Memoria storica, memoria letteraria e critica del presente nel Doktor Hoechst di Robert Menasse
Authors:   Università di Pisa, Italia (francesco.rossi@unipi.it), Rossi Francesco
Published: June 2023

"Doktor Hoechst by Robert Menasse (staged in 2009 and published in 2013) is a “Faust-Play” (subtitle) dense with references and allusions to Goethe’s Faust, whose purpose is not so much to provide a contemporary reinterpretation of the Faustian myth, but rather a Faustian interpretation of contemporaneity. This contribution will investigate the convergences that arise between this reinterpretation, charged with tensions with the present, and the theme of memory – a memory that, although it does not belong to the source text, is overwritten on it, reactivating some essential meanings."
Mito e storia in Medusa (2012) di Ricardo Menéndez Salmón
Authors:   Università della Tuscia, Italia (g.fiordaliso@unitus.it), Fiordaliso Giovanna
Published: June 2023

"Published in 2012, Medusa is the fifth novel by Ricardo Menéndez Salmón, a young Asturian author and an important novelist in the panorama of contemporary Spanish literature. Although the novel plot would seem quite simple – a PhD candidate is writing a thesis on the iconography of evil in the 20th century and ends up reconstructing the biography of Prohaska, a young German who, thanks to his passion for drawing and photography, becomes a propagandist of the Nazi regime – the work results from a complex stratification of different genres and levels of reading, such as the narration of the main historical events in the 20th century; the reflections about existence and the characteristics of human nature; the value of the written word, literature and art as a manifestation and expression of a reality in which time and its passage are essential, captured and therefore communicated to catch the essence of memory and its legacy."
Forward to the Past: la sfida della Storia in Machines Like Me di Ian McEwan
Authors:   Università di Pisa, Italia (roberta.ferrari@unipi.it), Ferrari Roberta
Published: June 2023

"In his novel, Machines Like Me (2019), Ian McEwan offers an interesting example of “alternate history” while dealing with crucial ethical issues connected with the development of Artificial Intelligence. Instead of setting his story in the future, the author chooses to set it in the past, but he radically changes the contours of the latter. Hence, the England of the early 1980s is turned into a technologically advanced society, well ahead of the scientific progress of the early 21st century. Thus, the future casts its light on the past in what appears as a typically postmodernist mélange: besides mingling genres (from speculative fiction to uchronia), McEwan also performs an intriguing hybridization of fact and fiction. The paper intends to explore the rich historical dimension of the novel, which betrays the author’s interest in the reflection on history and on its narrativization – as well as its manipulation and/or contamination – within the literary text."
TAFSIR QS. LUQMAN VERSE 12; Study of Analysis of Tafsir of Nusantara By K.H. Bisri Mustofa And Quraish Shihab
Authors: Mentari Aswadan
Published: June 2023

This study is intended to explain the interpretation of QS. Luqman verse 12 is based on a comparative analytical study of the interpretation of the archipelago by K.H. Bisri Musthofa and Quraish Shihab. This research was made using the library study method. The results of this study show that the comparison between the interpretations written by Bisri Mustofa and Quraish Shihab is quite substantial. It has several similarities in the method and style of interpretation. In addition, there are several differences in the meaning of some words due to different sources of interpretation, the conditions of the community, and the time of the mufassir, which influenced his interpretation. This can happen because the pattern of these two interpretations is adab ijtima'i (social). Two different words interpret the word wisdom in this verse. Bisri Mustofa's interpretation only explains that Luqman received wisdom from Allah with a clear understanding of wisdom according to his view. Meanwhile, Quraish Shihab interprets wisdom as something that hinders. The point is that wisdom is something that, when used, can prevent and prevent damage or evil that will come and will create benefit. This difference occurs because of the two figures' thoughts and breadth of knowledge in understanding the meaning of a verse text of the Qur'an.
El vecindario sur, un difícil desafío para la Unión Europea
Authors:   Embajador de España, de la Cámara Manuel
Published: June 2023

En noviembre de 1995 la UE puso en marcha el llamado «Proceso de Barcelona» a fin de crear un espacio de estabilidad, prosperidad y desarrollo con su vecindario sur. Veintiocho años después, los resultados son decepcionantes: no hay una integración económica intrarregional; tampoco una resolución de los problemas políticos, económicos o medioambientales; existen más regímenes dictatoriales, tras una efímera «primavera árabe» que dio paso a «otoños autoritarios», así como brutales guerras civiles y grandes desplazamientos de población; además, se han intensificado viejos conflictos regionales. A ello se suma el cambio climático, que está teniendo efectos muy perturbadores. La UE (y, en general, Occidente) está perdiendo influencia en la región, mientras que otras potencias aumentan su presencia. Paralelamente, la guerra en Ucrania desvía la atención de esta área. Por todo ello, la UE debe hacer una profunda revisión de su política mediterránea.
Cinema as a subject of sociological analysis: features of modern cinematography
Authors: Martynenko T. S.
Published: June 2023

The article analyzes cinema as a subject of sociological analysis. Approaches to the conceptualization of the term “cinema” are considered, their specificity is revealed. Cinematography is presented as an art form, mass media and communication, a social institution, and an industry of the economy. The functions and role of cinema in society are highlighted.

Particular attention is paid to the features of modern cinematography, among which there are three main ones – the globalization of cinematography, the change in the model of film production and the serialization of cinematography. The positive and negative social consequences of the process of globalization in the field of cinema are highlighted. It is emphasized that the state, which can regulate and control the process of distribution of film products, acquires a special role in the era of globalization. The inequality in the field of film production is analyzed.

The article presents the characteristics of the modern film production model associated with a high level of competition in the film industry, as well as control in the field of protection of intellectual property rights. In modern cinema, it is common to expand storylines and create prequels, sequels, and crossovers. The reasons for this process are described, such as commercialization, unwillingness to take risks, focus on the mass consumer, and others. Serialization is considered as the third significant feature of modern cinema. The history of serialization, its main stages and their characteristics are presented. In conclusion, potential trajectories for the development of modern cinema are presented.
Imperial statehood as the basis for successful national development of Russia
Authors: Elishev S. O.
Published: June 2023

This article is devoted to the study of imperial statehood as a traditional form of statehood for Russia and the Russian people. The author of the article notes that in the minds of most Russians and residents of the Earth, the term “empire” is perceived with a pronounced negative connotation, which is a consequence of the dominant in science and mass consciousness, thanks to the activities of the media and propaganda, certain myths about empire and ideological attitudes.

Imperial states are usually identified either with a large power in their territorial possessions, or with a special type of state entities seeking constant territorial expansion, coupled with the merciless exploitation of “enslaved” peoples, i.e. with colonial powers, often to raise their status calling themselves “empires”.

Meanwhile, such ideas have nothing to do with reality. Classical empires are a special type of state entity dominated by the idea of   unity of society in the name of the common good. Different ethnic groups coexist peacefully in culture and customs, coexisting under the patronage and supervision of the core imperial ethnic group, while maintaining their traditional way of life, economic structures, the system of local self-government and often statehood.

The study of the phenomenon of “empire” is very important at present in the light of determining the prospects and vector for the further development of the Russian world, Russian society and statehood. For, as history shows, the fate of the empire is inseparable from the fate of the core imperial ethnic group, i.e. the Russian people. And in this sense, the empire is not only a tradition, but also the fate of Russia.
Bacterial flora varies throughout the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) gastrointestinal tract
Authors: Siddiqui Ruqaiyyah , Maciver Sutherland K. , Anuar Tengku Shahrul , Khan Naveed Ahmed
Published: June 2023

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to determine bacterial flora throughout the gastrointestinal tract of a saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) using 16S rRNA gene analysis.

ANIMALS

A convention on international trade in endangered species (CITES) of wild fauna and flora registered crocodile farm, provided a healthy male saltwater crocodile, Crocodylus porosus for this study.

PROCEDURES

Three samples were taken from the oral cavity, 3 samples from the proximal region of the small intestine (jejunum), and 3 samples from the distal part of the large intestine of the gastrointestinal tract of C. porosus were obtained using sterile cotton swabs. Next, swabs were placed in 15 mL sterile centrifuge tubes, individually, and kept on ice for immediate transportation to the laboratory. This was followed by 16S rRNA gene analysis using specific primers (341F-CCTAYGGGRBGCASCAG, and 806R-GGACTACNNGGGTATCTAAT). Amplicons were sequenced on Illumina paired-end platform, and bacterial gastrointestinal communities, the relative abundance of taxa, and principal component and coordinate analysis were performed.

RESULTS

The findings revealed that bacterial community structures from differing regions exhibited several differences. The number of observed bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) was 153 in the oral cavity, 239 in the small intestine, and 119 in the large intestine of C. porosus. The small intestine reflects the highest richness. In contrast, the large intestine exhibited the least richness of microbial communities. Relative abundance of taxa showed that Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes were dominant in all 3 sample sites. Pseudomonas differed in the oral cavity and the large intestine, with the latter exhibiting less distribution of Pseudomonas. Stenotrophomonas and Castellaniella were higher in the oral cavity, while the relative abundance of Comamonas and Salmonella was higher in the small intestine. Conversely, the relative abundance of Salmonella and Pannonibacter was augmented in the large intestine.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

For the first time, this study demonstrates the bacterial diversity along the segments of the gastrointestinal tract of C. porosus. Bacterial flora varies throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Although further studies using large cohorts are warranted; however, our findings suggest that microbiome composition may have the potential as a biomarker in determining the overall health and well-being of C. porosus.
Teachers of Swedish as a Second Language
Authors: Wedin Åsa , Straszer Boglárka
Published: June 2023

In this article, the professional role of teachers in Swedish as a second language (SSL) is explored. The study builds on interviews with six highly qualified SSL teachers. The content analysis of data focuses on what SSL teachers say about their professional identity; what opportunities there are for them to develop agency; and what changes they believe would give SSL teachers stronger voice. Findings show that the assignment of these teachers is difficult due to the everyday reality of the school environment in which they teach. In a situation where principals and subject teachers lack sufficient knowledge about L2 students, it is unrealistic to assume SSL teachers can lead the type of school development and organisational change that is required. That would necessitate a new type of role for SSL teachers, one in which the teacher is not only an expert on L2 students’ learning and educational needs, but also has training in issues of leadership.

Authors: Luswiantini Ni Nyoman Dian , Wrasiati Luh Putu
Published: June 2023

Jajanan tradisional merupakan warisan leluhur yang menjadi komponen penting dalam bidang kuliner Indonesia. Di Bali jajanan tradisional memiliki arti khusus dan menjadi salah satu bagian penting dari sesajen dalam upacara keagamaan. Salah satu jenis jajanan yang dikenal yaitu jaja samuhan, produsennya cukup banyak ditemukan di Desa Tunjuk, Kabupaten Tabanan, Bali. Pada proses pembuatan jaja samuhan masih banyak ditemukan produsen yang menggunakan pewarna sintetis yang dianggap lebih praktis oleh masyarakat. Penggunaan pewarna sintetis bertujuan untuk meningkatkan daya tarik konsumen, warna yang seragam, dan mengatasi perubahan warna selama penyimpanan. Penggunaan pewarna sintetiss pada makanan dapat memberikan dampak negatif bagi kesehatan jika dikonsumsi jangka panjang. Upaya dalam menghindari efek berbahaya tersebut, pewarna sintetis dapat digantikan dengan pewarna alamiah yang terbuat dari tumbuhan yang jauh lebih aman dikonsumsi dan mudah diperoleh dari alam. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan membandingkan warna jaja samuhan yang diberi pewarna sintetis dan diberi pewarna alami dari daun suji, bunga gemitir, bunga telang dan bugenvil.  Penelitian dilakukan di Desa Tunjuk, Kabupaten Tabanan. Pelaku pembuat jaja samuhan adalah ibu-ibu PKK di desa tersebut.  Hasil dari penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa nilai kecerahan (L), kemerahan (a) dan kekuningan (b) dari jaja samuhan dengan pewarna sintetis adalah (55,4± 0.1; 32,4± 0,2 dan 41.9± 0,2) nilai L, a dan b pada jaja samuhan dengan pewarna alamiah adalah (53,6± 0,3 ; 31,2± 0,1 dan 40,5± 0,2). Berdasarkan hasil tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa warna dengan bahan alamiah pada jaja samuhan mendekati warna dengan pewarna sintetis.

Published: June 2023

Learner autonomy is mandated to be developed by the newest Curriculum of 2013. This research explored the use of E-Portfolio to develop learner autonomy especially in the area of leaner involvement, reflection, and target language use. The mixed method design involving the quantitative and qualitative data was used in this research. The data itself was collected in the naturalistic settings of two vocational high school classes. The two classes were taken from the population which consisted of 440 participants. Inventory tests were specifically designed to measure changes in the participants both before and after a writing program applying e-portfolio documents was given. Meanwhile, document analysis was used to indicate the development of learner autonomy in writing. The results of the initial inventory test show that the profile of initial autonomy development of the population was moderate which indicates that the participants had not yet reached the optimum capacity to carry active involvement, reflection, and target language use in writing it means that a type of preventive intervention such as that of e-portfolio was needed. Whereas, the results of the intervention or experimental study and document analysis suggest that there was an improvement regarding the degree of learner autonomy development. In this case, the results indicated that the requirements of the e-portfolio for the participant to constantly use the target language may have possibly supported the initial autonomy development in writing, while the participants’ independence in deciding aspects of writing in the e-portfolio may play a role in supporting the constructs of learner autonomy especially in terms of learner involvement, and lastly, the segment of learner reflection provided in the e-portfolio may have a critical role to play in the subsequent learner autonomy development of the participants.

Published: June 2023

Although English has been taught for decades in Indonesia, the quality of multiple-choice question given to young learners was hardly examined. To touch on the issue, this study aims at determining the quality of 10 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) in a public elementary school in terms of difficulty level (P), discrimination power (D), and distractor efficiency (DE). This study employed a cross-sectional study to obtain information and evaluate MCQs in the students’ tests. It was found the multiple-choice items were efficient in which 80% of them have acceptable difficulty and 20% of them were fairly easy (P 70%). The discrimination index of 8 (80%) items was excellent and 2 of the MCQs were good. Among 40 distractors, 32 (80%) of them were functional distractors while 8 of them were non-functional distractors (NFDs). It can be concluded that most of the difficulty index was acceptable, the items discrimination power was good. In terms of distractor efficiency, two items were completely inefficient. Furthermore, MCQs that are considered poor should be revised, re-tested, and reviewed before incorporating them into the future test. This study hopefully encourages teachers to identify poorly developed MCQs and to improve their quality.
