Relevance. Studying the experience of working under the conditions of COVID-19 allows us to more effectively assess the functioning of anti-epidemic measures in the event of the occurrence or threat of new pandemics, including those caused by new pathogens. The risk of contracting COVID-19 among employees of medical organizations is higher compared to the rest of the population of the metropolis, which determines the need to develop additional measures in medical organizations to protect workers. Timely assessment of risks and preventive measures during a pandemic allow building a system to protect medical institutions from various biological threats when providing medical care. Aim. Assessment of the risks of contracting COVID-19 among employees of a large anti-tuberculosis medical organization in a metropolis. Materials & Methods. A survey of employees of a large anti-tuberculosis medical organization in Moscow was conducted. The survey was conducted on 46 key questions of epidemiological history, compliance with the requirements of the sanitary and anti-epidemic regime, alleged sources of infection, prognostic risks of the occurrence and course of COVID-19. During the period from August 1 to October 1, 2022, 1225 employees of the institution were surveyed (43.8% of the total number). The survey was conducted on a voluntary basis and was anonymous. When answering questions, participants provided information about demographic factors (age, gender), place of actual residence, the fact of contracting a new coronavirus infection, frequency of laboratory testing for SARS-CoV-2, immunization against COVID-19, possible places of contact with patients with COVID-19, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) at home and at work, the regular use of skin antiseptics, as well as other information that allowed us to establish the risks of infection of workers at home and at work. To assess the risks of infection, respondents were divided into two groups depending on the presence of a positive test for SARS-CoV-2 (group I) or its absence (group II) as of October 1, 2022. The material for testing was nasal/oropharyngeal swabs. The research of employees was carried out on the basis of the laboratory of the anti-tuberculosis medical organization, as well as in other accredited laboratories of the metropolis using the molecular genetic method, and since February 2022 also using the express method that determines the SARS-CoV-2 antigen. Results. Among the survey participants and according to the questionnaire data, 797 employees suffered from the new coronavirus infection COVID-19, and 138 (17.3%) of them had repeated cases of the disease. Factors that increase the risk of COVID-19 among personnel of anti-tuberculosis medical organizations directly involved in the fight against the new coronavirus infection have been identified. The results of the study demonstrated that important factors influencing the incidence of workers were the frequency of examination for COVID-19, the regular use of skin antiseptics, contact with sources of infection, the use of glasses for vision correction, the use of public transport and eating at work. Conclusion. The need to study the risks of contracting COVID-19 among employees of medical organization and, based on them, develop a set of additional anti-epidemic protection measures was confirmed.

Presentamos, a continuación, un análisis audiovisual e interpretativo de los primeros minutos de la serie de televisión The Handmaid's Tale. Dicho análisis será desarrollado en tres apartados: primero, los créditos de apertura [1]; después, la secuencia introductoria [2]; y, para acabar, la presentación del personaje principal en tres planos consecutivos [3]. Esta propuesta parte de la hipótesis de que en todo producto audiovisual contemporáneo de temática distópica, más allá de su historia en sí, pueden hallarse elementos estéticos que pueden caracterizarse de distópicos. Nuestro análisis se centrará, entre otras cosas, en aspectos como la composición, el sonido, la iluminación, el color o el montaje. Por lo tanto, a través del estudio de estos elementos, se intentará [des]cubrir un discurso distópico audiovisual que, paralelo al relato mismo, ensanchará aquello que hemos llamado “efecto distópico”. El objetivo de esta investigación será, pues, [de]mostrar cómo cada uno de dichos elementos (composición, sonido, iluminación, color o montaje, entre otros) pueden utilizarse en los productos audiovisuales contemporáneos y de qué forma esto se lleva a cabo para amplificar dicho efecto distópico. The following is an audiovisual and interpretative analysis of the first minutes of the television series The Handmaid's Tale. This analysis will be developed in three sections: first, the opening credits [1]; then, the introductory sequence [2]; and, finally, the presentation of the main character in three consecutive shots [3]. This proposal is based on the hypothesis that in any contemporary audiovisual product with a dystopian theme, beyond the story itself, aesthetic elements that can be characterised as dystopian can be found. Our analysis will focus, among other aspects, on composition, sound, lighting, colour or editing. Therefore, through the study of these elements, we will try to discover a dystopian audiovisual discourse that, parallel to the story itself, will widen what we have called “dystopian effect”. The aim of this research will, therefore. be to show how each of the aboved mentioned elements can be used in contemporary audiovisual products, and in what way this is done to amplify the so-called dystopian effect.

Poderíamos caracterizar a obra de Gregor Moder, Hegel and Spinoza: Substance and Negativity, como uma obra não ortodoxa dos estudos tanto hegelianos quanto spinozistas, como uma tentativa quase heroica de recepcionar de forma nova e original a tão problemática relação existente entre hegelianismo e spinozismo e, também, como uma tentativa de “fazer justiça” a ambos os lados da discussão.

Las posiciones de Brandom y Millikan se comparan con respecto a sus orígenes comunes en las obras de Wilfrid Sellars y Wittgenstein. Millikan toma más seriamente los temas de “figuración” de Sellars y Wittgenstein. Brandom sigue a Sellars más de cerca en derivar la normatividad del lenguaje de la práctica social, si bien hay también indicios en Sellars de una derivación posible a partir de la teoría evolutiva. Una importante tesis común a Brandom y Millikan es que no hay representaciones sin función o “actitud”.

Apresenta-se a tese da ressemantização do conceito de fundamento em Adorno (1903–1969). Através de análise bibliográfica e teórica, pretende-se demonstrar como é possível pensar a fundamentação numa filosofia marcada, essencialmente, pelo fracasso do projeto iluminista recente. [This paper presents the thesis of the resemantization of the concept of foundation in Adorno (1903-1969). Through bibliographical and theoretical analysis, it is intended to demonstrate how it is possible to think the foundation in a philosophy marked, essentially, by the failure of recent Enlightenment project.]

The article is focused on the Lublin Philosophical School; it explains its name, presents its founders, reveals the causes of its rise, and introduce the specific character of the School’s philosophy.It starts with stating the fact that in the proper sense, the term “Lublin Philosophical School” describes a way of cultivating realistic (classical) philosophy developed in the 1950s by a group of philosophers at the Catholic University of Lublin, Poland. The Lublin Philosophical School is characterized by cognitive realism (the object of cognition is really existing being), maximalism (taking up all existentially important questions), methodological autonomy (in relation to the natural-mathematical sciences and theology), transcendentalism in its assertions (its assertions refer to all reality), methodological-epistemological unity (the same method applied in objectively cultivated philosophical disciplines), coherence (which guarantees the objective unity of the object), and objectivity (achieved by the verifiability of assertions on their own terms, which is achieved by relating them in each instance to objective evidence). The term is the name of the Polish school of realistic (classical) philosophy that arose as a response to the Marxism that was imposed administratively on Polish institutions of learning, and also as a response to other philosophical currents dominant at the time such as phenomenology, existentialism, and logical positivism.

O objetivo desse artigo é compreender a diferença entre a moralidade dos sistemas filosóficos de Bentham e John Stuart Mill, bem como provar que há mais espaço para a elaboração de regras morais no utilitarismo de Mill, quando comparado ao utilitarismo de Bentham. Contudo, para que se entenda como a moral no sistema de Bentham distingue-se da moral no sistema de Mill, é necessário ter uma clara noção da natureza humana dos indivíduos de ambos os autores e dos respectivos princípios de utilidade que derivam destas distintas noções de natureza humana, pois o conceito de moralidade de cada autor decorre das respectivas ideias de natureza humana e do princípio de utilidade de tais autores.

Sustainability looks to achieve best outcomes for human and natural environments both now and in the indefinite future. It relates to the continuity of economic, social, institutional and environmental aspects of human society, as well as the non-human environment. This paper examines economic development as one aspect of sustainability, with a focus on knowledge management as an economic development strategy. Using Grey’s categories of knowledge management, the authors address sustainable economic development in the context of sub-Saharan Africa. Production capability is no longer completely dependent on capital and equipment; information and knowledge assets are increasingly important. In this information economy, success comes from harnessing the information and knowledge of a community. Such “indigenous knowledge,” local and often tacit, exists in every community, every region and every country. This knowledge is useful in identifying new entrepreneurial opportunities, as well as for sustaining and advancing local businesses. SubSaharan Africa provides an excellent case study. No other region of the world is in more dire need of development. The 700 million people in this area face tremendous challenges, including the world’s highest incidence of HIV/AIDS, deep poverty, unemployment, political instability, and a host of related problems. Key factors for using knowledge management as an economic development strategy in the region will include ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) literacy; uncovering and developing local intellectual assets; capturing tacit knowledge; internal and external knowledge sharing; and managing political, social and technological barriers. Other specific recommendations include promoting ICT literacy through training programs; leveraging internet and email technologies for community building; investing financial resources in R D; and developing metrics for outcome assessment.

Author suggests that we should not treat our own life too seriously. Treating seriously can be analyzed, firstly, as treating as something important. But we should not think about ourselves as more important than other persons. The second analysis suggests life without sense of humor. But, irony and laugh is the only way to cope with tragic events. That is why the attitude of resignation and accepting one own weakness is, against moral ideals, acceptable.

En este trabajo intento mostrar que la función de la doctrina heraclítea en el Teeteto es argumentar a favor de la equivalencia entre la tesis de Protágoras y la definición de Teeteto “la percepción es conocimiento”, y que de esta manera la doctrina apoya la relatividad del conocimiento. Esta lectura va en contra de quienes sostienen que Platón introduce la doctrina porque la cree correcta acerca de lo sensible, y va un paso más allá de la interpretación que afirma que Platón introduce la doctrina como una tesis ontológica para apoyar la tesis de Protágoras

Este artigo analisa a teoria da democracia de Carl Schmitt e procura destacar, a partir disso, suas virtudes e deficiências. O texto é dividido em duas partes. Na primeira sustenta-se que a teoria schmittiana de democracia se desenrola em dois níveis diferentes, um nível conceitual, essencialmente analítico, e um nível fenomênico, que segundo Schmitt seria meramente descritivo. Nesse horizonte pode-se compreender melhor a teoria schmittiana da democracia e sua crítica à democracia parlamentar. Na segunda parte, apresenta-se algumas críticas à posiçáo de Schmitt.
