Quine’s naturalized epistemology and skepticism
Authors: Bogdanovic Milos
Published: December 2024

When it comes to Quine?s position on the naturalization of epistemological
research, it is generally considered that as the first and most important
step, that position implies the abandonment of Cartesianism and the
skepticism it implies. However, here we will argue that such a diagnosis is
inappropriate, and that, in principle at least, Quine?s attitude towards
skepticism, even of the Cartesian type, is much more flexible than is
usually thought, and perhaps even than Quine himself thought. In this
regard, we will try to show how Quine was actually the one who accepted what
Barry Stroud called the ?conditional correctness of skepticism
(Cartesianism)? and not the logical positivists, and that the main reason
for this is that he recognized the autonomy of the discourse (epistemology?s
meta-context) established by Descartes.
The limits of freedom and coercion in the pursuit of enlightenment: On the debate between Locke and Proast
Authors: Matic Ivan
Published: December 2024

This paper will present a detailed analysis of the theological-political
debate between the english philosopher John Locke and the protestant
theologian Jonas Proast, which took place through a series of letters
between 1689 and 1704, and which centered around the the limitations of
freedom and coercion in the purpose of enlightenment. In the first part of
the paper, we will present a brief overview of the circumstances of the
early modern period in England, where this debate took place, as well as the
foundations of Locke?s political thought; afterward, we will take a look at
his original Letter Concerning Toleration. The second part of the paper will
be dedicated to analyzing the course of the debate between the two authors
through the course of the following six letters. In the third part, their
arguments will be critically analyzed in order to deepen our understanding
of their opinions, as well as the consistency of their beliefs with regard
to religious toleration.
Social constructivism as an answer to the essentialist view on psychopatology
Authors: Obradovic Vojana
Published: December 2024

The main goal of this article is to introduce the essentialist and
reductionist approach to psychopathology and to review the disadvantages of
this approach. On the other hand, the goal is also to present another
perspective of social constructivism, and explore the consequences of both
approaches on society, and vice versa. Also, it was discussed the power of
the currently dominant categorical essentialist approach to psychopathology
and the reasons for its sustainability. The final goal of this article is to
open space for discussion about different conceptualizations of
psychopathology and their implications.
Nuclear energy and our responsibility to future generations
Authors: Glisic Dejana
Published: December 2024

In this paper I will try to reconsider whether the argument of responsibility
towards future generations represents plausibile critique of global use of
nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is considered one of the possible solutions
for overcoming various environmental challenges, due to the fact that it
represents an energy source that can provide society with all the necessary
amounts of energy for a long time and that does not create unfavorable
effects of solid fuel emissions, such as the destruction of the ozone layer
and the greenhouse effect. However, from the perspective of responsibility
towards future generations, I will try to show how the nuclear industry, due
to its irreversibility character, cannot represent the most suitable
ecological solution in the present. I will try to further support the
plausibility of the argument, addressing human rights as a modern ethical
and political view, which bases moral responsibilities towards future
generations on the liberal society values, according to which the freedom of
individuals and their right to lead a dignified life are respected.

OBJECTIVE

The Metformin and Dietary Restriction to Prevent Age-Related Morbid Events in People With Metabolic Syndrome (MeMeMe) trial tested whether 1,700 mg/day metformin (MET) with or without a Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) intervention could reduce the cumulative incidence of major noncommunicable diseases in people with metabolic syndrome.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A total of 1,442 participants were randomly assigned to one of four interventions: 1) MET (1,700 mg/day) plus MedDiet intervention (MET+MedDiet); 2) placebo plus MedDiet intervention; 3) MET (1,700 mg/day) alone; and 4) placebo alone. Participants were followed up for 3 years on average. The primary outcome was the cumulative incidence of major noncommunicable diseases (including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer). Secondary outcomes were the incidence of type 2 diabetes and the changing prevalence of metabolic syndrome.

RESULTS

The crude incidence of the major noncommunicable diseases was 6.7 cases per 100 person-years in the MET+MedDiet group, 6.9 in the MET alone group, 13.3 in the placebo plus MedDiet group, and 11.3 in the placebo group. The differences were fully explained by the reduction of type 2 diabetes, which was 80% and 92% lower in the MET and MET+MedDiet groups, respectively, compared with placebo.

CONCLUSIONS

The use of 1,700 mg/day MET is effective to prevent diabetes in people selected on the basis of metabolic syndrome.

Authors: Bojang Sainey A. , Suliswanto Muhammad Sri Wahyudi
Published: December 2024

This study aims to investigate the problem of failed employment growth in The Gambia that is not in line with the increase in the country's workforce, particularly related to the high speed of college graduates entering the workforce. The study is a quantitative study using annual time-series data from 1990 to 2021 from The Gambia, with datasets that include variables such as GDP growth, foreign direct investment, and unemployment rates. The data was extracted from the World Bank database and analyzed using the E-views statistical package. This study used augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root tests and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) models against existing data sets. The results showed that there was no long-term correlation between the variables studied. In particular, in the short term, economic growth has a negative and insignificant influence on the unemployment rate in The Gambia, while foreign direct investment has a positive and significant impact. The implications of this study suggest that the Gambian government needs to maintain budget restrictions and allocate planned expenditures to meet the infrastructure development needed for businesses to thrive. The Gambia is also advised to attract greenfield investment to create new jobs, by encouraging foreign investors to get involved in sectors of the country's native economy, including the agricultural and manufacturing industries.

Authors:   Babes-Bolyai University, Faculty of Geography, Maria Julia PETRE
Published: December 2024

The present work aims to make a contribution to raising the level of awareness regarding the influence of environmental factors on the human community, by calculating two biometeorological indices, namely Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) and Heat Stress Index (HSI), which provide quantitative assessments of the thermal stress experienced by human populations in the examined region. Therefore, using the Bioklima software, the two biometeorological indices were calculated based on meteorological parameters recorded at the Constanța and Tulcea meteorological stations during the period from 2016 to 2022. Consequently, the results obtained based on the analysis of the extreme values of the UTCI index, indicate “no thermal stress” as the category of thermal comfort with the highest frequency during the studied years, at both stations. At the same time, the maximum HSI values suggest that the thermal comfort category “slight and moderate heat stress” was the most prevalent during the analyzed period at the Constanța meteorological station, while at Tulcea the most frequent thermal comfort category was “slight cool stress”. It is noteworthy that, although these desirable thermal comfort categories were predominant, categories illustrating weather conditions that pose a threat to the health of organisms (particularly humans) were also recorded during the studied years.

Canine oral neoplasia is often detected late in the course of the disease, necessitating radical surgeries frequently combined with adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy for positive outcomes. Although there has been extensive analytical and epidemiologic work on human oral cancer, research in veterinary medicine has been lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors associated with canine oral neoplasia to enhance early detection by improving screening.

METHODS

Patient data from 1985 to 2024 from the University of California-Davis Veterinary Teaching Hospital were bulk extracted to determine prevalence as well as the effect of clinical and environmental risk factors, including sex, breed, oral location, air quality, and periodontal disease status. The median air quality index (AQI) data were extrapolated from the Environmental Protection Agency’s database. Periodontal disease status was evaluated on patient CT scans.

RESULTS

The incidence of oral tumors was 4.59/1,000 patients. The median age upon diagnosis was 9.66 years, and 3 breeds were identified as significantly at risk compared to the general patient population. Air quality index, geographical location, and periodontal disease were not associated with oral neoplasia. Different tumor histologies had distinct oral predilection sites.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, there was a significant correlation between age/breed and oral neoplasms. Tumor locations were significantly different for each pathology. Other risk factors did not play a substantial role in disease.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

These findings can aid veterinarians and researchers in targeting screening and treatment strategies in high-risk dogs.
How Does the Stock Market Development React to Energy Consumption? Evidence from the ARDL Panel Approach

This article examines the relationship between stock market development and energy consumption in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries using panel data from 1971-2021 and ARDL panel and cross-section techniques. The long-term results show that market capitalization has a significant effect on oil consumption. In contrast, the value of shares traded positively and significantly influences the consumption of oil and electricity. Short-term findings indicate that the overall size of the stock market does not significantly affect electricity usage. This suggests that achieving the desired energy-saving goals may require policies that account for the influence of stock market on energy demand, rather than excluding this factor. Given these findings, policymakers in GCC countries should take into account the intricate and various effects that stock market development have on energy consumption. Accordingly, to reduce energy consumption, policies should not solely focus on energy demand and income relationships. Instead, policies should encourage improved corporate governance practices that incentivize companies to reduce their energy consumption to improve their financial performance and increase their share prices. This can be achieved by encouraging companies to invest in energy-efficient technologies and reducing their reliance on energy-intensive projects. Additionally, policymakers should consider regulating the stock market to promote environmentally responsible investments and reduce the financing of energy-intensive projects.

This article explores the portrayal of Mulan as a symbol of women's empowerment in Disney’s animated "Mulan" (1998) and live-action adaptation (2020). Drawing on Stuart Hall’s theory of reception study, the study examines how both films depict Mulan’s defiance of traditional gender roles and her journey towards empowerment. Through qualitative analysis of audience responses, it reveals that respondents from diverse backgrounds perceive Mulan as a bold, intelligent, and resourceful heroine who challenges societal expectations. In the 1998 animated film, Mulan's valor in replacing her father in battle resonates with themes of courage and sacrifice, while the 2020 live-action adaptation emphasizes her personal growth and mastery of chi, focusing less on romance and more on self-actualization. The findings underscore the films’ success in conveying messages of female empowerment across cultural and cinematic contexts, reflecting shifts in societal attitudes and interpretations of gender roles.

Appropriate Use of Inpatient Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents
Authors: Cui Chenghao , Nguyen Timothy , Rattu Mohammad
Published: December 2024

Background: Anemia is a significant global public health issue, and it is associated with lethargy, weakness, tiredness, and shortness of breath. Erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESAs) are recombinant / synthetic erythropoietin and can increase hemoglobin (Hb) levels. There are increased risks of cardiovascular events and death associated with the use of ESAs when raising Hb levels above 12 g/dL.
Methods: This was a baseline safety assessment via a retrospective chart review, including patients who recently received an inpatient dose of an ESA within The Mount Sinai Hospital (MSH) from November 1, 2015 (after MSH ESA guideline revision) to August 1, 2023. All adult patients who received an ESA (originator or biosimilar products) during hospitalization were included. Data collection was in reverse chronology, and only the most recent dose administered to each unique patient was collected.
 
Results: If an ESA dose was dispensed when the Hb was less than the upper limit of the target Hb for the specific indication, this was considered appropriate use. Based on data from June 15 to August 1, 2023 (~47 days of inpatient utilization), for the primary outcome, 169 out of 171 doses (98.8%) met the predefined criteria for appropriateness. One dose was dispensed when the Hb was 11.1 g/dL to a patient on renal replacement therapy, and one dose was dispensed when the Hb was 13.8 g/dL to a surgical patient who refused blood transfusions. Among secondary outcomes of interest, there was a difference in blood transfusions administered in critical versus non-critical care settings.
Conclusion: Inpatient use of ESA at MSH was appropriate when looking at Hb targets. There are currently no formal order sets, service-line restrictions, or additional chairperson approvals needed at MSH. Despite this, there remained significant adherence to prevailing Hb targets, reflecting provider and pharmacy teams' knowledge and awareness of contemporary best practices.

Authors:   Korean Association for Housing Policy Studies, Ryou Kiyun , Lee Jaesong , Choi Yeol
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the determinants of housing disposition among the elderly who did not re-enroll in the reverse mortgage after early termination. In addition, it analyzes the determinants of how long it takes to sell the house. Through the two empirical analyses, we examine the reasons for housing disposition and the factors that affect the time it takes to sell the house. The disposition of mortgaged houses is categorized into gift and sale, and the probability of gift or sale compared to retention is estimated using a multinomial logit model. In addition, the determinants of the time to sell were estimated using an ordered logit model. The results of the empirical analysis confirm that various factors affect the decision to give or sell a house and the shortening and increasing of the time period. The significance of this study is that it is an early-stage study that empirically analyzes how the last asset of the elderly, housing, accumulated over the life cycle, is utilized after the reverse mortgage is terminated.
A Study of Adilhan Yerzhanov's film Steppenwolf
Authors:   Institute for Russian and Altaic Studies, CBNU, Hong Sang Woo
Published: December 2024

In the film Steppenwolf director Adilhan Yerzhanov continues to tell the story of the “road trip” of the two main characters, who are still unable to form a complete family. As in other films released since 2018, the protagonists are forced to embark on a path destined for destruction, with no possibility of redemption in sight. Nevertheless, they do so because it is the only way to face the world.
Adilhan Yerzhanov's Steppenwolf also inherits the Soviet montage technique represented by Eisenstein. In particular, he illustrates in this work the technique of intellectual montage, which emphasizes the collision of opposites and the intervention of the viewer's perception. He seems to have referenced these classic Soviet montage techniques in masterpieces such as The Wild Bunch. Adilhan Yerzhanov also uses the white space of the shots to depict the desolation and dystopian landscape of empty space.
Another stylistic feature of Steppenwolf` is that it borrows from the Western genre. The director blends the styles of classic Westerns and revisionist Red Westerns in the film, reimagining them as Kazakhstani Westerns. Another Kazakh red western, Erlan Nurmekhamdov's The Horse Thieves. The Roads of Time(2019) focused on the visualization of the landscape and the redemption of the characters in a traditional Western, while Steppenwolf depicts a dystopian world where the possibility of redemption is absent. Also, as in his previous film The Yellow Cat, Adilhan Yerzhanov creatively quotes and transforms masterpieces of world cinema in Steppenwolf.
In conclusion, Adilhan Yerzhanov's Steppenwolf can be seen as a reflection of the director's ambition to combine the specificity of Central Asia with the universality of world cinema.
