Authors: Chaochanchaikul Kantima , Rosarpitak Vichal , Sombatsompop Narongrit
Published: June 2023

Structural and thermal stabilizations of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and wood/PVC (WPVC) composites were studied using lead stearate (PbSt2), calcium/zinc complex (Ca/Zn) stabilizers, and methyl tin mercaptide (MT). Thermal and structural stabilities of PVC and WPVC composites were assessed using FTIR spectrometer, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The results indicated that the additions of thermal stabilizers into PVC and WPVC composites could promote the thermal stabilities under both un-aged and thermally aged conditions. The presence of wood particles resulted in increases in polyene and carbonyl sequences during processing and decreases in the decomposition temperature (Td). The presence of wood was found to accelerate the thermal degradation in PVC, and suppressed the efficiencies of the thermal stabilizers used. By increasing the stabilizer dosage, the thermal degradations of PVC and WPVC were moderated. Under thermally aged condition at 177oC, the additions of thermal stabilizer could decrease the increase in yellowness index (YI) and discoloration at different ageing times. In this work, MT was found to be the most suitable and promising stabilizer for PVC and WPVC composites, considering the polyene and carbonyl contents, Td, the shift of derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) curves, and changes in YI value and visual color.

Authors: Acharya Samir Kumar , Mishra Punyapriya , Mehar Suraj Kumar
Published: June 2023

Bagasse is a by-product of the sugarcane milling process, and it also is an important fuel resource for that industry. In this study an attempt has been made to utilize this by-product to prepare a composite using epoxy resin. The fibers surface was modified by alkali treatment with 5% NaOH solution for 0, 2, 4 and 6 hrs. The effect of fiber surface modification on the mechanical properties such as flexural strength of the composites was investigated with the fibers as received from the milling process. It was found that alkali-treated bagasse/epoxy composites significantly improved the flexural strength of the composite. An SEM investigation also indicated that the surface modifications improved the fiber–matrix interaction.

Published: June 2023

Dynamic supply and demand equations for particleboard using a three-stage squares simulation (3SLS) were estimated. Empirical data included annual observations over the period of 1976 to 2006. The stationary character of the data was checked by applying the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) Test. The results revealed that in the demand function, variables such as particleboard price, the gross national product (GNP) in the previous year (lagged quantity), and the MDF price were significant at 0.05%. In the supply function, variables such as the price of medium density fiberboard (MDF), demand for particleboard in the previous year, the product/raw material price ratio in the previous year, and particleboard imports in the previous year were shown to be significant at 0.05%. Also price, income, and cross elasticities of demand for particleboard were calculated as -0.65, 0.32, and 1.63, respectively, indicating that this commodity is a necessary and normal good and MDF is a substitute for it.

Published: June 2023

The aim of this work is to prove the suitability of a new alkaline and halo-tolerant bacterial laccase (SilA) produced by Streptomyces ipomoea CECT 3341 to enhance the conventional chemical bleaching process of an industrial eucalyptus kraft pulp. The laccase used for this study was a recombinant laccase obtained from cultures of E. coli BL21 (DE3) grown in LB liquid medium. The biobleaching experiment was carried out on Eucalyptus globulus kraft pulps using the above mentioned laccase and acetosyringone as natural mediator. Then, an alkaline extraction and further hydrogen peroxide steps were applied to evaluate the efficiency of the laccase-mediator system as a pretreatment in the bleaching sequences. Biobleached pulps showed a kappa number decrease and a brightness increase without decreasing the viscosity values significantly. Also, a reduction in the consumption of hydrogen peroxide was observed when the enzymatic treatment was applied to the pulp. CIE L*a*b* and CIE L*C* color coordinates measured in pulps demonstrated that among all treatments applied to pulps, the laccase-acetosyringone system presented the best optical properties even after an accelerated ageing process. Finally, it is also remarkable that during this treatment 64% of the laccase activity remained unaltered.

Published: June 2023

It is possible to improve cellulase production by controlling fungal morphology. Farnesol, the first quorum-sensing molecule found in eukaryotic organisms, is reported to influence the morphology of fungi. In this work, farnesol was investigated for its effect on morphology and cellulase production of Penicillium decumbens. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that farnesol promoted the growth of hyphae, making possible and facilitating a higher yield of cellulase secretion. Enhanced interaction with the substrate in fermentation led to greater cellulase production. These findings are associated with the subsequent cellulase production of the fungus. Compared with a control medium, exogenously added 1 mM farnesol resulted in 1.32-fold increase in maximal filter paper activity with no significant change in the activity per unit of protein. These results provide a novel way to improve the cellulase production, promoting the commercial application of cellulase.

Authors: Samariha Ahmad , Khakifirooz Alireza
Published: June 2023

The NSSC pulping process was investigated to produce pulp from bagasse for corrugating board manufacture. The chemical contents including cellulose, lignin, ash, and extractives soluble in alcohol-acetone measured 55.75, 20.5, 1.85, and 3.25, respectively. The average fiber length, fiber diameter, lumen width, and cell wall thickness of bagasse were 1.59 mm, 20.96, 9.72, and 5.64 μm, respectively. The optimum conditions, with a yield of 74.95%, were achieved using 20 percent chemicals on the basis of sodium oxide, cooking temperature of 170 °C, and cooking time of 30 minutes. Pulp was refined to freeness 345 and 433 mL CSF according to Canadian standards. 127 g m-2 handsheets from both pulps were made and strength properties measured. Statistical analysis of results indicated that paper derived from freeness 345 and 433 mL CSF had better strength properties in all indices in comparison with NSSC pulp from hardwoods produced at Mazandaran Pulp and Paper factory, Iran.
Kinetics and equilibrium studies of Cr(VI) metal ion remediation by Arachis hypogea shells: A green approach
Authors: Mahajan Garima , Sud Dhiraj
Published: June 2023

Arachis hypogea shells (ground nut shells), a lignocellulosic waste biomass, was evaluated for sequestering of Cr(VI) from synthetic wastewater. Arachis hypogea shells (AHS) were used in three different forms, viz. natural (AHSN), immobilized in the form of beads (AHSB), and in the form of activated carbon (AHSC). Batch experiments were performed for the removal of hexavalent chromium. Effects of pH adsorbent dose, initial metal ion concentration, stirring speed, and contact time were investigated. The removal of metal ions was dependent on the physico-chemical characteristics of the adsorbent, adsorbate concentration, and other studied process parameters. Maximum metal removal for Cr(VI) was observed at pH 2.0. The experimental data were analyzed based on Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherms. Kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption of metal ions followed a pseudo-second-order equation.
Radial variation of microfibril angle and wood density and their relationships in 14-year-old Eucalyptus urophylla S. T. Blake wood
Authors: Hein Paulo Ricardo Gherardi , Brancheriau Loic
Published: June 2023

The orientation of cellulose microfibrils in the cell wall along the stem axis has major effects on stiffness and longitudinal shrinkage and is of key importance in wood quality. The aim of this study was to investigate the radial variability of MFA and wood density (ρ) and their relationships in Eucalyptus urophylla wood. Three MFA values were estimated by X-ray diffraction at three points of each one of the 175 tangential sections, and the basic density was measured. A decrease of microfibril angles from pith to bark can be observed in most samples; however, some radial strips presented different patterns of variation. For basic density, a linear significant increase from pith to bark was confirmed. There was no significant correlation between microfibril angle and density. The relationships among the three MFA estimated on tangential sections of wood were strong. The “curvature effect” due to the growth rings had a negligible effect on the three measurements of tangential sections cut near to the pith. This study showed that a single T value measurement by X-ray diffraction, preferably at the centre of the tangential section, is precisely sufficient to estimate the mean MFA of Eucalyptus urophylla wood.
Preparation and characterization of conductive paper via in situ polymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene
Authors: Chen Yu , Qian Xueren , An Xianhui
Published: June 2023

Conductive paper was prepared via in situ chemical oxidative polymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) in pulp suspension by using iron(III) p-toluenesulfonate (Fe(OTs)3) as both an oxidant and a dopant source. The deposition of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) on the pulp fiber surface was verified and characterized by ATR-FTIR and SEM analyses. The factors affecting the conductivity of the PEDOT-coated paper were investigated, and the preparation conditions of the conductive paper with a low resistivity and excellent environmental stability was obtained. The optimum reaction temperature and time were 60 °C and 4 h, respectively. The molar ratio of EDOT to Fe(OTs)3 of 1:1 was optimal when considering both cost and performance factors. The conductivity of the PEDOT-coated paper could be controlled by adjusting EDOT concentration. The threshold concentration of EDOT was about 3 g·L-1, and a volume resistivity as low as 5.9103 Ω·cm could be achieved, which reached the conductivity range of an electrical conductor. The environmental stability of the PEDOT-coated conductive paper was very good due to the much higher oxidation potential of PEDOT.
Emotion-based communication: the specifics of fear and hope tactics

Published: June 2023

Relevance and problem of the topic. Transmitting accurate information in the most appropriate way is an important today’s need. (Singh, Rai, et al., 2021, p. 2052). Authors Del Valle, 2021; Woodcock, 2018; Jakubanecs et al., 2019; Andrews et al., 2014; Kim et al., 2021; Gravante and Poma, 2021, states that emotional communication is often used to send a message from the sender to the recipient in a clear and compelling way, emotional communication is also used to establish an emotional connection, persuade, create associations, build loyalty, encourage desired consumer behavior. According to Dembek (2016, p. 117), emotions are separated from consumers, adjusted to become unique to the desired brand image (e.g., Coca-Cola), and then passed on to consumers in the hopes of reconciling their emotional state with marketing goals.Problems. Fear and hope tactics are quite often used as marketing and communication tools to influence an audience. It is important to understand the specifics of these communication tactics because not having enough knowledge about the reaction of recipients to these emotions, can have the opposite effect: cause adverse reactions, cause reputational crises, psychological, social, and financial losses. Properly selected communication can help companies achieve a competitive advantage in the markets, create greater added value, help shape the desired behavior of communication recipients, and predict the impact of communication on recipients.The problem analyzed in this article can be defined by the following questions: Which communication tactics, based on the emotion of fear or hope, should communication professionals use? What are the specifics of hope and fear communication tactics? What effects can they have?The objective of the research is the specifics of fear and hope tactics in communication.The object of the article is to review and analyze communication tactics based on fear and hope.Tasks:1. To analyze the fear tactic in communication.2. To review the tactic of hope in communication.Methods: Comparative theoretical analysis and synthesis of the literature, generalization.

Authors: Hoffmann Petr , Cyrany Jiri , Kopecky Jindrich , Hoffmannova Martina , Ryska Pavel , Hulek Michal , Dvorak Petr
Published: June 2023

Background and Aims: Despite the undeniable ongoing development of cross-sectional imaging methods, not all focal liver lesions (FLLs) have a typical pattern. An image-guided biopsy using a percutaneous approach might safely provide a final histological diagnosis of the FLLs. We aimed to evaluate the accuracy, efficiency, complication rate, technical features, and relationships between the followed parameters of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous biopsies of FLLs using a retrospective approach.

Methods: 303 percutaneous biopsy procedures in 295 patients were carried out in patients with suspected or indeterminate FLLs over a 10-year period. The median size of the tumors was 44 mm (15 - 144 mm). Median age of patients was 67 years (25 to 87 years). Skin-to-lesion distance was variable, from 30 mm to 138 mm (median length 59 mm). In 200 procedures (66%) malignant disease was known from the patients´ clinical history.

Results: In 288 biopsies (95%) the results were true positive or true negative; 15 procedures (4.95%) resulted in a histologically false negative and had to be confirmed using other approaches. Metastatic disease to hepatic parenchyma of various origins was the most frequent histological diagnosis (55.4%). Cholangiocarcinoma was the most common individual result (13.5%). In total 14 complications (4.6%) were confirmed, 4 of which were severe haemorrhages that needed angiographic treatment and in one case surgical revision. The mortality rate in our group was 0.3%. A statistically significant relationship between lesion size and diagnostic accuracy (p < 0.01) was revealed. The use of a 16 G needle calibre and at least two samples were suitable for hypo- and hypervascular lesions without a significant increase in the complication rate.

Conclusions: Core needle biopsy using a percutaneous approach and a CT-guidance performed on patients with indetermined FLLs had a high overall accuracy in determining the final histological diagnosis including subtyping. Concurrently, the complication incidence was low.

Authors: Liu Haonan , Yu Qianqian , Gu Ting , Qu Pengfei , Ma Xiao , Zhou Shuang , Lu Tong , Pan Di , Han Zhengxiang
Published: June 2023

Aims: To compare the effectiveness and safety of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with apatinib plus camrelizumab (TACE+AC) versus TACE combined with apatinib alone (TACE+A) for patients with advanced HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV–HCC).

Methods: The clinical data of patients with HBV–HCC who received either TACE+AC or TACE+A treatment were retrospectively analyzed. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and adverse events (AEs) were compared between the two groups. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model regression analysis was used to identify the independent prognostic factors of OS.

Results: Between March 2019 to January 2022, 76 patients were assigned to the TACE+AC group (n = 37) and the TACE+A group (n=39). The median OS and PFS in the TACE+AC group were significantly longer than those in the TACE+A group (OS, 15.4 vs. 11.3 months; p=0.008; PFS, 7.4 vs. 5.1 months; p=0.001) and the ORR and DCR in the TACE + AC group were significantly greater than those in the TACE+A group (ORR, 43.2% vs. 20.5%; p=0.033; DCR, 67.6% vs. 43.6%; p=0.036). There was no significant difference in the incidence of grade ≥3 AEs between the two groups (p=0.483). Multivariate regression analysis identified the treatment modalities, AFP level, and extrahepatic metastasis as independent prognostic factors (p<0.05). Conclusion: TACE+AC significantly improved the clinical outcomes of patients with HBV–HCC and elicited relatively controllable AEs.
Factors Affecting Performance of DNA Methylation as a Potential Biomarker in Ascites for Peritonitis and Peritoneal Carcinomatosis
Authors: Bose Katrin , Scurt Florian G , Thon Cosima , Franke Sabine , Schulz Christain , Malfertheiner Peter , Link Alexander
Published: June 2023

Background and Aims: Despite limited sensitivity, the gold standard for the diagnosis of malignant cells in ascites is still cytology. The aim of this prospective proof-of-principle study was to evaluate DNA methylation as a molecular tool for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant ascites.

Methods: A cohort of 79 patients with malignant and non-malignant ascites was prospectively enrolled. Ascites was assessed by cytopathological and laboratory examination. Cell pellets obtained by centrifugation were analyzed for differences in DNA methylation of of long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1) and microRNA-137. Quantitative determination of methylation in bisulfite-converted DNA was performed by pyrosequencing. In a subsequent stage, we compared our data to previously published data in the field following systematic review of the literature.

Results: Methylation status of studied LINE-1 and microRNA-137 could be reliably detected in all samples. Systematic evaluation revealed reliable reproducibility with satisfactory short- and long-term stability against degradation. Ascites from patients with a malignancy had a significantly higher methylation level of microRNA-137 compared with patients without tumor disease, whereas patients with peritonitis had significantly decreased methylation of microRNA-137. In contrast, differences in the measurement of the methylation status of LINE-1 could only be detected between patients with portal hypertension and a combination of malignant and infectious ascites. Inflammatory cells reflecting peritonitis correlated to DNA methylation changes.

Conclusions: Analysis of DNA methylation in ascites is technically feasible, well reproducible and may lead to identification of potential biomarkers for peritoneal carcinomatosis and other conditions. Inflammatory cells due to peritonitis may also be associated with DNA methylation changes and need to be considered in future studies. Profiling studied under standardized conditions will be needed to identify the appropriate biomarkers for differential diagnosis of ascites.

We determined the effects of oxytocin (OT) and prostaglandin F2α analogue (PG) added to extended boar semen on the duration of artificial insemination (AI) and reproductive performance of pigs bred in July and August (temperate climate of Central Europe). Eighty gilts and second parity sows (G+SP) and sixty-four multiparous sows (M) were divided into three groups. Group OT (11 G+SP and 37 M) and group PG (20 G+SP and 28 M) were artificially inseminated twice (at the onset of estrus and 22–24 h later) using extended semen supplemented with 20 IU of OT or 5 mg of PG, respectively. Thirty-three G+SP and 15 M served as controls (C) inseminated with non-supplemented semen. The mean duration of the first AI was shorter (P<0.05) in M compared with G+SP females inseminated with PG-supplemented semen (80±22 s vs. 191±26 s, respectively), whereas the second AI was shorter (P<0.05) in M than in G+SP artificially inseminated with OT-supplemented semen (93±15 s vs. 192±28 s). The mean pregnancy rate was lower (P<0.05) in C G+SP (26/33; 85%) compared with OT G+SP females (11/11; 100%). The OT M females had more (P<0.05) stillborn piglets per litter compared with their G+SP counterparts (0.8±0.1 vs. 0.1±0.3). In summary, the addition of PG was associated with shorter first AI times in multiparous sows compared with G+SP, but with lower farrowing rates in younger animals. Oxytocin supplementation was associated with a shorter second AI and higher pregnancy rates in young females, but more stillborn piglets per litter in older sows.
Obraz Czechosłowacji w przekazie Polskiej Kroniki Filmowej w latach 1945–1956
Authors: Bláha Renata
Published: June 2023

The image of Czechoslovakia in PKF is hardly surprising or original. It was drawn using a style completely subordinated to propaganda purposes, and the portrait of the Czech state authorities was no different from dignitaries in communist Poland. Even the most laconic text of the PKF commentary was filled with cliché propaganda slogans, and trivial events, such as the minister’s visit, were exaggerated using socialist realist pathos. Changes can be noticed in the narrative of PKF in the period 1945–1956. The 1940s are characterized by the language of the Cold War, while the topics of PKF in the 1950s were enriched with reports from cultural life, which made the style of PKF’s comments easier to understand, often even humorous.

Zdravstvujtě, Zeman Zemanovič – rusismy v kontextu české politiky
Authors: Caldrová Anna
Published: June 2023

In the course of history, Russian words have entered the Czech language with varying intensity and have fulfilled different functions. However, apart from a few dozen established adoptions, they have tended to disappear from the active vocabulary. Despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that they are often relegated to the linguistic periphery, Czech politicians and political commentators reach for them. They use them very creatively as satirical or even derogatory references. It is more than likely, however, that with the gradual retirement of this generation from active political life, these russicisms will disappear from our headlines for good.

О понятиях героизма в славянских языках: русские и сербские параллели
Authors: Пурич Александр , Хмелевский Михаил
Published: June 2023

The European schprachund often uses well-known established translingual internationalllisms expressing common concepts, which occasionaly replace already existing cognates with similar or identical definitions. The most shining example is the Greek word ἥρως, which took root in most European languages (fr. Héros, eng. hero, it. Eroe, etc) and have mainly penetrated Eastern-Slavic languages via Polish. The Russian language is not an exception here, especially considering the fact that the unprecedented text of Mihail Lermontov “A Hero Of Our Time” obtained more associative culturological value for those versed in Russian culture than folkloric plots from “The Three Bogatyrs”. They became a definitive way to express the first concept despite the parallel coexistence of the words богатырь and ἥρως in different geographical areas. Even nowadays, words with the same roots are used in Turkic, Mongol and even Western-Slavic languages. Some Slavic languages, during the process of their formation, enriched their vocabulary by preserving synonyms with the same roots, especially the Serbian language, where the Serbian semantic analog јунак and the Turkic делија are more often used than the Greek херој. According to the axiom, every synonym has its own message in the genuine culturologic context, in this paper, we will analyze the deep etymologic semantics of these words in a culturological way, their distinctions and differences from their initial semantic roots, whose meaning has motivated the formation of their own national and Slavic concepts in the context of the lexico-semantic group “hero”.

The subject of analysis in this study were four European television adaptations of Stefan Zweig’s Chess Story (also known as The Royal Game): Hungarian Sakknovela (1959) directed by Zoltán Várkonyi, Czechoslovak Šach mat (1963) by Alfréd Radok and two TV dramas realized according to the screenplay Královská hra by the famous Czech author Jiří Hubač: from 1980 in Czech language and from 1999 in Slovak. Using the elements of the neoformalist concept, we compared individual adaptations in relation to Zweig’s prototext and analysed connecting motifs and mutual differences, including a different dominant in several audiovisual transformations of the same literary narrative.
Literárnokritické myslenie Pavly Maternovej (cez prizmu kvalitatívnej analýzy literárnokritických príspevkov v periodiku Ženský svět)
Authors: Vangorová Martina
Published: June 2023

The balance of cognitive and affective elements of evaluation was a typical sign of Pavla Maternova's literary critical poetics. Her literary critical thinking reached the level of apperception and thanks to the cognitive skills of this level P. Maternova analyzed and evaluated literary texts of various national literatures using professional procedures. She was able to eloquent popularize her professional evaluation point of view, thanks to which she formed readers – percipients, in whom she supported critical reading and thinking. In the process of combining different levels of cognitive skills, P. Maternova's literary critical poetics manifested itself in several algorithms of thinking - deductive procedure, text framing, reception arc.
Теория литературных родов и жанров в романтизме в казахской литературе
Authors: Жаксыбергенова Томирис
Published: June 2023

Kazakh literature has come a long way, undergoing transformations lasting more than a century. The territory on which the works were created goes far beyond the boundaries of the modern territory of Kazakhstan, including the era of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, the times of the Russian Empire, and the Kazakh Khanate. In this regard, we can say that Kazakh literature has absorbed the features of many cultures and traditions. In the 15th - 18th centuries, the romanticism of Kazakh literature was based on situational and everyday models, as a result of which it acquired the features of realism; the approximation of its characteristics to Western models began relatively recently. At the beginning of the formation of literature, the creators concentrated on epics, but when, having adopted the features of Western and Russian culture, they began to master new forms, it became obvious that Kazakh culture is very susceptible to further transformations and stages, and unusual "steppe" romanticism can be easily expressed in other genres of literature.
О переводе собственных наименований в мультсериале The Penguins of Madagascar на русский и польский языки
Authors: Лукосек Мария
Published: June 2023

This article analyses the translation of proper names appearing in the animated TV series The Penguins of Madagascar into Polish and Russian. In the first part there was given not only a brief characteristic of the TV series but also a definition of the proper name. The collected material was analysed according to the classification proposed by K. Hejwowski, who distinguishes anthroponyms, toponyms, chrematonyms and ideonyms. We have paid a particular attention to anthroponyms, which are the most prominent among the listed categories and among which there have been observed different ways of translation. In the article’s summary there are presented final conclusions connected with the translators' chosen strategy – domestication or forenisation – and its impact on the final shape of the animated series The Penguins of Madagascar.
Masdevallia leonor-baeziana (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae): new species from the Andean-Amazonian foothills of Caquetá, Colombia
Authors: Perdomo Oscar , Trujillo Trujillo Edwin , Karremans Adam
Published: June 2023

We describe and illustrate a new species of Masdevallia from the Andean-Amazonian foothills of Caquetá, Colombia. Masdevallia leonor-baeziana belongs to Masdevallia subsect. Saltatrices, within the M. constricta group. It is most similar to M. constricta, but it can be distinguished by the shorter sepals and sepaline tails that do not surpass the tube length, and the shorter, sigmoid-ovate lip. We proposed categorizing the species as Critically Endangered (CR) based on the B and D IUCN red list criteria.

Published: June 2023

Pinalia elata is an attractive endemic species of Peninsular Malaysia, known from only six localities within the Titiwangsa mountain range where it is confined to montane vegetation. However, four of these localities are now threatened by anthropogenic factors, raising concerns about the ongoing survival of this endemic species in the wild. Despite efforts to understand the conservation status of Malaysian orchid species, there remains much work to be done, particularly for endemic species confined to remote and mountainous areas. Therefore, this paper provides a detailed morphological description, photographic illustrations for easy identification of the species, and a conservation assessment based on the IUCN Classification Criteria. Morphologically, P. elata can be easily distinguished from the other Pinalia species in Peninsular Malaysia by its erect inflorescences with well-spaced, closed flowers along the apical half, subtended by prominently large purplish-brown bracts. The flowers resemble buds with the labellum hidden by the petals and sepals. A preliminary risk-of-extinction assessment categorizes P. elata as critically endangered, CR A2acd C2a(i) D, according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.
A középfokú oktatási ingázás vizsgálata Magyarországon a 2010-es években
Authors: Apáti Norbert , Pénzes János
Published: June 2023

A középfokú oktatási ingázás fontos szerepet tölt be az oktatás rendszerében
hazánkban. Vizsgálatunk során három időmetszetben (2013, 2016 és 2019) elemeztük
az ingázási hálózatokat, amely során az intézményi adatokat településekre
összesítettük. Az ingázás csökkenő értékeiben közrejátszanak a demográfiai
folyamatok és a hazai oktatáspolitika hatása (a tankötelezettségi korhatár
csökkentése). Ez a csökkenés azonban elsősorban a vidéki és elmaradott
térségekben jelentkezett, ugyanakkor a nagyvárosok agglomerációs térségeiben
intenzív és bővülő ingázási övezeteket lehet megfigyelni.
„A sorsunk közös.” Falvak és iskolák
Authors: Andl Helga
Published: June 2023

A neveléstudományi, szakpolitikai és pedagógiai-szakmai viták időről időre
felbukkanó témája a (falusi) kisiskola, leginkább fenntarthatósága,
előnyei-hátrányai kerülnek fókuszba. Tanulmányunk elsőként azokat a hazai
történéseket, oktatáspolitikai irányokat tekinti át, melyek alapvetően
befolyásolták az alapfokú intézményhálózat, főként falusi, alacsony
tanulólétszámmal működő intézmények helyzetét. Az írás második része egy
esettanulmány, ami két kistelepülés oktatást érintő összefogását mutatja be, ami
az ezredforduló előtt indult annak érdekében, hogy mindkét faluban fennmaradjon
az általános iskola. Az esettanulmány vizsgálja, hogy az iskolát körülvevő
aktuális társadalmi és oktatáspolitikai környezet miként befolyásolta a
működést, hangsúlyosan kitérve arra, hogy az új – állami – fenntartói
struktúrában hogyan találta meg a helyét, és a településeknek, a helyi
közösségeknek és vezetőinek milyen szerepük van a helyi érdekek
érvényesítésében.
A szakképzés intézményi ellátottsága és fejlesztési lehetőségei
Authors: Malatyinszki Szilárd , Katona Zoltán
Published: June 2023

A szakképzési rendszer 2020-as átalakításával az ágazati képzések elérhetősége
vált meghatározóvá, mert ezeken belül a szakmaválasztás már rugalmasabban
megvalósulhat. A gazdasági szervezetek működése természetszerűen függ a
rendelkezésre álló tárgyi, anyagi, infrastrukturális és humán erőforrások
mennyiségétől és minőségétől. Kutatásunk két irányt tár fel. Bemutatjuk a
szakképző intézmények területi elhelyezkedését, fenntartásuk sokféleségét.
Második irányunk a szakképzési centrumok, agrárszakképzési centrumok működését,
a gazdasági szférával való együttműködésüket helyezi fókuszába. Fontosnak
tartjuk, hogy az egyes ágazati képzések elérhetővé váljanak azon térségekben,
melyekben prosperál az adott térség gazdasága. Célunk az ágazatok
elérhetőségének térségi bemutatása és ezek kapcsolata a területen sikeres
ágazatokkal. Kutatásunkban statisztikai elemzéssel és mélyinterjúkkal adunk
választ a kérdésekre.
La poética de la falta y el derroche de los desposeídos: una aproximación a César Vallejo
Authors: Martínez-Cabrera Erika
Published: June 2023

Lo precario es, en Vallejo, una instancia que atraviesa el orden de la subjetividad. ¿Pero qué tiene esta de distintivo? Frente a la fortaleza del yo libre, está fundada sobre la vulnerabilidad. Frente a la lógica de la acumulación, se define por su carestía. Frente a la depuración de la vanguardia deshumanizada, proclama su radical contingencia. Es una subjetividad que hace y deshace su propia humanidad en la multitud inestable del mundo, en la avalancha de lo que existe. El presente artículo analiza las particularidades del sujeto precario y el flujo salvaje de lo particular en la lírica vallejiana y más específicamente en Trilce, atendiendo a su propuesta de una poética de la falta. En su desarrollo, se realiza un análisis comparativo con el proyecto lírico de José Moreno Villa, para terminar atendiendo a su contracara político-estética: lo que hemos denominado como el derroche de los desposeídos.
La (r)evolución de los tópicos: lecturas del «locus amoenus» y el «beatus ille» en la poesía española actual
Authors: Bagué-Quílez Luis
Published: June 2023

Este artículo aborda la reinterpretación de dos tópicos grecolatinos (locus amoenus y beatus ille) en la poesía española reciente. Si el locus amoenus se ha considerado el modelo de las representaciones del paisaje idílico desde la Antigüedad clásica, el beatus ille se erige en el paradigma de una existencia austera, ajena a las vanidades de la vida pública. Escritos a finales del siglo XX y comienzos del XXI, los textos analizados demuestran que la rentabilidad de ambos tópicos depende de su capacidad de adaptación al medio, mediante estrategias de reubicación estética y dislocación irónica. En efecto, el locus amoenus y el beatus ille proceden de la tradición literaria, atraviesan el contexto histórico e interactúan con la identidad contemporánea. De un modo más general, se defiende que las expectativas asociadas a los topoi naturales pueden reactivarse en la sociedad actual de acuerdo con nuevas necesidades expresivas, convenciones culturales y aproximaciones ecológicas.
La interpretación del discurso reproducido como fuente de conflicto en conversaciones familiares
Authors: Sanmartín-Sáez Julia , Albelda-Marco Marta
Published: June 2023

En este artículo se analiza un patrón discursivo, considerado, a modo de hipótesis, como recurrente en conversaciones conflictivas entre personas con estrecha relación vivencial. El patrón se encuentra formado por un intercambio mínimo de dos intervenciones. La primera intervención consiste en un ataque argumentativo basado en la reproducción e interpretación del discurso previo del interlocutor para desacreditarle. Su destinatario reacciona, en la segunda intervención, expresando desacuerdo hacia la interpretación que se ha hecho de sus palabras, las rechaza y corrige.

El estudio se sitúa en el marco del Análisis del Discurso y del Análisis Conversacional y toma como corpus 13 conversaciones familiares. Los resultados muestran un patrón con diversas variantes que tiende a replicarse durante varios intercambios al alimentar el conflicto. También se observa que la mayor parte de actos de habla realizados son reproches, acusaciones y críticas, y que los hablantes manifiestan su supremacía epistémica, lo que también aviva el conflicto.

A pre-competitive research on frozen gnocchi: quality evaluation and market survey
Authors: Stasi Antonio , Baino Antonietta
Published: June 2023

This research was aimed to evaluate quality and safety of five formulations of gnocchi, namely, traditional, tomato-basil, pumpkin, spinach, with cauliflower pieces, and stuffed with cheese, to be marketed in a frozen state. An online survey was performed to assess the consumer desires and willingness to buy these new products in order to assess consumer preferences and targets and verify whether fresh and frozen gnocchi could become market substitutes or complements. The results highlighted that frozen gnocchi were a good product under different points of view and characteristics of an ideal consumer.
