Abstract:

Abstract The ontological status of esse cognitum was at the center of complex debates throughout the Scotist tradition (Alnwick vs. Aesculo, Mastri vs. Punch). This article investigates the Scotist Angelo Volpe’s discussion of esse cognitum enjoyed by possible creatures in the divine intellect. Volpe responds to two religious warnings, one against assuming any eternal real being for merely possible creatures, and a second against depriving God’s eternal knowledge of a corresponding object, since that would endanger this knowledge itself. Volpe opts for a solution that allows possible creatures the status of beings of reason (entia rationis) due to their own ontological merit, and the status of real beings (entia realia) due to God’s knowing that they as possibles are not in opposition to real existence. He rejects the view that esse cognitum is a kind of being that holds a middle position between real being and being of reason. Volpe’s historical significance is emphasized.

Abstract:

From the point of view of semiotics, the essential contribution of John Deely consists in having made us all aware of the richness of the Scholastic heritage, and to have explained it to us latter-day semioticians. Even for those, who, like the present author, think that semiotics was alive and well between the dawn of the Latin Age, and the rediscovery of Scholastic realism by Peirce, the notions coined by the Scholastic philosophers are intriguing. To make sense of scholastic notions such as ens reale and ens rationis is not a straightforward matter, but it is worthwhile trying to do so, in particular by adapting these notions to ideas more familiar in the present age. Starting out from the notions of Scholastic Realism, we try in the following to make sense of the different meanings of meaning, only one of which is the sign. It will be suggested that there are counterparts to ens rationis, not only in the thinking of some contemporary philosophers, but also, in a more convoluted way, in the discussion within cognitive science about different extensions to the mind. The recurrent theme of the paper will be Deely’s musing, according to which signs, unlike any other kind of being, form relations which may connect things which are mind-dependent (ens rationis) and mind-independent (ens reale). The import of this proposition is quite different if is applied to what we will call the Augustinian notion of the sign, or to the Fonseca notion, which is better termed intentionality. In both cases, however, mind-dependence will be shown to have a fundamental part to play. Following upon the redefinition of Medieval philosophy suggested by Deely, we will broach a redefinition of something even wider: meaning even beyond signs.

Abstract:

The concept of ens rationis is widely used by Kant in some drafts of his Nachlasswerk. In the first Critique, at the end of the Transcendental Analytic, Kant defines the ens rationis, or “thought-entity” (Gedankending), as a “concept without an object”. My aim is to show that, in Opus postumum, we find a significant shift of the notion of ens rationis, which lead to a redefinition of the transcendental philosophy itself. In the sections named A Elemen. System 1-6 and Übergang 1-14, this notion is used when referring to the ether, thought as a necessary material foundation of the collective unity of experience. The ether is thus not to be understood not as substances existing outside the subject, but rather as the result of a true act of positing. However, it would be quite problematic to conceive it as a mere fiction created by an imaginative action of the subject or, indeed, as a simple concept without an object. Kant writes for example that, although it exists only in thought, the ether has reality (Realität). Therefore, my point is that the status of the transcendental philosophy significantly shifts from a mere inspection of the formal conditions of possibility of experience to an activity which construct experience even from a material standpoint. The “thought- entities” are exactly what conveys this genetic function, and they therefore reveal a status which would be not comprehensible only with the speculative tools of the first Critique.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the possibility of using the post-Tridentine scholastic concept of the being of reason to address issues in the philosophy of artificial intelligence (AI). The authors argue that the concepts of the being of reason developed by Pedro da Fonseca and Pedro Hurtado de Mendoza can serve as a tool for analyzing cognitive processes in AI language models. This is grounded in two key premises: first, artificial intelligence processes replicate the processes of natural human intelligence; second, the scholastic distinction between real being and being of reason enables a clear differentiation between real and fictional objects that exist only due to the cognitive operations of AI. By examining the causes underlying the emergence of the being of reason (powers of the soul and operations of the intellect), the authors draw parallels with contemporary algorithms used to generate fictional objects. As a result, it is concluded that the scholastic concept of the "ens rationis" points to an analogy between the mechanisms of forming beings of reason in the human intellect and the generation of fiction produced by AI systems.

Full text

Abstract:

The article deals with the place of negations and privations in the structure of knowledge, from the point of view of the 17th century scholastic philosophy. Medieval scholasticism saw in negationes and privationes those objects which formed the central area of mental being (ens rationis), that is, objects which existed only in intelligence. This traditional concept was clearly articulated and affirmed by Francisco Suárez in the final chapter of his “Metaphysical Disputations”. The decades following the death of Suarez in 1617 were a period of profound transformations in metaphysics, which also affected the doctrine of the mental being. The transformations were particularly evident in the changing role and place of negations and privations which were denoted by the general term carentiae, that is, negations in the broad sense. This whole area was divided into fictitious and real negations; fictitious negations remained in the ens rationis field, while real negations were taken out of it. It were real negations that attracted special attention of scholastic philosophers who tried to understand their nature and structure and, most importantly, their ontological status: whether they were purely logical and linguistic constructions or represented facts of the real world. The article deals with different conceptions of real carentiae in 17th century scholasticism, taken from several philosophical courses of Jesuit philosophers, such as Francisco Suárez (Senior), “Portuguese Suárez” (Francisco Suárez Junior), Thomas Compton Carleton, Antonio Bernaldo de Quiróz, Sebastian Izquierdo and Pietro Sforza Pallavicino.

Abstract:

The article examines some aspects of Brentano's ontology, starting with his 1862 dissertation "On the ambiguity of Being according to Aristotle", as well as its influence on the philosophy of M. Heidegger. The author shows that the ontology of the early Brentano is not limited to ousiology, since it includes a discussion of the field of mental being (ens rationis, &#8002;&#957; &#8033;&#962; &#7936;&#955;&#951;&#952;&#941;&#962;) and it is in this aspect that he influences the young Heidegger. Following Aristotle, Brentano assigns a central role to the ontology of essence, which in the late period leads him to the position of reism, but in the lectures of the middle period Brentano discusses the problems of intentional inexistence, thanks to which projects of "new types of ontology" by Husserl and Mainong appear. The author believes that Heidegger was also influenced by these ideas. Of course, there are fundamental differences between the positions of Brentano and Heidegger, but the similarities are quite large. In particular, if Brentano, highlighting the real and true areas, gives preference in favor of the former, then Heidegger's ontology is built on the second member of this opposition. In particular, everything that can be given is called being by Heidegger, because we are talking about intentional being, about ens rationis, or &#8002;&#957; &#8033;&#962; &#7936;&#955;&#951;&#952;&#941;&#962;

Abstract:

The explosive growth over the last two decades of neuroscience, cognitive science, and “consciousness studies” as generally conceived, remains as yet unaccompanied by a corresponding development in the establishment of an explicitly semiotic understanding of how the relations of sign exchange at the neuronal level function in the larger network of psychologically accessible sign exchange. This article attempts a preliminary foray into the establishment of just such a neurosemiotic. It takes, as its test case and as its point of departure, recent discoveries from the neurobiological research on viuso-motor transformations and on the widespread cortical phenomena of selectively tuned, single-neuron response to argue for a vision of “intersubjectivity” whereby the ens rationis arising as a function of the neuronal semiosphere may be abstracted, constructed, and shared mutually across agents.

Abstract:

В настоящем очерке исследуются границы и возможности трансцендентального, понятого в качестве мыслительного, а значит, реального ограничения всякой возможной онтологии; иначе говоря, — всяких возможных, а значит, утопических, миров, абсолютным модальным рубежом которых является противоречие. Принцип, который, согласно Канту, объединяет феноменальное и ноуменальное в единый континуум contra contradictions, подпитывает континуум не-сущего — как аналитически невозможного, — структурированного противоречием. Этот континуум может быть помыслен по крайней мере как негативный объект, который, однако, не выходит (так кажется на первый взгляд) за границу ментального сущего (ens rationis), как максимум же — скандализированного Кантом экзистенциального квантора; но если, согласно Крипке, способность мыслить различные модальные пропозиции выдает его, предиката существования (∃), необходимость, то следует пересмотреть понятийные (а значит, реальные) границы возможных (а значит, утопических) миров, включив в эти последние как минимум некоторые невозможные миры, которые не подчиняются принципу как традиционному рубежу и сознания, и бытия. В работе предлагается спекулятивное моделирование таких миров, показывающее, что, с одной стороны, трансцендентальное гораздо шире, чем традиционно принято считать (например, принцип непротиворечия обходят миры с нелинейным временем), с другой же стороны, отрицание трансцендентального есть наиболее чистое проявление революционной негативности — потому именно революционной, что моделирование и исследование миров, которые по праву называются невозможными (в работе они, в конечном счете, именуются негативными), сходятся в родовом понятии утопии, пробивающей себе дорогу в вечной своей диалектике как возможное и как невозможное; в конечном счете, это дает перспективу для пересмотра политической субъектности — с опирой на чистую возможность невозможного (утопии) через фигуру вероятного как подсчета, пересборки и настраиваемого двигателя чистого возможного вообще.

Abstract:

This paper deals with the constitutive limits of the knowing process in Theodoric of Freiberg, with specific reference to the cognitio rationalis and characteristics of its object. In general terms, ratio-nality involves a difference between subject, knowing activity and known object, i.e., an otherness (as identity in the difference) in the intellect. It results in an intrinsic noetic composition, which can be interpreted by resorting to the ontological category of accident. According to Theodoric’s noetics, the object of the agent intellect coincides with the act of its intellection, remaining in itself and thus embracing the universality of the intelligible sphere in a univocal notion (ens). On the contrary, using formal principles to know the same being in the manner of the definition implies the rational activity “moving away” from its substantial core (pure noetic self-identity) and the impossibility of knowing the reality in its fully simple and universal mode.

Abstract:

Background The last 5 years have seen a surge of both clinical and scientific interest in empty nose syndrome (ENS). Although ENS is still considered a controversial diagnosis plagued by a lack of standardized diagnostic criteria, ENS is increasingly becoming recognized as a legitimate, physiologic disease entity. As such, it is important for clinicians to understand the most up-to-date diagnostic tools to assess ENS, confirm the diagnosis, and create a more standardized means to counsel these complex patients. Objective Contemporary literature review to discuss diagnostic modalities in the evaluation of ENS, in order to introduce evidence-based diagnostic criteria. Methods A systematic review was conducted in PubMed and Embase (2013–2019) using the search term “empty nose syndrome” to identify peer-reviewed articles on the topic of ENS. Articles advancing contemporary methods of ENS diagnosis and testing were included. A quality assessment was conducted using The Rational Clinical Examination Levels of Evidence. Results The novel development of the Empty Nose Syndrome 6 Questionnaire (ENS6Q) offers the clinician a validated patient-reported outcome measure to supplement history and physical examination. The in-office cotton test, performed by placing an endoscopically directed cotton plug in the site of tissue loss, may help to identify patients who may benefit from turbinate augmentation. Tools such as the sinus computed tomography scan, computational fluid dynamics, and intranasal trigeminal nerve function testing currently have insufficient evidence to support routine use in the workup of ENS. Up to 66% of ENS patients present with comorbid anxiety or depression. Conclusion The ENS6Q and cotton test assist in creating a standardized approach to the evaluation of patients suspected of ENS. These instruments should be used as an adjunct, rather than the sole criteria, on which to ascertain the presumptive diagnosis. Patients suspected of ENS should be screened for comorbid psychological dysfunction.

Abstract:

The aim of the article is to analyze and to affirm two theses. First, to show that, for Aquinas, the existence of God is not the condition for the metaphysics as a science and, second, that the Thomistic metaphysics leads to the notion of being (ens) which is the fundament of all acts of knowledge. To show that we analyze Aquinas?s theory of knowledge. That entails the discussion on the order in the knowledge, the short analysis of the rational soul and the role of the judgment in Aquinas?s metaphysics. Finally, we investigate the technical and the methodological tool which Aquinas calls via resolutionis and its role in the understanding of Aquinas?s notion of ens as a fundament of any knowledge.

Full text

Abstract:

The study aimed to determine the overall effect of replacing soybean meal completely with soybean expeller cake or extruded full-fat soybean in feed rations for broiler chickens on their carcass composition and meat quality. The experiment involved one hundred and twenty Ross 308 broiler chickens randomly allocated to three equinumerous groups (SBM, SEC, EFS). Each group was divided into five subgroups—each consisting of eight birds of both sexes (1:1). From Day 1 to Day 21 of life the birds were fed with loose starter rations, and from Day 22 to Day 42 they were fed grower rations based on a wheat meal, protein products and mineral and vitamin admixtures. The experimental factor was a protein raw material comprising: SBM group—soybean meal from GM (genetically modified) seeds, SEC—soybean expeller cake from n-GM seeds, and EFS—extruded full-fat soybean from n-GM seeds. The experimental diets were isocaloric and isonitrogenous. It was demonstrated that replacing soybean meal with SEC or EFS in feed rations for broiler chickens led to a significant (p < 0.05) weight gain on Day 42 of rearing by 4.57% and 2.88%, respectively. The chickens fed diets with EFS had worse (more than 4.14%) feed conversion rate (FCR) in comparison to the others (p < 0.05). Broiler chickens from the SBM and SEC groups showed a higher share of breast and leg muscles (by 4.74% and 7.54%) and a lower share of abdominal fat (by 31.1%) and skin with subcutaneous fat (by 18.8% and 13.4%) in comparison with birds from the EFS group (p < 0.05). The highest content of intramuscular fat with the best fatty acids profile was determined in the muscles of birds fed with diets containing EFS, while the muscles of chickens receiving SEC scored the highest. The results provide grounds for recommending SEC in broiler chicken nutrition as it allowed for obtaining the best production and slaughter results, whereas—from the point of view of the human diet—EFS should be recommended since it best modified the lipid fraction of muscles.

Abstract:

Despite the widespread adoption of Executive Information Systems (EIS) and their increasing importance in organizations, the process of their development is not well understood. The mainstream EIS literature tends to report success stories of EIS in the organizations studied and attribute this to a pre-planned rational process of origin and design of EIS. In this paper, a case study of the EIS development process in a manufacturing company is used to critique this rational view and to illustrate the applicability of an alternative perspective based on an organizational behavioural model. This paper suggests that greater recognition of the social nature of the process of IS development is necessary to understand how systems projects may be better managed.

Full text

Abstract:

A mathematical model coupled with electromagnetic field has been developed to simulate the transient turbulence flow and initial solidification in a slab continuous casting mold under different electromagnetic stirring (EMS) currents and casting speeds. Through comparing the magnetic flux density, flow field with measured results, the reliability of the mathematical model is proved. The uniform index of solidified shell thickness has been introduced to judge the uniformity of the solidified shell. The results show that a horizonal recirculation flow has been generated when EMS is applied, and either accelerated or decelerated regions of flow field are formed in the liquid pool. Large EMS current and low casting speed may cause the plug flow near the mold narrow face and a suitable EMS current can benefit to the uniform growth of solidified shell. Meanwhile, an industrial test exhibits that EMS can weaken the level fluctuation and number density of inclusion. Overall, a rational EMS current range is gained, when the casting speed is 1.2 m/min, the rational EMS current is 500–600 A.

Abstract:

Abstract Among various energy-storage devices, electrochemical capacitors (ECs) are prominent power provision but show relatively low energy density. One way to increase the energy density of ECs is to move from carbon-based electric double-layer capacitors to pseudocapacitors, which manifest much higher capacitance. However, compared with carbon materials, the pseudocapacitive electrodes suffer from high resistance for electron and/or ion transfer, significantly restricting their capacity, rate capability and cyclability. Rational design of electrode materials offers opportunities to optimize their electrochemical performance, leading to devices with high energy density while maintaining high power density. This paper reviews the different approaches of electrodes striving to advance the energy and power density of ECs.

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of the addition of palm kernel meal extract (PKME) to rations using microparticle protein sources on fatty meat and carcass weight of broiler chickens. The experimental chickens used were unsexed CP707 strain broilers aged 8 days as many as 200 birds with an average body weight of 153.98 ± 4.41 g. Palm kernel meal extract as treatment material. Ration composition includes ground corn, rice bran, microparticle soybean meal, microparticle fish meal, CaCO3, premix, lysine and methionine. The study was arranged using a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 4 replicates, each experimental unit was filled with 10 animals. The treatments applied are: T0=rations using protein microparticles/RPM, T1=RPM+PKME 0,2%, T2=RK+PKME 0,4%, T3=PKME+EBS 0,6% dan T4=PKME+EBS 0,8%. Parameters measured included fat digestibility, relative weight of abdominal fat, meat fat mass and carcass weight. Data were analyzed for variance at the 5% significance level, if there was a significant effect, Duncan's test was conducted at the 5% significance level. The results showed that the addition of EBS to rations using microparticle protein sources had a significant effect (p<0.05) on fat digestibility, relative weight of abdominal fat, meat fat mass and carcass weight of broiler chickens. The conclusion is that the addition of 0.8% palm kernel meal extract to rations using microparticle protein sources can reduce fat digestibility, relative weight of abdominal fat, meat fat mass and carcass weight of broiler chickens.

Abstract:

Abstract In both the 20th and 21st centuries, there has been a lively debate concerning beauty’s transcendental status in Aquinas’ thought. Nobody, however, has noticed that this debate can be replicated with peace. Peace’s place vis-à-vis the transcendentals is also ambiguous. This paper argues that peace is not an independent transcendental, but a transcendental of the good. In peace’s positive and negative rationes, union/order and rest/tranquility, it is reduced to the transcendental good. Yet through this reduction, peace adds conceptual content to ens. Inasmuch as something is, it is ordered/in union. Inasmuch as something is, it is at rest/tranquil.

AbstractIntroductionClinical handover by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) staff, as the first people who have contact with trauma patients, in the emergency department (ED), is very important. Therefore, effective communication to transfer clinical information about patients in a concise, rational, clear, and time-bound manner is essential. In Iran, the transfer of necessary information in clinical handover in EDs was carried out orally and without following standard instructions. This study aimed to audit the current clinical handover according to the Identify, Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation (ISBAR) tool and survey the effect of training the ISBAR tool to Emergency Medicine Assistants (EMAs) and EMS staff on improvement of the clinical handover of patients to the ED.MethodsThis is a clinical audit study in three phases in Imam Hossein Hospital (Tehran, Iran) during 2016. In the first phase, the clinical handover between EMS staff and EMAs for 178 trauma patients admitted to the ED using ISBAR was audited and information was recorded. In the second phase, the correct approach of clinical handover according to the ISBAR tool was taught to EMS staff and EMAs using pamphlets and lectures. In the third phase, again, the clinical handover between EMS staff and EMAs for 168 trauma patients admitted to the ED was audited using the ISBAR tool and information was recorded. At the end, clinical audit assessment indicators of handover were evaluated before and after training.ResultsClinical audit of the current situation in the ED showed that the clinical handover process does not follow standard ISBAR (0.0%). However, after training, 65.3% of clinical handover processes were performed in accordance with ISBAR. In the current study, there was an increase in all parameters of the ISBAR tool after training, most of which increased significantly compared to the first phase of the study (before the intervention).ConclusionsFindings demonstrate that patient handover in the ED did not initially follow the ISBAR standard guideline. After providing education as pamphlets and lectures to EMS staff and EMAs, a high percentage of patient handovers were conducted in accordance with the ISBAR instructions.Fahim YeganeSA,ShahramiA,HatamabadiHR,Hosseini-ZijoudSM.Clinical information transfer between EMS staff and Emergency Medicine Assistants during handover of trauma patients.Prehosp Disaster Med.2017;32(5):541–547.

Abstract:

Due to the environmental imbalance on our planet, the concept of zero waste is gaining importance day by day. It is particularly important in the aspect of production and consumption cycle management and responsible waste management in urban space. The aim of this article is to exemplify methods of reducing waste in smart cities according to the author's Waste Management for Generation, Environment, and Gains (WM2GEG) scheme. An additional aim was to select the most effective ways of rational waste management in smart cities. A structured interview method was used to collect data, and the research sample was selected using the Smart City Index 2020. The study identified environmentally and socially friendly and economically beneficial methods of rational waste management, such as composting organic waste, creating underground waste containers, and incinerating waste with energy recovery. Specific ways to reduce waste are also presented, such as banning disposable packaging and obtaining energy from renewable sources.

Abstract:

The state, development directions, opportunities and ways to improve inland fisheries management in Poland are described and discussed. Most of the country's inland waters are public. For fishing purposes, they are divided into fisheries districts. With exceptions, users of the fishing districts are selected through competitions. The user is obliged to conduct rational fisheries management in accordance with a fisheries management plan. Attention is drawn to the overdeveloped national fisheries administration and the possibilities for improvement. The fish stocks in the fishing districts are exploited by both a small group of commercial fishermen and a large group of anglers. While the information covering the basic data on harvest, stocking and other treatments in commercial fisheries can be considered sufficient, the lack of information about the number and catches of anglers is the greatest obstacle to the implementation of rational fisheries management. The preparation of a universal and mandatory system for acquiring angling data should be a priority for the national water administration, representing the owner of public inland waters in Poland.

Abstract:

This paper considers the solution of multivariate linear rational expectations models. It is described how all possible classes of solutions (namely, the unique stable solution, multiple stable solutions, and the case where no stable solution exists) of such models can be characterized using the quadratic determinantal equation (QDE) method of Binder and Pesaran (1995, in M.H. Pesaran & M. Wickens [eds.], Handbook of Applied Econometrics: Macroeconomics, pp. 139–187. Oxford: Basil Blackwell). To this end, some further theoretical results regarding the QDE method expanding on previous work are presented. In addition, numerical techniques are discussed allowing reasonably fast determination of the dimension of the solution set of the model under consideration using the QDE method. The paper also proposes a new, fully recursive solution method for models involving lagged dependent variables and current and future expectations. This new method is entirely straightforward to implement, fast, and applicable also to high-dimensional problems possibly involving coefficient matrices with a high degree of singularity.

AbstractMere facts about how the world is cannot determine how we ought to think or behave. Elqayam & Evans (E&E) argue that this “is-ought fallacy” undercuts the use of rational analysis in explaining how people reason, by ourselves and with others. But this presumed application of the “is-ought” fallacy is itself fallacious. Rational analysis seeks to explain how people do reason, for example in laboratory experiments, not how they ought to reason. Thus, no ought is derived from an is; and rational analysis is unchallenged by E&E's arguments.

Abstract:

✓ Glioblastomas multiforme (GBMs) are highly vascular brain tumors characterized by abnormal vessel structures in vivo. This finding supports the theory that glioma-associated endothelial cells (ECs) have intrinsically different properties from ECs in normal human brain. Therefore, identification of the functional and phenotypic characteristics of tumor-associated ECs is essential for designing a rational antiangiogenic therapy. The GBM-associated ECs have a large, flat, and veil-like appearance, in contrast to normal ones, which are small and plump. Although the tumor ECs have the typical markers, they proliferate more slowly than these cell types in normal brain. The GBM-associated ECs are resistant to cytotoxic drugs, and they undergo less apoptosis than control cells. Also, GBM-associated ECs migrate faster than controls and constitutively produce high levels of growth factors such as endothelin-1, interleukin-8, and vascular endothelial growth factor. An understanding of these unique characteristics of glioma-associated ECs is important for the development of novel antiangiogenic agents that specifically target tumor-associated ECs in gliomas.

Abstract:

Aim: Develop technology to apply bicyclic peptides for discovering covalent inhibitors of proteases and use this technology to create bicyclic peptide—warhead conjugates for targeting the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 3C-like (3CL) protease. Enhance the potency of the discovered bicyclic peptides for potential development into anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs. Methods: Rational design was employed to discover the initial bicyclic peptide—warhead conjugates. Medicinal chemistry optimization was conducted to improve the potency of these peptides. Enzymatic assays and mass spectrometry characterization were performed to validate the covalent inhibition of the target protease. Results: The need for peptide display selection in discovering hit bicyclic peptides was overcome. Active bicyclic peptide—vinyl sulfone inhibitors with nanomolar potency were discovered. Optimization through medicinal chemistry strategies not only improved the potency of the peptides but also revealed residue preferences at individual positions of the bicyclic peptide inhibitors. The most potent bicyclic peptide can inhibit the target with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 40.46 ± 6.35 nM. Mass spectrometry tests confirmed the covalent inhibition of the target protease by the developed peptides. Conclusions: Bicyclic peptide and vinyl sulfone conjugates are a form of covalent and potent inhibitors for targeting proteases. The rational design of bicyclic peptide ligands is feasible when structural and amino acid preference information is available. Structural information is also crucial for optimizing the potency of bicyclic peptide ligands.

Abstract:

Purpose Young offenders are known to have more chaotic experiences in childhood than non-offenders, and this impacts on their attachments, coping styles and early maladaptive schemas (EMS). The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between these factors and drug use. Design/methodology/approach This study used self-report questionnaires on a sample of 105 incarcerated young offenders. Findings Attachment styles did not differentiate drug users from non-drug users. Drug users were found to be no more likely than non-drug users to use avoidant coping styles. However, they were more likely to have emotional coping styles. Drug users had more EMS, and overall, those with insecure attachments had more EMS. Individuals with emotional coping styles scored higher than those with rational coping styles on several EMS. Those with emotional coping styles scored lower on the emotional inhibition EMS than those with rational coping styles. Practical implications The evidence presented has implications for the understanding of drug use in young offenders by: providing support to the model proposed by Young et al. (2003) regarding how insecure attachments can contribute to EMS; providing support for Crittenden’s (2008) model of attachment whereby problematic behaviours such as drug use can be a strategy the individual uses to protect themselves at times of threat or discomfort; highlighting the need for an integrated model of substance use in offenders which incorporates early experiences, attachments and EMS; and highlighting why substance use may become a coping strategy in young offenders and how to engage them to meet their needs in pro-social ways. Originality/value The study contributes to the understanding of attachment, coping and drug use in a young offender population. It sets foundations in the authors’ understanding of patterns of EMS in young drug users and highlights the need for an integrated model of substance use which incorporates early experiences, attachments and EMS.

Abstract:

AbstractAccording to Paul (Transformative experience, 1st edn, Oxford University Press, 2014), transformative experiences pose a challenge to decision theory since their value cannot be anticipated. Building on Pettigrew’s (in: Lambert, Schwenkler (eds) Becoming someone new: essays on transformative experience, choice, and change, Oxford University Press, pp 100–121, 2020) redescription, this paper presents a new approach to how and when transformative decisions can nevertheless be made rationally. Thanks to fundamental higher-order facts that apply to any kind of experience, an agent always at least knows the general shape of the utility space. This in combination with the knowledge about the non-transformative alternative in the choice set can enable rational decision-making despite the presence of a transformative experience. For example, this paper’s approach provides novel arguments for why gender transition (cf. McKinnon in Res Philosophica 92(2):419–440, 2015) or staying childfree (cf. Barnes in Philos Phenomenol Res 91(3):775–786, 2015) can be rational.

Abstract:

Identification of the mechanism of changes taking place in energetic materials (EMs) is one of the most important issues in the rational design and use of EMs. Due to the extremely rapid nature of these changes, reliable monitoring and real-time analysis are extremely difficult. Hence, analysis of the mechanism of such processes often has to rely on adaptation of classical methods or on comparison of the initial and final states of the EM. In this critical review, we focus on current approaches to the methodology of investigating the mechanisms of processes taking place in EMs, showcasing viable experimental strategies, points of uncertainty, and adaptations of classical instrumental methods.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Endothelial cells (ECs) in blood vessels under formation are stabilized by the recruitment of pericytes, both in normal tissues and during angiogenesis in pathologic situations, including neoplasia. In the tumor vasculature, besides supporting the functionality of blood flow, pericytes protect ECs from antiangiogenic therapies, and have thus been implicated in clinical resistance to vascular targeting drugs. However, the molecular nature of the crosstalk between pericytes and ECs is largely unchartered. Herein, we identified pericyte-induced survival signals in ECs by isolation of vascular fragments derived from tumors that had been genetically or pharmacologically engineered to be either pericyte-rich or pericyte-poor. Pericytes induced the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-w in tumor ECs both in vivo and in vitro, thereby conveying protection from cytotoxic damage. The pericyte-dependent survival signaling in ECs was consequential to enforcement of an autocrine loop involving VEGF-A expression in ECs. Through molecular and functional studies, we delineated a signal transduction pathway in ECs downstream of integrin αv involving activation of NF-κB as the initiating event of the protective crosstalk from pericytes. Our elucidation of pericyte-derived pro-survival signaling in tumor ECs has potentially important implications for clinical development of antiangiogenic drugs, and suggests new therapeutic targets for rational multitargeting of cancer.

Abstract:

Although the pathophysiology of dystonia remains incompletely understood, advances in two major areas of research over the past two decades have led to important insights into the mechanisms of dystonia. First, with the identification of dystonia genes, investigations using cellular and animal models of dystonia have become possible. Second, advances in functional neuroimaging have led to the possibility of identification of distinct functional, anatomical and neurochemical abnormalities in dystonia patients. Dystonia is currently conceptualised as a neurofunctional disorder characterised by alterations at various levels and multiple points along the sensorimotor circuit. There are multiple causes of these disruptions, and lesions along different points in interconnected pathways can yield similar motor dysfunction. The existence of dystonia endophenotypes in genetic forms of dystonia suggests that it may be a ‘second hit’ disorder, in which genetically predisposed brains can be thrown into an unbalanced dystonic state by environmental or genetic factors. Ultimately, a more complete understanding of the pathophysiology of dystonia should lead to better, more rational, targeted therapies.

Abstract:

Recently, the introduction of the magnetic field has opened a new and exciting avenue for achieving high-performance electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices. The employment of the magnetic field, providing a noncontact energy, is able to exhibit outstanding advantages that are reflected in inducing the interaction between materials on the molecular scale, driving chemical transport to change the phase structure of electrode materials, constructing hierarchical or well-ordered nanostructure of electrodes, rearranging the electronic/ionic distribution and transport in the electrode/electrolyte interface, and so on. In this review, we aim to introduce the effects of the magnetic field on EES by summarizing the recent progress of mainly two disciplines: the application of the magnetic field in the electrochemical performance regulation and the fabrication of components in EES devices. The theoretical principle and influencing mechanisms of the magnetic field are also analyzed and elaborated in detail. In addition, the challenges and perspectives for future applications of the magnetic field in EES techniques are highlighted. This review is expected to shed light on the exploitation and rational design of advanced EES devices by taking advantage of the magnetic field regulation technique.

Abstract:

Biomass-derived carbon materials (B-d-CMs) are considered as a group of very promising electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage (EES) by virtue of their naturally diverse and intricate microarchitectures, extensive and low-cost source, environmental friendliness, and feasibility to be produced in a large scale. However, the practical application of raw B-d-CMs in EES is limited by their relatively rare storage sites and low diffusion kinetics. In recent years, various strategies from structural design to material composite manipulation have been explored to overcome these problems. In this review, a controllable design of B-d-CM structures boosting their storage sites and diffusion kinetics for EES devices including SIBs, Li-S batteries, and supercapacitors is systematically summarized from the aspects of effects of pseudographic structure, hierarchical pore structure, surface functional groups, and heteroatom doping of B-d-CMs, as well as the composite structure of B-d-CMs, aiming to provide guidance for further rational design of the B-d-CMs for high-performance EES devices. Besides, the contemporary challenges and perspectives on B-d-CMs and their composites are also proposed for further practical application of B-d-CMs for EES devices.

Abstract:

This paper presents the possibility of managing plastic post-production waste, i.e. ordinary and heat-shrinkable film, in the construction sector. For this purpose, two types of lightweight 16 mm aggregate were produced from plastics, using proprietary technology (i.e. polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and PET/PVC/OPS (MIX) mixtures). The raw material was sourced from post-production waste, generated during the production of film labels. The results of the experimental testing of aggregate properties (bulk density, grain density, absorbability, compressive strength) are presented, the aggregate being sourced from recycled plastics. This paper presents the physical and mechanical properties of the plastic, as well as other popular lightweight aggregates (Certyd and Kermazyt) used in construction. In addition, the financial efficiency of the production of lightweight aggregate from the by-products of plastic label production was analysed. The economic analysis has shown that the use of plastic waste for the production of lightweight aggregate is rational, not only in terms of environmental protection, but also the financial benefits to companies that generate significant amounts of plastic waste.
