Nursing Students’ Perceived Effective Clinical Teachers’ Behaviors
Authors: Wilsom Mukan Squiter Macroy , Kulai Dorothy , Haji Che Md Nor Rumaizah
Published: March 2021

Clinical teaching is a core component of nursing education. The clinical teachers’ roles and responsibilities are to supervise clinical activities and empower students to gain clinical competency and skills. The nursing students’ perspective of effective clinical teachers’ behavior is an important indicator of facilitating and improving clinical education quality. This paper explored diploma nursing students’ perceived importance of effective clinical teaching behavior in helping their learning. A total of 165 nursing students from various levels of their diploma in nursing program from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) were invited to participate. A self-administered questionnaire was employed to collect demographic data and students' perceptions of effective clinical teacher behaviors and their importance on learning outcomes using the Nursing Clinical Teaching Effectiveness Inventory (NCTEI). The study results indicated that nursing students perceived evaluation as the most important effective clinical teaching behavior, while personal characteristics are the least important effective clinical teaching behavior. The results showed a significant positive relationship between the frequency of effective clinical teaching behavior used and the level of importance of effective clinical teaching behavior for all five criteria. This information can be used to improve faculty awareness of students’ views on clinical teaching performance and as a guide for the clinical instructor to develop and revise the clinical teaching approach in the clinical setting. Behavior perceived to be effective should be incorporated into clinical instructor practice, thereby maximizing students' learning experiences in the clinical setting.

Liberating Orphan Works from The Copyright Orphanage: The Malaysian Perspective
Authors: Muhamad Khair Muhamad Helmi , Nor Mohamad Hashim Haswira
Published: March 2021

Orphan works are works that are still protected by copyright and whose owners cannot be identified or located by prospective users for copyright clearance. Many countries have addressed this issue since the emergence of the problem, and it remains a legitimate subject of inquiry in this present day. However, Malaysia is yet to initiate public consultations and formulate legislative and non-legislative solutions to the orphan work problem. Hence, this paper aspires to underline the challenges and obstacles in exploiting the orphan works in Malaysia. It starts with a brief introduction to the orphan works problem and its causes. It further highlights the legal and policy uncertainties about the orphan work phenomenon in Malaysia and its implication to higher learning education. Besides, this paper also examines the current practices in the United Kingdom and Canada. Finally, this paper proposes some suggestions into what Parliament and policymakers have to do and avoid when solving Malaysia's orphan work phenomenon. It is hoped that the access to the orphan works in Malaysia would not be problematised, thereby liberating them from the copyright orphanage.

Bridging the Gap Between the Derivatives And Graph Sketching in Calculus
Authors: Ahmad Bakri Syah Runniza , Chin Ying Liew , Chee Khium Chen , Moi Hua Tuh , Siew Ching Ling
Published: March 2021

Sketching the graph of mathematical functions using derivatives is a challenging task for undergraduate students who enrol for the first level of calculus course. Before graph plotting, students are required to perform a thorough function analysis using the concepts learned in differentiation. They are then expected to solicit the results obtained to sketch the graph. Nevertheless, the students face great difficulties in achieving this goal; and fail to relate the results obtained in the analysis and their representation in a graph. Their performance is thus negatively affected eventually. To overcome this cognitive gap, an innovative board game named Graph Puzzle (GP) is developed. It is intended to function as a manipulator to facilitate students in comprehending the inter-related algebraic, symbolic, and graphic representation of a function under the applications of derivatives, forming the corresponding procedural and conceptual knowledge. To measure the effectiveness of this board game, 84 undergraduate students who took this calculus course were given pre- and post-test before and after the learning session. An ANCOVA test conducted reveals a significant difference (F (1, 81) = 12.182, p = 0.001) between pre and post-test score in solving polynomial functions, whereas students’ performance in solving rational functions indicates no meaningful difference (F (1, 81) = 0.04, p = 0.841) of post-scores between control and treatment groups. From this standpoint, it is shown that GP has the potential to serve as a solution to the difficulties faced on graph sketching in calculus, particularly when dealing with polynomial functions.

Authors: Ab Azis Norasikin , Ahmad Kamal Mohd Saleh , Radjeni Zurain , Mediani Ahmed , Agarwal Renu
Published: March 2021

Introduction: This study examined the association of losartan induced changes in urinary metabolomic profile with the changes in blood pressure (BP) and renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system (RAAS) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Methods: Male SHR were administered with either 0.5 mL of distilled water (control group, n=6) or 10 mg.kg -1 of losartan (group 2, n=6) daily by oral gavage for 4 weeks. Body weight, BP, food and water intake were measured weekly. At week 4, urine was collected for urinary electrolyte analysis and metabolite profiling, after which the animals were euthanised by decapitation and blood was collected for analysis of components of RAAS and electrolyte concentrations. Urine metabolite profile of SHR was determined using proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR) spectrometry combined with multivariate data analysis. Results: At week 4, losartan- treated SHR had significantly lower BP than non-treated SHR. There were no differences in water and food intake, body weight, serum and urinary electrolyte concentrations or in their urinary excretions between the two groups. No differences were evident in the components of RAAS except that the angiotensinogen level was significantly higher in losartan-treated SHR compared to non-treated SHR. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) showed clear separation of urinary metabolites between control and losartan-treated SHR. Losartan-treated SHR group was separated from the control group by changes in the intermediates involved in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism. Conclusion: Antihypertensive effect of losartan in SHR seems to be associated with changes in urinary metabolite profile, particularly involving the metabolism of glycine, serine and threonine.

Authors: Che Mat Che Mohd Hilmi , Salahuddin Zulkiflee , Muhamed Nik Azrizie , Mohamad Irfan
Published: March 2021

Osteomas occur in all parts of the temporal bone, including the mastoid, squamous, middle ear, styloid process, internal auditory canal and external auditory canal (EAC). The EAC has been reported to be the most common site, followed by the mastoid and squamous parts. Diagnosis is made based on history, clinical examination and radiological findings. Computed tomography reveals a pedunculated hyperdense mass that usually arises from the tympanosquamous suture. Surgical removal of EAC osteomas can be achieved using the endaural or postauricular approaches. It can be performed with a drill or osteotome, either endoscopically or by using microscopy. This report presents two patients with EAC osteomas who underwent excision under microscopy using the endaural approach. Surgery is the gold standard treatment, while close observation may be considered in asymptomatic patients.
SMALL BOWEL OBSTRUCTION SECONDARY TO OBTURATOR HERNIA: A PRE-OPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS AT COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY
Authors: Ramli Marlina Tanty , Mohd Khalid Mohd Shukry , Rahmat Kartini
Published: March 2021

Obturator hernia is rare, but it must be considered in elderly patients who present with small bowel obstruction. The diagnosis is challenging unless there is a high index of suspicion as the presenting symptoms and signs are usually non-specific. Presence of positive Howship-Romberg sign is considered pathognomonic. Early diagnosis and rapid surgical intervention will reduce the high morbidity and mortality associated with undiagnosed obturator hernia. We report a case of a 93-year-old female patient who was admitted to our surgical department with symptoms of intestinal obstruction of 3-days duration. Howship-Romberg sign was negative. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated the presence of left obturator hernia with proximal small bowel obstruction and no sign of strangulation. The patient had emergency laparotomy post-CT where the incarcerated bowel loop was released and the obstructed bowel was decompressed without any complication. The hernial defect was close with a mesh and the patient had an uneventful recovery post-surgery. In this case, we highlight that diagnosis of obturator hernia must always be considered in elderly patients who present with intestinal obstruction. Urgent CT could establish a rapid pre-operative diagnosis and aids inappropriate surgical intervention planning which is crucial in optimising the outcome.

Apprehending Air Conditioning Systems in Context to COVID-19 and Human Health: A Brief Communication
Authors:   Mechanical Engineering Department, C.G.C. Technical Campus, Punjab, India, Akhai Shalom
Published: March 2021

Nowadays human race which is strongest of all creatures on the planet is frightened to move out without precautions because of coronavirus. In the current article, a brief overview of the use of air-conditioners available in different designs is addressed in context to COVID-19. Since this virus is often transmitted by exhalations from infected airways, so Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems may be important to enhance or mitigate the spread of the infection in indoor dwellings. The design of the building is directly related to the airflow through the structure of the building. One of the biggest problems that is mushrooming out of this crisis is the use of air-conditioners. The air-conditioners produce artificial built environment, which in some cases may not be good for human beings. But at home for attaining thermal comfort, it remains a question mark, whether building architecture using air-conditioner is safe or not. The paper herein tries to co-relate the literature available for providing a brief communication to these questions.

Published: March 2021

The Silesian Voivodship is one of the most industrialised ones in Poland. It can be characterised by the highest number of employees in industry, which was equal to 458,000 in 2006, i.e. 16.9% of the total number of employees in industry in Poland. When calculated per 1000 inhabitants, the coefficient is equal to 98 and it gives the voivodship the first place in the country. The Silesian Voivodship is also close to the top as far as sold industrial production is concerned (the second place after the Mazowieckie Voivodship), which was 140,500,000,000 PLN in 2006, making 17.9% of the total industrial production in Poland, and also in the field of industrial investments, the value of which was equal to 9,500,000,000 PLN, making 18% of all investments in industry in Poland (the first place among all voivodships). Also the value of fixed asset in industry, being equal to 18.0% of the total value of the fixed asset in industry in Poland is the highest in the Silesian Voivodship. The presented factors prove a dominating role of industry in the voivodship economy and the industrial character of its inhabitants.The process of transformation from an industrial to an information society develops gradually. A civilisation is never totally and immediately replaced by another, but it is successively modified and it can exist in that modified form for a long time. According to the above assumption, the goal of the paper is to present selected aspects of development of the information society in the Silesian Voivodship.
Kryzys jako problem filozoficzno-społeczny
Authors: Brzozowski Tomasz Tadeusz
Published: March 2021

The article deals with the crisis and its effects. The results of the crisis do not always have to be unfavorable. The author of this text puts forward the thesis, that the effects of the crisis can sometimes lead to good results. The point of view depends on interpretation. In philosophical and social sense each slump requires somebody to take an action. Moreover, if the industry is in good condition, such state will not last forever. It is hard to explain why the last economic crisis triggered off such strong emotions. This crisis could be predicted and was, in a sense, expected. In author’s opinion it is worth to look on the positive side of the crisis as well.

Published: March 2021

The crisis in agriculture seems to be different than in other economic sectors. This is the result  of agriculture’s specificity. There is a very strong relationship between farmers and the results of their  work with natural environment. These connections are much more important than in industry or services.  Food production is of greatest importance. People have to eat even during very strong economic crisis.  Still, there are some types of crises present in contemporary agriculture. Some of them resemble the  crises present in the last thousands of years, but some of them are characteristic for current situation. In the article the following types of contemporary agricultural problems were discussed: the crisis  caused by natural environment conditions (the case of Russia and India), overproduction (the case of CAP in EU), the economic crisis (the case of West), the crisis caused by political tensions (the case  of Laos and Zimbabwe) as well as the situation of Polish agriculture (after Poland’s accession to EU).

In the era of increasing competition it is extremely important to be distinguishable on the market and to gain the trust of customers. One of the tools to achieve this goal is building the brand. A strong brand determines the existence of an enterprise and distinguishes it on the global market. Most often brand is defined as “name, term, symbol, design or combination thereof, designed to identify the goods or services of sellers or a group of sellers, and to distinguish them from the competition”1.  L. de Chernatony extends the concept of brand and defines it as “an identifiable product, service, person or place, augmented in such a way that the buyer or user perceives relevant, unique added values which match their needs most closely”.Globalization and the growing competition between the regions forces territorial units to take action to create their own competitive advantage. One of the tools of competitive struggle and a way for a region to distinguish itself is building a regional brand. A strong brand not only arouses interest and attracts tourists and investors, but is also a very strong support for the development of innovation and competitiveness of local enterprises.
Measuring and ranking the innovative potential of cities
Authors: Jakobson Anatol
Published: March 2021

The ranking of cities according to their individual intellectual (innovative, organizational, creative, central, etc.) potential is actual and important for geographic studies in the epoch of post--industrialization. The results of such ranking can be applied in various aspects and directions of regional policy.The very idea of such ranking seems to have been first formulated in France in the early 1960s. The research concerned was aimed at solving the problem of hyper-centralization in that country through forming ‘metropoles d’equilibre’ in the periphery, to counterbalance Paris. The task was to find the French cities which were ready to fulfill this role. Later, we have used this idea to rank Siberian cities as to their administrative potential. The important innovation in methodology was introduction of a principally new index, crucial just for Siberia (although maybe less important in Europe). This index is the distance from the nearest comparable or obviously more significant city

Celem artykułu jest określenie przemian potencjału produkcyjnego argentyńskiego przemysłusamochodowego w latach 1952–2011. Zbadano także ewolucję strategii produkcyjnych i inwestycyjnychmiędzynarodowych koncernów motoryzacyjnych obecnych w Argentynie, uwarunkowanązmianami koncepcji polityki gospodarczej, postępującą globalizacją produkcji oraz integracjąw obrębie Mercosur. Początki tego przemysłu w Argentynie wiążą się z przyspieszoną industrializacjąi modernizacją w okresie rządów Juana Perona. Rozwijany pod „osłoną” wysokich stawek celnychprzemysł samochodowy miał się przyczynić do unowocześnienia i przekształcenia struktury gospodarczejkraju. W badanym okresie wyróżniono trzy fazy jego rozwoju. Pierwsza z nich (1952–1975)wiąże się z wprowadzeniem przemysłu samochodowego do Argentyny, które początkowo dokonało sięprzy dużym zaangażowaniu kapitałowym państwa oraz prywatnych przedsiębiorców argentyńskich.W drugim etapie, charakteryzującym się konsolidacją działających w kraju zakładów, decydującą rolęodegrały koncerny międzynarodowe. Druga faza (1976–1990) charakteryzuje się głębokim kryzysemtego sektora, na który złożyła się niekorzystna sytuacja gospodarcza kraju oraz błędnie prowadzonapolityka przemysłowa, zbytnio liberalizująca import gotowych pojazdów. Doprowadziła ona nie tylkodo spadku ilości produkowanych pojazdów, ale także do opuszczenia kraju przez kilka koncernów międzynarodowych.Ostatnia faza (1991–2011) cechuje się ponownym dynamicznym wzrostem produkcji,która w 2011 r. osiągnęła największą w historii wielkość. Sukces ten wynikał głównie z umiejętnieprowadzonej polityki w tym sektorze, w której nacisk położono na rozwój eksportu, wykorzystującpowiększenie się rynku o państwa Mercosur.

We współczesnych przemianach systemu społecznogospodarczego ukształtowane środowisko działalności gospodarczej jest istotnym czynnikiem rozwoju. Wpływ otoczenia biznesu na rozwój regionu można analizować w wielu aspektach. Instytucje otoczenia biznesu mają wpływ na atrakcyjność inwestycyjną regionu, na poziom jego konkurencyjności. Przez relację innowacja-przemysł przyczyniają się do rozwoju przemysłu wysokiej technologii, innowacyjności gospodarki regionu, a także do kształtowania się gospodarki opartej na wiedzy. Instytucje te także bezpośrednio wspierają działalność gospodarczą w szczególności małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw, świadcząc po- moc informacyjną, doradczą i szkoleniową (ośrodki szkoleniowo-doradcze), a także finansową (fundusze pożyczkowe i poręczeniowe) dla prowadzących działalność gospodarczą. Biorąc aktywny udział w sieciach powiązań sfery nauki i praktyki gospodarczej, umożliwiają kształtowanie się nowoczesnej gospodarki regionu. Celem artykułu jest analiza poziomu i dynamiki rozwoju otoczenia biznesu w la- tach 2000–2009 w ujęciu regionalnym oraz charakterystyka zależności między poziomem rozwoju otoczenia biznesu i poziomem rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego regionów. W artykule podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na następujące pytania poznawcze: (1) które regiony Polski charakteryzują się najlepiej rozwiniętym otoczeniem biznesu, (2) jak kształtowała się dynamika rozwoju usług otoczenia biznesu w badanych regionach w latach 2000–2009 oraz (3) jak kształtuje się zależność między poziomem rozwoju otoczenia biznesu a poziomem rozwoju regionalnego.

Jedną z ważnych konsekwencji kryzysu gospodarczego dla europejskich przedsiębiorstw produkcyjnych jest pojawienie się zjawiska tzw. relokalizacji działalności produkcyjnej i związana z nią bezpośrednio zmiana struktury przestrzennej działalności badawczo-rozwojowej (B+R). Zmiana struktury przestrzennej w aspekcie działalności B+R uwarunkowana jest wieloma czynnikami, spośród których najważniejsze są: czynniki ekonomiczne (w tym ulgi i dotacje na działalność B+R, aspekty kosztowe), czynniki technologiczne (ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem bliskości jednostek naukowych i centrów transferu technologii), czynniki kulturowe (w tym związane z koncepcją społecznej odpowiedzialności biznesu w przedsiębiorstwach), czynniki społeczne i demograficzne (powiązane z potencjałem demograficznym poszczególnych lokalizacji), czynniki administracyjno-prawne (w tym otoczenie instytucjonalne). Celem pracy jest identyfikacja i analiza podstawowych kierunków i uwarunkowań zmiany struktury przestrzennej działalności B+R w europejskich (w tym polskich) przedsiębiorstwach, (szczególnie) działających w branży motoryzacyjnej i lotniczej (grupa branż high-tech).

The period of system transformation in Polish economy had a great influence on the function of settlement systems. At the beginning of 1990s, the rules and mechanisms of cities development were changing, and their functional meaning in local and regional space was connected with introducing new market rules and changing the ownership system.Functional structure analysis in cities proves that industry is giving way. However, industry should not be treated as a decadent branch, and all legislative and investment actions ought to be concentrated on quality restructuring. Industry can compete on the local, national and European market only when it goes through structural transformation, from a simple industry based on raw materials to competitive industries of high technology. In the region, the openness to actions of innovation is manifested in the creation of the Bydgoszcz Industrial-Technical Park in Bydgoszcz and the Centre of Technology Transfer in Toruń.These units are to be the platform of cooperation between science and industry, to introduce the modern know-how to the region, to create new workplaces, and finally to upper the cities and region’s position on the industrial arena.

Evidence-Based Prevention of Sports Injuries: Is the Sports Medicine Community on the Right Track?
Authors: Baroni Bruno Manfredini , Oliveira Pena Costa Leonardo
Published: March 2021

Sports injuries are multifactorial and have a complex web of risk factors. Thus, identifying risk factors plays a central role in designing prevention strategies. Following evidence-based practice principles, clinicians use the best available evidence to guide decisions about injury prevention. Here, we share a scenario familiar to the sports medicine community—risk factors for hamstring strain injury—and highlight some of the pitfalls that clinicians should watch out for when applying research to practice.

Venous sinus stenting for intractable pulsatile tinnitus: A review of indications and outcomes
Authors: Fiani Brian , Kondilis Athanasios , Doan Thao , Runnels Juliana , Fiani Nicholas J. , Sarno Erika
Published: March 2021

Background:

Pulsatile tinnitus presents as a unique variation of tinnitus in which a conscious perception of the heartbeat is localized to the ears in either unilateral or bilateral fashion. The sensation is typically caused by an increase in turbulent blood flow in the affected ear, in most cases, due to a structural abnormality of the venous sinuses – the most common of which being stenosis. Herein, we discuss the etiology of pulsatile tinnitus followed by indications for treatment of various pathologies which have been successfully treated with venous sinus stenting and have led to resolution of auditory symptoms.

Methods:

The authors queried PubMed database using combinations of the keywords “venous sinus stenting,” “endovascular treatment,” and “pulsatile tinnitus” to identify relevant studies published in English after 2001 and before December 1, 2020 and verified selected.

Results:

Our results corroborate those published in prior reviews reporting a high rate of pulsatile tinnitus resolution with venous sinus stenting.

Conclusion:

The success of venous sinus stenting is clinically relevant as an effective treatment option for patients suffering from pulsatile tinnitus. Future applications and studies are needed and are currently being developed to further demonstrate the effectiveness of stents in the treatment of pulsatile tinnitus.
Female insertion in neurosurgery: Evolution of a stigma break
Authors: Junior Luiz Severo Bem , Lemos Nilson Batista , Vianna Júlia de Araújo , Silva Juliana Garcia , Sanchez Luana Moury Fernandes , Silva Ana Cristina Veiga , Azevedo Hildo Rocha Cirne de
Published: March 2021

Background:

Utilizing the Brazilian Medical Demography analysis and a literature review, we evaluated how women choose to become neurosurgeons in Brazil and around the world, specifically citing the Europe, the USA, India, and Japan.

Methods:

We utilized the Brazilian Medical Demography prepared by the Federal Council of Medicine and the Regional Council of Medicine of the State of São Paulo (2011, 2013, 2015, and 2018). We also included an evaluation of 20 articles from PubMed, the Scientific Electronic Library Online, and National Health Library databases (e.g., using descriptors “Women in neurosurgery” and “Career”).

Results:

In Brazil in 2017, women comprised 45.6% of active doctors, but only 8.6% of all neurosurgeons. Of 20 articles identified in the literature, 50% analyzed the factors that influenced how women choose neurosurgery, 40% dealt with gender differences, while just 10% included an analysis of what it is like to be a female neurosurgeon in different countries/continents.

Conclusion:

The participation of women in neurosurgery has increased in recent years despite the persistence of gender inequality and prejudice. More women need to be enabled to become neurosurgeons as their capabilities, manual dexterity, and judgment should be valued to improve the quality of neurosurgical health-care delivery.
Cerebral fat embolism in the absence of a long bone fracture: A rare case report
Authors: Fowler James B. , Fiani Brian , Sarhadi Kasra , Cortez Vladimir
Published: March 2021

Background:

The classic triad of fat embolism syndrome consists of pulmonary distress, mental status change, and petechial rash. Typically, symptoms manifest 24–48 hours after a long bone fracture, but case reports have demonstrated fat embolism syndrome without long bone fracture. These cases are initiated by a stress response, mobilizing free fatty acids into the circulation.

Case Description:

Herein, we present the case of a 70-year-old male who presented with the left-sided hemiparesis and was subsequently found to have tandem lesions of the right internal carotid artery (ICA) and right middle cerebral artery (MCA) warranting emergent mechanical thrombectomy (MT). The ensuing pathology report determined the source of ischemic stroke to be caused by fat embolism, a rare and intriguing case of cryptogenic large vessel occlusion (LVO) with unique features distinguishing it from other reports in the literature.

Conclusion:

According to the biochemical theory, a catecholamine surge can precipitate fat globules forming in the circulatory system, leading to tissue hypoxia, injury, and ischemia. While the majority of cerebral fat emboli cause reversible ischemia of small diameter vessels, our case presents with LVO and tandem lesions in both the ICA and MCA resulting in infarct and residual hemiparesis.
Institution, événement et histoire chez Merleau-Ponty
Authors: Terzi Roberto
Published: March 2021

Nous examinons ici les différentes implications du concept d’insti­tution de Merleau-Ponty pour une phénoménologie de l’historicité. Après avoir rappelé des débats concernant le « retour de l’événement » dans l’histoire contemporaine, et l’absence de ce thème dans les phénoménologies françaises de l’événement, nous essayons de montrer en un premier moment la possible contribution des analyses de Merleau-Ponty à cette question : son concept d’institution implique, en effet, aussi une réflexion sur l’événement, qui s’articule sur plusieurs plans et peut être utilement rapprochée de la conception de l’événement qui s’est diffusée dans l’historiographie contem­poraine. La portée des réflexions de Merleau-Ponty ne se limite bien sûr pas à une phénoménologie de l’événement historique, mais implique une com­préhension d’ensemble de l’historicité, qui doit être pensée dans la conjonc­tion de l’événement et de la fécondité de la tradition, en deçà des oppositions entre logique et contingence, subjectif et objectif, activité et passivité. Cet approfondissement permettra d’aborder aussi les concepts d’histoire sauvage et histoire verticale, ainsi que l’idée programmatique d’une « métaphysique de l’histoire », dont nous essayons de donner une interprétation à plusieurs niveaux. Précisément ce dernier thème nous conduira enfin à soulever des questions critiques concernant la subordination des thèmes de l’altérité, de la différence, de la nouveauté dans la compréhension merleaupontienne de l’histoire et du rapport entre les cultures.
Braucht die Logik Objekte? Die Ontologie logischer Gegenstände im Tractatus und Erfahrung und Urteil
Authors: Ohnesorge Miguel
Published: March 2021

Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus logico-philosophicus and Edmund Husserl’s Experience and Judgement (Erfahrung und Urteil) are based on remarkably different conceptual frameworks and methodologies. After analyzing their respective accounts on the foundations of (formal) logic, I map out their common aims and different conclusions. I hold that Husserl and Wittgenstein both use the epistemic necessity of the existence of logical relations among things as an argument against philosophical skepticism, but their different epistemological convictions lead them to decisively diverging accounts of the nature of those relations. Wittgenstein assumes a syntactic correspondence theory of truth, which identifies general logical form as necessary condition for accurate representation, apparent in the existence of local truth-functions between propositions. As logical form is the (transcendental) necessary condition of every meaningful proposition, he infers that it is itself not representable and without ontological status. Husserl, by contrast, does not draw from a correspondence theory, but from a processual theory of certainty and truth, which offers genetic instead of categorical distinctions between perception and the logical relations apparent in conceptual knowledge. His theory of formal logic ultimately offers a coherent ontology for logical objects, which avoids logical mysticism.
Das sinnlich Gegebene als die wahrhafte Wirklichkeit: Husserls Umstülpung von Hegels Idealismus
Authors: De Palma Vittorio
Published: March 2021

After a reconstruction of Hegel’s conception of reality, it is demonstrated that Husserl’s conception is opposite to it and very similar to Feuerbach’s one. Against Hegel’s theory of universal mediation, it is argued that the immediately given can be described and is the epistemic presupposition of every assertion about the world. After a discussion of Maimon’s and Lewis’ conceptions of the given, it is concluded that — contrary to what Hegel claims — experience is the only ground of knowledge and the real is the other of the idea viz. the heteronomous to thinking, that is the sensuous given, which is not something subjective.
Cultural objects in Ingarden’s realism. In honour of the 50th anniversary of Ingarden’s death
Authors: Limido Patricia
Published: March 2021

The purpose of this article is to examine the type(s) of realism that Ingarden builds by analysing the place of man in nature and the production of intentional and cultural objects. The possibility of creating cultural worlds raises the problem of the conditions of possibility of an interaction between the intentional order of cultural products and the real order of connections of natural things. Ingarden's positions are rather ambiguous, so I will try to study in what sense we can speak of realism, naturalism or idealism. And since the ontological analysis that Ingarden follows excludes the possibility of an intertwining between the different domains of being, I will hypothesize an idea of emergence in order to think an articulation between the cultural worlds of man and the factual world of nature. This approach will be guided by the status of intentional and cultural objects and that of aesthetic qualities and values which involve the notion of Gestalt. The challenge is to understand how new things, values and qualities can fit into the order of the real world. On the one hand, this allows to unveil the complexity and innovation of Ingarden's analyses on the interactions between natural and ecological systems. And on the other hand, to realize the great unity of his philosophy because the different themes, ontology and aesthetics, axiology and epistemology continuously interplay together.
Qu’est-ce qu’une phénoménologie matérielle ? Henry et Levinas : l’impression et sa modification
Authors: Lorelle Paula
Published: March 2021

Qu’entendre par phénoménologie « matérielle » ? Cette expression désigne habituellement le projet phénoménologique original exposé par Michel Henry dans l’ouvrage de 1990 et qui entend, contre l’hylétique husserlienne, faire retour au mode de phénoménalité propre à l’impression, en deçà de son appréhension intentionnelle. Mais, comme cette étude espère d’abord le montrer, la radicalité de ce retour tient moins au caractère non intentionnel de l’impression, conçue comme auto-affection, qu’il ne tient à son caractère absolument non modifié. Henry s’appuie ici sur une lecture des Leçons de 1905 de Husserl sur le temps, selon laquelle toute modification de l’impression relèverait déjà, en elle-même, d’une appréhension intentionnelle. Or, comme il s’agira ensuite de le suggérer, la modification de l’impression pourrait n’être pas déjà synonyme de son appréhension. La lecture par Levinas des Leçons de 1905 y décèle une différence originaire et non intentionnelle, immanente à la sphère impressionnelle — la présence d’une altération, d’une altérité ou d’une transcendance, immanente à l’impression. Cette lecture ne rouvre-t-elle pas la « tâche immense » d’une phénoménologie matérielle, en deçà de l’aporie à laquelle semble la conduire le dualisme ontologique de Henry ?
L’aristotélisation gadamérienne de Platon ou l’herméneutique dialogique à la lumière du problème de l’ironie
Authors: St-Hilaire Antoine P.
Published: March 2021

Cette étude cherche à rendre compte d’un trait particulier et pratiquement inobservé dans la fondation gadamérienne de l’herméneutique philosophique. Si l’on connaît bien le rôle du platonisme — et plus spécifiquement du dialogue platonicien — parmi les sources au sein desquelles Gadamer a puisé pour formuler le caractère dialogique du comprendre, on a rarement noté que la phénoménologie du dialogue sur laquelle s’appuie une telle fondation s’inscrivait en faux par rapport à son modèle sur un point bien précis : l’ironie, qu’elle soit socratique ou platonicienne. Nous proposons ici que pour bien expliquer la relation trouble que la fondation dialogique de l’herméneutique gadamérienne entretient avec l’ironie socratico-platonicienne, il faille concevoir le platonisme de Gadamer à la lumière d’une certaine forme d’aristotélisation, par laquelle la philia et la phronêsis aristotéliciennes sont en quelque sorte projetées sur le modèle platonicien du dialogue.
La relation entre imagination et perception : différence ou répétition ?
Authors: Popa Délia
Published: March 2021

Cette étude revient sur le rapport entre imagination et perception en interrogeant la répétition qui intervient dans l’acte d’imagination. L’analyse de la temporalité propre à l’imagination permet d’observer que cette répétition est solidaire d’un essai toujours renouvelé de rendre présent l’absent. L’hypothèse développée ici est que cette mise en présence opérée par la figurabilité imaginative intervient sur le fond de la perte irrémédiable des contenus réels de notre expérience dans le temps. Fondée dans le souvenir, l’imagination permet de cultiver en rapport avec ces contenus éphémères une forme d’éternité.
