Dialog w nieliberalno-konstytucyjnym uniwersum
Authors: Bień-Kacała Agnieszka 
Published: June 2024

W artykule przedstawiono tradycję dialogowego transformowania polskiego sytemu niedemokratycznego w demokratyczny, by przejść do poszczególnych kwestii łączących się z kryzysem demokracji, ochrony praw człowieka i rządów prawa.
Dialog i konsensus to piękne symbole polskich przemian demokratycznych zainicjowanych przy Okrągłym Stole. Niestety jednak szybko stały się niewygodne dla pewnej części polskich polityków i społeczeństwa. Negacja dialogowej formuły podejmowania decyzji w praktyce demokratycznej przekuta została w sukces wyborczy roku 2015, a następnie stała się podstawą rozwiazywania sporów w nieliberalnej Polsce. W tym kontekście wydaje się, że rozważając ewentualne sposoby zażegnania kryzysu i cofnięcia niekorzystnych zmian ustrojowych, powinniśmy uwzględnić także kwestię dialogu oraz jego znaczenia w demokratycznej praktyce.
Kryzys ustrojowy, którego elementem jest głęboka niezgoda co do oceny podejmowanych działań oraz ich systemowego charakteru, może być rozwiązany na różne sposoby. Mogą to być zmiany ustrojowe, zmiany ustawowe, wymiana elit politycznych czy też elit urzędniczych. U zbiegu wszystkich sposobów zażegnania kryzysu pozostaje jednak dialog i wola jego prowadzenia tak, aby wszystkie argumenty zostały należycie przedstawione, wysłuchane i rozważone. Uzyskane w taki sposób porozumienie może pretendować do akceptowanego powszechnie i trwałego rozwiązania sytuacji kryzysowej. Niestety od dość dawna już woli takiego działania w Polsce nie ma, a od roku 2015 niechęć do dialogu wydaje się być jednym z elementów nowego systemu.

Rok 399 p.n.e. – Sokratejska sprawiedliwość i prawna polis
Authors: Oniszczuk Jerzy 
Published: June 2024

Skazanie przez sąd ateński w 399 r. p.n.e. Sokratesa (ur. ok. 469 r.) uruchomiło filozoficzny namysł Platona. Uznał, że ów wyrok był wielką niesprawiedliwością publicznej władzy. U jego źródeł, jak mówił sam Sokrates, była ludzka nierozumność. Ale też Platon u podstaw owej tragedii widział ówczesne warunki prowadzenia polityki, zdominowane przez homerycki paradygmat siły i sukcesu oraz resentyment demokratycznych populistów. Sokratejska arete – w postaci dobra etycznego – przeciwstawiła się homeryckiej i sofistycznej arete, rozumianej jako techne. Postępowanie wedle tradycyjnych wzorów utrudniało etyczne życie refleksyjnych obywateli. Sokrates zaś podkreślał, że na jego długie życie wpłynęło unikanie polityki. To jednak nie uchroniło go przed nienawiścią i sprawą karną.
Ważną kwestią jest możliwość pojawienia się „sprawy Sokratesa” w XXI w. Po wyroku z 399 r. p.n.e. upubliczniło się nowe spojrzenie na sprawiedliwość, filozof zaproponował bowiem dobro jako novum etyczne określające sprawiedliwość. Dwadzieścia pięć wieków temu pojawiła się więc myśl inicjująca wizję człowieczeństwa jednostki. Z epoką oświecenia uwyraźniła się wizja prawa praw człowieka w kontekście fundamentalnego sokratejskiego humanistycznego paradygmatu. Współczesne zaniepokojenie ludzi, wynikające z niejasności różnych orzeczeń sprawiedliwości, wywołuje potrzebę uzyskania pewniejszego punktu oceny. Próbował udzielić w tym zakresie odpowiedzi już Platon, ukazując Sokratesa jako przykład sprawiedliwego człowieka. Skazanie go było dla Platona ważnym powodem do badań nad niedostatkami moralności w demokratycznej polis, nad wadami władzy i słabością ustawy. A zwłaszcza nad warunkami sprawiedliwego wyroku i sądu, prawodawcy i polis.
Pewnemu zilustrowaniu novum Sokratejskiego podejścia do sprawiedliwości może posłużyć przypomnienie pojmowania sprawiedliwości w ujęciu wcześniejszej koncepcji archaicznej – physis, a także sofistów. Tych, które kwestionował filozof. Owemu celowi służy też ukazanie sytuacji ówczesnej demokracji. To dzięki jej filozoficznej krytyce, płynącej z wizji szczęśliwego życia, wykształcała się nowa koncepcja sprawiedliwości i prawnej polis.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Landslide is one of the common natural disasters. Supporting structure plays an important role in landslide control. Slope stabilization with the application of anchor lattice beams has drawn considerable attention. However, existing structural design approaches tend to be conservative and, solutions for optimal anchor grid design are demanding. In this study, an object-oriented computer program was developed by using Python to optimize anchor lattice beam parameters in slope construction. The program utilized an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, which serves as an efficient way to figure out for the optimal parameter combination to enhance embankment construction design quality and safety. The PSO-based optimization demonstrated significant improvements in slope stability and safety, resulting in up to 30.5% average enhancement compared to non-optimized designs. Sensitivity analyses on distance of anchor, prestress, and angle of anchor revealed the influence of each parameter on leading a way to appropriate anchorage conditions for anchor lattice beam support structures.

Authors: JIANG Kaijia , Song Aiping , CHEN Zhongquan , ZHOU Qiangqiang , JIANG Shuheng 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

In order to achieve gear longitudinal modification and improve gear grinding efficiency, a novel gear grinding methodology is proposed, and the method of accurate control of longitudinal modification values is given. The core principle is that the grinding disc is installed obliquely to generated grinding teeth, and cubic boron nitride (CBN) is sintered on the grinding disc. Firstly, the principle of a novel gear grinding methodology is expounded. Secondly, based on this methodology, the control and adjustment model of longitudinal modification values is established, and it is concluded that the longitudinal modification values can be accurately controlled by the installation angle of the grinding disc. Finally, the effectiveness of this grinding methodology in achieving the whole teeth width grinding of gears and longitudinal modification, as well as improving gear grinding efficiency, is confirmed through VERICUT machining simulation; then, the analysis of tooth contact in the grinding gear pair revealed that longitudinal modification can effectively reduce the edge contacts, which can make the tooth surface load evenly distributed in tooth width direction.
Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility: the key to understand the ascending and emplacement mechanisms of granitic plutons
Authors: Gonçalves Ana , Sant'Ovaia Helena , Noronha Fernando 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

The present study includes a multidisciplinary approach applied to seven ilmenite-type granite intrusions outcropping in Northern and Central Portugal, inside the so-called Galícia-Trás-os-Montes (GTMZ) and Central Iberian (CIZ) geotectonic zones. The studied intrusions intrude metasedimentary rocks (namely, Freixo de Numão granite (FNG)), other granites (e.g., Caria-Vila da Ponte pluton (CVPP) and Esmolfe-Matança pluton (EMP)), or the contact of metasedimentary-granites rocks (such as, Capinha granite (CaG) and Valpaços granite (ValG)). The main goals are to understand the ascent, emplacement mechanisms and deformation patterns evolution during the late stages of Variscan orogeny. Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS), microstructural and bulk magnetic susceptibility (Km) studies were performed. The correlation between AMS and microstructures pointed out that most granites (FNG, CVPP, EMP and CaG) exhibit magnetic fabric that mimics the magmatic fabric inherited during a passive ascent and emplacement. On the other hand, ValG magnetic fabric resulted from the combination of magmatic and tectonic fabrics, being the last one less expressive. AMS data allowed to infer the trajectories drawn by the magnetic foliations providing important clues about the granite intrusions shape. Therefore, distinct 3D shapes were suggested: bell-shape intrusion for CVPP; tongue-shape intrusion for CaG; asymmetric laccolith for EMG and FNG; and, inverted flat drop-shape intrusion for ValG. The fieldwork relationships between the granite intrusions, host rocks and local/regional structures together with AMS results allowed to verify that the ascent and emplacement of studied intrusions were structural controlled using structures like shear zones (ValG, EMG and FNG) and deep strike-slip faults (CaG and CVPP).

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Abstract
Objectives: To compare short-term fluoride release of three ion releasing restorative materials and assess their inhibitory effect on secondary caries.
Materials and Methods: Self-adhesive hybrid composite (group A), ion releasing flowable composite liner (group B), and alkasite restorative material (group C), were examined. Twenty-two discs were fabricated from each material for fluoride release test, conducted on days 1, 7, and 14. For assessing secondary caries inhibition, sixty-six sound molar teeth were used and standardized class V cavities were prepared. Teeth were divided into three groups according to each material, followed by 2000 cycles of thermocycling. Subsequently, teeth were immersed in a solution containing cariogenic bacteria for 30 days. After that, teeth were sectioned bucco-lingually and analyzed using a polarized light microscope to measure inhibition area, outer lesion depth, and extension. Data was statistically analyzed using different tests.
Results: Statistically significant differences in fluoride release existed among materials. Self-adhesive hybrid composite exhibited the highest fluoride release, followed by alkasite restorative material and ion releasing flowable composite liner. Lesion extension and depth were statistically significantly greater next to ion releasing flowable composite liner, while next to alkasite restorative material, they exceeded those next to Self-adhesive hybrid composite. The inhibition areas next to self-adhesive hybrid composite were statistically significantly larger than alkasite restorative material and ion releasing flowable composite liner. There was statistically significant positive correlation between fluoride release and lesion depth and extension at day 1, 7 and 14. Also, there was statistically significant negative correlation between fluoride release and inhibition area at day 1, 7 and 14.
Conclusion: All three ion releasing restorative materials displayed fluoride release and potential to inhibit secondary caries formation. Self-adhesive hybrid composite demonstrated the highest fluoride-releasing potential and the greatest ability to inhibit secondary caries. Conversely, ion releasing flowable composite liner exhibited the least fluoride release with minimal secondary caries inhibition. Increasing fluoride release correlated with larger inhibition areas and reduced outer lesion depth and extension.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background
Postoperative incision infections are a significant concern in colorectal cancer surgery, impacting patient recovery and well-being. Identification of key risk factors for infection following colorectal cancer surgery is crucial for improving patient outcomes.
Methods
A meta-analytical approach was employed to analyze studies published from January 2015 to December 2022, focusing on variables such as body mass index, diabetes, albumin levels, malnutrition, and surgical duration to assess their association with postoperative infection incidence in colorectal cancer patients.
Results
Analysis of eleven high-quality studies revealed that elevated body mass index, diabetes, low albumin levels, malnutrition, and longer surgical durations were linked to an increased risk of postoperative incision infections. Conversely, laparoscopic procedures demonstrated potential for reducing infection risks.
Conclusions
Effective preoperative risk assessment and management are vital in preventing postoperative incision infections in colorectal cancer patients. These findings offer actionable insights for clinicians to optimize patient prognoses and enhance overall quality of life outcomes.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

The removal of bisphenol A (BPA) as an estrogenic endocrine disrupting contaminant has recently been a topic of interest and debate among environmental scientists. In the present work, photodegradation of BPA in an aqueous solution was studied using Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 nanocomposite under ultraviolet A (UVA) and solar light sources. The as-synthesized materials were characterized by UV-Visible diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), zeta potential measurement techniques. Based on XRD and VSM, the Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 nanocomposite structure contained an anatase TiO2 phase and showed a superparamagnetic behavior (12.07 emu/g). Based on the DRS spectra and bandgap computation, the direct bandgap energy of Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 was 3.01 eV. The Photocatalytic degradation of BPA was performed by the response surface methodology to study the influence of operational factors on the degradation process. Maximum removal of 55% BPA was obtained at a pH of 8, a photocatalyst dosage of 1.0 g/l, and a BPA concentration of 100 mg/l after 220 min UVA irradiation time. It is anticipated that the as-synthesized photocatalyst is expected to be used in both ultraviolet and solar light. The findings showed that Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 was recycled five times to attain 50% degradation of BPA and the photocatalytic activity did not decrease noticeably after five photocatalytic cycles. Furthermore, the ability to use solar energy, as well as the ease with which it may be implemented, makes photocatalysis an appealing possibility for the treatment of phenolic wastewater.

Abstract

Thrips is one of the important sucking pests infesting vegetable crops causing huge economic damage directly by sucking plant sap and indirectly by transmitting orthotospoviruses in the world as well as in India. Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh of India are very important vegetable producing states but lacking sound knowledge on incidence and distribution pattern, virus transmission efficiencies of the economically important thrips species occurring on vegetables. Therefore, intensive sampling of thrips species was done on three important vegetable crops in these two states and were subjected to morphological and molecular diagnostic techniques. Results revealed that nine distinct species of thrips belonging to six genera were known to occur in these states. Interestingly, we report three cryptic species of thrips,Haplothrips ganglbaueriSchmutz andThrips parvispinus(Karny) in Chhattisgarh, andHaplothrips gowdeyi(Franklin) in Madhya Pradesh for the first time. The other six species recorded wereThrips palmiKarny,Frankliniella schuttzeiTrybom,Thrips florumSchmutz,Bathrips melanocornis, Thrips hawaiiensis(Morgan),and Scirtothrips dorsalisHood. Most dominant species wasS. dorsalis, followed byT. palmi.T. parvispinuswas recorded for the first time on brinjal host in Chhattisgarh state. The current study reports distribution of nine distinct thrips species including three cryptic species and an invasive species,T. parvispinusin central India.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background
Thymic cysts, encompassing 1–3% of mediastinal masses, pose diagnostic challenges. This case series delves deeper into the even rarer intra-thymic bronchogenic cysts, requiring post-surgical histopathological examination for definitive diagnosis.
Case Presentation
We present four patients (37–45 years) with intra-thymic bronchogenic cysts showcasing diverse presentations: a 41-year-old female with an incidentally discovered large anterior mediastinal mass; a 37-year-old male with a mass adherent to the superior vena cava found during a routine checkup; a 45-year-old male experiencing recurrent chest pain with a cyst extending into the left paratracheal space; and a 39-year-old female with persistent cough, hemoptysis, and a lesion near the brachiocephalic vein.
Conclusions
This case series highlights the variable presentations and underscores the importance of considering intra-thymic bronchogenic cysts in diagnosing anterior mediastinal masses. Surgical intervention remains crucial for definitive diagnosis and successful management.

Abstract

Background:
Epidural anesthesia is widely used due to its analgesic effect. However, the catheter insertion technique requires a high degree of skill. Recently, mixed reality (MR) technology has gained attention for its applications in medicine, where it is anticipated to improve outcomes and assist in training anesthesiologists. Using this technology, we developed a new approach for three-dimensional (3D) visualization of a patient’s spine.
Case Presentation:
A patient, who had previously been deemed difficult to place an epidural catheter, was successfully administered epidural anesthesia by an anesthesiologist, before acquiring a specialty, after 3D visualization of the patient’s spine using MR technology. Three minutes and eight seconds were required to use the MR technology, and 10 minutes and 54 seconds were required for the placement of the catheter.
Conclusions:
This case report suggests that MR technology using a 3D model of the patient's spine could enhance the success rate and safety of epidural anesthesia technique. To our knowledge, no other study has used MR technology to project a patient’s spine for epidural anesthesia, and we believe that our study is the first to do so. Its potential role in anesthesiologist training and its clinical applications warrant further investigation.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background FOP is a psychological experience of excessive fear that threatens the mental and physical health of patients, resulting in poor treatment outcomes and decreased quality of life. This study aimed at investigating the associations among anxiety, coping modes, and FOP in patients with cervical precancerous lesions.
Methods This is a cross-sectional study that includes 167 patients with cervical precancerous lesions. Patients filled out the FOP Questionnaire, the Self‑Rating Anxiety Scale, and the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire. The parallel mediation analysis was used to evaluate the mediating role of different coping styles in the relationship between anxiety and FOP.
Results The scores of FOP in patients with precancerous cervical lesions was 27.84±10.51.. The potential predictors of FOP among patients were anxiety (β=0.175, P=0.015), confrontation (β=-0.188, P =0.009), avoidance (β=0.229, P =0.002), resignation (β=0.181, P <0.001), family history of cervical cancer (β=0.221, P =0.001). Parallel mediation results show that confrontationand resignation played the mediating role in the relationship between anxiety and FOP.
Conclusion As expected, Anxiety, confrontation, avoidance, resignation, and family history of cervical cancer are potential predictors of FOP in patients. The results of parallel mediation showed that confrontation and resignation played a mediating role in the relationship between anxiety and FOP.. The results suggest that medical staff need to give them professional medical knowledge and guide them to adopt appropriate and positive coping styles.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

MXenes are a kind of novel and interesting new materials, and carbon dots (CDs) are also concerned because of their processability, versatility, environmental protection and low cost. Both MXenes and CDs are chemically stable and have a large surface area and high electrical conductivity, which are promising alternative electrode materials for supercapacitors. Moreover, MnO2 can also improve the energy density of the electrode materials. In this paper, Ti3C2Tx/CDs and Ti3C2Tx/CDs@MnO2 composites were prepared by a hydrothermal method and their supercapacitor performance were also investigated by a series of electrochemical methods. From the CV profile in a three-electrode system, Ti3C2Tx/CDs@MnO2 electrode exhibited a high specific capacitance of 281.3 F g− 1 at a scan rate of 5 mV s− 1, which was higher than that of Ti3C2Tx/CDs (160.3 F g− 1). The Ti3C2Tx/CDs showed a good cycling stability with a capacitance retention of 82.38% after 10,000 cycles. Meanwhile, a symmetric supercapacitor was successfully assembled using Ti3C2Tx/CDs@MnO2 as electrodes, with an energy density of 5.77 Wh kg− 1 at a corresponding power density of 120 W kg− 1. This work offers a theoretical foundation and a technological path for synthesizing highly effective ternary composite of MXene-based as energy storage materials.
