Abstract. In this paper, I focus on Kant’s notion of God, showing that his critical philosophy changed the meaning and function of traditional concepts. Then I move on to consider a philosopher of the contemporary Arab world, al-Jabri, who has been influenced by Kant: the author of the Critique of Arab Reason shares with Kant a dissatisfaction regarding a certain use of reason which does not inquire about its boundaries. Philosophy must confront its tradition, free it from prejudices, search for reasons and investigate the origin and uses of its concepts, but critically analysing tradition does not imply that the past cannot help charting the path of the future. A fresh reading of tradition could help modernize Islam without losing the cultural elements of identity.

Resumen. En este artículo me centro en la noción de Dios de Kant. Muestro que su filosofía crítica cambió el significado y la función de conceptos tradicionales. Después discuto a un filósofo del mundo árabe contemporáneo, al-Jabri, quien fue influenciado por Kant: el autor de la Crítica de la razón árabe comparte con Kant una insatisfacción respecto a cierto uso de la razón que no indaga sobre sus límites. La filosofía debe enfrentarse a su tradición, liberarse de prejuicios, buscar razones e investigar el origen y los usos de sus conceptos, pero analizar críticamente la tradición no implica que el pasado no pueda ayudar a trazar el camino para el futuro. Una nueva lectura de la tradición podría ayudar a modernizar el Islam sin perder elementos culturales de identidad.

Inter- and transdisciplinary curricula can potentially develop an integrated understanding of an increasingly interconnected, complex world and develop students' agency, empathy, creativity and critical thinking skills. Within the South African qualification landscape, the Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) is identified as a multi-or interdisciplinary qualification that allows working professionals 'to undertake advanced reflection and development by means of a systematic survey of current thinking, practice and research methods in an area of specialisation'. In this paper, four academics reflexively share their experiences of (re)developing and piloting transdisciplinary curricula for the PGDip in Sustainable Development (at Stellenbosch University) and the PGDip in Sustainability Learning (at Rhodes University). Reflections centre around the rationale, context and emergence of the two programmes, their structure and intended learning outcomes, and principles guiding the overall curriculum design. We highlight the appropriateness of transdisciplinary approaches to curricula focused on the sustainability field, and it distils three broad features of the two PGDip programmes that seem important - even necessary - for developing students' competencies as sustainability practitioners. These are ontological groundedness, epistemological openness and ethical attentiveness. SIGNIFICANCE: This paper provides a rationale for pursuing transdisciplinary curricula that are oriented to sustainability. It shares reflections from two postgraduate diploma curriculum design processes and provides summative insights into broad features of transdisciplinary curriculum design that may enhance sustainability transitions. These features may help to guide other university curriculum developers wanting to design similar programmes to support sustainability transitions.

Reinforcement and surface support are part of an integrated system that transfers and shares load until the excavation surface is stabilized or until the ground support system fails. Steel mesh is the most popular primary surface support element in underground hard rock mines in Canada. Mesh straps are a secondary surface support that provide additional containment as they distribute the load between and across the reinforcement elements. This investigation addresses the role of steel properties, and in particular steel chemistry, in the long-term performance of mesh and mesh straps when exposed to an aggressive corrosive environment. It reports on comparative accelerated corrosion studies to compare the resistance to corrosion of different surface support elements. This has significant implications on the choice of surface support and the anticipated rehabilitation requirements.

Abstract This article shares a reflection on the complementarity of the use of Photo-provocation and the Methodology of Narrative Productions (MPN) applied in a virtual context in the field of studies of old age and social exclusion. First, it describes the discrimination that affects older people and older women, exacerbated by the use of methodological strategies that generally infantilize and dismiss the agency of the older population in the processes of intervention and research. Second, a research experience with older women activists in Chile conducted between 2018 and 2022 is presented. It is exposed how the research was adapted to a virtual design and develops the use of MPN and Photo-provocation, as strategies that when used together contribute to remote work with older women. This work offers an empirical description and a theoretical-methodological reflection of this research experience. The final considerations discuss the contribution of the narrative-visual scaffolding to the production of scientific knowledge in the area of aging, its contributions to the recognition of the agency of older women and their visibility as subjects of knowledge. The ethical-political commitment to which these methodologies are ascribed, characterized by facilitating proximity to the participants, critical analysis of the problems that affect them and the search for collective solutions based on the recognition of their experiences. Likewise, its potential to confront the ageism entrenched in traditional scientific production.

Resúmen Este artículo comparte una reflexión sobre la complementariedad del uso de la Foto-provocación y la Metodología de las Producciones Narrativas (MPN) aplicadas en contexto virtual en el campo de los estudios de vejez y exclusión social. En primer lugar, se describe la discriminación que afecta a las personas mayores y a las mujeres mayores en particular, agudizada mediante el uso de estrategias metodológicas que por lo general infantilizan y desestiman la agencia de la población mayor en los procesos de intervención e investigación. En segundo lugar, se presenta una experiencia de investigación con mujeres mayores activistas en Chile realizada entre el 2018 y 2022. Se expone como se adaptó la investigación a un diseño virtual y se desarrolla la utilización de la MPN y la Foto-provocación, como estrategias que al ser utilizadas conjuntamente contribuyen al trabajo remoto con mujeres mayores. Este trabajo, ofrece una descripción empírica y una reflexión teórico-metodológica de esta experiencia investigativa. En las consideraciones finales se discute la contribución del andamiaje narrativo-visual a la producción de conocimiento científico en el área del envejecimiento, sus aportes al reconocimiento de la agencialidad de las mujeres mayores y su visibilidad como sujetas de conocimiento. Se distingue el compromiso ético-político al que se adscriben estas metodologías, caracterizado por facilitar la proximidad con los participantes, el análisis crítico frente a las problemáticas que les afectan y la búsqueda de soluciones colectivas en base al reconocimiento de sus experiencias. Asimismo, su potencial para confrontar el edadismo enquistado en la producción científica tradicional.

Resumen La sola existencia de un mercado no garantiza el máximo nivel de eficiencia y bienestar social que este puede alcanzar a través de una estructura competitiva. Como resultado, se han desarrollado un conjunto de relaciones teóricas e instrumentos matemáticos que permiten cuantificar qué tan lejos están los mercados existentes de ser competitivos, así como cuánto poder tienen las empresas para fijar precios y ganar más de lo que obtendrían en mercados competitivos. En este sentido, el presente documento analiza e integra diversas relaciones teóricas e instrumentos matemáticos que sustentan la evaluación de las condiciones de competencia y el poder de mercado, y muestra cómo la estimación de estos instrumentos se puede simplificar para requerir solo dos variables: participaciones de mercado y elasticidad precio de la demanda. Clasificación JEL: D40; L10; L40

Abstract The sole existence of a market does not guarantee the maximum level of efficiency and social welfare it can provide through a competitive structure. As a result, a set of theoretical relationships and mathematical instruments have been developed to measure how far existing markets are from being competitive; as well as how much power firms have for setting prices and earn more than they would do in competitive markets. In this line, the current paper discusses and integrates diverse theoretical relationships and mathematical instruments underlying the assessment of competition conditions and market power and exhibits how the estimation of these instruments can be simplified to require only two variables: market shares and the price elasticity of demand.

Abstract There is extensive literature on the motivations of various investors to integrate environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) factors into their strategies. However, studies on this subject focus on developed markets. They do not explain with evidence whether these factors, if absent, significantly affect the valuation of financial instruments, such as stocks or bonds issued by companies. Thus, the study analyzes and demonstrates with statistical evidence that the controversies associated with ESG factors and related to shares in the Mexican market are yet to be integrated into the corresponding valuations.

Resumen Existe una amplia literatura sobre las motivaciones que llevan a diversos inversionistas a integrar factores ambientales, sociales y de gobierno corporativo (ASG) en sus estrategias; sin embargo, los estudios sobre esta temática se centran en los mercados desarrollados y no detallan con evidencia si estos factores, a través de las potenciales controversias que generan en su ausencia, tienen efectos significativos en la valoración de instrumentos financieros, por ej., acciones o bo nos emitidos por empresas. Por esta razón, el presente estudio analiza y demuestra con evidencia estadística que las controversias asociadas a factores ASG y relacionadas con las acciones en el mercado mexicano aún no se encuentran integradas en las valuaciones correspondientes.

Abstract The healthcare context is undergoing a significant transformation, facing a series of complex and unprecedented challenges. This transformation is triggered by accessibility constraints to healthcare services, increased expectations from patients and sing financial burdens. Rather than being seen as unsolvable obstacles, these challenges can be perceived as powerful stimuli, encouraging the search for innovative and creative solutions, especially in a context where new digital technologies applicable to healthcare are emerging. In the context of this article, which shares a transformative vision of healthcare provision, we describe a pilot program developed for the Heart Failure ambulatory of the Internal Medicine Department at the Braga Local Health Unit (ULS-Braga). This proposal encompasses not only treatment, but also proactive health promotion, based on an approach that incorporates cutting-edge digital technology. The overall aim is to significantly expand the scope of outpatient services and provide innovative home care, bringing it closer to the specific needs of (healthy and sick) individuals.

Resumo O contexto da prestação de cuidados de saúde está a sofrer uma transformação significativa, enfrentando uma série de desafios complexos e sem precedentes. Esta transformação relaciona-se com preocupações prementes relacionadas com a acessibilidade aos serviços de saúde, a adaptação às expectativas dos doentes em constante evolução e aos crescentes encargos financeiros. Em vez de serem vistos como obstáculos intransponíveis, esses desafios podem ser percebidos como estímulos poderosos, estimulando a procura de soluções inovadoras e criativas, sobretudo num contexto onde existem novas tecnologias digitais com aplicabilidade à prestação de cuidados de saúde. No contexto deste artigo, que partilha uma visão transformadora da prestação de cuidados de saúde, descreve-se a proposta piloto desenvolvida para a consulta de Insufi-ciência Cardíaca do serviço de Medicina Interna, na Unidade Local de Saúde de Braga (ULS-Braga). Esta proposta engloba não só o tratamento, mas também a promoção proativa da saúde, assente numa abordagem que incorpora tecnologia digital de ponta. O objetivo global é expandir significativamente o alcance dos serviços de ambulatório e prestar cuidados domiciliares inovadores, aproximando-os mais das necessidades específicas das pessoas (saudáveis e com doença).

Hierdie studie stel drie uitbreidings van die Markowitz-portefeuljekeusemodel bekend: (1) pas portefeuljerisiko by individuele beleggers se risiko-aptyt; (2) sluit sekere aandele uit; en (3) omgewings-, maatskaplike en bestuursintegrasie (ESG). Die modelle word met die tradisionele Markowitz-model vergelyk deur empiriese data van JSE. Die bevindinge toon dat die onderskeid van portefeuljes gebaseer op risiko-aptyt of uitsluitings het 'n beperkte impak op toekomstige opbrengste gehad het. Portefeuljes wat deur ESG-integrasie onderskei word, het egter aansienlik hoër toekomstige opbrengste getoon in vergelyking met ander modelle of industriebeleggings. Die studie beklemtoon die superioriteit van ESG-integrasie en stel voor dat huidige portefeuljekeusemodelle nie die kuns van belegging ten volle vasvang nie.

This study introduces three extensions of the Markowitz portfolio selection model: (1) matching portfolio risk to individual investors' risk appetite; (2) excluding certain shares; and (3) environmental, social, and governance (ESG) integration. The models are compared to the traditional Markowitz model using empirical data from JSE Limited. The findings reveal that differentiating portfolios on the basis of risk appetites or exclusions had a limited impact on future returns. However, portfolios differentiated by ESG integration showed significantly higher future returns than the other models or industry investments. The study highlights the superiority of ESG integration and suggests that current portfolio selection models do not fully capture the art of investing.

Paediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection (PIMS-TS) has been reported globally since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease. The syndrome shares similarities with Kawasaki disease (KD). The manifestation of oral changes in both PIMS-TS and KD warrants that the oral health practitioner has an awareness of these conditions to facilitate timely management.

Classic depictions of human evolutionary ecology cast Homo as predator and other hominins, including Paranthropus robustus, as prey. Such hypotheses rest on a small number of fossils that exhibit evidence of carnivore predation, including the iconic SK 54 cranium from Swartkrans in South Africa. Here we demonstrate that the SK 54 cranium shares its closest affinities with H. erectus sensu lato rather than P. robustus. Demonstrating that Homo was prey for leopards at Swartkrans weakens the historically significant hypothesis that Homo was better able to avoid predation because of being behaviourally and technologically advanced compared to Paranthropus. Subsequent ideas about hominin palaeobiology derived from this hypothesis warrant reconsideration. SIGNIFICANCE: • The small sample of early Homo from southern Africa is increased by the allocation of the SK 54 cranium to that genus. • Evidence from Swartkrans suggests that Homo was prey for leopards. • Hypotheses concerning the biology, behaviour, and technological capabilities of Homo and P. robustus stemming from Brain's seminal work, The Hunters or the Hunted?, should be reassessed.

Abstract In Mexico, due to the demand for fruit, orchards of avocado (Persea americana Mill.) variety ‘Hass’ of subtropical climate are erroneously established in cold areas, affecting their production; an alternative is to use cold-tolerant rootstocks of the Mexican race, tolerance related to the increase of sugars in areas of demand, which it shares through grafting with the ‘Hass’ variety; therefore, in 2021, the segregants of the ‘rootstocks’ duke 7, tepetl, aceitoso, and colecta 1 were evaluated at the College of Postgraduates; analyzing glucose, fructose, sucrose and starch contents in vegetative shoots at 1, 7, and 14 days of treatment; in chamber 1 (treatment) with luminosity of 380 μmol m-2 s-1 and temperatures with light of 15.61 °C, and darkness of 4.40 °C; and chamber 2 (control) with luminosity of 367 μmol m-2 s-1 and temperatures with light of 23.2 °C, and darkness of 19.29 °C, considering the factor of cold and low luminosity, it was observed that, chlorophyll in the leaves shows growth without photosynthetic deficiency in plants in both chambers; the glucose content of the ‘Hass’ variety varies according to the glucose content in the rootstock; the fructose content increases in grafted and non-grafted materials, acting as an osmoprotectant, the sucrose content increases in the grafted aceitoso material and the starch content is not affected; as a result, duke 7 and tepetl were the materials with the highest concentration of glucose and fructose under cold conditions.

Resumen Debido a la demanda de fruta, en México, las huertas de aguacate (Persea americana Mill.) variedad ‘Hass’ de clima subtropical, se establecen erróneamente en zonas frías, afectando su producción; una alternativa es usar portainjertos de la raza mexicana tolerantes al frio, tolerancia relacionada con el incremento de azúcares, en áreas de demanda, que comparte a través del injerto con la variedad ‘Hass’, por lo que, en 2021 se evaluaron en el Colegio de Posgraduados los segregantes de los ‘portainjertos’ duke 7, tepetl, aceitoso y colecta 1, analizando contenido de glucosa, fructosa, sacarosa y almidón en brotes vegetativos, a los 1, 7 y 14 días de tratamiento, en la cámara 1 (tratamiento) con luminosidad de 380 µmol m-2 s-1 y temperaturas con luz de 15.61 °C y oscuridad de 4.4 °C y la cámara 2 (testigo) con luminosidad de 367 µmol m-2 s-1 y temperaturas con luz de 23.2 °C y oscuridad de 19.29 °C, considerando el factor frío y la baja luminosidad, se observó que la clorofila en las hojas, presenta un crecimiento sin deficiencia fotosintética en las plantas de ambas cámaras, el contenido de glucosa de la variedad ‘Hass’ varía de acuerdo al contenido de glucosa en el portainjerto, el contenido de fructosa, aumenta en los materiales injertados y no injertados, actuando como un osmoprotector, el contenido de sacarosa aumenta en el material aceitoso injertado y el contenido de almidón, no es afectado, resultando, duke 7 y tepetl los materiales con mayor concentración de glucosa y fructosa, en condiciones de frío.

Abstract Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a high-grade sarcoma. It is rare, aggressive and generally located on the trunk and lower limbs. It occurs in a high percentage of patients with neurofibormatosis type 1, although this association is not always found. This tumor shares histological and immunohistochemical characteristics with melanoma, which can make diagnosis difficult. We present the case of a patient with MPNST, in whom the initial histological findings led to an erroneous diagnosis of melanoma.

Resumen El tumor maligno de la vaina nerviosa periférica (TMVNP) es un sarcoma de alto grado de malignidad. Es poco frecuente, agresivo y generalmente se localiza en tronco y miembros inferiores. Se presenta mayormente en pacientes con neurofibormatosis tipo 1, aunque no siempre se encuentra esta asociación. Este tumorcomparte características histológicas e inmunohistoquímicas con el melanoma, lo que puede dificultar el diagnóstico. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con TMVNP, en el cual los hallazgos histológicos iniciales condujeron a un diagnósticoerróneode melanoma.

Abstract Echinodorus is the second largest genus of the aquatic plant family Alismataceae, comprising 28 species, of which 24 occur in Brazil. This study represents the first record of Echinodorus scaber Rataj for the State of Maranhão, based on material collected in the Municipality of Brejo, eastern Maranhão. Echinodorus scaber shares morphological similarities with E. macrophyllus (Kunth) Micheli, but it can be distinguished by (I) a highly branched inflorescence, (II) scabrous peduncles and petioles covered by stellate trichomes, and (II) small flowers with reflexed petals. This new record of E. scaber contributes to a better understanding of this genus’ diversity and distribution in Maranhão and underscores the necessity to broaden collection efforts for a better comprehension of the state’s flooded zones. Comprehensive collection efforts, with a special focus on aquatic plants and in locations far from the state’s main urban center, São Luís, may result in a significant knowledge increase of the flora, especially of the genus Echinodorus, which needs a broad taxonomic study. These recommendations may result in new records, range extensions, and species descriptions, contributing to the conservation of the aquatic environments of Maranhão.

Resumo Echinodorus é o segundo maior gênero da família de plantas aquáticas Alismataceae, compreendendo 28 espécies, 24 delas ocorrendo no Brasil. Este estudo representa o primeiro registro de Echinodorus scaber Rataj para o Estado do Maranhão, com base em material coletado no município de Brejo, leste do Maranhão. Echinodorus scaber compartilha semelhanças morfológicas com E. macrophyllus (Kunth) Micheli, mas pode ser distinguida por: (I) uma inflorescência altamente ramificada; (II) pedúnculos e pecíolos escabrosos recobertos por tricomas estrelados; e (II) flores pequenas com pétalas reflexas. Este novo registro de E. scaber contribui para uma melhor compreensão da diversidade e distribuição deste gênero no Maranhão e ressalta a necessidade de ampliar os esforços de coleta para uma maior compreensão das zonas inundadas do estado. Esforços de coleta abrangentes, com foco especial em plantas aquáticas e em locais distantes do principal centro urbano do estado, São Luís, poderá resultar em um aumento significativo do conhecimento da flora, especialmente do gênero Echinodorus, que necessita de amplo estudo taxonômico. Essas recomendações poderão resultar em novos registros, extensões de distribuição e novas descrições de espécies, contribuindo para a conservação dos ambientes aquáticos do Maranhão.
