Optimized Procedure to Schedule Physicians in an Intensive Care Unit: A Case Study
Authors: Hidri Lotfi , Gazdar Achraf , M. Mabkhot Mohammed
Published: November 2020

Hospitals are facing an important financial pressure due to the increasing of the operating costs. Indeed, the growth for the hospitals’ services demand causes a rising in the number of required qualified personnel. Enlarging the personnel number increases dramatically the fixed total cost. Based on some studies, 50% of operating costs in US hospitals are allocated to healthcare personnel. Therefore, reducing these types of costs without damaging the service quality becomes a priority and an obligation. In this context, several studies focused on minimizing the total cost by producing optimal or near optimal schedules for nurses and physicians. In this paper, a real-life physicians scheduling problem with cost minimization is addressed. This problem is encountered in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where the current schedule is manually produced. The manual schedule is generating a highly unbalanced load within physicians in addition to a high cost overtime. The manual schedule preparation is a time consuming procedure. The main objective of this work is to propose a procedure that systematically produces an optimal schedule. This optimal schedule minimizes the total overtime within a short time and should satisfies the faced constraints. The studied problem is mathematically formulated as an integer linear program. The constraints are real, hard, and some of them are non-classical ones (compared to the existing literature). The obtained mathematical model is solved using a state-of-the-art software. Experimental tests on real data have shown the performance of the proposed procedure. Indeed, the new optimal schedules reduce the total overtime by up to 69%. In addition, a more balanced workload for physicians is obtained and several physician preferences are now satisfied.
State Feedback Regulation Problem to the Reaction-Diffusion Equation
Authors: Jurado Francisco , Ramírez Andrés A.
Published: November 2020

In this work, we explore the state feedback regulator problem (SFRP) in order to achieve the goal for trajectory tracking with harmonic disturbance rejection to one-dimensional (1-D) reaction-diffusion (R-D) equation, namely, a partial differential equation of parabolic type, while taking into account bounded input, output, and disturbance operators, a finite-dimensional exosystem (exogenous system), and the state of the exosystem as the state to the feedback law. As is well-known, the SFRP can be solved only if the so-called Francis (regulator) equations have solution. In our work, we try with the solution of the Francis equations from the 1-D R-D equation following given criteria to the eigenvalues from the exosystem and transfer function of the system, but the state operator is here defined in terms of the Sturm–Liouville differential operator (SLDO). Within this framework, the SFRP is then solved for the 1-D R-D equation. The numerical simulation results validate the performance of the regulator.

Published: November 2020

Background and objectives: Major depressive disorder (MDD) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent serious and prevalent medical conditions. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunctions, expressed by parameters of heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate turbulence (HRT), have been repeatedly associated with depression. The aim of our study was to identify potential HRV and HRT alterations in patients with MDD, before and after selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) therapy, and to observe any correlations between these parameters and the severity of depressive symptoms. Another aim was to evidence if there was a normalization or improvement of HRV and HRT parameters that paralleled the reduction of the intensity of depressive symptoms. Materials and Methods: We studied heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate turbulence (HRT) in a sample of 78 patients, aged under 51 years, who were referred to our outpatient clinic between June 2017 and December 2019, for complaints in the context of a new onset major depressive disorder (MDD), before and after therapy with SSRIs. Results: By using 24 h Holter ECG monitoring, we evidenced alterations of HRV and HRT parameters, significantly correlated with the severity of depressive symptoms (p < 0.001), as assessed by the Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). Our results indicated that these parameters improved following one and six months of SSRI therapy, when a partial or total remission of depressive symptoms was achieved (p < 0.001). Changes in HRV parameters were correlated with the reduction of the severity of depression. Conclusions: In our study group, we highlighted, through 24 h ECG Holter monitoring, frequent and clear HRV and HRT abnormalities that were statistically correlated with the severity of depressive symptoms. Furthermore, we were able to document a progressive improvement of these parameters, which corresponded with the improvement of depressive symptoms under SSRI therapy, when compared to the values measured before the commencement of antidepressant pharmacotherapy.
JAK-STAT Inhibitors in Atopic Dermatitis from Pathogenesis to Clinical Trials Results
Authors: Szalus Krzysztof , Trzeciak Magdalena , Nowicki Roman J.
Published: November 2020

A common disease worldwide is known as atopic dermatitis (AD), named also as atopic eczema, which is a chronic recurrent complex inflammatory skin disorder. It affects 2–10% of the adult population and up to 20% of the pediatric population. The clinical AD picture appears in typically localized eczema and dry skin, and is dominated by a persistent pruritus followed by sleep disturbances. AD strongly impacts on the quality of life of AD patients and their families as well as on social and economic aspects. The pathogenesis of the disease is complex and consists of multiple interactions between immunological disturbances, skin barrier defect, and microbial dysbiosis with environmental influences. The treatment of AD reflects the pathogenetic disorders, starting from basic emollient therapy, and goes to topical anti-inflammatory regimens followed by phototherapy, systemic immunosuppressive drugs, and new biologic immunomodulators. This paper will thus summarize the novel collection of biological treatment JAK-STAT inhibitors dedicated to AD.

Quantification with satisfactory specificity and sensitivity of free 3-Nitro-l-tyrosine (3-NT), 3-Chloro-l-tyrosine (3-CT), and 3-Bromo-l-tyrosine (3-BT) in biological samples as potential inflammation, oxidative stress, and cancer biomarkers is analytically challenging. We aimed at developing a liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based method for their simultaneous analysis without an extract purification step by solid-phase extraction. Validation of the developed method yielded the following limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) for 3-NT, 3-BT, and 3-CT: 0.030, 0.026, 0.030 ng/mL (LODs) and 0.100, 0.096, 0.098 ng/mL (LOQs). Coefficients of variation for all metabolites and tested concentrations were <10% and accuracy was within 95–105%. Method applicability was tested on colorectal cancer patients during the perioperative period. All metabolites were significantly higher in cancer patients than healthy controls. The 3-NT was significantly lower in advanced cancer and 3-BT showed a similar tendency. Dynamics of 3-BT in the early postoperative period were affected by type of surgery and presence of surgical site infections. In conclusion, a sensitive and specific LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous quantification of free 3-NT, 3-BT, and 3-CT in human plasma has been developed.
Higher-Order Information Measures from Cumulative Densities in Continuous Variable Quantum Systems
Authors: Salazar Saúl J. C. , Laguna Humberto G. , Sagar Robin P.
Published: November 2020

A definition of three-variable cumulative residual entropy is introduced, and then used to obtain expressions for higher order or triple-wise correlation measures, that are based on cumulative residual densities. These information measures are calculated in continuous variable quantum systems comprised of three oscillators, and their behaviour compared to the analogous measures from Shannon information theory. There is an overall consistency in the behaviour of the newly introduced measures as compared to the Shannon ones. There are, however, differences in interpretation, in the case of three uncoupled oscillators, where the correlation is due to wave function symmetry. In interacting systems, the cumulative based measures are shown in order to detect salient features, which are also present in the Shannon based ones.
Influence of Two Important Leguminous Trees on Their Soil Microbiomes and Nitrogen Cycle Activities in a Primary and Recovering Secondary Forest in the Northern Zone of Costa Rica

Published: November 2020

Inga edulis and Pentaclethra macroloba are dominant N-fixing forest trees in Costa Rica, likely important for recovery of soil N and C after deforestation, yet little is known of their soil microbiomes nor how land use impacts them. Soils from both trees in a primary and secondary forest were assessed for N-cycle metrics and DNA sequence-based composition of total bacterial, potential N-fixing bacterial, and potential ammonium oxidizing bacterial genera. The compositions of the functional groups of bacteria, but not their total relative abundance of DNA, were different across the soils. The P. macroloba soils had greater NO3− levels and richness of both functional groups, while I. edulis soils had greater NH4+ levels, consistent with its NH4+ preference for root nodule development. The bacterial communities were different by habitat, as secondary forest I. edulis microbiomes were less rich, more dominant, possibly more affected by the disturbance, or reached equilibrium status quicker than the richer, less dominant P. macroloba microbiomes, which may be developing slower along with secondary forest succession, or were less affected by the disturbance. Functional redundancy and switching of 10 N-cycle bacterial genera was evident between the primary and secondary forest soils, likely to maintain stable levels of N-cycle activity following disturbance. In summary, the two tree soil microbiomes are different, land use differentially affects them, and, thus, both tree species should be used during forest regeneration strategies in this region.
THE SERVICE AND EDUCATIONAL MISSION OF THE CHURCH IN MODERN SOCIETY AS A FACTOR OF FORMING THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE SOCIAL IDEAL
Authors: Kysliy Anatoliy
Published: November 2020

The Church, having a rich experience of work in the social environment, tries not only to serve humanity, realizing its vocation, but also to fulfill the educational mission, which is unique in meaning, content and forms of expression. The gradual development of modern theological thought and religious philosophy is influenced by the understanding of the Church's involvement in the current priorities of social life as a certain spiritual and moral arbiter. The complexity of the question of the influence of Christianity on the formation of the value bases of the social ideal lies in the confessional features of the positioning of churches in a globalized world.

This paper considers the use of highly permeable concrete, al-so known as drainage, porous, coarse-grained, moisture-permeable, permeable concrete, in road construction, which is a special type of concrete whose porosity is higher than most others. High permeability of water through the body of the concrete structure to the lower layers of the base is achieved due to interconnected pores and voids. Highly permeable concrete pavement is used to reduce local floods in ur-ban areas, acting as a sustainable drainage system. The permeability of permeable con-crete can be reduced during operation due to clogging of pores, this leads to a limitation of the service life of such a coating. The issues of studying the mechanism of clogging and ways to combat it remain open.

Generalization and analysis of scientific hypotheses and theories of domestic and foreign researchers in the field of the frost action mechanism on concrete has been performed. A critical author's assessment of them from the point of view of the basics of physical chemistry of silicates and solid state physics is presented. The initial prerequisites for the frost resistance of heavy concrete and equal-strength structural light concrete in connection with their structure are formulated, including of this article author's targeted experimental studies on the relationship of the frost resistance of these concretes with their pore structure. Thermodynamic models of freezing-thawing of water, including its adsorption layers in capillaries of cement materials porous structures are used. The data of studies of the critical degree of water saturation of concrete are considered and a reasonable assessment of it is given as an integral characteristic that determines the possibility of formation of micro- and then macro-defects in the concrete structure during its cyclic freezing and thawing. Based on the results of analytical and experimental studies, using the basic principles of physics of the solid state, as well as the physical and physical-chemistry of silicates, has been developed the physical-chemical basis for the resistance of structural lightweight concrete in comparison with equally strong normal weight concrete to the effects of low (up to minus 70 °C) subzero temperatures. The results of this work are considered by the authors as a modern scientific basis for the development of the main provisions of the technology for manufacturing structural lightweight and normal weight concretes with high durability (frost resistance and water resistance), intended for reinforced concrete structures of engineering constructions, operated in severe climatic conditions, including in the conditions of the Arctic coast.

The article describes the approach to evaluation of a friction pile bearing capacity based on the parabolic distribution of a skin friction in multi-layer soil bases. The design equationsare obtained for evaluated the ultimate load on an axial loaded pile in multi-layer soil using the new design scheme. The advantage of the proposed approach is to obtain some experimental parameters that take into account the actual interaction of the pile and soil on the construction site. Negative friction forces (from the reaction force under the pile end) negatively affect the pile bearing capacity. The numerical example is given for a friction pile in the soil base with two layers. The proposed equation also allows calculating various parameters: the soil stress under the piletoe, the pile effective length, relative deformations along the pile, etc.

O emprego de espécies vegetais no tratamento de doenças acompanha a civilização por toda a sua história. Dentre as espécies mais utilizadas popularmente figura a Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão mais conhecida por Aroeira-do-sertão ou Aroeira Preta. A Aroeira tornou-se foco da curiosidade científica e é grande o número de estudos para a determinação de suas ações. Já existe comprovação de atividade antioxidante, anti-inflamatória e antimicrobiana, dando embasamento científico à aplicação empírica do vegetal. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo determinar a atividade antiradicalar do extrato etanólico da casca da espécie Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão através de ensaios laboratoriais. A atividade antioxidante foi determinada através do método DPPH (2,2-difenil-1-picril-hidrazil), baseado na capacidade do extrato de capturar o radical livre orgânico. Para a determinação do teor de compostos fenólicos foi utilizado o método espectrofotométrico de Folin-Ciocalteu e por curva de calibração do ácido gálico. Já a prospecção fitoquímica seguiu os parâmetros determinados por Matos. A análise da atividade antiradicalar da Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão mostrou que mesmo em concentrações baixas a espécie apresenta atividade antioxidante que pode ser correlacionada à quantidade de metabólitos secundários como os das classes dos compostos fenólicos e dos flavonoides. Pela comparação com dados existentes na literatura pode-se perceber que a planta não só apresenta atividade como também tem propriedades superiores a outras espécies como jenipapo, seriguela e umbu. Através dos resultados obtidos e sua comparação com dados na literatura pode-se afirmar que as ações benéficas da espécie Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão vão além do conhecimento popular, alcançando validação científica dessas propriedades.

РИТОРИЧЕСКИЙ РЕЖИМ ПРОПОВЕДИ В САТИРАХ А.Д. КАНТЕМИРА
Authors: Довгий Ольга
Published: November 2020

The paper is a continuation of a series of publications by the author on the poetics of A. Cantemir’s satires and is devoted to the interpretation of satires through the prism of speech modes – in particular, the mode of the sermon. The sermon is considered exclusively from an artistic point of view: as a speech of the consultative type (according to Aristotle), possessing a set of its own rhetorical techniques. A successive analysis of the functions of a «sermon» in five satires makes it possible to acknowledge the long–term benefits of the interpretation of satires from the perspectives of the sermon and confession modes, along with the possibility of studying the polyphonic tone of satires.

The article deals with the peculiar features of the confessional strategy in the novels La Confession d'un enfant du siècle (1836) by Alfred de Musset and La Confession d’une jeune fille (1864) by George Sand. The author analyses correlation between the universal and the gender marked principles in the authors’ style of the presentation of events. There have been revealed similarities at the level of the plot model (the story of a young man/woman growing up), the narrative organization (confession), the motives’ structure (orphanhood, self-identification, “sentimental education”), which have been determined by the influence of the genre tradition and the authors’ Romantic worldview. At the same time, the differences in the composition, the criteria for the selection of material, the degree of frankness and self-esteem show the dependence of the confessional text on gender.
ИСПОВЕДАЛЬНОСТЬ В ПОЭЗИИ ВЯЧЕСЛАВА ИВАНОВА: ПРЕДВАРИТЕЛЬНЫЕ ЗАМЕЧАНИЯ
Authors: Быстров Никита
Published: November 2020

The article traces parallels between some confessional situations in the poetry of Vyacheslav Ivanov and the Confessions of St. Augustine. The question is raised about the ability of Ivanov`s symbolism to reproduce the existential uncertainty (ignorance of the further path, the actual rejection of its foreshadowing by culture and intellectual experience), to which the confession should lead the subject, if s/he follows the principle of Augustine`s „transcende te ipsum”. When the state of confession is pre-established by a system of symbols with a „ready” meaning, it risks losing its uniqueness: the confession can be replaced by some universal „scheme” of confessionality, which happens in a number of the Ivanov`s poems. Thus, the article delineates one of the possible perspectives of the further study of the claimed topic.

Despite the fact that Jacques Prévert’s ideas were explicitly anti-clerical, in his work there are some elements of preaching, since we interpret the sermon in a wide, not narrowly religious sense of the word. The author preaches the joy of life and a human attitude toward other (weaker) living creatures, which people traditionally consider as inferior. In this paper we will consider some elements of preaching in Prévert’s poems and we will identify the main linguistic means of its transmission in the texts under analysis.
LITERARY NONCE WORDS AS A TRANSLATION PROBLEM (BASED ON ENGLISH LITERARY TALES)
Authors: Borisenko Yu.A.
Published: November 2020

The article examines specific characteristics of literary nonce words on the example of English literary tales. It attempts to classify them on the basis of the word-building patterns used (highlighting the so-called nursery words and nonce words proper). It also describes their main functions in a literary text. The research objectives also included a comparative analysis of the translations of famous English literary tales. The analysis proved that the main translation strategies while dealing with literary nonce words are the creation of nonce words in the target language, descriptive translation and compensation. The most successful translation decisions take into account the target audience of readers and include the use of wordplay, as well as phonetic expressive means such as rhyme, alliteration and onomatopoeia. In general, the translation of nonce words directly depends on the specifics of word-building patterns that exist in the source and target languages.
OUT OF TIME CHARACTERS IN LITERARY WORKS OF 1859: “FAMILY HAPPINESS” BY LEV TOLSTOY, “OBLOMOV” BY IVAN GONCHAROV, “A HOUSE OF GENTLEFOLK” BY IVAN TURGENEV
Authors: Rebel G.M.
Published: November 2020

The article is a comparative structural, thematic and genre analysis of the works by Lev Tolstoy, Ivan Turgenev and Ivan Goncharov. The study had the following objectives: to give the genre definitions of “Family Happiness”, “Oblomov” and “A House of Gentlefolk” on the basis of structural, ideological and thematic features of the works; to compare the novels of Turgenev and Goncharov as different genre modifications; to justify the ideological character of the novel “A House of Gentlefolk”; to analyze the ideological controversy of the characters of Turgenev’s novel. As a result, the following conclusions were made. Tolstoy's “Family Happiness:, which is traditionally identified as a novel, in this case should be qualified as a novella: it has the predominant point of view which belongs to the narrator; the subject of the description are the episodes of private life presented outside of the socio-historical context of the era. Goncharov's “Oblomov” and Turgenev's “A House of Gentlefolk” present a multi-faceted, epically voluminous, large-scale picture of reality in two fundamentally different versions of the genre novel modifications. Despite the fact that in both novels the main characters are out of time, both works recreate the pre-reform atmosphere of the late 1850s, but perform it in fundamentally different ways. A mythologically-generalized, elegiac image of the past serfdom of Russia is presented in “Oblomov”. In “A House of Gentlefolk” the socio-historical specificity appears in close connection with real historical events, the lyrical beginning is organically combined with the polemical acuteness of the problem. The plot and the destinies of the characters in Turgenev's novel are determined by the ideological controversy, in which not only the main but also the secondary characters are subjectively or objectively involved, which ultimately determines the ideological character of the work. The proposed genre differentiation of the works of the three leading writers of the era allows us to give a dynamic cross-section of the literary process of the second half of the XIX century in the defining 1859 year of this period.
PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF AN INCLUSIVE EDUCATION TEACHER FROM COMPETENCY-BASED APPROACH POSITION
Authors: Suntsova A.S. , Baranov A.A.
Published: November 2020

The relevance of the theoretical study presented in the article is due to the need for scientific support for the training of teachers for activities in the context of inclusive education. The competency-based approach is the theoretical basis for the development of teacher’s professional activity model that meets the requirements of taking into account the specifics of educational needs of students from different groups. However, the positions of competency-based approach are interpreted ambiguously in pedagogy, and this complicates its theoretical and empirical application. The purpose of this article is to analyze the competency-based approach as a concrete scientific methodology for modeling the personal and professional characteristics of an inclusive education teacher. As leading methods we used: analysis, synthesis, generalization, modeling. The results obtained made it possible to identify both the possibilities and limitations of the competency-based approach in the study and justification of the personal and professional characteristics of pedagogical activity. Its use is advisable in conjunction with basic research of professional pedagogical activity, revealing its essential semantic, nuclear characteristics. It is indicated that as a conceptual basis for applying the competency-based approach to the practice of inclusive education it is proposed to consider N.V Kuzmina’s theory of personality professionalism and activity, which is heuristic to the contemporary research problems of transprofessionalism of a specialist.

The ablation threshold fluence and crater morphology of amorphous and crystalline SiO2 glass were analyzed in the regime of an extreme ultraviolet femtosecond pulse. Despite the difference between the densities (or optical penetration depths) of amorphous and crystalline SiO2 glass, the ablation threshold fluences and crater morphologies were found to be comparable. In addition, we compared our experimental results at a 10.3 nm wavelength with those in a previous work at a 13.5 nm wavelength. We conclude that the impact of the difference in density or optical penetration depth of several tens of percent on the ablation process is limited.
Effect of transient behavior on off-state current in poly-Si junctionless nanowire thin-film transistor
Authors: Kang Tsung-Kuei , Hsu Che-Fu , Liu Han-Wen , Chien Feng-Tso , Lin Cheng-Li
Published: November 2020

For forward sweeping of V
GS, the unpredicted negative drain current is observed in our L-type double-gated junctionless transistor. This reveals that in addition to gate-induced drain leakage, there is an another mechanism that causes this negative drain current. According to some measurements, it is found that the negative drain current is related to the steep V
GS transition, and the large reduction of hole density in the nanowire channel induces a transient negative drain current. Based on this mechanism, for reverse sweeping of V
GS, the positive drain current is measured due to an increment of hole density in the nanowire channel. To explain the mechanism well, the hole density in the Si channel is simulated and an AC model is proposed. Finally, it is likely that the transient negative current of the drain is also affected by the gate transient current, besides the large reduction of hole density.

A szerző tanulmányában arra keresi a választ, hogy az erkölcsi és morális szempontok miként befolyásolják a katonai műveleteket, s milyen szerepe van az etikának a modern önkéntes haderők alkalmazásában.
Fixing the Fix for Silver and Gold
Authors: Crain Susan , Hoelscher Seth , Jones Jeffrey
Published: November 2020

Accusations of price manipulation in the silver and gold markets have emerged in recent years. In an effort to increase transparency, the London spot price “fixing” mechanism was recently changed from an opaque negotiation process among a small number of dealer banks to a more observable auction platform system with more participants and public reporting. This change in the price fixing process raises questions about whether manipulation was occurring prior to the fix change and whether any perceived manipulation has since been reduced. Our results suggest that the changes to the price fixing process have impacted volatilities and prices within the silver and gold markets which could be an indicator of manipulation prior to the change.
Understanding Chefchaouen
Authors: Dipasquale Letizia
Published: November 2020

The medina of Chefchaouen represents an architectural heritage of great value and its building culture constitutes a repertoire of knowledge to be safeguarded as an expression of cultural diversity in the relationship between society and nature. The volume presents the results of an in-depth research on the knowledge system that constitutes the local building culture of the medina, highlighting the characteristics of the construction systems, the risks to which the traditional heritage is subject, and its contribution to the development of a sustainable habitat. The book addresses the theme of the built heritage of the medina with an interdisciplinary approach, which includes architecture as part of a system that has to be studied along with the natural, social and cultural contexts.
Challenges, Implications, And Inspirations For Philosophy Of Tim Ingold’s Wayfaring
Authors: N. Limahekin A. Bastian
Published: November 2020

Abstract: Tim Ingold is known in contemporary Anglophone social anthropology to be an original thinker who dares to think outside the mainstream of the discipline. His anthropological works are philosophically informed and heavily influenced by phenomenology. They account for and pay heed to “life,” to the dynamism taking place in all the observed things, including non-living beings. Central to his anthropology of life is the notion of wayfaring. This article purports to introduce this notion and to explore the challenges, implications and inspirations it has for philosophy while taking a critical stand towards Ingold’s account. It argues that the notion envisions citizens who have strong civic ties but at the same time can empathise with people of other countries. It argues furthermore that Ingold’s critique of philosophy as embedded in such a notion can serve as an inspiration for doing philosophy in a more fruitful way, i.e., doing philosophy as wayfaring.

 

Keywords: Wayfaring, logic of inversion, meshwork, armchair approach, philosophy-as-a-wayfaring.

 

Abstrak: Tim Ingold dikenal sebagai seorang antropolog sosial Anglofon kontemporer yang memiliki pemikiran orisinal dan berani berpikir di luar arus utama disiplin ilmunya. Karya-karya antropologisnya adalah karya yang melek filsafat and sangat dipengaruhi oleh fenomenologi. Karya-karya tersebut peka terhadap “kehidupan,” terhadap dinamika yang berlangsung pada setiap hal yang diamati, termasuk keberadaan yang tidak hidup. Salah satu konsep penting dalam pemikiran antropologisnya adalah pengembaraan. Dalam artikel ini penulis bermaksud memperkenalkan konsep tersebut serta mengeksplorasi tantangan, implikasi, dan inspirasinya terhadap filsafat sambil mengritik beberapa klaim Ingold. Penulis berpendapat bahwa konsep tersebut menawarkan sebuah visi tentang warga negara yang memiliki identitas sipil dan ikatan antarwarga yang kuat, namun pada saat yang sama memiliki empati terhadap warga negeri lain. Selain itu, penulis melihat kritik yang dilancarkan Ingold terhadap filsafat sebagai sebuah inspirasi dan undangan untuk mencari jalan menuju sebuah cara berfilsafat yang lebih merunduk ke bumi dan berbela rasa: berfilsafat sebagai sebuah pengembaraan bersama dengan yang-lain dan penuh empati terhadap yang-lain.

Manusia Sebagai “Kami”Menurut Plotinos
Authors: Wibowo A. Setyo
Published: November 2020

Abstrak: Bertitiktolak dari teori Prosesi (proodos) realitas, Plotinos menyatakan bahwa manusia adalah sebuah pluralitas, sebuah “kami,” di mana sebagai bagian utuh dari realitas, jiwa manusia merangkumi di dalamnya ketiga hipostasis intellingibel (Yang Satu, Intellek, Jiwa). Kesatuan aktual manusia dengan dunia intelligibel diungkapkan Plotinos dalam doktrinnya yang kontroversial tentang bagian jiwa manusia yang tidak turun ke dunia. Pemikiran Plotinos ini merupakan rangkuman orisinal atas ajaran-ajaran Platon tentang imortalitas jiwa, doktrin hylemorfisme Aristoteles dalam ranah Fisika—kategori-kategori forma, materia, potentia actus, entelekheia, dan energeia, motor immobil, noûs yang memikirkan dirinya sendiri—serta teori Logos dari Stoicisme. Sebagaimana tampak dalam prinsip energeia ganda, Plotinos secara kreatif menggunakan sumber-sumber para pendahulunya untuk mengemukakan teori barunya tentang realitas, khususnya tentang jiwa manusia.

Kata-kata kunci: imortalitas jiwa, hylemorfisme, logos, prosesi, hipostasis, Yang Satu, Intellek, Jiwa.

Abstract: The procession of reality leads Plotinus to assert that man is a plurality. As part of reality, each of us is a “we,” because all three hypostases (the One, the Intellect, and the Soul) are present in us. This is a controversial theory of soul. Plotinus affirms that man is actually present in the intelligible world by the undescended part of his soul. To understand this original theory, one has to consider the way Plotinus used his predecessors’ theories: the Platonic theory of the soul’s immortality, the hylemorphism theory of Aristotle’s Physics (form, matter, potency, actuality, entelechy, energy, unmoved mover, noûs which thinks its noema), and the Stoics’ theory of Logos. As shown in the theory of double energy, Plotinus used creatively the theories of those predecessors to invent his own theory of the procession of reality, more specifically, his unique theory of man’s soul.

Keywords: immortality of the soul, hylemorphism, logos, procession, hypostase, the One, Intellect, Soul.
