“Asia-Pacific Dream” – Chinese Regional Integration Project

In the 21st century, China has significantly strengthened its role in world historical processes. In 40 years of reform and openness, China has not only become a world leader in economic development, it has also become an active player in the world political arena. China began to show greater interest in world development and at the same time began to actively integrate into the world community, seeking to prove the global benefits of cooperation with China. The Chinese leadership believes that China cannot stand aside from world processes and, like the rest of the world, be held hostage to the policies of other countries and bear the brunt of all the negative consequences of such policies. As a result, it was taken a course for active integration with the world community and strengthening China’s participation and influence in world processes. For this purpose, several strategic strategies have been developed to achieve a specific goal, including “going abroad”, “globalizing”, “internationalizing” and others. At the same time, the strengthening of integration processes in the world could not leave the country’s leadership indifferent, so China began to pay more attention to participation in both global and regional integration processes. One such area was China’s accession to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in 1991. These areas have identified three key aspects of the Asia-Pacific Dream concept: development and economic cohesion, the unification of Asia with an emphasis on harmony, mutual benefit and prosperity in the region. The China Asia-Pacific Dream initiative aims to maintain stable and friendly partnerships with neighboring countries in order to build mutual trust. China has identified a number of common challenges that the parties must address in order to build an Asian community. China hopes to work with its partners to create a beautiful region that will lead the world, benefit all parties and bring prosperity to future generations. In this context, the Chinese leadership has identified a number of areas for development for the Asia-Pacific region.

Exploring and developing the concept of the dream as a threat monitoring-alerting mechanism

Summary. It is not clear that established dream theories adequately explain the purpose of something that accounts for such a substantial percentage of our time. Gewargis’s innovative theory - that dreams function to safeguard the organism during sleep - seems plausible and to have the potential to make an important contribution to a better understanding of why we dream. There are, however, a number of possible problems with it. In particular, the published literature is not used to substantiate the empirical claims upon which the theory is built; and this could be a major issue, as a some of these claims seem to be at variance with current scientific knowledge and/or to have limited face validity. This comment article draws upon the neurology literature to critique and suggest amendments to Gewargis’s theory; and proposes additional hypotheses relating to why and how dreams might act as a monitoring-alerting mechanism and protect the sleeper from a range of internal and external perturbations during REM and NREM sleep; and not just, as Gewargis appears to suggest, guard against inadequate blood flow to the brain or “oxygen-deprivation” to the lungs during REM sleep. A central argument in this comment piece is that to perform a range of functions, such as memory processing, the dream is where the sleeper’s consciousness is focused for much of the time asleep, and so it is also where the alerting-arousal messages need to be presented and processed during that time. In other words, and at variance with what Gewargis proposed, we don’t dream so as to provide a sleep defence mechanism, but a Dream Sleep-Defence Mechanism (DSDM) is needed because we dream. It addition, it argued that dreams - including through the use of broad categories (and, in particular, potential danger/not potential danger), rather than representational reflections of the reality in question - provide a cortical resource efficient mechanism. It is recognised, however, that support for a dream sleep defence mechanism is at best circumstantial and that the idea needs to be tested in experimental studies if it is to move beyond conjecture.

Американская мечта и супергерой в комикс-культуре золотого века

The paper shows how the American dream concept is represented in a superhero’s image of the Golden Age of the American comics culture. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that for the first time in domestic and foreign historical science, the authors analyse interrelation of the Ameri-can dream concept and a superhero’s image in comics culture of the mentioned period. The research fin-dings are as follows: the authors prove that a superhero’s image represents the American national values and components of national identity that are an integral part of the American dream concept.

Konsep “Entrepreneur’s Dream” pada Desain Interior Inkubator Bisnis dan Teknologi Universitas Kristen Petra

The interior design of the Petra Christian University Business and Technology Incubator aims to provide a forum for the people of East Java, especially start-up companies, students, lecturers and the outside community to start their start-ups and to develop the creative economy in East Java. The current interior of IBT Petra still uses former classrooms. So that it still does not accommodate the activities and needs of its users to work optimally and creatively. In order to solve the problem formulation, the Design Thinking 101 method is used, which consists of 3 main stages, namely Understand (Collecting and Analyzing Data), Explore (Looking for ideas for problem solving) and Materialize (Testing and developing designs). Then an IBT interior design was produced with the concept of Entrepreneur's Dream, which applies the vision, mission and goals of a startup, namely innovative, grow, caring, global into its interior design that can help realize the vision and mission. The resulting scope includes creative co-working space, exhibition space, store, office, event space, makerspace and café.

Differentiating Oneiric Stupor in Agrypnia Excitata From Dreaming Disorders

Oneiric Stupor (OS) in Agrypnia Excitata represents a peculiar condition characterized by the recurrence of stereotyped gestures such as mimicking daily-life activities associated with the reporting of a dream mentation consisting in a single oneiric scene. It arises in the context of a completely disorganized sleep structure lacking any physiological cyclic organization, thus, going beyond the concept of abnormal dream. However, a proper differential diagnosis of OS, in the complex world of the “disorders of dreaming” can become quite challenging. The aim of this review is to provide useful clinical and videopolygraphic data on OS to differentiate it from other dreaming disorders. Each entity will be clinically evaluated among the areas of dream mentation and abnormal sleep behaviors and its polygraphic features will be analyzed and distinguished from OS.

Louiz Zamperini's American Dreams as Reflected in the Film Unbroken

In this undergraduate thesis describes about American dream and motivation theory. This is aiming at analyzing motivation’s role in human life to fulfill their needs by focusing to the main character. The concept of American dream can be seen in Louis Zamperini as the main character of this film in principle of life. Hence, this undergraduate thesis has two main objectives to describe the Louis Zamperini’s dreams and to analyze Louis Zamperini’s motivation in his survival as the prisoner of Japan as reflected in the film Unbroken.This research is under a descriptive qualitative method. Therefore, library research is used for compiling both primary data and secondary data. The primary data is adopted from the film, meanwhile the secondary data refer to some sources, such as books, journals, articles, and on-line data from internet. Method of American studies as an interdisciplinary approach is also applied along with theories to analyze the problem formulation in this research. After the data are collected, they are analyzed by using the psychological study approach, and focuses on theory Hierarchy Needs of Abraham Maslow. Maslow’s theory explained the description of motivation based on needs. The hierarchy dividing to physiological needs, safety needs, love needs, esteem needs, and needs for self-actualization. Then, the writer uses American dream concept such as the dream of good life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.The results of this research, the researcher found that Louis Zamperini as the main character what he did in life, there is a motivation that supports him to reach his dream like other immigrants who came to America using this concept in general. The American dream and motivation are still adopted in some American films as popular culture. Hence, it proves that American dream still exists with different style like media of film.

A WAVE OF DREAMS: DREAM SOURCE PICTURES IN PLASTIC ARTS

The origin of the art work can be based on many places. It is seen that dreams also constitute an important resource for artists by inspiring many works. In this article, dream-themed works of artists from different periods and styles are analyzed. In the study, Giotto di Bondone, Nicolas Dipre, Georges de La Tour, Henry Fuseli, Francisco de Goya, Jean Jules Antoine Lecomte du Nouy, William Blake, Utagawa Toyokuni, Pierre-Cécile Puvis de Chavannes, Odilon Redon, Henri Rousseau, Salvador Dali , Henry Matisse and Frida Kahlo's dream concept works were evaluated. While evaluating the works, the sources of the dream-themed works were searched. It has been determined that the works originate from religious, psychological, literary and cultural influences. Artists have revealed the phenomenon of dream by blending it with the plastic of the painting within their own period features and original sensitivities. The concept of dream and its effect in terms of creating plastic language were examined within the data obtained by literature review and qualitative research methods. The findings obtained are important as they will contribute to the art world and shed light on the period.

American Dream or Avaratia: Critical Circumspectis of American Dream Through Ages

This paper is an attempt to apply Jacques Derrida’s theory of Deconstruction to American Dream and its treatment in the language of Edward Albee’s play American Dream and other American Playwrights. Different deconstructive terms have been applied to understand and analyze the language of Albee’s The American Dream. Deconstructive terms; Différance, Erasure and Aporia have been applied to the language used by Albee to analyze the concept of American dream and its relation to its context of old American Dream as envisaged by the founding fathers and the new American Dream as defined by James Truslow Adams. These deconstructive terms will help readers to understand the themes and language of postmodern and post war American drama in general and those of Albee’s in particular. This, in turn, makes the reader realize that American dream as depicted in modern American Playwrights is materialistic, illogical, futile and bizarre: Albee’s play reflects modern American society and its sensibility. Language of modern is simple yet it communicates multi-faceted interpretations and those interpretations have been explored in the light of all these deconstructive terms. The basic purpose of involving these deconstructive terms in analyzing the language of Albee’s The American Dream and the other major postmodern American plays is not only to understand the mutability and fluidity in the diction but also to expose absurdity and apparent meaninglessness in it.

Validity and Reliability the Persian adaption of Mannheim Dream questionnaire (MADRE)

We conducted this study to assess the validity and reliability of the Persian version of Mannheim Dream (MADRE) questionnaire. The study population included students of School of Psychology, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran, who were selected randomly through the convenience sampling method. Reliability of the tool was evaluated by test–retest and Cronbach’s alpha methods. The Persian scale demonstrated good test-retest reliability (69%), and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the whole questionnaire was calculated at 0.85. Overall, 24 items with high reliability were retained from the final version of the questionnaire. Based on factor analysis, the following six factors emerged: concept of dream, effects of dreams on waking life, timing, experience and feelings, childhood memories, and articles and entries available. Our findings indicated that the Persian version of the MADRE questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument.

O estetyce psychologii głębi. Gastona Bachelarda teoria marzenia poetyckiego

Gaston Bachelard’s concept of dream is analysed in the paper. The main aim of the article is to show a strong dependence of his theory of dream on Freud’s and Jung’s depth psychology. In order to prove this conclusion, a historical comparative analysis was undertaken of the theoretical relationship between psychoanalysis and Bachelard’s phenomenological theory of poetic dream.

'Dreams are such stuff as we are made on‘ • Eine Bemerkung zum Realismus antiker Traumauffassung und seinem Nachleben*

In this paper I scrutinize the origin of the concept of dreams influenced by mens’ daylightexperience. To this end I showcase some texts from Hellenistic literature until English Renaissance which to my mind can be brought into connection with each other in terms of realism of dream-vision. By looking on the common traits one can arrive at the conclusion that the dream-realism is a concept which first became popular in the Hellenism and it was from there that it took its long way through ages.

The Concept of Dreams and Dreaming: A Hindu Perspective

The present paper presents Hindu approaches to dreams. In the west there are numerous concepts, theories, schools and information with regard to dreams. Hindu concepts about and approaches to dreams, though, are relatively untouched and unexplored and are thus largely unknown to westerners. The main concept of dreams and dreaming is closely linked to Hindu philosophy, mythology, and ancient writings such as the Puranas, Vedas, Upanishads, and so on. The major essence of the eternal self (atman), the seven fold classification of dreams and dreaming, dreams associated with the sex of the unborn child and human nature (“prakriti”) as based on the ayurvedic personality temperament theory (“tridosha”) form the major Hindu concepts of dreams. These are presented and discussed in this paper.

¬Peirce’s Creative Hallucinations in the Ontogeny of Abductive Reasoning

This inquiry proposes that Peirce’s ultimate concept of dreams, which can be sub-divided in seven different functions, supply the raw material for habit-change inherent in every plausible inference. With references to developmental literature, I propose that dreams represent an outlet whereby children rely upon vivid directional icons of events (virtual habits) in reconciling logical anomalies provoked by unexpected happenings. Accordingly, dreams supply insights into how potential happenings materialize – identifying which factors can enhance/enrich the effectiveness of potential event outcomes. Dreams of this creative kind are not obsessional or socially driven but rather form the bedrock for conceiving of many meritorious insights, as shown in phenomena like children’s prelinguistic habits, word substitutions, overextensions, role-play and perspective taking.

Dreams, aspirations and related constructs in children and adolescents: a literature review

AbstractAlthough children and adolescents are often asked about their “dreams” about life, scientific studies of “dreams” and related constructs are grossly inadequate. This paper describes the findings arising from a review study exploring the concepts of dreams, aspirations and related constructs in children and adolescents. Besides an overview of the concept of dream, conceptual features and unique underpinnings of other concepts commonly related to dream, such as “aspirations”, “hope”, “future orientation” and “resilience” are presented in this paper. The research questions surrounding “dream” and related constructs in children and adolescents are presented and future research directions are discussed.

Sosa y los sueños

<p class='p1'>Este trabajo plantea dos asuntos a propósito del modelo alternativo que expone Ernesto Sosa en “Los sueños”. El primero es que, dado el modelo de soñar como imaginar/narrar, no está claro por qué surge todavía el escepticismo del sueño: si el sueño a fin de cuentas no compite epistémicamente con la vigilia, entonces el sueño no parece amenazar el crédito que ordinariamente damos a nuestras experiencias en vigilia. El segundo es que, en contraste con el modelo tradicional, el modelo de soñar como narrativa de ficción omite un rasgo importante de nuestro concepto del sueño, a saber, que en sueños tenemos experiencias y, a menudo, creencias.</p>

Dreaming: a conceptual framework for philosophy of mind and empirical research

Dreams, conceived as conscious experience or phenomenal states during sleep, offer an important contrast condition for theories of consciousness and the self. Yet, although there is a wealth of empirical research on sleep and dreaming, its potential contribution to consciousness research and philosophy of mind is largely overlooked. This might be due, in part, to a lack of conceptual clarity and an underlying disagreement about the nature of the phenomenon of dreaming itself. In Dreaming, Jennifer Windt lays the groundwork for solving this problem. She develops a conceptual framework describing not only what it means to say that dreams are conscious experiences but also how to locate dreams relative to such concepts as perception, hallucination, and imagination, as well as thinking, knowledge, belief, deception, and self-consciousness. Arguing that a conceptual framework must be not only conceptually sound but also phenomenologically plausible and carefully informed by neuroscientific research, Windt integrates her review of philosophical work on dreaming, both historical and contemporary, with a survey of the most important empirical findings. This allows her to work toward a systematic and comprehensive new theoretical understanding of dreaming informed by a critical reading of contemporary research findings. Windt's account demonstrates that a philosophical analysis of the concept of dreaming can provide an important enrichment and extension to the conceptual repertoire of discussions of consciousness and the self and raises new questions for future research.
