El problema de la adopción y la necesidad de distinguir entre lógica y razonamiento
Authors: Moscoso Vásconez David
Published: November 2022

El problema de la adopción presentado por Kripke y Padró sostiene que no es posible adoptar nuevos principios lógicos porque para hacerlo es necesario razonar previamente con ciertos principios básicos, y si ya tenemos dichos principios, la adopción no es necesaria. Siguiendo esta idea, para razonar es necesario tener la capacidad de utilizar principios básicos, por lo tanto, si un agente no los tiene, sería incapaz de realizar los razonamientos. Kripke y Padró suponen un caso limitado de  razonamiento, al que presuponen como primitivo. En contra de esta idea, muestro que no existen garantías de que el razonamiento tenga una estructura similar a los principios lógicos, dado que es posible llegar a las mismas conclusiones a partir de distintas formas. Argumento que no es posible justificar cuál es la forma del razonar, por lo que el razonamiento no debe ser el objeto de la lógica. A partir de esta argumentación, muestro que el problema de la adopción tiene un aspecto cierto en el que ningún principio puede ser adoptado, porque el razonamiento no tiene una estructura similar a alguna lógica. Además, sostengo que es posible utilizar distintas  lógicas como modelos que guíen la comunicación de argumentos.
Contextualismo sexual
Authors: Richardson Sarah S.
Published: November 2022

En este artículo se desarrolla el marco conceptual del “contextualismo sexual” para el estudio de las variables relacionadas con el sexo en la investigación biomédica. El contextualismo sexual ofrece una alternativa a los enfoques sexuales binarios y esencialistas del estudio del sexo como variable biológica. Específicamente, el contextualismo sexual reconoce el pluralismo y la especificidad contextual que tienen las operacionalizaciones de “sexo” a través de la investigación experimental de laboratorio. A la luz de recientes normativas para la consideración del sexo como variable biológica, el contextualismo sexual ofrece una guía constructiva a los/as investigadores/as biomédicos/as para abordar la variación biológica relacionada con el sexo. En tanto alternativa y crítica al esencialismo binario del sexo biológico, el contextualismo sexual contribuye a los debates actuales en filosofía de la biología, estudios feministas de la ciencia y ontología social en torno a la construcción de categorías de la diferencia sexual/genérica en la investigación científica.
Reglas lógicas y cambio de práctica inferencial
Authors: Padró Romina , Barrio Eduardo A.
Published: November 2022

¿Podemos adoptar una regla de inferencia como si fuera una hipótesis e inferir algo en virtud de esa regla? ¿Podemos revisar nuestras reglas y principios lógicos en virtud de la evidencia disponible? El antiexcepcionalismo lógico desafía la idea de que la lógica es excepcional y la vincula con el resto de las teorías científicas. Sin embargo, el desafío de la adopción planteado por Kripke y Padró imponen límites a esta concepción. En esta sección, se exploran distintos aspectos vinculados a la imposibilidad de adoptar reglas, el antiexcepcionalismo, la revisión y la normatividad de la lógica.

BIODEGRADATION OF GLYPHOSATE CONTAINING HERBICIDE BY SOIL BACTERIA
Authors: OMORINOLA ALAKE , Ogunbiyi Oluwagbenga , OWOH-ETETE UKAMAKA
Published: November 2022

Sixty bacterial isolates were isolated from two herbicide contaminated soil farms (Amoyo and University of Ilorin Nursery section both in Kwara State) after enrichment with mineral salt medium (MSM) supplemented with glyphosate containing herbicide. The organophosphorus herbicide efficiently stimulated the growth of bacterial isolates. Bacteria isolated were subjected to screening using varying concentrations of the herbicide ranging from 0.1 to 3% prepared with mineral salt medium. This screening revealed that all the bacterial isolates had biodegradative potential. They however had varying degradative potentials as some had heavy growth while others had only slight growth or no growth on increased concentrations of herbicide. Screening reduces the bacterial populations with growth ranging from 5.0 x 104 to 2.33 x 108 while the number of bacterial isolates reduced from sixty to thirteen. These bacterial isolates were Pseudomonas putida, Bacillus safenis, Lysinibacillus fusiformis, Micrococcus sp., Arthrobacter sp., Aeromonas sp., Bacillus cereus, Flavobacterium sp., Acinetobacter rhizoshaerae, Bacillus pumilus, Achrobacterium sp., Bacillus sp., and Ochrobacterium sp. The increase in viable bacterial counts over the period of 21 days indicated the use of herbicide as carbon source for their various metabolism processes. These bacteria can be recommended as environmentally safer alternatives tools to protect soil from excessive use of glyphosate containing herbicide residues which might contaminate the soil.

THEORETICAL APPROACHES TO UNDERSTANDING THE POTENTIAL OF ECONOMIC GROWTH OF AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS ENTITIES
Authors: HNATKIVSKYI Bohdan
Published: November 2022

The article systematizes theoretical approaches to understanding the potential of economic growth, which allowed to consider it as factors and sources of growth and formation of economic power, as a result of productive forces in the industry and means of meeting social needs in general, and as processes of identifying and creating certain spectra of business opportunities; formation, structuring and construction of indicators of the maximum possible production capacities and criteria of optimality of production plans, in particular, for separate subjects of agrarian business. The potential for economic growth can be understood as an increase in the supply of goods (or services) created during a certain selected financial period. The potential for economic growth can be determined by many factors, the most important of which are the factors influencing supply and demand. Supply factors will determine the physical capacity of the potential to grow, and the following: quantitative and qualitative characteristics of natural resources; quantitative and qualitative characteristics of labor resources; volumes of capital; technological development and potential. It is outlined that the potential of economic development of business entities is currently associated with the growth of knowledge-intensive industries in the basic industries. It was found that special attention is paid to the sustainable potential of economic growth, especially the potential for increasing the welfare of economic entities. In addition, it was established that the potential for economic growth should be derived from the direction of development that will take into account the socialization of the economic system as a whole. Business, farming, entrepreneurship, and invention are potentially profitable activities, and those involved are respected. Positive attitudes towards innovation are important socio-cultural factors of economic growth potential. In the developed world, the potential for economic growth is considered as a great benefit to the people. Finally, over a long period of time, the potential for economic growth will depend on the political structure and organization of society.

Authors: Ahmad Bhat Javaid , Hussain Bhat Basharat
Published: November 2022

The paper evaluates the performance of primary sector of Kazakhstan economy from output and employment perspective since independence. To evaluate the economic performance of primary sector average growth rate (AGR), average annual growth rate (AAGR) and compound annual growth rate (CAGR) have been calculated at decadal end points and for whole period of 28 years. The primary sector of Kazakhstan has played an important role in its growth trajectory but its contribution to both output and employment has declined over the years. Primary sector output share has declined from 9.59% in 1991 to 5.07% in 2018, while the share of primary sector employment has declined from 41.50% in 1991 to 17.90% in 2018, thus showing a decline of 23.60%. A major decline in employment contribution of primary sector has taken place in the last two decades and can be attributed to economic diversification and structural transformation that has taken place over the period of time.

Wer schreibt die Geschichte(n)? Die 8. bis frühe 12. Dynastie im Licht ägyptologischer und ägyptischer Sinnbildungen
Authors: Giewekemeyer Antonia
Published: November 2022

This study concerns itself with the 8th to early 12th dynasties. A period allegedly interpreted by the Egyptians themselves as a period of change and divided into a time of decline and a time of restoration or renaissance. Antonia Giewekemeyer reconsiders these Egyptological reconstructions by both analysing their scholarly development and by surveying the available contemporaneous Egyptian sources. As a result, she argues that the Egyptian sources emphasise continuation and coherence instead of restauration or renaissance. Furthermore, she demonstrates how the modern experience of change affected and finally misled Egyptological reconstructions.
Dispersion des plastiques marins flottants à la surface des océans

Published: November 2022

Bien que la détection de la pollution plastique en mer ait commencé il y a plusieurs décennies dans des gyres océaniques subtropicaux, des régions éloignées des côtes, nous savons maintenant que les débris plastiques sont omniprésents dans tous les bassins océaniques, écosystèmes, habitats et réseaux trophiques, y compris dans nos aliments et le sel de mer. Outre les travaux visant à mieux comprendre la contamination, le champ d'investigation s'est élargi aux problèmes des sources, du devenir et des cheminements dans l'environnement physique et dynamique de l'océan, avec la volonté de vouloir répondre à une question fondamentale persistante : pourquoi le plastique s'accumule-t-il dans certaines régions des océans ?

Although the detection of plastic pollution at sea began a few decades ago in the subtropical ocean gyres, regions far from any land, we now know that floating plastic debris is ubiquitous in all ocean basins, ecosystems, habitats, and food webs, including in our food and sea salt. In addition to work to better understand contamination, the scope of investigation has broadened to include issues of sources, fate, and pathways in the physical and dynamic environment of the ocean, with a Focus on answering a fundamental and persistent question: why does plastic accumulate in certain regions of the oceans?

Published: November 2022

The research study investigates the effects of child labour on school attendance in Muheza district, Tanga region in Tanzania. The specific objectives guiding the study were: to explore people’s awareness of child labour, to identify the causes of child labour, and to find out the effects of child labour on school progress. The study employed a mixed approach whereby both qualitative and quantitative data were used. The sample size of this study is 112 respondents. The sample size of this study is 112 respondents through questionnaires and interviews. Interviews and questionnaires were used to collect the data and the data were analysed qualitatively through content analysis and quantitatively analysed with the help of the computer using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16 and instrument reliability test by using the Spearman-Brown Prophecy technique. The study findings show that poor learning concentration due to stress and fatigue, low-grade performance and missing tests and examinations are among the major effects on children with irregular school attendance. The findings also revealed that dropping out from school and truancy are other effects on students, especially those who engage in child labour. It is also said that some victims engage in crimes in the streets and the girls get early pregnancies due to unplanned engagement in early sexual practices. Apart from that, it was also reported that they are affected in their health and get depressed. The findings on the causes of child labour revealed that poverty of the family and family members was said to be the major cause of children engaging in child labour. Other causes mentioned by the respondents include domestic violence, poor implementation of laws, lack of legal responsibility of parents and school-based violence. Other causes revealed included the death of the parents, illiterate parents, lack of parental care for the children as well as poor school facilities that do not attract the children to stay at school and instead decide to engage in child labour. The respondents declined the fact that traditional practices are among the causes of children engaging in child labour. In light of the presented findings, it was recommended that the parents should be highly engaged in the students learning process. The government should also have statistics that can help to plan for interventions to help those children who are involved in child labour

Published: November 2022

The aim of the study was to determine compliance with road safety laws and factors that influence it among commercial motorcyclists in semi-urban towns in Western Nigeria. A descriptive cross-sectional study was done using a multi-stage sampling technique of 502 commercial motorcyclists. Data was collected using a pretested semi-structured questionnaire. Analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics with statistical significance determined at a 95% confidence interval and p-value of 0.05. The median age of respondents was 30 years; most were in the second and third phases of life. Compliance with road safety regulations was good in only 26% of respondents; mobile phone usage and alcohol drink riding was found in 31.9% and 28.1%, respectively. Approximately 96.4% indulged in carrying more than one pillion rider, 48% admitted to riding against traffic, and 83.3% wore reflective jackets at night. Use of stimulants was reported among 39.4% of respondents, while only 13.7% smoke cigarettes. The reported crash was found in 56.8% of respondents. Those with previous traffic violations and those that admitted fault for the crash were 2.75 times and 2.51 times more likely to comply with road safety regulations [AOR:2.748, 95%CI: 1.784- 4.332 and AOR: 2.512, 95% CI: 1.195-5-5.278] respectively. Compliance with road safety regulations was poor among commercial motorcyclists in the study population. Measures gingered towards increasing observance of road safety regulations such as increased safety education, effective policing to enforce compliance and punishment of erring riders, should be instituted. This will eventually translate to increased awareness and enhance road safety

Authors: Andi Suswani  , Risnah  , A.Nurlaela Amin  , Haerani
Published: November 2022

Background: Interprofessional Education (IPE) is a collaborative practice between two or more health professions that learn each other's role of a profession that aims to improve collaboration skills and quality of healthcare. This research aims to analyze the perception and readiness of students and lecturers about IPE for the financial improvement of health education. Method: This type of research is descriptive analysis with a proportional approach. The qualitative method of Triangulation design is used to get more information about the readiness and perception of lecturers and students in the implementation of IPE.  Sampling techniques are purposive sampling techniques and snowball sampling. The number of samples was 26, consisting of a 16-person lecturer and 9-man students.  Result: The results showed that students have readiness in IPE implementation because students have high confidence in their ability to cooperate with other health professions. Unlike the lecturers, which states that most are less prepared in the IPE implementation. This difference is due to most of the lecturers having never participated in the socialization/training/workshop about IPE. Students have a good perception of IPE implementation because they consider that learning along with other health professions can teach how to study and work in a team, hone communication skills, understand the task and Responsibilities according to their profession. Lecturers have a good perception in the implementation of IPE because they have understood that collaboration with other health professions can improve the quality of health services but still need implementation strategy of the main preparation activities Institutions.  Conclusion: Most lecturers and students are not ready in the implementation of IPE and most of the lecturers and students are well-perceptual to the IPE implementation.

Survey of Advances in Cobb Angle Measurement for Automatic Spine Detection in X-Ray
Authors: Adibatti Spurthi , K. R. Sudhindra , S. Joshi Manisha
Published: November 2022

Chronic back pain is a bending-induced malformation of the human spinal column that can cause severe pain as well as cosmetic and pulmonary issues. The external appearance of a human back in scoliosis is generally the reflection of internal deformation. Spinal curvature is usually measured in degrees using the Cobb angle, the standard method for evaluating scoliosis patients. This article highlights the review of earlier research articles on scoliosis to provide insight into the existing knowledge, which aids in the robust identification and monitoring of scoliosis. However, many researchers have worked in this field for many decades yet there is no reliable, easily available, and universal tool for Cobb angle estimation. Hence, the present article enlightens the existing information and the lacunae in the field to aid further scope for research opportunities available for future consideration. Using RGB and complexity photos collected by an RGB-complexity device Microsoft, a modified convolutional network (MCN) named fuse-Unet is the proposal to provide automatic recognition of the human spine area and which was before the imaging route. A normal-vector-based approach and two force sensors are used to ensure that the probe fits the spine area well a 6-degree-of-freedom robotic arm in the role of a doctor who completes the automatic scanning along the pre-planned path. Furthermore, Cobb angles for morphological structural analysis of the spine are determined using 3-D ultrasound modeling and scanning of the spine. The suggested system's performance is evaluated using phantom and in vivo tests.

Tikslas. Įvertinti rizikos veiksnių, regėjimo aštrumo ir išverstakumo sąsajas tarp Greivso oftalmopatija (GO) besigydančių pacientų. Metodai. Retrospektyviai rinkti duomenys iš medicininės dokumentacijos („E. sveikata“) apie pacientų lytį, rizikos veiksnius, iš- verstakumo lygį, regėjimo aštrumo vertinimą. Rezultatai. Iš 40 tiriamųjų didžiąją dalį sudarė moterys (n = 30, t. y. 75 proc.), vyrų mažiau (n = 10, t. y. 25 proc.). Tiriamųjų amžius svyravo nuo 24 iki 86 metų, o bendras amžiaus vidurkis – 60,55 (s = 16,68) metai. 53,3 proc. (n = 16) moterų sirgo hipertireoze, o vyrų – 40 proc. (n = 4). 80 proc. (n = 8) vyrų rūkė, o rūkančios moterys sudarė 26,7 proc. (n = 8). Vyrai, patiriantys stresą, sudarė 50 proc. (n = 5) vyriškosios lyties populiacijos, moterų – 30 proc. (n =9) (p = 0,181 ir p = 0,051). Įvertinus regėjimo aštrumo ir išverstakumo sąsajas, nebuvo nustatyta statistiškai reikšmingo ryšio. Išvados. Dažniausi Greivso oftalmopatija sirgusių pacientų rizikos veiksniai – hipertireozė, rūkymas ir stresas. Hipertireoze sergančių pacientų išverstakumas yra didesnis, lyginant su hipertireoze nesergančiais pacientais.

Tyrimo tikslas. Įvertinti pacientų, siųstų II kardiologinės reabilitacijos (KR) etapui po atliktos atviros širdies operacijos (AŠO) ir turinčių senatvinį silpnumo sindromą (SSS), 12 savaičių trukmės reabilitacijos treniruočių programos namuose (TPN) ir fizinio aktyvumo rekomendacijų laikymąsi. Metodika. Įtraukimo kriterijai: pacientai po AŠO; amžius ≥ 65 metai; 6 min. ėjimo testas (6MĖT) ≥ 150 metrų; pagal Edmontono silpnumo skalę (ESS) ≥ 4 balai; paciento sutikimas dalyvauti tyrime. 31 pacientas baigė 20 KR programą stacionare, o po KR papildomai dalyvavo TPN. Pacientai paskirstyti į grupes pagal rekomendacijų laikymąsi, vertintas 6MĖT, „Stotis ir eiti“ testas ir ESS. Statistinė duomenų analizė atlikta naudojant „IBM SPSS 27.0“ versiją. Rezultatai. 20 (58,1 proc.) pacientų laikėsi rekomendacijų ir 26 (83,9 proc.) atvyko į trečią vizitą. 6MĖT, „Stotis ir eiti” testo ir ESS rezultatai pagerėjo laiko atžvilgiu (p < 0,05), statistiškai reikšmingų skirtumų tarp grupių nebuvo (p > 0,05). Dažniausiai nurodomos priežastys netęsti fizinio aktyvumo – motyvacijos stygius ir išlikę pooperaciniai skausmai. Išvados. Vyresnio amžiaus pacientai po atliktos AŠO, sergantys SSS, sėkmingai dalyvavo NTP, nepageidaujamų įvykių neregistruota.
Klotrimazolio svarba gydant vulvovagininę kandidozę
Authors: Jakubauskienė Lolita
Published: November 2022

Vulvovagininė kandidozė (VVK) – tai makšties infekcija, kai sutrikus normaliai makšties ekologinei sistemai, joje sparčiai pradeda daugintis mielių grybelis. Apie 90 proc. moterų VVK sukėlėjas yra Candida albicans. Apie 10 proc. atvejų vulvovagininę kandidozę sukelia non-albicans rūšys, tokios kaip Candida glabrata, Candida krusei ir kt. Moksliniai tyrimai rodo, kad reprodukcinio amžiaus moterims vulvovagininę kandidozę 85–95 proc. atvejų sukelia C. albicans [1]. Moterims po menopauzės, sergančioms diabetu arba esant imunosupresijai, dažniau nustatomos non-albicans rūšys [1].
Demencija ir Alzheimerio liga – ar priežastis tik vyresnis amžius?
Authors: Bagdonavičienė Lina
Published: November 2022

Demencija yra viena pagrindinių vyresnio amžiaus žmonių negalios priežasčių ir septintoji pagrindinė mirties priežastis tarp visų ligų. Manoma, kad dėl laipsniško visuomenės senėjimo per ateinančius dešimtmečius demencijos atvejų visame pasaulyje tik daugės. Pasaulinėje Alzheimerio ligos, kaip labiausiai paplitusios demencijos formos, ataskaitoje minima, kad beveik 62 proc. apklaustų sveikatos priežiūros specialistų yra įsitikinę, kad demencija – natūrali senėjimo dalis. Daugumoje mokslinių straipsnių nurodoma, kad mityba ir gyvenimo būdas turi įtakos pažinimo funkcijai. Mokslininkai teigia, kad žmogaus žarnyno mikroflora gali veikti kaip „antrosios smegenys“ ir būti atsakinga už neurodegeneracinius sutrikimus (pavyzdžiui, Alzheimerio ligą). Pasaulio sveikatos organizacija (PSO) demenciją pripažįsta visuomenės sveikatos prioritetu. Rugsėjo mėnesį visame pasaulyje daug dėmesio skiriama visuomenei šviesti, kalbėti apie Alzheimerio ligą ir naikinti vis dar vyraujančią Alzheimerio ligos ir visų rūšių demencijos stigmą.
DEVELOPMENT OF AN AGE-PERIOD-COHORT-EXPERIENCE MODEL FOR FILIPINO INTERGENERATIONAL DIVERSITY INQUIRY IN SCHOOLS
Authors: Bongco Roxanne , Ancho Inero
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study is to develop a model to scrutinize intergenerational (IG) diversity in the workplace in response to current issues in IG diversity studies. These include the ambiguity of the definition of generation as the basis for understanding IG diversity and the overgeneralization of findings that could lead to generational stereotypes. The present study consists of two-phase developmental research. Phase One involved model development based on an integrative literature review. Phase Two focused on the validation of the model in the context of multigenerational colleagues in Philippine basic education schools. An Age-Period-Cohort-Experience (APCE) model was developed to explore IG diversity in the workplace. Validation showed the applicability of the model to obtain a contextualized understanding of IG diversity through the recognition of the overlapping and interrelated effects of age, period, cohort, and work experiences. The APCE model provided a useful lens for scrutinizing the IG diversity of the teachers in the workplace through qualitative research with limitations in terms of their age, period, cohort, and experiences. As such, said descriptions for each generation could only hold true while all four conditions are present. Until a strong basis for analysis is established, the separation of one effect from another will be difficult.
