Machine Learning-based High-Dimensional Text Document Classification and Clustering
Authors: Kataria Ansh
Published: February 2025

Text classification is a difficult technique. Many techniques have been
developed to decrease the dimension of feature vectors for use in text classification due
to their enormous size. This work provides a detailed discussion of unique parameters
utilising an optic clustering strategy, as well as a review of some of the most essential
text categorization algorithms. In this case, the words are clustered according to their
level of similarity. Each cluster's membership function is based on the mean along with
the standard deviation of its data. Finally, characteristics are chosen from each
grouping. Each cluster's extracted feature is the weighted sum of its words. There's also
no need to guess or use trial-and-error approaches to determine the optimal number of
clusters.
Applying Deep Learning to Classify Massive Amounts of Text Using Convolutional Neural Systems
Authors: Bansal Shubhansh
Published: February 2025

Supervised learning based on deep learning is often used for mass-scale
picture categorization. However, it takes a lot of computing effort and energy to retrain
these vast networks to accept new, unknown data. When retraining, it is possible that
training samples used before would not be accessible. We present a scalable, gradually
expanding CNN that can learn new jobs while reusing some of the base networks and
an efficient training mechanism. Our approach takes cues from transfer learning
methods, but unlike other approaches, it retains knowledge of previously mastered
tasks. Convolutional layers from the early section of the base network are reused in the
updated network, and a few more convolutional kernels are added to the later layers to
facilitate learning a new set of classes. On the task of categorising texts, we tested the
suggested method. Our method achieves comparable classification accuracy to the
standard incremental learning method in which networks are updated solely with new
training samples, without any network sharing), while also being more resourcefriendly and taking less time and space to train.
Machine Learning and Deep Learning Models for Sentiment Analysis of Product Reviews
Authors: Mishra Saket
Published: February 2025

In our research, we use sentiment analysis to determine how well ratings and
reviews are compared on Amazon.com. The process of determining whether a text's
tone is favorable or negative and labelling it as such is known as sentiment analysis.
Consumers may write evaluations on e-commerce sites like Amazon.com and indicate
the polarity of their opinion. There is a discrepancy between the review and the rating
in certain cases. We used deep learning to analyze the sentiment of Amazon.com
product reviews in order to find reviews with inconsistent star ratings. A paragraph
vector was utilized to transform textual product evaluations into numeric data that was
then fed into a neural network with recurrent equipped with a gated recurrent unit for
training. We built a model that takes into account the review text's semantic
connections to the product data. Additionally, we built a web service that uses the
trained model to predict the rating score of a submitted review and gives feedback to a
reviewer if the anticipated and submitted ratings do not line up.
Use of electrocoagulation for treatment of wastewater
Authors: PATIL Bhagyashri
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Effective wastewater treatment is essential for safeguarding environmental integrity and public health. The demand for innovative, cost-effective, and highly efficient technologies to purify wastewater before its release into natural ecosystems has never been more critical. Conventional coagulation techniques used in wastewater treatment exhibit significant limitations, including incomplete pollutant removal, excessive chemical consumption, substantial sludge generation, sensitivity to pH fluctuations, inefficacy against emerging contaminants, high energy requirements, variability in feed water quality, and the necessity for supplementary processes to achieve regulatory standards. This research focuses on electrocoagulation as a promising alternative for wastewater treatment. Electrocoagulation utilizes electric currents to facilitate the coagulation of suspended and dissolved contaminants, leading to their subsequent removal. The study investigates how modifications in key design parameters can optimize this process for various industrial applications, depending on the specific contaminants present. By fine-tuning these parameters, electrocoagulation can be adapted to meet a wide range of treatment requirements, thereby broadening its applicability across different sectors.
Water use efficiency strategy for the Universitas Trisakti FTSP building
Authors: PATIL Satish B.
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Buildings play a significant role in green development. The FTSP Building at Universitas Trisakti aims to implement Green Buildings. Water efficiency contributes 13% to the green buildings criteria. To determine efficiency and strategies for improving water usage, water balance calculations were performed using the Ministry of PUPR Water Balance Software v2.6. Strategies were tested through 72 simulations, each replacing a component to identify the most impactful factor on the FTSP building's water efficiency. The water efficiency of the FTSP building aims at conserving PDAM water resources. The simulations revealed that the most influential components for water efficiency in the FTSP building are the water system and faucets. Adopting a system that uses rainwater and treated used water for non-potable needs, recycling black water for toilets/flushing, and installing water-saving faucets on FTSP can reduce the water efficiency of PDAM from 4% to 78.9% on dry days and 100% on rainy days if supported by various factors. The assessment points increased from 9 to 15 out of 22 points. Further testing is needed to accurately implement this strategy in the FTSP building.
Development of floating concrete for use as solar photovoltaic systems using expanded polystyrene and plastic fiber over the water bodies in Bangladesh
Authors: SARKER Arnob
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Bangladesh faces an electricity deficit despite increasing power demand. To address this, innovative approaches are needed. Floating concrete platforms made of polystyrene and plastic fiber can be used to install solar photovoltaic panels over water bodies. This method efficiently utilizes solar energy while utilizing available water bodies. The platforms can withstand compressive, flexural, and tensile forces that the photovoltaic panels and related equipment apply. The platform needs enough buoyancy to support the panels. This paper evaluates the concrete used for the floating platforms using three different mix ratios by volume of cement, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), sand, and fiber. The ratios are 1: 2.86: 0.59: 0.09 (22%:63%:13%:2%), 1: 2.89: 0.49: 0.07 (22.5%:65%:11%:1.5%), and 1: 3.42: 0.39: 0.07 (20%:70%:8.5%:1.5%). Among these, the mix ratio of 1: 3.42: 0.39: 0.07 (20% cement, 70% EPS, 8.5% sand, 1.5% fiber) was identified as the most successful. This ratio offers the lowest unit weight while providing sufficient support and stability for the solar photovoltaic panels. This mix ensures that the platform is light enough to float yet strong enough to withstand the mechanical stresses imposed by the solar installation. By utilizing this optimized mix ratio, Bangladesh can harness solar energy efficiently, helping to alleviate the electricity deficit. This innovative solution not only addresses the immediate energy needs but also promotes the use of renewable energy, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Evaluating the Cognitive Impact of Exergames in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Qian Yijun , Schwartz Anna , Zhang Yichi , Kramer Arthur F. , Chukoskie Leanne
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Cognitive decline in older adults is a growing global concern. Exergames, which combine physical exercise with cognitive training in an interactive digital environment, have shown promise in mitigating this decline.

OBJECTIVE

To assess the effectiveness of exergames in improving cognitive function among community-dwelling older adults through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

METHODS

A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, ACM, and IEEE databases for studies published between January 2014 and June 2024. Studies were included if they: (1) involved participants with mean age ≥60 years, (2) implemented exergame interventions in community settings, (3) included pre- and post-cognitive assessments, and (4) provided sufficient data for effect size calculation. The analysis examined effects across different populations (healthy, mild cognitive impairment [MCI], and dementia), exergame types, and various cognitive domains.

RESULTS

Ten studies comprising 690 participants (EXG=350, Control=340) met inclusion criteria. The pooled effect size was 0.1327 (95% CI 0.066-0.199, P< .001), indicating significant positive effects of exergames on cognition. Subgroup analyses revealed that individuals with MCI showed the largest benefits (g=0.256, 95% CI 0.11-0.40, P=.003), followed by cognitively healthy older adults (g=0.132, 95% CI 0.03-0.23, P=.013). Aerobic exergames (g=0.12, 95% CI 0.01-0.22, P=.002) and combined aerobic and non-aerobic exergames (g=0.291, 95% CI 0.12-0.46, P=.002) demonstrated significant effects, but not in non-aerobic exergame. Among cognitive domains, memory (g=0.179, 95% CI 0.03-0.33, P=.021) and processing speed (g=0.337, 95% CI 0.31-0.37, P< .001) showed significant improvements.

CONCLUSIONS

Exergames provide significant cognitive benefits for community-dwelling older adults, with particularly strong effects for individuals with MCI. Combined aerobic and non-aerobic exergames appear most effective. These findings support the use of exergames as a practical tool for cognitive enhancement in community and residential environments.

BACKGROUND

The benefits of physical activity are well-established in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), yet most people with MS are insufficiently active.

OBJECTIVE

This article describes the study protocol for a randomized controlled trial designed to understand whether the ExerciseRx digital health platform improves physical activity, symptoms, and functioning in adults with MS.

METHODS

Participants are ambulatory adults with MS (N = 106) who engage in <150 minutes per week of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity. Enrolled participants are assigned to 26 weeks of ExerciseRx app use versus a waitlist control. ExerciseRx is a cloud-based, HIPAA-compliant software platform that was created for healthcare providers to support patients in physical activity for wellness. ExerciseRx collects physical activity data from the patient’s personal smartphone and translates it into actionable metrics on a dashboard that can be used within the electronic health records. ExerciseRx personalizes a graded progression in step count goals, and healthcare providers can monitor progress towards these goals and support patients by providing semi-automated weekly feedback and encouragement in meeting physical activity goals. The primary outcome is the change in average daily step count throughout the 12-week intervention. Secondary outcomes include symptoms (fatigue intensity, pain intensity, sleep, and depressive symptoms), patient-reported functional outcomes (physical functioning, fatigue interference, pain interference, falls, and social participation), and qualitative analysis of participant and provider interviews on ExerciseRx usability and acceptability.

RESULTS

Not applicable.

CONCLUSIONS

Results of this trial will provide important new information on the efficacy of an innovative digital health intervention tool for physical activity promotion.

CLINICALTRIAL

This clinical trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06270641.

toponimia glífica nahua y sus reminiscencias gráficas en los mapas nativos e indoespañoles del Acolhuacan meridional, ca. 1579-1613
Authors: Martínez González Daniel
Published: February 2025

El presente artículo tiene como propósito general dar cuenta de la vitalidad de la tradición cartográfica nativa y las formas de toponimia glífica en uno de los mapas códice procedentes de la región de Tezcoco, al noreste de la Ciudad de México. Asimismo, busca hacer notar el proceso mediante el cual ciertos topónimos glíficos en algunos otros mapas de tierras (también de la región) dejaron de pintarse y escribirse a la manera tradicional y comenzaron una suerte de fosilización gráfica a través de los últimos años del siglo xvi y las primeras décadas del xvii. La evidencia visual contenida en las creaciones cartográficas aquí apenas mencionadas sugiere que, aunque las formas nativas de nombrar los lugares —incluyendo mapas, planos indígenas, pintores, cuerpos de conocimiento y saberes teórico-prácticos—seguían vigentes incluso en fechas tardías respecto al siglo del contacto europeo-mesoamericano, en un lapso breve de tiempo los topónimos glíficos en los mapas de tierras dejaron de pintarse como signos de un sistema de escritura de tipo logosilábico. Se plantea que este fenómeno de fosilización de algunas de las formas gráficas de la toponimia tradicional se corresponde con la desaparición de los últimos cartógrafos entrenados en la mapística nativa y el advenimiento de una nueva cartografía plenamente novohispana.
A Lightweight Client-Driven 2D CNN-Based Video Summarization Framework
Authors: Reddy G. M. Dilip Kumar
Published: February 2025

Video summarization is an essential component of multimedia processing and computer vision, designed to condense
extensive video content while maintaining its key contextual elements. The rapid expansion of video data across domains such
as security surveillance, online media, and digital archiving necessitates the development of robust and efficient summa- rization
techniques. This paper introduces LTC-SUM, a novel client-driven framework that leverages 2D Convolutional Neural
Networks (CNNs) to generate adaptive, lightweight video sum- maries. Unlike traditional methods that rely on computationally
intensive processes or simplistic heuristic techniques, LTC-SUM efficiently extracts significant frames while minimizing
redundant information. The system is optimized for real-time applications and ensures low computational overhead. Extensive
evaluations demonstrate that LTC-SUM surpasses conventional techniques in performance and accuracy, effectively balancing
efficiency and contextual retention. Moreover, the framework’s adaptability extends its applicability to various fields, including
surveillance monitoring, educational content processing, and automated me- dia analysis.

Published: February 2025

The potential of the sharia economy in Indonesia, with a majority Muslim population, has a great opportunity to become the main driver of national economic growth. This study aims to analyze the main factors that drive the growth of the sharia economy, including government policies, public awareness, and adaptation of digital technology. Through qualitative research methods based on literature studies, it was found that strengthening regulations, technology-based product innovation, and sharia-based financial inclusion are key elements in building a sustainable sharia economic ecosystem. The government has a strategic role through policies such as the establishment of KNEKS, the merger of state-owned sharia banks, and the implementation of the Sharia KUR program. Although there are challenges such as limited infrastructure and low coordination between agencies, the implementation of the right strategy can optimize the potential of this sector. The results of the study show that collaboration between the financial sector, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and the government is able to encourage the competitiveness of the Indonesian sharia economy at the global level, while contributing to an inclusive and sustainable national economic transformation.

The article investigates intraspecific F1 hybrids of soft spring wheat in reciprocal crosses and
presents the results of the analysis of the effect of heterosis in the terms of productivity elements
(productive tilling capacity, number of grains in the ear, weight of grain from the main ear and from the plant). The studies were carried out at the Federal Scientific Center of Agrobiotechnologies of
the Far East Named after A. K. Chaika, Laboratory for Breeding Grain and Cereal Crops, in 2017-
2018. The following high productive varieties were used as parent forms: soft spring wheat - Primorskaya 39, Primorskaya 40, Primorskaya 50 (selection of the Federal Scientific Center of Agrobiotechnologies of the Far East Named after A. K. Chaika); soft winter wheat – Lebed and Aivina
(National Center of Grain Named after P. P. Lukyanenko). The research showed that the most valuable breeding combinations are those that have the following dominant characters in the F1: high
grain weight from the plant, number of grains in the ear, productive tilling capacity and weight of
grain from the main ear. The greatest effect of heterosis in the terms of productivity elements belongs
to hybrid combinations: Lebed×Primorskaya 39, Lebed× Primorskaya 40, Primorskaya 40×Aivina
Primorskaya 40 ×Lebed. Reciprocal crossing of winter and spring forms can be recommended for
application in the breeding programs for spring wheat to reach high productivity under the conditions
of Primorsky Krai.

One of the most important crops in the Russian Federation is soybean, due to its unique use in
various sectors of the national economy. It is planned to increase gradually the gross yield of this valuable crop
in the future, which is impossible without improving the agrotechnical component of cultivation and technical
modernization of harvesting machines. Noteworthy method of harvesting soya is a new method of plants stripping without cutting them down, which has proven itself well in the harvesting of cereals and some legumes.
Field studies were carried out by planning multi-factor experiment of plan 32
. Total losses caused by stripping header were chosen as the optimization criterion. As the result of the research carried out, it has confirmed that
the lowest losses are observed at the absolute velocity Vk ≈ 13-15 m/s and the translation movement velocity
of the tractor Vtr = 2-2.5 m/s. The design features of stripping combs do not affect the optimal absolute velocity,
at which losses are minimal. The use of triangular combs in the year 2019 showed the result close to 100%
exclusively in gathering beans from soy plants during stem stripping. The use of video recording and graphical
analysis has shown that the main losses are the losses of the lower beans of plants, which are thrown out by
combs forward along-track direction of the harvesting unit, where they collide with the plants being in front
of them and are lost. As the result of the research carried out, the structural and operational parameters of the
stripping header were confirmed and clarified, and design improvements were planned that would lead to a
subsequent reduction in losses during soybean stripping.

Nowadays the problem of country's food security is very relevant due to the introduction of various
levels of sanctions. In this regard, an important role in solving this issue is assigned to both large agricultural
producers and small ones. It is generally understood, that the share of small agricultural enterprises engaged
in the production of meat and milk all over the country amounts up to 20% of the total production volume. The
main limiting factor in the further development of small cattle farms is the lack of sufficient equipment for mechanization, especially, related to the preparation and distribution of feed. At present, the equipment for
mechanization produced by the industry are mainly focused on the farms with a large livestock. At the same
time, the farms with a small livestock mainly use manual labor for preparation and distribution of feed, which
in the end affects unit cost. This is a main deterrent to the opening of new farms with small livestock. The
Amur Region has large areas that are not used for agriculture and it also has a sufficient number of unemployed
capable people coming from reorganized and united farms. In this regard, the issue of reducing the labor intensity of the process of preparing and distributing feed at the farms with small livestock is very relevant now,
for it will give additional jobs in rural areas.

Currently, one of the priority trends for the development of animal husbandry in Yakutia is to find
ways to increase local production of meat products. One of the solutions to achieve food supply is the development of one of the precocious branches of animal husbandry in the region - sheep breeding. However, the
harsh conditions of Yakutia are a real challenge for the body of domestic sheep. The practice of animal husbandry in the Republic showed that there were experiments of sheep breeding in the region in different years,
but this industry has not been developed due to the low acclimatization of sheep to local breeding conditions.
Using hybridization of domestic sheep with wild bighorn sheep (Ovis nivicola lydekkeri), new breeding forms
of hybrid animals of the first generation were obtained Chubuku-sheep (ovchubuks (sheep x chubuku)) having
good adaptive qualities to local conditions. To ensure the normal growth and development of hybrid younganimals of the first generation, the optimal composition of the diet in the winter period was selected, taking
into account the nutritional characteristics of one of the original parent form - the wild bighorn sheep. The diet
of the experimental group in terms of composition and nutrition differed from the common diet designed for
young sheep, for diet of the experimental group contains non-traditional feeds in the form of cup moss and
feed of tree branches with 100% consumption.

Published: February 2025

With the advent of new media 5.0, national and ethnic identities in the Arab-Israeli conflict have been altered, and social media has become a crucial source of communication and information for both factions involved in the conflict. These platforms have raised questions about the influence of social media on the formation of national and ethnic identities during conflict. The objective of this paper is to examine the role of new media especially social media in shaping national and ethnic identities in the Arab-Israeli conflict. This paper will conduct a comprehensive review of existing literature and studies on the topic. The findings of this study revealed that new media has had a significant impact on shaping national and ethnic identities in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Social media platforms have provided a space for people on both sides of the conflict to express their opinions and connect with others who share their views. However, social media has also facilitated the spread of misinformation, propaganda, and hate speech, which has reinforced existing biases and deepened divisions between groups. The paper also highlights the potential of new media in supporting conflict resolution efforts, such as by facilitating dialogue and promoting understanding. The study suggest governments, media practitioners, and civil society players to handle new media concerns in the Arab-Israeli conflict. This involves fighting misinformation and hate speech, encouraging social media responsibility, and using new media to resolve conflicts.

The communication weaknesses of local graduates are often at the end of the pen of employers who interviewed prospective employees for their institutions. The feedback given by the employers has been brought to the attention of the Ministry of Higher Education. Therefore, the Ministry of Higher Education (KPT) introduced the Soft Skills Development Module as an initiative to apply human skills to students, especially communication skills. In connection with this, the university management has taken various steps and interventions to improve generic skills and one of them is communication skills. In addition, this study is conducted to identify issues of communication skills and its solutions to enhance these skills among AISUM students. Data is collected through documentation methods and questionnaires. Stratified random sampling is used to facilitate the distribution of survey forms to respondents consisting of 115 undergraduate students from various academic disciplines at AISUM. Statistical data analysis method benefitted the Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) software version 27.0. The findings show that the communication skills of AISUM students are at a moderate level based on student confidence and market capabilities. Communication skills monitoring workshops, active participation in various programmes such as public speaking, debates and others are significant solutions in improving communication skills. In conclusion, AISUM has encouraged the involvement of students in various programmes within and outside the campus as an effort to enhance their communication skills for their future endeavours.

This era of globalization has seen a great increase in Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in developing the country. It started as a small enterprise but has gradually developed in various social, economic and political fields. Each NGO moves in various forms depending on its own mission and purpose. Humanitarian NGOs are the most active NGOs in various countries and are the most important element in ensuring that the harmony of life is well preserved. This causes Malaysian NGOs to be involved in helping to channel humanitarian aid to the victims of the atrocities of the Zionist regime, namely the Palestinian people and the victims of the atrocities of the enemy of Islam in other countries. This study focuses on the Malaysian NGO movement Aman Palestin. The study will include several activities, policies and contributions given to the Palestinian people. The role of NGOs in fighting for the truth, raising awareness issues and providing assistance to some extent has opened the eyes of the whole world including some leaders to ensure that the Palestinian people's dream of achieving independence and freedom will come true one day.

A comunicação é fundamental para a sociedade e a acessibilidade atua na atenuação das barreiras que a impedem. A Ciência da Informação estuda a acessibilidade em ambientes digitais, com foco em interfaces e funcionalidades. No entanto, o conteúdo também precisa ser acessível. A linguagem clara e simplificada, aliada às funcionalidades digitais, pode tornar o conteúdo acessível a todos, incluindo pessoas com baixa escolaridade ou deficiência. A documentação governamental digital deve ser mais do que uma mera transposição dos documentos físicos para a internet. É preciso usar a hipermídia para tornar o conteúdo mais acessível. Este trabalho busca contribuir para a construção de uma documentação governamental digital mais acessível a todos os cidadãos.

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapies are effective treatment of severe diabetic retinopathy (DR) and macular edema, but a significant subset of people showed inadequate response to anti-VEGF intervention. Since elevation or overexpressing retinol binding protein 3 (RBP3) decreased risks for retinal pathologies and progression to severe DR, we compared the therapeutic profile of RBP3 and anti-VEGF to normalize retinal dysfunctions induced by diabetes. Intravitreous injection of recombinant human RBP3 (rhRBP3) and anti-VEGF antibodies (bevacizumab) inhibited retinal vascular permeability in Lewis rats induced by VEGF-A or after 2 months of diabetes induced by streptozotocin, in parallel with reductions of retinal VEGF and VEGFR2 expressions and tyrosine phosphorylation of VEGFR. Only rhRBP3 ameliorated diabetes induced reduction of neural retinal function, measured by electroretinogram. Further, rhRBP3 reduced retinal expressions of inflammatory cytokines (TNFα and IL6) in retinal pigmented epithelial and Müller cells exposed to hyperglycemia. Metabolic studies, using Seahorse, showed only rhRBP3 normalized retinal glycolytic rates in diabetic rats. Thus, both intravitreous anti-VEGF antibodies and RBP3 injections normalized retinal vascular dysfunctions caused by diabetes. Only RBP3 targeted both neural and vascular retina to reduce glycolytic rates, reversed neural-retinal dysfunctions, and reduced inflammatory cytokines induced by diabetes, to delay early changes of DR.
Safety of Dupilumab Therapy for Atopic Dermatitis during Pregnancy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Published: February 2025

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common skin condition among pregnant women. However, there is limited information on the safety of biologicals during pregnancy. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines to evaluate the effects of exposure to biologicals during pregnancy and/or preconception in women with AD, and to estimate the pooled prevalence of spontaneous abortions and congenital malformations in their newborns. MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science to 31 May 2024 were searched to identify randomized controlled trials and non-randomized studies. To test the robustness of our findings, sensitivity analyses were performed. Fifteen observational studies involving 115 pregnant women with a mean age of 33.46 years (standard deviation [SD] 3.02 were included). All studies evaluated dupilumab. The mean duration of exposure to dupilumab during pregnancy was 27.52 weeks (SD 11.16). The weighted prevalence of spontaneous abortions was 18.9% (95% confidence interval 5.3 to 38.2). There were no reports of congenital malformations. The sensitivity analyses showed no significant differences in weighted prevalences. In conclusion, the current scientific evidence suggests that dupilumab is probably safe during pregnancy and preconception in women with AD, with no significant increase in the risk of miscarriage or congenital malformations compared to the general population. However, the results of this review are inconclusive due to the limited number of large, well-designed clinical studies.

mente expandida do ponto de vista pragmaticista
Authors: Cavalcante Diego Frank Marques
Published: February 2025

Neste artigo, apresentamos algumas possíveis contribuições inferidas da Filosofia de Charles Sanders Peirce que podem fundamentar os estudos sobre as ciências psíquicas, especificamente as Teorias da Mente Expandida. Para isso, utilizamos o pragmaticismo de Peirce e seu conceito de mente. Segundo ele, a mente é intensiva, interativa, expandida e mutável. No processo da expansão mental existem conexões entre as cognições (quase-mentes) guiadas por quase-propósitos, que são atualizações da Causa Final (finious). Ela é uma potência de excitação que busca a ampliação da razoabilidade. O finious é intensificado a partir de estados de irritação, derivados dos atritos entre quase-mentes que estão em relação. Essas resistências são resolvidas por meio da geração e transformação de hábitos que ampliam e tornam mais complexas as mediações correlacionadas. Desta forma, o que era alteridade – por ação do hábito – passa a fazer parte de uma mente expandida. Do ponto de vista pragmaticista, as consequências experimentais do conceito de mente expandida devem ser: a emergência, a evolução e o acoplamento de regularidades materializadas em corpos heterogêneos. Do estudo dessas regularidades deve ser possível inferir: as associações de propósitos e mediações para a resolução da “irritação” das quase-mentes envolvidas em um processo de expansão mental. Cabe a um psicólogo investigador da mente expandida a atualização desses processos em contextos específicos.
Autonomia, liberdade e unidade nas leituras da Ciência da Lógica, e sua continuidade pelo Grupo Hegel e o idealismo especulativo – laboratório Hegel
Authors: Tassinari Ricardo Pereira , Silva Gabriel Rodrigues da , Sanazaria Guilherme Marcelo de Brito
Published: February 2025

Este artigo visa descrever sumariamente a forma e os resultados da participação do Grupo Hegel e o Idealismo Especulativo (GHIE) nos VI e VII Leituras da Lógica de Hegel 2022 e 2023 (VI e VII LLH). A motivação de elaborá-lo foi relatar os resultados positivos alcançados, em especial, devido a continuação do novo formato de estudo e pesquisa adotado pelo GHIE, a partir do IV Leituras da Lógica de Hegel 2020 – Homenagem aos 250 anos de nascimento de Hegel: Stuttgart 1770 – 2020 (IV LLH). Tais resultados foram: (1) os próprios seminários apresentados no GHIE, que foram gravados, bem como as apresentações nos VI e VII LLH; (2) os textos do VI LLH, publicados no livro no livro Ser Para Si: Dialética entre Idealidade e Realidade (organizado por A. Bavaresco, J. Tauchen, J. S. Jung; Porto Alegre, Editora Fundação Fênix, 2022), e os textos do VII LLH, publicados nesta revista, do qual este artigo faz parte; (3) a formação (Bildung) dos participantes, em especial, devido ao novo formato; (4) a continuidade de uma nova forma de proceder com os estudos e as pesquisas no GHIE, estabelecida desde sua participação no IV LLH. Aqui os dois últimos itens são destacados, principalmente devido aos resultados obtidos: (1) um profundo e intenso estudo e pesquisa do texto em questão pelos autores das apresentações; (2) a aquisição de mais autonomia e mais maturidade por esses autores; (3) um aprendizado e formação mais profundos dos participantes das apresentações (autores e comentadores); (4) o exercício de se trabalhar com diversas interpretações e buscar certa unidade; e (5) a continuidade pelo GHIE de uma nova forma de estudo e pesquisa, que foi incorporada e passou a influenciar as seguintes, em especial, quanto à participação nos VI e VII LLH. Portanto, estabeleceu-se e consolidou-se uma nova dinâmica, devido a todos essesresultados positivos elencados.
Modelos científicos
Authors: Horta Julio
Published: February 2025

Neste artigo vamos trabalhar as condições transcendentais que nos permitem caracterizar um modelo científico como um “diagrama”. Será retomada a noção de diagrama proposta por Ch. S. Peirce (2012) e retomadas as abordagens transcendentais da semiótica perceana para sustentar a função diagramática dos modelos na ciência. Para apoiar esta posição, alguns argumentos da semiótica pragmática e da semiótica transcendental também serão retomados. O objetivo deste artigo é dar conta do problema filosófico do esquematismo transcendental em I. Kant (2007) e da noção de esquema como fundamento do conhecimento.
