THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL OUTLOOK ON CRITIQUE OF IDEOLOGY
Authors:   HSE University, STENINA MARIA
Published: August 2023

The article further elaborates on a project of phenomenological critique of ideology and reveals its potential for the discourse of literature. Since the paradigm of studying ideology as a ‘false consciousness’ set in classical Marxism run into several problems connected with the transition from being in ideology to performing its critique, a genuine way out of it became impossible due to the totality of a discursive structure common to them. The articulation of this paradox in Karl Mannheim, Louis Althusser, Paul Ricœur, Michel Pecheux, and Mikel Dufrenne changed the way of statement of the question, shifting the emphasis from the content of ideology and its characteristic features to the status of a critic who is inevitably hypostatizing his thinking. The change of perspective, in turn, entailed a transformation of the method: while the previous tradition focused on finding a connection between the distorted representation of reality in ideological consciousness and the social position of its bearer, structuralist and phenomenological approaches tend to consider the contingent content of consciousness as an inevitable consequence of its structuring always-already-given horizon of meaning. Working with the latter, Mark Richir introduces the concept of a symbolic institution—the domain of meaning, which determines the human habitus, providing it with linguistic and cultural practices that have lost their phenomenological origin. In this framework, the criticism of ideology is understood as an exit from a symbolic institution, albeit temporary. Mark Richir thematizes this exit as an encounter between symbolic and phenomenological registers, i. e. a phenomenological challenge that assumes the agent of the reduction. Nevertheless, gaining a foothold 'outside' the symbolic institution is impossible: the overcome symbolic order undergoes recoding over time. Therefore, the phenomenological criticism of ideology cannot offer a normative program of a presumed non-ideological field to which the previous tradition aspired. The work hypothesizes that such critique is given as a trace of a once-perfect exit from a symbolic institution and is subject to interpretation as evidence. The development of this hypothesis is presented in the final, practical part of the work.
HUSSERL AND DERRIDA ON THE PROCESS OF SENSE FORMATION—GAPS AND EXCESSES
Authors:   University of Wuppertal, BREUER IRENE
Published: August 2023

This paper deals with the problem of the origin of sense and meaning. For Husserl, the determination of the ideal identity of something new can only take place retroactively in the totality of the preceding series by stepping back towards the original foundation of sense. In this regard, J. Derrida questions the ideality of the same as presence and the possibility of retrieving any arché of sense in his writings Speech and Phenomena and Edmund Husserl’s Origin of Geometry. Phenomenology is not oblivious to these difficulties, as results from a closer reading of the correlation between idealities and sensory experience: It will show that there are at least four interrelated gaps in the Husserlian phenomenology which testify the difficulty in grasping a retraceable arché of sense. First, the gap between the ideality of sense and its representation. Second, the gap between sensory and categorial intuitions, whereby both exceed one another. Third, the gap between the ideality of sense and the sense which exceeds our expectations. Fourth, the gap between the experience of the new that overcomes us and its apprehension by consciousness. Hence, there is a fundamental gap between the conceptual idealities and the essential indeterminacy of our phenomenological sensory experience, which is correlative to an excess of one in respect to the other. In this sense, Derrida’s concepts of « différance » and “invention” allow us to conceive of this self-givenness of sense as the expression of its constant self-renewal. This expression takes the form of a trace, which, neither present nor absent, suspends meaning and full presence, leaving the narrative “open” for the reinvention of sense.

Published: August 2023

Water security and urban flooding have become major sustainability issues. This paper presents a novel method to introduce rates of change as the state-of-the-art approach in artificial intelligence model development for sustainability agenda. Multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and deep learning long short-term memory (LSTM) models were considered for flood forecasting. Historical rainfall data from 2008 to 2021 at 11 telemetry stations were obtained to predict flow at the confluence between Klang River and Ampang River. The initial results of MLP yielded poor performance beneath normal expectations, which was R = 0.4465, MAE = 3.7135, NSE = 0.1994 and RMSE = 8.8556. Meanwhile, the LSTM model generated a 45% improvement in its R-value up to 0.9055. Detailed investigations found that the redundancy of data input that yielded multiple target values had distorted the model performance. Qt was introduced into input parameters to solve this issue, while Qt+0.5 was the target value. A significant improvement in the results was detected with R = 0.9359, MAE = 0.7722, NSE = 0.8756 and RMSE = 3.4911. When the rates of change were employed, an impressive improvement was seen for the plot of actual vs. forecasted flow. Findings showed that the rates of change could reduce forecast errors and were helpful as an additional layer of early flood detection.
A Fuzzy Inference System for enhanced groundwater quality assessment and index determination
Authors: Sajan R. Isaac , Christopher V. Bibin
Published: August 2023

Groundwater is a vital resource for human consumption, particularly in rural areas with limited access to treated water. The conventional Water Quality Index models used for this purpose have limitations related to data volatility and judgment uncertainties. To overcome these limitations, our study introduces a novel approach that employs a Fuzzy Inference System to determine the Water Quality Index. The dataset used in our research includes multiple parameters such as pH, EC, TDS, Ca, Mg, Na, K, HCO3, Cl, SO4, TH, DWQI, and other physio-chemical and chemical parameters. Our approach utilizes linguistic variables, fuzzy rules, and the hyperbolic tangent set function to handle imprecise and uncertain water quality data. By employing Fuzzy C-Means clustering, we group similar water samples based on quality parameters and map membership values to linguistic terms representing water quality categories. Suitable defuzzification methods are then applied to convert fuzzy outputs into precise results. This proposed approach provides a comprehensive framework for accurate water quality assessment, enabling informed decision-making and more reliable and precise evaluations of groundwater quality.

The Relationship between Nursing Job Satisfaction and Missed Nursing Care in Critical Care Units
Authors: AL-Mnaizel Emad Attallah Mohammad , AL-Zaru Ibtisam M.
Published: August 2023

Background:

Missed nursing care is a common occurrence that has a negative impact on the standard of patient care. Missed care is indicative of nurses' affected work satisfaction in times of workflow. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of missed nursing care (MNC), and the reasons for its occurrence among Jordanian nurses. The study sought to assess the level of job satisfaction and missed nursing care among Jordanian nurses and their association with demographic variables.

Methods:

A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used in this study. A convenience sample of 181 registered nurses working in different critical care units in one teaching hospital and two government hospitals was recruited. Three tools were used to collect the data: a sociodemographic data form, a survey of missed nursing care (MISSCARE Survey) consisting of two parts (part A was designed to measure missed nursing care (MNC), and part B addressed the reasons for MNC), and the nursing-workplace satisfaction questionnaire (NWSQ).

Results:

The results of the study revealed Jordanian nurses in critical care units to have a moderate level of job satisfaction (45.50±9.09). In addition, the total mean score of the MNC was found to be 2.18±0.40 out of 5, which is a low level of missed nursing care. The most commonly occurring missed nursing care aspects were turning patients every 2 hours (2.53 ±1.43), mouth care (2.37 ±1.36), and teaching patients about illness, tests, and diagnostic studies (2.36 ±1.47). Moreover, among the reasons for missed nursing care with respect to teamwork, the caregiver being off the unit or unavailable was the most significant one (24.3%, n=44); with respect to the material resources, the unavailability of medications, when needed, was the most significant factor (21.5%, n=39) for missed nursing care, and regarding the labor resources, an unexpected rise in patient volume and acuity on the unit was the most significant factor influencing missed nursing care (23.8%, n=43). Finally, a statistically significant weak negative correlation was found between nurses’ job satisfaction and missed nursing care score (R=-0.177, P=0.012).

Conclusion:

The study concluded that nurses in critical units have a low level of missed nursing care and a moderate level of job satisfaction.

Prescribing Patterns of Dupilumab for Atopic Dermatitis in Adults: Retrospective, Observational Cohort Study
Authors: Sivesind Torunn E , Oganesyan Ani , Bosma Grace , Hochheimer Camille , Schilling Lisa M , Dellavalle Robert
Published: August 2023

Background

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory disease caused by a type 2 T helper cell–mediated immune response to environmental antigens. Approximately 1 in 5 patients with AD presents with moderate to severe disease, and treatments approved by the Food and Drug Administration include emollients, topical glucocorticoids, and calcineurin inhibitors. Dupilumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody, improves AD via inhibition of interleukin-4 and interleukin-13.

Objective

Our aim was to characterize the prescribing patterns of dupilumab for AD in adults at a large university-affiliated health system.

Methods

A retrospective, observational cohort study was conducted using electronic data from the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics database, assessing data from the University of Colorado Medical Campus and its affiliates. The outcome measured was the prevalence of dupilumab prescribed for adults with AD (n=6421), between March 28, 2013, and March 28, 2021. We assessed whether the characteristics of patients who received dupilumab were different from those who did not. Each patient characteristic was assessed using a univariate logistic regression with the binary outcome of receiving or not receiving dupilumab.

Results

We found a population prevalence of 5.6% (6421/114,476) for AD. In our cohort, Black patients with AD were more than twice as likely to have received dupilumab compared to White patients (odds ratio 2.352, 95% CI 1.58-3.39). Patients with a diagnosis of atopic neurodermatitis were approximately twice as likely to have received dupilumab compared to those with other diagnostic variants of AD (odds ratio 1.87, 95% CI 1.01-3.22).

Conclusions

Our results demonstrate that both patient racial characteristics and specific AD diagnoses were associated with variations in dupilumab prescription patterns.

Authors: Stremmel Christopher , Breitschwerdt Rüdiger
Published: August 2023

Background

The digital transformation of our health care system has experienced a clear shift in the last few years due to political, medical, and technical innovations and reorganization. In particular, the cardiovascular field has undergone a significant change, with new broad perspectives in terms of optimized treatment strategies for patients nowadays.

Objective

After a short historical introduction, this comprehensive literature review aimed to provide a detailed overview of the scientific evidence regarding digitalization in the diagnostics and therapy of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Methods

We performed an extensive literature search of the PubMed database and included all related articles that were published as of March 2022. Of the 3021 studies identified, 1639 (54.25%) studies were selected for a structured analysis and presentation (original articles: n=1273, 77.67%; reviews or comments: n=366, 22.33%). In addition to studies on CVDs in general, 829 studies could be assigned to a specific CVD with a diagnostic and therapeutic approach. For data presentation, all 829 publications were grouped into 6 categories of CVDs.

Results

Evidence-based innovations in the cardiovascular field cover a wide medical spectrum, starting from the diagnosis of congenital heart diseases or arrhythmias and overoptimized workflows in the emergency care setting of acute myocardial infarction to telemedical care for patients having chronic diseases such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, or hypertension. The use of smartphones and wearables as well as the integration of artificial intelligence provides important tools for location-independent medical care and the prevention of adverse events.

Conclusions

Digital transformation has opened up multiple new perspectives in the cardiovascular field, with rapidly expanding scientific evidence. Beyond important improvements in terms of patient care, these innovations are also capable of reducing costs for our health care system. In the next few years, digital transformation will continue to revolutionize the field of cardiovascular medicine and broaden our medical and scientific horizons.
Public Opinions About Palliative and End-of-Life Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Twitter-Based Content Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Wang Yijun , Chukwusa Emeka , Koffman Jonathan , Curcin Vasa
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND

Palliative and end-of-life care (PEoLC) played a critical role in relieving distress and providing grief support in response to the heavy toll caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known about public opinions concerning PEoLC during the pandemic. Given that social media have the potential to collect real-time public opinions, an analysis of this evidence is vital to guide future policy-making.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to use social media data to investigate real-time public opinions regarding PEoLC during the COVID-19 crisis and explore the impact of vaccination programs on public opinions about PEoLC.

METHODS

This Twitter-based study explored tweets across 3 English-speaking countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. From October 2020 to March 2021, a total of 7951 PEoLC-related tweets with geographic tags were retrieved and identified from a large-scale COVID-19 Twitter data set through the Twitter application programming interface. Topic modeling realized through a pointwise mutual information–based co-occurrence network and Louvain modularity was used to examine latent topics across the 3 countries and across 2 time periods (pre- and postvaccination program periods).

RESULTS

Commonalities and regional differences among PEoLC topics in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada were identified specifically: cancer care and care facilities were of common interest to the public across the 3 countries during the pandemic; the public expressed positive attitudes toward the COVID-19 vaccine and highlighted the protection it affords to PEoLC professionals; and although Twitter users shared their personal experiences about PEoLC in the web-based community during the pandemic, this was more prominent in the United States and Canada. The implementation of the vaccination programs raised the profile of the vaccine discussion; however, this did not influence public opinions about PEoLC.

CONCLUSIONS

Public opinions on Twitter reflected a need for enhanced PEoLC services during the COVID-19 pandemic. The insignificant impact of the vaccination program on public discussion on social media indicated that public concerns regarding PEoLC continued to persist even after the vaccination efforts. Insights gleaned from public opinions regarding PEoLC could provide some clues for policy makers on how to ensure high-quality PEoLC during public health emergencies. In this post–COVID-19 era, PEoLC professionals may wish to continue to examine social media and learn from web-based public discussion how to ease the long-lasting trauma caused by this crisis and prepare for public health emergencies in the future. Besides, our results showed social media’s potential in acting as an effective tool to reflect public opinions in the context of PEoLC.

El objetivo de la investigación es mostrar la importancia de utilizar métodos de medición avanzada (AMA), para la cuantificación del Valor en Riesgo operacional (OpVaR), con el fin de robustecer los sistemas de administración del riesgo (SAR) en el sector de la salud aún en tiempos de pandemia como la Covid-19. A partir de un análisis de caso con información del 2019 y 2020, se presenta la implementación de dos métodos de medición avanzada; simulación Monte Carlo (SMC) y aproximación analítica de Böcker y Klüppelberg. Los resultados con SMC muestran que el Valor en Riesgo operacional para un nivel de confianza del 99.9%, está dado por COP 28 435 millones para el año 2019 y por COP 31 948 millones para el año 2020, mostrando un incremento del 12.36% en un año. Adicionalmente, se ilustra la aplicación de la aproximación de Böcker y Klüppelberg y se evidencia su sensibilidad ante cambios en los niveles de confianza y comportamientos de las severidades en la cola de la distribución. Las limitaciones son que los modelos propuestos para frecuencia y severidad son distribuciones de probabilidad clásica, La originalidad es que se considera el análisis en periodo de la Covid-19. Se concluye que el enfoque cuantitativo propuesto puede ser replicado como método interno AMA en cualquier entidad de salud a nivel mundial para fortalecer sus SAR y que además se podrían esperar incrementos del OpVaR para los próximos años dado que muchas pérdidas se materializan con rezagos de años

Authors: Gurrola Ríos Cesar , Morales Castro José Antonio
Published: August 2023

Se analiza la respuesta de la rentabilidad de empresas del sector de consumo frecuente de la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores ante la dinámica de su nivel de participación en la actividad económica en el periodo comprendido entre 1993T2 y 2020T4, contrastando la influencia de la pandemia COVID-19. Las estimaciones de modelos para datos en panel muestran que la dinámica de la actividad económica produjo cambios en la evolución de la rentabilidad de las empresas y que la pandemia si afectó significativamente esta relación. El periodo COVID-19 ocasionó disminuciones en las variaciones de las rentabilidades del capital accionario (ROE) y de los activos (ROA) y aumentos en las del margen de ganancia neta (MgN), el análisis demuestra que la sensibilidad del indicador del capital accionario fue el doble que la del ROA. Los resultados de nuestro análisis pudieran tener implicaciones importantes en las decisiones empresariales.

Nesta pesquisa exploramos uma série de processos de “entrega voluntária” - Lei nº 13.509/17- que tramitaram na comarca do Rio de Janeiro entre 2020 e 2022. Analisamos ações de destituição e extinção do poder familiar visando apreender como são construídas moralidades sobre reprodução, maternidades e feminilidades nas práticas de justiça voltadas à Infância e à Juventude. Apesar de termos encontrado documentos que dizem respeito às mulheres e seus parceiros, demos relevo às narrativas elaboradas sobre o universo feminino e suas marcações sociais. Nossa intenção foi compreender a gestão estatal desse tema que, apesar de amparado por uma neutralidade jurídica, se concretiza com base em distintas diferenciações das pessoas, de seus corpos e territórios.

Published: August 2023

Toma-se como objeto precípuo deste estudo um conjunto de vocábulos que podem ser considerados sinônimos/parassinônimos corradicais na família lexical românica de usura, ae, ou seja, aqueles sinônimos/parassinônimos que partilham a mesma base, mas divergem nos afixos ou operações morfológicas que os constituem. A comparação interlinguística se debruça sobre nove línguas do grupo românico – castelhano, catalão, francês, galego, italiano, occitano, português, romeno e sardo – e sobre o latim, em diferentes períodos de suas diacronias, com dados recolhidos através de repertórios lexicográficos gerais, etimológicos e históricos, além de corpora eletrônicos. A análise realizada elege como aporte teórico a Semântica de Frames (FILLMORE, 1982), considerando o enquadramento ou framing da cena evocada por cada lexia em seus contextos de uso como fator determinante nos sentidos que assume. Demonstra-se a vitalidade e a variedade de formas atuais e históricas, cujos padrões de variação e distribuição parecem se alinhar a divisões tradicionais da România.

In response to the implications of climate change, comprehending the
phenological variations of woody plants has emerged as a crucial area of
research. This study focuses on the phenological changes of woody plants
and their associations with climatic factors in the southern and
northern regions of Nanling Mountains, which serve as the boundary
between the North Subtropical Climate Zone and the South Subtropical
Climate Zone in South China. The data in question was accumulated
through long-term manual observations in four plant phenology
observations (Ganxian, Foshan, Guilin, and Changsha), spanning from 1963
to 2008. The study examined four widely distributed woody plant species
in the research area, namely Castanea mollissima Bl., Paulowinia
fortunei(seem.) Hemsl., Melia azedarace L., and Magnolia grandiflora
Linn.. The analytical methods employed encompass linear trend estimation
and Pearson correlation coefficient analyses. The key findings are: 1,
during the past 46 years, the phenological stages of woody plants on the
southern region consistently preceded those on the northern region; 2,
an advancing trend was observed in the phenological stages of all woody
plants on the southern region; 3, in the same geographic region, varied
species showed varying sensitivities to climatic factors, with Melia
azedarace L. demonstrating a particularly high sensitivity to climate
variations in relation to phenological stages; 4, different climatic
factors had diverse effects on individual plant species. Notably,
temperature emerged as the primary driver of phenological changes,
supported by a significant negative correlation between the phenological
stages of the studied plants and spring temperature. This study augments
our comprehension of the ramifications of climate change on plant
phenology and affords valuable insights that can inform ecological
conservation and management strategies within the region.

The complex interactions among soil, vegetation, and site hydrologic
conditions driven by precipitation and tidal cycles control
biogeochemical transformations and bi-directional exchange of carbon and
nutrients across the terrestrial-aquatic interfaces (TAIs) in the
coastal regions. This study uses a highly mechanistic model,
ATS-PFLOTRAN, to explore how these interactions impact the material
exchanges and carbon and nitrogen cycling along a TAI transect in the
Chesapeake Bay region that spans zones of open water, coastal wetland
and upland forest. Several simulation scenarios are designed to parse
the effects of the individual controlling factors and the sensitivity of
carbon cycling to reaction constants derived from laboratory
experiments. Our simulations revealed a hot zone for carbon cycling
under the coastal wetland and the transition zones between the wetland
and the upland. Evapotranspiration is found to enhance the exchange
fluxes between the surface and subsurface domains, resulting in higher
dissolved oxygen concentration in the TAI. The transport of organic
carbon decomposed from leaves provides additional source of organic
carbon for the aerobic respiration and denitrification processes in the
TAI, while the variability in reaction rates mediated by microbial
activities plays a dominant role in controlling the heterogeneity and
dynamics of the simulated redox conditions. This modeling-focused
exploratory study enabled us to better understand the complex
interactions of various system components at the TAIs that control the
hydro-biogeochemical processes, which is an important step towards
representing coastal ecosystems in larger-scale Earth system models.
Evaluating Streamflow Forecasts in Hydro-Dominated Power Systems--When and Why They Matter
Authors: Koh Rachel , Galelli Stefano
Published: August 2023

The value of seasonal streamflow forecasts for the hydropower industry
has long been assessed by considering metrics related to hydropower
availability. However, this approach overlooks the role played by
hydropower dams within the power grid, therefore providing a myopic view
of how forecasts could improve the operations of large-scale power
systems. With the aim of understanding how the value of streamflow
forecasts penetrates through the power grid, we developed a
coupled-water energy model that is subject to reservoir inflow forecasts
with different levels of accuracy. We implement the modelling framework
on a real-world case study based on the Cambodian grid, which relies on
hydropower, coal, oil, and imports from neighboring countries. In
particular, we evaluate the performance in terms of metrics selected
from both the reservoir and power systems, including available and
dispatched hydropower, power production costs, CO2 emissions, and
transmission line congestion. Through this framework, we demonstrate
that streamflow forecasts can positively impact the operations of
hydro-dominated power systems, especially during the transition from wet
to dry seasons. Moreover, we show that the value largely varies with the
specific metric of performance at hand as well as the level of
operational integration between water and power systems.
