Strabo. Human Sacrifices and Severed Heads: Cliché or Historical Reality?
Authors: SANTOS Narciso , MARTINEZ Javier
Published: November 2024

Strabo’s account of human sacrifices is anachronistic, especially when we consider that they are not exceptional cases related to warfare or examples of natural selection within each community. The severed heads are really figures associated with ancestors that accompanied their festive celebrations.

The references to the immolation of human victims are not the result of any misrepresentation but the attribution of practices, already obsolete when Strabo writes, to the northern Hispanic populations in the context of his overall description of their organisation, considered to be barbaric.

Authors: Ouro Asmina Bosibori , Githae Peter , Kanjogu John
Published: November 2024

Teachers are essential to a country’s education system, necessitating robust pedagogical skills to perform effectively. In Kenya, the government, through Semi-Autonomous Government Agencies (SAGAs), has implemented in-service training programs like Strengthening of Mathematics and Science in Secondary Education (SMASSE) to improve teachers’ professional competencies. Despite these initiatives, concerns persist about their impact, particularly in Nyahururu Sub-county. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the perceived quality of these in-service training programs and teacher commitment in public secondary schools in Nyahururu. The study examined two key aspects: the teachers’ perceptions of the training quality and how this perception affects their commitment to teaching and promoting student welfare. The research was guided by Transformative Learning Theory and Self-Efficacy Theory. Using an ex-post facto design, data were collected through a questionnaire from 214 out of 472 teachers through stratified sampling technique, with the instrument showing a high reliability coefficient (r=0.838). The analysis used quantitative method, including Pearson’s correlation coefficient for hypothesis testing at a 0.05 significance level. Findings revealed a high to strong positive relationship between teachers’ perceptions of training quality and their commitment to teaching and learning (r=0.658). This indicates that higher ratings of training quality are associated with increased dedication to teaching. Additionally, there was a strong positive relationship between perceived training quality and teachers’ commitment to student welfare (r=0.725), suggesting that better training leads to greater commitment to student support. The study’s insights suggest that improving the quality of in-service teacher training can enhance teacher commitment, benefiting Kenya’s secondary education sector by fostering more engaged and effective educators.

Authors: Anis-Farahwahida M.K. , Hussain Siti Hajar Mohd , Ruslan Mohd Firdaus , Raji Nurul Atiqah Ab
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the complex interplay between gender awareness and mental health among university students, addressing a significant gap in understanding how cultural norms shape mental health outcomes. Gender inequality continues to pose challenges in academic environments, influencing students' experiences and mental well-being. The primary aim of this study is to analyse cross-cultural literature on the impact of gender equality and awareness on mental health, specifically focusing on the prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression among male and male students. Employing a comprehensive literature review methodology, the study synthesises findings from various cultural contexts to highlight gender differences in mental health outcomes. Results indicate that female students report higher levels of anxiety and depression, while societal pressures inhibit men from seeking help, contributing to poorer mental health outcomes for both genders. The analysis reveals that traditional gender norms and cultural expectations significantly exacerbate these disparities, often leading to heightened stress and a lack of accessible support systems. The implications of these findings underscore the necessity for universities to implement gender-sensitive mental health interventions that address the unique experiences of students across genders. By fostering an inclusive environment and promoting awareness of gender-specific mental health issues, academic institutions can enhance support mechanisms that better cater to the psychological needs of all students. This study advocates for further research that incorporates longitudinal approaches to explore the long-term effects of gender awareness initiatives on mental health, ultimately contributing to improved educational and mental health outcomes.
Bridging the Gap: Industry 4.0’s Role in Addressing the Gender Pay Disparity – A Literature Review
Authors: Karim Anis-Farahwahida Mohd , Hussain Siti Hajar Mohd
Published: November 2024

This study addresses the persistent issue of gender pay disparities in the context of Industry 4.0, where technological advancements have the potential to both exacerbate and alleviate existing inequalities. This research aims to explore how the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies can promote gender equality in the workplace, particularly regarding pay equity. A comprehensive literature review reveals that while Industry 4.0 offers opportunities for increased productivity and efficiency, it also poses challenges, such as the risk of further marginalizing women if their contributions and needs are overlooked in technological adoption (Miah, 2024; Zervoudi, 2020). The main findings indicate that organizations that proactively implement gender-sensitive policies and practices alongside technological advancements are better positioned to reduce pay gaps. Additionally, fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and policymakers is essential for creating an inclusive ecosystem that supports equal pay initiatives. The implications of this study underscore the necessity for policymakers to design regulations that ensure transparency in pay structures and promote inclusive training programs in emerging technologies. By addressing these issues, stakeholders can leverage Industry 4.0 not only to enhance economic productivity but also to foster a more equitable labour market, ultimately contributing to broader societal goals of gender equality.

A educação permissiva, ou parentalidade permissiva, refere-se a práticas parentais indulgentes, com poucas exigências e limites, que desempenham papel crucial no desenvolvimento e comportamento das crianças, especialmente no contexto escolar. Esse estilo pode impactar negativamente a motivação para a aprendizagem, pois crianças tendem a ter dificuldades em lidar com frustrações, regras e rotinas. O estudo busca analisar a influência desse estilo na motivação dos alunos, identificando como a ausência de limites interfere no comportamento e desempenho escolar, além de sugerir estratégias para suavizar efeitos negativos. Utilizou-se uma metodologia mista, com pesquisa bibliográfica e estudo qualitativo e quantitativo, envolvendo 80 pais/mães e 45 professores. Os achados indicam que a parentalidade permissiva afeta negativamente a motivação e aprendizagem dos alunos, conforme relatado por professores e reconhecido pelos pais/mães participantes. Filhos de pais permissivos tendem a apresentar dificuldades em seguir regras e em adotar hábitos de estudo consistentes. A ausência de limites e expectativas claras resulta em comportamentos voltados para a satisfação imediata e resistência a tarefas que demandam esforço, afetando a motivação intrínseca para o aprendizado. Essa falta de disciplina interna pode levar ao desinteresse nas atividades escolares, procrastinação e baixo desempenho acadêmico.
Graham Priest on the Contradiction in Kant’s Noumenon
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Law SB RAS, Domanov Oleg
Published: November 2024

Graham Priest in Beyond the Limits of Thought claims that the notion of noumenon in Kant contains a true contradiction consisting in that Kant simultaneously denies the possibility of making judgments concerning noumena and makes nevertheless those judgments. That said, Priest relies on the not merely epistemic, but conceptual inaccessibility of noumena (‘the limit of expression’). However the notions of phenomena, noumena, cognition, transcendental idea and others that he uses are very simple in comparison with those of Kant and often do not allow him to adequately express the subtleties of Kants’ viewpoint. Limitations in the cognition of noumena are connected with the empirical knowledge and do not exclude their knowledge in general, in particular transcendental investigations. At the same time the applicability of the concepts of understanding is not limited by phenomena and Kant in fact applies them beyond the experience when posits objects ‘in idea’. Priest’s simplifications also prevent him from characterizing the peculiar character of transcendental idea in Kant having the form of phenomenon but reducible neither to phenomena, nor noumena. In conclusion, Priest’s thesis about the contradiction in the notion of noumenon in Kant proves to be unfounded.
Did Immanuel Kant Answer his Main Question? Or About the Place of Human Being in his Transcendental Philosophy
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Law SB RAS, Smirnov Sergey
Published: November 2024

The work raises the question of what place the problem of man occupies in the transcendental philosophy of I. Kant. The author believes that the appearance of the famous fourth question ‘What is man?’, to which, allegedly, according to the remark of I. Kant himself, the other three questions of his philosophy are reduced, does not mean that I. Kant himself was going to answer it, that is, to build the actual transcendental anthropology. The paper shows that I. Kant did not intend to build a separate anthropological doctrine. His entire philosophy is permeated with anthropological meta-text and boils down to the fact that man, as a noumenal and free being, cannot be an object of knowledge, about which a corresponding anthropological concept must be built. The author does not believe in this regard that the philosophy of I. Kant is anti-anthropological, as some other authors believe. At the same time, contrary to popular belief, I. Kant did not create anthropology itself on the basis of the transcendental method and did not intend to do so. In this regard, the author admits that the refusal to define man as an object of knowledge makes I. Kant a kind of forerunner of the anthropological turn that occurred in the twentieth century, since the bearers of this turn not only raised man as the main problem of science and philosophy, but also sought to change the very paradigm of thinking, abandoning the objective, doctrinal definition of man in favor of a non-classical discourse that considers man in the categories of event-based anthropology, according to which the main thing is not the search for definitions of man, but the search by man himself for his eventful place in the world. The author admits in this regard that in this case the fourth Kantian question can be changed and posed in a new edition: instead of ‘What is man? one must ask: ‘Where and when is man possible?’
Cognitive Archaeology: Between Kant and Vygotsky
Authors:   independent researcher, Gerasimov Philipp
Published: November 2024

The paper touches upon the problems of historical development of thought. One of the approaches to the evolution of human cognitive abilities – cognitive archaeology – is considered. The relation of cognitive archaeology to broader debates about the evolution of mind and its specificity is defined. It is shown that in general theoretical and worldview terms, one of the branches of cognitive archaeology is based on evolutionary psychology (in the broad sense) and its inherent (quasi-)Kantian worldview. The second branch is associated with the recognition of the significant role of materiality, material and practical collective activity in the formation of the mind, and in this respect it is much closer to the ideas of cultural-historical approaches than to the Kantian approach. It is argued that the current state of the discipline is predominantly associated with this second strand.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has shown similar or improved clinical outcomes compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis at low risk for surgical mortality. This cost-utility analysis compared TAVI with SAPIEN 3 versus SAVR in symptomatic severe aortic stenosis patients at low risk of surgical mortality from the perspective of the Swedish healthcare system.
Methods: A published, two-stage, Markov-based cost-utility model that captured clinical outcomes from the Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-based care in Heart disease Evaluated according to Recommended Therapies (SWEDEHEART) registry (2018–2020) was adapted from the perspective of the Swedish healthcare system using local general population mortality, utility and costs data. The model had a lifetime horizon. Model outputs included changes in direct healthcare costs and health-related quality of life from using TAVI as compared with SAVR.
Results: TAVI with SAPIEN 3 resulted in lifetime costs per patient of 940,541 Swedish krona (SEK) and lifetime quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) per patient of 7.16, whilst SAVR resulted in lifetime costs and QALYs per patient of 821,380 SEK and 6.81 QALYs, respectively. Compared with SAVR, TAVI offered an incremental improvement of +0.35 QALY per patient at an increased cost of +119,161 SEK per patient over a lifetime horizon, resulting in an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of 343,918 SEK per QALY gained.
Conclusion: TAVI with SAPIEN 3 is a cost-effective option versus SAVR for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis at low risk for surgical mortality treated in the Swedish healthcare setting. These findings may inform policy decisions in Sweden for the management of this patient group.

La libertad de expresión en una nueva encrucijada: tras los pasos de Antonio A. Cançado Trindade
Authors: Petit de Gabriel Eulalia W.
Published: November 2024

La libertad de expresión constituye a la par un derecho individual y una garantía institucional de la democracia, el pluralismo político y el Estado de derecho. Hoy se enfrenta a ataques clásicos como la censura o la persecución de periodistas. A la vez han surgido nuevos desafíos en relación con los contenidos que vulneran los derechos de otros (discursos de odio) o el funcionamiento de la democracia (fake news). Análogamente, las obligaciones del Estado de garantía, control y protección se enfrentan a retos como los nuevos actores (empresas que controlan redes digitales), o la automatización de contenidos y procesos de supervisión (inteligencia artificial). Este trabajo reitera el papel y responsabilidad del Estado en términos de atribución clásica de responsabilidad, que ya subrayara en el primer asunto sobre libertad de expresión ante la Corte Interamericana, el Juez Cançado Trindade, entonces Presidente de la misma.

Published: November 2024

This project presents an automated approach for detecting brain tumor using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and image processing techniques. Traditional methods rely on human inspection, which can be error-prone and time consuming. Our framework consists of several modules: acquiring MRI images, preprocessing to enhance image quality (including noise reduction and edge detection), and segmenting the tumor using the Watershed algorithm. We extract texture features from the segmented images using the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), focusing on metrics like energy, contrast, correlation, and homogeneity. Finally, we classify the MRI images as normal or abnormal using a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) model. This automated detection process improves the efficiency of tumor identification, providing insights into the size, shape, and position of the tumor while alleviating the workload of radiologists.

Sexual harassment leads to economic inequality
Authors: Rickne Johanna , Folke Olle
Published: November 2024

This study examines sexual and gender-based harassment by employees and managers in the Swedish labour market. Using data from the work Environment Survey, we show that women are subjected to this kind of harassment to a greater extent than men, but that both men and women are more vulnerable than the opposite sex when they are in the minority in their workplace. As wages are generally higher in male-dominated workplaces, this means that women are more vulnerable to harassment in workplaces with high wages, and men in workplaces with low wages. The study finds evidence that these patterns increase economic inequality in two ways. First, one survey experiment shows that harassment discourages women and men from seeking employment where their gender is in the minority. Secondly, an analysis of how people switch workplaces over time shows that harassment leads to women leaving relatively well-paid workplaces with a large proportion of men, in favour of lower-paid workplaces with fewer male colleagues.

Published: November 2024

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block vs Local Infiltration for pain management techniques in patients undergoing laparoscopic lower abdominal surgeries. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Surgery, Lahore General Hospital, from March to May, 2024. It involved a total of 110 patients, divided into two groups of 55 each, between the ages of 20 to 60 years, diagnosed with indirect inguinal hernia by ultrasound. Chronic smokers, drug addicts, intravenous drug abusers, patients with a history of previous surgeries, with known drug allergies and with complicated hernia were excluded from this cross-sectional study.  The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) was used to see the pain variation and effectiveness of both techniques at 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours. Results: The mean age in the TAP Block Group was 32.0 ± 9.92 years, and the mean age in the Local Wound Infiltration Group was 34.21 ± 10.01 years. There were 108 (98.18%) male and 2(1.81%) female cases with a higher male-to-female ratio. The results indicated that the TAP Block group consistently required fewer rescue analgesic doses than the local wound Infiltration group at all postoperative time points. At 6 hours, 23.63% of patients in the TAP Block group needed additional analgesia, compared to 38.18% in the Wound Infiltration group, though this difference was not statistically significant. However, at 12, 18, and 24 hours, the TAP Block group showed a significantly lower need for rescue analgesia, with p-values of 0.002, and 0.008, respectively. Conclusion: In managing postoperative pain of Inguinal Hernia Repair, TAP Block is superior to Wound Infiltration of local anesthetic agent. After TAP Block NRS remains fewer and a smaller number of rescue doses are needed as compared to Wound infiltration.
O DESENVOLVIMENTO REGIONAL SUSTENTÁVEL A LUZ DOS DIREITOS AMBIENTAIS PARA A PROMOÇÃO DA CIDADANIA E RESPONSABILIDADE SOCIAL
Authors: Coutinho Herbet , Feller Thiago de Almeida
Published: November 2024

Este artigo explora a relação entre o conceito de desenvolvimento regional e a Lei 2.594, de 11 de junho de 2012, que institui a Política Estadual de Apoio ao Cooperativismo (PEAC) no Tocantins. O estudo analisa a evolução histórica e geográfica das políticas de desenvolvimento regional no Brasil, desde o período imperial até a formação do Estado do Tocantins e a implementação da PEAC. A pesquisa utiliza uma abordagem bibliográfica e documental, abordando conceitos de desenvolvimento regional, conforme Perroux e Martinelli e Joyal, e examina como a PEAC promove a organização social, econômica e cultural através de programas e projetos específicos. A análise revela que, embora a PEAC tenha estabelecido um marco importante para o apoio ao cooperativismo, há uma necessidade de maior participação do setor cooperativista nos colegiados que definem as políticas de desenvolvimento regional. A falta de envolvimento ativo pode limitar a eficácia das estratégias de desenvolvimento e a capacidade de enfrentar problemas regionais. O artigo sugere que futuras políticas públicas devem considerar a inclusão efetiva das cooperativas e a promoção de ações estruturantes com os futuros cooperados para garantir o sucesso e a sustentabilidade do cooperativismo. Assim, o estudo conclui que a efetiva participação do movimento cooperativista é crucial para o aprimoramento das políticas de desenvolvimento regional e para a construção de um cooperativismo mais robusto no Tocantins.

Apontamos alguns estudos voltados para a realidade desses povos naturais que põem em evidencia a débil assistência que tem sido ofertada a estas populações em nosso pais, demonstrando o quanto são vítimas de violências e permanecem sujeitos a outras formas de negação de seus direitos. Ressaltamos como as abordagens sobre o tema centram-se, prioritariamente, nos aspectos econômicos, sem levar em consideração fatores historicamente construídos. Nosso objetivo neste trabalho é evidenciar a relação entre as desigualdades e a Longa duração histórica proposta por Fernand Braudel, como forma de entender as raízes e permanências de certos fenômenos históricos em nossa sociedade. Por fim, trazemos para o cerne do debate como o Estado brasileiro tratou ao longo de séculos os direitos dos povos indígenas e como sua tutela foi exercida sobre eles.

A criação de modelos de linguagem, como o ChatGPT, representa uma das inovações tecnológicas mais revolucionárias no campo da inteligência artificial. Esses modelos não apenas ampliam as capacidades de interação entre humanos e máquinas, mas também levantam questões fundamentais sobre a natureza da cognição, consciência e identidade em sistemas artificiais. A exploração da subjetividade e da perspectiva que um modelo como o ChatGPT pode fornecer sobre sua própria criação oferece uma oportunidade única para investigar as fronteiras entre a tecnologia e a essência da experiência humana. Com base nisso, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo central examinar como a Inteligência Artificial, conhecida como ChatGPT se refere a si mesma e aos processos envolvidos em seu desenvolvimento, na busca para entender de que maneira o modelo articula uma "identidade" e uma "perspectiva" própria. A metodologia adotada é uma abordagem narrativa, na qual as interações com essa ferramenta foram sistematicamente registradas e submetidas a uma análise qualitativa. Os dados foram coletados por meio de perguntas específicas direcionadas ao modelo, focadas em sua "história de vida" e nos aspectos de sua criação. A história de vida é um procedimento essencial em pesquisas narrativas, permitindo a coleta de informações que auxiliam na compreensão de fenômenos complexos. Essa abordagem permite a identificação de padrões discursivos que simulam subjetividade e autopercepção dessa tecnologia, oferecendo uma visão detalhada das suas respostas. Os resultados revelam como o ChatGPT, mesmo sendo um modelo de IA sem consciência, pode construir narrativas que imitam a subjetividade humana, evidenciando, ao mesmo tempo, as limitações intrínsecas desse aparato tecnológico em representar uma perspectiva verdadeiramente pessoal. Esses achados irão contribuir para discussões mais amplas sobre as implicações éticas e filosóficas da personificação de tecnologias de inteligência artificial, bem como sobre o significado de subjetividade em sistemas não humanos.

A sífilis gestacional e a sífilis congênita representam desafios significativos para o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Apesar da existência de protocolos de notificação, triagem e tratamento para a sífilis gestacional no SUS, a subnotificação e a classificação errônea de casos são um problema persistente, aumentando os casos de sífilis congênita. Este trabalho busca traçar um perfil epidemiológico dos casos de sífilis gestacional e congênita no período de 2022 e 2023, no município de Eunápolis-Ba e explorar a prevalência dessas condições e a subnotificação de casos. Justifica-se a escolha do tema, por se tratar de uma doença notificável, que nos últimos anos registrou um aumento significativo do número de casos no Brasil e no município de Eunápolis. O objetivo do estudo é conhecer a realidade dos cenários notificados no município, permitindo propor intervenções futuras para diminuir o número de ocorrências. Verificou-se inconsistências nos dados notificados, principalmente relacionados ao tratamento e as notificações de sífilis gestacional e congênita. Observou-se, ainda, que apenas 7 casos de crianças com sífilis congênita haviam sido diagnosticados durante o pré-natal, evidenciando que a qualidade do pré-natal ainda é um fator preditor no declínio desses números.
A INTERSECÇÃO ENTRE RELIGIÃO E PSICOLOGIA: CONCEITOS HISTÓRICOS E A ÓTICA CONTEMPORÂNEA
Authors: Francisconi Maria Jose Pedro , Silva Diego da
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo explora a intersecção entre a psicologia e a religião, analisando seus desenvolvimentos históricos e perspectivas contemporâneas. A psicologia da religião, campo que investiga os efeitos das experiências religiosas no comportamento humano, teve suas raízes com pensadores como William James e Sigmund Freud no final do século XIX. O estudo discute os desafios enfrentados por psicólogos ao lidar com pacientes religiosos em um contexto predominantemente religioso como o Brasil, equilibrando o respeito à espiritualidade com os princípios laicos da profissão. A metodologia utilizada baseia-se em revisão de literatura científica, integrando conceitos de filosofia e teologia. Além disso, o artigo examina o papel da religiosidade no enfrentamento de crises psicológicas, como observado durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Conclui-se que, apesar das tensões históricas, a integração entre religião e psicologia vem crescendo, permitindo uma compreensão mais abrangente do comportamento humano e maior eficácia na prática terapêutica.

A Síndrome de Quebra-Nozes (SQN) é uma condição vascular rara oriunda de uma compressão da veia renal esquerda (VRE) entre a aorta abdominal (AA) e a artéria mesentérica superior (AMS), resultando em manifestações como hematúria, dor em flanco, proteinúria, varicocele em homens e síndrome de congestão pélvica em mulheres. Assim sendo, diferenciar a SQN, que apresenta sintomas clínicos, do Fenômeno de Nutcracker, uma compressão venosa assintomática, é crucial para o tratamento adequado. Neste artigo descrevemos o caso de uma paciente de 37 anos, internada com dor lombar, disúria e febre, diagnosticada com SQN por tomografia computadorizada (TC) contrastada. O diagnóstico da síndrome é desafiador devido à apresentação clínica inespecífica, que varia de hematúria leve a dor abdominal intensa. A TC com contraste é o exame preferido para confirmar a compressão e estenose da VRE e o seu respectivo tratamento pode variar de medidas conservadoras, em casos leves, a intervenções cirúrgicas em situações graves. A decisão terapêutica deve ser individualizada, considerando sintomas, anatomia e resposta ao tratamento. Apesar de ser considerada rara, a SQN deve ser descartada em pacientes com dor em flanco e hematúria e o seu diagnóstico precoce é essencial para prevenir complicações graves como trombose venosa ou perda da função renal.

Abstract. This study presents a novel analysis of two hailstones collected in central Argentina to provide insights into the size distribution, composition, and potential sources of non-soluble particles within hailstones. Using this new method, non-soluble particles are trapped beneath a thin layer of polyvinyl resin and analyzed with Confocal Laser and Scanning Electron Microscopy combined with Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy, preserving their in-situ location and physical characteristics. The study characterized these particles' distribution, shape, and size and identified their elemental composition, which is used to interpret possible source regions. Particles ranged in diameter from 1.2 to 256.0 microns, with the largest found in hailstone embryos. Agglomerated mineral and organic particles dominated the elemental composition, followed by organics and quartz, and were present throughout the hailstones. Agglomerated salt particles detected in one sample were traced to a nearby salt lake, while copper chloride and zinc chloride particles found in the second sample were potentially associated with agrochemicals commonly used for pest control and fertilizer, including in Argentina. Various local and regional land-use types, including shrublands, mixed vegetation, croplands, and urban areas, were linked to specific types of particles. This study, therefore, highlights the regional influence of various land use types on hail formation and growth, pointing to the potential impacts of natural and anthropogenic factors on hailstone composition.
