Perceived Partner Responsiveness Attenuate the Link Between Menopausal Symptoms and Depressed Affect
Authors: Lee Kayeon , Jun Hey Jung , Joo Susanna , Lee Sun Ah 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The years around menopause are the time that associates not only with hormonal changes but with psychological and social transitions, and previous studies have consistently revealed the relationship between menopause and depression. The present study examined the moderating effect of perceived partner responsiveness (PPR) on the association between menopausal symptoms (MS) and depressed affect (DA). The sample was middle-aged climacteric women (N = 754, Age=49-60) from the second wave of Midlife in the United States (MIDUSⅡ). Measurement for MS consisted of the frequency of five symptoms in the past 30 days (insomnia, heavy sweating, painful intercourse, hot flashes, and irritability). PPR was assessed using three items matched the core components of responsiveness (understanding, validating, and caring). Results revealed that there were significant interactions between menopausal symptoms and PPR (b = 0.05, p &lt; 0.039). Specifically, the level of elevation of DA in response to MS was smaller in women with higher levels of PPR (b = 2.93, p &lt; 0.001) than in those with lower levels of PPR (b =3.05, p &lt; 0.001). According to the region of significance analysis, the coefficients of MS on DA were significant within the -2SD to +2SD range of PPR, but it decreased as the PPR increased. Findings suggest that partners’ careful responsiveness may mitigate the detrimental effects of MS on DA among climacteric women.
Presence of Meaning Mediates the Relationship Between Meaning Search and Outcome: A Cross-Cultural Study
Authors: Fung Nicole Long Ki , Fung Helene 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Search for meaning (SFM) is associated with many well-being measures. The mechanism behind remains unclear. This study explores presence of meaning (POM) as a mediator to explain the association. While dialectical thinking in Eastern cultures values both process and outcome, oppositional thinking in Western cultures makes the two opposing. Since dialectical thinking increases with age, we hypothesize that with increased age, SFM is associated with POM more positively (less negatively). This heightened POM results in better well-being. We surveyed 2014 participants (aged 18-96, Mage= 55.6) in Eastern cultures: Hong Kong and Taiwan; Western cultures: Germany, United States and the Czech Republic. In Eastern cultures, SFM was positively associated with POM and life satisfaction. POM partially mediated the relationship between SFM and life satisfaction (b=0.328, p&lt;.001). With age, SFM was associated more positively with POM and life satisfaction (b=0.009, p&lt;.001). While POM partially mediated the relationship in younger adults (b=0.162, p&lt;.001), full mediation was found in older adults (b=0.451, p&lt;.001). In Western cultures, SFM was negatively associated with POM and life satisfaction. POM partially mediated the relationship between SFM and life satisfaction (b=-0.120, p&lt;.001). With age, the negative association of SFM with POM and life satisfaction was attenuated (b=0.002, p&lt;.001). These finding suggested that SFM becomes more beneficial to older adults across culture via establishing POM. Identifying factors that facilitate the process of achieving meaning through searching is therefore important.
The Impact of Financial Coaching on Health and Finances in Older Scam and ID Theft Victims
Authors: Lichtenberg Peter , Hall LaToya , Campbell Rebecca , Gross Evan 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Population based and clinical samples consistently demonstrate that older financial exploitation (FE) victims are vulnerable across multiple domains. Our earlier research indicated that older scam and identity theft victims were vulnerable across multiple health and mental health dimensions as compared to a control group. The current work is a longitudinal study of 20 financial coaching participants and 20 controls. Program participants received individual financial coaching to help with credit problems, reporting and collections after they were scam or identity theft victims. Both groups received baseline assessment and 6 month followups (from the time of the end of the coaching). The mean age of the sample was 69 years, with a mean of 15 years of education. Seventy percent of the sample were women and African Americans. Control participants had fewer health conditions and better memory and executive functioning at baseline as compared to coaching participants. While there were no significant health measure changes in the control group, the coaching group demonstrated significantly decreased anxiety at follow up and trends for improved executive functioning and IADLs. Further, while financial stress and social support were significantly lower for the coaching group at baseline, at followup there were no group differences in these measures. The study results provide evidence that the financial coaching program has served as a protective factor in negating many of the adverse outcomes associated with FE and supports financial coaching programs as an appropriate intervention. In addition the coaching services saved or returned monies to nearly 65% of participants.

Authors: Humboldt Sofia von , Niculescu Georgeta , Low Gail , Leal Isabel 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Objective: This study aims the perspectives of older adults on their sexual well-being. For this purpose, a qualitative research was carried out, which analyzes older adults’ perspectives on indicators of sexual well-being in Portugal and Romania. Methods: Forty seven older participants aged 65 to 91 years, were interviewed. Participants lived in the community. All the interviews went through content analysis. Results: Preliminary results of content analysis generated 5 themes for the Romanian sample: Supportive relationship (k = .92, p &lt; .01); positive financial situation (k = .91, p &lt; .01); good health (k = 94, p &lt; .01); education (k = .88, p &lt; .01); and family support (k = .89, p &lt; .01); and five themes for the Portuguese sample: Supportive relationship (k = .91, p &lt; .01); demonstration of love (k = .91, p &lt; .01); sharing joint activities (k = 92, p &lt; .01); positive attitude and good humor (k = .91, p &lt; .01); and open communication (k = .99, p &lt; .01); Conclusions: This study highlighted the perspectives of Portuguese and Romanian older adults concerning sexual well-being. For both samples, showing a supportive relationship with a partner was the more frequent theme. Keywords: Content analysis; cross-national; older adults; qualitative study; sexual well-being.
Accretion and outflow activity in proto-brown dwarfs
Authors: Riaz B , Bally J 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
We present a near-infrared study of accretion and outflow activity in 6 Class 0/I proto-brown dwarfs (proto-BDs) using VLT/SINFONI spectroscopy and spectro-imaging observations. The spectra show emission in several [Fe II] and H2 lines associated with jet/outflow activity, and in the accretion diagnostics of Pa β and Br γ lines. The peak velocities of the [Fe II] lines (&gt;100 km s−1) are higher than the H2 lines. The Class 0 proto-BDs show strong emission in the H2 lines but the [Fe II] lines are undetected, while the Class I objects show emission in both [Fe II] and H2 lines, suggesting an evolutionary trend in the jets from a molecular to an ionic composition. Extended emission with knots is seen in the [Fe II] and H2 spectro-images for 3 proto-BDs, while the rest show compact morphologies with a peak on-source. The accretion rates for the proto-BDs span the range of (2× 10−6 – 2× 10−8) M⊙ yr−1, while the mass loss rates are in the range of (4× 10−8 – 5× 10−9) M⊙ yr−1. These rates are within the range measured for low-mass protostars and higher than Class II brown dwarfs. We find a similar range in the jet efficiency for proto-BDs as measured in protostars. We have performed a study of the Brackett decrement from the Br 7-19 lines detected in the proto-BDs. The upper Brackett lines of Br 13–19 are only detected in the earlier stage systems. The ratios of the different Brackett lines with respect to the Brγ line intensity are consistent with the ratios expected from Case B recombination.
Value Creation and Moral Comfort Zones
Authors: Rochat Philippe 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Value creation and agreement with others create the central core of social life. It is the main feature of how we manage to co-exist and somehow tame that selfish beast lying in all of us. We know how to create comfort zones with selected others, which can quickly turn into affective cliques, the exclusive social bubbles where comfort zones are shared. The central questions are, Why and who are those selected to share comfort zones, and who are those accepted within a particular exclusive bubble? Inversely, who are those who are rejected? Those are perennial psychological questions that need to be addressed if we want to understand our morals, in particular, our moral acrobatics. Universally, we strive toward the co-construction of shared comfort zones, what we might refer to as harmonious co-existence with some, possibly the largest possible number of people, yet always by the necessary exclusion of others—those subjectively deemed incapable or not willing to share with the in-group.
Hitler Was a Vegetarian
Authors: Rochat Philippe 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
We all have morals, including Hitler who was contemptuous of meat eaters, a self-proclaimed vegetarian and militant protector of animals. He was also a devoted son, devastated when his mother died. Often tagged “criminal of the century,” Gestapo in chief Heinrich Himmler was responsible for running all Nazi concentration and extermination camps. He was also a die-hard vegetarian, fervently opposed to hunting. Such facts are hard to fathom. They show that the central moral philosophy and psychology question is not whether some have morals and others don’t. The real questions are, What kind of morals, what are they made of, where do they come from, and, more important for this book, what holds them together in spite of blatant inconsistencies?
No Pure Monsters
Authors: Rochat Philippe 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
We have to come to terms with the fact that terrorists and serial killers like Ted Bundy and Ariel Castro love their parents and children. They worship their God and, in most instances, show extreme devotion to others that can lead to horrendous self-sacrifices like suicide bombings. As much as they kill, they also reciprocate affections and dedication from family members, neighbors, or close ideological allies. Pure monsters do not exist, and this is difficult, if not impossible, for us to either fathom or digest. In fact, despite our desire to hold the world in black and white, there are no pure monsters.
Women’s Duty
Authors: Margolin Leslie 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
“Women’s Duty” mirrors the previous chapter on men’s free will by showing how intercourse has been treated as a husband’s right and a woman’s obligation. This chapter uses case studies to reflect on how sex therapists may accept as normal and natural heterosexual women’s obligation to adapt to men’s sexual needs. The chapter also highlights how women’s resistance to sex with men is often seen in sex therapy’s professional literature as an obstacle to achieving family goals and how overcoming that resistance—taking on the burden of unwanted intercourse—is treated as a responsible way of “saving the marriage’ and “protecting the family.”
Epilogue
Authors: Frankel Francine R. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Strategic realignments in Asia after the 1962 India-China war are still playing out. China’s attempt to bottle up India in the subcontinent resulted in an “all-weather” China-Pakistan friendship, including transfer of blueprints for a nuclear bomb. The 1973 India-Pakistan war and the creation of Bangladesh changed the political map of the subcontinent. China’s rapid economic growth and military modernization now challenges US primacy in Asia, its long-sought goal since the Korean War. An Indian-US strategic partnership remains under discussion.
The New Landscape of Tenure
Authors: Redstone Ilana 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The tenure decision is intentionally constructed around the very idea of career vulnerability, since the real possibility of its denial is central to the entire process. The last thing a tenure-track professor wants or needs is to do or say anything that will motivate people to oppose a positive tenure decision. The surest way to avoid this is to steer clear of both research and social media activity that might stir up opposition. Thus, obtaining tenure now requires a more careful effort than in the past to steer clear of politically controversial topics, both in research and in public statements on any topic.
Back to Church
Authors: Coffman Elesha J. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
It is not possible directly to connect Mead’s return to Manus in 1953 with her return to church in 1955. She was, however, exposed to a particularly vibrant form of Christianity there, one that propelled rather than impeded social change. During the past decade, she had grown frustrated with American churches that she saw as divisive, harboring racism, anti-Semitism, and anti-scientific attitudes, but in Manus she saw the power of institutional religion in a new way. Maybe American Christianity could be a vehicle for her moral vision. Her perspective on Christian missions also shifted considerably. Not long after her trip, she renewed her church membership, and soon after that she got deeply involved in church work. She would not say that she recovered her faith, because she insisted that she never lost it. Still, something came into focus for her in the mid-1950s that had been blurry for many years, and her still-boundless energies found new, and more explicitly churchly, directions.
A House for Mr Biswas and the Theory of the West Indian Novel
Authors: Ghosh William 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
This chapter is about the novel form in the West Indies in the 1960s. The novel, in this period, was a key site in which debates about decolonization, originality, and cultural sovereignty took place. Naipaul’s A House for Mr Biswas was central to this debate. It responds to a history of West Indian novels and novel theory, and became an influential text in novels, criticism, and social theory in the region. Work by George Lamming, Kamau Brathwaite, and Sylvia Wynter is discussed in detail. By tracing the changing reception of A House for Mr Biswas in the Caribbean through the 1960s, we can also trace changing ideas and priorities in Caribbean social thought.
The Enigma of Heteronymy
Authors: Ganeri Jonardon 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The two poles around which Pessoa’s entire philosophy of self revolves are commitments to two extremely enigmatic propositions: [simulation] I am a subject other than the subject I am; and [depersonalization] I am merely a forum for the subject I am. What I am calling the ‘enigma of heteronymy’ is the challenge to provide an analysis of the functions of the first person, that is to say, the use or uses of the pronoun ‘I’ and so of the phenomenology of self-consciousness, according to which this pair of propositions is not trivially false but, on the contrary, interestingly and importantly true. I set aside a solution to the enigma which some interpreters of Pessoa have found tempting. The enticing solution is to deny that Pessoa is rational. To put it another way: has Pessoa made a fundamental discovery about the nature of subjectivity, or is he in the grip of a psychosis? It is clear though, first of all, that the depersonalization Pessoa is talking about does not satisfy the diagnostic criteria of the eponymous mental disorder. Contemporary philosophers of psychiatry agree that a characteristic of a genuine mental disorder is that it is something over which the sufferer has little or no control. Pessoa refers to Henri-Frédéric Amiel several times, and his experiences too are ‘philosophical experiences’, under the direction of his guided imagination.
The Multiplicity of I
Authors: Ganeri Jonardon 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
If in heteronymic simulation I am a subject other than the subject I am, there are evidently as many other I’s as there are possible acts of simulation. Pessoa, inhabiting countless lives, says that by creating in imagination a multiplicity of virtual subjects, each of which is him, he has ‘ubiquitized’ himself. So he affirms a thesis I will call ‘Subject Plurality’: I am many subjects other than the subject I am. We need, though, to distinguish two versions of this thesis, for it can be read as making either a diachronic claim or a synchronic one. Interpreters of Pessoa have been drawn to present the Pessoan self as a sort of parliament or confederation of souls. Despite Pessoa’s appeal, once, to the metaphor of a colony—and there only in connection with the phenomenal unity of consciousness rather than with reference to the multiplicity of heteronyms—the ‘confederation’ theory is not Pessoa’s. It is a Proustian, not a Pessoan, picture of multiplicity. An appreciation of this distinction is crucial to seeing why Pessoa’s multiplicity of I is not reducible to another mental illness, multiple personality disorder. The distinction between successive and simultaneous subject plurality has found a surprising application: understanding Afrofuturism’s experimentation with multiple sonic selves.
Origins of ISDS Treaties
Authors: Van Harten Gus 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
In this chapter, it is explained how investor–state dispute settlement (ISDS) treaties originate in the efforts of former colonial powers and international organizations, especially the World Bank, to constrain newly independent countries. The treaties grew slowly in the 1970s and 1980s and then very rapidly in the 1990s, setting the stage for today’s litigation boom. A new legal industry began to grow too, pursuing an opportunity, which arbitrators helped to create, to feed on the carcass of the pre-ISDS sovereign. In addition, institutions like the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, and the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce sought to attract the claims that brought business to the house.
Computation and Information Processing
Authors: Piccinini Gualtiero 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
This chapter presents a mechanistic account of physical computation and elucidates the relation between computation and information processing. Physical computation is the processing of medium-independent vehicles by a functional mechanism in accordance with a rule. Physical computation may be digital, analog, or of other kinds. Individuating computational vehicles and the functions a system computes requires considering the interaction between a system and its immediate environment; in this sense, computational individuation is externalistic. Information processing is the processing, by a functional mechanism, of vehicles that carry information. In general, computation can occur without information processing and information processing can occur without computation. Nevertheless, typical computing systems process information, and many information processors are computing systems.
Literature and Moral Philosophy
Authors: Christensen Anne-Marie Søndergaard 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The chapter contributes to the development of a pluralistic conception of moral philosophy consisting of a diversity of descriptive activities by exploring one example of how to combine an understanding of the particulars of moral life with the more general and abstract insights traditionally developed in moral philosophy, namely via moral philosophy’s engagement with literature. The chapter is motivated by the argument that the irreducible role of the particular in moral life raises a demand for moral philosophy to interact with other disciplines which may serve as sources of knowledge about the particularities of moral life. It is argued that engagement with literature offers us knowledge by acquaintance and possibilities of moral cultivation, and that literature can be a suitable partner for moral philosophy in three activities that differ from the development of moral theories: namely in the exploration, the critique, and the development of moral life. The last type of activity, where literature is a partner for moral philosophy in initiating forms of moral change, is given special attention, and it is shown that this is an integrated part of moral philosophy, even if it is currently underexplored.
Descriptive Moral Philosophy
Authors: Christensen Anne-Marie Søndergaard 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The final chapter develops the conception of a descriptive, pluralistic, and elucidatory moral philosophy established throughout the book and investigates the relationship between moral philosophy and moral life. It expands on two central suggestions of this work, namely that moral philosophy is fundamentally descriptive, and that the moral cannot be delineated, but is a pervasive presence in moral life. This leads to a discussion of how we are to understand the practicality of moral philosophy, and how it can be said to be aiding moral life, namely by advancing moral orientation, by making recommendations for moral attention, and by inviting us to develop and engage with new forms of moral thought, even forms of moral change. A central discussion concerns the role of the moral philosopher, and it is argued that philosophical work is an activity that itself involves a two-sided responsibility, an inward responsibility to continuously work on one’s wants and expectations and an outward responsibility to continuously stay open and attentive towards the investigated phenomenon. The last section recapitulates and evaluates the work done in the book.

Despite the advances of cytology-based screening for cervical cancer, its efficacy as a primary screening method in many developing countries is limited by low sensitivity for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or invasive cancer. Because of this, human papillomavirus (HPV) screening is often introduced for primary screening.

Hormone therapy (HT) for menopausal symptoms and its risk-to-benefit ratio have been a controversial topic within the scientific community for several decades. The complicated benefits and potential adverse events associated with menopausal HT were first reported in 2002 by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI).
