Foreword. Finalism and Judgement
Authors: Desideri Fabrizio , Portera Mariagrazia
Published: January 2022

What does it mean to “judge” something? What are the preconditions and the necessary prerequisites for the formulation of a judgement (be it a cognitive judgement, a moral judgement, or an aesthetic judgement)? Is there a special relationship between finalism and judgement and, if yes, in what sense? The relationship between finalism and judgment has been typically understood along two main lines of interpretation: on the one hand, as the finalism attributed by judging to certain objects or phenomena; on the other hand, from the point of view of the finality of judging itself, i.e., the teleological orientation of judging in the global dimension of life.

This issue of Aisthesis includes a selection of highly relevant contributions to the topic “Judgement and finalism”, with the aim of bringing to the fore the circular movement that seems to characterize every judgement in itself – from nature, and from the nature of our mind, to the objects, structures, natural kinds etc. that populate the world, and reversely from the world to the mind. Kant’s Critique of the Power of Judgement plays, in this respect, a very fundamental role, as the papers by Stefano Velotti, Luigi Filieri, Lorenzo Sala, and Antonio Branca show brilliantly. Andrea Lanza and Barbara Santini discuss the interconnections between teleology and judgement in the frame, respectively, of Husserl’s phenomenology and Friedrich Hölderlin’s poetic philosophy. The idea that finalism and the dynamics of judgement have much to do with each other opens new links to disciplines other than philosophy and to an interdisciplinary approach to the activity of judging in research fields such as psychology, cognitive sciences, biology. This is the perspective adopted by Francesco Vitale, in his paper on Ernst Mayr’s teleonomy, and by Onerva Kiianlinna, in her a paper on epigenesis and modularity in Evolutionary Aesthetics.

This present issue is further enriched by a substantial focus on images and the aesthetic experience in the digital age (Fabrizio Desideri, Francesca Perotto, Caterina Zaira) and by a multifaceted and intriguing “Varia” section, with contributions by Ricardo Ibarlucia, Mariya Veleva, David Alvaro Gonzàlez, Carmelo Colangelo.

Heuristic Potential of the Cognitive Model of the Sociocultural Process of Symbolizing Success
Authors: Шлыкова О.В.
Published: January 2022

Рецензируемая монография посвящена раскрытию эвристического потенциала когнитивной модели процесса символизации успеха. Работа основана на материале, который по большей части имеет отношение к наследию мирового кинематографа (фильмы-лидеры глобального рейтинга кассовых сборов). Обосновывая необходимость исследования, рецензент обращает внимание на бессистемное и одностороннее отношение к феномену успеха в российской научной литературе. Отмечено выявление исследователем взаимосвязи содержания кинофильмов мирового проката и изменения ценности коллективной и индивидуальной деятельности в рамках массовой культуры. Указывается, что разработанная автором модель подразумевает деление символов успеха на социоцентричные и персоноцентричные. Отмечается, что экстраполяция полученных результатов на некоторые сферы коммуникативных отношений носит дискуссионный характер. Делается вывод о значительном потенциале авторских разработок и о возможной их применимости к анализу политического популизма.

The monograph under review discloses the heuristic potential of the cognitive model of the process of symbolizing success. The work is based on empirical material that relates or is likely to relate to the heritage of world cinema (films that are leaders in the global box office rankings). Justifying the relevance of the study, the author of the review emphasizes the great importance of cinematic communication for international cultural relations. At the same time, the need for the study under review is predetermined by a haphazard and one-sided attitude to the phenomenon of success in Russian scientific literature. The reviewer notes that the researcher identified the relationship between the content of films distributed worldwide and the change in the value of collective and individual activity within the framework of popular culture. The reviewer describes the author’s methodology, identifies his connections with the approaches used in the field of humanitarian knowledge. The reviewer points out the originality of the cognitive model the author developed; the model is based on the division of symbols of success into sociocentric and personocentric. The reviewer notes that the author concentrates on the general value dynamics of the symbols of success, which allows him to attribute the category “success” in the aggregate of various cultural orders. The reviewer determines that the use of culturological attribution within the framework of typologization is a factor that strengthens the author’s logic. The reviewer assesses the author’s cognitive model positively; however, she observes that the extrapolation of the obtained results to some areas of communication is controversial. The reviewer concludes that the author’s developments have significant analytical and predictive potential, and can be applied to the scientific analysis of political populism.

Authors: Erdem Sultanoğlu Tuba , Ataoğlu Safinaz , Demir Kübranur , Samanci Rümeysa
Published: January 2022

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the neuropathic pain component in patients with myofascial pain syndrome, and to examine the effects of neuropathic pain on emotional status, sleep and quality of life.

Material and Methods: 73 patients with MPS in their neck or upper back region admitted to the tertiary university hospital were included. Questionnaires were administrated to the patients via face-to-face interviews, and included sociodemographic variables. The patients were evaluated for neuropathic component by DN4 questionnaires, and pain by visual analog scale (VAS). Validated questionnaires measuring emosyonel status, sleep quality and quality of life were used.

Results: Of the 73 patients, 48 (65.8%) were female and 25 (34.2%) were male. The mean age of all recruited patients was 38.2±10.6 years. According to the DN4 scale 56.2% of the patients had neuropathic pain. MPS patients were divided into two groups as those with and without neuropathic pain. VAS, BDI, and PSQI scores were significantly higher among MPS patients with neuropathic pain than among MPS patients without neuropathic pain (p<0.01).The patients with neuropathic pain had lower scores for all the parameters of the SF-36. Morever vitality, social function, mental health, and emotional role dimensions scores were significantly lower in MPS patients with neuropathic pain than MPS patients without neuropathic pain (p<0.01).

Conclusion: An appropriate diagnosis and treatment of the neuropathic pain plays an important role and can reduce the pain, improve the quality of life and sleep qulity, and decrease the level of depression in treatment of MPS.

Bahasa dan Agama Menurut Falsafah Analitik British: Respons Linguistik Melayu
Authors: Nordin Munif Zarirruddin Fikri
Published: January 2022

Dalam falsafah agama, bahasa berfungsi sebagai medium pengungkapan makna keagamaan, seperti bersifat deskriptif dan kebolehtentuan benar-salah dalam mistisisme. Dalam falsafah bahasa pula, agama merupakan salah satu latar atau konteks dalam penghasilan makna dan interpretasi yang bersifat keagamaan. Hal ini memperlihatkan simbiotisme bahasa dan agama dalam falsafah agama dan falsafah bahasa. Artikel ini membincangkan kedudukan bahasa dan agama dalam kedua-dua falsafah berkenaan dari sudut pandang dua ahli falsafah abad ke-20 aliran falsafah analitik British, iaitu Hick dan Ayer, dengan objektif (1) mengenal pasti titik pertemuan bahasa dan agama dalam falsafah, (2) memperincikan garis sempadan bahasa dan agama mengikut pembahagian falsafah bahasa dan falsafah agama, dan (3) mengupas respons linguistik Melayu terhadap produk pemikiran falsafah analitik British. Fokus analisis ialah metafizik. Penghujahan metafizik dianalisis berdasarkan fungsi bahasa dalam falsafah agama yang Hick (1990) ketengahkan dalam Philosophy of Religion, dan juga latar agama dalam falsafah bahasa yang Ayer (1936) kemukakan menerusi Language, Truth and Logic.
Kaedah Visual dan Penggolongan Makna Akhiran -an {an}
Authors: Hirobumi Sato Rahmat , Adnan Norulhudda
Published: January 2022

Kajian pedagogi dalam morfologi bahasa Melayu telah lama dijalankan sejak abad ke-19. Dalam hal ini, Boer (1951) dalam buku tatabahasanya mengemaskan penggolongan makna akhiran -an {-an} kepada tiga golongan besar dalam bahasa Melayu. Sejak tahun 1980-an hasil analisis makna akhiran -an dikemukakan secara terperinci di indonesia dan di Malaysia. Penulis membandingkan tiga buah buku tatabahasa tokoh bahasa Melayu, iaitu Asmah (2009), Harimurti (1996), dan Nik Safiah et al. (2010). Akan tetapi, hasil kajian ini mendapati pelbagai makna akhiran berkenaan tidak dikaitkan antara satu sama lain. Artikel ini menggunakan penyusunan semula logik terhadap penggolongan makna dengan memperkenalkan empat penggolongan makna akhiran -an {-an} bersama-sama dengan idea matematik asas, himpunan dan tindanan, untuk mengelaskannya, iaitu i. “satuan himpunan”, ii. “keserupaan”, iii. “sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan proses perbuatan”, dan iV. “pengaruh bahasa sukuan di indonesia”. Dengan penggolongan ini, hubungan antara pelbagai makna akhiran -an {-an} dapat diperjelas dengan mudah. Kaedah yang diusahakan oleh pengkaji asing ini merupakan hasil pembelajaran pelajar asing yang belajar bahasa Melayu untuk meringankan beban hafalan melalui kamus dan tatabahasa buku teks.

The purpose of this study is to determine the significance of Library Hour Program towards word reading performance of public elementary grade five pupils. The true experimental design used consisted of experimental and control groups in which experimental group received the intervention while the control group had no intervention given. The instrument used was the standardized Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) developed by the Department of Education- Bureau of Learning Delivery to measure the significance of Library Hour Program in improving pupils word reading levels. T-test were carried out to answer the research objectives of the study. There were 72 grade five pupils who participated in the experimental group. Pupils that can read at-level text was determined through the Group Screening Test. The pupils with scores less than fourteen (14) out of twenty (20) literal, inferential, and critical questions were subjected to pretest and posttest and served as the experimental group in the study. The pretest and posttest determined the reading level of pupils whether under frustration, instructional, and independent. Phil-IRI graded passages were used in this study. These graded passages were given by the Department of Education and were used to assess the reading performances of Grade Three to Six in the elementary grades nationwide. The library hour as a reading intervention program was specifically used in Alfonso Lista Central School as it was included in their daily classroom programs for thirty (30) minutes a day. After five months of conducting the intervention program, the findings revealed that during the pretest, pupils were assessed under the Instructional level. It also showed that during the posttest, pupils were found to be under the Independent Level. The results showed that Library Hour as an intervention program to improve the word reading of grade five pupils was effective.

Published: January 2022

Pandemic COVID-19 and the enforcement of Movement Control Order (MCO) have created new norms in society. The re-opening of the private kindergarten during this MCO period was met with a different reaction from the entrepreneurs. The objective of this study is to analyse the level of compliance with the standard operating procedures (SOPs) to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This study involved 50 private kindergartens in Selangor. The assessment is based on two perspectives: feedback from kindergarten management and the trainee teachers. The findings showed that compliance levels were high with the mean score of 4.260 (before operation) and 4.278 (during operation) given by the operators on a scale of 1 – 5, while trainee teachers gave a mean score of 4.212. Before its operation, kindergartens have prioritized three safety measures: ensuring parents were free from COVID-19 (mean 4.64), monitoring teachers’ health (mean 4.52), and tightening the rules for visitors (mean 4.38). During its operation, kindergartens have improved their safety measures especially in prohibiting symptomatic children to kindergarten (mean 4.54), providing adequate hand sanitizer (mean 4.44), enforcing the use of face masks (mean 4.44), making isolation towards symptomatic children (mean 4.40), carrying out comprehensive disinfection activities (mean 4.36), and ensuring parents to cooperate accordingly (mean 4.32). The observations of trainee teachers have also supported these claims. According to the teacher trainees, the lower scores concerned around ensuring children to wear a face mask at all times (mean 3.72), prohibiting children from sharing personal equipment (mean 3.89), prohibiting physical contact among children (mean 3.96); conducting learning group activities (mean 3.98), and tracking close contacts of symptomatic children (mean 4.02). The high level of compliance indicates the entrepreneur's determination in ensuring that private kindergartens can operate properly and safely. The results of this study have a significant impact on the role of the relevant authorities to provide training and financial assistance to private kindergartens. Such support is essential for them to offer quality services in the interests of child education and safety.

Synthetic phonics, the digital humanities, and the teaching of beginning learners of English
Authors: Mohd Don Zuraidah , Knowles Gerald Owen
Published: January 2022

There is a rich research literature on phonics and related topics such as phonemic awareness and measurements of the benefits of phonics for later success in reading. What seems to be missing is a theoretically sound account of phonics itself as a discipline. This paper traces the way the present situation came about, and restores phonics to its true place between the study of spoken language and reading studies. The problems caused by the present situation fall on the shoulders of teachers in the classroom, who may be required to teach using phonic methods without being adequately guided on what they are supposed to do. Taking a teacher-centred “digital humanities” approach to phonics, the paper proposes a device that could provide the teacher with phonic information about English words much as a dictionary provides their meanings.

Data collection techniques used include; (a) participatory observation, (b) interviews, (c) documentation studies, (d) literature. The data analysis technique used in this research was the qualitative data analysis technique. The results showed that lecturers used online media, such as Zoom Cloud Meeting, Google Meet, Google Classroom, Telegram, and WhatsApp. The use of online media in online learning does not necessarily run smoothly. There are constraints faced by both lecturers and students, such as unstable internet signals and providers in each region, data package costs, delivery of teaching materials, and human resources (HR) who are not yet technologically literate. There is a good impact in the use of e-learning media during the work from home period that students and lecturers feel under conditions and pressures to evolve in the advancement of the use of technology and communication. The bad impact is boredom among new students because they cannot feel the college atmosphere by meeting other students face to face.

Published: January 2022

Internet of Things (IoT) envisions a future in which physical objects and the digital world can communicate. Technical communications among appropriate information can create new categories of applications and services. Today, IoT is considered a suitable infrastructure technology for low-range wireless home control systems. In fact, smart homes and buildings provide a wide range of services, applications, equipment, networks, and systems that work together to provide an intelligent environment in areas such as security, control, communications, leisure, and comfort. The purpose of this research is an implementation of an IoT-based Smart home system that provides remote access control for disabled people to open the door lock and turn on or off the lights. Besides, this IoT-based smart home system was extended with two 2-Channel Relay Modules, which assign four keys to direct different components. In addition, this system offers a safe home environment that monitored any hazardous gas leakage, smoke, and fire, or unauthorized person. The motion sensor with a dual purpose has a bright feature that enables two applications: Energy Management System and Security System. Moreover, there are three options for users to open the door for authorized people: Using the Android application on their smartphones, voice command via Google assistant, and the "Unlock door pattern." Authorized people such as friends and family, caregivers, or dog walkers, can unlock the door by physically entering the key pattern via embedded switch buttons (doorbell, B, and C). The camera in this project gets activated as soon as someone rings the doorbell; a snapshot of the current situation behind the door will be sent to the registered user with a notification email. If the entered key pattern does not match the "Unlock door pattern," the alarm system will be triggered. The significance of this research is to provide a solution to help disabled people to live as conveniently and safely as possible in their homes.

Shock Acceleration with Oblique and Turbulent Magnetic Fields
Authors: Xu Siyao , Lazarian Alex
Published: January 2022

We investigate shock acceleration in a realistic astrophysical environment with density inhomogeneities. The turbulence induced by the interaction of the shock precursor with upstream density fluctuations amplifies both upstream and downstream magnetic fields via the turbulent dynamo. The dynamo-amplified turbulent magnetic fields (a) introduce variations of shock obliquities along the shock face, (b) enable energy gain through a combination of shock drift and diffusive processes, (c) give rise to various spectral indices of accelerated particles, (d) regulate the diffusion of particles both parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field, and (e) increase the shock acceleration efficiency. Our results demonstrate that upstream density inhomogeneities and dynamo amplification of magnetic fields play an important role in shock acceleration, and thus shock acceleration depends on the condition of the ambient interstellar environment. The implications on understanding radio spectra of supernova remnants are also discussed.
Gas Dynamics in the Star-forming Region G18.148–0.283: Is It a Manifestation of Two Colliding Molecular Clouds?
Authors: Dey Jyotirmoy , Pandian Jagadheep D. , Lal Dharam Vir
Published: January 2022

We report the results obtained from a multiwavelength study of the H ii region G18.148−0.283 using the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope at 1350 MHz, along with other archival data. In addition to the radio continuum emission, we have detected the H169α and H170α radio recombination lines toward G18.148−0.283 using a correlator bandwidth of 100 MHz. The moment-1 map of the ionized gas reveals a velocity gradient of approximately 10 km s−1 across the radio continuum peaks. The 12CO (J = 3−2) molecular line data from the CO High-Resolution Survey (COHRS) also show the presence of two velocity components that are very close to the velocities detected in the ionized gas. The spectrum and position–velocity diagram from CO emission reveal molecular gas at an intermediate-velocity range bridging the velocity components. We see mid-infrared absorption and far-infrared emission establishing the presence of a filamentary infrared dark cloud, the extent of which includes the targeted H ii region. The magnetic field inferred from dust polarization is perpendicular to the filament within the H ii region. We have also identified two O9 stars and 30 young stellar objects toward the target using data from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS), and Galactic Legacy Infrared Midplane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE). Cumulatively, this suggests that the region is the site of a cloud–cloud collision that has triggered massive star formation and subsequent formation of an H ii region.

We present nimbus: a hierarchical Bayesian framework to infer the intrinsic luminosity parameters of kilonovae (KNe) associated with gravitational-wave (GW) events, based purely on nondetections. This framework makes use of GW 3D distance information and electromagnetic upper limits from multiple surveys for multiple events and self-consistently accounts for the finite sky coverage and probability of astrophysical origin. The framework is agnostic to the brightness evolution assumed and can account for multiple electromagnetic passbands simultaneously. Our analyses highlight the importance of accounting for model selection effects, especially in the context of nondetections. We show our methodology using a simple, two-parameter linear brightness model, taking the follow-up of GW190425 with the Zwicky Transient Facility as a single-event test case for two different prior choices of model parameters: (i) uniform/uninformative priors and (ii) astrophysical priors based on surrogate models of Monte Carlo radiative-transfer simulations of KNe. We present results under the assumption that the KN is within the searched region to demonstrate functionality and the importance of prior choice. Our results show consistency with simsurvey—an astronomical survey simulation tool used previously in the literature to constrain the population of KNe. While our results based on uniform priors strongly constrain the parameter space, those based on astrophysical priors are largely uninformative, highlighting the need for deeper constraints. Future studies with multiple events having electromagnetic follow-up from multiple surveys should make it possible to constrain the KN population further.

In this study, we present an observational analysis of a coronal hole (CH) observed on 2018 November 1 and solar wind (SW) that originated from it, using the Solar Dynamics Observatory, the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations at 68 solar radii, ACE and WIND data at 1 au, and interplanetary scintillation (IPS) observations from 0.2 to 1 au. The CH-originated SW stream was observed by L1 on 2018 November 4 and by PSP on 2018 November 15. We examined the CH for nine Carrington Rotations (CR) and find that the SW stream to reach L1 varied from one CR to other. We find that the pressure, temperature, and magnetic fields increase as the speed of the SW increases and the density decreases with distance. We noticed suprathermal particle enhancement at and after the stream interaction region in both PSP and L1 observations, but the enhancement lasted longer in PSP compared to measurements made at L1. The multiple-rotation observations of the CH imply that any differences in observations between PSP and spacecraft at L1 are due to the radial evolution of the solar wind stream rather than of the CH or the source plasma itself. In addition, IPS measured the radio signal irregularities driven by the SW. Furthermore, we employed a standard analytical model to extrapolate the magnetic field at larger heights. We find that the extrapolated magnetic field at 68 R
⊙ and 1 au matches well with the magnetic field measured by PSP and OMNI.
Warm Absorbers in the Radiation-driven Fountain Model of Low-mass Active Galactic Nuclei

To investigate the origins of the warm absorbers in active galactic nuclei (AGNs), we study the ionization-state structure of the radiation-driven fountain model in a low-mass AGN and calculate the predicted X-ray spectra utilizing the spectral synthesis code Cloudy. The spectra show many absorption and emission line features originating in the outflowing ionized gas. The O viii 0.654 keV lines are produced mainly in the polar region much closer to the supermassive black hole than the optical narrow-line regions. The absorption measure distribution of the ionization parameter (ξ) at a low inclination spreads over 4 orders of magnitude in ξ, indicating the multiphase ionization structure of the outflow, as actually observed in many type 1 AGNs. We compare our simulated spectra with the high energy resolution spectrum of the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4051. The model reproduces slowly outflowing (a few hundred kilometers per second) warm absorbers. However, the faster components with a few thousand kilometers per second observed in NGC 4051 are not reproduced. The simulation also underproduces the intensity and width of the O viii 0.654 keV line. These results suggest that the ionized gas launched from subparsec or smaller regions inside the torus, which is not included in the current fountain model, must be an important ingredient of the warm absorbers with a few thousand kilometers per second. The model also consistently explains the Chandra/HETG spectrum of the Seyfert 2 galaxy Circinus.

Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are considered to originate from core collapse of massive stars. It is believed that the afterglow property is determined by the density of the material in the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM). Therefore, the circumburst density can be used to distinguish between an interstellar wind, n(R) ∝ R
−k
, and a constant-density medium (ISM),

. Previous studies with different afterglow samples show that the circumburst medium of GRBs is neither simply supported by an interstellar wind nor completely favored by an ISM. In this work, our new sample consists of 39 GRBs with smoothly onset bump-like features in early X-ray afterglows, in which 20 GRBs have the redshift measurements. By using a smooth broken power-law function to fit the bumps of X-ray light curves, we derive the FWHM as the feature width (ω), as well as the rise and decay timescales of the bumps (T

r
and T

d
). The correlations between the timescales of X-ray bumps are similar to those found previously in the optical afterglows. Based on the fireball forward shock model of the thin shell case, we obtain the distribution of the electron spectral index p and further constrain the medium density distribution index k. The new inferred k is found to be concentrated at 1.0, with a range from 0.2 to 1.8. This finding is consistent with previous studies. The conclusion of our detailed investigation for X-ray afterglows suggests that the ambient medium of the selected GRBs is not homogeneous, i.e., neither ISM nor the typical interstellar wind.

Many massive early-type galaxies host central radio sources and hot X-ray atmospheres indicating the presence of radio-mechanical active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. The duty cycle and detailed physics of the radio-mode AGN feedback is still a matter of debate. To address these questions, we present 1–2 GHz Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array radio observations of a sample of the 42 nearest optically and X-ray brightest early-type galaxies. We detect radio emission in 41/42 galaxies. However, the galaxy without a radio source, NGC 499, has recently been detected at lower frequencies by the Low-Frequency Array. Furthermore, 27/42 galaxies in our sample host extended radio structures and 34/42 sources show environmental interactions in the form of X-ray cavities. We find a significant correlation between the radio flux density and the largest linear size of the radio emission and between the radio power and the luminosity of the central X-ray point source. The central radio spectral indices of the galaxies span a wide range of values, with the majority of the systems having steep spectra and the rest flat spectra. These results are consistent with AGN activity, where the central radio sources are mostly switched on, thus the duty cycle is very high. Seven out of 14 galaxies with pointlike radio emission (Fanaroff–Riley Class 0; FR 0) also show X-ray cavities indicating that, despite the lack of extended radio structures at 1–2 GHz, these AGNs do launch jets capable of inflating lobes and cavities.
Mate choice errors may contribute to slow spread of an invasive Eurasian longhorn beetle in North America

Tetropium fuscum (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is a Eurasian longhorn beetle and forest pest that first became invasive to Nova Scotia, Canada around 1990. In the time since its introduction, T. fuscum has spread only about 150 km from its point of introduction. In its invasive range, T. fuscum co-exists with its congener Tetropium cinnamopterum. Although they are ecologically similar species, T. fuscum tends to infest healthier trees and has a smaller host range than T. cinnamopterum. If they successfully interbreed, this could lead to hybrid individuals that are more problematic than either parent species. On the other hand, if T. fuscum can make mating errors in the field, but is not producing hybrid offspring, then this waste of mating resources could help explain the slow spread of T. fuscum in North America. We conducted no-choice and choice mating experiments between T. fuscum and T. cinnamopterum males and females and determined that both T. fuscum and T. cinnamopterum males make mate-choice errors with heterospecific females in a laboratory setting. Our results suggest that mating errors may play a role in the slow spread of T. fuscum in North America.
