A New Early Ripening Table Grape Cultivar Obtained in Pietroasa Research Station: Vitis vinifera L. cv. Mihaela
No full textAbstractThe evolution of the internal Romanian market for table grapes in recent years suggests that there are occasional problems with the supply, sometimes requiring imports, as well as a need for early maturing varieties, which can bring important benefits for both producers and consumers. This paper presents some data regarding a promising new variety of table grapes, Mihaela, obtained at the Pietroasa Research Station located in Buzău county, Romania, by crossing of Vitis vinifera varieties Cardinal and Coarnă neagră, the last being the maternal ancestor. Presented data includes ampelographic features, agrobiological and technological traits for the new Mihaela cultivar, as well as for its parent varieties. The results recorded thus far present Mihaela as a valuable early ripening variety which could be a good addition to the table grapes assortment of many producers
Mihaela Koletnik, Slovenskogoriško narečje (Maribor 2001)
No full textThe article brings a presentation of a monograph Slovenskogoriško narečje (The Slovenske Gorice Dialect) by Mihaela Koletnik, a dialectologist from Maribor. This is the 12th publication from the Zora series issued by Slavistično društvo Maribor. The results of author š years-long research on the phonological, morphological and syntactic levels of the Pannonian Slovenske Gorice dialect are presented in this monograph. The author justifies the division of the dialect into two sub-dialects on the basis of the quantitative opposition between the permanently long vowels on the one hand, and the old and the new acute vowels on the other.V članku je predstavljena monografija mariborske dia-lektologinje Mihaele Koletnik Slovenskogoriško narečje, kije kot 12. knjiga iz zbirke Zora izšla pri Slavističnem društvu Maribor. V njej avtorica predstavlja rezultate svojega večletnega raziskovanja gla-soslovne, oblikoslovne in skladenjske ravnine panonskega slovensko-goriškega narečja ter utemeljuje njegovo delitev na dve podnarečji, na vzhodno in zahodno na podlagi kolikostnega nasprotja med stalno dolgimi ter staro- in novoakutiranimi samoglasniki

Representations and Consequences of Moral Evil in Cenușă rece by Mihaela Perciun
No full textThis article offers a literary analysis of the existential dilemmas and psychological traumas of the characters in Mihaela Perciun’s novel, Cenușă rece. The sources and the chain of causality that marked the destinies of the characters from the perspective of moral evil are particularly highlighted. We have shown that moral deviations and the constraint of freedom of conscience are what can create both social dissensions and identity fractures over time. By using black humor, the author illustrates an upside-down world, wicked and with values followed only on a declarative level, thus managing to offer us a full picture of this society. It also analyzes the drama of three generations of women and how the male character, Tudor Cocargea, marked their existence by one moral slip he committed. Thus, we found that the characters, although they are blood relatives, are devoid of affection and totally unknown to each other
Mihaela Ursa, Indisciplina ficțiunii: Viața de după carte a literaturii, Cluj-Napoca: Casa Cărții de Știință, 2022, 312 p.
No full textIn an increasingly apocalyptic climate in which the death of literature is loudly proclaimed, Mihaela Ursa refuses a nostalgic and melancholic reflection on the decline of the culture of the book. Instead, she chooses to investigate the ways in which the current media landscape has shaped the reception of fiction and how these mutations can be used in order to “revive” the classics and literature in general for a new generation of digital natives. Therefore, although this book is focused on canonical texts, the author does not intend to discuss their canonicity or their aesthetic value, but the way in which they are reappropriated through their transmedial circulation. The introductory chapter starts with the important assertion that literature is no longer the privileged road towards accessing narratives. However, instead of either mourning or praising the end of the literature-centric era, the author proposes a more useful activity: reflecting on how this change may impact our relationship with fiction. Since cultural and artistic revolutions do not manifest themselves as a destruction of previous practices in their field, the new technologies and media that are developing very rapidly do not signify the end of the book as a material support or the end of literacy as an ability, but instead their mutation and integration in a new network of narrative media. After all, as Mihaela Ursa argues, transmediality has been a trait of artistic productions since the very beginning, the rise of literature being the phenomenon actually responsible for narrowing the narrative space to its strictly written manifestation
Parkinson’s Disease-Cognitive Rating Scale for Evaluating Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson’s Disease: A Systematic Review
No full textThe aim of the present systematic review was to examine the evidence on the accuracy and psychometric properties of the Parkinson’s Disease-Cognitive Rating Scale (PD-CRS) for evaluating the presence of cognitive impairment in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) as well as to highlight the quality and quantity of research available on the use of the PD-CRS in this population. We searched four databases from inception until July 2020. Eight studies, published between 2008 and 2020, met the inclusion criteria: One cross-sectional study in which participants were assessed with the index test (PD-CRS) and a reference standard diagnostic assessment, in accordance with the Level II criteria of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS); one case-control study comparing the PD-CRS to an extensive battery of tests (i.e., MDS Level II diagnosis); and six studies comparing the PD-CRS to other short cognitive batteries. In patients with Parkinson’s disease, the PD-CRS test provides information about cortical and sub-cortical cognitive functions. Even if it demonstrated good psychometric properties, the results regarding the optimal threshold for detecting mild cognitive impairment and dementia in PD are somewhat inconsistent. Further cross-sectional studies are necessary to examine the optimum cut-off score for detecting cognitive dysfunction in PD patients

Border zone brain lesions due to neurotrichinosis
No full textTrichinosis is a parasitic disease that, due to variable clinical syndromes, is often underrecognized. We present the case of a patient with eosinophilia, focal neurological signs and multiple bilateral brain lesions, distributed mainly in the border zones. The diagnostic workup revealed neurotrichinosis, which should be suspected even without a clear history of consumption of poorly cooked meat
