Development of Polarization-Insensitive THz-to-IR Converters for Low-IR-Signature Target Detection and Imaging
Authors: Aytaç Berat , Şahin Asaf Behzat , Altan Hakan
Published: August 2024

A THz-to-IR converter can be an effective solution for the detection of low-IR-signature targets by combining the advantages of mature IR detection mechanisms with high atmospheric transmittance in the THz region. A metallic metasurface (MS)-based absorber with linear polarization dependence based on a split-ring resonator (SRR) unit cell has been previously studied as a preliminary example of a THz-to-IR converter structure in the literature. In this simulation-based study, a new cross-shaped unit cell-based metallic MS absorber structure sensitive to dual polarization is designed to eliminate linear polarization dependency, thereby allowing for incoherent detection of THz radiation. A model is developed to calculate the temperature difference and the response time for this new cross-shaped absorber structure, and its performance is compared to the SRR structure for both coherent and incoherent illumination. This model allows for understanding the efficiency of these structures by considering all loss mechanisms which previously had not been considered. It is found that both structures show similar performance under linearly polarized coherent illumination. However, under incoherent illumination, the IR emittance efficiency as gauged by the temperature difference for the cross-shaped structure is found to be twice as high as compared to the SRR structure. The results also imply that calculated temperature differences for both structures under coherent and incoherent illumination are well above the limit of the minimum resolvable temperature difference of the state-of-the-art IR cameras. Therefore, dual-polarized or multi-polarization-sensitive MS absorber structures can be crucial for developing cost-effective THz-to-IR converters and be implemented in THz imaging solutions.
Advances in Dendritic-Cell-Based Vaccines against Respiratory Fungal Infections
Authors: Kulkarni Nitish A. , Nanjappa Som G.
Published: August 2024

Ever since the discovery of dendritic cells by Ralph Steinman and Zanvil Cohn in 1973, it is increasingly evident that dendritic cells are integral for adaptive immune responses, and there is an undeniable focus on them for vaccines development. Fungal infections, often thought to be innocuous, are becoming significant threats due to an increased immunocompromised or immune-suppressed population and climate change. Further, the recent COVID-19 pandemic unraveled the wrath of fungal infections and devastating outcomes. Invasive fungal infections cause significant case fatality rates ranging from 20% to 90%. Regrettably, no licensed fungal vaccines exist, and there is an urgent need for preventive and therapeutic purposes. In this review, we discuss the ontogeny, subsets, tissue distribution, and functions of lung dendritic cells. In the latter part, we summarize and discuss the studies on the DC-based vaccines against pulmonary fungal infections. Finally, we highlight some emerging potential avenues that can be incorporated for DC-based vaccines against fungal infections.
The terms „fasole” ʻbeansʼ and „mazăre” ʻpeasʼ in the Romanian dialects from the Serbian Timoc region

Considerations regarding the evidentials in Romanian oral popular texts (aspects on the sources of knowledge and their linguistic features)
Authors:   Academia Română, Institutul de Lingvistică „I. Iordan – Al. Rosetti”, Manu Magda Margareta
Published: August 2024

Every language has a specific way of saying what it is talking about, how it knows and what it thinks about what it knows. In some languages, it is always necessary to specify the source of information on which the speaker is relying – whether he saw the event, or heard it, or inferred it from something seen or common sense, or was told about it by someone else. This is the essence of evidence or grammatical marking of the source of information – an interesting category appreciated by linguists. The present paper tries to offer a modern vision regarding the different forms of manifes­tation of evidence and their role in knowledge and discourse, illustrated by Romanian oral popular texts. The study is based on examples taken from fairy tales, species that use folk narrative as a type of stylistic narration. The work has three parts: in the first part, the general theoretical aspects regarding evidence are discussed; the second part refers to the specialized Romanian bibliography related to the phenomenon under dis­cussion; in the third part, the ways of expressing the evidentiality used in the selected texts are analysed; the last part presents the conclusions of our approach and some proposals for how to continue the analysis on other categories of texts than those addressed in the present study.
Existing Conditions of Tourism Destinations in Jembrana Regency, Bali
Authors: Murtono Putu Agus
Published: August 2024

Jembrana Regency, as one of the districts in Bali Province, has enormous tourism potential. However, most tourists' attention is still focused on areas such as Ubud, Kuta, Seminyak and Nusa Dua. Therefore, this research aims to identify tourism potential in Jembrana Regency, evaluate current conditions, and analyze the factors that influence tourism development in the Jembrana area, Bali. This research uses a qualitative methodology to identify tourism potential in Jembrana Regency, evaluate current conditions, and analyze the factors that influence tourism development in the Jembrana area, Bali with data collection techniques using structured interviews. Based on research conducted, Jembrana Regency has enormous tourism potential, both in terms of culture and natural beauty. Some of the main tourism destinations identified include Yeh Embang Village with Rambut Siwi Temple, Gilimanuk Early Human Museum, and West Bali National Park. Even though it has great potential, tourism development in Jembrana Regency is currently still not optimal. Factors that influence this include limited accessibility, inadequate infrastructure and supporting facilities, as well as a lack of effective promotion and marketing. Apart from that, the aspect of local community participation in the management and development of tourism in Jembrana also needs to be improved. Communities around tourist areas must be actively involved so they can participate in cultural and natural preservation efforts, as well as obtain economic benefits from tourism development
Isusov stil komunikacije u perspektivi prikaza identiteta vjeroučitelja kao komunikatora vjerskih istina
Authors: Benaković Ivan
Published: August 2024

U radu autor promišlja o stilu komunikacije Isusa Krista posvjedočenu u Evanđelju po Ivanu. Još konkretnije, koncentrirajući se na narativnu analizu biblijskog teksta o susretu Isusa i Samarijanke u Iv 4,1-19, autor nastoji detektirati pravilne načine ophođenja koji su vidljivi u Isusovu stilu komunikacije sa ženom iz Samarije. Ista analiza treba poslužiti i prikazu mogućeg modela rada vjeroučitelja u nastavi vjeronauka. Jer kako sam evanđeoski tekst pokazuje, na mnoge probleme nailazi navjestitelj Božjeg kraljevstva. No, oni bivaju nadvladani pravilnim stilom komunikacije poruke kraljevstva Božjega. To je stil koji polazi od konkretne povijesno-kulturne zadanosti pojedinca povezujući ju s novinom Božjeg dara. U društvu konflikta autor smatra kako je upravo Isusov stil komuniciranja moguće rješenje za nadvladavanje krize u koju može zapasti vjeroučitelj kao jedan od temeljnih protagonista navještaja novine kraljevstva Božjeg.
Intimni femicid u kontekstu obiteljskog nasilja
Authors: Aljinović Nevena
Published: August 2024

U kontekstu nasilja nad ženama rad se bavi problematikom intimnog femicida – tako snažnom riječju političke konotacije s prizvukom feminističkog stremljenja k prepoznavanju i definiranju rodno uvjetovanog ubojstva žena počinjenog od muškarca samo na temelju njihova rodnog statusa. U pokušaju obuhvaćanja različitih oblika ponašanja, femicid je nadmašio svoje inicijalno značenje i nadišao okvire jasne teorijske koncepcije, što je rezultirao kontraučinkom u vidu njegove nejasnoće i nepronalaženja unificirane, sveobuhvatne i općeprihvaćene definicije. Upravo je nepreciznost koncepcije femicida, ali i bojazan narušavanja neutralnosti zakonskih odredbi, za hrvatskog zakonodavca bila (snažna) prepreka njegovu inkorporiranju u kaznenopravni okvir. Također, javni diskurs o uvođenju femicida kao posebnog oblika rodno uvjetovanog ubojstava žena okupirale su antagonističke kontroverze. Unatoč navedenom, očita su bila stremljenja k izdvajanju femicida u posebnu kategoriju, različitu od ostalih oblika ubojstva upravo zbog rodne komponente, kao njegove bitne odrednice i prisutnosti nasilja nad ženama, kao njegove imanentne pertinencije. Rezultat navedenih tendencija recentne su izmjene Kaznenog zakona, unutar kojeg je femicid našao svoje mjesto kao posebno kazneno djelo ‘teško ubojstvo ženske osobe’. No, hrvatski je zakonodavac još 2011. pod utjecajem Istanbulske konvencije inkorporirao (novi) kvalificirani oblik ubojstva ‘bliske osobe koju je počinitelj prije zlostavljao’ koje se zbog konotacije prethodnoga nasilničkog ponašanja, može podvesti pod zajednički nazivnik s femicidom, ali samo u pogledu uskog poimanja potonjeg, kao intimnog femicida. U kontekstu navedenog u radu se analizira praksa VSRH te Visokoga kaznenog suda RH u vremenu od 1. siječnja 2013., odnosno 1. siječnja 2021. do 1. siječnja 2024. u predmetima počinjenja kaznenog djela teškog ubojstva iz čl. 111. st. 3. KZ/11 u kojem su žrtve žene, a počinitelji muškarci koji su prethodno zlostavljali žrtvu i s kojom su bili u intimnoj vezi. Nadalje, kako je ‘mržnja prema ženi’ bitna odrednica femicida općenito, analizirane su i presude VSRH i Visokoga kaznenog suda RH u pogledu kaznenog djela teškog ubojstva iz toč. 4. čl. 111. KZ/11 počinjenog prema ženama. Konačno, analizirani su podatci DZS-a te MUP-a o trendu kretanja nasilja i ubojstava žena, napose počinjenih od intimnog partnera. Cilj je provedenog istraživanje odgovoriti na pitanje je li, unatoč izostavljanju termina femicida iz kaznenopravnog okvira, na normativnoj razini i u sudskoj praksi, bila osigurana adekvatna zaštita najekstremnijeg oblika rodno uvjetovanog nasilja nad ženama?

Authors: Силин А.Н.
Published: August 2024

Предметом авторского исследования стало состояние и возможности сбережения здоровья участников неоиндустриального освоения арктических регионов России. С целью изучения реальной ситуации в этой сфере и подготовки возможных рекомендаций для властных структур был разработан инструментарий и проведены опросы северян, позволившие проверить гипотезы о значимости факторов, определяющих пути здоровьесбережения людей, населяющих Российскую Арктику. Большая часть социологических исследований (массовые и экспертные опросы, фокус-группы) была проведена автором на территории Ямало-Ненецкого автономного округа (ЯНАО), однако в 2020-2022 гг. к ним добавились результаты экспедиций, проведенных в европейском секторе Российской Арктики (часть Архангельской области, отнесенная указом президента к Арктической зоне) и Восточно-Сибирском секторе (Чукотский автономный округ – ЧАО). Методология работы, основанная на социологической диагностике заявленной проблемы, потребовала изучения совокупности факторов, определяющих здоровье северян (природно-климатические и социально-экономические, структура и качество питания и досуга, состояние местного здравоохранения и экологии и др.). Методология и результаты исследований, проведенных на территории трех арктических регионов, могут быть использованы и в других арктических субъектах Российской Федерации.

The author's research subject was the health-saving state and possibilities for participants in the neo-industrial development of the Russian Arctic regions. In order to study the real situation in this area and prepare possible recommendations for government agencies, tools were developed and surveys of Northerners were conducted, which made it possible to test hypotheses about the factors’ importance determining the health saving ways for people inhabiting the Russian Arctic. Most of the sociological research (mass and expert surveys, focus groups) was conducted by the author on the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug territory, however, in 2020-2022, the results of expeditions conducted in the European sector of the Russian Arctic (part of the Arkhangelsk Region assigned to the Arctic zone by presidential decree) and the East Siberian Region were added to them sector (Chukotka Autonomous Okrug). The methodology of the work, based on the sociological diagnosis of the stated problem, required the study of a set of factors determining the Northerners’ health (climatic and socio-economic, structure and quality of nutrition and leisure, the state of local health and ecology, etc.). The methodology and results of research conducted in the three Arctic regions can be used in other Arctic regions of the Russian Federation.

Valea Trotuşului şi Pasul Oituz - frontiere medievale ale Moldovei în secolele XIV-XV
Authors: Florin Dascălu
Published: August 2024

This paper takes up an old and complex matter: the economic and strategic role played by the Valley of Trotus River and by Oituz Pass in the history of the area eastwards of the Carpathian Mountains in the 14th and 15th centuries. Until the integration of the area in the new state of Moldavia, Trotus Valley and Oituz Pass represented the border between the Hungarian Kingdom and various migrant populations eastwards of the Carpathians. The author uses the available documents, analyses the local toponyms and exploits archaeological data in order to prove the presence in the area of numerous political forces fighting for supremacy in this strategic region. The Moldavian rulers were forced by geopolitical realities to fight both the Hungarian Kingdom (for the control of the Oituz Pass) and Wallachia (to be able to occupy the area south of the Trotus River).

In this paper, the author analyses the impact of the 1946-1947 famine on the population in the Moldavian region, and especially in the County of Vaslui. The paper highlights the solutions identified to this problem, and also the way in which the Communist Party attempted to use this situation for electoral purposes. The absence of food, combined with communist propaganda, stirred an unfavorable state of mind in the population, which is apparent from the documents of the time.
Teologul Ioan Gh. Savin și preotul Petru Gh. Savin în închisorile comuniste
Authors: George Enache
Published: August 2024

The paper relies on archival documents with a view to outline the way in which brothers Ioan and Petru Savin were arrested and sentenced by the communist regime. Ioan and Petru Savin were significant figures of the Romanian Orthodox Church in the former half of the 20th century. Their activity has been covered in various research studies, but the episode of their being arrested has not been clearly documented yet. The analysis of the way in which the two brothers were arrested and sentenced provides a clearer understanding of the mechanisms of repression in communist Romania, and also of the relation between the Communist Party and the Securitate.

Nicolae Ceauşescu. The personality cult in Galatz County's Party Press
Authors: Dojan Daniel
Published: August 2024

The aim of the article is to discover the specificalities of the local journalistic discourse through the view of Nicolae Ceauşescu's personality cult. We aimed at determining the level of journalistic autonomy in the process of editorial decision making. If at a national level some conclusions have been drawn over Nicolae Ceauşescu's personality cult, at the level of the local press in Galatzi everything is yet to be discovered and analysed. A pertinent and historical analysis cannot develop without a look at the context in which the Communist regime settled in Galatzi. In order to understand the mass mentality (not only inside the city, but in the county and the region as well) we need to give a proper look to archive documents. Through the records of the General-Administrative Inspectorate of the IV District, Galatzi, we discovered a state of rebellion amongst the local rural population. This in the context in which the methods of installing and consolidating the Communist regime were applied. Political and ideological propaganda needed to convince the classes to accept unconditional submission. In the first stages of collectivisation, incidents were visible in Galatzi. As a record states: “people applauded without heart”. The press in Galatzi made use of the city's and the region's ideological characteristics, on the fact that it was a siderurgical city and am agricultural region. Taking advantage of this, the articles and the reportages of the Viața Nouă Daily always underlined the servilism and the ideological submission of the Galatzi working class. Another aspect to take into view in the articles was the nautical nature of the portuary city, a pawn in the Socialist economy.
Language as a sign of national identity. Romanian interwar perspectives and applications
Authors: Mitu Oana Maria
Published: August 2024

Language is an inherent component of identity, be it individual or collective. For peoples, it is the first element by which they separate each other as belonging to one nation or another. For states, it is a powerful tool for socio-political determining. In the case of interwar Romania, language was used for the double-sided objective of nation-building, in the sense of standardising both the ethnic and the civic nation. For Romanians „by blood” linguistic policies were meant to eliminate various regional cultural contaminations; language was advocated as an organic link meant to strenghten the unity of the people. For Romanians „by political right”, language was used for social levelling and integration. The article will discuss various legislative and cultural practices that were used for building the Romanian nation-state, keeping in mind the complicated circumstances of finding balance between the strong desire for ethnic centifugation and the need for civic equality and peace.

The Soviet Places of Memory of the Postwar Period in the Symbolic Space of the Southern Bessarabian Cities
Authors: DROZDOV Viktor
Published: August 2024

This paper focuses on creating places of memory in the cities of the Izmail district in the post-war period as a component of the Soviet politics of memory in the region. The author identifies the importance of the ideological factor in the construction of places of memory in the “late Stalinist” period, such as the monument of Alexander Suvorov and the Historical Museum in Izmail, the memorial to the Tatarbunary Rebellion, and others. Particular attention is paid to the memorialization of World War II heroes and victims in the first postwar decade. Based on the analysis of materials of modern mass media, the role of these Soviet places of memory in commemorative practices of independent Ukraine and their position in the symbolic space are considered. It is emphasized that despite decommunization in the country, the places of memory, which were a component of the Soviet ideological discourse, have been preserved in the south of the Odesa region.
Vectori ai intereselor austriece în navigaţia pe Dunărea românească 1830 – 1878
Authors: Mitea Ionel Constantin
Published: August 2024

In our communication, we propose to reflect a less researched aspect - the one with reference to the involvement of the Orthodox Church in Bessarabia in that trend that engulfed the Russian Empire, that of jubilee mania, triggered at the beginning of the 20th century. Our attention was also drawn to the fact that the Church Institution, in fact, is involved in the organization of jubilees, which have a secular character, on the one hand, and on the other, the attempts of this institution to become, in fact, the main organizer of the events , even if these did not have a religious tone, obviously taking into account the fact that the Orthodox Church still represented the dominant religion and a first pillar in the triad of Orthodoxy, Autocracy, People through which the Russian Empire tried to represent itself. We will try to analyse a series of jubilees, on the indicated segment, and the role played by the Church, such as those related to 50 years since the abolition of Serbia, 100 years since the incorporation of Bessarabia into the Russian Empire, 100 years since the victory of the Russian armies over Napoleon's armies or the inauguration of the monument to Alexander I, shortly before the start of the First World War, obviously highlighting the 100-year anniversary of the incorporation of Bessarabia into the Russian Empire.

Prior researches regarding metacognitive awareness had been conducted but none of them analyzed particularly only to the metacognitive awareness and the senior year of university students. Thus, the aim of this study is to map metacognitive awareness skills of senior year college students at the English Language Education Department. There were 90 students who participated in this survey study. In order to assess their metacognitive awareness skills, this study employed Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) from Schraw & Dennison (1994), consisted of 52 items, divided into 8 domains: declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge, conditional knowledge, planning, information management strategies, monitoring, debugging strategies, evaluation. The data were analyzed by using a descriptive quantitative method to determine the highest and the lowest domain that represented respondents’ metacognitive awareness. The results showed that the highest metacognitive awareness skill of senior year students was planning ( = 4.02), followed by procedural knowledge (= 3.99), monitoring (= 3.91), information management strategies (= 3.88), declarative knowledge (= 3.87), evaluation ( = 3.85), debugging strategies ( = 3.83), and the lowest domain was conditional knowledge (= 3.81). The findings implied that senior year students could determine goals before starting their learning process. They knew how to achieve their goals, monitored their process, managed information, obtained knowledge, analyzed their performance, and revised their process based on analysis. However, they needed to improve their skill in selecting effective strategies based on specific circumstances.
