Loneliness as a way to self-discovery in the essay "Soledad" by Miguel de Unamuno
Authors: Jeszka Adam
Published: May 2024

Solitude is a typically human phenomenon, inscribed in the ontic structure of man. It is not a homogeneous phenomenon as it reveals its various layers depending on the existential experiences of a human being. It can have both an objective and subjective dimension, it can be related to a feeling of loneliness or being lonely, it can provide an opportunity for personal development or put a person in a state of despair, it touches the sphere of the psyche, but also manifests itself somatically. Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936), a Spanish existentialist, in his essay “Soledad” (“Solitude”) points to its personality-forming dimension as an element necessary in the process of forming "I - conscious", influencing the formation of one's own individuality and autonomy in separation from the mass. According to Unamuno, it is an essential factor in developing the skills of self-reflection and critical thinking. In Unamuno's philosophical thought, solitude occupies an important position and is a key concept for understanding all of his work. The term "solitude" is present in his novels, essays, and poetry. The essay “Solitude”, written in 1905, shows it as a phenomenon that organizes human inner life and a factor that harmoniously arranges social relations and deepens interpersonal bonds. Keywords: solitude, distress, Miguel de Unamuno, existence, meaning of life

Authors: Łukowski Karol
Published: May 2024

The concept of thinking, shaping, and functioning of the family proposed in this article aims to strengthen the family, as the environment in which it is situated and the relationships within the family play an important role in the healthy functioning of the family. The experiences presented and the cases described are based on practical activities and observations of families seeking support and help in the field of prevention and psychotherapy. Therefore, the well-being of the family should be based on the responsible fulfillment of roles and clear rules of functioning, which are a source of supportive factors, resources, and circumstances, which in turn leads to a universal family model based on the foundations of the value of existence and the prevention, reduction, and elimination of difficulties and problems that arise. Thus, the choice of life path, the values that guide us, and the way we behave depend on ourselves, our family life, and the environment in which we live.

Authors: Bednarz Bartłomiej
Published: May 2024

Energy drinks are a very popular stimulant among adults, adolescents and children, but the ingredients they contain can have a very harmful effect on the health of children and adolescents. The aim of the study was to determine the attitude of students of classes VII and VIII from schools located in the Bojanów commune to energy drinks. The results showed the scale of consumption of energy drinks among young people and they give a lot to think about. As many as 66 people, or 73 percent of the study group, admitted to consuming energy drinks, of which as many as ten people drank it for the first time at the age of 11, and five at the age of 10. This is very worrying, considering how much caffeine and other substances that, when consumed in excess, are dangerous for young people, are contained in a can of this drink. The fact that nine people who drink energy drinks, when asked if they have ever mixed them with alcoholic beverages, also gives food for thought Key words: youth, energy drinks, caffeine, psychoactive effects, health hazard
Mediation as a method of overcoming the crisis in a judicial attempt to reconciliate the parties in the canonical process
Authors: Greszata-Telusiewicz Marta
Published: May 2024

In the doctrine of procedural canon law, the mediation is most often called an attempt to reconcile the parties. The mediation surprise in its simplicity and, at the same time, is very astonishing in its effectiveness. That is a legal institiution that in its theoretical structure resembles mediation, in the canonical procedural law system it can be used as a settlement, compromise or arbitration court. It is called an attempt to reconcile the parties, reconciliation of the parties, agreement of the parties or atonement of the parties. It is always necessary to recall that the concern for the salvation of souls remains the highest goal of institutions, legal acts and laws, but the protection of unity in faith and in the discipline of marriage, which is the foundation and origin of the Christian family is also the goal. The legislator constantly encourages the judge to try to reconcile the parties - mediation in many types of canonical trials: in contentious trials, in oral trials, in cases to declare nullity of marriage and in cases of separation of spouses. In each of these, the point is to refrain from going to court, which,- althought is the most perfect method of seeking justice among believers - is the last method and must be treated as such. Therefore the dominance over the legal action is taken over by all kinds of pastoral means used to reconcile the parties, because this reconciliation, in their practical form, bears all the hallmarks of the mediation. Key words: mediation, reconcile the parties, canonical trial, marriage processes, marriage law, procedural canon law
Leadership determined by personality in the light of the self-efficacy survey
Authors: Nagody-Nrozowicz Kazimierz
Published: May 2024

This article attempts to show the importance of self-efficacy in forming a leadership attitude. For this purpose, theoretical issues of the theory of social learning were discussed in order to show the characteristics of this subjective property on its basis. Self-efficacy affects the choice of a situation, that is, its rejection or acceptance, depending on the expected consequences. At the same time, the competence attributed to oneself determines the strength of involvement in a given action, as well as perseverance in pursuing the goal. For this reason, it was recognized that it is an extremely important personality trait that significantly determines the performance of managerial roles and supports the process of shaping leadership. The didactic and educational process, as a result of which the leadership attitude is shaped in the professional role played in a specific position of a given social system, begins in the early stages of an individual's socialization, first in primary and then in secondary reference groups. The process of internalizing cultural values and norms is not only extremely complex, but also very effective. Hence, group conformism, which is the basis of culture, is a matrix for the code contained in interpersonal communication and learning processes. The individual, as it were, hereditarily reproduces the code that is implemented in him along with the socio-cultural program of attribution and scripts through which he perceives and interprets social reality within the culture in which he lives. In connection with the above, the indicated interdependence was decided to illustrate the results of literature research, as well as surveys, which were conducted on a group of students of faculties that are associated with the impact of self-efficacy on managerial activities. Keywords: leadership, socialization, personality, organizational culture, self-efficacy

The results of the research proved that representatives of two generations perceive the aforementioned customs differently. Interviewees aged 18-25 are closer to the concept of a public proposal than interviewees aged 25-50. The former also questioned the meaning of the traditional engagement dinner, while the interlocutors in middle adulthood had such an event in their biography. Narrators in early adulthood would like to address their in-laws by their first names. This option was not indicated by any of the respondents in middle adulthood.

Educational leadership and values-based leadership as a response to the contemporary vuca environment
Authors: Balcerzyk Dorota
Published: May 2024

The publication addresses the issue of educational leadership, particularly value-based leadership, which can respond to today's VUCA environment. A critical analysis of the literature and survey research was conducted. A model of educational leadership was proposed that takes into account the basic elements that build the foundation of educational leadership: competencies, values, vision and influence relationships. It was established that in such a challenging environment as the volatile, unstable VUCA environment, values become the foundation, the backbone on which the younger generation can build. Generation Z expects their leader to be guided by values in life. They expect him or her to be a witness to values, a witness to values, not just a preacher of values. The research also resulted in a hierarchy of characteristics/values of the ideal educational leader as determined by Generation Z. The research further showed that the values from the canon of the Greek triad, i.e.: goodness, truth and beauty, are still crucial in the consciousness of the young generation without becoming obsolete. Keywords: educational leadership, leader competencies, values, leadership paradigm, VUCA environment, Generation Z

I will describe a new model of eco-Christian education, in contrast to the destructive influence of digital media. I am referring here to the negative impact of media messages, available online, which give rise to illnesses, frustrations, disorders. Their language, symbols, ideology, moral beliefs are of concern in the context of their transmission of differently ethical and religious values. The main research objective will therefore be a critical analysis of selected children's online games. The methodology chosen for the study will be qualitative and the research method will be a multimodal analysis by Gunther Kress and Theo van Leeuwen. In this paper, I will analyse the selected children's websites in terms of their modality, ideological message, structure, compositional form, and their relation to the other elements of the respective visual message.

Mediation - a chance to restore effective communication between the parties in conflict
Authors: Urbańska Magda
Published: May 2024

The aim of the article is to present the institution of mediation as a useful tool for restoring effective communication in a conflict situation and supporting the dialogue of parties in conflict. The analysis conducted on the basis of the literature on the subject allows for the conclusion that mediation is conducive to improving the communication of the parties disturbed as a result of the conflict, and the participation of an impartial and neutral mediator and the communication techniques he uses contribute to a constructive dialogue, also developing the skills of effective communication of the mediation participants themselves. Mediation contributes to the development of many socially desirable attitudes and skills, which is particularly important from the perspective of raising the young generation. The great practical value of mediation is visible in its use in the school environment as a tool for resolving school conflicts, enabling the improvement of communication, fostering the development of cooperation skills to find a solution that is beneficial to all parties to the conflict. Promoting the mediation approach in schools may also have much broader, socially beneficial implications, manifested by the use of effective communication and constructive conflict resolution skills acquired by young people during mediation in later stages of their adult life. Thus, the article indicates the fundamental importance of restoring effective communication between the parties in conflict in achieving the main purpose of mediation, which is to reach a settlement. Key words: conflict, mediation, effective communication
Way to sanctity of Father Pio
Authors: Zrelli Małgorzata
Published: May 2024

Father Pio is one of the most famous saints of our time and a genuine Christian mystic. One can see in him a clear action of the Holy Spirit, willing readiness and persistent faithfulness in submission to God's action. He lived a life filled with faith, in close contact with supernatural reality. He had full confidence in God and placed all his hope in Him, not only by talking about it, but above all by setting an example with himself. The advice he often gave to the faithful was characterized by great prudence. He treated everyone fairly, he wanted to help everyone get closer to God. His penchant for self-mortification and his love for the Cross prove that he possessed the wonderful virtues of strength and perseverance. His humility is clearly visible in the attitude he adopted in connection with stigmatization. When the stigmata became visible, he did not use the opportunity to flaunt them in front of the faithful, but preferred to hide them. He lived in poverty, completely indifferent to his own needs, worldly goods and honors. Father Pio showed us what true love means. He loved God and neighbor so much that he decided to sacrifice himself. He was crucified without a cross for 50 years. Out of love, he endured unimaginable suffering, which made him a co-redeemer and sharer in Christ's Passion. He showed us how to suffer in order not to drown in despair and not to distance ourselves from God[1]. Key words: Father Pio, stigmata, confession, bilocation, Holy Mass, miracles.

Published: May 2024

Tuberculous gumma is a rare clinical feature of cutaneous tuberculosis. Here we report a case of thoracic tuberculous gumma linked to multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in a patient with multifocal tuberculosis. A 42-year-old male patient, HIV-1 infected, presented with cutaneous abscesses of the left parasternal region whereas he had been treated for one week for pulmonary tuberculosis. He didn’t receive antiretroviral therapy. Radiological investigations showed multiple enlarged mesen- teric lymph nodes. No sternal involvement was noted. A smear exam from the abscesses aspirate and sputum had shown acid fast bacilli. Mycobacterium tuberculosis had been isolated on culture and found resistant to rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and streptomycin. The pa- tient died from acute respiratory failure and cachexy before starting second-line antituberculous drugs. Tuberculous gumma linked tomultidrug-resistant tuberculosis is a rare clinical condition. The absence of rapid clinical improvement during tuberculous gumma should encourage the realization of culture and drug susceptibility testing in order to identify multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
Infection à Helicobacter pylori : revue de la littérature et réalités à Madagascar

Published: May 2024

Helicobacter pylori is the main cause of most gastroduodenal diseases as dyspepsia, gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric mucosa-associated lym- phoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and gastric adenocarcinoma. In developing countries, it appears as a major public health. In Madagascar, the seroprevalence of H. pylori infection is 82% in adults. Diagnosing H. pylori infection is important because its eradication cures most of compli- cations and reduces the incidence of gastric cancer. Cag A, Vac A, OipA and DupA are currently the most described virulence factors of H. pylori. One of the major factors of the development of pangastritis and gastric cancer is the genetic polymorphism of interleukin-1. Diagnosis of H. pylori endoscopic (urease rapid test, histology and culture) and nonendoscopic methods (urea breath test, stool antigen test and antibody response). The choice of these tests depends on their availability and the distinction between tests used to establish a diagnosis of the infection and/or those used to confirm its eradication. In Madagascar, stool antigen test and histology are the two most interesting methods. Nowadays, eradication treatment of H. pylori encounters resistance phenomenon. Thus, treatment should be in accordance with the preva- lence of the resistance to clarithromycin and take in account the availability of Bismuth. In Madagascar, the prevalence of the resistance to clarithromycin is not known and Bismuth is not available, thus the first line therapy re- mains the standard treatment including proton pump inhibitors associated with two antibiotics (amoxicillin, clarithromycine, métronidazole). After failure of two lines of eradication treatment, treatment should be guided by antimicrobial susceptibility testing whenever possible.

The research work was carried out in the semester 2071.2 in the axis called by the school as “humanization cycle, and, integral and integrated formation” and took place in observations of art classes. The study continued with other observations and a semi-structured interview with the art teacher responsible for the mentioned class. The reports give an account of their playful practices applied in the classroom, and also analyze the work carried out in the assembly of the theater play Flicts by Ziraldo (1969), and, as the theater, theatrical games and performances provide clues to think about the appreciation of theater at school. The reflections provide clues for thinking about the children's development, based on the eloquence in the speeches, the body posture, the creativity in giving life to the character on stage, and especially the loss of shyness in theatrical construction when introducing his role. The class's growth was noticeable through theatrical games, especially by the student Pinocchio, who in the observations during some classes, was introspective with little interaction with his colleagues, however, the absence of one of the participants made the student offer himself to play the role, demonstrating great performance and involvement with the theatrical game. In writing, the option is to insert pseudonyms to identify the participants, safeguarding their identities.

A cross-sectional study was conducted to find out the association of social media addiction with academic procrastination, performance, and insomnia.
Place and duration of study:
The study was conducted at department of psychiatry Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Center (JPMC) from 12th July, 2021 till 24th December, 2021.  
Patients and Methods:
This study was open to undergraduate students and those who had recently commenced their internship at JPMC. Any student who was absent from their assigned ward or did not provide consent was excluded from the study. Data was collected using a questionnaire that consisted of three pre-formed scales for social media addiction, academic procrastination, and insomnia. In addition, demographic information such as age, gender, and year of study was also gathered.
Results:
Our study involved 231 participants and found that higher levels of procrastination, especially in males, were significantly correlated with decreased sleep quality (p<0.0001). We used the Chi-Square test and Independent Samples t-test to determine this relationship. However, we did not find a significant correlation between SNSA and the academic performance of medical students.
Conclusion:
This study underlines that medical students with high levels of social media addiction may have an increased risk for negative outcomes of academic procrastination and insomnia.

Objective:
The reluctance of medical students to seek help for stress is attributed to a lot of factors involving stigma, their help-seeking attitudes and psychological openness. The objective of this study is to gauge help seeking attitudes for stress and mental health issues among Pakistani medical students.
Design:
Two questionnaires were used to form a self-administered questionnaire, including Hopkins Symptom Checklist (SCL-5) and Inventory of Attitudes towards Seeking Mental Health Services (IASMHS).
Place & duration of study:
Students from King Edward Medical University, Lahore and Fatima Memorial Hospital were administered the questionnaire in physical form as well as an online version. Responses were gathered over a time of 3 months.
Methods:
We conducted a cross-sectional survey in two selected medical colleges in Lahore in 2022. After IRB approval and informed consent, a self-administered questionnaire which included Hopkins Symptom Checklist (SCL-5) and Inventory of Attitudes towards Seeking Mental Health Services (IASMHS) was utilized for data collection. Analysis was conducted with SPSS 26.
Results:
Six hundred and forty-one undergraduate medical students participated in the study with majority being female (64.2%) and hostellers (59%). SCL- 5 scores of the participants (mean=13.36, S. D=4.95) showed moderate levels of distress among students. Participants’ mean Attitude Score on IASMHS was 53.66 (S. D=10.72). Attitudes towards help seeking were fairly negative especially with regard to feeling indifferent towards stigma (mean=18.95, S.D=5.69).  Student’s attitudes reflected some psychological openness (mean=14.48, S.D=5.35), while propensity to seek help was slightly better (mean=20.23, S.D = 4.75). Females and clinical year students showed more positive attitudes towards help seeking as compared to males and students belonging to pre-clinical years (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
The study showed that stress among under-graduate medical students remains a significant issue. While female students and clinical years’ students portrayed better help seeking attitudes towards mental illnesses and stress, further studies including interventions to address mental illness stigma are required to improve the trend.
EFFICACY OF INTEGRATIVE SELF-REFLECTION INTERVENTIONS ON THE SELF-COMPASSION OF ADULTS WITH SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION
Authors: Afzal Tabinda , Ahmad Kiran Bashir
Published: May 2024

Objective: The purpose of the research was to explore the impact of an integrated approach to self-reflections by combining the interventions from Naikan Therapy and Expressive Arts therapy on adults with symptoms of depression. It was hypothesized that after the successful completion of ten bi-weekly psychotherapeutic sessions over a period of 7 weeks (including pre and post assessment), participants would have increased levels of self-compassion compared to the pre-test levels.
Research Design: The present research is a quasi-experimental research design. A total of eleven participants within the age range of 18-40 were included in the research using purposive sampling.
Place and Duration of the Study: 1 year, at Bahria University, Karachi Campus
Participants and Methods: Only participants who were experiencing symptoms of depression, between the age range of 18-40 and at least a 12th grade education level was included in the research. In addition to the Informed Consent Form, Demographic Information Form, Siddiqui Shah Scale of Depression (Siddiqui and Shah, 1997) and Self Compassion Scale (Neff, 2003) were used to assess the level of depressive symptoms and self-compassion of the participants before and after the intervention. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 22.0 was used for analysis and a paired sample t-test was conducted to see the differences between the pretest and posttest of the participants.
Results: Results indicated a significant increase in the levels of self-compassion from pretest (M=57, SD=6.67) to posttest (M=102, SD=10.09) conditions; t (10) = -1.45, P<0.05.
Conclusion: Integrative psychotherapies have been found to be effective in increasing awareness, improving self-awareness, improving mindfulness, and reducing self-critical thinking. Overall, these potential implications suggest that it may be an integrative form of therapy for individuals struggling with depression.
A BRIGHTER TOMORROW: PRIORITIZING CHILD AND ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH IN PAKISTAN
Authors: Abbas Kiran , Dars Jawed Akbar
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT There is a crucial need for recognising children and adolescents as an integral part of society, especially in a nation with a significant youth demographic. Pakistan's 280 million population, includes 100 million youth, and require urgent investment in mental well-being, particularly addressing psychiatric disorders like depression and anxiety, especially for women, whose welfare is often neglected.At present, Pakistan has an alarming shortage of psychiatrists, with one of the lowest numbers in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region. Despite existing policies, there is a clear lack of tailored laws addressing the specific needs of children and adolescents. The efforts made by organisations like the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan and Sindh Mental Health Authority are acknowledged, but nonetheless, there is a pressing need for a robust policy. The progress made by neighbouring countries in formulating and implementing mental health policies, particularly emphasising the importance of mental health within a holistic healthcare system, is noteworthy.An emphasis has been laid on the urgency of the situation, advocating for prompt action, comprehensive policies, and unwavering commitment. The proposed future directions include a call to actively prioritise the mental well-being of youth to shape a brighter future for Pakistan.

Nghiên cứu phân tích sự tác động của tỷ lệ sở hữu đến việc chấp nhận rủi ro (CNRR) của các ngân hàng thương mại Việt Nam (NHTM). Bài viết áp dụng phương pháp ước lượng bình phương bé nhất tổng quát khả thi (FGLS) từ dữ liệu bảng thu thập được của 32 NHTM Việt Nam giai đoạn 2012–2022, với biến phụ thuộc là Z-score đại diện cho CNRR và các biến đại diện cho tỷ lệ sở hữu của các NHTM Việt Nam là sở hữu nhà nước, sở hữu tư nhân và sở hữu nước ngoài. Kết quả cho thấy, sở hữu tư nhân ảnh hưởng tiêu cực và sở hữu nhà nước ảnh hưởng tích cực đến CNRR của các ngân hàng, cuối cùng là sở hữu nước ngoài không có tác động. Dựa vào đó, nhóm tác giả đề xuất một số khuyến nghị: (i) Tăng quy mô đi kèm với nâng cao chất lượng quản trị rủi ro; (ii) Giữ nguyên tỷ lệ sở hữu nhà nước ở mức độ nhất định; và (iii) Đồng thời nâng tỷ lệ sở hữu tư nhân trong các NHTM.
Personal Strategic Plan: An Innovative Assignment for the Undergraduate Capstone Strategy Course
Authors: Mays Kathleeen W. , Daake Don D.
Published: May 2024

In undergraduate business education, the high expectation and hope is that students will graduate prepared to meet the challenges of a complex business work world. Most business schools offer the capstone Business Strategy course, which typically includes a combination of lectures and exercises with a heavy emphasis on case studies and industry analysis, as well as one of the Strategy Game simulations. We believe the Strategy course can be improved by using the Personal Strategic Plan (PSP), an exercise requiring students to apply analytical tools to their own lives and career plans. We offer background on the Strategy course, challenges and opportunities, a description of the PSP, and student feedback.
