A Democracia em Marx: o contexto do surgimento e a ambivalência do conceito
Authors: Müller Marcos Lutz 
Published: August 2024

After a short characterization of the concept of democracy in its classical and ancient meaning (1), after a brief reference to the transformations it underwent by late 18th century (2) and both to its consolidation as representative democracy and to the signs of exhaustion pertaining political representation (3), this article shows how Marx’ approach to democracy departs from the modern separa tion between civil society and state, first conceptually established by Hegel, and how the sublation (Aufhebung) of modern civil society’santagonisms within the state’s “concrete universal”, as suggested by Hegel, is an “illusory” overcoming (4). But the young Marx’ critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, of speculative dialectic’s “false positivism” and the transcendent character of political state does not hinder his partaking of some of Hegel’s most central political theses and, in The Capital, of certain aspects of the dialectical “presentation” (Darstellung ) (5, 6). Marx diagnoses and critiques the Hegelian attempt at overcoming modern civil society’s antagonisms and atomism by means of a political representation through estates and corporations as an historical regression and as aconfirmation of social atomism and the individual’s isolation (7). He inverts Hegel’s claim that “the individuals” participate “as a whole” within the state’s universal issues into the claim that “all individuals as singulars” – i.e., as “generic”, entirely socialized singulars of a society which does not determines itself by aliena ted work and private property – realize universality (classically thought of as political) within non-atomized social relations of “human common -being (Gemeinwesen)” (8, 9). In this realization of the political universal within the immanence of human “common -being”, to be reached by means of active and passive universal suffrage, democracy’s ambivalence comes to light, now considered in the dynamics of the dissolution of the democracy which is still “democratic republic” into the “true democracy”, conceived of as the “people’s self -determination” and the sublation of the opposition between the social and political spheres (10, 11, 12). Thus, Marx’s original insight pertaining the critique of the autonomy and transcendence of the political sphere leads to the concept of a radical democracy, whose “constitution” (in its ontological meaning) results out of a continuous creation of the people’s sovereign will, which brings the “true human common -being” i nto effectivity (13).
Eduard Gans’ Hegelianism and the Verein für Cultur und Wissenschaft des Judentums: Reconsideration of a constellation regarding Heinrich Heine’s relationship to Hegel
Authors: Scherübl Florian 
Published: August 2024

When Heinrich Heine entered the Berlin based Verein für Cultur und Wissenschaft des Judentums in 1822 this club´s aim was to achieve and anticipate a greater merging of Jewish and European culture, both thought of as separated around that time. Thanks to the philosophical input of Eduard Gans, the Verein´s project was founded on a Hegelian understanding of history and culture. Until today this early Hegelian influence in the Verein hasn´t been considered, at least not when it comes to the estimation of Heine´s relationship to Hegel. Neither were the problems that Heine seemed to have with some of his friend´s Hegelian notions. This paper seeks to explore the Hegelian background of the Verein in the light of[A1] Eduard Gans´ philosophical mediation and tries to highlight some aspects that point out towards an ongoing conflict between Hegelianism and Judaism throughout Heine´s work.

Ktahkomiq : la langue comme territoire en soi(t)
Authors: Burelle Julie 
Published: August 2024

Cet article traite du spectacle Ktahkomiq (« Territoire ») créé en 2017 par Dave Jenniss et Ivanie Aubin-Malo avec le soutien dramaturgique de Catherine Joncas. Je me penche sur le protocole de création qu’ont développé les artistes afin d’explorer, en répétition et sur scène, un conflit de longue date divisant leur communauté sans chercher à en supprimer les aspects irréconciliables. J’examine les moments de refus et de rapprochement qui donnent forme au spectacle et le rôle qu’a finalement joué la langue wolastoqey comme territoire commun pour les artistes.
Investigation of Urban Heat Island Based on Remote Sensing and GIS
Authors: Amanova Shahnaz , Hajiyeva Afag , Jafarova Firuza 
Published: August 2024

In modern times, cities and cities' economy are the main causes of global problems. For this reason, the study of cities is an urgent issue. Our goal is to study the temperature of the elements of climate in Shirvan, one of the big cities in the Republic of Azerbaijan, and to analyze urban heat islands. Landsat satellite images were decoded and analyzed using Remote Sensing and GIS technologies during the study. It was determined that the surface temperature in the northwestern and western parts of the city is unfavourable for the health of the population in the summer months. At this time, the temperature indicators in the areas of the city close to the banks of the Kura river are quite favourable as a result of the influence of the river. The intensive development of the industry in the city and the large population have caused the energy consumption to be higher than in other areas. The presence of an urban lifestyle and the construction of asphalted roads have led to the creation of urban heat islands.
Articulating the Problems Encountered of Pre-service Mathematics Teachers in Conceptual Teaching Training
Authors: Teng Yufang , Yang Zezhong 
Published: August 2024

This study’s participants consisted of 31 master students in a university. Open-ended interviews were used to collect data to investigate the challenges they face in their conceptual teaching training. The method of data processing is as follows: first, the interview audio is transcribed to textual data. Then, the text data is analyzed and encoded. Finally, the detailed table is generated through Excel. It was found that the problems existing in the conceptual teaching training of pre-service mathematics teachers were related to their mathematical knowledge reserve, teaching and external conditions. It was found that specific challenges they face included: 1.a poor grasp of the system of mathematical concepts; 2. difficulties in explanation the relationship and application of concepts; 3. problems in the use of teaching language; 4. difficulties in integrating technology and teaching; 5. lack of understanding of the learning situation; 6.choice of methods, selection and organization of materials; 7. problems in introducing concepts; 8.lack of professional teacher guidance. Based on the findings, it is suggested that:1. Pre-service mathematics teachers need to work hard to learn mathematical concepts and gain a deeper understanding of the conceptual network system; 2. In the training process of conceptual teaching, pre-service mathematics teachers should ensure the accuracy of the teaching language and avoid over-emphasis the abstract definition language of concepts, and endeavor to learn relevant knowledge of technology and try to integrate it with the conceptual teaching; 3. Through the knowledge of psychology, the externship and mathematics exercises in senior high school, etc. to understand the learning situation and analyze the test points; 4. In the specific process of concept teaching, pre-service teachers can select materials from the history of mathematics and real life that can be linked to the concepts, and introduce concepts from examples, activities and relationships between concepts; 5. Colleges and universities should be equipped with professional teachers to provide guidance for pre-service teachers, increase the investment in micro classrooms and improve the efficiency of their use.

Published: August 2024

Background: Gastrointestinal perforation is a common surgical problem in paediatric surgical ward in our country. It carries a high morbidity and mortality in children. The predictors of postoperative morbidity and mortality are still not well established.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify the predictors of morbidity and mortality following surgery for gastrointestinal perforation in children.
Methods: This was a single centre cross sectional type of descriptive observational study carried out in the Department of Paediatric Surgery, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital with 16-month duration from 1st January, 2017 to April 30, 2018, in children aged from 2-12 years. Predictors related to postoperative morbidity and mortality were investigated.
Results: A total of 40 patients were selected for this study with mean age of 8.92±2.61 years. Male: female was 1.5:1. Analysis indicated that factors associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality were low BMI, poor nutritional status, low serum total protein and albumin, delay in seeking treatment and contaminated peritoneal collection. Appendicular perforation was the highest number perforation in 23(57.5%) patients. Ileal perforation was the second highest number 8(20%). Appendectomy was the highest surgical procedure 21(52.5%), followed by resection-anastomosis and wound excision & repair 3(7.5%) each. Serum total protein and albumin were below normal limit among 15(37.5%) and 35(87.5%) patients respectively. 13(32.5%) patients received treatment 72 hours after onset of symptom and 18(45%) patients undergone operation within 24-48 hours of admission. Postoperative complications developed in 30 patients. Among them SSI were in 20(66.66%), SIRS in 9(30%) and leakage of repair in 1(3.33%) patient. Mortality rate was 5%. Conclusion: Poor nutritional status, low total serum protein and albumin, delay in initiation of treatment, and contaminated peritoneal fluid are the predictors of morbidity and mortality of gastrointestinal perforation in children.
Global output‐feedback control of systems with dynamic nonlinear input uncertainties through singular perturbation‐based dynamic scaling
Authors: Krishnamurthy P. , Khorrami F. 
Published: September 2015

SummaryA general class of uncertain nonlinear systems with dynamic input nonlinearities is considered. The system structure includes a core nominal subsystem of triangular structure with additive uncertain nonlinear functions, coupled uncertain nonlinear appended dynamics, and uncertain nonlinear input unmodeled dynamics. The control design is based on dual controller/observer dynamic high‐gain scaling with an additional dynamic scaling based on a singular perturbation‐like redesign to address the non‐affine and uncertain nature of the input appearance in the system dynamics. The proposed approach yields a constructive global robust adaptive output‐feedback control design that is robust to the dynamic input uncertainties and to uncertain nonlinear functions allowed throughout the system structure.

AbstractWe report on an effective cluster expansion of CuBr‐linked aggregates by the increase of the steric bulk of the CpR ligand in the pentatopic molecules [CpRFe(η5‐P5)]. Using [CpBIGFe(η5‐P5)] (CpBIG=C5(4‐nBuC6H4)5), the novel multishell aggregate [{CpBIGFe(η5:2:1:1:1:1:1‐P5)}12(CuBr)92] is obtained. It shows topological analogy to the theoretically predicted I‐C140 fullerene molecule. The spherical cluster was comprehensively characterized by various methods in solution and in the solid state.
The 2015 IWGDF guidance documents on prevention and management of foot problems in diabetes: development of an evidence‐based global consensus
Authors: Bakker K. , Apelqvist J. , Lipsky B.A. , Van Netten J.J. ,   on behalf of the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF)
Published: September 2015

AbstractFoot problems complicating diabetes are a source of major patient suffering and societal costs. Investing in evidence‐based, internationally appropriate diabetic foot care guidance is likely among the most cost‐effective forms of healthcare expenditure, provided it is goal‐focused and properly implemented. The International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) has been publishing and updating international Practical Guidelines since 1999. The 2015 updates are based on systematic reviews of the literature, and recommendations are formulated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation system. As such, we changed the name from ‘Practical Guidelines’ to ‘Guidance’. In this article we describe the development of the 2015 IWGDF Guidance documents on prevention and management of foot problems in diabetes. This Guidance consists of five documents, prepared by five working groups of international experts. These documents provide guidance related to foot complications in persons with diabetes on: prevention; footwear and offloading; peripheral artery disease; infections; and, wound healing interventions. Based on these five documents, the IWGDF Editorial Board produced a summary guidance for daily practice. The resultant of this process, after reviewed by the Editorial Board and by international IWGDF members of all documents, is an evidence‐based global consensus on prevention and management of foot problems in diabetes. Plans are already under way to implement this Guidance. We believe that following the recommendations of the 2015 IWGDF Guidance will almost certainly result in improved management of foot problems in persons with diabetes and a subsequent worldwide reduction in the tragedies caused by these foot problems.

Quantity over quality: light intensity, but not red/far‐red ratio, affects extrafloral nectar production in Senna mexicana var. chapmanii
Authors: Jones Ian M. , Koptur Suzanne 
Published: September 2015

AbstractExtrafloral nectar (EFN) mediates food‐for‐protection mutualisms between plants and insects and provides plants with a form of indirect defense against herbivory. Understanding sources of variation in EFN production is important because such variations affect the number and identity of insect visitors and the effectiveness of plant defense. Light represents a potentially crucial tool for regulating resource allocation to defense, as it not only contributes energy but may help plants to anticipate future conditions. Low red/far‐red (R/FR) light ratios can act as a signal of the proximity of competing plants. Exposure to such light ratios has been shown to promote competitive behaviors that coincide with reduced resource allocation to direct chemical defenses. Little is known, however, about how such informational light signals might affect indirect defenses such as EFN, and the interactions that they mediate. Through controlled glasshouse experiments, we investigated the effects of light intensity, and R/FR light ratios, on EFN production in Senna mexicana var. chapmanii. Plants in light‐limited conditions produced significantly less EFN, and leaf damage elicited increased EFN production regardless of light conditions. Ratios of R/FR light, however, did not appear to affect EFN production in either damaged or undamaged plants. Understanding the effects of light on indirect defenses is of particular importance for plants in the threatened pine rockland habitats of south Florida, where light conditions are changing in predictable ways following extensive fragmentation and subsequent mismanagement. Around 27% of species in these habitats produce EFN and may rely on insect communities for defense.
Symmetry and range limits in importance indices
Authors: Seifan Tal , Seifan Merav 
Published: September 2015

AbstractRecently, Mingo has analyzed the properties of Iimp, an importance index, and demonstrated that its range is not symmetrical. While agreeing with this comment, we believe that more light needs to be shed on the issue of symmetry in relation to such indices. Importance indices are calculated using three values: performance of the organism in the absence and in the presence of neighbors and maximum performance of the organism in ideal conditions. Because of this structure, importance indices can hardly ever achieve symmetry along the whole range of potential performances. We discuss the limitation of the symmetry range for different symmetry types and for both additive and multiplicative indices. We conclude that importance indices, as other interactions indices, are practical tools for interpreting ecological outcomes, especially while comparing between studies. Nevertheless, the current structure of importance indices prevents symmetry along their whole range. While the lack of “perfect” symmetry may call for the development of more sophisticated importance metrics, the current indices are still helpful for the understanding of biological systems and should not be discarded before better alternatives are well established. To prevent potential confusion, we suggest that ecologists present the relevant index symmetry range in addition to their results, thus minimizing the probability of misinterpretation.
Estimating occupancy dynamics for large‐scale monitoring networks: amphibian breeding occupancy across protected areas in the northeast United States
Authors: Miller David A. W. , Grant Evan H. Campbell 
Published: September 2015

AbstractRegional monitoring strategies frequently employ a nested sampling design where a finite set of study areas from throughout a region are selected and intensive sampling occurs within a subset of sites within the individual study areas. This sampling protocol naturally lends itself to a hierarchical analysis to account for dependence among subsamples. Implementing such an analysis using a classic likelihood framework is computationally challenging when accounting for detection errors in species occurrence models. Bayesian methods offer an alternative approach for fitting models that readily allows for spatial structure to be incorporated. We demonstrate a general approach for estimating occupancy when data come from a nested sampling design. We analyzed data from a regional monitoring program of wood frogs (Lithobates sylvaticus) and spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) in vernal pools using static and dynamic occupancy models. We analyzed observations from 2004 to 2013 that were collected within 14 protected areas located throughout the northeast United States. We use the data set to estimate trends in occupancy at both the regional and individual protected area levels. We show that occupancy at the regional level was relatively stable for both species. However, substantial variation occurred among study areas, with some populations declining and some increasing for both species. In addition, When the hierarchical study design is not accounted for, one would conclude stronger support for latitudinal gradient in trends than when using our approach that accounts for the nested design. In contrast to the model that does not account for nesting, the nested model did not include an effect of latitude in the 95% credible interval. These results shed light on the range‐level population status of these pond‐breeding amphibians, and our approach provides a framework that can be used to examine drivers of local and regional occurrence dynamics.

ABSTRACTDiseases often cooccur in individuals more often than expected by chance, and may be explained by shared underlying genetic etiology. A common approach to genetic overlap analyses is to use summary genome‐wide association study data to identify single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with multiple traits at a selected P‐value threshold. However, P‐values do not account for differences in power, whereas Bayes’ factors (BFs) do, and may be approximated using summary statistics. We use simulation studies to compare the power of frequentist and Bayesian approaches with overlap analyses, and to decide on appropriate thresholds for comparison between the two methods. It is empirically illustrated that BFs have the advantage over P‐values of a decreasing type I error rate as study size increases for single‐disease associations. Consequently, the overlap analysis of traits from different‐sized studies encounters issues in fair P‐value threshold selection, whereas BFs are adjusted automatically. Extensive simulations show that Bayesian overlap analyses tend to have higher power than those that assess association strength with P‐values, particularly in low‐power scenarios. Calibration tables between BFs and P‐values are provided for a range of sample sizes, as well as an approximation approach for sample sizes that are not in the calibration table. Although P‐values are sometimes thought more intuitive, these tables assist in removing the opaqueness of Bayesian thresholds and may also be used in the selection of a BF threshold to meet a certain type I error rate. An application of our methods is used to identify variants associated with both obesity and osteoarthritis.
