The Crisis of Technology and the Quest for Meaning: A Critical Conception of Media Philosophy
Authors: He Fang
Published: August 2024

The crisis of modern technology has led to a series of issues such as the pervasive emptiness of meaning and the loss of subjectivity in human society. Under the influence of technological supremacy and instrumental rationality, philosophy, which abstractly refines the fundamental problems faced by humanity such as the meaning of existence, truth, and the dichotomy between rationality and irrationality, also finds itself in a crisis of legitimacy. In this context, the "media turn" in philosophy is an attempt to break free from its shackles. This paper proposes a media philosophy from the essential attributes of human communication and the inseparability of communication and media. By analyzing communication as a fundamental human essence, this paper outlines the basic concept of media philosophy, explores the path of media philosophy, and emphasizes the inherent significance of the collision of life's meanings and communicative exchanges. This paper asserts that in the era of "media as being" ontology, it is especially necessary to understand the essence of human existence and the face of the world constituted by communication from the perspective of media.

Study on the motivation of enterprise greenwashing behavior based on the perspective of environmental commitment implementation
Authors: Yang Yanqing , Chen Yijun
Published: August 2024

With the rapid economic growth, the issue of ecological environmental protection has been widely concerned by the public, and has triggered diversified discussions. As the main participants in social and economic activities, enterprises play a pivotal role in this issue, not only bearing social responsibility, but also playing a decisive role in environmental protection practices. In the context of consciously undertaking social responsibilities and responding to institutional requirements, enterprises often express their firm position and commitment to environmental protection and compliance with laws and regulations through information disclosure. In practice, some enterprises run counter to their environmental protection commitments, choosing to "low investment, high return" as the goal of greenwashing behavior. Taking Hegang as the research object, this paper summarizes the process of implementing environmental commitment as the result of the joint action of two factors: implementation ability and implementation motivation. Then, the paper analyzes the major environmental pollution cases of Hesteel, analyzes the motivation of Hesteel's greenwashing behavior from the perspective of the implementation ability and implementation motivation of environmental commitment, and finally puts forward corresponding suggestions for the shortcomings of the enterprise itself and external regulatory departments in preventing greenwashing behavior, in order to optimize the governance mechanism and improve regulatory efficiency.

FUNCTIONAL DISSOCIATION, A CLINICAL SYNTHESIS OF DID AND PIERRE JANET'S PSYCHASTENIA
Authors: Mayer Bernard
Published: August 2024

DID has its origins in the pioneering work of the physician and psychologist Pierre Janet (1859-1947), who put forward the notion of "dissociation of ideas and functions". This new concept was reworked a century later by O. van der Hart and his colleagues, who proposed the notion of "structural dissociation of personality" between at least two fragments with a sense of self: the ANP and the EP. Functional dissociation of personality is a new concept that we would like to introduce here, at the interface of DID and structural dissociation. This new diagnostic category provides very useful clinical details in psychotherapy practice because its prevalence is significant. Functional dissociation allows the clinician to produce a differential diagnosis with DID, which paves the way for a more appropriate treatment than DID for patients without structural dissociation of the personality.

A Eletroconvulsoterapia (ECT) é uma abordagem terapêutica eficaz para transtornos depressivos graves, especialmente em casos resistentes a tratamentos farmacológicos. Estudos demonstram que a ECT, seja na forma unilateral ou bilateral, proporciona uma redução significativa dos sintomas depressivos e pode acelerar a melhora clínica. Além de seu papel na diminuição da ideação suicida, a ECT tem mostrado eficácia na prevenção de recaídas, com uma taxa de resposta de 55-90%, superando as taxas de remissão dos tratamentos medicamentosos convencionais. No entanto, a terapia não está isenta de efeitos adversos, como perturbações na memória e na fluência verbal, que são mais prevalentes em diferentes grupos etários e condições clínicas. Considerações éticas são fundamentais, com a necessidade de consentimento informado e avaliação criteriosa dos riscos e benefícios. Pesquisas futuras devem focar na melhoria dos mecanismos de ação da ECT, na minimização de efeitos colaterais e na exploração de alternativas terapêuticas para pacientes que não podem se beneficiar desse tratamento. As descobertas atuais destacam a importância de uma abordagem individualizada e informada na aplicação da ECT.
