Physician’s Code of Ethics: Education of Dignity

Education is a part of the educational process that forms a person’s ability to feel dignity in himself and in others. Such a skill is of particular importance to the healthcare professional, whose vocation requires sensitivity to the patient. In a state of disease, a person acutely experiences a “loss of dignity”. So, one of the tasks of a physician is to see the dignity of his patient, to recognize its regions that are injured, and to pay proper respect to the inviolable core of the dignity. The author of the article provides guidelines for such a distinction. She researches the types of dignity, identifies the most important of them, and demonstrates situations in medical practice in which this distinction is relevant. The author understands dignity as a multifaceted phenomenon which corresponds to the inviolable value of the human person, virtue, the status of a moral subject. Such multifacetedness is reflected in attempts to typologize dignity. The article presents the concepts of distinguishing types of dignity proposed by L. R. Kass (basic dignity of human being and full dignity of being human), V. Kniazevich (ontological and existential aspects), A. Rodziński (dignity of personality, personal dignity and dignity of the person), D. P. Sulmasy (attributed, inflorescent and intrinsic dignity). The disease, especially the serious one, is a test of dignity. The author, however, argues, that the basic layer of dignity remains inviolable even in states that do not correspond to the status of a rational being. It is claimed that the disease injures less significant layers of dignity. The physician’s vocation, therefore, is to recognize these injured aspects and to demonstrate to the patient the fact that his basic, intrinsic, ontological dignity cannot be lost under any circumstances. Educating future physicians to be able to distinguish between all aspects of dignity should be an important part of the educational process in medical schools.

Variasi Temporal Karakteristik Arus di Perairan Tanjung Jati Kabupaten Jepara

The waters of Tanjung Jati, Jepara Regency, are quite strategic areas due to the utilization of the coastal areas and waters. One water parameter that is important to study and has a high enough influence on other parameters is ocean currents. The purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of the ocean currents that occur in the waters of Tanjung Jati, by temporal variation in 2020 and 2021. The results show that the smallest current velocity is in the most basic layer; this is likely due to the influence of the friction force on the bottom of the water, while the greatest velocity is on the layer near the surface. Current characteristics show a relationship between current velocity, current direction, and water level that occurs in each layer of water. This relationship can be seen by the decrease in current velocity at the lowest tide and the highest tide, and vice versa. The current velocity increases at low tide. The highest optimal velocity at low tide towards tide compared to tidal currents towards ebb. The direction of this optimal current is northeast. The movement of the current at tide towards the ebb is towards the West - Southwest, while the current movement during the tide towards the tide is towards the East - Northeast direction. The direction of the dominant current that occurs in the waters of Tanjung Jati B, Jepara, is towards the East-Northeast domination at low tide and towards the West-Southwest domination at low tide. Details on the current characteristics of each layer in 2020 and 2021 have not changed significantly. Kawasan perairan Tanjung Jati Kabupaten Jepara merupakan Kawasan yang cukup strategis dikarenakan pemanfaatan wilayah pesisir maupun perairannya. Terkait hal tersebut, sal;ah satu parameter perairan yang penting untuk diteliti dan mempunyai pengaruh cukup tinggi terhadap parameter lainnya adalah arus laut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui karakteristik arus laut yang terjadi di perairan Tanjung Jati, secara variasi temporal tahun 2020 dan 2021. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan Kecepatan arus terkecil berada pada layer paling dasar hal ini kemungkinan terjadi karena pengaruh gaya gesek dengan dasar perairan, sedangkan kecepatan paling besar berada pada layer dekat permukaan. Karakteristik arus seperti yang terlihat menunjukan adanya hubungan antara kecepatan arus, arah arus dengan elevasi air yang terjadi pada setiap lapis air. Hubungan ini dapat dilihat dengan adanya penurunan kecepatan arus pada saat muka air surut terendah dan pasang tertinggi dan sebaliknya kecepatan arus meningkat pada saat pasang menuju surut. Kecepatan optimal tertinggi pada saat arus surut menuju pasang dibandingkan dengan arus pasang menuju surut. Arah arus optimal ini adalah timur laut. Pergerakan arus pada saat pasang menuju surut adalah ke arah Barat – Barat Daya sedangkan pergerakan arus pada saat surut menuju pasang adalah ke arah Timur – Timur Laut. Arah arus dominan yang terjadi di kawasan Perairan Tanjung Jati B, Jepara adalah ke arah dominasi Timur- Timur Laut pada saat surut menuju pasang dan ke arah dominasi Barat-Barat Daya pada saat air pasang menuju surut. Detil pada karakteristik arus tiap layer pada tahun 2020 dengan 2021 tidak mengalami perubahan secara signifikan.

Hypnotic Metaphor аs a Discursive Mechanism of Speech Influence (a Case Study of Psychological Trainings by Natalia Grace)

The article deals with the concept of hypnotic metaphor in psychiatry and linguistics and explores its application in the situation of public teaching discourse. The right-hemisphere mechanisms of perception are considered in order to detect sensory images, represented in the universal object code, since the processes of mastering the facts, which are based on similarity, adjacency, imagery, take place in the right hemisphere. The connection of mirror neurons with metaphorical thinking is assumed. The classification of metaphor types in psychotherapeutic literature is given. The article analyzes the performance of modern speaker-coaches, given as lectures, trainings, conversations and designed to effectively change the emotional mood and categorical constructs of listeners. Otherwise, listeners simply will not buy tickets for these events. It is concluded that modern lecture trainings are a kind of group psychotherapy session. Information is fed in a ‘live stream’ of right-hemisphere mechanisms involving mirror neurons. Coach rhetoric is a system of metaphors that are archetypes of consciousness and are part of the basic layer of the conceptual framework.

A novel pooling layer based on gaussian function with wavelet transform

<p>Convolution represent basic layer in the convolutional neural network, but it<br />can result in big size of the data, which may increase the complexity of the<br />network. Different pooling methods are used to perform down sample these<br />data. In this paper, we have proposed a novel pooling method by using<br />Gaussian function to determine the wavelet filter coefficients . At first, the<br />basic statistics are determined for each pool size of the signal, then Gaussian<br />probability distribution function is determined . According to the procedure<br />of extracting the features , three methods are proposed , the first method is<br />used the normalized values of basic statistics as wavelet filter to be<br />multiplied by original signal, the second method used the determined<br />statistics as features of the original signal ,then multiplied it with constant<br />wavelet filter based on Gaussian ,while the third method is similar to first<br />method, except it depend on entire signal instead of each pool size. The<br />proposed methods are combined with other standard methods such as max<br />and pooling. The experiments are performed on different datasets , and the<br />results show that the proposed methods perform or outperform other<br />methods and can increase performance of the (CNN).</p>

Analyses of Time Experience in Melancholia on the Ground of Husserl’s Phenomenological Investigations

This paper examines under which conditions melancholic experiences of time (“Time has stopped, nothing happens”, “I cannot see the future”) are possible. In recent phenomenological research on melancholia, melancholic time experiences are analyzed as disturbances in affectivity. However, it is not always clear how the disturbance of time experience might be structurally interrelated with the disturbance in affectivity. This paper focuses on the interrelatedness of temporal synthesis and affectivity in Husserl’s phenomenology. Husserl’s analyses will be used to explain what role affectivity plays in the constitution of the normal daily world experience, and in particular the time experience. Further, it will be shown how a possibility of the disturbance in time experience is already rooted in the most basic layer of constitution.

Performance and testing of adhesive bandage tape

The adhesive plaster or bandage is used to cover non-serious wound or cut in the skin. It is formed by a basic layer of plain fabric coated with the adhesive material. There are several factors that affect the performance of the produced adhesive bandage. One of the frequent reported problems is the strong engagement with the skin that causes severe pain to the patient when it is removed from the skin. The peel test is used to determine the force required to remove the bandage from the skin, tissue or other adhesive tape. The aim of research is to study the factors that affect the performance of adhesive bandage—starting from the raw fabric used and some of the manufacturing machine settings (speed, slit knife height). An attachment was made to test the peeling force of adhesive tape on an ordinary tensile testing device. Results show that the storage of the adhesive bandage tape is the most significant factor that affects the mechanical properties of the adhesive tape.

“Byronic” Phraseological Units and Their Equivalents in the Armenian Translation

The article highlights one of the most typical features of G.G. Byron’s individual style, particularly, the use of a great variety of phraseological units in his works. The basic layer of Byron’s literary vocabulary includes phraseological units derived from the Bible and Greek mythology. The present article focuses on the problem of translatability of the so-called “Byronic” phraseological units in his narrative poem Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage. It is an acknowledged fact that Byron’s works are translated into numerous languages and the Armenian translations have their special place among them. The eminent Armenian writer H.Tumanyan succeeded in finding the best equivalents of “Byronic” phraseological units that not only sound convincing, truthful and colourful, but also very often enrich both the source and the target languages.

A Phenomenology of Creative Attention

This paper develops the concept of ‘creative attention’. Against classical theories that understand attention as a spotlight that brings objects into focus, I will argue that attention is a complex phenomenon structured in different layers. The most basic layer is perceptual, passive and pre-predicative: at this level, attention is creative – and this is the central claim of this paper – because it institutes meanings and rules for our behaviour

Case Report: Labial Veneer All Porcelain With Press Method For Improving Aesthetic On Patient With Central Diastema Case

Patients with central diastema disorders often feel shame and less of confident. The disorder can be repaired by a Labial veneer restoration. This restoration is an improvement in the form of a layer on the labial surface of the tooth selected because it gives satisfactory aesthetic results and maintains the tooth structure. At this time, the method of fabricating labial veneer all porcelain growing rapidly, such as making labial veneer all porcelain with base layer using press method like all porcelain E-max press. This paper aims to determine the stages and problem solving of the difficulties that arise in the procedure of fabricating labial veneer all porcelain with the basic layer of labial veneer using press method.
