Criminal Algorithms and Their Punishment in Modern Constitutionalism
Authors: Piparo Carlo , Blažek Radovan
Published: December 2024

Today's astonishing development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has marked the onset of a new era characterised by profound societal and legal changes. Among the numerous groundbreaking developments, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a pivotal force, penetrating virtually every aspect of our daily existence. From the domains of commerce and industry to healthcare, transportation, and entertainment, AI technologies have become indispensable instruments shaping our interactions, professions, and our way of navigating the world. With its extraordinary capabilities and ever-expanding influence, AI serves as a testament to humanity's unwavering commitment to innovation and the limitless potential of technology to transform our society. While Artificial Intelligence systems can execute actions akin to those that could constitute criminal activities if carried out by humans, the challenge arises from the fact that crimes are typically defined within the framework of established laws. Consequently, it can be quite challenging to classify such AI-induced actions as criminal due to the absence of specific legal provisions. Nevertheless, criminal acts are characterised by the intent - or mens rea - behind it. In this context, the intricate issue of assigning criminal responsibility to AI, being a non-human entity, presents particularly complex theoretical challenges, above all its punishment. This paper aims to define AI and its interactions with criminal law, briefly reconstruct potential liability models for AI, deconstruct the aim of punishment in modern constitutional systems, and evaluate whether modern legal systems allow machines to be punished.

The collective monograph compiled by professor Šišková, entitled "Legal Issues of Digitalisation, Robotisation and Cyber Security in the Light of EU Law", provides an ideal introduction for readers to current trends and challenges reflecting the development of modern technologies and their impact on both EU citizens and companies operating in the EU through EU Law.
Mapas del agua. Representaciones del Atlántico Sur y el Río de la Plata a comienzos del siglo XVI
Authors: Rossi Elgue Carlos A.
Published: December 2024

En este artículo analizaremos representaciones fundacionales sobre el Atlántico Sur y el Río de la Plata en documentos escritos y mapas que sirvieron para establecer rutas y, además, construir y proyectar un incipiente imaginario sobre la región. El río, en este período de descubrimiento y conquista, ganará fuerza en relatos en los que se presenta como vía para avanzar hacia el norte, donde se encontrarían grandes riquezas. Zona de inestabilidad y peligro, el río es un protagonista ineludible: en las cartas de Luis Ramírez (1528), Francisco de Villalta (1536-1556) y en el Islario de Alonso de Santa Cruz (1542-1565), quien también confecciona un mapa de la región, es posible rastrear la necesidad de controlar ese espacio desconocido y hostil, fijando sus límites y tomando posesión a medida que se avanza por los cauces de agua. Los riesgos de la navegación influirán en las representaciones discursivas e iconográficas de las aguas definiendo, progresivamente, las características de este nuevo espacio de deseo.
Viajero, huérfano, peregrino. El lugar de autor en La Argentíada (1857) de Manuel Rogelio Tristany
Authors: Tieffemberg Silvia
Published: December 2024

En 1857 se publica en Montevideo un poema épico tardío denominado La Argentíada. Poema histórico-descriptivo escrito en variedad de metros por un solitario de América. Su autor, el catalán Manuel Rogelio Tristany, había arribado a la región en 1852 huyendo de la guerra civil que enfrentaba a “carlistas” y “constitucionalistas”: su familia había proporcionado a las tropas carlistas dos de sus más conspicuos representantes, el sacerdote y guerrillero Benito Tristany, fusilado en Solsona, y Rafael Tristany, comandante de las fuerzas carlistas en Cataluña. Este trabajo focaliza su análisis en algunos pasajes de La Argentíada, considerando en particular la construcción de autor que Tristany realiza en su obra. Si bien se trata de un poema épico de tema americano cuyo numen poético es Cristóbal Colón, el autor, especialmente desde los paratextos, legitima su condición de huérfano y desterrado de España como viajero solitario que ofrece a la conformación de la patria sudamericana su conocimiento sobre la historia y la geografía de la región. Y en este sentido, se considera el vínculo de la obra con los relatos de viaje, haciendo hincapié, en particular, en los procedimientos discursivos ligados a la descripción, que operan en la estructura total del poema.
Los relatos de viaje a la luz de los estudios antropológicos y sociológicos sobre el turismo: propuesta metodológica
Authors: Zygmunt Karolina
Published: December 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar un nuevo enfoque multidimensional e interdisciplinar para el análisis de los relatos de viaje. Se parte de la idea de que el turismo de masas constituye el contexto de los viajes contemporáneos y sus relatos, condicionando de esta forma tanto la experiencia y la escritura como la recepción de las obras por parte de los lectores. En la perspectiva propuesta, el uso de las principales teorías antropológicas y sociológicas sobre el turismo se considera una aproximación valiosa para arrojar luz sobre los relatos de viaje. Las principales herramientas de las ciencias humanas y sociales aplicables al análisis literario que se explotan en este trabajo son la dicotomía viajero versus turista, la teorización de la relación anfitrión-invitado y la visión del turismo como consumidor y generador de espacios. Esta nueva metodología, desarrollada en una monografía previa sobre los relatos de viaje contemporáneos por la Ruta de la Seda (Zygmunt, 2021) y plasmada ya en trabajos de otros investigadores, permite no solo ampliar el horizonte interpretativo de los textos viáticos, sino también hace posible contribuir al debate general sobre el género.

Authors: Bonface Shisakha Mmbaka , Njuguna Felicita , Ogeta Norbert
Published: December 2024

E-Learning has not gained widespread popularity as an instructional method in universities, primarily due to faculty members' readiness and awareness limited levels. This study examined faculty preparedness and use of e-Learning. The sample consisted of 6 Directors, 12 Heads of Department, 90 faculty members and 335 students in Kenyan universities. Data were gathered through a semi-structured questionnaire from faculty and students and in-depth interviews with Directors and Heads of Departments. The study concluded that blended learning is the faculty members’ preferred instructional model, aligning with literature that emphasize its benefits in promoting flexibility, engagement and inclusivity. While the majority of faculty members rated their e-learning utilization as proficient, with most using resources like the internet and whiteboards effectively, the minority reported average or poor utilization, indicating a need for targeted interventions to enhance digital literacy and ensure equitable e-learning adoption. Finally, the study concludes that Moodle was the most preferred platform due to its flexibility and interactivity while WebCT was the less commonly used platform. Study recommends that policy makers should invest in infrastructure, training and awareness campaigns to support blended learning and e-Learning platform adoption and utilization.

In a study conducted at Al-Diwaniyah Hospital between February 2024 and September 2024, samples were collected from various anatomical sites including the face, hands, feet, genital area, and other parts, the antimicrobial efficacy of various antibiotics against Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species was investigated, focusing on eleven different antibiotics. For Staphylococcus, the results indicate notable variations in minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) across the antibiotics tested. Among the aminoglycosides, Amikacin exhibited a MIC of 9.5 ± 1.5, while Gentamicin showed a slightly higher MIC of 14.3 ± 1.8. Fluoroquinolones like Ciprofloxacin demonstrated an MIC of 16.7 ± 2.3, with Rifampicin displaying a relatively higher MIC of 20.56 ± 3.67. The combination sulfonamide Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim and Nitrofurantoin exhibited MICs of 13.83 ± 2.11 and 15.76 ± 2.13, respectively. Erythromycin and Tetracycline displayed ineffective results with MICs of 0. The weakest value of the geometric mean determined for there was 6.83 ± 1.23 for Penicillin and the highest value was for Vancomycin 8.9 ± 3.69. While the minimum inhibitory concentration values for Streptococcus species were in the same range for Staphylococcus species with some few differences. For example, Amikacin had an MIC of 10.2 ± 1.3 for Streptococcus. The other results were a ciprofloxacin MIC of 17.5 ± 2.1, an aminoglycoside gentamicin MIC of 13.8 ± 1.2 and a rifampicin which presented an MIC of 21.4 ± 3.1.

Ayurvedic Management of Shwitra (Vitiligo)
Authors: Raj Kumar Jangir  , Jyoti Kumari Jangir
Published: December 2024

In Ayurveda, skin diseases are classified under Kushta Roga with Shwitra being one of its notable conditions. Shwitra is characterized by whitish patches on the skin, primarily resulting from the involvement of Sapta Dravyas i.e., Vata, Pitta, Kapha, Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, and Meda. Shwitra is often correlated with vitiligo, a hypopigmentation disorder impacting about 1% of the global population. While Shwitra is not harmful in a physical sense, it can significantly affect a child’s social and mental well-being. Methodology- This case report presents a 13-year-old female patient came to SBLD Panchakarma OPD with complaint of white patches on her face and both upper and lower limbs, accompanied by mild itching but no burning sensation since one year. The initial treatment involved Shamana chikitsa followed by Shodhana Chikitsa for a period of three months, with regular follow-ups to assess changes in the size, no. and colour of the patches. This article discusses the Ayurvedic management of Shwitra, highlighting treatment efficacy. Result and Discussion- The patient exhibited notable improvement following Virechana and subsequent Shamana Aushadis. The treatment protocol effectively facilitated the re-pigmentation of the de-pigmented patches. No. of patches are reduced after treatment. This case underscores the potential of Ayurvedic treatments for Shwitra, reaffirming their efficacy as described in classical texts. Such outcomes could be fundamental in managing future cases of similar skin conditions. Conclusion- The rising incidence of vitiligo is linked to lifestyle factors, making it essential to address its causes through Ayurveda. Shwitra Chikitsa offers treatments that improve pigmentation and mental well-being. Using Shodhana and Shamana therapies, practitioners can target the root causes, reduce patches, and restore normal skin pigmentation while preventing recurrence.

Authors: Anu Sreedevi  , Sethu R
Published: December 2024

Nature is considered as a mighty healer for human beings since ages. It is undoubtful that Plants offers a plentiful reservoir of medicinal compounds. Among these, secondary metabolites are the phytochemicals produced as a result of protection against pathogens, herbivorous animals, and other environmental stress factors. Phytoncides are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) produced by the plants in order to protect themselves from bacteria, fungi, insects and other organisms and are released into the air, thereby forming a protective environment around the plant. These phytoncides which are mostly of isoprene origin has exhibited various pharmacological activities. Researches have found that forest bathing or prolonged exposure to forest volatile oils can have a profound impact on both physical and mental well being of humans. Since these chemicals act mainly by stimulating olfactory receptors and interacting with nasal mucous membranes, they can be considered similar to aromatherapy. Aromatherapy basically works through olfactory system as well as through dermal absorption. Both share some general health benefits like enhancing immunity by increasing NK cell activity and reducing the mental stress. Recently, many expert scientists around the world has developed new concepts like forest medicine and forest therapy, which may open up ways for in depth study of this topic.

Shirodhara, an integral practice in Ayurvedic medicine, involves the continuous pouring of
warm, herbal-infused oil over the forehead, primarily aiming to harmonize the body's physiological systems.
While traditionally known for its therapeutic benefits in stress relief and mental clarity, Shirodhara also offers
a multitude of cosmetic advantages. This review explores the cosmetic benefits of Shirodhara, focusing on its
role in promoting scalp health, stimulating hair growth, and enhancing overall skin appearance. The
treatment’s efficacy in reducing stress and improving sleep quality plays a pivotal role in mitigating stressinduced cosmetic conditions such as acne, premature aging, and hair loss. By lowering cortisol levels,
Shirodhara supports a healthier complexion and stronger hair. Enhanced blood circulation from the warm oil's
continuous flow ensures that more nutrients and oxygen reach the scalp and skin, promoting cell regeneration
and repairing damaged tissues. Herbal oils like Bhringraj, Amla, and Coconut oil used in Shirodhara
strengthen hair follicles, deeply moisturize the scalp, and combat dryness and dandruff. These oils are rich in
antioxidants and essential nutrients that fortify the hair shaft, leading to thicker, more resilient hair. The
treatment’s balancing effect on hormonal levels also addresses issues like melasma, hirsutism, and cystic acne.
Additionally, the deep conditioning effect of the oils enhances skin elasticity, reduces fine lines and wrinkles,
and imparts a youthful glow, while improved lymphatic drainage helps detoxify the skin, reduce puffiness,
and prevent dark circles. In conclusion, Shirodhara provides a holistic approach to enhancing cosmetic health
by integrating stress reduction, hormonal balance, and targeted scalp and skin care, making it a valuable
practice in both traditional and modern beauty therapies.

Compartment syndrome is a critical condition characterized by elevated pressures within constricted myofascial compartments, leading to vascular compromise, hypoxia, and potential irreversible injury. While commonly affecting the forearm and lower leg, compartment syndrome of the hand is rare and poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The pathophysiology involves increased intracompartmental pressure from various etiologies, such as trauma, edema, or external compression, culminating in a cycle of ischemia and worsening edema. Rhabdomyolysis, defined by rapid muscle tissue degradation and release of intracellular components into the bloodstream, is intricately linked to compartment syndrome, with each condition potentially exacerbating the other. Elevated serum creatine kinase and myoglobin levels are hallmark diagnostic markers of rhabdomyolysis.

Hand compartment syndrome, despite its rarity, necessitates prompt identification and surgical intervention. The hand's complex anatomical structure comprises ten compartments, each at risk for ischemic injury under increased pressure. Clinically, hand compartment syndrome manifests as severe pain disproportionate to injury, edema, and abnormal posturing. Diagnosis relies on clinical suspicion, supported by intracompartmental pressure monitoring. Emergent fasciotomy remains the definitive treatment, requiring multiple incisions to decompress affected compartments. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is valuable for assessing tissue damage and guiding management strategies. This review underscores the importance of early recognition and timely intervention in compartment syndrome and highlights the interdependent relationship between compartment syndrome and rhabdomyolysis.

BRASH syndrome is an underrecognized yet potentially life-threatening clinical entity characterized by the interplay of bradycardia, renal failure, AV-node blockade, shock, and hyperkalemia. This syndrome represents a complex feedback loop where the synergistic effects of hyperkalemia and atrioventricular nodal blocking agents precipitate severe bradycardia, exacerbating renal perfusion and resulting in acute kidney injury. This further amplifies hyperkalemia, perpetuating a vicious cycle that can culminate in cardiogenic shock and multiorgan dysfunction.

Despite its significance, BRASH syndrome is often misdiagnosed as isolated hyperkalemia or primary heart block, leading to delays in appropriate management. Early recognition and a systematic approach to its pathophysiology are essential for targeted treatment. The present review synthesizes current knowledge on the pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, and evidence-based management strategies for BRASH syndrome, emphasizing the importance of tailored therapeutic interventions to break the cycle of deterioration. Additionally, we discuss emerging insights into its pathophysiology and highlight gaps in the literature requiring further investigation.

Published: December 2024

Objective: The objective of this work is to evaluate differences in the balance of children who perform physical activity compared to those who do not.
Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a child population (N=130). Two study groups were established: non-physical activity group (n=68) and physical activity group (n=62). Outcome measures were Romberg test (with eyes open and eyes closed), one-legged support test (with eyes open and eyes closed) and unstable surface test (with eyes open and eyes closed). The ability and the time that they held in balance were valued. A 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was employed, and all values with a p-value lower than 0.05 were considered to be statistically significant.
Results: T-Student test revealed statistically significant results in favor of the group of children who performed physical activity for measures of the ability to perform the Romberg test with eyes closed (p<0.001); unstable surface ability with eyes open and eyes closed (p=0.03 and p<0.001 respectively); ability for the one-leg stand test with eyes open and with eyes closed (p<0.002 and p<0.001, respectively); and time in one-legged support with eyes closed (p<0.004).
Conclusions: Children who perform physical activity have a better ability to maintain balance compared to children who do not perform physical activity.

GLOBALISATION MOVEMENTS AND ITS IDENTITY: UNVEILING ANTI-WTO PROTESTS THROUGH THE LENS OF INDIAN FARMERS' AGITATIONS
Authors: Das Sailen
Published: December 2024

The study aims to examine if the globalisation movement constitutes a novel and distinct type of politics that has arisen worldwide since the mid-1990s. A coalition of diverse demonstrators from many sectors of society joined forces to combat the inequities resulting from globalization. The movement employs highly democratic political methods and confrontational strategies to directly target the economic and political systems of global capital. This study aims to examine the predominant political nature of such movements. The primary question that this study seeks to address is whether the globalisation movement is primarily driven by identity-based concerns or concerns related to economic and political development. This article examines several case studies on direct-action politics and globalisation movements, specifically focusing on farmers' protests against anti-WTO policies in the Indian setting. This article aims to support this remark by utilizing data from many sources such as literature, official records, and field work.  The study picked two prominent farmers' associations, namely Karnataka Rajjya Rasta Sangha and Bharatiya Kishan Union.  Approximately 200 farmers, accompanied by renowned leaders, were chosen during field trips to investigate the entitlement to identity, nature, role, and importance of the study.

Authors: Rathod Tresha , Sawalia Jamnadas
Published: December 2024

Objective: Competitive anxiety is a psychological factor that negatively impacts sports performance and self-confidence among athletes. This study investigates the impact of an 8-week yoga-based intervention on competitive anxiety and self-confidence among collegiate tennis players. Methods: A one-group pretest-posttest research design was adopted, with 47 tennis players (27 males, 20 females) aged 17 to 22 years participating. Participants were assessed for cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety, and self-confidence using the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) before and after the intervention. The yoga module, comprising breathing exercises (prāṇāyāma), mindfulness-based postures (āsanas), and sound-based relaxation (nāda yoga), was implemented thrice weekly for 45 minutes over eight weeks. Data were analyzed for pre-post changes in anxiety and self-confidence levels. Results: Significant reductions were observed in cognitive anxiety (males: t = 3.197, p < 0.001; females: t = 2.443, p < 0.05) and somatic anxiety (males: t = 3.620, p < 0.001; females: t = 4.947, p < 0.001). Self-confidence levels significantly improved among both males (t = 2.929, p < 0.001) and females (t = 3.622, p < 0.001). Gender differences in baseline anxiety levels were evident, with females reporting higher cognitive and somatic anxiety than males. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that yoga significantly reduces competitive anxiety and enhances self-confidence among young tennis players, underscoring its effectiveness as a psychological tool for athletes. This study highlights the potential of yoga-based interventions to address the psychological demands of competitive sports, particularly for tennis players, and calls for further exploration of gender-specific impacts.
A temporaneidade como fundamento da transcendência do Dasein, da intramundanidade e da intratemporalidade
Authors: Ferreira Acylena
Published: December 2024

Nosso objetivo consiste em explicitar como acontece a temporaneidade de tempo (dar-se do tempo) e a temporaneidade de ser (temporanização de ser). O problema que enfrentaremos, nesse artigo, será mostrar como os caráteres de abertura e de horizonte, próprios das temporaneidades de tempo, concedem sentido à manifestação de ser. Enfrentaremos esse desafio pautados no conceito de temporalidade ekstático-horizontal, porque pressupomos que através dele poderemos apontar como as temporaneidades de tempo e de ser são constituídas nesse período da filosofia de Heidegger. Nossa finalidade é clarificar como a intramundanidade, a transcendência do Dasein e a intratemporalidade são constituídas pelas temporaneidades de tempo e de ser.
Heidegger, a techne como um modo da verdade e o fim da filosofia
Authors: Provinciatto Luís Gabriel
Published: December 2024

Este artigo analisa a relação entre τέχνη e ἀλήθεια, mostrando como Heidegger recorre a essas concepções gregas para afirmar que a técnica moderna representa o fim da filosofia. Trata-se de ler Heidegger a partir de sua própria obra, assumindo como ponto de partida as preleções O Sofista de Platão (1924/1925). Nestas, ao preparar a interpretação do diálogo platônico, Heidegger mostra que, em Aristóteles, ἐπιστήμη e τέχνη são os dois modos imediatos do ἀληθεύειν e dizem respeito, respectivamente, àquilo que propicia o saber (ἐπιστημονικόν) e a reflexão (λογιστικόν). Em sua obra tardia, Heidegger postula a técnica moderna, cuja essência é denominada Ge-stell, como o fim da filosofia. Nesse cenário, este artigo propõe construir uma chave de leitura para a técnica moderna como fim da filosofia a partir da interpretação que Heidegger apresenta sobre a τέχνη em Platão e Aristóteles. Argumenta-se que a técnica moderna não é apenas um meio para um fim, mas um modo da verdade que subjugou até mesmo o pensar filosófico, culminando no domínio da técnica sobre todas as esferas da existência.
Anotações sobre a conferência “O conceito de tempo” de Martin Heidegger
Authors: Kirchner Renato
Published: December 2024

Tendo como referência principal a conferência O conceito de tempo, o presente artigo assume o propósito circunstanciar o contexto em que ela foi pronunciada. Além disso, trata-se de evidenciar em que medida a reflexão proposta por Heidegger, naquela ocasião, se movimenta conceitualmente numa perspectiva muito própria e peculiar. Por fim, pretende-se também apontar relações que o texto da conferência de 1924 tem com outros textos do filósofo de Messkirch e, neste caso, tanto a anos anteriores como aos anos seguintes, como é o caso, inequivocamente, do tratado Ser e tempo, publicado em 1927.
Aristóteles y la fundamentación histórico-crítica de la «hermenéutica fenomenológica de la facticidad»
Authors: Contreras Andrés Francisco
Published: December 2024

El artículo se propone analizar el papel de la figura de Aristóteles y de las “interpretaciones fenomenológicas de Aristóteles”, realizadas por Heidegger (1921-1924), en el contexto de una “hermenéutica fenomenológica de la facticidad”; con base en el llamado Informe a Natorp (1922) y el curso del semestre verano de 1923 en Friburgo (GA 63). En primer lugar, se destaca la presencia implícita de las concepciones ontológicas provenientes de Aristóteles en la “situación fáctica” del momento; lo que exige llevar a cabo, según Heidegger, una apropiación crítica del presente y un trabajo histórico de desmontaje (Abbau) de la tradición ontológica. En segundo lugar, se aborda la tarea de reconducir (zurücknehmen) la ontología y la lógica tradicionales al problema de la facticidad, como elemento fundamental del trabajo crítico-deconstructivo que hace parte de una “hermenéutica fenomenológica de la facticidad”. En tercer lugar, se caracteriza la figura de Aristóteles como modelo (Vorbild) y “fenomenólogo”, que se relaciona con los pensadores de la naturaleza que lo antecedieron, del mismo modo como el propio Heidegger desea ocuparse de la tradición ontológica. En cuarto lugar, se muestra cómo la herencia de Parménides, asumida por Aristóteles, termina reduciendo el ser del ser humano a una realidad efectiva, equiparable al tipo de comparecencia de los entes que pueden moverse o producirse. Finalmente, se muestra la apropiación heideggeriana de las virtudes dianoéticas presentes en el libro VI de la Ética a Nicómaco (φρόνεσις, τέχνη, ἐπιστήμη, σοφία y νοῦς) y su correspondencia con las estructuras de ser de la propia vida fáctica (ser-con, ocupación, conocimiento teorético —científico o contemplativo— y “ahí” del “ser-ahí”, respectivamente), que Heidegger desarrolla en los cursos de la época y posteriormente en Ser y tiempo (1927).
