O trágico como conceito central da filosofia de Nietzsche Uma homenagem a Roberto Machado
Authors: Martins André
Published: July 2023

Roberto Machado foi protagonista de uma geração de professores brilhantes da filosofia carioca e um dos introdutores do estudo de Nietzsche (assim como de Foucault e Deleuze) no Brasil. A ênfase dada ao conceito do trágico fora um marco de sua interpretação, fortemente influenciada pela leitura de Deleuze em Nietzsche e a filosofia. O presente artigo dialoga e debate criticamente ambas as interpretações, machadiana e deleuziana, mesclando vida e teoria, com relatos e testemunhos de convivência com o grande e saudoso professor e amigo que fora Roberto Machado.
Roberto Machado leitor de Gilles Deleuze: caminhos de ensino e aprendizado de filosofia
Authors: Madureira de Pinho Antonio Augusto
Published: July 2023

: O artigo procura mostrar como a recepção de temas da filosofia de Gilles Deleuze e a própria obra do filósofo foram decisivas na trajetória de Roberto Machado, do ponto de vista do historiador das idéias filosoficas, mas nem tanto em suas exigências metodológicas e pedagógicas. Neste aspecto, é Michel Foucault o filósofo que responde a tais exigências, cujos traços aparecem na trajetória de Machado, com a prática . pedagógica das aulas “quadro negro” e “aulas comício”, adaptadas ao seu estilo, bem como a  elaboração de uma arqueologia do trágico. Como historiador das idéias, Machado segue os temas e os autores estudados por G. Deleuze, na defesa de uma geografia do pensamento, em que a crítica ao conceito de identidade e de representação deve ceder a um pensamento da diferença, no qual a filosofia de Kant situa-se no espaço fronteiriço entre estas duas esferas de pensamento. O artigo reafirma a hipótese de Machado que este ponto é a invariante estrutural que percorre as obras de Deleuze. Por fim, o autor rende homenagens ao mestre, valendo-se do mote de Espinosa-Nietzsche, formulado por Deleuze: “o que pode um corpo?”, para exaltar a prática pedagógica de ensinar e fazer filosofia como uma prática marcada por afetos de alegria

Drogadição: as duas questões de Deleuze e Lancetti e uma resposta spinozista
Authors: Eduardo Fraga Carlos
Published: July 2023

Este artigo utiliza a filosofia de Spinoza para pensar o problema da dependência de drogas psicoativas. Partindo-se do conceito de desejo como essência do ser humano, busca-se uma definição para a drogadição. Somente a explicando como uma afecção do desejo se pode realmente compreendê-la. Um desejo excessivo e fixado na alteração de percepção é o que produz a drogadição. Esta seria sua definição genética, o que explica sua produção, assim como nos ensina o método do filósofo no TIE. É um conceito principalmente pragmático, pode servir como ferramenta na construção de uma clínica própria e de políticas públicas adequadas ao problema. Para chegar a esta definição, nos valemos também das reflexões de Gilles Deleuze sobre drogas e das práticas em redução de danos de Antonio Lancetti.

The Black Lives Matter Movement Affected the View About Racism in the World
Authors: Bobur Bakhrom ugli Toshbekov
Published: July 2023

The study demonstrates that public interest in the BLM plan is fast-growing, even though media and social media data are being utilized to verify BLM protests. While the protests are over, BLM and related issues will be discussed. The acts are likely to have influenced BLM's ideas on social change and grasp of anti-racist ideologies. Because of the Black Lives Movement, racism has changed significantly. Racism has had a significant impact on modern society because it has drawn attention and made people more aware of the fundamental nature of racism. One can't say for sure how many discriminatory acts it has stopped, but it's possible. But it has looked into all of the discriminatory actions that have gone unanswered for a long time now that it has.

Strong Relations Uzbekistan Plays an Important Role in Central Asia (US perspective)
Authors: Toshbekov Bobur Bakhrom ugli
Published: July 2023

Henry Clark, the first US ambassador to Uzbekistan, recalled how the country spent its days with coupons and economic hardships when it was hard to boil the pot. Political scientist Ainura Akmatalieva stated, “In US policy in Central Asia, the desire to strengthen relations with Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan will prevail over regional dialogue”. It was noted that the US is focusing on Uzbekistan because of Afghanistan and stability. In this paper, I will analyze why the relationship between Uzbekistan and the United States is more robust than that of other Central Asian countries. A phenomenological approach is used in this study and is supported by a literature review based on open sources (articles, reports, news), accompanied by applying International Relations theory. In the last section, I try to conclude by recommending policies to the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev. In conclusion, I recommend maintaining strong and beneficial relations for both sides in many sectors. Still, neutrality should remain the basic concept of Uzbekistan when it comes to other industries, such as foreign policy, military agreements, and interference in any issues between Afghanistan and the Taliban.
Implications of the Covid-19 Pandemi as Forcing Circumstances (Overmacht) in Credit Agreements
Authors: Arrosyiid Haadi , Febriansyah Ferry Irawan
Published: July 2023

This study discusses whether the Covid-19 pandemic can be classified as a force majeure (overmatch) in a credit agreement. This study uses a normative juridical method by conducting a literature study on legal materials obtained from laws, literature, and other books related to this writing. From the results of the research that has been done, the policies implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic could have gone better. This is marked by the continued decline in the community's economy, so the achievements in the agreements still need to be fulfilled. Many parties, one of which is a debtor in a credit agreement, have failed to pay by using force majeure (overmatch) to avoid responsibility for compensation. The Covid-19 pandemic can indeed be classified as a force majeure (overmacht) as long as the debtor can prove the reasons he stated to the creditor in several ways, namely 1) An unexpected event occurred, 2) An event that occurred beyond his control/fault, and 3) some events prevent the debtor from fulfilling his achievements.

Authors: Tazkiya Khansa , Harahap Burhanudin , Purwadi Hari
Published: July 2023

The provisions in the Qur'an and al-Hadith bind Islamic Contract Law. From the Islamic perspective, contracts are better known by the word Akad. The most significant factor in the increase in profit power in Islamic contract law is obtained from financing agreements. Indonesia and Malaysia, as Muslim-majority countries, provide different arrangements regarding istishna's financing agreement'. Therefore, this legal research aims to compare Islamic legal systems in applying the istishna' agreement in Indonesia and Malaysia based on the DSN MUI Fatwa and the SAC BNM Fatwa. The research method is a doctrinal legal research method with a comparative approach. The results showed that in the application of the istishna' contract in Indonesia and Malaysia, there was no significant difference. The development of istishna' agreements between the two countries from year to year has fluctuated. The number of istishna' financing agreements in Indonesia is higher than in Malaysia.
Legal Consequences of Establishing a Limited Liability Company by a Foundation in Violation of the Law
Authors: Hatimah Khusnul , Sulistiyono Adi , Sudarwanto Al Sentot
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this research is to analyze the responsibility of a notary and the legal consequences for a limited liability company that a foundation has established but violates the law on foundations. The research was conducted using doctrinal legal research methods. The results of the study show that: (1) Notaries as officials who are authorized in terms of doing authentic deeds, including the deed of establishment of limited liability companies established by foundations, have a great responsibility insofar as they concern the formal requirements of authenticating the deed. However, the notary is not responsible for the substance of the deed because it is the will of the parties themselves, so if what is violated is the formal terms of the deed, the notary can be sued for compensation and fines. (2) The legal consequence for the limited liability company is that it violates Article 7 of the Law on Foundations. It is null and void because the deed of an establishment violates the objective requirements of the legal terms of an agreement regulated in Article 1320 of the Civil Code. In addition, the legal status of a Limited Liability Company has been deemed to have never existed, causing all actions that have been carried out or carried out by the organs of the company to have no legal standing.
Comparative Analysis of Murabahah Financing Agreement with Musyarakah Mutanaqisah Financing Agreement in Indonesia's Sharia Banking System
Authors: Maulan Anas , Harahap Burhanudin , Sasmini
Published: July 2023

Indonesia is one of the largest Islamic countries in the world. In 2021, Indonesia has officially formed Bank Syariah Indonesia combined with 3 private Islamic banks, namely Bank BRI Syariah, Bank Mandiri Syariah and BNI Syariah. The purpose of Bank Syariah Indonesia is to facilitate sharia-based services that avoid customers from transactions containing elements of usury, gharar, maisir, haram and Zalim which are commonly applied in conventional banking in general in the form of interest. Islamic banking in Indonesia takes advantage not from usury but from financing or buying and selling goods carried out by banks with customers according to customer wishes and needs. One of the financing that is usually in demand by customers is the murabahah financing contract and the musyarakah mutanaqisah financing contract. These two contracts are the same as taking advantage of buying and selling goods but murabahah is more dominant in financing without a down payment and goods that have been determined from the beginning of the contract while muyarakah mutanaqisah is more dominant in financing the needs desired by customers in the form of cash instead of goods.

Published: July 2023

En las salas de hemodinámica encontramos a profesionales altamente cualificados, conocedores de las técnicas más innovadoras que deben llevarse a cabo, para lograr de la forma más eficaz la resolución de los problemas. Sin embargo, en ocasiones no se presta atención a otros aspectos clave, como pueden ser los psicológicos de las personas que serán intervenidas. Muchos de los pacientes que acuden a estas salas presentan ansiedad, estrés o incertidumbre ante su operación quirúrgica. La prevalencia de la ansiedad es muy alta, ya que es la quinta enfermedad crónica con más prevalencia en nuestro país.

Revisión bibliográfica sistemática basada de la evidencia científica disponible en distintas bases de datos bibliográficas como, Cochrane, pubMed, Scielo y DIALNET, para ello se usaron las palabras clave ansiedad, hemodinámica, humanización y se ha utilizó como operador booleano “AND” y “OR”.

Para analizar mejor la información sobre la muestra, se realizó un diagrama de PRISMA, en el cual se muestra el proceso de selección de los estudios. En los artículos analizados, se muestra a los pacientes con ansiedad en las salas hemodinámica, llegando a compararse en algunos de los casos como una ansiedad extrema.

Diversos estudios demuestran que los pacientes sufren estrés, ansiedad y miedo cuando están en las salas de hemodinámica; por lo que, realizando unas conductas más humanizadas por parte de enfermería, se podría reducir este estrés y aumentar el confort de los pacientes.
Theoretical and legal approaches to determining the essence of circumstances to be proved in the tax process.
Authors: Orlova Natalia
Published: July 2023

The law enforcement activity of the tax authorities is inextricably linked with the establishment of the actual circumstances that serve as the basis for the correct qualification of an action or inaction that has signs of a tax offense, as well as for the adoption of individual law enforcement acts. Identification of circumstances is carried out both in the course of applying measures for the enforcement of debt collection, in the course of tax audits and holding taxpayers accountable. Circumstances to be established and proven allow establishing legally significant conditions for the application of the rule of law. Consequently, the legality and validity of a law enforcement act depends on the completeness of the establishment of the actual circumstances provided for by the legislation on taxes and fees. As a result of the study, the author concluded that there are significant differences between the circumstances to be proved in the tax process. Thus, the circumstances to be proven during a tax audit are directly related to the economic activity of the taxpayer, are events in his economic life, and the circumstances related to the provision of tax control and the enforcement of taxes (fees, contributions) are of a procedural nature. The distinction between the circumstances to be proved in the tax process is of scientific importance and contributes to further research in the field of proving tax offenses. The practical significance of the findings is confirmed by the possibility of their use in the law enforcement activities of the tax authorities.

Learning from nature: Exploring systems of plants and animals for form generation
Authors: Harani Arnis Rochma
Published: July 2023

This paper aims to explain learning strategies for deconstructing and reconstructing natural objects as hidden knowledge in nature for application in design studio pedagogy, particularly in developing architectural forms. Current discourse on nature-based architecture learning often places nature as a form of metaphor and analogy. This article presents various results of tracing natural systems, especially plants and animals, as a basis for learning architecture in the Basic Design studio at the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Diponegoro. The implementation of the design studio was conducted by groups of students who explore different types of plant and animal objects. The students were assigned to explore all the interesting aspects of the selected object's system in order to gain specific knowledge beyond the physical. The studio outputs demonstrate an exploration of new architectural forms based on the hidden knowledge of nature. The exploration method of this study follows the pedagogical process in the studio with data collection being carried out periodically through direct observation during model-making time. The learning result of this studio triggers students to be aware of the various hidden knowledge in the environment that can be used as a basic system for developing architectural forms.
Global Trends in Curriculum Reform and Development
Authors: Mitchell Brendan , Buntic Clare Gordon
Published: July 2023

Curriculum is generally understood to be that which defines what should be taught and learned in an education system, and the activities and experiences related to this. Curriculum reform and development is a trend globally as nations and states, and their education departments seek
to deliver future focused curricula to meet the challenges and needs presented in the 21st century. This article explores some of the definitions of curriculum and the place of knowledge in a curriculum. This sets the basis for discussing curriculum reform and development globally. This is
demonstrated in the global trend of curriculum change from curricula where knowledge is seen as specific subject facts, learned through transmission by the teacher to curricula where knowledge for application and problem solving is valued, acquired through a learning process of self-regulation
and collaboration. This enables the authors to identify challenges and processes in curriculum reform or development projects. The article discusses curriculum reform in many countries to improve quality of schooling and the production of human capital, has resulted in a policy shift away
from content-based curricula towards outcomes-based curricula, with an inclusion of skills and values, and learner-centred pedagogies.

Authors: Sangappa  , Rafi D. , Laxmi B. , Babu K. Srinivasa , Jha Sujeet K.
Published: July 2023

Aims: In India agriculture is the primary livelihood for small & marginal farmers and they are facing various challenges throughout the agricultural value chain from seed to delivering the final produce to consumer plate. To improve the fragmented supply chain and to support small & marginal farmers government has taken an initiative of Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs). FPOs are an important component of the government's efforts to support farmers and to address the challenges they face in the agricultural sector. FPOs also create a platform for peer learning, building social capital, and fostering a sense of community among millet farmers

Study Design:  Action type of research design.

Place and Duration of Study: ICAR-IIMR, Hyderabad during 2022.

Methodology: ICAR-IIMR is acting as CBBO to 41 millet FPOs in four states of which, Six FPOs distributed in Telangana (3) and Karnataka (3) were selected randomly for the present study which were implemented by NABARD, SFAC, NCDC and WDD. Action research design was used for collecting the data from millet farmers with the help of interview schedule. Problems faced by the FPOs in particular and farmers in general were analyzed in this study.

Results: ICAR-IIMR developed business models to its FPOs based on the regional context and with available resources. The success of FPOs requires assessing multiple factors and considering both quantitative and qualitative indicators. The experiences shared by millet FPOs will positively influence millet farming communities and contribute to the growth of millet cultivation. Establishing reliable market linkages, primary processing units and promoting value addition are crucial for the success of millet FPOs.

Conclusion: From the study it could be concluded that models and practices of successful FPOs may be replicated or scaled up in other regions, contributing to the broader promotion of millet farming and the formation of additional millet FPOs.
Ambulatory Management of Urinary Tract Infections in Children: Experience of the Pediatric Medical Emergency Department in Rabat
Authors: Ahmed S. Ait , Mekaoui Nour , Dakhama Badr Sououd Benjelloun , Karboubi Lamya
Published: July 2023

The aim of the study is to describe the clinical epidemiological characteristics and bacteriological profile of UTIs in infants and children, to determine the main risk factors for the occurrence of UTIs, and to identify the causes of UTIs urinary tract infections, to compare the interest of CRP and let procalcitonin assays for the diagnosis of febrile urinary tract infections as well as the interest of imaging (renal scintigraphy and ultrasound of the urinary tree) in the diagnosis of febrile urinary tract infections. This observational study of a cohort of 169 patients (children aged more than 28 days, 119 girls and 40 boys) conducted in the pediatric emergency department of the children's hospital of the university hospital of Rabat over a period of 6 months. The diagnosis of UTIs is based on the detection of germs in the urine, either indirectly by urine dipstick or by urine culture. However, the interpretation of microbiological results can be tricky: an inappropriate urine collection technique, particularly in neonates and young children, is a pitfall that the clinician must take into account to avoid misdiagnosing UTI, usually by over-diagnosis. The location of high UTI involving the renal parenchyma or low UTI limited to the bladder, which determines the morbidity of the infection, the therapeutic management and the imaging work-up, remains a matter of debate. DMSA renal scintigraphy, the reference examination in the case of high UTI, cannot be recommended as a first-line examination because of its cost and the practical difficulties of performing it. Biological markers of inflammation (leucocytosis, CRP, procalcitonin) do not always allow the diagnosis of ANP to be made with certainty.

Infants sampled at six weeks at the HIV MTCT prevention units were tested at the Military Health Research Center for HIV-1 RNA early detection through rtPCR with Abbott m2000sp automated system. Multivariate logistic regression model was built to assess the predictors of MTCT and to compare groups.

Results: Within the study period, the overall HIV-1 prevalence in the 107 six weeks old reference group infants and 23 control group infants was nil and 4.35% (1/23) respectively. Logistic regression showed that predictors of HIV-1 MTCT were: home delivery p=0.03 and absence of ART during pregnancy p = 0.04.

Conclusion: Vertical transmission of HIV-1 infection is more likely in ART naïve pregnant women as compared to their counterparts established on ART. Hence, implementation of the Option B+ appear to be very essential in eliminating HIV-1 MTCT. Consequently, a systematic enrolment of these pregnant women living with HIV if scaled up, would be very instrumental in eliminating HIV-1 MTCT in Cameroon.

The field experiment was conducted in RBD with three replications at farmer's field which is located at Vagarai village, Dindigul district during February to May 2023 for refining the already existing Fertilizer Prescription Equations (FPEs) of hybrid pearl millet, which has been developed for Periyanaikenpalayam series to suit Palaviduthi soil series (Typic Rhodustalf). The performance of the pearl millet TNAU hybrid CO 10 was evaluated. The results of the experiment revealed that highest grain yield obtained from STCR - IPNS - 4.0 t ha-1, where farmyard manure along with inorganic fertilizers were combinedly applied. From the experimental data, basic parameters viz., nutrient requirement (NR), percent contribution of nutrients from soil (Cs), fertilizers (Cf) and FYM (Cfym) were computed. It has been found that the nutrient requirement for producing one quintal grain of pearl millet was 2.23 kg of N, 1.19 kg of P2O5, and 2.22 kg of K2O. The percent contribution from soil (Cs) and fertilizers (Cf) were 15.7 and 47.1 for N, 32.09 and 45.06 for P2O5, 10.04 and 66.71 for K2O respectively. Percent contribution from FYM was 36.09 for N, 16.84 for P2O5 and 33.29 for K2O. FPEs for Pearl millet were generated using these basic parameters through the Soil Test Crop Response based Integrated Plant Nutrition System (STCR-IPNS). Applying FYM at 12.5 t ha-1 combined with NPK fertilizers, was projected to result in a saving of 40, 21, and 27 kilograms of fertilizer N, P2O5, and K2O, respectively. Soil test-based fertilizer recommendations and integrated plant nutrient management will help farmers to conserve fertilizers as well as sustain soil health and high rates of productivity.

The Present investigation was undertaken to study the genetic variability, correlation and path analysis of twelve quantitative traits in Twenty Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) lines. The experiment material was evaluated in a randomized block design with three replications. The analysis of variance showed significant difference among genotype for all the characters. Results from the study indicated that heritability was high for all traits studied. Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were low to medium for all the traits studied and genetic advance as percent of mean showed low to high values for most of the traits studied. Path coefficient at phenotypic and genotypic level revealed direct positive effect on seed yield per plant for about 50% of the traits studied. The significance for these results and their basis for selection of improved Indian mustard lines for further breeding in the program were discussed.

Chemical fertilizers primarily focus on providing a few essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK), neglecting other micronutrients required for healthy plant growth. This imbalance can lead to nutrient deficiencies in plants and subsequently in the food produced. Contributing to better food security and improved nutrition for the growing population, these organic manures and biofertilizers provide essential nutrients to the plants, improving their nutrient content and overall nutritional quality, which are highly valuable for addressing the nutritional needs of a growing population. Contrarily, imbalanced nutrition decreases productivity and deteriorates soil fertility, inturn increases the cost of cultivation. This problem can be only solved by quantifying biofertilizer integration with organic nutrients. With this in mind, an experiment was conducted in 2021 at the crop research center of the ITM University's School of Agriculture in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. Using a randomized block design with three replications of three different organic manures and bio-fertilizers. There are ten distinct treatments (from T1 to T10). Different types of organic manures and biofertilizers had a substantial impact on nutrition intake. The highest nutrient uptake (N, P, K, and Zn) was achieved when NADEP-2 t/ha + PSB-2.5 lit/ha (T7) was applied in a manner comparable to the absolute control, that is, without the treatment of organic manures and biofertilizer. Furthermore, economics of different treatment, the maximum gross returns (Rs 1,48,995 ha-1), net returns (Rs 1,11,335 ha-1) and B:C ratio (2.95) was recorded under treatment T7 for Urd bean.

Authors: Kiowi Lucy Odo
Published: July 2023

This study examined the effect of human resource strategy formulation process on HR strategy outcome. Drawing on three modes of strategy formulation process namely rational, adaptive, and interactive, a cross-sectional research design was adopted. Using structured questionnaires, data were collected from HR managers/ directors from 53 state corporations in Tanzania. Correlations analysis was also performed to find out the direction of the relationship among study variables. Multiple regression analysis was employed to test a number of hypothesized relationships. A request for HR strategy document was made to State Corporations if one existed. Findings indicates that 18 out of 53 had HR strategy document and 34 had none. Results further demonstrate that rational HR strategy formulation accounted for 22.6 and adaptive HR strategy explained 6.3 percent of the variation in HR strategy outcome, while interactive human resource strategy has no significant relationship with human resource strategy outcome. This study concludes that the outcome of HR strategies in the public sector organizations is the function of rational and adaptive HR strategy formulation processes and that very few have documents of HR strategies. Public sector organization are urged to adopt interactive HR strategy formulation process to easy implementation of the HR strategy.
