8 Recent archaeological work in the Cyclades (Geometric to Hellenistic)
Authors: Alexandridou Alexandra , Mazarakis Ainian Alexandros
Published: March 2023

The last decade marked a fruitful period for the archaeology of the Cyclades. The initiation and continuation of excavations, surveys, and archaeological projects on a number of the islands, initiated by the Ephorate of Antiquities of the Cyclades of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture, the foreign schools (EfA, AAIA, NIA), and Greek universities (University of Athens and of Thessaly) offered new valuable evidence for the Cycladic history from the Early Iron Age to the Hellenistic era. New data for the Early Iron Age have emerged on Andros (Zagora), Kythnos, and Despotiko. Excavations enlightened the form and components of the poleis during the Classical and Hellenistic periods (Palaiopolis, Vryokastro), revealed parts of cemeteries (Tenos, Seriphos, Paros, Naxos), and enriched our knowledge on island cultic life from the Geometric period onwards (Vryokastraki, Siphnos, Despotiko). The underwater surveys and excavations (Kythnos, Delos, Naxos) form one of the most interesting aspects of recent archaeological work in the Cyclades, elucidating the maritime landscape and the operating trading networks.
Legal Limbo and Caste Consternation: Determining Kayasthas’ Varna Rank in Indian Law Courts, 1860–1930
Authors: Bellenoit Hayden J.
Published: March 2023

This article explores how colonial law in India interacted with the construction of caste rank (varna) between 1860 and 1930. It specifically tracks contestations over Kayasthas’ legal varna rank in northern and eastern India through various inheritance disputes, threading them together to shed light on how courts sought to anchor their interpretations of Hindu law around the Indian jurisprudential conceptions of varna. It examines the successes and failures of Kayasthas to have favorable legal rulings that would uphold their status as “twice-born”/dvija, demonstrating that colonial law was limited in its ability (and often indifferent) to construct caste ranks. Inconsistent ruling in provincial courts pushed Kayasthas to seek taxonomic recognition as “twice-born” in the colonial census, demonstrating how colonial law and taxonomy intersected in novel ways. This article argues that by taking a novel approach to Indian social history through the prism of law, we can enrich our understanding of how modern notions of caste and social rank were constructed in colonial India.
EFL learners dropping out of blended language learning classes: A replication of Stracke (2007)
Authors: Stracke Elke , Nguyen Giang Hong , Nguyen Vinh
Published: March 2023

Studies with an explicit focus on dropouts in blended language learning (BLL) are rare and non-existent in the Asian context. This study replicates the early qualitative interview study by Stracke (2007), who explored why foreign language learners drop out of a BLL class. While the 2007 study was carried out in the German higher education context, we conducted this study at a university in Vietnam, where we conducted semi-structured interviews with five students who had left their blended English course after the first semester of study. Our findings indicate that the successful complementarity and integration of the blend components, the crucial role of teacher support and feedback within a learner-centred environment, interactive learning materials, a high level of interaction, and a good relationship between students and teachers are key for students’ perception of a successful blended class and retention. The lack of complementarity between the components of the blend remains a major reason for students’ dissatisfaction that resulted in them leaving the course in both the 2007 study and this study. Our study allows for a deep understanding of the reasons why Vietnamese EFL students leave a BLL course, thus providing some evidence for pedagogical adjustments for the delivery of current BLL classes in Vietnam and similar contexts. Understanding the reasons why students drop out can help improve the effectiveness of these programs and lead to higher retention rates, a reduction of costs (both financial but also emotional), an increase in student satisfaction, and a better student experience.
Understanding Archaeological Tells: Circulating Memories and Engaging with Ancestors through Material Attachments
Authors: Dueppen Stephen A. , Gallagher Daphne
Published: March 2023

Tell sites are central to archaeological interpretation in many world regions due to their lengthy sequences of stratified deposits. However, the cultural choices that create architectural remnants and associated materials are more poorly understood, as are the ways that previous layers situate the living community above. This article calls for agentive understandings of tell-formation processes through examination of archaeological sites in Burkina Faso, West Africa. We argue that tells here formed through strong cultural beliefs of co-residence between the living and ancestral communities. Drawing on data from excavation and cross-section profiles exposed by road construction, we provide evidence that architectural remnants were actively created and preserved in rituals related to the making and veneration of ancestors. Particular places in tells were used for new construction (often with foundation ritual deposits) only after the active memory of the individual faded from the living community, resulting in a slow (at least 80–100 years) stratification process. Through variations on these core ritual processes, dynamic multi-temporal social groups reinvented themselves over 1500 years through eras of inequity, egalitarian revolution and the Black Death pandemic.
A clinical study on the effect of peperidone combined with cognitive behavioral therapy on symptoms of schizophrenia
Authors: Ren Dan
Published: March 2023

Background

Schizophrenia is a common mental disease in clinic, which is a mental disorder with slow loss of function and decline. Schizophrenia is usually treated with drugs, such as risperidone. However, with the increase of schizophrenic patients and the enhancement of drug resistance, the effect of drug treatment alone has declined. Cognitive behavior therapy is a widely used psychotherapy method to treat mental disorders, which can be seen as a combination of cognitive therapy and behavior therapy. Cognitive behavior therapy can change individual behavior by adjusting individual cognition, and reconstruct individual irrational cognition through training. Therefore, the study will combine cognitive behavior therapy with risperidone to treat schizophrenia patients for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Subjects and Methods

In this experiment, 98 schizophrenics in a hospital were selected as the research object. 45 of them were treated with risperidone alone, which was regarded as group A. The other 53 patients were treated with cognitive behavioral therapy on the basis of risperidone, and were regarded as group B. The basic data of the two groups were compared, such as age, sex, etc., to ensure the feasibility of this experiment. At the same time, the cognitive functions of the two groups were compared. Before and after treatment, a cognitive ability test consensus scale was used to quantify the cognitive abilities of patients. SPSS21.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis. The results were shown in Figure 1.Figure 1.

Scores of cognitive abilities before and after treatment

Results

Cognitive dysfunction is an independent core symptom of schizophrenia. From the experimental results, the score of group B before treatment was 42±7.61, which was higher than 41.57±6.25 of group A, but lower than 50.47±7.65 of group A after treatment, which was 47.21±8.45. Among them, the scores of most indicators such as connectivity, visual learning, and social cognition in group B were higher than those in group A before treatment, but all indicators were lower than those in group A after treatment. To sum up, the method of risperidone combined with cognitive behavioral therapy selected in the study has certain effectiveness in alleviating the cognitive disorder of psychiatric patients, and can effectively alleviate the clinical symptoms of schizophrenia patients.

Conclusions

The cognitive impairment of schizophrenic patients has been paid more and more attention. In the actual work process, schizophrenics often show behaviors such as denying illness or refusing to take medicine, which will further aggravate their illness. Therefore, on the basis of the use of risperidone, combined with cognitive behavioral therapy, it can strengthen patients’ self-cognition, overcome their bad mentality, enhance patients’ attention to drug treatment, improve drug compliance, improve negative symptoms, and achieve treatment goals. It has high practicability in clinic.
Analysis of the effect of ideological education group psychotherapy combined with aromatic plant essential oil on alleviating students’ anxiety disorder
Authors: Zhou Ziwei , He Zhiyuan
Published: March 2023

Background

Student anxiety disorder is very common today. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), it includes phobia, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. The emergence of collective psychotherapy in ideological education aims to use the auxiliary role of collective combination of ideological education to appease students’ anxiety, but it has not achieved good results. Aromatic plant essential oil combines aromatherapy, which can promote people’s physical and mental health through inhalation or massage. Therefore, the research will integrate aromatic plant essential oil into ideological education group therapy for clinical treatment.

Subjects and Methods

In this experiment, a total of 50 patients were observed, half of them were male and half female. All 50 patients reached the standard of anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorder as a mental disease α Brain waves will change. When people are in anxiety, α Brain waves will decrease or even disappear, so the study used the ND-97 digital EEG to test the left and right occipital α Brain wave changes. The experiment was conducted twice, with an interval of 7 days between the two experiments. For α Brain wave changes, the results are shown in Figure 1.

Results

The brain wave intensities of different subjects were different, while the brain wave intensities of left occipital region and right occipital region were basically consistent. But before and after smelling, the changes of brain wave are also different. In the first experiment, left and right occipital regions of 50 patients α 34 cases (68%) had enhanced brain wave; α Brain wave instability occurred in 5 cases, accounting for 10%; α the brain wave was weakened in 11 cases, accounting for 22%. After the second experiment α Brain waves were enhanced in 39 cases (78%); α Brain wave instability occurred in 7 cases, accounting for 14%; α Brain wave was weakened in 4 cases, accounting for 8%. In general, α the more patients with brain wave enhancement, it shows that the ideological education collective psychotherapy combined with aromatic plant essential oil has greatly alleviated the tension and anxiety disorders of patients, and has a certain effect.

Conclusions

Anxiety disorder is quite common among today’s student groups, and the traditional collective therapy of ideological education is limited for various reasons, therefore, its role in alleviating students’ anxiety disorder is not obvious. As a natural therapy, aromatherapy with aromatic plant essential oil can play a very effective role in relieving students’ anxiety disorder, and has a high acceptance rate for students.Figure 1.

Application of art appreciation in neuropsychological intervention and cognitive improvement of autistic children
Authors: Ji Yueqi
Published: March 2023

Background

Autism is also called autism because of its lonely behavior. It is a widespread developmental symptom in children. In the industry, neuropsychological intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders has been widely concerned. Conventional neuropsychological intervention for autistic children is mostly drug therapy, which has a large side effect. As a form of art, art appreciation has been put forward on the neuropsychological cure of children. It is different from the traditional language psychotherapy, which usually takes artistic activities as a medium to help mental and psychological therapy. Therefore, the research will apply art appreciation to the treatment of autistic children’s neuropsychology, and provide basis for their clinical diagnosis and treatment by predicting their behavior.

Subjects and Methods

The study took children aged 3-6 years old before school as the subjects. Each child suffered from autism. Since there were fewer girls with autism spectrum, 30 children were screened in the study, including 21 boys and 9 girls. The study observed the behavioral development level, art appreciation level and emotional communication level of 30 children before and after auxiliary diagnosis and treatment, and compared the scores of the three factors before and after diagnosis and treatment. The experimental results are shown in Figure 1.

Results

The statistics showed the effect of art appreciation and rehabilitation therapy. The three indexes were higher than those before the experiment, and the P values were lower than 0.05. In addition, after the experiment, the behavioral development level of the children increased to 25.43 ± 5.70 points, and their emotional communication score also increased to 15.22 ± 4.06 points. To sum up, art appreciation is effective in the neuropsychological treatment of autistic children, which can effectively improve the cognition of autistic children and alleviate cognitive barriers.

Conclusions

In medical research and clinical diagnosis, the diagnosis of autistic children cannot simply use simple medical diagnosis. Its particularity indicates the need for multidisciplinary treatment. The particularity of art appreciation can not only attract children’s attention, but also alleviate their cognitive barriers. From the experimental results, the special effect of art appreciation has a certain auxiliary effect on the rehabilitation of autistic children. In the future research hypothesis, a diagnosis and evaluation system suitable for domestic autistic children can be constructed through art appreciation, so as to improve the physical and mental health of autistic children more effectively.Figure 1.

Clinical application of souvenir design based on Cao’s kite visual elements in the treatment of autistic children
Authors: Yu Zhigao
Published: March 2023

Background

Autism occurs in infancy. Its clinical symptoms are mainly social disorder, communication disorder, interest limitation, etc., and are accompanied by different degrees of intellectual development disorders. Cao’s kite was carved by descendants of the Kong Xiangze family according to the kite binding method recorded in Cao Xueqin’s works. The kite contains the pursuit and yearning for a better life inside, and its external patterns and composition features are quite attractive. Therefore, the research applies the souvenir design of Cao’s kite visual elements to the treatment of autistic children for clinical auxiliary diagnosis and treatment.

Subjects and Methods

The more obvious externalization of autistic children is their picky eating behavior. Therefore, 30 autistic children were taken as the research object, of which 18 children were still treated in the traditional way as the control group, and the other 12 children were treated as the experimental group using the souvenir design of Cao’s kite visual elements as an auxiliary way of diagnosis and treatment. The mental health status was analyzed by observing the behavioral changes in their diet. A total of three experimental interventions were carried out to calculate the average number of nausea and retching during the three intervention periods, and SPSS20.0 statistical software was used to conduct statistics and analysis of relevant data. The results are shown in Table 1.Table 1.

Results

The picky eating behavior of autistic children is manifested by their tolerance to food, which will lead to the physiological manifestations of nausea and retching. In the experimental results, the number of times of retching of children in the experimental group decreased except the number of eggs, among which the number of leeks, melons, dried beans, soybean milk and steamed bread decreased to zero; The control group showed an upward trend. The results show that the assistant diagnosis and treatment method designed by the souvenir of Cao’s kite visual elements is effective in treating children with autism.

Conclusions

In addition to the problems of autistic temperament, the diet and health of autistic children are also the focus of clinical attention. The effect of traditional diagnosis and treatment is limited, and the effect is not obvious. The souvenir design of Cao’s kite visual elements, as an auxiliary diagnosis and treatment method with visual impact, has strong appeal among children’s patients, and can effectively alleviate the symptoms of children’s autism.
Research on the effect of predictive nursing combined with psychological education on students with mania
Authors: Zhang Qifei , Yasen Aikebaier
Published: March 2023

Background

Mania is a common psychological disease, which is often treated with drugs in clinical practice, but the effect of conventional nursing intervention is not significant. Therefore, this study tries to intervene manic students through predictive nursing and psychological education.

Subjects and Methods

From March 2020 to March 2021, 116 manic students who entered our hospital for treatment were selected as research subjects. They were randomly divided into a routine intervention group and a joint intervention group, each containing 58 manic students. The routine intervention group was given routine nursing care in the psychiatric department of our hospital. The joint intervention group was intervened through predictive nursing and psychological education. The intervention effect was evaluated by the Bech Rafaelsdn Mania Rating Scale (BRMS) and the Global Assessment Scale (GAS).

Results

Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in BRMS and GAS scores between the two groups (P > 0.01). After the intervention, the BRMS score of the joint intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the GAS score was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). Table 1 shows the comparison of BRMS and GAS scores between the two groups of manic students before and after the intervention.Table 1.

Authors: Ying Daxiong , Xiang Hulin , Cheng Jiaqiu
Published: March 2023

Background

Anxiety disorder is a common mental disease, which is characterized by tremors, palpitation, sweating, and other symptoms, and has become one of the main psychological problems of college students. The psychological atmosphere is a relatively stable emotional state, which can promote emotional communication and trigger psychological resonance. Through the creation of a good psychological atmosphere in physical education classroom teaching, this paper explores its intervention effect on anxiety patients.

Subjects and Methods

In a domestic university, 900 college students of different grades were selected by random sampling, and the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) was filled in anonymously. After statistical results, 126 patients with anxiety disorder were selected. Then they were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, 68 in each group. The students in the observation group studied in the PE class with a positive psychological atmosphere, while the students in the control group studied in the regular PE class. After one semester of study, the anxiety level was assessed again by the SAS scale.

Results

Table 1 shows the statistical results of SAS scores of the two groups before and after physical education classroom teaching. It can be found that after the experiment, the anxiety score of the students in the observation group decreased significantly and was lower than that of the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).Table 1.

Analysis of the therapeutic effect of Morita therapy on anxiety disorder of art creators
Authors: Dai Jing , Xu Ming
Published: March 2023

Background

When artistic creators create art, they will suffer from mental anxiety due to the lack of spiritual level. Morita therapy often alleviates the clinical symptoms of anxiety disorder in patients by improving their “neuroticism” personality and urges them to recover their mental health. Therefore, Morita therapy was selected to intervene and treat the anxiety disorder of art creators, so as to improve their social adaptability and mental health.

Subjects and Methods

The study took 78 art creators with anxiety disorders in a hospital since 2000 as subjects. Their anxiety disorders were divided into mental anxiety disorder (A) and somatic anxiety disorder (B). The total course of Morita therapy was 8 weeks, which was randomly divided into two groups, group C and group D. Group C was not intervened, while group D intervened with Morita therapy. Hamilton Anxiety (HAMA) was selected as the research evaluation scale. The experimental results are shown in Table 1.Table 1.

A study on the manifestation and treatment of hysteria among the unemployed due to economic recession under the impact of the COVID-19
Authors: Li Xiuxia
Published: March 2023

Background

The constant mutation of the coronavirus during the COVID-19 caused enough anxiety and panic, as well as a decline in an otherwise healthy economy. As the economy continued to decline, more and more people had to face the risks and anxiety associated with unemployment. Dysthymia, also known as dissociative disorder, is a complex group of psycho-physical disorders in which, during the course of the illness, the patient manifests involuntary and intermittent loss of the ability to integrate some or all of the psycho-physical functions and is unable to achieve unity in the areas of perception, memory, emotion, behavior and self-awareness.

Subjects and Methods

A series of research studies were conducted to investigate the manifestation and treatment of hysteria among the unemployed as a result of the economic recession in the wake of the COVID-19. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy was used to treat the hysterical condition of the unemployed. A self-administered questionnaire was used to investigate the mental health of the unemployed in a region before and after the epidemic. 56 valid questionnaires were returned, excluding those that were not standardized. The 56 individuals were randomly divided into two equal groups and the subjects in the experimental group were treated with rational emotive behavior therapy, while the subjects in the control group were treated with general psychotherapy. A self-administered psychological assessment scale was used to score the mental health of the subjects before and after the treatment. The scale included indicators of perception, memory, emotion, behavior and self-awareness.

Results

The degree of self-awareness retained by the two groups of subjects under the self-awareness index was selected for analysis before and after the experiment. The results in Table 1 show that the number of subjects in the experimental group with high, low and no self-awareness were 0, 9 and 19 respectively before the rational emotive behavior treatment; after the treatment, their numbers changed to 5, 21 and 2. On the contrary, the number of subjects in the control group before the general psychotherapy was 0, 7 and 21; after the treatment, their numbers changed to 1, 15 and 12.Table 1.

Published: March 2023

Background

The psychological problems of college students are the focus of social concern and hot discussions. Influenced by the epidemic, college students’ study, life and employment have been affected to a certain extent. Schools should strengthen mental health education to improve college students’ ability to resist pressure and help students improve their ability to adapt to society. Positive psychology can help students improve their mental health by guiding their mental activities and tapping their own strengths. In the process of using positive psychological knowledge to intervene with college students, self-help incentive training and personality cultivation can help students understand their own mental health problems. Therefore, in the psychological health education of colleges and universities, we can consider taking these two methods to carry out psychological intervention on college students, so as to improve the students’ ability to withstand pressure.

Subjects and Methods

In the experiment, 360 college students who meet the requirements were randomly selected in colleges and universities through a questionnaire survey as the research objects of mental health problems. There are 187 boys and 173 girls, with an average age of (20 ± 2) years. The 360 college students were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group, 180 in each. The intervention group used positive psychological thinking for psychological intervention, while the control group did not take any psychological intervention measures. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was selected as the test scale of college students’ compressive capacity, and SPSS23.0 was used to analyze the score results.

Results

The score of the PSS scale is shown in Table 1. It can be seen from the table that after the intervention group received the psychological intervention, their problem-solving and rationalization abilities were significantly improved (P < 0.05), and their withdrawal emotions were significantly reduced (P < 0.05).Table 1.

Background

In view of the problem that the psychological barriers of ski jumpers before competitions affect the athletes’ performance on the competition ground, this paper discusses the therapeutic effect of psychological training on the athletes’ psychological barriers before competitions, so as to find a reasonable and effective intervention method to help athletes avoid psychological barriers.

Subjects and Methods

40 ski jumpers were selected as the research objects. With the help of computer, they were randomly divided into two groups. One group was the psychological training group, and 60 times of psychological training were carried out in the 6-month experiment. The other group was General group without any intervention. At the beginning and end of the experiment, the Trait Anxiety Inventory for Sport (TAIS) was used to compare the pre competition psychological disorders of the two groups of athletes.

Results

The score of the TAIS scale of the two groups after intervention was recorded and compared, as shown in Table 1. As can be seen in Table 1, the average and total TAIS scores of members of the General group are relatively high. Taking dimensional movement tension tendency as an example, the average score of the General group was 12.5. The average score and total score of TAIS in the psychological training group were significantly lower than those in the General group. Taking dimensional movement tension tendency as an example, the average score of the psychological training group was 10.2.Table 1.

Authors: Xiao Jiali , Li Yifeng , Li Lihua , Tian Yan
Published: March 2023

Background

In recent years, with the acceleration of population aging in China, the number of elderly people with depression is increasing. Artificial intelligence models and data analysis have sound applications in the early warning and treatment of the elderly with depression in the community by finding the elderly with depression timely and carrying out early warning treatment for them.

Subjects and Methods

50 elderly people with depression, from two communities of equal size, were randomly selected to participate in the experiment. Among them, one community adopts routine management and treatment, and the other community conducts early-warning treatment based on an artificial intelligence model and data analysis. The former and the latter were used as the observation group and the intelligent group respectively. All the elderly were evaluated according to the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) before and 6 months after the experiment.

Results

The GDS scores of the elderly in the observation group and the intelligent group before and after the experiment are shown in Table 1. The GDS scores of the observation group and the intelligent group are close before and after the experiment from Table 1. Six months after the experiment, the GDS scores of the intelligent group are significantly lower than that of the observation group. In this experiment, P < 0.0 indicates that the difference is statistically significant.Table 1.

Conclusions

According to statistics, the incidence rate of depression in the elderly can reach 10%, so it is necessary to strengthen the early warning and treatment of depression symptoms in the elderly. The artificial intelligence model and data analysis can help find the depressive symptoms of the elderly in the community as early as possible, and help take measures to carry out early warning treatment, thereby improving the depressive situation.

Analysis of the influence of positive psychotherapy on the improvement of re drinking among alcohol dependent people from the perspective of ideology and politics
Authors: Wang Yan
Published: March 2023

Background

Alcohol dependence is a chronic and recurrent brain disease of central nervous system poisoning caused by long-term excessive drinking. The prevalence of alcohol-dependence patients in China shows a rising trend year by year. Alcohol dependence will not only cause serious harm to patients’ physical health and mental state, but also affect their family relations and even entire social security. The study evaluated the improvement of psychological intervention measures on alcohol-dependent people’s rehydration in the context of the Great Thought Policy to help them better reduce alcohol dependence.

Subjects and Methods

The study selected 200 patients with alcohol dependence admitted to a provincial hospital. The patients were divided into an experimental group and a control group by the random number table method. Both groups were treated with the same drug intervention. Among them, the patients in the experimental group were treated under active psychotherapy, that is, the responsible nurse combined psychological knowledge with ideological guidance to guide the patients to quit drinking. The control group was given routine psychological intervention. The patients were investigated with Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and telephone follow-up. The data were processed with SPSS 17.0 statistical software, and P < 0.05 indicated that the difference was statistically significant.

Results

Results showed that the rehydration rate and rehospitalization rate of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group, and the mental health status of the patients in the experimental group was significantly improved compared with the control group (P < 0.05), indicating that the psychological measures under the ideological and political intervention can effectively control the patients’ emotions.Table 1.
