Acoustics of guttural fricatives in Arabic, Armenian, and Kurdish: A case in remote data collection
Authors: Ariyaee Koorosh , Ben-Ammar Chahla , Tahtadjian Talia , Kochotov Alexei
Published: March 2024

Gutturals – uvulars, pharyngeals, and laryngeals – are relatively phonetically under-studied, with previous acoustic investigations being limited to a handful of languages (and mainly Arabic). The goal of this paper is twofold: (i) to provide an acoustic documentation of guttural fricatives /χ,ʁ,(ħ,ʕ),h/ in three under-documented languages/dialects – Emirati Arabic, Iraqi Central Kurdish, and Lebanese Western Armenian, and (ii) through this to test the reliability of remote data collection for the analysis of fricatives. Fifty-nine participants residing in United Arab Emirates, Iraq, and Lebanon (18-21 per language) completed an online audio-recording experiment. Word-initial, -medial, and -final fricatives in real words, embedded in carrier phrases, were measured for four spectral moments, relative intensity, and duration. The results showed consistent place and voicing differences in all three languages. Specifically, center of gravity and standard deviation of fricative noise were higher for uvulars and lower for pharyngeals and /h/. Voicing was consistently distinguished by duration, among other variables. Some positional and gender differences were also observed. Overall, the results obtained for fricatives in three languages are remarkably similar to those previously reported for Arabic and other languages, providing evidence for shared acoustic properties of gutturals, as well as confirming the validity of the remote audio recording method.

Authors: Soto-David Mauricio , Pinzón Juan P. , Ramírez-Morillo Ivón M. , Ramírez-Díaz Claudia J. , Raigoza Néstor
Published: March 2024

Background: Previous phylogenetic analyses suggested that Aechmea bracteata is not a monophyletic species, being each variety an individual lineage within the Aechmea bracteata complex.

Hypothesis: A phylogenetic analysis based on molecular data and a morphological analysis will provide evidence to support the taxonomic recognition of A. bracteata var. pacifica as a distinct species.

Studies species: A. bracteata var. bracteata, A. bracteata var. pacifica and related species.

Study site and dates: Mexico to Northern South America; 17 populations from Southeastern and Western Mexico. Analyses were performed between 2021 and 2023.

Methods: A linear morphometric analysis was conducted with 85 herbarium specimens testing 28 quantitative and three qualitative variables. Potential diagnostic traits were reviewed in living specimens. A phylogenetic analysis was performed with two nDNA markers (ETS and g3pdh) and one cpDNA marker (trnL-F). A total of 373 records were projected into biogeographical provinces of the Neotropics.

Results: The morphometric analysis allowed to separate each variety into a group, also, nine of the evaluated traits resulted statistically significant through a univariate analysis. Five additional diagnostic traits from the inflorescence and leaves were recognized. According to nDNA both taxa present reciprocal monophyly, however, cpDNA groups A. bracteata var. pacifica with Central American species, showcasing a potential hybrid origin. Geographically, the Sierra Madre del Sur acts as a barrier between both taxa.

Conclusions: Due to the gathered evidence is possible to recognize A. bracteata var. pacifica as an endemic species to Mexico, reestablishing the basionym A. laxiflora.

Published: March 2024

Background: The chloroplast genomes of Cactaceae exhibit boundary modifications in the inverted repeat regions (IRs), gene inversions, and deletions. Among nine Mammillaria species, three distinct chloroplast structures have been identified, although not all of these correspond to the morphology-based classification of the genus.

Question: Is there a distinct chloroplast genome structure in the species of Mammillaria series Stylothelae?

Studied species: Mammillaria bocasana and M. erythrosperma.

Study site and dates: Mexico from 2019 to 2023.

Methods: Chloroplast DNA was sequenced, and chloroplast genomes were de novo assembled using the Fast-Plast program. Complete plastome sequences were annotated and verified. The sequences were aligned in MAUVE program to detect possible structural changes. A maximum likelihood phylogeny was executed to evaluate the relationships of the studied species.

Results: The plastomes ranged from 107,368 bp in Mammillaria bocasana to 108,069 bp in M. erythrosperma. Both presented a quadripartite structure and contained 108 genes. The IRs were ~ 1,600 bp long and included the genes rpl2, rpl23 (pseudo), and trnI-CAU. MAUVE identified a ~ 21 kb inversion in the large single copy containing a block of genes related to photosynthesis. The phylogenetic analysis placed both species in a single clade separated from the other species within Mammillaria subg. Mammillaria.

Conclusions: The studied species of Mammillaria series Stylothelae exhibited a different and synapomorphic chloroplast genome structure. Other Mammillaria chloroplast genome structures have evolved independently in different lineages.

Published: March 2024

Рассмотрена проблема синтеза системы прямого управления моментом синхронного двигателя с постоянными магнитами (СДПМ) с поиском минимума тока статора и проверкой ее работоспособности на математической модели электропривода. Для достижения поставленной цели использованы методы теории электропривода, теории автоматического управления и компьютерного моделирования. Приведена математическая модель СДПМ на базе эквивалентной схемы замещения в координатных осях dq, учитывающая потери в стали статора, постоянных магнитах ротора, насыщение магнитной цепи и влияние температуры обмоток статора и магнитов ротора. Приведены статические зависимости тока статора и суммарных потерь мощности от потокосцепления статора для двух типов СДПМ. Для системы прямого управления моментом синтезирована адаптивная система поиска и поддержания минимального значения тока статора СДПМ, нечувствительная к изменениям параметров схемы замещения. Получены результаты моделирования разработанной системы, подтвердившие ее адекватность и работоспособность. Показано, что уменьшение потокосцепления статора при снижении нагрузки приводит к значительному уменьшению тока статора и суммарных потерь мощности, причем этот эффект в наибольшей степени проявляется для СДПМ с магнитной несимметрией по осям dq. Установлена незначительная разница в значениях потокосцепления статора, обеспечивающих минимумы тока статора и суммарных потерь мощности. Применение синтезированной системы управления позволяет изменять потокосцепление статора таким образом, чтобы обеспечить работу СДПМ с минимальным значением тока, работа контуров момента и частоты вращения СДПМ при этом не нарушается и определяется типом и параметрами их регуляторов.

Authors: Yılmaz Gülnur , Günay Enis
Published: March 2024

Fractional calculus is an effective method used to analyze the dynamics of nonlinear systems and provide more precise results. In this study, firstly, the 4-dimensional Pang system is introduced and its dynamic analyses demonstrating the hyperchaotic structure are given. Then, fractional-order calculations of the system are presented and the dynamics of the system for different fraction orders are investigated. At this point, according to the results obtained from Lyapunov exponents and phase-space representation, the Pang system exhibits periodic, chaotic, and hyperchaotic behaviors in different fractional orders. The results obtained at the end of this study present that the system is hyperchaotic for the fractional order of 3.52 and it is also confirmed that more accurate results are obtained than the integer-order analysis. In the next part of the study, adaptive synchronization of the fractional-order system is performed. Three different cases are examined and it is demonstrated that synchronization is achieved in all cases.

Authors: Khodabocus Sabah , Seyis Senem
Published: March 2024

In modular construction, given the different undertakings compared to conventional construction, the latter deems less risky. However, the current industry is faced with malpractices which are loopholes disabling full capacity performance. There is a noticeable lack of studies specifically analyzing the risk management approaches. This study aims to vigorously analyze all risk management approaches applied in previous projects by compiling qualitative and quantitative content for the eased risk assessment of modular projects. By performing a systematic literature review and meta-analysis, 175 documents were finalized and manually analyzed. Synthesis of the literature was carried out to generate graphs, illustrations, and tabularized content, followed by critical explanation for relevant risk management approaches identified according to risk category and project criteria. Risk management approaches for modular construction were showcased in terms of yearly trends, geographic involvement, keywords mostly encountered, and universities and institutions involvement. Classified risk management approaches were tabularized alongside a research domain targeting technical risk management approaches. Future work scopes were suggested with percentage initiations from analyzed studies. This study is a fundamental steppingstone in broadening knowledge on risk management approaches of modular construction and will aid both academicians and practitioners to get direct insights on current trends with project-oriented results showcased.
The Role of Moral Principles in Resolving Intergenerational Conflicts of Interest
Authors: Hiromitsu Toshiaki
Published: March 2024

With the increase of human power, intergenerational conflicts of interest have emerged as new problems, particularly in terms of environmental and financial sustainability. This study examined the role of moral principles in inducing people to act, taking into account the interests of future generations. A survey was conducted among a representative sample of Japanese citizens to investigate the function of eight moral principles in resolving conflicts in terms of participants’ assessment of the appropriateness of the principles and their willingness to follow them. With respect to the absolute level of the function of moral principles, the results offer some, albeit cautious, promise of a strategy to resolve conflicts through moral principles. Overall, participants responded positively to these principles. Furthermore, the survey revealed that older and more educated individuals responded better. Given their leading roles in society, this finding supports the use of the principles. However, it also suggests that reaching out to those who did not respond to the strategy is challenging. The study revealed that a non-negligible proportion of respondents had only weak responses to any of the principles and that they either needed to be exposed to different principles or provided with different resources to develop sensitivity to moral ideas. The survey also revealed the relative order of principles. Egalitarianism and utilitarianism scored lower, but some principles, including Mill’s harm principle and Scheffler’s argument that the survival of humanity and the world itself has value, scored higher.
"I" within measure
Authors: Gonotskaya Nadezhda V.
Published: March 2024

Modernity provides us with a large number of technologies for self-identification. We meet them both in pseudoscientific discourse (for example: in astrology — natal charts, horoscopes), and scientific, in the field of psychology (classification of personalities by V. Stern, K.G. Jung, A.F. Lazursky, etc.). These technologies for self-identification, personality models are often misunderstood, being identified with the process of self-consciousness. The result of such identification is relativization of the image of the “I”, combination of various situational functions, social roles, character traits in the “I”. The author problematizes such an approach, in which the “I” is substatized, endowed with qualities, just as a thing is endowed with them; separates the concepts of “self-identification” and “self-consciousness”; raises questions related to the possibility of maintaining the continual unity of the “I”, with building the process of constituting the “I” through time. Unlike the procedure of self-identification, which can be modeled, self-consciousness cannot fit into patterns. Self-consciousness is plastic, changeable, rooted in time, but it always belongs to the same “I”.
Ukrainian urban vernacular garden: reconsideration in the conditions of full-scale war
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Butsykina Yevheniia
Published: March 2024

The paper contents a cultural analysis of the vernacular garden as a phenomenon of popular urban culture, as well as the transformation (politicization) of its role and perception in the conditions of martial law. The garden analysed at different levels: individual (gardening is an individual practice of a citizen), local (features of the local community, its values, lifestyle, common practices, problems, etc.), as well as at the level of tradition and culture. Structural analysis of the garden as a multifunctional space allows us to identify individual functions of this phenomenon. After all, by creating a home-made garden, a city dweller satisfies his needs in this way, and not only needs for products, but most often those of a social and cultural nature. The main characteristics of the vernacular garden were revealed: structure, non-utilitarianism, procedure. The main functions of the garden are socio-political, humanitarian, food, aesthetic, educational, unifying, educational, and entertaining. Ukrainian vernacular gardening is compared with other formats of urban gardening, which have a combination of different goals and corresponding functions: "community garden", Victory gardens and guerrilla gardening. In contrast to guerrilla gardening, vernacular gardening does not initially have political intentions – to fight against the state of neglected urban areas, to draw the attention of local citizens to the problems of the district. It was determined that the individual vernacular garden acquires a new meaning in the conditions of martial law: it becomes one of grassroots initiatives, practices of resistance, stability and steadfastness. Vernacular horticulture as an individual grassroots practice is a bright and promising mediator of important social and political processes that Ukrainian society is going through in times of full-scale war. The political aspects of urban vernacular gardening also touch on feminist issues. Usually, women are gardeners, and this fact is worth a separate study, because it is women who implement these practices and, accordingly, changes in the urban landscape, according to their botanical and aesthetic preferences, favourite plants and cultures.
From history of moral culture toward applied ethics: T. G. Abolina's ethical researches at Kyiv university
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Rohozha Mariya , Panchenko Valentyna ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: March 2024

The article is focused on the academic legacy of Tetyana G. Abolina (1950–2015), doctor of philosophical sciences, professor of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Ethics as the science paved the way with difficulties at domestic academic environment in the mid of the previous century. It has been transforming from the marxist-leninist propaganda toward moral theory. The ability of a professional ethicist to find one's own path in the field and create personal intellectual niche for academic activity testified the uprise of the worthy of attention theorist. Thus, the 'star' of T. G. Abolina had flared. For 37 years at the University Department of Ethics, Aesthetics and Culture Studies she had come the path from marxist-leninist ethics primarily toward research of history of moral culture in the context of socio-cultural dynamics. Moral culture was comprehended by prof. T. G. Abolina as the system of person's self-affirmation which possessed internal structure and was changing at every level of cultural-historical process in its main and specific characteristics and definite historical forms. Moral culture was understood in integrity of all aspects of practical reason, exposed specifics of historical forms, their internal structure and natural integrity. Last fifteen years of her life, prof. T. G. Abolina came to the theory of applied ethics and ethical expertise in definite fields of social life. She considered applied ethics as the procedure of morally-ethical thinking that is the natural synthesis of theory and practice, immediate usage of theory in practice. The article pays attention to Abolina's understanding of ethical expertise of social projects and practical potentiality of ethical projects in the field of public philosophy as well as ethics application to social practice and her personal 'applied turn' and activities she initiated at that way. The paper deals with the analysis of her personal monograph "Historical Destiny of Morality. Philosophical Analysis of Moral Culture" (1992), her PhD (1982) and doctoral (1999) dissertations. Prof. T. G. Abolina delivered special courses at the faculty of philosophy, which reflected her academic search at each period of time. Main ideas of her courses "Ideas of the New Ethics in the Spiritual Culture of the 20th Century" and "Evil and Fiction" are analyzed in the article.
Transcendental foundations of ethics: from metaphysics of moral subject to 'transcendentalia' as supreme values
Authors:   Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics, Kyiv, Ukraine, Morozov Andriy
Published: March 2024

The article explores the transcendental conditions of the possibility of the Self as a subject of moral consciousness and ethical relations between the Self and the Other. The postmodern methodology of deconstruction of onto-theo-teleo-phallo-logo-centrism, which theoretically makes ethics impossible, is subject to criticism. The need to return to the transcendental way of philosophizing, and in particular – the metaphysics of essence, is substantiated. An ethical relationship appears when the pole of the essential is realized as the pole of the proper. The article deals with the structure of substance, which consists of matter and form, possibility and actuality. The self is a mental projection of a substance as a metaphysical principle, just as the dot we use in geometry is a graphic projection of a metaphysical principle that has no quantitative parameters (length, width, height, weight, temporal characteristics). Human substance as the whole, by definition, is greater than the mechanical sum of accidents. It acts as their inner principle of existence and organization, without which they would not have formed the unity of this particular finite human person. Anti-metaphysical philosophers criticized the concept of substance as something that is not accessible to our ordinary sensory observation. Substance is never given in sense perception alone. However, this does not prove that such a concept has no real basis. On the contrary, it convinces us that our experience consists not only of sensuously perceived, but also of spiritual-intuitive knowledge. The origin of such a concept as a substance is rooted in real personal experience. It is noted that the classical metaphysical philosophical tradition, contrary to widespread clichés, emphasizes the primacy of existence over essence. Being is the basis of being, the logical and ontological constitutive principle of its existence. Transcendentalia – unity, truth and goodness – are interpreted as value poles of attraction, or attractors. Being is understood as a sacred gift to man, which we will to know in its truth and goodness. The ethical aspect of knowledge-will is benevolence, respect for the value of being as a priori good. Benevolence is the foundation of love as a selfless attitude towards the identity and unconditional value of the spiritual and personal existence of the Other. It means substantively objective, open attitude towards the world.
Justifying political choice: from probability and institutions to communication
Authors: Smorgunov L.V.
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the dynamics of development of concepts that justify political choice. There is a general turn from the moral justification of political choice to ontological concepts based on the ideas of pragmatic and impartial behavior in the search for criteria for the “correct” decision, which includes the truth and the institutions that ensure it. The epistemic concept of democracy, based on Condorcet's jury theorem, defines the possibility of achieving the correct choice through majority rule voting, implies a competent, independent and sincere voter, which ensures an increase in the probability of the correct choice. The expansion of the composition of participants in political choice increased the role of diversity of knowledge and opinions in the justification, which led to the concept of the “smart plurality”, which ensures the correct choice is made by reducing its overall error through random mass participation. The development of social networks and their argumentative function in disputes have contributed to the transition to the concepts of argumentative networks that ensure the correct option is selected through communication. The identified dynamics allow us to conclude that the concept of politics is reviving its importance as a reasoning.
The effect of “falsification of preferences”: the rise and fall of mass support for M.S. Gorbachev
Authors: Babich N.S.
Published: March 2024

In difficult political situations, such as the one in which Russia finds itself today, the public support of incumbent leaders is of particular importance. But how real is this support, to what extent can it really be relied upon? The answer to this question can be found, among others, by referring to the experience of leaders who have faced a rise and fall of their popularity. In recent Russian history the experience of M.S. Gorbachev is valuable. According to the traditional view, he was a politician who enjoyed the sincere support of the population in the first half of his time in power, but lost it due to unsuccessful reforms in the end. This article is devoted to an empirical verification of this thesis. First, we substantiate the competing hypothesis of Gorbachev's initial lack of wide popularity in Soviet society, then use a comparative analysis of public opinion polls, to provide evidence for this hypothesis. The study, based on empirical material of sociological research, confirms the thesis that M.S. Gorbachev was not popular among the bulk of the Soviet population even during the period when he received high ratings in public opinion polls. Their sharp fall in June 1990 is much better explained not by the gradual disappointment of the population, but by the fact that the adoption of the Declaration on the Sovereignty of the RSFSR made visible the loss of power by the “union center”. The body of evidence presented in the article allows us to assert that the high ratings of M.S. Gorbachev were the result of the insincerity of the respondents rather than the true attitude towards the head of state.

Yayla ve meralar genellikle doğal yollarla oluşan bitki topluluklarıdır. Yapılan tahmini hesaplamalara göre, mera ekosistemleri dünya topraklarının yaklaşık %50' sini kapsamakta ve dünyadaki hayvanların yem ihtiyacının büyük bir kısmını karşılamaktadır. Yapılan çalışma ile, 2018 yılında yürürlüğe giren ve halk arasında imar barışı olarak adlandırılın 7143 sayılı yasanın, mera ve yayla alanlarında oluşabilecek kaçak yapılaşmaya olan etkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışma alanı olarak Trabzon ili Akçaabat ilçesi sınırları içerisinde yer alan mera ve yaylalar seçilmiştir. Çalışmada Google Earth Pro programından elde edilen uydu görüntüleri ile Triplesat uydu görüntüleri kullanılarak zaman içerisinde meydana gelen kontrolsüz yapılaşma tespit edilmiştir. 1. çalışma bölgesinde 33 ve 2. çalışma bölgesinde 50 olmak üzere toplam 83 yeni yapının bu süre içerisinde yapıldığı belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar halen bu alanlarda kaçak yapılaşmanın devam ettiğini, denetlenme sürecinin hızlı ve etkili bir suretle yapılamadığını ve çıkarılan bu af niteliğindeki yasaların kaçak yapılaşmayı teşvik ettiğini göstermektedir.

In this study, various composites were prepared from synthetic wastes with oxidized polyolefin (OxPO) and the mechanical (elongation, elasticity, tensile strength, etc.) of these composites.) and discusses the results of an experimental study on its thermal characterization. The oxidized polyolefin/Styrene (St) mixture was infused with the melt free radical polymerization method on recycled polypropylene (rPP). The effect of the initial monomer concentration on the mechanical properties of recycled polypropylene was investigated. The mechanical (elongation and tensile strength) properties of the composites produced were made according to the ISO 527-2 standard method. It has been observed that the tensile strength and elongation, which are the mechanical properties of (OxPO/St)/rPP composites, increase compared to RPP. The resulting polymers were then characterized by Fourier transformational infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

Pulses are an important component of the agricultural production system, providing high-quality food to millions of people worldwide. Among pulses, lentil is an annual and self-pollinated crop known to be its high proteins, amino acids, dietary fibers and low fat in the world. In the current study, the characterization of 44 lentil genotypes was performed using SDS-PAGE (Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) technique. The protein bands were scored according to a binary system as the present (1) or absent (0) that ranged 12-20 bands in lentil genotypes. The Jaccard’s coefficient of genetic dissimilarity (GD) was measured, and the mean GD was 0.216. Maximum genetic distance was found as 0.526 between Syria2 with Iraq3 and these genotypes might be recommended for future lentil breeding. AMOVA explored the presence of higher genetic variety within genotypes (83%) than among genotypes (17% variations). STRUCTURE algorithm separated lentil genotypes into two groups mainly on the basis of their geographic. The UPGMA clustering separated lentil genotypes into two main clusters A and B. The PCoA was also conducted to confirm the results of structure and UPGMA analyses. Findigs from the PCoA and structure analyses were in full agreement with those obtained by UPGMA. The results might be useful for researchers worldwide who are interested in lentil breeding.

In this paper, we first provide a summary of certain results related to the differential geometry of ruled surfaces. Next, we introduce the signature curve for ruled surfaces in Euclidean three-space. Additionally, we present a straightforward algorithm for the reconstruction of a ruled surface, which is both efficient and entirely local, requiring only the initial motion direction and starting point. Finally, we illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm through several examples.

Bu makalede, öncelikle regle yüzeylerin diferesiyel geometrisi ile ilgili bazı sonuçların bir özetini sunuyoruz. Daha sonra, Öklid üç uzayında regle yüzeyler için işaret eğrisini tanıtıyoruz. Ek olarak, bir regle yüzeyin yeniden yapılandırılması için hem verimli hem de tamamen yerel olan, yalnızca ilk hareket yönü ve başlangıç noktası gerektiren basit bir algoritma sunuyoruz. Son olarak, algoritmanın verimliliğini ve doğruluğunu birkaç örnekle gösteriyoruz.
The Place of Naïve Realism in Russell’s Changing Accounts of Perception
Authors: Stubenberg Leopold
Published: March 2024

In this paper I describe the place of naive realism in Russell’s changing accounts of perception. I argue ‎for the following conclusions: (1) The early period, 1898-1910: I am inclined to think that the naïve ‎realism that Russell embraced so enthusiastically early on may not have been intended as a naïve ‎realism about perception, but as a metaphysical or semantical thesis. (2) The Problems of Philosophy ‎‎(1912): Russell abandons naïve realism (if, in fact, he ever held it) and presents a sense-datum version ‎of representative realism.  (3) “On Matter” (1912): here we see Russell’s best attempt to defend ‎something very close to the standard doctrine of naïve realism. The objects of perception—the ‎‎“everyday material objects such as caterpillars and Cadillacs”—have, of course, undergone severe ‎reconstruction. But the resulting picture does capture the spirit of the doctrine. (4) The period from ‎‎1914 to 1927: though Russell’s thinking about perception underwent some significant changes during ‎this period—the sense datum theory is replaced by neutral monism—I try to show that the ‎distinction between the matter of physics and the thing of common sense is a constant feature of ‎Russell’s changing views. And I suggest that our perceptual relation the thing of common ‎sense (as logically reconstructed by Russell) can usefully be viewed as a limited sort of naïve realism. ‎‎(5) The period after 1927: the thing of common sense no longer features in Russell’s account of our ‎perceptual access to the world. The things we perceive are percepts, located in our private spaces. The ‎only material objects of which these percepts are parts are our brains. All other material objects are ‎beyond our perceptual reach and are accessible only via inference. This is the end of anything ‎resembling the traditional view of naïve realism in Russell’s account of perception. ‎
Aristotle on the Real Object of Philia and Aretē
Authors: Smolak Maciej
Published: March 2024

In the opening remark of Nicomachean Ethics VIII 1 Aristotle notices that the next step would be a discussion of philia, since it is a certain aretē or is associated with aretē (NE VIII 1 1155a 1–2). This article is an attempt to determine how the real object of philia and aretē are related from Aristotle’s point of view. The author performs a study into two sections. The first section is focused on the analysis of aretē and its various types, in particular the human one. The second section is concentrated on the typology of philia, namely friendship and its particular kinds. The author shows that the relation between philia and aretē can be described in two ways: if both philia and aretē play the crucial role in leading a eudaimonic life, then philia is the aretological friendship and aretē—the human one, namely the whole consists of the aretē of character in the full sense and the practical wisdom on condition that the aretological friends equate eudaimonia with life focused on the political or practical activity, or even of the theoretical wisdom, providing that they identify it with the highest form of eudaimonic life, that is, the theoretical one. If, however, philia is to be a term said in many ways (pleonachōs legetai) and aretē is to be understood in a broad sense, that is, as “being good at something”, then philia can signify every kind of friendship, namely the aretological, the hedonistic and the utilitarian one, whereas aretē—qualification or skill that makes these friendships perform their functions well. The first possibility is that the relation between philia and aretē is limited to the aretological friendship at the expense of narrowing the meaning of aretē to the human one. The second possibility is that every kind of friendship is considered as the functional thing and, in consequence, defined by their proper function. From this point of view, all friendships are accompanied by appropriate aretai, namely by qualifications or skills that guarantee the perfect fulfillment of their proper function and, therefore, the achievement of the set goal by two persons in question.

Introduction: Alopecia Areata (AA) is one of the most common form of hair loss seen in dermatology. Treatment failures can occur with almost every conventional therapy, either singly or in combination. Aims and Objectives: To study the clinical profiles and management outcome of Liquid Nitrogen Cryotherapy (LNC) for the treatment of unresponsive cases of AA. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on five patients who showed no response to conventional topical treatment for six months. The subjects were enrolled in the study after written consent. Clinical photographs were recorded at each visit. Patients were given 3-5 sittings of LNC at 2 week intervals. Each session consisted of dual freeze thaw cycles of 15 seconds each, with a cryospray technique following application of topical anaesthetic cream. Suitable antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents were prescribed post-operatively for five days. The clinical response was evaluated by using regrowth scale at 4th week and 8th week. Final end point evaluation of patient post 3 months after the last treatment session was done to observe sustained regrowth of hair. Results: Five patients were recruited, out of which three patients showed an excellent response, 1 each had a satisfactory response and a fair response respectively. Commonly seen adverse effects were slight pain, erythema, edema, erosion, crusting, dyspigmentation/hypopigmentation, which were transient and did not require withdrawal of treatment. Conclusion: Liquid Nitrogen Cryotherapy is a cheaper, easily available with transient adverse effects and can be worth trying in unresponsive Alopecia Areata.
