Published: October 2021

This work aims to estimate the probability of bankruptcy of female entrepreneurs in Italy, particularly in the Campania region.

Women who run businesses always continue to be disregarded by banks when applying for a loan due to several problems including: the small size of their companies and the low number of employees.

The companies were selected by Aida. Through the T-test the probability of bankruptcy of male and female companies was compared, however, the variables that have the greatest impact on gender were examined with the regression model. It was found that, albeit slightly, female entrepreneurs have a lower probability of failure than their male counterparts.

Published: October 2021

Background. Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a developmental disorder which is reported to be associated with hip instability. When untreated, it can lead to irreversible joint damage. DDH is known to be a multifactorial disease involving genetic, mechanical and environmental factors. The greatest causative potential is attributed to the genetic component. Growth Differentiation Factor 5 (GDF5) is among the most studied genes associated with processes of regeneration and maintenance of joints. The aim of this work was to analyse the association of SNP rs143383 in the GDF5 gene and the occurrence of DDH, along with association with various contributing factors in the Caucasian population.
Material and methods. A total of 118 samples were analysed for the presence of the mutation. DNA was isolated from all individuals from peripheral blood. SNP rs143383 in the GDF5 gene was genotyped using the TaqMan assay. A standard chi-square test was used to compare allele and genotype distributions in patients and healthy controls.
Results. The association analysis of genotypes of DDH and rs143383 revealed a significant association. Also, the association of GDF5 and selected contributing factors was statistically significant in female gender (p=0.002), family history (p<0.001), count of pregnancy (p=0.009), laterality of hip involvement and initial US examination.
Conclusions. 1. The results indicate an important effect of rs143383 polymorphism in the GDF5 gene on DDH development. 2. However, our results also suggest that rs143383 is not the only contributing factor in the genetic component of DDH.

Objective: To investigate the effects of enzyme-bacteria co-fermented feed on broilers, the basal diet (BF) was pretreated by microbial enzyme co-fermentation, and then different proportions of BF were replaced to study its effects on growth performance, nutrient metabolism and cecal microflora of broilers.Methods: Four hundred and eighty 1-day-old broilers were randomly divided into 6 groups. The control group was fed with BF, and groups 1 to 4 were treated with dried fermented feed (DFF) instead of 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% the BF, and group 5 was treated with wet fermented feed (WFF) instead of 10% the BF, named BF, 10% DFF, 15% DFF, 20% DFF, 25% DFF, and 10% WFF, respectively. The trial period was 42 days.Results: The results showed that the average daily feed intake and average daily gain of 10% DFF, 15% DFF, and 10% WFF groups were significantly higher than those of the control group at 22 to 42 days and 1 to 42 days (p<0.05). Except for 10% DFF group, Firmicutes of all treatment were higher than that of control group. The Bacteroides of each treatment group were lower than that of the control group (p>0.05). At the same time, the nutrient apparent metabolic rate and cecal microbial abundance of each treatment group had an increasing trend (p>0.05).Conclusion: In conclusion, the feed fermented by enzyme and bacteria had a potential promoting effect on the growth performance and nutrient digestibility of broilers.
Mechanistic target of rapamycin and an extracellular signaling-regulated kinases 1 and 2 signaling participate in the process of acetate regulating lipid metabolism and hormone-sensitive lipase expression
Authors: Li Yujuan , Fu Chunyan , Liu Lei , Liu Yongxu , Li Fuchang
Published: October 2021

Objective: Acetate plays an important role in host lipid metabolism. However, the network of acetate-regulated lipid metabolism remains unclear. Previous studies show that mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) play a crucial role in lipid metabolism. We hypothesize that acetate could affect MAPKs and/or mTOR signaling and then regulate lipid metabolism. The present study investigated whether any cross talk occurs among MAPKs, mTOR and acetate in regulating lipid metabolism.Methods: The ceramide C6 (an extracellular signaling-regulated kinases 1 and 2 [ERK1/2] activator) and MHY1485 (a mTOR activator) were used to treat rabbit adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) with or without acetate, respectively.Results: It indicated that acetate (9 mM) treatment for 48 h decreased the lipid deposition in rabbit ADSCs. Acetate treatment decreased significantly phosphorylated protein levels of ERK1/2 and mTOR but significantly increased mRNA level of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL). Acetate treatment did not significantly alter the phosphorylated protein level of p38 MAPK and c-Jun aminoterminal kinase (JNK). Activation of ERK1/2 and mTOR by respective addition in media with ceramide C6 and MHY1485 significantly attenuated decreased lipid deposition and increased HSL expression caused by acetate.Conclusion: Our results suggest that ERK1/2 and mTOR signaling pathways are associated with acetate regulated HSL gene expression and lipid deposition.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the replacement of soybean meal by extruded whole soybean in the feeding of pigs in the nursery phase. Thirty-six piglets (Landrace x Large White), with 45 days weighing on average 11.36 kg, distributed in arandomized block design, three treatments, six replicates, two animals per repetition were used. The treatments consisted of: control treatment (T1) basal diet, basal diet with 10% replacement of soybean meal by extruded soybean (T2), basal diet with 20% replacement of soybean meal by extruded soybean (T3). The variables analyzed were: average weight, feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion. The levels of ureatic activity, ether extract, crude protein, protein solubility and volatile moisture of extruded soybean were verified. No difference was found (P>0.05) between the inclusion levels of extruded soybean in piglet diets in the nursery phase for the variables studied. The processing of extruded whole soybean did not affect its digestibility. Extrudedsoybeans at a level of up to 20% included in piglet feeding during the nursery phase can be a possible substitute for soybean meal, without compromising the performance of the animals.

Nutrition has a fundamental role in the production of beef cattle, directly interfering in the costs, productivity and profitability of the activity. In this sense, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the challenges, opportunities and advantages of the production of the entire cattle fattening diet on the Angico farm, in the municipality of Corumbá - Mato Grosso do Sul. Applied research was carried out as a way of studying case. In the 2017/2018 harvest, the farm's own production yielded 116 bags/hectare of corn, 40 bags / hectare of soybeans, 42 tons / hectare of silage sorghum and 72.5 bags/hectare of grain sorghum. All these ingredients were used in the feed of the feedlot animals. It was concluded that at the Angico farm, with the use of proper planting and management techniques, it was possible to overcome production barriers (adverse weather, attack by pests, diseases and wild animals), thus improving the efficiency of the enterprise. In addition, it was possible to recover degraded pasture areas and increase the farm's food independence by reducing the purchase of food from third parties and reducing costs per arroba produced with the animals' own food production.

Published: October 2021

The acquisition of high-quality seeds is essential to successfully implant areas with forage. However, to be commercialized, they must meet the minimum quality standards established by law. Inspections are necessary to guarantee the quality and identity of the commercialized seed. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the quality of tropical forage seed species collected in 2018, in the state of Mato Grosso. The survey was based on data from officers’ samples, in commercial establishments and fine consumers, collected during inspections conducted by the Agricultural Defense Institute of the State of Mato Grosso - INDEA-MT and subsequently analyzed by the Guilherme de Abreu Lima Seed Analysis Laboratory (LASGAL). Purity analysis, determination of other seeds by number (DOSN), germination test and tetrazolium test were carried out. The study showed that 75% of the analyzed samples reached the minimum requirements for commercialization in terms of physical purity; 95% of the samples were within the standard for physiological quality determined by law; and 91.9% did not exceed the maximum limits regarding the number of undesirable seeds present in a sample. In general, 36.1% of the total samples analyzed did not conform in some way to quality standards, therefore were not appropriate for commercialization.

This article is devoted to the analysis of prospect to apply multifunctional adaptive antenna systems for radio monitoring stations. The review of publications done demonstrates that current antennas that are developed and used in radio monitoring systems to control and measure the parameters of electromagnetic radiation should be applicable to conduct accurate measurements in wide frequency range under the condition of interferences. The analysis shows that modern adaptive antenna systems are mostly developed for radar and telecommunications applications. In this context we consider possible ways to solve the problem of adapting radio monitoring devices to a complex electromagnetic environment using antenna systems with primary processing of received signals . It was found that the developers of the antennas, which are based on adaptive interference suppression methods, focus basically on the development and implementation of adaptation processes, limiting themselves only to solving electromagnetic compatibility problems. In such approach, the functions of direction finding and measurement of radiation field parameters important exactly for radio monitoring systems are mostly ignored. Therefore, this research area opens up a wide field for identifying new possibilities for constructing multifunctional antenna systems. Focusing on this direction of research, we consider as an example the constraction of a simple two-element adaptive antenna system, which can be used to measure the parameters of the electromagnetic field in radio monitoring systems. The main relations for the error of determining the direction of arrival of the interference signal with a simple two-element antenna are investigated. The influence of the stability of the antenna array parameters and functional units of signal processing onto the errors is estimated.

Published: October 2021

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is the new network paradigm whose primary focus is to create a dynamic, scalable and flexible network. It provides programmable functions for implementation of network configuration management. The demand for wireless network functionality is rising simultaneously. Mobility management for a large network is an issue in Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). There are also a number of solutions to support mobility within the network. The Mobile Internet Protocol (MIP) is used for managing mobility. Furthermore, for the SDN platform, mobility adds roaming capability for mobile nodes in the software-defined wireless network (SDWN). In the wired scenario, SDN has different capabilities to deliver network services according to the fixed node. This study provides a quality of service (QoS) analysis in both SDN and SDWN. Mininet WiFi and RYU network emulator as a controller is used to implement the mobility API. The random walk model is applied as mobility functionality toward the final nodes. Moreover, several QoS measurement matrices are analyzed according to the network topology. At the end, round trip time (RTT), cumulative distributed function (CDF), packet loss and throughput are analyzed for quality of service comparable in the SDN and SDWN scenarios according to the MIP.

Multi Duty Cycle Scheduled Routing in Wireless Sensor Network-lifetime Maximization
Authors:   Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Keshav Memorial Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, Telangana, India, Dattatraya Patil Yogita , Agarkhed Jayashree , Patil Siddarama
Published: October 2021

Cluster-based protocols are best for applications that require reliability and a continuous functioning environment with a sustainable lifetime of WSN. The dynamic nature of the sensor node makes energy conservation a challenging issue. Sensor node scheduled based on sensing error for energy conservation compromise the accuracy of prediction. The high data accuracy achieved using a single duty cycle controller at each node with compromised throughput and increased routing overhead. Duty Cycle Controller managing a more number of control messages at the network level leads to control packet interference with data packet transmission, increasing packet drop and minimizing throughput. Also, the single-duty cycle controller at the network level leads to increased control overhead. The proposed multilevel cluster-based approach focuses on the appropriate cluster design, selection of cluster head, and sensor nodes scheduling based on sensing error. The proposed method applies a multi-duty cycle controller at each cluster level, and control messages handled are related to nodes in a cluster. Thus has less interference and packet drop leading to maximum throughput than existing methods. The simulation results demonstrated that the proposed method with sensor nodes scheduled at individual cluster levels using a multi-duty cycle controller exhibited improved network lifetime, throughput, and reduced energy consumption compared with the state-of-the-art techniques.

The article reflects the views of the authors on the method for the operational calculation of the indicator of the functioning of special-purpose information and telecommunication networks of the tactical level of control according to the criterion of "network availability". Improvement of weapons and military equipment, forms and methods of combat, as well as a change in views on command and control, put forward ever more stringent requirements for the information and telecommunication system in general and for its elements in particular. The problems of development, planning of combat use and operation of information and telecommunication networks of the tactical control level are their heterogeneity, since they use heterogeneous transmission systems (radio and wire) together. The characteristic features of the planning, deployment and operation of information and telecommunication networks of the tactical control level are a high degree of uncertainty in the characteristics of their functioning and the lack of initial data in planning, which necessitates the improvement of the methodological basis for conducting operational calculations. Based on the analysis of ITU-T recommendations, scientific publications and the practice of combat use of the defense forces, it becomes clear that the operational calculation of individual criteria and indicators of the functioning of information and telecommunication systems of the tactical control level needs to be improved, since these systems have their own characteristic features. The material presented in the article makes it possible to develop new approaches to solving the problem of a reasonable calculation of the required bandwidth of the access node of the information and telecommunications network of the tactical control link. The significance and value of this study lies in the fact that in the conditions of continuous improvement of the forms and methods of warfare, high dynamism of changes in the states of information and telecommunication systems of the tactical control level, the correct choice of the apparatus for assessing the decisions made should play a decisive role in shortening the deployment planning cycle and sustainable functioning of the system management.

Authors:   Faculty of Computer Science and Information Teqnology, Taif University, Taif, Saudi Arabia, AL-Harbi Norah , Bin Kamsin Amirrudin
Published: October 2021

Terrorist groups in the Arab world are using social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook to rapidly spread terror for the past few years. Detection and suspension of such accounts is a way to control the menace to some extent. This research is aimed at building an effective text classifier, using machine learning to identify the polarity of the tweets automatically. Five classifiers were chosen, which are AdB_SAMME, AdB_SAMME.R, Linear SVM, NB, and LR. These classifiers were applied on three features namely S1 (one word, unigram), S2 (word pair, bigram), and S3 (word triplet, trigram). All five classifiers evaluated samples S1, S2, and S3 in 346 preprocessed tweets. Feature extraction process utilized one of the most widely applied weighing schemes tf-idf (term frequency-inverse document frequency).The results were validated by four experts in Arabic language (three teachers and an educational supervisor in Saudi Arabia) through a questionnaire. The study found that the Linear SVM classifier yielded the best results of 99.7 % classification accuracy on S3 among all the other classifiers used. When both classification accuracy and time were considered, the NB classifier demonstrated the performance on S1 with 99.4% accuracy, which was comparable with Linear SVM. The Arab world has faced massive terrorist attacks in the past, and therefore, the research is highly significant and relevant due to its specific focus on detecting terrorism messages in Arabic. The state-of-the-art methods developed so far for tweets classification are mostly focused on analyzing English text, and hence, there was a dire need for devising machine learning algorithms for detecting Arabic terrorism messages. The innovative aspect of the model presented in the current study is that the five best classifiers were selected and applied on three language models S1, S2, and S3. The comparative analysis based on classification accuracy and time constraints proposed the best classifiers for sentiment analysis in the Arabic language.

Broadly cyberbullying is viewed as a severe social danger that influences many individuals around the globe, particularly young people and teenagers. The Arabic world has embraced technology and continues using it in different ways to communicate inside social media platforms. However, the Arabic text has drawbacks for its complexity, challenges, and scarcity of its resources. This paper investigates several questions related to the content of how to protect an Arabic text from cyberbullying/harassment through the information posted on Twitter. To answer this question, we collected the Arab corpus covering the topics with specific words, which will explain in detail. We devised experiments in which we investigated several learning approaches. Our results suggest that deep learning models like LSTM achieve better performance compared to other traditional cyberbullying classifiers with an accuracy of 72%.

Published: October 2021

A new species of epigean ricinuleid of the genus Pseudocellus Platnick, 1980 from El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, Chiapas, Mexico is described. DNA barcoding utilizing mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) and morphology were used for species delimitation. Molecular analyses and species delimitation included four methods: 1) General Mixed Yule Coalescent model (GMYC), 2) Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD), 3) Bayesian Poisson Tree Process (bPTP), and 4) Assemble Species by Automatic Partitioning (ASAP). All molecular methods and morphology were consistent in delimiting and recognizing the new species described herein. The average interspecific genetic distance (p-distance) among analyzed species of Pseudocellus was 11.6%. The species is described based on adult males and females: Pseudocellus giribeti sp. nov. This is the seventh species described from Chiapas, which holds the highest number of ricinuleids species for the country. The total number of described species of Pseudocellus from Mexico increases to 21, having the highest species diversity of known ricinuleids worldwide.
Accessibility of TV programs to persons with disabilities
Authors: Ćitić Tatjana
Published: October 2021

The most modern media systems in television program production and placement have the obligation of ensuring program accessibility to persons with disabilities. While in some countries this obligation is defined through a certain minimum of adapted content, in Serbia there is a set of media laws only indicating the necessity of care for persons with difficulty in following the television program. The basic thesis of this paper is how program accessibility, and thus increased social inclusion through media content, may be improved through the development and greater presence of the existing services (subtitle, sign language, audio-description), as well as through the introduction of new services, based on the capacities offered by digital technology and application of artificial intelligence in content production and placement. The statistics shows that at least one in eighteen persons in Serbia has difficulty in following TV program due to vision or hearing impairment and therefore, in the absence of the tools ensuring accessibility, these persons are unable to get information, education and entertainment from the television program.
The meaning of respect under varying context conditions
Authors: Schaefer Christoph Daniel , Zitzmann Steffen , Loreth Lukas , Paffrath Julian , Grabow Hilmar , Loewy Michael , Simon Bernd
Published: October 2021

The concept of respect figures prominently in several theories on intergroup relations. Previous studies suggested that the experience of being respected is primarily related to the feeling of being recognized as an equal, as opposed to social recognition of needs or achievements. Those studies focused, however, on either minority groups or ad hoc groups, thereby possibly giving equality recognition an advantage. This article extends previous findings by comparing societal groups situated in various contexts. We examined eight groups from four countries. We anticipated and found that the link between respect and equality recognition was stronger for groups that are in the position of minorities compared to groups associated with majorities. Owing to the moral and legal force of the norm of equality, disadvantaged minorities in particular might be able to improve their societal position by founding their claims on the equality principle. Need recognition, in contrast, was less influential for minority groups than for majority groups. While we observed these context-dependent variations, an internal meta-analysis showed that feeling recognized as an equal was, overall, the strongest indicator for feeling respected. This suggests that demands for respect could often be addressed by establishing relationships in society that are based on mutual recognition as equals, while the implications of achievement and need recognition should additionally be considered in specific contexts.

Inspirados no paradigma indiciário (GINZBURG, 2007) e no método biográfico (BOURDIEU, 2001), analisamos os usos e abusos da história do pianista Tenório Jr. no interior da memória e da historiografia sobre o jazz brasileiro dos anos 1960-1970. Morto em 1976 em plena ditadura argentina, a figura do músico foi acionada como símbolo da condição do jazz nacional naquele período. Cotejamos, assim, a vida e os discursos sobre Tenório, destacando, por fim, os desmembramentos históricos do instrumental brasileiro. Chegamos ao entendimento de que a trajetória do músico foi apropriada para fundamentar leituras distintas sobre a relação entre canção e música instrumental, gerando posições estético-ideológicas conflitantes. Fundamentados em dados empíricos, problematizamos essas narrativas e percebemos que as nuances da memória trágica de Tenório dão indícios, mas não determinam os rumos que o jazz e a música instrumental brasileira tomaram nos anos 70. Assim, concluímos que apesar dos traumas sofridos, esses estilos não “morreram” nos porões da indústria fonográfica. Antes, resistiram e se reinventaram.
Lições que a fênix nos traz: o eterno retorno
Authors:   Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP), Fonterrada Marisa Trench
Published: October 2021

Trata-se neste artigo das mudanças que ocorrem no mundo em diferentes épocas e discute-se a concepção de tempo mítico em relação ao tempo linear, como sugere Mircea Eliade, que vê na sociedade ocidental múltiplos exemplos do que ele denomina “eterno retorno”, isto é, a volta cíclica de fenômenos ocorridos em determinada época, a tempos posteriores. Como símbolo dessa ideia, traz-se a figura da fênix, pela sua capacidade de renascimento eterno. Pretende-se examinar alguns exemplos de educação musical ocorridas em diferentes momentos, esperando encontrar exemplos de retorno de antigas concepções de educação e de educação musical a outros lugares e tempos. No final, buscam-se exemplos de educadores musicais da atualidade por considerar suas atividades como respostas criativas à problemática vivida hoje e procura-se mostrar, também, que muitos dos procedimentos que eles adotam aproximam-se de concepções educacionais de épocas anteriores, de tal modo que torna-se difícil afirmar o que é realmente novo e o que é definitivamente antigo.
A pandemia cantada pelas crianças: composição coletiva de canções em aulas remotas na escola básica
Authors: Fragoso Daisy
Published: October 2021

Em diálogo com o campo da Sociologia da Infância, este artigo busca analisar as canções compostas por seis turmas de estudantes dos 3ºs aos 5ºs anos do Ensino Fundamental I de uma escola particular da cidade de São Paulo. Tais canções foram compostas no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19, que submeteu as crianças desta escola a aulas remotas. Valendo-se da música, entendida aqui como jogo, as crianças dão forma poética e musical à situação adversa pela qual estavam passando. As composições desses grupos lançam luz e provocam reflexões tanto sobre o fazer musical da infância, quanto sobre a maneira como estes meninos e meninas apreendem e (re)criam as relações que estabelecem e os contextos onde se inserem.

The Art of Modulating, Preludizing, and Fantasizing: Schenker’s Thoughts about Keys and Key Change Reconsidered
Authors: Koslovsky John , Brown Matthew
Published: October 2021

Although Heinrich Schenker certainly changed his mind about many topics, he never waivered in his belief that 1) current ways to explain modulation were fundamentally flawed; and 2) that modulation is best learned by improvising preludes and fantasies. To explain these points, Part I reconsiders Schenker’s critique of Max Reger’s Beiträge zur Modulationslehre (1903) and Salomon Jadassohn’s Die Kunst zu Modulieren und zu Präludieren (1890) and describes three types of modulation endorsed by Schenker in his Harmonielehre (1906): 1) [diatonic] reinterpretation; 2) chromaticism; and 3) enharmonicism. Part II then shows how Schenker not only dispensed with the traditional concepts of relative, close, and distant keys, but he eventually proposed that modulations arise at the foreground for contrapuntal, even motivic reasons. Finally, Part III uses Schenker’s claims about modulating and preludizing to analyze Beethoven’s “Two Preludes” in C major, Op. 39, both of which modulate “through all twelve major keys.”

Swirler geometry effects (dh/do ratio) on synthetic gas flames: Part 1: Combustion and emission characteristics
Authors: Yilmaz Harun , Cam Omer , Yilmaz Ilker
Published: October 2021

Swirling flows increase combustion performance via favouring flame stability, pollutant emissions, and combustion intensity. The strength of a swirling flow is characterized by a parameter known as swirl number, which is highly related to the dh/do ratio. In this study, effects of the swirler dh/do ratio on combustion and emission characteristics of the synthetic gas flames of premixed 20%CNG/30%H2/30%CO/20%CO2 mixture were experimentally investigated in a laboratory-scale swirl stabilized combustor. For this purpose, twelve different swirl generators were designed and manufactured. dh/do ratios of these swirlers were set as 0.30 and 0.50, and the geometric swirl number was varied between the values of 0.4 and 1.4 (at 0.2 intervals). All experiments were conducted at a fuel-lean equivalence ratio (ϕ = 0.6), room temperature, and local atmospheric conditions of the city of Kayseri, Turkey. A data logger was utilized to plot axial and radial temperatures and NOx, CO, and CO2 profiles, which were exploited to assess combustion and emission performance. Results showed that the dh/do ratio had a non-monotonic effect on the behaviour of combustion and emission of the tested synthetic gas mixture. Depending on the swirl number, increments and decrements were observed in temperature and emission values.
Piezoelectric ceramic for energy harvesting from ambient vibration
Authors: Zarog Musaab
Published: October 2021

Direct piezoelectric conversion is very popular in generating power from mechanical stress. There is continuous progress in power harvesting from mechanical vibration. In this article, experimental tests on a piezoelectric circular plate, to evaluate the electric power produced by the piezoelectric conversion at low acceleration over a wide range of ambient vibration frequency, are presented. The experimental analysis is presented and discussed. The results demonstrate the potentiality of using low-cost piezoelectric diaphragms to harvest energy from ambient vibration. Under low acceleration (5.36 m/s2), the vibration frequency was varied in the range of 10– 200 Hz and the generated power was measured. Under a very small dynamic force (less than 0.06 N), the output power of 1.5 mW was obtained with an 8.5 mm drum harvester across a load resistance of 17.8 kΩ at a frequency of 173 Hz.
The Oath as an Element of Juridical Culture in Early-Seventeenth-Century Courts of Samogitia
Authors: Vilimas Darius
Published: October 2021

The work is focused on the use of the oath in Samogitian land and castle court books at the beginning of seventeenth century. The oath was administered quite often and it was the fastest way to resolve one instance of litigation or another. According to the submitted examples of seventeenth-century court books, oaths were incriminating or exculpatory. Incriminating oaths (those of the plaintiff party) were more frequent. Administering an oath did not necessarily mean it would be fulfilled as they often ended in a reconciliation or postponement. Reconciliation under oath did not always mean that the defendant would be exempt from financial sanctions, which courts often imposed even after a formal conciliation. Partial oaths were also practiced: the oath would be divided into several segments and a person would swear to one segment of a charge and not to another. The postponement or withholding of oaths resulted not only from formal reasons but also from the desire not to err in hasty administration of justice.
Bread in Lithuanian Literature
Authors: Stepukonienė Inga
Published: October 2021

Bread is one of the most important cultural realities distinguished by its direct and symbolic significance. In Lithuanian folklore, there are clear direct connections between bread and the most important categories of national values: diligence, thoughtfulness, responsibility, kindness, and spiritual nobility. Bread symbolises strength, mind, self-control, loyalty, kindness, and humility. It was of immense sacral importance in the lives of our ancestors: it became the central element of numerous customs of family life, calendar rituals, agrarian celebrations, and was widely featured in Lithuanian folk songs, fairy-tales, tales, and beliefs. Bread has always been an important image in Lithuanian literature. A loaf of bread, a slice of bread, daily, wholemeal bread, the bread of life, mother’s bread are traditional images of Lithuanian poetry and prose, reflecting the reality of the nation’s life and at the same time visually drawing the hierarchy of the nation’s spiritual values. In the poem Metai (The Seasons), the pioneer of Lithuanian literature Kristijonas Donelaitis gives a vivid picture of the life of the serfs of Lithuania Minor in the eighteenth century, and his characters primarily address their thanks to God for giving people bread, the greatest grace of all. Since then, images of the worshiped daily bread have become stronger in literature, pointing to its vital importance. The image of holy bread takes root in Lithuanian twentieth-century poetry, perhaps most clearly meaningful in the work by Kazys Bradūnas, one of žemininkai, or the ‘earth’ poets. In his poetry, bread is associated with the meanings of the holiness of agricultural existence. In the poet’s work, bread is an important moment in the cosmogony of the microworld, symbolising rebirth and the higher moments of an individual’s existence. Such a poetic interpretation of bread is also characteristic of Sigitas Geda’s works. In the poetry of Justinas Marcinkevičius, Janina Degutytė, Alfonsas Maldonis, and Robertas Keturakis, bread becomes an important element in the poetic programme of goodness and is associated with the artistic meanings of human spiritual nobility, inner warmth, and love. In Lithuanian literature, bread emerges both as the great manifestation of the woman in traditional Lithuanian culture (Birutė Baltrušaitytė, Vanda Juknaitė) and as a symbol of harmony in dehumanised reality (Juozas Kundrotas). One of the most striking literary transformations of the artistic image of bread is its desacralisation in the works by Valdas Gedgaudas and the group “Svetimi” (Strangers). Here bread is interpreted as a symbol of chaos and disharmony between the human and the world. Thus, one of the most important realities of Lithuanian culture, the image of bread in Lithuanian literature, is changing; it reflects the worldview of the human of the epoch and his or her spiritual orientations and attitudes.
