Pragmatism and Ideology in Russian-German Energy Relations
Authors: Sugonyaev Р. M. 
Published: September 2024

For a long time, cooperation between Russia and Germany in the energy sector was based on bilateral interests and economic pragmatism, but recently in its relations with Russia the Federal Republic of Germany has been demonstrating ideologisation and loss of sovereignty in the important sphere of energy supply. This article investigated the history of bilateral energy relations, their characteristics, the political consequences of their disruption, and the results of the German energy policy. The results of the study include quantitative data on the volume of energy co-operation between the two states in the energy sector, as well as the status and dynamics of the German energy sector over the last 30 years. The main conclusions of the study are: 1) the thesis of Germany’s declining opportunities on the world stage because of its shrinking economic power has been proved.2) The assumption of the importance of low-cost energy supplies from Russia for Germany has been confirmed. 3) The vulnerability of the German political system to external influence through destructive political forces has been revealed. The final conclusion was that ideology has taken priority over pragmatism in German energy and foreign policy towards Russia in recent years.

Soil samples were collected from highly saline pastures in the Ili district of the Almaty region of Kazakhstan. 12 strains of phosphate-mobilizing bacteria were isolated from the samples. A study of the resistance of strains to salt stress showed that only five of 12 strains had high salt tolerance. A study of the ability of strains to mobilize phosphates under severe salt stress showed that with increasing salinity, mobilization activity decreased. Three promising salt-tolerant strains of phosphate-mobilizing bacteria were selected, in which high salt stress slightly reduced the activity of phosphate mobilization.
Проведен сбор образцов почв на сильнозасоленных пастбищах в Илийском районе Алматинской области Казахстана. Из образцов выделено 12 штаммов фосфатмобилизующих бактерий. Исследование устойчивости штаммов к солевому стрессу показало, что только пять из 12 штаммов обладали высокой солеустойчивостью. Изучение способности штаммов к мобилизации фосфатов при сильном солевом стрессе показало, что с увеличением засоленнности активность мобилизации снижалась. Отобрано три перспективных солетолерантных штамма фосфатмобилизующихбактерий, у которых высокий солевой стресс незначительно снизил активность мобилизации фосфатов.
EXPERIÊNCIAS EM FEEDBACK DOS DISCENTES DE CIÊNCIAS CONTÁBEIS NA AVALIAÇÃO DE APRENDIZAGEM NO ENSINO REMOTO

Published: September 2024

O presente estudo tem por objetivo identificar as experiências dos discentes quanto ao feedback na avaliação de aprendizagem nos componentes curriculares ofertados na modalidade de ensino remoto, durante o período da Covid-19. Com o método indutivo na observação dos fatos, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, na qual foi disponibilizado um questionário com questões objetivas, via formulário do Google Forms, com os discentes do curso de bacharelado em ciências contábeis de uma universidade pública, modalidade presencial, que passaram pela experiência do ensino remoto, sendo que um total de 117 discentes aceitaram participar da pesquisa. Os resultados evidenciam que mais da metade dos pesquisados receberam, em parte, feedbacks positivos dos docentes após as avaliações de suas atividades durante o ensino remoto, ou seja, uns professores apresentaram e outros não, uma vez que o ensino remoto pode prejudicar os feedbacks positivos de maneira individual. Quanto aos feedbacks corretivos, 54 estudantes relataram que receberam de uns professores e de outros não os feedbacks corretivos após realizarem as atividades avaliativas. Houve algumas dificuldades para o fornecimento dos feedbacks, tais como: o fator tempo limita o envio dos feedbacks para 51 dos discentes e a quantidade de discentes na turma pode tornar inviável a disponibilização dos feedbacks individuais após as atividades avaliativas, na percepção de 60 dos pesquisados. A presente pesquisa contribui com a discussão sobre o envio dos feedbacks individuais pelos docentes aprimorando o processo ensino-aprendizagem na construção de diálogo e parâmetros para a autoavaliação pelos discentes nos processos de avaliação formativa. Para futuros estudos é sugerido ampliar a pesquisa para outras universidades, por esta estar limitada a uma universidade pública.

Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a non-invasive imaging modality that has high accuracy for evaluation of the biliary and pancreatic ducts. The current study aims to assess the role of MRCP in finding various pancreaticobiliary pathologies. It was a retrospective study, data was collected from 659 patients who underwent MRCP at MRI unit Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi. Chi-Square was applied to find the difference in the prevalence of various disorders. The presenting indication in our data shows 72% of patients with pain (abdominal, epigastric and right hypochondrium) followed by jaundice in 11.3% participants. Our results indicate that the most common pancreaticobiliary disorders were obstructive including cholelithiasis along with choledocholithiasis (8.3%), cholelithiasis (17.8%) CBD stricture (16.4%) and acute pancreatitis (10.9%). Moreover, our data also showed that the obstructive disorders particularly cholelithiasis (20.9%vs 13.7%) was more common in females as compared to males. We also showed that neoplastic disorders were more prevalent in the age group 53-65, whereas strictures were more common in the 39-52 age group, and we have observed higher prevalence of inflammatory disorders in age group 27-39. MRCP allows the evaluation of pancreaticobiliary disorders with high accuracy. Being non-invasive, MRCP can be used in early diagnosis and preventive treatment of pancreaticobiliary disease thereby facilitating accurate diagnosis and subsequent clinical management.
Impact of physical activity on pelvic floor dysfunction in older women: A cross-sectional study in type D hospital, Khanpur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Authors: Arooj Fatima  , Haifa Tahir Khan  , Faryal Jahan  , Sohail Ahmad  , Hina Javed  
Published: September 2024

This longitudinal research investigates the effect of physical activity on abdominal disorders, resulting in incontinence of urine (UI) and sexual dysfunction (FSD), among older women. Conducted at Type D Hospital, Khanpur, District Haripur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the study involved women aged 60 and above, divided into physically active and non-active groups. Data was collected using information about physical activity, The Worldwide Conference on Female Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF) for UI evaluation, and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) for evaluating reproductive activity. The abdominal muscle contraction was evaluated using the Perfect Scheme. Results revealed that physical activity did not significantly influence UI or FSD severity in the study population. Despite high prevalence rates of UI (48.6%) and FSD (45.7%) and some variations in PFM function, no substantial differences were observed between physically active and non-active groups regarding UI frequency, severity, or sexual function. These findings suggest that while physical activity may improve PFM functionality, its impact on UI and FSD in older women may be limited. Further research is needed to explore integrated treatment approaches and validate these results.
Benigni's La vita è bella: Viktor Frankl and the Alchemy of Meaning
Authors: Perry Alan R. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
More than twenty years after the release of the film, scholarly debate still addresses whether or not Roberto Benigni's La vita è bella made light of the Holocaust. In this study, Viktor Frankl's ontological assertions in Man's Search for Meaning, provide a platform to grasp how even concentration life can be experienced as beautiful despite unimaginable horror. As such, the filmmaker's presentation of Nazi abuses as a game need not denigrate the memory of the millions who suffered. A few scholarly studies have linked Frankl and Benigni but not primarily at the level of how humans assign meaning. While focusing on Frankl, this inquiry also considers the ethical dimension of representing the Holocaust through humor.
Nuove migrazioni negli USA. Una riconsiderazione della mobilità italiana contemporanea
Authors: Vellucci Sabrina 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
I due volumi che compongono New Italian Migrations to the United States, a cura di Laura E. Ruberto e Joseph Sciorra, segnano un punto di svolta negli studi sulla cultura dell'America italiana poiché colmano un vuoto nelle ricerche intorno alla diaspora italiana negli Stati Uniti – studi che pure, finalmente, anche in Italia, stanno conoscendo da qualche tempo una discreta fioritura. I saggi raccolti nei due volumi, nel loro complesso, aprono prospettive di ricerca nuove, che rivitalizzano gli Italian American Studies e si pongono al contempo come modello di riferimento per altri ambiti di ricerca che hanno a che fare con le culture e le identità etniche nate per effetto delle migrazioni.

From Compassio to Transitus: Marian Beatrice and Dante in the Inferno and the Purgatorio
Authors: Kim Jieon 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This essay, written as a sequel to “From Passio to Compassio: Marian Beatrice and Dante in the Vita Nuova” (Kim), first observes Beatrice, Vergil, and Dante imitating and enacting Mary in the Inferno and then interprets the otherworldly meeting between Beatrice and Dante in the Purgatorio as celebrating the Marian Dante's Assumption to the Paradiso.
A Note on Oratorio Sant'Elena al Calvario by Pietro Metastasio
Authors: Della Corte Federico 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This essay examines how Metastasio organizes the oratorio's musicality between recitativo and arias, and how he links such two parts or aspects. Furthermore, it underscores how the hidden quotations and the use of Latinisms are not to be considered for the élite, since they are quiet understandable by a public endowed with average culture. At the end, Metastasio's typical, internal personality split is projected onto the division between Christians and non-Christians.
Fare i conti con la morte: un debito di Ungaretti con Jacopone
Authors: Sbacchi Diego 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Il binomio vita-morte è uno dei temi più diffusi della letteratura di tutti i tempi, per questo il presente saggio circoscrive l'indagine a due soli autori, Jacopone da Todi e Ungaretti, e ad un verso in particolare di quest'ultimo, cioè il famoso “La morte / si sconta / vivendo” che chiude la poesia Sono una creatura. L'ipotesi che si vuole dimostrare è che i due poeti condividono lo stesso modo di pensare la morte che è nella vita, tanto che lo esprimono entrambi facendo ricorso al lessico dell'ambito economico.
Il racconto della migrazione in Canale Mussolini. Storia, geografia e dinamiche identitarie
Authors: Colombi Roberta 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Canale Mussolini presenta, all'interno di un ampio scenario storico che va dalle origini del Fascismo ai giorni della Liberazione, le vicende della famiglia Peruzzi, antenati del narratore, la quale partecipò all'esodo biblico che rese possibile la bonifica delle paludi pontine, voluta da Mussolini. Oltre a presentare una riscrittura problematica della nostra Storia nazionale, una contro-narrazione che dà voce ad un'esperienza collettiva rimossa, il romanzo si presta ad una lettura “postcoloniale” di quella migrazione interna. Grazie al ricorso all'eterocronia, all'eterotopia, come pure all'uso estensivo della catacresi per definire lo straniero (cispadano, marocchino, apache, colono), l'autore riesce a suggerire una dimensione di relativismo temporale che consente di cogliere nel racconto di questa migrazione un'occasione di riflessione sulle dinamiche egemoniche e conflittuali che l'incontro con l'Altro e/o l'Altrove scatena, sia esso esule, colonizzato o profugo. Il romanzo così, attraverso la storia specifica di quella migrazione, ci parla della condizione dell'esule migrante di tutti i tempi che, nel distacco dalla propria terra e nell'incontro con l'alterità (geografica e culturale), verifica la propria identità, i propri valori.
Andreotti as the Katéchon: Notes on Political Theology in Paolo Sorrentino's Il Divo
Authors: Fioretti Daniele 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Italian Political Cinema is one of the most distinctive trends in Italian cinematic production. Paolo Sorrentino's Il Divo proposes a new approach to this trend that includes both historical documentation and flamboyant postmodern visual style. However, this movie is not only an exposé of Giulio Andreotti's controversial political career: it is also a reflection on power, a recurring theme in Sorrentino's filmography. The article analyzes Il Divo under the points of view of Biopolitics and Political Theology, making reference in particular to Roberto Esposito's Due. La macchina della teologia politica e il posto del pensiero (2013), and Massimo Cacciari's Il potere che frena (2013).
Della sovversione del soggetto nel Tristano di Nanni Balestrini
Authors: Sala Luigi 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
L'articolo intende analizzare il romanzo Tristano di Nanni Balestrini alla luce delle nozioni di realtà e di soggetto. Dimostrando che la realtà non è una totalità sincronica e che il soggetto non è una sostanza, l'articolo rileva in che modo Balestrini rappresenta, dal punto di vista formale e diegetico, questi due aspetti. Servendosi di un calcolatore elettronico e di calcoli algoritmici, lo scrittore crea, infatti, un romanzo che è multiplo nella misura in cui ogni calcolo informatico genera una versione differente del romanzo stesso. Ogni copia di esso è pertanto unica. Ciò riproduce, sul piano artistico-formale, la frammentazione della realtà in parti transitorie e la de-sostanzializzazione del soggetto che non ha coscienza della realtà in sé (come totalità), ma solo dei suoi eventi imprevedibili. Il soggetto (l'autore) cessa così d'essere il padrone dell'opera lasciando che sia la tecnica stessa a elaborare il testo. Soggetto e oggetto si equivalgono funzionalmente.
Teachers, Students and Social Margins on the Italian Screen
Authors: Annelli Carlo 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
An exploration of six telefilmic and cinematic works reveals two cardinal narratives involving teacher protagonists and the marginalized students they serve. The first is that of the archetypal teacher's journey, based on Joseph Campbell's monomyth, as depicted in Vittorio De Seta's Diario di un maestro (1973), Lina Wertmüller's Io speriamo che me la cavo (1992) and Giorgia Cecere's Il primo incarico (2010). The second narrative extends from the first and situates teacher protagonists in a triad of force relations, based on Italo Calvino's analysis of I promessi sposi, updated to reflect contemporary dynamics hindering the interracial and intercultural integration of immigrant students in Carlo Mazzacurati's La giusta distanza (2007), Francesco Patierno's Cose dell'altro mondo (2010) and Daniele Gaglianone's La mia classe (2013).
Crescenzo Del Monte, jodìo romano: A Jewish-Roman Poet and Linguist in Fascist Italy
Authors: Leisawitz Daniel 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The poetry and socio-linguistic scholarship of Crescenzo Del Monte (Rome, 1868-1935) represent an important contribution to the understanding and preservation of Giudaico-Romanesco, the dialect of the Jews of Rome. Del Monte's assertion that Giudaico-Romanesco represents the closest living descendent of the spoken language of Ancient Rome and the medieval Italian vernacular of Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio, came into irreconcilable conflict with the anti-Semitic, xenophobic, and dialectophobic policies of the regime as the Fascists took control of Italy and exercised ever stricter control over cultural production. Del Monte's work remains fundamental to an understanding of the culture and language of the Jews of Rome in the decades leading up to and following their political emancipation.

Sull'insegnamento della letteratura italiana
Authors: Tellini Gino 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
L'articolo considera la questione dell'insegnamento della letteratura italiana, nel triennio delle scuole superiori e nei corsi universitari di Didattica della letteratura italiana, destinati a futuri docenti. Si sofferma sull'importanza degli studi letterari e sul significato che oggi spetta alle ricerche di tale area disciplinare. Prende in esame il volume collettivo appena pubblicato, Didattica della letteratura italiana. Riflessioni e proposte applicative (2020), e ne illustra l'impianto e le finalità. Si tratta di un volume complesso, che inaugura la collana Letteratura Italiana. Testi, Studi, Strumenti promossa dall'Adi (Associazione degli Italianisti) e dall'Adi-Sd (Adi-Sezione didattica). Il volume, frutto di un impegno collettivo (21 autori, docenti universitari e docenti di liceo), è articolato in 18 capitoli, e si offre come strumento di lavoro (avverte la quarta di copertina) “per chi ogni giorno deve comunicare in classe i valori della nostra letteratura ai ragazzi di oggi, in una società in movimento, globalizzata, multimediale e multietnica”. Le “riflessioni” e le “proposte” sono aperte al dialogo, in una prospettiva di confronto pluralistico.
Ricordo di Franco Fido
Authors: Buccini Stefania 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
La scomparsa di Franco Fido, avvenuta il 23 giugno 2020, ha destato vivo cordoglio nella comunità accademica. Intellettuale di fama internazionale, vissuto fra l'Italia, la Francia e gli Stati Uniti, Fido ha dedicato la sua intera esistenza agli studi letterari percorrendo un arco cronologico ampio in cui il Settecento ha occupato un posto privilegiato. Attraverso le sue letture critiche, in grado di coniugare in modo esemplare rigore filologico e acribia esegetica, diverse generazioni di studiosi si sono potute avvalere non solo della sua immensa cultura, ma anche del suo rigoroso e antidogmatico metodo di lettura. Dai saggi imperniati su singoli autori alle panoramiche che percorrono vari secoli della storia della letteratura, il tratto distintivo degli studi di Fido va individuato in una profonda e moderna sensibilità umanistica che gli ha permesso di frequentare vari versanti della tradizione letteraria con impareggiabile competenza.
Task-Based Language Teaching of Italian: A One-Year Case Study
Authors: Means Tom 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This article is a description of a second-semester elementary Italian course that utilized task-based language teaching (TBLT) as the teaching and learning methodology. The same course was taught to two different sections over the course of one year, both sections had 30 students. This case study has two priorities: 1) to share a contextually feasible model of TBLT as a foreign language that is supported by relevant research and 2) to share the reflections of both the learners and the teacher involved. A qualitative analysis of the students’ impressions demonstrates that the students believed the course was effective and enjoyable and met the overall goal of TBLT: What they learned in the classroom could be put to practical usage in the outside world.
Edith Bruck's Poetry in/and the New Millennium
Authors: Balma Philip 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This paper examines the first three collections of poetry by Hungarian-born author and Holocaust survivor Edith Bruck, which were recently reprinted in the volume Versi vissuti: poesie (1975-1990), edited by Michela Meschini. It does so in the context of a discussion on her poetic endeavors and the way her work is marketed in Italy. After a brief bio-bibliographical introduction this study transitions to a close reading of a selection of her lyrics that stand out for their urgency, their impact on readers, and the universal, ubiquitous nature of the message they convey – one that is just as relevant today as it was when they were first released. In other words, analyzing this new edition of Bruck's poems highlights Meschini's objectives in bringing them “into” the third millennium: to allow readers to revisit some of the most significant translingual poems ever published in Italian.
Periphaural Vision: Sound and the Rhizomatic Re-tuning of Tele-vision in Fellini's La voce della luna
Authors: Hough-Dugdale Amy 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This essay argues that Federico Fellini's La voce della luna contrasts two differing modes of viewership: a dominant, commercialized mode of vision occasioned by the medium of television, and what the author calls “periphaural vision: a creative mode of visual perception that expands and transforms along sonically rhizomatic pathways. The essay notes Fellini's frequent late-career critique of television and identifies in Fellini's critique a kind of “tele-vision” destructive of creative spectatorship. Noting, through close analysis, the importance of the peripheral and the sonic in La voce della luna, and relating it to Deleuze and Guattari's notions of the rhizomatic and “far-seeing,” the essay reads – and listens to – the film as an opportunity both to denounce “tele-vision” and to guide viewers toward more creative and intuitive modes of perception beyond conventionally cinematic and televisual regimes of the visual.
