Tres relieves de Khorsabad, Nimrud y Nínive o de donaciones y desideratas: una aproximación a las relaciones entre el Louvre y el Museo de Reproducciones Artísticas de Madrid (1896-1900)
Authors: Garcia-Ventura Agnès
Published: December 2020

El extinto Museo de Reproducciones Artísticas de Madrid, cuya colección alberga el Museo Nacional de Escultura de Valladolid desde 2011, contó con copias de 14 piezas mesopotámicas. Buena parte de las mismas se encargó a dos museos de referencia europeos: el Museo Británico (Londres) y el Museo del Louvre (París). En este artículo nos fijaremos en tres relieves de Khorsabad, de Nimrud y de Nínive cuyos originales se encuentran en el Louvre. Gracias al trabajo con documentación de archivo del Museo de Reproducciones ha sido posible, en primer lugar, descubrir el vaciado del relieve de Khorsabad como una desiderata que se trató de gestionar en 1896 pero que nunca llegó a materializarse. En segundo lugar se ha identificado al arqueólogo Pierre Paris (1859-1930) como el intermediario que posibilitó que el Louvre donara al museo madrileño los vaciados de dos relieves de Nimrud y de Nínive en el año 1900. Por todo ello, este caso de estudio articulado a partir de tres ejemplos permite reconstruir algunos aspectos de las relaciones entre el Louvre y el Museo de Reproducciones entre 1896 y 1900, reflejo a su vez de los vínculos culturales y diplomáticos entre los dos países implicados.
Un proyecto audiovisual de etnografía colaborativa en construcción: la serie documental La comunicación indígena
Authors: Pérez Galán Beatriz , Prieto Ramos Yolanda
Published: December 2020

En esta contribución se describe el proceso de colaboración etnográfica seguido en la serie documental La comunicación indígena. Un derecho en construcción. Realizada bajo la dirección técnica del Centro de Medios Audiovisuales (CEMAV) de la Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) en el marco del proyecto de investigación “Medios Indígenas”. Esta serie contó con la participación de académicos, antropólogos, periodistas y comunicadores indígenas y no indígenas de más de una docena de colectivos y medios de comunicación procedentes de América Latina y del Estado español. Partiendo del reconocimiento a los actores indígenas reiteradamente invisibilizados en los procesos de investigación tradicionales, reflexionamos sobre el lugar de enunciación de los participantes en este proyecto, la audiencia a la que nos dirigimos, y el proceso de selección de imágenes y narraciones, entre otros elementos de un ejercicio experimental de etnografía colaborativa en el ámbito de la comunicación indígena en América Latina.
Tiempos cristianos y tiempos andinos en las crónicas coloniales y los qeros
Authors: Martínez C. José Luis
Published: December 2020

Un conjunto de qeros andinos de los siglos XVII y XVIII, que muestran escenas correspondientes al pasado andino y a su presente colonial, permiten abordar la discusión acerca de los distintos conceptos de tiempo y espacio que tenían tanto las sociedades cristianas europeas de la época como la andina. En tanto que en las primeras ambos conceptos son autónomos, en los Andes el concepto de pacha supone la simultaneidad de tiempo y espacio. Mientras las crónicas escritas por europeos se organizaron con una concepción lineal del tiempo, las narraciones visuales en los qeros siguieron principios organizativos y enunciativos distintos. Se propone que ambos conceptos coexistieron colonialmente, y sirvieron de base para la construcción y/o conservación de las memorias en los Andes.
Científicos vs. huaqueros. Responsabilidad y participación en la competencia comercial de piezas arqueológicas calchaquíes, a fines del siglo XIX
Authors: Tolosa Sandra
Published: December 2020

En este artículo analizo el comercio de piezas arqueológicas de los valles Calchaquíes (Noroeste Argentino/NOA) a fines del siglo XIX, como una práctica compartida por distintos actores que modificó el sentido y los objetivos del huaqueo tradicional de la zona, a la vez que propició el veloz desarrollo de un mercado de antigüedades. Planteo que esto respondió a la demanda de los científicos e instituciones para la formación de colecciones, aunque rápidamente se convirtió en una amenaza para los mismos, especialmente por el accionar de huaqueros a gran escala. Ante este avance -y aunque en los hechos sostuvieran activamente la competencia- los arqueólogos sostuvieron un distanciamiento discursivo “purificador” respecto de las prácticas comerciales, que al mismo tiempo sirvió para invisibilizar su propia responsabilidad en el proceso.
The Mediterranean and “Mediterranean Studies”: An Editor's Retrospective
Authors: de Sousa Geraldo U.
Published: December 2020

This essay focuses on the meaning of “Mediterranean” and “Mediterranean studies,” offers an overview of the author's tenure as editor of the journal Mediterranean Studies (2001–11), and provides reminiscences of the Congresses and educational post tours organized by the Mediterranean Studies Association. A singularly capacious view of what defines the Mediterranean and the complexities of the field of Mediterranean studies emerge from an examination of articles published in the journal and from a cluster of experiences that the Mediterranean Studies Association has bundled into a package, including the international Annual Congresses, the journal, and the educational post tours. The post tours in Rio de Janeiro (2000); in Southwestern France, the sites associated with the Cathars, Andorra, and Aragon (2004); on the Island of Sardinia and the Island of Corsica (2009); and in Epirus, Western Greece, and Albania (2011) are highlighted to underscore scholarly discoveries and insights, opportunities for academic collaboration, and shared experiences.

Abogados y notarios públicos como sujetos obligados a la prevención LA/FT/FP: nuevo sujeto APNFD
Authors: Habed Blandón Víctor
Published: December 2020

Los delitos del lavado de activos, financiamiento al terrorismo y a la proliferación de armas de destrucción masiva (en adelante LA/FT/FT), tienen efectos adversos en la economía, sociedad, y seguridad potencialmente devastadoras para el Estado. Es por ello que se hace necesario identificar aquellas acciones de los clientes que tienen un origen legítimo de las que pretenden realizar con la finalidad de encubrir negocios ilícitos. Los delincuentes organizados utilizan diversas estrategias delictivas como la extorsión, el chantaje o el asesinato, en busca de ganarse el favor de la Administración, eliminar la competencia, sortear la justicia y desde luego, obtener recursos. Estrategias que en algunos casos podrían involucrar el servicio ofrecido por Abogados y Notarios Públicos, por lo que se hace necesario convertir a éstos en nuevos sujetos obligados a la Prevención del Lavado de Activos, el Financiamiento al Terrorismo y el Financiamiento a la Proliferación de Armas de Destrucción Masiva (LA/FT/FP). En nuestro país el proceso de creación de normas para sancionar estos ilícitos resultó un poco tardío, no obstante se ha acelerado en estos momentos, dada la imperiosa necesidad de la prevención y el castigo de los mismos, así como dar cumplimiento a las recomendaciones del Grupo de Acción Financiera, GAFI. Este análisis investigativo comprende todos aquellos aspectos relacionados con la nueva obligación que tienen los Abogados y Notarios Públicos, debidamente autorizados e incorporados ante la Corte Suprema de Justicia de Nicaragua, de prevenir detectar y reportar actividades potencialmente vinculadas al lavado de activos, financiamiento al terrorismo y a la proliferación de armas de destrucción masiva y delitos precedentes asociadas a éstos. Así como las posibles consecuencias jurídicas ante el incumplimiento de estos deberes.

Non-Profit Islamic Institutions and Quality Management Systems in Malaysia
Authors: Mokhtar Mohd Sadiq Mohd , Ahmad Fadzila Azni
Published: December 2020

This paper presents a narrative review of arguments made by researchers regarding the applicability of western and Japanese quality management systems by non-profit Islamic institutions. This review approach was employed after undertaking a literature search for selected articles based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The focus of narrative reviews in this study is to identify common themes across researches regarding non-profit Islamic institutions and quality management systems in Malaysia that can then be used to identify commonalities and critical differences among included documents. Following electronic searches of Scopus and Google Scholar sites, nine studies on quality management systems related to non-profit Islamic institutions were identified and subjected to a detailed narrative literature review. Findings reveal that the quality management systems discussed by researchers vary and there are researchers who rejected the idea of implementing western and Japanese quality management systems and instead implemented the Islamic Quality Management system, which was developed in Malaysia. This study intends to contribute to the quality of management and non-profit institution management literature with the proposition of adopting quality management systems by the management of non-profit Islamic institutions.
Aqua-Feed Wastes: Impact on Natural Systems and Practical Mitigations—A Review
Authors: Munguti Jonathan M. , Kirimi James G. , Obiero Kevin O. , Ogello Erick O. , Kyule Domitila N. , Liti David M. , Musalia Levi M.
Published: December 2020

Dietary composition of aquaculture feeds (aquafeeds) determines the quality of wastes from aquaculture production systems. These wastes, which are derived mainly from nitrogenous and phosphorus compounds subsequently affect water quality in the culture systems and the ambient environment. Depending on the type of culture systems and management practices employed, the aquafeed wastes can influence the water pH, algal turbidity, biological oxygen demand (BOD) and may cause fish mortality. The aquafeed wastes also can facilitate eutrophication leading into harmful algal blooms. Moreover, large quantities of aqua-waste are discharged as fish cannot retain all the food they consume which means a significant portion of the feed remains uneaten. In this paper, we review and discuss practical nutritional strategies and mitigation measures to reduce aquafeed wastes including controlled formulation using high-quality ingredients, enzyme-based aquafeed, processing, reduction of anti-nutrition factors and precision feeding. The paper further recommends strategies for enhancing the resilience of aquaculture production systems and mitigation measures to reduce the effects of aqua-wastes on ambient natural environments.

Authors: Ghazalah A. A. , El-Kaiaty A. M. , Motawe Hady F. A. , Radwan A. S.
Published: December 2020

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of replacing soybean meal (SBM) protein with canola meal (CM) protein on productive performance, nutrient digestibility, immune response, lymphoid organs, blood parameters, carcass fatty acids and cecum microbiota of broilers. A total of 160 one d-old Arbor Acres broiler chicks were randomly allocated to 4 dietary treatments of 5 replicates, where, CM protein replaced SBM protein at 0, 30, 60, and 90% for a 39 days feeding trial. The results showed no significant differences in productive performance parameters among control, 30% and 60% treatment groups, while, at 90% replacement level, all values decreased (P < 0.0001) all over the experimental period. The 90% replacement group showed depression of crude protein (P < 0.001) and crude fiber (P < 0.001) digestibility and spleen relative weight (P = 0.0386) with increase of thymus (P = 0.0555), bursa (P = 0.0334) and thyroid relative weight (P = 0.0276) as well as thyroid hormones (P = 0.0034, 0339) for T3, T4, respectively, while, there were no significant differences among control, 30% and 60% treatment groups for those criteria. However, CM levels had no effect on serum haemagglutination inhibition (HI) titer against Newcastle disease. CM significantly decreased serum cholesterol content (P = 0.0002) while increased HDL (P = 0.0532), compared to the control. CM levels showed an increase in carcass meat content of unsaturated fatty acids content (P < 0.0001) as the replacement level gradually increased. Erucic acid did not detected in carcass. All CM levels decreased cecum content of E. coli (P = 0.0051) while increased that of Lactobacillus (P = 4094). Conclusively, CM can be used safely in broiler diet to replace up to 60% of SBM protein without negative effects on growth and immune response of broilers.

Published: December 2020

U radu su prikazani rezultati istraživanja učinkovitosti skidera Ecotrac 55V. Istraživanje je provedeno u šumskom odjelu 89, gospodarska jedinica »Igman«, uz primjenu studija rada i vremena. Trajanje radnoga vremena ustanovljeno je »povratnom« metodom snimanja. Ovisnost vremena trajanja radnih operacija o utjecajnim čimbenicima utvrđena je uz primjenu višestruke regresijske analize. Primijenjena je sortimentna metoda izrade drva. Snimljeni su ovi utjecajni čimbenici: stanje traktorskoga puta (podloge), udaljenost privlačenja drva skiderom, udaljenost privitlavanja drva, broj komada u tovaru, obujam tovara i uzdužni nagib traktorskoga puta. Udio operativnoga vremena u ukupnom radnom vremenu iznosi 38,75 %, a udio vremena prekida rada 37,56 %. Norme vremena i učinka izražene su u ovisnosti o udaljenosti privlačenja, dok su za ostale utjecajne čimbenike korištene prosječne vrijednosti. Utvrđena je norma vremena u iznosu od 8,34 min/m3 za udaljenost privlačenja od 100 m, odnosno 17,65 min/m3 za 900 m. Učinak se traktora kreće u intervalu od 57,58 m3/radnom danu za udaljenost privlačenja od 100 m do 27,20 m3/radnom danu za 900 m. Analiza je pokazala da postoji mogućnost povećanja učinkovitosti primjenom bolje organizacije rada i smanjenjem udjela prekida rada u ukupnom radnom vremenu, osobito prekida iz organizacijskih i osobnih razloga (prekida zbog jela i prekida zbog odmora i osobnih potreba radnika).
Reflexões sobre as versões de Karate em uma cidade metropolitana de São Paulo
Authors: Camilo Juliana A. de Oliveira , Rubio Katia
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo insere-se em um estudo amplo que pleiteia entender os sentidos das lutas corpo-rais em uma cidade metropolitana do estado de São Paulo. Para isso, elegemos a cidade de Cotia, que possui realidades díspares em âmbito socioeconômico e demográfico. Como parte deste proje-to, este artigo visa identificar as versões de Karate que circularam em diferentes práticas do cotidia-no da cidade, entre o segundo semestre de 2018 e o primeiro semestre de 2019. Como aproxima-ção teórico-metodológica, buscamos aporte na teoria ator-rede em diálogo com a Psicologia Social de cunho construcionista. Foi possível identificar três versões de Karate sendo performadas neste lo-cal: como uma modalidade competitiva, como uma prática para a vida (Budô), e como uma oportu-nidade de ordem mercadológica. A pesquisa sugere que não há um tipo único de Karate, homogê-neo, estável e permanente, mas que ele é múltiplo, produto das práticas em que está envolvido.

Introducción: Los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA) se caracterizan por un miedo intenso a ganar peso y conductas de control del mismo. Las personas con TCA manifiestan peor calidad de vida que la población general y el abordaje de sus complicaciones supone elevados costes socio-sanitarios. Materiales y métodos: Para comprobar la eficacia de la Realidad Virtual (RV) como he-rramienta de diagnóstico y/o soporte al tratamiento de TCA, se realizó una revisión sistemática de artículos publicados entre 2012 y 2018 en PubMed (MEDLINE). Resultados: Se seleccionaron 7 ar-tículos que emplearon la RV como tratamiento, 5 como soporte diagnóstico y 3 como ambas (N=15). Conclusiones: La RV demuestra ser efectiva para mitigar la ansiedad ante la exposición a alimentos, reducir conductas exageradas de control de peso, y facilitar el abordaje terapéutico del auto-concepto e imagen corporal. También demostró mayor eficacia frente al tratamiento conven-cional o como tratamiento de segundo nivel.
Aspectos teórico-metodológicos e éticos na pesquisa qualitativa em psicologia social de base construcionista
Authors: Sales Sala Gomes Emilly , Lima de Jesus Mônica
Published: December 2020

Partimos do pressuposto que o rigor científico da pesquisa qualitativa é dar visibilidade às decisões teórico-metodológicas e considerar as implicações éticas decorrentes. Nesta direção, adotamos a perspectiva das práticas discursivas e produção de sentidos, uma das vertentes da psicologia social de base construcionista. Para tanto, expomos detalhadamente os procedimentos de produção e análise realizados em uma dissertação sobre atuação de psicólogas no campo do HIV/aids. Defendemos a explicitação de todos os passos, ajustes, refinamentos, incorporações e procedimentos adotados. O rigor da produção de conhecimento que defendemos está baseado não na busca de rigidez, mas nos alcances da maleabilidade, que à primeira vista é contraditório, mas ao juntar-se à visibilidade, assenta na boa qualidade da pesquisa. Além disso, ressaltamos que uma postura ética não se limita ao cumprimento de Resoluções de Ética.

Authors: Hutnik Zofia
Published: December 2020

The present article is part of the diploma thesis entitled Frequent causes of violinists’ injuries and selected preventive exercises, which was defended in July 2020. The thesis was written under the supervision of Maciej Łabecki, dr hab., prof. at the AM, (Faculty of Instrumental Performance, Academy of Music in Łódź). The text is divided into two parts – the first part analyses posture mistakes which are made by the majority of violinists while playing their instruments and examines their causes. The second one – based on foreign language publications – describes relaxation techniques and provides an exemplary set of warm-up and stretching exercises, which should be done by every musician before, during and after their practice sessions. Different types of physical activity and their health benefits are also explained in this part.
The author made her decision to share the practical part of her diploma thesis hoping that it would prove helpful for other musicians, especially string instrument players. She would appreciate if this publication encouraged readers to familiarise themselves with her entire research.

Thiswork aims is to present brief explanations about the adoption of the 2030 Agenda and its respective Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the local level. A brief study of the specific municipal legislation of São Paulo was adopted as a basis for comparison, which outlines guidelines and initiatives for the implementation, planning and actions of public policies in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. The indexes and parameters provided by the National Confederation of Municipalities (NCM) by the Mandala SGD platform, and the general evaluation of “Município Verde Azul” Program were used. These instruments present relevant factors for sustainable development, transforming the 2030 Agenda into a reflection and planning tool for municipal managers. It wasfound that over years, although there are still considerable negative variations, several rules have been instituted to regulate relevant issues concerning the environment and local sustainability. However, until now the specific regulation related to Agenda 2030 has not been applied in Presidente Prudente city, which can be considered as an important gap in the search for advances in the quality of public environmental management. To conclude, although there is an important record of progress in general environmental management at the local level, a better coordination between the public authorities and all the agencies involved is necessary. In order to implement a specific guidelines and legal initiatives for the promotion, planning and actions of publicpolicies to implement the Agenda 2030 and the SDGs, which will certainly ensure the exercise of local environmental citizenship

Revitalizing Keno: A Call for Pattern-Based Proposition Bets
Authors: Ingrassia Christopher Michael
Published: December 2020

Keno is a renowned game of chance offered by both lotteries and casinos throughout the world.  The premise of the game is simple: a set of numbers is drawn at random and players are paid for selecting all or most of those numbers in advance.  The mathematical foundation governing the odds and payouts for these basic wagers is elementary.  More sophisticated bets, however, have associated probabilities which cannot be easily calculated by applying a manageable series of formulas.  As a result, keno’s wagering menu has remained stagnant since the game’s widespread inception.  Namely, proposition bets, now commonplace in virtually every other form of gaming, have never been developed for keno to any large degree.  This is both unfortunate and surprising because keno is ideally suited for such an expansion.  Unlike most other lottery-style games, keno highlights all drawn numbers on a rectangular grid, creating random visual patterns at the conclusion of each drawing.  Creative new wagers based on these patterns are rigorously derived herein.  These new additions should greatly enhance the game for both gamblers and enterprising gaming operators alike.
On Fixing International Cricket Matches
Authors: Jewell Sarah , Reade J. James
Published: December 2020

Corruption is hidden action which distorts allocations of resources away from competitive outcomes. Hence the detection of such actions is both difficult yet important. In many economic contexts, agent actions are unobservable by principals and hence detection is difficult; sport offers a well-measured context in which individual actions are documented in great detail. In recent years the sport of cricket, which records a huge volume of statistics, has been beset by a number of corruption scandals surrounding the fixing of matches. We use 18 one day international (ODI) matches that are known to be fixed by one of the teams involved and analyse a wide range of observed statistics from all ODI matches since 1971, in order to determine whether corruption manifests itself in recorded outcomes. We find that corruption does affect a number of observed outcomes in anticipated ways, suggesting that both the increased reporting of statistics, and the statistical analysis of them may be a useful tool in detecting corruption.
Taxing Gambling Machines to Enhance Tourism
Authors: Vaughan Williams Leighton , Garrett Thomas A. , Paton David
Published: December 2020

Gambling machines are a key component of global gambling tourism. The taxation of these machines is a highly controversial area of policy debate involving tensions between industry profitability, economic growth and government revenue. We present the background and context to the debate around the optimal taxation of gambling machines, and reach conclusions and recommendations based on the recent and extended literature as to the best way to tax gambling machines in order to enhance tourism. These recommendations provide guidance for jurisdictions in which gambling tourism is a significant actual or potential source of public revenue.

The Use of Ferritin as a Carrier of Peptides and Its Application for Hepcidin
Authors: Boumaiza Mohamed , Rourou Samia , Arosio Paolo , Nejib Marzouki Mohamed
Published: December 2020

Hepcidin a 25-amino-acid and highly disulfide bonded hormone, is the central regulator of iron homeostasis. In this chapter we propose ferritin as a peptide carrier to promote the association of the hybrid hepcidin/ferritin nanoparticle with a particular cell or tissue for therapeutic or diagnostic use. Indeed, human ferritin H-chain fused directly (on its 5’end) with camel mature hepcidin was cloned into the pASK-43 plus vector and expressed using BL21 (DE3) pLys E. coli strain. The transformed E.coli produced efficiently hepcidin-ferritin construct (hepcH), consisting of 213 amino acids with a molecular weight of 24 KDa. The recovered product is a ferritin exposing hepcidin on outer surface. The hepcH monomer was characterized by immunoblotting using a monoclonal antibody specific for human ferritin and a polyclonal antibody specific for hepcidin-25. The results were also confirmed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The recombinant native human ferritin and the commercial human hepcidin-25 were used as controls in this experiment. The assembly of hepcH, as an heteropolymer molecule, was performed in presence of denatured human ferritin-H and -L chains. After cysteine oxidation of the recombinant nanoparticles, cellular binding assays were performed on mammalian cells such as mouse monocyte–macrophage cell line J774, HepG2 and COS7.
Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Coatings for Automobile Applications
Authors: Olaitan Kolawole Funsho , Kolade Kolawole Shola , Bernardo Varela Luis , Felix Owa Adebayo , Antonio Ramirez Marco , Paulo Tschiptschin André
Published: December 2020

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are amorphous carbon material which exhibits typical properties of diamond such as hardness and low coefficient of friction, characterized based on the sp3 bonded carbon and structure. The proportion of sp2 (graphetically) and sp3 (diamond-like) determines the properties of the DLC. This coating can be applied to automobile engine component in an attempt to provide energy efficiency by reducing friction and wear. However, DLC coatings are faced with issues of thermal instability caused by increasing temperature in the combustion engine of a vehicle. Therefore, it became necessary to seek ways of improving this coating to meetup with all tribological requirements that will be able to resist transformational change of the coating as the temperature increases. This chapter discusses the need for diamond-like carbon coatings for automobile engine applications, due to their ultra-low friction coefficient (<0.1) and excellent wear resistance (wear rate ~ 7 x 10−17 m3/N.m). The importance of DLC coatings deposited using PECVD technique, their mechanical and tribological properties at conditions similar to automobile engines would also be discussed. Non-metallic (hydrogen, boron, nitrogen, phosphorus, fluorine and sulfur) or metals (copper, nickel, tungsten, titanium, molybdenum, silicon, chromium and niobium) has been used to improve the thermal stability of DLC coatings. Recently, incorporation of Ag nanoparticles, TiO2 nanoparticles, WO3 nanoparticles and MoO3 nanoparticles into DLC has been used. The novel fabrication of diamond-like carbon coatings incorporated nanoparticles (WO3/MoO3) using PECVD for automobile applications has shown an improvement in the adhesion properties of the DLC coatings. DLC coatings had a critical load of 25 N, while after incorporating with WO3/MoO3 nanoparticles had critical load at 32 N and 39 N respectively.
Caird's Philosophy of Religion

In the view of Spencer, Hamilton, Mansel and others, while the province of science is the known, the province of religion is the unknown and the unknowable. Ever addition to the gradually increasing sphere of science reveals a wider sphere of nescience, the unknown and unknowable background of the infinite and the absolute. Since to think is to condition and since the infinite and the absolute is unconditioned, to think or know the infinite or the absolute is to think the unthinkable or know the unknowable though we are compelled to accept the existence of the infinite and the absolute. But this viewpoint is contradictory. It is self-contradictory to hold simultaneously that human knowledge is confined to the finite and that we can know of an existence beyond the finite and that all human knowledge is relative and yet that we can know of the existence of the absolute. Objections to the scientific study of religion based on arguments from intuitive character of religious knowledge and arguments from authoritative nature of religious knowledge are also addressed.
Contemporary Trends in the Philosophy of Life
Authors: Bhattacharya Katyaynidas ,   Society for Indian Philosophy and Religion
Published: December 2020

An issue in philosophy of life is what in nature can and what cannot be explained by physics and chemistry. The mechanical theory is the same as the physico-chemical theory and the mechanical explanation of biological phenomena amounts to the recognition of such phenomena as falling under the laws of physics and chemistry. Hobhouse points out that a living body acts in some respects as a mechanism while in other respects it appears to act differently. But where does the difference lie? One difference seems to be that a living organism, when out of order, struggles back to order and normal functioning in a structured way that a machine appears to be incapable of. Haldane asserts that a living organism can grow from within and give rise to another system of the same sort out of a tiny special itself as it happens in reproduction and that such reproduction belongs to a class qualitatively different from that of mechanical operation. The qualitative difference between life and matter is also supported in Alexander’s doctrine of emergent evolution.
God in the Philosophy of Alexander
Authors: Bhattacharya Katyayanidas ,   Society for Indian Philosophy and Religion
Published: December 2020

In the view of Alexander Space-Time or Pure Motion is the basic stuff of the universe, for it is Space-Time or Pure Motion that remains if one thinks out all that can be excluded through a rigorous act of abstraction short of annihilation. Alexander subscribes to the doctrine of emergent evolution and holds that the empirical world in all its ascending levels emerges out of the primal background of Space-Time. The first ascending level of emergence is that of matter with primary qualities; the next ascending level is that of secondary qualities; life emerges in the next ascending level and mind emerges in the next ascending level. Reductive materialism must be rejected, for each new quality emerging in the ascending level is irreducible to the previous level and there is always an explanatory gap between the previous level and the ascending level. The highest of the empirical qualities known to us is mind or consciousness; there is an empirical quality which is to succeed the distinctive empirical quality of our level, that new empirical quality is God or deity. We cannot tell what the nature of deity is; but we can be certain that it is not mere mind or spirit, for no new emergent quality can be reduced to the previous level. Rather deity is what mind or spirit deserves in the ascending order.
Nygren and Oord on Love
Authors: McCall Bradford ,   The Center for Process Studies
Published: December 2020

This article offers a critique of Anders Nygrens influential theory of love, which radically distinguishes among ^ros, agape, and philm. By contrast, a defense is offered of Thomas Jay Oord's view, which I label "kenotically donated love" or "full-Oorded" love. Comparisons are developed of related biological relationships like mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism.
Whitehead's God and the Bahἄí Concept of the Manifestation of God
Authors: Faber Roland ,   The Center for Process Studies
Published: December 2020

This article continues a long history within process thought of multi-religious engagement and analysis of the concept of God. Specifically, this article will move beyond the classical "big five" religions of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism so as to explore in detail the relationship between Whitehead's philosophy/theology and several thinkers and concepts in the Bahἄí faith, especially the concept of the "Manifestation" of God.
In Defence of Different Voices
Authors: Beebee Helen , McCallion Anne-Marie ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: December 2020

Louise Antony draws a now well-known distinction between two explanatory models for researching and addressing the issue of women’s underrepresentation in philosophy – the ‘Different Voices’ (DV) and ‘Perfect Storm’ (PS) models – and argues that, in view of PS’s considerably higher social value, DV should be abandoned. We argue that Antony misunderstands the feminist framework that she takes to underpin DV, and we reconceptualise DV in a way that aligns with a proper understanding of the metaphilosophical framework that underpins it. On the basis of that reconceptualisation – together with the rejection of her claim that DV posits ‘cognitive’ differences between women and men – we argue that Antony’s negative assessment of DV’s social value is mistaken. And, we argue, this conclusion does not depend on endorsing the relevant feminist metaphilosophical framework. Whatever our metaphilosophical commitments, then, we should all agree that DV research should be actively pursued rather than abandoned.
Trade-offs, Backfires and Curriculum Diversification
Authors: Kidd Ian James ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: December 2020

This paper presents two challenges faced by many initiatives that try to diversify undergraduate philosophy curricula, both intellectually and demographically. Trade-offs involve making difficult decisions to prioritise some values over others (like gender diversity over cultural diversity). Backfires involve unintended consequences contrary to the aims and values of diversity initiatives, including ones that compromise more general philosophical values. I discuss two specific backfire risks, involving the critical and political dimensions of teaching philosophy. Some general practical advice is offered along the way.
Philosophy for Everyone
Authors: Jones Nic R. ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: December 2020

The lack of diversity in academic philosophy has been well documented. This paper examines the reasons for this issue, identifying two intertwining norms within philosophy which contribute to it: the assertion that the Adversary Method is the primary mode of argumentation and the excessive boundary policing surrounding what constitutes “real” philosophy. These norms reinforce each other, creating a space where diverse practitioners must defend their work as philosophy before it can be engaged with philosophically. Therefore, if we are to address the diversity issue, these norms must change. I advocate for the community of philosophical inquiry to serve as a new standard of practice, as it requires a simultaneous reimagining of both norms, thereby addressing the issues that arise from the two elements working in tandem. With its emphasis on epistemic openness and constructive collaboration, and a broader definition of philosophy which conceptualizes it as a method of questioning/analyzing rather than a particular subject matter, I posit that its implementation would facilitate a more welcoming climate for diverse practitioners. While these changes are unlikely to solve the diversity problem “once and for all,” I argue that they would significantly help to improve it.
Hemipogon trilobatus sp. nov. (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae), a new microendemic from Chapada dos Veadeiros, Central Brazil
Authors: Bitencourt Cássia , Santos Amanda P.B. , Snak Cristiane , Rapini Alessandro
Published: December 2020

Hemipogon s. str. (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) currently consists of three species sharing an erect herbaceous habit, narrow leaves and corona-less flowers with urceolate, internally bearded corolla, that are mainly distributed in savannahs of the Cerrado biodiversity hotspot, South America. Here, we describe and illustrate a new species of Hemipogon, H. trilobatus Bitencourt & Rapini sp. nov., from an open savannah in Chapada dos Veadeiros, Central Brazil. Hemipogon trilobatus sp. nov. differs from the other species of the genus mainly by the presence of a reduced staminal corona with 3-lobed lobes, but also by opposite leaves and triangular anthers. Distribution and habitat data, as well as a key and a comparative table to distinguish the four species currently accepted in Hemipogon s. str., are provided. Based on criteria B2ab(i,ii,iii,iv) of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the species is provisionally assessed as Critically Endangered.
Panel estimating effects of macroeconomic determinants on tax revenue level in European Union

Published: December 2020

The level of tax revenue represents one of the most important issues for every country, especially in extraordinary circumstances. The aim of this paper is to identify which macroeconomic determinants are important to total tax revenue in order to determine which variables are the key generators of tax revenue collection. The subject of this research represents the estimating effects of selected macroeconomic determinants on total tax revenue in European Union countries from 2006 to 2018. Empirical analysis includes three panel regression models where total tax revenue, direct tax revenue and indirect tax revenue are determined as dependent variables. Results of fixed effects model show that 1% increase of GDP enhances total tax revenue for 6.91%. Government expenditure, total investment and population have positive effect on total tax revenue where 1% increase of these determinants raise total tax revenue for 2.38%, 0.001% and 0.57% in these countries. Contrary, inflation, unemployment and gross national savings negatively affect the total tax revenue where their growth by 1% cause lower level of total tax revenue for 3.72%, 0.001% and 1.48%. Likewise, gross domestic product and total investment lead to greater change of direct tax revenue and indirect tax revenue. Empirical findings show that governments.
Modern forms of violations of dignity at work: Basic similarities and differences
Authors: Gligorić Slađana , Stojković-Zlatanović Sanja
Published: December 2020

The paper aims to analyze various notions that are often connected and considered within the concept of dignified work as modern forms of labour rights' violation. On this basis, we strive for a conceptual-applicative delimitation of the concepts of discrimination, workplace abuse, as well as sexual harassment at work in terms of exercising and protection of fundamental socio-economic rights. Violation of the dignity of human beings, i.e. workers is a general legal category that basically has a significant moral and ethical dimension, while standardizing the concepts of discrimination, abuse and sexual harassment and their clear concretization provides complete protection of fundamental rights. The solutions of domestic law and the need to de lege ferenda perform the necessary harmonization of various normative solutions in this area are especially pointed out.
The Japanese model of the implementation of the community policing
Authors: Đoković Lazar
Published: December 2020

Community policing is the strategy of policing that is applied in countries around the world, and through time, it became the most popular way of approach to police work. The goal of this strategy is reflected in creating a better and safer life of citizens, which is achieved through the teamwork of the police and the local community. Based on the analysis of the content of foreign scientific and professional literature, and official publications of the Japanese police, the author presents the specifics of the implementation of community policing strategy in Japan, in order to point to examples of good police practice, given that this is an official approach to policing in the Republic of Serbia. In addition to a review of the basic settings of this strategy, the organizational, programmatic, strategic and philosophical level of the so-called the koban - model of police work, the paper is presenting the obstacles that stand in the way of achieving the goals of this strategy and how the Japanese police overcome them. Finally, the author concludes that the practice of the Japanese police is a prototype of successful policing in the community, but that it is conditioned by the specifics of Japanese society, and as such can hardly be implemented in societies that do not share the same characteristics.
