Freedom, Intentionality, and Trinitarian Love in Edith Stein’s Thought—The Need for a Phenomenology–Theology Dialogue to Have a Deeper Understanding of It
Authors: Bello Haddy
Published: November 2023

The school of phenomenology went with Edith Stein all her life and became one of the guiding strings of her thought, which deepens more and more on the experience of the crucified. The Steinian idea of freedom starts from philosophy. However, it is intimately crossed by the theological (and mystical) question, since, for the author, the historical realization of the human life is possible when it participates in the divine life because God configures his own life in perfect freedom. The basic idea in Stein’s proposal on human freedom is the self-configuration of oneself in the divine image. On the other hand, when Stein asks herself, “What is freedom?” she answers, “It means the same as this: I can”. What does this answer mean? In order to understand the comprehensiveness of Ich kann and its relation to self-configuration, it is necessary to realize the foundations that support this “I can”. Therefore, the present study will consider the two essential points of support for it: the phenomenological concept of intentionality (Intentionalität), proper to Brentano’s thought and inherited from Husserl, and the human experience of the phenomenon of divine love.
How Did Urban Environmental Characteristics Influence Land Surface Temperature in Hong Kong from 2017 to 2022? Evidence from Remote Sensing and Land Use Data
Authors: Wu Zherong , Zhang Xinyang , Ma Peifeng , Kwan Mei-Po , Liu Yang
Published: November 2023

Urbanization has led to environmental challenges, with the urban heat island effect being a prominent concern. Understanding the influence of urban environmental characteristics (UECs) on land surface temperature (LST) is essential for addressing this issue and promoting sustainable urban development. The spatiotemporal characteristics and influencing factors of LST have been investigated in past studies, but research that explicitly investigates the key factors and long-term spatial relationships affecting LST in city-scale urban areas is limited. Remote sensing techniques provide valuable insights into LST patterns and the relationship between urban environment and temperature dynamics. We utilized Landsat 8 images to derive the LST and six spectral indices from 2017 to 2022 in Hong Kong, a city characterized by high population density and rapid urban growth. We also acquired land use data to reflect Hong Kong’s dynamic urban landscape. The complex interactions between urban environment and LST were analyzed using various analytical techniques, including slope trend analysis, land use change detection, and correlation analysis. Finally, we constructed a random forest model to assess the importance of each environmental characteristic. Our findings provide three key insights for regions experiencing rapid urbanization. First, the LST showed an increasing trend in Hong Kong from 2017 to 2022, with the annual LST rising from 21.13 °C to 23.46 °C. Second, we identify negative relationships between LST and vegetation (−0.49)/water bodies (−0.49) and a positive correlation between LST and built-up areas (0.56) utilizing Pearson’s correlation. Third, the dominant influence of built-up areas was underscored, contributing as much as 53.4% to elevated LST levels, with specific attention to the substantial reclamation activities in Hong Kong. The insights from this study provide valuable guidance for policymakers, urban planners, and environmental researchers to formulate evidence-based strategies to achieve a resilient, livable urban future.

Authors: Al-Jabr Hiyam , Windle Karen , Clifton Andrew , Thompson David R , Castle David J , Ski Chantal F
Published: November 2023

Background

Long COVID (LC) symptoms persist 12 weeks or more beyond the acute infection. To date, no standardised diagnostic or treatment pathways exist. However, a holistic approach has been recommended. This study explored participants’ experiences of a Long COVID–Optimal Health Programme (LC–OHP); a psychoeducational self-efficacy programme.

Aim

To explore perceptions and experiences of people with LC regarding the LC-OHP and identify suggestions to further improve the programme.

Design & setting

Qualitative study with patients with LC recruited through community settings.

Method

This study is part of a wider randomised controlled trial. Eligible participants were aged ≥18 years, have LC, and attended a minimum of five LC–OHP sessions plus a booster session. We interviewed those randomised to the intervention group. Interviews were conducted by an independent researcher and thematically analysed to identify common, emerging themes.

Results

Eleven participants were interviewed, mostly women from a White British ethnic group (n= 10). Four main themes were identified, reflecting programme benefits and suggestions for improvement. The programme demonstrated potential for assisting patients in managing their LC, including physical health and mental wellbeing. Participants found the programme to be flexible and provided suggestions to adapting it for future users.

Conclusion

Findings support the acceptability of the LC–OHP to people living with LC. The programme has shown several benefits in supporting physical health and mental wellbeing. Suggestions made to further adapt the programme and improve its delivery will be considered for future trials.

La galère : Jeunes en survie
Authors: Dubet François
Published: November 2023

Cet ouvrage repose sur des entretiens approfondis entre des groupes de jeunes de quartiers difficiles (à Seraing, Venissieux, Orly, Sartrouville, Champigny et Clichy) et des équipes de sociologues et d’intervenants sociaux. Il analyse de façon assez sombre l'univers de galère de ces jeunes.

Le passage, extrait du chapitre XVI, que nous reproduisons ici avec l'aimable autorisation de l’éditeur, traite plus précisément des jeunes issus de l'immigration dans le cadre de la cité des Minguettes à Venissieux et introduit une note plus positive. Les jeunes immigrés, s'ils sont plus enfoncés dans la galère que les jeunes Français, manifestent par ailleurs de plus grandes capacités de renverser les logiques de celle-ci. Quant au racisme il semble absent des relations entre les jeunes eux-mêmes.

Penser l’échec comme événement, penser l’immigration comme histoire
Authors: Charlot Bernard
Published: November 2023

La notion de handicap socioculturel, au centre des débats dans les années 70, réduit trop l’individu au groupe et les rapports sociaux à des rapports spaciaux.

De même l’idée d’enfant biculturel enferme l’enfant d’immigrés dans des catégories figées.

Plus encore que celle des autres enfants, la scolarité des enfants d’immigrés doit être pensée en termes de processus, de trajectoires, comme une expérience personnelle et sociale qui a une histoire.

Répondre aux attentes des familles sans déplaire à l’école, répondre aux exigences des enseignants tout en méritant la confiance des familles, tel est le dilemme devant lequel sont placés les animateurs AEPS. Pour tenter de dépasser ce conflit parents-école, les animateurs se trouvent souvent conduits à adhérer à la conception, véhiculée par bien des établissements, des «familles handicapées. » Situation paradoxale, qui, en faisant des familles des «objets d'éducation », les éloigne d’autant plus de l'école et de leur possible transformation en sujets, acteurs du partenariat.

Les Antillais, la citoyenneté et l’école : les conditions de l'intégration
Authors: Galap Jean
Published: November 2023

L’échec scolaire des enfants antillais en Métropole, en dehors des facteurs liés à l'origine sociale, a deux causes essentielles : la mauvaise connaissance que le système éducatif a de cette population et une totale inorganisation communautaire qui ne permet pas à la famille de transmettre à l'enfant une image de soi positive et équilibrante.

La reconnaissance de l'identité de l’enfant antillais, dans un contexte ouvert et évolutif, n'est pas en contradiction avec le modèle républicain d’intégration.

A não adesão aos serviços de atenção básica pelo público masculino
Authors: Lima Andressa Kelly de Santos , Helfstein Douglas Rodrigues
Published: November 2023

É notável a disparidade no uso dos serviços de saúde entre homens e mulheres, sendo que os homens frequentam menos os níveis primários de atendimento em comparação com o público feminino. Esse padrão muitas vezes leva a um aumento na demanda por cuidados nos níveis secundário e terciário, uma vez que os homens tendem a procurar ajuda somente quando as doenças já estão em estágios mais avançados. As razões por trás dessa relutância masculina ainda carecem de uma compreensão completa, embora seja evidente a alta taxa de morbimortalidade entre os homens. Com o objetivo de abordar essa questão e combater esse problema, o Ministério da Saúde implementou a Política Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde do Homem. Essa iniciativa visa integrar os homens aos serviços de atenção primária, concentrando-se na promoção e prevenção da saúde, educando esse público sobre as doenças de maior incidência em homens. A execução efetiva dessa política é atribuída aos enfermeiros das unidades de saúde, que têm a responsabilidade de realizar uma busca ativa pelos homens na comunidade. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos homens ao buscar atendimento de saúde e explorar as principais barreiras que eles encontram. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo descritiva e exploratória, com abordagem quantitativa, realizada em uma Unidade de Pronto Atendimento no litoral norte de São Paulo. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de questionários contendo perguntas abertas e fechadas, e a análise dos dados foi realizada por meio de gráficos e tabelas. Após uma análise minuciosa e estratificação dos dados encontrados, foi possível concluir que a principal razão para a baixa adesão dos homens aos serviços de atenção primária é a percepção de que não estão doentes, seguidamente pela falta de disponibilidade de tempo. Cabe ao enfermeiro encarregado da unidade de saúde a implementação eficaz da Política Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde do Homem, incluindo a busca ativa desse público masculino, promovendo a adesão aos serviços de saúde na atenção básica.

Authors: Savari Hadi , Roohi Ghanbar , Sabzi Zahra , Mehravar Fatemeh
Published: November 2023

Background and aims: Aging is one of the life stages of all human beings, but people’s understanding of this issue is highly different. This study aimed to determine the association between the perception of aging and hope in older people. Methods: Using stratified random sampling, this cross-sectional study was performed on 300 older people referring to Gorgan’s comprehensive urban health service centers from 2021 to 2022. The Aging Perceptions Questionnaire and Schneider’s Hope Questionnaire were completed by older people. The Pearson correlation coefficient was estimated finally. Results: The mean total hope score in older women and men was 39.78±5.61 and 40.93±5.58, respectively. There is no statistically significant relationship between the total hope score and understanding of aging. The highest negative correlation was related to the emotional representation subscale of perception of aging with a total hope score (r=-0.42, P<0.0001). The aging perception score was higher in older people whose number of children was less than equal to 3. In addition, the total hope score was better in older people who lived with their spouses and had a higher education, housing, and better economic status. Conclusion: In this study, the perceptions of aging and hope in older people had a high level. Although overall hope was not related to perceptions of aging, hope was associated with the emotional representation subscale of perception of aging.

Published: November 2023

Background and aims: COVID-19 is undoubtedly underestimated in the South Kivu region due to the inaccessibility of reference diagnostic tests. In this context, serological tests could help estimate the disease’s circulation. This study analyzed the dynamics in the SARS-CoV-2 antibodies seroprevalence in Bukavu, East of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Methods: The results of SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests performed in 2020 (n=1100), 2021 (n=508), and 2022-2023 (n=246) in 4 clinics in Bukavu underwent analysis. Any subject, regardless of age, gender, and origin, was eligible for voluntary SARS-CoV-2 antibody screening. The screening was performed to determine the immune status for professional reasons or clinical clarification in symptomatic subjects. For this purpose, 4 mL of blood was obtained from an antecubital venipuncture for biological analysis. The data were also collected anonymously and confidentially. These rapid lateral flow immunoassays (Cellex qSARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin G/M [IgG/IgM], and QuickZen COVID-19 IgM/IgG) detected and differentiated SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in volunteer workers and patients. Results: Between 2020 and 2023, the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (IgG+and IgM+) increased from 37.9% to 65.4% (P<0.0001). Early exposure to SARS-CoV-2 (IgM+/IgG-) increased significantly from 5.1% in 2020 to 11.4% in 2021, while it decreased significantly from 11.4% in 2021 to 4.5% in 2022-2023 (P<0.0001). Full immunization (IgM-/IgG+) increased from 2.5% in 2020 to 34.1% in 2022-2023. Age between 40 and 59 years (adjusted OR [95% CI]: 1.6 [1.3-2.1], P<0.0001) and≥60 years (adjusted OR [95% CI]: 1.6 [1.2-2.1], P=0.001), as well as exposure periods 2021 (adjusted OR [95% CI]: 2.0 [1.6-2.5], P<0.0001) and especially 2022-2023 (adjusted OR [95% CI]: 3.4 [2.5-4.7], P<0.0001) remained independent predictors of SARS-CoV-2 antibody seroprevalence. Conclusion: The findings of the present study demonstrated extremely high exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and full immunization of a significant proportion of the screened subjects. These results would explain the marginalization of new waves of COVID-19 in Bukavu despite low access to vaccination.
Repeated electroporation enhances the responsiveness to cisplatin-based intra-tumoral chemotherapy in murine breast cancer: revival of the electro-chemotherapy concept

Published: November 2023

Background and aims: Electroporation demonstrated certain modulable actions on tumoral cell membrane permeability to increase the intracellular bioavailability of chemotherapeutic drugs. The current in vivo study aimed to investigate the synergic effect of concomitant electroporation application to the intratumoral administration of cisplatin on murine invasive ductal adenocarcinoma breast cancer. Methods: The fragments of the extracted tumor were implanted subcutaneously in healthy female Balb/C mice. Having reached the determined tumoral volume, the mice were randomly divided into five groups, including control, intratumoral cisplatin injection, tumoral electroporation application, electrochemotherapy (ECT), and double course ECT. The normalized tumoral volume and the inhibition ratios were calculated during a 30-day follow-up period. The data were tested by ANONA, and a statistically significant level was set at P<0.05. Results: The inhibition ratio was significantly different between the intra-tumoral cisplatin administration and tumoral electroporation application groups compared to the control group (P<0.05). ECT displayed superior results in comparison to the two later groups (P<0.05). The double-course ECT group even represented a significant difference compared to the ECT group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Concomitant ECT to the cisplatin intratumoral administration indicated contributive anti-tumoral impacts in an in vivo murine model of invasive ductal adenocarcinoma breast cancer. ECT promises further applications to overcome the occurrence of therapeutic resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs.

Authors: Babaeinejad Mostafa , Matinhomaee Hasan , Fatolahi Hoseyn
Published: November 2023

Background and aims: Fatty diet can affect the expression of myokines. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of aerobic and resistance training secreted protein acidic rich in cysteine (SPARC), decorin (DCN), and myonectin muscle gene expression in rats fed with a high-fat diet. Methods: In this experimental study, 32 rats were randomly divided into healthy control, obese control, obese+aerobic exercise, and obese+resistance exercise groups. The training program was implemented for 4 weeks at aerobic moderate intensity (50% VO2max in the first week and 65% VO2max in the last week). For resistance training, the animals were also trained to climb the ladder (height 110 cm, slope 80%, and the distance between the bars of the ladder 2 cm), which is based on the determination of one-repetition maximum (1RM). Obese rats received a dose of 0.5 mL/100 g of body weight orally by gavage for 4 weeks and 5 days a week. Results: There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of DCN expressions (P=0.702). However, the expression of SPARC (P=0.039) and myonectin in the obese control group was significantly increased compared to the healthy control (P=0.038). The expression of SPARC and myonectin in the aerobic training group (P=0.038, P=0.042) and the resistance training group (P=0.048, P=0.049) was significantly decreased in comparison to obesity control. Resistance training caused a greater decrease in myonectin compared to aerobic training (P=0.049). Conclusion: The findings revealed that aerobic and resistance exercises are effective in reducing SPARC and myonectin expression in the skeletal muscle of rats fed with a high-fat diet.
Unsupervised Physics-Informed Health Indicator Estimation for Complex Systems
Authors: Bajarunas Kristupas , Baptista Marcia , Goebel Kai , Chao Manuel Arias
Published: November 2023

Developing Health Indicators (HI) is a crucial aspect of prognostics and health management of complex systems. Previous research has demonstrated the benefits of accurately determining the HI, which can lead to better performance of prognostic models. However, the existing methodologies for determining HI in complex systems are mostly semi-supervised and rely on assumptions that may not hold in real-world scenarios. The existing methods usually involve using a reference set of healthy sensor readings or run-to-failure data to infer HI. But the unsupervised inference of HI from sensor readings, which is challenging in scenarios where diverse operating conditions can mask the effect of degradation on sensor readings, has not been extensively researched. In this paper, we propose a novel physics-informed unsupervised model for determining HI. Unlike previous methods, constrained by assumptions, the proposed method uses prior general knowledge about degradation to infer HI, thereby eliminating the need for a reference set of healthy sensor readings. The proposed unsupervised model is an Autoencoder that incorporates constraints on its latent space to ensure consistency with knowledge about degradation. We assess the efficacy of the proposed model by analyzing a prevalent prognostic case study, specifically the turbofan engine dataset (N-CMAPSS). Our analysis considers the model's sensitivity to data availability and the resulting Health Index's quality, including trendability and monotonicity. Additionally, we investigate the impact of incorporating the Health Index in predicting Remaining Useful Life (RUL). We demonstrate that our proposed method generates a Health Index that exhibits greater monotonicity and trendability than the current state-of-the-art semi-supervised approach. Moreover, our approach for identifying the Health Index leads to enhanced prognostic performance compared to the existing semi-supervised approach.
Differentiable Short-Time Fourier Transform Window Length Selection Driven by Cyclo-Stationarity
Authors: Marx Douw , Gryllias Konstantinos
Published: November 2023

The Short-Time Fourier transform is widely applied in the condition monitoring of rotating machinery. Even so, selecting the optimal window length for the Short-Time Fourier Transform remains a challenge. This work presents a procedure for adapting the Short Time Fourier Transform algorithm to be differentiable with respect to window length by using continuous window functions defined over the entire input signal duration. Thanks to this modification, a differentiable loss criterion can be defined to measure the Short-Time Fourier quality, and the gradient of the loss criterion with respect to window length can be computed. The optimal window length for a given loss criterion can then be efficiently solved for using a gradient-based optimization algorithm. Results from a simulated bearing dataset and three experimental bearing datasets are used to compare the optimal spectrograms obtained using different loss criteria. Specifically, a sparsity-based loss criterion is compared with two loss criteria inspired by the characteristic cyclo-stationarity machine of faults in rotating machinery. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the differentiable window length selection method and highlight the importance of selecting appropriate loss criteria for defining STFT quality. Loss criteria that account for the cyclo-stationary nature of the signals are shown to be less likely to target single high-amplitude impulsive events compared to the sparsity-based loss criterion.

Authors: Ostanina D. A. , Fulova A. M. , Mitronin Yu. A. , Mitronin A. V.
Published: November 2023

Diagnosis and treatment of pulp disease is one of the leading and widespread problems in dentistry. Clinicians are often faced with a dilemma when treating vital teeth with deep carious lesions and the development of reversible inflammation in the pulp tissue: whether to perform minimally invasive treatment to maintain pulp viability or to perform vital extirpation to prevent pulp necrosis, its further infection and prevention of apical periodontitis. To date, researchers and clinicians report that clinical recovery of the pulp with viable new bioactive materials is observed in 90% of cases provided that the inflammatory process in the pulp is diagnosed in the stage of reversibility. This article presents a clinical case of initial pulpitis treatment of teeth 1.5, 1.6 with the pulp-preserving method: direct pulp capping with bioactive cement Biodentine (Septodont). In the dynamics of observation after 1, 6, 12, 18 months teeth were asymptomatic and a favorable prognosis of the therapy was observed.

Pemaparan ikan ditempat terbuka dapat meningkatkan pembentukan histamin serta mempengaruhi kenampakan kesegaran daging ikan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perubahan kandungan histamin dan nilai organoleptik ikan cakalang segar yang telah mengalami pemaparan udara di tempat terbuka dengan variasi waktu pemaparan yang berbeda. Sampel ikan cakalang segar diperoleh dari Pasar Lingkar Timur Sidoarjo. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di BKIPM (Balai Karantina Ikan dan Pengendalian Mutu Keamanan Hasil Perikanan Surabaya II) pada bulan Desember sampai dengan Juni 2019. Sampel dianalisis menggunakan metode HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography). Hasil dari penelitian ini didapatkan kadar histamin pada ikan cakalang yang dipapar pada suhu 28 °C - 32 °C dengan variasi waktu pemaparan selama 0 jam sampai dengan 8 jam mengandung histamin 3,001 mg/kg, 3,110 mg/kg, 4,954 mg/kg, 5,229 mg/kg, dan 5,435 mg/kg. Data hasil penelitian dianalisa menggunakan uji ANOVA dilanjutkan dengan uji post hoc sehingga didapatkan hasil bahwa terdapat perbedaan kadar histamin pada ikan cakalang yang diberikan pemaparan udara dengan ikan cakalang tanpa pemaparan udara
