Crossing Dreams: the Neglected Dreams of the Homeric Poems and the Poetics of Epic
Authors:   Institutul de Istorie și Teorie Literară „G. Călinescu”, Garofeanu Dorin
Published: January 2025

This article explores the status of dreams in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey.Dreams serve many different purposes in the epic; they also continuously elude all attempts to define or categorize them in a single, conclusive way. Stubbornly, they resist any model that would force them to conform to a single interpretation. I argue that there is a “subver¬sive” side of dreams under(mining) the epic conventionality, a side that seems to question the epic itself but, at the same time, to originate it and I suggest that the poetics of the Homeric epics may be based precisely on a subterranean merging between the “awake” story of the epic and its dreams. The dreams of the Homeric poems seem to yield both epiphanies and the epic song; they are situated as an intermediary realm both between men and gods, and between men and their stories.

In many engineering structures, and especially in the field of civil engineering, there are systems that have identical parts or that have certain symmetries. These structural properties give the possibility to ease the design and calculation in such circumstances. Thus, the analysis time can be reduced and the quick estimation of the response offered by the structure in different operating conditions can be reduced. As a result, the cost price for building the structure decreases accordingly. The symmetries of the structures and the existing identical parts also allow an easier analysis in the case of the study of vibrations. In the work, specific vibration properties of a structure containing identical parts are highlighted. An example for a real-life structure will argue the presented results.
Double Subject Constructions In Romanian?
Authors:   University of Bucharest/Iorgu Iordan - Alexandru Rosetti Institute of Linguistics, Vasilescu Andra
Published: January 2025

Grammars of old Romanian described various types of “double subject” constructions, explained from two sources: an internal one (spoken language structures, in the case of original texts), and an external one (imitations from original texts of various foreign origins). In a discourse analysis perspective, the present article challenges the “double subject” interpretation and argues that the subject is only apparently double. The constructions under scrutiny show a canonic subject and some additional discursive phenomena that result in an opaque linearization, which is misleading due to the lack of prosodic markers in written texts. The apparent “double subject” results from two interrelated phenomena: (a) the transfer of spoken language disfluencies to written texts (in a period when writers were not fully aware of register differences, and register differentiation was not the norm, especially in Romanian culture, but in other cultures too) and (b) various lexical-syntactic topic – focus management strategies (some of them specific to all discourse configurational languages, Latin included, others specific to Romanian, with some of them possibly emerging in the translation process from other languages). Hence, the syntactic subject is attracted in various discursive phenomena which result in the following categories: (i) discontinuous subject, a strategy of topic confirmation; (ii) recurrent subject, a focus confirmation strategy used as affective stance marker; (iii) hanging topic, anaphorically resumed as syntactic subject, which is a strategy of information structure management common to discourse configurational languages, as well as to spoken varieties of configurational languages; (iv) verum focus operator, a strategy specific to Romanian, which varies cross-linguistically; (v) appositive subject with clarification function; (vi) additive focal adverbial, a pronominal device alternative to the focal adverbial și; (vii) continuity marking relator, with a conjunction-like status, syntactically not integrated in the sentence it heads as apparent subject; (viii) focal particle marking affective stance. All these discursive configurations were transmitted to present-day Romanian. What makes the difference is the degree of tolerance for spoken language structures in the written register and speakers’/writers’ higher degree of awareness regarding written language norms. They are all part of information packaging strategies in discourse.
Agreement Errors in Norwegian L1, English L2 Quantity Pseudopartitives
Authors:   University of Agder, KLOCKMANN Heidi , Garshol Lenka ,   University of Agder
Published: January 2025

The pseudopartitive is a construction which is used by L2 learners but is not taught explicitly in Norwegian schools. Further, it shows non-canonical agreement properties (agreement with the embedded noun), which may make it challenging for learners. In this study, we investigated subject-verb agreement accuracy in quantity pseudopartitives among Norwegian L1, English L2 learners. English and Norwegian show similar headedness properties for the pseudopartitive, but unlike English, Norwegian lacks a system of verbal agreement. We collected learner data from the Tracking Written Learner Language corpus (Dirdal et al. 2022), and found a subject-verb agreement error rate of 29.1%, suggesting that despite the overlap in headedness in the two languages, learners struggle to produce agreement correctly. We also found cases of negative transfer, mostly related to specific lexical items (lack, pair). Altogether, this shows that the negative transfer of some properties, e.g. agreement marking, may limit the positive transfer of other structures, e.g. headedness in pseudopartitives.
Northern Khanty Approximative Constructions in Pseudo-Partitives
Authors:   HSE University, Kozlova Kate
Published: January 2025

The aim of this article is to propose a formal semantic analysis of the approximative constructions in Northern Khanty ( Khantyic Uralic). The data collected during three field trips is analyzed in the framework of Landman (2004), Rothstein (2017) and related works. Although several works (e.g., (Winkler 2020)) provide typological and comparative information on approximative constructions, a formal account is missing in the literature. The present paper sets out to fill this gap as well as provide a detailed report on pseudo-partitive constructions. I argue that the approximative marker in Northern Khanty is able to attach to numerals and units of measurement and its distribution forms a diagnostic of pseudo-partitivity. In such constructions, I associate different word orders to different syntactic structures and final truth conditions. This work strives to advance both formal semantics as applied to minority language and Khantyic (and even broader – Uralic) studies, providing new typological data.
The Dynamics of Part-Whole Relationships in Spoken Chinese Discourse
Authors:   Xiamen University, China, Lena Ludovica
Published: January 2025

This research focuses on the introduction of anchored indefinite pivots in biclausal presentational constructions (e.g., Qián xiē rìzi yǒu yí-ge kǎoshàng xuéxiào. ‘A few days ago there was one [of us] who got admitted to a school.’). Building upon semi-spontaneous spoken Chinese corpus data, the study examines linguistic strategies for anchoring indefinite pivots, their distributional frequency, and correlations with the predicate types (individual-level vs. stage-level), focusing on the functional motivations underpinning these connections. In particular, it is argued that the prevalent pairing of individual-level predicates with anchored pivots arises from the necessity to create meaningful propositions, while also ensuring the sustained presence of the newly introduced entity in discourse. In contrast, constructions including stage-level predicates can accommodate unanchored pivots, since they express meaningful propositions independently. Findings also suggest that utterances featuring unanchored pivots and stage-level predicates are not indiscriminately thetic, and that defining the precise boundaries of theticity in biclausal constructions is problematic beyond prototypical cases. Rather than making arbitrary assessments on the informational partition allowed in biclausal thetic constructions, this study adopts a function-driven perspective and analyzes the correlations between pivot (un)anchoring and predicate preference in the light of the discourse-pragmatic functions that the biclausal construction can convey: Topic-promoting, Quantifying, Contrastive.

When studying the weighted Hardy–Rellich inequality in L2 with the full gradient
replaced by the radial derivative, the best constant becomes trivially larger
or equal than in the first situation. Our contribution is to determine the new
sharp constant and to show that for some part of the weights is strictly larger
than before. In some cases, we emphasize that the extremals functions of the
sharp constant are not radially symmetric.
Facade decoration in the architecture of Dragiša Brašovan and Milan Zloković
Authors: Novaković Aleksa
Published: January 2025

In terms of facade design during the interwar period, the activity of Belgrade architects was imbued with layered influences of eclectic and contemporary expression. In line with this, many of the leading architects of this period, including Dragiša Brašovan (1887-1965) and Milan Zloković (1898-1965), incorporated facade plastic and sculptural decoration into their works. The stylistic development of ornamentation was conditioned by Academicist and Classicist tendencies on the one hand, and the emergence and popularization of Art Deco and Modernism on the other. This paper takes a representative selection of facade decorations from significant and distinguished buildings and competition projects created by Dragiša Brašovan and Milan Zloković during the 1920s and 1930s, with the aim of analyzing the contribution of sculptors whose creative work enriched their facades. In addition to the architectural compositions themselves, the decorative elements of the core components of the facade canvas have been analyzed, with the aim of fully elaborating their artistic significance.
Specificities of administrative dispute and constitutional complaint procedure
Authors: Manojlović Savo
Published: January 2025

The paper explores the unique characteristics of two important legal institutes: administrative lawsuits and constitutional complaints. Although these legal mechanisms can be generally described, their application in practice requires a nuanced understanding that goes beyond mere theoretical knowledge. The aim of the paper is to deepen both theoretical and practical understanding of these institutes by analyzing their specific internal structures, which distinguish them from other legal remedies. The main thesis of the paper is supported by three sub-theses, highlighting the specificities of the procedures initiated by administrative lawsuits and constitutional complaints. These include their suprainstitutional character, the subject of control, and the depth of analysis conducted during the decision-making process. The paper particularly focuses on legal systems where centralized administrative and constitutional courts function as separate institutions, while also considering systems where these functions are dispersed within the general judiciary. The conclusion of the paper is that the administrative lawsuit, which historically precedes the constitutional complaint, shares significant "legal DNA" with it, making them distinct from other legal remedies and procedures. This connection underscores the administrative lawsuit as a precursor to the constitutional complaint in systems with centralized constitutional courts.
Deconstruction of Roman law and construction of positive law
Authors: Cvetković-Đorđević Valentina
Published: January 2025

The interpretation of Roman legal sources directly affects the creation of a positive legal order. In history, two basic interpretations of Roman law have been distinguished so far, which were translated into two codes: the French Civil Code from 1804 and the German Civil Code from 1900. The two codes determine the nature of the collective in a fundamentally different way and regulate its actions in legal transactions. According to the German Civil Code, the collective has an abstract nature, which is why it gets the status of a legal entity that does not have its own will but participates in legal transactions through representatives. An alternative solution to the concept of the collective and its actions is present in the French Civil Code, which is based on the original Roman understanding that the collective (the people) has a concrete nature and that it is made up of concrete individuals who participate in the formation of the collective's unique will. Two different conceptions of the collective and its action reflected the understanding of individual legal action when work is undertaken through another.
Comparative analysis of achievements of eighth-grade students of civic education and students of religioous education on ICCS 2022 study
Authors: Ranđelović Branislav , Trbojević Tanja , Đukić Danijela
Published: January 2025

ICCS is one of the international surveys that is carried out in a large number of educational systems around the world. It deals with students' knowledge and attitudes regarding civic responsibilities and active participation in society. This study covers areas that are considered to be increasingly important in today's modern society: sustainable development and global citizenship education, migration and diversity, digital citizenship education (the use of ICT to participate in social and political events), young people's views on political systems (trust in institutions, system, media) and individual feeling of freedom and security. Given the similarities covered in ICCS research and the curriculum of Civic Education, the logical question is whether the achievements of students attending Civic Education and those students attending Religious Education are different. If there is a certain difference in student achievement, it can be rightly concluded that attending Civic Education classes creates a certain positive effect on students. The main goal of this research is to examine the relationship between student achievement on the ICCS 2022 test and whether they attend Civic Education or Religious Education. The results point to the conclusion that attending Civic Education has a positive effect on students' knowledge, as well as that it contributes to students' better knowledge of democracy. This can be attributed to the quality system support of education to promote democratic principles and the development of such beliefs in students
Simple documents processing model in a network of stations

Published: January 2025

This work focuses on the stationary behaviour of simple documents processing system. We mean by simple document, any document whose processing, at each stage of its progression in its processing graph, is assured by a single person. Our simple document processing system derives from the general model described in previous work. It is an adaptation of the said general model to determine in terms of metrics and performance, its behaviour in the case of simple document processing in stations network. The need to study this specific case comes from the fact that the processing of simple documents is based on a network of stations and the use of priority queues. Our model has a static component and a dynamic component. The static component is a graph that represents the organization of the processing stations. The dynamic component consists of a Markov process and a network of priority queues which model all waiting lines at each processing unit. Key performance indicators were defined and studied point by point and on average. As well as issues specific to the network model associated with priority queues have been analysed and solutions proposed; it is mainly infinite loops and starvations.

Analysis of the Basics of Fatwa Gold Credit DSN-MUI Perspective of Qaidah Ushul Fiqh
Authors: Fajri Nur Setyawan
Published: January 2025

The MUI National Sharia Council has issued a fatwa allowing the sale and purchase of gold on credit. This fatwa at first glance contradicts the hadiths which contain the obligation to exchange gold for gold in cash. Until not a few Islamic economists in books or articles criticized the fatwa. One of them is Erwandi Tarmizi in his book entitled 'Harta Haram Muamalat Contemporary'. The author criticizes the fatwa and explains the weak sides of its argument. So this study aims to analyze the extent of the compatibility of the arguments of the MUI National Sharia Council with the rules of Ushul Fiqh related to Islamic economics. The method used is qualitative with a literature approach, and discriptive-qualitative, with a normative approach. The results showed that some of the arguments used by the MUI National Sharia Council that were considered strong were the propositions of the rules of Ushul Fiqh related to 'illat law and the rules of Fiqh related to 'urf. So the opinion of the MUI National Sharia Council in this matter has been in line with the rules of Ushul Fiqh in concluding a law from its propositions.

This study aims to explore the implementation of the salam contract in the view of Sharia and analyze its prospects in the context of practice in the field. The research method used was a survey study involving participants consisting of religious experts, Islamic finance practitioners, and the general public. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews to gain a comprehensive understanding of their views on the greeting contract. A qualitative analysis was conducted to understand the implications of sharia and the practical prospects of implementing the salam contract. The results showed that the Salam contract can be implemented by taking into account relevant sharia principles, such as fairness and clear legal provisions. However, challenges may arise regarding uniform understanding and the need for appropriate regulation to facilitate widespread practice in the field. The prospect of implementing the contract of greetings in financial and trade transactions promises more inclusive and sustainable economic sustainability under Sharia principles. This research provides a deeper understanding of the relevance and potential of the salam contract in the context of Islamic economics and provides a foundation for further development in its practice in the field.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the Bau Nyale tradition among the Sasak Tribe people on the island of Lombok from the perspective of the fiqhiyah principle "Isti'maalu An-Naas Hujjatun Yajibu Al-'Amalu Bihaa". Bau Nyale, which means "catching sea worms", is an annual tradition containing spiritual, social, and economic values important to the Sasak community. The research method uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with a literature review. Primary sources are data or information obtained directly from the research object in the form of documentation, notes, or written reports from the Bau Nyale event. Secondary sources are data or information that has been collected and published by others in the form of books and scientific articles that discuss traditions relevant to this tradition and Islamic sharia. The results of the study show that several aspects of the Bau Nyale tradition can be considered following sharia principles, such as togetherness and gratitude. However, there are also elements of mystical beliefs that need clarification and adjustment so as not to contradict the teachings of Islam. The role of scholars and religious leaders is very important in providing guidance and views on the adjustment of this tradition.

Objective: This study aims to explore the development, effectiveness, and challenges of Islamic banking services in the Rajshahi region and analyze their contribution to economic development, job creation, and social justice. Islamic banking, based on ethical and interest-free principles, has become an integral part of the region's financial landscape. The study also evaluates how Islamic banking aligns with the cultural, ethical, and economic needs of the local community. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this research is grounded in Islamic economic principles, which promote financial inclusion, distributive justice, and ethically driven economic development. Literature Review: Previous literature highlights the potential of Islamic banking to empower communities economically, despite challenges such as limited public awareness, regulatory constraints, and operational limitations. Methods: The study employs a mixed-method approach, combining primary data collected through surveys and interviews, with secondary data analysis of relevant literature. Surveys were conducted with Islamic banking customers in the Rajshahi region, while interviews involved practitioners and experts in the field. Results: The findings reveal that public trust in Islamic banking in Rajshahi is steadily increasing, resulting in a positive impact on regional economic growth. Islamic banking services have proven effective in fostering community economic empowerment and promoting equitable financial practices. However, barriers such as insufficient awareness, regulatory hurdles, and operational infrastructure constraints continue to hinder the full realization of its potential. Implications: The implications of this study emphasize the need for structural reforms to enhance the effectiveness of Islamic banking services. These reforms include improving financial literacy on Islamic banking, streamlining regulations, and strengthening the operational capacity of financial institutions. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in its integrated analysis of the social, cultural, and economic dimensions of Islamic banking in Rajshahi and its strategic recommendations for maximizing its contribution to sustainable development. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and researchers in fostering a robust and inclusive Islamic banking system, ensuring it becomes a key pillar of regional economic development.

Conclusion: The study recommends the need for stricter spatial policies and better risk management to control development in landslide-prone areas. In conclusion, wise management and integration of landslide risk maps in urban planning are essential to mitigate the negative impacts of land use change and protect communities from disasters. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers a unique contribution by combining spatial-temporal analysis using Landsat satellite imagery with landslide risk maps to assess the impact of unplanned urbanization on landslide-prone areas, providing new insights into the relationship between urban development and disaster risk in Ambon City.
The impact of overtime duration variations on labor productivity in apartment construction projects: A study on engineering and disaster management in the construction sector
Authors: Mirnayani  , Paradiba Hafisa
Published: January 2025

Background: Construction projects, especially apartment buildings, often face challenges such as resource limitations, unpredictable weather, and schedule delays, which lead to increased costs and reduced productivity. Overtime is a commonly adopted strategy to address these issues; however, its effect on labor productivity is complex. Methods: This study investigates the impact of varying overtime durations (1, 2, and 3 hours) on labor productivity and Labour Utilization Rate (LUR) for three critical tasks: rebar installation, concrete casting, and formwork installation in the Sky House Alam Sutera project. The Productivity Rating method and LUR analysis were used to evaluate normal productivity and productivity during overtime, with data collected through direct observation, interviews, and project documentation analysis. Findings: The results reveal that while overtime increases daily output, it also reduces productivity per hour as work hours extend. Rebar installation exhibited the most significant decline in productivity, from 493.529 kg/day during regular hours to 345.470 kg/day with 3 hours of overtime. Correspondingly, the LUR improved with overtime, with rebar installation increasing from 68% under normal conditions to 72% with 3 hours of overtime. Similarly, the cost of labor increased by 9%–23% due to overtime, depending on the task and duration. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the optimal overtime duration is 1 hour, balancing productivity gains, cost efficiency, and LUR improvements, while prolonged overtime may lead to diminishing returns due to worker fatigue. This study provides insights into managing overtime in construction projects, emphasizing the importance of controlling overtime durations to achieve project objectives efficiently. By integrating LUR analysis, this research offers a comprehensive understanding of how labor utilization can be optimized alongside productivity and cost management during project acceleration. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers an original perspective by examining the impact of varying overtime durations on both labor productivity and Labor Utilization Rate (LUR) in the context of construction projects, using a detailed analysis of three critical tasks. The integration of LUR alongside traditional productivity metrics provides a comprehensive approach to understanding labor efficiency, cost management, and the diminishing returns of overtime, offering valuable insights for optimizing project schedules and resource allocation.
