Aperto per chi? Il valore della scienza aperta
Authors: Galimberti Paola
Published: June 2023

Ci troviamo in un’epoca di grandi mutamenti e di veloce evoluzione della comunicazione scientifica. Alla chiusura e inaccessibilità di testi, dati e processi di qualità si sostituisce la richiesta corale di trasparenza, equità e democraticità. All’idea di una scienza competitiva ed esclusiva si sostituisce quella di una scienza collaborativa in cui la condivisione dei risultati è il valore fondante e punto di forza per un più veloce sviluppo. Cambia e viene messo in discussione il ruolo degli editori commerciali che devono reinventarsi in questo nuovo contesto, cambiano gli equilibri di potere fra editor, revisori ed autori. Gli strumenti per rispondere a questa richiesta corale di trasparenza sono tutti a nostra disposizione, ma ancora da parte delle comunità scientifiche si avverte qualche difficoltà a recepire le nuove modalità di pratica, validazione e disseminazione della ricerca. Ancora si assiste a una certa diffidenza e forse sgomento di fronte ai pubblici possibili e ad un ciclo di vita delle ricerche che è potenzialmente infinito.
Sulle spalle dei giganti, citava Newton. E ciò è soprattutto vero se vengono eliminate le barriere economiche e legali che hanno fino ad ora rappresentato un ostacolo, o per lo meno un rallentamento per lo sviluppo della ricerca scientifica.
"Doctor Virtualis" è una rivista umanistica, di settore, che ha abbracciato in tempi piuttosto lontani la filosofia dell’apertura promossa dall’ateneo che oggi si è rivelata vincente. La sua storia è la storia della piattaforma di riviste che la ospita alla quale la rivista ha aderito fin dal primo anno.
 
We are in an era of rapid evolution of scholarly communication. The inaccessibility of quality texts, data, and processes is being replaced by a choral demand for transparency, equity, and democraticity. The idea of a competitive and exclusive science is replaced by that of a collaborative science in which the sharing of results is the founding value and strength for faster development. The role of commercial publishers who must reinvent themselves in this new context changes and is challenged; the balance of power between editors, reviewers and authors changes. The tools for responding to this choral demand for transparency are all at our disposal, but still from the scientific communities there is some difficulty in taking on board the new ways of practicing, validating and disseminating research. There is still some distrust and perhaps dismay in front of possible audiences and a research life cycle that is potentially never-ending.
On the shoulders of giants, Newton quoted. And this is especially true if the economic and legal barriers that have hitherto been an obstacle, or at least a slowdown to the development of scientific research are removed.
Doctor Virtualis is a humanistic journal that embraced in rather distant times the philosophy of openness promoted by the university that has proved successful today. Its story is the story of the journal platform that hosts it to which the journal has joined since its first year.
Giustizia: fra analogia e univocità. Da Tommaso d’Aquino a Tommaso De Vio
Authors: Lázaro Nicolás
Published: June 2023

Il presente contributo indaga la trasformazione della definizione di “giustizia” da Tommaso d’Aquino (analogica) a Tommaso De Vio (univoca). Esaminando la connessione fra logica e filosofia morale si considera il tema della virtù e l‘interpretazione del pensiero dell’Angelico da parte del Gaetano.
Si intende approfondire il rapporto fra la giustizia e il bene comune attraverso l’uso dell’analogia (Tommaso) o in altri termini (Gaetano). Il lavoro fa riferimento anche alla tesi di S. Hofstadter, secondo cui l’analogia è quasi un a priori cognitivo con cui l’uomo concettualizza il mondo e progredisce nella conoscenza, tenendo presente il ruolo fondamentale che l’analogia svolge nella filosofia e nella teologia del Gaetano.
Partendo dal presupposto che la nozione analogica di giustizia esprima più chiaramente il pensiero dell’Angelico sul rapporto con il bene comune, si osserva che il Gaetano fa uso di uno strumento diverso, interpretando la stessa virtù secondo una concettualizzazione di carattere univoco. E ciò, precisamente, per il suo modo di concepire l’analogia.
Appaiono, quindi, due nozioni di giustizia in relazione al bene comune e a tutte le altre virtù morali. Come influisce tutto ciò sul discorso etico e sulla riflessione politica? Qual è il rapporto con la suprema potestas, il governo ecc.? Emergono chiaramente due diversi modi di argomentare e di rappresentare il mondo e le sue relazioni, cioè di costruire percorsi diversi sulla base dello stesso oggetto di studio.
 
This paper investigates the definition of “justice” and its transformation, from Aquinas (analogical) to Cajetan (univocal). Through the commentaries of Cajetan to the S. Th., this contribution also deeps into the connection between Logic and Moral Philosophy.
We intend to deepen the relationship between justice and the common good using the analogy (Aquinas) or not (Cajetan). This work also refers to the thesis of S. Hofstadter according to which the analogy is almost a cognitive a priori with which man conceptualizes the world and progresses in knowledge, bearing in mind the role that analogy played in Cajetan’s thought.
If the analogical notion of justice renders much better the teaching of Aquinas, it is observed that Cajetan interpretates the same virtue according to univocity, because of his previous conception of the analogy.
Therefore, we have two notions of “justice” related to the common good and the rest of the moral virtues. How could this affect the Ethics and the political reflections? What is the relationship between the suprema potestas, the government, etc.? Again, we have now two different ways of arguing and representing the world and its relations.
L'analogia e lo sviluppo della teologia cattolica in Hans Urs Von Balthasar
Authors: Martínez Endika
Published: June 2023

Il seguente saggio è un'interpretazione speculativa di Padri, scolastici e noi stessi di Hans Urs von Balthasar. L'articolo propone che l'analogia possa essere usata per comprendere le somiglianze e le differenze tra stili teologici in epoche diverse. L'analogia può essere uno strumento euristico per riconoscere la forma strutturale che rimane coerente attraverso i secoli, nonostante le espressioni singole di questa forma secondo la situazione concreta e storica delle persone a cui si rivolge il messaggio del Vangelo. Per affermare ciò, questo saggio traccia un confronto tra il modo in cui si sviluppano la teologia e la dottrina Cattolica. In entrambi i casi, troviamo un paradigma di omogeneità sostanziale all'interno di una differenza proposizionale o stilistica. La differenza non esclude l'unità in un ordine superiore. Diversi stili in teologia sono analogicamente uniti nella forma strutturale generale e immutabile della verità rivelata in Cristo.
 
The following essay is a tentative interpretation of Hans Urs von Balthasar’s Fathers, Scholastics and Ourselves. It proposes that analogy can be used to understand the similarities and differences between theological styles in different epochs. It can be a heuristic tool to recognize the structural form that remains consistent throughout the ages, despite the unique expressions of this form according to the concrete and historical situation of the people being addressed by the message of the Gospel. This essay draws a comparison between the way Catholic theology and doctrine develop. In both cases, we find a paradigm of substantial homogeneity within a propositional or stylistic difference. The difference does not rule out a unity in a higher order. Different styles in theology are analogically united in an overarching and unchanging form of the truth revealed in Christ.
Analogia e dimostrazione. Sviluppi nella tradizione medievale degli Analitici secondi
Authors: Corbini Amos
Published: June 2023

L’articolo analizza il problema dei nessi predicativi analogici nella teoria della dimostrazione di Aristotele, dove essi sono marginali, e i suoi sviluppi nella tradizione esegetica medievale latina del XIII secolo.

Grossatesta sostiene che la dimostrazione può provare predicati detti analogicamente di soggetti diversi; Kilwardby e dopo di lui ancor più Egidio Romano mostrano che tale scopo è da raggiungere anche attraverso un termine medio connesso analogicamente ai termini estremi. Inoltre, Egidio sostiene in un passo l’esistenza di un ordinamento gerarchico tra le proprietà dimostrate per analogia, ma altrove mostra invece che esse si configurano più variamente.

Nel XIV secolo, Giovanni Buridano riprende i tratti fondamentali di queste interpretazioni, nel quadro di un generale allargamento dei caratteri della scienza aristotelica del quale, forse, le idee sull’analogia potrebbero rappresentare uno stadio iniziale.

 

The paper deals with the problem of predicative analogical connections in the Aristotelian theory of demonstration, where they are marginal, and with its developments in the thirteenth-century medieval latin exegetical tradition.

Grosseteste claims that demonstration can prove predicates that are said analogically of different subjects; Kilwardby and, after him, even more Giles of Rome show that this aim can be reached also through a medium analogically connected to the extreme terms. Giles upholds in a passage the existence of a gerarchical order among properties analogically demonstrated; somewhere else, however, he shows that they can configure more variously.

In the following century, John Buridan resumes the basic lines of those interpretations, in the framework of a general widening of the features of Aristotelian science; maybe, his ideas on analogy could represent an initial stage of this tendence.
Macchine per analogie. Note sul trattamento automatico dell’analogia
Authors: Ferrara Alfio , Parodi Massimo , Salvestrini Amalia
Published: June 2023

Il presente articolo intende riflettere su come l’analogia sia intesa e trattata dalla classe di metodi formali di trattamento dell’informazione che si occupano di analizzare il testo scritto. In particolare, si considera come si possano costruire macchine che “comprendono” le analogie. A tal fine ci si avvarrà di esemplificazioni tratte dal De Civitate Dei di Agostino d’Ippona. Le prime indagini compiute su tale corpus, seppure limitato, conducono a riflettere sulla portata teorica e storiografica del trattamento automatico dell’analogia anche nel formulare o avvalorare ipotesi interpretative.
 
This article aims to reflect on how analogy is understood and treated by the class of formal information processing methods that deal with analysing written text. In particular, we consider how machines that ‘understand’ analogies can be constructed. For this purpose, exemplifications from Augustine of Hippo’s De Civitate Dei will be used. The initial investigations carried out on this corpus, albeit limited, lead one to reflect on the theoretical and historiographical significance of the automatic treatment of analogy also in formulating or supporting interpretative hypotheses.

Injuries to immature permanent teeth may cause pulp necrosis. Conventional treatment for such teeth is root canal treatment and apexification, but recently a new treatment option of revascularization has been introduced, also known as regenerative endodontic treatment. This study compared the treatment outcome of apexification and pulp revascularization in immature necrotic teeth. All the patients were treated, and data were acquired from the dental outpatient department of Shahida Islam Medical and Dental College, Lodhran, between November 15, 2021, to November 14, 2022, duration. To complete this research, Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial was used as a study design to collect the patients, later divided into two groups. Means age of all the patients in this study was 11.41 ± 4.20 years; the mean age of the patients in Group A=11.50 ± 4.24 years and Group B=11.32 ± 4.26 years. The success rate in Group A= 60 (87.32%) was lower than that of Group B= 67 (97.04%). The results of this study revealed that pulp revascularization has a higher success rate than apexification by mineral trioxide aggregate.

Diagnostic, Therapeutic and Prognostic Implications of Urothelial Carcinoma, A Review
Authors: Shahzad Muhammad , Nasir Jamil Muhammad , Ashraf Hamza , Ul Islam Ehsan
Published: June 2023

Urothelial carcinomas are cancerous tumors that can affect both the lower and upper urinary system and develop from the urothelial epithelium. The majority of urinary tract cancers (90–95%) are bladder tumors. UTUCs are rare, making up just 5–10% of UCs and their annual prevalence in Western nations is thought to be close to two instances per 100,000 people. This review of the article gives a general overview of the introduction, classification, diagnostic and therapeutic importance of urothelial carcinoma. About 48 recent publications, suitable for literature review, were retrieved from three different databases: PubMed, Sci. hub, and Google scholar. Careful reading and analysis of the literature review was carried out using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Despite significant improvements in prognosis and treatment, such as surgical methods, different adjuvant therapies, radical cystectomy, and robot-assisted radical cystectomy, tumors still recur with a dismal 5-year survival rate, making the addition of novel target-based therapies necessary to improve the overall outcome. Future treatments targeting genomic changes and the immune system should be tailored to each person's molecular profile. The majority of cases of urothelial carcinoma have been linked to numerous risk factors. For individuals with metastatic urothelial cancer, which includes bladder cancer and cancers of the upper urinary tract and urethra, numerous therapy options have been made available recently. These include targeted therapies and immunotherapy. This review recommended the possible way for diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic implications of urothelial carcinoma.

THE RIGHT WAY TO PREACH ISLAM: THE CASE OF ALBANIA
Authors: Skura Hysni
Published: June 2023

This paper explores the topic of preaching Islam in Albania, with a focus on the right way to do so. The study argues that religion is a set of principles sent by God to guide humanity towards happiness in this world and the next, and that a religion which does not produce results that enable man to become smarter leads to the loss of life values. Therefore, the preservation of faith, life, wealth, offspring and mind are the main objectives of religion. The study highlights that in the face of negative portrayals of Islam in the media, it is the duty of Muslim preachers to communicate the truth and inform their congregation about the true principles of Islam. The study uses Imam Ash-Shatibi's work to argue that the basic pillar of religion is the benefit of this life and the next, and therefore the study provides important insights into the role of preaching in contemporary society. The findings of this study have implications for the way in which Islam is practiced and preached in Albania and provide important guidance for those who wish to promote a positive and accurate understanding of Islam in the world today.

Comparison Analysis of Accounting Standards for Entities Without Public Accountability and Financial Standards for Private Entities of SMEs in Indonesia
Authors: Iluwati Jennifer , Sherly Sherly , Febriana Helen
Published: June 2023

IFRS SME establishes standards that serve as recommendations for preparing financial reports for small and medium-sized businesses. SME IFRS originates from all IFRS simplifications intended to simplify financial reporting and cost-benefit analysis for SME clients. The Financial Accounting Standards for Organizations Without Public Accountability (SAK ETAP), established on May 19, 2009, continues to oversee private businesses' financial accounts. However, SAK ETAP does not give advice to private firms on the explanation of gross revenue that is directly relevant to taxes determination. As a consequence, Indonesia has established a new SAK for private firms known as the SAK EP. The use of SAK EP in the preparation of financial statements for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSME) can simplify the use of international accounting standards, lowering the higher costs associated with full IFRS implementation and the emergence of numerous new accounts and changes in financial statement presentation. New accounts include accounts for current tax, deferred tax, employee benefit duties, and post-employment benefit liabilities, as well as revised accounts for accruing costs, equity, and comprehensive income (expenses).

Political involvement, namely community activity in influencing the methods of preparing and implementing public policies, as well as participating in choosing government leaders. Social media is widely used as a place to engage in political activities. This study aims to examine the quality of social media information, social media reputation, trust, use of social media, and millennial political involvement. The instrument of this research is using a questionnaire created using a Google form that is distributed online. The respondents of this study are millennials. This study contributes to the inconsistency test between social media information quality variables and political involvement. The results of the study prove that there is an influence between the variables use of social media and political involvement. This study also concluded that most of the millennial generation use social media for 3 hours/day to seek information and communicate. Finally, this research can find that the use of social media affects political involvement.
Detection of bacterial co-infection in patients with severe influenza
Authors: Unver Tuba
Published: June 2023

Viral infections engender bacterial colonization in the host by causing alteration in the innate immune response to common bacterial pathogens. These alterations may lead to severe bacterial pneumonia during influenza. Bacterial co-infection is common in influenza pneumonia and increases morbidity and mortality. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, research in viral diseases has intensified. With this study, it can be thought that bacterial colonization may also support viral activity in the human body. This study sought to investigate bacterial co-infection in respiratory specimens using samples from the Australian influenza epidemic of 2009 as a model for analysis. Furthermore, it was thought that this study could shed light on bacterial co-infection studies in patients with COVID-19, which caused the current pandemic. 200 clinical specimens were extracted for isolation of genomic DNA and directly tested in a multiplexed quantitative PCR. Multiplex-tandem PCR (MT-PCR) assay based on 16S rRNA consensus sequence of a family (Enterobacteriaceae species) and four genera (Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., and Pseudomonas spp.) was performed. According to MT-PCR results, respiratory tract samples showed a very high rate of bacterial identification (163/200-81.5%), and Enterococci were commonly found as the dominant genus identified in influenza patients. In a total of 200 putative co-infection samples, Enterococcus spp. was apparently present in 139 samples (69.5%), being the dominant signal (any other signal was ≤10%) from 106 samples. Streptococcus spp. was next most commonly indicated with 137 positive results (68.5%), but was the dominant signal in 19 of 137. It was determined that bacterial co-infection was high in the samples taken from patients with severe influenza, and Enterococcus was the dominant bacteria in the upper respiratory tract of patients treated for severe pneumonia, while Streptococcus was more dominant in the lower respiratory tracts than the other species.

It is claimed that Morton Neuroma (MN) is symptomatic if it is greater than 5mm. In contrast, significant amounts of Morton neuroma that do not reach this critical level may become symptomatic. Therefore, it is thought that MN size and intensity of symptoms do not show a positive correlation. Twenty patients who were operated at Medipol University School of Medicine between 2015-2019 for the diagnosis of Morton neuroma and whose disease was diagnosed as Morton Neuroma by MRI and pathological evaluation and were evaluated retrospectively. Pathological tissue size measurements and MRI measurements were compared. The mean age of the operated patients was 47, 14 were female and 6 were male. The average of the pathological tissue dimensions after the measurements was 16,6 mm. The average of the radiological image dimensions after the measurements was 8,5 mm. The pathologic dimension was significantly higher (p<0.05) than the radiological dimension. After comparative measurements of MR images and pathological dimensions of Morton Neuroma, it was determined that there was a difference between them. Therefore, the surgical treatment option should not be determined according to the severity of clinical symptoms rather than size.

Published: June 2023

Primary aim of this study to evaluate the functional results and complications of the patients aged 70 and over whom are treated with proximal femoral nail (PFN) because of hip fracture. 128 patients out of 223 patients were included in the study, who were aged 70 and over, to whom treated with proximal femoral nail because of hip fracture in our clinic between 2006 and 2014. Since 26 of these 128 patients who were included in this study passed away before the follow up period of 1 year, they were excluded from the study. Fractures were evaluated by AO/OTA classification. Their Singh index and morphological cortical indexes were calculated from the pre-surgery radiographies. The functional situations of the patients were evaluated by Harris hip score. Average age of the evaluated 102 patients was 81.13 (70-98), 44 of them were male, 58 of them were female. According to AO/OTA fracture classification 48 of them were 31-A1, 25 of them were 31-A2, 29 of them were 31-A3. 54 fractures were on the left hip, 48 fractures were on the right hip. Average Singh index was 2.72 (1-5), average morphological cortical index was 2.94 (2.1-3.7), average Harris hip score was 74.3 (49-88). 4 patients have had complications after surgery and revised with other treatment modalities. Since the functional results are on a satisfactory level, in our opinion as well, proximal femoral nail should be considered among the surgical treatments in the elderly patients with hip fracture.

Asthma is a disease characterized by the narrowing of the airways and resulting shortness of breath. Anxiety is a condition that is frequently observed in patients with asthma and causes worsening of symptoms. Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has influenced the mental health of many individuals. ‘The aim of this study is to determine the anxiety levels of asthma patients during the pandemic period and to reveal the contribution of these patients' metacognition to anxiety’. This study was planned retrospectively Twenty-eight asthma patients were evaluated for asthmatic symptoms and anxiety levels. before the COVID-19 pandemic and 28 healthy controls were included. During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients were re-evaluated for asthmatic symptoms and anxiety levels. The Asthma Control Test (ACT), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Metacognition Scale-30 (MCS) were applied to all participants to evaluate levels of asthmatic symptoms, anxiety and metacognitive beliefs. During the pandemic, while patients’ ACT scores increased significantly (p=0.011), the BAI score decreased significantly (p=0.039), compared to the pre-pandemic values. BAI score was negatively correlated with pre- and post-pandemic ACT scores (p=0.029, p=0.006, respectively). During the pandemic, patients' BAI score and "need to control thoughts" subscale score of MCS-30 were found significantly higher than those of controls (p=0.003). Additionally, patients’ anxiety levels during the pandemic were correlated with the metacognitive scale score (p=0.036). Asthma symptoms were observed to remit, and anxiety levels to decrease during the pandemic in asthma patients, compared to the pre-pandemic values. Patients’ anxiety levels during the pandemic were found higher than those of controls. Therefore, we consider that current anxiety is related to metacognitive beliefs, and our study findings are important in terms of understanding anxiety developing in asthma patients during the pandemic and reflecting the findings to psychotherapeutic modalities.
Relationship of the emergency department presentation frequency of patients using methamphetamine with the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Cakmak Fatma
Published: June 2023

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the emergency department (ED) presentation frequency of patients using methamphetamine in pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 pandemic periods. According to their presentation period, the patients were evaluated in two groups as pre-pandemic and pandemic. The frequency of presentation and demographic characteristics of the patients were compared according to the periods. The study included a total of 620 patients, including 500 patients that presented to ED during the pre-pandemic period and 120 during the pandemic period. When the rates of ED presentation were compared between the two periods, there was a decrease of 76% in the pandemic period. These results suggest that the rate of the use of addictive substances can be reduced by taking public health measures.
