Semantic Theory in Ainkurunuru
Authors: S Sureshkumar 
Published: January 2024

The Tamil language can be said to be the oldest of the world's languages. Tamil literature deals with various aspects of life. They contain a variety of literature, grammar, stories, essays, poems, proverbs, etc. Moreover, the Sangam literature depicts everyday life. From the Sangam age to the present period, a variety of writers and books have appeared. The Sangam literature consists of a large number of sections viz., Ettutthokai, Patthuppaattu, and Pathinen Kilkanakku books. Though there is Akam and Puram in the Ettutthokai of Sangam literature, in the third of Ainkurunooru ten songs to each of five thinais, that is five hundred songs are found. All of these songs were sung by different poets at different times and in different contexts. Though all the Pulavars are Tamils, they all belong to different periods. The Tamil language can vary from time to time. Therefore, the vocabulary of each scholar can vary. It was the Ettutthokai that beautifully illustrated the conditions of life of the people of the Sangam age and compiled them as well as illustrated them clearly. Moreover, the Ettutthokai volume of books has shown the true feelings of the people of the Sangam age such as valour, love, justice, benevolence, humanity, pride, and warmth. In Sangam literature, the imaginary lines about love are classified as Akam and the fields of life such as heroism, love, charity, etc., are classified as Puram.

Authors: SKULIMOWSKI Stanisław , MONTUSIEWICZ Jerzy , BADUROWICZ Marcin 
Published: January 2024

The article addresses the challenge of reconstructing 2D broken pictorial objects by automating the search for matching elements, which is particularly relevant in fields like archaeology and forensic science. The authors propose a method to match such elements and streamline the search process by detecting and filtering out low quality matches.
The study delves into optimizing the search process in terms of duration and assembly quality. It examines factors like comparison window length, Levenshtein measure margin, and number of variants to check, using theoretical calculations and experiments on synthetic elements. The experimental results demonstrate enhanced method effectiveness, yielding more useful solutions and significantly reducing the complexity of element comparisons by up to 100 times in extreme cases.
Symbolism of a detail. Architectural masterpieces of the UNESCO Heritage Town of Zamość
Authors: Kielin Katarzyna 
Published: January 2024

The Town of Zamość is located in the south-eastern part of Poland and is the worldwide UNESCO Heritage fortress whose beginning dates back to the end of the 16th century. Built in cruda radice, the Zamość architectural value derives primarily from its unique, historical plan which remained the original compositional form envisioned by a brilliant, broad-minded, ambitious man of European Renaissance – Jan Zamoyski. Urban layout of the Town mimics the anthropomorphic distribution of key body parts encapsuled within the frame of the most up-to-date examples of ‘architectura militaris’ for those times. The smart spatial organization of space allowed not only for the flexible introduction of new functions in larger, urban scale but also the exposition of the intricate beauty of architectural ornamentation and detail of crucial representative buildings. Within the plethora of reverberating, classic examples of details there are also some which convey important, symbolic meaning which is very much connected to the history of the Town.

Scaramuccia nel teatro di strada. Una proposta di ‘attribuzionismo teatrale’
Authors: Gozzano Natalia 
Published: January 2024

In the Museo di Roma at Palazzo Braschi there is a painting attributed to an anonymous Flemish painter of the 17th century depicting a theatre scene in Piazza Pasquino, whose iconography differs from the usual depiction of this subject spread by bamboozling painters in the 17th century.
Instead of being crowded at the foot of a raised stage – as was typical in works depicting charlatans accompanied by the comedians of the Commedia dell’arte – the spectators are arranged in a circle around them. And, above all, the character in the centre of the scene has the physiognomy and costume typical of the actor Tiberio Fiorilli (1608-1694) as Scaramuccia. This identification is based on iconographic comparisons with printed works and two paintings by Pietro Paolini.
Fiorilli’s presence in Rome and the social context in which he is documented are intertwined with the history of the urban space depicted in the painting, taking into account architectural, iconographic, and literary elements. On the basis of these elements, the work can be dated to between the 1630s and 1640s, a little-known period in Fiorilli’s life. Before conquering the stages frequented by the aristocracy and kings, the young actor may have begun to build his character in the street theatre made up of Commedia dell’Arte masks and charlatans with which the city was teeming.

Toys, Advertisements, and Gender Roles: a Research on three Italian Television Channels for Children
Authors: Baiata Claudia , Pacetti Elena 
Published: January 2024

Throughout history, toys have always represented an essential means to portray societies’ values and cultural identities, passing on morals, expectations, and traditions to the next generations. Gender stereotypes are present even in today’s toys, depicting fixed gender roles and conditioning children’s preferences in playing. The present study investigated three Italian television channels for children, to analyse to what extent gender stereotypes are conveyed through children’s toy advertisements. The findings indicate that gender biases are present in a large number of tv commercials, although a new trend of inclusive toys is gaining momentum, in ways that don’t limit children’s choices and predilection.

Giocattoli, pubblicità e ruoli di genere: una ricerca su tre canali televisivi italiani per bambini.
Nel corso della storia, i giocattoli hanno sempre rappresentato un mezzo essenziale per rappresentare i valori e le identità culturali delle società, trasmettendo morale, aspettative e tradizioni alle generazioni successive. Gli stereotipi di genere sono presenti anche nei giocattoli di oggi, raffigurando ruoli di genere fissi e condizionando le preferenze dei/lle bambini/e nel gioco. Il presente studio ha indagato tre canali televisivi italiani per bambini/e, per analizzare in che misura gli stereotipi di genere sono trasmessi attraverso le pubblicità dei giocattoli per bambini/e. I risultati indicano che i pregiudizi di genere sono presenti in un gran numero di spot televisivi, anche se una nuova tendenza di giocattoli inclusivi sta acquisendo importanza, in modi che non limitano le scelte e la predilezione dei/lle bambini/e.

Authors: Paiano Anna Paola , Iorio Carla , Di Genova Nicoletta 
Published: January 2024

More than a year after the Moscow government's invasion of Ukraine, it seemed necessary to initiate a study to investigate how the New Arrivals in Italy (NAI) reception practices were implemented by Italian schools in the school year 2021/2022, following the emergency. The definition of the research theoretical framework focus on the concepts of emergency and interculture, intended as continuous processes of re-adaptation and re-organization. The data highlight the strengths and weaknesses found by the school in the reception process. The data collected about the effectiveness of the actions carried out by the school relates to what is desired and prescribed by ministerial documents. It emerges the need for a pedagogical system for the management of reception in emergency, in a circular perspective that is reflected in the theory-practice-theory nexus.

L’accoglienza dei Neo Arrivati in Italia in fuga dalla guerra. Uno studio sulle pratiche adottate dalle scuole.

Authors: Jabri Abdelhafid 
Published: January 2024

This article sets out to explore the prospects of integrating soft skills in Moroccan higher education, with particular emphasis on Mohammed I University. Once Morocco expressed its desire to adopt a soft-skill-based system in 2021, scholars have underscored the benefits of equipping university students with the necessary skills for their employability. This study is part of this growing attention to the Moroccan experience. Building on the perceptions of twenty English language teachers and twenty public sector employees who graduated from Mohammed I university, it investigates the following queries: Do soft skills play a key role in the professional life of those university graduates? Which soft skills should be more emphasized in higher education? And how can they be integrated in the university curriculum? Results suggest that while the two groups of participants had different views about which soft skills to be more emphasized, both agree that extra-curricular activities and ongoing professor training are key to their integration in higher education provided that due attention is given to social interaction. This study can bring new insights into the real needs of the Moroccan job market.

Techniques for Manipulating Public Opinion in the Online Space During an Election Campaign as a Hybrid Threat
Authors: Hajdúková Tatiana 
Published: January 2024

A characteristic element of democratic society is the right of citizens to express their will in free elections. Fears about the future lower the credibility of public institutions and make it easier to interfere in electoral processes, which motivates many calculated attempts to fragment political debates. The present study points to tools that can be used to influence public opinion in the online space. Emphasis is put on the EU 27 countries, where an analysis of the development of Internet use was carried out. The goal of the paper is to point out other methods of manipulation available in the online environment, such as disinformation, defamation of a specific candidate, and artificial intelligence, which are employed and misused to massively influence public opinion. Regulation in this area is questionable, because restricting freedom of expression of a political nature directly affects a democracy, for which the widest freedom of expression is crucial. The article points out new legislative changes taking place in the EU which are focused on tightening the rules of political advertising.

Transitional Justice Status in Albania Through Local Perceptions
Authors: Dedej Arian , Stasa Ines , Medici Lorenzo 
Published: January 2024

This research article aims to enhance regional studies with a focus on the Balkan peninsula, by providing a comprehensive analysis of the extent of transitional justice mechanisms in Albania and its local perception among the citizens. With the fall of military dictatorships in Latin America in 1980s, the breakup of the Soviet Union and the emergence of new states in 1990s, the concept of Transitional Justice (TJ) saw a significant rise in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This was further propelled by the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989), the prolonged breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1992) as well as the fall of the communist dictatorship in Albania (1990). The emergence of new states and the state-building processes that followed the political and social changes also brought new challenges and conflicts, although they marked the end of significantly repressive political regimes. Considering that the implementation of TJ has undergone several changes over time and dependent of the different settings in which it was employed, it is necessary to conduct extensive research to determine the extent to which TJ differs in post-communist and post-conflict nations. The main research question of this article is: How is reflected the current status of transitional justice in Albania in the lens of public perceptions? To achieve the goal, this article employs quantitative data through a survey conducted with 1021 respondents in Albania. The results of the study show that there are significant differences between the responses of participants who reported having knowledge of Transitional Justice and those who reported being unaware, particularly with their understanding of the number of victims affected. p-value <0.05.
