Reflexión filosófica ante los problemas globales y la política que viene, según el pensamiento de Giorgio Agamben.
Authors: Sanchez Gomez David
Published: January 2024

El pensamiento filosófico de Giorgio Agamben constituye una interpretación filosófica de la realidad humana, llevando a cabo un gran esfuerzo, a través de su filosofía política, para explicar nuestra época por medio del concepto de paradigma o modelo histórico, propio de los métodos de estudios utilizados en las humanidades, en un proceso de vinculación intrínseca con el concepto del mesianismo, rechazando lo precedente y cuestionando nuestra realidad y a la vez preguntando sobre lo que podríamos hacer.

En su pensamiento destaca el concepto de la biopolítica y el biopoder, que se conciben como esencias de aquellas estrategias que se gestionan en las relaciones de poder para gestionar la vida. En este contexto, la biopolítica requiere a la vez del biopoder como mecanismo de función. 

La propuesta de Agamben debe constituirse en una ética aplicada entre los álgidos encuentros de la filosofía y la economía, entre la Tecno-ciencia y la economía, en una propuesta moral. El mundo que viene, según Agamben sería ese, en el que la voluntad humana (la Potencia de No), se imponga frente la marginalidad y exclusión (estados de excepción), ante las condiciones de las “vidas nudas” (Homo Sacer), procurando que la Propiedad (bienes y servicios), tenga un uso más consciente, menos exclusivos, menos “sagrado”, o sea, se requiere la Profanación de estos, constituyéndose esta en una propuesta viable en un mundo finito, plagado de contingencias y dificultades.

Vibration Analysis and Motion Control Method for an Under-Actuated Tower Crane
Authors:   Department of Mathematics for Applied Physics of Roberto Caporali, Imola, BO, Italy., Caporali Roberto P. L.
Published: January 2024

In this paper, we developed a solution for controlling a tower crane thought as a no-rigid system, and therefore able to have deformation and, during the motion, vibrations. Particularly, large tower cranes show high structural dynamics. Under external excitations, the payload tends to sway around its vertical position and this motion is coupled to the resulting dynamic vibration of the crane structure. These induced vibrations may cause instability and serious damage to the crane system. Furthermore, the energy stored in the flexible structure of a tower crane causes vibrations in the structure during the acceleration and deceleration of slewing movements. A crane operator perceives these vibrations as an unstable speed of the boom. Such behavior involves the control of the crane, particularly precise positioning and manual control of the crane movement at low pivoting speed. We define an Elastic model of the Slewing crane and analyze the bending and Torsional elasticity of the Tower, and the Jib Elasticity. With an approximated method, we calculate the natural wavelengths of the crane structure in the slewing direction. We consider the tower crane as a nonlinear under-actuated system. The motion equations are obtained considering both the normal vibration modes of the tower crane and the sway of the payload. An elastic model of the Slewing crane is achieved, modeling the crane jib as an Euler-Bernoulli beam. Even the payload dynamic is considered, developing an Anti-sway solution by the equation of the movement. We define an iterative calculation of the sway angles and obtain the corresponding velocity profiles, implementing two kinds of solution: an input-shaping control in open-loop, to be used with automatic positioning, and a “command smoothing” method in open-loop, used for reducing the sway of the payload with the operator control. These solutions lead to a reduction of the vibrations of the crane structure. As a consequence, the tower crane is not subject to the strong horizontal and vertical oscillations during the motion of the elastic structure.
PARA LER PARMÊNIDES: UMA BREVE INTRODUÇÃO À QUESTÕES ESTRUTURAIS DO TEXTO
Authors: Barros Raul Mendes de
Published: January 2024

Como é possível extrair filosofia de um texto de quatro ou cinco páginas, arbitrariamente montado ao longo de mil anos de citações na Antiguidade, cujo tamanho original se desconhece, e suas partes, precariamente conectadas, juntam-se a partir de critérios e suposições tardias? Normalmente, nem se quer refletimos sobre questões desse tipo quando tratamos de estudar o pensamento de um autor, pois é comum que o estudo de um filósofo não passe pela história da obra em questão, quando e de que forma ocorreu a transmissão do texto ao longo da história. No presente artigo, teceremos algumas considerações importantes que leitor não familiarizado com o Poema de Parmênides tem de ter para que evite cair em armadilhas e reproduza dogmaticamente interpretações convencionalmente estabelecidas.

MORTE, IDEIA E INDESTRUTIBILIDADE DO NOSSO SER EM SCHOPENHAUER
Authors: Weber Camila Gomes , Weber José Fernandes
Published: January 2024

O objetivo do artigo é explorar as conexões entre o problema da morte, o conceito de ideia e a tese da indestrutibilidade do nosso ser com a morte, em Schopenhauer. Como ponto de partida, é apresentada a crítica de Schopenhauer à compreensão empírica da morte como passagem ao não-ser. Passa-se, então às considerações do filósofo sobre a indestrutibilidade do nosso ser com a morte, por meio do destaque às suas considerações sobre o caráter de coisa, vinculado à sua intepretação das ideias como formas eternas. Após discorrer pontualmente a respeito do sentido desta noção na filosofia platônica, são apresentados os principais elementos que configuram a apropriação schopenhaueriana da teoria platônica das ideias tendo em vista exclusivamente o problema elegido, qual seja, a morte e a indestrutibilidade do nosso ser.
Sentire – l’io. Annotazioni su dimensione estetica e corporeità in Kaulbach e Kant
Authors: BRANCA Antonio
Published: January 2024

Moving from Kaulbach interpretation of the third Critique, the paper proposes some considerations on the relationship between the aesthetical dimension and subjectivity in Kant. My aim, in so doing, is twofold. On the one hand, indeed, I want to reevaluate Kaulbach confrontation with Kant within the Kantian Studies. On the other, I aim to prove that every cognitive interpretation of the critique (such as Kaulbach’s) fails to understand Kant’s concept of transcendental subject. To do this, the paper articulates in three steps. A first, on Kaulbach’s book Ästhetische Welterkenntnis bei Kant. A second, looking for a definition of subjectivity by Kaulbach in an article of 1963. A third, finally, on the evolution of Kant’s thought between the Dissertatio of 1770 and the second edition of the first Critique.
Progresso e perfeição na filosofia de Kant
Authors: Ferreira Gabriel Martins
Published: January 2024

O presente artigo pretende caracterizar a compreensão kantiana das noções de progresso e perfeição a partir de seu posicionamento no interior do debate realizado pelo esclarecimento alemão do século XVIII. Para levar a cabo tal tarefa, o presente artigo pretende executar duas tarefas: em primeiro lugar apresentar contextualização da filosofia kantiana da história dentro do assim chamado esclarecimento alemão a partir do debate envolvendo a noção Bestimmung des Menschen (destinação do ser humano) com vistas a demonstrar o modo como Kant desloca as noções de perfeição e destinação de um contexto teológico para um contexto antropológico e histórico.  A segunda tarefa consiste em apresentar o modo como a ideia de perfectibilidade infinita advinda do debate acerca da Bestimmung des Menschen desempenha um papel central na Crítica da razão prática em 1788. Para a concreção desta segunda tarefa, o presente artigo discutirá a doutrina kantiana dos postulados da razão prática – a imortalidade da alma e a existência de Deus – como condições para que a moralidade possa ser possível no mundo.

Published: January 2024

A hiperplasia adrenal congênita refere-se a um grupo de 7 doenças autossômicas responsáveis por distúrbios com origem na esteroidogênese adrenal. A fisiopatologia esta associada ao sistema de feedback hipotálamo-hipófise-adrenal que é mediado através do nível circulante de cortisol plasmático por feedback negativo de cortisol na secreção de fator liberador de corticotropina e hormônio adrenocorticotrófico, resultando em insuficiência de glicocorticoides e excesso de andrógenos adrenais. Metodologia: Trata-se de um relato de caso de um paciente atendido no Hospital Universitário Maria Aparecida Pedrossian. Caso: Paciente, fenótipo masculino, comparece para investigação de hipodesenvolvimento da genitália externa. Após avaliação clínica e realização de exames laboratoriais, foi diagnosticado com genótipo feminino (cariótipo 46XX), com hiperplasia adrenal congênita clássica na forma não perdedora de sal. Após descontinuidade no seguimento, retorna aos 13 anos, apresentando ao exame físico virilização estágio V pela escala de virilização de Prader. Realizadas ultrassonografias pélvica, uretrocistrocistografia e tomografia computadorizada (TC) de abdome e pelve com injeção retrógrada de contraste. Discussão: A causa mais comum de paciente com genótipo 46XX que apresenta transtorno do desenvolvimento sexual é a hiperplasia adrenal congênita 21-OH, sendo responsável pelo excesso de andrógenos, resultando em virilização e genitália ambígua. A genitália interna geralmente é normal. A presença de tecido prostático em pacientes 46XX foi descrita em um número limitado de casos. Conclusão: A hiperplasia adrenal congênita na forma clássica não perdedora de sal é uma patologia rara, normalmente apresenta-se com alterações nas glândulas suprarrenais ao exame de imagem. Apesar de o método de escolha (RM) não estar disponível, a análise meticulosa de exames radiológicos com contrastação retrógrada permitiu a compreensão e descrição das alterações urogenitais do paciente relatado.
Theoretical principles of enterprise`s restructuring in the conditions of digitalization of the economy
Authors: Cherednyk Anna
Published: January 2024

The article justified the relevance of investigating the phenomenon of "restructuring" in the context of the profound impact of the digitization of economic processes on the activities of domestic enterprises. Instances of inefficient operation of individual units within these enterprises became more frequent, reducing profit or its absence. An analysis of recent sources and publications indicated that modern business conditions, particularly economic digitization, must be fully considered. The article explores existing definitions of the concept of enterprise restructuring. It proposes understanding restructuring as a "comprehensive strategic transformation of internal relationships within the enterprise, characterized by an innovative nature and aimed at improving its efficiency through a maximum alignment of its structure with the content in the existing conditions of the external environment." Critical aspects of mergers and consolidation of enterprises are discussed, drawing on contemporary trends of decline and economic digitization. The author formulates a list of types of restructuring, features, and measures that are advisable to implement within each type of restructuring. Each type of restructuring contributes to the reconstruction and recovery of the enterprise, and the range of measures is determined based on the features identified during the analysis of the enterprise's activities. Various measures were outlined within different types of restructuring. They include issuing additional securities, reassessing asset values, reducing accounts receivable, restructuring debt, developing a new organizational structure, revising technological and product policies, making changes in management, downsizing resources, adjusting market and product portfolios, reducing the size of the enterprise, optimizing capital and operational costs, deferring debt repayment, and negotiating lower interest rates on outstanding debt, etc.

Objective. To compare quality of life, in patients living with HIV infection with pharmaceutical care according to the CMO methodology: capacity, motivation and opportunity versus conventional follow-up. Method. Longitudinal, prospective, multicenter, health intervention study, conducted between October 2019 and November 2021 in 14 centers throughout Spain. Patients over 18 years of age, receiving antiretroviral treatment and attending the consultations of the participating Pharmacy Services for 1 year were included. Patients who did not have the autonomy to complete the planned questionnaires were excluded. At baseline, participating centers were randomized to continue using the same systematics of work (traditional follow-up) or to implement the CMO model using patient stratification models, goal setting in relation to pharmacotherapy, use of motivational interviewing, as well as longitudinal follow-up enabled by new technologies. The main variable was the difference in the number of dimensions positively affected in each follow-up arm at 24 weeks of follow-up according to the MOS-HIV questionnaire. In the CMO group, the interventions performed the most frequently were recorded. Results. 151 patients were included. The median age was 51.35 years. A significant improvement in quality of life was found at the end of follow-up in the CMO group, reducing the number of patients with negatively affected dimensions (2/11 vs 8/11). The most frequent interventions carried out in the CMO group, according to the taxonomy, were Motivation (51,7%) and review and validation (49,4%). Conclusions. The quality of life of patients is higher in those centers that develop Pharmaceutical Care based on the CMO methodology compared to traditional follow-up.

Authors: Li Chao , Cao Lihua
Published: January 2024

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of Ginkgo biloba extract in ameliorating dizziness symptoms and enhancing nutritional status in patients diagnosed with cerebral arteriosclerosis. A total of 170 patients suffering from cerebral arteriosclerosis were selected and divided randomly into two groups: a control group receiving conventional treatment and an experimental group receiving standard treatment plus Ginkgo biloba extract. A comparative analysis revealed that the experimental group demonstrated significant improvement in neurological function and mobility post-treatment, exhibited reduced dizziness symptoms and improved hemodynamics in the vertebral and basilar arteries compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The experimental group exhibited a significantly better nutritional status post-treatment compared with the control group (P < 0.05). To further elucidate the underlying mechanisms of Ginkgo biloba extract’s effects on cerebral arteriosclerosis, a cerebral arteriosclerosis rat model was developed. The results indicated that Ginkgo biloba extract intervention mitigated inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain tissues of rats with cerebral arteriosclerosis, leading to reduced pathological damage. These findings suggest that Ginkgo biloba extract has the potential to relieve cerebral arteriosclerosis-related dizziness and improve nutritional status in patients, offering a promising novel therapeutic modality for the clinical management of cerebral arteriosclerosis.

Learning Styles: An Overview
Authors: Amita Sood  , Jyoti Sarin
Published: January 2024

Learning styles aim to know variations in individuals’ learning. As per most of the theories, humans may be classified in line with their‘style’of learning. The term “learning styles” speaks to the understanding that each student learns uniquely. Learning is a vital experience for individuals of all ages. Based on Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences, there are eight varieties of learning styles that everybody falls into which include visual, aural, verbal, physical, logical, social, solitary and naturalistic learning. Learning style inventories are designed to assist respondents verify learning style they have. These inventories usually take the form of a questionnaire that focuses on how folks prefer to learn. Learning style inventories are based on the thought that individuals have completely different strengths and preferences when it involves learning. Learning style inventories remain a preferred classroom tool despite the actual fact that research has found very little proof that matching a student’s learning preferences to instructional methods produces better educational outcomes. These are a few popular types of learning style inventories such as Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory (LSI), Fleming’s VARK Learning Style Questionnaire, Jackson’s Learning Styles Profiler (LSP), Learning Style Quizzes.In short, it is important to remember that there are a number of learning styles and learning style inventories. Each learning style has its own advantages and disadvantages. Knowing your learning style is not meant to limit you, instead to expand you – by helping you to learn, understand, work and live more efficiently.

Published: January 2024

Background - Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation are two most essential part of anaesthetic management. They help in control of airway during general anaesthesia and produce transient marked sympathetic response which manifest as an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, intraocular and intracranial pressure. Esmolol is a selective beta adrenergic receptor antagonist and diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker. The drugs were compared towards reducing the haemodynamic stress response.Methods –This study included 50 patients of both gender, with ASA grade I to IV, aged between 18 to 60 years, scheduled for surgery under general anaesthesia. Among these 25 patients were given inj. esmolol with dose of 1mg/kg i.v.bolus and 25 patients were given inj. diltiazem with dose of 0.2mg/kg i.v.bolus . The haemodynamic parameters were recorded at baseline , just after premedication , after injecting the drug under study, after intubation at 1 , 3 , 5 and 10 minutes. Conclusion –Patients who received inj. esmolol in dose 1mg/kg i.v. showed marked attenuation in both heart rate as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressure whereas inj. diltiazem with dose of 0.2mg/kg only showed attenuation in systolic and diastolic blood pressure but failed to achieve any control over heart rate.

Introduction: Sleep is necessary for human being regardless of age. Specifically elderly people havecomplaints in sleep disturbances which if treated can improve quality to sleep.Aim: To identity the sleep quality among elderly people and to evaluate effectiveness of lukewarm waterfootbath therapy.Materials and Methods: An interventional study was conducted among 40 old age people staying in selectedold age home, Nadiad. The purpose of the study was to improve the quality of sleep amongst elderly. Thesamples were selected by non-probability convenient sampling technique. The tool used for data collectionwas Pittsburgh sleep quality index which is a self rated questionnaire. Lukewarm water foot bath therapywas used as an intervention after taking consent from the samples. Pre-test was conducted from samples byusing Pittsburgh sleep quality index followed by which researcher has given intervention (lukewarm waterfoot bath therapy) for 10 days consecutively before sleep at same time for 20 minutes. Later on, post-testwas conducted after 1 week by using Pittsburgh sleep quality index. Descriptive and inferential statisticswas used to analyze the data obtain was tabulated analyzed and interpreted in terms of objective of the study.Results: The demographic data related to age 12(27.9%) belonged to 71-75 years, gender 23(53.5%) werefemales and 17 (39.5%) were males, education the majority of the people 23 (53.5%) was from secondaryeducation, the source of income 16(37.2%) were having pension, social status 25(58.1%) was from middleclass, medications 23(53.5%) were taking and 17(39.5%) were not taking, factors affecting sleep 20(46.5%)were having anxiety, activity 15(34.9%) was doing recreational activity, night hours of sleep 16(37.2%)was having 6-7 hours, hours of sleep in day time 16(37.2%) was having 2-2.5 hours, habit 24(55.8%) washaving alcohol habit. Researcher applied Mann-Whitney test for comparison between pre-test and post-test.Calculated Mann-Whitney pre-test values were 2.5 and post-test values were 4.29 which prove there is asignificant effectiveness of lukewarm water footbath therapy on quality of sleep.Conclusion: It conclude that assessment of sleep quality after Lukewarm water footbath therapy shows thatthe lukewarm water footbath therapy is helpful for improving the sleep quality among the elderly.

Published: January 2024

Background: The study aimed to compare and determine the success rate, ease of introducing I-gel and the hemodynamic effects of two adjuvant drugs ketamine and fentanyl, when used with induction agent propofol in minor surgical procedures.Methodology: The study comprised of 68 patients of ASA-I & II grading of either gender, aged between 18 to 60 years undergoing minor surgical procedures. Patients were distributed into two groups.Group K- inj. ketamine 0.5mg/kg & inj. propofol 2mg/kgGroup F- inj. fentanyl 1mcg/kg & inj. propofol 2mg/kgResults: Both groups K and F were comparable in terms of baseline clinic-sociodemographic variables such as age, gender, weight, ASA grade and Mallampatti grade. Attempt of insertion was more than one in 26.5% cases of group K and 8.8% cases of group F, showing statistically insignificant difference(p>0.05). Jaw relaxation was significantly good in group F than group K (p<0.01). Incidence as well as severity of coughing and limb movement was much higher in group K than group F (p<0.01). Overall excellent significantly higher condition was observed. Excellent conditions seen in 85.3% and 50% cases belonging to group F and group K respectively (p<0.01). Mean total requirement of propofol was 124±24.56 and 110.06±18.95 in cases belonging to groups K and group F respectively. Thus showing significant difference. Hemodynamic parameters such as heart rate(HR) and blood pressure(BP) were significantly higher in group K than in group F following induction(p<0.01).Conclusion: Fentanyl when used as co-induction drug with propofol provides ideal condition for I-gel insertion, decreases total requirement of propofol & stable hemodynamic response as compared to ketamine & propofol

Background: The arterial system of human body is often subjected to a good number of variations. Therefore, trying to find out variations in relationship of cystic artery with CBD, CHD and Calot’s triangle will surely be a useful endeavor for an Anatomist and Autopsy Surgeon, moreover such an effort will help the surgeons in planning and operating upon the hepatobiliary system. Method: The present work was carried out in the Department of FMT, NRSMCH, Kolkata in collaboration with the Department of Anatomy, Medical College, Kolkata over a period of one year to find out relationship of Cystic artery with CBD and CHD and also to check whether Cystic artery was present within Calot’s triangle. Fifty cadavers of both sexes were subjected to detail dissection method based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Adult human cadavers above 18 yrs of age were included in this study whereas paediatric cadavers below 18 yrs of age, cadavers above 18 years where dissection cannot be done because of pathology in and around porta hepatis, decomposed dead bodies and dead bodies came for autopsy with gross abdominal injury involving hepato-billiary system were excluded from the study. The study was prospective, cross sectional, observational, autopsy based study. The cystic artery was lying posterior to CHD or CBD in 90% cases where as it was placed anteriorly in 10% of specimens. The cystic artery was lying anterior to CHD in 6% cases whereas and anterior to the CBD in 4% cases. In these 4 % cases CA was also inferior in position with respect to the cystic duct. In 96% of specimens the cystic artery was lying inside the Calot’s triangle whereas the 4% cases showed presence of cystic arteries outside the Calot’s triangle. Conclusion: Because variations are very common in hepatic and Cystic arteries, sound knowledge will allow the surgeons to practice safe laparoscopic or open Cholecystectomy, liver resections and vascular recombination in transplantation and there by avoid errors and patient morbidity. A good knowledge of Calot’s triangle is important for conventional and laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

Background: Poisoning constitutes a major number of hospital admissions among different types ofhospital admission cases in India. Several factors like development of science along with invention of stronginsecticides and change in life style of human beings added with mental & social stress and easy availabilityof poisons are few factors responsible for increasing number of poisoning cases. The cause and the nature ofpoisoning cases which are admitting in different hospitals many times remain unknown to us. This problemcan be solved by examining different autopsy findings of different poisoning cases & chemical analysis ofdifferent organs as early as possible. The main objective of the study is to study both the external and internalautopsy findings in case of death due to poisoning. Methods: 74 poisoning cases were studied over a periodof one year who were first admitted in NRSMCH and subsequently died at the said Hospital. Brought deathand nursing home/other Hospital admission cases/ cases referred from other Hospital are excluded from thisstudy. The study is a prospective, cross sectional and descriptive study. Conclusion: Corrosive poisoningis the commonest type of poison followed by ophitoxaemia. Face was congested in most cases of death. Nosignificant findings found in most of the victim’s oesophagus. Majority of internal organs were congested.
