Gender Fair Participation for Girls in Co-Curricular Activities (CCA): Barriers and Enablers in Pakistan’s Education
Authors: Uzair-ul-Hassan Muhammad , Parveen Iram , Mishal  , De Souza Joiciane
Published: September 2023

Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) are the part of the students’ life and a way of developing a student holistically. There are different studies which showed that the participation of girls in sports is lower than the boys. Low participation indicates that there are some reasons behind this. As females are an equal and important component of society, therefore, it is essential to enhance the participation of girls in sports for their health and brighter future. The main purpose of the study was to explore the restraining factors in equal gender participation in co-curricular activities in higher education institutions in Sargodha-Pakistan. The current study was mixed method in nature. The population was consisted of all girls who were studying in general public universities of Punjab province. A total of three hundred girls were selected as sample for collecting quantitative data while eight girls were selected for collecting qualitative data. Respondents were selected by multi-stage sampling technique. Data were collected through self-generated questionnaire having forty seven statements and through interview protocol having seven questions. Quantitative data were analysed through SPSS while interviews were analysed through thematic analysis. Percentage, independent sample t-test and one way ANOVA were used for quantitative data analysis. Both the results and discussion visibly showed that there exists familial, institutional and societal barriers involved in equal and fair gender participation of girls in co-curricular. It is recommended that higher education institutions should play their role in making strategic reforms to overcome such barriers which are restraining factors for all girls that make them hesitant to participate in co-curricular activities in universities in Pakistan.
Sociodemographic Variables in Surveys
Authors: Schneider Silke , Palm Lennart
Published: September 2023

Measuring people’s sociodemographic characteristics over time and in different contexts or studies is one of the keys of quantifying social inequalities and social change within any society. While different respondent-based studies usually focus on different topics, almost all of them collect data on some key features defining respondent’s backgrounds and living situations.
Summarizing the measurement of sociodemographic characteristics however, the German survey landscape could be characterized as “same but different”: studies measure the same concepts yet differ in their specific approach, despite the fact that the “Demographische Standards” (Hoffmeyer-Zlotnik et al., 2016) provide recommended questionnaire items since the early 1990s. This has several problematic implications: Firstly, it becomes quite difficult to combine knowledge about groups of respondents with the same sociodemographic characteristics across studies on a macro level, and thus to systematically accumulate knowledge on social inequalities and social change. Secondly, combining different data sets, e.g. in order to be able to analyze small groups or rare phenomena, can become a laborious effort which might still produce questionable results, since key caveats can be overlooked in survey documentation.

The lifecycle of scientific tools comprises the creation of code releases, packages and containers which can be deployed into cloud platforms, such as the Galaxy Project, where they are run and integrated into workflows. The tools and workflows are further used to create training material that benefits a broad community. The need to organize and streamline this tool development lifecycle has led to a sophisticated development and deployment architecture.
Interactive Tools (IT) in Galaxy
Authors: Kayikcioglu Tunc , Srikakulam Sanjay Kumar , Maier Wolfgang , Grüning Björn
Published: September 2023

Galaxy [1] is a GUI-based scientific data management and analysis platform that aims to expand the target audience of scientific computing to scientists without advanced computer literacy or access to computing infrastructure. During the operation of a typical asynchronous workflow, the interaction of the user triggers a job submission to a hosted computing system, the results of which are then reported back to the user upon completion of the task. However, such an asynchronous interaction scheme is not compatible with scientific software that require user interaction during the execution itself (synchronous), e.g. many data visualisation software. Interactive Tools on Galaxy (IT; [2]) leverage tool and job components of Galaxy by taking advantage of the latest containerization solutions to provide access to interactive executable software. With ITs, Galaxy is enabling the more and more common use-case of asynchronous workflows while keeping the possibility to bridge at any time to synchronous workflows and reusing all the other Galaxy data management features.

Authors:   Management Department, Applied College, Jazan University, Jazan, KSA, Ageeli Ather Abdulrahman
Published: September 2023

As global supply chains become increasingly complex and environmentally conscious, the imperative for Sustainability-Driven Decision-Making (SDDM) gains paramount importance. This paper delves into the transformative potential of machine learning in reshaping sustainability practices within supply chains. Leveraging a diverse dataset encompassing provisioning, production, sales, and commercial distribution across clothing, sports, and electronic supplies, we employ a range of machine learning algorithms, including Logistic Regression, Gaussian Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machines, k-Nearest Neighbors, Linear Discriminant Analysis, Random Forest, Extra Trees, XGBoost, and Decision Trees. Our analysis spans critical dimensions of supply chain management, from fraud detection to late delivery prediction, and illuminates the pivotal role of these algorithms in improving sustainability outcomes. Through empirical experimentation, we identify optimal models for each task, revealing their strengths and limitations. Additionally, we visualize feature importance, offering insights into the factors shaping sustainability within supply chains. Our research underscores the symbiotic relationship between data-driven decision-making and sustainable practices, paving the way for more responsible, efficient, and resilient supply chains. As businesses seek to navigate an evolving landscape, the fusion of machine learning and sustainability emerges as a compelling paradigm, fostering a future where supply chains not only optimize operations but also contribute to global sustainability goals.

Published: September 2023

In the context of globalization, the development and management of operations related to products and services are becoming more complex, stakeholders are demanding and aware of the challenges of sustainability along the supply chain. One of them is the clothing industry which is a global industry that provides basic human needs and is one of the industrial sectors that has an impact on the environment and society. To address the risk and opportunity issues of sustainability from an industry and value chain perspective, apply the concept of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). This study aims to design an instrument in the form of a minimum standard to measure supplier performance and analyze it. Using a qualitative analysis method resulting from due diligence on suppliers with a total of 77 question points consisting of 23 questions on the environmental dimension, 23 questions on the social dimension related to employment, and 26 questions related to governance. The results show that 3 suppliers are at the High-performance level, 4 companies are in the Medium-performance category, 5 are companies with low performance and 1 company is in the very low category. By categorizing the highest total gain of ESG, namely 100%, and the lowest score of 34.62%. This value indicates the level of compliance with the minimum standards set. Recommendations for Further Research An even number of due diligence is carried out for categories in the fashion industry (clothing, hats, bags, footwear). The aspects and weights of each of these sustainability aspects can be re-analyzed if used for other types of industries outside the fashion industry.

Authors: Komar Komarudin Humaedi , Gumiandari Septi , Xavier Murphy , Elliot McCarty
Published: September 2023

In learning, teachers need a learning approach that can foster their motivation to learn. An educator is required to be able to design and choose a learning model that suits the needs of students. The problem-based learning model is one of the educational models that can help students develop problem-solving skills so that they can improve student learning outcomes and motivation. This study aims: (1) to determine the increase in extrinsic motivation through the problem based learning model; (2) To find out the learning outcomes and cooperative attitudes of students after using the problem based learning model. This study uses a qualitative approach by conducting interviews based on a list of questions to the informants. The results of this study prove that the application of the problem-based learning model can increase student learning motivation and also increase student knowledge and increase student learning outcomes. This is evident from the results of observations and the results of interviews that have been conducted, and the results obtained are: (1) Implementation of learning using the PBL model increases learning motivation, (2) student learning outcomes through problem-based learning are better than before. This shows that in implementing the lesson plan using the PBL model, it fosters students' curiosity about the material provided by the teacher and increases their understanding. The material provided by the teacher increases in the PBL model. The PBL model has a positive impact on learning activities.

Online shop websites can facilitate company or shop promotions and make it easier for consumers to get information about products from sellers or shops. Limited product merchandising prevented stores from increasing sales, and poor inventory control and manual reporting negatively impacted stores, making sales and inventory reporting difficult. The purpose of this research is to use the waterfall method to create an e-commerce website that can be opened online with an internet network. The method used by researchers in this study is the waterfall method. This method is used by researchers to develop software systems through a sequential software life cycle, starting with analysis, design, coding, and testing. System themes use PHP, HTML, CSS and Notepad while the database uses My-Sql which is accessed via XAMPP localhost. This research produces a web-based e-commerce application that provides real-time stock information, sales reports, stock reports and stores can advertise the products being sold. So that the process of reporting and controlling inventory data is carried out properly, and store marketing has a wider reach, so that store sales can increase.
Psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic: changes over time and the effect of socioeconomic status
Authors: Luedi Chantal , Frank Irène , Krähenbühl Christine , Michel Gisela , Harju Erika
Published: September 2023

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic strongly affected mental health, increasing the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress worldwide. Previous research has shown that low education and low income can negatively impact mental health. During the pandemic, the population of Switzerland had to change their daily lives, which might have influenced their mental health.
AIMS OF THE STUDY: We used longitudinal data on mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic to (a) assess psychological distress in the adult general population, (b) investigate changes in psychological distress during the pandemic, and (c) evaluate the association of income and education with psychological distress.
METHODS: Participants were recruited between January and May 2021 using a random sampling method, provided by the Federal Office of Statistics, from the adult general population in the canton of Lucerne (age ≥20 years, n = 5092). Sociodemographic data were collected with a baseline questionnaire. Mental health data were collected via monthly digital follow-up surveys using the validated Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21, three subscales with five categories from “normal” to “extremely severe”) to assess psychological distress. We used descriptive statistics to measure psychological distress and a one-way repeated measures ANOVA to test for the differences between the mean depression, anxiety, and stress scores over time. We used multilevel ordered logistic regression models to assess the association of income and education with psychological distress, adjusting for sex, age, nationality, employment, and previous Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests, as these factors are known to influence psychological distress and socioeconomic position within countries.
RESULTS: In total, 953 (83%) individuals completed at least one digital follow-up survey (mean age = 57 years, range: 20–91). Most had achieved secondary education (95%) and had a monthly household income of 6001–12,000 Swiss Francs (41%). The majority (>80%) of the population reported “normal” depression, anxiety, and stress levels according to the DASS-21. We found no significant change in any of the subscales over time. Compared to those with middle household incomes, people with low household incomes reported higher anxiety levels (Odds Ratio [OR] = 2.11, p = 0.041). People with a tertiary education reported lower anxiety levels than those with a secondary education (OR = 0.39, p = 0.009).
CONCLUSIONS: Most participants reported normal levels of psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic from February to November 2021. People with lower education levels and low incomes were more vulnerable to anxiety and should be considered in mental health campaigns.
Der US-amerikanische Compliance-Monitor in deutschen Unternehmen
Authors: Eckelmann Eike
Published: September 2023

Although many German companies have already been supervised by a corporate monitor due to pressure from U.S. authorities, the practice lacks guidelines for dealing with this instrument. The author closes this gap with his paper. After a comprehensive analysis of U.S. monitorships, the paper examines how U.S. monitors fit into German stock corporation, capital market and liability law. In addition to central aspects such as the (third-party) liability of the monitor and the compatibility of the monitor's actions with the management responsibility under stock corporation law, the author also examines the liability risks for the management board and supervisory board in a monitorship, for example with regard to the monitor's recommendations and the monitor's participation in board meetings. The paper closes with a glance at German monitors.

A service evaluation of patients requiring growth modification in a public service setting.
Authors: Lemasney Natasha , O'Rourke Niamh , Fahey Triona , Dobbyn Ross Lorna
Published: September 2023

Aim

To conduct a service evaluation of patients who had functional appliance treatment to correct Class II malocclusions in a public orthodontic clinic. To evaluate the effect of prioritisation and earlier treatment of these patients on treatment duration and patient compliance.

Methodology

The prioritised treatment group (PTG) had twin block appliances fitted when they were 11 or 12 years old. In comparison, the routine treatment group (RTG) had twin block appliances fitted when they were 13 or 14. Electronic patient records were screened to find a sample of 100 patients from each cohort. The number of compliance issues, functional appliance treatment duration, fixed appliance treatment duration and total treatment duration was recorded retrospectively from patient charts.

Results

While mean total treatment time was similar across the two cohorts, the PTG did have significantly shorter fixed appliance treatment durations than the RTG. The PTG was also found to have better compliance than the RTG.

Conclusion

Prioritising patients who require functional appliance treatment does not reduce total treatment duration. A correlation between earlier treatment, improved patient compliance, and a shorter course of fixed appliance therapy can be seen, which may prove clinically beneficial. Further research in this area would be valuable.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), coronavirus infection (COVID-19, (COronaVIrus Disease 2019) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus [1]. SARS-CoV-2 virus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-related coronavirus 2. Initially considered pulmonary - respiratory pathology, then it turned out to be poly-systemic, with multi-inflammation of many other organs, and central nervous system. Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) [2], SARS-CoV-2 liver infection [3]. In pediatrics Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) or PMIS-TS (Pediatric MIS temporarily associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection) [4,5], SARS-COV-2/ COVID-19 in children induce Kawasaki-Like Disease [6]. Neurological manifestations [7], recurrence of COVID-19 infection with meningitis without pulmonary involvement [8]. Brain damage in COVID is primarily neurological, as a material signaling pathway of inflammatory COVID-infection of cerebral vessels. This is important, from the release of these patients, from additional stress, suffering, stigmatization in society, their isolation, intimidation, coercion (bullying) with violation and restriction of their rights. Since, concomitantly with inflammatory lesions of many organs, cognitive deficits are a component of the post-acute consequences of COVID-19 (PASC), where the role of the kynurenine pathway is significant with temporary cognitive impairment [9]. The main pathway for the breakdown of tryptophan is an amino acid, without which the synthesis of serotonin is impossible, which controls the cycles of sleep and wakefulness, which is the precursor of the sleep hormone melatonin In patients with COVID-19, an imbalance of T-helpers 1 and 2 leads to a cytokine storm that can contribute to myocardial damage [10]. MIS is conditioned caused by immunocompromising (IC) CHAOS - [C]ardiovascular Compromise: shock; [H]omeostasis; [A]poptosis; [O]rgan Dysfunction; [S]uppression of the Immune System with the development of Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) [11,12]. With pronounced multiple and other symptoms: Electro - Ion Membrane Distress Syndrome (Syndrome Maria & Irina Vasilieva) [13,14] with membrane manifestations of electrical storm or electromembrane paralysis; Capillary Leak Syndrome; Microcirculatory-Mitochondrial Distress Syndrom [15,16].

Antioxidant activity of plant secondary metabolites
Authors: Marčetić Mirjana , Arsenijević Jelena
Published: September 2023

Oxidative stress can induce the development of many different disorders. Plant secondary metabolites may act as antioxidants by neutralisation of free radicals and by stimulation of endogenous antioxidant mechanisms. One of the important secondary plant metabolites with antioxidant activity are polyphenols. They can exert activity through different mechanisms depending on their structure. Polyphenols are widely present in herbal drugs, and some of the commonly used ones are aronia berry (Aroniae fructus) and bilberry fruit (Myrtilli fructus), both rich in anthocyanins and tannins and with high antioxidant activity. The main compounds in turmeric rhizome (Curcumae rhizome) are curcuminoides that manifest antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Furthermore, tea leaf (Camelliae sinensis folium) and coffee bean (Coffeae semen), highly present in everyday life, significantly contribute to the daily intake of antioxidants and provide necessary protection of the organism from the consequences of oxidative stress.

Published: September 2023

Introduction. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. Apraxia can be one of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Apraxia is defined as an acquired deficit in the execution of movements that cannot be explained by motor or sensory impairments. Aim. The main aim of this research is to determine the types of apraxia in people with Alzheimer's dementia and to point out the importance of early rehabilitation of these patients. Method. The sample consists of 15 patients with Alzheimer's dementia (amnestic type - multiple domains) aged from 50 to 85 years. In addition to the free interview, which follows predetermined principles, a neurological clinical assessment of motor skills and sensitivity and a neurobehavioral assessment of appearance, behavior, and emotions were conducted. The examination was conducted according to the established criteria at the Antamedica Polyclinic in Belgrade. Results. The results of our study show that patients with Alzheimer's disease are impaired in both the first and second stages: time orientation, attention, arithmetic, remembering, naming, writing, and copying figures. On the other hand, other cognitive functions are relatively well preserved in these stages of the disease. Patients with Alzheimer's disease have an impaired ability to understand spoken and written language. In contrast, no deficits were found on the verbal-visual discrimination test. Conclusion. Assessment of apraxia has become an important aspect of neurodegenerative diseases and a main indicator for psychotherapy and occupational therapy, contributing to the quality of life of the elderly, primarily with cognitive decline.
Experimental and theoretical optimization of Chelidonium Majus (Papaveraceae) extract as an environmentally friendly inhibitor for corrosion of a-brass in nitric acid solution
Authors: Fouda Abd , Salem Aya , Wahba Ahmed , El-Maksous Samir , El-Haddad Mahmoud
Published: September 2023

The research paper discusses the study of the inhibition rates of Chelidonium Majus (Papaveraceae) plant extract (CME) on abrass in 1.0 M HNO3 solution. The study was carried out using chemical and electrochemical techniques, which showed results of up to 97% inhibition with 150 ppm at 250C. For the polarization results, CME is a mixed-type inhibitor. The increase in the charge transfer resistance and the decrease in the capacitance of the double layer with increasing concentration were observed by Nyquist diagrams and it was found that the inhibition process follows the Langmuir isotherm which proves the formation of a monolayer on the surface of the abrass. Quantum chemical calculations were performed using the DFT method to determine the active centres of the CME which responsible for adsorption, as well, to their possible interaction mechanism with the brass surface.

A diferencia de otros derechos, la educación tiene como fin específico el de garantizar que todas las personas, sin distinción, tengan acceso a las herramientas que le permitan desarrollar sus conocimientos y su personalidad. Sin embargo, en la práctica los Estados no siempre pueden proporcionar las garantías necesarias para su cumplimiento.

Con base a la aplicación de criterios de selección, se analizaron ocho artículos publicados dentro de los últimos cinco años en diferentes bases de datos de revistas indexadas. Los resultados que se obtuvieron por medio de la revisión sistemática, reflejaron que la mayoría de las investigaciones realizadas con relación a esta temática, han hecho mayor hincapié en la La evidencia recopilada en los estudios revisados, puso en evidencia que en muchos casos se vulneran dichos derechos lo que puede suponer un limitante para que los estudiantes alcancen el pleno desarrollo de su personalidad.

ABSTRACT

The glory of the cross of Jesus is the meaning of God's love for humans who have experienced God's choice of salvation. The cross of Christ produces love and punishment for sin.

Authors: Rollis  , Trisniwati Endas
Published: September 2023

Di dalam dunia transportasi darat masih sering dilihat terjadinya pelanggaran-pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh pengendara kendaraan bermotor, seperti menggunakan gawai saat berkendara, gawai yang dimaksud di sini adalah suatu peranti atau instrumen yang memiliki tujuan dan fungsi praktis yang secara spesifik dirancang lebih canggih dibandingkan dengan teknologi yang diciptakan sebelumnya. Penggunaan gawai saat berkendara seperti memainkan gawai, memainkan action camera, dan sebagainya sangat berbahaya baik bagi pengendara itu sendiri ataupun orang lain, karena dapat mengganggu konsentrasi dan menyebabkan kecelakaan saat berkendara.

Penegakan hukum terhadap pengendara kendaraan bermotor yang berkendara sambil menggunakan gawai di kota Palangka Raya merupakan suatu usaha untuk mewujudkan ide-ide keadilan, kepastian hukum dan kemanfaatan sosial menjadi kenyataan. Jadi penegakan hukum pada hakikatnya adalah proses perwujudan ide-ide. Pengaturan tentang larangan berkendara kendaraan bermotor sambil menggunakan gawai diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 22 Tahun 2009 tentang Lalu Lintas dan Angkutan Jalan.

Upaya pencegahan yang dilakukan Kepolisian Resort Kota Palangka Raya untuk mengatasi pengurangan orang yang bermain gawai dilakukan dengan berbagai cara yaitu dengan cara 3E, yakni Enginering, Education dan Enforcement. Cara lainnya adalah dengan melakukan sosialisasi atau penyuluhan terhadap bahayanya menggunakan gawai saat berkendara.
PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM TERHADAP KORBAN TINDAK PIDANA KEKERASAN SEKSUAL DALAM LINGKUNGAN PENDIDIKAN

Pendidikan merupakan salah satu faktor utama bagi pengembangan sumber daya manusia karena pendidikan diyakini mampu meningkatkan sumber daya manusia sehingga dapat menciptakan manusia produktif yang mampu memajukan bangsanya. Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2003 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional Pasal 1, pendidikan adalah usaha sadar dan terencana untuk mewujudkan suasana belajar dan proses pembelajaran agar peserta didik secara aktif mengembangkan potensi dirinya untuk memiliki kekuatan spiritual keagamaan, pengendalian diri, kepribadian, kecerdasan, akhlak mulia, serta keterampilan yang diperlukan dirinya, masyarakat, bangsa dan negara. Namun disayangkan Pendidikan di Indonesia tercoreng dengan banyaknya kasus kekerasan seksual yang dialami oleh peserta didik dari tingkat sekolah hingga Pendidikan Tinggi. Periode tahun 2015 – 2021 ada 67 kasus kekerasan terhadap perempuan di lingkungan pendidikan. Sedangkan data dari Komisi Perlindungan Anak Indonesia (KPAI) kasus kekerasan seksual di satuan pendidikan sepanjang 2021 terjadi 18 kasus kekerasan seksual dengan korban sebanyak 207 anak, terdiri dari 126 perempuan dan 71 laki-laki di rentang usia 3-17 tahun.

Kekerasan seksual merupakan suatu tindakan baik yang berupa ucapan ataupun perbuatan yang dilakukan seseorang untuk menguasai serta membuat orang lain terlibat dalam aktifitas seksual yang tidak dikehendaki oleh orang lain tersebut. Unsur penting dalam kekerasan seksual, yaitu adanya unsur pemaksaan dan unsur korban tidak mampu atau belum mampu memberikan persetujuan, misalnya kekerasan seksual pada anak.

Perlindungan terhadap korban kekerasan seksual dalam Undang-Undang nomor 12 tahun 2022 tentang Tindak Pidana Kekerasan Seksual diatur dalam Pasal 42 yang menyatakan: Ayat (1) Dalam waktu paling lambat 1 x 24 (satu kali dua puluh empat) jam terhitung sejak menerima laporan Tindak Pidana Kekerasan Seksual, kepolisian dapat memberikan Pelindungan sementara kepada Korban. Ayat (3) Untuk keperluan Pelindungan sementara sebagaimana dimaksud pada ayat (1), kepolisian berwenang membatasi gerak pelaku, baik yang bertujuan untuk menjauhkan pelaku dari Korban dalam jarak dan waktu tertentu maupun pembatasan hak tertentu dari pelaku. Pasal 45 ayat (1) Dalam hal tersangka atau terdakwa tidak ditahan berdasarkan permintaan Korban, Keluarga, penyidik, penuntut umum, atau Pendamping, hakim dapat mengeluarkan penetapan pembatasan gerak pelaku, baik yang bertujuan untuk menjauhkan pelaku dari Korban dalam jarak dan waktu tertentu maupun pembatasan hak tertentu dari pelaku.
Psykosomatiske lidelser
Authors: Theilgaard Alice
Published: September 2023

De erkendelsesteoretiske problemer, der er forbundet med begrebet psykosomatik omtales indledningsvis. Derefter gennemgås kort de psykoanalytiske synspunkter vedr. psykosomatiske lidelser, der har gjort sig gældende fra 1920'erne, og den udvikling af disse, som objekt-relationsteorierne og selv-psykologien er ansvarlige for. Det påpeges, at sammenkædningen af begreberne vedrørende interagerende psyko-biologiske systemer og identifikationen af mangler i selvreguleringen har dannet en vigtig bro mellem psykosomatisk medicin og moderne psykoanalyse. Endvidere redegøres der for »den alexithyme patient«, og det understreges, at alexithymi er en uspecifik reaktionsmåde. Sluttelig anføres nogle betragtninger over de specielle hensyn, somen psykoterapeutisk indsats over for patienter med psykosomatiske lidelser bør udvise.
Drømmenes væsen
Authors: Vedfelt Ole
Published: September 2023

I min bog Drømmenes dimensioner konkluderede jeg, at drømme er mangetydige og har mange funktioner. Som en konsekvens af dette drøftes muligheden for at sprænge gamle teoretiske rammer og bruge de empiriske data, som står tilbage, til at skabe en mere kompleks og dynamisk teori om drømmenes væsen. Jeg opfatter drømme som grundlæggende uoversættelige, og deres indhold ses som mønstre i en udelt flydende bevidstheds/ubevidsthedsstrøm. Drømmeprocessen karakteriseres ved psykisk intensitet, essens, hypermnesi, musisk udtryk, tids-rum relativitet, forsvarsmekanismer og kanaliseringsprocesser. »Holografisk fordeling« og »mangedimensionalitet« beskrives som to vigtige informationsbearbejdende principper i drømme.
Personrettet og genstandsrettet virksomhed
Authors: Søndergaard Dorte Marie
Published: September 2023

In activity theory the conceptual framework is developed using a binary and hierarchical approach in the reconstruction of the culture-historical evolution and by focusing on the development of tools as the very origin of human species. One of the results is subordination of person related activity (as a non-specific human configuration) below object related activity. The specific character and importance of person related activity for the human species is thereby concealed. It is suggested that the hierarchical approach should be avoided. Three kinds of activities should be conceptualized non-hierarchically: 1. the object related activity, 2.the person related activity and 3. the activity related to social structures. Analytically it would be possible to regard the activity types as independent aspects with specific characters; but emphasis is put on the faet that neither of the activity types can be understood as universal in the human and social context. They are equally important and integrated aspects of human activity, whose mutual relative manifestations would be subject to contextual variations.

Dette essay er genoptrykt fra Politiken, 25. august 1979. Det handler delvis om oplevelsen af billedkunst, men først og fremmestom selve forestillings- og indlevelsesevnen som en grundlæggende dimension i tilværelsen. Udvidelsen af det snævre rum,der foreligger her-og-nu, til andre steder, andre tider, andre måder at være til på. Hermed understreger denne lille artikel,at kunst ikke alene handler om den kreative evne hos nogle udvalgte kunstnere til at skabe kunstværker, men lige så meget omden skabende kraft, der er knyttet til forestillingsevnen hos det såkaldte publikum.
