Authors: Perek Shay , Nussinovitch Udi , Sagi Neta , Gidron Yori , Raz-Pasteur Ayelet 
Published: June 2023

Background
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a disease that poses a serious health risk. It is important to identify high-risk patients early in the course of their treatment. In the current study, we evaluated the prognostic value of ultra-short heart-rate variability (HRV), an index of vagal nerve activity, in IE.

Methods
Retrospective analysis was performed on adult patients admitted to a tertiary hospital due to IE. A logistic regression (LR) was used to determine whether clinical, laboratory, and HRV parameters were predictive of specific clinical features (valve type, staphylococcal infection) or severe short-term complications (cardiac, metastatic infection, and death). The accuracy of the model was evaluated through the measurement of the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). An analysis of survival was conducted using Cox regression. A number of HRV indices were calculated, including the standard deviation of normal heart-beat intervals (SDNN) and the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD).

Results
75 patients, aged 60.3(±18.6) years old, were examined. When compared with published age- and gender-adjusted HRV norms, SDNN and RMSSD were found to be relatively low in our cohort (75%-76% lower than the median; 33%-41% lower than the 2nd percentile). 26(34.6%) patients developed a metastatic infection, with RMSSD<7.03ms (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 9.340, p = 0.002), incorporated in a multivariate LR model (AUC 0.833). Furthermore, 27(36.0%) patients were diagnosed with Staphylococcus IE, with SDNN<4.92ms (aOR 5.235, p = 0.004), a major component of the multivariate LR model (AUC 0.741). Multivariate Cox regression survival model, included RMSSD (HR 1.008, p = 0.012).

Conclusion
SDNN, and particularly RMSSD, derived from ultra-short ECG recordings, may provide prognostic information about patients presenting with IE.
Effect of myopia on the progression of normal tension glaucoma
Authors: Hsueh Chun-Mei , Yeh Jong-Shiuan , Ho Jau-Der 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
Identify risk factors of progression in treated normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) in highly myopic and non-highly myopic eyes.

Methods
This retrospective, observational case series study included 42 highly myopic glaucoma (HMG, <-6D) eyes and 39 non-highly myopic glaucoma (NHG,≧-6D) eyes. Glaucoma progression was determined by serial visual field data. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression method were used to detect associations between potential risk factors and glaucoma progression.

Results
Among 81 eyes from 81 normal-tension glaucoma patients (mean follow-up, 3.10 years), 20 of 42 eye (45.24%) in the HMG and 14 of 39 eyes (35.90%) in the NHG showed progression. The HMG group had larger optic disc tilt ratio (p = 0.007) and thinner inferior macular thickness (P = 0.03) than the NHG group. Changes in the linear regression values for MD for each group were as follows: -0.652 dB/year for the HMG and -0.717 dB/year for the NHG (P = 0.298). Basal pattern standard deviation (PSD) (OR: 1.55, p = 0.016) and post treatment IOP (OR = 1.54, p = 0.043) were risk factors for visual field progression in normal tension glaucoma patients. In subgroup analysis of HMG patients, PSD (OR: 2.77, p = 0.017) was a risk factor for visual field progression.

Conclusion
Reduction IOP was postulated to be contributing in the prevention of visual field progression, especially in highly myopic NTG patients with large basal pattern standard deviation.
The Role of the Associative Experiment in the Formation of the Linguacultural Concept "HARBIN"
Authors: Belikov Sergei Vladimirovich 
Published: June 2023

The article is based on the theories of the concept of Yu.S. Stepanov, V.V. Kolesov, S.G. Vorkachev, V.A. Maslova and others. The author analysis HARBIN in the linguacultural context. It is described an associative free and directed experiment conducted by the method of I.A. Sternin in order to isolate the core of the concept and its periphery. The respondents of different age groups among both Russians and Chinese named 3‒6 associates on the stimulus word Harbin, which allowed to summarize all the associations and to allocate to groups on the genus-species principle. Our hypothesis is confirmed: subject-conceptual or material associations depend on nationality, level of education, as well as on the age of the respondents. Comparison of associative brings us rich material for mastering and understanding the language in its ethno-cultural specificity. As well as the use of associative-semantic fields of words as a verbal expression of concepts can be used in teaching the language in a national audience.
I.J. Good’s Claim, That Keynes’s Evidential Weight of the Argument, V, a Logical Relation, is a Number, is False
Authors: BRADY Michael Emmett 
Published: June 2023

All current assessments of how Keynes’s weight (evidential weight of the argument) concept is measured are erroneously based on a metaphor ignored by I.J. Good, which Keynes used before he presented the mathematical analysis involved in measuring weight in chapter 26 of the A Treatise on Probability, on page 77 of chapter 6 to measure weight.
Keynes’s chapter 26 is the omega while chapter 6 is the alpha. It is impossible to fully grasp Keynes’s evidential weight of the argument concept, first presented as a logical relation designated as V, which is then measured through the construction of an index of weight in chapter 26, without a detailed study of pp. 310-315 of chapter 26 of the A Treatise on Probability.
The misbelief that Keynes ‘s concept of the evidential weight of the evidence, V=V(a/h), in chapter 6 of the A Treatise on Probability, represented a measure of the absolute amount of Knowledge, defined as K by Good to represent a gross measure of weight, can be traced back to numerous book and journal article contributions made by I.J. Good between 1950 and 2000.
The most severe errors about chapter 6 of the A Treatise on Probability were repeated again and again by Good from 1950 to 1990 (Good 1950, 1960, 1962, 1965, 1967, 1967, 1968/70, 1970/71, 1975, 1983a, 1983b, 1985, 1988, 1988, Good and Toulmin 1968).
Good completely overlooked Keynes’s footnote 1 on page 76 of chapter 6 to chapter 26 of the A Treatise on Probability, where Keynes stated that he would discuss how to integrate weight into a discussion of “…the application of probability to practice.” This would require a mathematical analysis and, obviously, would require the restriction that V(a/h)=w, 0≤w≤1, and w is the degree of the completeness of the information so as to be able to combine it with 0≤α≤1, where P(a/h)=α and α is the probable degree of rational belief.

Published: June 2023

Produksi susu sapi yang melimpah tidak diikuti dengan permintaan yang tinggi dari masyarakat sehingga banyak produk susu sapi yang tidak termanfaatkan. Susu sapi yang masih segar maupun yang sudah rusak memiliki kandungan kasein yang cukup tinggi. Kasein termasuk polimer alami sehingga dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan utama pada pembuatan cat emulsi. Pada pembuatan cat emulsi, faktor yang harus diperhatikan adalah kestabilan emulsi. Maka, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh jumlah pengemulsi (1 gram, 2 gram, 3 gram, dan 4 gram) yang digunakan terhadap karakteristik cat yang meliputi ukuran partikel, waktu kering, viskositas, daya rekat, dan kekerasan. Hasil uji statistik (Uji F) menunjukkan bahwa jumlah pengemulsi memiliki pengaruh terhadap karakteristik cat yang meliputi ukuran partikel, waktu kering, viskositas, daya rekat, dan kekerasan. Hasil penelitian dengan menggunakan uji statistik (Uji F) menunjukkan bahwa jumlah pengemulsi berpengaruh nyata terhadap karakteristik viskositas, ukuran partikel, waktu kering, dan tingkat kekerasan, serta jumlah pengemulsi berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap karakteristik daya rekat cat. Cat emulsi berbasis kasein dan kapur tohor dengan penambahan bahan pengemulsi CMC sebanyak 4 gram memiliki kualitas yang terbaik, yaitu nilai kekerasan 4 H, daya rekat 97,5%, waktu kering 38,5 menit, ukuran partikel 8,75 mikron, dan viskositas 450 d.Pa.s. The abundant cow's milk production is not followed by high demand from the public so that many cow's milk products are not utilized. Cow's milk that is still fresh or that has been spoiled has a fairly high casein content. Casein is a natural polymer so it can be used as the main ingredient in the manufacture of emulsion paints. The factor that must be considered in the manufacture of emulsion paint is the stability of the emulsion, thus this study aims to determine the effect of the amount of emulsifier (1 gram, 2 gram, 3 gram, and 4 gram) used on the paint characteristics which include particle size, dry time, viscosity, adhesion, and hardness. Statistical test results (Test F) showed that the amount of emulsifier has an influence on the characteristics of the paint which includes particle size, drying time, viscosity, adhesion, and hardness. The results of the study using statistical tests (Test F) showed that the amount of emulsifier had a significant effect on the characteristics of viscosity, particle size, dry time, and level of hardness, and the amount of emulsifier had a very significant effect on the characteristics of paint adhesion. Casein and quicklime based emulsion paint with the addition of 4 grams of CMC emulsifier has the best quality, namely 4 H hardness, 97.5% adhesion, 38.5 minutes dry time, 8.75 micron particle size, and 450 viscosity. d.Pa.s.

Published: June 2023

Gambut mengandung senyawa organik seperti hemiselulosa, lignin dan selulosa. Gambut pada bagian atas disebut gambut fibrik dan gambut dapat diolah menjadi arang aktif. Pembuatan arang aktif perlu dilakukan proses karbonisasi dan pada umumnya proses karbonisasi menggunakan metode pirolisis. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk membuat arang aktif dari gambut fibrik dengan menggunakan metode pirolisis katalitik dan aktivasi menggunakan NaCl yang dapat memenuhi standar arang aktif menurut SNI 06-3730-1995 dari parameter kadar air, kadar abu, volatile matter dan daya serap iod. Gambut diproses secara pirolisis katalitik dengan mencampurkan bahan baku gambut dan katalis zeolit alam (1% dari bahan baku) pada suhu 500oC selama 120 menit. Selanjutnya 10 gram arang diaktivasi menggunakan variasi konsentrasi aktivator NaCl 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% selama 180 menit menggunakan perbandingan 1:10 (berat/volume) dan kecepatan pengadukan 350 rpm. Hasil optimum diperoleh pada NaCl konsentrasi 15%, dengan kadar air 4,71%, kadar abu 24,35%, volatile matter 5,20%, fixed carbon dan daya serap I2 774,14 mg/g. Hasil analisa kadar air dan volatile matter telah memenuhi standar SNI serta daya serap I2 telah memenuhi standar SNI untuk konsentrasi aktivator NaCl 15%. Namun kadar abu semua variasi konsentrasi aktivator masih belum memenuhi standar SNI. 06-3730-1995. Peat contains organic compounds such as hemicellulose, lignin and cellulose. Peat at the aspart is called fibric peat, can be processed into activated charcoal. The manufacture of activated charcoal requires a carbonization process such as the pyrolysis method. The purpose of this study is making activated charcoal from fibric peat using catalytic pyrolysis and activation method using NaCl to meet activated charcoal standards according to SNI 06-3730-199. Peat is processed by catalytic pyrolysis using natural zeolite catalysts (1% of raw materials) at a temperature of 500oC for 120 minutes. Furthermore, 10 grams of charcoal were activated using variations in NaCl activator concentrations of 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% for 180 minutes using a ratio of 1:10 (weight/volume) and a stirring speed of 350 rpm. Optimum results were obtained at 15% NaCl concentration, with a moisture content of 4.71%, ash content of 24.35%, volatile matter of 5.20%, fixed carbon of 65.74% and absorption of I2 774.14 mg/g. The results of the analysis of water content, volatile matter, and the absorption capacity of I2 has met the SNI standard for a 15% NaCl activator concentration. However, the ash content of all variations in activator concentrations still does not meet SNI 06-3730-1995.

Philosophy Between Interpenetration and Juxtaposition
Authors: Ott Margus 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
While talking about comparative philosophy, we should presumably know what philosophy is. In this paper, the concepts of interpenetration, intensity, and juxtaposition are proposed as philosophical tools to analyse phenomena, including philosophy itself. The axis of interpenetration-juxtaposition is discussed in three domains: embodiment, speaking, and thinking. The role of philosophy is seen, on different levels of interpenetration, as redistribution of concepts, resonance of intensities, and thawing of actualities. In comparative philosophy involving texts from different traditions, these effects should be especially notable.
The Touch of Kongzi’s Irony and Reflections on Methodology
Authors: Amarantidou Dimitra 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Scholars have often recognized the “touch of irony” in Kongzi’s “collected conversations” (Lunyu 論語 or Analects of Confucius). Some interpreters have taken the ironic face as one of his faces. Others have celebrated the ironic Kongzi as the “true” depiction of the Master. This paper presents two seemingly contrasting images of Kongzi – the non-ironic sage and the ironic non-sage – and looks at their assumptions. I then explore the methodological implications of taking the Master’s irony seriously. I argue that, touching upon irony, any interpretation is necessarily touched by it – it renders itself ironic. Finally, I discuss the post-comparative approach as an ironic approach. Post-comparative readings recognize that identity is the necessary condition for the transformation of identity. In this way, Kongzi’s irony is transformed by but also transforms more familiar, non-Chinese discourses on irony.
Getting to Know Knowing-as as Knowing
Authors: Beaney Michael 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In ‘Swimming Happily in Chinese Logic’ (2021) I suggested that the root conception of knowing for the ancient Chinese Mohists was knowing-as, a conception that fits well with perspectivism in the Zhuangzi, a key Daoist text. Drawing on Wittgenstein’s discussion of both seeing-as and samples, and developing the analogy between seeing-as and knowing-as, I explore various forms of knowing with particular reference to the Mozi, in attempting to make sense of ancient Chinese epistemology and thereby shed light on the whole phenomenon of knowing.
Nothingness and Neutrality
Authors: Wenning Mario 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Nothingness has become a prominent research topic in recent intercultural philosophy. An Eastern concern for nothingness is frequently juxtaposed to a Western philosophy of being. Rather than adopting a contrastive approach, this chapter proposes a critical conception of nothingness in a twofold sense. First, nothingness is related to human experience and action. Secondly, a transcultural conception of nothingness highlights the incongruity between distinctive domains of human experience between and within cultures. Departing from Roland Barthes’ aesthetic approach to nothingness in terms of “the neutral,” the chapter argues for a practice of inter-cultural philosophy that reveals the in-between spaces, the interstices, and voids in modern societies.
Transcultural Sublation of Concepts and Objects through the Lens of Adorno and Gongsun Long
Authors: Rošker Jana S. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate a new approach to transcultural postcomparative philosophy, which may be tentatively called “the method of sublation,” using the example of Adorno and Gong Sunlong’s respective views on the relationship between concepts and objects. The term sublation is a neologism commonly used to translate Hegel’s idea of Aufhebung. It is derived from the Latin term sublatio, for its original meaning covered all three crucial connotations of Hegel’s Aufhebung – to lift up, to preserve and to eliminate. The method thus encompasses all three of these three notions that are crucial to any process of creating something new from the interactions between two or more distinct discourses. In this philosophical sense, it has the three meanings of producing, eliminating, and preserving arguments, propositions, or ideas. Moreover, unlike “synthesis” the term “sublation” refers to a process rather than a stage. The sublation method aims to develop new forms of transcultural philosophizing and to overcome the impasses of traditional comparative approaches through procedures of “conceptual comparison” rather than relying only on the “comparison of concepts”. It starts from similarities and differences identified in the basic paradigms of different culturally and semantically defined frames of reference, and uses the method of discursive translation to transfer meanings across different languages and ideational traditions. Through a contrastive analysis of the similarities and differences between Adorno’s and Gongsun Longs conceptions of concepts and objects (or names and realities, respectively), the paper demonstrates the importance of considering different culturally conditioned paradigms and frames of reference in order to gain new, more complex, and more pluralistic philosophical insights.
Reading the Zhongyong 中庸 in Times of Cultural Upheaval
Authors: Schwabe Wolfgang 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The appearance of a modern, self-confident China has started to raise concern in the West. Policies are being re-evaluated, “China competence” is the buzz word of the hour. But these reactions cannot conceal the fact that the West is utterly unprepared to come intellectually to terms with this new reality. Philosophers with sinological knowledge tend to measure China by standards developed in the West and judge it accordingly.
This approach to China has been extensively criticized by Hermes Spiegel. (See Hermes Spiegel, China liegt nah, Hamburg: Meiner 2020). Fabian Heubel shows in his new book that the underlying assumptions about China in the current discourse do not only shape the understanding of China, but also hamper the discussion about China between the French- and German speaking academic community. (See Fabian Heubel, Was ist Chinesische Philosophie? Kritische Perspektiven, Hamburg: Meiner 2021, p.188–200).
This paper wants to change the perspective and assess the renewed interest in the Chinese intellectual heritage within China from an inner-Chinese, historical perspective. Based on the reading of four commentaries to the classical Confucian text Zhongyong it argues that there is nothing new about this quest for cultural renewal. Contrarily, China has been continuously re-inventing itself by producing new cultural models based on the interpretation of texts seen as constituting the core of Chinese civilization. By introducing four such attempts to revitalize Chinese civilization through exegesis, the paper pursues two different, but related aims. For one, it wants to substitute the static understanding of China for a dynamic one. Only when the interplay of intellectual and historical forces in China is taken seriously, the range, wealth and flexibility of intellectual life in China can be appreciated. Because of these qualities, radically different attitudes, values and political systems can be and were advocated based on the very same tradition. By adopting a historical perspective on the current development in China, the paper wants secondly to open up the possibility of a meaningful dialogue with China.
