Être en vie sans vraiment l’être ? Autour du « corps naturel ayant la vie en puissance » (De Anima 412a20).
Authors: Mittelmann Jorge 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
John Ackrill argued that Aristotelian bodies are conceptually promiscuous, since they fail to exemplify the modal relations that are expected to hold between their matter and their form. Although “potentially alive”, organic bodies are bound to be ensouled, on pain of lacking the required potential; but to the extent that they are ensouled, they are already actually alive. It seems odd to claim that a body may lack (qua “potential”) what it cannot help having (as necessarily enjoying life). This paper claims that the standard solution (which distinguishes an essentially ensouled body from its underlying inanimate substrate) falls short of the strong unity living beings display, given that nothing in them can be accidentally alive (De Anima 415b13). An alternative proposal is advanced, based on two distinctions Aristotle draws in his philosophical lexicon: (i) both matter and form have a claim to being called “nature”; (ii) formal nature may be found in its subject either (ii.a) in actuality or (ii.b) in potentiality (Met. 1015a18). It is argued that the characterization of organic bodies as “potentially alive” conforms to (ii.b), a pattern that helps explain the specific way in which bodies share in the organisms’ life. Two possible instances of (ii.b) are finally considered by way of illustration.
Evolutionary Foundations for a Theory of Moral Progress?
Authors: Sterelny Kim 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Buchanan and Powell develop a concept of moral progress, and build a middle-range theory of how moral progress comes about. They argue on the basis of their view of the evolutionary origins of normative thought that further moral progress towards more inclusive moral and political systems is possible. In doing so they rebut a conservative reading of the evolution of normative thought: a reading that regards the hope for inclusive moral systems as utopian. Buchanan and Powell argue that this ‘evoconservative’ argument overlooks overwhelming evidence of the adaptive plasticity of normative thought. I agree with their rejection of that evoconservative position, but give an alternative account of the evolutionary foundations of normative cognition and its plasticity. But I also argue that there is a gap in their defence of their view of moral progress: it begs the question against exclusive, relational conceptions of the naturalistic foundations of normative obligations and rights. Their account is less fully naturalistic than they seem to suppose, for it lacks a developed account of the natural facts which make normative claims true, and it is not clear that there is an account to be given that would vindicate their inclusive liberal intuitions about the norms we should have.
Moral Progress for Evolved Rational Creatures
Authors: FitzPatrick William J. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Allen Buchanan and Russell Powell have developed a rich ‘biocultural theory’ of the nature and causes of moral progress (and regress) for human beings conceived as evolved rational creatures with a nature characterized by ‘adaptive plasticity’. They characterize their theory as a thoroughly naturalistic account of moral progress, while bracketing various questions in moral theory and metaethics in favor of focusing on a certain range of more scientifically tractable questions under some stipulated moral and metaethical assumptions. While I am very much in agreement with the substance of their project, I wish to query and raise some difficulties for the way it is framed, particularly in connection with the claim of naturalism. While their project is clearly naturalistic in certain senses, it is far from clear that it is so in others that are of particular interest in moral philosophy, and these issues need to be more carefully sorted out. For everything that has been argued in the book, the theory on offer may be only a naturalistic component of a larger theory that must ultimately be non-naturalistic in order to deliver the robust sort of account that is desired. Indeed, there are significant metaethical reasons for believing this to be the case. Moreover, if it turns out that some of the assumptions upon which their theory relies require a non-naturalist metaethics (positing irreducibly evaluative or normative properties and facts) then even the part of the theory that might have seemed most obviously naturalistic, i.e., the explanation of how changes in moral belief and behavior have come about, may actually require some appeal to non-naturalistic elements in the end.
The Evolution of Moral Progress Meets Social Science: Suggestions to Augment an Ambitious Argument
Authors: Hitlin Steven 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Buchanan and Powell’s ambitious work offers a wide-ranging philosophical treatment about one of social science’s active inquries: human morality and how it evolved. This review humbly offers a brief engagement with the social science of morality, both to support the book’s conclusions and occasionally to build productive interdisciplinary bridges toward an even more fuller treatment of the topic.

Negotiation of meaning in child-child vs. adult-adult interactions: Evidence from low proficiency EFL learners
Authors: Lázaro-Ibarrola Amparo , Azpilicueta-Martinez Raúl 
Published: December 2019

AbstractAlthough adult and child differences have been a central issue in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) little is still known about the relationship between age and interaction. Within the interactionist framework, whose main claim is that conversation, especially when it generates negotiation of meaning, facilitates learning, researchers have suggested that children negotiate less than adults, at different rates and producing fewer moves to check comprehension. However, these claims have been made by comparing children and adults from different studies. In order to offer a more reliable comparison, we examine the interactions of 14 adults and 20 children, at similar levels of proficiency, performing a communicative oral task with (level and age) matched peers.Unlike suggested, children produce as much negotiation of meaning as adults and both age groups primarily use their moves to prevent misunderstandings. In light of these results, some previous claims are questioned and refined.

Published: December 2019

Abstract

Background
The physiopathologies of many neurologic diseases are characterized by related biochemical dysfunctions that could be explored as drug targets. This study evaluated the effect of a methanol leaf extract of Antiaris africana (MEA) on critical bioindices of Parkinsonism and related neurologic dysfunctions in rats with rotenone-induced neurotoxicity.

Methods
Animals were administered 50 or 100 mg/kg MEA for 14 consecutive days. Rotenone (1.5 mg/kg) was administered three times per day on days 13 and 14. Coenzyme Q10 (5 mg/kg) was the reference drug. Complex I activity, dopamine level, activities of acetylcholinesterase, myeloperoxidase, Na+/K+ ATPase and glutamine synthetase, as well as oxidative stress indices were evaluated at the end of the period of treatment.

Results
Rotenone-intoxicated group showed disruption of complex 1 activity, dopamine level, and glutamine synthetase activity with negative alterations to activities of acetylcholinesterase, myeloperoxidase, and Na+/K+ ATPase as well as heightened cerebral oxidative stress. MEA restored brain mitochondria functionality, mitigated altered neurochemical integrity, and ameliorated cerebral oxidative stress occasioned by rotenone neurotoxicity. The activity of A. Africana was comparable with that of 5 mg/kg coenzyme Q10.

Conclusions
These results indicated that A. africana displayed therapeutic potential against Parkinsonism and related neurologic dysfunctions and support its ethnobotanical use for the treatment of neurologic disorders.
Identifying space-time dependent force on the vibrating Euler–Bernoulli beam by a boundary functional method
Authors: Liu Chein-Shan , Li Botong 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
In this paper we estimate an unknown space-time dependent force being exerted on the vibrating Euler–Bernoulli beam under different boundary supports, which is obtained with the help of measured boundary forces as additional conditions.
A sequence of spatial boundary functions is derived, and all the boundary functions and the zero element constitute a linear space.
A work boundary functional is coined in the linear space, of which the work is approximately preserved for each work boundary function.
The linear system used to recover the unknown force with the work boundary functions as the bases is derived and the iterative algorithm is developed, which converges very fast at each time step.
The accuracy and robustness of the boundary functional method (BFM) are confirmed by comparing the estimated forces under large noise with the exact forces.
We also recover the unknown force on the damped vibrating Euler–Bernoulli beam equation.
A Flow Dynamic Characteristic Analysis of A Single Radial Swirler Combustor
Authors: Lee Kyobin , Kim Jong-Chan , Sung Hong-Gye 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
A diffusion combustor with a single radial swirler in non-reacting condition is investigated via a large eddy simulation (LES). Three dynamic analysis methods – the fast Fourier transform (FFT), proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) – are implemented to investigate the flow dynamic characteristics of the combustor. The kerosene-air combustor analyzed in the study was designed by the German Aerospace Center (DLR). It has a square cross-section and uses kerosene as fuel, which is modeled as a pre-vaporized and surrogated fuel consisting of 242 species. The first tangential(1T) mode in combustor caused by the swirler emerges dominantly in the combustor. This 1T mode exhibits the largest amount energy in the combustor dynamics, as verified by POD, and the DMD analysis determines the frequency of 1876.8 Hz. The fuel injector dynamics is associated with Helmholtz resonator frequency of 816.5 Hz. To analyze the instability, the DMD method is employed to investigate the growth rate of the most dominant dynamic structure.
Reconsidering Ambrose’s Reception of Basil’s Homiliae in Hexaemeron: The Lasting Legacy of Origen
Authors: Pierce Alexander H. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
In the late 380 s, Ambrose of Milan preached nine Lenten homilies on the “six days” of Genesis 1. Basil of Caesarea’s Homiliae in Hexaemeron (ca. 378) has long been recognized as a source for Ambrose. To study Ambrose’s reception of Basil is, however, complicated by Ambrose’s familiarity with other early Christian thinkers, as is attested by Jerome’s assertion in Epistula 84,7 that “Ambrose also compiled from his [Origen’s] Hexaemeron, in such a way that he conforms more nearly to the thoughts of Hippolytus and Basil.” Jerome’s sweeping judgment, whether or not we should take it at face value, suggests that Ambrose in some way borrowed from Origen while claiming the authority of Hippolytus and Basil. In an attempt to consider the reliability of Jerome’s testimony, this article considers the extent to which Jerome’s depiction of Ambrose’s use of Origen and Basil can be validated by looking more closely at the way their respective views of the nature, origin, and relation of spiritual and material creation arise out of their exegesis of Genesis. Attending to the legacy of Origen in Basil and Ambrose enhances our understanding of Ambrose’s subtle and selective use of the theological and interpretive traditions of earlier Christianity.
Sound and Unsound Teachings in the Ad Evagrium (CPG 3222/1774): Problems of Authenticity and Doctrinal Context of a Pseudo-Gregorian Work
Authors: Celia Francesco 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Among the works ascribed to Gregory Thaumaturgus, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Gregory of Nyssa there is one entitled, in Greek, Ad Evagrium monachum, de deitate, and, in Syriac, Ad Philagrium, de consubstantiali, which deals with the issue of whether the nature of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is simple or composite. While the attributions to the Cappadocians have been ruled out on the basis of its Monarchian contents, current scholarship is still completely divided in dating it to the third or to the fourth century, so that the mutually exclusive hypotheses that the Thaumaturgus was its author and that Evagrius of Pontus was its addressee have continued to coexist. This study accounts for the investigations of previous scholars and focuses on those doctrinal contents which are attacked and endorsed in the work and which allow us to date it with some degree of certainty. It is argued that the main polemical focus of the Ad Evagrium was Eunomius’ theory of names and that it was written by an exponent of the Marcellian party in the late 370 s.
Jiu-Jitsu-Specific Performance Test: Reliability Analysis and Construct Validity in Competitive Athletes

Abstract
da Silva Junior, JN, Kons, RL, de Lucas, RD, and Detanico, D. Jiu-jitsu-specific performance test: Reliability analysis and construct validity in competitive athletes. J Strength Cond Res 36(1): 174–179, 2022—The aim of this study was twofold: to analyze the test-retest reliability and sensitivity of Jiu-Jitsu “anaerobic” performance test (JJAPT) variables, and to determine the construct validity of JJAPT by comparing groups of athletes with different levels and technical profiles. Sixty Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) athletes participated in this study. The reliability analysis was performed with all athletes and the construct validity was tested in the group comparisons—novice vs. advanced level and guard versus pass fighters. From the JJAPT, the number of repetitions, rate of perceived exertion (RPE) and average heart rate were assessed over the 5 sets. The test-retest reliability was assessed by absolute and relative analysis for each variable. The construct validity was tested by comparison means and the receiving operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used with the level of significance set at 5%. The main results demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability for all but the RPE in the first sets, with good sensitivity and agreement. The maximal number of repetitions in the JJAPT showed good construct validity, as it showed sensitivity to discriminate the performance between the advanced and novice BJJ athletes (p < 0.001, ROC curve area of 0.95). However, no significant difference was found between the technical profile groups (p > 0.05). We concluded that the JJAPT presents excellent performance reliability as a specific-sport test. In addition, the test presented evidence of construct validity, because it discriminated the performance between the advanced and novice BJJ athletes.

Abstract
de Freitas, MC, Cholewa, JM, Panissa, VLG, Toloi, GG, Netto, HC, Zanini de Freitas, C, Freire, RV, Lira, FS, and Rossi, FE. Acute capsaicin supplementation improved resistance exercise performance performed after a high-intensity intermittent running in resistance-trained men. J Strength Cond Res 36(1): 130–134, 2022—We sought to investigate the acute effects of capsaicin supplementation on the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) and heart rate during high-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) and resistance exercise performance executed after HIIE in resistance-trained men. Eleven resistance-trained men completed 2 randomized, double-blind trials: capsaicin condition or a placebo condition. The concurrent exercise session was composed of a 5-km intermittent run (1:1 effort and passive recovery ratio) and subsequent resistance exercise (4 × 70% of 1RM until muscle failure in the half-squat exercise). Heart rate was recorded during HIIE and after the protocol RPE (0–10 scale) was accessed. The resistance exercise performance was analyzed by the maximum number of repetitions performed for each set and the total volume (repetitions × weight lifted). During HIIE, the RPE (capsaicin = 7 ± 1 vs. placebo = 8 ± 1 points, t = −3.674, p = 0.005) and mean heart rate (capsaicin = 153 ± 13 vs. placebo = 158 ± 12 bpm, t = −2.292, p = 0.048) were significantly lower in the capsaicin compared with placebo condition. For subsequent resistance exercise, there was a significant decrease in volume across time (F = 19.889, p < 0.001, η2
= 0.69) with maximal number of repetitions performed in capsaicin than placebo condition (2,077.6 ± 465.2 kg vs. 1,838.9 ± 624.1 kg, p = 0.028, d = 0.43), but the condition vs. set was not significant (F = 0.582, p = 0.632, η2
= 0.06). Acute capsaicin supplementation induced a lower mean heart rate and RPE during HIIE and improved subsequent resistance exercise performance in resistance-trained men.
Locus Coeruleus Norepinephrine Drives Stress-Induced Increases in Basolateral Amygdala Firing and Impairs Extinction Learning

Published: December 2019

Stress impairs extinction learning, and these deficits depend, in part, on stress-induced norepinephrine (NE) release in the basolateral amygdala (BLA). For example, systemic or intra-BLA administration of propranolol reduces the immediate extinction deficit (IED), an impairment in extinction learning that occurs when extinction trials are administered soon after fear conditioning. Here, we explored whether locus coeruleus (LC)-NE regulates stress-induced changes in spike firing in the BLA and consequent extinction learning impairments. Rats were implanted with recording arrays in the BLA and, after recovery from surgery, underwent a standard auditory fear conditioning procedure. Fear conditioning produced an immediate and dramatic increase in the spontaneous firing of BLA neurons that persisted (and in some units, increased further) up to an hour after conditioning. This stress-induced increase in BLA firing was prevented by systemic administration of propranolol. Conditioning with a weaker footshock caused smaller increases in BLA firing rate, but this could be augmented by chemogenetic activation of the LC. Conditioned freezing in response to a tone paired with a weak footshock was immune to the IED, but chemogenetic activation of the LC before the weak conditioning protocol increased conditioned freezing behavior and induced an IED; this effect was blocked with intra-BLA infusions of propranolol. These data suggest that stress-induced activation of the LC increases BLA spike firing and causes impairments in extinction learning. Stress-induced increases in BLA activity mediated by LC-NE may be a viable therapeutic target for individuals with stress- and trauma-related disorders.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTPatients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) show heightened amygdala activity; elevated levels of stress hormones, including norepinephrine; and are resistant to the extinction of fear memories. Here, we show that stress increases basolateral amygdala (BLA) spike firing. This could be attenuated by systemic propranolol and mimicked by chemogenetic activation of the locus coeruleus (LC), the source of forebrain norepinephrine (NE). Finally, we show that LC-NE activation is sufficient to produce extinction deficits, and this is blocked by intra-BLA propranolol. Stress-induced increases in BLA activity mediated by LC-NE may be a viable therapeutic target for individuals with PTSD and related disorders.
ІНТЕРАКТИВНІ ТЕХНОЛОГІЇ У ПІДГОТОВЦІ МАЙБУТНІХ ЛОГОПЕДІВ
Authors: Melnychuk Iryna 
Published: December 2019

У статті узагальнено, що професійна підготовка майбутніх логопедів базується на опануванні студентами вмінь корегувати окремі складники порушеної мовленнєвої діяльності, що проявляються на ранніх етапах розвитку дитини. Актуалізовано використання інтерактивних технологій у підготовці майбутніх логопедів, які покликані опанувати вміння і навички організації оптимальної міжособистісної взаємодії з дітьми-логопатами.
Мета дослідження – розкрити можливості інтерактивних технологій у підготовці майбутніх логопедів до роботи за фахом та обґрунтувати методику використання інтерактивних вправ у роботі логопедів.
Установлено, що для корекційно-розвиткової роботи з дітьми з тяжкими порушеннями мовлення фахівці-логопеди можуть використовувати інтерактивні завдання. Майбутні логопеди в процесі професійної підготовки повинні апробувати такі інтерактивні вправи, які зможуть використовувати на заняттях з дітьми-логопатами. До таких завдань відносимо вправи для артикуляційної гімнастики. У статті наведено приклади окремих інтеракцій для навчання майбутніх логопедів роботи з дітьми-логопатами.
Доведено, що в професійній підготовці майбутніх логопедів необхідно зорієнтовувати студентів на розробку індивідуальної стратегії корекції порушень мовлення в розвитку кожної дитини. Задля цього доцільно спочатку апробувати на заняттях окремі інтерактивні вправи, які майбутні фахівці можуть адаптувати для цілеспрямованого розвитку мовленнєвої діяльності окремо взятої дитини, яка має індивідуальні специфічні мовленнєві порушення, пов’язані з психофізичними змінами в організмі, проблемами здоров’я, що ускладнюють соціальну адаптацію, навчання, розвиток дітей.
Отже, використання інтерактивних технологій у процесі професійної підготовки майбутніх логопедів має на меті розв’язання кількох важливих і взаємопов’язаних завдань: спрямованість професійної освіти на реальну практичну діяльність фахівця-логопеда, що сприятиме зростанню рівня його конкурентної спроможності на сучасному ринку праці; формування вмінь застосовувати особистісно зорієнтований підхід до дітей з різними логопедичними проблемами; розвиток креативності в розробці індивідуальних стратегій організації інтерактивної взаємодії з дітьми-логопатами шляхом адаптації апробованих під час навчання інтерактивних вправ і технологій.
