Mental disorder and mental health interventions for children and youth: the cases of non-suicidal self-harm and unruly behaviour A philosophical inquiry
Authors:   , Ahir-Knight Snita
Published: May 2021

This dissertation is a contribution to the philosophy of mental disorder with a focus on children and youth and questions about what interventions they need.

I start by asking whether non-suicidal self-harm in youth is a mental disorder. Non-suicidal self-harm involves someone causing themselves harm with no intent to try to kill themselves. Young people cutting themselves alone and when with peers may be viewed as destructive, abnormal and irrational. Yet, I argue that non-suicidal self-harm in youth is never a mental disorder in its own right. Although non-suicidal self-harm in youth is not a disordered behaviour, that does not imply that it never merits intervention.

This leads to the question of what criteria should be applied when deciding whether to offer mental health interventions. I claim that whether one has a mental disorder should not determine whether one is offered a mental health intervention. The argument is made through considering the cases of non-suicidal self-harm in youth and unruly behaviour in children and youth. Unruly behaviour includes a wailing toddler, a child deliberately breaking items and a youth crossing police lines when protesting.

Unruly behaviour is another interesting case. In some instances, there is a high likelihood of negative outcomes for some children and youth who are behaving in an unruly way. However, unruly behaviour may also be part of a passing phase and helpful for development. Furthermore, in some cases, unruly behaviour may be praiseworthy, and encouraging unruliness may advance an individual’s welfare. The case of unruly behaviour, then, raises the question of when mental health clinicians should intervene.

The cases of non-suicidal self-harm and unruly behaviour help make my central claims. I say that behaviours and thoughts that are usually part of a passing phase and produce goods appropriate to that phase of life are not mental disorders; that managing life in the best way one can with the abilities available at a particular stage of life is not disordered; and, furthermore, that whether one has a mental disorder should not determine whether one is offered a mental health intervention. Finally, I say that, rather than depending on whether a person has a mental disorder, interventions should be offered only when they will advance the welfare of the service user.

My dissertation will appeal to philosophers. I also hope that youth, parents, teachers, clinicians, policy makers and similar will be interested in the contents. This is because important practical questions are asked that challenge common views, and that guide policies and clinical practice to improve the welfare and service outcomes for children and youth.
“It is shameful for me, but it doesn’t define me”: Exploring Experiences of Intimate Partner Abuse and Help-seeking among Female Students with a Male Partner
Authors:   , Wynn Annalise
Published: May 2021

Although a large quantity of research examines women’s victimisation by men in intimate relationships, little is known about the experiences of women who are university students. This is despite intimate partner aggression (IPA) being most prevalent in young people. This qualitative study sets out to address this gap by examining the experiences and associated help seeking of women attending a New Zealand university who have experienced harm from a male intimate partner. Five women voluntarily responded to an advert emailed to clients enrolled with the university student counselling service and took part in in-depth, individual semi-structured interviews. Transcripts were analysed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. This analysis identified four themes related to the women’s experiences of IPA and help seeking. The first theme of A prior vulnerability comprised of three subthemes each representing a factor which contributed to the women’s vulnerability to entering an aggressive relationship. These were 1) a lack of life experience and understanding of partner aggression, 2) pre-existing challenges, and 3) a whirlwind relationship. The second theme Stuck described the barriers that the women faced which kept them in the relationship. These barriers were 1) a controlling environment, 2) not recognising abuse, 3) excusing the behaviour, 4) problem solver, 5) barriers to leaving the relationship, 6) barriers to help seeking and disclosure, and 7) the disempowering nature of negative help seeking experiences. The third theme Becoming unstuck comprised of four subthemes describing how the women were able to overcome the barriers and leave the relationship. These were 1) underlying resilience, 2) knowledge is power, 3) the importance of self-realisation and autonomy, and 4) the validating nature of positive help seeking experiences. The fourth theme The aftermath comprised of three subthemes demonstrating the short term and ongoing impacts of IPA. These were 1) double edge sword of freedom, 2) ongoing negative impact, and 3) healing over time. The findings highlight the importance of understanding young people’s aggression within the context of the developmental stages of adolescence. Importantly the results highlight the insidious nature of control and psychological aggression and its negative impact upon young women. In addition, it highlights how the young women’s lack of understanding and education about IPA kept them stuck, and how gaining knowledge was instrumental in empowering them to leave. Thus it is argued that prevention and early intervention efforts need to enhance this understanding at a societal level to improve women’s help seeking experiences. These findings contribute to a wider understanding of IPA and inform university service and policy design.

Common Problems in English Pronunciation Among Chinese Learners and Teaching Implications
Authors: Zhang Lanqing
Published: May 2021

In the process of learning any languages, pronunciation is an important part of language acquisition because pronunciation may influence a listener’s comprehension of one’s expression. An example is the classical mistake of pronouncing “sink” and “think.” Because Germans cannot pronounce /s/, the rescue worker cannot understand why a man who is “thinking” needs help. In China, English learners are also facing the problems of pronunciation. Gimson, a famous professor of linguistics in Britain, pointed out that when learning a language, one should understand 50%-90% of its grammar and 1% of its vocabulary, but it is necessary to fully master the pronunciation, thus highlighting the importance of pronunciation.[1] However, pronunciation is a difficult part of a second language acquisition. This article analyzes the problems of pronunciation and discuss some methods on how to resolve them.

A Comparative Analysis of War Metaphors in COVID-19 Reports in New York Times and China Daily
Authors: Xiao Yanmei
Published: May 2021

This paper analyzed the use of war metaphors in COVID-19 news reported by the New York Times (NYT) in comparison to the China Daily from the 1st of February 2020 to the 29th of February 2020. Based on self-selected corpus from these two newspapers, a study was conducted to compare the contrasting lexis between NYT and China Daily, as well as to analyze the reasons for their differences using the Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA). It was found that China Daily preferred using war metaphors in COVID-19 reports and war-related words such as “fight,” “combat,” and “battle.” These words appeared frequently which demonstrated that Chinese people were fighting against the pandemic. However, these words were far less used in the NYT reports compared to China Daily and the use of these words were more related to the election, trade war, etc. This reflected their focus which was more on the impact of COVID-19 on politics and the economic sector.

Authors: Hamzah Imaduddin
Published: May 2021

Studies of shame and guilt have focused more on normal populations and cultural and religious contexts. The study of this topic for a group of subjects who commit crimes is still limited, especially sexual crimes as actions that are considered socially embarrassing. This study focused on examining the relationship of shame with guilt on inmates of sexual crimes (N = 143) who are carrying out sentences in correctional institutions. Shame and guilt are measured using the Guilt and Shame Proneness (GASP) Scale developed by Cohen et al. This study found a significant positive association so that shame can be a predictor of guilt. This study has implications for the importance of correctional institutions providing treatment to increase shame for prisoners of sexual crimes, thereby preventing the re-offense of their crimes.

Konstruktywizm edukacyjny – niejednoznaczność, kontrowersje, dylematy
Authors: Klus-Stańska Dorota
Published: May 2021

This article is a voice in the discussion on the reasons why the polemics on the essence and status of constructivism and on its significance for educational practices continues. The multiplicity of theoretical references, the ambiguity of evidence on educational outcomes, and the divergence of assessments of the effects of using constructivism in organizing learning processes have their various causes. This text undertakes to identify those reasons whose roots lie in the nature of pedagogical science and in the related peculiarities of the relationship between academic theory and teaching practice.
Społeczne podstawy poznania i rozwoju – konstruktywizm społeczno-kulturowy Lwa S. Wygotskiego. Nowe odczytania, rekonstrukcje, tropy epistemologiczno-metodologiczne
Authors: Filipiak Ewa
Published: May 2021

The original concept, theory-method of Lev S. Vygotsky, the innovative nature of his views allows to adopt new theoretical and methodological tools to describe the process of development and learning of a child, reconstruct what is happening in the classroom and in the students’ minds. For many years the interest in Vygotsky’s concept has been experiencing a renaissance all over the world, also in Poland. The cognitively sophisticated concept has original terminology. Unfortunately, in the discourses, frequent borrowings and loose usage of terms have been observed, as well as the reproduction of Vygotsky’s words without discovering the meaning or giving them a deeper meaning. As a consequence, this brings the risk of distortion of the idea and the apparent change of school culture, its opening to a new quality (socio-cultural constructivism). In this article I share my reflection on: research and Research and Development (R&D) activities based on the theory-method of L.S. Vygotsky, applying his ideas to pedagogical research, and educational implications for changing everyday teaching practice.
Miejsca kultury w antropologii i etnografii edukacyjnej
Authors: Červinková Hana , Woźniak Tomasz
Published: May 2021

The focus of this article is on culture as a central concept of educational anthropology – a subdiscipline of anthropology that focuses on the fields of education and learning as key aspects of social life. It begins with an introduction into how culture has been criticially conceptualized in anthropology and ethnography and then illustrates how educational anthropologists have used the concepts of culture and cultural critique to analyze educational processes in diverse sociocultural settings. The author points out three primary areas in which anthropology of education enriches our understanding of education and learning: 1) investigations of diversity of educational practices in different sociocultural contexts; 2) critical examination of cultural practices and structures of inequality and exclusion vis-à-vis minority subjects in the educational process; 3) positioning of participatory research approaches and engagement as legitimate methodological and scholary standpoints. The article builts primarily on examples of texts that have been recently published in the Polish language in order to help situate the perspective of educational anthropology in Polish scholarly discourse and tradition.

Konstruktywizm i pedagogika różnorodności w kontekście edukacji włączającej
Authors: Rzeźnicka-Krupa Jolanta
Published: May 2021

Constructivism is a very complex and ambiguous concept, whereas the constructivist approach is mostly presented in three main aspects: ontological and epistemological (conditions and capabilities of reality existence and cognition), psychological (mental processes of knowledge constructing) and pedagogical (processes of learning and creating concepts). In this article I am searching the answer to two basic questions, the first one reading: What are the potential results of the constructivist approach in connection with diversity pedagogy and inclusion learning for education and the functioning of schools? The posthuman critique of social constructivism formulates the second of the questions I want to answer in the text: how can the constructivist approach cooperate with some new contemporary social theories, especially the new realism (materialism) and pedagogy of things? Employing the Piagetian concept of decentration, I take a critical look at how and in what sense constructivism could influence the change of meanings ascribed to categories like norm(s), learning difficulties or special educational needs, as well as reformulate the general philosophy of education and eventually affect the functioning of schools as accessible learning environments.
Freinet and Montessori in practice. A comparative analysis of the meanings attributed to the process of learning by early education teachers – research report
Authors: Jendza Jarosław , Grzanka Joanna
Published: May 2021

The article presented is a qualitative analysis of the early education Freinet and Montessori teachers in relation to their educational practices in the scope of educational constructivism. Understanding constructivism as a metaphor describing process of learning, the authors outline similarities and differences in the conceptions attributed to the processes of learning between the two researched groups of teachers. The results of the analysis show the opposite “direction” of the thematizations. Freinet teachers concentrate on the techniques and then – in their narratives – outline the values related to education whereas Montessori teachers’ narratives are oriented at values and only illustrated with some technological examples. The outcomes of the analysis can be formulated in a form of provisional synthesis: The realization of constructivism in education is not connected so much with so called “active learning techniques” but rather with values, individual and shared axio-educational orientations and the quality of relations between various subjects involved in education. Such a hypothesis leads to the questioning of the tendency according to which teachers’ education should be practical. On the contrary, we claim that such a conception on teachers’ education might be an obstacle to the wide implementation of constructivism in educational practices.

The paper presents the results of blue lupine variety studies by the main economic and useful features. The authors determine the efficiency of grain production of early-ripening lupine variety of Ladny in the Northern region of Russia. The research was carried out in the plant growing laboratory of the Arkhangelsk Research Institute of Agriculture located on the premises of the unitary enterprise “Kotlasskoe”. When selecting plants for testing within the Northern agricultural zone, the authors were guided by the goal to identify productive varieties of blue lupine, which could well develop under local natural conditions and the conventional system of farm production adopted in the Northern region. In the course of research, five varieties were studied: Fazan, Dikaf, Ladny (FRC “Nemchinovka”), Siderat, Nadezhda (All-Russian Lupine Research Institute). The main limiting factor in the conditions of the North is the early maturation of the variety. In the present research, the shortest growing season of 55 days for green mass and 89–110 days for grain was found with the Ladny variety. Among all the samples, the yield of green mass and dry matter was observed for late-ripening samples of Nadezhda-31.1 t/ha and 5.3 t/ha, Siderat – 46–36.7 t/ha and 36.7 t/ha, respectively. The yield of green mass in the early-ripening Ladny variety amounted to 30.0 t/ha, dry matter – 4.8 t/ha. According to the grain yield for all three years of testing, the early-ripening precocious Ladny variety ranked first with a yield of 2.00 t/ha. In 2019, the seed yield was obtained only from this variety, while the other varieties did not mature at all. The Ladny variety surpassed all the tested varieties in terms of the feed value of the green mass. In the present research, the economic efficiency of introducing the Ladny lupine variety into grain forage production was 143% as for protein yield per hectare and the profitability accounted for 326%. Thus, when selecting early-ripening varieties, the use of blue lupine for grain-forage purposes in the Subarctic zone is feasible and economically profitable.

Providing the brewing industry with locally produced raw materials is important both from an economic point of view and in terms of import substitution. Breeders create brewing barley varieties with a reduced protein content, however, in production they often use universal varieties that combine high yields with an average protein content of 11–12%. For such varieties, it is necessary to develop technological methods for obtaining a crop with specified properties, depending on the purposes of using the products. The quality indicators of barley grain and the efficiency of its production are significantly influenced by mineral fertilizers and the minimization of soil cultivation. In this regard, the authors studied the effect of minimal tillage on the yield and grain quality of spring barley of the Vladimir variety at two levels of mineral nutrition (without fertilizers 26 and with full supply oif mineral fertilizer – N35P40K135) in a two-factor field experiment carried out in 2018–2019 on the medium-loamy light gray forest soil. The experiment helped determine the yield and structure of the crop, the content of protein, starch, and grain hoodness (hull content). It was found that the lack of precipitation during the barley tillering – heading period leads to a decrease in grain yield by 40.0–54.8% as compared with the conditions of increased moisturizing. At the same time, there was an increase in the grain protein content by 1.4–1.7% and the grain filminess by 0.5–0.9%. The use of moderate rates of complete mineral fertilizer (N35P40K85) led to an increase in the barley yield by an average of 13.2% and the grain protein content by an average of 0.2%. On the other hand, it led to a decrease in the grain filminess by 0.2% and starch content by 0.4–0.6%. The positive effect of nitrogen fertilizers on the increase in protein content in barley grain was higher under minimal tillage. Under minimal tillage, regardless of the level of moisture supply and mineral nutrition, there was a tendency towards a decrease in the barley yield by an average of 3.9%, mainly due to a decrease in the density of the productive stalk. There was also a tendency towards a decrease in the protein content in the barley grain – by 0.3% – when no complete mineral fertilizer was used.

Published: May 2021

MANET (Mobile Ad hoc Network) is a technology used for data communication on mobile media. MANET moves and speeds also randomly with different distances between nodes. In the AODV reactive protocol, the development of a routing protocol with an ant colony model can significantly improve performance. The measurement results will impact the decision on the development of the ant colony protocol implemented in AODV to obtain the best route for data transmission. Several studies have developed the K-Means clustering method to obtain the shortest and best route from the AODV protocol. It does not measure congestion, distance, energy, and signal strength of the wireless network. In this research, a combination of methods was carried out, by combining clustering and also ant colony method to get the best route while dealing with the problems that have been mentioned. Implementation is done by modifying the AODV protocol and adding the two methods. At the end of the research, metric measurements were carried out to determine the Packet Delivery Ratio, End to End Delay and also the Average Hop Count.

One of the strategies in order to compete in Batik  MSMEs  is to look at the characteristics of the customer. To make it easier to see the characteristics of  customer buying behavior, it is necessary to classify customers based on similarity of characteristics using fuzzy clustering. One of the parameters that must be determined at the beginning of the fuzzy clustering method is the number of clusters. Increasing the number of clusters does not guarantee the best performance, but the right number of clusters greatly affects the performance of fuzzy clustering. So to get optimal number cluster, we can measured the result of clustering in each number cluster using the cluster validity index. From several types of cluster validity index,  NPC give the best value. Optimal number cluster that obtained by the validity index is 2 and this number cluster give classify result with small variance value
