The Role of Festivals and Cultural Events in Promoting Social Inclusion: Examining Local Public Policy Documents in Romania
Authors: Mureșan Raluca 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This study aims to investigate whether festivals and cultural events are considered by the cities that host them as a means to achieve social inclusion goals. We analyzed public policy documents related to urban development strategies and the allocation of non-reimbursable funds for festivals and cultural events in five Romanian cities: Sibiu, Cluj-Napoca, Sfântu Gheorghe, Miercurea Ciuc, and Alba Iulia, in order to identify to what extent city municipalities consider that festivals can play a role in promoting social inclusion and the importance of the social dimension when considering applications for financial support for cultural festivals. The selected cities are top five in a ranking of the cultural vitality of Romanian cities, published in 2022, which shows a very high polarity at a territorial level, with a concentration in the central part of the country. Thus, we investigated which public policy objectives festivals are associated with and to what extent the social dimension is relevant for obtaining financial support. The results showed that the link between culture and social inclusion is insufficiently explored in terms of how public authorities could encourage greater social inclusion through public policies supporting festivals.
Magic, witchcraft and popular culture: Political and religious reasoning
Authors: Dragoman Dragoș 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The witch trials that mark the West European society during the 17th century is by no means a religious affair. Run by public secular judges, and not by the ecclesiastical tribunals, those judicial inquiries unravel the tight alliance between state and church in their common effort of consolidating their authority. Weakened by the Reformation movement, the Catholic church found in the new type of absolutist monarchy the much awaited support for the revival of the faith. By working hand in hand, the two institutions made the needed effort to put both religious faith and the political legitimacy on a rational basis. By centralizing the political power, the newly born modern bureaucracy was making an effort to destroy localism, regional autonomy, as well as fighting paganism, superstition, rural mythology and oral traditions. By helping the Church in rationalizing the faith, the modern bureaucracy was paving the way for the rationalization of the overall human existence, which will culminate with the European modern anti-religious natural science.
Chinese Intellectual Thought in Early Qing Dynasty: The Contributions of Gu Yanwu
Authors: Vereș Diana-Elena 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Seventeenth-century China was a period of profound upheaval and transformation, marked most prominently by the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the establishment of the Qing Dynasty in 1644, following the entry of Manchu troops into Beijing. This transition not only redefined the political landscape but also generated a deep cultural and moral crisis within Chinese society. The ascension of a foreign ruling class of Manchu origin was met with resistance and unease among the Han Chinese, who struggled to reconcile the loss of the Ming with the legitimacy of the new rulers. This era of uncertainty and disruption challenged long-standing intellectual and social norms, prompting a reevaluation of cultural identity, governance, and moral principles. Among these figures, Gu Yanwu (1613–1682) stands out as a pivotal thinker who sought to address the intellectual stagnation of his time. His critique of Neo-Confucianism was especially significant, as he rejected its overreliance on abstract metaphysical speculation, which he deemed detached from the practical realities of governance and everyday life. Instead, Gu Yanwu advocated for a return to classical Confucian principles, emphasizing empirical study, moral integrity, and practical application of knowledge. This article examines Gu Yanwu’s contributions to Chinese thought, leaving a lasting impact on the trajectory of Chinese scholarship and philosophy in the early Qing period.
The Concealed Behavior regarding the Communication of Information in Judicial and Security System
Authors: Văcaru-Sora Mihai-Ștefan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Human behavior manifests in everyday life. In certain contexts, driven by fears or the need to conceal a certain attitude they have adopted, people are prone to distort reality. In this way, both the national security system and the legal system are subjected to risk.
The principle of seeking the truth is a cornerstone of both of these systems. In this regard, the article aims to present the ways in which we can prevent and avoid the emergence of such behavior that could threaten the optimal functioning of professionals within the system.
The concept of “dissimulation” is encountered in both systems, but it has different meanings. While dissimulation in the context of national security is used to protect the state’s interests, often employed in espionage, counter-espionage and military operations to hide critical information or real intentions from enemies, in the legal context, dissimulation can undermine the integrity of justice and public trust in the legal system. It is important to note that both domains analyze and counteract such tactics to ensure security and fairness.

Authors: Grozea Lucian 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The present study explores the history and stratified literary formation of the biblical narrative concerning the legendary patriarch Jacob. It also examines a „conceptual invariant”, Bethel, a term linguistically expressed in various idioms, signifying a connection to a shared spirituality, particularly within the Ancient Near Eastern context, characterized by diffusionism and acculturation.
Grill&Gulasz, czyli o nazwach imprez kulinarnych
Authors: Przymuszała Lidia , Świtała-Trybek Dorota 
Published: December 2024

Culinary tourism (part of a broader phenomenon called cultural tourism) has become extremely fashionable in recent years. It is closely related to culinary events organised on various occasions – accompanying other events or constituting the goal of a culinary trip in itself. An incentive to participate in them and a kind of trademark are the various names of these events, sometimes extremely original, testifying to the immense creativity of the organisers. The object of observation in this contribution are the names of culinary events belonging – according to Artur Gałkowski’s proposal – to ideational chrematonyms. The names of this subcategory of socioideonyms have not been sufficiently developed yet, so they have become the subject of research. Accordingly, the aim of this article is a formal and semantic analysis of these names, a discussion of the motivation behind the presented onyms,and an indication of their functions. The research basis for the observations made are 165 names of culinary events, organised periodically in the years 2019-2023 in three voivodeships: Silesia, Lower Silesia and Opole. The analysis of the material shows that multi-word constructions consisting of elements such as: a component identifying the project (e.g. festiwal [festival], święto [celebration], warsztaty [workshop]), specifying its nature (e.g. wodzionki [of Wodzionka soup], smaków [of flavours], maszketówi [of Silesian sweets]), locating event (e.g. w Lyskach [in Lyski], w Bagieńcu [in Bagieniec]) are very characteristic of this type of names. The basic naming model can be supplemented with various variant components. Onyms of this category, apart from their primary informative function, also play marketing, persuasive and promotional roles.
Association of immunosuppressive CD45+CD33+CD14− CD10−HLA-DR−/low neutrophils with poor prognosis in patients with lymphoma and their expansion and activation through STAT3/arginase-1 pathway in vitro

Published: December 2024

Objective:
This study aimed to explore the clinical significance of CD45+CD33+CD14−CD10−HLA-DR−/low neutrophils (Cluster of Differentiation 10 [CD10−] neutrophils) in B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (B-NHL). An amplification system of CD10− neutrophils in vitro was constructed using cytokines, and the mechanisms underlying the cytokine-induced expansion and activation of the CD10− neutrophil subpopulation were investigated.

Material and Methods:
We identified a novel suppressive cell population known as CD10− neutrophils in the peripheral blood of patients with B-NHL in different statuses by flow cytometry and found it to be correlated with interleukin-6 levels, T cell counts, and plasma arginase-1 (Arg-1) levels. We then verified the effect of CD10− neutrophil expression on the prognosis of patients with B-NHL. Furthermore, we described a clinically compatible method for generating granulocyte populations rich in CD10− neutrophils using cultures of peripheral blood-isolated neutrophils supplemented with cytokines in vitro. Arg-1 expression was detected in neutrophils before and after induction by cytokines through reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and flow cytometry. T-cell proliferation and apoptosis were measured by carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester assay and Annexin V-Propidium Iodide stains, and induced cells were exposed to Arg-1 inhibitor and ruxolitinib. signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)/Arg-1 signaling was studied mainly by western blot and chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments.

Results:
We established a correlation between high CD10− neutrophil levels and poorer survival outcomes in patients with B-NHL. Moreover, CD10− neutrophils were positively correlated with interleukin (IL)-6, T-reg cells, and plasma Arg-1 levels and negatively correlated with the absolute number of total T cells. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and IL-6 could all induce the expansion of CD10− neutrophil phenotype cells in vitro, which exhibit typical immature cellular morphology, and the combination of IL-6 and GM-CSF was the most effective. We confirmed that the STAT3/Arg-1 signaling pathway could be a critical mechanism regulating CD10− neutrophil-mediated immunosuppression in vitro.

Conclusion:
CD10− neutrophils exhibited basic characteristics similar to conventional myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Our observations provide a promising STAT3 or Arg-1 targeting strategy for B-NHL and an important method for generating remarkably amounts of inhibitory granulocyte populations rich in CD10− neutrophils for immunotherapy.
The Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Technique for Acromegaly: Evaluating Remission

Published: December 2024

Objectives
The primary strategy for managing acromegaly involves transsphenoidal surgical intervention, with the achievement of post-surgical remission playing a pivotal role in patient prognosis. Factors such as pre-surgery GH (growth hormone) as well as insulin-like growth factor-1 levels, tumour size, invasion into the cavernous sinus and the extent of tumour resection outside the capsule have been recognised as crucial for determining remission outcomes.

Material and Methods
Between January 2017 and April 2023, 89 patients underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery at the Mahatma Gandhi University of Medical Sciences and Technology in Jaipur. The study assessed preoperatively along with postoperative parameters such as overall remission, cavernous sinus invasion, the extent of resection beyond the tumour capsule, resection rates and GH levels before and after surgery. Remission rates were evaluated based on the consensus criteria from 2010.

Results
Of the 89 patients, 79 (88.8%) achieved complete tumour resection. Remission was observed in 70 patients (78.7%), with 61 of 78 patients (78.2%) having larger tumours (macroadenomas), 9 of 11 (81.9%) with smaller tumours (microadenomas), and 7 of 18 (38.9%) with tumours invading the cavernous sinus achieving remission. Remarkably, 68 of 72 patients (82.9%) who had a pseudocapsular resection entered remission. Patients with preoperative GH levels below 20 ng/mL saw an 87.5% remission rate, which dropped to 33.3% for those with levels above 60 ng/mL. The study found strong associations between remission rates and factors such as extra-pseudocapsular resection and cavernous sinus invasion, with a negative correlation to tumour size and volume.

Conclusion
The key determinants of remission include the extent of tumour invasion into the cavernous sinus and the completeness of tumour excision. Achieving optimal remission outcomes requires meticulous surgical removal of the tumour, including any residual fragments, with preoperative as well as postoperative GH levels serving as prognostic indicators of remission success.

Published: December 2024

Background: The lack of studies that specifically examines the challenges of implementing technology in physical education, with a content analysis approach using NVivo 12 Plus prompted this study to be carried out. Research Objective: This study identifies strategies to overcome these obstacles and provides recommendations for policymakers and educators. The aim is to increase the effectiveness of the learning process through more effective use of technology. This research is also encouraged because the related findings are one of the few studies that have been conducted, especially in Indonesia, so this can fill the research gap. Methods: This method combines qualitative research with content analysis. It used Nvivo 12 Plus software to discover and analyse the main themes. The units of analysis used are text search queries and case classification. Finding/Results: The findings of this study reveal that the employment of technological aids in physical education is beneficial as it allows greater access and flexibility in learning, enhances students’ motivation and participation, and offers innovative teaching-learning tools. Nonetheless, inside the Indonesian education sector, there are still identified issues regarding constrained access to technology in many places, considering gaps in the deployment of digital infrastructure and the development of students’ and educators’ digital skills. Conclusion: Improvements in telecommunications infrastructure, better digital literacy among the teaching and student populations, and opportunities for closer governmental cooperation with industry will be vital to addressing these hurdles more effectively. Although there are still some struggles, this research highlights how technology should be implemented in physical education in the digital age. This study helps identify and analyse the main challenges to developing strategies for improving technology use in physical education, especially among students and educators.
К вопросу об актуальности отраслевого деления российского права
Authors: Рыженков А.Я. 
Published: December 2024

Статья представляет собой комментарий к выступлениям в дискуссии о предмете и методе правового регулирования. Отмечается, что выявление и конструирование методов правового регулирования функционально шире, чем только уточнение отраслевой структуры права, поскольку имеет прямое отношение к общей стратегии правового развития; равным образом, определить предмет правового регулирования важно не только для того, чтобы сделать вывод о наличии или отсутствии самостоятельной отрасли права, но и для того, чтобы удостовериться в принципиальной возможности и необходимости нормативной регламентации в той или иной сфере. Вопрос о логической состоятельности и практической полезности отраслевой структуры права, разумеется, остается открытым. Нельзя исключать того, что в перспективе эта версия внутренней организации права будет пересмотрена и заменена более совершенной. Очевидно лишь, что невозможен полный отказ от самого принципа внутренней дифференциации права на составные части, без чего невозможно ориентироваться в нормативном материале, особенно учитывая его количественное разрастание. Указание на изменчивость правовой природы общественных отношений в данном случае лишь подтверждает необходимость их относительно стабильной нормативной классификации, иначе исчезнет сама точка отсчета, позволяющая фиксировать эти изменения. Что касается отраслевого деления права, оно будет сохранять хотя бы некоторую актуальность вплоть до того момента, пока ему не будет предложена достойная альтернатива.
The article is a commentary on the speeches in the discussion about the subject and method of legal regulation. It is noted that the revealing and construction of methods of legal regulation is functionally wider than only clarification of branch structure of law as has a direct relation to general strategy of legal development; equally, to define the subject of legal regulation is important not only in order to conclude on the presence or absence of an independent branch of law, but also in order to ascertain the fundamental possibility and need for normative regulation in this or that sphere. The question of the logical consistency and practical usefulness of the branch structure of law, of course, remains open. We cannot rule out the possibility that, in the future, this version of the internal organization of the law will be revised and replaced by a more perfect version. It is only obvious that it is impossible to completely abandon the very principle of the internal differentiation of law into its constituent parts, without which it is impossible to navigate in the normative material, especially given its quantitative proliferation. Indication of the variability of the legal nature of social relations in this case only confirms the need for their relatively stable normative classification, otherwise the very point of reference that allows to fix these changes will disappear. As for the branch division of law, it will retain at least some relevance until a worthy alternative is proposed to it.

Published: December 2024

Автор рассматривает правовой алгоритм вхождения территорий на юго-востоке Украины в состав Российской Федерации. В условиях специальной военной операции и с учетом официальных полномочий Российская Федерация реализует эффективный, т. е. полный контроль над освобожденными территориями (термин используется в международном праве). Кроме того, специальная военная операция позволяет установить юрисдикционную связь, которая влечет за собой процессуальное обязательство, связанное с обеспечением каждого лица правом на жизнь.
The author considers the legal algorithm for the entry of territories in the south-east of Ukraine into the Russian Federation. Under the conditions of a special military operation and taking into account official powers, the Russian Federation exercises effective, that is, complete control over the liberated territories (the term is used in international law). In addition, a special military operation makes it possible to establish a jurisdictional link, which entails a procedural obligation related to ensuring every person's right to life.
