Discipline and Power in the Digital Age. Critical Reflections from Foucault’s Thought
Authors: Capodivacca Silvia , Giacomini Gabriele
Published: September 2024

In the ever-evolving landscape of the digital age, the theories posited by Michel Foucault four decades ago provide an insightful lens through which to view our contemporary technological society. This article underscores the shift from modern reference disciplines, such as biology, political economy, and linguistics, to the emergent domains of cognitive and computer sciences. By exploring the personalization of online user experiences via data collection and behavioral microtargeting, the study highlights the nuances of modern surveillance. This new era of monitoring bears a resemblance to Foucault’s concept of disciplinary power, marked by its subtle yet omnipresent control. In a world where digital oversight by governments and corporations is increasingly prominent, the relevance of Foucault’s ideas becomes significant for deciphering and traversing the intricate landscapes of power and surveillance in the digital age.
Untruth as the New Democratic Ethos: Reading Michel Foucault’s Interpretation of Diogenes of Sinope’s True Life in the Time of Post-Truth Politics
Authors: Sittidumrong Attasit
Published: September 2024

Since 2016, the rise of post-truth politics has created a situation of democratic discontent in the west. While many scholars tend to regard post-truth politics as a threat to democratic order, I would like to propose that what we have been witnessing in this form of politics has been the transformation of the democratic ethos. By turning to Michel Foucault’s lecture on the true life of Diogenes of Sinope, delivered at College De France in 1984, I ascertain the framework for demonstrating how we can approach a new shape of democratic ethos in our era of post-truth politics. I argue that in Diogenes’s true life, Foucault saw the concrete life, which could liberate each individual from the constraints of their conventional lives by emphasizing the material conditions of all human bodies. Diogenes’s life could then be a form of self-emancipation since it not only showed how untrue the conventional life was but also released each individual from any conventions estranged from them. Relying on this point, I propose the notion of untruth as the new ground of our democratic lives. Though post-truth politics destroys the objective form of truth, the untruth—as its main element—can play a leading role in grounding our democratic ethos to the extent that it asserts our capability of self-emancipation.
A Critic on the Other Side of the Rhine? On the Appropriations of Foucault's Political Thought by the Heirs of the Frankfurt School
Authors: Venturini Rodolpho
Published: September 2024

In this article, I make the case that the reception of Foucault's political thought by different authors linked to the Frankfurt School tradition (J. Habermas, N. Fraser, A. Honneth, A. Allen and M. Saar) allows us to discern a series of transformations within the tradition itself. In general terms, it is argued that the fundamental change concerns the gradual abandonment of the problem of social rationalization in favor of a perspective focused on the question of processes of subjectivation, a change that calls into question the very meaning of the tradition.
Genealogy as an Ethic of Self-determination: Husserl and Foucault
Authors: Redaelli Enrico
Published: September 2024

The way in which Foucault confronts Husserl helps to highlight the instance that drives Foucauldian research and its current legacy. Foucault inscribes his work through Husserl within a broader tradition, namely, that of the critical thinking that has crossed all of modernity from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment and up to phenomenology. His main legacy can be identified precisely in the way he relaunches and radicalises this tradition by intensifying its critical gaze.
We will follow the steps of The Crisis of European Sciences to evoke the underlying purposes of Husserl's work, showing how his genealogical analysis of scientific knowledge, as a mix of historically determined practices, is guided by the ethical aim of self-determination. Later we will show how Foucault takes up this instance in a completely original way, and we will analyse which analogies and differences can be traced between the two authors’ approaches to the problem of an individual's self-determination in his relationship with the network of knowledge-power in which he is immersed. In fact, both authors consider that there can be no emancipation and self-determination of the individual without a preliminary historical-critical retrospective on knowledge and on the ways in which its contents have been constituted. But this retrospective, which we could define generically as genealogical (genetic-phenomenological in Husserl's terms), is played out differently by the two authors and implemented by Foucault with a greater degree of radicalism.
Foucault and Wittgenstein: Practical Critique and Democratic Politics
Authors: Rasiński Lotar
Published: September 2024

This paper aims to explore a set of convergence points between Foucault’s and Wittgenstein’s perspectives on philosophy and language, integrating them into a mutually complementary approach that I term ‘practical critique.’ The concept of ‘practical critique’ is founded on three pillars: the understanding of philosophy and language as critical practices, the public nature of language, and confessional subjectivity. I examine these three areas of convergence across three subsequent sections. In the concluding section, I discuss how this perspective can be fertile for understanding democratic politics today. I argue that all three pillars predominantly support democratic politics over any other political form. To explain that, I engage with the debate on the language of democratic theory and the potential expansion of the understanding of the public sphere. The notion of the public that emerges from this perspective offers an alternative or supplementation to the classical Habermasian view of the public sphere and democratic theory. It is envisioned as an open space of discursive multiplicity and diversity, where practices of exclusion or oppression can be made visible, challenged, and resisted.
Foucault’s Hegel Thesis: The “Tragic Destiny” of Life and the “Being-There” of Consciousness
Authors: Roberts-Garratt Oliver
Published: September 2024

In this paper, I offer an intellectual-historical reading of Foucault’s unpublished master’s thesis. In contrast with other recent scholarship on the pre-1961 period of Foucault’s career, the purpose of this paper is to grapple with the philosophical content of this thesis on its own terms, distinguishing it as far as possible from his mature work. This allows forgotten concepts to re-emerge in the course of reading the text and for a novel engagement with such neglected facets of Foucault’s oeuvre. Indeed, the key concept which I argue emerges from Foucault’s early thesis is that of language as the être-la of thought. By closely following Foucault’s Husserlian reading of Hegel, and his response to Eugen Fink’s paradoxes of phenomenology, it is possible to see how Foucault briefly lands upon a novel kind of scepticism about the reality of history and minds. In the same way, I will also show why Foucault was unable to fully develop or commit to these sceptical positions during this part of his career. The article concludes by briefly suggesting contrasts between my reading of this early text and the way Foucault’s oeuvre is more generally understood.
Luther and Biopower: Rethinking the Reformation with Foucault
Authors: Lindholm Samuel , Di Carlo Andrea
Published: September 2024

In this article, we propose an alternative Foucauldian reading of Martin Luther’s thought and early Lutheranism. Michel Foucault did not mention the Reformation often, although he saw it as an amplification of pastoral power and the governing of people’s everyday lives. We aim to fill the gap in his analysis by outlining the disciplinary and biopolitical aspects in Luther and early Lutheranism. Therefore, we also contribute to the ongoing debate regarding the birth of biopolitics, which, we argue, predates Foucault’s periodisation. Our approach to tackling these questions is three-pronged. First, we establish the context by highlighting a few Reformation-era examples of the conceptual opposite of biopower, namely, sovereign power. Second, we scrutinise the disciplinary aspects of early Lutheranism, underscoring the fact that disciplinary institutions appear to subject people to new models of behaviour. Third, we describe the biopolitical undercurrents in Luther’s thought and its early reception. We argue that the reformer’s views on issues such as marriage and poor relief appear to carry a biopolitical significance before the alleged birth of biopolitics.
On Foucault’s Legacy: Governmentality, Critique and Subjectivation as Conceptual Tools for Understanding Neoliberalism
Authors: Duarte André , César Maria Rita de Assis
Published: September 2024

The text addresses Foucault’s critical understanding of neoliberalism as a new contemporary governmentality strategy for the conduction of people’s lives. A major aspect of Foucault’s analysis of neoliberalism relies on his understanding of the neoliberal homo oeconomicus as dependent on subjectivation processes related to self-assumed values and standards oriented by the competitive economic market. Our hypothesis is that governmentality, critique and subjectivation are the core notions that shaped Foucault’s understanding of neoliberalism and form the legacy of his seminal analysis. Contrary to critics who affirm that Foucault flirted or even became fascinated with neoliberalism, we argue that he offered critical tools for its understanding in a critique that is not to be confused with denunciation, however. Accordingly, we discuss Foucault’s conception of critique and relate his analysis of neoliberalism to his notions of governmentality and subjectivation. Finally, we briefly point out how some contemporary critics of the neoliberal order have appropriated and developed Foucault’s conceptual tools in their own understanding of it. We conclude that although Foucault did not propose a comprehensive theory of neoliberalism, he offered important critical insights for the understanding of it in our times.
Power + Fashion
Authors: Geczy Adam , Karaminas Vicki
Published: September 2024

“Power dressing,” itself a women’s dress reform movement, as it came to be called in the 1970s, used to distinguish typical feminine dress styles and was seen as a necessary strategy for a more subdued image on par with the masculine, serious, and formal professional dress, namely the ubiquitous suit and tie. This new ‘career’ woman became visible by her appearance and choice of dress codes that reinforced her position as a businesswoman who was seriously committed to her work. But from the perspective of the first decades of the new millennium, power dressing and power and fashion have far wider meanings and ramifications. For Michel Foucault, power is a regulatory principle that is used to control social interactions and to impose structures that inform the ways in which we act and appear. In line with Foucault’s analysis, to dress is already to respond to tacit frameworks of power, and because it involves already accepted codes of visualisation and behaviour, to “power dress” is not simply to wield or enact power voluntarily but to succumb to it as well. Further, as this paper will reveal, power dressing can also be understood according to Foucault’s “technologies of self”, which sees the historical subject as both subject and object of a network of discursive forces that are considered normative as opposed to constructed. Power dressing still exists today but according to a more nuanced and multivalent configuration. It can also be thought of as a particular form of renunciation that facilitates an embodiment of power much as religious asceticism and privation is (purportedly) constitutive of a more authentic self.
Thinking and Unthinking the Present: Philosophy after Foucault
Authors: Saar Martin , Vogelmann Frieder
Published: September 2024

What might a contemporary philosophical practice after and following Foucault look like? After briefly analyzing Foucault’s rather ambiguous stance towards academic philosophy in his posthumously published Le discours philosophique, we argue for continuing his historico-philosophical practice of diagnosing the present. This means taking up his analytic heuristic (with its three dimensions of power, knowledge and subjectivity) rather than his more concrete diagnostic concepts and the specific historical results they yield. We argue that the common methodological operation on each of the three axis is to shift the perspective from the given legitimacies, norms, identities and selves to their historical, conflict-ridden emergence. Practicing philosophy in this way allows developing Foucauldian contributions in two contemporary philosophical debates: critical ontology and political epistemology. While ontology and epistemology might seem surprising fields to work in for philosophers inspired by and critically loyal to Foucault, we attempt to dispel these reservations and illustrate the stakes in both debates, pointing to the urgent issues of ecological questions and of the problematization of untruths in politics respectively.
Overcoming “the Penetration Model”: Rethinking Sexuality with Foucault, Shusterman, and Contemporary Feminism
Authors: Marino Stefano
Published: September 2024

In the present contribution, dealing with the intellectual legacy of Michel Foucault forty years after his death, I offer an analysis of some possible relations between certain aspects of Foucault’s project of a history of sexuality, Richard Shusterman’s somaesthetic investigation of the experience of lovemaking, and some recent attempts to critically rethink sexuality in the context of feminist scholarship. My approach towards Foucault’s thinking in this contribution is not philological or attentively reconstructive but rather selective and interpretive. In the first section, I briefly examine Foucault’s general view of sexuality as a “limit-experience”; then, in the second section, I specifically focus my attention on his (critical) analysis of “the penetration model”—an expression coined by Foucault in the context of his inquiry into Greco-Latin sexual culture. In the third section, I take into examination the important influence of Foucault’s aesthetics of existence on Shusterman’s somaesthetics and, in particular, on his book Ars Erotica. Finally, in the fourth section, I make reference—without any ambition of completeness or systematicity—to the question of the relation between Foucault’s thinking and contemporary feminism, focusing my attention on some recent proposals for a critical rethinking of sexuality by feminist scholars such as Bini Adamczak, Ilka Quindeau, Amia Srinivasan, Tamara Tenenbaum, and bell hooks.
Foucault and Somaesthetics: Variations on the Art of Living
Authors: Shusterman Richard
Published: September 2024

This essay examines Foucault’s legacy in terms of its contribution to the field of somaesthetics.  It demonstrates how Foucault’s work on embodiment, care of the self, pleasure, sexuality, and aesthetics of existence were inspirational to the founding of somaesthetics and can serve as exemplars of somaesthetic philosophy. However, the essay also explores the ways that current somaesthetic research departs from Foucault’s theories by critiquing their limitations with respect to several important issues. These issues include the varieties of pleasure, the multicultural scope and diversity of ars erotica, the range of aesthetics and art, and the demand for truth and heroism in the art of living a beautiful life.
The Actualité of Philosophy and its History: Michel Foucault’s Legacy on a Philosophy of the Present
Authors: Irrera Orazio
Published: September 2024

From the late 1970s, and particularly in the last years of his life, Michel Foucault repeatedly returned to the status of philosophical reflection as an ontology of the present, of actualité, or an ontology of ourselves. However, the impact of these famous theoretical syntagms around a philosophy of the present or of actualité – one of Foucault's most precious legacies 40 years after his death – is not fully intelligible without considering that they were already at the heart of Foucault's reflections on the status of philosophy from the mid-1960s onwards.
Today, with the recent publication of the essay Le Discours philosophique, we can better understand how the concept of actualité shaped, within an archaeological framework of analysis, the highly complex elaboration of the status of philosophy as a discourse aimed at providing a diagnosis of our actualité. The theoretical density of this latter term reveals a rich panorama of philosophical references (sometimes explicit, sometimes more implicit) that are essential for grasping both the historical-conceptual stakes of this term and the way in which it is, for the first time, inscribed at the heart of the status of philosophy, giving rise also to the very possibility of making it an object of historicization that at the time was still only archaeological.
The aim of this contribution is to show how Le Discours philosophique broadens our understanding of what Foucault would later take up in a wider horizon of analysis, in which actualité would mark a renewed space of historical analysis of the contingent relationship between philosophy and its present, by redefining philosophical reflection as a practico-reflexive mode that Foucault will designate as “attitude” (and “critical attitude”).
Foucault and Ecology
Authors: Iofrida Manlio
Published: September 2024

On the basis of a definition of ecology centred on Merleau-Ponty's thought, this essay examines the various phases of Foucauldian thought and their respective relationships to possible ecological outcomes: the Dionysian phase, which lasts until The Order of Things; the microphysics of power phase, in which a philosophy of the will that radically breaks with any idea of the original becomes central; and the late Foucault phase, characterised by the themes of the hermeneutics of the self, subjectivity and critique. In the latter period in particular, in which Foucault's rapprochement with Canguilhem and the idea of a living being immersed in a dialectical relationship with the environment and with others is very strong, a model is identified that is particularly amenable to interpretation in ecological terms. The essay concludes with some research hypotheses on the possible relationship between a philosophy of the will, such as that mediated by Foucault from Nietzsche and Schopenhauer, and ecology.
The Future Perfect of Suspicion and Prediction as a Dispositive of Security Today? The Legacy of Foucault (1977)
Authors: Bigo Didier
Published: September 2024

This article discusses the current legacy of Michel Foucault in relation to the current political situation. It is articulated in three parts. The first insists on the fact that Michel Foucault has been and still is significant for discussions concerning political sciences and international relations by the way he has discussed them and by his own academic politics. The second part highlights the key role of his attempt to define a dispositif of security in the 1977-78 lecture course ‘Security, Territory, Population’ and the various interpretations given after his death. The third part introduces my own research on the subject and its development. Twenty years ago, I called this dispositif of security surveillance a ban-opticon dispositif. This is only partly relevant since the violence of the effects on individuals has been intensified by a multifocal construction of "suspects" by various transnational guilds of security professionals who systematise profiling and weak correlations as an alternative method of seeking the truth about causalities and facts attributed to an individual. Because of this systematicity of "suspicion first", which jeopardises the principle of innocence, I call this dispositif of security a transnational dispositif of suspicion-prediction, which is organised both as a rearticulation of the modern episteme with suspicion back at its core and as a "legitimate" one, thus allowing a "preventive" violence to be re-enacted in the name of scientific predictions of a future so deadly that it is necessary to act violently now in order to prevent even more violence. This question of inverted temporality, in which the imagined future dominates the present, leads to the belief that the future can already be known under a grammar of the future perfect. Combined with the strategic orientation of right-wing parties to abandon the celebration of the past in order to mobilise the fear of apocalyptic futures, this characteristic of the ‘future-perfect’ explains a series of contemporary developments in security and surveillance, reframing the attachment of the population to a new form of conservatism that captures the imagination of the future, including some contemporary discourses of war. Resisting this attraction to the future-perfect is possible by reinventing hope.
Who, in Our Present, Might the Pierre Rivières Be? Political Subjectivation and the Construction of a Collective “We”
Authors: Antoniol Valentina
Published: September 2024

This article intends to focus on some of the possibilities for analysis and reflection that emerge from the reading of I, Pierre Rivière, having slaughtered my mother, my sister, my brother: a 1973 text, edited by Foucault, which develops from the recognition of the potency inherent in the act of speech by the speechless. Pierre Rivière is in fact considered the one who, through but also beyond his terrible deed, has the (entirely political) ability to take the risk of “challenging power.” It is precisely by means of this act that he undertakes a process of desubjection and subjectivation, imposing disruptive and scandalous truths and discourses against other truths and discourses recognized as dominant and more authoritative. Pierre Rivière's Memoir cannot therefore be investigated as a confession; rather, it has to do with parrhēsia, anticipating many of the Foucauldian reflections on the subject, which would not be developed until several years later. Moreover, it does not really concern an isolated individual. The subject Rivière speaks of is one who not only rises up for his own part but also paves the way for the many without a part, thus outlining the possibilities of constructing a collective “we” that aims to conquer a political space. From here the question arises: “Who, in our present, might the Pierre Rivières be?” A question that has nothing to do with the tragic facts of the parricide but which allows us to explore what Pierre Rivière enables us to think and say today.
Slot-die coating method in organic solar panel and evaluation in polluted air
Authors: Irani Tohid , Deyhim Hedieh
Published: September 2024

Renewable energy sources and pollution have a direct effect on each other. Solar panels development could enhance the adoption of green energy sources and contribute to a cleaner environment. Today's third generation organic photovoltaic panels (OPVs) offer good efficiency, low fabrication costs, and can be produces rapidly using slot-die coating methods. These advantages make OPVs increasingly attractive for broadening solar energy consumption. Therefore, related studies are being conducted to achieve this goal. This study aimed to evaluate real-world performance of OPVs in polluted air by testing a fully slot-die-coating OPV module in Tehran’s polluted environment, specifically at four air quality control stations. The results showed a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.3% under standard test condition (STC) and maximum power output of 0.189 W in 5×6 cm module, which include ITO/PET, PEI, P3HT-PCBM, PEDOT-PSS, and AGNW layers. Testing in polluted environment revealed a significant dicrease in current and maximum power (Pmax) due to reduced sunlight reaching the module’s surface. Pmax dropped to 0.0229 W at least polluted site in Masodieh Street and to 0.0173 W at the most polluted site in Shahr-e Rey Street.
Photovoltaics rooftop regulations and their connection to pro-environment consumer behavior in Indonesia
Authors: Redaputri Appin Purisky , Santoso Claudius Budi , Barusman M Yusuf S
Published: September 2024

To address environmental issues, Indonesia aims to achieve a 23% renewable energy share by 2025 and 31% by 2050, according to the National Energy Plan. This article examines the regulations governing the management of rooftop solar power plant (rooftop-PV) in Indonesia and their connection to pro-environment consumer behavior. Despite Indonesia’s ambitious targets for Renewable Energy (RE) growth, progress in the field still needs improvement. Pro-environmental behavior (PEB) within the community is crucial for adopting rooftop PV as a more environmentally friendly energy alternative. This research employs a qualitative descriptive methodology with content analysis to evaluate the current situation. The research findings indicate that rooftop PV offers economic benefits through cost savings for consumers and is supported by existing regulations. However, some businesses feel that the government needs to expedite revising relevant regulations to address investment stagnation and installed solar panel capacity. Concerns arise that proposed policy changes may hinder the growth of rooftop PV businesses and the achievement of national capacity targets. The role of pro-environment consumer behavior, which has the potential to drive rooftop PV adoption, will be influenced by psychological and social factors, as well as changes in applicable regulations.
Named Entity Recognition Using Conditional Random Fields for Flood Detection In Gerbang Kertosusila Based Twitter Data
Authors: Ulumiyyah Ikrimatul , Rolliawati Dwi , Izzuddin Andik , Khalid Khalid , Khunaefi Anang , Ridwan Mujib
Published: September 2024

The national strategic area Gerbang Kertosusila East Java should be aware of floods. One of the existing efforts is to place flood sensors at several flood-prone points. However, that way is constrained by the need for more equipment to handle the many needy areas. So it is necessary to develop technology for the dissemination of flood information. Dissemination of flood information was quickly obtained from social media Twitter. One way is to use Twitter's text data source for a Named Entity Recognition model to help detect flood events and their locations. The Named Entity Recognition (NER) model was constructed using the Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) method to achieve research objectives. This research adds slang word handling at the preprocessing stage to improve model performance and the use of the BIO format in the labeling process and POS Tagging in the Feature Extraction process. Evaluation results with five Kfolds, 80% training data, and 20% test data show that the NER CRFs model performs excellently with a Precision of 0.981, Recall of 0.926, and f-measure of 0.950 so that these results can help the community and government regarding the information on the distribution of floods.
Crowd Density Level Classification for Service Waiting Room Based on Head Detection to Enhance Visitor Experience
Authors: Istiqomah Atika , Seida Fatih , Daradjat Nadhira Virliany , Kesuma Rahman Indra , Utama Nugraha Priya
Published: September 2024

The crowd within a confined space can potentially lead to air stagnation in waiting areas. Constantly running air conditioning throughout the day to balance air circulation may result in excessive energy consumption by the building. To address this issue, Heating, Ventilating, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems are employed to manage and regulate indoor energy usage. However, sensor-based detection often fails to capture human variables promptly, resulting in less accurate density readings. Camera footage proves to be more reliable than sensors in accurately detecting crowds. This research utilizes You Only Look Once version 8 (YOLOv8), a robust algorithm for object detection, particularly effective in crowd detection for images, along with Convolutional Vision Transformer (CvT) for crowd density level classification into "Normal" and "Crowded" levels. CvT enhances classification accuracy by incorporating function from Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) in model training, including receptive field, shared weights, etc. By integrating YOLOv8 and CvT, this method focuses on accurately classifying crowd density levels after identifying human presence in the waiting area (indoor). Evaluation metrics include mean Average Precision (mAP) for YOLOv8, and accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score for CvT. This approach directly influences the management of HVAC systems.
Early Detection of Phishing Sites with Enhanced Neural Network Models
Authors: Suarti Isa , Chamidy Totok , Crysdian Cahyo
Published: September 2024

Phishing is a digital crime committed with the aim of obtaining personal data by creating a link or website that resembles the original. This form of cyber attack is caused by a notification in a text message, email, or phone call. A common anti-phishing countermeasure technique is to perform early detection of potentially phishing sites, primarily according to the source code features, which are required to traverse web page content, as well as third parties that slow down the process of clarifying phishing URLs. Although the latest technology has long been used in phishing early detection, there is still a need for manual feature engineering that is important and reliable enough to detect emerging phishing offenses. One of these involves training a neural network (NN) using a dataset of known phishing URLs and legitimate URLs. The research was conducted using 200 data, Data were separated into training and testing categories.  Training was done using 100 and 120 data. Training results on 100 data and 160 data had lower iterations and errors on the tanh activation function compared to the logistic activation function. The number of iterations that occur in logistic activation is as many as 400 iterations, while when using the tanh activation function only 175 iterations are needed.

ONION CRACKERS SALES FORECASTING USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK METHOD AND HOLT'S DOUBLE EXPONENTIAL SMOOTHING
Authors: Setiawan Hamzah
Published: September 2024

Changes in product demand is a problem that is often faced by the industry as well as one of them is onion crackers. Tapioca flour is the main ingredient used to make onion crackers. Because the demand for crackers is always changing, this company often experiences excess or shortage of raw materials. If there is an excess of raw materials, the company must incur additional costs for the maintenance and storage of raw materials so that raw materials can be properly stored in accordance with existing standards, which of course costs a lot. Therefore, companies must plan to solve this problem by planning raw material requirements by forecasting raw material requirements using the artificial neural network method and double exponential smoothing holt. The results showed that the artificial network method had a mean square error of 0.120 and the mean square error using the double exponential smoothing method yielded a value of 206.19. Based on these two values, it can be concluded that the artificial neural network method is more accurate than the double exponential smoothing holt method. This can be seen by comparing the roat mean square error values of the two methods..

The pathogenic variants in the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene have been identified in adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, while their connection to childhood diffuse lung disease has not yet been described. Within this study, we present a case of a five-month-old, previously healthy infant, with early-onset respiratory failure. The clinical suspicion of diffuse lung disease triggered by cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonitis was based on clinical and radiological presentation. Multiorgan involvement was not confirmed. Considering the possible connection between CMV pneumonitis and early-onset respiratory failure, clinical exome sequencing was performed and a novel variant, classified as likely pathogenic in the TERT gene (c.280A>T, p.Lys94Ter) was detected. After segregation analysis yielded negative results, the de novo status of the variant was confirmed. Respiratory support, antiviral and anti-inflammatory therapy offered modest benefits, nevertheless, eighteen months after the initial presentation of disease, an unfavourable outcome occurred. In conclusion, severe viral pneumonia has the potential to induce extremely rare early-onset diffuse lung disease accompanied by chronic respiratory insufficiency. This is linked to pathogenic variants in the TERT gene. Our comprehensive presentation of the patient contributes to valuable insights into the intricate interplay of genetic factors, clinical presentations, and therapeutic outcomes in cases of early-onset respiratory failure.

The goal of the current study was to determine the high-resolution frequencies of the HLA-DRB1 alleles among the analyzed Romanian cohort of healthy stem cell donors. Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), we estimated class II HLA-DRB1 allele frequencies to a 6-digit resolution through HLA typing in a Romanian cohort of healthy individuals. The study for HLA genotyping included 420 willing donors from the National Registry of Voluntary Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donors (RNDVCSH). In 2020 and 2021, peripheral blood samples were collected and transported to the Fundeni Clinical Institute. We used the Immucor Mia Fora NGS MFlex kit for HLA genotyping. Forty-one different alleles were detected in 420 analyzed samples, out of which the most frequent HLA-DRB1 alleles were DRB1*16:01:01 (12.6%), DRB1*11:04:01 (12.1%) and DRB1*03:01:01 (12%). The HLA-DRB1*11:01:02 and -DRB1*08:04:01, -DRB1*05:01:01, -DRB1*13:05:01, -DRB1*14:07:01, -DRB1*09:01:02, -DRB1*11:02:01, -DRB1*04:07:01, -DRB1*15:03:01, -DRB1*03:02:01, -DRB1*04:06:02, -DRB1*04:08:01, -DRB1*14:05:01 were identified only once. The results revealed similarities with countries belonging to the Eastern Europe, the Balkans and the Caucasus regions. Further studies on larger Romanian cohorts are needed for confirming the current results.

Congenital malformations can be found in all organ systems of a newborn. Almost two-thirds of congenital malformations have an unknown cause. There are minor (mM) and major (MM) congenital malformations. Searching for minor malformations has its vital place in everyday neonatology practice. Minor malformations are defined as physical variants that have no medical consequences and are mostly located on the face and distal parts of the extremities and are easily noticed. Minor malformations occur in approximately 15% of newborns. Minor congenital malformations are of great importance because they can be an indicator of the existence of major congenital malformations and syndromes. In a one-year retrospective study that analyzed the occurrence of 38 minor malformations through the year 2023 at the University Clinical Hospital of Mostar, there was an incidence of 10.59% of minor malformations. The most frequently recorded minor malformation was deep a sacral dimple at 44.72%, then poorly modeled ears at 15.08%, and moderate rectal diastasis at 14.58%. Three or more minor congenital malformations indicate one or more major congenital malformations. Major congenital malformations are severe structural defects of tissues and organs that endanger life, create serious functional disturbances and hinder the development of the child. In our country, there is currently a recorded incidence of 8.04%. The search for minor malformations in the newborn period is of great importance to children and the whole family, and the search must not be neglected.

The Romanian Customs Authority (AVR) is a structure that contributes to the health of society and the development of the economy. The main activity refers to the control of the flow of goods and people in and out of the respective country. To make the AVR activity more efficient, it is necessary to carry out a quality assessment of its functioning and activity using the legislation, the European regulations and the norms in force. This research uses qualitative evaluation and empirical experience to develop proposals for improving acuity. Among the main activities imposed are the establishment of two directions, the Customs Administration Direction, and the Operational Customs Control Direction. The limitations of this research refer to the fact that the entire evaluation was carried out at the level of Romania. The research can be extended to other countries of the European Union.
Potential for Solar Industrial Process Heat Systems for Tea Drying Applications – A Case Study

Published: September 2024

An increase in energy consumption especially for industrial applications enhances the uptake of fossil fuels since, they are currently the major sources of industrial process heat and electricity. The need for clean energy technologies is therefore critical, in order to meet the rising energy demand using sustainable energy sources. Solar thermal energy technologies have attracted much attention in terms of research and developmental activities worldwide. The present study seeks to explore the viability of adopting solar thermal technologies at Tingamira - Tanganda Tea estate, Zimbabwe. Data on current sources of heat, daily consumption of process heat and required process temperatures was gathered. Systems advisor model (SAM, version-2021.12.2) was applied to analyse feasibility of linear Fresnel (LF) and Parabolic trough (PT) solar thermal technologies for industrial tea drying. LF system is potentially a better option for producing process heat for low temperature applications. It requires smaller aperture area (360 m2) and a lower initial capital cost of $ 112 860 which is about 8 % cheaper. Also, it yields more energy at lower levelized cost of heat as compared to PT technology when solar multiple is increased up to 2. Replacing wood fuel would reduce the factory carbon footprint by 114 tonnes CO2 annually. Also, potential for sensible rock-bed heat storage systems in the tea factory was assessed. Rock bed sensible TES using natural rocks can avail a viable option for heat storage and about 16 m3 of storage volume would be needed to meet a daily heat demand of 1 MWh.
