The Possibility of an Impossible Ethics
Authors:   , Evans Will
Published: March 2024

Moral error is a sceptical position regarding morality, analogous to the atheist’s position on religion; according to a moral error theorist no moral judgements are ever true. Moral fictionalism is a response to the situation created by error theory; even if all statements about morality are false, we should nevertheless carry on with a make-believe, or fictional, moral discourse. Some of the arguments made in favour of moral error theory, specifically the argument from queerness, render morality impossible, rather than just contingently false. While this is not a problem for error theory in and of itself, it does pose an issue for fictionalism as a response to error theory: If morality is not possible, then there is good reason to believe that morality is not conceivable, not imaginable, and therefore not something that we can make-believe in. This may initially seem to be disastrous to the fictionalist's position; however, there is strong reason to believe that we can imagine the impossible, and thus fictionalism can be saved from the problem of an impossible morality. This does not return us to where we began, it allows for a fictionalism that also has an impossible content as well as form. This possibility of imagining an impossible morality allows fictionalism to be of much more use than any actual normative moral system.

Authors: Mouhi Hinde El , Abbassi Meriame , Jalte Meryem , Natiq Abdelhafid , Bouguenouch Laila , Chaouki Sana
Published: March 2024

Dravet syndrome (DS), previously known as severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy, is a severe epileptic syndrome affecting children, with an incidence of 1/22,000 to 1/49,900 live births annually. Characterized by resistant and prolonged seizures, it often leads to intellectual impairment, with males being twice as susceptible as females. Its clinical features include recurrent seizures triggered by fever initially, but later occurring spontaneously, developmental delays, behavioral issues, and movement disorders. Sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 1 (SCN1A) mutations, observed in about 90% of cases, are usually de novo, while mutations in other genes, such as protocadherin 19 (PCDH19), gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit gamma 2 (GABRG2), and sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 2 (SCN2A), can also contribute to the condition. Next-generation sequencing aids in identifying these genetic abnormalities. First-line treatments include anticonvulsant drugs such as valproate, clobazam, stiripentol, topiramate, and bromide. Second-line treatments for drug-resistant DS include stiripentol, fenfluramine, and cannabidiol. This literature review provides a comprehensive update on the genetic underpinnings of DS, highlighting SCN1A's predominant role and the emerging significance of other genes. Moreover, it emphasizes novel therapeutic approaches for drug-resistant forms, showcasing the efficacy of newer drugs such as stiripentol, fenfluramine, and cannabidiol. This synthesis contributes to our understanding of the genetic landscape of DS and informs clinicians about evolving treatment strategies for enhanced patient care.

Published: March 2024

Purpose: Electroencephalography (EEG) is useful for clarifying the association between cortical activity and cognitive processes in children. We investigated whether EEG abnormalities were correlated with developmental delay/intellectual disability (DD/ID) in the absence of clinical seizures. Methods: We retrospectively identified 166 children with DD/ID who underwent EEG at Pusan National University Hospital between January 2011 and December 2021. We compared clinical characteristics and test results between those with normal and those with abnormal EEGs. Additionally, we analyzed EEG abnormalities in relation to neurodevelopmental disorders, specifically autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Results: Of the 166 patients, 39 (23.5%) displayed abnormal EEGs, while 127 (76.5%) had normal EEGs. Of the former, 25 (64.1%) patients exhibited epileptiform discharges, including 22 (56.3%) with focal and three (7.7%) with generalized discharges. Focal discharges most frequently affected the central area (35.9%). Twenty patients (51.3%) exhibited rhythmic slowing patterns. Epilepsy diagnoses were significantly more common among patients with abnormal EEGs (n=8, 20.5%) than among those with normal EEGs (n=9, 7.1%) (P<0.001). Of 22 patients with ASD, five (12.8%) had abnormal EEGs. Of 13 patients with ADHD, five (36.4%) had abnormal EEGs, all with epileptiform discharges. Two patients with ASD and two with ADHD exhibited rhythmic slowing. Abnormal EEG findings were significantly more common among those with genetic abnormalities compared to genetically normal patients (26 vs. 13, P=0.017). Conclusion: EEG represents a potential screening tool for children with DD. Abnormal EEG findings are associated with increased epilepsy risk, informing diagnosis and treatment planning.

Ritter, Riese, Cyborg – mediävale Transformationen des Hybriden im computeranimierten Kurzfilm „Gdańsk“ (2017)
Authors: Abel Stefan
Published: March 2024

Der computeranimierte, seit Oktober 2021 über Netflix gestreamte Kurzfilm Gdańsk aus dem Jahr 2017 spielt historisch auf das ‚Blutbad von Danzig‘ (1308) an, in dem sich, nach seiner Lesart, ein Deutschordensriese an wehrlosen Menschen vergreift, und verbindet dieses historische Ereignis mit der in eine dystopische Zukunft versetzten Cyberpunk-Welt. In der filmischen Montage entsteht so ein plot, der Transformationen des Hybriden durchspielt und eine historische (und narrative) Kontinuität zwischen dem mittelalterlichen Ritter (Hybrid aus Mensch und Metall), dem mythischen Riesen (Hybrid aus Mensch und Monster) und dem futuristischen Cyborg (Hybrid aus Mensch und Maschine) konstruiert. Diese hybriden Wesen sind Geschöpfe der göttlichen bzw. menschlichen Schöpfung und besitzen, so schon die Vorstellung im Mittelalter, allesamt Zeichencharakter.

Rationalization, privatization and sustainability: debates and reforms involving management of the Lombard forests in the 18th century
Authors: Dattero Alessandra
Published: March 2024

This work examines the changes that took place in the management of forest commons in eighteenth-century Austrian Lombardy. During that period, fiscal and administrative reforms facilitated greater knowledge of the territory and the relationships between communities and wood merchants-entrepreneurs. Conflicting views arose when the Viennese government, aware that vast forest resources were being badly managed, took inspiration from modern theories of political economy and decided to privatize all forest commons. However, after careful research some enlightened Milanese officials began to consider mountain forests as part of a complex ecological system and question the environmental sustainability of the policies implemented.
Regional dissemination of NDM-1 producing Enterobacter hormaechei ST1740, with a subset of strains co-producing VIM-4 or IMP-13, France, 2019 to 2022
Authors: Rezzoug Inès , Emeraud Cécile , Rodriguez Christophe , Pawlotsky Jean-Michel , Bonnin Rémy A. , Dortet Laurent
Published: March 2024

Background

From 2019 to 2022, the French National Reference Centre for Antibiotic Resistance (NRC) received a total of 25 isolates of Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. hoffmannii sequence type (ST)1740. All produced metallo-β-lactamase(s) and were from the Lyon area.

Aim

To understand these strains’ spread and evolution, more extended microbiological and molecular analyses were conducted.

Methods

Patients’ demographics and specimen type related to isolates were retrieved. All strains underwent short-read whole genome sequencing, and for 15, long-read sequencing to understand carbapenemase-gene acquisition. Clonal relationships were inferred from core-genome single nt polymorphisms (SNPs). Plasmids and the close genetic environment of each carbapenemase-encoding gene were analysed.

Results

Patients (10 female/15 male) were on average 56.6 years old. Seven isolates were recovered from infections and 18 through screening. With ≤ 27 SNPs difference between each other’s genome sequences, the 25 strains represented a clone dissemination. All possessed a chromosome-encoded bla
NDM-1 gene inside a composite transposon flanked by two IS3000. While spreading, the clone independently acquired a bla
VIM-4-carrying plasmid of IncHI2 type (n = 12 isolates), or a bla
IMP-13-carrying plasmid of IncP-1 type (n = 1 isolate). Of the 12 isolates co-producing NDM-1 and VIM-4, seven harboured the colistin resistance gene mcr9.2; the remaining five likely lost this gene through excision.

Conclusion

This long-term outbreak was caused by a chromosome-encoded NDM-1-producing ST1740 E. hormaechei subsp. hoffmannii clone, which, during its dissemination, acquired plasmids encoding VIM-4 or IMP-13 metallo-β-lactamases. To our knowledge, IMP-13 has not prior been reported in Enterobacterales in France. Epidemiological and environmental investigations should be considered alongside microbiological and molecular ones.

Performance Comparison of Visual Transformer Based Models for Shoulder Implant Classification
Authors: BAYKAL KABLAN Elif , KABLAN Yavuz
Published: March 2024

Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) is a surgical procedure addressing severe pain and restricted shoulder joint movement. During TSA surgery, X-ray images guide the selection of the prosthetic implant suitable for the patient from a variety of models produced by different manufacturers. However, prostheses may wear or loosen over time, thus requiring periodic evaluation and replacement. Currently, the process involves taking new X-ray images from patients, resulting in variability in expert opinions on implant types. Automated systems can provide objective assessments, saving time and effort. In this study, we present a performance comparison of Vision Transformer (ViT) based models for automatic shoulder implant classification from X-ray images. Fine-tuning pre-trained ViT models on a shared dataset showed high success in accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and F-measure metrics. This approach can provide reliable identification of shoulder implant manufacturers and model information and time efficiency, especially for specialists, contributing to improving treatment planning.
Community-Based Strategies for Disaster Preparedness in Mauritius
Authors: Neerunjun Henna Helvina
Published: March 2024

Mauritius is Small Island Developing State (SIDS) of volcanic origin which lies in the South-West Indian Ocean Basin and is vulnerable to the consequences of global environmental challenges. The fourth priority action of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 is to consolidate disaster preparedness for an effective response and to have a Build Back Better agenda that will improve recovery, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. This research aimed at examining the disaster management system in Mauritius through community-based approaches. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Centre’s (NDRRMC) involvement with the community living in high-risk zones was investigated. This study used quantitative data gathered from secondary sources and included the number of field training simulation exercises, training of volunteers under the Community Disaster Response Programme (CDRP), awareness campaigns and formulation of contingency plans based on documentation across Mauritius. The NDRRMC identified 109 high-risk zones across Mauritius out of which 13.7 per cent benefitted from all four forms of mitigation activities. Results indicated that contingency plans in Mauritius were evidence-based and had been developed after identification of disaster risk in selected regions, and therefore, they were limited to some types of disasters only. Findings also revealed that flooding was the most common type of simulated disaster exercise undertaken. The greatest number of field simulation exercises was carried out in Poste de Flacq. Results also demonstrated that only 38.5% of the community were exposed to disaster-related awareness campaigns, making it the least common form of disaster risk reduction (DRR) activity in Mauritius.

Published: March 2024

Background: Healthy dietary behaviour is essential for adolescents to promote psychosocial development and cognitive performance and prevent nutrition-related chronic diseases. Yet, the prevalence of micronutrient malnutrition remains high among Nigerian adolescents.
Objective: To assess access to nutrition information, dietary diversity, and shortfall food groups among in-school adolescents in Mokola, Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria.
Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study involved 360 in-school adolescents selected using a multistage sampling technique. The data, which included sociodemographic characteristics, access to nutrition information and dietary intake, were obtained using a semi-structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire. Dietary intake was assessed using a 24-hour recall approach to determining dietary diversity using Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO)’s Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women procedure.
Results: The mean age of the respondents was 15.5±2.3 years, and 58.1% were females. Only 5.4% had access to information on healthy eating. The minimum dietary diversity score during the previous 24 hours was 5.41±1.3, and only 46.5% of the respondents met the minimum dietary diversity for women. Shortfall food groups included nuts and seeds (4.1%), dairy foods (6.1%), pulses (7.2%), fruits (10.3%), other vegetables (10.3%), and eggs (15.3%).
Conclusion: Poor access to nutrition information and low dietary diversity were observed among in-school adolescents in Mokola, Ibadan, Nigeria. Policymakers should strengthen the educational system to promote active learning of healthy eating and improve access to the varieties of foods and snacks made from the shortfall food groups.
Nexus between financial development, foreign direct investment, and renewable energy consumption: Evidence from SSA
Authors: Md. Qamruzzaman
Published: March 2024

This study examines the nexus between urbanization (UR), gross capital formation (GCF), trade openness (TO), and renewable energy consumption (REC) to understand their interplay and implications for renewable energy adoption. Analyzing the data reveals a negative correlation between UR, GCF, TO, and REC, highlighting challenges in promoting renewable energy amidst urbanization, capital formation, and global trade integration. Policy interventions are crucial to address barriers hindering renewable energy uptake. Recommendations include incentivizing foreign direct investment, enhancing technology transfer, incentivizing clean energy investments, and promoting financial literacy. Integrated urban planning and alignment of capital formation policies with renewable energy goals are essential strategies to accelerate renewable energy adoption. This study offers valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to promote renewable energy development and sustainability.

Implementation of leadership style to improve the quality of health services in hospitals: Literature review
Authors: Sabrina Salsabila
Published: March 2024

Hospitals are health care institutions or agencies that organize comprehensive individual health services by providing inpatient, outpatient, and emergency services. The organization of the hospital is expected to provide affordable, quality health services, and optimal results to obtain high quality health service results. Achieving good hospital service quality can be achieved through good team performance as well. In the preparation of good team performance, it is necessary to choose the right leadership style in an organization. The organization in achieving its goals requires the function and role of the leader. The purpose of this study was to identify the implementation of leadership styles that can improve the quality of health services in hospitals. The method of research in this study is a qualitative research design with a literature study. Articles were searched through three data sources, namely PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using the keywords "leadership style" AND "hospital quality". The articles used were published in the last five years, from 2019 to 2023. The study was limited to quantitative and qualitative research methods, but there were no restrictions on specific regions or countries. The results of the study found that the leadership style used can improve the quality of health services in hospitals. The quality of human resource performance is one of the main factors in improving the quality of service in hospitals. There are many leadership styles implemented in hospitals, including democratic, transformational, transactional, authentic, and directive leadership styles. The application of leadership styles must be adjusted to the conditions of the team members.
COMPARISON OF APARCH-TYPE MODELS: DOES THE CONTINUOUS AND JUMP COMPONENTS OF REALIZED VOLATILITY IMPROVE THE FITTING?
Authors: Nugroho Didit B. , Urosidin Nur I. M. , Parhusip Hanna A.
Published: March 2024

This study aims to extend an APARCH-X(1,1) model to the APARCH-CJ(1,1) by separating the exogenous variable X into two components: continuous and discontinuous (jump). The study was based on the application of models to 1-min intraday high-frequency data from the Tokyo Stock Price Index from 2004 to 2011, where its dependent variable is daily return and its exogenous variability is Realized Volatility. As a basic framework, the return errors follow a Normal distribution. An Adaptive Random Walk Metropolis (ARWM) method was constructed in the Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm to estimate model parameters so that the model fits the observed return time series. By visual inspection, the parameter trace plots showed good convergence of the Markov chains, indicating that the ARWM method is efficient in estimating the studied models. Based on the results of the Akaike Information Criterion for model fitting to data, this study found that APARCH-CJ(1,1) is inferior to APARCH(1,1).

Published: March 2024

Poverty factors are multidimensional and complex. Currently, to predict the number of people living below the poverty line using the concept of linear thinking. It is necessary to study the causal relationships among poverty factors in form of a system dynamics model. This study aims to predict the poverty rate people in “The Golden Indonesia” 2030 using poverty macro models. The data used are time series data from 2009 to 2018 at the national level (Indonesia), and data sources from the BPS Statistics-Indonesia, and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia. The research method uses a system dynamics model, where the system of thinking is created based on the two-stage least square (2SLS) simultaneous equation model. The 2SLS simultaneous equation model testing results show that there are three significant simultaneous equations, including poverty, economic growth, and human development index. Furthermore, the three simultaneous equations show a causal loop diagram (CLD) in a system dynamics model. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is 2.34%, meaning that the macro poverty model is valid. The scenario formats for prediction include “optimistic” for economic growth and the “moderate” for human development index (HDI), total population, unemployment, and environmental quality index variables. The predicted percentage number of poor people in 2030 is 4.12%, a positive deviation of 0.12% from the government’s target of 4%. All parties need to work hard and together for the “optimistic” scenario to be implemented, which is to raise Indonesia’s economic growth to 7.4%. This study assumes that there is no Covid-19 problem and only predicts 10 years due to limited data used in 2010-2018. The novelty of this study is the alignment of the prediction results between the system dynamics and the simultaneous equation models. In general, the system dynamics model is valid and could answer the complexity of a phenomenon to predict poverty.

Published: March 2024

Covid-19 is a serious respiratory disease that can be fatal for those affected. Governments have tried various strategies to conquer the Covid-19 pandemic. One of them is to vaccinate people with 6 years old and over. The vaccination program aims to form herd immunity so that the number of confirmed positive cases can be reduced. The purpose of this research is to form a mathematical model of the SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Recovery) spread of Covid-19 by considering vaccination factors. The SIR model is combined with a vaccination factor to forestall the unfold of Covid-19. The research method includes deriving models of nonlinear differential equation systems, solving qualitative models, deriving the basic reproduction ratio ( ), analysis of equilibrium points, and building simulation models. This model has an asymptotically stable disease-free equilibrium point. At the same time, the endemic equilibrium point is unstable. Model simulation is obtained by using different parameter values. This is proven through the outcomes of the model analysis vaccination coverage is a key parameter that can be controlled to reduce  so that the pandemic ends soon.
A BI-OBJECTIVE COST MINIMIZATION MODEL FOR THE INSULAR TOUR ROUTE PLANNING PROBLEM
Authors: Afifudin Mohammad Thezar , Muspida Muspida , Sahar Dian Pratiwi
Published: March 2024

This article presents a study on the development of a bi-objective cost problem optimization model in planning tourist routes in the island zone. This problem is a new variant of the tour route plan problem. Bi-objective view of two cost components, namely maritime transportation costs and ground transportation costs. Two models were formulated using a mixed integer linear programming approach. The first model was designed to minimize one of the two cost components separately.  The second model was bi-objective cost minimization based on the priority weights of the two costs. It was designed to determine minimum transportation costs based on priority weights. Model testing was carried out through numerical experiments on several cases that often occur in industries in Maluku, Indonesia, especially tourism and goods shipping. Each case has variations in the number of islands and nodes. As a result, the model can demonstrate its adaptability to changes in objectives and parameters. For cases that do not have a single solution, an increase in the network structure on the number of islands and nodes will increase the variety of efficient alternative solutions. The set of efficient solutions also shows an inverse relationship between MTC and GTC. The results also show that MTC minimization cannot be used as a reference for TC minimization in cases with many nodes and islands. Efforts to minimize MTC in the island zone impact reducing total costs but do not mean minimizing total costs. In addition, based on the exponential trend line of computing time, the number of nodes has a more significant influence on computing time compared to the number of islands.

A properly even harmonious labeling of a graph G with q edges is an injective mapping  f from the vertices of graph G to the integers from 0 to 2q-1 such that induces a bijective mapping f* from the edges of  G to {0,2,...,2q-2} defined by f*(v_iv_j)=(f(v_i)+f(v_j))(mod2q). A graph that has a properly even harmonious labeling is called a properly even harmonious graph. In this research, we will show the existence of a properly even harmonious labeling of some wheel graph  W_n for n  is even.

Authors: Sukardi Aris , Hasan Busri  , Moh. Badrih
Published: March 2024

Penelitian ini membahas tentang penggunaan enklitik dalam bahasa Makassar sebagai penanda aspek dalam kalimat. Enklitik adalah elemen linguistik yang memiliki peran penting dalam menyampaikan informasi tentang durasi, kesudahan, atau kelanjutan suatu tindakan dalam kalimat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan mengumpulkan data dari bahasa Makassar, terutama kalimat-kalimat yang menggunakan enklitik sebagai penanda aspek. Hasil penelitian tersebut menyimpulkan bahwa dalam bahasa Makassar, enklitik memiliki peran khusus sebagai penanda aspek dalam kalimat. Ketika frasa verba diberi enklitik -mi frasa tersebut menandakan aspek duratif (sedang berlangsung), ketika diberi enklitik -ji frasa tersebut tidak memiliki penanda aspek, dan ketika diberi enklitik -pi frasa tersebut menandakan aspek futuristik (akan terjadi di masa depan). Ketika enklitik digabungkan dengan frasa nomina, frasa tersebut tidak memiliki penanda aspek jika diberi enklitik –mi atau -ji tetapi memiliki penanda aspek futuristik jika diberi enklitik –pi. Sementara itu, pada frasa adjektiva, jika diberi enklitik -mi frasa tersebut menandakan aspek perfektif (telah selesai), jika diberi enklitik -ji frasa tersebut tidak memiliki penanda aspek, dan jika diberi enklitik -pi frasa tersebut menandakan aspek futuristik. Penelitian ini memberikan pemahaman yang mendalam tentang peran enklitik dalam bahasa Makassar sebagai penanda aspek, serta memperkaya pengetahuan dalam bidang linguistik. Penggunaan enklitik dengan penanda aspek yang berbeda memberikan nuansa khusus dalam berkomunikasi dalam bahasa tersebut
