Though the title of the work "The Religious Art in the Interwar Period", raises a series of very complex problems, the work as such will try to sketch an articulate, coherent picture of the main line on which the artistic, religious manifestation is carved out in the Romanian space in the interwar period and will analyze the manner in which "the thinmost" painters are advancing towards the modern painting and the modern painters are focusing on the
Read moreAmong the most interesting objects of worship or artistic of the Romanian Principalities, as form of spirituality, there are the icons; they either creates ensembles like catapetasma (veil), or were simply placed here and there for worshiping. The version in which the icon shows itself on the ensemble under the catapetasma form, can be found in Moldavia and Romanian Principality even beginning with 16th century, and in Transylvania is preserved from
Read moreThe subject of the votive picture embellishes at first the western wall of the nave, which then sets apart in important place in the narthex. Even the name of it, votive picture, lead us to think of the message it transmits, i.e. a picture of consecration, of offering the worship place to the Heavenly Protector. The significance of the displaying of the votive picture comes form the fact that is, besides representing a first-hand document for setting
Read moreFor the first time, the present study treats the iconostasis of the Saint Catherine Church of Bucharest from the restorers' point of view and not only of the Art Historian, and comes to enrich the technical knowledge which the scientific research gathered concerning the religious-artistic manifestation in the 19th century.
Read moreLeptin controls metabolism, energy balance and can also intensify inflammation by inducing mononuclear cell activation and proliferation. It realizes this last effect by stimulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukine-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor α(TNF-α), interleukine-8 (IL-8). The objective of the present study was to investigate the serum levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-αand leptin in chronic renal failure patients
Read moreThis work proposes to evaluate oxidative stress on a batch of patients with Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) and compare its parameters against a control batch composed of mentally healthy subjects. This research study involves patients diagnosed with AD from the Clinical Hospital for Neurology and Psychiatry of Oradea and from nursing homes for the elderly, whose levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), carbonylated proteins (CP) and ceruloplasmin (CER) have
Read moreIn this letter we investigate possible relationships between the cloud cover (CC) and the interplanetary electric field (IEF), which is modulated by the solar wind and the interplanetary magnetic field. We show that CC at mid–high latitudes systematically correlates with positive IEF, which has a clear energetic input into the atmosphere, but not with negative IEF, in general agreement with predictions of the global electric circuit (GEC)-related
Read moreThe Kramers-Kronig transforms (KK) constitute a powerful tool to validate experimental data. The present study is implemented for Bi2O3 thin films deposited by thermal vacuum evaporation at different temperatures of the glass substrates. Since the extraordinary properties of this fabric allow us to consider particular analytical approach as it was previously shown, the reflectance properties of Bi2O3 as a function of temperature could be studied.
Read moreThe optical reflectance of Bi2O3 was measured, and the optical properties were estimated by Kramers–Kronig analysis. The novelty of the present study is due to the implementation of a MAPLE software approach to the complex computations implied by this extrapolation. The analytical fit of the reflectance spectrum is applied, accompanied by a careful extrapolation, which is necessary within the Kramers–Kronig method. In this way starting from the
