In this study, I aim to explore the role of old women in the life of the Christian Orthodox Church in the Romanian space. The analysis is based on empirical evidence (qualitative fieldwork and case studies) gathered between 2017 and 2019, and it mainly employs the framework of theory of tradition, and theories of attachment and of parent–infant relationship. I will show that old women going to church have a double role: To educate the community in keeping the religious tradition, and to initiate other members, especially the very young ones (blood-related or not), in the Romanian Orthodox faith. The paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages offered by both aforementioned roles, putting forth possible explanations for the tensions arising between generations. I conclude by underlining the crucial role that old women have in today’s struggle for survival of the Romanian Orthodox Church and in its spiritual identity.

ABSTRACTA range of mineral content values and organization of the collagen and mineral phases are possible contributors to the significant variance demonstrated within the nanomechanical behavior of mineralized tissues. A combined approach using nanoindentation, to assess nanomechanical behavior, and X-ray diffraction, for analysis of crystallinity and composition, were used to investigate a range of modern and fossilized bone samples. This work provides new insight into the functional role of organization and composition of the mineral phase within heterogeneous, mineralized materials of biological origin. While the predominant influence on nanomechanical behavior is made by mineral volume fraction, the crystallinity was shown to play a significant role in the nanomechanical behavior of modern and fossilized bone samples. The interplay between material structure and function will ultimately help to elucidate the relative contributions of various factors to nanomechanical behavior and lead to improved development of biomimetic materials.

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. While clinical trials of cell therapy have demonstrated largely neutral results, recent investigations into the mechanisms of natural myocardial regeneration have demonstrated promising new intersections between molecular, cellular, tissue, biomaterial, and biomechanical engineering solutions. New insight into the crucial role of inflammation in natural regenerative processes may explain why previous efforts have yielded only modest degrees of regeneration. Furthermore, the new understanding of the interdependent relationship of inflammation and myocardial regeneration have catalyzed the emergence of promising new areas of investigation at the intersection of many fields.
