The effect of exercising in different environments on heart rate and power output among older adults–a randomized crossover study
Authors: Ahnesjö Jonas , Karlsson Peter S. , Bergman Patrick
Published: November 2022

Background

A growing body of evidence suggests that exposure to nature is beneficial for human health. However, the observed health effect of nature may be mediated by physical activity and that humans are physically active at a higher intensity outdoors compared to when they are physical active indoors.

Objective

This study examines the variation of heart rate and power output for a fixed rating of perceived exertion in a group of healthy older adults in three different environments representing three levels of exposure to nature.

Methods

To this randomized, 3-by-3 crossover design study, healthy older adults (≥65 years) were recruited from local gyms. All participants participated in three experimental conditions; indoors, simulated outdoors and outdoor environments, in a randomized order. The participants exercised for 20 minutes at an intensity equivalent to a rating of 11–13 on the Borg scale for perceived exertion (RPE). Measurements of heart rate, power output (Watt) and ratings of perceived exertion were taken at minutes 1 to 6 and at minute 20. To examine the effect of the environment on heart rate and power, linear mixed models were used.

Results

In all, 48 participants (56% females) were included in the analysis. No significant main effects on the outcomes were observed for power output (p = 0.073, η2= 0.04) or heart rate (p = 0.067, η2= 0.04)

Conclusion

No significant effect on the outcomes was observed. However, borderline significant outcomes for power output or heart rate outdoors in nature, along with previous studies in the field, indicates that such an effect cannot be completely ruled out, but any effect is likely to be small. Future research examining health benefits of the independent exposure to nature are encouraged to adjust for the dose of physical activity.

Authors: Kontro Titta K. , Bondarev Dmitriy , Pyykönen Kukka-Maaria , von Bonsdorff Mikaela , Laakso Lauri , Suominen Harri , Korhonen Marko T.
Published: November 2022

Objectives

Masters athletes due to their lifelong engagement in sport represent a unique group to study motivation for regular physical activity, but there is less scientific data on the sport motives in masters athletes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the association of age, sex, education, nationality, competitive background and training amount with sport motives of masters track and field athletes.

Methods

811 (254 women) athletes aged 35–89 years participated in European Veterans Athletics Championships in the year of 2000. Sport motives were assessed with a questionnaire and categorized into1) well-being, 2) competitive and performance 3) health and fitness motives.

Results

Men considered health and fitness motives more important than women (p = 0.022). Over 65-year-old athletes considered health and fitness motives more important than the youngest, 35-49-year age group (p<0.001). Education was not associated with sport motives, while motives varied significantly among different nationalities. Athletes from Nordic Countries considered well-being motives more important than Southern Europeans (p<0.001) or Western Europeans (p<0.05). Athletes from Nordic Countries (p = 0.003), Eastern Europe (p<0.001) and Central Europe (p<0.001) found health and fitness motives more meaningful than athletes from the British Isles. Furthermore, athletes with competitive background before the age of 35 and training amount more than 7.5 h a week found competitive and performance motives more important than athletes without a competitive history (p = 0.002).

Conclusions

These results suggest that age, sex, nationality and former athleticism are associated with sports motives among international level masters track and field athletes. It seems that while for masters athletes with competitive background performance motives dominate, for older adults, particularly for males, health and fitness motives are more important. In addition, when designing the exercise interventions for older adults, different sport motives across countries should be considered.
Actionable tests and treatments for patients with gastrointestinal cancers and historically short median survival times
Authors: Bruckner Howard W. , Bassali Fred , Dusowitz Elisheva , Gurell Daniel , Book Abe , De Jager Robert
Published: November 2022

Background

Patients have difficult unmet needs when standard chemotherapy produces a median survival of less than 1 year or many patients will experience severe toxicities. Blood tests can predict their survival.

Methods

Analyses evaluate predictive blood tests to identify patients who often survive 1 and 2 years. A four-test model includes: albumin, absolute neutrophil count, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio. Individual tests include: alkaline phosphatase, lymphocytes, white blood count, platelet count, and hemoglobin. Eligible patients have advanced: resistant 3rd line colorectal, and both resistant and new pancreatic and intrahepatic bile duct cancers. Eligibility characteristics include: biopsy-proven, measurable metastatic disease, NCI grade 0–2 blood tests, Karnofsky Score 100–50, and any adult age. Drugs are given at 1/4–1/3 of their standard dosages biweekly: gemcitabine, irinotecan, fluorouracil, leucovorin, and day 2 oxaliplatin every 2 weeks. In case of progression, Docetaxel is added (except colon cancer), with or without Mitomycin C, and next cetuximab (except pancreatic and KRAS BRAF mutation cancers). Bevacizumab is substituted for cetuximab in case of another progression or ineligibility. Consent was written and conforms with Helsinki, IRB, and FDA criteria (FDA #119005).

Results

Median survival is 14.5 months. Of 205 patients, 60% survive 12, and 37% survive 24 months (95% CI ± 8%). Survival is > 24, 13, and 3.8 months for patients with 0, 1–2, and 3–4 unfavorable tests, respectively. Individual “favorable and unfavorable” tests predict long and short survival. Neither age nor prior therapy discernibly affects survival. Net rates of clinically significant toxicities are less than 5%.

Conclusion

Treatments reproduce predictable, greater than 12 and 24-month chances of survival for the aged and for patients with drug-resistant tumors. Evaluation of blood tests may change practice, expand eligibility, and personalize treatments. Findings support investigation of drug combinations and novel dosages to reverse resistance and improve safety.

Published: November 2022

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the push-out bond strength of AH Plus sealer to dentin treated with the essential oils of Cumimum cyminum and Cinnamomum zeylanicum as herbal final irrigants. Forty human mandibular first premolars were selected. After smear layer removal, the samples were divided into 4 groups and irrigated with experimental solutions for 1 min and later with distilled water. G1: Cinnamomum zeylanicum (CZ) in minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC); G2: Sodium hypochlorite 2.5%; G3: Sodium hypochlorite in MIC; G4: Cuminum cyminum (CC) in MIC. After obturation, the roots were sectioned in order to obtain 1-mm discs for push-out assessment. The push-out test was performed using a universal testing machine. The slices were examined using a stereomicroscope at 30× to determine the mode of failure. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s post-hoc test. The teeth irrigated with CZ showed significantly lower push-out resistance than those irrigated with NaOCl 2.5% and NaOCl at MIC. The other groups had no significant difference. The modes of failure were predominantly mixed. Under the limitations of the present study, CC does not have adverse effects on the bond strength of AH Plus and can be used as a good alternative for currently used final irrigants.
Patient-reported experiences and outcomes following hospital care are associated with risk of readmission among adults with chronic health conditions
Authors: Watson Diane E. , Marashi-Pour Sadaf , Tran Bich , Witchard Alison
Published: November 2022

This study quantifies the association between patient reported measures (PRMs) and readmission to inform efforts to improve hospital care. A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted with adults who had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or congestive heart failure (CHF) and were admitted for acute care in a public hospital in New South Wales, Australia for any reason (n = 2394 COPD and 2476 CHF patients in 2018–2020). Patient- level survey data were linked with inpatient data for one year prior to risk-adjust outcomes and after discharge to detect all cause unplanned readmission to a public or private hospital. Ninety-day readmission rates for respondents with COPD or CHF were 17% and 19%. Crude rates for adults with COPD were highest among those who reported that hospital care and treatment helped "not at all" (28%), compared to those who responded, "to some extent" (20%) or "definitely" (15%). After accounting for patient characteristics, adults with COPD or CHF who said care and treatment didn’t help at all were at twice the risk of readmission compared to those who responded that care and treatment helped "definitely" (Hazard ratio for COPD 1.97, CI: 1.17–3.32; CHF 2.07, CI 1.25–3.42). Patients who offered the most unfavourable ratings of overall care, understandable explanations, organised care, or preparedness for discharge were at a 1.5 to more than two times higher risk of readmission. Respect and dignity, effective and clear communications, and timely and coordinated care also matter. PRMs are strong predictors of readmission even after accounting for risk related to age and co-morbidities. More moderate ratings were associated with attenuation of risk, and the most positive ratings were associated with the lowest readmission rate. These results suggest that increasing each patient’s positive experiences progressively reduces the risk of adults with chronic conditions returning to acute care.
Bin1 targeted immunotherapy alters the status of the enteric neurons and the microbiome during ulcerative colitis treatment
Authors: Thomas Sunil , Mercogliano Giancarlo , Prendergast George C.
Published: November 2022

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a common chronic disease of the large intestine. Current anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed to treat this disease have limited utility due to significant side-effects. Thus, immunotherapies for UC treatment are still sought. In the DSS mouse model of UC, we recently demonstrated that systemic administration of the Bin1 monoclonal antibody 99D (Bin1 mAb) developed in our laboratory was sufficient to reinforce intestinal barrier function and preserve an intact colonic mucosa, compared to control subjects which displayed severe mucosal lesions, high-level neutrophil and lymphocyte infiltration of mucosal and submucosal areas, and loss of crypts. A dysbiotic microbiome may lead to UC. We determined the effects of Bin1 mAb on the gut microbiome and colonic neurons and correlated the benefits of immunotherapeutic treatment. In the DSS model, we found that induction of UC was associated with disintegration of enteric neurons and elevated levels of glial cells, which translocated to the muscularis at distinct sites. Further, we characterized an altered gut microbiome in DSS treated mice associated with pathogenic proinflammatory characters. Both of these features of UC induction were normalized by Bin1 mAb treatment. With regard to microbiome changes, we observed in particular, increase in Enterobacteriaceae; whereas Firmicutes were eliminated by UC induction and Bin1 mAb treatment restored this phylum including the genus Lactobacillus. Overall, our findings suggest that the intestinal barrier function restored by Bin1 immunotherapy in the DSS model of UC is associated with an improvement in the gut microbiome and preservation of enteric neurons, contributing overall to a healthy intestinal tract.

Published: November 2022

Objective

We previously showed that low serum bilirubin levels are associated with disability in quality of daily living in older patients with diabetes. However, the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between serum bilirubin levels and skeletal muscle mass in older patients with type2 diabetes.

Methods

A total of 272 older patients with type2 diabetes (152 male and 120 female) aged 60 years and over were continuously recruited from April 2020 to July 2020. Body composition was evaluated by bioelectrical impedance analysis. The skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) was calculated as appendicular muscle mass divided by height squared (m2).

Results

The SMI was markedly lower in old-old patients (aged 75 years and over) than in young-old patients (aged 60–74 years) in both male and female (7.1 ± 0.8 kg/m2 vs 7.6 ± 0.9 kg/m2, P<0.001; 5.5 ± 0.9 kg/m2 vs 6.3 ± 0.8 kg/m2, P<0.001, respectively). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the SMI was associated with body mass index (BMI) (p<0.001) and age (p = 0.048) in male young-old patients, while it was associated with BMI (p<0.001), age (p = 0.008), and serum indirect bilirubin levels (p = 0.038) in male old-old patients. In female, the SMI was associated with BMI (p<0.001) and age (p = 0.042) in young-old patients and associated with BMI alone (p<0.001) in old-old patients.

Conclusion

Serum indirect bilirubin levels may be associated with the decreased skeletal muscle mass in male older patients (aged 75 years and over) with type 2 diabetes.

Luxury leather goods and alternative leather: Risk and growth opportunities
Authors: Solca Luca
Published: November 2022

The global luxury market faces challenges from multiple sources. The landscape has changed with a shift towards more online selling. While this helped the luxury goods sector during the pandemic it also exposed consumers to more choices, allowing them to discover new brands and exposing them to competitive pricing. Shifts in consumer attitudes around sustainability and ethical consumption can have an impact on the desirability of products, particularly leather goods. As luxury brands rely so heavily on leather goods this can put them at a disadvantage as consumers delve deeper into the environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) performance of luxury brands. A shift to alternative raw materials is underway and this will offset risks, benefitting the larger groups.

Beyond gender inclusivity: Susanne Bier, feminism and female authorship
Authors: Mantziari Despoina
Published: November 2022

This article explores women directors’ conditional inclusivity within male-dominated filmmaking spaces, taking as an example Susanne Bier’s successful engagement with Dogme 95, an internationally renowned Danish film movement that has often been considered favourable to women. Focusing on Bier’s performance of authorship in interviews following the release ofOpen Hearts(), I analyse Bier’s resistance to the domineering discourses she encountered in the process of establishing her international auteur presence. Bier’s selective commitment to the movement’s ‘Vow of Chastity’ suggests a ‘creative promiscuity’ that challenges the generic and geographical borders that circumscribe women’s filmmaking. Such an analysis can provide the necessary qualitative data to illuminate reports commissioned by national film industries as they confront persisting inequalities. It can thus counter discourses that use individual women’s successes as ostensible proof that feminism is unnecessary and promote an understanding of the cultural changes needed to progress from conditional inclusivity to real equality.
Jean-Luc Godard’s Le mépris: Conventional film music in an unconventional guise
Authors: Baumgartner Michael
Published: November 2022

Godard revisits in Le mépris (1963) the Hollywood genre of the melodrama which enjoyed a large popularity in the 1950s. For this self-conscious reflection upon the genre of the melodrama, Godard hired Georges Delerue to write the music. Due to the involvement of the powerful mainstream cinema producers Carlo Ponti and Joseph E. Levine, Le mépris grew into a sizeable Hollywood-style production. Under the looking glass of these producers, Godard was expected to abandon his eccentric small-film budget habits and to comply with standard film production procedure. Pertaining to the music (and against his usual modus operandi), he conceived, together with Delerue, a detailed musical concept, spotted the film with Delerue present, integrated each and every cue Delerue composed into the film and respected the placement of the music cues as discussed with the composer. Nevertheless, behind the back of his producers, he was frequently tempted to diverge from the accepted norms and played with audience expectations. He introduced unexpected twists into the placement of the cues, which invite the audio viewer to question the established film music standards. Despite the rigid brief Godard received from his producers, he managed to dissect – with the assistance of Delerue’s lush, Hollywood-style score – the worn-out mechanics of the cinematic apparatus. The over-emphatic, idiomatic and stereotypical symphonic score inspired him to break the illusion of the artificially staged narrative.
Mouthing off: Contesting cinematic synchronization in digital music media
Authors: Nechushtan Tomer
Published: November 2022

The article explores the ways in which the boundaries of cinema are being tested by the transformation of historically formed lip-synching conventions by recent pop music films. While films based on computer-generated imagery rely on the familiar conventions of synchronizing images with the embodied voices of recognizable singer celebrities to regain an impression of corporeality, films created by and starring these same popular musicians choose to forgo this cinematic synchronization aesthetics. This asynchronization is not presented as an interruption within the film, as was often the case in the past, but rather as an alternative to sound cinema’s established vocal conventions of gender and race, as well as its hierarchies of technologies, industries and platforms.
HABITAT SUITABILITY SPATIAL MODEL OF NEAR THREATENED SUNDA TEAL ANAS GIBBERIFRONS (MULLER, 1842) (ANSERIFORMES: ANATIDAE) IN MUARA ANGKE WETLANDS, JAKARTA, INDONESIA

Published: November 2022

Wetland ecosystems are important habitats for many waterbird species, including the IUCN nearthreatened Sunda Teal Anas gibberifrons, a species that inhabit wetlands in Indonesia. Muara Angke is one of few remaining wetlands located in Jakarta and has potential as an important habitat for Sunda Teal. This study aims to assess and model suitable habitat for near-threatened Sunda Teal in remaining wetlands in Muara Angke in Jakarta, Indonesia. The study areas include an ecotourism park, the western and eastern parts of the Angke protected forest, and the wildlife reserve. Remote sensing data and geographic information system (GIS) analysis were employed to assess Sunda Teal’s habitat suitability. Some environmental variables negatively influencing habitat suitability for the species include the presence of fishponds and settlements, and represent anthropogenic disturbance. In contrast, variables that may positively influence the species include the occurrence of gastropod and crustacea, both groups being known as food resources, and mangrove cover. The highly and moderately suitable habitats were estimated to form 32.36% and 23.48% of the total wetlands, respectively. In contrast, 12.17% was considered unsuitable for Sunda Teal. The ecotourism park had the most unsuitable habitats. In contrast to the ecotourism park, the protected forest, followed by the wildlife reserve, had more moderately and highly suitable habitats.

Published: November 2022

Indonesia has a high diversity of butterflies with more than 2,000 species, yet knowledge of their pre-adult stages is very limited. A thorough understanding of the larval stage is necessary to complement the data on butterfly diversity and distribution. This survey, which lasted from 2012 to 2022, aimed to document the butterfly larvae in their last instars that were encountered in East Java. Leaves of the host plants were visually inspected during the day to collect butterfly eggs or larvae. The eggs and larvae were then reared to adulthood and resulted in 136 verified species in total. Of 136 species, the caterpillars of 107 species (78.68%) had previously been documented, and those of 29 species (21.32%) are newly reported here, including the caterpillars of Eurema beatrix and Ixias venilia, which are rare and endemic to Java. This information will serve as a substantial part of developing a field guide to the butterflies of Java, which will include pre-adult stages.
Weaving Child-Plastic Relations with Early Childhood Educators in the Ecuadorian Andes
Authors:   Western University, Canada, Berry Alex
Published: November 2022

In a small village in the Ecuadorian Andes called Racar, plastics are intimately woven into social and ecological structures. These entanglements move beyond human control and generate toxic dependencies between humans, plastics, and others. This requires a pedagogical shift in how early childhood educators understand and respond to plastics. Drawing on field research with educators in Racar, this paper attempts to interrupt human-centric discourses of the child as separate from Andean ecologies and resituates childhoods as differentially embedded in complex place relations.
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON THE VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF BRIDGE'S HORIZONTAL ROTATION SYSTEM
Authors: Wang Jiawei , Cao Bing , Huang Bo , Du Yihan
Published: November 2022

As a new construction method, the bridge horizontal rotation construction method can reduce the impact of traffic under the bridge. During the horizontal rotation of the bridge, the overall structure will inevitably lead to a vibration response due to the construction error of the contact surface of the spherical hinge. Due to the large weight of the structure and the longer cantilever of the superstructure, the vibration at the spherical hinge will be amplified at the girder end, which will adversely affect the stability of the structure. Taking a 10,000-ton rotating bridge as a reference, a scaled model was made to test the vibration of the girder during the rotating process of the horizontal rotating system.And by analyzing the frequency domain curve of girder vibration and the results of simulation calculation, it is found that the vertical vibration displacement response is related to the first three modes of longitudinal bending of the girder structure, but has nothing to do with the higher modes or other modes. Applying the harmonic response analysis module in ANSYS software method, it is proposed that the structural vibration effect will reach the smallest by controlling the rotating speed in order to control the excitation frequency within the first-order mode frequency of girder. Also in this research, the expression of the relationship between the vertical vibration velocity and acceleration of the girder end of the horizontal rotation system and the vibration frequency of the girder is established. Based on that, it is proposed that the stability of the horizontal rotation can be predicted by monitoring the vertical velocity and acceleration of the cantilever girder end during the horizontal rotation.
BEARING CAPACITY OF T BEAM UNDER DIFFERENT PRESTRESS LEVELS: FULL-SCALE EXPERIMENT AND FEM ANALYSIS
Authors: Liu Long , Ma Jinyan
Published: November 2022

Insufficient prestress will cause cracks in the T beam, which will influence its stiffness and bearing capacity. This paper is devoted to studying the influence of prestress levels on the bearing capacity of T beam, and then judging its working state. A full-scale model experiment is carried out on the 13 meters prestressed concrete T beam. At the same time, a nonlinear finite element model is established and verified. The experimental results show the numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. Finally, the finite element model is used to make a simulation of the bearing capacity of T beams under different prestress levels. The mathematical relationship between prestress levels and bearing capacity is obtained based on the results of the finite element model. The relationships between the mid-span deflection and load of the experimental beam are basically the same under different prestress levels, both including three stages: elastic stage, crack development stage and failure stage. With the increase of the prestress levels, the stiffness of the experimental beam before cracking is improved significantly.

The purpose of this study was to reveal the effectiveness of PopUp Cards in increasing motivation at MI Ar-Roudhoh Jember and to determine the effect of motivation on speaking skills at MI Ar-Roudhoh Jember. Moreover, from the research results, Pop Up cards have a high level of effectiveness for students, with 82.62%. This is very effective because Pop-Ups are moving cards, and the resulting pictures are liked and liked by students. It helps teachers in student learning activities to facilitate the application of more concrete examples. We also learn that the motive variable has a significant result (0.000) and significantly affects the speaking skill variable. According to the table, because it is smaller than 0.05, we learned that the motivational variable had a vital outcome (0.289) and affected 28.9% of speaking skills. This is because motivation is the key to successful learning, a keeper of enthusiasm, and many studies prove it.

This research is important to do because the effectiveness of learning in Indonesian informal educational institutions, especially Student's Education Parks is still quite low. This study aims to determine the effect of Total Physical Response (TPR) on improving Arabic vocabulary memory for TPQ students at the Nurul 'Ilmi Mosque in Semarang City and find new variations in learning methods for TPQ students who have various ages at each level. This research uses Non Equivalent Control Group Design. The participants in this study were 30 students at the TPQ Nurul 'Ilmi Mosque, Semarang City. The data analysis technique used is quantitative data analysis. The findings in this study stated that TPR was proven to be effective in improving the memory of Arabic vocabulary in the TPQ students of the Nurul 'Ilmi Mosque in Semarang City in terms of response indicators, processes and results. This can be seen from the difference in the results of the comparison test between the control class and the experimental class with an N-Gain of 3.86 which indicates a significant level of gain in the high category. This TPR method provides an alternative for TPQ teachers in providing activities in learning that are more interesting than usual so that they can spur the development of various student's abilities and the creativity of TPQ teachers in innovating in each lesson.

Dalam penerapan lapangan, pendidikan karakter belum terlaksana secara sistematis karena belum ada RPP, namun dalam pelaksanaanya guru mampu membimbing dan memotivasi peserta didik. Sedangkan untuk evaluasi, guru hanya melakukan observasi sikap peserta didik lalu menarik kesimpulan. Meski pendidikan karakter belum terlaksana secara maksimal, pendidikan tersebut mampu membuat peserta didik tetap semangat dalam belajar khususnya dalam pembelajaran kaidah bahasa. Peserta didik juga memiliki kesabaran, religius, kreatif, dan simpati.

Crítica de la metafísica y metafísica crítica
Authors: Pringe Hernán
Published: November 2022

La crítica kantiana de la razón tiene como principal propósito determinar la posibilidad de la metafísica como ciencia. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un panorama de aquella metafísica cuya posibilidad resulta finalmente establecida. Distinguiremos tres tipos de conocimiento metafísico posible: la metafísica de la experiencia, la metafísica de las costumbres y la metafísica práctico-dogmática. Posteriormente, discutiremos el modo en el que estas metafísicas se ordenan en un sistema.
La constitución subjetivo-objetiva de la estructura de la objetividad
Authors: López López Alberto
Published: November 2022

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo general mostrar, a través de una determinada lectura, que el fundamento de la estructura de la objetividad tematizada en la Deducción Trascendental (y, más concretamente, en la síntesis de reconocimiento en el concepto) es la síntesis figurativa (synthesis speciosa) de la imaginación productiva. Para el cumplimiento de este objetivo se propone una lectura de este tercer aspecto de la síntesis que toma como hilo conductor la constitución subjetivo-objetiva de la estructura mencionada y muestra, con ello, que la argumentación kantiana en este pasaje procede basculando del «polo» subjetivo al «polo» objetivo de la misma. Nuestra hipótesis de trabajo es, en coherencia con ello, que para ganar una comprensión del fundamento que persigue la Deducción Trascendental y, por tanto, de la estructura de la objetividad que el mismo abre, es imprescindible atender al carácter subjetivo-objetivo de dicha estructura.
Coleridge y la invención de la prosa
Authors: Iommi Echeverría Alfonso
Published: November 2022

A través del análisis de un fragmento escrito probablemente en torno a 1818, intento mostrar en este artículo cómo el descubrimiento del origen de la prosa significó un hito relevante en el pensamiento de Samuel Taylor Coleridge acerca de la distinción entre verso y prosa. Esta marca se fundó en sus estudios de los presocráticos y coincidió con su teoría estética enraizada en el pensamiento de Plotino. Intento poner en evidencia, entonces, cómo una discusión estilística adquirió un alcance filosófico e incluso teológico.
