Analysis of Risk of Death due to COVID-19 in Cameroon
Authors: Youdom Solange Whegang , Tonnang Henri E. Z.
Published: March 2023

Background
Cameroon is battling against the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Although several control measures have been implemented, the epidemic continues to progress. This paper analyses the evolution of the pandemic in Cameroon and attempts to provide insight on the evolution of COVID-19 within the country’s population.

Methods
A susceptible-infected-recovered-dead (SIRD)-like model coupled with a discrete time-dependent Markov chain was applied to predict COVID-19 distribution and assess the risk of death. Two main assumptions were examined in a 10-state and 3-state Markov chain: i) a recovered person can get infected again; ii) the person will remain recovered. The COVID-19 data collected in Cameroon during the period of March 6 to July 30, 2020 were used in the analysis.

Results
COVID-19 epidemic showed several peaks. The reproductive number was 3.08 between May 18 and May 31; 2.75 between June 1 and June 25, and 2.84 between June 16 and June 24. The number of infected individuals ranged from 17632 to 26424 (June 1 to June 15), and 28100 to 36628 (June 16 to June 24). The month of January 2021 was estimated as the last epidemic peak. Under the assumption that a recovered person will get infected again with probability 0.15, 50000 iterations of the Markov chain (10 and 3- state) demonstrated that the death state was the most probable state. The estimated lethality rate was 0.44, 95%CI=0.10%-0.79%. Mean lethality rate assuming ii) was 0.10. Computation of transition probabilities from reported data revealed a significant increase in the number of active cases throughout July and August, 2020, with a mean lethality rate of 3% by September 2020.

Conclusion
Multiple approaches to data analysis is a fundamental step for managing and controlling COVID-19 in Cameroon. The rate of transmission of COVID-19 is growing fast because of insufficient implementation of public health measures. While the epidemic is spreading, assessment of major factors that contribute to COVID-19-associated mortality may provide the country’s public health system with strategies to reduce the burden of the disease. The model outputs present the threatening nature of the disease and its consequences. Considering the model outputs and taking concrete actions may enhance the implementation of current public health intervention strategies in Cameroon. Strict application of preventive measures, such as wearing masks and social distancing, could be reinforced before and after the opening of learning institutions (schools and universities) in the 2020/2021 calendar year and next.
Recurrent Gastrointestinal Pseudo-obstruction Because of Well-Differentiated Duodenal Neuroendocrine Tumor

Published: March 2023

A 56-year-old man presented with recurrent gastrointestinal obstruction. Computed tomography showed fluid-filled, distended stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Extensive workup including esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, magnetic resonance enterography, push enteroscopy, and video capsule enteroscopy showed no mechanical obstruction. Endoscopic ultrasound–guided biopsy of peripancreatic nodes detected on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography revealed a duodenal neuroendocrine tumor. The lesion showed intense uptake on gallium-68 DOTATOC positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan. The patient underwent surgical resection of the tumor with resolution of bowel obstruction events. He had elevated pancreatic polypeptide levels, which are known to delay gastric emptying and could explain his symptoms.

Published: March 2023

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is an infrequent site of breast cancer metastasis, but it often poses a diagnostic challenge when it occurs. The symptoms of GI metastases are often nonspecific, and the endoscopic manifestations are variable, requiring tissue biopsies for histologic examination. We report 2 cases of breast cancer metastasizing to the GI tract: a case of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive invasive ductal carcinoma that metastasized to the stomach, a rare location for this histologic subtype, and another case of invasive lobular cell carcinoma that metastasized to the colon with unusual findings of mucosal pallor and edema on colonoscopy.

Published: March 2023

Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia is a rare disorder that may result in protein-losing enteropathy. We report a 21-year-old man with malabsorption syndrome, an unintentional weight loss of 30 kg over 10 months, lymphocytopenia, and hepatic aminotransferase elevation. His diagnosis was established by a combination of enteroscopy, histopathology, and secondary etiology exclusion. Institution of parenteral nutrition, followed by a low-fat diet, medium-chain triglycerides, and octreotide, resulted in the resolution of his symptoms and laboratory abnormalities and led to weight gain. Aminotransferase abnormalities are an atypical finding in primary intestinal lymphangiectasia and were most likely due to nonalcohol steatohepatitis after rapid weight loss. Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia should be considered in patients with protein-losing enteropathy and lymphocytopenia.

Published: March 2023

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms, and liver PEComas are extremely rare. They are usually discovered incidentally, and diagnostic pitfalls are frequent owing to similar imaging characteristics to other liver neoplasms. We present a patient whose evaluation was consistent with a right-sided hepatocellular carcinoma for which right hepatectomy was performed. Based on the final histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry, a diagnosis of PEComa was made. Immunohistochemistry plays a crucial role in arriving at the diagnosis, and resection represents the standard of care. A long-term follow-up is recommended because the natural history of PEComas is unpredictable.

Published: March 2023

As atividades lúdicas no Ensino Fundamental tornam-se propiciadoras do desenvolvimento infantil e, pelas vivências escolares a partir dos estágios supervisionados, nota-se que o ensino, nesta etapa, tem sido conduzido por ações mecânicas e artificiais. Diante dessa inquietação, este estudo tem como objetivo enfatizar a relação entre alfabetização e ludicidade, apresentando uma reflexão das práticas alfabetizadoras lúdicas, e o lugar que estas ações ocupam na prática dos professores que lidam com a docência nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Destacou-se, por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica, em uma abordagem qualitativa, a relevância do lúdico como uma estratégia metodológica no processo de alfabetização. Posteriormente, estes fundamentos teóricos foram considerados para análise dos relatórios de Estágios obrigatórios do curso de Pedagogia. Os resultados obtidos afirmaram a hipótese inicial de que o ensino conduzido nesta fase, notoriamente, não abarca ações lúdicas em prol da aprendizagem do educando.
Moderate Islam And Its Influence on Religious Diversity in Indonesia
Authors: Syafieh Syafieh , Anzhaikan M.
Published: March 2023

This article aims to discuss the root of the discourse of religious moderation in various religious traditions in Indonesia. As a multicultural country with diverse ethnicities, races, religions, and cultures, religious tolerance is significant for maintaining religious harmony. Recently, the Indonesian government is greatly promoting and mainstreaming religious moderation programs to prevent any political tension and conflicts among religious groups. The government’s idea of religious moderation is seen as not accommodating all of the religious beliefs held by the Indonesian people. In this regard, this article examines how the language of religious moderation has evolved in each of various Indonesia’s religious traditions. Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Catholicism, Protestantism, and Confucianism are the official religions recognized by the state. Using discourse analysis, this study concludes that all the established religions in Indonesia essentially share the same notion of religious moderation, yet it is articulated in different terms.

Published: March 2023

The riverbank has a unique landscape and socio-cultural character of the community. The area is the transition of the innerland and river ecosystem. The ecological function is very important for balancing the both ecosystems. The Living activity of dwellers creates a socio-cultural bond to the river. This study plans the housing riverbank with a socio-ecological approach. The approach considers the sustainability of the ecosystem and social culture of the dwellers. The research was conducted in Palembang, a big city in Indonesia that has evolved in wetlands on the riverbanks. The current development eliminates the character of the physical and socio-cultural landscape. This study uses the Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) method which is part of the Multi-criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) method. MAUT can determine alternative planning through attribute assessment by predetermined objective criteria. The decision making is based on the assessment by experts from various fields. It shows the best alternative depends on the attribute level of the house type. The attribute value is very dominant compared to other attributes. Environmental attributes quite influential are the size of the buffer zone and the construction of riveredge wall. The best alternative result indicated that the planning should accommodate the activities of residents who interact closely with the sustainability of river ecosystems.
The Quintuple Canonization of 1622: Between the Renewal of the Making of Saints and Claims for Pontifical Monopoly
Authors: Renoux Christian
Published: March 2023

This article examines the particular place of the quintuple canonization of 1622 in the long history of papal canonization. While the papacy gradually imposed its control over the creation of new saints in the Middle Ages, in the Modern Era it faced a double challenge to its practice. On the one hand, Luther condemned the elevation to the altars in 1523 of the Saxon bishop Benno of Meissen, in which he saw the creation of a new idol. And, in fact, a long silence from the Roman Curia followed. On the other hand, when Sixtus V decided to canonize a new saint in 1588 in response to the insistent request of Philip II of Spain, the Roman Curia was confronted with strong pressure from the new orders to have their founder canonized in the context of a multiplication of cults of beati that was beyond its control. The quintuple canonization of 1622 was the triumph of these orders and their founder, but Urban VIII drew radical consequences in the years that followed. He decided to impose new rules of procedure that allowed Rome to extend its monopoly to the cult of the beati and to regain for a few decades the parsimony of medieval canonization.
War Saints: The Canonization of 1622
Authors: Hsia Ronnie Po-chia
Published: March 2023

The five new saints added to the feast days of the Catholic Church in 1622 occurred in the middle of two wars: the 30 Years’ War in Central Europe between Protestants and Catholics, and the resumption of the struggle by the Dutch to gain independence from Spain. Coming as the result of intense lobbying by different ecclesiastical and political interests, the canonization of 1622 provided an excellent window to observe the mentality of Counter-Reformation Europe. This is accomplished by a close reading of the reports of festivities and celebrations that took place in Rome, Prague, cities of Catholic Germany, in France and Lorraine, in Madrid, where the Spanish capital celebrated their four new national saints, and finally in Antwerp, near the frontlines in the Spanish Netherlands. In the uneven reception of the five saints, those of the Jesuits Ignatius and Xavier stood out, as models for Spanish military valor and global empire.
Framing Sainthood in 1622: Teresa of Ávila, Ignatius of Loyola, and Francis Xavier
Authors: Jones Pamela M.
Published: March 2023

Pope Gregory XV raised five holy persons to official sanctity in a grand ceremony in Saint Peter’s basilica in Rome on 12 March 1622. Three of the new saints were sixteenth-century Spanish contemporaries: the Discalced Carmelite Teresa of Ávila and the Jesuits Ignatius of Loyola and Francis Xavier. The saints were celebrated according to personas that were rooted in the framework of sanctity inherent to the processes for official holiness, that is, the official character of their deeds, virtues, and miracles. Setting aside miracles, this paper centers on Teresa’s deeds and virtues, which have been less well understood than those of her Jesuit counterparts. The nature of her holy image emerges from a highly selective comparison with the Jesuits’ deeds and virtues as presented in word and image in Rome in March 1622. On the basis of written and visual documents tied to Teresa’s processes and the canonization ceremony, I reinterpret two aspects of her image as promulgated in 1622: the way in which her active and contemplative lives were inextricably linked to her reform of the Carmelite Order; and the role and character of her virtues.
Conversion and Sanctity in Print: The Episode of Ignatius of Loyola and Isaac, the Roman Jew ca. 1600
Authors: Greenwood Jonathan E.
Published: March 2023

Roman engraver Francesco Villamena (ca. 1565–1624) produced a print in 1600 that illustrated the life and miracles of Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556), the founder of the Society of Jesus. It featured a conversion of a local Jew named Isaac described as the movement, possibly miraculously, of another’s heart by Ignatius. Villamena’s engraving, however, must be contrasted with lives of Ignatius written by Pedro de Ribadeneyra (1526–1611). A Jesuit of Jewish ancestry, Ribadeneyra’s accounts, like the Roman print, spoke of the conversion of Isaac. Its 1601 iteration, however, explicitly situated the event among the founder’s miracles. This article examines the place of persons of Jewish ancestry in conceptions of Early Modern sanctity. With this case study, I will compare the print cultures of Rome and Madrid as well as visual and written accounts of this conversion to help us better understand the role of religious minorities in the determination of Catholic sainthood.
Woher kam der Mann von Ahhiya?
Authors: Egetmeyer Markus
Published: March 2023

Seit einem Jahrhundert arbeitet man sich an der Ahhiyawa-Frage ab. Die Antworten bleiben vage und flüchten ins allgemein Historische. Das ist kein Wunder, denn die Frage ist falsch gestellt. Das war immer bekannt, wurde aber nie ernst genommen. Es geht überhaupt nicht um Ahhiyawa, sondern zunächst einmal nur darum, die Ausgangsform, nämlich den Ortsnamen Ahhiya, auf einer Karte zu lokalisieren. Die philologische Analyse der wenn auch spärlichen Belege für diesen legt es nahe, in Ahhiya den Namen einer Insel zu vermuten, die südlich von Lesbos vor der Küste Kleinasiens liegt. Die nächste größere Insel ist Chios. Diese Annahme von Ahhiya als ältere nichtgriechische Form der späteren griechischen Form Chios läßt sich dann sprachwissenschaftlich erhärten, indem das der Gleichung entgegenstehende anlautende a- den bekannten Beispielen angereiht wird, die einen luwischen Lautwandel zeigen, bei dem dieses unterdrückt wird. Erst nach dieser Identifizierung von Ahhiya als Insel Chios kann man sinnvoll über Ahhiyawa reden. Achäer und Ahhiyawa haben sprachlich nichts miteinander zu tun. Als Nebenergebnis ergibt sich noch, daß der Name Attarissiya eines Herrschers von Ahhiya sicher nicht ein ins Hethitische eingegliederter griechischer Atreus ist, sondern wohl umgekehrt ein ins Griechische eingegliederter nichtgriechischer Teiresias.
Un Phrygien sur l’Agora: redécouverte d’une inscription paléo-phrygienne
Authors: Réveilhac Florian
Published: March 2023

This article discusses a brief inscription incised on a cup found on the Athenian Agora and which has been published in 1976. This graffito appears to be an Old Phrygian inscription, the first known so far on this side of the Aegean Sea. It corresponds to a new personal name, whose stem could be identical to that of Phrygian place names attested in Greek sources. An etymological hypothesis is suggested about the stem, which could reveal the Phrygian name of the “goat”. The object thus incised in the Phrygian alphabet may have belonged to a metic or a Phrygian travelling to Athens.

defines the obliqueness of wave such that for θ′ = 0° and 90° we obtain the perpendicular propagating pure Bernstein wave and parallel propagating Langmuir wave, respectively. The graphical analysis of newly reported results is made under the numerically evaluated values and the previously reported results are also retained. The possible applications of present results are found in partially/arbitrary dense astrophysical quantum plasma e.g., in brown dwarfs as well as they have wide ranging potential applications in modern technology e.g., in semi-conductors.

Published: March 2023

The objective of this work was the construction and test of an automated germination chamber, capable to provide the proper ambiance to conduct germination tests. Thermoperiod and photoperiod were controlled by means of an Arduino microcontroller. Energy consumption, construction and operation costs were analysed and compared to a market available germination chamber. Four replications of germination tests using Eucalyptus grandis seeds, under 17.5 °C, 25.0 °C and 30.0 °C, air relative humidity higher than 90% and germination paper as substrate were conducted. The seeds attained average germination of 89.33 per replication, considering average seedlings. The results found were in-line to the document Rules for Seed Analysis. Economical evaluation indicate 62% higher operation costs for the alternative model, yet for financial analysis (taking into consideration equipment purchase costs), indicate similar costs (3% difference), what indicates that the alternative chamber would be a suitable choice for business with smaller demand in seed testing.

The influence of biaxial-in-plan strain on optoelectronic and thermoelectric characteristics of AgXTe2 (X: Ga, In) chalcopyrite type compound has been investigated using density function theory base on full potential linear augmented plane wave technique. The generalized Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof gradient approximation (PBEsol GGA) is used to optimize unit cell and the Tran-Blaha modified Becke-Johnson (TB-mBJ) approach is employed to improve the electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties. The effects of biaxial strains of the tensile (1%, 2%, 3%) and compression (-1%, -2%, -3%) have been calculated along with contribution of two cations (Ga and In). The calculated band gap of AgGaTe2 and AgInTe2 without strain is 1.17 and 1.13 eV that decreases with applied tensile strain and increases with compressive strain. Without strain maximum absorption is obtained at 1.3 eV and 1.1 eV AgGaTe2 and AgInTe2 respectively, however, tensile and compressive strain shows red and blue shift accordingly. The increase in flatness of valance band with compressive strain results in a large Seebeck coefficient due the large hole effective mass. This identifies AgGaTe2 as a possible efficient thermoelectric material. Consequently, the present study is very useful for developments of desired characteristics by applying strain for optoelectronic and thermoelectric devices.
Slobodni stih Tonka Maroevića
Authors: Dužević Andrino
Published: March 2023

Na temelju stihovno-teorijske literature analizira se slobodni stih Tonka Maroevića. Prvi dio rada sažeto prikazuje znanstvene opise slobodnoga stiha na kojima se temelji analiza slobodnoga stiha Tonka Maroevića. Središnji dio rada posvećen je analizi ritmičke, grafičke (strofičke) i eufonijske strukture Maroevićeva slobodnoga stiha. Analiza prikazuje koja metrička svojstva uzrokuju svojevrsnu ritmičku stegnutost. Točnije, prikazuje trenutke aritmičnosti stiha, kao i tijek njegova postupna oslobođenja od određenih metričkih konstanti koje su vidno, ali i čujno, opterećivale ritmičku strukturu pjesme. Posebna se pažnja posvećuje tipu slobodnoga stiha (duh metra u pozadini) kojem je vezani stih metametrička podloga. U zaključnome dijelu prikazuju se tipovi i podtipovi slobodnoga stiha u Maroevićevu pjesništvu koji su se iskristalizirali ovom analizom.
Generičke permutacije Šoljanove Romance o tri ljubavi
Authors: Gospić Županović Ana
Published: March 2023

Romanca o tri ljubavi (1976) zauzima istaknuto i povlašteno mjesto unutar dramskog opusa Antuna Šoljana, zahvaljujući i tomu što je u cijelosti napisana u stihu. Autorski podnaslovljena kao “sentimentalna farsa”, u književno-teorijskoj literaturi različito se poetički i generički određivala: kao poetska drama, postmoderna drama, neoromantički igrokaz, burleskna komedija i sl., ili kao farsa koja izmiče zakonitostima žanra. U radu se iz pozicija suvremene genologije ukazuje na problematičnost statičnog poimanja kategorije žanra te postavlja teza o mogućnosti teksta da participira u okviru više žanrova. Također, s obzirom na nedostatnost artikuliranijih generičkih istraživanja ove drame, ukazuje se na temeljne razlike u shvaćanju pojmova romanca i romansa te se ispituje kako drama funkcionira u kontekstu žanrovskih određenja i konvencija romanse.
Tumačenje kreativnosti jezika iz kartezijanske perspektive
Authors: Šamo Renata
Published: March 2023

Ukazujući na kreativnost kao ključno obilježje prirodnog jezika, Chomsky je neizravno obogatio svoju teoriju filozofskom dimenzijom u kojoj je vidljiv utjecaj nauka novovjekovnog racionalizma poznatog kao kartezijanizam (Cartesius, latinizirano Descartesovo ime), zbog čega je spomenuti mentalistički pravac znakovito nazvao kartezijanskom lingvistikom (engl. Cartesian Linguistics, CL). To je ujedno naziv njegova dubokoumnog eseja iz 1966. godine, odnosno poglavlja o povijesti racionalističke misli, u kojem najprije predstavlja upravo kreativnost kao jezičnu pojavnost, potom usporedno analizira dubinsku i površinsku strukturu jezika, također problematizira opis i tumačenje u lingvistici te konačno pojašnjava vlastito stajalište o usvajanju prvog jezika iz kartezijanske perspektive. Autorica u radu kratko analizira kontekst nastanka navedenog eseja polazeći od osnovnih spoznaja o (ino)jezičnom razvoju što ih je Chomsky rano zagovarao i tako snažno utjecao na daljnje (ne)nativističko tumačenje tog vrlo slojevitog procesa.

Studij kroatistike i Joanna Rapacka. O snažnome tragu njezina kritičkog mišljenja u nastavnoj praksi poljskih kroatista
Authors: Kaniecka Dominika
Published: March 2023

U tekstu se pokušava objasniti vidljiv utjecaj rada Joanne Rapacke na oblik današnje kroatistike u Poljskoj te koristi koje iz toga proizlaze, kako za studentice i studente tako i za akademski kadar. Upoznavanje s tekstovima Joanne Rapacke, suočavanje s njezinim kritičkim pristupom hrvatskim nacionalnim mitovima, važna je točka u nastavnome procesu, što se pokazuje na primjeru didaktičkoga iskustva autorice teksta na krakovskoj kroatistici. Od velike važnosti za razumijevanje toga pitanje jest i autoritet Joanne Rapacke u znanstvenim sredinama, stoga se razmatranje koristi od znanstveničine ostavštine upisuje i u širi kontekst poljske slavistike, pa se navode i sjećanja drugih na nju. Čini mi se da preispitivanje aktualnosti pogleda Joanne Rapacke na hrvatsku kulturu može biti važno danas i u hrvatskom i u poljskom javnom prostoru, kad se ponovno naglašava važnost nacionalnih tema i nacionalne kulture, što nerijetko otežava primjenjivanje kriterija objektivnosti u njihovu vrednovanju.
Predodžba nacionalnoga identiteta u Leksikonu hrvatskih tradicija Joanne Rapacke
Authors: Bašić Marijana , Baričević Sanja
Published: March 2023

Identitet je imaginacija i predodžba o tome tko smo i što smo. Pojmom kulturni identitet opisuje se autentičnost i jedinstvenost neke kulture, a na temelju kulturnih se osobitosti i vrijednosti određuje neka društvena zajednica odnosno utvrđuje pripadnost pojedinca ili društvene skupine određenoj kulturi. “Poznavati neku kulturu i njezin identitet”, ističe D. Oraić Tolić (2003: 453), “znači znati se služiti rječnikom njezinih kulturnih termina, prepoznavati nevidljive konotacije i narativne modele, znati slušati i pričati priče svojstvene nekom jeziku i kulturi, riječju – vladati imaginarijem njezinih stereotipa”. Leksikon hrvatskih tradicija (2002) Joanne Rapacke, izvorno objavljen na poljskome jeziku 1997. godine, obuhvaća 64 natuknice kojima “opisuje i objašnjava genezu najznačajnijih mitotvornih fenomena i simbola hrvatske povijesti, kulture i književnosti, onih fenomena koji su ispunjavali integracijsku i identifikacijsku funkciju u hrvatskoj etničkoj i nacionalnoj zajednici” (Fališevac 2002: 249). Promatrajući tradiciju kao “prenošenje znanja, spoznaja, vjerovanja, legendi, običaja, kulturnih vrijednosti itd. s naraštaja na naraštaj u zajednici, bilo usmenom ili pismenom predajom, odgojem i dr.; stalan i kreativan proces reinterpretacije kulturnoga nasljeđa” (VRHSJ 2015: 1567), u radu se raščlanjuju sastavnice hrvatskoga nacionalnog identiteta i konceptualne metafore ključne u njegovu razumijevanju, zastupljene u Leksikonu hrvatskih tradicija Joanne Rapacke.
O Leksikonu hrvatskih tradicija Joanne Rapacke
Authors: Coha Suzana
Published: March 2023

U radu se prikazuje teorijsko-metodološka oslonjenost Leksikona hrvatskih tradicija na kontekst poljske sociološke, historiografske, filozofske i filološke znanosti iz razdoblja od kraja 1960-ih godina do kraja 20. stoljeća. Ukazuje se na mogućnosti povezivanja teorijsko-metodološkoga okvira Leksikona s teorijama kolektivnoga pamćenja i s tzv. (post)modernističkim teorijama nacije i nacionalizma te se interpretira znakovitost njegova objavljivanja u izvorniku i u hrvatskome prijevodu neposredno poslije raspada Socijalističke Federativne Republike Jugoslavije, Domovinskoga rata i uspostave hrvatske suverenosti. Zaključuje se kako Leksikon hrvatskih tradicija potvrđuje da su puno intrigantnija i fundamentalnija od pitanja o rezu između modernosti i tradicije, ona o njihovu međudjelovanju; o tradicijskim uvjetovanjima modernizacije, te o modernizacijskim nasljedovanjima, preoblikovanjima ili generiranjima tradicije odnosno tradicija.
Srednji vijek ili renesansa? Rapacka o Maruliću
Authors: Bogdan Tomislav
Published: March 2023

Znamenita poljska slavistica i kroatistica Joanna Rapacka (1939–2000) objavila je tri studije o Marku Maruliću (1450–1524), naknadno ih objedinivši pod naslovom “Fragmenti o Maruliću”. Rapacka spominje Marulića na važnim mjestima i u nekoliko drugih radova, primjerice u člancima iz svoga Leksikona hrvatskih tradicija ili u sintetskim studijama o formiranju moderne hrvatske nacije i regionalizmu u predmodernoj hrvatskoj književnoj kulturi. Teze poljske slavistice o Maruliću vrijedi istaknuti i pomno razmotriti iz dvaju razloga: zbog toga što i dalje mogu biti relevantne za razumijevanje Marulićeva književnoga djela te zbog toga što u suvremenoj kroatistici nisu imale recepciju kakvu zaslužuju. Rapacka Marulića, a posebno vernakularni dio njegova opusa, čvrsto povezuje s poetikama evropskoga književnog srednjovjekovlja, dok se u hrvatskoj književnoj historiografiji u posljednjim desetljećima uložilo dosta napora u pokušaj da se Marulić “demedijevalizira”. Marulić je nesumnjivo poetički heterogen autor, na razmeđu srednjovjekovlja i renesanse, ali kada stvara na hrvatskome, u svojim zrelim godinama, njegova upućenost na srednjovjekovne književne tradicije postaje vrlo izraženom. Čitaju li se radovi Joanne Rapacke pažljivo, postaje jasno da je, prema njezinu mišljenju, Marulić prvi (i jedini) veliki autor hrvatske srednjovjekovne književnosti.
Prostorne kategorije u radovima Joanne Rapacke
Authors: Dyras Magdalena
Published: March 2023

U radovima Joanne Rapacke pitanja prostornosti zauzimaju povlašteno mjesto. Upravo je ona, prva među poljskim kroatistima, osobitu pozornost posvetila opisu i povijesti pojedinih regija. Znanstvenica je pokušavala je iščitati značenje regionalizma i njegov utjecaj na identitet i osjećaj pripadnosti zajednici. Ukazala je na značenje graničnih područja. Bavila se čitanjem grada Dubrovnika i silnicama koje oblikuju i uvjetuju njegovu kulturu. U svojim radovima ukazivala je na značenje čitanja vremenskih i prostornih kategorija.  Upravo spomenuti čovjekov odnos prema prostornim kategorijama tretirala je kao vrstu kulturne prakse. U svojim radovima uspješno je primijenila terminologiju koja je karakteristična za noviju kulturnu orijentaciju u književnim istraživanjima.

Uloga geografskog predtercijarnog obrazovanja u razvoju bioekonomije
Authors: Vuk Ružica , Vranković Biljana , Šiljković Željka
Published: March 2023

U radu se obrađuje inovativno gospodarstvo bioekonomija i uloga geografskog obrazovanja u njezinu razvoju. Svrha bioekonomije je razviti gospodarstva s „niskom razinom emisija u cilju razvoja primarnog sektora (poljoprivreda, ribarstvo, šumarstvo), sigurne i dostatne opskrbe hranom, potičući primjenu biomase u industriji, štiteći bioraznolikost i okoliš“ (Europska komisija, 2012.). Transformacija klasičnoga linearnog modela ekonomije u bioekonomiju zahvaća prijelaz s uporabe fosilnih izvora na bioobnovljive, kao i prijelaz s linearnog na kružno gospodarstvo. Ključnu ulogu za razvoj bioekonomije uz poduzetnike, vlast/politiku, znanstvene institucije, međunarodnu suradnju ima i formalno, neformalno i informalno obrazovanje svakog pojedinca involviranog u ovo područje gospodarstva. Primarni cilj ovoga rada je istaknuti ulogu geografskog obrazovanja u razvoju kružnoga gospodarstva (bioekonomije) kojemu teži Republika Hrvatska preko razvojnog smjera 3 „Zelena i digitalna tranzicija“ (Nacionalna razvojna strategija 2030, 2020.). Sekundarni ciljevi rada su analizirati osnovne teorijske značajke bioekonomije, strukturu zaposlenosti i strukturu ostvarenog prometa u sektorima bioekonomije u državama Europske unije s posebnim naglaskom na stanje u Republici Hrvatskoj. Rezultati rada pokazuju da je hrvatska bioekonomija tek u početnom ciklusu razvoja. U predmetnom kurikulumu Geografije za osnovne škole i gimnazije (2019.) značajan je broj odgojno-obrazovnih ishoda koji se odnose na izvore energije, klimu i klimatske promjene, ekosustave, bioraznolikost, razvoj pametnih gradova, a usvajanje tih ishoda pridonosi stjecanju kompetencija nužnih za razvoj novih pristupa inovativnijih gospodarstava. U radu su primijenjene kvantitativne i  kvalitativne metode rada. Analiza sadržaja kurikuluma, posebice razrade ishoda koji su u funkciji daljnjeg razvoja bioekonomije, temelj je za oblikovanje tema stručnog usavršavanja učitelja i nastavnika geografije kako bi inovativnije i učinkovitije vodili proces učenja i poučavanja tih sadržaja.
Creating a global identity and collapsing local identities – example of Premiership
Authors: Lončar Jelena , Špehar Ema
Published: March 2023

The subject of research and the purpose of this paper is to determine the effects of globalization on identity change within one of the most popular sports today, football. In order to avoid generalizations in the analysis, the English Premiership, one of the most famous football leagues, was chosen as a case study. The theoretical framework of the research is related to the identification of local changes under the influence of the global process, predominantly social and political. The time of the research covers the period from the creation of the Premiership, i.e. from 1992 until today. The research on selected globalization influences on the League’s development will try to clarify social changes resulting from the interaction of two main geographical segments - space and people. With the help of selected economic and financial indicators, the change of the local identity of the League, which was present in the past, into an increasingly pronounced global identity will be presented. In conclusion, it was found that the mentioned football league is an excellent example of the growing impact of the globalization process on sports, especially when it comes to world-famous football.
