Les Turcs dans Ţiganiada de Ion Budai-Deleanu
No full textLa Ţiganiada d’Ion Budai-Deleanu, un des pères de la langue roumaine moderne, est une épopée placée dans la Munténiedu XVe siècle et structurée sur deux plans : d'une part, un plan comique créé par le pittoresque du campement des « Tsiganes », mobilisés pour combattre les Turcs par le prince Vlad l'Empaleur, surnommé Dracula, et, d'autre part, un plan héroïque constitué par les actions de ce prince et son armée. La promesse d’émancipation des Rroms esclaves, avec attribution d'un territoire, en échange de leur alliance au combat est une pure fiction et même un anachronisme pour le XVe siècle. Mais à travers cette idée, Budai-Deleanu se révèle visionnaire et partisan du mouvement d’abolition de l'esclavage des Rroms qui n'arrivera à ses fins que le 20 février 1856. En raison de son insoumission entêtée au sultan Mahomet II, son courage et ses capacités stratégiques, Vlad l'Empaleur devait rester dans l'histoire roumaine comme un patriote qui voulait protéger son pays contre l'expansion ottomane – même s'il est plus connu à l'étranger sous la caricature d'un vampire. La Ţiganiada doit être appréciée avant tout comme une allégorie où le plan de la fiction remplace souvent le plan réel. Mais l'auteur, chargé d’un idéal patriotique, nous présente aussi le plan réel avec ses particularités historiques et nationales. La lutte opiniâtre de la petite armée roumaine formée de paysans et de boyards permet de retarder l'avancée des Turcs vers l'Europe centrale. Elle laisse ainsi le temps nécessaire à l'Europe de se préparer et de livrer des batailles dans des périodes plus favorables, avec des armes plus puissantes et plus efficaces que celles des Turcs. L'image des Turcs y est en tous points conforme à leur réputation, largement répandue dans les Balkans. Cruauté, perfidie, corruption et absence de compassion les caractérisent d'un bout à l'autre de l'œuvre, l’auteur montre cependant que ces maux n'auraient pu s'exercer sans les bassesses des boyards – voire le propre frère de Vlad, Radu le Bel, homme du sultan.Ţiganiada of Ion Budai-Deleanu, one of the fathers of the modern Romanian language, is an epic placed in the 15th century Muntenia and structured on two plans: one a comical plan created by the picturesque quality of the "Gypsy" camp, mobilized by the prince Vlad the Impaler, named Dracula, to fight the Turks, and the other a heroic plan formed by the actions of this prince and his army. The promise of the emancipation of the Roms slaves, with the assignment of territory, in exchange for their alliance in combat is a pure fiction and even an anachronism for the 15th century. But with this idea Budai-Deleanu shows himself to be a visionary supporter of the movement for the abolition of slavery of the Roms which was not concluded until February 20th 1856. Because of his obstinate rebelliousness against Sultan Mahomet II, his courage and his strategic capacity, Vlad the Impaler must stand in Romanian history as a patriot who wanted to defend his country against Ottoman expansion, even if he is better known elsewhere in the caricature of a vampire.The Ţiganiada must be appreciated above all as an allegory in which fictional level often replaces the real one. But the author, driven by a patriotic ideal, also presents the representation of reality with its historical and national peculiarities. The stubborn struggle of the small Romanian army made up of peasants and nobles allowed the Turkish advance towards central Europe to be retarded. It also gave Europe the time required to prepare and to conduct battles at the most favorable time, with armies more powerful and effective than the Turks'. The image of the Turks conforms in all respects to their reputation, largely gained in the Balkans. Cruelty, perfidy, corruption and lack of compassion characterize them from start to finish of the work, the author shows however that these evils could not be exercised without the degradation of the nobles indeed the true brother of Vlad, Radu le Bel, the sultan's man
Ideea de bine comun și criza sistemelor simbolice de interpretare a lumii în Țiganiada lui Ioan Budai-Deleanu
No full textThis paper aims to once more address the issue of ideological connections and textual lineages which place the work of Ioan Budai-Deleanu in the hypertext of the eighteenth century European culture, an approach that critical analysis often undertook exclusively from the perspective of free and subjective dialectics of text perception. In this case, however, the examination of the textual tradition starts from stipulating an intentio auctoris which, in the opinion of E. D. Hirsch (1967), is leading to the work of art’s meaning, a semantic reality different from the one named significance, configured in the reading process. Central to this argument is the idea that the authorial intention is responsible for the work’s unity and semantic coherence, illustrated by the subordination of the first part of the poem, a panoramic view of epic-heroic genres treated in the burlesque key, to the second (chants X–XII) containing an objective debate on the values of civil life and optimal methods of governance. The debate in the eleventh chant is performed under the direct influence of some famous political philosophy texts (due to Aristotle, Marsilius of Padua, Alonso de Madrigal, and Juan Huarte de San Juan), whose direct undistorted echoes are easy to be seen in the way the author develops the concept of common good. The object of the discourse is the res publica and the principles that define good governance. What kind of individuals requires the city in order to prosper, which attributes of human nature – those are very old questions we can retrieve beginning with the medieval dispute between poetry and philosophy, especially in the early European modernity’s complex rivalry between artes and disciplinae, between orators and jurists. Beyond the many factitious oppositions that can be drawn from it, his philosophical and legal culture, as well as his temperament critically inclined towards the exercise of a demystifying rationality, places Țiganiada’s author on the side of those who feel that a deep understanding of human nature and the relationship between this nature and social dynamics constitute primordial values of any given political community’s existence
The Use of Tranexamic Acid in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review
No full textBackground: There are several papers that investigate the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions (ACLR) or other arthroscopic procedures that show favorable results and little to no complications. We aimed to perform a systematic review of all published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that wanted to determine the effectiveness of intravenous use of TXA in ACLR. Methods: Data collection was performed independently by two authors via a previously created spreadsheet. They extracted information such as: first author name, publication year, lot size, TXA protocol, surgical protocol, outcome measures and follow-up duration. Results: After applying the screening process and the inclusion criteria, we were left with a total six RCTs. The selected studies included a total of 699 randomized patients. Statistical significance regarding a lower pain score (VAS) in the intervention groups was mostly reported for the early postoperative period (2 weeks). A statistically significant decrease in hemarthrosis grade was reported for the first 2–3 weeks. Conclusions: in our study, we show that TXA use in arthroscopic ACLR decreases postoperative blood loss and pain. Some evidence of improvement in functional scores was observed, but we believe that this needs to be addressed in specific long-term result studies

No full textThe article is devoted to one of the periods in the history of Moldovan cantatas — to the decade of the 1950s when the first generation of graduates of the Chisinau conservatory began its independent creative life. On the basis of documents from the archive of the Union of Soviet composers of Moldova the author considers in chronological order some samples of cantatas from the point of view of their merit and demerits revealed in the course of discussion at premiere displays of compositions during creative meetings. As a result of studying the cantatas „Under a Banner of Victories” (1952) by V. Zagorschi on lyrics by A. Alyabov, „Our Dawns” (1954) by S. Lobel on lyrics by E. Bucov, „A Song about the Dniester” (1957) by Z. Tkaci on poetry by E. Loteanu, „Native Lands” (1958) by S. Lungul on a poem by L. Deleanu; „Glory to Young Eagles” (1959) by M. Fishman on a poem by S. Varelopulus, „The October” (1957) by G. Borş on a poem by B. Istru the author draws the conclusion that in general characteristic features of the Soviet cantata are reflected in them
ACL Surgical Technique — Staying Out of Trouble
No full textThe incidence of ACL tear and reconstruction has increased over time, and failure of ACL reconstruction is not perfectly defined among surgeons. Atraumatic failure of ACL surgery represents approximately 70% of causes, and occurs in diagnostic errors, technical errors and problems of ACL graft integrations. Regarding surgical technique, we should answer certain questions about our choice of surgery, tunnel position, graft type, graft suture, tensioning the graft, and how we deal with certain incidents or intraoperative accidents. The purpose of this article is to review the current information and trends of ACL reconstruction, and presents some tips and tricks we use in our current practice
