Global population growth and improved transportation The Jakarta metropolitan area contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has implemented policies to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, but the growth of electric vehicles in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area still faces challenges. The study aims to investigate the psychological and social factors influencing people's intention to switch to electric vehicles and their contribution to the region's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The quantitative approach was taken using an online survey method on 200 Jakarta metropolitan communities with a purposive sampling withdrawal technique. This study chose the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis technique. The analysis showed that electric vehicle knowledge and environmental concern significantly positively affected subjective norms, attitudes and perceived behavioural control. These three psychological drivers found their role in the intention to switch to electric vehicles and SDGs Contribution. Recommendations focused on strengthening fiscal transportation policies, supporting infrastructure and sustainable transportation planning at metropolitan Jakarta and national scales.

Published: August 2024

O presente trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar o impacto da heurística da ancoragem na disposição a pagar por morangos orgânicos. Buscou-se investigar como tal heurística altera a percepção dos agentes sobre preço do produto e acaba por orientar sua decisão de compra. Para atingir tal objetivo, foi conduzida uma pesquisa online com 373 consumidores, avaliando suas características socioeconômicas e a sua disposição a pagar pela fruta. Os resultados mostraram que os preços foram influenciados, de forma estatisticamente significativa, pela Âncora Alta. A disposição a pagar deste grupo apresentou uma diferença superior a 50% em relação ao preço médio sinalizado no grupo de Âncora Baixa e no grupo Neutro (sem referência de preço). Além disso, as análises de regressão, que buscaram avaliar os determinantes da disposição a pagar dos indivíduos, confirmaram tal influência.
O político nas fórmulas da sexuação uma articulação entre Lacan e Laclau
Authors: Silva Ana Carolina , Moreira Jacqueline de Oliveira
Published: August 2024

O presente trabalho busca apresentar uma via possível de articulação entre psicanálise e política, a partir do estabelecimento de uma chave de leitura analítico-crítica que possibilite a construção das relações entre esses campos. Nesse percurso, com Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan e Ernesto Laclau, localizamos o caráter político da proposição lacaniana “não há relação sexual”, a partir da escrita desse impasse pelas fórmulas da sexuação, em analogia à operação hegemônica de constituição do social, que parte da lógica da impossibilidade do objeto “Sociedade”. Tratamos, assim, de investigar a operação de modalização dos impossíveis quanto ao político e ao sexual considerando-se o ab-senso irredutível na constituição do tecido social e na constituição subjetiva da sexualidade, remetendo a ordem do real a uma sedimentação sempre falhamente constituída. Tal desenvolvimento orienta teoria e clínica que encontram uma matriz do político, afinal, se Freud faz um furo no discurso político-social de sua época – e das seguintes – ao propor uma teoria da sexualidade, consideramos que o alcance de seu empreendimento – ainda que não premeditado – tem ressonâncias para a própria psicanálise.
A AMBIGUIDADE E A GENEROSIDADE
Authors: Sitoni Thiago , Gregorini Debora Fátima
Published: August 2024

Como a literatura pode vincular-se à fenomenologia existencial? O afinco em palavrear o singular e o universal, o dito e o não-dito, em apelo à liberdade de outrem configura um projeto em comum entre Sartre e Beauvoir. O primeiro, desde Que é a Literatura? observa a generosidade constituinte na relação dialética entre o leitor-proseador a partir da literatura engajada que se ergue em uma simbiose, em um ato de desvendar a si próprio no instante do desvendamento de mundo; por outro lado, a filósofa existencialista lança termo do romance metafísico desde Literatura e Metafísica como aquele que encarna a ambiguidade da realidade humana, ou seja, em uma implicação ética. Sua discussão é orientada pelas bases de Por uma moral da ambiguidade. Para tanto, o objetivo desse texto é apresentar as noções de generosidade e engajamento em Sartre; descrever a literatura pelas óticas de Beauvoir a partir da ambiguidade, do romance metafísico, da alteridade; e por fim, demonstrar os pontos de diálogo e de convergência entre essas duas chaves de leitura de verve existencialista.

Authors: Victor Sérgio Antônio Ferreira , Santana Fábio Liberal Ferreira de
Published: August 2024

Este estudo pretende analisar a dinâmica do processo de elaboração das Emendas à Constituição, entendida como a capacidade de surgimento de soluções não previstas nas regras constitucionais e regimentais, em seu estrito cumprimento. A análise da aplicação repetida dessas soluções possibilita detectar tendências e considerá-las verdadeiras normas não escritas no processo. Neste estudo, analisou-se o entendimento, que se consolidou pela prática parlamentar e pela jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal, de que um trecho de uma proposta de emenda à Constituição aprovado por uma das Casas do Congresso Nacional e suprimido, por meio de destaque, pela outra, não impede a promulgação do texto remanescente, se este é aprovado pelas duas Casas e tem sentido independente do trecho suprimido. O estudo da dinâmica do processo apresenta a evolução desse entendimento, desde o momento em que o texto destacado era rejeitado e arquivado, até os entendimentos recentes, em que se permitiu mantê-lo tramitando.

Addressing True Health Disparities: The Imperative of Telehealth and Telemental Health Services for Rural Americans
Authors: Lang-Lindsey Katina
Published: August 2024

This chapter explores the pressing issue of health disparities affecting rural Americans. It sheds light on the mortality rates associated with chronic conditions and behavioral health problems in these rural regions in the United States. The central focus revolves around identifying the underlying causes of these health disparities, encompassing limited knowledge about managing chronic diseases and behavioral health problems. These intertwined factors contribute significantly to the substantial health inequities experienced by rural residents. Furthermore, the chapter emphasizes the importance of introducing telehealth, telemental health services, and virtual visits as key options for closing the healthcare gap in rural areas. By embracing healthcare technology such as telemedicine, which includes virtual visits and telemental health treatments, rural areas can overcome distance barriers and ensure access to critical healthcare services and support. These tried-and-true strategies have the potential to close health disparities while also improving the overall health and quality of life for rural Americans living with chronic conditions. Additionally, the chapter explores the critical role of partnerships and paid apprenticeships in strengthening healthcare delivery and education in these underserved areas. This approach is instrumental in driving the broader objective of achieving health equity in rural regions across the United States.
Effect of Compaction Energy on the Behavior of Coefficient of Consolidation for the Compacted Fine-Grained Soils
Authors: Subbarao Prasanna Heggadadevanakote , Anil Unnam
Published: August 2024

Construction exploits marginal areas and landfills due to a lack of suitable worksites. Several researchers are interested in the engineering behavior of compacted fine-grained soils. Clay mineral composition suggests compacted fine-grained soils behave physicochemically. Six natural soils and one artificial soil with varying clay mineralogical compositions (kaolinite, montmorillonite, and K-M) and liquid limits (46, 55, and 68%) were selected and they were categorized into three different groups [G-1 (46%) {K & M-soils}, G-2 (55%) {K & M-soils}, and G-3 (68%) {K, M, & K-M soils}. Consolidation tests were conducted in one dimension under various placement conditions (95% of optimal on dry and wet sides and at optimum), energy levels (Light (LC) and Heavy Compaction (HC)), and seated pressures (σ) from 6.25 to 1600 kPa (@ load increment ratio of 1). The effect of energy level concept was studied by defining the energy ratio of Cv (CvER) = {Cv @ HC/Cv @ LC}) and average ratio (CvAR = Average of CvER) using Proctor compaction energy ratio or standard energy ratio (SER). The values of Cv for heavy compaction can be estimated directly from light compaction energy level values using correlations (R2 = 0.86 to 0.99).

Neurological Impact of Type I Interferon Dysregulation
Authors: Mylonas Alessio
Published: August 2024

Type I interferons are a class of potent and tightly regulated cytokines important for antiviral and anti-tumoural innate and adaptive immunity. Dysregulated production can have serious neurologic consequences as exemplified in a family of rare diseases called type I interferonopathies. Interferonopathies represent a group of genetically determined conditions characterised by upregulated type I interferon production causing a spectrum of neuroinflammatory and systemic manifestations. This chapter delves into the historical discovery of type I interferons, their role in innate immunity, and the subsequent identification of interferonopathies placing emphasis on the mechanisms of neurologic dysfunction that often dominate the clinical picture. The insights gained from studying these rare diseases offer valuable lessons for neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric conditions which demonstrate considerable overlap with interferonopathies, underscoring the broader significance of type I interferons in more common neurologic diseases. Relevant therapeutic strategies targeting this pathway are discussed, emphasising the need for brain-penetrant approaches.

Challenges in Electrical Insulation Materials and Thermal Management for Medium Voltage Power Cables for Envisaged Wide-Body All-Electric Aircraft
Authors: Saha Anoy , Ghassemi Mona
Published: August 2024

All-electric aircraft (AEA) emergence is considered a promising initiative toward achieving net-zero aviation. Future wide-body AEA will require electric power systems (EPS) with high power density and minimal system mass. Power cables, a crucial element of the aircraft EPS, need to be designed to enhance the EPS's overall power density. At the cruising altitudes of wide-body AEA, the limited heat transfer by convection poses significant thermal challenges for the design of power cables. The challenges are further intensified when employing bipolar medium voltage direct current (MVDC) EPSs, typically consisting of two power cables, negative and positive poles, positioned adjacent. The cable's surface area influences both radiative and convective heat transfers. This book chapter deals with the design, fabrication, and testing of aircraft MVDC power cables. Multilayer multifunctional electrical insulation (MMEI) systems were recently introduced instead of single-layer insulation in the aforementioned cables, which are discussed. In addition to delineating coupled electrical, thermal, and computational fluid dynamic models to obtain thermal distribution and electric stress within the cable and using the model for optimal design of cable and duct geometries, all modeling details in COMSOL Multiphysics are also explained, resulting in this chapter book as a textbook and valuable reference.
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Intercultural Communication
Authors: Yang Shuang , Zhao Huiwen , Luo Wen
Published: August 2024

The arrival of the artificial intelligence era has changed the style of unimodal cultural communication and integrated multimodal communication technology, which helps understand social development and people’s lives from a new, all-round perspective. Cross-cultural communication can make full use of artificial intelligence and digital virtual simulation technology to achieve in-depth experience and in-depth perception of culture, and ultimately realize people’s in-depth recognition of each other’s national culture. The multimodal way of transforming language into a way of expression that the other party can understand and accept, thus generating identity, can greatly enhance the power of cross-cultural communication so that the content of the communication will first act on the emotional field of each other, and then transition from emotional identity to rational identity.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Patients with long bone fractures often present to the emergency department (ED) with severe pain and are typically treated with opioid and non-opioid analgesics. Historical data reveals racial disparities in analgesic administration, with White patients more likely to receive analgesics. With the diversifying US population, health equity is increasingly crucial. In this study we aimed to evaluate the early administration of opioid and non-opioid analgesia among Black and White patients with long bone and femur fractures in EDs over different time frames using a substantial database. Methods: We retrospectively extracted Information from 57 US healthcare organizations within the TriNetX database, encompassing 95 million patients. The ED records from 2003–2023 were subjected to propensity score matching for age and gender. We focused on four cohorts: two comprising Black and White patients diagnosed with long bone fractures, and another two with Black and White patients diagnosed solely with femur fractures. We examined analgesic administration rates over 20 years (2003–2023) at ﬁve-year intervals (2003–2008; 2008–2013; 2013–2018; 2018–2023), and further analyzed the rates for the most recent two-year period (2021–2023). Results: Disparities in analgesic administration signiﬁcantly diminished over the study period. For patients with long bone fractures (1,095,052), the opioid administration gap narrowed from 6.3% to 1.1%, while non-opioid administration disparities reduced from 4.4% to 0.3%. Similar trends were noted for femur fractures (265,181). By 2021–2023, no signiﬁcant differences in analgesic administration were observed between racial groups. Conclusion: Over the past 20 years, the gap in early administration of opioid and non-opioid analgesics for Black and White patients presenting with long bone fractures or femur fractures has been disappearing.
BSHOA: Energy Efficient Task Scheduling in Cloud-fog Environment
Authors: Medishetti Santhosh Kumar ,   School of Computer Science and Engineering, VIT-AP University, Amaravathi, 522237, India, Karri Ganesh Reddy
Published: August 2024

Cloud-fog computing frameworks are innovative frameworks that have been designed to improve the present Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructures. The major limitation for IoT applications is the availability of ongoing energy sources for fog computing servers because transmitting the enormous amount of data generated by IoT devices will increase network bandwidth overhead and slow down the responsive time. Therefore, in this paper, the Butterfly Spotted Hyena Optimization algorithm (BSHOA) is proposed to find an alternative energy-aware task scheduling technique for IoT requests in a cloud-fog environment. In this hybrid BSHOA algorithm, the Butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA) is combined with Spotted Hyena Optimization (SHO) to enhance the global and local search behavior of BOA in the process of finding the optimal solution for the problem under consideration. To show the applicability and efficiency of the presented BSHOA approach, experiments will be done on real workloads taken from the Parallel Workload Archive comprising NASA Ames iPSC/860 and HP2CN (High-Performance Computing Center North) workloads. The investigation findings indicate that BSHOA has a strong capacity for dealing with the task scheduling issue and outperforms other approaches in terms of performance parameters including throughput, energy usage, and makespan time.

To maximize production efficiency, product quality control is paying more attention to the quick and reliable automated quality visual inspection. Product defect detection is a critical part of the inspection process. Manual defect detection has a lot of flaws that can be overcome using a deep learning approach. In this paper we have proposed and implemented the deep learning models to detect defects in the manufactured product. Two types of classification, i.e., binary and multiclass classification, is done using CNN, AlexNet, and YOLO algorithms. For the binary classification which is just used to check whether there is a defect in the product, we have proposed three different architectures of CNN, out of which the third CNN model gave 99.44% and 97.49% for training and testing, respectively. We also tested the AlexNet model and got accuracy of 97.6%. And for the multiclass classification that is used for identification of type(s) of defects, the YOLOv8 model is proposed and implemented, which gives better results by attaining a remarkable accuracy of 98.7% for multiclass classification. We also designed and developed the Android Application, which is used on the field for defect detection in the manufacturing industry.

Authors: Haque Mohd. Sayemul ,   Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh, Fahim Md. , Ibrahim Muhammad
Published: August 2024

Learning-to-rank is an applied domain of supervised machine learning. As feature selection has been found to be effective for improving the accuracy of learning models in general, it is intriguing to investigate this process for learning-to-rank domain. In this study, we investigate the use of a popular meta-heuristic approach called simulated annealing for this task. Under the general framework of simulated annealing, we explore various neighborhood selection strategies and temperature cooling schemes. We further introduce a new hyper-parameter called the progress parameter that can effectively be used to traverse the search space. Our algorithms are evaluated on five publicly benchmark datasets of learning-to-rank. For a better validation, we also compare the simulated annealing-based feature selection algorithm with another effective meta-heuristic algorithm, namely local beam search. Extensive experimental results show the efficacy of our proposed models.
Securing the Internet of Things: Evaluating Machine Learning Algorithms for Detecting IoT Cyberattacks Using CIC-IoT2023 Dataset
Authors: Jony Akinul Islam ,   American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB), Dhaka, 1229, Bangladesh, Arnob Arjun Kumar Bose
Published: August 2024

An increase in cyber threats directed at interconnected devices has resulted from the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), which necessitates the implementation of comprehensive defenses against evolving attack vectors. This research investigates the utilization of machine learning (ML) prediction models to identify and defend against cyber-attacks targeting IoT networks. Central emphasis is placed on the thorough examination of the CIC-IoT2023 dataset, an extensive collection comprising a wide range of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) assaults on diverse IoT devices. This ensures the utilization of a practical and comprehensive benchmark for assessment. This study develops and compares four distinct machine learning models Logistic Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), and Random Forest (RF) to determine their effectiveness in detecting and preventing cyber threats to the Internet of Things (IoT). The comprehensive assessment incorporates a wide range of performance indicators, such as F1-score, accuracy, precision, and recall. Significantly, the results emphasize the superior performance of DT and RF, demonstrating exceptional accuracy rates of 0.9919 and 0.9916, correspondingly. The models demonstrate an outstanding capability to differentiate between benign and malicious packets, as supported by their high precision, recall, and F1 scores. The precision-recall curves and confusion matrices provide additional evidence that DT and RF are strong contenders in the field of IoT intrusion detection. Additionally, KNN demonstrates a noteworthy accuracy of 0.9380. On the other hand, LR demonstrates the least accuracy with a value of 0.8275, underscoring its inherent incapability to classify threats. In conjunction with the realistic and diverse characteristics of the CIC-IoT2023 dataset, the study's empirical assessments provide invaluable knowledge for determining the most effective machine learning algorithms and fortification strategies to protect IoT infrastructures. Furthermore, this study establishes ground-breaking suggestions for subsequent inquiries, urging the examination of unsupervised learning approaches and the incorporation of deep learning models to decipher complex patterns within IoT networks. These developments have the potential to strengthen cybersecurity protocols for Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems, reduce the impact of emergent risks, and promote robust defense systems against ever-changing cyber challenges.

We address the challenge of optimizing the interaction between medical personnel and treatment stations within mobile and flexible medical care units (MFMCUs) in conflict zones. For the analysis of such systems, a closed queuing model with a finite number of treatment stations has been developed, which accounts for the possibility of performing multiple tasks for a single medical service request. Under the assumption of Poisson event flows, a system of integro-differential equations for the probability densities of the introduced states has been compiled. To solve it, the method of discrete binomial transformations is employed in conjunction with production functions. Solutions were obtained in the form of finite expressions, enabling the transition from the probabilistic characteristics of the model to the main performance metrics of the MFMCU: the load factor of medical personnel, and the utilization rate of treatment stations. The results show the selection of the number of treatment stations in the medical care area and the calculation of the appropriate performance of medical personnel.

Authors: Čapek Ladislav
Published: August 2024

Hrnčíři při výrobě keramiky interagovali s řadou materiálů, které dokázali přetvořit v pevnou hmotu a výrobek s funkčními, formálními a stylistickými vlastnostmi. V různých fázích výrobního procesu (získávání surovin, příprava keramických hmot, tváření, sušení, výpal) zapojovali nebo využívali různé toky energií – zejména mechanickou (lidské tělo), kinetickou, vodní, sluneční a tepelnou. Užitné vlastnosti nádob často úzce souvisely s kvalitou materiálů (keramických hmot) a schopností vyrovnávat se s tepelnou energií nebo odolávat mechanickému namáhání. Příspěvek prozkoumává proměny energetických a materiálových toků v hrnčířské výrobě v delším časovém horizontu od 13. až do konce 19. století pomocí přístupu chaîne opératoire. Sledována je i celková bilance energetické náročnosti hrnčířské výroby a jsou diskutovány otázky týkající se efektivity, intenzity a investic ve výrobě.
Počátky hradu Kost v severovýchodních Čechách : odkryv neznámé první stavební fáze hradu z první poloviny 14. století
Authors: Drnovský Pavel , Unger Jiří , Peřina Ivan
Published: August 2024

Hrad Kost (Čechy) představuje jeden z nejzachovalejších gotických hradů ve střední Evropě. V písemných pramenech se prvně objevuje ve 40. letech 14. století jako sídlo Beneše z Kosti. Na základě stavebních rozborů opírajících se o vzhled velké obytné věže se uvažovalo o završení první stavební fáze na sklonku 80. let 14. století během držby Petra z Vartenberka. Během archeologického výzkumu na přelomu let 2019–2020 byly nově identifikovány tři zděné stavby, které zcela předcházely dosud známé první fázi. Identifikován byl bergfrit, válcová věž a věžová brána. Hrad byl patrně v této nejstarší fázi již obyvatelný, v písemných pramenech je doložena hradní kaple a archeologickými nálezy pak provoz kachlových kamen. Všechny tyto stavby vybudované Benešem z Kosti během první poloviny 14. století zcela zanikly za radikální přestavby Petra z Vartenberka, dovršené na sklonku 80. let 14. století, kdy hrad zásadně změnil svou podobu do stavu, který v základních rysech přetrval do současnosti.
Objev zaniklé tvrze v Radostově u Hradce Králové : výsledky systematického nedestruktivního archeologického výzkumu vrchnostenského středověkého sídla
Authors: Drnovský Pavel
Published: August 2024

Studie se věnuje objevu zaniklé tvrze, která stávala v nivě Radostovského potoka v bezprostředním jižním sousedství dnešního intravilánu Radostova u Hradce Králové. Fortifikace byla lokalizována na základě identifikovaných terénních reliktů a dálkového průzkumu. V rámci několika let zde byly provedeny povrchové sběry, prospekce detektory kovů a geofyzikální průzkum. Na základě nálezů lze dobu provozu sídla vymezit přelomem 13. a 14. století a závěrem 15. století. Magnetometrické měření přineslo zjištění, že tvrz byla vystavěna ve dvou formálně takřka identických fázích, přičemž mladší fáze byla umístěna vůči starší fázi jen o málo západněji a oba půdorysy se částečně překrývají. V rámci mladší fáze sídla byly detektovány struktury vnitřní zástavby, dále obvodová fortifikace jádra tvrze a průběh příkopu a valu. V obou zachycených fázích tvrze se jednalo o vrchnostenské sídlo založené v nivě potoka, tvořené centrálním vyvýšeným pahorkem, obehnaným příkopem a valem. Tento typ šlechtického opevněného sídla je v oblasti západního Královéhradecka častý.
Vápenné pece v predpolí hradu Červený Kameň : príspevok k stavebným aktivitám Fuggerovcov v roku 1539
Authors: Neumann Martin , Lieskovský Tibor
Published: August 2024

Rok 1535 predstavuje pre dejiny hradu Červený Kameň významný zlom. Krátko po prevode do rúk Fuggerovcov, bohatej rodiny obchodníkov z Augsburgu, sa začína s prestavbou stredovekého hradu na modernú renesančnú pevnosť. Stavebné aktivity nových majiteľov zanechali stopy nielen na samotnom hrade, no i v jeho bezprostrednom okolí. K rekonštrukcii priebehu stavebných prác sú mimoriadne prínosné písomné pramene – v prípade hradu Červený Kameň je to hlavná pokladničná kniha z rokov 1539–1542, ktorá okrem iného dokumentuje náklady na stavbu vápenných pecí a výrobu vápna pre fuggerovskú novostavbu. Detailné účtovné záznamy však nezaznamenávajú lokalizáciu pecí – práve tu sa otvára cesta k aplikácii iných vedeckých metód, ktoré dokážu priniesť nový pohľad na riešenie uvedenej otázky. S využitím predikčného modelovania a vizualizácií leteckého laserového skenovania bude predstavený pokus o identifikovanie reliktov dokumentujúcich činnosti spojené s výrobou vápna.

Cieľom príspevku je prezentovať výsledky geofyzikálneho výskumu stredovekých cistercitských kláštorov na Slovensku. Georadarový a magnetometrický prieskum zaniknutého kláštora v Spišskom Štiavniku priniesol nové priestorové dáta, na základe ktorých bolo možné identifikovať jednotlivé časti kláštorného komplexu, aj s jeho zázemím. Ďalšou skúmanou lokalitou bola Opatová, ktorá je dnes súčasťou Lučenca. V rámci štúdia historických prameňov sa vedie diskusia o existencii kláštora, resp. jeho rádovej príslušnosti. V súčasnosti sa tu nachádza cintorín, ktorý značne limituje výskumné aktivity. Napriek tomu bol na prístupných miestach vykonaný georadarový prieskum, ktorý pravdepodobne zachytil deštruované murivá.
Armagedon na Grbe Rudolfa Slobodu ako divadelná prekladová situácia : (slovensko-české intersemiotické hľadanie)
Authors: Inštitorisová Dagmar
Published: August 2024

This paper deals with the issue of translation in theatrical communication in standard and less standard translation situations. The theoretical part is based on the understanding of translation as a monolingual metacommunicative situation by the Slovak literary scholar Anton Popovič, bi-lingual communication by the linguist and translator Edita Gromová, and mainly on the theory of intersemiotic translation by the American linguist of Russian origin Roman Osipovich Jakobson, and it also includes a model of the multimodal theatrical communication situation in the conclu-sion. The basic research material, which I used to exemplify the above-mentioned issue, is the emblematic dramatic text Armageddon na Grbe by the Slovak novelist and playwright Rudolf Sloboda. Directed by Juraj Nvota, the play was premiered at the Korzo Theater in Bratislava Astorka‘90 in 1993, and its Czech translation by Jan Antonín Pitínský was staged at the Zlín Municipal Theater in 2010 (directed by Dodo Gombár).
Teaching World Philosophies
Authors: Kirloskar-Steinbach Monika ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: August 2024

To step up the activity level of academic philosophizing, “Teaching World Philosophies” will propose that one first engage in a thorough housecleaning before teaching world-philosophical traditions today. In the path that will be sketched as an example in this regard, I will critically engage “the West,” a concept that looms over an adequate academic engagement with world philosophies today. Bringing into the conversation Humayun Kabir’s (1906–1969) analysis of philosophy as a space that can generate and foster critical independent thinking within a society, I will argue that a change in ingrained patterns of conducting a social activity like academic philosophy can be changed. This change might, in fact, be urgent especially in those locales in Europe in which academic philosophy as it is practiced today was crafted.

Rectus Femoris muscle injuries are relatively common among athletes who participate in sports that require sudden acceleration and deceleration movements. Due to the nature of the sport, football players in particular are frequently prone to such injuries. The Rectus femoris muscle is one of the four quadriceps muscles and is responsible for knee extension and hip flexion. Excessive force can cause the muscle to detach from its attachment site at the inferior superior iliac spine. Rectus Femoris muscle avulsion from the inferior superior iliac spine can be extremely painful and debilitating for the patient. This type of injury occurs when the muscle is pulled away from the bone, resulting in severe pain and swelling. Rest, ice, compression, and elevation are common treatments for this injury, as well as physical therapy to help the patient regain strength and mobility. In severe cases, surgery may be required to reattach the muscle to the bone. Patients must seek immediate medical attention to avoid further damage and ensure a full recovery. Most patients can expect to recover completely and return to their pre-injury level of activity with proper care and rehabilitation.

Introduction: The combination of pediatric obesity and congenital aortic stenosis (AS) may be clinically challenging. Many obese patients have technically difficult echocardiograms with poor acoustic windows. However, the suprasternal notch (SSN) may provide adequate images in these patients. By combining echocardiography with duplex sonography, the flow characteristics of turbulent blood flow (TBF) are shown in this patient. Case: An asymptomatic 12-year-old female presented in our outpatient clinic for routine surveillance of moderate congenital AS. As a neonate the patient required balloon aortic valvotomy for critical aortic stenosis. The body surface area was 2.1 m2 with a body mass index of 34.6 kg/m2. Reverse TBF was recorded along the medial wall of the ascending aorta (AO). Delayed TBF was recorded in the distal ascending AO, proximal left common carotid artery (LCC), and the proximal thoracic AO. The peak velocity of TBF in the proximal LCC was 3.9 m/sec and a 560% drop in peak velocity was shown between the proximal and distal LCC. Discussion: Pediatric obesity is an important consideration in congenital AS. Up to 27% of patients with congenital heart disease may be affected. The study of TBF may show changes that can lead to low velocity carotid blood flow. Conclusion: Recordings of TBF are feasible, even in some obese and technically difficult patients. The onset of reverse TBF, delayed TBF, and low velocity carotid blood flow could be indicators of TBF severity. Severe turbulence could be an indicator of long-term mortality.

In this opinion article, we argue that the requisite scientific knowledge and technological capabilities to elucidate the fundamental causes of chronic diseases - and to develop strategies for their prevention, reversal, and cure - already exist today. However, to implement this vision, a transformative shift in the scientific approach is required. We advocate for a new way to conduct science, inspired by the organizational structure, interdisciplinary synergy, and operational excellence of the Manhattan Project (not its goal of developing a weapon). This model will overcome the current fragmentation of the scientific efforts, which are dispersed across tens of thousands of isolated projects, each with distinct objectives, datasets, methodologies, and analyses. It will also not be distracted and disoriented by the current incentive structure in academic research, which focuses on publications. By adopting the collaborative and goal-oriented framework of the Manhattan Project, humanity can refocus the scientific efforts to effectively confront and consign chronic diseases to the annals of history.
