Inversion der Aufklärung
Authors: Stader Daniel
Published: July 2024

Mit seinem Begriff der Aufklärung konterkariert Kant das Verständnis seiner Zeitgenossen. An die Stelle der Auffindung und Verbreitung wahrer Erkenntnisse sowie des Ausmerzens von Irrtümern und Vorurteilen setzt er den Fortschritt des selbständigen Vermögensgebrauchs der Menschen. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass Kant seinen Begriff der Unmündigkeit zwar aus dem Vorurteilsdiskurs der Aufklärung entwickelt, aber dabei eine Inversion ihrer Herrschaftsmetaphorik vornimmt. Die nur übertragen verstandene innere Herrschaft der Vorurteile der aufklärerischen Tradition kehrt Kant zur ganz tatsächlichen Herrschaftsbeziehung von Vormundschaft und Unmündigkeit um, und somit einen epistemischen Diskurs in einen sozialen. Diese Sozialphilosophie ist systematisch in Kants Anthropologie zu verorten, die sich nicht in erster Linie mit der praktischen Vernunft auseinandersetzt, sondern mit den faktischen Beziehungen von Menschen und dem Einfluss ihres Vermögensgebrauchs aufeinander. Die Unmündigkeit als ontogenetische conditio humana hält hierbei die systematische Erkenntnis bereit, dass Beherrschbarkeit ganz zentral mit der Temporalität des menschlichen Lebens zusammenhängt.
Begrenzte Öffentlichkeit
Authors: Dietrich Schotte
Published: July 2024

Kants Konzeption der „Aufklärung“ als gemeinsamer öffentlicher Gebrauch der Vernunft wird häufig nicht nur als unhintergehbares Lehrstück der Philosophie der Aufklärung, sondern darüber hinaus als notwendiger Bestandteil freiheitlicher Gesellschaften als solcher betrachtet. Dagegen wird seltener zur Kenntnis genommen, dass in Kants Vorstellung einer „Öffentlichkeit“ diese ihre Integrität nicht allein durch die epistemischen und politischen Tugenden ihrer Teilnehmer:innen erhält, sondern letztere vor allem durch ein Gatekeeping sicherstellt. Dies führt, wie dieser Aufsatz zeigen möchte, in ein Dilemma: Auf die erwähnten Tugenden zu verzichten hieße, offen politische Unruhen in Kauf zu nehmen; sie durch Gatekeeping sicherzustellen hieße, ähnlich offen den Ausschluss von Minderheiten hinzunehmen.
Künstliche Intelligenz und Vertrauen im medizinischen Kontext
Authors: Budnik Christian
Published: July 2024

KI-Anwendungen stellen bereits heute einen wichtigen Bestandteil der medizinischen Praxis dar. Ihr Einsatz verbindet sich allerdings mit einer Reihe von Problemen. In dem Aufsatz wird ein spezifisches dieser Probleme diskutiert – die Frage, wie Vertrauen im medizinischen Kontext durch den Einsatz von KI-Technologien betroffen ist. In einem ersten Schritt wird hierzu rekonstruiert, worin die philosophische Herausforderung besteht, die sich mit Vertrauen verbindet, und es wird zweitens erläutert, welche Rolle ein plausibel verstandenes Vertrauen im Verhältnis zwischen Patient:innen und Ärzt:innen spielt. In diesem Zusammenhang wird dafür plädiert, Vertrauen konsequent von bloßem Sich-Verlassen abzugrenzen und es als eine genuin personale Beziehungsform zu interpretieren, in der Personen sich auf eine spezifische Weise aufeinander beziehen. Für das Verhältnis zwischen Ärzt:innen und Patient:innen bedeutet dies, dass Patient:innen, die Vertrauen als Wert zu realisieren versuchen, nicht nur daran interessiert sind, dass Ärzt:innen sie auf eine medizinisch kompetente Weise behandeln, sondern dass sie von ihnen als individuelle Personen betrachtet werden möchten und dabei erwarten, dass sie so gut wie möglich ihre Perspektive einnehmen. Im Hauptteil des Textes wird die Frage diskutiert, ob KI-Technologien vertraut werden kann. Diese Frage ist zentral: Beantwortet man sie positiv, könnte das Ärzt:innen-Patient:innen-Verhältnis als Vertrauensbeziehung überflüssig werden; beantwortet man sie negativ, könnte dies die Vertrauensbeziehung zwischen Ärzt:innen und Patient:innen direkt schädigen, weil wir davon ausgehen müssten, dass unsere Ärzt:innen sich einer Technologie bedienen, der man nicht vertrauen kann. In diesem Zusammenhang werden zwei wichtige Positionen diskutiert, die in der jüngsten Zeit von der These ausgehen, dass man KI-Anwendungen im medizinischen Bereich vertrauen kann – die Ansätze von Ferrario et al. (2021) und von Philip Nickel (2022). Es wird dafür argumentiert, dass diese Ansätze scheitern, weil sie unterstellen, dass Vertrauen überhaupt die richtige Kategorie im Hinblick auf eine Technologie wie KI ist. Abschließend wird angedeutet, inwiefern die Kategorie der Verlässlichkeit angemessener für unseren Umgang mit KI in der Medizin ist und uns dabei helfen könnte, Vertrauen zwischen Ärzt:innen und Patient:innen zu stärken.
Gelingender Alltag und seine Voraussetzungen
Authors: Müller-Salo Johannes
Published: July 2024

Der weitaus größte Teil des menschlichen Lebens besteht aus Alltäglichem, aus eingespielten Abläufen und praktischen Routinen in wohlvertrauten Kontexten und Umwelten. Umso überraschender ist es, dass die Frage nach den spezifischen Strukturen und Gelingensbedingungen alltäglichen Lebens in den breiten Debatten um Theorien des guten Lebens kaum eine Rolle spielt. Der vorliegende Aufsatz enthält einen Vorschlag zur Konzeptualisierung gelingenden Alltags und seiner Voraussetzungen. Dazu führe ich zunächst eine politische Theorie des Guten ein, den capability approach in der von Martha Nussbaum entwickelten Fassung (Abschnitt 1), und argumentiere anschließend für die These, dass Alltag als routinierter Lebensvollzug in der je eigenen Lebenswelt verstanden werden sollte (Abschnitt 2). Auf Grundlage dieser Überlegungen kann die Leitfrage beantwortet werden: Wie gelingt Alltag (Abschnitt 3)? Dabei gehe ich davon aus, dass das Gelingen individuellen Alltags maßgeblich von gesellschaftlichen Voraussetzungen abhängt, die sich im Rahmen einer politischen Theorie des Guten analysieren und kritisieren lassen.
Digital interpretation of the botanical heritage through biodesign
Authors: Jovic Biljana , Stanojevic Andjela , Gajanic Olga , Chemarum Benjamin , Cupurdija Tamara
Published: July 2024

The paper presents two digital studies through the study of botanical
heritage and plant morphology as inspiration for biodesign. The goal was to
create conceptual urban 3D models as potential tools for solving climate
challenges faced by selected cities, as well as for raising awareness of
botanical heritage. For the first study carried out for the city of Nairobi
from Kenya, the inspiration for biodesign was the species Spathodea
campanulata P. Beauv. This plant species is recognized as a symbol of the
battle for the environment in Kenya. The inspiration for the second
conceptual model of biodesign was the protected sycamore (Platanus x
acerifolia (Aiton) Willd.) in Topcider Park in Belgrade (Serbia). As a
natural monument of botanical character, this plane tree is about 200 years
old. The same methodology was applied in both studies, which included field
research, identification of the desired morphological pattern of plants, and
digital modeling and visualization using appropriate digital (computer)
tools. Two conceptual solutions are presented as the results of this
research.

Published: July 2024

In this manuscript, the design of a compact-size circular patch Ultra-
Wideband (UWB) antenna with enhanced fractional bandwidth (BW), peak
realized gain (PRG), and proper impedance matching is presented. The
modified antenna has three circular slots etched from the circular path
(top), fed by a 50? microstrip feed line. These circular slots play a
significant role in improving the impedance bandwidth. Additionally, the
partial ground plane with a slot integrated with a rectangular stub is used
in order to achieve a bandwidth for an operating range of 3.25 GHz - 27 GHz.
The proposed antenna is designed, fabricated, and tested in the laboratory
in order to validate with simulation data. The designed antenna size is 25
mm ? 20 mm ? 0.508 mm. The experimental value of 10 dB return loss
absolute/fractional BW of 23.75 GHz/157.08% at the center frequency,
minimum/ maximum gain of 5.90/12.05 dBi, and maximum /minimum radiation
efficiency of 85/97 % are achieved from the 3.25 GHz to 27 GHz frequency
range. In addition, a comparison table is provided to prove the
state-of-the-art of the antenna?s design. The proposed antenna is suitable
for wireless services, radar, and satellite communication.
Public sector health analytics capacity before and after Covid-19: A case study of manager perspectives in New Brunswick, Canada
Authors: Ayles James , Lima Maria , Gupta Neeru
Published: July 2024

BackgroundDemand for health data and analytics to support research, policy, and practice continues to rise, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the importance of the government analytics workforce in driving academic-based data sharing and linkage platforms, little is known about how public sector managers assess capacity in health analytics. This case study describes findings from consultations among middle managers of analytics services in a Canadian provincial health ministry.
MethodsData collection involved a mixed-questions survey to gauge the functional perspective of managers on organisational and human resource analytics capacity within the New Brunswick Department of Health. The repeated cross-sectional survey was implemented in two rounds, with a baseline collected before the Covid-19 global outbreak (in 2016) and a follow-up after the pandemic emergency response (in 2022).
ResultsThe post-pandemic period was associated with perceptions of a growing role for public service personnel in handling analytics. Recruitment and retention of skilled analytics professionals emerged as the top priority for capacity building, including needs-based planning, competitive compensation packages to address skills shortages, professional development and promotion opportunities, and tracking key performance indicators for employee satisfaction.
ConclusionsGovernment health analytics professionals play a critical role in advancing administrative data use and re-use. Enhanced knowledge sharing is needed on best practices in supply--demand monitoring for analytics professionals and planning for human resources surge capacity in the public service, lest significant innovation potential for health system improvement be left untapped.
Editorial Note
Authors: Costella Annalisa , Mullins Benjamin
Published: July 2024

Oftentimes many individual acts lead to a significantly (dis-)valuable outcome though the performance of each act makes no valuative difference to that outcome. Such cases give rise to a dilemma. For it seemingly doesn’t matter whether one performs an act (or not) if it doesn’t make a difference. Yet it matters a great deal when many of these acts are performed, provided they bring about a significant outcome. One might think, therefore, that at least some reason favours the performance of such acts. But in the absence of a valuative difference, it is difficult to say what that reason is, exactly.
The above dilemma arises in both intrapersonal and interpersonal cases. For instance, in the intrapersonal case, it seemingly makes little difference to my goal of running the marathon whether I skip a single workout. Yet it makes a significant difference to my goal of running the marathon if I skip all of my workouts. And, in the interpersonal case, it seemingly makes no difference to the bad effects of climate change if I choose to be a vegan or not. Yet it makes a significant difference to the bad effects of climate change if we all choose to be vegans. This dilemma has generated a substantial body of literature in both ethics and rational choice. Surprisingly, however, there has been little crossover between the two fields of study. The motivation for the special issue was to offer an avenue to explore new solutions or perspectives on the dilemma through the lens of one, or both of these fields.

Gilo-gilo dalam Karya Sastra: Representasi terhadap Kota Semarang
Authors: Sugiarto Septian Rifki
Published: July 2024

Gilo-gilo merupakan salah satu kuliner khas dan legendaris yang hanya dapat ditemui di Kota Semarang. Kuliner ini menjadi primadona dan sangat dekat dengan masyarakat selain karena sejarah panjangnya, juga lantaran harga jajananya yang relatif murah. Hal inilah yang menyebabkan gilo-gilo digambarkan dalam karya sastra tentang kehidupan masyarakat di Kota Semarang. Penelitian ini melacak bagaimana gambaran gilo-gilo dalam karya sastra. Sehingga, dapat dilihat bagaimana kaitan antara gilo-gilo dengan gambaran masyarakat Kota Semarang. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi sastra dengan menggunakan analisis interpretasi dalam teknik analisis datanya. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hanya ada tiga karya sastra yang membahas gilo-gilo, yakni cerpen “Slompret Kematian”, cerpen “Senja di Kauman”, dan lirik lagu “Semarang Ku Datang”. Penyebab masih minimnya penggambaran gilo-gilo disebabkan oleh kurangnya pengetahuan atau pengalaman pengarang terhadap kuliner ini, faktor pilihan pribadi pengarang, serta fokus dan pesan cerita. Gilo-gilo digambarkan sebagai kuliner yang dekat dengan masyarakat Kota Semarang dan banyak terdapat di sekitar Kampung Kauman. Keberadaan kuliner legendaris ini turut membantu dalam upaya pembentukan identitas kota, daya tarik wisata, meningkatkan ekonomi, dan mengingatkan pentingnya menjaga kerukunan dalam masyarakat.

Authors: Alwuqaysi Bdour ,   King's College London, Abdul-Rahman Alfie , Borgo Rita ,   King's College London,   King's College London
Published: July 2024

This study evaluates the efficacy of three varied designs of colored bar charts—featuring text annotations, icon shapes, and stacked icons—in illustrating the correlation between social media use, mental health, and family functioning. It seeks to bridge a research gap by exploring this specific aspect of visualization techniques. The study uses an online survey with 500 participants to evaluate these designs regarding accuracy, response time, and user preferences. The research findings suggest that colored bar charts with text can reduce response time in medium complexity tasks. Meanwhile, colored bar charts with text and stacked icons can enhance accuracy in medium and hard complexity tasks. Colored bar charts with icons can engage users more in medium and hard tasks and consistently demonstrate high interaction. The study revealed that gender could influence response time and interaction, with colored bar charts with icons generally preferred. However, visualization preferences may vary across age groups, highlighting the importance of personalized visualizations for diverse users. These insights are crucial for individuals aiming to utilize visualizations effectively for correlational data, prompting further investigation into enhancing data visualization through subsequent research based on these results.

The factors related to estimating skills are twofold: cognitive and affective perspectives. Perception of self-efficacy in mathematics, one of the affective factors, is essential for the individual's capacity, abilities, and self-belief in mathematics for the mathematics course. The present study examined the relationship between students' computational estimation skills and mathematical self-efficacy perceptions. For this purpose, two sets of instruments were used as data collection tools: a computational estimation skills task and a mathematical self-efficacy perceptions scale. A correlational design was used in this study, and a total of 83 eighth-grade students participated in the research. As a result, it was concluded that there was a moderately positive and statistically significant relationship between computational estimation skills and mathematical self-efficacy perceptions. Students experience more stress when making estimations compared to mathematical computations whose results are specific. In addition, students mostly need to correct their estimations in questions related to computations with fractions, and they mostly use the rounding strategy when making estimations. These results are further discussed in relation to the perspective of supporting children’s abilities for estimations at the primary school.

The rapid development of cities and urbanization in China has forced the growth of new channels for buying agricultural products. The purpose of this research is to examine how Internet of Things (IoT’s) technologies can digitize a traditional fresh food supply chain. Comparative and descriptive analysis methods are used to highlight the major pain points in the traditional supply chains and assess how digital transformation could help. We delve into every part of digital transformation, which includes establishing an information platform based on IoT and developing smart storage options. Our findings revealed that through end-to-end digital integration, supply chain efficiency is improved with shorter lead times and leaner inventories that yield reduced costs as well as fewer losses while ensuring product quality and traceability. In sum, such an approach would enhance sustainability within the fresh food value chain. As such, our article highlights key aspects of transitioning towards a digital environment in this sector for those planning similar ventures.
The emergence and role of Lancaster in Mexican public education
Authors: Wu Sunpeijing , Jiang Shixue
Published: July 2024

The Lancaster mutual teaching model originated in late 18th century England and quickly spread to the American colonies after receiving positive responses in Europe. In the 1820s, renowned Spanish physician, educator, and publisher Manuel Codorniú Ferreras brought it to Mexico, making outstanding contributions to the newly independent nation in educational philosophy, system, and methods. In the mid-19th century, with the absence of a centralized institution for public education in Mexico, the Lancaster Company took on the significant responsibility of guiding the direction of national public education development. Although this function did not persist for too long due to political changes in Mexico, the educational system continued to play an important role in the Mexican education sector. The Lancaster Company and its teaching system exerted a positive and profound influence on the democratization and secularization of education in Mexico, laying important foundations for the modernization and reform of Mexican education.

O uso da bicicleta tem sido incentivado como alternativa sustentável, rápida e barata para a mobilidade das pessoas nos centros urbanos. Porém, sua adoção depende diretamente da infraestrutura disponível, do clima, da segurança, da disponibilidade de equipamentos compartilhados e do incentivo dos governos e da sociedade. Este artigo analisa como São Paulo, a maior cidade da América do Sul com mais de 12 milhões de habitantes, se posiciona em relação às 10 cidades mais cicláveis do mundo. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica utilizando dados do Índice Global de Cidades para Bicicleta (GBCI) de 2022. Comparamos os 16 indicadores do índice organizados em 6 categorias por meio de estatística descritiva. Os resultados mostram que São Paulo possui clima adequado para o uso da bicicleta como mobilidade urbana, mas apresenta baixo percentual de utilização devido aos maiores riscos de roubos e furtos, infraestrutura precária e falta de estrutura de compartilhamento. Porém, foram realizados investimentos recentes em infraestrutura e eventos para incentivar a adoção da bicicleta o que está posicionando a cidade na classificação do GBCI, mesmo ainda estando longe do patamar das cidades mais cicláveis do mundo.

As filas representam um método de organização que estabelece uma sequência para atender às solicitações dos clientes. Entretanto, a permanência nas filas pode exceder o limite de espera considerado aceitável, resultando em uma experiência desfavorável para os usuários. Em um contexto que destaca a relevância das filas, este artigo realiza uma análise de filas de espera em uma empresa de transporte, especificamente no processo de recebimento de mercadorias. Com o objetivo de avaliar o tempo médio de espera nessa operação, iremos compará-lo com um modelo de simulação desenvolvido para reduzir o tempo de espera nas filas. A partir dos dados fornecidos pela transportadora, foi identificado que o tempo médio de espera pode ser superior ao considerado padrão. Este achado indica a necessidade de uma investigação mais aprofundada, o estudo permitiu identificar as deficiências no atendimento da transportadora, resultando em uma proposta de melhoria para reduzir o tempo de espera no recebimento de mercadorias.

Using big data analysis to optimize the two-wheel-drive model of green finance composite talent cultivation
Authors: Wang Rui , He Zhihao
Published: July 2024

The pervasive shift towards carbon neutrality is fundamentally transforming the trajectory of the financial sector and concurrently poses novel challenges for the development of multi-skilled talent in green finance. This paper adopts the sustainable development strategy of green finance as a theoretical framework, critically examines the specific talent needs within this sector, and proposes a model for cultivating composite talents accordingly. Employing the Koch assessment model, this study constructs a robust evaluation system for composite talent training. The entropy weighting method is utilized to allocate weights to various indicators, subsequently forming an assessment cloud model. Moreover, a multiple linear regression analysis is introduced to identify and analyze the determinants influencing the effectiveness of talent training initiatives. This research centers on University A, where a meticulously designed questionnaire was deployed to gather empirical data pertinent to the evaluation of talent training. The findings reveal that the dual-wheel drive approach to talent development primarily accentuates the action level, assigning it a weight coefficient of 0.3246. The overall assessment score for the effectiveness of talent cultivation stands at 72.42, indicating a favorable outcome. Among the variables studied, the pedagogical content and methods implemented by higher education institutions exhibit the highest influence coefficient of 0.492. Additionally, it is observed that a 1% increase in the scale of financial institutions correlates with a 0.358% enhancement in the effectiveness of talent cultivation. Given these insights, universities must enhance their collaborative efforts with financial entities to significantly boost the quality of composite talent cultivation in green finance.
