps and colour images, draws on a broad range of primary sources to lead readers through two centuries that witnessed the triumphs and trials of the only sustained Shi’i caliphate to rule across the medieval Islamic world.
Smell and the Past
Authors: Tullett William
Published: February 2023

‘What if researchers interested in ‘the past’ used their noses? This open access book makes the case for a more imaginatively interdisciplinary approach to sensory heritage and history, arguing that we can and should engage our noses as a research tool for articulating the past.’

Assessing how both we and our ancestors approach, understand and conceptualise smell, Tullett shows how archives can be ‘re-odorized’ to uncover narratives that are only implicit in or obscured by the historical record. From perfume libraries to organic compounds emitted by historical objects, this book acts as a guide for employing our olfactory senses when researching and studying history in order to understand and communicate the past more fully. Employing ‘olfactory figures’ examples, Smell and the Past shows how historical narratives and arguments can be found through a structured olfactory experience, and demonstrates how our understanding of the past and its relationship with the present is enriched by opening our minds and using our noses.

The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program project ODEUROPA under grant agreement number 101004469.’
Communist Czechoslovakia, 1945-89
Authors: Mcdermott Kevin
Published: February 2023

New Casebook offers a selection of the most lively and innovative contemporary criticism on the four late plays commonly known as Shakespeare's 'Romances': Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale and The Tempest. New historicist, Marxist, feminist and psychoanalytic perspectives are all represented, alongside other readings that engage with less familiar issues such as nationalism, topography, religious politics and medico-moral discourse. Alison Thorne's introduction explores the much discussed question of how these plays should be classified generically, and traces the recurrence of certain preconceptions and critical stances in the reception of the Romances from the seventeenth century onwards.
Why fitness impacts of different herbivores may combine nonadditively, and why it matters to the ecology and evolution of plant-herbivore communities
Authors: Wise Michael J.
Published: February 2023

Background and aims – The manner by which the effects of multiple antagonists combine is a fundamental issue in ecology. This issue has been especially important in plant-herbivore evolutionary ecology—particularly predicting whether the combined fitness impacts of multiple herbivores on a shared host plant can be inferred by simply adding the individual impacts that each herbivore has when feeding alone. Despite accumulating empirical data, relatively little theoretical progress has been made in explaining why impacts of herbivore damage often combine nonadditively, as well as predicting the conditions that lead to a greater-than-additive (synergistic) or to a less-than-additive (subadditive) pattern.

Material and methods – Based on considerations of limiting resources and source-sink relationships, I proposed and tested two hypotheses: 1) The fitness impacts of two species of herbivores that affect the same resource (i.e. feed on the same tissue in a similar fashion) will combine in a synergistic pattern (if that resource is not limiting reproduction when plants do not experience herbivory), and 2) The fitness impacts of two herbivores that affect different resources (i.e. feed on different tissues) will combine in a subadditive pattern. I performed a field experiment in which horsenettle (Solanum carolinense) was exposed to a factorial combination of four levels of leaf herbivory and five levels of simulated floral herbivory.

Key results – The results were consistent with both hypotheses: 1) The combined fitness impact of flower damage that was simulated as being caused by two florivorous species feeding on the same plants was greater than the sum of the same total amount of damage when the two species were simulated as feeding individually; and 2) The combined fitness impact of the leaf and floral damage was less than the sum of the same total amount of damage when the two species fed individually.

Conclusions – The main ecoevolutionary implication of these results is that subadditive impacts of leaf- and flower-feeding herbivores could weaken selection for resistance in horsenettle (or any plant species that hosts multiple herbivores), and thus subadditive impacts may contribute to the maintenance of diverse herbivore communities sharing a species of host plant.

Social Development Initiative Toward Enhancement of Bumiputera Value in Iskandar Malaysia
Authors: Yunos Farid , Johar Foziah
Published: February 2023

Malaysia has been defined as a plural society, characterised by distinct racial communities, each having its own space and activities. Most literature implies that there is a still gap between races in terms of economic equity and property ownership. Despite the initiative by the government namely the New Economic Policy (NEP) introduced in 1971, to eradicate poverty and to achieve 30 percent of Bumiputera equity in all economic sectors, the performance of the Bumiputeras are not as encouraging. A more recent initiative is the launching of the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) to support the Vision 2020 aspiration to become a high income economic nation by 2020. Iskandar Malaysia (IM), a new development corridor in the southern part of Peninsular Malaysia has been identified as one of the catalysts for GDP growth through high-impact developments. The Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP), a blueprint of the area has outlined various development strategies in line with the vision of IM as a sustainable conurbation of international standing. Since then, the city-region has experienced a high rate development through several publicâ€“private urban renewal and new urban/suburban projects. This paper examines the strategic policies on social development generally, in particular, the development strategy that will result in the increase in the value of Bumiputera land as well as other benefits.

Published: February 2023

Pembangunan komuniti umumnya menjadikan komunti sebagai tumpuan utama dan subjek pembangunan. Dalam konteks Malaysia, pembangunan komuniti lazimnya diberi penekanan kepada komuniti yang mendiami kawasan mundur, terpencil dan ketinggalan daripada arus perdana pembangunan negara. Kajian lepas menunjukkan kejayaan pembangunan individu dan komuniti bergantung kepada penerapan prinsip pemerkasaan atau pengupayaan para peserta agar melibatkan diri dan mengambil tanggungjawab ke atas kemajuan projek masing-masing. Di Malaysia, pihak kerajaan melaksanakan pembangunan komuniti melalui pelbagai organisasi atau institusi. Selain daripada itu, terdapat juga usaha di luar sektor kerajaan dan swasta yang menyumbang kepada program pembangunan sosioekonomi komuniti. Di Terengganu, Yayasan DiRaja Sultan Mizan (YDSM) yang ditubuhkan pada 2005 adalah antara institusi yang proaktif melaksanakan program-program pembangunan sosioekonomi dengan tumpuan kepada komuniti miskin dan terpinggir. Artikel ini bertujuan membentangkan pengalaman salah satu daripada program tersebut, iaitu projek usahatani cendawan untuk ibu tunggal di Terengganu berdasarkan hasil penemuan projek penyelidikan â€œPembangunan dan Pemerkasaan Komuniti: Penilaian ke atas Projek-projek Yayasan Diraja Sultan Mizan (YDSM).â€ Artikel ini mempunyai tiga objektif, iaitu mengenal pasti konsep pemerkasaan yang dilaksanakan oleh agen pembangunan bukan-pemerintah, dalam kes ini YDSM; menilai keberkesanan program usahatani cendawan kepada peserta golongan ibu tunggal; dan ketiga, meneliti dan menilai proses pelaksanaan dan pemantauan program ini dalam usaha memperkasakan golongan ibu tunggal. Projek ini bersifat action research atau penyelidikan tindakan yang bertujuan melakukan penambahbaikan dari segi pelaksanaan program secara berterusan berdasarkan maklum balas yang diperoleh melalui kajian.

The Transformation in Economic and Workforce Development in Sabah: an Analysis
Authors: Sayed Mahadi Syed Abdul Razak bin
Published: February 2023

The implementation of New Economic Development in 1970 gave implications to Sabah's socioeconomic development. Agro-based economic development supported by infrastructural development could be observed especially in the 2000s. At the same time, educational improvement has brought about social mobility among local people which eventually changed the workforce structure. These internal changes have caused an imbalance in the need and demand of the workforce, especially in the 3D (Dirty, Dangerous & Difficult) work sector known as low-skilled. The agricultural, construction and manufacturing sectors which are labour-intensive were facing a labour shortage crisis. This brought about the employment of foreign worker policy, which was initially intended for the short term; until the nation's economy becomes labour efficient with the use of machinery. However, dependency on foreign labour can still be observed to date to ensure low production costs so as to remain competitive in the global market. This paper intends to see economic transformation as well as changes in workforce demand which initiated the need for foreign labour. In discussing this issue, the writer analysed population, education, workforce, agricultural sector and foreign workers data to explain the transformation and internal changes. Based on the data projection of a few decades, this paper could explain in detail the phenomena we are facing today. The understanding of this issue is pertinent in solving problems related to the handling of the foreign workforce.
Beach Morphology Changes during the Northeast and Southwest Monsoons at Mantanani Besar Island, Sabah (Malaysia)
Authors: Koiting Russel Felix , Saleh Ejria , Ismail Md Nizam
Published: February 2023

Mantanani Besar Island is a tourism and island that also has communities and is located in the west coast of Sabah. The island coastline is dominated by sandy beaches that tend to change due to direct exposure from natural phenomenon (waves, wind, current and periodic storm) and anthropogenic activities. The seasonal monsoon (NEM and SWM) is an important factor that intensifies the natural phenomenon leading to major beach changes in a short period of time. Therefore, this study aims to determine the beach morphology changes (profile, width, angle and volume) and to identify short-term beach changes trends at different seasonal monsoons. This study was conducted annually between 2013 and 2015. Beach profiling and field measurements were done in May and November 2013, March and September 2014 and January and May 2015 at 5 selected stations around Mantanani Besar Island. Further analysis of beach width, angle and volume were calculated based on beach profile data. The result of beach profile shows St. 1, St. 2 and St. 5 undergoing erosion while St. 3 and St. 4 are experiencing accretion. Averages of beach morphology were higher during the NEM than in SWM indicating more sediment accumulation on the beach of Mantanani Besar Island during the NEM and vice versa in SWM. The findings of this study are useful for local communities, tourist operators and the local government as a guide for any development and to produce shoreline management plans for Mantanani Besar Island.

Published: February 2023

Tree species composition and diversity were determined at 1,600 m Payeh Maga Highland in Lawas, Sarawak, Borneo. Five study plots (20 x 20 m) were established at five transect lines (1 ha). The study shows that the forest was represented by 40 families, 68 genera and 151 species. Fagaceae represented 26 % of the families recorded, followed by Myrtaceae (16 %) and Clusiaceae (12 %) which are a typical family of montane forest in this region. Important Value Index (IV) showed Lithocarpus urceolaris as the most important species (IV=294 %), followed by Gymnostoma sumatranum (IV=273 %) and Tristaniopsis microcarpa (IV=194 %). There are no significant differences among transects for number of species and diversity indices. This forest is important for biodiversity conservation as it is as rich as those reported for lowland forests elsewhere in this region. The continued accumulation of species is an indication that this highland could support and provide habitat for larger tree species communities.

An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in the spices market of two provinces of China . This study aimed to describe the survey of spices sold and the availability of clove, nutmeg, and pepper in China and Indonesia markets. The study documented the knowledge of the utilization of pepper, clove, and nutmeg by Chinese and Indonesian people. Different communities based on their perceptions and experience use the same spice plants for many purposes. Unstructured interviews and literature study were also conducted to complement the data. Cloves, nutmeg, and pepper are the three kinds of main spices for the Chinese people. Indonesian people use nutmeg and clove for one particular type of cuisine, otherwise pepper is used in a variety of dishes, to provide a spicy flavour. Due to the medicinal properties of clove and nutmeg, Indonesian and Chinese people use clove not only as a spice but also for medicine. Apart from using it as a spice and medicine, Indonesian people also use nutmeg for snacks.
Invasive Apple Snails in Wetlands of Selangor, Malaysia: Species, Distribution, and Ecological Associations
Authors: Phoong Melanie Ji Cheng , Hah Huai En , Rao Suganiya Rama , Yow Yoon Yen , Ratnayeke Shyamala
Published: February 2023

Apple snails in the genus Pomacea are among the worst invasive species in Southeast Asia. Our objectives were to survey a selection of different wetlands in Selangor for Pomacea, verify which species of Pomacea occurred in that location, and assess basic environmental parameters associated with their presence and relative abundance. Aquatic parameters including pH and concentrations of selected electrolytes were measured at 25 wetland sites distributed among eight localities in Selangor. DNA from snails collected at each locality was extracted and the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) was sequenced. We detected two of the most successful invaders of this genus: P. canaliculata was found in five localities and P. maculata in two. Both pH and calcium ion concentrations were negatively associated with Pomacea presence. Pomacea were absent in brackish wetlands with high pH and calcium concentrations reflecting possible physiological intolerance or that dispersal into these habitats has yet to occur. P. maculata is reported to tolerate pH as low as 4.5-6; thus most freshwater wetlands in Selangor and most of Malaysia can potentially be invaded. Pomacea canaliculata and P. maculata have demonstrated remarkable capacity for depleting aquatic macrophytes and may cause rapid changes in aquatic plant communities with potential impacts to wetland state and function. Public awareness and environmentally safe recommendations to mitigate the reproduction and spread of this invasive snail is needed for protecting the biodiversity and health of natural wetlands.
Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) and Breadfruit (A. altilis): Phytochemistry, Pharmacology, Commercial Uses and Perspectives for Human Nourishment
Authors: Raihandhany Reza , Wicaksono Adhityo , Da Silva Jaime A. Teixeira
Published: February 2023

The Artocarpus J. R. & G. Forster genus is comprised of about 50 species. Artocarpus is derived from the Greek word artos, meaning bread while karpos means fruit. There are two species that are widely distributed in tropical regions, Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam., known as jackfruit, and Artocarpus altilis (Parkinson) Fosberg, known as breadfruit, both in the Moraceae or mulberry family. Both of these Artocarpus species have medicinal properties and biological activities that are derived from almost every part of the tree,  fruit, seed, wood, bark, leaves and sap. This review examines the limited work that has been conducted on the biology and biotechnology of these two Artocarpus species with the hope that this knowledge may spur further basic and applied research.

Micam: Visualizing Feature Extraction of Nonnatural Data
Authors: Klepetko Randy , Krishnan Ram
Published: February 2023

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) continue to revolutionize image recognition technology and are being used in non-image related fields such as cybersecurity. They are known to work as feature extractors, identifying patterns within large data sets, but when dealing with nonnatural data, what these features represent is not understood. Several class activation map (CAM) visualization tools are available that assist with understanding the CNN decisions when used with images, but they are not intuitively comprehended when dealing with nonnatural security data. Understanding what the extracted features represent should enable the data analyst and model architect tailor a model to maximize the extracted features while minimizing the computational parameters. In this paper we offer a new tool Model integrated Class Activation Maps, (MiCAM) which allows the analyst the ability to visually compare extracted feature intensities at the individual layer detail. We explore using this new tool to analyse several datasets. First the MNIST handwriting data set to gain a baseline understanding. We then analyse two security data sets: computers process metrics from cloud based application servers that are infected with malware and the CIC-IDS-2017 IP data traffic set and identify how re-ordering nonnatural security related data affects feature extraction performance and identify how reordering the data affect feature extraction performance.
A Cryptocurrency Analysis Tool based on Social Metrics
Authors: Xu Bill , Sun Yu
Published: February 2023

Recent years have witnessed the dramatic popularity of cryptocurrencies, in which millions invest to join the cryptocurrency community or make financial gains [1]. Investors employ many ways to analyze a cryptocurrency, from a purely technical approach to a more utility-centred approach [2]. However, few technologies exist to help investors find cryptocurrencies with bright prospects through social metrics, an equally if not more important viewpoint to consider due to the importance of communities in the space. This paper proposes an application to evaluate cryptocurrencies based on social metrics by establishing scores and models with machine learning and other tools [3]. We verified the need for our application through surveys, applied it to test investment strategies, andconducted a qualitative evaluation of the approach. The results show that our tool benefits investors by providing them with a different lens to view cryptocurrencies and helps them make more thorough decisions.
A Novel System for Regional Twitter Hate Speech Analysis and Detection using Deep Learning Models and Web Scraping
Authors: Ma Nicole , Sun Yu
Published: February 2023

Instances of hate speech on popular social media platforms such as Twitter are becoming increasingly common and intense. However, there still exists a lack of comprehensive deeplearning models to combat Twitter hate speech. In this project, a comprehensive detection and reporting platform, entitled “TweetWatch,” was created to solve this issue. A binary classification CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and a multi-class CNN were created to detect hate speech from real-time Twitter data and classify tweets with hate speech into five categories. The binary classification model has an AUC score of 98.95% and an F1 score of 97.88%. The multi-class classification model has an AUC score of 89.46%. All metrics reached over a targeted 5% increase from previous models in multiple papers, validating the proposed solution. Additionally, the only real-time choropleth map for hate speech in the United States was successfully created.
Mid-Term results in adult humeral fractures with titanium elastic nail fixation versus plate and screw fixation and locking intramedullary nailing
Authors: Pekince Oğuzhan , Koç Mehmet Rauf , Toker Serdar
Published: February 2023

Aims: To compare plate-screw fixation, intramedullary nailing (IMN), and titanium elastic nailing (TEN) as a new fixation method with respect to nonunion, complication rates, and functional outcomes in the repair of adult humeral shaft fractures.
Methods: A total of 38 adult patients who were treated due to humeral shaft fracture at our clinic and were followed for minimum six months between January 2012 and January 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Age, sex, fracture etiology an length of hospitalization were recorded. Fractures were classified according to the Association for Osteosynthesis(AO) classification. Nonunion rates as assessed by X-ray during visits, angulation, shoulder, elbow and hand disability scores were evaluated using the DASH, Mayo Elbow and UCLA Shoulder scoring, and Stewart Hundley criteria.
Results: There was no significant epidemiological difference between the groups. The length of hospitalization was lower in the TEN group. There was no significant difference in nonunion rates and functional scores according to the type of treatment. Angulation rate was slightly higher in the TEN group. The effect of angulation on functional score showed no influence on the functional status. The three treatment types mostly achieved excellent and good outcomes.
Conclusion: Our study results suggest that TEN seems to be a good alternative treatment in eligible patients with humeral shaft fractures considering complications of other treatments. However, we believe that further, large-scale, randomized-controlled, prospective studies with longer follow-up duration are required to confirm these findings and to establish a definite conclusion.

La desprotección de los recurrentes frente a las infracciones procesales en el orden jurisdiccional contencioso-administrativo: ¿quiebra del derecho a la tutela judicial efectiva?
Authors: Casado Casado Lucía
Published: February 2023

Este trabajo ha obtenido el 1.er Premio «Estudios Financieros» 2020 en la modalidad de Constitucional y Administrativo.
Este trabajo analiza los obstáculos con que se enfrenta, en el orden jurisdiccional contencioso-administrativo, la tutela de los derechos procesales de los recurrentes, con el fin de advertir de los principales problemas y déficits que presentan los medios de impugnación existentes para articular una protección efectiva frente a las infracciones procesales. Tras las últimas reformas normativas, la depuración de errores procesales cometidos por jueces y magistrados al dictar resoluciones judiciales se ha visto seriamente dificultada y, en muchos casos, imposibilitada. El estudio realizado pone de manifiesto el debilitamiento que ha sufrido el derecho a la tutela judicial efectiva de los recurrentes frente a las infracciones de naturaleza formal o procedimental en que incurren las resoluciones judiciales, al no existir mecanismos efectivos de depuración y quedar sin posibilidad de control y corrección buena parte de los vicios in procedendo cometidos por los órganos jurisdiccionales. A su vez, plantea la necesidad de reforzar la tutela de los derechos procesales de los ciudadanos y realiza, a estos efectos, algunas propuestas de lege ferenda que, de materializarse, reforzarían su derecho a la tutela judicial efectiva, solventando o, por lo menos, mitigando algunos de los problemas actualmente existentes.

Han pasado ya más de 10 años desde la celebración en la ciudad de Nueva York de la Convención sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad, la cual entró en vigor en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico el día 3 de mayo de 2008. Dicha convención ha supuesto un hito en materia de discapacidad y un verdadero tratado en cuanto a derechos sociales y humanos se refiere. A pesar de ello, de la celebración de multitud de congresos, de normativa reciente y promulgada en relación con el ámbito de la discapacidad, de novedosas sentencias judiciales, entre otros acontecimientos, no se han obtenido los ansiados resultados. Sin embargo, es dentro de la esfera del derecho constitucional donde se están produciendo, a día de hoy, grandes avances en lo referente al campo de la discapacidad. En el presente trabajo, vamos a analizar uno de estos avances constitucionales, el cual ha quedado reflejado en la supresión de la privación del derecho de sufragio a las personas con discapacidad, privación que suponía una vulneración flagrante de lo recogido en el artículo 29 de la Convención de Nueva York. Es por ello que la Ley 2/2018, de 5 de diciembre, de modificación de la Ley Orgánica 5/1985, de 19 de junio, del Régimen Electoral General, ha supuesto una victoria del llamado «derecho de la discapacidad».
Cómo acabar de una vez por todas con el descontrol en la mal llamada «jura de cuentas»
Authors: Bonet Navarro José
Published: February 2023

La STC de 14 de marzo de 2019 declaró la inconstitucionalidad de los artículos 34.2.III y 35.2.II y IV de la LEC, porque excluían el recurso frente al decreto del letrado de la Administración de Justicia al resolver la oposición en la llamada «jura de cuentas». Aunque no se indique expresamente, parte del carácter jurisdiccional de este proceso. Esto permite revisar críticamente la STJUE de 16 de febrero de 2017 (C-503/2015), y también impone al legislador español reconsiderar este procedimiento, al menos para introducir un sistema de control judicial, tanto de la admisibilidad del proceso como de las eventuales cláusulas abusivas cuando se trata de consumidores.

Henri H. Stahl și mediul lui
Authors: Rostás Zoltán
Published: February 2023

In this introductory article, it is emphasized that Professor Henri H. Stahl’s birthday is an opportunity to deepen the knowledge of his work and to identify new ways of researching unclear periods. An innovator in both village research and its social history, Henri H. Stahl became well known in the international scholalrly circles too. Research into his work, activity and environment should not only be an act of respect, but a contribution to the modernization of the social sciences.

„Nu știm decât foarte puțin ce este satul”
Authors: Pop Rucsandra
Published: February 2023

In this article, I look at Mihai Pop as an agent of continuity, but also as an agent of theoretical refreshment in the social sciences in communist Romania. Through his research activity, but also through his status as director of the Institute of Folklore and university professor, he ensured not only the connection with the past, but also a permanent connection of the local scientific field with research centers around the world. I have chosen to stop at some pivotal moments in the history of ethnology during the communist period that have Pop as the protagonist, whether it is theoretical disputes, the practice of discipline or the evolution of institutions. I want to show both the way in which the study of folklore was distorted by the ideology, but also the strategies by which the scientific field maintained, as far as the times allowed, a kind of autonomy. I will start from Mihai Pop’s vision of the village and of the folkloric reality showing that, despite the passing of the years, the changes in the political regime and the evolution of the social sciences, the researcher’s vision on the Romanian village has not changed fundamentally during his career. I will then show how the theoretical dispute between Mihai Pop and George Călinescu, from the early 1960s, imposed a new conception of the notion of literary folklore as an ethnological science and not a philological one. I will also point out how Mihai Pop’s double role – as director of the Folklore Institute and Folklore professor at the University of Bucharest greatly influenced the development of the field during communism.
REVIEW: Vera Szabari, ed. (Disz) kontinuitások. A Magyar Szociológia 1960 és 2010 között
Authors: Telegdy Balázs
Published: February 2023

(Disz)kontinuitas. A magyar szociológia 1960 es 2010 kozott [(Dis)continuities. Hungarian Sociology between 1960 and 2010], edited by Vera Szabari, proves that, at least in Central and Eastern Europe, it is both meaningless and impossible to study the history of sociology in isolation, without the political and historical context. The main argument in favor of this claim is the first article, written by the editor, which breaks down Hungarian (by which is meant Hungarian in Hungary) sociology into its phases, and these phases are all linked to the political and historical changes that have shaped the history of Hungary in the 20th century.
REVIEW: Elena Platon, Româna ca limbă străină
Authors: Ticărău Iulia-Maria
Published: February 2023

This article aims to review the recently published study Româna ca limbă străină (RLS): elemente de metadidactică by Elena Platon. Throughout her research, the author discusses, from an evolutionary point of view, starting from the year of the emergence of this discipline (1974), the practical foundation on which RLS was built and the lack of a theoretical one. This made the academic space reluctant regarding the field of RLS and consider it a discipline that lacks the features needed to be part of it. Elena Platon analyzes the connections that Romanian as a foreign language has with the other related disciplines and explains the specific concepts of both language didactics and RLS didactics. The study only highlights the fact that the field of RLS, even if it was born for economic reasons, is a branch that is arousing more and more interest in the academic field and that is why it is necessary to build the scientific foundation, even if almost 50 years have passed since its emergence.
