Notas sobre o sentido da educação de Sofia no Emílio de Rousseau
Authors: Moosburger Udo Baldur
Published: August 2023

Apesar do que se lê comumente nas interpretações aferentes, a concepção rousseauana da educação de Sofia não é nem anômala, nem secundária nem puro reflexo da condição feminina em seu tempo. Rousseau concebe a educação de Sofia a partir de algumas teses antropológicas fundamentais, notadamente a de que a determinação do feminino não é trivial para uma concepção da natureza humana. Em particular, o elemento feminino do humano introduz na determinação deste último a característica de socialidade. A partir deste ponto, torna-se inteligível um dos momentos cruciais do pensamento de Rousseau, a saber, o da conexão essencial de natureza e de socialidade no ser humano.
O “DESAPARECIMENTO DO AUTOR” COMO ABERTURA PARA O PENSAMENTO EM BLANCHOT E FOUCAULT
Authors: Pavini Renan
Published: August 2023

O presente artigo defende a hipótese de que Blanchot e Foucault, ao se alinharem à ideia que Mallarmé e Proust haviam semeado no final do século XIX e início do século XX (“a indiferença por quem fala ou escreve”), trazem um movimento de resistência, em dois níveis: no primeiro, às reduções da obra por uma psicologia do autor e, consequentemente, às teorias do gênio romântico; no outro, ao se distanciarem das análises psicopatológicas, encontraram na arte uma aliada para seus próprios pensamentos. Foucault e Blanchot não fazem mais tratados estéticos, como tradicionalmente encontramos em Baumgarten, Kant ou Hegel, mas encontram na arte e na literatura saberes irredutíveis a todo saber, possibilidades de pensamento que permitem escapar das categorias tradicionais. Vendo a arte e a literatura como aliadas, eles retiram delas toda a carga psicológica que, desde a institucionalização da autoria, oportunizou sua apreensão pela psiquiatria.

Over the past decade, ketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, has demonstrated fast-acting antidepressant effects previously unseen with monoaminergic-based therapeutics. Concerns regarding psychotomimetic effects limit the use of ketamine for certain patient populations. Reelin, an extracellular matrix glycoprotein, has shown promise as a putative fast-acting antidepressant in a model of chronic stress. However, research has not yet demonstrated the changes that occur rapidly after peripheral reelin administration. To address this key gap in knowledge, male Long–Evans rats underwent a chronic corticosterone (CORT; or vehicle) paradigm (40 mg/kg, 21 d). On day 21, rats were then administered an acute dose of ketamine (10 mg/kg, i.p.), reelin (3 µg, i.v.), or vehicle. Twenty-four hours after administration, rats underwent behavioral orin vivoelectrophysiological testing before killing. Immunohistochemistry was used to confirm changes in hippocampal reelin immunoreactivity. Lastly, the hippocampus was microdissected from fresh tissue to ascertain whole cell and synaptic-specific changes in protein expression through Western blotting. Chronic corticosterone induced a chronic stress phenotype in the forced swim test and sucrose preference test (SPT). Both reelin and ketamine rescued immobility and swimming, however reelin alone rescued latency to immobility.In vivoelectrophysiology revealed decreases in hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) after chronic stress which was increased significantly by both ketamine and reelin. Reelin immunoreactivity in the dentate gyrus paralleled the behavioral and electrophysiological findings, but no significant changes were observed in synaptic-level protein expression. This exploratory research supports the putative rapid-acting antidepressant effects of an acute dose of reelin across behavioral, electrophysiological, and molecular measures.

Published: August 2023

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of pomegranate and grape seed extracts on the shelf life of goose meat samples stored in refrigerator conditions. Seven different sample groups were created including control (C), pomegranate seed extracts (PSE1, PSE2), grape seed extracts (GSE1, GSE2), and antioxidants (BHA, BHT). Prepared goose meat sample groups were stored under refrigerator conditions for 10 days and lipid oxidation, moisture, pH and color properties were analyzed during this period. The extracts decreased the TBA values of the samples compared to the control group (P<0.05). Antioxidative effects of synthetic antioxidants and extracts added to goose meat samples were determined as BHA > GSE2 = GSE1 = PSE2 = BHT > PSE1, respectively. Grape and pomegranate seed extracts have strong antioxidant activity, and it can be recommended that these extracts can be used as natural antioxidants in the preservation of goose meat.
Theoretical and methodological fundamentals of modeling processes of outflow of investment resources from the national economy
Authors:   Institute of market problem and economic-ecological research of the NAS of Ukraine, Laiko Oleksandr
Published: August 2023

Based on the analysis of existing definitions of capital outflows from the national economy, methods and approaches to assessing the processes of capital outflows, it is proposed to choose as an object of study the phenomenon of unproductive capital outflow, which is defined as the export of financial resources in the form of direct, portfolio or other investments abroad, as a result of which the investment process of the national economy loses the necessary resources for functioning. An econometric model of the dependence of unproductive capital outflow on gross domestic product is formed and the method of trend approximation based on the power function is applied. The results of the study allowed us to conclude that without a real change for the better support of strategic investors in Ukraine, more growth of gross product in the national economy will lead to more of its export.

Workplace accidents and injuries are among the most important preventable health problems worldwide. In custom workshops, there are potential hazards that come from their work processes which consist of welding, painting, and finishing. Risk management systems are mostly not implemented in informal sectors such as car paint and welding workshops. The research was carried out to identify and analyze potential hazards in the Custom Garage. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. Data collection and processing techniques in this study were direct observation and interviews with leaders and owners of the Custom Garage. The research was conducted using the HIRAC (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Control) sheet instrument. Based on the results of hazard identification, there are 13 work process activities with 47 types of work risks with 15 risks that are included in the high category. The potential risk of accidents in the high category includes inhaling rust dust and residual welding fume, inhaling the smell of toxic substances such as rust, car paint, putty, thinner, and poxy, and there is a high potential for noise hazard.

Authors: Fotinopoulos Paula , Corry June , Ping Ng Sweet , Dunning Jonathan , Lyons Bernard , Xing Daniel T.
Published: August 2023

Introduction: To investigate the impact of nasal packing on radiotherapy dosimetry for nasal and paranasal sinus cancers treated with intensity modulate radiotherapy (IMRT) or volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) technique. Methods: A prospective database identified all patients with primary nasal and paranasal sinus cancers treated with adjuvant radiotherapy. All patients were simulated using CT scanning with packing in the nasal cavity. For this study the nasal packing was contoured and assigned an electron density equivalent to air. The dose to the pre-operative gross tumour volume (GTV), planned tumour volume (PTV) and organs-at-risk (OAR) were re-calculated and compared to those with nasal packing, using both the Pinnacle (Collapsing Cone Convolution) and Monaco (Monte Carlo) planning systems. Results: 24 patients were identified, predominantly ethmoid (14) or maxillary (4) primaries. The predominant histology was SCC (12/24). The majority (22/24) were treated with curative intent. Using Collapsing Cone Convolution calculation, the median [range] coverage of 95% of prescribed dose to high-dose PTV (95.5% [92.2-98.5%] vs 95.2% [92.1-98.5%]; packing vs no packing, P=1.00) and low-dose PTV (95.8% [90.0-99.4%] vs 95.9% [91.1-99.7%]; packing vs no packing, P=1.00) were not impacted by packing the nasal cavity. There was also no impact by no packing on the maximal dose to the brainstem, optic nerves, optic chiasm nor lens. Conclusions: Packing of nasal cavity does not change the dose to the PTVs or critical OARs in patients with nasal and paranasal sinus cancers treated with adjuvant IMRT or VMAT radiotherapy and can be safely omitted.

Purpose of the study: Explore the role of MRI in the diagnosis of Charcot foot in patients with active diabetic osteoarthropathy. Material and methods research: 35 patients (prospectively) with type 2 diabetes mellitus and Charcot foot in the active phase were examined in the period 2022-2023 at the Acad. Y.H. Turakulova, in the department reconstructive plastic surgery of complications of diabetes mellitus. The control group consisted of 20 people with type 2 diabetes mellitus without Charcot foot in compensation. Of the 35 patients, there were 28 men and 7 women. Average age: men was 64.12 ± 5.8 years, women - 62.15 ± 4.6 years. The duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus ranged from 17 to 20 years. Research methods included: biochemical, hormonal and instrumental: ECG, MRI of the feet, ultrasound of the internal organs, DECA of the body, fundus. Research results: All patients were in a state of carbohydrate metabolism decompensation. In addition, pathological changes in bone tissue increased as the average values ​​of glycated hemoglobin increased. As the level of carbohydrate metabolism decompensation increased, the degree of bone tissue recovery decreased (inverse correlation). Conclusions: 1. An early symptom on MRI with Charcot foot was the presence ofconcavity of the articular surface of the talus against the background of sclerosis in the talonavicular joint. 2. Pathological changes in the bone tissue increased as the average values ​​of the level of glycated hemoglobin increased. 3. A direct correlation was found between the MRI parameters in Charcot foot and the HbA1c level: as the level of carbohydrate metabolism decompensation increased, the degree of bone tissue recovery decreased.
The artistic and temporal representations of the tarot and social relationships through the crazy arcanum
Authors: da Silva Rafael Souza , Parreiras Gallegos Raphael Augusto
Published: August 2023

The present work aims to understand the intrinsic connection between the Tarot card game, based mainly on its temporal artistic representations, and the relations of the social game. Starting from the point of iconographic and iconological research of the arcanum The Fool, we sought to correlate it with some historical clippings of Western society, in order to interpret it as an archetype and semiotic element within its archetypal perceptions and the actions of the human being in society. The aim was, then, to understand human narratives over the centuries through the prism of artistic representations of this game shrouded in mysteries as to its origin and its great – although contradictorily discreet – presence in different cultures and spiritual and analytical segments.

Authors: Toomey Vanessa , Klein Margret J. , Vidmar Alaina P. , Chao Lily C. , Pineda Jose , Bhalla Anoopindar
Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVES

Admissions to the ICU for children with hyperglycemic crisis (HGC, defined as diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome, or hyperosmolar ketoacidosis) increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. We sought to identify if severity of illness for HGC also increased from prepandemic to pandemic years 1 and 2.

METHODS

Retrospective study of children aged ≤18 years hospitalized in the Pediatric Health Information System for HGC. Pre-COVID-19 years were defined as March 2017–February 2020, COVID-19 year 1 as March 2020–February 2021, and COVID-19 year 2 as March 2021–February 2022. The primary outcome was ICU admission. Secondary outcomes included mortality, length of stay, cost, and use of neurologic therapies, mechanical ventilation, or vasoactive support.

RESULTS

There were 46 425 HGC admissions to 42 hospitals, 20 045 (43.2%) of which were ICU admissions. In comparison with pre-COVID-19, children admitted in COVID-19 year 1 (odds ratio, 1.31 [95% confidence interval, 1.25–1.38], P < .0001) and year 2 (odds ratio, 1.17 [95% confidence interval, 1.11–1.22], P < .0001) had a higher odds of ICU admission in multivariable modeling after controlling for confounding variables. Severity of illness was higher during COVID-19 years when considering secondary outcomes, although these associations were not consistent across outcomes and year. There was no difference in mortality.

CONCLUSIONS

Children with HGC had a higher severity of illness during the pandemic which was sustained over 2 years. Reduction in social distancing and evolving variants of SARS-CoV-2 over the 2 years of the pandemic did not significantly alter the relationship between HGC and higher requirement for ICU care.
The Contextualization of Hadith Regarding the Prohibition of Damaging Corpses in the Law of Autopsy
Authors: Hardivizon Hardivizon , Firdaus Firdaus , Syarif Makmur
Published: August 2023

This study aims to review the hadiths regarding the prohibition of damaging corpses and contextualize them with the law of autopsy. The approach used is the hermeneutics offered by Hassan Hanafi in understanding the text of revelation as a legal source. This approach involves building three types of awareness: 1) historical awareness (asy-syu'ur at-tarikhy), 2) eidetic awareness (asy-syu'ur at-ta'ammuli), and 3) praxis awareness (asy-syu'ur al-'amali). The findings of this study are as follows: 1) there are two hadiths that contain the prohibition of damaging corpses, the first narrated by Muslim, and the second by Abu Daud; 2) both hadiths that prohibit damaging corpses are of high quality (sahih); 3) the prohibition of damaging corpses applies in normal situations, but in emergencies, the use of body parts of the deceased according to necessity is allowed; 4) autopsy, whether for autopsy purposes or as a learning tool for medical students, is categorized as an emergency need and is therefore permissible according to Islamic law
Considering Modern Shia Thoughts on Religious Harmony: Husain Faḍlullah’s Contribution in Min Waḥy al-Qur’an
Authors: Fawaid Ahmad , Hidayatullah Adi Rahmat
Published: August 2023

This article aims to reveal Muhammad Husein Faḍlullah’s ideas about Religious Harmony as contained in his commentary, min waḥy al-Qur’an. Faḍlullah’s thoughts are relevant to study in the current context to see the idea of harmony from a different perspective, namely the Modern Shia school. By using a qualitative paradigm with a critical discourse analysis approach to Faḍlullah’s works, this study found two findings: first, Modern Shia consistently offers the concept of Ijtimā’ī Adabī interpretation which is centered on the ideas of tolerance, harmony between religious communities, social holiness, and rejection against all forms of radicalism; second, Interpretation products are inseparable from ideological ideas and teachings of their schools. At this point, even though Faḍlullah is involved in the political movement of the Hezbollah Party, which tends to be radical, his thoughts still represent his school of thought, especially regarding religious tolerance and harmony. From these findings, this study also wants to emphasize that a person’s background does not directly influence the product of his thoughts in the future, as stated by Naṣr Ḥamid Abū Zayd. This research supports Andrew Silke and Tinka Veldhuis’s findings regarding “Countering violent extremism in prisons: A review of key recent research and critical research gaps” that the personal character and personal experience factors of the author determine the product of one’s interpretation

Next, the hypothesis test is carried out. The results showed that the results of the first correlation test that had been carried out had a relationship between the Grade Point Average and the student's comprehensive score. From data analysis through correlation analysis, it obtained 0.318 with a coefficient of determination of 10.112%. It means that there is a relationship between the Grade Point Average and the student's comprehensive score. This shows that the relationship between GPA and the compressive score is positive even though it is weak. The second correlation test which was carried out did not show any relationship between the length of study and the student's comprehensive score. From the analysis of the data through correlation analysis, it was obtained -0.278 which indicated that the relationship between the length of study and the compression value had a negative score and had weak relationship strength. Based on the third hypothesis test that has been carried out there is no relationship between the Grade Point Average (GPA) and the length of study with the student's comprehensive score.

Authors: Dalgıç B. , Demir N.
Published: August 2023

Synthesis of nanoparticles can be long and costly processes using physical and chemical methods. Biological synthesis of nanoparticles is known to be cheaper and easier than other methods. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNP) were obtained by biological synthesis, also known as green synthesis, using Sorghum bicolor var. technicum (Körn) Stapf ex Holland seed extract, popularly known as sorghum. AgNPs were characterised by SEM, EDS, TEM, FT-IR, and UV-Vis Spectroscopy. SEM images confirmed that the shape of AgNPs was spherical. TEM analysis showed that the average sizes of AgNPs ranged from 51 to 56 nm. EDS analysis confirmed the presence of AgNPs by detecting a silver ion peak at 3 KeV. UV-Vis spectroscopy analyses indicated that the brown-burgundy colour of AgNPs exhibited maximum absorbance at 450 nm. The biological activities of the extract and AgNPs were investigated through antimicrobial, antibiofilm, antioxidant, mutagenic, and DNA cleavage activity analyses. The extract exhibited the highest MIC value against Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis (0.62 μg mL−1), whereas AgNPs demonstrated the highest antimicrobial activity specifically against Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli (0.31 μg mL−1). The antibiofilm results revealed that the extract displayed the highest percentage of biofilm inhibition against B. subtilis, while AgNPs exhibited notable efficacy against both Candida albicans yeast and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium. The antioxidant activities were evaluated using DPPH• and ABTS•+ methods, and it was determined that both samples had high antioxidant activity. Mutagenicity of the extract and AgNPs were evaluated by the Ames/Salmonella test using two strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98 and TA100). The mutagenic activity of the extract increased depending on the concentration for both strains, while AgNP did not show mutagenicity at any concentration. The agarose gel electrophoresis method showed that the extract and AgNPs cleaved DNA in the presence of an oxidising agent.

Published: August 2023

In this study, a water-soluble novel polysaccharide called TPS was successfully prepared and isolated from Liubao tea. The optimal extraction conditions resulted in a yield of 10.70% for the crude TPS. The purified TPS exhibited unique physicochemical properties and structural characteristics. It was identified as an acidic polysaccharide with trace binding proteins, with a →4)-α-D-Galp-(1→) residue. The purified TPS had a dense and uneven appearance, potential crystallisation characteristics, and structural stability. Importantly, it demonstrated the ability to inhibit glucose transport in Caco-2 cells by down-regulating the expression of sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) and glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2), leading to a hypoglycemic effect. These findings highlight the potential of TPS from Liubao tea as a functional food or additive with hypoglycaemic properties.

The Concept of Price Mechanism in The Halal Industry Refers to The Thought of The Price Concept of Yahya Bin Umar and Ibnu Taimiyah
Authors: Hakim Ahmad Luqman , Janwari Yadi , Jubaedah Dedah , Athoillah Anton
Published: August 2023

The price mechanism in the halal industry has an important role in determining the value and price of halal products. The concept of pricing mechanism in Islam has been initiated by the thinkers Yahya bin Umar and Ibn Taymiyyah. The purpose of this study is to find out how the relationship between the pricing mechanisms of the two Islamic thinkers in the halal industry. Descriptive analytical with qualitative research methods and a historical approach are used in this research. As a result, Yahya bin Umar and Ibn Taymiyyah's approaches to the pricing mechanism provide different perspectives but are in line with the context of healthy and fair pricing. Yahya bin Umar views that prices are determined by the ideal market mechanism, while Ibn Taymiyyah emphasizes the importance of healthy competition and wise government intervention. The price mechanism in the halal industry should reflect the intrinsic value of the product, ensure fairness in transactions, and support the sustainability of the industry. The government can use the price mechanism to set a minimum price or ensure halal products meet certain standards. Fair and competitive pricing will enable wider access to halal products and maintain consumer confidence over a longer period.
Finding a conceptual approach to developing an architecture of general-purpose services for economic researches
Authors: Lumpova Tetyana , Kasianchuk Ihor
Published: August 2023

The object of research is the architecture of general-purpose services for economic researches. The excessive popularity of service-oriented architecture implementations has led to consideration of the application of this approach in the production of organizations engaged in processing statistical and economic information for analytical research. This is due to the possibility of reusing services, each of which is designed to perform specific statistical functions, and the availability of design solutions for compiling these functions into a program for implementing a statistical task solution, using orchestration as a basis for dynamic service calls.
The paper proposes an approach to the development of external statistical services as a set of software products for solving analytical tasks by groups of independent researchers. Since such researchers do not have sufficient financial support, the use of external statistical services will allow them to conduct an in-depth analysis of their research results. The proposed approach assumes that such a service should have its typical data storage structure with fixed types and attributes, to which the researcher imports their own data, selects a calculation execution scheme, initializes their execution, and receives results. Taking into account this storage scheme, the authors have identified the main groups of metadata necessary to describe the implementation of the statistical process. A statistical business process typically consists of a set of procedures that implement certain statistical operations and data transformations, and the provided set of metadata allows for the realization of the process goal and activity.
Issues that require further in-depth research for the practical implementation of the proposed idea have been identified. The use of service-oriented architecture for building statistical processes allows for standardizing the approach by unifying the functions of individual services. The availability of possibilities for practical implementation of software products in a service-oriented architecture using a cloud environment in modern IT industry serves as a guide for further research direction.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to assess the evidence of reliability and convergent construct validity of the King’s Parkinson’s Disease Pain Questionnaire. Methods: psychometric study of 75 older adults with Parkinson’s disease. The instrument was applied by two researchers separately and reapplied by one researcher 15 days later. In terms of reliability, internal consistency was assessed using the Cronbach’s alpha test and stability using the intraclass correlation coefficient. Scores of the King’s Parkinson’s Disease Pain Questionnaire were compared to those of the Geriatric Pain Measure in the assessment of construct validity. Results: the mean Cronbach’s alpha obtained between the three assessments was above 0.60, the intraclass correlation between the three assessments was above 0.90, and there was a weak but significant correlation between the two applied scales. Conclusions: the instrument showed adequate evidence of convergent construct validity and reliability, and can be used in clinical practice.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to determine the correlation between nursing students’ level of knowledge and attitudes toward COVID-19 prevention behavior. Methods: a cross-sectional study was carried out at the Private University in Indonesia. Accidental sampling was used to select 188 third-year bachelor’s nursing students as respondents. Data collection was conducted through an online questionnaire (Cronbach’s Alpha 0.799-0.959) consisting of 27 questions. The data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Results: as many as 49.5 % of respondents had high knowledge, 98.4 % had a positive attitude, and 89.9 % had positive behavior in preventing COVID-19 transmission. The Chi-square test revealed that knowledge has no correlation with COVID-19 prevention behavior (p-value 0.864), but attitude did (p-value 0.027). Conclusions: nursing students’ attitudes are related to behavior in preventing COVID-19. Nursing students are expected to maintain positive attitudes and behaviors toward COVID-19 prevention as future health workers at the forefront of health services.
Reflexões sobre a progressividade da política previdenciária no Brasil: uma contribuição ao debate

Published: August 2023

RESUMO Este artigo traz uma reflexão sobre a progressividade da política previdenciária no Brasil, com base no debate entre Hoffmann (2021) e Cardoso et al. (2021a, 2021b) feito na REP. As dimensões de adequação e equidade devem ocupar espaço proeminente nesta análise. A literatura empírica, por meio do cálculo da Taxa de Reposição e a Taxa Interna de Retorno, traz evidências de que as aposentadorias do RGPS apresentam progressividade para as dimensões de renda, sexo, escolaridade e espécie de benefício. Já para o RPPS da União, há evidências menos claras de progressividade quanto ao sexo, e evidências de regressividade quanto à renda.
The historical roots of neoliberalism: origin and meaning
Authors: NOFAL SULAFA
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT Neoliberalism has succeeded in reaching unprecedented levels of power and domination. Despite this, the literature shows that many aspects of the history of neoliberalism remain unclear. In this regard, this article discusses two notable aspects. The first is that neoliberalism lacks a clear definition and is often confused with many other concepts. The second aspect relates to the origins of neoliberalism, which are often reduced to a particular version that does not necessarily reflect the deep roots of neoliberal thought. This article argues that subjecting the history of neoliberal thought to scrutiny contributes to removing many of the ambiguities associated with these two aspects. On the one hand, it allows identifying the different interpretations of neoliberalism, and on the other hand, it shows the fact that neoliberalism emerged in the midst of the crisis of classical liberalism and as a reaction to the expansion of collectivism.
Fritz Redlich and the entrepreneur as God and demon
Authors: ALMEIDA RAFAEL GALVÃO DE
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT This work recovers the contribution of Fritz Redlich (1892-1978) to the economic thought. Redlich wrote important works in the disciplines of economic history, entrepreneurship and business history. Amongst Redlich’s main ideas on the entrepreneur there is his distinction among different types of entrepreneurs. Redlich was also one of the first authors to analyze the structural problems of entrepreneurial action, proposing the idea of “demonic entrepreneur”, in which the accumulation of power caused by the entrepreneurial activity destroys the innovative spirit of the system, turning the entrepreneur into an enemy of society.
Por uma Filosofia (da Religião) Criativa: o Problema da Formação Filosófica a partir de uma Analogia com a Música
Authors: Portugal Agnaldo Cuoco , Portugal Clarissa Pimentel
Published: August 2023

Resumo: Este artigo se divide em três partes, a fim de investigar a produção filosófica acadêmica autoral e criativa, no Brasil. Na primeira parte, apresenta-se o desafio da produção autoral em filosofia, no Brasil, a partir do exemplo de iniciativas recentes em filosofia da religião. Na segunda parte, por meio de uma analogia com a música, pretende-se argumentar que a defesa de uma maior valorização da filosofia autoral, no Brasil, não significa desvalorizar o trabalho com história da filosofia, área que aparenta maior predominância na filosofia acadêmica, no país. A terceira parte aborda os desafios para a formação para a autoria filosófica, baseando-se na tríplice fórmula aluno-professor-conhecimento e reconhecendo os aspectos objetivos e subjetivos da aprendizagem.
Fundamentos e aplicações da sentiômica: a ciência da capacidade de sentir
Authors: Pereira Jr. Alfredo , Aguiar Vinícius Jonas de
Published: August 2023

Resumo: A sentiência, definida como a capacidade inconsciente de se ter experiência consciente do sentir, é um fenômeno psicobiológico, envolvendo padrões dinâmicos de ondas eletroquímicas, em sistemas vivos. O processo de sentir pode ser estudado em duas modalidades: a) identificação empírica e análise dos padrões temporais universais que caracterizam a sentiência, cujo estudo seria a Sentiômica; b) identificação introspectiva e relato da variedade de experiências conscientes, na perspectiva de primeira pessoa, cujo estudo seria a Qualiômica. A Qualiômica é, sem dúvida, um desafio para a ciência convencional, como afirmado no “problema difícil da consciência” (CHALMERS, 1995), pois a perspectiva de primeira pessoa não é acessível aos métodos de medição e às explicações científicas convencionais. A Sentiômica, enfocando padrões dinâmicos que definem a capacidade de sentir, é, portanto, por definição, suscetível de um tratamento empírico e experimental. Neste artigo, propõe-se contextualizar pressupostos e problemas filosóficos da Sentiômica e apresentar algumas das suas diversas aplicações, com foco na sua relação com a música.
