Was there a Sword? On Aristophanes’ Thesmophoriazusae (v. 134–140)
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Stepantsov Sergey A.
Published: September 2022

In the prologue of Aristophanes’ Thesmophoriazusae (134–140) Euripides’ Inlaw after seeing the poet Agathon expresses his bewilderment at the mixture of gender signals emitted by Agathon’s clothes and the objects he is surrounded with. Inlaw enumerates several couples of objects incompatible because of their relatedness to one or another gender: barbitos and saffron gown, lyre and headband, lekythos (an attribute of athletics) and breast band, sword and mirror. In this paper I reconsider commentators’ opinions on the question whether there was indeed a sword among the props visible to the public or the sword was mentioned by Inlaw because it was present in the passage from Aeschylus’ Edonians explicitly parodied in the questions asked by Inlaw. A. Sommestein’s speculation that Agathon needs a sword to get into a male role is rejected as contradicting Agathon’s words in v. 154–155. I also call in question G. Kaibel’s surmise (supported by C. Prato, C. Austin and D. Olson) that the sword was present in the parodied scene of the Edonians because Dionysus was represented in armis there, as a conqueror of new lands. I consider that there are no firm reasons to think that there was a sword among the props of the comedy or that it was mentioned in the parodied tragedy as a thing present in the scene in which Lycurgus interrogated Dionysus. It is more probable that sword (as well as lekythos) is mentioned by Inlaw just as a most typical male thing opposed to typically female mirror. I also suppose that v. 140 “What can a sword and a mirror have in common?” is rather a recast of the anonymous comic aphorism “What can a blind man and a mirror have in common?” (apud Stob. 4.30.6a) than vice versa (whoever the author of this aphorism might be).
Similes in Narrator’s and Characters’ Speech as Traditional Elements of Epic Style (on the Material of Virgil’s “Aeneid”)
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg State University of Veterinary Medicine, Kotova Anastasia V.
Published: September 2022

The article deals with the peculiarities of the functioning of similes in narrator’s and characters’ speech in Virgil’s “Aeneid.” The author of the article demonstrates the relation between the nature of the distribution of similes and the subject of speech, the content of the text and the development of the plot on the basis of quantitative data. As the analysis shows, similes in the narrator’s speech serve to describe and characterize heroes, people, gods, chthonic creatures and phenomena. Similes in the characters’ speech are used in communication with the shadows of the dead, prophetic dreams, prophecies, descriptions of chthonic creatures, as well as for characterizing actions of the opposing sides and individual heroes in the episode of the fall of Troy. The conclusion is that the distribution of similes in the text of the “Aeneid” is not accidental and follows the previous epic tradition: similes prevail in those parts and episodes of the poem in which the description of battles and duels is given, and they are concentrated in the speech of the narrator, in the speech of the characters they are significantly fewer. While preserving the features of continuity with the previous tradition, Virgil’s poem also distinguishes by its fundamental novelty in the creative selection and arrangement of aesthetic speech elements.

Authors: Liu Tianhao , Chen Xi , Yuan Naichang
Published: September 2022

In the real environment, the unstable radar measurement noise can
degrade the tracking performance of the maneuvering target. In this
Letter, the iterative formulation of the noise is simplified, and the
noise-adaptive matrix is introduced to calculate the fading factor of
the strong tracking algorithm, so that the effect of measurement noise
on the fading factor can be corrected in real time. The superior
performance of the proposed method is verified by comparison with three
existing improved methods on a typical example.
Holocaust and the ethics of tourism: Memorial places in narrations of responsibility
Authors: Stojanovic Dragana
Published: September 2022

The issue of Holocaust tourism might be a quite sensitive, but nevertheless
very important topic in the domain of the Holocaust remembrance. As tourism
is often associated with leisure activities, it is quite challenging to put
tourism into darker contexts of history and death. Also, different people
coming to the Holocaust-related places with different motives make the issue
of designing educational tours even more complex. This paper will try to
expose questions related to dark tourism, Holocaust tourism, auratic
memorial places, and to discuss ethical approaches to the Holocaust memory
in the beginning of the 21st century. The text argues for the tourist
experience as a memorable and educational tool with an active
transformational potential, which will turn the visitor into a witness who
further contributes to survival of the legacy of the Holocaust in the
future.

Authors: Hou Wanying , Han Tianshu , Sun Xinyi , Chen Yunyan , Xu Jiaxu , Wang Yu , Yang Xue , Jiang Wenbo , Sun Changhao
Published: September 2022

OBJECTIVE

In this study we investigated the association of the quantity, quality, and timing of carbohydrate intake with all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and diabetes mortality.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This secondary data analysis included use of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2003–2014) and National Death Index data from adults (n = 27,623) for examination of the association of total daily and differences in carbohydrate intake with mortality. Participants were categorized into four carbohydrate intake patterns based on the median values of daily high- and low-quality carbohydrate intake. The differences (Δ) in carbohydrate intake between dinner and breakfast were calculated (Δ = dinner − breakfast). Cox regression models were used.

RESULTS

The participants who consumed more high-quality carbohydrates throughout the day had lower all-cause mortality risk (hazard ratio [HR] 0.88; 95% CI 0.79–0.99), whereas more daily intake of low-quality carbohydrates was related to greater all-cause mortality risk (HR 1.13; 95% CI: 1.01–1.26). Among participants whose daily high- and low-quality carbohydrate intake were both below the median, the participants who consumed more high-quality carbohydrates at dinner had lower CVD (HR 0.70; 95% CI 0.52–0.93) and all-cause mortality (HR 0.82; 95% CI 0.70–0.97) risk; an isocaloric substitution of 1 serving low-quality carbohydrates intake at dinner with high-quality reduced the CVD and all-cause mortality risks by 25% and 19%. There was greater diabetes mortality among the participants who consumed more low-quality carbohydrates at dinner (HR 1.78; 95% CI 1.02–3.11), although their daily high-quality carbohydrate intake was above the median.

CONCLUSIONS

Consuming more low-quality carbohydrates at dinner was associated with greater diabetes mortality, whereas consuming more high-quality carbohydrates at dinner was associated with lower all-cause and CVD mortality irrespective of the total daily quantity and quality of carbohydrates.

Published: September 2022

OBJECTIVE

N-glycosylation is a functional posttranslational modification of immunoglobulins (Igs). We hypothesized that specific IgG N-glycans are associated with incident type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We performed case-cohort studies within the population-based European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)–Potsdam cohort (2,127 in the type 2 diabetes subcohort [741 incident cases]; 2,175 in the CVD subcohort [417 myocardial infarction and stroke cases]). Relative abundances of 24 IgG N-glycan peaks (IgG-GPs) were measured by ultraperformance liquid chromatography, and eight glycosylation traits were derived based on structural similarity. End point–associated IgG-GPs were preselected with fractional polynomials, and prospective associations were estimated in confounder-adjusted Cox models. Diabetes risk associations were validated in three independent studies.

RESULTS

After adjustment for confounders and multiple testing correction, IgG-GP7, IgG-GP8, IgG-GP9, IgG-GP11, and IgG-GP19 were associated with type 2 diabetes risk. A score based on these IgG-GPs was associated with a higher diabetes risk in EPIC-Potsdam and independent validation studies (843 total cases, 3,149 total non-cases, pooled estimate per SD increase 1.50 [95% CI 1.37–1.64]). Associations of IgG-GPs with CVD risk differed between men and women. In women, IgG-GP9 was inversely associated with CVD risk (hazard ratio [HR] per SD 0.80 [95% CI 0.65–0.98]). In men, a weighted score based on IgG-GP19 and IgG-GP23 was associated with higher CVD risk (HR per SD 1.47 [95% CI 1.20–1.80]). In addition, several derived traits were associated with cardiometabolic disease incidence.

CONCLUSIONS

Selected IgG N-glycans are associated with cardiometabolic risk beyond classic risk factors, including clinical biomarkers.

Authors: Reich Hanna , Brähler Elmar , Gieler Uwe , Kupfer Jörg
Published: September 2022

Point prevalence estimates for common skin symptoms vary widely. Most research has focussed on a few symptoms and a single point of observation. The aim of this study is to determine point prevalence rates for 12 self-reported skin symptoms in 1998 and 2015 and to assess changes in the reporting of skin symptoms over time. Symptoms were assessed by 2 national face-to-face household surveys of representative samples of the German general population (n1998=2,079, n2015=2,511). Point prevalence ranges were 6.8–26.2% in 1998 and 11.6–32.1% in 2015. Dandruff, body odour, pimples, and an itchy scalp were the 4 most common skin symptoms, each of which affected more than 20% of the population at both time-points. For almost all symptoms, a statistically significant increase, with very small to small effect sizes, was observed over time. The increase in skin symptoms over time is congruent with the increase in skin diseases reported by the Global Burden of Disease study.

Published: September 2022

Objective: To examine whether alternating training with both the non-paretic and paretic sides (alternating bilateral training), expecting trial-to-trial inter-limb transfer of training effects from the nonparetic to the paretic side, improves upper-limb motor performance in post-stroke patients, compared with unilateral training involving only the paretic side.Design: An assessor-blinded pilot randomized controlled trial.Subjects: Twenty-four right-handed post-stroke patients with hemiparesis.Methods: Participants were randomly allocated to either an alternating bilateral training group or a unilateral training group (n = 12/group). Participants underwent dexterity training of the paretic arm using the Nine-Hole Peg Test, completing 10 trials/day for 7 consecutive days. The alternating bilateral training group additionally performed alternating trials with the non-paretic limb. Performance change, assessed 1 day and 1 week after the 7-day training period, was compared between groups.Results: Although the improvement was comparable in both groups at both post-training time-points, a sub-analysis in which those with left hemiparesis and those with right hemiparesis were analyzed separately revealed potential benefits of the alternating bilateral training, specifically for those with left hemiparesis.Conclusion: Alternating bilateral training may augment training effects and improve upper-limb motor function in patients with left hemiparesis.
LAY ABSTRACTPost-stroke patients often experience long-term impairments affecting dexterity and motor control of the paretic upper limb. Recent studies have suggested that a unique training method, based on the inter-limb transfer phenomenon, expecting transfer of the training effect of the trained to the contralateral limb, has the potential to improve the performance of the paretic side. However, this traditional model focuses on training only with the non-paretic side, and thus cannot be directly applied to clinical settings. This study developed and evaluated the effect of a new clinically relevant strategy in which post-stroke patients underwent alternating training of the upper limbs of the non-paretic and paretic sides. Although the training effect was comparable with that of the unilateral training involving only the paretic side, a sub-analysis revealed a potential benefit of the alternating training specifically for left hemiparetic patients. The proposed training strategy could help post-stroke patients improve upper-limb motor function.

Published: September 2022

Phasey bean (Macroptilium lathyroides) and siratro (Macroptilium atropurpureum) are introduced legumes that become a common species in pastureland. The nutritional content of these legumes has been explored, but on the contrary the anatomical study. The anatomical trait, especially in leaf epidermal, have been used to increase the understanding in taxonomy. This study aimed to investigate the leaf epidermal variability among phasey bean and siratro. The method used longitudinal section for upper and lower epidermal, then stained in safranin 0,1%. The results show that the upper epidermal in phasey bean have polygonal epidermal cell, while the lower part and the both part of siratro have irregular-shaped. The type of stomata in upper epidermal of phasey bean is paracytic and the lower epidermal is paracytic and anomocytic. Both epidermal sides in siratro have paracytic and anomocytic stomata. The index of stomata in phasey bean is higher than the siratro, but the index of trichomes in phasey bean is lower than siratro. The trichomes only absent in upper epidermal of phasey bean. Both plants have a similar types of trichomes: capitate glandular trichomes and linear non-glandular trichomes.

Published: September 2022

Lead has been known as one of the heavy metals with a high adverse effect to the environment and human health. This study reports the activity of activated carbon from biomass of banana peel as an adsorbent to resolve the hazardous lead-contaminated wastewater. The influence of the activator was studied via the alteration of NaOH concentration from 1, 3, and 5 M, where the sample was denoted as AC-1, AC-3, and AC-5. Some techniques, including FTIR, XRD, and SEM were applied to characterize the sample with the highest adsorption capacity. FTIR result affirmed the presence of hydroxyl group on the activated carbon with NaOH 1 M (AC-1) that was beneficial for adsorption. XRD and SEM confirmed that the activated carbon possessed crystalline and amorphous phases with sheet-like morphology. Regarding Pb(II) adsorption, the higher concentration of activator caused the decline of adsorption capacity as the contact time prolonged. The highest adsorption capacity and efficiency were obtained using 1 M NaOH activator with a contact time of 1 hour, which was 3.71 mg/gram and 97.86%, respectively.

Enacted “Jus Valachicum” in South Transylvania (14th-18th Centuries)
Authors: COSMA Ela
Published: September 2022

The case studies presented in our approach analyse from the perspective of legal history several medieval and premodern historical documents. They reflect enactments of the Jus Valachicum in South Transylvania among the Romanians living on the Saxon Land, in Mărginimea Sibiului, and in its vicinity, in the citadel and Land of Făgăraş. Illustrations and prescriptions of enacted Romanian customary law are included in: the Romanian-Saxon peace convention of Cristian (13 January 1383); the protocol of the seat of Sălişte (16th-18th centuries); Constitutio gremialis Sedis Szeliste (1585); Cartea ocolniță from Răşinari (22 May 1488); Transmissionales in causa Possesionis Resinar contra Liberam Regiamque Civitatem Cibiniensem (1784); the Jura (Rights) of Răşinari (15th-18th centuries); the Statutes of Făgăraş (15 May 1508). These enactments of Jus Valachicum abolish the bias of a strictly oral, unwritten and unstructured Romanian customary law. They also confirm de iure the legal situation extant de facto, thus proving the long uninterrupted use of Jus Valachicum among the South-Transylvanian Romanians during the 14th-18th centuries.

Acestea reflectă codificări ale lui Jus Valachicum în sudul Transilvaniei, la românii locuitori ai Pământului Săsesc, în Mărginimea Sibiului, şi în vecinătatea acestuia, în cetatea şi în Țara Făgăraşului. Ilustrările şi prescripțiile acestor codificări ale legii cutumiare româneşti sunt cuprinse în: convenția de pace româno-săsească de la Cristian (13 ianuarie 1383); protocolul scaunului de lege din Sălişte (secolele XVI-XVIII); Constitutio gremialis Sedis Szeliste (1585); Cartea ocolniță din Răşinari (22 mai 1488); Transmissionales in causa Possesionis Resinar contra Liberam Regiamque Civitatem Cibiniensem (1784); Jura (drepturile) satului Răşinari (secolele XV-XVIII); Statutele Făgăraşului (15 mai 1508). Exemplificarea codificărilor lui Jus Valachicum aboleşte ideea preconcepută a unui drept obişnuielnic românesc exclusiv oral, nescris şi nestructurat. Totodată este confirmată de iure situația juridică existentă de facto, atestând astfel uzul îndelungat şi neîntrerupt al lui Jus Valachicum la românii din sudul Transilvaniei de-a lungul secolelor XIV-XVIII.

The last decade metamorphoses of Türkiye’s foreign policy agenda: is its future on the scaffold?
Authors: POPESCU Daniela
Published: September 2022

Türkiye as newly shaped state with its proclamation as a republic in the 20th century had at its beginnings embraced many values of the Western world, including some in matters of foreign policy actions. But its geographical position gave it not only a great advantage, but also a great challenge: that of shaping its identity and constantly ensuring its protection on two continents. Constantly held back from making high-impact geopolitical decisions, Türkiye has been forced several times in its recent history to decide its position. Its decision to be part of NATO, to continue the process of secularization and the intention to be part of the E.U were such moments, but the events in the Middle East and its complicated relationship with Russia turned it out of its way. The past years showed us a divided Turkey, increasingly isolated and which seems to put its future on the scaffold, and the present work aims to identify and exemplify such moments.

Rezumat: Turcia ca identitate statală a secolului al XX-lea odată cu proclamarea sa ca republică începuse să îmbrățişeze valori ale lumii vestice, inclusiv în materie de acțiuni de politică externă. Însă poziția sa geografică i-a oferit nu doar un mare avantaj, ci şi o mare provocare: aceea de a-şi contura identitatea şi de a-şi asigura constant protecția pe două continente. Constant reținută în a lua decizii geopolitice de mare impact, Turcia a fost determinată de câteva ori în istoria sa recentă să îşi decidă poziția. Decizia sa de a fi parte din NATO, de a continua procesul de laicizare şi intenția de a fi parte din U.E au fost astfel de momente, însă evenimentele din Orientul Mijlociu şi relația sa complicată cu Rusia au întors-o din drum. Ultimii ani ne arată o Turcie divizată, tot mai izolată şi care pare că îşi pune viitorul pe eşafod, iar lucrarea de față îşi propune să radiografieze şi exemplifice astfel de momente.

The resident and non-resident medical studentships in the medical education of Cluj County in the first Communist Age
Authors: GROZAV BIRIŞ Victoria
Published: September 2022

This article presents the two forms of perfection of students in the medical higher education of Cluj County, the resident and non-resident medical studentships which were introduced in the Faculty of Medicine from Cluj in the interwar period continuing with certain interruptions in the first Communist Age. The article illustrates how the position of intern and extern physician could be filled in, in medicine. The social mark was the one that differentiated the medical examination in the Communist Age from the one from the interwar period. The social mark represented the social community activity of the student regarding the involvement of the student in various cultural and sanitary activities or voluntary work. The weight of this social mark was equal to the other specialized subjects from the examination. Under this social mark the Communist regime could mask the sanctioning of the political past and the poor political orientation of the students.

Rezumat: Internatul şi externatul în învățământul medical clujean în prima epocă comunistă. Acest articol prezintă cele două forme de perfecționare a studenților din învățământul superior medical clujean: internatul şi externatul, care au fost introduse la Facultatea de Medicină din Cluj în perioada interbelică continuând cu unele înteruperi şi în prima epocă comunistă. Articolul ilustrează modul în care se putea ocupa funcția de intern şi extern în medicină. Nota socială era cea care diferenția examenul din perioada comunistă de cel din perioada interbelică. Nota socială reprezenta activitatea social-obştească a studentului privind implicarea studentului în diverse activități culturale, sanitare sau de muncă voluntară. Ponderea acestei note sociale era egală cu celelalte materii de specialitate din examen. Sub această notă socială, regimul comunist putea masca sancționarea trecutului politic şi slaba orientare politică a studenților.

INTERVIEW: MOHAMMED SENOUSSI
Authors: SENOUSSI Mohammed
Published: September 2022

Q: Literary history, be it national, local, or regional, is perhaps the most conservative form of literary study, with many claiming that the method is outmoded. What can literary histories do to overcome both the risk of obsolescence and their inherent conservatism?
A: Indeed, there is no consensus among scholars on the necessity of literary histories. The way we appreciate and perceive literature changes over time; that is why there is no agreement about the rules of literary historiography. Perception, interpretation and reception of literature changes from one culture to another and one generation to another; therefore, we can write different histories about the same work. Borrowing Sartre’s famous quote “existence precedes essence,” literature and literary history are always in the process of becoming. Literature is not something that exists but something that becomes.
Furthermore, literary history writers must refashion the way they write because modern literature is heavily loaded with ideologies. In other words, literary historiography must shift its focus of the ‘literariness’ of the text to the politics of the text. For instance, shall we simply define Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness as the first modernist work, i.e., defining the novella and explaining its form and techniques? Or shall we discuss its functionalities? Conrad for some literary historians is a giant of English literature, but for other critics is a bloody racist. So, what history shall we write?
WORLD HISTORY, LITERARY HISTORY: POSTMODERNISM AND AFTER
Authors: MORARU Christian
Published: September 2022

World History, Literary History: Postmodernism and After. The basic question Christian Moraru raises in his contribution is about the direction in which literary history and criticism overall may be going after postmodernism. Moraru’s answer, or guess, is that literary-cultural scholarship, along with the humanities at large, would probably have to adjust to shifts in the world “out there.” As Moraru contends, our profession is already doing its best to catch up epistemologically with an increasingly strong planetary ontology, that is, with how the world most known to us—the finite planet—is and presents itself in the twenty-first century. Key here, he argues, is the lexicon and planetary phenomenology of “presentation” or presencing, rather, of an overwhelming coming into presence of that which is scattered all around us and we have been exploiting, overusing, polluting, discarding, or disregarding during the Anthropocene. In his essay, the critic attends to this resurgent presence and to what it means for literature and its historical cycles now that one of these—postmodernism—is basically complete. He does so obliquely, through a couple of marginalia to David Foster Wallace’s 1996 meganovel Infinite Jest.

REZUMAT. Istoria lumii, istoria literaturii: Postmodernismul și dincolo de acesta. Principala întrebare pe care Christian Moraru o ridică în contribuția sa se referă la direcția criticii și istoriei literare după postmodernism. Răspunsul (sau intuiția) lui Moraru este aceea că literatura de specialitate din domeniu și disciplinele umanistice în general se vor vedea nevoite să se regleze la schimbările care au loc în lumea materială din afara lor. Așa cum afirmă autorul, profesia noastră face deja tot ce poate să țină pasul cu o ontologie planetară din ce în ce mai puternic marcată, sau, mai bine zis, cu felul în care lumea – planeta ca realitate înconjurătoare finită—ni se înfățișează în secolul al XXI-lea. Vitale, aici, spune el, sunt lexiconul și fenomenologia planetare ale „prezentării” sau prezentificării, mai bine zis, ale unei intensificări a prezenței copleșitoare a ceea ce este împrăștiat în jurul nostru și care a fost exploatat, suprauzat, poluat, aruncat și desconsiderat în timpul antropocenului. În articolul său, criticul abordează această prezență recurentă și semnificația sa pentru literatură și ciclurile istorice, acum că unul dintre acestea—postmodernismul—se află la sfârșit. Autorul analizează oblic aceste lucruri prin câteva glose pe marginea megaromanului Infinite Jest pe care David Foster Wallace l-a publicat în 1996.

KENOTIC DIALOGUE – A PARADIGM FOR CHRISTIANS’ RELATIONS WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS
Authors: STANCIU Teofil
Published: September 2022

This article represents an attempt to argue that if we are to apply Christ’s kenosis to our relationships, then a kenotic dialogue will be the appropriate way to interact with others. Starting from Martin Buber and some Christian thinkers, this paper will also emphasize the relational dimension of God’s image in human beings and the subsequent dialogue this image entails. Assuming the premise that Jesus Christ is the perfect human expression of God’s image and that this reality also impacts our human nature, the consequence might be that his kenotic dialogue with the world prompts an analog dialogue between God and us (in prayers) and between our neighbors and us. Because kenosis can be a tricky concept, it is adequate to mention that the kenotic perspective employed in this paper is that set out by the Orthodox theologian Dumitru Stăniloae. Finally, we hope to convince the reader that Christ’s kenosis is simultaneously the foundation and the model for our relationships network and enables us to a new way of interacting with people.
