Authors: DEMİR Selçuk
Published: April 2023

Öğretmen kalitesinin, eğitimin kalitesinin artırılmasında önemli bir rolünün olduğu bilinmektedir. Psikolojik güçlendirme, öğretmenlerin gizil üstünlüklerinin ortaya çıkmasına yardımcı olmak suretiyle eğitimin kalitesine katkı sunan anahtar değişkenlerden bir tanesidir. Bu çalışmada; psikolojik güçlendirme ve bileşenlerinin, öğretmenlerin proaktif davranış düzeyleri üzerindeki rolünün belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Dolayısıyla bu araştırma; korelasyonel model ile biçimlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evreni; Siirt il merkezindeki ortaokullarda görev yapan branş öğretmenleridir. Kura ile 24 ortaokul belirlenmiştir. Bu ortaokullarda görev yapan 206 öğretmen, araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada öğretmenlerin; psikolojik güçlendirilmelerine yönelik algısını ölçmek için “Psikolojik Güçlendirme Ölçeği” ve proaktif davranış düzeylerini belirlemek için ise “Proaktif Kişilik Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin çözümlenmesinde; betimsel analiz, korelasyon ve regresyon analizlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Korelasyon sonuçları; psikolojik güçlendirme ve bileşenlerinin, algılanan proaktif davranış özellikleri ile istatistiki yönden pozitif ve anlamlı ilişkili olduklarını açığa vurmaktadır. Kısmi regresyon analizi; psikolojik güçlendirmenin, öğretmenlerin proaktif davranış düzeyini yordadığını göstermiştir. Çoklu regresyon analizi sonuçları ise psikolojik güçlendirmenin; anlamlılık, etki ve özerklik bileşenlerinin proaktif davranış düzeyini anlamlı yordadığını açığa çıkarmıştır. Psikolojik güçlendirmenin yeterlilik alt boyutu ise istatistiki olarak proaktif davranış düzeyini anlamlı yordamamıştır. Okul müdürlerinin, psikolojik güçlendirme çabaları, öğretmenlerin sahip oldukları proaktif davranış özelliklerinin artmasında faydalı bulunmaktadır. Diğer bir anlatımla bu yolla öğretmenlerin girişimcilik, inisiyatif alma ve başarılı olma gibi örgütler açısından yararlı görülen davranışlar geliştirmelerine katkı sunulmaktadır.

Microalgae contain pigments such as chlorophyll and ß-carotene that are found to be useful as ingredients in human foods. Downstream processing is the key step to obtain the pigments but before that, harvesting process is required. The purpose of harvesting is to separate the microalgae cells from its culture media. There are many harvesting methods including membrane filtration. Besides simple in operation, membrane filtration technology involves no chemicals, no phase changes and offers complete solid retention. However, high flux requirement and reducing operating and maintenance cost of membrane filtration are challenges for microalgae harvesting. Another issue with membrane filtration is membrane fouling. One of the common approaches used currently in anti-fouling harvesting is by modifying the configuration of the filtration system itself by adding auxiliaries such as air scouring and vibration into the filtration systems. Thus, this review covers recent microalgae species that have been harvested by membrane filtration and their efficiency. Chlorella vulgaris, Nannochloropsis oculata and Scenedesmus sp. are among the species that have been harvested using membranes. Techniques that can be applied for tailoring membrane filtration to be a universal harvesting method for all microalgae species are also highlighted. Having this in mind, factors such as membrane formulation and types of membrane making process which play significant roles in determining the efficiency of harvesting were discussed.
“I’m Told I Don’t Look Like a Foreigner”: Everyday Racism in Contemporary Italy
Authors: Quassoli Fabio , Muchetti Marta , Colombo Monica
Published: April 2023

In our article, we aim to explore the experience of everyday racism of young people with migrant parents in Italy. Drawing on the analysis of 20 interviews, we seek to reconstruct the overall dynamics of racial microaggressions, highlighting how the context in which microaggressions occur and the interplay between ethnic background, gender, and somatic features influences the interpretations and reactions of the victims. We highlight the boundary work and identity negotiation process carried out in everyday encounters. We also show that participants’ experience oscillates between the claim of not-taken‐for‐granted citizenship, the feeling of being confined within ethno‐cultural imaginaries, and the experience of overt manifestations of racism. Finally, we highlight both the process by which victims come to recognise racial microaggressions and the obstacles they face in coping with them.
Drivers’ Perspectives of Car Dependence
Authors: Metz David
Published: April 2023

The concept of car dependence includes both travel to destinations for which other modes than the car are not practical and preference for car travel even when other modes are available. While the concept has been a focus for transport analysts for some time, car ownership and use have continued to grow. This reflects the utility of the car for travel on roads where drivers do not experience excessive congestion and where there is parking at both ends of the journey. Local public transport and active travel only become generally attractive alternatives to the car in dense city centres where road space for car use is limited. Reduced car dependence is facilitated by city planning that encourages increased density, opportunities for which are constrained by the stability of the built environment. As well as utility for travel to achieve access to desired destinations, car ownership is also attractive on account of positive feelings, including pride, reflecting both self-esteem and social status. The positive feelings of the population at large towards car ownership are not consistent with the critical view of many analysts, a divergence in point of view that contrasts with the general acceptance of the need to respond to climate change, for which the purchase of electric vehicles is seen as an appropriate action. Rather than advocating measures explicitly aimed at reducing car dependence, a more effective policy approach would be to increase the availability of alternative modes while mitigating the detriments of car use.

Introduction. Glucocorticoids are actively used in the treatment of various diseases, however their long-term use leads to numerous negative side-effects, the molecular mechanisms of which remain poorly understood.

Aim. Study of the short-term (1–10 days) effects of various doses of dexamethasone (Dex) (0,1–10 mg/kg) on the expression of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR, Nr3c1), core proteins of main proteoglycans and heparan sulfate metabolism-involved genes, as well as the content of carbohydrate macromolecules of glycosaminoglycans in the brain tissue of experimental animals.

Materials and methods. In the study, C57Bl/6 mice were used. The expression of GR, proteoglycan core proteins and heparan sulfate metabolism-involved genes was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction with reverse transcription. The content and localization of GR protein molecule were studied by Western blot and immunohistochemical analysis, and the glycosaminoglycan content was determined by dot-blot analysis and Alcian Blue staining.

Results. It was shown that a single Dex administration leads to fast (1–3 days) short-term activation of GR expression (+1.5 times, p <0.05), proteoglycan’s genes (syndecan-3, Sdc3; perlecan, Hspg2; phosphacan, Ptprz1; neurocan, Ncan; +2–3-fold; p <0.05) and heparan sulfate-metabolism-involved genes (Ndst1, Glce, Hs2st1, Hs6st1, Sulf1 / 2; +1.5–2-fold; p <0.05) in the mouse brain, with a return to control values by 7–10 days after Dex administration. At the same time, the effect of Dex on carbohydrate macromolecules of glycosaminoglycans was more delayed and stable, increasing the content of low-sulfated glycosaminoglycans in the brain tissue in a dose-dependent manner starting from day 1 after Dex administration. Highly-sulfated glycosaminoglycans showed more delayed response to Dex administration, and an increase in their content was observed only at higher doses (2.5 and 10 mg/kg) and only on 7–10 days after its administration, apparently, mainly due to an increase in heparan sulfate content.

Conclusion. In general, the effect of a single injection of Dex on the transcriptional activity of GR, proteoglycan core proteins and heparan sulfate metabolism-involved genes were short-termed, and the genes expression quickly returned to the normal levels. However, even a single use of Dex significantly increased the content of total as well as highly sulfated glycosaminoglycans in the mouse brain tissue, which can lead to the changes in the composition and structure of the brain tissue, as well as its functional characteristics.
Shallow Seismicity in the Long Beach–Seal Beach, California Area
Authors: Yang Yan , Clayton Robert W.
Published: April 2023

Seismicity can help to locate fault zones that are often difficult to characterize in densely populated urban areas. In this study, we use three dense nodal arrays consisting of thousands of sensors to detect and locate seismic events in the Long Beach–Seal Beach area of California. Small events can be detected at sufficient signal-to-noise levels during the night, when urban noise is relatively low. We detect and locate >1000 events with ML below 2. Most of the located events are clustered at very shallow depth (0–2 km). The results support previous suggestions that the shallow Newport-Inglewood fault is a wide splayed fault in this area. The seismicity pattern also compares well with some newly identified faults from reflection seismic surveys. The shallow events, which elude detection by the regional seismic network, underscore the complex nature of the faults and their seismic hazard.
Exploring Chemotherapeutic Agents as Countermeasures against Respiratory Viruses: Antiviral Potential of Sugar Alcohols
Authors: Tesch Mari , Westover Jonna , Gonzalez Marcos , Rahaghi Franck
Published: April 2023

The emergence of respiratory viruses has been attracting considerable interest due to their potential to cause pandemics, such as the 1918 Spanish flu, the 2019 Coronavirus disease, and recently the Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in pediatric populations. There is a critical need to identify potential agents that can be included as part of the countermeasures to aid in the preparedness for a rapid public health response in case of a pandemic. This study aimed to explore the antiviral potential of sugar alcohols against respiratory viruses with pandemic potential. Methods: The antiviral activity of three sugar alcohols commonly utilized in the food and pharmaceutical industry, namely sorbitol, erythritol, and xylitol, were evaluated against Influenza (H1N1), RSV (A2), and SARS-CoV-2 (B.1.617.2; Delta) via a highly differentiated, three-dimensional, in vitro model of normal, intact, human-derived tracheal/bronchial epithelial cells. The sugar alcohol solutions were tested at a 5% concentration in duplicate inserts of the three-dimensional tissue models of the human airway. Results: Antiviral activity was measured in virus yield reduction assays by calculating the log reduction value defined as the average reduction of virus compared to the average virus control on day 3 (Influenza), day (RSV), and day 6 (SARS-CoV-2) after infection. Antiviral agents utilized as comparators were Ribavirin (Influenza, RSV) and Remdesivir (SARS-CoV-2). Erythritol displayed antiviral efficacy against Influenza with a log reduction value of 3.17. RSV was effectively inactivated by both sorbitol and xylitol with 2.49 and 2.65 log reduction values, respectively. All tested sugar alcohols inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Delta with a median log reduction value of 3.50. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that alone or in combination, sugar alcohols can inactivate respiratory viruses known to have pandemic potential. Additional research is needed to advance the development of sugar alcohols as chemotherapeutic countermeasures against other pandemic respiratory viruses.

Published: April 2023

Adopting statistical, comparative, and experimental methods, this article discusses the marketization of translation in Vietnam. Part 1 of the article briefly presents the current situation of translation training as well as the shortcomings in public perceptions and practices in Vietnam. Part 2 argues that marketization is an inevitable path to professionalism as regards translation. Based on the analysis of the inadequacies and limitations of the domestic translation market, Part 2 also maps out a package of measures for achieving this objective, which involves establishing feasible codes and standards, developing a professional training system, building a quality assurance and evaluation system, promoting cooperation in information exchange and digitalization in translation, setting up a reasonable competitive system, changing public perception of translation, etc. These suggestions serve as a proper theoretical background for the marketization and professionalization of the translation trade in Vietnam.

This study presents the results of a survey of 790 students from 6 high schools in Hanoi about problem-solving in social relations, which is one of the four components of social intelligence. The results of the survey on the current situation of this capacity showed that the majority of students displayed constructive problem-solving behavior and appropriate positive response strategies. The majority of students self-assessed the manifestations of problemsolving ability in social relations (classified by scores) from average to good. However, there is still a significant proportion of students with negative and inappropriate problem-solving activities or strategies, belonging to the group with the low problem-solving ability (15.6%). The study also tested a number of factors that may significantly affect the level of this ability of students. This result contributes to providing useful information in the development of educational programs and is a reliable database when providing educational solutions to improve the social problem-solving capacity of high school students.

Published: April 2023

As creches e os jardins de infância recebem cada vez mais crianças com atrasos no seu desenvolvimento, ou com problemáticas que evidenciam défices cognitivos, motores, sensoriais e/ou comportamentais. Essa realidade pode provocar nos Educadores de Infância (EI) sentimentos de incapacidade e limitação na forma como devem intervir. Para tal, precisam de trabalhar em colaboração com a Intervenção Precoce na Infância (IPI), principalmente com os técnicos da Equipa Local de Intervenção (ELI), para trocar experiências, conhecimentos e métodos de trabalho. Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um estudo de caso encetado no distrito do Porto, em Portugal, cuja questão de investigação pretende apreender como pode o EI potencializar a IPI numa Instituição Particular de Solidariedade Social (IPSS) através do trabalho colaborativo. Os objetivos delineados visavam compreender o papel do EI na IPI, perceber como se estabelecem as relações de colaboração entre o EI e a ELI e ainda identificar estratégias para que o EI possa potencializar a IPI numa IPSS. Utilizou-se uma investigação de natureza qualitativa/interpretativa, cuja técnica de recolha de dados foi a entrevista semiestruturada com questões abertas a EI. Os seus discursos enfatizam a perceção sobre o seu papel na IPI, ressaltando a carência na sua formação inicial para responder à diversidade das suas crianças. Também a necessidade de aumentar os recursos humanos e materiais nas IPSS e ainda alterações na estrutura do processo da IPI foram aspetos destacados.

BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF DUAL-TASK STUDIES PUBLISHED IN PHYSIOTHERAPY AND REHABILITATION
Authors: Taşvuran Horata Emel
Published: April 2023

OBJECTIVE: Dual-task is the ability to simultaneously perform two motor, behavioral, or cognitive tasks with different objectives at the same time. Most of daily life activities consist of dual-tasks. Dual-task training is commonly used in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of dual-task studies in physiotherapy and rehabilitation to describe their progress and trends.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data for bibliometric analysis were collected from the Web of Science. The topic search queries were TS=("dual-task" AND "physiotherapy" OR "dual task" AND "physiotherapy" OR "dual-task" AND “physical therapy” OR "dual task" AND "physical therapy").
RESULTS: As a result of the search, 98 publications were found. Mean number of citations for each publication was 27.29. The United States of America ranked first in terms of collaborative network (n=36) and publications (n=28). Nieuwboer (n=57) was the author who contributed the most to dual-task research (n=5). The keyword with the highest occurrence rate (OR) and total link strength (TLS) was “gait” (OR: 32, TLS: 75). The most commonly referred document among dual-task studies was the study of Folstein et al. (n=21). The document with the highest TLS was the study performed by Silsupadol et al. (n=22).
CONCLUSIONS: It was observed that there are severe gaps in the literature in terms of dual-task studies in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. It is suggested that dual-task training should be diversified and applied in different populations.

Etyolojisinde genetik nedenler, toksik ajanlar, cerrahi girişimler, otoimmün nedenler, enfeksiyonlar ve kalıtsal problemler bulunabilir. Reprodüktif dönemde kadın hastaların kanser tedavisi için kullandıkları kemoterapik ajanlar, sitotoksik etkilidir. Kemoterapik ajanlar hem oosit hem de oositi çevreleyen granüloza hücrelerinde hasara neden olarak folikül kaybı ve buna bağlı olarak da prematür over yetmezliğine sebep olmaktadır. Primordial folikül aktivasyonunda oluşabilecek bir düzensizlik over rezerv kaybına ve prematür menopoza yol açabilmektedir. Primordial folikülden primer foliküle geçişte, kontrollü aktive edici ve baskılayıcı rol oynayarak folikül havuzunun korunmasında rol alan sinyal yolakları birbirinden bağımsız ancak dengeli bir şekilde çalışır. Dengenin bozulduğu durumlarda, folliküllerin kitlesel aktivasyonu ve folikül havuzunun erkenden tükenmesi meydana gelmektedir. Overyan rezervin değerlendirilmesinde serum FSH, anti-Müllerian hormon (AMH), inhibin B ölçümleri ve ultrasonografi ile over hacmi ölçümü, antral folikül sayımı (AFS) ölçümü yapılır. POY, anovulasyonun yaygın nedenlerinden biridir. Kadınlarda kemoterapiye bağlı POY’nin azaltması, over dokusunun yenilenmesi ve hem endokrin hem de ekzokrin fonksiyonlarını geri kazanılması için birçok tedavi yöntemi araştırılmaktadır. Son zamanlarda birçok çalışmaya konu olan mezenkimal kök hücreler (MKH) stromal kökenli multipotent özellikte erişkin kök hücreleridir. Göbek kordonu, adipoz doku, plasenta, kemik iliği, ovaryum dokusu, amniyotik sıvı, endometriyal doku, karaciğer gibi birçok dokudan izole edilebilirler. MKH’lerin antiapoptotik, anjiojenik, antifibrotik özellikleri bulunmaktadır. Uyguladıkları dokularda immün yanıta neden olma ihtimalleri de düşüktür. Bu özellikleri sayesinde doku hasarı onarımında ve yenilenmesinde önemli roller üstlenirler. Yapılan deneysel çalışmalarda çeşitli kaynaklardan elde edilen MKH’lerin, overyan yetmezlikte foliküler gelişime katkısı ve overyan fonksiyonlara olumlu etkileri araştırılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, şu an için çözümsüz olan bazı POY olgularının tedavisinde MKH'ler ile ilgili gelecekteki klinik çalışmalara ışık tutabilir. Bu derlemedeki amacımız farklı kaynaklardan izole edilen MKH’lerin POY hastalarının over dokusu üzerindeki özelliklerini araştırmaktır.
Conceptualisation of Emotions
Authors: Gruchoła Małgorzata
Published: April 2023

The objective of this article is the conceptualisation, in line with Steven Gordon’s classification, of primary emotions: happiness, fear, sadness, and anger, together with “background emotions,” and social emotions: empathy, compassion (and self-conscious emotions: a sense of guilt, shame, pride) in social sciences, with the underlying assumption of biological foundations and cultural conditions of emotions (the theory of “cultural scripts” by Norbert Elias, “feeling rules” by Arlie Hochschild). Theoretical conceptualisations of emotions are presented, viewed from the perspective of anthropologists, cultural experts, sociologists, psychologists and linguists. What is offered are descriptions of manifestations of emotions, ways of their expression, physical symptoms, degrees of intensity, crucial areas, mental and physical consequences, as well as their functions.

The objective of this article is to present major aspects of linguistic studies of emotions. The studies rely on cognitive linguistics methodology, which encompasses both the spoken and written language, as well as non-verbal communication. Communicative aspects are of great importance, making it possible to observe the interaction between language and emotions. Emotionally-charged lexis and so-called “hate speech” are exemplary manifestations of linguistic emotional expressions.

Contemporary studies of language used in the media concentrate on an analysis of means of linguistic expression, cognitive definitions and mechanisms which generate emotions. The results of this study can be applied to various types of the media, they can help the media reach their target audience and engage the audience in the presented message.
Emotion-Generating Mechanisms in Television Programmes
Authors: Sosnowska Joanna
Published: April 2023

The aim of this article is to present the mechanisms of mediatisation of emotions in TV broadcasts in relation to the messages concerning the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The pandemic time has radically changed the way television works. The production of many TV programmes has been suspended around the world, and the way journalists and editorial staff work has changed, yet the viewership during the pandemic grew all over the world, despite negative emotions being generated.

The study relies on a qualitative analysis of the emotion-generating mechanisms in the audiovisual image. The research material was TV programmes about SARS-CoV-2 in March–June 2020. The research tools used permitted an analysis of the content of the message and its formal side (sound, image, graphics, music). The final results were divided into two areas of emotion-generating mechanisms: formal (forms) and thematic (content).

The analysis shows that especially negative emotions were evoked in TV programmes during the pandemic: threat, sadness and fear. At the level of form, the following mechanisms were revealed: visual enhancement, gradation, giving meaning, contrast and generalization. In terms of content mechanisms, one can observe the mechanism of drama, content accumulation (blocking), exposure, variable dynamics of positive and negative content, and narrative mechanisms. The observed mechanisms of generating emotions may also lead to manipulation of the recipient through the repetition of negative information or the use of authorities.

The conducted analysis confirmed the importance of combining form and content as well as strength, rhythmization and repetition of specific messages in the audiovisual message. The article may be the basis for research on the relationship between emotions and cognition, as well as research on the reception of audiovisual content.

Objective: Schizophrenia is known as a severe psychiatric disorder with a broad range of clinical indications and symptoms such as positive and negative symptoms. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of melatonin on positive and negative symptoms of inpatients with schizophrenia.
Method: This study was conducted as a randomized placebo-controlled trial (double-blind) in the population of patients with schizophrenia. Study samples were selected from inpatients with schizophrenia, according to the DSM-5 criteria, who had not been diagnosed with a depressive episode of schizophrenia based on the Calgary questionnaire and who also met the inclusion criteria. 46 patients with schizophrenia were randomly assigned to the intervention (6 mg melatonin per day as two 3 mg pills for six weeks) and placebo groups. The positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS) was used to assess the effect of treatment at T1 (before intervention), T2 (three weeks after beginning the intervention) and T3 (six weeks after beginning the intervention). To check the research hypotheses, multiple comparison statistics were used by the SPSS 22 software.
Results: The placebo and melatonin groups had no significant difference in terms of PANSS scores (negative, positive, general and total symptom scores) at T1. Also, there was no difference in PANSS scores between the two groups at T2. However, at T3, there was a significant difference between the two groups only in the score of negative symptoms of PANSS (P = 0.036), so that negative symptoms of schizophrenia were significantly reduced in the intervention group compared to the placebo group. Furthermore, based on within-group analyzes, all PANSS scores were significantly reduced in the two groups at T2 and T3 (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Long-term use (at least six weeks) of melatonin can improve the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Since antipsychotics can better affect the positive symptoms, the use of melatonin in combination with these drugs may perhaps further improve the patients’ symptoms.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of self-compassion-focused therapy on cognitive vulnerability to depression as one of the causes of the onset or recurrence of depressive episodes in people who were not depressed at the time of the research but were cognitively susceptible to depression.
Method: The statistical population included all students of Bu-Ali Sina University in 2020. The sample was selected through the available sampling method. First, 52 people were screened, and finally, by random assignment, 20 people were placed in the experimental group and 20 people in the control group. The experimental group underwent compassion-focused therapy for eight 90-minutes-long sessions. The instruments included the Attributional Style Questionnaire, the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale, the Cognitive Triad Inventory, the Self-Esteem Scale, and the 2ⁿᵈ edition Beck Depression Inventory.
Results: The results of multivariate analysis of covariance showed that self-compassion-focused therapy was effective in terms of cognitive vulnerability to depression (P < 0.01, F = 22.78), dysfunctional attitudes (P < 0.01, F = 15.53), self-esteem (P < 0.01, F = 30.07), general attribution style for negative events (P < 0.01, F = 11.41), stable attribution style for negative events (P < 0.01, F = 14.48) and internal attribution style for negative events (P < 0.01, F = 12.45).
Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that self-compassion-focused therapy can reduce cognitive vulnerability to depression. It seems that this has been achieved through the regulation of emotional systems and the increase of mindfulness, which leads to the reduction of safety-seeking behaviors and the modification of cognitive patterns that take place around the axis of the compassionate mind.
Psychometric Properties of the Persian Version of the Five-Factor Narcissism Inventory-Short Form (FFNI-SF)
Authors: Bahrami Bita , Safarloo Nasrin
Published: April 2023

Objective: For a long time, it was held that narcissism had two aspects: narcissistic grandiosity and narcissistic fragility. The extraversion, neuroticism, and antagonism elements of the three-factor narcissism paradigm, on the other hand, have gained popularity in recent years. Based on the three-factor framework of narcissism, the Five-Factor Narcissism Inventory-short form (FFNI-SF) is a relatively recent invention. Therefore, this research aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the FFNI-SF in Persian among Iranians.
Method: Ten specialists (with Ph.D.s in psychology) were enlisted in this research to translate and evaluate the reliability of the Persian version of the FFNI-SF. The Content Validity Index (CVI) and the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) were then used to assess face and content validity. It was given to 430 students at Azad University, Tehran Medical Branch, once the Persian form was completed. The available sampling technique was used to choose the participants. Cronbach's alpha and the test-retest correlation coefficient were used to assess the reliability of the FFNI-SF. In addition, concept validity was obtained using exploratory factor analysis. In addition, correlations with NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) and Pathological Narcissism Inventory (PNI) were employed to establish the convergent validity of the FFNI-SF.
Results: According to professional opinions, the face and content validity indices met expectations. With Cronbach's alpha and test-retest reliability, the questionnaire's reliability was also established. Cronbach's alphas varied between 0.7 and 0.83 for the FFNI-SF components. According to test-retest reliability coefficients, the components' values varied from 0.7 to 0.86. Additionally, three factors (extraversion, neuroticism, and antagonism) were recovered using the principal components approach and a straight oblimin rotation. According to an analysis of the eigenvalues, the three-factor solution accounted for 49.01 of the variation in the FFNI-SF. The eigenvalues for the three variables were 2.95 (M = 1.39), 2.51 (M = 1.3), and 1.88 (M = 1.24) respectively. The FFNI-SF Persian form's convergent validity was further verified by the association between its results and those from the NEO-FFI and PNI tests and the FFNI-SF. There was a substantial positive association between FFNI-SF Extraversion and NEO Extraversion (r = 0.51, P ≤ 0.001), as well as a strong negative correlation between FFNI-SF antagonism and NEO agreeableness (r = -0.59, P ≤ 0.001). As well as this, PNI grandiose narcissism (r = 0.37, P ≤ 0.001) was shown to be significantly associated with FFNI-SF grandiose narcissism (r = 0.48, P ≤ 0.001), as it was with PNI vulnerable narcissism (r = 0.48, P < 0.001).
Conclusion: with its solid psychometric qualities, we may utilize the Persian FFNI-SF to test the three-factor model of narcissism as an effective tool for research.
Los métodos formales y el principio de tolerancia en la filosofía
Authors: León Untiveros Miguel Ángel
Published: April 2023

En este artículo defiendo la idea de que los métodos formales (lógica y matemáticas) aplicados a la filosofía cumplen un rol conforme a los valores epistémicos de claridad y distinción. Aun así, no agotan ni reducen la discusión filosófica a una mera cuestión formal, sino que, siendo una cuestión previa, la potencian y enriquecen. Asimismo, los métodos formales fundamentan el principio de tolerancia en la filosofía, el cual formularé en este artículo.
