Sastra Lama Tulis sebagai Kelanjutan Tradisi Lisan dalam Ranah Sastra Jawa
Authors: Saputra Karsono Hardjo
Published: December 2024

Pada mulanya adalah bahasa, yang menurut ilmu bahasa adalah sistem bunyi yang berpola dan bermakna. Keberpolaan dan kebermaknaan bergantung pada konvensi masyarakat penggunanya. Pengertian keberpolaan adalah kemunculannya sebagai suatu sistem dapat diramalkan. Sebagai contoh, runtunan bunyi bahasa mempunyai pola-pola baku sesuai dengan tatarannya: morfem, kata, frasa/klausa, kalimat, dan seterusnya. Demikian pun pada tataran gramatika dan semantik. Adapun yang dimaksud kebermaknaan adalah setiap satuan tata susun bunyi mempunyai makna. Sementara konvensi diperlukan, baik disadari atau tidak, karena fungsi bahasa pertama-tama merupakan sarana komunikasi antaranggota masyarakat pemiliknya. Baik pola maupun makna berada dalam ranah konvensi agar bahasa dapat mengemban amanah komunikasinya.Oleh karena sebagai sistem bunyi, maka bahasa memiliki sifat kelisanan (orality). Bunyi-bunyi yang berpola itu keluar melalui alat ucap (daerah artikulasi) si pembicara, diserap oleh alat dengar lawan bicara, lalu disepakati maknanya. Komunikasi akan terjadi apabila maksud si pembicara yang dinyatakan melalui bunyi-bunyi bahasa dapat ditangkap oleh lawan bicara. Sebaliknya, komunikasi tidak terjalin apabila makna tidak berkesusaian antara pembicara dan lawan bicara.Pada perkembangan kemudian bahasa yang pada mulanya berfungsi sebagai sarana komunikasi juga mengemban tugas lainâ€”meski juga tetap berada pada ranah â€œkomunikasiâ€â€”sebagai sarana ekspresi seni: sastra, pertunjukan, bahkan juga ekspresi keagamaan: mantra dan doa, walaupun pada tataran tertentu ada juga mantra yang dikelompokkan sebagai â€œpuisiâ€. Dalam ranah kebudayaan Jawa tradisional, baik sastra, seni pertunjukan (kethoprak, wayang, ludruk, dan sebagainya), mantra, maupun doa dinyatakan secara verbal. Dalam lingkup sastra maka kemudian lahirlah sastra lisan, bak puisi maupun prosa. Pengertian sastra lisan adalah teks yang hidup dengan cara dilisankan, dilakukan seseorang atau beberapa orang, dan ada sekelompok orang lain yang menjadi pendengarnya; bahkan berkemungkinan ada saling sahut antara pelisan (tukang cerita) dan pendengar.
Ramuan Flora dan Fauna dalam Mujarabat Melayu
Authors: Yunos Yusmilayati , Mohamed Noriah
Published: December 2024

Perubatan tradisional terus mekar bersama dunia perubatan moden sebagai satu kaedah rawatan penyakit kepada masyarakat. Cara rawatan tradisional menggunakan bahan daripada flora atau tumbuh-tumbuhan dan fauna iaitu haiwan dipercayai mengandungi khasiat yang tersembunyi untuk menyembuhkan penyakit. Jika dikaitkan dengan Mujarabat Melayu, ramuan flora dan fauna bermaksud bahan-bahan tumbuhan dan haiwan yang diperlukan untuk membuat sesuatu ubat bagi merawat pelbagai jenis penyakit yang disebabkan oleh faktor fizikal atau spiritual. Tumbuh-tumbuhan ini mudah didapati di sekeliling rumah dan sering menjadi perisa dan perencah makanan (seperti kunyit, daun limau purut, cekur, daun pandan, daun kari dan halia) ataupun sebagai ubat dan perhiasan halaman rumah. Selain itu, bawang merah misalnya digunakan bagi merawat luka, halia dan bawang putih digunakan untuk membuang angin dan cekur dipercayai mampu menguruskan badan. Namun, setiap bahan tersebut perlu dicampur dengan ramuan lain bertujuan menambahkan keberkesanan penggunaannya. Sehubungan dengan itu, terdapat beberapa cara bagi menyediakan ramuan ubat daripada tumbuh-tumbuhan seperti direbus, celur, perah, uli, sagat, goreng, tumbuk, jemur, layur, rendam, bakar, rendang, tanak, salai, keringkan, basahkan, peram, bakar, dan ramas adalah antara kaedah biasa penyediaan ramuan ubat bagi tumbuhan. Manakala, cara-cara penggunaannya pula seperti sapu, gosok, titis, demah, tuam, balut, tampal, tepek, urut, makan, minum dan mandi. Antara bahagian tumbuhan yang sering digunakan sebagai ubat atau ramuan ubat terdiri daripada daun, bunga, akar, batang, kulit biji, biji, kulit kayu, buah, air atau jus buah, akar tunjang, akar rerambut, selaput buah, duri, getah, sabut, isi, isi rong dan hampas buah. Setiap bahagian ini pula memiliki khasiatnya yang tersendiri sebagai ubat atau penawar penyakit. Selain flora, fauna juga turut dijadikan ramuan dan penawar kepada penyakit tertentu. Namun begitu penggunaannya terbatas kepada bahagian tertentu yang terdapat pada tubuh sesuatu haiwan. Misalnya bulu tarwilu cina digunakan untuk menahan darah pada luka, tanduk rusa dan tanduk kambing untuk merawat demam dan sakit kepala, hempedu ayam, hempedu lembu, dan hempedu kambing jantan untuk kekuatan syahwat. Namun begitu bahan-bahan tersebut juga perlu disesuaikan dengan ramuan lain bagi memperlihatkan kemujarabannya. Antara bahagian fauna atau haiwan yang digunakan untuk tujuan rawatan seperti darah, hempedu, tanduk dan tulang yang digunakan dengan campuran bahan lain dipercayai mampu mengubati penyakit yang dialami manusia. Justeru itu, penulisan ini akan membincangkan khasiat flora dan fauna yang dipaparkan dalam Mujarabat Melayu sebagai alternatif rawatan bagi sesuatu penyakit yang menimpa manusia.
Deskripsi Antropologi Medis: Manfaat Binatang dalam Tradisi Pengobatan
Authors: Sudardi Bani
Published: December 2024

Artikel ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan model pengobatan yang memanfaatkan binatang (animal medicine) yang terdapat dalam tradisi Jawa, khususnya Jawa pedalaman di sekitar Surakarta dan mengkategorikan model-model tersebut ke dalam kerangka teoretis antropologi medis, baik dengan model personalitik maupun model naturalistik. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini ialah metode penelitian kualitatif dan bersifat deskriptif dengan model analisis interaktif. Penulis menyimpulkan bahwa dalam tradisi pengobatan dengan menggunakan hewan di dalam masyarakat Jawa digunakan berbagai jenis hewan yang terdapat di sekitarnya. Tradisi tersebut kemungkinan sudah berlangsung dari generasi ke generasi. Hal tersebut dapat dibuktikan dengan terangkumnya resep-resep tersebut di dalam kitab primbon yang berasal dari ratusan tahun silam.Â  Beberapa tradisi kemungkinan berasal dari luar budaya Jawa yang masuk ke dalam tradsi Jawa seiring dengan pergaulan masyarakata Jawa dengan masyarakat lainnya. Sebagaimisal pengobatan dengan hati unta, kadal Mesir, dan ramuan kobra. Penggunaan hewan dari masa lalu sebagian juga sudah tidak dikenal lagi seiring dengan punahnya hewan tertentu.
Warisan Intelektual bidang Pengobatan Tradisional dalam Naskah Racikan Boreh Saha Parem karya ISKS Pakoeboewono IX sebagai Peninggalan Leluhur
Authors: Supardjo Supardjo , Sudarsini Sudarsini
Published: December 2024

Hingga dewasa ini masyarakat masih mengakui peranan obat tradisional dan masih mempertahankan serta mengembangkannya. Oleh karena itu dalam rangka peningkatan dan pemerataan pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat, obat tradisional perlu dimanfaatkan sebaik-baiknya dan dikembangkan agar lebih berdaya guna dan berhasil guna. Obat tradisional yang merupakan hasil karya nenek moyang bangsa Indonesia memiliki fungsi sosial yakni sebagai penunjang pemeliharaan dan peningkatan kesehatan masyarakat. Masyarakat akan merasa aman dalam menggunakannya dan akan lebih percaya atas khasiatnya bila dilakukan pemantauan terhadap efek samping dari pemakaiannya. Hal tersebut menjadi tugas bagi pemerintah, produsen, ilmuwan obat, dan konsumen. Tulisan ini mengidentifikasi dan membahas ramuan boreh saha parem serta pemanfaatannya terhadap naskah Jawa. karya ISKS Pakoeboewono IX dengan judul Racikan Boreh saha Parem no katalog 37 koleksi Perpustakaan Museum Radya Pustaka. Naskah ini hanya memuat jenis pengobatan luar saja yakni sebanyak 47 macam ramuan boreh, dan 34 macam ramuan parem. Pada awalnya pengobatan tersebut dibuat hanya untuk kalangan kraton khususnya untuk putri-putri kraton. Ramuan tersebut perlu dirahasiakan agar kecantikannya tidak mudah ditiru, dan dimiliki oleh orang awam sehingga mendukung kedudukannya sebagai kalangan orang atas. Pengukuran atau penentuan dosis secara tradisional dilakukan dengan cara kira-kira, misalnya sejimpit, sanyari, sakuwik, sagegem, sacowok, saduman, sathithik, dan sebagainya. Jadi sulit untuk dimengerti dan untuk menentukan ukuran yang tepat. Walaupun para peramu yang sudah terbiasa dengan pekerjaan tersebut seolah tangannya sudah dapat mengukur dengan sendirinya seperti seorang ibu yang sedang membuat bumbu masakan. Tetapi untuk mencapai hasil yang lebih baik, aman, dan tingkat yang lebih luas pemasarannya maka perlu dibuat standarisasi.

The terms “Cold War” and “Second Cold War” in the light of contemporary socio-humanities: an encyclopedic perspective
Authors: Yas Oleksii
Published: December 2024

This article explores the evolving meanings of the terms "Cold War" and "Second/New Cold War" within contemporary socio-humanities. It argues that the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war has introduced new cognitive challenges and issues, necessitating a rethinking of historical experience and a revival of traditional research strategies. This war has also led to a new global confrontation, with many countries indirectly involved. The term “Second Cold War” has become a prevalent descriptor for this global conflict, representing an attempt to extrapolate the bipolar confrontation of 1946–1989 to the present day. The article emphasizes that the term “Second Cold War” reflects a distinctive socio-humanitarian trend in which modern militarized realities are perceived as a “return of history” to the global and "post-historical" world. However, the term "Second/New Cold War" remains a derivative concept with vague content, generating various interpretations in different studies. The author suggests that the secondary nature of this term complicates its representation in traditional, paper-based encyclopedias and dictionaries. Given the rapid evolution of its meaning and usage, frequent updates to encyclopedia entries are necessary. Furthermore, the contemporary cognitive landscape of extreme militarized modernity encourages the expansion of online resources within the framework of national (Ukrainian) encyclopedism.

How URAT1 inhibitors can shape the future of chronic gout treatment: a narrative review of uricosurics past and present
Authors: Keenan Robert T. , Shen Zancong , Yan Shunqi , Yeh Li-Tain , Pillinger Michael H.
Published: December 2024

Gout is a common inflammatory arthritis preceded by chronically elevated levels of serum urate. In addition to leading to gouty flares, hyperuricemia can result in stone-like deposits of monosodium urate crystals (tophi) being deposited in joints and soft tissue, where they cause severe pain and damage. Although gout is an ancient disease with a well-characterized etiology, its treatment landscape has not kept pace with that of other rheumatic conditions. Therapy centers on lowering serum urate concentrations, with urate-lowering drugs falling into three categories: xanthine oxidase inhibitors (e.g., allopurinol, febuxostat) that reduce urate production by blocking the conversion of hypoxanthine to uric acid; uricosurics [primarily urate transporter-1 (URAT1) inhibitors, including probenecid, lesinurad] that promote the renal excretion of urate; and recombinant uricases (e.g., pegloticase) that convert uric acid to allantoin (a water-soluble compound that is more readily excreted). Some treatments have been available for decades, but are often limited by toxicities, primarily relating to the liver and kidneys. Recent research has focused on developing more potent and specific URAT1 inhibitors in the hope that these safety concerns can be overcome, and that better tolerated, more effective therapies can be made available. Newer uricosurics have different chemical structures from their predecessors, resulting in greater URAT1 selectivity in order to reduce off-target effects. Several of these have shown promising results in clinical trials and could prove to be viable alternatives to suboptimal existing therapies. Indeed, newer generation uricosurics may have the potential to become viable therapies in indications other than gout, such as some metabolic diseases. In this narrative review, we discuss the position of uricosurics (primarily URAT1 inhibitors) in the landscape of chronic gout treatment of the past, present, and future.
ESG Concept in the Condition of Municipalities: The Case Study of Beskydy Region
Authors: Matviaková Natália
Published: December 2024

In today’s world, sustainability is discussed in several fields. It is not only applied to enterprises in the business environment but also at the level of the country, even at the local management level. It is investigated as an important aspect in the effort to increase the efficiency of small control units in the field of management. Cities, municipalities, and communities themselves play a very important role in the effort to increase efficiency and achieve sustainability. In addition, a sustainable public sector means an even better quality of life for the citizens because of the higher interest of the local management in the surroundings. This paper provides insight into the investigation of sustainability in the conditions of municipalities, where the analyses focus on a new possible use of ESG criteria as an indicator of sustainability in municipalities and their local management. In this article, we look at municipalities like on social business, where the municipalities also try to reach the satisfaction of their “suppliers” and “employees” (inhabitants and tourists). Through synthesis, comparison, and financial analysis, the article brings out ESG criteria for municipalities, then applies the ESG ratings and latter select municipalities into rating groups. In the end, this article brings suggestions for improving ESG in municipalities and some brief mentions about future research. This article is a revised version of the author’s 2023 article.

Authors: Nababan Tongam Sihol , Panjaitan Raya , Panjaitan Ferry , Napitupulu Sungguli
Published: December 2024

This study aims to investigate and prove whether economic growth and the human development index, each of which is influenced by its determinants, have a simultaneous relationship. The data used is secondary data in the form of panel data from North Sumatra Province consisting of 29 districts / cities for the period 2018 - 2022. The analysis method used is simultaneous equation with two stages least square. The study results show that the variables that have a positive and significant effect on economic growth are the output value variable of large and medium industries and the labor force participation rate variable, while the employment opportunity variable has a negative and significant effect on economic growth. The variables that have a positive and significant effect on the human development index variable are the per capita income variable and the life expectancy variable. However, the economic growth variable has a negative and significant effect on the human development index. By using two stages least square analysis, it is found that economic growth does not have a simultaneous relationship with the human development index variable.

Diaconal workers’ views on the effectiveness of diaconal work
The purpose of this study is to establish how diaconal workers in Finnish Evangelical Lutheran parishes perceive the effectiveness of their work, and the factors that contribute to the perceived effectiveness. The data were collected through participant observation and a survey providing both quantitative and qualitative data. Effectiveness means that the goals of the activity are achieved. The core goal of diaconal work is to help people who are in the greatest need, but the survey results indicate that is not always achieved. The findings highlight the difficulties in addressing people's problems. The study suggests that prioritizing goals would better enable evaluation of effectiveness, while stronger links to the health care system would enable diaconal work to do more to promote mental health.

A UG-based exploration of children’s use of the
Authors: Harrigan Kaitlyn , Srinivas Sadhwi , Kim Chloe , Summers Josie
Published: December 2024

English-learning-children have been shown to use “the” in a non-adult-like manner, to refer not only to discourse-old referents but also to discourse-new ones in many contexts. Here, we explore a novel semantic hypothesis for this acquisition observation, whereby the distribution of “the” in children’s speech is a result of their semantic representation for this item being identical to bare nominals in so-called article-less languages. This hypothesis predicts that children must overuse “the” only in those contexts where article-less languages independently license bare nouns, and not elsewhere. Across two experiments, we utilized a free production task where participants filled in missing NPs in children’s stories. The results were found to be overall consistent with our hypothesis, though there are some alternative interpretations to be further explored in future work.

THE EFFECT OF KUCHALA (Arum korolkowii Regel, 1873) TUBER TINCTURE TO INCREASE OF THE SERUM TESTOSTERONE IN THE ADULT MALE GUINEA PIGS (Cavia porcellus Linnaeus, 1758)
Authors: Aldayarov Nurbek , Tulobaev Askarbek
Published: December 2024

Background: Kuchala (Arum korolkowii Regel) is a medicinal plant commonly used in folk medicine among the Kyrgyz people. The tuber tincture of kuchala is traditionally used in small doses to enhance human sexual potency. However, there is no scientific evidence supporting these medicinal effects. Therefore, we decided to study the effect of kuchala tuber tincture on the sexual potency of adult male guinea pigs.
Methods: We investigated the effect of kuchala on 12 male guinea pigs, each approximately 48 months old. A 10% tuber tincture of kuchala in 70% ethanol was prepared and administered orally at a daily dose of 150 µl for 30 days. The study employed ethological, hematological, serum biochemistry, gross anatomical, histological, and statistical methods to collect and analyze the data.
Results: The hematological and serum biochemistry parameters showed significant differences between the control and experimental groups. In the experimental group, the percentage of neutrophils was significantly lower (dр < 0.001) than in the control group, while lymphocyte counts were significantly higher (dр < 0.001). Additionally, RBC counts, hemoglobin (Hgb), hematocrit (Hct), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were all significantly higher in the experimental group (dр < 0.001; dр < 0.001; cр < 0.01; dр < 0.001; dр < 0.001, respectively) compared to the control group. Conversely, the color indicator and mean platelet volume were higher (bр < 0.05) and significantly higher (dр < 0.001) in the control group than in the experimental group. The levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) were lower in the experimental group than in the control group (both dр < 0.001). Notably, the serum testosterone concentration was much higher (dр < 0.001) in the experimental group. Microscopic examination revealed minor structural damage in the liver tissue of the experimental group, indicating a metabolic disorder. However, the testes in the experimental group showed an improvement in spermatogenesis compared to the control group, suggesting a positive effect on reproductive health.
Conclusion: The 10% kuchala tuber tincture in 70% ethanol has a positive effect on improving the sexual potency of older guinea pigs by increasing testosterone production and enhancing spermatogenesis.
Advancements in 3D in vitro Cell Culture Systems: Enhancing Drug Pharmacokinetics and Toxicity Assessment in Pharmaceutical Development
Authors: Bayraktaroğlu Kübranur , Bal Enes , Rencuzoğulları Özge
Published: December 2024

The development and screening of pharmaceuticals encounter significant predictive inaccuracies when transitioning from animal models to human trials, primarily due to interspecies differences in drug metabolism and effects. Traditional 2D and animal models, although fundamental in early drug development stages, often do not accurately reflect human physiological responses, leading to high attrition rates in clinical phases. This review highlights the emerging role of three dimensional (3D) in vitro models, including organoids and tissue chips, as more predictive and ethically favorable alternatives. These models mimic human physiological and pathophysiological conditions more closely, providing an enhanced platform for drug pharmacokinetics and toxicity assessment. Although there are some disadvantages, innovations in scaffold-based and scaffold-free 3D cultures, bioprinting techniques, and organ-on-chip technologies not only address the limitations of traditional models but also offer profound insights into complex tissue dynamics and drug behaviors. This paper discusses the significant advances in 3D in vitro technologies that promise to refine predictive accuracy, reduce reliance on animal testing, and streamline the pharmaceutical development pipeline.

Published: December 2024

O Plano de Desenvolvimento da Escola (PDE-Escola) do Ministério da Educação (MEC) tem como propósito a melhoria da qualidade do ensino e na gestão escolar, priorizando as escolas públicas do ensino fundamental com indicadores menores que a média nacional – por meio do Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (Ideb) do Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (Inep) do MEC. Este artigo objetiva avaliar os efeitos desse programa nos escores dos testes de matemática e língua portuguesa da Prova Brasil, no período 2009-2015, das escolas beneficiadas, por meio de regressão descontínua (regression discontinuity design – RDD). Os resultados indicam que o programa não teve efeito satisfatório no desempenho dos alunos pertencentes às escolas tratadas. Em geral, não foram encontrados efeitos significativos nas proficiências de português e matemática. Também foram observados efeitos heterogêneos por nível de proficiência e nível de experiência dos diretores. Em função desses resultados, pode-se inferir que as práticas de gestão escolar, introduzidas pelo PDE-Escola, não causaram melhoria nos resultados escolares dos discentes.
Failure to discharge. A discussion of the insufficient legal recourse afforded to judgment debtors in the South African context
Authors: Van der Merwe SJH
Published: December 2024

University Legal Aid Clinics are often confronted with aspects of the law which are quite alien to those faced by our colleagues in private practice. One such area is that of assisting judgment debtors who have fallen afoul of disreputable and often immoral money lenders and other judgment creditors. These creditors unilaterally charge exuberant and unlawful fees for interest and 'legal' costs, where amounts are simply added to the judgments expost facto. The issue of discharge then becomes hugely problematic as the courts do not mero motu step in to cancel emoluments attachment orders and other tools of collection employed by these creditors. It is argued that the South African legal system, including legislation in this regard, lends insufficient protection and recourse to indigent legal aid clients faced with this situation.

By GG 48188, dated 10 March 2023, the Minister of Finance (hereafter, the Minister) repealed the rules published in GG 37819, dated 11 July 2014 (hereafter, the old rules). In accordance with sec. 103 of the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 (hereafter, the TAA), the Minister published 68 new rules (hereafter, the new rules) which came into immediate effect. They delineate procedures for the efficient resolution of disputes occurring within the framework of secs. 101 to 150 of the TAA. Rules 13 to 25 deal with alternative dispute resolution (hereafter, ADR), a voluntary process undertaken on a without prejudice basis outside the formal litigation mechanisms prescribed by sec. 107(1) of the TAA. The new rules, like the old rules, provide for a forum where ADR can occur through private engagement between taxpayers and the South African Revenue Service (hereafter, SARS), with or without the aid of a facilitator, concerning a dispute subject to a pending appeal lodged under the TAA with the specialist Tax Board or Tax Court. In accordance with the rule of law, taxpayers are entitled to procedurally and substantively fair resolution of tax disputes by way of ADR. However, while the new rules serves as the source of a taxpayer’s entitlement to procedurally fair ADR, it is unclear as to the true source of a taxpayer’s substantive right to a fair ADR process. Is the source the new rules, the TAA, or sec. 34 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (hereafter, the Constitution)? This article argues that sec. 34 cannot be the substantive law source of this right because its provisions, properly construed, apply to dispute resolution in courts, tribunals, and forums performing an adjudicative function after a fair public or private hearing. When ADR occurs through direct engagement between taxpayers and SARS without the aid of facilitators, then disputes are resolved by consensus through discussion and persuasion. Similarly, ADR through facilitated conciliation does not involve adjudication – facilitators make nonbinding recommendations and do not make final decisions on disputed issues of fact and/or law. This article argues that the new rules are not the source of a substantive law right to fair ADR for tax administration purposes. This article shows that a right of this nature is implied into the TAA when its relevant provisions in Chapter 9 are properly interpreted. It is argued that the scope of this right is to be determined by interpreting the new rule 17 and sec. 107(5) of the TAA through the normative spirit of fairness contained in sec. 34 of the Constitution.

Beauty and Brokenness:
The Repair Shop
as a Case Study in Spirituality and Popular Culture
Authors: Graham Elaine
Published: December 2024

The BBC TV series
The Repair Shop
has achieved massive popularity through its combination of traditional craft skills, social history and personal story, brought together in the restoration and repair of everyday objects. Its narratives trace a process ‘from brokenness to beauty’ in which material culture, far from being a distraction from spiritual values and practices, is the vehicle by which the sacredness of the everyday is affirmed. It is suggestive of an incarnational, world-affirming faith that calls humanity to participate in God’s own work of repair and redemption.
Global well-posedness and optimal decay rates for the $ n $-D incompressible Boussinesq equations with fractional dissipation and thermal diffusion
Authors: Wang Xinli , Yu Haiyang , Wu Tianfeng
Published: December 2024

In this paper, $ n $-dimensional incompressible Boussinesq equations with fractional dissipation and thermal diffusion are investigated. Firstly, by applying frequency decomposition, we find that $ \Vert (u, \theta) \Vert _{L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} \rightarrow 0 $, as $ t \rightarrow \infty $. Secondly, by using energy methods, we can show that if the initial data is sufficiently small in $ H^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) $ with s = 1+$ \frac{n}{2}-2\alpha \, (0 < \alpha < 1) $, the global solutions are derived. Furthermore, under the assumption that the initial data $ (u_{0} $, $ \theta_{0}) $ belongs to $ L^{p}($where $ 1\le p < 2) $, using a more advanced frequency decomposition method, we establish optimal decay estimates for the solutions and their higher-order derivatives. Meanwhile, the uniqueness of the system can be obtained. In the case $ \alpha $ = 0, we obtained the regularity and decay estimate of the damped Boussinesq equation in Besov space.
Le parole e le immagini. I Comics Studies, la transmedialità e la paraletteratura
Authors: Rizzi Giorgio Busi , Simone Chiara
Published: December 2024

L’articolo considera il caso del fumetto per proporre tre direzioni da integrare negli studi letterari italiani: problematizzare l’idea di letterarietà, vagliando l’etichetta di graphic novel e il suo innalzamento ad archetipo di “fumetto alto”; sottolineare l’utilità delle prospettive provenienti dalla narratologia transmediale e dai Media Studies per valorizzare appieno la complessità degli oggetti mediali ibridi, superando il dualismo analitico forma/contenuto; integrare metodi e approcci sociologici che evitino giudizi di tipo estetico e valoriale approfondendo, invece, le modalità di interazione tra produzione letteraria “alta” e “bassa”, e di entrambe con il più ampio panorama mediale.
Vers la protection du patrimoine postmoderne
Authors: Couturier Bastien
Published: December 2024

Tandis que le patrimoine moderne, ainsi que les courants architecturaux qui l’ont précédé, bénéficient d’une reconnaissance internationale et de nombreuses mesures de protection patrimoniale par les institutions nationales européennes, l’héritage postmoderne semble être absent des listes de biens nationaux d’intérêt culturel. L’étude menée vise à comparer les édifices postmodernes reconnus et protégés en France, en Italie, en Espagne et au Royaume-Uni, pour comprendre quels freins réglementaires sont susceptibles d’entraver la reconnaissance du patrimoine architectural et la sauvegarde des œuvres postmodernes.
Rhabillez-moi ! Stratégies sur mesure dans la réhabilitation de cinq immeubles de logements postmodernes parisiens
Authors: Correia Julien
Published: December 2024

L’ouvrage Paris Postmoderne paru en 2023 met en lumière la quantité d’édifices parisiens souvent visibles mais généralement méconnus de cette période des années 1973-1993. En proposant cet inventaire, Jean-Louis Violeau invite à réfléchir au devenir de cet héritage bâti. Quantité d’entre eux sont des immeubles d’habitations qui font aujourd’hui l’objet d’une campagne de réhabilitation visant généralement à résoudre une problématique thermique par une intervention systématisée sur l’enveloppe. L’amélioration des performances thermiques, du confort et des usages consistant en la rénovation des parties communes et des pièces humides peut éventuellement faire partie des cahiers des charges. Les problématiques posées par ce type de programme sont multiples : elles mêlent à la foi le positionnement théorique et technique à des questions de dessin et de la matérialité des façades. Elles interrogent en outre la décision unilatérale de cette seule  mais cependant imposée  intervention sur l’enveloppe en prenant en compte d’autres composantes des édifices (structure, composition du logement, etc.), le plus souvent absentes de la question programmatique posée.Le langage formel varié et le foisonnement de détails tendant parfois à la surcomplexification d’immeubles au demeurant simples et à vocation ordinaire sont aujourd’hui mis en crise par la nécessité d’isoler thermiquement ces édifices, tout en garantissant leur pérennité d’usage et leur caractère. Cet article propose une analyse réflexive sur la pratique de l’agence d’architecture parisienne de Jean-Marin et asssocié.es à partir de cinq cas d’études : l’immeuble d’angle du 31, rue des Malmaisons, celui des 97-105, rue de la Jonquière, l’ensemble du 11, rue Duris, la cour du Liégat et l’ensemble des Hautes-Formes. Au gré des projets, dont les premières étapes de réflexion remontent à 2016, les réponses s’adaptent. Il s’agit alors d’interroger l’acculturation de l’agence à l’architecture postmoderne autant que l’émergence implicite d’une méthodologie de projet.
Reusing Postmodern Heritage: How Literary Theories Can Help
Authors: Coq Maxime , Houbart Claudine
Published: December 2024

With the resurgence of interest in postmodern architecture and the need to preserve its built heritage, the challenge arises of effectively updating postmodern buildings without compromising their architectural values. Drawing on examples such as the Hood Museum of Art’s transformation and expansion, this paper highlights the pitfalls of misunderstanding postmodern architecture and proposes a novel approach utilizing literary theories to navigate the complexities of postmodern language. Specifically, the paper delves into the concepts of intertextuality and hypertextuality, derived from Gerard Genette's literary theory, as well as isotopy and allotopy, defined by Algirdas Julien Greimas in the 1960s. These are applied to unravel the subtle nuances of postmodern architectural references, hints, and allusions across a range of examples. By using literary theories as analytical tools, this paper advocates for a deeper understanding of postmodern architecture and suggests that mastering its language is essential for effective engagement and for shaping future interventions.
Foucault et le scandale de l’expertise
Authors: Lamy Jérôme
Published: December 2024

Michel Foucault s’est intéressé à l’expertise médicale de façon discontinue. Cependant, en rassemblant les fragments d’interprétation laissés dans son œuvre, il est possible de reconstituer une logique historique du déploiement de l’expertise. En prenant appui sur la notion de scandale – cette capacité à heurter les valeurs morales d’une époque – cet article propose de singulariser la philosophie de l’expertise telle que Michel Foucault l’a conçue. Dans l’Histoire de la folie à l’âge classique, l’expertise est décrite dans son congédiement le plus immédiat : la crainte du scandale motive le besoin de la discrétion. Le cours sur Les Anormaux au Collège de France propose d’analyser l’expertise au xixe siècle comme un possible renversement : publicisée, l’expertise médicale se défait de ses appuis épistémologiques pour se muer en rapport moral sur les conduites. Ce faisant, les experts suscitent le scandale en dénonçant les irrégularités d’un comportement que la loi condamne et la société réprouve. Enfin, dans La volonté de savoir, Foucault spécifie cette place scandaleuse de l’expertise en étudiant la façon dont le discours bavard sur le sexe a été conçu comme un moyen de produire des normes éthiques.
Stratégies médicales de mise en (in)visibilité des médecins DIM
Authors: Assailly Laurène , Thomas Fanny
Published: December 2024

Si la fonction principale des Départements d’information médicale (DIM) est officiellement de rendre visible le produit hospitalier à des fins gestionnaires, notamment de tarification à l’activité, les autrices explorent l’hypothèse selon laquelle le travail des médecins DIM relève également de stratégies médicales de mise en (in)visibilité du travail et des actions des soignant·e·s. Rendre visible l’activité clinique, tout en évitant que les données n’échappent au contrôle des médecins, repose sur un équilibre subtil entre donner à voir ce qui compte pour valoriser la clinique et invisibiliser le processus de fabrication des données pour limiter l’orientation gestionnaire de leurs usages et protéger le secret médical. Ce travail ancre les médecins sans patient·e·s du DIM, dont l’extériorité à la clinique fragilise l’identité professionnelle, dans le champ médical.
