Idealne ciało Berkeleya. Status ciała w filozofii percepcji George’a Berkeleya wyłożonej w Nowej teorii widzenia
Authors: Gańko Anna 
Published: December 2021

Filozofia George’a Berkeleya to swoiste połączenie idealizmu i empiryzmu. Berkeley jest znany przede wszystkim ze względu na głoszoną przez siebie tezę o nieistnieniu przedmiotów materialnych. W Nowej teorii widzenia przedstawia natomiast proces poznania ugruntowany w percepcji zmysłowej, tym samym przyznając zmysłom uprzywilejowaną rolę w poznaniu rzeczywistości. Artykuł ma na celu próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie o status ciała i cielesności poznającego człowieka w tak zarysowanym procesie poznania w kontekście doktryny immaterialistycznej.
Proponuję takie odczytanie Próby stworzenia nowej teorii widzenia, które nie skupia się na rozumieniu jej treści w perspektywie późniejszego, uznawanego za najważniejsze dzieła Berkeleya: Traktatu o zasadach poznania ludzkiego. Zamiast tego przyglądam się tym fragmentom, w którym Berkeley posługuje się pojęciami związanymi z ciałem i cielesnością – przede wszystkim ideami dotykowymi – żeby zobaczyć, jak, według Berkeleyowskiej doktryny, należy rozumieć zmysłowe ciało poznającego podmiotu.
W swojej dojrzałej doktrynie Berkeley dopuszcza istnienie jedynie dwóch rodzajów bytów: aktywnych umysłów oraz biernych idei. W związku z tym zmuszony jest zmysłowe ciało poznającego człowieka zaliczyć do jednego z nich. W pracy staram się wykazać, że nie mógł zrobić inaczej, jak utożsamić poznające ciało z aktywnym umysłem.
Moc twórczej Jaźni w filozofii Fryderyka Nietzschego
Authors: Lajus Emmanuel 
Published: December 2021

Opierając się na rozwijanych przez Nietzschego pojęciach woli mocy i sensu, starałem się pokazać, pod jakim względem twórcza Jaźń świadczy według niego o największej ludzkiej mocy.
Jedną z najbardziej ogólnych cech mocy jest zdolność istoty do coraz lepszego zawłaszczania sił otaczającego ją świata. Stąd wyłaniają się trzy aspekty mocy: osobisty charakter tej integracji, rozległość zintegrowanego świata i przewyższanie samego siebie, które im towarzyszy. Ale w przeciwieństwie do „archaicznego” człowieka, który usiłuje narzucić swoje bycie światu poprzez władzę, odciskając swoje piętno na świecie jedynie poprzez wąską, zewnętrzną i niezmienną perspektywę swojej woli władzy, mocny człowiek potrafi zawładnąć siłami świata całą swoją istotą, z całą swoją wrażliwością. Jest zdolny do głębokiego zjednoczenia się ze światem, co pozwala mu na integrację dzięki własnej sile plastycznej znacznie szerszego spektrum sił, ale też zmusza go do przewyższenia samego siebie, ponieważ w tym procesie integracji jego własna tożsamość zmienia się. Nadając nowy sens światu, zmienia sens własnego bytu. Ten stosunek do świata i ta moc charakteryzują twórcze jaźnie.
Synaesthesia
Authors: Palmer Helen 
Published: December 2021

The following entry includes firstly a list of synaesthetic portals, and secondly an initial table of scaled sensory modalities following Felicity Colman’s ‘Fragment of a Modalities Map’ (Colman, 2019, p. 985-987). James Joyce famously begins his ‘Proteus’ chapter of Ulysses with Stephen Dedalus describing the ‘ineluctable modality of the visible’ (Joyce, 1922, p. 37). Synaesthesia presents a phenomenon whereby the modality is not merely ineluctible but is also a portal that can potentially link one sensory realm to another, suggesting an infrastructural connectivity that links ostensibly individuated or hermetically differentiated perceptual fields. To describe this process as merely the condition of synaptic short-circuitry affecting a small percentage of human animals does not account for the ways in which synaesthesia is always already at play in all the regular sensory categories, in its experience as and between what analytic philosophers call ‘qualia’, neither does it account for also the ways it can be played as if it were an instrument itself. Perception in general can be perceived as an organ within itself: a desiring organ, as Vicki Kirby says in Quantum Anthropologies (2011, p. 120).
The Glove as Tool To Touch: An Intra-view from Within New Dawn Felipe Duque in Conversation with Swantje Martach
Authors: Martach Swantje , Duque Felipe 
Published: December 2021

New Dawn is a global arts/theories queering project, which was initiated in Berlin in 2020, and which speculates future aesthetics of the glove as “tool-to-touch.“ The present intra-view is a real ‘view-from-within,’ as it unfolds a conversation (a turning, moving, becoming [versare] together [con]) in-between the two members of this project’s theoretical section: Felipe Duque and Swantje Martach.
This intra-view sets out to explore the role the glove plays within the touch. A gloved touch differs from a non-gloved touch, as the glove heightens the touch. The glove functions as a first other that is encountered in the touch, hence it is touched and touching us back. And it is a medium for and mediator of touching other others, as it is through the glove that the ordinarily touched (the world) is touched. By means of this double position in the touch, the glove emancipates from human control. It enables us humans to realize many touches that we alone would not be capable of, and in this way, it emancipates us from our limitations as humans. The glove is a very material invitation to become, that increases with every new gloves invented, a switch to which is just another un/dressing away.
By focusing on the glove/hand entanglement, New Dawn can be read as promoting the haptic sense as a hitherto neglected contributor of the aesthetic. Being self-critical however, we argue that depicting the future of touch by means of the glove eventually is a rather restrictive speculation, as it limits all touch to the one we exert by and experience from hands; whereas reality disposes a multiplicity of touches (e.g. a touch between shoulders, eyes, lips). To expand future touches could thus be an interesting continuation for New Dawn.

BackgroundSoil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are still prevalent among schoolchildren in the Philippines. We evaluated the risk factors associated with STH and the relationship between STH and nutritional indices among schoolchildren aged 9–10 years in Laguna province, the Philippines.MethodsWe used the baseline data from 40 schools enrolled in a randomised controlled trial of the Magic Glasses Philippines health education package. Data on demographic and socio-economic variables, and STH related knowledge, attitudes and practices, were obtained through a questionnaire. Stool samples were collected and assessed for STH egg presence using the Kato-Katz technique. Haemoglobin levels and height and weight of study participants were also determined. The generalized estimating equations approach was used to construct logistic regression models to assess STH-associated risk factors, and the association between any STH infection and anaemia, child stunting, wasting and being underweight. The trial is registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12616000508471).FindingsAmong 1,689 schoolchildren, the prevalence of any STH was 23%. The prevalence of anaemia, stunting, being underweight and wasting was 13%, 20.2%, 19% and 9.5%, respectively. Age, socio-economic status, rural/urban classification of schools and knowledge of STH were significant risk factors for acquiring a STH infection. Moreover, infections with any STH were significantly associated with stunting (P= <0.001) and being underweight (P =<0.003), but not wasting (P =0.375) or anaemia (P= 0.462) after controlling for confounding covariates.ConclusionThe study findings emphasise the need for sustainable deworming in tandem with other measures such as the provision of health education, improvements in sanitation and hygiene, and nutritional programs in order to control STH infections and improve morbidity outcomes in schoolchildren.Trial registrationAustralian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12616000508471).

Published: December 2021

Background
Currently, world is suffering from a respiratory disease names as COVID-19. This is a novel coronavirus (n-CoV), a new strain which has not been previously identified in humans and it has spread in more than 100 locations internationally due to which it is termed as “public health emergency of international concern” (PHEIC) by the World Health Organization So far, no study done as yet to assess whether the dental workforce is aware about the facts and myths related to Covid-19 awareness.

Objective
This study aims to analyze and compare the level of awareness about the facts and myths related to COVID-19 amongst faculty, dental students and prep year students of the College of Dentistry (COD) as part of an awareness campaign.

Methods
An awareness test about COVID-19 was designed using information from the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Myth Busters Awareness webpage. The questionnaire was administrated online to faculty and students, of the College of Dentistry and preparatory year students who had applied for the admission to the dental college using a secure enterprise online assessment platform (Blackboard). The tests were administered over a period of three months from March to June 2020. A written informed consent was obtained.

Results
The online COVID-19 awareness test was administered to 810 participants, out of which 325 (40%) were prep year students, 429(53%%) were dental students, and 56 (7%) were faculty members. Analysis of the results showed that 86% of the Faculty were able to correctly identify the facts and the myths related to COVID-19 followed by 81% of the prep year students and 74% of the dental students. Preparatory year student’s knowledge related to COVID-19 was found to be high when compared to dental students (26.47±4.27, 23.67±6.2). Student to faculty knowledge score did not differ significantly (p = 0.808).

Conclusion
This study reports about a successful pilot test conducted to assess the perceived knowledge about facts and myths related to corona virus amongst the dental workforce.
Bilateral internal thoracic artery use in two-vessel disease does not increase the perioperative risk—A propensity score matched analysis
Authors: Konstanty-Kalandyk Janusz , Kędziora Anna , Mazur Piotr , Litwinowicz Radosław , Kapelak Bogusław , Piątek Jacek 
Published: December 2021

Background
Bilateral internal thoracic arteries (BITA) are uncommonly used in the every-day practice due to safety concerns and technical challenges with Y-grafts. We hypothesized that in-situ BITA use during coronary artery by-pass grafting (CABG) for two vessel disease is equally safe to standard strategy with left internal thoracic artery-left anterior descending artery revascularization and venous graft to other target vessels.

Methods
A propensity score matched analysis was used to compare elective on-pump CABG patients who received in-situ BITA (BITA-group), versus left internal thoracic artery graft to the left anterior descending artery plus vein (SITA-group). Primary end points were 30-days all-cause-mortality, major adverse cardiac events and incidents and deep sternal wound infections.

Results
A total of 50 matched pairs (c-statistics 0.769) were selected from patients operated on between January 2015 and April 2020 using BITA (n = 50) and SITA (n = 2170). There were no inter-group differences in demographics and basic clinical characteristics. The total operation time was longer in the BITA-group (4.0 vs 3.6 hours; p = 0.004). The rate of complete revascularization was similar, as was median aortic cross-clamp time, median extracorporeal circulation time, rate of re-explorations for bleeding, deep sternal wound infections or length of stay. One patient died in BITA group, 3 days after surgery, from a non-cardiac cause. After 36 months, the survival rate was 98% for BITA-group and 96% for controls (log-rank, p = 0.577).

Conclusions
In-situ use of BITA during coronary revascularization for two-vessel disease is as safe and effective, as use of single ITA and vein graft. In-situ strategy abolishes allows to avoid the technically demanding composite graft configuration.
Improved bladder contractility after transplantation of human mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing hepatocyte growth factor into underactive bladder from bladder outlet obstruction models of rats

Published: December 2021

Introduction
An underactive bladder can lead to difficulty in voiding that causes incomplete emptying of the bladder, suggesting the need for a new strategy to increase bladder contractility in such patients. This study was performed to investigate whether human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were capable of restoring bladder contractility in rats with underactive bladder due to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and enhancing their effects by overexpressing hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in hMSCs.

Materials and methods
The hMSCs were transplanted into the bladder wall of rats. Fifty female Sprague-Dawley rats at six weeks of age were divided into five groups: group 1: control; group 2: sham intervention; group 3: eight-week BOO; group 4: BOO rats transplanted with hMSCs; and group 5: BOO rats transplanted with hMSCs overexpressing HGF. Two weeks after the onset of BOO in groups 4 and 5, hMSCs were injected into the bladder wall. Cystometry evaluation was followed by Masson’s trichrome staining of bladder tissues. Realtime PCR and immunohistochemical staining were performed to determine for hypoxia, apoptosis, and angiogenesis.

Results
Collagen deposition of bladder increased in BOO but decreased after transplantation of hMSCs. The increased inter-contraction interval and residual urine volume after BOO was reversed after hMSCs transplantation. The decreased maximal voiding pressure after BOO was restored by hMSCs treatment. The mRNA expression of bladder collagen1 and TGF-β1 increased in BOO but decreased after hMSCs transplantation. The decrease in vWF-positive cells in the bladder following BOO was increased after hMSCs transplantation. Caspase 3 and TUNEL-positive apoptosis of bladder cells increased in BOO but decreased after transplantation of hMSCs. These effects were enhanced by overexpressing HGF in hMSCs.

Conclusion
Transplantation of hMSCs into bladder wall increased the number of micro-vessels, decreased collagen deposition and apoptosis of detrusor muscle, and improved bladder underactivity. The effects were enhanced by overexpressing HGF in hMSCs. Our findings suggest that the restoration of underactive bladder using hMSCs may be used to rectify micturition disorders in patients following resolution of BOO. Further studies are needed before hMSCs can be used in clinical applications.

Aims
To assess the determinants of glycaemic control among patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) presenting at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Ghana.

Methods
The study employed semi-structured questionnaires and review of clinical records of patients 16 years and above with Type 2 Diabetes.

Results
The mean age of participants was 56.6 ± 13.8 years, with majority (71.6%) being females. A total of 161 (59.4%) of patients had poor glycaemic control (HbA1c ≥8.1%; 95% CI: 53.6 to 65.3%). Poor glycaemic control was significantly associated with high body mass index of the patient (AOR 13.22; 95% CI: 1.95 to 89.80), having only elementary education (AOR 5.22, 95% CI 2.12–12.86, p<0.0001) and being on insulin therapy (AOR 2.88; 95% CI: 1.05 to 7.88). On the other hand, seldom coffee intake (AOR: 0.27; 95% CI: 0.11 to 0.64), high physical activity (AOR 1.57, 95% CI 1.06–2.35, p = 0.025) and having a cardiovascular disease (AOR: 0.15; 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.46) appeared to positively influence glycaemic control. Self-monitoring of blood glucose and diet interventions did not appear to influence glycaemic control.

Conclusions
The study results showing that a high proportion of patients attending the Diabetes Clinic with uncontrolled diabetes has serious implications for the management of T2DM diabetes as it suggests that current hospital-based treatment measures are less effective. Comprehensive management of T2DM targeting all the key factors identified in this study and incorporating a multispectral collaborative effort based on holistic approach, combined with non-pharmacological components are strongly warranted.
Childcare attendance and risk of infectious mononucleosis: A population-based Danish cohort study
Authors: Rostgaard Klaus , Stensballe Lone Graff , Søegaard Signe Holst , Kamper-Jørgensen Mads , Hjalgrim Henrik 
Published: December 2021

Background
The risk of infectious mononucleosis (IM) is affected both by crowding and by sibship structure, i.e., number and signed age differential between an index child and a sibling. Siblings provide protection against IM by pre-empting delayed primary Epstein-Barr virus infection with its associated high risk of IM. The association between childcare attendance and risk of IM, on the other hand, has never been studied in a large, well-characterized cohort.

Methods
Danish children born in July 1992 through 2016 with a completely known simple childcare attendance history before age 1.5 years (n = 908,866) were followed up for a hospital contact with an IM diagnosis at ages 1.5–26 years. Hazard ratios (HRs) of IM for an additional year of exposure were obtained from stratified Cox regression analyses, stratified by sex and year of birth, with age as the underlying time scale, adjusted for sibship structure, and sociodemographic variables including parental ethnicity and maternal age.

Results
An additional year of exclusively attending a daycare home (max 5 children) yielded HR = 0.90 (95% confidence interval 0.81–1.00), and similarly, each year of exclusively attending a childcare institution (e.g., crèche) yielded HR = 0.94 (0.84–1.06).

Conclusions
Forwarding enrollment in childcare by a year lowers the risk of IM later in life much less than having an additional sibling of comparable age and has no practical public health implications. We find our results suggestive of a random threshold for successful Epstein-Barr virus infection that is more easily reached by a sibling than the collective of playmates in daycare homes or childcare institutions.

Artificial Intelligence and the Green Transition for 2030
Authors: Heredia Yzquierdo F. Javier 
Published: December 2021

The United Nations have developed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as a global agreement aiming to eradicate extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice and leave no one behind. Agreed by world leaders at the UN in 2015, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) succeed the well-known Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Parts of the Goals directly address environmental issues. Other do indirectly. In response to this growing awareness, the European Union has enacted a number of policies targeting environmental issues, including lowering carbon emissions and water conservation. It can be argued that the EU is at the forefront of addressing the environmental issues outlined in the SDGs. These policies are mentioned in this Paper and they are to be considered strategic.
Artificial Intelligence has been having an impact in human activities for decades. Lately the impact is happening exponentially. The European Union is aware of such a fact and it implements policies towards increasing innovation in the public and private sector, including funding programmes and instruments to foster business development and efficiency in the Union and in the Member States. AI is also capable of having a profound impact in the environmental issues that the Agenda 2030 is bringing.

AbstractThis essay first traces change in, roughly, the epistemology of the humanities from the 1950s to the 21st century. The second section looks at how the meaning and options in moral philosophy altered in more or less the same period. The last and easily most speculative section examines how these changes permeated American culture, and how professional philosophers responded to the challenges of the new political world they inhabited.
Symmetry as a Guide to Post-truth Times: A Response to Lynch
Authors: Fuller Steve 
Published: December 2021

AbstractWilliam Lynch has provided an informed and probing critique of my embrace of the post-truth condition, which he understands correctly as an extension of the normative project of social epistemology. This article roughly tracks the order of Lynch’s paper, beginning with the vexed role of the ‘normative’ inScience and Technology Studies, which originally triggered my version of social epistemology 35 years ago and has been guided by the field’s ‘symmetry principle’. Here the pejorative use of ‘populism’ to mean democracy is highlighted as a failure of symmetry. Finally, after rejecting Lynch’s appeal to a hybrid Marxian–Darwinism, Carl Schmitt and Thomas Hobbes are contrasteden routeto what I have called ‘quantum epistemology’.
Progress and perspectives in total body PET systems instrumentation
Authors: Vandenberghe Stefaan 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Total body positron emission tomography (PET) systems are being developed by different groups worldwide. These systems have potential to change the number of applications in which molecular imaging is used. The change from a short axial field of view (FOV) to a longer one is however associated with a linear increase in the cost of these systems. This may limit their application to a small number of centers (capable of obtaining sufficient research funding). Therefore it remains interesting to see if lower cost systems can be developed and bring total body PET to the clinic for an acceptable budget. The wider availability of this low cost system can also enable more researchers to further optimize and explore the full potential of total body PET.
