Être ou ne pas être
Authors: Thévenaz Pierre
Published: January 2025

Dans une conférence de 1941, Pierre Thévenaz (1913-1955) examine la question « Que suis-je ? » en suivant la méthode d’analyse réflexive. Dans une démarche ascendante, le philosophe part d’une réponse purement biologique et extérieure pour arriver, après les étapes psychologiques et éthiques, à la solution philosophique ou métaphysique : à travers le cogito cartésien, le moi identifie pensée et être. Cet être doit se comprendre comme activité : le « je » a alors l’expérience interne d’agir librement, comme une cause de soi. L’« être » du moi est pur devenir, donc pure spiritualité. Le non-être se définira alors également comme spiritualité : il sera la non-présence de l’esprit à lui-même.

ВОПРОСЫ НЕЗАКОННОЙ ОХОТЫ В КЫРГЫЗСКОЙ РЕСПУБЛИКЕ: ПРИЧИНЫ, ПОСЛЕДСТВИЯ И ПУТИ ПРАВОВОГО РЕГУЛИРОВАНИЯ
Authors: К. А. Исаева  , Г. К. Абдухалыкова
Published: January 2025

Незаконная охота в Кыргызской Республике представляет собой серьёзную угрозу для сохранения биоразнообразия и устойчивого развития экосистем. Основными причинами этого явления являются корыстные мотивы, широкая доступность оружия среди населения, недостаточная эффективность охраны природных территорий, а также слабое применение законодательства, регулирующего борьбу с незаконной охотой. В уголовном законодательстве Кыргызской Республики предусмотрена ответственность за браконьерство, однако её реализация остаётся ограниченной, что способствует безнаказанности нарушителей. Для решения проблемы требуется ужесточение мер наказания, увеличение числа егерей, улучшение их условий труда и технического оснащения, а также укрепление межведомственного взаимодействия. Эффективная борьба с незаконной охотой возможна только при условии активного участия всех заинтересованных сторон, включая государственные структуры, правоохранительные органы и местное население. Совместные действия позволят сохранить уникальное природное наследие Кыргызстана и обеспечить его экологическую безопасность. Авторами делается обоснованный вывод, что для улучшения ситуации требуется ужесточение законодательства, включая увеличение штрафов и сроков лишения свободы за незаконную охоту. Необходимы также реформы в системе охраны природы: увеличение численности егерей, повышение их заработной платы и улучшение технического оснащения.

Authors: Moraes Tiago de Sousa , Bitencourt Caroline Müller
Published: January 2025

Este artigo visa discutir o papel dos Poderes e das instituições no contexto da erosão democrática, evidenciando que uma crise institucional pode ser evitada quando o papel protagonista do Supremo Tribunal Federal na criação e na gestão de conflitos institucionais é exercido de forma mais prudente e comedida. Dito isso, cabe indagar: Como definir parâmetros para operacionalizar uma atuação mais cooperativa e harmônica entre os Poderes levando em consideração o cenário institucional brasileiro e seus problemas práticos provenientes do campo jurídico-político? E mais: de que forma os Poderes e as instituições podem contribuir com a resposta à crise da democracia no Brasil? Para isso, foi necessário abordar a teoria das capacidades institucionais com o objetivo de chamar a atenção sobre a importância da questão institucional nas relações entre os Poderes, bem como apresentam-se os conceitos de autoridade constitucional compartilhada, virtudes passivas e jurisdição constitucional anticíclica como propostas para atuação do Supremo Tribunal Federal mais preocupada com as consequências institucionais de suas decisões para o arranjo institucional e para a defesa da democracia.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by wides­pread pain, non-restorative sleep, fatigue, and cognitive dysfunction, which significantly affects patients’ quality of life. Material or Patients and Methods: This literature review analyzes the efficacy and benefits of physical exercise in the management of fibromyalgia, including aerobic exercises, strengthening, flexibility, aquatic activities, and specific practices like Tai Chi, yoga, and Pilates. The search was conducted in the scientific databases PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Priority was given to the inclusion of randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. Results: Evidence demonstrates that physical exercise can reduce pain, improve functional capacity and quality of life, and decrease fatigue and stiffness. At the molecular level, physical exercise modulates inflammatory markers and neurotransmitters, contributing to the reduction of central sensitization and improving cognitive function and sleep quality. However, the response to exercise varies among patients due to the heterogeneity of the condition. Conclusion: It is crucial to design individualized and progressive exercise programs to maximize benefits and minimize the risk of exacerbating symptoms. Interdisciplinary collaboration and the integration of strategies to improve adherence are essential for deve­loping safe and effective exercise programs that enhance the quality of life for patients with fibromyalgia.

Authors: ARANEDA TOLEDO DAYAN , SMITH PLAZA RAÚL , CANCINO LÓPEZ JORGE
Published: January 2025

Introduction: People with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience sensory, motor, and autonomic alterations that influence cardiovascular and respiratory responses during exercise. In this context, the objective of the present study was to compare the first and second ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2), peak oxygen uptake (VO2 peak), and peak heart rate (HRpeak) between adult men with low thoracic paraplegia and men without SCI. Material or Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional observational comparative study, n = 8 adult males with low thoracic paraplegia (neurological level T6-T12, ASIA A) (PARA group) and n = 19 adult males without SCI (CON group). A maximal incremental test was performed on an upper limb cycle ergometer, using a MetaMax®3B ergos- pirometer and a Polar H7 cardiac transmitter. The data obtained were analyzed with SPSS 17.0, applying the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test for group comparison. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in VT1 (U = 32, p = 0.019) and VT2 (U = 18.5, p = 0.002) in favor of the CON group. In contrast, no significant differences were observed in VO2peak (PARA = 2.7ml/kg/ min vs. CON=3.0ml/kg/min; p = 0.200) or HRpeak (PARA = 186 bpm vs. CON = 173 bpm; p = 0.099). Conclusion: This study revealed significant differences in ventilatory thresholds between men with and without low thoracic paraplegia, suggesting variations in submaximal exercise efficiency and capacity. Howe­ver, no notable differences were recorded in VO2 peak or HRpeak. These findings reinforce the importance of ventilatory thresholds as a tool for the assessment and prescription of exercise in individuals with SCI.

Published: January 2025

This study develops a dynamic pricing model to minimize unearned revenue in public procurement processes. The research focuses on suppliers' participation in public tenders to establish a fair lot price. By combining quantitative and qualitative methods, the study analyzes data from the public procurement portal, companies' financial statements, and insights from in-depth interviews. Using the Altman model, the analysis investigates how additional revenue from dynamic pricing impacts short-term (1–2 years) bankruptcy risks. Results indicate that optimal dynamic pricing-achieving an effect of 14–16% - can enhance a company's financial stability by reducing bankruptcy likelihood. The study also assesses suppliers' responsiveness to recommended prices, finding that suppliers raise their prices by approximately 55–60% in line with recommendations. Suppliers consider this approach ethical, as profit remains a key business objective. The research concludes with a linear model capable of achieving a 65% success rate in tenders and reducing unearned revenue by 83.9%.

The synthesis of mechanisms is a complex field of study that includes, in addition to the knowledge necessary for the correct configuration of working mechanisms and those necessary for their analysis, knowledge from the field of nonlinear programming that involves the calculation of the extrema of an objective function, possibly subject to some constraints. In this context, the dimensional synthesis of the mechanisms that involves the establishment of an optimal set of dimensions of the component elements to ensure the necessary precision of the operating parameters remains an always current field through its multiple applications. The paper presents a method of dimensional synthesis of a multi-contour mechanism for which certain values of the stroke of a component piston and the positions of the driving element of the mechanism in which the change of the direction of movement of the piston takes place are imposed. Through the dimensional synthesis of the analyzed mechanism, it is aimed that, in addition to the mentioned conditions, a minimum value of the sum of the lengths of the component elements is obtained. To achieve the optimal synthesis, the Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) method included in the Optimization package from the Maple program was used.

Science literacy in Indonesia is still a big challenge, as evidenced by the low scores in the latest PISA results. Low science literacy is caused by several factors including learning that is not contextualised and less relevant to everyday life. In addition, student involvement in learning is also very influential on the success of learning. Therefore, this study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of Guided Inquiry learning method combined with Nearpod learning media in improving students' science literacy. The study used a pre-experimental approach with a ‘one group pre-test post-test’ design model. The population in this study was class X students at SMA Negeri 1 Cimahi consisting of 11 classes. The sampling process was carried out randomly (random sampling), namely class X-11 which totalled 29 students. The results showed that the Guided Inquiry learning method combined with Nearpod learning media was effective in improving students' science literacy, especially in the aspects of designing and evaluating scientific investigations on environmental change material.

Published: January 2025

Through multimodal learning, this literature review investigates how engineering graphics is integrated with art education and drawbacks of straddling disciplinary boundaries. How such multidisciplinary learning might advantage people in messy real-life situations. At the heart of the review is synthesis on Key studies: Education that engages multiple senses as well as perspectives-multimodal learning. By doing so, creativity may be unleashed to flourish, problem-solving skills honed, and pupils drawn deeper into their subjects than would otherwise be the case. In this way also student performance will thrive. Of course, these conclusions may already have implications for educational design by suggesting new paths. The findings underline the relevance of establishing techniques used by artists in drawing and sculpture to engineering, confuting any suggestion that creative work is mere window-dressing. They hold out greater certainty than is often imagined that broad-based really does work. Although the review shows some important findings, it also points to many areas requiring further research. For example, there is a need to look at long-term impact studies; another is research about different student groups and practical problems faced by teachers in various places. Tentative suggestions for future research include making measures that will assess an interdisciplinary education's full array of skills, studying new teaching techniques using state-of-the-art technology and investigating ways to improve teacher training. The review concludes that, while still under development, the integration of engineering and art through multimodal learning has promising prospects for enriching education and preparing students better for life in today's world.

This research analyzes the impact of multimedia technologies on graphic design perception, and how this influences graphic design pedagogy, using examples such as visual reality (VR), 3D modeling, and interactive design platforms. The idea is to look at how virtual technologies affect students learning in visual literacy, spatial reasoning, and design hands-on skills. Approaches Mixed The approach included pre/post assessments, surveys, classroom observations, and interviews.
The results demonstrated that messages presented in multimedia-enhanced instruction improved the capacity of students to understand various complex design concepts than images taught through traditional methods alone. The use of multimedia tools also deepened student engagement and helped ensure a more interactive learning experience that facilitated collaborative learning. But the study also pointed to difficulties, largely related to how much both students and instructors had to learn. In conclusion, this study suggests that multimedia technologies have significant advantages in graphic design education, contributing to learning improvements and engagement. This indicates an enormous opportunity for personalized learning and vocational training in the design capacity. Future studies should investigate the long-term effect of multimedia tools on skill retention and pedagogical training for educators about their effective use.

ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF NATURAL MATERIALS IN CONTEMPORARY ART
Authors: Tuleuov D , ERDOĞAN Sezer
Published: January 2025

The use of natural materials has been the subject matter researched on for contemporary art, looking into a new trend of artists using organic elements in independent pieces. As well as a wider set of insights into the drivers behind this shift, how artists go about it and its broader society-wide implications. Based on a qualitative methodology —combining content analysis of works, interviews with the artists and art curators; literature study—the research examines how natural materials are moving beyond ornamentation to become inseparable from artworks—frequently pointing out environmental issues.The results imply that ephemerality is a concept of relevance to many modern artists, using ephemeral natural resources and creating works which change, rot or disappear. This shift represents a larger cultural pressure to acknowledge the temporary, precarious qualities of human beingness that threaten resistant notions of high/low art or "the true and enduring." The research also explores how such work frequently relates to issues of time, environmental sustainability and human-nature relations that tend to constitute a form of ecocentric praxis.This conversation moves between the pragmatic and ethical dilemmas concerning natural materials, from attempting to make eco-friendly art and balancing that tension with practice-based logistics. The study finds that using natural materials has become a major theme in contemporary art, giving new grounds for the re-interpretation of arts and environmental cultural studies. The research also calls for investigation of the potential use of natural substrates in other cultural contexts and ethical approaches.
