Vaksinasi COVID-19 merupakan salah satu kegiatan yang dilakukan untuk melindungi tubuh  dengan menciptakan respons antibodi (sistem kekebalan) dengan tujuan meminimalkan penularan virus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor yang berhubungan dengan penerimaan orang tua murid terhadap vaksin COVID-19 pada anak Sekolah Dasar usia (6-11 tahun). Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif non eksperimental. Populasi dalam penelitian adalah seluruh orang tua murid yang memiliki anak usia sekolah (6-11 tahun) di Kota Makassar yang dikategorikan layak mendapatkan vaksinasi, yaitu sekitar 264.000 orang dan besar sampel sebanyak 1.073 orang tua murid. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan, yaitu snowball sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar orang tua menerima vaksin anak 83,8% dibandingkan dengan yang menolak 12,6%. Ada lima alasan mengapa responden menerima vaksin. Alasan yang paling banyak, yaitu “Keinginan sendiri Karena sadar akan manfaat vaksin anak” sebesar (75,1%) atau sebanyak 675 orang, sedangkan alasan yang paling sedikit, yaitu “ikut-ikutan dengan orang tua murid yang lain” sebesar (0,1%) atau sebanyak satu orang dan terdapat enam alasan mengapa responden menolak vaksin. Alasan yang paling banyak, yaitu “Takut terhadap efek samping vaksin” sebesar (8%) atau sebanyak 86 orang, sedangkan alasan yang paling sedikit, yaitu “Karena dari lahir anak saya tidak pernah di vaksin” sebesar (0,3%) atau sebanyak 3 orang. Disarankan kepada seluruh pihak terkait agar saling bersinergi dalam melakukan sosialisasi terkait pentingnya vaksin COVID-19 pada anak sebagai salah satu upaya dalam mencegah dan menanggulangi penyebaran virus COVID-19.
The Synthesis of Empiricism and Innatism in Berkeley’s Doctrine of Notions
Authors: Hill James ,   Berkeley Studies
Published: June 2024

This essay argues that Berkeley’s doctrine of notions is an account of concept-formation that offers a middle-way between empiricism and innatism, something which Berkeley himself asserts at Siris 308. First, the widespread assumption that Berkeley accepts Locke’s conceptual empiricism is questioned, with particular attention given to Berkeley’s views on innatism and ideas of reflection. Then, it is shown that Berkeley’s doctrine of notions comes very close to the refined form of innatism to be found in Descartes’ later writings and in Leibniz. Finally, it is argued that Berkeley denies a principle common to both empiricism and innatism, namely, that all conceptual knowledge amounts to the perception of ideas. By denying this―at least in the case of the concepts of self, causation, substance, and virtue―Berkeley is able to provide a synthesis of conceptual empiricism and innatism.
The Importance of Idea Ontology
Authors: Hight Marc A. ,   Berkeley Studies
Published: June 2024

In my book Idea and Ontology I argue for a re-evaluation of how we read and engage early modern philosophy with respect to the so-called way of ideas. I contend that, despite current trends that emphasize epistemology as first philosophy, we need to retain the importance of ontology when interpreting and learning from the early moderns. In this piece, I respond to critical reviews of my book, deepening the discussion of several topics. The main topics include whether ideas are private to the finite minds that perceive them in Berkeley’s philosophy, the nature of modes in typical early modern ontologies, and issues regarding the charitable reading of other scholars.
Berkeley’s Metaphysics of Perception
Authors: Fields Keota ,   Berkeley Studies
Published: June 2024

In this reply, I use an act theory to explain divine ideas and Berkeley’s archetype–ectype distinction. I argue that divine ideas are acts of divine self-consciousness in reply to the objection that if divine ideas are acts, then for Berkeley they are acts without objects. The result is a much more plausible account of Berkeley’s archetype–ectype distinction than is available on representationalist interpretations. Lastly, while arguments from illusion are indispensable to representationalist theories, Berkeley’s rejection of arguments from illusion is evidence that he endorsed an act theory of ideas.
Berkeley and the Irish Enlightenment: How ‘Irish’ Are ‘We Irish’
Authors: Breuninger Scott C. ,   Berkeley Studies
Published: June 2024

The contemporary view of scholars that Berkeley’s legacy stems from his philosophical work has traditionally dominated discussions of his significance, despite the prolific nature of his writings. This disjunction between his reputation and historical interests can be addressed by locating Berkeley’s career within his Irish context(s) and examining those aspects of his career that have often been disregarded as immaterial to his philosophical projects. When seen from this perspective, the trajectory of Berkeley’s intellectual pursuits mirrored those of the broader Irish Enlightenment and represents an important contribution to this emerging field.
Unity, Diversity, and Order: National Religion in Berkeley’s Works 1735-1752
Authors: Szymańska-Lewoszewska Marta ,   Berkeley Studies
Published: June 2024

The article discusses Berkeley’s idea of how to promote the common good in Ireland in the first half of the 18th century when society differed in respect to religion, political obedience, language, and culture. More specifically, since religion was still the core of Berkeley’s vision of human well-being, the article contains a reconstruction of his views on religious diversity and tolerance, as they were discussed in his works published between the 1730s and 1750s, when he was Bishop in Cloyne and published his most practical works. They will be analyzed in order to present the meaning of an evolution in his attitude towards Irish Catholics during the period. My particular aim is to show that the ‘Good Bishop’ sincerely aimed at the conversion of their hearts to the ‘true religion’, despite his officially moderate attitude towards them after the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745.
Tracing Reid’s ‘Brave Officer’ Objection Back to Berkeley—And Beyond
Authors: Gordon-Roth Jessica ,   Berkeley Studies
Published: June 2024

Berkeley’s two most obvious targets in Alciphron are Shaftesbury and Mandeville. However, as numerous commentators have pointed out, there is good reason to think Berkeley additionally targets Anthony Collins in this dialogue. In this paper, I bolster David Berman’s claim that “Collins looms large in the background” of Dialogue VII, and put some meat on the bones of Raymond Martin and John Barresi’s passing suggestion that there is a connection between the Clarke–Collins correspondence, Alciphron, and the objection that Berkeley raises regarding persons and their persistence conditions therein. Specifically, I argue that we have evidence that Berkeley’s objection to consciousness–based views of personal identity, as found in VII.8, is a response to a challenge that Collins raises to Clarke in “An Answer to Mr. Clarke’s Third Defense of his Letter to Mr. Dodwell.” This is significant not just because this objection is usually—and consistently—taken to be an objection to Locke, but also because Berkeley’s objection works against Collins’s theory of personal identity in a way that it doesn’t against Locke’s.
Sweatshops and Exploitation
Authors: Balaji Ridhiman ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: June 2024

The paper examines how theoretical misunderstandings of Karl Marx’s theory of value have affected scholarly debates on sweatshops and labour-exploitation more broadly. Participants to these debates tend to overlook the distinction between the form of value and the substance of value. The paper further analyses problems with an exchange-based conceptualization of the labour-process, adopted by many sweatshop-defenders. Rather than posit Marx’s own perspective as the exclusively correct position, this paper seeks to foster a more informed dialogue on the issue of labour-exploitation in global sweatshops.
How are Pseudosciences Possible?
Authors: Bazhanov Valentin A. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: June 2024

The article has the goal to conceptualize the phenomenon of pseudoscience and its scope at the first quarter of the XXI century expires. The relevance, social and political importance of analyzing this phenomenon both at present and in historical retrospect in terms of studying the problem of demarcation of scientific and non-scientific knowledge emphasized. The existence of different types of scientific, quasi-scientific (deviant, proto-scientific) and non-scientific knowledge (pseudoscience, paranormal science, pseudoscience, shadow science) is pointed out. The expansion of pseudoscientific ideas in recent years, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as by the intensification of other global changes, described. The variety of pseudoscience making up, including pseudo-mathematics and pseudo-logic, described. The necessary attributes of scientific knowledge formulated and we consider pseudoscience as the alter ego of science. Attention drawn to the fact that the belonging of knowledge to pseudoscientific knowledge determined by the methods of obtaining this knowledge. The explanation of constant reproduction of pseudoscientific ideas from the cognitive point of view offered. Confidence is expressed that such ideas will be popular enough and can accompany mankind for a long time, which, however, does not at all reduce the significance of their analysis from the epistemology and philosophy of science perspective.
Meaning: Realism vs Skepticism
Authors: Ladov Vsevolod A. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: June 2024

A straight solution to Kripke’s problem proposed by Borisov is discussed in the article. The significance of the problem for modern philosophy of language and epistemology is established. Controversial aspects in Borisov’s study are analyzed. The main question is following. What solution to Kripke’s problem would be considered straight? It is argued that Borisov’s solution does not reach the level of a straight solution although it represents a significant step in this direction. The methodological importance of Borisov’s thesis that knowledge of meaning is not an interpretation of the facts of speech behavior is substantiated.
Skepticism, Straight Solution and Linguistic Frameworks
Authors: Surovtsev Valery A. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: June 2024

The article considers the straight solution of S. Kripke’s skeptical problem concerning the stability of linguistic meaning proposed by E.V. Borisov’s. The distinction between two kinds of introspection related to the knowledge of linguistic meaning is analyzed. The moderate solution of the skeptical problem as a basis for the straight solution is explored. It is suggested that R. Carnap’s conception of linguistic frameworks can be useful for the solution of skeptical problem.
Phenomenon of Intuitive Understanding of Speech Acts as a Solution to Kripke’s Problem
Authors: Zolotkov Grigory A. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: June 2024

The paper discusses a solution to Kripke’s skeptical problem proposed by E.V. Borisov. It shows that this solution is based on the idea of “introspection2”, i.e. intuitive knowledge of meaning, which: a) is an essential part of a speech act, b) is given in our immediate experience and c) doesn’t form a source of empirical facts. The author of the paper admits the significance of the proposed idea for the discussion of the skeptical problem. Nevertheless, he argues that: 1) as a point of the discussion the idea of introspection2 needs to be established more extensively; 2) this idea reinforces not a straight solution of the problem, but skeptical.
Illusionist Theory of Consciousness as a Development of Identity Theory of the Mental and the Physical
Authors: Gorbachev Maxim D. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: June 2024

A few years ago, an illusionist theory of consciousness appeared in the philosophy of consciousness. It makes an unexpected statement – there is actually no phenomenal consciousness, it is illusory. This illusion is created introspective distortion of physical processes in the brain, which seem to us to have special phenomenal properties. However, an equally strong form of physicalism in the philosophy of consciousness has already appeared more than fifty years ago – identity theory of the mental and physical. Moreover, the proponents of illusionism themselves admit their connection with the identity theorists. As a result, it is reasonable to ask whether illusionism is simply a modern adaptation of the identity theory, and not a new independent theory. This article is devoted to this issue. First, the author presents both theories, focusing on their key statements, arguments and advantages described by the followers of the respective approaches. Then the author makes a comparison, highlighting common places and differences for the approaches. Among the former, the following are noted: the physicalist spirit of both theories; their denial of the existence of a special mental properties metaphysically different from physical ones; argumentation in favor of the pragmatic attractiveness of a theory; defending their key theses as primarily hypotheses that may turn out to be true; a similar strategy for explaining the error, as a result of which we come to the conclusion about the existence of the mental. However, the author also points out a number of serious differences: different attitudes to the possibility of neutral notion for properties of experience; differences in the vision of the content of the mind-body problem; illusionist denial of the real referent of the language of phenomenality; the development of the concept of illusion, which entails a number of new solutions and problems; the epistemological significance of the main arguments of illusionism is more influential in comparison with identity theory. As a result, the author comes to the conclusion that, despite the fact that a significant part of the content of the theories coincides, illusionism has a number of key differences. This testifies, on the one hand, to the skillful use of past achievements of the physicalist-oriented philosophy of consciousness, and, on the other, to the fundamental novelty and independence of illusionism.
Philosophy of Social Intercourse and Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Rezaev Andrey V. , Tregubova Natalia D. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: June 2024

The paper aims to analyze three discussions pertaining to the artificial intelligence project that took place on both sides of the “Iron Curtain” since the 1960s: 1) E.V. Ilyenkov – D.I. Dubrovsky (USSR), 2) H. Dreyfus – computer scientists (USA), 3) H. Dreyfus – H. Collins (USA – UK). The authors observe the originality of the arguments of Soviet philosophers in comparison with the discussions in the US and UK. The basis for a comparative analysis of these discussions is the typology of social intercourse paradigms, which assumes the existence of three fundamentally different views of humans as social beings: the information-instrumental, the existential-phenomenological, and the social-institutional paradigms. These views correlate with the ideas about humans within different theoretical structures examining artificial intelligence. The information-instrumental paradigm poses the problem of social intercourse regarding communication, material, and informational exchange (D.I. Dubrovsky, computer scientists). The social-institutional paradigm considers social intercourse as personification, actualization, and implementation of the structural characteristics of social relations (E.V. Ilyenkov). The existential-phenomenological paradigm characterizes social intercourse as the realization of the internal potency of a self-conscious individual (H. Dreyfus). The paper exposes that the theoretical and methodological foundations of the discussions under consideration are similar to the paradigmatic foundations of the analysis of social intercourse in social philosophy and social sciences. There are “two and a half floors” in the research of problems associated with the entry of artificial intelligence technologies into the everyday life of society: 1) philosophy, computer and cognitive sciences; 2) social sciences; 3) interdisciplinary research. A particular paradigmatic structure and a unique research problem characterize each of them. In conclusion, “new old questions” are highlighted that structure the field of contemporary social analytics for studying artificial intelligence and artificial sociality.
The Importance of Examples in the Philosophy of Carl Hempel
Authors: Serkova Vera A. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: June 2024

The purpose of the article is to analyze the meaning of examples in C. Hempel’s works. Hempel uses many examples referring to readings of magnetic hand, burning of white phosphorus, predictions of properties of some elements of the table of Mendeleev, to astrophysical hypotheses, terms of total solar eclipse, throwing of dice, as well as on unmarried men, on white and black swans, green mermaids, black crows and white shoes, blue roses, predictions of Jones’ recovery, the eruption of Vesuvius, the assassination of Julius Caesar, and other “special cases” and “concrete facts”. The question is raised as to whether the case studies are mere illustrative material, a form of argumentation; a way of verifying Hempel’s ideas, their “demonstrable confirmation”, and in this sense a definite empirical basis for the study. The necessity of analyzing concrete examples in the context of Hempel’s theoretical research is shown, for which the examples turn out to be an occasion for investigating the logic of confirmation and the logic of explanation, for analyzing the structures of explanans and explanandum, for understanding the differences in inductive and deductive logical constructions, and for analyzing “quasi-induction”. The paper discusses Hempel’s famous example, the crow paradox, which is named in his honor and is a kind of logical provocation.

Authors: S Mr. Arun Prasad , G H Mr. Ram Ganesh , R Dr. Aghila
Published: June 2024

In agriculture, machine learning has become a crucial area of research, particularly in the analysis and forecasting of crop yields.. With the ever-increasing complexity of agricultural data, deciphering valuable underlying patterns becomes challenging for traditional approaches. However, by harnessing machine learning strategies, we can automatically access and comprehend these intricate patterns. In this study, we investigate the predictability of pesticide usage in various countries using the quantity of pesticides used annually from 1990 to 2016 through the implementation of a linear regression model. This research focuses on predicting pesticide usage for crop yield using a comprehensive agricultural dataset collected from kaggle.com. Our methodology involves employing regression analysis to assess the accuracy and effectiveness of yield predictions for crops with the quantity of pesticides used in various countries. We establish relationships between variables such as valuetonnes of active ingredients used and year of crop yield. The implications of this study are significant for farmers who seek to conceptualize their expected yields during the growing season. By accurately measuring the potential pesticide usage from different years, farmers can make informed decisions and mitigate losses. The financial impact of crop yield on farmers is considerable, making the predictive power of our regression model a valuable tool for avoiding potential setbacks. Throughout this research paper, we meticulously examine the accuracy of our regression-based predictions, which has broader implications for enhancing crop yield forecasting in the agricultural sector

MYCOTOXICOSIS- A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON MYCOTOXIN-INDUCED TOXICITIES AND DISEASES
Authors: B Sujatha , G Dhanalakshmi , S Nethra
Published: June 2024

Mycotoxins are one of the most commonly found toxins distributed in the environment everywhere. Recent investigations reveal that nearly 300 to 400 types of mycotoxins exist today. Mycotoxicosis is a severe pathological condition caused by Mycotoxins. There are several types of mycotoxins released by various fungi, and different fungi can release the same kind of Mycotoxins. Some of the best examples are aflatoxins, trichothecenes, citrinin, patulin, ergot alkaloids, fumonisins, patulin, and ochratoxins. Mycotoxins are capable of causing severe diseases ranging from allergies to acute infection in various hosts, including humans and animals. They enter into the food chain by infecting the crops. Many intrinsic and extrinsic factors easily aid the organism in infecting the crops. The reason behind releasing the toxin is unknown, but it helps the organism to increase inside the host and compromises the host's immune system. They often colonize cereals, legumes, oilseeds, nuts, animal products, poultry, and dairy products. The main route of entry is through contaminated food products. Once they gain access to the living system, they will establish themselves in the target organs like the liver and the central nervous system through blood and lymph, exerting systemic and local toxicity. The present book chapter emphasizes the importance of mycotoxin-induced toxicity and its prevention

CELL FUSION
Authors: rahangdale Dr. Chetna
Published: June 2024

Cell fusion has been used as a traditional technology for various purposes including gene mapping and production of antibodies. Notably, cell fusion between embryonic stem cells and somatic cells demonstrates that the somatic nucleus is conferred pluripotency through epigenetic reprogramming induced by the activity of trans-acting factors derived from embryonic stem cells. Cell fusion procedures can be employed in the lab to examine cellular functions and produce hybrid cells with distinctive properties. For instance, scientist’s can combine immunological and cancer cells to create hybridoma cells those producemonoclonal antibodies for both scientific and therapeutic objectives. Similar to this, somatic cell and stem cell fusion can produce pluripotent cells that have the capacity to develop into numerous types of cells. Specialized fusion proteins, chemical processes, electric fields, and other techniques can all be used to create artificial cell fusion. With the aid of these procedures, cell membranes and cytoplasm can merge more easily, creating a single, hybrid cell that contains both genetic material and other cellular components. Overall, cell fusion is an essential biological process that happens spontaneously in the body and may also be used for research. It has important ramifications for research on biotechnology, regenerative medicine, and developmental biology.

FUTURISTIC ROLE OF ISOKINETIC IN DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF REHABILITATION IN DIABETIC PATIENT: A HOLISTIC APPROACH
Authors: Khan Roshta , Afreen Farheen Nisha , Parveen Zeba , Siddiqui Anam , Khan Shaila
Published: June 2024

There is sufficient evidence that people with diabetes have significantly reduced maximal muscle power in their lower limbs compared to healthy controls. The muscular strength of the knee flexor and extensor was reported to have decreased by 17% and 14%, respectively, by the authors. A decrease in walking activity has also been associated with neuropathy and weaker muscles, which can also result in balance impairment and inadequate gait control. People with DM are more likely to fall because of deteriorating sensory capacity and the significance of Sensory inputs from the periphery in modulating the stability of gait. Because of the aforementioned, it is essential to assess a patient's strength to ascertain how effectively they are controlling their diabetes.
RECENT ADVANCEMENTS IN ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES OF FEMALE ATHLETE TRIAD: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Ali Syed Adeeba , Zaidi Sahar , Parveen Huma , Wali Afsha , Khan Anam
Published: June 2024

This abstract provides an overview of recent advancements in assessment techniques of female athlete triad. Female participation in sports is on the rise worldwide, yielding positive health benefits. However, it has also led to specific health issues. The female athlete triad, identified in 1992 by the American College of Sports Medicine, encompasses disordered eating, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis. Inadequate energy intake, resulting from restricted diet or high expenditure, contributes to menstrual and bone density problems. Athletes in sports emphasizing leanness or low weight are particularly susceptible. Timely detection and prevention are vital for addressing triad disorders. Treatment involves restoring energy intake to appropriate levels (30 kcal.kg-1.d-1) to normalize metabolism. Those involved in female athletics must prioritize educating, recognizing, and treating at-risk athletes. On-going research about the triad disorders aids in crafting prevention and treatment approaches, enabling women to benefit from exercise throughout their lives. This review aims to examine the latest assessment tools for the triad and evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapeutic interventions.
