Мистецтво Прикарпаття та впровадження народознавчого компоненту у регіональну освіту
Authors: ОСТРОВСЬКА Галина
Published: December 2023

For Ukrainians today, more than ever, it is important to defend their independence, to convey their unique national image to the whole world, to preserve the heritage of their national culture. Since ancient times, through art, Ukrainians have transmitted the code of national consciousness and culture to their descendants. One of the ways of assimilation of national traditions is the study of art and their reflection in one's own creativity. The art of Prykarpattia is famous for Hutsul ceramics and wood carvings, in which artists reveal their love for their native land and faith as components of the Ukrainian mentality. A brief review of the work of folk artists was conducted and the possibilities for the implementation of the local history component in school practice were outlined.
FORMS OF EXPERIMENTAL POETRY IN THE CENTRAL EUROPEAN CONTEXT SINCE THE 1960s
Authors: Mitka Marek
Published: December 2023

In the present study, the author deals with the literary-historical and poetological circumstances of the notion of experimental poetry, noting this type of writing mainly in Slovak and Czech literature but against the broader background of Polish and Hungarian literature, i.e., in the Central European context. In particular, the author reflects on the communicability of texts constructed in this way. He chooses the 1960s as the initial period of his observations, but he also notes the experimental tendencies in poetry that preceded the 1960s, and at the same time, he moves from the 1960s to the 1990s and the developments in (Slovak) literature after the year 2000. From Slovak literature in the 1960s, he pays particular attention to the experimental work of M. Adamčiak, and from the most recent Slovak literature, he reflects on the work of P. Macsovszky and K. Zbruž. From a developmental point of view, the author focuses primarily on the significant influence of Czech literature on Slovak literature in the 1960s – especially the influence of the texts of L. Novák and V. Havel. The author also creatively builds on the metatexts of some literary scholars or creatively polemicises with their findings or further conjectures them (K. Ihringová, V. Křivánek, J. Šrank, M. Součková and others).
SLAVONIC CULTURE IN THE TRANSYLVANIAN PART OF THE KINGDOM OF HUNGARY, FROM THE 15TH TO THE EARLY 16TH CENTURY
Authors: Tărîță Marius
Published: December 2023

In Transylvania, part of the Hungarian Kingdom in the 15th century, a Slavonic cultural evolution existed despite the political domination of the Hungarian aristocracy and the towns of the Saxes. Even if the Romanians (Olachs, Vallachs) and other Eastern Christian groups had no political representation, several cultural centres existed. The main areas were north of Transylvania in Maramureș (where there was even a concurrence between the Romanians and Ruthenians supported by the hierarchy in Mukachevo), especially the monastery Peri, in Banat, it was at the Bodrog monastery, the Romanian districts in Southern Transylvania (e.g., Haczak/Hațeg), in Feleac since the second part of the 15th century and also in several villages. The last one is also illustrated by heritage as the manuscript from 1511 copied in Bîrgău by priest Mikhail. Several catalogues of Transylvanian Slavonic manuscripts were published during the second part of the 20th century. Among the editors were I. Iufu, Ch. Pistrui, T. Bojan. Valuable studies were written by M. Dan and O. Filipoiu (focusing on cultural relations between Moldavia and Transylvania) and R. Popa (dedicated to the history of Maramureș). An important hypothesis on Romanian culture in Transylvania belongs to A.A. Rusu (1999). The Slavonic cultural areas in Transylvania had cultural contacts with Moldavia and a less studied topic with Wallachia. As a result, the Slavonic manuscripts in Transylvania even have specific differences besides their Moldavian models (especially from Neamț monastery). The topic is still open for researchers, and among the important issues is establishing the affiliation to a Slavonic handwriting school or style (besides the possible local eclectics).

The text focuses on cooperation between the leaders of the Belarusian and the Lithuanian national movements in Vilna (Vilnius) during the Revolution of 1905–1907, reflected, in particular, on the pages of the first Belarusian newspapers published since 1906 in Vilna. Belarusian activists often spoke on behalf of Belarus and Lithuania, thus continuing the historical tradition of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, in the revival of which they saw the future of Belarus and Lithuania.
DOBRA ŚMIERĆ CHRZEŚCIJANINA OCZAMI SOPHIE DE SÉGUR (1799–1874)
Authors: Bańczyk Alicja
Published: December 2023

This paper attempts to analyse how Sophie de Ségur (1799–1874) performed the mission of spreading the Catholic faith through children’s literature. The biography of this Russian woman who converted to Catholicism is presented at the beginning, together with her connections with the Ultramontane environment being active in nineteenth-century France. This is to prove that de Ségur’s writing activities were part of a planned programme aimed at shaping society in the spirit of Catholicism. The analysis is carried out on the examples of how she presented scenes of a good Catholic death in three novels for children: "Les vacances, Jean qui grogne et Jean qui rit and La sœur Gribouille". The study is divided into three parts: the death of the mother, the death of the child, and the death of the sinner, according to the criterion whose death was described. It is shown that in de Ségur’s perspective, a good death is a reward for a good and pious life. The social aspect of death and good preparation for it are also important.

Authors: Santos Pablo Mattos , Stieg Ronildo , Barcelos Marciel , Ferreira Neto Amarílio , Santos Wagner dos
Published: December 2023

La cultura de los exámenes aplicados a gran escala es cada vez más recurrente en los sistemas educativos de diferentes países, desde la educación básica hasta la educación superior. Por lo tanto, el campo académico de las evaluaciones ha indicado la necesidad de profundizar en las discusiones acerca de estas evaluaciones. En ese caso, el artículo tiene como objetivo analizar cuáles son los exámenes estandarizados nacionales destinados a estudiantes de educación secundaria en países de América y Europa que evalúan la Educación Física. Concretamente, se dedica a comprender y comparar los años de su creación e implementación en la Educación Física, así como los contenidos evaluados. De carácter cualitativo, se configura como una investigación documental y exploratoria basada en los documentos oficiales de 10 exámenes aplicados en 21 países. Los resultados muestran tres aspectos importantes: a) la cultura de los exámenes se ha formado a lo largo de más de dos siglos, comenzando en los países europeos; b) la inclusión de la Educación Física en estos exámenes se ha dado de forma paulatina, aunque tardía; c) la forma de entender el área y los contenidos evaluados tienen algunas similitudes, principalmente en el énfasis que se da al deporte.
En conclusión, la mayoría de estos exámenes están diseñados para proporcionar una calificación y certificación profesional que permita al alumnado continuar sus estudios en la educación superior. Además, existen iniciativas para dar importancia a componentes curriculares como la Educación Física en las políticas nacionales de evaluación, lo que refuerza cuestionamientos sobre las intenciones subyacentes a estos exámenes en cada contexto particular, especialmente en el conjunto de países que conforman los continentes americano y europeo.
Long-term trends of infant mortality rates in post-socialist EU countries
Authors: Sutlović Julijan , Graovac Matassi Vera
Published: December 2023

Motives: Post-socialist European countries experienced significant political turmoil and economic and social changes in the late 1980s and the early 1990s due to regime change. These changes had a profound impact on their subsequent socioeconomic and demographic development. Since infant mortality rates (IMRs) are closely related to socio-economic changes, this study was undertaken to determine whether these changes affected IMRs in the transitional period.Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in IMRs in eleven post-socialist European countries that are currently European Union (EU) members, and to compare IMRs in these countries with the remaining EU Member States. The changes in the slope of the IMR trend line were determined by a joinpoint regression analysis. The influence of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita based on purchasing power parity (PPP) on IMRs in all EU countries was also examined.Results: It was found that the collapse of the socialist regime increased IMRs in post-socialist EU countries, and that contrary to other EU Member States, the changes in GDP per capita PPP continue to have a significant impact on IMRs in post-socialist EU countries.

Authors: Popov Andriy , Kolodiy Pavlo , Zadorogniy Yurii
Published: December 2023

Motives: Land is the most vital resource that meets basic human needs. There are several mechanisms for achieving the goals of sustainable administration and management of land resources, and the cadastral system is the key mechanism. In most developing countries, the procedures for monitoring the performance of cadastral systems are inadequate or non-existent. Ukraine is not an exception in this respect, and this issue is largely disregarded in the domestic literature.Aim: The objective of the study was to establish an evaluation framework that relies on globally recognized best practices and their corresponding indicators. The main aim of the framework is to measure and assess the effectiveness of Ukraine’s cadastral system.Results: The evaluation methodology consisted of four stages: an analysis of evaluation indicators, identification of international best practices, identification of performance gaps in the cadastral system, and the development of a summary profile based on a SWOT analysis. The cadastral system was evaluated based on indicators within five domains: political, management, operational levels, external factors, and the review process.
Nieudana wyprawa Augusta II przeciwko Turcji w 1698 roku. Stosunek prymasa Michała Radziejowskiego do wydarzeń kampanii podhajeckiej i antysaskiego tumultu w Brzeżanach
Authors: Kowalski Rafał
Published: December 2023

W artykule przedstawiono okoliczności, które doprowadziły do niepowodzenia wyprawy wojennej Augusta II przeciwko Turcji w 1698 r. Po zakończeniu kampanii w obozie armii koronnej pod Brzeżanami wybuchł tumult o wyraźnie antysaskim charakterze. Inicjatorem zajścia, które nieomal doprowadziło do starcia zbrojnego między wojskiem koronnym a saskim, był starosta krasnostawski Michał Potocki, syn hetmana polnego koronnego Szczęsnego Kazimierza Potockiego. August II był przekonany, że Potocki dopuścił się obrazy majestatu, a całe wydarzenie stanowiło zalążek buntu poddanych przeciwko jego władzy. W wyniku zajścia w niełaskę królewską popadł nie tylko inicjator tumultu starosta krasnostawski, ale również inni przedstawiciele familii Potockich. W opracowaniu przedstawiono takżestosunek prymasa Michała Radziejowskiego do opisanych wydarzeń. Opozycyjnie nastawiony do królaRadziejowski podejmował niejednokrotnie starania w celu polubownego zakończenia „sprawy Michała Potockiego”.
Between cooperation and conflict : Mykhailo Hrushevskyi through the eyes of Polish intellectuals of the late 19th and early 20th centuries
Authors: Telvak Vitalii , Telvak Viktoria , Yanyshyn Bohdan
Published: December 2023

This article reconstructs Polish intellectuals’ interpretations of M. Hrushevskyi’s multifaceted activities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The evolution of Polish scholars’ attitudes towards Hrushevskyi;s concepts was examined in two main periods. The first period (late 1890s) was predominantly scientific, and it centered primarily on finding the most acceptable solutions to the presented issues. The second period (early 20th century) brought a substantial radicalization of Ukrainian and Polish national movements and led to the deterioration of Polish-Ukrainian relations in Eastern Galicia and the politicization of the historiographic discourse. At the same time, Polish scholars began to associate Hrushevskyi’s historiographic concepts with the conceptual framework of Ukrainian historical research during that period. The politicization of the Ukrainian-Polish historiographical discourse in the early 20th century reflected the general tension in the relations between the two neighboring nations on the eve of World War I. A dialogue metamorphosed into a monologue with the sole purpose of accumulating national grievances, which significantly obstructed the path to mutual understanding, as illustrated by the tragic events in our shared history in the first half of the 20th century.
Administracja wyznaniowa wobec starań diecezji warmińskiej o budowę kościoła – Pomnika Tysiąclecia w Elblągu w latach 1965–1976
Authors: Krupa Andrzej
Published: December 2023

W 1965 r. episkopat Polski wystąpił z inicjatywą budowy kościołów – pomników tysiąclecia państwowości polskiej. We wniosku dotyczącym diecezji warmińskiej rządca diecezji bp Tomasz Wilczyński wskazał Elbląg jako miejsce budowy kościoła – Pomnika Tysiąclecia. Administracja wyznaniowa województwa gdańskiego, a także istniejącego od połowy 1975 r. województwa elbląskiego nie wyraziła na to zgody. Odrzucono uzasadnienie inwestycji koniecznością zaspokojenia potrzeb religijnych w rozwijającym się mieście. Negatywne decyzje uzasadniano ograniczeniami materiałowymi i wykonawczymi. Zwlekano równocześnie z udzieleniem odpowiedzi. W 1970 r. dostrzeżono możliwość nierozpatrywania wniosku ze względu na domniemane braki formalne. Gdańska administracja wyznaniowa jednocześnie nie powiadomiła o ich stwierdzeniu wnioskodawcy. Budowę kościoła ostatecznie zablokowano, wykorzystując dokumenty planistyczne z zakresu rozwoju gospodarczego i zagospodarowania przestrzennego.

Published: December 2023

The aluminosilicate clay minerals (Al2Si2O5(OH)4·nH2O) known to exist in nature are called halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). HNTs, which are found in layered, spherical, flat and other forms, can be obtained naturally as well as synthetically. HNTs with an outer diameter of 50 nm and a length ranging from 500 to 1000 nm have a hollow and nanotube-shaped structure. It has natural deposits in Brazil, Turkey, New Zealand, China, the United States, Korea, Japan, and France, and it is a low-cost material that can be obtained through ore purification. Thanks to their high surface area, large pore volume, rheological properties, high interactions, and high binding capacities with biopolymers, HNTs are used in a wide range of areas. For example, HNTs have become a frequently used material in environmental applications such as wastewater treatment and removal of organic contaminants and dyes. It is also used in the production of nanoelectronics and nanocomposites, catalytic studies, flame retardants in make-up materials, forensic sciences and biomedical fields. The specific properties of HNT used in the biomedical field lead to numerous applications. In this review, it is aimed to present the advantages of HNTs for use in drug delivery systems, immune therapy, anti-infection applications, cancer therapy, bioimaging, biosensing applications, tissue engineering applications, implants and hygiene-cosmetics materials.

Published: December 2023

Giriş ve Amaç:

Tiroid fonksiyon bozukluğu, Hashimoto tiroiditi (HT) hastalarında kardiyovasküler hastalık (KVH) riskini artırdığı bilinmektedir. Ancak henüz tiroid fonksiyon bozukluğu gelişmemiş ötiroid HT hastalarında KVH riski ile ilgili veriler yetersizdir. Biz çalışmamızda asimetrik dimetilarjinin (ADMA), simetrik dimetil arjinin (SDMA), N-monometil-L-arjinin (L-NMMA), Arginine and Citrulline düzeylerinin bu riskin erken belirteçleri olarak kullanılıp kullanılamayacağını araştırmayı amaçladık.

Gereç ve Yöntemler:

Tiroid antikor pozitifliği ve ultrasonografik bulgularla HT tanısı alan, tiroid fonksiyon bozukluğu olmayan 65 pubertal kadın hasta ve 70 sağlıklı kontrol çalışmamıza dahil edildi. Gruplar arasında kan basıncı düzeyleri, tiroid fonksiyon testi verileri, tiroid antikor düzeyleri ve inflamatuar parametreler ile ADMA, SDMA, L-NMMA, Arjinin ve Sitrüllin düzeyleri karşılaştırıldı ve ADMA, SDMA, L-NMMA, Arjinin ve Sitrüllin düzeylerinin diğer KVH belirteçleriyle ilişkileri belirlendi.

Bulgular :

Hasta grubunda TSH, anti-TPO, anti-Tg ve ADMA değerleri yüksek saptanırken; sitrülin, arjinin ve arjinin/ADMA değerleri düşük olarak saptandı. Hasta grubunda ADMA ile SDMA, L-NMMA, sT3, total kolesterol, LDL, trigliserit, bel çevresi/kalça çevresi ve VKİ SSS değerleri arasında anlamlı pozitif korelasyon gözlenirken, arjinin/ADMA değerleri ile anlamlı negatif korelasyon saptandı.

Sonuç:

Çalışmamızda ötiroid Hashimoto tiroiditli hastalarda; erken dönemde, ADMA düzeylerinde artış saptandı. ADMA’nın antropometrik ölçümler, metabolik parametreler, SDMA ve L-NMMA ile olan ilişkileri nedeni ile ötiroid HT’li hastalarda KVH risk belirteci olarak kullanılabilir. Ancak daha büyük örneklem büyüklüğüne sahip ileri çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

BACKGROUND: Endoscopy-assisted breast conserving surgery (E-BCS) was developed over 10 years ago as a method for breast cancer treatment with the potential advantage of less noticeable scarring. However, the evidence supporting its superiority over conventional breast conserving surgery (C-BCS) remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to compare the outcomes of E-BCS and C-BCS for the treatment of early breast cancer. METHODS: A comprehensive search for relevant articles was performed using specific keywords in Medline, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane Library PubMed up to October 17th, 2022. Clinical trials that compared E-BCS with C-BCS in early breast cancer patients were collected. RESULTS: Our analysis of nine studies revealed that E-BCS was associated with shorter incision length [Mean Difference (MD) −6.50 cm (95% CI −10.75, −2.26), p = 0.003, I2 = 99%] and higher cosmetic score [MD 2.69 (95% CI 1.46, 3.93), p < 0.0001, I2 = 93%] compared with C-BCS. However, E-BCS had a longer operation time [MD 35.95 min (95% CI 19.12, 52.78), p < 0.0001, I2 = 93%] and greater drainage volume [MD 62.91 mL (95% CI 2.55, 123.27), p = 0.04, I2 = 79%]. There was no significant difference in blood loss volume (p = 0.06), drainage duration (p = 0.28), postoperative complications (p = 0.69), or local recurrence (p = 0.59) between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that E-BCS offers a shorter incision length and better cosmetic outcome compared with C-BCS in the treatment of early breast cancer. However, E-BCS requires a longer operation time and has greater drainage volume. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Nowadays, the massive industrial data has effectively improved the performance of the data-driven deep learning Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction method. However, there are still problems of assigning fixed weights to features and only coarse-grained consideration at the sequence level. This paper proposes a Transformer-based end-to-end feature-level mask self-supervised learning method for RUL prediction. First, by proposing a fine-grained feature-level mask self-supervised learning method, the data at different time points under all features in a time window is sent to two parallel learning streams with and without random masks. The model can learn more fine-grained degradation information by comparing the information extracted by the two parallel streams. Instead of assigning fixed weights to different features, the abstract information extracted through the above process is invariable correlations between features, which has a good generalization to various situations under different working conditions. Then, the extracted information is encoded and decoded again using an asymmetric structure, and a fully connected network is used to build a mapping between the extracted information and the RUL. We conduct experiments on the public C-MAPSS datasets and show that the proposed method outperforms the other methods, and its advantages are more obvious in complex multi-working conditions.

Parliamentary and legislative debate transcripts provide an informative insight into elected politicians’ opinions, positions, and policy preferences. They are interesting for political and social sciences as well as linguistics and natural language processing (NLP) research. While exiting research studied individual parliaments, we apply advanced NLP methods to a joint and comparative analysis of six national parliaments (Bulgarian, Czech, French, Slovene, Spanish, and United Kingdom) between 2017 and 2020. We analyze emotions and sentiment in the transcripts from the ParlaMint dataset collection, and assess if the age, gender, and political orientation of speakers can be detected from their speeches. The results show some commonalities and many surprising differences among the analyzed countries.

Aiming at the shortcomings of traditional water level prediction methods such as insufficient information mining ability and unclear mechanism of heuristic algorithms, this paper proposes for the first time a water level prediction method based on blockchain technology fused with long short-term memory (LSTM) network. The method utilizes blockchain and LSTM neural network to build a combined model, and directly uploads monitoring data such as import and export water flow and water level to predict the water level, which avoids the secondary error brought by the indirect calculation of flow. In this paper, the flow compensation strategy is proposed for the first time, and the monitoring data with large deviations are compensated accordingly to reduce the prediction error from the source. The results show that the combined Blockchain-LSTM model has the smallest prediction error after adopting the compensation strategy, with the MAE of 0.290 and the RMSE of 0.490, which are smaller than those of other models, and has high prediction accuracy and practicability, which provides technical support for real-time scheduling of the South-to-North Water Diversion Reservoir.

Growing older is a phenomenon that is associated with increasingly complex health situations as a result of the coexistence of several chronic diseases. As a result, there is a downward tendency in both older people and their caretakers’ quality of life, which frequently results in frailty. There are numerous solutions available to treat the issue, which primarily affects older people. The basic and most popular imaging method for predicting cognitive impairment is magnetic resonance imaging. Furthermore, few of the earlier models had a definite level of accuracy when diagnosing the condition. Further, there is a critical need to put in place a stronger, more reliable approach to precise prediction. When compared to other procedures, using magnetic resonance images to predict cognitive decline is the safest and most straightforward. The advanced concept for a better optimized strategy to predict cognitive impairment at an early stage is presented in this research. The hybrid krill herd and grey wolf optimization method is offered as a solution to address the challenges in locating the impacted area. In a short amount of time, a significant number of MRI images are analyzed, and the results show a more precise or higher rate of recognition.
Determining the optimal design for complex systems using a reliability signature
Authors: Mutar Emad Kareem
Published: December 2023

In reliability analysis, the structure-function is a commonly used mathematical representation of the studied system. A signature vector is used for systems with independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.) component lifetimes. Each element in the signature represents the probability that the failure of the corresponding component will fail the entire system. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of assessing the performance of two complex systems for optimal communication design. The study compares two systems with the same components using signatures, expected cost rate, survival signature, and sensitivity to determine which system is preferred. It also provides several sufficient conditions for comparing the lifetimes of two systems based on the usual stochastic order. The results are applied to two communication systems that have the same components. The mathematical properties presented in the study have been proven to enable efficient weighting of the optimal design.

Domain adaptation solves the challenge of inadequate labeled samples in the target domain by leveraging the knowledge learned from the labeled source domain. Most existing approaches aim to reduce the domain shift by performing some coarse alignments such as domain-wise alignment and class-wise alignment. To circumvent the limitation, we propose a coarse-to-fine unsupervised domain adaptation method based on metric learning, which can fully utilize more geometric structure and sample-wise information to obtain a finer alignment. The main advantages of our approach lie in four aspects: (1) it employs a structure-preserving algorithm to automatically select the optimal subspace dimension on the Grassmannian manifold; (2) based on coarse distribution alignment using maximum mean discrepancy, it utilizes the smooth triplet loss to leverage the supervision information of samples to improve the discrimination of data; (3) it introduces structure regularization to preserve the geometry of samples; (4) it designs a graph-based sample reweighting method to adjust the weight of each source domain sample in the cross-domain task. Extensive experiments on several public datasets demonstrate that our method achieves remarkable superiority over several competitive methods (more than 1.5% improvement of the average classification accuracy over the best baseline).

OBJECTIVE: Intensive rehabilitation aims to improve and maintain functioning in young people who experience disability due to illness or injury. Day rehabilitation may have advantages for families and healthcare systems over inpatient models of rehabilitation. METHODS: This study evaluated the goals and outcomes of a cohort of young people in Western Australia who attended a specialist intensive day rehabilitation programme (“iRehab”) at Perth Children’s Hospital. Analysis of the iRehab service database was performed. Rehabilitation goals and outcomes were recorded as per the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), Children’s Functional Independence Measure (WeeFIM), and Goal Attainment Scale (GAS). RESULTS: There were 586 iRehab admissions between August 11, 2011, and December 31, 2018. Admissions were divided by diagnosis: Cerebral Palsy (228, 38.5%), Acquired Brain Injury (125, 21.3%), Spinal Cord Disorders (91, 15.5%), and Other (141, 24.2%). Mean COPM Performance increased by 2.78 points from admission to discharge (95% CI 2.58 to 2.98, p < 0.001). Mean COPM Satisfaction was 3.29 points higher at discharge than admission (95% CI 3.07 to 3.51, p < 0.001). Mean total WeeFIM score improved by 6.51 points between admission and discharge (95% CI 5.56 to 7.45, p < 0.001), and by 3.33 additional points by six months post discharge (95% CI 2.14 to 4.53, p < 0.001). Mean GAS T-scores increased by 27.85 (95% CI 26.73 to 28.97, p < 0.001) from admission to discharge, and by 29.64 (95% CI 28.26 to 31.02, p < 0.001) from admission to six months post discharge, representing improvement consistent with team expectations. CONCLUSION: This study describes a model by which intensive rehabilitation can be delivered in a day rehabilitation setting. A diverse population of young people who experienced disability achieved significant improvements in occupational performance, independence, and goal attainment after accessing intensive day rehabilitation. Improvements were measured in all diagnostic subgroups and were maintained six months after discharge.
Theory of Infrastructural Capability in Psychotherapy: Impact of Therapists’ Egoism Manifestation Toward Patients
Authors: Hozez Yaniv
Published: December 2023

This study aimed to explore three distinct aspects of ego satisfaction within psychotherapy: a) The patient’s ability to comprehend the therapist’s communication and the condition of the patient’s mental state concerning their ego stability, b) The self-esteem and confidence accumulated by the therapist through personal life experiences, and c) The therapist’s capacity to either temporarily soothe agitated patients unable to listen and implement advice effectively or provide objective advice and treat patients impartially, even when the patient’s issue involves their own ego, egotism, or narcissism. This article delves into potential scenarios in psychotherapy, analyzing them for instances of professional misconduct while also examining the ethical dilemmas they present. Although the entire psychotherapeutic process is centered on the patient’s well-being, the effectiveness of psychological treatment methods – such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychodynamics – can significantly diminish without a stable and adequate sense of ego satisfaction. This study underscores the importance for therapists to find means of mitigating their ego for the sake of ensuring the patient’s safety and fostering their confidence.
