On names in Mažuranić’s epic The Death of Smail-Agha Čengić (Smrt Smail-age Čengića)
Iako sam o leksikografskoj obradi Mažuranićeve pjesni Smrt Smail-age Čengića već pisao, ostalo je podosta toga o čemu još treba progovoriti. Tom dijelu pripada i rasprava o imenima u Mažuranićevoj Smrti. Ovo je, čini mi se, ponajbolja prigoda da se o tome prozbori u članku koji je posvećen Svečaru.Starting from his overall lexicographic approach to Mažuranić’s epic The Death of Smail-Agha Čengić, the author focuses his attention here on the analysis of its corpus of names. Most studies of the epic to date have not paid special attention to the onomastic material although it was partly incorporated into Benešić’s Dictionary of the Croatian Literary Language. The author believes that a dictionary of words used in an individual literary work or in complete works of an author, i.e. a Writer’s Dictionary, should contain all the words with their meanings, including proper names (anthroponyms, place names and ethnonyms), especially since proper names as a category do not rank very low on a frequency scale. Even if a name appeared only once in a given work (e.g. in Mažuranić’s The Death of Smail-Agha Čengić), it should nevertheless be included in a dictionary. In compiling a complete dictionary of Mažuranić’s poem The Death of Smail- Agha Čengić, the author has found that the poem contains slightly less than 6.000 words (including all word forms), or 1.661 headwords used in 1.134 verses and 5 cantos of the epic: Agovanje, Noćnik, Četa, Harač and Kob. The corpus contains approximately eighty forms of onomastic names and their adjectival derivations, which can be considered as onomastic headwords. The author lists names in the alphabetical order together with the number of their occurrences and variants (in brackets), thus presenting their collocations as well. They will subsequently be listed according to semantic categories and frequency
GAVELLA’S READER’S VIEW ON THE POEM DEATH OF SMAIL-AGA ČENGIĆ
This paper analyses Gavella’s essay called Poetic structure of Mažuranić’s Smail-aga (1961) which, based on the example of canonical literary text, summarizes the author’s principal and theoretical views about the relationship between literature and dramatic performance. Following his insight that dramatization of a literary text, in the first place, requires a reading-interpretative effort kept within the frames of textual analysis of linguistic material, the second part of this paper represents the reading of controversial textual points in Mažuranić’s poem in the light of Gavella’s interpretative guidelines. At the same time, metatextual signals are shown to be essential for understanding Smail-aga, the analysis of the correlation between narrator and author, the status of the storyteller, and the associated shift in understanding of poetic language from constative to performative
Testing the evolutionary link between submillimetre galaxies and quasars: CO observations of QSOs at z~2
We have used the IRAM Plateau de Bure millimetre interferometer and the UKIRT 1–5 μm Imager Spectrometer (UIST) to test the connection between the major phases of spheroid growth and nuclear accretion by mapping CO emission in nine submillimetre-detected QSOs at z= 1.7–2.6 with black hole (BH) masses derived from near-infrared spectroscopy. When combined with one QSO obtained from the literature, we present sensitive CO(3–2) or CO(2–1) observations of 10 submillimetre-detected QSOs selected at the epoch of peak activity in both QSOs and submillimetre (submm) galaxies (SMGs). CO is detected in 5/6 very optically luminous (MB∼−28) submm-detected QSOs with BH masses MBH≃ 109–1010 M⊙, confirming the presence of large gas reservoirs of Mgas≃ 3.4 × 1010 M⊙. Our BH masses and dynamical mass constraints on the host spheroids suggest, at face value, that these optically luminous QSOs at z= 2 lie about an order of magnitude above the local BH–spheroid relation, MBH/Msph, although this result is dependent on the size and inclination of the CO-emitting region. However, we find that their BH masses are ∼30 times too large and their surface density is ∼300 times too small to be related to typical SMGs in an evolutionary sequence. Conversely, we measure weaker CO emission in four fainter (MB∼−25) submm-detected QSOs with properties, BH masses (MBH≃ 5 × 108 M⊙), and surface densities similar to SMGs. These QSOs appear to lie near the local MBH/Msph relation, making them plausible ‘transition objects’ in the proposed evolutionary sequence linking QSOs to the formation of massive young galaxies and BHs at high redshift. We show that SMGs have a higher incidence of bimodal CO line profiles than seen in our QSO sample, which we interpret as an effect of their relative inclinations, with the QSOs seen more face-on. Finally, we find that the gas masses of the four fainter submm-detected QSOs imply that their star formation episodes could be sustained for ∼10 Myr, and are consistent with representing a phase in the formation of massive galaxies which overlaps a preceding SMG starburst phase, before subsequently evolving into a population of present-day massive ellipticals
Ivan Mažuranić and his Contribution to Croatian Literature: For the 170th Anniversary of the Epic Poem The Death of Smail-Age Čengić
Autor daje osvrt na pjesnički rad Ivana Mažuranića (1814. – 1890.) istaknutog htvatskog književnika i političara rođenog u Novom Vinodolskom i poznatog kao ban-pučanin zbog svojeg neplemićkog porijekla. Članak je nastao u povodu nekoliko nedavnih obljetnica vezanih uz njegov život, 125 godina od njegove smrti (1890.) te 170 godina od nastanka njegovog najznačajnijeg knjiženog djela, epa „Smrt Smail-age Čengića“ (1845.). Bio je izuzetna osoba u kojoj se sjedinilo domoljblje, talent pjesnika i politička mudrost. Uspješno je nadopunio završne dijelove Gundulićeva djela „Osman“ i pritom oživio autentičan Gundulićev pjesnički stil. Pjesništvom se intenzivno bavio tijekom jednog desetljeća, od 1835. do 1845. kada nastaje ep „Smrt Smail-age Čengića“. Pisao je o ljudskom nasilju i oholosti, a u književnom i političkom djelovanju nadahnula ga je borba Iliraca za uvođenje hrvatskog kao službenog jezika u Hrvatskom saboru 1847. godine.The author presents an overview of the work of Ivan Mažuranić (1814-1890) the prominent Croatian writer and politician born in Novi Vinodolski and famous as ban-commoner due to his non-aristocratic origin. The article was written upon the occasion of the recent anniversaries connected to his life, 125 years since his death (1890) and 170 years from the creation of his most important literally work, the epic poem ‘The Death of Smail-Age Čengić’ (1845).He was an exceptional person in whom patriotism, a talented poet and political wisdom were all combined. He successfully completed the final parts of Gundulić’s work ‘Osman’ and in doing so revived Gundulić’s authentic poetic style. He dealt intensively with poetry for a decade, from 1835 to 1845 when the epic poem ‘The Death of Smail-Age Čengić’ was created. He wrote about human violence and arrogance, and in literally and political activities the fight of the Illyrians for the introduction of Croatian to be the official language in the Croatian parliament in 1847 inspired him

Diversity of arthropods subservient to olive groves in arid region (Northeastern Algeria)
Olea europaea L. 1753, is one of the oldest and most distinctive trees in the Mediterranean region. Its nutritional, social, cultural, and economic value is very important for populations in arid regions, where it is widely distributed. A sign of a sustainable environment in many agricultural regions is the existence of a wide variety and abundance of arthropod groups. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the diversity of arthropods subservientin in olive agro-systems in the arid region by using several sampling techniques, namely classic sight hunting, visual inspection, Barber pots, and yellow traps. The inventory is carried out over a period of 5 months, from February to June 2023, in three stations in M’Sila (northeastern Algeria). Three classes of arthropods were found: Insecta, Arachnida, and Malacostraca. Captures were numerically dominated by Insecta, representing 96.88% of total captures. Arachnida and Malacostraca classes represented about 2.74 and 0.38%, respectively. During this research, a total of 1861 arthropod individuals were collected and identified into 83 species, 79 genera, 53 families, and 15 orders. The most abundant orders were: Diptera (42.56%), Hymenoptera (28.11%), and Coleoptera (7.32%). However, we found a significant difference in species composition according to habitat (P < 0.01). The species were determined, and the ecological indices were calculated (Shannon Value, Evenness values and Simpson reciprocal index). The dominant functional feeding groups were phytophages (41.91 %), predators (32.94%), and polyphages (22.14%). The arthropods included several olive pests such as Euphyllura olivina (Costa) (Hemiptera: Liviidae), Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), Prays oleae (Bernard) (Lepidoptera: Praydidae), Liothrips oleae Costa (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae), and Oxycenus maxwelli (Keifer) (Arachnida: Eriophyidae).

Strategies of Enunciative Erasure and Position Taken by the Author-Researcher Case of Doctoral Student Articles
The main purpose of this article is to examine the construction of authorship in scientific articles written by Algerian doctoral students. We focused on the personal subject pronouns (nous and on) as the main mark of the expression of subjectivity, trying to see how the identity of the author is constituted in the texts of these young researchers. The observations indicates tyhat,dispite the requirement of objectvity that caracterireres the discursive genre in research,the writings of doctotoral studients continue to include markers of the first person. This usage diffes from that found in common dicoure, suggesting a particular construction of authorial identityLe propos principal de ce présent article est d’examiner la construction de l’identité d’auteur dans les articles scientifiques écrits par des doctorants algériens.Nous nous sommes concentrées sur les pronoms personnels sujets (nous et on) comme la principale marque de l’expression de la subjectivité, en essayant de voir comment se constitue l’identité de l’auteur dans les textes de ces jeunes chercheurs. Les observations indiquent que, malgré l’exigence de l’objectivité qui caractérise le genre discursif en recherche, les écrits des doctorants continuent s’inclurent des marques de la première personne. Cet emploi se différencie de celui que l’on trouve dans le discours commun,ce qui indique une construction particulière de l’identité auctorial
Beetles’ distribution and diversity along an altitudinal gradient across seasons in northeastern Algerian woodlands (case study: the Belezma National Park)
ABSTRACT: The study investigates how elevation gradients in mountainous forests affect biodiversity, particularly focusing on Coleopteran species in Belezma National Park, northeastern Algeria. Sampling was conducted across three woodland patterns with varying elevations (from 1085 m to 1472 m), slopes, and northern exposure, using three methods (sight hunting, barber pots, and yellow pan traps) over a year (from May 2017 to April 2018). Soil and abiotic factors were assessed at each site, noting significant variations with altitude. Ninety-five beetle species were identified, with Carabidae exhibiting the highest representation (35 taxa; 1312 individuals). The altitudinal gradient influenced beetle diversity and abundance, with the Cedar2 site showing the highest diversity. Both Hierarchical clustering analysis and nonmetric multidimensional scaling revealed three distinct cluster groups serving as altitude indicators. Detrended correspondence analysis highlighted the influence of precipitation, altitude, and soil characteristics on beetles’ distribution. In the Venn diagram, seasonal variations were observed, with summer exhibiting the highest diversity and winter the lowest. These findings provide valuable insights into beetle diversity along elevation gradients and across seasons, serving as a reference for future research in similar ecosystems
