Soil Moisture Dynamics and Its Temporal Stability under Different-Aged Caragana korshinskii Shrubs in the Loess Hilly Region of China
Authors: Liang Haibin , Li Yani , An Xiaoxu , Liu Jie , Pan Naiqing , Li Zongshan
Published: June 2023

Soil moisture has a great influence on vegetation growth and survival in arid and semiarid regions. Information about deep soil moisture dynamics is vital for restoring vegetation and improving land management on the water-limited Loess Plateau. The spatiotemporal dynamics and temporal stability of deep soil moisture (at a soil depth of 600 cm) were observed in situ under Caragana korshinskii shrubs that had various stand ages (named CK-10yr, CK-20yr and CK-35yr) in the Loess hilly region of China. The results showed that under C. korshinskii, soil moisture generally decreased as the stand age rose. Meanwhile, its moisture was consistent with precipitation variation, and an obvious time lag in soil moisture was found compared to that in precipitation during the entire growing season. Along the soil profile, a transition belt linking the shallow with deep soil moisture occurred at a 200 cm soil depth in different slope positions and aspects. At the slope scale, both the slope aspect and slope position significantly affected soil moisture variation in the areas with planted C. korshinskii shrubs, experiencing a decreasing trend from semi-shady slopes to sunny ones and from lower positions to upper ones. However, the variance in soil moisture between different positions and slope aspects was small. For the slope aspect, except for CK-20yr, the different-aged C. korshinskii shrubs had higher soil moisture content on sunny slopes than on semi-shady slopes at the upper 0–200 cm soil depth, while the opposite was true at the 200–600 cm soil depths. For slope positions, the soil moisture variation was small between the 0 and 200 cm soil depths and larger between the 200 and 600 cm soil depths. Within the whole profiles, the representative depth under the C. korshinskii shrubs for the soil moisture content was mainly concentrated between the 400–500 cm soil depths, on average, showing a gradual deepening trend with increasing restoration age. In summary, the findings indicate that natural recovery with low-water consumption grasslands and manual management measures, such as thinning and mowing, should be strengthened to minimize the high soil moisture consumption rates that occur in a healthy soil moisture environment and maintain sustainable vegetation restoration.

Published: June 2023

In this study, the heterogeneous photosensitized oxidation treatment of winery effluents was optimized using chitosan carriers immobilized with Zn(II) Phthalocyanine tetrasulfonic acid. The influence of main operating parameters such as initial pH, aeration flow rate, photocatalyst load, and concentration of the photosensitizer used in the photocatalysts’ preparation was investigated. Results for chemical oxygen demand (COD) and phenolic content (TPh) removals are presented for each of the tests performed. Best reductions were obtained after 30 min of treatment in natural sunlight at an initial pH of 4.0 and an aeration flow of 2.8 L/min since it allowed reductions of 45% for COD and 73% for phenolic content (TPh). In addition, the possibility of reusing the photocatalysts during several cycles was also assessed, where an acidic initial pH allowed their reuse, being the only pH value studied where the leaching of the photosensitizer was not observed. In these conditions, the same photocatalysts were reused for six reaction cycles, and efficiency started to decrease after the third use. Thus, a greater mass and concentration of photosensitizer contributed to a superior reduction in organic matter. The results show that heterogeneous photosensitized oxidation using sunlight radiation as an energy source is an interesting approach for obtaining reusable water from winery effluents.
The Roles of Adaptive Water Governance in Enhancing the Transition towards Ecosystem-Based Adaptation
Authors: Akamani Kofi
Published: June 2023

The growing realization of the inadequacies of the conventional approach to climate change adaptation has generated interest in sustainable forms of adaptation that could promote long-term ecosystem health and social equity. In this regard, the concept of ecosystem-based adaptation has been receiving attention as an integrative framework for maintaining healthy ecosystems, with the aim of building the resilience and reducing the vulnerability of social–ecological systems to climate change impacts. However, there is currently an inadequate understanding of the institutional requirements for the transition towards ecosystem-based adaptation. A promising institutional mechanism for addressing these governance challenges is adaptive governance, a governance mechanism that relies on flexible, multi-level institutions to connect actors across multiple scales in managing conflicting values and uncertainties in ecosystem-based management processes. This paper discusses four roles of adaptive governance in the transition of water resource systems towards ecosystem-based adaptation: (1) creating awareness about climate change through social learning and the integration of diverse sources of knowledge; (2) generating interest for policy change through the provision of economic and non-economic incentives; (3) creating opportunities for change through the promotion of vertical and horizontal interactions among actors; and (4) building capacities for change through enhanced access to relevant institutions and resources.

Published: June 2023

As a response to climate changes, permafrost has deteriorated and the hydrologic process has undergone significant alterations in high-cold regions. The response mechanism still remains unknown. The characteristic contribution was calculated using the random forest (RF) algorithm, AdaBoost algorithm, and gradient-boosted decision tree (GBDT) algorithm. A comprehensive evaluation model was constructed to evaluate the contribution of climate changes to the headwaters of the Yellow River and the influence of permafrost degradation as well as climate-permafrost cooperation on runoff changes. The selected characteristic vectors were chosen as datasets for the support vector machine (SVM) and RF algorithms. A model was constructed for the prediction of permafrost degradation and runoff changes based on climate data. Results demonstrated that climate variables influencing the mean depth-to-permafrost table (DPT) were ranked according to their contributions: air temperature > evapotranspiration > wind speed > relative humidity (RHU) > sunshine duration > precipitation. The descending rank of climate and permafrost variables according to their contributions to runoff was the following: precipitation > sunshine duration > permafrost coverage > evapotranspiration > relative humidity (RHU) > mean DPT > wind speed > maximum DPT > air temperature. The model demonstrated good prediction results. The outputs can provide scientific references in applications related to water resources and the protection of ecologically vulnerable areas in high-cold regions.

Unlocking the Potential of Wastewater Treatment: Machine Learning Based Energy Consumption Prediction
Authors: Alali Yasminah , Harrou Fouzi , Sun Ying
Published: June 2023

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are energy-intensive facilities that fulfill stringent effluent quality norms. Energy consumption prediction in WWTPs is crucial for cost savings, process optimization, compliance with regulations, and reducing the carbon footprint. This paper evaluates and compares a set of 23 candidate machine-learning models to predict WWTP energy consumption using actual data from the Melbourne WWTP. To this end, Bayesian optimization has been applied to calibrate the investigated machine learning models. Random Forest and XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) were applied to assess how the incorporated features influenced the energy consumption prediction. In addition, this study investigated the consideration of information from past data in improving prediction accuracy by incorporating time-lagged measurements. Results showed that the dynamic models using time-lagged data outperformed the static and reduced machine learning models. The study shows that including lagged measurements in the model improves prediction accuracy, and the results indicate that the dynamic K-nearest neighbors model dominates state-of-the-art methods by reaching promising energy consumption predictions.
Optimized Design of a Multistage Centrifugal Pump Based on Volumetric Loss Reduction by Auxiliary Blades
Authors: Gao Yi , Li Wei , Qi Handong , Ji Leilei , Chen Yunfei
Published: June 2023

Throat ring leakage is a major factor deteriorating the performance of multistage centrifugal pumps. This paper focuses on the optimization of multistage centrifugal pumps by incorporating the principle of the Tesla valve and adding an auxiliary set of blades to the impeller body. By changing the direction and magnitude of the leaking fluid’s flow, the leakage volume of the impeller throat ring is reduced. The study results demonstrate that the experimental error in head calculation with numerical simulation at the optimal working condition was 0.65%, verifying the accuracy of the numerical simulation method. The leakage volume of the throat ring decreased by up to approximately 28.99% compared to the original structure, which significantly increased the pump’s head and overall efficiency. Near the optimal operating point, the pump’s head and overall efficiency increased by approximately 8.1% and 8.7%, respectively. The larger the flow rate, the greater the improvement in the pump’s head and total efficiency. Near high-flow operating conditions, the pump’s head and overall efficiency increased by approximately 116.45% and 110.84%, respectively. The auxiliary blade structure introduces a non-contact seal which, compared to traditional seal structures, improves seal life and reduces seal costs. Additionally, the auxiliary blades can shift the optimal operating point of the multistage centrifugal pump towards a higher flow rate, improving the pump’s delivery capability.
Co-Occurrence of Earthquake and Climatic Events on Groundwater Budget Alteration in a Fractured Carbonate Aquifer (Sibillini Mts.—Central Italy)
Authors: Mastrorillo Lucia , Viaroli Stefano , Petitta Marco
Published: June 2023

The combination of several factors related both to human pressure as well as natural issues could lead to a marked alteration of the groundwater budget terms and a decrease in groundwater availability. The basal aquifer of the Sibillini Mts. is a strategic resource of drinking water in the central sector of Apennine (Italy). The seismic sequence that occurred in this area in 2016 induced transient and sustained modifications in the aquifer settings. Springs located on the western side of the Sibillini Mts. were characterized by an increased discharge, while in contrast, the eastern springs suffered an intense drop in their groundwater discharge. In 2017, a drought period started immediately after the exhaustion of the seismic sequence effect. The comparison between the recharge and discharge of the major springs in the 2000–2020 period allowed the definition of the different responses of the aquifer to the co-occurrence of earthquakes and climatic events. The hydrodynamic alteration triggered by the earthquake induced a huge depletion of the groundwater stored in the eastern sector of the basal aquifer (at least 50 × 106 m3). The scarce recharge occurring in the following drought period (more than 30% of the average annual value) was not enough to restore the groundwater resources, causing a serious drinking water supply crisis in the main tapped springs in the eastern sector of the aquifer.

Published: June 2023

Key Points

The adjustments made by the dialysis units during the peak of the pandemic were effective in maneuvering the challenges faced by our patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Patients who remained on PD were satisfied with the quality of care, felt supported by the unit staff, and did not report feeling anxious or depressed.

Background

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, adjustments were made to peritoneal dialysis (PD) practices in the outpatient units. These were decisions made by dialysis providers, clinical staff, and governments with input from patient organizations in some instances. The patient perspective regarding these changes during the pandemic has not been explored. We sought to evaluate patient experiences and perceptions of the challenges they faced, institutional adjustments, and their mental health during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional survey of PD patients across four home dialysis units affiliated with four large academic centers, who were on PD between March 2020 and March 2021.

Results

Ninety-eight participants completed the survey across the four outpatient PD clinics. Over 95% of patients did not have to change their home accommodations during the pandemic, and over 80% did not have issues getting their dialysis supplies and medications delivered. Ninety-three percent of patients felt comfortable coming to the dialysis unit if they needed to during the pandemic. Almost all patients (98%) felt supported by their dialysis staff during the peak of COVID-19 and had modified Patient Health Questionnaire 2 (91%) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2-item (96%) scores not consistent with depression or anxiety. Less than 10% of patients considered changing their dialysis modality.

Conclusions

The adjustments made by the dialysis units during the peak of the pandemic were effective in maneuvering the challenges faced by our patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, patients who remained on PD were satisfied with the quality of care, felt supported by the unit staff, and did not report feeling anxious or depressed.

In attempts to serve such clients, the greatest gaps existed for clients whose main language was Spanish, followed by those who had vision impairments and then those who had hearing difficulties. Extension professionals surveyed recommended that use of resources to meet the needs of such clients be prioritized as follows: accommodating clients who face language challenges (those whose main language is Spanish), using contractors to adapt materials or provide live assistance, and providing applicable technology or equipment.
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN LABOR RELATIONS: LEGAL REGULATION ON THE EXAMPLE OF FRANCE
Authors: KNIAZEVA A.S.
Published: June 2023

The article discusses some aspects of the use of digital technologies by an employer in French practice, substantiates the relevance of their application. The author focuses on French legal regulation, since it is in France that labor law plays an important role in the system of legal relations. Trends in the use of document management system and e-mail, for example, for the purpose of dismissal of employees, are noted, nuances regarding the reasons for dismissal and procedural aspects are considered. It is concluded that the dismissal depends on the employee’s call for a preliminary conversation with the employer and on a written notification of the reasons for the dismissal. The position of the French courts on the possibility of notifying an employee by sending a letter by e-mail is analyzed, according to which the illegality of dismissal does not come from the format of sending a notification, but from the reasons for dismissal. In addition, the author analyzes judicial practice on proving the actual time worked by an employee using digital technologies, describes the advantages of an employer over an employee in such disputes. It is noted that cases involving the transfer of corporate information by an employee via his personal or corporate mail are of rather great importance, as well as the fact that the courts in France take into account the totality of circumstances in which an employee transmitted this or that information related to official by corporate or personal e-mail. In particular, special attention is paid to the employer’s failure to provide evidence of «imminent damage» or «obvious illegal actions» on the part of the employee.

Authors: Irani Soussan , Khamverdi Zahra , Soltanian Alireza , Bagheri Oujan
Published: June 2023

Background: Academic dishonesty is the most important educational concern. According to previous studies, it is more common in several groups of students. To prevent academic dishonesty, it is important to know the extent of the problem. Accordingly, this study was designed to investigate the behaviors, attitudes, and interpretations of dental students regarding exam fraud in the 2015-2016 academic years. Methods: For this purpose, a three-part questionnaire was prepared, including demographic characteristics and specific questions. The specific questions included students’ behavior, attitudes, and interpretation in the form of three scenarios. A total of 163 questionnaires were collected, and the statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, version 20. The Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis test were used to analyze the data. Results: The students consisted of 90 males (55.2%) and 73 females (44.8%), and their average age was 22.72±2 years (22.3±2.87 and 23.23±2.37 years for boys and girls, respectively). The results revealed that around 65.6% of students were generally aware of the fraud problem in the faculty and knew the cheaters (63.1%). Further, 55.2% of students believed that instructors should prevent cheating during the exam. Data analyses demonstrated that there were no significant differences between boys and girls in all research variables. Finally, the average behavior proportion and attitude of the first-year students were higher than those of other students. Conclusion: Based on the findings, the rate of fraud was high in dentistry schools and possibly in other medical schools, highlighting the importance of the creating culture in changing students’ attitudes.

Authors: HUSEYNOVA Aziza , ALİ ALAKBARLI Ali
Published: June 2023

In this study, the amount of flavonoid aggregates in the pollen of the common almond (Amygdalus communis L.) plant, which is common in Nakhchivan MR, was analyzed. The study of flavonoids in pollen can provide useful information for assessing the nutritional and healing quality of bee products. In the study, an extract was prepared on 60% ethyl alcohol from the pollen of the common almond plant. For the determination of flavonoids, a solution of 2% aluminum chloride in alcohol and a standard rutin solution were used. Biochemical analysis was performed by spectrophotometer method. The determination of flavonoid concentration was determined by measuring their absorbance at a wavelength of 310 nm. Based on the absorption results of solutions of different concentrations of rutin, the dependence in the calibration graph is expressed by the equation Y=0.032x+0.477. The correlation coefficient was R=0.993. The optical density (Y) of common almond (A. communis L.) pollen extract in alcohol was calculated based on the equation given in the calibration graph and was determined to be 0.041±0.02 mg/mL flavonoid (according to rutin). As a result of spectrophotometric research, it was determined that the pollen of common almond (A. communis L.) contains 10.29±1.16% flavonoid aggregate.
Schulklima und Pädagogik bei Gefühls- und Verhaltensstörungen: Aktueller Forschungsstand und erste Ergebnisse bei Schülerinnen und Schülern mit Symptomverhalten
Authors: Casale Gino , Hennemann Thomas
Published: June 2023

Das Schulklima wird mittlerweile seit einigen Jahrzehnten aus verschiedenen wissenschaftstheoretischen Perspektiven erforscht. Relativ gut gesichert ist dabei unter anderem, dass ein positives Schulklima einen schützenden Einfluss auf die psychosoziale Gesundheit der an Schule beteiligten Akteure (v.a. Schülerinnen und Schüler, Lehrkräfte, Eltern) hat. Damit hat das Thema eine unmittelbare Relevanz für die Pädagogik bei Gefühls- und Verhaltensstörungen bzw. die Arbeit im Förderschwerpunkt der Emotionalen und sozialen Entwicklung (ESE). Der vorliegende Beitrag arbeitet die Bedeutung des Schulklimas für die Pädagogik bei Gefühls- und Verhaltensstörungen heraus. Dafür wird zunächst der aktuelle Forschungsstand zusammengefasst. Davon ausgehend werden wissenschaftliche Herausforderungen herausgearbeitet. Anschließend wird anhand einer empirischen Studie mit Schülerinnen und Schülern aus der Sekundarstufe I aufgezeigt, inwiefern diese Herausforderungen wissenschaftlich adressiert werden können. Die Ergebnisse der Studie weisen darauf hin, dass signifikante Zusammenhänge zwischen der Intensität von Symptomen einer Gefühls- und Verhaltensstörung und dem Schulklima bestehen. Außerdem unterscheiden sich Schülerinnen und Schüler am Gymnasium und an der Förderschule mit dem Schwerpunkt Emotionale und soziale Entwicklung signifikant in ihrer Wahrnehmung des Schulklimas. Der Beitrag schließt mit einer Diskussion hinsichtlich der Besonderheiten zur Schulklimaforschung in der Pädagogik bei Verhaltensstörungen.
Überlegungen zur künftigen Positionierung einer Pädagogik bei Verhaltensstörungen bzw. des Förderschwerpunkts „Emotionale und soziale Entwicklung“
Authors: Walkenhorst Philipp
Published: June 2023

Der universitär verankerte Förderschwerpunkt „emotional-soziale Entwicklungsförderung“ befindet sich derzeit in einer neuen Phase der Selbstverortung und Positionierung im Gefüge individueller und sozialer Hilfen für junge Menschen in erschwerten Lebenslagen. Zunehmend wird deutlich, dass die Selbstbegrenzung des Faches allein auf die schulische und schulbezogene Förderung seiner jungen Adressatinnen und Adressaten sowie ihres sozialen Umfeldes den oftmals komplexen Förderbedarfen und –notwendigkeiten nicht gerecht wird. Unternommen wird der Versuch, skizzenhaft Zielgruppen, inhaltliche Umrisse und Herausforderungen eines pädagogischen Fachgebietes zu bezeichnen, welche einerseits den Tendenzen der Versäulung und des „Verschiebens“ von sog. „Problemfällen der Erziehung“ durch einen strukturell-mehrperspektivischen Blick entgegenwirken, andererseits auch den berechtigten sozialkritischen Diskursen hinsichtlich der Produktion gesellschaftlicher Abweichungen gerecht werden.

Der Beitrag beruht auf der These, dass ein Empfinden von Machtlosigkeit beim Umgang mit als schwierig erlebten Schülerinnen und Schülern, aber auch mit Kolleginnen und Kollegen, Lehrkräfte Fortbildungen zum Themenfeld „Schwieriges Verhalten“ aufsuchen lässt. Unter Rückgriff auf die Konzeption und die Umsetzung eines Basiskurses „Reduzieren von Verhaltensstörungen – Aufbau erwünschten Verhaltens“ (Basiskurs esE) aus dem Qualifizierungskonzept „Inklusive Bildung“ des Thüringer Instituts für Lehrerfortbildung, Lehrplanentwicklung und Medien (ThILLM, 2015) wird anhand ausgewählter Fallvignetten aufgezeigt, wie es gelingen kann, die diffuse und komplexe Gefühlslage der Sich-Fortbildenden aufzugreifen und so zu reflektieren, dass sich für sie neue Handlungsoptionen eröffnen und sich infolgedessen Entwicklungschancen für die Heranwachsenden auftun.
Deutungsmacht der Forschung, Ohnmacht in der Praxis? – Evidenzbasierte Sonderpädagogik als Exlusionsrisiko
Authors: Willmann Marc
Published: June 2023

Unter dem Leitbegriff der Evidenzbasierung feiert der Behaviorismus gegenwärtig seine Widerauferstehung in der Sonderpädagogik. Protegiert durch ein gesteigertes politisches Interesse an technologischem Wissen ist mittlerweile eine Forschungsindustrie entstanden, die sich auf einer fragwürdigen Taxonomie der wissenschaftlichen Methoden gründet. Die Hierarchisierung nach unterschiedlichen Evidenzklassen, die auf einer Systematik nach dem Grad der methodischen Standardisierung von Forschungsdesigns aufbaut, führt zu dem szientistisch-technologischen Fehlschluss, dass nur Maßnahmen und Interventionen als empirisch belastbar und wissenschaftlich empfehlenswert gelten sollen, die durch Methoden der Evidenzforschung auf ihre Wirksamkeit geprüft wurden. In der Adaption auf die Pädagogik wird eine evidenzbasierte Erziehungspraxis nach den gleichen Parametern definiert: „gute“ Pädagogik müsse einen empirischen Evidenznachweis erbringen. Gerade in der Sonderpädagogik führt das Evidenzparadigma zu einer neuerlichen Stärkung empirischer Interventions- und Evaluationsforschung, die sich im Bereich der Pädagogik bei Verhaltensstörungen traditionell in der Form der verhaltenswissenschaftlichen Theoriebildung sowie behavioraler Programmentwicklung und Interventionsplanung niederschlägt. – Die vorgetragene Kritik am Evidenzparadigma wird überführt in ein Plädoyer zur Überwindung wissenschaftlicher Orthodoxien und mündet in der Forderung, die Vielfalt der Methoden in Forschung und Praxis zu wahren. Alternative Theorie- und Forschungsperspektiven werden aufgezeigt.

The Impact of Online Education of Practical Courses on Pharmacy Students Practical and Communication Skills: Students’ Perceptions
Authors: Mohammad Haneen , AlMuhaissen Suha
Published: June 2023

The quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic has forced universities to continue their education courses remotely, including practical courses. However, delivering practical laboratory courses was challenging, since all simulation laboratory courses lack real hands-on experience. The purpose of this study was to assess student’s perception of the impact of online delivery of hands-onlaboratory courses, on pharmacy students’ practical and communication skills. An anonymous Microsoft®Forms-based cross-sectional questionnaire was sent to potential participants at the University of Jordan Pharmacy School. Students’ responses were analysed using SPSS® 23.0 software. A total of 274 online surveys were completed. About 69% of students preferred the hands-on laboratory courses and about 62% of students did not find online labs as effective as hands-on laboratory courses. About 73% of students think that online learning negatively affected their practical skills. Approximately 76% of students think that direct working in the lab improves their communication skills. Overall, Students prefer the traditional lab for practical course learning and think that learning online has negatively affected their practical and communication skills. This emphasises that pharmacy schools should consider the nature of practical courses when it comes to online educational methods inclusion into their curricula, to maximize the benefits delivered to students while matching students’ needs and preferences.
In vitro Assessment of Antibacterial Activity and Potential Genotoxic Effect of Fruit Extracts of Capparis spinosa L. Plant
Authors: Adwan Ghaleb
Published: June 2023

This research was carried out to assess the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the genotoxic potential of ethanolic and aqueous (cold and hot) fruit extracts of Capparis spinosa L. (C. spinosa) plant against different types of bacterial strains. The antimicrobial effect of these extracts against the tested bacteria was investigated using broth microdilution method. The potential genotoxic effect was evaluated by ERIC-PCR technique. Results of the current study revealed that the MIC values of ethanolic fruit extract against the tested bacterial had a range of 12.5 mg/ml to 25 mg/ml. However, aqueous fruit extracts had an MIC with a range of 50 mg/ml to 100 mg/mL. The potential genotoxic activity of cold aqueous extract was determined according to the changes in ERIC-PCR profile of E. coli strain treated with extract in comparison to that untreated (negative control). Results of this study suggest the genotoxic effect of aqueous fruit extract on E. coli. Further research is required to assess and identify the biological molecules and their mechanisms in the context of the genotoxicity. In vivo genotoxicity assessment or with the presence of liver extract is recommended to evaluate the safety of using fruits for therapeutic purposes and a valuable nutrient source.

Athens and Jerusalem Redux

Published: June 2023

In this essay, I evaluate the extent to which some currents in classical Christian mysticism might count as properly ‘Christian’ against the rules of faith and theological methodology of thinkers like Tertullian, Irenaeus, and Justin Martyr. I begin by expounding this methodology as it relates to non-Christian philosophical traditions, and from there explore the rules these thinkers offer, suggesting that the beating heart of these rules is not a string of propositions to affirm so much as it is a commitment to a certain rendition of biblical narrative grammar. After exploring this grammar, I turn to a brief discussion of the foundations of Christian mysticism and the thought of Evagrius Ponticus. The aim here is to illustrate the theoretical foundations of much Christian mysticism, as well as to provide a test case to evaluate how far some prominent elements of this discourse might, or might not, cohere with the biblical narrative grammar elucidated above. I argue that there is ample room to question the legitimacy of Evagrius’s claim to properly Christian theorizing, and suggest this has serious implications for future Christian work in the philosophy of mysticism.
Kim and the Pairing Problem for Dualism
Authors: Hyde Jason
Published: June 2023

The philosophical history of metaphysics of mind can be narrowed into two problems: Mind and body causation and issues of the self or persons. Due to the rise of the scientific revolution the nature of mental states and its possessors has been reduced to brain and cognitive functioning or eliminated instead of the ontological basic substance of a soul. The other criticism of soul identity or substance dualism is the problem of mental causation. In The Blackwell Companion to Substance Dualism (2018), Jaegwon Kim argues against the intelligibility of Cartesian dualism and further extends that argument to any form of substance dualism by raising the question of mental causation or the traditional mind-body problem. His main attack comes from the essence of mind and the causal closure of the physical, together these provide an argument against the non-physical view of persons. The question, “can mental events cause physical events?” Is a problem for the dualist which he calls “the pairing problem.” Since causation requires a spatiotemporal relation between two bodies, and mind and body are distinct substances or properties, there’s no cause-and-effect pairing relation between minds and physical objects or bodies. Thus, according to Kim, the essence of an immaterial thinking substance, such as a soul, is unintelligible and should be rejected since it fails to answer the pairing problem. However, Kim has a misunderstanding of substance dualist views of the independent ontological status of a substantial self or soul. Further, Kim’s challenge does not take into account a causal powers ontology in which primitive is the free agentive causal subject. I’ll argue that a soul, though embodied, is a non-material primitive substance that has basic faculties to exemplify mental properties. One of the faculties of the soul is the instantiation of active agency. Further, the postulation of Gods existence, having a metaphysical internal structure and powers, is grounds for the existence of a soul with its own metaphysical, unified structure in which the dispositional properties of consciousness are located and exemplified. I conclude that mental causation is a coherent notion especially in light of the active powers of agent causation. Thus, Kim’s problem of mental causation becomes no problem at all.
