Pāvela Florenska “Ekokarte”
Authors:   Filozofijas atbalsta fonds, Plūksna Gunta
Published: September 2021

The introduction of the article outlines the topicality of eco-philosophy and eco-theology in rela-tion to life, nature and human existence problems. The notion of „eco-map” used in social sciences is dis-cussed as conditionally related to P. Florensky’s creative work. The main section displays three directions of his eco-philosophy: 1) general problematics (environment/culture; a man/a mask); 2) the direction rela-ted to P. Florensky as a representative of sophiology (Sophia or wisdom in a wide sense solving the relati-onal problematic of God and creation); 3) the direction characterizing the unity between his life and crea-tive work (the world of life, the asceticism/starecs’ problem). The conclusions stress the three basic traits of P. Florensky’s ecosophy: the consubstantiality of the All-Unified; the antinomic symbolism; the truthfulness of life. The research methods applied: the analysis of scientific literature; the hermeneutic analysis of P. Florensky’s texts.

The implementation of the comprehensive national defense system in Latvia marks a new turning point in the relationship between the state and society – instead of being consumers of the security and defense provided by the state, every inhabitant of Latvia must become an active contributor to the natio-nal defense system. Thus, the society’s willingness to defend the state becomes an essential element in the successful implementation of the comprehensive state defense system. This article analyzes the different views of Latvian and Russian-speaking population on issues that affect the willingness to defend the state, as well as evaluates the role of intercultural communication for informing public and increasing the involvement in the comprehensive national defense system.

Avatars with faces of real people: A construction method for scientific experiments in virtual reality
Authors: Fysh Matthew C. , Trifonova Iliyana V. , Allen John , McCall Cade , Burton A. Mike , Bindemann Markus
Published: September 2021

Experimental psychology research typically employs methods that greatly simplify the real-world conditions within which cognition occurs. This approach has been successful for isolating cognitive processes, but cannot adequately capture how perception operates in complex environments. In turn, real-world environments rarely afford the access and control required for rigorous scientific experimentation. In recent years, technology has advanced to provide a solution to these problems, through the development of affordable high-capability virtual reality (VR) equipment. The application of VR is now increasing rapidly in psychology, but the realism of its avatars, and the extent to which they visually represent real people, is captured poorly in current VR experiments. Here, we demonstrate a user-friendly method for creating photo-realistic avatars of real people and provide a series of studies to demonstrate their psychological characteristics. We show that avatar faces of familiar people are recognised with high accuracy (Study 1), replicate the familiarity advantage typically observed in real-world face matching (Study 2), and show that these avatars produce a similarity-space that corresponds closely with real photographs of the same faces (Study 3). These studies open the way to conducting psychological experiments on visual perception and social cognition with increased realism in VR.

Published: September 2021

Machine learning plays a vital role in construction industry which could make improve project’s safety, productivity, and quality. Many studies have attempted to explore the potential opportunities to adopt this technology in different aspects of the construction sector. However, no comprehensive study to review the global research trends on this technological advancement in construction management domain. The goal is to investigate and summarize the state-of-the-art knowledge body in this topic in a systematic manner. To achieve this, this paper considered 161 studies on machine learning in construction management related to bibliographic records retrieved from the Scopus database by adopting scientometric analysis approach. This paper found that since 2014, there has been a considerable increase in the number of publications on this domain. Researchers from the United States, China, and Australia have been the main contributors to this research area through regional analysis. This study also revealed that approximately 34% of all countries in the world are engaged in this domain research. In addition, five main aspects in construction management have been applied machine learning techniques, namely, assess and reduce risk, safety management for construction sites, cost estimation and prediction, Schedule management, and building energy demand prediction. Furthermore, three potential construction management research areas that can apply this technology were proposed for further studies. The findings will help both professionals and researchers more understanding how machine learning knowledge is evolving and its role played in the construction management domain, and this study thus offers a useful reference point to how can develop this area in the future.

Authors: Tan Min , Zhou Xu , Li Gang , Ge Mengyu , Chen Zhuang , Qu Junfeng
Published: September 2021

Mining activities worldwide have resulted in soil nutrient loss, which pose risks to crop and environmental health. We investigated the effects of post-mine reclamation activities on soil physicochemical properties and microbial communities based on 16S rRNA sequencing and the further statistical analysis in the coal base in Peixian city, China. The results revealed significant differences in soil microbial relative abundance between reclamation and reference soils. Proteobacteria was the most abundant phyla in all seven mine sites regardless of reclamation age while considerable differences were found in microbial community structure at other levels among different sites. Notebly, Gammaproteobacteria, member of the phylum Proteobacteria, had relatively high abundance in most sites. Furthermore, Kendall’s tau-b correlation heatmap revealed that potentially toxic elements and other physicochemical properties play vital roles in microbial community composition.
Experimental and Computational Studies on the Physicochemical Behavior of Phosphine Induced by Reactions with H and D Atoms on Interstellar Ice Grains

Published: September 2021

Phosphine (PH3) is an important molecule in the chemistry of phosphorus (P)-bearing species in the interstellar medium. Interstellar PH3 is thought to primarily form on icy grains, where several surface processes may occur during and after its formation. To better understand the physicochemical behavior of PH3 on icy grains in dense molecular clouds, we performed experimental and computational studies on the reactions of phosphine with H and D atoms at low temperatures. We found that phosphine and its deuterated isotopologue PD3 are released into the gas phase from icy surfaces (porous amorphous, compact amorphous, and crystalline ice) via chemical desorption. Even though the effective desorption cross section did not vary between the different icy surfaces, the desorption fraction was smallest for porous amorphous ice. We confirmed that, at 10 K on icy surfaces, H–D substitution reactions of PH3 and D–H substitution reactions of PD3 occurred following reactions with D and H atoms, respectively. Because the activation barrier for the abstraction of H or D atoms from phosphine is ∼1500 K, quantum tunneling should play a role at low temperatures. Under the present experimental conditions, the H–D substitution reaction of PH3 was slightly slower than the D–H substitution reaction of PD3. Therefore, the rates of the H–D and D–H substitution reactions should not be constrained by tunneling reactions but rather by other elementary processes such as atom diffusion on ice. Our experimental results suggest the possible presence of a deuterated phosphine isotopologue (PH2D) in PH3-rich interstellar environments.
Extreme Variability of the V488 Persei Debris Disk

Published: September 2021

V488 Persei is the most extreme debris disk known in terms of the fraction of the stellar luminosity it intercepts and reradiates. The infrared output of its disk is extremely variable, similar in this respect to the most variable disk known previously, that around ID8 in NGC 2547. We show that the variations are likely to be due to collisions of large planetesimals (≳100 km in diameter) in a belt being stirred gravitationally by a planetary or low-mass-brown-dwarf member of a planetary system around the star. The dust being produced by the resulting collisions is falling into the star due to drag by the stellar wind. The indicated planetesimal destruction rate is so high that it is unlikely that the current level of activity can persist for much longer than ∼1000–10,000 yr and it may signal a major realignment of the configuration of the planetary system.
Damping of Oscillations in Red Giants by Resonant Mode Coupling
Authors: Weinberg Nevin N. , Arras Phil , Pramanik Debaditya
Published: September 2021

Asteroseismic studies of red giants generally assume that the oscillation modes can be treated as linear perturbations to the background star. However, observations by the Kepler mission show that the oscillation amplitudes increase dramatically as stars ascend the red giant branch. The importance of nonlinear effects should therefore be assessed. In previous work, we found that mixed modes in red giants are unstable to nonlinear three-wave interactions over a broad range of stellar mass and evolutionary state. Here we solve the amplitude equations that describe the mode dynamics for large networks of nonlinearly coupled modes. The networks consist of stochastically driven parent modes coupled to resonant secondary modes (daughters, granddaughters, etc.). We find that nonlinear interactions can lower the energy of gravity-dominated mixed modes by ≳80% compared to linear theory. However, they have only a mild influence on the energy of pressure-dominated mixed modes. Expressed in terms of the dipole-mode visibility V
2, i.e., the summed amplitudes of dipole modes relative to radial modes, we find that V
2 can be suppressed by 50%–80% relative to the linear value for highly evolved red giants whose frequency of maximum power

We present the experimental phase function, degree of linear polarization (DLP), and linear depolarization (δ

L
) curves of a set of forsterite samples representative of low-absorbing cosmic dust particles. The samples are prepared using state-of-the-art size-segregating techniques to obtain narrow size distributions spanning a broad range of the scattering size parameter domain. We conclude that the behavior of the phase function at the side- and back-scattering regions provides information on the size regime, the position and magnitude of the maximum of the DLP curve are strongly dependent on particle size, the negative polarization branch is mainly produced by particles with size parameters in the ∼6 to ∼20 range, and the δ

L
is strongly dependent on particle size at all measured phase angles except for the exact backward direction. From a direct comparison of the experimental data with computations for spherical particles, it becomes clear that the use of the spherical model for simulating the phase function and DLP curves of irregular dust produces dramatic errors in the retrieved composition and size of the scattering particles: The experimental phase functions are reproduced by assuming unrealistically high values of the imaginary part of the refractive index. The spherical model does not reproduce the bell-shaped DLP curve of dust particles with sizes in the resonance and/or geometric optics size domain. Thus, the use of the Mie model for analyzing polarimetric observations might prevent locating dust particles with sizes of the order of or larger than the wavelength of the incident light.
Dust Directionality and an Anomalous Interplanetary Dust Population Detected by the Parker Solar Probe

Theory and previous space missions indicate there are several populations of zodiacal dust. The most prominent populations are grains on bound elliptic orbits (α-meteoroids), and β-meteoroids on hyperbolic escape trajectories governed largely by their size and composition. Yet, there may be other populations not yet confirmed by observation. The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft is able to observe in situ dust populations in the densest part of the zodiacal cloud. Over the first seven orbits, dust count rates are well organized by orbital groups based on orbital parameters of PSP’s shrinking orbit. In particular, the first three orbits and the sixth orbit have a single, preperihelion peak in count rate with a gradual drop off postperihelion, while Orbits 4, 5, and 7 have two distinct count rate peaks on either side of perihelion. The secondary peaks in Orbits 4, 5, and 7 are inconsistent with current zodiacal dust models that account for only two dust populations: α- and β-meteoroids. In examining the directionality of dust impacts on the PSP spacecraft, the presence of an anti-ram impactor anomaly postperihelion during Orbit 4 is evident. This anomaly may indicate another dust population beyond the nominal α- and β-meteoroids, and its origin may be related to the Geminids meteoroid stream associated with the asteroid 3200 Phaethon.
Exploring Tidal Obliquity Variations with SMERCURY-T
Authors: Kreyche Steven M. , Barnes Jason W. , Quarles Billy L. , Chambers John E.
Published: September 2021

We introduce our new code, SMERCURY-T, which is based on existing codes SMERCURY and Mercury-T. The result is a mixed-variable symplectic N-body integrator that can compute the orbital and spin evolution of a planet within a multiplanet system under the influence of tidal spin torques from its star. We validate our implementation by comparing our experimental results to that of a secular model. As we demonstrate in a series of experiments, SMERCURY-T allows for the study of secular spin–orbit resonance crossings and captures for planets within complex multiplanet systems. These processes can drive a planet’s spin state to evolve along vastly different pathways on its road toward tidal equilibrium, as tidal spin torques dampen the planet’s spin rate and evolve its obliquity. Additionally, we show the results of a scenario that exemplifies the crossing of a chaotic region that exists as the overlap of two spin–orbit resonances. The test planet experiences violent and chaotic swings in its obliquity until its eventual escape from resonance as it tidally evolves. All of these processes are and have been important over the obliquity evolution of many bodies within the solar system and beyond and have implications for planetary climate and habitability. SMERCURY-T is a powerful and versatile tool that allows for further study of these phenomena.

Published: September 2021

AIM: The purpose of the study was to know the regulation on halal and health guarantee of Indonesian snacks such as cilok (tapioca balls), grilled meatballs, meatball and chicken noodles, dawet drink (traditional drink from rice flour and coconut milk), crackers, and grass jelly drink. Such snacks and drinks are loved by all levels of society in Indonesia and are often sold by street vendors in various places.
METHOD: This research uses a juridical-sociological approach, by analyzing the primary source of data, which is by directly observing, interviewing, and educating the society and the small-scale sellers on the important sense of the halal product and the halal product certification. Apart from that, the primary data are the Law No. 8 of 1999 on the Consumer Protection, the Law No. 33 of 2014 on the Halal Product Guarantee, and the Governmental Decree No. 31 of 2019 on the Halal Product Certification.
RESULTS: The realization of consumer protection requires good coordination between the government and/or regional governments, business actors, and the community as consumers. The need for halal and healthy products is not only for Muslim communities but also for non-Muslim communities, because halal products are certainly guaranteed of the products’ hygiene and safety.
CONCLUSION: There is still a lack of understanding and compliance by the small business owners on the halal and healthy products from the manufacturing process up to the distribution of the products to the public.

Authors: Mansour Kareman , Elwi Dalal Anwar , Khalifa Sara Elsayed , Abdelmonem Ibrahim Heba
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND: Meningiomas are the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system worldwide. Routinely used immunohistochemical markers for diagnosis of confusing meningioma cases as epithelial membrane antigen lack specificity and sensitivity. MUC4 is glycosylated membrane-associated mucin expressed by normal epithelia and many cancers. However, it is recently noticed to be expressed in meningiomas.

AIM: Intensity of MUC4 expression is needed to be verified whether it is the same among different subtypes or not.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty cases of different intracranial meningioma subtypes and thirty cases of mesenchymal nonmeningothelial tumors were immunohistochemically stained with MUC4 antibody. The results of MUC4 expression intensity were associated with some clinical and pathological parameters.

RESULTS: Most studied meningioma cases (84%) showed positive MUC4 expression. Meningothelial meningioma subtype showed characteristic pattern of diffuse and moderate to strong MUC4 staining. While fibroblastic meningioma showed mostly negative staining pattern and focal weak staining pattern if positive. A statistically significant relationship was detected between tumor subtype and intensity of MUC4 expression. On contrary, most included mesenchymal cases were MUC4 negative with statistical significance. Hence, the sensitivity of MUC4 as diagnostic marker for meningioma was 84%, while the specificity was 93.3%. Furthermore, meningioma histologic subtype showed significant relationship with age.

CONCLUSION: The current study results suggest that MUC4 could be used as meningioma diagnostic marker with some limitations. Moreover, meningioma should be included in the differential diagnosis of MUC4 positive tumors.

Here, we describe BIOVERA-Tree, a database on tree diversity, community composition, forest structure and functional traits collected in 120 forest plots, distributed along an extensive elevational gradient in Veracruz State, Mexico. BIOVERA-Tree includes information on forest structure from three levels of forest-use intensity, namely old-growth, degraded and secondary forest, replicated across eight elevations from sea-level to near the tree line at 3500 m and on size and location of 4549 tree individuals with a diameter at breast height ≥ 5 cm belonging to 216 species, 154 genera and 80 families. We also report measurements of eight functional traits, namely wood density for 143 species, maximum height for 216 species and leaf traits including: specific leaf area, lamina density, leaf thickness, chlorophyll content and leaf area for 148 species and leaf dry matter content for 145 species.

BIOVERA-Tree is a new database comprising data collected in a rigorous sampling design along forest-use intensity and elevational gradients, contributing to our understanding of how interactive effects of forest-use intensity and elevation affect tree diversity, community composition and functional traits in tropical forests.

Autorité et liberté
Authors: Bussy Florent
Published: September 2021

Hannah Arendt réfléchit, dans toute son œuvre, aux conditions d’une action libre. Elle commence sa réflexion, à la suite de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, par interroger les bouleversements induits par les régimes totalitaires et montre en quoi ils ont détruit l’espace public qui sépare et relie les membres d’une société au profit de la domination de l’idéologie, qui récuse toute action. Mais il y a un héritage des totalitarismes, au-delà de leur défaite, c’est la disparition de l’autorité et de ses figures historiques, parce que l’autorité ne se réduit pas à la contrainte et permet l’existence d’un cadre commun pour les libertés publiques, sans lequel ces dernières peuvent difficilement se rencontrer, se frotter, se féconder, coopérer. L’action décline alors au profit de la consommation, la liberté au profit de la seule indépendance privée.

Les vécus et conceptions du viol de jeunes filles à Mayotte sont le lieu de la construction d’intolérables contradictoires: si le statut de victime est attribué à l’adolescente par les professionnels, la mère le revendiquera également face à l’imprudence de sa fille. Face à ce constat, une anthropologue et deux psychologues cliniciennes apportent un éclairage en trois temps. La description anthropologique de la constitution de l’honneur féminin autour de la puberté et de la virginité montre une relation de dépendance entre mère et fille dans leurs rituels du cycle de la vie respectifs. L’analyse clinique des vécus subjectifs de ces intolérables sociaux révèle le risque de désarrimage social et symbolique que mères et filles expérimentent alors. Enfin, les intolérables existent aussi pour les professionnels qui mettent beaucoup d’espoir dans la judiciarisation des évènements. Bien que non privilégiée par les familles, cette dernière peut avoir différentes fonctions psychiques et sociales pour les filles et pour leurs mères.
Positionnement clinique en situation humanitaire
Authors: Diloo Sadia
Published: September 2021

Le texte qui suit se propose de présenter des pistes de travail dans le suivi psychothérapeutique d’enfants et d’adolescents installés en lieux de transit, en contexte humanitaire. La réflexion s’ouvre sur une présentation du cadre de l’intervention, interrogeant d’emblée le positionnement clinique du psychologue en situation humanitaire. À partir des consultations menées auprès de cette population réfugiée de Mossoul en Irak par une Organisation-Non-Gouvernementale Internationale, se pose la question de la possibilité d’une articulation entre une approche psychothérapeutique psychodynamique avec la réalité du terrain humanitaire. Comment travailler dans l’urgence lorsqu’il s’agit de restaurer la temporalité psychique? Ce travail de réflexion à partir de la clinique amène à penser le cadre thérapeutique ainsi que les réaménagements nécessaires à cette pratique de l’entre-deux.

Foodborne infections continue to plague Europe. Food safety monitoring is in crisis as the existing techniques for detecting pathogens do not keep up with the global rising of food production and consumption. Thus, the development of innovative techniques for detecting and identifying pathogenic bacteria has become critical. The aim of the present study was firstly to develop an innovative simple and low cost method of extracting bacterial DNA from contaminated food and water samples with Salmonella enteric(a) subsp. enteric(a) serovar Typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes and its comparison with two commercial DNA extraction kits (Qiagen, Macherey-Nagel). Finally, pathogens' detection using two molecular techniques (PCR-electrophoresis, LAMP), in order to evaluate the best combination of DNA extraction and identification based on their sensitivity, cost, rapidity and simplicity. Considering the above criteria, among them, best was proved an in-house bacterial DNA extraction method, based on the chloroform-isoamyl alcohol protocol, with certain modifications. This technique showed statistically similar results in terms of sensitivity, compared to the commercial kits, while at the same time maintained high rapidity and much lower cost. Lastly, between the molecular techniques, LAMP was found more promising considering its simplicity, high rapidity and sensitivity. Conclusively, the in-house DNA extraction method along with the LAMP technique, was proven to be the best among the presented combinations.
Automatic Camera-Trap Classification Using Wildlife-Specific Deep Learning in Nilgai Management

Camera traps provide a low-cost approach to collect data and monitor wildlife across large scales but hand-labeling images at a rate that outpaces accumulation is difficult. Deep learning, a subdiscipline of machine learning and computer science, can address the issue of automatically classifying camera-trap images with a high degree of accuracy. This technique, however, may be less accessible to ecologists or small-scale conservation projects, and has serious limitations. In this study, we trained a simple deep learning model using a dataset of 120,000 images to identify the presence of nilgai Boselaphus tragocamelus, a regionally specific nonnative game animal, in camera-trap images with an overall accuracy of 97%. We trained a second model to identify 20 groups of animals and one group of images without any animals present, labeled as “none,” with an accuracy of 89%. Lastly, we tested the multigroup model on images collected of similar species, but in the southwestern United States, resulting in significantly lower precision and recall for each group. This study highlights the potential of deep learning for automating camera-trap image processing workflows, provides a brief overview of image-based deep learning, and discusses the often-understated limitations and methodological considerations in the context of wildlife conservation and species monitoring.
L’esprit de l’alpinisme
Authors: Moraldo Delphine
Published: September 2021

Pourquoi les grands alpinistes se détournent-ils de l’Everest ? Pourquoi refusent-ils l’oxygène artificiel sur certains sommets himalayens ? Pourquoi risquent-ils leur vie pour une ascension nouvelle ? Mais aussi, pourquoi sont-ils en majorité des hommes, qui plus est, des hommes longtemps issus des élites sociales ?
Théâtre de drames, pourvoyeur de héros, objet de polémiques, l’alpinisme de haut niveau fascine. Dans les discours qui l’entourent ressurgissent les mêmes images : celles d’une pratique grande et noble, qu’on ne saurait assimiler à un simple sport, dont les protagonistes dévoués corps et âme, sont prêts à se sacrifier pour une ascension inédite. À condition, cependant, qu’elle soit réalisée dans le bon esprit, car dans le grand alpinisme, il faut parvenir au sommet sans tricher, dans le respect d’une éthique stricte. C’est cet esprit de l’alpinisme, synonyme d’excellence, que l’ouvrage interroge à travers une enquête originale, à la fois historique et sociologique. Mettant à profit des matériaux inédits, il emmène le lecteur des origines de l’alpinisme dans la grande bourgeoisie anglaise du XIXe siècle, jusqu’au début du XXIe siècle.
L’esprit de l’alpinisme, principe éthique et esprit de corps, s’inscrit dans des hiérarchies et des rapports de domination de classe et de genre, qui distinguent les élites des masses, les alpinistes des guides, les hommes des femmes. L’ouvrage dévoile comment, par-delà la diffusion, la démocratisation et la féminisation de l’alpinisme, son esprit, codifié il y a plus de cent cinquante ans par une petite élite masculine britannique, continue d’en refléter aujourd’hui les idéologies, au Royaume-Uni mais aussi en France. Ouvrage destiné à un large public, il intéressera, au-delà des universitaires et des amateurs d’alpinisme, toutes celles et ceux qui s’interrogent sur la manière dont des hiérarchies sociales et genrées se construisent et se maintiennent.
De l’enfance à la folie en situation coloniale
Authors: Gallien Raphaël
Published: September 2021

En 1914, au sein du seul asile d’aliénés de Madagascar, pour la première fois un enfant se retrouve interné. Âgé de douze ans et prénommé Lezoma, il est amené par sa mère dans l’espoir d’une prise en charge pour son fils. Or les autorités médicales restent muettes quant à sa qualité d’enfant et ne le distinguent pas des autres malades. Ce silence révèle l’une des motivations principales de l’encadrement asilaire : « l’indigène », enfant ou non, reste aux yeux des autorités un être inaccompli à éduquer vers la voie de la raison et de la « civilisation ». Pour les médecins, le jeune âge de Lezoma ne constitue donc pas une spécificité par rapport au projet asilaire et ne justifie aucune attention particulière. Suivre le parcours de Lezoma, c’est néanmoins révéler les attentes et ajustements de la psychiatrie coloniale et éclairer sous un angle inédit l’itinéraire de vie d’un enfant considéré comme « anormal » durant la colonisation.
From degeneration to mental disorders: the development of child psychiatric theory and child psychiatric practices in Denmark, c. 1900-1950
Authors: Junghans Jennie Sejr
Published: September 2021

Despite child psychiatry not becoming officially acknowledged as a medical specialty in Denmark before 1953, the first half of the 20th century saw a significant development in both child psychiatric theories and child psychiatric practices. Whereas notions of heredity had previously dominated medical textbooks and limited treatment efforts, the first psychiatric clinic for mentally ill children opened at the Copenhagen University Hospital in 1935, heralding a new stance on children’s mental disorders. By the early 1950s, the importance of socio-economic conditions and intrafamilial relationships for children’s mental health was given new meaning in both textbooks and practices.
La sectorisation a-t-elle sorti les enfants des asiles ?
Authors: Monduit de Caussade Camille
Published: September 2021

La deuxième moitié du xxe siècle marque incontestablement un changement dans la prise en charge des enfants à l’asile. Ce changement est d’abord l’effet d’une nouvelle génération de psychiatres qui ont fait émerger une discipline jusqu’alors inexistante, la pédopsychiatrie. C’est aussi l’effet d’une prise en compte politique de la question de l’enfance inadaptée avec de nombreux textes (circulaires, décrets, lois) qui accordent une place singulière à l’enfant. Ceci est le fruit d’un long processus qui suit aussi l’évolution de la psychiatrie générale qui au lendemain de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale entame un vaste chantier pour repenser la place de la folie dans la société et ses institutions. C’est la naissance de la psychiatrie de secteur avec une circulaire majeure en 1960 dans laquelle peu de cas est fait de la place des enfants. L’évolution des institutions dédiées aux troubles psychiques des enfants doit aussi sa lenteur aux tensions et aux rivalités à la fois avec les représentants d’une psychiatrie générale conservatrice, à la fois avec toute une frange de l’enfance inadaptée qui constituera plus tard le champ du handicap.
Resolviendo acertijos en la filosofía de la ciencia
Authors: Arroyo Gustavo
Published: September 2021

De acuerdo a la mayoría de las introducciones y manuales de filosofía de la ciencia, el principal objetivo de este campo de investigación es describir los métodos y principios implícitos en la práctica de la ciencia. En este texto programático argumento que esta concepción “descriptivista” de la filosofía de la ciencia es errónea. La perspectiva a ser defendida descansa en buena medida en el análisis de un caso paradigmático de análisis en la filosofía de la ciencia: el así llamado modelo nomológico deductivo de explicación científica, propuesto a mediados del siglo 19 por Stuart Mill y respaldado en el último siglo por filósofos como Hempel y Oppenheim. Como quedará claro a lo largo del texto, dos objetivos diferentes (y potencialmente contrapuestos) guiaron la búsqueda de dicho análisis: ofrecer una concepción materialmente plausible del concepto de explicación y elaborar un análisis que fuera compatible con los presupuestos empiristas de estos autores. Lejos de ser descriptiva la empresa puede ser comparada a la solución de un acertijo. El artículo explora además algunas consecuencias que se siguen de concebir la filosofía de la ciencia como una actividad abocada a la solución de acertijos.
La historia de la astronomía y su rol en la enseñanza de la filosofía de la astronomía
Authors: Bozzoli Maximiliano
Published: September 2021

La evolución que ha sufrido el concepto de observación en la astronomía contemporánea ha generado nuevas concepciones científicas acerca del universo observable, como así también, diversas maneras reflexivas de concebirlo. El avance tecnológico en el instrumental astronómico reciente ha ido configurando y sofisticando nuevas prácticas observacionales dentro de esta disciplina. En la medida en que estas últimas se han ido complejizando, resultan cruciales las aproximaciones históricas para la difusión de la filosofía de la astronomía. En este trabajo, se intentará generar un contexto propicio para la enseñanza de problemáticas filosóficas de la ciencia en el ámbito académico astronómico. En particular, a partir de la metamorfosis que ha tenido el concepto de observación en la astronomía actual y, desde la perspectiva de la filosofía de las prácticas científicas, se pretende mostrar cómo que tal concepto ha ido perdiendo la capacidad de reflejar matices sutiles de relevancia epistemológica. Uno de los objetivos principales consiste en incentivar a miembros de la comunidad astronómica a reflexionar sobre la problemática en cuestión. A través de un recorrido histórico a lo largo de las últimas décadas de la astronomía, se mostrará cómo los cambios tecno-científicos impactan en la concepción misma de la observación. De esta manera, los educadores (filósofos y astrónomos) podrían generar estrategias innovadoras al momento de transmitir contenido filosófico. Ello les permitiría a los astrónomos, eventualmente, repensar la manera de abordar sus propias investigaciones.
