In Senegal, like almost everywhere in Africa, the majority of the population uses medicinal plants for treatment. Thus, medicinal plants occupy an important place in scientific research. The objective of this study is to contribute to the valorization of Z. mauritiana through the study of the antioxidant capacity and its nutritional composition. The leaf extract showed greater antioxidant capacity. It presented the lowest IC50 which are 40.5049 ± 0.0313 and 44.3500 ± 0.0412 μg/ml respectively for the inhibition of DPPH and ABTS radicals. The flower extract presented an IC50 of 715.4129 ± 0.0221 μg/ml with DPPH and IC50 of 80.9238 ± 0.01212 μg/ml with ABTS. The water content in the flowers is slightly higher than the leaves, respectively 9.6095 ± 0.0233 g/100g and 9.4400 ± 0.4511 g/100g. The ash content in the leaves was significantly higher than in the flowers (respectively 9,954 g/100g and 8,621 g/100g). The leaves contained respectively 4.3765 ± 0.0445; 4.1750 ± 0.6466; 284.0000 ± 0.5204; 19.9500 ± 1.2413; 65.9012 ± 1.5366; 65.5000 ± 0.6765 and 2.1170 ± 0.0076 g/100g of zinc, iron, magnesium, copper, potassium, calcium and sodium. The composition of flowers in the same order was 4.0660 ± 0.0701; 4.2500 ± 0.4543; 322.5000 ± 2.4149; 21.4250 ± 0.6495; 80.3750 ± 1.9211 and 62.7250 ± 1.1669 g/100g. The leaves and flowers of Ziziphus mauritiana lam. contain minerals and are a potential source of natural antioxidants. It could be beneficial in the prevention of degenerative diseases linked to oxidative stress.
Historicity of the Garden of Eden: Exploring Lake Van, Qurnah, and Pushkar
Authors: Jhunjhunwala Bharat
Published: December 2023

We compare the descriptions of the Garden of Eden in Genesis 1-3 with the geographical, archaeological and etymological evidences and textual parallels from Lake Van in Turkey, Qurnah in Iraq, and Pushkar in India. We develop a method of simultaneously considering the information from above four parameters to arrive at an overall level of parallel with the Biblical descriptions. We find that the descriptions find 15 percent parallels with Lake Van, 53 percent parallels with Qurnah and 72 percent parallels with Pushkar. This leads us to suggest that a strong case exists for the location of the Garden at Pushkar in India. In particular, we find four rivers coming out of Pushkar as described in the Bible. The historicity of the Bible would be strengthened if the suggestion is found acceptable by the scholars.
ROSES, the only RObotic System for any Endovascular Surgery, Including the Control of an Animated Catheter Characterized by the Presence of two Controlled Curvatures

The paper presents ROSES, its robotic components, the different devices, not necessarily sterile, and its disposables, suitable for any endovascular procedure, both actually performed and presently not assisted by any robotic system, and open in the future for new application yet to come, such as what will be allowed by the new animated catheter. In fact, this is due to the mechanical configuration of the robotic actuators based on a peculiar gear train which presents a big passage hole which allows both the passage of big catheters and even hemostasis valves, as well as full control of very small catheters and guide wires. The system measures forces opposed by the body showing their value both numerically and analogically without the need of any. special tool, measures length of penetration of each catheter and guide wires recording their value. Thus, it may become in future, connected to a work station that will register in real time also the fluoroscopic images, a kind of black box of endovascular surgeries, separating completely doctor and nurses from the patient, using also cameras and microphones to replace the physical contact with the patient.

Seed predation of Araucaria angustifolia by Sapajus nigritus
Authors: Pagno Luana , Cândido José F. , Brocardo Carlos R.
Published: December 2023

n this study, we quantified seed predation of the Paraná Pine (Araucaria angustifolia) by black capuchin monkeys (Sapajus nigritus), in order to better understand their impact on forest regeneration. This study was conducted in an Araucaria forest fragment in the state of Paraná, Brazil. We marked 31 female Paraná pines and counted the seed cones, which ranged from 0 to 20 per tree (Mean = 5, SD ± 5.06). We recorded 88 predated cones, with an average of 2.35 ± 3.83 per tree. During the study period the monkeys only ate seeds from immature cones. The reason why the monkeys fed only on immature seeds may have been related to the scarcity of mature seeds and other resources. Comparing the seasons, we found a significant difference in the number of predation events between them. Cone predation on the top of each female Paraná pine was proportional to crop size, and totaled 57% of all cone production, which may have an impact on regeneration of this endan- gered gymnosperm. Thus, the ecological role played by the capuchin monkeys can be seen as going beyond seed dispersal, showing that this species may influence forest recruitment negatively through pre-dispersal seed predation.
Methods for capturing wild squirrel monkeys in a floodplain forest: A comparison of two techniques and two species
Authors: Paim Fernanda Pozzan , Rabelo Rafael Magalhães
Published: December 2023

Field studies of primates often require the capture and marking of individuals in order to monitor behavior, health and population parameters. However, there have been few field studies in which squirrel monkeys (genus Saimiri) have been successfully captured. Here we report results obtained using two different trapping methods to capture Saimiri vanzolinii and S. cassiquiarensis in Central Amazonia, Brazil. We constructed 20 trapping stations, each one consisting of a platform containing a pair of Tomahawk traps, which were monitored by camera traps and baited with half a bunch of bananas, daily (at 6:00h and removed at 17:00h), during three months preceding the capture. We captured eight individuals of S. vanzolinii in two stations during five days (capture rate of 1.6 individuals/day). We were unable to capture individuals of S. cassiquiarensis using the Tomahawk traps; thus, we manually captured the individuals while they were foraging on the ground. To capture them, these individuals were first corralled and then captured with dip nets and leather gloves. We captured twelve individuals in seven days (capture rate of 1.7 individuals/day). We believe that both of these methods can be used for trapping squirrel monkeys, since they take into account the foraging strategies of the species, use of space, the presence of other competitive species such as capuchin monkeys, and the ecological features of the study area.

The buffy-tufted-ear marmoset (Callithrix aurita) is a small primate endemic to the montane regions of the southeastern Atlantic Forest in Brazil. The species was formerly listed as “Vulnerable” (VU) on the Brazilian Official National List of Threatened Fauna Species, but in December 2014 it was re-classified as “Endangered” (EN) as a result of habitat loss, forest fragmentation and, especially, competition and hybridization with invasive marmosets (Callithrix spp.). This article gives an overview of the current conservation status of and field research on C. aurita that includes the objectives set forth by the C. aurita Conservation Project (spearheaded in December 2014 by a group of C. aurita researchers), and the related set of integrated conservation actions. These actions include expanded geographical surveys of C. aurita populations, improvements to a captive C. aurita breeding program, and the establishment of new protected areas as part of a C. aurita metapopulation management program. Despite these current efforts, however, the strengthening and consolidation of urgent conservation actions to protect the buffy-tufted-ear marmoset still depend on a variety of factors, including increased institutional collaboration and augmented financial support. Enhancing institutional and financial backing for C. aurita conservation will improve our understanding of the various challenges involved and, facilitate the rapid development of alternative strategies to mitigate ongoing threats to the species.

Demography, habitat use and activity budget of a wild group of black-faced black spider monkeys (Ateles chamek) in Las Piedras, south-eastern Perú
Authors: Lange Liselot Roos , Robson Nicola Marie
Published: December 2023

Spider monkeys are one of the main seed-dispersal agents in the Amazonian ecosystem and therefore help regenerate the rainforest. The black-faced black spider monkey (Ateles chamek) is internationally recognized as Endangered, and its range is limited to Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. Spider monkeys are a difficult genus to study and little is known about their populations in the wild. Here we present the results of a study on demography, habitat use, activity budget and preliminary notes on ranging pattern and diet of a wild group of A. chamek studied in a floodplain forest in south-eastern Peru. The group (in total eight to nine individuals) had a home range of approximately 1.6 km2 (160 hectares) with a daily path length of approximately 1,200 m. The group was encountered at canopy levels above 20 m in height 75.2% of the time and rarely descended to lower forest levels. There was a weak but significant positive correlation between the number of encounters with individuals of the study group and the number of feeding trees in an area (R2 = 0.38, N = 93, P > 0.001). The majority of their diet consisted of fruits, followed by leaves. Resting accounted for 41.9% of their activity budget, with foraging accounting for 30% and traveling 23.8%. Most findings of this study are consistent with other studies on the species, but we found that the group size in our study was unusually small. However, this did not seem to have an influence on home range size or activity budget.

O bugio-ruivo (Alouatta guariba clamitans) é um primata que habita a Floresta Atlântica, ameaçado de extinção principalmente por destruição de seus habitats e mortes por febre amarela nas últimas décadas. No município de Santa Maria, RS, a espécie ocupa áreas florestais na zona rural e em anos recentes tem sido observada também em bairros periféricos da cidade. As percepções e as atitudes da população local em relação aos bugios podem ser decisivas para a persistência da espécie nessas áreas. Neste estudo avaliamos os saberes, as percepções e as atitudes dos sujeitos em relação aos bugios, bem como o impacto de atividades educativas. Para tal utilizamos entrevistas (moradores dos bairros), palestras, atividades lúdicas e questionários (público escolar). Os moradores dos bairros consideraram importante a presença dos bugios, mas também demonstraram preocupação com sua suposta agressividade e com a transmissão da febre amarela. Os estudantes demonstraram bom conhecimento sobre aspectos ecológicos dos bugios, mas menos informações corre- tas sobre o ciclo da febre amarela, porém, as ações educativas modificaram positivamente seus saberes prévios. A visão positiva da população sobre os bugios, a ausência de relatos de conflitos e a baixa frequência de conhecimentos incorretos e atitudes inadequadas mostram um cenário favorável à conservação dos bugios no município.

Attack of an infant by a female in a troop of howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra)
Authors: Parsons James , Svensson Magdalena S.
Published: December 2023

Within the New World primate family of Atelidae, infanticidal attacks are most commonly reported in howler monkeys (Alouatta spp., Crockett, 2003; Knopff et al., 2004; Aguiar et al., 2005; Agoramoorthy and Rudran, 2009; Van Belle et al., 2010; Pavé et al., 2012). The howler monkey species that have been observed to exhibit this behaviour are black and gold howler monkeys (Alouatta caraya, Crockett, 2003; Pavé et al., 2012); Colombian red howler monkeys (A. seniculus, Agoramoorthy and Rudran, 1995; Beltrán and Stevenson, 2012); mantled howler monkeys (A. palliata, Crockett, 2003); brown howler monkeys (Martins et al., 2015); and Yucatán black howler monkeys (A. pigra, Crockett, 2003; Van Belle et al., 2010). In these documented attacks there is a lack of detail regarding the involvement of females, as the male is usually identified as the aggressor. These attacks are likely to occur following the immigration of a new male to a troop (Van Belle et al., 2010; Beltrán and Stevenson, 2012), up to five months after taking over a troop (Agoramoorthy and Rudran, 2009). A majority of infanticidal attacks in howler monkeys involve assumed unrelated assailant and victim, therefore these instances align with the sexual selection hypothesis (Hrdy, 1979).

The field experiment was conducted during the winter (kharif) seasons of 2021-22 and 2022-23 at CSIR-Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research Centre Purara, Bageshwar, Uttarakhand. The study's objective was to investigate the most effective combinations of plant spacing configurations and NPK levels to enhance biomass and seed yield of kalmegh [Andrographis paniculata (Burm. F.) Wall ex. Nees] under the Western Himalayan region of Uttarakhand. The experiment consisted of nine treatments, comprising three different plant spacing (60x30 cm, 60 x45 cm, 60x60 cm) and three NPK levels (40:30:20, 80:60:30, 120:90:40), arranged in factorial randomised block design. The results indicated that treatment T3 (120:90:40 NPK) and spacing S3 (60x60 cm) consistently demonstrated superior performance, resulting in the highest plant height, number of branches, LAI, total dry matter weight, dry seed weight, and leaf stem ratio. Treatment T2 (80:60:30 NPK) and spacing S2 (60x 45 cm) displayed intermediate results, while treatment T1 (40:30:20 NPK) and spacing S1 (60 x 30 cm) exhibited relatively lower values for most parameters.

Published: December 2023

With the rapid development of information technology, the network health community has become an important way of doctor-patient communication in the new era. As the starting point of the doctor-patient communication process, patient information needs are an important basis for conducting information communication research in online health communities. In this study, we take the question data of medical patients in the "ask and answer" community from the website called "xunyiwenyao" in 2022 as samples, and the TF-IDF algorithm was applied to draw word cloud map to reveal the hot spots of patient information demand in the secondary department, apply the BTM toic model to identify the information demand topic of patients in the network health community, and extract the information demand preferences of internal medicine patients. The study found that users of patients in online health communities pay more attention to the causes and countermeasures of initial symptoms and uncomfortable symptoms, and prefer to obtain relevant information about the efficacy and side effects of medical products.

Published: December 2023

In order to fill the lack of knowledge graph based on real experimental data from Laboratory Information System (LIS) in the field of medical testing, a method and system for constructing medical testing knowledge graph based on LIS is proposed. The problem of how to obtain rich and accurate literature resources of medical specialty from the real world is solved by building a database and tools such as reasoning machine. Using a large number of clinical laboratory specimens as a data source, data mining technology is used to analyze and process the massive information, so as to generate a high-quality visualization of the medical test knowledge graph. Doctors first do some pre-diagnostic preparations for patients, and then conduct a comprehensive and systematic physical examination. By building a medical test knowledge map, we have brought new possibilities for the application scenarios of LIS system.
Study and Application of Optimization Model on Survey Line under Multibeam Bathymetric System
Authors: Ni Lincheng
Published: December 2023

In this paper, the definition of overlap rate is deduced so as to clarify the influence of overlap rate between the horizontal plane and the slope on the multibeam line measurement problem, and the artificial correction is calculated by taking the average value of the coverage widths of the two times before and after. The expressions for the coverage widths of different lines and their corresponding water depths, slope inclination angles, and transducer opening angles are derived from the functional relationship by combining numerical and morphological methods. The resulting expression of the coverage width W was corrected, averaged and brought into the definition of the overlap rate, resulting in the final expression to calculate the corresponding value, and the resolution and accuracy of the data results were high.

Today, with the strong return of traditional culture, the integration of the two will deeply affect the protection of traditional handicrafts and the field of cultural communication. The industrialized production mode has gradually replaced the labor-intensive production mode, and handicrafts have gradually faded out of the public consumption field. The brain drain is serious, and many handicrafts with a long history have no successors. Under the background of AI(artificial intelligence) empowerment, this paper combines AI with traditional handicraft skills, and makes an in-depth study on the inheritance and dissemination of traditional handicraft skills. On this basis, it further thinks about the relationship between traditional handicraft skills display and experience, and the relationship between technology and experience, and studies the change of design concept from technology-oriented to human experience-oriented in traditional handicraft skills display design, and explores the development trend of experience design concept in future traditional handicraft skills display design. Develop the path and method of innovation, protection and inheritance with the comprehensive digital virtual traditional handicraft skill framework. The integration of AI and traditional culture will inevitably broaden and upgrade the path of inheritance and innovation of traditional handicraft skills, and make it achieve new development.

With the number of Chinese ships rapidly increasing, the available channels for the Automatic Identification System (AIS) are serious congested. This has led to a sharp rise in collision warnings. The maritime communication System is comprehensively updated from AIS to VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) in order to ensure efficient communication of huge scale, high density maritime ships as well as guarantee marine navigation security. In this paper, the new generation marine navigation security communication system based on VDES is studied. Designing communication systems for ships at sea, shore-based base stations and space-based satellites; The two-way data exchange between huge scale, high density ships-to-ships and ship-to-shore by VHF frequency band in nearshore and port areas can promote the development of maritime navigation technology and maritime economic.
The Ilímaussaq alkaline complex, South Greenland – an overview of 200 years of research and an outlook
Authors: Sørensen Hennning
Published: December 2023

The Ilímaussaq alkaline complex, South Greenland, the type locality of agpaitic nepheline syenites and of thirty minerals, among which arfvedsonite, eudialyte and sodalite, has been studied since 1806. The paper reviews the  outcome of 200 years of geological investigations and presents an overview and a synthesis of the petrology of the complex. The site of the complex was invaded successively by augite syenitic, alkali granitic and nepheline syenitic melts. Remnants of the augite syenite and granite intrusions are found along the contacts of the nepheline syenites and as xenoliths in these. The nepheline syenites, which occupy the major part of the complex, are divided into a roof series, an intermediate series and a floor series. The roof series crystallized from the roof downward in the order pulaskite, foyaite, and the agpaitic rocks sodalite foyaite and naujaite. The floor series consists of cumulates: an inferred hidden part formed simultaneously with the roof series and an exposed part of layered agpaitic nepheline syenites (kakortokites) which were formed at least partly later than the roof series. The floor series passes gradually into the overlying intermediate series consisting of the agpaitic rock type called lujavrites. The lujavrites enclose rafts of naujaite and appear to have been emplaced by piecemeal stoping. The larger lujavrite masses are floor cumulates, but lujavrite dykes and sheets occupy fractures in the roof series rocks.

According to one model for the evolution of the complex, the nepheline syenites formed by consolidation of one magma batch in a closed system. The lujavrites were formed from the residual melts left after the formation of the roof series and the floor series and were sandwiched between these. A second model implies that the kakortokites and lujavrites formed from one or more separate magma pulses which intruded the already consolidated roof series rocks. This model is supported by new information on contact relations and especially on the petrology and geochemistry of a marginal pegmatitic facies that forms a rim around the kakortokite-lower aegirine lujavrite part of the complex. It consists of a massive-textured matrix intersected by pegmatites. The matrix was the first rock to form in the lowermost exposed part of the complex and gives information about the composition of the initial magma of the kakortokite-lujavrite sequence.

It is concluded that the agpaitic rocks of the complex were formed from at least two successive magma injections, which formed respectively the roof series and the kakortokite-lujavrite sequence.

De er udarbejdet af Anders Lebeck og H.P. Hanssen og befinder sig i deres personarkiver på Rigsarkivet i  Aabenraa. I artiklen analyserer han referaterne og deres udsagn om mødets forløb. Han følger Aabenraaresolutionens tilblivelse  fra de første udkast til den endelige version.
”Der skal lægges megen vægt på dansk musik”
Authors: Corfix Martin
Published: December 2023

Ved Genforeningen stod Krigsministeriet over for en udfordring: Den danske soldat skulle under stor bevågenhed vende tilbage til Sønderjylland i maj 1920 og blev formeret i Sønderjysk Kommando, der skulle afløse de engelske og franske  troppeafdelinger, der siden januar 1920 havde holdt Nordslesvig besat. De danske soldater og officerer i Sønderjysk Kommando var de første, der kom til Sønderjylland, og som sådan de første repræsentanter for det officielle Danmark før de egentlige genforeningsfestligheder den 10. juli. Chefen for Sønderjysk Kommando, oberst Carl C.F. Moltke, forudså, at dansk  militærmusik og sang ville blive en væsentlig faktor ved indtoget i de sønderjyske garnisoner.
Nordslesvig klædt i rødt og hvidt i 1920

Published: December 2023

Dannebrogsflaget spillede en central rolle for de danske nordslesvigere både ved afstemningen den 10. februar og  Genforeningsfesten på Dybbøl den 11. juli 1920. Siden 1864 havde det danske flag været forbudt, og den 10. februar 1920 kunne det for første gang i 56 år hejses officielt på danske flagstænger. Fem måneder senere udgjorde flaget en vigtig del af  festprogrammet ved den store nationale fejring på Dybbøl den 11. juli. Artiklen undersøger de forskellige udtryk, som Dannebrog  fik ved disse to begivenheder.
Marlowe in Sheets: Teaching Christopher Marlowe's Books through Digital Materiality
Authors: Bassett Andreas P.
Published: December 2023

The online resource Marlowe in Sheets, a sister project to Prof. Tara Lyons’ Shakespeare in Sheets, puts forth Marlowe’s works in a manner never offered before to students and scholars: the original printed but unfolded and uncut quartos and octavos from the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, reformatted and rebuilt into custom downloadable PDFs for academic and public use. Playing with digital reproductions of Marlowe’s widely studied works in their first printed form enriches the study of pre-modern literature by enabling users to navigate and engage critically with the fields of the history of the book, bibliography, and the history of reading. A strong focus on how readers first came across and interacted with early printed texts highlights the marked differences these unassembled works possess in terms of form and appearance compared to their modern-day equivalents, which are generally heavily edited, annotated, prefaced, equipped with reading aids and guides, and, most of all, ready-made.
A golden opportunity for South Africa to legislate on human heritable genome editing
Authors: Thaldar D W
Published: December 2023

Background. South Africa (SA) currently has a golden opportunity to legislate on human heritable genome editing (HHGE), as the country is revising its assisted reproductive technology regulations. A set of sub-regulations that deals with HHGE, which could seamlessly slot into the current regulations, has already been developed. The principles underlying the proposed set of sub-regulations are as follows: HHGE should be regulated to improve the lives of the people and should not be banned; the well-established standard of safety and efficacy should be used in the regulation of HHGE; quality of life is what matters, and not preserving a ‘normal’ genome; parents’ reproductive autonomy must be respected; and equality of access to approved HHGE technology should be promoted.
Objectives. To ascertain whether the proposed set of sub-regulations that deals with HHGE is aligned with public opinion in SA, and SA’s Bill of Rights.
Methods. Public opinion in SA is determined with reference to a deliberative public engagement study on HHGE conducted among South Africans, and the relevant rights in the Bill of Rights are interpreted with reference to recent case law.
Results. This proposed set of sub-regulations that deals with HHGE is aligned with public opinion in SA, and SA’s Bill of Rights.
Conclusion. Despite the legal and ethical complexities of HHGE, the proposed set of sub-regulations provides a targeted and effective legislative approach. They fit seamlessly into the country’s existing health law framework, creating specific legal standards for HHGE that align with both public opinion and the country’s Bill of Rights.

Published: December 2023

Se analizaron las principales prácticas de Intensificación Sostenible (IS) que realizan pequeños y medianos productores en la camaronicultura de Sinaloa, México. Se usó el enfoque de sostenibilidad, desde el establecimiento de la granja hasta la comercialización. El estudio muestra una limitada incorporación de las prácticas de IS y los principales factores limitantes son: el deficiente marco institucional y regulatorio, la ausencia de electricidad, baja adopción de tecnologías, ineficiente manejo y suministro de alimentos y uso excesivo de antibióticos. Este trabajo contribuye al reconocimiento de limitaciones en la adopción de la IS en la camaronicultura y al avance en la sostenibilidad de esta actividad.
La ruina kantiana: el derecho cosmopolita kantiano y los refugiados
Authors: Loewe Daniel
Published: December 2023

El artículo indaga la protección que ofrece el Derecho Cosmopolita kantiano en elcaso de los refugiados. Para ello, en primer lugar, se contrasta la protección queofrece este derecho con el que ofrecen los instrumentos del derecho internacional,especialmente la condición de non-refoulement. En segundo lugar, se analiza lainterpretación de la ‘ruina’ [Untergang] que ofrece Reinhardt en Migration undWelbürgerrecht, como condición del deber de no rechazar a aquel que se ofrece alcontacto. Se sostiene que esta interpretación basada en la personalidad moral ypsicológica, aunque amplia el tipo de casos que se podrían considerar comohabilitantes del refugio en comparación a la interpretación de ‘ruina’ que se basa encondiciones vitales, ofrece todavía un entendimiento limitado de los casos derefugio. En tercer lugar, el artículo se enfoca en la justificación del DerechoCosmopolita, y propone complementar la justificación propuesta por Reinhardt quese funda en el concepto de derecho y las condiciones de la existencia humana,especialmente en la necesidad de estar en algún lugar, mediante un análisis querefiere a la inevitabilidad del contacto y al derecho original a la libertad. Estosargumentos, se propone, ofrecen una justificación más robusta del DerechoCosmopolita kantiano. Finalmente, se muestra cómo, aunque limitado, el DerechoCosmopolita kantiano es extremadamente robusto y actual: él se encuentra enoposición a las prácticas tan comunes en la actualidad de desacoplamiento entre lasfronteras territoriales y las fronteras legales con el fin de impedir que los refugiadospuedan alcanzar la superficie de un Estado y así la opción de protección. Se proponeque este Derecho Cosmopolita es un complemento apropiado del entendimientocomún en el derecho internacional del derecho de los refugiados.

Kant and Jakob Facing Mendelssohn’s New Proof for the Existence of God: A Case of Misunderstanding
Authors: Rovira Rogelio
Published: December 2023

After an overview of Mendelssohn’s catalogue of proofs for the existence of God, a detailed analysis of his new and original proof from the imperfectness of our self-knowledge, set out in Morning Hours, is offered. Kant’s and his disciple Jakob’s criticisms are then stated. The former refers very briefly to the Mendelssohnian proof on two occasions. The latter, instead, scrutinises it thoroughly in his Examination of Mendelssohn’s Morning Hours. The main result of this confrontation is that Kant and Jakob fail to adequately assess the peculiarity and novelty of Mendelssohn’s proof since both thinkers interpret the proof as being based not so much on the imperfection of our self-knowledge as on the demands of our reason in thinking the possible and the actual.
