Hearing Difficulties as a Result of Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Roup Christina M. , Ross Courtney , Whitelaw Gail
Published: February 2025

Background:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been shown to result in hearing difficulties (i.e., deficits in the processing of auditory information) without impacting pure-tone threshold detection. A missed diagnosis of hearing difficulties due to TBI because of normal hearing
can lead to reductions in quality of life and missed opportunities to provide an appropriate treatment regimen.Purpose:This study presents a case report of a female patient with a history of TBI due to a motor vehicle accident that resulted in a broad range of symptoms, including self-perceived
hearing difficulties and poorer-than-normal auditory processing performance.Research Design:Case report.Study Sample:A 58-year-old woman with a history of a mild TBI due to a motor vehicle accident.Data Collection:A neuro-audiology evaluation was conducted to address the
patient’s hearing complaints. The evaluation included standard audiometric and auditory processing test batteries.Results:The case report focuses on the patient’s history of TBI and her presentation to our clinic with hearing complaints. Her clinical audiological outcomes,
including an auditory processing assessment, and treatment with mild-gain hearing aids are discussed. The use of mild-gain hearing aids resulted in improved auditory processing skills and a significant improvement in quality of life.Conclusions:Patients with a history of TBI often have
multiple and debilitating symptoms, including hearing difficulties. Accurate diagnosis of auditory processing deficits in the face of normal pure-tone detection abilities is essential to provide treatment options that can improve daily function and quality of life.

El objetivo fue analizar la utilidad del índice proteína/creatinina (IPC) como indicador de proteinuria en pacientes con preeclampsia mediante una revisión sistemática. El presente trabajo de investigación se desarrolló bajo el paradigma positivista, el diseño descriptivo y la metodología cuantitativa formando la base de este estudio, que examinó la utilidad del IPC como indicador de proteinuria en mujeres preeclámpticas a través del componente de investigación documental y bibliográfica, siguiendo una técnica de investigación analítica. Los resultados confirman la eficacia y confiabilidad del IPC con una precisión superior al 94% debido a su sensibilidad, especificidad y puntos de corte que destacaron al comparar su precisión diagnóstica con una muestra de orina de 24 horas. En entornos con recursos limitados, su velocidad y facilidad de uso la convierten en un sustituto perfecto, ya que promueve la identificación temprana y reduce los problemas materno-fetales. Además, reduce los errores asociados con la recolección prolongada de orina. El IPC mejora la capacidad de respuesta clínica y permite una atención óptima en cualquier lugar para el diagnóstico de la preeclampsia. A pesar de su eficacia, los puntos de corte deben estandarizarse y deben tenerse en cuenta las variables que afectan sus resultados. Se ha determinado que mejora en gran medida la salud materno-fetal al facilitar un diagnóstico rápido y fácil.

¿Qué son y cómo se evalúan las competencias socioemocionales?: una revisión sistemática
Authors: Plata Zanatta Larissa Desiree , Moysén Chimal Alejandra
Published: February 2025

Las Competencias socioemocionales (CSE) se visualizan como un eje central del currículo, con programas para desarrollarlas y evidencia de su impacto. Este interés magnificado en las últimas décadas ha provocado que sea un tema coloquial y en contraparte, que exista una comprensión difusa y variada sobre las CSE. Esto, complica la evaluación, que se enfrenta a la diferenciación con variables asociadas, y a aproximaciones distintas para evaluarlas: auto-reporte, ejecución, evaluación por externos. El objetivo es a partir de una revisión sistemática, analizar la conceptualización de CSE y los instrumentos existentes, para una visión holística del estado del arte. Se utilizó una revisión sistemática, bajo el método PRISMA, con una búsqueda en las bases de datos: ERIC, EBSCOHost y DOAJ, de estudios de los últimos 10 años. Se analizaron 11 artículos, respecto a la conceptualización de la variable, enfoque, tipo de instrumento y población a la que va dirigida. Se presenta una conceptualización general, así como los instrumentos existentes con sus características principales. Es interesante analizar que varios artículos no parten de una conceptualización de las CSE, otros integran variables asociadas en la evaluación y a pesar de la crítica dirigida hacia instrumentos de auto informe, predominan este tipo de aportaciones.

Published: February 2025

Las féminas en edad fértil que padecen obesidad y síndrome de ovario poliquístico (SOP) tienen una relación complicada que repercute enormemente en su salud metabólica y reproductiva. A través de un análisis exhaustivo de la literatura científica publicada entre 2020 y 2024, este estudio pretende comprender este vínculo. El estudio se recopiló a partir de fuentes reputadas como PubMed y Google Scholar utilizando una metodología descriptiva y cualitativa. Según las conclusiones, la obesidad agrava los síntomas del SOP, como la resistencia a la insulina, el hiperandrogenismo y la inflamación crónica, aumentando el riesgo de problemas cardiovasculares y reproductivos. Las intervenciones más eficaces se distinguen por su carácter integral, que incorpora estrategias de control del peso, ajustes del estilo de vida, tratamiento farmacológico (metformina y agonistas del GLP-1) y planes dietéticos específicos. Se destaca que para mejorar los indicadores metabólicos y hormonales es necesario un primer descenso del peso corporal del 5-10%. Esta investigación pone de relieve la importancia de las terapias personalizadas para mejorar los resultados clínicos y la calidad de vida de las mujeres con obesidad y SOP.

Published: February 2025

Objective: This cross-sectional study explores the complex effects of dengue fever on liver functions in individuals admitted to a Federal Government Polyclinic Hospital (PGMI), in Islamabad
Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study evaluated 60 children aged 1–12 years with confirmed dengue, categorized into dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever groups, admitted to a hospital in Islamabad over six months in 2022. Liver function tests and clinical parameters were analyzed using SPSS to compare outcomes, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.
Results: With a mean patient age of 7.23 ± 3.58 years and a male-to-female ratio of 1.22:1, our third-day results showed increased ALT in 50% of cases, AST in 71.7%, and STB in 13.3% of patients. By the seventh day, the corresponding percentages had increased to 68.3%, 96.7%, and 81.7%, respectively. Remarkably, AST exceeded ALT in 50% of cases on day three and in 43% of cases on day seven. Except for STB on day three (p = 0.435), mean ALT, AST, and STB levels were significantly higher in patients with Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) on days three and 7 (p < 0.000).
Conclusion: This study demonstrated a significant correlation between liver function and dengue fever, with a more substantial effect observed in patients with plasma leakage or DHF. It becomes clear that monitoring liver function in dengue-infected individuals is essential for prompt intervention and improved clinical care.
Keywords: Hepatomegaly, Severe Dengue, Vomiting, Liver function tests.

Published: February 2025

Objective: To quantify the frequency of hyponatremia in patients with ischemic stroke, and to compare patient outcomes according to the frequency and severity of hyponatremia.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out for a period of six months (11-12-2020 to 10-06-2021) at the department of Medicine and Neurology, PIMS, Islamabad.A total of one hundred and seventy-nine (n=179) acute ischemic stroke patients of either gender between age 16-80 years were enrolled. Stroke severity was measured through the National Institute of Health stroke scale score and serum sodium was measured at the time of admission in all patients to diagnose hyponatremia. All patients with hemorrhagic stroke, having previous history of stroke, recent head injury, CNS infection, already using sodium lowering diuretics, or with end-stage diseases like Heart failure, chronic kidney disease and decompensated liver diseases were excluded from the study. Primary outcome measures were in-hospital mortality and duration of hospital stay (LOS).
Results: Hyponatremia was found in 30.1% (n=54/179) patients at the time of admission. Overall, in-hospital mortality in the study population was 11.7% (n=21/179) and the mean length of hospital stay was 6.9 days ± 2.5 SD. Mortality was significantly higher in patients with severe stroke (based on NIHSS score) (P=0.010) and severe hyponatremia (serum Na levels below 120 mEq/litre) (P=0.001). Mean hospital stay was also significantly longer in patients with severe stroke based on NIHSS score (P=0.001) and severe hyponatremia (P=0.048).
Conclusions: A remarkable proportion (30.1%) of acute ischemic stroke patients had hyponatremia. In-hospital mortality was significantly higher and the length of hospital stay LOS was significantly longer in patients with severe stroke and severe hyponatremia.
Keywords: Hyponatremia, Ischemic stroke.

Published: February 2025

Objective: Dental trauma poses a significant threat to the oral health and well-being of school-aged children worldwide. Prompt and appropriate management of dental trauma is crucial to prevent infection, abscess formation, and pulp necrosis.
Methods: The descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 320 male and female teachers via cluster random sampling from October 2023 to May 2024 to assess the level of knowledge among school teachers regarding emergency management of dental injuries, to evaluate the preparedness of school teachers in handling dental injuries in the school setting and to determine the association between demographics with knowledge and preparedness regarding emergency management of dental injuries. Data was collected about socio-demographic characteristics and emergency preparedness for dental trauma.
Results: Out of 320 individuals, the level of the teachers' knowledge was moderate (53.3%). Only a few teachers were found to have undergone first-aid training in TDI (19.4%) and to have encountered TDI incidents (21.9%) before. 93(50.5%) females correctly identified fracture (p-value 0.014). A significant association was observed for identifying fractured teeth and managing avulsed teeth with first aid training with a p-value of 0.017 and 0.008 respectively. A significant association was observed between the age group 41-50 years and the Importance of seeking emergency management for dental trauma (p-value 0.018) and knowledge status (p-value 0.007).52.3% of teachers correctly identified a solution for washing a re-implanted tooth(p-value 0.000).46% of teachers whose service span was more than 19 years, had better self-rated knowledge( p-value 0.002)
Conclusion: A moderate number of teachers had adequate knowledge among school teachers regarding dental trauma management. While a substantial proportion of teachers exhibit a commendable understanding and readiness to address dental emergencies, there remains a notable gap between certain aspects of knowledge and preparedness.
Keywords: Emergency management, Preparedness, School teachers.
The Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Project Management: A Systematic Literature Review of Emerging Trends and Challenges
Authors: Hashimzai Irshad Ahmed , Mohammadi Mohammad Qias
Published: February 2025

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in project management has emerged as a transformative approach, revolutionizing traditional practices by enhancing efficiency, decision-making, and risk management. Despite its potential, organizations face significant challenges, including high implementation costs, concerns over data privacy, and resistance to change, which hinder effective adoption. The purpose of this study is to explore emerging trends, key applications, and challenges of AI in project management, while also evaluating its impact on improving risk management, resource allocation, and decision-making in complex projects. The study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, adhering to the PRISMA protocol, to analyze peer-reviewed articles from MDPI, IEEE, Science Direct, and Emerald databases, published between 2018 and 2024. Keywords combined with Boolean operators were used to filter relevant studies, ensuring a balanced and focused selection of high-quality publications. The results reveal AI's capacity to proactively identify risks, adapt to dynamic project environments, and optimize resource allocation, ultimately enhancing decision-making efficiency and project outcomes. However, challenges such as implementation costs and resistance to organizational change remain critical barriers. The implications suggest that while AI significantly enhances project management, addressing these challenges is essential for broader adoption and scalability. This research concludes that AI is a game-changer in project management, offering insights into emerging trends and critical challenges. Future research should focus on developing scalable, cost-effective AI solutions to overcome adoption barriers, thereby extending the benefits of AI integration across diverse industries.

Distribución de la lluvia horaria anual y tendencias en lluvias máximas horarias en la zona cafetera colombiana
Authors: Ramírez-Carabalí Carolina
Published: February 2025

La frecuencia y la intensidad de las precipitaciones han aumentado en las primeras dos décadas del siglo XXI en muchas zonas del mundo, particularmente en la región tropical, provocando impactos importantes en la agricultura y otros sectores. En Colombia, el cultivo de café se ha establecido principalmente sobre las montañas de la cordillera de los Andes, donde las lluvias son frecuentes y mantienen condiciones de humedad prolongada en los suelos. Las lluvias fuertes y torrenciales junto con otros factores de manejo del ecosistema y el entorno, exponen a la región cafetera a daños en los cultivos, en la infraestructura y las vías, arriesgando el sustento y la vida de las familias caficultoras. Resulta trascendental conocer la información de lluvias extremas horarias, dado que determinan la disposición de la precipitación que llega al suelo y lo que escurre, insumo clave para preparar las estrategias en la gestión del riesgo e identificar su impacto sociocultural y económico en los territorios. En este seminario se presentarán los resultados de una investigación de la disciplina de Agroclimatología de Cenicafé, en torno a la distribución de la lluvia horaria anual, las tendencias en la frecuencia de eventos de precipitación horaria y en la cantidad de lluvia máxima horaria en la región cafetera colombiana. Estos resultados son fundamentales en la gestión del desarrollo urbano y rural, la infraestructura pública, la agricultura y la salud humana.
Spatial Transformations and Regional Differences in the Medieval Kingdom of Hungary (1000–1500)
Authors: F. Romhányi Beatrix
Published: February 2025

Spatial transformations of the economies and/or demographic trends of pre-modern
European kingdoms are difficult to assess, as statistical data are not available. However, it
is possible to create large data sets using different types of sources, including written and
archaeological, which can be used as indicators of relative population density, economic
activity, and regional differences. Although most of these data included are qualitative in
nature and many can only have binary values (0 or 1), the use of a large number of variables
has led to reasonable results that can be compared with the results of analyses in later
periods. Most of the data available are related mainly either to agriculture or ecclesiastical
institutions (parishes and monasteries). The period before the Mongol invasion in 1241 is
mainly represented by archaeological data, while for the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries
there are considerably more written sources. One of the most important sources is
the papal tithe register of 1332–1337, the only tax in Hungary directly related to the
differences in agricultural incomes. However, the focus of this paper is not on individual
time periods, but on the spatial changes that occurred within the medieval Kingdom of
Hungary between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries, with a particular emphasis on
possible driving forces behind these changes and various regional differences.
Differences in Quality of Life and Profitability on Small and Large Farms (1730–1930): A Statistical Approach
Authors: Demeter Gábor
Published: February 2025

The competitiveness and productivity of large landholdings and small estates and the
incomes or welfare of the people living on such estates have long been an important
issue in the Hungarian historiography – and in everyday politics too. Based on the
statistical evaluation of serial sources from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries we
give a thorough analysis on the productivity of smallholdings and large estates, which
showed a remarkable a spatio-temporal diversity contrary to the statements in the
literature focusing on case studies or social aspects of the problems. The size of the in-
vestigated area (Kingdom of Hungary versus Hungary after 1920), as well as land-use
colored the palette further. Statistical analysis also proved that socio-economic features
on large landholdings were not so unfavorable as depicted by literature. There was
a remarkable diversity within the large-estates regarding productivity too, and while in
the 19th century their income/ha values were better, than the income on small estates,
this gap partly disappeared between 1910 and 1935.
The Share of Tithe Paid to Parish Priests in Sixteenth-Century Transylvania: A Topographical Approach
Authors: Hegyi Géza
Published: February 2025

The most important source of income for the medieval Latin Church, the tithes paid
by lay people from their crops and livestock, was divided between several levels of the
ecclesiastical hierarchy. The set of beneficiaries varied from one country or diocese
to another, while the proportions essentially from one locality to another. In the
Transylvanian diocese, the bishop (or the chapter) got the substantial part of the tithe
(half to three quarters), while the archdeacon, as regional magistrate, uniformly received
a quarter. Despite the canon law standards, in many cases only a fraction of the quarta
remained to supply the parish priest. On the other hand, the parish priests from the
deaneries of royal Saxons (i. e. German settlers) could usually keep the full tithe.
The aim of my research is to reconstruct the share of tithe of the Transylvanian parish
clergy by locality, to map it and to analyze the spatial inequalities thus revealed. Due to
the unilateral source endowments, we have only a few direct data on this, so I calculated
indirectly the size and proportion of the priestly share, based on the data of a list from
1589, which only gives the local rents of the bishops and the archdeacons’ share of tithe.
According to my results, the inhabitants of 1239 localities paid tithes in mid-sixteenth
century Transylvania. For 457 settlements (mostly in the Székely Land) we do not know
the share of the priest. In the known cases, the three most common distributions were
when the local priest received no tithe (35%), a quarter of the tithe (36%) or the whole
tithe (25%). The spatial distribution of the parishes with quarta was not uniform, but
rather concentrated in some small areas due to various historical reasons. The level of
priestly share correlated with secular and ecclesiastical privileges, the ethnicity of the
population that paid the tithe, and the person of the landlord.
These results can provide important aspects for the interpretation of sources based
on priestly income, such as the papal tithe register of 1332–1336, fundamental to the
history of medieval Transylvania.
The Incomes and Expenditures of Agrarian Family Enterprises in Interwar Hungary
Authors: Bagdi Róbert
Published: February 2025

Hungarian statistics in the era of the Dualism and the Interwar period did not go below
the settlement level and did not provide any information on the number of livestock
and the income from them. Therefore, we do not have exact data on the main problem
of the period – whether the large estates or the smallholding showed better yield/
ha values, and on the minimum viable size of small farms. Although the movement
of ethnographic writers has depicted a dark overview of many settlements, in most
cases these do not provide quantifiable data. The surveys organised by the OMGE
or the agricultural schools provided statistically relevant quantitative data on certain
layers of the peasantry, but the poorest, daily wage-earners remained under-represented
in the studies. Therefore, sources that record the incomes and expenditures of these
strata in detail (which is the focus of agricultural economists), together with their living
conditions (which is the focus of the village researchers’ movement), is particularly
valuable. At the University of Debrecen, under the supervision of Rezső Milleker,
professor of geography, dozens of theses were written on this topic - though not all of
them were conducted according to the professors’ pre-written guidance. In this paper,
we try to shed light on the distribution of income and expenditure of the smallholderpeasant class, which was also hit by the recession of the Great Depression, by analysing
one of the best, but unpublished work. Beside revenue sources, strategies of survival,
techniques of tax-evasion, the profits compared to loan interests are also discussed.
THE INFLUENCE OF FINANCIAL RATIOS AND MATURITY DATES ON BOND RATINGS CHANGES IN FINANCIAL INDUSTRIES OF THE INDONESIA STOCK EXCHANGE
Authors: Setiawan Chandra , Permata Cinta
Published: February 2025

A bond rating is an important indicator in fixed-income securities that significantly assesses. The relationship between financial ratios and maturity dates with changes in bond ratings is very important. It provides valuable insights into the issuer's financial health and ability to repay debts within the specified tenor. This research investigates information related to the effect of financial ratios and maturity dates on changes in bond ratings in the Indonesia Stock Exchange using Panel Data Regression for 2017-2022. The result of this study is that maturity date has a negative effect on changes in bond ratings, current ratio does not affect changes in bond ratings, return on asset has a negative effect on changes in bond ratings, the net profit margin has a positive effect on changes in bond ratings, and debt to equity has a positive effect on bond ratings in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Before investing, investors should look at the bond-issuing company’s financial ratios and bond ratings to get better returns. This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the credit rating process, help investors make more informed investment decisions, and contribute to the efficient functioning of the Indonesian bond market.

According to research by BSA - The Software Alliance, by 2023, the rate of pirated software use in Vietnam will reach 74%, higher than the global average (54%). 90% of Internet users in Vietnam said they have encountered pirated content. The above statistics show that the situation of copyright infringement and plagiarism on the internet in Vietnam is a painful problem that needs to be thoroughly cared for and resolved. Therefore, researching the issue "Application of Blockchain technology in authenticating property ownership on the Internet in Vietnam" is necessary and urgent, with high theoretical and practical significance.
Flood Prevention and Maximised Wood Production at the Same Time: Sustainable Forestry in the Swiss Nineteenth Century
Authors: Stuber Martin
Published: February 2025

Previous research saw the nationwide implementation of sustainable forestry in the Swiss nineteenth century primarily as a response to the threat of flood disasters. In contrast, this article shows that Swiss sustainability pioneers aimed just as much at increasing wood production. With the Maximum Sustainable Yield they tried to meet the growing energy needs of the emerging industrial society. The argument of using sustainable forestry to meet future wood shortages only gained political clout in combination with flood prevention, which linked the intergenerational perspective of future wood needs with the acute disaster threat of the present. In this way, it was possible to overcome antagonisms between the scientifically trained forestry pinoniers and the rural societies. Together with the skillful setting of economic framework conditions, this was decisive for the implementation of sustainability as a participatory process, which was characteristic of Switzerland.

Creativity and disinformation in artificial intelligence-driven fashion communication
Authors: Kamašauskė Sigita , Sederevičiūtė-Pačiauskienė Živilė
Published: February 2025

Fashion is an industry of constant changes and reflects societal alterations; therefore, fashion brands must always seek creative and innovative communication strategies for a positive brand reputation and be at the forefront of technology. Fashion communication shapes society’s needs and perceptions of reality, which are currently shifting due to the high density of various artificial intelligence technologies, including those that can recreate reality. Therefore, consumers are easy to deceive, and creative ways of communicating using artificial intelligence lead to creative ways of disinformation. The question arises as to which topics of creative use of artificial intelligence in the field of the fashion industry are the most widely studied and what the research gaps are. An integrative literature review focusing on papers published between January, 2016 and January, 2024 was conducted to answer the research question and clarify the tendencies of future research. The findings of this research show the emerging machine-washing concept as the topics that scholars are mostly focused on – the recreation of reality using deepfakes and altered images, digital influencers, and their messages.
Assessing the Impact of Binary Systems on Microlensing Using SPISEA and PopSyCLE Population Simulations
Authors: Abrams Natasha S. , Lu Jessica R. , Lam Casey Y. , Medford Michael S. , Hosek Matthew W. , Rose Sam
Published: February 2025

Gravitational microlensing provides a unique opportunity to probe the mass distribution of stars, black holes, and other objects in the Milky Way. Population simulations are necessary to interpret results from microlensing surveys. The contribution from binary objects is often neglected or minimized in analysis of observations and simulations despite the high percentage of binary systems and microlensing's ability to probe binaries. To simulate the population effects, we added multiple systems to Stellar Population Interface for Stellar Evolution and Atmospheres (SPISEA), which simulates stellar clusters. We then inject these multiples into Population Synthesis for Compact-object Lensing Events (PopSyCLE), which simulates Milky Way microlensing surveys. When making OGLE observational selection criteria, we find that 55% of observed microlensing events involve a binary system. Specifically, 14.5% of events have a multiple lens and a single source, 31.7% have a single lens and a multiple source, and 8.8% have a multiple lens and a multiple source. The majority of these events have photometric light curves that appear single and are fit well by a single-lens, single-source model. This suggests that binary source and binary lens−binary source models should be included more frequently in event analysis. The mean Einstein crossing time shifts from 19.1 days for single events only to 21.3 days for single and multiple events, after cutting binary events with multiple peaks. The Einstein crossing time distribution of single and single-peaked multiple events is better aligned with observed distributions from OGLE than singles alone, indicating that multiple systems are a significant missing piece between simulations and reality.
A review of the intertidal Medon Stephens (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Paederinae) with description of a new species on the East Asian coasts
Authors: Ahn Kee-Jeong , Jeon Gae-Nam
Published: February 2025

A taxonomic review of the seashore-inhabiting Medon Stephens along the East Asian coasts is presented based on morphological and molecular characters (COI). Specimens of Medon calculosus Ahn & Jeon, sp. nov. and M. tomokoae Shibata & Fujimoto are extremely similar to each other, although there are differences in the form and structure of the aedeagus. Detailed comparison of morphological characters and molecular analyses based on genetic divergence and gene tree monophyly for species delimitation support the validity of the new species. Intraspecific genetic divergence of COI using uncorrected p-distance among Medon individuals ranged from 0% to 0.79%, while interspecific divergence among three Korean Medon species ranged from 7.74% to 11.69%.

A new species of the Cnemaspis siamensis group is described from Wang Khrachae District, Kanchanaburi Province, western Thailand based on morphological and molecular data. The new species, Cnemaspis enneaporus Rujirawan, Aksornneam & Aowphol, sp. nov., is distinguished from other species in the C. siamensis group by having the combination of SVL 42.2 mm in adult male (n = 1), 43.7 mm in adult female (n = 1); eight supralabials; seven or eight infralabials; ventral scales smooth; nine continuous precloacal pores in male; 17 or 18 paravertebral tubercles linearly arranged; tubercles on lower flanks present; lateral caudal furrows present; no caudal tubercles in the lateral furrows; ventrolateral caudal tubercles present on original portion of tail; caudal tubercles not encircling tail; subcaudals smooth; no enlarged median subcaudal row; two postcloacal tubercles on each side of tail; no shield-like subtibial scales; subtibial scales smooth; no enlarged submetatarsal scales; 26–28 subdigital lamellae on the fourth toe; sexually dimorphic for dorsal and ventral colour pattern; prescapular marking absent; gular marking absent; and yellow colouration in life on all ventral surfaces of head, body and tail in adult male. Phylogenetically, the new species is recovered as the sister taxon to C. huaseesom, but the two species are separated by 8.3–9.4% uncorrected pairwise genetic divergences in the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 gene and flanking tRNAs.

Renesansa alegorije
Authors: Kernev-Štrajn Jelka
Published: February 2025

Kernev Štrajn’s book discusses the concepts of alegory, symbol, and fragment not only as rhetorical figures and literary genres, but as textual strategies that imply a certain experience of art and the world. The historical outline of the concepts discussed goes back to the early Christian and medieval notions; in some respects, in contemporary poststructuralist theories that renovate the notion of allegory, it is possible to discern a striking resemblance to the old insights. A chapter is devoted to the comparative analysis od Dante's Divine Comedy and Prešeren’s Baptism at the Savica (1836) with regard to the relationship between symbol and allegory and their genre idenitities. The concluding chapter connects the preliminary findings and indicates how it would be possible to use the concept of allegory in the analysis of contemporary literary texts.
Christopher Marlowe, kanonični odpadnik
Authors: Zavrl Andrej
Published: February 2025

Christopher Marlowe, kanonični odpadnik (Christopher Marlowe, a Canonical Dissident) is the first monograph in the Slovenian language to be devoted to the English playwright, poet and translator Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593). The book looks into the reception history of Marlowe in the English and Slovenian literary systems from the time of the author’s life until today, starting with the earliest references to Marlowe by, among others, Robert Greene, Thomas Kyd, Richard Baines, Francis Meres and Thomas Beard, continuing with the Romantics and Victorians, key twentieth-century authors in the fields of feminism, gay, queer and gender studies, new historicism, cultural materialism, postcolonialism, theatre studies, etc., and finishing halfway through the second decade of the twenty-first century. After the introductory chapter, which briefly summarises the state of affairs in Marlowe studies and the scope of the book, two chapters discuss Marlowe’s biography and literary works. This is followed by chapters on the reception and canonisation of Marlowe, his role as a dissident, the Slovenian translations and stagings of his work, and a brief conclusion and postcript.
Hierarchical Ambiguities in Copula Coordinate Structures in Slovene and Other Slavic Languages
Authors: Reindl Donald F.
Published: February 2025

The nature of coordination, including derivation and constituency in coordinate structures, was debated by earlier writers, such as Aristotle and Dionysius Thrax, up to the present day by linguists such as Bloomfield and Chomsky. Copulative coordination expressing the meaning 'and' is achieved in four different ways, each of which are realized in the Slavic languages. It is also possible to find some kinds of ambiguity in these structures. Contrary to expectations, in addition to classical languages (e.g., Old Persian), some Slavic languages distinguish constituency on both higher and lower levels in these structures. Slovene uses the conjunctions ter, in, p a for these purposes. Another mechanism, with the preposition z (s) (e.g., midva s Petrom), expresses a lower level of coordination.
Why There May Have Been Contacts between Slovenes and Jews before 1000 A.D.
Authors: Wexler Paul
Published: February 2025

The traditional view of Jewish settlement history in Europe posits migrations from the Mediterranean region through northern France and Italy into Bavaria and the Rhineland by the end of the first millennium. The Judaized dialects of German (known as Yiddish) were allegedly created when these Romance-speaking Jews switched toregional German dialects. Yiddish has traditionally been defined asa Judaized form of High German dialects. This paper will demonstrate how linguistic evidence allows us to postulate an innovative theory about the migration of Jews (both Palestinian emigres and indigenous European converts) – namely, through the Balkans into the bilingual Sorbo-German lands by the late first millennium A.D. In this view, Yiddish was created by Balkan Jewish emigres speaking one or more Balkan languages: Romance, Greek and/or South Slavic. Contrary to the common view, Yiddish is best seen as a dialect of Sorbian which eventually became relexified to Middle High German (thus resulting in a Slavic language with an overwhelming German vocabulary). The article specifically emphasizes evidence from the Slovene territory.
O najdbi primerka Trubarjevega Davidovega psaltra (1566) v knjižnici Univerze v Tartuju
Authors: Dulichenko Aleksandr D.
Published: February 2025

Poleti 1990 se je v knjižnici Univerze v Tartuju, v zbirki Bibliotheca Bergmannae No 255, našel izvod Trubarjevega Davidovega psaltra. Knjiga je prišla v Tartu leta 1796 iz knjižnice Johannesa Breitkopfa iz Leipziga. To je dvanajsti znani ohranjeni izvod te Trubarjeve knjige. Članek prinaša podroben prikaz tartujskega izvoda in tako omogoča primerjavo z drugimi.
Kot poroča B. Berčič (1968), je bilo doslej znanih 11 ohranjenih izvodov te knjige: štirje v Sloveniji, trije v Nemčiji, dva v Švici,eden na Češkem in eden na Slovaškem. Poleti 1990 smo v znanstveni knjižnici Univerze v Tartuju odkrili dvanajstega. Knjiga je dobro ohranjena. Pogled v knjižnični arhiv nam pove, da je ni nihče uporabljal. Knjiga nosi signaturo Bibliotheca Bergmannae No. 255 in se nahaja v rokopisnem oddelku. Iz zaznamka na naslovnici je razvidno, da je prispela v Tartu leta 1796 iz knjižnice Johannesa Breitkopfa iz Leipziga. Članek podaja podroben opis tartujskega izvoda: poleg polnega naslova so opisani tudi drugi njegovi deli -- njihovi začetki in konci -- , tako da omogoča primerjavo s preostalimi enajstimi ohranjenimi izvodi.
Poleg omenjenega Davidovega psaltra smo v knjižnici Tartujske univerze odkrili še izvod v cirilici natisnjene knjige Artikuli (1562), ki sta jo prevedla hrvaška protestanta Stipan Konzul in Anton Dalmatin.
