“In Therapy, We are Moving Towards the Permission for Recognition the Significance of Our Peculiarities and Our Uniqueness Before God”

Interview with Anna Sergeevna Yarygina, a psychologist practicing in the modality of transactional analysis, and the wife of an Orthodox Christian priest. Anna Sergeevna grew up in a religious family and now mostly works with religious clients, Orthodox Christians, as she understands and shares their path, the specifics of their growing up and their beliefs. In this interview, Anna Sergeevna talks about her personal observations, about what life script processes and drivers are inherent in Orthodox clients, how a therapeutic alliance is built, and what difficulties may arise in such work.

Satisfaction With Life and Psychological Well-Being in TA Trainees

This empirical study was undertaken to examine the effect of long-term transactional analysis (TA) training on satisfaction with life and psychological well-being scores of TA trainees. For data collection, the research team used the 5-item Satisfaction With Life (SWL) scale developed by Diener et al. and a 20-item Psychological Well-Being (PWB) questionnaire developed by Mehrotra et al. especially to suit the Indian cultural context. Responses were collected from 200 individuals segregated equally into an experimental and a control group. Results indicate that those who have undergone TA training scored higher on the SWL scale and the PWB questionnaire. Senior trainees scored higher than junior or beginner trainees on both the SWL and the PWB. A plateauing effect on SWL scores was observed after 30 months of training whereas no such plateauing was observed for PWB scores. This study suggests that TA training is positively associated with life satisfaction and psychological well-being of the trainees.

In These Dark Times: Exploring Our Values as Transactional Analysts

This essay addresses personal and professional values underlying (but not necessarily consciously articulated) how we practice and what we define as healthy outcomes for our efforts as transactional analysts. It is an invitation to consider the importance of a professional culture of curiosity and respect, one that can welcome and make use of difference and conflict, stressing the need for the elaboration of theories and values that actively attend to social and political forces that shape beliefs and behaviors. Central to this essay is a critique of the incorporation of “I’m OK, You’re OK” as a central value of transactional analysis.

Kebijakan Redesain Sistem Perencanaan Dan Penganggaran: Implementasi Pada Pusat Pelaporan Dan Analisis Transaksi Keuangan

Government budgeting system reform policies or in Indonesia call “Redesain Sistem Perencanaan dan Penganggaran” (RSPP) is a system initiated by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of National Development Planning that is effective for all ministries and institutions in 2021. RSPP aims to be a real implementation of the money follow program policy and strengthen the application of performance-based budgeting. This research aims to analyse the implementation of RSPP, along with its constraints and impacts. This research used a qualitative research method using a case study approach by interviewing 4 informants. This research was conducted at one of the state institutions, namely the Indonesian Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (INTRAC). Data collection is carried out in a natural setting, primary data sources, and data collection techniques are more on direct observation, and interviews. From the analysis conducted by researchers, the implementation of INTRAC budgeting in 2023, which was carried out in 2022, is in accordance with the RSPP based on the Joint Circular Letter of the Minister of Finance and the Ministry of National Development Planning. This has an impact on budget documents that are easier to understand, and more visible activities and outputs produced by INTRAC. RSPP makes it easier for leaders to carry out monitoring, evaluation and increase effectiveness and efficiency in government budgeting.

Relationship between Profitability Indicators and Maximization Market Value A dded a nd I ntr insic for the I ndustr ial Companies

Purpose: This research aims to study the impact of profitability indicators on maximizing the market value added and intrinsic value for industrial companies listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange. Design/methodology/approach: The research was structured using the analysis study method, incorporating various financial indicators, such as Net Profit Margin, Basic Earning Power, Return on Assets, Return on Equity, to examine their impact on market value added and intrinsic value. Findings: The researchers utilized financial data form fourteen industrial companies operating in Iraq ; listed in the financial market, spanning the period from 2011 to 2022. The data underwent analysis employing financial methods and various statistical tools, including single and multiple regression analysis as well as transaction analysis. The results revealed that the profitability indicators adopted by the studied companies exerted varied effects on maximizing the market value or intrinsic value. This variance was observed in accordance with the nature and orientations of each company. The underlying reason for this variation can be attributed to the direct relationship of the financial indicators used directly with the investors, thereby influencing management decisions. Research limitations/implications: The paper focuses on four variables representatives of firm profitability indicators to maximize both the market value added and the intrinsic value; it is necessary expanding the independent variables. Originality/value: This research contributes to the literature on Maximizing value levels for industrial companies. It aids firm leaders and decision-makers understanding the significant role of profitability indicators in maximizing value in financial markets by offering a more comprehensive view of their effectiveness.

Nurul Kawakib and patients as research subjects, in the process of data collection techniques researchers conducted several stages including: interviews, observation and documentation. From the research results obtained by researchers shows that in the implementation of H. Nurul Kawakib's preaching in the Practice of Operation Against Patients with Spiritual Approach as a Holistic Process Therapy is the implementation of the preaching of a doctor who always invites everyone to always apply the principle of faith in Allah Almighty (hablumminannans) at all times , both when healthy and sick. And also hablumminannas (the attitude of the behavior of a surgeon who has a noble character).

National Estimates of Incremental Work Absenteeism Costs Associated With Adult Children of Parents With Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias

ObjectiveMore than half of primary caregivers for ADRD patients are adult children, yet there is little empirical evidence on how caring for parents with ADRD affects their employment. Using a nationally representative dataset, this study aimed to estimate incremental work absenteeism costs for adult children of parents with ADRD. Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThe study used the data from the 2015–2021 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). Multivariate regressions and two-part models were employed to estimate the incremental work absenteeism costs among adult children aged 40 to 64 who had at least one parent diagnosed with ADRD, compared with those who did not have ADRD parents. MeasurementsThe incremental work absenteeism costs due to caregiving for adult children with ADRD parents was a cumulated estimation of labor productivity cost at three stages: (1) the likelihood of not working due to unemployment, (2) the likelihood of missing any workdays for caregiving, and (3) the number of workdays missed due to caregiving. ResultsAdult children with ADRD parents were more likely to be unemployed (OR = 1.80, p = 0.024) and 2.95 times more likely to miss work for caregiving (p = 0.002) than those with non-ADRD parents. The difference in the number of workdays missed for caregiving between children with and without ADRD parents was not significant. The incremental effects of having ADRD parents were estimated to be $4,510.29 ($1,702.09–$6,723.69) per person per year. ConclusionsHaving ADRD parents significantly increases the chances of unemployment and missing any workdays for caregiving, leading to higher lost labor productivity costs for adult children with ADRD parents.

D4GW: DTLS for gateway multiplexed application to secure MQTT(SN)-based pub/sub architecture

MQTT-SN a pub/sub application layer protocol is a well-established protocol in the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. MQTT-SN gateway application is available as an open-source contribution. Since the gateway receives unencrypted UDP traffic from sensor nodes and translates it to MQTT packets to be forwarded to the MQTT Broker, the first hop always remains vulnerable to potential cyber–physical attacks. This paper identifies potential threats to the current MQTT-SN gateway and provides security while remaining concurrent. We propose a secure gateway application, SecGW, that achieves concurrency while remaining as robust to vulnerabilities as a single BIOS. The performance of SecGW is evaluated by measuring system scalability, resilience, processing delay, and consumed power through the analysis of payload transactions and their types. The evaluation has been carried out on a low-powered IoT testbed. The results of the experimental setup show satisfactorily linear scalability of memory, fairly consistent delays, and an insignificant increase in security-attributable power consumption for an increasing number of connected clients. The packet-level analysis of traffic in an experimental setup demonstrates the resilience of SecGW through stage-wise identification and isolation of misbehaving clients.

Decentralized Exchange Transaction Analysis and Maximal Extractable Value Attack Identification: Focusing on Uniswap USDC3

With the advancement of blockchain technology and growing concerns about the vulnerabilities and mistrust in centralized financial services, decentralized finance (DeFi) and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have emerged as promising alternatives. This paper delves into the challenges and issues within DeFi, with a particular focus on Uniswap. We highlight the susceptibility to Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) attacks, providing a background on the current state of DeFi and DEXs. Our approach includes a detailed transaction analysis on Uniswap to identify and analyze MEV attack patterns, alongside a method for detecting bots. The results offer critical insights into the nature of various attacks in DEXs and the correlation between internal and external blockchain events and MEV attack patterns. This research provides valuable guidelines for enhancing DEX security and mitigating MEV risks, serving as an essential resource for stakeholders in the DeFi ecosystem.

Non-family Living Arrangements Among Young Adults in the United States

The share of young adults living in married-couple family households in the USA has declined in recent decades. Research on alternative living arrangements focuses on cohabitation among unmarried couples and parent–adult child coresidence. Less is known about trends in non-family living arrangements and the characteristics of young adults living with non-relatives. This study documents trends over time in non-family living arrangements among young adults in the USA and examines the sociodemographic profile of those living with non-relatives. Using pooled US Census and American Community Survey microdata from 1990 to 2019, the authors document age patterns in non-family living arrangements over time and use logistic regression to estimate the likelihood of living with non-family based on individual-level characteristics. Results indicate that non-family living among young adults has increased over time, and that the arrangement is associated with markers of both advantage and disadvantage. Differences across age groups explain some of these mixed results. Trends among younger groups are linked to socioeconomic patterns around family formation. Among older groups, the demographic and labor force characteristics of the foreign born and constraints of their kin availability may be driving trends. The exploratory analysis provides relevant evidence around an increasingly common living arrangement in the USA and also identifies several areas for future research on living arrangements among young adults and the implications of these trends.

The Neocolonial Structural Model Re-Foundation and The Pragmatic Inference of Organizational Culture in Ngugi Wa Thiongo’s Devil on The Cross (1980)

Through the frame frequency of the imported state and the westernization of the African political order, the social construction of the African bureaucracy appears as a structural device of abstraction, exploitation, and brutality. Then, through the frame of reference with the importation of conceptual juridical coordination and perceptual representative consensus, the African public administration enhances a frameshift transformation and a succession of causality. Therefore, in combinatorial and transactional analysis, the framework of Devil On The Cross progresses in a method of empirical processing decomposition. Within this respect, the elemental and pure imaginary of the African administration proceeds as a functional derivative governmentality and a colonial functional inception power. Subsequently, with its interaction design, processing system, and volume technique, the realm of Devil On The Cross inserts a paradigmatic analysis and a value engineering within which this African administration happens as an characteristic structural formula and an inefficient relational frame theory. Moreover, within the space-time continuum, the configuration management and the linear configuration programming of the African management apparatus, Devil On The Cross becomes a holomorphic function and an analytic continuation that reveal the anachronism nature and the asynchronous system of the African post-colonial administration.

사회네트워크분석을 활용한 시군구 간 부동산 거래 분석

This study analyzes the characteristics of real estate transactions from 2017 to 2022, distinguishing between transactions within the region(si, gun, gu), adjacent regions, and non-adjacent regions. It uses social network analysis methods to derive the characteristics of the network and the actors (si. gun, gu). The research results show that about 50~55% of the collective building transactions occur within the region, about 15% between adjacent regions, and about 30% between non-adjacent regions. As a result of analyzing transactions between non-adjacent regions through a network approach, most regions belong to one real estate transaction network centered on the metropolitan area, and many regions can influence each other in real estate transactions. The significance of this study lies in presenting a new approach to real estate transactions by analyzing real estate transactions between cities and counties in Korea through a social network approach, and deriving policy implications through this.

Value Co-Creation and Co-Destruction Through Adult Child–Parent Interactions During Family Vacations: Scale Development and Validation

Although numerous benefits of family vacations have been recognized, the value of family interactions during tourism activities remains under-explored in the literature. Through a series of dual-perspective studies using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, this research developed and validated two multidimensional datasets to measure value co-creation and co-destruction from the perspectives of adult children and their parents on family vacations. The results demonstrate that interactions between adult children and their parents may lead to co-created and co-destructed value, and that children and parents perceive interactive value structures differently. The research also identified two antecedents (family role clarity and prior knowledge) and one consequence (overall experience evaluation) of value co-creation and co-destruction. By developing and validating an effective dual scale for assessing value co-creation and co-destruction through adult child-parent interactions during family vacations, this study advances research on family travel and provides practical evidence that help improve the family travel experience.

Parent - Young Adult Relationship with Self-esteem among Undergraduate Students

Worldwide, there are over 1.8 billion young people living today and 90 % of who live in developing countries1. Parent–child relationships are central to psychological development and several studies have shown that suboptimal parenting is an important risk factor for psychological disorder in clinical and representative community samples.2 This study is an insight to know the Parent - Young Adult Relationship in the current generation of young adult and its impact on Self - esteem. Research results carried out on this topic suggest & promote Parents and Young Adult to have a better relationship. The aim of the study was to correlate relationship between Parent - Young Adult with Self-esteem among undergraduate students in selected college at Puducherry. Methods: A Quantitative Descriptive Research Design was used to assess the correlation between Parent - Young Adult Relationship with Self-esteem among undergraduate students in selected college at Puducherry. After taking a written consent, both male and female (117) undergraduate students (18 - 21 years) were selected using Simple Random Sampling Technique. The Parent - Young Adult Relationship among undergraduate students was assessed by Parent Adult Child Relationship Questionnaire (PACQ) and level of Self esteem was assessed by Rosenberg's Self - esteem Scale. The data was analyzed by using frequency, percentage, mean and Standard Deviation. Correlate the relationship between Parent - Young Adult Relationship and Self – esteem was analyzed by using Pearson’s correlation coefficient test. The association between the demographic variables between Parent - Young Adult Relationship and Self – esteem was analyzed by using Fisher’s exact test Result: The results show the correlation between Parent - Young Adult Relationship with Self-esteem among 117 undergraduate students. The mean self esteem score was 19.26 ± 3.791 and it ranged from 6 to 29. The level of self - esteem among nursing college students was normal, high and low, for 88.0%, 5.1% and 6.9%, respectively. There was a weak negative correlation observed between Parent - Young Adult relationship (Father) with Self - esteem in control aspect which implies greater the control by father lower the Self - esteem of the students. There was no statistically significant correlation was observed between Parent-Young Adult Relationship (Mother) with self -esteem at the significance level of p>0.05. Statistically significant association was found between Parent-Young Adult Relationship (Father - Regard) with gender, (Father -control) with Occupation, (Father - Responsibility) with feels more attached. Statistically significant association was noted between Parent-Young Adult Relationship (Mother - Responsibility) with year of studying implying B.Sc (N) - II Year and with area of residence, (Mother - Regard) with time spent every day (1-2 hours). Borderline statistically significant association was found in (Father - Control) with feels more attached & area of residence and (Mother - Responsibility) with Occupation. Conclusion: The findings of the study reflect that the Undergraduate relationship with both of their parents and majority Undergraduate students had normal self - esteem. The way parents raise their children influences the development of their self-esteem. Stronger relationship with parents boosts the self-esteem level in an individual. The study participants get benefited by participating in the study. Conducting this research in another society and with a greater sample size and in different setting may generate different results.

Perceptions of the teacher–student relationship climate and the development of academic motivation in high school: a transactional analysis

High school teachers often struggle to engage students who have little or no motivation to learn. We argue that improving students’ perceptions of affective relationships with teachers may have the potential to positively influence their motivation, and vice versa. This study looks at reciprocal associations between students’ perceptions of the teacher–student relationship climate (PTSRC) and three components of academic motivation (autonomous, controlled, and amotivation), measured at two time points, over a 12–month period. We recruited 328 students (on average 15 years of age, 65% girls) from public high schools in disadvantaged areas of a Canadian suburb. We found that students’ autonomous motivation predicted an increase in positive PTSRC. In contrast, we did not find evidence that PTSRC predicted either autonomous or controlled motivation. Nonetheless, a positive PTSRC predicted a decrease in students’ amotivation. This finding suggests that high school students’ positive PTSRC can help them find purpose in their schooling. Knowing that motivation typically declines during the high school years, this study is important because it suggests that promoting positive teacher–student relationships can contribute to ward off such decline.

Intergenerational transmission of moral decision‐making inclinations

AbstractObjectiveThis study investigated the intergenerational transmission of utilitarian and deontological inclinations, examining whether these pass from parents to adult children and exploring the potential moderating effects of parenting style and intergenerational involvement in this process.BackgroundFamily factors, including religious norms and work values, influence moral development, but the intergenerational transmission of two moral inclinations—utilitarianism (emphasizing consequences, e.g., sacrificing one person to save five) and deontology (emphasizing intrinsic norms, e.g., refraining from intentionally harming the innocent)—remains underexplored.MethodWe measured these inclinations in 171 parent–adult child pairs using a moral decision thought experiment and questionnaires on parenting style and intergenerational involvement.ResultsPositive correlations emerged between parents and adult children for both inclinations. “Emotional warmth” in parenting style and intergenerational involvement showed significant negative moderating effects on the transmission of utilitarianism between generations.ConclusionThis study provides empirical evidence of intergenerational transmission of moral inclinations. Higher emotional warmth and increased intergenerational involvement inhibit the transmission of utilitarian inclinations, leading to reduced prioritization of better consequences.ImplicationsEnhanced emotional warmth and greater intergenerational involvement by parents can deter the transmission of utilitarian inclinations among adult children, prioritizing adherence to intrinsic norms over intentional harm for greater benefits.

PERAN REGULASI TEKNOLOGI DAN KARYAWAN BANK UNTUK MENCEGAH TINDAK PENCUCIAN UANG DI BANK

Banks, commonly utilized as financial institutions, are often implicated in money laundering activities. The majority of these institutions report suspicious transactions to the Indonesian Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK). This study seeks to assess the influence of implementing regulatory technology (regtech) and the involvement of Anti Money Laundering (AML) officers in preventing money laundering within a bank. Employing explanatory research to test hypotheses, the primary data collection involved a questionnaire distributed to 689 AML officers in Indonesia, with a 42.9% response rate from 296 participants. Multivariate analysis results indicate that electronic know-your-customer (KYC) lacks significance in preventing money laundering. Conversely, transaction monitoring, along with considerations of cost and time, demonstrates a positive and significant impact on thwarting money laundering. Additionally, there is a notable positive effect between bankers' competency and awareness in preventing money laundering. Both Regulatory Technology and bankers play crucial roles in averting money laundering. Notably, research concerning technology and bankers in the context of money laundering prevention remains limited in Indonesia. This study contributes valuable insights to existing literature on anti-money laundering and the progression of anti-money laundering systems.

Continuous versus changeable: transitions in older parents–adult children relationships in Chinese families

Abstract The traditional model of family relationships is undergoing significant changes in contemporary China. Nevertheless, little research has delved into the dynamic evolution of intergenerational relationships. To address this research gap, we utilise data from the Chinese Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS) conducted between 2016 and 2018 (N = 7,009) to analyse the transitions in intergenerational relationships over a two-year period, alongside the predictive factors. Employing Latent Transition Analysis, we unveil three distinct typologies: ‘Tight-Knit’, ‘Intimate-Distant’ and ‘Ambivalent-Distant’, which undergo changes over time. Our study captures the tendency of the integration of tradition and modernity within intergenerational relationship patterns in China, as well as the intricate dynamics of these relationships. Furthermore, we identify the predictive roles of age, gender, household registration, health conditions, life events, family composition and filial piety on relationship transitions. This study expands upon previous typological research on intergenerational relationships and enriches our comprehension of their intricate and dynamic nature.

ПСИХОЛОГИЧЕСКИЙ ПОДХОД К ИСПРАВЛЕНИЮ ОСУЖДЕННЫХ СРЕДИ ДРУГИХ НАУЧНЫХ ПОДХОДОВ

The article outlines the main scientific approaches to the correction of convicts in the works of domestic and foreign scientists. The results of solving two research problems are presented. In accordance with the first of them, the analysis of various interpretations of the concept of “correction” in relation to a convicted person for a committed crime, existing within the framework of philosophical, legal, pedagogical and medical approaches, is given. Approaches to the correction of convicts are considered in the development of the views of representatives of these sciences, their distinctive features are shown in the interpretation of factors, causes and conditions affecting the formation and development of qualities and personality traits of the convicted person, which prevent them from committing new crimes. In the course of solving the second task, a characteristic of the psychological approach to the correction of the convict is given. In this regard, the possibilities of using methods of psychoanalysis, behaviorist and humanistic approaches, transactional analysis and gestalt therapy in psychological work on the correction of convicts are analyzed.
