Geistersehen innerhalb der Grenzen der bloßen Vernunft: Kant über die Aufklärung dunkler Vorstellungen
Authors: Abel Sebastian
Published: September 2024

The article generally aims to demonstrate that Kant’s endeavor with Swedenborg must be considered productive, meaning that “Dreams of a Spirit-Seer” is not merely a slanderous text. Specifically, we will deal with the explanation of “obscure representations”, which, according to Swedenborg, have their basis in the coexistence of the mundus spiritualis (not intelligibilis!) and mundus sensibilis. This theorem proves highly compatible with Kant, leading to an attempt to reconstruct Swedenborg’s considerations ‘within the bounds of bare reason’: Kant’s profane explanation of obscure representations ultimately refers back to semiotics, namely in the sense that the representations are understood as caused by pure rational beings. Obscure representations thus point as signs to a pre-critical ‘realm of ends’. The influence of pure rational beings also manifests itself in a moral-practical sense; it evokes a feeling opposed to egoism, which can easily be traced to the ‘feeling of respect’ or the ‘voice of reason’ from the critical writings. The ‘actual’ spirit-seeing, which Kant explains as a dislocated foco imaginario and thus as a mental defect, is to be distinguished from all of this, as it only describes the special case of the illegitimate externalization of these obscure representations. As will be shown at the end of the article, the theorems taken up in “Dreams of a Spirit-Seer” can be traced further to Kant’s very last writings.
Note on stability estimation of stochastic difference equations
Authors: Gordienko Evgueni , Ruiz de Chavez Juan
Published: September 2024

Stability estimates are proposed for two variants of Markov processes defined by stochastic difference equations: uncontrolled and controlled. Processes of this type are widely used in applications where their “governing distributions” are known only approximately, for example, as statistical estimates obtained from real data. Therefore, the problem of estimating deviations of output characteristics arises. The Kantorovich metric is used to measure the variations of probability distributions that govern the processes. In the uncontrolled case, the Kantorovich distance between the stationary distributions of the initial process and its perturbation is evaluated. On the other hand, the control processes being compared are endowed with an expected total discounted cost, and the inequality for the corresponding stability index is obtained. The stability index measures the increase in costs when using the control policy optimal for the “approximating process.”
Effect of modulated boundary on heat and mass transport of Walter-B viscoelastic fluid saturated in porous medium
Authors: Singh Anupama , Jakhar Atul , Kumar Anand
Published: September 2024

This article depicts the heat and mass transport of the double-diffusive convective flow of Walter-B viscoelastic fluid in highly permeable porous media with an internal heat source. We used weakly nonlinear analysis to quantify the nature of heat and mass transport using the Ginzburg–Landau equation. The Ginzburg–Landau equation has been derived in terms of the amplitude of the stream function. The effect of physical parameters has been examined on Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, which has represented graphically. According to the boundary condition, we have discussed the four scenarios based on the phase angles. Our study has demonstrated that internal heat plays a significant role in heat transfer processes. Furthermore, the elastic parameter leads to a transient augmentation in the heat and mass transfer rate. The main output of the current study is that the highest transport was found when both the modulations were put in out-phase condition (Scenario 1).
An experimental investigation on the influence of pore foaming agent particle size on cell morphology, hydrophobicity, and acoustic performance of open cell poly (vinylidene fluoride) polymeric foams
Authors: Durgam Muralidharan Nivedhitha , Subramanian Jeyanthi
Published: September 2024

Globally, the development of porous structured materials has been receiving incredible responses for various high-performance engineering applications. Piezoelectric cellular foams have recently attracted the attention of researchers to emerging applications of acoustic sensors, low-frequency hydrophones, and energy-harvesting devices. As pore morphology is closely related to the shape and the size of the pore-foaming agent, it is necessary to address the influence of particle size of the foaming agent on cell morphology to expand their application area. Hence, this research article establishes the impact of particle size of pore foaming agents on pore morphology, hydrophobicity, and acoustic characteristics of open-cell polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based piezoelectric cellular composites. Open-cell PVDF cellular composites have been fabricated using the template removal method with sodium chloride (NaCl) as a sacrificial templating agent in three different particle sizes: larger, medium, and finer. Based on the experimental results, it can be stated that the particle size of the templating agents dramatically influences the pore morphology, hydrophobicity, and acoustics performance of the PVDF foam samples. The PVDF foams possessing medium pore size have exhibited a maximum sound absorption coefficient of 0.89 at a frequency range of 1,000–1,500 Hz, indicating that PVDF foams have great potential for noise-controlling applications.

Authors: Güichá-Duitama Ángela Marcela , Prieto Martínez Lina Paola , Rincón Lozada Carlos Francisco
Published: September 2024

This is a correlational descriptive study, whose objective is to identify the relationship between school bullying and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents enrolled in a rural institution in the Department of Boyacá. The sample consisted of 272 adolescents with the consent of their legal guardians, and the assent of the minors to participate in the research. Among them, 51.5% are female and the remaining 48.5% are male. The participants were between 12 and 18 years of age, with an average age of 14 years. The data was collected through the application of a sociodemographic datasheet, the abbreviated school bullying questionnaire CIE-A (Moratto, Cárdena & Berbesí; 2012), and the self-harm certificate (Tejada, 2013). The statistical results of the relationship between school bullying and self-injurious behaviour made it possible to conclude that there is interdependence between the variables studied; 43% of the total sample reported having self-harmed at some point in their lives, and 91% of the participants reported having been involved in some of the forms of bullying.

Creatividad percibida en problemas insight por alumnado de secundaria: Efectos de algunas variables del problema y del sujeto resolutor
Authors: Yousfi Hanane , Sanjosé Vicente , Gómez-Ferragud Carlos Bernardo , Solaz-Portolés Joan Josep
Published: September 2024

Objective: The study analyzes secondary school students’ perceptions of creativity in insight problems. Methodology. An empirical study was conducted with a total of 127 Spanish students from 8th grade and 11th grade. The students evaluated the creativity involved in the problems before and after attempting to solve them. These evaluations were related to grade, gender, surface, and structural aspects of the problems. Everyday life and science contexts were considered as problem surfaces. The structural aspects of the problems were associated with the specific strategy needed to solve them, such as chunk decomposition and constraint relaxation, the assistance provided by the problem statement to initiate the resolution process, and the possibility of metacognitive control over the quality of the solution. Individual booklets with counterbalanced statements were prepared to assess perceived creativity and to solve the problems. Results. Contrary to expectations, students were able to mentally represent the structural aspects of the problems during reading, and before solving them. The problem surface did not significantly affect the initial perception of creativity. After solving the problems, the average changes in perceived creativity were small. Conclusions. The results encourage teachers to use insight problems to promote creativity in secondary school classrooms.
Los Castellà de Vilanova señores de Bicorp (Valencia) en el siglo XVI. Patronazgo arquitectónico y artístico
Authors: Gómez-Ferrer Lozano Mercedes
Published: September 2024

Los Castellà de Vilanova pertenece a un linaje relacionado con el ambiente culto y cortesano de la Valencia de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI. Señores de la población de Bicorp, emprenderán una importante reforma de su castillo y la construcción de una nueva iglesia, así como remodelaciones en sus casas de Valencia. Obras prácticamente desaparecidas, la documentación ofrece la posibilidad de conocer estas propuestas. En el castillo, baluartes en las esquinas y un patio que debía seguir el modelo de las casas de Alonso Pina en Almansa. En la iglesia, la introducción de abovedamientos tabicados por igual y cabecera recta, que modificaba el tradicional modelo anterior. Si por algo habían sido reconocidos era por haberse intentado identificar a un miembro de este linaje con el retrato de caballero santiaguista de Juanes que custodia el Museo del Prado, aspecto sobre el que se realizará una reflexión que pone en entredicho esta posibilidad.
Death, power, and Queenship: funeral portraits for Queen Margaret of Austria in Italy
Authors: Hernández Zamora Yelsy
Published: September 2024

In 1611, Queen Margaret of Austria of Spain died at the age of twenty-six after giving birth to her eighth child. This event triggered a series of customary rituals, funeral orations, and publications in homage to the queen throughout the Iberian world, threading narratives about the queen’s life that highlighted her virtuous behavior and religious piety. This article focuses on the books of funeral ceremonies produced in Italy, specifically in Naples and Florence, which offered an idealized vision of the deceased monarch to endure in the collective memory. The relationship between texts, emblems, and engravings contained in the books outline a posthumous portrait of the queen as a model of queenship worthy of imitation by attributing specific functions and virtues to the female ruler while revealing the political use of Margaret as a symbol connecting the Spanish Crown with the Italian territories.

Male contact can replace equine chorionic gonadotropin(eCG) injection in anestrus progesterone-treated dairy goats
Authors: Álvarez Ramírez Lorenzo , Gamboa Beltrán Débora
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) is a crucial component of progestogen treatments to induce reproductive activity in goats. However, its repeated use leads to antibody production, and its origin raises animal welfare concerns. Methodology: This study compared the reproductive performance of anestrus dairy goats treated with eCG or exposed to males following a 14-day progesterone treatment. Seventy-one anestrus goats were implanted with a controlled internal drug release (CIDR®) device and placed in one of three groups: the eCG group (n = 23) received an injection of 200 IU of eCG, the male group (M, n = 24) was exposed to a male in the same pen for a period of seven days, and the control group (C, n = 24) received no additional treatment. Results: Estrus, ovulation, and pregnancy rates were recorded. Estrus rates and the interval to estrus (h±SE) in the eCG (95.7% and 36.4±2.8, respectively) and M groups (95.9%, 48.2 ± 2.7) were significantly different from those in the control group (58.3%, 62.7 ± 3.6; p<0.05). Ovulation rates were higher in the eCG (91.3%) and M groups (83.3%) than in the C group (29.1%; p<0.05). The pregnancy rate was higher in the eCG (91.3%) and M groups (79.1%) than in the C group (29.1%; p<0.01). Conclusion: The results indicate that the male effect can replace eCG in progesterone-treated anestrus goats.

Además, también se encontraron diferencias significativas en las variables seminales (p<0.01), incluida la concentración de espermatozoides (p<0.05), que varió con las condiciones ambientales y fue significativamente mayor en la zona altitudinal 4 (AZ4: 150-199 msnm, 33,9°C de temperatura ambiental (ET) y 71,2% de humedad relativa (hr)) y fue significativamente menor en AZ5 (altitud superior a 500 msnm, 23°C ET y 76% HR). A su vez, se encontraron las siguientes correlaciones: a mayor volumen seminal, mayor progresiva es la motilidad y concentración espermática, y a mayor concentración espermática, mayor es la motilidad progresiva. Conclusiones. AZ5 afectó la concentración de espermatozoides, pero no se encontraron diferencias significativas en la concentración de espermatozoides o el volumen de semen entre las razas en estudio.
Spain, between its waves and experts – Navigating through a complex network of advisory committees in a context of political confrontation
Authors: Bermejo-Casado Rut
Published: September 2024

This chapter examines the role of experts in Spain's response to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Through analyzing key discourses and recommendations from experts and expert groups in official and mass media sources, it delves into the intricate network of advisory committees established. The findings reveal the significant contribution of a network of experts and committees, predominantly comprising civil servants, to Spain's pandemic management. While numerous experts internationally and nationally have offered insights and knowledge, many have been marginalized due to their recommendations being disregarded or unheard. Spanish politicians tended to align with experts who endorsed their agenda, often overlooking evidence-based policymaking principles. The chapter underscores the importance of addressing knowledge gaps to enhance policymaking effectiveness and adaptability (Boswell 2009, 5).

Published: September 2024

The operation of field pipelines may be disrupted due to natural processes occurring during oil and petroleum products transportation. This is due to the physical and chemical properties of the raw materials, the temperature of the transportation environment, operating conditions, flow rate, gas factor and other reasons. The main source of pipeline destruction is corrosion formation on pipeline surface. In order to ensure fire and industrial safety of pipeline system operation in the oil and gas industry, it is necessary to take measures against corrosion and prevent its occurrence.Objective of the study: ensuring fire and industrial safety by identifying the causes of emergency and fire hazardous situations on field pipelines and preventing their occurrence.Objects of study: field pipelines subject to internal corrosion.Research methods: identification of the causes of emergency and fire-hazardous situations on field pipelines and prevention of their occurrence.The main causes of accidents and fires on the field pipelines under consideration have been established. The influence of asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits (ARPD) formation on the course of internal corrosion on the oil pipeline walls has been revealed. Measures aimed at eliminating ARPD are proposed.
Zooming and Two Immanences
Authors: Kralechkin Dmitriy
Published: September 2024

Starting from criticism of concept of “zooming” (understood as and economical way of saving effort with the goal of determining non-evident facts and essences on the base of a map), the author interrogates the relation between zooming as a doubtful epistemological procedure and philosophical concepts with their economy. Bruno Latour presents a clear-cut instance of criticism of zooming: the latter is declared to be a visual effect, a user interface that covers the real working of knowledge up. But the analysis of Gilles Deleuze’s definition of philosophical concept reveals that questioning of zooming implies the tradition of transcendental criticism and, henceforth, the opposition between transcendence and immanence which can be read now as an economic one. What if immanence were founded on the imperative of a fair effort, on the ban of any shortcut, and on the impossibility of mastering anything that is not present at hand? Nevertheless, this kind of anti-economical immanence can’t be articulated coherently, it needs, as Deleuze proved, an instance of “overflight” implying that immanence can hardly be articulated in an “immanent” way. Henceforth, there are two sorts of immanences, but both are not free from a dogmatic remnant. If it is the case, zooming plays a role of a mediator, relating immanence to itself, and so transcendence can be just a metaphor of immanence. At the end of the day, a minimal transcendence of a concept does not mean it is framed as a transcendental instance, so zooming is still a productive moment of any mapping.
Acute thermal tolerance v1
Authors: A. Turner Leah , Easton Anne
Published: September 2024

Understanding the mechanisms that underlie the adaptive response of ectotherms to rising temperatures is key to mitigate the effects of climate change. We assessed the molecular and physiological processes that differentiate between rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) with high and low tolerance to acute thermal stress. To achieve our goal, we used a critical thermal maximum trial in two strains of rainbow trout to elicit loss of equilibrium responses to identify high- and low- tolerance fish. We then compared the hepatic transcriptome profiles of high- and low-tolerance fish relative to untreated controls common to both strains to uncover patterns of differential gene expression and to gain a broad perspective on the interacting gene pathways and functional processes involved. We observed some of the classic responses to increased temperature (e.g., induction of heat shock proteins) but these responses were not the defining factors that differentiated high and low-tolerance fish. Instead, high-tolerance fish appeared to suppress growth-related functions, enhance certain autophagy components, better regulate neurodegenerative processes, and enhance stress-related protein synthesis, specifically spliceosomal complex activities, mRNA regulation, and protein processing through post-translational processes, relative to low tolerance fish. In contrast, low-tolerance fish had higher transcript diversity and demonstrated elevated developmental, cytoskeletal, and morphogenic, as well as lipid and carbohydrate metabolic processes, relative to high-tolerance fish. Our results suggest that high-tolerance fish engaged in processes that supported the prevention of further damage by enhancing repair pathways, whereas low-tolerance fish were more focused on replacing damaged cells and their structures.
El mundo invisible: una investigación educativa basada en las artes sobre memoria y deseo en la inmigración.
Authors: Sanseverino Vergani Galera João Manoel , Genet Verney Rafaèle
Published: September 2024

Immigration is a significant and polemic topic in current politics from which debates and tensions arise that impact the media and society in general. Most academic works are focused on analyzing mainly the political and economic factors of these phenomena without considering what really happens to those who experience it on a personal and intimate level. In this article we present an educational project that aims to make students reflect on the most sensitive aspects of immigration based on the concepts of memory and desire. We worked with two groups of students from São Paulo (Brazil) and Granada (Spain), who identified their desire to migrate and their memories of origin from the creation of maps. To analyze the results, an educational research based on the arts was used from the prism of a/r/tography and new cartographies of these concepts were created as a visual summary that was later appropriated by the researchers, themselves immigrants, to turn them into works of art where an invisible world appears: countries where no one wants to migrate.

The planet's natural environment is under significant anthropogenic impact. At the same time, the long-term studies have established rhythms of the development of the biosphere. Landscapes changes are a marker of changes in the biosphere. In turn, changes in vegetation and the soil cover are a marker in the landscape changing (because it's easier to trace their in sediments and chronos). It is believed that changes in these components of palaeolandscapes at the beginning of the two latest interglacials are comparable. We can give a forecast based on the Lyell’s principle of Uniformitarianism about how the climate will be change throughout the entire Holocene and compare this forecast with the trends that we are fixing now. It is extremely necessary to establish benchmarks for this complex objective which ones can connect both interglacials. Strictly speaking, it is the objective of this work. The article presents the results of the study, which consists in finding analogues of phases at the beginning of the Last Interglacial period and the Holocene through the reconstruction of plant communities and soils.
L.S. Vygotsky: Reading Anew. Part 1.
Authors: Nechaev N.N.
Published: September 2024

The article dwells on the earlier period of Vygotsky’s works before the time when the principles of the Cultural Historic Theory were formulated. His report on the 2nd Psycho-Neurologic Congress in 1924 as well as some adjacent works including “The historical sense of psychological crisis” are considered by the author as key moments. If to compare Vygotsky’s approach with I.P. Pavlov’s theory of conditioned reflex, V.M. Bechterev’s reflexology and K.N. Kornilov’s reactology,from one side, and psychology, from the other, it reveals Vygotsky’s determination to restructure psychology on the objective basis. In his opinion this implies the turn of psychology to higher forms of human’s behavior, actually, to human activity. In these methodological changes of Vygotsky’s views one can trace certain relations of Vygotsky’s early works with P.Ya. Galperin’s theoretical survey on subject and method of psychology.
Structure and Distortions of the Activity Autoregulation: a Growing Edge of the Cultural-Historical Activity Theory
Authors: Leontiev D.A.
Published: September 2024

The problem setting of the paper stems from the idea of shifts in research contexts and explanatory emphases in the Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) through the history of its development, specifically, from putting the concepts of mediation and self-regulation (autoregulation) to the foreground in the 1980s. The immediate object of the analysis are the elements of activity autoregulation structure and varieties of its possible distortions. In line with the distinction of five elements of any contour of autoregulation as the mechanism of cyclic action correction basing on the comparison of the feedback on the current results with the preset goal criterion, ten arts of autoregulation distortions are differentiated and described: 1А. Lack of goal criteria or lacking selectivity as regards such criteria; 1B. Excessive rigidity of the goal criteria; 2А. Difficulties in the transition from decision to implementation; 2B. Uncontrolled, uncorrectable acting; 3А. Lacking sensitivity to the feedback; 3B. Anxious hypersensitivity to the feedback. 4A. Lack of readiness to detect mistakes and to correct erroneous actions; 4B. Failed comparison of the feedback with goal criteria, spontaneous responding; 5А. Denying mistakes and refusal of their correction; 5B. Painful responding to errors and failures.
The Concept of Ingrowing in the Theory of Development of Higher Psychological Functions
Authors: Maidansky A.D.
Published: September 2024

The author examines the concept of ingrowing in Lev Vygotsky’s cultural-historical psychology. The theoretical significance of his metaphors of ingrowing and gardening, and the connection between the terms “ingrowing” and “interiorisation” are revealed. The plain criterion for evaluating the success of ingrowing higher psychological functions is found in the development of verbal thinking. By analysing the concepts of interpsychic and intrapsychic function, the author shows how Vygotsky understands the process of transformation of one function into another: (i) types of ingrowing and (ii) the nature of changes in the structure of higher psychological functions during the transition of interpsychic forms of behaviour into the child’s consciousness. The controversy between Vygotsky and Aleksei Leontiev on the ingrowing of word meanings is discussed. Special attention is paid to the ingrowing scientific concepts at school age. The epilogue briefly outlines the fate of the concepts of ingrowing and interiorisation in Russian cultural-historical psychology.
Zone of Proximal Development: Evolution of the Concept
Authors: Zaretsky V.K.
Published: September 2024

The main idea of ​​the article is to trace the development and use of the concept of zone of proximal development (ZPD) in the works of Russian psychologists since its introduction into the conceptual apparatus of cultural-historical psychology by L.S. Vygotsky. The article consists of three parts. The first is devoted to the definition of the concept of ZPD, in which the contradictions between the ideas of the author of the concept and the interpretations of it by other authors are analyzed. The “classical definition” of ZPD is supplemented by the ideas of L.S. Vygotsky, expressed by him in other works. The other two parts of the article are devoted to changes in the methodological functions of the concept at different stages of its development: from an explanatory principle to the subject of research, and from the subject of research to a methodological means for the construction of new subjects of practice-oriented technologies. The general trend is to expand the areas of application of the ZPD concept, to go beyond the initial tasks of explaining and theoretically justifying the special connection between learning and development, and beyond the problems of interaction between a child and an adult. Particular attention is paid to the helping activity of an adult (teacher, psychologist, parent, etc.): the main question is how to help in order to contribute to the development. It is shown that the concept of ZPD is now used in psychotherapy and practice of working with adults with developmental disorders, i.e. it becomes the link between education (learning), development and mental health.
