Objectives

We aimed to report our 10-year experience of treating short children born small for gestational age (SGA) by comparing the long-term growth, metabolic safety, and cost-effectiveness of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy in short children born SGA with those in rhGH-treated children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and Turner syndrome.

Methods

We performed a 10-year retrospective cohort study at King Saud University Medical City. We included children aged 3–16 years who received rhGH for GHD, SGA, or Turner syndrome for >1 year.

Results

A total of 166 children received rhGH therapy for GHD, 58 for SGA, and 16 for Turner syndrome. During the last study visit, the average height change was 21 cm for GHD children and 14 cm for children born SGA (p-value <0.001). The height SDS change was 0.84 for GHD children and 0.55 for SGA children (p-value=0.004). The average cost-effectiveness ratios for treating GHD and SGA children were USD 1,717.22 and USD 1,157.19 per centimeter gained, respectively. Moreover, the mean incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for GHD vs. SGA patients was USD 2,820.39 per centimeter gained. Dysglycemia developed in 70 patients: 43 (36.44%), 22 (40.74%), and 5 (13%) in the GHD, SGA, and Turner syndrome groups, respectively.

Conclusions

rhGH is effective in height improvement of short children. However, pursuing rhGH treatment for children born SGA requires a shared decision-making approach to balance the modest benefit of final adult height gain with the long-term metabolic effects, considering the acceptable costs on the Saudi healthcare system.
The Collective Unity of Reason in the FirstCritique
Authors: Varaschin Annapaola
Published: October 2022

Unity is a central concept in theCritique of Pure Reason, since it is only through the unifying act of our spontaneous faculties that an experience can emerge, according to Kant. However, the faculty of reason brings forth a different unity than that of the understanding: Kant characterizes the former as a collective unity, while the latter as a distributive unity. This article aims to explain the meaning of these terms, with reference to theNachlasson metaphysics and the writings on right where Kant employs them in a clearer manner. This explanation can provide a basis to understand the difference between the faculty of understanding and the faculty of reason within the firstCritique, a difference rather neglected by scholars, who have focused mainly on Kant’s distinction between sensibility and understanding.
Varying functions of the comitative prepositionábə̀in Gavar
Authors: Viljoen Melanie
Published: October 2022

The purposes of this study are to investigate and describe the varying functions of the comitative prepositionábə̀with

Throughout this paper the prepositionábə̀will be glossed in small caps with in order to reflect the fact that its meaning has extended beyond ‘with’ to a variety of other grammatical functions.

in Gavar, compare these functions with cross-linguistic observations and propose an explanation for their diachronic development. This particle has a wide variety of functions. Firstly, it is used as a preposition marking phrases with a wide range of semantic roles. Secondly, its use has extended to Noun Phrase coordination, a common occurrence cross-linguistically. Its clause linking functions include its use as a temporal/sequential marker and elaboration. Of special interest to typologists is its predicative/complementizer use. This function is not observed in nearby languages and appears to be unusual cross-linguistically. Informed by previous research on the behavior of the comitative/instrumental prepositionwithcross-linguistically, general grammaticalization principles and an analysis of the semantic links between the different functions based on shared semantic features, a semantic map/network is provided showing the possible paths of development for the various functions ofábə̀within Gavar.

Authors: Xiang Qi , Li Taihan , Zou Jiazhen , Li Guodan , Luo Yi , He Shiping , Gu Dayong
Published: October 2022

Infectious diseases have greatly affected the development of human history, owing to their unpredictable zoonotic characteristics. The recording of infectious diseases epidemic data provides information on disease transmission trends, and enables research on the risk of penitential epidemics and the mechanisms of transmission of infectious diseases. Recent years have seen a significant increase in the number of confirmed and fatal cases of COVID-19 since it became a pandemic in late 2019. Monkeypox also has potential for global transmission, because the World Health Organization (WHO) [1] reported cases of MPXV in at least 12 Countries that are not endemic for monkeypox virus. Africa and Southeast Asia appear to be the main regions where mosquito-borne diseases are epidemic, possibly because of the rainy weather in these regions in the past month. Tracking disease incidence and epidemic tendency remains imperative in these areas, although most infectious diseases appear to be dispersed and transmitted in only several areas at the moment.

Authors: Koler Božo , Urbančič Tilen , Kobale Žiga
Published: October 2022

In this work, we analyzed the quality of height transformation between the old height system SVS2000 (vertical datum Trieste) and the new height system SVS2010 (vertical datum Koper). Based on the height differences of the benchmarks between the old and the new height systems stabilised in the area of eastern Slovenia, we determined the height transformation surface for two areas of different sizes. For both areas we analyzed the influence of different interpolation methods and the influence of using height differences of benchmarks of different orders of the levelling net. We found that the quality of height transformation is satisfactory for most surveying services. We have also analyzed the quality of the height transformation based on the average height difference of the benchmarks by using the SiVis software, which is intended for the transformation of ellipsoidal heights obtained by GNSS measurements, between the old and the new height systems.
Evaluation of ERA5 reanalysis atmospheric water vapor variation in Algeria
Authors: Namaoui Houaria
Published: October 2022

In climate change context, the precipitable water vapour (PW) is key parameter of atmospheric process and dynamics and its variation is very high in space and time. It's accuracy is paramount for any geodetic or climatic study. The main objective of this study is to compute precipitable water vapour from ERA5 reanalysis for 4 stations in Algeria which have different types of climate. We opt for using integration method for different level of pressure with ERA5. The values of water vapour are also compared with radiosondes profiles. The results of this work shows good agreement with a correlation that is not less than not 0.95 and 0.70 compared as radiosondes profiles. The first results are encouraging, in particular for meteorological applications with good hope to introduce another dataset as GNSS to more understand the variation and behavior of water vapour over a long period of observation.
Potential use of textile dust in the middle layer of three-layered particleboards as an eco-friendly solution
Authors: Nemli Gökay , Odabaş-Serin Zehra , Özdemir Ferhat , Ayrılmı Nadir
Published: October 2022

Textile (cotton) dust, which is harmful to humans and the environment, is one of the largest wastes in the textile industry. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential use of this waste in high value-added materials. Physical and mechanical properties and formaldehyde emissions of the three-layered particleboards with textile (cotton) dust in the middle layer were investigated in this study. A phenol formaldehyde resin was used as the binder in particleboard production. Four different amounts of textile dust (10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%) based on the oven-dried weight of the wood were obtained from a commercial textile manufacturer as industrial waste. The density, thickness swelling, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, internal bond, and formaldehyde emissions of the produced panels were determined. The physical and mechanical properties and formaldehyde emissions of the particleboards were negatively affected, which decreased with the addition of a high amount of textile powder. At low rates, the use of textile dust in the middle layer did not significantly decrease the particleboard properties. Textile dust can be a partial solution for the raw material demand of the wood-based panel industry.
Critical Remarks on Schmitt’s Political Realism
Authors: Sferrazza Papa Ernesto C.
Published: October 2022

According to a widely accepted line of interpretation, Carl Schmitt’s political philosophy is a classic example of political realism. In this article I propose, starting with an analysis of some themes from the essay published in 1923 Die geistesgeschichtliche Lage des heutigen Parlamentarismus, to challenge this interpretation. An in-depth analysis of Schmitt’s critique of parliamentarism and identitarian democracy may, in fact, suggest that his proposal is a normative theory of political enmity.
Ideology and Idolatry
Authors: Razauskas Dainius
Published: October 2022

A series of articles has already been published in recent years by the author on the notion of cosmogony as implied by Lithuanian term for it, sutvėrimas. This polysemous term has at least three gross branches of meanings: not only the most usual ‘fencing (in, off, around)’ but also ‘coagulation, solidifying, hardening’ and ‘catching, clenching (by hand)’, and all of these meanings are reflected in traditional views of creation. However, both the very cosmogony and still more various processes of smaller scale corresponding to different meanings of sutvėrimas (and the verb sutverti) may have also negative sense, that of stagnation, hardening, stiffness, stop of the life flow. Hence the notion of freedom, conversely, as softening, thawing, melting and free flow. Therefore, human being either stays in this definitively hardened world which has become a prison to his soul or begins to loosen his grip on it and to thaw gradually himself. On the cosmic scale, this hope and objective is eschatological, and on the personal scale, soteriological, that is, aimed at deliverance and freedom which in this sense is the opposite of cosmogony. The very ‘createdness’ in its different hues then is conceived negatively, as ‘madeness’ and artificiality, as antithesis of freedom and obstacle to it. And its principal manifestations in the inner world, then, are ideology and idolatry, the two aspects of one and the same phenomenon looked at from slightly different angles. That is exactly the subject of this article (which continues two previous, “Without ground, without support” (Razauskas 2022a) and “Ideas, Ideals, and Ideologies” (Razauskas 2022b)).
Lithuanian Syllable: The Hierarchy of Syllable Constituents and Syllable Weight
Authors: Kazlauskienė Asta
Published: October 2022

The article aims to establish the hierarchy of Lithuanian syllable constituents and determine how syllables should be interpreted in terms of syllable weight. The empirical data based on 311 000 syllables show that the variety of consonants in the onset is more significant than in the coda. A vowel and a succeeding approximant form the nucleus of a prosodic syllable, which shows strong coherency between a nucleus and a coda. Therefore, a CVC syllable is interpreted as [syllable Onset [rhyme Nucleus Coda]]. The division of Lithuanian syllables into light and heavy can be based on the realization of pitch accent, and it fully coincides with the traditional classification of long and short syllables in Lithuanian linguistics. Short syllables are light, their nucleus is a short vowel, and the number of consonants in the onset and the coda is unimportant. Such syllables account for almost half of all syllables in the database of this research (45%). Long syllables are heavy, and their nucleus may consist of long vowels (30%), diphthongs (12%), or mixed diphthongs (13%). When stressed, heavy syllables are pronounced in two ways: traditionally known as “acute” and “circumflex”. The stress is not dependent on the syllable weight, as both light (short) and heavy (long) syllables can be stressed. However, it has been observed that heavy (long) syllables are stressed more often than light (short) ones. Heavily stressed syllables constitute 25%, while light stressed syllables comprise 11% of all the syllables in this research database.
Negative Connotations of the “Russian World” Concept Against the Backdrop of the Russian-Ukrainian War 2022
Authors: Starodubtseva Anastassiya
Published: October 2022

For a long time, the idea of the so-called “Russian world”, a civilization united according to linguistic, ethnocultural, and religious principles, has been the subject of numerous interdisciplinary studies. It is primarily due to the aggravation of the geopolitical situation in the sphere of Russian influence, such as Ukraine. Existing studies are devoted to historical, cultural, and philosophical aspects. However, there are still not enough linguistic ones since there is still no single definition of the essence of this phenomenon and the features of its functioning in various discourses. Today, in the scientific space, there are three main theoretical approaches to understanding the “Russian world” – civilizational, geopolitical, and religious. In this study, the task is to conceptualize the presented “Russian world” notion as well as to identify newly developed connotations in connection with the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict of 2022, utilizing semantic analysis, component, and contextual analysis methods. The media texts of the Russian-language Ukrainian media were used as the material of the study, reflecting the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and mentioning the “Russian world” concept. The study showed that the “Russian world” concept had acquired numerous negative connotations, such as “war, destruction, death”.
Influence of physicochemical variables on polymer adsorption in porous media
Authors: Herrera-Quintero Julia , Maya-Toro Gustavo , Colmenares-Vargas Kelly , Vidal-Prada Juliana , Barbosa-Trillos Dalje , Muñoz-Mazo Eduin
Published: October 2022

HPAM type polymers and modifications with ATBS (Acrylamide Tertiary Butyl Sulfonated) units are used for EOR processes. Polymer adsorption is key to the success of these processes and is affected by variables such as molecular weight, hydrolysis, salinity, and permeability of the porous medium. Nevertheless, few studies corelate the dependence of these variables with adsorption. This work presents experimental results of the influence of variables on the dynamic adsorption of different polymers using sandstone type porous media. Modified polymers show adsorption less than 10 μg/g in low permeability and Sor condition. The adsorption of modified HPAM and HPAM polymers has an inverse relationship with molecular weight and permeability. At higher molecular weight, fewer pores are accessed due to their hydrodynamic radius and lower permeability, greater mechanical and hydrodynamic retention. Water salinity and hardness are directly related to adsorption, with less influence for modified HPAM.

Authors: González-De León Marco Antonio , Di Scipio-Cimetta Sabrina
Published: October 2022

La matriz energética mundial está basada en combustibles fósiles que emiten enormes cantidades de GEI causantes del cambio climático, con graves consecuencias sobre nuestro planeta. En las últimas dos décadas, las energías renovables han aumentado su participación para mitigar los efectos sobre el clima. En este trabajo, se evalúa el rol del gas natural en la transición energética, considerando políticas energéticas e innovaciones tecnológicas. Fue aplicado el método de Delphi contando con expertos en energía y ambiente. Los resultados muestran tres factores clave: gas natural como combustible fósil más amigable con el ambiente, energías renovables no podrán satisfacer 100% de la demanda y alta variabilidad del suministro eléctrico basado en energías eólica y solar. Además, se visualizan dos oportunidades relevantes: crecimiento del consumo de energía y expansión del negocio del GNL. Estos hallazgos permiten señalar que el gas natural fungirá como combustible-puente en la transición hacia energías más limpias.
A Reparameterized Weighted Lindley Distribution: Properties, Estimation and Applications
Authors: Mota Alex , Ramos Pedro Luiz , Ferreira Paulo , Tomazella Vera , Louzada Francisco
Published: October 2022

In this paper, we discuss several mathematical properties and estimation methods for a reparameterized version of the weighted Lindley (RWL) distribution. The RWL distribution can be particularly useful for modeling reliability (survival) data with bathtub-shaped or increasing hazard rate function. The inferential procedure to obtain the parameter estimates is conducted via the maximum likelihood approach considering random right-censoring. Extensive numerical simulations are carried out to investigate and evaluate the performance of the proposed estimation method. Finally, the potentiality of the RWL model is analyzed by employing two real data sets.
Influence Diagnostics for Correlated Binomial Regression Models: An Application to a Data Set on High-Cost Health Services Occurrence
Authors: Diniz Carlos Alberto Ribeiro , Pires Rubiane Maria , Paraíba Carolina Costa Mota , Ferreira Paulo Henrique
Published: October 2022

This paper considers a frequentist perspective to deal with the class of correlated binomial regression models (Pires & Diniz, 2012), thus providing a new approach to analyze correlated binary response variables. Model parameters are estimated by direct maximization of the log-likelihood function. We also consider a diagnostic analysis under the correlated binomial regression model setup, which is performed considering residuals based on predictive values and deviance residuals (Cook & Weisberg, 1982) to check for model assumptions, and global in˛uence measure based on case-deletion (Cook, 1977) to detect in˛uential observations. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis is carried out to detect possible in˛uential observations that could a˙ect the inferential results. This is done using local in˛uence metrics (Cook, 1986) with case-weight, response, and covariate perturbation schemes. A simulation study is conducted to assess the frequentist properties of model parameter estimates and check the performance of the considered diagnostic metrics under the correlated binomial regression model. A data set on high-cost claims made to a private health care provider in Brazil is analyzed to illustrate the proposed methodology.
Exponentiality Test Based on Progressively Type-II Censored Data Via Extension of Cumulative Tsallis Divergence
Authors: Ahrari Vahideh , Habibirad Arezou
Published: October 2022

In this article, first new divergences are defined by using Tsallis divergence and a measure of discrepancy between equilibriums associated with two distributions is proposed. Then utilizing the progressively Type-II censored sample, we construct goodness of fit tests for exponentiality based on the estimation of proposed divergences. To investigate the performance of the mentioned tests, Monte Carlo simulations are performed. In order to study the power, the alternatives are considered according to the failure rate function. The powers of the proposed tests are then compared with other existing tests. As regards the last step of the study, in order to explain the use of the proposed tests, three examples are presented.
Some Inferential Problems from Log Student’s T-distribution and its Multivariate Extension
Authors: Olosunde Akinlolu , Olofintuade Sylvester
Published: October 2022

Assumption of normality in statistical analysis had been a common practice in many literature, but in the event where small sample is obtainable, then normality assumption will lead to erroneous conclusion in the statistical analysis. Taking a large sample had been a serious concern in practice due to various factors. In this paper, we further derived some inferential properties for log student’s t-distribution (simply log-t distribution) which makes it more suitable as substitute to log-normal when carrying out analysis on right-skewed small sample data. Mathematical and Statistical properties such as the moments, cumulative distribution function, survival function, hazard function and log-concavity are derived. We further extend the results to case of multivariate log-t distribution; we obtained the marginal and conditional distributions. The parameters estimation was done via maximum likelihood estimation method, consequently its best critical region and information matrix were derived in order to obtain the asymptotic confidence interval. The applications of log-t distribution and goodness-of-fit test was carried out on two dataset from literature to show when the model is most appropriate.
Additive Outliers in Open-Loop Threshold Autoregressive Models: A Simulation Study
Authors: Calderon Sergio , Ordoñez Callamad Daniel
Published: October 2022

The effect of additive outliers is studied on an adapted non-linearity test and a robust estimation method for autoregressive coefficients in open-loop TAR (threshold autoregressive) models. Through a Monte Carlo experiment, the power and size of the non-linearity test are studied. Regarding the estimation method, the bias and ratio of mean squared errors are compared between the robust estimator and least squares. Simulation exercises are carried out for different percentages of contamination and the proportion of observations on each model regime. Furthermore, the approximation of the univariate normal distribution to the empirical distribution of estimated coefficients is analyzed along with the coverage level of asymptotic confidence intervals for the parameters. Results show that the adapted non-linearity test does not have size distortions, and it has a superior power than its least-squares counterpart when additive outliers are present. On the other hand, the robust estimation method for the autoregressive coefficients has a better mean squared error than least-squares when this type of observations are present. Lastly, the use of the non-linearity test and the estimation method are illustrated through a real example.

The importance of sustainable leadership among company directors in the audio-visual sector in Spain: a cultural, ethical, and legal perspective
Authors: Blas Julio , Riera-Roca Magalí , Bulmer Elena
Published: October 2022

Business sectors are generally evolving towards the adoption of models of sustainable practice, but is this also true in the specific audio-visual sector? This question leads us to examine whether sustainable practices are carried out in the image and sound sector, using sector business leadership as a starting point. Adopting a long-term perspective has helped companies survive difficult times, such as seemingly ever more frequent economic crises and recessions, as well as to overcome the current COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. Together with review of appropriate literature, the study aims to analyse the perception of managers in the audio-visual sector regarding styles of leadership in their organizations, through the Bee and Locust Sustainable Leadership framework that Avery and Bergsteiner developed in 2011. A quantitative study was carried out based on the analysis of the responses given by fifty middle and senior managers from the audio-visual sector in Spain who answered a 54-poit questionnaire. The findings yielded interesting results. Organizations within the audio-visual sector were found to display elements of both bee and locust leadership styles. The results showed that idea contribution and teamwork were valued by the managers interviewed. Furthermore, considerable importance was attached to the need to implement continuous training and the development of corresponding professional careers in companies. Overall, the results showed that there was a clear need for companies in the audio-visual sector to put greater effort into promoting and successfully achieving sustainable practices at the operational level.
Teleología natural y acción

Published: October 2022

Two ethical-social paradigms coexisted in the early Middle Ages: antifeminism and profeminism. The first one expresses the "masculine teleology of creation": the biological primacy belongs to man and therefore, woman is subordinated to him from ontological, psychological and social viewpoints. The second paradigm expresses the "feminine teleology of creation" with its philosophical and juridical repercussions.

Identidad individual y personalidad jurídica
Authors: Aymerich Ignacio
Published: October 2022

According to some Foucault' proposals, this paper deals with the historical constitution of individual identity forms through juridic practices, concretely the results of the transformation of modern law from the state monopolization of the legislative functions, a process considered to be based on social contract theories -the constitution of social order according to a successive scheme: from the pre-social individuals to supra-individual society. The juridical individualism derives from this model, and the critical approach on it is made from the contemporary sciences of human behavior.
Hacia una concepción no atomista de la identidad personal
Authors: Cuypers Stefaan
Published: October 2022

This paper argues that the classical debate on personal identity in analytical philosophy implicitly rests upon the untenable doctrine of philosophical atomism. Both the Cartesian Ego Theory and the Empiricist Bundle Theory are built upon the indefensible epistemological presupposition that the self is a private object of introspective knowledge. It is suggested that Peter Strawson's descriptive metaphysics of the person as a public agent contains the essential preliminaries for a non-atomistic view of personal identity.

Gracián, Peirce: conceptos, signos
Authors: Forastieri-Braschi Eduardo
Published: October 2022

Gracián's "conceit" and Peirce's "interpretant" maintain a logical-and-rhetorical agreement that recurs in the history of ideas. Ciceronian humanism and Scotist realism were instrumental for Gracián's conception: they were part of the curricular requirements for XVII century Jesuits. Likewise, Peirce's New List and his revival of "Speculative Rhetoric" partake of this legacy. Their innovations hinge on the category of Relation and on its inferential and speculative potential for thought.
El índice en la filosofía de Peirce
Authors: Fumagalli Armando
Published: October 2022

In the first part of the article the author explains the importance of Peirce's reflection about the index as a crucial point of the reformulation of his entire philosophical system that took place around 1885. Then he examines the role of the index in Peircean semiotics and linguistics, where the index clearly shows -in spite of the difficulties deriving from Peirce's acceptance of some Kantian gnoseological thesis- the necessary and close connexion between language and reality.
De Kant a Peirce, cien años después. A través de K.O. Apel
Authors: Ortiz de Landázuri Carlos
Published: October 2022

Karl-Otto Apel reconstructs the "linguistic turn" of contemporary philosophy as the passage from Kant to Peirce a hundred years before.

La información y el regalo de Peirce al mundo
Authors: Debrock Guy
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this paper is to show that the concept of information can be regarded as a fundamental ontological category. An attempt is made to show that many conceptual difficulties in ontological and epistemological discourse have their roots in a static ontology. In the second part an attempt is made to show how an alternative philosophy of 'event' as interpreted in the light of Peirce's New List of Categories might provide the key to a reconstruction of the world which withstands the lure of dualism.
El realismo escolástico de los universales en Peirce
Authors: Beuchot Mauricio
Published: October 2022

This study is an attempt to clarify Peirce's position as to the problem of universals by contrasting it with that of Duns Scotus. It aims to show that even thourgh Peirce claimed that he was following Scotus, there are certain marked differences between the two theories. The most important aspect of this, however, is the productive interplay between Peirce and scholastic realism, which yields some lines along which a certain "pragmatization" of the latter might be effected.

Aporías sobre el universo y su temporalidad a la luz de la filosofía de Leonardo Polo
Authors: Sanguineti Juan José
Published: October 2022

Some paradoxes emerging when the universe is thought of in terms of objectivity are considered in this article, in the light of the philosophy of L. Polo. Current metaphysical speculations on the basis of modern cosmology cannot easily avoid this risk. The author examines in particular the problem of the beginning of time, with a confrontation between Polo and Aquinas. It is argued that cosmological thought must be carefully controlled in order to be referred to a metaphysical perspective.
La persona y su naturaleza: Tomás de Aquino y Leonardo Polo
Authors: Lombo José Ángel
Published: October 2022

Polo's philosophy is deeply rooted in Aquinas' distinction between being and essence. The author applies a circular hermeneutic. Aquinas philosophy of the person is read from the perspective of Polo's account in order to elucidate Polo's own Trascendental Anthropology. The exposition is structured in two parts, each one describing a fundamental thesis. The first concerns the notion of person in Thomas, which appears in his discussion of Boethius' definition. The second one deals with the problem of conciliating mind as form of the body and as a spiritual substance.

Sobre el sentido común y la percepción. Algunas sugerencias acerca de la facultad sensitiva central
Authors: Posada Jorge Mario
Published: October 2022

Standing upon Leonardo Polo's interpretation about Aristotle's doctrine on sensitive cognition, some aspects of the sensorial organical inmutation required in it are examined, and a thesis concerning de common sense as center and root of sensibility –not only exterior, but also interior– is suggested. According to this thesis, even the sensorial and organical inmutations belonging to the other internal senses can return to de organ of the common sense, which becomes the central and radical organ. Therefore all sensible objectivation should take place in the common sense. This conclusion does not agree with Polo's position
La gnoseología escotista como transformación de la aristotélica. Un análisis desde la axiomática de Polo
Authors: Miralbell Ignacio
Published: October 2022

In this paper I am trying to show the differential points of view between the escotistic theory of knowledge –which is a peculiar derivation of agustinism– and the axiomatic gnoseolog of L. Polo, which has his inspiration in Aristotle. The univocist conceptualism together with the intuicionism of Duns Scotus leads to a primacy of the mental presency, which is just what Polo tries to overcome.
Perennidad y prosecución de la filosofía en el pensamiento de L. Polo
Authors: Flamarique Lourdes
Published: October 2022

Philosophy is in Polo’s view, a living intelligence, an exerted activity. It is always current because it pursuits a knowledge unconcluded by nature. Reason overcomes history if we understand philosophy as a reconsideration of the basic subjets.

La necesidad como totalidad de la posibilidad en Leibniz
Authors: Fernández Socorro
Published: October 2022

Authors: Haya Fernando

Schleiermacher y la música
Authors: Scholtz Gunter
Published: October 2022

Schleiermacher and music.- In the thought of Schleiermacher music and the Christian religion are intimately related, and both reinforce the idea that in the human being the individual nature is part of a necessary whole, humanity. A knowledge of this truth (i.e. the "higher self-awareness" which leads to science, philosophy, and so on) also arises through a feeling, a feeling which music can and does express and communicate. Music, then, like philosophy, would thus be able to express our true essence in its expression of this "higher self-awareness"
