Frequency of Publication of Dermoscopic Images in Inter-observer Studies: A Systematic Review
Authors: Polesie Sam , Zaar Oscar
Published: December 2021

Research interest in dermoscopy is increasing, but the complete dermoscopic image sets used in inter-observer studies of skin tumours are not often shared in research publications. The aim of this systematic review was to analyse what proportion of images depicting skin tumours are published in studies investigating inter-observer variations in the assessment of dermoscopic features and/or patterns. Embase, MEDLINE and Scopus databases were screened for eligible studies published from inception to 2 July 2020. For included studies the proportion of lesion images presented in the papers and/or supplements was extracted. A total of 61 studies (53 original studies and 8 shorter reports (i.e. research letters or concise reports)). published in the period 1997 to 2020 were included. These studies combined included 14,124 skin tumours, of which 373 (3%) images were published. This systematic review highlights that the vast majority of images included in dermoscopy research are not published. Data sharing should be a requirement for future studies, and must be enabled and standardized by the dermatology research community and editorial offices.

Beside or by turn? The Buh-Dnister foragers and the Linear Band Pottery farmers on the Southern Buh River (Ukraine)
Authors: Haskevych Dmytro
Published: December 2021

For a long time, finds of the Linear Band Pottery culture (LBK) on the Southern Buh numbered only two bowls from the Buh-Dnister culture site of Bazkiv Ostriv. After the recent discovery of a few more vessels and four stationary LBK settlements, some scholars have assumed the Neolithic incomers regularly inhabited the most of the region. However new direct AMS dates on the Buh-Dnister pottery have shown the existence of the indigenous hunter-gatherers here from 5300 to 5000 BC. Therefore, today, the cluster of four sites is the only verified area that was settled by the early farmers near the town of Zavallia. The occurrence of the settlements at very this place is explained by the fertile local soil and the desire of the inhabitants to control the huge deposit of graphite, which was a centre of an extensive exchange network for the North-Pontic indigenous groups. This could have given the local LBK community significant social prestige through the active production and exchange of valuable goods.
The Earliest phase of the LBK in the Lublin region: New evidence from the Hrubieszów Basin
Authors: Szeliga Marcin , Gawryjołek-Szeliga Katarzyna
Published: December 2021

This article is an attempt to initially characterize the oldest phase of the LBK in the Lublin region, or more precisely – within its eastern part, where all related discoveries are concentrated. The main point of reference is the inventory discovered in 2011-2012 in Świerszczów (Hrubieszów Basin), which is currently the largest homogenous collection originating from this region, related to the early phase of the LBK. The artefacts described herein, as well as the stylistic differentiation of other similarly dated ceramic inventories from the eastern Lublin region (and from neighbouring Volhynia) currently allow us to distinguish two essential stages of the colonisation of this area in the oldest phase of the Neolithic. The older stage corresponds to the Gniechowice-Milanovce horizon (moderte and ephemeral settlement), and younger (Zofipole style), should be correlated with the Moravian phase Ib, including at least the younger section of its development (sub-phase Ib2).
Human burials and funeral rite of the Linear Pottery Culture from Poland area
Authors: Czekaj-Zastawny Agnieszka
Published: December 2021

Human burials of the Linear Pottery culture in Poland are not common. The recent discovery in Modlniczka of the first – and thus far the only – LBK cemetery in Poland was therefore a significant one. Presently, there are only 17 other known sites with burials. Thirteen sites are in south-eastern Poland, four in Kuyavia, and one in the Odra River valley. In comparison with other burial sites in Central and Western Europe, the graves of the LBK in Poland do not provide many clues about the funerary customs of this culture. Their small number and the very limited proportion of preserved human remains make it impossible to perform many types of analyses. However, despite the small amount of evidence, we can observe general patterns, which are typical of the entire European LBK – in terms of both settlements and burials.
Lithic industry of two Linearbandkeramik sites in Moldova (Nicolaevca V and Ţâra II)
Authors: Kiosak Dmytro , Debiec Maciej , Saile Thomas , Terna Stanislav
Published: December 2021

The two Linear Pottery culture lithic complexes presented in this paper came from northern Moldova. The Nicolaevca V assemblage was gathered from excavations of a small LBK dwelling, while the Ţâra II collection came from an eight-shaped pit. There was a “deposit” of objects suitable for knapping found in Nicolaevca V. This complex reflects flake-oriented expedient knapping. The Ţâra II complex represents a complicated sequence for obtaining regular blades. The interpretation of their differences is sought in the social organization of Neolithic flint-knapping, in which the Nicolaevca V lithic assemblage supposedly reflects domestic production in a household context, while Ţâra II products could have been involved in the exchange network.

This material constitutes one of the largest LBK chipped assemblages from area of the Volhynia.
Technological indicators in the pottery production of the late Linear Pottery culture and the Malice culture
Authors: Rauba-Bukowska Anna
Published: December 2021

This study aimed to reveal the transformations in pottery production in the Linear Pottery culture. In the course of longstanding analyses of archaeological materials from Lesser Poland, a few technological groups of this pottery were distinguished. A significant change in the preparation of ceramic fabrics was recorded in the late LBK phase, namely the Želiezovce phase. The objective of this study was to gather all data and confront it with the most recent findings from the sites of Targowisko and Brzezie. Based on the investigations, it was established that the major indicators of the late LBK phases were the occurrence of grog admixture, a significantly less common application of chaff admixture, and a smaller contribution of ceramic fabrics tempered with sand. In the light of the chronology of the materials under scrutiny, a distinctive predominance of ceramic fabrics with grog admixture was observed when compared with the set of ceramic bodies previously analysed.
Patterns of social practices and activities in the early ALPC settlement of Bükkábrány-Bánya VII (Northeast-Hungary)
Authors: Füzesi András , Tutkovics Eszter K. , Kalli András , Faragó Norbert
Published: December 2021

Bükkábrány-Bánya VII, an early ALPC settlement in Northeast Hungary, was just recently exposed to international research, but we would like to illustrate in our study how much promise its archaeological material has. We focused our investigation on these finds because the site contains a three-hectare excavated area and a welldefined settlement structure. Our first results are based on a quantitative examination of the many categories of archaeological finds. The first stage in our intra-site investigation involved the analysis of artifact fragmentation, as evaluated by the weight-to-frequency ratio, which indicated variances in depositional procedures. The spatial distribution of each find category was analyzed using kernel density, which revealed unique hot spots within activity zones. To split the settlement territory into spatial units, we employed the primary structural characteristics, such as rows of houses, empty spaces, and wells. The distribution and fragmentation data matched our theoretical spatial units well, providing an interpretive framework for the early ALPC settlement’s social units.

The article presents a theoretical analysis of existing concepts to evaluate the non-failure of RC structures in operation. To perform the analysis, the authors considered a number of scientific works of both Ukrainian and foreign researchers. The main focus was on works in which the model of the stochastic nature of the RC structure operation included random parameters of acting loads, as well as the reserve of its bearing capacity and serviceability (geometric dimensions of cross sections of constructive members, strength and deformation characteristics of materials, etc.). Among others, according to the authors, important problems in terms of analysis of a single work were the volume of statistical selection of random parameters, their number and impact on the study result, as well as rationality of the adopted method of calculating the probability of failure (or non-failure work) of RC structure in operation. Based on the processing of a number of scientific works, the authors highlight the relevance, advantages and disadvantages of the concepts of non-failure assessment proposed there, as well as the formulate the conclusions and recommendations for further experimental and theoretical research in this area.

The article is devoted to the regulation of the stress-strain state in the compressed elements of steel frames under full operating load. It is proposed to perform reinforcement of such elements with different end eccentricities of load application by rational regulation of the stress-strain state in the reinforcement elements. It is shown that the use of SDS adjustment for frame racks increases their bearing capacity and reduces deformability and welds. The new proposed technology of SDS regulation and possible constructive decisions are offered. Numerical experiment revealed high efficiency of application of the proposed solutions during the reconstruction and reinforcement of the metal frame system. The implementation of the proposed method of SDS regulation confirmed its effectiveness.

The possibility of modification of oxidized petroleum bitumen 70/100 produced by JSC "Ukrtatnafta" (Kremenchuk, Ukraine) with maleic anhydride was studied. The influence of maleic anhydride amount, process duration, and temperature on the main physical and mechanical characteristics of modified bitumen was studied. The optimal amount of maleic anhydride introduction to bitumen was established. It is found that 2 wt. % maleic anhydride allows to increase the softening temperature of the modified bitumen (from 46 °C to 52 °C). Adhesion to crushed stone also increases (from 2.5 points to 4.5 points) and other indicators improve. Sufficient time to modify the bitumen with maleic anhydride was 30 minutes. The optimum modification temperature for obtaining the modified bitumen with maleic anhydride is 130 °C. Increasing the temperature of the modification has a negative effect on the final physical and mechanical properties of the binder.

Understanding the Plant Aphid Interaction: A Review
Authors: Kranti Waghmare , Nivedita Ghayal , Shindikar Mahesh
Published: December 2021

The interaction between plant-aphid is phenomenal and complex. Aphids possess efficient mouthparts which feed on plant sap intensively. Adaptation to host plants and successful feeding is achieved through the strategic ability of aphids to reproduce sexually and asexually (parthenogenesis). Aphid infestation damages the plant in diverse ways and induces plant defense. Though plant elicit direct and indirect defense to resist aphid feeding, the effectiveness of plant resistance depends largely on the aphid infestation rate and quality of the host plant. To control aphid infestation and plant damage, dependency on insecticides is undesirable due to insecticidal resistance of aphids and environmental pollution. The approach towards the development of the genetically engineered crops which are aphid resistant can be the considerable potential to aphid control..
A Comparative Evaluation of the Effects of Credit Risk Control on the Profitability of Micro-Finance Bank
Authors: Enoch Esther Yusuf , Digil Abubakar Mahmud , Arabo Usman Abubakar
Published: December 2021

When assessing lending applications, banks face the problem of inadequate information needed to screen potential borrowers. The relevant information needed to evaluate the commitment of the entrepreneur and the likelihood of the business is challenging to interpret or even absent. This creates risk for the banks. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to give much consideration to credit management first before embarking on lending. In this research, we used both primary and secondary sources. We adopt a multi-stage sampling method by selecting a set of 21 respondents from a population of 52 credit officers. Questionnaires were used to collect data from the respondents while descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data collected and in testing the hypotheses. Specifically, we used simple percentage and regression analysis. We used the software SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) to implement the statistical techniques mentioned above. The results showed that microfinance banks need to strengthen their credit risk control measures to increase their profitability. This is because if properly adopted it helps to decrease the percentage of payments defaults. Credit management is important in improving the financial performance of microfinance banks and this is attributed to the fact that sounds and grounded credit management (client appraisal) allowed the bank to be efficient and have the availability of liquidity.

Management of the flared root canal is still a tough obstacle for the clinicians. Reinforcing the root canal space with the customised anatomic post thus regains the lost structure within the canal and aids in establishing a great strength and stability to the tooth structure. The report of this case scenario aims on clinical technique of fabricating anatomic post with glass - fibre posts and composite resin on a central and lateral incisor.
3D-Simulation Data-Making Trial to present and analyze Small-sized Farmlands Fields with Car-shaped Robot, ROS2, SLAM and Foxy for Real agricultural workers
Authors: Kawakura Shinji , Shibasaki Ryosuke
Published: December 2021

In this study, we create various application systems focusing on agricultural (agri-) field data digitalization issues that will benefit traditional agri-researchers, workers, and their respective managers. We obtain three-dimensional (3D) information on agri-environments (e.g., rice fields, farmlands) via roaming robots with sensors. Robot-controlled middleware, such as robot operating systems (ROS), are often used for such robots. Thus, we selected car-shaped robot (NANO-RT1), ROS2, and the SLAM-based system. The car-shaped robot-based system operates sensor units uniformly. With this technology, we can recognize our location at an unknown place, and the robot can run. There are challenges in accurately presenting quantitative accuracy data for this type of study. We address this by providing average and standard deviation (SD) data for certain situations using five algorithms: (1) Hector-SLAM, (2) G-mapping, (3) Karto-SLAM, (4) Core-SLAM, and (5) Lago-SLAM. We believe the proposed holistic system has the potential to improve not only agri-businesses, but also agri-skills and overall security levels.

Published: December 2021

Metode Sariswara merupakan metode pendidikan yang dibuat oleh Ki Hadjar Dewantara. Metode ini dibuat sebagai refleksi Ki Hadjar Dewantara terhadap pendidikan nasional di Indonesia yang lebih mengutamakan intelektualitas saja. Menurut Ki Hadjar Dewantara, pendidikan yang hanya mementingkan intelektualitas saja akan merusakan tujuan pendidikan nasional yaitu menjadikan manusia Indonesia yang memiliki pribadi yang memiliki budi pekerti luhur dan berkarakter. Untuk mewujudkan tujuan pendidikan nasional, maka Ki Hadjar Dewantara menggunakan konsep filosofisnya yaitu Amboeka Raras Angesti Widji yang artinya adalah kesenian merupakan landasan bagi pendidikan. Dengan landasan filosofisnya ini kemudian Ki Hadjar Dewantara menciptakan metode Sariswara yaitu metode pendidikan yang mengkombinasikan pelajaran bahasa, lagu dan cerita. Metode ini diinspirasi dari pelajaran tentang Sastra Gendhing yang digunakan Sultan Agung Mataram untuk mendidik anak-anak di Jawa. Landasan filosofis dan aktivitas pembelajaran dalam metode Sariswara memiliki kesamaan dengan metode-metode pendidikan musik barat yang hingga hari ini masih digunakan seperti metode Dalcroze, metode Orff, metode Kodály, dan metode Suzuki. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengkaji metode Sariswara dari pandangan Pendidikan Musik. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Data penelitian diambil dari observasi, wawancara, studi pustaka, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data dilakukan dengan mereduksi data penelitian, menyajika data, dan menarik kesimpulan. Dari hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa metode Sariswara memiliki unsur-unsur pembelajaran yang sama dengan metode-metode pendidikan musik yang digunakan hingga saat ini. Metode sariswara dapat dijadikan solusi bagi pengembangan kurikulum pendidikan musik di Indonesia yang berlandaskan kebudayaan nasional Indonesia.

Prevalence of plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamases among uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolates in southwestern Iran
Authors: Jomehzadeh Nabi , Ahmadi Khadijeh , Rahmani Zahra
Published: December 2021

Objectives: This study was undertaken to evaluate AmpC β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli urine isolates and to characterize the frequency of plasmid-mediated AmpC (pAmpC)-encoding genes.Methods: Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed using the disk diffusion technique. AmpC β-lactamase production was assessed with a phenotypic inhibitor-based method. The presence of 6 pAmpC-encoding cluster genes was detected by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results: The proportion of antibiotic resistance of E. coli isolates ranged from 7.4% to 90.5%, and more than half (51.6%) of the total isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR). Among the 95 E. coli isolates, 60 (63.2%) were found to be cefoxitin-resistant, but only 14 (14.7%) isolates were confirmed as AmpC β-lactamase-producers. In the PCR assay, pAmpC-encoding genes were found in 15 (15.8%) isolates, and blaDHA was the most prevalent type. However, blaFOX, blaMOX, and blaACC genes were not detected in the isolates.Conclusion: Our findings contributed valuable information concerning antibiotic resistance, confirmatory phenotypic testing for AmpC production, and pAmpC β-lactamase gene content in E. coli isolates in southwestern Iran. The level of MDR recorded in AmpC-producing strains of this study was worrying; therefore, implementing strong infection control approaches to reduce the MDR burden is recommended.

Published: December 2021

This research was carried out in the experimental site of the Arid and Oasian cultures Laboratory of the Institute of Arid Regions, Medenine, Tunisia. It aims at studying the effects of compost on seed germination patterns, seedling growth, and plant development of muskmelon and tomato under greenhouse conditions. Three growth media were used: compost of date palm wastes and two reference media (peat and perlite). The results showed that compost presented a promising threshold of both maturity and stability, which is related to its neutral pH, C : N ratio, greater humic acid vs fulvic acid, and low values of chlorophyll-type compounds. Seeds of muskmelon and tomato germinated at varying liquid compost extract concentrations and muskmelon reached higher germination index values even at the pure extract solution (100%). Moreover, seeds of both species germinated relatively faster in peat than in compost and an overall delay in germination was observed, with a more pronounced reduction on tomato germination percentage. Produced seedlings have attained a similar vigour index among media (p <0.05). Compost of date palm was more suitable for muskmelon stem elongation and leaf-enlarging capacity than perlite. However, the gustative quality of fruits was not significantly affected by the medium-types. Thus, it is concluded the promoising effect of compost of date palm as potting medium and substrate in soilless culture under greenhouse conditions unless a pertinent choice of cultures.

Okra yields are low in West and Central Africa and factors including narrow genetic base of available germplasm have been implicated. An assessment of genetic variability among germplasm from various sources and knowledge of trait contributions to these variations is crucial to the success of okra breeding program. Eighteen okra accessions were evaluated during the 2020 cropping season in Nigeria to assess the genotypes for genetic diversity, group the accessions into clusters and identify traits that chiefly accounted for the variations among the genotypes. Data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA), metroglyph and principal component analyses (PCA). ANOVA revealed significant accession mean squares for majority of the measured traits. Metroglyph analysis grouped the accessions into four clusters with members of Cluster IV generally high-yielding, early-maturing and short genotypes. NGB00353 and NGB00356 that were among genotypes with high total index scores were members of Cluster IV. The first four principal components (PCs) accounted for 80% of the total observed variation. PC1 with the highest discriminatory power was loaded with days to budding, internode length, pod yield.plot−1 and the number of pods.plant−1. The variation within and between clusters could be explored in okra breeding program.

Study aim: To assess the effects of a long-term physical exercise program on balance, physical conditioning, and health perception in elderly women.

Material and methods: The sample, 143 elderly women, were randomly assigned to an experimental group (EG; n = 71; age: 71.62 ± 4.96 years) and control group (CG; n = 72; age: 72.89 ± 5.40 years). The EG was submitted to a 32-week physical exercise program (3×/week, 60 min/session). Balance and physical conditioning were assessed through the 10-step in a straight-line test, the unipedal balance test (UBT), the timed up and go (TUG) test, and the 30-second chair stand test (30s CST). Health perception was evaluated by a questionnaire.

Results: Repeated measures ANOVA (2×3) revealed significant improvements (p < 0.05) in TUG and 30s CST in the EG from the pre- to the post-test and when compared to the CG in the post-test. There were significant increases (p < 0.05) in health perception, 10-step test, and UBT in the EG, and significant improvements (p < 0.05) in these EG variables when compared to the CG in the post-test.

Conclusions: Participating in the exercise program resulted in improvements in balance, muscle strength, agility, and health perception in the elderly of the present study.
Governance Quality and Tax Revenue Mobilization in Nigeria
Authors: Johnson Peace Ngozi , Omodero Cordelia Onyinyechi
Published: December 2021

An evaluation of the quality of governance as a major determinant of tax revenue generation is important to both the government and the Nigerian public. It has become required as a result of many rising economies’ reliance on several taxes to raise income. Tax income generation is crucial to the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and rising economies’ economic progress. This study addresses the influence of both political (political stability), institutional (corruption) and bad governance on the mobilization of tax revenue in Nigeria. To serve this purpose, the study employed a time series data set from 2000 to 2020. After subjecting the data to the unit root test, the study further employs Ordinary Least Square (OLS). The findings revealed that corruption and political instability have a positive and significant impact on Nigeria’s tax revenue mobilization. Bad governance, on the other hand, has a positive and insignificant influence on Nigeria’s tax revenue mobilization. The study focuses on improving governance quality by lowering corruption rates and increasing transparency in tax administration. To accomplish so, countries must execute policy reforms such as establishing an effective and strict judicial system, offering monetary incentives for tax officers to lower the risk of corruption, and, most crucially, broadening the revenue base rather than raising tax rates. As a result, the tax administration will improve, and the economy’s overall tax revenue collection will improve.
Ratification and Consequences of Sexual Offenses in the Criminal Code of Georgia
Authors: Mailashvili Jumber
Published: December 2021

This paper will discuss the issues of qualification of crimes against Sexual Freedom and Inviolability considered by Chapter 22 of Criminal Code of Georgia, which were made in the Criminal Code of Georgia after the Parliament of Georgia ratified the Council of Europe Convention on “preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence” (Istanbul Convention) adopted on May 11, 2011. Georgia signed this Convention on June 19, 2014. This paper will discuss the relative aspects of qualifying circumstances and disposition of rape and other related corpora delicti and their understanding in a new manner. The article will study the pros and cons that resulted in the fundamental changes made to the Criminal Code of Georgia on May 30, 2018, after the ratification of the “Istanbul Convention”. The concept prevailing, in theory, provides a new definition about what problems were solved and what contradictions arose from the new changes. In court practice, there still prevails the view that in order for the action to be assessed as rape, it is necessary for a woman to carry out “selfless” resistance to the offender. However, there are frequent cases when no signs of resistance are found on the victim’s body. Given the above, as evidence of the absence of consent is not often established to a high standard by the investigation (for example, in the event of a threat of violence), the case ends with the acquittal of the accused. The article will present recommendations on making changes in some components of the action by the Parliament of Georgia in the future. Based on the scientific literature and the legislation, both, main and additional qualifying elements considered by the disposition of the given Articles will be discussed in detail.
Inter-Regional Cooperation in Waste Management: New Trends in Moscow and the Moscow Region
Authors: Agiamoh Rosaline Georgevna
Published: December 2021

Globalization metrics rank Moscow as an alpha global city and the second most populous city in Europe. The city’s rate of urbanization and population growth has increased over the past decade triggering outward urban sprawl and the attendant need for spatial development within the city’s suburb – the Moscow Region municipality. This study focuses on internal factors and trends facilitating the need for inter-municipal waste management cooperation between the Moscow metropolis and the Moscow Region municipality. The paper reviews the policies driving this partnership and the inter-sectoral network facilitating waste management. Partnership effectiveness is evaluated via a multi-indicator approach, alongside qualitative thematic analysis comprising public surveys and the review of legal, administrative and operational documents. The findings reveal that cooperation between the municipalities is primarily driven by the convergence of socio-cultural factors, common territorial boundaries, the provision of public utilities and urban spatial constraints.
E-Government in European Countries, a Comparative Approach Using the Principal Components Analysis
Authors: Androniceanu Armenia , Georgescu Irina
Published: December 2021

The digitalization of public administration is a necessary condition for the economic and social development of each country. In this context, e-government is developing and diversifying its forms of implementation, contributing significantly to the efficiency of public administration, to increasing the degree of transparency and to reducing corruption in public institutions. The aim of the research was to know how the states of the European Union evolved from the point of view of e-government and what influence it had on the economic development of the analyzed states and on the European citizens during the analyzed period. For this we selected ten research variables from several databases: Eurostat, the World Bank and the United Nations E-Government Development Database (UNeGovDD) of the United Nations. The period for which we did the analysis is 2010 – 2019. Using EViews 12 we applied panel Principal Component Analysis to reduce the 10-variable panel into a lower dimension of 3 principal components to find the underlying simplified structure. The three principal components retained explain about 76.5 % of the initial information. The research results show significant differences between the states analyzed, in terms of e-government, but also in terms of the impact it has on government effectiveness, controlling corruption, e-participation of European citizens and the economic development of Member States. In countries with a high level of e-government implementation, governance is efficient, corruption is low, citizen involvement is higher and economic development is faster.
La Actitud Virtual
Authors: Moreno César
Published: December 2021

In this paper, I intend to show the right concern of phenomenology (specially of husserlian type) in the exploration of the textures of consciousness that explain themselves in the noetic-noematic structure of the phenomenological-transcendentally reduced world (within inverted commas). Therefore, the undoubtfulness of “immanent perception” takes, for instance, great importance in the virtual realm, as long as, in that realm, consciousness opens itself more radically to the intentional “otherness” than to what natural attitude calls “reality”. Nevertheless, although phenomenology is able to justify the emergence of virtual reality (or of “real virtuality”), phenomenology has strategies ruling out the possibility that virtualization becomes simulation (deception). In this paper, this situation is presented as the ideal of the technical-virtual manipulation of what is given to consciousness. For this very reason, virtual attitude must keep an indispensable distance (strangeness effect), so that the sense of “reality” can continue to be a valid one.
Enseñar y aprender filosofia a partir del pensar logotectónico
Authors: Zubiria Martín
Published: December 2021

The aim of this essay is to consider what it means to teach and learn philosophy in accordance with logotectonic thinking. The contemporary obsession with critical thinking, incessant questioning, and addressing “current problems” gains its genuine philosophical meaning only in the light of logotectonic building, which is able to differentiate philo-sophical thinking- as thanks-giving and learning·from the sofia and what has been thought – from the modern-”meditation” (Besinnung) and the submodern “anarchic” reflection.
