Risk Factors and Management of Diverticulitis
Authors: Chugh Alexander
Published: April 2023

Diverticulitis is a type of gastrointestinal disorder that develops when the mucosa herniates through the muscular wall of the colon forming a sac like pouch known as diverticula. Development of diverticula can present as asymptomatic, known as diverticulosis or symptomatic, known as diverticulitis. Within the gut, the flora plays an essential role in in providing a barrier to pathogenic organisms. Scientists believe that the chronic inflammation related to diverticulitis is a result of an imbalance in the normal gut flora. There are many risk factors associated with diverticulitis including genetic predisposition, dietary and lifestyle factors. Individuals aged sixty-five and older have a significantly higher risk of developing a diverticular disease, however new research has shown that the greatest increase in percentage of individuals diagnosed with diverticulitis are individuals age 50 years and younger. With irreversible damage being done on the gut microbe, scientists have developed several possible treatments of diverticulitis with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and probiotic drugs. A combination of these treatments helps to eliminate recurrence of diverticulitis.
Changes in Predicted Adult Height over Time in Girls with Early Puberty and Related Factors
Authors: AmirAbbas Ahadiat Seyed
Published: April 2023

Background: One of the most important concerns parents have about their daughters’ precocious puberty is the reduction in final height. This study evaluates the changes in predicted adult height (PAH) over time in girls with early puberty. Materials and Methods: Girls with aged 7 to 9.5 years old with the beginning of puberty after seven years were evaluated. Two non-dominant hand x-ray were taken at 6 to 24 months. The predicted adult height (PAH) was estimated using bone age and the Bayley-Pinneau method. Changes in PAH were determined. The relationship between age, height and weight at birth, target height and puberty stages, and bone age and BMI with PAH changes were investigated. Results: Seventy girls with a mean age of 8.23 years (SD: 0.65) and an average time interval of 0.99 years (SD: 0.47) were studied. At the first evaluation, the average bone age was 8.6 years (p value=0.225 SD: 1.25), and the average predicted adult height was 158.95 cm (SD: 5.66). At the second evaluation, the average bone age was 10.06 years (P-value=0.15 SD: 1.36), and the average predicted adult height was 158 cm (SD: 6.75). The mean difference in predicted adult height is -0.94 ± 4.8 cm. The mean final height predicted in the first and second visits showed a significant relationship with PAH changes and in the group that increased PAH by more than 3 cm, the average growth rate was 69.7 cm per year. In other words, the group growth velocity was higher, the higher their PAH. Two factors associated with expected adult height changes were found: height growth velocity and bone age velocity. Conclusion: Girls with early puberty are not altogether at risk of reduced adult height. However, if there is concern about reducing final height, the expected adult height will still need to be re-estimated at the appropriate interval.
Advancing Environmental Health and Justice: A Call for Assessment and Oversight of Healthcare Waste
Authors: M Okoh
Published: April 2023

Healthcare waste adversely impacts society in ways that have been overlooked for decades, an issue that the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated significantly. This policy statement addresses the human impacts that occur as healthcare waste is processed, transported, landfilled, or incinerated. With limited federal tracking and lack of regulation, patterns of environmental racism persist. Communities of color and low-income communities most often experience the greatest environmental health burdens through disposal of waste in their communities. Many communities have called for action for decades, as our massive healthcare industry contributes greatly to these harms. Centering these communities, public health professionals must advocate for: 1) Evidence-based federal policies with transparent, accessible data about healthcare waste generation, type, and fate, 2) Leadership within the healthcare industry, from hospitals, accrediting bodies, professional organizations, and medical, health professions, and healthcare administration training programs to address environmental health and justice issues related to waste, 3) Health impact assessments, cost-benefit analyses, and circular economy research with healthcare systems and communities to identify cost-effective, feasible, and just solutions, and 4) Federal initiatives to prioritize funding towards mitigation of cumulative exposures and impacts, reparation for harms, and investment in well-being for communities fenceline to waste—healthcare or otherwise. Some public health experts anticipate that we may be entering a ‘pandemic age,’ which suggests that without intervention, intersecting issues of infectious disease, climate change, waste, and environmental health and justice will remain and reoccur.
The Role of a Rich Landscape Vegetation on kob Antelope (Kobus kob) Group Feeding Activity in Bouba Ndjidda National Park, North Region, Cameroon
Authors: ME Maurice
Published: April 2023

Thorough knowledge of the ecological requirements of ungulates provides the basis for the formulation of an appropriate programme of management actions directed at that species. More so, the identification of the minimum habitat requirements for a species is essential before specific management actions can be instituted. However, the relationship between antelopes and habitat plays a crucial role in the ecology of any species. The association between a herbivore and its habitat not only encompasses the availability of preferred food plants and their particular growth stages in its home range, it is also intimately linked to other features of the habitat. Hence, the key objective of this study was to assess the role of landscape vegetation on antelopes’ sustainability. Data collection was initiated immediately after a thorough study was done. The kob antelopes groups were visited regularly to record both feeding activity and ecological factors. The study showed a significance between kob antelope group and vegetation, X2 = 7.383 df=8, P<0.05. The antelope-group strength was dominated by 1-5 antelopes 89%, but larger group-sizes were equally recorded though not common. The three vegetation types most used by the antelopes were grassland 49%, shrub-land 36%, and forest patches 11%. Nonetheless, the antelope-group activity showed a significance on vegetation type X2 = 11.510 df=4, P<0.05. The most significant animal activities recorded were movement 49%, feeding 35%, and resting 16% respectively. Similarly, antelope-group activity revealed a significance on photo-period X2 = 5.348 df=2, P<0.05. Additionally, the antelope-group size showed a significance on landscape X2 = 7.364 df=8, P<0.05. Bouba ndjidda national park in the northern region of Cameroon has three landscape types useful to the kob antelopes, flat 73%, slope 25%, and hill 2% respectively. More so, there was a positive correlation significance between vegetation and food resources r = 0.248, P<0.05. The landscape of the national park has very little escapement that could obstruct movement of these mediumsized antelopes. Furthermore, their vigilance, speed against predators, and prolific nature might help the antelope achieve a high population in the national park in future. Most of these antelopes have received very little research attention, however, more study is needed to explore the social organization, feeding and population ecology.

Authors: Simões Coelho Letycia Accioly
Published: April 2023

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate, by means of a stereomicroscope, the influence on the removal of smear layer obtained by the XP-endo Finisher and Tornado Disinfection Kit systems during the final agitation of the irrigating solution, in conservative preparations. Materials and methods: Ten extracted human lower premolars were chemically-mechanically prepared with the ProDesign Logic 2 NiTi rotary system (25/.05) and 2.5% NaOCl. The same specimens were submitted to three different protocols of agitation of the irrigating solution: Conventional irrigation, XP-endo Finisher and Tornado Disinfection Kit. For this, a closed system was made, the roots were cleaved and three holes were made in each third of the root canal and filled with dentinal debris to take initial photos under a stereomicroscope. The amount of debris was rated using a 4-point scoring system. The data obtained were submitted to the Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests (p<0.05). Results: In the analysis of the effectiveness of each protocol, it was possible to observe a statistically significant difference in the removal of debris in all thirds for all protocols (p<0.05). Regarding the difference in score found before and after application of the protocol, a significant difference was observed between the apical and the middle third in the Tornado Disinfection Kit group (p<0.05) and there was no difference between the same third for different groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Based on the methodology and the results presented, it was concluded that both evaluated protocols improved the cleaning of root canal recesses in all thirds, with no difference between them.
Diagnostic Dilemma in a Rare Jaw Metastasis: A Case Report
Authors: Kamath Geetha
Published: April 2023

Malignant tumors that have metastasized to the oral and maxillofacial region from distant sites account for only 1% of all malignancies of the jaw. These metastasize most often to the mandibular molar region. The commonest primary sources of metastatic tumors found in the oral and maxillofacial region are the lung, kidney and prostate gland for the males, and the breast, genital organs and kidneys for females. Uterine cervix cancer is the second most common female cancer and the third most common cause of female cancer mortality. The tumor spreads into the surrounding tissues by direct infiltration, but hematogenous dissemination is relatively unusual and the involvement of oral and maxillofacial region is extremely rare in gynecological cancer. Here a case of a 45-year-old woman is presented, who had a lesion of sunburst type appearance radiographically and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma histologically involving the maxillofacial region, which metastasized from uterus cervix.

Percebendo a perda da potência das múltiplas formas de aprender e ensinar diante da exigência de um currículo nacional comum, escrevemos com o objetivo de refletir sobre conceitos capazes de pôr em evidência algumas consequências da pandemia de Covid-19 para a experiência discente e para os currículos escolares. Para tanto, lançamos mão de autores como Sennett (2003), Arroyo (2012), Buss-Simão (2012), Souza (2020), Correia e Zoboli (2021), Moreira, Santos e Gandin (2017). A análise dos conceitos de “corpo, cidade, noções comuns, periferia urbana e efeito de território” trouxe atenção para a pretensão de subjugar os corpos pelo estabelecimento de um currículo comum nacional. De modo que concluímos que a Base Nacional Comum Curricular despotencializa os corpos infantis como se eles não se manifestassem, apenas fluíssem de acordo com o que se pensou para eles, num projeto de sociedade.

O texto objetiva refletir sobre como o Desenho Universal para a Aprendizagem (DUA) e o Plano Educacional Individualizado (PEI) se relacionam com a promoção da inclusão escolar dos estudantes público-alvo da Educação Especial. O DUA propõe um modelo de ensino que visa diminuir as barreiras metodológicas a partir de um currículo acessível para todos os alunos, uma vez que proporciona modos múltiplos de apresentação, de execução e de engajamento. O PEI, por outro lado, pensa em estratégias específicas de ensino para alunos que demandem adaptações no currículo. Consideramos que a prática pedagógica inclusiva, de fato, busca a promoção de propostas que atendam todo o alunado. Entretanto, em casos específicos, é necessária a individualização do ensino para o processo de inclusão. Assim, compreendemos que DUA e PEI são propostas curriculares complementares no desenvolvimento da inclusão escolar.

A New Method of Strengthening the Compressed Reinforced Concrete Columns Based on the Use of Concrete and Composite Materials
Authors: Georgie S. V. , Mailyan D. R. , Solovyeva A. I.
Published: April 2023

Introduction. For many years strengthening of the compressed reinforced concrete structures was fulfilled by methods based on using reinforced concrete cages and outer metal frames. These are rather time-consuming and expensive processes. The implementation of composite materials in the construction industry made it possible to quicken and simplify the works on strengthening, however with regard to compressed elements it turned to be very resourcedemanding to increase the bearing capacity of rectangular or square section structures. This is primarily due to the limitation in compression strain of the longitudinally located carbon fiber materials and a large decreasing coefficient for transverse composite strengthening. However, the development of new methods of strengthening, including the one considered in this work, will increase the efficiency of composite materials located in the transverse direction by 5–10 times, depending on different variable factors. This article aims to develop and justify a new method of strengthening the reinforced concrete columns by using mixed concrete-composite reinforcement.Materials and methods. This research relies on the results of theoretical calculations. The standard variant of strengthening a compressed reinforced concrete element has been considered and calculated as well as composite materials volume has been specified. Based on the standard calculation results the proposals, which take into account the effect of a new strengthening method, have been made in this article, the detailed methodology of calculation thereof has also been presented. The results of theoretical strength calculations along with comparison of the required volume of reinforcement materials are the key issues in the analysis and drawing conclusions.Results. The research has resulted in development, calculation and justification of the new method of strengthening, which allows reducing the volume of composite materials required for strengthening the compressed reinforced concrete columns.Discussion and conclusion. Three variants of calculating the strengthening of a reinforced concrete column with composite materials have been presented and reviewed in this work. One of which is a standard one, the other two are proposed by the authors. The developed method of strengthening implies rounding of concrete followed by jacketing with composite materials. These roundings can be considered in calculation or can be referred to as structural elements. In any case, the strengthening effect received from the proposed method becomes 5.3 and 10.5 times higher. Besides, further research ideas for continuing the development and study of the method of strengthening the centrally compressed reinforced concrete columns with composite materials are given in conclusion.

Published: April 2023

Introduction. Among the construction companies production and business activities the significant efforts are allocated to the construction processes optimisation. Problems related to the untimely supply of material and labor resources cause a construction company the non-production costs and losses. In order to manage the activities of a construction company the organisational and technological models are used to plan construction processes in correlation with the use of material, financial and labor resources. However, the huge amount of provided information prevents from qualitative and timely feedback to the changing conditions. The aim of the study is to investigate the possibility of artificial intelligence technology application to the process of modeling the construction company activities.Materials and methods. The methods of comparative analysis and synthesis of the information referring to the construction processes modeling were used. The main problems arising in the process of organisational and technological models management and the consequences of inefficient construction management were analysed.Results. As a result of the research, it was proposed to transfer the development of optimal organisational and technological models capable of forecasting the quantity and delivery time of all types of resources to the artificialintelligence systems. Mostly preferred method seems to be the integration of digital twin technology and artificial intelligence. This approach allows changing the physical model of construction production via virtual space of the digital twin model. Visualization of the organisational and technological construction model elements as well as work in real time, having various scenarios calculated, will significantly increase the efficiency of a construction company.Discussion and Conclusions. The proposed approach on improvement of the organisational and technological modeling based on the aggregation of digital twin technology with machine data processing can be considered just the first step in implementation of artificial intelligence in the construction industry, giving start to digital transformation of construction.

Authors: Tikhomirov A. L. , Pirozhnikova A. P.
Published: April 2023

Introduction. Data on elements of heat supply systems of the Russian Federation (heat sources, heating networks) are given as well as the main energy characteristics. The main problems in the industry are indicated. It is concluded that it is necessary to optimize the operation of heat supply systems in all its links and at all stages of the life cycle.Materials and Methods. For optimal control of thermal power systems, the authors consider it expedient to create a digital information model of each element of the system at each stage of the life cycle, including: - three-dimensional engineering digital terrain model; - three-dimensional engineering digital model of heating networks, taking into account adjacent communications and structures;- operational digital model of the heat supply system on the platform of the geoinformation software complex Zulu21. The technology of data exchange in IFC format between software complexes is given. The necessity of verification of the operational model using the data of field measurements on the physical model of the heat supply system is indicated.Results. The creation of a digital information 6D model of the heat supply system allows you to move to a higher level: intelligent dynamic control of a complex energy system (neurocontrol). The SCADA software package in online mode collects the necessary information (temperature, pressure, coolant flow) from sensors installed at characteristic points of the system. All information is transmitted to Zulu, a software package with built-in support for OPC technology to receive data from a SCADA system. The received data is fed into the ZuluGis software package, which includes the ZuluThermo module, with a loaded digital information model of the heat supply system. The actual thermal and hydraulic modes of the system are calculated in the module. Data on the optimal and actual thermal-hydraulic modes are transmitted to the neurofeedback unit for comparison and management decisionmaking. The decision is transmitted to the appropriate controller to initialize actions to change a parameter.Discussion and Conclusions. A technology for developing a digital information model for elements of a heat supply system at all stages of its life cycle is proposed. The creation of a digital information 6D model of the heat supply system allows you to move to a higher level: intelligent dynamic control of a complex energy system (neurocontrol). The use of intelligent control makes it possible to improve the quality of decisions made, significantly increase the energy efficiency of heat supply systems and the quality of services provided to the end user.
About Influence of Choosing the Force Method Principal System on the Accuracy of Calculations in Solving a Stress-Based Plane Elasticity Problem
Authors: Gagalayan G. T. , Fominykh A. S.
Published: April 2023

Introduction. It is known that the solution of a problem in elasticity theory is possible based on displacements, stresses, as well as mixed method. The most common is the displacement-based finite element method (FEM), however, it has its imperfections. The aim of this article is to study the features of numerical solution of a stress-based plane elasticity problem using the finite difference method (FDM) as a possible alternative to the FEM. The options for choosing the force method principal system are considered aiming to obtain the boundary conditions in calculating a rectangular beamwall by the grid method along with the influence thereof on the final result during stresses calculation.Materials and methods. The calculation of a rectangular beam-wall is made in Balka-Stenka software developed in DSTU. Comparison between a solution made by the finite difference method and a solution made by the displacementbased finite element method is made in the LIRA-SAPR software. The accuracy of calculations is determined by performing the static balance tests of the cut-off part of a structure. For the structure under consideration, the choice of five options of the force method principal system (FMРS) is analysed.Results. For the first time the conclusion was made that in contrast to the calculation of bar systems, the choice of FMРS does not significantly affect the final stress values in solving a plane elasticity problem.Discussion and conclusion. The comparison of calculation results made by the displacement-based finite element method and by the finite difference method showed some advantages of the latter. The finite difference method can act as an alternative to the displacement-based finite element method in solving a plane elasticity problem on condition of automation of the process of building the internal forces epures in a wall beam-wall contour.

Authors: Shchutsky S. V. , Skuratov S. V. , Limantsev A. A.
Published: April 2023

Introduction. The article tackles the problem of finding the most efficient in terms of metal consumption I-shaped crosssection for creating a frame of variable section. In this paper from various options of creating the variable in length frame elements the authors study the option of creating the elements from the ordinary I-beams by diagonal slitting followed by welding as one of the most technologically advanced one. To obtain the most efficient in terms of metal consumption cross-section, it is proposed to use a monosymmetric I-beam composed of two different assortment items.

Materials and Methods. The review of scientific works related to the topic of designing structures from I-beams allowed the authors to compile a methodology for calculating the optimal section parameters. The implementation of this methodology makes it possible to draw the parameters for finding the most efficient for application cross-sections from the existing assortment of rolled I-beams.

Results. The object considered in this study is a frame of a building designed as the braced frame structure from welded single-span frames with elements of variable cross-section (code 828KM). The calculation was made in accordance with the proposed methodology. The results of the calculation show that the use of a monosymmetrical I-beam, composed of two different I-beams, gives opportunity to use the load-bearing capacity of the section to the fullest extent.

Discussion and Conclusions. In the result of implementation of the proposed methodology, it became possible to reduce the mass of an I-beam of a variable cross-section compared to the serial one used under similar loads. The result of the study allows us to conclude that the use of frames of variable section formed of I-beams of various cross-sections by diagonal slitting and subsequent welding in the construction of industrial frame buildings is highly perspective.

The cactus plant is one of the most common plants used in treatment all kinds of ailment. Studies have shown that the cactus extract has both antihyperglycemic and neuroprotective effects. This research will focus on some of the effect of an aqueous extract of cactus on the cytoarchitecture of the frontal cortex of the diabetic Wistar rats. Thirty (30) male Wistar rats were randomly selected and placed into five (5) groups of 6 Wistar rats each. These include the control group A, diabetic only group B, diabetic+cactus group C, diabetic+metformin group D, and cactus only group E. The animals were acclimatized for one week. The Rats were weighed, and a baseline glucose level established after the overnight fasting period. The animals were injected with streptozotocin calculated at a dose of 70 mg/kg body weight and reintroduced to the normal feeding cycle. After about 72 hours, diabetes was established (blood glucose≥ 7 mmol). The administration of Cactus extract of 100 mg/kg BW and Metformin of 100 mg/kg BW commenced for four weeks. After fourth week the animals were sacrificed by euthanasia and the brain was harvested and fixed in 10 % formal saline for H and E and PTAH staining. At the end of the four weeks experiments the results shows, the average body weight of the rats in the diabetic+cactus group showed an increase by the end of the four-week experiment which was not significantly different to the normal control group, while the diabetic+metformin group was significantly different to the control group and also diabetic control group was significant to normal control group. The relative brain weight of the diabetic+cactus and diabetic+metformin group were not significantly different to the normal control (p>0.05). The blood glucose levels of the diabetic+cactus and diabetic+metformin group at the end of the fourth week were not significant different from Group A (p>0.05).

The H and E photomicrographs of diabetic group show that most cells were necrotic, and the normal pyramidal cells present were scanty. The diabetic+cactus group showed presence of more normal pyramidal cells than necrotic cells. The diabetic+metformin group showed presence of both normal and necrotic pyramidal cells. The PTAH staining in the diabetic group, there were astrocytes present with degenerated neuron. Diabetic+cactus and diabetic+metformin groups showed some neurons were degenerated while some appeared normal with astrocytes while the cytoarchitecture of cactus only group are similar to that of normal control group. Aqueous extract of cactus possesses anti hyperglycemic effects and can be a potential and effective therapy for the management of diabetes due to its ameliorative properties as shown in the findings of this research.

Authors: Solovyova JuV
Published: April 2023

Protection of the schoolgirls' reproductive health that often depends on many factors, one way or another associated with low awareness of the issue, is a global priority in modern society. The study was aimed to assess the factors that affect reproductive health of the school-age girls. An online questionnaire survey of 100 girls aged 15–18 aimed at detecting reproductive health problems was carried out in Moscow. The average age of menarche was 12.3 ± 1.2 years, however, there were girls, who had menarche at the age of 10 years (10%), and those, who had menarche after the age of 14 (7%), among schoolgirls. Blood spotting between periods was observed in 21% and pelvic pain in 44% of schoolgirls; 81% had severe pain. Irritability, aggression, easy crying, rapid fatigue, and faintness before and during the periods were reported by 98%; swelling, weight gain, abdominal distension, constipation, diarrhea, breast engorgement and soreness were reported by 73%; headache, vertigo, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, increased sensitivity to smell and sound were noted by 50%; high blood pressure, heart-related pain, increased heart rate, panic attacks were reported by 21%; menstrual disorders were observed in 16% of school-age girls. The study showed that 60% of schoolgirls demonstrated medium awareness, 28% showed high awareness, and 12% had insufficient knowledge about reproductive health. The schoolgirls' insufficient awareness of the reproductive health-related issues is a major medical and social challenge that can negatively affect the schoolgirls' reproductive health and cause not only various reproductive system disorders, but also reproductive losses and even infertility later in life.

Whether in general education or Islamic education, information and communication technologies (ICT) have shown to be effective in boosting learning and teaching processes. However, the optimal utilization of ICT in Islamic education is hardly observed, and its acceptance is rarely analysed. Therefore, the present study evaluated factors influencing individuals in Islamic education to adopt ICT based on the modified unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model by incorporating two external factors: personal innovativeness and a religious perspective on the ICT aspect. The study employed a survey method to collect data from 225 valid respondents from Indonesia and applied a partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach for analysis purposes. The study’s findings suggest that three factors significantly influenced behavioural intention to utilize ICT in Islamic education. These factors are the religious perspective on ICT, personal innovativeness, and social influence, with the religious perspective being more effective factor on behavioural intention than other factors. Moreover, religious perspective, facilitating conditions, and behavioural intention significantly affected actual ICT usage. Both effort and performance expectancies did not significantly affect behavioural intention to use ICT. Besides that, personal innovativeness was found insignificant in influencing usage behaviour, however, it significantly affected effort expectancy, while religious perspective significantly influenced performance expectancy. Finally, the study’s model explained 55.1% of behavioural intention and 54.0% of usage behaviour. The implications of the findings for practical and theoretical contributions are discussed in this paper.
Poder, autoridad moral y emociones en la perspectiva sociológica de Émile Durkheim
Authors: Vázquez Gutiérrez Juan Pablo
Published: April 2023

Este trabajo somete a revisión dos aparentes limitaciones señaladas recurrentemente en la obra de Durkheim: la omisión del tema del poder y la consideración de las emociones como una categoría residual en su explicación del mundo social. Frente a ello se sostiene que la dimensión emocional, pese a no ser trabajada sistemáticamente por este autor, forma parte integral de su perspectiva y constituye una vía de acceso a su visión sobre el poder. Nuestro análisis, centrado en pasajes del libro Las formas elementales de la vida religiosa, hace uso de conceptos procedentes de la sociología de las emociones para destacar los alcances y límites de la perspectiva durkheimiana, y toma como referencia las nociones de autoridad moral y efervescencia colectiva.
La "política de adaptación" de la compañía de Jesús en la dinastía Ming: las primeras comunicaciones culturales entre Europa y China
Authors: Luo Huiling
Published: April 2023

La “política de adaptación” se trataba de una manera pacífica en la difusión de las doctrinas de Dios. Sin embargo, esta estrategia no significó un consenso entre todos los misioneros en el Oriente. En el caso de China, la Evangelización se encontraba con enormes dificultades en la etapa inicial del proceso, entre los motivos principales, se encontraba la dificultad del idioma chino, la singularidad de la cultura autóctona, la filosofía confuciana arraigada y el poder absolutamente centrista. Los misioneros jesuitas que llegaron a la tierra de Ming en los siglos XVI y XVII, desempeñaron un papel pionero en las comunicaciones científicas entre China y el Occidente. En este sentido, se puede decir que la historia de la misión jesuita de China durante la dinastía Ming está estrechamente vinculada con el origen de los estudios chinos en Europa.
The Logic of Self-Realization in Hegel’s Philosophy of Right
Authors: Manchisi Armando
Published: April 2023

The concept of “self-realization” plays a central role in philosophy, since it summarizes the idea that a good life is a flourishing life, that is, an existence in which a person makes the best of what she is. A long tradition has understood this in terms of actualizing one’s potential or fulfilling one’s highest and most worthy aspirations. The aim of this paper is to analyze Hegel’s Logic and Philosophy of Right, in order to show that they outline an alternative and valuable account of self-realization that conceives of human flourishing as tied to the flourishing of the world.
Hegel’s Cartesian Grounding of Political Philosophy
Authors: Friedman Shterna
Published: April 2023

Hegel saw modern philosophy as internally divided between its metaphysics and epistemology, on the one hand, and its political philosophy, on the other. Descartes had developed a metaphysics of totality to ground the epistemological certainty of the cogito, treating true unity as a unity of opposites (a totality). But political philosophy, in its empiricist and formalist forms, relied on an impoverished conception of unity—treating it, respectively, as a mere aggregation of parts or as formal consistency. The Philosophy of Right thus attempted to rectify the deficiencies of political philosophy by grounding it on the Cartesian concept of totality.
