Naturkatastrophe als Zeitkritik

Temporal dimension in hospice has an essential role, because the perception of time by the patients is influenced by the perspective of death. There are few international scientific studies and even fewer Italian studies about the perception of time by the patients, especially in palliative care. Therefore it's important to implement studies in this area with the purpose of giving more respectful and appropriate caring. This study aimed to explore the perception of time by hospice patients and the implications that the perception of time has on the quality of life, and propose a time reading model. Qualitative approach was used. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 25 hospice patients, enrolled with purposeful sampling. Data analysis was conducted using Qualitative Content Analysis. The perception of time by patients in palliative care was described through three main themes: "time has quality and value", "time can be governed by people or dominate the person", "time has a present dimension that passes quickly or slowly and a future dimension made up of expectation and hopes". Was proposed a time reading model about connection between Aiòn, Chronos and Kairòs. Through interviews was explored perception of time by patient obtaining useful elements for nursing care. This study suggests possible future directions for research about further elements that influence the experience of time and about the healthcare professional perspective about this theme.

The article examines the relationships between the studies on time and eternity in ancient philosophy and some prayers of the liturgical texts of the Eucharistic Canon of the AAC. Liturgical texts, such as church hymns, prayers and mainly the texts of the anaphora, reflect not only theological but also philosophical views, especially in the issue of perception and development of understanding of historical time in the medieval era. The philosophy of postmodernism, tracing its genesis to antiquity, for a long time ignored liturgical texts as an object for philosophical research, thereby determining their place on the periphery. As a rule, these texts are studied within the framework of linguistics and archaeography, and are also partly used as a historical source.1 The partial exclusion of liturgical prayers from Western philosophical discourse is associated with such historical phenomena as early Renaissance humanism, the Protestant Reformation and the history of early modern literature. Thus, the basis of the modern selective approach to philosophical texts is a stable position regarding the forms of knowledge traditionally considered philosophical.2 Nevertheless, a philosophical analysis of a sacred text is possible, in particular in the systemically presented process of transformation of the perception of cyclical time into linear and in the formation of the concept of eschatological orientation.

The paper is a historical excursion into the perception of time and how this important temporal dimension of the modern man was indissolubly linked to the social, religious, economic, cultural or political environment from Western Europe. The author presents the main periods in the history of time, from the natural time and the ecclesiastical time specific to the traditional society of the Middle Ages to the way in which “modern time” emerged throughout the last seven centuries. In the last part, he refers to the different perception of time in Romania, explained by the religious and internal relations factors, conditions which made possible the coexistence of mechanical and natural time.

PurposeThis work proposes to study the phenomenon of fashion not as being evolutionary but as a consumption response that is mediated by consumers having a certain perception of time. This work also proposes not only that the temporal dimension seems to be essential in the process of fashion adoption but also that emotional aspects are predominant.Design/methodology/approachAn empirical work was conducted based on structural equation modelling with a sample of 341 individuals, using path modelling with a multi‐group analysis.FindingsThe empirical results show that the needs for social acceptance not only do not arouse interest in new tendencies but even entail unpleasant emotions such as anxiety. Moreover, fashion is more emotionally positive if it has the quality of future.Practical implicationsNot only would it be profitable to promote involvement with fashion by transmitting the importance of others, but also the use of social needs in advertising could be unethical since it would generate unease in the consumer. Since it is clear that, in fashion, an orientation to the past is accompanied by an increase in negative emotions, it seems logical to reject designers who praise classic styles without offering anything new.Originality/valueThe work studies the phenomenon of fashion not as being evolutionary but as a consumption response that is mediated by consumers having a certain perception of time.

This study investigates the impact of ephemeral content platforms, specifically Snapchat and Instagram Stories, on users’ perception of time and space in contemporary digital environments. Despite the growing prevalence of these platforms, the ways in which they mediate spatio-temporal experiences remain underexplored. The research aims to analyze how features such as Snapchat’s SnapMap and Instagram Stories reshape human engagement with geographical and temporal dimensions, and how these changes influence social behaviors and cultural practices. Employing an autoethnographic approach, the study integrates theoretical frameworks from Giddens’ time-space distanciation, Harvey’s time-space compression, and media theories by Innis and McLuhan to critically examine the interplay between digital content, immediacy, and spatial awareness. Findings reveal that these platforms simultaneously extend human connectivity across vast distances while accelerating the perception of immediacy, giving rise to phenomena such as "time hacking" and the pervasive Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). Snapchat’s SnapMap interweaves real, imagined, and knowledge-based spaces, altering users’ spatial consciousness, whereas Instagram Stories cultivates a heightened sense of “internet time” that compresses and transforms temporal experiences. The study concludes that ephemeral digital platforms foster a mediated and hybridized sense of time and space, challenging traditional spatio-temporal boundaries. These insights have implications for digital literacy, social interaction, and the design of user-centered media, suggesting that understanding the spatio-temporal effects of ephemeral content is crucial for navigating contemporary digital life.

To test whether atypical number development may affect other types of quantity processing, we investigated temporal discrimination in adults with developmental dyscalculia (DD). This also allowed us to test whether number and time may be sub-served by a common quantity system or decision mechanisms: if they do, both should be impaired in dyscalculia, but if number and time are distinct they should dissociate. Participants judged which of two successively presented horizontal lines was longer in duration, the first line being preceded by either a small or a large number prime (“1” or “9”) or by a neutral symbol (“#”), or in a third task participants decided which of two Arabic numbers (either “1,” “5,” “9”) lasted longer. Results showed that (i) DD’s temporal discriminability was normal as long as numbers were not part of the experimental design, even as task-irrelevant stimuli; however (ii) task-irrelevant numbers dramatically disrupted DD’s temporal discriminability the more their salience increased, though the actual magnitude of the numbers had no effect; in contrast (iii) controls’ time perception was robust to the presence of numbers but modulated by numerical quantity: therefore small number primes or numerical stimuli seemed to make durations appear shorter than veridical, but longer for larger numerical prime or numerical stimuli. This study is the first to show spared temporal discrimination – a dimension of continuous quantity – in a population with a congenital number impairment. Our data reinforce the idea of a partially shared quantity system across numerical and temporal dimensions, which supports both dissociations and interactions among dimensions; however, they suggest that impaired number in DD is unlikely to originate from systems initially dedicated to continuous quantity processing like time.

Theanalysisofconceptsofconsciousness,self-consciousness andit’sstructure,thebordersofprocessofrealization,therealizationoftimeandperception of time are given in the article. The determination of maintenance of concept of notion realization of time, it’s place in the process of self-consciousness , the features of perception of time by personality became the aim of the research. Time is a separate problem that requires independent analysis, reflection, and study. The most important question is the nature of time. Domestic psychologists are more often guided by a linear model of time, its asymmetry, which is related to the passage of time from the past through the present into the future. The characteristics of time include absolute time and relative time, linear and cyclic time models, the direction of time and its reversibility, symmetry, and asymmetry. The degree of their development is uneven. Such a characteristic of time as an inevitability is considered. As it is possible to return to a specific space, it is impossible to return at a particular time. Establishing an objective order or irreversible sequence of events over time implies the disclosure of a causal relationship between them. This is the basis for a person's awareness of the series of events. In order to reveal the causal dependence of events, it is necessary to establish an objective order or an unambiguous, irreversible sequence of events in time. The understanding causal relationship, we indirectly resolve the issue of the aim sequence of events. It is noted that the perception of time, unlike the perception of space, has a fixed starting point from which the reference is made. The starting point is the present, which divides time into the past and the future. Thus, in the perception of time, a man distinguished two aspects: subjective and objective-conditional. The individual element is related to the personal assessment of events, filled with given events and emotions. The objective-conditional item is associated with the objective course of events and their sequence. The subjective aspect creates a reflection of a personal sense of time, while the objective-conditional helps the person to navigate in time.

The life course perspective proves to be beneficial in understanding complex social phenomena such as migration by highlighting the impact of past events on current decisions. However, its chronological and linear perception of time and the compartmentalisation of life experiences into discrete stages have been subject to criticism. Building on the argument of Neale (2020, Qualitative longitudinal research: Research methods . Bloomsbury Publishing) and Sánchez-Mira and Bernardi (2021, Longitudinal and Life Course Studies, 12 (1), 19–40) about the importance of integrating both linear and fluid perceptions of temporality in life course research, we argue that a purely linear perspective on time is insufficient for capturing the complexity of decision-making processes and their underlying motives. A comprehensive understanding of these processes requires considering both notions of time. To support this argument, we apply a biographical approach. By using narrative interviews, we analyse the life stories of interviewees, with a particular focus on the temporal dimensions of their narratives. The findings reveal a dual perception of time in how interviewees reflect on their migration decisions. While their narrated life stories follow a linear structure shaped by chronological stages and fixed societal expectations, a systematic reconstruction of their narratives reveals a more fluid, non-linear perception of time. Additionally, the motives behind their migration decisions highlight this non-linear temporality.

On magnitudes in memory: An internal clock account of space–time interaction

PurposeThis paper aims to analyse how the temporal dimension is conceptualised in studies of the internationalisation process of firms and its implications. Theoretical models such as U-Model and INV explain the process of internationalisation as dynamic; nonetheless, time is approached as an underlying aspect of the process. In this essay, time is brought to the spotlight since, despite its strategic relevance, it has been treated implicitly in studies of the internationalisation processes, except in those that address the speed of internationalisation.Design/methodology/approachBased on a critical reassessment of the academic literature, the authors present theoretical arguments and highlight elements to be considered in the analysis of the temporal dimension throughout the internationalisation process of firms.FindingsThis essay focuses on expanding the comprehension of temporality in the internationalisation process, that underlies periods of changes, implied also in periods of stability. The paper discusses time dimension implications during the internationalisation process and reveals that there is an interaction between temporal verticality (context/events), subjective dimension of time (perception and interpretation of time) and objective dimension of time (stability and changes). Therefore, it sustains that these interactions compress past, present and future actions in the internationalisation process.Research limitations/implicationsBecause of the chosen research approach, this essay did not empirically apply the theoretical model and propositions. Therefore, future studies may empirically apply the propositions and use the temporal lens to look deeper at the temporality of internationalisation process and shed further light on the mechanisms that interlink the pre-and post-entry phases.Practical implicationsThe argument helps entrepreneurs understand that actions throughout the internationalisation process are also influenced by the experience of time and not only governed by rational matters. Changes in the context can alter the perception of present time as being restricted, and in turn, may alter the flux of future internationalisation actions. However, if actions are conducted in a precipitated manner it can bring forth negative results for the firm. It is essential to recognise the importance of temporal verticality and subjective dimension of time as influencers of future actions of the objective dimension of time in the process of internationalisation.Originality/valueWhile most research is restricted to understanding time as speed, this essay brings a theoretical model extending the knowledge of time in the literature of international business and international entrepreneurship, by including factors that imply temporality. By explaining the relationship between temporal aspects, it is argued that temporal verticality (events and context) influences temporal subjectivity (perception of the present and interpretation of the past) to direct future actions of the temporality of internationalisation (stability and changes).

Left insular cortex and left SFG underlie prismatic adaptation effects on time perception: Evidence from fMRI

This paper shows the work of the 'Cosmopolitan Workshop', which is part of the Arts and Study Abroad Program (ASAP) at Tokyo University of the Arts. ASAP encourages interdisciplinarity and practical design research strategies out of
 the studio, the university, and the country. Especially, the Cosmopolitan Workshop explores a way for understanding and conceiving the complex connections between humans and the environment of the city, while focusing on King’s Cross redevelopment area in London. Drawing on ideas by the French philosopher Henri Lefebvre, and with reference to Bernard Tschumi, the participants in the Cosmopolitan Workshop aimed to describe a
 series of ordinary 'direct actions'as 'rhythmanalysis' of humans, architecture, and space, through the assumption that this not only proposes different readings of spatial function, but also configures ambiguous relationships between 
 
 
 
 “every being, every entity and every body, both living and non-living”. With the support of Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London) and the Architectural Association Schoolof Architecture, the participants attempted to document human actions in everyday life that would expand
 the perception of time in urban space, while strategically examining the city’s perimeter and its relation to urban rhythms and events.
 
 

LORETA analysis of CNV in time perception

The changes that occurred in the perception of time and space in the visual arts in the twentieth century questioned the traditional concept of representation, specifically representation defined as the transfer of an object from real space to illusionary space. Techniques of, for example, collage, montage, emballage, happening, and pastiche allowed the artists to take any number of elements from preexisting works, forms, messages, and to integrate them into an original composition manifesting ruptures of threefold sort. First of all, the new work of art was now believed to be real in itself, a reality that existed in a parallel formation to physical reality.2 Second, the processes of grafting-achieved via an introduction of nonlinear temporality and destabilized spatiality-brought to the fore new relationships between objects, their forms, and their functions in this other reality.3 Third, these

This conceptual paper deals with the role of time in marketing research. It argues that while most theoretical frameworks in marketing implicitly recognize the time element, the temporal dimension is seldom incorporated in marketing models. Marketing is viewed here as a process of exchanging promises to be fulfilled over time. The concept of time is reviewed and the cultural relativity in the perception of time is highlighted. A processual approach addressing the continuous development of relationships in course of time is introduced. This processual perspective is examined in the context of international marketing of projects. Projects are processual by nature as the parties have to commit themselves in advance into relationships that shall exist in the future. The paper adopts an interaction and network approach to examine the processual nature of international marketing. Relationships undergo changes and modifications in time, often creating conditions contrary to the actors' earlier expectations, occasionally even imposing paradoxical situations on them. In turn, this triggers a process of constantly shaping and reshaping the network. Contextual factors such as culture, local conditions and technological aspects also influence such relationships. The paper concludes by identifying areas for further research and emphasizes main managerial implications.
