Emmanuelle Dantan, Lasse ! de male hore fui nee ! Voix féminines dans la lyrique d’oïl, représentations et discours
Authors: Dantan Emmanuelle
Published: February 2025

Cette thèse se propose de porter un nouveau regard sur la production lyrique des xiie et xiiie siècles et sur les enjeux discursifs et idéologiques qui l’ont mue. Elle a permis de montrer que l’approche réalisée par les philologues depuis le xixe siècle nécessitait d’être repensée et que le corpus des pièces lyriques ne pouvait plus être étudié et analysé comme un unique type de discours qui serait seulement littéraire, masculin et aristocratique. D’autres franges de la société médiévale se sont emparées de ces genres lyriques pour les réinvestir de leurs propres préoccupations et valeurs, et les inscrire dans d’autres types de discours, non littéraires. Bien loin d’apparaître comme une étude anecdotique, à mille lieues des enjeux de notre époque, ce travail se destine aussi à éclairer les interprétations musicales actuelles, proposées par les ensembles de musique médiévale, afin de leur apporter une autre appréhension de ces chansons, en particulier en ce qui concerne la mise en voix des discours féminins qui y sont représentés.
Priscilla Mourgues, La poétique du voyage dans le Livre des Merveilles (manuscrit Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, fr. 2810)
Authors: Mourgues Priscilla
Published: February 2025

Cette thèse porte sur le manuscrit intitulé le Livre des Merveilles (manuscrit Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, fr. 2810), qui a été composé au début du xve siècle et réunit des œuvres sur l’Orient rédigées aux xiiie et xive siècles, traduites, pour certaines, par le moine Jean le long d’Ypres. S’y côtoient des textes célèbres, tels le Devisement du monde de Marco Polo, la Relatio d’Odoric de Pordenone, les Voyages de Jean de Mandeville et la Fleur des estoires de la terre d’Orient d’Hayton, et des textes moins connus : la Pérégrination de Riccold de Monte Croce, le Traitié de l’estat de la Terre sainte et ossy en partie de la terre d’Egippte de Guillaume de Boldensele, le Livre de l’estat du grant Caan et des lettres du pape et des chrétiens alains. Il s’agit d’étudier en quoi ce manuscrit est caractérisé par une poétique du voyage, qui fédère les textes, aussi variés soient-ils, et instaure un dialogue particulièrement fécond entre écrits et images. La notion de poétique est ainsi envisagée pour son rapport avec la création littéraire, avec l’esthétique et aussi avec une forme du plaisir du texte. La première partie de ce travail se concentre sur la mise en recueil de différents témoignages au sein d’un même codex. Elle propose une analyse de la tradition manuscrite de chaque texte du Livre des Merveilles, du parcours historique de ce dernier et de sa composition, puis de l’écriture de l’expérience des voyageurs, mêlée d’inventions, et de leur volonté de transmettre un message à leurs lecteurs. La deuxième partie propose une étude plus formelle du manuscrit, en analysant plus spécifiquement sa dispositio. Il s’agit alors de montrer comment se crée une esthétique du caché-montré, par la pratique importante de l’ellipse et de la condensation d’une part, et, d’autre part, par une forte rhétorique de l’ostension. Si certaines œuvres du manuscrit donnent une impression de fragmentation, le Livre des Merveilles tisse indéniablement des liens entre les textes et crée ainsi des jeux de continuités et d’échanges entre eux. Enfin, la troisième partie de cette thèse est axée sur la notion de divertissement. Elle considère le manuscrit pour les agréments qu’il peut procurer aux lecteurs, car les auteurs-voyageurs doivent faire preuve d’ingéniosité pour dire l’inconnu et insèrent dans leurs œuvres des micro-récits, pour la plupart exotiques. Les images apportent quant à elles un divertissement tout autre, issu du dialogue qu’elles établissent avec le texte.
Camille Bellenger, Principes, usages et fonctions de l’écriture visuelle dans les Miracles de Nostre Dame de Gautier de Coinci
Authors: Bellenger Camille
Published: February 2025

Moine bénédictin lettré, Gautier de Coinci (v. 1177-1236) se présente comme le translateur des Miracles de Nostre Dame avant de s’en dire l’escrivain : de proses latines, il fait émerger un recueil de contes en langue romane et en octosyllabes rimés. L’enjeu est clair – promouvoir la vénération de la Vierge auprès de ceux qui n’entendent pas la letre. On ne peut cependant réduire la mise en œuvre de cette ambition au seul procédé de vernacularisation : la présente étude vise à mettre en évidence la part substantielle que joue, dans la transmission des savoirs mariologiques, ce que nous appelons l’écriture visuelle. Ce dispositif textuel, dont les traits sont identifiés à partir d’indices lexicaux, syntaxiques, structurels, thématiques et idéologiques, est conçu comme le fruit d’une conjoncture discursive précise, celle du xiiie siècle naissant, attentive à tout ce qui se voit, à ce qui peut se donner à voir et se mettre en images, ainsi qu’aux relations dynamiques entre visible et invisible. Aussi ce travail commence-t-il par montrer que veoir est un objet fondamental du corpus, c’est-à-dire considérer l’écriture visuelle en tant que principe narratif ; il interroge ensuite les rapports entre perception et représentation dans la production du discours sur le divin – notre objet devient alors un principe apologétique ; enfin, dans la mesure où elle est ce qui fait du texte une véritable mise en présence de Nostre Dame pour le public, l’écriture visuelle est examinée en tant que principe spirituel. Loin de s’en tenir au constat simplificateur du didactisme des Miracles, l’analyse plaide donc en faveur de l’appréciation de leur part savante et résolument contemplative.
Public transport for all (continued)? Journeys within Brussels for disabled people

Published: February 2025

Cet article étudie le déficit d’accès à la ville en transport public subi par les personnes en situation de handicap à Bruxelles. La recherche est conduite au niveau des itinéraires depuis tous les arrêts de la STIB vers 20 destinations réparties à travers la ville. Les calculs permettent d'établir une comparaison entre des trajets réalisés sans contraintes et des déplacements effectués selon six contraintes de déplacements. Les résultats sont très hétérogènes selon la contrainte de déplacement considérée, l’origine et la destination. Cette recherche met en évidence un grand déficit d’accès à la ville en transport public : avec une contrainte de déplacement, la plupart des trajets requièrent plus de temps, plus de correspondances et plus de marche. L’aspect non inclusif du métro a un impact majeur sur les résultats. Nous concluons qu’il y a beaucoup de potentiel d’amélioration pour rendre les transports publics bruxellois pleinement inclusifs.

Published: February 2025

In order to help farmers become more knowledgeable about the optimum fertilizer to apply to maize during and after planting with the intent of increasing crop yield, this study aimed to ascertain the current level of knowledge among farmers on the effects of applying various fertilizers on maize.The experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research farm of the Department of Agricultural Technology, Aquatech College of Agriculture and Technology, Ibadan, Oyo state. The experiment was arranged in a completely Randomized design (CRD) with three replicates.. The factors used were starter (NPK 15:15:15), foliar (Urea) (25kg of urea in 1 liter of water) and a combination of starter and foliar. The data collected on growth parameters were plant height. Stem girth, leaf length and grain yield and the data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). Significant means were separated using Least Significant Difference at p≤0.05. The experiment's findings showed that the combination of foliar and starter fertilizers improved plant height, stem, leaf length, and yield. Starter, foliar, and control performed the worst. In summary, the combination of foliar and starter fertilizers significantly (p≤0.05) increased maize growth and yield, followed by starter only, foliar, and control.
Effect of land use / land cover change on the vegetation of Attah watershed in Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River State

Published: February 2025

The removal, destruction or impairment of natural ecosystems are among the greatest causes of critical impacts on the sustainability of our natural environment. The magnitude of the impacts will vary according to the setting’s conditions with a wide range of possible landscape changes. Changes that can occur to landscapes include: forest clearance, crop- or grazing lands replacing grasslands or other natural terrestrial ecosystems, urbanization (leading to changes in infiltration and runoff patterns as well as pollution), wetlands removal or reduction, new roadwork for transportation, and mining in quarries or large-scale open pits. For Data Acquisition and Pre-Processing Procedure, the change in the forest landscape across the study area was performed using satellite remote sensing data for three epochs (1987, 2000 and 2021). For this study, two scenes of Landsat 5Thematic Mapper (TM), one scene of Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) and one scene of Landsat 8 (OLI) were used for the three epoch. Image Classification and Accuracy Assessment During image classification, revealed that Landsat 5, Landsat 7 bands with same spectral ranges as well as the Landsat 8 image were selected for input. A total of three broad classes were used in the study. The three broad classes were forestland, Agricultural land and settlements/bare earth. The process of image classification and accuracy assessment was performed using independent training and testing data. The result revealed that in 1987, the dominating area in Attah was the forest land. About twenty five percent (25.33%) of the forest land was lost to farming (16.76%) and settlement (8.57%).This loss of vegetation increased in the year 2000 where 37.86% of the total forest land was lost to farming (24.42%) and settlement (13.44%), while 46.28% of the forest land was lost to farming (30.34) and settlement (15.94) in 2021.This was as a result of the increase in population which made the settlement to increase while the farming portion also increased because of the peoples’ survival. all land use/land cover classes for the three epochs 1987, 2000 and 2021 shows that water bodies were affected by this land cover change as evident in the reduction in stream depth, width and water quality. The study concluded that the dominating area of the vegetation in the study area was the forested area which gradually reduces as the farming area increases because of the population growth which also caused an increase in the settlement area of the map and this trend continued throughout the study period with the forested area gradually reducing while the farming and settlement area increased.

Published: February 2025

The haematological and biochemical indices of West African Dwarf (WAD) goats fed yam peel and gmelina leaf meal based diet supplemented with multinutrient block were studied for 8 weeks. Twelve WAD bucks, 5 – 6 months old, with an average weight of 5.6 kg were used. The bucks were randomly assigned to four treatments with three bucks per treatment in a completely randomized design. The bucks in treatment one (control) were fed yam peel and gmelina leaf only. While, bucks in treatments two, three and four were fed yam peel and gmelina leaf supplemented with different multinutrient block compositions. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were collected and analysed. The results showed significant differences (P<0.05) across treatments for packed cell volume, white blood cells, neutrophils and lymphocytes counts. Total protein, creatinine, urea and albumin were significantly different (P<0.05) across treatments. The haematological and biochemical indices were within the normal range for goats. Therefore, yam peel and gmelina leaf-based diet can be supplemented with multinutrient blocks in the diets of West African dwarf goats for sustainable ruminant production
Level of compliance with timber logging regulations in Central Cross River State, Nigeria

Published: February 2025

The remorseless neglect of forest laws and regulations in timber logging operations is worrisome and detrimental to the health of the forests. This study is aimed at assessing the level of compliance with timber logging regulations in Central Cross River State. The projected population of nine (9) sampled communities from three (3) LGAs which were purposively sampled based on their predominance in illegal logging activities was subjected to Taro Yamene formula to get the sample size of three hundred and ninety-six (396) respondents for the study. Data was collected through the use of semi-structured questionnaire and analysed by the Likert scale rating format. The research findings showed that loggers comply more to forest laws and regulations during periods where there is ban on timber harvesting, where there is strict supervision, control and regulations because of the ban. It is therefore recommended that ban on timber exploitation in the study area be enforced since compliance with forest regulations is higher during the ban period, as well as reviewing and strictly enforcing forest laws and regulations, and also encouraging the locals to manage their own forest (participatory forest management) to improve compliance. Enlightenment campaigns through media such as billboards, radio, television, seminars, workshops, handbill, etc. on the need to comply with forest laws and regulations should be organized by the Government, NGOs, and well-meaning individuals to encourage compliance with forest regulations on timber logging operations.

The aim of the study is to analyse beliefs concerning the components of romantic love, its types and its relation with ADHD symptoms in the group of young adults with ADHD. The research involved 86 individuals aged 20 to 28 years (M = 23.14; SD = 2.06). Young adults with ADHD, compared to the control group, are significantly less satisfied with their romantic relationships in terms of commitment, and more satisfied in terms of intimacy; the level of passion does not differ between the groups. Hyperactivity/impulsivity can be indicated as a predictor of commitment to a relationship. Adults with ADHD express the romantic type of love.
Climate Change, Gender, and Mental Health: African Eco-psychological Perspective
Authors: Leshota Paul , Malimabe Makamohelo Pea
Published: February 2025

Global climate has changed over time, resulting in the change of precipitation patterns due to greenhouse emissions from fossil fuels. The devastating effects of the resulting global warming and climate change are pervasive. Both the earth and all that lives in it have become the victims of human’ obsession with ‘power over’, profit and greed. Middle and low-income countries are more on the receiving end of these adverse effects of global warming than the high-income countries who happen to be on the giving end of the emissions. While the environmental, physical, social, and structural effects of this change have been researched and documented, there has been comparatively little research about how climate change and mental health intersect to affect the relationship between human health and the entire ecological system. It is therefore the thrust of this paper to pursue this nexus with the view to delineate the extent to which climate change intersects with mental health, particularly in low income countries, to widen the inequality and vulnerability gap between peoples and countries. Even then, some groups – more than others – tend to become more vulnerable to mental health conditions than others. And these are more often than not, given inadequate or no attention as they are either concealed in the broader space of health services in general or under emergencies and disaster contexts.esk top study adopts an African eco psychological framework within the context of Goal # 3 of the Sustainable Development Goals to underscore the importance of socio-cultural considerations in mitigating the impact of climate change on mental health.

Published: February 2025

While global warming affects people globally, in Africa, women are particularly more vulnerable than men because of the gendered nature of climate change impacts. Climate change increasingly threatens humanity by causing disasters such as droughts, floods, cyclones and heat waves which negatively impact human beings and the ecosystem. The socio-cultural beliefs and practices of women in African Independent Churches (AICs) increase their vulnerability as they are socialised to depend on decisions made by their male counterparts. The study focuses on Zionist women in Chivi, a rural area where women practice agriculture for their livelihoods. Many men migrate to neighbouring countries in search of employment, leaving women at the centre of climate change discourse. The study was guided by the intersectionality theory and Moser’s gender analysis framework as there are connected variables. A constructivist paradigm utilising a qualitative approach was adopted. The study used the narrative research design through in-depth interviews from stories and experiences of women in Zion church as primary participants and key informants who are knowledgeable about the phenomenon under study. In-depth interview guides and focus group discussion guides were used to collect data. The data collected was analysed thematically as follows: response to early warning signs, effects of droughts and flooding, resistance towards vaccinations, alternative livelihood strategies, collaboration and partnership with different organisations and proposed initiatives to church leadership including women in leadership positions. The study concluded that a multi-disciplinary approach to integrating environmental issues, religion, and gender is needed to preserve Mother Earth for sustainable use.

Current research in the field of an immunogenetics of tuberculosis is considered a key direction, since the treatment efficiency and outcomes of the disease in most cases depend on immunological and genetic features of the patient. Special attention should be paid to IL-10 value in development of protective immunity against tuberculosis. There are some contradictory data on influence of IL-10 on development of immune response in the patients with pulmonary tuberculosis which are published in several works. For example, L.G. Tarasova and colleagues connect the increased concentration of IL-10 with extensive destructive processes in pulmonary tissue, whereas while D. Higgins and coauthors show its key role in protection against chronic pneumonia. The objective of our study was to evaluate relations between several cytokine gene polymorphisms (IL1β, IL4, IL10, TNF), and their expression levels of in the course of continuous chemotherapy.
Whole venous blood was taken for the molecular and genetic analysis was perfoemed, with subsequent isolation of genomic DNA and carrying out real-time PCR for genotyping of SNPs. Concentration of cytokines in blood serum were defined by method of enzyme immunoassay. Statistical analysis included check of normality of distribution of data, nonparametric correlations and comparison of qualitative characters. The assessment of compliance of genotypes to distribution of Hardy–Weinberg was carried out with use of criterion χ2 Pearson. To measure the cytokine concentrations (IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, TNFα, IFNγ, IL-10) in blood serum, we used peripheral venous blood taken in fasting state at a 5-mL volume. Enzyme immunoassay was made with reagent sets from JSC Vektor Best-Tsitokiny according to the instructions from manufacturer.
In the course of specific chemotherapy at the continuation phase, a more adverse course of a disease was registered among the patients with a pulmonary tuberculosis harboring IL4-589CC genotype, when compared with those who have IL4-589CT+TT genotype. In the persons with IL10-592CA+AA genotype, a less favorable course of the disease was observed at the intensive phase of therapy, in comparison with patients who had IL10-592CC genotype.
Thus, process of interaction between microorganisms and macroorganisms in case of a tuberculosis infection represents a quite complicated process involving a set of immune response elements. Interactions within this system are controlled by means of cytokines, the mediators of cellular interactions.

Cell therapy is among the main methodological approaches in regenerative medicine. Its effectiveness is determined by the use of cell cultures containing the largest available number of viable cells. An important role in this process is played by growth factors that ensure cell proliferation and differentiation. Both recombinant proteins and native proteins from various biological fluids may be used as growth factors. Blood platelets, being anucleate cells, are a promising source of growth factors. Along with their main blood clotting function, the platelets contain a number of unique biological molecules in alpha granules, i.e., mediators involved in immune response, inflammation and regeneration processes. The major families of growth factors present in platelets are: platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF), transforming growth factors (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF), epithelial growth factors (EGF), fibroblast growth factors (FGF), insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). The PDGF family includes several subtypes: PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB, PDGF-AB, PDGF-CC, PDGF-DD. PDGF-BB has high angiogenic, chemotactic and mitogenic activity. It takes part in the proliferation and migration of interstitial cells in various organs, proliferation of smooth muscle cells in respiratory tract, development of cerebral vessels and renal glomeruli. The aim of our study was to examine the content of PDGF-BB factor in platelet lysates obtained from healthy donors. Platelet lysate is a complex cocktail containing many growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines. The concentration of specific factors in final product obtained from platelet concentrate is different for each donor, and, apparently, depends on age, gender, blood type and other individual differences. When choosing a growth additive for a cell culture, the cell biologist should be focused on high content of the trophic factor that most closely matches the goals of the given experiment. The use of recombinant additives in the culture medium is justified by precise dosage of these components. However, the use of natural sources may be more preferable, due to presence of different growth factors required for in vitro expansion of highly cellular viable cultures. According to our results, the optimal additive for obtaining viable fibroblasts, endothelial cells, mesenchymal multipotent stem cells is a growth-inducing product obtained from platelet lysate of female donors of Bα (III) group, and male donors of Aβ (II) blood groups which contain the highest concentration of PDGF-BB.
Immunoglobulin E and its significance in chronic dermatoses (psoriasis and vitiligo)
Authors: Zhanabaeva G. U. , Ismailova Z. A. , Muldabekova K. A.
Published: February 2025

The aim of the present study was to specify changes in immunoglobulin E (IgE) in patients with chronic dermatoses (psoriasis and vitiligo). The study involved 168 patients with psoriasis and vitiligo, aged 18 to 65 years, undergoing treatment at the Karakalpak branch of the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Center for Dermatovenereology and Cosmetology. IgE levels were determined by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method (“Vector Best”, Russian Federation). Analysis of the results has revealed an increase in IgE levels in a certain number of patients with different clinical forms of psoriasis. It was established that the IgE level was higher during the progressive stage (191.8 ± 42.95 IU/mL), being 16-fold higher than the values in control group. At the stationary stage, the IgE level in the serum was 10 times higher than the control values, averaging 116.72 ± 20.55 IU/mL. Hences, our studies have shown that the patients with psoriasis living in the Aral region exhibit a significant increase in IgE concentration in blood serum (13 to19-fold over controls). The highest increase in serum IgE was found in patients with erythroderma (19 times over normal range). Analysis of IgE levels in vitiligo revealed an increase in a smaller subgroup of patients. Analysis of patients with elevated IgE levels in vitiligo has shown that these patients had concomitant allergic conditions, i.e., allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. The conducted studies confirm the severity of changes in immune system parameters, including compensatory and reagin-mediated mechanisms, along with activation of cellular autoimmune processes in patients with dermatoses, which vary in intensity depending on clinical severity of the condition. When analysing the changes in IgE levels depending on clinical form of psoriasis, an increase in IgE levels was found in all clinical forms of psoriasis. The highest increase in serum IgE was observed in patients with erythroderma (230 ± 76.91 IU/ mL), which is 19 times higher than in practically healthy individuals. In psoriatic arthropathy (185 ± 44.36 IU/mL) and onychodystrophy (178.33 ± 43.43 IU/mL), it was 15 times higher. In the patients with psoriasis vulgaris, IgE level was 13 times higher (157.77 ± 34.61 IU/mL), and in the palmoplantar form 8 times higher than in controls (95.4 ± 23.05 IU/mL). Upon study of IgE levels in vitiligo, an increase was found in 27% of the total group, whereas 63% showed normal IgE levels. Analysis in the patients with elevated IgE levels revealed that these patients had concomitant allergic pathology manifesting withallergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. The patient with the highest IgE level had a family history of psoriasis, i.e., his father had psoriasis.

This study was conducted to develop an interactive e-module as a teaching material to enhance students' critical thinking skills. Therefore, a preliminary study consisting of a literature review and field study was necessary. The teaching material developed is an Interactive E-Module for science learning. The purpose of this study is to analyze the need for teaching materials in the form of an Interactive E-Module for Science Learning in Phase D to improve students' critical thinking skills. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach. The data collection instruments include a teacher needs analysis interview questionnaire, a student needs analysis questionnaire, and the average critical thinking skills score. The results indicate that the average critical thinking skills score is relatively low, with an achievement percentage of 43.55%. While 95.6% of students have a textbook for learning, 53% of them stated that the textbook is insufficient as a learning resource. Additionally, 67.3% of students expressed the need for additional learning materials that can support learning activities and be easily understood independently. These findings highlight the necessity of developing an Interactive E-Module for science learning to enhance students' critical thinking skills.

This research examines the impact of temporary fiscal policies on the financial performance and market dynamics of firms listed on Vietnam’s stock exchanges. By utilizing panel data spanning from 2018 to 2023, the study applies econometric methods, specifically a fixed-effects regression model, to explore the connections between fiscal stimulus measures—such as tax benefits and government subsidies—and corporate indicators, including profitability, stock price fluctuations, and investment behavior. The results demonstrate that temporary fiscal policies positively influence corporate profitability, stabilize market dynamics, and promote reinvestment, with export-oriented industries and larger firms benefiting the most. These findings provide evidence-based insights for policymakers to optimize fiscal interventions and ensure sustainable economic growth in emerging markets like Vietnam.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the role of debt financing in the relationship between conservatism, slack, managerial capability, uncertainty, and corporate financial performance. To evaluate this effect, an exploratory study has been used on 382 samples of all sectors, except finance, listed on the ASEAN 5 for 21 years. Panel data regression with a fixed effect method is used to test the company's financial performance. The study results indicate that conservatism and available slack positively affect a company's financial performance. Conversely, recoverable slack and macroeconomic uncertainty negatively affect a company's financial performance. This paper contributes to the literature by advancing knowledge about accounting conservatism, organization slack, and company financial performance relationships over time, which have been scarcely studied.

Новизна исследования заключается в применении этого аппарата к анализу страховых выплат домохозяйств, выборе соответствующих коэффициентов на основе статистики о доле выплат и учета специфики потребностей домашнего хозяйства как субъекта управления рисками и разработке модели диверсификации страхового портфеля домашнего хозяйства.

The approach to allocating a limited budget based on utility functions and weighting factors is widely used in consumption theory and in economic models to describe the effect of diminishing returns and prioritization of costs. The novelty of the study lies in the application of this apparatus to the analysis of household insurance payments, the selection of appropriate coefficients based on statistics on the share of payments and taking into account the specifics of the needs of the household as a risk management entity and the development of a model for diversifying the insurance portfolio of the household.

На основе эмпирических данных и отдельных экспериментальных значений проводится апробация модели диверсификации страхового портфеля, ранее представленной в рамках отдельного исследования. Модель, основанная на потребительских предпочтениях относительно выбора видов страхования исходя из ожидаемых страховых выплат, предоставляет рациональный способ оптимального использования средств, поскольку позволяет сконструировать страховой портфель исходя из расчетных данных по взносам. Является одним из примеров того, как математический аппарат может быть использован для анализа рисков и оптимизации страхового портфеля домашних хозяйств, открывая возможности для дальнейших адаптаций и улучшений.

Based on empirical data and individual experimental values, the insurance portfolio diversification model, previously presented in a separate study, is being tested. The model is based on consumer preferences regarding the choice of types of insurance based on expected insurance payments. Provides a rational way to make optimal use of funds. It allows you to construct an insurance portfolio based on estimated contribution data. It is one of the examples of how mathematical apparatus can be used to analyze risks and optimize the insurance portfolio of households, opening up opportunities for further adaptations and improvements.

Postmodernism and Popular Culture
Authors: Ahmad Hareem
Published: February 2025

Purpose: This research examines postmodernism's influence in social and political change and its relationship to popular culture. It examines how postmodernism changed media studies, cultural anthropology, gender studies, and youth culture. This study seeks to address gaps in our knowledge by analyzing how postmodern notions promote a more flexible cultural analysis and challenge traditional identity and representation theories.
Materials and Methods: Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Walter Benjamin, Susan Sontag, and Angela McRobbie are among the postmodernists and cultural theorists explored in the book. Ethnographic, empirical, political, feminist, and cultural studies are used to study popular culture's evolution. This multidisciplinary research examines fashion, media, and moral panics in current youth culture to analyse cultural shifts.
Findings: Postmodernism makes individuals doubt their beliefs, which fractures and changes their identities, according to the research. It concludes that cultural studies must remain flexible and unrigorous to address current social and political issues. The study shows that postmodernism has changed youth culture, media consumption, and gender relations. Additionally, it examines how famous cultural theorists have affected postmodernism and mainstream media discourse.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Cultural studies must evolve to keep up with postmodern society's changing dynamics, according to study. It claims that empirical and interdisciplinary research are needed to understand cultural changes. It also invites cultural experts to investigate popular culture more openly and flexibly and reevaluate feminist theory in postmodern contexts.
DETERMINANTS OF THE CORPORATE INCOME TAX AVOIDANCE – A BRIEF LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: ISTRATE COSTEL
Published: February 2025

Tax avoidance is the subject of o large number of studies. I choose to analyse these
studies by grouping them in three main categories: proxies used to measure the tax
avoidance, tax avoidance determinants (this study) and tax avoidance influences on
other variables. Analysing almost 80 papers, I identified a long list of factors that can
influence the level of tax avoidance practiced by companies, in terms of income tax, and
I grouped these factors into several categories. I proposed, first, factors related to the
personal and professional profiles of the members of the company's management, after
which I analysed factors related to corporate governance, but also to geographical and
institutional characteristics. The list of determinants can be continued with factors
related to the ownerships structure and the listing of companies on a stock market, as
well as with influences of all kinds of crisis (financial, pandemic, at regional or global
level). At the same time, I considered elements of a reputational nature that influence the
tax avoidance practices of companies, as well as technological developments, company
strategies, life cycle phase.
LEGAL ADAPTATION STRATEGIES FOR UNFORESEEN EVENTS IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY THROUGH THE INTEGRATION OF RESILIENCE AND MATERIAL REUSE
Authors: PLOTNIC OLESEA , PRAPORȘCIC VALERIA
Published: February 2025

The circular economy is essential for sustainable development, promoting the reuse of
resources and waste reduction. This article explores legal adaptation strategies to
address unforeseen events in the circular economy, highlighting the importance of
integrating resilience and material reuse. The purpose of this article is to analyze how
current legislation at both European and national levels addresses risks and unforeseen
events and to propose improvements for better integration of these concepts.
The main objectives include examining ways in which material reuse contributes to
adaptability, evaluating existing contractual clauses, and proposing adaptability clauses
for risk management. The case study of the "Close the Glass Loop" program in the glass
industry is used to illustrate the practical application of these strategies and to
demonstrate the success of a circular economy initiative in the context of disruptions
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Expected outcomes include a better understanding
of the importance of adaptability clauses in contracts and the need for flexible and
innovative regulations.
Legislative improvement proposals aim to introduce adaptability clauses, promote
investments in innovative technologies, and intensify public education campaigns. These
measures could contribute to increased resilience and sustainability of the circular
economy, providing a robust legal framework to facilitate the transition to more
sustainable and efficient economic practices.
In conclusion, this article emphasizes the need to adapt legislation to address the
challenges of the circular economy and proposes concrete solutions for integrating
resilience and material reuse into the existing legal framework, thereby contributing to
the creation of a sustainable and resilient economic model
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGULATIONS REGARDING THE JURISDICTION AND THE LIQUIDATION OF THE COMMERCIAL COURT IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA
Authors: PRISAC ALEXANDRU
Published: February 2025

This article presents the development of the regulations regarding the general
competence of courts and other jurisdictional bodies in the Republic of Moldova and
Bessarabia. In particular, the causes and reasons for the liquidation of the District
Commercial Court in the Republic of Moldova, which essentially changed the
regulations regarding general jurisdiction, were exposed. Special attention was also
paid to researching the development of the general jurisdiction and other jurisdictional
bodies in the Republic of Moldova, an aspect that highlights the general jurisdiction of
the Commercial District Court that was liquidated. Normative acts affecting the
functionality of several jurisdictional bodies from the point of view of the institution of
general competence were also analyzed. Also, some normative and legislative acts in
this field are analyzed which are currently in force in the Republic of Moldova, but
which require certain essential improvements. Thus, proposals were submitted to amend
and supplement the legislation to improve the legal framework in this area.
DYNAMIC GENERAL COMPETENCE AND THE APPLICATION OF THE CRITERIA FOR DELIMITATION OF ECONOMIC DISPUTES
Authors: PRISAC ALEXANDRU
Published: February 2025

In this article I have presented the criteria for delimiting economic disputes from
common law disputes, starting from the legislation of the Republic of Moldova. In
particular, the criterion of the subjective composition of the material-litigious reports
was highlighted. The regulations that were the basis of this criterion were analyzed
under an evolutionary aspect in the Republic of Moldova.
Another particularity analyzed was the dynamic general competence, which is
formulated by us as a new legal concept in delimiting the powers of jurisdictional bodies
to resolve civil disputes, in particular economic disputes. This type of general
jurisdiction is added by us in addition to the other types of general jurisdiction:
exclusive general jurisdiction, alternative general jurisdiction, contractual general
jurisdiction, conditional general jurisdiction, general jurisdiction in the case of related
claims. Dynamic general jurisdiction is complimentary to other types of general
jurisdiction and is largely based on the criterion of the subjective composition of
economic disputes. This is because these categories of disputes are the most dynamic in
the development of social relations.
TRANSFER PRICING. THE TAXPAYER’S RIGHT TO BE HEARD
Authors: ȘVIDCHI NATALIA
Published: February 2025

Transfer pricing represents a challenge both for the taxpayer and the tax administration.
As transfer pricing cases have increased in Romania over the past few years, legal
practitioners must face the task of understanding the rationale of the inherent functional
and economic analysis, which is far from being exact and straightforward, but rather
increasingly interpretative and highly challengeable.
In this paper the author provides a brief presentation of the arm’s length principle and
of the current legal framework in Romania, followed by a theoretical analysis of the
taxpayers right to be heard during transfer pricing tax inspections accompanied by two
cases from practice.
The author’s conclusion is that, considering the specificity of transfer pricing, the tax
inspection has the obligation to inform the taxpayer during the tax inspection whenever
it intends to make an adjustment or an estimation of the transfer prices. Moreover, prior
to making any adjustments or estimations, the tax administration has the obligation to
request from the taxpayer additional explanation and information in writing.
