This study examines the interplay between childhood parental alienation, adult self-esteem, and parenting styles experienced during upbringing. The sample comprises 125 Romanian participants (76% female, 24% male), aged 21 to 59 (M= 33.8, SD= 8.88). Distinct datasets were formed based on the absence of either parent during childhood, enabling separate analyses for mother-child and father-child relationships. Results reveal a statistically significant negative association between childhood parental alienation and adult self-esteem. Moreover, a significant positive correlation is found between experiencing democratic parenting during childhood and current self-esteem. The study also demonstrates that the authoritarian parenting style only moderates the relationship between parental alienation and self-esteem within the father-child relationship, albeit at a low to moderate level of influence. Conversely, this effect is not observed within the mother-child relationship. These findings have been further analyzed in the context of current research on the topic, thus contributing to the comprehension, prevention and management of parental alienation, its impact on adult self-esteem, and the promotion of healthier parent-child relationships
Operatividad actual del concepto de parodia, después del posmodernismo: de Roberto Alcázar a ¡García!
Authors: Topuzian Marcelo
Published: June 2024

El trabajo propone una discusión de la operatividad del concepto de parodia para el análisis cultural a partir de la revisión de un caso: las diferentes versiones del personaje de historieta español Roberto Alcázar. Se describen las características del cuaderno de aventuras original Roberto Alcázar y Pedrín (1941-1976, Valenciana, Arizmendi y Vañó). Luego se presentan y caracterizan, desde el punto de vista del tratamiento paródico, sus versiones provenientes del cómic underground español durante la Transición y más allá: Roberto el carca (1980, 1982-1984, Laertes, Pàmies) y Roberto España y Manolín (1994, 1997, Midons, Vidal-Folch y Gallardo). Este análisis proporciona las bases para una revisión crítica del debate histórico en torno de la parodia posmoderna (Jameson, Hutcheon), contemporáneo de la aparición de estas versiones, teniendo en cuenta el acceso reflexivo del medio a su especificidad. Las conclusiones de esta revisión servirán para desarrollar un análisis de la reciente ¡García! (2015-…, Astiberri, García y Bustos) en el que se intentará terminar de iluminar el concepto de parodia y, sobre todo, sus usos previos durante la Transición, especialmente a propósito de las relaciones entre arte y política más allá de los ejemplos clásicos provenientes de la arquitectura, las artes plásticas y la novela.

Authors: Sembiring Justina Berry , Indrati Agnes Rengga , Amalia Widya
Published: June 2024

Infection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) lowers the body's immune system, especially CD4+ cells, making it more susceptible to opportunistic infections. Approximately 10-40% of People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) fail to achieve normal levels of CD4+ T cells despite continued virological suppression, a condition called Immunological Non-Responders (INR). Previous studies have shown that INR is considered a predictor of disease progression in people with HIV receiving antiretroviral (ARV)s through various mechanisms of suppression of the immune system that increases morbidity and mortality. Papua is an HIV epidemic area with a prevalence of 2.3%. This research is a cohort study conducted at Abepura Hospital from June 2019 to February 2023, which aims to identify the factors that influence the occurrence of INR in PLHIV receiving ARV therapy. There were 123 research subjects consisting of 55 people (44.7%) in the INR group and 68 people (55.3%) in the non-INR group. The results showed that the incidence of INR was higher in males than females (p=0.019), INR was significantly associated with increasing age (p=0.013), and CD4 count was low at the start of ARVs (p=0.002). There was a significant difference in CD4 counts between INR and non-INR (p<0.001). Oral candidiasis as a common opportunistic infection is more common in people with INR than in non-INR. (p=0.037). This study suggested that it is necessary to carry out a CD4 examination at the start of therapy and monitoring every 6 months to detect possible INR to prevent an increased risk of AIDS and non-AIDS, which increases mortality.

Published: June 2024

The detection of latent tuberculosis (TB) infection to prevent progression to active TB disease is an essential part of the WHO's end-TB strategy. Diagnosis of latent TB infection is based on detecting immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens. Interferon Gamma Release Assays (IGRA) are superior to Tuberculin Skin Tests (TST) for detecting latent infection; however, the performance of IGRA is limited in resource-limited settings. This study evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, and agreement of the lateral-flow nanoparticle fluorescence assay (QIAreach QFT) compared with the ELISA method (QFT-Plus) as a reference test. This cross-sectional study was carried out in the laboratory department of Siloam Hospitals in Lippo Village, Banten, Indonesia, between January and June 2023. A total of 60 samples consisting of both males and females of all age groups were tested for QFT-Plus and were involved in the study using consecutive samples. Sensitivity, specificity, Negative Predictive Value (NPV), and Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of QIAreach QFT were 100% (95% CI 86.28-100), 70.96% (95% CI 51.96-85.78), 100%, (95% CI 84.56-100) and 73.53% (95% CI 55.64-87.12), respectively. The agreement calculation using Cohen's kappa coefficient, excluding indeterminate data, showed a kappa value 0.68 (95% CI 0.507-0.864). QIAreach QFT, with its superiority, could support the expansion of IGRA testing, particularly in remote areas, thereby helping the eradication attempt of TB infection.
A Literature Review: Relationship between Interleukin-1 Beta and the Severity of COVID-19
Authors: Maghfirah Andi Ita , Esa Tenri , Bahrun Uleng
Published: June 2024

COVID-19 disease can cause dysregulation of the immune system, resulting in a cytokine storm. One of the cytokines released is IL-1B, a proinflammatory cytokine due to macrophage stimulation. This study aimed to provide a literature review of the value of Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1B) in patients with severity of COVID-19. This literature review was carried out using the search engines PubMed, Open Accessed Journal, Science Direct, and Google Scholar from December 2019 to December 2022. No studies suggested that IL-1B was associated with the severity of COVID-19. IL-1B is vital during the acute inflammatory response and helps T cells by linking innate and adaptive immunity as a lymphocyte activation factor. A gradual decrease in lymphocyte count was reported in severe COVID-19 diseases. The substantial reduction in lymphocyte count indicates that the SARS-CoV-2 virus increases immune cells and inhibits cellular immunity. This result might explain why IL-1B levels in mild COVID-19 were not significantly different from IL-1B levels in severe COVID-19. There was an increase in IL-1B levels in COVID-19 patients, but there was no relationship between IL-1B and the severity of COVID-19.

Published: June 2024

Low levels of financial literacy cause people to have lower savings rates, higher transaction costs, larger debts and the loans acquisition with higher interest rates, therefore it becomes relevant to analyze the determinants of financial literacy. The aim of this research is to identify whether there is an association between the financial literacy level and sociodemographic characteristics. The Mexican Petroleum Company (Pemex) employees is the population analyzed. Pemex is the state-owned oil and natural gas producer, transporter, refiner and marketer in Mexico. A non-probabilistic convenience sampling was performed and 404 responses were obtained. The analysis of data was carried out with the Bayesian method. The results show that there is an association between Pemex employees’ level of financial literacy and their level of education, income, age and type of retirement saving. No association was found between their level of financial literacy and gender, marital status and whether or not they have children.
RELIABILITY AND LIMITATIONS OF GOOGLE TRANSLATE: A BILINGUAL, BIDIRECTIONAL AND GENRE-BASED EVALUATION
Authors: Roig Allué Blanca
Published: June 2024

The popularity of machine translation systems (or CAT, computer-assisted translation), which enable their users to obtain automatically generated translations of any text, has been increasing ever since they were created. One of the most widely used machine translation is Google Translate, a statistical system whose performance is the object of study of this paper. In order to evaluate its reliability, a small-scale study has been carried out in which translations of tourist texts and football match reports published online generated by the tool have been analysed, and the most representative mistakes found in terms of frequency have been classified at a lexicogrammatical, syntactic, pragmatic and punctuation level. Based on these findings, the main linguistic limitations of Google Translate have been established. It is worth highlighting the fact that three crucial variables have intervened in the corpus compilation, namely language (English/Spanish), direction of the translation (English into Spanish and vice versa) and genre of the texts (tourist and sports).

Published: June 2024

To investigate the performance of an irreversible direct ammonia-fed solid oxide fuel cell, the direct ammonia-fed solid oxide fuel cell based on oxygen ion conductivity was modeled using finite time thermodynamic theory. First, mathematical expressions for the output power, output efficiency, ecological objective function and ecological coefficient of performance of the direct ammonia-fed solid oxide fuel cell were derived. Further, the effects of parameters such as operating tempera-ture, operating pressure, fuel utilization, and electrolyte thickness on the performance of direct ammonia-fed solid oxide fuel cell were numerically investigated. The results show that as the operating temperature of direct ammonia-fed solid oxide fuel cell increases, the performance of direct ammonia-fed solid oxide fuel cell including output power, output effi-ciency, ecological objective function and ecological coefficient of performance will be improved. Under certain conditions, increasing fuel utilization can improve output power, output efficiency and ecological performance. Increasing the elec-trolyte thickness will decrease the finite time thermodynamic performance of direct ammonia-fed solid oxide fuel cell. Moreover, the microstructure of the electrode also affects the performance of direct ammonia-fed solid oxide fuel cell, and the ecological objective function is increased by 16.9% when the electrode porosity is increased from 0.4 to 0.8.
Study on the effect of tab cooling on the lithium-ion battery pack life cycle
Authors: Muthukrishnan K. , Ramesh Kumar C.
Published: June 2024

Electric vehicles are the future of mobility. Electric vehicles have batteries to store energy and the most common type of batteries used in electric vehicle’s battery packs are lithium-ion cells. These cells have very high energy density and dissi-pate heat during charging and discharging cycles. There is a need to have an efficient cooling system to dissipate this heat. Bigger-size batteries in four-wheelers use liquid cooling to ensure faster charging and longer battery life. Surface cooling and tab cooling are two popular types of liquid cooling systems for battery packs. Surface cooling is a preferred type of cooling system as it is less complex and cheaper, but it creates a temperature gradient inside the cell which is detrimental to cell life. This work proposes tab cooling as a solution to improve the life cycle of lithium-ion cells. Two sets of the battery pack, one with tab cooling and the other without a cooling system were tested under different conditions for multiple fast charging and discharging cycles until their initial capacity was reduced by 30%. The results show that with tab cooling the battery performed better and battery degradation was reduced.

The aim of the study was to determine the extent to which created and functioning beaver dams contribute to increasing water retention in the Łąki Soleckie facility (Mała River valley). Changes in the plant cover of meadow habitats within the range of beaver dams were also determined. During the growing periods in 2020–2022, measurements of the periodic levels and water retention of the Mała River and the adjacent ditches (R-27, R-29) were closely related to the activity of beavers and precipitation. The maximum volume of water retained in the Mała riverbed in 2020–2022 was 1,300, 1,700, and 1,200 m3; the maximum retention of the R-29 ditch was 270, 210, and 200 m3, respectively. In 2021–2022, the R-27 ditch collected the most water – 270 m3and 250 m3. Starting from June 2022, due to beaver dams D2 and D3, the water level in the river and water retention have stabilised at a high level, despite slight rainfall. The activity of beavers contributed to the transformation of communities of wet habitats located on organic soils (Calthion) into communities of periodically wet habitats (Caricetum gracilis). In places where natural habitat 6510 occurs, the coverage of species of the Festuca genus has increased, and the value of the biodiversity index has increased by an average of 9%. High stability in the community of expansive species (Deschampsia caespitosa and Veronica longifolia) and their increasing cover may make it difficult to maintain the proper condition of natural habitat 6510.

This research analyses the characteristics of pollution sources and evaluates the water quality of the Bedadung River at the Perumdam Tirta Pandalungan water intake, as a component of the municipal waterworks for the Jember Regency. Utilising self-purification optimisation with linear programming and the Indonesian water quality classification, the study unfolds in a systematic fashion. The research was broken down into the following stages: (1) analysis of the characteristics and distribution of pollution sources, (2) capacity determination using mass balance and the Streeter– Phelps method, and (3) optimisation of organic pollution sources. The input data for the study comprised biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), discharge, river profile, and dissolved oxygen (DO). The pollution source identification results around the Bedadung River segment showed that 13 wastewater monitoring points were dominated by domestic activities with quality (BOD) in the range 1.01–3.18 mg∙dm–3. This did not exceed the established domestic wastewater quality standards in Indonesia. The total pollution load capacity – BOD at the Perumdam Tirta Pandalungan water intake in the Sumbersari (T2) and Kaliwates (T3) segments was determined using self-purification optimisation and it exceeded class I designation standard for river water quality established by the Indonesian government. The maximum BOD value using self-purification optimisation in the Sumbersari (T2) segment was 11.44 mg∙dm–3 compared to 13.45 mg∙dm–3 in the Kaliwates (T3) segment. The maximum BOD for class I water quality is 2 mg∙dm–3. The class I water quality standard is thus more stringent in maintaining river water quality compared to self-purification.

Published: June 2024

West Java, known as one of the largest rice producers in Indonesia, boasts considerable agricultural potential waiting to be harnessed. Recognising the significance of sustainable agricultural practices, the adoption of biofertilisers emerges as a promising strategy. This environmentally friendly approach not only offers economic benefits but also contributes to the preservation of the local ecosystem. Furthermore, implementing biopesticides for pest management complements these efforts by addressing pest resistance, ultimately enhancing agricultural productivity in the region. This study intends to demonstrate advantages of the organic farming system over inorganic farming in rice yield, economy, and sustainable farming in West Java, Indonesia. A non-factorial randomised complete block design was used: T0 = inorganic farming, T1 = 100% dosage organic farming, T2 = 100% dosage semi-organic farming, T3 = 50% dosage organic farming, and T4 = 50% dosage semi-organic farming. In conclusion, this research underscores the substantial potential benefits of biotechnology-based techniques, particularly organic farming systems (OFS). While the implementation of the OFS may not significantly impact certain plant growth parameters, the study emphasises its positive sustainability and economic feasibility. Advocating for the adoption of organic farming practices in West Java and neighbouring regions is crucial for a more sustainable and productive agricultural future.

Authors: Maslov O. , Komisarenko M. , Ponomarenko S. , Kolisnyk S. , Osolodchenko T. , Golik M.
Published: June 2024

Aim

To determine the content of phenolcarboxylic acids using gas chromatography–mass spectrometer (GC–MS) in the obtained extract, conduct a study of the antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities of Rubus idaeus shoot lipophilic extract.

Material/methods

The quantification of phenolcarboxylic was accomplished through GC–MS, antioxidant activity was assessed by potentiometric method, antimicrobial and antifungal activities were determined by well method.

Results

The 8 compounds were identified by the GC–MS method. The vanillic acid (2.59 ± 0.08 mg/100 g), benzoic acid (1.51±0.08 mg/100 g), and ferulic acid (0.79±0.04 mg/100 g) dominated in the obtained lipophilic R. idaeus shoot extract. Bacillus subtilis (17.00 ± 0.50 mm) was the most sensitive to lipophilic extract, whereas Proteus vulgaris was the most resistant to the lipophilic extract. Moreover, Candida albicans was medium sensitive to lipophilic extract (13.50 ± 0.50 mm). The antioxidant activity was 1.00 mmol-equiv./mdry res; according to Maslov's antioxidant level classification it has low level.

Conclusions

The lipophilic extract from R. idaeus shoots contains various phenolcarboxylic acids, including vanillic acid, benzoic acid, ferulic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, syringic acid, gentisic acid, salicylic acid, and phenylacetic acid, with the highest concentrations observed for vanillic, benzoic, and ferulic acids. This study highlights the antimicrobial and antifungal properties of the R. idaeus shoot lipophilic extract. However, the obtained lipophilic extract showed a relatively low level of antioxidant activity. Consequently, the derivatives of phenolcarboxylic acids play a substantial role in the antimicrobial and antifungal effects, whereas their contribution to antioxidant activity appears to be limited.

Authors: Fedets A. , Khukhlina O. , Yatskevych O. , Yatskevych А. , Telishevska M.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The problem of osteoporosis (OP) has become an epidemic unprecedented in its scale. Numerous studies of various aspects of OP leave out men with a history of gastric resection (GR) as a result of complicated peptic ulcer disease (PUD). Therefore, a detailed characteristics of clinical parameters and hormonal and metabolic homeostasis in men with postgastric resection disease (PGRD) and comorbid OP will allow the improvement of the treatment and prevention of osteodeficiency conditions in this category of patients.
The aim of the study. To characterize clinical parameters and hormonal and metabolic homeostasis in men with postgastric resection disease and comorbid osteoporosis.
Materials and methods. 164 men with PGRD and comorbid OP were examined with preliminary random stratification by the presence of a history of five or more years of GR surgery as a result of complicated PUD. In addition to routine examinations, hormonal homeostasis was studied by the effect of hormones on protein metabolism: anabolic (growth hormone, parathyroid hormone, gastrin, and testosterone) and catabolic (triiodothyronine, thyroxine, glucagon, and cortisol) hormones and cyclic nucleotides. Plasma electrolytes and protein profile were also analyzed.
Results. It was established that the vast majority of patients who underwent the surgery with PGRD and comorbid OP have clinical signs of calcium metabolism disorders. They had significant abnormalities in hormonal and metabolic homeostasis manifested by dyshormonemia, dyselectrolytemia and dysproteinemia. We believe that these scientific facts will help to improve the treatment and prevention of secondary osteoporosis complications in this category of patients.
Conclusions. Among the clinical parameters in men with PGRD and comorbid OP, bone pain and muscle cramps prevailed. Hormonal homeostasis was characterized by dyshormonemia with a significant decrease in almost all studied anabolic hormones and an increase in almost all studied catabolic hormones. Deviations in metabolic homeostasis were manifested by dyselectrolytemia (hypophosphatemia, hypomagnesemia, decreased ionized calcium) and dysproteinemia (hypoalbuminemia, hyper-a1-globulinemia, hyper-β-globulinemia, sharply reduced glycoproteins).

Published: June 2024

This article aims to address the issues related to the development of Kopi Nur industry in Sungai Penuh over the period from 1984 to 2019. The industry had two leadership periods: Nurcaya's leadership from 1984 to 2015, and Zefri Efdison's leadership from 2015 to 2019. The research employs a historical method, encompassing heuristic data collection, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. During the heuristic phase, primary sources such as books, government-related data, relevant scholarly articles, certificates, and company records were collected. Interviews with informants were also conducted. Under Nurcaya's leadership from 1984 to 2015, Kopi Nur initially used water wheels for production but shifted to machinery due to increased demand. During Zefri Efdison's leadership, rapid coffee industry growth occurred due to effective sales management and workforce handling. To boost consumer interest, Zefri Efdison engaged in exhibitions and training programs. The study's findings conclude that Kopi Nur originated from Bukit Apit coffee in Bukittinggi and evolved into a family business under Nurcaya. Over 35 years since the introduction of the Kopi Nur brand, significant development has occurred, yielding positive impacts on the sustainability of Kopi Nur business.

This study discusses the morphology changes of Pekanbaru City during the two decades of the Dutch colonial era (1919-1942).  This study had used historical research methods with a city morphology perspective. The stages had been heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. During that time, Pekanbaru had been developed by the Dutch Colonial Government as an administrative center and trading center. In order to develop that function, the Dutch Colonial Government had built a rubber plantation as a trading commodity at the Pekanbaru Port, which was on the banks of the Siak River. They had also built infrastructure, educational, medical, recreation facilities, etc., so that this city had become attractive to urbanites, resulting in an increase in population. Therefore, a new area of the city had been built to the south so that a morphological transformation had occurred in that city. Thus, in 1919-1942, Pekanbaru had become the administrative center and trade center to support the surrounding plantations.

Background: Pancreatic metastases are rare but are likely to be diagnosed more frequently in the future due to the increase in oncology surveillance programs. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the surgical and oncologic outcomes of a series of patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic metastases. Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective, descriptive, and multicenter cohort study on patients who underwent pancreatic resections for metastases in the pancreas by the same surgical group between January 2016 and December 2022 in three healthcare providers. Results: A total of 19 patients were operated on, mean age was 59 years (45-79), and 11 were women with good performance status and no other evidence of oncologic disease. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma was the primary tumor in 14 cases (7 diagnosed during surveillance), and the remaining primary tumors were one case of breast ductal carcinoma, one testicular cancer, one colorectal cancer, one melanoma and one cervical cancer. The surgical techniques used were pancreatectomies and splenectomies in 7 patients (5 via laparoscopy and 2 conventional procedures), 4 enucleations (3 conventional procedures and 1 laparoscopic surgery), 3 conventional cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomies, 2 conventional central pancreatectomies and one spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy. No deaths were reported within 90 days of surgery, and overall survival and disease-free survival were 58 and 53 months, respectively. Conclusion: Resection of pancreatic metastases is safe and provides good oncologic outcomes and overall survival when performed with a multidisciplinary approach in centers with a high volume of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeries and in selected cases

Background: Different publications have examined the pathophysiology of bile duct injury (BDI), bur few studies have investigated the effects of BDIs and their subsequent repair on psychosocial and health-related quality of life Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the quality of life of patients before and after definitive BDI repair. Material and methods: The SF-36 Health Survey was used as an instrument to assess health-related quality of life (HRQL) in a series of patients operated on between December 2015 and June 2019 for BDI repair. Results: Of 48 patients who underwent BDI repair, 22 (46%) responded to the survey. The SF-36 items, which includes different domains (physical functioning, physical role functioning, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional role functioning, mental health, and health transition) were compared. All domains demonstrated statistically significant improvement (p < 0.001) following repair. On univariate analysis, mental health was affected by the presence of a complex injury (p = 0.019), and physical and emotional role functioning before BDI repair were associated with the type of injury of the Strasberg classification (p = 0.001 and p = 0.032, respectively). An associated vascular injury had a negative correlation with physical functioning (p = 0.019), vitality (p = 0.033), mental health (p = 0.005), and pain (p = 0.026) prior to repair. Conclusion: The definitive resolution of BDIs at a center specialized in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery resulted in a significant improvement of patients’ quality of life
The semantic potential of the concept "faith" in Maxim Gorky's novel "Foma Gordeev"
Authors: Karakhanian Narine Joraevna
Published: June 2024

The purpose of the article is to identify the semantic potential of the concept "faith", to show its role in the disclosure of the ideological and philosophical layer of the story, in the system of characters. The subject of the research is the analysis of the functions of the concept "faith" and the ways of its actualization in the first major work of M. Gorky's novella "Thomas Gordeev". The main form of realization of the concept is the monologues of the heroes addressed to the main character in order to inspire their own idea of faith, as well as in his internal monologues and dialogues with opponents.The prospects for the study of the concept of "faith" are connected with the analysis of its functions in other genre forms created by the writer, which allows us to trace the evolution of the artist's worldview. The scientific novelty lies in the proof of the position that the concept of "faith" in the plot of the story expands the peripheral spectrum of meanings revealed in the process of educational monologues of characters addressed to the main character, his internal monologues and dialogues with opponents. The expansion of the peripheral zone of the concept occurs in its speech representation: the use of the concept under consideration by the actors allows us to judge the character of the hero, the moral atmosphere of the era.The result of the study showed that the use of typological, historical and functional methods, conceptual analysis allowed us to determine the associative space of actualization of semantic units characterizing the concept of "faith". The results obtained can be used in the course "History of Russian literature of the XX century", in special courses on Gorky's work.
Linguistic and extralinguistic specificity of Russian and English texts of ethical codes in the diachronic aspect
Authors: Mukhortova Irina Igorevna
Published: June 2024

The subject of the study is linguistic, extralinguistic and linguoculturological features that determine the specifics of English and Russian-language texts of ethical codes of banks in a comparative aspect throughout the XXI century. To analyze the specifics of the texts of ethical codes of banks (based on the material of English and Russian languages), descriptive and comparative methods are used in the article. The methodological basis is determined by a systematic approach based on the principle of consistency of linguistic phenomena, system analysis, as well as descriptive, inductive-deductive and comparative methods. In accordance with the systematic approach, the interrelation of structural, genre-content, linguistic and cultural features of the texts of banking discourse on the material of English and Russian languages is actualized.The scientific novelty consists in a comprehensive study and a systematic description of the structural, genre-content, linguistic features of the texts of ethical codes of leading English-speaking and Russian-speaking banks. For the first time, the analysis of the specifics of the texts of the banking discourse in a comparative aspect was carried out, as well as the specific structural, genre, semantic features of ethical codes as a new artifact of modern textual culture, and their transformation during the XXI century against the background of the realities of reality, namely before the 2020 pandemic and after. Thus, based on the analysis performed, it can be argued that bank texts in both languages, due to the active digitalization of society, are characterized by identical key structural, genre-content and language features. Nevertheless, Russian-language texts have made a huge transformational leap in terms of digital content and can be distinguished by a large spread of semiotically complicated polycode systems and the presence of creolized texts.
Sachant que : un marqueur (plus ou moins juste) de mémoire sémanticodiscursive
Authors:   Universitatea din București (Rumanía), Berbinski Sonia
Published: June 2024

A construction with epistemic value, sachant que is a discourse marker that covers both semantic-logical and discursive-argumentative values. Our paper sets out to follow the behaviour of this marker through a heterogeneous corpus, from the point of view of textual typology (literary texts, everyday discourse) but also in specialised language, and more specifically legal language (written and oral). The interest in analysing this marker lies in the fact that its uses, which are very frequent in contemporary French, tend to diluteitsinitialepistemic value,which refers to a known content shared by the enunciative instances. Our analysis follows the mechanism of weakening or maintaining thesemantic and argumentativeforce of this discursive unit through various types of discourse, in order to identify the correct use of the word in approprithrough various types of discourse, in order to identify the correct use of the word in appropriate contexts and with the appropriate meaning.
Les termes prévenu et accusé en droit pénal français, canadien et suisse et leurs équivalents roumains
Authors:   Universitatea din București (Rumanía), Velicu Anca-Marina
Published: June 2024

In French criminal law, the various procedural statuses of (alledged) offenders are highly nuanced: suspect, témoin, témoin assisté, mis en examen, prévenu, accusé , etc. The concepts operationalised in this respect in the codes (Code pénal and Code de procédure pénale in partic ular) are not systematically defined, but the oppositions that structure this terminological field can easily be approached with the help of contexts and cotexts (the study of collocations proves very promising in this respect). The same is true of the opposition that is the focus of our research (prévenu vs. accusé). e two notions are culturally marked: our study will explore the differences in use (and therefore in conceptualisation / designation) of the two terms in French, Swiss and Canadian criminal law, while evoking the intercultural Romanian equivalents of the terminological system from which they derive.

Hantises shakespeariennes dans Le Jour des meurtres dans l’histoire d’Hamlet de Bernard-Marie Koltès
Authors:   Universitatea Alexandru Ioan Cuza din Iași (Rumanía), Monah Dana
Published: June 2024

This article aims to analyse the ways in which Bernard-Marie Koltès approaches Hamlet in his play Le Jour des meurtres dans l’histoire d’Hamlet (1974). We demonstrate that the rewriting borrows the form of a playful performance of the Shakespearean tragedy, of an interrupted, hesitant show, structured by absences and doublings, a show that plays with the expectations of its readers and spectators. Textual transformations and a rich visual dramaturgy raise questions about the status of Koltès’ youth work, which seems to announce stage rewritings at the end of the 20th century.
Migrants and Martyrs in Eastern Africa: A Historical Engagement
Authors: Gathogo Julius
Published: June 2024

The article explores the nature of “migrants” (temporal residents) and “martyrs” in East African Christianity from a historico-analytical design. It samples six cases of martyrdom, largely from the East African coast, to demonstrate the thin line between martyrs and migrants. An analysis of Bakongo Christianity, which was mooted in the sixteenth century, shows the legacy of “migrant” Portuguese who provided the first Christian martyr (John Robello) in Eastern Africa in 1585. In the course of engaging the sixteenth century and the nineteenth century attempts at Christianising Eastern Africa, the article brings out various forms of Christian martyrs, including the Mau Mau martyrs of the 1950s, during Kenya’s struggle for independence. It also brings out other forms of martyrs from non-Christian faiths. Hence, it cites the African indigenous religion, Islamic, and Christian martyrs. In sampling some cases of martyrdom, the article endeavours to ask: Is martyrdom the real test of faith, or is it the normal route for all “migrants” across the religio-social divides? Hypothetically, it argues that although some church historians ascribe the initial emergence and survival of Christianity in Eastern Africa to the nineteenth century European missionary explosion, it is the sixteenth century Portuguese migrants who first introduced a contextual form of Christianity in East Africa that survived through to the twentieth century despite experiencing a hotchpotch of challenges, where martyrdom formed one of the critical ones.
