Construção de corpus de 80 verbos de causalidade implícita no Português Brasileiro
Authors: Barbalho Rute da Silva , Carvalho Renata Sabrinne Souza de , Godoy Mahayana Cristina
Published: December 2024

O presente estudo tem por objetivo construir um corpus com verbos de viés de causalidade implícita, para ser usado posteriormente nos mais diversos tipos de trabalho. A Causalidade implícita é uma propriedade semântica que está presente em alguns verbos, os quais têm tendência a retomar a causa de determinado evento (Goikoetxea, Acha e Pascual, 2008). Na oração “Maria admirava João”, por exemplo, “admirava” é um verbo de causalidade implícita pois aponta para a causa da admiração, “João”, em detrimento de “Maria”. Assim, a partir de um experimento offline de complementação de sentenças, testamos qual o viés de CI de 80 verbos no PB (40 de viés SN1 e 40 de viés SN2), os quais são divididos em quatro categorias de acordo com a sua taxonomia: Agente-Paciente (AP), Agente-Evocador (AE), Estímulo-Experienciador (SE) e Experienciador-Estímulo (ES) (Rudolph, 1997). Além disso, verificamos se o gênero do participante da pesquisa influenciava o estabelecimento da correferência (Ferstl, Garnham e Manouilidou, 2011), como também o gênero gramatical dos participantes das sentenças, tendo em vista que homens são percebidos como mais causais que as mulheres (LaFrance, Brownell e Hahn, 1997). Os nossos resultados confirmam o viés de causalidade dos verbos: para AP e SE houve uma preferência de direcionar a causa para o SN1, enquanto em AE e ES há uma tendência de direcionamento da causa para o SN2, porém, não encontramos evidências da relação entre o gênero do participante e a CI.

A Not Entirely Secret History of Superinjunctions Against the British Press: When Public Interest Arguments Take Second Place
Authors: Anderson-Dupéré Mélanie
Published: December 2024

This article revisits the history of judicial pre-publication censorship since the passage of the 1998 Human Rights Act – mainly non-disclosure injunctions commonly referred to as superinjunctions – through the interplay between three ilities: Practicability, accountability and suitability. The intertwining of these three concepts offers a pathway to explore various strategies of circumvention employed within news organisations, the legislative and the general public, as well as the role of technology in facilitating such tactics, in cases of pre-publication censorship. A qualitative case-study approach is adopted and findings are based on open access archival research for the period since the afore mentioned Act came into effect. This article demonstrates how pressure has been brought to bear on the legislative and judiciary, as the national British press has criticised failure to recognise the significance of public interest in cases of pre-publication censorship. However, it is argued that change has been limited to a slightly greater degree of transparency and that the interplay between the three ilities reinforces calls for an end to this form of prior restraint on freedom of expression as well as improvements to the self-regulatory system in place.
Biblioscope and the Variety of Disability Media: The Construction and Institutionalisation of a Swedish Reading Device for People with Physical Impairments, 1954–1966
Authors: Florin Persson Erik
Published: December 2024

In the mid-1950s, the Gothenburg-based photographer Andrej Gavrjusjov constructed a microfilm reading device called Biblioscope, intended for hospital patients with physical impairments. Throughout the following years, reading devices and microfilmed books were distributed to hospital libraries across Sweden, but in the mid-1960s, the Biblioscope was taken out of distribution. By analysing this now largely forgotten technology, the article makes several contributions to the field of disability media studies. With a focus on material and economic factors, and intermedial relations, the article analyses the construction and institutionalisation of the Biblioscope. Although the Biblioscope was mainly aimed at hospital patients with physical impairments, the article highlights speculations about its future potential for a wider set of users, anticipating today’s reading of digital books on portable screens. In conclusion, the analysis shows how media technologies, which today seem self-evident, often have forerunners that were developed for individuals with disabilities.

Sodium bicarbonate buffered lignocaine verses hyaluronidase mixed lignocaine in peribulbar anesthesia: A comparative study
Authors: Unnisa Rahmath , Racha Lavanya
Published: December 2024

To compare sodium bicarbonate buffered lignocaine solution with hyaluronidase mixed with lignocaine in peribulbar anesthesia.

: Complete analgesia and akinesia are goals of any anesthetic procedure used for intraocular surgery the peribulbar technique is popular for safer approach. To achieve better efficacy of anesthesia various modifications have been made.

Hyaluronidase has been widely used in peribulbar anesthesia as it causes better absorption of anesthetic solution reducing the time of onset of anesthesia and bringing akinesia.

Recently some studies have doubted the efficiency of hyaluronidase in improving quality of anesthesia added to this cost factor of this drug, limited shelf life, and reusage in same sitting, risk of anaphylaxis due to its enzyme nature. Hence need for studying efficiency of sodium bicarbonate which is a cheaper alternative, readily in available, because of its basic nature alkalized the local anesthetic solution without risk of anaphylaxis.

The mean time for onset of total globe akinesia in group A is 4 and group B is 4.17. There was no statistical difference in two groups (p>0.05).

Sodium bicarbonate was shown to reduce the time of onset of block. Intraoperative analgesia is comparable in both groups, Chemosis is common complication in both groups. Sodium carbonate is cheaper alternative to hyaluronidase.
Calculation of dynamic characteristics of turbomachinery mechanical seals
Authors: Falaleev Sergey V. , Badykov Renat R. , Benedyuk Maksim A.
Published: December 2024

Rotor vibration stands out as one of the primary causes of mechanical seal failure. However, classical dynamic seal models often would not be able to fully explaining the failure process. Therefore, the proposed dynamic model systematization, including the models developed by the authors, proves invaluable in predicting the dynamic behavior of seals during operation within specific turbomachines or explaining the causes of seal failure. The single-mass dynamic model can be used to study the operation of the contact mechanical seals and simple dry gas seals. Meanwhile, the two-mass dynamic model is used for the studding of operational processes in classical dry gas seals under complex loading. Additionally, the three-mass dynamic model finds application in studying the operation of various complex mechanical seal types. This model is used to accurately determine the range of normal operating conditions for such seal types and to identify the mechanism of leakage loss in the presence of excessive rotor vibrations.

Pojawia się on jako aktywny uczestnik toczących się obecnie wojen kulturowych. Nie posługuje się opowiadaniem jako formą komunikacji międzyludzkiej. Realizuje się za to w aktach uniesienia, autodeklaracjach i okazjonalnych wydarzeniach. Tekst ma charakter przyczynku do wielowątkowej biografii nowoczesnej idei podmiotu. Stawia egzystencjalne pytania: co z nami w czasach po opowiadaniu? Jaką cenę musimy płacić za jego kulturową degradację? Biografia, jako tytułowa metafora, to figura epistemologiczna, która oznacza, że rozważania nie należą tu do dziedziny badań narratologicznych, lecz genealogicznych.
The Influence of Bergson’s Entropic and Negentropic Ideas on Polish Philosophy Before the Second World War
Authors: Polak Paweł , Rodzeń Jacek
Published: December 2024

The second law of thermodynamics and the concept of entropy became one of the most important scientific ideas to influence Western culture in the 19th century. Pessimistic conclusions, such as the concept of the heat death of the universe and the specter of the inevitable decay of everything, inspired philosophical reflection at the fin de siècle. The philosophy of Henri Bergson played a key role in overcoming this pessimistic attitude. In his famous work L’évolution créatrice (1907), he proposed a bold metaphysical vision for the completion of science through a vision of creative evolution driven by the metaphysical factor of élan vital in opposition to destructive (entropic) factors. Bergson’s philosophy appealed specifically to negentropic ideas, so it made an important contribution to the worldview debate of the time. The influence of Bergson’s thought on Polish philosophy has been studied many times, including from a worldview perspective, but no one has yet analyzed the impact of his entropic and negentropic ideas. With research into the cultural significance of these ideas developing today, such research would be particularly relevant. This paper therefore aims to fill this significant research gap and present an initial analysis of the influence of Bergson’s specific entropic and negentropic ideas on Polish thinkers prior to the outbreak of World War II. This paper begins with presenting the historical background for the influence of entropic ideas on Western thought at the turn of the 20th century. Bergson’s philosophical entropic and negentropic ideas are then analyzed. By outlining the background to their reception like this, it becomes possible to illustrate the reception process in Polish philosophy  in the next two parts. First, we focus on a group of philosophers who challenged the pessimistic consequences of the established scientific view of the world, while the following part shows the reactions to Bergson’s ideas by philosophers associated with science. Finally, some general conclusions are drawn about Bergson’s influence and the reasons for his failure. Some little-known connections between neo-romanticism and the reflection on entropic ideas are also highlighted.
Czy niewierzący są winni swojej niewiary? Teistka odpowiada teiście
Authors: Odoj Ewa
Published: December 2024

W artykule dyskutuję z zaproponowaną przez Ryszarda Mordarskiego obroną teizmu przed tzw. argumentem z ukrytości autorstwa Johna L. Schellenberga. Dążę do wykazania, że teiści nie mają podstaw, by twierdzić, że z pewnością nie istnieją nonresistant nonbelievers. W swojej argumentacji opieram się przede wszystkim na analizach epistemologicznych, a szczególną uwagę poświęcam procesowi nabywania przekonań religijnych (i szerzej – światopoglądowych) dzięki zeznaniu świadka lub autorytetu. Twierdzę między innymi, że jeśli uznamy, że przeciętny chrześcijanin jest rzetelny poznawczo, to nie możemy wykluczyć, że współczesny ateista, żyjący w zlaicyzowanym społeczeństwie Zachodu, również jest rzetelny poznawczo.
Problem upływu czasu, determinizmu i redukcjonizmu w filozofii fizyki Sabine Hossenfelder. Analiza krytyczna
Authors: Łukasik Andrzej
Published: December 2024

Artykuł niniejszy jest polemiką z niektórymi tezami sformułowanymi w pracy Sabine Hossenfelder Czy Wszechświat myśli? I inne ważne pytania nauki. Podano argumenty, że 1) twierdzenie o realnym istnieniu przeszłości, teraźniejszości i przyszłości jest tylko jedną z możliwych filozoficznych interpretacji czasoprzestrzeni szczególnej teorii względności, a teza o obiektywnym upływie czasu jest możliwa do pogodzenia z fizyką współczesną; 2) determinizm jest istotnie ograniczony przez probabilistyczny charakter jednej z fundamentalnych teorii fizyki współczesnej jaką jest mechanika kwantowa; 3) podejście redukcjonistyczne jest istotnie ograniczone przez teorię chaosu deterministycznego, w której zachowanie układów fizycznych jest opisywane przez nieliniowe równania różniczkowe, a także przez sytuację poznawczą w mechanice kwantowej.

Stosunek ludzi do zwierząt zależy od czynników i uwarunkowań kulturowych i społecznych. Relacje człowieka ze zwierzętami na przestrzeni wieków ulegały i nadal podlegają zmianom. Niewątpliwie kontakt ze zwierzętami towarzyszącymi przynosi ludziom różnorodne korzyści, od poprawy zdrowia fizycznego i psychicznego, poprzez pozytywny wpływ na możliwości uczenia się, aż po rozwój umiejętności społecznych i relacji międzyludzkich. W tym kontekście na obszarach zurbanizowanych coraz bardziej widoczna zaczyna być obecność zwierząt domowych, szczególnie psów. Potrzeby właścicieli psów i ich zwierząt wpływają na kształtowanie przestrzeni miast, natomiast zwierzęta oraz ich wpływ na człowieka i środowisko są nawet postrzegane jako rozwiązania oparte na naturze.
Autografy Aleksandra Brücknera w zbiorach Lwowskiej Narodowej Naukowej Biblioteki Ukrainy im. Wasyla Stefanyka
Authors: Gorb Eugen
Published: December 2024

Problem opracowania i opublikowania spuścizny epistolarnej jednego z twórców europejskiej slawistyki Aleksandra Brücknera jest jednym z kluczowych zadań na drodze do stworzenia kompleksowej biografii intelektualnej historyka kultury. Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza kilku listów Aleksandra Brücknera przechowywanych w zbiorach rękopiśmiennych Lwowskiej Narodowej Naukowej Biblioteki. Ukrainy im. Wasyla Stefanyka, które wcześniej nie były znane szerokiej publiczności. Te zabytki epistolarne ilustrują dwa zupełnie różne obszary zainteresowań berlińskiego slawisty – jego komunikację z innymi naukowcami i relacje z wybitnymi przedstawicielami inteligencji artystycznej.
Unikatowym źródłem jest list Brücknera do lwowskiej poetki Maryli Wolskiej, który stanowi rzadki przykład ilustracji preferencji literackich polsko-niemieckiego slawisty. W artykule prześledzono całą drogę recepcji twórczości Wolskiej przez Brücknera – od komplementarnych wypowiedzi w tekście listu po obszerną recenzję we wpływowej lwowskiej gazecie. Dwa listy  Brücknera do etnografa Jana Karłowicza ukazują wspólne wysiłki obu uczonych na polu badań nad folklorystycznym dziedzictwem narodów bałtyckich, aktualizacji kwestii odrębności kulturowej Kaszubów oraz potrzeby pogłębionych badań nad zabytkami literackimi w języku kaszubskim i ich popularyzacji.
Publikacja stanowi pośredni etap w badaniach nad spuścizną epistolarną Aleksandra Brücknera, przechowywaną w Dziale Rękopisów Lwowskiej Narodowej Naukowej Biblioteki. Ukrainy im. Wasyla Stefanyka. Podjęto próbę fizycznego opisu dokumentów, ustalenia daty i miejsca ich powstania, analizy ich treści oraz włączenia tych źródeł epistolarnych w ogólny kontekst biografii intelektualnej Aleksandra Brücknera oraz częściowo Jana Karłowicza i Maryli Wolskiej. Autor podkreśla szerokie perspektywy dalszego rozwoju tematu, polegające na publikowaniu listów Brücknera z odpowiednim komentarzem naukowym w ramach szerszych tematycznie zbiorów listów przedstawicieli europejskiej inteligencji naukowej i twórczej, którzy byli w jakiś sposób związani z ziemiami ukraińskimi.
Multimedia wsparciem dla katechezy – szanse i zagrożenia
Authors: Zając Marian
Published: December 2024

Przeprowadzona w artykule analiza zmierza do jednoznacznego potwierdzenia, że multimedia muszą być wykorzystywane w katechezie. Wynika to z faktu, że we współczesnym procesie edukacyjnym nastąpiła modyfikacja sposobów nauczania, poprzez zastąpienie pasywnych relacji pomiędzy nauczycielem a uczącymi się nowym czynnikiem wzajemnego odziaływania. Dzięki temu katecheza może skutecznej realizować swoje wychowawcze zadania. Wyjaśnieniu tytułowej problematyki posłużyła metoda analizy oraz interpretacji wskazań zawartych w wybranych dokumentach Kościoła oraz publikacjach teologicznych na temat multimediów. Natomiast sformułowanie wniosków i postulatów zostało dokonane przy pomocy metody syntezy. Najważniejsze ustalenia to wskazanie, że przekazywanie treści katechetycznych oraz ewentualna formacja chrześcijańska musi dokonywać się w środowisku, w którym przebywają współcześni katechizowani, a ono jest multimedialne. Zbudowanie zdecydowanego poparcia dla katechizowania przy wykorzystaniu multimediów powinno polegać najpierw na przedstawieniu ich potencjału edukacyjnego, a następnie na przygotowaniu katechetów do posługiwania się instrumentarium multimedialnym. Wskazane w artykule propozycje wykorzystania multimediów w katechezie wydają się adekwatne do współczesnych przemian społeczno-kulturowych, zwłaszcza pogłębiającej się obojętności wobec katechezy. Problematyka będąca przedmiotem analiz jest oryginalna i w zamyśle autora ma stanowić głos w dyskusji nad tworzoną aktualnie koncepcją kulturowej katechezy w zsekularyzowanym polskim społeczeństwie.
Biskupi rzecznikami ubogich i ewangelicznego ubóstwa: grupa „Jezus–Kościół–ubodzy” na trzeciej sesji Soboru Watykańskiego II
Authors: Pietrzak Andrzej
Published: December 2024

Artykuł, oparty na niepublikowanych materiałach archiwalnych z Archiwum Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Louvain-la-Neuve w Belgii, analizuje działalność grupy Jezus –Kościół – ubodzy podczas trzeciej sesji Soboru Watykańskiego II. Autor skupia się na trzech zagadnieniach: 1. Analizuje symboliczny gest Pawła VI, który podarował swoją tiarę papieską ubogim i potrzebującym. Omawia wydarzenie, jego kontekst – zwłaszcza encyklikę Ecclesiam suam – oraz konsekwencje dla grupy, zwłaszcza wzmocnienie potrzeby decyzji praktycznych. 2. Analizuje dwie petycje do Papieża dotyczące ubóstwa i prostoty życia Kościoła oraz ewangelizacji ubogich. 3. Omawia współpracę Jezus – Kościół – ubodzy z kardynałem Giacomo Lercaro w trakcie przygotowania raportu na temat ubóstwa, sporządzanego na prośbę Pawła VI, a zwłaszcza trzyczęściowe studium biskupa Marcosa McGrattha, ojca Yves Congara i biskupa Joannesa Wrighta.
Living a Post-Disaster Life: The Role of Cultural Adaptability, Coping Strategies, and Spiritual Support on Resilience Among Families Affected by the Semeru Eruption
Authors: Abdul Haris Fitri Anto
Published: December 2024

This research delved into the key determinants influencing family resilience in the aftermath of the Semeru volcano eruption. Catastrophic events like volcanic eruptions often create immense psychological and material challenges for affected families. Using a qualitative approach, this study conducts in-depth interviews with families residing in the Huntap-Huntara resettlement area of Lumajang Regency. The findings highlight three essential components of family resilience—belief systems, organisational structure, and communication coupled with problem-solving abilities—which are crucial in helping families recover. These components are shaped by both internal and external factors, including 1) flexible roles and cultural adaptability, 2) disaster-specific coping strategies, and 3) religious and spiritual support. Despite the uneven distribution of aid and the challenges of relocation, these resilience factors enable families to navigate post-disaster life. The study offers insights for future research and suggests potential psychological interventions to strengthen family resilience in similar contexts.

Published: December 2024

The dynamics of digital development are causing adaptive changes in the renewal of Islamic law. In the context of Islamic philanthropy, such as zakāh, infāq, sadaqah, and waqf (Ziswaf), stagnation is seen in assets managed traditionally as immovable objects used for consumptive purposes. The economic potential of zakāh and waqf, which amounts to hundreds of trillions, is significant for reducing high poverty rates and improving access to quality education. Therefore, this study aimed to discover a new model of Islamic philanthropy (Ziswaf) management handled more professionally, with innovations directed towards the public good (maslahah ammāh). Socio-anthropological and Islamic law perspectives were used, focusing on the actions of actors, such as campus leaders, lecturers, and managers of Ziswaf. The results of the study conducted at two Islamic campuses, Unissula and UIN Walisongo Semarang, showed that various models of Islamic philanthropy were developed professionally at Unissula in education, health, and business ventures. At UIN Walisongo, zakāh was managed through a professional governance model and via partnerships, such as with BAZ. Furthermore, ziswaf assets entrusted by wāqif and muzakkī at both campuses were developed productively, with proceeds distributed to support facilities and educational scholarships. At Unissula, distributions were allocated to programs, such as Quranic guidance, campus pesantren, and competency development across all faculties, from Medicine to Islamic Education. This productive management of Islamic philanthropy is consistent with principle of Maslahah, advancing Islamic education and the welfare of the Muslim community.

Food safety is a science that deals with preparing, managing, and storing food or beverages to be safe from physical, biological, and chemical contamination. The processing of petis (condiments of fermented fish or shrimp) crackers is one of the categories of SMEs in Kendal District, Central Java. The study aimed to evaluate the heavy metals of iron (Fe), lead (Pb), and other chemical features and to survey the processing of petis crackers. This is a descriptive study of an observational nature with a quantitative approach, especially by doing laboratory observations. The study also carried out qualitative observations using questionnaires regarding the manufacturing of petis crackers. Petis is food or items cooked in a thick, clayey, and elastic condiment group. The results showed that Fe levels vary from 48.00 to 82.00 mg/kg and Pb from 40.00 to 50.00 mg/kg. The average chemical properties of the petis crackers are as follows: 2.45% ash, 13.27% moisture, 3.13% protein, 0.15% fat, and 81.0%carbohydrate. The lead content surpasses the maximum limit of the standard set by the BPOM (The Indonesian Food and Drug Supervisory Agency).

Published: December 2024

The HIV epidemic continues to disproportionately affect young and active individuals in developing and low-income countries, including Iran. Among high-risk populations in Iran, HIV prevalence peaks at 3.5% among people who inject drugs and 2.5% among men who have sex with men. Despite progress in achieving the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets for HIV diagnosis, treatment, and viral suppression, significant gaps remain in early detection and reaching vulnerable populations, including pre-exposure prophylaxis and targeted outreach to key populations. Education and awareness campaigns are crucial for preventing the spread of HIV, particularly among young people. However, there is a need to improve education and access to information and HIV services for key populations. Expanding HIV testing and counselling services is vital for early diagnosis and treatment. Addressing the issue of late diagnosis, which can negatively impact treatment outcomes and mortality rates, is essential. Integrating HIV services into primary healthcare can improve access and outcomes. A holistic and multi-sectoral approach, encompassing education, prevention, treatment, and care, is necessary to curb the spread of HIV and improve the quality of life for individuals affected by HIV infection in Iran.
