La filosofía como libertad y como vocación
Authors: Nubiola Jaime
Published: October 2022

According to the teachings of Josemaria Escriva, philosophy as a profession is a calling, whose essential features are intellectual freedom, personal responsibility and service to others. In the paper the real and complete freedom of members of Opus Dei in philosophical matters is highlighted.
Las insuficiencias del formalismo
Authors: Medina Cepero Juan Ramón
Published: October 2022

Without doubt, in modern society —specially within the European and Northeamerican boundaries— the formalistic doctrine of Dewey, Piaget, Kohlberg, Popper, Reed, Rest, Apel, Habermas and rorty has a deep influence at all levels: personal, social, political, and cultural. This study recognices the moral interest of the so called "consensus ethics", but points out important shortcomings of this approach.
Adam Smith: individuo, organización social y participación
Authors: Lázaro Raquel
Published: October 2022

According to Hayek the democracy is only possible with a system of free market. If this is true, the western democracies are full of "aporias" and contradictions which end up in continual disillusions. Democracy has grown amongst capitalist societies which currently show these deficiencies such as a low participation of citiziens in the public life, the priority given to material goods rather than spiritual ones, etc. This article shows how these deficiencies are the central points in the system of Adam Smith's free market, the father of the capitalist system.
Individualismo democrático y participación: la propuesta de A. de Tocqueville
Authors: Osorio Alfonso
Published: October 2022

In democratic societies, citizens forget the link between public and private affairs, so they isolate themselves form the society. Then, a few people gather all the power in their hands, and despotism arrives. In order to keep freedom, we need to make people discover the value of political participation, by showing them, in quotidian live, their interest on public affairs.
Naturaleza y libertad: Kant y la tradición racionalista
Authors: Arana Juan
Published: October 2022

In the Third Antinomy Kant exposes in a dramatically way the conflict between freedom and natural necessity. Kant uses denominations that they induce to confusion, because he resolves different problems than those we use to attribute to him. According to Kant, the new science opposes natural legality and freedom. This paper maintains that this false interpretation of the scientific epistemology depends on a slanted vision originated in the rationalistic metaphysics; among others reasons, because Kant takes the Physics from Wolff instead of Newton.
El problema de la deducción de una obligación. El deber para la teoría y la práctica
Authors: Prauss Gerold
Published: October 2022

Kant has been the only author who has attempted a deduction of ethical and legal obligations. He namely tried to deduce the ought from the free will. The fact that he finally resorted to the fact of reason proves that he did not succeed in the former deduction. In order to do so, he should have found an additional ground to add to the free will, for the relationship between morality and free will cannot be analytic. It is argued that the addition of such a ground would have not invalidated the argument, neither does it involve any naturalistic fallacy, since the free will is not a natural fact, but rather something intentional. The article shows how far Kant would have gone had he reflected further upon the intentional character of the will.
La vía segura de la filosofía
Authors: Pérez de Laborda Miguel
Published: October 2022

The secure way of Philosophy. In the Prologue to the first Critique Kant gives some notes to recognize if a science goes his own secure way. The author discusses if Philosophy is able to follow the science’s way, or if —in doing so— goes against its own nature.
The Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas: History and Mision
Authors: Lobato OP Abelardo
Published: October 2022

A presentation of one of the most important Thomistic institutions, the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas, founded by Pope Leo XIII in 1879, and renewed in 1999 by John Paul II. The article covers the origins of the project, its long history, and its recent reform.
Aquinas' Roman Commentary on Peter Lombard
Authors: Boyle John F.
Published: October 2022

The address presents the recently discovered second, Roman commentary of St. Thomas Aquinas on Peter Lombard’s Liber sententiarum and offers some reflections on work to be done by scholars in the study of this text. The first part of the address presents the manuscript and its circumstances to argue for the authenticity of the text. The second part briefly describes the character and content of Thomas’ Lectura romana. The third part addresses a concern expressed by Frs. Dondaine and Torrell that a rationalist tendency in the text’s consideration of the Trinity raises questions of its authenticity.
La antropología de Cornelio Fabro
Authors: Acerbi Ariberto , Romera Luis
Published: October 2022

Cornelio Fabro’s rich anthropological reflections are not as well known as his ritings and essays on Saint Thomas Aquinas, Søren Kierkegaard and atheism. His research on perception and freedom aims to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the existential unity of the human person. In this article, we develop the key concepts of Fabro’s thought on freedom, which are based primarily upon his university lectures and other unpublished manuscripts.
Authors: Sellés Juan F.
Published: October 2022

We present 8 articles about the antropology of 7 philosophers of the XX century (Husserl, Gadamer, Pareyson, Fabro, Pieper, De Lubac and Mouroux), and the doctors who have writen these articles (respectively, J .J. Borobia, F. F. Labastida, P. Blanco, L. Romera, J. J. Franck, J.M. Galván and J. Alonso).
Religión, razón y convivencia. Entrevista a Rémi Brague
Authors: Murillo José Ignacio
Published: October 2022

Prof. Brague explores in this interview the usefulness of the study of medieval thought in order to understand the problems of our time. He reflects on the different approaches to reason, politics and religion in Islam and Christianity, and the problems which derivate from the radical modern separation between society and religion. Is it correct to ascribe the casuse of social conflicts to religion or to a strong rationality? Is it possible in the long run to build a society without any religion? Why is the notion of natural law controversial in modern times? And what is the relation between natural law and the law of God, as proposed by certain religions?
Ética socrática y moral cristiana
Authors: Polo Leonardo
Published: October 2022

This article compares certain aspects of Socratic ethics and of Christian morality. It stresses what Christian morality adds to Socratic ethics on the basis of Revelation, and surveys certain versions of Christian ethics which its author considers to be misguiding. In particular, the author notes defects in Luther’s, Kant’s and Fenelon’s ethical views, and in certain other views which stand in clear opposition to Christian ethics, such ad that of Nietzsche and other postmodern authors.
Juicio, ley y aplicación en Kant. Un problema central de la "Crítica de la facultad de juzgar"
Authors: Molina Eduardo A.
Published: October 2022

In this article I study Kant's doctrine of the power of judgement

(aesthetic and theological). I focus on its main function of rendering

possible the transition from the lawfulness of nature to the

realization of practical ends. In order to do so, I analyze the

concept of “spontaneity” and the principle of “purposiveness of

nature”, understood as a “principle of contingency”, according to

Kant's explanation in the Critique of the Power of Judgement.
Una crítica del problema mente-cuerpo en la tradición analítica
Authors: Balaban Oded
Published: October 2022

Everybody knows, by experience, that the mind can "determine" the body to motion and rest. However, nobody knows how this phenomenon is possible. This ignorance is a consequence of the limitations of our categories of thought. The awareness of our ignorance will lead to understand why we are unable to fathom the link between body and mind.
El pragmatismo: ¿un nombre antiguo para nuevas maneras de pensar?
Authors: Mayorga Rosa María
Published: October 2022

This article provides an introductory overview and comparison of the pragmatism of Charles Peirce, the founder of the American movement, with aspects of the pragmatism of disciples such as William James, F.C.S. Schiller, and John Dewey, including Peirce’s reactions to these latter thinkers, and some observations on the place of pragmatism in the 21st century.
Ortega y el espíritu del 98. El pragmatismo como transfondo: Ortega, Maeztu y Baroja
Authors: Armenteros Eduardo
Published: October 2022

In the background to Ortega’s controversial relationship with some of the most prominent members of the Spanish Generation of '98, there is a gradual shift in Ortega’s original idealism towards a pragmatism. This move takes him from an original confrontation with Maeztu and Baroja to a later critical —even cryptic— acceptance of several of their philosophical theses. The 50th anniversary of the deaths of Ortega and Baroja is a good opporunity to begin an exploration of the question.
Propiedad y derechos subjetivos
Authors: Cristi Renato
Published: October 2022

Nedelsky and Kelsen criticize the notion of subjective rights. While Nedelsky does so on the basis of a relational theory of rights founded on the Hegelian intersubjective recognition, Kelsen rejects Hegel’s theory of rights because property, the paradigmatic subjective right, appears to be constituted prior to intersubjectve recognition. This paper probes into Hegel’s conception of property to elucidate the root of the divergence between Nedelsky and Kelsen. Pierson v. Post is examined as an illustration of that divergence.
La guerra: ¿materia moral o acción inmoral?
Authors: Cruz Prados Alfredo
Published: October 2022

A moral doctrine on war, which establishes the moral conditions of making war, is something quite different from a moral doctrine on the international use of force, which condemns war as an inmoral action in itself. If our options are for the latter, we should be provided with a more efficient and equitable way to solve international conflicts than war, because the moral condemnation of war undermines the grounds on which the moral and legal doctrine on war has been traditionally based.
Un capítulo sobre las identidades políticas modernas: la izquierda a la luz de las tesis de Carl Schmitt
Authors: Ghiretti Héctor
Published: October 2022

Since it appeared during the French Revolution and for about two centuries, the left/right distinction has been one of the most extended and significant forms of political identity. This pair of synthetic and complex concepts have been a real challenge to political science. The left is the original term of the pair, the one that gives birth to political opposition. Carl Schmitt’s concept of the political can be an interesting and provoking theoretical framework to improve our understanding of the left as a political identity.
Gaston Bouthoul y la polemología
Authors: Molina Jerónimo
Published: October 2022

Gaston Bouthol founded a particular sociology known as polemology. Skeptical about the pacifism and critic of the juridical illusion of the international regulation of the peace-phenomenon, he studied the war-phenomenon without moralising prejudices. Polemology, that involves a critic of culture, is focused on the social function of war, known as the most important institution of destruction. The study of major wars enabled him to raise an hypothesis that foresees the periodicity of wars.
La mente en la naturaleza. El problema de la finalidad de lo inconsciente
Authors: Echarte Luis E.
Published: October 2022

En este artículo estudio el problema de la finalidad inconsciente, primeramente, comparando tres alternativas interpretaciones fisicalistas representadas en el pensamiento de Nicolai Hartmann, de Daniel Dennett y de Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Con ello muestro cómo la perspectiva fenomenológica del primero saca a relucir las carencias del eliminativismo de Dennett y del panpsiquismo del Teilhard. Sin embargo y, en segundo lugar, critico la idea de Hartmann de que los fines sean eventos inaccesibles al conocimiento objetivo, utilizando algunos de los planteamientos de Elizabeth Anscombe y Anthony Kenny. Pero también, y como conclusión, reconozco que no es posible evitar un cierto grado de incertidumbre en la verificación de la existencia de finalidad, lo que me lleva a defender una posición que denomino Finalismo Crítico.
¿Puede la libertad ser suplantada por conceptos sucedáneos?
Authors: Arana Juan
Published: October 2022

El estudio se centra en un aspecto de la problemática de las relaciones entre naturaleza y libertad. Con el término “concepto sucedáneo de la libertad” se designa cualquier noción que —conservando o rechazando el término “libertad”— trata de explicar el ser y obrar humanos en función exclusiva de mecanismos naturales. A lo largo de la exposición se explora la viabilidad de este tipo de apuesta teórica, para acabar rechazándola.
¿Comprender la libertad? Entre la biología y la metafísica
Authors: Murillo José Ignacio
Published: October 2022

El estudio de la libertad plantea el problema de cuál es el método

o los métodos más adecuados y qué podemos esperar de ellos. La

filosofía clásica accede a la libertad desde la noción de naturaleza,

mientras que la filosofía moderna, que concibe la naturaleza de un

modo mecanicista y ateleológico, accede a ella desde la subjetividad.

Dos ejemplos de estos planteamientos son, respectivamente,

los de Aristóteles y Schelling. Se analizan sus méritos y

sus deficiencias para dar cuenta de los rasgos esenciales de lo que

entendemos por libertad.
Libertad y necesidad
Authors: Alarcón Enrique
Published: October 2022

La libertad no coincide con el libre arbitrio, la capacidad de elegir entre alternativas diversas y contingentes. No es la variedad de opciones lo que incrementa la voluntariedad y libertad del querer, sino la índole de los bienes, siempre preferibles cuando coinciden en un solo objeto, y no repartidos entre alternativas opuestas a elegir. De ahí que los bienes mayores y más libremente queridos sean aquellos sin alternativa, únicos, necesarios y, como tales, inelegibles y nunca escogidos.
Cómo la libertad entra en la filosofía
Authors: Nicolaci Giuseppe
Published: October 2022

En tanto que la cuestion del ser exige un analisis del ser en grado maximo, cualquier metafisica debe contener una referencia interna o externa a la ciencia sobre Dios. En Aristoteles, esta cuestion viene inseparablemente unida a la cuestion de como Dios es libre y como los seres libres pueden tratar cuestiones tales como la cuestion del ser. Este articulo se pregunta por el modo como se puede hacer metafisica y como se ha entendido historicamente la relacion entre libertad y filosofia como empresa humana.
Libertad como causa. Heidegger, Kant y el problema metafísico de la libertad
Authors: Vigo Alejandro G.
Published: October 2022

El presente trabajo examina la crítica de Heidegger a la concepción kantiana de la libertad como un tipo peculiar de causa. Con ella Kant consuma tendencias operantes en una larga tradición, cuyos orígenes remontan a la ontología griega, que documenta la comprensión del ser como presencia. Pero el enfoque causal de la libertad no permite hacer justicia a sus raíces más profundas en la propia trascendencia del Dasein.
Consumo e hipermodernidad: una revisión de la teoría de Gilles Lipovetsky
Authors: Alonso Benito Luis E. , Fernández Rodríguez Carlos J.
Published: October 2022

Dentro de la sociología francesa actual, Gilles Lipovetsky se ha convertido de forma paulatina en uno de los sociólogos con mayor proyección internacional, con sus finos análisis sobre las sociedades postmodernas. En este artículo se plantea una revisión crítica de las principales líneas argumentativas que expone el autor francés. El objetivo es el de reflexionar sobre las limitaciones de su aproximación a los conceptos de postmodernidad, hipermodernidad, y consumo.
Environmental change and the future of consumption: implications for consumer identity
Authors: Crane Diana
Published: October 2022

Puesto que los actuales niveles y modos de consumo no son ambientalmente sostenibles, los consumidores necesitan concienciarse de las cuestiones medioambientales y de las implicaciones políticas de sus prácticas. Este artículo rastrea algunos elementos que afectan al denominado “consumo verde” en varias áreas: vestido, transporte, alimento y gestión doméstica. El consumo ecológico es un fenómeno complejo, con influencias en el ámbito societal de movimientos sociales, boicots o legislación gubernamental, y en el plano individual presenta influencias de la clase social, los ingresos, la educación o el estilo de vida. La mayoría de los estudios que han examinado la relación entre actitudes específicas ante este tipo de consumo y el comportamiento real de los consumidores, revelan inconsistencias entre tales actitudes y las conductas. Esta discrepancia entre actitud y comportamiento puede explicarse por el hecho de que el consumo verde está fuertemente asociado a un específico estilo de vida, el de las clases medias, más que tratarse de un fenómeno de difusión generalizada.
Sociedad abierta, progreso y discusión crítica en Popper
Authors: Muñoz Ferriol Amparo
Published: October 2022

Los términos sociedad abierta, progreso y discusión crítica están conectados en el pensamiento de Popper. Para mostrar su relación, este artículo, en primer lugar, caracteriza este modelo de sociedad y los aspectos de progreso detectados en él. Después, expone la relevancia de la discusión crítica tanto en la génesis como en la forma de proceder de la sociedad abierta. Luego, analiza la confianza que tiene Popper en el progreso. Y, por último, destaca la importancia del progreso moral para la sociedad abierta.
Causalidad y Manifestación en el Neoplatonismo Medieval
Authors: Soto-Bruna Mª Jesús
Published: October 2022

En el neoplatonismo medieval el concepto de causalidad es asociado al de manifestación para dar razón de la creación divina de mundo como teofanía. El problema radical al que se enfrenta el pensar en los diversos autores estudiados, de Eriúgena a Eckhart, es el de explicar cómo el Absoluto —Ser, Bien y Unidad más allá de todo ente―podría comunicar el ser a la criatura y cuál sería entonces la condición metafísica de posibilidad de la alteridad.
El lenguaje político: transformaciones y teorías
Authors: Flórez Miguel Cirilo
Published: October 2022

El artículo analiza la transformación que se produce en el lenguaje político a partir de las traducciones al latín de las obras éticas y políticas de Aristóteles en el siglo XIII. Se destaca el papel central de Tomás de Aquino, que inaugura la tradición tomista dentro de la cual se elabora un paradigma político que tiene el reino como núcleo. Dentro de este paradigma el rey no es caracterizado desde el punto de vista del poder, sino como “vicario de la multitud”. Esta tradición política es alternativa al republicanismo de algunos pensadores políticos italianos y a la razón de estado que acabará triunfando en la modernidad. El artículo habla de un humanismo tomista alternativo a los otros humanismos del renacimiento.
El tratado "De optima politia" del Tostado: una visión singular en el siglo XV hispano sobre las formas políticas de gobierno
Authors: Fernández Vallina Emiliano

Esta pequeña composición ofrece reflexiones sobre la comunidad humana que funda la política, sobre la ciudad como sede de la constitución política, sobre el mejor gobierno posible y la crítica de algunos elementos platónicos, como el comunismo de esposas y la condición y valor de la familia. ElTostado introduce como autor y fuente principal de inspiración de su pensamiento a Aristóteles en la España prehumanista y en los ambientesuniversitarios del siglo XV.
«Virtud, hija del cielo»: sobre el pensamiento moral de fray Luis de León
Authors: Martín Gómez María
Published: October 2022

En el curso académico 1578-1579 fray Luis de León accede a la cátedra de Filosofía moral en la Universidad de Salamanca. Aunque en el tiempo que estuvo en esta cátedra, fray Luis se vio obligado a explicar la filosofía moral de Aristóteles, a lo largo de este artículo comprobaremos que el pensamiento moral de fray Luis de León se nutre de otras muchas fuentes provenientes de la filosofía antigua.
Ferrea razionalità e logica ineludibile nel monismo ontologico assoluto di Parmenide
Authors: Abbate Michele
Published: October 2022

La interpretación monista de la ontología de Parménides aquí propuesta parece confirmada por la lógica ineludible que impregna enteramente su pensamiento. A pesar del carácter fragmentario de su poema, es posible reconstruir la férrea racionalidad de la ontología parmenídea. Esta lógica intrínsecamente coherente pone de manifiesto la absoluta necesidad de la naturaleza monística del ser. En esta perspectiva parece evidente la absoluta incompatibilidad de la perfecta racionalidad y coherencia de la verdad con la dimensión engañosa e inconsistente de la doxa.
El debate sobre el determinismo: Nuevas perspectivas desde la ciencia contemporánea
Authors: Vanney Claudia
Published: October 2022

En el último siglo la cuestión del determinismo/indeterminismo de la naturaleza se ha presentado de manera renovada tanto en la física (mecánica cuántica, teoría del caos), como en la biología (teoría de la evolución, biología del desarrollo, teoría de la complejidad) y en las neurociencias (problema de la libertad). Es necesario hacer una correcta diferenciación de los niveles epistemológicos, ontológicos y metodológicos en juego a fi n de evaluar tanto el alcance como los límites de las nuevas teorías y afrontar así adecuadamente el recurrente problema del reduccionismo.
Medición y decoherencia desde la perspectiva de los sistemas cerrados
Authors: Fortin Sebastian
Published: October 2022

En este trabajo se discuten los problemas que se presentan en el modelo de medición basado en decoherencia. Debido a que el origen de las críticas a este modelo se encuentra en el uso de los estados reducidos de sistemas abiertos, se propone un cambio de enfoque. Por un lado, la adopción de la perspectiva de los sistemas cerrados permite dar cuenta de procesos irreversibles en sistemas que no interactúan con un ambiente. Por otro lado, el enfoque de los valores medios hace posible el estudio de la evolución de los sistemas cuánticos sin apelar a sus estados. La combinación de ambos enfoques da como resultado una formulación de la decoherencia cuántica, cuya aplicación al problema de la medición supera las críticas del enfoque original.
Indeterminismo y providencia divina
Authors: Silva Ignacio
Published: October 2022

Muchas propuestas innovadoras se han ofrecido en los últimos años para solucionar el debate acerca de la providencia divina en la naturaleza, centrándose sobre todo en el indeterminismo causal natural que parecería permitir a Dios obrar en la naturaleza. Al analizar estas propuestas, sin embargo, se concluye que Dios es reducido a una causa entre causas. Para evitar esta conclusión, sugiero analizar la doctrina de Tomás de Aquino acerca de la providencia y el obrar de Dios a través de las causas contingentes creadas.
Acedia y tedio en Tomás de Aquino. ¿Una cuestión de inapetencia espiritual?
Authors: Martin de Blassi Fernando G.
Published: October 2022

El presente trabajo intenta mostrar el modo en que Tomás de Aquino tematiza el vicio de la acedia como taedium operandi en la Summa Theologiae II-II, q. 35. Para ello, se procederá en la recuperación, y consecuente análisis, de los elementos tanto sistemáticos cuanto doctrinales sobre cuya base el Aquinate desarrolla esta temática.
Tomás de Aquino y las tradiciones abrahámicas
Authors: López-Farjeat Luis Xavier
Published: October 2022

Esta introducción explica el impacto que las tradiciones judía e islámica tuvieron en la fi losofía medieval, así como el intercambio intelectual que existió entre las tradiciones abrahámicas. El papel de la tradición islámica fue particularmente importante, ya que las teorías e ideas fi losófi - cas de pensadores como Avicena, Averroes, Avempace, y otros, fueron discutidas y con frecuencia reinterpretadas, adaptadas y adoptadas por muchos teólogos y fi lósofos cristianos y judíos, quienes recurrieron a ellas para utilizarlas de distintas formas y en discusiones diversas, tal como se muestra en la presentación de cada uno de los artículos que conforman este volumen.
El fraile y el visir sobre el ámbito de las ciencias teoréticas
Authors: Houser R. E
Published: October 2022

Si bien la importancia de Avicena como fuente del pensamiento de Tomás de Aquino es generalmente reconocida, los detalles de esa dependencia apenas comienzan a trabajarse. Este artículo se ocupa de las enseñanzas de Avicena en lo que respecta a los “sujetos” de las ciencias teoréticas —física, matemáticas y metafísica— tal y como se presentan en la Introducción al Libro de la Curación. Posteriormente, se muestra su influencia en el comentario de Tomás de Aquino al De trinitate, de Boecio, q. 5, art. 1. A través de una comparación entre Avicena y Tomás se muestra la profunda influencia que tuvo Avicena en la comprensión tomista del rango de las tres clases de ciencias teoréticas.
Elitismo intelectual y la necesidad de la fe según Maimónides y Tomás de Aquino
Authors: Romero Carrasquillo Francisco
Published: October 2022

En su Comentario al De Trinitate de Boecio 3.1, Tomás de Aquino cita a Maimónides, de quien afi rma que presenta cinco razones a favor de la necesidad de la fe. Los intérpretes suelen ver a Tomás de Aquino como si “hubiera puesto a Maimónides de cabeza”. En el presente artículo se retoma el texto de Maimónides (acerca de las cinco razones por las que la metafísica debe reservarse a los doctos y ocultarse a las masas), y se sitúa en el contexto de su misticismo racional. Comparándolo con el pensamiento místico cristiano de Tomás de Aquino, se muestra cómo éste no está citando erróneamente, ni invirtiendo ni violentando el texto de Maimónides; más bien, Tomás de Aquino complementa el misticismo natural y racional de Maimónides con lo que él concibe como la perfección sobrenatural de la virtud teologal de la fe.
Quevedo en la vida y obra de Rafael Chirbes
Authors: Llamas-Martínez Jacobo
Published: October 2022

En este artículo se muestra la influencia de la figura y obra de Quevedo en los textos escritos por Rafael Chirbes desde el año 2001 aproximadamente. La impronta quevedesca ayuda a comprender mejor la forma, intención y tono de Los viejos amigos (2003), Crematorio (2007) y En la orilla (2013), y también la evolución de la trayectoria personal y literaria de Chirbes. Para explicar todo ello son fundamentales las marcas de lectura en sus libros de Quevedo (Los sueños, 1969, Historia de la vida del Buscón, 1970, Poemas escogidos, 1972, Obras en verso, 1981, Obras completas en prosa, 2003 y 2007) y los juicios que Chirbes fue diseminando sobre la obra del madrileño en sus diarios, A ratos perdidos, y en prólogos, charlas y conferencias, compiladas a modo de ensayos, en El novelista perplejo (2002) y Por cuenta propia. Leer y escribir (2010).

Presencia de los animales en el «Buscón»
Authors: Rodríguez-Mansilla Fernando
Published: October 2022

Este trabajo estudia la presencia de los animales en el Buscón de cuatro maneras: la onomástica animal; las metáforas y comparaciones de animales; los animales como personajes; y la teatralidad animal. El análisis muestra que los animales en la novela operan como un espejo en el cual han de verse los personajes en su verdadera dimensión, revelando quiénes son realmente. Los animales (los presentes, los aludidos o los empleados como tropos) en el Buscón señalan el descontrol, los impulsos, los instintos, así como los actos indecorosos o inmorales.

El ensayo saca a la luz citas implícitas y explícitas del soneto de Quevedo "Represéntase la brevidad de lo que se vive y cuán nada parece lo que se vivió" en algunas páginas de crítica de arte y de narrativa del escritor italiano Francesco Biamonti (1928-2001) e indaga los motivos de la predilección de Biamonti por este soneto de Quevedo.
Impact of high hydrostatic pressure on the single nucleotide polymorphism of stress-related dnaK, hrcA, and ctsR in the Lactobacillus strains
Authors: Bucka-Kolendo Joanna , Sokołowska Barbara
Published: October 2022

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widespread in environments and can either have a positive impact because their ability to survive in harsh conditions and influence the product (probiotic properties, change of structure-EPS [exopolysaccharides], etc.), or a negative impact, (so not needed) because of their spoilage ability (beer, juices). High hydrostatic pressure (HHP), one of the non-thermal preservation methods used in the food industry, can force the LAB to activate the adaptative mechanisms. Under pressurization, the changes in the bacteria cells can occur at the transcriptional or translational level. This study evaluated the HHP on the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) changes in three genes, dnaK, ctsR, and hrcA, related to the stress-response mechanism in LAB. The correlation between the DNA polymorphism and the gene expression under HHP stress was assessed. The applied pressure of 300 MPa resulted in a low ratio of nonsynonymous substitutions to the synonymous substitutions (0 to 1.12), and a lower number of mutations was observed for pressurized strains (from 6 in hrcA to 11 in dnaK) than in controlled (from 3 in ctsR to 92 in hrcA). In all pressurized strains, the expression of genes was observed, whereas, in control strains, the gene expression was detected in three out of five strains. Although there was a noticeable change in stress-related gene expression after HHP, there was no correlation with SNPs. At the same time, with a high frequency of synonymous changes in nucleotide and high diversity for hrcA and dnaK, a very low diversity was found in ctsR sequences. The LAB strains stress response mechanisms are much more complex. The study requires information on the general mechanism and changes in the membranes’ composition, proteome changes, and gene expression patterns. The mutations in genes related to stress can have important implications for the strains’ fitness effect and adaptive ability of LAB strains, especially considering their food industry implication where the HHP techniques are used.
Distúrbio mineral e ósseo: prevalência subestimada nos estágios iniciais da doença renal crônica
Authors:   Universidade Federal de São João del Rei, Nogueira Quadros Karla Amaral , Augusto de Morais Flávio , Coelho de Vasconcelos Francisco Edson , Ávila Watanabe Yoshimi José , de Morais Bessa Allan , de Rezende e Silva Fernanda Marcelino , Marques Guedes João Victor , Silva Belo Vinícius , Silva Cardoso Clareci , Otoni Alba
Published: October 2022

Introdução: o objetivo foi avaliar a prevalência do distúrbio mineral e ósseo em pacientes com doença renal crônica e a associação entre Taxa de Filtração Glomerular estimada (TFGe) e os indicadores do distúrbio mineral e ósseo (DMO) (cálcio, fósforo e PTH) em pacientes renais crônicos não dialíticos. Materiais e Métodos: estudo seccional da linha de base de uma coorte de dois anos, com adultos e idosos renais crônicos em tratamento conservador. Para identificação do DMO utilizamos os seguintes valores séricos: PTH (> 150 pg/mL) e/ou hipocalcemia (Ca < 8,8mg/dl) e/ou hiperfosfatemia (P > 4,6 mg/dl). Na análise estatística utilizou-se: regressão de Poisson; T de Student, Mann Whitney e correlações de Pearson e Spearman. Nível de significância foi de 5%. Resultados: prevalência de DMO de 54,6% (n=41) (IC 95%: 43,45 - 65,43). A maior prevalência de DMO foi em pessoas do sexo feminino, alfabetizadas, idosas, não etilistas, não tabagistas, sedentárias e de cor de pele branca, porém, sem diferença estatística entre os grupos com e sem DMO. As correlações entre P e PTH com TFGe foram significativas, inversas, de força moderada (p= <0,005 e p = 0,003; coeficientes de correlação = - 0,312 e - 0,379 respectivamente). Discussão:os achados desse estudo mostraram que existe uma lacuna no acompanhamento do DMO-DRC pela atenção primária e a prática clínica deve ser revista. Conclusão:identificou-se prevalência robusta de DMO nos estágios precoces da DRC, além de correlações significativas entre o aumento dos níveis de fósforo e PTH e piora das funções renais.
Models of Nominating the Mining Objects of the Ural Gold and Rock Crystal Deposits in the Comparative Aspect
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Kostylev Yuri S.
Published: October 2022

This article discusses the names of mining objects of gold and rock crystal located in the Southern, Middle, and Circumpolar Urals. These include names of mines, placers, veins, and other artificial objects located on the territory of deposits and associated with the extraction of these minerals. The purpose of the study is to identify the main models of object nomination and compare specific cases of using these models depending on the characteristics of the extracted raw materials, methods of their development and the geographical location of the deposit. The author analyses a total of 627 names. The article refers to specialised works on the history of gold mining, mining of rock crystal, and the history of the development of specific deposits. There are three main models of object nomination: anthroponymic, toponymic (according to the origin of the toponym) and object-motivated (according to the nomination situation). In different fields, these models are presented in different proportions and specific implementations. Thus, the anthroponymic model becomes the leading one for the Beryozovsky gold deposit, the toponymic one for the Circumpolar Ural deposits of rock crystal, and the object-motivated units are represented at each of the deposits, quantitatively significantly inferior to the names given based on other nomination models. It is concluded that the leading characteristic for the emergence and development of a particular nomination model for specific deposits is the nature of its development (private prospector / regular state), as well as the number of objects subject to naming. The economic development of the territory of the deposit prior to the start of mining on it also plays a role. At the same time, the nature of the extracted mineral does not matter significantly.
The Soviet World of the 1930s in Czech Literature: Jiřн Weil and His Novel Moscow — the Border

Published: October 2022

This article considers the work of the Czech writer J. Weil (1900–1959) and, in particular, his novel Moscow — the Border (1937) in a broad cultural and historical context. Weil’s fate and work were closely connected with Soviet Russia. Like other leftist Czech intellectuals, Weil was attracted by communist ideas and interested in the new Soviet Russia which claimed to rebuild the world. Weil’s relationship with the Soviet state was not easy — having gone to work in Moscow in 1934, he was already repressed in early 1935 during Stalin’s purges, and at the end of 1935 miraculously returned to Prague. The clash with Soviet reality was unavoidable. As a result, the Czech writer captured the complex impression of what he saw and felt in the USSR in his novel Moscow — the Border. The novel was one of the first (if not the first) works of fiction dedicated to the Soviet reality of the 1930s; it sees Soviet life from the perspective of foreign characters trying to find their place in Stalinist Moscow, following the second five-year plan. Their fates in the novel, on the one hand, demonstrate possible ways of interacting with the Soviet world, and on the other hand, reveal the deep contradictions of the Soviet state. In his novel, Weil does not try to give an unambiguous assessment of the Soviet system; the artistic form of the work allows the author to avoid direct assessments and conclusions and convey the complexity of the Soviet reality of the 1930s. In Czech criticism, the novel caused and still causes controversy; it is given different, often opposite assessments, largely determined by the political and cultural situation.
King of Cyprus Peter I Lusignan: From Hero to Tyrant and Back
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Bliznyuk Svetlana V.
Published: October 2022

In this article, the author deals with the Cypriot society’s process of reflection regarding the life and death of the legendary king Peter I Lusignan of Cyprus (1359–1369). In world historiography, many works are devoted to his life and acts. The originality of this research lies in an innovative articulation of the issue, i.e. an attempt to understand the process of the victorious king’s transformation into a tyrant hated by everybody and then back into a hero. The author deals with the deeds of the king as a politician and crusader only to the extent that is necessary to explain the above processes. Peter I Lusignan could show his best side and impress others. If his policies were successful, he remained a courteous and glorious king. As soon as his domestic and foreign policy was defeated, the negative sides of his psyche came to the forefront. His tyranny became so unbearable that to his vassals his death seemed the only way to save themselves and the kingdom. However, then the Cypriot society reframes the murder as a moral sin, the penalty for which lies on all Cypriots, without exception. The society repents for the assassination. All the subsequent political, social, and economic hardships of the kingdom are explained through the prism of the sin of killing the king. The Cypriot society identifies itself with his great victories, his glory, and his greatness. His victorious crusades are recognised as part of the history of the Kingdom of Cyprus. This helps to bring Peter I Lusignan back as a victorious hero in historical memory.

This review considers the study by A. Di Michele, professor at the Free University of Bolzano (South Tyrol), dedicated to the pre-war and military experience, as well as the experience of captivity of Italian-speaking soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian army during World War I. The main emphasis is placed on its role in the process of their ethno-cultural and ethno-political self-identification, directly related to the population and identity politics pursued by the states of Europe and Russia in the second half of the nineteenth — first quarter of the twentieth centuries. It demonstrates what gaps A. Di Michele’s study is able to fill and what problems to actualise, focusing simultaneously on the regional, national, and supranational contexts of the topic of Austro-Hungarian soldiers of Italian origin during World War I and in Russian captivity.

This paper provides an overview of the project and the central role collaboration has played in the contracts for enabling works, design and construction, resulting in the development of a truly integrated project team.
Briefing: Rethinking urban infrastructure from an ecological perspective in a post-Covid-19 world
Authors: Mell Ian
Published: October 2022

Urban areas continue to change in response to climatic, engineering and socio-economic changes. Covid-19 exacerbated this by forcing many people to reflect on the composition of their local environment and evaluate the quality, quantity and provision of nature within urban areas. As a consequence of Covid-19 built infrastructure specialists have been further challenged to consider more ecologically focussed approaches to development that work within existing development frameworks. To achieve this, engineers, planners, architects and the environment sector should work more effectively to exchange knowledge, share best practice and create new practices that align engineered solutions with environmentally focussed design and management. It also requires a more nuanced appreciation of the elemental and thematic understandings of urban nature, which are often absent from development plans. If cities are to become more sustainable, a more holistic approach to development that integrates ecologically sensitive design with engineering innovation is needed. As a consequence, there is the potential to future-proof urban areas against the problems associated with health, climatic and economic change.
Performance assessment of bamboo bond strength in cement–fly ash mortar
Authors: Puri Vishal , Chakrabortty Pradipta , Majumdar Swapan
Published: October 2022

The novelty of this study is the combined experimental and statistical approach, which is showcased to predict and optimise bamboo–mortar bond strength, incorporating the effects of various material factors. The design of experiments method was used to quantify the impact of multiple factors affecting the bond strength. Firstly, different experimental pull-out tests were conducted in the laboratory to determine the effect of various factors (water/cement ratio, curing duration, cement/sand ratio, fly ash content and bamboo treatment) on bond strength development. Three failure patterns were observed – bamboo failure, bond failure and mortar failure. Secondly, using a two-level full factorial design method, different statistical models were formulated. These models were developed based on the surface treatment of the bamboo (model M1 (untreated) and model M2 (treated and untreated)). The effects of single factors and their interactions on bond strength development were quantified. The developed models were validated for the prediction of bond strength based on different factors. The developed statistical models were found to predict and simulate the experimental behaviour of bond strength with sufficient accuracy.
Investigation of Helicobacter pylori Antigen Positivity and Intestinal Parasite Coexistence in Stool Samples
Authors: DEMİREL Filiz , EVREN Kübra
Published: October 2022

Aim: Helicobacter pylori and intestinal parasitic infections are commonly seen, especially in areas with low socioeconomic status and poor hygiene conditions. H. pylori and Giardia duodenalis can be commonly found in patients with upper gastrointestinal system complaints. It is thought that the urease activity of H. pylori may help intestinal parasites pass into the intestines without being affected by the acidic environment of the stomach. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the association of H. pylori and intestinal parasites (IP) in patients with gastrointestinal system complaints. Material and Method: A total of 408 patients, who were admitted to our hospital with gastrointestinal complaints between 2018 and 2020 and whose H. pylori rapid antigen test was studied simultaneously with intestinal parasite examination in the stool, were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Out of 408 patients whose stool samples were examined, one or more intestinal parasites were detected in 80 (19.6%), and H. pylori antigen test was positive in 65 (15.9%). While there was no statistically significant difference between H. pylori positivity and age groups, the rate of IP detection was found to be significantly higher in children aged 6-18 years. The most prevalent IP was Blastocystis sp. in 74 (18.1%) patients. Intestinal parasite and H. pylori antigen co-positivity in stool samples was detected in eight patients and it was not found statistically significant. Conclusion: H. pylori and intestinal parasites are common all over the world. The relationship between H. pylori and IP is still controversial, and more studies that are comprehensive are needed to understand the association of H. pylori and IP, especially in patients with upper gastrointestinal system complaints.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD), is a irreversible decline in renal function that usually develops over the years. With its high prevalence, morbidity and mortality, is an important public health problem. Several issues contribute to increase in number of same in India. There are limited exercise guidelines on the optimal type, frequency, intensity, and duration of physical activity to prevent chronic kidney disease. There is a need to study whether physiotherapy interventions can improve cardiorespiratory fitness, reduce or prevent muscle wasting, make patients with chronic illness more independent in activities of daily living, and improve quality of life during or even before dialysis. Purpose of the study: To study the feasibility of physiotherapy treatment on functional capacity in chronic kidney disease patients. Results: The results were statistically significant with respect to all the outcome measures. Results showed improvement in all the outcome parameters and significant improvement was seen in 2-minute step test,1-min sit to stand test, and Fatigue severity scale. Conclusion: Based on results obtained it proves that exercises significantly improved patients exercise/functional capacity (muscular strength and aerobic endurance), quality of life, number of steps in 2-minute duration as well as number of repetitions of sit to stand in 1 minute duration and also decrease in experimental group.
