Nietzsche como decisão: a interpretação de Heidegger da sentença nietzschiana “Deus está morto”
Authors: Silva José Roberto da
Published: September 2020

O objetivo do presente artigo é mostrar a interpretação heideggeriana de Nietzsche, considerando que Heidegger, mesmo acusando Nietzsche de metafísico, apropria-se, em parte, do seu pensamento. Esta apropriação dá-se mediante a questão do tempo. Há na obra de Heidegger indícios de que Nietzsche, e o seu conceito temporal de devir, enquanto assunção do que advém, o influencia no desenvolvimento do conceito de temporalidade enquanto horizonte essencial da existência humana. Isto se acena quando Nietzsche, através de seu anúncio da “morte de Deus”, denuncia a metafísica como niilista, quer dizer, como uma forma de pensar ressentida contra o tempo. No conceito nietzschiano de vontade de potência, Heidegger autoriza o mesmo como devir. Porém, entendemos que este devir seja finito, não da ordem atemporal, como apregoa Heidegger. Assim, Heidegger critica a forma que Nietzsche entende o tempo, mas desenvolve seu pensamento a partir da relação essencial que há entre a metafísica e o tempo anunciada pelo pensamento nietzscheano.
Wittgenstein sobre o método da filosofia: esclarecimento da linguagem pela linguagem
Authors: Latansio Vanessa Duron
Published: September 2020

O presente artigo esboça, muito brevemente, a proposta wittgensteiniana sobre o que ele considera ser o método correto na filosofia, ou seja, o esclarecimento da linguagem pela própria linguagem e como, por meio deste, os problemas epistemológicos podem ser revistos. Este modelo corresponde ao segundo método da filosofia de Wittgenstein, pós-1929. Na primeira seção expomos o que Wittgenstein considera ser o erro do filósofo em relação ao cientista e na segunda seção, uma análise do uso da palavra “saber”. Estas duas seções pretendem dar uma caracterização do entorno da filosofia wittgensteiniana tardia e, como dissemos, expor o método por ele proposto.
Rectifying Metasurface with High Efficiency at Low Power for 2.45GHz Band
Authors: Hong Sun , Lee Kanghyeok
Published: September 2020

A novel rectifying metasurface presented that features high efficiency at low power applicable to wireless power transfer and energy harvesting. The proposed rectifying metasurface

is a two-sided structure consisting of modified electric inductive-capacitive unit cells on one side and a rectifying circuitry on the other, designed to resonate and rectify at 2.45 GHz. Each unit cell is directly connected to a voltage doubler rectifier, allowing the incident microwaves to be directly rectified upon reception. The impedance characteristics and rectification performance of the proposed rectifying metasurface are tested via numerical simulation

and measurement, respectively. The measured results demonstrate the overall conversion efficiency electromagnetic power absorption + rectification) of 75% at 0.4 dBm incident power.
When Probabilistic Shaping Realizes Improper Signaling for Hardware Distortion Mitigation
Authors: Javed Sidrah , Elzanaty Ahmed , Amin Osama , Shihada Basem , Alouini Mohamed-Slim
Published: September 2020

Hardware distortions (HWD) render drastic effects on the performance of communication systems. They are recently proven to bear asymmetric signatures; and hence can be efficiently mitigated using improper Gaussian signaling (IGS), thanks to its additional design degrees of freedom. Discrete asymmetric signaling (AS) can practically realize the IGS by shaping the signals' geometry or probability. In this paper, we adopt the probabilistic shaping (PS) instead of uniform symbols to mitigate the impact of HWD and derive the optimal maximum a posterior detector. Then, we design the symbols' probabilities to minimize the error rate performance while accommodating the improper nature of HWD. Although the design problem is a non-convex optimization problem, we simplified it using successive convex programming and propose an iterative algorithm. We further present a hybrid shaping (HS) design to gain the combined benefits of both PS and geometric shaping (GS). Finally, extensive numerical results and Monte-Carlo simulations highlight the superiority of the proposed PS over conventional uniform constellation and GS. Both PS and HS achieve substantial improvements over the traditional uniform constellation and GS with up to one order magnitude in error probability and throughput.

Published: September 2020

Peternak di Indonesia khususnya unggas mau tidak mau harus beralih dari penggunaan pakan ternak mengandung Antibiotik Growth Promotor (AGP) menuju pakan ternak non AGP. Kebiasaan peternak menggunakan produk pakan yang mengandung AGP secara berlebihan menimbulkan dampak buruk bagi produktifitas ternak. Selain itu ternak menjadi rentan terserang penyakit. Alternatif solusi bahan yang dapat digunakan sebagai pengganti Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGP) dalam pakan ternak adalah Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) pada pakan ternak itik sebagai bahan pengganti Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGP). Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan rata-rata bobot badan antara kelompok kontrol dan perlakuan. Pada kelompok perlakuan aktifitas gerak itik dan nafsu makan tampak lebih tinggi dari kelompok kontrol. Kecepatan pertumbuhan bulu itik berbeda antara kelompok kontrol dan kelompok  perlakuan.  Angka kematian pada kelompok kontrol lebih  tinggi dari kelompok perlakuan.
COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND ITS IMPACT ON DYNAMICS OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS, WITH RESPECT TO INDIA
Authors: Arun Kumar L.S
Published: September 2020

International business is essential for the countries to generate Economic growth or to increase in exports and reduce in imports, it encompasses all commercial and economic activities between the nations to promote the ideas, resources, transfer the goods and services, technologies across the national borders. In every country has limited resources therefore a country cannot produce all the goods and services that it requires. The present context of the world, there is imbalance in production and supply factors due to Covid-19 pandemic, which has resulted in market imbalances (demand and supply). The world economy has been hit hard by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, as on June end more than ten 10 million people around the globe had been affected by this pandemic, India, USA and others are worst hit countries with decrease in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and increase in unemployment rate. It may be useful to also note that prolonged lockdowns will eventually imply production shortfalls, may lead to increase in unemployment; decrease in demand for products, slowly running out stocks. In recent forecast of World Trade Organisation (WTO) indicated a clear fall in world trade between 13 per cent and 32 per cent in 2020, perhaps the highest fall since the Great Depression of 1930s.
India and world can overcome the challenges by specific government fiscal and monetary policies, by providing economic relief packages and increase in employment opportunities by digitalisation in all the sectors of the economy to increase in accountability, convenience, and gross production, and investment, job security to casual labours or migrant workers. These factors may change the world present situation to productive or welfare economy. The purpose of the research paper is to explain Economic and Business crisis, due to covid-19 in present situation in India and the world.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah membongkar makna religi dalam puisi “Selamat Tahun Baru, Kawan” terutama di era 4.0 menggunakan semiotic budaya. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis descriptive menggunaka pisau semiotic budaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa puisi Gus Mus fokus membahas urusan keyakinan yang menjadi identitas pada bangsa Indonesia yang dikaitkan dengan era sekarang, mengabaikan esensi dan cenderung lebih menunjukkan citra saja dengan memamerkan kegiatan beribadah disosial media agar mendapat pengakuan di kalangan sosial. Selain itu, unsur sosial-budaya yang muncul adalah sentimen sebagai parameter stabilitas sosial dan tujuan yang menjadi arah pergerakan masyarakat. Tidak ketinggalan adalah kekuasaan yang menentukan dan dominasi pada masyarakat, serta ketegangan juga bermain dengan penuturan yang paradoks. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa, puisi Gus Mus mengkritik fenomena- fenomena aktivitas sosial-budaya masyarakat Indonesia di era 4.0.

Abstract - Religious Constructions in the Viewpoint of Mustafa Bisri in the 4.0 era through a semiotic cultural approach. This study aims to dismantle the religious meaning in the poem “Selamat Tahun Baru, Kawan” especially in the 4.0 era using semiotic culture. The method used is a descriptive analysis using a cultural semiotic approach. The results showed that Gus Mus's poetry focused on discussing the beliefs that became the identity of the Indonesian people that were questioned by the current era, opposing the essence, and enhancing the image of images only by exhibiting worship activities on social media to get social recognition. Also, not socio-cultural issues that emerge are sentiments as social parameters and goals that are the direction of the community movement. Besides, the power that determines and domination in society, also settlement plays with a paradoxical narrative. It could be concluded. Gus Mus's poetry criticizes the phenomena of the socio-cultural activities of Indonesian people in the 4.0 era.

The recent outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus in China, which was tentatively named 2019-nCoV, and now officially declared as COVID-19 by the World Health Organization (WHO), [1] has caused a lot of panic around the world and forced nations to react with extreme measures. Whereas some of these reactions sought to support China, which is the central source of the outbreak, most of the reactions were meant to protect the international community from the risk of exposure to the fast-spreading infection. This commentary reviews the reactions from many countries across the globe, with regards to international supports rendered to China, closure of borders and visa restrictions, and expat evacuation and quarantining.

E. T. A. Hoffmann’s Visual Light-Near Dissociation – Prostitute’s Pupil
Authors: Hughes Jolyon Timothy
Published: September 2020

In E.T.A. Hoffmann’s Nachtstücke (1816/1817) the opening tale, Der Sandmann, has a young physics student Nathanael as its main character, one who suffers from certain psychological, neurotic, and visual disorders stemming from trauma experienced in his childhood.
In this somewhat epistolary tale, he is tortured by the idea of the Sandman who comes after children if they won’t go to bed, throws sand in their eyes, and inflicts bleeding from the eyes. The Sandmen have crooked beaks, similar to owls’, with which they can pluck out the eyes
of naughty children. In Hoffmann’s tale, the story of the Sandman and what it did to children haunted Nathanael for the rest of his life. A figure called Coppelius, the night visitor, who wanted eyes and was also Nathanael’s father’s master, personified the Sandman for him.

Does Quality Make a Difference for Higher Education Graduates in Colombia? Measuring Differences in Accredited and Non-accredited Institutions With Similar Financial Characteristics
Authors: Cayon Edgardo , Correa Juan Santiago , Sarmiento Julio Alejandro
Published: September 2020

In this paper we explore the difference of quality in higher education between accredited and non-accredited higher education institutions (HEIs) in Colombia. For that purpose we test if the difference of the National Exam of Student Performance (Saber Pro), which is our proxy for quality between institutional accredited and non-accredited institutions is statistically significant. The hypothesis is that indeed those HEIs that have been granted the institutional quality accreditation by the Colombian ministry of education should have better results in the national exam than those that not. We argue that for robustness of the results, it is necessary to control for confounding effects among comparable HEIs. For this purpose, we employ a propensity matching score approach based on common financial characteristics in order to avoid issues of selection bias. Our results find that the difference in performance between accredited and non-accredited institutions is positive and statistically significant. This difference between performances can be attributable to the substantial differences in the pattern of expenditures and asset investment of non-accredited HEIs.
An evaluation of social networks within federally funded research projects
Authors: Dossou Kpanou Bidossessi , Kelsey Kathleen , Bower Kyle
Published: September 2020

United States federal agencies fund research to promote discovery and innovation. Most agencies require collaboration because teams promote productivity to a greater degree than singular researchers. However, the functionality and productivity of collaboration is poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the collaborative structure of a federally funded entomology research team to determine the characteristics of the network structure and its impact on research collaboration using social network analysis (SNA) methodology. An online survey and interviews were used to collect data. The theories of social network, strong and weak ties, and scientific collaboration were employed to determine the degree of collaboration among team members. We found a low density pattern of collaboration that was associated with: (a) a centralized pattern, (b) the presence of sub-teams functioning like sub-networks, and (c) the presence of less interactive members. Our results confirm that the SNA approach was useful for evaluating network collaboration with innovative indicators to assess the dynamics of scientific collaboration. The study was limited by non-response. Future research should focus on collecting SNA data longitudinally of the whole network to determine how networking structure and benefits evolves over time, and how strong and weak ties impact scientific discovery.
Wave Composition, Propagation, and Polarization of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence within 0.3 au as Observed by Parker Solar Probe
Authors: Zhu Xingyu , He Jiansen , Verscharen Daniel , Duan Die , Bale Stuart D.
Published: September 2020

Turbulence, a ubiquitous phenomenon in interplanetary space, is crucial for the energy conversion of space plasma at multiple scales. This work focuses on the propagation, polarization, and wave composition properties of the solar wind turbulence within 0.3 au, and its variation with heliocentric distance at magnetohydrodynamic scales (from 10 s to 1000 s in the spacecraft frame). We present the probability density function of propagation wavevectors (PDF (k
∥, k
⊥)) for solar wind turbulence within 0.3 au for the first time: (1) wavevectors cluster quasi-(anti-)parallel to the local background magnetic field for kd
i < 0.02, where d
i is the ion inertial length; (2) wavevectors shift to quasi-perpendicular directions for kd
i > 0.02. Based on our wave composition diagnosis, we find that: the outward/anti-sunward Alfvén mode dominates over the whole range of scales and distances, the spectral energy density fraction of the inward/sunward fast mode decreases with distance, and the fractional energy densities of the inward and outward slow mode increase with distance. The outward fast mode and inward Alfvén mode represent minority populations throughout the explored range of distances and scales. On average, the degree of anisotropy of the magnetic fluctuations defined with respect to the minimum variation direction decreases with increasing scale, with no trend in distance at any scale. Our results provide comprehensive insight into the scenario of transport and transfer of the solar wind fluctuations/turbulence in the inner heliosphere.

Caddisflies are a highly diverse group of aquatic insects, particularly in the Neotropical region where there is a high number of endemic taxa. Based on taxonomic contributions published until August 2019, a total of 796 caddisfly species have been recorded from Brazil. Taxonomic data about Brazilian caddisflies are currently open access at the “Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil” website (CTFB), an on-line database with taxonomic information on the animal species occurring in Brazil. The order Trichoptera at CTFB includes a catalog of species recorded for the country, with synonymic lists, distribution throughout six biomes, 12 hydrographic regions, and 27 political states (including Federal District) from Brazil. The database is constantly updated to include newly published data. In this study, we reviewed the taxonomic effort on Brazilian caddisflies based on data currently in CTFB database. The accumulation curve of species described or recorded from the country, by year, shows a strong upward trend in last 25 years, indicating that it is possible that there are many more species to be described. Based on presence/absence of caddisfly species at three geographic levels (biomes, hydrographic regions, and states), second order Jackknife estimated at least 1,586 species occurring in Brazil (with hydrographic regions as unities), indicating we currently know about 50% of the Brazilian caddisfly fauna. Species distribution by Brazilian biomes reveals that the Atlantic Forest is the most diverse, with 490 species (298 endemic), followed by the Amazon Forest, with 255 species (101 endemic). Even though these numbers may be biased because there has been more intense collecting in these two biomes, the percentage of endemic caddisfly species in the Atlantic Forest is remarkable. Considering the distribution throughout hydrographic regions, clustering analyses (UPGMA) based on incidence data reveals two groups: northwestern basins and southeastern. Although these groups have weak bootstrap support and low similarity in species composition, this division of Brazilian caddisfly fauna could be related to Amazon-Atlantic Forest disjunction, with the South American dry diagonal acting as a potential barrier throughout evolutionary time.
A new troglobite species of Habeastrum Simone, 2019 from Brazil, and support for classification in Diplommatinidae (Mollusca, Caenogastropoda)
Authors: Simone Luiz Ricardo L. , Cavallari Daniel Caracanhas , Salvador Rodrigo Brincalepe
Published: September 2020

The genus Habeastrum Simone, 2019 was recently described based on empty shells, counting with two troglobite species. Conchological features allowed a preliminary classification in the caenogastropod family Diplommatinidae, but this family allocation was left open to future studies. Herein, we present a detailed anatomical study of newly acquired specimens, confirming the classification in Diplommatinidae. These new specimens, from Minas Gerais state, SE Brazil, belong to a new troglobite species described herein, Habeastrum strangeisp. nov. The present records extend the genus distribution ca. 1,100 km east-northeast.
Du bon usage de l’incohérence
Authors: Robine Jean-Marie
Published: September 2020

L’auteur relate sa rencontre avec différents concepts de la théorie de la gestalt-thérapie au cours de sa propre formation, et même plus tard ! Il montre comment certains d’eux lui ont paru difficilement compatibles avec sa propre conception du monde, ses propres choix théoriques ou méthodologiques, et sa personnalité ; mais aussi comment cette incohérence l’a poussé à explorer d’autres voies dans ces directions et ainsi à construire pour lui-même une cohérence d’un autre type tout en cherchant à rester fidèle aux principes de la base de la ‘foundational’ gestalt-thérapie. Il insiste sur le caractère expérientiel du sentiment de cohérence ou d’incohérence et montre comment la création d’une nouvelle cohérence débouche sur l’apparition de nouvelles incohérences et que le mouvement ainsi créé permet d’éviter les fixations mortifères et s’avère l’expression de la vitalité de la réflexion.
Crise épidémiologique, crise de cohérence
Authors: Schoch de Neuforn Sylvie
Published: September 2020

La pandémie de la covid 19 est l’occasion de s’interroger sur les systèmes adaptifs dont nous disposons pour traverser les crises. Selon la théorie polyvagale de Porges, qui est une façon de rendre compte des mécanismes neurophysiologiques de rapprochement et d’isolement social, nous avons d’autant plus besoin des autres que nous sommes soumis à des stress environnementaux liés à la présence de danger. Or les préconisations de distanciation et le confinement diminuent de façon drastique les possibilités de socialisation, et nous inondent d’injonctions qui génèrent la méfiance et la défiance vis à vis de l’autre. A la capacité naturelle de notre système nerveux à chercher du soutien dans la relation se substituent des attitudes défensives. Ce qui s’active alors, ce sont des réactions de survie face à un danger potentiellement mortel. Ces comportements, caractéristiques du règne animal (fight, flight, freeze 1 ) sont désinhibés et prennent alors le pas sur le processus plus élaboré de recherche de sécurité par l’engagement social qui est commun à tous les mammifères. Comment retrouvons-nous alors une cohérence dans ces injonctions et impulsions contradictoires ?
Du pouvoir en thérapie : exercer un pouvoir sur l’autre ou être fort ensemble
Authors: Philippson Peter , van Hoof Véronique
Published: September 2020

L’auteur explore les concepts de pouvoir unique et de pouvoir partagé dans le cadre de la relation patient-thérapeute. Il fait l’hypothèse que beaucoup de thérapeutes ayant grandi dans des schémas relationnels à pouvoir unique tendent à les reproduire dans la relation avec le patient ce qui peut être problématique. Il décrit en quoi une perspective de pouvoir double permet de travailler différemment. Il évoque aussi comment comprendre le concept d’introject dans une relation à pouvoir partagé.
L’attente secrète
Authors: Béja Vincent , Belasco Florence
Published: September 2020

Se situant dans la perspective d’une Gestalt-thérapie relationnelle et de champ, les auteurs viennent éclairer la phénoménologie de l’intervention clinique en montrant que l’activité principale du thérapeute consiste en un travail d’ajustement autour de sa propre résonance au mouvement de contact – à la poussée – qui organise la rencontre thérapeutique elle-même. Le thérapeute se « dispose » pour mieux « entendre ». Et c’est ce changement chez le thérapeute qui prépare le changement du patient. Une vignette clinique vient en illustrer les différents moments. En désignant l’intentionnalité à l’œuvre dans la rencontre comme « attente secrète » les auteurs introduisent une notion neuve, offrant ainsi aux praticiens une boussole sensible qui leur permet de s’orienter et de tenir dans leur effort pour s’ajuster au patient et maintenir leur visée de le rejoindre.
Entre présence rationnelle et vagabonde
Authors: Terpereau Jean-Marie
Published: September 2020

L’auteur visite dans ce texte les contours d’une cohérence qu’il serait pertinent d’interroger, quitte à en sortir provisoirement, comme de la confronter à la transmission ou à la pratique plurielle. Cette cohérence, dans la pratique de la Gestalt-thérapie, ne peut que s’articuler avec une façon co-errante de s’envisager avec le patient.te dans un vagabondage des sensations, perceptions, de l’imaginaire et de la pensée. Cette disposition salutaire participe à rompre la circularité des empêchements, la répétition du même, la tendance au contrôle. Elle ouvre à la possibilité de l’évasion vers de l’inédit.
Vers un nouveau musée imaginaire
Authors: Alloa Emmanuel
Published: September 2020

La crise sanitaire a accéléré le passage au numérique des musées, qui n’est pas sans rappeler le projet d’André Malraux d’un « musée imaginaire » . Mais le choix des œuvres par des algorithmes se fait sans réflexion et au détriment de l’expérience sensible.
Le sens de la visite
Authors: Mugnier Hélène
Published: September 2020

Le confinement a déconfiné le musée dans l’espace numérique, libérant de nouveaux modes de relation aux œuvres d’art. Pour retrouver le sens de la visite, il faut mettre à jour la médiation in situ, insister sur le parti pris d’un accrochage et remettre les collections permanentes au centre.

Les gaullistes : de la France libre à aujourd’hui ?
Authors: Lachaise Bernard
Published: September 2020

Le vocable « gaullistes » – auquel de Gaulle préférait celui de compagnons –, d’abord utilisé pendant la Résistance, désigne, à partir de 1947, principalement mais pas exclusivement les membres des partis engagés dans le combat politique de Charles de Gaulle, dans l’opposition puis au pouvoir. Après sa présidence, les pompidoliens et les chiraquiens se veulent les héritiers du Général, mais de fortes différences séparent gaullistes et néogaullistes. Depuis le début du xxi e  siècle, les gaullistes ne sont plus identifiables dans la vie politique : si l’image consensuelle du général de Gaulle peut faire croire que tous les Français sont désormais gaullistes, ils sont surtout gaulliens.
Construction et limites du mythe gaullien

Quelle place occupe la figure du général de Gaulle dans l’imaginaire national en France – c’est-à-dire dans l’ordre de la symbolique politique et de la mémoire collective ? Pour répondre à cette question, l’article analyse les idées, les valeurs, les images, les rêves, les passions et les représentations historiques qui se rattachent à de Gaulle dans la culture politique française de 1940 à nos jours.
Effects of laundry-hanging motion on oxygen uptake and ventilation in healthy young women
Authors: Takahata M. , Ishizawa M. , Uchiumi T. , Yamaki M. , Sato T.
Published: September 2020

Many patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experience problems during performance of activities of daily living. These problems may lead to reduced physical activity. The purpose of this study was to reveal the influence on the oxygen uptakes in motion methods of hanging on laundry. Eighteen healthy females were recruited for participation in this study. They performed three kinds of movement to hang on laundry. Participants performed the following three actions: (1) hanging some towels on bars with a low stand in a sitting position (Action 1), (2) hanging some towels on bars with a low stand in a standing position (Action 2) and (3) hanging some towels on bars with a high stand in a standing position (Action 3). We measured metabolic and ventilatory requirements during these actions by use of an expires gas analyser. Mutual comparison of the three different types action showed significant differences in the oxygen uptake (VO2), carbon dioxide output (VCO2), minute ventilation (VE), and metabolic equivalents (METs). On the other hands, the differences in respiratory rate (RR) among these three actions were not significant. Action 3 tended to have the most increased values in VO2, VCO2, VE and METs. The Action 1 tended to behave the lowest value. The oxygen uptake and ventilation variables may be influenced by the methods used in hanging laundry.
