Published: October 2021

Bien que l’anxiété soit très répandue chez les personnes souffrant d’un trouble bipolaire et qu’elle ait des impacts délétères sur l’évolution et le traitement de la maladie, des recensions des écrits antérieures ont souligné que de nombreux aspects de cette condition demeurent sous-étudiés (Provencher et al., 2012 ; Spoorthy et al., 2019). La présente étude de portée (scoping review) vise à fournir un portrait complet de la littérature traitant de l’anxiété dans le trouble bipolaire (ATB) entre 2011 et 2020, à évaluer si l’intérêt pour le sujet a augmenté au cours de la dernière décennie et à cartographier les tendances de publication. Trois bases de données ont été consultées, tous les articles ont été triés sur la base du titre et du résumé, et un échantillon aléatoire correspondant à 25 % des articles restants a été constitué en vue d’évaluer leur éligibilité (n = 406 articles). De ces derniers, 247 articles ont été inclus. Les 75 % restants (n = 1217 articles) sont en processus de catégorisation et les résultats finaux seront présentés dans une publication ultérieure. Le nombre annuel d’articles sur l’ATB publiés entre 2011 et 2020 a été calculé et les articles traitant du sujet en tant que sujet principal ont été classés en 4 catégories et 11 sous-catégories afin d’identifier les lacunes dans les connaissances sur le sujet. Les résultats préliminaires (basés sur l’échantillon de 25 %) indiquent que le nombre annuel de publications est resté relativement stable au cours de la période et que seulement 33,6 % des articles font de l’ATB leur sujet principal. Parmi ceux-ci, plus de 50 % sont de nature descriptive, couvrant principalement les impacts observables de la comorbidité et ses caractéristiques cliniques. Une proportion plus faible de la littérature aborde les processus sous-jacents à l’ATB (14,5 %) et son traitement (22,9 %). Ces résultats soulèvent des interrogations quant à la pertinence de continuer à investir des ressources dans la recherche portant sur les aspects descriptifs du sujet alors que l’on en sait encore peu sur les mécanismes sous-jacents à l’ATB et sur son traitement. Les résultats soulignent la nécessité de poursuivre les recherches sur ces autres aspects de l’ATB afin de mieux comprendre et traiter cette comorbidité unique.
Verification of Gas Flow Traceability from 0.1 sccm to 1 sccm Using a Piston Gauge
Authors: Bair Michael
Published: October 2021

Fluke Calibration is accredited for gas flow measurements in the range of 0.1 sccm to 6000 slm in nitrogen and air. Traceability is maintained directly through a gravimetric f low standard but only recently from 1 sccm to 10 sccm. The traceability of flow in the range of 0.1 sccm to 1 sccm is based on extrapolation of the use of laminar flow elements (LFE) below 1 sccm. This part of the range has never been completely verified through interlaboratory comparisons, proficiency testing or other means of measurement assurance. In an internal document from DH Instruments in the early 1990s it was suggested that a piston gauge might improve traceability for very low gas flows. In order to prove out traceability in this range an attempt was made to use a piston gauge using a piston-cylinder size of 35 mm diameter as a reference. One reason for choosing a piston gauge as a reference is its pressure control. This is crucial when measuring gas flow through a LFE in this design and range. In addition, the effective area is known to within 0.001 %, leaving the vertical displacement of the piston to dominate the uncertainty of the dimensional part of the flow test. This was a challenge because the measurements required absolute mode and the internal piston position sensor supplied with the piston gauge did not have sufficient precision. This paper describes the theory and design of the gas flow measurement system, the current results, and improvements desired or suggested. Two different designs are discussed, one with a single piston gauge as a reference and one with two piston gauges measuring flow on either side of the laminar flow element. Note: sccm (standard cubic centimeters per minute) is an industry accepted alternative to kg/s [1]. It is used out of convenience to normalize flow rates of gases with significant differences in density.

Published: October 2021

Abstract. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) tend to be consumed by atmospheric oxidants, resulting in substantial photochemical loss during transport. An observation-based model is used to evaluate the influence of photochemical loss of VOCs on the sensitivity regime and mechanisms of ozone formation. Our results showed that a VOC-limited regime based on the observed VOC concentrations shifted to a transition regime with the photochemical initial concentration of VOCs (PIC-VOCs) in the morning. The net ozone formation rate was underestimated by 3 ppb h−1 (36 ppb day−1) based on the PIC-VOCs. The relative contribution of the RO2 path to ozone production based on the PIC-VOCs accordingly increased by 13.4 %, particularly, the contribution of alkenes derived RO2 increased around 10.2 %. The contribution of local photochemistry might be underestimated to both local and regional ozone pollution if the consumed VOCs was not accounted for, and policy-making on ozone pollution prevention should focus on high-reactivity VOCs.
Lightning activity in Northern Europe during a stormy winter: disruptions of weather patterns originating in global climate phenomena
Authors: Kolmašová Ivana , Santolík Ondřej , Rosická Kateřina
Published: October 2021

Abstract. In this study, we use the World Wide Lightning Location Network data and investigate properties of more than ninety thousand lightning strokes which hit Northern Europe during an unusually stormy winter 2014/2015. Thunderstorm days with at least two strokes hitting an area of 0.5° × 0.5° occurred 5–13 times per month in the stormiest regions. Such frequency of thunderstorm days is about five times higher than a mean annual number calculated for the same region over winter months in 2008–2017. The number of individual winter lightning strokes was about four times larger than the long-term median calculated over the last decade. In colder months of December, January and February, the mean energy of detected strokes was by two order of magnitude larger than the global mean stroke energy of 1 kJ. We show for the first time that winter superbolts with radiated electromagnetic energies above one mega joule appeared at night and in the morning hours, while the diurnal distribution of all detected lightning was nearly uniform. We also show that the superbolts were often single stroke flashes and that their subsequent strokes never reached MJ energies. The lightning strokes were concentrated above the ocean close to the western coastal areas. All these lightning characteristics favors a hypothesis that the intense winter lightning activity might have originated in an anomalously warm sea surface in the eastern North Atlantic which made the thundercloud charging more efficient. The increase of the sea surface temperature and resulting unusual production of lightning in winter 2014/2015 might have been caused by a starting super El Nino event, by a positive phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation or by a combination of both these large-scale climatic events.
The “ideal” spectrograph for atmospheric observations
Authors: Platt Ulrich , Wagner Thomas , Kuhn Jonas , Leisner Thomas
Published: October 2021

Abstract. Spectroscopy of scattered sunlight in the near-UV to near-IR spectral ranges has proven to be an extremely useful tool for the analysis of atmospheric trace gas distributions. A central parameter for the achievable sensitivity and spatial resolution of spectroscopic instruments is the étendue (product of aperture angle and entrance area) of the spectrograph, which is at the heart of the instrument. The étendue of an instrument can be enhanced by (1) upscaling all instrument dimensions or (2) by changing the instrument F number, (3) by increasing the entrance area, or (4) by operating many instruments (of identical design) in parallel. The étendue can be enhanced by (in principle) arbitrary factors by options (1) and (4); the effect of options (2) and (3) is limited. We present some new ideas and considerations of how instruments for the spectroscopic determination of atmospheric gases could be optimized using new possibilities in spectrograph design and manufacturing. Particular emphasis is on arrays of massively parallel instruments for observations using scattered sunlight. Such arrays can reduce size and weight of instruments by orders of magnitude while preserving spectral resolution and light throughput. We also discuss the optimal size of individual spectrographs in a spectrograph array and give examples of spectrograph systems for use on a (low Earth orbit) satellite, including one with sub-kilometre ground pixel size.
Exploring the interaction effect of poverty concentration and transit service on highway traffic during the COVID-19 lockdown
Authors: Tao Tao , Cao Jason
Published: October 2021

During COVID-19 lockdowns, transit agencies need to respond to the decline in travel but also maintain the essential mobility of transit-dependent people. However, there are a few lessons that scholars and practitioners can learn from. Using highway traffic data in the Twin Cities, this study applies a generalized additive model to explore the relationships among the share of low-income population, transit service, and highway traffic during the week that occurred right after the 2020 stay-at-home order. Our results substantiate that transportation impacts are spread unevenly across different income groups and low-income people are less able to reduce travel, leading to equity concerns. Moreover, transit supply influences highway traffic differently in areas with different shares of low-income people. Our study suggests that transportation agencies should provide more affordable travel options for areas with concentrated poverty during lockdowns. In addition, transit agencies should manage transit supply strategically depending on the share of low-income people to better meet people’s mobility needs.
From Dialectical Closure to ParallacticalIndeterminacy: A Study of the Political and Individual Modes of Being in Slavoj Zizek’s Antigone
Authors: Khan Sheheryar
Published: October 2021

Parallax is the difference in perception caused by the spatial shift of the observer and the observed. Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek has used thisscientific notion to interpret apparently antithetical positions in the fields of politics, neurobiologyand philosophy. His contention is that the parallax shift makes some phenomenon appear as two, while a change in perspective can make us see that theyare, in fact, ONE. The notion of parallax can also be exploited to read a literary text and, in this article, I intend to use it to read Slavoj Zizek’s own re-writing of Sophocles’ play Antigone. Antigone, as a character, has enamored and appalled criticsand philosophers throughout history. Her defiance against the State has been interpreted and evaluated from different perspectives and viewpoints. The play stages the conflict between two modes of being, thepoliticaland the individual,and the appeal ofits polemic seems not to have gotten stale all these centuries. In his re-writing, Slavoj Zizek has provided two alternates to the original ending. He has described this as an “ethico-political exercise”(Zizek,2016, p. xxv)and not a literary venture butI have attempted to read his play as a literary text applying his philosophical notion of the parallax. I have used textual analysis as my method in order to read the selected text. My contention is that the two alternate endings provided by Zizek presentthe individual and political as two warring modes of being but a shift in parallactical position can make them appear as ONE. Moreover, it can also be argued that even the two alternates are an outcome of a parallactical movement in perspective that masksthe inherent ONENESS of the two.
Gry w kinie. Filmowe próby adaptacji gier wideo
Authors: Murawski Bartosz
Published: October 2021

Gry wideo zdobywają coraz mocniejszą pozycję w mainstreamie kultury popularnej. Przemysł filmowy szybko dostrzegł ich potencjał, na początku jednak wykorzystując go jedynie jako źródło dodatkowych możliwości biznesowych, a nie inspiracji fabularnych. Sytuacja zmieniła się na początku lat 90. XX wieku, gdy po raz pierwszy na ekrany kin weszła adaptacja gry Super Mario Bros. Odtąd w Hollywood wielokrotnie próbowano zmierzyć się z zadaniem przeniesienia gier na ekrany kin, ale efekty tych zmagań nie były najlepsze. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie historii filmowych adaptacji gier wideo i analiza ich recepcji, a także odpowiedź na pytanie: czy gradaptacje w ogóle mają sens?
Multi-tier multi-tenant network slicing: A multi-domain games approach

Published: October 2021

The 5G slice networks will play a critical role in meeting the stringent quality-of-service requirements of different use cases, reducing the Capital Expenditure (CapEX) and Operational Expenditure (OpEX) of mobile network operators. Owing to the flexibility and ability of 5G slice networks to meet the needs of different verticals, it attracts new network players and entities to the mobile network ecosystem, and therefore it creates new business models and structures. Motivated by this development, this paper addresses the dynamic resource allocation in a multi-slice multi-tier multi-domain network with different network players. The dynamic resource allocation problem is formulated as a maximum utility optimisation problem from a multiplayer multi-domain perspective. Furthermore, a 3-level hierarchical business model comprising Infrastructure Providers (InPs), Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), Service Providers (SPs), and slice users are investigated. We propose two schemes: a multi-tier multi-domain slice user matching game scheme and a distributed backtracking multiplayer multi-domain game scheme in solving the transformed maximum utility optimisation problem. We compare the multi-tier multi-tenant multi-domain game scheme with a Genetic Algorithm (GA) Intelligent Latency-Aware Resource (GI-LARE) allocation scheme, and a static slicing resource allocation scheme via Monte Carlo simulation. Our findings reveal that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms these other schemes.

With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-empowered communications, industry, academia, and standardization organizations are progressing on the definition of mechanisms and procedures to address the increasing complexity of future 5G and beyond communications. In this context, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) organized the First AI for 5G Challenge to bring industry and academia together to introduce and solve representative problems related to the application of Machine Learning (ML) to networks. In this paper, we present the results gathered from Problem Statement 13 (PS-013), organized by Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), whose primary goal was predicting the performance of next-generation Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) applying Channel Bonding (CB) techniques. In particular, we provide an overview of the ML models proposed by participants (including artificial neural networks, graph neural networks, random forest regression, and gradient boosting) and analyze their performance on an open data set generated using the IEEE 802.11ax-oriented Komondor network simulator. The accuracy achieved by the proposed methods demonstrates the suitability of ML for predicting the performance of WLANs. Moreover, we discuss the importance of abstracting WLAN interactions to achieve better results, and we argue that there is certainly room for improvement in throughput prediction through ML.

Authors: Akhtar Saeed  , Ozgur Gurbuz  , Mustafa Alper Akkas  , Ahmet Ozan Bicen
Published: October 2021

Terahertz band (0.1-10 THz) communications is one of the candidates for 6G systems due to intrinsic massive bandwidth and data rate support. Having demonstrated the significant potential of THz band at various atmospheric altitudes, in this article, we discuss the prospects of THz communications for drone networks, more specifically, for Drone Sensor Networks (DSNs). For 6G non-terrestrial communication scenarios, drones will not only serve as on-demand base-stations, as supporting alternatives or backhauls for the terrestrial base stations, but they will also provide seamless connectivity for distributed monitoring and surveillance applications, which require an ultra-reliable low latency service for carrying multimedia data. THz band sensing will also provide additional sensing capabilities from the sky to THz-enabled DSNs. Presenting this vision, in this paper, we first discuss possible use cases of THz-enabled drone networks considering communication, sensing and localization aspects. Then, for revealing the capacity potential of THz-enabled drone networks, we provide motivating channel capacity results for communication of drones at different altitudes, under ideal channel conditions with no fading and realistic channel with beam misalignment and multipath fading. We further present major challenges pertaining to employing the THz band for DSNs, addressing physical layer issues, followed with spectrum and interference management, medium access control and higher layers and security, while reviewing some prominent solutions. Finally, we highlight future research directions with Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML)-based approaches and mobile edge computing.

Published: October 2021

Existing network topology planning does not fully consider the increasing network traffic and problem of uneven link capacity utilization, resulting in lower resource utilization and unnecessary investments in network construction. The AI-based network topology optimization system introduced in this paper builds a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model for time series traffic forecasting, which uses NetworkX, a Python library, for graph analysis, dynamically optimizes the network topology by edge deletion or addition based on traffic over nodes, and ensures network load balancing when node traffic increases, mainly introducing the LSTM forecasting model building process, parameter optimization strategy, and network topology optimization in some detail. As it effectively enhances resource utilization, this system is vital to the optimization of complex network topology. The end of this paper looks forward to the future development of artificial intelligence, and suggests the possibility of how to cooperate with operator networks and how to establish cross-border ecological development.

Published: October 2021

The data forwarding plane in the Software Defined Network (SDN) is decoupled from the network control plane, which can realize the unified control of the whole network by the controller. Although centralize control provide great convenient in many cases, it is vulnerable to malicious attacks, especially for one of the most threatening attack - Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). We innovatively propose a machine learning hybrid DDoS attack detection model which provide high precision within short-term. We named our model as RF-SVM-IL, which represents an integration of integrates Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Incremental Learning (IL). The combination of RF and SVM can detect detect attacks in two layers and filter out the easily misclassified samples. Then IL is added to filter new samples to avoid repeated iteration training, and improve the adaptability of the model to dynamic data. Compared with other methods, RF-SVM-IL can detect DDoS attacks in SDN with higher accuracy and shorter time. The experimental results show that the average detection accuracy of RF-SVM-IL model is as high as 98.54%, and the detection time is as low as 2.386s.

In the real world, investors believe that they can receive more returns for trading stocks by utilizing technical analysis. However, due to the seriously worldwide breakout of COVID-19 from 2020, investors are not sure if they could outperform the market by applying the technical trading rules during this severe period. Thus, we conduct this study to investigate the profitability of stock trading with the use of technical indicators under COVID-19 pandemic. By trading the constituent stocks of Hotel Stock 20 Index (HSI 20) whose stock prices seem considerably declined after the outbreak of COVID-19, we discover that most of the trading rules utilized in this study fail to beat the market in the first half of the year 2020. The findings of this study may shed light on that investors should adopt technical trading rules with care when stock markets are severely affected by black swan events, such as COVID-19. We argue that the above issue would be rather impressive not only for market participants to avoid losses, even make profits, but also for the existing literature due to the rare discussion in the past.

Published: October 2021

In order to reduce the induction noise of automobile engine, an active control system model of engine induction noise is established with the FXLMS algorithm, the off-line identification method is used to identify the secondary channel, and the engine speed signal is used to construct the sound source reference signal to avoid the interference from secondary sources to the reference signal. The influence of filter length and convergence factor on the convergence speed and stability of the system is studied by simulation, the average power of the noise signal and the error signal is calculated, the noise variation at different engine speeds is analyzed, and the noise reduction effect and system stability are evaluated. The results show that when the filter order L is 20 and the convergence factor is 0.01, the engine induction noise can be effectively reduced, the noise reduction can reach 15dB, and the system stability can be improved at the same time. This paper optimizes the convergence factor and the filter order in the FXLMS algorithm, and can effectively control the induction noise in the car and improve the indoor sound quality of the car. It has important reference significance for practical engineering applications.

Authors: . Mridul , Sharma Aditi
Published: October 2021

Increased competition among businesses demands adequate attention towards steps which would ensure business survival in long run. Businesses must build on their strengths which in turn depend upon their employee’s strengths. One of such strengths is employee’s positive Psychological Capital which comprises of self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resilience.  Employee’s Psychological Capital has been linked to key driver of sustainable competitive advantage in today’s business scenario that is innovation. This review focuses upon studies determining the relationship between Psychological Capital and innovation. The review suggests that Psychological capital is a significant predictor of innovation among employees working in various sectors.  Positive leadership styles such as Authentic, transformational leadership etc. and favourable organizational climate are found to foster Psychological Capital among employees. Although at individual level there are studies linking Psychological Capital with innovative behaviour, but less number of studies have examined the role of team or collective Psychological Capital in predicting overall innovation within the organizations.

A Study Case on Estimation of Soil Loss and Sediment Yield in Curtin University, Malaysia
Authors: Ngieng Hui Yee , Yong Leong Kong , Strimari Striprabu
Published: October 2021

Because of human activities, soil erosion has been one of the most concerning issues in Malaysia in the past decades. This study aimed to estimate the amount of soil loss and sediment yield at Curtin University, Malaysia by using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and the Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE), respectively. The parameters of RUSLE include rainfall erosivity factor (R), soil erodibility factor (K), slope length factor (L), slope steepness factor (S), cover-management factor (C) and support practice factor (P). The rainfall data (10 years) from the Sarawak Meteorological Department was used to determine the R-factor. The K-factor was determined by sieve analysis, hydrometer analysis, the Standard Proctor Test (SPT), and organic content testing. The L-and S-factors were performed by measuring on site and using Google Earth. The C-and P-factors were based on the ground surface cover condition (bare soil in this study). In the MUSLE, the runoff factor comprises V and Qp, while the other parameters are the same as in the RUSLE. The runoff depth, V, is equivalent to the rainfall intensity. Rainfall intensities were recorded by using a rain gauge. The highest rainfall intensity was used for runoff depth. The Rational method has been utilized to calculate Qp. The amount of soil loss estimated was 119.97 tons/ha/year and the sediment yield amount estimated was 0.76 ton/storm event in Curtin University, Malaysia.

Многоезичието в училищна среда като политически и практико-педагогически проблем
Authors: Коеvа Yanka
Published: October 2021

В статията се разглеждат някои основни научни идеи за многоезичието. Разграничават се усвояването на чужд език и на книжовния език, различен от майчиния. Двата типа многоезичие функционират на компетентностно равнище по подобен начин, което повлиява съвременните практики на обучение. Комуникативният подход се отразява благоприятно върху подбора и формулирането на учебните задачи. Чрез тях се постига такова овладяване на целевия език, което е полезно за всекидневието на учениците. Мултикултурализмът налага промяна и в политиките за организиране на училищното обучение. Усвояването на нов език не представлява елитарно занимание, а е част от задължителното общо образование на съвременния млад човек. Благодарение на чуждите езици той може да се интегрира в конкурентния трудов пазар и да се докосне до европейското културно богатство.

Different ingredients and adjuncts have been used in the production of craft beer aiming to add new characteristics to the final product. In turn, the pecan nut has recognized antioxidant properties and, therefore, the extract of its shell was added in the beer production process with the main objective of increasing the beer antioxidant capacity. The all-grain method was used to produce the beverage and, on the packaging step, pecan nutshell extract was added at three different concentrations. The samples underwent antioxidant, physicochemical, and sensorial analysis. Data were submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA). The use of pecan nutshell extract as an ingredient in beer processing has proved to be a viable alternative due to satisfactory results in sensory evaluation, with good acceptability of the consumers, maintaining physicochemical characteristics similar to the standard beer produced without the extract. However, the addition of the extract did not increase the antioxidant capacity in craft beer. Even though the antioxidant power of produced beer wasn´t increased in this experiment, still pecan nutshell could be a good resource of antioxidants to whom drink beer, and your low price in the market make it viable to beer industry.
Ioan Lupaș – the maker and memorialist of the Union of Transylvania with Romania
Authors: Abrudan Mircea-Gheorghe ,   Institutul de Istorie ",   George Barițiu",   , Cluj-Napoca
Published: October 2021

A prolific historian, a professor of the Andreian Seminary in Sibiu, parish priest of Săliștea and an archpriest of Mărginimea Sibiului, a professor of the ‘King Ferdinand I’ University in Cluj, a titular member of the Romanian Academy, a talented publicist, a co-founder of the Institute of National History in Cluj, a deputy in the Parliament of Greater Romania, a minister in the Averescu and Goga-Cuza governments, a patriot and victim of the Bolshevik regime in the 1950s’ Romania, Ioan Lupaș is a scholar with the aura of a saint. Fr. Lupaș is part of the admirable generation of those who committed themselves with all their power and selflessness to the national movement of the Transylvanian Romanians, those who achieved the Union of Transylvania, Banat, Crișana and Maramureș with the Kingdom of Romania on 1 December 1918 and then fought for the consolidation of national unity during the interwar period. Lupaș is part of the leading gallery of the makers of Greater Romania, and one of the few historians-participants who later wrote relevant pages about the astral event in which they were active participants. The study provides a brief biography of Ioan Lupaș, focusing on the activity of the archpriest at the time of the First World War, his involvement in the organization of the Great National Assembly of Alba Iulia, and the way in which he subsequently remembered the events and feelings experienced in the year of the ‘fortunate fulfilling of long-awaited goals’ and of ‘thoroughly well-deserved triumph’.
"The House of Goldsmith Michael Lutsch. New Data on the History of a Pre-Modern Town House in Cluj"

Published: October 2021

"This study is dedicated to a building in downtown Cluj, located on the south side of today’s Memorandumului Street. Although the edifice features many aspects of the stylistic evolution of the architecture of Cluj (it was built in Gothic style, with considerable changes that pertained to the Renaissance and then the Baroque styles), the history of the edifice is almost unknown in the literature of local history. Our study aims to provide a detailed description of the building, to outline the various stages of its construction, and to identify the people who animated its spaces and contributed to the history of the building."

The New Social Mobility: How Communist Policies Changed the Landscape of Romanian Society in the 50s and 60s
Authors: Onaciu Vlad ,   Facultatea de Istorie și Filosofie, Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai, Cluj-Napoca
Published: October 2021

The economic policies of the communist regime in Romania had a powerful impact on society, transforming it in many regards: behaviorally, professionally, demographically, etc. In this study we propose an analysis of how the ‘new worker’ was constructed, migration to cities and the relationship with the old workforce. For the purposes of our research, we focused on the case‑study of Cluj, taking advantage of its ethnic diversity which offers an extra layer for the analysis, but also because the city had an industrial sector before the communist period. Firstly, we aimed at explaining the demographic process through which a large number of people from the countryside moved to cities in search for an industrial job. This phenomenon can be linked to the effects of collectivization, which changed the social mobility model, as it dissolved the right to own land. Secondly, we aim to understand the ample process of integrating new workers in production and their tense relationship with the old proletariat. This must be understood within the context of urbanization, of migrants and the ‘ruralization of cities.’ The last element brought into discussion will be regarding the role played by old specialists in communist industrialization. Here we will focus on the interesting case of Dezideriu Jenei, chief‑engineer at Tehnofrig, one of the few examples we can retrace from the archives.
The Domestic Macabre: Devils and Violence on Medieval Tiles
Authors:   Muzeul Național de Istorie a Transilvaniei, Gruia Ana Maria
Published: October 2021

"The present paper analyzes the possible functions of medieval stove tile depictions consisting of violent scenes and images of devils and devilish monsters. The depictions on mold‑made stove tiles can be considered the first mass produced images before print and are thus valuable sources in the research of popular culture, especially in Central and Eastern Europe where print made a later appearance. The focus here is on macabre depictions of tiles (devilish monsters, scenes of deadly violence, demons, and afterlife torments). My hypothesis is that though ‘lighter’ than macabre scenes in other arts, such images on stove tiles might have played an apotropaic function, meant to repel or distract maleficent spirits that could cause people harm through stove malfunctions. Still, one cannot exclude the moralizing, instructive, and purely entertaining functions of such depictions."

The present research is organized in two parts. In the first part we briefly presented the moment when the cultural societies of the nationalities of the Habsburg Monarchy appeared, with a more pronounced emphasis on that of the Romanians. In the second part we presented the most significant contributions of ASTRA regarding its involvement in knowing and improving the daily life of Romanians in the Austro‑Hungarian Empire. In our enterprise we relied largely on the research published in the official journal of the mentioned cultural society, but also on other works supported and published under its auspices. Also, in drafting the article we used the existing specialized literature.
Re-evaluating Octavian Smigelschi’s Angel of Death Paintings Series (1892-1912)
Authors: Gruiță-Savu Ioana ,   Muzeul Național de Istorie a Transilvaniei
Published: October 2021

The Angel of Death painting series is Octavian Smigelschi’s personal reflections on a private moment, his younger brother’s death that occurred in 1892. For almost a decade he constantly evoked the image of his tormented brother, obsessively returning to this same subject. The present article reevaluates the artistic products of this series, both in the context of Smigelschi’s creative process and against the Central European artistic background. Following the genesis of his work process I identified the main key steps in the development of his subject and compositional schemes, transformed under the influence of his changing attitude towards the abovementioned event, from a particular situation to a general meditation on death.
