Amor, romance y mitos románticos en la música en un grupo de mujeres de la ciudad de La Paz, Bolivia
Authors: Ponce- Valdivia Freddy Andrés , Sánchez -Argandoña Paola
Published: March 2023

La música es un medio que nutre la cultura a través de la transmisión de mensajes, arquetipos y normas de acción principalmente en jóvenes. Entre los contenidos que pueden ser transmitidos a través de ésta, se encuentra el concepto de amor romántico, que, a su vez, influye en las concepciones de los jóvenes de lo que significa estar en pareja. Por eso se buscó delimitar el concepto de amor, romance y los mitos románticos en la música desde la óptica de 12 mujeres jóvenes de la ciudad de La Paz, Bolivia. Este estudio partió de un enfoque cualitativo con marco interpretativo que utiliza 3 grupos focales para la recolección de información. Como resultados se encuentra que el amor se define como un sentimiento, interacción o conexión con el otro, algo químico, pero también como un aprendizaje donde se destaca el amor propio. El romance se basa en expresiones de afecto donde se encuentra una interacción entre dos personas. Los mitos románticos más resaltados son el amor imposible, el amor lo es todo en mi vida, el amor como sufrimiento, el amor que lo puede todo y el amor condicionado. Mientras los apenas mencionados son el amor único, el amor perfecto, el amor a primera vista, el amor solamente físico o sexual y el amor como posesión. Estos configuran el accionar de las mujeres y formarán parte del amor romántico reconocido y reproducido por las participantes al escuchar canciones románticas que forman parte de la “cultura popular”.

Politics, Accountability, and Learning: Insights from the RISE Programme’s Political Economy Case Studies
Authors: Gershberg Alec , Spindelman Deborah
Published: March 2023

The RISE (Research on Improving Systems of Education) Programme political economy team focused on “adoption” (PET-A) examines the political conditions required to put learning at the center of an education system. This work stream has produced 12 historical case studies and three synthesis papers which draw on this rich material. This paper is part of the latter effort and offers a comparative analysis across five of the countries with RISE Country Research Teams (Ethiopia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Tanzania, and Vietnam), as well as additional case studies focusing on Chile and Peru. Building on the RISE systems framework (Pritchett, 2015), our political economy analysis incorporates issues of competing interests, power, and political strategy. We focus on the promoters and blockers of learning-oriented education reform and their respective powers and strategies to parse out the political contestations that are endemic to the reform processes that impact system coherence around learning. In this paper, we present a binding constraints framework to explore what a politics for learning might look like and examine areas of intervention that present critical bottlenecks impeding a country’s ability to deliver learning outcomes which, if addressed, pose the potential for large impact relative to other constraints. We draw upon the PET-A country case studies to include analysis of different factions and reform champions within government, including but not limited to the executive office (president/prime minister), Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Education, competing ministries, decentralized government levels, and local leaders. In doing, we elucidate how politics permeate nearly all accountability relationships in education systems and the likelihood that any given program will positively impact learning.

This paper proposes a new algorithm for the optimal placement of the phasor measurement unit. The proposed algorithm is based on the concept of finite space solution of any binary problem. This algorithm has considered all possible cases; therefore, the possibility of obtaining a global solution is very high. The large system is divided into several subsystems. The buses (transmission lines) connected between the subsystems are called interconnected buses (lines). The proposed algorithm is implemented through two steps. First step identifies the optimal placement for each subsystem by checking on all possible solutions, the overall optimal placement for the entire system is gathered in the second step. Finally, all possible placements of the phasor measuring units with the optimal numbers are identified to select the best placement based on the user applications. In this work, the Jordanian power system is considered as a case study to validate the proposed algorithm. Four algorithms in the literature are used for the comparison using different IEEE test systems. The algorithm is computed in MATLAB 2020a.
The formation of K. S. Stanislavsky’s system in the context of the Silver Age Culture: Influence of the East
Authors:   Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS), Shakhmatova Elena V.
Published: March 2023

The article presents an overview of the All-Russian scientific conference with the contribution of international participants. It took place at GITIS on November 2–3, 2022. While creating his famous theatre system, K.S. Stanislavsky discovered some common details between his methods of pedagogical practice and yoga. He intuitively came to the same methods of influencing the psyche that had been known in the East for thousands of years. In the process of his work, he addressed the concept of “prana”, that he borrowed from the yogis. He also used such terms as “emission” and “perception”, “radiation” and “induction”, that were adopted from the French philosopher and psychologist T. Ribo. In the second half of the 19th century, the concept of psychic energy became widespread in psychology and was used to interpret numerous inexplicable phenomena during spiritual sessions. Sigmund Freud freed this term from mystical overtones and denoted it with the word “libido”. Carl Jung, the founder of analytical psychology, proposed to consider the libido neutral by its character as a universal psychic energy. By addressing some principles of yogic teaching, K. S. Stanislavsky created various methods for the development and improvement of the actor’s psychotechnics. From this basis, his colleagues,followers, and students later developed a number of psychophysical trainings. They became part of Stanislavsky’s method known throughout the world as his “system” and have proven to be very useful in the process of an actors’ education. The purpose of the conference was to reveal those aspects of the Silver Age culture which contributed to the creation and establishment of the K. S. Stanislavsky system.
The metatheatricality of “The Government Inspector” and Gogol’s multidimensional view of theatre
Authors:   Saratov State University, Zorin Artem N. ,   Saratov State Conservatoire
Published: March 2023

Gogol’s “The Government Inspector”, within the context of all comments made on the comedy, is considered as a combination of different points of view on the play and the nature of the theatre, which are correlated with different loci of theatrical architectural space. Notes to “The Government Inspector” reflect the evolution of Gogol’s interpretations of his own play. They change not only in regards to time, but also in regards to space — every next published comment reveals a new direction of viewing theatrical space and a point of view from the position of a certain theatrical locus. They are the scene (“Wishes for those who I would like to properly play The Government Inspector”), stalls and boxes (“Letter written by the author after the presentation of a new comedy”), the foyer, the theatre staircase and the space behind it (“Theatrical tour after the presentation of one comedy”), theatre workshops (letters to colleagues in the theatre workshops), artistic dressing rooms (“The Outcome of The Government Inspector”). In general, the totality of points of view on the Inspector in a particular work or letter with the comments on the “The Government Inspector” can be correlated with a specific place within the theatre space. In general, it is interpreted by Gogol himself as the versatility of this approach to theatre. But such versatility is opposed in “Selected passages from correspondence with Friends” with a “one-sided” consumer approach to theatre from one position, which eliminates the possibility for dialogue and judging a dramatic actor “according to the laws he recognized above himself”.
“I consider you a very close person to me…”: E.K. Malinovskaya, V.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko and others in 1935–1942
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Gordeev Petr N.
Published: March 2023

Elena Konstantinovna Malinovskaya (1875–1942) left a noticeable mark in the history of the Russian theatre of the late 1910s — 1930s. After managing Moscow academic theatres after the revolution, in 1924 she was forced to resign, and in 1930 she returned to the theatrical world, by leading the Bolshoi Theatre. After her final resignation in 1935, the figure of Malinovskaya drops out of view for theatre scholars. Meanwhile, after having outlived the repression of her children and having lost all administrative positions, she had by no means lost touch with the world of performing arts. In this article, which is written using the material of several archives (Malinovskaya's extensive personal fonds in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art, the Malinovsky Family Fonds in the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the V. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko Foundation in the Moscow Art Theatre Museum, and the E. P. Peshkova Foundation in the Gorky Archive, as well as investigative files from the Central Archive of the FSB of Russia), the last seven years of the life of an outstanding activist for the Russian theatre have been carefully examined. The author pays particular attention to Malinovskaya’s correspondence with Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, who tried to support his former boss. The article reveals that even in the difficult conditions of evacuation from Moscow to Kuybyshev (Samara) in 1941, up to the last days of her life, Malinovskaya tried to take an active part in the fate of the Bolshoi Theatre.

The author reconstructs, through a path stretched between history and memory, the importance of the European and international dimension in Trentin's political and trade union action, from the experience of the FSM to the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC). It is an excursus that unravels through the encounter with the French Christian trade unionism of the 1960s and the experience of the Councils union in the second Red Two Years, the united unions in the 1980s, up to the Maastricht Europe of the 1990s, passing through the important divide in 1989.
L’eredità di Bruno Trentin per la sinistra europea
Authors: Pedretti Ivan
Published: March 2023

Trentin's reflections on the union of rights and the CGIL's European project still appear highly relevant today, in particular his idea of an Italian trade union belonging to the European socialist family in line with Delors' proposal for a Federation of Nation States and with the "Spinelli Group's" battle for the coordination of economic and social policies, the European Constitution and a united Europe in foreign policy and defense. Moreover, nowadays, the definition of a social project attentive to the work universe, in a system of rights recognized for all European citizens, as well as the attention to the issue of lifelong learning and active aging is equally important for trade unions and the left wing in Italy and Europe.
Study in mobility: Tian Dewang and his experience at the University of Florence (1935–1937)
Authors: Gao Changxu
Published: March 2023

It is commonly known that Italian departments, or at least Italian literature courses, were inaugurated in Chinese universities in the 1980s. Less known is the period of the 1930s, in which a Chinese student who specialized in Foreign Literature at Tsinghua University obtained a scholarship by the Italian government to study in Italy for two years: Tian Dewang 田德望 (1909-2000) was the first Chinese student to study Italian literature in Italy. In the 1980s he became a famous professor and translator of Italian literature, and was the first to complete an entire translation of Dante’s The Divine Comedy into Chinese. This paper is aimed at reconstructing the relation between the Chinese student and his Italian professor, Attilio Momigliano, and how the ‘mobility experience’ of Tian Dewang in Italy inspired and influenced his future academic career.
Transnational urban encounters: existential wanderings in Xue Yiwei’s collection Shenzheners
Authors: Rampolla Giulia
Published: March 2023

The fictional works of the Chinese writer Xue Yiwei, who migrated to Canada in 2002, can be regarded as a byproduct of cross-border mobility and cultural displacement. This paper examines the relationship between the individual and the metropolis in four short stories from the collection Shenzheners, focusing on the impact of the writer’s transcontinental relocation on his representation of city dwellers and intercultural encounters. This research adopts an interdisciplinary framework, which merges textual analysis with the approaches of Cultural Studies and Literary Urban Studies, and places this theoretical construction within a transnational context. By investigating the multiple narrative forms Xue Yiwei uses to question stereotypical cultural boundaries and to build a bridge between Chinese and global literatures, the connection between his experience of mobility and his hybrid fictional microcosm will be explored.

Swaps Cambiais Chineses
Authors: Haeming Bruno
Published: March 2023

O presente trabalho aborda os acordos de swap feitos pela China, através do seu Banco Central, People’s Bank of China (PBOC), com os países integrantes da One Belt One Road (OBOR). O objetivo é identificar se os acordos em questão contemplam elementos característicos da Cooperação Sul – Sul (CSS). A China tem um projeto de expansão global, a OBOR, calcado nas práticas e valores da  CSS, que trai países a esse projeto. Nesse contexto, a internacionalização da moeda chinesa cumpre a necessidade da China de lidar com o pós crise de 2008, bem como com sua intenção de aumentar as relações com outros países a partir da sua moeda. A pergunta que guiou o trabalho foi: De qual maneira os acordos de swap cambial feitos pelo Banco Central chinês, dentro da lógica da OBOR, se compatibilizam com as características da Cooperação Sul – Sul? Para responder a esse questionamento, fez-se um estudo de caso, tentando identificar a factibilidade de associar operações cambiais com valores da CSS. Muito embora não tenha sido possível acesso detalhado aos acordos, foi possível identificar que a China trava relações e fecha acordo de swap com diversos países no contexto da OBOR, e o resultado é a preservação da soberania, não intervenção e ganhos mútuos.

Struggle For Cultural Identity in a Postcolonial World A study in Salman Rushdie’s Works
Authors: Atiwi Ghanem , Al-Khafaji Weaam
Published: March 2023

Thisstudy aims to investigate the ways in which Salman Rushdie, an English writer,supports a hybrid worldwhich differences and heterogeneity are not only tolerated, but eagerly celebrated as a means of cultural newness. In the 21st Century, instantaneous communication, global economics and increasing migration of people across continents have drastically destabilized old views on the formation of cultural identities. This study attempts to provehow Rushdie`s literary works strongly believe in mixing identitiesand cultures, rather than limiting identification to a single place or idea. The study focuses on the struggle for cultural identity or the different areas of cultural identity. To do this, the researcher particularly examines Rushdie`s novel. He also discusses the ways in which political and personal events have formed his attitudes. Rushdie`s novels are clearly dedicated to the idea that cultural blending will create a better and more peaceful world in the future

دأبَ النَّحويون على وصفِ الظَّواهر النَّحوية في مُصنَّفاتهم، مُستعملينَ في ذلك مصطلحاتٍ تصفُ تلك الظواهر، وتكشف أهميتها، وما تنماز كلُّ واحدة عن الأخرى، ولم يقتصر استعمالهم على وصفٍ واحدٍ، وإنَّما يضعون الوصفَ بحسب حاجتهم إلى التَّوضيح، ومن تلك العبارات (التَّجرُّد)، فقد استعملها النَّحويون كثيراً، إذ وصفوا به أبوابَ كثيرةً من النحو، وقد استعملوا هذا الوصف بِصِيَغِهِ المختلفة، مثل: (تجرُّد)، و(مُجرَّد)، و(يتجرَّدُ) وهكذا، وقد أَنْعمنا النَّظرَ في تجرُّدِ الكلماتِ، فتبيَّنَ أنَّ ثمَّةَ أثراً وراءَ كلِّ تجرُّدٍ يحصلُ في الكلام، فرصدتُ مجموعةً من تلك الآثار، فوقفت عليها مُبيِّناً أهميتها، وقسمنا البحث على مطلبين: المطلب الأول: التَّجرُّد في اللغة والاصطلاح وفي مُصنَّفات النَّحويين، بيَّنّا فيه التَّجرد في اللغة والاصطلاح، ثمَّ المعاني المقاربة له، وأوضحنا الصلة بين التَّجرُّدِ وخلعِ الأدلَّة، وأصَّلنا لفظ التَّجرِّد في مُصنَّفات النَّحويين، والمطلب الثاني: أثر التَّجرُّد في توجيه دلالة كلام، أوضحنا فيه أهمية التَّجرُّد في توجيه الكلام، وأخيراً وضعنا خاتمةً تضمَّنت أهمَّ النَّتائج.

This questionnaire consist of four parts, part one included demographic data and characteristics of the women included (Age, Educational level, Resident, Occupation, Gestational age, Prenatal care visits and Maternal illness during pregnancy), part two included intervals of inter-pregnancy that divided into months, part three included the reasons for not using family planning, part four included the most common adverse birth outcomes that occur for women and their babies after delivery. The validity of the questionnaire was examined by (10) experts and reliability of the questionnaire was (0.82). Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics inferential statistical.
Results: The newborn with low birth weight, the risk was higher among mothers with a short inter pregnancy interval (27%), the maternal characteristics of the sample demonstrates that according to age, the highest percentage was of the study age group (21-25) year that was (37%), As regard the resident, about (62%) of the sample was rural, And more than half of the samples (59.5%) were not visited a specialized maternal health care during their pregnancy period. With regard the maternal illness during pregnancy and the highest percentage was (42 %) in anemia., the main reasons for not using birth control at the time of conception among mothers was they thought will not get to have a pregnancy at this time (49%).
Conclusion: short inter-pregnancy intervals (three to six) months are associated with increased risks of maternal: anemia , gestational hypertension, low birth weight, preterm delivery and small for gestation age.
Recommendations: The researchers recommended that should be continued efforts to prevent repeat pregnancies among teenagers and interventions to lower short birth spacing among young adult mothers deserve high priority. The women should be succeeding in influencing and achieving an optimal birth spacing of at least eighteen to twenty four months.

Tuberculosis of the chest wall is a rare extrapulmonary localization, affecting mostly the immunocompromised and rarely the immunocompetent. Clinically, it presents as an abscessed collection or a tissue mass making the diagnosis difficult, especially in the absence of other signs, hence the interest of a bacteriological and/or histological confirmation. Extensive surgery accompanied by anti-bacillary chemotherapy is the treatment of choice.

The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiological-clinical and therapeutic aspects of MU in children. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study, over a period of 5 years from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020 carried out in the urology department at the University Hospital Center "Point-G". We collected a total of 69 cases of malformative uropathy (MU) in children. The frequency was 1.41% of all hospitalizations and 5% of patients operated on during the study period. The sex ratio was 7.6 in favor of the male sex. They were admitted by referral from health personnel in the majority of cases, i.e. 93%. The mean age at diagnosis was 7 years. The circumstances of discovery were ectopic abutment of the urethral meatus (43.5%), pain in the lumbar fossa (23.2%) or bladder globe (10%). Ultrasound was performed in all of our patients, and revealed uropathy in 25.9% of cases. The most common uropathies were hypospadias (42%), pyelo-ureteral junction syndrome (23.2%) and posterior urethral valves (13%). All cases benefited from surgical correction adapted to the type of malformative uropathy. The evolution was without complication in the majority of cases in the 1st postoperative week, i.e. 84% of cases.

Published: March 2023

Background: Wandering spleen was first mentioned by Van Horne in 1667. Wandering spleen (floating, ectopic, ptotic, hypermobile or splenoptosis) may float anchored only by its vascular pedicle with no hooking to the nearby structuresand it is induced by the lengthening of the spleen’s holding ligaments. Although it is rare (less than 0.2%) but it affects mostly children and female adults of active reproductive age. It features as a mass in the abdomen without clinical signs or with intermittent abdominal discomfort due to torsion and spontaneous detorsion of the spleen. Case Report: A 34-year-old male presented to the emergency department with complaints of abdominal pain, distension of the abdomen and vomiting with constipation for two days. There was no past history of any surgery. On general examination, patient was afebrile (temperature of 37°c), pulse rate of 80 bpm and blood pressure of 110/70 mmHg. An abdominal examination revealed mild abdominal distension with mild diffuse abdominal tenderness and guarding. A tender lump sizing 10 × 9 cm with smooth surface, well defined margins and firm consistency was found. Digital rectal examination was normal. Laboratory parameters showed hemoglobin 14.5 gm/dl and white blood cells 12000/mm3. The platelet count was normal. Ultrasonography (USG) showed a solid mass and the absence of the spleen from its normal location. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen showed large torted spleen at mid abdomen with partial or no enhancement of splenic shape mass on contrast-enhanced CT scan and the patient was scheduled for an exploratory laparotomy for surgical acute abdomen. During laparotomy, a mass measuring 11 × 9 × 3 cm and weighing approximately 280 g was found. The mass was identified as the spleen by visualizing its notch and the absence of the spleen from its normal position. All splenic ligamentous attachments were completely absent. The spleen was found to be partly infarcted due to twisting of the spleen .....
