Horkheimer, o Absoluto e a ambiguidade conceitual da teologia negativa
Authors: Ferraz Bueno Sinésio 
Published: July 2024

Resumo: A obra Eclipse da razão, de Horkheimer, é tensionada por uma ambiguidade conceitual. No texto Meios e Fins, o conceito de razão objetiva tem uma fundamentação metafísica, que é contestada pela análise materialista exposta no texto Sobre o conceito de filosofia. Essa ambiguidade conceitual repercute nas reflexões teológicas tardias de Horkheimer, em que o conceito originalmente metafísico do Absoluto é recepcionado em termos materialistas. Nesse sentido, a teologia negativa postulada por Horkheimer reflete problemas relativos à fundamentação conceitual do materialismo dialético no campo filosófico. O objetivo deste artigo consiste em expor essa ambivalência, e também apontar os problemas conceituais envolvidos na fundamentação filosófica do materialismo dialético.

Horkheimer, the Absolute and the conceptual ambiguity of negative theology
Abstract: Horkheimer's work Eclipse of Reason is tensioned by a conceptual ambiguity. In the text Means and Ends, the concept of objective reason has a metaphysical foundation, which is contested by the materialist analysis exposed in the text On the concept of philosophy. This conceptual ambiguity reverberates in Horkheimer's later theological reflections, in which the originally metaphysical concept of the Absolute is received in materialist terms. In this sense, the negative theology postulated by Horkheimer reflects problems related to the conceptual foundation of dialectical materialism in the philosophical field. The purpose of this article is to expose this ambivalence, and also to point out the conceptual problems involved in the philosophical foundation of dialectical materialism.

Authors: Barokah Umi , Rahayu Wiwit , Antriyandarti Ernoiz 
Published: July 2024

Urban areas are densely populated areas, so that land for agricultural production is minimal. The city of Surakarta is the center of the economy in the Soloraya region, whose agricultural land area continues to decrease. The study aimed to analyze household food security and the role of urban farming on household food security. The data used in the research was primary data collected by interview, recording, observation, and food recall methods. Respondent to the research consists of 60 households that carried out urban farming in 5 districts (Pasar Kliwon, Jebres, Banjarsari, Laweyan, Serengan) in Surakarta. The analytical data used food security analysis with indicators of food expenditure and energy consumption levels and descriptive analysis for urban farming to household food security. The results showed that as many as 21 or (35.00%) were categorized as food secure households, 12 or (20.00%) were classified as food vulnerable households, 22 or (36.67%) were categorized as lack of food households, and 5 (8, 33%) was categorized as food insecure. The role of urban farming on household food security is indicated by its contribution to food expenditure of Rp 87,336.00 or 7.69% to total food expenditure per month. It is necessary to increase the role of urban farming in household food security both in increasing income and providing food for households. This can be done, among other things, by intensifying and diversifying urban farming businesses.
IMPACT OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY FISH FEED PROGRAM ON THE FISH FARMING BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Authors: Rachmawati Sari , Kusnadi Nunung , Tinaprilla Netti 
Published: July 2024

High feed prices and a high proportion of feed costs cause the profitability of fish farming businesses to decline. One of the government's efforts to reduce feed costs is encouraging fish farmers to produce their feed using local raw materials through Self-Sufficiency Fish Feed Program. This study aims to analyze program’s impact on the fish farming performance using the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method. Performance is measured by cost, revenue, profit, R/C ratio, Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), and technical efficiency which estimated using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The results show that program implementation at the fish farmer's level has not positively impacted the fish farming business's performance. The results of the PSM analysis show that the program significantly impacts on costs, revenue, profit, R/C ratio, FCR, and technical efficiency. Farmers with programs have a higher average cost and FCR than farmers without programs. The fish farmers with program have a lower revenue, profit, R/C ratio and technical efficiency than fish farmers without program. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the main cause the program has not had a positive impact on the fish farming businesses performance is the quality of self-sufficiency fish feed. Therefore, the recommended policy is to create a system for supplying local raw materials with good quality, increasing feed formulation training and need specialize by forming group of self-sufficiency fish feed producers separated from the fish farming group.
The Etruscan Kiss and Embrace: A Mirror at the British Museum and a Lifetime in a Gesture
Authors: Guerini Giulietta 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The British Museum currently houses an Etruscan mirror portraying a depiction of two women engaged in an embrace and sharing a kiss. Despite previous endeavors to elucidate the symbolic gesture, the profound implications behind the embrace remain shrouded in ambiguity. This article argues that the mirror, while adorned with a veneer of mythology, conceals a narrative that holds pivotal significance in a woman’s life, specifically, the moment of a bride bidding farewell to her mother. Under this interpretive framework, the gesture takes on the role of a salutation, a conjecture fortified by parallels drawn from analogous scenes in different artistic mediums.
Impacts of cold exposure on energy metabolism
Authors: Yan Miao , Wang Shanjie , Fang Shaohong , E. Mingyan , Yu Bo 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Cold stimulation has been shown to regulate glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, while also increasing heat production and energy expenditure in the body. Disordered energy metabolism is a key factor in the onset and progression of chronic metabolic conditiones such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Recent research has unveiled the myriad pathways through which cold stimulation affects human energy metabolism. This article provides an overview of how cold stimulation affects energy metabolism across the three major metabolic pathways. Furthermore, it explores the implications and potential therapeutic applications of cold stimulation in the prevention and treatment of various metabolic diseases.
Cryoablation techniques in bladder cancer: A review
Authors: Ma Binglei , Teixeira Wilhem , Jiang Lijuan 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BC) ranks as the tenth most common cancer globally. Histopathologically, BC is broadly categorized into urothelial and non-urothelial BC. Urothelial carcinoma represents over 90% of BC in most regions worldwide. The standard treatment procedure for diagnosing and treating non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT). Currently, the standard of care for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy. Cryoablation therapy is a medical technique that uses extremely low temperatures to destroy diseased tissue. This treatment serves as a therapeutic tool for both benign and malignant diseases in organs such as the kidney, prostate gland, lung, liver, and breast, and is particularly effective for unresectable tumors, offering less trauma, quick recovery, good tolerability, and symptom control. However, cryoablation has its limitations. Over the past few years, cryoablation therapy has emerged as a new method for treating early BC. This treatment is minimally invasive, precise, and offers quick recovery, providing patients with a new treatment option. Although randomized studies are still limited, increasing evidence suggests its potential application in bladder cancer combined with transurethral resection (TURBT) or medication. Cryoablation is not standard therapy for bladder cancer. Treatment decisions should be discussed by a multidisciplinary team of urologists, oncologists, and interventional physicians and require more randomized controlled trials to define patient selection criteria and treatment approaches.
Cold environments and human metabolism: A traditional chinese medicine perspective
Authors: Zhao Tengyu , Ma Yifu , Zhang Jian , Zhou Xiaojie , Zhou Yanyan , Yan Jingdong 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The concept of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) emphasizes the intrinsic connection between human beings and nature, positing that the human body undergoes distinct physiological changes in response to various natural environments. Cold, as a primary external factor in cold areas, necessitates the body’s autonomous adaptation to uphold optimal living conditions. The repercussions of cold on the body are both far-reaching and profound, with metabolic equilibrium adjustments playing a pivotal role. This article, rooted in the TCM principle of Yin-Yang balance, delves into the metabolic intricacies and adaptive responses to the human body in cold environments. The effects manifest in heat-producing tissues, systemic substance consumption, the blood substance concentrations, liver function, and metabolic rhythms. The article subsequently presents TCM recommendations for maintaining health in cold climates. It concludes by advocating the exploration of metabolic homeostasis changes as a key avenue for investigating the metabolic traits s of populations in cold regions. We posit that such insights will enhance comprehension of the metabolic shifts in cold region populations and advance the evolution of regional medicine.

Authors: Hao Siyu , Zhang Yu , Yin Anqi , Lyu Ying , Tong Nannan , Tian Jiangtian , Li Yuzhen 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background
Psoriasis is a disease caused by genetics and immune system dysfunction, affecting the skin and joints. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in triggering the innate immune response and controlling adaptive immunity. The role of TLR2 in the progression of psoriasis is not well understood.

Methods
A case-control study was conducted on a northern Chinese Han population, consisting of psoriasis patients and healthy control subjects. Genotyping was performed using the tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR), and allele and genotype frequencies of four SNPs in TLR2 were analyzed in 270 psoriasis patients and 246 healthy controls.

Results
Four TLR2 SNPs (rs11938228, rs4696480, rs3804099, rs5743699) were genotyped and found to be in linkage disequilibrium. The genotype distributions of rs11938228 and rs4696480 in two groups were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and statistically significant except for the overdominance model. The haplotypes ATTC and ATCC were found to be protective against psoriasis.

Conclusion
Our study found a correlation between TLR2 genetic variations and the likelihood of psoriasis in northern China.
Vitamin D deficiency and increased inflammatory factor intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 indicate severe leukoaraiosis in northern China
Authors: Guan Jiaxin , Gan Lu , Yan Chaoqi , Hou Boyu , Fan Ying 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background and objective
Commonly plaguing in the frigid zone of the world, vitamin D deficiency, as indicated by low levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, exacerbated inflammatory responses and impaired endothelial function. Leukoaraiosis (LA) is a prevalent cause of cognitive dysfunction in the elderly and is potentially associated with inflammatory responses. This study aimed to investigate the impact of vitamin D on the severity of LA.

Methods
Patients with LA were categorized based on 3.0 T brain MRI findings into mild (N = 43), moderate (N = 40), or severe groups (N = 29) using the Fazekas scale (scoring 1-6). A control group consisting of 41 healthy individuals was included. Serum fibrinogen C, homocysteine, plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) levels were measured using ELISA.

Results
All LA severity groups exhibited lower plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels compared to the control group, with a more pronounced decrease observed as LA severity increased. Low plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D was identified as an independent risk factor for LA (P < 0.05) according to Multiple logistic regression analysis. Additionally, a negative association was observed between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and vascular inflammatory factor ICAM-1.

Conclusions
Disease severity positively correlated with levels of the inflammatory marker ICAM-1, worsening as plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration decreased. Low 25-hydroxyvitamin D emerged as an independent risk factor for LA, potentially exacerbating the inflammatory response. These findings suggest 25-hydroxyvitamin D supplementation as a potential therapeutic approach for LA.
PLA2G2D and CHIT1: Potential biomarkers for immune infiltration and prognosis in cervical squamous cell carcinoma
Authors: Jiang Liangliang , Qiao Qiushuang , Wang Jing 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Objective
The aim of this study was to identify biomarkers associated with immunity and prognosis in patients with cervical cancer.

Materials and methods
Data from patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) were retrieved from the UCSC Xena database and subjected to analysis. Gene sets representing 22 types of immunocytes were acquired, and immunocytes relevant to prognosis were identified. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was utilized to identify gene modules associated with prognosis-related immunocytes and to construct immune-related gene markers. Differentially expressed genes were then screened, and the association between immune score and biological function of immune-related gene markers was analyzed. Furthermore, tissue samples from cervical cancer patients in Northeast China were collected to validate the expression of two genes using real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry.

Results
This study identified 10 immunocytes significantly correlated with overall survival time in patients. Six gene modules were identified as significantly associated with prognosis-related immunocytes, with gene module 6 showing relevance to all prognosis-related immunocytes. Gene module 6 was related to all prognosis-related immunocytes. Moreover, two genes (including PLA2G2D and CHIT1) were found to be significantly associated with overall survival in cancer patients. Patients with CESC were classified into high and low immune score groups based on the median score of gene markers. Correlation analysis of the immune score and biological function was performed. Immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR results revealed high expression of CHIT1 and PLA2G2D in CESC tumor tissues.

Conclusion
PLA2G2D and CHIT1 show promise as biomarkers for evaluating immune infiltration and prognosis in patients with cervical cancer.
Characteristics of gut microbiota in anastomotic leakage patients in cold zones post-colorectal cancer surgery: A high-throughput sequencing and propensity-score matching study
Authors: Wang Yuliuming , Zhang Yukun , Cao Yu , Zhang Weiyuan , Liu Ming , Wang Guiyu 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Objective
The study aimed to explore the association between gut microbiota and anastomotic leakage (AL) after surgery in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients from a frigid zone, based on high-throughput sequencing.

Methods
A total of 98 CRC patients admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from July 2018 to February 2019, who met the inclusion criteria, were included. Among these, 10 patients were diagnosed as AL. After propensity-score matching of baseline characteristics, 10 patients from the anastomotic leakage group (AG) and 10 patients from the normal group (NG) were finally included in this study. Fecal samples were collected, and total DNA was extracted for high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatic analysis.

Results
Alpha diversity analysis showed no significant difference between the two groups, while beta diversity analysis revealed significant differences in principal components. Differential microbiota were classified as Proteobacteria at the phylum level (P = 0.021). At the genus level, the abundances of Streptococcus (P = 0.045), Citrobacter (P = 0.008) and Klebsiella (P = 0.002) were significantly different between the two groups. LEfSe analysis indicated that these genera contributed most to the differences between the groups.

Conclusion
The characteristics of the gut microbiota in the AG and NG were significantly different, and these differences might be associated with AL in CRC patients from frigid zones.
Metaphor and gender: are words associated with source domains perceived in a gendered way?
Authors: Ahrens Kathleen , Zeng Winnie Huiheng , Burgers Christian , Huang Chu-Ren 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Conceptual metaphors are one of many linguistic devices that can potentially encode and reinforce gender stereotypes. However, little is known about how metaphors encode gender stereotypes, and in previous literature the concept of “gendered metaphor” has been mostly assumed rather than attested. We take the first step to tackle this issue by examining the gender typicality of specific metaphorical source domains. In the present paper, we conducted three rating experiments (N

total
= 1,060 English-speaking participants) to determine the genderedness of 50 keywords associated with five frequently used source domains (building, competition, journey, plant, and war). We found that keywords associated with three source domains (building, competition, and war) were viewed as more masculine, while keywords associated with the source domains of journey and plant were viewed as more feminine. These data offer empirical verification for gendered perceptions of keywords associated with some frequently used source domains. The result also provides the first evidence that metaphors could encode gender stereotypes by selection of source domains.
Elucidating Divine Atemporality
Authors: Sijuwade Joshua R. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This article aims to provide a philosophical elucidation of the concept of divine atemporality (i.e. divine timelessness and immutability), found within the theological trajectory of Classical Theism, and a philosophical model – termed Aspectival Pluralism – that demonstrates its compatibility with the further notion of Divine Preservation. To achieve this end, an original interpretation of the concept is formulated within the Aspectival Account and the thesis of Theistic Ontological Pluralism, as extended by the temporal ontology of Priority Presentism, introduced by Sam Baron, and the Exdurantist view of persistence, introduced by Theodore Sider, which will ultimately enable the notion to be elucidated in a clear and consistent manner and help to answer an important conceptual question concerning it.
Compositional zoning and evolution of symplectite coronas in jadeitite
Authors: Yingying Xing , Lijian Qi 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Multistage fluid activities play an important role in the interaction between jadeitite and symplectite coronas; therefore, we studied the compositional zoning and evolution of representative Myanmar jadeitite. Under the influence of multistage Ca-, Na-, and Si-rich fluid activity, some minerals in Myanmar jadeitite formed symplectite coronas with concentric rings and multilayer metasomatic reaction rim structures. Additionally, the concentrations of Cr and Fe decrease from the core to the peripheral jadeite minerals, whereas the concentration of Si markedly increases. There is almost no Si or Ca in the chromite core, and the concentrations of Si and Ca increase sharply in rims composed of uvarovite. Due to Cr diffusion, the edge of the jadeite adjacent to kosmochlor is Cr-rich and Al-poor. The different element concentrations indicate that the uvarovite formed from the presence of a chromite and jadeite interaction, Si in the kosmochlor after metasomatism or an external Ca-rich fluid. One possible explanation for the formation of kosmochlor is the interaction between chromite and a Na- and Si-rich fluid. Also, Ca-rich fluid could have first interacted with chromite and formed uvarovite; subsequently, a Na-rich fluid could have entered and become saturated with kosmochlor, leading to the formation of kosmochlor surrounding the uvarovite.
Rheological characterization on novel viscoelastic tetrameric polyhydroxy cationic surfactant/sodium chloride micelle solutions
Authors: Zhang Siqi , Wang Dongqing , Fang Bo , Li Yudie , Shen Jiayi , Tian Zhenrui , He Jinlan 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
A novel viscoelastic surfactant (VES) micelle system was developed by using a new tetrameric polyhydroxy cationic surfactant (STPC) as a thickener in combination with sodium chloride (NaCl). The flow curves, thixotropy, viscoelasticity, viscosity-temperature relationship, temperature and shear resistance, and thermal thixotropy of the micelle system were further investigated. The results showed that the new four-parameter rheo kinetic model accurately described the viscosity versus shear time curve of the micelle system. The established four-parameter viscosity-temperature relationship model could be used to characterize the viscosity versus temperature curve of the micelle system. Meanwhile, the Carreau model could also be fitted to the flow curve of the STPC/NaCl micelle solution. The effects of counterion salt concentration and surfactant concentration on the rheological properties of the viscoelastic STPC/NaCl micelle solution were clarified and the optimum mass ratio of 5 wt%/5 wt% for the STPC/NaCl solution was determined. The viscoelastic modulus versus temperature curves of the STPC/NaCl (5 wt%/5 wt%) micelle solution showed that it exhibited thermal thixotropy. This study extends on the types of thickeners and VES micelle systems and provides a rheological reference for the application of viscoelastic tetrameric cationic surfactants in oil fields.
