The Digital Regulatory Framework through EU AI Act: The Regulatory Sandboxes’ Approach
Authors: Boura Marta
Published: June 2024

In the past years, the EU political agenda has been marked with an accelerated digital transformation programme intended to provide for both a safety net for the implementation and use of technology and the regulation and democratisation of access to technology. In this context, the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) has been flagged as a priority considering how it has contributed to a transformation on both business activities and legal practice. The EU AI Act currently under discussion has the advantage of marking a pioneer regulatory intervention laying down harmonised rules on AI, shaping both how AI is to be used as well as its risks. From a legal perspective, the EU AI Act also presents as an opportunity to launch a new digital regulatory paradigm which deals with the difficulties of the traditional regulatory framework in balancing the need to regulate a constantly changing reality alongside the creation of a regulation that is not excessively burdensome for developers and providers. On the one hand, new regulatory principles of function equivalence and technology neutrality have been implemented as application and interpretation criteria, while on the other hand, new supervisory and regulatory technologies are being experimented to align digital monitoring and reporting requirements. Accordingly, discussions around the so-called digital law philosophy, legal thinking and legal design mechanisms are to guide a new construction of how the legal field is to adapt to the digital era. Despite being a cross-cutting regulatory approach towards digital fields (as digital finance), the proposed AI regulation stands out in this domain for its assumed break with typical regulatory standards by adopting a risk-based approach (as opposed to a regulation based of rights) or implementing regulatory sandboxes aimed to test and develop new AI technologies. In this article, we propose to address the main features of the new digital regulatory paradigm having the EU AI Act in the horizon. In particular, we propose to discuss the underlying rationale of a sandbox approach and how it fits the development of emerging technologies as AI. Keywords: Digital regulatory framework; EU; EU AI Act; regulatory sandboxes; innovation.
La hermenéutica fenomenológica como puente para el desarrollo de pedagogías hospitalarias en sociedades evanescentes
Authors: Correa-Arias César
Published: June 2024

Este artículo presenta un itinerario temático, analizando en primera instancia, las características y naturaleza del injerto de la hermenéutica en la fenomenología en el pensamiento del filósofo francés, Paul Ricoeur. Se trata de un entrelazamiento de una hermenéutica subjetiva con una fenomenología del sí. Posteriormente, el análisis se desplaza del injerto mencionado a la construcción de una interpretación del mundo de la vida y de la realidad social, hacia una epistemología plural, que requiere de un vaciamiento del sí hacia otro. Este último que se presenta como extraño y extranjero en la interacción social.  Tal desplazamiento requiere de la orientación de una visée éthique (Ricoeur, 1990a), capaz de comprometer a los sujetos con la construcción narrativa de sus existencias, emerger una identidad narrativa y responder por las acciones del sujeto constructor de su historia. Pero, además, la finalidad ética deberá conducir a los sujetos involucrados, a habitar un pluralismo ético, que mediante la dialogicidad pueda hacer aparecer a los sujetos sociales como agentes dotados de derechos, inquietudes (preocupaciones) y de deberes en la interacción social.
Acto seguido, se presenta, de manera general, la evolución de las epistemologías dividiéndolas en sociedades terrestres y epistemologías cardinales; sociedades líquidas o epistemologías de deconstrucción; las sociedades evanescentes o epistemologías de perdida y de innovación social. Las sociedades evanescentes se caracterizan por el sentido de perdida tanto de la identidad, del acceso a los derechos universales que los llevan a la exclusión, la vulnerabilidad y a las patologías sociales. E igualmente, a la emergencia de nuevas identidades, innovadoras maneras de presencialidad en la esfera de lo ético-político y lo socio-cultural.
Antes de las conclusiones que cierran este trabajo, se afirma la necesidad, de una hospitalidad epistémica y de una ética de la hospitalidad, que permita el surgimiento de pedagogías hospitalarias; favoreciendo tanto el ejercicio de la hermenéutica del si y la fenomenología del sí, como también la aspiración de los sujetos a una vida digna, contando con el reconocimiento social mutuo y desarrollando la existencia en instituciones justas y democráticas.

Authors: Politi Maria Teresa , Di Benedetto Sarah , Ferreyra Raúl , Bortman Guillermo , Piazza Antonio , Capurro Claudia
Published: June 2024

Introducción: Los modelos de predicción de riesgo de cirugías cardiovasculares se aplican ampliamente a la práctica médica. Sin embargo, han sido criticados por su baja calidad metodológica y escasa validación externa. En América Latina se agrega la limitación de que la mayoría de estos modelos fueron desarrollados en Estados Unidos o Europa, existiendo diferencias geográficas marcadas. El objetivo de este estudio es caracterizar los eventos clínicos postoperatorios de cirugías cardiovasculares con uso de bomba de circulación extracorpórea en un escenario local y evaluar la predicción de mortalidad postoperatoria del modelo predictivo EuroSCORE II.
Métodos: Corte transversal en un hospital universitario urbano de Buenos Aires. Se incluyeron a pacientes ≥21 años de edad, con indicación de cirugía cardiovascular con uso de bomba. Se excluyeron a pacientes con datos clínicos incompletos respecto a las variables del EuroSCORE II o respecto a la sobrevida intrahospitalaria, con ≥95 años de edad o sometidos a trasplante cardíaco.
Resultados: Se enrolaron 195 pacientes. La mortalidad postoperatoria estimada por el EuroSCORE II presentó una clara subestimación del riesgo (3,0% vs 7,7%). La discriminación (AUC = 0,82; IC95% 0,74-0,92) y la bondad del ajuste del modelo fueron adecuadas (χ2 = 7,91; p = 0,4418). Las complicaciones postoperatorias más frecuentes fueron insuficiencia cardíaca postoperatoria (35,9%), shock vasopléjico (13,3%) y shock cardiogénico (10,26%).
Conclusión: El EuroSCORE II es una herramienta apropiada para discriminar entre diferentes categorías de riesgo en pacientes sometidos a cirugías cardiovasculares con uso de bomba, si bien subestima el riesgo.
Cardiomiopatía cirrótica – ¿Realidad clínica o simple curiosidad académica? Revisión.
Authors: Ramos Hugo , Altieri Mario
Published: June 2024

El diagnóstico de Cardiomiopatía Cirrótica está basado en la presencia de cirrosis hepática avanzada con alteraciones de la función cardíaca sin cardiopatía pre-existente, pero en gran parte de su evolución natural ésta es subclínica. Por ello son imprescindibles los estudios complementarios no invasivos para confirmar el diagnóstico y su rol pronóstico en pacientes con o sin trasplante hepático. En esta segunda parte revisamos los métodos de diagnóstico desde el ECG hasta las imágenes de resonancia magnética cardíaca.

Authors: Videla Elizabeth Karen , De la Torre Bertha , Ferrada Pablo , Miller Jorge , Torres Eduardo , Álvarez Analía , Herrera Javier
Published: June 2024

En los tumores sólidos la hipereosinofilia es un fenómeno raro y se asocia principalmente con carcinomas secretores de mucina. Los tumores tiroideos asociados a neutrofilia y/o eosinofilia se han descrito exclusivamente en pacientes con cáncer anaplásico de tiroides. La eosinofilia asociada con cáncer papilar de tiroides es extremadamente rara y se encuentran muy pocos casos descriptos actualmente. Se ha sugerido que tres citocinas, a saber, la interleucina-3 (IL-3), la interleucina-5 (IL-5) y el factor estimulante de colonias de granulocitos y macrófagos (GM-CSF), pueden actuar como un péptido eosinofílico potencial. Hasta el momento solo se han reportado tres pacientes con cáncer diferenciado de tiroides asociados a eosinofilia, dos de tipo papilar y uno de tipo medular. Paciente de 48 años consultó en el año 2022 por adenopatías cervicales bilaterales de 3 años de evolución asociado a síndrome consuntivo e hipereosinofilia. Se solicitó PET CT que evidenció foco hipermetabólico en lóbulo tiroideo derecho y metástasis ganglionares, pulmonares, óseas y hepáticas; ecografía tiroidea que evidencia en lóbulo derecho nódulo de alta sospecha de malignidad y conglomerado de adenopatías con lavado de aguja positivo para tiroglobulina. Evaluada la hipereosinofilia con valores iniciales de leucocitosis de GB 30310/mm3 (10608/mm3 de eosinófilos) hasta valores máximos de GB 77090/mm3 (eosinófilos 20814/mm3) se interpretó como síndrome paraneoplásico y se inició corticoterapia en dosis inmunosupresoras sin respuesta. Nuestras observaciones presentadas en este artículo están en línea con la mayoría de los estudios que reflejan que la hipereosinofilia paraneoplásica se caracteriza por una enfermedad más avanzada y un mal pronóstico.

Published: June 2024

The article examines the influence of the Internet on family values, how modern technologies destroy traditional moral attitudes and change the perception of society as a whole. One of the key tools of the country’s political system is the mass media. The definition of mass media means television, press, radio, cinema sound recording, as well as video recording. To this list, we should also add the Internet, which over the past 20 years has become one of the most effective means of receiving and transmitting information. The role of the media in the life of modern society is difficult to overestimate. Today it is impossible to imagine any sphere of our life without information relations. The media have different capabilities and the power to influence the audience. Radio and television have the most massive and strong influence. The media influence almost all spheres and institutions of society, including the family.
Ethical Procedures for Responsible Experimental Evaluation of AI-based Education Interventions
Authors: Dekker Izaak , Bredeweg Bert , Winkel Wilco te , van de Poel Ibo
Published: June 2024

AI-based interventions could enhance learning by personalization, improving teacher effectiveness, or optimize educational processes. However, they could also have unintended or unexpected side-effects, such as undermining learning by enabling procrastination, or reducing social interaction by individualizing learning processes. Responsible experiments are required to map both the potential benefits and the side-effects. Current procedures used to screen experiments by ethical review boards do not take the specific risks and dilemmas that AI poses into account. Previous studies identified sixteen conditions that can be used to judge whether trials with experimental technology are responsible. These conditions, however, were not yet translated into practical procedures, nor do they distinguish between the different types of AI applications and risk categories. This paper explores how those conditions could be further specified into procedures that could help facilitate and organize responsible experiments with AI, while differentiating for the different types of AI applications based on their level of automation. The four procedures that we propose are 1) A process of gradual testing 2) Risk- and side-effect detection 3) Explainability and severity, and 4) Democratic oversight. These procedures can be used by researchers, review boards, and research institutions to responsibly experiment with AI interventions in educational settings.

A synthesis and critical inventory of Nubian cores in Middle Stone Age and Middle Palaeolithic assemblages
Authors: Hallinan Emily
Published: June 2024

Nubian Levallois technology has become a prominent and hotly debated topic in current Palaeolithic discourse, with important arguments surrounding modern human dispersals, cultural interactions and technological innovations resting on the presence of Nubian cores in lithic assemblages. However, not all published instances of Nubian cores fulfil their strict technological criteria, with resultant implications for how their presence in space and time is interpreted. To address this, this dataset compiles a comprehensive literature review of 154 published sites where Nubian cores have been reported. Each case is presented with key contextual information synthesised from the literature, and the identification of Nubian cores is critically evaluated. The dataset shows that over the last decade, while there has been a marked increase in the number and distribution of sites with reported Nubian cores, these artefacts increasingly diverge from the technological and morphological characteristics that define this core type. As such, 19 identifications are queried, and 12 rejected as not fulfilling the strict Nubian core criteria. This dataset serves as a key resource for studies of Nubian Levallois technology, providing a centralised literature review with spatial and contextual data to support robust future research on the topic.
Mengeksplorasi Status Hukum Musik Melalui Perspektif Hadits
Authors: Ramadhan Syahrul
Published: June 2024

Penelitian ini menginvestigasi pandangan dan interpretasi hadis terkait dengan musik dalam agama Islam dengan menggunakan library research yaitu metode studi pustaka. Melalui analisis literatur yang terdiri dari jurnal ilmiah, buku, dan kitab, penelitian ini mencoba menggambarkan beragam sudut pandang yang berkembang seiring waktu. Terdapat perbedaan signifikan dalam pemahaman tentang musik dalam Islam, mulai dari pandangan yang mengizinkan musik dalam konteks tertentu hingga pandangan yang menganggapnya haram secara mutlak. Selain itu, penelitian ini membahas argumen-argumen dan interpretasi ulama mengenai hadis tertentu yang digunakan untuk mendukung berbagai pendekatan ini. Hasil dari kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa hadis yang membahas seni musik dapat dibagi menjadi dua jenis. Pertama, hadis yang melarang musik, dan kedua, hadis yang memperbolehkannya. Musik diizinkan dalam konteks perayaan pernikahan, hari raya, dan hari-hari gembira lainnya, asalkan memberikan manfaat. Di sisi lain, musik yang diharamkan didasarkan pada dalil-dalil yang melarang musik, khususnya jika diiringi oleh kemaksiatan atau kemunkaran dan menimbulkan kemudharatan. Pendapat para ulama yang bersifat pro dan kontra tergantung pada perspektif mereka. Beberapa ulama menilai musik berdasarkan al-Qur’an dan hadis, sementara yang lain melihatnya dari perspektif sosial budaya. Ada juga yang berusaha mempertimbangkan kemaslahatan sosial umat Islam dari sudut pandang agama. Sebagian ulama mencoba untuk tidak terpaku pada jenis atau suara musik, melainkan menilai dampak yang dihasilkan. Jika musik tidak berdampak negatif pada individu dan masyarakat, dianggap halal; sebaliknya, jika memiliki dampak buruk, dianggap haram.

Nanoplastics (NPs) and microplastics (MPs) are an emerging threat to global health. They negatively impact ecosystems and many physiological processes, causing alterations in xenobiotic metabolism, nutrient uptake, energy metabolism, or cytotoxicity. In humans, we are beginning to analyze these plastics for the mechanisms by which they enter the organism, accumulate and diffuse, and for their pathogenic potential. NP accumulation has been demonstrated in human tissues, such as blood or placenta, while in others it remains largely unstudied. In this work, we have detected NP accumulation in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF), cerebrospinal fluids (CSF), lymph nodes (LN), urine, pleural fluids (PF), ascitic fluids (AF) and peripheral blood (PB) by combining fluorescence and nanocytometry techniques. NP analysis has been compared with mouse animal models, suggesting that inhalation is the main route of NP accumulation.
Motivations for intensified lotto participation among German Lotto 6/49 and Eurojackpot players
Authors: Weidner Linus
Published: June 2024

The study examines motivational factors that have been found to influence lotto participation including social network effects, the dream of a life-changing jackpot win, irrational thoughts and behaviors and social deprivation. Previous research has often focused on such motivational factors as differentiators between non-players and lottery players. This study examines whether these motivations also explain intensive lotto participation based on a representative telephone survey of 2000 German lotto players. Employing logistic and OLS regression models, the study finds that neither lotto gameplay nor dreaming of a life-changing win explain intense weekly lotto participation or high lotto expenditures. Instead, sunk costs and ‘sunk numbers’ are the main explanations for weekly play and high lotto expenditures. Syndicate play predicts the likelihood of participating in lotto on a weekly basis but does not affect any measure of expenditure. Additionally, having a close social contact who also plays lotto has a positive impact on both measures. The idea that people are heavily involved in lotto because they feel deprived is not supported for this sample of players. The study shows that many people play lotto habitually. The potential implications for the regulation of lotto markets are briefly discussed.
The psychology of heavy metal identity: The intersection between gender, ethnicity, dis/ability, and sexuality
Authors: Messick Kyle J.
Published: June 2024

This chapter looks at the psychology of identity among metal music fans through the intersection of identity facets based on gender, dis/ability, ethnicity, and sexuality. The heavy metal subculture may promote inclusivity and unity of outsider identities as a value, but the extent to which inclusion is a reality can differ based on the region, the subgenre of metal the person is associated with, and the aspect of themselves that may differ from metal’s historically heterosexual, white, and male predominate fanbase. Metal cultural identity can provide many psychological functions, including providing a sense of belonging, a tool for mood maintenance, and it can provide a coping mechanism. Experiences of discrimination within and outside of metal can differ, and there may be dissonance experienced when aspects of an individual’s identity based on gender, sexuality, dis/ability, and/or ethnicity conflict with aspects of their metal identity. Theories from social psychology are used to contextualize reoccurring themes from qualitative interviews with twelve heavy metal fans of differing ethnic, geographic, gender, dis/ability, and sexuality backgrounds. Individuals explain how they navigate each element of their identity within heavy metal culture with a focus on the psychological functions that are provided by metal music culture, including the ability to cope in the face of adversity.
Blockchain for Vehicle Registration, Transferring and Management Process in Sri Lanka
Authors: Malintha Chamod , Diyasena Deshanjali , Madushanka Tiroshan
Published: June 2024

In Sri Lanka, the widespread occurrence of fraudulent activities in vehicle registration processes presents notable challenges, especially regarding ownership disputes and discrepancies in vehicle history. This study first investigates the drawbacks of the existing manual registration system, which leads to delays in registration, ownership transfer, and modification processes, thus contributing to fraudulent activities in the secondary vehicle market. These challenges arise from centralized storage systems, which are vulnerable to single points of failure and data integrity compromise due to third-party involvement. To address these deficiencies, as a solution, this paper recommends the adoption of blockchain technology, utilizing its decentralized and distributed nature to ensure the security, reliability, and transparency of vehicle information management. Specifically, a blockchain-based system is proposed and developed on the Ethereum network, incorporating smart contracts to streamline key functions of the Sri Lankan government's vehicle registration process. These functions include new vehicle registration, reproducible certificate issuance, ownership transfers, modifications, and comprehensive vehicle history maintenance. The system provides public access to vehicle details, including historical data, via a user-friendly mobile application. Ultimately, this study contributes to establishing a secure and reliable method that simplifies the vehicle registration process, mitigating security breaches and data tampering risks.
FILSAFAT KETUHANAN AL-KINDI
Authors: BUYUNG ADHAN
Published: June 2024

Filsafat dan agama merupakan dua hal yang saling beriringan. Filsafat yang berangkat dari pemikiran dan agama yang dari keyakinan, mengakibatkan tak sedikit orang mengecam adanya filsafat yang dapat menggoyahkan keimanan seseorang. Sebaliknya para filosof muslim justru memahami agama secara filosofis untuk memperoleh pemahaman luas serta memperteguh keimanan. Pada abad ke VIII M al-Kindi hadir sebagai filosof muslim pertama yang menggagas tentang kesinambungan antara filsafat dan agama, bahwa antara filsafat dan agama sama-sama menjunjung kebenaran. Filsafat yang paling mulia bagi al-Kindi adalah Filsafat Pertama, yaitu usaha mengetahui 'illahi pertama, yakni Tuhan. Filsafat ketuhanan al-Kindi masuk pada lingkup metafisika.

Murayama and Jach rightfully aim to conceptualize motivation as an emergent property of a dynamic system of interacting elements. However, they do not embrace the ontological and paradigmatic constraints of the dynamic systems approach. They therefore miss the very process of emergence and how it can be formally modeled and tested by specific types of computer simulation.
Differential effects of negative valence and memory type on accuracy, confidence, and metacognitive efficiency

Emotion enhances the subjective experience of recollection. Previous research examined associations between memory accuracy and metamemory confidence judgments, but these studies have not quantified the relationship between accuracy and metacognitive confidence judgments. In this study we utilize signal detection theory frameworks to investigate how memory accuracy (measured by discrimination sensitivity) and the alignment between metamemory confidence judgments and memory accuracy (ie. metacognitive efficiency) varies for neutral and negative valence, as well as item and associative detail memory types. Our results indicate that valence and memory type have different effects on accuracy, confidence, and metacognitive efficiency. Negative valence was associated with enhanced accuracy for both items and associated details, but its relationship with response bias varied across memory types, with conservative recognition responses observed for items and liberal responses for associative details. We also observed a double dissociation between metamemory confidence judgements across valence and memory type with negative valence associated with increased confidence for item memory, but decreased confidence for associated details. Examining the association between memory accuracy and metamemory confidence revealed that metacognitive efficiency was greater for negatively valenced items compared to neutral, but this effect did not generalize to details associated with negatively valenced items. These findings advance our understanding of how arousing, negatively valenced information modulates memory and metacognition.

Although heritability estimates suggest a role for genetic components, environmental risk factors have been described as relevant in the etiology of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Over the last years several studies have investigated the role of toxicological pollution, i.e. the potential in ADHD role of chemical environmental risk factors as air pollution, heavy metals, POPs, and phthalates. Clear evidence for association of ADHD and environmental factors has not been provided yet. To answer this, we have assessed all available systematic reviews and meta-analyses that focused on the association between pollutants exposure and either ADHD diagnosis or symptoms. More than 1800 studies were screened of which 14 found eligible. We found evidence of a significant role for some pollutants, in particular heavy metals and phthalates, in the increased risk of developing ADHD symptoms. However, at the current stage, data from existing literature also do not allow to weight the role of the different environmental pollutants. We also offer a critical examination of the reviews/meta-analyses, with particular respect to their methodological quality, and provide indications for future studies in this field.

The Missing Dimension of Risk: Evidence from Inside Debt Maturity and Acquisition Choices*
Authors: Nie George Y.
Published: June 2024

Nie (2023) argues that asset risk is cumulative over the holding time length, suggesting that the literature misses the indispensable dimension of time length of managerial risk bound with asset untradability. Using a dummy orthogonalization methodology, I illustrate that the inside debt reduces the effect of age (which negatively proxies maturity) on managerial risk-shifting incentives in M&As, implying that the inside debt risk (captured as risk premium over maturity) approaches zero as maturity approaches zero. An experiment and instrumental variable approach confirm the evidence. The results complement Nie (2023) and challenge, thereby fixing, agency theories such as Jensen and Meckling (1976).
Knowledge and Attitude Regarding Rabies among Community People of Dhamboji -1, Nepalgunj, Banke
Authors: Shrestha Rajani Kumari
Published: June 2024

The virus that causes rabies spreads from one species to another through the saliva or tissues of the nervous system. When the rabies virus affects the central nervous system, it can lead to brain illness, death, and extremely agonizing neurological symptoms. Since rabies is a zoonotic illness, people can get it from other animals. With a 99.9% mortality rate, rabies is the worst illness on the planet. The study's goals were to determine the community members' knowledge and attitudes about rabies in Dhamboji-1, Nepalgunj, Banke. The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional research methodology, and sixty general residents of Dhamboji-1, Nepalgunj, Banke were chosen using a non-probability purposive sampling approach. For collecting data, a structured questionnaire was employed. The information was gathered in the month of Baisakh in 2081. Additionally, SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the acquired data using inferential descriptive statistics. The study's findings show that, when it came to rabies, more than half of the respondents—31, or 51.7% had average knowledge, a quarter18, or 30 % had bad knowledge, and the least11, or 18.3% had strong knowledge. In a similar vein, 25% of respondents 13(22) had a positive attitude, almost 50% of respondents 28(46.7) had a neutral attitude, and over 25% of respondents 19 (31.3) had negative attitude. While no other variable shows a significant relationship between level of knowledge and attitude and demographic variables like age, sex, religion, educational status, level of education, occupation, family monthly income, history of animal bite, if yes, which animal, vaccination status, pet ownership, and if yes, pet owner status, there was a significant association between level of knowledge and attitude and demographic variables like heard about rabies and source of information.

{The aim of the presented research article was to investigate the aspects of peace education in school level education. The study has been conducted in a qualitative framework. Peace education has been studied in basic level curriculum, national objectives of education, basic level competencies. There are no clear national education objectives and level objectives related to peace education. Aspects related to peace are social studies, Nepali, science, health and physical, creative and moral education. These subjects include sociality, human values, faith, service, democracy, democracy, harmony, cooperation, character, morality, unity, friendship, tolerance, philanthropy and human rights, mainly in school curriculum, national education objectives, level objectives, themes, and teaching. Clear aspects of peace education should be kept in facilitation. In other forms of education, non-formal education, distance education, teacher training, school seminars and programs like peace education should also be made widespread. To make peace in the school, society and country, to inculcate the consciousness of peace, to build a civilized society, the inner peace of every person should be developed. Meditation and yoga aspects should be used in various aspects of school and society. Aspects of peace should be taken as an integral part of daily life and social life. Important aspects of peace The Vedic aspects of Eastern philosophies and Tripitaka aspects of Buddhist philosophy should be organized and effectively implemented in school education.}
