Wittgenstein y la intencionalidad de lo mental
Authors: Acero Juan José , Villanueva Neftalí
Published: May 2023

En Investigaciones filosóficas y otros escritos postractarianos Wittgenstein rechazó la concepción de lo mental que incorpora la Tesis de Brentano. Ese rechazo, dirigido específicamente contra la idea de que los pensamientos representan la realidad conteniendo representaciones que concuerdan con ella, denuncia una confusión gramatical: los objetos a los que se dirigirían los pensamientos son sombras proyectadas por la gramática del lenguaje. Autores como Hacker y Glock consideran que esa confusión se produce al asimilar las oraciones mediante las cuales se adscriben estados mentales a oraciones transitivas sin verbos psicológicos. El presente trabajo argumenta a favor de una imagen mucho más compleja de los medios utilizados por Wittgenstein para rechazar la Tesis de Brentano. Se defiende también que en la visión corregida de la intencionalidad de lo mental desempeñan un papel decisivo los requisitos de inocencia semántica, expresivismo, sistematicidad del significado y del lenguaje como vehículo del pensamiento, ignorados hasta el momento.
Autobiografía e identidad narrativa en Paul Ricoeur
Authors: Lythgoe Esteban
Published: May 2023

En el presente artículo analizaremos el rol de la autobiografía en Tiempo y narración, intentando comprender los motivos por los que este género literario no tiene tanta relevancia en la obra de Ricoeur. En lo referente a su relación con la identidad narrativa,sostendremos que, a pesar de lo que se podría suponer, la identidad narrativa es una derivación del análisis de la autobiografía y no a la inversa. Invertido este vínculo, nuestro segundo paso consistirá en deslindar el tipo de relación que tienen las ficciones literarias y los relatos de vida en la identidad narrativa.
El epistolario como fuente historiográfica: el caso de Max Weber en la Gran Guerra
Authors: Weisz Eduardo
Published: May 2023

El artículo busca dilucidar algunas características del epistolario en tanto que fuente historiográfica y encontrar claves de comparación con la autobiografía. Con importantes aspectos en común, sus propósitos, sus sesgos y la posición subjetiva de sus autores evidencian importantes diferencias. A partir de esta problemática, se analizará la correspondencia sostenida por Max Weber desde el servicio militar durante la Gran Guerra. En un período en el que no tiene intervención pública alguna, el análisis se centra en la evolución de su perspectiva sobre el papel de Alemania y sobre su actividad específica en los lazaretos. Cada uno de estos aspectos se relaciona respectivamente con dos piedras angulares de la obra weberiana: el problema nacional y el proceso de burocratización.
Smart Healthcare Monitoring System

Published: May 2023

Nowadays, extreme priority is focused on health, due to the out- break of Corona virus, to ensure precautions before any illness. In many circumstances, people tend to forget the importance of health and fail to monitor the health parameters, such as temperature, heart rate, and so on, due to work and busy schedules. Therefore, a smart healthcare system has been proposed in this research, wherein five sensors such as MAX30100 sensor, DS18B20 sensor, DHT11 sensor, MQ9, and MQ135 sensor which sense the patient and patient’s room conditions, are used. The obtained values are displayed in the web server, through which the patient’s condition is communicated to the hospital staff, where they can detect and evaluate the current health status of the patient. This approach will enhance the current healthcare system, by potentially saving many lives. Furthermore, medication should also be taken at the right time to improve the state of health which is too difficult for old patients and those who give less preference to health than work. Hence, a pill reminder system which uses IR sensor and a buzzer to remind the patients regarding the proper intake of medication is also designed.

Introdução: Como alternativa reabilitadora para pacientes que possuem indicação de exodontias múltiplas dos remanescentes dentais, as próteses totais imediatas (PTI) buscam proporcionar ao paciente um conforto psicológico, facilitando a transição do estado de dentado parcial para o de desdentado total. Objetivo: Tem como objetivo relatar o planejamento protético-cirúrgico de uma reabilitação envolvendo prótese total imediata superior. Relato de Caso: Paciente 65 anos, leucoderma, sem comorbidades sistêmicas apresentou-se à clínica da especialização de prótese dentária de uma faculdade do norte do Brasil com a queixa principal de ausências dentárias e insatisfação com a prótese parcial removível superior utilizada a cerca de 10 anos pela paciente. Durante anamnese e avaliação clínica pode-se verificar que a paciente apresentava acentuado desvio da linha média dentária, remanescentes dentais comprometidos por trauma oclusal. Durante o processo de planejamento foi indicado a paciente a prótese protocolo superior para melhoria da qualidade de vida, contudo por questões financeiras paciente acabou optando pela opção de exodontia dos dentes 11, 12, 21 e 26 remanescentes. Após avaliação sistêmica pelos exames médicos cirurgia ocorreu sob anestesia local de lidocaína 2 e adrenalina 1.100.000 com uso de fórceps para luxação dos dentes 11, 12, 21 e 26. Para finalizar a sutura foi feita com fios de nylon 4.0 e imediatamente após o término da cirurgia ocorreu a instalação da PTI que neste caso mostrou-se como uma alterativa eficaz de tratamento, mostrando um equilibrado resultado estético-reabilitador. Conclusão: Concluiu-se que os resultados obtidos com esta modalidade de tratamento foram resolutivos para o caso clínico, reabilitando estética e função sem submeter a paciente a um período de edentulismo.

рассмотрены вопросы изготовления слоистых панелей, применяемых для снижения шума турбореактивного двигателя. Приведены однослойные и двухслойные конструкции, применяемые в кожухах шумоглушения двигателей. Разработан технологический процесс изготовления слоистых панелей, определяющий этапы получения плоской панели и панели заданной криволинейной формы. Процесс изготовления осуществляется с нагревом в вакуумных печах. Осуществляя формообразование слоистых панелей, выявлены браковочные признаки: пружинение панели, разрыв верхнего несущего слоя, потеря устойчивости внутреннего слоя панели, смятие сотового заполнителя. Для проводимых исследований были выбраны материалы сотовых панелей – стальные и титановые сплавы. Проведенные испытания на растяжение образцов на испытательной машине «Р-10» в холодном состоянии и с нагревом заготовки с записью диаграмм «σ-ε» позволили определить предельные возможности материала, необходимые для разработки технологического процесса. Проведен расчёт параметров формообразования панели. Представлена новая конструкция штампа, в котором при формообразовании осуществляется предварительное и последующее растяжение панели. Степень растяжения регулируется углом наклона применяемых клиньев с учетом предельных возможностей материала панели. Проведены исследования, которые позволили сравнить результаты полученных панелей при базовом варианте и при растяжении панели. Эксперименты выявили отсутствие браковочных признаков, кроме перечисленных выше и в виде искажении граней ячеек заполнителя, оказывающих влияние на ресурс слоистых панелей

the article discusses the issues of manufacturing honeycomb panels used to reduce engine noise. The designs of single-layer and double-layer panels made of steel and titanium alloys are given. The shaping of these panels is carried out in dies in vacuum furnaces. The developed stamp designs do not exclude the appearance of defective signs. The developed design of the stamp allows the formation of a layered panel with stretching, which eliminates distortion of the cell faces. The scheme of the technological process of forming panels is given, including the materials used with an assessment of the ultimate deformations at different temperatures, the geometric parameters of the panels obtained, the kinematics of the stamp and the forming process. Tests with heating were carried out on a universal breaking machine with a record of the diagrams "σ-ε". The calculation of the shaping parameters with the estimation of the shaping effort is performed. At the same time, the tensile force of the panel during shaping is determined with an assessment of the limiting capabilities of the material determined during the tensile testing of samples. On the received panels, an increase in their quality was noted, which is necessary for the subsequent manufacture of the turbofan muffler casing

Democratização e desigualdades na educação superior: o caso do Brasil
Authors: De Lacerda Peixoto Maria Do Carmo
Published: May 2023

En los gobiernos de carácter neoliberal de Fernando Henrique Cardoso (FHC) y de  centroizquierda de Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva y Dilma Rousseff, el sector privado fue protagonista del gran aumento en el número de vacantes y matrículas en la educación superior. A esta característica se asoció la implementación de programas para ampliar la oferta de vacantes por el sector público y promover cambios en la composición social y étnico-racial de los estudiantes. De este modo, se incorporó a esa enseñanza un público social y económicamente diferenciado y estudiantes ya integrados en el mercado de trabajo, así como se amplió la interiorización y regionalización de la oferta de la educación superior pública. En este artículo se discuten los efectos de esas políticas para la reducción de las desigualdades sociales de la educación superior brasileña. Después de una breve caracterización del sistema educativo y de su relación con la expansión de la educación superior en el período reciente, se presentarán las principales políticas públicas implementadas para promover la democratización y la inclusión social, analizando si y cómo ellas contribuyeron a la reducción de las desigualdades sociales.
Políticas institucionales y exclusión en la movilidad estudiantil internacional.
Authors: Camacho Lizárraga Mónica Irene
Published: May 2023

La internacionalización de la educación superior se desarrolla en un contexto complejo y cambiante, que algunos señalan es ahora de “globalización en reversa”, lo cual plantea retos a los esfuerzos de internacionalización de las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES), específicamente la movilidad estudiantil internacional. A partir de este contexto, el artículo explora desde una perspectiva organizacional cómo las IES—desde el diseño de algunas políticas institucionales—inhiben la participación de sus estudiantes en actividades de movilidad internacional, generando así instancias de exclusión. La desigualdad se analiza desde la perspectiva de Amartya Sen (2000) de exclusión activa o pasiva. Se entrevistó a los responsables del área de internacionalización de nueve IES públicas y privadas (de diez que fueron invitadas a participar), sobre las políticas institucionales y estrategias relacionadas con la movilidad estudiantil internacional relacionadas con: la oferta de oportunidades en el extranjero, el financiamiento para realizarlas y el aprendizaje de un segundo idioma. Además de la introducción donde se explican conceptualizaciones sobre globalización y globalización en reversa, el artículo está organizado en tres secciones: la primera explica los conceptos de internacionalización, movilidad estudiantil y desigualdad; la segunda presenta las políticas institucionales de movilidad estudiantil internacional analizadas a partir de las entrevistas; y de la encuesta en línea; y la tercera presenta los resultados del análisis.
COMPARISON OF A STATISTICAL METHOD AND AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPROACH IN TAXONOMICAL NEMATOLOGY FROM TURKIYE: USING A PAIR OF DETERMINED MORPHOMETRIC PARAMETERS
Authors: Tan A.N. , Tan A
Published: May 2023

In this study, mono and dual ovaries of plant parasitic nematodes in quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) (Rosales: Rosaceae) cultivated areas in Sakarya province of Turkiye, were investigated. A total of 230 female nematodes were used, which were obtained from the soil in July 2016 and 2017. The nematode which was examined exhibited the best relationship between the important parameters of the morphometric measurements. The mono and dual ovaries were discriminated by using the linear discriminate function (LDF) method and artificial neural networks (ANNs) approach. The pair of parameters were tried by using LDF method. Then it was observed that the pair of the tail length/tail diameter at anus or cloaca (c) and percentage of the distance of vulva from anterior (V%) parameters had the best correlation with each other considering the highest accuracy percentage obtained as 80% according to the LDF method. The c versus (V%) of the nematode had a higher classification accuracy percentage for data set than others as 99% for LDF method and 91% for ANNs approach for the July 2016 set. Thus, it can be concluded that LDF method is as successful as ANNs approach.

Published: May 2023

The protective effects of quercetin on colonic anastomosis in rats were investigated by mechanical, biochemical and histopathological parameters. Twenty-one male, Sprague–Dawley rats (240–250 g) were used in this study. Group 1, (Sham-control): The abdominal cavity was entered and after the cecum and colon were exposed, they were reinserted into the abdomen without any procedure. Group 2 (Colon anastomosis+untreated): The abdominal cavity was entered and, 2 cm colon was resected from the distal cecum and the colon was anastomosised end-to-end. Group 3 (Colon anastomosis + Quercetin treatment): In addition to the procedure applied in group 2 rats, after colon anastomosis, quercetin was administered at a dose of 50mg/kg by oral gavage for 7 days. The results were evaluated with mechanical, biochemical and histopathological parameters. In the group 2, anastomotic burst pressures on the eighth postoperative day were decreased compared to the group 1. The burst pressure measurements were significantly higher in the group 3 compared to the group 2. MPO and MDA values in the group 2 showed a significant increase when compared to the group 1. However, these values were significantly decreased in group 3 rats compared to group 2 rats, and SOD values were increased. When the histopathological parameters in the group 2 were compared with the groups 1 and 3, significant changes were found on Colonic anastomosis, anastomotic healing, breaking strength, reactive oxygen species, quercetin, rat the negative side. On the other hand, when quercetin treatment group was compared with group 2, a statistically decrease in inflammatory parameters and mucosal and muscular damage and increased angiogenesis were detected. The results of our study showed that quercetin treatment has positive effects on the healing of colon anastomosis and these effects are based on its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

The objective of the current study was to establish a possible link between cows’ reactivity and milk-related traits. In addition, the study intended to examine changes in herd structure related to cow temperament over successive years. Between October 2016 and October 2021, 7600 data were collected from 1520 lactations for milk, fat, and protein yields, as well as milking speed based on cow temperament. The cow’s temperament was classified as calm, moderate, and nervous. Most of the cows exhibited moderate reactivity (87.13%) compared to calm (5.24%) and nervous (7.63%). The one-way ANOVA protocol showed that cow’s reactivity significantly influenced (p≤0.001) milk, fat and protein yields having more substantial effects (p≤0.001) on the milking speed for nervous ones. The calm cows produced more milk (5766.86±130.98 kg), fat (239.12±5.24 kg) and protein (201.56±4.3 kg) compared to moderate (-309.7, -19.73, -15.3 kg, p≤0.01) and nervous cows (-707.9, -32.2, -28 kg, p≤0.01). Significantly higher milking speed was recorded for calm cows (2.36 kg/min.) compared to moderate (2.28 kg/min., p≤0.05) and nervous cows (2.21 kg/min., p≤0.01). Over successive years a significant increased (p≤0.001) trend in calm (from 3.34 to 8.92%) was observed to the detriment of the nervous cows (from 5.45 to 2.32%) and moderate ones (from 91.21 to 88.76%). The current findings highlight that calmer cows produce more milk, fat and protein yields compared to nervous ones despite the controversial relationship between temperament and milk related traits.

Isolation and identification of highly effective potassiumsolubilising bacterial strain from coastal soils
Authors: Nakka Simmanna , Sajja Uday Bhaskar
Published: May 2023

Soil potassium supplementation relies heavily on the use of chemical fertilizer, which has a considerablenegative impact on the environment. Potassium-solubilizing bacteria (KSB) could serve as inoculants.They convert insoluble potassium in the soil into a form that plants can access. This is a promising strat-egy for the improvement of plant absorption of potassium and so reducing the use of chemical fertilizer. In order to overcome poor potassium availability, potassium solubilising microorganisms can be used to ensure agriculture production. Hence, the study was aimed to isolate, identify, and characterise a potent bacterial species from coastal soils that can efficiently solubilise phosphate for plant absorption. From the five soil samples, a total of eight different discrete bacterial colonies were identified and they were named as MGK-01, MGK-02, MGK-03, MGK-04, MGK-05, MGK-06, MGK-07 and MGK-08. The screening of potassium solubilisation demonstrates that the greatest potassium solubilisation ability was found in the MGK-06 strain. Furthermore, the greatest potassium solubilisation under increasing NaCl concentrations were found in the MGK-06. Due to better potassium solubility and plant growth promoting activities, bacterial isolate MGK-06 was selected for molecular identification and bioinoculation studies. The molecular phylogeny revealed that the bacterial isolate MGK-06 is belongs to Azotobacter chrococcumspecies.

An Adaptive Average Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm for Solving Numerical Optimization Problems
Authors: Osman-Ali Najwan , Mohamad-Saleh Junita
Published: May 2023

The grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA), inspired by the behavior of grasshopper swarms, has proven efficient in solving globally constrained optimization problems. However, the original GOA exhibits some shortcomings in that its original linear convergence parameter causes the exploration and exploitation processes to be unbalanced, leading to a slow convergence speed and a tendency to fall into a local optimum trap. This study proposes an adaptive average GOA (AAGOA) with a nonlinear convergence parameter that can improve optimization performance by overcoming the shortcomings of the original GOA. To evaluate the optimization capability of the proposed AAGOA, the algorithm was tested on the CEC2021 benchmark set, and its performance was compared to that of the original GOA. According to the analysis of the results, AAGOA is ranked first in the Friedman ranking test and can produce better optimization results compared to its counterparts.

La preeclampsia es una morbilidad importante y una de las principales causas de mortalidad en embarazadas.  Sus factores asociados no han sido estudiados en la población panameña. Nuestro objetivo fue determinar la asociación entre la preeclampsia y factores de riesgo en pacientes embarazadas hospitalizadas en el Hospital Santo Tomás en el año 2015. Realizamos un estudio analítico retrospectivo de 300 casos y 627 controles en una población de 10 973 mujeres embarazadas, internadas durante los meses de enero a diciembre del 2015 en el Hospital Santo Tomás. La edad menor de 20 años (OR = 1.40 [CI:1.01-1.94]), la primiparidad (OR = 2.22 [CI:1.68-2.95]) y el antecedente de preeclampsia en embarazos previos (OR = 2.96 [CI:1.46-5.98]) se comportan como factores de riesgo. Los antecedentes de cesárea (OR = 0.56 [CI:0.35-0.90]) y aborto (OR = 0.48 [CI: 0.31-0.75]) se comportan como factores protectores. No se encontró asociación significativa con la edad mayor de 35 años (OR = 1.00 [CI:0.59-1.68]).  La preeclampsia es una enfermedad de la madre joven y primeriza, en la población estudiada.

The Influence of Organizational Culture and Leadership Style on Organizational Performance Mediated by Organizational Commitment in The Banda Aceh City Tourism Office
Authors: Novalia Afrinda , A. Sakir  , Sofyan
Published: May 2023

This study aims to determine the organizational culture and leadership style effect on organizational performance which is mediated by organizational commitment. The population was all the Banda Aceh City Tourism Office employees. The sample collection technique used was a census so a total of 90 respondents were obtained. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires online. The Likert scale was used to measure data. The model test used a onesample t-test for H1 (descriptive test), a structural test using smartPLS for H2 to H6 (verification of direct effect test), and a Sobel calculator for H7 and H8 (mediation effect test). The test results conclude that culture, leadership style, commitment, and organizational performance have been going well; then, culture and leadership style positively affected commitment and organizational performance, and commitment also influenced organizational performance; and commitment partially mediated the culture and leadership style role in the organizational performance. These findings illustrate that the organizational performance improvement model in the Banda Aceh City Tourism Office is a function of adjusting the culture and leadership style that can support organizational commitment. This finding is an important premise for the development of theories related to organizational performance, especially the organizational model that is the same as the Banda Aceh City Tourism Office that is being studied.
Experimental Investigation of Usage of POE Lubricant with Al2O3, Graphene or CNTs Nanoparticles in a Refrigeration Compressor
Authors: DAĞIDIR Kayhan , Bilen Kemal
Published: May 2023

In this study, usage of nanolubricants containing Al2O3, graphene, and CNTs nanoparticles at various mass fractions in a refrigeration compressor was experimentally investigated. Thus, the required compressor electrical power was measured to determine effects of usage of nanolubricants. Nanoparticles, which were used preparation of nanolubricant were gradually added to the lubricant to determine optimum nanoparticle mass fraction for each nanoparticle kind. Consequently, it was observed that the compressor worked safely and efficiently with nanolubricants. Additionally, optimum mass fractions were determined as 0.750% for Al2O3, 0.250% for graphene, and 0.250% for CNTs for operating conditions of this study. As a result, the required compressor electrical power decreased by 6.26, 6.82, and 5.55% with the addition of Al2O3, graphene, and CNTs nanoparticles at optimum mass fractions of 0.750, 0.250, and 0.250% to the lubricant compared to the compressor using pure oil, respectively. Furthermore, density and dynamic viscosity of the nanolubricant samples used in experiments were also measured, and their kinematic viscosity, which are an important parameter for lubricants, were calculated. It was determined that kinematic viscosity increased continuously with the increase of the nanoparticle fraction. In conclusion, nanolubricants containing nanoparticles above optimum mass fraction increase the required compressor electrical power. It is noted that nanoparticle fractions should not be used more than optimum value in the nanolubricant applications.

Коллективная монография посвящена Наталье Аркадьевне Герасименко, профессору Московского государственного областного университета, современному лингвисту, чьи научные интересы связаны с исследованиями синтаксиса русского языка, в частности – с идеей изучения бисубстантивного предложения. Эта мысль – выделение особого типа простого предложения – оказалась настолько продуктивной, что можно говорить о научной школе Н. А. Герасименко, научные идеи которой поддерживают и развивают коллеги-единомышленники и ученики. Рецензируемая монография освещает круг вопросов, непосредственно связанных с изучением структуры и семантики простого неглагольного предложения: формы и смыслы предикатов, специфика субъекта, экспрессивный потенциал бисубстантивных конструкций.

The collective monograph is dedicated to Natalia Arkadyevna Gerasimenko, professor of Moscow Region State University, a modern linguist whose research interests are related to the study of the syntax of the Russian language, in particular – with the idea of studies of a bisubstantial sentence. This idea – the allocation of a special type of simple sentence – turned out to be so productive that we can talk about the scientific school of N. A. Gerasimenko, whose scientific ideas are supported and developed by like-minded colleagues and students. The reviewed monograph highlights a range of issues directly related to the study of the structure and semantics of a simple non-verbal sentence, such as: forms and meanings of predicates, the specifics of the subject, the expressive potential of bisubstantial constructions.
Constructive Alignment Approach: Enhancing Learning and Teaching
Authors: Hamdoun Waleed Mahmoud Abdelhamid
Published: May 2023

The main focus of this paper is grounded in the assumption that the constructivist approach to learning and teaching is absent from the educational practices of a reasonable number of higher education (HE) institutions. Learning and teaching practices in some of these institutions are still based on the traditional approach (Livingstone, 2014). Teacher-centered strategies are still employed, where the teachers impart knowledge and students are passive learners and therefore they are not given the opportunity to have autonomy over their learning. In this way, students are not experiencing enough chances to interact and communicate while doing their defined assignments. Accordingly, this paper outlines/pinpoints the specifications of the constructive alignment approach which could be used to put an end to this daunting situation in HE organizations through designing/developing the existing programs to meet the 21st century cognitive skills perspectives. In my experience, constructive alignment framework could enable educational practitioners to create /develop programs based on the actual needs of the target learners in different contexts. Also, the involved staff could plan learning and teaching activities applying this approach in the given daily lessons. Furthermore, Biggs and Tang (2011) note that quality learning ensures that learners use the right cognitive skills required to gain knowledge and this could pave the way for their lifelong learning.

Published: May 2023

This study investigated the effect of primary SFP on pupils’ enrolment, retention and performance in Katsina State using survey design approach. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 542 respondents. Data were collected using structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed in data analysis. Results showed that majority were females, with NCE educational qualification, had mean age and work experience of 37 and 9 years respectively. Level of enrolment was high as pupils’ enrolment, regular and punctual school attendance increased. Also, retention level was high as pupils’ absenteeism from end of session, term exams, drop-out, leaving school before closing time, irregular school attendance reduced. Academic performance level was high following improvement in class test, term and end of session exams. Over-enrollment, ineffective supervisions of cooking environment and food preparation ranked top constraints. One way ANOVA result showed significant difference among senatorial districts on enrolment, retention and academic performance. Enrolment was significantly high in NSD than in KCSD and southern senatorial district (SSD) while retention in NSD was higher than in KSD and SSD. Similarly, NSD recorded high academic performance than KCSD that had high performance rate than SSD. The test of relationship using PPMC revealed that constraint significantly correlated with pupils’ enrolment, retention and performance levels except for retention in KCSD. Pupils’ enrolment, retention and performance have improved due to SFP. While SFP should be sustained, caterers should prepare and cook the food within the schools for collaborative quality control and supervision by teachers/headmasters and supervisors from Education Ministry
