Authors: Pérez Coronado Andrés , Briñez Cagua Daniel Felipe , González Fajardo Elizabeth , Valencia Grisales Bibiana Yaneth
Published: September 2024

La investigación tuvo como objetivo diseñar un indicador que evalúe el impacto de las actividades preventivas de la Policía Nacional de Colombia en la reducción de la tasa de extorsión. Para ello se midieron aspectos como el análisis del mercado criminal y las correlaciones de las variables delictivas, sociales, económicas y demográficas georreferenciadas de Bogotá, D. C. Además, se evaluaron la sofisticación criminal y la violencia de las organizaciones criminales mediante técnicas estadísticas, econométricas, de aprendizaje automático y de análisis espacial. En el marco del modelo de Policía para el Desarrollo Humano (PDH), se propone el indicador “impacto de la variación en la exposición criminógena de la extorsión”. Este indicador integra todas las variables establecidas por medio de la lógica difusa en tres dimensiones: capacidades y libertades, que refleja el impacto en los ciudadanos; tejido social, que representa el impacto en las comunidades o grupos sociales; y gobernabilidad democrática, que abarca el impacto en la gestión institucional. Los hallazgos sugieren que este indicador puede ser incluido en el mapa estratégico institucional de la Policía Nacional de Colombia como una herramienta innovadora para medir tanto el impacto de la oferta de prevención en el desarrollo humano de las personas como la reducción de los índices delincuenciales.

The level of drought and wetness is a standard in estimating conditions in an area that occur in the past, present, and future. By knowing the SPI value of an area, it can be known the drought distribution map which aims to handle drought disaster mitigation and adaptation. This research aims to see how much the level of drought, wetness, and normal conditions that occur in the Sombe Lewara Watershed, Sigi Regency so that prevention can be carried out and the basis for government policy-making in the event of a drought disaster. The method used in this research is the SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index) method which is commonly used to determine the deviation of rainfall from the norm, in a period (monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, and so on). This method is one of the analysis methods of the many techniques to obtain the existing drought index. In this study, the data used is rainfall data for 19 years (2003 - 2021) obtained from Porame Rain Station. The rainfall data is then processed to obtain the SPI value in the Sombe Lewara watershed. For the calculation of SPI, the processed rainfall data is then transferred to the gamma distribution to obtain the SPI value. SPI-1 index (1.145) with moderately wet conditions, SPI-3 (0.640) with normal conditions, SPI-6 (-0.234) with normal conditions, SPI-9 (1.578) with dry conditions, and SPI-12 (1.017) with moderately dry conditions.From 2003 - 2021, the year that experienced the worst drought conditions was in 2014 in SPI-1 with an SPI value of -3.888 (very dry). After all SPI values are averaged, the standard SPI value of the Sombe Lewara Watershed is in normal conditions with a value of 0.829.

Published: September 2024

The use of kayu Jawa (Lannea coromandelica) and gelugu (Cocos nucifera) is very necessary to reduce the forests exploitation as a source of wood raw materials. However, both have debility in terms of mechanical properties and maximum dimensional achievement. Therefore, a mixed glulam system can be applied to produce lightweight structural timber beams with adequate performance. This research is aimed at determining the flexural strength, stiffness, ductility and failure of mixed glulam beams combined with kayu Jawa and Gelugu. A series of bending tests were carried out on timber beams using the three point bending method on three categories of beams, namely B-J, B-G and B-L. B-J beams, consist of solid timber of kayu jawa which has density ± 0,60 gr/cm3, B-K consist of solid gelugu which has density ± 0.88 gr/cm3, while B-L consists of kayu jawa timber in the core zone and one layer of 10 mm thick gelugu with a density of 0,88 gr/cm3 on the tension zone. Each beams category consists of five replications with the dimensions of each beam being 50 mm of wide, 55 mm of high and 760 mm of span. Laminated beams (B-L) are glued with emulsion adhesive with Viscosity 2,500 – 4,500 cPS, resin content 90 – 91%, gel time: 1 hour and curing time 5 – 6 hours with two-sided coating of 250 gr/m2 and clamping force 2 MPa. The results of this research show that the flexural strength (fb) and stiffness (EI) of mixed glue laminated laminated beams are 1,3 times higher than B-J. Apart from that, mixed glue laminated laminated beams (B-L) there was an increase the ductility of 47% when compared to B-G.

Published: September 2024

Salinity and temperature are easily measured oceanographic factors that play an important role in physical, chemical and biological processes in the ocean. Therefore, information on the distribution of temperature and salinity is very important. Palu River is the main channel that has an important function in flowing the discharge that empties into Palu Bay. The coastal waters around the mouth of Palu River is a potential area for social and economic development of the surrounding community. Dependence on so many important commercial fisheries in the estuarine waters is one of the main economic reasons for conserving this habitat. Based on this, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the distribution of salinity and temperature in the Palu River estuary. Data were collected at 11 observation stations from October 24, 2022 to October 26, 2022, horizontally. The methods used were theoretical approaches and field observations. Data processing used ArcGis 10.8 software and ODV (Ocean Data View) 4.0. The research results from the distribution of salinity at 11 observation stations horizontally ranged from 3.63 to 36.10 ppt, while the temperature ranged from 26.30 °C to 29.30 °C. Salinity and temperature values varied at each depth. It appears that the tides and the flow of river water affect the distribution of salinity and temperature.
COVID-19 Pandemic: A Neurological Perspective
Authors: Bishokarma Suresh
Published: September 2024

Even though severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) primarily affects the respiratory system, the nervous system is not spared either. SARS-CoV-2 has been isolated from the brain, olfactory bulb and cerebrospinal fluid. During the SARS (SARS-CoV-1) outbreak in 2002 to 2003, neurons had been found to be highly susceptible for infection and the virus could cause extensive neuronal damage. Similar to SARS-CoV-1,SARS-CoV-2 exploits the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptor to gain entry and infect both glial and neuronal cells which express ACE-2 receptors.[1] SARS-CoV-2 affects the central as well as peripheral nervous system presenting with diverse manifestations like myelitis, cerebrovascular events (CVE) and encephalitis to mention a few.[2,3] Indepth understanding of neurotropic potential of this virus will be helpful to individualize the treatment protocol from a neurological perspective.

Published: September 2024

The poor state of health care in Nepal will be burdened further following the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The government failed in timely stockpiling of medical supplies and equipment, development of health infrastructure, including laboratories and quarantine centres, restriction and screening of international travel and information dissemination to the general public. While efforts have now been made to increase the capacity for diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2, the government still needs to further increase the availability and accessibility throughout the country. This would be the first step in fighting the pandemic. However, it is also important to prepare for the worst case. Similarly, advocacy programs should be developed to inform the general public and alleviate their fears about the disease. These measures would not only help Nepalâ€™s capability to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak but could lay the foundations to improve the health of the citizens in general, even after this epidemic is controlled and could go a long way in developing trust of the government in the populace.

Published: September 2024

The first infected case of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) in Nepal was diagnosed on 23 January, 2020 which was also the first recorded case in South Asia, but after confirmation of subsequent cases on March 23 and 24, the entire nation was put under lock down. Between January and March, the government took preventive measures by upgrading health infrastructure, setting up health desks atimportant public spaces like airports, spreading public awareness through various means, sealing off of international borders. Initially, our optimism stemmed from the slow rise in cases compared to our neighbors which delivered hope that things will be back on track soon. But with consistently escalating infection rates it was clear that we are as vulnerable to this as any other nation. For us, it reflected in thinning out of emergency and urgent cases. This was sure to have a significant impact on patientsâ€™ lives. On one hand, owing to confinement measures, to avail specialty services was becoming a challenge for them, especially those from remote, rural areas where transportation even if desired is accessible on select occasions. On the other, phobiaof coronavirus led patients to defer going to distant tertiary hospital as far as possible.

Published: September 2024

Objective: to identify modern epidemiological features of viral acute intestinal infections in children and adolescents in the Sakhalin Region.Materials and methods. Data on acute intestinal infection incidence obtained from statistical reports of the Rospotrebnadzor during 2021-2023 was compared with long-term average incidence rates calculated over the period before the COVID-19 pandemic (2010-2019) to perform epidemiological analysis. Incidence was calculated for different age groups; according to months of the year, monthly long-term average incidence rates were established. Index of seasonality, coefficient of seasonality, and index of seasonal growth were determined.Results and discussion. Manifestations of acute intestinal infections epidemic process in the Sakhalin Region indicate persisting conditions for an increase in the registration of both sporadic cases of diseases and outbreaks of infectious diarrhea. Viruses were prevailing in the structure of cases of known etiology (mainly caused by rotaviruses and noroviruses). Their intra-annual dynamics showed changes in rotavirus and norovirus infection incidence rates: a shift in periods of increased incidence, a decrease in the coefficient of seasonality, and for rotavirus infection, a decrease in the index of seasonal growth. Age-adjusted rotavirus infection incidence showed predominance of the infection among preschool-aged children; norovirus infection was frequently detected among schoolchildren and adolescents. An increase in the focality index may indicate ongoing problems in the public catering sector, non-compliance with sanitary rules and hygiene standards, and untimely detection and isolation of patients with acute intestinal infections.Conclusion. Obtained results confirm the epidemiological significance of viral gastroenteritis and the necessity of anti-epidemic measures optimization.
Cardiac arrhythmias in a patient with severe whooping cough in the first year of life (clinical case)
Authors: Chuprova S. N. , Babachenko I. V.
Published: September 2024

Whooping cough continues to lead in the group of vaccine-controlled infectious diseases. It is proved that in infants (especially in the first three months of life) patients more often endure severe forms of whooping cough with the development of complications, including apnea and pulmonary hypertension. There are few studies analyzing heart rhythm disorders in children with whooping cough and their relationship to the severity of the disease. The article presents a clinical case of a patient with severe whooping cough of the first year of life. Despite the absence of leukocytosis characteristic of severe whooping cough, the child’s condition was considered as severe due to episodes of apnea accompanied by desaturation and asystole. Detection of heart rhythm disorders in children with whooping cough is important in determining the tactics of their treatment and the need for further observation by a cardiologist.

Authors: Tumash O. L. , Sergeichik L. S.
Published: September 2024

Currently, antibiotic-associated diarrhea caused by Clostridioides difficile (Cl. difficile) is one of the problems of the health care system in many countries of the world and the main causative agent of healthcare-associated infections. The article describes a clinical case from our own practice of the occurrence of Cl. difficile associated diarrhea (CDI) in a child in the first year of life. In the described clinical case, the child developed the first episode of CDI against the background of antibiotic therapy, which, due to the inadequate duration of treatment, led to a relapse of the disease and the development of complications in the form of sepsis. Thus, with clinical case, we want to draw the attention of practitioners to the problem of CDI in young children. Currently, despite significant changes in the diagnosis of CDI, the diagnosis of CDI in young children is challenging, requiring the development of accurate diagnostic criteria for diagnosis and the definition of additional diagnostic markers to distinguish healthy carriage from disease.

Published: September 2024

The aim was to analyze the prognostic value of ventilation/ gas exchange dissociation markers to predict the treatment length in patients with the acute phase of COVID-19.Materials and methods: The analysis was performed using a database of 384 randomly selected patients from December 2021 to May 2022 with a confirmed diagnosis of the acute phase of COVID-19, aged 61±16 years. Spirometry of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) was performed on 2,2±0,2 day of hospitalization with a portable MicroRPM device (CareFusion, UK) and measurement of surrogate oxygenation index (SpO2/FiO2), ROX index (SpO2/ FiO2)/respiratory rate) was carried out in all patients. Log-regression models were used (STATISTICA 10) to determine cutoff values for these functional variables and their ability to predict the patients length of hospital stay from the date of examination (≤ 7 vs > 7 days).Results: The lowest sensitivity (SE) and specificity (SP) were shown in models using only the respiratory muscle strength markers MIP (SE=54%, SP=70%) and MEP (SE=73%, SP=47%), that were the same in the combination of MIP and MEP (SE=65%, SP=58%). The areas under ROC were equal to 0.6 in all three models. The models based on hypoxia markers had a higher classification power (AUC 0,7) compared to the previous three, and the sensitivity value was higher in the model using the ROX index (SE = 58% and SP = 78%), but the specificity was better in the surrogate oxygenation index model (SE = 48% and SP = 88%). A complex model based on a combination of the two integral hypoxia indices, as well as a diaphragm strength marker (SpO2/FiO2+MIP*ROX+MIP) had the best sensitivity (67%) and specificity (84%), and the area under ROC reached 0.8.Conclusion: Indicators of respiratory muscle strength and oxygenation are suitable markers for combined models and algorithms for predicting hospital length of stay in COVID-19 patients.

During the electrolytic production of zinc, the iron in solutions is mainly controlled by the precipitation of jarosite. This precipitate also contains valuable metals (Zn, Pb, Cu, Ag) and toxic elements (Hg, Cd, As). This study deals with the pyrometallurgical treatment of jarosite waste in order to recover the metal values and convert the waste into environmentally acceptable slag. Initially, the sample was heated to 100?C to remove moisture, and then roasted at 700?C to release some OH? and sulfate groups by thermal decomposition. The analysis of the SiO2-CaO-Fe2O3 ternary phase diagram showed that a flux containing 48% CaO and 52% SiO2 can be used to melt the roasted jarosite at 1400?C. Subsequently, tests were carried out with the reducing agent (CaSi), resulting in a mixture of slag and two metallic phases, one of which is an Fe-Si alloy and the other a Pb-rich phase containing the valuable metal Ag. Both the metallic and slag phases were characterised by chemical analysis, SEM-EDS and XRD. Additionally, the raw jarosite residue and the final slag were leached with an aqueous acetic acid solution to estimate their chemical stability. The obtained results show that the slag produced after the reduction of jarosite residue meets the environmental specifications and could be used as raw material in other industries.
Sb recovery from an As pre-removed lead anode slime using a ZnS-Na2CO3 smelting reduction

Published: September 2024

Lead anode slime is produced in large quantities during lead electrolysis, which has a high Sb content of 10-50 wt% and can be easily recycled. However, in a general alkaline pressure leaching process for pre-removal of As, Sb was partially converted to Na3SbO4 with high stability. This limited the Sb reduction and recovery in the subsequent Na2CO3 smelting reduction. Considering this fact, ZnS was creatively used as an additive in this study to destroy the stable structure of Na3SbO4 and increase Sb reduction, and meanwhile ZnS was reduced to volatile Zn (g) and recycled. In a certain range, increasing the amount of coke and ZnS increased the Sb yield, and Pb recycling could be accelerated. However, when an excessive amount of ZnS was added, the Sb compounds could be sulfurized and then combined with the generated PbS and Na2S, forming a sodium matte of Na-Pb-Sb-S. This limited the Sb reduction and reduced the Sb yield. Under the optimum conditions of a coke content of 13%, a ZnS/Sb molar ratio of 0.32, a smelting temperature of 1200 ?C and a holding time of 90 min, Sb, Pb and Zn yields of up to 94.8%, 96.1% and 98.9%, respectively, were obtained.
Comparative investigation of ultrasonic cavitation erosion for two engineering materials
Authors: Volkov-Husovic T. , Martinovic S. , Alil A. , Vlahovic M. , Dimitrijevic B. , Ivanic I. , Pavkov V.
Published: September 2024

Engineering materials are often exposed to various extremely harsh environments such as high temperatures and/or high pressure, thermal shocks, aggressive solutions, or cavitation erosion. The phenomenon of cavitation erosion is to be expected with flowing fluids where the parts of equipment include turbine blades, high-speed propellers, or pump parts. Such conditions usually cause surface degradation with defects in the form of pits and fractures, resulting in strength deterioration with a potential risk of failure, as well as shortening the lifespan of the materials requiring additional expenses for failure analysis, repair, and/or replacement of parts. This paper presents the main results of the cavitation erosion resistance study of two different engineering materials, 316L austenitic stainless steel and CuAlNi shape memory alloy (SMA). The cavitation erosion testing was carried out using an ultrasonic vibratory method with a stationary sample. The comparison of the behavior of these two materials under cavitation erosion conditions is shown based on the results of mass loss and analysis of the pits formed over time. Image analysis tools were used to quantify the surface damage levels. Detailed analyses revealed that the CuAlNi shape memory alloy (SMA) exhibited superior in terms of resistance and better behavior compared to stainless steel.
Development of a chronic stress diagnosis
Authors: Kalliomäki Jarkko , Brodda-Jansen Gunilla
Published: September 2024

This study discusses a novel diagnosis, ?stress-related exhaustion disorder?, which was introduced in Sweden in 2005. An International Classification of Diseases 10th revision (ICD-10) code, F43.8A, was specified for exhaustion disorder. Since then, there has been a remarkable increase in the number of patients diagnosed with exhaustion disorder in Sweden. The scientific basis of the diagnosis, and the putative mechanisms behind its increase, are discussed. It is hypothesized that the following factors may have promoted the increase in exhaustion disorder diagnosis: (i) the widespread perception of exhaustion disorder as a medical condition with physiological impairment of the endocrine and nervous systems, caused by external stressors; (ii) provision of healthcare resources and social insurance benefits for exhaustion disorder, without having firm evidence or guidelines on its management; of exhaustion disorder; (iii) highly inclusive diagnostic criteria for exhaustion disorder that overlap with the criteria for several other diagnoses (depression, anxiety disorders, chronic pain disorders), leading to possible bias towards exhaustion disorder diagnosis. The increase in exhaustion disorder does not necessarily reflect an increased stress-related morbidity in society. It is also important to consider factors related to the concept of stress as a disease, the availability and organization of health-care and social insurance benefits, and diagnostic bias.
Dinâmicas religiosas e políticas em Portugal
Authors: Moniz Jorge Botelho
Published: September 2024

As relações Estado-Igreja são, em qualquer local, o reflexo de anos de história e refletem não só a complexidade das diferentes interações institucionais, bem como a pressão e procura social em torno do fenómeno religioso. A Jornada Mundial da Juventude (JMJ) 2023, em Portugal, é um local privilegiado para se proceder a uma investigação sobre os contornos contemporâneos deste fenómeno. É um laboratório vivo das relações Estado-Igreja no país, permitindo examinar as novas e velhas dinâmicas religiosas e políticas, em especial com a Igreja católica. Este artigo, por meio de uma análise diacrónica dessas relações e de uma metodologia descritiva e analítica procede ao exame do modelo de separação com cooperação vigente em Portugal. Procura-se investigar em que medida o modelo de relações Estado-Igreja estabelecido foi desafiado por um contexto, como a JMJ, onde a visibilidade pública da religião provocou interações mais frequentes e uma relação dialógica mais intensa entre o secular e o religioso. Foca-se na forma como a JMJ pressionou as fronteiras deste binómio, obrigando a constantes redefinições no espaço público, e olha para o modo como isso foi recebido pelos mais altos representantes da nação, os partidos políticos e sociedade civil. Conclui-se que, embora o modelo de separação não tenha sido verdadeiramente afetado, um sistema de cooperação com uma igreja específica foi promovido pelo Estado, garantindo-lhe um lugar de destaque durante os dias da JMJ. Isso parece assegurar a estabilidade de um modelo de secularismo positivo que, no futuro, parece longe de vir a ser afetado.
Papa Francisco e a questão dos ministérios eclesiais
Authors: Pereira Anderson Costa , De Souza Ney
Published: September 2024

O papa Francisco, desde o início de seu pontificado, surpreende tanto com gestos simbólicos, quanto com expressões populares, tais como “Igreja em saída”, “pastor com cheiro das ovelhas”, “hospital de campanha”, “alzheimer espiritual” etc. A este conjunto de expressões, Francisco adicionou duas novas imagens para exemplificar nova sociedade e nova política, mas também as novas relações eclesiais que ele propõe: o poliedro e a pirâmide invertida. Enquanto o poliedro ressalta a diversidade, a pirâmide invertida coloca quem está no topo em posição de serviço e escuta do povo de Deus, procedendo, assim, uma “salutar descentralização” (EG, 16). Como assumir essa perspectiva depois de séculos em que a Igreja foi representada como uma pirâmide monárquica e hierárquica? Assim, este artigo objetiva aprofundar o sentido, significado e importância das imagens da pirâmide invertida e do poliedro na construção de uma Igreja ministerial. A relevância deste artigo consiste em apresentar a compreensão de uma Igreja toda ministerial a partir dos desdobramentos do Concílio Vaticano II, iluminando a partir das percepções do papa Francisco. Ademais, o debate sobre a questão da ministerialidade eclesial exige uma acurada reflexão teológica, pois o tema tem sido assumido como prioridade no pontificado do atual Pontífice.
milagre no pensamento Científico e Evolucionista
Authors: De Souza Josiney Alves
Published: September 2024

A subestimação das leis da natureza tem levado teístas a defenderem concepções de milagre aparentemente contraditórias. Os milagres são tradicionalmente interpretados como eventos que suspendem as leis naturais, destoando do ponto de vista científico predominante, e oscilando nas cosmovisões leibniziana e newtoniana. Mas a teologia cristã moderna tem repensado seus conceitos em vista da afirmativa científica da inexorabilidade das leis físicas, químicas e biológicas. O presente artigo discute o conceito de milagre em vista do pensamento científico e evolucionista. Uma reflexão sobre intervenção divina é apresentada em harmonia com a confirmação bíblica da inviolabilidade das leis da natureza, possibilitando uma conciliação das acepções distintas de milagre.

Este artigo discorre sobre um fragmento da ontologia do cinema cavelliana proposta em The world viewed. A primeira seção tenta desvendar a significação da recorrente imagem da lua nas obras de Cavell, tanto em seus escritos epistemológicos quanto aqueles acerca do cinema, obras que são, em certa medida, indissociáveis. Desemboca-se, na segunda seção, na importância do automatismo fotográfico e da influência de André Bazin para a teoria ontológica de Cavell. Por fim, conclui-se as ideias levantadas com uma breve leitura de Viagem à lua, o mais célebre dos filmes de Georges Méliès.
Animal que nos olha
Authors: Cavalcante Guilherme Silva
Published: September 2024

O artigo aproxima duas produções cinematográficas, Au hasard Balthazar (1966), de Robert Bresson, e EO (2022), de Jerzy Skolimowski, a partir da possível influência que a primeira obra contém na segunda. Ambos os filmes cruzam-se devido à proposta de centralizar um animal, precisamente um burro, como protagonista das narrativas, que recebem a capacidade de enfrentar tanto a fábula em si quanto os espectadores. O contato entre animal e audiência, intermediado pelas propostas de ambos os diretores, abre espaço para debates filosóficos de Berger (1980) e Derrida (2002), nos quais a definição do que é o indivíduo moderno é suscitada a partir do olhar de um outro, uma alteridade limite: o animal. Além disso, será estudado como os filmes contribuem para o tensionamento entre a linha que separa a natureza humana do mundo animalizado, assim como a capacidade da experiência estética do cinema de borrá-la.

Published: September 2024

Este estudo tem como objetivo desenvolver tábuas de mortalidade de válidos segmentadas por sexo para os servidores públicos do Regime Próprio de Previdência Social (RPPS) do estado do Ceará. Utilizaram-se dados do registro administrativo do período de 2013 a 2017, referentes aos servidores públicos civis vinculados ao Poder Executivo estadual. A metodologia incluiu a análise de consistência dos dados, o cálculo das probabilidades de morte e ajuste com uma variante do modelo relacional TOPALS. As tábuas de mortalidade masculina e feminina estimadas mostraram-se mais eficazes na previsão da mortalidade dos segurados do RPPS estadual em comparação com outras tábuas de mortalidade. Além disso, a esperança de vida dos segurados do RPPS estadual, em geral, mostrou-se mais elevada do que a da população nacional, com diferenças superiores a 10% aos 60 anos de idade.
Arqueología de lo político: bíos, tekné, stásis
Authors: Apablaza Iván Torres
Published: September 2024

El siguiente artículo desarrolla una interrogación filosófica sobre lo político a partir de una problematización arqueológica que permite precisar su carácter histórico y discursivo. El emplazamiento de esta pregunta, muestra la constitución y despliegue de lo político en torno a tres arcanos que entrelazan una definición antropológica de la vida (bíos), una modulación técnica (tekné) que prescribe su carácter oikonómico, y un conjunto de relaciones de fuerzas adversariales que definen su procedencia belicosa (stásis). El artículo finaliza con una serie de contrapuntos que permiten poner en perspectiva esta arqueología frente a la crisis y extenuación contemporánea de la política, al haber intensificado su sentido antropológico como voluntad de poder sobre la existencia planetaria.
Corpos de cuidado: a leitura foucaultiana do corpo na antiguidade grega
Authors: Bagiotto Botton Viviane
Published: September 2024

Como Foucault pensou o corpo no contexto de seus trabalhos? Esta pergunta rege a pesquisa na qual este texto é parte, sendo que aqui apresentam-se algumas de suas elaborações em relação ao corpo no contexto de seus estudos sobre a antiguidade grega, em especial sobre a relação deste com a formação de uma subjetividade não pautada pela verdade de si. Mais especificamente o que trazemos é uma elucidação do princípio grego do cuidado de si, o contraste deste com o princípio socrático do conhece-te a ti mesmo, e alguns aspectos desta relação com o corpo, como o uso dos prazeres e a formação de uma espécie de subjetividade neste contexto da antiguidade ocidental.

Dessa maneira destaca-se um possível aspecto das problemáticas do escolher e do deixar de lado a partir da perspectiva dos próprios percursos e procedimentos foucaultianos.
lenguaje como gramática universal. El trazado de Foucault desde el momento de Sócrates, de Descartes hasta la desaparición del Hombre
Authors: Sánchez Cecilia
Published: September 2024

El artículo aborda la concepción representativa de la gramática universal asociada al “momento cartesiano” de un orden sintáctico. Bajo la noción representacional del lenguaje, Foucault intenta dar cuenta del modo en que el sujeto moderno cree en la ficción de un acceso directo a la verdad, cuya genealogía proviene del conócete a ti mismo socrático.  En esta genealogía, el trazado filosófico entre sujeto, verdad y lenguaje comienza  con Sócrates, se detiene en Descartes, hasta llegar  al lenguaje de la dispersión,  según define  al momento en que la lingüística y el psicoanálisis  comienzan a deshacerse del hombre y de su gramática universal.

Published: September 2024

Comumente as reflexões acerca da morte estão associadas a um antagonismo entre a vida e a morte e à compreensão isolada de diferentes áreas. Este artigo pretende pensar sobre o fenômeno social da morte a partir da Filosofia da Saúde. Para refletir sobre os aspectos sociológicos da morte, fizemos referência à obra A solidão dos moribundos, seguido de Envelhecer e Morrer, de Norbert Elias, que evidencia a institucionalização da morte e suas consequências para sua percepção como parte da vida.. Para subsidiar a reflexão filosófica, nos baseamos na obra Ecce homo do filósofo Friedrich Nietzsche, em que faz uma releitura sobre si  mesmo, de como conviveu com a sua doença e tomou para si a sua cura, nos permitindo pensar na saúde, na doença e na morte como parte da vida. Considerando que o domínio da investigação do tema da morte e do morrer é vasto e multidisciplinar, a Sociologia e a Filosofia contribuem, cada qual com a sua especificidade para compreendermos esse processo e podem abrir um caminho dentro do âmbito da saúde,a partir de uma Filosofia da Saúde que, ao pensar as ciências da saúde e as práticas de seus profissionais, pressuponha a transdisciplinaridade.

Published: September 2024

Este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a deficiência, e os autismos em particular, analisando como esses temas foram historicamente percebidos e julgados. O objetivo é buscar uma nova compreensão necessária para a atenção, cuidado e assistência à saúde das pessoas com deficiência, especialmente diante das possibilidades trazidas pelos avanços biotecnológicos. O texto contextualiza a deficiência, oferecendo uma crítica aos conceitos de normal, anormal e patológico em diálogo com a literatura. A partir de uma filosofia da saúde, o artigo reflete sobre genética, biotecnologias e conceitos em saúde. Conclui-se que a filosofia da saúde, em interação com outras áreas do conhecimento, pode enriquecer a reflexão sobre a deficiência e os autismos, questionando o que nos define como seres humanos e fundamentando ações de saúde inclusivas para pessoas com deficiência, possibilitando assim o seu pertencimento.

O presente artigo versa sobre uma experiência com um grupo de jovens com doenças crônicas, no âmbito da reumatologia pediátrica, coordenada por duas pesquisadoras, ancoradas em dois campos de saber: a Filosofia da Saúde e a Psicanálise Lacaniana. O ponto de encontro entre os dois campos de saber ocorreu em virtude da afinidade na posição discursiva em relação à dor, ao sofrimento e à morte como elementos inerentes à condição humana, portanto impossíveis de serem eliminados da experiência do ser humano por qualquer saber e tecnologia. Questões humanas de cunho existencial foram trabalhadas em grupo, por meio de textos literário-filosóficos que possibilitaram a fala e a troca entre as participantes, o emergir de suas subjetividades, a construção de um tecido simbólico, permitindo ao grupo cerzir algo no vazio de sentido que emergiu a partir do adoecimento e que, ao longo dos encontros, apareceu nos relatos das jovens.
Desfazer os “casos”
Authors: Brugère Fabienne , De Lima Francisco Alessandro
Published: September 2024

Berthe Morisot é apresentada neste artigo como uma das figuras mais fundamentais do Impressionismo, não por figurar como femme fatale em quadros de sua época, sobretudo naqueles de Édouard Manet, mas em razão da importância de sua pintura para o Impressionismo e de seu diálogo com os demais pintores desse movimento. A abordagem parte do estudo do “caso” Manet, ao retomar passagens de Bataille, Foucault, Bourdieu e Michael Fried a fim de desconstruí-las, reapresentando Morisot a partir do modo como contribui à emergência do Impressionismo: o ar livre, a vibração das cores, a impossível fixação do presente e o non finito não mais definem um estilo e devem ser reinterpretados. Nessa reinterpretação, que é igualmente reparação com relação a Morisot, as divisões entre feminino e masculino, social e íntimo e entre o que é e o que não é arte são embaralhadas.

Objectives: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) emerged as a global health concern in 2020, ranking as the sixth most diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related death. This study analyzed predictors of 6-month relapse in early-stage HCC patients after Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA). Methods: This retrospective study, from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2022, meticulously explored ablation methods for early-stage HCC treatment. Data collection included a 6-month relapse definition, demographic details, and tumor-related variables. Results: Over five years, 483 participants underwent RFA for early-stage HCC, presenting diverse demographic and tumor-related profiles. Significant associations were found between relapse and factors such as gender, smoking, alcohol use, tumor size, specific tumor locations, and pre-treatment AST levels. Notably, 6.8% of participants experienced relapse within six months. In the multivariate analysis, adjusting for confounders, smoking (p = 0.014), tumor size > 3cm (p < 0.001), tumor location S2 (p < 0.001), and pre-treatment AST levels (p = 0.015) remained significant predictors. Conclusion: This study sheds light on the complex dynamics of 6-month relapse in early-stage HCC patients, emphasizing the significance of predictors such as smoking, tumor size, tumor location, and pre-treatment AST levels.

A statistical assessment of healthcare and fertility rates in Saudi Arabia for 2022
Authors: Mahgoub Ayman , Alam Teg
Published: September 2024

An exhaustive analysis and evaluation of fertility indicators in a society including many ethnic groups might provide valuable insights into any discrepancies. This study aims to systematically analyse the fertility rates over specific periods and investigate the differences in levels and patterns between local and expatriate women in Saudi Arabia using the existing data. This analysis used data from credible sources published by the General Authority for Statistics in the Saudi census 2022. The calculation of period fertility indicators started with the most straightforward rates and advanced to more complex ones, followed by a comprehensive description of the advantages and disadvantages of each. The aim was to ascertain fluctuations in fertility rates and analyse temporal patterns. Multiple studies consistently show that the fertility rate among expats in Saudi Arabia is lower than that among Saudi native women. However, the reason for this discrepancy still needs to be discovered since the definitive effect of contraceptive techniques has yet to be confirmed. Moreover, the reproductive trends that have occurred since the early 1980s will persist, although with additional precautions in place.

Entrepreneurial intentions, considered to be the best predictor of entrepreneurial behaviour, have attracted extensive attention among academics, practitioners, and policymakers. This study examines the mediating role of the theory of planned behaviour between university students’ proactive personality, entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial opportunities, and entrepreneurial intentions. The results of this study showed that both attitudes toward entrepreneurship and perceived behavioural control mediated these relationships, except that perceived behavioural control did not mediate the effect of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intentions, and subject norm did not mediate any relationship. Lastly, this study guides universities, policymakers and practitioners to fully focus on developing attitude entrepreneurship and perceived behaviour control through education and training among graduates and employees. Suppose there is a presence of good entrepreneurial opportunities. In that case, they will form stronger intentions to start new businesses and expand their businesses to drive socio-economic growth, innovation and job creation among graduates.
Developing a 3-statement operating and financial performance model for truck and rail infrastructure business: A case study of a model with automated retirement/reinvestment schedule
Authors: Artemenkov Andrey , Ganiev Omonjon , Milgrim Michael
Published: September 2024

This financial modelling case study describes the development of the 3-statement financial model for a large-scale transportation infrastructure business dealing with truck (and some rail) modalities. The financial modelling challenges in this area, especially for large-scale transport infrastructure operators, lie in automatically linking the operating activity volumes with the investment volumes. The aim of the paper is to address these challenges: The proposed model has an innovative retirement/reinvestment schedule that automates the estimation of the investment needs for the Business based on the designated age-cohort matrix analysis and controlling for the maximum service ceiling for trucks as well as the possibility of truck retirements due to the reduced scope of tracking operations in the future. The investment schedule thus automated has a few calibrating parameters that help match it to the current stock of trucks/rolling stock in the fleet, making it to be a flexible tool in financial modelling for diverse transport infrastructure enterprises employing truck, bus and/or rail fleets for the carriage of bulk cargo quantifiable by weight (or fare-paying passengers) on a network of set, but modifiable, routes.
