Az alsóbb- és a felsőbbrendű lélek problémái az Enneaszokban
Authors: Guba Ágoston
Published: June 2023

Ha az egyéni lelket vizsgáljuk az Enneaszokban, az a benyomásunk alakulhat ki, mintha legfeljebb csak aspektusai lennének, de nem beszélhetünk egy filozófiailag konzisztens lélekképről. Ez különösen szembetűnő, ha az úgynevezett alsó- és felsőbbrendű lélek felé fordulunk, és megpróbáljuk definiálni a kettő között húzódó határt. Tanulmányomban először áttekintem a kétféle lélek legfontosabb problémáit és a róluk való főbb értelmezési irányokat a szakirodalomban, majd különböző szövegeket vizsgálok meg ezzel kapcsolatban, melyeknek a kontextusa cselekvéselméleti vagy etikai, más szóval olyanok, amelyek dinamikus képet adnak a lélekről. Úgy gondolom, hogy ezek a szövegek megadják a megfelelő kritériumot ahhoz, hogy a lélek látszólag különböző megközelítéseit – és így az alsóbb- és felsőbbrendű lélek elkülönítésének az ellentmondásait – közös nevezőre hozhassunk, ez pedig a szabad választás kritériuma. Írásom utolsó részében a vágy plótinoszi elméletének epiktétoszi hátterét és az eltérő metafizikai előfeltevésekből eredő különbségeket vizsgálom.

Published: June 2023

The correct evaluation of the performance of models used in the field of energy, building and indoor environment modelling is crucial to correctly assess the reliability of the results and the suitability of the model for the purpose. This technical report is supplementary material to the work of Johra et al., 2023, who conducted an extensive literature review of 259 papers to provide an overview of the evaluation metrics used by the energy, building and indoor environment research community. The information gathered from the 259 reviewed papers is compiled in the spreadsheet attached to that technical report. This technical report provides an overview of all the time series comparison metrics found for building energy and indoor environment modelling validation, using a consistent notation and naming convention and any alternative names for the respective metric. Such an overview should provide valuable guidance to both practitioners and researchers within the energy, buildings and indoor environment community. Furthermore, the use of a consistent naming and equation notation should reduce the possibility of misunderstanding, which has been highlighted in Johra et al., 2023. In addition to this overview, Section 3 discusses possible limitations and pitfalls when evaluating models within the field of energy, building and indoor environment modelling, which provide additional support.

Published: June 2023

Introduction:

Disparity in access to emergency care among minority groups continues to exist despite growing awareness of the effect of implicit bias on public health. In this study, we evaluated ethnicity-based differences in time between admission and surgery for patients undergoing emergent procedures at hospitals participating in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program.

Methods:

We conducted a retrospective review of 249,296 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program cases from 2006 to 2018 involving general, orthopaedic, and vascular surgeries. Analysis of variance was used to compare “time to operating room” (OR) between ethnic groups.

Results:

Notable differences in time to OR were noted among general and vascular surgeries but not orthopaedic surgery. Post hoc comparison identified notable variation in general surgery between White and Black/African Americans. In vascular surgery, notable variations were identified between White and Black/African Americans and White and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders.

Discussion:

These findings suggest that certain surgical subspecialties continue to exhibit disparities in care that may manifest as surgical delay, most notably between White and Black/African Americans. Interestingly, variation in time to OR for patients treated by orthopaedic surgery was not notable. Overall, these results highlight the need for additional research into the role of implicit bias in emergent surgical care in the United States.

Understanding observed receiver strategies in the healthcare speaking up context
Authors: Barlow Melanie , Watson Bernadette , Jones Elizabeth
Published: June 2023

Our study aimed to examine the communication behaviours of receivers responding to a speaking up message from a nurse. Specifically, what behaviours receivers of the speaking up message used to understand and address their concerns, and whether observed receiver communication behaviours differed between the health disciplines (receiver groups).

Deductive content analysis, through the application of Communication Accommodation Theory, was used to analyse observed receiver behaviour.

We used simulation to directly observe speaking up interactions. Data collection occurred between May and November 2019 within a large metropolitan health organization. Twenty-two simulations were conducted and analysed, involving participants (

Nurses/midwives frequently utilized task-based questioning, which inhibited their ability to promptly recognize the speaker’s concern. In contrast, medical officers more readily provided reassurance and support to the speaker and sought clearer understanding of the situation through using more open-ended questioning techniques.

Simulation was an effective means to study receiver behaviour. Results demonstrated the receiver’s clinical discipline influenced not only what behaviour strategies were deployed, but the effectiveness of the strategies in accurately interpreting and effectively resolving the raised concern. This study has important implications for clinical practice and how receivers of a speaking up message are trained. As different disciplines approached the same conversation in very different ways, understanding these differences is key to increasing the efficacy of healthcare speaking up training.

Published: June 2023

Background-Raised total cholesterol, high LDL-C, low HDL-C, and elevated triglycerides are all symptoms of dyslipidemia. It is included in metabolic disorders. It is a major component in causation of atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease. There is a 1-2 percent rise in the incidence of Coronary Heart Disease for every 1% increase in cholesterol level. As per Ayurveda, it can be considered as a Medadhatu Dushti that is “Medoroga”. Acharya Charaka described drugs having deepana, pachana, medohar, lekhana and strotoshodhaka properties for management of Medoroga. Kutaki (Picrorhiza kurroa Royle ex. Benth) can be used in such conditions due to its lekhana and medohar properties.Various animal research studies conducted on Kutaki proved its antihyperlipidemic and hepatoprotective property. Hence in this case series three patients of dyslipidemia were treated with single dravya Kutaki in tablet form. Case Report-All the three female patients, aged between 40 to 50 years, were treated with Kutaki tablet (500mg) two times a day in the morning and evening (8am-8pm) empty stomach with water for 60 days. After completion of treatment, assessment was done by comparing Serum lipid profile value as with baseline after completion of treatment. Observations and Result -All the three patients showed improvement in lipid values. There was no change in weight or BMI was noted. Conclusion-Hence, it can be concluded that Kutaki is safe and effective in dyslipidemia for normalization of lipid in the blood due to its lekhana, Kapha Medohara (alleviation of vitiated Kapha and Meda) properties.

Authors: Koneru Divyasri , Pojala Kumar , Maddala Rajitha
Published: June 2023

Background: Pharmacovigilance program was introduced to improve patient safety. Adverse drug reaction (ADR) monitoring and reporting is the key component of this program.

Aims and Objectives: Objectives of the study were (1) to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of ADR monitoring and reporting among nurses and (2) to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of ADR monitoring and reporting among interns.

Materials and Methods: This was a qualitative, cross-sectional, and questionnaire-based study. A questionnaire containing 40 questions (including the subquestions) was given to study participants. This questionnaire comprises knowledge, attitude, and practice sections.

Results: Data were analyzed in terms of percentages (%) using Excel. 99% of the interns were aware that there is an ADR reporting system in India but only 33% were reported. 93% of the nurses aware of the existence of the ADR reporting system in India, but knowledge about other aspects of pharmacovigilance was poor (<50%) and only 12% were reported ADR.

Conclusion: Overall knowledge and attitude part was good in interns, but there was a lack of motivation in reporting, leading to underreporting. However, in nurses, all the aspects such as knowledge, attitude, and practice were so poor. Suggestive corrective actions needed in nurses were conducting awareness programs and in interns were motivational activities such as including the ADR reporting component in their log book.

Authors: Goparaju Sahithi , Lella Meenakshi , Kambar Chandrakala , Kurli Sankar
Published: June 2023

Background: Antibiotics have been one of the most significant discoveries in the history of medicine, as they saved countless lives and prevented many serious complications from bacterial infections. Antibiotics are usually safe and effective in treating bacterial infections but can result in adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in some patients. Antibiotics are the most common class of drugs which implicate a greater number of ADRs, because of overuse and misuse of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance, and decreased efficacy.

Aims and Objectives: The aims and objectives of the study are to determine clinical symptoms, causality, and severity of antibiotic-associated ADRs.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was carried out from January 2021 to June 2022; data were collected from Adverse Drug Monitoring Center, GMC/Government General Hospital, Guntur. Prior Institutional Ethics Committee Approval and Permission from Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission, Ghaziabad, were taken. The collected reports were analyzed for ADR pattern, drug groups, causality, and severity. Descriptive statistics were used.

Results: Out of 847 ADRs reported, 119 (14%) ADRs were related to antibiotics. The majority of ADRs (65%) were reported in males. A greater number of ADRs were reported in mean age group 31–40 years. Anti-tubercular drugs (27%) were the most commonly implicated antibiotics followed by cephalosporins (22%). Most commonly affected system was cutaneous system (45%) followed by gastrointestinal system (21%). Most common ADRs reported were pruritus (20%), followed by rash (14%). 93% of ADRs were possible and 7% were probable. 87% of ADRs were mild, 12% were moderate, and 2% were severe ADRs.

Conclusion: ADRs can be prevented by taking proper action at an early stage. Implementation of antibiotic guideline policy for the hospital and strict adherence to it should be ensured to promote their rational and safe use.

APROXIMAÇÃO AO DEBATE SOBRE SERVIÇO SOCIAL E TRABALHO NA PRODUÇÃO ACADÊMICA BRASILEIRA
Authors: Silva Flaviane Monteiro
Published: June 2023

Da procura pela compreensão da essência do Serviço Social, que se direcionava para superar o conservadorismo profissional,  resultou a afirmação de que por ser uma práxis assalariada, a profissão seria trabalho. Tal identificação dizia respeito aos elementos mais fundamentais do processo de trabalho, que na concepção marxiana caracteriza-se como intercâmbio orgânico entre sociedade e Natureza para produzir meios de produção e subsistência, e não ao trabalho abstrato. Esta afirmação resultou em problemas que passaram a ser investigados, dando origem a um campo de debates que visa elucidar a questão da essência do Serviço Social e de sua função social.

Attitude, Subjective Norm, Perceived Behavioural Control and Digital Ṣukūk Adoption in Nigeria: The Mediating Effect of Awareness
Authors: Shittu Isah , Salisu Yahuza
Published: June 2023

Purpose ‒ There is an increasing number of digital ṣukūk issuances worldwide but the level of awareness and adoption in Nigeria is very low. This research examines the mediating effect of awareness on the relationship between attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control and digital ṣukūk adoption in Nigeria.
Design/Methodology/Approach ‒ The data for the research were collected from 750 questionnaires that were distributed using the systematic sampling technique to operators of the capital market and individuals in Nigeria, out of which 410 were retained. The partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS–SEM) algorithm was used for the reliability measurement and constructs validity while the bootstrapping technique was used for testing the study hypotheses.
Findings ‒ The findings reveal that awareness mediated the relationship that exists between subjective norm, attitude, perceived behavioural control, and digital ṣukūk adoption in Nigeria. Overall, the empirical findings rejected seven out of 10 null hypotheses developed to answer the research questions.
Originality/Value ‒ The study serves as a pioneering effort towards unlocking the viability of digital ṣukūk adoption amongst the Nigerian populace.
Research Limitations/Implications ‒ The findings provide empirical evidence that awareness mediated the interrelationship between the explanatory variables (subjective norm, attitude and perceived behavioural control) towards digital ṣukūk adoption in Nigeria.
Practical Implications ‒ The findings suggest the need for the Debt Management Office (DMO) in partnership with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to facilitate the required regulation and standard pertaining to digital ṣukūk issuances and structures.

VALIDATING THE CONSTRUCTS OF EMPLOYEES’ COMPETENCE MODEL TROUGH CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS: EVIDENCE FROM NIGERIA
Authors: Sani Isah  , Rashidah Mohammad Ibrahim  , Fazida Karim
Published: June 2023

In recent decades, the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) has been embraced by several scholars in assessing the fitness of measurement model through structural equation modeling procedure. In this study, five variables namely HRM practices (recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal, compensation), psychological empowerment, affective commitment, work engagement, and employee competence were applied in carrying out the CFA. Applying the CFA procedure determines the researcher’s attempt to increase the ability of latent measurement model to be more outlined and précised in drawing conclusions as well as avoiding the violation of regression assumption. It appears more efficient with the use of Cronbach Alpha, Convergent validity, Discriminant Validity and Composite Reliability in the study analysis for the researcher to apply the result for further steps. Hence, findings of this study appear to be more corresponding with the overall aim of the study. Empirically, CFA is an effective tool for ensuring the best fit of measurement model. The inability of the current analysis to carry out the CFA using individual measurement serves as a great limitation. The application of pooled CFA is certainly a key to researchers in the quest to achieve the requirement for measurement model in a study with complex constructs/items. This paper aimed at presenting to the readers particularly those at the beginning stage, the importance of applying pooled CFA in empirical studies by highlighting the findings of the current study.

Investigation is the first step in disclosing a criminal case before entering the investigation stage. The importance of investigations carried out by investigators is to obtain detailed information on the field or crime scene both in the form of statements from eyewitnesses and the results of investigators' investigations. In carrying out an investigation, it is hoped that the independence of the police as investigators, especially if the crimes that occur are complex in nature, such as the crime of premeditated murder. However, in carrying out investigations, investigators often experience various obstacles and intervention from outsiders who feel they have an interest in the case being investigated is no exception, so it takes quite a long time. In this study the authors used a normative juridical research method, namely an approach method based on a study of existing laws and applicable laws and regulations. This study aims to determine the importance of the independence of the police as investigators and the legal basis governing independence itself, in order to create a sense of justice in disclosing a case of premeditated murder starting from the earliest stages.

Published: June 2023

A microstrip patch antenna is a popular choice of antenna for use in the L band frequency range. They also have good radiation characteristics, making them ideal for receiving and transmitting low-power radio frequency signals. The proposed compact antenna is meant for GPS applications covering the L1 band. The antenna is designed involving the Rogers’s substrate having a dielectric constant of 2.2. The design is based on circular microstrip patch structure with inset feed technique. The selection of the dielectric material and its thickness is very crucial in designing microstrip patch antenna. This paper also explains how antenna performance is improved by varying the thickness of the substrate. The radiation pattern, return loss, gain, directivity, VSWR and efficiency are obtained using EM Simulation and the results are compared for various designs structures. It is inferred that as the thickness of the substrate increases, the performance of the antenna also gets better.

Civielrechtelijke vergoeding van letselschade door een werkgever en fiscale (on)belastbaarheid van een uitkering uit een door een werkgever afgesloten ongevallenverzekering. Een kwestie van voordeelstoerekening?

Sinds het Smeerkuil II-arrest is een uitkering uit een ongevallenverzekering die door de werkgever op basis van de arbeidsvoorwaarden is afgesloten, fiscaal belast voor zover deze vergoeding uitgaat boven de civielrechtelijke aansprakelijkheid van de werkgever. Of en zo ja in hoeverre sprake is van een extra vergoeding (en dus fiscale belastbaarheid), hangt volgens de auteur af van het antwoord op de vraag of en zo ja in hoeverre deze uitkering bij het begroten van de civiele schadevergoeding als voordeel in de zin van art. 6:100 BW kan worden verrekend. Nu dat antwoord onduidelijk is, wordt de rechtspraktijk voor een dilemma geplaatst

This paper delves into the analytical interpretation of the Holy Quran, an esteemed approach in the field of Quranic interpretation. As a dynamic and evolving discipline, the translation and interpretation of the Holy Quran constantly evolves, guided by the principles of Sharia and the contextual needs of the time. Among the earliest and most influential methods of interpretation is the analytical approach, which has been employed in numerous renowned exegeses such as Tafsir-al-Tabari, Tafsir Bahr al-Muhit, Tafsir Ibn Kathir, and others. A distinguishing feature of the analytical interpretation method is that commentators interpret Quranic verses in the order they appear in the Mus'haf (the written compilation of the Quran), comprehensively exploring each verse before proceeding to the next. Each interpreter adopts the analytical method according to their expertise and interests, often encompassing introductory remarks on the Surah, connections between verses, reasons for revelation, lexical meanings, juridical inferences, grammatical analysis, rhetorical and lexical nuances, scientific miracles, interpretations in light of contemporary sciences, and other relevant aspects. This research utilizes a descriptive and analytical approach, drawing upon scholarly books, academic articles, and the works of esteemed Islamic scholars who have made significant contributions to Quranic interpretation. Through this method, individuals can address their specific scholarly needs. Al-Mashhadani: 248-266). It is worth noting that other interpretive methods, such as the method of Tafsit Ijmali, Tafsir Mawzui, and Tafsir Moqarin, draw inspiration from the analytical interpretation of the Holy Quran.
In conclusion, the analytical interpretation of the Holy Quran provides a comprehensive framework for understanding its profound messages. This method offers various stages and features that facilitate a deep and multifaceted analysis of the Quranic text. As an example, this paper includes an illustration of the analytical interpretation method from Tafsir Munir, authored by the esteemed scholar Dr. Wahba al-Zuhaili. It is hoped that this discussion and example will prove beneficial to readers in comprehending and appreciating the analytical interpretation approach.

: In knee prostheses, the curve of the instantaneous center of rotation (ICR) and, therefore, stability of the prothesis are the most important parameters to be considered. The ICR curve depends on many parameters. One of them and the most effective one is the dimensions of four bar mechanism. In polycentric knee mechanisms, it has become inevitable to use optimization techniques while determining the dimensions of the mechanism for the stability of the prosthesis in the stance position. In this study, definitions of knee prostheses and polycentric knee mechanisms are given, optimization studies written in this field are mentioned thorough literature research. The study aims to find mechanism dimensions that gives ICR curve close to the reference curve by optimizing the mechanism dimensions of four-bar knee mechanisms. The Bees Algorithm and Genetic Algorithm (GA) were used for this purpose. The limits and objective function for the optimization were determined, and after many trials, separate mechanism dimensions with The Bees Algorithm and the Genetic Algorithm are obtained. By comparing the results, it has been observed that the dimensions obtained by The Bees Algorithm produced a better approximation to the reference instantaneous center of rotation curve.

TREATMENT OF TEXTILE WASTEWATER WITH CHERRY LAUREL LEAVES AND WASTE POTATO PEELS
Authors: YAKUT Şennur Merve
Published: June 2023

In this study, a research was carried out on the removal of dyestuff, which is a big problem in the textile industry. The adsorption method was used for the removal of Maxilon Yellow 4GL dyestuff. Cherry laurel leaf (Prunus laurocerasus) and waste potato peels were used as adsorbent, and the removal efficiency was determined as 76.64% at pH 7 and with 2 g adsorbent, 80% dyestuff removal efficiency was achieved in the specified conditions for cherry laurel leaves. For experiments in which waste potato peels were used as adsorbent, the optimum conditions were found as follows: Contact time: 60 minutes, adsorbent concentration of 0.75 grams and initial concentration of 25 mg/L. The Freundlich isotherm model was suitable for our study, since the regression number was found to be 0.999 for cherry laurel leaves and 0.995 for waste potato peels as a result of isotherm studies. According to the cost analysis, the materials supplied free of charge, due to mixing, the electricity cost for treatment (0.128 TL) and the chemical material cost is 17 TL, and it has been determined that these adsorbents are quite economical in dyestuff treatment. As a result, the fact that there is no study on the removal of cherry laurel leaves with the mentioned dyestuff in the literature shows that this study can be further developed.
Reflexões sobre o documentário etnográfico sob premissas pós­estruturalistas
Authors: Mendes Junior Walcler de Lima , Dias Juliana Michaello Macêdo
Published: June 2023

O artigo trata da discussão acerca de novas possibilidades de narrativas etnográfica audiovisual, compreendendo os deslocamentos produzidos a partir do pensamento pós-estruturalista. Tal abordagem interpela o documentarista com questões como o que configura um documentário etnográfico, se tomarmos o pensamento antropológico a partir de Lévi-Strauss e atravessado por Derrida e Deleuze. A investigação além de um caráter teórico, se estrutura em reflexões desenvovlidas a partir da produção documental de caráter experimental do Grupo de Pesquisa Nordestanças através de seu núcleo de audiovisual Nordestanças Filmes. O conjunto audivisual citado organiza memorias e experiências de pesquisa em narrativas e diálogos com pessoas e lugares. A série “Tudo que não invento é falso” – configurada como articuladora dos documentários produzidos pelo grupo, como o próprio título afirma, discute a noção de verdade documental, compreendendo que os depoimentos, confabulações e narrativas constituídas no diálogo entre documentaristas e sujeitos narrativos se constroem como invenções. A partir das reflexões pós-estruturalistas, parte-se da premissa que todo discurso é invenção de mundo e esse discurso, por sua vez, constitui efeitos de verdade.
