Published: November 2024

Aim:
In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), seropositivity for both anticitrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) and rheumatoid factor (RF) is associated with disease severity and therapeutic response. Biologic (b) disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) such as abatacept are recommended after inadequate response or contraindication to conventional synthetic DMARDs. This retrospective cohort study aimed to describe changes in Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) measures over 12 months among patients with ACPA+ and RF+ RA with an inadequate response to methotrexate treated with abatacept as a first-line bDMARD.
Patients & methods:
Patient data were abstracted from medical records by treating rheumatologists. Analyses included McNemar tests for paired proportions or paired
t
-tests to assess longitudinal changes in CDAI scores, and Kaplan–Meier methods for time-to-event outcomes. Serious AEs and rationale for initiating treatment were recorded.
Results:
Overall, 296 patients were included. Mean CDAI scores improved (decreased) by 34.0, 61.0 and 74.0% (all p < 0.001) from baseline to 3–6 months, 6–12 months and ≥12 months after abatacept initiation, respectively. Of 279 patients not in CDAI low disease activity (LDA) or remission at baseline, 24.7% of patients achieved it within 6 months, 56.3% within 12 months and 71.0% at any point during follow-up after abatacept initiation. Median time to CDAI LDA/remission was 10.2 months. Serious AEs were reported in 2.4% of patients. Common reasons reported by rheumatologists for initiating abatacept were effectiveness/efficacy (52.7%), safety (31.4%) and patient preference (25.3%).
Conclusion:
In this analysis of patients with ACPA+ and RF+ RA treated with abatacept as a first-line bDMARD in a clinical practice setting, clinical outcomes and remission rates were improved at all time points, providing real-world evidence to further support the use of abatacept in this patient population.
Educação a Distância no Brasil: Dilemas entre a Expansão da Modalidade e a Qualidade de Ensino
Authors: Fernandes Ariana P. de Sousa , Foroni Caetano Luiz , Silva Michele Maria da , Acosta Tássio
Published: November 2024

A educação a distância no Brasil é um profícuo campo de análise para se pensar as necessárias mudanças e adaptações em nome da melhoria educacional no país. Assim, buscamos contextualizar a origem da educação a distância no mundo, a forma como ela se adaptou à realidade necessária e como a pandemia do novo coronavírus impôs nova dinâmica do processo de ensino-aprendizagem - ainda que sem a devida capacitação profissional aos envolvidos. Nesse sentido, problematizamos os mecanismos utilizados, a necessidade conjuntural da situação e defendemos uma retomada das discussões sobre os caminhos que a EaD vem tomando ao longo da última década. Por fim, sustentamos a importância de que estas discussões se deram no campo da melhoria da qualidade de ensino e não nos lucros capazes de se gerar com a expansão da modalidade - seja às instituições privadas ou públicas.

A Inclusão nos Cursos Brasileiros de Graduação em Música à Distância
Authors: Oliveira Gleisson do Carmo
Published: November 2024

Esta é uma pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo descritiva, que investigou a presença da temática inclusão nos currículos dos cursos de graduação em Música à distância, nas instituições públicas do Brasil. Após um levantamento das universidades públicas ofertantes do curso de Música a distância, por meio de uma pesquisa documental, foram verificados os Projetos Pedagógicos dos Cursos (PPCs), com vistas à compreensão dos mecanismos utilizados para a inserção de temáticas inclusivas em tais programas formativos. Os resultados indicam que todas as instituições identificadas abordam práticas pedagógicas em seus componentes, indício de certo cuidado no tangir ao fornecimento de preparo prático para o ensino de música para pessoas com deficiência. Porém as disciplinas ofertadas carecem, ainda, de atenção, sobretudo, em relação às terminologias presentes nas ementas, por vezes desatualizadas, e às referências bibliográficas sugeridas, eventualmente, baseadas tão somente em áreas não musicais.

Authors: Novello Tanise Paula , Cofferri Fernanda Fátima
Published: November 2024

Com a expansão e consolidação da Educação a Distância (EaD) em diferentes contextos educacionais, torna-se necessário investigar os processos pedagógicos que permeiam essa modalidade de ensino. Nesse sentido, este estudo tem como elemento investigativo o feedback enquanto ferramenta para promover a permanência dos estudantes na EaD. O objetivo é compreender as perspectivas de tutores sobre o feedback e seu impacto na permanência dos estudantes na EaD. A pesquisa foi realizada durante um curso de formação de tutores em uma universidade federal brasileira, em que tutores registraram suas visões e entendimentos sobre o feedback. Os registros foram submetidos a uma análise qualitativa, utilizando a técnica da Análise de Conteúdo (Bardin, 2011). Os resultados foram organizados em duas seções: desafios e potencialidades do feedback; e o processo de articulação entre professor e tutor na elaboração de feedback. Assim, conclui-se que o feedback, quando atende as individualidades dos estudantes influencia na experiência formativa e na permanência na educação a distância.
‘Blessed are the Poor’ The Weberian Spirit of Capitalism Under Experimental Scrutiny
Authors: Fazio Andrea , Reggiani Tommaso , Santori Paolo
Published: November 2024

This paper empirically tests Max Weber’s thesis on how religious narratives, particularly the Protestant Ethic, influence attitudes toward wealth redistribution. Weber suggested that the Protestant Reformation, led to the belief that economic success was a sign of divine favor, legitimizing wealth inequality. Using a variation of the dictator game with "blessed" framing, we measure how participants’ redistribution behaviors change when primed with this narrative. Our results show that low-income Protestants exposed to the "blessed" narrative are less likely to redistribute wealth compared to Catholics, supporting Weber’s idea that Protestants justify inequality through divine providence. Furthermore, a narrative analysis reveals that Protestants interpret “blessing” as divine election, while Catholics focus more on well-being. These findings suggest that religious narratives significantly shape economic behaviors and preferences for redistribution, providing empirical support for Weber’s thesis.
The Double Valence of Trauma in the Age of Techno-Surveillance
Authors: Reed Ross Channing ,   National Philosophical Counseling Association
Published: November 2024

As a philosophical counselor, I encounter many individuals who live with an almost inexpressible grief, hopelessness, and despair. This paper argues that two macro-causes of these affects are philosophical and structural. This paper sets up a distinction between (1) biotic, ontological, rational value, and (2) abiotic, hyperreal, nihilistic value. Abiotic “value” now constitutes the hemorrhagic nihilism of our time. Kant, Nietzsche, Baudrillard, and Kierkegaard will be utilized to construct the philosophical argument tracing the movement from the biotic to the abiotic. This is the first valence of trauma, the cognitive/imaginative valence. Ruin porn, environmental grief, and structurally induced precarity will be utilized to provide historical evidence for the movement from the biotic to the abiotic. This is the second valence of trauma, the somatic-structural valence. The paper concludes that the double valence of hemorrhagic nihilism is, in essence, traumatic. Consequently, addiction to hyperreality has become the pandemic of our time.
Analysis of the Role of Philosophical Counselling in Nurturing Dynamic Leadership
Authors: Shukla Smita , Vaidya Priya M. ,   National Philosophical Counseling Association
Published: November 2024

The need to nurture dynamic leadership in all possible ways is felt all the more today in the world. Leadership must be aligned with the world where it can be stated that the world is too complex and is rapidly changing and hence, one person alone cannot provide all the answers. Dynamism in thought, word and action can certainly benefit the leader, the organization as well as the country in diverse ways. Leader can no longer be a person - a person who is in charge of a group and instead, the thought is that leadership can come from anyone. This means we need many leaders who are able to offer dynamic leadership that is needed in the modern age. Fallacious thinking most often leads to rigidity, self-centeredness, vindictiveness, biases, indifference in context to leadership are explicit today. For example, corruption, lack of commitment, opportunistic leadership etc. The possibility of nurturing dynamic leadership thought is an important proposition that this paper raises. This implies orienting leaders to eliminate fallacies and sharpen logical thinking in a gradual way. A good leader should exude integrity, self-awareness, courage, respect, empathy, and gratitude besides being an agile, effective delegator, and show the direction of growth. It is a belief that these key leadership qualities can be learned and improved through professional coaching, mentoring and counselling. Research indicates that value-based leadership generally leads to better decision-making, increased support for decisions and leader transparency, better follower morale, and opportunities to build trustworthy relationships. There is also a discussion that the leaders who appreciate the influence of servant leadership and emotional intelligence in their relationships have the potential to develop high-quality interpersonal relationships with all stakeholders. Hence, in view of leadership styles this paper is also an exploration of leadership styles that can be mentored through philosophical counselling.
L(G)BT Concerns
Authors: Nichols Erica ,   National Philosophical Counseling Association
Published: November 2024

Logic-Based Therapy and Consultation (LBTC) employs the use of guiding virtues—productive thought patterns and beliefs- through the use of shame-attacking exercises. Many transgender individuals experience dysphoria, which involves an extremely negative rating of oneself due to the mismatch they experience with their internal identity and bodily construction. This results from several kinds of emotional reasoning, like damning the world for being bigoted and hateful, or feeling trapped and unable to push through these struggles due to the awfulness of these experiences. The aim of this paper is first, to provide an expansive account of these issues while highlighting the emotional reasoning of these issues through the lens of LBTC, and second, to explicate effective remedies and shame-attacking exercises for common transgender issues.
Experts in Not Knowing
Authors: Tillmanns Maria daVenza , Borisov Sergey , van Sijl Claartje , Tiurean Anca C. , Papathanasiou Maria , Ramirez Paulina ,   National Philosophical Counseling Association
Published: November 2024

This article develops the ideas of infinite questioning and emergent dialogue as key characteristics of philosophical consultations. The authors have been members of a philosophical circle for several years, in which these and other aspects of the philosophical consultations have been shared, considered, and reflected upon, leading to the contouring of an integrated, embodied and dynamic approach, which is going to be described with reference to supporting theory and practice. Authors’ professional expertise ranges from philosophy with children, with parents, with teachers, with students, with individual clients and small groups or organisations. Philosophical counsellors are described as experts in not-knowing and we attempt to provide an integrative and clear view of their professional role, seeing that philosophers live a human life like their clients and therefore have no ultimate answers in response to clients’ questions. They do however have a paradoxical expertise, which we call expertise in not-knowing. This involves the art of questioning, particular skills for navigating the unpredictable territories of emergent dialogue and an availability to accompany deep reflective processes in a professional context in which the lines between expert and non-expert can be blurred. Both the professional and the client are self-reflecting, self-aware and exposed to shifts or transformation in their being and in their relating to the world, following a philosophical consultation. In this space of joint not-knowing, the expert can provide a sense of balance and stability based on trust and empathy in the relationship with the client. After developing these themes with references, examples and experiences from the practical work of each circle member in various contexts will be presented as illustrations. A conceptualization of results is drawn from common feedback and formal assessment following professional work with different types of clients as well as from the experienced impact by the facilitators of working in this way, as shared and processed in these circle meetings, where their work is periodically debriefed and reflected upon.
Connecting Philosophies
Authors: Kalamkar Chhandasi ,   National Philosophical Counseling Association
Published: November 2024

MIND—The complex organ in human beings that determines the way we think, live. It guides the entire course of our life. The mind is a complex structure. In today’s era we are constantly bombarded with information and the test of time is to take in the right amount of information and use it constructively. The mind can be easily diverted by distractions. In order to understand this flickering nature of mind there was an attempt to dive deep into the analysis of mind by renowned saint of Maharashtra Saint Samarth Ramdas during the sixteenth century. He in his monumental work, The Manache Shlok explored the way to train the mind to think systematically. Manache Shlok literally translates to (Dialogue with the mind). In order to uplift the mind Samarth Ramdas curated an innovative, spiritual way of life and tried to enlighten the fragment of divinity that resides in every human being. He teaches us how our mind is our enemy, friend and a teacher at the same time. This paper primarily focuses on the work of Saint Samarth Ramadas, who centuries ago decoded how the mind (mana) works, how it gets diverted and has also suggested the ways in which flaws can be avoided.Logic based therapy is a modality of philosophical counseling developed by philosopher Dr. Elliot D. Cohen. The theory began with the idea that many emotional and behavioral problems may largely be the result of bad logic. Humans upset themselves because of their faulty thinking. Thinking being the significant activity of the mind, needs to be done in a structured manner. According to LBT, a fallacy is a mistake in reasoning that leads to destructive or negative conclusions. There are eleven such fallacies that LBT identifies. The basic premise in which LBT believes is to train the mind to think rationally and not jumping to make conclusions. In the same manner Manache Shlok are instructions to the mind to train the mind to think positively and thereby lead to elevation of the self. This paper thus is an attempt to link the fallacies proposed by LBT and how comprehension of Manache Shloka {verses} will help the mind stay away from such fallacies by drawing parallels and understanding the contrasts and yet how both the philosophies have a common approach to deal with the mind. The paper is an attempt to understand Manache Shloka and Logic based therapy, as philosophies that are a way to uplift the mind. Both the philosophical approaches have curated their own ways to tackle with the unstable nature of mind, but one common ground which helps them corresponding is their common goal of betterment of mankind.
The Philosopher’s Can’tstipation
Authors: Simionescu-Panait Andrei ,   National Philosophical Counseling Association
Published: November 2024

Can’tstipation, or capacity disavowal, is a key topic and issue in Logic-Based Therapy and Consultancy. It also is a popular issue among clients of general Philosophical Practice. Despite the assumptions regarding the wisdom and detachment of philosophers from common problems, they are not immune from can’tstipation. On the contrary, philosophers develop their specific ways of being can’tstipated. LBT lists seven types of can’tstipation. Throughout this text, I will describe the custom-tailored versions of these seven types in the life of the generic contemporary philosopher. Given that philosophers nowadays are predominately part of the academic world, their can’tstipation will often be connected to the trials and tribulations of academic life.
The Development of Philosophical Practice in a Hospital Context
Authors: Svare Helge ,   National Philosophical Counseling Association
Published: November 2024

This article examines what comes to pass when philosophical practitioners start working in the institutional environment of a hospital, with its unique norms and culture through the experience of three philosophical practitioners in Norway. It finds that that a notable characteristic of these practitioners is their effort to avoid taking on the traditional helper role, which they perceive that other hospital professions are representing. Their ideal is to approach “life here and now” with openness, acceptance, curiosity, and wondering, while simultaneously supporting a serious, playful creativity in the search for new perspectives when relevant. For the patients, this offers a space where they can rediscover themselves as whole individuals, rather than rather only beings in need of help. The article concludes that philosophical practitioners have the potential to play a significant role within hospitals.
Rx Metaphysics
Authors: Daude Matthew M. ,   National Philosophical Counseling Association
Published: November 2024

Recent research on the structure of life-narratives and narrative identity suggests that meaning-making and narrative coherence are predictive of adjustment and resilience. I argue that the metaphysical presumptions operative in a client’s worldview are fundamental elements of meaning-making, and that these presumptions contribute to the life-narrative’s distinctive capacity to guide us through life-challenges. This application of metaphysical methodology to client worldviews represents a systematic extension of logic-based therapy. In this paper, I articulate a conceptual framework for worldview analysis and reconstruction using the resources of logic, metaphysics, and epistemology. I draw particularly on C. G. Jung’s concept of Auseinandersetzung, often inadequately translated as “working through,” John Dewey’s notion of “reconstruction in philosophy,” and José Ortega y Gasset’s exploration of worldview as a “basic orientation” in the world. I provide brief illustrations of this framework in practice, and I conclude with some observations about indications and contraindications for worldview reconstruction as a modality of philosophical practice.
The Thought of Suicide
Authors: Łączyński Piotr ,   National Philosophical Counseling Association
Published: November 2024

Main object of present work is to analyze thought embodied by Nietzsche’s aphorism from fourth part of Beyond Good and Evil: “The thought of suicide is a strong means of comfort: it helps get us through many an evil night” as potential tool to restore control over one’s own life during the strong existential crisis. An idiographic approach is assumed. There are proposed three theoretical cases which are the results of author’s direct life experiences and reflections. These cases of applying Nietzsche’s thought are considered from an interdisciplinary perspective. Three possible effects of implementing Nietzsche’s thought discussed in this paper indicate that the power of his words may bring relief to an individual in times of suffering. Their potential real impact may result from liberation from framework of good and evil as well as experience catharsis-like state with use of the mechanism of aversive stimulus.
CHARACTERIZATION OF ARSENIC TOLERANT RHIZOBIUM Sp. ISOLATED FROM ROOT NODULES OF VIGNA RADIATA
Authors: P. VEERABRAMHACHARI  , E. KARIALI
Published: November 2024

The rationale of the study was to characterize arsenic tolerant Rhizobiumsp. from root nodules of Vigna radiate in the vicinity of the fertilizer production plant contaminated with arsenic. The current investigation involved the interactions of Rhizobium sp. in remediating arsenic has been studied by isolating root nodules of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata) and analyzed for strain characterization, CFU/mL counts, biomass yield, enzymes (cellulase and amylase), and proteins. The screened bacteria were shown to be both arsenic tolerant and sensitive. All isolates were determined to be Rhizobium sp. based on colony, morphology, biochemistry, and nodulation ability analysis. The arsenic sensitivity of the chosen isolates was confirmed by low CFU/mL counts and low biomass output in the medium. The results showed that strain MRR121 is sensitive to arsenic, while strain VBCK1062 showed significant tolerance levels based on the arsenic sensitivity tests. The results emphasized that the sensitivity and tolerance of Rhizobium sp. isolates to arsenate was determined, with reference to their growth and biomass yields, enzyme assays, and protein profiles. The isolated Rhizobium strains exhibited growth retardation when the As concentration was raised beyond 25 mg/mL, as confirmed by the CFU and biomass. The study has clearly evidenced that while increased amounts of arsenic are extremely harmful to the Rhizobium strain The As tolerant strain VBCK1062, outproduced the sensitive strain in terms of proteins and enzymes (cellulase and amylase). Based on the computed similarity coefficient, there is a 76% similarity between the tolerant strain and the commercial (MTCC 616) strains. This study gives better understanding of plant-metal-microbe interactions and hence can be used as a criterion for isolation of As (V) tolerant Rhizobium sp. from metal contaminated agro-geo-ecosystems.

Authors: KHURAIJAM SHITLE KUMAR  , SALAM SHANTIKUMAR SINGH
Published: November 2024

The current turmoil in Manipur State has significantly impacted agriculture, likely to reduce agricultural or horticultural productions including pineapple. Traditional forecasting models typically assume ideal conditions and may not account for such extreme events. This study forecasts pineapple production using Regression, ARIMA, and ARIMAX models, incorporating cultivation area series to train the data. The high correlation (0.8979) between production and cultivation area supports using the area series as a covariate. For scenario-based forecasting, the cultivation area series is generated/simulated anticipating the impact of the turmoil on the cultivation area. The regression model explains 90.68% of the variance in production series, the ARIMA model (0, 2, 2) explains 81.79%, and the ARIMAX model explains 89.17%, effectively capturing changes in cultivation area. This study suggests that the Regression and ARIMAX models can provide realistic forecasts by considering anticipated changes in cultivation areas using scenario-based simulation of cultivation area making them adaptive to change in cultivation area.

This study investigated the mediating role of perceived pedagogical content knowledge of teachers on the relationship between students' experiences in modular learning and their motivation to succeed academically. The study was conducted using a quantitative study design with 300 junior and senior high school students selected using stratified sampling technique in the Island Garden City of Samal. Data was gathered using three sets of modified standardized survey questionnaires. Tests on the content validity and reliability of these instruments were conducted. The Mean, Pearson r Correlation Coefficient, and Path Analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings demonstrated high levels of motivation to achieve academically, very high level of pedagogical content knowledge, and high level of modular learning experience. The association between students' experience in modular learning and motivation to achieve academically, motivation to achieve academically and pedagogical content knowledge and students' experience in modular learning and pedagogical content knowledge were all statistically significant. Additionally, the current study demonstrated a partial mediation of pedagogical content knowledge on the relationship between students' experience in modular learning and motivation to achieve academically.

Prevalence of Latent Tuberculosis Infection among Residents of Social Housing
Authors: Khalafova E. T. , Bogorodskaya E. M.
Published: November 2024

The objective: to assess the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection among people living in social housing.

Subjects and Methods. Prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) was analyzed among residents of two social homes in Moscow; totally 936 people were examined. These individuals were given a skin test with the tuberculous recombinant allergen (TRA). To exclude tuberculosis, those with a positive response underwent examination and tests including chest computed tomography and 3 consecutive sputum smears for acid-fast mycobacteria. If tuberculosis was ruled out according to the results, the condition of these individuals was classified as latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI).

Results. Among those living in social housing, LTBI was more common in men than in women, OR=1.72 (95% CI 1.16–2.57). In persons with mental retardation, LTBI was detected more often than in those with schizophrenia: 20.68% versus 12.44%, p<0.05. The presence of concomitant diseases (diabetes mellitus, COPD, viral hepatitis, gastrointestinal pathology, oncology, and autoimmune diseases) is no risk factor for LTBI in people with mental pathology.

The objective: to provide molecular genetic characteristics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from patients with HIV-associated tuberculosis.

Subjects and Methods. Two groups of M. tuberculosis isolates were included in the study: 103 isolates from patients undergoing treatment for generalized tuberculosis with concurrent HIV infection, and 61 isolates from autopsy specimens of patients who had suffered from generalized tuberculosis and HIV infection. The Beijing genotype of M. tuberculosis isolates, its subtypes and major Russian subtypes were identified by PCR and real-time PCR methods based on the analysis of specific markers and genome loci (dnaA-dnaN::IS6110, Rv2664-Rv2665::IS6110, sigE, NTF, RD181). Genotyping of non-Beijing isolates was performed by spoligotyping followed by comparison with SITVIT2. The results were compared to the published data on the genetic diversity of M. tuberculosis in the North-West of the Russian Federation.

Results. In both groups, a predominance of isolates of the Beijing genotype was detected (89.3% and 70%, respectively), among which the majority belonged to subtypes 94-32 (51% and 44.1%) and B0/W148 (41.3% and 30%) related to the modern subline of the Beijing genotype. Some of the isolates belonged to the ancient subline of the Beijing genotype (8.7% and 4.6%). When compared to previously obtained data for the North-West of the Russian Federation, the proportion of MTB isolates of ancient subline from HIV-infected patients was significantly higher than among isolates isolated from HIV-negative patients (6.7% vs. 1.6%, P = 0.0028).

KH Abdul Wahid Hasyim is a prominent figure in Islamic education in Indonesia. This research explores his views on education, teaching methods, and their application in modern contexts. The aim is to understand his contributions deeply, evaluate the relevance of his concepts in current educational practices, and provide a foundation for innovation in progressive education systems. The research employs the Systematic Literature Review method to systematically explore Hasyim's pedagogical insights. Researchers gather, evaluate, and synthesize information from journals published between 2019-2024. Hasyim's educational perspective reflects the belief that education plays a strategic role in guiding individuals towards maturity, enhancing human dignity, and improving social conditions. The goal is to create individuals who are religious, knowledgeable, and intellectually sound, relevant in the modern educational context by integrating religious values with contemporary needs. Teaching methods like Wetonan, Sorongan, Hafalan, and Tutorial illustrate an adaptation between tradition and modernity, creating a holistic educational environment. According to Hasyim, teachers are agents of change, and students are active, creative, and independent learners. Hasyim's contributions in advocating inclusivity, liberalizing thought, reforming curricula, and establishing the Islamic University of Indonesia reflect his efforts to transform Islamic education to be more inclusive, progressive, and relevant to the times. Future research will focus on implementing Hasyim's teaching methods in modern education, evaluating the roles of teachers and students, and assessing his contributions to contemporary education, while promoting discussion forums to share thoughts on the implications of Hasyim's educational views in current educational practices.

DISGUSTING TELEVISION
Authors: Redmond Sean
Published: November 2024

Television readily and regularly produces moments of disgust, where revulsion and the fear of contamination rises up and takes one’s body over. One pushes away, or at, the techno-organic contagion as if its magical material presence must be held at bay. Or else one withdraws, withers from within, when faced with something wretched to the senses, and the cognitive and physiological processes.

Television is a media of texture. Glass, plasma, wood, chrome, shiny aluminium and bright neon, encase and embody the circuitry, while across its programming and commercials a range of textures are given weight, depth, and quality. Television is a touching experience: it is made of inviting, sensory-loaded surfaces and sits amongst other textural furniture in the living room;
