Contribuții la bibliografia lui Vladimir Streinu
Authors:   Institutul de Istorie și Teorie Literară „G. Călinescu”, Ciocârlie Alexandra
Published: January 2024

We publish in this issue eleven articles by Vladimir Streinu, which were not selected by the editor George Muntean in the postumuous 3 volumes collection entitled Pagini de critică literară (Pages of Literary Criticism), published in 1974, 1976 and respectively in 1976. Two of them were found in “Semnalul” (“The Signal”) newspaper, in 1946. The other nine were discovered in “Dreptatea” (“The Righteousness”), the main daily journal of the National Peasant Party led by Iuliu Maniu, in 1947. It is relevant to highlight that these less known texts have ideologic and political coordinates. Vladimir Streinu, a member of the National Peasant Party between 1932 and 1938, displayed real courage returning in the doctrinary battles, although his party had been sabotaged during the elections from 19th of November 1946 and thus did not benefit of any spot in the Deputy Assembly. This situation, which eventually led to the suppression of the National Peasant Party and to the abusive arresting of a series of important figures in July 1947, hints that Vladimir Streinu resisted that time to certain typs of compromises.
De la poezia caldă la poezie rece. O ipoteză pentru substituția inimii cu creierul în teorii ale poeziei de la romantism la modernism
Authors:   Institutul de istorie și teorie literară „G. Călinescu” Academia Română, Dumitru Teodora
Published: January 2024

In this paper I deal with the transition from the romantic-“cardiological” paradigm of poetry interpretation (“poetry of the heart” – “la poésie du cœur”) to a modernist-cerebral perspective on the lyric: a poetry of the brain, of the intellect. The first would be a warm poetry, which achieves its impact by producing “movement” in the reader/ audience based on the high-temperature feelings it expresses; the other works the other way around, emoting by diminishing the “incandescence” and by “cooling” the feelings/ emotions walked through the “retorts” of the intellect (E. Lovinescuʼs metaphor).
Fixarea în ramă „neo-”(modernistă/ realistă) a eșantionului de romancieri reprezentativi pentru „seria” șaptezecistă
Authors:   Universitatea „Lucian Blaga” din Sibiu, Mușat (Stoian) Alina-Roxana
Published: January 2024

The study is part of the doctoral thesis Congruence of space and time in the novels of the 70s which aims to investigate the way in which space and time, respectively time and space interact in the narrative score of the novels of the “neo-” modernist/realist corpus that I selected and exposed to (re)examination. Taking into account the prevailing socio-cultural circumstances throughout the 70s, with the investigation of the chronotopic/ topochronic assemblage, the conjunctures that mark the imprint of the “neo-”realist/- modernist imaginary will be highlighted as it is transposed into the texture of some Romanian categories that I opted and which I subjected to “(re)reading”. One of the urgencies of the study is the (re)view of the cultural-literary phenomenon specific to the “seventies” school in the conditions of unconditional ideological and political access to the reinforcement of the neomodernist canon.
„Nu se poate privi” sau „vino și vezi”? Exitus și Idzi i Hliadzi. un studiu de caz
Authors:   Facultatea de Litere, Universitatea din București, Chereji Carina Iulia
Published: January 2024

What could possibly bring together Adrian Georgescu’s novel Exitus (2017) and Elem Klimov’s film Idzi i Hliadzi (Come and See, U.S.S.R., 1985)? Both texts explore war trauma experienced by underage subjects (Georgescu’s protagonist Milo is an orphan barely surviving in a devastated unnamed land, while Klimov’s hero, Flyora, is a Belarusian adolescent eager to join the Word War II partisans). We rely on Gilles Deleuze’s concept of time-image to investigate the narrative strategies with which the authors aim to represent what, essentially, ”one can’t look at”: children or teenagers as actors-victims of war.
Anton Pann: la repentance d’un débauché – un poème occulté
Authors: Shishmanian Dana
Published: January 2024

We show in this study that a purported edition of a manuscript from 1648 by Paisie Lambru, a monk from the Romanian Skete of Prodromos (Mount Athos), published in Bucharest in 1905, is in fact the reproduction of a forgotten poem belonging to Anton Pann (1790-1854): Pocăinţa omului dezmerdat sau Vorbire între suflet şi trup / The Repentance of the Debauched Man, or Conversation between Soul and Body, which was published by the author in his typography in 1849 and republished just before his death in 1854 (the title in French – La repentance de l’homme débauché, ou Entretien entre l’âme et le corps, versifié et édité par A. Pann – was noted by the romanist Émile Picot, who acquired a copy in Romania in 1885, which has since entered the collections of the BNF). Excluded from all editions of Anton Pann’s works, and therefore unknown even to specialists, this poem is inspired by a body-soul dialogue in prose included in Pensées de M. le Comte Oxenstirn sur divers sujets, avec les Réflexions morales du même auteur (Count Oxenstierna’s Thoughts on Various Subjects, together with the Moral Reflections of the same author), by the Swedish moralist Johan Thuresson, count of Oxenstierna (1666- 1733). Written in French and frequently reprinted for more than a century since its first publication in 1721, this work, stylistically belonging to the late religious baroque, was partially translated into Romanian in the second half of the eighteenth century and had a large influence, including on the great poet Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889), who possessed the oldest manuscript of this translation.

Authors: Le Thi Tuong Vi Le Thi Tuong Vi , Pham Canh Em Pham Canh Em , Truong Ngoc Tuyen Truong Ngoc Tuyen
Published: January 2024

The s-triazine derivatives have been shown to have diverse biological activities, especially anticancer activity. Fifty s-triazine derivatives were screened for anticancer activity through inhibition of VEGFR2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2) by molecular docking method using AutoDock Vina software. Compounds 20 and 40 showed the strongest interactions among all tested compounds with the binding affinity values of -10.8 and -10.5 Kcal/mol, respectively compared to reference drugs Gedatolisib (-9.1 Kcal/mol) and Paclitaxel (-7.8 Kcal/mol) at the active site of VEGFR2. These compounds established one carbon-hydrogen bond at amino acid HIS1026, specifically exhibiting better electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions than the reference drugs Gedatolisib and Paclitaxel. Moreover, compounds 20 and 40 also showed interactions with the VEGFR2 receptor that resemble the reference drug Gedatolisib at amino acids such as ARG1027, ASP1046, and HIS1026. Therefore, these compounds could be a potential lead molecule for anticancer activity.

In the realm of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies, the precision of demand forecasting is essential. The FMCG sector operates in a highly uncertain environment marked by rapid market shifts and changing consumer preferences. To address these challenges, the application of deep learning techniques, particularly Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, has emerged as a vital solution for enhancing forecast accuracy. This research paper focuses on the critical role of demand forecasting in FMCG, emphasizing the need for LSTM-based deep learning models to deal with demand uncertainty and improve predictive outcomes. Through this exploration, we aim to illuminate the link between demand forecasting and advanced deep learning, enabling FMCG companies to thrive in a highly dynamic business landscape.

Authors: Nguyen Thi Hanh Dung Nguyen Thi Hanh Dung
Published: January 2024

South Korean women's images mostly connect with the ideal women's images of “good wives, wise mothers”. However, the number of single women in South Korea population has been increasing significantly in recent years. Various media outlets such as television and newspapers have been mentioning and discussing the lifestyles and mindsets of Korean single women, often using hot keywords such as "Gold Miss", "unmarried single women (Bihon)", and "single women (Mihon)" in both positive and negative contexts. This study aims to explore the most popular and representative characteristics of South Korean single women and figure out the transition of single women's images in the 2000s since the Asian financial crisis in South Korea. Based on literature reviews and newspaper reference sources, this research also aims to find out what people think about the most popular images of South Korean single women nowadays, then summarizes the similarities and differences in the popular images of South Korean unmarried single women described by Korean newspapers's discourse and existing literature reviews.

How should descriptive grammars cover interjections?
Authors: Dingemanse Mark
Published: January 2024

 Interjections are, in Felix Ameka’s memorable formulation, “the universal yet neglected part of speech” (1992). They are rarely the subject of historical, typological or comparative research in linguistics, and as Aimée Lahaussois has shown (2016), they are notably underrepresented in descriptive grammars. As grammars are the main source of data for typologists, this is of course a perfect example of a self-reinforcing feedback loop.

Mechanics of ESL/EFL Writing Performance at the Tertiary Level
Authors: Călinescu Amalia
Published: January 2024

After exploring different theories of teaching and learning ESL/EFL writing, along with successful models of writing courses and instructional methods, this study investigates the internal complexity of ESL/EFL writing at the tertiary level, as well as the contributing factors in students’ writing performance. The characteristics of different types of language learners are identified in conjunction with the plasticity and lateralization of the bilingual brain and the critical period hypothesis. The study also delves into certain biases and heuristics while it analyzes Kahneman’s System 1 and 2 of thinking and various personality theories in order to determine students’ innate abilities to excel in ESL/EFL writing tasks. Furthermore, the paper elucidates the importance of psychological equivalence in the writing process with the help of Pym’s translation theories, and explains students’ interconnectedness through Berne’s transactional analysis and the ego states of each personality. By integrating neuropsychological perspectives with established pedagogical approaches, such as the scaffolding, product, process, genre and grammar-translation techniques, the article offers a holistic framework for educators and policymakers to enhance ESL/EFL writing instruction, and ultimately proposes future research directions for a better understanding of ESL/EFL students’ needs.

Authors: Karkera Shilpa , Devendra Nagadharshan , Lakhani Bhavesh , Manahan Kelly , Geiser John
Published: January 2024

Education is an ever-evolving and active process that requires periodic refinement. The absence of innovative teaching techniques in academics leaves medical curricula inadequate to take significant strides towards the future. The objective of this review is to define and evaluate alternative methods of teaching and learning that can supplement or serve as alternatives to didactic lectures. These methods aim to promote active student involvement and expedite a smooth flow of information. A literature review was conducted using PubMed, OVID and EBSCO, utilizing keywords such as "learning," "didactic lectures," "alternative techniques of learning," "modern learning techniques," and "medical education." Database searches identified 300 studies, with 250 selected for further screening based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Articles were surveyed for relevance and significance to our study objectives, encompassing both qualitative and quantitative studies. Various modern learning methodologies were identified, including Case-Based Learning, Evidence-Based Medicine, Problem-Based Learning, Simulation-Based Learning, e-learning, Peer-Assisted Learning, Observational Learning, Flipped Classroom, and Team-Based Learning. These methods address individual learning differences, allowing students to broaden their thinking and professional knowledge. Early introduction of integrative approaches develops student competency and leadership, preparing them for a seamless transition into clinical practice. This study emphasizes the significance and challenges of modern learning systems. Given technological advancements and the broader implications of medical information, students require innovative skills through inter-professional learning. It is imperative to introduce and implement flexible medical curricula that accommodate distinct modern teaching methodologies to address the evolving needs of medical education.

Published: January 2024

Diferentes estudios sugieren que los abonos orgánicos, p. ej., el vermi compost (VC) y el compost (C), como parte de los sustratos de crecimiento, pueden proporcionar elementos nutritivos y retener humedad, al mismo tiempo que favorecen el desarrollo de las especies vegetales.  Para validar esta suposición, durante el ciclo P-V 2001 se evaluó en invernadero el efecto de la aplicación de diferentes sustratos de crecimiento y diferentes frecuencias de riego en semillas de tomate. Los tratamientos evaluados (T1-T9) fueron tres mezclas: 1) vermicompost + arena (VC: A; 1:1, v: v), 2) compost + arena (C: A; 1:1, v: v) y 3) vermi compost + compost + arena (VC:C: A; 1:1:2, v: v: v), combinadas con tres frecuencias de riego: 1) diario (RD), 2) cada dos días (RC2D) y 3) cada tres días (RC3D). Las semillas se sembraron en charolas de polietileno de 200 cavidades, rellenas con peat moss, que se trasplantaron en bolsas de plástico negro de 18 L, 34 días después de siembra. El experimento duró 144 días después del trasplante. El efecto de los tratamientos sobre el desarrollo del tomate se evaluó considerando las variables:  contenido de sólidos solubles, número de frutos por planta, peso promedio del fruto y rendimiento. Para determinar el efecto de los nueve tratamientos con cuatro repeticiones sobre las variables en estudio, se utilizó un diseño de bloques al azar en parcelas divididas: al par celas grandes les correspondieron las frecuencias de riego y a las chicas las mezclas. Los datos se examinaron estadísticamente por medio de análisis de varianza, y cuando se registraron diferencias significativas, se realizó la comparación de medias con la prueba DMS0.05. El mayor rendimiento se registró en el tratamiento T3 [mezcla (VC:C: A; 1:1:2, v: v: v) con RD], con 14.76 kg m-2, mientras que en los tratamientos T3, T6 y T9 la productividad fue de 17.19, 24.94 y 50.91 kg m-3, respectivamente.

Processing La-139 in the Unresolved Resonance Region for the FENDL Library
Authors: Lopez Aldama Daniel , Capote Noy Roberto
Published: January 2024

The analysis of a numerical benchmark for a pure 1-meter sphere of La-139 proposed by C. Konno using ACE- and MATXS-formatted cross section files from the FENDL-3.1c library showed problems in the unresolved resonance region (URR). The total neutron flux computed using MCNP/ACE differed up to 50% from the one calculated applying ANISN/MATXS. The problem arose when too small total cross section values were sampled by the PURR module of NJOY2016 mainly due to the limitations of the processing method. NJOY2016 (PURR) patch to correct this issue was proposed and applied. The patch increases the neutron flux in the URR for Monte Carlo calculations (4% increase for the ENDF/B-VIII.0 evaluation vs 30% for the FENDL-3.1c evaluation). The corresponding increase of the calculated neutron flux for deterministic codes goes from 15% for the ENDF/B-VIII.0 data up to 50% for the FENDL-3.1c. The agreement between deterministic and Monte Carlo benchmark results was significantly improved. This report documents the NJOY2016 patch and summarizes the main results.
Current regulations for herbal products

Published: January 2024

Officinal plants and their products have great social and economic consequences, and today they are used in four principal sectors: food, cosmetics, health and medicine. The medicinal use of the herbaI drugs, Phytotherapy, is differently controlled in different countries, but with only marginal differences because phytotherapeutic products must possess quality, safety and efficacy. The use of herbs as health foods, as well as food supplements, complicates the formulation of regulations by countries throughout the world. The increasing supply of herbal products to international markets makes it necessary for international organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) to develop standards relative to their commercialization throughout the world. The classification of drugs varies from country to country, with active foods, dietary supplements and traditional medicines being included in certain categories.

Adulteration has led to many mild, moderate, severe adverse reactions in our body. They Can Be Life Threatening as Well. Adulteration Is Done with The Use of Other Crude Drugs Which Consists of Similar Properties. Every country is the victim of misbranded or adulterated drugs, which result in life threatening issues, financial loss of consumer and manufacturer and loss in trust on health system. For minimizing adulterated and misbranding drugs or not of standard quality drugs, there is urgent requirement of more stringent regulation and legal action against the problem. The adulteration and substitution of crude drug is a burning problem. substitution is helpful in places where unavailability of particular crude drug and or unwanted adverse effects of desired crude drug are there and have a choice of other drug with similar pharmacological effect and less unwanted after effects. But in most cases, it is unacceptable because the conversion of authentic drug into substandard drug may cause variety of adverse effects from mild and moderate to severe life threatening reactions. So, understanding of all the ways of adulteration and substitution is necessary to rectify this illegal act and maximizing consumers' safety. However, India has taken some preventive steps in the country to fight against the poor quality of regulatory organization drugs for protecting and promoting the public health.

Published: January 2024

The aim of this study was to formulate solid dosage form of Gemfibrozil and the scope of the study to design of experiment for Gemfibrozil tablet using 600mg using Roll compaction method is to increase the flow of the blend which resolved the die filling problem during compression  and useful for granule flow. Die fill problem is encountered in production batches if the flow of the blend is not optimum. The flow of the blend is related to the characteristics of granules..Gemfibrozil is a waxy, crystalline, hydrophobic material that results in prolongation of disintegration time during storage in stability studies. Because of the fluffy nature of API flow problem was also encountered. Product and process characteristics important to desired performance must be derived from combination of prior knowledge and experimental assessment during product development, which is required to achieve objectives of Quality by Design (QbD). From prior knowledge and experimental data, a multivariate model linking product and process measurements and desired attributes was constructed. Flow of Gemfibrozil blend was improved by addition of colloidal silicone dioxide, selecting microcrystalline cellulose of higher particle size and by producing granules of sufficient strength. Since the major portion of the tablet was Gemfibrozil, the role of particle characteristics was also investigated

Diabetes mellitus is an endocrine disorder that negatively influences about 300 million humans worldwide. Pharmacological activity carried out on Tylophora neglecta's for an antidiabetic activity in Alloxan-induced diabetes in albino mice used to be evaluated with grouping the animals into six organizations (n=6). Intraperitoneal implantation occurred sixteen hours prior to the onset of diabetes. After extensive health testing, alloxan used to set off experimental diabetes in Swiss mice and blood sugar degrees before and after administration of normal, untreated, and diabetic mice. Quantitative techniques of records series and analysis allowed for a thorough evaluation. No detrimental results were considered at oral doses of 2000mg/kg physique weight in the brilliant oral threat reviews of the concentrates. The hypoglycemic and antidiabetic results of Tylophora neglecta aqueous and alcoholic concentrates of 20 and 30mg/kg body weight have been tested. In this study, 72 hours of fasting preceded via a single Intraperitoneal (IP) dose of Alloxan monohydrate resulted in diabetes in animals. The FBGL used to be measured on days 7, 14, and 21, and the OGTT was once performed on days 8, 15, and 22. The outcomes with glibenclamide are quite comparable to the norm. Research has showed that the leaves of Tylophora neglecta have antidiabetic recreation by using merchandising the regeneration of cells accountable for secreting the hormone insulin.

Combination therapy is essential to safeguard existing and future antimalarial drugs, prompting exploration into adjuvant therapies for managing cerebral malaria. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Annona muricata leaves extracted by water (AME) as an adjuvant for Artemi­sinin­-based combination therapy (ACT) in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA (PbA) malaria. The research employed a Post Test Only Control Group Design for the study. A few of 24 Swiss mice were subjected to various treatments, including AME, ACT, and their combination, with a focus on host survival, lymphocyte generation, and migration. Results demonstrated that mice treated with the combination of AME and ACT exhibited significantly reduced parasitemia, and lower percentages of splenic lymphoblasts compared to control groups. Specifically, the mean percentage of splenic lymphoblasts in the AME and ACT combination group was substantially lower than in the control groups and individual treatment groups. Parasitemia levels were significantly reduced in the combination group, emphasizing the synergistic effect of A. muricata and ACT. In conclusion, A. muricata demonstrated a superior impact on parasitemia, and splenic lymphoblasts in malaria mice treated with ACT, highlighting its potential as a valuable adjuvant therapy in the fight against malaria.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease that is characterized by a persistent blockage of airflow from the lungs. Drug utilization studies are also called as prescription pattern monitoring studies (PPMS) primarily concentrate on the prescription, dispensing, and administration of medications. The aim of the study is to optimize the drug therapy for the COPD patients in a multispecialty hospital by analyzing the drug prescribing pattern and by evaluating the drug interaction in the prescriptions. Based on study population, out of 150 patients, males were more susceptible to this disease than female. The average age of patients were found to be 45.73  30.57 years. The cases were analyzed based upon class of drugs prescribed, antibiotics, bronchodilators, antihistamines, mucolytic agent, nasal decongestants and corticosteroids were commonly prescribed. Out of which, 38.2% (n=104) antibiotics and 34.5% (n=94) bronchodilators were most commonly prescribed class of drugs. Clarithromycin, theophylline+ forgyln, montek LC, ambrodil, oxynoz and dexa were the commonly prescribed antibiotics, bronchodilators, antihistamines, mucolytic agents, nasal decongestants and corticosteroids respectively. Nearly 59 patients were given three drugs and 14 patients were given 4 drugs at a time which shows the practice of polypharmacy. The cases were also analysed for drug interaction which shows 32.7% (n=49) of minor, 27.3% (n=41) of monitor closely drug interactions respectively. The findings provide a valuable foundation for refining COPD interventions and highlight the necessity for vigilant monitoring of drug interactions during treatment.

Objective: The prevalence of psychological distress, such as depression and anxiety, is increasing among Kenyans. However, there is a lack of understanding about its prevalence rates among aging people, and we lack culturally standardized and concise tools to measure it. Method: This study utilized a sample of 376 older individuals obtained from three regions in Kenya to investigate the distribution, prevalence, and psychometric properties of a Swahili-translated version of the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6). A significant advantage of the K6 is its capacity to measure various mental health factors despite its conciseness. Results: Distribution assessments reveal that most participants reported high psychological distress scores (13 or above), and women experienced significantly higher rates compared to men. The K6 indicators showed high internal consistency for the sample (alpha =.83). Exploratory factor analysis showed the six items loading to on 1 factor and subsequent confirmatory analysis demonstrated excellent fit (CFI = .95; RMSEA = .03) for the one-factor model. Discussion: The high occurrence of psychological distress among the sample highlights this mental health problem as a potentially urgent area of need in the entire Kenyan population. Factor analysis results suggest that the Swahili-translated K6 is a concise tool with great potential for assessing psychological distress among older Kenyans
