Authors: Titis Ari Wibowo  , Muhammad Zilal Hamzah  , Eleonora Sofilda
Published: August 2024

This research investigates the economic impacts of port development and management on coastal communities, focusing on the role of vocational education in workforce preparation. Ports serve as pivotal economic hubs, driving regional growth through trade facilitation, job creation, and infrastructure development. However, they also pose environmental challenges such as pollution and habitat degradation, necessitating sustainable management practices. The study evaluates these dual aspects by analysing indicators such as GDP growth, workforce readiness, environmental sustainability, and strategic management in port operations. Findings highlight the significant contributions of ports to local economies while emphasising the importance of vocational education in equipping communities with skills for port-related jobs. Strategic management and governance are critical in maximising economic benefits while mitigating environmental impacts and ensuring regulatory compliance. The research underscores the need for integrated approaches that balance economic growth with environmental sustainability to foster resilience in coastal regions.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiência do uso de substratos orgânicos alternativos no crescimento inicial de mudas de abóbora (Cucurbita pepo L.) cultivadas em vasos. Um experimento foi conduzido de fevereiro a maio de 2024 na casa de vegetação do Centro de Ciências de Chapadinha, localizado em Chapadinha – MA. O estudo adotou um delineamento inteiramente casualizado com quatro tratamentos e 20 repetições por tratamento, totalizando 80 unidades experimentais. Compostos por: T1 = caule decomposto de babaçu (CDB), T2 = substrato comercial (Basaplant®) - (SC), T3 = esterco bovino (EB), e T4 = areia lavada (AL). Observando variáveis como comprimento do caule, diâmetro do caule, comprimento radicular e volume radicular. Os resultados indicaram que as mudas do tratamento T2 (60% solo + 40% substrato comercial) apresentaram o maior comprimento médio do caule (17,36 cm), enquanto o tratamento T4 (60% solo + 40% areia lavada) teve o menor comprimento do caule. Em relação ao diâmetro do caule, os menores valores foram encontrados nos tratamentos T4 e T3. No comprimento radicular, houve variação significativa, com o menor comprimento no tratamento T4 e o maior no T2. O volume radicular variou consideravelmente entre os tratamentos, com valores mais baixos no T4 e mais altos no T1 (60% solo + 40% caule decomposto de babaçu). Conclui que o tratamento com 60% de solo e 40% de substrato comercial (T2) é o mais eficaz para o cultivo de mudas de abóbora. Os achados sugerem que a escolha do substrato pode ter um impacto significativo no desenvolvimento das mudas, com o substrato comercial sendo mais benéfico em comparação com areia lavada e outros materiais testados.

Abstract Purpose: Our aim is to discuss a rare diagnosis of nephro-cutaneous fistula revealing a left lithiasic pyonephrosis associated with bladder stones. On the other hand, to report on the difficulties of management in our practice context where patients are without universal medical insurance. Observation: This was a 25-year- old patient, hospitalized in visceral surgery, for purulent discharge through a left lumbar wound that had occurred spontaneously for eight months. The fistula had appeared on a left lumbar swelling associated with dysuria that had been progressing for three years, with no history of trauma and abdominal pain. Physical examination revealed an oozing skin hole in the center of the swelling and hypogastric pain. The uro-scanner had shown a left vesico-renal uro-lithiasis with a dumb left kidney and dilatation of the upper calyces. Urine culture had isolated a strain of Escherichia Coli sensitive to fluorquinolones. The indication for a left trans-abdominal nephrourectomy associated with cystolithotomy was performed. The postoperative course was simple. The patient was discharged at D14 postoperatively.With a 6-month follow-up, contralateral renal function was normal. Conclusion: Our observation reports the delayed diagnosis of a silently progressing condition that was revealed as a cutaneous fistula. Apart from the late diagnosis observed in our patient, it should be noted the difficulties of access to the etiological diagnosis of lithiasis related to the expensive cost of imaging examinations.

Published: August 2024

Humans are sovereign as caliphs of the earth because, as God's creatures, they differ from other species in their specificity. Humans need the means, the universe and everything in it, to actualize the meaning of the caliphate. From the perspective of the Koran, this article aims to examine more deeply the ideas about nature and humanity and their relationship. Apart from that, this article also attempts to discuss human ethics towards the environment; humans are responsible for protecting and preserving the environment. The author will use a qualitative descriptive method in studying this problem by examining the verses of the Koran that are relevant to the relationship between humans and the environment or universe. From this study, it was concluded that the relationship between humans and the natural environment is interdependent; on the one hand, humans can utilize nature for the benefit of their lives, but at the same time humans have the responsibility to care for and preserve the universe. This is possible because humans are caliphs, one of whose three things is carrying out the mandate to protect nature from damage, as well as having ethics towards nature and the environment where humans live.

Authors: PRELJEVIĆ HAMZA ,   International University of Sarajevo (IUS), Bosnia and Herzegovina, GÜVEN İBRAHIM FEVZI ,   Karabük , Türkiye
Published: August 2024

The war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) had two notable consequences. The first is the complex institutional structure, and the second is the war-induced displacement. The article’s exclusive emphasis is on the latter consequence. The violent ethnic homogenization and territorialization between 1992 and 1995 permanently altered and severely damaged the ethnic composition of the ountry. Even though the non-Serbs were forcibly displaced and then returned voluntarily to their home of origin, the returnees are confronted with the secessionist threat and the continuous challenge of life in Republika Srpska (RS). The article aims to address the continuing challenges faced by Bosniak returnees in the RS, with particular emphasis on the connections between returnee experiences and the unresolved threat of secession. To explore the social, political, and economic challenges faced by returnees and the impact of increasing separatist agitation and tendencies in the RS on Bosniak returnees, a field study was carried out in six municipalities located in East Bosnia: Zvornik, Bratunac, Vlasenica, Milići, Srebrenica, and Višegrad.
WHO HOLDS THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE? THE EVIDENCE FROM EUROPE, 1990-2023
Authors: DRAŠAR MICHAEL ,   Institute of Political Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University
Published: August 2024

This article maps the biographical characteristics of European presidents elected in direct elections after 1989. The author focuses on the structure of age, education, previous political experience, and gender. The article aims to describe the original dataset and to examine it in the context of the theoretical framework of descriptive representation and concepts of presidential power. Although only a partial relationship has been found between age structure and presidential power, and between gender structure and the Woman Political Participation Index, the general applicability of these findings to Europe is problematic. The effect of other factors was not shown at all, which indicates the specificity of the presidential election. The shape of the electoral system, the particularity of each case, and the current political situation determine who is elected president, and these findings cannot be generalized to the entire analyzed area.
Simultaneous Spatiotemporal Bias Compensation and Data Fusion for Asynchronous Multisensor Systems
Authors: Zhou Gongjian , Bu Shizhe , Kirubarajan Thiagalingam
Published: August 2024

Bias estimation of sensors is an essential prerequisite for accurate data fusion. Neglect of temporal bias in general real systems prevents the existing algorithms from successful application. In this paper, both spatial and temporal biases in asynchronous multisensor systems are investigated and two novel methods for simultaneous spatiotemporal bias compensation and data fusion are presented. The general situation that the sensors sample at different times with different and varying periods is explored, and unknown time delays may exist between the time stamps and the true measurement times. Due to the time delays, the time stamp interval of the measurements from different sensors may be different from their true measurement interval, and the unknown difference between them is considered as the temporal bias and augmented into the state vector to be estimated. Multisensor measurements are collected in batch processing or sequential processing schemes to estimate the augmented state vector, results in two spatiotemporal bias compensation methods. In both processing schemes, the measurements are formulated as functions of both target states and spatiotemporal biases according to the time difference between the measurements and the states to be estimated. The Unscented Kalman Filter is used to handle the nonlinearity of the measurements and produce spatiotemporal bias and target state estimates simultaneously. The posterior Cramer-Rao lower bound (PCRLB) for spatiotemporal bias and state estimation is presented and simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
The Monstrous Lineage of Adamastor and His Critics
Authors: Blackmore Josiah
Published: August 2024

Abstract: This article considers the figure of Adamastor in Os Lusíadas and, in particular, Adamastor’s status as a monster and how this becomes implicated into criticism of the poem. The article argues that Adamastor’s monstrosity invests him with a special hermeneutic currency. Comments are made on monsters in literary and cultural criticism. Then, Manuel de Faria e Sousa’s commentary on the Adamastor episode in his 1639 edition of Os Lusíadas is analyzed. In this text, Adamastor’s monstrous body is key to establishing him as a contravening principle to Portuguese imperialism.
Love and the Empire in "Os Lusíadas"
Authors: Jiménez-Sandoval Saúl
Published: August 2024

Abstract: Throughout the centuries, Os Lusíadas by Camões has been read as a Neoplatonic and Platonic text that follows the basic precepts of the dolce stil nuovo. Yet there is an inherent contradiction in this reading, for firstly, it disregards Camões' great genius in reinventing the style, and secondly, it does not account for the total sexual contact between the Portuguese sailors and the nymphs on the Ilha dos Amores. Furthermore, it does not contextualize Camões within the historical, social, and personal framework that must have played an important part in the composition of the poem. The article’s main argument is that Camões composes Os Lusíadas considering the dire need that Portugal has for an heir. Hence, it was necessary for the poet to downplay the Platonic and Neoplatonic traditions that influenced the dolce stil nuovo, in order to incite King Sebastian to seek a sexual encounter that will produce an heir.

Abstract: Myths of nationhood sustain both Os Lusíadas and W.J. Mickle’s very popular and influential version of it, The Lusiad (1776). But what Camões transmitted to Mickle was not only a sense of the destiny of his nation but also its deep-seated contradictions. Just as 16th-century Portugal peculiarly combined feudal and mercantile values, so did 18th-century Scotland, and in converting an epic of humanism into an epic of commerce, liberty, and civilization, Mickle expressed the tensions of an enlightened age. “Almada Hill” (1781) superimposes a vision of modern Britain on the Portuguese past and present.
Immanence as Resistance. (Non-)philosophical dialog between Gilles Deleuze and François Laruelle
Authors: Strelchuk Anna
Published: August 2024

The article reconstructs and analyzes in detail the concepts of immanence of J. Deleuze and F. Laruelle, as well as their actual and imagined dialogues and mutual critiques from Deleuzian remarks in «What is Philosophy?», referring to Laruelle's non-philosophical strategy of thought as one way of thinking immanence, to the implicit counter-theses of Laruelle, who claims immanence no less than Deleuze, and their open responses to each other. Thus, whereas Deleuze outlines the plan of immanence as something that needs to be created, outlined, grasped (to concept) and which is nevertheless the basic implication of any thought (both philosophical and non-philosophical, where the latter is the non-conceptualizable), Laruelle sees such a demarche as assigning radical immanence to the domain of philosophical thought alone, which thinks of itself as self-sufficient and thus claims conceptual totalization. Laruelle's radical immanence is not the Spinozian One: according to Laruelle, such immanence is something absolutely irreducible, something to which even the predicate of being cannot be added. It is a kind of «givenness-without-givenness» Real. Thus, radical immanence is non-philosophical because it is a generic (générique) experience that people share directly, and does not need an ontology or philosophy of being to be. Whereas the plane of immanence is non-philosophical because it is a pre-philosophical and pre-conceptual level that nevertheless constitutes the heart of philosophy as the inseparability and reciprocity of the External and the Internal.
The end of Philosophical Times: how to change philosophy so that it can participate in solving problems of the real world? Philosophy and problems of the real world
Authors: Schmid Anne-Françoise
Published: August 2024

We conjure up a hypothesis according to which philosophy and the real world do not have a direct connection, but we can imagine conditions for philosophy and the real world to be in a direct connection with each other. To make this connection possible we resort to the concepts of «impossibility» and «non-standard philosophy», we trying to talk about the reality as something bigger than just a mere byproduct of philosophy, we introduce the idea of a plurality of philosophies and question an ability of philosophy to be self-sufficient on its own. We reinterpret these results using the concept of generic and replace the well-known concept of overdetermination of philosophy with the concept of underdetermination, which Laruelle calls «an under-foundation» and which changes the course of relation between philosophies and other disciplines. In this case philosophies no longer tower over the latter, but are placed on the same level with them in order to create new connections between the philosophies and connections with other disciplines alike.
Philosophy and Non-philosophy. Introduction
Authors: Laruelle François
Published: August 2024

The text makes one of the most important demarcations delineating the subject field of non-philosophy: between this latter and philosophy proper, which appears as relativized «moduses, effects, or particular cases that cumulatively point to a new thinking». This new thinking, which is non-philosophical in character, regards the philosophical as empirical, as datum, as its own raw material, rejecting all self-sufficiency of philosophy (looping in itself as its own foundation, reducing every problem to the necessity of justification within philosophy) called by the author «The Principle of Sufficient Philosophy». The task of non-philosophy is to factualize philosophies and thus to put philosophical belief, which is fundamental, according to Laruelle's thought, and unchanging in all its modulations, out of brackets. Such a quasi-transcendental reduction rests on the One, whereas factualized philosophies turn to chaos/chora, conceptualized as «useless philosophical raw material» operating around the non-philosophical Real-One through «seeing-in-the-One». Partly mystically described by Laruelle, «vision-in-One» is a fundamental non-philosophical operation, «a modus of thinking that resides in one single One, autonomous with respect to Being and acting as the real foundation of <...> science», a kind of new thinking in general in which — as in the ultimate experience — «philosophy can be given to man». The gain envisioned, as Laruelle believes, by such a demarche is the opening up of «an infinite field of combinatorial possibilities» that will not be self-enclosed through the gesture of the repetitive structurally homogeneous gesture of the «philosophical solution», but will thus find a way out. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, is the «radical humanization of thinking, which has ceased to be transcendent Factum's or the World, in order to become the correlate of the One — the human being brought to its essence».
The Immanence of the World Beyond
Authors: Meillassoux Quentin
Published: August 2024

In this article, Meillassoux proceeds from the presuppositions of «After Finitude» and «The Ghost Dilemma» from two theses: (1) everything that is logically conceivable is possible and, therefore, (2) a new god that does not require a theodicyis possible. Proposing a new scheme of a contingent past in order to make a march into a contingent future, Meillassoux derives four worlds independent of each other: the world of matter, the world of life, the world of reason, and the world of justice. Insisting on his position and arguing for this absolute randomness of the worlds in their sequence and in their leading concepts, he proposes the hypothesis that one of the infinite possibilities, a truly good god, might come true, but his existence passes under the rubric of pure possibility. Meillassoux writes of this world, the fourth world of justice, which has not been, is not, or is not yet, as if it had already been accomplished, and the roll of the dice pointed to a clear, distinct, but generally dogmatic picture of some quasi-appearance. This new god must save the dead and save us, among whom there is a special type of subject, the «vector» subject. The subject who prepares the world for this event – the ontological snap. Promising absolute justice, however, Meillassoux draws a line: the torments of love, creativity and friendship are inviolable – no utopia, according to Meillassoux, can claim to resolve these torments.
Aftoktonía as a strategy for getting rid of suffering: an ontological change
Authors: Vasilieva Ksenia
Published: August 2024

Can aftoktonia be an exit strategy from a situation of suffering? Autoktonia is understood as a voluntary action of the subject aimed at his or her own nothingness. The article proposes a series of historical and philosophical plots, which are used to demonstrate the possibility or impossibility of realising autoktonia as a way out of suffering within a particular ontology. In the case of ontological pluralism, this strategy is relevant because the death of the subject leads the latter to non-existence or to another, good, ontological order in which there is no suffering (Plato, Job, Paul). In opposition to this, the Christian concept of Incrise Mather stands out, according to which autoktonia can lead to even greater suffering, since it is a pathway to the fourth dimension of "hell". Also, autoktonia is irrelevant in the philosophy of Eduard Hartmann, since individual or collective autoktonia is not capable of destroying the substance of the universe - the unconscious. For Schopenhauer, autoktonia realises deliverance from suffering only under one condition: the ascetic freed from desire dies a starvation death and thus negates the will to live. In the ontologies of the new materialism, the subject's material body becomes the suffering substance. The body does not change dimension-habitat after death - unlike ontologies that include the soul as a special type of being - the attributes of the living body are retained in the dead body, since it continues to be active. Therefore, after death, the subject body is capable of suffering, which makes autarky an irrelevant strategy in the ontologies of new materialism. All this allows us to point out that autoktonia as a strategy of getting rid of suffering is relevant in a narrow spectrum of ontological concepts.
Artificial Intelligence: Utopia and Subjectlessness
Authors: Alexeeva Ekaterina
Published: August 2024

The article proposes that some properties of artificial intelligence allow it to become a part of modern utopian thinking. Utopia is understood as accumulated collective desires that can guide the activity of communities in opposition to its classical literary and philosophical meaning. Utopia, on the one hand, is aimed at forming ideas about what does not exist yet. On the other hand, it is aimed at establishing some proper order of things, which is necessary beyond the will of individual subjects. Therefore, it is assumed that one of the key properties of the utopian order of things is subjectlessness – the absence of the properties of subjectivity (for example: consciousness and reflexivity, self-perception, experience, ability to purposeful action, etc.). The article considers various artificial intelligence projects, including AGI, which are divided by the degree of their anthropomorphism. It is shown that the most probable scenarios of AI development are related to the development of artificial systems that do not possess subjectivity, nevertheless being significant actors. This is considered as one of the reasons why contemporary utopian thinking assumes that the development of artificial intelligence can lead to the realization of utopian projects. Such projects are possible not only in the political sphere, but also in the field of epistemic practices. It is shown how artificial intelligence becomes a part of epistemic and political utopias.
