Syncretism of Body and Sexuality in The Catcher in the Rye
Authors: Thapa Hukum
Published: August 2023

The present paper examines the syncretism of body and sexuality and its consequences in The Catcher in the Rye written by J.D. Salinger. This paper further discusses how the young adult Holden Caulfield perceives his body and sexuality; and how the body and sexuality work in The Catcher in the Rye. Moreover, this paper analyzes body celebration, abuse and sexuality of young adult Holden. This study argues that young adults perceive their body as a means of power, freedom, identity and maturity. Young adults employ their body and sexuality as agencies to be distinct and noticeable in their community and society. For these purposes, this paper primarily employs the ideas of Roberta S. Trites and Judith Butler as theoretical tools. This paper opens an avenue for further research about young adults of Nepal and other topography besides America.
The Role of Human Nature and Morality in Cormac McCarthy’s The Road
Authors: Neupane Ravindra
Published: August 2023

This paper has examined how human nature and morals play a role in humanity’s obsession with (post-) apocalyptic literature. Especially, it has analyzed The Road (2006) in light of Literary Darwinism, often known as Evolutionary Literary Study, which has evolutionary psychology as its theoretical foundation. This paper investigates The Road in the context of models of human nature and behavior by adopting a literary Darwinist approach and apocalyptic thought. It is demonstrated that (post-) apocalyptic authors examine human nature and morality when survival is at stake by exploiting both created (cultural) concerns and universal (natural) worries in their dystopian settings. Additionally, it has revealed how vitally evolved aspects of the human mind are to (post-)apocalyptic fiction. Since the creative scenes in these kinds of novels are works of human imagination, they ought to be able to tell us something about the brains behind them, as well as their ethos and motivations. The basic elements of human nature that McCarthy explores are also assessed in terms of how they align with or conflict with fundamental ideas about human nature and morality, though in ways that are constrained and channeled by the author's cultural context, personal needs, and the motivation behind writing about such a post-apocalyptic world. McCarthy’s ethics and ideals as well as the effect McCarthy’s post-apocalyptic world has on readers are examined. Based on the analysis presented in this paper, by emphasizing human nature and the cultural context of the time, as well as by drawing a distinction between culture and nature through the lens of Literary Darwinism, this paper has found that McCarthy’s The Road is profoundly influenced by moral characteristics, human nature, and universal human fears and needs.

Authors: Gurung Raj Kumar
Published: August 2023

<>The main objective of this paper was to examine the academic writing skills of master's degree students and equip them to write a research paper logically. The study was carried out to make the target groups feel the pivotal role of coherence and cohesion in writing. To analyze the writing skill, the qualitative approach was used as a major method although the quantitative approach was also sued partially. One of the findings of the study was that the target groups pointed out the traditional methods of teaching. About fifty respondents pointed out that there are no practical writing classes. Most of them realized that a research paper is a good combination of ideas organized and a coherent presentation of the thesis statement and methodology. Coherence and cohesion are the major factors of a research paper. They found that research paper writing is a challenging job.
Role of Women in Agriculture Related Work Performance in Nepal: A Study of Sunkoshi Rural Municipality of Okhaldhunga
Authors: Sapkota Khila Nath
Published: August 2023

Development of rural areas depends on agricultural industry because it is a main occupation and source of income generation of rural farmers in Nepal. Farming has, however, only given a very small portion of a farmer's income, thus they have added other sources of income. Moreover, half of all economically active people, according to a field survey, work in agriculture. In comparison to the male population, more women work in agriculture. Numerous factors, including family structure, the caste system, educational attainment, farmer age, crop variety, technological level, etc., have an impact on rural women's roles in agricultural production. Women are mostly involved and performed the majority of the labor-intensive tasks including irrigation, harvesting, planting, cultivation of cereal crops and the care of animals. They also have a significant part in the purchase of seeds, fertilizer, and other necessary tools. Rural women also work in a variety of livestock-related tasks, such as grazing, milking cows and buffalo, cleaning sheds, etc. Additionally, they must care for their children and handle household duties with little to no support. So, some recommendations are offered in light of the research's findings, such as raising the overall literacy rate, promoting new idea and technologies like labour-saving devices, and reduction of their drudgeries in household activities are to be introduced in the rural area.
Social Protection Policy and its Response in Nepal
Authors: Acharya Bala Ram
Published: August 2023

Social protection aims to support the weak and underprivileged. It refers to a set of policies to help marginalized people maintain an adequate standard of living throughout their lives. There are many social protection programs in Nepal targeting vulnerable groups such as senior citizens, the disabled, women, the marginalized, and Dalits. There are numerous social protection programs in Nepal, including insurance, subsidies, and public works initiatives in addition to cash, in-kind, and food offerings. This paper reviews existing literature on such social security debates by systematically describing the key elements of coverage, benefits, and sustainability through the desk study method. It is a critical evaluation of the available research on Nepal's social protection schemes. This paper then concludes that, despite minimal governmental capacity, there are enough programs under operation. However, for optimum output, the Government of Nepal must also take into account the enhancement of its current policies, administrative capabilities, and long-term sustainability.
Narrativization of Trauma as Performance in Modiain
Authors: Regmi Laxmi
Published: August 2023

This study scrutinizes and analyzes Mahabharata War from the perspective of performance studies. The text chosen for analysis is a seminal work of Bishweshwor Prasad Koirala as a satire against war, Modiain. The paper intends to show the violence, futility of war, enormous pain, fear, estrangement, unhappiness and shadow of war hanging in the mind of survivors mainlywomen. The specter of Nari narrats the war scene where the battlefield glistened and blurred like vapor coming out of hell. The agony of widowhood and looking for their lovers are other nodal points of the research. Further, war invites violation which is very chilling issue and the performance of war is very destructive. The events are deeply felt with pain when Nari narrates the war scene in the form of spirit.
Reflection of Reality and Unreality in the Sanitation Sector in Nepal
Authors: Limbu Lila Prasad
Published: August 2023

This study, explores the development trend of sanitation coverage and compares and contrasts government reports and the reality of the sanitation sector. The researcher has used a descriptive research design and a quantitative research method. The data collection technique was field observation because the researcher observed 228 houses to find the reality of having and not having toilet households. The researcher found that the Nepal Government’s record of sanitation coverage is not real because the Nepal Government claimed cent percent of households have toilets in the study area. But it was found that 60% of households do not have toilets. However, this study does not cover factors of sanitation. The other factors need further study.

HRCT Chest Findings of Re-expansion Pulmonary Edema: A Case Report
Authors: Koirala Sapana , Shrestha Om Kumar , Baral Sharad Chandra
Published: August 2023

Re-expansion pulmonary edema occurs when the lung re-expands after an extended duration of collapse. It is rare with the reported incidence between 0% and 1%. We present a case of a 51-year male who presented with breathlessness, cough and right-sided chest pain. Chest radiograph showed right-sided pneumothorax. After 2 hours of chest tube insertion, the patient developed tachypnea and severe hypoxemia. HRCT chest revealed consolidation, ground glass opacity and smooth interlobular septal thickening in the right lung as well as a small patch of ground glass opacity in the contralateral lung. The serial radiograph showed resolution of consolidation and ground glass opacities.
Trauma, sexuality, and identity in The Lover by Marguerite Duras and Burning Grass on The Field by Doan Minh Phuong

Published: August 2023

This paper examines the relationship between sexuality and trauma in two works, The Lover by Marguerite Duras and Burning Grass on The Field (Dot co ngay dong, in Vietnamese) by Doan Minh Phuong. Using trauma studies as a critical perspective to compare the two works, we focus on the relationship between sexuality and trauma, analyse the construction of identity of traumatized characters, and clarify the role of sexuality in such a process. Juxtaposing a newly released Vietnamese literary work, Burning Grass on The Field next to the well-known novel The Lover is also expected to reveal more meaning for the seemingly asymmetrical works. This can be seen as our effort to blur the division between the so-called classics and the other, contributing partly to decolonizing human literature.
Transconjunctival Approach for Surgical Repair of Infraorbital Rim Fractures and Orbital Floor Fractures
Authors: Abelovský Juraj , Slávik Rastislav , Hocková Barbora , Štorcelová Dorota , Gembeš Juraj , Kubec Filip , Kilipiris Evangelos , Stebel Adam
Published: August 2023

Aims: The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the use of a transconjunctival surgical approach in maxillofacial surgery on the fractures of the infraorbital rim and the orbital floor by analyzing the operating time, the incidence of perioperative and postoperative complications, as well as the functional and aesthetic outcomes of transconjunctival surgical treatment.
Materials and methods: All the patients on whom we used a transconjunctival approach from December 2017 to December 2021 were included in this retrospective study. The epidemiological causes of fractures of the midface skeleton were analyzed. The length of the operating time of the transconjunctival approach with lateral canthotomy was compared with a control group in which the supraorbital eyebrow approach was performed. In addition, we analyzed the incidence of perioperative and postoperative complications in comparison with publications from other centers.
Results: We used the transconjunctival approach 103 times on 89 patients (in 14 patients the transconjunctival approach was performed bilaterally). In cases where the lateral canthotomy was used to extend the transconjunctival approach, there was no prolongation of the operating time. Perioperative complications included the perforation of the lower eyelid in 2 patients. In the postoperative period we recorded complications in 3 patients. Ectropion of the lower eyelid was present in one patient and entropion of the lower eyelid was observed in two patients. The percentage of perioperative and postoperative complications does not exceed the incidence of complications in transcutaneous approaches on the infraorbital rim.
Conclusion: Based on the results of our study, we can consider the transconjunctival approach, either alone or in combination with lateral canthotomy, to be a safe surgical technique, associated with a low risk of complications. Thanks to mucosal incision of the conjunctiva of the lower eyelid, it completely eliminates skin scarring on the face. Our results are comparable with the published results of foreign authors and workplaces with larger cohorts of patients, which similarly evaluate the transconjunctival approach as a quick and safe surgical approach to the inferior orbital rim, with a low risk of complications.
Effect of Acute Hydrogen-Rich Water Intake on Intraocular Pressure in Healthy Subjects
Authors: Najmanová Eliška , Pluháček František , Manethová Hana , Botek Michal
Published: August 2023

Purposes: The primary aim of the study was to assess the response of intraocular pressure (IOP) to the acute ingestion of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) compared to hydrogen-free water (placebo) in healthy subjects. The effect of HRW intake on central corneal thickness (CCT) was also monitored.
Subjects and Methods: Twenty-four healthy volunteers (5 men, 19 women) aged between 20 and 33 were included in the study, in which one eye of each subject was measured. The study was prospective, randomized and double-blind, with crossover design. Each subject underwent two parts of the experiment, each part on a different day and in random order. In each part of experiment, a total volume of 1260 ml of HRW or placebo was administered over 15 minutes in three doses. IOP and CCT were measured before and during the course of 75 minutes from the start of the HRW or placebo intake.
Results: Administration of both HRW and the placebo caused a significant increase in IOP. The maximum IOP increase was 2.7 mmHg ±2.0 mmHg in minute 25 after the commencement of the experiment (HRW intake), and 1.4 mmHg ±2.0 mmHg in minute 35 (placebo intake). The values of IOP did not differ significantly between both parts, but there were significantly more clinically significant individual IOP increases after HRW intake (58%) compared to the placebo (25%). CCT did not change significantly during the experiment.
Conclusion: The rapid intake of 1260 ml of both HRW and hydrogen-free water causes a statistically significant increase in IOP compared to the baseline in healthy individuals. In the case of HRW, the increase was also clinically significant in most of the subjects. Thus, the results indicate that acute intake of HRW may pose a higher risk than placebo intake in terms of IOP. However, in the case of risk groups such as subjects with glaucoma, ocular hypertension or suspected glaucoma, it is necessary to verify this conclusion by further studies.
Acute Keratouveitis with Corneal Graft Melting as a Late Complication of Mild Chemical Burn Potentially Associated with Covid-19 Infection: A Case Report

Published: August 2023

Chemical burns are sight-threatening injuries that require immediate management. The main goal of the initial treatment is prompt and copious irrigation to neutralize and eliminate the chemical, followed by various therapeutic options (conservative and surgical) according to the individual patient’s postinjury findings.
Purpose: In this case report, we describe the course and treatment of a patient with chemical alkali burns of both eyes.
This study reports the outcomes of an ocular alkali burn patient who became infected with COVID-19 and where severe keratouveitis with corneal graft melting and hypopyon occurred, ultimately resulting in evisceration of the eye.
Observations: We report the case of a 35-year-old woman, after an alkali burn of both eyes. Complete re-epithelialization of both corneas occurred within three weeks. Due to this observation, we assumed a satisfactory healing prognosis. However, corneal lysis occurred in the left eye over time. The condition was managed, but subsequently severe keratouveitis with hypopyon and corneal lysis occurred in the left eye, apparently in connection with the COVID-19 infection, which ultimately led to the evisceration of the affected eye.
Conclusions and Importance: In the case report, we describe the management of a mild chemical alkali burn of the right eye and a complicated moderate burn of the left eye with an alkaline chemical. Both eyes were completely healed within three weeks. However, the findings on the left eye became complicated, which ultimately led to the evisceration of the affected eye. The disease of COVID-19 could have contributed to the deterioration of the findings on the cornea, or it could have just been a coincidence of two diseases, with the keratouveitis having a serious course due to the previous difficult course of healing and many complications after the chemical burn.
Making Markets out of Vice: Gambling, Cannabis, and Processes of State Legitimation and Formation in Canada
Authors: Cosgrave James , Cormack Patricia
Published: August 2023

The legalization of gambling and cannabis and the transformation of these practices/substances into consumer markets are processes of state legitimation, naturalization, and (re)formation in Canada. This article examines the moral-cultural transformation of gambling and cannabis over the last 50 years and analyzes these transformations in terms of state-culture dynamics. Where lotteries were legalized in the context of the welfare state, the expansion of gambling beyond lotteries in the 1990s has occurred as the federal state ceded jurisdiction of gambling to the provinces. The consequence has been the direct role of the provinces in the creation of gambling markets. Notwithstanding the monopolization of cannabis by some provinces, the opening of cannabis to private industry (e.g., sales) has occurred relatively quickly. In its central role in market making, the state, paradoxically, appears to disappear. However, the legalization and expansion of gambling and cannabis represent an increased positioning of the state at the nexus of civic and consumer cultures. State formation around consumption of gambling and cannabis centers on state entrepreneurialism and depends on retaining, yet reinventing, notions of harm with a shift from a generalized morality of nation and national spirit to individual risk calculation.

El cinturón polimetálico del oriente boliviano está ubicado al NO de Santa Cruz de la Sierra dentro el cinturón móvil Sunsas en una distancia de 500 km en dirección NO/SE. Este se consolidó al final del Meso-Proterozoico a través de la acreción de dos arcos magmáticos al gran cratón amazónico, durante las orogénesis de San Ignacio (1.56 – 1.30 Ga) y Sunsas (1.2 – 0.95 Ga). El terreno fue luego meteorizado y denudado, que descubrió las rocas compuestas de migmatitas, gneis, esquistos y rocas verdes en superficie. Estos últimos hospedan los yacimientos polimetálicos y auríferos de las provincias de Guarayos, Ñuflo de Chávez y Chiquitos. Han producido durante las últimas tres décadas cantidades significativas de Au, Ag y Cu, y Ta, Sn y Be. En el Mesoproterozoico inferior hubo las condiciones favorables para formar depósitos de sulfuros masivos vulcanogénicos; y al final del Mesoproterozoico superior para la generación de depósitos orogénicos de oro, calcosilicatos y pegmatitas de metales raros. La producción histórica de Au fue de 29 toneladas, de las cuales una cuarta parte provenía de veneros. Además, hubo la producción de 58,831 toneladas de Cu entre 2014 y 2016, y 500 toneladas de concentrados de tantalita de 1989 a 2012.

Production and characterization of basalt fiber/pet composites
Authors: Eksen Melis Meldem
Published: August 2023

The use of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite materials is increasing day by day due to their high strength and recyclability. In addition to these superior advantages, high melt viscosity is among the disadvantages of these materials because it makes reinforcement absorption difficult. This problem can be solved by using hybrid yarns in which reinforcement and thermoplastic fibers are homogeneously mixed for the production of thermoplastic composites. This study, it was aimed to prepare basalt fiber/PET hybrid yarns containing basalt fiber in different volume ratios by air-jet mixing method and to prepare thermoplastic composite materials by pressing from fabrics woven from hybrid yarns. By determining the mechanical properties of basalt fiber/PET thermoplastic composites prepared to contain basalt fiber in different proportions by volume, the effects of basalt fiber amount in hybrid yarn blends on the mechanical properties of the composite material were examined and the most appropriate basalt fiber amount was determined.

Authors: Lima dos Anjos Aline , Câmara Pízzato Michelle
Published: August 2023

Para um melhor entendimento sobre os conteúdos de química e sua relação com o cotidiano dos estudantes, devem ser propostas situações em que as aulas ministradas estejam ligadas a situações do mundo real, resolvendo qualquer problema do dia a dia. STEM Education busca quebrar a barreira entre conteúdos disciplinares, fazendo com que os conceitos apresentados na disciplina sejam colocados em prática, promovendo aos estudantes um estudo mais amplo e dinâmico. Este trabalho busca apresentar uma definição conceitual sobre o termo “STEM” e sua relação com o ensino de química. Foi realizado uma pesquisa bibliográfica utilizando os termos “STEM” e “Chemical education”, no período de março (2020) a dezembro de 2021, no Portal de Periódicos da Capes, no Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) e também no periódico Journal of Chemical Education. Dos 609 (seiscentos e nove) artigos encontrados na busca, somente 20 (vinte) foram selecionados para categorização e análise. Através das análises feitas nos artigos em relação a definição do termo STEM, foi possível constatar que o mesmo pode sofrer alterações dependendo do nível de ensino onde é aplicado. O uso de STEM no ensino de química, quer seja segundo qualquer uma das concepções do termo, monstra que o pode professor trabalhar de uma forma individual desde que se relacione a tecnologia ou engenharia aos conteúdos básicos de química.

Authors: Bizarria Gibin Gustavo , Mattiolli Rodrigues Angélica
Published: August 2023

Neste trabalho utilizou-se a teoria de modelos mentais de Johnson-Laird para investigar a construção de modelos mentais a respeito da pilha de Daniell e de suas características químicas submicroscópicas. Aplicou-se um minicurso a 23 alunos do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública estadual do interior de São Paulo, no qual houve atividades de elaboração de animações em stop motion, e atividades experimentais cujos registros imagéticos e escritos foram fontes de informações sobre os modelos mentais de eletroquímica expressos pelos alunos. Foram encontrados resultados que demonstraram noções superficiais sobre o nível atômico-molecular, como a movimentação iônica e o comportamento das espécies químicas durante as reações de oxirredução, além de noções errôneas sobre estequiometria. Dificuldades de compreensão podem ser detectadas por meio da técnica de produção de animações, e corrigidas pelo docente ao longo de momentos de discussão e reflexão posteriores.

Este artigo problematiza, propõe e discute o desenvolvimento de um produto educacional em forma de Sequência Didática sobre a Biotecnologia, a partir das normativas curriculares vigentes para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem da biologia na Educação Básica. O objetivo deste estudo, portanto, reside em analisar as reverberações sobre o letramento científico de uma Sequência Didática sobre Biotecnologia para o novo Ensino Médio. Em termos metodológicos, foi construída uma Sequência Didática orientada pela abordagem dos Três Momentos Pedagógicos e dos pressupostos da Educação CTS (Ciência-Tecnologia-Sociedade) para os conteúdos de Biotecnologia. Esta Sequência foi avaliada por um grupo de onze professores, por meio de instrumento de pesquisa, o qual produziu os dados que constituem o corpus de análise desta pesquisa. Os resultados foram apresentados e discutidos com base no aparato teórico-metodológico da Análise de Discurso de vertente francesa por meio de três recortes (a saber: problematização, organização e aplicação) e três efeitos de sentido (a saber: efeito de prática, efeito de procedimento e efeito de processo), pelos quais a Sequência Didática reverbera o Letramento Científico. Por fim, o estudo assume o Letramento Científico enquanto um funcionamento específico-didático entre locutores e defende que a Sequência pode tencionar o discurso pedagógico autoritário.

Apesar de importante, o ensino de Botânica está defasado e vem sendo preterido a um segundo plano. Objetivou-se entender o papel da Botânica como instrumento e objeto do ensino de conceitos biológicos no contexto do sistema educacional brasileiro por meio da análise da frequência e conteúdo das questões de Botânica do Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) no período de 1998 à 2019. Foram analisadas 22 provas e 772 questões de Ciências da Natureza e suas Tecnologias, sendo 350 questões de Biologia e destas, 22 de Botânica. Observou-se aumento estatisticamente significativo no número de questões de Botânica. Os temas predominantes foram “Evolução” e “Fisiologia Vegetal”. Não houve questões de “Gimnospermas” e “Anatomia Vegetal”. Das edições, 8 não tiveram nenhuma questão de Botânica. A baixa ocorrência dessas questões pode influenciar na desvalorização do conteúdo, contribuindo para a disparidade na percepção de plantas. Ademais, o predomínio de questões de Ecologia, pode ser explicado pela busca de interdisciplinaridade.

Este artigo apresenta um estado do conhecimento cujo intuito é contribuir com as discussões acerca das relações entre ciência, tecnologia e sociedade (CTS), notadamente, a Tecnologia no campo da Educação CTS e o ensino de Ciências. Nessa perspectiva, realizamos um levantamento no recorte temporal de 2010 a 2020 em bases de dados e periódicos da área de ensino. Na compilação dos dados, selecionamos 39 artigos a partir dos critérios de inclusão. Para análise do corpus, utilizamos a análise de conteúdo de Bardin (1977). As categorias a priori criadas foram: 1) Ênfase da Tecnologia na Educação CTS e/ou Ensino de Ciências; 2) Nível de Ensino; e 3) Abordagem CTS. Ao que se refere ao contexto da educação brasileira, pondera-se que essa temática vem surgindo lentamente com uma tendência de crescente nos últimos anos. Em suma, os resultados sinalizam que o elemento “Tecnologia” na Educação CTS no ensino de Ciências ainda vem sendo tratado de maneira secundária e silenciada nos últimos anos, configurando-se como uma possibilidade de tendência e um universo de pesquisa a ser investigado nesse campo, pois há uma escassez de publicações que dê maior ênfase à tecnologia no contexto da educação brasileira.

Authors: Ramos Pires Glênyo , Fillipe de Araújo Castro Ícaro
Published: August 2023

A literatura aponta que traços tradicionalistas e o elevado volume de informações complexas no contexto da educação básica dificultam o processo de aprendizagem. Nesse sentido, os professores devem adaptar as suas estratégias didáticas em busca de aulas mais atrativas e participativas. Dessa forma, esse trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver uma aula utilizando o personagem de história em quadrinho Super Choque como ferramenta de ensino para conteúdos de biologia e física no contexto do Ensino Médio. A pesquisa contou com a participação de discentes do segundo e terceiro anos do Ensino Médio de uma escola estadual, situada no município de Uruçuí-PI. Após anuência dos participantes e concordância a um termo de consentimento, foi aplicado um questionário semiestruturado (Q1), que buscou identificar percepções relacionadas ao uso de personagens de história em quadrinhos (HQs), bem como percepções e conhecimentos dos estudantes para os conteúdos de biologia e física. Posteriormente, aplicou-se uma aula que utilizou os poderes do Herói Super Choque para discutir conteúdos das duas disciplinas. Após a aula, foi realizada a aplicação de um segundo questionário (Q2). Participaram dessa pesquisa 21 discentes, sendo 16 discentes (76,2%) do gênero feminino e cinco discentes (23,8%) do gênero masculino. A partir da observação da variação no percentual de acertos entre o Q1 e o Q2, e das percepções dos estudantes em relação ao uso do personagem Super Choque para discussão de conteúdos de biologia e física, foi observado que o uso de personagens de HQs se mostram como excelentes ferramentas de ensino a serem associadas à prática docente, uma vez que permitem manter a atenção do aluno ao assunto proposto, bem como permite trabalhar diversos componentes curriculares de forma simultânea e interdisciplinar.

Place names commemorating Hadrian – an attempt to approximate the scale of the phenomenon
Authors: Jurkowski Marek
Published: August 2023

According to Historia Augusta (Vita Hadriani 20, 4), many cities in the Roman Empire were named Hadrianopolis after the emperor Hadrian. The aim of this article is to approximate the number of places named after Hadrian not only Hadrianopoleis mentioned. Cities were named after Roman emperors to commemorate the rulers’ role as the founders or benefactors of localities. This practice deserves special attention. The extent to which Hadrian had been commemorated in place names has not been researched extensively to date, but the approximate number of cities and towns named or possibly named after the emperor was relatively high. The exact number of localities named after Hadrian cannot be determined based on historical sources for a number of reasons, as discussed on the examples of localities such as Turris Tamalleni or Bisica Lucana. However, regardless of these difficulties, research suggests that Hadrian could have been commemorated in the names of up to 15 colonies, 19 municipalities (municipia), 4 localities that were most likely colonies or municipalities, and 43 other localities (mainly peregrine towns), which gives a total of more than 80 place names (the colonies and municipalities whose names commemorate the emperor should be distinguished from those that had been founded by Hadrian). In this article, the localities named after Hadrian were classified based on their legal status and are presented in tables. Particular attention has been paid to the controversies surrounding some of the cities thought to have been named after Hadrian (such as the colonial titulature of Avennio, the modern-day Avignon). The estimated number of localities named or possibly named after Hadrian indicates that these toponyms may have played a significant role in shaping the emperor’s public image.
Участь українців австро-угорського підданства в Першій більшовицько-українській війні (січень–березень 1918 р.)

Tekst skupia się na udziale Ukraińców z terenów monarchii austro-węgierskiej w pierwszej wojnie o niepodległość Ukrainy w XX w. przeciwko wojskom Rosji bolszewickiej. Wojna trwała od grudnia 1917 r. do czerwca 1918 r. Zwyciężyła w niej Ukraińska Republika Ludowa (URL) głównie dzięki temu, że od drugiej połowy lutego 1918 r. Austro-Węgry i Niemcy zostały sojusznikami URL. Nielicznejednostki bojowe wojska URL nie miały możliwości przeciwstawić się przeważającym siłom Rosji bolszewickiej. Świadomością polityczną, tożsamościową oraz umiejętnością walki wyróżniali się Ukraińcy pochodzący z Galicji. W przededniu pierwszej wojny bolszewickiej ukraińskie władze w Kijowie zezwoliły im, jako jeńcom wojennym wziętym do niewoli przez Rosję podczas I wojny światowej, na utworzenie jednostki wojskowej. Był nią Halicko-Bukowiński Kureń Strzelców Siczowych, stanowiący części armii URL. Na początku wojny bolszewicko-ukraińskiej jednostka ta została przemianowana na I Kureń Strzelców Siczowych. Odegrał on ważną rolę w powstrzymaniu bolszewickiej ofensywy na Kijów, stłumieniu powstania bolszewickiego w Kijowie i w obronie władz centralnych, aż do momentu podpisania w Brześciu traktatów z przyszłymi sojusznikami – Niemcami i Austro-Węgrami.
An unfortunate ally of the United Arab Republic.The People’s National Army of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war
Authors: Benken Przemysław
Published: August 2023

This paper discusses the combat potential of the People’s National Army of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria in the 1960s, with a particular focus on its operations during the 1967 Arab-Israeli conflict and the consequences of that war for the further development of the Algerian armed forces. In view of the language barrier and the impossibility of conducting queries in the Algerian archives, the author relied on briefing notes prepared by the military attaché office at the Embassy of the People’s Republic of Poland in Algiers in 1964–1967. Although the military attaché did not engage in any intelligence activities against the host country and was confined to gathering information by legal means, he was nevertheless able to obtain valuable data on the PNA. That information adds to the knowledge of the Algerian armed forces and coincides with the relevant literature in English, offering a valuable supplement to the latter. The analysis of the source material demonstrates that although the PNA presented itself asone of the three strongest armies on the African continent on paper, its combat potential was seriously undermined by the country’s backwardness and internal instability, which adversely affected the organizational structure of the armed forces and deprived them of sufficiently numerous, trained reserves. This became acutely apparent in June 1967.
Focusing on the Child's Best Interest and the Rejection of Protective Measures

Published: August 2023

This article shows how antifeminism manifested during the covid-19 pandemic and played an integrative role for pandemic-deniers. It first explains how antifeminism was understood and shows that antifeminist actors often used alleged concerns about child welfare to legitimize and morally enhance their own political views. Subsequently, the results of a systematic study of various antifeminist actors such as Birgit Kelle, Beatrix von Storch, Demo für Alle (Protest for all), and Eltern Stehen Auf (Parents Rise) from the pandemic denial spectrum are presented and compared to each other. Further analyses of the Querdenken protests make it clear that some narratives of antifeminist actors were also taken up by Querdenken members, and that in this way various alliances were able to emerge.
