Authors: SHARMA AMIT , SOOD PANKAJ , CHAUDHARY JITENDRA KUMAR
Published: December 2022

Gaddi goats are important livestock species of Himachal Pradesh, India. The sensitivity to cryopreservation varies among different species as also between animals of same species. Ejaculates (180) from 11 adult Gaddi bucks aged between 1.1 to 4.5 years (2.16±0.36 years), weighing 31–57 kg (39.1±2.82 kg) were collected using artificial vagina and selected on basis of standard quality parameters. The ejaculates were extended in Tris citrate egg yolk extender containing 6% Glycerol with varying concentrations of egg yolk (EY; 5, 10, 15 and 20%) to maintain a concentration of 150 × 106 sperms/straws. Filled and sealed straws were equilibrated at 5°C for 4 h followed by vapour freezing of straws for 7 min at 4 cm above the liquid nitrogen and finally plunged into liquid nitrogen. The representative straws from each ejaculates were thawed at 37°C for 30 sec, 24 h post incubation to compare the progressive motility, viability, morphological abnormalities and HOST reactive sperms in between different EY concentrations along with per cent change due to the processing. The data was analyzed using package R version 3.4.3. Post thaw progressive motility (35.18±0.87) and viability (45.26±1.32) was higher with least per cent change due to processing (52.03 and 40.12) in 10% EY than other EY concentrations. Absolute average values of morphological abnormalities, were least in 10% EY (7.93±0.28) than 20, 15 and 5% EY (11.42±0.67, 10.84±0.53 and 8.39±0.35), respectively. The absolute average values of HOST did not differ between 15, 10 and 5% (59.96±1.93, 52.48±1.43 and 59.07±2.18) EY, all of which were higher than 20% (42.57±4.20) EY concentrations. In conclusion, extender containing 10% EY was best with respect to progressive motility and viability for Gaddi goat semen cryopreservation.
Effect of low doses of FSH and season on the in vitro maturation, fertilization and embryo development of bovine oocytes
Authors: TAHIR KARAS¸AHIN
Published: December 2022

This study was aimed at determining the effect of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and season on the in vitro maturation, fertilization and embryo development of bovine oocytes. Bovine ovaries obtained from a local slaughter house were transported to the laboratory within 2–3 h in a thermos flask containing antibiotic-supplemented physiological saline (0.9%) and at a fixed temperature of 30°C. Bovine oocytes collected in spring and autumn were incubated in culture media containing FSH at concentrations of 0.2 and 0.8 μg/ml. After maturation, oocytes were fertilized. Fertilized oocytes were incubated in CR1aa culture medium for 7 days at 38.5°C for in vitro development. The assessment made after the completion of the maturation process revealed that, for both FSH doses, the maturation rates obtained with the oocytes collected in spring were higher than those obtained with the oocytes collected in autumn. The incubation of the oocytes collected in autumn in culture media supplemented with 0.2 μg/ml of FSH resulted in a low level of oocyte maturation. After maturation, oocytes were subjected to fertilization. Fertilized oocytes were incubated in CR1aa culture medium for 7 days at 38.5°C for in vitro development. In both seasons, 0.8 μg/ml FSH application was higher than the maturation values obtained with 0.2 μg/ml FSH in terms of fertilization and embryo development rates. The study was repeated 9 times for each season. Although there was no significant difference between fertilizations and embryo development in the seasons, better results were obtained in spring season.

Authors: BEHL RAHUL , NIRANJAN S K , BEHL JYOTSNA , VIJH R K
Published: December 2022

Ability of the microsatellite markers for individual identification and their potential for breed assignment of individuals was evaluated in three Indian donkey populations. The probability of identity of two random individuals within a population (G1), taking into consideration all eleven loci was 5.91×10–13, 1.06×10–12 and 3.67×10–14 in Ladakhi, Spiti and Andhra-brown donkeys, respectively. Similarly, the probability of identity of two random individuals from two different populations (G2) between Spiti and Ladakhi donkeys, the two most closely related populations, was only 8.05×10–21 . However, the population assignment precision using this set of 11 loci, the correct assignments ranged between 73.08 (Andhra-brown) to 96% (Ladakhi) with frequency method and between 88.46 (Andhra-brown) to 100% (Ladakhi) with Baysian approach. These results suggest that this set of markers can be a promising tool for identification of individuals and their products. Although G2 values were higher than the G1 values but when this set was specifically evaluated for breed allocation purposes, our results indicated that it may require further substantiation before this set can be safely employed for breed/population allocation of individuals in Indian donkey populations.

Authors: KUMARI PREETI , BHARTI VIJAY K , KUMAR DEEPAK , MUKESH MANISHI , SHARMA INDU
Published: December 2022

Ladakhi cattle is a native breed of cattle which is well adapted to hypobaric-hypoxia and cold-stress conditions prevalent at high altitude. These cattle are the main source of A2 quality milk. However, their utility, health and dairy production managements were not standardised for optimum dairy farm economics. Moreover, the haematological and biochemical parameters have not been investigated in details in adult Ladakhi cows, which is the primary requirement of farm health managements. Thus, the objective of this study was to examine the haematology and biochemical parameters in adult Ladakhi cow to establish baseline reference values. Clinically healthy female Ladakhi cattle (10) were selected from the Ladakhi cattle research section, DIHAR, Leh. The resulted haematological and biochemical parameters were compared with already reported reference values for low lander cattle and high lander native and crossbred cattle. Haematological findings revealed that RBC, Hb, heamatocrit, MCV and WBC were within the reference range, rather MCH and MCHC values were more than the reference range. Biochemical findings revealed that albumin, glucose, creatinine, uric acid, alkaline phosphatase, and aspartate aminotransferase were within the reference range limits of low lander. However, urea, triglycerides, total protein values were higher than the reference range and calcium was less than the reference range. These findings indicated that the native Ladakhi cattle are in healthy condition and metabolically adapted to high altitude stress. Hence, these hemato-biochemical profile could be the good biomarkers to evaluate their health status in high altitude stress condition.

Published: December 2022

An experiment was conducted from 2006-2016 to study the economic viability of sapota timber based agroforestry system at University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad on medium black soils under rainfed conditions. The experiment consisted of sapota as major fruit tree species and five timber tree species, viz. Pterocarpus marsupium, Tectona grandis, Terminalia paniculata, Lagerstroemia lanceolata and Terminalia alata which were planted in between two sapota trees. Field crops, viz. soybean and safflower were sown ever year in alleys of sapota + timber trees in kharif and rabi seasons respectively. Recommended package of practices were followed for field crops and sapota trees and all the silviculture practices were followed for better growth of the timber trees. Height, diameter, marketable timber were higher in Tectona grandis with sapota and Lagerstroemia lanceolata with sapota as compared to other tree species. Both net returns, B:C ratio and IRR were higher in the field crops + Sapota + Tectona grandis (` 67129/, 3.84, 123% respectively) followed by field crops + sapota + Pterocarpus marsupium (` 64688, 3.74, 120% respectively) as compared to other tree species.
Energy budget of Jatropha-based cropping systems in Tarai area of Central Himalayas, India
Authors: RASTOGI AKANKSHA , SINGH VIR
Published: December 2022

The present investigation was carried out to work out energy budget of Jatropha curcas L. sown exclusively and intercropped with three food crops, viz. wheat, mustard and soybean, in Pantnagar University farm at Tarai area of Himalayan foothills during crop season 2017. The results showed that the energy use efficiency expressed as the outputinput energy ratio, was highest in case of wheat cultivated as a sole crop (6.76). When the wheat was intercropped with Jatropha, the output-input ratio declined to 4.20. Energy productivity (per ha basis) figures brought to the fore the fact that on investing one kJ the highest production was in case of wheat cultivated as a sole crop (18. 88×10-5 kg/kJ). The value decreased to 11. 74×10-5 kg/kJ in the Jatropha-wheat intercropping system. A trend of decrease in energy productivity of food crops in the Jatropha-based intercropping system revealed that these cropping systems were not favourable for harvesting more energy of useful production. Jatropha's own energy productivity (12. 40×10-5 kg/kJ) was comparatively lower than all the food crops raised as sole crops but relatively higher when the crops were raised with Jatropha. The figures of specific energy increased with the cultivation practice of Jatropha-based intercropping of food crops. The net energy values for wheat raised under both the systems surpassed the values for Jatropha and all other food crops. In case of each food crop, the values of net energy decreased on cultivation of the crop with Jatropha. We can arrive at the conclusion that the Jatropha-based intercropping is not a promising agronomic practice.

Published: December 2022

An analytical method for the determination of chlorantraniliprole residue in brinjal, capsicum, chilli, cucumber, tomato and soil samples using GC-MS/MS was developed and validated to fulfil the requirements of the SANTE/11813/2017 to support compliance with ISO/IEC 17025. The objective of the validation was to evaluate all required parameters, such as linearity of analytical curves, instrument and method limits of detection and quantification, matrix effects, accuracy (trueness and precision) using modified QuEChERS method. The overall recoveries of the method ranged between 84-98% for the vegetable and soil samples, spiked at 0. 005, 0. 01, 0. 05, 0. 1 and 0. 2 Î¼g / ml. GC-MS/MS parameters were tuned up to optimize limits of quantification (0. 005 Î¼g /mL for vegetables and 0. 01 Î¼g /mL for soil). Repeatability and reproducibility of method was excellent (RSD>10%) for all evaluated matrices. Hence, a fast and efficient gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method with acceptable performance was achieved for routine monitoring and surveillance programme for chlorantraniliprole in soil and vegetable matrices.

Authors: Lasluisa-Toalombo Paola Micaela , Rosero Freire Daniela Alexandra , Jácome-Lara Angela Carolina , Salazar-Garcés Luis Fabian
Published: December 2022

Background: Covid-19 is a disease caused by a new coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2. Spike viral protein binds to ACE2 body receptors and determines its infectivity. This process has many effects on the host, causing damage to the respiratory system and at the systemic level in general, evidenced in the elevation of laboratory markers such as Interleukin-6, Ferritin and D-Dimer.
Objective: to analyze biomarkers (Interleukin-6, Ferritin and D-Dimer) as factors of poor prognosis in Covid-19.
Methods: the data was collected from Covid-19 patients who also had results of IL-6, D-D and Ferritin obtained through the IESS Ambato hospital databases.
Findings: we reported 114 Covid-19 patients, whom we analyzed serological markers. D-D and IL-6 show a 1,34 OR (C.I.: 1,14 - 1,58) and 1,26 OR (C.I.: 1,11 - 1,43) respectively. Ferritin had a positive association in female population 1,11 OR (C.I.: 0,99 – 1,24), but in the male population, we didn’t find a significant association 3,91 OR (C.I.: 0,46 - 32,99). It was found that comorbidities were a protective factor with a negative association of 0,88 OR. Secondary causes of death in Covid-19 patients were cardiac arrest and pneumonia (23,1 %).
Conclusion: IL-6, Ferritin and D-D markers were evaluated and proved valuable tools to predict poor prognosis in patients with Covid-19. These markers proceeded independently of other factors like comorbidities. The findings of this study may help manage other pathologies with a similar curse and to focus more on the importance at the laboratory level as a prognostic support

The study was intended to establish the effect of school security and safety on learners’ academic performance in selected primary schools in Majanji Sub County, Busia District. With intent to find out the factors influencing learners’ academic performance as well as identifying the strategies in place to cater for school security and also determine the effect of school security strategies on learners’ academic performance. Findings showed cases of early pregnancies or early marriages, failure to consider children’s rights and presence of learners with emotional problems. Conclusively, an unsafe school is more likely to result in students who have emotional problems, particularly direct victims of violence or bullying. Consider setting up a hotline to allow victims and witnesses to report occurrences in confidence. Some public schools are increasingly enforcing uniforms for all pupils, just like private institutions. Thus, the study recommends that schools work with the parents together with development partners and government to put up security systems in schools for learners’ safety.

An Overview on Climate Change, Environment, and Innovative Finance in Emerging and Developing Economies
Authors: Shirai Sayuri
Published: December 2022

The global economy has been facing a series of adverse shocks in recent years including the COVID-19 pandemic, climate crisis, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, high inflation, and interest rate shocks driven by global monetary policy normalization. The high cost of fossil fuels since 2021, moreover, has reminded the world that investment for clean energy projects has been severely inadequate due to limited implementation of climate policies and limited capital inflows to financing decarbonization efforts. While overdependence on fossil fuels might be inevitable currently, the world needs to accelerate transition to carbon neutrality and also begin to cope with nature capital stock and biodiversity losses, which are happening at an alarming pace. In particular, more financial support should be provided to emerging and developing economies (EMDEs) to help achieve climate and environmental goals and other sustainable development goals (SDGs). We give an overview of some innovative finance schemes applicable to EMDEs, including blended finance to mobilize more private capital to climate and environmental projects and debt-for-climate swaps (or debt-for-nature swaps), to provide de facto grants to small high-debt economies in exchange for climate projects (or nature protection). We also provide some suggestions for further actions through better coordination among donor and recipient nations led by G7 and G20 nations.
Cambodia’s Cash Transfer Program during COVID-19
Authors: Chhoeung Norinmony , Chrea Sesokunthideth , Nguyen Nghia
Published: December 2022

In 2019, Cambodia had been enjoying its steady economic growth until the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic hit the country from February 2020 in the form of severe infectious diseases, causing both economic and social problems for people from all walks of life, especially poor and vulnerable families. The IDPoor Equity Card, a poverty identification and registration system, was introduced in Cambodia to provide cash to poor pregnant women and children since 2016. Given its continued success, Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen announced the implementation of the Cash Transfer Program (CTP) using the IDPoor Card system. The CTP provided cash to poor and vulnerable households across the country affected by the pandemic. Executing the first large-scale cash transfer program in history presented significant challenges for the Government of Cambodia. In addition to implementing the program, which had to adhere to the three principles of equity–equality–efficiency, the government had other challenges to overcome, such as the limited number of tablets and facilities to accommodate the many people waiting in line to withdraw cash. Under the guidance of the central government, particularly the Economic and Finance Policy Committee, a technical working group was established to lead the implementation process; coordination among local governments, local councils, agencies, and the poor and needy; review of the IDPoor database; establishment of the digital payment system; and training of local government staff. This enabled the CTP to effectively distribute cash to poor and vulnerable households during the pandemic.
Desde la sostenibilidad hasta el desarrollo sustentable: Una radiografía de la evolución del concepto
Authors: Damián Tibacuy Camila Alexandra , Hernández Cáceres Adriana , Garzón Baquero Jossie Esteban , Bellon Monsalve Daniela
Published: December 2022

Los autores revisaron y discutieron los conceptos que parten desde la sostenibilidad hasta el desarrollo sustentable, con el fin de aclarar sus orígenes, dado que los términos "sostenible" y “sustentable” han perdido su significado original debido a su uso indiscriminado, dificultando un análisis riguroso y haciendo que pierda su sentido inicial. Por esta razón, se incluye una breve reseña de cómo se han utilizado ambos conceptos en la literatura científica, así como en textos gubernamentales; también se describe la controversia que ha suscitado su uso intercambiable, así como las corrientes de pensamiento que sustentan. Lo anterior, conlleva a los investigadores a plantear dos objetivos en este documento: 1) hacer una revisión de la literatura para compartir algunos desarrollos y debates recientes en el campo del desarrollo sostenible y 2) discutir cómo definir y utilizar los términos “sostenibilidad” y “sustentabilidad”. Aunque ambos términos son técnicamente correctos, se puede concluir que se refieren a ideologías y posiciones filosóficas muy diferentes. Por ejemplo, el "desarrollo sostenible" hace hincapié en la gestión cuidadosa de los recursos naturales desde una visión económica que se apoya de lo social y lo ambiental, mientras que el "desarrollo sustentable" hace hincapié en el uso de los recursos naturales dando prioridad a la protección del medio ambiente.

Este artículo explora el tacto, el contacto y su ausencia como formas y posibilidades de la sensibilidad en general y de la construcción de una subjetividad y un ethos político del cuerpo, de los cuerpos. Esta reflexión se hace a través del diálogo que establecen un conjunto de prácticas artísticas que confluyen en la exposición Con Tacto. Políticas y poéticas de la tocabilidad que tuvo lugar en la Universidad Miguel Hernández en Elche en 2021. El conjunto de las obras que dialogaron en esta exposición opera como un interrogante en torno al trauma personal y social que hemos estado transitando con la covid, y sobre la forma en que son expuestos lo cuerpos, en su tocabilidad y en su distanciamiento. Los interrogantes de partida tomaron cuerpo principalmente a través de la experiencia vivida y transmitida del subalterno; de la feminista, de la queer, de la bollera, del enfermo, del trans*, del negr+, del migrante, del marica. A través de la imaginación que despliegan estas criaturas salvajes, nos quisimos preguntar sobre la posibilidad de reinventar la figura humana en el espacio mismo de una comunidad quebrada, herida y, en última instancia, atravesada históricamente por el trauma.

Conceptualizing emotions : From Homer to Aristotle
Authors: Sassi Maria Michela ,   Editua Polirom
Published: December 2022

Cet article vise à faire ressortir les fils hétérogènes de la pensée sur les émotions qui traversent la littérature philosophique et médicale grecque des cinquième et quatrième siècles avant J.‑C., contribuant à l’émergence de la sphère des passions en tant que territoire autonome pour l’exploration des faits mentaux. Nous examinons d’abord le modèle psychologique homérique dans le but de mettre en évidence son influence sur la littérature philosophique et non philosophique grecque des siècles suivants. Les auteurs hippocratiques, en particulier, se révèlent redevables du monisme «materialiste» d’Homère, mais on retrouve également des traces du modèle épique chez les penseurs qui, par la suite, se sont intéressés à la relation entre le corps et l’entité‑âme. Nous reconstituons ensuite l’évolution au cours de laquelle, d’Héraclite à Démocrite, de Platon à Aristote et au Péripatos, une notion du pathos en tant qu’emotion finit par émerger, prête à être acceptée et bien sûr précisée autant que retravaillée par les philosophies des âges hellénistique et romain.
Wandering motion in Plato’s Timaeus
Authors: Sanday Eric ,   Editua Polirom
Published: December 2022

Au moment de décrire la fonction des yeux humains, qui sont donnés par les dieux afin que l’on puisse déduire la philosophie et le nombre à partir de la rotation du firmament, Timée interrompt son récit pour développer son explication des mécanismes physiques sous‑jacents à la fois à la vision et à tout type de mouvement et de changement. Il est intéressant de noter que, dans le contexte du Timée dans son ensemble, la chôra ne semble pas indispensable. Par exemple, l’explication de la nécessité impliquant les types corporels de base et leurs isotopes et composés aurait pu s’effectuer assez facilement avec la simple affirmation des quatre solides réguliers, de leurs mouvements réguliers et des deux triangles élémentaires dont ils sont composés. Je soutiens dans cet article que si nous regardons la chôra dans le contexte du récit antérieur du mouvement d’errance des planètes, dont on dit qu’elles encadrent et font ressortir le nombre et l’identité du mouvement des étoiles fixes, et que si nous comparons cela à la décomposition des triangles élémentaires dans le contexte de la vie et de la mort du corps doté d’une âme, nous pourrons discerner la chôra dans le mouvement errant du vieillissement, de l’effondrement et de l’éloignement de la limite normative dans le récit plus large de la vie dans le Timée, tant au niveau biologique que moral de la description. Cette approche permettra de rendre compte non seulement de l’unité de la pensee de Timée, mais aussi du caractère disruptif du tournant remarquable par lequel il introduit la cause errante.

This paper introduces a novel and flexible low-cost water gauging technology, called Open Water Levels, using smartphones as low-cost measuring devices enabling the crowdsourcing of water levels on demand with accuracies of a few centimetres. This merely requires smartphone camera images of a riverbank and approximate values of the camera position and rotation measured by smartphone sensors. The images are analysed for the water line that is further projected into object space and intersected with a 3D model, e.g. from a GIS database, to derive water level information.
How do the socio-economic indicators influence the travel behaviour pattern?: Case study Amman-Jordan
Authors: Shbeeb Lina
Published: December 2022

Limited research has been conducted in developing countries on travel behavior and its prediction. This study aimed to investigate if socio-economic conditions affect travel behavior patterns in Amman, Jordan, and propose regression models for trips defining the contributory factors. A total of 681 interviews were conducted with households (210) and workplace employees (335), assessing behavioral travel styles in two neighborhoods with different characteristics. Compared to residents of high-income areas (HIA), residents of low-income areas (LIAs) travel more by all modes of transportation; in LIA and HIA, the trip rate per person was (2.2) and (2.0), respectively, while in low-income and high-income areas, the number of trips per household was 5.14 (153.6 minutes) and 3.7 (155 minutes). Most household trips in low-income neighborhoods, mainly for education and work, were made on foot, while private cars were more common in high-income areas. For trips related to the office and shops, the private car was the most common mode of transportation. In low-income neighborhoods, shared taxis were commonly used for household and shop trips, and buses were often used for commutes. School and university students, as well as household size, provided valid trip predictions. Employees can predict work trips to the office, customer visits, and shop-related trips.

The main effects for associations between psychosocial stressors and caregiver outcomes are well established, but little is known about the mechanisms of these relationships. Aims of this study were to examine the hypotheses that satisfaction with family relationships (SF) is a mechanism by which quality of relationship (QR) between adult children caregiver and parents with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) influences depression, life satisfaction (LF), and self-rated health (SRH) among these caregivers. The participants were 716 Brazilian adult children who cared for their parents with AD and related disorders. Regression-based path analysis was performed; a PROCESS, bias-corrected and accelerated bootstrapping method was used to test confidence intervals. The relationships between QR and both depression (B = .3263, p < .001) and SRH (B = .3263, p < .001), were fully mediated by SF. The relationship between QR and LF was partially mediated by SF. The primary finding is that SF is one mechanism by which QR relates to depressive symptomatology, self-rated health, and life satisfaction.
Transnational grandparenthood: A qualitative study on the relationship of grandparents and grandchildren in the migration context
Authors: Schuler Emily , Schuler Flavia de Maria Gomes , Dias Cristina Maria de Souza Brito

Transnational relationships are defined as those between actors located in different national spaces, that is, relationships that are built beyond borders. It is the case of grandparents and grandchildren, who through migration see themselves in a distance relationship between two countries, thus one can speak of a transnational relationship that seeks an affective connection between two countries, two cultures, played out between grandparents and grandchildren. These transnational relationships will link grandchildren to family traditions, stories and values in and from the culture of origin. Despite the migration by parents and children, apparently distancing generations, this distance does not seem to totally prevent the inter-family cultural transmission of social values, mainly due to grandparents, who function as a kind of cultural root in the family and in contemporary society. In this context, the general objective of this study was to understand the transnational relationship between grandparents who remained in the country of origin and their migrant grandchildren. A qualitative research was carried out with twelve participants, that is, four grandparents, who remained in Brazil; four mothers, who migrated to Switzerland with their children; and four grandchildren, from different Brazilian States who migrated to Switzerland. The instruments used were a biosociodemographic questionnaire, a life history interview and semi-structured interviews. Results point out that their transnational relationship presents itself in singular and special ways, through created opportunities by those involved.
The battle between light and dark side of personality: How light and dark personality traits predict mating strategies in the online context
Authors: Tucaković Lana , Bojić Ljubiša , Nikolić Nemanja
Published: December 2022

In recent years, online dating websites, applications, and social media have become increasingly popular tools for finding romantic and/or sexual partners. Individual differences in personality traits predict the use of online dating websites and applications and also influence the motives for their use. Previous work regarding mating strategies in the context of online dating has focused on the Dark Tetrad concept of malevolent personality while ignoring the Light Triad concept of beneficent personality. Light and dark personality traits are not seen as polar opposites as they supplement each other. Thus, the current study aimed to explore the utility of both light (i.e., Faith in Humanity, Humanism, and Kantianism) and dark (i.e., Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, and sadism) personality traits in predicting mating strategies in the online context. A total of 216 participants, ages 20 to 56, which used online dating sites, apps, and social media for finding partners in the past year, completed an online questionnaire assessing Dark Tetrad traits, Light Triad traits, and mating orientations. Narcissism, psychopathy, and sadism positively correlated, while Faith in Humanity and Kantianism negatively correlated with short-term mating. However, only Faith in Humanity was a significant predictor of short-term mating. As for long-term mating, the results have shown that it is negatively related to psychopathy and sadism, while it is positively related to all Light Triad traits. Faith in Humanity, Humanism, and Kantianism were significant predictors of long-term mating. These findings highlight the utility of the Dark Tetrad and Light Triad traits in mating orientation research.
VIDEN OG NARRATIVER SOM KONSTRUKTIONER
Authors: Döpping Jesper
Published: December 2022

Artiklens søger en empirisk funderet teoretisk forståelse af det narratives konstruktion igennem konkrete sociale og semiotiske processer. Artiklen tager udgangspunkt i en påstand om, at det narrative perspektiv ofte indeholder to problemer. Det første problem er, at det narrative priviligerer historien, som et samlet hele – et plot – der udtrykker en intentionalitet. Artiklen vil vise, at intentionaliteten og plottet forudsætter en forhandlingsproces, der går forud for narrationen. Det andet problem er det narratives og den moderne socialpsykologis priviligering af det sociale og sproglige på bekostning af det non-humane og materielle i narrationens beskrivelse af sagsforholdet. Artiklen søger igennem empirien at vise, hvordan det processuelle og interaktionelle i forhandlingen af menneskers narrative beskrivelse og kategorisering af sig selv kan analyseres, uden at det »materielle« – i form af non-humane aktanter – mistes i den psykologiske forståelse.
SOCIAL IDENTITET OG INTEGRATION HOS ETNISKE UNGE
Authors: Mørch Sven
Published: December 2022

Diskussioner om indvandrere og især indvandrerunge synes ofte fanget i særlige forsknings- og forståelsesparadigmer, som enten handler om social integration eller om kulturidentitet. Og især ser det ud til, at blandingen af disse perspektiver giver grobund for både »politisk korrekte og politisk ukorrekte« indvandrerdiskussioner. I denne artikel sættes der fokus på at overskride denne uhensigtsmæssige perspektivforvirring ved at pege på de to paradigmers begrænsninger i forhold til at forstå modernitet og udvikling, og især de unges situation. For de unge handler spørgsmålet måske ikke om kultur eller integration, om at blive muslim eller dansk. Det handler om individualisering.
PSYKOTERAPIENS KULTURELLE GRUND
Authors: Jørgensen Carsten René
Published: December 2022

Med udgangspunkt i bl.a. Jerome Franks klassiske behandling af de psykoterapeutiske virkningsfaktorer argumenteres for, at effekten af psykoterapi i nogen grad er bundet til den kulturelle kontekst som psykoterapien er en del af – og hvor psykoterapien til dels henter sin legitimitet som effektfuld metode til behandling af psykiske forstyrrelser. Når kulturen – som i disse år – forandres væsentligt og med en hidtil uset hastighed, må man overveje, hvorledes dette influerer på, hvilke psykoterapeutiske behandlingsformer, der er fremherskende og har de bedste muligheder for at opnå gode resultater. En beskrivelse af centrale tendenser i den senmoderne vestlige kultur, de heraf følgende udfordringer til og belastninger af det enkelte menneske, og ændringer i den dominerende socialkarakter, leder frem til en skitsering af, hvorledes observerbare kulturelle forandringer påvirker den terapeutiske relation, og hvordan man forstår psykopatologi og dens behandling. Roy Schafers narrative psykoanalyse, Kohuts selvpsykologi og den interpersonelle psykoanalyse fremdrages som eksempler på nyere psykodynamiske teoridannelser, der på forskellig vis afspejler – og har formået at skabe behandlingskoncepter til håndtering af problemer knyttet til – fremherskende tendenser i senmoderniteten. Endelig peges på, hvorledes den voldsomme vækst i markedet for psykoterapi antageligt hænger sammen med, at psykoterapien som behandlingsform er i overensstemmelse med markante træk ved senmoderniteten.
DARWIN, ECOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY, AND THE PRINCIPLE OF ANIMAL-ENVIRONMENT MUTUALITY
Authors: Costall Alan
Published: December 2022

... traditional theories have separated life from nature, mind from organic life, and thereby created mysteries. ... Those who talk most of the organism, physiologists and psychologists, are often just those who display least sense of the intimate, delicate and subtle interdependence of all organic structures and processes with one another. The world seems mad in pre-occupation with what is specific, particular, disconnected in medicine, politics, science, industry, education. ... To see the organism in nature, the nervous system in the organism, the brain in the nervous system, the cortex in the brain is the answer to the problems which haunt philosophy. And when thus seen they will be seen to be in, not as marbles are in a box but as events are in history, in a moving, growing never finished process (John Dewey, 1958, pp. 278 & 295).
FIND DIG SELV. REALISÉR DIG SELV. KONSTRUÉR DIG SELV. Selvet i senmoderne selvhjælpslitteratur og psykoterapi
Authors: Jørgensen Carsten René
Published: December 2022

Artiklen skitserer, hvorledes man typisk forstår det menneskelige selv i senmoderne selvhjælpslitteratur og i sen-/postmoderne psykoterapeutiske behandlingskoncepter. Selvom begrebsliggørelsen af selvet falder ganske forskelligt ud i selvhjælpslitteraturen og i de senmoderne behandlingsteorier, bidrager de samlet til forståelsen af menneskets væren i senmoderniteten; de udtrykker centrale elementer i samtidens opfattelse af mennesket. Samtidig medvirker de til at skabe og videreformidle bestemte forestillinger, værdier og normer omkring menneskets væren i verden. Selvhjælpslitteraturen og nyere psykoterapiformer kan således betragtes som væsentlige dele af den herskende sociale diskurs, der understøtter og legitimerer en bestemt samfundsmæssig orden og kulturel logik centreret omkring radikaliseret individualisering og individualisme
LEKENS ESTETIK
Authors: Lindqvist Gunilla
Published: December 2022

Syftet med studien är att undersöka lek och kulturella estetiska mönster för att kunna utveckla en skapande lekpedagogik för att förstå den potentiella utvecklingen av barns lek för att de skall skapa mening. Med utgångspunkt i Vygotskijs kulturhistoriska teori om dramapedagogisk teori och litteratur utvecklas ett synsätt på lek, där det finns ett dynamiskt samband mellan barnens lek och omgivningens kulturella påverkan. Studien innehåller ett didaktiskt försök (utvecklingsexperiment) på en förskola i Karlstad, med ett lektema, där berättelsen är den röda tråden och där vi använder dramapedagogiska metoder och utgår från lekens form. Metoden var att analysera texter kvalitativt, både dramatiseringar och barnens lekar (videofilmade) och den pedagogiska analysen handlade om reflektera över den dynamiska relationen mellan lek och kultur. Resultaten visar att en gemensam LEKVÄRLD hjälper till att utveckla barns lek på förskolan. Barnen skapade mening på en hel situation. När de vuxna dramatiserade karaktärer och handlingar så etablerades en dialog med barnen, där de vuxna förde barnen in i fiktionen. VÄRLD, HANDLING och KARAKTÄRER hör ihop i barns lek och barn skapar MENING vilket förbereder för abstrakt tänkande, konstnärlig och en kreativ förmåga.
