Большинство объектов транспортных сооружений возводят бетона и железобетона. Физико-механические характеристики бетона устанавливаются в результате проведения испытаний контрольных образцов на сжатие и растяжение (изгиб). У бетона одной из самых основных физико-механических характеристик является прочность. В статье приведены результаты лабораторных исследований прочности бетона на сжатие (кубик) и изгиб (балочка). Эксперименты выполнены на лабораторном оборудовании - гидравлическом прессе с торсионным силоизмерением ПТ- 1250 и универсальной пневматической установкой ГТ – 1.0.2, предназначенной для определения предела прочности бетона при изгибе использовалась модернизированная лабораторная испытательная установка с предельной нагрузкой до 10 кН. Экспериментально определено, что изготовленные образцы из цемента марки ПЦ-Д20-Б имеют большее значение прочности бетона при сжатии по истечении 28 суток по сравнению с образцами из цемента марки ПЦ-Д20-Б + гипса марки Г-5 и только гипса марки Г-5. Изготовленные образцы-балочки испытывались по готовности от 1 суток до 28 суток из цемента марки ПЦ-Д20-Б более прочные при изгибе по сравнению с образцами из цемента марки ПЦ-Д20-Б + гипса марки Г-5 и только гипса марки Г-5. Следует отметить, что у образцов, выполненных из  гипса марки Г-5 партия № 127, прочность образцов однодневной и двадцати восьмидневной давности различается всего на 18 %. Полученные результаты испытаний контрольных образцов, выполненных на основе вяжущего (цемента и гипса) на сжатие и растяжение при изгибе, в полной мере дают представление о методике для определения физико-механических характеристик строительных материалов.

Published: August 2024

У статті досліджуються інформаційні ризики в системі національної безпеки. Сьогоднішні виклики і ризики в інформаційній сфері примушують шукати нові взаємозв'язки між галузями для підвищення якості життя і зниження інформаційних загроз. Представлені інформаційні загрози вимагають ідентифікації і нівеляції в майбутньому при виникненні подібних зовнішніх обмежень. У статті розкривається роль і місце інформаційної безпеки в системі національної безпеки країни. У цій роботі розглядаються основні поняття інформаційної безпеки в системі забезпечення національної безпеки України, а також види загроз інформаційної безпеки, методи і засоби боротьби з цими загрозами. У цій статті проаналізована проблема правового забезпечення інформаційної безпеки. Визначено, що що інформаційна політика України є регулятором публічних і приватних правовідносин, за допомогою чого реалізуються стратегічні завдання держави. Інформаційна безпека, як вид національної безпеки, своєю регуляторною дією пронизує усе різноманіття громадських стосунків, що виникають в процесі життєдіяльності людини і держави. З цього виходить, що законодавцем повинне проводитися вдосконалення не лише норм публічно-правового характеру, що містять приписи і заборони, але і приватноправових норм, конструкція яких ґрунтується на дозволенному (диспозитивному) регулюванні.

ІННОВАЦІЙНІ НАПРЯМИ ВДОСКОНАЛЕННЯ ДЕРЖАВНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ КОНКУРЕНТОСПРОМОЖНІСТЮ ЕКОНОМІКИ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Шведун В.О. , Рубан А.В.
Published: August 2024

У статті здійснено виокремлення інноваційних напрямів вдосконалення державного управління конкурентоспроможністю економіки України. Зокрема, здійснено загальний огляд дефініції «інновації». Власне кажучи, є два поняття інновації − у вузькому і загальному значенні слова. Зокрема, перша ситуація описує науково-технічні та технологічні новинки, тобто про нові продукти або технології, у другому − маються на увазі всі зміни, що впливають на оновлення організаційних процесів, фінансування або соціальних технологій. В останньому випадку в понятті «інновація» переплітаються технологічні й організаційні, соціальні та економіко-фінансові чинники. Визначено ключові фактори національної інноваційної системи. Показано, що визначальним фактором національної інноваційної системи, є ефективність взаємодії між фірмами, науково-дослідними установами, конструкторськими бюро і державою, діючими в інноваційному середовищі, в якій існують достатньо потужні стимули для проведення інновацій. Сформульовано методичні принципи державної підтримки інновацій конкурентоспроможності економіки. По-перше, інноваційну діяльність, як окремий випадок загального процесу розвитку, слід розглядати з позицій системного підходу. По-друге, інновації необхідно використовувати як товар, що володіє особливими властивостями. По-третє, інновації доцільно застосовувати як каталізатор нових циклів життя, спряжених елементів економічної системи. Нарешті, інновації створюють у суспільно-економічному середовищі серію ефектів, про які мова піде далі. Ґрунтуючись на цих принципах, перш за все, необхідно визначити структуру, джерела і взаємозв'язок основних типів інновацій.

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a hematological disorder characterized by a form of hemoglobin called HbS. This results in the formation of rigid crescent-shaped red blood cells and various complications, including emergencies related to the blood. This literature review provides an overview of these emergencies, focusing on their signs, diagnostic methods, and current treatment approaches. The main feature of SCA, hemolysis, contributes to vaso-oclusive crises, where small blood vessels become blocked and cause tissue damage due to reduced blood flow. Early identification through parameters and advanced imaging techniques like magnetic resonance imaging plays a role in effective management. Acute chest syndrome, an emergency involving blocked lung blood vessels, requires recognition and aggressive treatment that includes oxygen therapy, pain relief measures, and transfusions if necessary. The increased risk of stroke in individuals with SCA necessitates detection using doppler ultrasonography, especially in pediatric patients who may benefit from long-term transfusion therapy for prevention purposes. Comprehensive care for SCA patients goes beyond managing crisis situations and includes vaccinations, genetic counseling services well, and patient education. Exciting advancements in SCA management, such as gene therapy, offer options for the future. The review highlights the importance of taking an approach to address emergencies in SCA, which involves leveraging clinical expertise conducting laboratory investigations, and exploring innovative therapies. As researchers delve deeper into the intricacies of this condition, the path to care keeps advancing in a direction. This progress brings optimism for outcomes and an improved quality of life.

Denture stomatitis (DS) is an oral mucosal inflammation prevalent among denture wearers, characterized by diffuse or localized erythematous inflammation. Its occurrence, affecting 20%–80% of denture users globally, is nearly equal across genders, with a slight female predominance. The condition's etiology is multifaceted, involving poor oral and denture hygiene, continuous denture wear (especially overnight), and ill-fitting dentures leading to trauma. Candida albicans, along with other microbial agents, play a significant role in DS pathogenesis, facilitated by an environment conducive to fungal growth. Treatment and prevention strategies focus on patient education, behavior modification, and routine dental care. These include daily mechanical cleaning and appropriate disinfection of dentures, periodic professional maintenance, and avoiding constant denture wear. The review emphasizes the importance of distinguishing cleaning from disinfection and sterilization, highlighting effective methods like immersion in sodium hypochlorite solutions and microwave irradiation. Despite the efficacy of antifungal treatments, their use is limited due to the potential for recurrence. The review underscores the necessity for continuous commitment to denture hygiene and the benefits of using high-quality prosthodontic materials for denture maintenance and replacement. A comprehensive approach to managing DS contributes to the long-term resolution of clinical signs and reduces health risks in vulnerable populations.
Does Non-Interest Income Contribute Towards Profitability Yet? A Case study of the Banks in the GCC
Authors: Kishore Pallavi , Nirman Senanayake Achintha
Published: August 2024

Traditionally banks have earned income from lending to customers by earning interest, nevertheless, as a result of competition in the banking industry, banks have been actively looking at alternatives, such as non-interest income. This study uses random effects panel data techniques to analyse the impact of banks’ non-interest income on profitability for the top 23 publicly listed banks, based on asset-size, in the GCC region for the period 2012 to 2017. The study reveals that, variables such as Non-Performing Loans to Total Loans (NPL), Deposit growth (DG), Real Estate Loans to Total Loans (RE), Dividend Payout Ratio (DP), GDP Growth (GDP), Government ownership (GOV) are statistically significant in explaining changes in Return on Equity (ROE). The results of this study are essential for senior management teams of banks in the region as well as for regulators who monitor the market regularly for improvements. Despite the importance of the subject, there are hardly any studies conducted to test the relationship between non-Interest income to the profitability of banks in the GCC region as a whole; thus, this study aims to fill the gap by selecting a sample of banks from the GCC region.

The Effect of Periodontitis Treatment on Anti-DSDNA Titer in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Authors: Meysam Ahmadi
Published: August 2024

Aim: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and periodontitis are both inflammatory diseases. It has been revealed that may be an association exists between them. Inflammation in chronic periodontitis causes gingival erosion and alveolar bone destruction. According to available sources, chronic inflammation due to periodontal disease has a negative effect on Anti-dsDNA as one of the most important laboratory indicators of SLE. The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of periodontal treatment on Anti-dsDNA titer in patients with SLE.
Materials and methods:  The samples were selected from well controlled patients with SLE . In the initial visit, the laboratory factor “Anti-dsDNA” was recorded from the patients. Patients with periodontal disease were divided into case and control groups by block randomization method. For the case group, scaling was done with an ultrasonic device and oral health education was provided to all patients. The patients were asked to return 3 months after the periodontal treatment to evaluate the level of disease activity and the response to periodontal treatment. For data analysis, SPSS 18 program and Mann-Whitney non-parametric test was used.
Results: The average duration of the disease in this study was 6.89 ± 6.56 years. Comparison of the average Anti-dsDNA autoantibody titer before and after treatment in the intervention group considering that there was no normality between the data and there was a statistically significant difference between the average Anti-DsDNA  titer before and after the intervention in the subject group.
Conclusion:  Since the phase 1 of periodontal treatment as a modifiable risk factor has led to a significant change in Anti-dsDNA titer and this antibody is an indicator of disease flare, periodontal treatment is recommended separately from the reactivation of the disease and to promote the disease control.

An Improved Multi-Scale Region of Interest Deep Learning Model for Fruit Disease Classification
Authors: Kavitha S.
Published: August 2024

One of the main sources of nutrients is fruits, yet a variety of diseases appear that harmfully impact the fruit's quality and productivity. To avoid this issue, Deep Learning (DL) models have been developed, which identify and classify fruit diseases earlier. Amongst, a new Attribute registration and Shadow removal Adversarial Network with Multi-scale Region-Of-Interest (ROI)-based Deep Learning (ArSAN-MRDL) model creates more shadow-less fruit images to classify multiple diseases in a single fruit image and localizes the diseased regions precisely. In contrast, the standard convolution filters in the MRDL may lose the discrimination information for similar fruit diseases, which degrades the classification accuracy. Hence, this article designs the ArSAN with an improved MRDL (ArSAN-iMRDL) model to improve the accuracy of classifying similar diseases in the single shadow-less fruit image. Important advances made in this paper include (i) isolating the channel and spatial interdependency prediction of downsampling to prevent information loss, (ii) replacing the convolution in MRDL's Residual Blocks (ResBlocks) with a pyramid convolution with dilated convolution at many dilation rates to enrich the finite-size representation, and (iii) replacing the convolution in MRDL's Residual Blocks (ResBlocks. This iMRDL increases the robustness of classifying and localizing multiple fruit diseases. At last, extensive experiments show that the ArSAN-iMRDL model on apple, citrus, and tomato fruit images reaches 95.15%, 95.6%, and 95.43% accuracy, correspondingly, compared to the existing CNN models.
MOTOR PROTEİNLERİN NÖRODEJENERATİF HASTALIKLARDAKİ ROLÜ
Authors: Zobar Fatma Nur , Tüylü Küçükkılınç Zekiye Tuba
Published: August 2024

Nörodejeneratif hastalıkların görülme sıklığı günümüzde artmaya ve birçok insanı etkilemeye devam etmektedir. Nörodejeneratif hastalılar kalıtım, yaş, yaşam tarzı gibi farklı risk faktörleri ile ilişkilendirilmektedir. Yapılan birçok çalışma ile motor proteinler ve aksonal taşınmadaki bozuklukların, nörodejenerasyona ve nörodejeneratif hastalıklara sebep olan yolakta önemli rolleri olduğu kanıtlanmıştır. Motor proteinler, nöronal hücrelerde mikrotübülün (+) ve (-) uçlarına yürüyerek hücre içi iletimi ve aksonal taşınmayı sağlayan dinamik yapılardır. Yapılan incelemelerde, nörodejeneratif hastalığa sahip insan ve hayvan beyinlerinde, motor protein mekanizmasında bozuklukların olduğuna rastlanmıştır. Alzheimer, Parkinson, Amyotrofik Lateral Sklerozis ve Huntington Hastalığı gibi farklı nörodejeneratif hastalıklarda; nörodejenerasyona sebep olan protein agregatların varlığı aksonal taşınmadaki bozukluklar ile ilişkilendirilmektedir. Motor proteinler olan kinesin ve dineinler; protein, organel, RNA, sinaptik veziküller gibi kargoların hücre gövdesi ve akson uçları arasında taşınmasını sağlayan ve enerji gerektiren aksonal taşınmadan sorumlu elemanlardır. Hacimce oldukça büyük olan nöronlar için aksonal taşınma kritik bir olaydır ve hücre içi homoestazisinin devam ettirilebilmesi için zorunludur. Taşınma anında aksaklık gelişmesi, aksonal taşınma elemanlarını kodlayan genlerde mutasyonların meydana gelmesi, enerji üretimi veya kullanımında sorun meydana gelmesi gibi durumlar hücre içi iletimin engellenmesine, hücreler arası iletişimin bozulmasına ve nöronal apoptoza sebep olabilmektedir. Geri dönüşü olmayan ve ilerleyici nöron kayıpları ise nörodejenerasyonla sonuçlanarak nörodejeneratif hastalıkların ortaya çıkmasına neden olabilmektedir.
Economic Barriers as a Large Part of the Problem with Access to Healthcare
Authors: Neugebauer Jan
Published: August 2024

This study examines the economic barriers to healthcare access, focusing on their impact on vulnerable populations. The study presents the Health Care Access Barriers (HCAB) model and explores financial, structural, and cognitive barriers. Literature analysis and interviews were used to reveal the economic barriers. Results indicate that financial barriers, such as high deductibles and co-pays, are particularly burdensome for low-income individuals. Structural barriers, including limited access to transportation and healthcare facilities, exacerbate these challenges, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Cognitive barriers, such as health literacy and fear of medical debt, further hinder healthcare-seeking behaviors. Understanding the complex interplay of these barriers is crucial for developing effective interventions to improve healthcare access and equity. Expert analysis adds new views such as lost productivity, travel costs, management challenges, or economic disparities.
SHOULD THE CZECH REPUBLIC ENTRY INTO THE EURO AREA?
Authors: Zeman Mikuláš
Published: August 2024

The paper deals with the question whether the Czech Republic should adopt euro. The aim of the paper is to evaluate potential advantages and disadvantages of euro adoption. The implemented methodological framework combines the use of logical arguments with an analysis and comparison of statistical data. The analysis showed that entry into the eurozone would currently be disadvantageous for the Czech Republic and would bring a large number of risks. The loss of own monetary policy, which currently plays an important role in taming high inflation, was assessed as the main risk. In addition, the Czech Republic did not meet any of the Maastricht criteria in 2022; thus, the Czech Republic does not even meet the conditions necessary for adoption of euro.
Do Employee Wellbeing and Employee Service Performance Affected with Psychological Stress Post Covid 19?
Authors: Dato Mansor Zuraina binti , Mohamed Rosmah
Published: August 2024

Given the importance of employee service performance, this study aims to examine the relationship between stress factors and employee well-being, and test whether perceived organization support (POS) can leverage the effect of stress on employee service performance (ESP). Additionally, the study examines the mediating role of employee well-being (EWB) on the relationship between stress factors and ESP. The data were gathered using close-ended, self-administered five Likert scale questionnaires from frontline employees working in retail industries in Klang Valley, Malaysia, through google form surveys. A total of 276 data was collected. Hypotheses were developed based on Job Demand-Resource (JD-R) theory and tested using PLS-SEM technique. Results revealed that stress factors (emotional exhaustion and perceived job insecurity) are not significantly associated with EWB, but EWB significantly related to ESP. The result also shown that EWB does not mediate the relationship between stress factors and ESP, POS does not moderate the relationship between stress factors and EW. Instead of diminishing the stress factors (job demands: emotional exhaustion and perceived job insecurity) among the employees in retail industries, the study anticipated that by increasing the level of job resources, may influence the EWB and motivate a better ESP. The study extends the current literature on EWB by examining the effect of stress from the psychological perspective with the ESP by focusing on specifically on the influence of perceived job insecurity and emotional exhaustion to EWB.
El estado de la cuestión en torno a la represión y depuración franquistas del Magisterio canario (1936-1943)
Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (Madrid, España), Negrín Fajardo Olegario
Published: August 2024

This article has the central objective of making known the main publications that have been made about Franco's repression in general, and the purge of Canarian primary school teachers in particular. We are referring to books, book chapters, articles from specialized magazines and communications and presentations at conferences, which have dealt with unraveling the application of Franco's repressive machinery, which in the field of teacher education was characterized by applying certain protocols of persecution and annihilation of everything that was reminiscent of the teaching of the Second Republic, the New School, Freemasonry or the Free Institution of Education. The stated purpose was to remove from the teaching career all educators who, due to their background, were not inclined to the educational policy of Franco's national Catholicism, imposed by the victors of the Civil War, while the new educational system was planned with the teachers appropriate to highlight a conservative education symbolized by the alliance of the sword and the cross.
Fettering scrutiny on executive discretionary powers? Developments in the judicial reviewability of ministerial non-statutory guidance
Authors: Atkins Sarah
Published: August 2024

This article examines the Supreme Court’s clarification of the law relating to the judicial review of soft law. In doing so, it offers a fresh perspective on how soft law sits within the legal framework. While much literature to date has attempted to theorise the nature of soft law, or focus on judicial review strategy, this article examines the role that soft law plays in the modern regulatory state. It then examines the treatment of these instruments by the courts, with particular attention paid to the 2021 joined decisions of R(A) and BF. The Supreme Court reversed a more expansive trend evident in preceding Court of Appeal case law and reinforced the primacy of the narrower approach to review seen in the Gillick judgment. Unlike other research on these judgments, this article problematises these decisions by showing how this limits the ability of particularly vulnerable applicants like children to challenge decisions due more to systemically flawed policies than to ad hoc misapplications of soft law by end users. How the Supreme Court could in future occupy a role as a mechanism for legal accountability of discretionary executive powers is also discussed; should the judicial branch of the state avail of the opportunity to make declaratory orders or endorse practice directions that might better regularise the making of soft laws in the future. The article then discusses the wider constitutional problems raised by use of a Gillick-inspired approach, including issues relating to lack of judicial scrutiny of soft law.

Model Transformasi Terhadap Budaya Sunda Cageur, Bageur, Bener, Pinter jeung Singer
Authors: Purnama Jellia Puspa , Hermanto Yanto Paulus
Published: August 2024

The Sundanese culture, known as cageur, bageur, bener, pinter, jeung singer, also referred to as Gapura Panca Waluya, is deeply ingrained in the life of the Sundanese community. Unfortunately, Christianity is often perceived as a religion that opposes culture, even compelling individuals to abandon their native traditions. This perception arises because Christianity was introduced to Sundanese lands by European missionaries, who were associated with colonialism, making conversion to Christianity seem like adopting the religion of the colonizers. Through this research, the author aims to answer how the model of transformation for the Sundanese values of cageur, bageur, bener, pinter, jeung singer can be achieved without opposing them but by transforming the existing understanding to help Sundanese Christians experiencing these cultural values. The data collection and analysis technique employed is a literature review. Through this research, the author hopes to ensure that the Gospel can remain relevant and contextual, especially for the Sundanese community, as God uses culture to communicate His plans and wills. Keywords: Sunda; cageur; bener; pinter; bageurAbstrak Budaya Sunda yaitu cageur, bageur, bener, pinter jeung singer, disebut juga dengan Gapura Panca Waluya merupakan budaya yang melekat dalam kehidupan masyarakat Sunda. Sayangnya, kekristenan dianggap sebagai agama yang menentang budaya, bahkan dianggap memaksa seorang untuk meninggalkan budaya asal. Ini disebabkan oleh karena agama Kristen dibawa ke tanah Sunda melalui para misionaris Eropa yang identik dengan penjajah, sehingga memeluk agama Kristen dianggap memeluk agama penjajah. Lewat penelitian ini, penulis bertujuan ingin menjawab bagaimana model transformasi terhadap budaya Sunda cageur, bageur, bener, pinter jeung singer dengan tidak perlu menentang, namun mentransformasikan pengertian yang ada untuk menolong masyarakat Sunda Kristen mengalami nilai budaya tersebut. Adapun teknik pengumpulan dan analisa data menggunakan kajian literatur. Lewat penelitian ini, penulis berharap agar Injil bisa tetap menjadi relevan dan konstekstual khususnya bagi masyarakat Sunda, sebab Allah memakai budaya untuk mengkomunikasikan rencana dan kehendakNya.Kata Kunci: Sunda; cageur; bener; pinter; bageur
Illusionism and a Posteriori Physicalism: No Fact of the Matter
Authors: Brown Christopher , Papineau David
Published: August 2024

Illusionists and a posteriori physicalists agree entirely on the metaphysical nature of reality — that all concrete entities are composed of fundamental physical entities. Despite this basic agreement on metaphysics, illusionists hold that phenomenal consciousness does not exist,
whereas a posteriori physicalists hold that it does. One explanation for this disagreement would be that either the illusionists have too demanding a view about what consciousness requires, or the a posteriori physicalists have too tolerant a view. However, we will argue that this divergence
of opinion is merely an upshot of the semantic indeterminacy of the term 'conscious' and its cognates. We shall back up this diagnosis by showing how semantic indeterminacy of the kind in question is a pervasive feature of language. By illustrating this pattern with a range of historical examples,
we shall show how the dispute between the illusionists and a posteriori physicalists is one instance of a common kind of terminological imprecision. The disagreement between them is thus not substantial. In effect, the two sides differ only about how to make an indeterminate term precise.
The moral is that they should stop looking for arguments designed to settle the dispute in their favour.
The Albanian Diaspora in Budzhak and Priazovye: A Problem of Language and Identity
Authors: Dugushina Aleksandra
Published: August 2024

The article analyses the problem of language and identity among the Albanian diaspora – an ethnic minority living along the Black Sea coast in the Budzhak region and the Azov Sea area in the Priazovye region. The paper outlines the history of Albanian settlements in Eastern Europe and traces various strategies for self-identification and the nuances of being an Albanian during different historical periods. In the last two decades of the 21st century, the Albanian diaspora has experienced a big rise in interest in the Albanian language, culture, and traditions. This surge has brought new group initiatives, a search for connections to the historical homeland, new ways of marking ethnic identity, and efforts to preserve the native language. Based on the author's field data, the research focuses on local ethnic activism and contemporary communication and “recognition” between representatives of the Albanian diaspora and Albanians from the Balkans. Particular attention is paid to the issue of the Albanian dialect and standard Albanian, which plays a significant role in the policy of integrating the Albanians of Budzhak and Priazovye into the transnational diaspora space.

Religious minorities in Italy between the treaty system and common law

ABSTRACT: This paper examines the status of religious minorities in Italian law, which is based on a double channel: common law (State and regional laws) and agreements between the Government and some religious denominations approved by act of Parliament. It also examines the main theses that have emerged in the most recent doctrinal debate, the orientations of constitutional case-law and some reform proposals on the matter. In the end the author highlights the pros and cons of the current legal system and its substantial correspondence to the original constitutional design.

Comunicare l’impegno per l’ambiente
Authors: Reale Maria Cristina

Il contributo ragiona sulle direttive recentemente adottate dal legislatore europeo per contrastare il fenomeno dell’ambientalismo di facciata e rafforzare la tutela di consumatori e operatori economici, nell’ambito di una più ampia strategia volta al raggiungimento di una economia sempre più sostenibile. La lettura combinata dei due provvedimenti, seguendo anche le modifiche apportate nel corso del processo di approvazione definitiva, consente di evidenziare alcuni aspetti peculiari della tecnica legislativa europea che, nel voler dettare criteri per armonizzare la disciplina di determinati settori a livello UE, tende ad essere particolarmente minuziosa nella definizione di diritti e oneri e ad abbondare nella emanazione di atti normativi i cui contenuti si sovrappongono parzialmente. I rischi sono quelli di creare più dubbi che certezze nei destinatari e di dare origine a prassi applicative frammentate.
Saving the Past, Making History: Film Festivals and the Dynamics of Rediscovery
Authors: Gelardi Andrea
Published: August 2024

This article explores the impact of film festivals’ retrospective programming on the canons of global art cinema, wanting to contribute to a current trend in film scholarship exploring the relationship between film festivals and film histories. The argument proposed here is that, by recircling and mediating the latest film restorations and even taking ownership of specific restoration initiatives, film festivals have become key platforms for the rediscovery of so-called ‘film classics’, thus crucially contributing to shape the articulations and understanding of film histories. To this aim, the article gauges with the dynamics of cinematic rediscoveries through the theoretical prism of cultural memory studies, exploring how film festivals developed, between the early 1980s and the 1990s, a retrospective interest in the material body of the film historical past, and its preservation and restoration,acting as both arbiters and harbingers of what body of films become available once again and, eventually, studied by scholars, critics and students. By considering several institutional cases and the emergence of retrospective strands in some of the major A-list festivals, this article contends that these festivals have become essential ‘sites of passage’ to the contemporary ways of accessing and historicizing of the histories of global art cinema.
Rizoma versus micelio
Authors: Colombo Roberta
Published: August 2024

Nel 1983 Umberto Eco pubblica il saggio “L’antiporfirio”, all’interno del volume curato da Gianni Vattimo e Pier Aldo Rovatti intitolato Il pensiero debole. Il testo echiano segna uno spartiacque teorico tra i primi due romanzi dell’autore, Il nome della rosa (1980) e Il pendolo di Foucault (1988), permettendo di capire come la narrazione enciclopedica che caratterizza entrambe le opere costituisca una strategia interpretativa della realtà. Non solo: quello che qui preme mettere in evidenza è la modalità differente con cui Eco si accosta alla complessità del mondo attraverso l’impianto tematico e strutturale del racconto. Se le avventure parigine del Pendolo risultano un’applicazione dell’idea diffusiva del rizoma, la matrice del Nome della rosa corrisponde piuttosto all’organizzazione del micelio, la filigrana sotterranea dei funghi che si arresta là dove l’organismo ha sufficienti sostanze nutritive e possibilità di farsi coltivare dalle altre specie viventi, mettendo un argine al disordine dei fenomeni
THE MIDDLE EOCENE BONY FISH FAUNA OF CALIFORNIA, USA, RECONSTRUCTED BY MEANS OF OTOLITHS

Published: August 2024

Large and diverse Eocene otolith assemblages have been described from the US Gulf and Atlantic coastal plains, various basins in Europe, and New Zealand. Here we described a highly diverse otolith association from the middle Eocene (Lutetian and Bartonian) strata of southern California, San Diego County, which was retrieved from the heritage of John E. Fitch (1918-1982) in the archives of the Ichthyology Department of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Los Angeles, Califronia. The collection represents the first Eocene otolith assemblage described from the Northeastern Pacific and stems from two localities: the Ardath Shale at Black’s Beach in the Torrey Pines Park just south of Black’s Canyon Road and north of the Salk Fault on the Pacific shore face, and the MissionValley Formation from the west-facing graded hill just east of the Miramar Water Treatment Plant near the southern shore of Miramar Reservoir. The Ardath Shale was deposited on the deep shelf and continental slope while the Mission Valley Formation represent an inland, nearshore environment during times of the maximum transgression.
            A total of more than15,000 otoliths were found representing 96 species of which 53 are described as new and 12 remain in open nomenclature. The fauna of the Ardath Shale is distinctly richer containing 88 species while the one from the Miramar Reservoir site yielded 38 species. The low diversity at the Miramar Reservoir site is thought to be related to the shallow-water environment in which it was deposited whereas the high diversity at Black’s Beach reflects a mixture of shelf and bathyal fishes. In addition, 24 new otolith-based genera are established, four of which are in the category “incertae sedis”. Furthermore, five new species are described from a comparative otolith collection from the US Gulf Coast Eocene and one new species from a comparative collection from the Lutetian of Balegem in Belgium.
            The Eocene otolith-based fish fauna from California is assessed for its paleoecological, paleobiogeographic and evolutionary significance. Particular emphasis is directed towards the elucidation of the evolution of the early Ophidiiformes, which during the early Paleogene were predominantly adapted to warm, clastic shallow-water environments and there were competing in abundance and diversity with other percomorphs (e.g., perciforms s.l.). A warm Eocene paleobioprovince is proposed for the Californian fish fauna which is not related to today’s endemic Northwest Pacific fish fauna along the regime of the cold-water California Current.
Re Lear in città: un exemplum del «Ludus scaccorum» di Iacopo da Cessole nel contesto (Tubach 965)
Authors: Scolari Antonio
Published: August 2024

L’ultimo capitolo del terzo trattato del Ludus scaccorum di Iacopo da Cessole è dedicato ai marginali della città (scialacquatori, giocatori e corrieri). Il primo exemplum di questo capitolo è una combinazione di due temi molto fortunati: l’ingratitudine dei figli nei confronti del padre e il tesoro supposto. Una analisi dell’exemplum che tenga conto del contesto in cui è inserito consente di far emergere l’ utilizzo originale che ne fa Iacopo: la recisa condanna degli scialacquatori, categoria sociale irriducibile al bene comune, elide la più ovvia e diffusa moralizzazione della pietà filiale nei confronti dei genitori e anche la tradizionale tematica aneddotica dello scherzo ingegnoso.
Sulla diacronia breve dello schwa nei testi di 'mediattivisti di movimento': forme, frequenza e funzioni socio-identitarie
Authors: De Cesare Anna-Maria
Published: August 2024

Nell’ampia bibliografia ormai disponibile sullo schwa (‘ə’) scarseggiano ancora gli studi empirici che descrivono l’uso effettivo del segno nelle comunità linguistiche che lo adoperano a vari fini comunicativi. Il presente contributo intende colmare questa lacuna proponendo uno studio incentrato sui testi pubblicati su GlobalProject, una piattaforma che dal 2002 dà voce a ‘mediattivisti di movimento’, impegnati su vari fronti politici, sociali e ambientali. L’analisi, basata su un corpus costruito per l’occasione, è prevalentemente qualitativa e descrive la diacronia breve del segno (2018-2024) soffermandosi su tre aspetti: le sue forme e varianti grafiche, la sua frequenza d’uso e le sue funzioni semantico-referenziali. I risultati ottenuti permettono di arricchire il quadro offerto dai lavori che hanno descritto l’uso dello schwa nella comunità queer (Comandini 2021) e nell’editoria di nicchia (Thornton 2022).
