Inkerinsuomalaisten kosinta- ja häätavat maalaisyhteisön moniulotteisessa toiminnassa (ennen vuotta 1917)
Authors: Kalinichev Andrei
Published: December 2023

Perhe, yhteisö ja ainutlaatuiset elämäntavat olivat välttämätön ehto omaperäisen inkerinsuomalaisen kulttuurin periytymiselle sukupolvelta toiselle. Tämän etnisen ryhmän säilymisen kannalta tärkeät käyttäytymismallit siirtyivät yhteisön nuorille jäsenille sekä arkielämässä että juhlissa. Inkerinsuomalainen kulttuuri ja elämäntavat ylläpitivät yhteisöllisyyden henkeä, jonka avulla etninen yhteisö pysyi elinvoimaisena ja pystyi selviytymään venäläistämispolitiikan, massakulttuurin ja taloudellisten paineiden vaikutuksesta yhtenäisenä ja vahvana. Tämä väestöryhmä pystyi säilyttämään omaperäisen kulttuurinsa ja kansallisen identiteettinsä yhteisöllisyytensä ansiosta.

Oman kulttuurin ja etnisten juurien tietämys, suomen kieli ja evankelis-luterilainen usko olivat heidän yhteisönsä vahvoja sisäisiä siteitä. Artikkelissa tarkastellaan kansallisia kosintatapoja ja häämenoja yhteisöllisyyden säilymisen näkökulmasta. Kosinta- ja häämenoja on pidettävä yhtenä tärkeimmistä juhlallisuuksista, jotka olivat merkittävä sosiaalinen tapahtuma.

Juhlan ja työn kulttuuri, arki ja pyhät olivat osa sosiaalista elämää. Ne kulkivat inkerinsuomalaisessa yhteisössä käsi kädessä. Molemmat johtivat sosiaaliseen vuorovaikutukseen yhteisöissä ja olivat edellytys talonpoikien silloiselle kollektiiviselle yrittäjyydelle, jonka ansiosta koko yhteisö keskittyi tiettyyn ammattiin tai elinkeinoon. Kulttuurinen elämä yhteisöissä ja taloudellinen toiminta menivät käsi kädessä. Kyläkuntalaiset harjoittivat yhdessä samaa elinkeinoa, koska yhteinen erikoistunut toiminta helpotti toimeentulon ansaitsemista ja paransi yhteisöjen kilpailukykyä. Yhteisöllisen hyvän luomiseksi tarvittiin kiinteää etnistä yhteyttä, yhteistä vahvaa kulttuuria, kaikkien hyväksymää sosiaalista normistoa ja korkeaa luottamustasoa. Sosiaalisen pääoman taloudellinen merkitys korostui, koska sen avulla inkerinsuomalaiset pystyivät vähentämään sivukuluja, järjestämään yhteistoimintaansa paremmin ja nopeuttamaan taloudellista vaihtoa.

Sosiaalinen että taloudellinen kehitys Suomen ja Inkerin maaseudulla oli erilainen. Inkerinsuomalaiset eivät lähteneet kylistään pois, kuten Suomessa oli tapana, koska yhteisönsä olivat elinvoimaisia; he arvostivat omaa kulttuurista ympäristöään. Kulttuurinen yhteisö oli myös heidän tukenaan elinkeinojen harjoittamisessa.

Published: December 2023

The lube oil system in the compressor plays an important role for any rotating equipment because it functions to provide lubrication against the effects of friction on various rotating equipment. This overhead tank works by gravity to distribute lubricating oil from operating speed to zero rpm. The large volume of lube oil provides lubrication to the compressor bearings when the normal circulating flow from the pump stops and is assisted by the backup flow from the overhead tank. The purpose of this approach is to calculate the need for lubrication when an electrical fault occurs in the Boil-off Gas compressor (K-6801). Based on the results of analysis and calculations where the Boil-Off Gas Compressor (K-6801) is the object of observation, the amount of lubricating oil needed for the remaining rounds is 1885 liters while the amount of lubricating oil available in the field is 1528,286 liters. From the calculation results, 1528,286 liters is sufficient based on the reference API Standard 614 edition 4, chapter 2, Section 1.4.10.2 because it has exceeded the 20% reduction from 1885 liters, namely 1508 liters. The height of the overhead tank that is suitable for flowing lubricating oil to the compressor bearings is 5.2588 meters above the compressor with a distribution pipe diameter of 3 inches and an orifice bore diameter of 1 inches.

Authors: Doğruluk Mehmet , Yalçın İlyas
Published: December 2023

Surface modeling constitutes is a crucial aspect in numerous engineering inquiries and earth observation endeavors. In contemporary times, the acquisition of geospatial data essential for the digital representation of local regions is increasingly facilitated through drone-based methodologies, supplanting conventional terrestrial data gathering techniques. The market presently hosts a plethora of cost-effective, "ready-to-fly" unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), offering users the capability to generate photogrammetric outputs, including high geometric precision Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). Moreover, modularly structured drone development kits, designed for multifarious applications, are readily accessible for purchase. These drone kits offer an economically advantageous platform that users can customize to suit their specific needs. Nevertheless, the geometric precision of DEMs created using these kits hinges upon the capabilities of the imaging and navigation systems, in addition to the stabilization of the platform during autonomous flight. In this study, using a drone development kit and a commercial drone, simultaneous image acquisition was performed for the same study area and two different DEMs were produced. The efficacy of the DEM generated using the drone development kit was assessed through a comparative analysis with the DEM obtained from a commercial drone. In addition, geometric accuracy assessment was conducted for both DEMs using ground control points. The findings reveal the usability of drone development kits in precision DEM production, as well as their limitations.

THE SOCIETY OF JESUS AND PORTUGAL: 1540-1773. FROM ESTABLISHMENT TO EXTINCTION. A HISTORIOGRAPHICAL APPROACH
Authors: Beites Manso Maria de Deus
Published: December 2023

Quizás que uno de los temas más fascinantes de los estudiosos dedicados a la historia de la Compañía de Jesús en Portugal es que trata de una historia apologética e ideológica de esta orden religiosa entendida también como el punto de fundación del progreso. Su fuerza se expresa en la enseñanza y su trabajo en misiones en el extranjero, a las mismas que, por otra parte, se les acusaba de tener una ambición universalista que acabó provocando la decadencia sociopolítica de las naciones que las acogieron. Utilizando como una cuestión central la creación de la Compañía de Jesús en Portugal, sumado a la amplitud y profundidad de las publicaciones escritas por y sobre esta orden religiosa, el articulo reflejará sobre cómo los estudiosos de los siglos XIX, XX y XXI analizaron los 233 años de presencia jesuita en Portugal, es decir, desde su creación en 1540 hasta su supresión en 1773.

Reservoir Sedimentation Assessment Using Geospatial Technology: A case Study of Dukan Reservoir, Sulaimani Governorate, Kurdistan Region, Iraq
Authors: Rashid Haveen Muhammed
Published: December 2023

The accumulation of sediment in reservoirs poses a major challenge that impacts the storage capacity, quality of water, and efficiency of hydroelectric power generation systems. Geospatial methods, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS), were used to assess Dukan Reservoir sediment quantities. Satellite and reservoir water level data from 2010 to 2022 were used for sedimentation assessment. The satellite data was used to analyze the water spread area, employing the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) to enhance the water surface in the satellite imagery of Dukan Reservoir. The cone formula was employed to calculate the live storage capacity of the reservoir within two elevations. According to the study results, the live storage capacity of Dukan Reservoir at elevation 511.78 m had decreased from 8000 MCM to 7007.77MCM and 6923.53 MCM using NDWI and MNDWI respectively, due to sedimentation, resulting in a capacity loss of 14.59% and 15.83% for NDWI and MNDWI respectively.  The annual sedimentation was 13.78 MCM and 14.95 MCM for NDWI and MNDWI, respectively. Joglekar's equation and Khosla's formula have demonstrated that the sedimentation rate in the Dukan reservoir exceeds the critical rate. The findings of this study will inform the development of sediment management strategies aimed at preserving the reservoir's capacity.

Performance Assessment of Pile Models Chemically Grouted by Low-Pressure Injection Laboratory Device for Improving Loose Sand
Authors: Mohammed Mohammed Saleh , Ahmed Mahmood D.
Published: December 2023

The complexity and partially defined nature of jet grouting make it hard to predict the performance of grouted piles. So the trials of cement injection at a location with similar soil properties as the erecting site are necessary to assess the performance of the grouted piles. Nevertheless, instead of executing trial-injected piles at the pilot site, which wastes money, time, and effort, the laboratory cement injection devices are essential alternatives for evaluating soil injection ability. This study assesses the performance of a low-pressure laboratory grouting device by improving loose sandy soil injected using binders formed of Silica Fume (SF) as a chemical admixture (10% of Ordinary Portland Cement OPC mass) to different (W/C) water/cement ratios (by mass materials) mixes. Trial grouting processes were executed to optimize the practical ranges of the operating factors of the laboratory device to obtain consistent grouted model pile samples. The paper examined the relations of the binders' W/C ratios with the densities, elasticity modulus (E), and Uniaxial Compression Stress (UCS) of the grouted piles. The investigation results show that as the binder W/C ratio rises, the grouted pile samples' dry density, E, and UCS values decrease. For the binder injected with a W/C ratio of one and 10% SF additive by weight of cement mass, the highest values of the grouted pile for density, E, and UCS were about 2.32 g/cm3, 23 MPa, and 2000 MPa, respectively. The UCS of the grouted pile proved that the binders' W/C ratios and the SF addition have an evident effect on the investigated factors of the grouted piles.
Factors Affecting Building Maintenance Practices: Review
Authors: Kadhim Esraa M. , Altaie Meervat R.
Published: December 2023

Buildings begin to deteriorate gradually over time due to several factors, including environmental influences, improper use of the building, and neglected repairs for damages during the building's life span. Effective maintenance practices can minimize operational costs, extend the life of building systems and components, improve energy efficiency, and maintain property value. This paper aims to review articles related to building maintenance to identify factors affecting maintenance practices. After conducting the review, the result was that there were 33 factors affecting building maintenance categorized into six groups: management-related factors, manpower-related factors, technical-related factors, financial-related factors, building user-related factors, and building characteristics-related factors. Facility managers can enhance their understanding of building maintenance by examining the various factors that affect maintenance. By doing so, they can assess how these factors affect maintenance practices. This evaluation is crucial as it assists in creating efficient maintenance plans while optimizing resource allocation and timely repairs. Moreover, this approach enables facility managers to adopt proactive strategies toward maintenance, ultimately leading to cost savings by addressing or managing potential obstacles hindering optimal building maintenance.

Published: December 2023

The construction sector is considered an important and influential pivot in the national economy of any country.  Nations are working to develop this sector, receiving modern and developed techniques. So, this sector can be a carrier or a receiver of modern technologies. The cost of technology transfer between the international companies that sponsor this sector is a matter of great importance, especially since different factors affect the need for this advanced technology. The cost of technology transfer in construction is related to multiple factors presented by Knowledge, equipment, plant, hardware and software. The lack of distinguishing and evaluating the direct and indirect costs in the construction sector during technology transfer may lead to infractions in the company's budget. This manuscript aims to investigate the direct and indirect costs of transferring technology and the major factors constrained by this process. This work adopted a theoretical study and investigated the opinions of experts and engineers (by questionnaire) working in different construction sites. This Manuscript showed that the largest weight of the cost for both modern equipment and counsulant/designers is a direct cost and indirect cost, respectively, for transferring technology in the construction sector.

Published: December 2023

This study goals to reduce the importance of expensive commercial activated carbon while removing heavy metals from wastewater using cheap, locally available materials (rice husk). To accomplish this goal, a variety of pH values were tested, and it was found that batch studies at pH 5 had the best Cadmium ion removal effectiveness. 180 minutes was determined to be the ideal contact time for the process, and it was discovered that as contact time increased, adsorption effectiveness increased. 180 rpm is the recommended shaking speed, given studies on how agitation speed influences batch adsorption. The effectiveness of the rice husks capacity to eradicate Cadmium Cd (II) from aqueous solutions and absorb it, has assessed. The study revealed that Cd had a 98% effectiveness of removal. The recommended adsorbent's maximum Cd adsorption capability in a batch system was found to be 7.38 mg/g. Three models— Freundlich, Temkin, and Langmuir—were fitted to various equilibrium isothermal experiments. For this system, the experimental best fit was provided by the Freundlich isotherm model, with an value of 0.97. The equilibrium isotherms were discovered to be of a favorable type. When the correlation coefficient (R2) values of each curve for the four models are compared, it appears that the Elovich model best captures the kinetics of the Cadmium ions adsorption onto rice husk. Were the values (Elovich> pseudo-second order> intra-particle diffusion> Pseudo-First Order). According to the research, rice husk may be useful for filtering out wastewater from contaminants and impurities. So, It is a good alternative for expensive activated carbon.

Published: December 2023

The aerodynamics of slotted aerofoils under various Reynolds numbers were numerically studied. Moreover, vibration of aerofoils due to the wind flow was also investigated. Different Reynolds numbers (0.25, 0.4, 0.7 and 1) ×106 were utilized using an Ansys noncommercial version. A slotted asymmetric aerofoil, which was NACA4412, was chosen to implement the concept of the current investigation. The base aerofoil was compared to an experimental study to check the number of cells above and around the aerofoil. The slotted aerofoil appeared to have more momentum on the suction side.  Moreover, the slotted aerofoils then subjected to an oscillatory motion due to the wind flow with 15Hz frequency.
Do children have asymmetrical expectations about sharing in parent-child relationships?
Authors: Thomas Ashley J , Garcia Vivian , Sommerville Jessica A. , Saxe Rebecca
Published: December 2023

The current studies investigated children's expectations regarding caregiving relationships, specifically whether children expect asymmetrical obligations between parents and children. In Study 1, we asked whether children, ages 5 to 7 years old, would anticipate that parents would preferentially share with their children over other known children (friends) more often than children would preferentially share with their parents over another known adult (a teacher). Children did not expect parents to be more likely to share with their children than children would be to share with their parents. In Study 2 we presented the same children with a slightly different scenario, here someone had something that they could share with someone else who was in need (e.g., was thirsty and needed juice). We varied whether it was an adult who had an item and could share with a child or whether it was a child who had the item and could share with an adult. We also varied whether it was a parent and their child or a prosocial but non-family relationship. Here children were near ceiling levels in their expectations of sharing and did not distinguish between whether it was an adult sharing with a child or a child sharing with an adult nor whether the sharing occurred within family or non-family relationships. Thus we found no evidence to support the hypothesis that children have asymmetrical expectations about sharing behaviors.

Predicting MCI and Alzheimer’s disease on structural brain integrity with machine learning
Authors: Mieling Marthe , Yousuf Mushfa , Bunzeck Nico
Published: December 2023

INTRODUCTION Machine learning on structural MRI brain data offers novel ways to characterize the underlying principles and developmental trajectories of healthy and pathological aging. While previous work on Alzheimer’s disease has shown that classifications along the disease continuum are possible, the contributing brain regions, also in comparison to other features such as demographics and proteinopathology, remain little understood. METHODS Using data provided by the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), we utilized an extreme gradient-boosting algorithm to investigate developmental changes across a continuum from cognitively normal (CN) healthy older adults, over adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our first analysis included a cross-sectional multi-class classification of CN vs. MCI vs. AD (n=568). In a second step, we performed two longitudinal binary-class classifications based on diagnostic progress of CN older adults who converted after, on average, 15 months to MCI vs. those that remained healthy for, on average, 31.1 months (i.e., CN-converters vs. CN-stable, n=92); and MCI patients that converted after, on average, 9.53 months to AD vs those that remained MCI for, on average, 52.5 months (i.e., MCI-converters vs. MCI-stable, n=378). Both classifications were based on bilateral volumes of 46 brain regions and thickness of 34 brain regions, CSF status of Aβ and pTau ratio, demographics and genetic data (APOE4). RESULTS The cross-sectional and both longitudinal classifications exceeded chance-level with a global accuracy of 70-77%, and precision of 61-83%. The most important features were, for CN vs. MCI vs. AD: CSF status, hippocampal volume, and entorhinal thickness; for CN-converters vs. CN-stable: hippocampal volume, followed by insula thickness, and superior temporal gyrus thickness; and for MCI-converters vs. MCI-stable: entorhinal cortex thickness, followed by CSF status, and amygdala volume. DISCUSSION Based on longitudinal diagnostic information and MRI data in combination with machine learning, our findings show that a reliable prediction of the trajectories of healthy and pathological aging is possible. They also indicate a novel dissociation of medial temporal lobe brain regions in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease: while the hippocampus contributes to the conversion from healthy aging to MCI, the entorhinal cortex plays a more prominent role in the conversion from MCI to full-blown Alzheimer’s disease.

Importance: The link between ADHD and reduced quality of life has been well established. The current study examines the role of procrastination in explaining this link, providing a new focus for research and therapy. Objective: This study examines the involvement of procrastination, a firm correlate of ADHD, in accounting for ADHD-related reduced quality of life. Design: An online survey consisting of validated scales was used to assess ADHD symptoms, procrastination levels, and quality of life. An indirect pathway between ADHD and quality of life through procrastination, was examined. Setting: A web-based survey platform. Participants: One hundred thirty-two participants, 24 to 60 years of age, 73 males, 58 females and 1 other, completed the online survey.Results: Higher levels of ADHD symptoms were correlated with higher procrastination and lower quality-of-life scores. Indirect pathways between ADHD symptoms and poor quality of life through levels of procrastination were also identified. Conclusions and Relevance: These results shed further light on ADHD and its association with reduced quality of life, and account for this link by the negative impact of procrastination on day-to-day functioning. Future research is warranted to design effective interventions to manage ADHD-related procrastination, targeting different aspects of quality of life.What This Article Adds: This article contributes to the existing literature by providing further insights into the specific role of procrastination in the association between ADHD symptoms and quality of life. It emphasizes the importance of considering procrastination in interventions aimed at enhancing quality of life of individuals with ADHD symptoms.

Children’s word learning from socially contingent robots under active vs. passive learning conditions.
Authors: Sivridag Fatih , Mani Nivedita
Published: December 2023

Language is learned through social interactions, in which gaze has a special role because it can be used to guide the attention and reference objects easily. Children, starting from very early ages, are also very good at utilizing gaze to map labels to referenced objects. To achieve language teaching robots, we need to understand how these functions of gaze can be implemented most efficiently. To this aim, we allowed children to interact with a social robot to learn the labels of several objects in a naturalistic setting. In some trials the child guided the gaze and chose the object to be learned while the robot was following and in the others they changed the roles and robot guided the gaze and decided on the object to be learned. We measured how much children actually followed the robot’s gaze and how many words they learned in these two conditions, referred to as active and passive learning conditions, respectively. The results indicate that although children followed the robot’s gaze and learned words successfully, there were no meaningful differences inword learning between the two conditions. The rate of gaze following and time spent looking at the robot did not influence word learning, either. The implications of these results for use of robots in educational settings are further discussed.

Digital skills are considered critical for functioning in contemporary society, yet there are differences between adolescents’ skills depending on demographic and socioeconomic variables. This study, ulizing data from six EU-countries (N=6221; Mage=14.5; SD=1.4), takes a person-oriented approach to examine adolescents digital skill profiles and associations with socio-economic, digital activity, and socio-emotional antecedents. Using latent profile analyses with tests of similarity across countries, we identified five profiles: Allrounders, Informationists, Content Creators, Communicators, and No high skills. The Allrounders reported the highest proportions of skills at a high level (~77-87%) across all dimensions and performed best across digital knowledge items, whereas Communicators were the largest profile across countries and showed adept aqcuisition (~67%) of high skills only regarding communication and interaction skills. Support from friends, using computers and utilizing digital media to follow news, learn something new, create content or communicate with friends predicted reflecting the Allrounders compared to the Communicators.
A study of extreme water waves using a hierarchy of models based on potential-flow theory

Published: December 2023

The formation of extreme waves arising from the interaction of three line-solitons with equal far-field amplitudes is examined through a hierarchy of water-wave models. The Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation (KPE) is first used to prove analytically that its exact three-soliton solution has a ninefold maximum amplification that is achieved in the absence of spatial divergence. Reproducing this ninefold maximum paves the way for simulations based on both the Benney-Luke equations (BLE) and more-advanced potential-flow equations (PFE). In order to preserve (for the sake of computations) the region of interaction, exact KPE solutions on an infinite domain are used to yield initial conditions that seed the BLE and PFE models within a periodic domain. The above strategies are realised by directly implementing the corresponding time-discretised variational principles within the finite-element environment Firedrake, one aim being automation of the generation of the algebraically cumbersome weak formulations. In the case of three-soliton interactions, it is found numerically that an amplification factor in the interval circa (7.6, 9) can be achieved within the BLE framework, whereas in the PFE framework this falls to circa 7.8.
The state of interbrain synchrony research across 20 years: A hyperscanning retrospective
Authors: Wiggers Jannik , Crafa Daina
Published: December 2023

This systematic review article celebrates the 20th anniversary of hyperscanning research by examining the state of the scientific methodologies and findings. In 2002, Montague et al. proposed hyperscanning as a new method for studying human social cognition using fMRI. Ten years later, Cui et al. (2012) introduced fNIRS as a motion-tolerant device that was well- suited for hyperscanning research, especially interpersonal neural synchrony (INS). Though still in its infancy, INS research has gained notoriety, credibility, and momentum since these milestone publications. The best practices and frequent findings in INS research are still emerging. To capture the state of the science, original INS research articles (N=107) published between 2002-2022 were reviewed for study sample characteristics, experimental methods and cognitive domains, data processing and analysis approaches, as well as reported INS findings. A picture of INS hyperscanning research conventions and general findings emerge as outcome of this review.
The threat of paper mills to social science journals: The case of the Tanu.pro paper mill in Mind, Brain & Education
Authors: Matusz Pawel J , Abalkina Anna , Bishop Dorothy Vera Margaret
Published: December 2023

Fraudulent published papers used to be thought to be rare, but in recent years there has been growing awareness of coordinated activities by organizations that charge authors a fee to plant articles in reputable journals. These are known as paper mills. We reflect here on how Mind, Brain and Education suffered from such an attack in 2022 and 2023, discussing what we have learnt from this experience about how paper mills might operate in social sciences, how to spot signs that an article is fraudulent, and what steps might be taken to prevent such attacks in future.
The impact of sufferers’ wealth status on pain perceptions: Its development and relation to allocation of healthcare resources
Authors: Shu Yuhang , Li Huisi , Ma Shaocong , Bian Lin
Published: December 2023

Wealth-based disparities in health care wherein the poor receive undertreatment in painful conditions are a prominent issue that requires immediate attention. Research with adults suggests that these disparities are partly rooted in stereotypes associating poor individuals with pain insentivity. However, whether and how children consider a sufferer’s wealth status in their pain perceptions remains unknown. The present work addressed this question by testing 4- to 9-year-olds from the US and China. In Study 1 (N = 108, 56 girls, 79% White), US participants saw rich and poor White children experiencing identical injuries and indicated who they thought felt more pain. Although 4- to 6-year-olds responded at chance, children aged seven and above attributed more pain to the poor than to the rich. Study 2 with a new sample of US children (N = 111, 56 girls, 69% White) extended this effect to judgments of White adults’ pain. Pain judgments also informed children’s prosocial behaviors, leading them to provide medical resources to the poor. Studies 3 (N = 118, 59 girls, 100% Asian) and 4 (N = 80, 40 girls, 100% Asian) found that, when evaluating White and Asian people’s suffering, Chinese children began to attribute more pain to the poor than to the rich earlier than US children. Thus, unlike US adults, US children and Chinese children recognize the poor’s pain from early on. These findings add to our knowledge of group-based beliefs about pain sensitivity and have broad implications on ways to promote equitable health care.
How to Form the Human Brain
Authors: Grinde Bjørn
Published: December 2023

Modern societies are challenged by a range of problems; most, if not all, are aggravated by the way people behave. Our minds are shaped by the combined effect of nature and nurture. The only practical option for modifying behavior is to adjust the impact of the environment. All societies try to mold their citizens; thus, the question is not whether we should attempt to form the brains of future generations, but how to optimize the outcome. I shall discuss desirable features, brain plasticity, and strategies for enhancing society by tweaking the mindset, and thus the behavioral propensities, of the population.
‘They think we’re just in God’s waiting room’: A discursive study on identity aloneness in stroke survivors
Authors: Jefferson Lewis James , Dunne Stephen
Published: December 2023

This paper examines the rhetorical strategies used by stroke survivors to attend to identity aloneness, a phenomenon in which individuals experience a sense of disconnect from others as a consequence of identity change, for which stroke is known as an antecedent. Three stroke survivors, as well as their spouses, were interviewed about their stroke, social support, and experiences with loneliness and identity change. The data was transcribed using a simplified version of the Jeffersonian method and was analysed using a critical discursive psychological approach. This made it possible to examine the way in which the psychological business of identity aloneness was managed in participants’ talk via discursive devices such as metaphors and category entitlement, while also leaving room to consider how broader societal discourses were drawn upon. The analysis revealed two key ways in which participants attended to the issue of identity aloneness: by crafting and occupying a position of resilience, and by managing the impact of the post-stroke social world on their identities. These findings offer insight into how the issue of identity aloneness is made sense of by stroke survivors in the context of a discussion with an interviewer. Finally, findings informed future directions for research, including developing a comprehensive theory of identity aloneness using a grounded theory approach, conducting another discursive analysis in a naturalistic, non-interview setting, and developing and validating a psychometric measure of identity aloneness which would be applied in a rehabilitative setting.
