Authors: Yang Sirui , Cai Hongyan , Hu Zhao , Huang Wei , Fu Qin , Xia Ping , Gu Wenyi , Shi Tao , Yang Fazhi , Chen Lixing
Published: November 2024

Heart failure (HF) is a common cardiovascular disease that is related to systemic inflammation. This study aimed to assess the role of C-reactive protein (CRP) combined with fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (C-FAR) on the prognosis of all-cause mortality in different types of HF. A total of 1,221 hospitalized HF patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University between January 2017 and October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were categorized into a low C-FAR group (C-FAR < 0.69) and a high C-FAR group (C-FAR ≥ 0.69) according to the median C-FAR value. We used Kaplan–Meier plots, restricted cubic spline regression, Cox survival analyses, and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses to evaluate the prognostic role of C-FAR on all-cause mortality in different types of HF. After excluding patients lost to follow-up and those with missing data, we ultimately included 1,196 patients with HF. The Kaplan–Meier plots showed that HF patients with high C-FAR levels had a significantly greater risk of all-cause mortality. In all four Cox proportional risk models, C-FAR was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality. Based on the ROC curve, the area under the curve (AUC) for C-FAR was greater than the AUC for Lg BNP. In the subgroup analyses, patients had the highest risk of all-cause mortality when FAR ≥ 0.091 and CRP ≥ 7.470. Regardless of the type of HF, C-FAR can be a good predictor of prognosis for all-cause mortality in HF patients, and patients with high C-FAR had a significantly increased risk of death compared to those with low C-FAR.

Published: November 2024

Background

This study investigated the role and mechanisms of cullin-1 (CUL1) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Methods

Cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-treated mouse pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (mPMECs) and cigarette smoke inhalation (CSI)-stimulated mice were used to construct in vitro and in vivo COPD models, respectively. CUL1 expression was assessed using reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and flow cytometry were used to detect cell viability and apoptosis, respectively. We conducted an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on mPMECs and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) to detect inflammatory factors. Reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, and superoxide dismutase were detected using the corresponding kits. The histological characteristics of the lung tissues were determined by hematoxylin and eosin staining.

Results

CUL1 expression was downregulated in COPD. CUL1 overexpression significantly promoted cell viability, reduced cell apoptosis, and inhibited inflammatory responses and oxidative stress in CSE-treated mPMECs. These changes were reversed by the p53 agonist nutlin-3. In addition, CUL1 overexpression significantly relieved COPD in mice, as confirmed by the reduced secretion of inflammatory factors in BALF, inhibited oxidative stress response, and improved lung function.

Conclusion

CUL1 plays a protective role in CSE-treated mPMECs and CSI-stimulated mice by inhibiting the p53 signaling pathway.
Impact of the manufacturing process on the quality of welds in twin wire mesh fencing
Authors: Schulz I. , Katrakova-Krüger D. , Weichert S. , Aydin M.
Published: November 2024

The aim of this study is to demonstrate differences in the manufacturing of twin wire mesh panels for fencing systems. To this end, twin wire mesh panels made of S235JR and of identical and different dimensions were received from different manufacturers for comparison and in order to reveal differences resulting from the manufacturing process. The quality of the panels was evaluated using light optical microscopy, Vickers hardness tests, scanning electron microscopy as well as tensile tests. Differences in the structure of the weld will be demonstrated by means of metallographic sections and hardness profiles. The zinc coatings deposited by different processes for corrosion protection were characterized by coating thickness measurements on cross sections, light optical microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) measurements. Tensile tests using a specially developed clamping device were performed in order to draw conclusions on the durability of the welds.
Aspects of pitch in textsetting: a suprasegmental analysis of two Turkish versions of Franz Schubert’s Ellens Gesang III (D. 839)
Authors: Güven Mine
Published: November 2024

Focusing on the interaction of linguistic stress with the poetic and musical meters, and the melodic contour, this paper provides a qualitative suprasegmental analysis of two Turkish versions (T1: Ah! Güzel yavrum; T2: Duy ey sevgili sesimi!) of Franz Schubert’s Ellens Gesang III (D. 839). The acceptability of Turkish lyrics despite the failure of T1/T2 to align stressed syllables with strong positions in the iambic feet points towards the relative insignificance of poetic meter. Based on an analysis of the 36 downbeats, alignment rates (the second German version [95.8 %] > the original German version [91.7 %] > T2 [66.7 %] > T1 [50 %]) suggest that factors such as word length and default final stress may have proven counter-productive for Turkish in stress-meter alignment. As long as musical phrasing is in conformity with linguistic phrasing, a melodic contour that mirrors phrasal/sentential intonation may reinforce intended meaning despite mismatched syllables. Singable lyrics need not exhibit absolute stress-peak alignment such that various degrees of mismatches may be tolerable, depending on factors such as melismatic versus syllabic notation, the relative duration of adjacent syllables, and whether or not the mismatch occurs at tactus level.
Musiktherapeutisches Verstehen auf Basis psychoanalytischer Theorie
Authors: Baier Christoph
Published: November 2024

Der Artikel versucht, einen Deutungsrahmen für musiktherapeutisches Geschehen auf Basis psychoanalytischer Ansätze zu entwickeln. Er folgt der These, dass musikalisches Geschehen psychische Strukturen in ihrer Bezogenheit abbildet. Im Laufe des Textes wird dies unter dem Aspekt der innerpsychischen und kollektivpsychischen Dimension ausdifferenziert, in der Annahme, dass individuelle psychische Entwicklung aus einer kollektiv archetypischen Dimension erwächst. Musikalisches Schaffen ist so einerseits differenzierte Kulturpraxis, bildet gleichzeitig jedoch therapeutisch relevante präverbale Beziehungsmodi ab. In der praktischen therapeutischen Arbeit ist es notwendig, diese richtig einordnen zu können, um einen innerpsychischen Symbolisierungsprozess der Patientin oder des Patienten zu unterstützen und zu gewährleisten.
Collective Property in the Modern State: Émile de Laveleye’s
Primitive Property
in its Global Context
Authors: Török Borbála Zsuzsanna
Published: November 2024

The article discusses normative approaches to the commons and argues that similar perspectives emerged in the late nineteenth century, closely linked to claims of social and ecological justice. It posits its subject in the framework of nineteenth-century territorialization, more precisely the exercise of state power as a convergence of normative representations of the space and legislative and administrative practices. Analyzing the theoretical and political dimensions of a representative scholarly work, titled De la propriété et de ses forms primitives by the Belgian professor Émile de Laveleye (1822–1892), it formulates the thesis that Laveleye’s book is indicative of the renegotiation of the status of collective property in land as state territory. The article shows first how the book was shaping a universalist model of common land ownership by waving together European and colonial debates on the topic. Second, by following the English and German translations of the book, it shows how this model was linked to transnational agendas of social politics and land reform. These two aspects draw attention to the crucial role of the state as a historical and present stakeholder in shaping the status of commons as territories.

A metafísica na Crítica da Razão Pura
Authors: De Queiroz Carneiro Gonçalves Mailson Bruno
Published: November 2024

Kant inicia a Crítica da Razão Pura destacando, no prefácio de 1781, o problema imanente à faculdade racional: o conhecimento. Embora o autor reconheça no homem o desejo pela descoberta de princípios gerais, proveniente do interrogatório que lhe é inevitável, essa busca está condenada a desfechos inconclusivos quando seu objeto ultrapassa as condições de possibilidade gnosiológica. O sujeito cognoscente, baseados em pressupostos legados historicamente como eternos e necessários, pretende responder a pluralidade de questões que lhe é imposta pela razão, mas a arbitrariedade de leis gerais transforma sua tarefa num ritual tirânico e obscuro.
A estruturação do espaço e do tempo em Hume
Authors: Mascarenhas Rogério soares
Published: November 2024

Na filosofia de Hume, o espaço e o tempo se fusionam com a inefabilidade da impressão. Se, na seção Das outras qualidades de nossas ideias de espaço e tempo, a definição propriamente dita de ambos nos impressiona pela sua brevidade, podendo não interpelar um leitor de primeira ocasião, guinadas e voltas-face de perspectivas não deixarão de diluir as certezas de um leitor cauteloso e lhe incutir consideráveis problemas. O objetivo do presente artigo é de examinar a teoria do espaço e do tempo em David Hume, notadamente pela viés da reflexão-comparação, examinando a possiblidade de atividades de confrontação terem parte ativa na produção dos dois conceitos.

The L.A. River project: Resting and raging through histories of containment
Authors: Harrower Juniper
Published: November 2024

The L.A. River is one of the world’s most threatened rivers, having lost many species after it was channeled into a concrete freeway. The critical cartographic research shared here problematizes the scientific gaze through considering the ongoing hydrocolonialism of the L.A. basin, while also celebrating the unique animacy of the river. Starting with a feminist science lens, this project was inspired by over 2,000 environmental DNA sequencing experiments interwoven with interviews from L.A. River stewards and communications with sentient river ecologies. Based on these stories, ethically sourced specimens were coated in gold dust, visualized at high resolution with electron microscopy, and woven into a 14-foot painted riverscape that creates new understandings for the river-as-body. Specimens were further encased in artist-created amber, paired with concrete sourced from the river, and assembled into a necklace. These river meanders become a multimedia response to local topographies hoping to illuminate the complex multispecies becoming of the L.A. watershed.

Authors: Vimercati Giovanni
Published: November 2024

This festival report discusses the 2024 edition of the Locarno Film Festival in relation to the history of cinema, including a retrospective of Columbia Pictures at 100, and the current state of the film industry. The festival’s attempt to self-reflexively explore its own role in the food chain of cinema was something that took place both on and off screen. The many titles showcased spoke to the challenges facing cinema as well as the societies that produce and consume them. Their significance is something that will also depend on the distributive trajectories these films will have.
The Untalented Mr. Ripley
Authors: Alsop Elizabeth
Published: November 2024

The eight-part Netflix series Ripley (2024) marked the first time Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 novel, The Talented Mr. Ripley, had been reimagined for television. Unlike previous screen adaptations, the show presents a deliberately deglamorized version of Highsmith’s character, a Tom Ripley less charismatic or preternaturally “talented” than the one made famous by Anthony Minghella’s 1999 film. Characterized by long procedural sequences in which Tom encounters persistent difficulties executing his crimes, Ripley received criticism for these narrative longeurs, as well as its use of black-and-white cinematography and Andrew Scott’s performance in the lead role. Even as the distinctive approach to casting, pacing, and visual style taken by creator Steven Zaillian differentiates Ripley from earlier adaptations, however, it affirms the series’ proximity to the mordantly comic, Hitchcockian sensibility of Highsmith’s novel. At the same time, this Ripley also reflects, like other media characters of late, the pressures of our contemporary “too-late” capitalist moment.

Authors: Solís Chaverri Brandon , Camacho Chévez Sirney
Published: November 2024

Social dynamics have changed the way we perform everyday tasks since technology is now required to accomplish almost all of them. Higher education is not exempt from this trend as current tendencies point towards the virtualization of professional training programs. Consequently, the role of the instructor has evolved; virtual learning environments are the new settings where learning occurs, necessitating a change in how pedagogical mediation is conducted. The objective of this essay is to answer the question posed in the title by drawing on the authors’ experiences and supporting it with bibliographical evidence.
НАУЧНЫЕ ЖУРНАЛЫ СИБИРСКОГО ОТДЕЛЕНИЯ РАН В ДИНАМИКЕ НАУЧНОЙ КОММУНИКАЦИИ ВТОРОЙ ПОЛОВИНЫ ХХ - ПЕРВЫХ ДВУХ ДЕСЯТИЛЕТИЙ XXI В

Published: November 2024

В статье проанализированы особенности создания и основные тенденции развития научных журналов Сибирского отделения АН СССР/РАН в различные исторические периоды и проблемы их включения в меняющуюся систему научной коммуникации. На основе изучения перемен в научно-издательской практике 1990-х гг. и уточненных статистических показателей выявлены предпосылки количественного роста региональных академических журналов и их дифференциация по принципу учредительства. Цель статьи - показать специфику формирования издательской политики в процессе организации крупнейшего регионального центра академической науки и целенаправленную деятельность руководителей отделения по созданию издательской инфраструктуры, обеспечивающей потребности академических учреждений в представлении результатов научных исследований.

From the second half of the 20th to the early 21st century, academic science underwent a number of large-scale transformations that shaped the modern outlook of science and the mechanisms of scientific communication. Scientific journals, which reflected the complex processes of ongoing transformations while presenting the results of scientific research, are an important element of the information and communication environment. The information presented in the article shows the specifics of the organization of regional scientific publishing practice and its difference from the activities of central academic publishing houses. Under the Soviet science management system, the creation of each new scientific journal involved a complex procedure of approvals and affirmations, which hindered the initiatives of academic institutions to expand the presenting of scientific results in specialized scientific periodicals. The heads of the Siberian Branch, while organizing the publication of scientific journals, consistently sought a certain autonomy in the conduct of publishing policy and took measures to create their own publishing house and printing house. It only became possible to realize these ideas by the end of the 20th century. Subsequent events confirmed the correctness of this course. One of the features of the development of scientific periodicals in the 1990s - 2000s is the dynamics of quantitative growth of regional academic journals in the context of experiencing financial difficulties in building a new system of relations with foreign partners. The array of Russian scientific periodicals of those years grew mainly through regional scientific journals. The relative independence of scientific publishing activity made it possible to overcome the difficulties of the 1990s without significant losses, to create conditions for further growth of scientific periodicals, and to maintain stable positions of scientific journals of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the changing system of scientific communication.

Published: November 2024

Hard carbon (HC) is regarded as the most prospective anode material for sodium-ion batteries. Biomass HC is favored due to the advantages of being inexpensive and easily available. Herein, hydrothermal treatment of poplar lateral branches at 220 °C for 4 h was employed as the first synthesis step for HC precursor with yield of 48.5%. The obtained precursor was subjected to the second step of carbonization under nitrogen atmosphere at 1200 °C, 1400 °C, and 1600 °C for synthesis of HC anode materials. Advantages of two step synthesis were confirmed in terms of inorganic impurities elimination, HC yield, and electrochemical performance. Inorganic impurities reduced from 0.46% in poplar wood to 0.26% in precursor. The HC yield was 34.6% for precursor from hydrothermal treatment of poplar wood, which was much higher than HC yield of 18.5% from direct carbonization of poplar wood. The obtained HC anode materials manifested high capacity, strong rate performance, and long-term stability for sodium-ion batteries as indicated by the capacity of 333 mA h g−1 at 0.1 C and 285 mA h g−1 at 2 C, and capacity retention of 92.9% after 200 cycles at 1 C. This research provides an eco-friendly approach for the high-value utilization of woody biomass as anode material for sodium-ion batteries.
Effects of microwave and infrared + microwave drying of wood materials on energy consumption, water absorption, and mechanical properties
Authors: Saltik Burcin
Published: November 2024

The objective of this study was to shorten the drying time of wood material using microwave and infrared + microwave drying methods, compare the energy assumption, analyze their improvement in water absorption, and compare the compression strength perpendicular and parallel to fibers. Red pine (Pinus brutia) and Eastern spruce (Picea orientalis) woods were prepared in three groups. The first group was oven dried, the second group was dried by microwave, and the third group was dried by infrared + microwave methods. The analysis results for energy consumption, moisture content, and compression strength perpendicular and parallel to the fibers were performed. Compression strengths were determined with a universal testing device. According to the results obtained, with 15 min microwave drying, 4% moisture content was reached in the wood samples and both time and energy were saved. It was observed that oven drying consumed 93% more energy than 15 min microwave drying. Samples dried with infrared 30 s + microwave 5 min had higher compression strength in the direction perpendicular to the fibers and samples dried with microwave for 5 min had higher compression strength in the direction parallel to the fibers.
СУПЕРЕЧНОСТІ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ЕКОНОМІЧНОГО ЗРОСТАННЯ НА ІННОВАЦІЙНІЙ ОСНОВІ В УКРАЇНІ

Published: November 2024

Розглянуто сучасні суперечності змісту й політики економічного зростання, де як ключову виокремлено проблему співвідношення між рівнем життя, досягнутим завдяки використанню орієнтованих переважно на отримання прибутку технологічних здобутків, і таким опануванням сил і ресурсів природи, яке в глобальному вимірі спричиняє тенденції до скорочення біорізноманіття і зміни клімату. Показано, що основні напрями розвитку передбачають пошук нового балансу у взаємодії природи і суспільства на засадах формування нового змісту економічної психології і переходу до розробки і використання нових технологій, орієнтованих на збереження біорізноманіття, стабілізацію кліматичних змін і забезпечення на таких умовах економічного зростання.
Охарактеризовано умови і можливості економічного зростання в Україні  на основі, з одного боку, використання існуючих переваг технологічних можливостей (з ознаками глобального характеру і з урахуванням умов «зеленого переходу»), а з іншого – забезпечення змін умов соціального життя населення, яке ще під час війни проявляє бажання будувати кар’єру в іншому, відмінному від довоєнного напрямі, з переоцінкою цінностей і бажанням почати «нове життя» з новою роботою.
Розкрито зміст інноваційної і промислової політики щодо вирішення Україною «домашніх завдань» з промислового розвитку, успішність яких мають забезпечити сучасні засади економічної політики, здатної визначити ключові умови, дотримання і виконання яких формуватиме і реалізовуватиме держава, яка в першу чергу має орієнтуватися на майбутнє України як космічної держави. Це розширить наші можливості для міжнародної співпраці як у цій сфері, так і в частині забезпечення енергетичної безпеки шляхом розширення ядерної енергетики, біоенергетики, енергетичного машинобудування і взаємопов’язаних видів промислової діяльності.
INFLATION TARGETING IN ALGERIA: OBSTACLES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Authors: CHEDDAD Azzeddine , MEKIDICHE Mohammed
Published: November 2024

This article analyzes the feasibility of inflation targeting (IT) in Algeria using data from Q1 2000 to Q4 2021. IT is widely used, although its efficacy in emerging areas, notably MENA, is disputed. Algerian monetary policy dynamics and the central bank's response to inflation and production changes are examined using Taylor Rule and GMM. The Bank of Algeria appears to value interest rate smoothing above short-term economic instability. The central bank's aggressive response to inflation goal deviations supports its price stability promise in an IT environment. The research shows a lower focus on production stability, possibly due to the oil-dependent economy and labor market rigidities. The study finds that Algeria's monetary policy has IT aspects, but its efficacy depends on its economic setting and institutional architecture. To further comprehend Algeria's macroeconomic stabilization efforts, future study should examine global economic circumstances, commodity price volatility, and monetary and fiscal policy. This study adds to the discussion on IT's usefulness in emerging economies by highlighting the necessity to address economic conditions and institutional frameworks. IT may help stabilize prices in Algeria, but executing this monetary policy framework in a unique economic setting is difficult.
НАРОЩЕННЯ ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ КОМПОНЕНТИ ПРИ ОЦІНЦІ ПОТЕНЦІАЛУ ПАЛЮДИКУЛЬТУРИ В КОНТЕКСТІ ЕКОСИСТЕМНОГО ПІДХОДУ
Authors: БОНДАР Олександр , ВЕКЛИЧ Оксана
Published: November 2024

Репрезентовано й проаналізовано основні положення унікального наукового довідкового видання щодо сталого управління торфовищами в країнах Європейського Союзу і можливих шляхів розвитку палюдикультури на відновлених торфовищах в Україні. Обґрунтовано необхідність нарощення економічної компоненти при здійсненні оцінки потенціалу палюдикультури в Україні задля сталого використання торфовищ. Розкрито основні вектори посилення економічної компоненти в контексті екосистемного підходу і з урахуванням сучасних економічних реалій вітчизняного природокористування при опрацюванні запропонованих рекомендацій щодо застосування практик палюдикультури на відновлених торфовищах із залученням екологічно дружніх і економічно доцільних підходів.
Показано, що таким першим вектором має бути врахування вартості / витрат запровадження палюдикультури в тій чи іншій місцевості шляхом оцінювання їх найголовніших економічних параметрів – витрат на секвестрацію викидів двоокису вуглецю; операційних витрат; можливих додаткових витрат.
Доведено, що другим вектором посилення економічної компоненти при здійсненні оцінки потенціалу палюдикультури в Україні має стати врахування в грошовому вимірі цінності екосистемних послуг, які надаються обводненими торфовищами, а також відновлених завдяки впровадженню палюдикультури екосистемних послуг. Адже неврахування капіталізації екосистемних послуг призводить до хибного уявлення щодо розмірів очікуваних вигід і доходу від обводнення торфовищ і розвитку палюдикультурного виробництва на локальному рівні, що значно зменшує очікувану суму дохідної частини від реалізації екологоконструктивних заходів, тим самим суттєво впливаючи в подальшому на ухвалення економічно обґрунтованих і всебічно виважених управлінських рішень щодо екологічної доцільності запровадження таких заходів.
Infections acquired in barbershops – A review
Authors: Britsch Jakob M. , Bereswill Stefan , Heimesaat Markus M.
Published: November 2024

Barbershops are important venues for men to get their hair and beards done and hence, play an important role in men's social life. But barbershops can also be a source of infections. The barber's profession brings the barber into direct contact with customers who may carry pathogens, and contaminated instruments or skin-to-skin contacts might transmit infectious agents. Since barbers work with non-sterile and reusable sharp objects, a simple nick might facilitate blood-borne infections. In our review article we summarize current knowledge regarding barbershop-acquired infections including transmission routes and preventive measures. In fact, shaving in barbershops, particularly when reusing non-disinfected razor blades increases the transmission risk for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B or C viruses. Furthermore, distinct bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, fungi (in particular dermatophytic Trichophyton species) as well as ectoparasitic lice could be identified upon screening of the barbers' equipment and working places. However, knowledge regarding and compliance in hygiene practices varied considerably among barbers. Notably, since in certain countries barbershops are venues to contact sex workers, sexually transmitted diseases might also be acquired in barbershops. In conclusion, improving hygiene standards including disinfection of reusable equipment, and surveillance of the preventive measures would reduce the risk for barbershop-acquired infections.

RESUMO Objetivo: analisar o conceito de “juventudes”. Métodos: Trata-se de análise de conceito, orientado pelo método proposto por Walker e Avant, operacionalizada mediante revisão integrativa da literatura. A busca em base de dados científicos foi efetivada, utilizando-se dos descritores: juventude; jovem; adolescência. Para compor o corpus literário, elencaram-se 22 estudos. Resultados: Constataram-se, nos antecedentes, diversos fatores que influenciam a separação dos grupos juvenis, influenciando a heterogeneização dessa população. Nos atributos, integram-se características que compreendem a formulação dos grupos juvenis, sobretudo a ideia de compartilhamento de vivências e construção social, bem como os consequentes do referido conceito. Após a sistematização das variáveis, procedeu-se à análise, destacando as concepções que influenciam as juventudes. Conclusão: O estudo demonstrou a complexidade multifatorial da formulação do conceito de juventudes, evidenciando diversos fatores que compõem essa construção. Para a enfermagem, esse campo conceitual permite compreender a população e atuar de forma efetiva junto a esse grupo.

Análise do efeito redistributivo das transferências intergovernamentais sobre as receitas municipais no semiárido brasileiro
Authors: Costa Luis Alberto da , Silva Napiê Galvê Araújo , Tondolo Vilmar Antonio Gonçalves , Nogueira Lauro
Published: November 2024

Resumo As transferências intergovernamentais têm papel central no federalismo brasileiro. Estudos recentes sobre o tema enfatizam questões como desigualdades regionais, desequilíbrios fiscais entre municípios, equalização de receitas e a noção do Estado federativo como forma de emulação do Estado unitário. Contudo, nota-se na literatura uma lacuna quanto à compreensão do alcance redistributivo das transferências em regiões de menor desenvolvimento econômico. Desse modo, este artigo objetiva analisar os efeitos redistributivos das transferências intergovernamentais nos municípios do semiárido, em comparação com os demais municípios brasileiros. Para tanto, adota-se a classificação das transferências em quatro modalidades: devolutivas, compensatórias, redistributivas e condicionadas. O procedimento metodológico incluiu coleta de dados secundários, pesquisa bibliográfica e análise quantitativa por meio de estatística descritiva, com aplicação de testes de comparação de médias e variâncias, análises de gráficos, coeficientes de variação, índice Gini e testes de correlação, tendo como unidades observacionais os 5.570 municípios brasileiros. Os resultados confirmam as seguintes hipóteses: as transferências devolutivas e compensatórias não contribuem para equalizar receitas correntes entre os municípios do semiárido brasileiro e o restante do país, tendendo a beneficiar municípios economicamente mais desenvolvidos; as transferências redistributivas têm baixa contribuição para a redução de disparidades de receitas correntes entre o semiárido e o restante do país; e as transferências condicionadas contribuem para equalizar receitas correntes entre o semiárido e o restante do país, tendendo a beneficiar municípios menos desenvolvidos. Os resultados observados contribuem para a compreensão sobre as formas de redistribuição e equalização de receitas correntes no federalismo fiscal brasileiro.

Authors: Zang Jinying , Liang Zhuohui , Du Lin
Published: November 2024

Abstract: This article explores how to combine Confucian principles of filial piety and benevolence with modern aging society governance through literature review and case studies, aiming to improve the elderly people’s quality of life and promote social harmony by integrating traditional values into modern policies. This article analyzes the challenges brought by aging to Chinese society and explores how to solve the social problems caused by aging through these traditional values. The results indicate that the Confucian ideals of filial piety and benevolence provide moral guidance and cultural foundation for respecting and caring for the elderly. The concept of filial piety emphasizes the respect and care of children towards their parents, while the idea of benevolence advocates for the care and support of the elderly throughout society. It is crucial to integrate these traditional values with modern national policies in building a civilized elderly society. By doing so, China can improve its elderly citizens’ quality of life and pave the way for a respectful and caring social framework.
Autoconhecimento, normatividade e responsabilidade na filosofia da linguagem ordinária de Stanley Cavell
Authors: Santos Rafael Fernandes Mendes dos
Published: November 2024

Resumo: O artigo aborda a relação entre a filosofia da linguagem ordinária de Stanley Cavell - FLO - e a possibilidade de autoconhecimento, através dos usos da linguagem ordinária. Nesse sentido, discutem-se as ideias de normatividade e de responsabilidade pessoal envolvidas na possibilidade de comunicações intersubjetivas, em que usos significativos da linguagem ordinária possam ser compartilhados e das quais resulte autoconhecimento. Assim, analisa-se a concepção cavelliana de FLO, relacionando-a com as condições da expressão subjetiva, um tema central na filosofia de Cavell.
Characteristics of phoenix culture & art in Ganpo: grounded theory, perspective, connotation and deconstruction
Authors: Dai Yijun
Published: November 2024

Abstract: The phoenix, as one of the Chinese nation’s cultural symbols, holds multiple special symbolic meanings across different cultures and historical contexts. Delving into the artistic features of the GanPo phoenix pattern aims to deepen the philosophical examination of its artistic essence and the social customs and historical cultural heritage it carries. Supported by the Root Theory, this paper constructs a philosophical framework for understanding the artistic features of the GanPo phoenix pattern through encoding and in-depth analysis of diverse sources, such as texts, images and archaeological materials related to the phoenix pattern in the GanPo region. Through the analysis of the context and word frequency of the phoenix art features in the GanPo region, we uncover its manifold artistic traits and cultural significance.
Para além da dúvida corporal: a dúvida como problema existencial e sua relevância para a psiquiatria
Authors: Lopes Marcelo Vieira
Published: November 2024

Resumo: Recentemente, o conceito de dúvida corporal foi proposto como modelo de descrição da experiência da enfermidade. A dúvida acerca das capacidades corporais determinaria, assim, toda e qualquer experiência de enfermidade, seja somática, seja mental. Não obstante, a fenomenologia dos transtornos mentais apresenta uma série de perturbações experienciais que vão além da dúvida, no nível corporal. A hipótese a ser investigada, neste trabalho, diz respeito à formulação de um conceito de dúvida adequado do ponto de vista desses transtornos. No mais das vezes, pacientes psiquiátricos experimentam sua condição de sofrimento primariamente nos termos de uma dúvida a propósito da totalidade de suas experiências, e não apenas relativamente ao elemento corporal. Por outro lado, elementos cognitivos, afetivos e comportamentais também desempenham um papel fundamental na determinação dos transtornos mentais. No intuito de identificar as peculiaridades da noção de dúvida, nesse âmbito, o presente texto parte da reconstrução e análise da literatura fenomenológica sobre enfermidade somática e mental, bem como de abordagens não reducionistas da cognição (4EA cognition) e seus transtornos.
