Mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) is an infectious disease caused by MPXV, a member of the family Poxviridae. On July 23, 2022, the WHO declared the first Public Health Emergency of International Concern of Mpox due to an escalating global outbreak with low intensity. Two clades of MPXV and sev-eral lineages within each of these clades have been described. Clade I, also known as the Central African clade, causes a more severe and lethal disease than clade II, which circulates in West Africa. MPXV clade IIb caused the first international outbreak (2022), while clade Ib caused a more recent one (2023-2024). Venezue-la reported 12 cases during the 2022-2023 outbreak. This study aims to describe the epidemiological and virological characteristics of these cases. The first three cases were from men infected outside Venezuela, while most of the subsequent ones were from men who acquired the disease in the country. All the cases were from men who have sex with men, and frequently also people living with HIV-1/AIDS. No critical outcome was observed in any of the patients. Sequence analysis showed that most of the MPXV belonged to clade IIb lineage B.1. The recurrent emergence of mpox epidemics warrants the further implementation of molecular epidemiology surveillance and vaccination programs.

Published: December 2024

The antipsychotic drug Clozapine (CLZ) is approved for treat-ment-resistant schizophrenia and reduction in the risk of recurrent suicidal behavior in schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. However, it is increasingly used in psychiatry and neurology worldwide in numerous off-label conditions. Clozapine is associated with diverse side effects which require careful monitor-ing in its use for prevention and treatment. The quality of CLZ use and pharma-covigilance varies considerably among Latin American countries. CLZ-induced gastrointestinal hypomotility (CIGH) is a relevant clinical problem, ranging from innocuous constipation to lethal necrotic colitis. Thus, optimal preven-tion, early detection, and treatment of CIGH deserves considerable attention. We describe here the case of a 15-year-old Mexican boy diagnosed with Opposi-tional Defiant- and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder who developed se-vere necrotic colitis after nine months of CLZ treatment, leading to permanent ileostomy. We ascribed this unfortunate outcome to careless polypharmacy that did not consider drug-related antimuscarinic activity, deficient clinical moni-toring, and lack of attention to ethnicity concerning drug dosing. This case is of educational value for the mental health team in order to promote the proper use of CLZ, which may be life-saving in patients with severe mental disorders.

Published: December 2024

Background and Objectives: Long-term antiviral use can suppress hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, normalize liver function tests, reverse fibrosis and cirrhosis, and improve histological changes. Understanding adherence and the factors affecting it is crucial for managing chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) patients, achieving sustained suppression with low drug resistance risk, and developing strategies to address poor adherence. This study aims to assess antiviral medication adherence and factors associated with adherence among HBV patients on treatment at the gastroenterology clinic in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 149 HBV patients undergoing therapy at TASH from May 2023 to February 2024. The medication adherence level was assessed using Morisky’s 8-item medication adherence questionnaire. Data was entered into Epi Info 7 for database construction and exported to SPSS version 26. Different statistical analyses were used, including frequencies of variables and descriptive statistics. An ordinal logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with medication adherence levels. The proportional odds model (POM) assumptions were checked using chi-square and parallel line tests. Results: The study found that only 32.2% participants had high adherence, 39.6% had medium adherence, and 28.2% had low adherence. Rural dweller (a POR: 2.4; 95%CI: 1.09 to 5.20), low educational level (a POR: 3; 95%CI: 1.27 to 7.13), being unmarried (a POR: 2.52; 95%CI: 1.15 to 5.50), not being counseled about medication adherence by treating physicians (a POR: 3.2; 95%CI: 1.61 to 6.50), and an abnormal liver function tests (a POR: 2.31; 95%CI: 1.08 to 4.92) were significantly associated with medium or low medication adherence level. Conclusion: The study reveals low medication adherence rates among participants, with only a minority demonstrating high adherence. Factors such as rural dwellings, low educational level, being unmarried, lack of counseling, and abnormal liver function tests were significantly associated with medium or low adherence. Targeted interventions are needed to improve adherence, especially for individuals in rural areas with lower education levels and who are unmarried. Efforts should be made to integrate medication adherence discussions into routine healthcare visits and raise physician awareness about counseling patients on adherence are crucial.

Published: December 2024

A Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) is a crucial
feedback control system used to synchronize the phase of an
output signal with a reference signal. This paper explores the
design, analysis, and applications of PLLs in modern
communication systems, digital circuits, and power
electronics. The study covers the fundamental components of
a PLL—phase detector, low-pass filter, and voltage-controlled
oscillator (VCO)—and their interactions in achieving phase
synchronization. Key performance parameters such as lock
time, jitter, stability, and noise sensitivity are examined in
detail. Furthermore, the paper discusses advanced PLL
architectures, including digital PLLs (DPLLs) and all-digital
PLLs (ADPLLs), highlighting their advantages in high-speed
and low-power applications. Simulation and experimental
results validate the theoretical analysis, demonstrating the
PLL's effectiveness in frequency synthesis, clock recovery,
and modulation/demodulation tasks. The findings underscore
the PLL's versatility and its continued relevance in evolving

technologies such as 5G networks, IoT devices, and mixed-
signal integrated circuits.

Key Words: Phase detector, loop filter, VCO, frequency

Analysing the Impact of RBI Repo Rate Adjustments on Inflation Control in India (2010–2023)
Authors: Kumar M Dr. Kiran , Chaturvedi Vaibhav , Nagaraj Muktha , Hamdaan Mohammed
Published: December 2024

This paper investigates the relationship between the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) repo rate adjustments and
inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), from 2010 to 2023.The repo rate serves as a primary
monetary policy tool for the RBI, allowing the central bank to influence economic activity and manage inflation
through changes in borrowing costs for commercial banks. Using a combination of descriptive statistics,
regression analysis, and scenario-based simulations, this study aims to assess the impact of repo rate changes on
inflationary trends in India.
The findings reveal a statistically significant correlation between repo rate adjustments and inflation, with a
correlation coefficient of 0.68, indicating a moderate to strong positive relationship. Scenario analyses
demonstrate that gradual increases in the repo rate are generallymore effective in moderating inflation compared
to abrupt changes. Additionally, simulation- driven analysis, employing Monte Carlo techniques, underscores the
predictability of inflation outcomes under various repo rate adjustment scenarios. However, the study also
highlights that external factors, such as global commodity prices and domestic supply chain disruptions,
substantially influence inflation dynamics, thereby limiting the effectiveness of repo rate adjustments in
isolation.
Overall, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on monetary policy effectiveness inIndia by illustrating
the nuanced relationship between repo rate changes and inflation management. It emphasizes the necessity for a
holistic approach that combines monetary and fiscal measures to achieve comprehensive inflation control.
Policymakers are encouraged to consider these findings when formulating strategies to stabilize prices,
particularly in a contextmarked by fluctuating global economic conditions and persistent inflationary pressures.

Keywords: Repo rate, inflation, RBI, scenario analysis, simulation, monetary policy

It would be your child. Parental abuse and restorative justice

In the (international) literature not much is found on parental abuse. Nevertheless, it is not difficult to imagine that violence by children against parents can be highly disruptive to family life. We need to know more about the developmental paths and profiles in which parental abuse can manifest itself. Factors such as the children’s living situation (at home with their parents or not), cultural views on family, relatives and violence, (mental) health and previous experiences with perpetration and victimization of family members, should be taken into consideration. The way in which the violence against the parent(s) manifests itself (e.g. mainly psychological or physical or constructively from psychological to physical) should also be an important part of these development paths and profiles. When discovering different patterns of parental abuse, it may also turn out that there is not one intervention that works in every situation. This does not alter the fact that a recoveryoriented approach seems to have very favourable cards in advance, because of the attention paid to the relational aspects.

Physiological Adaptive Capabilities of Fifteen Different Local Rice Cultivars Under Salinity Condition
Authors: Sarker Aparna , Roy Subhas Chandra
Published: December 2024

Rice is a major cereal contributing to the world’s calories consumption and staple food crop over for one-third of the world’s population. At present salinity is the second most widespread soil problem after drought and is considered as a serious constraint to increase rice production. Soil salinity affects plants through osmotic effects, ion-specific effects and oxidative stress. The effect of salinity stress in plants is mediated at least in part by an enhanced generation of active oxygen species, especially in chloroplast and in mitochondria which cause lipid peroxidation and membrane injury, protein degradation and enzyme inactivation. Plants have developed a complex anti-oxidant complex which mitigates and repairs the damage initiated by reactive oxygen species, toward enzyme synthesis to protect the cellular and subcellular system degradation. The seedling stage is one of the most sensitive stages to salt stress in rice and studies on salt tolerance during this stage could probably provide insights for enhancing tolerance throughout the plant life cycle. The present investigation was undertaken to examine the influence of NaCl on metabolic status of chlorophyll, protein, starch, soluble sugar and salt-tolerant capabilities among different rice cultivars.

Authors: Gupta Saran Kumar
Published: December 2024

Centella asiatica (L.) Urban, commonly known as Indian pennywort, a small perennial herb from the Apiaceae family has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different extraction solvents on the therapeutic and phytochemical profiles of various parts of Centella asiatica. Among the various plant parts assessed, the leaves exhibited the best antioxidant and in vitro antidiabetic activity and the highest amount of phytoconstituents compared to petiole and root. Methanol was identified as the most effective solvent, yielding optimal IC50 values for DPPH (30.65 μg/ml) and ABTS (45.23 μg/ml). Additionally, the methanolic extract of leaves exhibited highest content of phenolics (65.49 mg GAE/g DW) and flavonoids (12.56 mg QE/g DW). The methanolic leaf extract also demonstrated a promising inhibition potential against α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes and possessed elevated levels of alkaloids, glycosides, tannins and terpenoids. This study demonstrated significant variations in the therapeutic potential of Centella asiatica, attributed to differences in the nature of the extraction solvents.

Authors: Boreli Maria Eduarda Alves , Locatelli Karyna Maria de Mello , Silva Juliana Lilis da , Amâncio Natália de Fátima Gonçalves
Published: December 2024

A obesidade infantil é uma condição crônica multifatorial resultante do desequilíbrio energético, caracterizada pelo excesso de gordura corporal. Nos últimos anos, a prevalência aumentou devido a hábitos alimentares inadequados e sedentarismo. A obesidade está associada a riscos significativos, como doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, problemas ortopédicos, e distúrbios psicológicos, incluindo baixa autoestima e exclusão social, que intensificam os impactos negativos. Políticas públicas e intervenções são essenciais para prevenir e tratar esta condição. Este estudo utilizou uma revisão integrativa exploratória de literatura em bases como PubMed, SciELO e Google Acadêmico, abrangendo publicações entre 2020 e 2024. A estratégia PICO orientou a pesquisa sobre os impactos da obesidade na autoestima e saúde infantil. Foram selecionados 21 artigos após aplicação de critérios de inclusão e exclusão. A análise seguiu o protocolo PRISMA, com categorização dos estudos e fichamento para extração de dados relevantes. Os achados apontam que a obesidade infantil é influenciada por fatores genéticos, ambientais e sociais. Alimentos ultraprocessados e sedentarismo estão entre os principais fatores de risco, enquanto o ambiente familiar e escolar são centrais para a prevenção. Psicologicamente, a baixa autoestima e a estigmatização estão associadas à obesidade, afetando o desenvolvimento emocional. Intervenções precoces podem evitar a transição para obesidade adulta e suas consequências, como doenças crônicas e piora da qualidade de vida. A revisão destaca que, embora fatores genéticos sejam imutáveis, intervenções ambientais e comportamentais são eficazes na prevenção da obesidade. Estratégias escolares, regulamentação de marketing de alimentos e suporte psicológico são medidas promissoras. Contudo, barreiras como a influência da publicidade e o estigma social dificultam os avanços. Abordagens integradas e políticas públicas mais rigorosas são necessárias para combater a obesidade infantil de forma abrangente. A obesidade infantil impacta negativamente a saúde física, emocional e social das crianças, exigindo medidas multidimensionais para prevenção e tratamento. Investir em educação alimentar, incentivo à atividade física e regulamentações para alimentos não saudáveis são fundamentais para reduzir a prevalência e os efeitos dessa condição, promovendo qualidade de vida e saúde para as futuras gerações.

Published: December 2024

Os cuidados paliativos são uma abordagem integral que visa proporcionar conforto e qualidade de vida a pacientes com doenças graves e sem possibilidade de cura. No Brasil, a Política Nacional de Cuidados Paliativos (PNCP) estabelece diretrizes para a implementação dessa prática no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), com ênfase na formação de equipes multidisciplinares qualificadas. No entanto, a literatura aponta lacunas significativas na formação acadêmica dos profissionais de enfermagem, especialmente em relação à preparação para atuar nos cuidados paliativos. Este estudo investiga as percepções de estudantes e profissionais de enfermagem sobre sua formação em cuidados paliativos, destacando a insuficiência de conteúdo teórico e a falta de experiências práticas nos currículos de graduação. A pesquisa também discute o papel do Conselho Federal de Enfermagem (COFEN) na regulamentação da prática e as implicações das normativas como a Resolução COFEN nº 389/2011 e a Portaria nº 2.930/2011. A conclusão aponta para a necessidade de uma abordagem mais integrada e interdisciplinar, com a inclusão de cuidados paliativos nos currículos e a promoção de formação continuada, além de destacar a importância de políticas públicas que incentivem a implementação de equipes multidisciplinares.

Race Against Time: How Bus Transport Stacks Up Against Private Cars
Authors: Hanusik Andrzej
Published: December 2024

This paper compares the IVT (in-vehicle time) parameter and travel distance for public bus transport (which forms the core of the public transport system) and private cars in the Metropolis GZM (Upper Silesian and Zagłębie Metropolis) in Poland. Analysis was conducted on three datasets: all metropolitan lines, main metropolitan lines, and feeder metropolitan lines. The results show that for all metropolitan lines, public transport achieves an average IVT parameter value about twice as high as private transport. The main metropolitan lines are characterized by relatively high competitiveness compared to individual transport. However, the competitiveness of public transport decreases with distance traveled. It is also important to note that these lines primarily connect major points in the city and other factors can significantly affect its competitiveness, such as waiting time and overcrowding during peak hours. This article is directed towards decision-makers in urban transport management, urban activists, public transport passengers, city authorities, and scientists interested in urban logistics and the effectiveness of public transport.

The neglected role of social comparisons in acculturation: Considering the integration paradox
Authors: Verkuyten Maykel
Published: December 2024

The aim of this contribution is to further develop and advance acculturation theory and research by discussing the largely neglected role of social comparison processes. Social comparison is a ubiquitous process that plays a central role in several theories, such as social identity theory, equity theory and relative deprivation theory, and can determine perceptions of discrimination, feelings of entitlement, and acculturation strategies and adaptations. The importance of social comparisons is first discussed in relation to the research on the integration paradox, which finds that higher, compared to lower, educated immigrants tend to perceive more discrimination and distance themselves more strongly from the country of settlement. This research draws attention to perceptions of relative deprivation and the structural aspects of acculturation. Subsequently, the potential of considering comparison processes for examining and understanding acculturation variation across aspects (e.g., behavior, values, identity), life domain (e.g., politics, work, family), and situational context (e.g., assimilative, multicultural) is discussed. Furthermore, the implications of social comparisons for assessing and measuring acculturation strategies and adaptations will be considered. It is concluded that acculturation research will benefit from more systematically considering the various comparison processes in which individuals and groups can engage when coming into intercultural contact.
An optimality criterion for disjoint bilinear programming and its application to the problem with an acute-angled polytope for a disjoint subset
Authors: Lozovanu Dmitrii
Published: December 2024

We formulate and prove an optimality criterion for the disjoint bilinear programming problem and show how it can be efficiently used for solving the problem when one of the disjoint subsets has the structure of an acute-angled polytope. A class of integer and combinatorial problems that can be reduced to the disjoint bilinear programming problem with an acute-angled polytope is presented and it is shown how the considered optimality criterion can be applied.
Asymptotic behaviour of non-autonomous Caputo fractional differential equations with a one-sided dissipative vector field
Authors: Doan T. S. , Kloeden P. E.
Published: December 2024

A non-autonomous Caputo fractional differential equation of order α ∈ (0, 1) in Rd with a driving system {ϑt}t∈R on a compact base space P generates a skew-product flow on Cα × P, where Cα is the space of continuous functions f : R+ → Rd with a weighted norm giving uniform convergence on compact time subsets. It was shown by Cui & Kloeden [3] to have an attractor when the vector field of the Caputo FDE satisfies a uniform dissipative vector field. This attractor is closed, bounded and invariant in Cα × P and attracts bounded subsets of Cα consisting of constant initial functions. The structure of this attractor is investigated here in detail for an example with a vector field satisfying a stronger one-sided dissipative Lipschitz condition. In particular, the component sets of the attractor are shown to be singleton sets corresponding to a unique entire solution of the skew-product flow. Its evaluation on Rd is a unique entire solution of the Caputo FDE, which is both pullback and forward attracting.

Published: December 2024

Aims: To study the phenotypic correlation between growth and reproductive traits in layer chicken.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out in Poultry Research Farm, Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana, India, between 2019-2021.
Methodology: In this study, 450 crossbred layer chickens were selected from three distinct genetic groups: Desi Cross 1, Desi Cross 2, and Punjab Red at the Poultry Research Farm of the Directorate of Livestock Farms at Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana. Data collection occurred between 2020 and 2021, focusing on several economically important traits. These included body weight at sexual maturity (BWSM; g), age at sexual maturity (ASM; days), weight of the first egg (FEW; g), egg production at the 40th weeks and 52nd weeks (EP; number) and egg weight at the 40th weeks and 52nd weeks (EW; g). Additionally, weekly body weights were recorded from day 0th to the 20th and 40th weeks (BW; g).
Results: The highest coefficient of variation (CV; %) for body weight was observed at the 4th week, while the lowest CV was recorded at the 0th week. Among reproductive traits, the average age at sexual maturity (ASM) was 165.61 ± 0.81 days, with a CV of 14.05%. The egg production at the 40th and 52nd weeks displayed the greatest variability, whereas egg weight at these weeks showed relatively low variation. The first egg weight exhibited moderate variability, with a CV of 13.29%. Meanwhile, the body weight at sexual maturity had a CV of 19.97%, reflecting a moderate level of variation for this trait. The phenotypic correlations among these traits were estimated using the WOMBAT software. The analysis revealed highly significant phenotypic correlations between body weight at 1st week and egg production at 40th week, as well as first egg weight. Similarly, significant correlations were observed between body weight at 2nd weeks and egg weight at 40th weeks, body weight at 3rd weeks and first egg weight, body weight at 10th weeks and egg production at 52nd weeks, and body weight at 14th weeks and egg weight at 40th weeks.
Conclusion: Overall, the present study suggests that while body weight traits demonstrate relative consistency in growth patterns, reproductive traits, particularly egg production, show greater variability and thus offer more opportunities for genetic improvement. Selective breeding efforts should be focused on reducing variability in key traits such as EP40 and EP52 to enhance overall productivity in layer chickens. Moreover, this study highlights the significant phenotypic relationships between growth and reproductive traits in layer chicken populations.

La pesca es una de las principales actividades económicas en el río Putumayo, a pesar de la poca información biológica generada de las especies explotadas. El objetivo fue caracterizar la biología reproductiva de Hypophthalmus edentatus y Brycon amazonicus en la cuenca media del río Putumayo (Loreto-Perú). Se capturaron 192 especímenes de H. edentatus, de longitud y peso promedio de 34,35 cm y 175,9 g respectivamente, y 152 especímenes de B. amazonicus, con longitud y peso promedio de 30,73 y 175,9 ± 40,6 g, respectivamente. Estos ejemplares fueron colectados entre noviembre de 2020 y octubre de 2021 en el puerto pesquero y el mercado municipal de El Estrecho y mediante pesca exploratoria. La talla de primera madurez sexual (L50) de H. edentatus fue de 26,5 y 28,3 cm de longitud estándar (LE) e índice gonadosomático (IGS) máximo de 1,6% y 0,6%, para hembras y machos, respectivamente. Para la especie B. amazonicus la L50 fue de 25,1 cm y 24,8 cm de LE y IGS máximo de 6.9% y 1,09% E para hembras y machos, respectivamente. Para ambas especies la proporción sexual promedio fue de 2:1 (hembras: machos). A partir de estos resultados se recomienda implementar estrategias efectivas para la conservación de ambas especies.

Published: December 2024

Introdução: A limitada abordagem da saúde da população LGBTQIA+ no currículo de uma tradicional faculdade de medicina em São Paulo mobilizou cinco graduandos a fundarem a Liga Acadêmica de Saúde da População LGBTQIA+. Essa entidade estudantil aprofunda a pesquisa e promove projetos que integram os acadêmicos à sociedade, conectando teoria à prática profissional.  Objetivo: Esse relato descreve o estabelecimento da Liga, desde a identificação da sua necessidade até os seus primeiros resultados. Métodos: Os eventos do processo de implementação foram descritos cronologicamente. A avaliação da Liga pelos participantes foi através de uma plataforma eletrônica com 14 perguntas sobre a qualidade das atividades e a análise do engajamento à Liga foi via listas de presença. Adicionalmente, foram pesquisadas quantas faculdades de medicina no Estado de São Paulo (SP) possuem uma liga acadêmica de foco semelhante, avaliando o pioneirismo da Liga. Resultados: Foram realizadas oito aulas sobre saúde LGBTQIA+, consideradas com “boa” qualidade por todos os 12 respondentes do formulário. Contudo, o engajamento foi abaixo do esperado. Ainda, a Liga demonstra caráter pioneiro, visto que apenas 12,3% das faculdades de medicina em SP têm ligas de foco semelhante. Conclusão: A Liga tem se consolidado como um ambiente de estudo e acolhimento aos seus participantes. Futuramente, visa-se implementar projetos de extensão no Centro de Referência da Diversidade (CRD) e no Ambulatório de Saúde Integral da Pessoa Trans (ASIPT) do Centro de Saúde Escola da Barra Funda, capacitando futuros profissionais da saúde a compreender  às demandas e às vivências da população LGBTQIA +.
Grupos Reflexivos de Gênero para homens como estratégia de enfrentamento às violências contra as mulheres:
Authors: Ferreira Edla Maria Batista , Jayme Juliana Gonzaga
Published: December 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir os grupos reflexivos de gênero para homens representados judicialmente no âmbito da lei 11.340/2006 (Lei Maria da Penha), como estratégia de enfrentamento às violências contra as mulheres, a partir de pesquisa de Mestrado realizada em 2022 e 2023, que se valeu de análise documental, observação sistemática e entrevistas semiestruturadas individuais com profissionais da 1ª Vara Especial de Violência Doméstica e Familiar contra as mulheres de São Luís do Maranhão e com homens que participaram dos grupos realizados por esta Vara entre 2018 e 2023. Foram analisadas as representações sociais desses homens sobre relações de gênero, masculinidades e violência contra as mulheres no contexto doméstico e familiar, após participarem dos grupos reflexivos e as repercussões dessa experiência nas suas vidas, além das representações das/os profissionais sobre o trabalho realizado. Resultados: identificou-se que a participação dos homens nos grupos reflexivos repercute em mudanças nas representações sobre violência de gênero e em baixos níveis de reincidência em relação a novas ocorrências de retorno ao sistema de justiça, promovendo reflexos nas ações cotidianas, em diversas áreas da vida dos participantes. Existem desafios para a consolidação dos trabalhos com os grupos reflexivos, como a ampliação das equipes de facilitação, espaço físico adequado, formação continuada, supervisão e suporte, havendo esforços para consolidar uma política de Estado voltada às intervenções grupais com homens autores de violência e avançar na estruturação e qualificação dessa estratégia de intervenção no âmbito do sistema de justiça.
Ökonomischer und technologischer Determinismus sind zwei Seiten derselben Medaille Technik-Ethik aus der Perspektive der integrativen Wirtschaftsethik
Authors: Busch Thorsten , Lorch Alexander
Published: December 2024

Dieser Beitrag verwendet die Perspektive der integrativen Wirtschaftsethik, um die Wechselwirkung von ökonomischem und technologischem Determinismus kritisch zu analysieren. Es wird der Versuch unternommen, zu zeigen, dass diese Perspektive eine umfassende Sicht auf Debatten um die Entwicklung von Technologie und damit verbundene, vermeintlich ›rein‹ technologische, Probleme bietet. Zudem erlaubt sie es, einige blinde Flecken der Technikethik in Bezug auf Wirtschaftsethik zu vermeiden und Phänomene wie AI-Hype und FOMO (fear of missing out) zu kontextualisieren. Zur Verdeutlichung wird kurz auf Fallbeispiele aus den Bereichen künstliche Intelligenz (AI) und smart cities eingegangen.
How Much Consideration Is Reasonable in the Economy? The Ethical Consequences of Underestimating Third-Party Co-operation
Authors: Hirata Johannes , Schank Christoph
Published: December 2024

Der Integrativen Wirtschaftsethik kommt das Verdienst zu, vermeintliche ökonomische Sachzwänge als normative Fragen der Zumutbarkeit zu entlarven, die in einem deliberativen Diskurs zu beurteilen sind. Ob eine bestimmte moralische Forderung einem Akteur zugemutet werden kann, ist oft auch von den Reaktionen machtvoller Dritter abhängig, da diese mit darüber entscheiden, welche Nachteile dem Akteur aus einer entsprechenden Haltung entstehen werden. Somit spielen Annahmen über die Bereitschaft machtvoller Dritter zur Selbstbegrenzung eine bedeutende Rolle für die Beurteilung von Zumutbarkeit. In unserem Beitrag zeigen wir mit Verweis auf umfassende empirische Belege, dass die Bereitschaft zur Kooperation und Selbstbegrenzung von Menschen systematisch unterschätzt wird, so dass es in der Wirtschaft regelmäßig zu einer problematischen moralischen Unterforderung von Wirtschaftsakteuren kommen dürfte.
Next Generation Funds and Budget Conditionality: The Structural Harmonisation of Criminal Law
Authors: Selvaggi Nicola
Published: December 2024

The article aims at providing an insight into the reforms outlined within the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan, with a view to showing that they differ from past legislative changes and signal an overall shift in approach (and mindset), for several reasons identifiable in the European context in which the Plan was developed (§ II), in its specific contents aimed at modernising the judicial system (§ III), and in the procedural rules that it imposes for the planning, evaluation and monitoring of legislation (§ IV). While to some observers the reformist spirit driving its steps within the framework of the National Plan has seemed to clash with more traditional and familiar views of criminal law, the analysis demonstrates that the framework of interventions designed and underway within the Italian Plan does not represent a departure from the principles that govern the criminal justice system.
Spinoza et Hume sur le miracle et le témoignage
Authors: Rozenberg Jacques J. ,   Gnomon Center for the Humanities
Published: December 2024

Spinoza’s Tractatus Theologico-Politicus (TTP), published in 1670, shook all Judeo-Christian values, challenging all national and religious peculiarities. He thus undermined the foundations of traditional beliefs, notably by attacking the notion of miracle. Even if the author of the Ethics is only mentioned in the Treatise on Human Nature, and the philosophies of Spinoza and Hume sometimes appear to be antithetical, they nevertheless present several points of convergence. We will try to clarify them in relation to the question of the miracle. We will approach the Humean procedure, using the Bayses theorem, and we will finally examine the epistemological status of testimonial knowledge.
