The problem of mind-body interaction and the causal principle of Descartes’s Third Meditation
Authors:   Zaporizhzhia State Medical University, Sepetyi Dmytro
Published: March 2021

The article analyses recent English publications in Cartesian studies that deal with two problems: (1) the problem of the intrinsic coherence of Descartes’s doctrine of the real distinction and interaction between mind and body and (2) the problem of the consistency of this doctrine with the causal principle formulated in the Third Meditation. The principle at issue is alternatively interpreted by different Cartesian scholars either as the Hierarchy Principle, that the cause should be at least as perfect as its effects, or the Containment Principle, that the cause should contain all there is in its effects. The author argues that Descartes’s claim (in his argument against the scholastic doctrine of substantial forms) that it is inconceivable how things of different natures can interact does not conflict with the acknowledgement of interaction between things of different natures in the case of soul and body. The case is made that Cartesian mind-body interaction can agree with both the Hierarchy Principle and the Containment Principle, because the Principle is about total and efficient cause, whereas in the interaction, mental and brain states are only partial (and plausibly, in the case of brains states, occasional) causes. In particular, in the case of the causality in the brain-to-mind direction, the mind is conditioned by brain states to form the corresponding specific ideas on the basis of its innate general ideas of movements, forms, colours, etc. Eventually, for Descartes, the most natural way to deal with worries about the possibility of mind-brain interaction is to rely on God’s omnipotence, which certainly enables Him to arrange for such interaction.
New attempts to revive Ukrainian neo-Thomism through inspiration-by-translations. Reflections on the book Krąmpiec, M. (2020). Why evil? Kyiv: Kairos.
Authors:   National Pedagogical Dragomanov University (Kyiv), Chornomorets Yuriy
Published: March 2021

One of the unsolved problems for the historical and philosophical thought of Ukraine is the lack of reflection on the phenomenon of Ukrainian neo-Thomism. Today, there has not been reconstructed the history of this trend, which had been actively developing in the interwar Western Ukraine since the time of socio-ethical letters by Andrei Sheptytsky in the early XX century, gained new connotations in the diaspora from 1940s to 1990s and acquired new forms in Roman Catholic thought in Ukraine at the beginning of the XXI century. Moreover, a comprehensive historical and philosophical assessment of the achievements and shortcomings of Ukrainian neo-Thomism at different stages of its development has not been made. Meanwhile, Ukrainian neo-Thomism is experiencing a crisis, which it is trying to overcome by translating controversial works devoted mainly to the history of moral theology. The main feature of the proposed works is the oscillation between the need to recognize the presence of a person’s spiritual-intellectual and moral-volitional intuitions and the reluctance to recognize it openly, because it would be contrary to the very principles of Thomism. Modern Ukrainian neo-Thomism inherits this contradiction, and therefore the choice of classic books for translation reflects the dialectic of the struggle of different tendencies, which objectively cannot contribute to the legitimization of neo-Thomism in the Ukrainian philosophical discourse. Especially significant in this regard was the translation of the book by the classic of Polish neo-Thomism Mieczysław Krąmpiec “Why evil?”, because this monograph shows the contradiction of neo-Thomistic thought in the key issues about the possibility of person’s moral intuition, moral responsibility and dignity. The very refusal of Krąmpiec to recognize the existence of a person’s spiritual-intellectual and moral-volitional intuitions, despite all the prerequisites for such recognition, leads the monograph Why evil? to failure and to inability to answer the question stated in the title of the monograph. All this justifies that in the time of Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis moral theology and social doctrine moved to neo-Augustinianism, which unequivocally recognizes that the person has spiritual-intellectual and moral-volitional intuitions.
Women, History And Faith: Suleri's Critique Of Pakistan's National Culture In Meatless Days And Boys Will Be Boys
Authors: Murtaza Ghulam , Hayat Mazhar , Hashmi Syed Ali Waqar
Published: March 2021

Sara Suleri is divided between her fascination for her father's strong character and her repulsion for the consequent effect on woman's space in family life, connoting a critique of Pakistani patriarchal society in which women, irrespective of their social status, suffer from marginalization. Although Suleri's Boys Will Be Boys is an elegy for her father, as she announces in the sub-title of the work, she manages her tilt toward her father despite her advocacy of the woman's space miserably shrunk to domestic life in Pakistani society. Besides women's position, she questions the dominant version of history and the state's political manipulation of religion for ulterior motives. She is close to Boehmer's theorization of the elitist continuities and intimacies with a view that develops from geographically and historically multiple contexts and histories. Her role as a native intellectual is two-pronged: her view is colored by western discourse, but her status as a 'representative' Pakistani voice is also significant. This article analyzes how far Suleri's representation of women, religion and history of Pakistani society is colored by western context.
Cooperation in Israeli-Saudi Relations: Impact on Iran in the Middle East
Authors: Imran Sumeera , Bacha Sarim Akram , Khan Zafar
Published: March 2021

The study explores the transformation in great power politics and factors affecting the dynamics of the Middle Eastern political landscape, such as the relationships between ideological arch-rivals of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and Israel. The closing up of the relationship between KSA and Israel is a historic transformation, holding immense potential embodying change in the strategic landscape of the Middle East. The article argues that the changing dynamics of global power politics has polarised the political dynamics of the Middle Eastern region along opposite poles. The US, China and Russian involvement in the Middle Eastern region have pushed the ideological arch-rival of KSA to the US and Israel, pushing Iran to tilt towards Russia and China in the region. Therefore, the significance of the study lies in the changing nature of international structure and the way this shift has impacted the inter-dynamics of Saudi-Israeli cooperation in the Middle East.

Authors: Ahmad Ishtiaq , Samad Abdus , Shakil ur Rehman Muhammad Shakil ur Rehman
Published: March 2021

This paper aims at investigating the nostalgic impact on the characters in The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid. Nostalgia is regarded as the state of homesick or a mental sentimentality for one's past. Everyone is more or less nostalgic, and nostalgia plays a vital role in the lives and experiences of individuals in daily life. The present study is a qualitative and descriptive textual analysis. The Reluctant Fundamentalist has been examined by analyzing the words, sentences, characters and their actions from the nostalgic point of view. This study has investigated the nostalgic impact on the characters, especially on Changez and Erica, through the lens of nostalgia by focusing on their personalities, works, social lives, actions and reactions. This study has found that nostalgia influences and molds the lives and experiences of characters and individuals to an extensive extent. Changes and Erica spoil their lives but are not ready to come out of their nostalgic worlds. The Reluctant Fundamentalist has been analyzed and interpreted through different dimensions, but no one has discussed it from a nostalgia point of view before. So, this paper is a primary investigation and would surely contribute to the present stock of knowledge.

Published: March 2021

The current condition experienced by the XYZ Polyclinic is that there is no application built to simplify the service process contained in the polyclinic so that all service processes are still manual. An example is the calculation of the number of drugs that are in and out of use. This calculation takes a long time, is prone to errors in accounting, and consumes many papers. To solve this problem, we develop an application to recap drugs. The drug recapitulation application is based on a website with the WebML method using the CodeIgniter framework and MySQL database. The application produces the result in the form of a PDF file of the drug recapitulation report per month and day. As a security feature, the monthly drug recapitulation report results include a digital signature as proof of authentication, integrity, and anti-denial. The application built has been tested using web testing methods and user acceptance testing to be applied.

Only 32% parents were aware of proper brushing technique while 68% were unaware. 56% parents said that the sweets, chocolates and junk food are not good for oral health while 44% denied this. 46% parents told that their children complained about teeth and 42% parents visited the dentist for their children.
Conclusions: There is a need to improve the knowledge and practices of parents and children about the oral hygiene maintenance to aid in reducing the oral health problems in future.
Caracterización del perfil de disfunción mitocondrial en fibroblastos de pacientes con enfermedad de Alzheimer
Authors: Pérez Jiménez María José
Published: March 2021

La enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) es la patología neurodegenerativa más común en todo el mundo y se le considera la principal causa de demencia en la población adulta. El principal rasgo neuropatológico de esta enfermedad es la acumulación de proteínas mal plegadas en el cerebro de los pacientes. Estos agregados proteicos conducen a la oxidación progresiva y daño inflamatorio, lo que contribuye al proceso neurodegenerativo y al daño cerebral irreversible. Por otro lado, la evidencia sugiere que la disfunción mitocondrial es un elemento importante en la patogénesis de la EA y que su aparición precede al establecimiento de los agregados proteicos en el cerebro.Interesantemente, diversos estudios en el tejido periférico de modelos animales y pacientes con EA, sugieren que la función mitocondrial también podría estar afectada, lo que indicaría la existencia de un novedoso blanco para la búsqueda de un biomarcador temprano en la EA. En este contexto, evidencia reciente indica que los fibroblastos extraídos de biopsia de piel pueden ser los candidatos adecuados para el escrutinio de nuevos biomarcadores en la EA. Esto ya que existe evidencia de que fibroblastos de pacientes con EA familiar presentan desregulaciones metabólicas que reflejarán alteraciones neuronales que ocurren en el cerebro. Más allá de lo prometedor de estas evidencias actualmente no existen estudios profundos que demuestren y/o caractericen el daño mitocondrial en fibroblastos de pacientes con EA y su potencial uso en la búsqueda de un biomarcador.Dado los antecedentes anteriores, en esta tesis se propone que los fibroblastos de pacientes con la EA presentan un perfil de disfunción mitocondrial característico que los diferencia de los pacientes normales. Para esto se analizaron cultivos primarios de fibroblastos de pacientes controles y EA con diferentes niveles de deterioro cognitivo. Se realizaron análisis de microscopía de fluorescencia en vivo, PCR en tiempo real, Western blot y determinaciones de ATP. Nuestros resultados sugieren que los fibroblastos de pacientes con EA presentan defectos específicos en la morfología y bioenergética mitocondrial que se asemejan a las desregulaciones cerebrales observadas en la EA.Esta disfunción mitocondrial podría estar desencadenada por la formación y apertura del poro de transición de membrana mitocondrial, un complejo proteico que cumple funciones en la regulación de la producción de energía y procesos de muerte celular. El presente estudio presenta la primera caracterización del estado mitocondrial de los fibroblastos de pacientes con EA y sugiere que la evaluación de la función mitocondrial podría diferenciar el envejecimiento normal del envejecimiento patológico relacionado con esta enfermedad. Nuestro trabajo abre la posibilidad de un nuevo blanco para el desarrollo de biomarcadores de EA y presenta una nueva estrategia para estudios epidemiológicos en esta enfermedad.
Protección de los derechos humanos en la detención y expulsión de inmigrantes: Aportes del modelo europeo al sistema migratorio chileno
Authors: León Silva Glorimar Alejandra
Published: March 2021

La migración internacional es un fenómeno que se ha incrementado a nivel mundial, alcanzando sus niveles máximos históricamente. A esta realidad global están innegablemente asociadas las múltiples formas de discriminación que experimentan muchos inmigrantes en base a su nacionalidad y estatus legal. En Europa este panorama no es un asunto de data reciente y sus Estados no están excluidos del fenómeno de la globalización y la migración. Por ello, la Unión Europea (en lo sucesivo, UE) ha consagrado –a través de una serie de normativas regulatorias– la protección de derechos humanos. Esta salvaguarda se ha extendido expresamente a los inmigrantes a través de la implementación de una serie de directivas. Pese a tales previsiones –en atención al principio de subsidiariedad– los Estados miembros de la UE por separado han promulgado legislaciones y adoptado decisiones judiciales con contenido muy variado respecto de sus asuntos migratorios. Esto ha generado debates y polémicas en diferentes ámbitos. A lo anterior se suma la propagación del racismo y xenofobia en Europa –así como el pronunciamiento de órdenes de expulsión– que, lejos de posibilitar la inclusión dentro de la sociedad europea de estos grupos migratorios, exacerba tales conflictos creando segundas categorías de ciudadanos. Por tanto, a nivel de la UE no es tarea sencilla determinar el alcance y contenido de las directivas relativas a los procedimientos de detención y expulsión de inmigrantes. Especialmente cuando se pretende aglutinar los diferentes criterios en la materia contenidos en las diversas legislaciones migratorias de los Estados miembros. Con este propósito, la Directiva 2008/115/CE9 (en lo sucesivo, directiva retorno), se erige como una normativa de mínimos a ser implementada por los Estados miembros. Sin embargo, en su implementación se enfrenta a criterios interpretativos de índole diversa. Estos han pretendido zanjarse mediante el planteamiento de la cuestión prejudicial, con resultados de naturaleza dispar por parte del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea (en lo sucesivo, TJUE). Por ello, la primera parte de esta investigación tiene por propósito identificar el aporte específico de la UE en la protección de los inmigrantes ante la detención y expulsión. Ello a través del estudio de los principios emanados del derecho europeo primario relativos a la progresiva protección de los derechos humanos de los inmigrantes, junto a la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la UE (en lo sucesivo, la CDFUE) y sus directivas, a fin de responder: ¿bajo qué parámetros se promueve la protección de los derechos humanos de los inmigrantes en estos procedimientos administrativos?, y ¿cómo ha interpretado el TJUE la aplicación de estos principios europeos en relación a la protección de los derechos humanos de los inmigrantes frente a la detención administrativa y la expulsión?
A CONCEPÇÃO E AS CONTRIBUIÇÕES PEDAGÓGICAS DE JOÃO AMÓS COMÊNIO (COMENIUS)
Authors: Lombardo Jeronimo De Oliveira
Published: March 2021

Este artigo, em linhas gerais, tem como objetivo expor o pensamento pedagógico de João Amós Comênio. O educador tcheco procurou sintetizar as vertentes educacionais existentes em sua época. Seus escritos, principalmente a Didática Magna, sua obra prima, contribuíram para a percepção dos docentes acerca das metodologias empregadas no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, fundando, assim, a Didática Moderna.  O autor foi influenciado, sobretudo devido à própria experiência de vida, pela educação humanística e pela educação religiosa-protestante. Comênio foi um crítico contundente às instituições escolares do seu tempo, propondo um novo ideário político-social de educação, como a universalização do ensino e a não distinção entre os sexos e classes sociais, algo implementado mais tarde, somente no séc. XVIII, dentro do contexto europeu, pelos pensadores iluministas e revolucionários franceses.

Watersheds – Functions and Management
Authors: Sanjay Shukla
Published: March 2021

The term watershed is often used in discussions about water quality or flood prevention, but most people do not really understand what a watershed is. The definition of a watershed is based on a concept with which everyone is familiar: “Water runs downhill.” A Watershed is a land area whose runoff drains into any stream, river, lake, and ocean. Watershed boundary is the divide separating one drainage area from another. Watersheds may be as small as the portion of a yard draining into a mud puddle or as large as the Mississippi River Basin, which drains 1.2 million square miles. Terms like catchment or drainage basin are also used to refer to watersheds. This document is ABE350, one of a series of the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, UF/IFAS Extension.

St. Augustinegrass - Made for the Florida Shade?
Authors: Trenholm Laurie E. , Nagata Russell
Published: March 2021

Landscapes generally contain areas where turfgrass will grow under some degree of shade for some part of the day. Turf will often decline over time in heavier shade, which may not allow full sunlight throughout the day. Turf in these areas is expected to perform comparably to grass growing in full sunlight, and is generally maintained under the same fertility and cultural regimes as grass in full sunlight. While St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum [Walt.] Kuntze) cultivars are typically recognized as having better shade tolerance than other turf species used in Florida, cultivars do vary considerably in their shade tolerance. Typically, they possess relatively good tolerance to shade; however, there is significant variation within the St. Augustinegrass species for shade tolerance. This document is Fact Sheet ENH967, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture department, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

A Beginner’s Guide to Water Management — Color
Authors: LAKEWATCH Florida
Published: March 2021

Aside from water clarity, the color of water in a lake is one of the main attributes that captures people's attention—particularly if the color begins to change. As this circular explains, changes in color can affect the biological productivity of a waterbody including the abundance of aquatic plants and/or algae. However, readers will also learn that most of these changes are the result of natural processes that occur within the watershed. Related topics of discussion include apparent color, true color, suspended and dissolved substances, along with the dynamics of light refraction. The last section provides two empirical models (equations) that can be used to determine if color in a waterbody is the result of algae or suspended solids.  This document, CIR108, is the eighth of a series of information circulars dedicated to familiarizing citizens with the language and techniques used by those involved in water management. © January 2004, 1st Edition.

The Rice Effect: Sugarcane Production in Florida Following Rice
Authors: Alvarez José , Snyder George H.
Published: March 2021

Since sugarcane is the principal crop in the rice-sugarcane rotation, researchers at the University of Florida's Everglades Research and Education Center (EREC) conducted experiments to determine the effect of rice production upon the sugarcane plant crop that followed the rice crop. This document summarizes two experiments. The first analysis was based on each producer's records (Alvarez and Snyder, 1984). The second was an experiment in commercial fields (Snyder, et al., 1986). This is EDIS document FE474, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, UF/IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

Food Safety Issues in International Trade
Authors: Schmidt Ronald H. , Bates Robert P. , Archer Douglas L. , Schneider Keith R.
Published: March 2021

With the formation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995, specific principles and rules were conceived. These rules, or Sanitary & Phytosanitary Measures (e.g., SPS Agreement), relate to three primary issues or concerns: food safety, animal health, and plant health. While still controversial, the WTO/SPS Agreement does provide for more detailed control of food safety concerns and for more standardization and harmonization regarding rules and regulations. This document is FSHN034, one of a series of the Food Science and Human Nutrition Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, IFAS, University of Florida.

Extension Programs in Northeastern Florida Help Growers Produce Quality Strawberries by Improving Water and Nutrient Management
Authors: Hochmuth Robert , Dinkins David , Sweat Michael , Simonne Eric
Published: March 2021

The Florida strawberry industry is primarily located in the Plant City area with approximately 6,000 acres. There is scattered acreage in other parts of the state including Bradford County and the surrounding area of northeastern Florida. The Bradford County area was once the main strawberry producing area in the state with 1500 acres of strawberries grown during the period of 1915 to 1920. This rich heritage is still important to Bradford County's economy today. Strawberry acreage in northeastern Florida (Gainesville and north) was estimated at 40 acres in 2003. This document is HS-956, one of a series of Department of Horticultural Sciences, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Definition of Terms Used in the National Organic Program
Authors: Ferguson James J.
Published: March 2021

The National Organic Program (NOP) under the direction of the Agricultural Marketing Service, United States Department of Agriculture was established to "facilitate domestic and international marketing of fresh and processed food that is organically produced and assure consumers that such products meet consistent, uniform standards." The final rule of the National Organic Program covers production, packing and processing, marketing, retailing, and other aspects of organic operations. Given the complexity of regulatory aspects of the National Organic Program, a set of definitions (107 terms) has been developed to clarify the meaning of specific words and phrases. This set of definitions is included here to make this information more easily accessible. This document is HS963, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Ash Whitefly, Siphoninus phillyreae (Haliday) (Insecta: Homoptera: Aleyrodidae: Aleyrodinae)
Authors: Nguyen Ru , Hamon Avas B.
Published: March 2021

Ash whitefly, Siphoninus phillyreae, was described as Aleyrodes phillyreae by Haliday (1835), on Phillyrea latifolia collected in Dublin, Ireland. It has several synonyms listed in Mound and Halsey (1978). In the United States, S. phillyreae was first collected in Los Angeles County, California in 1988, and has since spread to Kern, Orange, Riverside, Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Stanislaus, Tulare and Ventura counties. Most ash whiteflies in California were found on pomegranate, ash tree, pear, apple, loquat and citrus. It causes severe damage to pear and apple in Europe. Heavy infestations caused leaf wilt, early leaf drop and smaller fruit (Bellows et al. 1990). If this whitefly is introduced into Florida we expect it to become a pest of ornamental plants and possibly other crops. This document is EENY-147, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Southern Pine Beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann (Insecta: Coleoptera: Scolytidae)
Authors: Meeker James R. , Dixon Wayne N. , Foltz John L. , Fasulo Thomas R.
Published: March 2021

The southern pine beetle (SPB), Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann, is the most destructive insect pest of pine in the southern United States. A recent historical review estimated that SPB caused $900 million of damage to pine forests from 1960 through 1990 (Price et a1. 1992). This aggressive tree killer is a native insect that lives predominantly in the inner bark of pine trees. Trees attacked by SPB often exhibit hundreds of resin masses (i.e., pitch tubes) on the outer tree bark. SPB feed on phloem tissue where they construct winding S-shaped or serpentine galleries. The galleries created by both the adult beetles and their offspring can effectively girdle a tree, causing its death. SPB also carry, and introduce into trees, blue-stain fungi. These fungi colonize xylem tissue and block water flow within the tree, also causing tree mortality (Thatcher and Conner 1985). Consequently, once SPB have successfully colonized a tree, the tree cannot survive, regardless of control measures. his document is EENY-176 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 369), one of the Featured Creatures series of the Entomology and Nematology Department, Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

A False Powder-post Beetle, Xylopsocus capucinus (Fabridius) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Bostrichidae)
Authors: Woodruff Robert E. , Gerberg E. J. , Spilman T. J.
Published: March 2021

Xylopsocus capucinus (Fabricius) has previously been intercepted at ports of entry into the U.S. on many occasions in a wide variety of plant materials. However, Fisher (1950) stated that it "has not become established in the United States." On 14 March 1978, specimens were collected from cassava branches at Homestead, Florida, by J. Peña, and subsequent surveys indicate that the species is definitely established as a part of the Florida fauna. This document is EENY-179 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 195), one of the Featured Creatures series of the Entomology and Nematology Department, Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Coconut mite, Acathrix trymatus (Keifer)
Authors: Welbourn W. C.
Published: March 2021

Acathrix trymatus was originally described by Keifer (1962b) from specimens collected in the folds of newly emerging coconut fronds in the Philippines. Keifer's generic name, Acathrix, means "short seta" for the minute scapular setae on the prodorsal sclerite of this species (Keifer 1962b). Briones (1963) investigated A. trymatus and three other eriophyid species on Philippine coconut palms and found their feeding did little damage and did not transmit cadang-cadang disease. This document is EENY-194 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 383), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), is one of the world's most destructive fruit pests. The species originated in sub-Saharan Africa and is not known to be established in the United States. When it has been detected in Florida and California, especially in recent years, each infestation necessitated intensive and massive eradication and detection procedures so that the pest did not become established. This document is EENY-214 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circulars 4, 230 and 273), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
