Aesthetic-cultural education of personality in the age of multiculturalism: social-philosophical aspect
Authors: Gold Olga
Published: July 2023

The article deals with the issue of aesthetic and cultural education in the age of multiculturalism, which is relevant for modern pedagogy. The connections between culture and education, the growth of the role of aesthetic and cultural education and the training of a future specialist are considered, according to which the emphasis is shifted from traditional pedagogy to the development of aesthetic and cultural education of a comprehensively developed personality. It is noted that modern pedagogy considers culture and aesthetics as an auxiliary means of influencing the student, as well as the formation of his aesthetic and cultural instructions. In the article, based on the study of aesthetic and cultural education of the individual in the modern age, it is carried out in the context of multiculturalism and the synthesis of approaches from the point of view of socialization and the transition of society from traditional to modern in the conditions of globalization/polyconfessionality/transformation and the peculiarities of education in conditions of war and in the period of aggravation of social confrontations - from the standpoint of resistance to attempts to change the world order by force in the conditions of the clash of barbarism and civilization. Aesthetic and cultural education in the age of multiculturalism can serve as an example of social and cultural support for the development of individual skills and competencies. Aesthetic education has been known since ancient times. Support for aesthetic development can be based on a system of activities aimed at the activity mediation of knowledge, which opens up the possibility of their transformation into skills, creating favorable conditions for the formation of relevant competencies. In the age of multiculturalism and globalization, values are changing in favor of world/ western/modern ones, which are based on the observance of laws as the basis of the social order and educate socially mature, morally prepared and patriotic members of society. It is summarized that numerous definitions of the concept of “multiculturalism” can be classified into: historical and social, which shows the presence of ethnic and religious diversification in society; culturally diverse – the presence of cultural and spiritual understanding of the individual; political and economic – as a dependence on the economic and social situation; pedagogic-social-state – as a program of education in the state; globalist – as interconnected with modern processes of societies and civilizations.

Published: July 2023

The systemic effects of lasers have been observed for a long time. Despite a huge amount of evidence, its foundations are still being systematically investigated with several scientific experiments. As the metabolism in animals is systemic by nature, it should come as no surprise that localized excitation of molecules leads to generalized reactions, which can contribute to the rehabilitation of many diseases. As a new area of research, clinical cases presentations generate evidence for more in-depth fundamental studies. In this work, we report some different clinical cases, demonstrating the value of photobiomodulation in systematic situations. A collection of cases where vascular systemic photobiomodulation were employed are presented and inflammatory markers area evaluated. All cases considered are known to have long treatment and difficult results. The results presented with vascular systemic photobiomodulation are relevant in the considered to improve quality of life, stimulus for its use in general and as a motivation for in-depth studies in the area.
Regional differences and spatio-temporal convergence of environmental regulation efficiency in the Yellow River Basin, China
Authors: Lu Fei , Ren Huaiguo , Zhai Xinglong
Published: July 2023

Environmental regulation efficiency facilitates environmental governance performance assessment, ecological protection, and high-quality development. Herein, based on the panel data of 75 cities in the Yellow River Basin from 2007 to 2020, this paper constructed an evaluation index system and measured the environmental regulation efficiency using a super-EBM hybrid distance model. We analyzed the regional differences and dynamic evolution characteristics of environmental regulation efficiency with the help of Dagum’s Gini coefficient decomposition and kernel density estimation methods. Furthermore, a spatial econometric model explored the spatio-temporal convergence of environmental regulation efficiency. The main findings show that the environmental regulation efficiency of the overall Yellow River Basin and the upper, middle, and lower reaches showed an increasing trend with significant within-region spatial differences. The differences between all regions had a narrowing trend. The primary source of spatial differences in environmental regulation efficiency was the intensity of transvariation. The dynamic evolution characteristics of environmental regulation efficiency in different regions were quite different, and the spatial polarization phenomenon was more evident in the upper reaches. Except for the overall Yellow River Basin, all regions existed σ convergence. The results of spatial convergence estimation indicated absolute and conditional β convergence in all regions. The findings provide a factual reference for policies related to establishing policy systems for environmental regulation efficiency and green coordinated development in similar regions of the world.
Implementing buprenorphine prolonged-release injection using a health at the margins approach for transactional sex-workers
Authors: Gittins Rosalind , Teck Joseph Tay Wee , Knowles Rebecca , Clarke Nicole , Baldacchino Alexander
Published: July 2023

Background

Access to prescribed interventions and retention in treatment services are associated with improved health outcomes and reduced premature mortality rates for people living with opioid use disorder (OUD). In Leeds, transactional sex-workers frequently cycled in and out of treatment for OUD such that they never reached a level of engagement that permitted opportunities to meet their healthcare or housing needs. Barriers to accessing care provision include an itinerant lifestyle, difficulties with travel at unpredictable hours, impacting upon adherence to medication regimens including daily supervised consumption.

Objectives

To use a co-produced, “health at the margins” approach, to reach the sex-working population in Leeds, and support informed choices about the potential to receive buprenorphine prolonged-release injection (BPRI) as a treatment option for OUD.

Methods

BPRI was introduced using a theory of change model and improvements in sex-worker care delivery was reviewed. Strategies included buprenorphine micro-induction, shared decision-making, collaborative multi-agency working and supporting a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach.

Results

Benefits of BPRI included removal of the need for daily pharmacy visits, reducing the risk of diversion, improved medication adherence, stability and engagement with treatment and supportive services.

Conclusion

BPRI may offer an additional option for pharmacological interventions for people with OUD where there may be increased barriers to accessing treatment for example due to sex-working. Strategies for effective BPRI include micro-induction, shared decision-making, collaborative multi-agency working and supporting a strengths-based approach.

Published: July 2023

Physical examination (PE) of donors is essential to identify potential risks to the safety and efficacy of donated organs and tissues and is mandatory in the EU. However, no detailed guidance is available as to how PE should be performed. Health authorities (HA) and health professionals (HP) in member states of the European Committee on Organ Transplantation of the Council of Europe (CD-P-TO) and observer countries completed surveys relating to the regulatory requirements for PE and the professional practice of PE in their countries for organ and tissue donors. The HA survey addressed regulatory aspects, and the HP survey addressed professional practices, training, and respondents’ opinions on the value of PE. These surveys revealed significant inter-country variation in the regulatory approach to PE and the performance of PE by professionals. Most respondents opined that PE was important and yielded valuable information in identifying contraindications to donation. There is no consensus at a regulatory or professional level as to how PE should be performed on organ and tissue donors. There is a requirement for agreed best practice guidelines in this area.
Patient views on the routine use of a two-item screening tool for domestic abuse in general practice: a UK-based cross-sectional study
Authors: Sivarajasingam Vasumathy , Webber Iman , Karki Manisha , Bagkeris Emmanouil , El-Osta Austen
Published: July 2023

Background

Domestic abuse (DA) is underdiagnosed by the medical community. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) does not recommend DA screening in primary care. The enduring use of remote consultations since COVID-19, coupled with the sensitive nature and increasing prevalence of DA, necessitates review of the NICE guideline, which was developed pre-pandemic primarily for face-to-face consultations.

Aim

To explore NHS patient experiences and views on routine DA screening in primary care.

Method

Data were collected from 6967 NHS patients using an anonymous 29-item eSurvey that included information on accessible support services. Logistic regression analysis from 4253 responders explored the association between the validated WAST-short questions and previous exposure to abuse.

Results

Almost half of the responders confirmed having experienced DA, whereas 6.1% declined disclosure. About two-thirds of responders agreed it would be beneficial to routinely screen DA in general practice using a short, validated tool. Logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, and ethnicity suggested those with a history of abuse had 11.52 times higher odds of having tension in the relationship and 9.72 times higher odds of having difficulty working out arguments compared with those with no history of DA. Similarly, those who answered ‘would rather not say’ had 6.42 times higher odds of having tension in the relationship, and 4.31 times higher odds of having difficulty working out arguments.

Conclusion

The routine use of the already established WAST-short in primary care could help identify and potentially tackle DA. Training health and social care professionals in administering the brief, non-threatening DA screening questionnaire would help raise awareness, and identify and support victims.
Specifics of social adaptation and predisposition to deviant behavior among adolescents in a digitized environment
Authors: Volchenkova Anastasia
Published: July 2023

The article analyses deviant behavior, which is often a consequence of digitalization, as well as a factor impairing the social adaptation of modern adolescents. An analysis of ideas about adolescents’ social adaptation in the context of digitalization in domestic and foreign psychology is given. The research involved 1093 adolescents playing computer games of different genres, which mainly differ in the number of players, as well as in the features of a game design, tasks and actions that are set before a user. The following methods were used: express questionnaire «Tolerance Index» (G. Soldatova et al.); methodology of risk readiness diagnosis (A. Schubert); methodology of success motivation and failure motivation diagnosis (A. Rean); methodology of sense-life orientations (D. Leontiev); methodology for diagnosing personality motivation to success and to avoid failures (T. Ehlers); «Psychological Safety of the School Environment» questionnaire (I. Baeva); method of subjective assessment of situational and personal anxiety (C. Spielberger); diagnostic technique for social competence of students (A. Prikhozhan); Tomsk rigidity questionnaire (G. Zalewski); diagnostic technique for inclination to deviant behavior (A. Orel). The influence of factors of the Internet environment on the psychological characteristics of adolescents is discussed. The correlations of psychological features of adolescents who prefer such genres of computer games as MMO, MOBA are analyzed. Differences between the parameters of social adaptation and predisposition to deviant behavior in adolescents who prefer different computer game genres were revealed. Adolescents preferring MOBA computer games were characterized by high levels of motivation, readiness for risk and general rigidity. Voluntary control of emotional reactions was significantly lower in this group as opposed to the group of adolescents preferring the MMO genre.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of accrual-based government accounting standards at BPKAD Labuhan Batu Regency and to analyze the suitability of the implementation of accrual-based government accounting standards in accordance with the Statement of Government Accounting Standards (PP No. 71 of 2010 and supported by PERMENDAGRI No. 64 of 2013). Methods of data collection using observation (observation), interviews, and documentation studies. The results on the regulatory and policy aspects show that Permendagri 64 of 2013 mandates local governments to provide regulatory and policy tools related to the implementation of accrual-based SAP, but still refers to PP 71 of 2010, while the use of Permendagri No. 64 of 2013 experienced problems related to adjusting cash-based accounting policies towards accruals to an accrual-based accounting system. The results on the budget aspect show that the obligation to implement accrual-based SAP requires BPKAD to adjust from a cash-based accounting system policy towards SIMDA 2.5 accruals to the SIMDA 2.7 accrual-based accounting system that is currently being implemented which is in accordance with PP No. 71 of 2010. The results of the information technology aspect show that the information technology used according to the BPKAD Secretary, namely the regional financial management application system uses SIMDA 2.7 which has been provided by the BPKP. The results on the human resource aspect show that the implementation of accrual-based SAP requires the Labuhan Batu District BPKAD to adjust from cash to accrual-based accounting system policies to the current accrual-based accounting system which is in accordance with PP No. 71 of 2010.Keywords: Accounting Standards Based on Governmental Accounting, Accrual Basis
A novel approach for zero-inflated count regression model: Zero-inflated Poisson generalized-Lindley linear model with applications
Authors: Altun Emrah , Alqifari Hana , Eliwa Mohamed S.
Published: July 2023

Count regression models are important statistical tools to model the discrete dependent variable with known covariates. When the dependent variable exhibits over-dispersion and inflation at zero point, the zero-inflated negative-binomial regression model is used. The presented paper offers a new model as an alternative to the zero-inflated negative-binomial regression model. To do this, Poisson generalized-Lindley distribution is re-parametrized and its parameter estimation problem is discussed via maximum likelihood estimation method. The proposed model is called as zero-inflated Poisson generalized Lindley regression model. The results regarding the efficiency of parameter estimation of the proposed model are evaluated with two simulation studies. To evaluate the success of the proposed model in the case of zero inflation, two datasets are analyzed. According to the results obtained, the proposed model gives better results than the negative-binomial regression model both in case of over-dispersion and in the case of zero inflation.
Team Charters in Business Education: The Importance of Perceived Level of Working Well Together
Authors: Snow Andrade Maureen , Westover Jonathan , Workman Letty
Published: July 2023

Schools of business aim to help students develop employer-valued skills, which include communication, teamwork, critical thinking, and application of learning. This can be achieved through team assignments and community-based learning. Such approaches help students apply the concepts they are learning, collaborate with others, develop managerial skills, and solve real-life workplace issues. Teamwork is commonly thought to be enhanced when students establish a team charter outlining their goals, norms, and processes. Research on the value of team charters in business education, however, is limited. This study examined the role of team charters on student perceptions of working well together. Data was collected and analyzed from a mid-term team evaluation and a final team charter assessment. Findings indicated that perceived value of team charters differs across the year in school and tends to be higher for less experienced students. The provision of a structured project roadmap clarified team member roles, responsibilities, personal accountability, and team vision.

Published: July 2023

The present study describes the pharmaceutical drug recall in different five countries to evaluate the drug recall that occurred in the last three successive years. The different countries have different regulations for drug recall. Drug product recall is an action taken to withdraw or remove a batch or an entire production run of drug product from distribution or use to return them to manufacturer.it is usually done due to deficiency in quality, safety and efficacy. In the USA, guidelines for drugs product recall are described under 21 CFR Parts 7, 107 and 1270. In Australia, guidelines for drugs product recall are described under section 65F of trade practices act 1974. In Canada, it includes under section 25 of Natural Health Products Regulations (NHPR). In India it includes under para 27 and 28 of schedule M. In South Africa SAHPRA (South African Health Products Regulatory Authority) guidelines are responsible for regulations of drug product recall. Majority of drug recalls occur in the United states due to various reasons. In 2020-2022 total 257 drugs were recalled in Last three years. In Canada and Australia 220 and 25 drugs are recalled respectively. India and South Africa have recalled 2 and 21 drugs respectively. By the observation we can conclude that India and South Africa have a smaller number of recalls. In the USFDA number of drug recalls are decreasing due to following up the laws and regulatory.

Published: July 2023

The development of industry in Indonesia has experienced a fairly rapid capacity in recent years, in line with that, many problems have arisen. To overcome these problems, it is necessary to test the results of an industrial product in order to determine the properties of the materials produced so that the results of a product can be used in accordance with good standards and quality. Testing is also useful in preventing harm to humans and the surrounding environment caused by breakdown of cable insulation. So that repeated tests are very good in the selection of conductors to be used. Every industrial product material before being used as part of an equipment, for example for transformer coils, must be tested based on predetermined standards. This is so that the dielectric properties of these materials can be known from the test results, so a conclusion will be drawn whether the material is suitable for use or not.

Published: July 2023

Different types of human labour in the contemporary era of globalization rely on electronic tools like 3-phase induction motors. The usage of a 3-phase induction motor in this investigation is essential for synchronized gait and function. Due to differences in the R, S, and T phase angles, which result in an uneven load overload in the electricity distribution system, voltage changes between the three phases of the electrical energy system arise. Overvoltage, Undervoltage, Unbalanced Inter-Phase Voltage (unbalance voltage), Overload (overload), and Overheat are a few of the issues that might arise. In response to this conflict, a three-phase induction motor protection system was developed.

Reptiles of Pune Urban Area - Increase or Decline?
Authors: Thakur Sanjay , Gaur-Broome Vivek
Published: July 2023

The reptiles in and around Pune are less documented compared to other vertebrates due to their cryptic nature. The first detailed records were reported by Underwood in 1948, listing 26 species, including 12 snake species. Since then, a few more publications, such as those by Chopra (1964), Khaire and Khaire (1985), and Ghatpande et al. (1990), have added to the list.

The current study is based on first-hand observations over the past ten years, reliable oral information, and literature. A total of 52 reptilian species have been documented, with about two-thirds being snakes. This is a significant increase compared to the records from the past. The high diversity in Pune can be attributed to its river and hill chains, which serve as corridors for reptile dispersal.

Habitat loss, mainly due to urbanization, poses a threat to nearly half of the reptilian species. Deforestation, grassland encroachment, and monoculture plantations are affecting different reptile species. Habitat degradation, such as excessive cattle grazing, fires, rock excavation, and pollution, also poses risks to various reptiles.

Human actions, including killing out of fear or superstitions, hunting for consumption and medicinal purposes, and venom extraction, have contributed to the decline of reptile populations. The study emphasizes the need for corrective measures, including habitat restoration, generating public awareness to reduce fear-driven killing, and conservation efforts to protect the reptiles in the area.

Gestational diabetes mellitus, often known as GDM, is a severe disorder that can occur during pregnancy. It has been linked to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future, in addition to stillbirth and birth malformations. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes has increased at an alarming rate over the past 20 years, with factors including ethnicity, sedentary lifestyles, and obesity all playing a role. Nevertheless, the pathology and management of the various kinds of diabetes are fundamentally distinct from one another. Both type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes have a pathogenesis that is very similar to one another. Because of this, a number of the management strategies for type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes are the same. These strategies include interventions that are centred on food. Education in diabetes self-management and medical nutrition therapy have both been advocated as cost-effective treatments for the control of hyperglycemia. However, the majority of these treatments were initially developed for people with type 2 diabetes and subsequently adapted for pregnant women with the condition.

For women with GDM, the challenge of achieving a healthy pregnancy and a satisfactory birth result necessitates a multidisciplinary approach and close provider teamwork. Pregnant women's education is one of the essential components for the effective management of GDM. It has been demonstrated that patient education enhances quality of life, encourages improved compliance, and lowers problems and medical expenses.

An automated nonblinded open peer review system is recommended considering the versatility of the information and communication technologies and the modern openness culture in scholarly communication. This new system will improve the participation of developing countries’ scholars in the review of scientific papers published in the mainstream journals, and thereby enhance their contribution in the international science scene.
Silent Religiosity in a Snivelling Nation: The Role of Religious Institutions in Promoting Post-conflict Reconciliation in Kenya
Authors: Susan M. Kilonzo
Published: July 2023

This article seeks to examine the role of religious institutions in peace building, prior to and after the 2007 post-elections violence in Kenya. The author builds an argument that supports the view that religious institutions have a role to play in peace building. Using Klopp’s (2002) conception about liberal versus illiberal nationalism, the author explains how religious institutions in Kenya can be a voice for the voiceless communities, especially during and after conflicts largelytriggered by the political leaders in the country. The arguments presented bring to the forefront the role that religious institutions play in post-conflict situations to reconcile diverse ethnic communities, and offer some lessons learned about post-conflict peace communication.

Analysis of Challenges and Opportunities for Small-Scale Farmers through Input Supply Programs in Zambia
Authors: Moonga Brian Mukubi , Qutieshat Abubaker
Published: July 2023

The objective of this study is to provide a review and recommendations on enhancing agricultural productivity among small-scale farmers in Zambia. The paper also evaluates how small-scale farmers can better access inputs, value-added services, marketing, and export markets.

This study is non-empirical and exploratory in nature with an extensive review of the literature. The paper analyzed small-scale farmers' access to finance, input supply, and high-value chain markets. The study also sought to understand the impact of lack of formal financial access on farmers’ welfare including their social lives.

One of the recommendations the researcher makes is the need for the government to decentralize farmer support programs to community level, and task the local leadership with the purchasing and distribution of inputs so as to maximize the reach of intended beneficiaries on time, and avoid the impact of delayed input distribution such as late planting of crops.

The research is a non-empirical study which relied on available literature to conduct research on this topic.
Teacher Trainers’ Readiness and Perceptions of Critical Thinking Instructional Practices in Morocco
Authors: Qasserras Mohammed , Qasserras Lhoussine
Published: July 2023

This study explores teacher trainers’ readiness and practices of critical thinking in the EFL classroom. A case study approach was set out to understand this phenomenon in depth, supported by a questionnaire to collect data. The findings indicated that teacher trainers are aware of the importance of incorporating critical thinking in their classrooms. However, the application of CR in the EFL classroom is still vague to the participants, as most of them did not receive any focused training on CR practice in the EFL classroom. Yet the lack of professional development, a well-rounded curriculum, and large classes are among the major obstacles that may prevent instructors from using this pedagogical element in their instructional practices.
Corruption and Poverty: The Nigerian Experience (1999–2021)
Authors: Arema Bunmi Israel , Ofoezie Kasie Emmanuel , Omoniyi Benjamin Badejo
Published: July 2023

The twin menace of corruption and poverty in Nigeria has been limiting the nation’s economic progress. This study, therefore, investigated the relationship between corruption and poverty in Nigeria with the objective of assessing their trends between 1999–2021 and investigating the relationship between them. The paper used both descriptive and inferential statistics. The stationarity properties of the variables of interest were assessed. Four (4) models were estimated in the paper. The paper found out that poverty has a positive and statistically significant impact on corruption in Nigeria while the impact of corruption on poverty is negative. This negative impact is not statistically significant. It was, therefore, recommended that governments at both the federal and state levels should concentrate more of their efforts on eradicating poverty in Nigeria through increase in economic growth, reduction in inflation and unemployment. In the face of rising level of poverty, every effort to fight corruption will be futile.
Psicanálise e transdisciplinaridade
Authors: Bastos Cesar , Gastaud Marina
Published: July 2023

Este artigo relembra o caminho trilhado pela psicanálise ao longo do tempo, para defender a ideia de que, desde seu início, utilizou-se de conhecimentos inter e transdisciplinares na arquitetura de sua teoria e de seu método terapêutico. Tal origem abre um caminho que deveria levar a psicanálise a estabelecer cada vez mais interações com as diversas disciplinas científicas e humanas, considerando a realidade organizada em diversos níveis. Essa “realidade ampliada” consiste na base da visão psicanalítica e transdisciplinar, pois o ser humano possui um funcionamento global, polidimensional, incluído de todas as suas circunstâncias. Aborda também a dificuldade percebida em alguns meios psicanalíticos de propiciar esses movimentos de abertura e integração a novos conhecimentos, o que contribui para a denominada “crise da psicanálise”. Exemplifica com questões como: na psicanálise, a abertura inter e transdisciplinar se assemelha ao que foi feito por Bowlby no desenvolvimento de sua teoria do apego.
escrita, o relato clínico e suas implicações éticas na cultura informatizada
Authors: Tanis Bernardo
Published: July 2023

O texto tece uma reflexão em torno de aspectos éticos nas publicações psicanalíticas no atual contexto. O trabalho aborda diferentes aspectos vinculados à escrita psicanalítica – gênero, estilo, narrativa, dimensão ficcional e outros. A natureza singular da pesquisa em psicanálise, método e ética clínica são tratados aqui em sua relação com a transformação no campo das publicações, devido à proliferação dos novos meios de publicação eletrônica e às exigências normativas dos principais indexadores.
Criação literária
Authors: Masina Léa
Published: July 2023

Este trabalho consiste em uma abordagem do processo de criação literária com vistas a examinar mudanças de paradigmas que se impõem à escrita e à leitura no século XXI. Serão relacionadas questões que afetam o processo criativo e as concepções de literatura e arte, tais como: tecnologia e influxo da mídia; globalização e multiculturalismo; apropriações textuais e interdisciplinaridade; memória subjetiva e canônica. Propõe-se refletir sobre a qualificação de textos literários, procedimentos do orientador e formação de escritores-leitores.
contemporâneo na função analítica
Authors: Rodrigues Ane Marlise Port , Gerchmann Augusta , Paixão Christiane Vecchi da , Anchieta Kellen Gurgel
Published: July 2023

Situando Totem e tabu como um trabalho de Freud com abrangência contemporânea, as autoras indagam-se sobre o sentido de estarem explicitadas na Relação de Membros da Febrapsi, sob o título Princípios Éticos da IPA, as proibições totêmicas. Consideram que analista e analisando, ao desenvolverem o processo analítico, entram num terreno escorregadio onde são mobilizados medos e paixões. O risco de transgressão da regra de abstinência envolve a dupla e requer que a interdição e a lei sejam reinstaladas constantemente. Diferenciam amor de transferência e transferência passional. Enfatizam que vivências de desamparo do analista e a não elaboração de dimensões narcísicas e edípicas de sua sexualidade infantil podem dificultar ou impedir a manutenção do enquadre interno e externo, necessários para assegurar a função analítica e o trabalho analítico.
Adoção e sofrimento psíquico
Authors: Levinzon Gina Khafif
Published: July 2023

Encontramos, algumas vezes, estados de intenso sofrimento psíquico em famílias ligadas pela adoção. Por sua condição inicial de desamparo, a criança se torna mais sensível às dificuldades ambientais às quais está submetida. Para os pais adotivos, há o desafio de criar um filho que não nasceu deles e que tem uma história anterior da qual não participaram. Algumas características inerentes ao processo de adoção exigem um esforço de adaptação maior do que nas famílias unidas pelo vínculo biológico: a experiência de separação de criança em relação à mãe com ligação genética, as marcas do abandono e do cuidado inicial deficiente, a esterilidade dos pais adotivos assim como suas angústias e expectativas em relação à criança. Esses temas são examinados a partir da análise de um caso clínico no qual a intrincada dinâmica familiar se entrelaçava com angústias relacionadas ao panorama de adoção, promovendo sofrimento psíquico em todos os integrantes da família. Michel, um menino de cinco anos, não podia separar-se da mãe adotiva e ter vida própria. Uma série de desenhos ilustra seu panorama psíquico e suas fantasias de ser o responsável pelo desaparecimento da mãe biológica e pelas doenças dos pais adotivos.
Os desafios da clínica
Authors: Costa Gley P.
Published: July 2023

O autor, que é membro fundador da Sociedade Brasileira de Psicanálise de Porto Alegre e realizou sua formação psicanalítica nos anos setenta na Sociedade Psicanalítica de Porto Alegre, enfatiza, neste trabalho, as diferenças nos desafios da clínica há 50 anos e no período atual, marcado pelo predomínio de problemáticas narcísicas, depressões e fenômenos limítrofes, que se mesclam ou se associam às patologias neuróticas da psicanálise tradicional. Como contribuição ao tema, propõe o modelo do palco para entender um largo espectro de patologias que vão além das resultantes da repressão, cujo tratamento visa restabelecer as funções egoicas que confiram ligação à pulsão, criando representações do objeto e do conflito no caminho da simbolização.
Encontros psicanalíticos virtuais com a criança
Authors: Busetti Luciana Zamboni
Published: July 2023

O artigo aborda o atendimento virtual de crianças no momento da pandemia. Descreve uma “sessão ou encontro virtual” e as vicissitudes desse processo. Propõe algumas reflexões quanto à técnica psicanalítica, bem como compreensões do desenvolvimento da criança, principalmente, no que se refere à latência. Precisaremos de tempo para ressignificar essa experiência de atendimento virtual na teoria da técnica psicanalítica.
Patologias do ser e patologias do ter
Authors: Costa Gley P.
Published: July 2023

Este é um estudo da clínica psicanalítica contemporânea à luz da evolução da teoria freudiana da angústia, a qual o autor divide em patologias do ser (não subjetivadas) e patologias do ter (subjetivadas), concluindo com considerações sobre o conceito de correntes psíquicas, quando o mesmo paciente apresenta funcionamentos psíquicos devido a diferentes pontos de fixação da libido, conforme referiu Freud no Caso Dora (1905) e no Homem dos Lobos (1918).
