Clinical findings and main considerations of the use of bisphosphonate in dental implants: a concise systematic review
Authors: Henk Eliton , Manzini Régis
Published: February 2022

Introduction: In the scenario of dental implant and osseointegration, it is highlighted that the scope of modern dentistry is to restore the patient's normal comfort, function, esthetics, speech, and health. More than one million dental implants are performed each year in the USA. Bisphosphonates (BP) have been the best drug associated with a significant improvement in the quality of life of patients with bone diseases such as Paget's disease, bone metastases, osteogenesis imperfecta, hypercalcemia, and even severe osteoporosis. Objective: Aimed to carry out a concise systematic review of the main considerations regarding the use of bisphosphonate in osseointegration for dental implants. Methods: The present study followed by a systematic review model, following the rules of systematic review – PRISMA. The search strategy was performed in the PubMed, Scielo, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. The Cochrane Instrument was used to assess the risk of bias of the included studies. Results: Bisphosphonate coating of dental implants is a promising tool for surface modification, aiming to improve the osseointegration process and clinical outcome. The biological effects of bisphosphonates are thought to be primarily associated with inhibition of osteoclasts, whereas their effects on osteoblast function are unclear. Thus, surfaces coated with bisphosphonates to stimulate osteoblast differentiation have been investigated by several in vitro studies with contradictory results. Conclusion: Based on results, osteoporosis is a metabolic condition that affects alveolar bone density, but it does not present problems for the installation of osseointegrated implants, as long as there is sufficient bone mass in the region where the tooth will be implanted. Locally administered bisphosphonates induce bone regeneration in periodontal defects and decrease the rate of marginal bone loss after dental implant therapy.
Determinants of holistic thinking in engineering demographics

Published: February 2022

The current workforce climate has naturally led the way for wanting more systemic thinking individuals. This increasing complexity demands that universities train engineering students to be able to handle such difficulties amidst the interconnectedness of the world. This study aims to aid in understanding what will help the future leaders of the world become more equipped to handle these global and complex systems. College engineering students were the target population of this study. It was found that neither gender, educational level, grade point average, nor having an internship or co-op helped aid students to have higher systems thinking skills. However, employment status was found to affect the systems thinking skills scores. Laying the foundation for understanding engineering students’ ability to be more or less holistic thinkers, this research aims to help evolve engineering education.
Stewarding 2,4-D- and dicamba- based weed control technologies in cotton and soybean production systems
Authors:   , Buol John Tyler
Published: February 2022

Distinguishing 2,4-D and dicamba herbicide formulations in cotton and soybean tissue is challenging in regulation of crop injury from these herbicides. Additionally, stewardship of 2,4-D and dicamba technologies is important to maximize their longevity and efficacy. Research was conducted to (1) characterize cotton and soybean response to various formulations of 2,4-D or dicamba with or without glyphosate, (2) develop a method for classifying these formulations in crop tissue, and (3) optimize use of chloroacetamide herbicides in dicamba systems for mitigation of selection pressure on dicamba. Formulations evaluated include dicamba diglycolamine (DGA), dimethylamine (DMA), N,N-Bis-(3-aminopropyl) methylamine (BAPMA), and DGA plus potassium acetate (KAc); and 2,4-D DMA, acid, isooctyl ester (ESTER), and choline. Weed management by the chloroacetamides s-metolachlor and acetochlor was evaluated with applications preemergence (PRE), early postemergence (EP), late postemergence (LP), PRE followed by (fb) EP, PRE fb LP, and EP fb LP. Cotton and soybean response differed by 2,4-D and dicamba formulation, and glyphosate presence. Cotton yield was reduced by 200 to 500 kg ha-1 following exposure to 2,4-D choline or DMA relative to acid or ESTER. Glyphosate presence led to a reduction in cotton and soybean yield of 377 and 572 kg ha-1, respectively. Exposure to dicamba DMA resulted in a 263 kg ha-1 reduction in soybean yield relative to dicamba DGA, and glyphosate presence reduced yield by 439 and 246 kg ha-1 in cotton and soybeans, respectively. Chemometric analyses generated models capable of up to 85% accuracy in identifying dicamba formulation in cotton and soybean tissue, and up to 80% accuracy in identifying 2,4-D formulation. Split chloroacetamide applications improved cotton yield up to 60%, reduced weed densities up to 90%, and improved control up to 56% relative to single applications. Cotton height was reduced up to 23% if a single chloroacetamide application was made. Soybean yield was maximized following any chloroacetamide application timing except PRE alone, and weed control was reduced up to 31% following single chloroacetamide application relative to split applications. These results will aid regulatory bodies in managing use of new weed control technologies and will assist producers in stewarding these new technologies.
Hospital-community relations in rural county, Mississippi
Authors:   , Grisham Vaughn LeRoy
Published: February 2022

The objective of this study was to describe hospital-community relations in Rural County, Mississippi and to discover those factors which were related to the choice of a hospital by the respondents. Data for the study came largely from personal interviews with 150 rural white housewives. Additional data were obtained from interviews with the physicians, hospital administrator, board or trustees, and hospital auxiliary. The study began with a description of the hospital situation in the county, this included the acceptance of the county hospital by the community, and the satisfaction expressed concerning the services of the hospital. The major part of the thesis involved an effort to determine the factors which were related to the choice of one of two hospitals in the community, although persons who would choose a hospital outside the county were given consideration. To discover these factors, both quantitative and nonquantitative variables were tested to discover their relation to the choice made by the respondents. The findings revealed that those persons who had had contact with the county hospital, either through personal use or through some member of the family, ranked high on the acceptance index. Those persons who had this contact with the county hospital were generally highly satisfied with its services. It was also found that choice of a hospital could not satisfactorally be accounted for by the objective characteristics of the respondents. It was found that four nonquantitative factors were highly related to the choice of a hospital. These were: (1) loyalty to the physician, (2) past experience with the hospital, (3) the better facilities of a hospital, and (4) the recommendation of a physician. It was concluded that hospital-community relations between the county hospital and the rural areas of the county were fairly weak. This was due to a later start of the county hospital, and also because of the great amount of loyalty to the physicians of the older hospital.

Európa – világi és vallási érdekeink és eszményeink tere
Authors: Hidas Zoltán
Published: February 2022

The present study aims at delivering some crucial aspects of thinking about Europe, this subcontinent with vague geographical profiles. The starting point of my considerations is a deep contemporary sense of crisis concerning the future of our inherited world, faced with other cultural and material elements carried by migration processes. Firstly, based on Max Weber’s distinction between worldly and religious, the specific modern European culture is outlined in its differentiation of several spheres of interests and ideas (such as economy, politics, science, religion). The ideal-typical reconstruction of the modern European relation to the world, called world-dominance, reveals not only a specifically active and forming attitude but also clear signs of the presence of religion. In a second step, the main cultural and material roots of Europe are developed in their heterogenities, conflicts and combinations. Ancient Greek and Biblical traditions are prolonged, renewed and partly replaced by Enlightenment projects of freedom and sovereignty. Europe seems to be a historically singular stress-field of material and ideal factors. The self-exploring freedom, the creative productivity and the self-critical criticism of man, bound up with respectful reciprocity in the order of interdependence: these fundaments of recent European humanity cannot be harmonized with any other vision of the world.

Published: February 2022

Pectinases are most significant enzymes of commercial sector. Among all the commercially produced industrial enzymes, pectinases occupy 25% share in the overall enzyme market. Pectinases have wide applications in various processes such as fruit juice clarification, wastewater remediation and textile and paper industry etc. Pectinase is most suitable environment friendly tool of nature for sustainable development. Although, pectinases alike many other commercial enzymes are facing the imperative of low harvest and yield. Hence, pectinases have been the objective of research to accomplish the commercial scale articulation levels. To find unique physicochemical properties of pectinases often microbial pectinases are utilized among all the natural sources due to ease in production. Present study primarily centers on the different types of recent techniques for the alkaline pectinases production and optimization strategies advancement for high production yield. For achieving higher production of the extracellular alkaline pectinases by utilizing basic fermentation media and simple molecular devices along with genetic engineering approaches are included in the present study. For the improved alkaline pectinase production advanced genetic engineering techniques such as gene cloning, tools of r-DNA technology and cell immobilization technique are discussed.

In thе prеsent studу, a simрle protосоl for in vitro rooting induction of the important medicinal plant Coleus forskohlii Briq with a high content of secondary metabolites with antioxidant activity was described. For the in vitro germination seeds of C. forskohlii were placed on MS medium suррlemented with 0.4 mg L-1 gibberellic acid and 1.0 mg L-1 CaCl2. The оbtаinеd shoots were cultured on a half-strength ½ MS medium containing indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) or indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) at concentrations of 0.1 and 0.5 mg L-1. The maximum rooting of plants (95%) with mean values of 9.2 roots per explant, root length (5.1 cm) and root fresh weight (0.085 g) was obtained on half-strength MS medium with 0.1 mg L-1 IAA after three weeks of culture. The plants were successfully ex vitro adapted with 93.3% survival on the mixture substrate of soil, peat and sand (2:1:1 v/v/v). The antioxidant enzymes асtivitiеs (superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase and guaiacol peroxidase) showed the highest values when IBA was used for C. forskohlii in vitro cultivation. Applied auxins influenced the level of secondary metabolites synthesis. Half strength MS culture medium supplemented with 0.5 mg L-1 IAA caused the highest total phenol and flavonoid content as well as the highest antioxidant activity level (radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power). The results indiсаte thаt orgаnоgenеsis is а very соmplicated biologiсаl prосеss involving up and downregulation of plant enzyme and non-enzyme antioxidant protection systems, which plау an imроrtant role during the organogenesis of plants.

Published: February 2022

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) appeared as outbreak in 2019 in Wuhan, China. It has been classified as pandemic disease and more severe than predicted; with infections already recorded in a variety of countries. This study aims to confirm the COVID-19 infection through the following tests: hematological, C-reactive protein (CRP). Samples were collected from the infected patients and sent to the National Flu Center (Central Public Health Laboratory) for COVID-19 (positive or negative) diagnosis by the RT-PCR technique. In this study, sixty five of COVID-19 patients and twenty five of healthy control samples male and female were collected in Iraq. There are significant differences in the parameters of the hematological markers for patients in comparing with the control group and no significant differences were observed in Hb when RBC and GRAN percent rise in patients relative to the control group with P=0.0395 and P=0.0354 respectively comparing with the control group. White blood cells (WBC), Lymphocyte (LYM%), Platelets (PIT), monocyte (Mid%), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean platelet volume (MPV), plateletcrit (PCT) was drop dramatically in patients compared to control group. Fifty-one of patients for whom the test was given exhibited a positive (CRP) result. Likewise, the results showed that few patients were negative to CRP test. The Hematological parameters levels (HCT, MCV, MCH, Pelt, WBC, LYM, Mid, MPV, PCT) decreased, but Hb, RBC, GRAN% increased. C-reactive protein test showed a positive result in 85% of patients which can be considered an indicator for predicting severity infection with COVID-19.

Published: February 2022

Bee bread is derived from bee collected pollen which is processed by the bee, fermented and stored in the hive. Few studies have assessed the antimicrobial activity of bee bread against major bacterial pathogens and fungi. However, to the best of our knowledge, neither bee collected pollen nor bee bread, have so far been investigated for their antiviral properties. In the present study, 18 Greek bee bread and 2 pollen samples from different botanical sources and geographical locations were assessed regarding their in vitro antiviral activity against Enterovirus D68. A cell culture assay combined with a comparative Real-Time PCR assay was performed using different sample concentrations to assess the antiviral activity. MTT assay was implemented in order to calculate the sample toxicity levels on cell culture. Our data suggest that Greek bee bread and bee collected pollen exhibit potent antiviral activity against EV-D68 with IC50 values ranging from 0.048 to 5.45 mg/ml. Greek bee bread and bee collected pollen are promising sources of antiviral compounds and should be further studied against diverse viruses in order to explore their full antiviral potential.

Published: February 2022

The chemical composition of the essential oil of Artemisia herba-alba obtained by hydrodistillation was determined by chromatographic analysis (GC and GC-MS). Seventy-nine components were identified, which accounted for 93.3% of the total essential oil. The major components were chrysanthenone (24.1 %), camphor (16,2%), α-thujone (12.8 %) and 1,8-cineole (9.3%). The investigated volatile extract showed potency antimicrobial activity, against all the studied bacterial strains (MIC values not exceeding 2 μg/mL).  Also, this oil showed substantial antifungal activity MIC less than 0.5μg/mL for Fusarium oxysporum and Penicillium expansum. Compared to BHA and BHT which were acted as positive controls, the essential oil was the less active to inhibit the free radical DPPH insofar it failed to reach a scavenging capability of 50%. The oil was also tested for its corrosion inhibitor of pure aluminum in HCl (1 mol./L) using electrochemical techniques (potentiodynamic polarization, open circuit potential, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) and gravimetric measurements. The results reveal that the inhibition effectiveness was dose-dependent of the oil concentration (maximum corrosion inhibition = 94.3% for an optimal concentration of 0.8 g / L). These findings suggest that this essential oil may be a new green inhibitor agent against corrosion in hydrogen chloride solution media and could be used on food systems as an effective inhibitor of foodborne pathogens as well as for pharmaceutical applications.
EXPRESSION PROFILE OF SARS-COV-2 ENTRY RECEPTOR ACE2 IN THE HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA AND ITS IMPACT ON COVID-19 PATIENTS
Authors: Hossain Md. Golzar , Akter Sharmin , Uddin Md Jamal
Published: February 2022

The SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to liver injury and promotes other viral infections such as hepatitis B virus (HBV) in COVID-19 patients. Obesity is involved with an increased risk of mortality in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. In the current study, we analyzed the SARS-CoV-2 entry receptor ACE2 expression patterns in various HCC patients using different public databases on cancer. We found that the ACE2 and TMPRSS2 mRNA expressions are significantly downregulated in HCC tissues compared with the healthy population. Interestingly, high ACE2 expression is positively associated with HCC patient’s obesity and age of 61 to 80 years old. A significantly lower survivability rate is revealed in extremely obese and obese HCC patients with high expression of ACE2. In addition, the expression of important innate immune-related genes such as IKBKB, MAVS, IRF3, and RELA are found to be significantly increased in HCC patients. Therefore, it might be suggested that obesity and age of the HCC patient along with the involvement of innate immune genes, might be the important triggers for COVID-19 pathogenesis.

In the study, we focused on the evaluation of the content of biogenic elements inducted by the addition of inoculant in six Slovak chickpea varieties. We analyzed Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cr, Ni, Co, K, Na, Ca, Mg and P. We evaluated two variants from each variety control variant (A) and variant with inoculant (B). Seed inoculation was provided by the inoculant Rizobin. We used for analyzed 1 g from dry seeds from each genotype. We mineralized the samples on a MARS X-press. The result was atomic absorption spectrometry using VARIAN DUO 240FS / 240Z.
The average Cu content in A control variant was 5.95 mg.kg-1 was reduced to 5.53 mg.kg-1 by the addition of inoculant. For Zn, we also recorded a reduction by the addition of inoculant from 25.43 mg.kg-1 of variant A to 24.95 mg.kg-1 of B variant. The Mn content was the same in both variants and did not change significantly. We recorded the largest differences in the Fe content. The Fe content was reduced from 50.60 mg.kg-1 variant A to 45.07 mg.kg-1 variant B by adding an inoculant. The content of Cr, Ni and Co did not change significantly with the addition of inoculant. Potassium ranged from 8904.45 mg.kg-1 variant A to 8720 mg.kg-1 B variant. Variant A had detected a higher Na content 84.22 mg.kg-1. The average content of Ca and Mg was reduced by adding the inoculant of B variant. The P content of 1400.88 mg.kg-1variant B was reduced in variant A to 1346.53 mg.kg-1.
How Did Sapiens Really Come into Being in Eurasia and Where Is It Heading Right Now?
Authors:   International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis, Sassin Wolfgang
Published: February 2022

Generations of archaeologists, ethnologists and now also genetic researchers are investigating the question: What makes Eurasia a unique evolutionary territory? We must recognise that mental evolution as a Eurasian unifying anthropological force is even more important than biological evolution. We can no longer ignore the fact that the number of people in Eurasia has increased tenfold over the past 200 years, i.e. since the French Revolution. Homo sapiens is on the way to becoming homo billionis, the creature that emotionally fits into a herd and seems to feel safer there the larger this herd is. This process proceeds on the entire planet, but in Eurasia it is the most obvious. Whether sapiens or billionis, there is no question that human must change if he wants to survive in Eurasia with resources getting scarcer and population higher, given his development in the recent past. To do so, however, at least in Eurasia human would have to control himself rationally and set hard limits to his cultural, mental and social drives and dreams, instead of relying on collective control and correction of the nature of Eurasia that he has supposedly subjugated.
Socially Connected during COVID-19: Online social connections mediate the relationship between loneliness and positive coping strategies
Authors: Moore Kate , March Evita
Published: February 2022

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, spread across the world in early 2020. Many countries imposed social isolation restrictions where people were confined to their homes unless their work was deemed an essential service or for short outings to obtain necessary food and household supplies. We hypothesised that a lack of face-to-face social interactions would predict feelings of loneliness and reductions in healthy coping behaviours such as eating well and keeping occupied, and predicted that use of media connections to liaise with others would mediate this negative relationship. Two hundred and thirteen participants responded to an online survey with useable data available from 181 persons (147 women) with an average age of 37.82 years (SD = 13.24). Data from a series of scales designed for this study revealed moderate levels of loneliness that directly predicted reduced engagement in healthy coping behaviours. This direct relationship was mediated by the use of media connections to liaise with others during the period of social isolation. Principal Component Analyses indicated media connections included two factors: Communication (e.g., phoning, texting) and social media (e.g., Facebook, Instagram). While the data were not representative of the wider population in terms of education and gender spread, the diversity of ages is a compensating factor. Suggestions for maintaining health and the importance of support during times of trauma, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, are discussed.

Drosera hybrida, the next generation
Authors: Brittnacher John
Published: February 2022

Drosera hybrida is an example of a potential instant species in that it immediately becomes a new independent evolutionary unit when a fertile population arises in the wild from its sterile, hybrid progenitors. The parents of the hybrid are the unlikely pair D. filiformis and D. intermedia. Sterile natural hybrids have been found and are known in New Jersey but no fertile plants have been found there yet. Fertile hybrids were found in California where the plants were planted out in a protected botanical area, so it is quite possible that someday fertile plants will also be found in its native range.
Revision of Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) in Chile and Argentina

The distribution range of Pinguicula chilensis is revised and it is shown that the type specimen represents P. antarctica and not the high Andean taxon erroneously treated under the name P. chilensis by most recent authors. The latter is therefore named as a new species, P. australandina, with a different type. Populations from the Cordillera de Nahuelbuta, Chile, formerly likewise included in P. chilensis, are described and illustrated as a new distinct species and key differences to the most closely related species P. antarctica and P. australandina are shown.

i) such event is interpreted as a habitual one if the temporal name is preceded by a definite determiner or an adpositional item;
ii) it is interpreted as a punctual one if the temporal name is ‘bare’.

In this research, cooling system optimization using thermal energy storage (TES) in shopping center buildings was investigated. Cooling systems in commercial buildings account for up to 50% of their total energy consumption. This incurs high electricity costs related to the tariffs determined by the Indonesian government with the price during peak hours up to twice higher than during off-peak hours. Considering the problem, shifting the use of electrical load away from peak hours is desirable. This may be achieved by using a cooling system with TES. In a TES system, a chiller produces cold water to provide the required cooling load and saves it to a storage tank. Heat loss in the storage tank has to be considered because greater heat loss requires additional chiller capacity and investment costs. Optimization of the cooling system was done by minimizing the combination of chiller capacity, cooling load and heat loss using simplex linear programming. The results showed that up to 20% electricity cost savings can be achieved for a standalone shopping center building.

Because of the global outlook of microbial pathogens contributed by river basins that are characterized by highly populated urbanized areas and other activities with poor wastewater management, it is imperative to assess the sufficiency of conventional water treatment plants with microbially highly polluted raw surface water sources in supplying pathogen-free drinking water. By using the log reduction value (LRV), the microbial safety of the drinking water supply from WTP Badaksinga, Bandung City, Indonesia, was assessed, from the raw water sources to the conventional water treatment units. E. coli, total coliform, and Clostridium perfringens (as a surrogate of the Cryptosporidium parvum protozoan) were selected as pathogens. It was found that with E. coli concentrations of > 20,000 MPN/100 ml, all the raw water sources should be categorized as not suitable for drinking water sources. The LRVs of conventional treatment units ranged from 0.67 to 1.4 for all pathogens. For the disinfection unit, the LRVs ranged from 3.0 to 3.71 for E. coli and total coliform, and 0 for Clostridium perfringens. Based on the results, the drinking water from WTP Badaksinga is safe from bacteria contamination but theoretically requires an additional barrier for protozoa safety. The assessment found that the LRVs of pre-sedimentation and combined flocculation-sedimentation units in conventional treatment systems need to be (re)assessed.

The distribution of microplastics at Mai Khao beach, Phuket, Thailand was studied. A total of 12 samples from four sample sites with 0.5 m x 0.5 m quadrats were taken at the intertidal zone during March and July, 2020, and sorted into two size classes (>300 µm and 20 to 300 µm). The mean abundance of microplastics at Mai Khao beach ranged from 44.08 to 68.7 items kg-1 d.w. for >300 µm and from 90.6 to 106.1 items kg-1 d.w. for the 20 to 300 µm range. White (44.94%) and blue (23.60%) colors, and fiber shape (94.5%) were dominant in particle counts; and based on µFTIR analysis the dominant polymer type was polyethylene terephthalate (94.7% by number count), with considerable fractions of cotton and cellophane. The microplastic characteristics suggest anthropogenic activities as possible sources. Notably, the abundance of microplastic found in the study area was definitely higher than at other sites investigated along the west coast or Phuket. Significant differences in the abundances of the two microplastic size classes were observed (p < 0.05), indicating that the microplastics in Mai Khao beach can accumulate in the marine food chain and transfer up along the trophic levels. Therefore, urgent attention should be given to the contamination problem, with a proper management system and a public awareness campaign, to reduce the effects of microplastic on organisms and ecosystems.

Minuman berenergi merupakan suplemen makanan yang terdiri dari multivitamin, makronutrien, taurin, kafein dengan tambahan herbal seperti ginseng dan jahe dengan bentuk sediaan cairan dalam kemasan botol, serbuk dan tablet yang dilarutkan menjadi minuman, yang dalam setiap kemasannya mengandung energi minimal 100 kkal. Penggunaannya adalah untuk menambah tenaga, stimulasi metabolisme, memelihara kesehatan dan stamina, yang diminum saat bekerja keras atau setelah olahraga. Konsumsi minuman berenergi meningkat sejak merk minuman berenergi terkenal mulai diperdagangkan tahun 1997. Penelitian di Amerika menunjukkan, 51% mahasiswa dari 496 mahasiswa yang diteliti mengonsumsi minuman berenergi lebih dari satu kali dalam sebulan. Dilihat dari kepopuleran minuman berenergi pada mahasiswa, diperlukan adanya ukuran untuk menilai potensi ketergantungannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mempelajari mengenai potensi ketergantungan mahasiswa terhadap minuman berenergi. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan pengumpulan data berdasarkan pengisian kuesioner yang diisi oleh responden pada Maret 2017 sampai Juli 2017. Data dianalisis dan untuk memperoleh informasi derajat ketergantungan tiap responden menggunakan kriteria Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder V (DSM V). Jumlah total responden adalah 184 responden. Hasil menunjukkan 58% responden adalah perempuan dan 42% responden adalah laki-laki. Dari 6 merk minuman berenergi, merk E adalah minuman yang paling banyak dikonsumsi. Dua puluh tujuh persen responden mengonsumsi minuman berenergi satu kali dalam sebulan. Berdasarkan kriteria DSM V, 53% responden tidak mengalami ketergantungan, 30% mengalami ketergantungan ringan, 10% mengalami ketergantungan sedang dan 7% mengalami ketergantungan berat. Walaupun lebih dari setengah jumlah responden tidak mengalami ketergantungan, namun ketergantungan minuman berenergi pada mahasiswa tetap harus diperhatikan karena terdapat 47% potensi ketergantungan minuman berenergi pada mahasiswa yang diteliti.

Teoría agustiniana sobre la tolerancia en materia de religión
Authors: Burt Donald X. , Alvarez Fr. Jesús ,   Order of Augustinian Recollects
Published: February 2022

Tolerancia, en nuestro caso, significa el derecho y obligación de la autoridad civil para determinar la filiación religiosa de sus súbditos. Filosóficamente considerada, significa la extensión de la libertad de conciencia de los individuos y los derechos del Estado para obligar a una uniformidad de fe. El hombre es un animal social, y el problema consecuente de los derechos de la persona para con la sociedad y los derechos correlativos de la sociedad con el individuo ha sido siempre una cuestión espinosa. El ámbito de los derechos del Estado sobre la conciencia de sus súbditos, y especialmente por lo que se refiere al derecho de adorar a la Divinidad, ha sido extendido y restringido según los tiempos. Frecuentemente las opiniones son deformadas por los prejuicios, fenómeno comprensible si tenemos en cuenta que nada hay más precioso al hombre como su libertad de fe. En este punto el dedo del filósofo toca el mismo corazón del indocto, pues, aunque pocos pueden comprender la teoría sobre la tolerancia religiosa, todos pueden reconocer sus implicaciones prácticas.
On the Several Senses of Forgetting in Gadamer’s Hermeneutics
Authors: James John V. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2022

Following Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer states that the primordial way we experience the past is through forgetting rather than memory. This essay seeks to explore the various senses of forgetting as it appears in Gadamer’s thought with a particular emphasis on how forgetting and memory structure the unique temporality of the work of art. This exploration reveals that the interplay between forgetting and remembering is more complicated than mere opposition; this interplay is specifically revealed in Gadamer’s analyses of the epochal transition and the transmissive event of history. In both cases, forgetting is revealed not as a lack or lacuna, but as a dynamic generating structure that elevates the work of art from its original past—constituting the immemorial dimension of the work. This essay concludes by gesturing toward the repercussions of forgetting on subjectivity and a theory of time in Gadamer’s hermeneutics.
Schelling Responds to Kant
Authors: Fisher Naomi , Mager Kevin ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2022

In the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant criticizes his predecessors, specifically Locke and Leibniz, in their one-sided reductions of representation to a single faculty. In his 1802 dialogue Bruno, Schelling develops this discussion into a criticism of Kant’s own one-sided idealism. Focusing on these developments makes clear the manner in which Schelling sees himself as advancing beyond both pre-Critical realisms and Kant’s transcendental idealism. He subsumes realism and Kantian idealism within his own absolute standpoint, providing a ground and rationale for both types of philosophical system as independent approaches, and he asserts that the ultimate foundation and unity of these systems of philosophy is in the absolute which is beyond conceptual thought.
