A noção de phainómenon em Sexto Empírico
Authors: Pereira Oswaldo Porchat
Published: May 2023

Os filósofos estoicos, na antiguidade grega, assim como Hume e sua posterioridade filosófica moderna, opuseram ao ceticismo pirrônico a famosa objeção da inação e da inconsistência, segundo a qual seria impossível a um cético agir e permanecer vivo se permanecesse coerente com sua própria filosofia. E isso precisamente porque essa sua filosofia proíbe, de fato, ao cético ter crenças de qualquer espécie que seja. Essa objeção, repetida insistentemente durante quase dois milênios, continua sendo brandida contra os céticos nos meios filosóficos de nossos dias, inclusive entre importantes estudiosos do pirronismo antigo. Sexto Empírico conheceu obviamente a objeção e nos explica como os adversários a entendem. O propósito principal deste artigo é mostrar como Sexto responde à objeção, dissolvendo-a inteiramente. Ele afirma que a formulação da objeção se deve à total ignorância do ceticismo pirrônico por parte de seus adversários e, particularmente, à sua incompreensão da linguagem (lógos) cética. E ele nos mostra como e por que os adversários foram levados a uma tal concepção distorcida do lógos cético. Se esses pontos são estabelecidos -- e eu penso que eles podem ser claramente estabelecidos com base nos textos de Sexto Empírico -- eu ouso sustentar que uma nova interpretação do pirronismo de Sexto deles inexoravelmente resulta, em oposição frontal à interpretação tradicional. E a nova interpretação não é desumana como a tradicional. Abstract As much as Stoic philosophers, in Greek Ancient philosophy, also Hume and his modern philosophical posteriority, have opposed to Pyrrhonian Skepticism the famous objection of inaction and inconsistency, according to which it would be impossible for a Skeptic to act and to remain alive, if he were to remain coherent with his own philosophy. And so, precisely because this very philosophy as a matter of fact prohibits the Skeptic from having beliefs of any kind whatsoever. This objection has been insistently repeated during almost two millennia and keeps being used against the Skeptics in the philosophical circles of our days, not less by some of the more important scholars on Sextian pyrrhonism. Sextus Empiricus knew obviously the objection and explains to us how the adversaries understand it. The main purpose of this paper is to show how Sextus answers to the objection and dissolves it entirely. He affirms that the formulation of the objection is due to a total ignorance of the adversaries concerning the Pyrrhonian skepticism and, particularly, to their incomprehension of the skeptic language (lógos). And he indicates to us how and why the adversaries have been led to such a distorted conception of the skeptical lógos. If these points are established -- and I do think that they can be clearly established on the basis of Sextus Empiricus' texts -- I dare to claim that a new interpretation of Sextus' Pyrrhonism results inexorably from them, in frontal opposition to the traditional interpretation. And the new interpretation is not inhumane like the traditional one. Recebido em 07/2014Aprovado em 08/2014
Clareza e distinção e motivação da vontade

Russell and Wittgenstein on time and memory: two different uses of the cinematographic metaphor
Authors: Silva Guilherme Ghisoni da
Published: May 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é explorar os usos de Wittgenstein e de Russell da metáfora cinematográfica. Wittgenstein utilizou a metáfora frequentemente durante o período intermediário (1929-1933). Russell a usou em um artigo de 1915. Situarei o uso de Russell em relação a sua filosofia de 1912-1919 (em especial, durante o período construtivista (1914-1919)) e o de Wittgenstein em relação a sua filosofia do período intermediário. Como será visto ao longo do artigo, o aspecto temporal é o elemento central da metáfora. Buscarei reconstruir os conceitos de tempo por eles mobilizados e explorarei os diferentes estatutos concedidos à memória, como condição de possibilidade do tempo da experiência imediata. Embora seja possível localizar várias semelhanças entre esses autores, veremos também algumas diferenças cruciais. O principal elemento que buscarei expor através dessa análise é a maneira como Russell e Wittgenstein concebem de forma inversa o estatuto ontológico da metáfora. AbstractThe aim of this paper is to explore Wittgenstein's and Russell's use of the cinematographic metaphor. Wittgenstein used the metaphor frequently during his middle period (1929--1933). Russell used it in a paper from 1915. I place their uses of this metaphor against the background of Russell's philosophy from 1912 to 1919 (especially his constructivist period from 1914 to 1919) and Wittgenstein's middle period. As demonstrated throughout this paper, time is the key element of both uses. I reconstruct their concepts of time and deal with the important roles attributed to memory in relation to time. Although many similarities can be found, with careful examination some remarkable differences can be seen. The cinematographic metaphor can be used as a starting point to articulate those differences. My final objective is to show how Russell and Wittgenstein used the metaphor inverting its ontological status.Recebido em novembro de 2014 Aprovado em abril de 2015
Sobre o sublime teórico em Schiller e o espírito trágico do idealismo transcendental
Authors: Barbosa Ricardo
Published: May 2023

Friedrich Schiller reformulou a concepção kantiana do sublime distinguindo entre o sublime teórico e o sublime prático. A originalidade de sua contribuição pode ser vista especialmente no desenvolvimento da teoria do sublime prático. O presente trabalho procura mostrar que a teoria do sublime teórico pode ser desenvolvida em sentido análogo e interpretada em conexão com um clássico motivo filosófico, o thaumázein, e considerada como especialmente representativa do espírito trágico do idealismo transcendental.
A locomoção natural dos elementos: Tomás de Aquino, crítico de Aristóteles latino
Authors: Dos Santos Evaniel Brás
Published: May 2023

Neste artigo sustento, por um lado, a ocorrência da afirmação do automovimento dos elementos na Physica II, 1, de Aristóteles latino (Vetus) e, por outro, a existência de uma crítica explícita estabelecida por Tomás de Aquino no In Physica II, 1, n. 3, à tese do automovimento dos elementos presente na Physica II, 1. A análise se baseia em dois termos: motum e movendi, termos que traduzem á½ÏÎ¼á½´Î½ e ÎºÎ¹Î½Îµá¿–ÏƒÎ¸Î±Î¹ respectivamente. Partindo de uma micro exegese de tais termos, sobretudo quando dizem respeito aos corpos simples, explicito que a ciência natural de Aristóteles latino e a ciência natural de Tomás são incompatíveis no âmbito da filosofia e da gramática, uma vez que, para o primeiro, natureza é necessariamente princípio ativo, e, para o segundo, ela só pode ser princípio passivo.
Incompetent Knowledge: Virtues and Virtualities
Authors: Bensusan Hilan
Published: May 2023

The paper reflects on some elements of Sosa's recently proposed SSS scheme. It considers the dispositional elements involved in some virtue-based epistemological approaches and their underlying counterfactual structure. These considerations ground a contrast between the virtue-based approach and a proposed virtuality-based approach where the underlying counterfactual is associated with no talk of abilities, capacities or competences.
Saul Kripke e o paradoxo do dogmatismo
Authors: Fett João Rizzio Vicent
Published: May 2023

RESUMO: O slogan "Conhecimento gera dogmatismo" causa-nos imediata perplexidade. O dogmatismo é trivialmente tomado como uma postura irracional de manutenção de crenças. Saul Kripke, contra esta intuitiva perspectiva, ofereceu um argumento que supostamente prova que se você sabe que uma proposição P é verdadeira, então você está autorizado a ser dogmático quanto a se P. Neste ensaio, temos os seguintes objetivos. Em primeiro lugar, vamos criticar uma recente objeção ao argumento pró-dogmatismo de Kripke feita por Rodrigo Borges, segundo a qual, uma suposição sobre meta-conhecimento deve ser assumida por Kripke a fim de que seu argumento seja defensável. Em segundo lugar, vamos propor uma outra crítica ao argumento de Kripke, segundo a qual uma de suas premissas assume uma perigosa dose de voluntarismo doxástico, o que compromete irremediavelmente o seu argumento. Concluiremos que embora o argumento de Kripke possa ser defendido de certas críticas, a sua conclusão paradoxical é injustificada.ABSTRACT: The slogan “Knowledge breeds dogmatism” causes us perplexity. Dogmatism is trivially taken as an epistemically irrational attitude. Saul Kripke, however, going against this intuitive view, has put forward an argument that purportedly proves the following: if you know that a proposition, P, is true, then you are entitled to dogmatically disregard counterevidence for P. In this essay, we have the following aims. First, after examining the nature of the paradox, we will criticize a recent objection against Kripke's argument presented by Rodrigo Borges, according to which some meta-knowledge should be assumed in order for the argument to be tenable. Second, we will present another objection against Kripke's argument, according to which one of its premises assumes a dangerous dose of doxastic voluntarism, what spoils his argument. We will conclude that, even if Kripke's argument can be defended from some objections, its paradoxical conclusion is unjustified.
Quem tem medo da guilhotina? – Hume e Moore sobre a falácia naturalista
Authors: Oliveira André Matos de Almeida , Cardoso Renato César
Published: May 2023

Neste trabalho, pretende-se analisar o que se quer dizer com “falácia naturalista” e saber se há bons argumentos para sustentarmos a existência de uma falácia desse tipo. Começaremos estudando o que Hume falou sobre o assunto; se realmente ele enunciou algo como uma “Lei” contra derivar um “dever-ser” de um “ser”. Depois da obra de Hume, passaremos à de Moore. Na obra de Moore, veremos se ele quer dizer com o termo o mesmo que dizemos atualmente. Analisadas as obras dos dois autores, passaremos, por último, a estudar o que “falácia naturalista” e “derivar um dever-ser de um ser” quer dizer hoje. Concluiremos que não há bons argumentos para aceitarmos que o que esses termos denotam é de fato uma falácia. Abstract:In this work, our aim is to investigate the meaning of the term “naturalistic fallacy”, and if there are good arguments to sustain the existence of a fallacy of this kind. We will begin studying what Hume said about the matter; if he really enunciated something like a “Law” against deriving a “is” from a “ought”. In the next section, we will proceed to the the arguments brought by Moore, to see whether the meaning of term is the same for him and us. Having analyzed the works of the two authors, we will proceed, in the final section, to study what the terms “naturalistic fallacy” and “deriving an ought from an is” means today. Finally, we will conclude that there aren’t good arguments for us to accept that what these terms denote is in fact a fallacy.
Espécies naturais e essências: o papel desempenhado pelos postulados científicos no externalismo semântico de Hilary Putnam
Authors: Fonseca Alexandre Müller
Published: May 2023

Alguns autores têm afirmado que o externalismo semântico de Putnam implica em um tipo de essencialismo que não descreve adequadamente a prática científica, já que as referências dos termos que designam espécies naturais seriam determinadas por características essenciais dos exemplares que compõem cada uma daquelas espécies. Essas essências seriam as verdadeiras responsáveis pela identidade das espécies naturais. Uma vez conhecidas tais essências, estaríamos aptos a identificar tais espécies em qualquer mundo possível, visto que suas essências permaneceriam estáveis mesmo diante de mudanças nas descrições de outros de seus atributos. Logo, o externalismo semântico parece inadequado para explicar o desenvolvimento da ciência. Ademais, os critérios de identificação de espécies químicas e biológicas não são fixados da maneira proposta por Putnam. Este artigo apresenta essas objeções ao externalismo semântico de Putnam e formula uma resposta, afirmando que Putnam não postulou uma tese própria sobre critérios de identidade para espécies naturais. Sustenta-se que as menções de Putnam a postulados científicos são melhor compreendidas se interpretadas como elementos adicionais para a determinação das referências de termos que designam espécies naturais.Abstract:Some authors have argued that Putnam’s semantic externalism entails a kind of essentialism which does not describe scientific practice adequately, since the references of the terms that designate natural kinds would be determined by essential traits of the specimens which make up those natural kinds. Those essences would account for the identity of natural kinds. Once such essences are known, we would be able to identify natural kinds in anypossible world, since such essences would remain stable even in the face of abrupt changes in the descriptions of other kinds’ attributes. Therefore, semantic externalism seems inadequate for accounting the development of science. Furthermore, the identification criteria for chemical and biological species are not determined in the mannerproposed by Putnam. This paper presents those criticisms to Putnam’s semantic externalism and formulates a reply, stating that Putnam did not posit a thesis on identity criteria for natural kinds. His Putnam’ references to scientific postulates are better understood when interpreted as additional elements for the determination of thereferences of natural kind terms.Keywords: Essentialism; Reference; Necessity; Natural kinds; Meaning; Hilary Putnam.
Lendo Aristóteles por óculos judeus: Maimônides e os Oito Capítulos
Authors: Lima Filho José Edmar , Ribeiro Leonardo Lima
Published: May 2023

O artigo trata de apresentar a obra Oito Capítulos, Shemona Perakim (introdução ao Pirkei Avot, Ética dos Pais, uma das partes integrantes do Comentário de Mishná), de Maimônides (Rabi Moshé Ben Maimon, 1135-1204), procurando estabelecer uma compreensão introdutória dos elementos centrais que se referem ao tema da ética. A metodologia hermenêutica utilizada demonstra o caráter de imersão na obra em questão, traçando uma breve explanação de cada uma das seções componentes do texto maimonidiano, pela qual se procura, como fio condutor, a identificação dos princípios fundamentais sobre os quais se ergue o projeto ético do autor, que o faz por meio de uma reflexão que articula a Torah judaica com elementos da ética aristotélica.Palavras-chave: Oito Capítulos. Introdução ao Pirkei Avot. Ética e fé judaica.ABSTRACTThe article deals with presenting the work Eight Chapters, Shemonah Perakim (introduction to the Pirkei Avot, Ethics of the Fathers, one of the integral parts of the Commentary of Mishnah), from Maimonides(Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon, 1135-1204), seeking to set up an introductory understanding of the major elements that refer to the theme of ethics. The hermeneutic methodology used shows the attempt at plunging into the work in question, drawing a brief explanation of sections that compound the Maimonidean text, through which it is attempted as a leading thread to find out the fundamental principles on which stands the author’s ethical projectthat is developed through a reflection that articulates the Jewish Torah with elements of Aristotelian ethics.Keywords: Eight Chapters.

Huet, Descartes e o Ceticismo
Authors: Maia Neto José Raimundo
Published: May 2023

São examinadas as relações pessoais e filosóficas do cético francês da segunda metade do século XVII, Pierre-Daniel Huet, com os principais filósofos seus contemporâneos que apresentaram perspectivas céticas: François de La Mothe le Vayer, Blaise Pascal, Simon Foucher e Pierre Bayle. A longa trajetória intelectual de Huet, aqui resumida do ponto de vista de sua relação com estes filósofos, ilumina a origem da configuração do que é hoje conhecido como ceticismo moderno ou cartesiano. AbstractThe paper is about the personal and philosophical connections between the French skeptic of the second half of the 17th century Pierre-Daniel Huet and the main philosophers who held skeptical views at his time: François de la Mothe Le Vayer, Blaise Pascal, Simon Foucher and Pierre Bayle. Huet’s long intellectual life, abridged in the paper from the point of view of his relationship with these philosophers, sheds light on the origin of the epistemological position known today as modern or Cartesian skepticism.
A Ciência Política em Thomas Reid
Authors: Freitas Vinicius França
Published: May 2023

O artigo compreende a discussão de três aspectos do pensamento político de Thomas Reid. Inicialmente, apresenta-se e discute-se a compreensão reidiana de ciência política. Na sequência, argumenta-se que, diferentemente dos princípios primeiros de outros campos do saber, como, por exemplo, a matemática, a filosofia da mente e a moral, os princípios primeiros da ciência política não são princípios primeiros do senso comum. A política é fundada sobre uma forma de conhecimento empírico que não pode ser identificada com o senso comum, com os julgamentos e crenças devidos à constituição original da mente que são compartilhadas pela maior parte dos seres humanos. Por fim, argumenta-se, a partir de um paralelo com a filosofia da natureza, que o senso comum possui apenas um papel metodológico no âmbito da ciência política.AbstractThe paper covers the discussion of three aspects of Thomas Reid’s political thought. Initially, it presents and discusses Reid’s understanding of Politics. Secondly, it is argued that, unlike the first principles of other branches of knowledge, such as Mathematics, Philosophy of Mind and Morals, the first principles of Politics are not the first principles of common sense. Politics is founded on a form of empirical knowledge that cannot be identified with common sense, with the judgments and beliefs due to the original constitution of mind that are shared by most humans. Finally, it is argued, from a parallel with the philosophy of nature, that common sense has only a methodological role in Politics.
Tempo e linguagem em Wittgenstein e Russell – a interpretação de Bento Prado Neto
Authors: Ghisoni Ghuilherme
Published: May 2023

RESUMOBento Prado de Almeida Ferraz Neto, em seu livro de 2003, oferece uma análise detida do §67 das Observações Filosóficas de Wittgenstein e mostra como este parágrafo se encontra diretamente relacionado ao abandono do projeto de construção de uma linguagem fenomenológica, em 1929, por razões relacionadas ao tempo. O objetivo deste artigo é traçar paralelos entre a análise de Ferraz Neto do §67 e um argumento utilizado por Bertrand Russell em 1901, para mostrar a impossibilidade da construção de uma série temporal a partir das qualidades (como prazer e dor). A importância do §67 reside no fato de ser o principal trecho no qual Wittgenstein expressa a impossibilidade temporal da linguagem fenomenológica. Ferraz Neto é o único comentador que de forma detida analisa este parágrafo e, a partir dele, oferece uma interpretação para a impossibilidade da linguagem fenomenológica. Meu objetivo principal é mostrar que a argumentação de Russell em 1901 antecipa alguns elementos presentes no §67, de acordo com a intepretação de Ferraz Neto. Isso nos permitirá um novo viés interpretativo para a afirmação de Wittgenstein de que o que compreendemos pela palavra “linguagem” flui no tempo homogêneo da física. Na perspectiva de Russell, essa afirmação equivaleria à constatação de que uma série temporal independente dasqualidades seria um requisito da forma lógica das proposições temporais. Isso, por sua vez, possibilitará conectar as análises fenomenológicas de Wittgenstein de 1929 com o debate acerca da contraposição entre as concepções relacional e absoluta da estrutura temporal da linguagem.Palavras-Chave: linguagem fenomenológica, tempo da memória, tempo físico, tempo relacional, tempo absoluto.ABSTRACTBento Prado de Almeida Ferraz Neto, in his book from 2003, offers a detailed analysis of the paragraph 67 from Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Remarks and shows how Wittgenstein’s abandonment of the phenomenal language project in 1929 is direct related to time. This paper aims to contrast his analysis of the paragraph 67 with anargument used by Bertrand Russell in 1901, used to demonstrate the impossibility of a temporal series constructed from the temporal relations of qualities (such as pleasure and pain). My main point is to show that Russell’s argument in 1901 anticipates some elements present in §67, according to Ferraz Neto’s interpretation. This allowsus a new perspective for Wittgenstein’s idea from 1929 that what we understand by the word “language” flows in the physical homogeneous time. In Russell’s perspective from 1901, this assertion would amount to the idea that a temporal series independent of qualities would be a requirement of the logical form of temporal propositions. This, in turn, would allow us to connect Wittgenstein’s phenomenological analyses from 1929 with the dispute between the relational and absolute concepts of the temporal structure of language.Keywords: phenomenological language, memory time, physical time, relational time, absolute time.

RESUMOO problema principal deste trabalho é realizar algumas considerações sobre o problema filosófico da normatividade, tal como ele aparece na obra Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language, de Saul Kripke (1982). Para tanto, breves considerações sobre o argumento e a resposta céticos do Wittgenstein de Kripke, associadas a considerações sobre fundacionismo e sobre questões constitutivas referentes à normatividade, serão realizadas. Ao final, o texto discutirá brevemente perspectivas sobre como elementos que caracterizam a normatividade poderiam ser explicados adotando-se a via disposicional.AbstractThe main problem of this work is to make some considerations about the philosophical problem of normativity, as it appears in Saul Kripke’s Wittgensensein on Rules and Private Language (1982). To that end, brief remarks on Kripke’s skeptical argument and skepticism, together with considerations of foundationalism and constitutive questions about normativity, will be made. In the end, the text will briefly discuss perspectives on how elements that characterize normativity could be explained by adopting the dispositional path.

Norma e essência em Espinosa
Authors: Beyssade Jean-Marie
Published: May 2023

O artigo examina algumas passagens centrais para o esclarecimento dos desafios colocados pelo pensamento da normatividade em Espinosa. Neste artigo, Jean-Marie Beyssade oferece algumas indicações preciosas sobre como a reflexão de Espinosa no campo teórico acerca da normatividade imanente à ideia verdadeira (“a verdade é norma de si mesma e do falso”) fornece elementos que permitem iluminar seu esforço para pensar também no campo prático uma concepção de normatividade imanente, concepção esta que seria compatível com sua crítica radical à finalidade externa e sua recusa de qualquer modelo exterior que condena o ser em nome do dever ser.
República e Regicidio em Kant
Authors: Beyssade Jean-Marie
Published: May 2023

Kant nega tanto todas as avaliações contrarrevolucionárias quanto qualquer direito à revolução. A fim de interpretar suas várias declarações sobre o que chamamos muito prontamente de “revolução francesa”, temos que associar duas distinções incomuns. Primeiro, uma distinção teórica entre dois conceitos de mudança, Wechsel – ou seja, substituição de uma coisa ou estado de coisas por outra, e Veränderung – ou seja, a identidade continuada de uma substância ao longo de suas transformações modais. Em segundo lugar, uma distinção política prática: a ideia representativa, que é o princípio do republicanismo, versus a democracia, que é necessariamente o despotismo.Portanto, parece que os acontecimentos na França separaram os dois critérios independentes pelos quais a revolução difere da reforma: a mudança foi iniciada pacificamente pelo rei (reforma), mas afetou necessariamenteo poder legislativo (revolução). Portanto, temos que chamar o procedimento formal que leva ao regicídio de suicídio e não de mero parricídio, e podemos atribuí-lo ao erro grosseiro do rei quando decidiu convocar os Estados Gerais. Nenhuma república pode nascer e sobreviver sem uma distância representacional entre a ideia da vontade popular geral e a realidade empírica de representantes de qualquer tipo.

The usage of floating columns for additional space is a recent trend that caters to functional needs. The architectural feature known as the floating column responds poorly to earthquakes. As a result, it should be avoided in areas prone to earthquakes. Earthquakes affect mostly where there is a weak structure; in modern buildings, apertures are widespread for lifts, lighting, and other architectural features. This review displays the results of numerous research studies. Different researchers used various floating column locations across the structure. The main goal of research conducted by various researchers is to compare structures with floating columns and without floating columns. The evaluation is done to see if the building is on the side that is safer or if it is subjected to lateral effects. This review on floating columns examines the behavior and impact on the structure as well as possible mitigation measures.

Significant development of the global power system is needed to mitigate climate change. However, patterns of power demand and transmission systems themselves depend upon the impacts of environmental change. These effects will variously hinder and help adaptation and mitigation efforts; thus, it is essential they are fully acknowledged and consolidated into models utilized for the illustration of decarbonization pathways of power systems. Climate change and global warming affect the quality of power, generation of power, and transmission of power. One of the major problems is islanding is also generated due to climate change. To recognize the present state of climate change impacts on the power systems will be discussed in detail in this paper. This paper mainly studies the effects of the environment on power generation and transmission systems. Also, the application of artificial intelligence to mitigate the issue of climate change and their corresponding impacts on the power system has been discussed.

Introduction- umbilical hernia repair has undergone various developments with laparoscopic repair of umbilical hernia
is gaining increasing popularity due to its low recurrence rate, short hospital stay, and low complication rate[1]. Aim &
Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare laparoscopic eTEP-RS & IPOM hernia repair in umbilical hernia. Method: This is a prospective
study. The total sample size for this study is 45 and among these 18 cases were from eTEP-RS and 27 cases were from IPOM in which variable
defect size, operative time, intra and postoperative complications & return to normal activities were compared. The study period was from May
2015 to June 2022. In a total of 45 cases eTEP-RS was performed in 18 patients having Results: mean age of 49 years and were mostly males
(64%) whereas IPOM was performed in 27 patients having mean age of 50 years and were mostly males(82%). We noted mean operative time of
eTEP-RS repair is 120 min which is longer than the IPOM which is 52.4 min. We have seen the post operative complications in IPOM were more
than eTEP-RS with a signicant p-value 0.014. Who underwent IPOM has mean hospital stay of 8.4 days where as in eTEP-RS it was 3 days.
Chronic abdominal pain is more signicant in IPOM. No intra operative bowel injuries in any of the cases. Laparoscopic eTEP-RS Conclusionrepair for umbilical hernia have long learning curve but it is the best method with less postoperative complications and early recovery and return

Introduction:.Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the
gastrointestinal (GI) tract. They are believed to originate from the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) or from the precursors
of ICCs. Most GISTs show an activating mutation in either the c-kit or platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) gene. Tumor
size, mitotic rate, and anatomic location correlate with potential malignancy and recurrence rate. The aim of our study is to Aim & Objectivesobserve the demographic and clinical characteristics of GIST in our clinical environment.Method- 30 patients who are diagnosed with GIST

Background:- Spinal anesthesia is the most common anaesthesia technique for cesarean section. In this technique
injection of a local anesthetic agent is injected into the subarachnoid space. The most common complication of spinal
anesthesia is hypotension which is due to sympathetic blockade and activation of the Bezold Jarisch reex which leads to the utilization of higher
doses of vasopressors for the maintenance of blood pressure. The present study was conducted to compare the effect of intravenous ondansetron
premedication on spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension with normal saline. An observa methodology:- tional study was conducted in 180 term
parturients of ASA - ІІ, scheduled for elective LSCS under spinal anesthesia. The patients were divided into two equal age groups: ondansetron
4mg (group O, n= 90) and saline group (group S, n= 90). Ondansetron 4mg (2ml) was given 10 min before the procedure in group O and group S
received 2ml normal saline. Under all aseptic precautions, subarachnoid space was accessed through L3-L4 or L4-L5 intervertebral space
using 25G Quincke's spinal needle. After conrmation of the free ow of CSF, a 2ml hyperbaric injection of bupivacaine 0.5% (Heavy) was
administered in the subarachnoid space. Mean arterial pressure less than 65mmHg was considered as hypotension and treated with iv
mephentermine 6mg bolus. The Occurrence of hypotension in Group O (22.22%) was signicantly l Result- ower than in group
S(61.11%)(p<0.001). The MAP was signicantly higher in Group O at 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,20 and 25 minutes (p<0.005). 18 (20%) patients
required one dose of mephentermine 6mg, and 2(2.22%) patients required two doses in group O. In group S 40 patients ((44.44%) required one
dose of mephentermine 10 patients ((11.11%) ) required two doses and 5 patients (5.55%) required 3 doses. In group O 3 patients (3.33%) and
in group S, 12 patients (13.33%) had nausea which was statistically signicant with a P value of 0.01. In group S 12 patients (13.33%) and 4
patients (4.44%) in group O had shivering. Which was statistically signicant with a P value of 0.03. Ondansetron is effective in Conclusion –
preventing spinal-induced hypotension in elective cesarean section

Background: Primary Dysmenorrhea refers to painful menstruation without any pelvic pathology. Women with this
condition reported that menstruation have a negative impact on their quality of life. To compare the effect of Objective:
Spinal thrust Manipulation versus Maitland Mobilization in subjects with primary Dysmenorrhea in terms of pain and Quality of life by using
VAS and MOOS Questionnaire. Setting and design: A Randomized controlled study was conducted in tertiary health centre, Belagavi Methods:
Forty-two females between 19-25 years of age with Primary Dysmenorrhea were recruited and were randomly allocated in three groups. All
groups received hot moist pack and deep transverse massage as a conventional therapy, in addition Group B received spinal thrust manipulation
and Group C received Maitland mobilization on their 21st, 23rd and 1st day of menstrual cycle. Patients were assessed at baseline and post
intervention using VAS and MOOS Questionnaire. The Intra group analysis showed a Results: considerable amount of change in percentage of
VAS in group B and MOOS in group C (p<0.05). Inter group analysis of group A and B showed statistical differences in VAS. Group C showed
statistical difference in MOOS score as compare to group A. Post HOC analysis showed no signicant differences in the variables. Conclusion:
Spinal thrust manipulation and Maitland mobilization were equally effective in reducing pain and improving quality of life in subjects with
primary dysmenorrhea
A RARE CASE OF ACUTE ABDOMEN - TORSION OF OMENTAL LIPOMA

Published: May 2023

Lipoma is a most common capsulated benign connective tissue
tumour in our body but rarely at ometum. Any twist in the omental
lipoma leads to acute abdominal pain. There are very few reported
cases of torsion of ometal lipoma. As it is having non specic signs and
symptoms, became challenging. Long term behaviour is not known,
because of less published reports, and it's an differential diagnosis for
intra abdominal mass. Denitive management is surgical removal,
irrespective of size and being encapsulated with lack of inltration to

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common musculoskeletal diseases affecting a major population in India. It
can impact the individual's functions and activities of daily living. Total knee arthroplasty may raise controversy when
treating the younger, athletic patient with arthritis. Arthroscopic debridement, high tibial osteotomy, unicondylar knee arthroplasty, and total
knee arthroplasty allow younger patients to maintain an active, healthy lifestyle but can take a longer time to rehabilitate. PFO could be used as an
alternative procedure. The Proximal Fibular Osteotomy, which provides immediate short term relief in cases with medial compartment
osteoarthritis. Resecting a segment of bula, loosens the lateral side allowing the upper tibia to settle into a more favorable lateral alignment,
shifting the mechanical axis towards neutral or valgus. Aims & objectives:
Ÿ To assess the functional, clinical and radiological outcome of proximal bular osteotomy in grade 2 and 3 OA of knee and followed up for 1
year.
Ÿ The clinical and functional outcome is accessed by Knee Society Score and VAS observed pre-op , post-op ,3 months ,6 months and 12
months.
Ÿ The improvement in radiology is accessed using change in the medial joint space improvements in CP angle, change in the ratio of medial
joint space to lateral joint space observed pre-op and post-op
Methodology:
The patients selected had grade 2 and 3 Osteoarthritis of knee according to Kellgren Lawrence classication between the age groups 20yrs-80yrs
and are admitted to RajaRajeswari Medical College and Hospital, Bangalore. The Sample Size is 30 and is calculated based on previous studies
as well as approximate availability of number of cases in the above mentioned duration satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Clinical,
functional and radiological outcome were used, Results were calculated using Knee Society Scoring Scale score. This study Conclusion:
suggested that Proximal Fibular Osteotomy is an alternative procedure that can be used to treat medial compartment knee Osteoarthritis, if the
patients are selected carefully. Patients followed up for one year showed a signicant improvement in radiological, clinical and functional
outcomes and thereby is an effective method of treatment in younger patients with Grade 2 and Grade 3 Osteoarthritis with an average BMI of

Background- Cervical lymphadenopathy is one of the most frequent clinical presentation of patients attending out
patient department and also the most common manifestations of underlying pathology of the head and neck region, with
numerous differential diagnoses such as neoplasms and infections Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is considered as a safe, easy, quick
and also the rst line diagnostic technique for evaluation of cervical lymphadenopathy. The study comprised of 150 Materials and methodpatients clinically presenting with cervical lymph node swelling coming for FNAC to the department of pathology. Out of 150 patients, 25
patients underwent surgery and histopathological correlation was done for these patients. Results: Among the 150 cases majority of the patients
were males 70 % with M:F ratio 2.33:1.Age of the patients ranged from 1 to 90 years with a mean age of 40.44 years.Most of the lymph node
lesions were seen in the age group of 21-30 years(20.67%). Level IIb lymph node was most commonly affected(36%).In FNAC 63.70 % cases
were benign and 36.29 % cases were malignant.Among the benign lesions Reactive lymphoid hyperplasia was most common(25.9%) and in the
malignant lesions metastatic carcinoma was most common(19.25%). In HPE 82.5% were benign and 17.5% were malignant.There was a strong
correlation among the FNAC and HPE ndings where reactive lymphoid hyperplasia was found to be most common benign lesion. Conclusion:
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology is a rapid, safe, efcient, cost-effective and the rst line investigation for diagnosis of cervical lymph node
lesions. Histopathological examination however remains the gold standard for denitive diagnosis of in certain malignant lymph node lesion

The development of quantum computers is bringing major changes to the IT sector. These computers, based on completely new principles, can provide effective solutions to previously unsolvable problems. Regulations have already been introduced in the European Union and Hungarian law to confirm that we are getting closer to the era of quantum computers. Therefore, we believe that education and teachers should follow the development of these machines so that future students in the field of information technology, whether they are IT teachers, physicists, or programmers, are not caught unawares. In this article, we present some examples from abroad where quantum computing topics are already included at certain levels of education.
Talent Targeting at secondary school – Pilot Study
Authors: Sarmasági Pál György
Published: May 2023

All students have the right to an education that is appropriate to their ability, but this is not the case in practice, either at home or internationally. Public education focuses on the middle of the Gaussian curve, and deviating from it in either direction is unfortunate, especially for students with a talent for computer science. The first step in providing the right level of education and talent management is to identify the students concerned. To support this aim, the article presents a complex approach used in business. The identification of the target group, its dynamic management, and the organization of the necessary measurements into a coherent concept form the theoretical background of an ongoing experiment.
