Variable Robot Geometry Optimization Method to Avoid Tip Over Situations During Slow Motion on Unknown Terrains
Authors: Tajti Ferenc , Kovács Bence , Szayer Géza , Korondi Péter , Székely Zoltán
Published: February 2022

This paper presents a parametrized stability control method for special slow motion field mobile robots, based on use cases from border surveillance. The concept uses the centre of gravity (COG) as the virtual centre of motion (VCM). The simplified robot geometry is an input parameter of the model, so it can work with different types of mobile robots, like holonomic-wheeled, differential-wheeled, steered, tracked, wheeled-tracked, segmented, etc. structures. This method resulted in the implementation of a flexible and universal control algorithm for transformable and hybrid drive mobile robots, where every parameter can be changed and recalculated for different applications or even in discrete time steps during the motion at a 3D path. The velocity reference, the angular velocity reference and the optimization parameter (for example gravity compensation) of the robot can be prescribed. The model was implemented in MATLAB and can be compiled to C for measurements and validation with test robots.
Managerial Responsibility and Efficiency in Public Service (Competency-based Solutions)
Authors: Szabó Szilvia
Published: February 2022

This study aims to deal with a current and undoubtedly unique theme by examining the scope of leader responsibilities and effectiveness in a unique labour market environment following a concept which is still new in our country. The basic thesis of this study is that the responsibility of leaders is highly significant in achieving organizational efficiency even in public administration institutions, and additionally the terms of natural and developer leaders will be explained from this aspect as well. Furthermore, this study wants to define the importance of emotional intelligence and emotional competence in managerial work, particularly with regard to the practice of public administration. In relation to this topic the study also aims to formulate proposals for the behaviour of leaders with “creative vision”, and it summarizes those competency-based methods and good practices that can support leader activities efficiently, effectively and with resource saving.
The Dangers of NATO–Russian Confrontation : Why the Official Western Threat Analysis is Irrational
Authors: Szénási Endre
Published: February 2022

We are witnessing a new era where NATO and Russia are engaged in deep a confrontation, including its military dimension. The West – especially the US and some countries on the Eastern borders of NATO – equal the Russian threat against Europe to that of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), and Ebola. Plenty of studies examine Russian use of hybrid warfare in “aggressions” against independent states, including Ukraine, Georgia, and last but not least Estonia, a member of the Alliance.The portrayal of Russia, as the leading military threat against NATO is a hopelessly flawed threat perception that makes no sense at strategic level, unless it serves unstated and concealed geopolitical goals of some great powers. Both a conventional and a nuclear war between NATO and Russia are completely irrational and in nobody’s interest, since it will inflict enormous damage and there could be no real winner.If a conventional military incident might occur between NATO and Russia, the parties will most likely restrain themselves to avoid a major war, as they did in several confrontations briefly analysed in the article. If a nuclear confrontation occurs, the capabilities of both parties are far more than enough to change living conditions on Earth beyond recognition, when the remnants of humanity will struggle to survive.It is in Europe’s interest to reverse the confrontational course with Russia, while the perception of an “aggressive” Russia as a key military threat mainly serves US interests. The ultimate paradox is that Russia would truly become a leading threat to peace and security if the West succeeds destabilising her.
The Relationship Between the Tasks Aimed at the Prevention of Extraordinary Incidents, the Preparation for the Mitigation of their Consequences and the System of Protection
Authors: Hornyacsek Júlia
Published: February 2022

Extraordinary incidents, including disasters, usually cause significant damage to nature, the built environment and human lives. An approach, accepted by experts, is gaining more and more ground in the field of protection and research: it is not enough to respond to incidents following their occurrence, but great attention should be paid to prevent them, and authorities should be fully prepared to mitigate their consequences in due time. What does the preparation for extraordinary incidents mean, where is the place of these tasks in the system of protection, what are the tasks of the prevention phase, and how can the preparation activity be more efficient? In the article the author analyses the complex system of protection/defence, its subsystems, and then she demonstrates the place of disaster management and its subsystems in this environment. She examines the tasks of preventative protection against threat factors, with special regards to the tasks of the prevention/preparation phase. In the light of Hungarian and international prevention practice, she shows the up-to-date methods and tools with the help of several examples.
Public Service Motivation (PSM) and Job Satisfaction in Case of Hungarian Local Public Service
Authors: Hollósy-Vadász Gábor
Published: February 2022

Public Service Motivation (PSM) originates from psychology and it spreads in other disciplines such as public administration. PSM was developed in the USA and it is also applied in Europe. In this study, I investigated the connection between PSM, job satisfaction, red tape, and resignation satisfaction in case of a Mayor’s office of a district in Budapest. I had four hypotheses but I could prove only one. I found a significant connection between PSM factors and job satisfaction. These results may suggest that PSM could affect how public servants are satisfied with their job in the Hungarian public service.
Hungarian Participation in the EU-Led African Military Operations
Authors: Besenyő János
Published: February 2022

Africa is a high priority region to the European Union. Therefore, the European Union Launched independent missions in the unstable regions of the African continent regularly since 2003, in order to restraint and eliminate local conflicts and prepare local armed forces for mission. Hungary was involved in a wide range of tasks in recent years from June 2005. We contributed to the success of these missions, our soldiers served on the highest respectable level among others in the Darfur, Congo, Chadian, Somali and Mali operations as well as in the elimination of piracy in this region. After all, it is likely that the European Union will continuously count on our country’s participation in its peacesupporting missions. In the study I would like to present nine major operations, and the ultimately cancelled Libyan mission. I detail the case-specific objectives and implementation through first-hand experience, which was gained during my deployment. As far as Hungary is concerned, I wish to demonstrate the Hungarian soldiers’ admirable work during these missions, besides, I would like to concentrate on the background and conditions of our participation.

China: The New Key Protagonist of International Security
Authors: Kasznár Attila
Published: February 2022

The People’s Republic of China has become one of the leading superpowers in the World; its capabilities to protect its interests embrace not only some regional areas of the Asian continent but practically the entire World. This heading has not only positive consequences but negative effects, as well. Obviously, there are many different fields where security risks can threaten the Chinese interests. One of the most important is that parallel to the growth of China as a great power, the exposure to terrorist threats against the Chinese colonies living around the World is also growing.

Background: The prevalence of self-injury behavior and negative emotions in adolescents is high. This study aimed to investigate the effect of emotional regulation group training on self-injury behavior, depression, and anger in adolescents. Methods: The research method is quasi-experimental with a Pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The study population comprised adolescents aged 13-15 years living in Shiraz City, Iran, in 2020 with self-injury experience. A total of 30 samples were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling method and randomly assigned to the two groups of experimental and control (each 15 members). A Pre-test evaluated members of both groups. Then emotion regulation group training was applied online to the experimental group. After that, the participants in both groups were assessed in the post-test. Data collection tools were deliberate self-harm inventory, Kutcher adolescent depression scale, and state and trait anger expression inventory. Descriptive Statistics (SD) and inferential statistics (multivariate covariance) were used to analyze the obtained data Results: The results of the multivariate covariance test showed that group training of emotion regulation affected self-injury behavior, depression, and anger (P<0.05). Data analysis showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups regarding self-injury, depression, and anger. Emotion-regulation group training reduced self-injury behavior and the rate of depression and anger in adolescents. Conclusion: Emotion-regulation group training is one of the new therapies to reduce problems. This study also confirms its effectiveness on emotions and dysfunctional behaviors of adolescents.

Neurodidáctica para una cultura de la bondad
Authors: Tinoco Tinoco Wilson Alcivar , Lalangui Sarango Ricardo Geovanni , Jaramillo Aguilar Betty Azucena
Published: February 2022

Con el presente trabajo investigativo se evidencia la importancia de la neurodidáctica, referente a las emociones y su incidencia en el aprendizaje; así mismo, se entiende la importancia de educar para una cultura de bien, que inicie por la valoración de la persona independientemente de su condición o procedencia, considerando sus aspectos esenciales, tanto material, somático, psicológico y espiritual. El enfoque de la investigación es mixto, no experimental, de carácter bibliográfico, descriptivo y de campo. Para obtener la información empírica se aplicó una encuesta de seis preguntas, a la población docente de la Escuela “Combate de Pilo” y el Colegio de Bachillerato “Matilde Hidalgo de Procel”, instituciones de Machala, provincia de El Oro, información que permitió concluir que los encuestados presentaron serios problemas en cuanto a conocimiento de neurodidáctica; la mayoría (82,36%) sostuvo que es un aporte de pedagogos y docentes, lo cual es falso porque esta es una aportación de las neurociencias. Así mismo, se reveló que los docentes dieron importancia a las emociones, inclusive existe una adherencia a estas, porque afirmaron que son determinantes para lograr un cambio cultural; luego negaron al informar que el bien consiste en mejorar las condiciones materiales de las personas y su alimentación. Estas incoherencias denotan que algo sucede en la formación docente, por lo que se recomienda que se generen espacios de capacitación, autoformación, reflexión de la práctica docente y de crecimiento espiritual.

EvalMAX como alternativa a la evaluación de aprendizajes y la formación integral
Authors: Maila Velasco Adriana Paola , Sánchez Manosalvas Olga Teresa , Rincón López Víctor Raúl
Published: February 2022

La evaluación en el sistema escolar es un problema aún sin resolver. En el nivel secundario (Educación Básica Superior y Bachillerato General Unificado), de las instituciones educativas de Ecuador, la evaluación y promoción estudiantil están reguladas por el Ministerio de Educación, aunque en el Modelo Educativo General se habla de la evaluación por resultados o logros de aprendizaje. Sin embargo, la práctica recae en un enfoque evaluativo tradicional y de corte cuantitativo, sin alcanzar a detectar los resultados de manera individual. Esta problemática conduce la investigación-acción aplicada a manera de estudio de caso, para lo que se utilizó un software educativo denominado EvalMAX que emplea una metodología innovadora enfocada a la evaluación de aprendizajes, que conduce a identificar el nivel de logro individualizado y a la vez la formación integral de los estudiantes.  La investigación siguió un enfoque mixto, con un diseño cuasi experimental, se aplicó a un grupo predeterminado de estudiantes de bachillerato y un grupo control. La aplicación de EvalMAX permitió visualizar una mejora en el rendimiento, elevando el promedio individual y de grupo, en cuanto al desarrollo y alcance de las destrezas con criterios de desempeño, establecidos como mínimos deseados.
MOLOKAN RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY IN MODERN ARMENIA
Authors: Andreeva Julia O.
Published: February 2022

The religious group of the Russian Molokans (along with the Dukhobors and Subbotniks) was exiled from Russia to Transcaucasia in the 19th century and today constitutes an insignificant but noticeable minority in mono-ethnic Armenia. These “cultists” found themselves in an ambiguous position in Transcaucasia. On the one hand, they served the Russian Empire, on the other – they were considered heretics and enemies of the Russian statehood. The Molokan religion is neither homogenous nor a static phenomenon; it is a collective term, which can be associated with both groups and single individuals. The article is based on the author’s field material, collected during the expedition to the Molokans in Armenia in 2018-2019. The study aims to reveal how such an isolated, static, inflexible religious community deals with the challenges of the modern world in a democratic state. Strict norms, an abundance of prohibitions and isolation were well maintained in the era of persecution, but how much is it possible to preserve them in today’s Armenia? The main subject of the paper is the interaction of ethno-religious minorities with the secular world. The boundaries between the secular and the religious are conditional, and are meaningful, first of all, for the believers themselves. Today they quite easily maintain their religiosity in a society where the majority follows the national religion – the Armenian Apostolic Church. When describing themselves, the Molokans turn to enumerate prohibitions that are important today but are no longer observed with such care as before, especially among the younger generation. The main fears of the elders are related to the risks of “mixing” and losing their religious identity. Living in a foreign ethnic environment gives you more opportunities to preserve your own customs and not giving up on religion.
ALANS IN THE ARMENIAN WRITTEN SOURCES OF THE 12th –18th CENTURIES
Authors: Hakobyan Hayk , Khapizov Shakhban M. , Beylerian Hovhannes
Published: February 2022

The paper presents the translations, introduction and interpretation of information about Alans, obtained from the Armenian written sources of the 12th – 18th centuries. The subject of research is information from the following sources: Armenian historical works published in Russian or the original language, as well as historical or grammatical works, aide-memoirs and colophons of manuscripts that have not yet been in the focus of researchers’ attention or are introduced into the scientific use for the first time. Most of the sources published here have been identified in the collection of the M. Mashtots Research Institute of Ancient Manuscripts (Matenadaran). The information of the Armenian written sources dates the 12th – 18th centuries. This allows us to clarify the ethno-confessional map of the Caucasus in the 12th – 14th centuries and its transformation in the later period. Some of them, in particular, suggest the idea about the identity of ethnonyms “Alans” and “Osi/Oseti”. The sources also provide information about the written languages of the peoples of the Caucasus that were used in worship service. The paper pays great attention to the study of the issues of the “Alans”, “Alan Region” and “Alan Gates” mentioned in Armenian sources of the 16th – 18th centuries. The study uses the analysis of the available information on this oeconym, since in late Armenian sources the Alan Gates are localized in Derbent, and the terms “Alans” and the “Alan Region” are used in relation to the population and territory of the former Caucasian Albania.
BURIAL 121 OF THE KELI BURIAL GROUND OF THE 13TH – 14TH CENTURIES (MOUNTAINOUS INGUSHETIA)

Published: February 2022

The paper introduces the materials of the Burial 121 of the Keli burial ground of the 13th-14th centuries of Mountainous Ingushetia. The information about the burial and its funerary goods with their partial reconstruction set the main task for our study. This include the most complete identification of the ethnocultural origins of the objects under consideration, as well as the zones of influence and the degree of influence of the Golden Horde on the process and dynamics of the formation of the material culture of the population of the highlands of Ingushetia and a range of its weapons under the powerful impact on them of the surrounding territories during the key events of the 13th-14th centuries. The content of the paper will make it possible to judge the specifics of the military equipment of the mountain warrior-archers, armed with a saber with a surviving deer-horn hilt. The use of synchronous analogies suggests that the discovered saber is the product of the craftsmanship of professional blacksmiths and bone carvers, as well as craftsmen for processing leather for wooden scabbards and hunters who obtained the necessary raw materials. The question of the localization of such crafts in the mountains remains unanswered, and the presence of direct analogies to the published items from the warrior’s arsenal in the burials of the nomads of Eastern Europe during the Golden Horde era does not exclude the possibility of an influx of such items from the Golden Horde plain to the highlands of the Eastern Pridaryal territory. Thus, the Golden Horde Tatartup, a part of the Alanian population which took refuge in the mountains at the end of the 1230s, is of special attention regarding the role in such “mediation”. Traces of these migrants, who gradually “dissolved” in the local environment, are well documented in other burial complexes of the Keli burial ground.

Pollution of the environment with heavy metals due to artificial activities of the population has led to several problems for agricultural production. The work aims to study the influence of Metisevit Plus feed additive on the state of the glutathione system of the body of bulls under conditions of man-caused load. The research was conducted based on the private agricultural enterprise “Ukraine” Dubrovytsia district of Rivne region on 12 bulls six months old, Ukrainian black-and-white dairy breed, which was formed into two groups of 6 animals each: 1 group – control, bulls were on a standard diet; Group 2 – experimental, bulls were fed a feed additive “Metisevit plus” at a dose of 0.5 g/kg of feed. According to studies, cadmium and lead load reduce the activity of the glutathione link in the antioxidant defense system of bulls. Feeding the Metisevit Plus feed additive to the bulls of the experimental group for 30 days helped increase the level of non-enzymatic and enzymatic activity of the glutathione system. A probable increase in the level of reduced glutathione was found on 30 and 40 days of the experiment, were compared with the control group of animals, it increased by 7.2 and 7.1 %, respectively. In the study of the activity of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase, it was found that in these study periods they ranged from 35.7 ± 1.61 and 35.3 ± 1.55 nmol NADPH/min per 1 mg of protein (P ≤ 0.01) and 1.67 ± 0.041 and 1.64 ± 0.039 nmol NADPH/min per 1 mg of protein (P ≤ 0.001). Thus, studies on bulls indicate that the feed additive Metisevit Plus, when fed to bulls, under a load of cadmium and lead, contributed to the activation of the glutathione antioxidant defense system by increasing the level of enzymatic and non-enzymatic units. Our studies confirm the feasibility of using a feed additive, Metisevit Plus, to prevent lead-cadmium toxicosis.

The research was performed in terms of keeping bees in an incubator. Bees were selected families of analog and divided into control (І) and 6 experimental (ІІ-ІV) groups. Over 7 days, bees of control and experimental groups were fed 1 ml sugar syrup (SS), adding to that amount of citrate of polielemental nanotechnology drugs recommended for plant protection – “Avatar-Insecticide” (“A-I”) and “Avatar-Fungicide” (“A-F”) in a dilution of 1:1000 (II, III groups) and 1: 500 (IV, V groups) and their VI compatible combination (1:1000) and VII (1:500) groups. Every day number of live and dead bees in groups in absolute and relative values were counted. For 7 th day of feeding bees, drugs were taken to determine Co Zn, Cu, Ag in tissues. The results were statistically processed with the use of Microsoft Excel. The aim of the research is safety for beekeeping use of experimental drugs for plant protection “A-F” and “A-I” the conditions of feeding their bees. The differences of influence of drugs “A-F” and “A-I” on safety and loss of bees, their content in tissues Co and Cu depending on concentration, method, and duration of use were shown. The significant positive effect of feeding “A-F” drug dilution of 1:1000 on the safety of bees with the increase in the number of living by 12.7 % on day 7 compared to the control was noted. Application of this the drug in a dilution of 1:500 and its mixture with “A-I” in a dilution of 1:1000 and 1:500 reduced rates of preservation of bees throughout the research period. Separate feeding preparation of “A-F” and “A-I” compatible with dilutions of 1:1000 and 1:500 resulted in the highest content of Cо in the tissues of bees. Noted lower Cu content in tissues bee research groups at higher levels amid Zn and Ag by joint action both drugs in a dilution of 1:500 compared to the control. The results indicate a toxic effect of “A-I” drug to bees in the laboratory employed in concentrations and combinations and drug “A-F” – only a dilution of 1:500. Found high the ability of the cumulative drug doses applied “A-F” content of Co tissues of bees.
Amino acid composition of duck muscle tissue on using dietary supplements Activio

Published: February 2022

The optimal amount of protein is necessary for intensive growth. Protein malnutrition is one of the leading causes of poor growth and increased care of birds. However, excessive feeding of poultry with protein is impractical because the protein, in this case, is not fully used and harms the body, delaying its development. The lack and the excess of amino acids are harmful to a bird. Due to the imbalance of amino acids consumed with food, about 30 % of their amount is not used by the body for protein synthesis and is lost converted into energy. When normalizing the amino acid needs of poultry, it is necessary to consider the interaction of amino acids in the body with vitamins, micro-minerals, energy levels in feed. The article presents a study of the effect of the biologically active additive Activio, a selected combination of natural standardized active substances isolated from aromatic herbs and spices concentrated in one microencapsulated particle on the amino acid composition of Peking duck meat and cherry valley cross. It was found that the use of Activio supplement in the ducks feeding has a positive effect on the digestibility of amino acids.
Policy Forum : La concentration réelle des gains en capital au Canada — Une analyse longitudinale

Il est généralement cru que le traitement préférentiel accordé aux gains en capital aux fins de l'impôt des particuliers bénéficie surtout aux contribuables à revenus élevés. Or, puisque les statistiques fiscales traditionnelles incluent les gains en capital dans le revenu total des particuliers, certains d'entre eux voient leur revenu annuel artificiellement gonflé par la réalisation ponctuelle d'un gain en capital. Pour y parvenir, la banque de données administratives longitudinales de Statistique Canada est utilisée pour mieux identifier qui bénéficie réellement du traitement préférentiel des gains en capital au Canada et pour déterminer leur fréquence de réalisation. Plus précisément, l'analyse mesure le déplacement des contribuables entre cinq catégories de revenu selon la prise en compte ou non de leurs gains en capital dans leur revenu total. Si les contribuables plus fortunés bénéficient effectivement de façon disproportionnée du traitement préférentiel accordé aux gains en capital, l'exclusion de ceux-ci du revenu total atténue significativement cette disproportion. Les contribuables aux revenus plus modestes bénéficient plus qu'on ne le croirait du traitement préférentiel des gains en capital, surtout lorsqu'ils sont âgés de 55 ans ou plus. D'autre part, les contribuables aux revenus plus élevés réalisent des gains en capital plus fréquemment que ceux aux revenus plus modestes. Cela dit, dès que les contribuables déclarent des gains en capital, peu importe leur tranche de revenus totaux, ils ont tendance à le faire relativement fréquemment. Les contribuables déclarant des gains en capital avec régularité demeurent malgré tout une minorité, bien qu'ils réalisent une part importante de la valeur totale des gains en capital.
Policy Forum: Inequity and Inefficiency in the Tax Treatment of Capital Gains
Authors:   University of Toronto, Smart Michael , Hasan Jafry Sobia ,   University of Toronto
Published: February 2022

This article makes the case for increasing tax rates on capital gains income under Canada's Income Tax Act. The current tax preference for capital gains costs $35 billion annually in forgone government revenues, with much of the benefit accruing to high-income families. To address the inequity of the present system, and to reduce tax non-neutralities, the 50 percent inclusion rate for capital gains should be raised to 80 percent. This would constitute a simpler, more efficient way of taxing high-wealth individuals than recent proposals for a novel tax on wealth, and would likely generate far more revenue as well.

Da'wah is one of the most appropriate means of broadcasting religion to its adherents both monologically and in dialogue.

This study aimed to identify and measure the hematological parameters (erythrogram, thrombogram, white blood cell count and plasma metabolites) of the species Astyanax novae Eigenmann, 1911, collected in the urban stream, Neblina river in the city of Araguaína – TO, Brazil. The captured animals totaled 60 individuals, which were collected with a cast net and with the aid of a rod and reel with artificial bait. Blood collections were performed by caudal puncture of the caudal blood vessels, and blood data were collected according to the methodology described in the bibliography. From the results of the hematological analysis, mean values were obtained, which were: Hematocrit (Ht): 12.0%; Hemoglobin (Hb): 3.6 g/dL and erythrocytes: (GV): 0.59 x 106/uL. The allusive of variations in these parameters may suggest indicators of contamination in the environment where these animals are inserted. And it is concluded that the immune responses presented by the differences between the results of these parameters are indicative of changes in the water quality of the Neblina stream.

India has the highest proportion of diabetes patients, and it is estimated that
there will be 134 Million diabetics in India by 2045 as per IDF. Also, the disease
burden is increasing to the young population between ages 25-40 as more of them are
diagnosed positive according to JAMA recently. Moreover, there are only 4.8 Doctors per
10,000 population, and in villages, the ratio is the lowest possible in this country,
according to the Indian Journal of Public Health. Therefore, screening & predicting
Diabetes at an early stage remains a priority for clinicians. It reduces the risk of
major complications and improves patients' quality of life with diabetes, and builds
resilience and well-being amongst other citizens. With the advancement of Computer
Science & Artificial Intelligence, it is now possible to predict diabetes and other
such diseases through applying deep learning algorithms in high-quality data sets. This
helps in a more accurate and faster diagnosis of Pre-diabetes, Diabetes &
diabetes-related progressive eye diseases. In this study, a systematic review of the
Pubmed repository for current practices to diagnose Diabetes based on AI intervention in
the Indian context is carried out. Also, a critical analysis was done on various
pioneered companies currently offering AI-based Diabetes diagnostic services in India.
The study represents different concepts of AI tools used to predict the diseases
currently available in India. Although most of the studies were carried out on Diabetic
Retinopathy screening, future opportunities can be in several other areas such as
Clinical Decision Support, Predictive Population Risk Stratification and Patient
Self-Management Tools.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis has a large spectrum of extra-pulmonary manifestations,
and ocular tuberculosis is one of them. Diagnosis of ocular tuberculosis is often
presumptive due to its extreme variability of ocular manifestations and difficulty
isolating the organism through biopsy or culture. We report three cases of primary
ocular tuberculosis with varied clinical presentations, namely neuroretintis,
panuveitis, and occlusive vasculitis. Patients were aged 23 to 45 presented with
symptoms of blurring of vision from 3 days to one week prior to presentation. Visual
acuity ranged from 6/18 to 2/60. For all three cases, chest X-ray and serological
investigation for infective causes were normal. Mantoux test and TB Quantiferon test
were negative, and ESR was raised for the first two cases. Mantoux was positive, and ESR
was not raised for the third case. Patients were diagnosed to have Presumed Ocular
Tuberculosis. An anti-tubercular therapy was administered. There was significant
improvement at post-initiation of medication. A high index of clinical suspicion is
crucial due to the diverse clinical presentations of ocular tuberculosis. Early
initiation of anti-tubercular therapy is vital for successful treatment.
La "Teoria fisiologica dell'anima" di Andrea Verga
Authors: Frigerio Luca
Published: February 2022

A partire dalla metà dell'Ottocento in Italia si sviluppò una psichiatria nazionale, di matrice medico-scientifica, che rivendicò il monopolio medico-psichiatrico della malattia mentale, con l'obiettivo di emanciparla da ogni retaggio filosofico e teologico. Figura chiave di questa transizione fu il medico e psichiatra lombardo Andrea Verga. Il saggio analizza le lezioni che Verga tenne per la cattedra di Dottrina e Clinica delle alienazioni mentali nel biennio 1884-86, nelle quali delineò la "Teoria fisiologica dell'anima", in base alla quale «l'anima non è che la funzione dell'encefalo». Egli difese in primo luogo l'idea che fra il sistema nervoso e gli altri organi del corpo umano esistessero solo differenze quantitative: tale elemento rendeva possibile uno studio dell'anima come puro e semplice prodotto del funzionamento dell'organismo umano e, specialmente, come un oggetto di studi scientifici liberati da ogni ipoteca religiosa o metafisica. In secondo luogo, sostenne che fosse infondata l'idea che tale concezione dell'anima potesse minare il senso morale degli esseri umani e dunque danneggiare la società, perché l'agire morale umano sarebbe indipendente dalla convinzione che l'anima sia o meno immortale, che esista un Dio e che l'uomo disponga o meno del libero arbitrio.

PSIKODINAMIKA MEMAAFKAN DALAM HUBUNGAN INTERPERSONAL
Authors: Moesarofah
Published: February 2022

Kemampuan menjalin hubungan interpersonal dapat mempengaruhi popularitas individu dalam suatu kelompok. Namun permasalahan atau luka psikologis dalam hubungan interpersonal tidak dapat dihindari. Berbagai kajian teoritis mendukung pemaafan sebagai salah satu pendekatan untuk menangani masalah interpersonal. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis psikodinamika memaafkan dalam hubungan interpersonal. Desain penelitian adalah kualitatif, pengumpulan data melalui studi pustaka dengan kata kunci angry, forgiveness therapy, interpersonal relationship. Sedangkan analisis data dilakukan secara tematis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berbagai perspektif teoritis dapat menerima konsep pengampunan sebagai intervensi psikologis untuk mengatasi masalah interpersonal. Ada sebagian kecil pendapat yang menolak konsep pengampunan, karena menganggap memaafkan korban pelanggaran identik dengan ketidakadilan. Sedangkan pendapat yang mendukung konsep pemaafan berorientasi pada kesejahteraan psikologis korban dan pelaku pelanggaran dalam jangka panjang. Perspektif kognitif sosial menghubungkan konsep pemaafan dengan faktor relasional. Perspektif psikoanalis menghubungan dengan upaya untuk melepaskan insting agresif untuk mendukung kebutuhan ego. Perspektif konstruk personal berkaitan dengan penemuan makna baru dari beragam konstruk yang dimiliki individu, sedangkan dari perspektif moral berkaitan dengan penalaran keadilan yang bersifat relativis di tahap perkembangan moral paska konvensional. Lebih lanjut implikasi penelitian didiskusikan.
