Stoicism and the Subconscious Mind: A Synergy for Inner Peace and Creativity
Authors: Leiva Hugo
Published: January 2025

Stoicism and the subconscious mind, although rooted in distinct philosophical and psychological frameworks, exhibit profound interconnections. Both advocate releasing attachments, fostering acceptance, and cultivating mental clarity to achieve an optimal state of being. This article explores the synergy between Stoic principles and the subconscious mind, emphasizing their shared values and practical applications in problem-solving, creativity, and emotional well-being. By integrating Stoic teachings with an understanding of subconscious processes, individuals can harness inner resources to lead more balanced and productive lives. As William James famously stated, "The greatest discovery of the 19th century is the power of the subconscious touched by faith." This underscores how, regardless of belief, the subconscious can respond to our desires when approached with unwavering faith—a faith born from the depths of our hearts.
English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) ‘Bottled’ in English Version Education: Dream and Reality*
Authors:   University of Dhaka, Roshid Mahammod Moninoor , Sultana Shaila ,   BRAC University
Published: January 2025

The strengths and limitations of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) have been extensively studied in the field of English language teaching. However, limited attention has been given to the aspirations of non-elite middle-class parents in Bangladesh, who strongly value EMI for its perceived instrumental benefits, thereby creating a grassroots linguistic market. This study investigates the effectiveness of English Version Education (EVE), a recently developed educational system introduced by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB). EVE delivers the national curriculum in English, using textbooks translated from Bangla, aiming to enhance learners’ English language skills while retaining alignment with the national educational framework. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study finds that parents view EVE as a means to secure better socio-economic opportunities for their children. However, their expectations are often unmet due to significant challenges, including teachers’ limited English proficiency and the absence of an immersive English-speaking environment in schools. Although EVE offers affordable tuition, it frequently fails to deliver the anticipated improvements in students’ English competence and justifies the financial investment by parents. The study concludes that while EVE serves as a cost-effective alternative to traditional EMI, its rapid expansion risks exacerbating social inequalities, potentially leading to new forms of societal division.

L’anti-simposio di Luciano: motivi parodici nel Simposio o i Lapiti
Authors:   Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, Floridi Lucia
Published: January 2025

Il Simposio o i Lapiti di Luciano di Samosata, lo si è notato più volte, ha tra i suoi principali modelli il Simposio di Platone, di cui rappresenta un comico rovesciamento. L’illustre modello è rivisitato attraverso il massiccio innesto, nella cornice strutturale del banchetto dei filosofi, di temi e motivi della tradizione comica e satirica. L’ibridazione che ne consegue è perfettamente in linea con il programma di Luciano, che in più luoghi si vanta di aver fuso due generi in origine reciprocamente estranei: il dialogo, serio e austero, e la commedia, libera e ridanciana, che aveva spesso tra i suoi bersagli polemici proprio i protagonisti del dialogo filosofico (Prom. es 6).
In questo lavoro passerò in rassegna alcuni dei temi comico-satirici di cui si nutre il testo lucianeo. Mi concentrerò, in particolare, su tre nuclei tematici: l’infrazione del galateo simposiale in relazione alla giusta misura nel mangiare e nel bere; gli eccessi erotici; le forme dell’intrattenimento simpotico. L’obiettivo è quello di suggerire che, accanto a personaggi e topoi tratti direttamente dalla commedia, nel Simposio agisca anche la memoria di una tradizione parodico-satirica più ampia, che arriva forse a inglobare le suggestioni di un genere popolare sfuggente come quello che ha per protagonista la figura del gryllos, rifunzionalizzato in vista del gioco di rovesciamento parodico intorno a cui è costruito l’intero testo.
Socrates as Eros: the models of erastēs in Plato's Symposium
Authors:   Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Karydopoulos Efstratios
Published: January 2025

In the Symposium, Plato presents six speakers praising the god Eros and his impact on human life. In this essay, I propose that each speaker describes a particular model of erastēs or erōmenos, which directly corresponds to the speaker’s own social status and is present in Athens of the Vth and IVth B.C. At the banquet an unofficial contest unfolds among the speakers regarding the most prominent and superior model of erastēs in classical Athens. In Socrates’ speech, Plato introduces a new model of erastēs in the city, the philosopher-erastēs. Plato intends to demonstrate the superiority of the philosopher-erastēs in comparison to the other models of erastēs. As it becomes evident in Alcibiades’ speech, Socrates himself is the philosopher-erastēs in the city, who surpasses the other models of erastēs by implanting aporia in the Athenian people and leading them to self-consciousness through his philosophical logoi. In the conclusion of my essay, I argue that Plato’s intention in the Symposium is to present Socrates as the embodiment of Eros, who turns everyone into a lover of true Beauty and redirects them to their inner self.
Il passaggio dell'amore. Il Simposio platonico nella lettura di Luisa Muraro
Authors:   Università degli studi di Bergamo, Fanciullacci Riccardo
Published: January 2025

L’articolo si propone di ricostruire l’interpretazione offerta da Luisa Muraro dell’insegnamento di Diotima esposto nel Simposio platonico. Tale interpretazione viene messa a confronto con ciò che è in discussione nel dibattito attuale sia a proposito del significato del discorso di Diotima, sia a proposito della questione dell’esistenza storica di questo personaggio. La lettura di Muraro muove dal problema dell’esistenza o inesistenza storica di Diotima per introdurre poi la questione dell’esistenza simbolica e dunque il problema dell’assimilazione da parte di Platone di un insegnamento in cui sono ancora leggibili tracce di un sapere delle origini. Viene chiarita la concezione epistemologica che legittima la ricerca di tali tracce al di là della ricostruzione filologica, ma senza cadere in una violenza ermeneutica gratuita. Nel sapere della mistica delle beghine, Muraro trova le parole e i concetti per riscoprire alcune virtualità dell’insegnamento di Diotima (in particolare, riguardo al rapporto tra amore, desiderio e contingenza) contro l’appropriazione platonica poi sviluppata nel platonismo cristiano.
Recitare Platone. Una sorprendente peripezia teatrale dove il pensiero si fa carne
Authors: Poggioni Christian
Published: January 2025

Se mettere in scena un dramma Shakespeariano chiede di dar corpo e voce a un turbine di sentimenti ed emozioni, mettere in scena un dialogo di Platone chiede di dar corpo e voce a un flusso di pensieri. In entrambi i casi la chiave è la parola, che in teatro può diventare carne, suono e azione. Portare Platone su un palcoscenico presuppone un lavoro specifico sul testo, poiché la lingua filosofica deve farsi anche lingua teatrale: in che modo? Partendo da una traduzione scrupolosa per approdare ad un fraseggio fluido, musicale, ritmico che stimoli e rafforzi la gestualità e la mimica dell’attore. Quasi 200 repliche di Simposio e Apologia di Socrate, ascoltate nell’arco di un decennio da un pubblico variegato che abbraccia, oltre ai classici appassionati di teatro, studenti di scuole superiori – e non solo licei, ma anche istituti tecnici – accademici, ordini di avvocati e magistrati nonché turisti stranieri in visita presso famosi siti archeologici – per i quali Apologia è stata appositamente allestita in lingua inglese – hanno dimostrato che la profondità del pensiero platonico può essere trasmessa e rimeditata in modo coinvolgente, piacevole e possibilmente emozionante.

Authors: Li Zixuan , Kuermanaili Jiaenlisheng , Lu Xinyu , Li Xiaomin
Published: January 2025

The use of waste desiliconized rice husk charcoal as the base material and modified activation treatment with potassium hydride and cobalt aric acid are aimed at preparing a nitrogen-doped magnetic activated carbon material, so as to explore and use the adsorption method to study its performance of sulfamethoxole. Incorporating biomechanical principles allows for a deeper understanding of how structural attributes influence adsorption efficiency. The effects of pH, initial dye concentration, time and temperature on the adsorption behavior of materials were studied. For example, pH can significantly alter the surface charge of the adsorbent, affecting electrostatic interactions with the antibiotic molecules. Temperature influences molecular motion, enhancing the likelihood of successful adsorption events. Fourier infrared Spectrometer (FI-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), BET, thermoweight (TG) and other equipment were used to analyze its characteristics. The experimental results showed that the adsorption effect was best when the mass ratio of activated rice husk charcoal to cobalt acetate and urea was 1:0.4:2, the specific surface area could reach 900.9527 m2·g−1, and the average pore size was 3.0412 nm. At an initial concentration of 100 mg·L−1, the dosage is 0.015 g, the temperature is 35 ℃, and the adsorption time is 240 min, the adsorption effect is the best. The optimal adsorption combination was as follows: dosage of 0.015 g, initial concentration of sulfamethoxazole 100 mg·L−1, the adsorption time was 240 min, and the maximum adsorption capacity could reach 100.04 mg·g−1, and the adsorbent dosage had the most significant effect on the adsorption effect. Through the adsorption isotherm fit process, it conforms to the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model and belongs to chemical adsorption. This research highlights the biomechanical interactions at play in the adsorption process, providing a foundation for developing effective strategies to address sulfonamide antibiotic contamination through advanced activated carbon materials.
Effect of biomechanics-correlated integrated nursing mode of physician and nursing on operation process, intraoperative and postoperative adverse reactions and resuscitation quality of elderly patients with painless gastroscopy
Authors: Liu Ziyan , Gao Fenghong , Jin Jing , Wang Wenbo , Zhao Xuyang , Liang Qi , Wang Jing , Wei Lina
Published: January 2025

Background: The elderly commonly exhibit stressful responses during painless gastroscopy. At the cellular molecular biomechanics level, this stress activates the sympathetic nervous system, leading to the release of catecholamines like adrenaline.  These molecules bind to adrenergic receptors on cells, initiating a cascade of intracellular signaling events. The integrated medical and nursing care model is a modern nursing approach that has been gradually applied in clinical practice over the last few years. This study was conducted to survey the value of this nursing model in elderly patients undergoing painless gastroscopy. Objective: To survey the impact of the integrated medical and nursing care model in painless gastroscopy in the elderly on the quality of surgical procedures, intraoperative and postoperative adverse effects and resuscitation. Methods: From August 2020 to August 2022, eighty elderly patients who underwent painless gastroscopy in our hospital were enrolled. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups of 40 cases each. In the control group, the patients accepted routine intervention, and in the observation group, the patients accepted the intervention of the physician-nursing integrated nursing model. The differences of nursing effects were compared between the two groups. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine nursing satisfaction and adverse reactions. Results: The examination time, fully awake time, and residence time of resuscitation room in the observation group were remarkably shorter (P < 0.05). After the failure of 5min and anesthetics before the examination, the scores of SAS and SDS in the observation group were remarkably lower (P < 0.05), suggest that the model might impact the balance of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. These neurotransmitters play crucial roles in mood regulation and are regulated by complex molecular mechanisms involving transporters and enzymes. In GCQ score, the physiological, psychological, social, and cultural, total environmental scores of the patients in the observation group were remarkably higher. After nursing, the VAS score of the observation group was lower, and the Ramsay score was higher. The total nursing satisfaction rate of the observation group was 97.50%, while that of the control group was 67.50%. Adverse reactions were recorded in both the observation group and the control group at a rate of 7.50% and 30.00%, respectively. Conclusion: The integrated medical and nursing care model holds significant value for elderly painless gastroscopy patients by potentially modulating diverse cellular molecular biomechanical aspects, alleviating negative emotions, decreasing adverse reaction risks, and enhancing nursing satisfaction.

The article examines the role of single-industry towns in the structure of the national economy of Kazakhstan and special difficulties in achieving sustainable development. These cities are heavily dependent on a limited number of industrial enterprises, which threatens their development. The main tasks include monoculturalization of the economy, growing socio economic difficulties, environmental problems and demographic changes. To address these issues, this study focuses on the best international practices. In this study, in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the problems and possible solutions for single-industry towns in Kazakhstan, a comparative analysis is carried out and the collected data is analyzed with international examples to identify applicable strategies that can be adapted to the Kazakh context. Economic diversification is important to reduce dependence on one branch of industry. For example, Japan and Germany have been successful in diversifying their economies using new technologies and innovative methods. Despite the fact that Kazakhstan is mainly a metallurgical Center, cities such as Temirtau are exploring opportunities for the development of Tourism and small and medium-sized businesses. Infrastructure modernization is also an important factor, as outdated infrastructure hinders economic and social development. The experience of the Chinese city of Shenzhen shows that it is possible to invest in modern infrastructure and change the economic climate.

The term "corruption economy" in both narrow and broad senses refers to unethical and selfish actions aimed at personal enrichment by individuals holding government positions. These individuals, abusing their authority, embezzle significant budget funds allocated for the country's prosperity and development to enrich themselves, their families, and relatives. Such actions are accompanied by corrupt schemes that harm the country's economic growth. The reason for this lies in the fact that some of the wealthiest people in the world initially built their fortunes while holding government positions, leveraging corrupt methods. Their enrichment occurred through bribery and fraud. These individuals did not contribute to the proper functioning of their countries' economies; instead, they focused solely on filling their own pockets. This is why corruption is defined as the inclination of officials in the system of power to use their authority for illegal and criminal actions aimed at personal gain. The article analyzes how the fight against corruption is being carried out to prevent the establishment and spread of a "corruption economy" in our country.

A legislação brasileira determina que as compras públicas sejam prioritariamente realizadas mediante licitações, e a Lei nº 14.133/2021 estabelece que os preços de bens e serviços em geral sejam limitados à mediana de contratos anteriores. Por desconsiderar princípios econômicos básicos, esse limite gera valores inadequados, frequentemente sub ou superestimados. Assim, este artigo se vale de um estudo de caso para investigar a possibilidade de aperfeiçoamento desse limite por meio de um modelo econométrico que considere as influências do tipo de aquisição, da economia de escala e de eventuais atualizações de preços, conforme definido em lei. O artigo conclui que tal modelo é adequado e defende que sua implementação contribuiria para que a Administração alcançasse a melhor relação custo-benefício em suas licitações, favorecendo a implementação das políticas públicas no Brasil.

O objetivo do estudo é analisar, sob o enfoque da mineração de dados, as informações do Relato Integrado de Gestão (RIG) em algumas Unidades Prestadoras de Contas (UPCs) brasileiras por meio da ferramenta Orange Data Mining (ODM). Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo qualitativo, documental e exploratório por meio de práticas de análise textual de dados financeiros e não financeiros do RIG de quinze universidades federais brasileiras. São apresentados dois exemplos de análises, com foco em um único exercício, 2019, o que poderá ser mais explorado em estudos futuros, considerando-se a expectativa de adoção da Estrutura Internacional do Relato Integrado (EIRI) pelas UPCs nos Estados e Municípios.  Os resultados da abordagem prática na execução da ODM demonstraram que as características intuitivas da ferramenta podem facilitar as análises por diversos perfis de pesquisadores, do iniciante ao mais experiente, e que se configura como oportunidade para diferentes análises dos referidos dados do RIG. As contribuições da pesquisa poderão integrar a literatura sobre o uso da ODM no setor público, no estímulo a estudantes, servidores públicos, inclusive os do controle, na prática da avaliação das informações do RIG, sobretudo no controle social e na transparência.
