Effects of different advanced engineering materials on deformation behaviour of wood structural materials
Authors: Bardak Timucin
Published: October 2022

Wooden composites reinforced with advanced engineering materials are promising as building materials. The use of these materials has been increasing in recent years. It is important to understand the behaviour of their deformation under load for optimum design of composite materials. There is limited information about the deformation behaviour of wooden composites under different loads. In this study, strain and displacement distributions were measured for wood structural materials made with glass fibre, carbon fibre, oak (Quercus robur), and polyurethane resin. The digital image correlation method (DIC) was used for this purpose. Deformation behaviours were determined from the images recorded under specific loads in the bending test. There was an increase of 17.3% in bending strength of wood composites with the addition of glass fiber. The cracking process was visualized for different advanced engineering materials. The imagery clearly showed the development of the strain and displacement field. The deformation behaviours of reinforced and unreinforced wood composites were different. The strain distribution of wood composites significantly affected the strength properties.
Preparation and characterization of Camellia oleifera nut shell-based bioadsorbent and its application for heavy metals removal
Authors: Liu Yanxin , Li Xiangzhou , Wang Yulong , Zhou Jun , He Wanting
Published: October 2022

As a renewable agricultural solid waste, Camellia oleifera nut shell (CONS) is often discarded or burned, causing adverse environmental impact and a waste of resources. The purpose of this work was to develop a CONS-based bioadsorbent for the removal of heavy metals. Both CONS and ethanol/NaOH-modified CONS (MCONS) were prepared. The specimens were characterized using physiochemical composition, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The effects of pH, initial metal concentration, adsorbent dosage, adsorption time, and temperature on the Cr(VI) and Cu(II) removal were evaluated. The adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics were determined. The MCONS sample had a higher carboxyl group content and surface area than the CONS sample, which helped explain its enhanced adsorption performance of heavy metals. The maximum uptake capacity of Cr(VI) and Cu(II) was 16.39 mg/g and 27.26 mg/g for MCONS, compared with 6.34 mg/g and 9.89 mg/g for CONS. The adsorption kinetics for CONS and MCONS fit well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherms fit well to the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic analyses revealed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic.
Bio-Mimicry: Tree rings and three-dimensional printing – Preliminary biomimetic experiments with fused deposition modeling using acrylonitrile butadiene styrene filament
Authors: Aydin Murat , Yilmaz Aydin Tuğba
Published: October 2022

Wood is a complex, natural structure and an essential source of nutrition, construction and building materials, energy, etc. Because of its microscopic structure, it is difficult to model its composition. In this study, the bio-mimicry of annual rings of the wood was evaluated by modeling and printing four different models with different ring diameters. The CATIA v5 software was used for 3D modeling. The designed models were additively manufactured using a 3D printer via the fused deposition of the acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) filament. The infill density and type, shell, layer height, and printing speed were evaluated for their influence on the structure of the ring. According to the results of preliminary biomimetic experimental, none of the models were exactly printed using the FDM method and ABS filament. Furthermore, the printing parameters did not significantly improve ring structure formation. Only the earlywood section of Model 4 could be moderately printed. Therefore, using these tools with printing parameters and materials was not found to be suitable for bio-mimicry of tree rings even if the size of the rings was multiplied by ten. In future work, the same models will be printed using different methods and tools to evaluate the printing ability or differences.
Violence, Pregnant with Peace: Criminological Reading of Lars von Trier
Authors: Zaksaitė Salomėja
Published: October 2022

In this article, the works of cinema director Lars von Trier are invoked as an instrument to explain various criminological theories. Mostly, the approach of cultural criminology is applied as well as other perspectives: dramaturgical-existential approach, peacemaking, and (anti)positivism. Both because of the topics presented (such as transgressing and questioning the socially acceptable norms, violence, fear, humiliation, deviant sexuality, despair, etc.) and the methodology of the filmmaking process, the self-labelled ‘best director in the world’ can be quite rightly described as one of the most thought-provoking criminologists in Europe. Paradoxically, ideas presented in his films, though seemingly violent and destructive, might be inspirational for those who seek peace and enlightenment.
Contesting Ukrainian Nationhood: Literary Translation and the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict
Authors: Rudnytska Nataliya
Published: October 2022

The use of literary translations as an ideological weapon in the Cold War era has received considerable attention from translation scholars. However, the same tendency in today’s world remains underestimated, and research tends to be limited to political and media discourse. This paper examines the use of literary translations in the contemporary RF for contesting Ukrainian nationhood, fueling anti-Ukrainian sentiment and providing public support for the Russian military aggression against Ukraine. The research combines analysis of translated texts with examining factors that influence (non)translation and reception of works highlighting Russian-Ukrainian relations. The study focuses on translations of works by Taras Shevchenko, Nikolay Gogol and Oksana Zabuzhko and the Russian public debate concerning the role of literary translations in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
What Conceptual Metaphors Appear in Texts on Psychedelics and Medicine? Corpus-Based Cognitive Study
Authors: Bryła Milena
Published: October 2022

This paper aims to present conceptual metaphors employed to discuss psychedelics in texts published online by organizations popularizing knowledge about psychedelic substances. The foundation of this investigation comprises Cognitive Grammar, Conceptual Metaphor Theory, and Corpus Linguistics. A corpus of 160 texts on medical research, mental health, and therapy published in 2020 is built to enable quantitative and qualitative analysis. The investigation reveals the existence of the conceptual metaphors: psychedelic experience is a trip (a single experience that requires return and may involve adventurous, sacred, challenging aspects), psychedelic experience is a journey (a set of experiences (trips), integration process, and development, may involve healing), psychedelic substance is a tool / bridge / vehicle / agent providing access. The study of collocates of the word “psychedelic” also suggests the conceptualization of the psychedelic substances and/or experience as medicine in the analyzed corpus.

Numerical model for predicting and evaluating sand production in weakly consolidated reservoirs
Authors: Araujo  Guerrero Edson Felipe , Morales–Monsalve Cristhian Bernardo , Alzate Espinosa Guillermo Arturo , Arbelaez Londoño Alejandra
Published: October 2022

Sand production is a common phenomenon in oil and gas reservoirs, which occurs when reservoir fluids exert a sufficient drag force on reservoir rocks to erode the matrix. Numerical models for sand production have been used to understand the sanding mechanisms and forecast sand-production potential of formations to design well completion, optimize production, and prevent setbacks in future operations. This paper presents a mathematical model for defining the conditions of sanding onset as well as to predict and quantify the sand rate. We also introduce fluid-flow coupling and a geomechanical and sand-production model. By using the proposed model and a set of experimental data, sanding-related variables are analyzed, and a matching process for the simulated results and forecast analysis are performed. The results show that elastoplastic constitutive models are indispensable, and a clear relationship exists between the sanding and plastic strains.
A Review of Latent Space Models for Social Networks
Authors: Sosa Juan , Buitrago Lina
Published: October 2022

In this paper, we provide a review on both fundamentals of social networks and latent space modeling. The former discusses important topics related to network description, including vertex characteristics and network structure; whereas the latter articulates relevant advances in network modeling, including random graph models, generalized random graph models, exponential random graph models, and social space models. We discuss in detail several latent space models provided in literature, providing special attention to distance, class, and eigen models in the context of undirected, binary networks. In addition, we also examine empirically the behavior of these models in terms of prediction and goodness-of-fit using more than twenty popular datasets of the network literature.
Bahadur’s Stochastic Comparison of Combining infinitely Independent Tests in Case of Extreme Value Distribution
Authors: Al-Masri Abedel-Qader , Al-Momani Noor
Published: October 2022

For simple null hypothesis, given any non-parametric combination method which has a monotone increasing acceptance region, there exists a problem for which this method is most powerful against some alternative. Starting from this perspective and recasting each method of combining pvalues as a likelihood ratio test, we present theoretical results for some of the standard combiners which provide guidance about how a powerful combiner might be chosen in practice. In this paper we consider the problem of combining n independent tests as n → ∞ for testing a simple hypothesis in case of extreme value distribution (EV(θ,1)). We study the six free-distribution combination test producers namely; Fisher, logistic, sum of p-values, inverse normal, Tippett’s method and maximum of p-values. Moreover, we studying the behavior of these tests via the exact Bahadur slope. The limits of the ratios of every pair of these slopes are discussed as the parameter θ → 0 and θ → ∞. As θ → 0, the logistic procedure is better than all other methods, followed in decreasing order by the inverse normal, the sum of p-values, Fisher, maximum of p-values and Tippett’s procedure. Whereas, θ → ∞ the logistic and the sum of p-values procedures are equivalent and better than all other methods, followed in decreasing order by Fisher, the inverse normal, maximum of p-values and Tippett’s procedure.

Was macht Design-Based Research zu Forschung?
Authors: Reinmann Gabi
Published: October 2022

Vorläufiges Abstract:

Zunächst werde ich die zentralen Begriffe beziehungsweise Konzepte klären, die das Thema des Textes ausmachen: Ich stelle in aller Kürze die wichtigsten Charakteristika von DBR vor (Abschnitt 2.1) und beleuchte knapp Herkunft und Bedeutung des Begriffs Standard in der Wissenschaft (Abschnitt 2.2). Daran anschließend werden typische wissenschaftliche Standards erörtert, die ihre Wurzeln im Ideal naturwissenschaftlichen Forschens haben, oft aber disziplinübergreifend eingefordert werden (Abschnitt 3.1). Das führt nicht selten dazu, dass der Diskurs um Standards implizit oder explizit einen Streit um (Definitions-)Macht beinhaltet; exemplarisch lässt sich das an der Qualitativen Sozialforschung zeigen (Abschnitt 3.2). Ein Ausweg aus der typischen Streitspirale könnte die Unterscheidung von zwei Ebenen für die Bestimmung von Standards sein: eine Ebene, auf der man die Wissenschaftlichkeit eines Forschungsansatzes generell feststellt (Abschnitt 4.1), und eine Ebene, auf der man sicherstellt, dass ein Forschungsansatz seiner Spezifität, im Falle von DBR dem Design, gerecht wird (Abschnitt 4.2). Auf beiden Ebenen werde ich einige Vorschläge für DBR zur Diskussion stellen. Dabei bleiben allerdings Spannungsmomenten nicht aus: einerseits zwischen Research und Design, den beiden Begriffen, die DBR konstituieren und die sich in den beiden Ebenen spiegeln (Abschnitt 5.1), andererseits zwischen einzelnen Standards unabhängig von ihrer Ebenen-Zugehörigkeit (Abschnitt 5.2). Ein kurzer Ausblick schließt den Beitrag ab (Abschnitt 6).
Kommentar zu „Was macht Design-Based Research zu Forschung? Die Debatte um Standards und die vernachlässigte Rolle des Designs“ von Gabi Reinmann
Authors: Kerres Michael
Published: October 2022

Der Kommentar nimmt Stellung zu einem Beitrag von Gabi Reinmann über Qualitätskriterien des design-based research (DBR) in der Bildungsforschung. Er stellt "iterative Forschungsdesigns" infrage, die häufig als zentrales Merkmal von DBR betrachtet werden. Als charakteristisch  für  gestaltungsorientierte Bildungsforschung wird dagegen eine bestimmte Akteurskonstallation dargestellt, bei der Bildungsforschung und -praxis - vor dem Hintergrund ihrer eigenen Referenzsysteme - zusammenwirken, um ein lokales Bildungsanliegen mit einem allgemeinen Forschungsinteresse zu koppeln.

Pteronotus rubiginosus (Wagner, 1843) is a bat species belonging to the family Mormoopidae and has a wide distribution in the Amazon and Cerrado biomes in the Northern, Northeastern, and Central-Western regions of Brazil. In this study, we report the first record of this species from the state of Minas Gerais based on the capture of an individual using mistnets. With this record, we confirm the presence of P. rubiginosus in the Southeastern Region of Brazil, increasing to eight the number of chiropteran families there.
Large bandgap insulating superior clay nanosheets
Authors: Pacakova Barbara , Vullum Per Erik , Kirch Alexsandro , Breu Josef , Miranda Caetano Rodrigues , Fossum Jon Otto
Published: October 2022

One can find conductive, semiconducting, and insulating single nanosheets with unique electronic properties that are tied to their two-dimensional (2D) structure. Here, we report on wide-bandgap 2D insulator nanosheets obtained by delamination of a synthetic 2D fluorohectorite clay mineral showing one of the largest bandgap insulators in the world. The bandgap was determined experimentally to be up to 7.1–8.2 eV measured by electron energy-loss spectroscopy in a high-resolution transmission electron microscope. The experimental data were supported by DFT calculations giving a bandgap of 5.5 eV. The single fluorohectorite clay crystalline nanosheets are 0.95-nm, and they can be synthetized with high-aspect ratios and lateral dimensions up to dozens of microns. These properties render these nanosheets promising candidates for practical applications in manually assembled or self-assembled electronic heterostructures, potentially serving as insulating nanosheets in graphene or various (semi)conductive 2D material-based devices.

Impact statement

Properties of the synthetic fluorohectorite clay presented in this article render these 0.95-nm-thin nanosheets promising candidates for practical applications in manually assembled or self-assembled electronic heterostructures, potentially serving as insulating nanosheets in graphene or various (semi)conductive 2D material-based devices.

The information provided in this work can be essential for the growing community focused on the study of 2D materials and their wide range of applications.

The concept of power and its representation in television seriality. The case of «House of Cards»
Authors: López-Gutiérrez María-de-Lourdes , Flores-Ivich Laura-Georgina
Published: October 2022

To study how power is configured, this article analyzes the first and second seasons of the TV Series House of Cards. The behavior patterns of the main character, Frank Underwood, were tracked to analyze his foundations, the means used, the scope and the type of power he wields. The theoretical approaches of Dahl (1957) and French and Bertram (1959) were used for constructing a group of categories that served as a guide in the search for index units. Therefore, the methodology is based on units (Barthes, 1970) identified within the dialogues, the iconic composition, and the actions of the character. The results obtained reveal that in the first season argumentation as a means to exercise power predominates, and manipulation predominates in the second season. Also, the media repertoire is much broader in the first season when the main character builds the scenarios to achieve his goals. These findings contribute to the construction of a broader understanding of power and its exercise.
The SDGs in the EU Cultural Policies: an institutional communication perspective
Authors: Ferran-Vila Susanna , Miotto Giorgia , Rom-Rodríguez Josep
Published: October 2022

The main goal of this research is to analyze the experts’ opinions on cultural sustainability and the importance of sustainable development in the EU cultural policies. Besides, the research analyses how institutional communication may contribute to the introduction of the sustainable development, and, specifically, of the SDGs in the European Union cultural policies’ definition. In order to achieve these objectives, we share a survey with several experts in EU cultural policies. The experts’ conclusions show that the SDGs need to be explicitly included in the cultural policies, adding a more practical perspective through specific projects and action plans. Institutional communication is a strategic factor for the success of sustainable development in terms of cultural policies and cultural sustainability in the European Union.
Netflix in Web of Science: a bibliometric approach
Authors: Naranjo Adrià , Fernández-Ramírez Laura
Published: October 2022

Netflix has shaken up audiovisual industry, but what about academic research? This bibliometric analysis focuses on 210 papers indexed in Web of Science that address this issue. We examine the author, university of affiliation, language, journal, keywords, year of publication, citations received, and categories covered in WoS. We also conducted a quantitative analysis of abstracts and papers to identify the most recurrent methodologies, themes, and samples. Our results highlight a rise in Netflix studies in recent years and their tendency to analyse specific audiovisual works. There are many qualitative analysis of specific Netflix hits, but none of the shows particularly stands out. It also shows a rise in “Communication” and “Film, Radio & Television” papers (40% of them), although academic interest relies on Netflix corporate culture, business, and algorithm. These studies are mainly carried out using a qualitative methodology (83%). More than half of the articles focus on one of the Netflix series and, among them, the greatest interest lies in the representation of specific issues; gender, race and sexuality are present in 25% of the works in the sample (n=210). At the same time, among the 367 authors signing these research papers, the parity between men (51%) and women (49%) is almost absolute. It appears that the geographical and linguistic variety of papers is related to Netflix’s global expansion and that the sheer number of titles covered reveals a fleeting attention due to Netflix’s trademark: swift and concentrated consumption.
The role of cartoons on European generalist televisions between 2010 and 2020
Authors: Gómez-Bernal Gemma , García-Muñoz Núria , Delgado-Reina Matilde
Published: October 2022

Cartoons have been and still are a fundamental genre in children’s television programming and are a key product for the media industry due to their easy interpretation by children and their presence in distribution channels. This paper presents an analysis of the supply of children’s and cartoons broadcast over the last decade on 25 European general-interest television channels, both public and private, of Germany, Spain, France, Italy and the United Kingdom. The research findings focus on the genre programming strategies applied in terms of channels, broadcasting time slots and types of production in a multiplatform context driven by the consumption of digital content through streaming and SVOD services. The results show the continued leadership of cartoons in an environment of scarcity of children’s supply on European generalist television channels, reaffirming itself as a morning and weekend product highly shaped by commercial logics. However, distinctive programmatic policies are prominent in the role of public broadcasters in the supply of domestic products, both due to the broadcasting quotas of local cartoons and the consistency of their strategy over the period 2010-2020.
The right to be forgotten on the Internet for children and teenagers. A survey in Spain
Authors: Azurmendi Ana , Etayo-Pérez Cristina , Torrell-del-Pozo Angelina
Published: October 2022

The right to be forgotten is one of the hallmarks of privacy regulation on the Internet. The article explores the arguments advocating for a right to be forgotten specifically in cases regarding children, and examines whether minors see the need for such a right. In doing so, it addresses criticism that children’s rights studies often fail to consider the views of minors. The methodology adopted consists firstly of a literary review on children’s right to be forgotten. This work was complemented by a survey of 652 children and teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18, from all Spanish regions, which offered evidence of their views on the right to be forgotten.
The evolution and hybridization of reportage: characteristics of the genre in «La Vanguardia» and «ABC» (1982-2018)
Authors: Palau-Sampio Dolors , Cuartero Antonio
Published: October 2022

The article herein presents the results of a research study focused on the evolution of reportage in the Spanish press over a span of four decades. This is the first longitudinal study covering such an extensive period (1982-2018) with regard to this narrative journalistic genre, through publications in La Vanguardia and ABC, the two oldest national newspapers in Spain. The aim of the study is to discover how the genre has evolved in recent decades, in terms of authorship, length, section in which it is published, headlines, visual and complementary elements, and the degree of hybridisation with other journalistic genres. Based on a quantitative and qualitative methodology, a sample was analysed using the constructed week sampling technique (N=346 issues). The results obtained show an increase in the amount and general length of the reports published from the year 2000 onward, as well as a tendency toward hybridisation with genres such as the crónica and the news report. However, there is no evidence of a commitment to narrative aspects. The increase in pagination has been fostered by the incorporation of visual and design elements, while the Society section continues to have the highest share of reportage pieces. Most of the reportage items analysed were by-lined by one person, who were predominantly men, which suggests a gender gap in the authorship of prestigious journalistic genres.
La metafísica de la esperanza y del deseo en Gabriel Marcel
Authors: O'Callaghan Paul
Published: October 2022

La esperanza no [pertenece] a la agresividad ni de la certidumbre ni de la duda, en cuanto que la una como la otra hunden sus raíces en los recursos del propio yo, del "moi obturateur". La esperanza, al contrario, es una afirmación (intrépida, infantil), o una "assurance prophetique", que saca sus fuerzas de la comunión interpersonal. "Afirmación" es el término que emplea Marcel preferentemente para referirse al mundo del ser, del misterio, o —como en este caso— de la esperanza.

Within medieval women's literature it is worthwhile mentioning the poetess Hrotsvit (10th c.), Hildegard of Bingen (12th c.) and, in the 13th century the nuns of the monastery of Helfta: Mechthild of Hackeborn, Gertrude the Great and Mechthild of Magdeburg. Although the motives for writing were diverse, their works express a rich content and literary quality.
Doctrina de la condición femenina en el siglo XII
Authors: Saranyana Josep-Ignasi
Published: October 2022

The theologians of first scholastic generation (12th century) gave an allegorical interpretation to the passages of woman as found in Genesis (ch. 2 and 3) and I Corinthians (ch. 11 and 14). The source for such an interpretation was the psychological binary of Philo as reflected in the works of Origen, St. Ambrose and St. Augustine: vir symbolizes ratio speculativa and mulier, ratio practica, or cogitativa, or the sensual appetite. Furthermore, each individual man or woman possesses his or her own vir-mulier binary. The silence of women in church as well as the use of the veil refer to mulier (not woman), that is, the practical reason, cogitativa, or the sensuality.
Causalidad y entendimiento agente
Authors: Martin James T.
Published: October 2022

The question of the causality exercised by active mind cannot be dismissed as an attempt to go beyond what Aristotle explicitly says. One cannot say that Aristotle proves the existence of active mind but leaves the kind of causality it exercises an open question. Rather, if one accepts that Aristotle proves the existence of active mind, one must have an answer for the kind of causality it exercises. The analysis of De Anima, 3.5 shows that the principle on which the argument for the existence of active mind rests cannot be read as arguing coherently for the existence of active mind as an efficient cause, but that the text is open to an interpretation along the lines of final causality.

Esperanza y desesperanza de la razón en Kant
Authors: Grimaldi Nicolás

The author seeks to establish the strict validity of the composition of the Critique of Judgement and how the analysis of the aesthetic judgement pre-pares for the understanding of the teleological judgement. He shows how the Critique of Judgement, specially the statutes on art, resolves the opposition between nature and the spirit, the need of liberty, mechanical causality and finality that the first two Critiques had left unsolved.

Naturaleza de las ideas innatas cartesianas
Authors: Corazón Rafael
Published: October 2022

Innate ideas are not objective ideas which have ceased to be doubtful. They are not ideas of attributes or modes but rather true realities. Therefore, they are simple, clear, and distinct. These ideas are not possible to analyze. Innate ideas are not conceived when thinking of "something" but when the real world is felt. Therefore, they correspond with objective ideas.
Razón e historia. La modernidad del postmodernismo
Authors: Koslowski Peter
Published: October 2022

The paper distinguishes between a free form of modernity and an ideological form of modernity, whereby the latter can also be called modernism. Free modernity aims at realising the modern, i.e. that which responds to the needs of the present and realises what corresponds to the state-of-the-art. Modernism as an ideology, however, believes in "the" ultimate modernism, in one final modern age of reason. The modernist Hegelian and Marxist philosophies of history and of dialectical metaphysics have come to an end. It demonstrates that we are living in a post-modern age that gives a new freedom for the Christian interpretation of history and for the theological and personalist form of metaphysics.
Algunas presuposiciones metafísicas de la acción humana
Authors: Haldane John
Published: October 2022

In opposition to compatibilism, it is argued that the thesis of universal causal determinism is at odds with the idea of free action. Free agency involves liberty of indifference –that is to say the non-determination of action by antecedent events–. Action issues from habitual behavioural tendencies; but this relation is neither deterministic nor random: it is one of propensity, in this case conditioned by practical rationality. In general, specifying reasons for action is not identifying antecedent causes but describing the intentional content of action –saying what kind of behaviour it is–. Practical reasons directs the agent's behaviour towards ends conceived of as good; it is further question whether, as Plato suggest, the end of action, standardly, is a, or the, good.

Política y autonomía de lo social
Authors: Cruz Prados Alfredo
Published: October 2022

A critique of the modern concept of the autonomy of the social sphere with respect to the political, as well as the strict separation between society and the state is elaborated. On the basis of Millán-Puelles' work, the subsidiarity of the public and the socialness of the private is seen as the only escape from the conflict between collectivism and individualism and its feed-back mechanism.

Vivir y habitar en la ciudad
Authors: Bastons Miquel
Published: October 2022

This article is a reflection on human habitat taking-off from a sentence by Millán Puelles: "Animals do not have problems with shelter, human beings do". A manner of overcoming the "philosophy of uprootment", apparently supported by the crisis of the city, is proposed. Such a crisis responds to two errors latent in the conception of human space. The first one is to be found in the notion of space in use; the second, in the wrong usage of the means-end model in the relationship between spatial organization and human habitat. The solution to such a crisis lies in the recognition that spatial organization (habitat) above all consists in the construction of modes of living.
El «ens rationis», un caso de objeto puro

The main concern of this paper is to analize the paradoxes of selfdetermination. They stem from the properties of the self and from human sciences. They also allow us to underline several features of self-determination, such as the tendency, the inexpressibility, the freedom of the will or the duality self-control and motivational strength.
Privatización y comunidad del bien humano. El liberalismo deontológico y la respuesta realista
Authors: Massini Correas Carlos Ignacio
Published: October 2022

The author exposes the doctrine of "Deontologic Liberalism" which is described, mainly, by J. Rawls, specially about the "privatization" that he makes of the human good and the consequent founding of the moral duties in a "public agreement". Then, he compares that to the doctrine of Millán-Puelles about the comunity and the objectivity of the human good, as well as of the founding of Ethics in the human nature and, finally, in the transcendent Absolute.
La responsabilidad del artista. En torno a las relaciones de arte y moral
Authors: Peña Vial Jorge
Published: October 2022

Millán-Puelles and Maritain suitably delimited the fields of ethics and art, doing what justice; self-determination of art and dignity of man demanded. Nevertheless, our reverence for the autonomy of art and dignity of man should neither lead us to declare the latter innocent nor to free it from all responsibility. This is what George Steiner strongly states. The followers of absolute freedom seem not to realize the deep impact the work of art exercises upon the reader. Censorship is far more complex and intricate than champions of absolute freedom believe. At any rate, such a responsibility is no concern of the State but rather of the social community, specially the family and what has been called "the tribe". The art critic must assume his responsibility not only on what refers to aesthetic aspects; he must do so on what refers to the concept of man that springs from the work of art he analizes.

La ética del intelecto: Un acercamiento peirceano
Authors: Haack Susan
Published: October 2022

A genuine inquirer seeks the truth; pseudo-inquirers, to make a case for some proposition determined in advance: the sham reasoner, for some proposition his commitment to which is already evident; the fake reasoner, for some proposition to the truth-value of which he is indifferent, but advancing which he believes will benefit himself. Our preposterous environment, in which "everyone shall produce written research in order to live, and it shall be decreed a knowledge explosion" (Barzun) hinders genuine inquiry, encourages the sham and the fake. It has encouraged the factitious despair of the possibility of honest inquiry articulated in much recent philosophy.
