Authors: Hairini Siti Mauliana , Sari Noviana
Published: February 2024

Exclusively, The theoretical and empirical studies on women's representation have focused on parliament and the existing literature on women in politics. The substantive representation become one of the main concerns of the scholars to be an instrument of how to pursue women's issues while, this paper has tried to analyze how the descriptive representation and the substantive representation are inseparable from female regent existence in politics. In the debate between descriptive representation and substantive representation of women in pursuing conservative political issues for rural women, this study considers that there is a causal relationship between the two representation models. The politics of presence and ideas of female Regent who implemented electronic voting (e-voting) in simultaneous village head elections in Barito Kuala District has strongly created a symbol for women that indirectly fostered a sense of commons destiny and experience for women to encourage their participation and increase the electability of women in village politics.

Published: February 2024

The criminal act of corruption is a latent danger for Indonesia because the negative impacts and the causes are very dangerous for the economy and social order. This research aims to determine the regulation of the authority of law enforcement agencies in handling criminal acts of corruption in the legal system in Indonesia and how the authority of the police in handling criminal acts of corruption in Indonesia. As normative legal research, the research examines laws and regulations related to criminal acts of corruption.Research results: Regulation of criminal acts of corruption in Indonesia is regulated in the Corruption Eradication Law Number 20 of 2001, and Law Number 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code. The Criminal Procedure Code only recognizes 2 institutions or agencies that have the authority to handle criminal acts, namely the Police and the Prosecutor's Office. In Law Number 20 of 2001, the investigative authority is contained in the institutions that have the authority to handle criminal acts of corruption, namely the Police, Prosecutor's Office and the Corruption Eradication Commission. Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia, aims to strengthen the position and role of the police as an integral part of overall reform efforts. The development and progress of society as well as the emergence of the supremacy of law, globalization, transparency and accountability have given rise to a new perspective on the duties, functions, authority and responsibilities of the police which has led to the growth of various demands and expectations from the public regarding the implementation of police duties oriented towards the interests of the community.

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Climate policies evolve quickly, and new scenarios designed around these policies are used to illustrate how they impact global mean temperatures using simple climate models (or climate emulators). Simple climate models are extremely efficient although limited to showing only the global picture. Within the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) framework, there is a need to understand the regional impacts of scenarios that include the most recent science and policy decisions quickly to support government in negotiations. To address this, we present PRIME (Probabilistic Regional Impacts from Model patterns and Emissions), a new flexible probabilistic framework which aims to provide an efficient means to run new scenarios without the significant overheads of larger more complex Earth system models (ESMs). PRIME provides the capability to include the most recent models, science and scenarios to run ensemble simulations on multi-centennial timescales and include analysis of many variables that are relevant and important for impacts assessments. We use a simple climate model to provide the global temperatures to scale the patterns from a large number of the CMIP6 ESMs. These provide the inputs to a weather generator and a land-surface model, which generates an estimate of the land-surface impacts from the emissions scenarios. Here we test PRIME using known scenarios in the form of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) to demonstrate that PRIME reproduces the climate response to a range of emissions scenarios, as shown in the IPCC reports. We show results for a range of scenarios including the SSP5-8.5 high emissions scenario, which was used to define the patterns; SSP1-2.6, a mitigation scenario with low emissions and SSP5-3.4-OS, an overshoot scenario. PRIME correctly represents the climate response for these known scenarios, which gives us confidence that PRIME will be useful for rapidly providing probabilistic spatially resolved information for novel climate scenarios; substantially reducing the time between the scenarios being released and being used in impacts assessments.

Published: February 2024

Abstract. The surface temperature of the snow cover is a key variable, as it provides information about the current state of the snowpack, helps predict its future evolution, and enhances estimations of the snow water equivalent. Although satellites are often used to measure surface temperature and despite the difficulty to retrieve accurate surface temperature from space, calibration-validation datasets over snow-covered areas are scarce. We present a dataset of extensive measurements of the radiative surface temperature of snow acquired with an uncooled Thermal Infrared (TIR) camera. The set accuracy goal is 0.7 K, which is the radiometric accuracy of the TIR sensor of the future CNES/ISRO TRISHNA mission. TIR images have been acquired over two winter seasons, November 2021 to May 2022 and February to May 2023 at the Col du Lautaret, 2057 m a.s.l. in the French Alps. During the first season, the camera operated in the off-the-shelf configuration, with a rough thermal regulation (7 °C–39 °C). An improved setup with a stabilized internal temperature was developed for the second campaign, and comprehensive laboratory experiments were carried out in order to characterize the physical properties of the TIR camera components and its calibration. A thorough processing including radiometric processing, orthorectification and a filter for poor visibility conditions due to fog or snowfall have been performed. The result is two winter season timeseries of 130,019 maps of the surface radiative temperature of snow with meter-scale resolution over an area of 0.5 km2. The validation is performed against precision TIR radiometers. We found an absolute accuracy (MAE) of 1.28 K during winter 2021–2022 and 0.67 K for spring 2023. The efforts to stabilize the internal temperature of the TIR camera therefore led to a notable improvement of the accuracy. Although some uncertainties persist, particularly the temperature overestimation during melt, this dataset represents a major advance in the capacity to monitor and map surface temperature in mountainous areas, and to calibrate-validate satellite measurements over snow-covered areas of complex topography. The complete dataset is at https://doi.org/10.57932/d4e105c4-b6a3-4520-b174-3913fbb20cb7 (Arioli et al., 2024a) and https://doi.org/10.57932/8c782a49-c992-47af-89bb-2684093e2c65 (Arioli et al., 2024b).
Coevolving edge rounding and shape of glacial erratics: the case of Shap granite, UK
Authors: Carling Paul A.
Published: February 2024

Abstract. The size distributions and the shapes of detrital rock clasts can shed light on the environmental history of the clast assemblages and the processes responsible for clast comminution. For example, mechanical fracture due to the stresses imposed on a basal rock surface by a body of flowing glacial ice releases initial “parent” shapes of large blocks of rock from an outcrop, which then are modified by the mechanics of abrasion and fracture during subglacial transport. The latter processes produce subsequent generations of shapes, possibly distinct in form from the parent blocks. A complete understanding of both the processes responsible for block shape changes and the trends in shape adjustment with time and distance away from the source outcrop is lacking. Field data on edge rounding and shape changes of Shap granite blocks (dispersed by Devensian ice eastwards from the outcrop) are used herein to explore the systematic changes in block form with distance from the outcrop. The degree of edge rounding for individual blocks increases in a punctuated fashion with the distance from the outcrop as blocks fracture repeatedly to introduce new fresh unrounded edges. In contrast, block shape is conservative, with parent blocks fracturing to produce self-similar “child” shapes with distance. Measured block shapes evolve in accord with two well-known models for block fracture mechanics – (1) stochastic and (2) silver ratio models – towards one or the other of these two attractor states. Progressive reduction in block size, in accord with fracture mechanics, reflects the fact that most blocks were transported at the sole of the ice mass and were subject to the compressive and tensile forces of the ice acting on the stoss surfaces of blocks lying against a bedrock or till surface. The interpretations might apply to a range of homogeneous hard rock lithologies.
Analysis of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Performance in Wired and Wireless Networks Across Various Topologies, Including Single, Linear, and Tree Structures
Authors: Ram Anil , Chakraborty Swarnendu Kumar
Published: February 2024

The increasing prominence of the internet and the resulting heightened demand for flexibility and agility have rendered traditional networking solutions inadequate for meeting current computing needs. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) emerges as a solution to achieve these goals. A controller plays a crucial role in determining the success of SDN. Therefore, it is necessary to assess and compare the various SDN controllers used across different industries. In this study, we evaluate the effectiveness of two recognized SDN controllers, POX and Ryu. Our research employs the Mininet-Wi-Fi emulator, and we assess the aforementioned controllers using metrics such as Jitter, throughput, packet loss, and delay, utilizing the Distributed Internet Traffic Generator (D-ITG). What sets our research apart is its examination of network performance across both wired and wireless transmission modalities. Fast Ethernet was chosen as the speed for the wired medium, as it had not been studied before. Additionally, the packet size ranged from 128 to 1,024 bytes. We used single, linear, and tree topologies for comparison. Our experimental findings demonstrate that, in the majority of cases, Ryu offers significantly reduced latency, packet loss, and jitter compared to POX. Furthermore, the Ryu controller outperforms POX in terms of throughput, particularly in wireless networks.

The aim of this study is to examine the main components of kaize, the Japanese management system in educational processes. Kaizen, which should be considered as a vetire in educational processes, means a gradual and continuous development activity as a Japanese-specific management system. According to Kaizen, in order to achieve good results, it is necessary to be able to develop the path to it. Thus, an advantage will also be provided in the competition. Purposeful costing is the management of cost related to the stages at which the product is developed and regulated. If Kaizen is not costing; it is the stage that covers the continuous development activity by determining the targeted cost and reducing it to the cost level. The conceptual definition of kaize is essentially clear and simple. Kaizen means development. It is a continuous development activity that involves the employee in the lowest position from the top manager in a company. In addition to the application of Kaizen thinking in the company, it means the continuous development of lifestyle in cultural, personal relationships or family life. In addition to all these situations, Kaizen has been a social concept that allows qualitative movements to begin. Kaizen can be defined as continuous development activities and activities that cover every incision from the manager at the top of organizations to the employees at the lowest level. Kaizen is a process and a process, it is the effort and continuity of realizing what is good with tiny steps with a human at the focus. From the slogan of Kaizen, the word that the most beautiful with movement is the enemy of the best, addressing problems with transparency is the basic condition of this idea.

In today's world, the technology that is changing almost every day and developing rapidly is bringing with it inconceivable transformations. At the beginning of these transformation strategies, a collaborative management approach comes first. Collaborative management requires strategic integrity in a general sense. KAIZEN strategy, on the other hand, is the most important focus of the Japanese state's ability to cope with competition in the form of the most valuable concept in terms of the Japanese management system. KAIZEN, which is one of the most commonly used concepts in the Japanese government, appears in the form of a continuous development strategy that covers all working people. Innovations lean on technique, and the cost mechanics of acquiring the latest technique in a competitive workplace will also be in phase. At the same rate, the continuous increase in the manufacturing cost of the existing finished product is a conflict environment in which consumers need to ensure quality satisfaction, and the continuous development of the service process seems to be important costs and problems for companies. The importance of KAIZEN strategy method is also revealed in this focus, because it provides the solution of existing problems by creating a corporate culture in which the existence of problems in any enterprise is understood in every detail, coping with problems can be realized with the participation of every employee. Another important feature of the KAIZEN strategy method is that if the top management wants to make a lot of profit in the phase by ensuring the continuity of the power in the business field, it realizes that it is essential to meet the customer's needs in the most accurate way.

Frecuentemente se ha observado que, en las carreras de ingeniería, los estudiantes no logran articular adecuadamente las asignaturas de Estadística y de especialidad. Este hecho genera una importante carencia en los estudiantes al no aprovechar plenamente las múltiples herramientas que les brinda la estadística. Teniendo en mente esta realidad, en el semestre 2023-II se planteó un proyecto de investigación formativa interdisciplinario, a los estudiantes de la carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica y Eléctrica de la UNTELS que cursaban las asignaturas de Estadística Aplicada y Transferencia de Calor. El objetivo del presente artículo fue valorar la percepción de los estudiantes sobre su participación en este proyecto, buscando comprender a fondo su experiencia e identificar factores clave de similitud. Se encuestó a 28 estudiantes. El análisis de cluster permitió identificar tres grupos de estudiantes con patrones coherentes en sus percepciones y experiencias. El cluster 1 exhibió una “Valoración Interdisciplinaria Avanzada” respaldando la efectividad del proyecto y coincidiendo con investigaciones previas. El cluster 2 mostró una “Valoración Interdisciplinaria Moderada” sugiriendo beneficios, pero señalando la necesidad de explorar más a fondo el impacto de variables individuales. El cluster 3 identificado como “Valoración Interdisciplinaria en Inicio” reveló puntuaciones más bajas, destacando desafíos logísticos y de comunicación. El análisis factorial proporcionó dos componentes principales: “Enriquecimiento profesional y habilidades prácticas” y “Conocimientos previos”, estos hallazgos refuerzan la coherencia con el análisis general y proporcionan una perspectiva más profunda de las experiencias específicas de cada grupo de estudiantes en el proyecto.
Water's Vital Role: Challenges and Consequences of Pollution: A Review
Authors: Meshram Vaishali A. , Singh Anurag Kr , Verma Sanyogita R.
Published: February 2024

Most of the evolutionary theories suggest that life originated within the water. From origination to now, water has played an important role in living organisms. Earth’s 71% of the surface is covered with water. Of the total water present, 97% of the world’s water is salty or undrinkable. Water available for drinking is valuable. Freshwater can be reachable for use from rivers, lakes, and groundwater. Water availability per capita is dependent on the population of a country, and it reduces due to an increase in population. Nearly, 163 million Indians don’t have access to clean drinking water, and 21% of the communicable diseases are linked to unsafe drinking water. In India, 500 youngsters lose their lives to diarrhea every day. The average annual water availability of any land or country mostly depends on hydro-meteorological and geological aspects.
The increasing population led to an increase in the demand for goods which caused rapid industrialization and is the reason for the production of industrial wastes. This hazardous waste discharge in water bodies without any treatment and management poses a harmful environment to living beings. Hospital waste water mainly contains infectious microbes and pharmaceutical drugs and it is released to municipal wastewater treatment plants without any pre-treatment further, this discharging of the wastewater into water bodies imposes a significant threat to the environment.
These industrial wastes destroy the environment by polluting water, air, and soil. The quantity and quality of wastewater depends on the type of industry, it can contain biodegradable waste such as paper, wool, leather, etc., and non-biodegradable waste such as heavy metals, pesticides, and plastic. Hazardous such as reactive, carcinogenic, and ignitable also releases.

The Nature and Scope of Diplomatic History
Authors: M. S. Danyaya , M. B. Suwaiba , M. Rashida
Published: February 2024

Diplomatic history is a subfield of history that focuses on the interactions and relationships between states and their representatives. It is concerned with the nature of diplomacy and the role it plays in shaping international relations. Diplomatic history also encompasses a wide range of areas including the study of treaties, alliances, war and peace, and the role of diplomacy in shaping the modern world. More so, the discipline looks at the influence of non-state actors, such as individuals, corporations, and NGOs, on the course of diplomatic history. In addition, the scope of diplomatic history is vast and covers a range of historical periods and regions. The field also studies the impact of culture, emotions, and identity on diplomatic interactions. However, the discipline is faced by some challenges and limitations. Some historians argue that diplomatic history is too focused on state actors and official sources, and that it fails to account for the experiences of ordinary people. This paper examines the nature and scope of diplomatic history. It explains the meaning of history, diplomacy and how the concept of diplomatic history evolved and the role of diplomacy in history. It also highlighted the impact of diplomacy on world events. The relationship between diplomatic history and other disciplines was also examined. The paper uses a historical research approach in its analysis.
Sustainability implications in electrical energy substations: Green supplier’s performance evaluation using fuzzy TOPSIS method
Authors: Hasin Akhtar Tasnia , Siddiquee M.M Fahim , Hasin Md. Ahsan Akhtar
Published: February 2024

Sustainability is getting preference now-a-days in most of the countries in the world. This implies industrial and other developments for economic growth, and of course civilization, but certainly not at the cost of environmental degradation. Environmental conservation is a must. One of the major components of industrial sectors is their electrical energy inputs through electrical substation. Numerous research addresses the issue of energy pollution, cantering on fossil fuel. A very few research can be found which address the issue of pollution generated from electrical energy. This research addresses this issue, with special attention to electrical substations. In the last two or three decades, several electrical equipment manufacturers have started producing this equipment in Bangladesh, which were previously import-oriented. This equipment use various types of oils, acids, zinc and other metals, which are all environmentally hazardous. Thus, any industrial company, buying such equipment from substation manufacturers, should consider green aspects. As such, now it is of prime importance to select green suppliers of substation equipment. Since selection of right or green supplier involves multi-criteria evaluation, Multi-criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique is essential. Additionally, both qualitative and quantitative criteria require fuzzy analysis to make it more precise and realistic. This research addressed the issue of environmental pollution, its sources, nature and severity, and their mitigation through selecting green suppliers.
Navigating the complexities of marketing decision-making in uncertain supply chains: A quantitative exploration
Authors: John Nsikan , Ayandele Blessing , Amaihian Augusta
Published: February 2024

Making rational decisions in times of uncertainty is an important capability required of marketing managers. However, choosing the precise quantitative decision-making technique or a combination of such tools usually presents managers with a score of challenges. To lessen this challenge, this single case research demonstrates how the choice of three Bayesian decision models (Laplace criterion, Savage minimax regret, and Hurwicz coefficient of realization) can reduce uncertainty in content marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), and referral marketing decision. We employed the case study approach to enable direct access to the decision-making process of the case organization, and to collect relevant data relating to the three marketing decision variables. Results show that, although the Laplace criterion may not have a direct effect on content marketing decisions, it influences the decision-making process leading to the creation and promotion of content. The Savage minimax regret had a direct bearing on SEO decision-making. Hurwicz's coefficient of realization yielded no direct impact on referral marketing but shows the possibility of influencing decision-making processes that led to the development and implementation of referral marketing campaigns. The implications are discussed.
Social Science as a Kind of Writing
Authors: McGregor Rafe , Burns Reece
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this paper is twofold: to argue for the value of (1) social science as part of the intellectual activity of writing (rather than righting) and (2) the practice of fiction to that intellectual activity. Writing is a mode of representation that eludes our complete and objective knowledge and always remains partial and temporary. While righting, in contrast, is concerned with the absolute truth and the revelation of the right answer. This paper argues that writing is a more productive, creative, and necessary way of engaging with reality than righting, and that it can offer insights and perspectives for both theory and praxis. Drawing on Stephen King’s view on writing fi ction, this paper will also argue that fiction constitutes a kind of writing and employs a particular form of truth that is conceived as a relation between representation and reality. The paper will conclude by suggesting the need for criminologists— and social scientists more generally—to adopt the perspective of writing to gain a better understanding of the phenomena with which they are concerned.

Background:Hypercholesterolemia is a lipid metabolic condition associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death worldwide. Rhizophora apiculata is a plant that grows along the Indonesian coast and may provide significant support for using traditional medicine. Bioactive molecules extracted from Rhizophora apiculta can be used in supplementary medicines and considered to be an alternative way to address the ever-increasing requirements of novel drugs. More research is needed to substantiate the usage of Rhizophora apiculate astraditional medicine.This study aims to investigate the effects of Rhizophora apiculata barks (RAB) ethanolic extract on lipid metabolism, namely Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), LDL, and HDL levels in mice fed a high-cholesterol diet (HCD). Methods: The study comprised 30 white male rats (Rattus norvegicus) of the Sprague Dawley strain, aged 2-3 months and weighing 200-250 grams. Six groups of mice (n = 5) were formed. Group 1 was fed a conventional diet; Group 2 was given the High-Cholesterol Diet (HCD); Group 3 was given HCD and simvastatin 40 mg/kgbwt (p.o. ); and Groups 4, 5, and 6 were treated with HCD and RAB extract 56.55 mg/kgbwt (p.o.), RAB 28.28 mg/kgbwt (p.o.), and RAB 14.14 mg/kgbwt. All of the treatments began on the same day and lasted 30 days. Results: RAB-treated animal groups (56.55; 28.28; and 14.14 mg/kgbwt) had markedly lessened TC levels by 41.18%, 35.57%, and 9.24%, respectively; TG levels declined by 45.85%; 43.77%; and 27.74%, respectively; LDL levels reduced by 26.08%; 16.55%; and 11.21%, respectively; and HDL levels increased by 19.37%; 15.12%; and 13.21%, respectively. Conclusion: RAB-treated animal groups (56.55; 28.28; and 14.14 mg/kg) had markedly lessened total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and increased HDL levels (p < 0.01) related to the HCD alone batch. These findings imply that the ethanolic extract of Rhizophora apiculata barks influences lipid metabolism and has potency as traditional medicine.

Cooperative compliance is often defined as a framework for trust-based relationships in which tax authorities and taxpayers work together to establish and uphold mutual understanding. The main reported areas of tax compliance risks and disputes in Indonesia include profit shifting and transfer pricing. Through a literature review, we attempt a stocktake of the cooperative compliance literature in this review about transfer pricing supervision. A comprehensive literature search identified 17 studies published between 2014 and 2023. Two key types of interventions were identified: cooperative compliance and transfer pricing supervision. According to the review's findings, cooperative compliance research should focus more on using cooperative compliance as a strategic tool in business than just on tax compliance. This evaluation concludes with recommendations for future cooperative compliance research.

This study looks into how e-loyalty cues affect online shoppers' propensity to make repeat purchases. E-loyalty signals include a variety of sophisticated components, such as perceived value, website design, user interface, and brand trust. This study aims to identify the complex links between these indicators and consumers' intentions to make additional online purchases through a thorough analysis. Online retailers must comprehend the factors that led to consumers' adoption of online buying as the e-commerce industry grows more competitive. Customer relationship management, which has been identified as an efficient company approach to achieve success in the electronic market, depends on this kind of knowledge. The goal of the current research project is to comprehend online shoppers' patterns of happiness and loyalty. The focus of this study is on how emotional state and perceived likelihood of remote purchase affect e-satisfaction when shopping online. Additionally, it intends to focus on how e-satisfaction affects e-loyalty. A questionnaire was used to collect the information. The findings demonstrate that e-satisfaction is significantly positively impacted by three aspects of the emotional state experienced when online shopping: pleasure, feeling, and dominance. The all-out risk, the financial gamble, the social gamble, the mental gamble, the utilitarian gamble, and the real gamble—all aspects of the perceived gamble of distant purchase—don't significantly affect e-satisfaction, with the exception of the gamble of lost time. Finally, satisfaction has a beneficial and essential impact on cyber consumers' e-loyalty.
MICHEL FOUCAULT SUR LE SOUCI DE SOI CHEZ PLATON ET LES NÉOPLATONICIENS
Authors: NEACȘU Adriana

Analyzing the concept of care of the self in ancient Greco-Roman culture, Foucault pays special attention to Plato and the Neoplatonists. From his point of view, the first great elaboration of the concept of care of the self is found in the Platonic dialogues, and the Neoplatonists fit, in general, into the same theoretical framework established by Plato. Of course, due to the historical evolution of philosophical thought and collective mentality, Neoplatonists differ from Plato through some important aspects of their conception of care of the self. But these, though are clear enough to give the Neoplatonists an undoubted originality, nevertheless fail to give their theoretical position a radically different configuration from that of Plato. Therefore, what is essential in the concept of care of the self in Plato is kept intact in the Neoplatonists. In short, it's about the (approximate) identity between care of the self and self-knowledge, as well as about the access, through them, to the truth, by which reveals to the soul, that is, to that self that knows itself and takes care of itself, that it is of the same nature as divinity. These elements constitute a unity which, according to Foucault, will not be found as such in any other philosophical tradition of Antiquity. The conclusion is that although Michel Foucault analyzes only one dialogue of Plato, namely Alcibiades, as well as only the Neoplatonists' comments on it, all aspects that he highlights manage to give sufficient coherence and credibility to his hypothesis.
PROPRIETATEA CA POSTULAT LA KANT
Authors: RADUICĂ Ionuț
Published: February 2024

In this study we investigate the meaning of property in Kant’s philosophy, first analyzing the biases involved in concept as an empirical postulate: property as an extension of the soul, the various types of incomplete property, or property governed by empirical feelings. The aim is to demonstrate that the property has two main meanings: one is contractualist and another ethical (normativist). The importance of property is thus vital for Kant – without property, man is personally and socially incomplete.
UN EXEMPLU SUBSTANȚIALIST: DESCOPERIREA AMERICII
Authors: ADĂMUȚ Anton

Kant aims to achieve a scientific metaphysics; Camil Petrescu rather a metaphysical science. Neither of them will achieve anything of what they set out to do, only that, while the first one has the consciousness of failure, the second one will eventually reach a failure of conscience. But the metaphysics of failure is more than just a failed metaphysics. Here both of them are saved. Kant, the “all-destroyer”, the negator, this “Prussian Hume”, “falls” from science into faith. Camil Petrescu falls as well, but replaces faith with the successive idea of science. He falls from science to science, in the totality of science about the world or in the science of substance. Such a science, whose meaning will be realized, like that of the concrete, along the way, progressively, by addition. Camil detaches himself from the beginning and definitively from what he calls “rationalist philosophy”, by which he understands classical systems (especially Kantian and Hegelian ones). The reproach? It is a fundamental one for the future substantialist philosophy: this type of rationalist philosophy can only be suspected of being in possession of the notion of the concrete and in no way in possession of the reality of this concept. Rationalism has the “other” one in the form of abstraction; substantialism has it in the form of simultaneous reality. What Camil Petrescu wants to demonstrate is the fact that reality lacks logic or, at least, reality escapes from classic logic. Both Kant and Hegel capture reality in a scheme, ossifies it, they give it logic, thereby canceling out precisely what characterizes it essentially: the concrete. Logicism translates into a heretical infidelity to the real. The concrete thus becomes the fact of being for self, not of existing. All this I try to analyze by applying them to the theory of knowledge as it appears in an episode of the Doctrine of Substance, the episode of the discovery of America.
HOMER: ἄσβεστος γέλως (două episoade: Iliada, I, 597; Odiseea VIII, 459)
Authors: ADĂMUȚ Anton
Published: February 2024

I have often wondered, like many others, where the expression “Homeric laughter” comes from and what is hidden behind it. The spectacular career of the expression, which naturally does not appear in the Homeric epics, can be traced right back to the Iliad and Odyssey. I have insisted on two episodes in which the expression occurs (ἄσβεστος γέλως), one at the end of book I of the Iliad, the second in the Odyssey, book VIII. The gods are involved, Hephaestus in both situations, Ares and Aphrodite in the episode of the Odyssey, and people are also involved for whom this kind of laughter is not characteristic. What is Homeric laughter? The classical expression is ἄσβεστος γέλως, it can be translated by “inextinguishable” or “irrepressible mirth”. The phrase seems to come in English from German – “Homerisches Gelächter”, “unauslöschliches Gelächter” and in German from French: “le rire homérique”, as it appears for the first time in the memoirs of Baroness d’Oberkirck: “le rire inextinguible”. Homeric laughter is, therefore, “inextinguishable”, “unquenchable”, we owe the Latin formula to Ovid, the one from Metamorphoses - superi risere. As for Homer, we know he had no good reason to laugh, Homer couldn’t laugh in a Homeric manner anyway.
GRAMMATISCHER REALISMUS: EINE ANALYSE ZUM WITTGENSTEIN´SCHEN BEGRIFF DER „GRAMMATIK“
Authors: PERSU Darius
Published: February 2024

This text deals with Wittgenstein's concept of “grammar”, which is one of the “key concepts” of his “Philosophical Investigations”. This term is interpreted here as a type of transcendental argument, i.e. as a regressive argument of the form: "In order to to explain why such and such (the observed - e.g. language as an institution) exists, one must presuppose that such and such (the unobserved – grammar) exists." The main thesis of the analysis proposed here is that Wittgenstein had to introduce in his philosophical investigations the concept of “grammar” as something predetermined in the perspective of “grammatical realism” to provide a theory of language with the aim of explaining the possibility of intersubjective language use, without having to fall back on any universal properties of language (in the sense of classical metaphysics).
