Introduction: Psoriasis is a pathology of chronic inflammatory origin, which presents epidermal hyperplasia and inappropriate immune activation, affecting the skin and joints, and impacting quality of life. Objective: To analyze scientific production about the quality of life of patients with psoriasis. Method: This is an integrative literature review. The following databases MEDLINE, BDENF and LILACS were used, with access via VHL. Results: Among the main impacts of psoriasis on QoL, the following stand out: restrictions on daily activities, compromising social and even family well-being; feeling of guilt and shame; suicidal thoughts. Discussion: Patients' perception of their physical appearance is linked to a greater impact on daily activities and social exclusion, which can lead to compromising daily activities and quality of life in general. Conclusion: The role of nurses in the treatment of people with psoriasis is extremely important, to observe treatment adherence, observing which aspects may be harming the treatment of the disease and directing them to the necessary support, thinking about the patient's well-being.

Published: August 2024

Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a rare disease with worldwide impact. It is also known as von Recklinghausen disease and is an autosomal dominant condition caused by mutations of the NF1 gene, which is located at chromosome 17q11.2. NF1 is believed to be completely penetrant, but substantial variability in the expression of features occurs. Diagnosis of NF1 is based on established clinical criteria. The presentation of many of the clinical features is age-dependent. The average life expectancy of patients with NF1 is probably reduced by 10–15 years, and malignancy is the most common cause of death and there is no treatment found yet for NF1. The prevalence of clinically diagnosed NF1 ranges from 1/2,000 to 1/5,000 in most population-based studies. A wide variety of NF1 mutations has been found in patients with NF1, but no frequently recurring mutation has been identified. Most studies have not found an obvious relation between particular NF1 mutations and the resulting clinical manifestations. The variability of the NF1 phenotype, even in individuals with the same NF1 gene mutation, suggests that other factors are involved in determining the clinical manifestations, but the nature of these factors has not yet been determined.
The Time Course of Action, Mental and Otherwise
Authors: Aronowitz Sara
Published: August 2024

I raise three challenges for Wu's project. First, are mental actions really relevantly similar to ordinary bodily actions? I suggest that it may be hard to capture commonalities between them while still being grounded in the cognitive structure of action. Second, might long-term memory
have a greater role to play than Wu allows? This influence might be observed on top of an indirect connection that flows through activated long-term memories in working memory. Finally, where do spontaneous memories fit in to Wu's picture? We end with an exchange about spontaneity, seriality,
and control.
Motivation and Movements of the Mind
Authors: Fulkerson Matthew
Published: August 2024

In this critical response, I begin with the positive features of Movements of the Mind, especially the flexibility and utility of Wu's account of attention and agency. I then focus my discussion on the relative absence of motivation and interaction in the account. Just as we
cannot explain the motivating power of pain or emotions without understanding the role of attention and bias (a feature that makes MoM so useful), we also cannot fully understand attention and bias without understanding the role of motivation in driving human behaviour.
Sulfide Mineralization and Associated Platinum Group Elements in Mafic-Ultramafic Units of the Tantalite Valley Complex, Southern Namibia
Authors: Ferreira D. R. , Von der Heyden B. P. , Klausen M. , Martin L.
Published: August 2024

The formation of an immiscible sulfide melt, with associated base, semiprecious, and precious metals, is an important ore-forming process in mafic-ultramafic systems. These magmatic deposits are of great economic importance because they are our primary source of global platinum group element (PGE) reserves—metals that will play a crucial role in facilitating the green energy transition. This study focuses on the Tantalite Valley Complex in southern Namibia and the formation of sulfides within mafic-ultramafic layers, as well as their potential to host valuable metals (PGEs + Ni-Cu-Co). The study investigates the source of sulfur, the fractionation of precious metals between sulfide phases including subsequent alteration assemblages, and the textures and distribution of these minerals, as well as approximating the R factor of the system to assess the mineralization potential of the complex. In situ sulfur isotope and S/Se studies suggest that the origin of the sulfur in the system was derived from the mantle. Sulfide saturation likely occurred because of high degrees of crystal fractionation, and the resultant immiscible sulfide melt percolated into the ultramafic layers (notably an orthopyroxenite layer), accumulating in the basal parts of the magma chamber. Noble metals exist in both solid solution and discrete precious metal-bearing minerals found closely associated with sulfide phases. The R factor for the complex stands at approximately 3,000, which suggests that a small fraction of sulfide melt formed and mixed at moderate to high degrees with the silicate magma. This study provides the first indication of PGE occurrence, and thus further prospectivity, in a poorly explored mafic magmatic suite located in the underexplored geologic terrane (i.e., the Gordonia subprovince of the Namaqua Natal metamorphic province).

Man in the Cosmos: Italo Calvino’s Cosmic Ecology in The Cosmicomics
Authors: Sambit Panigrahi
Published: August 2024

Italo Calvino’s The Cosmicomics, despite its pluralistic openness to multiple critical interpretations by various theoretical and conceptual frameworks including post-humanism, science-fiction studies, postmodernism and many more, deals with the fundamental issue of the human’s physical and conceptual inseparability from Nature or the cosmos. The human’s inseparability from the non-humans (including animals, vegetation and inanimate matters) has profound ecological implications. What Calvino establishes in the mentioned text is the human’s inevitable and unconditional inclusion in Nature rather than his self-proclaimed, physical/conceptual exclusion from the same. This is vindicated by the fictional illustrations in the text in which the ‘human’ is posited as a mere member of the ecosystem, and not as its master. In this context, this article endeavours to explore and analyze the said ecological implications of the mentioned work in the light of some the established ecological theories and postulations.

MIRAGAIA TAIL BIOMECHANICS AND DEFENCES. EVALUATION OF THE TAIL MOBILITY AND RESISTANCE TO LOADINGS AND COLLISIONS.
Authors: LATEGANO FRANCESCO , CONTI SIMONE , LOZAR FRANCESCA
Published: August 2024

Thyreophora is a taxon of dinosaurs composed of Stegosauria and Ankylosauria, whose members have been known to utilise their tails as powerful defensive weapons. Remains of these dinosaurs are scarce; the Portuguese taxon, Miragaia longicollum, known from three individuals, provides precious pieces of information on the anatomy of these rare animals. This study estimates the stress resistance of a stegosaurian tail and uses Multi-Body Dynamics Analysis (MBDA) to properly simulate the movements of the tail of M. longicollum. The results show that the tail of M. longicollum can achieve high speeds and generate significant pressures, akin to those observed in other tyreophoran dinosaurs. Such high speeds would potentially generate powerful strikes and would inflict injuries on predators. However, the caudal spines of M. longicollum, despite being larger than those of Stegosaurus stenops, have worse stress-bearing performances than those of S. stenops, due to their different morphology. Investigating the complex biomechanics governing the tail of a dinosaur, such as M. longicollum, can have significant implications across various disciplines. Investigating biomechanics in extinct species offers valuable insights into comparative anatomy and physiology, facilitating connections between ancient and contemporary life forms. Palaeontologists and evolutionary biologists might use this information to better comprehend the dinosaur movement, which would advance our understanding of ancient ecosystems and have an impact on how we interpret the behaviour of contemporary animals. The knowledge obtained from such study might provide useful biomimicry lessons for robotics engineers, serving as inspiration for the creation of more adaptable and agile robotic systems.

Linguaggio, genere, media
Authors: Bonomi Ilaria , Piotti Mario , Robustelli Cecilia
Published: August 2024

Nel contributo si inquadra brevemente, da un punto di vista storico e teorico, la riflessione linguistica sul rapporto tra lingua, linguaggio e genere, che si è aperta in Italia dopo la pubblicazione (1987) dello studio di Alma Sabatini Il sessismo nella lingua italiana. Segue l’inquadramento una rassegna ragionata degli articoli presenti nel numero speciale di Lingue e Culture dei Media, dedicato a “Questioni di genere nella lingua dei media”, i quali presentano una variegata scelta degli indirizzi di ricerca che caratterizzano il tema, insieme a una buona varietà di attenzione per i diversi media e a una certa concentrazione su alcuni ambiti e aspetti in particolare: la lessicografia, l’uso del genere femminile per i termini che indicano professione e ruolo istituzionale, l’educazione al genere nei libri di testo, la narrazione mediatica del femminicidio, le strategie di rappresentazione delle identità non binarie.
Sulla “oscura” ripartizione delle funzioni tra Commissione di concorso e Consiglio di Dipartimento nelle procedure di chiamata nei ruoli universitari, confermata nelle più recenti novelle legislative
Authors: Monceri Francesco
Published: August 2024

Il saggio si concentra su alcune anomalie riscontrate nelle procedure di chiamata nei ruoli universitari ex legge 240/2010 che appaiono costruite con l’intento di dar vita ad un sistema misto che preservi l’intervento di una commissione di concorso, nonché l’esigenza del rispetto dell’autonomia universitaria, prevedendo come necessaria una fase ulteriore a quella propriamente concorsuale, che dovrebbe culminare nella delibera di proposta di chiamata da parte del Consiglio di Dipartimento. Le imprecisioni della normativa hanno già dato origine a un vasto contenzioso amministrativo, a sue prime revisioni (anch’esse insoddisfacenti) e a tentativi di soluzione a livello regolamentare. Anche per risolvere taluni paradossi, evidenziati in questo lavoro, quali la possibilità (concreta) che il vincitore del concorso, ovvero uno tra gli idonei, possa, con risvolti di dubbia costituzionalità, non ottenere la chiamata solo per il mancato raggiungimento in sede di Consiglio di Dipartimento della prescritta maggioranza assoluta per l’approvazione della proposta di chiamata.
Centralism in the 2004 Constitution of Afghanistan
Authors: Shafaee Abdullah
Published: August 2024

Throughout its history, Afghanistan has lacked a system of separation of powers with checks and balances. Even the 2004 constitution, which was drafted in a relatively open political environment, fell short of establishing such a system. It granted the president excessive executive, legislative, and judicial powers, effectively concentrating power in the executive branch. This centralism fostered autocratic tendencies. The President intervened in legislative matters, bypassing constitutional requirements and weakening legislative oversight. Similarly, the president’s excessive power undermined the independence of the judiciary system, turning it into a tool to pursue his interests. The combined executive, legislative, and judicial powers of the president, coupled with weak oversight institutions, led to unchecked centralism. This concentration of power weakened the rule of law, fueled corruption, exacerbated wealth and power imbalances, and eroded public trust in the government. More importantly, this centralism exacerbated ethnic tensions in the country. The present contribution, informed by the author’s experience with the Constitutional Oversight Commission in Afghanistan, follows a descriptive and analytical approach. It argues that there is a need for decentralizing power in any future constitution in order to establish a modern and stable governance system in Afghanistan.
«Nessuno mai conosce nessuno». Generi, costanti e il problema dell’identità nel romanzo degli anni Novanta (pp. 39-81)
Authors: Tirinanzi de Medici Carlo
Published: August 2024

Il saggio ha funzione di panoramica e di ricerca. Disegna un quadro della narrativa italiana degli anni Novanta con particolare riferimento agli esordienti per arrivare a proporre alcune costanti dello spazio letterario del decennio che permangono anche negli anni seguenti. Si individuano cinque famiglie principali (giovane narrativa, pulp/cannibali, high postmodernism, narrativa di genere, bassa finzionalità) e cinque costanti: adesione al postmoderno; utilizzo del pop come cultura condivisa; commistione intermediale e velocità; tensione all’immediatezza; interesse per estremo, corpo ed emozioni. Si suggerisce che le scritture degli anni Novanta insistono sul problema dell’identità, letta in termini di scissione o antitesi bloccate o stati borderline.
Tempi, voci, parole e gesti. Il teatro metapoetico in “Une petite fille silencieuse” di James Sacré (pp. 342-355)
Authors: Bongiorno Andrea
Published: August 2024

Il saggio propone una lettura del libro di poesia Une petite fille silencieuse (2001) del poeta francese James Sacré (1939). La raccolta narra attraverso frammenti di ricordo la perdita della figlia piccola e il percorso di accettazione del lutto, un percorso continuamente filtrato dalla riflessione metadiscorsiva. Nel primo paragrafo sono studiate le modalità di espressione del flusso temporale non lineare; nel secondo, il rapporto fra silenzio, voce e scrittura con le sue implicazioni metapoetiche; nel terzo, come la poesia crei uno spazio residuale di esistenza, grazie al gesto e al suo divenire parola scritta. Si conclude notando un’affinità tra la poetica di Sacré e la poesia italiana della «terza generazione», soprattutto con Vittorio Sereni.
Dal sogno dell’investitura poetica alle parole ambigue come i sogni
Authors: Beltrametti Anna
Published: August 2024

The article explores the theme of dreams as the foundation of poetry and literature, focusing on the epiphany of the Muses in Hesiod and Archilochus. Through detailed analysis of works and inscriptions, the article examines how the dream of poetic investiture is not just a narrative device but a foundational act that grants the poet the power of inspired speech. The text highlights the role of the Muses in transforming the poet from a shepherd to a creator of worlds, illustrating how poetic language is situated between truth and verisimilitude, suspended between dream and reality.
Sognare un sogno
Authors: Muccioli Cristina
Published: August 2024

The article examines the role of imagination in shaping our understanding of reality and truth, arguing that reality is not a fixed entity but a continuous discovery enriched by dreams and virtual experiences. The article draws parallels between the imaginative freedom found in Anne Frank's "Diary" and the creative processes in scientific inquiry, citing figures like Albert Einstein and Monica Gagliano to illustrate how dreams and the unconscious contribute to rational thought and scientific breakthroughs. Through an analysis of Giorgio Manzi's work, the article highlights the fusion of scientific rigor and narrative creativity, demonstrating how the act of dreaming can transform our perception of historical and contemporary realities. This blending of disciplines underscores the importance of imagination in both the humanities and sciences, advocating for a holistic approach to understanding and interpreting the world.
Normativity Naturalized? Some Thoughts on Bruno Celanos Pre-Conventions
Authors: Escher Ana
Published: August 2024

Bruno Celanos thought-provoking 2016 paper on Pre Conventions, A fragment of the Background prompted intense discussion. Unsurprisingly so given the perplexity as to the existence of entities which dwell both in the normative and the factual realms. Ever since Hume and Moore we have grown zealous about this divide. My aim here, however, is neither an in-debt discussion of Humes Law nor a detailed critical analysis of Celanos Pre Conventions.  Rather, I want to point out that the underlaying structure of Celanos Pre Conventions closely resembles theoretical constructs offered by linguistic philosophers (and interestingly so, of the externalist branch) in their meaning formation explanations. I am thinking in particular of Millikans construct of natural conventions, reproduction and precedent. Following this thread, the question of the normativity of Celanos embodied facts seems to mirror the disjunction problem in informational theories of meaning (Fodor) and the general question of normativity of meaning (correctness conditions of terms implying meaning normativity). What I have in mind here is, then, to assess the validity and reach of Celanos claim not about the existence of entities of this type, but about their inherent normative nature.

Primary PCI is the gold standard treatment of STEMI. Thrombus Burden in coronary vessels is the main challenge for a good procedure prognosis. We aimed to analyze thrombus burden and to identify its determinants. Objective: To evaluate the extent of thrombus burden in coronary vessels and identify associated determinants in patients treated with primary PCI. Methods: A single center cross-sectional survey that included 470 patients was conducted at the Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore from June 2023 to December 2023.  We recorded demographics and risk factors in history. The angiographic findings about thrombus burden and TIMI flow were recorded before and after the procedure. All the collected data was analyzed using SPSS 23.00. Results: The mean age of the participants was 51.97±10.84 years. 410 (87.2%) were male patients and 60(12.8%) females were included in this study. 283 (60.2%) patients in our study had a high thrombus burden, whereas 187 (39.8%) patients had a low thrombus burden. There was a significant difference in TIMI flow before and after the procedure (p-value = 0.004). Four patients had no flow. All of them had high thrombus burden but were not found to be associated significantly (p-value>0.05). Conclusion: Most of the patients with STEMI had a high thrombus burden. Risk factors of IHD were not associated with high thrombus burden. 410 (87.2%) were male patients and 60(12.8%) females were included in this study.

Published: August 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apa saja problematika pembelajaran bahasa arab yang ada di Insan Mulia Boarding School Pringsewu. Penelitian ini juga dilaksanakan untuk mengetahui langkah apa yang dilakukan mengatasi problematika pembelajaran bahasa arab di Insan Mulia Boarding School Pringsewu. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Peneliti menyimpulkan bahwa problematika pembelajaran bahasa arab bersumber dari peserta didik itu sendiri dan dari pendidik. Peserta didik masih kurang dalam memahami ketika pembelajaran bahasa arab, dikarenakan latar belakang pendidikan mereka tidak semua berasal dari madrasah ataupun pondok pesantren sehingga literasi mufradat atau kosa kata yang dimiliki oleh siswa masih kurang. Disisi lain motivasi belajar siswa di SMP IT Insan Mulia Boarding School Pringsewu masih rendah, khususnya terhadap pelajaran bahasa arab, dikarenakan mata pelajaran bahasa arab tidak diujikan di Ujian Nasional. Adapun upaya yang dilakukan untuk mengatasi problematika pembelajaran bahasa arab adalah dengan sering memberikan perhartian terhadap siswa yang kurang memahami materi serta memberikan permainan yang membuat mereka rileks dan menikmati kelasnya. Untuk memotivasi terkadang dilakukan permainan yang berbasis bahasa arab kemudian mereka diberikan hadiah, baik itu berupa snack, al-Qur’an mini, maupun buku-buku penunjang Bahasa arab.

This research aimed to discover the impact of project-based learning on students' affective learning outcomes in IPAS (Integrated thematic learning) at the elementary school level. The research employed a quantitative approach, utilizing paired t-test data analysis due to its single experimental class design. The findings of this study indicate the presence of an impact of project-based learning on students' affective learning outcomes, evident from the changes in their values or attitudes when interacting with peers or teachers after implementing the learning approach among 30 students. The advantages of implementing this practice during the learning process include: 1) Increased student enthusiasm for learning; 2) Enhanced understanding of the material; 3) Better application of understanding values and attitudes when in groups or individually. However, there are constraints and drawbacks, including: 1) Requires more time; 2) Requires adequate facility support; 3) Teachers need to be more intensive as they serve as a source of information and need to work alongside students to explore the fundamental concepts of the material to be learned; 4) Difficulty in getting students to collaborate with peers outside their groups.

The Power Crunch and Firms’ Anticipatory Investment: Evidence from Manufacturing SMEs in China
Authors: Cheng Dong , Shi Xunpeng
Published: August 2024

Using manufacturing survey data from China, we study the relationship between firms’ anticipatory investment (or in other words, willingness to invest) in the short-run future and their perception of the current power crunch for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Our findings reveal a robust and significant negative association, suggesting a sizable persistent negative impact of the power crunch on firms’ investment lingering over at least a couple of months. The dynamic impacts are very different at the industry level, with electricity-dependent industries appearing to take more hits. However, we find no statistically significant evidence to support the channel of electricity dependence in comparison with the channel of capacity utilization. Moreover, we show that firms of smaller size suffer disproportionately larger damage in future investment, which highlights the importance of caring about SMEs, relative to big firms.
Would You Like to Trade Your Energy? A Comparative Survey Experiment on Energy Trading Platforms
Authors: Steadman Shandelle , Rita Bennato Anna , Giulietti Monica
Published: August 2024

As energy markets become more decentralised, energy trading platforms are emerging as useful tools to facilitate the coordination of energy consumption and generation, encouraging a more efficient use of renewable energy by residential producers and consumers. By exploring three different European countries, we study the effectiveness of both monetary and non-monetary incentives in fostering energy trade via trading platforms. We use an incentivized survey experiment to evaluate the drivers of consumers’ and prosumers’ willingness to participate in an energy trading platform. We find that the monetary incentive is not necessarily the main reason why people would choose to trade their energy, but other dimensions, such as environmental concerns and independence from the national grid, play an important role.
