Background and Objectives: Psychological distress refers to a range of negative emotional experiences, such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Diabetes mellitus and myocardial infarction, are two medical conditions that can have a significant impact on an individual's psychological well-being. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to assess and compare psychological distress among diabetes mellitus (DM) and myocardial infarction (MI) patients in Erbil City. Methods: Quantitative, comparative study design was conducted on 100 patients 50 of them were diabetes mellitus patients in Layla Qasm Center and the other 50 were myocardial infarction patients at Cardiac Centre in Erbil City. The study was conducted from 12h April 2023 till 20th June 2023 and the data was collected from 20 h April 2022 till 24th May 2023. Results: The result showed that the majority of myocardial infarction patients were old adults which is (42%) between 57-68 years, married, illiterate and lived in urban. On the other hand, the majority of diabetes mellitus patients were middle-aged adults which are (42%) between 45-56 years, married illiterate and lived in urban. The ranges of the genders are equal which (50%) are male and (50%) being female. Also, most myocardial infarction patients are non-smokers (52%), and (34%) are smokers. In contrast, the majority of diabetes mellitus patients are (40%) non-smokers, and (20%) are smokers. Conclusions: psychological distress can negatively affect individuals who face chronic conditions such as myocardial infarction and diabetes mellitus.
Repetition Suppression Reveals Cue-Specific Spatial Representations for Landmarks and Self-Motion Cues in the Human Retrosplenial Cortex
Authors: Chen Xiaoli , Wei Ziwei , Wolbers Thomas
Published: March 2024

The efficient use of various spatial cues within a setting is crucial for successful navigation. Two fundamental forms of spatial navigation, landmark-based and self-motion-based, engage distinct cognitive mechanisms. The question of whether these modes invoke shared or separate spatial representations in the brain remains unresolved. While nonhuman animal studies have yielded inconsistent results, human investigation is limited. In our previous work (Chen et al., 2019), we introduced a novel spatial navigation paradigm utilizing ultra-high field fMRI to explore neural coding of positional information. We found that different entorhinal subregions in the right hemisphere encode positional information for landmarks and self-motion cues. The present study tested the generalizability of our previous finding with a modified navigation paradigm. Although we did not replicate our previous finding in the entorhinal cortex, we identified adaptation-based allocentric positional codes for both cue types in the retrosplenial cortex (RSC), which were not confounded by the path to the spatial location. Crucially, the multi-voxel patterns of these spatial codes differed between the cue types, suggesting cue-specific positional coding. The parahippocampal cortex exhibited positional coding for self-motion cues, which was not dissociable from path length. Finally, the brain regions involved in successful navigation differed from our previous study, indicating overall distinct neural mechanisms recruited in our two studies. Taken together, the current findings demonstrate cue-specific allocentric positional coding in the human RSC in the same navigation task for the first time and that spatial representations in the brain are contingent on specific experimental conditions.
Modernizing Urban Food Provisioning: The 1936 Shanghai Fish Market
Authors: Wang Zhengfeng
Published: March 2024

The Shanghai Fish Market (1936), initiated by Republican China’s Ministry of Industry, was briefly a linchpin for producers and distributors, facilitating state intervention in the supply chain of the treaty port city. The market’s modernist design by Su, Yang & Lei Architects departed from the Beaux-Arts-inspired practices often associated with Nationalist China’s self-presentation. Influenced by foreign precedents, it incorporated rationalized trading procedures into its spatial layout. This article examines the market’s construction, which was guided by fishery expertise and aimed to harness natural resources for societal and national benefits. Technopolitical dynamics surrounding the reconfiguration of food provisioning logistics generated power struggles among stakeholders at the local and international levels. Despite the obstacles that constantly challenged the technocrats’ ambition to revolutionize the fishery industry, the Shanghai Fish Market’s historical and architectural significance lies in its efforts to integrate the built and natural environments into a national system of governance.
Italian Validation of the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire
Authors: Mannino Alice , Di Maso Matteo , Viganò Mauro , Corbo Massimo , Sozzi Matteo
Published: March 2024

Music experience is considered a highly pleasant activity, with musical stimuli evoking emotions and activating reward brain circuits. The Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire (BMRQ) evaluates the main facets of music experience that could describe individual differences in music-associated reward. In this work, we validated an Italian version of the BMRQ since only Spanish, English, and French versions are currently available. The original version was translated into Italian, adapted and validated following the methodology proposed in the original BMRQ. The questionnaire was administered to adult participants through an online survey. A total of 1,218 participants were considered for the analysis. Our primary factor analysis showed an overall good structural validity (goodness of fit index > .999). The reliability estimates of each facet varied from .839 and .930, with some items showing higher factor loadings for a different facet than the expected one. Similar findings resulted from an additional analysis performed on a restricted sample (age <= 30 years and upper secondary education level), more comparable with those of the other studies. The Italian BMRQ appears overall valid and reliable despite some differences with the previous studies, suggesting its applicability might be worth testing with different populations and contexts (e.g., clinical context).

Mahardika Dance Creation Process
Authors: Sutirtha I Wayan , Santosa Hendra , Kandiraras Tudhy Putri Apyutea
Published: March 2024

This paper aims to reveal a creative process of the Mahardika dance creation conducted in 2006. This disclosure is important to see how the concept of traditional dance development still maintains the Balinese identity. The Mahardika dance, a new creation form of Balinese dance, comes from the creative process between I Wayan Sutirtha as the dance choreographer and I Nyoman Windha as the musical composer of the dance accompaniment. Mahardika means freedom or release from worldly ties, which refers to the Sutasoma figure as the central character in the Mahardika dance. It is adapted from the main theme of the Bali Arts Festival, namely Swabawaning Idep, meaning the radiance of nobility. The process of creating dance refers to the theory of Alma M. Hawkins in the book Creating Through Dance, including exploration, improvisation, and formation. The Mahardika dance consists of four parts. The first part describes the atmosphere of meditation with a silent atmosphere, the second part depicts the meeting of the Sutasoma and Dewi Candrawati with a happy and romantic atmosphere, the third part portrays the war of the Sutasoma and Prabu Purusadha with a tense atmosphere, and the fourth part represents the consciousness of Prabu Purusada and Sutasoma sitting on a lotus flower with a serene atmosphere. In addition, the costumes are adjusted to the characters. Certainly, it does not interfere with the dancer's movements but helps and opens aesthetic spaces in the choreography of the Mahardika dance creation.
Función social de la ironía en Decamerón, de Giovanni Boccaccio
Authors: Delgado Del Águila Jesús Miguel
Published: March 2024

Decameron has caused a convulsive reaction due to its social content and the mockery of patterns ascribed to medieval religion and morality in Italy. Therefore, support is provided here for the reasons leading to such astonishment about the literary work by Giovanni Boccaccio. Attention is given to the concept of the social function of irony, which in turn would start from three basic principles developed by Bergson. A comic situation requires intelligence, insensitivity and social criticism. Thus, it is possible to explain that the notion of irony is conditioned by the author’s worldview.
Lezama Lima y el ajedrez
Authors: Vidal Ortega Carlos Federico
Published: March 2024

In the early 20th Century, Alfonso Reyes’ and Pedro Henríquez Ureña’s intellectual contributions were pivotal to the cultural appropriation of the Baroque in Latin America. However, Lezama Lima also develops his concept of the Baroque in dialogue with European Art historians. Thus, the article examines chess in the poem “Un puente, un gran Puente” [A bridge, a great bridge] (1941) as an allegory of World War II. The theoretical framework includes Neo-Baroque procedures explained by Severo Sarduy.
Cation-mediated acid-base pairs for mild oxidative cleavage of lignocellulosic β-1,4-glycosidic bonds
Authors: Zhang Hongguang , Wang Aiguo , Zhao Ruixuan , Hu Jinguang
Published: March 2024

Solar-driven lignocellulosic biomass photoreforming holds significant promise for the production of value-added chemicals and fuels. The cleavage of the β-1,4-glycosidic bond is crucial for the effective conversion of lignocellulosic biomass. Polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) with acid-base pairs (M-C sites) is developed through heteroatomic carbon incorporation and cation insertion. It can be used for the gentle oxidation of cellobiose to monosaccharides, bypassing the formation of organic acids such as gluconic acid and glucaric acid. A series of different alkaline/alkaline-earth cation for regulation of acid-base pairs exhibited a negative correlation between β-1,4-glycosidic bond cleavage and cation radii. In particular, the introduction of short-radius cations (such as Li) into PCN enabled the formation of acid-base (M-C) pairs characterized by strong acidity. It also enhanced electron delocalization around M-C sites, potentially promoting the generation of reactive radicals in the reaction. Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis confirmed the presence of •OH radicals. The mild oxidative species, are the primary reactive radicals responsible for β-1,4-glycosidic bond cleavage in cellobiose. This study provides insightful evidence for the rational regulation of acid-base sites in facilitating β-1,4-glycosidic bond cleavage. It sheds light on the oxidative cleavage mechanisms integral to lignocellulosic biomass photoreforming, offering insights for advancing sustainable biomass conversion technologies.

Published: March 2024

This paper reviews the positive attributes and challenges of bamboo usage in carbon absorption, water, and wastewater purification. Bamboo can serve as a habitat for a variety of creatures and supports a diversified ecology. Bamboo roots can cast a fibrous net into the ground to prevent soil erosion and degradation. As the water passes through this woven mesh, the bamboo roots act as a filter, drawing toxins and other contaminants out of the water. Bamboo can treat wastewater effectively in free-water surface, horizontal flow, and vertical flow constructed wetlands. Bamboo charcoal has exceptional filtering properties for cleaner drinking water and better air quality. Additionally, bamboo can be used to form cellulose-based membranes. Bamboo is a renewable resource for creating paper, furniture, and building materials. Bamboo has various benefits. Thus, bamboo forests offer opportunities for rural communities to thrive economically

The penetration of fluids into paper is discussed with particular reference to the phenomenon of wetting. An experimental programme is described in which the distribution of penetration over the area of the sheet is measured. The results indicate that considerable non-uniformity exists and, furthermore, an increase in the degree of sizing of the sheet leads to an increase in the non-uniformity of its wetting by aqueous fluids.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – A Comprehensive Review
Authors: K Jayavasavi. , Sukumaran Sathesh Kumar
Published: March 2024

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, generally said to affect people with an age between 50 years and 70 years. Signs of upper motor neuron and lower motor neuron damage, which are not explained by any other disease process, and are the reasons behind ALS. It attacks the neurons in the brain and spinal cord. These neurons transmit messages from brain and spinal cord to the voluntary muscles. At first, it causes mild muscle problems. Some people show symptoms like difficulty in walking, running, writing and speech. Eventually, the patient may lose the strength and cannot move. Due to the depletion of neuronal transmission to muscles in the chest, the patient may report difficulty to breath. The loss of lower motor neurons leads to flaccid paralysis, decreased muscle tone, decreased reflexes, muscle weakness, muscle atrophy. The defining feature of ALS is the death of both upper and lower motor neurons in the motor cortex of the brain, the brain stem, and the spinal cord. There are small eosinophilic, hyaline intra-cytoplasmic inclusions that stain positive for cystatin and transferring and are present in 70–100% of cases. Environmental and lifestyle factors play a major role in the development of ALS, but no conclusive evidence is available to support making specific changes to decrease the risk of the disease, Genetic mutations can lead to inherited ALS, which appears nearly identical to the non-inherited form. Patients with ALS generally have higher levels of glutamate in the brain, around the nerve cells in their spinal fluid. ALS patients may experience pain involving more than one type, no rigid treatment program that involves the sole use of a single agent should be employed to treat ALS-associated pain conditions. Opioids have proven to be effective in providing pain relief in advanced disease. Nevertheless, these therapies lack the ability to induce long-term lasting effects without constant administration. Over the last decade awareness of ALS has significantly increased, diagnosis is being achieved in a more timely fashion, and overall care is better. This review gives a comprehensive information about the symptoms, pathophysiology common causes, drugs currently used in the treatment.

Published: March 2024

OBJECTIVES

To compare symptoms and outcomes among infants aged ≤90 days tested for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in a broad, international sample of emergency departments (EDs).

METHODS

This was a secondary analysis of infants aged 0 to 90 days with suspected SARS-CoV-2 infections tested using molecular approaches and with 14-day follow-up. The parent studies were conducted at 41 EDs in 10 countries (the global Pediatric Emergency Research Network; March 2020–June 2021) and 14 EDs across Canada (Pediatric Emergency Research Canada network; August 2020–February 2022). Symptom profiles included presence and number of presenting symptoms. Clinical outcomes included hospitalization, ICU admission, and severe outcomes (a composite of intensive interventions, severe organ impairment, or death).

RESULTS

Among 1048 infants tested for SARS-CoV-2, 1007 (96.1%) were symptomatic at presentation and 432 (41.2%) were SARS-CoV-2–positive. A systemic symptom (any of the following: Apnea, drowsiness, irritability, or lethargy) was most common and present in 646 (61.6%) infants, regardless of SARS-CoV-2 status. Although fever and upper respiratory symptoms were more common among SARS-CoV-2–positive infants, dehydration, gastrointestinal, skin, and oral symptoms, and the overall number of presenting symptoms did not differ between groups. Infants with SARS-CoV-2 infections were less likely to be hospitalized (32.9% vs 44.8%; difference −11.9% [95% confidence interval (CI) −17.9% to −6.0%]), require intensive care (1.4% vs 5.0%; difference −3.6% [95% CI −5.7% to −1.6%]), and experience severe outcomes (1.4% vs 5.4%; difference −4.0% [95% CI −6.1% to −1.9%]).

CONCLUSIONS

SARS-CoV-2 infections may be difficult to differentiate from similar illnesses among the youngest infants but are generally milder. SARS-CoV-2 testing can help inform clinical management.

Published: March 2024

La creación de redes colaborativas en educación superior es una aspecto deseable, ya que permite mejorar sobre la base de buenas prácticas y retroalimentar a las distintas instituciones mejorando la calidad de la formación, innovación e investigación. En Chile, no existe una agrupación de formadores/as de nutricionistas que permita estandarizar un nivel de calidad de sus egresados/as. La creación de la Red de Innovación e Investigación en docencia para la formación de nutricionistas (RIID) nace como una iniciativa de académicas de distintas universidades para formalizarse prontamente como un proyecto de extensión. Actualmente cuenta con 54 participantes de instituciones estatales, públicas y privadas de Antofagasta a Magallanes. En dos años de funcionamiento ha logrado diversos productos en el ámbito de la capacitación docente (webinar, jornadas de buenas prácticas docentes), y de la investigación (presentaciones a congresos y artículo científico). Ha sido una experiencia enriquecedora para los/as participantes y fructífera, generando evidencias que promuevan la calidad en la formación del futuro/a nutricionista.

Published: March 2024

Se analizan los indicadores institucionales para las carreras de Periodismo y Pedagogía en Historia y Geografía de la Universidad de La Serena durante 2018-2022. Periodo caracterizado por crisis socio-políticas, económicas y los efectos de la pandemia COVID 19, esta última ha sido considerada por estudios recientes como un factor de desigualdades y efectos adversos en docentes y estudiantes. Mediante el uso del dashboard institucional, que consideró perfil de ingreso, retención y rendimiento, se advierte que no hubo mayores variaciones salvo la mejora de las calificaciones y uso de internet en ambos programas de estudio y un descenso en las matrículas de Pedagogía en Historia y Geografía. El trabajo que se propone abre una pregunta sobre la pertinencia de los hallazgos obtenidos a nivel cuantitativo pero evidencia la necesidad de complementar a partir de métodos cualitativos en la dirección de obtener insumos para la toma de decisiones a nivel de administración curricular, gestión de la docencia y procesos de autoevaluación y acreditación.

Socio-Economic Development of Regions of the Russian Federation: Problems and Trends
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Volkova Anna
Published: March 2024

The article examines the process of dynamics of differentiation in the socio-economic regional development of the economy, which intensified during the period of economic reforms in the post-Soviet period. Regional economies in the period under review from 2011 to 2020 demonstrated high sensitivity and a sharp decline after the introduction of the first wave of economic sanctions and the slowdown in economic processes against the backdrop of the new coronavirus infection pandemic. Conducted analysis of statistical indicators of socio-economic development of regions of the Russian Federation 2011–2020 allows us to talk about the presence of a high level of asymmetry in the development of regions. As a result, the differentiation of GRP per capita values in the regions of the Russian Federation for 2011–2020 was revealed, as was the emerging trend of a slight reduction in regional disparities. A study of the main socio-economic indicators of 2020 was carried out for federal districts (in % compared to 2011), and groups of regions were identified that in 2020 showed the best and worst results by type of economic activity. The results indicate that, despite the decline in economic indicators of the Russian Federation in 2014–2015, the economies of many regions have demonstrated rapid recovery from external shocks. Despite this, there remains a significant imbalance of development between different regions, which is based on the economy’s orientation toward the export of resources. The level of GRP per capita in regions rich in natural resources is 17 times higher than the level of other subjects, and the number of those lagging behind is 3 times higher than prosperous regions in Russia. Throughout the entire period under review, fluctuations in these ratios remain virtually unchanged. All this is a source of tension in society, increasing social discontent and, as a consequence, narrowing the range of means of state regulation.
A Systematic Approach to the Model of Tree Growth in the Forest Based on the Bertalanffy Equation
Authors:   National Aerospace Agency, Suleymanov Tofik , Asadov Hikmet ,   National Aerospace Agency, Tahmazov Tabriz ,   National Aerospace Agency
Published: March 2024

A universal, systematic approach has led to the identification of such indicators as the speed of the process of death and the development of forests. These forest indicators naturally depend on the type of trees in the forest, their state of health, as well as the degree of environmental impact. In forestry, there is a single generalized model of the growth and death of trees in the form of a growth model. The development model proposed by Von Bertalanffy is also known in relation to any growth indicator, mainly the diameter of the tree. The article is devoted to the issues of a systematic approach to the process of tree growth using the Bertalanffy growth model. The aim of the study was to find a relationship between the diameter and height of trees at which the target functional, compiled on the basis of the Bertalanffy model, reaches a maximum with some improvement. The improvement of the model is carried out as follows: a generalized indicator P, defined as the product of the diameter and height of the tree, is introduced for consideration. In general, this indicator determines the longitudinal section of trees and may be useful in forestry. On the other hand, a similar indicator, the product of D2 · H, is widely used in calculating biomass in trees, which indicates that the introduced indicator is sufficiently informative. Some restrictive conditions are assumed for the desired function of the relationship between the diameter and height of trees. To find the optimal ratio between these two indicators, a target function containing the desired function is formed on the basis of the Bertalanffy model. The problem of unconditional variational optimization is formulated and solved, as a result of which the optimal type of the desired function is calculated at which the target functional reaches a maximum.
The Sufficiency of Spinozistic Attributes for their Finite Modes
Authors: Istvan Jr. Michael Anthony
Published: March 2024

Some passages throughout Spinoza’s body of works suggest that an attribute in its absolute nature provides a sufficient condition for all of its modes, including the finite ones. Other passages suggest that an attribute in its absolute nature fails to provide a sufficient condition for its finite modes. My aim is to dispel this apparent tension. I argue that all finite modes are ultimately entailed by the absolute nature of their attribute. Furthermore, I explain how the Spinozistic positions that appear incompatible with this view are in fact compatible. As I see it, we should read those passages where Spinoza says that no finite mode ultimately follows from the absolute nature of its attribute as saying merely that no finite mode ultimately follows in one-by-one fashion, independent of an infinite series of other modes, from the absolute nature of its attribute.
Monismo prioritario, relaciones internas y libertad modal
Authors: Briceño Sebastián

Schaffer ha argumentado que la prioridad ontológica del cosmos puede ser inferida a partir de la ausencia de la libertad modal de sus partes. En este artículo ofrezco razones en contra de las siguientes premisas de su argumento: (i) el supuesto según el cual los objetos fundamentales gozan de libertad modal, y (ii) el supuesto según el cual los objetos que están en la relación de ser compañeros de mundo, dada la teoría de contrapartidas, carecen de libertad modal.
Hegel, pensador de la escisión: "Principio de apercepción"﻿ como clave de lectura de la introducción a la "Fenomenología del espíritu"
Authors: Castillo Vallez Javier
Published: March 2024

El presente artículo propone una clave de lectura para entender el rol estructural de saber y verdad, expuesto por Hegel en la introducción de la Fenomenología del espíritu, a partir del principio de apercepción kantiano y la noción de múltiple sin más. Se verá que esto desemboca en una escisión originaria que Hegel primeramente rechaza en el escrito sobre la Diferencia, pero que luego debe suponer en la introducción de la Fenomenología para que este proyecto cobre consistencia.
La dialéctica durante los "años rojos": La matriz de la escisión y la politicidad de la teoría en Alain Badiou
Authors: Filloy Constanza
Published: March 2024

Este trabajo se centra en la construcción badiouana de la dialéctica y su politicidad durante los llamados “años rojos” (1966-1976). Procuro destacar el carácter político de la dialéctica a partir de una doble hipótesis. En primer lugar, sostendré que la construcción badiouana de la dialéctica otorga una respuesta inmanente y localista al problema de la relación entre la estructura y la historia. En este sentido, organizaré la respuesta de Badiou a dicha problemática a partir de su adopción del principio de la escisión en Teoría del sujeto [1982], para mostrar en qué medida dicha respuesta condensa una serie de desplazamientos inherentes a la dialéctica estructural y la dialéctica histórica en la teoría del sujeto. La segunda hipótesis que desarrollaré es que la propuesta de Badiou permanece en un plano politizante que a su vez restringe la discusión estratégico-política a un ámbito especulativo. Argumentaré que la dialéctica badiouana elabora la relación entre estructura e historia a favor de una subjetividad militante afirmativa, que sería complementada de manera provechosa por un intercambio con la historia efectiva y por un estudio de las luchas emancipadoras.

Este artículo aborda la reciente actualización de la propuesta filosófica general de Badiou a partir del planteamiento específico de una “estrategia especulativa” en el reciente libro La inmanencia de las verdades. Sostengo la hipótesis de que la idea de una “estrategia especulativa” es un tercer estadio en el proyecto de Badiou denominado “filosofía del acontecimiento”, que cumple y radicaliza los anteriores estadios de “platonismo de lo múltiple” y “comunismo de la Idea”, cuya continuidad descansa en la unidad interna de su proyecto a partir de la ligazón entre su apuesta ontológica y meta-ontológica como filosofía necesariamente sistemática. En primer lugar, mostraré los elementos generales de la filosofía de Badiou explicitando sus etapas y la emergencia de lo que denominaré “filosofía del acontecimiento y del ser múltiple”. En segundo lugar, profundizaré específicamente a partir de la convergencia de la tesis ontológica y meta-ontológica, para caracterizar la apuesta del autor como proyecto sistemático desligado de la ontoteología mediante el recurso especulativo a la matemática para pensar la infinitud. A partir de esto, finalmente, sostendré que la “estrategia” de la obra reciente del autor implica, en términos generales, una especificación del rol de la matemática dentro de su ontología especulativa.
El concepto simondoniano de percepción etológica y el influjo del "apeiron" preplatónico
Authors: Bórquez Zeto
Published: March 2024

Rastreamos un concepto de “percepción etológica” en Gilbert Simondon asociado a una “etología metaestable” que podría desarticular la diferenciación entre los regímenes de individuación físico y viviente establecida claramente por el filósofo francés en La individuación a la luz de las nociones de forma e información. Nos situamos en el curso El hombre y el objeto (1974-1975), donde aparece una idea de “objeto-organismo” que desencadena dicha problemática. En un segundo momento, indagamos sobre el fundamento preplatónico de lo “preindividual” en La individuación y el énfasis en la noción de apeiron (lo “ilimitado”), pues ello le permite a Simondon plantear una “carga de naturaleza” que se mantiene en las entidades individuadas como resto potencial, lo cual proponemos como clave para interpretar la dimensión “etológica” mencionada en relación con la percepción. Concluimos con algunas proyecciones que profundizan en esta posibilidad a propósito de Protágoras y del “materialismo especulativo” de Quentin Meillassoux.
Terra Incognita. Critical Notes on the Anthropocene
Authors: Doust Dariush
Published: March 2024

The concept of the Anthropocene, originally proposed by Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer in 2000, denotes the human-dominated geological epoch that follows the earlier Holocene. This article critically investigates productive potentials, ambiguities, and implications of this concept. It starts with the recent past postmodernist notions as a contrasting background and relates the idea of a pending disaster to the scalar differences between earth systems and human literary and artistic practices. Poiesis is the key concept discussed and explained throughout the article. This proposed concept is based on Marx’s idea of the deployment of productive powers (natural or human) as an end in itself. The discussions encompass arts and literature as well as ontological and ethical issues. The main conclusion, presented in the last section, connects the critique of the concept of Anthropocene to the urgency of a collective project based on what I call the principle of sharing.

Le corps vécu n'est pas un corps propre: Beauvoir et l'apparition du corps dans "Le deuxième sexe"
Authors: Lorelle Paula
Published: March 2024

Dans Le deuxième sexe, Beauvoir affirme que « la femme, comme l’homme, est son corps : mais [que] son corps est autre chose qu’elle ». Apparaît dans cette phrase, comme dans l’histoire de la phénoménologie, l’espace d’une déhiscence au sein du corps vécu. Être son corps n’impliquerait pas que le corps soit entièrement soi – et le corps vécu, dès lors, ne serait plus un corps propre. D’où la question que nous tâcherons ici de déployer : l’aliénation au sein du corps vécu n’est-elle pas la condition même de sa manifestation comme corps matériel ? Nous tâcherons, dans un premier temps, de remonter à la source du concept de « corps propre » (Leib) chez les postkantiens, afin de montrer que le corps n’apparaît comme « propre », dans l’histoire de la philosophie, qu’en disparaissant comme « corps ». Ce qui nous conduira, dans un second temps, à interroger la (ré-) apparition du corps dans Le deuxième sexe, et plus précisément dans la description que Beauvoir fait du cycle menstruel.
Richir, Tarkowskij und die Zone der Affektivität
Authors: Flock Philip
Published: March 2024

Untersuchungsgegenstand ist ein systematischer Vergleich zwischen Marc Richirs Phänomenologie der Affectivität und Andrej Tarkowskijs Konzeption des Films als lebendiges Zeitbild, illustriert am Beispiel des Werks „Stalker“. Als tertium comparationis dient der Gedanke einer „archaischen“ oder „elementaren“ Affectivität. Eine solche philosophisch-ästhetische Reflexion eröffnet die Möglickkeit, den architektonischen Status klassische Ideen der Philosophie zu prüfen und umzugestalten. Beide Theoretiker behandeln den Gegensatz von Immanenz und Tranzendenz auf eine Weise, die metaphysische Grundstellung von Ich, Welt und Gott unterwandert und durch ein Denken der Schwelle, der Transition oder Transposition ersetzen. Mithilfe Richirs lässt sich die Struktur der „Zone“ als hyperbolisches Phanomen lesen. Erst inmitten seiner Simulacren un Instabilitäten kommt die Humanität al Rätsel zur Erscheinung, d.h., als Selbstreflexivität eines sich bildenden Sinns. Diese Reflexivität phänomenalisiert sich, so die weitere These, diesseits der Unterscheidung von Denken und Fühlen. Der Aufsatz versucht einen Beitrag zur phänomenologischen Ästhetik zu liefern. Mittels Konstellationsanalyse werden in einer ersten Annäherung allgemein-architektonische Isomorphien und Kohärenzen beider Ansätze herausgestellt.
Partial extraction therapies (PET): a review of the literature

Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT One of the most common dental procedures is tooth extraction; however, the bone defect resulting from the process is only partially restored, leading to considerable bone loss. To rehabilitate a fully or partially edentulous patient, we must handle these sites with delicate surgical procedures. There is a large literature presenting attempts to overcome the negative effects of a dental extraction, with the aim of reducing tissue volume loss or restoring the alveolar architecture. In this context, Partial Extraction Therapy (PET) represents a subgroup of interventions to prevent bone loss after extraction using the tooth itself to prevent alveolar bone loss. This literature review aims to make a survey of the published articles on PET, with an emphasis on socket shield technique, and to explain the other techniques such as root burial, pontic-shield and proximal socket-shield, their indications and counter indications in order to deepen the knowledge of these techniques. To identify the included or considered studies, we adopted a detailed search strategy for MEDLINE and Cochrane Library focused in the last 31 years, whose language was English, Spanish or Portuguese. This text presents an analysis of current data regarding the alternatives for alveolar preservation and the installation of immediate implants in these areas, presenting the possibility of a different surgical technique. However, due to the immaturity and lack of conclusive scientific evidence regarding the predictability of the procedures, it is considered that the use of the socket shield technique must be done in an extremely cautious way.
Fatiga por compasión y estrategias de afrontamiento ante la finitud
Authors: Cardoso Aline Aparecida , Tomotani Daniere Yurie Vieira , Mucci Samantha
Published: March 2024

Resumen La fatiga por compasión es una amenaza para la salud mental de los profesionales de la salud ante la dificultad para gestionar la empatía. Se buscó en la literatura científica la correlación entre la fatiga por compasión y el trabajo de los profesionales en unidades hospitalarias que lidian constantemente con la muerte considerando las estrategias adoptadas para el autocuidado. La revisión integradora de la literatura realizada identificó 11 artículos en las bases de datos MEDLINE y PubMed, publicados entre 2011 y 2021. La fatiga por compasión se presenta más en los profesionales que lidian directa y recurrentemente con la muerte, especialmente durante la adopción de medidas de distanasia. Como principales estrategias de adaptación psicológica destacan la discusión de casos entre equipos, el tiempo libre y apoyo de los compañeros, la espiritualidad y meditación, y el liderazgo constructivo. Son necesarias más investigaciones a fondo dados los escasos estudios, especialmente en Brasil.

Resumo Por meio de revisão integrativa da literatura, busca-se identificar formas de vulnerabilidade evidenciadas na vida de pessoas lésbicas, gays, bissexuais, transgênero e mais no território brasileiro. A partir da análise de cinco artigos selecionados e classificados, foram elencadas formas de vulnerabilidade mental e física nos contextos de violência, ambientes formadores, covid-19, existir e privação de liberdade. As vulnerabilidades apresentadas são historicamente associadas a esta comunidade e acentuadas ao longo dos anos. Observa-se a necessidade de organização de movimentos voltados à causa e incentivo a produções científicas sobre o tema, na busca de maior visibilidade para reduzir injustiças e provocar mudanças no cenário atual.

Resumo Diretivas antecipadas de vontade permitem que pacientes designem um representante legal e manifestem seus desejos a serem cumpridos quando se tornarem incapazes de se comunicar. Neste estudo, objetivou-se avaliar o conhecimento e as preferências de pacientes oncológicos sobre essas diretivas. Trata-se de pesquisa quantitativa e transversal realizada por meio do preenchimento de dois modelos de diretivas antecipadas de vontade e da aplicação de um questionário. Constatou-se que 87,38% dos pacientes nunca tinham ouvido falar em tais diretivas, 97,2% desconheciam os modelos e 95% não referiram dificuldade de preenchimento. Após o esclarecimento, 93,46% consideraram importante que todas as pessoas elaborem as diretivas, 94,86% que elas sejam disponibilizadas aos pacientes e 91,12% que seja aprovada uma lei federal. O esclarecimento sobre o conceito de diretivas antecipadas de vontade contribuiu para aumentar o interesse de pacientes oncológicos pela utilização desse direito, que fortalece sua autonomia pessoal quando incapazes de se comunicar.
