Authors: Laxmi Devi Bethari , Nurkumalawati Intan , Mastur Anida Sri Rahayu
Published: October 2024

Good governance is an important principle that must be integrated into every institution that provides public services, including the Immigration office of Soekarno Hatta, Indonesia. One of the latest innovations introduced at this office is the passport expediting service. In implementation, there are several technical and operational obstacles that need to be improved. This research uses a descriptive approach by collecting primary data and secondary data. Data collection was carried out in the Office Area on the 4th Floor of the International Terminal 3 Parking Building at Soekarno Hatta International Airport for seven months. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using data reduction methods, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The passport acceleration service at the    Immigration office of Soekarno Hatta, Indonesia has been running well and implementing the principles of good governance. However, several obstacles still arise, including limited community participation, the problem of duplicating passports, and the need to improve facilities and infrastructure. The passport printing system is also a challenge, along with the limited number of officers in the Passport Acceleration Service Unit (UP3). The passport shortage service at the TPI Soekarno Hatta Special Class I Immigration Office has fulfilled most of the indicators of good governance principles. To improve service operations, steps are needed such as providing discussion space for the public and public service providers, providing information and education to passport applicants to reduce duplication, as well as improving facilities and infrastructure. Evaluation of needs in UP3 is also important to ensure suitability with field implementation.

MEMERANGI CYBERCRIME DAN TPPO PEKERJA MIGRAN INDONESIA (PMI) NON-PROSEDURAL KE KAMBOJA
Authors: Sugiyono Arief Febriansyah , Runturambi Arthur Josias Simon
Published: October 2024

Belakangan aspek dalam TPPO ikut mengalami transformasi seiring dengan kemajuan teknologi komputer dan jaringan internet tersebut sehingga membuat TPPO juga terhubung menjadi bagian dalam kejahatan cybercrime. Teknologi seolah membuka pintu bagi jaringan perdagangan orang di dunia maya sebagai jalan bagi para pelaku untuk merekrut, mengeksploitasi dan mengendalikan para korbannya. Pada bulan Mei 2023 yang lalu Kementerian Luar Negeri RI menyampaikan bahwa pemerintah telah memulangkan 1.138 warga negara Indonesia korban perdagangan orang yang dipekerjakan pada perusahaan situs judi online, situs porno dan online scam di Kamboja. Kondisi ini setidaknya dapat memberikan gambaran tentang situasi aktual TPPO yang terhubung dengan cybercrime kepada masyarakat nasional maupun internasional. Oleh karena itu kejahatan perdagangan orang dengan modus ini harus dipandang sebagai kejahatan serius karena dapat mengancam keamanan nasional dan global. Imigrasi Indonesia memiliki peran yang cukup signifikan dengan melakukan upaya pencegahan keberangkatan baik di perbatasan maupun pintu-pintu perlintasan sebagai filter terakhir dalam memerangi kejahatan cybercrime dan TPPO.

Authors: Sineri Timothi , Yusuf Muhammad Choirul , Riyadi Sarina , Gibran Teuku Atsil Syah
Published: October 2024

Dalam konteks ketahanan nasional, perbatasan negara merupakan aspek vital yang tidak luput dari pertimbangan suatu negara. Pemerintah Indonesia melalui instansi imigrasi memiliki urgensi tersendiri dalam mengawal perbatasan fisik yang secara geografis bersinggungan secara langsung dengan batas terestrial negara lain layaknya Malaysia, Timor Leste, dan Papua Nugini. Perbatasan Tradisional Skouw menjadi lokus paling timur dari wilayah Indonesia yang berdekatan dengan Papua Nugini, yang berarti menjadi atensi khusus bagi keimigrasian Indonesia beserta aparatur penegak hukum lainnya untuk melakukan pengamanan, penegakan hukum, hingga pertimbangan atas strategi yang efisien untuk menjaga kedaulatan negara dari potensi ancaman dan gangguan keamanan. Problematika yang menjadi sorotan secara yuridis adalah kerawanan dari titik Perbatasan Skouw terhadap tindak pidana kompleks terkait Transnational Organized Crime (TOC). Dalih perbaikan ekonomi dan tawaran kepada para korban perdagangan orang, penyelundupan manusia, dan varian lain yang turut memuluskan modus operandi dari TOC menjadi fenomena yang kerap terjadi di perbatasan darat suatu negara. Dengan demikian, Instansi Imigrasi beserta stakeholders lainnya harus siaga dalam hal pemberlakuan strategi ataupun mekanisme prosedural yang memadai dalam menekan lonjakan tindak kejahatan terhadap kemanusiaan di Perbatasan Skouw.

Judgement Prediction of Government Employee’s Retirement Benefits Cases using TensorFlow Decision Forests
Authors: Et.al Vijay Shanker Pandey
Published: October 2024

A judgement prediction model with TensorFlow Decision Forests (DF) is a machine learning model that uses decision trees as the building blocks for classification and forecasting of writ petition. The TensorFlow library provides tools for implementing and training decision forests, which are collections of decision trees, in order to make predictions. In this paper we analyze the basic description of the retirement benefits matters like grant of pension on superannuation, family pension, commutation of pension, gratuity, group insurance saving fund, leave encashment and superannuation, provident fund which are filed in appropriate Courts/Tribunals. The outcome is either “Allowed” or “Dismissed”. Rarely “Partly Allowed” petitions are treated as “Allowed”. TensorFlow DF looks a better choice which applied on labeled dataset based on factors affecting the outcomes of cases. The objective of this paper is to classify and forecast the outcome whether a filed petition will be ‘allowed, or ‘dismissed using TensorFlow DF, a supervised learning approach. Classification and forecasting can help the delinquent, learned counsel, and presiding officers finish the petition and understand it. The model for judgement prediction is implemented on retirement benefits cases which are filed in concerned court against different departments in U.P. State in India. The accuracy of the proposed model varies between 94% to 98%. As a result, the effectiveness of models developed in the TensorFlow DF is highly useful in forecasting the outcome of petitions pertaining to the employment related cases of civil servants, as well as employees of local governments and government-owned enterprises.

Authors: Lansford Todd , Campbell Peter , Hassanzadeh Hamid , Weinstein Marc , Wind Joshua , Beaumont Andrew , Vokshoor Amir , Radcliff Kristen , Aleem Ilyas , Coric Domagoj
Published: October 2024

Background

Certain demographics and/or risk factors contribute to complications following cervical spinal surgery including pseudarthrosis, prolonged pain, and reduced quality of life (QoL). Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) stimulation is a non-invasive therapy that may enhance fusion success in at-risk patients.

Objective

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of post-operative adjunctive PEMF therapy following cervical spinal surgery in subjects at risk for pseudarthrosis.

Methods

This prospective, multicenter study investigated PEMF as an adjunctive therapy to cervical spinal fusion procedures in subjects at risk for pseudarthrosis based on having at least one of the following: prior failed fusion, multi-level fusion, nicotine use, osteoporosis, or diabetes. Radiographic fusion status and patient-reported outcomes (SF-36, EQ5D, NDI, and VAS-arm pain and VAS-neck pain) were assessed.

Results

A total of 160 subjects were assessed for fusion 12-months postoperative, and 144 subjects were successfully fused (90.0%). Fusion success for subjects with 1, 2+, or 3+ risk factors was 91.7%, 89.0%%, and 90.9%, respectively. Significant improvements in NDI, VAS-arm and VAS-neck were observed compared to baseline scores (p < 0.001) along with improvements in SF-36 and EQ5D (p < 0.001).

Conclusions

Adjunctive treatment with PEMF provides a high rate of successful fusion and significant improvements in pain, function, and quality of life despite having risk factors for pseudarthrosis.
Immunohistochemical expression of MMP–2 and MMP–9 in the brain tissue of sheep naturally infected with Listeria monocytogenes and relationship with cell death in the Listerial encephalitis
Authors: Karayigit Mehmet Önder , Halıgür Mehmet , Ekici Mehmet
Published: October 2024

Listeria monocytogenes is an intracellular, food–borne bacterium. Silage is an important source of this pathogen causing listeriosis. Listeriosis is an important health problem for both animals and humans in the world. The disease comprises three clinical syndromes: meningoencephalitis, septicemia and metritis with abortion. Encephalitis is frequently observed and the factors that play a role in its pathogenesis are the subject of research. In this study, the immunohistochemical expression of MMP–2 and MMP–9 together with TUNEL staining was investigated in the pathogenesis of meningoencephalitis in sheep naturally infected with L. monocytogenes. The brains of 25 sheep with Listerial meningoencephalitis were used in this study. Brain material from 10 sheep provided from the slaughterhouse was also used as a control. Tissue sections were stained immunohistochemically with L. monocytogenes, MMP–2 and MMP–9 antibodies. Additionally, TUNEL staining was performed to determine apoptosis in the disease. As a result of the study, it was observed that TUNEL staining in neurons and glial cells, MMP–2 and MMP–9 expressions in vascular endothelial cells, inflammatory cells, microglia and especially neurons in the infected brain tissue were significantly increased compared to controls. These results suggested that MMP–2 and MMP–9 play an active role in the neurodegeneration and cell death that occur in Listerial encephalitis.
Zmiany strukturalne w chowie krów i produkcji mleka w Polsce w latach 1990-2010
Authors: Dzun Piotr
Published: October 2024

W artykule zaprezentowano zmiany w chowie krów i produkcji mleka w latach 1990‒2010 z wyodrębnieniem okresu intensywnych przemian systemowych oraz okresu przedakcesyjnego i poakcesyjnego. Analizę oparto na danych GUS, a w szczególności danych z powszechnych spisów rolnych. Przeprowadzona analiza wskazuje, że w analizowanym okresie nastąpił bardzo duży spadek liczby gospodarstw utrzymujących krowy oraz liczby samych krów. Jednak dynamika tych procesów była znacząco zróżnicowana w analizowanych okresach. W okresie intensywnych przemian systemowych (1990‒1995) spadek liczby krów był większy niż spadek liczby gospodarstw utrzymujących krowy. W okresie tym uwidocznił się proces dekoncentracji w chowie krów oraz regres w doskonaleniu stada krów. Poczynając od połowy lat 90. spadek liczby gospodarstw jest zdecydowanie większy niż spadek liczby krów. Chów krów przesuwa się do gospodarstw większych obszarowo. W strukturze krajowego stada krów wyraźnie zwiększa się udział krów stadach 10 sztuk i więcej. Zarysowuje się wyraźnie proces koncentracji i specjalizacji. Średnie stado krów wzrasta z 2,6 do 5,9 sztuk. Wyraźnie poprawia się działalność gospodarstw w zakresie modernizacji chowu krów i produkcji mleka oraz w doskonaleniu stada krów, co skutkuje wyraźną poprawą mleczności krów i jakości mleka. Siłą napędową tych procesów jest coraz większa konkurencja na rynku mleka i rosnące wymagania zakładów mleczarskich. Jednak w dalszym ciągu poziom specjalizacji i koncentracji chowu krów w Polsce i ich wydajności mlecznej jest znacznie niższy niż w krajach UE, z którymi konkurujemy na rynku mleka. W najbliższych latach utrzyma się dualny rozwój zbiorowości gospodarstw utrzymujących krowy mleczne. W grupie gospodarstw towarowych będzie nasilać się proces specjalizacji i koncentracji chowu krów, prowadzący do szybkiego zmniejszania się udziału gospodarstw utrzymujących do 20 krów. Natomiast gospodarstwa nietowarowe, utrzymujące małe stada, będą przede wszystkim wycofywać się z tego kierunku produkcji lub ograniczać go do potrzeb własnej rodziny i ewentualnie bezpośredniej sprzedaży lokalnej. Dynamikę zmniejszania się liczby tych gospodarstw w mniejszym stopniu wyznaczać będą warunki ekonomiczne, a w większym kulturowe i demograficzne
Seasonal variation of birds on a feeding site in a suburban area near Oslo, Norway
Authors: Elgmork Kåre
Published: October 2024

The birds visiting a feeding site near a villa in a suburban, residential area in Bærum municipality, west of Oslo, were monitored daily during 1997 - 99, and at irregular intervals during 1993 - 96. Sixteen species had a frequency of more than one week during 1997 - 99. The most common species were: Magpie, Great Tit, Blue Tit, Greenfinch, and Tree Sparrow, all of which occurred during most of the year. There was a clear seasonal pattern in the occurrence of most species. Three species, Siskin, Redpoll, and Brambling, were irregular and occasionally present in relatively large numbers. Invasions occurred especially during cold spells. Among migrant birds, the Blackbird was regularly present during winter. The Robin overwintered irregularly, especially in mild winters.
Spiders (Araneae) from three human-influenced habitats in the Golsfjellet mountain area, central southern Norway
Authors: Hauge Erling , Ellingsen Robert , Fremmersvik Mona
Published: October 2024

Three sites at 900 m a.s.l. in the sub-alpine mountain birch forest region and under different levels of human-influence were investigated. Site 1: An open birch forest with some scattered spruces, a rich bush and field layer and a rich moss cover; very little grazed. Site 2: Tree and bush layer removed, a rich field layer invaded by open area species and some ’culture indicators’; there was a rich moss cover. Site 3: Grazed; tree layer, bush layer and moss cover absent. Pitfall trapping (18 May – 18 Aug. 2000) in site 1 - 3 resulted in 48, 48 and 22 spider species (in total 64 species). In site 1 and 2 Pardosa riparia (C.L.Koch, 1833) and Alopecosa pulverulenta (Clerck, 1757) were dominating. P. sphagnicola (Dahl, 1908) was also fairly common in site 1, P. palustris and P. hyperborea (Thorell, 1872) in site 2. Site 3 was almost completely dominated by Pardosa palustris (73.2 %) and Erigone atra Blackwall, 1841 (18.2 %); present (absent elsewhere) were also some specimens of Oedothorax retusus (Westring, 1851) (4.6 %).
Errors associated with moose-hunter counts of occupied beaver Castor fiber lodges in Norway
Authors: Parker Howard , Rosell Frank , Gustavsen Per Øyvind
Published: October 2024

In Norway, Sweden and Finland moose Alces alces hunting teams are often employed to survey occupied beaver (Castor fiber and C. canadensis) lodges while hunting. Results may be used to estimate population density or trend, or for issuing harvest permits. Despite the method’s increasing popularity, the errors involved have never been identified. In this study we 1) compare hunting-team counts of occupied lodges with total counts, 2) identify the sources of error between counts and 3) evaluate the method’s management potential. The study was conducted in Bø Township (266 km2), Telemark County, Norway during 1995. Hunters reported the number of occupied lodges seen daily while hunting moose (25 September - 31 October). Teams (n = 12) under-counted occupied lodges in the township by 62% because 1) the probability of observing an occupied lodge within areas actually hunted on was 0.77, 2) 37% of the moosehunting units were not hunted on and 3) 21% of the occupied lodges occurred in cultivated landscapes outside of moose-hunting units. Hunters had difficulty distinguishing between occupied and unoccupied lodges. Measures of precision and bias should be determined before using the method for practical management. Moose-hunting team surveys may be better suited for obtaining indexes of population change than estimates of occupied lodge number.

Олар ұшу қауіпсіздігін қамтамасыз етуде, бұрылыстарды басқаруда, қақпақтарды, шассиді көтеруде және түсіруде және ұшудың басқа да маңызды аспектілерінде шешуші рөл атқарады. "Гидравлика" сөзі гректің "су" сөзінен шыққан және бастапқыда тыныштық пен қозғалыстағы судың физикалық мінез-құлқын зерттеуді білдіреді. Ұшақтардың гидравликалық жүйелері ұшақ компоненттерінің жұмысын қамтамасыз етеді. Шассидің, шеңберлердің, жеңіл рульдердің және тежегіштердің жұмысы негізінен гидравликалық қуат жүйелерінің көмегімен жүзеге асырылады. Толығырақ тоқталар болсақ, Boeing 737 және Boeing 757 гидравликалық жүйелерін салыстырмалы талдау осы модельдердің техникалық сипаттамалары мен функционалдығын түсінудегі және жетілдірудегі маңызды қадам болып табылады, бұл сайып келгенде авиациялық тасымалдаудың сапасы мен қауіпсіздігін жақсартуға ықпал етеді.
MODELING THE EFFECTS OF MOSQUE EXPLOSION ON PRAYERS
Authors: Bagabir Ahmed
Published: October 2024

Mosques are temples for Muslims in which five prayers are held a day. The continuous escalation of terrorist threats in general and on mosques, in particular, necessitates the importance of protecting people and infrastructure from the burdens of malicious deliberate bombings. The consequences of the blast overburdens are catastrophic, including injuries, deaths, material and economic losses, and social upheaval. The current research employed numerical simulation to investigate the influence of an intentionally induced explosion in a confined, densely populated space on expected human casualties. The case study is a typical mosque building with an area of 600 square meters. Its maximum capacity is 720 prayers (Muslim worshipers), distributed in 12 rows, one behind the other. A detonation occurred as a result of a 1.15 kg TNT bomb exploding in the first row behind the Imam (leader of prayers). The time history of overpressure and speed was monitored at six different points. The four types of blast injuries, primary, tertiary, secondary, and quaternary, have been evaluated. The primary targets, the imam and prayers near the center of the explosion, are more likely to die from the tertiary blast injury. Prayers close to reflective walls, especially near the corners of the mosque, are at risk of death due to the primary blast injury. High winds have been found to cause more severe tertiary injuries than primary injuries resulting from blast overpressure. The information presented in this paper is useful for assessing post-blast damage and for estimating potential blast hazards from explosions. Appropriate design and provision of emergency exits can reduce the rates of physical injury and death resulting from explosions.

Published: October 2024

In this study, we consider bi-$f$-harmonic Legendre curves on $(\alpha,\beta)$-trans-Sasakian generalized Sasakian space form. We provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for a Legendre curve to be bi-$f$-harmonic on $(\alpha,\beta)$-trans-Sasakian generalized Sasakian space form without any restrictions by a main theorem. Afterward, we investigate these conditions under nine different cases. As a result of these investigations, we obtain the original theorems and corollaries as well as the nonexistence theorems. We perform these investigations according to the $\rho_{2}$ and $\rho_{3}$ functions from the curvature tensor of the $(\alpha,\beta)$-trans-Sasakian generalized Sasakian space form, the curvature and torsion of the bi-$f$-harmonic Legendre curve, and finally, the positions of the basis vectors relative to each other.

Authors: Yağmur Tülay
Published: October 2024

In this paper, hyper-dual Leonardo quaternions are defined and studied. Some basic properties of the hyper-dual Leonardo quaternions, including their relationships with the hyper-dual Fibonacci quaternions and hyper-dual Lucas quaternions, are analyzed. In addition, some formulae and identities, such as the recurrence relations, Binet's formula, generating functions, Vajda's identity, certain sum formulae, and some binomial-sum formulae, are investigated for hyper-dual Leonardo quaternions.

Authors: Keten Çopur Ayşegül
Published: October 2024

In this study, we reconstruct an existing result related to the strong convergence of a recently introduced iterative algorithm by removing certain restrictions on the coefficient sequences. We then obtain some new results on the stability and data dependency of this algorithm. To validate our results, we provide a series of nontrivial complex examples, demonstrating the significance and accuracy of our theoretical contributions.

Objective: The event-based surveillance and response report from the municipality of Buguias in the Philippines covering the period 1 January to 29 October 2022 indicated an unusual increase in the number of typhoid cases that surpassed the epidemic threshold for consecutive weeks. An investigation was conducted to confirm the existence of an outbreak, identify the source(s) of transmission and recommend prevention and control measures. Methods: The investigation employed a descriptive design. Medical records were reviewed to verify diagnoses and to identify cases that met case definitions. Key informant interviews were conducted to identify possible sources of transmission and investigate the reporting of cases in the Philippine Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (PIDSR) system. Results: A total of 220 cases of typhoid fever were captured by the PIDSR system. Of the 208 suspected cases that were reviewed, only 15 (7.2%) met the case definition used in this investigation. Fourteen of these 15 verified cases were interviewed; five (35.7%) were farmers and 13 (92.8%) reported using springs as their main water source and source of drinking water. Reporting of cases in the PIDSR system was largely based on the final chart diagnosis or a positive Typhidot or Tubex rapid diagnostic test result. The PIDSR case definition was not followed in the reporting of cases. Discussion: This study provides evidence of endemicity of typhoid fever in Buguias, Benguet, Philippines. However, from January to October 2022, cases were overreported by the surveillance system. Medical record reviews showed that most reported suspected cases did not meet case definition criteria. This finding emphasizes the need to improve typhoid guidelines with regards to diagnosis using rapid diagnostic tests and to investigate the cost-effectiveness of making confirmatory laboratory tests for typhoid available in the Philippines.

Published: October 2024

Pacientes diagnosticados com Síndrome de Down (SD) apresentam limitações motoras e cognitivas e a hipoterapia (HPT) pode auxiliar no aprimoramento das habilidades motoras. O objetivo é revisar sistematicamente os efeitos da hipoterapia na função motora de crianças diagnosticas com SD. PRISMA e Rayyan foram utilizados como ferramentas para a seleção de estudos coletados em seis bases de dados (Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scielo e BVS). As palavras-chave utilizadas para realizar a busca foram: “Síndrome de Down”, “Equilíbrio postural”, “Habilidade Motora”, “Fisioterapia” e “Hipoterapia”, unidas pelos operadores booleanos 'OR' ou 'AND'. 378 estudos foram encontrados, sendo que dez foram incluídos após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Os resultados demonstraram que a hipoterapia melhora a marcha, habilidades motoras e equilíbrio em pacientes diagnosticados com SD. Entretanto, os estudos incluídos apresentaram fragilidades metodológicas e mais estudos de alta qualidade metodológica e com maior tamanho amostral são necessários para aumentar o nível de evidência do uso da hipoterapia em crianças com SD.

Published: October 2024

O aumento da demanda por métodos agrícolas sustentáveis requer alternativas ao uso de agroquímicos, como o biocontrole. Microrganismos como fungos do gênero Trichoderma destacam-se pela capacidade de promover o crescimento das plantas e atuar no controle de fitopatógenos. Esses fungos produzem enzimas hidrolíticas, como quitinases, proteases e glucanases, que degradam a parede celular de fungos fitopatogênicos, sendo cruciais para o processo de micoparasitismo. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma breve revisão sobre o potencial do melhoramento genético de linhagens de Trichoderma para aumentar a produção dessas enzimas, contribuindo para a otimização do biocontrole, além de demonstrar um panorama geral da importância deste fungo para uma agricultura sustentável.
Editorial Introduction
Authors: Buckareff Andrei A. , Goff Philip
Published: October 2024

The articles in this issue are devoted to the question of whether consciousness is a fundamental feature of reality. In recent years the physicalist orthodoxy in the science and philosophy of consciousness has been challenged by a panpsychist insurgency (Chalmers, 2016; Goff, 2017;
2019), panpsychism being the view that consciousness is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of the physical universe. This new wave of panpsychists claim that their view avoids the deep challenges faced by physicalism as well as those faced by dualism, the traditional rival of physicalism.
The best way to test whether panpsychism lives up to its promise is for philosophers and scientists to explore the pros and cons of panpsychism in discussion and in writing. Most of these articles were presented in some form at a workshop on the theme of 'Consciousness as Fundamental' at Marist
College in Poughkeepsie, New York, in September of 2023. This was one of two workshops that are part of a John Templeton Foundation funded project (Grant #62683) co-directed by Andrei A. Buckareff and Philip Goff on the theme of 'Panpsychism and Pan(en)theism: Philosophy of Mind Meets Philosophy
of Religion'. Yanssel Garcia's article, entitled 'Is Consciousness Fundamental?', was the winner of an essay competition hosted by the project. These articles address the theme of whether consciousness is fundamental from a variety of perspectives, most focusing on different puzzles that arise
if we assume a panpsychist framework in trying to explain consciousness.
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Panpsychism
Authors: Tye Michael
Published: October 2024

This article argues that the best explanation for the absence of borderline cases with respect to phenomenal consciousness is that phenomenal consciousness is irreducible. This, I argue, leads to a paradox, which is best resolved by adopting a form of panpsychism. The version of panpsychism
I elaborate explains differences in the phenomenal character of experiences via differences in what the experiences represent. This aspect of the current view is compatible with representationalist claims I have made in the past with respect to phenomenal consciousness. It also provides a
straightforward and satisfying solution to the problem of combination.
Can Consciousness Have Blind Spots? : A Renewed Defence of Sri Aurobindo's Opaque Cosmopsychism
Authors: Medhananda Swami
Published: October 2024

This article defends the cosmopsychist doctrine of the Indian philosopher-mystic Sri Aurobindo, arguing that it has distinct advantages over rival panpsychist positions. After tracing the dialectical trajectory of recent philosophical debates about panpsychism up to the present, I bring
Aurobindo into dialogue with Miri Albahari, who has defended a form of panpsychist idealism based on the classical Advaita Vedānta philosophy of Śankara. I critique Albahari's panpsychist idealism from an Aurobindonian standpoint, arguing that its Śankaran metaphysical
commitments and eliminativist implications make it an unsatisfactory account of consciousness. I then summarize Aurobindo's cosmopsychism and explain its distinctive solution to the individuation problem, which is widely considered to be the most serious problem for all forms of cosmopsychism.
According to Aurobindo, Divine Consciousness individuates into multiple creaturely consciousnesses through the twin processes of 'self-limitation' and 'exclusive concentration'. I conclude the paper by addressing several potential objections to Aurobindo's cosmopsychism.
