The presence and nature of ellipticity in Appalachian hardwood logs
Authors: Thomas R. Edward , Stanovick John S. , Conner Deborah
Published: March 2023

The ellipticity of hardwood logs is most often observed and measured from either end of a log. However, due to the nature of hardwood tree growth and bucking practices, the assessment of ellipticity in this manner may not be accurate. Trees grown on hillsides often develop supporting wood that gives the first few feet of the log butt a significant degree of ellipticity, while the rest of the log may be more circular. Good log bucking methods dictate that a log be bucked near a fork or a large knot, creating a higher-valued lower log and a jump cut or a lower-valued upper log. This practice and the additional supporting (buttress) wood below the knot can make the upper end of a log exhibit ellipticity. In this study, 703 hardwood logs from Appalachian forests were scanned using a high-resolution laser scanner, and the ellipticity and the angle of the greater axis was recorded for every foot along each log. Approximately one-third of the logs exhibited moderate to severe eccentricity on the small end. However, most logs (99%) did not exhibit significant ellipticity along the entire length. Furthermore, the mean length of the elliptical zone for all species was 3.3 feet.
Efficiency of blended polyhydric alcohols solution on liquefaction of oil palm trunk (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)
Authors: Choowang Rattana , Lin Jian , Zhao Guangjie
Published: March 2023

The oil palm tree is a monocotyledon, and the chemical composition varies relative to the part of its trunk. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the chemical composition in different parts of an oil palm trunk and the rate of liquefaction. PEG#400/glycerol (4:1, w/w) was the liquefying reagent with 2% sulfuric acid as a catalyst. Liquefaction was done at the optimum conditions of liquor ratio, temperature (130 to 180 °C), and reaction time (30 to 120 min). The results revealed that the rate of liquefying was dependent on the part of the trunk. The inner zone in the top parts of the trunk had the least amount of lignin and lowest crystallinity. Thus, these parts could be liquefied faster than the other parts of the trunk. According to FTIR, XRD, and 13C NMR analyses, the amorphous polymer content (comprised of lignin, hemicellulose, and disordered zones of cellulose and starch) mostly degraded at the low temperature of 140 °C for 30 min, while the crystalline regions required higher temperature (180 °C). Increasing the temperature had stronger effects than extending reaction time or the liquor ratio. Furthermore, excess in these reaction parameters caused re-condensation of the degraded liquefied products.

Wood is a versatile and renewable material. It features characteristic mechanical resistance, thermal and electrical insulation, easy workability, and low energy consumption during processing. These properties make it attractive compared with other materials, mainly in the manufacturing and civil construction industries. One of the most important processes in the logging industry is sanding, though it is treated empirically by companies without a systematic study of the influence of its parameters, and it incurs high costs in this sector. Therefore, this work analyzed the effects of the sandpaper parameters (grit size and type of abrasive), wood parameters (species and fiber direction), and contribution percentage thereof on the behavior of the surface roughness and removal rate of the material. The Taguchi method was applied, and tests were performed on a flat sander with a pneumatic circuit and monitoring system for data acquisition. The tests were analyzed statistically by analysis of variance. The results showed that the surface roughness and removal rate were significantly influenced by the sandpaper parameters, but not by the wood parameters. Also, the aluminum oxide sandpaper presented greater durability and resulted in lower roughness values.

Authors: Cosereanu Camelia , Cerbu Camelia
Published: March 2023

The morphology, physical, and mechanical properties were investigated for single-layer particleboard made with various proportional contents of wood and rape stalk particles glued with urea-formaldehyde resin. Fine crushed rape stalk particles were used for the experimental particleboards. The weight ratios of rape-to-wood particles were 0:100, 10:90, 30:70, 50:50, and 70:30. Mixed beech and spruce wood particles with percentages of 30% for beech wood and 70% for spruce wood were considered for the configuration. Urea-formaldehyde resin with a solid content of 66 ± 1% was added to the single-mat configuration at a level of 12%, based on the weight of the particles. Physical (density, water absorption, and thickness swelling) and mechanical (modulus of elasticity, bending strength, internal bond strength) investigations on the particleboards obtained in the laboratory conditions were conducted. The results were compared to the requirements of the EN 312 (2004) standard. In addition, morphological observation at macro- and micro-scale and vertical density profile analysis was conducted on particleboards in order to characterize the interaction between wood-rape particles and resin. Variations of the structure and density were observed relative to thickness, providing information concerning to the internal bond performance of the panels.
What is the trend after Covid-19? A Political-Economic Analysis of the Pension Systems in Hong Kong and MACAU
Authors: Guo Shanwen , You Liliang , Wang Qibin
Published: March 2023

The aging trend of the population in Hong Kong and Macau is evident, so the pension system is especially significant. This research paper uses document analysis and a double-case study as the research method. It uses path dependence and critical moments in historical institutionalism theory as the theoretical tools for political economy analysis. The discussion argues that “the social culture shaped by local politics,” “the combination of local economic development and economic structure,” and “influence from social structure” are the three main factors that influence the pension systems in Hong Kong and Macau, and are the fundamental reasons for the differences between the pension systems in Hong Kong and Macau. We also conclude that the outbreak of COVID-19 is causing the evolution of the pension systems in both regions to be converging.JEL Classification: H7, N9, O2, R5How to Cite:Guo, S., You, L., & Wang, Q.

Arte Popular, Arte Ingenuo y Arte Figurativo en la obra pictórica de Bárbaro Rivas
Authors:   Escuela Superior de Ciencias Aplicadas de Gdynia (PWSNS), Dimeo Carlos
Published: March 2023

Bárbaro Rivas (1893–1967) is considered to be the first ‘primitivist’ and ‘figurativist’ in Venezuela. Local and ludic elements create the central axis of popular and figurative Venezuelan art transformation from the late 19th to the mid-20th century. It was when a sign in painting was redefined – resignified and became an element binding main forms of popular art, reality of artist’s world, simplicity of life transformed into an idea of primitivism. Like other artists of his times (Armando Reverón), Bárbaro Rivas derived his art from life of local society and his own experience. His art is marked with autobiographical elements, which constitute a borderline between common sense and madness. Presented world is permeated with religiousness, magic and superstitions. In visualization, it is important to present reality from a double perspective; his artworks contain twoand three-dimensional grounds embraced in a single depiction. Plastic poetics of Bárbaro Rivas contains contradictory elements, inconsistent prima facie, yet containing in their nature rudimentary elements rooted in popular imagination, religious beliefs, etc. The world, being a mixture of elements, becomes a peculiar metisage expressed through the simplicity of primitivism, in the context of searching and describing new worlds and experience. This article aims not only at explaining how Venezuelan artist imagines and plans his art, but also at describing his approach to popular and local elements in Venezuela, which then spread across the whole Latin America as a form of artistic expression.
Deciding FO-rewritability of Regular Languages and Ontology-Mediated Queries in Linear Temporal Logic
Authors: Kurucz Agi , Ryzhikov Vladislav , Savateev Yury , Zakharyaschev Michael
Published: March 2023

Our concern is the problem of determining the data complexity of answering an ontology-mediated query (OMQ) formulated in linear temporal logic LTL over (Z,<) and deciding whether it is rewritable to an FO(<)-query, possibly with some extra predicates. First, we observe that, in line with the circuit complexity and FO-definability of regular languages, OMQ answering in AC0, ACC0 and NC1 coincides with FO(<,≡)-rewritability using unary predicates x ≡ 0 (mod n), FO(<,MOD)-rewritability, and FO(RPR)-rewritability using relational primitive recursion, respectively. We prove that, similarly to known PSᴘᴀᴄᴇ-completeness of recognising FO(<)-definability of regular languages, deciding FO(<,≡)- and FO(<,MOD)-definability is also PSᴘᴀᴄᴇ-complete (unless ACC0 = NC1). We then use this result to show that deciding FO(<)-, FO(<,≡)- and FO(<,MOD)-rewritability of LTL OMQs is ExᴘSᴘᴀᴄᴇ-complete, and that these problems become PSᴘᴀᴄᴇ-complete for OMQs with a linear Horn ontology and an atomic query, and also a positive query in the cases of FO(<)- and FO(<,≡)-rewritability. Further, we consider FO(<)-rewritability of OMQs with a binary-clause ontology and identify OMQ classes, for which deciding it is PSᴘᴀᴄᴇ-, Π2p- and coNP-complete.

Authors: ЕВСИКОВ Кирилл Сергеевич
Published: March 2023

Целью исследования является анализ методов правового регулированию метавселенных. Задачи исследования: выявить правовую природу метавселенной; проанализировать ее архитектурные особенности, способные оказать влияние на правовое регулирование; обобщить зарубежный опыт в данной сфере; изучить отечественное право и судебную практику; выявить возможности создания информационно-правового института метавселенной. В ходе исследования использовались следующие методы: дедукция, индукция, систематизация, юридическое прогнозирование, правовая компаративистика, моделирование.

 В ходе исследования автор пришел к следующим результатам. Технология метавселенной пока не получила широкого распространения в Российской Федерации. Однако уже сегодня необходимо искать правовые инструменты защиты граждан от сбора персональных данных владельцами таких информационных систем, а также от противоправного манипулирования ими со стороны владельцев и пользователей метавселенной, включая регламентацию технологий социального инжиниринга. Зарубежный опыт показывает, что метавселенная может стать перспективной сквозной цифровой технологией, для этого органам публичной власти необходимо, избегая «цифрового луддизма», создать нормы права, стимулирующие правомерное поведение владельцев и пользователей данной информационной системы.

Анализ метавселенной позволил утверждать, что пока она является эволюционирующей социальной сетью, и это позволяет распространить на ее владельцев и пользователей нормы права, регулирующие схожие общественные отношения. Анализ судебной практики, проведенный автором, выявил множественные правовые пробелы и юридические коллизии в праве социальных сетей, что пока не позволяет реализовать данное предложение в полной мере. В статье даны конкретные предложения по устранению основных недостатков в существующей правовой системе, а также предложена легальная дефиниция метавселенной. Реализация данных предложений будет способствовать регулированию данной цифровой технологии в нашей стране и становлению нового информационно-правового института — права метавселенной.
Impacts of radical prostatectomy with emphasis on physical and psycho-socio-emotional declines: An integrative review
Authors: Weslley Barbosa Sales
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Prostatectomy oncological surgery is necessary for the continuity of life, but it has physical consequences (momentary inability to drive, erectile dysfunction), emotional (anxiety about the diagnosis and the consequences of treatment, depression) and psychosocial (feeling of impotence, failure, loss of status in society), which may or may not be transitory. Objective: to identify, through an integrative literature review, the biopsychosocial impacts of Radical Prostatectomy. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review, which included articles related to the proposed theme, published between the years 2012 to 2022, available in full, without language restriction; in addition to theses, dissertations and monographs. For this, the PRISMA guidelines were used, as well as the PICO strategy for the best delineation of the research question and research theme. Results and discussions: In view of the discussion, the study can respond to the objections raised by this research, and can show that the culture of masculinity, with regard to virility, strength, and better performance, composes risk factors for possible impacts on Quality of Life of men undergoing radical prostatectomy. These factors are intrinsically associated with the majority of relationships and characteristics represented by a man. Final considerations: Psychoeducation and general guidelines on sexual and mental health should be carried out to patients who undergo radical therapies, such as radical prostatectomy, so that these patients can achieve coping strategies that make them feel better, contributing directly to the best quality of life, functional capacity, and their social relationships.

Exploring augmentation of meaning through intersemiotic complementarity in children comic book series
Authors: Haris Nur Annisa , Febrianti Yusnita , Yannuar Nurenzia
Published: March 2023

Comic books are taking a new turn as a medium of learning. The combination of modes of visual and verbal in comics is a rich source of meanings. They are arguably one of the contributors to why comic books are considered as a form of reading materials for the purpose of language learning. With this regard, the present study is looking into a comic book series targeted for young readers, entitled ‘Little Dim Sum Warriors’. The overall aim of the study is to comprehend how the readers are likely to learn language with the comic. More specifically, the study addresses the details of the verbal-visual relation in LDSW and the prediction on how readers might be able to perceive the meaning-making process in LDSW. In doing so, the study analyzes the first two installments of the series in terms of the relationships between the verbal texts and visual images in terms of the ideational meanings. Data analysis is facilitated primarily using Royce’s (1998) framework of ideational Intersemiotic Complementarity to map out and categorize any instances of visual-verbal relation in the data in terms of the instances of repetition, synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, meronymy, and collocation. Through the analysis, the study found that the verbal-visual relations mostly fall into the categories of repetition and collocation, which further indicate that the repeated meaning in both verbal and visual aspects are found effective in learning language. Other relations, however, such as those that appeared as anonymy or synonymy, might require the attendance of teachers or parents to create a discussion with the young readers regarding the meaning-making process. The results of the study also implied some hints on how reading activities between parents and children may be conducted.
The off-Record Politeness Strategy and Cultural Values of the Belis Negotiation Speech Event: A Sociopragmatic Study
Authors: Daar Gabriel Fredi , Beratha Ni Luh Sutjiati , Suastra I Made , Sukarini Ni Wayan
Published: March 2023

This study aims to find out the language politeness strategies applied by the tongka (spokesperson) and other parties involved in the belis negotiation speech event in the Manggarai community, the Pasat-Ruis dialect, Indonesia. This study used a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with five key informants with experience as spokespersons (tongka) and adequate knowledge of the Manggarai language and culture. Data were analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles and Haberman (1992). The study found that the off-record politeness strategy was applied in two patterns; (1) The use of metaphorical phrases to refine the speech. Knowledge and the ability to interpret the meaning of speech through metaphorical phrases is an important aspect that must be possessed by a tongka (spokesperson) by connecting the phrase with the context of its use so that it can be understood and fulfills the elements of Politeness. (2) The use of sopi while conveying speech. The patterns show Politeness and the distinctive and authentic characteristics of Manggarai culture. Meanwhile, the cultural values of the utterances of belis negotiations include kinship, brotherhood, responsibility, appreciation, and respect. Thus, the findings indicate that the spokespersons selected in the belis negotiation process need to consider the knowledge of Manggarai culture and the ability to use metaphorical phrases in cultural speech so that the belisnegotiation process runs smoothly according to the expectations of the two extended families.
On rhetorical appeals: Emotionalization and politicization of Russia’s Covid-19 vaccine ‘Sputnik V’ in the American and Russian news discourse
Authors: Teneva Ekaterina Veselinovna , Bykov Ilya
Published: March 2023

The relations between language and politics in Covid-19 coverage have become significant issues following the rise of Chinese Covid-19 cases in 2022. The study aims to investigate specific rhetorical appeals and language means that were used by journalists to manipulate public opinion and propagate certain ideology in the American and Russian online news discourse. The study employed a mixture of quantitative and qualitative research techniques. It used computer-assisted content analysis, rhetorical analysis, and van Dijk’s sociocognitive approach to CDA to identify and describe biased representations of Russia’s Covid-19 vaccine ‘Sputnik V’ in 307 Internet news text. The content analysis revealed frequent mentions of politicians and political institutions in the American and Russian coverage of ‘Sputnik V’. The rhetorical and discourse analyses expose similarities in the use of rhetorical appeals and language means. The study concludes that the coverage of ‘Sputnik V’ was highly emotionalized and politicized both in American and Russian media. The journalists utilized the ideologically loaded language and rhetorical appeals to disguise their biased opinions and create a distorted image of ‘Sputnik V’ in the online news coverage. The study also provides implications for the development of ESL and EFL courses to enhance students’ reading comprehension skills.
PRELIMINARY PETROMAGNETIC STUDY OF 1849, 1926, 1963, 1968 AND 1974 SURFACE LAVAS FROM BATUR VOLCANO, BALI, INDONESIA: INSIGHT ON THE MAGMATIC PROCESS OF SOURCE AND ROCK MAGNETIC NATURE

Published: March 2023

Geochemical and petrographic characterizations were carried out on five episodic effusive eruptions from Batur Volcano on the Island of Bali, Indonesia, and revealed that these lavas are basaltic to andesitic in composition. Various micro-textures were identified, reflecting pre-eruptive magmatic processes, magma mixing, and adiabatic decompression. Apart from XRF analyses, the five lava flows (L849, L926, L963, L968 and L974) were subjected to magnetic analyses in the form of magnetic susceptibility and magnetic hysteresis measurements. The presence of cyclicity in the magmatic process is suggested by the variation of micro-texture types, CaO content, and magnetic susceptibility values. Two possible models of this cyclicity are presented. In the first model, cyclicity is driven by the variation of influx from the lower magma chamber that affects the interaction of magma with the surrounding rocks. In the second model, cyclicity is affected by the appearance of a new magmatic vent, which causes intense interaction with surrounding rocks. This study infers that combined micro-texture, composition, and magnetic susceptibility analyses might provide insight into the cyclicity of lava episodes observed in active volcanos such as Batur.
3D printing of biomaterials for vascularized and innervated tissue regeneration
Authors: Zhang Hongjian , Wu Chengtie
Published: March 2023

Neurovascular networks play significant roles in the metabolism and regeneration of many tissues and organs in the human body. Blood vessels can transport sufficient oxygen, nutrients, and biological factors, while nerve fibers transmit excitation signals to targeted cells. However, traditional scaffolds cannot satisfy the requirement of stimulating angiogenesis and innervation in a timely manner due to the complexity of host neurovascular networks. Three-dimensional (3D) printing, as a versatile and favorable technique, provides an effective approach to fabricating biological scaffolds with biomimetic architectures and multimaterial compositions, which are capable of regulating multiple cell behaviors. This review paper presents a summary of the current progress in 3D-printed biomaterials for vascularized and innervated tissue regeneration by presenting skin, bone, and skeletal muscle tissues as an example. In addition, we highlight the crucial roles of blood vessels and nerve fibers in the process of tissue regeneration and discuss the future perspectives for engineering novel biomaterials. It is expected that 3D-printed biomaterials with angiogenesis and innervation properties can not only recapitulate the physiological microenvironment of damaged tissues but also rapidly integrate with host neurovascular networks, resulting in accelerated functional tissue regeneration.

Authors: Rojas Molina Leidy Katerine , Franco Gómez Yuly Andrea
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this research is to analyze possible effects associated with the initial application of International Financial Reporting Standards (ifrs) to the financial statements of 68 companies listed on the Colombian Stock Exchange. This study uses a content analysis technique and the Gray index of conservatism to measure the changes produced by the standard for the years 2019 and 2018. The outcomes show that there is a financial effect for 16.18% of the adopting entities and an impact on indicators such as ROE, debt, and leverage, the latter having an average negative impact. In terms of disclosures, lessees provide more information (with 65% compliance) than lessors (with 55%). Even so, the total of the requirements established in ifrs 16 are not achieved, evidencing how the disclosure objectives of the standard are not fully met for the entities listed in the BVC. Nevertheless, not all the criteria established in ifrs 16 are satisfied. This article contributes to the analysis of the microeconomic effects of the ifrs (specifically ifrs 16), on adopting companies, for which few studies have been conducted in Latin America.

Published: March 2023

Background: Nitrogenous fertilizers being very expensive, farmers can’t come up with the money for them in big and it cannot observe in wasteful way. At the identical time, crop should not suffer from the deficiency of nitrogen. Proper time of N utility is important to limit N loss and increases restoration; it’s far commonly determined that farmer tend to apply more nitrogen fertilizer than needed mainly because of its immediately seen effect on plant boom and leaf color. Methods: Field experiment was conducted to study the effect of methods of sowing and nutrient management on productivity of maize during season of 2018 and 2019 on sandy loam soil at Amritsar. The soil was neutral (pH- 7.6) and it was low in Nitrogen (154 kg N/ha) and medium in phosphorus (24 kg P2O5/ha) and high in potassium (328 kg K2O/ha). The experiment consisted three methods of sowing i.e. Zero, Flat and Ridge sowing of maize and five levels of fertilizer i.e., No = control, Nrec = recommendation (125:60:30), NLCC4 (90:60:30), NLCC5 (120:60:30) and NLCC6 (150:60:30) with split N application on basis of LCC, thus making fifteen treatment combinations, which were replicated thrice and was laid out in Split pot design (SPD). Result: Higher grain yield (39.43 q ha-1) was obtained from ridge planting followed by (36.27 q ha-1) in planting method Zero tillage.The result indicated that different schedules of fertilizer expressed significant effect on maize grain yield and quality. It was found that the application of split N on the basis of LCC gave highest yield. The application of nutrient nitrogen used more efficiently by the NLCC4 in maize it may be due to less losses of nitrogen by application through leaf color chart shade 4. The gross return, net return and Benefit: cost ratio indicated that the application of nutrients on basis of LCC5 proved economically more remunerative.

Una educación como práctica de afectos: ¿Qué puede un(a) profesor(a) de matemáticas?
Authors: Amaris-Ruidiaz Paola
Published: March 2023

La propuesta busca reflexionar sobre la potencia de los afectos en y para la educación, y la educación matemática. Por eso este texto está creado como un campo de cuestionamiento desde la perspectiva filosófica. Así, se convoca a pensadores aliados: Baruch Spinoza, Friedrich Nietzsche y Gilles Deleuze, para crear una relación diferencial al cuestionar la pregunta ética de Spinoza: ¿Qué puede un cuerpo?  En ese sentido: ¿Qué puede un(a) profesor(a) de matemática en la sala de clases y en la Escuela? Para ello se caminará por lo siguiente: primeramente, comprender la educación y la educación matemática como prácticas de afectos, segundo, mostrar un mapeamiento cartográfico de una Escuela en Brasil −posibilidad metodológica planteada por Gilles Deleuze y Felix Guattari−, que visibilice las producciones de subjetividad, poder y resistencia por medio de narrativas de un grupo de profesores de matemáticas─, resultado de una investigación doctoral. Como tercer y último momento, reflexionar sobre la propia práctica docente: ¿Qué tanto los educadores somos capaces de producir afectos mediados por el mundo que potencialicen una vida que desee ser vivida? Para así pensar otras posibilidades que puedan potenciar su formación.

Program pengabdian masyarakat di Desa Anjir Pasar Kota II, Kabupaten Barito Kuala, Kalimantan Selatan bertujuan untuk memberi penguatan peran aparatur desa dan meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat desa terhadap pentingnya pelayanan minimum di desa. Aspek penguatan yang ditekankan dalam pengabdian masyarakat ini terutama dalam aspek pemahaman perundang-undangan terkait pelayanan umum dan keterkaitannya dengan pemenuhan hak-hak publik konstitusional warga desa. Desa Anjir Pasar Kota II telah memiliki dokumen Standar Pelayanan Minimum (SPM), namun keberadaan dokumen tersebut tidak serta merta menjamin pemahaman dan implementasi efektif dari dokumen SPM tersebut. Tim Pengabdian Masyarakat melakukan sosialisasi lewat Temu Wicara dan beberapa kali dalam pertemuan informal dengan aparatur desa dan warga desa, sekaligus melakukan evaluasi terhadap aspek substantif-normatif dalam dokumen SPM dan implementasinya di lapangan. Tim Pengabdian Masyarakat menemukan beberapa temuan-temuan (findings) yang dapat menjadi bahan evaluasi dan perbaikan kinerja aparatur desa dalam konteks pelayanan minimum, semisal: kurangnya koordinasi dan pengetahuan aparatur desa terkait mekanisme menerbitan Surat Keterangan Izin Bepergian (SKIB) terutama dalam kondisi kedaruratan wabah Covid-19 di tahun 2020 – 2021 silam, dan yang tidak kalah krusial adalah terkait aspek pengurusan Surat Tanah Sporadik yang juga berkorelasi dengan pelayanan Surat Keterangan Taksiran Harga Tanah (SKTHT). Kedua pelayanan diatas memerlukan kejelian sekaligus pengetahuan yang mencukupi terkait aspek-aspek teknis pertanahan, dimana aparatur desa perlu berkoordinasi dengan badan/institusi terkait. Namun, terlepas dari beberapa kendala dan keterbatasan diatas, pelayanan minimum yang dilakukan aparatur desa sudah cukup memuaskan, hal tersebut terkonfirmasi lewat pernyataan warga desa setempat.

Solidarność i zaufanie w parze
Authors: Kaufmann Jean-Claude
Published: March 2023

Jaka jest natura związku pary? Często mówimy o „miłości”, ale definicja ta pozostaje bardzo niejasna, jeśli weźmiemy pod uwagę, że istnieje wiele różnych form miłości i że uczucie to jest obecne w bardzo różnym stopniu w życiu małżeńskim. Dokładniejsza analiza uczuć i zasad, które składają się na współczesną więź małżeńską, pozwala lepiej zrozumieć, jak się ona obecnie rozwija.

W artykule przeanalizowano różne pojęcia: solidarność, szacunek, zaufanie i wzajemne wsparcie. Dyskusji poddane jest też obustronne uznanie. Zauważono, że musi ono być narzucone innym kręgom społecznym, które mogą stać się wobec siebie konkurencyjnymi, także najbliższym, takim jak rodzice czy przyjaciele. Prowadzi to do powstania nowej roli w związku, rodzaju terapeuty duszy, którego zadaniem jest przywrócenie partnerowi/partnerce poczucia własnej wartości, zagrożonego przez sposób funkcjonowania społeczeństwa.
