Divulgación Científica y Plataformas Digitales: Caso de los Profesores de Comunicación en Tres Universidades Ecuatorianas
Authors: Ordóñez Castillo Gabriel Andrés , Montesdeoca Estrada Steven Jamphier , Henríquez Mendoza Eduardo Fabio , Santín Picoita Franklin Gustavo , Granda Cruz Carlos Antonio
Published: November 2024

Los informes académicos de investigación no solo deben socializarse en los espacios institucionales de educación, sino también darse a conocer a la sociedad en general mediante un lenguaje sencillo y accesible. Esta investigación se centra en analizar y comparar cómo se lleva a cabo la visibilidad de la divulgación científica en la Universidad Nacional de Loja, la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja y la Universidad de Cuenca, y cuál ha sido su impacto en las plataformas digitales Academia.edu y Google Scholar. El estudio permitió identificar los canales de visibilidad de la divulgación científica empleados por los profesores de las carreras de Comunicación. Se utilizó una metodología mixta, combinando la observación web con entrevistas in situ en las tres instituciones. Los resultados revelaron que LinkedIn es la red social más utilizada por los docentes para la divulgación de su trabajo, seguida por ResearchGate y, en menor medida, por Academia.edu. Se concluye que los docentes suelen publicar al menos una vez al año, aunque la mayoría no ha recibido capacitación sobre cómo divulgar adecuadamente en medios digitales. A pesar de esta limitación, las tres universidades han logrado tener una presencia significativa en la web.

On Architecture and the Greenfield
Authors: Ghosh Swarnabh , Tavares Paulo , Herscher Andrew , León Ana María , Topalović Milica
Published: November 2024

In the face of the ongoing climate emergency, can humanity keep chipping at its food sheds via urbanization? This is the paradoxical question raised by residential forms of urbanization: On the one hand, housing settlements across the world devour thousands of hectares of arable fields at the periphery of growing cities. On the other hand, housing is a human right. This publication investigates these complexities. After On Architecture and Greenwashing (2024), it is the second volume in the series The Political Economy of Space and presents a cross-section of positions on architecture and its political economies from different perspectives.
Volcano: Anger and Rage in Sandplay Therapy
Authors: Harb Juanita
Published: November 2024

This paper is about the sandplay therapy of a 4-year-old boy, in which the symbolic image of the volcano is examined and evidences itself as a part of his healing process. Attachment, aggression, behavioral issues, and defenses are seen through a young boy's internalized anger and rage. The volcano as symbolic image encompasses attachment, bonding, neglect, as reflected in the constellated behavior of aggression toward others. Like deep subterranean movements, major life changes can cause deep psychic and visceral subducting disruptions that have the potential to shift one's defensive structuring. Defenses reflect the health or defensive blocks within the "volcanic human psyche." The volcano as symbol contains the transformative spark of fire that can initiate change, regenerate and transform. The author discusses the symbolic relation of the volcano to historical, archeological, and cross-cultural roots that trace back to the formation of the planet.

Jasmin, Thirteen Sandplays: From Divination to Archetype
Authors: Steinhardt Lenore F.
Published: November 2024

"Jasmin" was the mother of a young son when she began a 3-year art therapy process, with 13 sandplays spaced out between her paintings. Both of her parents had psychiatric illnesses and divorced when Jasmin was 8 years old. To protect her own family she avoided contact with them. When her son asked who took care of her when she was a child, her intense emotional response to his question brought her to therapy. Her parents had suffered childhood traumas of different kinds, and their cultures differed. Her father was Ashkenazi and spoke Yiddish. Her mother's Sephardic North African family influenced Jasmin's upbringing, including customary Turkish coffee-mud fortune telling. She may have viewed her sand creations through this cultural lens, reading her sandplays to find her fortune. Her repetitive pattern of work in the sand tray began on the vertical axis, moving and changing her sand forms, moving around the tray, or moving the sandtray itself. She used almost no objects as she sculpted the sand gently as if guided by an unconscious early memory of her mother's gentle touch. Two sandplays done on the horizontal axis of the sand tray accessed the feminine nurturing archetype, bestowing inner strength to manage her relationships with her parents and build a happy home.
A Closed Letter and an Open Letter: On Dreams and Sandplay Scenes
Authors: Troudart Michal
Published: November 2024

In this paper I would like to compare working with dreams in Jungian analysis with working on the "waking dreams" that are created in the sandbox in sandplay therapy. Both dreams and sandplay scenes speak to us in a symbolic language, delivering messages from the Self through images. In Jungian analysis we usually ask our patients to write down their dreams, which we then discuss together in the sessions. However, in sandplay therapy we abstain from discussing or interpreting the images during the process, and sometimes we delay interpretation until long after the termination of the therapeutic process. I will explore the similarities and the differences between messages from the unconscious received through dreams and those received through sandplay therapy. I will discuss the question of whether and how these methods contradict or complement each other in the process of individuation, and how they are combined in therapy. I will present and discuss two clinical vignettes of patients who built a sand scene following a dream.

How Do Adults Experience Sandplay Therapy? an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
Authors: Stănescu Dan Florin
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study was to explore the conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings clients have about their experience of therapy and the therapeutic relationship in sandplay therapy using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). IPA is a systematic qualitative method that examines the way people make sense of their significant life experiences. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted individually with 4 adults who engaged in at least 10 sandplay therapy sessions. Following the IPA process, the interviews were analyzed in detail by case, then general narrative themes were extracted. Five themes emerged: thoughts and feelings on the first session, sandplay personal meaning, unveiling the process, insights/epiphanies, therapist role and therapeutic relationship. The emergent themes identified help practitioners to better understand the experiences of sandplay therapy clients. Furthermore, findings complement the theories stating that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is paramount.
The Archetype of Integrity: Ethics in Sandplay Therapy
Authors: Cunningham Linda
Published: November 2024

Delving into the archetype of integrity, the ethics of depth psychotherapy and the Buddhist practices of the Ten Paramitas, this article explores psychological and spiritual wellsprings of ethical decision-making that honor both masculine and feminine principles. Ethical decision-making requires knowledge of laws and professional standards, a willingness to explore our own deeper shadow material which frequently comes to our attention in the form of countertransference, and constant attention to our highest aspirations that reach beyond the ethical imperative to "do no harm." The archetype of integrity is grounded in the feminine and mirrors a connection with the Self.

Selective mutism has been a growing issue for young children worldwide and is now categorized an anxiety disorders. These chindren's resistance to speaking or responding to any person outside of their own familial world of comfort is formidable. In this article the author observes important symbols and phases in a young girl's sandplay therapy process. The author also considers the significance of silent witnessing as well as mutism in mythology. During the therapeutic process, the therapist's silent holding and attentive presence contributed to the young girl's increased ego strength.

Jill Kaplan interviewed Tessamarie Capitolo, long-time member of STA and ISST, who has recently retired from her psychotherapy practice. Tessamarie Capitolo recounts that her early love of play developed as she was growing up in Trinidad with a large extended family. Her early encounter with sandplay and Dora Kalff changed the course of her professional career. It was while she was in Switzerland that she first saw the Black Madonna of Einsiedeln, an iconic figure and symbol about which she wrote and often taught. Tessamarie Capitolo has been instrumental for years in the STA community promoting diversity and training many sandplay therapists through the counseling agency she and her husband, David Capitolo, founded in Marin County, California.
The Starfish as Symbol and Its Multiple Meanings in Sandplay Therapy
Authors: Rosin Daphna
Published: November 2024

The author explores the symbolic image of the starfish through the clinical material of a woman in her mid-thirties who sought therapy at an unsettling phase of her life when she found herself to be overwhelmed as she was moving in multiple professional directions. The client was also dealing with confusing sexual identity questions. During her sandplay therapy the starfish became an important symbol that accompanied her through her sandplay process and as she found her individual way in everyday life. Five-armed starfish are unique in their multiple symbolic meanings, derived first and foremost from their biological characteristics, which may symbolically assist psychic transformation: regeneration (self-healing and rebirth), ecological regulation (self-balance) and hermaphroditism (uniting the opposites). No less significant is the symbolism of their shape, a five-pointed star, bearing multiple meanings within itself as a pentagram (bodily image), the number 5 (quintessence) and a celestial star (guidance and numinosity). The alchemists often saw it as the lapis philosophorum—a symbol of the Self.
Complex Trauma: A Child's Journey From Denial to Acceptance
Authors: Raftopoulos Mary
Published: November 2024

The author describes and discusses the psychotherapy of a 10-year-old girl whose profound experiences of complex trauma were transformed in the context of a positive therapeutic relationship. With 2 years of treatment the child became increasingly conscious of the neglect and abuse she had suffered. Eventually she was able to let go of the denial and other defenses of the self which had served as an attempt to protect her from overwhelming feelings and led to her presentation of a false self. With time she expressed and integrated her suffering. She developed ego strength and became a more embodied, authentic and creative young adult.
No Witch in This Town: From Devouring to Nurturing Energies
Authors: Frawley Jacinta
Published: November 2024

The author presents an illustrated long-term sandplay process with an initially self-harming, highly anxious and fearful four-year-old girl. The author argues for the integrative benefits of slow, repetitive sessions that tolerate long periods of destructive, messy, and wild play. The value of the therapist modelling consistent therapeutic boundaries, maintaining a strong alliance with the primary caregiver and embodying hope at difficult times is described. The therapeutic process begins in chaos and distress, a little girl "beside herself," and culminates, after 90 sessions, including 65 sandtrays over almost three years, in the development of a functioning ego-Self axis represented in the final sandplay pictures.

In addition, David Capitolo discusses the creation of the Child Therapy Institute, which he founded with his wife, Tessamarie.
Beyond the Alchemical Black, White, (Yellow) and Red: Journey toward Wholeness via the Sacred Marriage
Authors: Ehlers Lynne L.
Published: November 2024

C. G. Jung contended that the work of the ancient alchemists was a metaphor for the process of individuation, and that the four colors, black, white, yellow and red that the alchemists reported seeing in their vessels±—termed after their Latin alchemical equivalents, nigredo, albedo, citrinitas and rubedo, respectively—represented stages of psychological development. The psychological meaning of these four colors is explored in depth, with emphasis on the final stage—the coniunctio or Sacred Marriage of the white and the red as complementary pair. Corroboration for this pair is found worldwide and across time: in the Chinese concept of Yin and Yang, the Indian Tantric Yoga system of ida and pingala nadis, and in the physiology of the right and left hemispheres in the human brain. Additionally, four sand scenes, representative of the four color-stages during the healing journey of a woman in a long-term therapy, are analyzed.
Assisted Sandplay Therapy: Bridging the Way for Persons with Physical Disabilities
Authors: Dermott David M.
Published: November 2024

This article focuses on an adaptation that Dr. Dermott has developed in working with clients who have lost the use of their bodies in some way that renders impossible their direct work in the sand. He presents this adaptation, which he refers to as "Assisted Sandplay," by describing its use in the sandplay process of a young woman with cerebral palsy. The author underscores the necessity of providing the "free and protected space" (Kalff, 1966/2020) of the sandplay experience to those clients with a physical or medical condition, which limits or prevents them from participating in sandplay therapy. With assistance, sandplay can restore or provide the individual's ability to truly play in the freedom and protection that only occurs outside of ordinary life, bringing the potential for healing. Dr. Dermott believes that the experience that he gained through his relationships with clients who have benefited from assistance in their sandplay due to their physical disabilities has helped increase his ability to be in the "free and protected space" with his clients and when essential—"share my hands."
When Body Reconnects with Soma: Sandplay Therapy in Psychosomatic Disorders
Authors: Giza-Zwierzchowska Agata
Published: November 2024

This article is a study of two psychotherapy vignettes of children with trauma related psychosomatic disorders using sandplay therapy. "Conrad," age 8, appeared in my office after he had started to discover bruises and scratches on his skin in the mornings. He also had symptoms of asthma and anxiety disorder presenting as a sense of contact with "ghosts." During his three years of analysis he often used dragon figurines; the symbols of the dragon and dinosaur are explored in this article. "John," age 6, appeared in my office because his parents had noticed that he had been behaving aggressively towards his peers. During the process of John's psychotherapy, over time it became clear to me that he suffered from secondary post-traumatic disorder whose original cause was somatic. Both boys were deeply traumatized. The discussion includes some aspects of the transference and countertransference and the process of symbol transformation in sandplay therapy, which proved to be crucial in the psychotherapy of trauma in with both children.
The Alchemical Sacred Marriage: A Woman's Sandplay Journey to Wholeness
Authors: Ehlers Lynne L.
Published: November 2024

C. G. Jung contended that the work of the ancient Western alchemists was a metaphor for the process of individuation, and that the three colors, black, white, and red that the alchemists reported seeing in their vessels—termed after their Latin alchemical equivalents, nigredo, albedo, and rubedo, respectively—represented stages of psychological development. This contention was empirically tested and corroborated in the author's 1992 dissertation on the colors in her dreams over a 14-year period, and further corroborated in the sandplay clinical material of a woman whose off-and-on therapy spanned 22 years. The treatment included three stages: Phase I (nigredo to albedo); Phase II (albedo to rubedo); Phase III (nigredo to the Sacred Marriage of the albedo and rubedo). This article is an expansion of Dr. Lynne Ehlers's "Beyond the Alchemical Black, White, (Yellow) and Red: Journey Toward Wholeness via the Sacred Marriage" published in this Journal. The author also presented on this theme at the 26th International Society for Sandplay Therapy Congress in Jerusalem, Israel.

The Model of Political Education from the Perspective of Muslim and Non-Muslim Thinkers
Authors: Sharifat Latif , Mashinchi Aliasghar , Ghaltash Abbas , Hashemi Seyed Ahmad
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study is to present a model of political education from the perspective of both Muslim and non-Muslim thinkers, emphasizing the philosophical views of Martyr Morteza Motahari and John Dewey concerning political education. The research method is qualitative, employing deductive content analysis. Using a descriptive-interpretive approach, the study analyzes the philosophical foundations of political education. The statistical population of this research includes the content analysis of all books and resources written on the topic of political education. The sampling method is purposive sampling. To examine validity, the criterion of credibility was used, and for reliability, the criterion of dependability was employed. The results of open or initial coding of the political education ideas of Muslim philosophers indicate that 38 initial concepts were extracted through open coding. After determining the open codes and axial categories, selective coding was performed. The findings revealed that the ideas of Islamic philosophers regarding political education are based on epistemological political education, participatory orientation, Sharia-oriented education, justice-centeredness, and unity-centeredness. Furthermore, the results of open or initial coding of the political education ideas of non-Muslim philosophers show that 43 initial concepts were obtained through open coding. After identifying the open codes and axial categories, selective coding was conducted, demonstrating that the political education thoughts of non-Muslim philosophers are based on awareness-raising, voluntarism, and social orientation. Overall, referencing these results can serve as a significant and effective step in explaining a model of political education within the education system so that students are educated with a focus on political values.
Designing the Inner Relationships Between Dimensions of Verbal Hypnosis in Workplace Relations of Government Organizations Using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM)
Authors: Karimian Neda , Kia Kojouri Davood , Rahmaty Maryam , Ahmadi kumars
Published: November 2024

Verbal hypnosis has the capability to unconsciously change an individual’s behavior, so much so that the person believes they have altered their opinion willingly. This allows for bypassing all conscious resistance to suggestions and persuasion. The primary aim of this study is to design the inner relationships between the dimensions of verbal hypnosis in workplace relations within government organizations using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM). In this research, using purposive sampling, 15 experts in the fields of public management and organizational behavior who had made significant contributions to verbal hypnosis and communication were selected as the research sample. The inner relationships between the study components were identified using the ISM method. The findings revealed that the dimension of alignment and synchronization with the audience’s experience and emotions serves as the foundation of the model, influencing all other dimensions. It is considered the cornerstone of verbal hypnosis in workplace relations and a fundamental element in performing its tasks. At the intermediate level, the dimension of diversion and ambiguity in the conscious mind of the audience is situated, and at the final level, access to the audience's unconscious mind is located, influenced by the two previous dimensions. Verbal hypnosis can equip employees with essential skills for effective interpersonal interactions. Such initiatives can enhance not only individual performance but also the overall organizational culture.
Abstract Beauty in Education
Authors: Dehghan Manshadi Amir Hossein , Mashinchi Ali Asghar , Ghaltash Abbas , Hashemi Seyed Ahmad
Published: November 2024

Given the conducted studies, little research has been carried out on the attention to abstract beauty in education. Additionally, there are studies in which discussions related to aesthetics and beauty in religious education have been largely overlooked. This is despite the fact that the presence of beauty, in both its tangible and abstract forms, is clearly evident as an inseparable element in religious teachings and the daily lives of Muslims throughout various historical periods. From this perspective, the history of Islam is replete with the creation of sensory beauty in arts such as calligraphy, painting, tilework, and architecture, as well as abstract beauty in the daily activities of Muslims and their interactions with other communities. Muslim philosophers, following the introduction of Greek philosophical works into Islamic territories, developed notable theories on Islamic aesthetics as part of their philosophical systems. Despite these details, Islamic aesthetics has not been adequately integrated into Islamic education, nor has the impact of Quranic teachings, as the most authentic and definitive religious text in Islam, been clearly established in the works of Islamic scholars.

Actor-Critic Convolutional Neural Network-Based Centralized Computation Offloading for Vehicular Edge Networks
Authors:   , Ouyang Xuan , Zhang XueXue
Published: November 2024

Efficient computation offloading is essential for addressing the growing demand for low-latency, computation-intensive applications in vehicular edge networks. Existing approaches, including traditional optimization techniques and reinforcement learning-based methods, often struggle to cope with the highly dynamic network environments and the complex task dependencies characterized by Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs). To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel centralized Actor-Critic Convolutional Neural Network-based Offloading Computation (ACCOC) algorithm. By leveraging the Actor-Critic framework enhanced with convolutional layers, ACCOC efficiently handles high-dimensional task offloading decisions, balancing delay and energy consumption under dynamic network conditions. The proposed algorithm is evaluated in a realistic vehicular edge computing environment with varying numbers of users, bandwidth availability, and edge server computational capabilities. Simulation results reveal that ACCOC achieves superior performance compared to baseline methods, including a non-convolutional Actor-Critic algorithm, Deep Q-Network (DQN), and random or fully local execution strategies. Specifically, ACCOC demonstrates faster convergence and higher system utility, achieving an average reward of 0.78 compared to 0.72 for the non-convolutional baseline. Furthermore, the algorithm maintains robust performance across diverse parameter settings, highlighting its scalability and adaptability.
