Intuición, racionalidad y acción
Authors: Miranda Rafael 
Published: March 2024

Durante los últimos cinco años, un tema principal de discusión en el área epistemológica ha sido el rol de las intuiciones como una guía confiable para el conocimiento, o como una forma de justificación de alguna creencia. Se asume que si no existe tal función de las intuiciones (intuiciones racionales específicamente), entonces son gratuitas, irrelevantes y una guía poco confiable para el conocimiento o la creencia. El papel de las intuiciones en el área práctica no simplifica el problema: si un sujeto (S) toma una decisión fundado (incluso parcialmente) en algunas intuiciones, entonces es difícil negar la relevancia de ellas en esta arista práctica. Por lo tanto, surge el dilema: ¿cómo puede una intuición guiar la acción de un sujeto S, si S ni siquiera está justificado en tener esa intuición? Para responder a esta cuestión, propongo una defensa híbrida (a priori - a posteriori / teórica - práctica) de la intuición racional (IR), a través de dos roles (diferentes de los roles probatorios o justificatorios): un rol propedéutico (también llamado rol ejemplificador contrafactual) y un rol de guía de la acción en la toma de decisiones. Al mismo tiempo, se afirma que una IR tiene un rol de transmisor (diferente del rol justificatorio) que es relevante con respecto al vínculo inferencial entre premisa-conclusión. Se discute una conexión similar sobre el nexo concebible-posible. De esta manera, se propone un racionalismo moderado, que sostiene la falibilidad de IR, la relevancia de la evidencia a posteriori y la confiabilidad a priori.
Parménide adversaire d'Aristote : Sur une connexion entre la Physique et la Métaphysique
Authors: Durón García José Manuel 
Published: March 2024

Les traités Physique et Métaphysique d’Aristote exposent la thèse de Parménide selon deux approches différentes, voire contradictoires. Je soutiens que Parménide est, dans le premier, présenté en partisan de l’immutabilité, tandis que dans le second il est présenté comme tenant du relativisme. Cette différence répond dialectiquement aux fins de la discussion de chaque traité. Je soutiens que la thèse du monisme, à savoir ‘‘toutes les choses sont une’’, comprise, d’une part, d’un point de vue ontologique et, d’autre part, d’un point de vue épistémologique permet à Aristote de brosser des images assez distinctes de Parménide.
"The Force of the Event": Performative Failures and Queer Repetitions in Austin, Butler, and Derrida
Authors: Mercier Thomas Clément 
Published: March 2024

Much has been written on Derrida’s and Butler's discussions of Austin’s speech act theory, but one thing at least remains unclear: why does performativity hinge on the notion of “force,” and what “force” are we here talking about? For Austin, the force of the performative signals a performative enforcement, a validating repetition of prior conditions of legitimation: it testifies to the “felicity” or “success” of the performative event.According to Derrida, this articulation between force and success closes off the eventness of the event; it implies an ontological reduction and reconstruction, that is, an appropriation of the event in the form of performative power. However, the performative, if it is to truly produce an event, must exceed prior conditions of validation and transform, in its performance, the conditions of validity it was meant to repeat. Eventness must remain beyond and without power. In this perspective, the article explores the “force” which Derrida describes as “force of the event”: an excessive force in the face of which “performative force” must fail. At bottom undecidable, “the force of the event” suggests the fallibility of force and the force of fallibility. I compare this self-deconstructive notion of force with Butler’s subversive politics of the performative, which theorizes “performative force” as the force of a failure – but a successful failure – to comply with the norm: a non-normative repetition and a reappropriation that forces change, and of which “queer” is at once the example, the model, and the very name. While Derrida’s is an attempt to think the uncanny force of a strange, non-appropriable, non-ontologizable, and perhaps “queer” event or quasi-event, characterized by fallibility and undecidability, Butler’s theory of power and her notion of “performative force” reverse, but fundamentally maintain, Austin’s ontological oppositions between success and failure, legitimacy and illegitimacy, repetition and change.

Abstract
BackgroundTo explore the clinical effect of predeposit, salvage and hemodilution autotransfusion on patients with femoral shaft fractdure (FSF) surgery.MethodsSelected FSF patients were randomly divided into 3 groups: intraoperative blood salvage autotransfusion group, preoperative hemodilution autohemotransfusion group and predeposit autotransfusion. After the operation for 5 days, body temperature, heart rate, blood platelet (PLT) and hemoglobin (Hb) of patients were determined; the concentrations of EPO and G-MSF in the 3 groups were calculated by ELISA assay; the content of CD14 + monocytes were calculated by FCM assay. The growth time and condition of the patient’s callus were determined at the 30th, 45th and 60th days after operation. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between EP0, G-MSF, CD14 + mononuclear content, callus growth and autotransfusion methods.ResultsThere were no statistically significant differences in body temperature and heart rate between the 3 groups (P > 0.05). PLT and Hb in Predeposit group were markedly increased compared to that in Salvage group and Hemodilution group. The concentrations of EPO and G-MSF in Predeposit group were markedly increased compared to that in Salvage group and Hemodilution group. The content of CD14 + monocytes in Predeposit group was significantly higher compared to that in Salvage group and Hemodilution group. Predeposit autotransfusion promotes callus growth more quickly. The concentration of EP0 and G-MSF were positively correlated with callus growth in the three groups, and the content of CD14 + monocytes was not correlated in any of the three groups.ConclusionPredeposit autotransfusion promoted the recovery of FSF patients after operation more quickly compared to salvage autotransfusion and hemodilution autotransfusion.# These authors contributed equally to this work.
Z-scheme Ag3PO4/g-C3N4 photocatalyst: Characterization, active species, reaction pathways and mechanisms for enhanced acetaminophen removal

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Visible-light-induced photocatalytic removal of trace organic contaminants is among the most important technologies of water-quality safety control. However, the activity of the photocatalyst reaction is difficult to regulate and the mechanism of the system has not been clarified. In this study, a nanometer-sized Z-scheme Ag3PO4/g-C3N4 (AP/CN) photocatalyst with a mesoporous structure was prepared through in-situ chemical precipitation. The 50%AP/CN (w/w = 1:1) composite material exhibited a high visible-light absorption threshold( λ ≤ 558 nm), a narrow band gap (Eg = 2.54 eV) and a strong transient photocurrent response. The photocatalytic performance of 50%AP/CN was systematically investigated under different influencing factors. In the optimised system, the photocatalytic removal rate of trace acetaminophen (ACT) exceeded 80% within 30 minutes. The active species were dynamically traced through inhibition experiments, electron spin resonance analysis and probe experiments. The superoxide anion (·O2−) was identified as a bridge in the conversion between dioxygen (O2) and singlet oxygen (1O2), improving the separation of photoelectrons (e−) and vacancies (h+). Although the hydroperoxides, oxidative polymerisation and humification of ACT induced by 1O2 comply with the ‘double carbon’ strategy, they compete with h+-driven mineralisation of organics. These new insights into the silver phosphate-based photocatalytic system can promote the reshaping of low-carbon technology.

Abstract

Presently, over 150 therapeutic approaches have been documented for addressing painful gliomas, yet their efficacy remains uncertain due to the lack of a precise understanding of the mechanisms governing glioblastoma herpes zoster virus infection (Hsp) pain.herpes zoster virus infection, commonly known as shingles, is often associated with severe pain. This pain can be quite debilitating and is one of the hallmark symptoms of shingles In this study, we illuminate the dependence of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) on regulatory T cells (Tregs) and delineate how BDNF's interaction with the TRKB signaling pathway contributes to fostering M2 macrophage polarization. Furthermore, we endeavor to elucidate the immune system's role in pain modulation by Hsp infection that regulatory T cells exert an influence on the BDNF/TrkB signaling axis, thereby altering macrophage polarization. We seeks to unravel the intricate connection between solid cellular immunity and Hsp infection glioblastoma, delving into its underlying pathogenesis. By achieving this, our project provided a framework, introducing the concept of employing Treg/BDNF/TrkB/macrophage/DRG interactions as a treatment strategy for Hsp infection glioma-induced pain. The recognition of T cells' involvement in glioma formation and the elucidation of neuropathic pain's pathophysiology through the modulation of macrophage types pave the way for innovative therapeutic interventions. This endeavor promises novel pharmacological targets, therapeutic strategies, and drug development schemes, poised to revolutionize the clinical management of painful gliomas with Hsp infection.

Abstract

Assessment of microplastic pollution is a societal concern with negative impacts on fauna and flora. An omnipresence of these pollutants in aquatic, atmospheric, and terrestrial ecosystems was indicated. In a marine environment, the microplastic accumulation and effects were identified in many organisms (annelids, bivalves, crustaceans, fishes, mammals…). Unfortunately, many microplastic (MP) toxicity experiments used commercial particles (mainly polyethylene or polystyrene), which do not illustrate the diversity of environmental MP. We evaluated the effects of environmental MP on Porcellana platycheles, which is a European singular crustacean (Anomura) being a filter-feeder organism. We carried out direct exposures for 5 and 10 days at two environmental concentrations [10°µg/L (low) and 100°µg/L (high)]. The biomarkers analysed were the antioxidative response level, acetylcholinesterase activity, lipid peroxidation, and energy reserves. Our study revealed a high acetylcholinesterase inhibition reflecting neurotoxicity, and modulation of antioxidative responses illustrated successively by an increase of enzymatic activities at 10°µg/L after 5 days, and a decrease after 10 days of exposures. Inhibition of antioxidative activities at 100°µg/L was also noted. We hypothesised that this “inverse U-shaped” enzymatic activity could be due to 1/ the presence of endocrine disruptors associated with MPs, such as Dibutyl phthalate found in high concentration (126°µg/g) in our MP samples and/or 2/ collapse of the endogenous antioxidative enzymes. In parallel, a depression of glycogen was demonstrated during the experiments indicating an energy investment in maintaining homeostasis. Thus, Porcellana platycheles possesses all the criteria to be considered as a potential sentinel species to detect the microplastic effects.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background
This research aimed to examine the mediating role of executive functions in the relationship between food addiction and emotion regulation as well as self-compassion.
Methods
In this study, in the form of a structural equation modeling, 251 subjects (219 women and 32 men) were chosen via convenience sampling and responded to the following questionnaires: difficulties in emotion regulation scale (DERS-16), Rice self-compassion, food addiction 2, and behavior rating inventory of executive function for adults (BRIEF-A).
Results
The findings indicated that there is a positive and significant relationship between deficits in emotion regulation and food addiction. Also, executive functions mediated the relationship between emotion regulation, self-compassion, and food addiction. Nevertheless, no relationship was found between self-compassion and food addiction.
Conclusions
Thus, it can be concluded that consolidating the emotion regulation skills and executive functions may contribute to prevention from or improvement of food addiction, thereby preventing the ensuing negative consequences such as obesity and cardiovascular disease.
Multi-depot Routing Problem with Van-based Driverless Vehicles
Authors: Xiaolong Diao , Xiayu Zhu 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

In order to strengthen the coordination between different delivery participants and between different means of transport, this work proposes one extension of multi-depot routing problems where vans and driverless vehicles are used in combination during the delivery. The operation process mainly includes two parts. One is that, vans carry several driverless vehicles and goods, and drop off or pick up driverless vehicles at stops. Another is that, driverless vehicles departing directly from depots or dropped off by vans deliver goods for customers. During the delivery process, vans and driverless vehicles are in close cooperation through the proposed multi-depot joint distribution and the proposed van-van joint distribution. By the two modes, vans can depart from one depot and return to another depot, driverless vehicles can be dropped off by one van at one stop and be picked up by another van at another stop. This multi-depot routing problem with van-based driverless vehicles is formulated as a mixed integer programming model which can be solved by the designed heuristic algorithm. The sensitivity analyses about the capacity of vans for driverless vehicle and the maximum traveling time of driverless vehicles are also performed. The results reveal that they have limited effects on the delivery cost and the application of the two modes. Moreover, the experimental results demonstrate that the application of two modes is affected by the distribution of depots and stops.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background and Aims:
Tea plantations are frequently given substantial quantities of nitrogen fertilizers. However, there is the potential for considerable nitrogen loss to occur. This study assesses the nitrogen retention of acidic tea plantation’s soil and the role of biochar in improving nitrogen dynamics, highlighting the need for innovative technologies to streamline and enhance nitrogen supply management.
Methods:
Adopting a modified two-week aerobic incubation and ion-exchange membrane technology, this research offers a novel approach to evaluate soil nitrogen supply and to monitor the nitrogen dynamics of tea plantation soil following early-summer supplementary fertilization.
Results:
The study revealed that the surface soil of tea plantation had the ability to provide 48 mg N·kg-1 soil as inorganic nitrogen for 130 days. The utilization of a small amount of biochar (10 t·ha-1) had no impact on the soil's effective nitrogen availability. Nonetheless, the application of biochar at rates of 20 and 30 t·ha-1 resulted in a significant enhancement in soil effective nitrogen availability as measured using ion exchange membranes, with an increase of 65%–81%. Furthermore, the utilization of biochar-based organic fertilizers, when used at appropriate rates, has the potential to enhance the availability of nitrogen in the soil, thereby increasing its effectiveness.
Conclusion:
The study's findings underscore the efficacy of the employed methodologies in capturing the nuanced impact of biochar on nitrogen retention and availability in tea plantation soils. The use of aerobic incubation and ion-exchange membrane technology has proven effective in elucidating the potential of biochar to significantly improve nitrogen dynamics.
Structural Alterations in Scales of Capoeta capoeta from Heavy Metal-Contaminated River Water
Authors: Kılıç Yağmur , Şişman Turgay 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Heavy metal pollution, especially in freshwater, is a serious problem for aquatic organisms and human health. In this study, the scales of Capoeta capoeta living in the Karasu River (Turkey), which is estimated to be contaminated with pollutants, especially heavy metals, were examined for structural anomalies. Two stations on the river were selected for this purpose. Fish and surface water samples were taken at the stations. The heavy metal analyzes were carried out in the water and in the fish tissue. Heavy metal pollution was detected in the surface water. It was also observed that some heavy metals (As, Cu, Cd, Cr, Mn, Pb, Ni, Zn) accumulate in the fish tissue. Significant structural differences were observed on the dorsal surface of the scales, such as interrupted primary radii, damaged circuli, damaged focus, damaged anterior scale margin, broken focus, deformed scale structure, scattered chromatophores, dilatation of primary radii, loss of focus, damaged annuli, symmetry shift in the lateral line canal, eroded circuli, damaged posterior scale margin, double focus, branching in the primary radii, asymmetric circuli, incomplete annuli and interrupted secondary radii in each of the fish collected from the contaminated site. Heavy metals are suspected to be responsible for the structural anomalies in the scales. Based on these observations, it can be said that fish scales can be used as an effective indicator of water quality.
Does abusive supervision increase employees’ helping behavior? Exploring mediating and moderating mechanisms
Authors: Nasab Roghayeh Hekmat , biuki Nahid Amrollahi , Sharifirad Mahammad Sadegh 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background: Typically, researchers believe that abusive supervision decreases employees' helping behavior. However, according to the emotional process theory of abusive supervision, subordinates show more helping behavior under certain conditions. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of abusive supervision on employees' helping behavior, with a focus on the mediating role of self-blame and guilt, as well as the moderating effects of core self-evaluation (CSE) and power distance.
Methods: In this study, the PROCESS Macro model was used to investigate the proposed moderated mediation model completely. Confirmatory factor analysis was tested with AMOS. Employees of diverse private and state service-offering organizations in Yazd, Iran, were invited to participate in the study (n=381) using simple random sampling. To gather the data, the abusive supervision scale (Mitchell & Ambrose, 2007), employees’ helping behavior was rated by the scale developed by Dalal and colleagues (2009), State Shame and Guilt Scale (SSGS), Self-blame questionnaire (Troester & Van Quaquebeke, 2021), Core Self-Evaluation Scale (Judge et al., 2003) and Power Distance scale from Dorfman and Howell (1988) were used. The hypothesized model was analyzed according to the procedure of the PROCESS Macro model.
Results: The direct association between abusive supervision and employees’ helping behavior was significantly negative; however, the significant mediation by self-blame and guilt was negative. Moreover, more (less) core self-evaluation intensified (attenuated) the relationship between abusive supervision and self-blame. More (less) power distance decreased (increased) the association between self-blame and guilt.
Conclusion: First, this study enriches the literature on abusive supervision and its aftermath by introducing self-blame and guilt as two mediators that can influence subordinates’ reactions to abusive supervision. Second, unprecedentedly, CSE was tested as a moderator between abusive supervision and self-blame. Third, in response to the previous call for research (Mackey et al., 2017; Tepper, 2007), the moderation of subordinates’ power distance orientation on the relationship between self-blame and guilt was investigated.
