Marx e la concezione del lavoro
Authors: Petrucciani Stefano
Published: April 2024

The article analyzes the centrality of the question of work in the thought of Karl Marx, focusing in particular on the role that work has in the Marxian conception of man and in the materialistic understanding of history.
Marx criticizes Adam Smith’s view according to which work is essentially a sacrifice. For Marx, work, which is constitutive and essential to human nature, can take very different forms: it can be alienated and exploited work as in capitalism, and therefore a work where the individual loses himself. But it could also be, in a different society, one of the most important ways of self-realization of the individual and extrication of his creativity.

Oltre all’utilitarismo. La critica di Keynes dell’uomo economico benthamiano
Authors: Carabelli Anna Maria
Published: April 2024

Keynes’s ethics is an ethics of virtues in the way ancient Greeks understood it. It emphasises the importance of friendship, moral emotions and pays precise attention to the contextual relativity of right action and conduct. A good life is a life worth being lived, that is a moral life: to be good is more important than to do good. Keynes accepts the Aristotelian notion of the good and happy life. Keynes’s notion of happiness also recalls Aristotle’s happiness (eudaimonia). In line with Aristotle, Keynes believes that a good life has necessary material and institutional conditions. A good life requires material prerequisites for human flourishing. For Keynes, the tasks of political economy as a moral science and of economic policy, are precisely to supply these material conditions for good and happy life: they are its necessary material preconditions. Employment is one of those.
Il lavoro in Lukács
Authors: Infranca Antonino
Published: April 2024

The essay deals with the category of work in Lukács. Lukács has been interested in work since his earliest works. The work where he directly addresses the problem of work is History and Class Consciousness. In this work he analyzes and describes the phenomenon of reification. Work is transformed into a thing and thus can be fragmented and manipulated to increase production. After reading Marx's economic-philosophical manuscripts, Lukács discovers the ontological character of the work. He defines an ontological conception of work, that expressed in the Ontology of Social Being. Work is the moment that distinguishes man from animal. Work is the model of every form of human practice, through the position of the purpose, the investigation of the natural means to achieve it and its realization.

Mesalazine, or 5-aminosalicylic acid, is an anti-inflammatory drug frequently used in patients suffering from chronic inflammatory bowel disease, and is generally well tolerated. Its most common side effects are mainly limited to gastrointestinal disorders, headaches, joint pain and skin rashes, and are generally modest and transient. Serious hematological toxicity is very rare (<1/10000), but cases of thrombocytopenia, aplastic anemia, pancytopenia and leukopenia/agranulocytosis have been reported. We report here the case of a patient with inflammatory phenotype colonic Crohn's disease on mesalazine 3g/day who presented with initial leukopenia aggravated by the development of pancytopenia
Cleft Constructions in Arabic and English: A Contrastive Study
Authors: Nassar Mahmoud , Shatnawi Mohammad , Bawareed Anas
Published: April 2024

This paper aims at investigating cleft constructions in both Arabic and English to see how elements and entities of a sentence are connected through many different focus devices. The results reveal that English, as well as Arabic, use different strategies to form focus constructions. In English, for instance, It-cleft and the Wh-cleft constructions are the most frequently used devices for highlighting a certain element. It has been claimed that the underlying structure of the Arabic nominative sentences is the VSO pattern from which fronting or topicalization is used as a process of highlighting a certain element in the sentence. It has been further claimed that focus constructions in Arabic can be achieved by further devices like the particle [Ɂinna] and the pronouns of separation. Keywords: It-cleft, Wh-cleft, focus, Arabic.

Objective: To review the pathological diagnosis of possible cases and/or hidden cases of malignant mesothelioma (MM) between 2000 and 2012 using the Hospital-Based Cancer Registry database in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: Possible cases were retrieved by assessing the database. Inclusion criteria were being older than 30 years of age and having ICD-O-3 topography and morphology codes related to MM. A board of expert pathologists reviewed the pathology reports and requested paraffin blocks in cases that demanded revision. After staining with calretinin, D2-40, WT-1 (as positive MM markers) and Ber-EP4 and MOC31 (as negative MM markers), cases were divided and studied independently by a pair of pathologists to confirm or discard the diagnosis of MM. Results: Our sample comprised 482 cases from 25 hospitals, and 130 needed further histological revision. We received 73 paraffin blocks with adequate material. After board analysis, there were 9 cases with a definitive diagnosis of MM, improving the diagnostic rate in 12%. Two cases of previously diagnosed MM were discarded by review. Conclusions: Our results confirm that part of MM underdiagnosis and underreporting in Brazil is due to incomplete or mistaken pathological diagnosis.

Differences in autonomic function between high and low cardiovascular disease risk patients.
Authors:   , O'Driscoll Jamie
Published: April 2024

Autonomic function is altered in many cardiovascular disease states and altered function is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Early research assessed the autonomic nervous system using invasive methodology. The sample sizes were small and the technique was impractical for routine clinical work. Advances in technology have facilitated the ability to non-invasively quantify autonomic function using heart rate variability (HRV) methodology. However these techniques have poor reproducibility and consequently, non-invasive assessment of autonomic function is rarely applied or utilised in a clinical setting. The aim of this thesis was to identify differences in autonomic function, measured non-invasively by HRV, in a large cohort of patients with well-defined CVD risk at rest and during pharmacological stress with dobutamine.

Authors: - Aryan Malviya , - Siddharth Singh , - R. Brindha , - R.K. Pongiannan
Published: April 2024

The objective of this project is to create a simulation for air cargo inspection using artificial intelligence (AI). This will be achieved by combining Pygame for simulating conveyor belts and YOLOv8 for detecting hazardous items. The
simulation replicates a conveyor belt system that transports air cargo for inspection. Pygame, a robust game development package, is used to build a graphically interactive environment where users may view and examine the cargo inspection process in a simulated context. The primary element of the project entails using YOLOv8, an advanced object detection model, to precisely locate dangerous things within the shipment. The real-time detection capabilities of YOLOv8 allow for quick and efficient examination of the cargo, ensuring the timely identification of any hazards.
The simulation serves as a platform to assess and verify the effectiveness of the AI-driven cargo inspection system across different scenarios. Users have the ability to engage with the simulation by modifying factors like the speed of the conveyor belt, the types of cargo, and the criteria for inspection. This allows them to assess the effectiveness of the system in identifying dangerous objects.
This project functions as an instructional tool to comprehend the incorporation of AI in cargo inspection, while also having practical implications for improving real-world air cargo security. Pygame and YOLOv8, when combined, offer a flexible and robust framework for simulating and evaluating AI-based inspection systems. This contributes to the progress of air cargo safety and security measures.

InterMine is an open source data warehouse system that can be used to create biological databases that can be accessed via web query tools. There are many public InterMine instances that are currently deployed worldwide and they share a core data model pertaining to common biological entities. Besides the core data model, each instance of InterMine typically has an extended data model to cover data specific to that particular deployment. The data is organised according to the graph-based data model but exists in a relational store (Postgres). The goal of this project was to explore the possibility of translating InterMine data from relational form to a graph form using Resource Description Framework (RDF) as the exchange format. This could provide a route to exposing data from InterMine instances as RDF triples and thus making it possible to query the data using the SPARQL Protocol and RDF Querying Language (SPARQL).
