Remarks on the Conceptions of Philosophical Method of Schelling, Hegel, and Krause
Authors: Rohs Peter
Published: July 2022

“The A2 is Light,” Schelling explains to us in the Presentation of My System of Philosophy (1801) (SW 4, 151). Is such a statement meaningful, so that its truth value can be asked? Is it an empirical statement, which can be tested and possibly confirmed through observations? Or is it a synthetic a priori judgment independent of observations? Such questions are not easy to answer, and they are related to the logical status of Schelling’s theory as a whole.

That such questions became important stems from the peculiarity of the philosophical systems that were developed in Jena after 1800. They were called “systems of absolute idealism,” but it is not clear what this means. These systems include not only Schelling’s but also Hegel’s and Krause’s. In the following, some commonalities, as well as specific particularities, of these systems will be examined in more detail from the standpoint of methodology.

“Y si este fuera mi último poema…” Entrevista a Mauricio Rosencof
Authors: Parra Alejandra L.
Published: July 2022

La siguiente entrevista tuvo lugar en la República de Uruguay ‒departamento de Montevideo‒ el 19 de septiembre del 2019 en el domicilio particular de Mauricio Rosencof. El motivo de este acercamiento fue la elaboración de mi tesis de Posgrado en la que abordo la producción epistolar tanto en Rosencof como en Juan Gelman. Me propongo contribuir con ella al conocimiento más profundo del hombre ‒detrás del escritor y su larga trayectoria, del militante ‒su trabajo de testimonio y memoria, del ruso, gentilicio con el que acostumbra a firmar sus emails. Me parece significativo reflexionar sobre la lectura que realiza de su propia tradición judía cuyo anclaje aparece en sus textos y se plasma a través de la frase heredada de su padre y hecha carne en su propia trayectoria de vida: “uno es uno y todos los demás”.

Authors: Segura Ramiro , Pinedo Jerónimo
Published: July 2022

Este artículo explora la experiencia de la pandemia en / desde la ciudad de La Plata (Argentina). Por medio del análisis de la imaginación geográfica desplegada por las políticas públicas, los medios masivos de comunicación y las y los habitantes de la periferia oeste de la ciudad, el artículo muestra la relevancia de un análisis detenido de la espacialidad, la temporalidad y la situacionalidad en la experiencia de la pandemia. En este sentido, el artículo argumenta que la pandemia es un proceso -antes que un hecho o un acontecimiento específico- que involucra actores diversos, temporalidades heterogéneas y efectos situados activos en la producción de lugares y geografías.
Desigualdades digitales y continuidad pedagógica en Argentina. Accesos, habilidades y vínculos en torno a la apropiación de tecnologías digitales durante la pandemia
Authors: Benítez Larghi Sebastián , Guzzo María del Rosario
Published: July 2022

El presente artículo analiza los procesos de constitución de las desigualdades digitales a partir del estudio de la apropiación de las tecnologías digitales para la continuidad pedagógica en la Argentina durante la pandemia. ¿Cómo inciden las condiciones y modos de apropiación de las tecnologías digitales en la puesta en práctica de las estrategias de educación remota de emergencia? ¿Qué diferencias se observan en la apropiación de las tecnologías digitales para el estudio durante la pandemia? ¿Existen asimetrías entre clases sociales y entre géneros? ¿Qué nuevas dimensiones de las desigualdades digitales se desplegaron durante la pandemia? Para responder estos interrogantes se analizan los datos construidos a partir de una encuesta de alcance nacional aplicada durante el primer trimestre de 2021. De este modo se indaga en diferentes dimensiones (objetivas, subjetivas e intersubjetivas) de la desigualdad digital y se reflexiona acerca de su incidencia diferencial en las trayectorias educativas durante la pandemia.
Fuerzas de seguridad, vulnerabilidad y violencias. Apuntes teóricos y metodológicos de un estudio en pandemia
Authors: Cabral Paz , Lio Vanesa
Published: July 2022

Esta nota de investigación presenta algunas reflexiones teóricas y metodológicas a partir del proyecto titulado “Fuerzas de seguridad, vulnerabilidad y violencias. Un estudio interdisciplinario, multidimensional y comparativo de las formas de intervención de las fuerzas de seguridad y policías en contextos de vulnerabilidad en la Argentina postpandemia”. Dicho proyecto tuvo como objetivo estudiar las interacciones y relaciones entre las fuerzas de seguridad y las poblaciones en condiciones de vulnerabilidad en el marco de la pandemia. Especialmente, se propuso analizar si el contexto generado por la Covid-19 modificó el accionar de las fuerzas de seguridad para con estas poblaciones y si se produjeron cambios en los criterios de legitimidad de las violencias. En este trabajo presentamos reflexiones sobre el diseño teórico y metodológico del proyecto, y exponemos algunos resultados preliminares.

Published: July 2022

Changes in the production system are always good information, because when there are changes, then there are production and processes. Errors or incorrect implementation of the change may occur with the implementation of these changes. Eliminating errors is one of the top priorities of any company that wants to achieve its quality goals.

This paper describes the process by which a change request was implemented incorrectly and its consequences. the aim is to avoid the incorrect implementation of changes. The paper also presents how to suppress the implementation process and the steps followed to discover errors. Researching the methodology shows that there are frequent errors in the process of implementing changes to easily products or services, but there are also many ways to solve them. Advanced technology helps to discover them and remove them in the best possible way.

In conclusion, the paper, decided that it is important that the changes brought in the process are carefully monitored and that there is a traceability of the information that is related to the change.
How Can Blockchain Contribute to Developing Country Economies? A Literature Review on Application Areas
Authors: Gillpatrick Tom , Boğa Semra , Aldanmaz Oncel
Published: July 2022

Blockchain technology originally finding applications in Fintech and supply chain management is rapidly expanding applications to other industries as well as the public sector. “Blockchain has been compared to the invention of the internet and its comprehensive impact on almost every industry.” R. Beck and B. Markey-Towler (2017) A recent study by PWC (2020) found that, “Blockchain technology has the potential to boost global gross domestic product by $1.76 trillion USD over this decade.” It has been argued that the digital revolution has favored more developed nations and that has helped create a “digital divide” with less developed nations. Business and governmental infrastructure in developing nations have lagged that of more developed nations. Some of these challenges faced by developing nations include the registration of property ownership, financial systems, modern efficient supply chains often accompanied by a lack of trust and the ability to verify and audit organizational processes rapidly and economically. Blockchain technology has the promise to address many of the critical needs of developing countries internally and in external trade relationships to help enable them to be more competitive. This paper will review the literature and examine the impact of Blockchain technology on how its adoption may ameliorate many of these critical challenges for developing nations helping to improve governance and economic benefits that are shared more equitably. Potential for both positive and negative impacts with be discussed along with policy implications for public policy makers and private enterprises.
Unifying loyalty: a grounded theory about tactical officers’ challenges when leading licensed medical personnel in combat zones
Authors: Lundberg Kristina , Kjellström Sofia , Sandgren Anna
Published: July 2022

Objectives

The aim was to explore the tactical officers’ (TOs) main concerns when leading licensed medical personnel (LMP) in combat zones and how they resolved them.

Methods

A classic grounded theory was chosen in order to develop a theory, which explained and conceptualized the TOs behaviors. Ten individual interviews and five informal conversations were conducted with TOs with various ranks, experienced in leading LMPs on military operations in Afghanistan, Mali and/or Aden (outside the coast of Somalia).

Results

The theory unifying loyalty explains how TOs handle the challenges when leading LMP. To create loyalty TOs use four strategies: executing orders, clearing out roles, marking limits and clarifying rules and laws. These strategies can be used by two leadership styles, hierarchical and democratic.

Conclusions

In order to fulfill the military duties it is essential to unify LMP in the unit, which is a challenge since LMP experience dual loyalty. The main goal for TOs is to ensure and maintain stability and do the military duties when being in combat zones and that requires using both leadership styles, depending on what the conditions in combat zones requires.
Effects of bisphenol A and bisphenol F on porcine uterus contractility
Authors: Zygmuntowicz Aleksandra , Markiewicz Włodzimierz , Grabowski Tomasz , Jaroszewski Jerzy
Published: July 2022

Introduction

Bisphenols, as endocrine disruptors, may cause a wide range of health problems in humans, but so far, not all of them have been confirmed in animals, including pigs. Since animals are also exposed to bisphenols, we hypothesised that these substances may have an effect on uterine contractility in pigs. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the most-used bisphenol, bisphenol A (BPA), and a selected analogue, bisphenol F (BPF), on the contractile activity of the pig uterus.

Material and Methods

The investigation utilised smooth muscles from immature pigs (n = 6), cyclic pigs on days 12–14 of the oestrous cycle (n = 6) or early pregnant pigs on days 12–16 of pregnancy (n = 6). Strips of the myometrium were exposed to BPA and BPF at concentrations of 10−13–10−1 M. Smooth muscle contractility was determined with equipment for measuring isometric contractions.

Results

BPA caused a significant decrease in contraction amplitude, and frequency and in myometrial tension in all groups examined. BPF caused a decrease in the amplitude and frequency of contractions in all groups and in myometrial tension in the early pregnant group.

Conclusion

The obtained results indicate that both BPA and BPF relaxed the porcine myometrium, but these changes, especially in the amplitude and frequency of contractions, were more evident after BPF treatment. The extent of relaxation is dependent on the physiological status of the animals.
Europe's cultural diversity as a problem for European integration
Authors: Jordan Peter
Published: July 2022

European integration is obviously impeded by the national and nation-state idea that is still vigorous and motivates European Union (EU) member states’ refusals to cede powers to the EU or subnational levels. Recent events like the global economic crisis, the Euro crisis, the migration crisis and the coronavirus pandemic have, however, demonstrated that it is not just the national idea and the nation state that appear to seriously hinder further integration, but that fundamental differences in cultural attitudes in different parts of Europe are also responsible. They can be traced back to earlier periods of history and a Europe that consisted of parts with very divergent economic, social and political attitudes. These disparities are difficult to equalize. The article highlights Europe's major cultural differentiation processes in history, hints at their current traces in economic, social and political attitudes and relates those attitudes to problems in European integration.
