Jurnalismul constructiv și de soluții – avantaje, critici și dileme. Experiența românească: DoR
Authors: Sălcudean Minodora
Published: August 2023

The relationships between journalism and sustainability are seen as interdependent and mutually beneficial. On the one hand, sustainable development also includes a free, autonomous and strong press that can support itself economically, and on the other hand, responsible journalism brings the problems of the current world to the public and it can also involve experts to talk about the solutions possible to these issues, which generates a media discourse about sustainability and resilience now and in the future. The present paper examines the conceptualization of constructive journalism, interrogating, at the same time, its normative and societal role, as well as the resistance of this alternative direction, in the current context, marked by political instability and post-pandemic economic crisis. In Romania, the DoR experience, its course, but also the announced end of this journalistic project, shows the difficulties that constructive journalism encounters.
Figuri mitologice și călători în lumea de dincolo. Incursiune în universul credințelor și basmelor românești
Authors: Oprișor Carmen
Published: August 2023

The present article is based on information from the fields of cultural anthropology and folk literature. In the beginning, details about the main characteristics of the people with special powers are given. Then the features of Rohmans from the Romanian beliefs have been synthesized. Their image combines concrete data from the novel Alexandria with elements from the autochtonous cult of the ancestors. The way Romanians perceive Solomonians gathers components from several layers: mythical, religious and historical. The fairy tale characters who traveled to the other world are either helped by other beings with miraculous powers, or return to their world because they cannot overcome their mortal condition.
Rheintochters Donaufahrt – Carmen Sylva’s Travelogue: A Historical Period as Seen Through the Eyes of a Queen
Authors: Sass Maria
Published: August 2023

Elisabeth of Vienna (1843-1916) (penname Carmen Sylva), was the queen of Romania between 1869 and 1916. She authored a comprehensive oeuvre with a clear pro-dynastic tendency that is highly relevant from the point of view of cultural history and collective memory. The present study is focused on the analysis of the travel journal Rheintochters Donaufahrt, which will be discussed with the help of a cultural studies methodology, namely Clifford Geertz’ concept of “dense description.” When read through this conceptual lens, the text appears multidimensional, the traveler/narrator does not merely observe geographical and historical landmarks but undertakes a cultural journey with multipronged implications. We do not encounter mere culturalist descriptions, but rather a network of symbols implying interculturality, imagology, and the staging of a multicultural world with which the contemporary globalized world is increasingly confronted.
Agenții de degradare și formele de degradare a obiectelor ceramice
Authors: Cursaru-Herlea Simona Maria
Published: August 2023

This article aims to present the effects of the agents of deterioration on ceramics. We focus here on the agents of deterioration that act on the ceramic artifacts in the epoch they were created, on the agents of deterioration that affect these objects in the environment they were preserved, sometimes during thousands of years (in soil, in water and in the internal and external undersurface), but also on the agents of deterioration and the degradation that can occur during or after these artifacts have been removed from the environment they were found in, e.g. during sampling, cleaning, drawing, packaging, or in museums, during storing, exhibiting, or when doing conservation or restoration work. Hence, we refer to archaeological ceramics found in soil or marine environments, decorative ceramics from architectural contexts and to ethnographic ceramics. Detecting the mistakes made in the technological process of ceramic production which lead to defects/ vices that can cause degradation of the ceramic material even after removing it from the environment in which it was preserved and highlighting the external deterioration agents which affect ceramics under various forms are mandatory in order to adopt a correct methodology for the preservation and restoration of ceramic objects.
Patrimoniu cultural digital. Formare și standardizare

Keywords: heritage, cultural heritage, digital cultural heritage, digital cultural heritage standardization and terminology.
Eminescu-thermosof sau cum intră știința în poezie (II)
Authors: Dumitru Teodora
Published: August 2023

In this essay I show that the picture of universal extinction in the poem Satire I of the Romantic poet Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889) is deeply and rigorously inspired by a theory of thermodynamics from the 1870s, more precisely by the theory of universal “death” launched in the second part of 19th century by physicists William Thomson and Rudolf Clausius. My interpretation addresses competing interpretations, from literary-centric scenarios claiming that Eminescu’s representation of the extinction is inspired by or approaches models of the mythological-Christian tradition or universal literature, to scenarios that also launch hypotheses in the field of science, but other than thermodynamics. I am also interested in producing here, in the alternative, a critique of the thesis – widespread not only in popular culture but also in the most serious academic circles – according to which many of the discoveries of modern and even contemporary science would have been “announced,” “contained,” or “coded” in literary fiction, mythology, religious narratives etc., from ancient times (Indian, Judeo-Christian mythology etc.) to modern authors. Keywords: classical mechanics, cosmology, termodinamics, entropy, poetry, Immanuel Kant, William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), Rudolf Clausius, Spiru Haret, Mihai Eminescu, Scrisoarea I, G. Călinescu, Ion Heliade Rădulescu.
Review: Imre Dániel, agentul cultural al lui Ignác Batthyány sau cum s-a constituit biblioteca Batthyaneum din Alba Iulia
Authors: Ciortea Marcela
Published: August 2023

Portretul unui iluminist ardelean. Bibliotecarul Imre Dániel (1754-1804)/ Portrait of a Transylvanian Enlightener, Librarian Imre Dániel (1754-1804) is a monography centered around the figure of a catholic Armenian, a native from Dumbrăveni, nowadays in the county of Sibiu, who, alongside bishop Ignác Batthyány, developed rich scientific and cultural activities. Educated in schools from Cluj and Vienna, Imre Dániel had vast knowledge of Latin paleography, codicology, diplomacy, library, foreign languages, which helped him in his activity as a librarian, copyist and researcher, investigated by Andreea Mârza for a timespan of approximately 30 years. Ending up in Transylvania after being promoted as bishop, interested in the history of the Church of Transylvania and Hungary, Ignác Batthyány, who was planning to transform Alba Iulia intro an important scientific and cultural center, sent the scholar of Dumbrăveni to different parts of Europe, in order to acquire manuscripts or printed books for the library of Alba Iulia. Besides book acquisition, which increased the size of his personal library, brought by the bishop to Transylvania, Imre Dániel is the author of the first incunabula catalogue from Batthyaneum Library.
Memorie, istorie şi politic(i) în „Europele Europei” înainte şi după 1989
Authors: Iorga Alina
Published: August 2023

The article provides some relevant insights about the dynamics of the European politics of history and memory against the background of the third wave of European integration, which is the so called “cultural Europeanization.” These dynamics, originated in Western European both cultural turn of the 1970s and memory boom of the 1980s, is inscribed in the complex geopolitical landscape configured after the end of Cold War, within the context of European enlargement and the struggles for recognition of the “new Europe”. The competition of “Europe’s Europes” memorial narratives about the “painful pasts” of West and East, which is also a competition between two mnemonic paradigms (cosmopolitan vs. national(ist)-antagonist), is followed against the background of both the transnational turn in memory studies and memory politics and the re-nationalization of European politics and ideologies, tightly connected to the post–Cold War developments.
Trauma și memoria războiului civil spaniol
Authors: Duca Crina
Published: August 2023

The study examines from a historical-psychological perspective the suffering faced by the victims of the Spanish Civil War in emotional, social, economic and living conditions generally incompatible with the simplest exercise of recovery from trauma. The victims, unlike the victors, who used and abused their right to mourn and honour their fallen, were forced to swallow their tears and grief, to hide or deny their ideas, to be ashamed of their ideological condition, to impose an iron silence on themselves; in short, to drown their own memory and with it any possibility of mourning or recovering from the horrors of war.
De la cărți la date. Schimbări paradigmatice în studiile literare după turnura digitală
Authors: Modoc Emanuel , Gârdan Daiana
Published: August 2023

Employed in the study of national or transnational literatures, the relevance of digital humanities, computational analyses, and quantitative sociology can no longer be ignored. In this paper, we aim to argue that, in spite of it still being seen as a niche endeavor, the digital or quantitative study of literature generates paradigmatic shifts in literary scholarship, both in literary criticism and comparative studies. In order to demonstrate this statement, the following study will illustrate how three core principles of digital humanities are actively shaping humanities as we know it. These principles – openness, replicability, and collaboration – challenge the way we understand the role of the literary historian and their „traditional” tasks. To consolidate this argumentation further, we will briefly present an example of how digital humanities start changing the dominant narrative in Romania.
Postumanul ca world literature. Cazul SF-ului românesc interbelic
Authors: Lupașcu Emanuel
Published: August 2023

This study deals with three science fiction novels published in the Romanian interwar period, using concepts and theories from the field of posthumanism. My approach will consist of three interconnected but equally important steps. In the first place, these novels are part of a larger cluster of 20th-century art that thematizes technological development and the ‘crisis’ of modern man. Their importance also arises from the need to expand our understanding of world literature beyond the phenomenon of translation and the national canon. In addition, I will examine how posthuman configurations activate different reactions to the dominant ideologies of the age (modern machinism, feminism, species expansion, etc.). A second step will entail reconstructing the scientific, ideological, social and artistic contexts that made the articulation of the three novels. Last but not least, in the background of my study, I will lead a demonstration of the incompatibility between posthumanist ideology and the interwar science fiction novel, which rather features a posthuman imaginary without posthumanism. This result invalidates Simona Micali’s thesis that considers any SF product as a critique of anthropocentrism.
Patru cazuri de violență împotriva scriitorilor: Salman Rushdie, Ashraf Fayadh, Meral Șimșek, Nedim Türfent – limbaje ale adevărului
Authors: Vancu Radu
Published: August 2023

The article examines some cases of violence against writers in Turkey, in Saudi Arabia, and in the United States. Using as starting point Salman Rushdie’s essays from Languages of Truth, as well as his atrocious experience of the attack against him in August 2022, the article moves on to examine the examples of other writers abused not by attackers, but by governments, whose violence is more often than that of the isolated agressors. The article also documents the instrumental assistance offered to these abused writers by PEN International and its branches.
Explorer la différence dans le roman S’adapter de Clara Dupont-Monod
Authors: Baron Dumitra
Published: August 2023

The article focuses on the literary treatment of “difference” in the novel of the contemporary French author Clara Dupont-Monod, S’adapter (2021), by taking into account different levels such as the thematic, narrative, intertextual ones; the issue of personal identity is also explored in close relationship with the metaphor of “reclusion”. The study also observes various mechanisms of rendering this difference in order to explore how literature assumes the role of “repairing the world” by building authentic connections.

The article also includes a discussion of Jude’s short film Semiotic Plastic, which was shot at the same time as Bad Luck Banging.
Între nostalgia restauratoare şi muzeul fantomelor utopiei. Practici nostalgice în spaţiul cultural (post)sovietic
Authors: Iorga Alina
Published: August 2023

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, particularly during the hard transition of the 90s, the highly polarized Russian society revealed two main forms of remembering and coping with recent past. This past was either idealized as a time of imperial glory, national pride, and relative welfare, even if it also included periods of anomie (the late Stalin era) or stagnation (the Brejnev era), either treated as a period of significant traumas that necessitated persistent recognition and working through. As for the official memory regimes, if the first post-Soviet decade was dominated by the totalitarian anticommunist (and antinostalgic) paradigm, the 2000s brought a radical turn, with the rise of victimhood nationalism and “redemptive” authoritarianism of the Putin era. The new mnemonic regime is shaped by an official, “patriotic” restorative nostalgia that is also placed in the centre of the presidential cultural programe designed to legitimize the authoritarian system and to support the restoration of a great, mythical Russia. Against this background, new forms of counter-memory and counter-nostalgia began to manifest within both the social and cultural field. One of the most remarkable exemples is offered within the “new realities” created by the young photographer Danila Tkachenko, who’s compositions marked by a “second-hand nostalgia” challenge both the Soviet utopia and its official nostalgic-populist recostructions. By means of a special nostalgic technique based on reframing the remnants and the “trukhliashechkas” of the Soviet past – (re)interpreted as the symbols of “the perfect technocratic future that never came” –, the young artist also deconstruct the imagined “sovietness” embedded in the cultural-political products shaped by the statist patriotic nostalgia. His representations of the post-Soviet landscape are those of “a ghost of utopia”, a land of ruins, of abandoned cities, of ecological disasters, and of millions unburied deads of the GULAG.
Samuel Beckett and E. M. Cioran: The Passion for Ruins
Authors: Ionescu Arleen
Published: August 2023

In this article I will focus on three major intersections between Samuel Beckett’s and E. M. Cioran’s works, irrespective of the fact that Beckett chose mainly the medium of prose and theatre, while Cioran chose the philosophical essay. Starting from several biographical encounters mentioned in Beckett’s Letters and Cioran’s Cahiers and the section on Beckett from Anathemas and Admirations, I will first explore autobiography as a “figure of reading” (Paul de Man), and use my role as a reader to become a sort of judge who looks into the different ways in which Beckett and Cioran wrote a type of autobiography always veiled through what I will call Facing / Defacing / Figuring / Disfiguring, also searching for possible reasons why they insisted on believing that in life one must keep on trying against all odds. The second comparison will delve into Beckett’s and Cioran’s “absentheism” (a concept I borrow from Jean-Luc Nancy) and negative theology. The third analogy will deal with the way in which Beckett and Cioran performed failure in their works.
Surse ale melancoliei în cinema. Trăsături ale bovarismului în filmul Scurta întâlnire de David Lean
Authors: Negrea Claudia
Published: August 2023

The process of identifying sources and representations of melancholy in cinema implies exploring character typologies that present aspects or even clear symptoms of what is currently termed as melancholic depression or major depression disorder. David Lean’s Brief Encounter (1945), an adaptation of Noël Coward’s short play Still Life (1936), presents female melancholy as an inherent symptom of the bovaryc character. This paper analyzes aspects of melancholy studying the case of Lean’s main character, Laura, and relating it to the features of bovarysm, as theorized and exhaustively explored by French philosopher Jules de Gaultier in the essay Le Bovarysme (1892). To what extent is melancholy an inherent symptom of the bovaric character?

While exploring the ongoing psychological research on melancholy and depression, we find it difficult to determine whether the character suffers from major depression disorder, as it is impossible to ascertain the specific cause of their symptoms, especially if they relate to internal, neurobiological systems. The apparent cause of their unhappiness seems to be the result of their perception of romantic relationships and their surrounding reality that does not reflect this distortion. Consequently, the analysis mainly focuses on the detectable elements and activators of the protagonist’s melancholic disposition.
Filmul despre și pentru copii în cinemaul stalinist din România
Authors: Grancea Mihaela
Published: August 2023

While the ’50s represented a new decade of expressiveness in western cinema, along with new ideological approaches, the feature film in the European communist space was determined by the nature of the political totalitarian regimes and the specific phenomena of the “cultural revolution.” In totalitarianism, the relation between civitas/community and the feature film followed the ancient model of the rapport of the Greek city to the civic and ethical finality of the theatre. Under these circumstances, the film becomes the most vulnerable of arts. Cinema was confiscated and transformed into engaged art, with an essential role in building the paradigm of the “new man.” Although the ’50s meant the development of the technical-material modern background, the increase of film production and consumption of feature film, in Romanian cinema, the artistic references were few. The concern for film production of the prewar and interwar periods were drastically limited by the political class and the cultural ignorance of the politruks. The films Nufărul Roșu [The Red Water Lily] (1955), Mingea [The Ball] (1958), and A fost prietenul meu [He Was My Friend] (1963) followed the directions of the Stalinist ideology that lasted longer than in the USSR. Only Elisabeta Bostan overcame the limits imposed by the communist regime and the censorship of the era. Thus, her films still retain the unaltered charm of childhood.
Comportamentul asociativ – un indicator al calității vieții
Authors: Drăghici Elisaveta
Published: August 2023

Partnership to achieve common goals is an example of social action. When it is geared towards achieving a high level of quality of life, it is a complex dynamic and therefore of interest to researchers. This study explores the associative phenomenon from the perspective of two dimensions (which define the quality-of-life paradigm), namely quality of society and lifestyles (according to Mărginean and Precupețu’s vision, 2011), but also from the perspective of the community life and social participation dimension (as stated by Fahey et al., 2003). In addition to the theoretical approach on joining organizations for social involvement (in order to achieve a better life), the results of empirical research based on the administration of a questionnaire are presented. The empirical research highlights perceptions of action in society, the determinants of associational behavior oriented towards social involvement, the motivations behind the establishment of non-governmental organizations and their relation to the concern to improve the quality of life. The present study is one section of a larger ongoing research on motivations for setting up NGOs and the development of the non-profit sector. The topic is of interest in that, thirty years after freedom of association was achieved in Romania, the exploration of the motivations for setting up an NGO has been sporadic, the study showing current aspects of association for involvement in society.
Rescrieri feminine ale Odiseii (2): Madeline Miller, Circe
Authors: Ciocârlie Alexandra
Published: August 2023

In her novel, Madeline Miller proposes reconstructing Circe’s legends from classical sources by offering a feminine, even feminist, perspective on events. In the protagonist’s account, the witch’s history appears as a delineation from the despotic deities and a way of coming closer to the mortals which ultimately ammounts to abandoning her own condition. The central part of the novel starts from the story of Odissey and continues with events narrated in Telegony, poem which was dedicated to the son of Odysseus and Circe who unwillingly became the killer of his father. Although she follows the Homeric narrative in detail, the author sometimes relates critically to the literary model. The events told by Odysseus and Circe in a heroic or debunking form reveal their polivalence. In the extension of the Homeric narrative, the last part of the novel encompasses the events that occurred after the return to Itaca of Odysseus, unable to find fulfillment on his native lands because of his thirst for the unknown and adventures. The hero’s image gradually darkens, the author accentuating his violence or his generalized suspicion. Reconstructing the events from Circe’s perspective allows Madeline Miller to delineate from the Odyssey which she has followed scrupulously up to a certain point.
Poezia energiei scăzute. O lectură (peri)termodinamică a interpretării lui G. Bacovia via E. Lovinescu
Authors: Dumitru Teodora
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this essay is to map the energetic and (peri)thermodynamic background of theories about poetry from the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, also included in the horizon of interest of Romanian critics. In the present essay, I trace the route by which the literary critic E. Lovinescu arrives at his unique stylistic and conceptual approach to the poetry of G. Bacovia from the article he dedicates to him in 1922 and from the sequence reserved for the same poet in the study Poezia nouă (1923), both capitalized, further, in his literary histories. It is about the interpretation or even the definition of Bacovian poetry as an “expression” of “a neurosis,” as a “poetry” of “(deeply animalistic) kinesthesia,” as an “almost direct expression” of a “sick kinesthesia” or, even more abruptly, as “secretion of a sick organism, as moisture is the tear of damp walls.”
Troubling Circulation: Early Surrealism as a Case of Negative Transfer
Authors: Lazăr Adriana
Published: August 2023

The article explores a particular case of negative transfer of the Surrealist artistic project during the early phase of the French-centred movement within the Romanian avant-garde magazines network. Dismissed as “inauthentic” or mediated for its scandalous allure, Surrealism is unsuccessful at making inroads into the Romanian avant-garde press, closely connected to International Constructivism. This process triggers a delayed, albeit impressive, response to the Surrealist aesthetic and political thought, toward the end of the 1920s, and is, initially, largely regarded as a fraught association. Arguing that artistic circulation and transmission is not always a synchronous or symmetrical process in a centre-periphery direction, the article opens an inquiry into the motivations and implications of the Romanian negative response to early Surrealism. Additionally, the article provides insights into the complex interplay between Constructivism and Surrealism in the space of the Romanian avant-garde periodicals, essential for the understanding of Central and Eastern European avant-gardes, and a new perspective on how the periphery moderates the Surrealist label and its artistic project.
Metamodernismul în teorie și în practică: pentru o conceptualizare a modernității singulare în câmpul literar românesc
Authors: Lupașcu Emanuel
Published: August 2023

Metamodernism is a Eurocentric theoretical fiction, with no adherence to the social and cultural realities of post-communist Romania. This article provides a critique of the theory of metamodernism proposed by Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker and used by Alex Ciorogar to describe the post-2010 Romanian poetry system. Even if the concept is inoperative for Romanian literature, it is a symptom of the overcoming of the postmodernist framework, felt by writers as anti-essentialist, light-hearted, and unconcerned with the problems of today’s society (climate crisis, immigrants, marginalized communities, economic inequalities between classes, etc.). What I notice in the footsteps of Jeffrey Nealon & Galin Tihanov is that the focus shifts from an autonomist “regime of relevance” to one that is socially, politically, and identity-building oriented. My analysis will propose a number of criticisms of the internal contradictions generated by the two Dutchmen’s theory: firstly, that the “Yo-yo effect” of metamodernism – a metaphor I coined to better understand the basic concept – does not fully explain the cultural landscape of the Romanian literary system. In addition, it is built on a sum of generalizations of modernism and postmodernism, which have not been unanimously accepted by the theorists. A second criticism of Vermeulen and van den Akker’s study is its Western-centric stance, which ignores the (semi-)peripheral specificity of cultures. If we absurdly accept the existence of metamodernism, it is only a combination of ideologies and styles of historical currents subsumable to modernity. Therefore, I will propose, following in the footsteps of Fredric Jameson and the Warwick Research Collective, the concept of singular modernity, and I argue why there cannot yet be a postmodernity in Eastern Europe. Discussing post-communist Romanian literature in terms of unfinished, combined, and unevenly developed modernity is much more productive because it takes into account both the material-social conditions of Romania and the cultural-artistic acquisitions thanks to the transfer of symbolic capital between central and (semi)peripheral systems.
Romanul comunismului românesc înainte și după Istoria lui Mihai Iovănel
Authors: Contea Bogdan
Published: August 2023

This paper makes a case for analyzing the way in which the novel of Communism is approached by Mihai Iovănel in his History of Contemporary Romanian Literature: 1990-2020. This is a topic that was intensely discussed by Romanian literary criticism in Post-communism and represents the weakness of Romanian literature, either by it not being able to give a sufficiently convincing novel, or by not being able to agree upon how this novel should look. Accordingly, the critics had difficulties in labeling any novel that had been published after ‘89s as “the novel of communism.” The first part of the article is a panning of recent discussions about this term in relation to the analysis made by Iovănel in his History. The second part aims to trace out a network of this type of novel in the literatures of Central and Eastern Europe and to try to identify its particularities through a comparative analysis. The last part consists of a study case of the novels Acasă, pe câmpia Armaghedonului [At home, on the Field of Armageddon] by Marta Petreu and Bureți de Fag [Oyster Mushrooms] by Mihai Duțescu. The latter has been published after the History and both novels are analyzed from the perspective of the novel of communism.
De la marginal la central: cartografii ale exportului în proza Tatianei Țîbuleac
Authors: Vîrban Iulia-Maria
Published: August 2023

The intention of the present work is to demonstrate how an author can rescale himself in the local space thanks to literary agents (publishing houses, festivals, translations etc.), which have the role of emphasizing the value of his work that is willing to (re)win a literary bet precisely in the source culture, relying on a case study around the prose of Tatiana Țibuleac. The novelist gains symbolic capital abroad, on the one hand, because she gravitates between two peripheral spaces, Romania, respectively the Republic of Moldova, the second being subordinated to the first which has become a launching pad to the West, and, on the other hand, through the lens of its actual naturalization in France. What popularizes Tatiana Țîbuleac is not the reception of her novels in Romania, but the post-translation success justified by the attention later paid to the author by the Romanian press, considering the large volume of interviews mapped, most likely, in the wake of her journalistic career. The predilection for a writing of memory doubled by a hypersensitive dimension of an atrophied self or by the toxic frameworks of the relationship with a dysfunctional family – emergencies resolved only under the sign of the pathological, the case of the first novel. At the same time, the ideological panorama of a marginal culture, such as the Republic of Moldova, constrained between Soviet inflections, never completely purified, and the definition of an identity (not only national), as in the Glass Garden, but all of these are also possible causes of Tatiana Tîbuleac’s enrollment among international writers.
Mutații transmediale în producțiile artistice douămiiste
Authors: Chirteș Denisa Artemisa
Published: August 2023

This paper aims to investigate the ideological mutations that occur by turning the written text into an adaptation, using the protagonists that play the role of the marginal, both in the novel and in the movie, facilitating the breakthrough in the peripheral universe. Transmedia reveals the construction of the same fictional word, but the shift lies in the swinging between ideological isms: progressivism and conservatism, capitalism and anti-capitalism. This study is focused on recent literature and its adaptations. Characters have got the same name, they live in similar universes, but the main aim of this paper is to identify the shifts that result from turning the written message into a visual one. The same “story” can take a different ideological turn, therefore, both creations must be taken into consideration, in order to comprehend the global message. The ”double-creations” chosen to illustrate this point are: Love Sick by Cecilia Ștefănescu, motivating this choice by the progressivism of the adaptation in contrast to the conservatism of the novel, concentrating on the queer component; I am an old communist hag! by Dan Lungu where the focus falls on the anti-capitalist view, whereas the novel concentrates on an anti-communism ideology; Soldiers by Adrian Schiop, a case where the movie diminishes the focus on the progressivism, shifting the prespective on the universal love story between Adi and Alberto.

Published: August 2023

Nutrition Industry, does not have a stock prediction system. So far, PT Sanghiang has relied solely on the warehouse manager's estimates to make decisions about inventory for the next period. This is a problem because stockouts often occur, and sometimes there are insufficient supplies to fulfill orders. Therefore, to avoid such issues, there is a need for a system that can help predict stock levels and make informed decisions in planning future sales strategies. The objective of this research is to develop a web-based sales forecasting system for PT Sanghiang Perkasa and implement the Single Exponential Smoothing method in the forecasting system. The results of this research indicate that the Single Exponential Smoothing method achieves the best forecasting accuracy with an alpha value of 0.2 and a MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) of 4.01%. The sales forecast for Fitbar Choco Delight 22 G Multigrain in January 2023 is 121,741. Therefore, this method is considered highly accurate as it has the lowest MAPE value.
Study of the effectiveness of the use of organic fertilizers on forage crops
Authors:   Russian research and Design and technological Institute of sorghum and corn, Plaksina Vera , Astashov Alexander , Safronov Alexander , Rodina Tatiana
Published: August 2023

As a result of two-year studies, a significant effect of granulated organic fertilizer "Greenex" on morphometric indicators and productivity of biomass and seeds of the studied crops was found. The use of fertilizer at a dose of 200 kg / ha proved to be the most effective. So, the pre-sowing application of this dose of fertilizer provided a reliable excess of indicators relative to the control on all variants of the experiment. To improve growth processes, the maximum effect was found in soybeans and grain sorghum. It was revealed that the increase in yield when using fertilizer compared to the non-fertilized control was 12.99-29.33% for crops.

This paper examines the impact of childlessness on married couples in Ado Ekiti. Childlessness has been described as having the potential to have children but choosing not to, as well as having the desire to have children but they do not come. When a married couple is ready and willing to have children but is unable to do so, this is referred to as “involuntary childlessness” and is defined as not being able to have children. Couples have children for a variety of reasons, including religious, ideological, economic, and cultural expectations. According to the Bible, having children is a good event. This is evident to the fact that attempts to initiate a move which would have been directed towards adoption is taken with serious resistance in some places like Nigeria mostly by couples without even a child. This leads to addressing social-cultural and physiological problem married couples face and discrimination from the society because the married couples cannot procreate but in the same vein the society still views married couples as inferior with the objective to determine whether women’s infertility is the main reason that couples don’t have children, to determine how individuals in Ado Ekiti feel about childlessness and also to determine whether being childless is a benefit for childless married couples. Five hundred (500) questionnaire were administered to married couples. Chi-square, Multiple bar chart to determine major factor responsible for childlessness were used. Substantive issues were considered that include, social impact, cultural impact and psychological impact. The findings show that display of superiority by the couples with children against childless couples, childless woman is blamed for infertility, and depression are the most negative impact of social impact, cultural impact and psychological impact on childless couples. It is concluded that there is high negative impact of childlessness on married couples in Ado Ekiti

Authors: Tamanna Iffat , Haque Md Ahsanul
Published: August 2023

Emotions are dynamic biological states that are connected to all of the nerve systems. The problem of facial expression recognition has been thoroughly investigated, leading to the development of some robust and accurate face recognition algorithms. The effectiveness of three such algorithms (CNN, VGG16, and ResNet50) that have been widely studied and applied in the research community are investigated and compared in this paper. The aim is to use grayscale images to train these training models and compare their accuracy and data losses. The system will be able to detect the seven facial expressions Angry, Neutral, Contempt, Disgust, Fear, Happy, and Sad after training these models. To compare their precision, the same batch size and epoch were used. After reviewing all possible evaluations based on these output matrices, it is clear that all three networks produce reliable effect identification, with CNN being the most accurate.

Published: August 2023

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Sivas ve yöresinde açık olarak satışa sunulan sütlerde aflatoksin M1 (AFM1) varlığı ve kalıntı düzeyi araştırıldı.

Metod: Bu amaçla, 60 çiğ inek sütü örneği materyal olarak kullanıldı. Süt örnekleri, 2017 yılı Ocak ve Şubat aylarında Sivas ili’nde bulunan satış yerleri ve civar köylerden periyodik olarak toplandı. AFM1 analizlerinde ELISA tekniği uygulandı.

Sonuç: Analiz sonuçlarına göre, 55 çiğ süt örneğinde (%91,6) AFM1 tespit edildi. AFM1 değerleri en düşük 1,56, en yüksek 133,78 ve ortalama 36,59±3,98 ng/L olarak belirlendi. AFM1 düzeyi 43 örnekte (%78,2) Avrupa Birliği Komisyonu ve Türk Gıda Kodeksi tarafından bildirilen yasal limite (50 ng/L) uygun bulundu. AFM1 miktarı 12 örnekte (%21,8) 50 ng/L üzerinde belirlendi. Analizi yapılan 5 örnekte (%8,3) tespit edilebilir düzeyde AFM1 saptanmadı.

Tartışma: Araştırma sonuçları irdelendiğinde, Sivas ili ve yakın köylerden toplanan çiğ inek sütü örneklerinin önemli kısmının (%91,6) AFM1 ile kontamine olduğu saptanmıştır. Bu sonuç, tüketici açısından potansiyel risk oluşturmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, standart değerlere uygunluk gösteren örnek sayısı (43 örnek) ve oranının (%78,2) daha yüksek olması sevindirici bir bulgudur.

Bu çalışmada Antalya ilinde farklı ırk, yaş ve cinsiyette, sahipli veya sokakta yaşayan kedi ve köpeklerde coronavirüs prevalansını rapid test yöntemiyle belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla Antalya ilinin Muratpaşa ilçesinde bulunan kliniğimize getirilen farklı yaş, ırk ve cinsiyette, sahipli veya sokakta yaşayan 100 adet kediden alınan kan örnekleri EDTA lı tüplere alınarak, yine farklı ırk, yaş ve cinsiyette 100 adet köpekten alınan dışkı örneği ise antijen yönünden hızlı test kitleriyle (Kedilerde Asan Fcov (Asan Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd-Kore), Köpeklerde Asan CCV/CPV (Asan Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd-Kore), taranmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan 100 adet köpekten 2’si (%2) coronavirüs antijenleri yönünden pozitif olarak belirlenmiştir. Kedilerden alınan kan örneklerinde ise 54 kedide (%54) seropozitiflik tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada kullanılan 59 dişi kediden 30 tanesinde (%50,84), 41 erkek kedinin ise 24 tanesinde (%58,53), 0-2 yaş grubu kedilerin 29 tanesinde (%29), 3-4 yaş grubunda 15 (%15), 5-6 yaş grubunda 4 (%4), 7-8 yaş grubunda 3 (%33), 9-10 yaş grubunda 2 (%2) ve 11 yaş üzerinde 1 (%1) kedide seropozitiflik belirlenmiştir. Irk açısından değerlendirildiğinde en yüksek oranda Scottish fold (%20) British shorthair (%10) ve tekir kedilerde (%9) seropozitiflik tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; Antalya ilinde köpeklerde dışkıda coronavirüs antijenleri yönünden düşük, kedilerde ise kanda coronavirüs antikorları yönünden yüksek oranda seropozitifliğin belirlenmesi bu bölgede yetiştirilen kediler açısından coronavirüs hastalıkları bakımından risklerin oldukça yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir.
