Cooperation Of Men Research Articles

В.Я. Брюсов, Н.Ф. Федоров и деятели Федоровианы 1900–1920-х годов: вопрос о смысле и целях искусства. Статья первая. О чем спорили Брюсов и Федоров в доме Ю.П. Бартенева

The article is the first part of the study of the problem of spiritual and creative dialogue between the founder of Russian symbolism V.Y. Bryusov and the philosopher of common cause N.F. Fedorov. In the works of Russian and foreign researchers, this dialogue was studied by V.Y. Bryusov, in terms of the poet's interest in cosmic themes, in the context of his theory of scientific poetry. In this study, the focus is on the question of the meaning and purpose of art. For the first time, with the involvement of new, including archival sources, the reaction of N.F. Fedorov to the meeting with V.Ya. Bryusov, held on April 20, 1900 in the house of Yu.P. Bartenev, is considered, it is shown how the ideological dispute that arose during this meeting was reflected in the late work of the philosopher. The content of the dispute and the interrelation of its two themes – the possibility/impossibility of overcoming death and the attitude to the ideas of F. Nietzsche are revealed. Fragments of articles and notes written by N.F. Fedorov, in which his dispute with V.Y. Bryusov is mentioned, are analyzed. N.F. Fedorov's perception of decadence is reconstructed, the philosophical complex of which, as well as the ideas of the new religious consciousness, the philosopher associated with the spiritual crisis of the fin de siècle era, contrasting them with the idea of active Christianity, man's cooperation with God in history. It is shown how N.F. Fedorov's liturgical aesthetics is formed in the polemic with Nietzschean aesthetics and decadence aesthetics, in the center of which is the image of art as an extra-temple liturgy. The relation of N.F. Fedorov to the current of symbolism, to which he opposed the religious understanding of the symbol, is considered.

Implementation of Virtual and Face-to-Face Childbirth Preparation Training for the Spouses of the Primiparous Women to Reduce the Fear of Childbirth, Improve the Pregnancy Experience, and Enhance Mother- and Father-Infant Attachment: Protocol for a Quasiexperimental Clinical Trial.

Background Men have a special role to play in promoting maternal and child health during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum period. The health of women also requires the participation and cooperation of men. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of virtual and face-to-face childbirth preparation training for spouses of the primiparous women on the pregnancy experience, fear of childbirth (FOC), and mother- and father-infant attachment. Methods The primiparous women attending the prenatal clinics of Lolagar Hospital and Azadi and Tehransar health centers of Tehran along with their husbands will be studied. The inclusion criteria for the women's husbands are the first experience of becoming a father, being at least 18 years of age, and the ability to read and write. The exclusion criteria for women's husbands are the history of physical/mental illness; being a smoker; and consuming alcohol, drugs, or psychotropic substances. The participants will be selected by the convenience sampling method and will be divided into three groups of study A, study B, and control. Spouses in study groups A and B will receive childbirth training through virtual and face-to-face methods with similar content, respectively. The control group only receives ordinary prenatal care. At the 18–20 weeks of gestation, demographic information, pregnancy experience scale (PES), and version A of Wijma delivery expectancy/experience questionnaire (WDEQ-A) will be completed. At 37-38 weeks of gestation, the PES and WDEQ-A questionnaires will be completed again and maternal postnatal attachment scale (MPAS) and postnatal paternal-infant attachment questionnaire (PPAQ) will be completed by the parents 12 weeks after the delivery. Discussion. Improving the experience of pregnancy, especially reducing the FOC and creating a positive attitude towards it, is a vital strategy to promote vaginal childbirth and reduce the number of cesarean sections requested by women. Achieving this will reduce the cost of health care and improve the quality of life during pregnancy, after childbirth, and during the growth and development of infants. Ethics and Dissemination. This research has been funded by the Iran University of Medical Sciences, approved by the Thailand Registry of Clinical Trials, and will commence in May 2020. Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and shared with the academic and medical community to pregnancy and childbirth outcomes. This trial is registered with TCTR20200515011.

Bodies under the Law: Feminist Artistic Practice and the Struggle to #Repealthe8th

Bodies under the Law:Feminist Artistic Practice and the Struggle to #Repealthe8th* Sinéad Kennedy (bio) Before the Law stands a door-keeper on guard. To this door-keeper there comes a man from the country who begs for admittance to the Law. But the door-keeper says that he cannot admit the man at the moment. The man, on reflection, asks if he will be allowed, then, to enter later. "It is possible," answers the door-keeper, "but not at this moment." Since the door leading into the Law stands open as usual and the door-keeper steps to one side, the man bends down to peer through the entrance. When the door-keepers sees that, he laughs and says: "If you are so strongly tempted, try to get in without my permission. But note I am powerful. And I am only the lowest doorkeeper. From hall to hall, keepers stand at every door, one more powerful than the other." franz kafka, "before the law" The parable "Before the Law," later incorporated into Franz Kafka's posthumous novel The Trial, has long served as a powerful metaphor for legal scholars exploring the experience of those subject to the forces of institutionalized law. In the parable the supplicant fails to circumvent and defy the gatekeeper; growing old, the man finds himself approaching the end of his life without ever having achieved the access he so desperately seeks. Just before his death the gatekeeper tells him that the doorway was made exclusively for him and that upon his demise the entrance to the law will be closed (Kafka 197). Intentionally enigmatic, the parable illustrates the profound psychological effect of the law by expressing the duality of how its processes can be experienced. Purportedly objective and impartial, the law [End Page 241] remains remote from the daily life of the man experiencing it as he lives without access, unable to gain entry. The parable also reveals the illusory character of Kafka's law, which requires the man's cooperation and deference to sustain its power. Were we to reimagine Kafka's parable with a female protagonist, our understanding of the experience would differ: the law would again exist as a partisan system with only the appearance of objectivity. But more significantly, regendering the parable's perspective would make visible the hidden structures of domination and exploitation, as well as the ideological work of institutional apparatuses, that define the modern capitalist/liberal state. Women's experiences of the law are often characterized by violent intimacy, thereby disclosing the law's embodied consequences and its intersection with institutional and intimate violence. In other words, unlike the male body of Kafka's parable, the female body occupies a space not before the law, but rather under the law—as subject to its domination. Through the prism of three feminist performances—Sarah Browne and Jesse Jones's The Touching Contract (2016), Speaking of IMELDA's Pro-Choice Proclamation (2015), and Jones's Tremble Tremble (2017), this essay argues that a central theme of women's artistic practice in Ireland envisions the female body as a site of resistance, exposing the law as a force that grants and then restricts access to institutional authority through its power of determination and punishment. Ireland's Constitution or framing legal narrative, Bunreacht na hÉireann, haunts such feminist practice as a structuring presence. Each of the three performances explored below offer possibilities for creating new forms of knowledge and resistance, thereby allowing women to move collectively from a position of bodies under the law to bodies against the law and, finally, toward the possibility of bodies beyond the law. Feminist Theory Redefines the "Body Politic" Feminist theorists have long engaged with questions of embodiment as they confront the female body's relationship to the law and the state. They argue that the identification of women with a corrupted conception of corporeal reality has been central to the construction and maintenance of the modern liberal state. Feminists thus challenge [End Page 242] the foundational premises of western political and legal theory and its symbolic focus on the male body by transforming the metaphor of the...

Criminological Study of Domestic Violence in Iran

Violence against women is a common and unfortunate phenomenon whose widespread dimensions cause a lot of personal and social harm to them, family and society. This study was conducted by library method. The study was performed aimed at investigating the violence against women in Iranian society with a criminological approach. Many women have traditionally accepted some violence or are unaware that it is violent because the law does not criminalize it and has the support of custom and religion to legitimize it. In this study, the types of domestic violence and its examples that occur against women and most of them may not even be considered violent were first mentioned. Moreover, legal and criminal laws effective in creating or exacerbating violence against women and the role of common traditions in Iranian culture as well as harmful customs and habits were examined. Women's rights organizations argue that legal weaknesses need to be addressed and eliminated, and that governments should to be encouraged to comply with the law and change inappropriate laws. At lower levels, violence against women must be curbed socially by helping to grow women's NGOs, and thus raising women's awareness of their rights to violence. However, the presence and role of men in eliminating violence against women is essential, and violence cannot be eradicated without the cooperation of men. Men must also be forced to break their silence and enter this arena.Keywords: domestic violence, criminology, domestic violence.

Gender Gap and Bias in the Acquisition and Enforcement of Patents

Broadening the base of players who contribute to innovation is the key to creating and expanding the innovation ecosystem. In an endeavor to increase the contribution of minorities in the IP field (e.g., startups, women inventors, and women entrepreneurs) to innovation, there is an urgent need to mitigate the invisible barriers and create an environment that allows them to demonstrate their capabilities. This paper focuses on women inventors and analyzes the challenges and countermeasures. Although the number of women in science and engineering fields and entrepreneurs is steadily increasing, the number of women inventors is not rising as much as it should be. As a background, it turns out that there is a persistent gender gap in the acquisition and enforcement of patent rights. To broaden women’s activities in the field of intellectual property (IP), the cooperation of men is essential, as opportunities for joint research between men and women are growing. This analysis is based on assumed gender because patent applications do not contain gender information. The advent of more accurate methods for guessing gender information in the IP field will enable more precise analysis.

FEATURES OF THE INFLUENCE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC ON THE FORMATION OF THE PERSONALITY OF CHILDREN

Nowadays the problem of music impact has turned to be more complicated and it has obtained a special meaning since the music perception has become of a massive and day-to-day character in modern society, where the entertaining part of music has got the priority. The positive impact of classical music on children has been proved by scientists who affirm that a certain frequency of classical music acoustic waves affect the children satisfaction centers and facilitate mental activity development. The music impact on versatile progress of personality development are ensured by close interrelation of aesthetic, moral, mental and physical education that can be achieved being provided by the usage of all professional forms of children music activity organization. The article investigates the process of the influence of classical music on the formation of the child's personality at the present stage of the development of science. The problem of music perception psychology through the analyses of one of the types of musical activities legitimacy (music perception that is linked not only with the peculiarities of the music, as it is, its language, but with the deep knowledge about human’s nature, his/her features) has been examined. The aim of the article is to study either positive or negative music impact; to examine the music impact on the process of children’s personality formation; to create the proper picture reflecting the process of music and man cooperation; to find out individual peculiarities and conditions of proper music perception. The some questions of child’s individuality music development have been highlighted. The attempt to examine the alternative methods of the preschoolers’ music education that will have a positive effect on emotional and physical state has been made in the article. The results of the research open a great perspective for further investigation of the music perception and psychological impact as the phenomenon of the dynamic development that has its own structure and the system of determination. Practical significance of the work is that the results of the research can be the base for creation of new effective methods of music therapy impact.

The perpetuation of hegemonic male power and the loss of boyhood innocence: case studies from the music industry

It has been argued by R.W. Connell that gender equality requires the willing co-operation of men and boys. This study of youth masculinity and singing examines the process through which young people are socialised into the norms of the commercial music industry. It is argued that this industry, which is extremely influential on identities and attitudes, remains patriarchal in its power structures. This patriarchy both constrains and shapes the identities of boy performers and perpetuates the construction of females as ‘fodder’ for music that requires little cultural capital for its appreciation. The paper draws on case studies of boy performers aged between 11 and 14, together with survey work in schools of young people who were asked to listen to the commercial CD recordings made by the young performers. It concludes that, from an initial position of innocence, boy singers and their female fans become socialised into a complicit masculinity that unwittingly perpetuates patriarchal hegemony. Connell's aspiration for men and boy's participation in gender equality is rendered an unlikely hope by the power relationships discussed.

Cooperation of Man and Robot Assembly — an Evaluation of an Industrial Flexible Assembly System

In 1986 a totally new concept for flexible automatic assembly cells was launched within the research team “Assembly group”, IVF/KTH, Department of Manufacturing Systems. A prototype, Mark II, was built and tested in the laboratory, and the industrial version, Mark II F, was installed in a company in 1991, where it carried out the automatic assembly of air motors for handheld tools. After five operational years, the system has been evaluated from a technical and human factors point of view. The paper will discuss the whole development process, from the initial conceptual idea spawned by the university research group, to the experiences gathered by management and personnel of the system.

Scientists, Foreign Policy, and Politics

… we must take, so far as we can, a picture of the world into our minds. Is it not a startling circumstance for one thing that the great discoveries of science, that the quiet study of men in laboratories, that the thoughtful developments which have taken place in quiet lecture rooms, have now been turned to the destruction of civilization? … The enemy whom we have just overcome had at its seats of learning some of the principal centres of scientific study and discovery, and used them in order to make destruction sudden and complete; and only the watchful, continuous cooperation of men can see to it that science, as well as armed men, is kept within the harness of civilization.These words were spoken in Paris in January 1919 by Woodrow Wilson, addressing the second Plenary Session of the Peace Conference. Wilson believed he had found a watchdog for civilization in the League of Nations. In this he was sadly mistaken. Science and armed men have indeed been harnessed, but in order to promote and maintain the goals of conflicting polities. Whether in the pursuit of these ends the cause of civilization will yet be served remains, we may hope, an open question.

The Development of the Delta Culture in Hirosima Prefecture

1) The prerent essay has, apart from particular details, aimed to classify from the combined aspects of age and locality the development of land utilization in Hirosima Prefecture as a whole.2) The Inland culture may be described of the ancient-medieval type, the Coast-Insular culture of the medieval-early modern type and the Delta culture of the early modern-modern type, respectively.The first is characteristic of an agricultural civilization highly self-sustaining throngh irrigation facilities. The second developes a commercial character depending on water traffic. The third put together a mdieval marketharbour and an ancient “Kokufu” on the basis of cooperation of man and mature, and give rise to the civilization of a modern city.3) The deltas in Hirosiona, which is scanty of plains, werr born in the early modern period and have grown knots connecting the Setouchi and the inland, owing to the increasing demand of land. They are invested Hirosima with geographical “Standort” as madern cities, and have contributed to the growth of the Prebecture as a whole, absorbing the coast-insular as their parents and the inlands as their grandparents.

Merit and Prayer in the Life of Grace

lVIERIT AND PRAYER IN THE LIFE OF GRACE "'\HE supernatural or the Christian life-there is no supernatural life except in Christ-is essentially the life of grace. Only those Christians fully live up to their name who live in a state of grace. If sinners are still called Christians, it is because they :retain, in spite of their sinful state, some habitual gifts of graces, namely, faith and hope.1 Yet their state is rather one of spiritual death-mortal sin-than of life. What is left in them of grace cannot lead them to the goal of life eternal. But in the just the development of the life of grace is one with growth in grace. And this increase of sanctifying grace, our faith teaches, happens mainly in two ways: by the reception of the sacraments and by good works. Sacramental growth in grace does not perhaps, according to contemporary Thomistic theology of the sacraments, radically differ from the extra-sacramental one, as far as man's subjective disposition or co-operation with grace goes; 2 it does not happen, at any rate, without the subjective co-operation of the recipient ; but we shall not speak of this question here. Both faith and theological tradition maintain that, outside the sacraments , the development of the life of grace in the just follows on man's co-operation with grace in several ways: by way of merit, whether in the strict or in the improper sense of the word, or by way of prayer or impetration. The just are bound and able to keep the commandments, and by so doing they grow in grace.3 They also have to pray and ask for what they cannot have of themselves: St. Augustine, and later Trent, taught 1 Denzinger-Bannwart, Enchiridion Symbolorum 838 (for faith); Summa Theologiae , II-II, q. 6, a. fl; q. 17, a. 8; q. 23, a. 8. 2 Cf. H. Schillebeecks, 0. P., De sacramentele Heileconomie, Antwerp, 1952; especially pp. 621 f. 3 Denzinger, 828, 830, 1092; 834, 842. 446 MERIT AND PRAYER IN THE I~IFE OF GRACE 447 that we must do what we can and ask for what we cannot.~ In our theological treatises on grace, however, the respective roles and places of merit and prayer in the life of grace seem at times ill-defined, if considered at all. And theological opinion differs in regard to what the just can merit in a condign manner and by way of congruous merit." Nor is it always clear what exactly prayer is meant to effect and in what manner.6 Should we pray for what we can merit? What does it mean to impetrate a favor? Is impetration different from congruous merit? The following considerations intend to examine the respective roles of merit and prayer in the life of grace. It lies outside their purpose to examine what is left of grace in sinners and what their prayer or good works can effect. Nor shall we enter into the consideration of the social aspect of the life of grace, of merit and prayer, however important and topical this question may be. These two problems whose treatment would require a lengthy study will only briefly be indicated in appendix I and II. Our present question is this: knowing as we do from our faith that the just are called to grow constantly in grace and that they cannot do so without good works and prayer, what are the roles of merit and impetration in the development of their life of grace? Why are these needed? What are their proper objects? We shall look for the answer to these questions mainly in the teaching of St. Thomas. Our problem, then, concerns the need and role of our effort in the supernatural life. Basic PTinciple: Man, Artisan of His Own Salvation A preliminary question, one whose answer commands the whole subsequent exposition is this: Must man co-operate with grace and why? As is well-known, the answer to this question is what differentiates the Catholic position from that of Protestants. It commands two different ideas of the whole of ' Ibid., 804. 5 Cf. H. Quilliet, "Congruo (de), Condigno...

The Doctrine of Grace in the Spiritual Exercises

^TOT the least attractive side of the formal study of the Spiritual ^ Exercises as an ascetic document is that it can be made the focus of many of the theoretical problems that arise for the student of ascetical theology. From the days of Melchior Cano down to Henri Bremond the Exercises have been a sign of contradiction to many Catholics, who have levelled against them strictures of the greatest diversity, varying in their severity from heretical' to merely ' 'obsolete/' Conversely, apart from official Papal approval, the Exercises have never failed to raise up champions. Rightly regarded as the corporate heritage of a religious order which has always been jealous of its orthodoxy, the Exercises have found apologists from Doctor Ortiz to Brou and Grandmaison and Cavallera. One could, doubtless as a tour de force, write a history of the spiritual trends of the last four centuries against the backdrop of the Exercises. The chief criticisms directed against them stem from those subtle and vexed problems oscillating about the co-operation of man with God in the life of grace. In this problem practice can be as difficult and dangerous as theory*. St. Ignatius has been called by Catholic writers, not necessarily in a pejorative sense, a pragmatism and a voluntarism A mere cursory reading of the Exercises shows that Ignatius did not minimize personal effort and activity, nor shrink from setting down in the book a number of industriae and methods calculated to deploy to their maximum the energies of the human instrument in its co-operation with God. One can list the election, the examen, the methods of prayer, additions and annotations, formulae such as agendo contra/ ' se exercere, id quod volo, a general attitude of control and prevision, etc.—

The Achievement of Co-Operation among Men of Different Creeds

NE of the next tasks in theology is, it seems to me, to clear up the principles of that co-operation of men of different creeds which is required by the common good of temporal society. In this connection we must keep in mind the fact that religious division creates for believers of different denominations a fundamental plurality of points of view. Furthermore, it would be an illusion to seek for the basis and purpose of good fellowship in a common minimum of doctrinal identity-a common mimimum which would be seen gradually to shrink to nothing while we discussed it, like the wild ass's skin in Balzac's story. Yet, on the other hand, it must be noted that this fellowship, based on friendship and charity, should extend, on the level of temporal civilization, to common action (doubtless not free from a certain amount of inevitable opposition and conflict); that it should make possible real co-operation for the good of temporal society. But how can such common action be possible without common principles, without a certain basic community of doctrine? I

Recent Important Literature Regarding the Catholic Church During the Late Renaissance Period, 1500–1648

In evaluating recent literature pertaining to the Catholic Renaissance regard must be taken rather to choice selection than complete coverage; furthermore, the period must be strictly defined, for the number of books that have been written is veritably immense. I shall therefore first of all restrict myself to the late rather than to the early Renaissance, i. e.,roughlyspeaking from the beginning of the Protestant Reformation to the Peace of Westphalia (1500–1648); or to put it in another ecclesiastico-historical way, from the pontificate of Julius II (1503–1513) to Innocent X (1644–1655). I shall further restrict myself to the Catholic controversies arising from, and following in, the immediate wake of Protestantism; reaction taken to the Protestant Reformation by the Catholic or Counter-Reformation, e. g., by the Council of Trent with its re-affirmation and re-definition of traditional Catholic dogmas and practices, with corresponding condemnation of all new teachings opposed to such traditional doctrines; to certain controversies among Catholic scholars occasioned by thecapitulaandcanonesof the Council of Trent, e. g., those referring to the compatibility between the necessity of grace for every supernatural act and the required co-operation of man's free will for a meritorious act (Congregatio de auxiliis gratiae) under Clement VIII and Paul V, etc.

The Mystical Body

In the meandering of mankind through the ages the stream of vitality has flown back and forth from one system of life to its opposite. At present we seem to be in a transitional period when the main stream is sweeping back from individualism to an extreme collectivism. Since the Reformation men have done violence to their social nature by attempting to work out their own salvation independently of others. There were times when this seemed to be the only way of achieving any vital movement, since the alternative of cooperation and corporal unity lay apparently dead among a heap of legalities and impositions from a tyrannous authority. The reign of the individualist, however, though it made many new and valuable conquests, could not endure for long, for of its nature it was doomed to fall to pieces. Now we see a return to co-operation, to the united efforts of many men sharing one ideal. This is glaringly obvious in the dictatorships supported by the enthusiasm of the people, and in the growing solidarity of Communism; but it appears in religious spheres as well, in such movements as those of the Groups or leading to the absurdity of Christian and Jew attempting to find a common religious basis in a symposium entitled “In Spirit and Truth.”Though the true Christianity of the Catholic Church has always been essentially social, it was inevitable that it should have been influenced to some extent by the common outlook on life. The stress was laid on the relations between the individual soul and God, while the idea of brotherhood in Christ, though not forgotten, was put in the background. The return of vitality in other spheres to the sense of fellowship and co-operation of men in society has been the occasion of a revival of interest in the social character of the Church.

COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS OF PHILADELPHIA, SECTION ON OTOLARYNGOLOGY: REPORT OF TWO CASES

THE STANDPOINT OF THE INTERNIST. DR. THOMAS MCCRAE. It is essential to have the cooperation of men in the various departments of medical science in order that a comprehensive grasp of this subject may be had. From the standpoint of medicine, it is well to go back and consider infections of the lower respiratory tract other than tuberculosis. This knowledge was gained gradually, and the development from the otolaryngologic standpoint was also slow. Inhalation must play a part; drainage plays a large part; lymphatic transmission has its importance, and blood transmission is responsible for a very small amount. The changes in the lower respiratory tract due to infection from above are: bronchial infection, and later, lymphatic infection. The infection is acute at first, and there are periods of freedom. With more exacerbations fibrosis occurs in most cases after some years but occasionally developing rapidly. Cough results in emphysema, which increases
