Authors: Giordano Kevin A. , Cich Molly , Oliver Gretchen D.
Published: October 2023

Giordano, KA, Cassidy, MM, and Oliver, GD. Length-tension differences between concentric and eccentric shoulder rotation strength. J Strength Cond Res 38(2): 253–258, 2024—Eccentric contractions generally produce more force than concentric contractions. However, if length-tension relationships affect both contractions equally remains unknown. Therefore, our purpose was to compare concentric versus eccentric shoulder external and internal rotation strength across a continuous 90° arc. Fifty-two physically active individuals performed isokinetic concentric and eccentric shoulder external rotation and internal rotation through a 90° arc (forearm horizontal to forearm vertical) with the shoulder elevated in both the frontal and scapular planes. Statistical parametric mapping analysis compared concentric and eccentric trials within subjects. Frontal plane eccentric external rotation torque was greater than concentric 30°–90° (p < 0.01) external rotation, and concentric external rotation torque was greater 5°–15° external rotation (p = 0.01). Frontal plane, eccentric internal rotation torque was greater than concentric 15°–55° external rotation (p < 0.01), and concentric torque was greater at forearm horizontal (p = 0.05) and 70°–90° external rotation (p < 0.01). Scapular plane eccentric external rotation torque was greater than concentric 30°–90° external rotation (p < 0.01) and concentric external rotation torque was greater 5°–20° external rotation (p < 0.01). Scapular plane eccentric internal rotation torque was greater than concentric 15°–60° external rotation (p < 0.01), and concentric torque was greater at forearm horizontal (p = 0.05) and 78°–90° external rotation (p = 0.02). Coaches, clinicians, and researchers should interpret data from studies reporting isokinetic data with the understanding that isokinetic peak strength values are not comparing the same muscle length and are not an appropriate measure for all muscle lengths. Furthermore, shoulder stability is affected through decreased eccentric force production at end ranges of shoulder rotation.

Uncertainty and Managing Randomness: The First Documented Cholera Epidemic in Bombay City and Presidency, 1818-1821
Authors: Neelakantan Vivek
Published: October 2023

Between 1817 and 1821, the Indian subcontinent was devastated by a series of cholera outbreaks that have subsequently been referred to as the beginning of the First Cholera Pandemic. Although the history of the First Cholera Pandemic has received some scholarly attention, historians tend to overlook the local features of the pandemic in favor of the broader colonial context. In this article, the author contends that the official response to the epidemic in Bombay city and presidency (1818-1821) was initially ameliorative, including recruiting native medical assistants to administer treatment. Such a measure was calculated to cultivate a benevolent image of the colonial government among local inhabitants. Despite considerable nosological and etiological disagreements, members of the Bombay Medical Board characterized cholera as a social disease. Unlike cholera epidemics in the latter half of the nineteenth century, the first cholera epidemic in the Bombay presidency did little to exacerbate antagonism towards the colonial government for two reasons. First, the British power in India was still at its formative stage. Second, both in India and England, cholera was associated with the derangement of bodily humors. On the contrary, the epidemic provided a stimulus to intracommunal discord. Antara tahun 1817 dan 1821, anak benua India dilanda serangkaian wabah kolera yang kemudian disebut sebagai awal dari Pandemi Kolera Pertama. Meskipun sejarah Pandemi Kolera Pertama telah mendapat perhatian ilmiah, para sejarawan cenderung mengabaikan ciri-ciri lokal dari pandemi ini dan lebih memilih konteks kolonial yang lebih luas. Dalam artikel ini, penulis berpendapat bahwa tanggapan resmi terhadap epidemi di kota dan wilayah kepresidenan Bombay (1818-1821) pada awalnya bersifat perbaikan, termasuk merekrut asisten medis pribumi untuk memberikan pengobatan. Tindakan seperti itu diperhitungkan untuk menumbuhkan citra baik pemerintah kolonial di kalangan penduduk setempat. Meskipun ada perbedaan pendapat nosologis dan etiologis, anggota Dewan Medis Bombay menggolongkan kolera sebagai penyakit sosial. Berbeda dengan epidemi kolera pada paruh kedua abad ke-19, epidemi kolera yang pertama pada masa kepresidenan Bombay tidak banyak memperburuk antagonisme terhadap pemerintah kolonial karena dua alasan. Pertama, kekuatan Inggris di India masih dalam tahap pembentukan. Kedua, baik di India maupun Inggris, kolera dikaitkan dengan gangguan humor tubuh. Sebaliknya, epidemi ini memberikan stimulus terhadap perselisihan antar masyarakat.

Published: October 2023

La calidad de los datos geográficos es un factor importante para obtener una mejor tasa de éxito en la planificación espacial marina (PEM). Si bien las instituciones que los generan deben cumplir con estándares de calidad, es real que esto no se cumple a cabalidad, lo cual conlleva limitar su uso y compromete la idoneidad de las decisiones sobre el espacio marino. En este estudio, evaluamos la calidad de una base informativa con 39 datos geográficos multiescalares utilizados en una PEM desarrollada en el 2022, para un área del territorio marino-costero en el Pacífico colombiano. Se implementó un enfoque basado en criterios cuantitativos y cualitativos, con el fin de determinar la calidad de los datos geográficos bajo la orientación MSPglobal. Los resultados mostraron que el 94% de los datos geográficos evaluados presentaron una calidad fiable; de ellos, el 41% no reportó metadatos y el 38% no posee año de elaboración, lo que pone en entredicho el cumplimiento de las normativas regionales para generar información geográfica de calidad. Asimismo, se evidenció que la mayor parte de lo analizado proviene de instituciones nacionales públicas responsables de cumplir con los lineamientos técnicos, con el objetivo de garantizar la calidad de los datos geográficos para diferentes propósitos. Esta investigación plantea un antecedente práctico que busca implementar criterios de calidad de datos geográficos, en ejercicios de PEM enfocados en datos temáticos multiescalares disponibles, para ser incorporados en iniciativas MSPglobal en el nivel regional.

Published: October 2023

The goal is to analyze and define the functions of a physical therapist in an interdisciplinary team in the process of physical therapy of a patient diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. Research methods. Analysis of literary sources from the scientometric databases of Physiopedia, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PEDro, MEDLINE / PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, systematic analysis, synthesis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature. Results. In light of the superiority of studies reporting the progression of surgery, physical therapists should carefully measure and evaluate the results of physical therapy to participate in the discussion of the individual management of the patient with SCI in a multi- or interdisciplinary team with the participation of surgeons and neurologists. For the conservative treatment of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, the most evidence-based interventions are patient instructions and a night orthosis. The decision to rehabilitate a patient with SCC after surgery should be based on the experience of specialists, the patient's preferences, and the context of the rehabilitation environment. Therapeutic exercises targeting muscle tendons (stretching) and neurodynamic exercises are the most reasonable for post-surgical physical therapy. Conclusions. The physical therapist has a significant influence on the decision of the multidisciplinary team regarding the choice of physical therapy technology or referral to surgical treatment, based on evidence-based methods of diagnosis, rehabilitation interventions and evaluation of their effectiveness. Also problematic is the issue of physical therapy for postoperative patients, which currently depends to a greater extent on the experience and cooperation of specialists.

Published: October 2023

This article deals with East Greek and Corinthian painted wares found during the excavations of the so-called suburb of Olbia. The analysis of the imported painted and plain tableware and special vessels allows us to conclude that the formation of this ceramic complex began in the last quarter of the 6th century BC. Based on this, it is assumed that the development of the territory to the of west of Zaiacha Ravine began during this time. The construction of a defensive system with moat and rampart led to the allocation of a new zone of Olbia city due to the growth of the urban population.

Legislation on life imprisonment without parole and its justification: Based on recent developments in life imprisonment in the U.S.
Authors:   The Institute of Legal Studies, Kyunghee University, Choi Dae-Ho
Published: October 2023

In recent years, there has been an increase in citizens’ anxiety about violent crimes due to ‘abnormal motives’ resulting in murders and indiscriminate violent crimes. As one of the measures, the government (Ministry of Justice) is seeking to establish a so-called “Life imprisonment without parole”.
However, there has not been sufficient discussion and social consensus on issues such as whether the system contributes to reducing the rate of violent crime over the introduction of life imprisonment without parole, whether it may violate the Constitution, which values human dignity as the highest value, by fundamentally blocking prisoners’ rehabilitation, improvement, and rehabilitation into society, and whether it increases medical and administrative costs due to overcrowding in prisons and the increase in the number of elderly prisoners.
In this paper, while keeping in mind the relationship between life imprisonment and the death penalty, we provide an overview of the legislation and application of life imprisonment in the United States, and examine the problems of life imprisonment based on the results of recent important research on life imprisonment. Based on these findings, we examined the legitimacy of the “life sentence without parole” that the Ministry of Justice is currently seeking to introduce.
Many states in the United States either introduce life imprisonment without parole after abolishing the death penalty, or still retain the death penalty after introducing life imprisonment without parole. Life imprisonment is also applied to non-murder offenses. However, recent legislation and precedent recognize life imprisonment without parole as a cruel punishment with the same characteristics as the death penalty. In other words, life imprisonment without parole places all the blame on criminals, deprives them of hope of rehabilitation and seriously undermines their dignity and humanity as human beings.
In conclusion, when examining penal reforms, including the abolition of the death penalty, countries with the rule of law should always take humanitarian and human rights considerations as the criteria for the purpose of modern punishment: rehabilitation into society. However, life imprisonment without parole cannot contribute to the realization of the purpose of modern punishment, which is to humanize, rehabilitate, rehabilitate, and resocialize punishment. Therefore, the introduction of life imprisonment without parole as an alternative and sub-sentence to the death penalty should be avoided.
A New Understanding of Corporation Punishment and Joint Penalty Provisions for Status Offenders under the Occupational Safety and Health Act
Authors:   The Institute of Legal Studies, Kyunghee University, Kang Byeong Yeon
Published: October 2023

In the case of a status offender with a status including a corporation, such as a “business owner” in the Occupational Safety and Health Act, there are many negatives on whether a natural person who is an employee of a corporation without a status can become a criminal subject under Joint Penalty Provisions. In addition, the negative theory states that natural people are not the subject of crime, so even corporations cannot be punished even if they are subject to Joint Penalty Provisions. On the other hand, the Supreme Court and some theories say that corporations can naturally be punished by the Joint Penalty Provisions, and that natural people can also be punished by viewing the phrase “in addition to punishing actors” in Joint Penalty Provisions. The Supreme Court's view conflicts with other precedents of the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court on literary interpretation and is unconstitutional in violation of the principle of legality, while the majority theory raises concerns that both natural and legal persons cannot be punished.
Considering the constitutional Principle of Legality, the explicit provisions of the law should be more important. Unless there is a separate provision that excludes a corporation from a criminal subject, it can be constitutionally and reasonably resolved by interpreting the law as it is and directly recognizing the criminal capacity of the corporation as it is in the Penalty Clause. The logical premise is that the starting line for discussing this issue already stipulates that “a corporation is defined as a criminal subject in the Penalty Clause” In addition, if the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court's precedents say that a natural person should recognize the independent responsibility of a corporation based on Joint Penalty Provisions, it is not necessary to assert that laws or legal provisions other than Joint Penalty Provisions cannot be the basis for a corporation to become a criminal subject. This argument is new, but it can be seen as an argument to apply it to the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which has explicit regulations, because there is already a claim to recognize the criminal capacity of a corporation for administrative offenders.

The main ingredients of soft candies are gelatin made from the skin/bones of cows and pigs, i.e. bovine and porcine gelatin. This research aims to analyze the present bovine and porcine gelatin in soft candy using a fast and low-cost method. The method used is a combination of FTIR and chemometrics. The reference candy samples were made with formulation porcine gelatin concentrations of 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 and 100%. As a control, we used a bovine gelatin reference candy. All the candy samples were measured with FTIR in the reflection mode in the wavenumber range from 4000 to 500 cm-1. Data analysis was carried out using the chemometric method with the Minitab 18 application. PLS calibration results in y = 0, 99999x + 0.000396 indicate a good correlation. The value of R2 = 0.99999 and the RMSEC of 0.03%. Internal validation with R2 = 0.9999 and RMSECV = 3.69% and external validation with R2 = 0.9994 with RMSEP = 1.28%. The PCA results show different quadrant classifications of bovine and porcine gelatin. Also, there are similarities between the market candy quadrant, bovine gelatin, and porcine gelatin. The fast method and low cost involved simple sample preparation, which were developed to detect and classify the presence of bovine and porcine gelatin in soft candy using FTIR and chemometrics.

Purpose of this work was to determine the characteristics of coatings formed on magnesium alloys during the process of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in an electrolyte with minimal content of basic solution components. Additionally, the study aims to identify research directions that can ensure controlled solubility of magnesium alloys with MAO coatings in a corrosive and active environment.

Research methods. The study was performed on samples of MЛ5 alloy. The MAO was conducted using an alternating current of 380 V and 50 Hz, along with a battery of capacitors with adjustable capacity. The electrolyte used was a combination of potassium hydroxide and sodium liquid glass. Corrosion tests of the treated samples were conducted in a 3 % aqueous NaCl solution. The surface of the samples after MAO was examined using optical and scanning electron microscopy.

Results. The results of research in the field of MAO of magnesium alloys are considered. It is shown that the use of MAO coatings is one of the promising directions for developing methods to control the dissolution rate of magnesium alloy products. The concentration of reagents in the electrolyte and the processing time were minimized. It was found that it is advisable to complete the treatment before the phase of intense sparking. The initiation of the sparking process leads to the damage of the barrier layer by microarc discharges, which reduces the corrosion resistance of the coating.

Scientific novelty. It was found that the degree of corrosion damage was minimal for the sample treated for 30 s. The obtained result can be explained by the termination of the MАO process at the moment when a dense coating has already formed at the first stage of the process, but the second stage with the formation of micro-arc discharges, which damage the already formed oxide layer, has not yet begun.

Practical value. The results of the study will serve as a basis for further work aimed at creating magnesium alloy products with a controlled dissolution time in a corrosive environment. This is especially relevant for medical products, namely metal fixators for osteosynthesis with a controlled rate of biological resorption.
PHYSICAL-MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND THERMAL STRESS OF PLASMA COVERING
Authors: Greshta V. , Yershov A. , Hrabovskyi V. , Vinichenko V. , Seidametov S.
Published: October 2023

Purpose. It is based on the method of determining the physical and mechanical characteristics and cohesive strength of the plasma coating.

Research methods. Experimental research methods of plasma coating specimens and mathematical methods of the theory of strength of materials. Received results. The study of the mechanical properties of the ПРНХ15СР2 plasma coating during the bending test was carried out. Values of forces and moments of elastic forces during bending depending on the deformation of the plasma coating sample was determined. The dependence of the destructive stress on the relative deformation of the coating was calculated. The modulus of elasticity and strength for the outer and inner surfaces of the coating are determined.

Scientific novelty. It is shown that when determining the mechanical characteristics of the coating bonded to the base, a systematic error occurs due to the uncertainty of the internal stress in the coating. Therefore, for measurement, it is proposed to use samples peeled from the base, which are practically devoid of internal stress. For the inner surface of the coating, the modulus of elasticity and the destructive stress are rather higher than for the outer surface. The detected difference is associated with the presence of a temperature gradient during coating application and the distribution of residual stresses over the thickness of the coating. The gradient of residual thermal stresses and the maximum permissible temperature in the process of the coating deposition are determined.

Practical value. The obtained results are of practical value for determining the conditions of guaranteed preservation of the integrity of the coating in the presence of residual stresses and calculating its maximum thickness on the base surface. It is shown that when the power of the plasmatron is reduced, the thermal stress gradient and the maximum stress on the coating surface decrease. Therefore, it is recommended to use a wire instead of a powder plasmatron, which twice reduces thermal stresses by half.
THE INFLUENCE ELECTROSLAG HARD-FACING ON THE CHEMICAL COMPOUND OF NONMETALLIC INCLUSIONS AND FUSION ZONE
Authors: Parahnevich Е.
Published: October 2023

Purpose. As a result of the study, it is necessary to determine the factors that influence the chemical composition of the fusion zone and non-metallic inclusions during electroslag surfacing, which is used in the restoration of railway transport parts, namely electric locomotives of the ЧС-4, ЧС-6, ЧС-8, etc. brands.

Research methods. The chemical composition of non-metallic inclusions was studied using the CAMECA X-ray spectroscopic microanalysis unit and the "SUPRA 40 WDS" scanning electron microscope manufactured by Carl Zeiss (Germany). The measurement error is no more than 1 %. The nature of non-metallic inclusions (microstructure, morphology and topography) was studied by the petrographic method using a complex methodology. Samples for research were cut from the metal of the experimental deposits in such a way that the fusion zone was located in the middle of the sample. Chemical etching of the metal with a 4% solution of sulfuric acid was carried out to identify the fusion zone.

Results. As a result of the study of the chemical and mineralogical nature of non-metallic inclusions, it is shown that in the base metal (Ст.3 steel) when approaching the fusion zone, the number and size of non-metallic inclusions decrease, as well as their shape, microstructure and composition change. There are practically no non-metallic inclusions in the heating zone (immediately near the fusion zone).

Scientific novelty. It is shown that the content of elements from the base metal to the deposited metal practically does not change, with the exception of chromium, the content of which gradually increases from Ст.3 steel to 12X13 steel in the fusion zone.

Practical value. The results of the work make it possible to explain the effect of electroslag restoration of electric locomotive parts on the quality of the fusion zone and to explain the mechanism of structure defects and possible types of non-metallic inclusions as a result of surfacing.
Necessidade de serviços de apoio psicológico em instituições de ensino: caso de escolas e universidades moçambicanas
Authors: Sunde Rosário Martinho
Published: October 2023

Os serviços de apoio psicológico assessoram as escolas/universidades no enfrentamento dos problemas comportamentais, de orientação escolar e profissional dos alunos/estudantes, ajudando-os a desenvolverem habilidades sociais, emocionais, mentais e cognitivas na academia. A pesquisa visa avaliar o nível de intervenção psicológica das instituições de ensino face aos problemas psicológicos dos alunos e outros utentes. É um estudo qualitativo com enfoque fenomenológico com o recurso da entrevista semi-estruturada, aplicada a 40 sujeitos destes, seis professores universitários, seis professores do ensino secundário, seis do ensino primário, seis estudantes universitários, seis alunos do ensino secundário e dez encarregados de educação, todos residentes na cidade de Nampula-Moçambique e maiores de 18 anos. A análise e o processamento das entrevistas foram feitos a partir do método de codificação de Saldaña (2013). Com o estudo percebemos que muitas instituições de ensino não possuem serviços de apoio psicológico aos alunos e outros intervenientes escolares. É oportuno que as instituições escolares em coordenação com as entidades governamentais proporcionem espaços de busca de apoio psicológico dentro da academia. A partir desta constatação, urge a necessidade de elaboração de projetos e programas que assegurem ações preventivas, incorporando no ambiente escolar psicólogos e profissionais afins para zelar pela saúde escolar e da comunidade.

Suporte social está relacionado ao auxílio que uma pessoa recebe de sua rede social, incluindo familiares, amigos, colegas de trabalho ou membros da comunidade. Podendo envolver apoio emocional, prático ou informativo, como aconselhamento, encorajamento, orientação, companhia ou até mesmo ajuda financeira, ocasionado benefícios à saúde mental e física, manejo do estresse, superação de obstáculos e proporcionando sentimentos que podem ser considerados positivos. Este estudo objetiva avaliar o nível de percepção de suporte social e levantar o perfil de indivíduos que buscam atendimento psicológico em um Serviço-Escola de Psicologia no interior do Estado do Maranhão. A pesquisa tem caráter transversal, quantitativo descritivo e exploratório. Aplicou-se uma entrevista semiestruturada contendo itens referentes a dados sociodemográficos e perguntas referentes à demanda e o EPSUS-A (Escala de Percepção do Suporte Social – versão adulta) para avaliação do nível de percepção de suporte social dos participantes. Observou-se que grande parte dos participantes têm baixa percepção de suporte social em todas as quatro dimensões do EPSUS-A. Também foi possível constatar que variáveis como faixa etária (RP: 5,61; IC95%: 1,01-31,2), profissão (RP: 8,49; IC95%: 2,72 – 26,5) e religião (RP:2,95; IC95%:1,06-8,21) obtiveram associação estatística com o nível de suporte social percebido. A partir da pesquisa foi possível compreender a percepção acerca da rede de suporte social de indivíduos com demandas de sofrimento psíquico e vislumbrar possibilidades interventivas que favoreçam o fortalecimento e a percepção individuais em relação a essa rede, favorecendo a aproximação entre o sujeito em sofrimento e o cuidado a este disponibilizado
AMERICAN CONSERVATIVES AND IMMIGRATION POLICY DURING GEORGE W. BUSH PRESIDENCY
Authors:   Udmurt State University, Zolotykh V. R.
Published: October 2023

Immigration reform in the United States is one of the hottest topics in politics, causing a split in American society. Numerous attempts by presidents and Congress to reform this sphere ended either in failure or in half-hearted measures that dissatisfied both supporters of immigration and its opponents. The article examines the role of American conservatives in blocking the liberal immigration reform of the George W. Bush administration in 2006–2008. I a very short period, representatives of various currents of the U.S. conservative movement were able to consolidate their positions on the basis of an anti-immigrant platform and use new tools of influence, both in relation to congressmen and in the formation of public opinion. The article analyzes the role of social networks and a new phenomenon in the conservative movement (the name was originally proposed by The New York Times) such as a “New Internet-linked national constituency”, which managed to very quickly and effectively close ranks among the opponents of the president’s “grand bargain” and destroy the unity of the pro-immigrant-minded elite. The article evaluates the actions of George W. Bush to initiate the immigration reform and explores the nature of the conflict between conservatives and the president. Analysis of various aspects of the political conflict that arose in 2006–2008 between the restrictionists and the president helps in better understanding of the situation within the conservative movement and the prospects for its development.

Çelik tel halatlarda hasar modellemesi çeşitli sayısal yöntemler kullanılarak literatürde geniş çapta incelenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, yapının karmaşıklığından dolayı dinamik yükleme ile ilgili nispeten az sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, bir tel halat kesitindeki çatlak ilerlemesini modellemek için Peridinamik (PD) teorisi kullanılmıştır. Enine darbe yüküne maruz kalan tel halat Peridinamik teorisi ile modellenmiştir. Önceden tanımlanmış iki çatlak çizgisi tel kesiti içine yerleştirilmiştir. Kırık ilerleme hızı ve dalga yayılımı, parametrelerin etkisini değerlendirmek için kullanılmıştır. En önemli sonuçlardan biri ufuk yarıçapının aynı aile üyesi sayısı kullanılarak azaltıldığında kırık ilerleme hızında azalış meydana gelmesidir. Bir diğer sonuç darbe yükününün yapıya etkidiği temas yüzeyinin küçülmesi ile yüzeydeki hasarın artmasıdır. Bunlarla beraber, dalga yayılımının çatlak başlangıcı ve gelişimi üzerindeki etkisinin Peridinamik yöntemi ile modellenebileceği gösterilmiştir.
Argument and Dialectical Structure in Physics VIII 1
Authors: Wians William
Published: October 2023

Physics VIII 1 presents a multi-stage argument concluding that there was not, nor ever will be, a time when there was not nor will not be motion (Phys. VIII 1.252b5-6). In this paper I shall argue that chapter’s argument is dialectical in a precise way. My claim will be that Physics VIII 1 is apodeictically conditioned – its structure must be understood in terms of the theory of science in the Posterior Analytics and the methods for establishing principles in the Topics. Physics VIII 1 is not demonstrative in a straightforward deductive way, but is structured with the nature of a scientific genos and requirements for scientific knowledge always in mind. Aristotle begins by asking about the eternality of motion, posing a pair of conceptual opposites that form a mutually exclusive and logically exhaustive dichotomy. But the initial statement of the dichotomy turns out to require substantial unpacking, leading eventually to a single remaining option, that motion in the cosmos is eternal. But the status of this conclusion itself turns out to be problematic. Put in terms of Aristotle’s theory of science, all phusiologoi made motion a posit or hypothesis, whether they regarded motion as eternal or not.
Though Aristotle has rejected one option, at a deeper level, he finds all previous accounts lacking. Because motion is fundamental to all coming-to-beand-passing-away, what is at stake is the status and adequacy of a principle governing the whole science of nature (tên theôrian pasan; 250b17). In this way, the chapter prepares for the subsequent investigation into the principles of cosmic motion.

This paper focuses on Renaissance and early modern readings of Aristotle’s
Meteorologica I 7.344a5-8, showing how the various interpretations of this
passage were foundational for the establishment of an epistemology based
on hypotheses and conjectures, and how this passage informed major philosophical
and scientific elaborations of the time, extending its influence
beyond the original field of application. The paper considers authors such
as Alexander of Aphrodisias, Philoponus, Nifo, Pomponazzi, Wurstisen,
Descartes, Galileo, Charleton and Boyle.
Hegelian geographical determinism
Authors: Tyugashev Evgeny A.
Published: October 2023

G.W.F. Hegels philosophy of history has a pronounced geographical profile. The hegelian geographical determinism develops the spontaneous materialism of J.G. Herders philosophy of history and emphasizes the role of the element of the sea as a factor of the universality of history. In accordance with the three main geographical moments of world history plateaus, river plains and sea coasts G.W.F. Hegel identifies and characterizes three types of social life based on cattle breeding, agriculture (with industry), merchant shipping. The methodological strategy of geographical determinism is relevant for socio-cultural studies of anthroposociogenesis and the logic of national cultures.
