The Living Witness as a Wanderer Throughout the Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union and in the Post-Soviet Era Komitas String Quartet – 100
Authors: Mirzoyan Gayane
Published: December 2024

Established in 1924 at the initiative of four students of Armenian descent at Moscow Conservatory, Komitas String Quartet is one of the oldest chamber ensembles. All the founding members of the ensemble were born and raised outside of Armenia, meaning they originate from Armenian families in the Diaspora. In spite of this, they identify with the Armenian cultural heritage. The strong sense of identity was crucial for the significance of music in the contexts of the Diaspora to establish the string quartet with the exceptional students of Armenian descent, who identified with the musical heritage of Komitas.
Մոսկվայի կոնսերվատորիայի հայազգի չորս ուսանողների նախաձեռնությամբ 1924 թվականին ստեղծված Կոմիտասի անվան լարային քառյակը ամենահին կամերային անսամբլներից է։ Համույթի բոլոր հիմնադիրները ծնվել և մեծացել են Հայաստանից դուրս, այսինքն՝ սերում են սփյուռքի հայ ընտանիքներից: Չնայած դրան, նրանք իրենց նույնացնում են հայկական մշակութային ժառանգության հետ։ Ինքնության ուժեղ զգացումը չափազանց կարևոր էր սփյուռքի մշակութային համատեքստում հատկապես պրոֆեսիոնալ երաժշտության ասպարեզում, ինչը թույլ տվեց ստեղծել լարային քառյակ՝ հայկական ծագումով նշանավոր ուսանողների ուժերով, որոնք իրենց նույնացնում էին Կոմիտասի երաժշտական ժառանգության հետ:
Струнный квартет имени Комитаса, созданный в 1924 году по инициативе четырех студентов армянского происхождения Московской консерватории, является одним из старейших камерных ансамблей. Все основатели ансамбля родились и выросли за пределами Армении, то есть они происходят из армянских семей в диаспоре. Несмотря на это, они отождествляют себя с армянским культурным наследием. Сильное чувство идентичности имело решающее значение для значимости музыки в контексте культуры диаспоры, что позволило создать струнный квартет с выдающимися студентами армянского происхождения, которые отождествляли себя с музыкальным наследием Комитаса.

Summary

This article discusses the case of a patient who needed to relieve the pressure of hemodialysis treatment and live with a positive attitude with his colorectal cancer. During the period of 1 March 2020 to 30 April 2020, data was collected through observation, interview, listening, physical assessment, medical record inquiry, and physical examination, and a four-level holistic approach was carried out at the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual level. It was assessed that the main health problems were excess fluid volume/related to excessive fluid intake and dysfunction of renal regulation, anxiety related to fear of fistula puncture pain, and hopelessness related to physical illness. We aim to increase knowledge about fluid control in the care process, correct misconceptions about fluid requirements, provide holistic care and appropriate dialysis care measures to reduce pain and anxiety, and use caring, listening, empathy, encouragement, and supportive communication skills to help patients face treatment with a positive attitude, improve feelings of hopelessness, and reduce depression and grief by providing psychological and spiritual comfort. We hope that this nursing experience will provide nursing staff with the opportunity to bring out the uniqueness and professional autonomy in caring for similar cases and to develop more appropriate care measures to improve the quality of care.

Authors: Guzmán Pinto Rosa Alexandra , López Vaca Wilman Luis
Published: December 2024

El desarrollo de la motricidad fina en el nivel inicial es fundamental para adquirir habilidades de escritura adecuadas. El propósito de esta investigación fue diagnosticar la influencia de la motricidad fina para el desarrollo de la preescritura, misma que fue realizada a 55 estudiantes de Educación Inicial, subnivel 2 de la Unidad Educativa del Milenio “Jatun Kuraka Otavalo”.  Para analizar las variables del estudio, se aplicaron test y una ficha de observación de la motricidad gráfica. Asimismo, se estableció el grado de correlación entre las variables para poder comprobar cómo la motricidad fina influye en el proceso de la preescritura. Se utilizó la metodología basada en la observación directa de la muestra y sus resultados se analizaron a través de procedimientos descriptivos y correlacionales. Los resultados obtenidos determinan que de los 55 niños a los que se les aplicó el subtest solamente 20 pudieron enhebrar la aguja y 23 dibujar 9 o más partes del cuerpo, lo que indica que existen problemas de motricidad fina. Del análisis correlacional se establece que la variable de motricidad fina correlaciona en su mayor parte con las variables de la preescritura.

Authors: Güner Tevhide Elif , Tavşanlı Hakan
Published: December 2024

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microbiological quality of meatball samples collected from establishments employing different pricing strategies. Materials and Methods: Samples were obtained from low-priced establishments (Business I) and high-priced establishments (Business II) and were analyzed for total aerobic mesophilic bacteria (TAMB), yeasts and molds, coliform bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes. Results: Both groups of samples complied with Turkish Food Codex standards for TAMB and S. aureus, while yeast and mold count in Business I samples exceeded the permissible limits. Salmonella spp. was detected in 3.3% of the samples from Business I and 6.6% from Business II, whereas L. monocytogenes was not detected in any of the samples. Conclusion: The study findings showed that there was no significant difference in microbiological quality between the two groups, except for yeast and mold counts. It was also concluded that there was no direct relationship between product price and hygienic quality.
Keywords: Food pricing strategies, Hygienic quality, Meatball, Microbiological quality
Aplicabilidad de la escala de depresión geriátrica de Yesavage en consulta de morbilidad por internos de medicina en el CESFAM Llay Llay
Authors: Iturriaga RI , Laso JI , Maass MJ
Published: December 2024

El paciente geriátrico constituye un desafío para el médico en cuanto que suele tener presentaciones atípicas de patologías frecuentes, sobre todo para el médico de atención primaria, quien además dispone de escaso tiempo para cada consulta. Por esto en nuestro país se proponen estrategias de detección precoz, destacando el uso de la escala de depresión geriátrica Yesavage, versión abreviada. Esta tiene utilidad demostrada como herramienta de screening, sin embargo, debido a que los centros de atención primaria disponen sus recursos en base a metas poblacionales, muchas veces su aplicación sería insuficiente. Por esta razón decidimos investigar la aplicabilidad de la escala mencionada en un contexto y evaluador distintos a la instancia destinada para este fin: la consulta de morbilidad, por internos de Medicina en el Centro de Salud Familiar de Llay Llay, junto con un análisis de la postura del equipo de salud respecto a la aplicación de la escala en el contexto descrito. Encontramos hasta un 43% de pacientes con riesgo de depresión y una postura favorable del equipo de salud. Es por esto que proponemos la aplicación de la escala fuera del contexto habitual por internos de medicina a luz de las ventajas y limitaciones que describimos.
Evaluación de adherencia a un programa de vacunación contra virus de hepatitis B (VHB) en pacientes infectados con virus de inmunudeficiencia humana (VIH) y factores asociados
Authors: Acuña P. , Peirano F. , Cornejo F. , Acuña M. , Provoste F. , Bustos V.
Published: December 2024

Introducción: Los pacientes VIH (+) no responden bien a la vacuna contra el VHB. El óptimo cumplimiento del esquema de vacunación es esencial para alcanzar la seroprotección, en ellos, la falta de adherencia es un factor relevante.
Objetivos: Determinar la adherencia a un programa de vacunación contra VHB en individuos VIH (+) y evaluar los factores asociados.
Materiales y Método: Estudio prospectivo de evaluación de adherencia a programa de vacunación con esquema estándar para VHB en pacientes VIH (+), durante el 2012 y 2013. Se analizaron variables epidemiológicas, clínicas, de laboratorio y del VIH. Análisis multivariado de adherencia y factores asociados, p < 0,05 para diferencias significativas.
Resultados: De 248 pacientes citados para primera dosis de vacuna, 58 (23,4%) no asistieron. Los asistentes (76.6%) a primera dosis, cumplieron en 96,1% la segunda dosis, y en 95,8% la tercera dosis. En el análisis de Inasistentes vs. Asistentes a la primera dosis, observamos que los inasistentes eran de menor edad (39,3 vs. 43,54 años, p = 0,005), nivel educacional superior (48,2% vs. 32,3%, p = 0,02), mayor consumo de drogas (27,6% vs. 9,66%, p = 0,027), y mayor abandono de controles en programa VIH (32,8% vs 17,9%, p = 0,02).
Discusión: La adherencia inicial del programa de vacunación fue buena, asociándose a un alto cumplimiento global del esquema. Los factores asociados a la inasistencia fueron menor edad, mayor nivel educacional, consumo de drogas, y abandono previo del programa VIH. Considerar estos factores podría optimizar la adherencia en futuros programas de vacunación.
Abscesos renales en varón de 18 años sin comorbilidades
Authors: Umaña Juan , Guíñez Víctor , Licanqueo Javier , Calderón Raúl , Aguilar Miguel
Published: December 2024

Introducción: Los abscesos renales típicamente ocurren en el contexto de una pielonefritis, particularmente en pacientes con anormalidades anatómicas. Habitualmente se presentan en pacientes inmunocomprometidos.
Caso Clínico: Paciente de 18 años sin antecedentes mórbidos conocidos consulta por cuadro de 3 días de evolución de dolor abdominal; el día de la consulta se agrega sensación febril, calofríos, disuria, polaquiuria y hematuria; se realizan exámenes donde se constata sedimento urinario sugerente de infección urinaria y elevación de parámetros inflamatorios. Se inicia ceftriaxona. Evoluciona tórpidamente, se conecta a ventilación mecánica, se realizan exámenes que muestran parámetros concordantes con shock distributivo. Se inicia terapia antibiótica con Imipenem. Se complementa estudio con pesquisa de virus de inmunodeficiencia humana virus hepatitis B y virus hepatitis C, todos negativos. Se mantiene terapia antibiótica con excelente respuesta. Se realiza tomografía computada de abdomen-pelvis con contraste que muestra imagen compatible con absceso renal izquierdo. Dada evaluación favorable, se mantiene terapia antibiótica y control imagenológico.
Discusión: El cuadro clínico de un absceso renal es inespecífico y aparenta una pielonefritis aguda con evolución tórpida; en este caso hubo mala respuesta a ceftriaxona, por lo que se complementó con imágenes; una tomografía computada con contraste es el mejor examen para identificación de abscesos renales. La terapia antibiótica se continúa al menos 2 a 3 semanas, aunque debe adaptarse al estado del paciente, exámenes de laboratorio y resolución del absceso. La indicación para drenaje del absceso renal depende en gran parte del tamaño de éste; el drenaje percutáneo es preferido generalmente por la menor morbilidad comparado con el drenaje quirúrgico.

Los rayos UVC, una solución práctica y segura para la desinfección de mascarillas N95, que permiten su reutilización durante la pandemia por SARS-Cov2
Authors: Aguilera Correa Ximena Andrea
Published: December 2024

Introducción: La pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 ha llevado a la necesidad de reutilizar mascarillas N95, esenciales en la protección de profesionales de la salud en la atención durante procedimientos generadores de aerosoles y análisis de laboratorio de muestras respiratorias de pacientes infectados por COVID-19.
Objetivos: El objetivo de esta revisión fue conocer la efectividad de la desinfección con rayos Ultravioleta tipo C (UVC) de las mascarillas N°95 infectadas con SARS-CoV-2, considerando su capacidad germicida y sus efectos sobre el material, y dilucidar qué características debería tener un prototipo de máquina desinfectante mediante rayos UVC que permita la reutilización de las mascarillas.
Metodología: Se buscaron en Pub-Med las palabras claves y se revisaron aquellos artículos de los últimos 5 años. Se seleccionaron aquellos que abordaban la capacidad germicida de los rayos UVC, así como de la distancia, e intensidad de la radiación efectiva para lograr una desinfección, y de sus efectos sobre el material de las mascarillas N°95.
Desarrollo: Los rayos UVC tienen una capacidad germicida del 99,9% de los microorganismos, siendo lábil toda la familia de coronavirus. La efectividad de la desinfección varía dependiendo de la distancia de la fuente de luz y del tiempo de exposición a esta.
Conclusión: Un prototipo de máquina que emite luz UVC para la desinfección de mascarillas N°95 es una alternativa viable y segura para la reutilización de estas hasta 5 veces.
Caracterización clínica de pacientes pediátricos que se enfermaron por COVID-19 durante la pandemia del 2020
Authors: Silva Joaquín , González Lucas
Published: December 2024

Introducción: La población adulta es la más prevalente y mortalmente afectada por la pandemia de COVID-19, provocando que la experiencia adquirida de ellos fuese extrapolada a niños. Con el tiempo aumenta la evidencia que los niños además de padecer manifestaciones respiratorias similares a la de adultos (en menor prevalencia), algunos desarrollan presentaciones de múltiples sistemas, conllevando a enfermedades más graves.
Metodología: Búsqueda de artículos en las plataformas PubMed y Google Scholar con palabras claves como: “covid-19; pediatric; children; diagnosis; severity; wuhan; fever; cough; signs and symptoms MESH TERMS”, adicionalmente a esta se encontraron 32 artículos. Seleccionando artículos en humanos, que presentasen registros de la sintomatología y diagnóstico de los casos clínicos, estudios que comparasen ambas poblaciones y recomendaciones sobre el manejo de estas. Además se confeccionaron figuras tras recolectar datos, se calcularon porcentajes respecto al total de individuos analizados y se representaron en gráficas estadísticas.
Resultados: La información revisada concuerda en la menor prevalencia y menor gravedad es en pacientes pediátricos, pero paulatinamente aparece evidencia de nuevas manifestaciones no solo de la esfera respiratoria, asociadas a cuadros inflamatorios más graves como síndrome de Kawasaki, sepsis y síndrome de inflamación multisistémica.
Conclusión: Considerar sólo los hallazgos clínicos en población pediátrica oligosintomática puede conllevar a posibles dificultades para formular diagnósticos y determinar la gravedad en niños, sobre todo en menores de 5 años y aquellos con comorbilidades y factores de riesgo. Además, hay diferencias fisiopatológicas y del sistema inmune entre adultos y niños que requieren ser estudiadas a cabalidad.
Viešoji kultūros, vartojimo ar kultūringo vartojimo erdvė? Vilniaus atvejis
Authors: Trilupaitytė Skaidra
Published: December 2024

Competing postindustrial cities seek to attract larger numbers of visitors and residents by proposing “more culture” in order to significantly expand service sectors
and increase revenue to city budgets. The new formulas of city revival through cultural consumption are introduced over the world; such desperation has also been reinforced in Lithuanian capital by symbolic anniversaries and events: in 2009 Vilnius
enjoyed the “European Capital of Culture” (ECOC) title, and the country celebrated its
Millennium by commemorating the alleged “discovery” of Lithuania (its first mentioning in historical sources in 1009). Yet this event didn’t prove to have any significance
for the urban regeneration processes since all the promises for the city renewal and
establishment of buzzing cultural centers in specific post-Soviet derelict places were
not kept. The same goes with promises “to waken” the city with help of “cathedrals of
consumption”. The consumption in public places and “consumed city” is analyzed in
the article through the specific public spaces – the shopping center and the street of
shopping and entertainment in Vilnius. Here the Vilnius examples suggest important
case material for a broader discussion of neo-liberal cultural planning, especially with
regard to cities of so-called New Europe.
Kultūrinės tapatybės: moterys ir vyrai (dabartis ir paveldas)
Authors: Repšienė Rita
Published: December 2024

The present is disclosing the stability of inherited mental structures when closely observing the developement of identities of women and men. With the focus on dominant sexual expressions the advantages of the present consist freedom of choice and
priorities. Assessements pretending to objectivity open a complex and fatal situation
which is making a direct impact on national identity and urge to speak about unavoidable longterm consequences. Heritage being an unseparable part of identity may
become a rescue and at the same time a aggravating condition in efforts to reach positive transformations, especially in the habitat of patriarchal culture. The aim of this
publication is to evaluate the situation, to put together the main values and to look
for problem resolution if even it is impossible. From the point of view of the contemporary research field the identity of women is limiting itself from the role formed
by heritage and limitations put by social destination. It is crossing the limits drawn
by national self-consciousness and taking advantage of the opportunities proposed by
the globalization. Trauma experineces, desperation deepening for hundred years, unhinged attitude – this is the male sex today after having lost its initiational challenges
and becoming a hostage of its own tearfulness.
Kūrybinė įsivaizduojamų bendruomenių funkcija
Authors: Juknevičius Stanislovas
Published: December 2024

Imagined community in the article is treated as a group of people creating, disseminating and supporting the same structures of imagination. The creative function
of imagined communities is expressed in threefold way. Firstly, imagined communities create, improve and support imagined worlds. Various imagined societies use
different materials for creation of imagined worlds. Scientific societies create rational
worldview and search for data supporting or denying it in sensory perception; origins
of social policy contain feelings; philosphical communities form rational or sensual
world perception with determinative subconscious structures. Artistic communities
mostly use sensory material and feelings, religious creation is dominated by faith.
The second aspect of imagined communities’ creative function – formation of language used in this community. Scientific language form concepts and terms; it signifies,
categorizes and systematizes processes taking place in sensory world. In social life,
language serves to express insights evoked by feelings. In philosophy, the conceptual apparatus on the one hand is expressing and on the other hand, it is forming
subconsciousness. For art, language serves only as means to objectify aesthetically
meangingful ideas gathering in the subconscious. In religion, language structures
subonsciousness and thus spreads it for sensual perception.
The third aspect of creative function – formation of a collective experience. Individual
experience presents itself as a reflection of imagined worlds in particular psyche. This
reflection can be very diverse, starting with insights of God’s signs in beingness and
ending by complete filling of psyche with feelings and meanings encoded by an artist,
say, during a musical concert; but in any case imagined communities seek to make
somebody’s sometime experienced feelings, rational schemes or specific worldview
accessible to all community members. By seeking this goal various communities use
different methods. In case an imagined community wants to spread aesthetical experience it cultivates aesthetical upbringing, in case it cares about religious experience – it undertakes pastoral activity and so on. Acting in unison, various nation
making up communities form a collective experience characteristic of that nation and
imagination structures determining that experience.
Dainų šventė – lietuvybei tvirtinti ir palaikyti
Authors: Rubavičius Vytautas
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the significance of maintaining, strengthening and spreading
Lithuanianness though Lithuanian Song Celebration. The Song Celebration is interpreted as an important cultural "tool", which plays an important role in reasons for
cohabitation. This approach justifies an initial goal of culture – to maintain and foster community identity and its rooting in a particular living place. Celebrations and
rituals remain important factors in fostering social relationships, community identity,
and sensibility to the issue of place and homeland. The communal singing in their
native language keeps certain ritual structures and effectively strengthens the sense
of community belonging. Religious meanings, symbols and values of a community,
its worldview and attitudes are conveyed though celebrations, and participants and
spectators are involved in the overall process. The meaning of celebration changes
according to the historical context. Three stages stand out in the history of Lithuanian
song celebrations – the interwar period, the Soviet period and the period of the restored independence. The author aims to demonstrate that all stages share the same
cultural purpose – to foster Lithuanianness and Lithuanian culture, to strengthen the
rooting of Lithuanians in native land, to cherish the ethno-cultural memory and traditions, and to maintain Lithuanian communion feelings. The article deals with the
circumstances leading to the establishment of Lithuanian Song Celebration’s, its significance in the Soviet era and after the restitution of the independence. During Soviet times the occupation government was trying to use the so-called folk celebration
for its own ideological goals, the most important of which was to create a new Soviet citizens. Therefore, particular existential expediency and meaningfulness of the
celebration revealed itself – to maintain and strengthen Lithuanian identity. The article debates the challenges festival and celebration are facing today, when we observe
the processes of the commodification of global culture, the festivalisation of culture
and the development of tourism industry. It discusses some of the traits of the national culture policy in the European Union, identifying new research fields.
Apie kultūros vertybes, prioritetus ir naujus iššūkius: Dainų šventė

Published: December 2024

Following the publication of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Convention
in 2003, and its entry into force in 2006, as an intangible cultural property was
added Song celebration tradition and symbolism in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The
tradition of Song festivals inspired by protestant cultures have become an integral
part of the Baltic lands identity. Created to testify the diversity of heritage, national
history, making efforts to modernize cultural practice, passed on from generation to
generation, it keeps the positive, immediate, uniting and mobilizing possibilities of
survival. Declaring national identity and creativity the Song and Dance Celebration
of the Baltic countries reflects patriotic and historical barriers, ideological conformism, and cultural maturity. What is the common reality of Song and Dance Celebration
as a national cultural priority in all three Baltic States? The program, participants, developed tradition, creative, ideological and artistic value, relationship with the media,
the role of innovation in television broadcasts and online communication – this is just
a small part of actualities related to the celebration that require attention, evaluation
and reflection.

Eventhough Song and Dance Celebration is one of the biggest and the most massive
cultural events in Lithuania, the importance of which is recognized both at domestic
and global level, one has to admit that it receives undeservedly low focus of social
and cultural researchers. Therefore soon after the closing of the last Song and Dance
Celebration a pilot representative public opinion survey was carried out aimed at
evaluating the fiest‘s potential of socio-cultural integration, the prevailing it‘s concept,
public envolvement in the events of the fiest and their evaluation. These data allow
to evaluate the prospects of the continuity of Lithuanian Song and Dance Celebration
with respect to public attitudes as well as the viability of the fiest among different
demographic groups.
Dokumentinis kinas ir etika: vaikas ekrane (Audrius Stonys „Viena“)
Authors: Beinoriūtė Giedrė
Published: December 2024

“The film brought me up to an ethical issue,” writes Audrius Stonys on his website
introducing the documentary ‘Alone’ (2001)33. The director had already made nine
documentaries (the first of which, ‘Opening the Door for the One Who Is Coming’ being created over a decade ago), yet only the tenth one, according to its author, brought
him up to an ethical issue, which is stated in the first sentence of its annotation. Presumably, this is because of the child appearing on screen, namely, the six-year-old
character of the film Sigita. This article focuses on ethical issues related to capturing
children on screen, and possible ways of solving the ethical problems. The documentary ‘Alone’ by Stonys serves as an example and a subject of consideration; the author
employs the deconstructive approach and method of comparative analysis, evaluating
the reception of this documentary both in Lithuania and abroad.
Kultūrų sąveika ir konfliktai: metodologiniai analizės aspektai
Authors: Juknevičius Stanislovas
Published: December 2024

The article analyses the methodological aspects of the relationship between the West and Islam as well as between supporters and opponents of globalisation. It presumes that the processes taking place in the collective unconscious play an important role in cultural interactions and conflict. If the lives of individuals are shaped by their conscious efforts or the specifics of the individual unconscious, the evolution of nations, cultures and civilisations is influenced and frequently determined by certain autonomous mental combinations contained in the collective unconscious (i.e. collective complexes). Sometimes these complexes coexist amicably, supplement or support each other. Sometimes a vicious conflict between them or fight to the death occurs. Social or political conflict is the reflection or, more specifically, the result of such conflict. In the article, the conflict between the West and Islam is treated as a conflict between traditional and modern cultures. In the view of modern cultural apologists, traditional cultures are intolerant and backward while modern Western culture is being degraded.The existing differences between these cultures have mainly been determined by the historical and psychological features of their formation. In Islamic religion and culture, the fundamental structures of the unconscious were shaped by faith while in modern Western culture the main contributor was the reason. Other important aspects of the expression of the collective unconscious are the complexes of globalisation and nationalism. In some European countries, a rapidly consolidating globalisation complex superseded or replaced the specific national structures of the unconscious and their residents tend to happily accept European integration or, at least, obediently acquiesce to it. The situation in Lithuania is different. Firstly, the spirit of resistance nurtured over hundreds of years and hardened in labour camps and in exile over the decades is still very much alive. Secondly, the Lithuanian national complex will disappear before it has fully formed. And this is where the zest, passion and even fierceness of people influenced by it stems from.
Draminė teorijos ir praktikos vienovė Vydūno filosofijoje
Authors: Kardelis Naglis
Published: December 2024

In the article, drawing on the Aristotelian distinction between theoretical and practical philosophy, an attempt is made to show the originality of Vydūnas’ philosophical approach. This originality, in the author’s opinion, stems from the fact that philosophical theory - both as a result of thought and as a process of theoretical viewing in the sense of the Greek word theoria, that is, in the sense of viewing of both visible and intelligible sights - is transferred by Vydūnas to the level of drama and imbued with the power of dramatic action. Vydūnas, as if rejecting the sharp Aristotelian distinction between theoretical and practical philosophy, developed his own philosophical theory not only as textually presented in his numerous theoretical treatises, but also as dramatically enacted in his plays. He was convinced that philosophical theory should be practiced, cultivated practically, instead of being hermetically developed in the abstract. In the philosophical and literary works of Vydūnas, drama emerged as a medium that helped to link the theoretical and practical regimes of philosophical thinking as never before in the course of Western philosophy, with the only exception of Platonic dialogues: Vydūnas not only came to prominence as an author of plays replete with philosophical ideas, but also - like Plato long before him - practiced his philosophical theory as a drama of thought, thus achieving in his works a spectacular unity of theory and practice.This circumstance reveals the necessity to view the philosophical and dramatic legacy of Vydūnas as an organic whole, noticing the dramatic elements in his philosophy and the philosophical elements in his plays. Leaving aside the concrete philosophical content (which, of course, is also very interesting and important) of Vydūnas’ philosophy and having in mind only the unique originality of his approach in terms of philosophical form, we should regard him as one of the most talented Lithuanian philosophers. Though some contemporary philosophers, drawing attention to the syncretic character of Vydūnas philosophy in terms of content, do not consider him as a true philosopher, the formal novelty of Vydūnas’ philosophical and literary creations is, in the author’s opinion, quite sufficient to view such doubts of Vydūnas’ philosophical originality as utterly baseless. Keywords: Vydūnas, Aristotle, Plato, theory, practice.

Mülûkü’t-tavâif dönemi, Endülüs'te bilim, felsefe, edebiyat ve sanat alanlarında önemli ilerlemelerin yaşandığı, kültürel ve entelektüel bir canlanma dönemi olarak öne çıkar. Bu dönemde Endülüs, İslam dünyasının en önemli entelektüel merkezlerinden biri haline gelmiş ve Müslümanlar, Hristiyanlar ve Yahudiler arasında dikkate değer bir kültürel etkileşim ve birlikte yaşama pratiği gelişmiştir. Ancak, bu kültürel gelişmelere ve sosyal uyuma rağmen, iç çekişmeler ve Hristiyan Reconquista hareketinin yükselmesi, Endülüs’teki siyasi istikrarı giderek zayıflatmıştır. Bunun sonucunda, 15. yüzyılın sonlarına doğru Müslüman egemenliği sona ermiş ve İber Yarımadası'nın büyük bir kısmı Hristiyan hâkimiyeti altına girmiştir. Bu dönemin öne çıkan devletlerinden biri olan Hûdîler, Endülüs Emevî Devleti'nin yıkılmasının ardından 11. yüzyılın başlarında ortaya çıkmıştır. Hûdîler, Endülüs'te önemli bir siyasi güç olarak kendini göstermiş, diğer emirliklerle ittifaklar kurmuş ve birçok çatışmaya girmiştir. Özellikle Emir Muhammed b. Abdullah el-Hûdî'nin liderliğinde, Hûdîler İslam kültürüne ve medeniyetine önemli katkılarda bulunmuştur. Hûdîler’in tarihine, yönetimlerine, hizmetlerine, savaşlarına ve Endülüs İslam tarihine olan katkılarına dair yapılan bu çalışma, bu dönemi daha derinlemesine anlamayı hedeflemektedir. Bu çalışma, sınırlı akademik ilgiye rağmen, Hûdîler’in Endülüs İslam tarihi içindeki rolünü daha iyi kavrayabilmek için kapsamlı bir inceleme sunmaktadır. Hem siyasi hem de kültürel bağlamda Hûdîler’in etkilerini değerlendirerek, bu dönemin karmaşıklığını ve Endülüs’ün entelektüel zenginliğine katkılarını daha iyi anlamamıza yardımcı olacaktır.

Authors: José C.C de Azevedo Hugo , Rezende de Oliveira Paloma
Published: December 2024

Portugal investiu na formação do ensino industrial por meio da criação do Instituto Industrial de Lisboa e da Escola Industrial do Porto, em novembro de 1852, com o objetivo de instruir e educar as classes trabalhadoras das cidades de Porto e Lisboa. O objetivo do artigo é analisar a concepção zoológica presente no compêndio Elementos de zoologia, do autor Maximiano Lemos, publicado em 1890, que era utilizado nessas escolas industriais. Para poder compreender a concepção zoológica presente no compêndio, parte-se da seguinte pergunta de investigação: quais as principais influências de Maximiano Lemos sobre os conhecimentos zoológicos? Na análise documental desenvolvida, foram obtidas três categorias de concepção zoológica: taxonomia e classificação zoológica, filosofia mecanicista e plano de divisão corpóreo. Conclui-se que Maximiano Lemos adotou a taxonomia de Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Claus e a filosofia mecanicista de Oscar Hertwig, enquanto o plano de divisão corpóreo teve a influência francesa de Edmond Perrier.
Uluslararası İlişkiler Teorilerinde Siyasal Düzenin Doğallığı: Leo Straussçu Bir Analiz
Authors: Pektaş Uğur
Published: December 2024

Leo Strauss’a göre, siyasal düzenin kökenine ilişkin birbirine zıt iki bakış açısı vardır. Bir tarafta siyasal düzenin kendiliğinden ortaya çıktığını iddia eden bakış açısı vardır ki Strauss buna doğalcı siyasal düzen adını vermiştir. Diğer tarafta ise Strauss’un uylaşımsal siyasal düzen adını verdiği bakış açısı vardır. Buna göre, siyasal düzen onu kuracak ve gözetecek bir otoritenin varlığına muhtaçtır. Strauss, çeşitli siyasal düzenlerde birbirinden farklı hak anlayışları olduğu iddiasıyla siyasal düzenin kendiliğinden değil, uylaşımsal olarak ortaya çıktığını savunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Leo Strauss’un ikili ayrımı ve argümanı fenomenolojiden faydalanılarak kavramsal bir çerçeveye oturtulmaktadır. Daha sonra söz konusu kavramsal çerçeve Uluslararası İlişkiler teorilerinden yapısal realizm, liberalizm, neo-liberal kurumsalcılık, İngiliz okulu ve inşacılık teorilerini çözümlemek için kullanılmıştır.
İnanç Pratiklerinin Dönüşümüne Dair Sosyolojik Çıkarımlar: Yoga Deneyimi Üzerine Nitel Bir Araştırma
Authors: Aksan Gamze , Elnabarawy Kübra
Published: December 2024

Postmodern dönemde, ruhsal iyileşmeye yönelik temel ilgiler, bu alandaki aktivitelerin artışını şekillendiren dinamikler arasında yer alırken, bireylerin davranış biçimlerini, ilişkilerini ve yaşam tarzlarını bu doğrultuda yeniden yorumladıkları gözlemlenmektedir. Bu bağlamda bireylerin inançlarında ve buna dair pratiklerde seküler temelli yeni dini hareketler gibi farklılıklara yönelmesi ve bu durumun inşa ettiği sosyal ilişkilerin analizi sosyolojik açıdan önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışma modernleşme sürecinin bireylerin inanç biçimlerine ve kutsalla olan ilişkisine dönüştürücü etkisi bağlamında inanma pratiklerini yoga deneyimi üzerinden ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çerçevede mülakat tekniğinden faydalanılarak yoga merkezleri ve yoga uygulayıcıları ile görüşülmüş, araştırmanın temel amaçları doğrultusunda belirli bulgulara ulaşılmıştır. 6 kurum işletmecisi ve 18 katılımcıdan elde edilen nitel mülakat verileri; günlük sosyal ilişkilerin yüzeyselleşmesi ve dejenere olması ile inanç ve ibadete yöneliş ve bunların mahiyetinin anlaşılması, bilginin özüne erişme, bireysel çıkarlardan kaçınarak kolektif çıkara yönelme hissiyatı gibi birtakım motivasyonların ön plana çıktığını göstermiştir. İlginç sonuçlardan birisi ise yoganın semavi dinlerin inanç pratikleri ile kıyaslanması ve onlarla benzeşim kurulması yoluyla inancın bireysel deneyimlere dayanan ihtiyaçlarla ilişkilendirilmesi olmuştur.

Fractional order PIλDµ controller for hybrid tank system control
Authors: Assabaa Mohamed , Bouchahed Adel , Draidi Abdellah , Hammoudi Salah
Published: December 2024

This research presents a new methodology for the design and analysis of a PID controller specifically engineered for hybrid tank systems, which include both interacting and non-interacting components. The approach incorporates fractional calculus to enhance the controller’s performance. With the growing complexity of modern control systems, there is an increasing need for more adaptable control strategies. Fractional-Order PID (FOPID) controllers have emerged as a powerful solution, offering improved flexibility and performance over traditional integer-order PID controllers. By introducing two additional parameters, λ and µ, the FOPID controller enables more precise adjustments, allowing it to meet a wider array of performance goals. This is especially beneficial in systems with intricate dynamics, such as hybrid tank systems. Simulation results, achieved using the Ziegler-Nichols tuning method, clearly demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed FOPID controller, highlighting improvements in system efficiency, precision, and stability. The study provides a thorough evaluation of this control method, confirming its potential for practical applications in complex hybrid systems.

Authors: Soulimane Ilyas , Kaab Mohamed Zohaïr , Farik Ali , Athamnia Brahim
Published: December 2024

Seismic catalogs are very useful in general seismicity studies such as structures, bridges and buried pipelines. In this paper, we suggest a new catalog on the seismicity in a specific region in Algeria, defined by longitudes [-4.5° & 2°] and latitudes [32° & 37.5°]. The used data is taken from the open quake platform. This work takes into account the homogenization of magnitudes, in Mw, through the use of certain empirical relationships. This catalog includes more than 16890 events, constituting a database to the seismicity of this region. The proposed document covers a historical and instrumental period of more than 100 years from 1900 to the present. The established catalog is characterized by the completeness and homogenization of the particular information to the seismicity of the northwest of Algeria over a radius of 300 km around the city of Tlemcen.
Multi-objective optimization in an identical parallel flow shop scheduling problem with waiting time constraint
Authors: Mansouri Milad , Smadi Hacene , Bahmani Younes
Published: December 2024

The Operations Research community has grown interested in scheduling problems within flow shop systems. Despite this, the Identical Parallel Flow Shop Scheduling Problem (IPFSSP) remains underexplored, especially with multiple objective functions. This paper aims to bridge this gap by developing a scheduling strategy for an Identical Parallel Flow Shop Scheduling Problem with a bicriteria objective, focusing on Makespan and the total Earliness and Tardiness of jobs while considering Waiting time constraint. The study employs both a priori and a posteriori methods to address the problem. The main contribution of this work is the integration of algorithmic components designed to balance the loads across flow shop lines within the proposed algorithms. A series of test instances are utilized to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms, which is then compared to a lower bound. Experimental results demonstrate that each method presents distinct advantages and limitations regarding convergence, optimality, and computation time for addressing multi-objective IPFSSP challenges.

Published: December 2024

Prostate cancer, a significant global health concern, requires accurate and timely diagnosis for optimal treatment planning. Gleason grading, a key prognostic factor, often relies on subjective histopathological interpretation. This research proposes a non-invasive approach to accurately predict prostate cancer Gleason grade using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and advanced machine learning techniques. Our method involves three key steps: image segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. First, we utilize Fuzzy C-Means segmentation to accurately identify tumor regions within MRI scans. Subsequently, a modified ResNet50 model is employed to extract relevant features from these segmented regions. Finally, these extracted features are fed into a machine learning models classifiers to predict the Gleason grade of the tumor Through this experimentation, we found that the Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) model consistently outperforms other popular techniques like Random Forest and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The GBM model achieved an impressive accuracy of 93%, sensitivity of 92%, specificity of 94%, and an AUC-ROC of 0.95. These impressive metrics indicate that our GBM model can effectively distinguish between low-grade and high-grade prostate cancers. By automating the diagnostic process and reducing reliance on subjective human interpretation, our proposed method has the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes and treatment decisions. This innovative approach could lead to earlier and more accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer, enabling timely and effective treatment interventions.

Authors: Boumous Zouhir , Boumous Samira , Belhouchet Hadia , Boumous Moufida
Published: December 2024

The performance of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology is heavily influenced by the type and characteristics of the batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs). Lithium-ion batteries, the most commonly used due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and low self-discharge rate, are particularly well-suited for V2G applications. These batteries can endure frequent charging and discharging cycles, which is essential for V2G systems that need to regularly supply power back to the grid. However, without proper management, continuous cycling can accelerate battery degradation. To mitigate this, advanced battery management systems (BMS) are crucial for monitoring and optimizing the charging and discharging processes to maintain battery health and extend lifespan. Solid-state batteries, which are still under development but promise greater energy density and longer lifespans compared to lithium-ion batteries, could further enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of V2G technology. The choice of battery type significantly impacts the economic and operational feasibility of V2G, affecting aspects such as energy capacity, charging speed, cycle durability, and system reliability. As battery technology advances, it will be pivotal to the wider adoption and success of V2G systems. This research explores the integration of various traditional and renewable energy sources within the studied system, analyzing their impact and interpreting the results.
