ПРОБЛЕМНІ ПИТАННЯ КРИМІНАЛЬНОЇ ВІДПОВІДАЛЬНОСТІ ЗА ПОРУШЕННЯ НЕДОТОРКАННОСТІ ЖИТЛА, А ТАКОЖ ВЧИНЕННЯ ЦИХ ДІЯНЬ СЛУЖБОВОЮ ОСОБОЮ: НАЦІОНАЛЬНЕ ТА МІЖНАРОДНЕ ЗАКОНОДАВСТВО
Authors: Кришевич О.
Published: December 2023

Недоторканність житла особи є принципом, визнаним світовою спільнотою. При здійсненні своїх прав і свобод кожна людина може зазнаватитільки таких обмежень, які встановлені законом виключно з метою забезпечення належного визнання і поваги до прав і свобод інших та забезпеченнясправедливих вимог моралі, громадського порядку і загального добробуту вдемократичному суспільстві (пункт 2 статті 29 Загальної декларації прав людини 1948 року, стаття 18 Конвенції про захист прав людини і основоположних свобод 1950 року (постанова Верховного Суду, справа №757/41727/19-цвід 12.03.2020). Зокрема, ст. 12 Загальної декларації прав людини, яка прийнята і проголошена резолюцією 217 А (III) Генеральної Асамблеї ООН від 10грудня 1948 р., передбачено: «Ніхто не може зазнавати безпідставного втручання у його особисте і сімейне життя, безпідставного посягання на недоторканність його житла... Кожна людина має право на захист закону від такого втручання або таких посягань». Аналогічна вимога міститься в ст. 17 Міжнародного пакту про громадянські і політичні права, прийнятого ГенеральноюАсамблеєю ООН 16 грудня 1966 р., який набув чинності для України 23 березня 1976 р. Гарантія недоторканності житла встановлена ст. 30 Конституції України [1], ст. 311 Цивільного кодексу України [6] та ст.ст. 7, 13, 233 Кримінального процесуального кодексу України [4]. В Конституції та інших законах не передбачено право будь-кого і будь-коли проникати в житло чи інше володіння особи тільки тому, що там хтось незаконно перебуває та володіє ним, окрім невідкладних випадків, зазначених у ч. 2 ст. 30 Конституції.
ОСНОВНІ ФУНКЦІЇ СОЦІАЛЬНОГО ЗАХИСТУ СУДДІВ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Барсукv М.
Published: December 2023

Стаття присвячена уточненню змісту основних функцій соціального захисту суддів в Україні. На основі аналізу наукових підходів до розуміння сутності функцій соціального захисту автор доходе висновку, що структуру функцій соціального захисту суддів складають загальні, базові та факультативні функції. Наголошується на тому, що загальні та базові функції соціального захисту повинні бути основним орієнтиром в процесі оптимізації системи соціального захисту суддів. При цьому автором робиться застереження, що в рамках поточної судово-правової реформи не доцільно ігнорувати також і факультативні функції соціального захисту, які, виходячи за рамки основних функцій, збагачують загальну ефективність та адаптивність системи соціального захисту суддів.
ВИЗНАЧЕННЯ МЕЖ ДИФЕРЕНЦІАЦІЇ ПРАВОВОГО РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ ТРУДОВИХ ВІДНОСИН ПРАЦІВНИКІВ ТРАНСПОРТУ
Authors: Прокоп'єв Р.
Published: December 2023

У статті здійснено комплексне дослідження меж диференціації правового регулювання трудових відносин працівників транспорту. Наголошено на тому, що у трудових відносинах працівників транспорту досить складно провести правильну межу та визначити окремі аспекти нормативно-правового регулювання трудових правовідносин, що обумовлено значною кількістю загальних та спеціальних актів у вказаній сфері. Вказано на можливість зміни меж диференціації правового регулювання трудових відносин працівників транспорту у зв’язку з виникненням нетипових для України ситуацій, таких як, наприклад, COVID-19 та війна росії проти України.

Authors: Дуюнова Т.
Published: December 2023

У статті представлено науковий аналіз переліку осіб (суб’єктного складу), які можуть притягуватися до кримінальної відповідальності за вчинення військових правопорушень. Визначається, що суб’єкт вчинення військового кримінального правопорушення повинен відповідати ознакам загального суб’єкта кримінального правопорушення (фізична особа, осудність, досягнення віку кримінальної відповідальності) та володіти додатковою ознакою (відноситися до кола осіб, що несуть військову службу та вказані у ст. 401 Кримінального кодексу України). У якості висновку пропонується твердження про складність розуміння кола суб’єктного складу військових правопорушень і про необхідність подальшого удосконалення чинного закону щодо означеного питання.

Diagnóstico ultrassonográfico de abscesso prostático em canino SRD jovem orquiectomizado com paraparesia - relato de caso
Authors: De Oliveira Neto José Cardoso , Martins Junior Raul
Published: December 2023

Abscessos prostáticos são descritos, rotineiramente, na clínica médica; porém, o diagnóstico, por vezes, pode tornar-se lento por existir a possibilidade de ser confundido com outras patologias. A principal causa dos abscessos prostáticos é a infecção do trato urinário inferior. As prostatopatias tendem a acometer com mais frequência animais idosos e não castrados. O presente trabalho relata um caso de um animal canino, de 5 anos de idade, com dificuldade de locomoção há mais de 1 ano. Referido animal deu entrada na clínica médica para realização de radiografia de coluna e internação para controle de dor. Após internação, foi identificado hematúria e o animal foi submetido a exames hematológicos, e, posteriormente, à ultrassonografia abdominal para auxiliar na identificação da causa base da hematúria. Na ocasião, restou visibilizada uma próstata aumentada e com a presença de galerias anecogênicas. Após a realização da ultrassonografia, foi realizada a punção da próstata e verificada a presença de conteúdo caseoso, tendo sido diagnosticado abscesso prostático.

Stages and main tasks of the century-long control theory and system identification development
Authors: Romanenko Victor , Gubarev Vyacheslav
Published: December 2023

The article provides a review of the mathematical description of the dynamics of continuous and discrete linear stationary systems and objects, used at the development stage of the classical theory of automatic control in the form of mathematical models of the «input-output» type. The time and frequency characteristics of continuous and discrete control systems are described, typical links of stationary systems are considered, parametric discrete models of objects as part of typical digital control loops are presented. Stochastic discrete autoregressive models of stationary time series used to describe the dynamic objects in the synthesis of digital control systems are considered. A review of standard control laws for the implementation of continuous and discrete controllers has been completed. A method for synthesizing discrete controllers for multidimensional controlled objects with different, unknown and changing delays is considered, through which variable delays are compensated in the characteristic equation of a closed-loop control system. A common technique for synthesizing one-dimensional and multidimensional controllers for stochastic objects with delays based on ARMAX models is considered. An analysis of approaches to identifying delays in controlled objects is carried out and a method for identifying delays when using input-output models is considered, based on the calculation and comparison of impulse responses for extended and non-extended models of the controlled object. An analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of «input-output» type models is given, as well as the possibilities of their application for solving various classes of control theory problems.
CONVENÇÃO DAS PARTES SOBRE OS PODERES PROBATÓRIOS DO JUIZ: análise da validade e eficácia do negócio jurídico processual
Authors: De Albuquerque Vitor Henrique Melo
Published: December 2023

Adotando-se como marco teórico a teoria do fato jurídico capitaneada por Pontes de Miranda, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo refletir a respeito da validade e da eficácia do negócio jurídico processual que verse sobre o poder probatório de ofício atribuído ao juiz. Neste fito, com a exploração de pesquisa bibliográfica, utilizando-se do método dedutivo de pesquisa, serão colocados, lado a lado na realidade normativa brasileira, o negócio jurídico processual – o conceito jurídico fundamental e as disposições normativas a seu respeito – e a oficialidade probatória – as razões da sua realidade normativa e sua íntima relação com a questão da busca pela verdade e pelo proferimento de decisões justas –, para que, ao final, as conclusões a respeito da validade e da eficácia do referido negócio sejam obtidas.
“CONTRA O ACORDO” NOS LITÍGIOS TRABALHISTAS E PREVIDENCIÁRIOS
Authors: Hanemann Bastos Alberto Luiz
Published: December 2023

Este estudo investiga a (in)compatibilidade dos métodos consensuais de resolução de litígios com a dinâmica do Direito do Trabalho e do Direito Previdenciário. Primeiramente, esboça um panorama sobre o modo como a autocomposição tem sido abordada pelas doutrinas de Direito Processual Civil, as quais, em sua maioria, exaltam os benefícios de se promover a inserção da conciliação e da mediação no Poder Judiciário. Após, critica tal premissa teórica, indicando que a função principal da jurisdição não consiste no fomento da paz social, tampouco na harmonização dos interesses pessoais dos litigantes, mas sim na promoção de valores públicos. Assim, conclui que a autocomposição tende a não se coadunar com os desígnios do Direito do Trabalho e do Direito Previdenciário, visto que as assimetrias econômicas e informacionais havidas entre os litigantes impedem a extração de consensos livres e espontâneos.
O AGENTE DE EXECUÇÃO NO PL 6204/2019: uma análise crítica de seu monopólio na figura do tabelião de protestos
Authors: Da Costa Victor Santos , Araújo José Henrique Mouta
Published: December 2023

O presente artigo busca analisar o PL 6204/2019 de autoria da Senadora Soraya Thronicke, que visa desjudicializar a execução civil, especificamente quanto à figura do agente de execução, que pelo referido PL seria incumbido da função de realizar os atos executivos assumindo atividades que hoje são de competência do juiz, como: citação, busca por bens do devedor, penhora e atos expropriatórios. O propósito foi averiguar se a escolha do legislador em criar um monopólio para o tabelião de protestos ser o agente de execução, de modo exclusivo, impacta na efetividade ou não do procedimento previsto no PL. Para tanto, foi utilizada a metodologia hipotético dedutiva, por meio da técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica, se valendo de doutrinadores e tendo como principais referenciais teóricos Márcio Carvalho Faria, Humberto Theodoro Junior e Juliana Melazzi Andrade, que em suas respectivas obras fazem uma análise crítica acerca do PL 6204/2019 e do monopólio em torno do tabelião de protestos. Conclui-se, partindo dos estudos no tema e da análise do texto-base do PL e de seus objetivos, que a escolha em monopolizar a atividade de agente de execução na figura do tabelião de protestos não se mostra acertada e eficiente, o que poderá impactar na efetividade do procedimento executivo extrajudicial. Por fim, visando aprimorar o PL, trouxemos uma sugestão de alteração nos legitimados a exercerem a função de agente de execução, bem como no procedimento de escolha deste, a fim de resguardar a celeridade, a imparcialidade e a efetividade do PL 6204/2019.

Comparison of Pixel Size and Anatomy Information of Radiograph Digital Image using DICOM viewer and Whatsapp
Authors: Yoshandi Tengku Mohammad , Zaky Abdul , Mahfuyana Annisa
Published: December 2023

Technological advancement provides the biggest impact on the administration and information delivery system in hospitals. The adoption of a Paperless policy by hospitals demands that all activities involving information delivery to be done digitally. The availability of relevant media such as smartphones serve to support the adoption of such a policy. Patients who required the services of the Radiology Facility used to be given printed rontgen images to assist their doctors in their diagnosis, but with the emergence of digitalization, the patients are now provided with digital images that are distributed via WhatsApp. Such a method can also be applied to Radiograph interpretation, where information can be delivered remotely through the usage of PACs and/or WhatsApp. The interpretation standard for radiographs utilizes the DICOM Viewer, which means that recent social media developments offer an increased ease of access to the interpretation process by way of WhatsApp. The image that is sent via WhatsApp typically gets compressed, which consequently causes a loss of information in the image. This study aims to compare doctorâ€™s opinions and image quality viewed between WhatsApp and DICOM viewer. This study is a quanitative comparative study through documentation, observation, and data collecting questionnaire. The study found that the image that was sent using WhatsApp suffered a decrease in size and pixel quantity. Therefore, the anatomical information provided by the two radiographs were different.
The progression of human posture concept and advances in postural assessment techniques
Authors: Roggio Federico , Musumeci Giuseppe
Published: December 2023

This narrative review delves into the historical and evolutionary aspects of human bipedal upright posture, tracing its development from anthropological perspectives to modern postural analysis methods. It examines the multifaceted factors influencing the evolution of upright posture in human ancestors, challenging the notion of a singular cause. The review highlights various environmental and social hypotheses, such as the need for gathering food, self-defense, or tool use, which may have contributed to this significant evolutionary shift. The concept of posture has been interpreted differently across historical periods, reflecting the prevailing cultural and scientific understanding. From Aristotle’s view of upright posture as a divine gift to Johann Gottfried Herder’s perspective of it as a distinguishing human characteristic from animals, and to the more contemporary views of Henry and Florence Kendall, the evolution of the concept mirrors the changing paradigms in human thought. The development of methods for evaluating posture is also a key focus. The review traces the journey from the introduction of the plumb line in the 1850s, a simple yet effective tool for assessing spinal asymmetries, to the advent of the Adams test and the scoliometer, which revolutionized scoliosis diagnosis. Today, advanced techniques like rasterstereography and AI-based methods offer sophisticated, non-invasive means for detailed posture analysis, minimizing errors and maximizing efficiency. The review emphasizes the ongoing importance of posture in the context of overall health, underscoring the adage of a healthy mind in a healthy body. It illustrates how the study of posture, from its evolutionary roots to modern analytical tools, remains a vital aspect of understanding human health and well-being.
The Sumatra-Andaman Tsunami in Banda Aceh: A Linear Model for Representation
Authors: Araújo Jorge Corrêa de , Márquez Rosa García
Published: December 2023

The Sumatra-Andaman earthquake that occurred on December 26, 2004 was the second largest earthquake in the past 40 years, with a moment magnitude of 9.1 - 9.3. The rupture took place at a depth of 1.3 km along a large boundary fault between the Indian and Burma plates. The fault slip reached up to 20 meters near Banda Aceh, Sumatra Island, and was more rapid compared to the northern end between the Indian Plate and the Andaman archipelago, where landslide took almost one hour to reach from 7 to 20 meters. Based on this data and other observations, it was possible to estimate that the main tsunami originated approximately 390 km from Banda Aceh city. Although the energy transmitted by the simple harmonic waves adopted in this study was shorter than that reported by other references, it was still significant. The estimated arrival time for the tsunami in Banda Aceh using a simple model was reasonably consistent with the actual observation time. This agreement suggests that the origin region of the estimated in this study is likely within the most probable starting point of the tsunami. The wave amplitude near the coast, as estimated by the model, fell within the observed range reported by the references. The methodology developed in this study seems to be suitable for obtaining initial estimates of several important parameters involved in events of this nature.

Over 200 million women are employed across all industry sectors, with half of this number in developing countries. Their work makes a major contribution to economic progress [1] [6][7][8][9]. Previously they were low-skill and poorly paid. But today we see that the creativity and the talents of all women are an invaluable resource, which can and should be developed both for their own self-realization and for the benefit of society. Women have traditionally played an important role in the small and medium scale enterprise sector. Improving their efficiency and introducing new techniques can therefore yield large returns to women in terms of income and job creation. Women empowerment also helps to reduce poverty in our country by making women economically independent. Women empowerment thus helps in national development. The researcher expects that the findings of the study would shed light on the scenario of women empowerment in the district of Birbhum, West Bengal.

Introduction. Against the background of improvement of the main epidemiological indicators (morbidity and mortality) for tuberculosis in the Arkhangelsk region, the proportion of newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients with multidrug-resistant pathogen (MDR-TB) increased from 18.7% in 2002 to 33.8% in 2018.
The purpose of this study was the genotypic characterization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains obtained from newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients in the Arkhangelsk region in 2018.
Materials and methods. 89 M. tuberculosis strains isolated in 2018 from newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients were studied. Beijing genotype, its clusters B0/W148 and Central Asian/Russian were determined by PCR detection of the specific markers: IS6110 insertions in the dnaA-dnaN region, mutations in codons 48 of the mutT4 gene (CGG GGG) and 58 of the mutT2 gene (GGA CGA), IS6110 insertions in the Rv2664 region-Rv2665 and Rv1359-Rv1360, substitutions G A in the sigE gene. Non-Beijing strains were spoligotyped.
Results. Drug resistance was detected in 41.6% (37/89), MDR — in 33.7% of strains. In 90% (27/30) of MDR strains, resistance to rifampicin and isoniazid was due to rpoB Ser531Leu and katG Ser315Thr mutations. Following M. tuberculosis genotypes were identified: Beijing (67.4%), T (14.6%), Ural (4.5%), Haarlem (4.5%), LAM (2.3%) and CAS1-Delhi (1.1%). Among the Beijing strains, clusters Central-Asian/Russian (60%; 36/60) and B0/W148 (30%; 18/60) prevailed. The majority of MDR strains belonged to the Beijing family (93.3%; 28/30), of which 64.3% (18/28) and 21.4% (6/28) belonged to clusters B0/W148 and Central-Asian/Russian, respectively.
Conclusion. In heterogeneous population of the causative agent of tuberculosis in the Arkhangelsk region, the most common strains were those of the Beijing genotype; in 2018 its share increased to 67.4% (40.4% in 1998–1999). Among MDR strains, the proportion of Beijing reached 93.3%, of which more than half (64.3%) belonged to the epidemiologically and clinically significant in Russia cluster B0/W148.
“Perché proprio Napoleone?”: Neue Lebensansichten eines Katers come prima riscrittura femminista nell’opera di Christa Wolf
Authors: Mitidieri Carmen
Published: December 2023

Il racconto di Christa Wolf Neue Lebensansichten eines Katers viene solitamente interpretato come una satira socio-scientifica rivolta contro le aspirazioni tecnocratiche della DDR e all'interno della quale le donne non rivestono che un ruolo marginale. Spostando invece l'attenzione sui personaggi femminili del racconto, l'articolo vuole mostrare le strategie letterarie adottate dall'autrice al fine di mettere in discussione e sovvertire le dinamiche di potere operanti nella definizione dei ruoli di genere. Da una simile analisi risulterà infine evidente la rilevanza del testo all'interno del costante percorso di autoconsapevolezza che culminerà nella stesura di Kassandra e di Medea.
Crossing the Borders between Meter, Syntax and Information Structure. Some Methodological Notes
Authors: De Bastiani Chiara
Published: December 2023

This paper discusses how combining research in meter, syntax and information structure can enhance our understanding of the syntax of a given historical text and help provide insights into the relation between metrical prominence and information structure. The contribution illustrates two case studies conducted on historical English texts: the Old English Beowulf and the Early Middle English Ormulum. I argue that integrating an investigation of meter into the study of both information structure and syntax can refine the methodological tools available to the historical linguist and philologist.
La duplice visione: miyabi e dimensione politica nella sezione 81 dell’Ise monogatari
Authors: Fraccaro Francesca
Published: December 2023

Current interpretations of section 81of the Ise monogatari read it as a representation of the concept of miyabi (courtliness), defined as an ideal sphere of elegance divorced from worldly matters and political intrigues. Taking issue with nonpolitical views of the Ise Stories entailed in such readings, this paper shows how, through its narrative contextualization and the historical background evoked by its setting, the poem recited in this episode takes on political overtones. While on surface the story depicts an ideal sphere of disengagement from the political arena, the very form of unworldly refinement it centers on, the composition of waka, also functions as a vehicle of covert criticism of the Fujiwaras’ regime and a plea for virtuous government.

The Clementine novel (written in the 4th century CE and set in the 1st century CE) incorporates a palette of comic features. Using the “Taxonomy of ” and the “Script Theory” developed by Attardo and Raskin within the framework of the General Theory of Verbal Humour, this essay examines some of these comic features, focussing on the so called “meta-textual comic” –  i.e., the comic effect that uses a manipulation of the plot’s structure  to elicit laughter from the reader.
Pietro e Simon Mago sul confine tra miracolo e magia nelle omelie in inglese antico
Authors: Riviello Carla
Published: December 2023

In the Old English homiletic tradition, the apocryphal material relating to the struggle between Peter and Simon Magus offers a useful paradigm for representing the boundary between miracle and magic. Drawing mainly from the codification proposed in the Passio sanctorum apostolorum Petri et Pauli, the anonymous author of the Blickling Homily XV, Ælfric and Wulfstan exploit the unstable fluidity of a narrative that can be expanded or narrowed infinitely through additions and subtractions of episodes and dialogues, in rewriting their homilies. The article aims to identify the significant elements useful to highlight the different attitudes assumed by the three homileticians with respect to the subject matter, from the “simple” translation of the Blickling Homily to Ælfric’s reworking to Wulfstan’s exemplum.
Biografie rivisitate. Il caso Yeats-Ellis
Authors: Antonielli Arianna
Published: December 2023

After collaborating on The Works of William Blake. Poetic, Symbolic, and Critical (1893), William Butler Yeats and Edwin John Ellis individually published additional volumes on William Blake. These editions trace the contours of each editor’s unique approach to William Blake’s works, revealing a fascinating tension between mysticism and scholarship. The apparent clash of their perspectives not only influenced the selection and interpretation of Blake’s poetry, but also interestingly shaped their biographies of Blake. The current essay looks at Yeats and Ellis’ distinct authorial intent, taking their biographies of Blake as case studies to outline the growing controversy between the two editors. This divergence highlights the multifaceted nature of Blake’s legacy and the ongoing debate on the most appropriate lens through which to view his life and work.
Magic and Law at the Border. The Early Medieval Leges
Authors: Fruscione Daniela
Published: December 2023

This article focuses on the concerns of the authorities as shown in the provisions on witchcraft and magic contained in the Romano-Germanic laws enacted from the sixth century (leges). These provisions shed light on what was prohibited and what was designated as magic; however, the attitude of the authorities towards magic and witchcraft was not univocal, mainly because of the religious and ethnic bipolarism underlying early European legislation on magic. Early medieval laws allow observing the formal expression of areas through which public concerns over the practice of magic operated. In most leges the use of magic was not punished as a religious offence, but rather for its destabilizing aspect regarding the social order. Moreover, the Church’s attitude towards magic was not monolithic: the official Church coexisted with local magical customs. The early medieval leges confirm that magic is a category dependent on the perceiver, encompassing practices and beliefs that border on other features of human experience, such as religion and law itself.
«Perché tutto nel vuoto precipiti»: macerie, rovine e cemento nell’opera di Fortini
Authors: Diaco Francesco
Published: December 2023

This article aims to identify the different functions of debris in Franco Fortini’s works. Wartime devastation is filtered through an apocalyptic-messianic nexus that reverses destruction into palingenesis; on the contrary, during the post-war period the remains of bombed buildings quickly disappear, walled up by reconstruction, the Cold War and the economic boom. As Fortini’s writings are more and more influenced by Bertolt Brecht, the images of slow and secret decay become an allegory of the value of poetry and the intrinsic contradictions of neo-capitalism, in the expectation of its possible, but not inevitable, fall. After recalling the philosophy of history underlying the recurrence of these motifs, I investigate the author’s interpretation of rubble in the last decades of his life, from his encouragement to the good use of ruins to the paradoxical wishes of Composita solvantur.
Macerie, resti, residui nella poesia di Fabio Pusterla
Authors: Stroppa Sabrina
Published: December 2023

Starting from the conceptual distinction between ruin and rubble, the article investigates and categorizes the recurring forms of residuality in Fabio Pusterla’s work in verse, tracing the essential coordinates of a poetics of the residue and of a “theory of the rest”. In fact, the natural landscape, devoid of any composure or coherence in its presentation, is in solidarity with the anthropic residue, for which the waste and debris of human passage are the signals and fragments that the eye tirelessly captures and enhances, predisposing them to be inhabited by language. At the heart of Pusterla’s poetic gesture it therefore seems possible to identify a practice of language that knows how to keep the relationship with time open, and therefore with the narrative, projecting a tale of origins, with its ancestral nobility, towards a looming future.
L.S. Petruševskaja nello specchio di vita e arte: la «scrittrice con una biografia»
Authors: Marcucci Giulia
Published: December 2023

The literary work by L. Petruševskaja can be compared to the thick forest full of intertwining branches with which the memoir The Girl from the Metropole begins. Untangling this labyrinth is not easy, due to the variety of genres covered by the author and the hostile work of Soviet censorship, which only allowed the publication of the short stories, plays and fairytales with continuity after Perestroika. The fact that this memoir was written and published in 2006, i.e. long after the 1938-1948 decade, and especially almost forty years after Petrushevskaya’s debut at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s, is only an apparent paradox. Indeed, there is no doubt that the largely traumatic experience of childhood required a lengthy reworking, as well as an appropriate cultural context, before it could be shared with readers. The hypothesis from which this contribution moves is that the memoir, together with other autobiographical novels and essays from the 2000s, can be seen not so much as a ‘landing point’, but rather as a pivot around which a critical reinterpretation of the work of the Russian narrator and playwright develops. Thus, proceeding from autobiographical prose and non-fiction, and back through theatre and fairytales, this contribution offers the Italian reader a partial presentation of Petrushevskaya’s work and poetics in relation to her life and the history of an entire country.
Betocchi, de Libero e la Ciociaria (con un’appendice di lettere inedite degli anni Sessanta)
Authors: Venturi Francesco
Published: December 2023

Through a review of previously undisclosed documents, the essay reconstructs the relationship between Carlo Betocchi and Libero de Libero and examines their literary works throughout the 1950s and 1960s. It notably highlights Betocchi’s ties with Salento intellectuals, which culminated in the publication of Vetturale di Cosenza ovvero Viaggio meridionale («I quaderni del Critone» 1959). This concise collection includes poems crafted during a journey from Florence to Cosenza in November 1957, encompassing Ciociaria, de Libero’s native region. Additionally, the essay presents unpublished correspondence between Betocchi and de Libero, featuring five letters from Betocchi and eight from de Libero, shedding light on the genesis and composition of Betocchi’s Vino di Ciociaria. Initially drafted during the 1957 journey, this poem was subsequently included in a chapbook edited by de Libero under the same title in 1965.

Published: December 2023

kastengel is a dry cake made from wheat flour. Wheat flour contains a protein called gluten. However, there are some people who cannot consume gluten, so a substitution of wheat flour is needed. Tempe is a food made from soybeans which does not contain gluten, so tempeh can be processed into flour to replace wheat flour. The use of tempe flour as a substitute for wheat flour will certainly be healthier, because it is free of gluten. In addition, tempeh is affordable and can add variety to the processing of tempeh. This study with 30 respondents aimed to find out whether tempe flour could be used as a raw material in processed kastengel cakes and to determine the preference level of tempe flour kastengel based on aspects of taste, aroma, color and texture. The analytical method used is the hedonic test with 4 levels of assessment (Very Like, Like, Dislike, Strongly Dislike) and also uses a sensory test. Data analysis was carried out through questionnaires and interviews with respondents. From the results of the hedonic test and sensory test, the taste aspect gets the Very Like category with an average value of 3.8; the color aspect and the texture aspect get the Very Like category with an average value of 3.7; and the aroma aspect gets the Like category with an average value of 3.47. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that tempeh castor flour can be used as the basic ingredient for making kastengel and is preferred by respondents based on aspects of taste, aroma, color and texture.

Red bean flour is a type of legume that has many benefits for the body, it's just that its use is not optimal. In this experiment, the researchers innovated noodles by changing the main ingredient with red bean flour. This study aims to find out, 1) How to properly process red bean flour in processed red bean noodles. 2) Can red bean flour be used as a substitute for wheat flour in making noodles. 3) How is the consumer response to aspects of taste, color, texture and aroma of red bean flour noodles. Data collection methods used by researchers are questionnaires, literature studies, and interviews. The test method in this study uses organoleptic testing and the data obtained will have problems in the frequency distribution of the data. The results showed that the cooking methods and procedures for red bean flour noodles and wheat flour noodles had differences. This difference is based on processing methods and processing procedures. The first experiment required an additional ingredient as an adhesive, the second experiment had good results but required an adhesive other than wheat flour, the third experiment required an unsuitable adhesive material, the fourth experiment required the addition of the composition of the ingredients, changes in cooking methods and procedures. The fifth experiment of noodles produced was good and fulfilled standard noodles in general. Based on the results of organoleptic testing of noodles in this study, the taste assessment of wheat flour noodles has a rating of 3.1. while the taste assessment of red bean flour noodles was 3. The assessment of the color aspect of wheat flour noodles had a rating of 2.9. while the color assessment of red bean flour noodles was 2.6. Assessment of the texture aspect of wheat flour noodles has a rating of 2.9. while the texture assessment of red bean flour noodles was 2.8. Assessment of the aroma aspect of wheat flour noodles has a rating of 2.9. while the aroma rating of red bean flour noodles is 3. From the assessment above, in terms of quality, the aspects of taste, color, aroma, texture of red flour noodles are the same as wheat flour noodles.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder marked by sudden recurrent episodes of sensory disturbance, loss of consciousness, or convulsions, associated with abnormal electrical activity in the brain. The incidence of epilepsy is highest during childhood, especially for children aged 0 - 14 years. The goal of the study is find out the prescribing pattern of antiepileptic drugs in different types of seizure disorder in children. An educational observational study was carried out among 55 samples in the In-patient Department of Pediatrics, in a tertiary care teaching hospital, Bangalore. The data was collected by using self-designed data collection form. All information’s were processed and analyzed by using Microsoft excel. In the present study, breakthrough seizures was the most commonly observed type of seizure followed by simple febrile seizure. The most commonly prescribed antiepileptic drug was levetiracetam, followed by clobazam in monotherapy. Majority of the patients were prescribed with monotherapy followed by dual therapy. Levetiracetam + Clobazam, Levetiracetam + Sodium valproate and Levetiracetam + Phenytoin was the most preferred combination. Drug use pattern of Antiepileptic Drugs was described based on WHO prescription indicators, which shows out of 55 sample size, average number of drugs per encounter was 0.5, 44% of injections were encountered, antibiotics prescribed were 0%, drug prescribed based on generic name were 54% and 93% of drug was encountered based on essential drug list. Antiepileptic prescribing in this study population was only 56% in accordance to the ILAE treatment guidelines for epilepsy.

The coherent study evaluated the influence of Pay Differentials on Employee Performance in Mitooma District in Western Uganda. The inquiry study employed an assessment correlational and descriptive research approach with a quantitative viewpoint model. A sample of 385 participants were carefully chosen from 1058 individuals using a table advanced by Morgan & Kreijcie (1970). Data was garnered by means of questionnaires to compose an opinion survey. The scholar gathered information from the arena using simple random sampling and stratified random sampling tactics. Data was appraised using Descriptive statistics such as Means, Standard Deviation and Inferential Statistics such as Pearson linear correlation coefficient (PLCC) for quantitative magnitudes. The study outcomes came up with a significant association between Pay Differentials and Employee Performance in Mitooma District in Western Uganda. The research project concluded that Pay differential is an important concept in the HR world as it helps to ensure that employees are being fairly compensated for their work. Pay differential is a form of pay compensation that is used to recognize the differences in skill and knowledge levels, experience, and other factors that may affect the value of an employee's work. It is used to reward employees for their higher levels of knowledge, skill, experience, and other factors that may make them more valuable to the organization. From the research hard work findings, the academic expert recommended that Government of Uganda should augment on the budget meant to pay salaries of its workers and that people with similar qualifications, doing similar jobs should be paid the same amount of money in terms of salary or salary scales. This can be an impetus for better performance in Government Agencies, Departments and Ministries. It can be observed that such a scenario may expendite the process of growth and development in the country at large.
