Критерии художественной критики в российских журналах «Серебряного века»
Authors: Грачева Светлана Михайловна
Published: December 2023

Начало ХХ века – «Cеребряный век» русской культуры, новый подъем философии, науки, литературы, художественного творчества, живописи, скульптуры, архитектуры, театра, всех видов искусства. Художественная критика в это время обращена к явлениям культуры и искусства, преимущественно, современным самим критикам. Культурфеноменом стала ретроспективная критика, рассматривающая произведения прошлых эпох. Отличительными чертами критики этого периода являются эстетизм и пассеизм. Наряду с исследованием современного искусства критики занимались переоценкой истории искусства, выявляя новые имена, произведения и их особенности в искусстве прежних эпох. Ключевую роль в расцвете критики играли знаменитые литературно-художественные журналы «Искусство и художественная промышленность», «Мир искусства», «Весы», «Искусство», «Золотое руно», «Старые годы», «Аполлон» и другие издания, повлиявшие на развитие русской культуры в целом. Важно рассмотреть, какое место в них занимала художественная критика и как ее оценивали теоретики и историки искусства. В статье исследуются критерии анализа произведений искусства, основные концепции и теоретико-эстетические подходы художественной критики Серебряного века.
Bis(2-cyanoacetohydrazide) as precursors for synthesis of novel azoles/azines and their biological evaluation
Authors: Sophy Mohamed Ahmed Elian , Reheim Mohamed Ahmed Mahmoud Abdel
Published: December 2023

The present work deals with the synthesis of 2-cyano-N′-(3-(2-(2-cyanoacetyl) hydrazinyl) cyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene) acetohydrazide 3 that used as a key precursor in the manufacture of new heterocyclic derivatives, such as pyrazole, pyrane, pyridine, and pyrole incorporating cyclohexene moiety via its reaction with a variety of nucleophilic and electrophilic reagents. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by their elemental analyses (IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and Mass spectra) and assessed for their anti-microbial activity.
Strategy is Structure. A Systems Theory-Based Definition of Strategy
Authors: Kühl Stefan
Published: December 2023

Hardly any other management concept sounds as hackneyed as strategy, and at the same time hardly any other concept in organizational science is as vaguely defined. As a means of escaping the conceptual tangle, this article suggests a systems theory-based definition which allows us to sort out the various threads of the strategy discussion. Strategy, according to this interpretation, entails programs that search for the means to achieve previously defined goals. This makes it possible to systematically link classical notions of strategy to discussions concerning organizational theory. Casting the concept of strategy in terms of systems theory enables us to resolve the artificial contradiction between strategy and structure, clarify the relationship between end and means, determine the relationship between a plan and its practical implementation, relativize the importance of strategies, and explain the surprising limitation of the strategy discussion to businesses.
Amniotic fluid embolism: a reappraisal
Authors: Young Bruce K. , Florine Magdelijns Pascalle , Chervenak Judith L. , Chan Michael
Published: December 2023

Objectives

Using cases from our own experience and from the published literature on amniotic fluid embolism (AFE), we seek to improve on existing criteria for diagnosis and discern associated risk factors. Additionally, we propose a novel theory of pathophysiology.

Methods

This retrospective case review includes eight cases of AFE from two hospital systems and 21 from the published literature. All cases were evaluated using the modified criteria for research reporting of AFE by Clark et al. in Am J Obstet Gynecol, 2016;215:408–12 as well as our proposed criteria for diagnosis. Additional clinical and demographic characteristics potentially correlated with a risk of AFE were included and analyzed using descriptive analysis.

Results

The incidence of AFE was 2.9 per 100,000 births, with five maternal deaths in 29 cases (17.2 %) in our series. None of the cases met Clark’s criteria while all met our criteria. 62.1 % of patients were over the age of 32 years and two out of 29 women (6.9 %) conceived through in-vitro fertilization. 6.5 % of cases were complicated by fetal death. Placenta previa occurred in 13.8 %. 86.2 % of women had cesarean sections of which 52.0 % had no acute maternal indication.

Conclusions

Our criteria identify more patients with AFE than others with a low likelihood of false positives. Clinical and demographic associations in our review are consistent with those previously reported. A possible relationship between cesarean birth and risk of AFE was identified using our criteria. Additionally, we propose a new hypothesis of pathophysiology.
Opinion Events: Types and opinion markers in English social media discourse
Authors: Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk Barbara , Liebeskind Chaya , Bączkowska Anna , Ruzaite Jurate , Dylgjeri Ardita , Kazazi Ledia , Lombart Erika
Published: December 2023

The paper investigates various definitions of the concept of opinion as opposed to factual or evidence-based statements and proposes a taxonomy of opinions expressed in English as identified in selected social media. A discussion situates opinions in the realm of pragmatics and reaches to philosophy of language and cognitive science. The research methodology combines a thorough linguistic analysis of opinions, proposing their multifaceted taxonomy with the automatically generated lexical embeddings of positive and negative lexicon acquired from the analysed opinionated texts. As proposed, the definition of the concept of opinion is best apprehended when looked upon in terms of an opinion event, with a number of necessary conditions on the one hand, and those that are characteristic of an explicit opinion prototype on the other. Lists of opinion discourse markers show their preferential uses either in positive or negative opinionated texts; however, no sets of necessary and/or sufficient opinion markers properties have been acquired from the analysed texts. The conclusions indicate a polysemous understanding of naturally occurring social media opinionated texts and a definitional flexibility of the boundaries around lexical positive and negative types of opinion markers.
Additive Manufacturing of Metals—Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation—Defect Detection in Parts
Authors:   ASTM International
Published: December 2023

Description

In response to the urgent need to develop standards for additive manufacturing (AM), this technical report initially specifies the nondestructive testing (NDT) methods that have the potential to detect defects and determine residual strain distribution that are generated in AM processes. A number of these methods have been verified. The strategy adopted was to review existing NDT standards for mature manufacturing processes that are similar to AM, namely, casting and welding. This potentially reduced the number of standards required to comprehensively cover AM defects. For identified AM unique defects, this technical report proposes a two-level NDT approach: a star artifact as an initial quality indicator (IQI) and an à la carte artifact for which an example shows the specific steps to follow for the specific AM part to be built, paving the way for a structured and comprehensive framework.
Constitutive KCC2 Cell- and Synapse-Specifically Regulates NMDA Receptor Activity in the Spinal Cord

Published: December 2023

K+-Cl−cotransporter-2 (KCC2) critically controls neuronal chloride homeostasis and maintains normal synaptic inhibition by GABA and glycine. Nerve injury diminishes synaptic inhibition in the spinal cord via KCC2 impairment. However, how KCC2 regulates nociceptive input to spinal excitatory and inhibitory neurons remains elusive. Here, we show that basal GABA reversal potentials were significantly more depolarized in vesicular GABA transporter (VGAT)-expressing inhibitory neurons than those in vesicular glutamate transporter-2 (VGluT2)-expressing excitatory neurons in spinal cords of male and female mice. Strikingly, inhibiting KCC2 with VU0463271 increased currents elicited by puff NMDA and the NMDAR-mediated frequency of mEPSCs in VGluT2, but not in VGAT, dorsal horn neurons. Notably, VU0463271 had no effect on EPSCs monosynaptically evoked from the dorsal root in VGluT2 neurons. Furthermore, VU0463271 augmented α2δ-1–NMDAR interactions and their protein levels in spinal cord synaptosomes. InCacna2d1KO mice, VU0463271 had no effect on puff NMDA currents or the mEPSC frequency in dorsal horn neurons. Disrupting α2δ-1–NMDAR interactions with α2δ-1 C-terminus mimicking peptide diminished VU0463271-induced potentiation in the mEPSC frequency and puff NMDA currents in VGluT2 neurons. Additionally, intrathecal injection of VU0463271 reduced mechanical and thermal thresholds in wild-type mice, but not inCacna2d1KO mice. VU0463271-induced pain hypersensitivity in mice was abrogated by co-treatment with the NMDAR antagonist, pregabalin (an α2δ-1 inhibitory ligand), or α2δ-1 C-terminus mimicking peptide. Our findings suggest that KCC2 controls presynaptic and postsynaptic NMDAR activity specifically in excitatory dorsal horn neurons. KCC2 impairment preferentially potentiates nociceptive transmission between spinal excitatory interneurons via α2δ-1-bound NMDARs.

Authors: Panuš Jan , Hoffmannová Petra , Kocián Jiří , Nemeškal Jiří
Published: December 2023

The study presents the introductory work, development and creation of interactive maps, which are one of the results of the Historical Sources of the Giant Mountains project. The goal was to present the newly collected statistical data and previously unused map materials in digital form in a shape that would be accessible to the widest possible range of users and at the same time provide sufficiently deep insight for professional researchers. The result is two freely available maps documenting the development of the Krkonoše region during the 20th century. The first focuses on changes in the structure of the population, the second on changes in the structure of the economy and transport infrastructure of the region. Both maps enable comparative visualization of various types of statistical data against each other and at the same time a diachronic comparison of the development in question in chronologically organized time layers representing the logical periodization of the history of the region. The third map provides users with information on the location and types of various kinds of sources for the study of the history of the Krkonoše Mountains.
Specters of Brexit in Recent British Horror
Authors: Tyree J. M.
Published: December 2023

This article considers a new series of uncanny films by UK filmmakers for their connections with the classics of the “folk horror” series of the 1970s and for their implicit commentary on ecology, gender, and postcolonialism in the post-Brexit context. Critical attention focuses primarily on two films—Mark Jenkin’s Enys Men (2022) and Joanna Hogg’s The Eternal Daughter (2022)—with secondary emphasis on a new “cycle” or “mini-wave” of folklore-inflected horror films set in liminal British spaces, including Ben Wheatley’s In the Earth (2021), Charlotte Colbert’s She Will (2021), Lee Haven Jones’s The Feast (Welsh: Gwledd, 2021), and Alex Garland’s Men (2022).
Greta Gerwig’s Girlhood Trilogy
Authors: Benson-Allott Caetlin
Published: December 2023

On the occasion of Barbie’s blockbuster summer, FQ columnist Caetlin Benson-Allott situates director Greta Gerwig’s latest success in relation to her previous two films, Little Women (2019) and Lady Bird (2017). All three films are female-centered coming-of-age stories, prompting Benson-Allott to read them as a trilogy. Doing so not only honors Gerwig’s achievement as an auteur, Benson-Allott suggests, but also generates important questions about what these films say about girlhood and middle-class white American women’s quest for autonomy and self-determination. Gerwig’s trilogy reveals an artist struggling to make sense of girl culture and the societal paradigms that impact it.
The Duty of National Administrative Authorities to Respect the EU’s Fundamental Rights in Fining Proceedings and the Consequences Thereof
Authors: Miąsik Dawid , Kapica Kamil
Published: December 2023

Fines levied on individuals, including entrepreneurs, are measures of vital importance for securing the effectiveness of EU law. They are primarily imposed by national administrative authorities who apply national laws. Those authorities must respect the EU’s fundamental rights during national fining proceedings following the Fransson and Pfleger formulas. They must also respect the general principles of EU law. These rights and principles shield individual entrepreneurs against arbitrary and unlawful activities by national authorities. They determine whether an individual can be fined, how high a fine is legitimate and how the fining proceedings should be conducted.
DAC7 Directive 2021/514/EU: Review of Some Solutions in the Context of the Fundamental Rights of Entrepreneurs
Authors: Zapolska Karolina
Published: December 2023

This article presents selected provisions of EU Council Directive 2021/514 of 22 March 2021 amending Directive 2011/16/EU on administrative cooperation in the field of taxation, known as the DAC7 Directive. On 8 February 2023 a draft law amending the Act on the exchange of tax information with other countries and certain other acts was published by the Polish government. The draft law implements the provisions of the DAC7 Directive. The author attempts to make a concise description of the provisions of the DAC7 Directive, with particular emphasis on the new obligations of entrepreneurs in this respect. The issue of respecting the fundamental rights of entrepreneurs, especially in the context of the freedom to conduct business activity, is also discussed. At the same time, the author points to possible problems that the Polish legislature may encounter when transposing or implementing documents of such content to the Polish legal system. The study of the outlined problems is mainly based on the comparative, dogmatic and legal methods. Considering the range of issues discussed in the article, as well as the need to limit the work, it should be noted that the text will not be comprehensive and only highlights some selected problems.
Sped-Pro: The Impact of Rule-of-Law Backsliding on the Enforcement of (EU) Competition Law
Authors: Cseres Kati , Hwija Karolina
Published: December 2023

The Sped-Pro judgment concerns an action for annulment of an EU Commission decision rejecting a complaint alleging the abuse of a dominant position by the Polish state-owned railway company PKP Cargo. In this judgment, the General Court for the first time established a direct link between systematic deficiencies in the legal order of a Member State and the ability of its competition authority to investigate and take enforcement action under EU law. The General Court addressed issues of the rule of law as an element of effective competition law enforcement and the case allocation principles between the Commission and National Competition Authorities (NCAs) under the decentralised enforcement system of Regulation 1/2003. The General Court now requires the Commission to examine, when handling complaints, whether an NCA can actually enforce EU law effectively.
The Investigative Powers of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection and Directive (EU) 2019/1 of the European Parliament and of the Council: Selected Issues
Authors: Korycińska-Rządca Paulina
Published: December 2023

Directive (EU) 2019/1 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018, to empower the competition authorities of the Member States to be more effective enforcers and to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market, obliges Member States to harmonize the law governing, amongst others, the powers of national competition authorities, including investigative powers. The Act aimed at the transposition of this directive was passed in Poland with a significant delay. This article analyses the provisions of the Act of 16 February 2007 on competition and consumer protection, in force on 4 February 2021 (the deadline for the transposition of Directive 2019/1), regulating the investigative powers of the president of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK), and the changes in the relevant scope adopted by the Act of 9 March 2023 amending the Act on competition and consumer protection and some other acts. The research problem includes determining whether the regulations that were in force between 4 February 2021 and 20 May 2023 governing the investigative powers of the UOKiK president, in connection with proceedings for infringement of the prohibition of competition-restricting practices, were in line with the requirements of Directive 2019/1 and whether the abovementioned amendment act removed any existing discrepancies.
The Internal Reporting Procedure for Breaches of Law and the Protection of the Entrepreneur’s Interest
Authors: Szabłowska-Juckiewicz Marzena , Giedrewicz-Niewińska Aneta
Published: December 2023

Directive 2019/1937 comprehensively regulates the issue of reporting violations of the law and the protection of persons making such a report. The EU legislation formulates obligations regarding the establishment of channels and procedures for making internal reports, setting the framework for such a procedure and leaving it to national legislatures to specify it. The Polish legislature took action in this regard by preparing the draft Act of 5 January 2023 on the protection of persons reporting violations of the law. Due to the sensitivity of the matter, the implementation of formal mechanisms for reporting irregularities in the workplace is undoubtedly associated with many challenges. Most often in this context, challenges related to ensuring sufficient whistleblower protection are mentioned. Meanwhile, it also seems necessary when implementing such procedures to notice the challenge of the protection of entrepreneurs’ interests. A number of solutions included in the Polish draft act raise doubts and objections as to the correct implementation of the EU directive.
Wertpapierbasierte Rentenversicherung in Deutschland
Authors: Traun Maximilian , Horsch Andreas
Published: December 2023

Die gesetzliche Rentenversicherung und mithin der Kern der Altersvorsorge basiert in Deutschland traditionell auf einem Umlageverfahren. Dessen Funktionsfähigkeit ist insbesondere aufgrund demographischer Entwicklungen gefährdet. Alternativen werden kontinuierlich debattiert, wurden bis dato aber nicht in Reformen umgesetzt. Ein aktueller Vorschlag wird seit dem Antritt der rot-grün-gelben Regierungskoalition 2022 als Generationenkapital diskutiert. Ausgehend von dieser Bezeichnung und den noch ambitionierteren Ansprüchen der Politik wird das für Deutschland vorgelegte Konzept im Abgleich mit (vermeintlichen) internationalen Vorbildern dargestellt und kritisch analysiert.
Viertagewoche - ein Modell für alle?
Authors: Schäfer Holger
Published: December 2023

Die Festlegung der Arbeitszeit und der Anzahl der Arbeitstage sind Sache der Tarifpartner. Die Forderung nach der Einführung einer Viertagewoche ist daher eine tarifpolitische Frage. Die These, eine entsprechende Arbeitszeitverkürzung könne durch einen Zuwachs der Stundenproduktivität kompensiert werden, ist durch bislang vorgelegte Erfahrungsberichte nicht belegt und erscheint angesichts der Produktivitätsentwicklung unwahrscheinlich. Somit besteht das Risiko eines Rückgangs der Wertschöpfung in einer Phase, in der der deutsche Arbeitsmarkt demografisch ohnehin unter Druck gerät.

EULER CHARACTERISTIC FOR TEACHERS
Authors: Supino Paola
Published: December 2023

En este trabajo se propone la famosa fórmula de Euler para las superficies en el espacio, que consideramos ser un tema interesante tratar en las clase, para destacar cómo las matemáticas, especialmente en la geometría, hay muchas maneras diferentes de investigación de un mismo objeto. A través de algunos ejemplos, en la definición de la característica de Euler, se destaca la necesidad de introducir no una tessalatión de superficies, sino una triangulación. También sugerimos que los profesores utilizan la característica de Euler para poner de relieve las diferencias entre sólidos topológicos con y sin agujeros.
Prediction of orthodontic treatment duration based on the alveolar bone formula
Authors: Pagonis Tom C , Viazis Anthony D
Published: December 2023

Orthodontic treatment duration remains a challenge to predict, often relying on clinical experience and scientifically unestablished or arbitrary norms. This article presents a biologically based approach, focusing on alveolar bone morphology, and introduces novel concepts of cupping depth, probing width, probing height, probing overbite and probing distance measurements as predictive parameters for orthodontic treatment duration. A comprehensive treatment protocol, integrating these measurements into the newly proposed Alveolar Bone Formula (ABF), is outlined. This innovative approach signifies a shift towards a more personalized and effective orthodontic treatment planning process.
Effect of short-term heat application on fine motor skills in an online competitive video gamer: a case report
Authors: ÇAKIROĞLU Mehmet Alphan , ELVAN Ata , KARGIN Hilal , SAĞ Zeynep , SIMSEK Engin
Published: December 2023

Competitive video gaming -or in a more professional and commercial definition; e-sports- is a well-funded and rapidly growing field. However, there is no detailed information about the performance of these gamers related to heating even though heat application is commonly used among players. A 21-year-old male gamer was included in this report to assess the effects of heat application on fine motor skills. Fine motor skills (reaction time, overall mouse control, repeated keypress) were assessed before and after heat application by using open-source software that is being currently used in other fields of health sciences. It was noted that the short-term heat application may have positive effects, especially in the mouse hand however the results of the keyboard hand were controversial.
A Bibliometric Analysis Concerning Local Ecological Knowledge on Elasmobranchs and Chimaeras
Authors: Custodio Nascimento Marina , Santos Sérgio Ricardo , Vianna Marcelo
Published: December 2023

The absence of historical data on endangered species poses a conservation and socio-environmental problem. It is currently estimated that about one-third of all Chondrichthyes are under some level of threat, with knowledge gaps for many species. The aim of this research was to carry out a scientometric analysis on the scientific production concerning Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) on Chondrichthyes. Searches on the subject were carried out at the SciELO, Scopus and Web of Science databases. The retrieved publications were assessed and sorted by a list of  inclusion criteria, totaling 120 articles. The findings indicate that studies concerning LEK applied to Chondrichthyes assessments have recently gained relevance. The studies were published in a wide variety of journals and by researchers from different countries. Most research was aimed at marine ecosystems, and interviewees were usually professional fishers. From 179 studied Chondrichthyes, most are large sharks with conspicuous diagnostic characters, such as Galeocerdo cuvier, Isurus oxyrinchus and Sphyrna lewini, mainly in publications focused on fisheries. Studies addressing ethnoknowledge as a historical data collection source are undoubtedly paramount, and the need for further investments aiming at research in countries with scarce data addressing other actors, themes and scarcely studied taxa, is clear.
Ciencia abierta y normatividades para implementar su apertura en Latinoamérica: tendencias, análisis y recomendaciones
Authors: Palma Peña Juan Miguel
Published: December 2023

El movimiento de ciencia abierta ha puesto en evidencia la implementación de diversas acciones informativas y de infraestructura  técnica, tecnológica y legal para maximizar la apertura de productos de investigación financiados con fondos públicos. La premisa del presente trabajo establece que un factor fundamental para ampliar el acceso a productos de investigación son las normatividades legales con las cuales sustentar su disponibilidad, visibilidad y acceso. El objetivo es identificar y estudiar las normatividades para el uso de productos de investigación de terceros en Latinoamérica en el marco de la ciencia abierta, así como delimitar la vinculación de dichas normas con el logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la UNESCO. La metodología consiste en una revisión bibliográfica, con métodos cuantitativos para desarrollar los niveles exploratorio, descriptivo, explicativo y predictivo; se seleccionó una muestra aleatoria de los 20 países latinoamericanos; para la búsqueda y la recuperación de datos se precisó un conjunto de variables; las fuentes de consulta fueron literatura especializada, portales web oficiales de gobiernos, universidades y bibliotecas, y el directorio ROARMAP. El análsis de los resultados obtenidos señala que Latinoamérica ha avanzado sobre las normatividades de acceso abierto, pero se requiere fortalecer y fomentar los derechos, las limitaciones, las excepciones y las licencias por parte de bibliotecas y otras instituciones a fin de consolidar la apertura de productos de investigación de terceros en el marco de la legalidad. De manera general, se concluye que la apertura de la ciencia requiere pasar de ser una buena intención a ser instaurada formalmente con base en normatividades morales, patrimoniales, limitaciones, excepciones y licenciamientos.
El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar y estudiar las garantías para el uso de productos de investigación de terceros en Latinoamérica, así como delimitar la vinculación de dichas normas con el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 16 y sus indicadores 16.10 y 16.10.2 en el marco de la ciencia abierta.
La metodología para la presente investigación es mixta acorde con el objeto de estudio analizado; y se implementan los niveles de investigación descriptivo, clasificatorio, explicativo, predictivo y exploratorio, en función de discutir las funciones y factores para promover la asimilación y comprensión del tema.
Los resultados obtenidos nos señalan que Latinoamérica tiene avances sobre normatividades de acceso abierto y se requiere fortalecer y fomentar la implementación de derechos, limitaciones, excepciones y licencias por parte de bibliotecas y otras instituciones para sustentar legalmente la apertura de productos de investigación.
Una conclusión general consiste en que la apertura de la ciencia requiere pasar de ser una acción de buena intención a ser registrada en garantías morales, patrimoniales, limitaciones, excepciones y licenciamientos para ser implementada formalmente.
La actividad científica estudiantil de la Universidad de Moa, Cuba: análisis bibliométrico en la revista Ciencia & Futuro (2016-2021)
Authors: Suárez Fernández Digna , Bauta Leyva Lisbet , Aldana Aldana Yaritza
Published: December 2023

En Cuba, la investigación y la publicación científicas constituyen parte de la formación profesional en el pregrado. La Universidad de Moa carece de un estudio que ofrezca una perspectiva de la actividad científica estudiantil a partir del desempeño de su producción. El presente trabajo tiene como finalidad caracterizar el comportamiento de la actividad científica estudiantil de esta universidad mediante un análisis bibliométrico de la revista Ciencia & Futuro durante el período 2016-2021. Para ello, se recurrió a métodos teóricos y empíricos, la consulta a especialistas, la entrevista no estructurada a la encargada de la revista y la entrevista a informantes claves para ubicar el contexto en donde se desarrolla el objeto de estudio. Los resultados obtenidos fueron normalizados e importados a EndNote X7 para su posterior procesamiento y análisis. Se definieron indicadores bibliométricos para caracterizar el comportamiento de la producción científica estudiantil en la fuente elegida, tales como productividad por años, productividad por autores, productividad científica por carrera y líneas de investigación, productividad científica por facultades. Se registró un total de 118 publicaciones. El año 2016 fue más productivo y 2021, menos productivo. La carrera más productiva fue Ingeniería Mecánica con 32 publicaciones, lo que representa el 27 % del total. La Facultad de Geología y Minas sobresalió en la cantidad de publicaciones. Los resultados manifiestan elementos favorables, como el seguimiento a la publicación de hallazgos científicos por parte de algunas carreras y el reconocimiento de aquellos estudiantes con una satisfactoria actividad científica. Entre las cuestiones desfavorables figura la necesidad de un mayor seguimiento a la publicación de resultados científicos estudiantiles y la carencia de grupos de investigación multidisciplinares. A manera de conclusión se anotan consideraciones referentes a optimizar la gestión institucional de la actividad científica estudiantil tomando como base estos resultados.
El enfoque de capacidades y determinantes del gasto de bolsillo en salud de los hogares de Argentina
Authors: Basso Martín Alejandro , Gulli Isabel del Valle
Published: December 2023

En el presente trabajo se analiza el gasto de bolsillo en salud de los hogares en Argentina en el marco del enfoque de capacidades. Para ello, se trabajó con la Encuesta Nacional de Gastos de los Hogares, correspondiente al período 2017-2018 y se utilizó como metodología estadística un modelo Tobit.

Teologiczne aspekty formacji liturgicznej
Authors: Sielepin Adelajda
Published: December 2023

The author undertakes the topic of formation connected with liturgy, which has become important since it was rediscovered the significant importance of liturgy for the life of faith and for Christian spirituality. This matter is promoted by the contemporary Magisterium of the Church as the continuation of the priorities of Liturgical Movement and teaching of the Vatican Council II. Generally we speak about formation for liturgy and formation through liturgy. The following study deals with theological aspects of this formation, which come out from the nature of liturgy and they constitute main criteria of liturgical formation. There were considered some theological aspects, such as follows: the primacy of liturgy in the life of the Church, relational dimension of Christianity, the ecclesial awareness, mistagogy, the sense of sacrum and appreciation of sacramentals and eucharistic adoration. It is important that formation is recognized not only as teaching, but as initiation into the living relation with Christ.
Lettera „Desiderio desideravi” del Papa Franceso come una nuova sfida per la formazione liturgica
Authors: Mojzeš Marcel
Published: December 2023

The apostolic letter Desiderio desideravi of the Holy Father Francis goes beyond the liturgical sphere of the Latin tradition and is a challenge also for Eastern Catholics because of its theological, liturgical and spiritual depth. This paper presents some of the main points of this apostolic letter: (1) Godʼs desire is the beginning of liturgical formation; (2) The beauty of the liturgy is more than ritual aestheticism; (3) Amazement before the Paschal Mystery is an essential part of the liturgical act; (4) Formation for the liturgy and formation from the liturgy; (5) The goal of liturgical formation is our conformation to Christ. It means to have the mind, feeling, and will of Christ. The Apostolic Letter Desiderio desideravi confirms once again that the liturgy is the source and summit of all Christian life.
Formation For and Through Liturgy: An Overview of the Liturgical Formation in Contemporary Romanian Orthodoxy
Authors: Login Cezar , Pintea Ştefan (Simeon)
Published: December 2023

The very centre and the best expression of the Orthodox Church is its liturgical life. The Liturgy of the Church is a re-presentation or an actualization of the entire divine economy which becomes effective and redeeming in the life of the universe and of the man, in each epoch. Due to the complex history and structure of its liturgy, the Orthodox Church tried to explain it. In the Romanian Orthodox Church, the explanation of the liturgical life varIed through ages; it was influenced by the cultural developments and by the political conditions in the Romanian territories, until, finally, an autochthonous liturgical tradition finally emerged. During the last two decades, the Holy Synod, the central ecclesial authority, expressed an increase preoccupation to intensify the genuine Christian life of the laity and to render them aware of their ecclesial belonging, to make all church members aware that they belong to the Mystical Body of Christ. This preoccupation intends to deepen the liturgical life theoretically but, foremost, practically, by actively involving the laity in a genuine liturgical life. In order to achieve these purposes, several means might be identified: the printing of new, revised and improved service books, by establishing specific commemorative years for essential Christian topics (i.e., Baptism, Marriage, Unction, Eucharist, Confession), through systematic liturgical catechesis, through a more serious formation of the clergy. The present text will try offer a concise systematic review of the background and of the means used by the Romanian Orthodox Church to accomplish the above mentioned goals. This study will include an analysis of the different editions of the service books and their forewords, which frequently explain the text of the edition, the principles used for the revision and the mystagogy of the services; and an analysis of the commemorative years with liturgical topics (e.g., the Holy Cross; Marriage and Baptism; The Anointing of the Sick; Eucharist and Confession; the parish).

Man has used the sign of the cross for a few thousand years now, ascribing various symbolism to it. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ and Christ’s passion on the cross made Judeo-Christians propagate the idea of the role of Christ’s offering in God’s overall plan of salvation. The aim of the present article is to introduce the reader, based on liturgical and patristic sources, to the beginning and the process of ancient Christians’ adoption of the sign of the cross, their development of symbolic thoughts about the cross and their early practice of drawing the sign of the cross on the body outside the liturgy and during its celebration. The methodology employed for the purpose of this article involves the historical-genetic and comparative method.
