The present paper focuses on a sensitive and challenging psychological problem, namely, the problem of children's socialization during the first years of life. How young children's social skills are produced, developed and structured, significantly influences the course of future personal development. Certainly, the time period in which generations are born and developed, significantly influences human psychology in action. A comparative perspective on generations provides a deeper understading of the dynamics of personal life, which spill over into the dynamics of social life. Beyond the data provided by researchers the challenges of present life sensitize us to the importance of being developing and manifesting our social skills at every stage of ontogenetic development.

There is a large number of scientific evidence on individual demographic and psychosocial predictors,correlated with drug use in performance sport.Using the method of metaanalysis, in this study we propose to determine: a)the size of the psychological effect (attitudes) and socio-cultura factors (social norms), as well as demographic factors (age,sex) that may explain the presence of consumption of prohibited substances among performance athletes; b)the delimitation of variables which may explain the size of these effects; c)correlation of the theory of planned behavior with the use of prohibited substances in performance sport. The results of the study revealed that the presence of a positive attitude towards the drug positively correlates with the intention to use the drug.The perceived selfefficiency in procuring these substances also correlates negatively with the intention of consumption.

This paper presents the difference between the socalled normal lying and pathological lying. Pathological lying is a fascinating topic, still lacking a professional consensus on etiology, treatment and prognosis. The paper explores some of the possible psychological mechanisms underlying pathological lying and considers the forensics significance of normal versus pathological lying. The relationship between pathological lying and mental disorders is also discussed. The paper suggests that lying should be considered as a heterogeneous and multidimensional behavioral model. The paper also highlights how important it is to assess the patient's control over the lie,the role attributted to lying, the acknowledgement and awareness of the lieby the patient, and the effect of the lie on their daily routine.

Thyroid abscess is a rare condition which should not be omitted by the clinicians because without an adequate diagnosis and management it may cause severe complications. This paper reports an 81-years old patient with a persistent cervical fistula secondary to a thyroid abscess (Staphylococcus aureus infection) which was solved through a total right thyroid lobectomy. The case is interesting due to the rarity and the management difficulties in the context of a rare benign thyroid disorder in an elderly patient with multiple comorbidities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Religion is both a source of peace and violence with important significance in the public sphere, because of the link with human aspirations for peace before the advent of secular movements and ideology. Thus religion has come to play a major role in international affairs, particularly in the modern trends especially when directed towards human problems, on the back of failed attempts to build a better world but without churches and to remove from the individual's existence their faith which means a formidable force the in world affairs. Religion is always a central actor in the war, be it Christianity, Islam, Judaism or Buddhism by revitalising moral values necessary for the war machine or the terrorist network. The emergence of the European Union raised the issue of its relations with the religious institutions; in the first decade of the existence of the European Communities religious issue was absent from their domestic agenda. With the increasing emphasis on European integration, it begins to develop interaction between EU and religious institutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Between religion and politics, in Britain are a number of sensitive issues; which is the border between religion and secularism, the use of Sharia questioning the legitimacy of the authorities, the transformation of religious identity by the sharp decrease of those who declare themselves Christian, the decline of traditional forms of religion, the projection conquered by the "new atheism". Religion and the Church can become, also, a nationalists instrument: through "national churches" or "country churches" it propagates revised policy, deforming Christian politics, hijacking its humanitarian spirit in ecclesiastical nationalist organisations with messianic character; through nationalism of the right and left, militarised to defend "the people", "the holy altar of the homeland", portraying an exclusive - Orthodox sacred vision of history. The new version of atheism implies a firm anti-religious attitude, eliminating institutional and political privileges enjoyed by religion, seeking to attract proselytes to radical fundamentalism and strong atheism. The new atheists do not promise a utopia without religion, but do not dare to claim that there will be no conflict with the disappearance of religions; is found a reductionist trend according to which the centrality of religions is generating conflicts, secular solution with shades of atheism being a possible solution.
