Uloga logike i argumentacije u teološkim tekstovima
Authors: Skelac Ines , Džinić Marija
Published: January 2025

U radu se analiziraju specifičnosti argumentacije u teološkim tekstovima s naglaskom na važnost logičke konzistentnosti, utemeljenosti na autoritativnim izvorima vjere i prepoznavanje granica crkvenih dogmi, odnosno zadanih, objavljenih i definiranih istina. Ispituje se kako se teološka argumentacija koja se oslanja na Tradiciju i svete spise može strukturirati na način koji zadovoljava kriterije logičkog zaključivanja i znanstvene preciznosti. Posebna pažnja posvećena je razlikovanju onoga što čini dogmatsku osnovu teologije od spekulativnih teoloških refleksija s naglaskom na važnost i preciznost takva razlikovanja za precizno razumijevanje teoloških tvrdnji. Kao model za analizu načina na koji teolozi integriraju crkvene autoritete s logičkom argumentacijom, zadržavajući pritom jasnoću i dosljednost, poslužio je tekst Karla Rahnera, jednoga od najutjecajnijih teologa 20. stoljeća. Rad ukazuje na važnost dobro argumentiranih teoloških tekstova kao neizostavnog elementa za obranu teologije kao racionalne discipline te otvara put daljnjim istraživanjima teološke metodologije i strukture argumentacije.
O movimento feminista pela paz: uma análise da atuação prática das mulheres nos processos de construção da paz
Authors: Da Rocha de Medeiros Dantas Stela
Published: January 2025

Na análise do sistema internacional, narrativas mainstreams dominam os diferentes campos de estudo. Dentre as diferentes narrativas que compõem esse cenário, uma delas é a da ausência feminina. Contudo, a partir de um estudo mais detalhado, percebe-se que é histórica a presença feminina na paz e na segurança internacional.  Todavia, em decorrência da estrutura social que privilegia representação do masculino, a presença das mulheres acabou sendo estereotipada e invisibilizada. Assim, com base nesse entendimento, torna-se essencial evidenciar as mulheres e as suas diferentes experiências ao longo dos diferentes processos históricos das relações internacionais, com o objetivo de romper os estereótipos e as falsas dicotomias criadas socialmente, como, por exemplo, a relação da mulher com os movimentos e processos de paz. Assim, o presente trabalho tem como finalidade analisar a atuação das mulheres nos processos de construção da paz, bem como responder a pergunta de pesquisa: “a presença de mulheres muda a forma de condução dos processos de paz?”. Para isso, será feito um estudo qualitativo, com base em uma revisão bibliográfica desenvolvida por autoras e teóricas especialistas da área. Assim, a partir do que for apresentado, percebe-se que as mulheres apresentam diferentes formas na condução dos processos de paz, na tentativa de atingir a paz e a justiça social por meio de uma visão ampla e multidimensional.

Contexto: los tumores neuroendocrinos (TNE) intestinales se desarrollan a partir de células especializadas del sistema endocrino difuso y pueden tener la capacidad de liberar, de manera excesiva, serotonina y otros péptidos vasoactivos, ocasionando síntomas que en conjunto se denominan síndrome carcinoide. Los TNE intestinales son heterogéneos en su biología y en su curso clínico, por lo que su diagnóstico histopatológico ofrece retos para los patólogos y las imágenes que se requieren para la estadificación y el seguimiento tienen particularidades técnicas, sumado a una disponibilidad limitada de algunas de ellas. Además, por su baja incidencia, se disminuyen las posibilidades de sospecha clínica en centros de atención primaria, ocasionando a menudo un retraso en el diagnóstico. Todos estos factores hacen que la ruta para el diagnóstico y las decisiones sobre el tratamiento sean complejas.
Objetivo: definir los criterios para el diagnóstico, tratamiento y seguimiento de los pacientes con TNE intestinales secretores en Colombia.
Metodología: se realizó un consenso tipo Delphi modificado. Para ello, se escogió un panel de médicos colombianos, expertos en el manejo de las neoplasias neuroendocrinas, donde los resultados fueron analizados y discutidos y, a partir de la consecución de consensos, se resumieron las conclusiones de las recomendaciones en los diferentes aspectos relacionados con los TNE intestinales secretores.
Resultados: se obtuvieron recomendaciones para el abordaje del paciente con TNE intestinales y síndrome carcinoide en Colombia, incluyendo la sospecha clínica, el diagnóstico, el tratamiento y el seguimiento.
Conclusiones: en Colombia, es importante disminuir la variabilidad en la práctica clínica diaria, así como fortalecer el conocimiento del personal médico, desde el escenario de atención primaria hasta la atención de mayor nivel, respecto al diagnóstico, tratamiento y seguimiento de pacientes con TNE intestinales y síndrome carcinoide, con el objetivo de brindar un manejo oportuno y adecuado de la enfermedad.

Authors: Can Fatih İlker , Gültaç Emre , Kılınç Rabia Mihriban , Kılınç Cem Yalın
Published: January 2025

Aim: This study aimed to examine the effect of cable cerclage on reduction quality and union time in patients treated with cephalomedullary nails for subtrochanteric fractures.
Materials and Methods: 75 closed subtrochanteric fractures treated with cephalomedullary nails by two different surgeons with at least 10 months of follow-up were included in the study. Patients operated by Surgeon 1 were grouped as Group 1 (closed cephalomedullary nailing without cables, n=43), patients operated by Surgeon 2 with 1-2 cables as Group 2 (n=20), and those operated with 3-4 cables were grouped as Group 3 (open cephalomedullary nailing + cable fixation, n=12). Postoperative radiographs were evaluated for the presence of cables, the number of cables used, deformity, the residual gap between the fracture ends, and the union time.
Results: The cable fixation rate was calculated as 42.6%. There was a statistically significant relationship between cable use and the amount of gap (p=0.033). The average gap was 3.97 mm in patients without cables, 0.65 mm in patients with 1-2 cables, and 0.66 mm in patients with 3-4 cables. A positive correlation was found between the amount of gap and the time to union (Spearman's rho= 0.468, p=0.001). A statistically significant difference was found between Group 1 and Group 2 and also between Group 1 and Group 3 regarding the union time (p=0.007, p=0.001, respectively). The mean time to union was determined as 7.3 months in Group 1, 5.4 months in Group 2, and 5.7 months in Group 3.
Conclusion: Reducing the gap in the fracture line by using cables provides a better reduction, stability, and a shorter union time than fixation without a cable in subtrochanteric fractures treated with cephalomedullary nailing.

The effect of company size, profitability, and intangible assets on transfer pricing aggressiveness in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia and Singapore stock exchange
Authors: Hadwimantoro Hadwimantoro , Sari Diana
Published: January 2025

This research investigates the impact of firm size, profitability, and intangible assets on the aggressiveness of transfer pricing in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and the Singapore Exchange (SGX). Employing a quantitative descriptive method, the study applies panel data regression analysis to examine the proposed hypotheses. A purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample of 13 energy companies listed on both the IDX and SGX during the 2017–2022 period. The data, spanning six years and comprising 78 observations, were sourced from the annual financial statements published by these companies. Analysis was conducted using eViews12 software. The results indicate that firm size negatively and significantly influences transfer pricing aggressiveness, with larger firms engaging less in aggressive transfer pricing. Meanwhile, profitability has no significant effect, suggesting that financial performance does not necessarily drive firms to engage in aggressive transfer pricing. Conversely, intangible assets positively and significantly impact transfer pricing aggressiveness, showing that firms with higher intangible assets tend to be more aggressive. This study provides empirical evidence on transfer pricing behavior in the energy sector under two different regulatory frameworks, offering insights for regulators and policymakers to monitor companies with substantial intangible assets.

The capacity of agricultural production stands essential for rural economic development especially in developing territories that rely principally on farmland for their main sources of income. Agriculture forms a significant economic block in India which directly affects national socio-economic progress. The Indian agricultural district Guntur District stands as a central agricultural center inside the state of Andhra Pradesh. Principally the district dedicates its land toward growing chili along with tobacco and cotton crops together with various vegetables. Multiple stability issues affect agricultural productivity in the region through changes to climate conditions and economic limitations and policy decisions and technological constraints. This research investigates the growth patterns of agricultural productivity in Guntur District as well as its instability-causing elements. This study combines qualitative and quantitative approaches for examining historical and contemporary agricultural development in the selected region.

The research explores multiple elements that impact agricultural production alongside weather conditions and state governance decisions and technological advancements. The analysis examines the complex relationship between environmental conditions and funding and their combined impact on farmers' economic position and societal standing in Guntur District. The analysis demonstrates how agricultural instability affects local farmers through socio-economic assessments which emphasize adaptive measures for managing uncertain production risks.

This research utilizes official government data combined with agriculture survey results alongside direct farmer and agricultural expert interviews to reveal major agricultural output stabilization patterns and crop amount and market price movements. Research outcomes indicate substantial productivity growth along with substantial external and internal volatility factors that affect overall productivity levels. Based on the findings the research presents suggestions which guide policy-makers and agricultural institutions together with farmers to build resilient agricultural systems that resist climate change and market instability.

Gallstone ileus: A case report
Authors: Batubara Immanuel Van Donn , Lesmana Tomy
Published: January 2025

Gallstone ileus is a condition where there is a mechanical obstruction of the intestinal lumen caused by gallstones and is a rare complication of cholelithiasis. The prevalence of gallstone ileus is approximately 5% of all patients with intestinal obstruction. We present a female patient with intestinal obstruction caused by gallstone ileus who was treated with laparotomy enterolithotomy for gallstone evacuation. A 64-year-old female patient came to the Emergency Department of Dr. Soetomo Surabaya Hospital with complaints of nausea and vomiting after eating and drinking. The patient reported not being able to defecate for 5 days, followed by an inability to pass gas, with the last instance of flatulence occurring 1 day before entering the hospital. The patient was planned for laparotomy enterolithotomy to evacuate gallstones. The pathophysiology of gallstone ileus involves the obstruction of the intestines due to the impaction of one or more gallstones. This condition is commonly preceded by the initial symptoms of acute cholecystitis. The primary objective in managing gallstone ileus is to alleviate the intestinal obstruction by extracting the gallstone from the intestinal lumen. The author believes that in this case report, enterolithotomy was performed as it has a lower mortality and morbidity rate compared to a single-stage procedure.
SCREENING AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PESTICIDE – MICROBE DYNAMICS FROM PHYLLOSPHERE OF OKRA AND EGGPLANT
Authors: Chaudhary Shifa , Singha Dhiraj , Bhat Binu , Sharda Shivani
Published: January 2025

Agroecosystems and phyllosphere microbiomes can be the potential indicators of differential segregation expected for organic and pesticide-sprayed fields. The pesticide interaction with the niche phyllosphere microbiota would serve to convey the characteristic role of the phyllosphere in biomass changes, degradation profiling, and approximation of the synthetic residues contributing towards further complexation with soil microbiome. We present the effects of differential spraying of Chlorpyrifos and Cypermethrin pesticides on the phyllosphere of Okra and Eggplant compared with control plants. Highly sensitive and discrete analysis using GC-MS and microbial enrichment followed by 16s RNA identification were conducted to report the overall biochemical and molecular quantifications on the selected plants. GC-MS studies indicate the rate at which pesticides dissipate from plants over time. In our study, dissipation was followed for 10 and 16 days, where chlorpyrifos disappeared by 95% after 16 days in okra plants, while it disappeared by 92% after 10 days in eggplants. Similarly, after 16 days, cypermethrin vanished completely from okra and it had reduced by 89% after 10 days from eggplant. The prolonged periods of pesticide dissipation indicating danger to both humans and animals led researchers to investigate the role of bacteria from polluted surfaces in accelerating the breakdown of pesticides as these are difficult to break down naturally. Scientific studies evidently configure that in contrast to plants not exposed to pesticides, bacterial proliferation on plants exposed to pesticides is enhanced. Our study design implies pesticide – microbe dynamics with survival strategies employing pesticides for their growth on plant phyllosphere.

Smoking bans: a bandwagon effect?

In the near future, the Dutch government intends to change the rules relating to smoking bans in the hospitality industry again. After a complete ban, coming into force in July 2008, and introducing an exception for small bars in June 2011, the complete ban will return this year. This article describes the law regarding smoking bans in the Netherlands, and reports along researches of the relevant authority and a commercial research institute the effectiveness of the bans. From these findings it becomes clear that the hospitality industry did a good job in complying with the bans. But there is one exception: small bars. Next we explain, based on the ideas of Kagan and Skolnick and Elias the effectiveness of smoking bans.

Public and private initiatives in adaptation to climate change

Adaptation to climate change is a challenge for both the public and the private sector. The legitimacy of initiatives from the side of the public sector is analyzed by means of the concept of market failure. This implies an economics oriented definition of legitimacy. This analytical framework is applied to climate related themes such as floods, low water, draught, storms and heat stress. Special attention is paid to the possibility to stimulate the involvement of the private sector by means of financial incentives.

Climate robustness as a spatial and societal challenge. Building blocks for legitimate adaptation strategies

The problem of climate change is high on the various political-administrative agendas, both national and international. At the same time the problem is full of uncertainties and controversies. Adaptation to climate change asks for adjustments in our spatial planning, but can also necessitate changes in the distribution of public and private responsibilities. A crucial question is how the legitimacy of adaptation measures can be organized in a context surrounded with uncertainties, controversies and conflicting interests. In this paper we introduce the central theme of this special issue and the various contributions.

Financing climate adaptation. Arrangements for balancing profits and expenses

The extent to which the implementation of adaptation strategies is effective is determined by the availability of suitable financial instruments. The Dutch spatial planning system consists of several instruments for financing and implementing spatial development plans. The central question of this article is: which insights from the present financing system could be relevant for an effective and legitimate climate adaptation policy in the near future?

Social isolation and anxiety: The popularity of PVV on neighbourhood level during the municipal election in The Hague in 2010

This paper investigates the causal relationship between neighbourhood characteristics and the popularity of the political party 'Partij voor de Vrijheid (PVV)' during the municipal elections in The Hague on March 3rd 2010. The party, founded and led by Geert Wilders, also operates on the national level and can be characterized as anti-immigration and anti-establishment. During the municipal elections, it received support in different types of neighbourhoods, such as white working class areas from the early and mid 20th century, postwar housing estates, and brand new suburban neighbourhood on the city's periphery. Our analyses point to several neighbourhood characteristics which prove decisive in explaining PVV support. These characteristics are: the presence of older autochthonous Dutch (55 years and older), the presence of autochthonous families with children, a balanced mix between native Dutch and non-Western immigrant residents, and few high income households. These findings support the theoretical explanation of anxiety and insecurity among lower middle classes in an age of globalisation, crises and state retreat. In addition, they also point to dissatisfaction among older and less-mobile residents of rapidly changing inner-city neighbourhoods, who are become more socially isolated as their local social networks are diminishing. The paper concludes with a reflection on current urban policies which are unable to tackle dissatisfaction.

‘Hunkering down’ in multi-ethnic neighbourhoods? The effects of ethnic diversity on dimensions of social cohesion

Putnam (2007) claims that in ethnically diverse neighbourhoods, residents of all ethnic groups tend to ‘hunker down’. Solidarity and trust are lower, mutual help and cooperation rarer, friends fewer. Various studies in the United States found a clear correlation between diversity and cohesion, and also for many different dimensions of social cohesion. Whether this finding also holds in other (European) settings is the subject of hot and unresolved debate. Specifically, this article addresses the question whether living in an ethnically diverse setting has negative consequences for social cohesion in the Netherlands as well. To further the debate, this article pulls apart various contexts and various dimensions of social cohesion. This article examines the relationship between ethnic diversity (in socio-graphically defined neighbourhoods) and four dimensions of social cohesion (trust, informal help, voluntary work and neighbourhood contacts) for the 50 largest cities in the Netherlands. We conclude that the Putnam hypothesis holds only to a limited extent in the Dutch context. The only aspect on which ethnic diversity has a negative effect is the degree of contact in the neighbourhood.

Deterioration of quality in mental health care; Professionals about marketization

In order to facilitate the creation of a regulated market, Diagnostic Treatment Combinations (DBC’s in Dutch) have been introduced in Dutch mental health care in 2008. DBC’s are developed to distinguish and price the ‘products’ of health care, in order to make comparison and competition between health care providers possible. In this qualitative study we analyzed mental health care professionals experiences with the DBC-system. We focused on two questions: (1) what does the DBC-system and the related introduction of marketization of mental health care mean for professionals? and (2) how do professionals cope with the DBC-system in their daily practices? We found that the logics of the market and bureaucracy, both incorporated in the DBC-system, often conflicted with the values and ethics of mental health care professionals. Mental health professionals experience deterioration of professionalism and quality of care. They were coping with conflicting values by non-compliance with rules and pragmatic use of the DBC-system. It is argued that the efforts of professionals to protect the quality of their work might actually lead to invisibility of the problems they encounter, which reinforces the policy they criticize.

In their book Diploma Democracy Mark Bovens and Anchrit Wille state that positions in the field of politics are dominantly held by people with higher levels of education. Because of diverging political preferences between citizens with a higher level of education and those with a lower one this results in a lack of representation of the latter, they argue. Karsten replies to this position from a perspective of educational theory.
