An Analysis of the Obligations of COMESA Public Procurement Regulations: The Case of Zimbabwe’s Public Procurement Regulatory Framework
Authors: Panganayi Freedom
Published: April 2024

With the coming into force of the new Constitution in 2013, public procurement was given a constitutional status in Zimbabwe. The Constitution sets out vital principles that public procurement legislation must comply with. Moreover, it is a requirement of the Constitution that the governance of Zimbabwe must be pursued in accordance with Zimbabwe’s international law obligations. Zimbabwe is a founding member of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). To accelerate interstate trade, COMESA promulgated Public Procurement Regulations (PPR) for regional competitive bidding across member states. The viability of the regional trade agreements is hinged on mutual cooperation. Pursuant to the foregoing, member states are required to domesticate international agreements into their municipal laws. In 2017, the Zimbabwean legislature passed the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act 5 to give effect to the provisions of section 315(1) of the Constitution (Amendment No. 20), 2013. The public procurement reform agenda in Zimbabwe occurred close to a decade after the adoption of the public procurement regulations by COMESA in 2009. This article explores the obligations imposed on Zimbabwe pursuant to the public procurement regulations. This is done by identifying the public procurement principles enumerated in public procurement regulations, which are binding on member states. This article endeavours to answer the question: To what extent does the Zimbabwean legal framework conform to public procurement regulations? This article notes that the legal framework underlying public procurement in Zimbabwe, by and large, conforms to the bar set in the public procurement regulations. Nonetheless, it highlights Zimbabwe’s public procurement shortcomings. The article concludes by making possible legislative recommendations.
Pengaruh Konsentrasi NaOH dan Suhu Delignifikasi pada Kandungan Lignoselulosa Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit

Published: April 2024

Palm oil processing in the industry produces products and waste; the waste generated from the palm oil processing process will have a negative impact on the environment if it is not processed. Oil palm empty fruit bunches are lignocellulosic solid wastes that contain cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose content, so they have the potential to be raw materials for making bioethanol. In the process of producing bioethanol, delignification is an early stage that aims to reduce the lignin content in lignocellulosic materials with alkaline or alkaline pretreatment solutions such as the use of NaOH can be used to help separate lignin from cellulose fibers. This study aimed to analyze the effect of NaOH concentration and delignification temperature on the lignocellulosic content of oil palm empty fruit bunches. The research method was arranged descriptively with two treatments: the concentration of NaOH consisting of 3%, 4%, and 5%, and the heating temperature consisting of 100 oC, 110 oC, and 120 oC. Lignocellulosic content can be calculated using the Chesson method analysis with the Microsoft Excel 2016 application as a data processor. The results showed that 1 M NaOH concentration with heating temperature had an effect on the observations of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin. The best treatment of 1 M NaOH concentration and heating temperature on hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin was produced by the treatment of 5% NaOH concentration with a heating temperature of 120 0C.

Authors: Naaz Saima , Adil Mohammad , Amin Syed Suhail , Ahmed Murad
Published: April 2024

Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) is a broad entity comprising wide range of hereditary and acquired disorders. Herein, we present a case of 18-year-old female who presented with complaints of palmoplantar thickening since birth and progressive constriction bands around digits for 3 years. On examination, diffuse transgradient honeycomb type of PPK was present. Fibrous constriction bands (pseudoainhum) were present circumferentially around the distal interphalangeal joint of fifth finger and metatarsophalangeal joint of fifth toe bilaterally. Punch biopsy from palms revealed hyperkeratotic, stratified squamous epithelium with vacuolar degeneration and prominent keratohyaline granules. Audiogram was normal. On the basis of history, clinical examination and investigations, a diagnosis of Camisa syndrome was made and the patient was started on oral retinoids. We also discussed case findings of Camisa Syndrome reported in Asian population.

This report presents the first intellectual output (IO1) of the Open School Doors project. IO1 has been jointly produced by the whole project consortium. It summarizes the national policies and initiatives among the partnership concerning the parental engagement / involvement of migrant / refugee parents toward school life. To this end literature resources have been collected and then analysed, with the following aims: a) Profile the target group per country, i.e. outline what is the main audience, its specific cultural characteristics (if any), what has to be taken into consideration for the design of a Training Framework that will match both their learning and cultural needs, etc. b) Elaborate on certain cases of successful parental engagement / involvement, i.e. mainly EU, nationally or locally funded projects. The rationale behind the intensive search of such cases was to identify practices that really work but not to ‘reinvent the wheel’, and have a valid starting point for Open Schools Doors (OSD) Training Framework ‐ no doubt that the amplitude and variety of such programs are good indicators of each country policy and posture towards social inclusion and provision of equal opportunities to education. c) Identify the gaps in the current situation among the participant countries and design a Training Framework that will actively facilitate parents’ engagement / involvement to school life in a tangible and long‐term manner. Methodically authors started with desk research and apart from that empirical data was collected from focus groups which were organized with the view to validating what was theoretically concluded from literature resources by asking the main target audience of the project about the Training Framework specifications and features. To this end the last section summarizes findings of both theoretical research and focus groups, providing thus an overview of what is needed and on which directions OSD didactic approach should focus.

Authors: Kurzah Muhammad Yusril Ihza , Nurhayati Nurhayati , Yulianto Eko
Published: April 2024

The study of watershed morphology and land use patterns significantly affects hydrological processes and runoff coefficients, highlighting the quantitative nature of watershed characteristics. The Raya Watershed in West Kalimantan influences local communities and aims to enhance understanding of its physical attributes and hydrological dynamics through detailed analysis of topography, soil composition, land use, and river networks. Findings inform watershed management and conservation strategies. The analysis of the Raya Watershed, spanning 29,982.96 hectares (87.34% of total area) with elevations below 100 meters, reveals flat terrain vulnerable to flooding, particularly in low-lying or sea-level regions, exacerbated by limited natural drainage. Lower elevations support crucial wetland and floodplain ecosystems. Hydrological disruptions from land use changes and climate fluctuations can harm biodiversity and water quality. Effective land use planning is vital to address flood risk and environmental concerns, mitigating impacts like property damage and population displacement. Soil-type mapping informs conservation efforts, ensuring ecosystem resilience. Sustainable land management practices, guided by watershed characteristics like drain density and stream frequency, are essential to mitigate biodiversity loss and ecological imbalances.
Diarrheal Syndrome in HIV-Infection/AIDS: A Review
Authors:   Department of Infectious Diseases, Sofiamed Hospital, Sofia, Bulgaria, RS Andonova , GT Popov ,   Department of Infectious Diseases, Sofiamed Hospital, Sofia, Bulgaria
Published: April 2024

HIV infection continues to be a huge socio-economic problem. The infection is characterized by a variety of symptoms, with the involvement of the gastrointestinal tract in all infected. Diarrhea is the most common gastrointestinal symptom among HIV-infected patients and is seen in over 90% of them. The etiology of diarrhea syndrome is varied and is both infectious and non-infectious. In recent years, the number of patients with non-infectious diarrhea has increased due to the introduction of specific antiretroviral therapy, prolonging the survival of HIV-infected patients, and the occurrence of a variety of accompanying chronic and malignant diseases affecting intestinal structures. The incidence, severity and variation in the clinical picture of diarrhea is determined by specific immune changes in the gastrointestinal tract as well as changes occurring in the intestinal microbiome in HIV-infected / AIDS patients.
Evaluating the alignment of alternative assessment methods with REACH Article 57
Authors: London Rachel L. , Glüge Juliane , Scheringer Martin
Published: April 2024

The assessment of chemical alternatives for hazardous substances is an important prerequisite for avoiding regrettable substitution, and several methods have been developed in the past to perform such an Assessment-of-Alternatives. We investigate whether GreenScreen®, Cradle to Cradle®, Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), Cost Benefit Analysis, the Pollution Prevention Options Analysis System, the U.S.EPA Safer Choice Standard and Criteria, and the GHS column model 2020 from IFA use similar criteria for the evaluation of substances as Article 57 of REACH and how suitable these methods are for assessing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. MCDA and GreenScreen® were identified as the most promising methods and were analyzed in detail using two different datasets. The results of the assessments show that none of the investigated alternative assessment methods use the same hazard assessment criteria as described in Article 57 of REACH. It was also not possible to parameterize MCDA (using the multi-attribute utility theory approach) without redundant variables so that the results align with an assessment according to Article 57 of REACH. There is therefore an urgent need for a modified/new method that can be used in the future to assess organic substances that are used within the European Economic Area.
Stability, Electronic Properties and CO Adsorption Properties of Bimetallic PtAg/Pt(111) Surfaces
Authors: Mancera Luis , Groß Axel , Behm R. Jürgen
Published: April 2024

Using periodic density functional theory calculations we have investigated the stability, electronic properties and CO adsorption properties of bimetallic Pt Ag surfaces, including pseudomorphic Ag film covered Pt(111) surfaces and PtxAg1-x/Pt(111) monolayer surface alloys. The data provide detailed insights into the relative stabilities of different surface configurations, as indicated by their formation enthalpies and surface energies, and changes in their electronic properties, i.e., in the projected local densities of states and shifts in the d-band center. The adsorption properties of different Ptn ensembles were systematically tested using CO as probe molecule. In addition to electronic ligand and strain effects, we were particularly interested in the role of different adsorption sites and of the local COad coverage, given by the number of CO molecules per Pt surface atom in the Ptn ensemble. Different from PdAg surfaces, variations in the adsorption energy with adsorption site and with increasing local coverage are small up to one COad per Pt surface atom. Finally, formation of multicarbonyl species with more than one COad per Pt surface atom was tested for separated Pt1 monomers and can be excluded at finite temperatures. General trends and aspects are derived by comparison with comparable data for PdAg bimetallic surfaces.
Ergodic Behavior of η- and θ-Alumina Equilibrium on Al(OH)3 Surface
Authors: Sakakibara Masaya , Hanaya Minoru , Nakamuro Takayuki , Nakamura Eiichi
Published: April 2024

We provide rare experimental evidence of ergodicity at the atomic level using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. By examining the phase transition from η-alumina to θ-alumina in bayerite Al(OH)3 crystallites, we directly observe and quantify the ergodic nature of this transformation. The study demonstrates that at the nanoscale, the time a particle spends in various states during a phase transition aligns with the overall system's state distribution, thus confirming ergodic theory predictions. This research challenges traditional deterministic models of phase transitions in macroscopic crystals, suggesting a broader applicability of ergodic principles in understanding the dynamics of structural phase changes.
Modeling and Comparative Analysis of CO2 Absorption Columns in Electrochemical and Thermochemical Carbon Capture Systems
Authors: Ripley Katelyn M. , Brushett Fikile R.
Published: April 2024

Deployment of post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technologies is needed to reduce emissions from power and industrial sources. Comparisons between existing thermochemical CO2 capture methods and emerging electrochemical concepts can help contextualize the promise of these new approaches. Here, we investigate the required absorber sizes for three capture systems: amine scrubbing using monoethanolamine (MEA), direct electrochemical (redox-active sorbent), and indirect electrochemical (pH-swing). For the electrochemical systems, we study how column size varies as a function of molecular properties and operating conditions, finding that parameters most closely related to CO2 uptake rates (i.e., rate constants and pKa) have the greatest impact. Through a Monte Carlo analysis, we find that the direct process can be designed to have column sizes similar to the thermochemical process, however, the CO2 uptake rate in the indirect process is too slow to enable smaller columns. Broadly, this work connects system input parameters to absorber performance for electrochemical CO2 capture and provides a foundation for technoeconomic and engineering analyses.
Basic Nervous Processes – Excitation and Inhibition as Adaptive Reactions: A Review. 1. Critical Analysis of the Evolution of Theories about Basic Nervous Processes and Evidence of the Dependence of the Inhibitory Response of Neurons on Their Current Adaptive State
Authors:   Irkutsk State University, Murik S. E.
Published: April 2024

In the work is criticized the paradigm about excitation and inhibition as the main nervous processes caused by the activity of specific excitatory and inhibitory systems. Analysis of the literature shows that the currently in neurophysiology dominant approach, justifying the existence of such systems, relies mainly on facts obtained in vitro, which are far from normal for the existence of nerve cells. Literature data are presented that indicate the dependence of the nature of the neuron response on its current adaptive (biological) state and the cytotoxicity of the neurotransmitter. In particular, in the review (part 1) it is shown that in response to the action of GABA (less toxic than neurotransmitter glutamate), brain neurons in both good (in vivo) and relatively bad (which is often in vitro) vital state will respond by hyperpolarizing postsynaptic potential (HPSP), either without excitation – the phenomenon of hyperpolarizational inhibition, or with the generation of nerve impulses, by posthyperpolarization recoil mechanism. In very poor living conditions (in vivo or in vitro), the neuronal response to GABA will always be a depolarizing postsynaptic potential (DPSP) with or without generation of action potentials (AP).

Authors: Karma Sonam Rigdel , Thinley Zangmo , Melam Zangmo , Tandin Zangmo
Published: April 2024

This action research investigates the impact of mobile learning on geography education, employing a mixed methods approach. A quasi-experimental design consisting of pre-test and post-test measures was employed. Data were gathered using a geography learning achievement test, a survey questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews. Purposive sampling was employed to select 70 students from class Eight, with 35 in each of the control (CG) and experimental groups (EG). The intervention incorporated mobile devices in the EG's geography learning, while the CG was taught using traditional methods. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings are presented in two phases. In the quantitative phase, both an independent and paired sample t-test revealed no significant difference between CG and EG in the pretest. However, a post-test showed a substantial difference, favoring the EG with a large effect size (d = 1.02). Both the quantitative and qualitative phases explored students' perceptions, revealing strong positive perceptions towards mobile learning (M = 4.26, SD = .49). Furthermore, Pearson's correlation analysis indicated a moderately positive correlation (r = .637) between students' perceptions and post-test scores, suggesting a relationship between positive perceptions and improved learning achievement. This AR concludes with implications and recommendations for future research.

Authors: Sriratree Tivarat , Suwannamek Opal , Srinuan Chalita
Published: April 2024

Purpose: The objective of this research was to study the variables that affect the online shopping behavior of Generation-Y.
 
Methods: This research was conducted using quantitative methods utilizing a questionnaire as the primary tool to collect data from 300 samples of Gen-Y group who use online shopping services. The statistics used in the data analysis comprised descriptive statistics and structural equation model analysis.
 
Results and Discussions: The results showed that the maximum mean factors were online shopping behavior (mean=5.54, SD.= .681), intention to purchase (mean=5.52, SD.= .704), and subjective norms (mean=5.19, SD.=.924), respectively. The results of casual model analysis found that intention to purchase, and subjective norms affected the online shopping behavior of Y Gen consumers with statistical significance. However, the controllability factor was not statistically significant.
 
Research Implications: Therefore, consumers' perceptions of using technology through social media purchases are seemingly increasing. Accordingly, entrepreneurs in the e-market should use big data to analyze consumer behavior, communicate with consumers, and publicize information efficiently. Consumer groups want to try new things and challenges, and like using a convenient internet to save time, searching products, purchase, and make transactions on one platform via social media.
 
Conclusions: The retail industry has fully entered the digital age, which is evident by the vast number of consumers who use various online platforms. Further, this trend is continuously increasing due to the constant development of modern technology to facilitate consumers and increase the efficiency of commerce. At present, changing consumer behaviors affect various activities and consumption behaviors, especially in terms of consumers spending less time purchasing products in stores and spending more time buying goods and services online using various technological means. Also, this fact tends to significantly increase e-commerce.
 
Originality/Value: It could also be used to reach new target customers to provide more convenience or search for new products that could be acquired easily, even if originating from different continents to help facilitate, save time, and create tremendous business opportunities.
Early childhood teachers engaging with leadership narratives in policy
Authors: Gorst Louise , Jia Alice Chen , Cooper Maria
Published: April 2024

Educational leadership resists a unifying definition, assumption, or theory. This complexity encourages us to learn about leadership to understand its core components, underlying assumptions, and relevance for context. In Aotearoa New Zealand, policy rhetoric promotes leadership as being enacted by teachers and positional leaders. This consideration for teachers is positive but problematic, as it requires them to consider leadership in ways beyond what they feel equipped or supported to achieve. Augmenting this concern is the limited professional learning support for leadership development, especially in early childhood, and the increasing responsibility for teachers to achieve policy aspirations. To understand the rhetoric used to emphasise this responsibility, we utilise qualitative document analysis to examine the leadership narratives promoted in the Teaching Council’s Leadership Strategy and Capability Framework, from the perspectives of provisionally certificated teachers, teacher leaders, and positional leaders. Our argument suggests the leadership narratives promulgated by these texts are ambitious and raise issues of: coherence, contextualisation, and complexity. We discuss these issues in relation to support for teachers to critically engage with policy texts as important leadership learning.
The Effects of a Shadowing Activity Using Movies on Korean EFL College Learners’ Speaking Skills and Their Affective Attitudes
Authors: Jin Seunghee
Published: April 2024

The present study investigated the effects of a shadowing activity using movies on Korean English as a Foreign Language (EFL) college students’ speaking skills and their affective attitudes. Over a semester, 138 students participated in the study and were assigned to an experimental group (n = 71) and a control group (n = 67). According to language proficiency, the participants in the experimental group were assigned to advanced, intermediate, and beginner groups. Over a semester, all the experimental groups engaged in a shadowing activity once a week while the control group participated in a traditional speaking activity. For data collection, both pre- and post-speaking tests and pre- and post-experiment questionnaires on affective attitudes were conducted. The results showed that the shadowing activity is more effective than the traditional speaking activity in terms of increasing speaking proficiency. In addition, there was a statistically significant improvement in the speaking proficiency of both the intermediate and beginner groups while there was no statistically significant difference in the speaking proficiency of the advanced group. Furthermore, the shadowing activity significantly improved the confidence, interest, and motivation level of the experimental group. Based on the findings, it is suggested that this shadowing activity using movies can be an effective tool to develop EFL learners’ speaking skills and improve their affective attitudes.
Improving the Ability of Teachers to Address the Special Educational Needs of Students through Capacity-Building Program
Authors: Llanes Anthony B. , Llanes Maria Cristina L.
Published: April 2024

Formal educational institutions are now accommodating students with special educational needs (SEN), necessitating teachers to be adequately prepared to support these students. This study sought to evaluate teachers’ proficiency and familiarity in educating students with SEN both prior to and following their participation in a capacity-building program. The study employed purposive sampling, involving ten teachers responsible for SEN students. The findings unveiled that these teachers possessed limited knowledge and experience in dealing with SEN students before the initiation of the capacity-building program. Following its implementation, the teachers exhibited a substantial enhancement in their knowledge and experience. A comparative analysis indicated a notable contrast between the two sets of data, implying the effectiveness of the capacity-building program. As a result, the researchers recommended the integration of capacity-building programs to ensure teachers are adequately prepared and equipped for their roles.

Jak dělat takovou filozofii, která bude mít smysl?
Authors: Tomeček Marek
Published: April 2024

Po předběžném vymezení pojmu smyslu jako něčeho podobného funkci dané věci se pozornost obrací k vymezení filozofie jako teoretické disciplíny. Teorie je však vymezena pomocí svého protikladu praxe stejně jako krása je možná jen na pozadí ošklivosti a pravá ruka existuje díky ruce levé. Pokud se teorie neaplikuje v praxi, jedná se o spekulaci. Avšak teorie významu a pravdy, na které pretenduje analytická filozofie poslední doby, naši komunikační praxi nijak nevylepší. Pro teorie ve vědě je, na druhou stranu, dopředu vymezeno díky kterým výsledkům budou považovány za potvrzené, a díky kterým za vyvrácené. Filozofie není teorie a její otázky nemají žádnou funkci, tedy ani smysl.
Princip nedostatečného důvodu. Merleau-Ponty a teorie motivace
Authors: Čapek Jakub
Published: April 2024

Mezi jednáním a důvodem existuje zásadní vztah: není činu bez důvodu. Lze z toho však vyvodit, že je-li dán důvod, je dán i čin? Může mít čin dostatečný důvod? Studie zkoumá dvě podoby dostatečného důvodu : příčinu a premisu. Fenomenologická teorie motivace se staví jak proti myšlence, podle níž důvody jsou příčiny, tak proti přesvědčení, podle něhož důvody jsou premisy. Přínos fenomenologického výkladu motivace netkví především v představě, již rozpracoval Paul Ricoeur, že důvody jsou přítomné vědomí, nýbrž v originální paralele, již rozvinul Merleau-Ponty mezi perceptivní a praktickou motivací. There seems to be a fundamental relation between action and reason: no action without a reason. But does this mean that the reason, once it is given, brings about the action? Can an action have a sufficient reason? The article distinguishes two forms of the sufficient reason: the cause and the premise. The phenomenological theory of motivation argues against the idea “reasons are causes” as well as against the idea “reasons are premises”. The novelty of the phenomenological account of motivation consists not in the assumption, developed by Paul Ricoeur, “reasons are present to a consciousness”, but in the more original analogy developed by Merleau-Ponty between the perceptual motivation on the one side and the practical motivation on the other.
Normativita nespolupráce
Authors: Beran Ondřej
Published: April 2024

Tento článek se zabývá problematikou (organizované) nespolupráce a černého pasažérismu; jeho cílem je ukázat „spolupráci“ a „nespolupráci“ jako relativní pojmy odpovídající různým úrovním popisu. Závěrem naznačuje, že fenomén organizovaného obcházení pravidel může představovat problém pro naturalistické varianty teorie společenské smlouvy.
Jenom svět nestačí. Charles Taylor o sekularizmu
Authors: Glombíček Petr
Published: April 2024

Článek se věnuje nejnovější knize Charlese Taylora Secular Age (2007). Poukazuje na její kořeny v hegeliánství a v novějších kritikách modernity a probírá některé námitky vůči Taylorově koncepci včetně Taylorových odpovědí. Taylor představuje dva typy současných etických projektů. Na jedné straně tzv. výlučný humanismus, na druhé straně imanentní antihumanismus. A smyslem jeho genealogie moderního sekularismu je ukázat vzájemnou podmíněnost mezi antihumanismem, humanismem a religiozitou s tím, že bez nějaké formy transcendence se každý západní hodnotový systém vystavuje nepřekonatelným tenzím, aby následně navrhl koncept originality volající k následování jako spojnici hlavního nároku křesťanství ztělesněného v pojmu lásky k bližnímu s moderním uměním jako náhražkovým náboženstvím. Taylorova práce je nejen v tomto ohledu postavena na jeho celoživotním zájmu o Hegelovu filosofii, v níž se hledá takový způsob, jak spojit etiku autenticity se smyslem pro společenství, který by překonal omezení reflektující racionality. Taylorovo obohacení Hegela můžeme chápat jako snahu nahradit tradiční nárok lásky k bližnímu srozumitelnějším pojmem podpory rozmanitosti v jednotě (resp. pojmem kultury).   The essay examines Charles Taylor’s latest book The Secular Age (2007) by unveiling its Hegelian roots together with its debt to other critics of modernity and by considering some objections as well as Taylor’s answers. Taylor sketches two types of contemporary ethical  projects. On the one hand he considers exclusive humanism, on the other the immanent antihumanism. The moral of Taylor’s story of modern secularism comes to his claim that the anti-humanism is enabled by humanism and humanism again by religiosity. According to him this comes to indispensability of religion: namely, some notion of transcendence is necessary for coherence of any set of values available to western man. Actually the originality inspiring its following is what he understands as the key element that is shared by the central claim of Christianity embodied in the notion of love (agape) overcoming the rigorism of explicit rules on the one hand and modern art as Ersatzreligion.(Not only) this aspect of Taylor’s recent work is rooted in his lifelong interest in Hegel, who looked for such pairing of the ethics of authenticity with a sense for community that could overcome the limits of reflective rationality. We can interpret Taylor’s amendement to Hegel as a substitution of „support for differentiation in unity“ (or simply „culture“) for „love for neighbour“.
"Tvrdé jádro" logiky a sémantické paradoxy. Konfrontace scholastického a moderního přístupu.
Authors: Hanke Miroslav
Published: April 2024

Tvrdým jádrem“ logiky je soubor intuitivně uchopitelných fenoménů z oblasti sémantické valuace, který odolává revizím, typicky vynucovaným sémantickými paradoxy. Příspěvek se věnuje revizím logiky vytvořenými Priestem a Swyneshedem.  „The hard core“ of logic is a set of intuitively conceivable phenomena regarding semantic evaluation which resists revisions (typically revisions due to semantic paradoxes). The present paper deals with Priest’s and Swyneshed’s revision of logic.
Vražda a normativita
Authors: Tomeček Marek
Published: April 2024

Výsledkem rozboru lexikálního pole vražda a jemu příbuzných pojmů je zjištění, že tento pojem už ve svém významu obsahuje negativní hodnocení, na rozdíl od okolních pojmů. Avšak současná etika lokalizuje hodnotovost tohoto pojmu do slova špatný a soustředí se na jeho opak, slovo dobrý, jehož čistě etický význam se snaží izolovat. Plodnější však je chápat slovo vražda analogicky k jeho užití v justičním procesu soudem,  kde z něj, ve formě rozsudku, dokonce plynou performativní a právní důsledky.An analysis of the lexical field murder and its neighbouring concepts shows that this concept itself contains a negative value, as opposed to the other notions. But contemporary ethics tries to localize this negativity into the predicate wrong and concentrates on its opposite, good, whose purely ethical meaning it purports to isolate. But perhaps it is more useful to view the word murder analogically to its use in the judicial process, where performative and legal consequences follow.
Brentanova teorie pravdy
Authors: Janoušek Hynek
Published: April 2024

Tato studie mapuje vývoj Brentanova pojetí pravdy a ontologie, která se s jednotlivými pokusy po definici pravdy pojí. Nejprve je představena Brentanova raná koncepce pravdy jako shody soudu a předmětu soudu. Jsou ukázány problémy, na které Brentano ve svém korespondenčním pojetí pravdy narazil. Tyto problémy se týkají zejména zvláštních typů entit, které mají ručit za pravdivost soudů, jež vypovídají o neexistujících předmětech, privacích etc. Tváří tvář těmto problémům Brentano svoji původní koncepci zavrhl a nahradil epistemickým pojetím pravdy jako evidence a reduktivním pojetím nereálných předmětů, které jsou pouhým zdáním, jež v nás vzbuzuje nedostatečná analýza sémantické formy soudů. Studie předkládá v základních obrysech Brentanovo pojetí významu soudů o ireálných entitách podává a podrobuje ho kritice.The article describes the development of Brentano's conception of truth as well as the ontology which is closely connected to different attempts of Brentano's definition of truth. First of all comes Brentano's early view of truth as a correspondence between judgment and object into consideration. This conception brought Brentano face to face with peculiar kinds of entities which are to vouch for truth of judgments concerning non-existent objects, privations etc. Brentano was eventually forced to leave his original definition behind and substitute it with a new definition of truth as evidence. He also embraced a reductive stand towards supposedly unreal entities which are to be interpreted as fictions caused by insufficient analysis of semantic structures of judgments. The study ends with a presentation and critique of brentanian analysis of semantics of judgments concerning unreal objects.
