Reconstructing the Foundations of Political Philosophy in the Context of New-Quality Productive Forces: Implications for Public Management and Governance Systems
Authors: Yin Haoxuan , Pan Haichu , Chen Junbo , Fan Yunting
Published: November 2024

In the context of the rapid development of the digital economy and transformative technologies, new-quality productivity, driven by artificial intelligence, big data, and blockchain, is profoundly reshaping socio-economic structures and governance models. This emerging form of productivity not only redefines resource allocation mechanisms but also challenges the foundational assumptions of traditional political philosophy. Classical frameworks, such as liberalism, utilitarianism, and social contract theory, face significant limitations in addressing complex issues related to data privacy, algorithmic bias, and rights distribution, necessitating a theoretical reconstruction to align with the new technological landscape. This study explores the need for reconstructing the philosophical foundations of political systems under new-quality productivity and examines its far-reaching implications for public management and governance frameworks. By analyzing the management models of democratic and centralized systems, the study highlights their respective strengths and weaknesses in managing new-quality productivity. Democratic systems excel in fostering innovation through market-driven mechanisms and societal collaboration but often encounter challenges in coordination and efficiency. In contrast, centralized systems leverage strategic planning and high execution efficiency, yet face potential constraints in innovation and ethical concerns arising from technological centralization. The complementary nature of these systems provides valuable insights into constructing a global governance framework. The study further argues that the global governance system in the digital economy era should emphasize inclusivity and collaboration. By integrating ethical oversight, data sovereignty protection, and multilateral cooperation mechanisms, it is possible to achieve a balance between equity and efficiency in public management. The theoretical contribution of this research lies in advancing interdisciplinary studies between political philosophy and public management, while its practical significance lies in offering policy guidance and solutions to address social inequality, digital divides, and governance challenges in the era of new-quality productivity.

Published: November 2024

Because regular concrete uses a lot of cement and emits a lot of CO2, it has an adverse effect on the environment. This makes it necessary to look into sustainable alternatives. This study looks into improving the mechanical qualities of M25 grade concrete while lessening its environmental impact by partially replacing cement with fly ash and jute fiber. Jute fibers and fly ash, a pozzolanic byproduct of burning coal, were added in different amounts to test the strength, durability, and microstructural qualities of the finished concrete. The mechanical properties of concrete mixtures with different fly ash and jute fiber ratios were the subject of experimental study. The best mixture, which included 5g of jute fiber and 30 Percent fly ash, outperformed regular concrete by achieving the highest compressive strength at 28 days (34.28 MPa). The identical combination captured the most elevated tensile strength (4.32 MPa) and flexural strength (5.35 MPa) after 28 days. The maximum compressive strengths of the concrete with 15 Percent fly ash and 7.5g of jute fiber were 28.86 MPa and 22.20 MPaat 14 and 7 days, respectively. The tensile strength of the concrete showed continuous improvements, reaching its peak at 28 days (3.82 MPa). Tests for resistance to sulfate attack and chloride permeability further validated the modified mixes enhanced performance. According to the study's findings, the ideal mixture of 70 Percent cement, 30 Percent fly ash, and 5g jute fiber significantly improves compressive, flexural, and tensile strength, offering a viable substitute for the manufacturing of concrete in a sustainable manner.
Comparative wood anatomy of three indigenous Morus species with special reference to their identification
Authors: Yadav Ronak , Gupta Sangeeta
Published: November 2024

The study examines the wood microstructure of three Morus species (M. alba, M. serrata, and M. laevigata), belonging to the family Moraceae. Wood samples were sourced from the Xylarium of the Forest Research Institute, Dehradun. Standard procedures were followed for slide preparation, and anatomical features were recorded per the International Association of Wood Anatomists (IAWA) guidelines. Common characteristics, such as vasicentric paratracheal parenchyma, prismatic crystals, broad vessels, multiseriate rays and VRPs, are recognized as generic features while variations in wood porosity, fiber septation, shape of IVPs and helical thickening in vessels, features helped differentiate the species. The study noted both qualitative (conservative and constant) and quantitative wood anatomical features, likely influenced by environmental factors, and used the data to create a dichotomous identification key.
Mechanisms and factors contributing to acetylcholine nerve cell death in Alzheimer disease
Authors: Chen Jiarong
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe and progressive neurodegenerative condition that is marked by a gradual deterioration of cognitive functions, leading to grievous dementia and profound functional impairment. As the disease progresses, individuals lose the ability to carry out routine tasks and daily activities, often leading to bedridden confinement and an increased risk of complications such as pneumonia. Despite considerable research efforts, the precise mechanisms underlying AD pathogenesis remain elusive. The cholinergic hypothesis, one of several proposed pathogenesis hypotheses for AD, suggests that the disease arises from the death of neurons releasing acetylcholine. This hypothesis highlights the critical role of acetylcholine in maintaining cognitive function and implies that the degeneration of these neurons contributes to the progression of AD. To better understand the mechanisms and factors contributing to acetylcholine nerve cell death in AD and how they ultimately lead to disease progression, this research aims to explore the intricate relationship between acetylcholine and AD. We examine the intricate interplay between genetic, molecular, and environmental factors that converge to promote the demise of cholinergic neurons. Ultimately, understanding the complex interplay between acetylcholine and AD pathogenesis could smooth the path for novel treatment strategies aimed at preserving neuronal function and improving patient outcomes.
Correlations between neurological disease mechanisms and feedback signals utilized in adaptive DBS: A comparative study
Authors: Li Enhui
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Recent advancements in deep brain stimulation (DBS) technology have shown significant promise in treating neurological disorders. However, research across different diseases often lacks a holistic approach, leading to limitations in treatment strategies and the selection of feedback signals. To facilitate the classification development of DBS technology, a systematic analysis of the similarities and differences among various diseases is essential for optimizing adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) feedback signal selection. This paper examines the commonalities and distinctions in the pathophysiological mechanisms of Parkinsons disease (PD), epilepsy, and major depressive disorder (MDD), along with their associated aDBS feedback signals. Through comparative research on these conditions, the study explores their respective neurobiological markers and adaptive stimulation strategies. This research provides empirical support for the stratified development of DBS technology, highlighting the importance of optimizing feedback signals based on the characteristics of different diseases, thereby laying a theoretical foundation for future treatment strategy design.
Violent crimes in men and its causes: A literature review combining environmental, psychological and genetic factors of violent criminal behavior
Authors: Lin Zhuoru
Published: November 2024

Abstract. In this extended project, I consider a variety of causes for violent criminality, and show how genetic, environmental and psychological elements converge to contribute to an individuals likelihood of offending. This review covered some fundamental genetic markers (i.e., XYY syndrome, the MAOA gene variant), with those carried on by environmental influences in the form of own characteristics and immediate factors (i.e. socioeconomic status, familial dynamics) to personal psychological qualities as psychopathy. The results show that genetic influences on a disposition to engage in criminal behavior do not lie dormant but act together outside the confining space of bare biology. In reality, many environmentally and psychologically trigger the actual act of criminal activities. This is not to say that any one of these factors determines whether violent criminal behavior will develop, but rather, that criminal behavior emerges from the interaction of all the elements discussed in this review. Such a nuanced perspective is important for our legal systems, as it emphasises the need of seeing every individual separately and assessing an individual on several levels while also implementing measures that take into consideration some reference to genetic predisposition, surroundings and psychological profile. Further longitudinal and interdisciplinary studies are needed to better understand the relationships between these factors as well as to develop prevention and intervention strategies in the future.
Depois do Homo Sacer: o Confederalismo Democrático curdo como profanação ao Estado-Nação
Authors: Veríssimo Vitor Maia , Magalhães José Luiz Quadros de
Published: November 2024

Neste trabalho realizamos uma análise teórica das práticas de resistência e organização política do povo curdo, na assim chamada Questão Curda, a partir da obra de Giorgio Agamben. Se a Soberania moderna estabelece as relações do poder político a partir de uma origem romana que define a exceção e exclusão dos povos matáveis como parte de sua natureza, a desativação desses institutos se dá quando outra lógica impera. Assim, trazemos a Questão Curda como exemplo de profanação do sistema moderno de Estado-Nação e Democracia, a partir das próprias propostas teóricas agambenianas, uma vez que uma tradição decolonial dos povos oprimidos toma o lugar da exceção que determina o homo sacer.
A Ruptura na Igreja Universal em Angola: Narrativas Nacionalistas como Estratégia de Reforma
Authors: Jesus Armindo de
Published: November 2024

Este artigo centrou-se nos desdobramentos da crise de ruptura na Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD) em Angola, que iniciou no final de 2019 e culminou na expulsão de missionários brasileiros. Buscou-se entender como as tramas e disputas na igreja serviram para a elaboração e o fortalecimento de narrativas nacionalistas, que, a nosso ver, elevaram a crise ao patamar de uma questão de interesse nacional. Lançaremos mão da ideia de que a religião desempenha um “papel positivo na sociedade moderna”, disposta a entrar na esfera pública em interface com as políticas estatais, problemas sociais e memória nacional. Interessa-nos, especialmente, analisar os arranjos discursivos dos reformistas da Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus em Angola, que indicam um quadro de relações e conflitos de interesses se entrelaçando a aspectos históricos, sociais, econômicos e políticos do país.

Authors: Fayrouz Khaled  , Fatma Abdulsalam
Published: November 2024

The administration of pharmaceuticals such as paracetamol (PAR) and amoxicillin (AMO) has been linked to physiological changes in animals. While these drugs are widely utilized for their therapeutic benefits, their potential effects on body and organ weights are not fully understood. Male rabbits were divided into four groups a control group, a group treated with PAR, a group treated with AMO, and a group receiving both drugs PAR+AMO. Body weight changes were monitored weekly, and organ weights (liver, lungs, heart, kidneys, testes, and brain) were measured at the end of the trial. Data were statistically analyzed, with significance set at p < 0.05. Body weight changes were observed across all treatment groups. In the control group, there were gradual weight increase from 1839±136.20g to 1975±89.94g, remaining consistent throughout the trial. While in the PAR group, we observed initial weight loss from 1667±43.83g to 1584±31.69g in week one, followed by recovery and reaching 1860±26.48g by week five. In the AMO group, there were a minor initial weight loss, followed by steady gains peaking at 2028±12.02g in week four, slightly decreasing to 2007±4.97g in week five. In the PAR+AMO group, we reported fluctuations in weight, starting at 1857±52.43g, peaking in week one (2001±94.50g), and ending at 1900±92.61g in week five. Organ weight analysis revealed significant changes. Liver and Lungs were notable increases in the PAR (73.214±5.006g liver; 8.356±0.663g lungs) and AMO groups (76.250±0.364g liver; 6.650±0.030g lungs). Combination therapy moderated these effects. Other Organs such as kidney, heart, brain, and testes weights showed no significant alterations (p > 0.05) across the groups. In conclusion, this study highlights the differential impact of PAR and AMO, individually and in combination, on body and organ weights in male rabbits. While PAR and AMO caused notable changes in liver and lung weights, combination therapy appeared to moderate these effects. Body weight fluctuations were observed across all groups, emphasizing the need for further investigation into the mechanisms underlying these physiological responses to pharmaceutical interventions.

Authors: Proença Yasmin , Saliba Clara , De Pellegrini Elias Lilian , Barletto Cavalli Suzi
Published: November 2024

Public procurement of food from family farming has emerged as a powerful tool to transform food systems, by creating demand for healthy and sustainable food. In urban centres, where there is a growing need for food, it can play a crucial role in connecting urban consumption with rural production, strengthening rural-urban linkages. This study aimed to contribute to the discussion on the potential of public procurement as a policy tool to promote sustainable city-regions, based on the city-region food systems approach. To this aim, a descriptive study was conducted on the public purchases of food from family farming by the Brazilian School Feeding Programme in a representative Brazilian metropolis, Campinas, São Paulo, from 2013 to 2019, based on public databases provided by the Accountability Management System of the National Fund for the Development of Education (FNDE) and the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA). The results indicated that the potential of the programme was not fully realised in the metropolis of Campinas, given that the purchase of local, sociobiodiverse and organic food from family farming fell short of the incentives outlined in the legislation. This observation underscores the necessity for further improvements to better align the public policy with its sustainable objectives, not only in Campinas but also in other urban centres seeking to strengthen their linkages with rural producers.

Authors: Chagas de Almeida Thiago , Luiz Emmendoerfer Magnus
Published: November 2024

O Turismo de Base Comunitária (TBC) são modos de gestão das atividades de visitação que têm diversos princípios endógenos-territoriais e sustentáveis. Por conta disso, ele se associa à perspectiva do Desenvolvimento Local Sustentável (DLS), especialmente as suas dimensões cultural, ecológica, econômica, política e social. No entanto, o alcance desses princípios não é algo simples, pois ocorre pela realização de práticas desafiadoras que os materializam. Em vista disso, este trabalho buscou descrever práticas do TBC que se articulam ao DLS e seus desafios nesse processo. Tal objetivo ocorreu através de um estudo de caso crucial no território de Paraty/RJ, que tem um TBC bem fortalecido e como possibilidades para contribuir com o DLS. A coleta dos dados se deu por levantamentos documentais, aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado e observação direta. A interpretação dos dados se baseou na técnica análise de conteúdo temática. Como resultados, verificou-se práticas de TBC em Paraty articuladas a diferentes fatores do DLS, por meio: da gastronomia; produções artísticas; apresentação de lugares históricos e dos modos de vida que singularizam o território, etc. Já os desafios dessas práticas envolvem questões tanto internas (no campo de atuação comunitário), como externas (que não depende apenas da comunidade). Dessa forma, esta pesquisa ajuda a avançar no entendimento de como ações do TBC aderentes ao DLS são realizadas, que é uma lacuna da literatura. Além disso, mostra alguns gargalos que podem ser superados para que um desenvolvimento endógeno e sustentável seja mais possível.

The Problem of Axiological Orientation of Personality in the Cultural Space
Authors:   Tver State University, Russia, Voitsekhovich Viacheslav
Published: November 2024

The main approaches to understanding culture are Western and Eastern. The Eastern approach is substantiated, according to which the essence of culture is the “Cult of Light”, i.e. following everything positive leading to the preservation and development of homo sapiens, to the spiritual improvement of man and society. I. Kant and a number of thinkers of the XVIII century introduced a system of ideals and values of culture. It consists of “Truth, Goodness, Beauty.” The author expands the system with the ideals of “Love, Faith in the Highest.” The system of negative values, or “anti-culture”, is “lies, evil, ugly, hatred, faith in Satan.” Explicitly or implicitly, it is followed by that part of society that leads to the degradation and self-destruction of both the individual and our biovid /bio species/ as a whole. The concepts of “field of human activity” or “cultural space” in the broad Western sense, divided into positive and negative sides, are introduced. In it, a person who is at the point of bifurcation, a state of free choice of life path, tends as a result either to “Light”, to a positive value system, or to “darkness”, a negative value system. A large part of society strives for “Light” and struggles with the part of society that has chosen “darkness”.Consciousness is studied as the basis and source of cultural activity. The thesis about the impossibility of a logical definition of consciousness based on consciousness is substantiated. A more general concept of “superconsciousness” is needed – a genus in relation to consciousness as a species. So did G. Leibniz, G. Fichte, G. Hegel, V.S. Solovyov, and other great thinkers. The consequence of this approach is the hypothesis about the possibility of other types of consciousness and culture that differ from human ones but are at the same level of reason. Cultural studies are studied as a teaching close to the level of world view and as a humanitarian science

Introdução: A Síndrome do Intestino Irritável (SII) é uma condição multifatorial que afeta significativamente a qualidade de vida. Tratamentos convencionais apresentam limitações, e os probióticos surgem como uma abordagem terapêutica promissora, aliviando sintomas e promovendo benefícios adicionais. Este estudo avaliou a eficácia e segurança dos probióticos no manejo da SII. Métodos: Foram analisados 14 ensaios clínicos randomizados publicados entre 2019 e 2024, selecionados por meio de uma busca sistemática em bases de dados internacionais. Estudos com intervenções em adultos, que empregaram probióticos ou simbióticos e relataram desfechos clínicos relacionados à SII, foram incluídos. Resultados: Os probióticos mostraram-se eficazes na redução de sintomas como dor abdominal, diarreia e constipação, especialmente em subtipos SII-D e SII-C. Cepas como Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1, Bifidobacterium lactis UABla-12 e Bacillus coagulans demonstraram benefícios significativos. Além disso, simbióticos promoveram modulação da microbiota e redução da permeabilidade intestinal. A segurança foi confirmada, com eventos adversos leves e nenhuma ocorrência de efeitos graves. Discussão: Os resultados reforçam o potencial clínico dos probióticos como intervenção segura e eficaz para SII. No entanto, a heterogeneidade dos estudos e a ausência de padronização nas intervenções destacam a necessidade de protocolos mais consistentes e estudos de longo prazo. Conclusão: Os probióticos representam uma alternativa eficaz no manejo da SII, com benefícios sintomáticos e sistêmicos. Futuras pesquisas devem focar na padronização das intervenções e na diversificação das populações estudadas para otimizar sua aplicação clínica.

Authors: Siqi Cai , Saidon Mohd Kasri , Kassim Nor Fauzian
Published: November 2024

The National Education Congress in China (2018) proposed that teacher morality should be of the top priority in teacher evaluation. However, in real life, teacher morality anomie happens frequently, which has attracted the attention of society. The quality of professional teacher morality education of normal university students is related to the future development of teachers’ morality. For a long time, normal universities in China have conducted teacher morality education program based on the theoretical curriculum, which makes the curriculum of teacher morality education become a mere formality. Some normal universities pay little attention to practical education of teacher morality and lack guidance for problems concerning practice in the process of teacher morality education. The practical teacher morality education in the real sense cannot be really implemented, and normal students cannot experience the sense of responsibility and confidence of the future teacher career through the practice of teacher morality education. Moreover, practical teacher morality education is not involved in the evaluation system of student education in normal universities. The absence of practical education in teachers' morality leads to unfavorable outcome of teacher morality education. This article explores the intrinsic relationship between volunteer participation and teacher morality education in altruism, clarifies the ways in which volunteer participation plays a role in teachers morality education of normal university students, together with the way volunteer participation affects cultivating students' sense of responsibility and tempering their moral will. This article aims to find ways to improve the practical education of teachers’ morality for normal university students.

The growth of Omni-channel retailing is causing consumers to change their habits and shopping behaviour. It is essential to understand the factors on customer loyalty within the consumer context. The purpose of this paper is to explore factors that are influencing consumer’s loyalty when they use omni-channel in their shopping behaviour, specifically in the E-commerce sector in Nigeria. There have been significant developments in the field of retailing with digitalization. One of these developments is the emergence of Omni-channel retailing. Although this has affected both firms and consumers considerably, the literature is dominated by the studies dealing with omni-channel retail strategy and customer loyalty. The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the relationship between Omni-channel retail strategy and customer loyalty. Three research objectives were identified and translated into three research questions which were aptly answered by subjecting them to a test of hypotheses. A descriptive survey research method was used to survey selected E-commerce stores (jumia, konga and Jiji) outlets in Delta state, Nigeria. However, the findings of the study revealed that the constructs of Omni-channel retail strategy; online and in-store integration, offering in-store pick up and Mobile apps have significant effect on Customer loyalty. Thus, it was concluded that Omni-channel retail strategy represents the evolution of technology and the full integration of business resources. It empowers customers by giving them the freedom of choice to move across different channels without barriers, directing marketing activities to be customer-centred and designed according to customer's needs. The study recommended that E-commerce stores in Nigeria should develop customized Omni-channel strategies that align with local consumer preferences and market dynamics. This entails leveraging online and offline channels synergistically to deliver seamless shopping experiences.

Self-directed learning and blended learning are instructional methods to enhance students’ current learning behavior and promote their life-long learning.  This research aims to develop the self-directed learning instructional model by implementing a blended learning method with English subject group teachers in opportunity expansion schools in Lampang province, Thailand and to examine the effects of teaching approach. Thirty English language teachers were selected as the sample group by using the voluntary sampling technique.  The research instruments were an interview form; a lesson plan assessment form; a teacher’s evaluation form in teacher’s self-directed learning management behavior; and a students’ evaluation form for students’ self-directed learning behavior. The data analysis employed percentage, mean, standard deviation, and dependent t-test.

This study found two principal outcomes: 1) the teacher’s average mean score on the instructional behavior was higher than before the teaching intervention was implemented, with statistical significance of 0.05; and 2) the students’ average mean score on self-directed learning behavior was higher than before they engaged in the self-directed learning programme, with the statistical significance of 0.05.
Modern Proposals for Regulating Ecocide: pragmatic, ideological or diplomatic.

Modern Proposals for Regulating Ecocide: pragmatic, ideological or diplomatic. Towards a legal concept befitting the ecological challenges of our time.

This article argues that the current debate on ecocide law is gridlocked due to an overlooked incongruency within the 2021 Independent Expert Panel’s ecocide proposal. To reinvigorate the discussion, the Panel’s proposal is compared with earlier proposals by Polly Higgins and Richard Falk. Analysis of the challenges, objectives, and legal solutions in each proposal reveals a respectively ideological, diplomatic or pragmatic approach. Incongruencies are found in Higgins’ and the Panel’s proposals, while Falk’s proposal shows consistency. The incongruence between the challenges, objectives and legal solutions arguably has its roots in fundamental methodological discrepancies between ideal and non-ideal theory. For a juridically viable solution a congruent non-ideal approach should be adopted, resulting in a multitude of laws and regulations addressing various objectives that are often incompatible in one singular article to effectively tackle environmental challenges.
Het einde van de juridische persoon?

Het einde van de juridische persoon?

Het juridisch persoonsbegrip heeft in de loop der tijd verschillende gedaantes aangenomen. Recentelijk bepleiten verschillende auteurs wegens zorgen over onder meer klimaat, kolonialisme en dierenwelzijn echter niet zozeer een nieuwe gedaanteverwisseling, maar een algehele opheffing van het persoonsbegrip. De beoogde oplossing om de juridische persoon af te schaffen brengt evenwel ernstige problemen met zich. Niet alleen kan men zich afvragen hoe rechtsbescherming en verantwoordelijkheid tot stand kunnen komen in een rechtsorde zonder juridische persoonlijkheid, maar ook is het goed mogelijk dat de verdwijning van de juridische persoon de weg vrijmaakt voor onderwerping van burgers aan de steeds verfijndere systemen van datasturing via big data en Big Tech. Om recht te doen aan de uitdagingen waarvoor het Antropoceen én technologische ontwikkelingen de rechtsorde stellen, wordt in deze beschouwing gepleit voor een verdere ontwikkeling van de juridische persoon in plaats van de afschaffing van dat begrip.

‘Ik ben toch niet God?’

Dit artikel legt de analyse van Paul Scholten over de werkwijze van een jurist naast de werkwijze en werkomstandigheden van een medewerker asiel van de Nederlandse Immigratie- en Naturalisatiedienst. De auteur concludeert dat het werken in de Algemene Asielprocedure beperkingen aan de medewerker oplegt die maken dat zorgvuldig en onpartijdig werken en het toepassen van de menselijke maat in het gedrang komen. Het werken onder tijdsdruk en met een complex juridisch regelstelsel dragen hieraan bij. Hierdoor ontstaat het risico van robotisering van het beslisproces. Scholten reikt praktische en belangrijke handvatten aan om dit risico tegen te gaan.
