Gastric Ultrasonography in Assessment and Quantification of Gastric Contents in Fasting Diabetic and Nondiabetic Patients
Authors: D'Cunha Delma , Balakrishna Achar Padubidri S. , Gurumurthy T. , Acharya Manasa
Published: January 2022

Context:

Gastric ultrasound is an emerging point-of-care diagnostic tool to examine stomach contents and determine pulmonary aspiration risk at the bedside. This is helpful in guiding airway and/or anesthetic management in the acute care setting, when nil per oral (NPO) status is doubtful or unknown or patient has conditions or comorbidities that affect gastric emptying.

Aims:

The objectives of the study were to evaluate and quantify the gastric contents and grade the fullness of the stomach in fasting patients.

Settings and Design:

This was an observational, analytical study conducted on patients who presented for elective surgeries who were fasted for 8 hours for solids and 6 hours for clear liquids.

Materials and Methods:

Adult patients aged between 18 and 70 years of American Society of Anesthesiology physical status 1–3 were included in the study. Gastric ultrasonography was performed and gastric volume was calculated. Data were entered in Microsoft Excel 2007 and analyzed using SPSS version 22.0.

Results:

Our study included a total of eighty subjects. The mean age in the diabetic group was 49.3 ± 16.4 years and in the nondiabetic group 49.4 ± 16.8 years. Despite fasting status, 75% of the subjects were found to have Grade 1 (up to 100 ml) gastric contents on ultrasonography. The data were found to be statistically significant with P < 0.05. There was no significant correlation of age and ultrasonography findings. However, body mass index of the patient was found to have a strong correlation with gastric content and its volume (P < 0.0001).

Conclusion:

In the current practice, NPO status, especially for emergency cases, is elicited via history which is unreliable, and in individuals at higher risk for delayed gastric emptying, this may pose a greater threat for aspiration. Using gastric ultrasonography as a screening tool prior to planning the anesthetic induction and technique can help avoid unnecessary perioperative complications.

Published: January 2022

In this study, the effect of digital banking on the performance of Commercial Banks was examined from 2010 to 2019. The study applied the Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) framework to examine the relationship between point of sales machine (POSG), Banking Transactions made through unstructured supplementary service data (USSDG), Web banking (WEBG) and Return on Assets (ROA) of commercial banks in Nigeria. The data were obtained from the statistical bulletins of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and annual reports of Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC). The result of the analysis revealed that digital banking has positive and insignificant effect on the performance of commercial banks in Nigeria. . In the light of this findings, the study recommends the need for relatively stable network: In other to reduce number of failed transactions, banks are hereby encouraged to liaise with network providers and their engineers to develop a standardized network platform exclusively for each of the digital banking channels. Also there is need for digital banking education to bank customers on the benefits of digital banking. Equally there is need for all banks to have 24 hours working cyber security department in order to ensure that the channels are not hijacked by cyber criminals.

Authors: Paul Shweta , Sharma Karunanidhi , Suresh Parimi
Published: January 2022

Mint or Pudina (Meantha spicata L) is very common home herb, used in kitchen and also as a home remedy to treat common abdominal problems. It has an important place in Ayurveda and Unani system of medicine. Its juice, paste, powder, extract, distillate are used individually or as ingredient in many formulations to treat stomachache, dyspepsia, indigestion etc. Since it’s having volatile oil as important constituent, so Arka is most efficient dosage form to use it. There are conflicts in method of preparation among Arka Prakash (AP), Ayurveda Formulary of India (AFI) and National Formulary of Unani Medicine (NFUM). To evaluate the best method among them the present study has been planned. 3 Samples of Pudina Arka were prepared by following these references using simple distillation method. Method of Arka Prakash was found impractical and difficult to extract Arka. Both the remaining references was found suitable for preparation. The method mentioned in NFUM is found most suitable.

Published: January 2022

Background: There is no specific cause of low back pain for eighty- five percent   of cases and they were classified as non-specific low back pain. In this study, the size and symmetry of the lumbar multifidus muscles in industrial workers with non-specific chronic low back pain and healthy workers were investigated. Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional comparative study, sixty industrial workers were divided into two groups of chronic low back pain and healthy, based on medical history and physical test. Roland-Morris Low Back Pain Questionnaire were filled by the group with chronic low back pain and dimensions of lumbar multifidus muscles in the L4-L5 level were measured by ultrasonography and the atrophy and asymmetry of two sides were examined. Results: Average size of right muscle in patients ranged between 2.5 and 4.3 CM? Inch? with average of 3.6 ± 0.43 and size of left muscle was in the range of 2.8 to 4.7 with the average of 3.9 ± 0.46. Size of right Muscle in healthy group was between 3.6 and 4.9 with the average of 4.3 ± 0.4 and left muscle size in healthy group was in the range of 3.9 to 5.09 and average of 4.4 ± 0.42 (p< 0.001). The proportion of symmetry, in the patient group was less (0.9) compared to those with no symptoms (0.95) (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study showed that the size of the multifidus muscle in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain at L4-L5 level was smaller compared to without back pain subjects on the basis of the average size of right and left muscle. Besides, in the patient group, muscle size in one side was smaller than the other side, in a way that there was a clearly and significantly asymmetry in muscle size between both sides.in addition, difference between size was observed between the two left and right waist size in the healthy group.
IoT Based Electricity Energy Meter
Authors: Kiran Sane Indra , Raviteja Sangem , Kumar Bairi Pavan
Published: January 2022

The demand for electricity is being increased in the World. Many of the consumers are using traditional electricity meters in their homes. These days most of the homes are connected to Internet via Wi-Fi. The use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology enables an Internet-based monitoring system to statistically collect information and display them accordingly. In this, the Information related to measurement of electrical energy parameters, such as real time measurement of voltage, current and power can be obtained. The information is then designed to an internet-based real time monitoring system for electrical energy consumption inside the house. The electricity consumption on a monthly basis can be observed by the user through a user-friendly mobile application and a webpage. These webpages can be connected to the electricity service provider in order to generate electricity bills automatically. The real time values are converted to units (kW/h) and sent to the database through Internet. Since the results can be seen through the webpage and a mobile app, the user may have some idea of reducing consumption of electricity than earlier. This device can be implemented to reduce the human dependency in collecting the monthly reading and minimize the technical problems encountered during billing process. The proposed smart energy meter controls and calculates the energy consumption using ESP 8266 12E, a Wi-Fi module and uploads it to the cloud from where the consumer or producer can view the reading. Therefore, energy analyzation by the consumer becomes much easier and controllable. This system also helps in detecting power theft. Thus, this smart meter helps in home automation using IoT and enabling wireless communication which is a great step towards Digital India.

Authors: Arroyo Yupanqui Marco Antonio , Pérez Ticse Juan Carlos , Villaverde Montoya Oscar , Morales Paredes Waldo , Valenzuela Muñoz Alberto , Balvin De la Cruz Catherine Felicia
Published: January 2022

There are several ways to explain a country's economic growth in both the long and medium term. One of the best approaches to this is Total Factor Productivity (TFP). In Peru, it has been observed that productivity has seen a sharp drop in recent years, leading to a major slowdown in economic growth and bringing it well below its potential level. Therefore, the main objective of the research focuses on the need to determine peru's TFP within the analysis period of 1980-2019. With this, it will be possible to find the determinants of economic growth for both the medium and long term. To achieve the objective, various correlation analyses will be carried out between economic growth, explained with the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and important macroeconomic variables such as investment and consumption. Investment will be found to be the variable that will be correlated with GDP. Therefore, it will be concluded that the private sector will stand out from the rest of the sectors. Then, the promotion of investment should influence the rest of the sectors of the country such as consumption and external. On the other hand, it should be noted that public spending will not influence GDP. Finally, the TFP will demonstrate that the consumption of intermediate and final goods will be of great importance for the country's growth.

Generational Cohorts and Their Collective Memories: An Empirical Study to Develop the Generational Profiling of the Pakistani Workforce
Authors: Shaikh Aliya Ahmad , Jamal Warda Najeeb , Iqbal Syed Muhammad Javed , Jamal Qurrat Ul Ain Najeeb
Published: January 2022

The current study aims to sociologically categorize the generations of the Pakistani workforce. For this purpose, similar to Schuman and Scott (1989)’s research methodology of identifying generations on the basis of their collective memories of formative events, the current study deploys a quantitative research design. Particularly, this is done by incorporating the socio-economic, political, and technologically significant events (SPTSE) into a questionnaire survey. These events have already been identified as generational pointers of the three Pakistani generations by Shaikh, Jamal, and Iqbal (2021). The Chi-Square results of the current research verify that the Pakistani Baby Boomers (Born during 1942-1961), Pakistani Generation X (Born during 1962-1981), and Pakistani Millennials / Generation Y (Born during 1982-2001) differ in recollecting certain SPTSE which they encountered during their coming-of-age years. Hence, having lived a particular set of formative eras, their generational characteristics, particularly with regard to their attitudes, values, and behaviors, are influenced, which are different and unique from that of the Western generations. This way, the generational pointers serve as a basis for the classification of the three Pakistani generations, and so prove the Asian context-specific application of the theory of generations.

Published: January 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of information technology competencies on financial performance, followed by organizational performance. The primary data collection technique was used to collect the data from 165 IT officers and top managers from Pakistan. Structural equation modelling was applied using Smart PLS 3 to examine the hypothesized model. The direct findings reveal that all three components of IT competencies are statistically significant in organizational performance. Among the three components, information technology infrastructure is the strongest predictor of organizational performance. Further, organizational performance is statistically significant in determining financial performance. There are no direct significant influences of IT competencies toward financial performance. Indirect results show that all three components of IT competencies are statistically significant. IT infrastructure is the strongest predictor of financial performance through organizational performance. Moreover, this study reveals that IT competencies are not merely sufficient to maintain financial performance. Additionally, the firm is also required to focus on complementary indicators such as innovation, quality, customer satisfaction, customer retention, and reduction of operating cost—which are generated by proper utilization of IT competencies.

Tithonian and Lower Berriasian calpionellid against ammonite biostratigraphy of the Dvuyakornaya Formation in eastern Crimea
Authors: Platonov Egor , Lakova Iskra , Petrova Silviya , Arkadiev Vladimir
Published: January 2022

The Dvuyakornaya Formation in eastern Crimea of late Kimmeridgian to Berriasian age represents a thick flysch-like succession of clays, marls and less common limestones. The ammonite zonation includes incomplete record from the Beckeri Zone in the uppermost Kimmeridgian up to the Jacobi Zone in the Lower Berriasian. Two main sections have been micropalaeontologically studied – the Dvuyakornaya Buhta and the Cape Svyatogo Ili’i. Eighteen calpionellid species of the genera Longicollaria, Chitinoidella, Daciella, Dobeniella, Popiella, Praetintinnopsella, Tintinnopsella, Crassicollaria and Calpionella have been found. The calpionellid zones Chitinoidella (with Dobeni and Boneti subzones), Crassicollaria and Calpionella (with Alpina and Elliptica subzones) are described and directly correlated to the existing ammonite biostratigraphy. The Dobeni Subzone corresponds to a part of the barren interval between the ammonite Hybonotum and Microcanthum zones, the Boneti Subzone – to the Microcanthum Zone, and the Crassicollaria Zone – to the Durangites Zone p.p. and Jacobi Subzone p.p. The boundary between the Crassicollaria and Calpionella zones is within the Jacobi Subzone. In the Berriasian, the Alpina Subzone has been correlated to the Jacobi and Grandis subzones, and the Elliptica Subzone – to upper part of the Grandis Subzone that was characterized in the Dvuyakornaya Formation by diverse ammonite faunas of the “Feodosiya Marlstones”. Chitinoidellids of the Dobeni Subzone for the first time determine late Early Tithonian age in the area. Calpionellid to ammonite correlation of the Dvuyakornaya Formation is discussed in the light of previous direct correlations between macro- and microfossil biostratigraphy of the Tithonian and the Lower Berriasian in the Tethyan Realm.

Authors: Hristov Vladimir
Published: January 2022

Summary data on the geological survey, hydrogeological and hydrochemical conditions, as well as on the use of geothermal energy and mineral waters during different periods in Bulgaria are presented. One of the aims of the paper is to present some problems concerning more rational and full application of the available geothermal resources, as well as the management of the existing geothermal resources to protect mineral water from contamination. Some examples are given from other countries (Austria, Russia) with similar hydrogeological conditions in the respective sites, which have smaller hydrothermal resources but use them more fully in the presented cases. Finally, brief information is provided on a new environmental technology for the use of geothermal energy, developed by the Canadian company “Eavor”. This technology could be applied in the near future in a number of areas in Central North and Northwestern Bulgaria where geological conditions are similar.

Published: January 2022

Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are essential aids in current agricultural practice to achieve the growing population's need worldwide. Excessive use of these agrochemicals often exerts toxic effects and imposes acute risks on human health and the surrounding environment. Importantly, they have negative impacts on the farmers during agricultural practice without proper safety measures. When a human comes in contact with these toxic chemicals due to leaching and drifting causes serious health hazards including diabetes, reproductive disorders, neurological dysfunction, cancer, and respiratory diseases. In this paper, we discussed the benefits and adverse effects of agrochemicals on humans and the ecology. Moreover, we also discussed some important remedial measures to reduce the toxic effects in farming. We have mentioned recent state-of-art nanotechnology techniques to improve agricultural research. This paper will give new insights into current farming strategies by which farmers will be able to decrease the application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
11-Analytical Study of the Saraiki Language and Literature in Pakistan since Through Ages
Authors: Kausar Hamida , Faiz Hafiz Muhammad , Rind Ayaz Ahmad
Published: January 2022

Historically, Saraiki is recognized one of the ancient regional language of central Pakistan at present. In the past it was spoken with different names in Indus civilization since two thousands BC.  It’s not spoken in south Punjab but it is one of the common domestic languages of Sindh, eastern Balochistan and southern KPK.  Saraiki travelled a journey of evolution from centuries as Riasti, Jataki, Jatki, Multani, Jagdali, Jhangi and Shahpuri etc. The scholars especially the orientalists are agreed to accept it as a different language in Punjab than Punjab. Therefore, it is not correct that it is called to be a dialect of Punjabi or any other well-known languages. The three main divisions of south Punjab Dera Ghazi Khan, Multan and Bahawalpur are its hub where the Saraiki language nourished and its evolution recorded. This paper primarily explores and highlights the evolution of Saraiki language as the major language of southern Punjab and its surrounding provinces through ages.
Information System Performance in Digitalization Era
Authors: Hsin Seow Chee , Meng Heng
Published: January 2022

During a pandemic like now, digitization and the police have become a continuous collaboration The importance of the existence of the police is increasingly needed by a society that is increasingly developing and facing increasing social problems. The traffic police unit for the city of Samarinda is a special unit that is generally involved in the field of vehicle discipline, in that it is always ready to serve the community, especially during the pandemic. For services provided to the community, of course, not all can be covered well, given the situation and conditions of the regions that are experiencing rapid development. Thus, the importance of fulfilling the internal factors of optimal human resources in the traffic unit of the Samarinda Police also needs attention. Through the use of leadership style variables, organizational learning, and job satisfaction, then it will be measured the individual performance achievement which is also the performance of the organization. Respondents taken in the sample of this study were the entire population of members of the Samarinda Traffic Police, totaling 108 members. The use of questionnaire media is a measuring tool used in further analysis in the SEM PLS model to answer the research hypothesis. Thus, it is therefore more relevant to the use of the conceptual model of investigating the relationship between constructs using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). This study also contains a discussion of the theory and results of empirical studies.
A Dynamic Analysis of Oil Prices and Inflation Model and Method
Authors: Ki Soon Lay
Published: January 2022

The study examines the impact of oil prices on inflation by applying a threshold model for five (5) ASEAN members, namely Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines. Three (3) indicators for oil price shocks are extracted in conjunction with Mork [23], Lee et al. [22] and Hamilton [13] methods. Consequently, these values are used to delineate the effect of price shock differentials. The pass-through effect is integrated into the threshold equation model. Later, the model is calculated to have an impact on inflation of high and low oil prices. The result is that the oil price shock appears to have a major impact on inflation when prices are in the high regime. This extends to all shock measures. The effective exchange rate and industrial price index (IHP) are classified as the primary determinant of inflation in all sample countries. As such, counter-cyclical monetary policy considerations should remain driven by the emerging downside risks of oil price shocks. It requires a more accommodative monetary environment to offset inflationary pressures on the domestic economy.
Green Technology Implementation Model for Sustainability
Authors: Ghani Norjihan Abdul
Published: January 2022

Studies on green technology implementation models are limited. This can be observed through an article search in almost all green technology journals related to transportation management in government agencies. Studies on green technology are widely carried out in private agencies, such as the industry and private businesses, but are less focused on in government agencies. The main objective of this study was to identify green technology implementation models, based on the previous concept papers. In this study, three models were identified and highlighted, namely the KAP Model, the Blueprint 2.0 Framework, and the Green Readiness Framework. This study was performed on the basis of developing a green technology model suitable for government agencies. Future research may focus on the development of a green technology implementation framework in the public sector in Malaysia.
Measuring Multidimency Poverty Method
Authors: Asim Muhammad , Pasha Huey Fang
Published: January 2022

The calculation of the poverty rate in Malaysia is measured based on the Poverty Line Income (PGK). Most recently, in 2019, PGK was reviewed. The reassessment of this measurement is in line with current developments as well as Malaysia's developmenttowards developed countries. But to what extent does the poverty measure using PGK reflect the real state of poverty for a household? To overcome poverty, we need to know who is poor, and in what dimension they are poor.To take these into account, we used the multidimensional poverty index measurement method or Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) as one of the alternatives to replace poverty measurement using the income method. This multidimensional poverty measurement is more of a measure to identify "who is poor". Apart from calculating the amount of deficiency experienced by a household, this study also conducts two forms of analysis, namely weightlessMPI analysis and MPI analysis with the same weighting. This study uses primary data obtained from face-to-face interviews on 378 heads of households in Sik District, Kedah, in 2013. Selected respondents are the result of random observations conducted by the National Statistics Department. The findings of the study, when the same weighting value is given for each of the eight dimensions, found that if the poverty line k ≥ 4 is set, 34.66 percent or 131 households are poor in various dimensions. Determining the k ≥ 4 separationline in this weighted analysis does not mean that households are deficient in four dimensions, but that households are deficient by four and more dimensions. The studyfound that the average poverty (A) is 31.36 percent, which means that, among the poor households (131), on average, they suffer from a deficit of 31.36 percent of the total poverty dimension (22 dimensions). MPI, the adjusted poverty rate (Mo), is 0.1086, which means that the depth of poor households from the set separation line is 10.86 percent or 11 out of 100 depths or in other words the depth of poverty of households experiencing a deficit from the overall shortfall is 10.86 percent.
Divine Madness On the Aetiology of Romantic Obsession
Authors: Sutherland Keith
Published: January 2022

The paper opens with a brief overview of 'limerence' or obsessive love disorder (OLD) from the perspectives of psychology, neurology, anthropology, and sociology, but concludes that certain unique characteristics of the condition suggest that it is better understood as a form of 'divine
madness', resulting from the failure of the Platonic ascent of love to follow its natural trajectory. The paper focuses on Plotinus's model of the erotic ascent from the one to the ONE, drawing parallels with the Indian bhakti tradition and other models derived from transpersonal psychology.
The final section explores the distinction between pagan and Christian Platonism and the entailments of the latter for secular perspectives on love.

Published: January 2022

Reform of family law is necessary, and this has become a trend in the renewal of Islamic family law in the modern world. One of the themes studied is the application of legal sanctions (criminalization). Criminalization is a product of modern law, which is very different from the fiqh law, which refers to society. In this study, polygamy is the theme that will be discussed. How is the implementation of criminal sanctions in cases of polygamy in some modern Muslim countries? The country objects that are the focus of the study are Indonesia, Malaysia, and Tunisia. The study approach uses a comparative approach, including vertical comparison (state law-classical legal doctrine), horizontal comparison (Law between countries), diagonal comparison (level of legal dynamics). Results in two conclusions that polygamy as a study of Islamic family law is a private matter and a public issue, so it requires firmness of sanctions. There are two views that polygamy law is prohibited and allowed with conditions, as for those who prohibit it, Tunisia by imposing criminal sanctions and those who allow it on condition that Indonesia and Malaysia, by imposing light sanctions.

The article presents the first results of a comprehensive study of the new archaeological site Surungur in the Fergana Valley. Interdisciplinary research was conducted in 2018—2019 by an international Russian-Kyrgyz expedition. The direct archeological work at the site was preceded by geophysical surveys, which helped to identify the most promising areas for future research. The archaeological excavations made it possible to identify a series of fire places, to obtain a representative archaeological collection of paleofaunal material, lithic industry and bone tools. The stone industry is represented by blade knapping, among bone awls, point and elongated bead. Archaeological research indicates that Ovis, unidentified ovicaprin and cervid bones predominate in the Early Holocene sediments. Pollen analysis and analysis of small mammals allowed reconstruction of the paleo-environment at different stages of Early Holocene. The data obtained indicate that the Surungur site has been continuously inhabited since the Early Holocene. New data indicate that the materials of the lower cultural horizons of the site under study fit organically into the context of the known Neolithic cultures of the mountain part of Central Asia and find more analogies with the Hissar culture.
Archaeozoological Evidence of Working Exploitation of Cattle in the Bronze Age of the Southern Trans-Urals
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Rassadnikov Alexey
Published: January 2022

The article presents the results of the analysis of several types of bone pathologies of the postcranial skeleton of cows, bulls and oxen in order to identify the possible fact of cattle exploitation for work. The material comes from several settlements of the steppe and forest-steppe zones of the Southern Trans-Urals of the Sintashta and Alakul cultures of the Bronze Age (the border between Russia and Kazakhstan). The paper is based on the results of studying the pathologies of modern non-working cattle in the Southern Trans-Urals. Analysis of the selected pathologies and their comparison with modern material showed a strong degree of overlap with each other. The overwhelming majority of pathologies in the form of minor lipping and exostoses of metapodials and phalanxes reflect age-related changes, as well as other factors that are not associated with the physical exploitation of bulls and oxen. Single pathologies from the Kamennyi Ambar settlement and the age of the animals from which they originate make it possible to reconstruct the working use of bulls even in the context of the complete absence of other evidence of animal exploitation for this purpose. However, we cannot completely exclude the possibility that these changes may be caused not only by increased stress on the joint during the working exploitation. Severe forms of pathologies on the bones of cows, most likely, reflect the features of a less developed skeletal system in comparison with bulls, rather than the fact of working exploitation.
Double Roles of Married Working Women in Indonesia: For Better or For Worse
Authors: A. Purwanto Deniey
Published: January 2022

SDGs 2030 have at least two goals that strongly converged to gender equality of pay, gender equality, and decent work and economic growth. Marital status argued to have significant contribution in gender inequality of pay and the root of female wage penalty. The argument associated with traditional family division of labour, where men responsible for family breadwinner and women for family caregiver. We examine this argument in Indonesia experiences with additional feature of multiple breadwinner models in the family. Utilizing Indonesian National Labour Force Survey of 2015 of more than 150.000 workers, our twofold regression compatible Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition analysis confirmed the existence of statistically significant gender wage gap even when controlling for the human capital investment, family division of labour, institutional instrument and discrimination. Our findings suggest that married women tend to take a double roles than married men, being family breadwinner as well as family caregiver. In that double roles model, wage rate are highest among working women and marriage wage penalty died out. Unfortunately gender wage gap and wage discrimination persisted. While the role of minimum wage as current nominal institutional labour market instrument still trivial, other factors must also be addressed toward gender equality of pay and more efficient labour market.SDGs 2030 have at least two goals that strongly converged to gender equality of pay, gender equality, and decent work and economic growth.

From Cosmogenesis to Naturphilosophie
Authors: Thomson Terrence ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2022

Whilst Kant’s work has been important for understanding the orbit of Schelling’s Naturphilosophie, this is often considered only in relation to the Critical philosophy. The aim of this paper is to suggest a connection between the pre-Critical Kant and Schelling’s Naturphilosophie. Whilst on the surface this may seem like a futile task, in this paper I hope to show that Schelling was engaged with Kant’s early work and that he even offers a critique of it, opening the path to an until now understated area of scholarship on the relationship between the two thinkers. I analyse one section (the Siebentes Hauptstück) from Kant’s 1755 work, Allgemeine Naturgeschichte und Theorie des Himmels followed by an analysis of one section (the Zweiter Hauptabschnitt) from Schelling’s 1799 work, Erster Entwurf eines Systems der Naturphilosophie.
