A juventude negra eleva sua voz: Racionais MC’s e o negro drama da periferia brasileira
Authors:   , Ferreira Júnior Hernany Luiz Tafuri
Published: December 2024

Como objeto de pesquisa, escolhi para minha tese a obra do grupo brasileiro de rap Racionais MC’s. Formado na região conhecida como Capão Redondo, periferia da cidade de São Paulo, suas canções trazem o peso e a necessidade da denúncia das agruras enfrentadas pelos jovens negros e pobres, também moradores de comunidades, favelas e periferias – estendendo-se ao Brasil, não se fixando apenas àquela cidade – tais como o preconceito racial manifestado na quase completa ausência de oportunidades de trabalho, estudo etc; o quarteto escancara os diversos tipos de violência a que sua comunidade está sujeita – sendo a policial o braço estendido do Estado a marcar-lhes a carne. A desassistência do Estado transborda também por meio da relação daquela população com as drogas, seus anseios por consumo, caminhos lícitos e ilícitos também configuram temas para suas canções. Os rappers, em sua essência, mantêm relação umbilical com sua gente, cantando-a, sempre almejando elevar o moral de seus pares. Suas canções nascem intrinsecamente ligadas ao local em que vivem seus autores, carregando, em si, marcas desse espaço urbano – “comunidades”, “favelas”, “quebradas”. O cantar do rapper aproxima-se da fala, e suas canções, em sua maioria longas e direcionadas tanto a interlocutores que não pertencem a seu universo – governantes, polícia, burguesia etc – , quanto à juventude negra que tanto lhe importa: são narrativas que têm como propósito estraçalhar o status quo daqueles considerados responsáveis pela situação de precariedade pela qual passam/vivem os indivíduos “pertencentes” a tais localidades deixadas de lado pelo Estado.
Coleção Amores expressos: sexualidade na literatura contemporânea brasileira
Authors:   , Silva Jaqueline Lupi Seabra da
Published: December 2024

Por meio de um estudo multidisciplinar, esta pesquisa analisa a coleção Amores Expressos, sob a ótica da sexualidade, de forma mais ampla, e do gênero, mais especificamente. A metodologia utilizada incluiu leitura, anotações, pesquisa em outras fontes e materiais diversos, como revistas, histórias em quadrinhos, filmes e programas de televisão, além de textos literários para coleta de dados. Para a análise, nos concentramos na história da sexualidade, compreendendo os momentos em que o pensamento sexual social estava mudando nas sociedades ocidentais. O capítulo intitulado “Mulheres no divã” reflete sobre a realidade das mulheres em nosso meio, como o mercado de trabalho é organizado para elas, a violência que permeia seu cotidiano, sua sexualidade e os mitos que ajudam a compor a feminilidade. O capítulo intitulado “Homens na berlinda” investiga como os homens são construídos em sua própria masculinidade: colonialismo, guerra e esportes são instâncias sociais que projetam homens que não podem mostrar suas emoções, e como eles devem ser fortes e viris. O capítulo seguinte, “Todxs”, mostra brinquedos sexuais (bonecas, estátuas religiosas, robôs) e diversas outras práticas, como sadomasoquismo, ménage à trois, sexo anal, voyeurismo e pornografia. A pesquisa responde às seguintes questões: “a sexualidade retratada na coleção pode descontruir a heterossexualidade, ou melhor, reforçá-la?” e “a coleção traz novas estéticas e comportamentos sobre gays, lésbicas, transexuais, bissexuais? Ou sustenta os modelos construídos socialmente?”. Chegamos à conclusão de que a coleção Amores Expressos desconstrói parcialmente a heterossexualidade, pois apesar de apresentar minorias sexuais – mulheres, homossexuais, transexuais – esses personagens ainda sofrem violência, são estuprados ou assassinados no final das histórias (Perguntamos se isso poderia ser visto como uma espécie de denúncia). Por outro lado, é possível encontrar uma estética positiva em relação às minorias: há o relato de uma cena de sexo homossexual em que há poesia (em oposição ao nojo) e o fato da AIDS não ser mencionada (doença outrora apelidada de “Câncer gay”) também deve ser considerada. É possível concluir, assim, que a coleção Amores Expressos é centrada em cidades do mundo e a visão do homem heterossexual branco ainda é onipresente
A escrita das mulheres chicanas como ato transformativo: uma análise comparativa das ficções autobiográficas e autobiografias contemporâneas
Authors:   , Menezes Renata Rezende
Published: December 2024

As transformações na história da literatura e o desenvolvimento dos Estudos Culturais, com um novo olhar sobre as histórias silenciadas, têm levado a orientações diferentes daquelas que tradicionalmente eram atribuídas a essa área, propiciando a inclusão da mulher nos estudos históricos, literários e nas várias áreas do saber na contemporaneidade. A cultura chicana, fenômeno recente no cenário mundial, floresceu com “El Movimiento”, na década de 1960, representando a luta dos chicanos pela sua autoafirmação na sociedade estadunidense dominante. A literatura chicana, por sua vez, pode ser considerada um reflexo dessa luta iniciada nos anos de 1960, uma vez que se fundamenta no direito de uma expressão cultural própria. A partir da década de 1980, ocorreu uma eclosão da literatura das mulheres chicanas, expressando os problemas das chicanas em seus contextos específicos, independentemente dos cânones chicanos masculinos ou do feminismo anglo-estadunidense. O presente trabalho objetivou investigar e ratificar a construção da representação feminina de forma expressiva, a partir da perspectiva de o ato da escrita agir como possibilitador da fala das personagens chicanas, por meio das quatro obras, “The House on Mango Street” (1984), de Sandra Cisneros, “The Last of the Menu Girls” (1986), de Denise Chávez, “Confessions of a Book Burner” (2014), de Lucha Corpi, e “A Dream Called Home” (2018), de Reyna Grande, além de estabelecer uma análise comparativa das duas primeiras obras marcadas como ficções autobiográficas escritas no século XX, “The House on Mango Street” (1984) e “The Last of the Menu Girls” (1986) com as outras duas obras autobiográficas, “Confessions of a Book Burner” (2014) e “A Dream Called Home” (2018), produções do século XXI. Após a análise proposta, verificou-se a existência de similaridades nas propostas das escritas dessas autoras mais contemporâneas em relação às escritas das autoras do século XX no que concerne à busca identitária, à autoafirmação e às características da escrita dessas mulheres chicanas. Pode-se afirmar, então, que essas escritas autobiográficas do século XXI ratificam as propostas das ficções autobiográficas do século passado no que toca à concepção de identidade, gênero, classe, raça/etnia e que essas estratégias de escrita têm apresentado a possibilidade de servir como ato transformativo, ou seja, a escrita dessas autoras chicanas têm contribuído para o (re)conhecimento, (re)valorização e consequente (re)afirmação das mulheres mexicanas-estadunidenses/chicanas e do seu grupo no cenário global.
Trajetos literários em perspectiva: entre a épica camoniana e a reescrita contemporânea na obra Uma Viagem à Índia, de Gonçalo M. Tavares
Authors:   , Couto Taciane Aparecida
Published: December 2024

A presente tese realiza uma análise da obra Uma Viagem à Índia (2010), do escritor português Gonçalo M. Tavares, sob o prisma da intertextualidade e da temática da viagem. O livro resulta das estratégias do autor em revisitar a tradição literária e o cânone, promovendo um jogo intertextual com Os Lusíadas (1572), de Luís de Camões . É evidenciado que, em Uma Viagem à Índia, a viagem se multiplica e se desdobra a partir daquela que teve origem na célebre "Ocidental praia Lusitana", mencionada no poema épico de Camões . A análise aponta que o uso da forma épica também desempenha um papel essencial na construção da história do personagem Bloom que, por si, já traduz o diálogo com a tradição, e que parte de Lisboa rumo à Índia, impulsionado pelo desejo de esquecimento e sabedoria. Deste modo, a tese destaca que a obra se constitui em uma tríplice viagem: primeiramente, uma viagem intertextual por meio da própria literatura, especialmente com a rede intertextual com Camões , que estabelece uma tensão parricida entre romper com a tradição e, simultaneamente, reverenciá-la; em segundo lugar, uma viagem física realizada por Bloom, seguindo uma rota distinta daquela traçada em Os Lusíadas, ao passo em que reflete sobre a história narrada por Camões , e por extensão a de Portugal; em terceiro lugar, uma viagem interior ou psicológica, que representa a Melancolia contemporânea (um itinerário), refletindo os sentimentos do protagonista, que já parte acometido por tal estado da alma. Nessa análise, é observado que a viagem de Bloom se afasta daquela feita em Os Lusíadas e aponta para uma espécie de antibildungsroman, visto que, ao final da viagem, ele não se harmoniza com o mundo, pois Bloom não floresce. Dessa forma, este estudo assinala que, ao lermos o turista (Bloom) pela perspectiva do herói, conforme as conjeturas de jornada do herói de Campbell ([1949], 1995), o texto de literatura de viagem nem sempre se alinha a esse ideário, culminando no desfecho da narrativa com a suspensão ou negação do ritual de transformação.
Flutuações quânticas e ação efetiva em teoria semiclássica
Authors:   , Camargo Guilherme Henrique Siqueira
Published: December 2024

Nesta tese, são incluídos dois trabalhos distintos. Primeiro, estudamos a anomalia conforme em um espaço-tempo curvo com torção antissimétrica. Além disso, analisamos também os efeitos das flutuações quânticas de um campo eletromagnético sobre o movimento de uma partícula de carga nula e momento de dipolo diferente de zero que interage com o campo na presença de uma fronteira perfeitamente condutora em regime de temperatura finita. Primeiramente, revisamos algumas propriedades da gravitação semiclássica num espaço-tempo curvo com torção, onde apresentamos como ocorre a interação da torção com campos de matéria. Fizemos então o estudo da ação efetiva na presença da torção, onde usamos dois diferentes operadores conjugados para o caso de campos fermiônicos, sendo possível recuperar resultados apresentados na literatura e ainda generalizá-los, obtendo um novo tipo de ambiguidade que relacionamos com um novo exemplo de anomalia multiplicativa. Calculamos ainda a ação induzida pela anomalia em sua forma covariante, obtendo termos local e não-local, onde o termo local possui a ambiguidade devido à anomalia multiplicativa, e foi possível reescrever o termo não-local com o uso de dois campos auxiliares para obter também sua forma local. A seguir, realizamos a quantização do campo eletromagnético na presença de uma fronteira plana idealmente refletora num cenário de temperatura finita. Finalmente, sobre o comportamento do dipolo, vimos que sua interação com as flutuações do campo eletromagnético produziu dispersões quânticas dos momentos linear e angular, cujas magnitudes dependem da temperatura, distância até a placa e ainda das características do momento de dipolo. Analisamos ainda e energia cinética adquirida pelo dipolo, estudando suas diferentes contribuições separadamente, onde mostramos que, quando a partícula experimenta apenas o banho térmico ou a fronteira condutora, sua energia residual é positiva
Une « brève » histoire de la chirurgie de la cataracte en médecine vétérinaire, en France
Authors: Rosolen Serge-Georges
Published: December 2024

La cataracte est la principale cause de cécité chez les humains et chez les animaux. Dans les deux cas, et quelle qu’en soit la cause, elle se traite chirurgicalement. Il n’est pas étonnant que l’histoire comparative de la chirurgie de la cataracte chez l’Homme et les animaux montre des similitudes, des apports réciproques et un enrichissement pour un bénéfice mutuel des patients, humains ou animaux. Deux techniques ont coexisté dans les deux cas : la technique d’abaissement et la technique d’extraction. La première a été utilisée, dès l’Antiquité, la seconde s’est développée à partir du XVIIIe siècle. La technique par extraction est désormais celle qui prévaut. La mécanisation de celle-ci, grâce à la phacoémulsification, a également permis de rendre les résultats moins opérateur-dépendants et donc plus accessibles aux nombreux chirurgiens des deux médecines.
Transition agro-écologique dans les filières porcines et aviaires : l’exemple des systèmes alternatifs
Authors: Delsart Maxime
Published: December 2024

S’ils sont plébiscités par les consommateurs et les citoyens, les élevages alternatifs ne sont toutefois pas sans présenter de points critiques. D’une façon générale, les élevages alternatifs donnent aux animaux la possibilité d’exprimer un éthogramme plus large qu’en bâtiment. Toutefois la gestion de l’alimentation, de l’abreuvement, des températures et des prédateurs est souvent plus délicate en plein-air. De plus, les mesures de biosécurité sont plus difficiles à appliquer et observer que dans les élevages conventionnels, notamment dans les élevages plein-air. La gestion du parasitisme est également un véritable défi, au même titre que la gestion des écrasements de porcelets en cours d’allaitement. En outre, la prévalence plus élevée de nombreux agents pathogènes zoonotiques dans les élevages de porcs plein-air peut représenter un risque pour la santé humaine. Enfin, la transition vers des systèmes alternatifs d’élevage ne constitue pas LA solution pour diminuer l’empreinte carbone de la production de viande de monogastriques.
Fièvre Q et grossesse
Authors: Parabere Solène , Faucher Jean-François
Published: December 2024

Les fièvres Q aiguës symptomatiques survenant pendant la grossesse peuvent se compliquer d’issues défavorables de grossesse (fausses couches, prématurité), en lien avec des placentites, qui traduisent l’affinité pour le placenta de l’agent de la fièvre Q, Coxiella burnetii. La durée recommandée du traitement de la fièvre Q aigüe chez la femme enceinte est d’au moins 5 semaines. La grossesse semble favoriser les formes persistantes de fièvre Q. Sur la base d’études observationnelles, chez les femmes enceintes asymptomatiques et séropositives pour la fièvre Q, l’analyse de la littérature apporte des informations non concordantes sur les taux d’issue défavorable de grossesse et sur l’efficacité d’une antibiothérapie pour les prévenir. Le dépistage de la fièvre Q n’est donc pas recommandé pendant la grossesse. Au contact des ruminants dont les bovins, ovins et caprins, la prévention de la fièvre Q chez les femmes enceintes repose sur des mesures d’hygiène et sur l’éviction de tâches très exposantes.
Progrès de la chirurgie de la cornée et du cristallin au laser femtoseconde chez l'humain. Quelles perspectives pour la chirurgie de la cataracte chez l'animal de compagnie ?
Authors: Romano Fabrice
Published: December 2024

La chirurgie de la cataracte chez l’humain a connu son progrès principal le plus récent lors de l’avènement de la phacoémulsification au début des années 90 en Europe. Même si cette technique s’est perfectionnée depuis, il n’y a pas eu de véritable révolution dans la méthode d’extraction du cristallin. En revanche l’arrivée des implants pliables a permis de réduire encore davantage la taille de l’incision cornéenne en diminuant considérablement les amétropies postopératoires. Mais les progrès technologiques en ophtalmologie, que ce soit en robotique, en intelligence artificielle et dans les lasers, ont conduit récemment à la mise au point de nouveaux équipements chirurgicaux et semblent annoncer un bouleversement imminent dans la chirurgie de la cataracte. L’ophtalmologie vétérinaire ayant suivi les traces de la chirurgie humaine il est donc légitime de se demander si la chirurgie de la cataracte chez l’animal n’est pas également à l’aube d’un changement profond.

Furthermore, it investigates the predictors of mindfulness, using psychological resilience, psychological hardiness, and sociodemographic variables including gender, marital status, age, grade point average, type of university, type of specialty, and academic year among Jordanian university students.
Methods: The study sample consisted of four universities (two public and two private), selected through a convenience procedure. A total of 1219 students from different specialties, including medical, scientific, and humanity schools, participated in this study. We used validated Arabic psychological scales namely, mindfulness scale, psychological hardiness scale, and Connor-Davidson psychological resilience scale after being checked by validity, reliability, and suitability for the local environment.
Results: Results indicated that the percentage of 32.7% of students had low levels of mindfulness, 7.3% had low levels of psychological hardiness, and 16.3% had low levels of psychological resilience. Positive relationships were found between the three selected psychological variables. Moreover, there were significant differences attributed to marital status for married and divorce, and type of specialty for medical and humanistic schools in mindfulness levels. Results showed that psychological resilience, psychological hardiness, and marital status were the most significant predictors of mindfulness among Jordanian university students, with 26.1% of variance.
Conclusions: Levels of mindfulness and psychological hardiness were relatively found to be low, thus the study recommends developing special counseling programs to enhance mindfulness, improve psychological resilience, and psychological hardiness among Jordanian university students.

آراء الزنجاني(ت: 655ه) النحوية في الأسماء المنصوبة: دراسة وصفية تحليلية
Authors: Abbas Mohammed Hussein , Al- Rubaie Saadoun Ahmed Ali
Published: December 2024

الأهداف: تسليط الضوء على عالم من علماء النحو في القرن السابع الهجري، كان له منظومة نحوية تعليمية أراد شرحها لطلاب العلم، فوجد أنّه يشقّ عليهم أمرها، فعدل عنها، وألّف شرحه "الكافي في شرح الهادي ".
المنهجية: اتّبع البحث منهجًا وصفيًّا تحليليًا قائمًا على تتبع آراء الزنجاني النحوية في الأسماء المنصوبة في كتابه (الكافي في شرح الهادي)، وموازنتها بآراء النحويين القدماء والمحدثين.
النتائج: توصل البحث إلى عدد من النتائج أبرزها أنَّ الزنجانيّ لم يكن مجرَّد ناقل للآراء أو مقلّدٍ لمَن سبقه من النحويين، إنّما أضاف الكثير من التوضيح والتفصيل للمسائل النحوية، بطريقة سهلة ميسّرة، بيدَ أنّه وقع في بعض المواضع في تعارض خلاف مقصده الذي وعد بأن يكون شرحه تعليميًا ميسرًا، إذ كان في أثناء عرض المسائل النحوية يحيل بعضها إلى دائرة الخلاف النحوي بين البصريين والكوفيين.
الخلاصة: وقع الزنجاني في بعض المواضع في تعارض خلاف مقصده الذي وعد بأن يكون شرحه تعليميًا ميسرًا، إذ كان أثناء عرض المسائل النحوية يحيل بعضها إلى دائرة الخلاف النحوي بين البصريين والكوفيين، ولا ريب أنَّ الغوص في دائرة الخلاف النحوي يبعده عن المنهج التعليمي الذي اختطه لكتابه.
السَلْب ومظاهرهُ في الدرس البلاغيّ العربيّ قراءةٌ في المصطلحِ والمفهوم

Published: December 2024

الأهداف: يهدف البحث إلى التأصيل لمصطلح السلب، ويحاول إثبات وقوعه في مباحث البلاغة بأساليب مختلفة ومفاهيم تتجاوز المفاهيم التي سادت في الدرس اللغويّ عامّة.
المنهجية: يستعمل البحث المنهج الوصفي التحليلي، متضمّناً الإشارة إلى المصطلح في ظواهره البلاغيّة المتنوّعة، ومقسّماً له على ثلاثة أقسام، قسمٌ يُحقّق السلب بصورة مباشرة، وهو موضوع البحث، وآخر يحقّق السلب بصورة غير مباشرة، وقسم يحقّق السلب من خلال الاستدلال، وقد تمّ التركيز على النوع الأول من أنواع السلب - السلب البلاغي المباشر- فقط مع الوقوف عند تطبيقاته البلاغيّة لأسباب عدّة، السبب الرئيس فيها هو سعة موضوع السلب البلاغيّ مع تطبيقاته بحيث لا يمكن استعراض كلّ تقسيماته وتطبيقاتها على عجالة في نتاجٍ بحثيّ مخصّص للنشر في مجلّة؛ لذا تمّ الاكتفاء بنوع واحد منه؛ لمحاولة استيفاء جوانبه كافّة مع تطبيقاته.
النتائج: يتمثّل مصطلح السلب - في الدرس البلاغي- بتمثلات عدّة، مباشرة أو غير مباشرة، حقيقيّة أو مجازيّة، قد تقع من خلال اللفظ أو السياق، إذ لا يقتصر على الأساليب التي وردت عند النحاة واللغويّين، بل يتعدّاه إلى أساليب أخرى وفنون لم تكن مألوفة أو مستعملة سابقاً.
الخلاصة: محاولة الوقوف على مفهوم مصطلح السَلْب واستعمالاته يسهم في الوقوف على مرادفاته في التسمية أو المفهوم بحكم حركيّة اللغة، وسنن تطوّرها، وهو أمر مهم في ميدان اللغة العربية.

Objective: This study examines modal social media visuals using Conceptual Blending Theory (CBT) and its theoretical foundation, Conceptual Blending Network, to improve college students' visual communication on social media.
Methods: The study explores social media visuals and CBN's mechanism. It goes beyond meme design to explain the key factors and reinforcement strategies needed to use CBN to create social media visuals. This study creates an empirical experimental model for validation, a novel approach. The experimental model teaches college students how to create engaging social media visuals. Three university teachers in relevant fields collaborated on the research project with 232 diverse undergraduates who completed surveys and interviews.
Results: The study found that undergraduates recognise the importance of visual language organisation for accurately conveying complex information on social media. Collaboration with experts and the introduction of CBT and CBN helped university students accept this advanced visual language organisation method for social media visuals.
Conclusion: Participants' understanding, comprehension, and practical exposure to the proposed methodology significantly reduced their difficulties in designing compelling social media visuals. This research helps us understand social media visual dynamics and informs educators and practitioners who want to improve digital visual communication.
فيزياء الكم وثورة الهامش: رواية "كوانتوم" لأحمد أبو سليم نموذجًا
Authors: Rawajfeh Laith Said
Published: December 2024

الأهداف: يتناول هذا البحث نظرية الكوانتوم الفيزيائية، وتمثيلاتها السردية في رواية "كوانتوم" لأحمد أبو سليم، ويهدف البحث إلى تطبيق قراءة مايكروسردية دقيقة لبنية الرواية (الفنية، والموضوعاتية، والدلالية) وفق ممارسة نقدية تستفيد من المنجزات المايكروسكوبية في حقل الفيزياء.
المنهجية: اتبع البحث منهجًا يلاحق الفكرة الفيزيائية الرئيسة التي قامت عليها رواية "كوانتوم"، وهي فكرة إظهار ثورة الهامش حين تم تمثيله بالذرة، وهو منهج يسعى لرصد القيمة الكمومية لهذه الفكرة ومدى تأثيرها في البنية الروائية عبر مقاربة مايكروسردية تنبش دقائق هذه البنية، وتفككها إلى أصغر جزيئاتها، في محاولة لرصد قيمة (كم)، وأثر البنى (الفنية والموضوعاتية) في بعضها، ومدى تأثير نظرية الكوانتوم فيها.
النتائج: حاول أحمد أبوسليم في رواية "كوانتوم" إيجاد أبستمولوجيا عربية- فلسطينية جديدة، تثور على كل أشكال الهزيمة التي فرضتها الواقعية العقلانية، والمادية الكولونيالية المُزيفة للتاريخ، والتي يمكن اختصارها بالتاريخانية الصهيونية الجديدة الطامحة لمحو وجود الإنسان الفلسطيني وتراثه، وتحقق كل ذلك بفضل توظيف نظرية الكوانتوم الفيزيائية في روايته.
الخلاصة: إنّ معظم المقولات الكوانتية حاضرة في رواية "كوانتوم"، وقام بناؤها (الفني، والموضوعاتي، والدلالي) عليها، ولم يتم إسقاطها على الرواية من الخارج؛ فالمكان والزمان والشخصيات الروائية تم تمثيلها بالذرة من منظور سردي يستند على مرجعية فيزيائية، ولذلك لا يمكن للمارسة النقدية دراسة عناصر البنية الروائية بشكل منفصل؛ لأنها مثل الذرات المكونة للعالم الجهري بأكمله، وإنما أنجع الممارسات تكون عبر قياس قيمتها الكمومية من خلال (الأثر) الذي يتركه كل عنصر في العناصر الأخرى.

Economic Security of Poland
Authors: Taksás Balázs , Waszkiewicz Grzegorz , Gontarczyk Mariusz , Zelkowski Jarosław
Published: December 2024

The aim of this research is to create a relatively easy-to-apply, yet complex and complete model for measuring levels of economic security, one that incorporates risks in supply, ﬁnance, labor market, technology, sales, economic policy, and mobilization, thus comprehensively evaluating the economic security situation of a country and the danger of risk activation. The development of this conceptual model and the risk groupings was based on several historical and contemporary economic dysfunction and crisis studies (approximately one hundred). The applied methodology takes into account the diﬀerent risk-averse or risk-tolerant preferences of various societies. It also considers the eﬀect of economic cycles on economic indicators. Meanwhile, simple mathematical calculations ensure ease of application, making it readily adaptable not only for academics and researchers, but also for any governmental entity, or non-governmental organization. With the help of this model and thirteen selected indicators, we subjected Poland’s economic security situation for the period 2010-2019 to comprehensive analysis. We then drew conclusions on how the level of risk in diﬀerent subsystems changed during this relatively calm period.
The Structure of Euripides’ Tragedy. Its Philosophical Character
Authors:   Universitatea din Oradea, Roșu Adina-Voichiță
Published: December 2024

Our study aims to analyze the structure of Euripide’s tragedy, one of the most admired playwrights of the 5th century BCE, along with Sophocles and Aeschylus, whose tragedies have remained a landmark and a source of inspiration for modern playwrights. Like other lyrical species, the evolution of the tragic genre is closely related to the era in which an era of great social, political and intellectual upheavals was born and developed, the era in which the philosophy of the skeptics and the sophists finds their counterparts in the structure of tragedy. Their theme and representation mirror the art of Greek drama.
Interpretatio Romana in Punic World
Authors:   Universitatea din Bucureşti, Costa Ioana
Published: December 2024

Religion and politics were closely related in ancient world and the corollary was a thorough attention toward the religion of the conqueror. The governors of the provinces generally encouraged
the Roman (and Greek) cults, beside the indigenous ones, that were “translated”: this “Roman translation” (interpretatio Romana) is, in a certain degree, an appropriation. The phenomenon was well attested in Northern Africa, in multiple and complex modalities. The traditional local divinities continued to be worshiped in a Roman frame; the approximate equivalence of a local god with a Roman god, by means of shared traits, is the starting point of a new cult, eventually materialised in some new monuments (temples, shrines, statues), that validate the effects of the interpretatio Romana.
Actual Reflections on Friendship in the Ciceronian Dialogue De amicitia
Authors:   Școala Gimnazială nr. 18 Timişoara/ Universitatea de Vest din Timişoara, Milincu Irina Loredana
Published: December 2024

Cicero chose to define friendship and the use of it from the stoic perspective because it shouldn’t be forgotten that his entire life he was preoccupied by philosophy and it’s popularization in the Roman world. By doing so, he confirmed his orientation for The New Academy, formed for the Greeks by Carneades of Cirene (214-129 b. c.). This philosophical school became the most important for the Romans and Cicero helped with the development of Roman philosophical prose and the enrichment of the Roman and European philosophical vocabulary. The work was created like a discussion that would have taken place in Laelius’s house, in 129 b. c., a few days after Scipio the Younger’s death. Laelius was a little bit older than Scipio (the one who conquered Cartagena in the third punic war) and he was two times consul. They even kept each other’s company in the Hispanic Campaign, ended with the conquer of Numantia’s settlement in the year of 133 b. c. The two of them had the same philosophical convictions, the same attitude towards politics and also the same cultural ideal. Using a very rich and complex vocabulary, Cicero managed to define amicitia by considering it the most precious thing for the human being.
Laus in amore mori. Expressions of Passion in Propertian Elegy
Authors:   Universitatea de Vest din Timișoara, Bătrîn Eliza
Published: December 2024

Love is portrayed by Propertius in various manners
throughout his work. One of them is the establishing of a connection between love and death, utilizing the concept of persistence of love following death, or fides after death. This connection can be traces in multiple of Propertius’ poems. This paper particularly focuses on poem number 15 from the first book in its analysis. This poem doesn’t directly preoccupy itself with the connection between love and death, essentially being a release of the author’s feelings of frustration stemming from his doubts regarding his lover Cynthia’s loyalty to him. The interconnectedness between love and death is explored in the middle portion of the text, in which the poet presents the destinies of four certain mythological women (Calypso, Hypsipyle, Evadne and Alphesiboea), which raises on a pedestal as examples of his ideal of faithfulness after – or in spite of death. The ending of the poem finds Propertius disappointed by Cynthia’s indifference towards his torments, but also possessing a new sense of calm, owing to the embracing of his situation. Although is it not the focal point, thematically speaking, the connection between love and death is an important element of poem I.15, the first in which I was able to identify this theme in the context of Propertius’ entire work.
Aetna (1-370). Romanian Translation
Authors:   Universitatea din Craiova, Dinu Dana
Published: December 2024

The poem Aetna is included by most editors in Appendix Vergiliana, thus suggesting that it belongs to Vergil. But the text of the poem was transmitted anonymously, the authorship being difficult to establish. Donatus, in Vita Vergilii, casts an early and probably wellfounded doubt on Vergilian authorship. In fact, the source of the doubt is much older, being formulated by Suetonius, whom Donatus quotes in the biography of the Mantuan poet: Scripsit etiam de qua ambigitur Aetnam. Given that Suetonius is much closer to the period in which Virgil lived, he has a good chance of being closer to the truth. Especially since the names of other authors were also circulated. Thus, from Seneca’s correspondence with Lucilius, mainly from Letter 79, it can be inferred that Lucilius was tempted to write about the volcano Etna, just like the established poets Virgil and Ovid, and the less famous Cornelius Severus: Quid tibi do ne Aetnam describas in tuo carmine, ne hunc sollemnem omnibus poetis locum attingas? Quem quominus Ovidius tractaret, nihil obstitit quod iam Vergilius impleverat; ne Severum quidem Cornelium uterque deterruit. But none of them had written a poem exclusively dedicated to the volcano in Sicily. The hypothesis that the poem belongs to Lucilius becomes more plausible, based on further arguments from the correspondence of the two. The poor aesthetic quality could be an indicator to exclude Vergilius’ authorship. The author of the poem appears to be what Quintilianus said about Cornelius Severus: est versificator quam poeta melior.

Numerical modeling of single-point incremental sheet metal forming of 3003-O aluminum alloy
Authors: Habbachi Marwen , Baksa Attila
Published: December 2024

Incremental sheet metal forming processes have demonstrated promising results in shaping symmetric, asymmetric, and highly complex forms. Their flexibility and reliability have garnered attention across various application areas. In this research, numerical modeling was conducted to investigate incremental sheet metal forming processes, particularly single-point incremental forming (SPIF). An aluminum sheet was used in the forming process. The results were compared with experimental data, showing reasonable agreement. The forming force in the out-of-plane direction was significantly higher than the forming force components in the x- and y-axes. Additionally, it was found that the stress distribution exhibited an asymmetric evolution.
