Formatting a questionnaire for the quality control of river bank roads
Authors: Salem Zahraa Amad , Ibraheem Asma Thamir
Published: April 2024

The quality control of road implementation on the rim and the strengthening of river edges to prevent road collapses need to be studied and developed continuously. In order to carry out maintenance in a cost-effective manner as much as possible, this research aims to provide a way to reach a better understanding of the quality control of riverbank roads. The study conducted an SWOT questionnaire, which is a means of discovering and evaluating the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in the field of quality control of river bank roads, and it can help in identifying the optimal path to achieve specific goals and improve the quality of roads in these areas and determine the necessary steps to improve performance and quality in general. It also contributes to enhancing joint cooperation between the concerned parties. The type of questionnaire was closed and included two parts: the first part is the personal information of the respondents, and the second part is related to the subject of the study, which in turn includes four basic axes. It relates to the elements of the SWOT tool and includes questions ranging from 1 to 44. Sixty people from different academic levels in Iraq responded to the questionnaire, and the answers were according to a five-point Likert scale. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26 was used for statistical analysis, and the statistical methods used in this study are Cronbach’s alpha test to measure reliability, validity of the test to measure the validity of the research tool, frequencies, and percentages, or what is known as relative frequencies, arithmetic mean, and standard deviation, relative importance index.
Coupling energy management of power systems with energy hubs through TSO-DSO coordination: a review
Authors: Bagherzadeh Leila , Kamwa Innocent , Delavari Atieh
Published: April 2024

The transition towards a sustainable energy system requires the integration of high-penetration renewable energy sources (RESs) and the use of new energy management frameworks to handle RES variability and uncertainty. The evolution of novel energy management technologies has made it possible to design and operate integrated energy systems (IESs) that couple various energy carriers such as electricity, heat, and gas. The emergence of energy hubs (EHs) offers the potential for greater efficiency, reliability, and flexibility in energy supply and demand. However, integrating EHs into the power system operation remains a significant challenge due to the complex interaction between the transmission system operator (TSO), distribution system operator (DSO), and EHs. Enhanced coordination between TSOs and DSOs is of the utmost importance within this context. This paper first aims to review and highlight the most practical features of EHs including the EH concept, topology, elements, classifications, flexibility resources, and optimization approaches. Subsequently, it describes TSO-DSO roles and all concepts that are in line with the aims of this subject, such as conceptual framework, TSO-DSO coordination schemes, formulation, and solution techniques. Meanwhile, it will identify any remaining research gaps and prospective trends in this respect.
Value creation in a learning community: an interprofessional partnership between nursing home care, education and students
Authors: Heemskerk Wendy M. , van der Linden Anna M. T. , Bussemaker Jet , Wallner Christian
Published: April 2024

Objectives

To assess the value created in a learning community – comprised of different professionals and nursing students – at a nursing home.

Methods

A case study approach was used. Data were collected between 2019 and 2021 through self-reports, observations and stories (interviews, diaries).

Results

The template analysis revealed nine transcending themes, six associated with preexisting value-creation cycles (expected, immediate, potential, applied, realized and transformative value) and three other relevant themes: contextual, factors and value-creation initiators.

Conclusions

A nursing home learning community comprised of diverse professionals in partnership with nursing students shows a variety of value creation and seems to potentially leverage interprofessional and lifelong learning activities, on top of formal nursing education. It is recommended to integrate the value-creation cycles into the processes of learning communities to promote collective decision-making. Research on both the final level of students involved and having residents participate in the learning community would be worthwhile.
Paradox pain sensitivity using cuff pressure or algometer testing in patients with hemophilia
Authors: Ransmann Pia , Tomschi Fabian , Schmidt Alexander , Brühl Marius , Hilberg Thomas
Published: April 2024

Introduction

Pain is a common comorbidity in patients with hemophilia (PwH) due to hemophilic arthropathy. This study aims to explore pain sensitivity in PwH methodologically investigating in cuff pressure testing compared to algometer testing.

Methods

37 PwH and 35 healthy control subjects (Con) enrolled in this study. Joint health status was assessed. Subjective pain was evaluated using numeric rating scales. Pain sensitivity was measured with pressure algometry and cuff pressure algometry. Pressure pain thresholds of the algometer (PPTa) were measured at knee, ankle joints, and forehead. Subsequently, thresholds of cuff pressure were measured at the left and right lower legs (PPTcuff). In both, lower values represent higher pain sensitivity.

Results

PwH exerted a worse joint health status than Con. Pain sensitivity was higher in PwH compared to Con as PPTa of the knee and ankle joints were lower in PwH. No difference was observed in PPTa at the forehead. Contrastingly, lower pain sensitivity was detected in PwH by higher PPTcuff values compared to Con in both legs.

Conclusion

While PPTa of the knee and ankle joints are lower in PwH, PPTcuff are higher in PwH compared to Con. This reveals a paradox situation, highlighting that PwH experience local, joint- and hemophilic arthropathy-related pain, whereas pain sensitivity of non-affected soft tissue structures is lower. The reasons explaining the PPTcuff results remain elusive but might be explained by coping strategies counteracting chronic joint pain, resulting in lower sensitivity at non-affected structures.

Byzantine plate and Frankish mines: the provenance of silver in north-west European coinage during the Long Eighth Century (c. 660–820)
Authors: Kershaw Jane , Merkel Stephen W. , D'Imporzano Paolo , Naismith Rory
Published: April 2024

The late seventh-century introduction of silver coinage marked a transformation in the economy of north-west Europe, yet the source(s) of the silver bullion behind this change remains uncertain. Here, the authors use combined lead isotope and trace element analysis of 49 coins from England, Frisia and Francia to provide new insights into north-European silver sources during the ‘long eighth century’ (c. AD 660–820). The results indicate an early reliance on recycled Byzantine silver plate, followed by a shift c. AD 750 to newly mined metal from Francia. This change indicates the strong role of the Carolingian state in the control of metal sources and economic structures across the North Sea zone.
Self-Hatred: The Unaddressed Symptom of Borderline Personality Disorder
Authors: Wilner Julianne G. , Ronzio Blake , Gillen Carly , Aguirre Blaise
Published: April 2024

Individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) often report chronic, severe self-hatred. It is frequently experienced as immutable, seen as a barrier to recovery, and is associated with risk for self-injury and suicide attempts. Yet self-hatred remains a poorly understood, underdiagnosed, and undertreated presentation of BPD. In this concept article and review, we describe the nature of self-hatred in BPD and related disorders, propose a theory as to the development of self-hatred in BPD, review the assessments of and interventions for self-hatred, and consider next steps in the research, assessment, and treatment of self-hatred in BPD. Through increased awareness, understanding, and measures of self-hatred in BPD, new treatment paradigms can be developed to ensure more comprehensive recovery.
Working for the Emperor at Antium: Profession and Prestige in the Fasti Antiates Ministrorum Domus Augustae
Authors: Swetnam-Burland Molly
Published: April 2024

The Fasti Antiates Ministrorum Domus Augustae, a large inscription associated with the imperial villa at Antium, is best known for its iteration of the Augustan calendar. In this article, I reassess the fasti in their entirety, focusing on their manner of display and social function. I place special emphasis on the section of the inscription, largely overlooked, that contains the annual records of magistrates who led the voluntary association that commissioned the inscription, a detailed record of two decades of local history. The association revealed in these records worked to bestow honors on its members, offering them prestige within and beyond the household, and also acted to censure them. Because the fasti identify most magistrates by job title, they also provide invaluable information about the villa’s workforce, composed of enslaved people and freedmen; the document provides a valuable counterpoint to other testimonia for occupations, largely funerary. Manual laborers and domestics appear with greater frequency in the fasti than they do in occupational inscriptions from funerary contexts, while administrators, abundant in funerary contexts, form a minority. Importantly, the magistrates’ list reveals that the association was a group in which the “sub-clerical grades” of imperial slaves and freedmen could accrue prestige and wield authority as readily as their overseers. In the community reflected in the fasti, power derived not from job status within a workplace hierarchy, but from social standing among peers—acquired and maintained (or lost) over decades of service.
Homer and the Simile at Sea
Authors: Purves Alex
Published: April 2024

In this paper I consider ways in which seawater––both on its surface and in its depths––opens up alternative forms of thought and expression in Homer, especially with respect to the body. By tracking the relationship between body and simile as it is mediated by the surface of the sea, I argue that water emerges as an especially mobile and adaptive medium for expressing the transformation that takes place between self and simile in Homer. In the Iliad, similes are well-known for bringing weather, waves, and other aspects of the natural environment into the poem, whereas in the Odyssey those aspects more often introduce similes of their own. I offer a reading of the shipwreck scene in Odyssey 5 to suggest that the body’s struggle to stay afloat is matched there, on a formal level, by the role of waves in drawing simile and body to the sea’s surface. I then address a different kind of figurative language (closer to metaphor and associated with grief) that takes place in the depths, through readings of scenes in Books 18 and 24 of the Iliad and Archilochus fragment 13.
Captain Sisko and Me
Authors: Calafell Bernadette Marie
Published: April 2024

This essay uses autoethnography and performative writing to explore the role Captain Benjamin Sisko of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has played in my life as a fatherless daughter. I ruminate on specific moments of the show and Sisko’s fatherhood, at times rewriting my own fragmented and painful histories with my “father.” This allows for spaces of agency and possibility for me as a Chicana fatherless daughter. Furthermore, this essay offers us a space to consider the role of popular culture and para-social relationships not only in autoethnography, but for healing interpersonal hurts.

Published: April 2024

Hirschsprung’s disease (HD) is uncommon, and most of the cases occur in neonates. It is rarely diagnosed during adolescence, and even fewer cases are documented. We present the case of a 16-year-old male who had 15 days of constipation, anorexia, postprandial vomiting and abdominal distension. Imaging examinations showed a massive fecaloma obstructing the colon, and histopathological examinations showed HD. Given the failure of conservative evacuation measures, an extended left hemicolectomy and colostomy were performed, plus appendectomy for bowel obstruction. The patient was discharged with antibiotic therapy. This case highlights the importance of considering HD in adolescents with chronic constipation and abdominal masses. Although patients may experience postoperative problems, surgery is the most effective treatment for HD.
Residencia de Medicina Física y Rehabilitación en el Perú: número de vacantes y análisis de los planes de estudios
Authors: De la Cerna-Luna Roger , Taype-Rondan Alvaro
Published: April 2024

Introduction. In Peru there is a shortage of physiatrists, and the standards for the training of specialists in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) have not been updated since 2002. There are no studies that have focused on this problem. Objectives. To describe the number of PM&R positions and analyze the PM&R residency programs’ curriculums. Methods. Descriptive observational study. We reviewed the number of PM&R positions offered in the 2017-2022 period. Likewise, we collected the variables of interest from the curriculums that offer this residency program, including the approach of 30 basic competencies recommended by the International Society of PM&R (ISPRM). Results. During the 2017-2022 period, 11 universities offered 283 PM&R positions, of which 89.4% corresponded to the city of Lima. The number of positions showed a downward trend from 2018 to 2021. 7/11 curriculums addressed at least 75% of the basic competencies recommended by the ISPRM, and none of them addressed 100% of these competencies. In addition, we found heterogeneity between universities respect to the theoretical courses taught, the number of academic credits and the external rotations allowed. Conclusions. In Peru, the number of PM&R positions decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite its crucial role in caring for the affected population and the shortage of physiatrists. No curriculum includes all the basic competencies recommended by ISPRM, highlighting the need to update and restructure them.
Displasia mesenquimal placentaria
Authors: Romero Rojas Nery , Villar Chamorro Aurora
Published: April 2024

Placental mesenchymal dysplasia is a rare entity, confused with ultrasound and macroscopy with partial mole due to vesicular lesions and the presence of a fetus. Microscopy reveals hydropic trunk villi with great mesenchymal hyperplasia and prominent vascular lesions but without hyperplasia of the trophoblastic epithelium. The fetus, usually female, may be normal or present malformations, tumors or chromosomopathies. We present the study of four cases of placental mesenchymal dysplasia; three first-pregnancies, aged 39 and 20, and a second-pregnancy, aged 26. The oldest in the third trimester presented with preeclampsia and a female stillbirth with pulmonary and splenic anomalies, the other two presented vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain and one case was a finding in prenatal control at 8 weeks of gestation. In three cases, fetus and embryo were observed, two of them had a necropsy.

Introduction. In Peru, the tele-triage system (TTS) led by volunteer students allowed for the remote identification of suspected COVID-19 cases. However, the barriers and facilitators of its implementation are still unknown. Objectives. To describe the barriers and facilitators regarding the implementation of a tele-triage system for the identification of suspected COVID-19 cases in Peru. Methods. A mixed-methods study was developed that described the characteristics of the users who participated in the TTS (quantitative). It also explored the perceptions of users and volunteers regarding the barriers and facilitators of implementing this service (qualitative). Results. Among the 4,317 users evaluated by the TTS, the average age was 36.2 years (standard deviation: 13.2), 58.6% were women, and only 41.4% were classified as suspected cases of COVID-19. Volunteers highlighted that their participation was facilitated by their availability of time and desire to help, although they noted problems with organization and a lack of equipment available for calls. Users valued the emotional support and clarity of the information provided but expressed mistrust about the remote COVID-19 assessment, and a limited understanding of the volunteers’ role. Conclusions. The TTS led by volunteer students allowed for the identification of suspected COVID-19 cases in Peru, and also served as a means to share information. However, aspects of disorganization and a lack of knowledge on the part of users were perceived as barriers to its implementation.
Adaptación cultural al español del Perú y validación psicométrica de un instrumento para medir el alfabetismo científico en estudiantes de medicina
Authors: Romaní-Romaní Franco
Published: April 2024

Introduction. Scientific literacy comprises skills to explain phenomena scientifically, evaluate science and interpret its results. Validated tools in different languages are needed to ensure their correct measurement. Objective. To adapt and validate, to Peruvian Spanish, an instrument to measure scientific literacy skills in medical students. Methods. The cultural adaptation of the Test of Scientific Literacy Skills (TOSLS) into Spanish had six steps. First, an independent, simultaneous translation from English into Spanish was performed. Then, both translations were synthesised and back-translated, followed by comparison with the original version and back-translation. This was followed by a pilot test and a cross-sectional study with medical students in Lima, Peru. The last step involved psychometric evaluation using the Rasch model. The instrument consisted of 28 multiple-choice questions with only one correct answer. Results. 300 students were enrolled. The Kuder-Richadson coefficient was 0.742. The items showed unidimensionality and local independence (MADaQ3 = 0.054). Item 12 was the most difficult, while item 5 was the easiest. The infit and outfit statistics of the items were in the range of 0.7 to 1.3 logits. The test information function provided information with greater precision at skill levels between -1 and 0 logits. There was a correspondence between item difficulty and scientific literacy ability. Conclusion. The Spanish version retained the 28 items of the original TOSLS and had acceptable internal consistency. The items had acceptable properties, independently of students’ scientific literacy ability.

Published: April 2024

Introduction. The Toll-like receptor (TLR) interacting with the promastigote of Leishmania spp. determines the cellular activation pathway. Objective. To determine the transcriptional expression of TLR-3, TLR-4, TLR-9, IL-12 and TNF-α in macrophages infected with a native strain of L. braziliensis (Lbn). Materials and Methods. Identification of Lbn was performed by qPCR for kinetoplast DNA sequences. Mouse peritoneal macrophages were infected with promastigotes (MI) and nitric oxide (NO) production was measured; transcript levels for TLRs and cytokines were quantified by qRT-PCR. Results. Lbn showed 96% homology to L. braziliensis. High ON production was observed in IMs at 2 h; significant transcriptional expression especially of TLR-3 and TLR-9, which corresponded with expression for cytokines. Conclusions. Lbn strongly activated macrophages via endosomal TLRs, which can be applied in the design of agonists to treat the disease.

We present the experience of the Polyclinic of the Peruvian American Medical Society (PAMS) in Chincha, in the execution of medical educational missions in the Chincha region. The PAMS Polyclinic provides general and specialized medical care to the population of the area, six days a week. In addition, the Polyclinic receives medical missions generally coming from the EE.UU. Since 2011, we have received 43 medical missions. The composition and nature of the missions have changed over time. The first years attracted specialists with the emphasis on bringing equipment and supplies to improve the infrastructure of the Polyclinic. We are now limited by the reluctance of volunteers to come to Peru in part because the U.S. government considers travel to Peru to be high-risk. This limitation has given us the opportunity to do medical missions together with two excellent Peruvian universities. This experience has been positive.
Asymmetry, but where? Terms of address in pet-, infant-, and child-directed speech in Turkish
Authors: Ketrez F. Nihan
Published: April 2024

Terms of address in Turkish spontaneous pet-, infant-, and child-directed speech were compared in terms of the proportion of diminutive and hypocoristic morphemes attached to various types of bases. The goal of the study was to see whether there was any difference in their distribution in different addressee groups that could be attributed to the asymmetrical communication in pet-directed speech. The results showed that, in Turkish, a language poor in diminutives and hypocoristics, the asymmetry is not observed in the distribution of diminutive and hypocoristic forms. It is observed, however, in the morphopragmatic expression of endearment in general that included the possessive morphology, which seemed to be an alternative form used instead of diminutives and hypocoristics or along with them.
Opacité et Intermédialité chez le cinéma de Marguerite Duras

Published: April 2024

Le cinéma de Marguerite Duras, notamment ses films des années 1970, s’oppose au cinéma grand public à travers plusieurs procédés, tel que celui de briser l’illusion réaliste et référentielle, ou le principe de transparence. Par exemple, l’apparition du matériel de tournage dans la mise en scène, ou la caméra, met en évidence l’opacité de son cinéma. Nous proposons donc d’interroger le cinéma durassien selon ses procédés dysnarratifs, ainsi que son rapport de nature intermédiale avec la littérature.

Self-efficacy and well-being of female teacher educators for early childhood care and education during COVID-19
Authors: Clasquin-Johnson Mary G. , Ebrahim Hasina B.
Published: April 2024

In light of the devastating effects of COVID-19 on early childhood care and education (ECCE), with this study we aimed at illuminating the self-efficacy and well-being of ECCE teacher educators, from the perspective of 9 participants in 7 higher education institutions (HEIs) across 5 South African provinces. The study, conducted by 2 ECCE teacher educators, was informed by the feminist ethics of care, combined with Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory, to understand self-efficacy, and Seligman’s PERMA (positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning and accomplishments) theory of well-being. Semi-structured, online interviews using Microsoft Teams was used to produce the data. The findings reveal aspects that compromised self-efficacy and well-being, as well as aspects that energised them. All the participants reported that their institutions were under-prepared for the pandemic. They recognised that they lacked work-life balance and were at risk of burnout. Despite this, their resilience enabled them to develop a deeper interest and stronger commitment to their work, largely because of the support they had received from their colleagues. From the findings of the study we recognise that strong self-efficacy sustained teacher educators’ professional practice despite the pandemic affecting their well-being in a negative way. In the context of building forward better and differently, this study points to the importance of developing responsive well-being programmes for staff in higher education institutions and communities of practice that are responsive to the needs of female teacher educators.
ESTRATEGIAS LÚDICAS APLICADAS PARA EL APRENDIZAJE DE LA ACENTUACIÓN Y TILDACIÓN EN EL NIVEL PRIMARIO
Authors: Ramos Gloria Isabel Tapia , Relaiza Héctor Raúl Santa María
Published: April 2024

Conocer los procedimientos didácticos que favorezcan adquirir de forma correcta el uso de la acentuación gráfica mediante el juego resulta muy relevante a nivel educativo para el niño. El objetivo del presente artículo es establecer la importancia de las estrategias lúdicas aplicadas para el aprendizaje de acentuación y tildación en el nivel primario. Para ello fue realizada una revisión sistemática de documentos y para el proceso de búsqueda se siguió la metodología PRISMA. El registro consistió en la revisión de documentos en Latindex, Dialnet, Scopus, SciELO y Elsevier, cuyo lapso de publicación se encuentre entre 2019 y 2023, como palabras clave fueron consideradas: estrategias, juegos, acentuación, primaria y ortografía, encontrándose 80 manuscritos en idioma español e inglés, de los cuales 30 fueron escogidos conforme a los criterios de inclusión. Los documentos afines a la revisión realizada muestran la importancia de introducir el juego como estrategia didáctica para conseguir que el estudiante de primaria aprenda a tildar y acentuar correctamente. Se concluye que, aunque las estrategias lúdicas de manera aislada no garantizan el aprendizaje integral respecto a competencias de acentuación y tildación, sí constituyen herramientas esenciales para alcanzar dicho aprendizaje.

El artículo revisa los puntos de encuentro entre las prácticas discursivas y las prácticas pedagógicas en la formación docente, la cual se deriva de un proyecto interinstitucional sobre Prácticas Discursivas sobre la Alta Dirección y los Servicios Educativos y su incidencia en las Políticas Educativas e Institucionales en Colombia y América Latina. El objetivo general de la investigación fue develar los constructos predominantes en relación con las prácticas discursivas y las categorías subyacentes en los artículos de revistas latinoamericanas indexadas en Scielo, Scopus y Web of Science, entre 2018 y 2022, en relación con el campo de la educación. Para ello, se propuso una revisión sistemática hermenéutico-comprensiva. Para la cual, se construyó una fórmula que permitió identificar los elementos selectivos necesarios para conformar el corpus; dicha fórmula fue aplicada en las bases de datos seleccionadas y se llevó a cabo una delimitación más precisa con colaboración de tres expertos a través de la herramienta Rayyan. Para la sistematización, se diseñó una matriz de múltiple-entrada.  La codificación selectiva permitió obtener dos categorías: Las prácticas discursivas en constante tensión por el lenguaje, el discurso y el poder, y la formación docente como una construcción histórica, contextual y discursiva, permitiendo identificar la influencia de las perspectivas epistemológicas en su consolidación conceptual.
INFLUENCE OF SPRAY DISTANCE ON THE POROSITY OF Ni-BASED AMORPHOUS COATINGS: NUMERICAL SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENT
Authors: Wang Rui , Wang Deming , Wu Nianchu
Published: April 2024

The influence of injection distance on the porosity of Ni-based amorphous coatings (AMCs) prepared with a high-velocity air fuel (HVAF) process is discussed based on a numerical analysis and experimental methods. A computational fluid dynamics model was established to demonstrate the gas flow field and behavior of particles in flight at different spraying distances during HVAF spraying. When analyzing the changes in the particle velocity and temperature, the spraying distance is less than 30 µm. The velocity and temperature changes of small particles have a significant impact, and the optimal spray distance (350 mm) for obtaining a low porosity coating is predicted. The calculation was validated experimentally by producing a Ni-based AMC with a low porosity (1.87 %) that was manufactured using the predicted HVAF optimal spraying distance.

To improve the welding quality of resistance spot welding joints of steel/aluminum lightweight structures, the steady magnetic field-assisted resistance spot welding method was used to weld 444 ferritic stainless steel and 6082 aluminum alloy, both with a thickness of 1 mm. Under the same welding parameters, the effect of a magnetic field on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the joint was analyzed. It was found that the Lorentz force generated by the addition of a magnetic field promoted the circumferential movement of the molten metal in the nugget zone, increased the size of the Fe/Al contact interface in the joint along the horizontal direction, and made an effective use of the heat generated during resistance spot welding. Although the intermetallic compounds in the intermediate transition layer of the two welded materials were mainly composed of (Fe, Cr, Si)Al2 and (Fe, Cr, Si)Al3, relatively low contents of (Fe, Cr, Si)Al2 and (Fe, Cr, Si)Al3 were found and a there was a significant decrease in the thickness of the intermetallic compound layer when the magnetic field was applied. Compared with the welded joint devoid of a magnetic field, the tensile strength and ductility of the joint were effectively improved, and the dimples in the fracture surface became relatively deep and numerous. In essence, resistance spot welding joints of steel/aluminum obtain better comprehensive mechanical properties when a magnetic field is applied.
Les nombres parfaits chez Mersenne : des mystères pythagoriques à la science et à l’exégèse
Authors: Buccolini Claudio
Published: April 2024

In responding to a question posed by Professor Vincent Carraud regarding a passage in a letter by Etienne Pascal in which he mentions an author who speaks of the mysteries of Pythagorean numbers we have resumed our dossiers on number theory in Mersenne. We have pointed to texts from Mersenne’s correspondence, printed books, and unpublished theological manuscripts between 1638 and 1648 in which the mysteries of the Pythagorean numbers are mentioned with reference to the theory of perfect numbers and with reference to Peter Bongo’s work, which was widespread throughout Europe and particularly in France, De numerorum mysteria (1599 ed. aucta). This has allowed us to provide some indications taken from Mersenne’s unpublished manuscripts in which he addresses the mathematical problem of perfect numbers in exegesis, according to the new dating of his unpublished theological manuscripts that we have established.
Lecture de l’Écriture et écriture des Pensées
Authors: Vermander Benoît
Published: April 2024

Throughout the manuscript of the Pensées and in other writings, Pascal crisscrosses his research on what the art of writing achieves and entails, on the one hand, and on the way to read and interpret the Holy Scriptures, on the other hand. Reading and writing practices are critically interwoven. This article offers a synthesis on Pascal’s reflexive account of such practices. After a summary of previous findings on the subject, it examines Pascal’s approach to (a) the rules that govern scriptural interpretation; (b) the techniques of persuasion; and (c) the way to ground an instituted body, an expression by which we refer to a textual corpus, a political society, or a community of believers.
José Jiménez Lozano. Un lector español de Pascal
Authors: Herrando Carmen
Published: April 2024

The aim of this paper is to describe and analyse the presence of Pascal’s thought in the work of the Spanish writer José Jiménez Lozano (1930-2020). In fact, it could be considered that this writer is almost a kind of Pascal come alive, especially in terms of understanding and experiencing Christianity, since, for both Pascal and Jiménez Lozano, the orientation of the human soul towards God is not only a part of the essence of man but also is his most definitory anthropological constituent.
Pascal au-delà des contrariétés : silence et présence
Authors: Coutagne Marie-Jeanne
Published: April 2024

Pascal places man at the heart of fundamental “contraries”: “Nature has put us so well in the middle that if we change one side of the scale, we also change the other (…). This makes me believe that there are springs in our head, which are so arranged that whoever touches one also touches the opposite”. The “middle” «which has fallen to us in share» can only be understood through the “divine milieu” and the role of a Mediator: this is how the path of a consent “from ourselves to ourselves” is drawn for man. themselves», peace with God, the joy of salvation, the discovery of the truthfulness of the Gospel, the hope of a new life... It is nothing less than a consent to reality, to the end of a difficult crossing, often obscure and noisy open to a silence which is that of the tested, paradoxical Presence “of a God who hides himself”.
O Problema dos Pensadores Artificiais: Um Debate Metafísico
Authors: Luzio Hugo
Published: April 2024

The possibility of artificial intelligence is usually discussed by philosophers as a problem about artificial thought: can an artificial system think? The production of intelligence in an artificial system would, however, give rise to an intelligent artificial being: an artificial thinker. As such, there is another, less explored way of discussing the possibility of artificial intelligence: can there be an artificial thinker? This is the problem of artificial thinkers (Olson 2018). In this essay, I discuss this problem. To do so, first, I present the problem of artificial thinkers and discuss how best to interpret it (section §1). Then, I discuss the three main views on the metaphysical nature of artificial thinkers: the hardware view, according to which artificial thinkers are intelligent artificial systems; the software view, according to which artificial thinkers are types or copies of programs for artificial intelligence; and finally, the CPU perspective, according to which artificial thinkers are intelligent spatial parts of artificial systems (section §2). All of these views have problems regarding their conception of the persistence conditions of artificial thinkers. Even so, I conclude, artificial thinkers are best conceived as functional artificial systems.
Sulla scelta della filosofia secondo Fichte
Authors: Ferraguto Federico
Published: April 2024

The paper offers an interpretation of the thesis developed by Fichte in the Erste Einleitung in die Wissenschaftslehre following “the philosophy one chooses depends on the man one is” as a deepening of symbolic practices and dispositions that philosophy shares with ordinary consciousness. To support this interpretation, the paper describes how Fichte defines individual character formation and how it relates to a historical determinate is presented through a quick excursion in the Nicolaischrift of 1801 (§2). Through a critical and synthetic view of the process of initiation into philosophy, the paper shows how the choice of philosophy is a choice for philosophy (§ 3) and invests a certain “skill” that is produced in the pre-philosophical dimension (§ 4). Through discussion of the Fichtian concepts of “instinct of reason” and “new sensory,” how the choice for philosophy, interpretable as the production of a new habitus, the fichtean doctrine of Science realizes itself fully as ‘critique’ (§ 5).
Neurociencia como didáctica de la Investigación Científica
Authors: Montoya Meléndez José Humberto , De Piérola García Violeta María
Published: April 2024

En la enseñanza para elaborar una tesis universitaria, elegir un tema y planificar la investigación son dos procesos fundamentales porque son la base, en gran parte, del éxito para lograr la culminación de la investigación. De ahí que, el objeto fue advertir que la neurociencia y el incentivo hacia la motivación del investigador permite una mejor elaboración del manuscrito, teniendo clara la viabilidad del proyecto a realizar y a saber valorar cognitivamente el tema que le agrada investigar y de esta manera elaborar el plan para ejecutar la investigación. Metodológicamente corresponde a un estudio de análisis temático original corto de tipo básico. Conclusoriamente, se arriba a percepciones y procesos necesarios y recurrentes. Fracasar en ello conduce a la ocurrencia del síndrome Todo Menos Tesis, es por ello que resulta preferente hoy considerar a la Neurociencia como una didáctica prevalente en la investigación científica.
