Anarchives – Differential Moments of Affirmation through Revolutionary Love
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania (laura.ilea@ubbcluj.ro), Ilea Laura T.
Published: December 2021

"In order to counter the idea that there is no way out of the grand narratives of separation between the Western, dominant modes of production of knowledge, art and politics and the opposing ones, anchored either in the movements of liberation of the Third World or in the transition from the ex-Communist to a global capitalist model, I propose a type of practice that I call revolutionary love. This practice may generate a space of “differential consciousness” (Sandoval), related to a space of “relational matrices,” which involves discord and dissension, “adventitious growth,” and “surplus movements” (Massumi). Revolutionary love is poetically transcribed in the micropolitical gestures of anarchives – a toxic input that can free desire from the imperceptible repressions it is obeying."
Collective Imaginaries and National Identities: The Encyclopedia of Romanian Imaginaries
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania (corinbraga@yahoo.com), Braga Corin
Published: December 2021

"This paper presents how The Encyclopaedia of Romanian Imaginaries. Historical Patrimony and Cultural-Linguistic Identities (Polirom Editing House, 2020) reflects the Romanian cultural identity. The five volumes provide a synoptic perspective on the cultural inheritance and spiritual identities of Romania. Guided by the powerful and innovative concept of social and cultural imaginaries, it uses multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary methodologies in order to highlight the main domains of Romanian collective representations. The scientific key concepts, which ensure the originality of the approach, are imagination studies (“recherches sur l’imaginaire”), semantic basins, linguistic fields, image constellations, and fractal identity."
The Armenian Model (The Epic Narrative of Franz Werfel and Armenian Identity)
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania (ruxces@yahoo.com), Cesereanu Ruxandra
Published: December 2021

"This essay analyses the novel The Forty Days of Musa Dagh by Franz Werfel through the lens of rediscovering the Armenian identity, both individually and collectively. Does a people have the right, through its political (and religious) leaders, to decide to exterminate another people? This is the acute problem raised by Franz Werfel’s novel, which is simultaneously a political, sociological, psychohistorical, anthropological and ethical novel."
Fragmented Selves, Healing Visions
Authors:   University of Bucharest, Romania (p_catrinel@yahoo.com, Popa Catrinel ,   catrinel.popa@litere.unibuc.ro)
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this paper is to analyse two experimental “novels of the self”, written by two of the most innovative Jewish-Romanian writers of the ’30s: Max Blecher and H. Bonciu, stressing on those aspects they have in common with the mainstream of the twentieth-century Western literature. In both authors, inward disquietude is experienced as outward atmosphere, submerging the world in indefinable strangeness and mystery. In this context, the concept of “inner exile” and “fragmented self” may prove useful in defining the particular status of the narrators’perspective, as well as their relationship with the world (objects, settings, invisible traps, “sickly” or “healing” spaces).
Réécritures contemporaines autour de la notion identitaire : vers l’hypernarcissisme ?
Authors:   Universidad de Granada, España (mmontoro@ugr.es), Montoro Araque Mercedes
Published: December 2021

"Since Socrates famously stated “Know yourself”, the term identity has been redefined on multiple occasions and from different perspectives. The contemporary and postmodern era provides interesting nuances based on notions such as “dynamic rooting” (Maffesoli), “hominescence” (Michel Serres), or “personalization”, “desubstantialization”, and “hypernarcissism” (Lipovestky). In the light of a figure such as that of Narcissus, which emerges without taboos in the “era of emptiness”, I will address the notion of identity in the fictional work of two French authors, namely Sylvie Germain and Laurent Gaudé."
Le soi dans le silence de la mort de l’autre : les Deuils cannibales et mélancoliques de Catherine Mavrikakis
Authors:   Indiana University, USA (crisrobu@indiana.edu), Robu Cristina
Published: December 2021

"When the narrator of Catherine Mavrikakis’ novel A Cannibal and Melancholy Mourning (2000) learns of the consecutive passings of several of her close friends, she transforms this experience into text. In this paper, we analyze Catherine Mavrikakis’s textualization of the ineffable death and loss of the other as a condition of awareness of one’s own finitude. By applying several narratological and theoretical tools to the text, we show how, using the writings but also the life of Hervé Guibert as a hypotext, the narrator articulates her own understanding of death by gathering the multitude of the dead under the banner of a single Hervé."
Lydie Salvayre et Kamel Daoud : « Ma nuit au musée ». S’identifier au miroir de l’art
Authors:   EA LaPRIL CLARE 4593 – Université BordeauxMontaigne, France (aglhermitte2@gmail.com), Lhermitte Agnès
Published: December 2021

"Both Lydie Salvayre and Kamel Daoud, writers foreign by their social and geographical origins to the Parisian art sphere, relate a similar experience: a night spent alone in the museum amid works by Giacometti and Picasso. This confrontation, through unsimilar inner journeys, reveals their skewed, complex and changing identity as socially (split), intimate (traumatized) and artistic (marginal) being. Their identity is revealed through the encounter with the images of paintings and sculptures."
Imaginaire identitaire/identité imaginaire dans Meursault, contre-enquête de Kamel Daoud: question(s) de démêlés…
Authors:   Brasenose College, Oxford University (carole.bourne-taylor@bnc.ox.ac.uk), Bourne-Taylor Carole
Published: December 2021

" Identity is approached from the perspective of the genre of literary counter- investigation, in the wake of Laurent Demanze’s study Un nouvel âge de l’enquête. In post-colonial Algeria, the motif of spectrality is bound up with an imaginary of grief and impossible mourning, typified by Kamel Daoud’s Meursault, contre-enquête. In this context, identity is synonymous with alienation. Like his predecessors Camus and Assia Djebar, Daoud is conducting his own quest for freedom, promoting the relational and ethical value of the imaginary as a universal network of images that counter the narrow enclosure of nationalist and fundamentalist discourse in a fundamentally dynamic encounter with the world and the other."
Le problème de l’identité culturelle dans les romans Tout s’effondre de Chinua Achebe et Un nom pour un autre de Jhumpa Lahiri
Authors:   Institut de Philologie Roumaine « Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu », Chisinau, République de Moldavie (ivanovnadejda1@gmail.com), Ivanova Nadejda
Published: December 2021

The novels Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe and The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri approach an acute and sensitive problem of the effects of colonization and of the self-exiled emigrant man. Each of the protagonists of these two novels expresses an upheaval, an inner cultural conflict. It turns out that their destiny is in a close connection with their images and emotional valences, strongly fed by a collective imaginary, by the deep reality of collective life. Thus, adherence and communication with the archetypal resources of the native community, with the essential that precedes the human condition, proves to be a vital necessity, of overwhelming importance for our protagonists.
“Their Spidery Self”: On Webs of Subject-Object Empathy in Bernardine Evaristo’s Fiction
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania (carmen.borbely@ubbcluj.ro), Borbély Carmen
Published: December 2021

Drawing on the theoretical premises of Anthropocene feminism, new materialist feminism and empathy studies, this paper represents an attempt to explore the mutually constitutive relations conjured in Bernardine Evaristo’s fiction between subjects and the object worlds they inhabit. Focusing on Lara (1997) and Girl, Woman, Other (2019) as examples of “fusion fiction,” the paper explores the ways in which a composite sense of agency is articulated between the human and the nonhuman, shaping what feminist thinkers from Rosi Braidotti to Jane Bennett envision as our posthuman horizons.
Le paradoxe de la mode – entre identité et altérite
Authors:   Université de Pitești, Roumanie (crina_zarnescu@yahoo.fr), Zărnescu Crina-Magdalena
Published: December 2021

"Far from being a simple social phenomenon, without apparent logic, explicable through pre-reflexive mechanisms, fashion is, according to Gilles Lipovetsky, a form fashion, in other words, a socio-cultural mechanism which designates not only competitive rapports between social groups but also dynamics of individual history. It is full of symbols and signs, and it includes a proper vision of the world and makes a hierarchical distinction which leads to self-assertion. Fashion thus goes from appearance to essence. In this perspective, our article tackles the poetic-hermeneutical dimension of fashion as poets and poetry theoreticians such as Baudelaire, Mallarmé or Roland Barthes emphasized in their work."

Authors: Sidorov Anatolii
Published: December 2021

This article discusses the questions associated with the impact of social turbulence and exacerbation regimes upon the society. The topic is viewed in the context of the effect of behavioral deviations upon public administration from the perspective of the need for changing its content in the conditions of escalation of crisis situation. The author verifies the hypotheses on the shift of value orientations of the population from the rational plane to the irrational, as well as the formation of public inquiry for the “strong” state. The article aims to identify the attitude of Tomsk population towards the global and local agenda of rapid processes through assessing their own behavior and appeals to the government institutions on the examples of situations caused by outbreak of coronavirus pandemic and transformation of real estate market in the city. Research methodology employs documentary analysis, formalized interview, statistical data processing, and logical inductive-deductive inference. The article obtains new empirical data related to the behavioral assessment of the population in the conditions of social turbulence and its effect upon the formation of public inquiry. The main result consists in indicating the need for transformation of the system of public administration in the periods with nonlinear dynamics and high speeds in implementation of the policy of strengthening the regulatory impact upon maintaining the spheres most affected by the crisis. The presented materials are valuable for the employees of government and administrative branches, as well as researchers dealing with the problematic of social turbulence.
Social production as economic category
Authors: Bekulova Suzanna Robertinovna
Published: December 2021

The study of social production and the problems of improving its efficiency traditionally hold one of the central places in the economic science. This article analyzes the essence of social production, as well as offers an original definition of social production as economic category. The object of this research is a set of economic ties and processes that are generally important for business entities in the conditions of functionality of the national economy. The subject of this research is the socioeconomic relations that arise in the process of social production and reproduction. Methodological framework is comprised of the fundamentals of systemic and comparative analysis, as well as methods of synthesis, induction and deduction. The scientific novelty lies in formulation of the conceptual approach towards determining the essence of social production as economic category using interdisciplinary analysis of its content within the framework of general sociological, socio-philosophical, and political-economic approaches. The similarities and differences of interpretation of social production in cognate disciplines are established. The author determines that social production is an independent subject of science only for the political economy. The tendencies towards narrowing down, as well as broadening the scope of interpretation of social production are outlined. The reasonableness of its identification with the concepts of “material production” and “direct production” is analyzed. The author provides the original definition of “social production” as economic category.
The JaSpe specializer: BT-objects and the interprocedural aspect of the binding-time analysis algorithm
Authors: Адамович Игорь Алексеевич
Published: December 2021

Статья посвящена частичным вычислениям, использующим offline-стратегию. Мощность этого метода решения задачи специализации программ во многом зависит от анализа времен связывания, который размечает программные конструкции как выполнимые либо невыполнимые на этапе специализации.

Анализ времен связывания может использовать несколько вариантов разметки полей класса, зависящих от их использования в программе. Увеличивая число потенциальных оптимизаций, такая поливариантность по классам позволяет эффективно специализировать большее число программ. Наибольший эффект достигается на объектно/̄ориентированных языках, предполагающих создание большого количества различающихся по  назначению экземпляров класса.

Известные алгоритмы анализа времен связывания расширяются до поливариантности по классам и распространеняются их на объектно/̄ориентированный язык общего назначения. Новые методы реализованы в виде набора плагинов для Eclipse IDE, составляющих специализатор JaSpe для программ на Java.

A novel method of mechanical thrombectomy utilizing a stent retriever device with continuous aspiration prior to intracranial vascular embolectomy technique for acute superior mesenteric artery occlusion: A case report
Authors: Ando Hitoshi , Kaszynski Richard H. , Goto Hideaki
Published: December 2021

Acute superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion resulting from a thrombus formation carries a high mortality risk and therefore immediate diagnosis and treatment are warranted. In recent years, mechanical thrombectomy by interventional radiology has become a viable treatment option if the occlusion has not advanced to intestinal necrosis. We present a rare and interesting case involving a patient with acute SMA occlusion which was completely recanalized by mechanical thrombectomy utilizing a stent retriever device and the continuous aspiration prior to intracranial vascular embolectomy (CAPTIVE) technique. The CAPTIVE technique has become widely adopted in recent years to treat large vessel occlusions in the cerebrovascular region due to thrombi. First, a microcatheter with a microguidewire is advanced through the occlusive thrombus coaxially with an aspiration catheter. Next, a stent retriever is deployed in the thrombotic body and the aspiration catheter is advanced adjacently to the proximal part of the thrombus with strong aspiration until no backflow is present. After checking for backflow from the aspiration catheter, the microcatheter delivering the stent is removed to increase the aspiration force. Finally, the stent retriever and the aspiration catheter are retrieved as a single unit. An 87-year-old female patient with a history of atrial fibrillation (AF), chronic heart failure, aortic valve stenosis, hypertension, type2 diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia was admitted to our hospital complaining of sudden onset upper abdominal pain, vomiting, and watery diarrhea. On arrival, her body temperature was 36.0°C (96.8°F), blood pressure was 131/75 mmHg, heart rate was 115 beats/min with AF rhythm, and her white blood cell count was 18,100 cells/μL. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a contrast defect in the SMA which we later diagnosed as an acute occluding thrombus of the SMA. Initially, we attempted aspiration of the thrombus but were unsuccessful, so we transitioned to mechanical thrombectomy utilizing a stent retriever device with CAPTIVE technique which rapidly and completely recanalized the occluded SMA. After the procedure, the patient’s abdominal pain immediately subsided. Normal stool was observed 2 days after the procedure and oral feeding was subsequently initiated. Twelve days after the procedure, the patient was discharged from the hospital in good health.

Nilai Kemanusiaan dalam Lirik Lagu Ahmad Dhani: Sebuah Analisis Wacana Kritis
Authors: Siddiq Mohammad , Salama Hartini
Published: December 2021

Lirik lagu secara jelas merupakan bagian yang pasti ada dalam setiap kebudayaan, sehingga sebagai teks ia dapat menjadi salah satu cerminan realitas. Di sisi lain, ia juga dapat membentuk kesadaran tertentu bagi masyarakat, sehingga sebagai teks ia mampu membentuk realitas secara khas. Terdapat lirik-lirik lagu dalam musik populer yang terbukti memiliki pengaruh yang bersifat emansipatoris secara sosial. Lirik-lirik lagu tersebut biasanya mengandung ide-ide yang memperjuangkan nilai kemanusiaan. Di Indonesia, jumlah seniman musik yang telah terjun ke industri musik mungkin tidak terhitung. Akan tetapi, dari sekian banyak seniman musik, terdapat beberapa musisi yang konsisten menyuarakan ide kemanusiaan melalui lirik-lirik lagunya dan memiliki daya tawar yang tinggi di industri musik sehingga tetap mampu menampilkan idealismenya di tengah arus komersialiasi seni. Salah satunya adalah Ahmad Dhani. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap pesan kemanusiaan dalam lirik lagu Ahmad Dhani. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan kerangka analisis wacana kritis model N. Fairclough. Data penelitian ini adalah teks lagu Ahmad Dhani yang terbit dari 1992 sampai 2020. Lirik lagu Ahmad Dhani dianalisis berdasarkan pada tiga dimensi yaitu dimensi tekstual yang meliputi aspek linguistik dan intertekstualitas teks, dimensi praktik diskursif yang meliputi aspek produksi dan konsumsi teks, dan dimensi praktik sosial, yaitu dengan melihat pengemukaan nilai kemanusiaan sebagai sebentuk tindakan sosial, dan memahami kaitannya dengan aspek situasional, institusional, dan sosial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai kemanusiaan yang terkandung dalam lirik lagu Ahmad Dhani diekspresikan dalam tema percintaan, nasionalisme, kritik sosial politik, dan spiritual religius. Pesan kemanusian tersebut disampaikan dalam ungkapan yang lugas dan metaforik. Secara praktik diskursif, lirik lagu dengan tema-tema kemanusian yang dikarang Ahmad Dhani tetap mendapat fasilitas dari industri musik yang lazimnya didominasi oleh tema-tema percintaan. Sebaliknya, dengan membicarakan nilai kemanusiaan yang lebih luas melalui lagu dengan beragam tema, Ahmad Dhani dapat memperlebar jalur distribusi untuk memungkinkan lagunya dapat diterima secara lebih luas.
HINDU COSMOLOGY IN THE LIGHT OF MODERN PSYCHOLOG
Authors: JHUNJHUNWALA Bharat
Published: December 2021

This paper tries to comprehend Hindu narrative of creation in the framework of modern cosmology and psychology. The objective is to build a conversation for mutual understanding. The following concordance between the two streams is suggested. The state of the Primeval Being before It desired to become many is not known in the Hindu stream just as the state of the universe before the Big Bang is not known in the modern stream. The Primeval Being desired to grow according to the Hindu stream. Modern psychology says there is an innate desire to grow among human beings that we extrapolate backwards to suggest that the Singularity desired to grow. The Brahman pervades the entire Universe according to the Hindu stream. The panpsychists hold that every particle in the universe has consciousness. Brahman is the fused consciousness of all the particles in the universe according to the Hindu stream. In parallel the panpsychists hold that the fused consciousness is more than the sum of the parts. The collective consciousness of a subset of the universe is “devta” according to the Hindu stream. This concords with the “unconscious substrate” created in social organizations according to modern psychology. The collective consciousness of individuals having their consciousness at the Vishuddhi, Manipur and Anahata chakras is known as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. These concord with the collective consciousness of individuals who have evolved to the needs of cognition, belonging and esteem according to Abraham Maslow. The devtas can descend into a living person who is then called an avatara. This concords with the descent of the libido into the unconscious as said by Carl G. Jung. In conclusion, Hindu Brahman is modern God. Hindu devtas are modern gods. Hindu avataras are modern individuals in whom the gods have descended. In this way we can make the Hindu cosmology understandable to the modern mind and vice versa.
YOLO Algorithm for Detecting People in Social Distancing System

Social distancing is an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Several systems for monitoring social distancing have been developed. People detection is an essential step in implementing a social distancing system. Failure to detect people causes the social distancing system to be inaccurate. Two people who communicate cannot occur violations of social distancing because one person is not detected. Therefore, we propose a precise person detection method for the social distancing system. The proposed social distancing system uses the YOLOv3 method for people detection and Euclidean Distance for measuring the distance of social distancing. YOLOv3 can detect people's objects precisely, even people who are caught small by the camera. Experiments on two outdoor video datasets result in an F1 value of more than 0.8. This proposed system can serve as a reference for future social distancing research.
Nacre Shell Inspired Self Assembly of Graphene Oxide-Lipid Nanocomposites

Published: December 2021

Nanoscale graphene oxide-lipid composites have shown wide applications in the field of biosensing and nanosafety. Macroscopic free-standing membranes of this combination potentially offer excellent mechanical properties which can be attributed to the inherent strength of graphene oxide(GO). Previous experimental studies have mostly dealt with monolayer or bilayer interactions of lipids with graphene and graphene oxide surfaces. In our study, we report for the first time, a simple and scalable fabrication method where Small Unilamellar Vesicles (SUVs) of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine(DOPC) combine with graphene oxide to produce stable nanocomposites via self-assembly. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images of the composite revealed layer-by-layer structures, reconfirmed by X-Ray Diffraction(XRD) results which show a proportional increase in the interlayer separation with an increasing ratio of lipid in graphene oxide. The nanocomposite thus fabricated mimics naturally occurring nacre shell structures where graphene oxide substitutes the strong aragonite layers, and the intermediate lipid layers provide the necessary elasticity pertaining to protein chitin in nacre. The addition of lipids to graphene-based nanocomposites also serves as a biodegradable alternative to using polymers as a popular reinforcement agent. The ease of fabrication method reported facilitates the production of stable GO-Lipid membranes in variable scales and geometries.
