Cukrászremekek a vallás és a politika sodrásában : Torták és alkotmányos jogok az angol és az amerikai legfelső bíróságok előtt
Authors: Koltay András
Published: December 2020

A vallási meggyőződés kinyilvánítását egyszerre védi a vallás- és a szólásszabadság joga. A szólásszabadságnak ugyanakkor része a hallgatáshoz való jog is, azaz senki nem kényszeríthető a véleménye vagy más véleményének kimondására. A közelmúltban az Egyesült Királyság és az Egyesült Államok bíróságai előtt is felmerült a kérdés, hogy vajon a tortakészítés beszédnek minősül-e, illetve hogy a cukrász megtagadhatja-e a felé irányuló megrendelés teljesítését vallásszabadságára hivatkozva. A felmerült probléma komplex, és a vallás-, valamint a szólásszabadságon túl az egyenlő bánásmód biztosításának, sőt az emberi méltóság védelmének kérdéseit is feszegeti. A tanulmány ezen ügyeket és a megszületett döntéseket tekinti át, és elemezi a szólásszabadság, a diszkriminációtilalom, az emberi méltóság védelme, a vallásszabadság szempontjából.

Authors: Fernandez V. Jose Pablo , Chica H. Gabriela , Goycoolea R. Andres
Published: December 2020

La craneosinostosis se define como el cierre prematuro de una o más suturas del cráneo, que se manifiesta por una forma anormal de la cabeza. Es una condición infrecuente, pero requiere ser reconocida y derivada oportunamente a Neurocirugía para prevenir complicaciones. El objetivo de esta revisión es describir las características clínicas y genéticas más frecuentes de esta patología, su clasificación de acuerdo a la forma del cráneo y los signos más característicos para lograr reconocerla oportunamente. Se realizó una búsqueda de artículos científicos en bases de datos Pubmed, Scielo y EMBASE con las palabras craneosinostosis, plagio, escafo y braquicefalia. Se seleccionaron artículos en español e inglés que describieran las características de la patología y su manejo, optando por revisiones sistemáticas o recomendaciones de sociedades científicas cuando estuvieran disponibles. La craneosinostosis puede presentarse en forma aislada o asociada a otras deformidades. Su clasificación depende de la(s) sutura(s) afectada(s), lo que lleva a la forma característica del cráneo y de la presencia de otras malformaciones. Suele diagnosticarse y derivarse de forma tardía, lo que se asocia a complicaciones como hipertensión endocraneana y alteración del desarrollo encefálico. La cirugía precoz tiene menor comorbilidad y mejores resultados estético. En conclusión, la forma anormal delcráneo debe hacer sospechar la presencia de craneosinostosis, aunque se presente en forma aislada. El manejo quirúrgico antes del año de vida se asocia a mejor pronóstico.

Певец Сибири
Authors: Тихонова Елена
Published: December 2020

В этой работе хочу рассказать о малоизвестных картинах заслуженного художника России Юрия Спиридонова, на которые оказали большое влияние его детские и юношеские годы становления как художника. Эти полотна написаны в период исканий, в манере современного модерна и абстракционизма. Юрий Спиридонов родился среди долган в семье оленевода, затерявшемся в бескрайних просторах Сибири поселке Косистый (залив Кожевникова), расположенном на берегу Северного Ледовитого океана на территории Анабарского района Якутской АССР. После окончания учебы он поступил в ЛГПИ им. А.И. Герцена в г. Ленинграде. В настоящее время живет в Якутске и находится на пике своего творческого пути. В творческих поисках Юрий Спиридонов часто обращается к фольклору и народной философии используя синтез традиций реализма и абстракции в своих произведениях. В этих произведениях показаны общность мировоззренческой философии, поэтики фольклора не только сибирских, но и многих евроазиатских народов. Используя метод «лоскутного одеяла» в абстрактных образах «Мирового дерева», понятный народным массам почти по всей Евразии, он воссоздал мотивы древней Сибири, обитатели которых переселились через Берингов пролив в Северную Америку.

Relationship between User Innovation Activities and Market Performance: Moderated Mediating Effect of Absorptive Capacity and CEO’s Shareholding on Innovation Performance
Authors: Lee Eun Hwa , Kim Choo Yeon , Yoo Jae Wook
Published: December 2020

Although user innovation has been regarded as an important source of firms’ competitive advantage, the internal processes and mechanisms involved in the relationship between firms’ user innovation activities and market performance are seldom studied. By applying moderated mediation analyses, we examine (1) whether firms’ user innovation activities have a positive impact on market performance and (2) how and under what conditions user innovation activities can have a positive impact on a firm’s market performance. The findings on a sample of Korean manufacturing firms indicate that user innovation activities significantly increase firms’ innovation performance, which consequently leads to superior market performance (confirming the mediation effect of innovation performance). Additionally, we observe the positive mediation effect of innovation performance only in firms with higher levels of absorptive capacity (confirming the moderated mediation effect of absorptive capacity). Further analysis confirms that the positive interaction effects between user innovation activities and absorptive capacity on market performance through innovation performance were more pronounced for firms with higher Chief Executive Officer (CEO) shareholding levels (confirming the moderated mediation effect of CEO’s shareholding). Our findings provide theoretical and practical implications on the successful implementation of user innovation strategies.
A New S-Box Generation Method and Advanced Design Based on Combined Chaotic System
Authors: Zhu Ding , Tong Xiaojun , Zhang Miao , Wang Zhu
Published: December 2020

The construction of substitute box (S-box) has always been an important research direction in cryptography. This paper proposes a new S-box generation method and advanced design based on combined chaotic system. Firstly, our paper proposes a new combined chaotic system and analyze its dynamic behavior. Next, we construct S-box by combining the generated pseudo-random sequence with the linear congruence random number generator, and the standard mapping is introduced to scramble the initial S-box. Then, the S-box optimization method based on advanced genetic algorithm is proposed in this paper. We design adaptive of S-box coding, selection operator, crossover operator and mutation operator to avoid the shortcomings of low calculation efficiency and non-convergence of optimization results in traditional genetic algorithm. Finally, through a lot of security analysis experiments and comparison with other papers, the optimized S-box has better cryptography characteristics and can resist linear attacks and differential attacks.
Treatment burden for patients with multimorbidity: cross-sectional study with exploration of a single-item measure
Authors: Morris James E , Roderick Paul J , Harris Scott , Yao Guiqing , Crowe Sam , Phillips David , Duncan Polly , Fraser Simon DS
Published: December 2020

Background

Treatment burden is the effort required of patients to look after their health, and the impact this has on their wellbeing. Quantitative data on treatment burden for patients with multimorbidity are sparse, and no single-item treatment burden measure exists.

Aim

To determine the extent of, and associations with, high treatment burden among older adults with multimorbidity, and to explore the performance of a novel single-item treatment burden measure.

Design and setting

Cross-sectional postal survey via general practices in Dorset, UK.

Method

Patients ≥55 years, living at home, with three or more long-term conditions (LTCs) were identified by practices. Treatment burden was measured using the Multimorbidity Treatment Burden Questionnaire. Data collected were sociodemographics, LTCs, medications, and characteristics including health literacy and financial resource. Associations with high treatment burden were investigated via logistic regression. Performance of a novel single-item measure of treatment burden was also evaluated.

Results

A total of 835 responses were received (response rate 42%) across eight practices. Patients’ mean age was 75 years, 55% were female (n = 453), and 99% were white (n = 822). Notably, 39% of patients self-reported fewer than three LTCs (n = 325). Almost one-fifth (18%) of responders reported high treatment burden (n = 150); making lifestyle changes and arranging appointments were particular sources of difficulty. After adjustment, limited health literacy and financial difficulty displayed strong associations with high treatment burden; more LTCs and more prescribed regular medications were also independently associated. The single-item measure discriminated moderately between high and non-high burden with a sensitivity of 89%, but a specificity of 58%.

Conclusion

High treatment burden was relatively common, underlining the importance of minimising avoidable burden. More vulnerable patients, with less capacity to manage, are at greater risk of being overburdened. Further development of a single-item treatment burden measure is required.

Worldwide, higher education is considered as a driver of economic, social and the political changes driving global knowledge (Ngoma, Ntale & Abaho 2017). Besides the increase access to education, the quality of graduate reflected by their academic performance is worrying (Ridzuan, Yunus, Abdullah, Bakar, Azlan & Ramlan 2018). Paloș, Maricuţoiu and Coste (2019), noticed that a large number of enrolled student graduates with poor grades or fail to graduate. In an attempt to retain and capture market share with the increase in study options, higher education all over the world are constantly struggling to provide a distinctive learning experience necessary to improve their students' performance (McGillicuddy & McGloin 2018). Considering the increasingly competitive and dynamic education environment, higher education can no longer ignore the needs and factors required to enhance student performance. Poor student performance in higher education institution has been a major source of concern for decision makers in the educational sector. Lai (2015), posits that the poor student performance can be attributed to the student-related factors such as attendance classes, score in high school, competence in quantitative subject and preparation to exam or tests. Moreover, Glew, Ramjan, Salas, Raper Creed and Salamonson (2019) state that poor attitude to the subject, lack of innovative teaching techniques, inadequate materials and inadequate funding to support the students negatively impact the performance of student. In addition, most prior research on performance has been done at high school or colleges, rather than at university level (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) 2017). While, studies on student performance in developed countries are well documented, little attention has been dedicated in less developed countries such as South Africa (Ngoma et al., 2017). Given the difference between culture in developed and less developed counties, this study focused on investigating the antecedents of student performance in South Africa.

Through the inclusion of advertisements onto VLEs, HEIs have the potential of generating additional revenue through the use of the virtual learning environments (Ogba et al., 2012:64). As HEIs globally and in South Africa particularly, begin to investigate measures and ways in which they can increase revenue and decrease costs, the VLEs already implemented in most HEIs may be the key (Browne, 2010:17). By incorporating advertisements onto the VLEs of HEIs, HEIs have an opportunity to reduce the significant financial costs associated with implementing, using and maintaining their chosen VLEs, without decreasing the value of the service provided, which could provide a source of long-term sustainable revenue for HEIs. Although integrating advertisements onto a VLE is advisable due to the financial implications, there is a scarcity in research on how the users of the VLEs, mainly students, will respond to the presence of advertisements on these VLEs (Ogba et al., 2012:64).

How Self-Expressive Brands Influence Brand Love and Brand Advocacy: A Study on Social Media
Authors: Septyani Sarah Dwi , Alversia Yeshika
Published: December 2020

One of reasons of consumer selects a particular brand is to develop their "self" and show it to the public or even to achieve their identity goals (Escalas and Bettman, 2003). Fournier (1998) also stated that a brand is able to reflect important aspects of individual's identity and express the significant aspect of their "self". The term to express this phenomenon is self-expressive brands. Because of the existence of the brand's ability to express consumer's self, so consumer will select particular brand far beyond its functional benefit (McDonald and Wilson, 2011).

Authors: Jamal Hassan Radwan , Wok Saodah
Published: December 2020

In today’s world, many international students from other countries arriving at the host nation are exposed to a wide range of local cultures and values. Malaysia, being a multi-ethnic, multi-religious, and multi-cultural country, is put in a unique position that attracts many international students and foreigners alike. Regardless, many international students experience a clash of cultures between their own and the host’s culture, which if not dealt with could have detrimental effects on areas such as studies, social-circles, and self-esteem. Therefore, this study explored the challenges that both undergraduate and postgraduate international students of IIUM encounter when arriving in Malaysia. This study employed a quantitative research design, using the survey method with a questionnaire as the research instrument for data collection. In this study, students aged 21 years old and above were surveyed. This study was based on the theory of cross-cultural adaptation, using the U-curve model that displays each stage of adaptation every student goes through. The findings demonstrated that the cultural stage of adaptation had a positive relationship with the cultural stage of euphoria, the cultural stage of culture shock, and the cultural stage of adjustment. Based on the theory of cross-cultural adaptation as a guide, all the hypotheses were supported in which all relationships were found to be positive and significant.

The tourism sector is one of the main contributors to Malaysia’s economic growth. This is based on the current statistics for 2019 which recorded an increase in foreign tourist arrivals of 2.7 percent, with an increase in revenue of 6.8 percent over the previous year. In this regard, the services sector is an important component in the tourism industry that brings revenue and contributes to the growth of employment opportunities and the country’s economy. However, the high turnover rate in the hospitality industry has been a concern for the organization and a major issue for the human resources department. Therefore, this study aims to identify the relationship between reward factors and job security to the intention to quit. This study involved respondents among hotel workers operating in the northern states of Peninsular Malaysia. The data of this study was collected using a distributed questionnaire while the data analysis process involved the use of the Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) application. The results of the data analysis found that the reward factor has a significant negative relationship to the intention to quit among the respondents. Meanwhile, the job security factor does not have a significant relationship with the intention to quit.

Waqf and Endowment in education are two bodies that delivered charitable services for the education community into areas including social welfare, research, infrastructure development, and general well-being at learning institutions. However, in spite of playing an applaudable role in educational institutions, the experience of waqf and endowment in learning institutions in Malaysia has been evidently opposed to the experience in the West. The objective of the research is to seek the level of knowledge and awareness among the community in the learning institutions in Malaysia on waqf and endowment. The study of the research will focus on the survey that has been conducted at selected higher learning institutions and a discussion on factors that contribute to the level of knowledge and awareness of the matter. Hence, the research will also provide solutions and suggestions for improvement in order to maintain good practice and governance as well as its challenges in waqf and endowment at learning institutions. It is hoped that this research will help to provide suggestions to enhance the development of the education system as well as the development of the economy in Malaysia.
A REVIEW ON HUMAN ERROR IN MALAYSIA MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES
Authors: Yeow Jian Ai , Ng Poh Kiat , Tai Hen Toong , Chow Mei Min
Published: December 2020

Human error is a serious concern in manufacturing industries. It affects product error and liability and even leads to workplace injuries or fatalities. Malaysia has recorded a worrying figure of workplace accidents and injuries. In 2018 alone, there were more than 2700 workplace accidents which led to disabilities and death. A workplace accident would result in a no-win situation for a company. Manufacturing sectors in Malaysia make the highest claims from the total cost of accidents and injuries. The Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) in Malaysia also imposes a fine for companies who breach safety and health regulations in the workplace. Inspections are carried out to ensure that manufacturers obey the rules of occupational safety and health (OSH), and fined for being errant employers. However, these penalisations are often due to the negligence and lack of awareness among employers and employees. Hence, it is of interest for researchers to identify the root causes of human error among manufacturing industries in Malaysia. This review highlights the common causes of workplace accidents and injuries in manufacturing through observation. Several well-known human error models since 1983 are also investigated. The potential outcome of this review is to improve OSH awareness among manufacturers for a more sustainable future in their business, employment, and social well-being.

Authors: Nga Tran Thi , Dao Ho Thi Anh
Published: December 2020

In the last decades, the concept of sustainable development has been a popular subject in academic researches and the business community. To be considered as a sustainable business, becoming an environmentally friendly organization is critical. Environmental management accounting is an important tool to help enterprises to reach this goal. However, the application of environmental management accounting in Vietnam is still low in comparison to its role. The paper uses a case-study method that chooses a tire manufacturing company in central Vietnam to identify environmental cost, apply material flow accounting cost, and build criteria for environmental performance evaluation. The suggestion for the improvement of environmental management accounting implementation in Vietnam is also discussed. This study hopes to contribute to the popularization of environmental management accounting in the Vietnam business community.
ACCULTURATION STRATEGY AND DIFFERENT CULTURAL RESULTS AMONG THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS OF THE PUBLIC UNIVERSITY OF MALAYSIA

Published: December 2020

Acculturation is understood as a continuation of the process of accepting foreign cultural elements without losing the original cultural identity. Visibility as a result of acculturation culture is more easily achieved with the inclusion of material elements such as the process of borrowing language, the influence of clothing and food. Yet non-material cultural elements such as ideology and thought are more difficult to materialised. Therefore, the focus of the discussion of this paper is to identify the process of acculturation and different cultural outcomes based on mergers, clashes, or cultural isolation. This paper focuses on empirical data obtained from in-depth interviews with a group of international students currently studying at Public Universities of Malaysia. The selection of narrative quotations based on the views of the informants was used to support the acculturation strategies adapted by the group. Four public universities of Malaysia were selected based on the classification of the universities, the background of the establishment of the university, and the annual enrolment of international students. The application of semi-structured interview methods was implemented by utilizing an inductive analysis approach. The results of the study presented five different strategies and cultural outcomes, namely (i) Assimilation of Developing Relationships with New Culture, (ii) Separation of Values and Characteristics of Indigenous Culture Based on Denial of Influence of New Culture, (iii) New Culture and Marginalisation of Indigenous Culture in Daily Life Practices, (iv) Integration of Preservation of Native Culture in Exploring New Culture and (iv) Transmutation of New and Old Culture in the Production of Alternative Culture. The new findings of this study had proven that the acculturation strategies used by the international student group at Public Universities of Malaysia have given different implications for the results of collateralisation. Some of the factors that contributed to the acceptance and rejection of acculturation are the age of young international students who are around the early twenties and therefore immature, educational background and family influence, status as a foreigner who does not reside for a long time in the host country, the cultural distance between the country of origin and the host country as well as justification for student mobility aimed at furthering their studies abroad.

A myth is defined as a traditional story about historical events that serves to unfold part of the world view of a people or explain a practice, belief, or natural phenomenon. Opinions to elaborate on this editorial were gathered from 54 researchers located in both developed and developing countries. As expected, their thoughts and ideas covered many aspects that may be considered myths, but the majority tend to agree on the two presented here. For each case, I provide supporting thoughts and objective facts that either confirm or disconfirm the myths.
PLANEJAMENTO E GESTÃO URBANA PARA OS 99%: UMA APROXIMAÇÃO ENTRE AS TEORIAS FEMINISTAS E O CAMPO DO URBANISMO
Authors: Alves Cordeiro Vanessa , Sousa de Assis Raimundo Jucier
Published: December 2020

Este artigo foi originado pela seguinte provocação: como o planejamento urbano e a gestão das cidades impactam o desempenho do trabalho de cuidado? A pesquisa teve por objetivo investigar, na literatura publicada e com dados secundários, os processos ocultados na divisão sexual do trabalho reprodutivo e de cuidado, bem como, discutir a vinculação destes com o planejamento urbano e a gestão das cidades no século XXI. Apresenta ainda uma breve análise sobre a interseccionalidade imbricada nestas relações associando gênero, raça e classe. A intersecção destas categorias é imprescindível para a compreensão de como as pessoas que exercem os trabalhos de cuidado e a condição das mulheres urbanas, de forma remuneradas ou não, são afetadas pela lógica de pensar cidade. Para investigar estes processos a pesquisa utilizou-se de uma bibliografia embasada na teoria feminista e teve como centralidade o livro Feminismo para os 99%: um manifesto, texto que nos ajuda a sublinhar a necessidade, para o exercício de um urbanismo verdadeiramente feminista, de um planejamento urbano e gestão das cidades voltados para as necessidades da maioria social. A discussão foi feita à luz de dados estatísticos do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística - IBGE, do Instituto de Pesquisa econômica Aplicada - IPEA e do Observatório de Igualdade de Gênero da América Latina e do Caribe - OIG.

Published: December 2020

En la actualidad es de vital importancia reflexionar sobre el papel que desempeña la formación sociohumanística en la educación integral de los estudiantes en el contexto universitario en general, porque hablar de integralidad supone formar personas con conocimientos, sensibilidades y competencias que les permitan asumir el ejercicio ciudadano de una manera crítica, reflexiva y con posibilidades de incidir en verdaderas transformaciones sociales. Es necesario cimentar una comprensión interdisciplinar acerca del compromiso que tiene las diferentes áreas del conocimiento frente a la formación integral que contribuya a transformar sus prácticas, tanto en el ámbito de los procesos educativos como también las relaciones entre disciplinas y profesiones, ciencia y tecnología, entre otras dimensiones.
Implicit Borrowing as a Mechanism for Enriching Modern Russian
Lexicon: Forms, Causes, Findings
Authors: Malakhovskaya Mariya
Published: December 2020

Implicit borrowing implies that the recipient language receives new

meanings from the donor language without obtaining new phonetic forms. In

contrast to direct material borrowings, it has not been thoroughly studied yet.

However, there is a need to subject this phenomenon to careful research since in

recent decades it has become increasingly widespread in Russian lexicon and its

findings may have an impact on how the language implements its cognitive and

communicative function.

This article attempts to investigate the mechanisms that lead to implicit borrowing, as well as to study its causes and consequences. The author analyzes the criteria available in the linguistic literature for identifying specific forms of this phenomenon and supports the view that there are only two forms of implicit borrowing such as semantic calquing (polysemy copying) and material borrowing of new words that are homonymous to previously borrowed words. These two types differ in their causes and communicative consequences. Recent semantic calques in Russian lexicon mainly appear due to «semantic restoration» which consists in expanding the meanings of previously borrowed words by copying the polysemantic patterns of their English counterparts. They usually do not have a long-term negative impact on communication. In contrast to them, homonyms of previously borrowed words appear as a result of cross-linguistic influence and, as the case study of the noun «ambition» and its derivatives shows, they can cause tangible communication problems. Hence, it is important that the linguist should be able to distinguish between these two forms of contact language influence, since only on this basis expert recommendations can be developed for each case of implicit borrowing.
TRANSEXUALISMO MASCULINO HOJE E A QUESTÃO DE IDENTIDADE
Authors: Meyer da Silva Laura
Published: December 2020

O Transexualismo constitui-se em um difícil tema psiquiátrico e social. Os psicanalistas, como inúmeros outros especialistas, interessaram-se pelo tratamento desse transtorno, tentando investigar e compreender a psicopatologia subjacente. A literatura psicanalítica não é extensa, as contribuições ao assunto não são muitas, tampouco atuais. O presente trabalho visa fornecer uma tentativa de entendimento psicanalítico sobre o Transexualismo, correlacionando os achados psicanalíticos já descritos. Pretende-se verificar se existe um consenso de opiniões entre os autores e se é possível identificar uma teorização psicanalítica do Transexualismo, abordando a questão da identidade. A autora conclui com observações teóricas relativas ao material apresentado, juntando-as com vinhetas clínicas de quatro pacientes.

POR QUE ELAS FINGEM O PRAZER?
Authors: Macedo de Araújo Luiza
Published: December 2020

O orgasmo tem sido uma das sensações mais valorizadas pelas mulheres na atualidade. A tradição cultural não valorizou o orgasmo feminino até meados do século XX quando, em função de movimentos que já vinham sendo fermentados há décadas, surgiu a contra-cultura nos anos 60, tendo uma das suas vertentes o movimento feminista. Uma das reivindicações deste movimento foi o direito ao prazer, desvinculado da procriação. O orgasmo passou, então a ser meta valorizada pelas mulheres. Porém, nem todas o vivenciam e muitas simulam-no por diversas razões. Este trabalho procura discutir a ligação entre o orgasmo feminino, a cultura e uma das formas que as mulheres utilizam para reduzir o conflito entre o comportamento valorizado socialmente, que se tornou símbolo da funcionalidade sexual feminina, e as suas reais sensações, que muitas vezes e por diversas razões, não inclui o orgasmo.

CONFERÊNCIA: CASAMENTO E SEXUALIDADE NA PÓS-MODERNIDADE
Authors: Do Carmo Andrade e Silva Maria
Published: December 2020

Os casais, assim com as pessoas e a sexualidade que os compõem, sofrem influências ideológicas do momento sócio-histórico, no qual estão inseridos. Porém, as pessoas independentemente da época e da cultura, enfrentam a questão da separação e, para tal, procuram através da união com o outro, transcender à solidão. Assim, procurou-se neste texto, enfocar as questões da atração interpessoal e as principais alterações ocorridas nos últimos 50 anos, que de forma direta ou indireta incidiram sobre as relações de casal. Apontando-se para dois pilares ideológicos básicos: o conceito de sexo-reprodução, alterado para sexo-prazer através da contracepção; gerando maior liberdade sexual e, o trabalho fora, anteriormente obrigação ou privilégio masculino, que passou a existir também como realidade feminina. Tais processos atingiram fortemente a estrutura da família nuclear clássica e exigiram várias alterações de papel de gênero. Vivências, que pelas pressões de urgências resolutivas, especial características do mundo atual, têm gerado muitos outros comprometimentos para ambos do par, propiciando novos conflitos, muita ansiedade, relativismos, incertezas e fragilidade dos vínculos.
O PAPEL DA PSICOTERAPIA CONJUGAL NO TRATAMENTO DAS DISFUNÇÕES SEXUAIS MASCULINAS
Authors: Wainberg Lina
Published: December 2020

O conceito de sexualidade abrange muito mais do que a simples penetração pênis-vagina. Abrange todo o em redor, antes durante e depois do ato sexual propriamente dito. Toda a criatividade, o prazer, os "climas", as expressões não-verbais, os afetos... Desta forma, quando lidamos com as disfunções sexuais masculinas, tendemos a servir como recurso de ampliação da vivência de sexualidade. A visão do conceito de melhora também tende a ser ressignificada, conforme cada caso. O tratamento das disfunções sexuais pode obter um resultado mais eficaz e duradouro se abordado no tripé que o sustenta. O tratamento do quadro clínico identificado pode ser dificultado ou facilitado pela relação com a parceira. Esta relação interpessoal pode servir de apoio ou de desvalorização, por exemplo. A dinâmica conturbada do casal pode não suportar a presença de uma limitação parcial da sexualidade e não estar em condições de redimensioná-la. Desta forma, o entendimento preciso da forma como agem as emoções no casal em tratamento, pode funcionar como um recurso interessante. Compreender as lutas de poder, fronteiras interpessoais, flexibilidade ou rigidez, padrões de comunicação, relação com as famílias de origem, crenças, distribuições de papéis etc. devem embasar este entendimento. É fundamental que o casal possa desenvolver uma "distancia ótima", ou ainda melhor, "uma proximidade ótima". Para que a sexualidade possa se desenvolver são necessários dois indivíduos, ou seja, nada de um viver a vida do outro. Inevitavelmente, estaremos nos deparando com os conflitos internos de cada um dos parceiros. O intrapsíquico não poderá ser negligenciado. Até porque, para muitos homens, somente através de uma situação em que sua sexualidade é atingida, é que a busca terapêutica é admitida. A fragilidade vivenciada e entrega aos especialistas proporciona uma disponibilidade de reflexão e mudança. Disponibilidade que permite com que o casal troque receios, medos, frustrações que, talvez em nenhuma outra situação, trocariam. A utilização de técnicas de terapia sexual em paralelo às técnicas de terapia conjugal funcionam muito bem juntas e se complementando.
