Nanomagnetic devices, such as nano-field effect transistor biosensors and radio frequency magnetic induction therapies, came into being with the development of medical nanomaterials. The application of nanomagnetic materials in the treatment of cancers is rapidly becoming increasingly important because of its ability to target therapy and diagnose early. In this review, an untechnical overview of the fundamental of magnetism in nanomaterials and an illustration of how these materials are applied are presented. The applications of nano-field effect transistor biosensors for the detection of tumor biomarker nanomaterials in the therapy and diagnosis of cancers and nanomagnetic materials are summarized in this paper. A systemic summary of the use of nanomagnetic materials and nano-filed effect transistor biosensors for the treatment and diagnosis of tumors is also provided in the review.

BackgroundDifferences between patients' and nurses' perceptions of good nursing might be one of the barriers to optimal nursing care that matches the preferences of patients. A better understanding of the attributes of Good Nursing Care across different settings, circumstances, and patient populations will provide an integrated idea about Good Nursing Care, which can contribute to nursing theory development and future research.PurposeThis study aimed to integrate the literature on patients' and nurses' perceptions of what constitutes Good Nursing Care and thereby identify the similarities and differences in patients' and nurses' perceptions of Good Nursing Care.MethodsA literature search of PubMed, CINAHL, and MEDLINE was conducted for article published between January 2000 and June 2017. A total of 18 studies were identified and assessed using the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool. The studies were analyzed and synthesized using Swanson's theory of caring as the theoretical framework.ResultsSome dissents and agreements were found between patients and nurses regarding the crucial attributes of Good Nursing Care. While “enabling,” such as providing information, coaching, and guidance, was more emphasized by patients, “being with” (being present at the bedside) was more emphasized by nurses. “Doing for,” especially expert performance and enhancing physical comfort, was the most frequently mentioned attribute of Good Nursing Care by both patients and nurses.Implications for PracticeTheoretical developments regarding Good Nursing Care—characterized by a balance between sufficient nursing knowledge and competent technical skills on one hand and patient empowerment based on trusting relationships on the other hand—would promote the provision of Good Nursing Care in clinical practice.

In this study, the researcher has mentioned the writers and their major works in Elizabethan age (1558-1603). The researcher has mentioned almost nineteen writers and their famous works. By reading this research paper, any general reader can easily understand that who are the major writers of the age and what are their famous works. The language and method of presenting the data are very easy. The researcher also has mentioned the major contributions of this era’s writers. As we know that University Wits also fall in this era, thus the researcher has mentioned them and their works too. S. Dutta (2014) declared that The University Wits is a phrase used to title a group of late 16th-century English pamphleteers and playwrights who were studied at the universities Cambridge and Oxford. They appeared famous worldly writers. This era has reminisced for its richness of drama and poetry. This era ended in 1603. Elizabeth turns out to be one of the greatest prominent royals in English history, mainly after 1588, when the English beat the Spanish Armada which had been sent by Spain to reestablish Catholicism and defeat England. All the way through the Elizabethan age, English literature has changed from a shell into a delightful being with imagination, creativeness, and boundless stories. It was not about mystery or miracle plays and the poetry was not nearby religion and the principles addressed in the Church.

This article describes how the happenstance discovery of my mother’s 1950s Windrush Generation suitcase, led to a devised cathartic ritual theatre performance and a reimagining of my past future present. Acknowledging the suitcase as a heritage object, I hoped to safely locate myself with inter- and transgenerational trauma, and dialogues about racism in relation to the Transatlantic Slave Trade. First and foremost, this work is informed by Dramatherapy. It also holds in mind the research of Jungian analyst, Brewster, on ‘archetypal grief’, and the socio-political activism of Sharpe’s, ‘wake-work’. Its conclusion is twofold: First, that with the use of the suitcase within ritual theatre performance, alongside the devised metaphoric story and character of Black, I was able to accrue a significant means of resilience to meet with effects of racism worthy of further investigation. Second, that the performance provided a deepened dialectic and cathartic experience between performer and audience above and beyond cerebral language. Three stand-alone performances of ‘Being With Black’ took place at the British Association of Dramatherapists Conference at the University of Chester in September 2018, and later at the University of Roehampton, London in February and March 2019.

Despite a growing amount of literature on aging and sexual activity, there are still a limited number of studies that capture older people's understanding of sexuality in later life. This study explored the meanings that older people ascribe to sexual activity and how these meanings relate to the continuation, the decline, and the complete cessation of sexual activity. Thirty in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with Czechs aged 50-75 years (13 men) who were recruited through a preventive cognitive health program offered at a hospital. The analysis was carried out with a grounded theory approach and the principles of consensual qualitative research. The study identified three dominant understandings of sexual activity in later life that emerged as a reflection of the aging process. The first was sexual activity within a relationship that represented proof of being with someone and where sexual inactivity was linked to the threat of loneliness. The second concerned sexual pleasure and its continuity in later life, while its loss gave room for affliction and the emergence of ageist beliefs. The third linked sexual activity with the connotations of self-identifying as young versus being self-perceived as really old. The study findings suggest that the understanding of sexual activity in later life is ambivalent. Its continuity is viewed as an instrument for mitigating the markers of getting old, while the threat of its decline may activate older people's desire for asexual aging and negative views on aging.

In un mondo che sembra non essere in grado di costruire relazioni solide e autentiche, l'identità del singolo stenta a trovare spazio per esistere, esprimersi e fiorire. Davanti a un "esserci" fortemente limitato, che trova soddisfazione in un'estrema celebrazione di sé, "essere con" l'altro ed "esserci per" l'altro si configurano come esperienze difficilmente sperimentabili. Ritrovare, attraverso la mindfulness, la consapevolezza di sé nel momento presente, costituisce una risorsa dal valore pregevole. Vivere consapevolmente nel "qui ed ora" consente di ascoltarsi, prima di rivolgere l'ascolto verso l'altro; permette di coltivare il proprio esserci" che rende possibile l'"esserci per" l'altro, in un incontro autentico e privo di giudizio. Ciò vale in particolar modo quando l'interlocutore appare bisognoso di presenza e di cura, ad ogni grado, da parte di caregiver professionali e, frequentemente, familiari.

Many jurisdictions with legal forms of assisted dying require that written requests be witnessed by independent witnesses. In Canada, a unique program of volunteers was founded to make such witnesses available. A total of 106 volunteers completed a questionnaire about their experiences, challenges, and perspectives; 24 were also interviewed. Although the witnesses felt well prepared for their roles, they encountered challenges including role uncertainty, communication difficulties, and the emotional impacts of being with suffering patients and their grieving families. Most felt that the requirement for independent witnesses is an intrusive and unnecessary barrier to accessing medical assistance in dying.

There are several kinds of loneliness: assumed, forcible, imposed, morbid, or “collective”. Loneliness may be creative, or empty; there is even loneliness with nothing at stake, as there is meaningful loneliness, and vulgar loneliness. All seem to share something – the ordeal of being with oneself, the fear that one will not be able to bear it in the end. In Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, loneliness becomes the protagonist’s tutor, he lives with loneliness and survives. In The History of Hayy Ibn Yaqzan, the Andalusian novelist and philosopher Abu Bakr Ibn Tufail shows how reason can develop independently of the influence exerted by society. The two writers introduce two types of Robinsons, such as the medieval Hayy ibn Yaqzan, in the philosophical novel of the 11th century, the self-taught philosopher of the Grenadian Ibn Tufayl and the modern European Robinson Crusoe, as Daniel Defoe shows him in his renowned 18th century novel. The two protagonists present two completely different attitudes to society, the world, thought and God: attitudes that, being characteristic of the historical moment of each one, mark, at the same time, two dimensions of the human being.

On-farm trials were conducted for the evaluation of IPM modules in cotton against the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) by the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bathinda and Mansa at five locations during 201718 and 2018-19. The modules included neem-based insecticides along with detergent powder, darek (Melia azedarach L.) extract and the University recommended insecticides compared with that of farmers’ practice of mixing of non-recommended insecticides. The data revealed significantly maximum reduction (80.0- 85.1% and 80.9- 85.4%) in the incidence of adults compared to the University recommended practice (Mj) at Bathinda and Mansa, respectively. This was followed by module (Mj) comprising use of home-made darek extract (54.4 to 63.3% at Bathinda and 58.0 to 72.5% at Mansa). Module (M3) comprising of addition of detergent powder in neem-based spray solution remained on a par with M with 55.8 to 62.7 and 57.4 to 71.9% reduction in incidence over untreated check. Farmers’ practice of spraying non-recommended insecticides resulted in minimum reduction in incidence (16.7 to 23.1% and 23.6 to 36.3%, at Bathinda and Mansa, respectively). The trend in yield was similar to the above, with maximum being in M4 followed by Mj and M3 with the least yield being with the module comprising of use of non-recommended sprays by the farmers. Maximum number of spray applications (5-6) were given in M4 (farmer’s practice). Maximum and minimum B: C ratio was obtained with the modules M4 (1.3 to 1.5) and M4 (0.8 to 1.2), respectively.

espanolEscribir sobre Toribio Pacheco es con certeza describir una de las raices del Derecho peruano y a su vez, una maravillosa forma de rememorar aspectos historicos de la vida del Peru; percibir lo dantesco del legado de quien apenas cifraba los 40 anos, emprendio su travesia al campo celestial. Senalar que fue un ilustre jurista, destacado diplomatico, politico e insigne periodista es insuficiente; pues, el amor por su patria y la impetuosa lucha por el progreso de nuestro pais, asi como la insaciable y la continua aspiracion por el conocimiento devino en la constitucion de un ser con una cultura superior, la cual penosamente fue poco apreciada en su epoca e incluso en los tiempos actuales y que en estas lineas, buscamos con admiracion reconocerlo. EnglishWriting about Toribio Pacheco is certainly describing one of the roots of Peruvian law and, in turn, a wonderful way to recall historical aspects of the life of Peru; perceiving the Dantesque legacy of those who barely encrypted their 40s, undertook their journey to the celestial field. To point out that he was an illustrious jurist, prominent diplomat, politician and distinguished journalist is insufficient; therefore, the love for his homeland and the impetuous struggle for the progress of our country, as well as the insatiable and continuous aspiration for knowledge became the constitution of a being with a superior culture, which was hardly appreciated in his time and even in the present times and that in these lines, we look with admiration to recognize it.

Neste trabalho, tematizamos a formação de professores ao estar-com[1] a Investigação Matemática no âmbito de um grupo de formação e nos interessamos, enquanto foco da pesquisa, pelos aspectos que se revelaram significativos ao processo de constituir-se professor neste contexto. De uma postura qualitativa, procedendo de acordo com os pressupostos da pesquisa fenomenológica e hermenêutica interrogamos: quais aspectos se revelaram significativos no processo de constituir-se professor ao estar-com a Investigação Matemática no contexto de um grupo de formação? Articulados em dois grupos de ideias, os dados nos permitem inferir que a experiência e a relação eu-outro se mostraram aspectos relevantes à formação. A experiência entendida como o encontro do ser com algo que experimenta, o eu concebido como o individual autêntico dos sujeitos e o outro concebido como o colega, o professor coordenador, a literatura, o mundo. Afirmamos, portanto, que o processo de constituir-se professor investigador ocorreu na experiência produzida por relações interpessoais, na esfera subjetiva do eu e intersubjetiva do outro, sendo dependente do modo que o sujeito a ele se dirigiu e o percebeu, bem como do sentido que atribuiu ao percebido.[1] Termo ligado à concepção heideggeriana que significa estar junto a, ao existir no mundo e diz da abertura do modo de ser para outros entes (BICUDO, 2009).

The body is central to the experience of aging. In this metasynthesis, the authors located, analyzed, and reconceptualized phenomenological research on how life is experienced within and through the body after 85 years. Sandelowski and Barroso’s metasynthesis method was employed. Seven databases were searched for primary phenomenological studies. After systematic screening and quality appraisal, 19 studies were included for review. Analysis was guided by Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s existential philosophy of embodiment. Findings were organized using Max van Manen’s reflective lifeworld existentials. Four ontological dimensions emerged, namely, being in a body (corporeality), being in time (temporality), being in place (spatiality), and being with others (relationality). Each dimension captures a distinct experiential dimension of this stage of the life course. The results suggest vast heterogeneity in the ontological experience of aging, supporting the view that diversity grows with age. The ability to adapt to multidimensional losses was identified as a source of resilience.

Human beings are social animals. A solitary life would be horrible for most of us. What makes life worthwhile is being with others and engaging in shared projects with them. To do justice to these facts, philosophers need to pay more attention to the first-person plural, we/us, and to rethink their accounts of value and virtue.

Among the one-word fragments from unknown plays of Sophocles, fr. inc. 1111 R. (φίλανδρον) has been treated as one of the more straightforward. It derives from a passage in Hermogenes of Tarsos’ treatise Περὶ Ἰδεῶν (late second century c.e.), which includes the Sophoclean adjective, its referent and a brief gloss: … ὁ Σοφοκλῆς … φίλανδρόν που τὴν Ἀταλάντην εἶπε διὰ τὸ ἀσπάζεσθαι σὺν ἀνδράσιν εἶναι (‘… Sophocles called Atalante philandros somewhere because she enjoyed being with men’). Brunck assigned the fragment to Sophocles’ tragic Meleagros; most subsequent editors have edited the fragment as sedis incertae while commenting favourably on Brunck's ascription. This suggestion has also found support beyond Sophoclean scholarship, and, to my knowledge, no alternative has been brought forward. While the ascription of the fragment to the Meleagros is prima facie not implausible, I shall argue that a thorough analysis of the difficult passage in Hermogenes calls for a revision of the current lexicographical accounts of the word φίλανδρος—as well as φιλανδρία—and suggests that fr. 1111 may in fact originate in a satyr-play.

Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic led to school closures, cancellations of major events, and loss of in-person social interactions for children and youth. These restrictions undoubtedly impacted the lives of children and youth. This study describes the well-being of children and youth in Nova Scotia during the COVID-19 pandemic and their thoughts and feelings about the return to school, from the perspectives of both youth and parents.Methods: A province-wide survey was conducted in August 2020 with parents of school-age children and youth and youth to measure youth well-being since the pandemic began.Results: Parents of children and youth in grades pre-primary to 12 (n = 699; 53% girls) and youth in grades 3–12 (n = 279; 69% girls) completed the online survey. Perceptions of parents about children's emotions during the pandemic were: bored, safe, lonely, happy, and anxious. Youth reported feeling bored, relaxed, depressed, safe, and worried. Sixty-three percent of youth and 72% of parents reported that they/their child felt they were missing important life events. Parents reported that being with parents, being physically active and being with friends made their child feel positive. Youth reported that being with friends, pets and watching TV made them feel good during this time. Seventy-six percent of parents and 62% of youth reported they/their child were getting more screen time than before the pandemic. With schools closed, participants most frequently shared that they missed friends and social interactions, in-person learning, and extra-curricular activities. Youth and parents expressed worries about COVID-19 outbreaks and related restrictions when schools re-opened to in-person learning.Conclusion: The well-being of children and youth in Nova Scotia was greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and related school closures in 2020. It is essential that pandemic recovery plans prioritize the health and well-being of children and youth.

The development of biotechnology in the field of GMOs requires states to take specific decisions to regulate the spread of genetically modified crops. In the European Union all GM crops that circulation are subject to mandatory registration, which regulates the placing on the market and circulation of genetically modified raw materials, food and feed. The article presents systematized data about the registration of genetically modified soybean, maize and rapeseed in the European Union. It was established that most of the GM crops have introduced genes that give them tolerance to herbicides of different groups. The register of the European Union currently includes 12 events of soybean (GTS 40-3-2, A2704-12, Mon 89788, MON87705, DP 356043, A5547-127, FG 72, SYHTOH 2, DAS-44406-6, DAS-68416- 4, Mon 87708, BPS-CV127-9), 5 events of maize (MZHG0JG, DAS-40278-9, GA 21, NK 603, T 25), 3 events of rapeseed (GT 73, T45, TOPAS 19/2) with tolerance to herbicides. It has been shown that a significant number of registered GM plants have a combination of several events, including tolerance to herbicides and resistance to certain insects or improving quality features of crops. Among them are one event of soybean (DP305423-1), 9 events of maize (TC 1507, DP 4114-3, MON 87411-9, MON 87427, MON 88017, DAS59122-7, Bt 176, Bt 11, DAS 1507) and one event of rapeseed (MS8xRF3). Many GM crops (one event of soybean and 6 events of maize) have introduced genes that determine the plant's tolerance to insects. Only a tiny amount of GM crops are being with altered consumer or technological qualities. In the register of genetically modified crops, all events of GM crops are currently authorized for usage for food, supplements, feed and other product. А single event of maize (Mon 810), that was allowed for cultivation at the time of this analysis was at the stage of renewal of the permit.

Language emanates from the individual who articulates from a coding system, whether oral or written, a construct of relational and communicative devices that determines who they are and what they would like to be. The concept of Being or ‘to be’, foregrounds a diverse range of definitions and extrapolations into the attributes of individuals, individuality, communities, and societies. The aim of the chapter is to unravel issues in the theorising of the concept of Being and its relationship to Indigenous Knowledge Systems for research students, through a teaching framework. A further aim is to explore the correlation of Being and Indigenous Knowledge Systems with the changing face of research relationships in a contemporary global setting. I shall, firstly, draw on relevant conceptualisations of what is Being under a Western framework. I, then, problematise this concept through Indigenous Knowledge Systems with a review of the literature on the issues surrounding its use. In the third part of this chapter, I focus on the changing face of research relationships by exploring the alignment of Being with the principles of Indigenous Knowledge Systems and their connectivity within a global framework. In this way, I foreground a significance of differentials and a re-imaging of thought and perception in the way research into Indigenous and Aboriginal societies is positioned.

We describe a case of an elderly patient suffering from advanced dementia (Mrs. M) whose chronic confusion has become a source of frustration for her caregivers. Mrs. M experiences a touching interaction with a new nurse (Nathan) who takes a different approach with her. We describe this interaction and elaborate upon it by drawing from Catholic social teaching and the philosophy of play. Cases like these do not involve dramatic or esoteric ethical problematics, but rather the sort of dilemma born of the everyday tragedies of lingering illness, aging and caretakers’ fatigue. Nathan’s approach offers a different way of seeing and being with the wearisome patient.

Mongolians have long known of the association between marmots and the plague. We examine their understanding of the marmot not only as a biological species that can harbour the plague, but also from a cosmological perspective as a chimerical being with potential punishment on hunters who have transgressed ancient taboos. To do so we deconstruct the multiple image of the chimerical marmot in legends, stories, and beliefs. Many Mongolians believe that if the marmot is over-exploited and the population decimated through excessive hunting, hunting households may be punished with infections of the plague.

As the largest royal garden, “three hills and five gardens” is a masterpiece in the history of world gardening. With important information of Beijing’s history and culture, it is a three-dimensional historical book describing history and culture in the form of garden. Based on the literature, the cultural elements are condensed and the elemental pedigree chart of spatio-temporal database of “three hills and five gardens” came into being with reference to the idea of knowledge map and rich cultural elements. The aim of this research is to excavate the historical and cultural connotation of “three hills and five gardens”, relying on information technology, taking the history and culture of “three hill and five gardens” as the theme, taking cultural pedigree as the core. Therefore, the spatial and temporal database of history and culture of “three hills and five gardens” has been constructed to provide support for the heritage and application of history and culture in order to serve for the research platform of “three hills and five gardens”.

In Cuban novelist José Manuel Prieto’s ‘Russian Trilogy’, and in particular, in the novel Livadia/Nocturnal Butterflies of the Russian Empire (1997), the experience of crossing borders and the reflection on how to pass safely, and often secretly, is vital. The geographical borders that take center stage are those of the former Soviet Union of the 1990s and adjacent Northern and Eastern countries as well as the Black Sea. In a first step, this essay examines the portrayals of changing borders, changing concepts of the border as well as the protagonist’s main strategies of border-crossing in the novel. In a second step, it explores the impact of a seemingly lighthearted metaphor, that of the butterfly and in particular its wings, to elucidate what I see as Prieto’s protagonist’s innovative approach of reacting to the experience of the border and his previous hyper-individualist attitudes when facing it. This experience is intrinsically linked to the role of writing and reading. Both hold a transcending potential for the narrator, as it is through acts of reading and reiterated attempts at writing that he begins to engage in a process of care for himself and others and devise transformative forms of being with others, even virtually, when a spatial or temporal separation prevents real encounters. His pondering on his previous restless crisscrossing of national confines may thus help, in the most fortunate moments, transcend spatial and conceptual confines and broaden what he calls the notion of an “imaginación aduanal.”

This article aims at analyzing family relationships of binational couples during the pandemic.Due to the border closure measures imposed by the States to minimize the spread ofCOVID-19, several families composed of people of different nationalities were deprived of47 DOI: https://doi.org/10.46901/revistadadpu.i15.p47-6648 ESCOLA NACIONAL DA DEFENSORIA PÚBLICA DA UNIÃOfamily life, especially couples without formal ties. This study adopted a legal-sociologicalmethodology. The juridical-sociological methodology used consists of an analysis of thebibliography and of a study of the laws relating to the theme in force in some countries.The study traces a broaden concept of family based on affection and confronts the marketaspect attributed to human relations, based on the globalizing and capitalist bias. The currentfear of death experienced by the population due to the volatile nature of the transmissionof coronavirus have been making people rethinking their family relationships not by theperspective of consumptiveness, but by affection. Being with family promotes emotionalstability, since the family environment becomes a locus of security. However, State policiesimpede the coexistence of these families, generating existential damage. Este artigo objetiva analisar as relações familiares entre os binacionais em tempo de pandemia.Em razão das medidas de fechamento das fronteiras impostas pelos Estados a fim deminimizar a propagação do Covid-19, diversas famílias compostas por pessoas de nacionalidades distintas, sobretudo por não possuírem vínculos formais, ficaram privadas do convívio familiar. Esse estudo adotou a vertente metodológica jurídico-sociológica. Utiliza-se a técnica teórica por meio de análise de conteúdo bibliográfico, estudos às legislações de alguns países que tratam sobre o tema. Traça-se um conceito de aberto de família a partir do eixo afetivo, inclusive de alguns países ocidentais, bem como se confronta com o aspecto mercadológico que as relações humanas são consideradas sob o viés globalizante e do capital. Contudo, considerando o atual momento vivenciado, em que o medo da morte assola parte da população, em decorrência da volatilidade na transmissão dos vírus, o ser humano tem repensado sobre suas relações familiares, não pelo aspecto da consuntibilidade, mas sim pela afetividade. Estar com a família promove estabilidade emocional, pois o ambiente familiar se torna lócus de segurança; porém, as políticas Estatais tolhem o convívio dessas famílias gerando danos existenciais.

RESUMO Objetivo: Refletir a enfermagem sob um olhar existencialista, em que o “estar-com” tem se mostrado como o melhor cuidado no mundo com Covid-19. Metodo: Estudo teorico reflexivo sobre a enfermagem no contexto de pandemia, sob referencial teorico filosofico existencialista. Resultados: A enfermagem passa a ser percebida pela sociedade como profissao cujas praticas estao para alem das condicoes clinicas que acometem os individuos que convivem com esta pandemia, pois cuidar do outro nao e somente imprimir acoes tecnicas, mas fundamentalmente sensiveis, como “estar com” de forma presente e autentica. Consideracoes finais: A pandemia provocou mudancas na maneira do ser humano relacionar-se no mundo, ocasionando a reflexao sobre seus valores pelas restricoes que impos. Neste cenario, a enfermagem torna-se visivel, sendo protagonista nos diferentes espacos de cuidado, pois o foco da sua pratica e o cuidado existencial, que se estabelece atraves das relacoes em encontros entre seres, possibilitando, assim, o “estar com”. Palavras-chave: Enfermagem. Existencialismo. Infeccoes por coronavirus.

Background and AimPostpartum-specific obsessions and compulsions are common in postpartum women, but validated measures to comprehensively assess such symptoms are few. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties of a self-report version of the Parental Thoughts and Behaviors Checklist (PTBC) that assesses postpartum-specific intrusive thoughts, associated behaviors, and their overall severity and interference.MethodsThe PTBC, along with measures of general obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depression, anxiety, parental stress and quality of life, were administered via an online survey platform to 488 women who had given birth during the last year.FindingsScores on the PTBC subscales showed good to excellent internal consistency and correlated in the expected direction with the other measures in the study, with the strongest correlations being with OCD and anxiety. Scores on the PTBC also discriminated between women with and without a self-reported history of OCD. Finally, exploratory factor analyses yielded nine thematic factors related to obsessions and compulsions (e.g., fear of suffocation/checking, hurting baby accidentally, forbidden sexual thoughts about baby) which largely corresponded to the themes identified by the developers of the interview-based version of the PTBC. ConclusionThis self-report version of the PTBC was found to possess good psychometric properties and to have a factor structure that largely overlapped with the structure of the interview-based version. Further evaluation of this version is needed, but the measure holds promise as a tool that may aid in the assessment of postpartum OCD that can be used in primary care and in psychiatric settings.

O presente artigo é um estudo embasado na análise bibliográfica e tem por objetivo discutir um dos principais fundamentos da teoria psicanalítica freudiana: a sexualidade infantil. No início do século XX Freud causa impacto ao apresentar a criança como um ser dotado de sexualidade e ao apontar a importância da sexualidade para a constituição do sujeito. Freud amplia o conceito de sexualidade, afirmando que a mesma é inerente ao sujeito. A partir de tal perspectiva o termo sexualidade necessita ser diferenciado da noção de genitalidade, comumente empregada ao termo. Na concepção freudiana a sexualidade infantil é caracterizada como perverso-polimorfa e autoerótica. Freud afirma também que a criança é bissexual. Ao longo do artigo são também discutidos os conceitos de complexo de Édipo e amnésia infantil na visão freudiana, bem como a necessidade e a importância do esclarecimento sexual para as crianças.

PURPOSE: To examine whether the implementation of Affordable Care Act (ACA) reduced the financial burden associated with cancer care among non-elderly cancer survivors. METHODS: Using data from the MEPS-Experiences with Cancer Survivorship Survey, we examined whether there was a difference in financial burden associated with cancer care between 2011 (pre-ACA) and 2016 (post-ACA). Two aspects of financial burden were considered: (1) self-reported financial burden, whether having financial difficulties associated with cancer care and (2) high-burden spending, whether total out-of-pocket (OOP) spending incurred in excess of 10% or 20% of family income. Generalized linear regression models were estimated to adjust the OOP expenditures (reported in 2016 US dollar). RESULTS: Our sample included adults aged 18–64 with a confirmed diagnosis of any cancer in 2011 (n = 655) and in 2016 (n = 490). There was no apparent difference in the prevalence of cancer survivors reporting any financial hardship or being with high-burden spending between 2011 and 2016. The mean OOP decreased by $268 (95% CI, − 384 to − 152) after the ACA. However, we found that the mean premium payments increased by $421 (95% CI, 149 to 692) in the same period. CONCLUSIONS: The ACAwas associated with reduced OOP for health services but increased premium contributions, resulting in no significant impact on perceived financial burden among non-elderly cancer survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: The financial hardship of cancer survivorship points to the need for the development of provisions that help cancer patients reduce both perceived and materialized burden of cancer care under ongoing health reform.

What would be the social consequences of rendering three-dimensional (3D) sound in a pre-recorded live concert video? Although previous studies demonstrate that the rendering of 3D sound in a pre-recorded live concert may foster a sense of presence, whether and how 3D sound will affect audience's experiences beyond the reporting of a sense of presence has yet to be elucidated. To further investigate the socio-psychological impact of 3D sound in a pre-recorded live concert content, a 2 × 2 mixed design experiment (N = 44), having sound as a within factor (2D vs. 3D) and visualization display mode as a between factor (monoscopic TV vs. stereoscopic VR), was conducted. Drawing from the social presence theory and related work, we specifically investigated whether 3D sound in a pre-recorded live concert content, rendered either through a monoscopic TV screen or a stereoscopic VR device, will contribute to enhancing audience's sense of being with a performer (i.e., social presence), and whether this will subsequently influence audience's psychological engagement with the performer (i.e., parasocial interaction), enjoyment as need satisfaction, and intent of financial supportive action towards the performer. Results showed that 3D sound enhanced a sense of social presence, and this, in turn, positively influenced parasocial interaction and enjoyment. In addition, parasocial interaction, fostered by social presence, positively affected audience's intent of financial supportive action. Further implications of the findings with respect to the role of 3D sound in a pre-recorded live concert content, rendered through a VR technology, are discussed.

The study was conducted to investigate the moral value structures of 61- 72 months old indigent children continuing their education in preschool institutions, according to some variables related to the institution. These variables are considered as; the duration of stay in the institution, permission to visit the family, visitation by their relatives, being with or being separated with their siblings, and protective factors all are taken into consideration. In the research, “General Information Form (about children in need of protection)” and “Moral Value Structure Determination Scale” were used. The universe of the study consists of 61-72 months old children in need of protection in the Children's Homes in Ankara in the 2015-2016 academic year. The study group of the research included all 61-72 months children in need of protection living in Children's Homes in Ankara (N = 48). In the analysis of the data; gender, being allowed to visit their families, being visited by their relatives, being with their siblings / being separated with their siblings variables will be compared via Mann Whitney U test . Kruskal Wallis test was used to compare the number of siblings, reason of stay and duration of stay in the institution. According to the results of the study, the scores the children obtained from Moral Value Structure Determination indicate that there was no significant difference between the variables of being allowed to visit their families and the reason for being under protection. (p> 0.05). It was concluded that there was a significant difference in terms of the variables of duration of stay in the institution, being with or being separated from siblings and visitation by relatives (p

In this second article about work at a refugee centre for unaccompanied minors in Berlin, the author discusses his encounter with Syrian and Afghani adolescents who were enrolled in the program. Issues around adaptation to a new culture are explored with attention to the dynamics of conformity and marginalization. The questions of what happens to adolescent refugees separated from their families, and how their identity formation is shaped by this burden is explored in relation to the author's meeting with a Syrian adolescent living in Berlin. To illustrate the long reach of a missing father who has been left behind, characters from Virgil's Aeneid are discussed to amplify heroic and spiritual aspects within father-son relationships. The interplay between needing help and allowing for resilience is explored as an important aspect of refugees' transitions, while also considering variables such as dependence and independence, foreign and familiar, being with or without family, and adjusting to the present and/whilst relating to the past; tensions between these alternatives can create various psychosocial challenges for adolescent refugees.Dans ce deuxième article sur le travail dans un centre pour réfugiés mineurs et non-accompagnés à Berlin, l’auteur évoque sa rencontre avec les adolescents Syriens et Afghans qui suivent le programme de ce centre. Les problèmes dus à l’adaptation à une nouvelle culture sont examinés, en prêtant une attention particulière aux dynamiques liées à la conformité et la marginalisation. La question de ce qui arrive aux réfugiés adolescents séparés de leurs familles, et de comment la formation de leur identité est façonnée par ce fardeau, sont examinées en s’appuyant sur la rencontre de l’auteur avec un adolescent Syrien vivant à Berlin. Pour illustrer la portée d’un père absent et qui a été laissé en arrière, des personnages de l’Enéide de Virgile sont discutés afin d’amplifier les aspects héroïques et spirituels des relations père-fils. L’interaction entre avoir besoin d’aide et donner de la place à la résilience est étudiée comme un aspect important des transitions des réfugiés. En même temps d’autres variables sont également prises en compte: la dépendance et l’indépendance, l’étranger et le familier, être avec sa famille ou sans famille, ainsi que l’ajustement au présent tout en restant en contact avec le passé. Les tensions entre ces alternatives peuvent créer divers défis sociologiques et psychologiques pour les réfugiés adolescents.In diesem zweiten Artikel über die Arbeit in einem Flüchtlingszentrums für unbegleitete Minderjährige in Berlin berichtet der Autor über seine Erfahrungen mit syrischen und afghanischen Jugendlichen, die an dem Programm teilnehmen. Fragen bezüglich der Anpassung an eine neue Kultur werden unter Beachtung der Dynamiken von Konformität und Marginalisierung untersucht. Die Frage, was mit jugendlichen Flüchtlingen, die von ihren Familien getrennt wurden und wie ihre Identitätsbildung durch diese Belastung geformt wird, wird im Zusammenhang mit dem Treffen des Autors mit einem in Berlin lebenden syrischen Jugendlichen untersucht. Um die Reichweite eines vermißten Vaters zu veranschaulichen, der zurückgelassen wurde, werden Figuren aus Virgils Aeneid besprochen, um heldenhafte und spirituelle Aspekte in den Vater-Sohn-Beziehungen zu verstärken. Das Wechselspiel zwischen Hilfebedürftigkeit und Resilienz wird als ein wichtiger Aspekt der Übergangssituation von Flüchtlingen untersucht, wobei auch Variablen wie Abhängigkeit und Unabhängigkeit, Fremdes und Bekanntes, mit oder ohne Familie sein und Anpassung an die Gegenwart und/während man auf die Vergangenheit bezogen ist berücksichtigt werden. Spannungen zwischen diesen Alternativen können für jugendliche Flüchtlinge zu verschiedenen psychosozialen Herausforderungen führen.In questo secondo articolo sul lavoro presso un centro per minori rifugiati non accompagnati a Berlino, l’Autore riflette sul suo incontro con adolescenti siriani ed afgani che facevano parte del programma. Vengono esplorati i temi dell’adattamento ad una nuova cultura, con particolare attenzione alle dinamiche di conformità e marginalizzazione. Viene analizzato cosa accade agli adolescenti rifugiati, separati dalle proprie famiglie, e si considera in particolare come la formazione della loro identità sia delineata da questo fardello, attraverso l’incontro dell’Autore con un adolescente siriano che vive a Berlino. Per illustrare la lunga ricerca del padre perduto, che era stato lasciato indietro, vengono analizzati i personaggi dell’Eneide di Virgilio per amplificare gli aspetti eroici e spirituali all’interno delle relazioni padre-figlio. Viene analizzato il gioco tra il bisogno di aiuto ed il favorire la resilienza come un aspetto importante dei transiti dei rifugiati, mentre vengono anche considerate variabili come la dipendenza e l’indipendenza, lo straniero ed il familiare, l’essere con o senza famiglia e l’adeguarsi al presente, nonostante la relazione con il passato; viene considerato, inoltre, che le tensioni tra queste alternative possono rappresentare sfide psicosociali per gli adolescenti rifugiati.Во второй публикации, посвященной работе Берлинского центра беженцев с несовершеннолетними детьми, которые остались без сопровождающих взрослых, автор рассказывает о своей встрече с участвовавшими в программе сирийскими и афганскими подростками. Исследуются темы, связанные с адаптацией к новой культуре, особое внимание уделяется динамике конформизма и маргинализации. Рассмотрены вопросы: что происходит с подростками - беженцами, разлученными с их семьями, как эта проблема влияет на формирование их идентичности. Чтобы проиллюстрировать долгий путь к пропавшему отцу, который был покинут, рассмотрены герои Энеид Виргилия. С их помощью амплифицированы героические и духовные аспекты отношений отец - сын. Взаимодействие между нуждаемостью, потребностью в помощи и собственной гибкостью и устойчивостью исследовано как ключевой аспект в переходном периоде у беженцев. Также учтены такие переменные как зависимость и независимость, чужой и знакомый, быть с семьей и без семьи, приспособиться к настоящему и оставаться на связи с прошлым. Напряжение между этими альтернативами может стать настоящим вызовом для подростков-беженцев.En este segundo artículo sobre el trabajo en un centro de refugiados para menores no acompañados en Berlín, el autor discute su encuentro con adolescentes Sirios y Afganos enrolados en el programa. Se exploran temas vinculados a la adaptación a una nueva cultura con especial atención a las dinámicas de conformidad y marginalización. Las preguntas acerca de lo que sucede a los adolescentes refugiados separados de sus familias, y cómo la formación de su identidad es determinada por este peso, son exploradas a partir del encuentro del autor con un adolescente Sirio viviendo en Berlín. Para ilustrar el largo alcance del padre perdido quien ha sido dejado atrás, se presentan caracteres de La Eneida de Virgilio, para amplificar aspectos espirituales y heroicos, dentro de la relación padre-hijo. Se explora el inter juego entre la necesidad de ayuda y el permitir la resiliencia, como un aspecto importante en las transiciones del refugiado, considerando al mismo tiempo variables como dependencia e independencia, extranjero y familiar, estar con o sin familia, y ajustarse al presente y/mientras relacionarse con el pasado; tensiones entre estas alternativas pueden crear varios desafíos psicosociales a los adolescentes refugiados.“只是偶尔黑”第二部分:对一位青少年旅程的反思 这是本刊之前曾刊登的论文的续篇，那篇论文讨论了在柏林，在那些供无人陪伴的青少年居住的难民营中所进行的分析工作。作者讨论了他与参加此项目的叙利亚和阿富汗青少年的相遇经验。其中的讨论围绕着对新文化的适应主题，特别关注了遵从和被边缘化之间的动力特点。文章探索了与家人分开的青少年难民身上都发生了什么，以及这一负担如何影响了他们自身身份的建构，作者联系了自己与生活在柏林的叙利亚青少年的会面，对这些问题进行了探讨。作者讨论了《埃涅阿斯记》中的一些角色，用以放大父子关系中的英雄和灵性的部分，从而描述与那个被撇下的失散父亲的联结。文章讨论了对帮助的需求以及对弹性的允许间的关系，这被看作是难民得以过渡的重要方面，同时也考虑了另一些变量，如:依赖与独立，陌生与熟悉，有家庭及无家庭，对当前的适应及/与此同时与过去的连接；这些方面交替带来的压力会对青少年难民产生多种心理社会的挑战。.

People's lives are increasingly hurrying because of several factors that interfere with lifestyle. However, little is known how much this style interferes in people body satisfaction. This study investigated the impact of lifestyle on body satisfaction of the university community. A total of 659 students (n=460), professors (n=49) and administrative staff (n=150) of a federal northeastern Brazilian university, answered the Body Satisfaction Situational Scale and Fantastic Lifestyle Questionnaire. Linear regression indicated that the work has a positive impact on the satisfaction of external parties for students, while for the administrative staff was the lowest alcohol consumption and being with family/friends that the impact, as professors, body satisfaction suffered impact of higher alcohol consumption, aggressive behavior, sleep deprivation, lower stress management and unsafe attitudes (p < .05). It is concluded that the lifestyle profile can be considered a determining factor for body satisfaction in higher education, contributing or not for higher body satisfaction.

This paper presents and invites reflections on belonging, solidarity and "being with" from within and between a practice and research frame. The paper explores the interconnected stories of personal development and transformation that emerged from a four year doctoral research project whilst also paying appropriate attention to the practice context, which is centralised given that the research is practice-based. Deliberate connections are made between the author's own experiences of transformation and the stories of transformation that women who were part of the research have shared. In so doing the importance of solidarity and being with is privileged. In a climate where group work is often viewed as an efficient way to teach “psychological skills” to people who are viewed as lacking such skills, offering a different (relational) frame challenges the individualised, deficit-defined discourse.

Objective To examine the association between child mental health and (a) the amount of parent–child interaction and (b) the amount of interference in that interaction due to paid work. Background Although some research findings suggest children do not always benefit from being with their parents full‐time, other studies suggest it is important for children to have their parents' undivided attention. Method Analyses are based on the 2013 New Families in the Netherlands dataset (639 fathers and 849 mothers of school‐aged children). Using structural equation modeling (SEM), we analyzed how child well‐being varied with the frequency of parent–child activities and the amount of interference due to paid work. Results Children demonstrated better mental health when the frequency of father–child activities was higher and the amount of interference due to work was lower. We found no effects for mothers. Moreover, the association between the frequency of parent–child activities and child mental health was not moderated by the amount of interference due to paid work (neither for fathers nor mothers). Conclusion The findings suggest that children attach great importance to the psychological availability of their fathers. We speculate that children respond more strongly to their fathers because their attention and involvement is less taken for granted than that of mothers. Implications Given the intrusive nature of smartphones and laptops in daily life, it is crucial that parents, employers, and family life educators understand how distractions during parent–child time due to paid work can affect children. With this knowledge, strategies to minimize unintended detrimental consequences for children can be developed.

This article draws on qualitative research with participants of volunteer abroad to conceptualize intimacy. I suggest intimacies are idealized as loving, familial relationships as outcomes of homestay programs. But, intimacy is fraught with complex meanings because being with others is unpredictable, gendered and racialized. I examine two modes of intimacy: with host families in the home space, and through catcalling. These encounters involved the promise of close familial intimacy, and the discomfort of sexualized intimacy. The former was associated with the love of the host mother, and the latter with machismo of Nicaraguan men. These two modes of intimacy mark two profoundly different affective moments: when volunteers primarily belonging and when they felt most at odds with being there. This article looks at participants' stories of intimacy and what these stories reveal about the ways power relations surface, even as they are denied.

Space is not just a background or room, but people being with the user. They must co-exist in response to the user's consciousness. In Space design, space must include people beings. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the differences of spatial color in the cafe space with floor finishing differences affect the emotional characteristics perceived by people beings through Evaluation of Sensitivity Keywords Survey. When the purpose of [conversation with a friend] was given, the emotional evaluation through 24 pairs of Sensitivity Keywords of cafe space according to purpose was sent to 300 people through Google Survey and emotional data was obtained. The results of Sensitivity Keywords survey were analyzed through frequency analysis of SPSS 24 statistical program, and the preference according to each question and the preferred interior space coefficient for each floor finishing were examined. In addition, Sensitivity Keywords for preferred cafe space was analyzed through exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and t-test. The preference for atmosphere was low for wood tiles, but the preference for wood tiles was high when the objective phrase was given. The Sensitivity Keywords of preference space according to purpose of [conversation with friend] was divided into four factors of `comfort`, `value`, `friendliness` and `comfort`. In `comfort`, 9 pairs of Sensitivity Keywords showed significant difference, `Value` showed significant difference in three pairs of Sensitivity Keywords. In `affinity`, one pair of Sensitivity Keywords, and in `comfort`, two pairs of Sensitivity Keywords showed significant differences. Feel in the cafe space with warm, soft, calm, weak, gentle, natural, comfortable, traditional, intimate, old sensuous wood tile floor finishing.. The color image feels brown series. Cool, firm, dynamic, strong, vivid, artificial, inconvenient, modern, strange, young emotion appears in cafe space with polished tile floor finishing. The color image feels gray series. Through this study, it was found that the visual stimulation of the colors provided as finishing materials affects the spatial sensitivity of the color obtained by the people experience.

The presented study is a presentation of the basic assumptions of the pneumatological anthropologyof one of the most outstanding Greek Orthodox theologians of the XX century, Nikos Angelos Nissiotis. His anthropology is christologically and pneumatologically oriented. Nissiotis proposes that the paradigm of interpreting the science of the creation of man should make the mystery of the incarnation. He is convinced, that looking at the activities of the Trinity through an incarnation prism, the problem of the beginning, being and destiny of man acquires a truly christocentric character. At the same time, he emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit in realizing the saving mission of Christ. He points out that the highest goal of man’s transformation is to be with Christ. Deification in its essence is a process of christification, which means being with Christ and being carried by the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes, that man must be defined in relation to his fulfilment which he achieves in Christ and in relation to the Holy Spirit.

The stability of the null solution of a system of differential equations describing two coupled nonlinear oscillators, one being with lack of damping, is discussed. Under certain assumptions we derive some stability results (see Theorems 3.1 and 4.1), which are in agreement with physical reality.

In Rinrigaku, Watsuji Tetsurō criticizes Martin Heidegger's Being and Time for taking as its starting point the standpoint of the individual “I.” For Watsuji, this “I” is an abstraction, an...

El artículo presenta las líneas conceptuales de base en relación con las cuales se sitúa el odio en la teorización freudiana. En el punto de partida diferencia una modalidad familiar del odio, aquella que puede identificarse justamente en “La novela familiar del neurótico”, de otra modalidad Unheimlich, aquella del odio primordial, cuyo escenario propio es la experiencia del viviente con el Otro prehistórico. Luego, sobre el telón de fondo de las dos teorías pulsionales freudianas, intenta situar el odio en sus relaciones con el principio del placer y con su más allá, para culminar en una referencia al odio y al malestar en la cultura.
