Authors: Valiente Barroso Carlos , Arguedas Morales Marta , Marcos Sánchez Rafael , Martínez Vicente Marta
Published: February 2021

Durante los últimos años, factores protectores de la salud mental como son la inteligencia emocional, los valores y un amplio espectro de variables de ajuste personal y psicológico, se han convertido en foco principal de investigación. Se plantea este estudio de metodología cuantitativa, no experimental transversal, descriptivo, inferencial y correlacional, cuyo objetivo general es comprobar las relaciones entre inteligencia emocional, los valores, la autoestima, el optimismo y tolerancia a la frustración en población adolescente. Se recogió información a través de una muestra de 161 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria de Madrid (España) (M = 14,51; DT = 1,74). De los resultados obtenidos se observan relaciones positivas entre autoestima, optimismo y tolerancia a la frustración y las variables claridad emocional, reparación emocional, compromiso social y gratitud. Se confirma el carácter predictivo de gratitud y reconocimiento social en la autoestima y el optimismo, así como de reparación emocional en el optimismo y la tolerancia a la frustración. Se reafirma la necesidad de intervenciones programadas en educación emocional, como pieza clave del desarrollo del bienestar personal y psicológico y, en consecuencia, de una adecuada salud mental adolescente.

Published: February 2021

This research presents the results of a case study that analyses the Solidarity Atocha project, which was implemented at a school in Madrid, Spain, and in which 114 first-year High school students participated. The main objective of this study is to analyse the experience of students that participated in the Solidarity Atocha project and to understand how they evaluated it and how satisfied they were with it. The method applied in this case study is a mixed one that used both qualitative and quantitative techniques. A semantic differential and a semi-structured interview were used to collect data. In general, the results obtained reveal a very positive evaluation from the students, mainly in terms of teamwork and the use of digital tools. However, they encountered some difficulties with regard to the time spent on the project and to guidance provided as they worked on it. Inferential analyses show significant differences between the team groups.
The Influence of Sociodemographic Factors on Women’s Breast Cancer Screening in Accra, Ghana
Authors: Amenuke-Edusei Margaret , Birore Charles M. S.
Published: February 2021

Ghana has a relatively low incidence rate of women’s breast cancer compared to more developed countries. However, the breast cancer’s mortality rate is higher in the former compared to the latter. In Ghana, the role of social work in health care is limited or is not recognized. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of sociodemographic characteristics, access to healthcare providers, and physicians’ recommendations on Ghanaian women’s breast cancer screening practices. A cross-sectional survey and convenience sample were used to collect data from 194 Ghanaian women after approval was obtained from two Institutional Review Boards, authors of instruments used, and the participants. Univariate, chi-square, and logistic regression statistics were used to analyze data. Seventy-one percent of the participants reported practicing breast self-examination (BSE) and 14% reported mammogram screening. While educational level and employment were positively associated with BSE, a regular visit to healthcare providers was negatively associated with BSE. Income and physicians’ recommendations were positively associated with mammogram screening. Ghanaian women’s low level of mammogram screening calls for first, increasing breast cancer awareness and education to counteract negative personal and cultural beliefs relating to breast cancer and screening. Second, social workers in collaboration with health professionals and social justice agencies should advocate and lobby for health insurance legislation which mandates coverage of mammogram screening services. Finally, introducing oncology social work to the curriculum of social work educational programs in Ghana is needed to prepare social workers to address psychosocial challenges relating to breast cancer.
Role of Social Support and Ego Network Characteristics on Quality of Life
Authors: Kondrat David C. , Sullivan W. Patrick , Canada Kelli E. , Jaggers Jeremiah W.
Published: February 2021

Mental health courts offer alternatives to incarceration for persons with severe mental illness who are involved in the criminal justice system. These courts have the dual function of ensuring treatment for persons involved in the court as well as ensuring the safety of the public. Persons with severe mental illness who are involved in mental health courts rely on others for support, such as family members. Others may buttress the participant from engaging in criminal activities and provide for needs of the participant. The supportiveness as well as the composition of one’s network members may play a role in the success of mental health court participants, such as successfully completing the mental health court program and avoiding incarceration. Little research has explored how social support impacts mental health court participants. We explored how the composition and sense of support of network members were associated with mental health court participants’ quality of life. We regressed quality of life on social support and network characteristics of 80 participants in two mental health courts. Findings suggest that perceived support is positively associated with quality of life, and the proportion of family in one’s network was negatively related to quality of life. Findings suggest that persons involved in mental health courts need supportive others in their social networks in addition to family. More research is needed to explore the reasons having a higher proportion of family members in one’s network is associated with lower quality of life. Practitioners need to pay attention to and leverage mental health court participants’ social networks to help improve their quality of life.
The Association of Advanced Math Course-Taking by American Youth on Subsequent Receipt of Public Assistance
Authors: Adzima Kerry
Published: February 2021

Helping people move to independence is often cited as a primary goal of public assistance policies in the United States. Over the past several decades, welfare reform efforts in the US have promoted the idea of a work-first approach. Research shows that this approach has discouraged or at least made it harder for some students to attend college while meeting the work requirements for aid. How can those students who need public assistance increase their chances of finding a sustainable job and thus not need to rely on the public support system after high school? To address this question, this study used a sample of 3,384 student responses from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health and a recursive bivariate probit model to analyze the association between advanced math course-taking in high school and the probability of subsequent receipt of public assistance. The empirical results suggest that taking advanced math courses in high school is associated with a lower probability of receiving public assistance for recent graduates. These findings are particularly important for school social workers who work in conjunction with teachers and school counselors to help at-risk students improve their chances of future financial independence.
Both Insider and Outsider
Authors: Sapiro Beth , Matthews Elizabeth B.
Published: February 2021

The mental health clinic poses unique challenges for social work scholar-practitioners. The familiar setting, the nature of mental health data collection, and the researcher’s clinical training and experience all complicate efforts to maintain a reflexive stance in research. Additionally, conducting research in a clinical environment risks replicating a hierarchical medical model in the research relationship. Using a theoretical framework of critical realism, two doctoral-level scholar practitioners analyzed the advantages and challenges of conducting research in a clinical setting. Audit trails and experiences of peer debriefing from their dissertation research served as the basis for this conceptual analysis. The analysis considers the impact of the clinic setting on the power dynamics of the research process, as well as the researchers’ subjective experiences throughout the process of data collection. The authors discuss the risks of Othering and the challenges of straddling insider and outsider identities as scholar-practitioners in clinic settings. To navigate these dual identities of researcher and clinician, the authors recommend maintaining awareness of power dynamics and discourses, debriefing regularly with peers and mentors, introducing reflexive practices into both interviews and writing, and moving beyond binary identities in order to occupy a “space between.”
Examining Experts’ Arguments for Increasing the Minimum Wage
Authors: Steiner Elizabeth , Wexler Sandra , Engel Rafael Jacob
Published: February 2021

The struggles of low-wage workers have increasingly become the focus of public debate, legislative activity, and widespread advocacy. Advocacy can be viewed from the vantage point of claims-making, that is, how individuals and groups define and shape a social problem to influence policy. This paper describes the wage-related claims posted online by 17 experts who testified to a City Council Wage Review Committee in Pittsburgh. Our primary aim was to understand how experts constructed their claims; secondarily, we were interested in the rationales they offered for raising wages. We thematically analyzed the testimonies to identify how they shaped and defined their claims in favor of increasing wages. Experts described the challenges faced by minimum wage workers and their families as well as by the community. They cited economic considerations, social and economic justice concerns, and moral justifications for raising the minimum wage, often combining arguments. Social work advocates are important claims-makers, yet how they “speak truth to power” is not often systematically assessed. Our analysis suggests social work advocates must be prepared to provide multiple arguments and to put a human face to any data presented. Appeals should be made to both the heads and hearts of decision-makers, while keeping social and economic justice arguments front and center.
Increasing Social Work Students’ Participation in Macro Specializations
Authors: Apgar Dawn
Published: February 2021

Much effort has been made to increase the number of social work students in macro practice specializations in graduate school. Despite the development of pedagogical techniques which have shown to increase interest in and appreciation for macro practice, the proportion of macro students has stayed low and stable over time. Using survey data collected from 474 Master of Social Work students and graduates, this exploratory study identified both structural and attitudinal barriers which impede specialization in macro practice. Data reveals that despite exposure to these methods, those whose original motivation to enter the profession was based on a desire to do clinical work are unlikely to concentrate on macro practice. Structural barriers such as the lack of availability of macro programs also prevented increased specialization in macro practice. Social workers who are Black/African American are more likely to concentrate in macro practice, perhaps due to a recognition of the need for systems change in the United States to promote equal opportunities and rights for those who have historically been marginalized. Findings indicate that current efforts to increase the number of graduates with macro specializations may not be effective. Treatment of macro methods as a specialization, rather than integral to social work education, should be revisited if the profession wants to ensure enough graduates are able to make system-level changes to rectify current societal inequities.
Reconsidering How Successful Aging is Defined
Authors: Teater Barbra , Chonody Jill
Published: February 2021

Successful aging is a prominent framework within gerontology, yet an understanding of how aging adults define “successful aging” is often missing in the social work discourse around what it means to age well. This cross-sectional, exploratory study used an online survey to explore community-dwelling adults’ (aged 55+; n=471) definition of successful aging, the underlying components across all definitions, and any differences in components based on whether or not the adults identified as aging successfully. Summative content analysis yielded five main themes and 13 sub-themes for those who identified as aging successfully and five main themes and 11-sub-themes for those who identified as not aging successfully with elements of health constituting the largest percentage of responses across both groups. Bivariate analyses found participants in the “not aging successfully” group mentioned elements of Being Healthy and Financial Security more than those in the aging successfully group, and elements of Sustain Participation, Curiosity, and Learning less than those in the “aging successfully” group. The findings illustrate the extent to which aging adults view successful aging as the presence of health and ability. Social workers should be mindful to the ways in which adults view successful aging and the elements they believe to contribute to successful aging in order to provide and tailor programs, services, and resources that are supportive of aging adults’ needs and wishes.

História da Gestalt-terapia no Brasil contada por seus "primeiros atores": um estudo historiográfico no eixo São Paulo-Brasília
Authors: Costa Danilo Suassuna Martins
Published: February 2021

This work is based on a history of psychology perspective, and aims to unveil the Gestalt-therapy and gestalt approach history in Brazil. This essay has an empirical and qualitative character, using the historiographic method. The interviews are semi-directives conducted with some of the first professionals to work with this approach in Brazil, here called first actors in the geographical axis that includes the state of São-Paulo and the Federal District, specifically Brasília. These interviews were analyzed under a phenomenological point of view, and grouped in main themes in order to understand the particular view of these first actors understanding, from their individual perceptions, how this approach came to Brazil; with who arrives and how comes development of the Gestalt-therapy, in Brazil. This work contributes not only to clarify the historical legacy of Gestalt-therapy, but also to reflect on their social and political perspectives. Thus, from a critical eye on contributions, possibilities and perspectives, the study corroborates with the solidification of the epistemological studies of gestalt approach.
Solidão, amor e sexo na mulher de mais de sessenta anos
Authors: SILVEIRA Teresinha Mello da
Published: February 2021

The anguish experiencied by women over sixty relates mainly to issues such as desire of to live – going beyond subjects like losses and grief. Their love and sex life is still riddler with taboos, surrouded by a silence that deniesthe problem or disqualifies those who dare to approach the subject. Under these circumstance, loneliness, somatization and depression develop easily, this way confirming the sayings: Old people love to talk about diseases, or Old people do nothing except complain. In an attempt to explode this myth and help old women to take control of their condition and rights taken into account, I will approach issues such as love, sex and loneliness in this age group. So as to profile the middle class old people, I will take into consideration historical facts, the rapid social, cultural and technological changes and the imperatives of the consumer society, the influence of the media, and the new types of family arrangements. I will approach issues referring to sexual activity and love in the third age, and point out the origins of the loneliness experiencied by women based on this frame of refence. Finally, I will show ways that allows changes in the social representation of old women – changes that may make it possible for them to be listened, respected and welcomed with regard to their affective and sex life – and that contribute to revise the psychotherapeutic practices related to this segment.

A criança com transtorno de ansiedade: seus ajustamentos criativos defensivos
Authors: ANTHONY Sheila Maria da Rocha
Published: February 2021

The article presents a clinical view of children with anxiety disorders from a theoretical Gestalt-Therapy standpoint. Gestaltic principles embrace the existential totality of the child and emphasize constant interactions in the organism/environment field, represented by child-other-world unity. In each situation there is always the child, the world of objects and the world of the other that form a net of forces interconnected. Enhancing the value of this inseparable unity, Gestalt therapy accentuate the impossibility of knowing and understanding a behavior, pathology or personality without taking into account the child within its family, social, school context. Children with anxiety disorders experience phobias that reveal belief in a hostile, dangerous and threatening world, built upon unresolved childhood dramas of their parents, that are projected onto the child. Facing up to this terrifying world make use of creative adjustments that are defensive behaviors to relieve anxiety, satisfy an important need in the field and avoid damage in interactions with the significant other. Each psychopathology reveals a personality with its own specific psychological characteristics, defense mechanisms and contact dilemmas.

Subjetividade e Tempo na Fenomenologia Husserliana
Authors: Thomé Scheila Cristiane
Published: February 2021

This dissertation aims at discussing the limits of the relation between subjectivity and time in the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl, seeking to think about the deep meaning that this originating relation has in the process of phenomenological fundamentation of philosophy. With the objective of undertaking a genetic analysis about time and subjectivity, we will use as our basis texts The Phenomenology of Internal Time-Consciousness and the Cartesian meditations. We will undertake, in a first moment, an investigation about the origin of time, an investigation which reveals that time has its origin in the absolute flux of subjectivity. In a second moment, it will be necessary to investigate the dynamics itself of the constitution of time by subjectivity. One such investigation reveals that the subjectivity is the absolute origin of any constitution, and thus, that it is also the origin of itself. But this genetic analysis reveals also that the absolute subjectivity is untimely ( unzeitlich ), yet only constitutes itself in its exercise of unfolding in time, in its fluent dispersion in time. Thus, it is necessary to discuss, in the last instance, how, in the constant process of the constitution of time, the subjectivity derives from that of which it is the origin itself.

Bases epistemológicas da antipsiquiatria: a influência do Existencialismo de Sartre
Authors: SPOHR Bianca , SCHNEIDER Daniela Ribeiro
Published: February 2021

The anti-psychiatric movement, which started around the 1950's, was responsible for the extensive questioning of the psychiatric model for understanding and treating madness, especially in Europe and the United States. The movement had a central role in the creation of new models for dealing with mental health, as it criticized the concept of "mental disease", questioning the treatment models based on psychiatric hospitals, which were considered to produce violence and exclusion, besides not providing effective patient's recovery and re-entry in society. This paper discusses the influence Sartre's existentialism currently has on the issue of madness. The Sartrian philosophy - which is based on the concept of freedom as a human condition par excellence - has supported the understanding of psychopathology as a process that occurs within the relations of the subject in his/her socio-historical context, specially in the family relations; as opposed to the notion of morbid entity, characterized by its organicity, which guide the psychiatric thesis. Reanalyzing the epistemological roots of anti-psychiatric movement is an important mean of stimulating the essential discussion regarding the current contradictions between theory and practice in the area of mental health.
Notas para uma reflexão sobre consciência e inconsciente na fenomenologia
Authors: HOLANDA Adriano
Published: February 2021

The article proposes to discuss the concepts of the unconscious and conscience, from a phenomenological reference. Starting from the metaphor of a semantic analysis of the word “unconscious”, seek to develop reflections around its significance, making a contraposition with “awareness” and “conscious”. In this sense, still permeates the ideas of structure and process, as well as act and content, in the direction of the distinction between substantive and adjective. As analogy, take some ideas of Theodor Lipps in respect of the unconscious, as an entry to the subject of conscience in phenomenology using psychopathology and the criticism of Merleau-Ponty about the idea of interiority in psychology, to defend, finally, the idea of a conscience as position of the subject in the world, and affirm the phenomenology as a phenomenology of conscience in the world.
O inconsciente na interpretação clínica analítico-comportamental
Authors: SILVEIRA Jocelaine Martins da , ALMEIDA Lázaro de
Published: February 2021

The aim of this article was to describe the clinical behavior analysis background related to the topic unconsciousness. In order to understantd the topic, some B. F. Skinner’s publicatons about unconscious were examined, as well as some publications in the clinical behavior analysis field. Results indicated that, according to Behavior Analysis, there are two main conditions on which the term unconscious is applied in certain theoretic traditions in Psychology. Both conditions depend on a social-verbal environment that teaches self-descriptive behaviors and also teachs the response class of avoiding such descriptions. The first condition relies on the unconsciousness caused by the lack ou poor exposure of a verbal environment which would promote the knowlege about what one has done, what one is doing, what one tends to do or about the controling variables of a given behavior. The second condition in which the term unconscious is used is closely related to what certain theories would call repressed unconscious and it is produced by punishing contingencies. In the clinical behavior analysis, these both conditions are analysed, but the sencond type is specially focused, that is, those conditions that produce the response class of escaping/avoiding the de tacts of punishable behaviors.

Published: February 2021

Aim      To evaluate the dynamics of indexes of oxidative stress and markers of myocardial injury and dysfunction in patients with aggressive type lymphomas during the antitumor therapy.

Material and methods  This study included 75 patients with lymphoproliferative diseases of aggressive type. The main group consisted of 53 patients who received one course of antitumor therapy during the study. The comparison group consisted of 22 patients who have not received any specific treatment so far. Troponin I (TnI), high-sensitivity troponin (hsTnI), heart-type fatty acid binding protein (Н-FAВР), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-prоBNP), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were measured in patients of both groups at baseline, and in the main group, they were measured at 4 hours after administration of antitumor agents and on completion of the course. Functional status of the cardiovascular system was evaluated by electrocardiography in all patients at baseline and after the course of antitumor treatment and by echocardiography.

Results The chemotherapy was associated with increased levels of NT-prоBNP, SOD, and MPO (30.670±15.367 vs. 52.309±25.718 pmo l/l; 1.61±0.135 vs. 1.74±0.193 U/ml; and 507.54±91.51 vs. 742.3±49.01 ng/ml, respectively). The study results indicated activation of oxidative stress on the background of the administered antitumor therapy, progressive myocardial dysfunction, and increased frequency of arrhythmic episodes.

Conclusion      The study results allowed identifying NT-prоBNP, MPO, and SOD as important indexes for determining a patient group at high risk of cardiotoxicity during the antitumor treatment.
The English Use of Indonesian Students in Australia: Expectations, Perceptions, and Strategies
Authors: Zulferdi Lazuar Azmi
Published: February 2021

This paper explores the use of English in Australia based on the perspectives of Indonesian students. Studies on perception, expectations, and strategies on social experience have been carried out. However, most of these studies have not established models that consider the relationship among the three elements of expectations, perceptions, and strategies of Indonesian students in the host country, particularly in Australia. This paper attempts to capture the holistic picture of English varieties in the Australian higher education context to draw upon the three elements. Demographic questionnaire surveys and semi-structured interviews were employed to obtain data from fifteen Indonesian students studying in three universities in Melbourne, Australia. This paper's findings suggested that Indonesian students' expectations, perceptions, and strategies varied due to limited awareness regarding English varieties, culture gaps between Australia and Indonesia, and the prominent role of individual self-reflection. It is hoped that this paper may shed light on people’s understanding of the challenges, experiences, and the general wellbeing of international students who choose to study in Australia for their tertiary education.

Published: February 2021

Los modelos de equilibrio general computable (EGC) son sistemas de ecuaciones matemáticas que permiten describir una economía completa. Intensivos en datos, estos requieren que la información utilizada para resolver dichas ecuaciones esté organizada de manera particular que toma la forma de una Matriz de Contabilidad Social (MCS), la cual describe el flujo circular de transacciones entre agentes económicos para un periodo de referencia. En este documento se describe el procedimiento seguido para la construcción de una MCS para Costa Rica para el año 2016, la cual utiliza, tanto los Cuadros de Oferta y Utilización, como las Cuentas Económicas Integradas más recientes del Sistema de Cuentas Nacionales del Banco Central de Costa Rica (BCCR) como fuente principal de datos. La MCS resultante identifica 139 actividades y 183 productos. Además de detallar los pasos tradicionales para la construcción de este tipo de matrices, este documento constituye una contribución importante al estado de la ciencia en Latinoamérica al proveer una descripción detallada de todos los ajustes necesarios para desagregar actividades económicas, productos y factores productivos.

El objetivo de la investigación fue analizar la influencia de los audios de Mindfulness sobre las capacidades disposicionales de una población adolescente para estar atentos y conscientes de la experiencia del momento presente. El ejercicio se implementó en un centro de Formación Profesional contando con 13 participantes y 18 estudiantes en el grupo de control. Se utilizaron como instrumentos de análisis los cuestionarios validados CAMM, EAP y MAAS-A. Se realizó un análisis de varianza que mostró que quienes recibieron la intervención presentaron pequeñas diferencias en las puntuaciones promedio de ítems concretos para los respectivos cuestionarios trabajados en el proyecto, no encontrándose resultados entre las puntuaciones globales de los cuestionarios entre clases.
Látlak, nézlek - minek nevezzelek?
Authors: Honti László
Published: February 2021

A dolgozat írója két kérdésre próbál választ találni a magyar -lak/-lek (lát-lak 'látlak', néz-lek 'nézlek') magyar szóvéggel kapcsolatban: (1) Ez a végződés a határozott vagy a határozatlan ragozáshoz tartozik? (2) Hogyan jött létre ez a bonyolult befejezés? Az első kérdésre az a válasz, hogy az ilyen igealakok funkciójukat tekintve határozott tárgyakra utalnak, holott az alanyra utaló személyes végződésük -k közvetlenül a határozatlan ragozáshoz kapcsolja őket. A szerző a -lak/-lek igealakot veszi fel, hogy a közvetlen tárggyal az -l- elemmel társuljon, és morfológiailag és így funkcionálisan egy meghatározott objektumra utal – de nem a határozott ragozás részeként alkotott igekötőt fejezi ki, hanem inkább egyedi és egyedi jelenség legyen. A második kérdésre a leghitelesebb válasz valójában már több mint 100 éve megszületett, amelyről időnként vitatkoztak egyesek: a -lak/-lek végződés a gyakori (és denominális) egyes szám első személyéből alakult ki. -l utótagú igék metaanalízis segítségével. A -lak/-lek végződéshez két toldalék társult: a 2sg -l verbális végződése és a -l gyakori (és denominális) utótag, amelyek egymással homofonikusak, így a 2sg objektum és a 1sg alany.
A Toldi tőkészletének eredetéről
Authors: Horváth László
Published: February 2021

A szerző immár több mint húsz éve foglalkozik etimológiai statisztikákkal. 2017-ben a legismertebb magyar eposz, Arany János Toldi című költeményének származási statisztikáját állította össze a benne előforduló szavak és lemmák leltározása és előfordulása (típusai és jelzői) tekintetében. Jelen írás a 2017-es dokumentum párja, bizonyos tekintetben kiegészíti azt. Ezúttal a szerző a származási kategóriák arányait tárja fel a versben szereplő szavak tövei tekintetében. Egyrészt az eredményeket összehasonlítjuk a korábbi tanulmány eredményeivel, másrészt a jelen írás a jövőbeni hasonló vizsgálatok összehasonlítási alapjául szolgál. A szerző reméli, hogy elemzéseinek eredményeit az általános iskolától a doktori képzésig az oktatás különböző szintjein hasznosítani tudják.
Szükséges-e mérni a modális erőt, és ha igen, hogyan?
Authors: Kugler Nóra
Published: February 2021

Három magyar modális határozószóra (talán, valószínűleg, vélhetőleg) végzett kérdőíves vizsgálat alapján a dolgozat a modális erő vizsgálatának szükségessége mellett érvel, funkcionális szemszögből való értelmezése mellett. A modális erő kontextusfüggő jelenség, a tokenek szintjén nagy eltérésekkel. Mégis, a séma szintjén lehetőség van tipikus sematikus kontextusok és a kapcsolódó jellegzetes modális erők megállapítására. A cikk empirikus módszertant kínál az ilyen sémák feltárására.
Alaki hasonlóságon alapuló komponenscserék frazeológiai egységekben
Authors: Forgács Tamás
Published: February 2021

A frazeológiai egységek változatai általában úgy jelennek meg és válnak szokásossá, hogy egyes komponenseiket szinonim elemekre cserélik (pl. fabatkát / hajítófát / egy rozsdás pitykét / egy garast sem ér ’egy fillért sem ér’). A régi szövegekben találhatunk példákat olyan komponenshelyettesítésekre, amelyekben egy szót egy hasonló hangzásúra cserélünk, ami némileg értelmetlen kifejezéseket eredményezhet. Ez a tanulmány négy ilyen példát mutat be a középmagyar korból, és bizonyítja, hogy ezek nem megszokott formái, hanem a szövegromlás formái.
Hugo a Sancto Caro bibliakommentárjának részlete a Domonkos-kódexben
Authors: M. Nagy Ilona , N. Horváth Margit
Published: February 2021

Jelen írás azt kívánja bemutatni, hogy a Domonkos-kódex – Szent Domonkos élete, több latin forrásból összeállított és magyarra fordított, egyetlen, 1517-ből származó kéziratával – az eddig ismertektől eltérő latin forrás fedezhető fel és azonosítható. 23 sornyi terjedelemben – hozzákapcsolja annak versenkénti magyarázatát Hugo de Sancto Caro (Hugues de Saint-Cher, 1190 k.–1263), neves 13. századi párizsi domonkos teológus, az első domonkos bíboros monumentális Vulgata-kommentárjának idevágó Postilla super librum Sapientie részéből egy kisebb szerkezeti változtatással, egyébként pontos fordításban. A szerzők bemutatják, hogy ez a részlet – beleértve a Vulgata értelmezett verseit is (Bölcs 10,13–14) – hogyan került be a kódex magyar szövegébe. Egy rövid összehasonlítás egy másik népnyelvi kódexben található párhuzamos bibliai idézettel, valamint néhány további megjegyzés az ismeretlen fordítóról.
Egy szovjetizmus története: kolhoz és származékai
Authors: Gazdag Vilmos
Published: February 2021

Az idegen nyelvek hatása a különböző nyelvekre meglehetősen változatos. Kétségtelenül igaz ez a magyar nyelvre is. Az egyes történelmi korszakok nagy presztízsű nemzetközi nyelvei (latin, német, orosz, angol) mellett a magyarra a szomszédos népek nyelvei is jelentős hatást gyakoroltak. Ebben az értelemben az orosz nyelv magyarra gyakorolt ​​hatása kettősnek tekinthető, mert világnyelvi szerepe mellett több évtizeden át szomszédsági viszonyban, 1944–45-től 1989-ig pedig nagyon intenzív kapcsolat a magyar nyelvvel. Ebben a cikkben igyekszünk bemutatni a szovjet mintára létrehozott kolhozok elnevezéseit és az ott végzett munkakörök megnevezését, valamint az elnevezések sokféleségét.
