Noi cercetări arheologice la cetatea Saschiz I. Incinta exterioară / New Archaeological Research at Saschiz Fortress I. The Outer Ward
Authors: Marcu Istrate Daniela , Dobrotă Sebastian Ovidiu , Rezi Botond , Gál Szilárd Sándor
Published: January 2025

Saschiz, once one of the most important Saxon settlements of eastern Transylvania, located 23 km away from Sighisoara, was included decades ago in the UNESCO world heritage list. On a rocky hill north‑west of the village rises its refuge fortress, whose beginnings have been archaeologically ascribed to the early 15 th century based on the research undertaken in 1999–2000, the first investigation of this kind undertaken on site. In 2018, the fortress entered restoration, and in 2023 a large‑scale archaeology research project was initiated, involving excavations both inside the area of the preserved fortified structure – formerly the main ward of the fortress – and beyond it, in the area where the outer ward once stood. Due to the amount of data and materials collected during the 2023 investigation, the research results will be published gradually, as they are being processed. This paper, the first one in the series, concerns the findings from the area of the outer ward, of which at the start of the research only the ruins of the two towers that were flanking the southern entrance could still be clearly discerned. The investigation established the planimetry of the southern and eastern defensive walls of the outer ward, identified the ruins of a smaller eastern tower midway on the eastern rampart and discovered that the course of the fortifications extended much in the north‑east, to encompass a small terrace. All newly identified wall structures were in poor condition, a situation that may be partially explained through the miserly use of mortar and the common employment of dry foundations. The material finds were scarce, and most of them seemed to be castoffs from the main ward rather than actual signs of activity in the outer ward. The discovery of a grave, likely medieval or post‑medieval, overlapped by the foundations of the southern gate tower, contributed little to dating the construction of this outer fortification. While it has been long established that the rampart of the outer ward was attached to the School Tower of the main ward, the time of its construction remains doubtful, although the uneven and meagre construction techniques employed may plead for a late period, when the community of Saschiz had already went into decline.
La mobilité de la main-d’oeuvre sous l’Ancien Régime. Le cas du comté de Namur
Authors: Ronvaux Marc
Published: January 2025

Het verkeer van personen, en in het bijzonder van industriële arbeidskrachten, is een trendy onderzoeksthema. Voor wat betreft de voormalige Zuidelijke Nederlanden heeft dit onderzoek zich voornamelijk toegespitst op de Vlaamse textielindustrie, aangezien er geen duidelijk beeld bestaat van de situatie in andere provincies. Gezien de grote verscheidenheid aan toestanden en het feit dat de sociale geschiedenis wordt opgebouwd door de confrontatie van bijzondere ervaringen, is het belang van het kleine graafschap Namen niet te verwaarlozen. Meestal gemotiveerd door de individuele keuze om een talent optimaal te benutten, is de migratie van arbeidskrachten veelvormig, dichtbij of veraf, tijdelijk of permanent, individueel of collectief, en heeft zij vaak een stichtende rol voor de lokale economie. De aantrekkingskracht van de Verenigde Provinciën, de religieuze factor, de impact van oorlogen of de verleiding van een prestigieuze hoofdstad, allemaal factoren die klassiek worden omschreven als de drijvende krachten achter de grensoverschrijdende migratie in Noordwest-Europa in de moderne tijd, zijn hier niet waarneembaar. De provincie is niet erg open voor buitenlanders, zelfs xenofoob. De immigratie is gering, vooral op het platteland ; zij is jong en mannelijk, geïntegreerd door het huwelijk, en de streek van Charleroi, een nieuwe stad met een snelle bevolkingsgroei, bevorderd door de mijnbouw, is een bijzonder geval. Emigratie wordt geleid door actieve personen, aangezien een chronisch gebrek aan werkgelegenheid niet bepaald aanzet tot een groot vertrek. De verschillende industrietakken leveren interessante specifieke situaties op. Na de oorlogen van de vijftiende en zestiende eeuw werden actieve strategieën gevoerd om de koperindustrie aan te trekken en te behouden. De belangrijke ijzerindustrie, die door de inzet van Duitse metaalbewerkers werd bevorderd, kwam in de jaren 1620-1640 in gevaar door de georganiseerde uittocht van haar arbeiders naar Zweden. De glasindustrie, die sterk zou groeien, dankte haar ontwikkeling aan buitenlandse specialisten, eerst uit Italië en vervolgens uit Lotharingen. Er zijn veel andere specifieke gevallen, zoals militairen, ingenieurs en artiesten.
Un document comptable sur lamelle de plomb et autres objets métalliques inscrits du site de Mandeure, cité des Séquanes (avec un appendice sur la méthode de déchiffrement)
Authors: Brélaz Cédric , Blin Séverine , Milliet Quentin , Sapin Éric
Published: January 2025

Le site de Mandeure (Epomanduodurum), s’étant développé autour d’un sanctuaire d’origine gauloise consacré au dieu Mars et faisant partie de la cité des Séquanes, a livré, outre une dizaine d’inscriptions lapidaires, une quantité importante d’objets inscrits faits de matériaux divers. On trouvera dans le présent article la publication de cinq objets métalliques inédits portant des inscriptions : une patère en bronze et une étiquette en plomb qui témoignent d’activités rituelles et commerciales ; un fragment de plaque en bronze qui portait la copie d’un document émanant des autorités centrales de l’État romain ; deux lamelles en plomb utilisées comme documents comptables. Ce dossier vient illustrer la diffusion de l’écriture dans les sociétés provinciales des Gaules et des Germanies, y compris dans les agglomérations situées en milieu rural.
Senatus milesque et populus: il Senato, le legioni, l’impero secondo il senatore Tacito
Authors: Cafaro Alberto
Published: January 2025

Reconnaissant le rôle joué par les légions dans la préservation du régime augustéen, Tacite a redéfini l’État romain en tant que Senatus milesque et populus . Les historiens modernes ont depuis longtemps reconnu l’importance politique des légions romaines à l’époque impériale, bien que l’attention des érudits se soit principalement concentrée sur le lien entre les empereurs et les soldats. L’existence de relations entre le Sénat et les légions a généralement été sous-estimée, voire niée. Les travaux de Tacite suggèrent une approche plus complexe, en particulier dans les Historiae . «The senator as historian» (Syme) a décrit le Sénat et les légions comme de véritables centres de pouvoir. Le premier était les élites foncières, tandis que les secondes jouissaient du monopole total de la violence : la stabilité de l’empire dépendait de l’équilibre des pouvoirs entre ces acteurs et les empereurs. À travers l’analyse des œuvres de Tacite, ce travail vise à redéfinir le rôle joué par le conseil des patres et des citoyens en armes dans le contexte politique de l’État impérial – une relation nécessaire au-delà des empereurs mêmes (et même malgré eux).
A corpus analysis of negative emotive words in Hungarian (with special focus on their discursive functions)
Authors: Bibok Károly , Szabó Martina Katalin
Published: January 2025

The present paper proposes a detailed scheme of the meaning structure of the semantic and pragmatic functions of two Hungarian negative emotive words: durva ‘rough’ and its adverbial derivative durván ‘roughly’ occurring within the three corpora which represent three different text domains. Then it presents the results of testing this scheme by annotating those corpora. Besides unproblematic cases, the paper also highlights ambiguous occurrences concerning the possible semantic and pragmatic values of durva ‘rough’ and durván ‘roughly’ as sentiment words and the differentiation between the discourse marker function and the sentiment one.
Cross-cultural universals and differences in American and Russian nicknaming patterns
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Russia, Tsepkova Anna
Published: January 2025

This paper analyses similarities and differences in American and Russian nicknaming practices as reflected in given-name-based nicknames of persons. A cross-cultural comparison of the collected data shows three types of results: 1) An inverse proportion in the quantity of given-name-based nicknames to last-name-based nominations across the two language samples, with the former predominant in the American sample and the latter in the Russian sample. The reasons stem from the status of hypocoristic forms in the American culture, conventionality, and low variability of the Russian given-name stock, as well as issues of privacy, confidentiality, and political correctness; 2) Universal coinage patterns of given-name-based nicknames, which reflect the desire of name-givers to reframe the official name by means of reduction, extension, corruption (meaningless nominations), reviving true etymology or reinventing it by means of language play (meaningful non-characteristic nomination); 3) Common tendencies in favour of meaningless nominations (58% in the American sample; 62% in the Russian sample).
The process of naming hearing individuals within deaf communities using Brazilian Sign Language (Libras)
Authors:   State University of Mato Grosso do Sul – UEMS, Brazil, Rech Gabriele Cristine , Sell Fabíola Sucupira Ferreira ,   Santa Catarina State University – UDESC, Brazil
Published: January 2025

This article describes the process of naming hearing people in different Brazilian deaf communities. Considering that several deaf communities around the world name people by means of a linguistic sign (Börstell 2017), we started with the hypothesis of the existence of a historical and sociocultural system of naming people in Brazilian deaf communities. Thus, this article seeks to identify socio-anthroponomastic features, such as: the naming context – who nominates, where one nominates, and when one nominates – and the possibility of changing a name sign. Regarding the methodology, this article is descriptive research coupled with qualitative analysis. Data collection began in 2018 with a research project called Onomastic Studies in Brazilian Sign Language – i.e., in Libras. The collection instrument was an online questionnaire. The analyzed sample is composed of 393 responses from hearing people. As a result, we conclude that: i) deaf people are primarily responsible for naming in Libras; ii) the responders were nominated in spaces dedicated to the teaching of Libras; iii) there is no specific moment for assigning a name sign; and iv) it is possible for a name sign to be changed. Furthermore, we hope that this article contributes substantively to understanding the general process of naming people in Brazilian deaf communities.

'Auszeiten' im Lehrer:innenberuf als Bearbeitung berufsbezogener (Entwicklungs-)Aufgaben? Zur professionstheoretischen Bedeutung (berufs-)biografischer und lebensweltlicher Erfahrungen im Kontext des 'Lehrer:innen-Sabbaticals'
Authors: Matthes Dominique , Fuhrmann Laura
Published: January 2025

In diesem Beitrag wird der Ausgestaltung sog. ‚Auszeiten‘ vom Lehrberuf nachgespürt und deren professionstheoretische Bedeutung diskutiert. Im Rahmen eines (berufs-)biografischen und praxeologisch-wissenssoziologischen Professionsansatzes rückt anhand von empirischem Interviewmaterial aus zwei qualitativen Studien das ‚Lehrer:innen-Sabbatical‘ als Möglichkeit der (Berufs-)Biografiegestaltung in den Blick. So zeigt sich in den Auseinandersetzungen der Lehrpersonen mit dem Sabbatical eine Bearbeitung von berufsbezogenen (Entwicklungs-)Aufgaben. Zentrieren lassen sich diese um spannungsreiche Anforderungen, bei denen im Medium des Habitus ein Austarieren der Relationierung von Arbeits- und Lebenswelt bzw. von Berufsrolle und Person erfolgt, deren (Nicht-)Vereinbarkeit sich mitunter bestimmend für die Fortführung der Berufstätigkeit erweist. Angesichts der zentralen Bedeutung dieser (Entwicklungs-)Aufgabe der Bewältigung von Verbleib und Mobilität schlagen wir eine Erweiterung im praxeologischen Ansatz von Professionalität im Lehrer:innenberuf vor, der im Kern die Relationen zur individuell-biografischen und lebensweltlichen Ebene stärker berücksichtigt und zugleich Unterstützungsangebote in solchen Professionalisierungsprozessen betont.

La jeunesse dans l’espace urbain du Saint-Empire romain germanique XVIe et XVIIe siècles : circulation et enfermement
Authors: Chapuis-Després Stéphanie
Published: January 2025

Cet article, qui se situe théoriquement dans le cadre de l’histoire urbaine et culturelle, étudie la manière dont les discours normatifs décrivent la présence des jeunes gens et des jeunes filles dans l’espace urbain du Saint-Empire romain germanique pendant la première modernité. Il s’agit d’analyser les normes liées à la circulation des jeunes dans l’espace urbain en fonction du genre et de la catégorie sociale. Cette étude qui se déroule sur une période longue prend en compte des sources normatives catholiques et luthériennes et propose d’en établir une comparaison. Tandis que les sorties des filles sont le plus possible limitées, l’occupation bruyante de l’espace public par les jeunes garçons est non seulement tolérée mais aussi encouragée. L’enfermement, ou du moins la limitation de la circulation, a donc bien un genre au début de l’époque moderne.
Hiérarchies et discriminations de genre en RDA : inconnue, impensé ou aporie d’une « société fermée » ?
Authors: Goepper Sibylle
Published: January 2025

Le présent article aborde la question des rapports de genre dans le contexte de la société fermée (geschlossene Gesellschaft) que constitua la RDA de 1949 à 1990. Prenant pour point de départ une série d’interviews d’artistes plasticien.ne.s portant sur les discriminations et les hiérarchies de genre dans les milieux artistiques officiels et non officiels d’Allemagne de l’Est, il entreprend dans un premier temps de réexaminer à la lumière de travaux récents la réalité de l’égalité femmes-hommes dans l’État socialiste qui se vanta dès les années 1960 d’avoir « réglé » la question de la condition féminine. Il se penche ensuite sur les rares discours adoptant cette perspective à l’époque de la RDA et par la suite, tant du côté des artistes que des critiques et des commentateur.trice.s. Force est alors de constater que cette approche est encore à l’heure actuelle majoritairement rejetée par les acteur.trice.s, d’une part parce qu’elle est ressentie comme un outil analytique « occidental », impropre à saisir la réalité à l’Est, d’autre part parce que les processus de différenciation entre femmes et hommes semblent à leurs yeux moins pertinents que le clivage Est-Ouest.
Femmes prisonnières politiques : du témoignage à la fiction
Authors: Semilla Duran María A.
Published: January 2025

Alicia Kozameh, argentine, écrivaine, militante révolutionnaire dans les années 70 en Argentine, a été pendant quatre ans une prisonnière politique sous la dictature des années 70. Elle a pris cette expérience comme point de départ pour nombre de ses fictions, mais elle a été également compilatrice et éditrice, avec d’autres camarades ayant connu le même sort, d’un livre qui réunit les lettres envoyées par les femmes qui ont partagé le même pavillon à la prison de Devoto, à Buenos Aires (Nosotras, presas politicas). Ce qui nous intéresse est, d’un côté, explorer les procédés utilisés pour que le passage de l’expérience à la littérature s’opère ; d’autre, la configuration de sa subjectivité face à l’enfermement et les réponses qu’elle a été capable d’articuler pour résister. Parallèlement, nous voudrions analyser les témoignages non fictionnalisés, où les voix qui s’expriment sont nombreuses, pour explorer la gamme des constructions subjectives qui permettent de conserver le statut de l’humanité dans un contexte de négation de la personne, et les façons de donner sens aux “nous” par-dessus le “je”, au collectif par-dessus l’individuel.
Enfermement et violence de genre : Le viste la cara a Dios/Beya de Gabriela Cabezón Cámara
Authors: Rosier Marie
Published: January 2025

Gabriela Cabezón Cámara publie entre 2012 et 2013 la nouvelle Le viste la cara a Dios dans une version e-book puis dans une version graphique sous le titre de Beya (Le viste la cara a Dios). Ces deux ouvrages se focalisent sur la traite des femmes dans une province de Buenos Aires. Dans cet article, nous analyserons les dispositifs narratifs et graphiques de la représentation de l’enfermement et de la violence extrême exercée contre ce corps féminin réifié, chose biopolitique. Nous montrerons également que dans la nouvelle et le roman graphique, Gabriela Cabezón Cámara met en scène des modalités de résistances, de dépassements face à cette violence sexiste qui font de Beya une anti-Belle au bois dormant (Bella durmiente qui devient Beya). En effet, l’écrivaine, à travers divers procédés littéraires, intertextes et références culturelles subvertit, contourne, les normes qui font du corps de la femme enfermée un objet de consommation sexuelle et un espace de violence sans fin.
L’œuvre romanesque de Wendy Delorme : perpétuation et (ré)élaboration du genre ou la (ré)assignation comme dépassement et résistance queer
Authors: Alonso Béatrice
Published: January 2025

L’article se propose d’observer comment la production romanesque de Wendy Delorme (ré)organise et (ré)assigne son genre, par une grammaire du corps d’abord performé comme ultraféminin (remise en question par réappropriation, resignification du stigmate), pour résister à l’enfermement hétéronormatif puis dans la revendication queer d’une réassignation transgressive. Il s’agit de présenter et d’analyser les deux premiers opus de sa production littéraire : Quatrième génération (2007) et Insurrections ! En territoire sexuel (2009), où l’autrice réinvestit l’espace marginal de la pornographie pour défendre la performativité du genre élaborant pour ce faire des stratégies narratives et esthétiques, afin de résister au carcan héténormatif. Son écriture est une résistance esthétique à l’enfermement politique d’un genre dans un sexe et une sexualité.
Topical studies on subgrid-scale dynamic processes in stably stratified geophysical flows in polar regions
Authors:   , Urbancic Gabin
Published: January 2025

The most significant changes in climate are observed in the Arctic, which is estimated to be warming at rates two to four times faster than the global average. In Antarctica, sea ice extent is experiencing a rapid decline, even faster than the decline observed in the Arctic. Therefore, the polar regions are highly vulnerable to the warming climate. To improve the ability of climate models to represent polar regions, a better understanding of critical physical processes is needed. This thesis focuses on the study of two subgrid-scale dynamic processes important to polar climate: submeso-scale motions in the atmospheric surface layer and internal waves in the Arctic ocean.

Submeso-scale motions are important in the atmospheric surface layer during stable conditions, a common situation in polar regions due to the often negative radiative energy balance at the surface. The stable stratification creates a wave-guide for various modes of motion, each with different forcing mechanisms and properties, and each interacting uniquely with turbulence and mixing. The complexity of these motions makes the problem intractable to classical theoretical approaches. In this thesis, a novel method using autocorrelation functions is developed to characterize the occurrence and timescales of submeso-scale motions. Additionally, case study work is performed to improve the understanding of how observed submesoscale motions interact with turbulence.

Internal waves in the Arctic Ocean provide the energy needed to mix the warm Atlantic water below up to the surface, influencing the growth and melt of sea ice. This thesis addresses the dynamics and behavior of internal waves generated by tides in the region near the Yermak Plateau, a critical area as it is the last barrier before warm Atlantic water enters the Arctic Ocean. Mechanisms for internal wave propagation are demonstrated for both diurnal and semi-diurnal tides, and the conditions for the generation of internal solitary waves, which induce strong local mixing events, are established.
On the construction of new stochastic fractional analysis
Authors: Said EL-Nadi Khairia EL- , EL-Shindidy Mohamed , Ahmed And BH.
Published: January 2025

Stochastic processes governed by a new fractional Brownian motion are thoroughly examined in this paper. Building on the foundational work of El-Borai and El-Nadi, we offer advanced analytical techniques to study these processes, which are distinguished by their memory effects and long-range interdependence. Our approach uses fractional stochastic calculus, fractional stochastic analysis, and fixed-point theorems to provide a solid mathematical basis to deal with these complicated systems.
The study makes a substantial contribution to the subject by explicitly solving fractional stochastic differential equations, analyzing their statistical properties with characteristic and moment-generating functions, and proving the existence and uniqueness of solutions within this new framework.

Ultrasonic dispersion mechanism of liquid Ga/In
Authors: Hijiri Kijima , Sugino Fumiya , YAMAMOTO ken
Published: January 2025

Ga/In alloy, known for its low melting point and liquid state at room temperature, is a promising material for producing fine metal particles. Conventional methods often face challenges in efficiency or particle uniformity, particularly for particle sizes below 10 μm. Ultrasonic processing offers a potential solution, enabling efficient production of microscale and sub-microscale particles. This study examined the effects of ultrasonic frequency and power on the particle size distribution of Ga/In alloy. The effect on particle refinement of adding a second ultrasonic irradiation step was also evaluated. High-speed video imaging was used to capture the dispersion process in real time. The results indicate that particle size depended strongly on ultrasonic frequency and power, with higher frequencies yielding finer particles. The secondary irradiation effectively improved size distribution and dispersion. These findings provide insights into the controlled formation of metal microparticles using ultrasonic techniques.

in skin layers.
Libertà e risonanza
Authors: Costa Paolo
Published: January 2025

Viviamo – noi e la stragrande maggioranza delle persone che frequentiamo quotidianamente – in società che si definiscono e si autorappresentano come “liberali”. Il fenomeno della libertà è al centro delle nostre esistenze e della nostra stessa identità personale. Non c’è unanimità, tuttavia, riguardo alla matrice di questa condizione di libertà. Il saggio, anche se sposa una visione polisemica della libertà, non rinuncia al tentativo di identificare forme migliori di libertà all’interno di tale costellazione. Libertà “risonante” è il nome con cui viene indicata una possibile variante architettonica di autorealizzazione. Si tratta di una varietà non meramente “sottrattiva” di libertà che consiste nella capacità di rispondere a un appello dotato di valore intrinseco che proviene da un luogo esterno alla giurisdizione e alle aspettative dell’io. L’atto responsivo è, da un lato, ricettivo, ma, per altro verso, contribuisce a dischiudere e articolare il contenuto di verità personalmente rilevante di cui esso è la risposta. Questo elemento di esplorazione, di affidamento all’alterità e di incertezza è cruciale anche nelle genuine esperienze di risonanza innescate dal “canto” del mondo (Rilke) in cui è racchiuso un elemento trasformativo che eccede la nostra capacità di autonomia.
“Engaging with provocations”. An Interview with Wendy Brown
Authors: Rudan Paola
Published: January 2025

Wendy Brown is recognized internationally as one of the most important contemporary critics of neoliberalism and for her crucial contribution to feminist political theory. In this dialogue, Brown traces her intellectual itinerary, from her provocative and polemical relationship with the classic authors of political theory, to her confrontation with Marx and Foucault as both indispensable sources for the critique of neoliberalism; from the problem of political subjectivation in the age of identity politics, to the new reactionary politics which challenge feminism as a political discourse and practice. The text is a transcript, elaborated and revised by Brown, of the dialogue she had with her interviewer and the audience at the masterclass held on 13 March 2024 at the University of Trento, as part of the second series of lectures “Voices from Contemporary Philosophy”, coordinated by Tiziana Faitini, Alessandro Palazzo and Michele Nicoletti
Secondo Tucidide. La paura non è emozione di donne
Authors: Beltrametti Anna
Published: January 2025

The study runs along two parallel lines, following the theme of fear and the theme of women in Thucydides’ Histories. Thucydides identifies fear as a key factor in political thought and relations within the polis and between poleis. In a sharp departure from the traditional misogyny of Greek culture, Thucydides never crosses the emotion of fear with the female figures remembered in the Histories by groups or individually. The women of the Histories are not extensions of the frightening female monsters that crowd the myths nor of the murderesses of tragedy. Nor are they the lesser, frail and frightened subjects of the tragic choruses. Surprisingly, Thucydides places the women of the war years in in concrete life settings, now in the role of victims now in the aggressive role of fighters in guerrilla warfare, in which they act in the background, but as rational and aware subjects, never in the grip of emotions.
Genius loci: Vernon Lee e la via amatoriale alla scrittura della storia
Authors: Pomata Gianna
Published: January 2025

A central figure in the Anglo-florentine community at the turn of the 20th century, Vernon Lee (1856-1935) was a major contributor to the debates on aesthetics, history and literature in the transition from Victorian culture to modernism. This essay highlights a hitherto neglected feature of her intellectual profile: her criticism of academic history, which was consequent to her adoption of the intellectual persona of the “amateur” or, as we would say today, the independent scholar. Lee expressed this criticism most cogently in her writings on the genius loci –the spirit of places– which comprise several collections of historically-informed travelogues. In fact, Lee’s writings on the genius loci should not be seen simply as travel writing, as they have been so far. They are also a peculiar form of history writing – a way of knowing and reviving the past that was consciously different from, and alternative to, the professionalized way adopted by museums and academic institutions. A complex and multifaceted intellectual –a cosmopolitan searching for roots, an authoritative “dilettante”, as she is defined in this essay– Lee should be recognized as one of the formidable women who deployed the resources of the amateur tradition to effect a profound renewal of historical writing between the late 19th and the early 20th century.
O PARADOXO DA TOLERÂNCIA NA DEMOCRACIA: ENSAIO SOBRE UMA FORMA DE RESPOSTA E A BUSCA POR UMA DEMOCRACIA INCLUSIVA DIALOGAL
Authors: Bizinoto Soares de Pádua Felipe
Published: January 2025

Considered victorious in the Contemporary Age, democracy becomes part of Politics and Law, a figure considered fundamental and which best promotes the dignity of the person. As societies are dynamic within and among themselves, manifestations that diverge from democratic regime arise and are the subject of study and debate. Karl Popper introduces the divergence to democracy from the paradox of tolerance, which deals with how those intolerants of democracy should be treated by it. How to deal with these intolerants? This essay aims to problematize a border situation between Politics and Law through democratic success and how its premise of tolerance deals with the paradox coined by Karl Popper. There is more: the definition of democracy depends on the figure of tolerance, but both are constantly treated from a judicial perspective, especially by minorities. This text combats the subversion of the majority principle through the so-called tyranny of the minority, as democratic pillars must be developed under the aegis of the majority, clearly with respect for the juridical interests of all subjects.
Sobre la igualdad en la concepción del matrimonio como institución en Kant
Authors: QUIROGA Noelia Eva
Published: January 2025

This paper critically addresses Kant’s conception of equality in the institution of marriage. I will argue that such equality does not hold if we consider the sexism and homophobia that Kant incurs in his juridical, ethical and anthropological writings. Instead, I will propose to rethink the institution of marriage by taking up, on the one hand, the criticisms of sexism and homophobia in Kantian thought, and on the other hand, by considering the idea of ethical and juridical recognition in his mature thought.
Assessment of Salivary Immunoglobulin a and Lysozyme Levels and Their Relation to Dental Caries Status in a Group of Yemeni Asthmatic Children
Authors: Al-Eryani Reema A. , Al- Najjar Latifa A.
Published: January 2025

Aim of the study: To study salivary immunoglobulin A and lysozyme levels and their relation to dental caries status in a group of Yemeni asthmatic children. Subjects and methods: One hundred children of both genders were enrolled in this study, aged 6-10 years. The cases were divided into two main groups: fifty asthmatic children and fifty healthy children. Every child was examined for dental caries and assessed according to WHO criteria (1997) using defs for primary teeth and DMFS for permanent teeth. Salivary samples were collected from each child in each group and analyzed for sIgA and lysozyme. The relation between them and dental caries status for primary and permanent teeth was evaluated. Results: Results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between gender distributions of asthmatic and healthy children. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference between the mean sIgA levels of both groups. There was a statistically significant difference between asthmatic and healthy children regarding lysozyme levels. This difference in mean lysozyme levels was higher in asthmatic than healthy children. Asthmatic children showed statistically significant differences regarding defs and DMFS scores, which were lower in asthmatics than healthy children. For asthmatic children, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between defs scores and sIgA levels and a statistically significant negative correlation with lysozyme. In asthmatic children, a statistically significant positive correlation existed between DMFS scores and age and sIgA levels. For healthy children, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between DMFS scores and both age and sIgA levels. Conclusion: In children with allergic asthma the salivary concentrations of sIgA and lysozyme were significantly higher and the defs and DMFS scores were lower than in healthy children.

Published: January 2025

Aim of the study: To assess the attitude and knowledge among Yemeni parents toward their child’s oral health practice and habits with associated factors. Subjects and methods: This study was carried out using three hundred self-administered structured questionnaires for parents or guardians. Demographic variables, knowledge of dental health, oral health, and dietary practices concerning dental care, and attitudes toward oral health were assessed. The correlation between sociodemographic status and oral health knowledge and practice was evaluated. Result: results showed that the mean caregiver's level of knowledge is 53.9%. Most mothers have good knowledge about the age of primary teeth eruption 71.9% and exfoliation 64.9%, the significance of primary teeth 78.4%, what causes the most common dental disease affects teeth 91.8%, and the importance of cleaning teeth 85.4%. 68.4% Cleaned their teeth, and most of them 78.4% remained to encourage their children to clean their teeth. Mothers have bad knowledge about the time to start brushing their children’s teeth 46.8% and the role of fluoride in preventing dental caries 32.2%. There was a statistically significant correlation between the level of knowledge and the mother’s education level and occupation. Conclusion: Yemeni mothers have average knowledge of their children’s oral health status. There was a statistically significant relation between the mother’s education level and the level of knowledge. The mother's education level group (Professional) ranked first with a knowledge level (73%).
INVESTIGATE THE FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO RESISTANCE TO CHANGE IN A SELECTED BANK IN WINDHOEK, NAMIBIA
Authors: Sandy Mangani  , Dr Helena Hakweenda
Published: January 2025

Change is inevitable in the current corporate world due to various variables, including market dynamics, organisational reorganisation, and technical breakthroughs (Ghiringhelli and Virili, 2021: 330). However, change is potentially beneficial and frequently greeted with opposition from the workforce. Companies must comprehend the underlying reasons behind this resistance to successfully execute change programs (Oladimeji and Olanitori, 2022: 20).

In today's competitive environment, organisations must constantly adapt to keep up with the changes brought about by the rapid emergence and evolution of new technologies and regulations (Doppelt, 2017). But one of the biggest challenges that employers face is the resistance of their employees to the changes. Resistance to change can prevent an organisation from successfully implementing new processes or strategies (Doppelt, 2017). It can also result in decreased efficiency, higher operational expenses, and missed opportunities to grow.
„Ukryte” Michaela Hanekego jako eksperymentalny „dokument” performatywny
Authors: Sikora Sławomir
Published: January 2025

Interpretacja filmu wiedzie autora do kilku podstawowych konkluzji. Według Sikory można uznać, że (1) film Hanekego należy rozpatrywać w paradygmacie kina krystalicznego, a nie organicznego (G. Deleuze); (2) Haneke w bardzo wyrafinowany sposób zaciera rozróżnienie na to, co zewnętrzne i wewnętrzne, a tym samym zaciera różnicę między tym, co „rzeczywiste”, i tym, co „wyobrażone” – obie sfery w ciekawy sposób splatają się ze sobą (wstęga Möbiusa), odnosząc się do tego, co realne; (3) owa wyrafinowana gra pokazuje, jak trudnym do uświadomienia sobie fenomenem może być rasizm; (4) w istocie to widz zostaje intelektualnie, zmysłowo i „cieleśnie” uwikłany w konieczność uświadomienia sobie bolesnych kwestii społecznych (m.in. rasizmu) – i właśnie dlatego można ten film nazwać eksperymentalnym „dokumentem” performatywnym.
