The late origins of the timeline, or: three paradoxes explained.

We are all used to drawing straight lines to represent time, and above them, we plot historical events or physical or economic data. What to us is a self-evident convention, is however of an astonishingly recent date: it emerged only in the second half of the eighteenth century. To us, this late date seems paradoxical and cries out for an explanation. How else did earlier periods measure change, if not as a function of time? it will be argued that since Antiquity, time was taken to measure change, and change to occur in space. 'Our' idea of representing time as an independent dimension would have seemed aberrant. But then, a second issue arises. Did not medieval natural philosophers employ timelines, Oresme's diagram of the mean speed theorem being the most famous case? However, as will be shown, our interpretation of his diagram is probably wrong. This insight, in turn, takes care of a third paradox, namely Galileo's initial inability to represent the law of free fall correctly. This article will document that the timeline first emerged in the late sixteenth century in works on chronology, made its first appearance in physics in Galileo's diagrams, and had its general breakthrough in the eighteenth century.

How to construct liquid-crystal spectacles to control vision of real-world objects and environments.

A major challenge in studying naturalistic vision lies in controlling stimulus and scene viewing time. This is especially the case for studies using real-world objects as stimuli (rather than computerized images) because real objects cannot be "onset" and "offset" in the same way that images can be. Since the late 1980s, one solution to this problem has been to have the observer wear electro-optic spectacles with computer-controlled liquid-crystal lenses that switch between transparent ("open") and translucent ("closed") states. Unfortunately, the commercially available glasses (PLATO Visual Occlusion Spectacles) command a high price tag, the hardware is fragile, and the glasses cannot be customized. This led us to explore how to manufacture liquid-crystal occlusion glasses in our own laboratory. Here, we share the products of our work by providing step-by-step instructions for researchers to design, build, operate, and test liquid-crystal glasses for use in experimental contexts. The glasses can be assembled with minimal technical knowledge using readily available components, and they can be customized for different populations and applications. The glasses are robust, and they can be produced at a fraction of the cost of commercial alternatives. Tests of reliability and temporal accuracy show that the performance of our laboratory prototype was comparable to that of the PLATO glasses. We discuss the results of our work with respect to implications for promoting rigor and reproducibility, potential use cases, comparisons with other liquid-crystal shutter glasses, and how users can find information regarding future updates and developments.

Evaluación de las condiciones higiénico-sanitarias de puestos de venta de ceviche de chochos (Lupinus mutabilis) ubicados en las calles de Riobamba-Ecuador y análisis bacteriológico del producto y sus ingredientes

Los alimentos expendidos en la vía pública constituyen una fuente de ingreso para familias en países en vías de desarrollo, sin embargo, pueden ser fuentes potenciales de enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos. En Riobamba-Ecuador entre los alimentos de mayor consumo en la vía pública está el plato típico "ceviche de chochos (Lupinus mutabilis)", nutritivo, sensorialmente agradable y con precio accesible. Este estudio evaluó la calidad microbiológica y condiciones sanitarias de 10 puestos de venta. Se realizó el análisis microbiológico a 100 muestras correspondientes a: ceviche e ingredientes por separado (jugo de tomate, chochos desamargados, piel cocida de cerdo y cebollas). Estas muestras se tomaron en dos días diferentes y se cuantificó aerobios mesófilos, enterobacterias y Staphyloccocus aureus. Las condiciones sanitarias de los puestos de venta fueron evaluadas mediante una lista de verificación que incluyó los siguientes parámetros: diseño, ubicación, manipulador, preparación, transporte, comercialización y saneamiento. Los resultados revelan que todas las muestras estaban contaminadas con enterobacterias y S. aureus, 80% presentaban aerobios mesófilos > 6 log10 UFC/g, siendo el ingrediente chocho desamargado, el que aportó mayor carga microbiana en 6 de los 10 puestos de venta. Los resultados de la lista de verificación muestran que las principales deficiencias son: la no utilización de agua potable circulante y la manipulación de manera conjunta de los alimentos y el dinero. En conclusión, existe gran fluctuación del cumplimiento de cada parámetro dentro de las Prácticas Correctas de Higiene por puesto de venta, creando focos o entradas de contaminantes, que se evidencia en los altos recuentos de microorganismos indicadores de calidad sanitaria en el producto final.

Street food constitutes a source of income for several families in the world, mainly in developing countries and emerging economies; however, it can be a potential source of foodborne diseases. In Riobamba-Ecuador, among the most consumed food streets is the typical dish "ceviche de chochos (Lupinus mutabilis) ", a nutritious and pleasant sensory dish at an affordable price. In this study, the microbiological load and sanitary conditions of 10 lupine ceviche stalls were evaluated. Samples of ceviche and its ingredients (tomato juice, debited lupins, pork skin, and onions). These samples (n= 100) were taken on two different days and analysed to quantify mesophilic aerobes, enterobacteria, and S. aureus. The sanitary conditions of the stalls were analysed using a check list consisting of sections focused on design, location, handler, preparation, transportation, marketing and sanitation. The results show that 100% of the samples were contaminated with enterobacteria and S. aureus, 80% of these had mesophilic aerobics > 6 log CFU / g, and the debittered lupin ingredient is the one that provides the highest microbial load in 6 of the 10 stalls evaluated. The results of the check list showed that the main deficiencies are the non-use of circulating drinking water and the joint manipulation of food and money. In conclusion, there is a great fluctuation in the compliance of the Good Hygiene Practises parameters in each street food stall. It causes multiple foci or entrances of contaminants, which is evidenced in the high counts of microorganisms that are indicators of sanitary quality in the final product.

Reconhecimento e política no interior da tradição dialética: Sócrates, o Ateniense, Marx e Lênin / Recognition and politics within the dialectical tradition: Socrates, the Athenian, Marx and Lenin

O objetivo deste artigo é o de chamar atenção para uma série de questionamentos que podem e, a nosso ver, ainda devem ser feitos, acerca de uma suposta, exclusiva e definitiva doutrina política de Platão. Para tanto, inicialmente, é levantada a seguinte pergunta: A República, um dos mais célebres e comentados diálogos escritos por Platão, seria, de fato, o único momento de "sua" obra em que este autor expressaria a "sua" teoria política (comunista)? Amparados na leitura e interpretação imanentista de Hector Benoit a respeito dos diálogos platônicos, partimos da hipótese de que Platão, não sendo Sócrates, expôs ­ através de um personagem denominado Ateniense ­ em seu último diálogo na temporalidade da léxis, As Leis, um projeto de cidade radicalmente distinto daquele d'A República. Tal projeto se baseia na unidade dos contraditórios para a formação educacional dos habitantes de uma cidade composta por amigos que tivessem todas as coisas realmente em comum; cidade que deveria ser realizada na prática, e não apenas na metafísica alma do filósofo, como Sócrates haveria proposto idealisticamente n'A República. Assim, longe de ter abandonado os seus posicionamentos comunistas da juventude, como defendem alguns intérpretes, Platão, ao final da vida, teria, na realidade, os encontrado de modo mais rigorosamente determinado. No final do artigo, Marx e Lênin assumem o protagonismo, o que sugere ser a teoria política um dos fios condutores da milenar tradição dialética

This article aims at drawing attention to a series of inquiries that may and, in our view, still should be asked about a supposed, unique and definitive political doctrine of Plato. Then, initially, the following question is raised: The Re-public, one of the most famous and commented dialogues written by Plato, would be in fact the only moment of "his" work in which this author would express "his" political theory (communist)? Supported by Hector Benoit's immanentist reading and interpretation of the Platonic dialogues, we hypothetize that Plato, not being Socrates, exposed ­ through a character called Athenian ­ in his last dialogue, TheLaws, in the temporality of the lexis, a project of city radically different from that on The Republic. Such a project is based on the unity of contradictories for the educational formation of the inhabitants of a city composed of friends who really had all things in common; city that should be put into practice, and not just in the metaphysical soul of the philosopher, as Socrates idealistically proposed in The Republic. Thus, far from having abandoned, as some interpreters argue, his youthful communist positions, Plato would have in fact found them, at the end of his life, in a more rigorously determined way. At the end of our article, Marx and Lenin take on the leading role, which suggests that political theory is one of the guiding threads of the millennial dialectical tradition

Alasdair MacIntyre on the division of goods and "the corrupting power of institutions".

This paper examines the distinction between "internal goods" and "external goods" and its significance for the political thought of Alasdair MacIntyre, focusing especially on its relevance for our understanding of MacIntyre's views regarding the relationship which exists between "practices" and social "institutions. " The paper explores the origins of this distinction in the writings of Plato and Aristotle, both of whom (like MacIntyre) associate the notion of external goods with such things as wealth, status and power. Plato argues that these things are not really "goods" at all, but rather "bads," or things which ought to be avoided. Aristotle, on the other hand, takes issue with that view, arguing that the pursuit of such things is acceptable, morally speaking, provided it is in moderation and not to excess. The paper argues that what MacIntyre says about external goods and "the corrupting power of institutions" in After Virtue is ambivalent. For this reason, his views are open to different possible interpretations. Most commentators have read and understood him as a follower of Aristotle. There is however a strain of Platonism at times in the critical remarks which he makes about social institutions and those who manage them.

The Model Sketch for Enhancing Lie Detection and Eliciting Information.

BACKGROUND: Sketching while narrating is an effective interview technique for eliciting information and cues to deceit. The current research examined the effects of introducing a Model Sketch in investigative interviews andis pre-registered on https://osf.io/kz9mc (accessed on 18 January 2022). METHODS: Participants (N = 163) completed a mock mission and were asked to tell the truth or to lie about it in an interview. In Phase 1 of the interview, participants provided either a free recall (control condition), sketched and narrated with exposure to a Model Sketch (Model Sketch-present condition), or sketched and narrated without exposure to a Model Sketch (Model Sketch-absent condition). In Phase 2, all participants provided a free recall without sketching. RESULTS: Truth tellers reported significantly more information than lie tellers. The Model Sketch elicited more location details than a Free recall in Phase 1 and more veracity differences than the other Modality conditions in Phase 2. CONCLUSION: The Model Sketch seems to enhance the elicitation of information and to have carryover veracity effects in a follow-up free recall.

Clinical reasoning as midwifery: A Socratic model for shared decision making in person-centred care.

Shared decision making has become the standard of care, yet there remains no consensus about how it should be conducted. Most accounts are concerned with threats to patient autonomy, and they address the dangers of a power imbalance by foregrounding the patient as a person whose complex preferences it is the practitioner's task to support. Other corrective models fear that this level of mutuality risks abdicating the practitioner's responsibilities as an expert, and they address that concern by recovering a nuanced but genuinely directive clinical role. Cribb and Entwistle helpfully categorize models of shared decision making as 'narrower' and 'broader' and praise the latter's 'open-ended and fully dialogical ways of relating'. However, they stop short of providing a philosophical account of how that dialogue works. In this paper, a nurse-midwife and a philosopher collaborate to argue that the Socratic model of dialogue offers a solution to the practitioner-patient dilemma. In the Theaetetus, Socrates compares dialogical reasoning to 'midwifery with all its standard features'. By means of a three-way analogy, elements of midwifery practice are used to illuminate features of Socrates' claim that his dialogue is like midwifery; those features are then translated into an approach to shared decision making as the 'midwifery of good thinking' which both midwives and physicians would do well to adopt. A key concept that emerges is the need for practitioners to make a risk-confidence assessment of the particular content of any decision to appropriately modulate their role in the practice of shared decision making.

Human Nature and Aspiring the Divine: On Antiquity and Transhumanism.

Many transhumanists see their respective movement as being rooted in ancient ethical thought. However, this alleged connection between the contemporary transhumanist doctrine and the ethical theory of antiquity has come under attack. In this paper, we defend this connection by pointing out a key similarity between the two intellectual traditions. Both traditions are committed to the "radical transformation thesis": ancient ethical theory holds that we should assimilate ourselves to the gods as far as possible, and transhumanists hold that we should enhance ourselves beyond the physical and intellectual parameters of being human so as to become posthuman. By considering the two views in tandem, we develop an account of the assimilation directive that is palatable to contemporary readers and provide a view of posthumanism worth wanting.

Plato unmasks hidden limits of tele-education.

Plato's powerful metaphor of the Cave, from Republic, further advances a critical assessment of the hidden limits of distance learning. In the Cave, individuals are restrained to see only straight ahead to the images projected from behind them onto the wall in front of them. As in the Cave, in tele-education the dynamism of learning is replaced by passive learning. Not only do learners become largely passive with respect to their teacher, but also to each other. These effects are masked from teacher and learner alike by the technical prowess of distance learning and teaching, a version of Plato's Cave. Tele-education has at least three undeniably salient features: safety, convenience, and cost savings. Two and a half millennia after Plato gave us the concept of mimesis and the metaphor of the Cave, we can use these philosophical tools to unmask hidden limits of tele-education.

Phenomenology of Illness and the Need for a More Comprehensive Approach: Lessons from a Discussion of Plato's Charmides.

Phenomenology informs a number of contemporary attempts to give more weight to the lived experience of patients and overcome the limitations of a one-sidedly biomedical understanding of illness. Susan Bredlau has recently presented a reading of Plato's dialogue Charmides, which portrays Socrates as a pioneer of the phenomenological approach to illness. I use a critical discussion of Bredlau's interpretation of the Charmides to show that the phenomenology of illness also has its shortcomings and needs to be complemented by still other approaches. While Bredlau does make a number of highly apt and relevant suggestions as to how a narrow biomedical approach to illness may be corrected, some (but not all) of which are related to phenomenology, the attribution to Plato's Socrates of a phenomenological approach is mistaken. Characteristically, Socrates shows little interest in the personal experience of a patient. He is more concerned with the patient's lifestyle and conduct and so suggests an alternative or complementary perspective, stressing the importance of education and prevention to health care.

[Shapes or icons from the dietary guidelines. A reality going beyond healthy food]. / Grafismos o iconos provenientes de las guías alimentarias. Una realidad que va más allá de la alimentación saludable.

INTRODUCTION: Background: icons or shapes represent the development and approval of dietary guidelines including recommendations of food consumption and nutrient intakes according to the behavioral models of countries worldwide. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) collected and recognized them. Methods: food-based dietary guidelines from 94 countries included in the FAO website. Websites of the different Spanish scientific societies that have elaborated and developed them, including the Mediterranean Diet Foundation. Results: in all, 94 countries are collected in the FAO food guidelines website, with predominant models of 33 diet plates and 51 food pyramids, emerging 11 as new graphics systems, that reflect, in addition to food: 52, physical activity; 63, water or hydration; 20, social and emotional values; and 13, reduction or elimination of alcoholic beverages. Conclusions: the models with icons or shapes so far are consistent with the modes of distribution of food at meals and adapting to new criteria that include behavioral guidelines. New designs are incorporated that include food safety guidelines in generic graphic structures that do not represent any of the classic models: food plates or food pyramids.

Review of plasma turbulence experiments.

Understandings of turbulent plasma have been developed along with nuclear fusion research for more than a half century. Long international research has produced discoveries concerning turbulent plasma that allow us to notice the hidden nature and physics questions that could contribute to other scientific fields and the development of technologies. Guiding concepts have been established up to now that stimulate investigations on turbulent plasma. Research based on concepts concerning symmetry breaking and global linkage requires observing the entire field of plasma turbulence for an ultimate understanding of plasma. This article reviews the achievements as well as contemporary problems regarding turbulence experiments associated with strongly magnetized plasmas in the last and present century, and introduces forthcoming experimental issues, including new diagnostics and physics-oriented devices related to plasma turbulence.

Moral sensitivity revisited.

Nurses find themselves in a unique position - between patient and physicians, and in close proximity to the patient. Moral sensitivity can help nurses to cope with the daily turmoil of demands and opinions while delivering care in concordance with the value system of the patient. This article aims to reconsider the concept of moral sensitivity by discussing the function of emotions in morality. We turn to the ideas of historic and contemporary authors on the function of emotions in morality to expand our understanding of moral sensitivity. Ancient philosophers and contemporary psychologists uphold different strategies on the orientation of morality being (a) personal growth or (b) community living, and the primordial function of (c) reason and (d) emotions in the creation of judgements about good and bad. The theoretical discussion on the function of emotions in morality shows that by focusing on reason alone, one leaves out an essential part of morality. The concept of moral sensitivity should (1) include an initial judgment of good and bad based on emotions, (2) hold the ability to reflect on the initial judgement and the associated emotions, (3) include the ability to understand other stakeholders' perspectives based on the ideal-types and (4) include a personal decision on the right course of action.

Multi-party computation mechanism for anonymous equity block trading: A secure implementation of turquoise plato uncross.

Dark pools are financial trading venues where orders are entered and matched in secret so that no order information is leaked. By preventing information leakage, dark pools offer the opportunity for large volume block traders to avoid the costly effects of market impact. However, dark pool operators have been known to abuse their privileged access to order information. To address this issue, we introduce a provably secure multi-party computation mechanism that prevents an operator from accessing and misusing order information. Specifically, we implement a secure emulation of Turquoise Plato Uncross, Europe's largest dark pool trading mechanism, and demonstrate that it can handle real world trading throughput, with guaranteed information integrity.

Doses to Organs at Risk Calculated Using Plato and Oncentra Softwares in Intracavitary Brachytherapy Dos kepada Organ Berisiko yang Dikirakan Menggunakan Perisian Plato dan Oncentra bagi Brakiterapi Intrakaviti / Jurnal Sains Kesihatan Malaysia

@#This is a retrospective study, the organ doses of the bladder and the rectum were compared between routine PLATO V14.2.3 (Nucletron B.V., Veenendaal, The Netherlands) and newer version software Oncentra MasterPlan (OMP) V4.3 (Nucletron B.V., Veenendaal, The Netherlands) treatment planning systems (TPS). The treatment data of 32 intracavitary brachytherapy patients at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia from January 2010 to June 2015 were used. These data sets were used for catheter reconstruction for both PLATO and OMP TPS followed by independent verification using Excel. There was no significant difference in mean doses to organs at risk (OARs) that calculated by both TPS (p>0.05). The mean percentage of doses calculated by PLATO TPS for bladder and rectum were 66.58 ± 27.42% and 46.27 ± 14.47%, respectively. While, the mean percentage of doses for bladder and rectum calculated by OMP TPS were 65.68 ± 24.24% and 46.46 ± 16.66%, respectively. The mean percentage difference in doses comparison between independent verification calculation and PLATO TPS was 1.96 ± 6.00% and then became 6.37 ± 5.17% when it was compared with OMP TPS. Overall, the dose calculation differences for both versions of TPS were within the range recommended by Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The dose calculations of the two treatment planning systems showed good agreement and both could be used in planning intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer. Whereas, Excel based independent verification is suitable to be implemented as routine dose verification programme prior to treatment delivery.

Uma revisita ao desejo do psicanalista em O banquete de Platão, segundo o legado de Freud e Lacan / A revisit to the analyst's desire at Plato's The banquet, according to the legacy of Freud and Lacan / Una revisita al deseo del psicoanalista en El banquete de Platón, de acuerdo con el legado de Freud y Lacan

Objetivamos compreender o termo desejo do psicanalista enquanto direção ética da psicanálise. Para isso, o texto partirá de contribuições da conceituação do termo desejo em Freud como introdução ao termo desejo do psicanalista nomeado por Lacan, lugar esvaziado de intenções pessoais e de promessas de felicidade ao seu analisante. Ao longo do trabalho, serão revisitados alguns pontos essenciais da clássica obra literária O banquete de Platão de acordo com Lacan, destacando a relação de Sócrates e Alcibíades como possibilidade de contraponto da práxis psicanalítica. Em uma correlação com essa práxis, Sócrates foi colocado no lugar de objeto perdido, objeto agalmático para Alcibíades, ocupando um lugar de objeto na transferência do amor depositado por este último. Diante da sua sustentação e do desejo de não ceder ao discurso sedutor deste participante, Sócrates relança-o ao seu próprio desejo, tal como é recomendado a um psicanalista na condução de um tratamento. Finalmente, esse exemplo irá nos levar a uma reflexão quanto ao rigor ético da psicanálise como norteadora do desejo do psicanalista (AU)

We aim to understand the term psychoanalyst's desire as an ethical direction of psychoanalysis. For this, the text will start from contributions of the conceptualization of the term desire in Freud as an introduction to the term desire of the psychoanalyst named by Lacan, a place emptied of his personal intentions and promises of happiness to his analysand. Throughout the work, some essential points of the classic literary work Plato's The banquet will be revisited by Lacan, highlighting the relationship between Socrates and Alcibiades as a possibility for counterpointing psychoanalytic praxis. In a correlation with this praxis, Socrates may have been placed in the place of a lost object, an agalmatic object for Alcibiades, who occupied an object`s place in the transference and love deposited by the latter. Given the support and desire not to give in to this participant's seductive speech, Socrates relaunches it to his own desire as recommended by a psychoanalyst when conducting a treatment. Finally, this example will enlighten us for a reflection on the ethical rigor of psychoanalysis as guiding the psychoanalyst's desire (AU)

Nuestro objetivo es entender el término deseo del psicoanalista como una dirección ética del psicoanálisis. Para esto, el texto comenzará con contribuciones de la conceptualización del término deseo en Freud como una introducción al término deseo del psicoanalista nombrado por Lacan, un lugar vaciado de sus intenciones personales y promesas de felicidad para su analizante. Se explorarán algunos puntos esenciales de la obra literaria clásica El banquete de Platón por Lacan, destacando la relación entre Sócrates y Alcibíades como una posibilidad de contrapunto a la praxis psicoanalítica. En una correlación con esta praxis, Sócrates puede haber sido colocado en el lugar de objeto perdido, objeto agalmático para Alcibíades, quien ocupó un lugar de objeto en la transferencia y el amor depositado por este último. Delante su apoyo y deseo de no ceder ante el discurso seductor de este participante, Sócrates lo relanza a su propio deseo según lo recomendado por un psicoanalista cuando realiza el tratamiento. Finalmente, este ejemplo nos iluminará para reflexionar sobre el rigor ético del psicoanálisis como guía para el deseo del psicoanalista (AU)

The relevance of Xenophon's Anabasis and Plato's Meno to nursing.

The current situation in which the humanities are disparaged affects all university disciplines, including nursing, in whose historical evolution the humanities have always been present in one form or another. Looking beyond this disrepute, this study proposes that nursing renew its attention to classical philosophy. Specifically, it invites a close reading of Xenophon's Anabasis and Plato's Meno, to get three related goals: to show how the use of ancient texts are very valuable tools for the philosophical initiation of nursing students and can help them reflect on their choice of nursing as a practical activity; to reflect on the problem of virtue and the nature of the good life; and to show how the interaction with ancient texts allows students to reflect on questions and issues of life, theirs and others, that are not open to investigation through a purely scientific method. Consequently, both Anabasis and Meno readings strengthen the intellectual relationship between philosophy and nursing, enabling the latter to delve deeper into the key questions of its own thought as a discipline.
