SEIZING THE U.S. INFRASTRUCTURE OPPORTUNITY: INVESTING IN CURRENT AND FUTURE WORKERS
Authors:   Fellow, Brookings Metro, Washington DC, Kane Joseph
Published: October 2023

Investing in infrastructure can stimulate economic growth and unleash job creation nationally. Whether building roads, repairing pipes, or upgrading power plants, investments in the country’s transportation, water, energy, and broadband systems not only supports more economic output, but also drives the need for more workers. Several new pieces of federal legislation including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and the CHIPS and Science Act are pumping hundreds of billions of dollars toward new projects and new jobs and are launching generational levels of investment not seen since the New Deal. But national, state, and local leaders risk squandering this generational window of infrastructure investment if they only focus on future job creation without addressing the cracking foundation of the country’s current workforce.

Industrialization plays a key role in the development and growth of national economies. The process and economic strategy support the achievement of greater global competitiveness in the production of processed and manufactured goods by linking industrial activity with primary sector activity, domestic and foreign trade, and service activity. This is particularly true of Nigeria, where the economic structure is typically underdeveloped. The primary sector, the oil and gas sector, dominates the gross domestic product, accounting for over 95 percent of export earnings and about 85 percent of government revenue between 2011 and 2012. The industrial sector accounts for 6 percent of economic activity, while the manufacturing sector contributed only 4 percent to GDP in 2011. This explains the attempts by several administrations to evolve policies that will promote the industrialization of the country. This paper seeks to examine the performance of the Nigerian Industrial Revolution Plan (2014), with the view to recommending strategies for strengthening the institutional and regulatory framework. The data are obtained mainly from secondary sources and discussed through a content review of the literature. The study concludes and recommends the need to strengthen relevant institutions like the Central Bank of Nigeria, to promote and enhance effective industrial growth in Nigeria.
Osmanlı-Rus Savaşı Bağlamında Doğu Karadeniz’de Kadın Faaliyetleri
Authors: NURDAN Semiha
Published: October 2023

Birinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında Kafkas Cephesinin düşmesi üzerine Ruslar karadan ve denizden Doğu Karadeniz bölgesini abluka altına almıştır. 1916-1918 yılları arasında bölge halkı büyük acılar yaşamıştır. Bu acıların başında bölge ahalisinin kendi topraklarında muhacir durumuna düşmesi ve zorunlu göç gelmektedir.

Bu çalışma kapsamında, Doğu Karadeniz’de Rus işgali sırasında bölgedeki kadın faaliyetleri incelenmiştir. Doğu Karadeniz’de savaş yıllarında cephede ve cephe gerisinde hizmet veren Türk kadınları iki kategoride değerlendirilmiştir. Birincisi cephede düşmana karşı bizzat omuz omuza savaşan kadınlardır. İkincisi cephe gerisinde cephane fabrikalarında veya geri hizmet sınıfında hastabakıcılık, terzilik, aşçılık gibi hizmet veren kadınlarıdır. Bu kadınların faaliyetleri ATASE evrakları üzerinde yapılan çalışma neticesinde belgeleriyle birlikte ortaya konulmuştur. Bu istilayı fırsat bilip işgal kuvvetleri yanında yer alan ve onlara hizmet eden Gayrımüslim kadınlar vardır. Bu evraklardan edinilen bilgiler ışığında bölgede zararlı faaliyetlerde bulunan ecnebi kadınların faaliyetleri incelenmiştir. Doğu Karadeniz bölgesinde yaşayan veya İstanbul’dan bu bölgeye sevk edilen Ermeni ve Rum kadınların başta casusluk faaliyetleri olmak üzere birçok zararlı faaliyette bulunduklarını tespit ettik. Kadınların bu faaliyetleri devlet tarafından yakından takip edilmiş ve Türk askerinin zarar görmemesi için tahriratlar yayınlanmıştır.

Published: October 2023

Siyasi düşünce ve medeniyet tarihinde önemli bir yeri olan, kültürel mirasın genetik kodlarını barındıran, yönetim ve organizasyonda tespit edilen sorunlara ve çözüm önerilerine odaklanan, güçlü ve adil devlet için hükümdara etik ve etkin yönetim ilkelerini ve uygulamalarını öğütleyen siyasetnâmeler, siyaset bilimi ve kamu yönetimi, tarih, hukuk ve sosyoloji açısından önemli bilgiler ihtiva etmekle beraber eğitim ve din eğitimi alanına yönelik de tarihsel, kültürel ve eğitime yönelik içerik ve değerler sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türk-İslam devlet teşkilatında eğitim, din ve yargı alanlarında etkinliği olan ilmiye teşkilatının ve mensuplarının sorunları ve çözüm önerileri, Selçuklu Devleti veziri Nizâmülmülk’ün Siyasetnâme adlı eseri ve 17. Yüzyıl’da Osmanlı Devleti’nin saray erkanından olan Koçi Bey’in Risalesi örnekliğinde incelenmiştir. Her iki ilim ve devlet adamının, ilmiyeye ait tespit etmiş olduğu sorunların ve bunlara dair çözüm önerilerinin benzeşmesi, hatta günümüzde halen bu sorunlara rastlamak problemin zaman, mekan ve toplum üstü yapısına işaret etmekte, din eğitimi perspektifinden konunun incelenmesinin önemini ortaya koymaktadır. Doküman analizi tekniğinin kullanıldığı bu çalışma ile tarihsel süreçten ve kültürel hafızadan yararlanarak günümüz ilmiyesine yeni bir model geliştirilmesine zemin hazırlayacak bir motivasyon ve materyal oluşturulması hedeflenmiştir.
The Surveillant Assemblage: A Critical Reading of Dave Eggers’ The Circle As Today’s Dystopia
Authors: EKLER Onur
Published: October 2023

Surveillance studies have gained momentum in today’s societies. These studies have put forward various theorems on surveillance since the states and/or corporations’ purposes of monitoring people are nebulous and open to discussion. However, the dystopian aspect of surveillance holds a common ground in most of these studies. No doubt, they have a fair share in their discussion since the growing fear of surveillance societies deeply instilled in the worlds of the futuristic-dystopian fiction has become a fact of our present world. That is, surveillance society has become today’s dystopia. Unlike the Foucaldian panopticon, surveillance in today’s society is relatively more complex and decentralized. This kind of surveillance is, what Haggerty and Ericson call, “the surveillant assemblage”. Dave Eggers’ The Circle is perhaps one of the best examples that portray it blatantly. As it shows us the complexities of the surveillant assemblage, it portrays its role to destroy individual zone by making them the willing agents to expose themselves to full transparency. This will eventually lead to the demise of the individual. With this purpose in mind, this research article examines Dave Eggers’s The Circle as today’s dystopia by giving utmost consideration to Haggerty and Ericson’s theory of surveillant assemblage and its discontents.
Queer(ed) Bodies: Subversive Sexualities and Gender Identities in Shakespeare’s As You Like It
Authors: KILIÇ Volkan
Published: October 2023

As far as Shakespeare’s comedies are concerned, a recurring topic is the exploration of love via the portrayal of gender role transformations and the cross-dressing of female characters. This often involves the depiction of power dynamics between male and female characters, which may be seen as alluding to homoerotic relationships and transgressions of gender roles. Shakespeare, in his play As You Like It, reveals the reformulation and deconstruction of established and logocentric gender roles and sexuality, where female characters adopt trans-gendered bodies, queer identities, and homoeroticism through the concept of love and cross-dressing in many respects. Likewise, the play explores the issues of gender roles and sexuality, particularly via the portrayal of female characters who assume trans-gendered identities, engage in cross-dressing, and experience homoerotic love in various ways. It can also be stated that the identity of Shakespeare is never fixed but is constructed. The fluidity of identity, sexuality, and desire in the play indeed challenges and deconstructs any basic hetero/homo, masculine/feminine dichotomy. In this context, Shakespeare effectively challenges traditional gender roles and norms by subverting them through the portrayal of male and female characters. Specifically, the female characters deviate from their expected gender roles and boundaries, resulting in the depiction of a homoerotic love triangle involving Phebe, Orlando, and Rosalind/Ganymede. As in the play, the heterosexual love between Orlando and Rosalind is subverted to a homoerotic love between Orlando and Ganymede/Rosalind, and Phebe and Ganymede/Rosalind. As a result, it can be claimed that Shakespeare’s play features transgendered sexuality and a homoerotic love triangle between male and female characters. Hence, as it has been stated, Shakespeare suggests here that, as with the title of the play, one can construct his or her gender role as she or he likes or desires, even if this sex is different.

Alternatif Bir Vidinli Hüseyin Tevfik Paşa Portresi
Authors: GÜMÜŞEL Günseli
Published: October 2023

19. Yüzyıl Osmanlı modernleşmesi ifadesi genel anlamıyla hem gelenekselliği hem de bazen fazlasıyla temkinli bir geçmişi geride bırakmayı ifade eder. Bu ikiliğin en dikkat çekici tarafı II. Mahmud (1785-1839) döneminden itibaren eski ve yeninin Osmanlılara has şekliyle “birlikte” götürülmeye çalışılmasıydı. Bu çaba farklı bir açıdan enerji ve zaman kaybı algısı yaratıyor olsa da diğer yandan o zamanlarda yaşamış önemli kişilerin çabalarını güçlü bir farkındalık düzeyinde algılayışın yolunu açmaktadır. Yenilginin ve yenilenmenin kol kola yürüdüğü “imparatorluğun en uzun yüzyılı” her bakımdan geniş bir perspektiften yorumlanmaya ihtiyaç duyar. Bu geniş perspektif ise askeriyeyi, bürokrasiyi ve bilimi temel alır.

Bu temellerin isminde birleştiği tarihi kişiliklerden en önemlilerinden birisi Vidinli Tevfik Bey’dir. Farklı zaman dilimlerinde ve görevlerde “Vidinli Tevfik Paşa, General Hüseyin Tevfik, Tevfik Paşa, Müşir (Mareşal) Vidinli Hüseyin Tevfik Paşa” isimleriyle anılacak olan bu isim, Osmanlıların ünü dışarıya taşmış en önemli matematikçisidir. Uluslararası matematik camiasında ilk İngilizce cebir kitabının yazarı olarak kabul görür. Aynı zamanda askeri ve sivil bürokratik görevler üstlenmiştir. Bu görevleri icra ederken takındığı dürüst ve işini ciddiye alır tavrı göreve gittiği yabancı devletlerin temsilcileri tarafından yaşamında ve ölümünden sonra takdir edilirken; onun doğru bildiğini devletinin yararına uygulaması her zaman takdir görmediği gibi uzun vadede de görevinden azline giden sürecin domino etkisini oluşturmuştur.

Çalışmamızda eldeki pek az kaynakla adeta birbirini tekrarlayan bir görünümde olan Matematik veTarih çalışmalarından farklı olarak Paşa’nın kişiliği, anılarda bıraktığı izler ve yararlılıkları birincil ve ikincil kaynaklar irdelenerek incelenecektir. Bir psikolojik analiz amacı gütmeyen çalışmamızda, Vidinli Tevfik’in içerde ve dışarda yarattığı etki ve çizdiği imajla birlikte onun kişiliğinde dönemin Osmanlı bilim ve devlet adamlarının modernleşme çabalarının anlaşılmasına çalışılacaktır. Böylece alanda çalışmaya hazırlanan araştırmacılar için gerçekçi bir portre oluşturulması ve gelecek çalışmaların yorumlayış temellerine fayda sağlanması hedeflenmektedir.

Authors: Pantevis Suarez Mathusalam , Perez Trujillo Diego Fernando
Published: October 2023

Esta investigación hace parte de un proyecto social en una comunidad de la Zona Rural del Departamento del Huila, en el sur de Colombia. La comunidad se compone de personas que participan de COOAGROPAZ, la cual es una cooperativa o asociación productiva, en la que confluyen excombatientes que firmaron el Acuerdo de Paz entre el Gobierno Nacional y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia - Ejército del Pueblo – (por sus siglas en español FARC – EP) como también campesinos, campesinas, familias, víctimas y actores sociales diversos que se vieron involucrados directa o indirectamente en el conflicto armado colombiano y que se encuentran en esos territorios para gestionar procesos de convivencia y paz. El proceso de pos-acuerdo para conformar un posible posconflicto requiere el reconocimiento de sus actores y los escenarios donde ellos confluyen. En este sentido, los niños y niñas no son ajenas al conflicto armado y aunque no son reconocidos explícitamente en el acuerdo, ellos y ellas hacen parte de dicho proceso de pos-acuerdo y se plantea como objetivo reconocer y visibilizar las vivencias que ellos y ellas tienen en la convivencia en dichos territorios, usando como herramientas metodológicas sus mapas y sus narrativas que dan significado y sentido a la construcción de paz. Desde la perspectiva de la investigación con se trabaja con las autorías de los niños y niñas a través de mapas vivenciales de los territorios y de sus relatos resultando en las formas como ellos y ellas contribuyen a la construcción de la convivencia y de la gestión del conflicto.
Sources of Authoritarian Resilience: New Perspectives on Power-Sharing and Popular Support
Authors: Kofanov Dmitrii
Published: October 2023

This article reviews four recent books providing new perspectives on the sources of authoritarian durability and addressing the issues of intra-elite power-sharing and control of the masses. One of the main lessons derived from this research is that contingent sequences of historical
events and rules of conduct mutually accepted by elites can play a greater role in the stability of a ruling coalition than a sheer balance of power prioritized by the rational choice approach. Another important takeaway is that increasingly refraining from repression, authoritarian rulers
seek to project the image of their competence and indispensability. Apart from misinformation and censorship, during economic and political crises, leaders of competitive authoritarian regimes may deliver anti-democratic rhetoric and policies catering to genuine demands of the masses.

Authors: SURAT Hilal , EKİNCİ Nazime
Published: October 2023

The study aimed to assess the impact and contribution of urban enhancement elements (paving, seating, lighting, signage and information, boundaries, etc.) in Kuyumcular Street, Rize Square Park, Rize Square and Main Street in Rize town centre. For this purpose, urban enhancement elements in the study area were identified and photographed. In order to determine the contribution and impact of these reinforcing elements on the urban identity, similar studies on the subject were examined, evaluations and suggestions were made. The study found that the reinforcing elements in the city centre create a rural atmosphere rather than a modern urban atmosphere, contrary to the effect expected from the city and reflecting the identity of the city. It was observed that the urban reinforcements in the city do not comply with the standards, are not compatible with the environment and each other in terms of material and colour, do not provide integrity and do not have an original design. It was emphasised that the design principles that can support the purpose of the activities and provide functionality to the areas should be taken into consideration.
What do we know today about drug-induced microscopic colitis? A case of lymphocytic colitis on olmesartan
Authors: Djembissi Fotso A , Arvanitakis M , Salame M , Gallez J , Lakis A
Published: October 2023

Microscopic colitis is part of the differential diagnosis of chronic watery diarrhea. Colonoscopy discloses a normal looking mucosa, therefore its diagnosis is based on histology of colonic biopsies. Two main phenotypes are distinguished: collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis. A third entity, incomplete microscopic colitis or unspecified microscopic colitis has been reported in the literature. It affects preferentially women over 60 years of age and its association with certain drugs is increasingly established. In case of suspected drug-induced microscopic colitis, identification of the responsible drug is a key to management. After discontinuation of the suspected drug, the gold standard of treatment is budesonide both for induction and for maintenance in case of clinical relapse, as is often the case after discontinuation. Therapy with immunomodulators, biologics, or surgery is reserved for refractory forms of microscopic colitis after multidisciplinary consultation. Through the clinical case of colitis on olmesartan, we will review the latest recommendations on drug-induced microscopic colitis.

Life Cycle Environmental Assessment of Municipal Solid Waste to Energy Technologies: A Review Study
Authors: Sarvestani M. Ebrahimzadeh , Di Maria F.
Published: October 2023

The global surge in solid waste generation has spurred the exploration of diverse strategies aimed at minimizing the resulting environmental impacts. A vital tool for evaluating waste management options and planning sustainable approaches is life cycle assessment (LCA). LCA provides
an effective means of assessing system expansion, encompassing the environmental effects of primary production, recycling processes, and waste management. Recent years have witnessed extensive utilization of LCA to evaluate the environmental performance of thermal waste-to-energy (WtE) technologies,
such as incineration, co-combustion, pyrolysis, and gasification. These studies have primarily focused on key elements, including goal and scope definitions, technology parameters, and modeling principles. Furthermore, these investigations have explored the intricate interactions among various
factors, including functional units, system boundaries, temporal and geographic scopes, waste composition, technology specifics, gas cleaning, energy recovery, residue management, inventory data, energy/mass calculations, as well as energy substitution and capital goods. This comprehensive
review offers a comprehensive overview of the assumptions and modeling techniques employed in existing literature on waste-to-energy LCA. It also provides valuable recommendations to enhance future LCA studies on waste-to-energy. In summary, this review paper provides a comprehensive overview
of the assumptions and modeling techniques employed in waste-to-energy LCA studies. It emphasizes the significance of LCA in evaluating the environmental impacts of waste management and offers valuable insights to advance research in waste-to-energy LCA.

Authors: Mukherjee Tirthankar , Sarker Nilay Kumar , Kaparaju Prasad
Published: October 2023

Purification of biogas is the pre-requisite of the commercial application of anaerobic digestion in the renewable energy sector. In this study, Aspen Plus V11.1 was used to determine the optimum process conditions for biogas purification using high-pressure water scrubbing. The non-random
two-liquid model (NRTL) coupled with Henry' s law was used as the fluid package in this study. According to henry' s law solubility of CO2 is higher than CH4 and thus water was used as an adsorbent. The ideal parameter values for the scrubber were as follows: water pressure:
8 atm, biogas temperature: 37°C or 55°C, scrubber stages: 15, water to biogas mass flowrate ratio: 50. The composition of the biogas i. e., CH4 and CO2 mole fractions can vary in a wide range without effecting the efficiency of the process.

Published: October 2023

Municipal solid waste (MSW) poses a cumulative problem related to many aspects, namely, social, economic, and cultural. Therefore, such a situation must be accompanied by the development of well-established management systems starting with the knowledge of MSW quantities, its quality
and characterization and ending with a suitable landfilling technique. This work aims to characterize Egyptian municipal solid waste generated from two cities in Great Cairo, where 45 samples were collected regularly. The research was carried out by researchers in the Chemical Engineering
Department at Cairo University and selected undergraduate students from October to December 2020. The collected MSW was characterized by evaluating the quality and quantity of generated waste. Selected properties considered were: composition (including the organic fraction, papers, plastics,
textiles, metals, glass, and others), density, moisture content, calorific value, and Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Sulfer (CHNS) chemical elemental analysis. The results obtained showed that the organic fraction was dominant to other fractions (4287%) and the carbon content was more than 47% and
the calorific values to range between 4360-12277 kJ/kg. The results obtained were used as a base for a waste management proposal, either from mass recovery for highrecyclable samples or energy recovery for high calorific value waste. In other circumstances, waste-to-energy WTE processes were
recommended as a promising solution to developing countries in the world where the energy demand is essential for the life.

Liturgi adalah keseluruhan tatanan ibadah dalam kehidupan Kristen untuk menyatakan penyataan diri Allah di dalam Yesus Kristus sebagai respon umat manusia terhadap Allah. Umat manusia menyembah dan mengucap syukur kepada Tuhan melalui liturgi. Liturgi bukan hanya berbicara tentang cara peribadatan dan berlangsungnya ibadah, namun tentang bagaimana liturgi itu berperan dalam pertumbuhan kerohanian seseorang dan menjadikan dewasa secara rohani. Melalui liturgi, seseorang akan mengalami pertumbuhan spiritualitas yaitu merujuk kepada hubungan individu tersebut dengan Tuhan. Liturgi bukan hanya rutinitas yang harus dilaksanakan setiap minggu di tempat ibadah, namun liturgi sesungguhnya adalah suatu keputusan seseorang untuk menghidupinya dalam tingkah lakunya, perbuatannya dan prinsip hidupnya kepada Tuhan dalam kesehariannya sebagai respon syukur dan penyembahan nyata. Bagaimana dan apakah liturgi gereja memiliki peranan yang sangat penting dalam pertumbuhan kerohanian jemaat? Dalam penelitian ini, peneliti mengkaji, liturgi sebagai instrumen gereja untuk mengupayakan jemaat mengalami perjumpaan dengan Tuhan sehingga bertumbuh dewasa secara rohani. Metode penulisan yang digunakan adalah metode pustaka (library research) dan tahapan penulisan ini diselesaikan dengan prosedur menghimpun sumber kepustakaan, jurnal terpublikasi dan literatur yang berhubungan sebagai landasan pembahasan secara deskriptif mengeksplorasi liturgi sebagai instrumen gereja untuk mengupayakan jemaat mengalami perjumpaan dengan Tuhan sehingga bertumbuh dewasa secara rohani.

This study aimed to evaluate some major physical and mechanical properties of 7 year old Acacia hybrid BV10 planted in Quy Chau district, Nghe An province. Small specimens with dimensions of 20 (Radial) × 20 (Tangential) × 320 (Longitudinal) mm3 were cut near the pith and near the bark at breast height from each sample tree, then placed in a standard laboratory setting until their weights reached a constant value. The resulting mean air-dry density (AD), stress wave velocity (SWV), static modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR) were 0.53 g/cm3, 4,241 m/s, 10.00 GPa, and 82.17 MPa, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that SWV and these wood properties examined near the bark were always higher than those values measured near the pith. Stress wave technology can be used to predict MOE and MOR; however, AD is still a more reliable indicator for predicting mechanical properties since it showed a strong correlation with MOE (r = 0.86; P < 0.001) and MOR (r = 0.80; P < 0.001).

Nasjonalt kvalitetsregister for melanom bidrar til å styrke kvaliteten på helsehjelpen som gis til melanompasienter
Authors: Brenn Hilde Hedemann , Robsahm Trude Eid , Dørum Liv Marit , Svendsen Henrik Løvendahl
Published: October 2023

Nasjonalt kvalitetsregister for melanom (heretter Melanomregisteret) skal bidra til å sikre at utredning ogbehandling av melanompasienter skjer i henhold til anbefalte retningslinjer og er av så høy kvalitet som mulig,uavhengig av hvor i landet man bor. Melanomregisteret er derfor avhengig av innrapporterte data fra sykehusenhetenesom utreder og behandler melanompasientene for å kunne måle kvaliteten på helsehjelpen som gis.Dette, sammen med data fra flere kilder, gir grunnlag for målinger som blir presentert som kvalitetsindikatorerbestemt av fagrådet, sammenfattet i en årlig rapport. Hensikten med årsrapportene er at sykehusene brukerresultatene som bakgrunn for å iverksette kvalitetsforbedrende tiltak slik at utredning- og behandlingstilbudettil pasienter med melanom blir så godt som mulig. Melanomregisteret inneholder også pasientrapporterte datasiden 2021. Vi ser frem til å få ytterligere kunnskap om hvordan kreftsykdommen og behandlingen påvirkerhelse og livskvalitet over tid, sammen med pasientenes egne erfaringer med helsetjenesten
The practices of Brazilian internet users on the environmental impacts associated with the use of medicines in the COVID-19 pandemic: are we practicing ecopharmacovigilance?

A contaminação por fármacos representa uma ameaça ambiental e de saúde pública. Uma das fontes de entrada desses compostos no meio ambiente é o descarte de medicamentos vencidos ou não utilizados. No entanto, é preciso entender como a população reconhece esse problema, para subsidiar ações de gestão perante esse tema. Essas formas de mitigar e/ou reduzir a entrada de fármacos no meio ambiente é uma das principais linhas de atuação da ecofarmacovigilância (EPV). Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar os hábitos ambientais do descarte de medicamentos dos internautas brasileiros, de acordo com a legislação vigente, bem como os impactos ambientais decorrentes da poluição por fármacos, durante a pandemia de COVID-19, além de avaliar a implantação do conceito EPV para evitar a entrada de fármacos no meio ambiente. Foi desenvolvido um questionário online na plataforma Google Forms com 26 questões, divulgado durante seis meses em redes sociais, sites e e-mails. O método de amostragem utilizado foi o de conveniência. Os resultados indicaram a predominância de consumo de classes terapêuticas associadas ao tratamento da COVID-19. Além disso, observou-se que a maioria dos participantes descartava medicamentos de uso humano (62%) e veterinário (33,6%) no lixo comum. Além disso, constatou-se que existe uma preocupação do entrevistado sobre a influência dessas substâncias na contaminação da água e do solo, na saúde humana e animal associada a doenças. Divulgar a legislação brasileira vigente e melhorar a eficácia dos programas de logística reversa, bem como conscientizar a sociedade sobre os impactos ambientais associados aos fármacos, pode auxiliar na mitigação dessa problemática ambiental.

Sobre a distinção entre prudência e moralidade em Kant e Crusius: considerações sobre a origem da doutrina do imperativo categórico
Authors: Cunha Bruno
Published: October 2023

É indiscutível a extensão da originalidade e da importância da ética de Kant. O que talvez não seja tão evidente é que a filosofia moral de Kant como um todo não foi uma teoria subitamente construída, mas dependeu de um extenso e profundo debate com a tradição filosófica, sobretudo, a representada pela escolástica alemã, com uma consequentemente apropriação ou assimilação de vários de seus aspectos. No que diz respeito a história do desenvolvimento da doutrina do imperativo categórico, em particular, não é possível ser indiferente í  influência da filosofia prática do filósofo e teólogo alemão do iluminismo, Christian August Crusius. Meu objetivo nesse artigo é , dessa forma, o de tentar identificar, levando em conta a distinção da praxis em necessidade problemática e moral e o contraste entre prudência e moralidade, alguns pontos de interseção entre as filosofia morais de Crusius e Kant em sua origem.
Projeto Crítico e o Romantismo de Novalis
Authors: Corôa Pedro Paulo Da Costa
Published: October 2023

O objetivo do nosso artigo é estabelecer um vínculo necessário entre aquele que talvez tenha sido o mais filosófico representante do primeiro romantismo na Alemanha, Novalis, e o sistema kantiano, sobretudo graças a mediação promovida pela Crítica do Juízo, obra em que Kant reconhece, no juízo estético, um espaço tão radical para o exercício livre do pensamento que não há como deixar de identificar nele uma base comum à filosofia e à arte. Na busca de uma raiz originária para o criticismo e o primeiro romantismo, enfatizamos o profundo alcance dos elementos subjetivos na construção da filosofia transcendental, cuja culminância é, justamente, a última crítica.
Um elemento a mais: A influência das ideias estéticas na doutrina do gosto
Authors: Belmani Ana Carolina De Carvalho
Published: October 2023

Este artigo pretende mostrar em que medida a admissão da razão em juízos sobre o belo é oportuna para a coesão na doutrina do gosto. Partimos da hipótese de que certas inconsistências conceituais da Analítica do belo, que circundam a definição de forma bela, podem ser resolvidas na Analítica do sublime, onde os juízos estéticos são pensados sob a influência da razão e das ideias estéticas. Iniciaremos nossa exposição com uma breve apresentação da doutrina do gosto kantiana, o que deverá incluir a análise dos principais aspectos do juízo estético reflexionante. A partir daí, poderemos discutir alguns impasses interpretativos relativos ao conceito de forma introduzido no terceiro momento da Analítica do belo. Em seguida, procuraremos mostrar como a análise da relação entre a imaginação e ideias estéticas pode lançar luz sob as dificuldades supracitadas, sem que o desinteresse do juízo de gosto puro seja comprometido.
