Triadic Metaphysics
Authors: Costa Emanuele ,   Zeta Books
Published: January 2023

The concept of expression grounds a large portion of Spinoza’s metaphysics, giving further depth to seemingly foundational concepts such as substance, causality, attribute, and essence. Spinoza adopts the term “expression” in crucial contexts such as the definition of attribute, the essential dependence of modes on substance, and the striving or effort of a finite conatus. In this essay, I seek to interpret expression as an instance of relational or structural ontology, escaping the reductionist tendencies that would see it as a mere result or combination of “more fundamental” properties such as causation, inherence, and conception. My interpretation of expression as a descriptive structural lens enriches our understanding of Spinoza’s metaphysics of substance and modes as a primarily structural ontology, which can only be read appropriately if its relata are conceived as ontologically dependent on the structure.
Libertas Philosophandi as Freedom to Be Human
Authors: di Poppa Francesca ,   Zeta Books
Published: January 2023

In this paper, I will argue that Spinoza’s notion of libertas philosophandi in Theological Political Treatise2 is best interpreted as freedom of expression, in the metaphysical sense of expression found in Ethics I. This reading helps understand the role of the Spinozan state in protecting such freedom. Ethics argues that human nature is embodied thought, and its freedom is found both in rational and irreducibly imaginary cognition: imagination is knowledge, and, as such, it is a fundamental aspect of human expression. The last two books of Ethics show that human freedom depends on certain material and intellectual conditions: this clarifies the role of the state as an active participant, rather than a mere watchman, of individual expression.
Pojetí muže a ženy (nejenom) u Platóna a Aristotela
Authors: Sousedík Prokop , Svoboda David ,   University of South Bohemia
Published: January 2023

We deal with the concept of man and woman, as well as with the problem of their equality, in the two great ancient thinkers Plato and Aristotle. The discussion of Plato leads to the conclusion that there is no substantial difference between man and woman. We find Plato’s view close or similar to today’s widely held doctrine of “unisexism”. Aristotle on the other hand believes that there are important differences between man and woman and we find in his texts two approaches to the problem. In his first view the sex difference is due to the lesser perfection of woman, according to the second view both sexes are equally perfect, nevertheless each in its own way. Both conceptions have their supporters in contemporary thought (so-called theories of „polarism“ and „compatibilism“). From a systematic point of view we suggest that Aristotle´s second approach should be further developed as it is most in accord with our Christian worldview.
Att pröva förkunnelsen
Authors: Andersson Greger
Published: January 2023

I artikeln diskuteras hur man i en pingstkarismatisk kontext kan pröva predikningar och skydda sig mot förkunnelse som avviker från etablerade läror. Artikeln tar sin utgångspunkt i två studier av förkunnelsen i pingstförsamlingen i Knutby, i empiriska studier av pingstpastorers förkunnelse och i studier av så kallad pentekostal hermeneutik. Ett första möjligt svar på den angivna frågan är att predikanter bör ägna sig åt textutläggande förkunnelse baserad på goda exegetiska studier, med genomskinlig och rationell metod. Problemet är emellertid att förkunnare i en pingstkarismatisk tradition sällan använder sig av denna metod. Detta förklaras i artikeln av att de ”gör något annat” och att deras metod är kongenial med detta ”andra” syfte, som tycks regleras av ett slags ”rule of faith”. Hur denna preciseras och upprätthålls är däremot inte helt klart. Ett annat möjligt svar är att församlingen gemensamt ska pröva förkunnelsen. Artikelförfattaren uppfattar att denna prövning i Pingströrelsen skett i predikantgemenskapen snarare än i den lokala församlingen.

Authors: Masruki Rosnia , Mohd Hanefah Mustafa
Published: January 2023

Tujuan: Kajian ini bertujuan untuk melihat sejauh mana penggunaan maklumat perakaunan akruan dalam empat aspek; iaitu pembangunan belanjawan, pengurusan liabiliti, pengurusan aset dan penzahiran akauntabiliti, di samping melihat impak penggunaan tersebut terhadap Matlamat Pembangunan Lestari (Sustainable Development Goals, “SDG”) berdasarkan Maqasid Syariah. Rekabentuk Kajian: Kajian ini melibatkan kementerian dan Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan (PBT) dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan edaran soal selidik dalam talian menggunakan Google Form. Data kemudiannya dianalisa menggunakan statistik diskriptif dan inferensi. Dapatan: Hasil kajian rintis mendapati semua pemboleh ubah yang digunakan mempunyai nilai Cronbach’s Alpha yang dapat diterima, iaitu antara 0.617-0.886. Berdasarkan nilai min, dapatan kajian menunjukkan tahap penggunaan maklumat perakaunan akruan berada pada tahap yang tinggi; iaitu dalam pengurusan liabiliti (4.18), pengurusan aset (4.13), penzahiran akauntabiliti (4.12) dan belanjawan (3.73). Malah, responden berpandangan elemen Maqasid Syariah (4.25), iaitu menjaga dan melindungi nyawa (alnasb), akal (al-aql), harta (al-mal), agama (ad-din) dan keturunan (al-nafs) dipersetujui melebihi Matlamat Pembangunan Lestari, “SDG” (4.13). Melihat kepada kumpulan responden kementerian dan PBT, mereka sependapat di mana secara statistik, tiada perbezaan yang signifikan. Implikasi Kepada Praktis: Justeru, penandaarasan kementerian terhadap PBT dipercayai relevan namun perlu mengambilkira beberapa aspek seperti tadbir urus, perundangan dan penubuhan organisasi masing-masing. Hasil kajian ini mencadangkan pelaporan yang lebih komprehensif dengan rangka kerja pelaporan yang memetakan laporan korporat kepada SDG berdasarkan Maqasid Syariah. Kajian ini berhasrat untuk memantapkan peralihan kepada perakaunan akruan dalam landskap perakaunan sektor awam di Malaysia, di samping melihat impak amalan tersebut terhadap SDG seiring dengan prinsip Maqasid Syariah.

ভূমি ব্যবস্থাপনায় শুফ্‘আ আইনের ভূমিকা: একটি তুলনামূলক বিশ্লেষণ |Role of Shuf’a Law in Land Management : A Comparative Analysis
Authors:   Asian University of Bangladesh., Haque Emdadul
Published: January 2023

The Shufʻa (preemption) or 'Side-Land Pre-Purchase Right Law' is a land by-law of Islamic Shari'ah law. The role of Shuf’a Law in land management is immense. Because Shufʻa law preserves the rights of all classes of partners and neighbors of the respective land. In the year 622 AD, the first practical application of this law took place in the state of Madinah Munawarah established by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). For around 1400 years, this law played an incredibly important role as an acclaimed land law of Muslim empires. Note that the amount of per capita land is gradually decreasing as the current global population increases. In such a situation, the land department along with the land owners are going through a transitional period in the purchase and sale of these poorly fragmented lands. In this situation, the land management law including the land pre-purchase right law need to be made more rich, practical and up-to-date. This article presents an authentic and evidence-based discussion of various aspects of Shufʻa Law. In addition, an attempt has been made to make a comparative analysis between the Shufʻa Law and the existing law of the country. The article has been prepared in a descriptive, analytical and comparative manner. Analyzing the results of Shuf'a law and relevant issues, presented in this article, it can be seen that the elements of this law can play an important role in the land management including the upgradation of Shufʻa Law.

Authors: Qaid Adeb , Remaz Ossen Dilshan
Published: January 2023

The study examines the effects of heat islands on Putrajaya City and evaluates the planned city features effect since climate policies were not deliberatively considered during the planning process. The aim of this study is to explore the effect of air temperature on the different urban forms and residential areas in the completed construction precincts of Putrajaya Boulevard. The investigation was performed using a mobile survey method with a data logger three times a day, during the morning, noon, and afternoon time, for three days during the hottest month in July 2012. It was found that there is no significant difference in variation of the air temperature between the different city features, and urban typology blocks, and the maximum air temperature was 37 °C. Hence, the temperature has remained constant since before the city was built. Therefore, the climate aspect was not considered during the planning process for reducing the temperature and improving environmental comfort. It is, therefore, necessary to establish a strategy and policy that will reduce the high air temperature before the master plan is completed.
The economy of Russian Baltic regions: development level and dynamics, structure and international trade partners
Authors: Fedorov Gennady M.
Published: January 2023

The article explores the challenges encountered during the formation of the Baltic macro-region comprising Russia and eight EU countries (Germany, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) in the context of the ongoing geopolitical and geo-economic changes. The article aims to assess the dynamics, level, structure and pace of economic development of three Russian regions located on the Baltic Sea (St. Petersburg, Leningrad and Kaliningrad regions) and analyse the intensity of their trade relations with countries of the macro-region. Russian Baltic regions have higher development rates compared to the national average. However, they experience difficulties in their economic development resulting from negative external factors. The article describes possible ways of overcoming these difficulties by improving the sectoral structure of the economy and diversifying international ties. In this context, the development of inter-regional cooperation and the formation of a spatially distributed territorial socio-economic system, including the three Russian Baltic regions, will be particularly beneficial. The period covered by the article is 1996—2021, with a special focus on 2014—2021. The study is based on the economic and statistical analysis of official data of Rosstat and the Federal Customs Service on the sectoral structure and dynamics of the gross regional product (GRP), volume and changes in foreign trade, and its commodity and geographical structure.
Preserve vs dismantle: major trends in the Baltics’ politics of memory regarding Soviet monuments at sites of mass violence
Authors: Megem Maxim E.
Published: January 2023

Another round of the Soviet ‘monument fall’ in the Baltics, which began in the early 2000s, continued into 2022. This process, however, has not affected Soviet memorials at the sites of mass violence perpetrated during the German occupation of the Baltics. This article aims to investigate major trends in the Baltics’ politics of memory regarding Soviet monuments erected at sites of mass violence. The official policy of the Baltics towards these memorial sites has been largely shaped by the international agenda and the perception of the commemorated events. During the Euroatlantic drift, the concept of the Baltic States’ past incorporated the Holocaust narrative, recoding the symbolic space of Soviet sites remembering Nazi crimes against Jews and integrating them into the national culture of remembrance. Soviet memorials at sites commemorating the tragedy of local peoples were incorporated as is into the national memorial landscape. Yet, Lithuanian authorities viewed these memorials with greater suspicion because of the Soviet countermemory, which the sites preserved. Memorials to Soviet POWs, albeit perceived as ‘alien’, are protected by law in the Baltics. Nevertheless, it did not save the places of remembrance from acts of vandalism. Moreover, there are trends in the Baltics towards a revision of the laws protecting the monuments.
The Role of the Research Advanced Practice Provider in CAR T-Cell Clinical Trials
Authors: Dsouza, PA-C, MPAS Ly
Published: January 2023

In recent years, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has emerged as an effective and potentially paradigm-shifting therapy for patients with refractory lymphoma and myeloma. This novel therapy involves engineering T cells to recognize specific antigens on the surface of cancer cells. Several CAR T-cell products are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as a result of numerous clinical trials. Due to the complexity of these studies and the high level of care required for CAR T-cell therapy patients, the role of the research advanced practice provider (APP) has become increasingly central to the success of CAR T-cell trials. This review article explores the vital role of the research APP in CAR T-cell clinical trials.

Hospital-Acquired Malnutrition in the Pediatric Population: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Falahaini Annida , Wanda Dessie
Published: January 2023

Malnutrition is a global problem, from which hospitalized patients are not exempt. Hospital-acquired malnutrition (HaM) is associated with adverse outcomes in pediatric patients. Therefore, health professionals need to understand the factors related to the issue in such patients. This study aims to identify the factors associated with the prevalence of HaM in pediatric patients. It employed a cross-sectional design involving children from one month to 18 years old who had been hospitalized for at least 72 hours. HaM was determined by a weight loss of more than 2% by the fourth day of hospitalization. The final sample was 373, from which it was indicated that the prevalence of HaM was 7%. There were statistically significant correlations between HaM and predictor factors, including age (p = 0.001), type of disease (p = 0.017), weight on admission (p = 0.001), nutritional therapy (p = 0.012), and class of ward (p = 0.001). However, the correlation between HaM and length of stay was not statistically significant. HaM occurred in younger patients in relation to infectious diseases, low admission weight, enteral nutrition therapy, longer hospital stays, and lower ward class. Nurses are expected to monitor pediatric patients’ condition, including regular anthropometric measurement, to identify the initial signs of HaM.

Metamorphosis of memory circuits in Drosophila reveals a strategy for evolving a larval brain
Authors: Truman James W , Price Jacquelyn , Miyares Rosa L , Lee Tzumin
Published: January 2023

Mushroom bodies (MB) of adult Drosophila have a core of thousands of Kenyon neurons; axons of the early-born g class form a medial lobe and those from later-born α'β' and αβ classes form both medial and vertical lobes. The larva, however, hatches with only γ neurons and forms a vertical lobe 'facsimile' using larval-specific axon branches from its γ neurons. MB input (MBINs) and output (MBONs) neurons divide the Kenyon neuron lobes into discrete computational compartments. The larva has 10 such compartments while the adult has 16. We determined the fates of 28 of the 32 MBONs and MBINs that define the 10 larval compartments. Seven compartments are subsequently incorporated into the adult MB; four of their MBINs die, while 12 MBINs/MBONs remodel to function in adult compartments. The remaining three compartments are larval specific. At metamorphosis their MBIN/MBONs trans-differentiate, leaving the MB for other adult brain circuits. The adult vertical lobes are made de novo using MBONs/MBINs recruited from pools of adult-specific neurons. The combination of cell death, compartment shifting, trans-differentiation, and recruitment of new neurons result in no larval MBIN-MBON connections being maintained through metamorphosis. At this simple level, then, we find no anatomical substrate for a memory trace persisting from larva to adult. The adult phenotype of the trans-differentiating neurons represents their evolutionarily ancestral phenotype while their larval phenotype is a derived adaptation for the larval stage. These cells arise primarily within lineages that also produce permanent MBINs and MBONs, suggesting that larval specifying factors may allow information related to birth-order or sibling identity to be interpreted in a modified manner in the larva to allow these neurons to acquire larval phenotypic modifications. The loss of such factors at metamorphosis then allows these neurons to revert to their ancestral functions in the adult.

Most of the cholesterol in the plasma membranes (PMs) of animal cells is sequestered through interactions with phospholipids and transmembrane domains of proteins. However, as cholesterol concentration rises above the PM’s sequestration capacity, a new pool of cholesterol, called accessible cholesterol, emerges. The transport of accessible cholesterol between the PM and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is critical to maintain cholesterol homeostasis. This pathway has also been implicated in the suppression of both bacterial and viral pathogens by immunomodulatory oxysterols. Here, we describe a mechanism of depletion of accessible cholesterol from PMs by the oxysterol 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC). We show that 25HC-mediated activation of acyl coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) in the ER creates an imbalance in the equilibrium distribution of accessible cholesterol between the ER and PM. This imbalance triggers the rapid internalization of accessible cholesterol from the PM, and this depletion is sustained for long periods of time through 25HC-mediated suppression of SREBPs and continued activation of ACAT. In support of a physiological role for this mechanism, 25HC failed to suppress Zika virus and human coronavirus infection in ACAT-deficient cells, and Listeria monocytogenes infection in ACAT-deficient cells and mice. We propose that selective depletion of accessible PM cholesterol triggered by ACAT activation and sustained through SREBP suppression underpins the immunological activities of 25HC and a functionally related class of oxysterols.

Skeletal muscle exhibits remarkable plasticity in response to environmental cues, with stress-dependent effects on the fast-twitch and slow-twitch fibers. Although stress-induced gene expression underlies environmental adaptation, it is unclear how transcriptional and epigenetic factors regulate fiber type-specific responses in the muscle. Here, we show that flavin-dependent lysine-specific demethylase-1 (LSD1) differentially controls responses to glucocorticoid and exercise in postnatal skeletal muscle. Using skeletal muscle-specific LSD1-knockout mice and in vitro approaches, we found that LSD1 loss exacerbated glucocorticoid-induced atrophy in the fast fiber-dominant muscles, with reduced nuclear retention of Foxk1, an anti-autophagic transcription factor. Furthermore, LSD1 depletion enhanced endurance exercise-induced hypertrophy in the slow fiber-dominant muscles, by induced expression of ERRγ, a transcription factor that promotes oxidative metabolism genes. Thus, LSD1 serves as an ‘epigenetic barrier’ that optimizes fiber type-specific responses and muscle mass under the stress conditions. Our results uncover that LSD1 modulators provide emerging therapeutic and preventive strategies against stress-induced myopathies such as sarcopenia, cachexia, and disuse atrophy.

CAGE studies sub-seabed methane hydrates and related greenhouse gas release processes in Arctic environments. Enormous amounts of methane hydrate, an ice-like substance, exist in the ocean floor at high pressure and low temperature. Ocean warming makes it potentially vulnerable to melting. We know that methane released in this way acted as a powerful greenhouse gas accelerating climate warming in the geological past. We aim to examine what it could mean to our future.

From the afternoon of July 21st to the morning of July 29th 2014, CAGE at the Department of Geology Uit, the Arctic University of Norway, arranged a scientific cruise with teaching (GEO3144/8144- Arctic Marine Geology and Geophysics Cruise) aimed at investigating and teaching students about the western Svalbard margin, methane seep sites at Vestnesa and Storfjorden Trough and the Barents Sea on R/V “Helmer Hanssen”.  Investigated areas were (in order of visiting sites on the cruise): Vestnesa Ridge, the west Svalbard slope, Storfjorden Trough, Storfjorden and western Barents Sea. The scientific sampling was done within the framework of several ongoing projects at the Department of Geology, University of Tromsø: “CAGE – Centre for Arctic Gas hydrate Environment and Climate”, in which the sub-projects “Paleo-CIRCUS”, “OA-Ocean Acidification” is included.
A total of 11 gravity cores, 7 box-cores (with a total of 18 sub-samples retrieved), 9 plankton net casts and 16 CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) casts were performed at Vestnesa Ridge, Storfjorden Fan, Storfjorden Trough, Storfjorden and the western Barents Sea, respectively. All gravity cores were logged onboard by magnetic susceptibility loop sensor for stratigraphical purposes and educational purposes.
Chirp profiles and multibeam echo sounder lines were acquired during transits and during surveys of Storfjorden and several pockmarks at the Vestnesa Ridge. A total of 129 lines were collected during transits and during surveys. A total of six seismic lines were performed with the airgun.

The cruise was conducted from October 16th to 25th 2016 as part of the Centre of Excellence for Arctic Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate (CAGE) at UiT – The Arctic University of Norway.
The main goal of the cruise was to deploy two observatories in the pingo-crater area (“Yin Yang”) in the Barents Sea, and offshore Svalbard at the same location where OS2 was deployed in June 2015 and recovered in May 2016. The exact targeted location was determined according to multibeam analysis in order to deploy in the vicinity of bubble streams.
The previously K-Landers called OS1 (black) and OS2 (grey) are now called K-Lander 1 and K-Lander 2. They contain a CH4 sensor, a CO2 sensor, a CTD, a pH meter, and a hydrophone. K-Lander 1 contains in addition a DVS (Doppler volume sampler) as the broken ADCP did not arrive on time for the deployment. K-Lander 2 contains in addition an ADCP, a transmissometer (for turbidity measurement) and an M3 (Multibeam echosounder).
The present cruise also aimed at investigating an area of extensive flares western Svalbard, particularly the shallow shelf and shelf edge. The addressed scientific topics include quantification of methane concentration in the water column, temperature and salinity (via CTD casts), echosounder and multibeam signals and current (amplitude and direction)

A game-theoretic model for the classification of selected oil companies’ price changes

Published: January 2023

One of the essential properties of a machine learning model is to be able to capture nuanced connections within data. This ability can be enhanced by considering alternative solution concepts, such as those offered by game theory. In this article, the Nash equilibrium is used as a solution concept to estimate probit parameters for the binary classification problem. A non-cooperative game is proposed in which data variables are players that attempt to maximize their marginal contribution to the log-likelihood function. A differential evolution algorithm is adapted to solve the proposed game. The new method is used to study the price changes of the Romanian oil company, OMV Petrom SA Romania, relative to the price of oil (crude and Brent) and the evolution of two other major oil companies with influence in the region. Results show that the proposed method outperforms the baseline probit and classical classification approaches in predicting price changes.
