Published: January 2025

Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) has witnessed significant development, with a growing number of university learners relying on their mobile devices for language learning. However, limited research has been conducted on the influence of demographics, including age, gender, and university level, on students' perceptions of MALL. Addressing this research gap, the current study was conducted at the University of Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah, in Morocco, focusing on English department students. The study employed a quantitative approach, utilizing a questionnaire to collect data from 164 students. Through the examination of variables such as gender, age, and university level, the findings indicated that gender did not significantly impact students' acceptance of MALL while age and university level emerged as influential factors in shaping students' preferences. These findings highlight the potential effectiveness of MALL as a language learning tool. The results are particularly relevant for informing policymakers considering the implementation of MALL-based systems in higher education. Furthermore, educators are invited to consider their student cohorts' diverse age and university-level characteristics and adapt MALL activities accordingly.

A longitudinal entomological survey of malaria vectors was carried out aiming to assess the transmission risk factors with regard to housing types at the rice irrigation community of Auyo LGA. The study was carried out in 32 households from March 2017 to February 2018. Adult mosquitoes were collected from the selected residential houses using the Pyrethrum spray collection method. The Human biting rate, sporozoite and entomological inoculation rates (EIR) were calculated based on common housing type and three seasons of the collection period. A total of 3,998 female Anopheline mosquitoes were collected. The most abundant species was Anopheles gambiae sl, (94.5%) followed by An. Funestus (4.5%) and other minor spp (1%) including An. pharoensis and An. coustani. Members of An. gambaie complex was analysed by PCR and An. coluzzi accounts for about 92.3%, An. gambiae ss 3.9% and An. arabiensis 3.7%. The human biting rate was highest in the thatch houses (22.64), compared to Mud and concrete houses with 10.6 and 2.4 respectively. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) yielded 64 positive results which account for a sporozoite rate of 0.11(11%). The rates of infection by Plasmodium species in mosquitoes and Entomological Inoculation Rate (EIR) were higher in thatch and mud houses compared to concrete houses. The estimated cumulative infective bites per person per year was (138) in thatch, (74) in mud and (0) in concrete house (p- 0.001). Based on these findings, it is recommended that malaria control may be achieved by introducing mosquito-proofed housing and good environmental management.

Published: January 2025

This study investigated the prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis among primary school pupils in Bindawa Local Government Area (LGA), Katsina State, Nigeria. A total of 500 pupils from 12 randomly selected schools participated in the study conducted between October and December 2023. Urine samples were collected and microscopically examined for Schistosoma haematobium. Prevalence rates were statistically analysed with significance set at p ≤ 0.05. The overall prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis was higher among males (38.2%) compared to females (24.3%). Age-specific prevalence was highest among pupils aged 11–15 years (36.5%), followed by those aged 6–10 years (33.6%) and 1–5 years (30.7%). The primary risk factors for infection included contact with streams (47.7%) and wells (27.8%), with activities like irrigation (46.6%) and catching fish (36.2%) posing significant exposure risks. Frequency of water body visits, history of travel, and lack of awareness about schistosomiasis were also associated with increased infection rates. Structured questionnaires revealed limited knowledge of the disease's curability and preventive measures. History of haematuria (33.8%) and Praziquantel administration (33.9%) highlighted the ongoing challenges in disease control. The findings underscore the persistent burden of urinary schistosomiasis in the study area and the need for improved hygiene practices, provision of safe drinking water, effective sanitation, and health education. Targeted interventions such as regular deworming with Praziquantel and public awareness campaigns are crucial to mitigating the risk of infection among school-aged children.

Published: January 2025

Copyright and trademarks are aspects of intellectual property rights (IPR) with different protection concepts and objectives. Copyright aims to protect creations in the fields of art, literature, and science, whereas trademarks aim to protect distinguishing signs of goods and/or services marketed. This research aims to identify, examine, and analyse legal protection for photographers concerning portraits used in trademarks. This study employs normative legal research methods using statutory and case law approaches. The results indicate that legal protection for photographers is regulated in Article 1, Points 1 and 10, Articles 5, and 9 of Law No. 28 of 2014, and Article 21, paragraph (2), letter a of Law No. 20 of 2016. This protection encompasses moral rights and economic rights, which are granted automatically once the creation is expressed in a tangible form that can be seen, read, or heard. Thus, a portrait included in a trademark never loses its exclusive right as copyrighted material. Commercial use by other parties must be based on permission from the creator or copyright holder.
ABUSE AUTHORITY BY THE VILLAGE HEAD REGARDING LAND CASH VILLAGE FROM PERSPECTIVE LAW ADMINISTRATION GOVERNMENT
Authors: Sayekti Lady , Erna Sri Wibawanti  , Endang Sulistyaningsih
Published: January 2025

From the perspective of government administrative law, the protection of Village Treasury Land due to the village head's negligence is a serious violation of law. Village treasury land is a village asset that must be managed well to improve the welfare of village communities and increase village income. However, village treasury land is often converted and sold unilaterally for personal purposes, such as building a residence or housing built on village treasury land. This is a violation of government administrative law because the management of village treasury land is part of public law, which discusses government power in general and village government in particular. The Village Head, as the holder of management power, must manage the Village Treasury Land based on the Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia No. 01 of 2016 concerning Village Asset Management. In managing Village Treasury Land, the Village Head must coordinate with the Village Consultative Body (BPD) to improve the welfare of the Village community and increase Village income. Therefore, the protection of Village Treasury Land due to the Village Head's negligence is a violation of government administrative law that must be followed up.
ANALYSIS OF MARRIAGE REGISTRATION IN GAMPONG ASAM PEUTEK WITHOUT PRECEDING RAFA' FROM A JURIDICAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Nur Asiyah  , Fatimah
Published: January 2025

Marriage registration is the administrative data collection on marriages handled by marriage registrar officers with the aim of creating legal order. This research shows that regulations regarding examining marriage documents are regulated in Minister of Religion Regulation Number 19 of 2018 concerning Marriage Registration. Because checking documents is one of the processes of registering a marriage. However, the examination of this document is administrative in nature, so it does not determine whether a marriage is valid or not. The type of research carried out by the author is field research using qualitative methods, while the data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and documentation. The analysis used is an inductive method, namely by presenting specific empirical facts from the research results and then ending with general conclusions. From this research it can be concluded that marriage registration was not carried out in accordance with existing laws and regulations. However, this is not a benchmark for whether a marriage is valid or not because document checks are administrative in nature. It's just that in the case of marriage registration, the documents were not checked, which is one of the stages of marriage registration. Examination of marriage documents, commonly called rafak, aims to ensure the suitability of the data of the prospective bride and groom and also that there are no obstacles to carrying out the marriage.

Pasal 65 ayat (1) UUPA memuat norma yang mengatur pelaksanaan pilkada di daerah adalah 5 tahun sekali, namun terdapat ketentuan nasional yang diatur berdasarkan Pasal 201 ayat (3) dan (8) UU 10/2016 Jo. UU No. 6 Tahun 2020, menyatakan kepala daerah hasil pemilihan 2017 akan berakhir masa jabatan di tahun 2022 dan pilkada dilaksanakan secara serentak nasional pada bulan november 2024. Ketentuan tersebut memperlihatkan adanya kontradiktif norma apabila merujuk kepada siklus pelaksanaan Pilkada di Aceh, yang sebelumnya diselenggarakan pada tahun 2017 maka seharusnya diselenggarakan kembali pada tahun 2022. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan undang-undang (statue approach). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara yuridis, norma pasal 65 ayat (1) UUPA merupakan norma yang sifatnya lex spesialis, namun dapat dikesampingkan apabila memenuhi syarat legal formal yang diatur pada Pasal 8 ayat (2) UUPA. Atas dasar tidak terpenuhinya syarat legal formil untuk melaksanakan pilkada secara serentak pada 2024, seharusnya berdasarkan ketentuan lex spesialis maka pilkada di Aceh hendakanya tetap dilaksanakan berdasarkan siklus pilkada yang ditentuakan oleh UUPA yaitu pada tahun 2022
PENERAPAN PERAMPASAN ASET SEBAGAI PIDANA TAMBAHAN DALAM PEMBERANTASAN TINDAK PIDANA KORUPSI DI INDONESIA
Authors: Dina Desvita Pramesti Putri
Published: January 2025

Perampasan aset merupakan salah satu instrumen penting dalam penegakan hukum terhadap tindak pidana korupsi, yang bertujuan untuk memulihkan kerugian negara dan mencegah pelaku kejahatan menikmati hasil dari tindakan ilegal. Dalam konteks ini, mekanisme pembalikan beban pembuktian menjadi relevan, di mana pemilik aset diharuskan untuk membuktikan asal usul kekayaannya. Meskipun demikian, tantangan muncul ketika pemilik aset tidak dapat membuktikan keabsahan kepemilikan, yang seharusnya tidak menjadi dasar untuk menuntut individu dalam perkara korupsi.
Agar penegakan hukum dalam kasus korupsi lebih efektif, diperlukan reformasi dalam sistem sanksi, dengan menempatkan perampasan aset sebagai sanksi pokok yang bersifat imperatif, bukan sekadar sanksi tambahan yang fakultatif. Dengan demikian, kepastian hukum dalam proses perampasan aset dapat terwujud, mendukung upaya pemberantasan korupsi, dan memastikan pengembalian kerugian negara secara optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi mekanisme perampasan aset dalam konteks hukum pidana di Indonesia, serta memberikan rekomendasi untuk perbaikan sistem hukum yang lebih responsif dan adil.
THE COMPLEXITY OF REGULATING INDEPENDENT REGIONAL HEAD CANDIDATES IN ACEH
Authors: Muhammad Yus Sulthan , Muhammad Ridwansyah
Published: January 2025

This article wishes to highlight that the arrangement of individual candidates has been given space by Law Number 11 of 2006 concerning Aceh Governance. The issue of this gift is that after the conflict, several GAM combatants expressed their desire to advance as regional heads in Aceh; this has also been seen in the draft of the Helsinki MoU. GAM will nominate representatives to participate fully in politics in Aceh after the formation of local political parties. So, on the basis of this construction, individual candidates are adopted in Article 67, paragraph (1), of Law Number 11 of 2006. But on the other hand, individual candidates are also allowed in other regions even though the percentage is different. Article 41, paragraph (1), of Law Number 10 of 2016. The two regulations regarding individual candidates in the laws and regulations in Indonesia overlap if implemented in Aceh. There should be a simulation of the two arrangements so that the KIP Aceh district/city technical level is not mistaken.
THE CONCEPT AND LEGAL POLITICS OF DISCRETION AS FREEDOM OF ACTION FOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
Authors: PURWANTO DEDI , Abdul Aziz Nasihuddin  , Siti Kunarti
Published: January 2025

Government administration encompasses, at the very least, the procedures involved in decision-making and/or actions taken by government bodies and/or officials. This is closely related to the legal policy within the Omnibus Law on Job Creation. Therefore, the Omnibus Law on Government Administration is one of the 79 laws amended through the Omnibus Law on Job Creation. Through the Omnibus Law on Job Creation, the requirement for discretion to be "not contrary to the provisions of the legislation" was eliminated. The removal of this requirement renders discretion no longer bound by statutory provisions, potentially violating statutory provisions in the name of discretion. This paper represents normative legal research or library research, using a statute approach and a conceptual approach. This paper concludes that the concept and legal policy behind the change in discretion requirements in the Omnibus Law on Job Creation provide leeway for government officials and/or administrative bodies to address public service issues. However, this is in contradiction with the general theory and purpose of discretion itself.
Integrating Intelligent Web Scraping Techniques in Internship Management Systems: Enhancing Internship Matching
Authors: Mydyti Hyrmet , Ware Andrew
Published: January 2025

The study explores the integration of intelligent web scraping techniques to enhance the internship matching process within internship management systems. The increasing demand for internships necessitates timely and efficient intern matching, a task that conventional manual techniques need help with due to its complexity and time-consuming nature. Intelligent web scraping algorithms and machine learning techniques analyze extensive datasets to match interns with businesses based on competencies, interests, and professional objectives. The integration leverages natural language processing to extract relevant information from internship listings and candidate profiles, enhancing the precision and effectiveness of the matching process. Additionally, clustering and matching algorithms refine recommendations, pairing students with opportunities that fit their competencies and career objectives. However, implementing intelligent web scraping raises ethical concerns, particularly regarding data privacy and algorithmic bias. Ensuring the ethical utilization of these techniques is critical for fair and unbiased internship matching. The research addresses these ethical considerations while proposing a framework for integrating intelligent web scraping into existing systems. The study reviews the literature on web scraping and machine learning in internship management, critically analyzing and synthesizing past research findings to demonstrate the efficacy of these techniques over conventional methods. The study also introduces a theoretical model for effective internship matching, investigating intelligent web scraping and machine learning techniques to optimize the process. Additionally, it examines the benefits, challenges, and limitations of integrating these techniques. The proposed intelligent web scraping approach simplifies internship matching, aligns student strengths with opportunities, enhances onboarding efficiency, and bridges academic learning with practical application.

Published: January 2025

This paper presents a novel framework designed to enhance the certification of real estate ownership and transactions through the integration of Ethereum blockchain technology, Near Field Communication (NFC), and smart contracts. The proposed architecture establishes a secure, transparent, and efficient digital certificate management system by leveraging immutable blockchain records, decentralized document storage via the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), and NFC paper tags for effective physical-to-digital integration. The implementation employs encryption keys, Quick Response (QR) codes, and NFC tags to ensure data integrity and accessibility. A user-centric design has been developed to accommodate various stakeholders, including property owners, buyers, notaries, and land registry officials. This solution significantly improves upon traditional real estate transaction methods by facilitating end-to-end digital transactions, enhancing transparency and traceability, and substantially reducing the risk of fraud. By empowering participants to execute transactions and update records on a decentralized platform, this system fosters increased trust and operational efficiency within the Albanian real estate market. Furthermore, the design ensures compatibility with existing tax and payment procedures, providing a seamless transition for all stakeholders involved. The findings of this project aim not only to revolutionize real estate practices in Albania, but also to offer a scalable model for global implementation. By addressing the challenges associated with property certification and transactions, this innovative system contributes to a safer, more transparent, and efficient real estate environment. This framework is characterized by legal compliance, enhanced traceability, and robust fraud prevention mechanisms, ultimately paving the way for a modernized approach to real estate management in Albania and beyond.
Impact of Radial Grounding Model Granularity on Directivity of 433 MHz Monopole Antennas with Flat and Inclined Radials for ISM IoT Applications
Authors: Li Jinfeng , Zhou Haolin
Published: January 2025

Grounding is a critical factor in the performance of quarter-wave monopole antennas. Previous studies have explored finite, continuous grounding configurations with one- and two-dimensional variations in size for a 433 MHz vertical monopole antenna, identifying optimal geometries that maximize directivity while minimizing material costs and grounding size. However, these findings are not directly applicable to mission-critical environments (e.g., space, airborne, underwater, or ground-based applications) where continuous metallic grounding may be unavailable. This study extends the investigation to discretized grounding configurations, specifically employing radial monopoles formed by metal rods arranged in sparse or dense radial patterns. Both flat planar and inclined configurations of radial rods are analysed, with a focus on understanding the influence of design parameters, such as radial length and inclination angle, on antenna directivity and radiation patterns—key factors affecting signal reception in wireless communication systems, particularly in applications such as the internet of things (IoT). Using the Method of Moments (MoM) for simulation, the study provides practical guidelines for optimizing the design of 433 MHz monopole antennas constrained by finite and discrete grounding structures. The results indicate that an elevated radial configuration, consisting of five radials inclined at 5° from the monopole plane (equivalent to 85° from the horizontal plane) with a radial length of 2.5 meters, achieves a directivity of 9.23 dBi at 433 MHz. This represents a significant improvement over the flat planar configuration, which achieves a directivity of 6.23 dBi under the same conditions. These findings are particularly relevant for mobile communication, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and radiofrequency (RF) systems requiring high performance from vertical monopole antennas in challenging grounding environments

Published: January 2025

Relevance. Primary headaches are currently one of the most common neurological diseases, and the role of sex hormones in their occurrence has been proven.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the levels of sex hormones (estradiol and testosterone) in the blood of patients with various clinical forms of migraine during an attack and outside of an attack.

Materials and methods. The study included 60 patients aged 18–45 years with migraine, who formed the main group. Each patient in the main group was diagnosed according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, Third Revision (ICHD3). The control group consisted of 15 practically healthy individuals, comparable in age with the main group, who did not suffer from migraine. The study was conducted inpatient and outpatient in a multidisciplinary clinic of the Center for Advanced Professional Development of Medical Workers, the clinical base of the Department of Neurology and Medical Psychology of the Tashkent Medical Academy.

Results. The study examined the concentration of sex hormones – testosterone and estradiol – in the blood serum of female and male patients with migraine with and without aura during an attack and outside of an attack, and compared the obtained values with the results of studies in the control group. The level of estradiol is higher in women and men with migraine with aura, which affects the duration and intensity of attacks. In women with migraine without aura, the level of estradiol in the blood decreases in the 1st phase of the menstrual cycle, and its normal value in the 2nd phase is associated with the duration of the headache attack. No statistically significant change in testosterone levels was noted.

Conclusions. Our data can be used for considering the possibility of hormonal therapy as a preventive measure against headache attacks in patients with various clinical forms of migraine.

The study included 58 patients divided into two groups: the first group (n = 30) received botulinum therapy, while the second group (n = 28) underwent electrotherapy combined with botulinum therapy. Pain severity was assessed before treatment, and at 1 and 3 months after therapy initiation.

Results. After a month of treatment, in group II there was a significant decrease in the frequency of headache attacks, cervicalgia and the number of analgesics taken compared to group I. After 3 months, scores continued to improve, with no significant difference between groups.

Conclusions. The combined use of electrotherapy and botulinum therapy effectively reduces pain at all stages of observation.

Published: January 2025

Objective: to summarize the clinical experience of the antipsychotic brexpiprazole in the treatment of schizophrenia spectrum disorders in a psychiatric hospital.

Materials and Methods. A group of 26 patients (16 women; 61.5%) aged 19 to 64 years (mean age 35.73±9.33) with leading delusional, hallucinatorydelusional, manic-delusional, depressive-delusional or depressive-paranoid symptomatology constituted the study material. Patients were followed up for 6 weeks after brexpiprazole administration. The severity of psychotic symptomatology was assessed by selected items of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Rating Scale (PANSS). The General Clinical Impression Scale (CGI) was used for objective assessment of the patients' condition: the severity of condition subscale (CGI-S) and the mental status dynamics subscale (CGI–I). Patients' satisfaction with therapy was assessed in the dynamics of treatment and after the end of the follow-up period.

Results. Brexpiprazole was administered both on admission to hospital (65.4%) and after prior antipsychotic therapy (34.6%). The range of maximum doses was 2 to 4 mg per day. Side reactions were registered in 3 cases (11.5%), and only in one case it required withdrawal of the drug. Statistically significant improvement of mental state by the 7th day of therapy was registered for the majority of PANSS items (Delirium, Suspiciousness, Agitation, Anxiety, Tension, Aggressiveness). A statistically significant decrease in the severity of mental state according to CGI was observed from the second week of therapy. A distinct dynamics of change of attitude to therapy towards positive attitude to therapy was established (p=0,029).

Conclusions: clinical experience of brexpiprazole use in psychiatric inpatient settings demonstrated good results both in terms of therapy efficacy and safety, which allows us to evaluate the drug as promising for use in the treatment of psychotic exacerbations and maintenance therapy of patients with schizophrenia and schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

Authors: Hafifah Ifa , Rahmi Siti , Nasution Tina Handayani
Published: January 2025

Aims: Families of patients in intensive care units (ICUs) face significant psychological and emotional challenges, with diverse needs spanning assurance, information, proximity, support, and comfort. Understanding and addressing these needs is crucial for enhancing family well-being and satisfaction with ICU care.
Objective: This study aims to synthesize existing evidence on the needs of ICU patients’ families, identify priority domains, and explore factors influencing these needs.
Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Searches across PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, and PsycINFO identified studies published between January 2015 and December 2024. Inclusion criteria focused on peer-reviewed articles addressing the emotional, informational, or practical needs of ICU patients’ families. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools. Thematic synthesis was applied for qualitative data, while quantitative findings were analyzed descriptively.
Results: From 11 studies, assurance emerged as the most critical need across diverse populations, followed by information, proximity, support, and comfort. Sociodemographic factors such as age, education level, and gender, as well as contextual factors like cultural norms and length of ICU stay, significantly influenced family needs. Assurance and information were universally prioritized, while proximity and support varied based on regional and cultural contexts.
Conclusion: ICU families’ needs are multidimensional and influenced by individual, clinical, and sociocultural factors. Assurance and information consistently rank as top priorities, highlighting the need for family-centered, culturally sensitive care strategies. Tailored interventions, effective communication, and policies facilitating family presence can address these needs and improve family satisfaction. Future research should explore real-time strategies and the role of technology in meeting family needs.

Objek: Mendeskripsikan berdasarkan teori dan peraturan perundang-undangan yang ada tentang kedudukan pihak-pihak yang telah melakukan jual beli, tetapi peralihannya belum sempurna dan penguasaan fisik harta benda.
Metode: Kajian ini menggunakan bentuk hukum normatif. Tipologi penelitian ini adalah deskriptif-analitik. Jenis data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder. Metode analisis data penelitian menggunakan metode analisis data kualitatif.
Hasil: Sertifikat Hak Milik berfungsi sebagai alat pembuktian kepemilikan hak atas tanah, meskipun pemegang hak tidak memiliki penguasaan yang konkrit atas fisik obyek hak atas tanah. Sedangkan dalam jual beli yang peralihan haknya tidak tuntas, pembeli harus dilindungi dengan itikad baik, meskipun di kemudian hari ternyata penjual adalah orang yang tidak berhak. Pemilik asal hanya dapat mengajukan gugatan ganti rugi kepada penjual yang tidak berhak.
Kesimpulan: Dalam upaya penertiban administrasi pertanahan perlu ditumbuh kembangkan kesadaran pendaftaran tanah di masyarakat dan digalakkannya sosialisasi secara terus menerus agar tercapai kesepakatan jual beli.
Criminal Responsibility for Land Mafia Crimes
Authors: Armando Robertus Dicky
Published: January 2025

Background: Land mafia crimes which sometimes involve State Civil Apparatus (ASN) occur at the central and regional levels. When ASN is involved in land mafia crimes, the form of accountability that is required is not only administrative but must be held criminally accountable.
 Objective: of this research is to find a juridical basis for seeking criminal responsibility for ASN who commit land mafia crimes.
 Method: used is normative research which focuses on the criminal responsibility of ASN in land mafia crimes. This research uses a literary, historical and conceptual approach in this study by looking at the conflict of norms in the use of statutory regulations.
 Results: Criminal liability for State Civil Apparatus (ASN) who commit land mafia crimes is not only emphasized on the element of participation offenses listed in article 55 of the Criminal Code, but criminal liability also refers to office crimes in accordance with the provisions of articles 421 and 424 of the Criminal Code. This is done because it refers to criminal acts committed by ASN that have elements of abuse of authority.
Conclusion: The criminal sanction received by ASN if they are proven to have problems with land mafia crimes is dismissal. This actually does not provide justice and certainty, so progressive law is introduced to look at the value of justice contained in the law and contained in society so that ASN still gets their rights.
Blaga: Piously, on Race
Authors:   Babes-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca, Petreu Marta
Published: January 2025

The present study analyzes the attitude showed by Lucian Blaga (1895–1961) in the 1930s and early 1940s in regard to the racial theory so fashionable in Europe at that time. Blaga rejected Huston Stewart Chamberlain’s position on races, based on a biological reasoning. By analogy with his own philosophy of culture, at that time still under development, he suggested that races should be approached as “biological styles” in which humankind manifests itself. He also contended that the issue of races should be separated from the biological sciences and discussed in the context of metaphysics, morals, aesthetics—that is, within the philosophy of values. He argued that racism was defined by obtuseness and intolerance, and should therefore be replaced by an ecumenical attitude in regard to all the styles in which humankind exists. This moral imperative “compels us to be ourselves, under our stars, and to allow others to be themselves, under their own stars.” Blaga’s ecumenical attitude towards the styles of humankind was confirmed in the autumn of 1940 when, during the national-legionary regime, he helped the lawyer Petre Pandrea rescue the “Medias group” of 300 communists and Jews who were facing a possible death sentence. This study also discusses Blaga’s membership in the short-lived Goga–Cuza government (forty-four days, between 29 December 1937 and 10 February 1938), to which he had been appointed by King Carol II. Realistically speaking, the philosopher was in no position to refuse the appointment, as he was personally indebted to the king for the remarkable welcome extended to him on his acceptance into the Romanian Academy, in June of 1937.
