Ética, Política y Religión en la sociedad postsecular en la obra de Adela Cortina
No full textTitle: Ethics, politics and religion in postsecular society in the work of Adela Cortina.
This research is divided into six chapters; In the first, Adela Cortina's option is analyzed in relation to post-secular thinking, referred to by her as pluralist thinking. She will start from her work God in Kant's transcendental philosophy, where she takes sides for the existence of God, whose existence can be justified from practical rationality. Here the perspective of Kant and of the new Frankfurters - Adorno and Horkheimer mainly - will be presented, that it would be irrational for evil and injustice to be the last word in human reality. This principle seeks to overcome the moral absurdity that implies that, in this world, the kind only receives injustice and pain. Next, the validity of religious ideas in the public sphere will be studied, emphasizing that religious ideas should not violate the dignity and rights of people. To avoid such affectation, there must be minimum standards based on justice, dialogically agreed upon and that everyone must obey. It delves into Adela Cortina's proposal to place religious voices on the same level of dialogue with other voices, since religious ideas in the public sphere have the same validity as secular ideas. It describes how Adela Cortina's philosophical proposal appears in the context of postmodernity where the great paradigms of modernity have collapsed, making it clear that scientism and pragmatism were not enough to legitimize moral or political norms; a fact that made it clear that religion can provide valid elements to guide morality and politics. Finally, we see how Adela Cortina conceives the contribution of Christianity to society, a contribution that consists of the idea of a God who loves man and who seeks his happiness, an idea that will facilitate the creation of a universal ecumenical spirituality. Chapter II specifically addresses Adela Cortina's fundamental proposal: civil ethics. The social context in which said ethics arises is analyzed, this being the plurality of ideas, customs, beliefs, etc., here Adela Cortina proposes the need for universalizable norms that arise from minimum agreed parameters. To contextualize civic ethics, reference is made to moral theory in general, describing what moral conscience is and how it arises; The neurosciences that Adela Cortina analyzes and shows its limitations are focused on. It becomes clear that ethics is a type of knowledge that tries to be rationally constructed based on conceptual rigor and the methods of analysis and explanations typical of philosophy. To describe the origin of civic ethics, the European social evolution described by Adela Cortina is analyzed, the evolution from the vassal to the subject and then to the citizen is mentioned; In this last stage, she analyzes the objection of our author to the passivity of the citizen and the need for the autonomy of the person to forge a moral society.Título: Ética, política y religión en la sociedad postsecular en la obra de AdelaCortina.
Esta investigación se divide en seis capítulos; En la primera, se analiza la opción de Adela Cortina en relación con el pensamiento postsecular, al que ella se refiere como pensamiento pluralista. Partirá de su obra Dios en la filosofía trascendental de Kant, donde toma partido por la existencia de Dios, cuya existencia puede justificarse desde la racionalidad práctica. Aquí se presentará la perspectiva de Kant y de los nuevos frankfurtianos -Adorno y Horkheimer principalmente-, de que sería irracional que el mal y la injusticia fueran la última palabra en la realidad humana. Este principio busca superar el absurdo moral que implica que, en este mundo, el tipo solo recibe injusticia y dolor. A continuación, se estudiará la validez de las ideas religiosas en la esfera pública, enfatizando que las ideas religiosas no deben violar la dignidad y los derechos de las personas. Para evitar tal afectación, debe haber estándares mínimos basados en la justicia, acordados dialógicamente y que todos deben obedecer. Profundiza en la propuesta de Adela Cortina de situar las voces religiosas en el mismo nivel de diálogo con otras voces, ya que las ideas religiosas en la esfera pública tienen la misma validez que las ideas seculares. Describe cómo la propuesta filosófica de Adela Cortina aparece en el contexto de la posmodernidad donde los grandes paradigmas de la modernidad se han derrumbado, dejando claro que el cientificismo y el pragmatismo no eran suficientes para legitimar las normas morales o políticas; un hecho que dejó claro que la religión puede proporcionar elementos válidos para guiar la moral y la política. Finalmente, vemos cómo Adela Cortina concibe la contribución del cristianismo a la sociedad, una contribución que consiste en la idea de un Dios que ama al hombre y que busca su felicidad, una idea que facilitará la creación de una espiritualidad ecuménica universal. El capítulo II aborda específicamente la propuesta fundamental de Adela Cortina: la ética civil. Se analiza el contexto social en el que surge dicha ética, siendo esta la pluralidad de ideas, costumbres, creencias, etc., aquí Adela Cortina propone la necesidad de normas universalizables que surjan de parámetros mínimos acordados. Para contextualizar la ética cívica, se hace referencia a la teoría moral en general, describiendo qué es la conciencia moral y cómo surge; Las neurociencias en las que Adela Cortina analiza y muestra sus limitaciones están enfocadas. Queda claro que la ética es un tipo de conocimiento que trata de construirse racionalmente a partir del rigor conceptual y de los métodos de análisis y explicaciones propios de la filosofía. Para describir el origen de la ética cívica, se analiza la evolución social europea descrita por Adela Cortina, se menciona la evolución del vasallo al sujeto y luego al ciudadano; En esta última etapa, analiza la objeción de nuestra autora a la pasividad del ciudadano y la necesidad de la autonomía de la persona para forjar una sociedad moral

The spectrum of liver presentation in wilson's disease: a literature review
No full textIntroduction. Wilson's disease represents one of the genetic diseases that has lifelong treatment, which significantly improved the quality of life for patients and reduced the disabling complications associated with the lack of an early diagnosis.
Material and methods. A structured search was performed in PubMed and HINARI, using English search terms: "Wilson's disease", "acute liver failure", "cirrhosis", "acute Wilsonian hepatitis", "hepatic manifestation", "chronic liver disease", "asymptomatic Wilson's disease", and "active chronic hepatitis".
Results. Wilson's disease can occur at any age and can mimic the presence of other chronic liver diseases. The hepatic expression is highly variable, ranging from asymptomatic presentation to severe liver diseases, such as decompensated cirrhosis and acute liver failure. Any patient with transaminitis and abnormal parameters of cooper metabolism should be comprehensively and carefully evaluated to identify Wilson's disease early and to prevent misdiagnosis or unnecessary therapies. Confirmation of the diagnosis should not exclude the co-existence of other liver diseases.
Conclusions. The use of validated and adapted scores for Wilson's disease may facilitate diagnosis, but they cannot be used in acute liver failure. Considering that WD presents itself with great phenotypic diversity and can evolve under the mask of other pathologies, it is necessary to carry out a careful differential diagnosis

LIVER FIBROSIS AND METHODS OF ASSESSMENT IN LIGHT OF CHRONIC HEPATITIS DELTA
No full textObjectives. Liver fibrosis is a wound healing response that causes accumulation of collagen and other extracellular proteins after an insult caused to liver or during a chronic liver disease. When left untreated, it may result in liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension, hepatic encephalopathy, liver failure, and an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma, which can ultimately cause organ failure and death.
Material and methods. Research articles from various sources were reviewed and a sum of different methods for non-invasive assessment liver assessment were picked to put forth a constructive composite review.
Results. Only two scores i.e., Baseline-event-anticipation score and Delta Fibrosis Score were found to show applicability in assessing liver fibrosis caused by chronic hepatitis delta virus infection, however, further studies are required.
Conclusion. Although a few non-invasive scoring methods, for assessment of liver fibrosis caused due to chronic hepatitis delta virus infection, have been put forth over the past few years, enough research and data collection is yet to be done for proper validation and use. Even though liver biopsy still remains the gold standard for assessing liver fibrosis, its invasive nature does not make it feasible for all patients

Heinrich Schaefer: Mein letztes Werk sei Gift! Der Roman "Gefangenschaft" und andere Texte
No full textPoco si sa della vita di Heinrich Schaefer, quell'autore del primo espressionismo tedesco la cui opera principale, il suo romanzo "Gefangenschaft" (Prigionia), scritto tra il 1911 e il 1913 e stampato nel 1918, non entrò mai in commercio ma circolò clandestinamente tra gli abbonati dell'ambiente berlinese. Il libro era stato annunciato insieme a opere chiave del modernismo come "Bebuquin" di Carl Einstein o "Opferung" di Franz Jung nella famosa serie "Aktionsbücher der Aeternisten", ma era l'unico volume non liberamente acquistabile. A quanto pare, è andato ben oltre ciò che era ragionevole per il pubblico, anche per gli standard espressionisti dell'epoca. Perché in esso, i pensieri abissali di un assassino sono inesorabilmente consegnati in una visione interna senza censure, non come una confessione che porta all'espiazione, ma in un atto di tremenda auto-esposizione, come una trascrizione senza moralità di tutto ciò che tormenta la mente e il corpo del narratore in prima persona. "Un libro rivoluzionario", fu il verdetto di Max Herrmann-Neiße. "Dire l'indicibile" era anche lo slogan del volume di Schaefer "Tre storie" (1918) con racconti e schizzi in prosa che oggi sono stati anche quasi completamente dimenticati e che, come il suo romanzo, sono ora da riscoprire come solitari della letteratura sperimentale in prima persona del modernismo.Little is known about the life of Heinrich Schaefer, that author of German early expressionism whose main work, his novel "Gefangenschaft," written from 1911 to 1913 and printed in 1918, never made it into bookstores but circulated clandestinely among subscribers in the Berlin milieu. The book had been announced together with key works of modernism such as Carl Einstein's "Bebuquin" or Franz Jung's "Opferung" in the famous series "Aktionsbücher der Aeternisten", but was the only volume not freely available for purchase. Apparently, it went far beyond what was reasonable for the public, even by expressionist standards at the time. For in it, the abysmal thoughts of a murderer are relentlessly delivered in an uncensored internal view, not as a confession leading to atonement, but in an act of tremendous self-exposure, as a morality-free transcript of everything that haunts the first-person narrator's mind and body. "A revolutionary book," was the verdict of Max Herrmann-Neisse. "Saying the unspeakable" was also the slogan of Schaefer's volume "Drei Erzählungen" (1918) with stories and prose sketches that today are also almost completely forgotten, and which, like his novel, are now to be rediscovered as solitaires of the experimental first-person literature of modernism
