,,Werther“ in Wien. : Joseph Ferdinand Kringsteiners kritische Lokalposse ,,Werthers Leiden“ auf dem Wiener Vorstadttheater
Authors: Antoine Annette
Published: April 2024

Abstract Die Werther-Wirkung war ein europaweites Phänomen und erfasste auch Österreich. Die Bedingungen insbesondere der Theaterlandschaft in Wien ergaben eine spezifische Aufnahme, die im Beitrag anhand eines konkreten Beispiels nachgezeichnet werden soll
– der Lokalparodie Werthers Leiden von Joseph Ferdinand Kringsteiner, Erfolgsstück am Theater in der Leopoldstadt bis zu Nestroys Zeiten. Neben possenhaften Elementen zeigen sich auch Querverbindungen zur aufklärerisch-satirischen Tradition, inklusive Sozialkritik.The
impact of Werther was a Europe-wide phenomenon and also affected Austria. The conditions of the theatrical landscape in Vienna in particular resulted in a specific recording, which will be traced in the article on the basis of a concrete example – the local parody Werthers
Leiden by Joseph Ferdinand Kringsteiner, a successful play at the Theater in der Leopoldstadt up to Nestroy’s time. In addition to farcical elements, there are also cross-connections to the satirical tradition of the enlightenment, including social criticism.
,,Durch Stoff und Stimmung […] gerechtfertigt“. : Goethes ,,Werther“ in der Homosexuellenbewegung um 1900
Authors: Strohschneider Moritz
Published: April 2024

Abstract Der Beitrag untersucht den Roman Der neue Werther (1903) des pseudonymen Autors Narkissos. Es handelt sich um das fiktionale Tagebuch eines jungen Studenten, der einen Kommilitonen liebt und sich nach dem Scheitern der Beziehung erschießt. Der Aufsatz
zeigt, wie der Roman Goethes Werther als literarisches Modell eines paradigmatischen Außenseiters rezipiert. Auf diese Weise kann er positiv von einer homosexuellen Liebe erzählen, die zu seiner Zeit juristisch sanktioniert und gesellschaftlich tabuisiert war.This article
examines the novel Der neue Werther (1903) by the pseudonymous author Narkissos. It is the fictional diary of a young student who loves a fellow male student and shoots himself after the relationship fails. The essay shows how the novel takes Goethe’s Werther as a literary
model of the paradigmatic outsider. In this way, it is able to give a positive account of homosexual love, which was legally sanctioned and socially taboo at the time.
,,Die Leiden des jungen Werthers“ in ihren Verfilmungen
Authors: Reimers Timm
Published: April 2024

Abstract Der Beitrag untersucht die vielfältigen filmischen Adaptionen von Goethes Die Leiden des jungen Werthers. Max Ophüls Le roman de Werther (FR 1938) und Egon Günthers Die Leiden des jungen Werthers (DDR 1976) etwa zeigen auf je charakteristische
Weise die Anverwandlung des Stoffes im französischen Exil bzw. im staatlichen Produktionssystem der DDR. Alle Verfilmungen entwickeln nicht nur eine jeweils eigenständige Perspektive auf Goethes Text, sondern spiegeln auch die filmästhetischen Vorlieben und politischen Problemlagen
ihrer Zeit wider.This article examines the diverse cinematic adaptations of Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther. Max Ophüls’ Le roman de Werther (FR 1938) and Egon Günther’s Die Leiden des jungen Werthers (GDR 1976), for example, each
show in a characteristic way how the material was adapted in French exile and in the state production system of the GDR. All of the films not only develop an independent perspective on Goethe’s text, but also reflect the film-aesthetic preferences and political problems of their time.
,,Werthers“ Medien
Authors: Tautz Birgit
Published: April 2024

Abstract Der Aufsatz widmet sich der Dualität von ,,Medium/medial“ in Die Leiden des jungen Werther, als Form/Materialität einerseits und Vermittlung zwischen Leser:in und Welt andererseits. Werther ist voll von Medien (z.B. Objekten, Personen,
Briefen), verweist aber auch auf den Mediencharakter (die Vermittlerrolle) moderner Literatur. Tatsächlich bewegt er sich im Spannungsfeld von Verlangen (des literarischen Subjekts) nach Unmittelbarkeit und der Unmöglichkeit, diese darzustellen. Die zweite Fassung des Romans vermittelt
so Intention und ,,korrekte“ Lesart der ersten. Der Aufsatz schließt mit einer Betrachtung des Romans in den Digital Humanities, die als ,,neues Medium“ die Dualität im ursprünglichen Sinne auflösen.The essay explores the duality of media/mediality
in The Sorrows of Young Werther, as form/materiality on the one hand and mediation between reader and world on the other. Werther is full of media (e.g., objects, people, letters). While the novel refers to the media character (the mediating role) of modern literature, it exposes
the tension between the quest (of the literary subject) for immediacy and the impossibility of representing it. The second version of the novel thus conveys intention and “correct” reading of the first. The essay concludes with a consideration of the novel in DH which, as a “new
medium,” resolve the conceptual duality of form and mediation.

Effects of Family Culture and Marital Decisions of the Business Owners on Access to Financing of Very Small Businesses
Authors: Wirkom Stanley Kongnyuy , Jumbo Urie Eleazar , Kueda Berthelo Wamba
Published: April 2024

Purpose: This study seeks to examine the effects of family culture (presence during family meetings, assistance in important family events, and strong family bonds) as well as marital decisions (mutual participation, joint savings decisions, and joint ventures) on access to financing of very small businesses in the North West Region of Cameroon.
Methods: The study used a series of exogenous and control variables adapted from the model of Gikonyo, Agwata, & Anyango (2011) who proposed a strategic model for quantitative research. Primary data were collected through convenient sampling from 293 very small business owners in each divisional headquarters of the North West Region of Cameroon. We used the multiple correspondence analysis to construct indexes for family culture, marital decisions as well as access to financing of very small businesses. The hypotheses of the study were then tested using the ordinary least square estimation technique.
Results: The results obtained showed in aggregate, a positive and significant effect of family culture and marital decisions on access to financing. More precisely, the coefficients of presence during family meetings, assistance in important family events as well as strong family bonds are positive. These results were statistically significant at 1% level.
Implications: This study has significant practical implications on the financial health of very small businesses in the context of developing countries like Cameroon in general and the North West Region of Cameroon in particular plagued by the crisis and COVID-19. The study therefore concluded that if very small business owners can improve on the respect of family cultures and can jointly decide on their financial actions with their spouses, they will have better access to financing, especially in developing countries like Cameroon and more particularly in the North West Region of the country.
The Rise and Fall of the Popular Front of Moldova: The Activities of Local Branches of the Popular Front of Moldova from 1989 to 1992
Authors: Harrington Keith
Published: April 2024

The Popular Front of Moldova (PFM) was a sociopolitical movement in the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic that spearheaded several initiatives that helped dismantle Soviet power in Moldova. However, the group’s pan-Romanian position created deep divisions within Moldovan society. Drawing on extensive archival research, this article explores how local branches of the PFM, officially known as coordination committees, sought to reshape local politics between 1989–1992. I examine the composition of these coordination committees, their policy initiatives, and their relationship with local authorities, which varied according to geographic and demographic factors. I argue that the group’s hard-line position eventually caused it to lose support across Moldova, including in regions where the PFM had initially been immensely popular.

This paper describes two datasets: species occurrences, which were determined by environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding and their associated DNA sequences, originating from a research project which was carried out along the Houdong River (猴洞坑), Jiaoxi Township, Yilan, Taiwan. The Houdong River begins at an elevation of 860 m and flows for approximately 9 km before it empties into the Pacific Ocean. Meandering through mountains, hills, plains and alluvial valleys, this short river system is representative of the fluvial systems in Taiwan. The primary objective of this study was to determine eukaryotic species occurrences in the riverine ecosystem through the use of the eDNA analysis. The second goal was, based on the current dataset, to establish a metabarcoding eDNA data template that will be useful and replicable for all users, particularly the Taiwan community. The species occurrence data are accessible at the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) portal and its associated DNA sequences have been deposited in the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) at EMBL-EBI, respectively. A total of 12 water samples from the study yielded an average of 1.5 million reads. The subsequent species identification from the collected samples resulted in the classification of 432 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) out of a total of 2,734. Furthermore, a total of 1,356 occurrences with taxon matches in GBIF were documented (excluding 4,941 incertae sedis, accessed 05-12-2023). These data will be of substantial importance for future species and habitat monitoring within the short river, such as assessment of biodiversity patterns across different elevations, zonations and time periods and its correlation to water quality, land uses and anthropogenic activities. Further, these datasets will be of importance for regional ecological studies, in particular the freshwater ecosystem and its status in the current global change scenarios.

The datasets are the first species diversity description of the Houdong River system using either eDNA or traditional monitoring processes.

La « Classe 22 » : une jeunesse socialiste et marxiste face aux années 1930
Authors: Fourcaut Matteo
Published: April 2024

Une revue socialiste méconnue, Révolte (1931-1934), donne à voir l’expression de « l’esprit des années trente » dans une SFIO marquée par la sortie de guerre et la défaite de Tours. Au sein de cette petite tribune parisienne, un groupe de jeunes militants cherche à rénover la doctrine socialiste, « chose vieille, trop connue », et à redresser la « vieille maison » pour qu’elle puisse conquérir les masses nouvelles et assumer enfin ses responsabilités en prenant le pouvoir. Cette « Classe 22 », génération tout à la fois effrayée et fascinée par la modernité de l’après-guerre, élabore un discours et une pensée propres et singuliers, qui ne trouvent que peu d’échos dans la gauche française. Étouffée par un Parti qui cherche à maintenir coûte que coûte l’unité d’une famille socialiste fragile, puis invisibilisée par le Front populaire qui est le triomphe de la génération suivante, la Classe 22 échoue à exister. Cette génération entravée donne tout de même à voir la manière dont le phénomène de « l’esprit des années trente » a infusé dans le socialisme français.

Bénin : Suicide en Afrique Sub-Saharienne : étude descriptive à Cobly (Nord Bénin) sur une période de 5 ans
Authors: Tognon Tchegnonsi Francis , Djidonou Anselme , Biaou Chabi Alphonse , Kpatindé F , Gandaho Prosper , Charlier Philippe
Published: April 2024

Introduction : chaque année, dans le monde, on estime que ce sont près d’un million de personnes qui mettent fin à leurs jours, soit l’équivalent d’un suicide toutes les 40 secondes. Cependant, en Afrique sub-saharienne, pour des raisons culturelles et géopolitiques, ce phénomène est mal décrit et mal connu. Pour mesurer l’ampleur de ce phénomène, nous avons mené une étude rétrospective sur une période de 5 ans dans une communauté rurale du Nord Bénin. Méthode : il s’agit d’une étude rétrospective menée dans les différents villages de la commune de Cobly du 2 janvier 2013 au 2 avril 2017. Les données ont été recueillies dans les dossiers de la Brigade de Gendarmerie, de la police, des centres de santé et de la mairie. Elles ont été complétées par les données d’une autopsie verbale (ou « autopsie psychologique »). Résultats : au terme de l’étude, 52 cas ont été enregistrés soit en moyenne, 10 suicides par an. L’âge moyen des suicidés était de 36 ans ± 11,8 avec des extrêmes de 18 à 70 ans. La tranche d’âge la plus représentée était celle de 20 à 30 ans. Les hommes étaient majoritaires à 69,2 % et à 67,3 % cultivateurs. Parmi les suicidés, 75 % étaient mariés. Le taux moyen de mortalité par suicide sur cette période était de 14,9 par 100 000 habitants. Sur les 52 suicidés, 8 (15,4 %) avaient laissé une lettre dans laquelle figurent les causes qui les ont poussés au suicide : maladie (62,5 %), pauvreté (25 %), mariage forcé (12,5 %). Selon l’autopsie psychologique, les causes suivantes ont été relevées : pauvreté (32,7 %), conflits familiaux (26,9 %), mariage forcé (15,8 %), troubles mentaux (5,8 %), maladie incurable (3,9 %) et cause inconnue (15,4 %). Conclusion : Le suicide au Bénin est souvent minimisé et négligé. Sa prévalence est probablement sous-estimée du fait des obstacles socio-culturels et religieux. Une étude à l’échelle nationale serait nécessaire pour mesurer l’ampleur du phénomène, comme dans les autres pays d’Afrique sub-saharienne.
Côte d’Ivoire : Performances annuelles, perception de compétence et performances au baccalauréat des élèves de l’enseignement général secondaire ivoirien
Authors: Djé Bi Tchan Guillaume
Published: April 2024

La présente étude vise à analyser la relation entre les performances de fin d’année des élèves de Terminale, leur perception de compétence et leurs résultats au bac. 239 candidats officiels au Bac, âgés de 18-22 ans, y ont participé. Leurs performances annuelles ont été obtenues à partir de leurs livrets scolaires. Leurs perceptions de compétence ont été mesurées à d’une échelle d’auto-évaluation, à passation collective. Les relevés de notes au bac nous ont servi à obtenir les performances au Bac. Les résultats montrent qu’il n’y a pas de corrélation entre les performances annuelles et les perceptions de compétence. La corrélation entre les perceptions de compétence et les performances au Bac n’est pas significative non plus. Par contre, nous notons une corrélation significative entre les performances au bac et les performances annuelles. En contrôlant cette dernière variable, il apparait une corrélation négative significative entre les deux autres. Ces résultats, qui confirment nos prévisions, ne semblent pas corroborer la théorie de l’efficacité personnelle perçue de Bandura (2003). Les performances annuelles des élèves ne paraissent pas jouer le rôle de motivateur cognitif anticipatoire pour les épreuves du bac.
CCkEL: Compensation-based correlated k-labelsets for classifying imbalanced multi-label data
Authors: Xiao Qianpeng , Shao Changbin , Xu Sen , Yang Xibei , Yu Hualong
Published: April 2024

Imbalanced data distribution and label correlation are two intrinsic characteristics of multi-label data. This occurs because in this type of data, instances associated with certain labels may be sparse, and some labels may be associated with others, posing a challenge for traditional machine learning techniques. To simultaneously adapt imbalanced data distribution and label correlation, this study proposed a novel algorithm called compensation-based correlated k-labelsets (CCkEL). First, for each label, the CCkEL selects the k-1 strongest correlated labels in the label space to constitute multiple correlated k-labelsets; this improves its efficiency in comparison with the random k-labelsets (RAkEL) algorithm. Then, the CCkEL transforms each k-labelset into a multiclass issue. Finally, it uses a fast decision output compensation strategy to address class imbalance in the decoded multi-label decision space. We compared the performance of the proposed CCkEL algorithm with that of multiple popular multi-label imbalance learning algorithms on 10 benchmark multi-label datasets, and the results show its effectiveness and superiority.
Epidemiology of multi-drug resistant Tuberculosis in the western region of Kenya
Authors: Lugonzo George O , Njeru Ezekiel M. , Songock William , Okumu Albert A. , Ndombi Eric M.
Published: April 2024

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) (MDR-TB), or TB that is simultaneously resistant to both isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF), is a barrier to successful TB control and treatment. Stratified data on MDR-TB, particularly in the high-burden western Kenya region, remain unknown. This data is important to monitor the efficacy of TB control and treatment efforts. Herein, we determined the molecular epidemiology of drug-resistant TB and associated risk factors in western Kenya. This was a non-experimental, population-based, cross-sectional study conducted between January and August 2018. Morning sputum samples of individuals suspected of pulmonary TB were collected, processed, and screened for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and drug resistance using line probe assay (LPA) and Mycobacterium growth indicator tubes (MGIT) culture. MGIT-positive samples were cultured on brain heart infusion (BHII) agar media, and the presence of Mtb was validated using Immunochromatographic assay (ICA). Drug sensitivity was performed on MGIT and ICA-positive but BHI-negative samples. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Of the 622 Mtb isolates, 536 (86.2%) were susceptible to RIF and INH. The rest, 86 (13.83%), were resistant to either drugs or both. A two-sample proportional equality test revealed that the MDR-TB prevalence in western Kenya (5%) did not vary significantly from the global MDR-TB estimate (3.9%) (P = 0.196). Men comprised the majority of susceptible and resistant TB (75.9% and 77.4%%, respectively). Also, compared with healthy individuals, the prevalence of HIV was significantly higher in MDR-TB patients (35.9% vs 5.6%). Finally, TB prevalence was highest in individuals aged 25–44 years, who accounted for 58.4% of the total TB cases. Evidently, the prevalence of MDRTB in western Kenya is high. Particular attention should be paid to men, young adults, and those with HIV, who bear the greatest burden of resistant TB. Overall, there is a need to refine TB control and treatment programs in the region to yield better outcomes.

Authors: Sharma Suruchi , Jindal Priya
Published: April 2024

The non-fungible token (NFT) market has indeed expanded dramatically during the past few years. The way we see and interact with digital assets—such as music, artwork, collectibles, and gaming items—is being transformed by non-fungible tokens. The distinctive IDs of these tokens are based on blockchain technology and may be connected to digital or virtual assets. All recognized properties can be freely traded using NFTs, which serve as a distinct price and authenticity guarantee for digital commodities. The difficulties in this developing sector can be overcome, even though the user experience is still clumsy and regulation has not yet been harmonized. NFTs offer the perfect mix of skills to rethink how businesses interact with their customers, including through loyalty and rewards programs as well as other innovative methods. This chapter makes an effort to critically analyze the benefits and drawbacks of the global NFT ecosystem as well as the various ways that modern marketers might use NFT to improve customer engagement in the digital era.

NFTs in Marketing
Authors: Ahlawat Rajneesh , Ahlawat Preeti , Tanwar Renu
Published: April 2024

Tokenized assets that cannot be exchanged with one another are referred to as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Tokens are differentiated from one another using a one-of-a-kind identifying number and the metadata that comes along with them. NFTs can be purchased, sold, and traded for fiat currency, digital currency, and other NFTs, all of which depend on their current value on the market and the expectations of their owners. The crucial distinction between cryptocurrencies and other tokens, however, is that fungible cryptocurrencies on the identical blockchain can be freely exchanged for one another. Even though two NFTs on the same blockchain may have an identical outward appearance, they cannot be traded for one another. This study aims to investigate the numerous dangers, opportunities, and moral dilemmas posed by NFTs in marketing. Therefore, at the end of this chapter, the reader will acquire a comprehensive knowledge of NFTs in marketing. In addition, you will have a solid understanding of the risks, rewards, and ethical considerations involved in NFTs in marketing.
Ensinar a esquecer – ensino de história e extrema direita
Authors: Saraiva Karla , Seffner Fernando
Published: April 2024

O artigo visa a analisar como a extrema direita vem buscando transformar o ensino de história, deslocando-o da historiografia academicamente aceita para narrativas gloriosas no formato de um romance nacional (Citron, 2017). A investigação apoia-se em um quadro teórico construído com a contribuição de diversos autores, com destaque para Cesarino (2022), Nunes (2022), Pelbart (2019), Traverso (2021), Stanley (2020). Após apresentar um panorama da ascensão da extrema direita no Brasil e no mundo, analisa-se documentos da extrema direita francesa e estadunidense que propõem mudanças no ensino de história. A seguir, discutimos as produções da Brasil Paralelo na forma de história pública e tensionamos essa versão a partir de um estudo etnográfico da cultura escolar. O artigo mostra aproximações entre as formas historiográficas e métodos de divulgação das propostas pela extrema direita nos três países, mas também indica alguns afastamentos.

Published: April 2024

Este estudo visa aprofundar a reflexão acerca de temas como: a ação empreendedora, e o capital social. Pois, o que se aponta na prática sobre a ação de empreender (como apresentado nos estudos do SEBRAE-PR), é que sem uma rede de contatos e sem capital social dificilmente os empreendedores obtêm sucesso e conseqüentemente torna-se difícil alcançar o desenvolvimento local. Desta forma, o estudo tem como objetivo principal pesquisar o quanto o capital social e a ação empreendedora são importantes para o desenvolvimento local. Para isso, a pesquisa se utiliza de uma revisão na literatura, sobre tais temas. Assim capital social destaca se como fator de confiança, comprometimento, cooperação para um objetivo mútuo, os resultados quais são atingidos por uma sociedade organizada de forma democrática e participativa a do ponto de vista cívico, que são fatores cruciais ao desenvolvimento do empreendedorismo local.

Published: April 2024

O mercado capitalista impõe suas regras, inclusive para as organizações do terceiro setor. Na busca pelo equilíbrio entre a tão necessária profissionalização da gestão dessas organizações, e a continuidade de seu importante papel na busca pelo lucro social, torna-se imprescindível à observação dos aspectos culturais e das características próprias, a fim de se conseguir instrumentos apropriados à sua gestão e identidade. Essa pesquisa descritiva, com análise predominantemente qualitativa, busca explorar um pouco cada uma dessas características. Para isso, além do levantamento teórico, foi realizada uma análise em uma entidade filantrópica do terceiro setor na cidade de Londrina, Estado do Paraná. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstraram que apesar das dificuldades em sua gestão como a não profissionalização do diretor da instituição, da concentração de tarefas sobre o profissional do financeiro, da escassez de recursos e da pouca utilização de instrumentos administrativos e financeiros, a instituição continua cumprindo seu papel social.

Authors: Herath Deshani , Kasturiratne Anuradhani
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Engaging in regular exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle has shown an array of health benefits for many decades. Building confidence in maintaining an exercise routine is e ssential for success. To support individuals interested in exercise, the availability of appropriate measurement tools is vital.  Bandura's Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESE) is an 18-item brief measure that assesses confidence in exercising regularly and is a valuable tool for measuring exercise beliefs. Objectives: To translate and adapt the Banduras ESE scale into Sinhala language and examine its psychometric properties Methods: Data were collected from 225 women who were aged ≥ 18 years and had an interest in or a reason to watch their weight, in Panadura Medical Officer Health (MOH) Area, Sri Lanka.  They were recruited using a purposive sampling method. Standard forward-backward translation was performed to translate  the English version of ESE. The construct validity was tested using exploratory factor analysis. Reliability of the scale was determined by Cronbach’s alpha. Data were analysed using SPSS version 22.0. Results: Through exploratory factor analysis, 18-item ESE scale sho wed three factors with eigenvalues ranging from 1.392 to 9.409. The three-factor model explained 70.59% of total variance of the model. All the items in the scale were retained. The reliability of internal consistency, as assessed by Cronbach’s alpha, indicated interpersonal, competing and internal sub factors as 0.92, 0.91 and 0.89 respectively, which were above the thr eshold level of 0.7. Conclusions & Recommendations: The Sinhala translation of ESE  is a reliable and valid scale to assess the level of self-efficacy for exercise among Sinhala-speaking adult women in Sri Lanka.
Non-classical solutions of the $p$-Laplace equation
Authors: Colombo Maria , Tione Riccardo
Published: April 2024

In this paper we settle Iwaniec and Sbordone’s 1994 conjecture concerning very weak solutions to the

p

-Laplace equation. Namely, on the one hand we show that distributional solutions of the

p

-Laplace equation in

W^{1,r}

for

p \neq 2

and

r>\max\,\{ 1,p-1\}

are classical weak solutions if their weak derivatives belong to certain cones. On the other hand, we construct via convex integration non-energetic distributional solutions if this cone condition is not met, thus disproving Iwaniec and Sbordone’s conjecture in general.
Naturality and functoriality in involutive Heegaard Floer homology
Authors: Hendricks Kristen , Hom Jennifer , Stoffregen Matthew , Zemke Ian
Published: April 2024

We prove first-order naturality of involutive Heegaard Floer homology, and furthermore, construct well-defined maps on involutive Heegaard Floer homology associated to cobordisms between three-manifolds. We also prove analogous naturality and functoriality results for involutive Floer theory for knots and links. The proof relies on the doubling model for the involution, as well as several variations.
