Does Orf (Pacha boil) affect housewives?
Authors: Kubaisi Thamir Abdulmajeed
Published: May 2022

Introduction and Aim: Orf is a disease caused by Parapox virus. It affects butchers, farmers, shepherds, and veterinarians. Orf progresses through six clinical stages. In some Arab countries, housewives purchase sheep's head and trotters for cooking Pacha dishes. This study was aimed to learn the clinical presentations and complications of Orf disease and to identify the relationship with various occupations.
 
Methods: This case-control study including 70 patients with Orf disease, and 80 control individuals was carried out in Anbar, Iraq, from August 2018 until April 2020. History and clinical findings were reported for patients like age, gender, residence, onset of disease, and its relation to the season, time, or Eid occasion. Concurrent small trauma when handling Pacha with or without hand protection equipment was noted.
 
Results: The mean age was 39.8±8.9 years, 20% were males, and 80% females. Mean duration of disease was 14.7±7.8 days. Orf disease was highly significant in housewives than in butchers (p-value<0.01). About three-quarters of patients had preceding mild trauma by broken sheep's head and trotters. No hand protection was used in 77.1%. Two thirds of patients acquired disease after Eid events. Orf involved only hands. Furthermore, 37.1% of cases had a targetoid stage. The disease was significantly reported in summer and autumn. Self-healing occurred within six weeks. Cellulitis (12.6%) and paronychia (4.2%) were described as new complications.
 
Conclusion: After Eid events, Pacha boil (Orf) affected housewives who had unprofessional handling of Pacha without protective measures. Targetoid stage was common. Early diagnosis is mandatory to avoid complications.
A homoeopathic drug proving of ivory from the male African elephant (Loxodonta africana) with a subsequent comparison to Lac Loxodonta africana
Authors:   , Forbes Barry
Published: May 2022

Introduction This dissertation entails a homoeopathic proving of ivory from the male African elephant (Loxodonta africana) 30CH with a subsequent comparison to Lac Loxodonta africana. Objectives The primary objective of this proving was to determine the effects of homoeopathically prepared ivory from the male African elephant (Loxodonta africana) in a 30CH dilution and was achieved by administering the remedy to a group of healthy individuals (provers) who will document all symptoms that arise as a result of taking the remedy. These symptoms will be used to identify the therapeutic indications of homoeopathic ivory. With these specific indications being documented the remedy can then be utilized in the sick individual, that present with similar symptoms, to induce a cure. A further objective of this proving is to report any variation that may exist in the comparison of two remedies, namely Lac Loxodonta africana (milk derived from the African elephant) and the remedy used in this proving, ivory from the male African elephant (Loxodonta africana). Methodology The substance was triturated up until the 3CH and subsequently converted into a liquid potency to be potentised up until the 30CH. Granules were then impregnated with the 30CH liquid potency. Ten impregnated granules were then placed in each individual ii lactose powder sachets. A total of six powders were dispensed to the proving participants. The proving was conducted as a double blind placebo controlled study with a total of twenty-six (26) provers that met the inclusion criteria (Appendix A). The group was made up of both homoeopathic students as well as the general public of varying ages, race and gender. The total group was randomly divided into two groups, twenty (20) of which received the homoeopathic remedy, the remainder (6) received placebo. A full case history of each prover was taken before commencing the proving as well as on completion of the study. Each individual prover kept a journal, starting a week before the proving, which was continued while taking the remedy and ceased when all symptoms had abated. Once all provers had completed the proving, the information received from the provers through the journals from both groups was collated, assessed and analyzed. A comparison was then made between this proving and Lac Loxodonta africana to assess whether any similarities or differences were evident. The comparison was made on symptom similarities and rubric analysis. Results The proving of ivory from the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) revealed a variety of symptoms. A total of 32 systems were affected in the twenty provers who received the remedy. 716 symptoms were recorded, 83 of which were new symptoms. The systems that were predominately affected were the mind, head and extremities. Many symptoms were confirmed to be similar to those identified in the proving of Lac Loxodonta africana, though differences were also acknowledged.

Las porfirias son enfermedades metabólicas hereditarias por déficit enzimático parcial o total en la vía de síntesis del grupo hemo, lo cual lleva a acumulación de porfirinas y precursores tóxicos en los tejidos. La presentación clínica es heterogénea según la enzima afectada, con aumento en la excreción de las porfirinas y/o precursores, lo cual permite el diagnóstico. En el caso de porfiria aguda intermitente, se establece un déficit de porfobilinógeno deaminasa. El tratamiento se basa en aporte metabólico adecuado y suministro de hemina humana. Se describe el caso de una paciente de 17 años de edad con síntomas gastrointestinales recurrentes, desequilibrio hidroelectrolítico severo durante su hospitalización, con cambio de coloración de la orina a la exposición solar y porfirinas en orina aumentadas, por lo que se establece soporte metabólico y posteriormente tratamiento dirigido con hemina humana por la alta sospecha, obteniendo varios días después reporte de niveles elevados de ácido delta amino levulínico. Se concluye que, a pesar de ser un diagnóstico de exclusión, debe considerarse como diferencial, especialmente ante la recurrencia de la sintomatología, sin etiología común identificada y se hace necesario el rápido inicio de medidas generales y manejo dirigido con hemina humana.

The article highlights the results of a study of the psychological characteristics of young judoists aged 13-15 years, the consideration of which is a priority in the educational and training process. In particular, the motivational profile of athletes, volitional qualities, indicators of voluntary self-control and the level of manifestation of situational and personal anxiety were determined. The carried out intercorrelation analysis made it possible to determine a number of relationships. A reliable interconnection of the constituent components of the motivational profile of young judokas with volitional qualities and self-control has been revealed. The strongest relationship was found between achievement motivation and perseverance, as well as self-control and endurance. The higher the personal anxiety among young judokas, the lower the motivation for achievement and manifestation of initiative and independence. The higher the situational anxiety among judokas 13-15 years old, the less pronounced the motivation of social self-affirmation and social self-control.

Such problems as socialization, the formation of children in different countries of the world by age periods are relevant for the research of psychologists, philosophers, sociologists. The development of a child's social intelligence has been important in recent years. The article provides definitions, opinions of scientists on the concept of "social intelligence". Thus, social intelligence is the ability to understand and react to other people or act towards others. The concept of "social intelligence" was first used by E. Thorndike in psychology. Subsequently, many scientists have contributed to the definition and interpretation of this concept. G. Allport associated social intelligence with the ability to express opinions about other people quickly, almost automatically, and predict a person's reaction with maximum accuracy. At the same time, he described social intelligence as a special "social gift" that promotes communication with people.

Published: May 2022

The European Green Deal is the largest economic correction in the history of the EU. Professionals and experts speak about this project during conferences, international meetings, in media and through other channels of communication, but how many people who are not closely related to the field of economics, innovation and science understand the importance of this project? How high is the level of awareness associated with this issue among the other audience – among the active players of this game aimed at improving the environment? A huge number of professionals in the industry are working to find solutions and paths to achieve the Green Deal goals, and, of course, all the scientific representatives who is interlinked with this area strongly support the ideas. But what about young people who are not in the industry – the generation whose role it is to turn ideas into reality? How important and influential is consumer awareness in the context of the European Green Deal course? In order to analyse this issue, the authors consider it important to reveal the topic of the relevance of the problem, consumer behaviour and sustainable mindset from not a strict scientific perspective and paradigm, but from a popular-scientific way. To delve into the study in more detail, the article describes the analysis of the hypothesis of the prism of awareness through the illusion of explanatory depth for young people, who are potential consumers, as well as the engines of the propagation of the movement. . Competent dissemination of information and a positive impact on the young segment in order to increase the level of awareness of environmental aspects is considered to be very important right now, but to what extent are young people, creators of change, are aware of it right now?

The European Green Deal is an attempt to transform the European Union's economy in order to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. This is to counteract undesirable climate change and environmental degradation. In this context, an interesting question is the role of new technologies in the implementation of the European Green Deal. In order to be able to answer this research question, this study is divided into few parts. The first one is an introduction to the analysed issues. The second part presents the basic assumptions of the European Green Deal. The third part presents how new technologies can help in the implementation of European Green Deal strategy. The study ends with a summary containing the conclusions of the conducted research.
EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL STRATEGY AND THE IMPLICATIONS FOR EMPLOYMENT
Authors:   Lazarsky University, Jene Karol
Published: May 2022

The European Commission's set of policy initiatives, whose main objective is to achieve climate neutrality in Europe by 2050, is often put against the economic interests of the Member States, especially in the context of the labour market. Many economists, politicians and trade unionist question whether economic growth, job security and climate neutrality in Europe are compatible. To answer this question, the paper is divided into several parts. The first part presents the main principles of the European Green Deal. The second part confronts the costs of introducing new solutions with the unimaginable losses that Europe may incur if the analysed measures are not taken. The third part of the study critically examines the costs and benefits of the European Green Deal from the perspective of the European labour market. The conclusion of the study puts the lie to the erroneous hypothesis of a collision between the European Green Deal and the efficiency of the labour market in Europe.

Abstract. Thunderstorms can significantly influence the air composition via strong updraft and lightning nitrogen oxides (LNOx).
In this study, the ozonesondes and TROPOMI (TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument) nitrogen dioxide (NO2) observations for two cases are combined with a model to investigate the effects of typical strong convection on vertical redistribution of air pollutants in Nanjing, southeastern China.
The ozonesonde observations show higher O3 and water vapor mixing ratios in the upper troposphere (UT) after convection, indicating the strong updraft transporting lower-level air masses into the UT and the possible downward O3-rich air near the top of UT over the convective period.
During the whole convection life cycle, the UT O3 production is driven by the chemistry (5–10 times the magnitude of dynamic contribution) and reduced by the LNOx (−40 %).
Sensitivity tests demonstrate that neglecting LNOx in standard TROPOMI NO2 products causes overestimated air mass factors over fresh lightning regions and the opposite for outflow and aged lightning areas.
Therefore, a new high-resolution retrieval algorithm is applied to estimate the LNOx production efficiency.
Our work shows the demand for high-resolution modeling and satellite observations on LNOx emissions of both active and dissipated convection, especially small-scale storms.
The role of emission inventories and chemical mechanisms on simulating PM2.5 and organic aerosols with WRF-CHEM
Authors: Paisi Niki , Kushta Jonilda , Van Der Gon Hugo Denier , Violaris Angelos , Lelieveld Jos
Published: May 2022

Air pollution from fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a major environmental health risk associated with morbidity and excess mortality. In Europe, despite the multiple efforts for minimizing air pollution levels, it exceeds the recommended WHO guideline limits in many regions. Since observational data of air pollutant concentrations are spatially incomplete, regional air quality modeling is used to simulate ambient pollutants levels. However, air quality models are not always accurate and many sources of uncertainties are being involved. For example, input data e.g. from emission inventories can play a crucial role in the simulated concentration of air pollutants. Also, several studies have shown that organic aerosols are very prone to model biases and are usually underestimated by the models. This is because organic aerosols are mostly composed of secondary organic aerosols that are formed through chemical reactions in the air, from pathways which are not fully known and are not all included in models. Here, we use the Weather Research and Forecasting model, coupled with chemistry (WRF-CHEM) for simulating the annual mean concentration of PM2.5 and the organic components over Europe. The EDGARv.5 global emission inventory is used as the basic input data for the anthropogenic emissions, and is also combined with the newly updated CAMS-REG-v4-Ref2 emission inventory for the VOCs emissions that originate from residential wood combustion. The latter is used as a complementary source of data for VOCs which are precursors of secondary organic aerosols and are often not well documented in emission inventories. However, CAMS-REG-v4-Ref2 was constructed from updated and harmonized emission factors for residential combustion, thus giving a better representation of these emissions over Europe. This work investigates the role of emission inventories in the simulation of PM2.5 and organic aerosols and aims to quantify their impact on health assessments. We particularly focus on organic aerosols since these are considered more toxic and hazardous to human health than other inorganic fine particles.
An aerosol vertical data assimilation system (NAQPMS-PDAF v1.0): development and application

Published: May 2022

Abstract. Aerosol vertical stratification is important for global
climate and planetary boundary layer (PBL) stability, and no single method
can obtain spatiotemporally continuous vertical profiles. This paper
develops an online data assimilation (DA) framework for the Eulerian
atmospheric chemistry-transport model (CTM) Nested Air Quality Prediction
Model System (NAQPMS) with the Parallel Data Assimilation Framework (PDAF)
as the NAQPMS-PDAF for the first time. Online coupling occurs based on a
memory-based way with two-level parallelization, and the arrangement of
state vectors during the filter is specifically designed. Scaling tests
demonstrate that the NAQPMS-PDAF can make efficient use of parallel
computational resources for up to 25 000 processors with a weak scaling efficiency of up to 0.7. The 1-month long aerosol extinction coefficient profiles
measured by the ground-based lidar and the concurrent hourly surface
PM2.5 are solely and simultaneously assimilated to investigate the
performance and application of the DA system. The hourly analysis and
subsequent 1 h simulation are validated through lidar and surface
PM2.5 measurements assimilated and not assimilated. The results show
that lidar DA can significantly improve the underestimation of aerosol
loading, especially at a height of approximately 400 m in the free-running
(FR) experiment, with the mean bias (BIAS) changing from −0.20 (−0.14) km−1 to −0.02
(−0.01) km−1 and correlation coefficients increasing from 0.33 (0.28) to
0.91 (0.53) averaged over sites with measurements assimilated (not
assimilated). Compared with the FR experiment, simultaneously assimilating
PM2.5 and lidar can have a more consistent pattern of aerosol vertical
profiles with a combination of surface PM2.5 and lidar, independent
extinction coefficients from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal
Polarization (CALIOP), and aerosol optical depth (AOD) from the Aerosol
Robotic Network (AERONET). Lidar DA has a larger temporal impact than that
in PM2.5 DA but has deficiencies in subsequent quantification on the
surface PM2.5. The proposed NAQPMS-PDAF has great potential for further
research on the impact of aerosol vertical distribution.
Satellite observations reveal 13 years of reservoir filling strategies, operating rules, and hydrological alterations in the Upper Mekong River basin
Authors: Vu Dung Trung , Dang Thanh Duc , Galelli Stefano , Hossain Faisal
Published: May 2022

Abstract. The current situation in the Lancang–Mekong River basin is emblematic of the issues faced by many transboundary basins around the world: riparian countries prioritize national water–energy policies and provide limited information on how major infrastructures are operated. In turn, such infrastructures and their management become a source of controversy. Here, we turn our attention to the Upper Mekong River, or Lancang, where a system of 11 mainstream dams controls about 55 % of the annual flow to Northern Thailand and Laos. Yet, assessing their actual impact is a challenging task because of the chronic lack of data on reservoir storage and dam release decisions. To overcome this challenge, we focus on the 10 largest reservoirs and leverage satellite observations to infer 13-year time series of monthly storage variations. Specifically, we use area–storage curves (derived from a digital elevation model) and time series of water surface area, which we estimate from Landsat images through a novel algorithm that removes the effects of clouds and other disturbances. We also use satellite radar altimetry water level data (Jason and Sentinel-3) to validate the results obtained from satellite imagery. Our results describe the evolution of the hydropower system and highlight the pivotal role played by Xiaowan and Nuozhadu reservoirs, which make up to ∼ 85 % of the total system's storage in the Lancang River basin. We show that these two reservoirs were filled in about 2 years and that their operations were marginally affected by the drought that occurred in the region in 2019–2020. Deciphering these operating strategies will help enrich existing monitoring tools and hydrological models, thereby supporting riparian countries in the design of more cooperative water–energy policies.
The effect of changing sea ice on wave climate trends along Alaska's central Beaufort Sea coast
Authors: Nederhoff Kees , Erikson Li , Engelstad Anita , Bieniek Peter , Kasper Jeremy
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Diminishing sea ice is impacting the wave field across the Arctic
region. Recent observation- and model-based studies highlight the
spatiotemporal influence of sea ice on offshore wave climatologies, but
effects within the nearshore region are still poorly described. This study
characterizes the wave climate in the central Beaufort Sea coast from 1979
to 2019 by utilizing a wave hindcast model that uses ERA5 winds, waves, and
ice concentrations as input. The spectral wave model SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) is calibrated and
validated based on more than 10 000 in situ time point measurements collected over
a 13-year time period across the region, with friction variations and
empirical coefficients for newly implemented empirical ice formulations for
the open-water and shoulder seasons. Model results and trends are analyzed
over the 41-year time period using the non-parametric Mann–Kendall test,
including an estimate of Sen's slope. The model results show that the
reduction in sea ice concentration correlates strongly with increases in
average and extreme wave conditions. In particular, the open-water season
extended by ∼96 d over the 41-year time period
(∼2.4 d yr−1), resulting in a 5-fold increase in the
yearly cumulative wave power. Moreover, the open-water season extends later
into the year, resulting in relatively more open-water conditions during
fall storms with high wind speeds. The later freeze-up results in an
increase in the annual offshore median wave heights of 1 % yr−1 and an
increase in the average number of rough wave days (defined as days when
maximum wave heights exceed 2.5 m) from 1.5 in 1979 to 13.1 d in 2019.
Trends in the nearshore areas deviate from the patterns offshore. Model
results indicate a saturation limit for high wave heights in the shallow
areas of Foggy Island Bay. Similar patterns are found for yearly cumulative
wave power.
Comparison of ice dynamics using full-Stokes and Blatter–Pattyn approximation: application to the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream
Authors: Rückamp Martin , Kleiner Thomas , Humbert Angelika
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Full-Stokes (FS) ice sheet models provide the most sophisticated formulation of ice sheet flow. However, their applicability is often limited due to the high computational demand and numerical challenges. To balance computational demand and accuracy, the so-called Blatter–Pattyn (BP) stress regime is frequently used. Here, we explore the dynamic consequences of using simplified approaches by solving FS and the BP stress regime applied to the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream. To ensure a consistent comparison, we use one single ice sheet model to run the simulations under identical numerical conditions. A sensitivity study to the horizontal grid resolution (from 12.8 to a resolution of 0.1 km) reveals that velocity differences between the FS and BP solution emerge below ∼ 1 km horizontal resolution and continuously increase with resolution. Over the majority of the modelling domain both models reveal similar surface velocity patterns. At the grounding line of the 79∘ North Glacier the simulations show considerable differences whereby the BP model overestimates ice discharge of up to 50 % compared to FS. A sensitivity study to the friction type reveals that differences are stronger for a power-law friction than a linear friction law. Model differences are attributed to topographic variability and the basal drag, in which neglected stress terms in BP become important.

Abstract. Evidence for the timing and pace of past grounding line retreat of the Thwaites Glacier system in the Amundsen Sea embayment (ASE) of Antarctica provides constraints for models that are used to predict the future trajectory of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS). Existing cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure ages suggest that Pope Glacier, a former tributary of Thwaites Glacier, experienced rapid thinning in the early to mid-Holocene. There are relatively few exposure ages from the lower ice-free sections of Mount Murphy (< 300 m asl) that are uncomplicated by either nuclide inheritance or scattering due to localised topographic complexities; this makes the trajectory for the latter stages of deglaciation uncertain. This paper presents 12 new 10Be exposure ages from erratic cobbles collected from the western flank of Mt Murphy, within 160 m of the modern ice surface and 1 km from the present grounding line. The ages comprise two tightly clustered populations with mean deglaciation ages of 7.1 ± 0.1 ka and 6.4 ± 0.1 ka (1SE). Linear regression analysis applied to the age-elevation array of all available exposure ages from Mt Murphy indicates that the median rate of thinning of Pope Glacier was 0.27 m yr-1 between 8.1–6.3 ka, occurring 1.5 times faster than previously thought. Furthermore, this analysis better constrains the uncertainty (95 % confidence interval) in the timing of deglaciation at the base of the Mt Murphy vertical profile (~80 m above the modern ice surface), shifting it to earlier in the Holocene (from 5.2 ± 0.7 ka to 6.3 ± 0.4 ka). Taken together, the results presented here suggest that early–mid Holocene thinning of Pope Glacier occurred over a shorter interval than previously assumed and permit a longer duration over which subsequent late Holocene rethickening could have occurred.

Idas y venidas de una realidad “incómoda”. La norma, y, la Ordenación del Territorio como cambio y transformación de los Modelos de Desarrollo. Estudio de Caso
Authors: Sotelo Pérez María , Sotelo Pérez Ignacio , Esparcia Pérez Javier
Published: May 2022

Los cambios en los Modelos de Desarrollo de un territorio, en el ámbito local, en no pocas ocasiones van unidos a decisiones jurídicas que, más allá del ámbito político y geográfico, suponen una verdadera “metamorfosis” de la realidad humana y económica de una comarca como la del “Morrazo”, de forma más concreta de la ría de Pontevedra. De hecho, al examinar el asunto del cual nos ocupamos en esta disertación científica, podemos contemplar como ante la falta de una Ley General (o Ley-Marco) de Medio Ambiente dentro de nuestro actual y vigente ordenamiento jurídico Constitucional, capaz de asimilar y contemplar en relación con el medio ambiente los desafíos proteccionistas y conservacionista que las sociedades contemporáneas exigen y requieren por parte de los poderes públicos establecidos, en los momentos presentes (tal como se difiere del asunto ENCE, aquí estudiado), el ciudadano medio (bien sea a través de las vías ordinarias contempladas para defender cualquier tipo de interés legítimo, bien por medio de la acción pública contemplada en alguno de los cuerpos normativos de literalidad ambiental al uso), no puedan invocar ni la protección de un derecho (como es el derecho contemplado en el articulado constitucional tendente reconocer la posibilidad de disfrutar de un medio ambiente adecuado para el desarrollo de la persona), ni tampoco la posibilidad de proteger determinados bienes (que como en el asunto analizado forman y conforman el denominado dominio público marítimo-terrestre, en este caso de la Ría de Pontevedra), obligando (tanto a los ciudadanos, como a los poderes públicos) a tener que resolver sus controversias (surgidas en torno a la protección y conservación de los recursos) entorno a actos que como en el caso de las concesiones se caracterizan por pertenecer al campo administrativo, interesado exclusivamente en las acciones tendentes a autorizar temporalmente el uso y explotación (es decir utilización) de bienes y recursos mediante el pago de cánones, al margen de cualquier preocupación (y contemplación de responsabilidad alguna) por el resultado final que pueden acarrear finalmente la utilización y el empleo por parte del ser humano de unos determinados terrenos propicios para su explotación.

El “principio de libertad” en el contexto de la economía política liberal del siglo XIX. Algunas consecuencias de su primado en la constitución de la personalidad política
Authors: Martinez Becerra Pablo Rodrigo
Published: May 2022

Algunos liberales del siglo XIX, declaran que el “principio de  libertad”, que articula la forma de Estado que proponen, requiere del complemento de otros principios.  Esta pretensión revisionista nos lleva a preguntarnos por la manera en que se ha entendido dicho principio y cuál ha sido su campo de injerencia individual, social y política. La indagación conduce a establecer una conexión  entre el principio de libertad y la lucha por la superación del régimen de autoridad propio del Antiguo Régimen y, en concreto, con la posibilidad universal de poder ejercer una actividad económica más allá del tutelaje “corporativo” o del vasallaje. De esta manera, el principio de libertad queda ligado al nuevo régimen económico, marcadamente moderno, que intenta encontrar sus propias leyes, más allá del aspecto administrativo, mediante el nuevo campo analítico que inaugura la nueva economía política de los économistes del siglo XVIII. El principio de libertad se confunde, entonces, con el laissez faire, pero, esta máxima no significa, en un inicio, defender el imperio del individualismo posesivo, sino que equivale a la posibilidad de restringir la injerencia del poder político discrecional y arbitrario en la vida de las personas. Sin embargo, pese a ser el principio de libertad, así entendido, el puntal de la configuración de la subjetividad moderna y raíz de la expansión de la personalidad, suscita ciertas conductas antisociales que una buena parte de los mismos liberales intentarán subsanar mediante la acción reguladora de otros principios (asociación y dignidad, principalmente). En síntesis, por medio de diversas fuentes que se han ocupado de deslindar el significado de los principios liberales, que responden a épocas distintas y a escuelas ideológicamente contrapuestas, procuramos definir el principio de libertad y, a su vez, mostrar las consecuencias positivas y negativas que distintos intérpretes han atribuido a su aplicación.
Actualidad de la tradición escolástica en Ortega y Gasset, Zubiri y el último Habermas
Authors: Conill Sancho Jesús
Published: May 2022

Considerando la “actualidad” como una presencia viva, eficaz y revitalizadora, y la “tradición” como aquello en lo que históricamente estamos siempre, este artículo se aproxima, a través de la obra de Ortega, Zubiri y Habermas, a la presencia del pensamiento escolástico en la filosofía contemporánea. En este sentido, desde la admiración y estima a la tradición escolástica, pero muy lejos de considerarse un escolástico, José Ortega y Gasset presta especial consideración a la doctrina de los transcendentales, y a los conceptos de evidencia, conciencia y, muy especialmente, actualidad. Xavier Zubiri, que se forma por razones obvias en dicha tradición, reconoce la poderosa influencia de Suárez, la “riqueza y precisión” del vocabulario escolástico y su “rigor intelectual”, pero si expone las doctrinas escolásticas, las discute y actualiza permanentemente. Su interés se pone de manifiesto al hablar de la sustancia, de la esencia, de la transcendentalidad y, muy especialmente, de la inteligencia, todo lo cual tiene una importancia radical en su reflexión sobre Dios.  Por último, no menos significativo es el caso de Habermas, cuya última obra, Auch eine Geschichte der Philosophie, constituye una genealogía de la razón filosófica en la cultura de Occidente, donde, actualizando a no pocos de los autores escolásticos, la relación entre fe y saber y la controversia sobre la helenización del cristianismo ocupa buena parte de su interés.

Moderation is considered favorable deed in all aspects of life, so the holy religion of Islam has advised its followers to observe it in all parts of their lives. This has characterized Muslims moderate followers as Allah has also declared that He has made Muslims a moderate nation so that they may be witnesses to the people and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) be a witness to the Muslims. Meanwhile, extremism and deficiency are frowned at as they cause destruction and annihilation of human beings like the former nations who were overwhelmed and destroyed by extremism and deficiency. The present article represents a detailed discussion of both extremism and deficiency. Moderation is favorable deed in all aspects whereas extremism and deficiency is an ugly and evil deed. Moderation and balance in life and avoiding extremism and deficiency are crucially important in life.

The expressing the extremist deeds of the People of the Book and their misguidance in beliefs and worships.

Tradição que persiste: entre a tapeçaria de Elke Otte Hülse, o cartão de Rivane Neuenschwander e os ensinamentos de Luiz Ernesto Aroztegui
Authors: Ruschel Nascimento Garcez Luciane , Makowiecky Sandra
Published: May 2022

O presente texto aborda a tapeçaria, entendendo esta como uma forma narrativa de arte ancestral, que tem na história grande importância, e no contemporâneo artistas que extrapolam a técnica, problematizando conceitos e questões pertinentes a esta, a exemplo de Elke Otte Hülse, artista catarinense com trânsito internacional, rompendo fronteiras geográficas e fronteiras do desconhecimento desta técnica secular, em uma interlocução com a artista Rivane  Neuenschwander, em que aplica os ensinamentos de Luiz Ernesto Aroztegui. O estudo aborda também o centenário da Bauhaus, escola de vanguarda, onde a tapeçaria teve grande projeção, bem como a relação que a artista estabelece em algumas de suas obras, com a Bauhaus.
