Territorial symbols registered in the General Armorial of the Republic of Moldova in 2023

Însemne teritoriale înregistrate în armorialul general al republicii Moldova în anul 2023

Author(s): Silviu Andrieș-Tabac / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2024

Keywords: heraldry; vexillology; territorial coat of arms; territorial flag; Republic of Moldova;

The specificity of the year 2023, from the point of view of territorial heraldry, is determined by the fact that this year was an electoral year, with local elections. It is the time when the mayors and local councils rush to honour the promises they made when winning the mandate, to finish their planned and started actions, including the development of local symbolism, to leave a positive image after the activity, especially if they do not will win a new mandate. Under these conditions, at the National Committee of Heraldry under the President of the Republic of Moldova, more files end up being examined for approval than in other years, including some difficult ones, left over from previous years. However, not all approved files reached approval and registration this year, given that with the approach of the elections, things rush and become more difficult, especially because the political dissensions in the councils intensify or because the mayor and elected officials are caught up in urgent activities. However, in 2023, by presidential decrees, the new coats of arms and flags of the following territorial units were registered in the General Armorial of the Republic of Moldova: Dubăsarii Vechi village, Criuleni district (Decree no. 779-IX of January 10); Coșcalia village, Căușeni district (no. 780-IX of January 10); Ruseni village, Ruseni commune, Edineț district (no. 807-IX of January 23); Măcărești village, Măcărești commune, Ungheni district (no. 867-IX of March 23); Căinari city, Căușeni district (no. 1065-IX of August 7); Sociteni village, Ialoveni district (no. 1099-IX of September 1); Cubolta village, Cubolta commune, Sângerei district (no. 1119-IX of Septrember 25); Cucoara village, Cucoara commune, Cahul district (no. 1150-IX of October 23); Sămășcani village, Șoldănești district (no. 1151-IX of October 23); Roșu village, Cahul district (no. 1227-IX of December 7); Izvoare village, Izvoare commune, Florești district (no. 1238-IX of December 13); Pociumbăuți village, Râșcani district (no. 1241-IX of December 14). The methods of developing the symbols remained traditional, predominating the process of the canting arms and the marking of natural, economic or cultural particularities. From a geographical point of view, interest in symbols development remains in the center and south of the country. The main authors and painters of symbols were the same (S. Andrieș-Tabac, Mariana Șlapac, Andrei Gaidașenco and others). And the problems encountered were of the same order as in previous years: insufficient documentation of the locality’s history; lack of consensus on the concept of symbols in local councils; the lack of a sufficient number of theoretical heraldists and trained heraldic painters.

Short Overview of Legislation on National Minorities in Ukraine (1989–2023)

A nemzeti kisebbségekkel kapcsolatos ukrajnai jogalkotás rövid foglalata (1989–2023)

Author(s): Csilla Fedinec / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 4/2024

Keywords: Ukrainian nation; indigenous peoples; autochtonous peoples; national minorities; legislation

The study examines the basic legislation on minorities in Ukraine from 1989 until 2023, when the decision was taken to allow Ukraine (together with Moldova) to begin accession negotiations with the European Union. The early policy of lenient legislation was followed by a policy of tightening and restricting rights from 2014 in response to Russian aggression, which was reversed from 2022 when Ukraine became a candidate for EU membership. The kin states of the two most comparable minorities have reacted differently to the changes. While Hungary does not see this turnaround as a step forward in securitising minority rights and is therefore an obstacle to Ukraine's integration, Romania seeks a broad partnership and believes that the question of the national minorities would be resolved if all Romanians, including those living in Ukraine, lived on equal terms, equal rights, which requires Ukraine to become a member of the EU.

Trends in Civil War Research on South Sudan (2013–2023): A Bibliometric Analysis

Trends in Civil War Research on South Sudan (2013–2023): A Bibliometric Analysis

Author(s): Yenis Contesa,Ahmad Sahide / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2024

Keywords: South Sudan; civil war; bibliometric analysis; peacebuilding; post-conflict recovery; NVIVO 14; VOSviewer; R-ARCSS agreement.

This study examines the evolution of civil war research focused on South Sudan from 2013 to 2023, employing bibliometric analysis to evaluate 120 articles from the Scopus database. The findings reveal key trends, including the thematic transition from exploring the origins and impacts of conflict during the wartime period (2013–2017) to addressing post-conflict recovery and reform following the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS) in 2018. Frequently discussed topics include ethnicity, kleptocracy, and weak state structures during wartime, and reconciliation, sustainable peacebuilding, and social recovery in the post-conflict period. The study identifies significant contributions from prolific authors, geographical patterns in research output, and under-researched areas such as human rights and peacekeeping. By highlighting bibliometric trends and key thematic clusters, the article offers actionable insights for policymakers, scholars, and international stakeholders invested in conflict resolution and peace studies.

Anna KORNBLUH, Immediacy or, The Style of Too Late Capitalism, Verso, 2023

Author(s): Horațiu Tohătan / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2024

What Anna Kornbluh achieves in her volume, Immediacy or, The Style of Too Late Capitalism, is to provide a comprehensive panoramic view of a segment that lies at the heart of today’s apocalyptic ethos: the cultural and socio-economic lack of mediation. Adopting a historicising perspective on the contemporary logic of capitalism — thereby following Fredric Jameson’s methodology to some extent — the author argues that our era can be encapsulated under the concept of “too late capitalism.”

Analysis of Authorship and Collaboration in Journal Bosniaca (1996–2023)

Analiza autorstva i saradnje u časopisu Bosniaca (1996–2023)

Author(s): Senada Dizdar,Lejla Hajdarpašić,Lamija Selhanović / Language(s): Bosnian,English / Issue: 29/2024

Keywords: journal Bosniaca; bibliographic data; bibliometric analysis; autorship; Subramanyam formula;

Goal: The goal of this research is to explore the patterns related to authorship and collaboration of authors of the papers published in the journal Bosniaca: Journal of National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period from 1996 to 2023. Approach/Methodology: During the selection and preparation of the corpus for analysis, bibliographic identifiers of published papers were analysed, and Subramanyam K. formula was used for calculation of the degree of collaboration. A total of 328 papers and 392 authors by occurrence were analyzed (227 unique authors). Results: Identification data of published papers in the period from 1996 to 2023 are gradually stabilizing, and standardization of bibliographic data is accompanied by the strengthening of the international network of authors, and the indexing of the Journal in bibliographic and citation databases. The number of single-authored papers published in the Journal is 85.98%, while the degree of collaboration in Bosniaca from 1996 to 2023 is 0.14, with the number of co-authored papers increasing from 2019. Of those analyzed, the largest number of unique authors comes from Bosnia and Herzegovina (132), followed by the countries of the region (69), and when it comes to the gender structure of unique authors, women are far more represented (159 authors, 70.04%), of which the majority, 88 female authors, also come from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Limitations: This research does not have firm criteria for selecting papers for analysis, also, nonstandardized listing of identification data of paper published in the first issues of the Journal, and manual entry of collected data can affect the research results and possible errors. Originality/value: So far in Bosnia and Herzegovina no bibliometric analysis of Bosnian and Herzegovinian journals in the field of library and information sciences have been conducted. As a contribution to such analysis, this paper presents the first bibliometric analysis of journal Bosniaca: Journal of the National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

COMMENT ON THE JUDGMENT OF THE SUPREME COURT OF 20 JUNE 2023, I KS 15/23

COMMENT ON THE JUDGMENT OF THE SUPREME COURT OF 20 JUNE 2023, I KS 15/23

Author(s): Adrianna Wączek / Language(s): English / Issue: 4 ENG/2024

Keywords: appellate court; evidentiary proceedings; model of appellate proceedings; evidence; principle;

This study focuses on the issue of evidentiary proceedings before the appellate court inPolish criminal procedure. As a result of the considerations undertaken, the author expressesapproval of the position of the Supreme Court, according to which the appellate court, uponfinding specific content deficiencies in certain personal and non-personal evidence, is not onlyauthorised but also obliged to conduct evidentiary proceedings autonomously. The provision ofArticle 452 of the Code of Criminal Procedure serves as the fundamental criterion for assessingthe validity of this view. The application of the historical method in the interpretation processindicates that the repeal of the first section of Article 452 of the Code of Criminal Procedure,which previously stated that ‘the appellate court may not conduct evidentiary proceedings asto the substance of the case,’ contributed to establishing the principle of the appellate courtconducting evidence hearings on the merits. The argumentation in this regard is enriched bythe joint interpretation of Article 427 § 3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection withArticle 452 § 2 and 3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Populism and Discontent: A Spatial Analysis of the 2023 Czech Presidential Election

Populism and Discontent: A Spatial Analysis of the 2023 Czech Presidential Election

Author(s): Jonáš Suchánek,Aleš Michal / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2024

Keywords: Czechia; populism; anti-populism; geography of discontent; spatial analysis

While populism has kept the attention of scholars for years, only a handfulof elections have presented as clear-cut a distinction between populism andanti-populism as the face-off between Andrej Babiš and Petr Pavel in the 2023Czech presidential elections. To investigate the factors behind the electoralsupport for the populist candidate Babiš, we first discuss populist and antipopulist approaches and connect them to the emerging literature on the geographyof discontent. Then, we analyse census data at the municipality level usingtwo regression models: the ordinary least squares and spatial error methods.The spatial error regression variant is helpful when analysing aggregate data asit evaluates the spatial clustering of residuals. Overall, we conclude that Babišwas most successful in regions marked by socioeconomic deprivation andsocial capital deficiencies. Consequently, based on the overarching theoretical framework and empirical findings, we suggest several implications that couldhelp mitigate political discontent in the future.

EVALUATION OF THE CONDUCT OF FISCAL-BUDGETARY POLICY IN ROMANIA, IN THE PERIOD 2008 - 2023

EVALUAREA CONDUITEI POLITICII FISCAL-BUGETARE DIN ROMANIA, IN PERIOADA 2008 - 2023

Author(s): Ionel Leonida,Cosmin Octavian Cepoi / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2024

Keywords: fiscal-budgetary policy; cyclically adjusted budget balance; actual balance; fiscal impulse; fiscal position

In the proposed paper, we analyze the conduct of the fiscal-budgetary policy in Romania, in the period 2008-2023, based on the cyclically adjusted budget balance indicator, respectively its variations from one year to the next, in relation to the state of the economic cycle, analyzed on the basis of the output indicator gap. Through this synchronized analysis we can evaluate the conduct of the fiscal-budgetary policy in relation to theoretical benchmarks regarding its action in different phases of the economic cycle. The usefulness of the analysis is relevant from the perspective of the effective actions of the fiscal-budgetary policy on the fluctuations of the economic cycle, either in the sense of tempering them, respectively an anti-cyclical character, or of amplifying them, respectively a pro-cyclical character. The conduct of the fiscal-budgetary policy in relation to the economic state, becomes an increasingly important element, in the context of the increase in the frequency of shocks on the economy, in the adequacy and design of fiscal-budgetary strategies in the short and medium term, but also in the context of the European fiscal framework (discipline and fiscal consolidation), so as to ensure macroeconomic stability.

Origins and activities the Foundation ‘Mater Dei’ in Malbork (2007–2023)

Powstanie i działalność Fundacji „Mater Dei” w Malborku (2007–2023)

Author(s): Agata Grochowska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 25/2024

Keywords: Malbork; Mater Dei Foundation; sacred art; Madonna figure; Malbork Castle;

This article introduces the activities of the ‘Mater Dei’ Foundation, which was established on 25 May 2007 in Malbork. Its main objective became the effort to restore the mosaic figure of the Madonna in the outer niche of the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Malbork Castle. This monumental sculpture, made of so-called artificial stone, was the first Prussian realisation of the depiction of a crowned Madonna en plein pied raising the Child on her left arm. Its creation was connected with the completion of construction work on the extension to the castle church in 1343. Unfortunately, the statue was completely destroyed during the war effort in 1945. The article presented here is divided into paragraphs introducing the following in turn: the rebirth of civic associations and foundations in Poland after the collapse of the communist system, the creation of the Mater Dei Foundation, the stages of the rebuilding of the statue of the Madonna of Malbork, and further activities of the Mater Dei Foundation.
