Relationship between experienced compassion outcomes, burnout and health-related behaviour among psychologists
Authors: Aukštinaitytė R. , Zajančkauskaitė-Staskevičienė L.
Published: January 2019

The profession of psychologist is based on compassion which may have positive and negative outcomes for a professional. The energy of compassion can be transformed either into fatigue or into satisfaction, depending on the psychologist’s skills to increase affect, resources, and self-care as well as to maintain a balance between personal and professional life. Compassion satisfaction is about the pleasure a psychologist derives from being able to do work well and feeling a pleasure to help others. Compassion fatigue is a direct result of exposure to client’s suffering and complicated by a lack of support in the workplace. Burnout is not directly related to compassion but associated with feelings of hopelessness and difficulties in dealing with conflicts between professional standards and personal feelings and values. Self-care is a potential mechanism to increase the positive and reduce negative outcomes of work on psychologists’ well-being.The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction and burnout as well as correlations of these constructs with health-related behaviour among psychologists. 103 psychologists took part in the study. The Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL, Stamm, 1999–2000), Self Care and Lifestyle Balance Inventory (McKay, 2004) were used.The results have indicated that compassion fatigue positively correlates with burnout (r = 0.725, p < 0.001). In contrast, compassion satisfaction negatively correlates with burnout (r = –0.209, p = 0.035). Also, it has been found that self-care is related with a higher level of compassion satisfaction (r = 0.356, p < 0.001) and with a lower level of compassion fatigue (r = –0.195, p = 0.048). Significant positive correlations have been found among a greater level of compassion satisfaction and sleeping quality, listening to the signals of one’s own body, preservation of good working and communication skills and healthy limits when struggling for onerself, short brakes at work, time spent with trusted people, self-believe and believing in one’s own abilities and satisfaction with important things in life. Compassion fatigue negatively correlates with the ability to leave the working strain behind, hearing the signals of one’s own body, preservation of healthy limits when struggling for oneself and not allowing others to exhaust you and setting real goals of life and systematically reaching them. Positive correlation has been recognized between compassion satisfaction and workload (r = 0.211, p = 0.033). A greater level of compassion satisfaction is also associated with the participants of the study considering themselves believers and church visiting. Additionally positive correlation has been found between psychologists’ burnout and a greater length of time working in education section. Self-care negatively correlates with a greater number of employments.
Adolescents with learning disabilities: Self-evaluation and social support
Authors: Skerytė-Kazlauskienė Monika , Barkauskienė Rasa
Published: January 2019

Although learning disability (LD) has a primary impact on academic achievement, its relation to problematic social and emotional life of children and adolescents has been well recognised. In addition, attention has been paid to self-evaluation of schoolchildren with LD; however, the results of studies are contradictory and can be attributed to various factors. This paper seeks to shed light on the association between self-evaluation and perceived social support in adolescents with LD. We used the multidimensional model of Susan Harter (1999) for understanding and measuring the global and domain-specific self-evaluations. The goals of the current study were to assess relations of self-evaluation to the perceived frequency and importance of social support received from various significant sources – parents, teachers, classmates and close friends in two groups of adolescents, those with LD and their classmates with average academic achievements.The participants were 188 Lithuanian-speaking adolescents from sixth-seventh grades of Vilnius schools, mean age 12.5 years (SD = 0.7). Ninety-five schoolchildren (64 boys and 31 girls) diagnosed as learning-disabled and 93 schoolchildren (58 boys and 35 girls) comprised an age- and sex-matched comparison group from the same schools with average academic achievements. The participants were assessed on Self-Perception Profile for Children (Harter, 1985) and Child and Adolescent Social Support scales (Malecki et al., 2000). The results revealed that the LD group rated themselves worse than average-achieving students on all domain-specific self-evaluations scales: scholastic competence (t = –5.88, p < 0.001), social acceptance (t = –3.08, p < 0.01) , behavioural conduct competence (t = –2.36, p < 0.05) and global self-evaluation (t = –2.30, p < 0.05). Both groups equally perceived social support, its frequency and importance. There were significant associations between self-evaluations and the perception of social support in both groups. However, there were more significant relationships in the LD group, the perceived importance of social support being significantly related to various self-evaluations among adolescents with LD only (correlations for the LD group ranged from 0.24 to 0.40). The further ANCOVA analysis revealed that the self-evaluation of adolescents with LD, who perceived social support as unimportant, tended to be lower than the self-evaluations of adolescents without LD who disvalued the importance of social support.
Predictors of older schoolchildren’s psychological well-being
Authors: Šarakauskienė Ž. , Bagdonas A.
Published: January 2019

The rising numbers of the adolescents’ psychological disorders, on the background of limited investments and available psychological services, awake interest in schoolchildren’s psychological well-being.The goal of the study was to determine which sociodemographic and personality variables are significant predictors of the older schoolchildren’s different psychological well-being dimensions. The dimensions of Lithuanian older schoolchildren’s (N = 655, from 21 general and professional education schools) psychological well-being (autonomy (Cronbach’s α = 0.72), environmental mastery (α = 0.62), personal growth (α = 0.60), positive relations with others (α = 0.72), purpose in life (α = 0.67), and self-acceptance (α = 0.74)) were measured, and with the help of multiple linear regression, the psychological well-being was found not to depend on an family composition, living place (41.8% were from five biggest cities, 36.8% from region towns, 21.4% from villages), attendance of extracurricular activities. It wasn’t possible to draw an unambiguous conclusion concerning psychological well-being independence on gender (58% were girls), age, and economic resources. Boys had higher scores than girls in environmental mastery, purpose in life, and self-acceptance, 18-year-old schoolchildren had scored higher than younger ones in personal growth and purpose in life dimensions; the amount of money received for minor expenses had no relationship with the latter two dimensions of psychological well-being. The internal locus of control predicted higher psychological well-being. A higher learning success significantly positively predicted autonomy, personal growth, and purpose in life. Personality variables predicted schoolchildren’s psychological well-being stronger than did sociodemographic ones. Extraversion predicted higher psychological well-being in all six dimensions, and the consciousness factor positively impacted the environmental mastery and purpose in life scores. Emotional stability predicted higher environmental mastery, positive relations with others, and self-acceptance. Neuroticism was unrelated to autonomy and purpose in life. attention must be paid to the fact that the significant prognostic sociodemographic and personality variables analysed in the study accounted for only rather small amounts of psychological well-being dimension variance (from 16.5% in autonomy and personal growth to 28.6% in environmental mastery and positive relations with others).
Differences between reaction time to stimulus onset and offset: Evidence for post-perceptual effects
Authors: Sokolova R. , Rukšėnas O. , Burle B.
Published: January 2019

Reaction time to stimuli offset is usually longer than to stimuli onset (offset disadvantage). According to V. Di Lollo et al. (2000), such disadvantage arises from the need to suppress the automatically arisen response to stimulus onset that necessarily precedes the offset. If such is the case, one expects the onset–offset difference to decrease as the delay between stimulus onset and offset (i.e. foreperiod) increases. Results of the first experiment confirmed this hypothesis. A potential confounding factor was identified, however, related to different sensory consequences after the response (i.e. light offset vs. light onset in the reaction time to stimulus onset and offset tasks, respectively). We thus reasoned that, besides suppression, the action effect could influence the results. Results of the second experiment in which the sensory consequences were equalized confirmed the role of the action effect and suggest that, when such an effect is removed, suppression plays a little role in offset disadvantage.
Effective psychological treatment in psychotraumatology
Authors: Kazlauskas E.
Published: January 2019

The present article gives an overview of the psycho­logical treatments of psychological trauma. The article is oriented towards practitioners who want to update their knowledge of the recent developments in psychotraumatology. The research findings, based on meta-analyses and good practice guidelines, are presented and the issues related to the implementation of evidence-based treatments are discussed.The study has shown that the critical stress incident debriefing developed by J. T. Mitchell in 1983 (or psychological debriefing) is not recommended imme­diately after trauma. Metaanalysis (Rose et al., 2003; van Emmeric et al., 2002) revealed no positive long-term effects of debriefing immediately after trauma, with indications of negative outcomes in some studies. Practical guidelines of the International Society of Traumatic Stress Studies, as well as other guidelines, do not recommend debriefing as a regular procedure for all survivors. Practical, social, or legal assistance provided in an empathic way is recommended during the first month after the trauma.  Meta-analytical studies published since 1998 concerning the effectiveness of posttraumatic stress disorder treatments demonstrated the efficacy of trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapies (TF-CBT) and eye movement reprocessing and desen­sitization therapy (EMDR). Evidence from studies on the effects of brief eclectic psychotherapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (BEPP), developed by B. Gersons, internet-based treatments, and virtual reality are promising, and these treatments in the future are possible effective alternatives for TF-CBT and EMDR in evidence-based practice. Psychological treatments should be the first option for the treatment of PTSD, with medication used only when the appro­priate psychological treatments are unavailable or the client prefers medication over psychosocial treatment.While a number of RCT studies have shown the efficacy of TF-CBT and EMDR treatment for PTSD, there is still a gap between research and everyday clinical practice. From the practitioner’s point of view, the transfer of manual-based methods from RCT efficacy studies to daily practice is not easy. Clinicians are facing complicated cases, and comorbid disorders are widely prevalent with PTSD. We must also be aware that with the new treatments developed, training of these methods and particularly the availability of sys­tematic supervisions are not always easily accessible; this slows down the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based treatments. Clinicians have to take their own responsibility for selecting what is best for a particular client; however, practitioners also need to make decisions based on what science shows to be the most effective treatment.
Conceptions of the transition to adulthood in a sample of Lithuanian emerging adults
Authors: Vosylis Rimantas
Published: January 2019

Almost two decades ago Arnett (1994, 1997, 2001) suggested that, from the perspective of youth, becoming an adult is not achieved through a series of role changes, such as getting married or starting a long-time career, but rather through the acquisition of individual character qualities, such as the ability to accept responsibility for the consequences of one’s actions, making independent decisions, and becoming financially independent. This sparked a debate among social scientists on whether the “traditional” markers of adulthood (e.g., marriage, leaving the parental home) were still important. One limitation to the line of Arnett’s research is that most of it have been conducted using the USA white student samples. Similar research employing the same instruments, but conducted in different cultures or ethnic groups, showed that criteria for adulthood can vary cross-culturally (e.g., Nelson, Badger, & Wu, 2004). This evidence suggests that cross-cultural generalizations regarding the criteria of adulthood may be limited and, therefore, it is important to evaluate which criteria are perceived by youth as defining adulthood in a particular cultural context.The goal of this study was threefold: to examine the conceptions defining an adult person by Lithuanian emerging adults according to Arnett’s list of adult criteria, to evaluate gender differences in these conceptions, and to evaluate how the popularity of these criteria differ from the views of youth living in other Western industrialized countries. Arnett’s questionnaire on markers of adulthood (2001) was administered to a sample of 434 (age M = 22.5, SD = 1.91) emerging adults.Accepting responsibility for the consequences of one’s actions was viewed as the most necessary criterion for becoming an adult. Being capable of caring for children was the next most highly endorsed criterion for both women and men. The next most important criteria were “avoid drunk driving” (87.1%), “avoid committing petty crimes like vandalism and shoplifting” (82.9%), “decide on personal beliefs and values independently of parents or other influences” (82.0%), “become capable of keeping family physically safe (men)” (81.8%), “if a man, become capable of supporting a family financially” (81.3%), “if a woman, become capable of running a household” (80.2%) and “financially independent from parents” (79.5%). Role transitions, on the other hand, were endorsed only by about a third of the study participants. Taken together, the results suggest that becoming an adult among Lithuanian emerging adults, similarly to other Western countries, is perceived primarily as the acquisition of certain character qualities rather than going through role changes. However, contrary to Arnett’s findings with the US samples, capacities to maintain family responsibilities seem to be more important than achieving independence and self-sufficiency.
A new way of looking at the Barnum effect and its links to personality traits in groups receiving different types of personality feedback
Authors: Poškus Mykolas Simas
Published: January 2019

The present study proposes a new way of looking at the Barnum effect. A theoretical model describing the relationship between personality traits, type of personality feedback, and acceptance of personality feedback is proposed and tested. The results of the study provide proof for the model, supporting the notion that personality feedback is accepted both rationally and irrationally, demonstrating that the Barnum effect is linked to personality traits and these links are moderated by the type of personality feedback that is provided.Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that overall ratings of the acceptance of personality descriptions as a measure of the Barnum effect should be avoided. Rather, researchers should gather the acceptance ratings of the whole personality description presented as feedback, as well as acceptance ratings of its component statements. Any correlations between the acceptance ratings of the whole personality description and other variables should be controlled for the acceptance ratings of the component statements of the whole personality description.

Published: January 2019

Non-invasive diagnosis methods based on x-ray attenuation, such as Computed Tomography (CT) has had since its discovery and the development of this technology, a rapid growth in radiology services. The quantity of dose deposited in patients, is still large, this type of examination is that reaches the highest levels of absorbed dose in the population. Legislation that regulates the levels of patient’s dose is only limited to a maximum amount deposited, depending the body region to be irradiated.  Therefore, it is necessary to determine the amount of absorbed dose on patients depending on the protocols of routine used in radiology services for propose an optimization of these based on the principles of radiation protection. Experiments were conducted to determine the profile of dose deposited in head routine exams for adult, using a cylindrical head phantom made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). This standard phantom has four openings in peripheral and one central. Radiochromic film strips were introduced into each one of these openings to register the longitudinal dose profile in each region to determine the amount of deposited dose in the volume of the head phantom. A CT scanner with 64 channels of GE from the radiology department was used for scanning the head phantom. The scanning were done with voltages of 80, 100 and 120 kV, and dose index found were between 6.24 and 23.73 mGy. Analysis of image quality was performed, finding that all scan comply with the parameters acceptable in diagnosis for Brazilian legislation. It is propose an optimized protocol for exams by CT head for the voltage of 80 kV and images with 0.5% of noise index.

Authors: Salazar Nelson Cesar Santisteban
Published: January 2019

The study was conducted to determine the compliance to radiation protección in the hospitals in the Amazonas region of Peru. A descriptive, cross-sectional and observational study was conducted between April and July 2016; the population was constituted by the workers of the imaging services of three hospitals of the Ministry of Health and three of the Social Health Insurance in the provinces of Chachapoyas, Bagua and Utcubamba; compliance of the radiation protection was measaured with an adapted instrument from the Peruvian Institute of Nuclear Energy, a validated questionnaire measured knowledge of staff. It was found that most of the equipment does not have quality control certificates, high percentage of teams and workers without IPEN licenses and authorizations, a lack of radiation warning signs on the premises, inadequate conditions for the operation of certain rooms, not all hospitals have dosimetry services, limited availability of radiation protection equipment and poor knowledge of radiation protection in exposed workers.This situation could be considered as one of the major limitations to ensure an adequate functioning of the services.. It is concluded that radiation protection measures are not complied with in hospitals in the Amazon region.

More than 6.5 million children in the United States, approximately 13% of all students, miss 15 or more days of school each year. The rates of chronic absenteeism vary between states, communities, and schools, with significant disparities based on income, race, and ethnicity. Chronic school absenteeism, starting as early as preschool and kindergarten, puts students at risk for poor school performance and school dropout, which in turn, put them at risk for unhealthy behaviors as adolescents and young adults as well as poor long-term health outcomes. Pediatricians and their colleagues caring for children in the medical setting have opportunities at the individual patient and/or family, practice, and population levels to promote school attendance and reduce chronic absenteeism and resulting health disparities. Although this policy statement is primarily focused on absenteeism related to students’ physical and mental health, pediatricians may play a role in addressing absenteeism attributable to a wide range of factors through individual interactions with patients and their parents and through community-, state-, and federal-level advocacy.

Queensferry Crossing, UK: network connection structures – design and construction
Authors: Armitage John , Eades David , Chadwick Lucy , MacKinnon Iain
Published: January 2019

Connection of the new Queensferry Crossing in Scotland (UK) into the existing highway networks each side of the Forth estuary has required design and construction of a large number of technically complex structures. This paper describes the technical challenges involved and how multiple constraints were accommodated in design and construction. In particular, Ferrytoll viaduct is a highly skewed bridge with trapezoidal steel box girders and an innovative substructure solution. This structure was a rationalisation of a larger viaduct that had been detailed in the specimen design, a change which yielded significant benefits to cost, programme, landscape and environment. Other network structures include a range of steel composite structures, pretensioned beam structures, retaining walls and modifications to retained existing structures.
Analysis of mass concrete structures with concrete properties by thermal stress device – part II: verification
Authors: Cha Sang-Lyul , Jin Seung-Seop , Kim Jin-Keun
Published: January 2019

Experiments conducted to collect experimental data were described in part I of this set of papers. This paper describes analyses of mass concrete structures (MCSs) performed using concrete properties obtained by thermal stress devices, with the analysis results verified using the experimental data in part I. Concrete properties at the surface and the centre of MCSs are first predicted using stresses obtained by thermal stress devices. The predicted concrete properties are then used for the analysis of MCSs in three different ways. First, concrete properties in MCSs are classified into surface and centre properties, based on the temperature history. Second, the concrete properties in MCSs, which are classified into several parts, are predicted using regression analysis of the concrete properties obtained by thermal stress devices and the temperature–time factor. Third, concrete properties at each location of MCSs are predicted using the apparent activation energy. The stresses, total strains and stress-independent strains obtained from analyses of the MCSs are compared with the experimental results reported in part I in order to verify the prediction accuracy.

Published: January 2019

Bu araştırmada yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğrenenlerin
kaygı durumlarına ilişkin çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda 2018 yılına
kadar yayımlanan 20 çalışmanın içerik analizleri yapılmıştır. İncelenen
çalışmaların birçoğunda nicel ve ilişkisel model kullanılırken ölçme aracı
olarak ise Horwitz, Horwitz ve Cope (1986) tarafından geliştirilen “Yabancı Dil
Sınıf Kaygısı Ölçeği” çoğunlukla kullanılmıştır. İncelemeler sonucunda
kadınların erkeklerden, dil düzeyi yüksek olanların daha düşük olanlardan, daha
büyük yaş gruplarının 17 yaş altı gruptan daha fazla kaygı yaşadıkları
belirlenmiştir. Çalışmaların çoğunlukla konuşma ve yazma dil becerilerine
ilişkin olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırma sonucunda çalışmalarda; uygulamaya
yönelik olarak hedef dilin günlük yaşamda kullanılabileceği ortamlar oluşturulmasına,
kaygının eğitim sürecinde bir etken olarak kabul edilip ortamın bu anlayışla
düzenlenmesine, sınıf içi çeşitli aktiviteler uygulanarak öğrencilerin
kaygılarının giderilmesine ilişkin önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Çalışmalarda;
araştırmacılara yönelik olarak ise farklı dil becerilerinde inceleme yapma,
kaygıya ilişkin durum tespiti ve çözüm önerileri sunan araştırmaların yapılması
ve hangi konularda konuşma kaygısı yaşandığının incelenmesine yönelik
önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Authors: ÖZTÜRK Mustafa Kemal
Published: January 2019

Türküler
toplumun yaşam biçimini, kültürünü yansıtan önemli edebi ürünler içerisinde yer
almaktadır. Türkülerdeki motifler bu kültürü yansıtan ögelerdir. Bu motifler
halkın yaşam tarzını, gelenek ve göreneklerini yansıtırlar. Bu çalışma Ardahan
türkülerindeki söz varlığı ve kültürel motifleri belirlemek amacıyla
yapılmıştır.  Çalışmada betimsel
yöntem kullanılmış olup doküman incelemesi yapılarak Ardahan iline ait türküler, genel konu başlıkları ile
içerdiği motifler ve semboller açısından incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda Türkiye
Radyo Televizyon Kurumu (TRT) kaynaklarından ulaşılabilinen Ardahan yöresine
ait yirmi iki türkü İncelenmiştir. İncelenen Ardahan
türkülerinde sevgili – aşk, göç, ayrılık, gurbet, doğa, ölüm - ağıt ve ekonomik
faaliyetler gibi konuların işlendiği görülmektedir. İncelenen türkülerdeki
kültürel motiflere yörenin yer şekilleri ve dış mekân unsurları, iklim,
hayvanlar, bitkiler, gök cisimleri, madenler, dinî ögeler, renkler, kadın ve
erkek adları, akrabalar, hüzün ve acı, giyim eşyaları, düğünler ve
enstrümanların etki ettiği görülmektedir. Türkülerin söz varlığı ele
alındığında yörenin kültürel dokusuyla yakından ilişkili olduğu ortaya
çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Ardahan yöresi türkülerindeki söz varlığını oluşturan
ögeler ele alınmıştır. Okullarda çeşitli kademelerde ve farklı derslerde kültür
aktarımında türkülerin söz varlığından yararlanılması etkili bir yol olacaktır.

görüşme formu ve Topçuoğlu Ünal ve Köse’nin (2014) geliştirdiği “Türkçe Dersine
Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır. Deney grubunda 10 hafta boyunca öğretim
programındaki konular bilgisayar destekli materyaller kullanılarak
anlatılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde ilişkisiz örneklemler t testi, ilişkili örneklemler t testi uygulanmıştır. Bilgisayar
destekli materyal kullanımının Türkçe dersine yönelik tutumları olumlu yönde
etkilediği tespit
edilmiştir. Cinsiyet ve kendilerine ait
bir bilgisayara sahip olma gibi değişkenlerine göre ise anlamlı farklılık
görülmemiştir. Deney grubu öğrencileri bu materyallerle işlenen Türkçe dersinin
daha eğlenceli ve etkili olduğunu ifade etmişlerdir.
Where Was the Wall Then? Where Is It Now?
Authors: Throgmorton James A.
Published: January 2019

This paper investigates the power of "walls" to constrain thought and silence diverse voices of reason within planning. Using die Mauer (The Berlin Wall) as a linking metaphor, this paper juxtaposes mid-1950s planning in a spatially- and ideologically-divided Berlin (Germany) against Harland Bartholomew‘s mid-1950s planning in a racially-divided Louisville, Kentucky (USA). It then juxtaposes the latter against a mid-1950s narrative about efforts to desegregate housing in Louisville. This juxtaposition reveals that some people in Louisville used the Cold War divide between East and West to reinforce the long-standing racial divide between blacks and whites. Moreover, it reveals that, by deferring to Cold War-related racial politics that could not be questioned, Bartholomew‘s technical approach to planning silenced other voices of reason and thereby reflected and reproduced the race-inflected politics of the Cold War divide. The paper concludes by briefly considering what Bartholomew might have done differently in the context and by exploring what this juxtaposition of stories implies for planning in the context of the contemporary "war against terrorists."
Sistem Minimum Berbasis Mikrokontroler ATmega2560 sebagai Sistem Pengaman pada Analogi Lemari Penyimpanan Brankas
Authors: Sholehati Muchammad Takdir , Goeritno Arief
Published: January 2019

A minimum system based on ATmega2560 microcontroller has been created that functioned as a safety system in the analogy of the cupboard for storage of the safes. Making the minimum system is done through a number of phases, namely integrating the system, programming against the microcontroller system, and validation test in the form of system performance measurement through giving the forced state. System integration is in the form of installing a device on two lines in the input port and two lines in the output port of the microcontroller. Programming is based on algorithms and the syntax of Arduino IDE-based through 6 (six) stages, namely pins configuration, variable and constants declaration, initialization, main program, retrieved and send data, and output. The validation test is carried out in the form of 4 (four) conditions, namely a) when the RFID module is not detected, b) when the card is detected by the RFID module, c) when the door is opened, and the buzzer is "on", the card is not detected when tagged on the antenna, and d) when the door is forcibly opened, and the buzzer is "on", while the card is detected when tagged on the antenna. Maximizing the security against the door of analogy the cupboard for storage of the safes is detected by the limit switch condition when the door is opened forcefully and the buzzer sounds. For neutralizing conditions for buzzer conditions, it is done through tagging an RFID card through the antenna. The buzzer still sounds, if the blank data is unreadable by the RFID module, while the buzzer can be neutralized if the card was tagged, the data card stored is read by the RFID module.
La imaginación orgánica y sobrenatural en la crítica literaria colombiana del siglo XIX
Authors: Palacios Amézquita Camila
Published: January 2019

Las tensiones ideológicas que marcan el siglo xix se evidencian en toda clase de discursos, entre ellos el de la crítica literaria. A pesar de las diferencias manifiestas entre los ejercicios críticos de algunos autores de la época, puede hablarse de ejes que unifican sus trabajos: el pensamiento positivista y el pensamiento religioso, notoriamente católico, que encuentran lugar en la imaginación orgánica y en la imaginación sobrenatural, respectivamente. A lo largo de este texto se analizarán las imágenes que configuran las líneas de pensamiento mencionadas de acuerdo con algunas de las problemáticas literarias que abordan.
Erotismo femenino en la antología Ardores y furores. Relatos eróticos de escritoras colombianas
Authors: Reverón Peña María Isabel , Parra Pérez Mario Antonio
Published: January 2019

El texto muestra cómo la primera antología de relatos eróticos escritos por mujeres publicada en Colombia, Ardores y furores (2003), abre un espacio al deseo femenino dentro de la ficción erótica colombiana del siglo xxi para cuestionar algunas características impuestas a “lo erótico”, tales como la restricción a la cópula sexual, la fugacidad y la presencia de cuerpos voluptuosos. Asimismo, el artículo reflexiona sobre diversas formas de presentación del erotismo femenino en la obra y cómo el deseo femenino no puede expresarse ni completa ni conscientemente aún en la sociedad colombiana y por ello se apela en la antología a subterfugios como el desdoblamiento o el sueño.
La búsqueda del sentido de vida en relación con los espacios en la obra Los hombres invisibles de Mario Mendoza
Authors: Cardona Jaramillo Natalia Andrea
Published: January 2019

el presente texto tiene como propósito analizar la búsqueda de ‘sentido de vida’ en relación con los espacios en la novela Los hombres invisibles del escritor Mario Mendoza. Para ello se toma como referencia dicho concepto a partir de los presupuestos de Viktor Frankl y Alfred Längle en la Logoterapia y el Análisis Existencial, respectivamente, a través de los cuales se logra demostrar que encontrar el sentido de vida es un imperativo en el ser humano, y que en dicha consecución son determinantes los espacios en los cuales este se establece y desarrolla su proyecto de vida.
Teaching Note: Using Adult Learning Principles for Evidence-Based Learning in a BSW Research Course
Authors: Conner Laneshia R. , Richardson Sonyia , Murphy April L.
Published: January 2019

Many social work students report experiencing feelings of anxiety and reluctance to engage in independent research. This article offers a framework for integrating adult learning principles into an undergraduate social work research course. We delineate the six principles of adult learning and describe course activities that facilitate this learning process. For each principle, we discuss implications for the classroom and related learning tasks. Using adult learning principles challenges and extends what is known about integrating the experience of adult learners in conjunction with improving student learning, including effectively communicating evidence-based practice.
