Emoções e construção social:
Authors: Nogueira de Carvalho Felipe , Ramos Ferreira Sabrina Balthazar
Published: December 2023

Na década de 1980, um programa de pesquisa se popularizou no campo da filosofia e psicologia das emoções. Esse programa, denominado construcionismo social, afirmava que emoções eram produtos de fatores sociais e não poderiam ser compreendidas em um vocabulário adaptacionista. No entanto, ao longo do tempo essas teorias perderam grande parte de sua força e popularidade, e praticamente desapareceram da filosofia das emoções contemporânea. O objetivo do presente artigo será diagnosticar esse predicamento, e perguntar se o construcionismo social ainda poderia ser uma via teórica interessante para o estudo das emoções. Para isso, iremos clarificar o significado da metáfora da “construção” e examinar algumas das principais teorias construcionistas de emoções. Embora nossas conclusões sejam negativas em relação ao rótulo da construção social, elas podem ainda assim trazer algum alívio para aqueles que se simpatizam com suas pretensões teóricas, prescrições metodológicas e foco de análise.

Authors: Velarde-Acosta Kevin , Medina-Maguiña José M. , Anicama Lima William Efraín , Baltodano-Arellano Roberto
Published: December 2023

Non-valvular Infective endocarditis (IE) is exceedingly rare; however, its incidence has risen in tandem with the increased usage of intracardiac devices and the growing prevalence of risk factors associated with IE. We present a clinical case involving an 18-year-old patient with IE occurring at an atypical location, concomitant with central venous catheter bloodstream infection. The patient underwent targeted antibiotic therapy but ultimately required surgical resection of the vegetation due to multiple risk factors associated with a poor prognosis. This case underscores the importance of maintaining a low threshold of suspicion for IE and emphasizes the need for heightened vigilance regarding non-valvular tissues hosting foreign bodies. These less common locations pose a risk for vegetation development. Additionally, we underscore the pivotal role of 3D echocardiography tools in anatomically characterizing the vegetation, including dimensions, implantation area, and related anatomy. These tools provide realistic images that facilitate informed decision-making. Furthermore, the timely selection of surgical intervention in patients at elevated risk of therapeutic failure is a cornerstone in effective management.

В статье рассмотрены актуальные практические вопросы в области социально-экономического развития органов местного самоуправления в городах федерального значения на примере Санкт-Петербурга, в том числе в связи с их вхождением в единую систему публичной власти в Российской Федерации. Важную роль в данном вопросе играет и законодательная составляющая, которая придаёт городам федерального значения особый статус, что обуславливает особенности формирования вопросов и полномочий местного самоуправления, способствующих решению социально-экономических вопросов в обществе. Возникающие проблемы появились и в связи с кассационным определением Верховного суда РФ, а также подготовкой и рассмотрением проекта Федерального закона № 40361-8 «Об общих принципах организации местного самоуправления в единой системе публичной власти». Отражённые авторские предложения достаточно современны и актуальны, позволяют разрешить сложившихся проблемы и противоречия в части социально-экономического развития системы местного самоуправления в городах федерального значения на примере Санкт-Петербурга.

The article deals with topical practical issues in the field of socio-economic development of local self-government bodies in federal cities on the example of Saint-Petersburg, including in connection with their entry into the unified system of public power in the Russian Federation. An important role in this issue is also played by the legislative component, which gives cities of federal significance a special status, which determines the peculiarities of the formation of issues of local importance and the powers of local self-government bodies that contribute to the solution of socio-economic issues in society. The identified existing problems arose in connection with the cassation ruling of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, as well as the preparation and consideration of the draft Federal Law № 40361-8 “On the general principles of the organization of local self-government in a unified system of public authority.” The author suggests modern topical approaches to solving the existing problems and contradictions in terms of the socio-economic development of the local government system in federal cities on the example of Saint-Petersburg.

БРИКС объединяет в себе пять развивающихся экономик, на долю которых приходится около четверти мирового ВВП, 18 процентов торговли товарами и 25 процентов иностранных инвестиций. Объединение играет значительную роль в укреплении транснационального экономического управления в то время, когда мировая экономика сталкивается с сильными препятствиями на пути к восстановлению, а глобальное развитие потерпело серьезные неудачи на фоне беспрецедентной пандемии COVID-19. Ведущая роль в БРИКС принадлежит Китаю, возможности и потенциал которого намного превосходят ресурсы других членов объединения. В то же время участие в объединении оказывает двоякое влияние на экономические успехи и устойчивость КНР. В данном контексте статья посвящена проведению анализа факторного влияния БРИКС на экономическую безопасность Китая. В процессе исследования рассмотрены такие факторы как: трансформация системы глобального экономического управления, расширение инвестиционных возможностей, поддержка и продвижение инициативы «Пояс и Путь», конкурентная борьба с США, удержание и укрепление цепочек поставок. Отдельное внимание также уделено угрозам, которые являются следствием реализации членами БРИКС своих национальных интересов с такими партнерами как ЕС и США.

The article examines the content and meaning of the concept of "happiness" in the works of Abu Nasr Al-Fārābi and Yusuf Khas Kajib Balasagun and compares the general thoughts and conclusions of two thinkers on the issue of "happiness" and analyses the compatibility and continuity of their opinions. As a result of the research, it was determined that the problem of "happiness" was the main problem in the social and ethical philosophy of Al-Fārābi and Yusuf Khas Hajib Balasagun, and the compatibility and continuity of their general and specific philosophical thoughts on "happiness." Al-Fārābi proposed the doctrine of the "virtuous city" as a political and moral ideal and the concept of "happiness" as the goal of achieving this ideal. At the same time, according to the philosophy of the great thinker, "happiness" is considered the ultimate goal of a man. However, he warned that a virtuous citizen can only achieve happiness in this world and the next. On the basis of these opinions and conclusions of Al-Farabi, authors have revealed that Yusuf Has Kajib also connected the concept of “happiness” with virtue and a number of moral qualities, such as generosity, honesty, and justice, which lead to “happiness.” The importance of the article will undoubtedly be the basis for profoundly revealing the essence of the political and social philosophy of Al-Fārābi and Yusuf Khas Hajib, identifying new aspects, and theoretically and methodologically determining the continuity of their ideas on "happiness" with modern society.

The conceptual picture of the world is a set of concepts, knowledge about the universe, historically formed in the minds of a particular linguistic collective, embodied in the language and constantly updated. Mythological works have a special place in the comprehensive consideration of the conceptual picture of the world. "Myth" is the oldest type of spiritual culture of human beings. The first manifestations of human knowledge are mythical and folklore works. Although there are scientific works related to myth in world and Kazakh folklore, the study of English and Kazakh mythical images is considered for the first time. This article investigates the spiritual, cultural continuity and features of the knowledge of the two countries through a comparative analysis of Kazakh and English mythologems, as well as the nature, use, and semantic changes of linguistic phenomena. It will also be discussed how these myths shape the linguistic picture of the world in each culture. The results of this study contribute to such fields of science as psychology, neuroscience, linguistics and philosophy, religious studies and cultural anthropology.

The significant motivation behind this research article is to utilize a technique depending upon acertain variant of the integral transform (Fourier and Laplace) to investigate the basic solution for theDirichlet problem with constant boundary conditions. The time-fractional derivative one-dimensional,the equation of advection-diffusion and the Liouville-Caputo fractional derivative in a line fragment areintroduced. We also illustrate the results using graphical representations
Mathematical Model for Malaria Disease Transmission
Authors: Alhaj Mohamed Salah
Published: December 2023

Malaria is one of the fatal diseases caused by plasmodium parasites and transmitted to humans through biting of the female of {\it Anopheles} mosquitoes. We proposed a deterministic mathematical model for simulating Malaria disease transmission between humans and mosquitoes. The basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ is determined by using the next-generation matrix approach. Stability conditions for the model equilibrium points with respect to $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ derived and we show that the forward bifurcation occurred. When $\mathcal{R}_{0} <1$ or $\mathcal{R}_{0} >1$ the Malaria disease dies out or spreads, respectively. The sensitivity analysis for the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ fulfilled locally and globally. The model simulation was found by using Runge--Kutta fourth order method in MATLAB. Furthermore, The effects of the important parameters were investigated, and the obtained results were presented in graphical forms. Also, we obtained that the simulation results agree with the stability analysis for $E_{def}$. We discussed the impacts of the Malaria disease control interventions on the important parameter for Malaria disease transmission. Recommendation for control and eradicating Malaria disease transmission provided.
Mathematical Analysis of Drugs and Substance Abuse in Kenya among the Adolescents

Published: December 2023

It is incontestable that the mortality rate among drugs and substance abusers is higher than that in thegeneral population. The National Authority for the campaign against alcohol and substance abuse (NACADA)has painted a grim picture of the incessant rise in the number of youth becoming addicted. In this research, adeterministic model for drugs and substance abuse (DSA) driven by light drug abusers (LDA) and heavy drugabusers (HDA) was proposed. The basic reproduction number R0; , the foundation upon which the model’sstability analysis is established, was determined by utilizing the next-generation matrix (NGM) approach.The analysis showed that drug-free equilibrium (DFE) is locally asymptotically stable for R0 < 1 and unstableif R0 > 1. The global stability of both DFE and drugs endemic equilibrium (DEE) are explored by utilizingLyapunov functions. The bifurcation analysis was carried out using the center manifold theorem, where themethod utilized by Castilo-Chavez and Song was implemented and revealed that the rate of drug reinitiationdrove backward bifurcation. The contribution of the important parameters to DSA are investigated, andresults are presented graphically. Results from the simulation revealed that delayed exposure of the youth todrugs increased identification and treatment of the LDA and HDA, which would curtail DSA menace in Kenya.
