Authors: Payung Tappi Verdi
Published: February 2023

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui besarnya kontribusi dari pajak bumi dan bangunan terhadap pajak daerah di Kota Jayapura dan untuk mengetahui besarnya pengaruh kontribusi pajak bumi dan Bangunan terhadap pajak daerah di Kota Jayapura. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dijelaskan bahwa kontribusi pajak bumi dan bangunan terhadap pajak daerah berfluktuatif dan kontribusi terbesar terjadi pada tahun 2011 dengan jumlah kontribusi sebesar 37,40 persen, kemudian disusul pada tahun 2013 dengan kontribusi sebesar 25,68 persen, tahun 2012 sebesar 19,11 persen, tahun 2014 sebesar 15,63 persen dan tahun 2015 sebesar 14,54 persen dan ini merupakan kontribusi terkecil selama kurun waktu 5 tahun terakhir. Walaupun kantribusi yang disumbangkan oleh pajak bumi dan bangunan terhadap pajak daerah dengan berpedoman pada nilai rata-rata kontribusi sebesar 22,47 persen per tahunnya dimana hasil pencapaian ini sudah sangat baik artinya bahwa dari satu item objek pajak daerah dapat memberikan kontibusi sebesar 22,47 persen. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui koefisien korelasi (r) sebesar 0,076 atau 7,60 persen hal ini menunjukkan adanya hubungan antara variabel independen dengan variabel dependen tetapi hubungannya tidak kuat, sedangkan untuk koefisien determinan (r2) sebesar 0,006 atau 0,6 persen hal ini menunjukkan adanya pengaruh antara variabel independen dengan variabel dependen dimana pengaruhnya yang ditimbulkan hanya sedikit artinya bahwa pengaruh pajak bumi dan bangunan belum menampakkan suatu hasil yang menggembirakan ini sebagai akibat dari nilai pajak bumi dan bangunan sebenarnya dari dulu sudah ada sebagai salah satu sumber penerimaan daerah melalui dana perimbangan yang tertuang dalam dana bagi hasil sehingga nilainya pada saat ada pemisahan yang mengacuh pada UU Nomor 28 tahun 2009 belum nampak pengaruh yang ditimbulkan.

Published: February 2023

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis pengaruh anggaran rutin terhadap Akuntabilitas kinerja instansi pemerintah di Kantor Dinas Perindustrian dan Perdagangan Provinsi Papua. Berdasarkan hasil penyebaran kuesioner, dapat diketahui bahwa rata-rata jawaban responden sebagian besar menyatakan setuju dan sangat setuju atas indikator variabel anggaran rutin dalam kaitannya dengan penggunaan anggaran rutin yang digunakan untuk administrasi umum, operasi, dan pemeliharaan, sudah dapat dikatakan baik. Begitu pula dengan variable akuntabilitas kinerja instansi, yang bakitan dengan akuntabilitas kinerja instansi ditinjau dari sisi kredibilitas, akuntabilitas, dan transparansi sudah dapat dikatakan berjalan dengan baik. Dari Hasil penelitian yang penulis lakukan untuk menganalisis pengaruh variabel X dan Y dengan menggunakan analisa regresi linear sederhana dari variabel Anggaran rutin (X) dan Akuntabilitas Kinerja Instansi di Kantor Dinas Perindustrian dan Perdagangan Provinsi Papua (Y) menunjukkan bahwa variabel independen (X) mempunyai hubungan yang kuat terhadap variabel (Y). Sementara untuk pengaruh dari variabel bebas (X) terhadap variabel terikat (Y) ditunjukkan melalui besarnya (R)2 = 0,625 atau 62,5 %, dimana pengaruh anggaran rutin sebesar 62,5% dan sisanya sebesar 37,5 dipengaruhi oleh variabel lain. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan hasil uji-t yang menyatakan bahwa (t-hitung) lebih besar dari (t-tabel). Penyataan ini membuktikan bahwa hipotesis (1) yang menyatakan bahwa anggaran rutin (X) berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap Akuntabilitas Kinerja Instansi di Kantor Dinas Perindustrian dan Perdagangan Provinsi Papua diterima. Namun demikian anggaran rutin diharapkan mempunyai proporsi lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan belanja tidak langsung, karena belanja langsung lebih mengarahkan pada program kegiatan yang telah dipilih dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan kinerja pemerintah dan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Anggaran rutin diharapkan dapat mendorong efektivitas kinerja pemerintah daerah dan percepatan pembangunan.

Official instructions for the primary school class that can be achieved through chess in Poland and France
Authors: Szczepanik-Ninin Magdalena
Published: February 2023

Chess teaching is being introduced in primary schools in the European Union following a 2012 European Parliament recommendation. The author had the experience of introducing chess to pupils in the first class of primary school. She set up an innovative scheme that introduces learners to chess while taking into account the disciplines provided for in the official instructions for this educational stage.In the first part of this article, the “General Curriculum Framework for the Primary School” is related to chess teaching. The author proves that much of the curriculum can be achieved through chess in a lively and diversified way. This approach makes it possible to introduce the general public to chess and, at the same time, to prepare interested and/or gifted individuals for further training. The first class of the primary school is a space of holistic development of the child and cross-curricular teaching can use chess as a canvas.The second part of the article presents the above thesis in light of French legislation. The comparison of the organisation of the teaching provided in the Polish and French school systems allows for determining the hourly volume of a chess project if it were to be conducted in both countries simultaneously. Moreover, the analysis of the French “Programmes d’enseignement” shows many similarities with the Polish guidelines. The specificities of the basic learning cycle are scrutinised and, for the second time, it is shown that chess contributes to the development of most of the competencies specified by the legislator. The author illustrates how to adapt chess lessons to achieve objectives in mathematics, languages, physical and artistic education as well as in the social and technical fields.The article is addressed to all those for whom the harmonious education of 7-year-olds is as dear as the appropriate teaching of chess. It is an invitation to consider chess as a unifying element, opening to the Other.
Tropem mitów i legend. O postaci lazzarona w romantycznej wizji arkadyjskiej
Authors: Wilkoń Teresa
Published: February 2023

W książkach i opracowaniach dotyczących podróży włoskich postać lazzarona pojawia się epizodycznie, częściej natomiast powielany zostaje stereotyp tej postaci w polskiej poezji romantycznej. Autorka artykułu na przykładzie fragmentów utworów Juliusza Słowackiego, Teofila Lenartowicza, Antoniego Edwarda Odyńca oraz późniejszych twórców: Romana Brandstaettera i Tadeusza Różewicza pokazuje sposób funkcjonowania postaci lazzarona w wyobraźni pisarzy–podróżników zwiedzających Italię. Dokonana przez nią analiza wybranych utworów poświęconych Neapolowi i Zatoce Neapolitańskiej przekonuje, że topika, motywy i wątki arkadyjskie obecne w poezji romantycznej są ciągle żywe i oryginalne, a utrwalony w polskiej literaturze topos pogodnego neapolitańczyka stanowi niezbędne dopełnienie arkadyjskiego mitu. Portret lazzarona to dla jednych pewna mistyfikacja, dla innych część neapolitańskiego folkloru, wpisującego się w genius loci tego uroczego i opiewanego przez artystów zakątka Europy.
Założenia interkomprehensji w językach pokrewnych a rozwijanie autonomii studenta w kształceniu językowym
Authors: Grabowska Anna
Published: February 2023

Interkomprehensja jest nowym podejściem do opanowywania języków i osiągania różnojęzyczności (kilkujęzyczności). Jako zjawisko wielopłaszczyznowe wpisuje się w oczekiwania użytkowników języków obcych w wielojęzycznych społeczeństwach współczesnej Europy. U podstaw interkomprehensji leży potrzeba uzyskania większej autonomii w kontaktach językowych. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie założeń interkomprehensji w kontekście rozważań o autonomii, w tym przedstawienie metody EuroCom(Rom), przytoczenie indywidualnych cech uczącego się sprzyjających rozumieniu i ważnych dla rozwoju postawy autonomicznej, a także podkreślenie roli osoby nauczającej.

Cultural intelligence and global citizenship in gifted/talented students and their non-gifted peers
Authors: Ozbey Adnan , Karduz Fatıma Firdevs Adam
Published: February 2023

Cultural intelligence, or cultural quotient (CQ), and global citizenship are essential skills for individuals in today's increasingly interconnected and globalized world. Cultural intelligence helps individuals effectively navigate and understand cultural differences, promoting effective communication and cooperation. This study primarily aims to compare the cultural intelligence and global citizenship levels of gifted and non-gifted students. Another aim of the study is to discover the possible relationship level between gifted students' cultural intelligence and global citizenship levels. The relational scanning model was used, and 399 high school students attending 10th, 11th, and 12th grades were included in the study. The majority (209, or 54.1%) were non-gifted high school students and 177 (40.6%) were gifted high school students. The Cultural Intelligence Scale and Universal Citizenship Scale were employed for data collection. The results indicate that gifted students have significantly higher cultural intelligence than their average peers. Similarly, it has been demonstrated that gifted students have significantly greater global citizenship than their average peers. A significant relationship was found between gifted students' cultural intelligence levels and global citizenship levels. The cultural intelligence level of gifted students significantly predicts the level of global citizenship. Gifted students benefit from high levels of cultural intelligence and global citizenship because it enhances their capacity to engage with diverse cultures and comprehend global issues, thereby fostering their intellectual and personal development.

Highly Secure and Easy to Remember Password-Based Authentication Approach
Authors: Sadat Sayed Elham , Lodin Hedayatullah , Ahmadzai Nazak
Published: February 2023

Everyone connected and using the Internet is concerned regarding the security and also the privacy of their sensitive information available on the Internet. As authentication is the fundamental part of security, there are different authentication mechanisms through which the systems can be secured. The password-based authentication mechanism is a cheap and easy method for enforcing authentication in the systems for many years. The weakest aspect in password security is human, as they choose weak and easy to guess passwords or a highly secure and complex password which might be difficult to remember and recover the password. On the other hand, Dictionary and Brute force attacks are widely used to compromise the passwords of the users over the Internet. In this paper, a password generation system is proposed which generates a password based on the user’s input like, time and location data. The system generates a password that is highly secure, easy to remember, easy to recover, and can effectively defend against Brute force and dictionary attacks. The generated passwords have been checked in three online password checkers, which verifies that the system is generating highly secure and crack resistant passwords. The system is implemented using PHP scripting language with a user-friendly environment.
Rip Current: A Potential Hazard Zones Detection in Saint Martin’s Island using Machine Learning Approach
Authors: Islam Md. Ariful , Shampa Mosa. Tania Alim
Published: February 2023

Beach hazards would be any occurrences potentially endanger individuals aswell as their activity. Rip current, or reverse current of the sea, is a typeof wave that pushes against the shore and moves in the opposite direction,that is, towards the deep sea. The management of access to the beach sometimes accidentally push unwary beachgoers forward into rip-prone regions,increasing the probability of a drowning on that beach. The research suggestsan approach for something like the automatic detection of rip currents withwaves crashing based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) and machinelearning algorithms (MLAs) for classification. Several individuals are unableto identify rip currents in order to prevent them. In addition, the absenceof evidence to aid in training and validating hazardous systems hinders attempts to predict rip currents. Security cameras and mobile phones have stillimages of something like the shore pervasive and represent a possible causeof rip current measurements and management to handle this hazards accordingly. This work deals with developing detection systems from still beachimages, bathymetric images, and beach parameters using CNN and MLAs.The detection model based on CNN for the input features of beach imagesand bathymetric images has been implemented. MLAs have been applied todetect rip currents based on beach parameters. When compared to other detection models, bathymetric image-based detection models have significantlyhigher accuracy and precision. The VGG16 model of CNN shows maximumaccuracy of 91.13% (Recall = 0.94, F1-score = 0.87) for beach images. Forthe bathymetric images, the highest performance has been found with anaccuracy of 96.89% (Recall= 0.97, F1-score=0.92) for the DenseNet model of CNN. The MLA-based model shows an accuracy of 86.98% (Recall=0.89,F1-score= 0.90) for random forest classifier. Once we know about the potential zone of rip current continuosly generating rip current, then the coastalregion can be managed accordingly to prevent the accidents occured due tothis coastal hazards.
Virtue and Climate Ethics
Authors: Urbano Ryan
Published: February 2023

How do we deal with global warming? Recent moral discussions on climate change focus on what governments and global institutions ought to do in order to mitigate and adapt to global warming. States and international organizations need to adopt relevant policies and programs that address climate change. These policies and programs however need to be complemented by an ethics that cultivate the virtues needed to live in a warmer world. In this paper, I will propose a virtue ethics approach to climate change. Virtue ethics as a normative moral theory focuses on developing and cultivating the right attitude and disposition rather than principles and duties regarding a moral issue. An ethics based solely on principles and duties may not be enough to curtail global warming, because they only regulate and control human behavior but do not shape and mold the right character necessary for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
The Religiosity of Gómez Pérez Dasmariñas, Governor-General of the Philippines, 1590–1593
Authors: Crossley John
Published: February 2023

Gómez Pérez Dasmariñas, who was Governor-General of the Philippines from 1590 until his death in 1593, was a very devoted and religious man. He was born and grew up in Galicia in northern Spain deeply influenced by St James, whose famous shrine at Santiago de Compostela was nearby. His most important mission in the Philippines was to “strive for the propagation of the holy faith among the natives.” He took this very seriously and, besides fortifying the city of Manila, he was involved in the foundation of the College of Santa Potenciana for young women, and the publication of Doctrina Christiana in Tagalog and Chinese by the Dominicans. In his will he ordered many masses to be said for his soul and asked to be buried by the high altar in the Dominican church. In a postscript, I discuss the possibility that the illustrations in the famous Boxer Codex from about 1590, which mainly concerns the peoples of the Philippine region, were influenced by the recently discovered sixteenth century University of Santo Tomas Hours. I also surmise that this Book of Hours may have belonged to one of the wives of Gómez Pérez Dasmariñas who died before he left Spain.
Ethical Principles in bioethics: From Theory to Reality
Authors: Gomez, OP Fausto
Published: February 2023

From an ethical and theological perspective, we reflect on three points: theory, foundation and practice of ethical principles. The theory of principles continues today to be a way to explain our choices, the morality of our actions. Closely connected with values, ethical principles are guidelines or standards of conduct for all professionals. To the four acknowledged principles of bioethics namely, non-maleficence, beneficence, autonomy and justice, we add other classical principles, including the principles of respect for persons and human life, love, totality, truthfulness and confidentiality. The radical foundation of ethical principles is the human person. The human person is an ethical being always in the process of becoming more than what he or she is, of becoming a better person in relation with others, with himself, with nature and with God. Ethical principles urge us to respect every person’s unique dignity and fundamental rights, including the rights to life, physical integrity and an adequate health care. To become more than what he or she is, the human person ought to practice the ethical principles, that is, to pass from theory to reality. As external guidelines for our actions, ethical principles point to us the way to become good persons, professionals and Christians. Known principles are turned into life by the acquisition of intrinsic principles of good actions, that is, virtues. As good operative habits, virtues provide us with a new vision of the heart, serenity of soul and happiness. Among all the virtues, love stands out. Love is the ethical principle (the Golden Rule) and the virtue. It is the form of all virtues. Indeed, to be is to love.

Dávila: The Town That Never Was
Authors: Josué Ericson
Published: February 2023

The barrio of Dávila, also known in olden times as Dirique, is one of the largest barangays in the Province of Ilocos Norte. During the Spanish Regime there was a port in this area which was considered one of the most important in the islands for it was here where tobacco coming from northern Ilocos Norte were shipped to Manila. The Port of Dirique served as an economic link between the province and the capital, including neighboring provinces. During the American Regime, the port was used as gateway in exporting manganese coming from its Ilocos deposits to other markets in the world including the United States. After several decades, this place was forgotten and became “insignificant.” However, old extant manuscripts in Spain and the Philippines revealed its importance during the two foreign regimes. This humble research from archival documents intends to catch attention to rediscover its old importance and the assets hidden by nature in its vicinity. After-all, this was the northwestern-most gateway of the Philippines to the world.
Lessons on Marriage from the Speeches to the Roman Rota
Authors: Menchavez Dean Johnpaul
Published: February 2023

The article is a compilation of selected texts on the institution of marriage gathered from all the Speeches of the previous and the current Roman Pontiff to the Tribunal of the Roman Rota. Among the faithful of the Catholic Church, the normative value of these discourses has already been thoroughly studied and well founded. “These speeches, regularly published in the Acta Apostolicae Sedis, are valuable tools for the interpretation of the law, to manifest the ratio legis at the present time, to fill in the absences in the law..., and to typify a juridical institution in an identically substantial manner, although formally distinct” (Llobell). The applicability of the principles contained in these in relation to the State, that is the Philippines, is apparent. Aside from the underlying moral principles, by which “the authority of the Church [manifest] the truths which the Christian conscience ought already to possess” (Speech to the Roman Rota, 1995) and the fact that majority of the Filipinos are Catholics, it is quite notable that there exists a great similitude between the Family Code of the Philippines and canon law. We have limited ourselves to five main lessons touching (1) on the nature of marriage, (2) its indissolubility, (3) its juridical protection via the Declaration of Nullity in the Church, (4) the necessary Christian anthropology in order to understand such reality, and (5) some inherent and consequent pastoral considerations in abiding by the Christian principles.
Edith Stein on Being Human as Grounded and Supported by Eternal Being
Authors: Estafia ose Conrado , Abulad, SVD Romualdo
Published: February 2023

The study is an exposition of Edith Stein’s claim that the human person is grounded and supported by eternal being. Stein’s investigation is significant to the dialogue between faith and reason. Her inquiry into the meaning of being begins with a discussion of the doctrine of act and potency. She further inquires about the nature of our own being. She discovered the inescapable fact of our own being. In looking at our own being the idea of a pure being or a true being or eternal being is revealed. God’s nature and our own are different. Being human is only a transition from one moment to another. The being of the ego is not all-embracing, but merely a received being, but still it is a being, making sense the term analogia entis. However, Stein believes that our conscious life cannot truly know who we are. She realizes that our search for what it means to be human brings us to that being who is the archetype and author of all finite beings. This being has disclosed himself to us as a person, even a tri-personal being. Revelation, therefore, can deepen our understanding of being human.

Published: February 2023

A doença periodontal (DP) é caracterizada pela presença de um processo
inflamatório crônico, devido ao acúmulo de biofilme bacteriano e a resposta do
hospedeiro frente a esses patógenos, tendo como consequência a destruição dos tecidos de
suporte das estruturas dentais. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a associação entre
DP e qualidade de vida dos indivíduos acometidos pela doença. Um total de 82
participantes foram incluídos no estudo, sendo 25 participantes no grupo controle/sem
DP, e 57 participantes com DP. Foi utilizado como instrumento, o questionário de
qualidade de vida adaptado do questionário para adultos da pesquisa EpiFloripa, versão
2014, onde contém questões com respostas objetivas que visam conhecer melhor os hábitos
mais comuns na vida dos participantes acometidos pela DP. Em participantes com DP,
observa-se forte presença do que muitas vezes são considerados “maus hábitos”, como
baixa adesão à atividade física e dieta rica em gorduras. Podendo associar esses hábitos
a uma menor qualidade de vida e associação com o desenvolvimento e manutenção de doenças
inflamatórias como a DP.

First and foremost, we will depict the realities of “money trading” (money changing, pawnbroking, and quasi-modern lending) in the Romanian Principalities from the 18th century to mid-19th century, having as starting point a number of more ancient or recent bibliographical resources. The need for low interest rate loans to support lucrative business was increasingly present in the period between 1830 and1859. The financial market of the Romanian Principalities was becoming the focus of more and more Western European banks that were seeking to pursue business through their Ottoman branches. With the support of his close associates, Alexandru Ioan Cuza, the Ruler of the Romanian Principalities, also had in mind the modernisation of the Romanian banking system, as part of the reforms aimed at the development of the Romanian society as a whole. Discussions revolved around the establishment of a discount and circulation bank that would also have the right to issue currency and of a mortgage bank entitled to give out loans to the largest landowners in the country. Even though the 1864 establishment of the Savings and Consignments House had been successful in collecting private savings to be later used by the Government as budget resources for major national investment projects, the 1865 attempt at establishing Banque de Roumanie resulted in failure, due to opposition by the Romanian ruler’s political adversaries. The establishment of French and English banks in Romania was stopped and Romania failed to become a preferred market for Western European countries. Nevertheless, one should keep in mind that Alexandru Ioan Cuza, the Ruler of the Romanian Principalities, was a pioneer in this field as well, since his ideas were implemented and expanded upon after 1866.

The commemoration of 200 years since the birth of the unpowered ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza, is a happy opportunity to recognize the life and creative activity of the great ruler in the service of the country and of the great modernizing transformations of the Romanian state in the second half of the 19th century, the unification of the Romanian extra-Carpathian principalities Moldova and the Romanian Country under the authority of Cuza Voda, by far, constituting the beginning of the Romanian efforts for the fundamental restructuring of the medieval society and development on the capitalist path of the country. Considering that in the process of uniting the two principalities the decisive role was held by, first of all, the Ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza and the Central Commission from Focșani, as the first unitary political institution for both principalities, we appreciated these two institutions: the Dominion and the Central Commission from Focsani as the main, basic pillars of the achievement and then the recognition by the European guaranteeing powers of the "union of the little one". For these reasons, for our communication we focused as much as possible on the limited number of pages, of course, on the life of the future ruler as he was, with his good and bad. Likewise, the activity of the Central Commission from Focșani, has been subjected to a thorough analysis, starting from the special role reserved for its legislation and not only for creating those political and administrative unitary units. The relations between the Ruler and the Central Commission, no matter how they were and how they were, we also tried to elucidate through our communication. The conclusions drawn from the study we consider can be very topical and would not hurt to be on the working table of our politicians, faced with such a wide range of legislative concerns.

Authors: ZAINEA Ion 
Published: February 2023

After the conclusion of the Treaty of Trianon, the work of drawing the new border between Romania and Hungary, made by a commission composed of delegations belonging to the two parties, was extended until the end of 1923. In order to prepare the documents of the new border, the delegation asked the prefectures of Satu Mare, Bihor, Arad and Timiş to notify the inhabitants of the area and to draw up tables with the Romanian names of the localities bordering the border. Other problems were the distribution of assets belonging to the counties whose territory was divided by the new border, the fact that a number of legal entities (foundations, corporations, corporations, cooperatives, assemblies, communes, religious communities, etc.) remained with part of their movable and / or immovable property in the territory of the Hungarian State and, last but not least, the conclusion of a trade agreement between the two countries.

Published: February 2023

The special relationship between the great historian and patriot Nicolae Iorga and the 9th Hunters Regiment was founded on two elements, both of a subjective nature; 1. the high regard in which the historian duly held officer Gheorghe Rasoviceanu, battalion commander and subsequently commander of the 9th Hunters Regiment for five years, from October, 7th 1916 to October 7th 1921; 2. the presence of his son, Petre Iorga, and his sonin-law, officer Dimitrie Chirescu, future general (married to Florica Iorga) in the 9th Hunters Regiment. We find Second Lieutenant Petre N. Iorga in the Regiment, as Head of the Intelligence Office from June 16th 1917, taking part in the great battle of Mărășești, Muncelu and Poienile Popii (July-August 1917) and captain Dimitrie Chirescu from August 15th 1916 and the autumn of 1919. It was only natural then for the great historian to take such an interest in the Regiment and to nervously and eagerly follow its development throughout this period.

"Introduction. Hypokalemia is a common clinical disorder. The most common causes of hypokalemia are decreased intake, intracellular shift and increased loss of potassium. In clinical practice, most frequently patients present with hypokalemia due to increased loss of potassium, especially renal loss. Case presentation. A 62-year-old woman, known with hypothyroidism under treatment with Euthyrox, diagnosed with COVID-19 four months before, presented for nausea and vomiting, headache, generalised muscular hypotony and palpitations, with the onset three weeks before. On physical examination, the blood pressure was 140/90 mmHg, regular pulse frequency of 96/min, the patient had pale skin and mucosa and abolition of osteotendinous reflexes at the inferior members. The laboratory tests revealed severe hypokalemia and moderate normocytic normochromic anemia, mixed alkalosis. The patient had no history of treatment with diuretics or penicilines, or any other condition that could have explained the severe hypokalemia. The patient was admitted in the Internal Medicine Clinic and treatment with high doses of intravenous potassium chloride, potassium - sparing diuretic (Spironolactone) and supplements of potassium and magnesium was initiated, with partial correction of the serum potasssium level. The patient was extensively investigated, to establish the etiology of kypokalemia. Finally, the only identified cause was a nephropathy with losses of potassium. Conclusions. Hypokalemia can be determined by multiple factors, such as digestive or renal losses, during a long term hospitalization. Proper treatment of substitution may lead to normal values of serum potassium and a better life quality."
THE METAPHOR OF THE NETWORK AND ITS CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES

The network has become a dominant form of contemporary thinking, the constitutive metaphor being reinvented during the explosion of reticular techniques - the Internet and planetary telecommunications networks. It seems to draw the invisible infrastructure of contemporary society. The figure of the network tends to define the ways of thinking, being ubiquitous in all disciplines, from biology to sociology, from law to computer science, etc., because the hidden structure of the complexity of today's society is the network that dominates and shapes it.

Critique of individualism and relativism without foundation on principles that hold together and preserve the individual and the society in which he lives, the article will deal with the integration of the individual in the social group, based on justice as a relationship for freedom, as a way out to the other and making a selfless connection with others, which is the greatest good. Through justice, the foundations of social solidarity are laid in the form of being-together-with-others. This last concept is the Good (agathon), which is meant to hold together and preserve the social.
