VERITÀ E FIDUCIA NELL’ERA DEL TRANSUMANESIMO
Authors: Valera Luca , Bertolaso Marta
Published: July 2023

Riassunto: Nel presente articolo si analizzerà come, a fronte del paradigma transumanista che opera per una progressiva inclusione dell’uomo nel suo stesso processo di ‘miglioramento’ del mondo, è sempre più pressante la domanda sulla dinamica tra verità (truth) e fiducia (trust) nella relazione uomo-macchina e nella riflessione etica degli enti che orientano gli odierni processi di innovazione bio-tecnologica. Le visioni che emergono – frutto rispettivamente del paradigma transumanista e di un’ecologia umana che restituisce all’uomo il senso della sua storia e del suo vivere in relazione – non sono banalmente antitetiche: poggiano su due visioni dell’uomo scientifico profondamente diverse. Si propone quindi che un modo costruttivo per coniugare verità e fiducia nella nostra società contemporanea, dipenderà sempre più dall’idea di uomo che con la scienza vogliamo servire, coniugando il progresso bio-tecnologico con l’incompletezza biologica che caratterizza l’uomo.

Parole chiave: Transumanesimo; Estraneità; Dignità; Verità; Fiducia.

Resumen: Analizaremos cómo, ante el paradigma transhumanista, que intenta incluir al ser humano en el proceso de “mejora” del mundo, es cada vez más apremiante la pregunta por la relación entre la verdad (truth) y la confianza (trust). Nos referimos a la relación entre una narrativa verdadera sobre la tecnología y la confianza que en dicha tecnología podemos depositar. Esta pregunta se plantea en el ámbito de la relación hombre-máquina, así como en la reflexión ética sobre la innovación biotecnológica. Emergen aquí dos visiones, que no son simplemente antitéticas: la propia del paradigma transhumanista y la propia de una ecología humana que nos devuelve el sentido histórico y social de nuestra vida. Estas dos visiones se corresponden también con dos concepciones profundamente diferentes del ser humano. Entendemos, pues, que una forma constructiva de combinar la verdad y la confianza en nuestra sociedad contemporánea dependerá cada vez más de la idea de ser humano a la que la ciencia pretenda servir. Para servir realmente al ser humano, la ciencia habrá de combinar el progreso biotecnológico con la incompletitud biológica que nos caracteriza.

Palabras clave: transhumanismo; extrañeza; dignidad; verdad; confianza.
SUBJETIVIDAD EN LA ERA DE LAS REDES SOCIALES
Authors: Linares Salgado Jorge E.
Published: July 2023

Este artículo cuestiona filosóficamente, a partir de las tesis de Günther Anders, el uso masivo de las redes sociales y la forma en que configuran la subjetividad y la intersubjetividad, particularmente en cuanto a los efectos cognitivos sobre la verdad, las creencias y la objetividad. El uso intensivo y compulsivo de las redes sociales ha permitido una comunicación casi instantánea y una sociedad presta a la observación y vigilancia de todos los aspectos de la vida cotidiana y de la política; pero, al mismo tiempo, ha impulsado una sociedad de la intrusión, el voyerismo, el juicio moral lapidario y el linchamiento público de personajes famosos o de cualquier persona acosada por sus conductas, aunque estas pudieran no ser verdaderas. Manuel Castells observaba en La era de la información (2000), que en nuestra época se ha trastocado el tiempo, se han fundido y confundido lo real y lo virtual, lo público y lo privado, generando nuevos problemas éticos, jurídicos y políticos. Tenemos ahora una subjetividad hipersensibilizada, saturada de información, de verdades y falsedades indistinguibles que complican la comunicación y el sentido compartido de la realidad, así como las responsabilidades y las acciones sociales efectivas para contribuir al bien público.
FILOSOFÍA DE JULIÁN MARÍAS COMO MÉTODO PARA PENSAR LA JUSTICIA SOCIAL Y LA FELICIDAD
Authors: García del Portillo Lourdes
Published: July 2023

Este trabajo analiza los conceptos de justicia social y felicidad en la filosofía de Julián Marías con el fin de alcanzar tres metas: comprender su sentido; mostrar cómo pudo llegar a visiones originales de ellos gracias a que su teoría está fundamentada en una metafísica, y alumbrar cómo esta es un método para que podamos seguir pensando. Para ello, se revisan las tres grandes perspectivas filosóficas de Marías –la estructura analítica, la empírica y la de la persona– para indagar qué se entiende por justicia social y felicidad. Asimismo, desde cada uno de estos puntos de vista se buscan las conexiones entre ambos temas. Finalmente se analiza si es verosímil esperar que haya una vida tras la muerte biológica, puesto que, según el filósofo, la perduración es una condición necesaria para que sea posible tanto la verdadera felicidad como la justicia social derivada de ella.
DE LA FILOSOFÍA DEL LÍMITE AL HOMBRE COMO HABITANTE DE LA FRONTERA. LA ANTROPOLOGÍA FILOSÓFICA DE EUGENIO TRÍAS
Authors: Vilarroig Martín Jaime
Published: July 2023

En este artículo se pretende exponer la antropología de Eugenio Trías como clave de comprensión de toda su filosofía. Para ello se estudia primero su ontología, en torno al ser del límite, y los tres cercos: cerco del aparecer, cerco hermético y cerco del límite. En un segundo momento se estudia su antropología filosófica, propiamente dicha, que analiza al hombre como habitante de la frontera o ser fronterizo. El hombre es entendido como un límite entre lo divino y lo animal, entre la naturaleza de la que proviene (nacimiento) y el arcano hacia el que se mueve (muerte). Por último se analiza cómo esta antropología de Trías permite acceder a campos que la filosofía había descuidado, como pueden ser la ética y la religión.
CAPITALISMO COMO LOCURA:
Authors: Romero-Wenz Lukas
Published: July 2023

En este artículo explico una parte de la labor de G. K. Chesterton como crítico económico: su crítica al sistema capitalista. Con la imagen de la locura (loco sería, no el incapacitado para razonar, sino el que vive fuera de la realidad), considera al capitalismo como una locura porque su discurso es coherente pero no ofrece una vida digna para el ser humano: el capitalismo quita la libertad al proletario, le obliga a desvincularse espiritualmente de su propiedad y le desalienta cuando propone alternativas económicas. Desarrollo también cómo otros autores coinciden con Chesterton, con críticas parecidas.
“EL TRABAJO LIBERA”… ¿DE QUÉ? DOS REFLEXIONES A PROPÓSITO DE BAUMAN
Authors: Martínez Mares Sara , Santón Moreno Juan Eduardo
Published: July 2023

El objetivo principal es propiciar la reflexión acerca de las premisas sobre las que se asienta nuestra asimilada centralización del “trabajo” en nuestras vidas. El trabajo a menudo transcurre por encima de otros aspectos también significativos. La reflexión será guiada, entre otros, a través de la estimulante lectura de la obra de Bauman Trabajo, consumismo y nuevos pobres. Los ejes de reflexión son dos. En primer lugar, comparar históricamente la perspectiva sobre la concepción del trabajador industrial con la perspectiva sobre el trabajador contemporáneo y desde su propia autocomprensión: parece que hayamos asimilado el “vivir para trabajar” y descartado el “trabajar para vivir”. Esta comparación es pertinente, aunque hoy predomine un paradigma novedoso de flexibilidad que, en ausencia de un compromiso duradero con un trabajo, genera una nueva aproximación a nuestra autoconcepción. Por tanto, ¿qué marco de interpretación tenemos para concebimos a nosotros mismos? En segundo lugar, como consecuencia del primer análisis: si el trabajo y sus exigencias ocupan la mayor parte de nuestro tiempo, es probable que haya consecuencias a nivel antropológico. ¿Qué pasa con el resto de actividades humanas o de bienes –la amistad, la familia, el conocimiento, etc.– que necesitan ser cultivados también para adquirir una vida desarrollada?
BUEN CAMINO HACIA EL FIN DE LA POBREZA. DEL PARADIGMA MONETARISTA AL ENFOQUE DE DERECHOS HUMANOS
Authors: Talavera Fernández Pedro
Published: July 2023

El planteamiento y las vías de acción que los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la ONU proponen para alcanzar el fin de la pobreza extrema para el año 2030 continúa asumiendo un enfoque “monetarista” basado en el “umbral de renta mínima” (vivir con menos de 2 dólares diarios) y se aleja del enfoque de derechos humanos, expresado en su informe de 2012, avalando la metodología economicista de autores como Sachs, basada en reproducir, para los países pobres, la senda del crecimiento económico que han seguido los países ricos. El presente trabajo pretende, por un lado, poner en evidencia los errores y límites de la concepción economicista y del análisis monetarista de la pobreza y, por otro, indicar las vías propuestas por autores como Sen y Pogge para que pueda verificarse un cambio trascendental de perspectiva que afronte el fenómeno desde la concepción de una vida digna y la satisfacción de los derechos básicos que de ella se derivan.
Diéguez, A. (2021). Cuerpos Inadecuados. El desafío transhumanista a la filosofía. Barcelona: Herder
Authors: Monterde Ferrando Rafael
Published: July 2023

En el año 2017, el profesor Antonio Diéguez Lucena nos brindó la oportunidad de conocer sintéticamente el pensamiento transhumanista cuando publicó Transhumanismo. La búsqueda tecnológica del mejoramiento humano. Fue una gran oportunidad para el público de habla hispana la recepción de una obra de estas características, pues Diéguez logró, con rigor académico y profundo diálogo filosófico, abordar las principales cuestiones —tanto desde un punto de vista cultural como tecnológico— que el pensamiento transhumanista plantea.

La labor investigadora y divulgadora del profesor Diéguez no acabó con esa publicación. Por eso, en plena pandemia del COVID-19, publicó en el año 2021 su último libro sobre el pensamiento transhumanista, en el que continúa reflexionando sobre algunos temas tratados en el anterior y los desarrolla. La obra se titula Cuerpos inadecuados. El desafío transhumanista a la filosofía. Con su estilo sutil y discreto, Diéguez cuestiona las promesas transhumanistas de nuevo y nos invita a leerle con detenimiento, pues paulatinamente desarticula parte del andamiaje filosófico del transhumanismo enfriando, como en su primera obra sobre este tema, las promesas de este movimiento tecnocultural.
Persson, I. & Savulescu, J. (2019). Inadatti al futuro. L’esigenza di un potenziamento morale. Torino: Rosenberg & Sellier
Authors: Paladino María Soledad
Published: July 2023

El presente libro es una traducción en lengua italiana del original inglés publicado en 2012. Ingmar Persson y Julien Savulescu son reconocidas voces en la discusión académica sobre el potenciamiento moral la cual traspasó las fronteras del ámbito anglosajón.

La estructura de la obra se asemeja a una pirámide: el lector se va aproximando al núcleo del potenciamiento moral transitando los nueve capítulos que preceden al último en el cual, como cima de la obra, se ofrece una exposición completa de la temática. Esta estructura refleja la intención de los autores, esto es, reconocer que el potenciamiento moral es la única salida posible para resolver los problemas resultantes del mal uso de la tecnología. En efecto, una de las principales tesis del libro es evidenciar que gracias a la ciencia y la tecnología el hombre cambió radicalmente las condiciones de su vida mientras que su psicología moral permaneció inalterada a lo largo del tiempo. En consecuencia, el hombre no está dotado con una psicología moral adecuada que le permita afrontar los acuciantes problemas morales creados por las nuevas condiciones de vida. Entre los principales problemas se cuentan la posibilidad de utilizar armas de destrucción masiva, el cambio climático y la degradación del ambiente.

Ammoniozippeite from the Jáchymov ore district, Krušné hory Mountains (Czech Republic) - description and Raman spectroscopy
Authors: Sejkora Jiří , Dolníček Zdeněk , Plášil Jakub
Published: July 2023

We have undertaken a study of the rare ammonium uranyl sulphate mineral, ammoniozippeite, from the Jáchymov ore district, Krušné hory Mountains (Czech Republic). It has been found on a few specimens and forms rich crystalline aggregates in thin cracks of supergene altered rocks with uraninite veinlets in association with gypsum. Its radially arranged aggregates are composed by well-developed flattened acicular crystals up to 1 mm in length. Ammoniozippeite is bright yellow and locally even yellow-orange with pale yellow streak and fluoresces yellow, weak or dull under 254 nm and 366 nm UV-radiation, respectively. Ammoniozippeite crystals are transparent to translucent and have an intensive vitrous luster. It is a very brittle and at least one system of perfect cleavage (along {010}) was observed. The quantitative chemical analyses of ammoniozippeite agree well with the proposed ideal composition and correspond to the following empirical formula [(NH4)1.96K0.11]Σ2.07[(UO2)2(SO4)1.98O2.06]·H2O (on the basis of 2 U atoms pfu). Ammoniozippeite is orthorhombic, the space group Ccmb, with the unit-cell parameters refined from X-ray powder diffraction data: a 8.7862(13), b 14.1579(19), c 17.162(2) Å and V 2134.8(4) Å3. Vibrational (Raman and infrared) spectroscopy documented the presence molecular water, ammonium, uranyl and suphate units in the crystal structure of ammoniozippeite.
Sulfidická mineralizace s Au-bohatým stříbrem z Utína v havlíčkobrodském rudním revíru (Česká republika)
Authors: Pauliš Petr , Kopecký Stanislav , Dolníček Zdeněk , Sejkora Jiří
Published: July 2023

Sulphide mineralization was found in relics of mine dumps from medieval mining near Utín, at SE part of the Havlíčkův Brod ore district (Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, Czech Republic). It is represented by pyrite, Fe-rich sphalerite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, galena (with chemical compositions corresponding to other occurrences of this ore district) and more rare jamesonite and boulangerite. The main Ag ore was probably Ag-rich member of tetrahedrite group - kenoargentotetrahedrite-(Fe) with empirical formula (Ag5.45Cu4.48)Σ9.93(Fe1.75Zn0.32Mn0.01)Σ2.08Sb4.00S12.05. Another interesting mineral found in this association is Au-rich silver with Au contents in the range 53.35 - 56.40 wt. % and average empirical formula Ag0.60Au0.39. Schultenite, minerals of the pharmacosiderite group and inhomogeneous Fe-arsenates were detected from the rarely represented supergene mineralization.
Příspěvek k petrografii a mineralogii lokality Vyskočilka (Praha-Malá Chuchle, silur Barrandienu)
Authors: Dolníček Zdeněk , Velebil Dalibor , Ulmanová Jana
Published: July 2023

Classical locality Vyskočilka in the Barrandian Basin displays a well-exposed section of black Silurian shales penetrated by a ca. 10-m thick diabase sill. We examined the petrographic character and mineral composition of the intrusive body and enclosing shales, as well as the hydrothermal veins cutting the rocks. The diabase is a rock with basic affinity (paleobasaltoid), which was strongly influenced by post-magmatic alterations including albitization and zeolitization of feldspars as well as chloritization of clinopyroxenes and Fe-Ti spinelides. Host sediments show variously intense thermal overprint at the contact with the sill. The predominating Silurian shales are rarely accompanied by laminites, formed by siliciclastic material, calcite, apatite and probably also a pyroclastic component. A minor component of all sediments are Ti-rich chromspinelides, which are classified as chromite, magnetite, and spinel. Chromspinelides form isolated euhedral single crystals reaching up to 50 µm in size, as well as their intergrowths and fragments, which all do not display marks of abrasion due to transport. We therefore presuppose that they represent relics of ultrabasic pyroclastic material (volcanic ash), which was deposited during sedimentation of Silurian sediments. There are known few sills of Silurian meimechites in the Prague Basin containing chromspinelides with comparable chemical composition, which can thus represent a likely source of chromspinelides. The vein hydrothermal mineralizations, present at the study site, probably originated during different geological processes. The calcite veins with minor quartz and hydrocarbons likely formed during Variscan tectono-thermal overprint of the area. By contrast, the vein mineralization containing calcite, quartz, titanite, anatase, and Zn-Fe-Ni-Cu sulphides was likely associated with contact-metamorphic processes related to intrusion of diabase.

O Estilo de Vida (EV) pode ser conceituado como uma forma cultural e social de viver, abrangendo hábitos e condutas que contribuem positiva ou negativamente para a saúde.  Na docência, houve um crescimento na ocorrência de Doenças Crônicas Não-Transmissíveis (DCNT) relacionadas ao EV. As DCNT possuem como característica o desenvolvimento de longa duração. O estudo buscou conhecer o EV dos professores e analisar a presença de DCNT de acordo com as alterações no EV. Trata-se de um estudo observacional e descritivo, de corte transversal do tipo quali-quantitativo. Foi aplicado um questionário estruturado, denominado "Estilo de Vida Fantástico" de forma on-line. Além disso, foi realizada a identificação das DCNT autodeclaradas. Foi tabulado os dados e o calculado os escores dos domínios e o escore total do questionário. Na comparação dos domínios e escore FANTASTIC entre indivíduos com e sem DCNT, somente o escore do domínio introspecção foi significativamente menor em pessoas com DCNT. A maioria dos professores não apresentaram DCNT e dentre os doentes, predominou HAS e rinite. A pontuação do score total do questionário foi elevada, mesmo nos participantes portadores de DCNT. Conclui-se que o EV é um fator importante para a manutenção da saúde e da qualidade de vida.

Pathological mutation of potassium channel subfamily T member 1 (KCNT1) gene causes an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by secondarily generalised seizures/migratory focal seizure, cyanosis, and dysmorphic features. We report the case of a five-month-old male with pathological KCNT1 variant who presented with focal clonic seizures, Mongol spots, and grade two systolic murmur at the left lower sternal border and loud P2. The seizures were refractory to most anti-epileptic drugs but showed some response to Valproic acid. This case demonstrated that EIMFS is a grave infantile epileptic encephalopathy which is refractory to anti-epileptic drugs and can present with a wide spectrum of neurogenic and cardiogenic symptoms.

Published: July 2023

Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis is a rare disorder, with recurrent life-threatening alveolar haemorrhages and chronic lung parenchymal changes. It is associated with a triad of haemoptysis, iron deficiency anaemia, and diffuse pulmonary infiltrates. Although most cases are idiopathic, secondary haemosiderosis linked to known diseases has also been observed. Most of the cases remain undiagnosed because the disease is very low on the list of differentials.
There is no specified age for the disease. The present study reports on an adolescent female patient who presented with microcytic anaemia and bilateral lung infiltrates to the National Institute of Child Health (NICH), Karachi, a tertiary care hospital. She was diagnosed with Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis after ruling out other possibilities.
Keywords: Pulmonary haemosiderosis, Alveolar haemorrhages, Lung disease, Alveolar hypoventilation syndrome.

Published: July 2023

Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed malignancy in men worldwide. The prevalence has been increasing with significant differences between regions. This study assesses the prevalence of incidental prostate cancer detected in specimens removed during bladder outlet obstruction operation.
A retrospective analysis of the records of patients who had either endoscopic or open prostatectomy from January 1998 to December 2021 was conducted. The variables analysed were age, procedure, date of surgery, and Gleason score.
A total of 2,842 patients underwent surgery on the prostate gland during the study period. Most of the patients, i.e. 2,733 (96.2%), were pathologically diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia, while only 110 (3.9%) had prostate cancer.
The frequency of incidental prostate cancer following surgery for bladder outlet obstruction has decreased over the last two decades at our centre, possibly because of an increase in PSA testing.
Climate Change, COVID-19, and Flood disasters in Pakistan
Authors: Muhammad Ameer , Noor Saba
Published: July 2023

In the aftermath of recent floods, Pakistan has been confronting several challenges such as infrastructural damages and economic decline. Despite its efforts to prepare for potential pandemics like COVID-19, limited healthcare resources, insufficient funding for research and development, and inadequate public awareness are some of the obstacles that hinder its full preparedness.1 The recent floods have further aggravated Pakistan's struggle to contain COVID-19 by disrupting healthcare services and vaccine distribution.2 Additionally, climate change is affecting maternal and child health in the country, with extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, causing a decrease in access to essential resources like food and water, and an increase in disease exposure, which ultimately impacts the overall wellbeing of the population.3 Such as malnutrition and the spread of waterborne diseases have a direct impact on the health of pregnant women and children, increasing the risk of complications during pregnancy and delivery and increasing the risk of illness and premature birth, low birth weight, and other health problems in new-borns or even death in early childhood.4,5
Addressing the impact of climate change, COVID-19, and floods on the affected areas in Pakistan requires a multi-faceted approach that involves multiple sectors, including the government, healthcare, and the private sector. Some of the key solutions include:

Improving access to healthcare: Increasing the number of healthcare facilities and ensuring that they are equipped with the necessary resources, including personal protective equipment, to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and other health emergencies.
Improving access to clean water and sanitation: Providing clean water and sanitation facilities in affected areas to reduce the risk of waterborne diseases, particularly in the aftermath of floods.
Strengthening disaster preparedness and response: Implementing effective disaster preparedness and response plans to ensure that communities are prepared for and can quickly respond to extreme weather events and other disasters.
Increasing funding for research and development: Supporting research and development activities to find solutions to the challenges posed by climate change, COVID-19, and other health emergencies.
Improving public awareness: Increasing public awareness about the importance of preventative measures, such as vaccination, hand hygiene, and healthy behaviours, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other diseases.
Promoting sustainable development: Encouraging sustainable development practices, such as the use of renewable energy sources and conservation of natural resources, to reduce the impact of climate change on the environment and health.
