Flourishing in a Risky World
Authors: Bates Winton
Published: December 2021

The reviewer discusses how Kathleen Touchstone’s book, Freedom, Eudaemonia, and Risk, raises the big question of why a person would rationally choose to risk their life, as well as prompting readers to think deeply about other issues including the natural rights of children, the point at which human life begins, the virtue of parenting, rules of thumb for charitable giving, and the bequest motive in risking death. He considers that Touchstone makes an important contribution in explaining the role that a person’s concept of identity plays in principled risk-taking and by emphasizing that life is not riskless.
Hunting the Pseudo-Philosopher
Authors: Long Roderick T.
Published: December 2021

In False Wisdom, Gary H. Merrill develops criteria for distinguishing genuine from pseudo-philosophy, and then applies his criteria to several case studies, including Ayn Rand, all of whom he finds to be pseudo-philosophers. While offering a mostly helpful overview of better and worse ways of doing philosophy, Merrill fails to motivate adequately his way of distinguishing pseudo-philosophy from mere philosophical vices, errors, or failings. He is inconsistent in his characterization of the criteria for pseudo-philosophy and his application of those criteria, harbors a narrow conception of what counts as philosophy, and displays a lack of interpretive charity toward several thinkers.
Phantastic, Impressive Rhetoric
Authors: Yang Misti
Published: December 2021

This article develops a theory of rhetorical impression through a critical genealogy of the term phantasia. The genealogy demonstrates cause for understanding phantasia as impression, not image. I trace phantasia as impression through the work of Plato and Aristotle but ultimately argue that the stoics offer the most productive leads for thinking through impressions, materiality, and sensations together. Specifically, I demonstrate how the stoics' concept of lekton can productively mediate the relationship between rhetoric, materiality, imagination, and idealism. In the closing section, I suggest how a theory of rhetorical impression can address lacunae in existing new materialist approaches.
Farewell to Fallacies (and Welcome Back!)
Authors: Popa Eugen
Published: December 2021

Fallacies are traditionally defined as potentially deceptive failures of rationality or reasonableness. Fallacy theories seek to model this failure by formulating standards of rationality or reasonableness that arguers must observe when engaging in argumentative interaction. Yet it remains relatively easy to reject or avoid fallacy judgments even in the most clear-cut cases. In this article, I argue for a pluralist approach to criticism in which the fallacy accusation is only the starting point for a more complex form of criticism. In a pluralist approach, the identification of fallacies works as a first step precisely because it can be so easily set aside. In doing so, the evaluator seeks other evaluative angles that depart from the original one. As a case in point, I exemplify the approach on a piece of argumentative discourse in the scientific context. I conclude by spelling out some of the methodological consequences of the present approach.
Shadows of Doubt: Thornton Wilder and Alfred Hitchcock's America at War
Authors: Alexander Danny
Published: December 2021

Before beginning his military service in the summer of 1942, Thornton Wilder collaborated with acclaimed suspense director Alfred Hitchcock to write the movie Shadow of a Doubt. Despite its simple premise regarding an all-American family endangered by a dark secret, the film reveals both men's concern with the war and the ideologies behind the aggression of the Axis Powers. This article explores how the collaboration built upon the two artists' shared sense of the uniqueness of their dramatic forms, including a similar democratic sensibility and a use of doubles to emphasize the audience's (and western civilization's) vulnerability to the appeal and threat of fascism.

A transformação digital é uma realidade em todas as áreas da atividade humana e vem sendo acelerada pela recente pandemia da Covid-19. O uso de Inteligência Artificial, Data Analytics, Realidade Aumentada, Robots, dentre outras tecnologias viabiliza a automação de processos praticamente em todos os segmentos da economia: agricultura, manufatura e serviços. Entender os fenômenos climáticos e seus impactos no ambiente sempre foi um desafio para o homem que, desde a antiguidade e até os dias atuais, se depara com situações não previstas, que trazem impacto em seu dia a dia, colocando, muitas vezes, a própria vida em risco. Na atualidade, além de buscar entender, o que se busca é prever o clima e seus impactos ambientais, de modo a mitigar os riscos, viabilizar a continuidade do desenvolvimento, preservando a natureza (fauna, flora, recursos naturais etc). O uso de ferramentas computacionais para modelagem numérica que representem este fenômenos é de suma importância, endereçando a necessidade de previsões cada vez mais rápidas e confiáveis. Este projeto analisa ferramentas disponíveis no mercado, que utilizam três modelos numéricos distintos, descrevendo as funcionalidades existentes e a assertividade na previsão de fenômenos climáticos em Santa Catarina

Authors: Losso Alfeu , Quadro Mário , Vitor Adriano , Versage Rogério
Published: December 2021

A NBR ISO 37122 estabelece os indicadores para cidades inteligentes. Este conceito é destacado como prioridade de pesquisa pelo Ministério de Ciência e Tecnologia conforme Portaria nº 1.122/2020/MCTIC em dois tópicos de sustentabilidade: Cidades Inteligentes e controle de Meio Ambiente. Dentre os avanços tecnológicos, a utilização de luminárias LEDs com comando por Telegestão (comando a distância), além da eficácia energética, proporciona a possibilidade de um dispositivo eletrônico instalado em cada poste da cidade com comunicação a Central de Controle e Operação, criando uma malha de informação precisa e georreferenciada. Por outro lado, para analisar as condições climáticas de uma cidade ou município, há falta de disponibilidade de informação dos equipamentos instalados em lugares distintos por acesso remoto on-line, dependendo de coletas com atraso ou mesmo de uso de comunicações com alto custo, como os satélites. Para esse projeto foi escolhido o Município da Palhoça/SC, em uma região denominada de Enseada de Brito, onde as estações serão alocadas por um período que se consiga extrair os dados necessários para uma análise mesoclimática. Portanto, o objetivo geral deste trabalho é associar os equipamentos de medições meteorológicas com a comunicação disponibilizada pela telegestão de sistemas de iluminação pública, enviando dados de forma contínua e instantânea para que possam ser analisados e aferidos por uma central de observação, para (i) criar uma rede de geoprocessamento, oferecendo benefícios para o monitoramento dos ambientes terrestre e marítimo; (ii) analisar as mudanças climatológicas da região; (iii) analisar o comportamento das condições marítimas da região; (iv) interpolar os dados terrestre e marítimo para analisar o comportamento de um mesoclima na região.
Alkali pH’da Escherichia coli’nin VBNC Forma Geçişinde CusS-CusR İki Bileşikli Sisteminin Rolünün Araştırılması
Authors: KAYGUSUZ Özge , DARCAN Cihan
Published: December 2021

Canlı fakat kültürü yapılamayan (VBNC) durum henüz moleküler mekanizması çözülememiş bir süreçtir. Bu çalışmada iki bileşikli fosforlama sistemlerinden birisi olan CusS-R’nin alkalin pH (8.5) ortamında VBNC forma geçişte rollerinin olup olmadığı araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlara göre hem cusS hem de cusR genlerinin nakavt edilmesi pH 7.2 de bir etki göstermezken, E. coli‘nin alkali ortamda yaşamını sınırlamıştır. Yabani tip E. coli W3110’un plak sayımına göre t99 değeri 57 gün iken, bu değer cusS geni nakavt edildiğinde 31, cusR geni nakavt edildiğinde ise 34 gün olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Nakavt edilmiş olan genler plazmit ile tamamlandığında t99 değerinin E. coli cusS mutantı için 62 gün, E. coli cusR mutantı için 61 gün olarak tespit edilmiş olup bu değerler yabani tip E. coli ile benzerdir. Mutantlarda alkali pH’da görülen bu azalmanın VBNC oluşumundan kaynaklanıp kaynaklanmadığını belirlemek için canlı hücre sayımları Live Dead sayımı, CTC sayımı ve DVC sayım metotları ile elde edilmiştir. Bu sayım sonuçlarına göre mutantların plak sayımlarında görülen azalmanın aslında VBNC forma giren bakterilerden kaynaklandığı tespit edilmiştir. Dolayısı ile cusS ve cusR genlerinin VBNC forma geçişte bir rolleri olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

Было продемонстрировано, что аномальная функция коагуляции участвует в прогрессировании COVID-19. Однако связь между уровнем D-димера и тяжестью COVID-19 не ясна. Исследование было направлено на изучение связи между уровнями D-димера и тяжестью COVID-19 на основе литературного обзора. Мы провели поиск в базах данных PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library и Scopus до октября 2021 года. Изменения в уровнях D-димера и тенденции после антикоагуляции являются высокопрогнозирующими факторами внутрибольничной смертности и могут помочь в распределении ресурсов и будущих исследованиях новых методов лечения тяжелой формы COVID-19.

It has been demonstrated that abnormal coagulation function is involved in the progression of COVID-19. However, the relationship between D-dimer levels and the severity of COVID-19 is not clear. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between D-dimer levels and the severity of COVID-19 based on a literature review. We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Scopus until October 2021. Changes in D-dimer levels and trends after anticoagulation are highly predictive factors for inhospital mortality and may aid resource allocation and future research into new treatments for severe COVID-19.

Authors: УТАРОВ Ж.К. , КУРАКБАЕ К.К.
Published: December 2021

Новый тип коронавируса был обнаружен в декабре 2019 года в провинции Ухань Китайской Народной Республики и получил называние SARS-CoV-2, а болезнь назвался COVID-19. Болезнь проявляется многими клиническими симптомами (лихорадка, кашель, одышка, повторяющийся озноб, мышечные боли, головная боль, боль в горле, потеря обоняния (аносмия) и / или вкуса (агевзия) и диарея), но в основном повреждает верхние и нижние дыхательные пути. Поскольку COVID-19 в основном вызывает вирусное поражение легких, многие пациенты попадают в больницу в тяжелом состоянии с острым респираторным дистресссиндромом (ОРДС). Ухудшение состояния при вирусной пневмонии идёт быстрыми темпами, и у многих пациентов уже в течение нескольких часов развивается дыхательная недостаточность, требующая немедленной респираторной поддержки. Учитывая, что новый тип коронавируса пришел в нашу жизнь на десятилетия, уже сейчас необходимо рассмотреть новые направления лечения. В настоящее время рассматриваются различные варианты лечения с целью полного уничтожения вируса или прекращения его дальнейшего развития, в том числе препарат дексаметазон, принадлежащий к группе глюкокортикоидов, который продемонстрировал основную эффективность. На сегодняшний день проведено несколько рандомизированных клинических испытаний (РКИ) с применением дексаметазона, но оптимальная доза и продолжительность применения препарата до сих пор не определены.

Currently, a lot of research is being conducted using various medicines to treat COVID-19 disease, which puts the world at a standstill. In particular, we are talking about the drug dexamethasone, which has the main effect on ensuring that patients are not transferred to the intensive care unit and are not connected to articial lung ventilation. Although several randomized clinical trials have been conducted, the dose of dexamethasone has not yet been rened to suppress or stop the cytokine storm.

Toxicity is important factor to human and environment and can be tested in lab and by computerized models. ProTox-II is in Silico method to assess safety of chemicals to minimize risk health threating to human and other living organisms in nature. Taste of material is another character can be calculated in Silico model like virtualtaste. Here, first attempt of using two computerized methods and hypothetical partial degradation products of four toxics materials used to control agricultural productivity was carried out to predicate taste and toxicity characters. LD50, Toxicity Class, organ and end point toxicities, Tox21-Nuclear receptor signaling and stress response pathways of Chlorfenvinphos, Dichlofluanid, Fonofos, and Methacrifos with their hypothetical degradation products were calculated. Hypothetical degradation products were a results of (C-C, C-O, C-N, C-S, C-P, P-O, P-S, or N-S) bond breakage. The hypothesized degradation chemicals showed that most of them were with sour taste and their toxicity were less class compared to the parent compound but not to non-toxic material (Class 6, LD50 more than 5000 mg/kg). Also, they were structurally toxics and could be interact with molecular cellular target resulting than parent compound if they presented in required concentration.
A nagyvállalati önkéntesség az elmúlt tíz évben : Az Effekteam vizsgálatainak tükrében
Authors: Molnár Klára
Published: December 2021

Magyarországon a nagyvállalatoknál jellemzően a kétezres évek közepén jelentek meg az első önkéntes aktivitások, amelyek többnyire alulról jövő kollegiális, jótékony összefogások formájában, szabadidőben valósultak meg. Az önkéntes keretek, policyk kialakítása, valamint a vállalatok részéről kezdeményezett programok ösztönzése, szervezése inkább a kétezres évek második felében kapott teret a vállalatok társadalmi felelősségvállalási gyakorlatában. Ez összefügg azzal, hogy maga a nagyvállalati társadalmi felelősségvállalás - vagy, ahogy akkoriban a vállalatok és a szakma is nevezte CSR - a kétezres évek közepén bontakozott ki erőteljesen és szilárdult meg a nagyvállalati kultúrában. Ennek következtében a hazai nagyvállalati önkéntesség első fejlődési szakasza az elmúlt 10 évre tehető, ezt az időszakot vizsgáljuk meg az elemzésben. A tanulmányban bemutatjuk, hogyan változott hazánkban a nagyvállalati önkéntesség az elmúlt 10 évben. Elemeire, illetve mutatóira bontjuk az önkéntesség gyakorlatát és egy áttekintő képet formálunk a tervezés, menedzselés, utánkövetés megvalósításáról. Ezenfelül bemutatjuk azokat a tényezőket, amelyek hatást gyakorolhattak, illetve befolyásolhatták a hazai nagyvállalati önkéntesség alakulását.

Diskursus Pluralisme Agama dalam Perspektif Aksi Komunikatif
Authors: Soedjono Sri Rosmalina
Published: December 2021

Discourse on religious pluralism emerged in the west along with the demands of globalization. Where the owner of power over the modern world wants an order that can bring together the various inhabitants of the world by removing various religious barriers and a single claim to the truth. But this current of view becomes problematic when it collides with the truth by various existing religions. The rejection is very strong, especially from within the Islamic religion. Although the concept of pluralism meets equality in Islam which means diversity, but the fundamental paradigm on which pluralism is built is very different, Western Pluralism departs from the value of secularism while Pluralism in Islam's view is built on the truth value of the revelation of the Qur'an and Hadith. Diversity according to Islam does not require that there is a truth that must be recognized together, but the truth of each religion must be defended. Furthermore, even though humans have different religions and views of life, according to Islam, fellow human beings must be able to work together within the boundaries of worldly affairs to create a just and compassionate life together with fellow human beings, while still holding fast to their respective religions. Although the atmosphere of interfaith dialogue does not need to be prevented and hindered each other, all in an atmosphere of freedom and harmony.

Este estudio descriptivo y transversal comparó el nivel de inteligencia emocional percibida (IEP) con la prevalencia o no prevalencia de vida de uso de sustancias psicoactivas (PVU SPA o nPVU-SPA) en 559 adolescentes escolarizados de la ciudad de Montería, Colombia [varones 49,69% y mujeres 50,4%, edad media de 15, rango 12-18 años]. Se aplicó un cuestionario ad hoc para obtener datos sociodemográficos y clínicos valorando la PVU-SPA, y el cuestionario TMMS-24 para la IEP. Aparece con mayor prevalencia de vida de uso el alcohol, seguida del cannabis y el tabaco. Cuando se compararon los grupos según su PVU-SPA o nPVU-SPA, frente a las dimensiones de la IEP, se halló que aquellos que nunca usaron alcohol presentaron una mejor claridad emocional. Las mujeres sin prevalencia de vida de uso de alcohol perciben con mayor claridad sus emociones y las de los demás, pero no se halló diferencias significativas en los grupos y las otras sustancias frente a la IEP. Esta sería un factor protector para el consumo de drogas, particularmente el alcohol y evitaría la aparición temprana del consumo de SPA. Una IEP baja puede llevar al consumo de alcohol, pero su consumo también afectaría las habilidades de la IEP. Se recomienda el desarrollo de investigaciones que midan las habilidades de la inteligencia emocional (IE), trascendiendo solo su percepción. Así mismo, el diseño de programas psicoeducativos en IE para la prevención del consumo de SPA.
Invariance and normality of projections in the dual of Banach algebras
Authors: Barrenechea Ana Lucía , Peña Carlos
Published: December 2021

We study the classes of invariant and natural projections in the dual of a Banach algebra $A$. These type of projections are relevant by their connections with the existence problem of bounded approximate identities in closed ideals of Banach algebras. It is known that any invariant projection is a natural projection. In this article we consider the issue of when a natural projection is an invariant projection.
A reciprocal relation for Hermite polynomials

Published: December 2021

For $x\in \mathbb{R}$, the ordinary Hermite polynomial $H_k(x)$ can be written\begin{eqnarray*}\displaystyleH_k(x)= \mathbb{E} \left[ (x + {\rm i} N)^k \right] =\sum_{j=0}^k {k\choose j} x^{k-j} {\rm i}^j \mathbb{E} \left[ N^j \right],\end{eqnarray*}where ${\rm i} = \sqrt{-1}$ and $N$ is a unit normal random variable.  We prove the reciprocal relation\begin{eqnarray*}\displaystylex^k=\sum_{j=0}^k {k\choose j} H_{k-j}(x)\ \mathbb{E} \left[ N^j \right].\end{eqnarray*}A similar result is given for the multivariate Hermite polynomial.

Published: December 2021

El objetivo de esta investigación es describir la inclusión financiera y el nivel de vida -en base a carencias sociales- que hacen uso de servicios financieros formales, así como identificar la posible relación entre ambas variables.

Es una investigación cuantitativa, transversal-no experimental y correlacional. Se desarrolló y aplicó un cuestionario específico a una  muestra de 100 habitantes de la ciudad de Salinas, SLP., incluidos financieramente. Ninguno de los indicadores de la inclusión financiera alcanza niveles aceptables; tanto acceso y uso, como protección del usuario presentan un nivel intermedio, mientras que la educación financiera tampoco es satisfactoria.

En cuanto a la calidad de vida, el acceso a la vivienda, seguido del acceso a servicios básicos en la vivienda presentan niveles bajos. La calidad de vida y la inclusión financiera tienen una correlación de manera directa con una magnitud de 0.310 (p<0.05). La correlación canónica presenta que un modelo que asocia ambas variables presenta un ajuste aceptable.

Published: December 2021

Este documento examina la relación entre la producción y el desempleo a la luz de la Ley de Okun por sexo para Honduras durante el periodo 1991 – 2019. Se emplea por medio de una regresión simple del modelo de primeras diferencias y estimado por MCO, esto a través de tres enfoques: desde la población total, la población masculina y la femenina. Los resultados de los tres enfoques establecen el signo negativo del coeficiente de Okun como evidencia de la relación inversa entre variaciones del PIB y la tasa de desempleo, en el cual la población masculina es la más afectada por variaciones del PIB debido a una mayor magnitud del coeficiente de Okun, explicado por la estructura laboral hondureña, donde las actividades económicas más relevantes, poseen una mayor participación masculina. Sin embargo, estos coeficientes no son estadísticamente significativos, incumpliendo la ley de Okun para la economía hondureña. Esto implica la no aplicación del modelo para la economía del país como la consideración de más variables que expliquen la causalidad de la tasa de desempleo en un mercado laboral marcado por la informalidad y el subempleo.

In the present work, captopril microspheres using HPMCK100M, HPMCK15M and Carbopol 934 as copolymers were formulated by ionic cross linking technique (ionotropic gelation method) to deliver captopril via oral route. The technique was successfully employed to fabricate captopril microspheres and provides characteristic advantage over conventional microsphere method, which involves an “all-aqueous” system and thus avoids residual solvents in microspheres. Other methods utilize larger volume of organic solvents are costly and hazardous. Micromeritic studies revealed that the mean particle size was in the range of 512-903 μm. Increase in the polymer concentration led to increase in % yield, % drug entrapment effi ciency, particle size, % swelling and % mucoadhesion. The in vitro mucoadhesive study demonstrated that captopril microspheres using sodium alginate along with HPMCK100M as copolymer adhered to the mucus to a greater extent than the microspheres of captopril using albumin along with HPMCK15M and Carbopol 934 as copolymers.
Towards Sustainable Habitats in Turkey
Authors: Oktay Derya
Published: December 2021

Considering the serious environmental and social problems faced during the last few decades and the extensive neglect and devastation of local sources and values, urban development practice cannot be said to be meeting sustainability requirements in most habitats. Urban planning and design are not merely engaged in the visual qualities of urban places but should be recognized as processes through which we consciously shape and manage our habitats with a focus on meeting the requirements of sustainable urbanism. This article firstly explores the logic of sustainable urbanism through a review of its philosophical and practical framework; secondly, it provides a critical assessment of contemporary approaches to sustainable urbanism; and thirdly, it analyses the traditional Turkish (Ottoman) city, which provides valuable clues for sustainable habitats with identity. These evaluations indicate that instead of advocating compactness in all cases, randomly mixing of uses, and promoting car-oriented developments; planners and designers should promote context-sensitive compactness, completeness, and sustainable movement patterns and connectedness. Moreover, rather than relying on standardized urban design guides, practicing ‘green-washed’ architecture and urbanism, creating left-over spaces through planning, and ignoring the peculiarities of the community, practitioners should foster urban identity, promote access to nature and sensitivity to the natural ecology, create sustainable public spaces, and develop social sustainability. These alternative measures are essential for creating sustainability in the urban environment of future habitats.
Spatial Characteristics of Urban Waterfronts
Authors: Seçmen Serengül , Türkoğlu Handan
Published: December 2021

In the second half of the 20th century, urban waterfront development began in North America and spread around the world. During the development process, urban waterfronts were assigned various functions, however following their spatial transformation, various problems such as weak interaction with water, weak physical accessibility, and the loss of historical identity have occurred directly affecting open spaces. Since the 19th century, the transformation of Istanbul waterfronts has occurred in parallel to the urban development process but without being a part of holistic planning approach. In time, the loss of open spaces, the lack of qualities such as the spatial interaction with water, the weak accessibility by public transportation and the lack of diversity for recreational activities have grown into common problems. This article discusses the results of a study focused on the spatial characteristics of open spaces especially referring to historical waterfronts (Eminönü, Karaköy, Kadıköy, Üsküdar, Beşiktaş) in consideration with the qualities of ‘water-based environment’, ‘connectivity and continuity’, ‘imageability’, ‘compatibility’ and ‘looseness’.
