The crisis of wisdom and psychoanalysis
Authors: Govedarica Milanko , Prica Aleksandar
Published: June 2022

The topic of this paper is an examination of the practical dimension of contemporary philosophical culture, both in relation to the idea of wisdom in traditional philosophy and in relation to psychoanalytical practice. In the first part of the paper, we determine what philosophical culture is, primarily by emphasizing the differences between that culture and the scientific-technological culture. In the second part of the paper, we show that such a philosophical culture has fallen into a crisis. In the third part of paper, we offer a way out of that crisis, in the form of psychoanalysis, which criticizes the primacy that philosophical culture accords to consciousness, logic, diachronic and linear ways of thinking. In the fourth and last part of the paper, we present the shortcomings of this psychoanalytical model. As a solution, we offer a new model of philosophical culture, created by the synthesis of philosophy, psychoanalysis, but also other discipline of human thought, which has similarities with Nietzsche?s anticipation of Gay Science, as well as with Jasper?s idea of transcendence.
Eutopia and engagement today
Authors: Agatonovic Milos
Published: June 2022

The contemporary conceptions of universal basic income (by Guy Standing), tax havens extraction (by Gabriel Zucman), and climate emergency (by Christiana Figueres) are briefly presented in the form of exposition in Massive Attack?s Eutopia EP. These conceptions address the most concerning issues of today?s world, while the concept of eutopia, proposed by Massive Attack?s Robert Del Naja and Mark Donne, represents ?a place of well-being, as a practical aspiration,? a realistic utopia in which those issues are resolved. The present paper discusses the conceptions presented in Eutopia, assessing the possibility of the materialisation of eutopia. As suggested by Massive Attack, the ideas of Eutopia can be traced back to More?s Utopia, being rooted in a humanistic endeavour of improving humanity, inspiring engagement and search for a better and just society. Apart from discussing Eutopia, the paper explores Another Now, the political science-fiction novel by Yanis Varoufakis. Varoufakis? critique of capitalism and the alternative he proposes in the novel Another Now argue along the same line as Eutopia, encouraging engagement in today?s world.

This paper substantiates the meritocentric model and changes in the methodological tools for spatial development in Ukraine. The proposed meritocentric approach emphasizes the research and evaluation of processes in the state, as well as the qualitative characteristics of its space and spatial transformations, bringing knowledge, values, human potential, creativity, technology, and information to the forefront. The national level in the spatial planning of Ukraine is represented by the General scheme of planning of the territory of the state. The paper assesses the spatial situation in the state, including any challenges and threats that have arisen, and it determines the directions of spatial organization and development in the territory. It also establishes criteria for assessing the spatial situation and changes in space, the main conditions and factors of development of individual territories, and the regulators of development.
Effect of Derivative Filter Usage on a PID Controller Optimized via Pathfinder Algorithm: An Example of a DC-MSCS
Authors: BAŞLIK Şeymanur , SESLİ Erhan , AKYAZI Ömür
Published: June 2022

In this article, Pathfinder-Derivative filtered proportional-integral-derivative controller (PF-PIDF) is proposed as the optimum algorithm and controller for DC motor speed control. The Pathfinder algorithm is inspired by the collective behavior of the animal colony and imitates the leadership hierarchy of the herds in order to determine the best meal or hunting ground. The movement of all particles is not regular, they all move randomly. In order to acquire the best parameters of the derivative filtered PID controller (PIDF) controller with the Pathfinder algorithm, the objective function ITAE (Integral of the Time Multiple Absolute Error), one of the commonly used objective functions in the literature, was used. Time solution set analysis, frequency response analysis (bode), robustness analysis, pole-zero map analysis and load disturbance rejection analysis were performed in MATLAB/Simulink software to make comparisons between algorithms and controllers and to testify the sufficiency of the proposed controller. As a result of the studies, it has been seen that the with PIDF Pathfinder algorithm has better performance than the other optimization algorithms in the article.

Authors: KORKU Mihriban , FEYZULLAHOĞLU Erol , İLHAN Recep
Published: June 2022

Kompozit malzemeler, gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte günümüzde birçok alanda başarıyla kullanılmaktadırlar. Elyaf takviyeli polimer kompozitler, yüksek dayanım ve düşük maliyet özelliklerinden dolayı en sık tercih edilen kompozit malzemelerdir. Cam elyaf takviyeli polyester (CTP) kompozitler kullanım alanlarına göre istenilen mekanik ve tribolojik özellikleri karşılayan polimer matrisli ve cam elyaf takviye malzemeli bir kompozit türüdür. Cam elyaf takviyeli polyester kompozit malzemeler farklı türlerde polyester ve çekme katkıları içerebilmektedir. Çevresel koşullar cam elyaf takviyeli polyester kompozitlerin aşınma dayanımı üzerinde etkili olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, iki farklı türde polyester (ortoftalik ve izoftalik) ve çekme katkısı (polistiren ve plastifiyen) içeren cam elyaf takviyeli polyester kompozit malzemelerin farklı çevresel koşullar (UV ışıma, asit ortamı, tuzlu su ortamı, hızlandırılmış yaşlandırma, hidrotermal yaşlandırma ve termal çevrim) altındaki aşınma davranışları incelenmiş ve farklı türlerde polyester ve çekme katkısı içeren numunelerde çevresel koşulların malzemelerin aşınma davranışları üzerine olan etkileri araştırılmıştır. CTP kompozit numunelerin aşınma dayanımına çevresel koşulların etkileri dikkate alındığında her iki numunede de UV ışıma ortamına ve hidrotermal yaşlandırmaya maruz kalan numunelerin aşınma dayanımının arttığı gözlemlenmiştir. CTP kompozit malzemelerin içerisinde polistiren çekme katkısının kullanılması malzemenin aşınma dayanımını iyileştirmektedir. Ortoftalik polyester reçine içeren CTP kompozit numunelerin, izoftalik reçine içeren numunelere kıyasla aşınma dayanımları daha iyidir.

Authors: Alawad B.A.B. , Abdelbagi H.A.A. , Ntsoane Tshepo , Hlatshwayo Thulani
Published: June 2022

Zirconium carbide (ZrC) samples were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS), at temperatures of 1700 °C, 1900 °C and 2100 °C, all at pressure of 50 megapascal (MPa). The density of ZrC ceramic pellets was measured using a Micromeritics AccuPyc II 1340 Helium Pycnometer. The density of ZrC ceramic pellets was found to increase from (6.51 ± 0.032) g/cm3 to (6.66 ± 0.039) g/cm3 and (6.70 ± 0.017) g/cm3 when the temperature of the SPS was increased from 1700 oC to 1900 oC and 2100 oC respectively. Moreover, the hardness of ZrC ceramic pellets were measured using Rockwell hardness test. The hardness of ZrC ceramic pellets increased from (7.4 ± 0.83) to (17.0 ± 0.073) and (18.4± 0.05) gigapascals (GPa) at temperatures of 1700 oC, 1900 oC and 2100 oC respectively. X-ray diffraction shows the absence of spurious phases or impurity. XRD results showed that, all prepared ZrC samples has the same preferred orientation of the planes (i.e., 200). Furthermore, the average grain size of ZrC was calculated using Sherrers’s equation. The average grain size of the pure ZrC powder increased from 67.46 nm to 72 nm, 79 nm and 83 nm when the ZrC powder was sinteried at temperatures of 1700 oC, 1900 oC and 2100 oC respectively. The differences in the average grain size between the prepared samples leads to show different surface morphologies that monitored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Authors: Ferrei̇ra Diogo , Oliveira Paulo , Suleman Afzal
Published: June 2022

The aim of this work is to design a control system based on modern control methods to control flight formations of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles. A leader-follower methodology is implemented where the leader vehicle has some predefined trajectory, and the follower vehicles are controlled in order to track the leader while keeping a constant displacement. The formation control system, responsible for the vehicle formation, considers, at first, only the motion at a constant height, and secondly, the three-dimensional motion. In both cases, the nonlinear control laws are derived based on Lyapunov stability theory and the Backstepping method. The control laws are validated in simulation, resorting to a realistic environment and vehicle models.

Authors: Bi̇li̇ci̇ Mesut , Karalı Mehmet
Published: June 2022

High-speed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) will be an interesting subject of study in today’s aviation technology because of their ingenuity in obtaining high speeds while maintaining good maneuverability. In this study, modeling and control of a fixed-wing high-speed mini-UAV are performed. Aerodynamic analyses of the vehicle with a wingspan of 1.2 meters and a total take-off weight of 1.1 kg are done with the help of some computational fluid dynamics software. A developed MATLAB/Simulink code evaluates flight performance after a doublet control surface disturbance with six-degrees-of-freedom flight simulations in both longitudinal and lateral directions by a developed MATLAB/Simulink code. The transfer functions are obtained by trimming the aircraft at wing-level for a speed of 155 km/h, and the maximum speed that the mini-UAV could reach is calculated as 400 km/h. Two kinds of different linear controllers are designed to hold the pitch angle of the vehicle to the desired value. The time responses of the controllers are represented, and the elevator deflection effort is evaluated. Finally, a compulsive pitch angle is wanted to be tracked by the two controllers, and their responses are compared in terms of performance and stability.

Authors: Ebot Mathias , Armila Päivi
Published: June 2022

This article analyses expectations, fears, and aspirations of parents from Finnish-African families who raise their children in Finland. Focusing on parents’ interviews narratives, we explore their ideas and expectations concerning their children’s future. As parents in general, they have hopes and responsibilities connected with their children’s future happiness and success. Because of the multiculturalism and multiple layers of difference of their families and of the fathers’ (black men from sub-Saharan Africa) origins and skin colour of the children, they also have special fears in their parenthood. In the analysis orientations regarding happiness, life satisfaction and freedom of children are considered as parental duties of these adults. They want to play an important role in influencing their children’s future. As opposite to their fears, they bring along an idea of their children representing a new cosmopolitan generation who have capabilities to act in a cosmopolitan future and change the society into that direction as well.

Published: June 2022

Research on foreign language anxiety among Indonesian learners of English has gained some attention thus far. However, few studies have examined specifically English listening anxiety of Indoensian speakers. Previous research in other countries has suggested a number of variables contributing to the foreign language anxiety. Taking into consideration some of the factors that are distinctive for Indonesian learners’ contexts, this present study aims to find out the relationship between number of languages learned or acquired by the learners, gender of the learners, the learners’ English self-rating proficiency, and length of residence of the learners in the target language country with L2 listening anxiety of Indonesian learners of English. This study involved Foreign Language Listening Anxiety Scale (FLLAS) data that were obtained from 109 Indonesian university students and were analyzed quantitatively using Pearson’s correlation, Spearman’s rho, and one-way ANOVAs. The finding shows that there is a significant negative correlation between Indonesian learners of English listening anxiety with the learners’ length of residence in the target language country and the learners’ English self-rating proficiency.  The significant difference in terms of length of residence in the target language country especially lied in between the no residence group and <1-year group, and between no residence group and >1 year. In the English self-rating, the significant difference lied in between Intermediate and advanced groups.

Published: June 2022

Huaxtepec uno de los más famosos jardines aztecas, pertenecía a Moctezuma I (1440-1469 Ilhuicamina). Este jardín prehispánico, como otros, contenía plantas rituales y medicinales. Los frailes misioneros fueron los primeros que a mediados del siglo XVI se interesaron por las prácticas médicas desarrolladas por los indígenas y por las plantas que utilizaban en sanaciones y rituales religiosos. Estos frailes fundaron también los primeros hospitales como el Hospital de la Santa Cruz en Huaxtepec. Este estudio intenta demostrar cómo este Hospital mantuvo un papel importante durante la colonia como lugar de relajación y curación en donde las plantas del antiguo jardín de Moctezuma se siguieron utilizando y mezclaron con las provenientes de otros continentes para la sanación de los enfermos.

Para fundamentar dicha propuesta se ha escogido un marco teórico creado a partir de la Multimodalidad, la cual, permite el análisis del texto digital y el análisis de su discurso de una manera más completa que el análisis meramente textual debido a que se tienen en cuenta más parámetros como el diseño gráfico, la experiencia de usuario e el propio diseño web. A partir de este marco teórico se crea una metodología que facilita el examen de cualquier texto digital aunque cabe mencionar que esta metodología aquí se aplicará al análisis de un Producto Literario Digital concreto sobre el cual, se puede aplicar de manera inferencial a otros textos digitales. Con este artículo se pretende dotar al profesorado de un recurso teórico para extraer toda la información posible de un texto digital y su consecuente discurso, facilitando así su desempeño en el aula a la hora de trabajar este contenido con el alumnado.

Published: June 2022

The use of video in distance education contexts and in virtual training is essential. This study presents the results of an experience with 114 university professors from two universities in the Dominican Republic who carried out training activities on the pedagogical bases of the Polimedia systems. The degree of acceptance of the Polimedia system was measured through an adaptation of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) developed by Davis in 1989, and the significance of different sociodemographic variables in the model was analyzed. The results demonstrate the high degree of teacher acceptance of the Polimedia system and its relationship with variables such as experience with ICT, as well as the robustness of the TAM. This strengthens the need to establish training plans that focus less on technological aspects and more on the pedagogical dimension.

Up to 50% of patients presenting with stable, mainly exercise-induced, chest pain and 10–20% of those admitted to hospital with chest pain suggesting an acute coronary syndrome show normal or near-normal coronary arteries at angiography. Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a major cause of symptoms in these patients. However, controversial data exist about their prognosis. In this article, we critically review characteristics and results of the main studies that assessed clinical outcome of patients with angina chest pain and nonobstructive coronary artery disease presenting with either a stable angina pattern or an acute coronary syndrome. Published data indicate that the patients included in most studies are heterogeneous and a major determinant of clinical outcome is the presence of atherosclerotic, albeit not obstructive, coronary artery disease. Long-term prognosis seems instead excellent in patients with totally normal coronary arteries and a syndrome of CMD-related stable angina (microvascular angina). On the other hand, the prognostic impact of CMD in patients presenting with an acute coronary syndrome needs to be better assessed in future studies.

Aim

The aim of this study is to examine the association of the presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) values with mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Methods

This posthoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial consisted of hospitalized patients with atrial fibrillation who were followed up for a median of 2.7 years after discharge. Kaplan–Meier curves, multivariate Cox-regression and spline curves were utilized to assess the association of CKD, CKD stages 2–5 according to the KDOQI guidelines, and the continuum of eGFR values with the primary outcome of all-cause death, and the secondary outcome of cardiovascular mortality.

Results

Out of 1064 hospitalized patients with atrial fibrillation, 465 (43.7%) had comorbid CKD. The presence of CKD was associated with an increased risk for both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality following hospitalization [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 1.60; 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs): 1.25–2.05 and aHR: 1.74; 95% CI: 1.30–2.33, respectively]. The aHRs for all-cause mortality in CKD stages 2–5, as compared with CKD stage 1 were 2.18, 2.62, 4.20 and 3.38, respectively (all P < 0.05). In spline curve analyses, eGFR values lower than 50 ml/min/1.73 m2 were independent predictors of higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.

Conclusion

In recently hospitalized patients with atrial fibrillation, the presence of CKD was independently associated with decreased survival, which was significant across CKD stages 2–5, as compared with CKD stage 1. Values of eGFR lower than 50 ml/min/1.73 m2 were incrementally associated with worse prognosis.
The One Health vision requires veterinarians and physicians to collaborate to prevent bioethical challenges created by restricted access to ketamine in low- and middle-income countries
Authors: Downing Roberta A.
Published: June 2022

The One Health approach asserts that the health of animals and people is closely connected. Under this approach, the CDC and AVMA work globally to attain optimal health outcomes for both animals and humans. One facet of optimal health involves access to safe and effective anesthetics and analgesics. The anesthetic and analgesic drug ketamine possesses unique properties that make it particularly important for both veterinary and human patients in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). These properties include its portability and stability, low cost, ease of administration, and wide therapeutic margin. China advocates regularly to the United Nations for global scheduling of ketamine as a controlled substance. However, this would disproportionately restrict access to ketamine in LMICs, imposing bioethical challenges related to animal patients, human patients, and communities. In alignment with the One Health vision, opposing global scheduling of ketamine in LMICs creates a unique opportunity for collaboration between veterinarians and physicians in LMICs and high-income countries to prevent these bioethical challenges.
Neumann boundary optimal control problems governed by parabolic variational equalities
Authors: Bollo Carolina M. , Gariboldi Claudia M. , Tarzia Domingo A.
Published: June 2022

We consider a heat conduction problem S with mixed boundary conditions in an n-dimensional domain Ω with regular boundary and a family of problems Sα
with also mixed boundary conditions in Ω, where α > 0 is the heat transfer coefficient on the portion of the boundary Γ1. In relation to these state systems, we formulate Neumann boundary optimal control problems on the heat flux q which is definite on the complementary portion Γ2 of the boundary of Ω. We obtain existence and uniqueness of the optimal controls, the first order optimality conditions in terms of the adjoint state and the convergence of the optimal controls, the system state and the adjoint state when the heat transfer coefficient α goes to infinity. Furthermore, we formulate particular boundary optimal control problems on a real parameter λ, in relation to the parabolic problems S and Sα
and to mixed elliptic problems P and Pα
. We find an explicit form for the optimal controls, we prove monotony properties and we obtain convergence results when the parameter time goes to infinity.

Published: June 2022

Research purpose. Adaptive Structuration Theory (AST), developed by Poole and DeSanctis (1990), implies that the application of information communication technologies (ICT) alone does not automatically lead to better outcomes and is dependent on the appropriation by the users of these ICT systems. So, authors in this paper research web-based idea management system (IMS) application adaptation and their relations with different IMS types and how it is all related to idea quantity (number of ideas generated). Do different IMS application types have different adaptation and appropriation levels?

Design / Methodology / Approach. The method applied for data collection was a global survey of >500 web-based IMS experienced organisations. The survey creation was based on the AST to evaluate web-based IMS in 8 different AST areas. In this paper, the authors analyse blocks about appropriation and adaptation. The survey was distributed through 100 web-based IMS developers that shared it with their clients (organisations that use web-based IMS). The holistic answer to the research question was based on 500 responses from diverse enterprises (different sizes, industries, and countries): the data analysis - statistical analysis. The study only deals with available commercial web-based IMS, not with privately designed or non-commercial IMS.

Findings. Different types of IMS applications have different adaptation and appropriation levels that could result in different outcomes. All adaptation and appropriation elements based on Innovation diffusion theory, Appropriation Scales and UTAUT models have a different impact on outputs. This paper answers the question: do different IMS application types have different adaptation and appropriation levels by exploring IMS application adaptation and their relations with different IMS types and how it is all related to idea quantity (number of ideas generated). Results prove that different IMS application types have different adaptation and appropriation levels: (H1) Active IMS provide higher adaptation and appropriation levels in the idea generation process than passive; (H2) External IMS provide higher adaptation and appropriation levels in the idea generation process than internal; (H3) Mixed IMS provides higher adaptation and appropriation level in idea generation process than internal.

Originality / Value / Practical implications. The research contributions can be summarised as follows: (1) the practical contribution helps organisations to predict what kind of idea quantity organisations could expect from different IMS application types based on their different adaptations and appropriations in the companies; (2) the research results highlight the elements of adoption of different types of IMS for organisations.
