Особенности индивидуализации ответственности несовершеннолетних, совершивших преступление
Authors: И.С. Онищенко , А.Л. Санташов
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматриваются проблемы индивидуализации ответственности несовершеннолетних правонарушителей. По мнению авторов, выбор оптимальной уголовно-правовой меры несовершеннолетнему, совершившему преступление, является одним из факторов, определяющих достижение целей предупреждения преступлений и исправления осужденного, наравне с фактором успешной реализации избранной меры, то есть эффективности государственного реагирования. Нормативная база, регламентирующая определение такой меры, в настоящее время разработана неполно, содержит ряд пробелов. Изучение представленных материалов и выбор меры осуществляются судом по собственному усмотрению, хотя потребность в комплексном анализе всех обстоятельств соответствующим специалистом очевидна.

The article deals with the problems of individualization of the responsibility of juvenile offenders. According to the authors, the choice of the optimal criminal law measure for a minor who has committed a crime is one of the factors determining the achievement of the goals of crime prevention and correction of the convicted person, along with the factor of successful implementation of the chosen measure, that is, the effectiveness of the state response. The regulatory framework governing the definition of such a measure is currently incomplete and contains a number of gaps. The study of the submitted materials and the choice of measures are carried out by the court at its own discretion, although the need for a comprehensive analysis of all circumstances by the appropriate specialist is obvious.

Определение подходов к формированию направлений развития законодательства в целях его адаптации к формирующейся цифровой экономике должно опираться на понимание тех закономерностей трансформации правового пространства, которые непосредственно связаны с развитием цифровых технологий и их внедрением в экономическую сферу.

The article reveals the features of the development of legislation in the digital environment. Promising areas of legal development in the context of the transition to a new technological order are shown. The definition of approaches to the formation of directions for the development of legislation in order to adapt it to the emerging digital economy should be based on an understanding of those patterns of transformation of the legal space that are directly related to the development of digital technologies and their implementation in the economic sphere
What do we know about mental health of medical personnel? A systematic review
Authors: Aprilia Eka Dian , Adam Muhammad , Zulkarnain Zulkarnain , Mawarpury Marty
Published: November 2024

Medical personnel is a profession with a high workload. High work demands can lead to a decline in physical and emotional health. An in-depth understanding of the impact of workload on health, especially mental health, is crucial to implementing measures for their well-being. This literature review aims to gather and compare available information to produce an apparent picture of the mental health of medical personnel and influencing factors. A comprehensive search was conducted utilizing a variety of electronic databases, including Scopus, Science Direct, Springer Link, ProQuest, EBSCO, MED-LINE, and Google Scholar. The literature search focused on papers assessed with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) methodology. We identified 16 studies that reported the criteria for in-depth analysis. The study concluded that overburdened medical personnel are prone to burnout, which in turn has the potential to lead to mental health problems. Common disorders are burnout, depression, anxiety, and abnormal stress. Further research sourced from internal individuals needs to be done so that it is expected to be more robust and consistent, considering that medical personnel are very likely to work in more than one institution during the process.

Published: November 2024

The study discusses the influence of emotional connection on entrepreneurs’ spending decisions. The study suggests that entrepreneurs may prioritize buying items that align with their values and goals; and that this emotional connection can be a significant factor in their spending decisions. The study also explores the role of heuristic behaviour as a moderator in this process. The field experiment is used to analyse the mediating effect of heuristics (behaviour factor) between emotion (neuro function) and spending decisions among entrepreneurs registered with “Pusat Usahawan MARA” (PUSMA) Kelantan. The data were analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and general linear regression of multi-categorical factors. It found that heuristic behaviour mediates the effect of emotion on spending decisions in partial mediation. It also highlights the importance of understanding the emotional factors that influence entrepreneurs’ spending decisions and suggests that these factors may be more significant than previously thought. This study provides a useful reference for future researchers interested in exploring the relationship between emotional connection and spending decisions among entrepreneurs. It also provides a valuable contribution to the literature on entrepreneurship and decision-making and offers insights that may be useful for entrepreneurs and policymakers alike. Further research needs to be explored by testing the heuristics behaviour as a moderator to examine the emotional connection that can influence the entrepreneurs spending decisions.

Published: November 2024

Tuberculosis is a curable infectious disease which can simulate in its peritoneal
location a malignant tumor of the ovary, especially in tuberculosis endemic countries.
The authors report a case of pseudo-tumoral peritoneal tuberculosis in a 42-year-old
patient in whom the diagnosis of ovarian cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis had
been suspected. Exploratory laparotomy and histological examination confirmed the
diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis. Evolution was favorable under anti-tuberculosis
treatment.
Fortuitous Discovery of a Heterozygous Hemoglobin S Disorder Associated with Hemoglobin G-Philadelphia S/G. A Case Report
Authors: KHECHIBA Ahmed , KENZAOUI Nawel , ZAGOUG Bouchra , BENALLAL Khadidja
Published: November 2024

The coexistence of two abnormal alpha and beta hemoglobin variants in the same
individual is a rare and sparsely documented situation. We report the case of a diabetic
child of Algerian origin, , followed in the pediatric department for insulin-dependent
diabetes. During a routine HbA1c check, an abnormal chromatographic profile was
observed. Capillary electrophoresis of hemoglobin was performed on the patient as
well as on all family members. After observing an abnormal HbA1c profile, capillary
hemoglobin electrophoresis was performed on the patient and all family members. The
results revealed that the patient carries a combination of two abnormal hemoglobin
variants, one of which is a beta variant likely corresponding to hemoglobin S and the
other is an alpha variant likely corresponding to hemoglobin G-Philadelphia [S/G
Philadelphia]. The patient is a member of a family composed of a mother with sickle
cell trait [A/S], a father with an alpha variant of the G-Philadelphia type, and two
children, one of whom is an infant carrying the G-Philadelphia variant. It is crucial to
emphasize that all these members remained unrecognized for several years. This
observation is explained by the asymptomatic nature and the absence of
hematological consequences, even in the presence of a hybrid hemoglobin S/G, which
had no impact on the clinical course of sickle cell disease. Therefore, it is important to
highlight the significance of a systematic screening program for hemoglobinopathies
to prevent the emergence of clinically severe forms.
Scorpion venom allergies. Report of three cases
Authors: ABABSA MOUAKI Abdelhak , OUNISSI Ismahan , OUALALOU Fatima Zohra , LAALAYMIA Youcef , GUEDJATI Mohammed Ridha
Published: November 2024

Scorpion envenomations are widespread in many countries around the world. In
Algeria, Androctonus australis hector (Aah) and Buthus occitanus tunetanus (Bot) are
the cause of the greatest number of envenomations by scorpions and are responsible
for serious, even fatal, accidents in humans.
Scorpion venoms are rich in lethal
toxins causing significant physio-pathological actions that induce multi-factorial
dysfunctions. These concern almost all vital systems in humans whose vital prognosis
can be compromised. As with other insects, scorpion stings can cause allergic
reactions, incorrectly attributed to neurotoxins from the venom. Hypersensitivity
reactions to scorpion venom represent one of the major problems in the science of
scorpion envenomation. In this article we report the observations of three cases of
allergic reactions following scorpion envenomations, including a case of severe acute
asthma, and a case of generalized urticaria and a case of cardiac death.
CIDADE, AMBIENTE E INJUSTIÇA: O PAPEL DO PLANEJAMENTO URBANO NA QUALIDADE AMBIENTAL
Authors: Rodrigues de Oliveira Costa Húrbio
Published: November 2024

A relação entre a produção das cidades e sua organização a partir das características do sítio urbano, demonstraram ao longo da história da humanidade um vínculo relativamente próximo. Na medida em que as cidades se expandem, novos compartimentos do relevo são inseridos nessa realidade urbana, transformando a primeira natureza numa segunda que se adeque aos anseios de uma sociedade dividida em classes. Objetivando compreender o papel do planejamento urbano na produção das cidades e manutenção da qualidade ambiental, o estudo visa ainda associar a apropriação e ocupação das formas do relevo à mercantilização e distribuição desigual de recursos naturais e problemas ambientais. A partir das discussões teóricas e conceituais acerca da produção de cidades, planejamento urbano e qualidade ambiental, compreendemos que a sociedade dividida em classes se materializa no espaço urbano de modo a perpetuar o capitalismo, evidenciando a injustiça ambiental, consistindo na má distribuição do acesso a ambientes de qualidade e responsabilização equivocada pela ocorrência de desastres ambientais.

80 ANOS DE HABITAÇÃO SOCIAL EM SANTOS - SP, 1940 -2020: CONFLITOS ENTRE HABITAÇÃO POPULAR E PATRIMÔNIO HISTÓRICO
Authors: Eskinazi Bruna Garcia
Published: November 2024

A cidade de Santos possui 434 mil habitantes, sendo que 10% habitam em condições subnormais, em favelas, palafitas e cortiços. Os cortiços são um problema na cidade desde meados do século XIX, e mesmo com as políticas de habitação social estabelecidas durante o século XX, desde os Institutos de Aposentadorias e Pensões até o Minha Casa Minha Vida, a questão da habitação social na cidade continua grave. A partir de 2003 foram elaborados pela prefeitura projetos para a recuperação do patrimônio histórico no centro da cidade. O projeto “Alegra Centro” gerou conflitos, pois muitos imóveis históricos das áreas de proteção eram cortiços há muitas décadas. Quais são as possibilidades para projetos de preservação de patrimônio conjuntamente com uma política de habitação social eficiente?

Authors: Marques Neto Roberto , Costa Baptista Barreto Juliana , Silvestre Lucas Paula Graciele
Published: November 2024

As abordagens que enfocam os aspectos geoquímicos de superfície no estudo dos geossistemas são de grande valia para interpretações de ordem genético-evolutiva, bem como para o entendimento de aspectos dinâmico-funcionais apreensíveis através da disposição dos compartimentos geoquímicos e suas conectividades. No presente artigo, assume-se o objetivo de avaliar as relações entre a estrutura dos geossistemas, a geoquímica das coberturas superficiais e as transferências de matéria e energia relacionadas a tais aspectos em bacia de baixa ordem do domínio tropical atlântico. As aplicações se encerram na bacia do córrego Salvaterra (Juiz de Fora, MG), representativa das morrarias cristalinas do sudeste brasileiro, onde foram identificados grupos de fácies distribuídos em três tipos genéticos de geossistemas (residuais, dissecados e acumulativos) vinculados a três compartimentos geoquímicos (eluviais, transeluviais e acumulativos). Análises granulométricas, de fertilidade e de mineralogia por difração em raio-X identificaram um ambiente notoriamente oxidante, com domínio de caulinita e gibsita e presença copiosa do Fe em diferentes setores da bacia, indicando intenso retrabalhamento das coberturas superficiais coexistindo com interflúvios resistentes sustentados por duricrostas. Tais processos são favorecidos por um sistema geomorfológico caracterizado por vertentes íngremes e vales profundos entalhados por influência neotectônica, condizendo com as características fundamentais das bacias de alta ordem que demandam o nível de base regional do rio Paraíba do Sul.

Realizar o mapeamento de áreas com risco de inundação é relevante para evitar possíveis desastres. O Índice de Vulnerabilidade pode ser uma importante ferramenta para o gerenciamento de riscos. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo, de modo geral, mapear as áreas de risco de inundação na bacia da Quintino, que é acometida por eventos adversos como alagamentos e inundações, que podem colocar a população residente em condições de vulnerabilidade e risco. O mapa da ameaça foi gerado a partir do Modelo Digital de Elevação – MDE com a utilização das seguintes classes: Alta Ameaça, Média Ameaça) e Baixa Ameaça. Para o mapeamento da vulnerabilidade aplicou-se a fórmula do Índice de Vulnerabilidade Social (IVS) com os seguintes indicadores: População Total (PT); População Infantil (PIN); População Idosa (PI); População Analfabeta (PA) e Renda (R). Para gerar o risco, os resultados da análise da ameaça e da vulnerabilidade foram espacializados e cruzados em software SIG. Para a análise e mapeamento do risco foi possível identificar que a mancha do Risco está em 40,33% do território da bacia, os bairros Jurunas (91,8%) e Condor (61,6%) são os que apresentam maior porcentagem de risco.

Published: November 2024

O conhecimento histórico do uso e ocupação de um território é a chave para compreensão dos processos atuais de mudança da paisagem. O presente trabalho identificou os principais vetores de mudança atuantes na construção da paisagem atual do Litoral Norte de São Paulo entre os séculos XX e XXI, através de revisão da literatura. As políticas econômicas nacionais de industrialização e expansão urbana, influenciadas pelo capital estrangeiro, e o setor turístico, foram os vetores apontados como responsáveis pelas transformações na multifuncionalidade da paisagem no passado e no presente. A ampliação do acesso rodoviário foi consequência desses vetores, trazendo diversos impactos à região, como elevado crescimento populacional, expansão urbana sobre as áreas rurais, supressão da vegetação nativa, e problemas de saneamento básico. As comunidades tradicionais e as práticas de agricultura familiar foram apontadas como vetor cultural e socioeconômico que corrobora com a ampliação da heterogeneidade e da multifuncionalidade da paisagem. A presença de leis de proteção ambientais foi responsável pela redução do desmatamento, porém, foram sugeridas como impulsionadoras de conflitos econômicos, ambientais e sociais.
Multimedia Data Sharing and Autonomous Configuration with the Short-Range Information Sharing System NAMI
Authors: Ogino Tadashi
Published: November 2024

SHONAN, an advanced system harmonizing human capabilities and information technology (IT), was introduced in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which prompted the shift of office workers and school students to online platforms. In addition, a specific application of SHONAN, referred to as the narrow area communication system (NAMI), was previously implemented, exclusively sharing text-based information. Further, NAMI uses Bluetooth low energy (BLE) to exchange messages; however, it is difficult to exchange large data. In this paper, we have confirmed that it is possible to exchange large data using Wi-Fi under a preliminary experiment.At first, an experimental system was designed on paper in advance. This is insufficient for actual dynamic systems. So, after the preliminary experiment, we considered a method that can allow NAMI functions to continue to be used even when devices and edges move and the network configuration changes dynamically. Further, we implemented and confirmed the functions in the prototype.

The research on the behavior of the Arabica coffee variety (Coffea arabica) Var. Acawa with the application of soil fertilizers during the nursery stage aimed to analyze the behavior of the Arabica coffee cultivar Var. Acawa and to identify the best soil fertilizer that enhances the morphological development of coffee seedlings. An experimental design of randomized complete blocks with four repetitions was applied in the methodology. The evaluated variables were plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf length and width, petiole length, and root length. The results indicate that the greatest plant height was observed in the Yaramila Complex and Yara Rafos treatments, surpassing the control by 14.41% and 11.96%, respectively. Although no statistical differences were found, the greatest leaf length was recorded in Yara Rafos with 6.75 cm; the largest leaf diameter was observed where Yaramila Complex (9.50 cm)and Yara Rafos (9.30 cm) were applied; the longest petiole length was recorded in Yaramila Complex (10.48 cm) and Yara Rafos (10.83 cm), and the greatest root length, with no statistical difference, was seen in Yara Rafos at 14.98 cm, surpassing the control by 7.67%. The fertilizer that had the most impact on the morphological development of Acawa coffee seedlings was Yaramila Complex, followed by Yara Rafos, outperforming the control in all evaluated characteristics. It is concluded that the best fertilizer alternatives for Acawa coffee nurseries are Yaramila Complex and Yara Rafos.

This study explores the impact of various learning strategies on English academic performance among junior high school students at Mindanao Mission Academy during the 2024–2025 school year. The research specifically aims to identify the types of learning strategies used, find out the significant relationship between the types of learning strategies utilized and the English subject academic performance, to state if specific learning strategies predict English subject academic performance among different demographic groups (age, gender, and grade level) of junior high school students at Mindanao Mission Academy. Using a descriptive-correlational design, 482 students responded using the Academic Learning and Cognitive Resource Assessment (ACRA) developed by Román & Gallego (1994) questionnaire to assess the academic learning strategies and cognitive resource of the students. The academic performance was based on their first grading grade in English subject. Furthermore, Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory, Alice Eagly’s Social Role Theory, and Wilder Penfield’s Critical Period Hypotheses, including others were used to support the findings. Results indicate that structured study habits show significant correlations with higher academic performance (Estimate = 2.300, SE = 0.523, t = 4.397, p < .001), highlighting study habits as a key contributor to improved English subject academic performance, while other strategies showed limited predictive power. Gender-based differences were observed in the impact of microstrategies (Estimate = -2.612, SE = 1.271, t = -2.055, p = 0.040), suggesting a variation in how these strategies impact academic outcomes. The study also found that demographic factors—such as age, gender, and grade level—do not significantly predict the learning strategies on English performance. These findings emphasize the need for refinement in educational approach of institutions not just in teaching learning strategies but also improving learning environments. Implementing individualized support and collaborative learning opportunities can improve English academic performance. These results have implications for institutions incorporating better programs, tailored to improve English proficiency of students.

This study investigates the healthcare preferences of senior high school students at Mindanao Mission Academy (MMA) in the Philippines, focused on exploring healthcare preference within an urban setting. Such studies overlook healthcare behaviors among adolescents in semi-rural, mission-based settings. The primary objective of this research is to examine students' preferences for medical checkups versus home remedies and to assess how demographic factors such as age, sex, and socioeconomic status may influence these choices. This study utilizes a descriptive correlational design, with a sample of 266 students who completed structured survey questionnaires. The data were analyzed using SPSS software, employing statistical tests including correlation and linear regression. The findings reveal that students exhibit a moderate preference for both medical checkups and home remedies, with age emerging as a significant factor influencing healthcare preferences. However, sex and socioeconomic status were not found to significantly impact healthcare decisions. Specifically, socioeconomic status did not serve as a significant predictor, suggesting socioeconomic status as a single demographic do not predict healthcare preferences. The study highlights the importance of age-specific health education programs, as demographic indicators like sex and socioeconomic status may not reliably predict healthcare preferences. The results suggest that schools, healthcare providers, and policymakers should prioritize creating health education programs modified to the unique healthcare decision-making needs of adolescents, focusing on buiding independent decision-making skills. These programs should address the importance of recognizing symptoms and understanding when to seek professional care or utilize home remedies. Future research could explore how healthcare preferences evolve over time, considering a broader age range or different socio-cultural settings.

This study addresses a research gap in understanding the impact of financial status on academic motivation among senior high school students. While financial status is widely studied for its effects on academic performance, its relationship with academic motivation remains understudied, particularly within the Philippine context. This research aims to clarify this link, using Self-Determination Theory, Expectancy-Value Theory, and Achievement Goal Theory to frame the motivational processes potentially influenced by financial background. Conducted among a stratified random sample of 266 senior high school students at Mindanao Mission Academy, the study employed a quantitative correlational design, utilizing an adapted survey instrument based on Moneva et al. (2020). Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, ANOVA, and simple linear regression. Results show a weak yet statistically significant positive correlation between financial status and academic motivation (r = 0.178, p < 0.01), though ANOVA indicates no significant motivation differences across financial groups (p > 0.05). These findings imply that while financial stability provides a slight motivational boost, students’ motivation is driven by internal factors more than financial circumstances. Implications underscore the need for support systems that foster intrinsic motivation across socioeconomic backgrounds, and recommendations include developing inclusive, motivation-enhancing programs that prioritize goal setting and self-efficacy.
The Slow Cancellation of the Future: Capitalist Realism within the Combined and Uneven Development
Authors: Baghiu Ștefan
Published: November 2024

This essay is the English translation of Stefan Baghiu’s introduction to the Romanian translation of Mark Fisher’s 2009 Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative?. It delves into how Fisher’s book fits into his broader body of work, emphasizing the functional role of his concept of capitalist realism within the context of world systems theory and the paradigm of combined and uneven development. The preface is both a praise of the term and a critique of its major essentialism: the essentialism inherent in the perspective on capitalism, which serves as an overarching framework for every facet of global production, and the extrapolation of the peculiarities of Western capitalism to other areas precisely due to this essentialism. In this context, essentialism refers to the reduction of the diverse forms that capitalism generates in various parts of the world to a singular, uniform, and guiding form of capitalism, as if the Western modes of production are comparable with those in Eastern Europe, China, Latin America, Africa, and so forth. In Capitalist Realism (as well as in all his other works), Fisher articulates ideas through and about the Anglo-American culture, inherently serving as a chronicler of pop culture in these areas. The captivating force of his theory, however, stems primarily from the way it creates the illusion that what is currently unfolding in other regions is merely a delayed manifestation of capitalist realism moving from the center to the periphery.
La dimension métaphorique en langues de spécialité : traduire les métaphores anthropomorphiques dans le domaine de la plasturgie Français – Roumain
Authors: Vasioiu Valentina-Nicoleta , Milcu Marilena
Published: November 2024

Our article concentrates on the study of metaphors, particularly the translation of anthropomorphic metaphors used within the plastics industry. Through the intermediary of the analysis realised with the help of a technical corpus, which focuses on various texts and documents specific for the plastics industry, we have highlighted the use of anthropomorphic metaphors in the context of specialised languages, and we have identified the difficulties concerning their translation. Anthropomorphic metaphors can determine problems especially when the relationship between metaphorical expression and its referent is not visible at first sight or when they do not possess the status of lexicalized metaphors. Understanding the meaning of the anthropomorphic metaphors and finding the appropriate equivalent in Romanian can be achieved only by a systematic documentary research, which plays a crucial part particularly when the difficulty lies in the semasiological and onomasiological phases of the translation process.
„Memoria secretă a obiectelor”. Medierea culturală în muzeu prin atelier, obiect și poveste
Authors: Baron Ovidiu
Published: November 2024

The current article reviews the evolution of cultural mediation and its modes of functioning in the activities proposed within the ASTRA Museum, recovering the field research efforts of the predecessors and continuing them with well-articulated forays into today’s rural world. The author mentions the arguments for the research and collection of constructions, objects, and installations, starting from the project of the Transylvanian Associations for Romanian Literature and the Culture of the Romanian People (ASTRA), which has inaugurated the Museum of Associations in 1905 with its first exhibition of sequences of outdoor constructions. The Museum of Popular Techniques, opened in 1967, became after the Revolution of 1989 the Museum of Traditional Popular Civilization, an integral part of the ASTRA National Museum Complex. Often found under the urgency of saving some constructions, objects, or traditions, field research has had multiple results, whether one refers to collections, to the permanent outdoor exhibition, to scientific studies, or to the continuous identification of human resources capable of transmitting knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as of transcribing or recording through images and sound the memory of the village. A new valorisation of these cultural research and mediating efforts has been materialized in the “Secret Memory of Objects” Program.
Dissolving Reality: Exploring the Erosion of Photographic Authenticity in the Age of AI
Authors: Gross Eduard-Claudiu
Published: November 2024

This study explores the intricate dynamics of visual communication in the context of AI-generated visuals. The question of picture interpretation, starting with the subjective interpretation of images, contextual constraints, and cultural influences of individuals that may affect the perception of an image, is at the heart of this work. The study examines a range of viewpoints on the perception of pictures from writers including Roland Barthes, John Berger, Susan Sontag, and Jean Baudrillard in order to investigate these concerns. The paper also explores the significance of AI-generated graphics, as well as Jean Baudrillard’s simulacra notion. It draws attention to how simulacra, or representations without a true relationship to reality, are embodied by AI-generated visuals. In the context of AI-generated imagery, Baudrillard’s phases of the image are analyzed, indicating the separation from reality and the formation of pure simulacra. The importance of critically engaging with images becomes evident, as viewers’ personal experiences, cultural backgrounds, and the intricate complexities of visual media intertwine to shape meaning. The insights derived from this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the multi-faceted nature of visual communication in contemporary society, emphasizing the need for a nuanced and critical approach to the interpretation of visual content.
Domesticating the Vampire Trope Through Translation: The Case of the Two 1897 Translations of Jules Verne’s Le château des Carpathes (1892)
Authors: Martin Anca Simina
Published: November 2024

One of the earliest and most important works of vampire literature to be translated into Romanian is Jules Verne’s Le château des Carpathes (1892), which saw no less than two renditions in 1897, the year in which Bram Stoker released his famous Dracula: Victor Onișor’s, published in the then Austro-Hungarian province of Transylvania and an anonymous version, serialized in a Bucharest-based publication from Romania. Although not comparable in terms of production value and critical reception, the two translations find common ground in the fact that they reduce the already minimal presence of vampires in the French author’s work in favor of the local “strigoi.” This domesticating practice, witnessed as late as 2009 in the case of renditions from the Romanian, appears to have applied in the opposite direction as well, which contributed to a belated association of the term “vampire,” heavily influenced by the late nineteenth-century political and pop culture discourses from the West, with the bloodthirsty monster popularized by Stoker.
Strategii literare subversive în lupta dintre o literatură marginalizată și canon: o lectură a romanului Europolis
Authors: Vîrban Iulia-Maria
Published: November 2024

Accused, on the one hand of the danger of scarcity, and, on the other, of the danger of marginalization, children’s literature in the interwar period is often associated with clichéd labels, such as “minor literature”, without the latter being understood in the direction proposed by Deleuze. On the contrary, the meaning of the term is strictly pejorative, and it marks the dissolution into mediocrity of the texts recovered from the above-mentioned category. So, the intention of the present paper is to propose a case study of the novel Europolis written by Jean Bart, aiming to identify some interpretative tools detected at the level of the text with the aim of reinstating the status of this literary genre on the canonical stage. The poporanist ideological direction assumed by the author in all his writings, the unusual linguistic images given by the nicknames attributed to the characters (Penelope, the American, etc.), their actions, enhanced and predictable like in a soap opera –all contribute to the generation of necessary aspects in the panorama of a motley community subjected to social criticism when read in a subversive key. The construction of the narrative context around the port of Sulina involves a metaphor of openness (to otherness, various cultural/social inflections, etc.), but is dismantled by the author by means of actors regulated by the preliminaries of a capitalist society, against which the writing is reactionary, given the final failure of the character (see the curiosity aroused by the return of the character called the American, suspected of possessing an enormous fortune, a situation debunked at the end of the novel). Thus, the novel Europolis written by Jean Bart creates a pre-text, through entertainment and an engaging tone, to highlight the shortcomings of a collective fascinated by all that the West can offer, but unable to solve its own social and cultural emergencies, because of an organic hypocrisy which is ultimately sufficient for the final decline of all the characters.
Holocaustul între memorie locală și globală: America de peste pogrom de Cătălin Mihuleac
Authors: Florescu Paul-Iulian
Published: November 2024

This essay explores how a Holocaust counter-narrative can be constructed in response to historical negationism, Romanian exceptionalism, and ‘ethnocentric mindscape’, as described by Ana Bărbulescu. In America de peste Pogrom [America Over Pogrom] (2014), Cătălin Mihuleac reconstructs the Iași pogrom, challenging contemporary antisemitic and negationist discourses. The novel exposes the complicity of public figures, police, and civilians in the Jewish extermination under Ion Antonescu’s regime, thus creating a fictional narrative closer to the historical truth than other postcommunist discourses that denied the accountability of the Romanian people. Through the character Suzy Bernstein, who uncovers Romania’s genocidal past, Mihuleac’s work serves as a memorial and postmemorial metanarrative, reflecting on historical trauma, the social and historical conditions that made the Holocaust possible in Romania, on its impact on contemporary Romania and on the accessibility of Holocaust knowledge nowadays. The novel, while ignored by Romanian critics, has been well-received in Western Europe, highlighting the differing priorities in Holocaust memory between Eastern and Western societies. I am also interested in the circulation of Mihuleac’s novel. If the Romanian critics ignored the novel, it has been well received in the France and German and was awarded important prizes as well as apologetic reviews. My hypothesis for the lack of interest on Romanian critics’ behalf and, in contrast, of the interest shown by Western publishers and critics is the marginalization of the Holocaust memory in Romania and the centrality of it in the Western society, much preoccupied with keeping the victims’ memory alive and defending it (by legislating it) from negationist and conspiracy tendencies associated with contemporary antisemitic ideologies.
Modernismul queer în circulație: omologii și divergențe între Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu și Virginia Woolf
Authors: Fuioagă Anastasia
Published: November 2024

If the relationship between Romanian and world literature is becoming an increasingly present topic in current research, due to materialist-based theoretical tools of Immanuel Wallerstein and further the WReC research, the role played by queer studies in understanding networks of cultural circulation often remains neglected. An example of this is the notion of queer modernism, which could prove to be an indispensable tool in mapping the cultural relations of exchange between Romanian literature and that of Western centers in the first half of the 20th century. Feminist and queer modernist studies show that the subject of queerness, centered especially around the crisis of gender definition, constitutes one of the major forces in the development and circulation of literary modernism, where the expansion language’s limits in prose is underpinned, in subtext, by the attempt to transgress the cisheteronormativity of the era. Starting from Eugen Lovinescu’s attempt to establish a structural homology between Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu and Marcel Proust, I use the concept of queer modernism to propose, rather, an ideological homology between the Romanian writer and Virginia Woolf. Confronting two contexts marked, on the one hand, by similar patriarchal conditions and, on the other hand, by important local specificities, I aim to trace what kind of response to these conditions each author’s prose embodies, directing my attention to strategies of encoding queerness in their novels. I will observe the main point of divergence in the two authors’ representations of queerness: where Virginia Woolf conceives of a character who openly disrupts the stability of the dichotomous sex-gender system in Orlando, Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu almost opaquely encodes the lesbian relationship between two female characters in Drumul ascuns [The Hidden Road]. I will argue that one of the impediments to the wider circulation of queer modernism in Romanian literature is the imperative to construct a legitimate national culture, incompatible with elements that question traditional values, especially in the post-1918 political context. The comparison with Virginia Woolf will function as a means to delineate the diverse manifestations of queerness within various contexts related to modernity, conceived as a global phenomenon.
Sfidând granițele literaturii canonice: literatura licențioasă
Authors: Anghel Mihaela-Lorelai
Published: November 2024

As a victim of prejudices fueled by a rationale of social, economic, and cultural control, licentious literature still stands nowadays at the opposite pole of canonical—or hyper-canonical—literature. Using the conceptual apparatus supported by David Damrosch, this literary genre belongs, with few exceptions, to the shadow canon and counter canon. Although licentious literature represents an artistic manifestation that advocates for freedom of thought, expression, and creation, its libertine, obscene, erotic, or even pornographic nature and language have pushed it into a corner. By placing themselves on the edge, various writers from different ages have engaged with this type of writing, which is also a way of exposing social norms, dominant cultural discourse of a certain era, or the literary limits; and they have done so without fail, in some cases, at the cost of facing repercussions. Literary criticism, too, has struggled to react to this genre of literature, often finding its tools challenged and frequently invalidated. This genre, despite having received a discriminative treatment, is the focus of this article; we aim to revisit the concept of licentious literature through the following lens, which often goes beyond a strictly literary approach: what is licentious literature and what are its conceptual boundaries, how does this type of literature position itself in relation to official discourse and literary tradition, what is the profile of the writer who embraces such writing, including the profile of the consumer, and what are its modes of circulation, the moment it appears on the local literary scene, the forms it takes, and, last but not least, its epic, thematic, compositional particularities, and its vision over existence?
A SAÚDE MENTAL NA ATENÇÃO BÁSICA: AVANÇOS E DESAFIOS
Authors: PAULO ROBERTO DE CARVALHO CASTRO  , JOSÉ LÚCIO MONTEIRO WOLFF FILHO
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Mental health is an essential part of primary care, fundamental for the prevention and management of mental disorders. This study highlights the advances and challenges of this integration, such as collaborative models and the use of telemedicine, which have expanded access and care effectiveness, especially in remote contexts. Material and Methods: A literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, including articles published between 2007 and 2023, in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. The search was carried out in the PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases, using specific descriptors. The articles were qualitatively analyzed, identifying patterns, gaps, and relevant strategies for integrating mental health into primary care. Results and Discussion: The results point to significant advances, such as the inclusion of specialized professionals, continuous training, and technologies like telemedicine, which have increased the resolvability and reach of care. However, barriers such as insufficient financial resources, social stigma, and workload overload still limit the effectiveness of the integrated model. Future strategies include increased funding, intersectoral articulation, and the adoption of technological tools, as well as public policies focused on equity and stigma reduction. Conclusions: The integration of mental health into primary care is a complex yet indispensable challenge to improve the quality of life of the populations served. This study reinforces the need for sustainable and collaborative solutions aligned with local and global demands.
1990’LARDAN 21. YY’IN İLK ÇEYREĞİNE KADAR OLAN SÜREÇTE MÜZİK ÜRETİMİNDEKİ GÜRLÜK EVRİMİ
Authors: Tanyeri Bekir

Bu çalışmada, 1990’lar, 2000’ler ve 2010’lu yıllarda üretilen müziklerin ses kalitesindeki değişimi incelemek amacıyla dinamik alan, LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale) değeri ve peak seviyeleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular başlığı öncesinde, “Dinamik Aralık, Ses Yüksekliği ve Mastering Sürecinin Önemi, LUFS ve Önemi, Ses Yüksekliği (Loudness) ve Psikoakustik Algısı, LUFS Ölçüm Yöntemleri, Dinamik Aralık ve Ses Seviyesi Ölçümü için Teknik Terimler ve Standartlar” konuları detaylı bir şekilde anlatılmıştır. Çalışmanın devamında, müziklerin teknik analizleri, Studio One DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Müziklerin seçimi, dönemin popüler şarkılarından ve ticari olarak yaygın olan parçalardan yapılmıştır. Toplamda 15 şarkı değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Her bir şarkı, baştan sona dinamik özellikleri dikkate alınarak analiz edilmiştir. LUFS ve peak seviyeleri, şarkının kritik anlarındaki ve tamamındaki değerlerle ölçülmüştür. Dinamik alan (dynamic range), ortalama LUFS değeri ile peak seviyeleri arasındaki fark üzerinden hesaplanmıştır. Analizlerde kullanılan başlıca plug-in’ler arasında Youlean Loudness Meter (peak seviyeleri ölçümü), iZotope Insight (LUFS ölçümü ve dinamik analiz) ve FabFilter Pro-L 2 (peak ve LUFS analizleri) yer almaktadır. Elde edilen veriler tablolar aracılığıyla karşılaştırılmış, 1990’lar, 2000’ler ve 2010 sonrası müzikler kendi arasındaki dinamik değişimler değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin sağlaması Studio One ile yapılmıştır ve verilerin tutarlı olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Yani kullanılan 3 plug-in’in verileri ile Studio One’ın verileri birbirlerini doğrulamıştır. Bu yöntem, müzik prodüksiyonundaki mastering seviyelerindeki artışı ve dinamik aralık daralmasını incelemeyi hedeflemiştir.
