¿Es posible una constitución política para la sociedad mundial pluralista?
Authors: Habermas Jürgen
Published: November 2023

El artículo plantea la necesidad de re-pensar la idea de un orden cosmopolita, elaborando el proyecto kantiano en términos abstractos. Para ello muestra el carácter incompleto de la alternativa entre una república mundial y una sociedad de naciones. Seguidamente, esboza la forma en que podemos volver a conceptualizar el proyecto kantiano según las condiciones actuales. Finalmente, aborda un desafío real (déficit de legitimación de las formas de gobierno, sociedad mundial de mercado) ante el cual el proyecto de un orden cosmopolita puede ofrecer la respuesta más prometedora.
Proporcionalidad y elaboración suareciana de la atribución intrínseca como fundamento filosófico de la analogia iuris y de la analogia legis
Authors: Salguero Salguero Manuel
Published: November 2023

En este artículo se entremezclan las construcciones clásicas de la analogía con estructuras jurídico-positivas que se hacen hoy presentes en la interpretación y aplicación del derecho. El marco de referencia de estos vínculos no puede ser otro que el de una ontología de la relación. Una vez esclarecidas las diferentes elaboraciones doctrinales, se pretende justificar, en primer lugar, que la “analogía de proporcionalidad intrínseca”, cuyo origen se encuentra en la tradición tomista, constituye el fundamento filosófico de la “analogia iuris”, tal como hoy se concibe esta figura en el ámbito de la Teoría del derecho. En segundo lugar, en este trabajo se sostiene que la “analogía de atribución intrínseca”, cuyo origen se encuentra en el genio creador del pensamiento de Suárez, constituye el fundamento filosófico de la analogía legis, tal como se encuentra actualmente regulada esta figura en el Código Civil español.

1. Bioética y Filosofía del derechoEste número de la revista ACFS está dedicado a la bioética y eso constituye un acontecimiento importante tanto para la filosofía del derecho como para la bioética, ya que implica reconocer oficialmente —en una revista filosófico-jurídica de tanta raigambre en nuestro país— que los temas de la bioética son parte de la filosofía del derecho. Para muchos es algo obvio, ya que la bioética se ocupa de analizar las implicaciones éticas, jurídicas y sociales de los descubrimientos científicos y las aplicaciones biotecnológicas y de proponer pautas justas para su tratamiento,...
Maternidad subrogada: dilemas éticos y aproximación a sus respuestas jurídicas
Authors: García Rubio María Paz , Herrero Oviedo Margarita
Published: November 2023

La maternidad subrogada constituye uno de los temas más controvertidos entre los muchos de esta índole que afectan al uso y disposición del cuerpo de la mujer. Razones de índole ética, sociológica y jurídica convergen para argumentar a favor y en contra de una práctica que, queramos o no, se halla cada vez más extendida. Al igual que sucede en otros temas relacionados con el cuerpo femenino, como el aborto o la prostitución, las diferentes posturas están cada vez más distanciadas y los márgenes para alcanzar puntos de encuentro resultan demasiado estrechos. Estamos convencidas de que el primer deber académico es huir de una neutralidad simple que a todos contente; pronunciarse con argumentos es la tarea que nos corresponde y el que, a sabiendas del riesgo que corremos y de que nuestra postura tampoco puede ser definitiva, este trabajo pretende.
Igualdad y diferencia en relación con las personas con discapacidad. (Una crítica a la Observación General n.º 1 (2014) del Comité (UN) de los derechos de las personas con discapacidad)
Authors: Alemany Macario
Published: November 2023

Este artículo es una crítica a la Observación General n.º 1 (2014) del Comité de Naciones Unidas sobre los derechos de las personas con discapacidad, relativa a la interpretación correcta del artículo 12 de la Convención de Naciones Unidas sobre las personas con discapacidad.Con esta Observación, el Comité asume una ideología sobre los derechos de las personas con discapacidad que no es comúnmente aceptada. Esta ideología se basa en las tres tesis siguientes: 1) se apoya el “modelo social” de la discapacidad frente al tradicional “modelo medico”; 2) no se considera a la discapacidad un mal (o un daño) o, incluso, se afirma su valor positivo a través de la noción de “diversidad funcional”; y 3) se tratan conjuntamente todas las formas de discapacidad, en particular no se distingue, para interpretar el art. 12 de la Convención, entre la discapacidad mental y otros tipos de discapacidad. De acuerdo con el Comité, se trataría de un “cambio de paradigma” exigido por el respeto a la dignidad de las personas con discapacidad. En el texto se critican estas tesis y la concepción de la dignidad subyacente. En opinión del autor, no cabe prescindir del concepto biomédico de enfermedad y discapacidad, es necesario tratar de forma diferente a las discapacidades mentales de otras que no suelen conllevar incapacidad para tomar decisiones, la enfermedad o la discapacidad sí cabe entenderla como un mal o un daño (que debe ser superado) pero no entraña un desprecio moral para el enfermo o el discapacitado y, finalmente, es un error reducir la dignidad a la autonomía personal.

Democracias iliberales
Authors: Delsol Chantal
Published: November 2023

El despliegue casi generalizado de las democracias iliberales en el centro de Europa es inquietante. La mayoría de esos países (Polonia, Hungría, República Checa, Eslovaquia) están afectados pero, en esos mismos países, abundan los partidos extremistas, además de los que están en el poder. En Eslovaquia, hay varios partidos nacionalistas, algunos de ellos muy radicales. En Hungría, el partido Jobbik deja a Orban por moderado. El fenómeno es amplio y profundo. Como consecuencia, aumentan las disensiones entre la Europa occidental y la Europa central. La incomprensión viene de lejos y no lo habíamos advertido…

PACTO DE ESTADO CONTRA EL MACHISMO
Authors: Lorente Acosta Miguel
Published: November 2023

La violencia de género (VG) es consecuencia de la cultura androcéntrica que define las identidades y los roles de hombres y mujeres. Esta construcción socio-cultural establece la desigualdad como un factor limitante y de control para las mujeres, y a partir de ella desarrolla mecanismos para alcanzar sus objetivos, entre ellos la violencia.

Suestructuralidad se demuestra cuando situaciones como la pandemia tienen un impacto directo sobre ella, y diferente al resto de las violencias interpersonales. Pero también por las estrategias políticas y sociales que niegan su realidad (negacionismo),a pesar de la objetividad de los 60 homicidios de mujeres y los 5 de niños y niñas que se producen de mediacada año.

Todo ello indica que para erradicar la VG es necesario ampliar el pacto de Estado para hacerlo contra el “machismo”, es decir, contra la construcción cultural que la integra como parte de la normalidad para luegocuestionar determinados resultados por su gravedad, al tiempo que los explica y justifica a través de mitos y estereotipos.

SilicH2O: a graphical user interface for processing silicate glass Raman spectra and quantifying H2O
Authors: Van Gerve Thomas Daniel , Namur Olivier
Published: November 2023

H2O contents of magmas strongly impact the explosivity of volcanic eruptions, as well as their rheological properties and crystallisation behaviour. Accurate analyses of H2O in magmatic liquids are therefore vital for our understanding of the dynamics of magmatic processes and eruptions. Raman spectroscopy provides an accessible, affordable and high spatial resolution technique for estimating H2O contents of magmas that have been quenched to a glass during eruption. However, calculating H2O concentrations from Raman spectra involves manual data processing and results are therefore sensitive to the specific treatment used. SilicH2O is an open-source software program that uniformises and streamlines this process by providing an interactive graphical user-interface. It can be used to: (a) process Raman spectra of silicate glasses, (b) remove any unwanted peaks through interpolation and unmixing, (c) set up H2O calibrations with reference materials and (d) quantify H2O contents of unknown samples.

Developing an Online Test Battery for Testing EFL Pragmatic Competence: What Can It Tell Us?
Authors: Rahman Fadhlur , Yuzar Ella , Zhou Wanying
Published: November 2023

This study aims to develop a practical and reliable test to assess second language pragmatic knowledge as well as to investigate the effect of study abroad experience and proficiency level on EFL learners’ pragmatic competence. A total 59 participants, consisting of 34 females and 29 males, were categorized into groups based on their exposure to the target language and proficiency. The results show that the reliability of the test reaches ?=.798 which means it is acceptable for a language test. Further development of test items is required to achieve more adequate test reliability. The findings also suggest that learners' pragmatic knowledge can be influenced by both study-abroad experience and linguistic competence. These factors may contribute to learners' ability to appropriately respond to pragmatic utterances from the test. Thus, language learners should focus on increasing their linguistic proficiency to enhance their understanding and use of pragmatic language. This study underscores the importance of designing effective language pragmatic tests that incorporate a variety of pragmatics components and comprehensive instruments to achieve the desired test reliability and validity.

The Issues of Teaching English in Elementary School Based on Students Engagement: Exploring Teachers’ Perspective
Authors: Noor Zulfikar , Kembaren Farida Repelita Waty
Published: November 2023

The English-teaching problem is a significant issue that has been discussed in various contexts around the world, including English teachers’ issues, students’ assessments, curricula and textbooks, and the various variables that contribute to effective English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching. As a result, the purpose of the study is to explore 10 participants' perspectives on issues of teaching English in ELT classrooms. The purpose of this descriptive qualitative study is to investigate how teachers perceived the English teaching issue in relation to the students involved. Data were collected using an interview that included a single primary question about teaching English. Then, the data was analyzed by using content analysis. This study came to three major conclusions: (1) Learner motivation issues, (2) A problem with attitude, (3) An issue with the support system. Finally, problems with teaching English should not be underestimated because they have a significant impact on how well teachers teach the language in elementary schools. Teachers must be aware of their shortcomings in order to continually improve their teaching skills without becoming complacent.
Rater Severity/Leniency and Bias in EFL Students' Composition Using Many-Facet Rasch Measurement (MFRM)
Authors: Rahman Yenni Arif , Apriyanti Fitri , Nurdini Rahmi Aulia
Published: November 2023

The study aims to investigate the extent to which raters exhibit tendencies towards being overly severe, lenient, or even bias when evaluating students' writing compositions in Indonesia. Data were collected from 15 student essays and four raters with master's degrees in English education. The Many-facet Rasch measurement (MFRM), automatized by Minifac software, a program created for the Many-facet Rasch measurement, was used for data analysis. This was done by meticulously dissecting the assessment process into its distinct components—raters, essay items, and the specific traits or criteria being evaluated in the writing rubric. Each rater's level of severity or leniency, essentially how strict or lenient they are in assigning scores, is scrutinized. Likewise, the potential biases that raters might introduce into the grading process are carefully examined. The findings revealed that, while the raters used the rubric consistently when scoring all test takers, they varied in how lenient or severe they were. Scores of 70 were given more frequently than the other score. Based on the findings, composition raters may differ in how they rate students which potentially leading to student dissatisfaction, particularly when raters adopt severe scoring. The bias in scoring has highlighted that certain raters consistently tend to inaccurately score items, deviating from the established criteria (traits). Furthermore, the study also found that having more than four items/criteria (content, diction, structure, and mechanic) is essential to achieve a more diverse distribution of item difficulty and effectively measure students' writing abilities. These results are valuable for writing departments to improve the oversight of inter-rater reliability and rating consistency. To address this issue, implementing rater training is suggested as the most feasible method to ensure more dependable and consistent evaluations.

Decoding Social Sentiment in DAO: A Comparative Analysis of Blockchain Governance Communities
Authors: Quan Yutong , Wu Xintong , Deng Wanlin , Zhang Luyao
Published: November 2023

Blockchain technology is leading a revolutionary transformation across diverse industries, with effective governance standing as a critical determinant for the success and sustainability of blockchain projects. Community forums, pivotal in engaging decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), wield a substantial impact on blockchain governance decisions. Concurrently, Natural Language Processing (NLP), particularly sentiment analysis, provides powerful insights from textual data. While prior research has explored the potential of NLP tools in social media sentiment analysis, a gap persists in understanding the sentiment landscape of blockchain governance communities. The evolving discourse and sentiment dynamics on the forums of top DAOs remain largely unknown. This paper delves deep into the evolving discourse and sentiment dynamics on the public forums of leading DeFi projects—Aave, Uniswap, Curve Dao, Aragon, Yearn.finance, Merit Circle, and Balancer—placing a primary focus on discussions related to governance issues. Despite differing activity patterns, participants across these decentralized communities consistently express positive sentiments in their Discord discussions, indicating optimism towards governance decisions. Additionally, our research suggests a potential interplay between discussion intensity and sentiment dynamics, indicating that higher discussion volumes may contribute to more stable and positive emotions. The insights gained from this study are valuable for decision-makers in blockchain governance, underscoring the pivotal role of sentiment analysis in interpreting community emotions and its evolving impact on the landscape of blockchain governance. This research significantly contributes to the interdisciplinary exploration of the intersection of blockchain and society, with a specific emphasis on the decentralized blockchain governance ecosystem.

The Impact of Climate Change on Plant Pathogens
Authors: Egon Kaledio , Oloyede Joseph Oluwaseyi
Published: November 2023

Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges of our time, with far-reaching consequences for ecosystems, agriculture, and human societies. Among the myriad effects of climate change, the impact on plant pathogens is a critical but often overlooked aspect. This abstract provides an overview of the complex and multifaceted relationship between climate change and plant pathogens, emphasizing its potential consequences for agriculture and food security.As the Earth's climate undergoes significant shifts in temperature, precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events, plant pathogens are also affected. Rising temperatures and altered humidity levels can create more favorable conditions for the proliferation and spread of various pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. These changes can lead to increased disease incidence and severity in both crop plants and natural ecosystems.Changes in precipitation patterns and increased water stress in some regions can exacerbate or mitigate plant pathogen pressures, depending on the specific pathogen and host species. Additionally, climate change-induced disruptions in ecosystems and natural habitats can influence the dynamics of pathogen reservoirs and vectors.The impact of climate change on plant pathogens extends beyond the immediate threat to crops. Altered disease dynamics can lead to shifts in plant species composition, affect ecosystem stability, and contribute to the loss of biodiversity. Furthermore, the increased use of pesticides to combat the growing threat of plant diseases may have adverse environmental and human health consequences.Addressing the challenges posed by the interaction between climate change and plant pathogens is crucial. Adaptation strategies, such as the development of disease-resistant crop varieties and improved disease management practices, are essential to mitigate the negative effects on agriculture and food security. Furthermore, a holistic approach that considers the broader environmental and ecological implications of these changes is needed to ensure the long-term sustainability of our ecosystems and agricultural systems.

Anticipated imitation of multiple agents
Authors: Galang Carl Michael Orquiola , Cracco Emiel , Brass Marcel
Published: November 2023

It is well-established that people tend to mimic one another's actions, a crucial aspect of social interactions. Anticipating imitation has been shown to boost motor activation and reaction times for congruent actions. However, prior research predominantly focused on dyads, leaving gaps in our knowledge regarding group dynamics. This study addresses this gap, conducting three experiments using extensive online data collected from April to October, 2022. Participants engaged in anticipated imitation tasks with one versus three virtual agents. The results across all three experiments (n = 77; n = 239; n = 457) consistently support the existence of an anticipated imitation effect, with faster reaction times for congruent actions. Furthermore, the research unveils a social facilitation effect, with participants reacting more swiftly when anticipating three agents compared to one. However, we did not find the expected increase of the congruency effect with multiple agents; rather, the data indicates that anticipating multiple agents instead decreases this effect. These findings are discussed within the framework of ideomotor theory, offering insights into how they relate to recent research on the automatic imitation of multiple agents.
The rewards and the risks of using naturalistic images. How form, motion, and temporal information differentially contribute to subjective action understanding.
Authors: Smekal Vojtěch , Poyo Solanas Marta , de Gelder Beatrice
Published: November 2023

We investigated the factors underlying naturalistic action recognition and understanding, as well as the errors occurring during recognition failures. Participants saw full-light stimuli of ten different whole-body actions presented in three different conditions: as normal videos, as videos with the temporal order of the frames scrambled, and as single static representative frames. After each stimulus presentation participants completed one of two tasks - a forced choice task where they were given the ten potential action labels as options, or a free description task, where they could describe the action performed in each stimulus in their own words. While generally, a combination of form, motion, and temporal information led to the highest action understanding, for some actions form information was sufficient and adding motion and temporal information did not increase recognition accuracy. We also analysed errors in action recognition and found primarily two different types. One type of errors was on the semantic level, while the other consisted of reverting to the kinematic level of body part processing without any attribution of semantics. We elaborate on these results in the context of naturalistic action perception.
What is a psychopathology dimension?
Authors: Hopwood Christopher James , Markon Kristian Eric , Morey Leslie C.
Published: November 2023

Coherence in the science and practice of mental health assessment depends upon a tight connection between psychopathology concepts that are used and the way those concepts are operationalized and defined. In contrast, the use of the same word to mean more than one thing contributes to incoherence, inefficiency, and confusion. In this paper, we review three possible meanings of the word “dimension” as it relates to the assessment of psychopathology and describe how the indiscriminate use of this word has caused confusion in the general context of the transition to a more evidence-based approach to mental health diagnosis. We attempt to disambiguate the term “dimension” by demarcating three concepts that can be distinguished based on different empirical standards: continuous variables, unidimensional dimensions, and distinct dimensions.
The Relationship Between Racial Microaggressions and Multiracial Identity Turbulence
Authors: Paulsen Aimy P.
Published: November 2023

Efforts to understand the development of Multiracial identity have gained traction in recent years, with studies focusing on different socialization factors to explain the common struggles that Multiracial individuals face. This online cross-sectional study sought to understand the association between microaggression experiences and Multiracial identity. I recruited 140 adults who were proficient in English and identified with two or more races to explore the relationship between racial microaggressions, challenges in Multiracial identity, and how they are racialized by others—street race. Microaggressions are subtle, ambiguous, or unintentional slights that can cause stress in marginalized individuals. For this study, Multiracial identity turbulence (MIT) is when individuals with two or more races feel indifferent, uncertain, or insecure about their racial identity. I hypothesized that MIT would positively correlate with microaggression experiences (H1) and also with observed microaggressions happening to family members (H2). It was expected that participants who indicated their street race as “White” would report less microaggressions than others (H3). Lastly, I expected that individuals who responded differently to the self-perceived race and street race measures would have higher levels of MIT (H4). Although the first two hypotheses were not supported, creating categorical subgroupings revealed a two-way interaction between identity types and street race on the microaggressions variable. I also explored MIT as a continuous variable. These findings may promote a deeper understanding of the diverse and nuanced experiences of Multiracial individuals for families, researchers, and mental health practitioners working with this population.

The paper is a study on library orientation as a predictor of library use among freshers in two selected academic libraries in Kwara State, Nigeria. The survey design was used for this study with a total population of two thousand and ten (2,010) registered students from Summit University, Offa (94) and Federal Polytechnic Offa (1916) for the 2021/2022 academic session. Two stage sampling technique was used in the study. The first stage selected departments similar to each of the institutions, these departments are Accounting, Business Administration, Banking and Finance, Computer Science and Mass Communication. The second stage involved the use of sampling fraction of 20% to select the sample size from each of the selected departments. This, therefore, gave a total sampling size of 201. Out of 201 questionnaires distributed to respondents, 200 questionnaires (representing 99.5%) were returned and found valid for analysis. The data collected were analysed using frequency table and mean. The hypothesis was tested using linear regression. Findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between library orientation and utilisation of library resources among newly admitted students in selected institutions in Kwara State, Nigeria. The findings showed the challenges confronting library orientation in academic libraries in Kwara State including but not limited to over population, and lack of instructional materials, among others. It was recommended that library orientation programmes in academic libraries of this nature should be imposed on newly admitted students. Library staff should adopt regular interaction with students and be willing to help and have a user-friendly disposition with them in their quest for services.
Lesão Cortoperfurante complicada numa Enfermeira dos Cuidados de Saúde Primários: um Relato de Caso
Authors: Correia Rita , António Carolina , Palhau Raquel , Marafona Rita
Published: November 2023

Introduction Accidents at work resulted from sharp injuries are frequent and preventable events among health care professionals. The prevalence of secondary infection depends on several factors related to the patient itself, the health care worker and the adherence to preventive protocols. In this article, the authors pretend to present a case report of an accident involving a primary health care professional that suffered a sharp injury and, also, to alert about the significance of appropriately reporting. Case Description Woman, 54 years old, a nurse in primary care with 27 years of experience. Background history, among others, ulcerative colitis under immunosuppressive therapy. At the end of shift, she cuts herself with a contaminated scalpel blade while draining a panaritium, resulting in a superficial wound in the second finger of right hand. Notification of the occurrence was made 36 hours after the accident due to the development of local cellulitis. Later, the infection complicated with likely osteomyelitis. Two cycles of antibiotic therapy have been completed and the imagiological revaluation showed bone integrity and signs of tenosynovitis of the second finger flexors. The nurse is absent from work for 15 weeks and awaits a Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine evaluation. Discussion Health care professionals are at greater risk of accident at work, namely, of suffering sharp objects injuries. According to the literature, accidents of this nature are more frequent among female nurses and occur mainly on hands, as in the case described. Among the factors that increase the probability of these occurrences are the high workload and the number of hours worked. Standing out as a particularity of this case is the acquired immunodeficiency secondary to methotrexate therapy as the main condition of the more prolonged disease. This AW had an impact on the professional and the dynamics of the work team, with the need to adjust tasks and temporarily hire another professional. Conclusion As sharp injuries are frequent and preventable, it is important to encourage their reporting. On one hand, to protect the health of injured professionals and on the other hand, so that preventive and corrective measures can be developed. Additionally, it is relevant to know the history of the patient, of the health care professional and the mechanism of injury, to stratify the risk of associated secondary infection. In conclusion, the cooperation of Occupational Health services with other health professionals is important for the adequate management of occupational risks.

INTRODUCTION The occurrence of outbreaks of scabies in hospitals has been serving as an alert to the importance of early diagnosis and correct approach by Occupational Health services. OBJECTIVES Review the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of scabies, as well as describe the approach taken by Occupational Health services in the face of scabies outbreaks. METHODOLOGY Review of the topic in the scientific database (PubMed), using the search terms “scabies”, “diagnosis”, “treatment” and “outbreak” anywhere in the text. Only reviews published in the last five years and available for full reading were included. RESULTS Scabies (commonly known as human scabies) is a parasitic skin infection caused by a mite that only infects humans, called Sarcoptes scabei, variety hominis. Transmission occurs by direct skin-to-skin contact or through contaminated fomites (as bedding, towels, among others). There are two clinical variants, the classic and the crusted (or Norwegian). First-line treatments are topical permethrin and oral ivermectin. Occupational Health plays a key role in addressing and controlling outbreaks in health institutions. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Early detection of infected individuals, with due isolation in the case of crusted scabies; adequate and frequent cleaning of clothes; simultaneous treatment of all patients, professionals and family members who may have been exposed and continuous surveillance of affected professionals until cure are key aspects for controlling outbreaks. KEYWORDS: Scabies, Outbreaks, Diagnosis, Treatment, Occupational Health, Occupational Nursing and Occupational Medicine.
Beyond Capitalism: Imagining Life After Ruin
Authors: Young Molly
Published: November 2023

This article approaches the climate crisis as a crisis of imagination, building upon post-capitalist thought and Mark Fisher’s ‘capitalist realism’ to outline a framework for imagining beyond the capitalist present. Beginning with Maroš Krivý’s examination of Estonian wastelands and adjacent nationalism, the article argues that a society’s identity and imagination depend upon its relationship with history. Modern-day ruins become a conceptual space for situating ‘precarity’ in the present, entangling humans with extra-human nature and dismantling perceived economic homogeneity under capitalism. Anna Tsing’s ethnographic study of Open Ticket Oregon underpins its conclusions, as do Roy Scranton’s notions of death and rebirth. This article sits alongside emerging ‘degrowth’ and ‘prefigurative’ discourses to critique certain post-capitalist perspectives failing to provide alternatives or give space to economic diversity. Ultimately, it valorises ‘pericapitalist’ spaces as an intermediary step between present-day capitalism and a future beyond ruin.
Effects of Pedagogical Questioning on Singaporean Young Children’s Learning of Novel Categories
Authors: Chwee Yun Hui
Published: November 2023

There has been a longstanding debate about the advantages and disadvantages of two polarities of teaching methods: direct instruction and discovery learning. Research has shown that questioning might be a viable pedagogical method that combines the advantages of both. When pre-schoolers in the US explored a novel toy with multiple hidden functions, pedagogical questions – questions asked by a knowledgeable teacher who aims to guide children towards learning – have been shown to facilitate more learning and exploration compared to direct instruction or questions asked by a naïve confederate. The current study investigated whether these effects can be observed in Singaporean children’s learning of novel categories. A total of 30 children aged 5–7 (M = 6.51, SD = 0.45) were recruited and randomly assigned to four conditions. In all conditions, children were asked to find out the rule for categorising two types of novel robots by exploring exemplars. Before children started exploring, a hint was given either by a teacher in the form of a direct instruction, by the teacher through a question, by a confederate through a question, or not given. We then measured how much the children explored the exemplars and whether they categorised new cards and identified the rules correctly. Results showed no significant difference between any of the four conditions, which may be due to the small sample size. If a larger sample can confirm the research hypotheses, it will have implications on teachers’ choice of pedagogical methods in early childhood education.
Disorders of aqueous humor flow in the posterior part of the eye in the mechanisms of optic nerve damage development (literature review)
Authors: Мойсеєнко Н. М.
Published: November 2023

The study based on the literature search revealed that the peculiarities of fluid circulation in the posterior part of the eye have been studied insufficiently compared to the anterior part. It is suggested that the retina and optic nerve have their own cleansing system, which functions independently or in interaction with the brain's cleansing system. Of interest is the theory of the glymphatic system of the eye, which probably functions similarly to the glymphatic system of the brain, has four segments and ensures the exchange between intraocular, intracranial and interstitial fluids and the removal of metabolic waste products in the posterior part of the eye.
Purpose. To determine the disorders of fluid circulation in the posterior part of the eye in the mechanisms of optic nerve damage development according to the literature.
Methods: literature search of 48 sources.
It is important to understand that the optic nerve under normal conditions passes a large amount of fluid from the eye to the brain and vice versa. The balance of perfusion (and, presumably, reperfusion in case of pathology) is ensured by the lamina cribrosa, the location of subarachnoid spaces in different parts of the nerve, and the AQP4 channels that support them.
The question is whether the optic nerve has its own separate glymphatic system, or whether it interacts with the glymphatic system of the brain. It also remains unclear how the circulation of intraocular fluid, interstitial fluid of the retina and brain, and cerebrospinal fluid in the optic nerve is coordinated with blood, as well as with fluctuations in atmospheric pressure. Although this theory has not yet been recognized, it nevertheless has many supporters who explain optic nerve damage as a result of fluid circulation disturbances.
The slowing of fluid flow, as well as the slowing of axonal transport, can be considered as the moment when neuropathy transforms into optic atrophy.
That is why the study of the peculiarities of fluid flow and exchange in the posterior part of the eye is important when studying diseases of the optic nerve, whereas the correction of such circulation disorders could be used for therapeutic purposes.
Conclusion. Impaired fluid circulation in the posterior part of the eye can occur in mechanisms of optic nerve damage. Improved diagnostics with the ability to assess hydrodynamics will help to understand the role of individual components, while their correction will likely contribute to the optic nerve recovery.
