МИФОПОЭТИКА ВИНА КАК ИМАГИНАТИВНЫЙ АБСОЛЮТ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКОГО БЫТИЯ

the article introduces a new concept at the intersection of philosophy, aesthetics, literary criticism, history, oenology and branding: mythopoetics. Mythopoetics of wine is understood as a special method of wine analytics that takes the perception of wine beyond the narrow classification of color, bouquet and taste with elements of terroir into the area of image formation: the harmony of historical fact, myth, terroir, poetry, symbol, which are quintessed in a certain wine brand. The article is a continuation of the efforts of José Ortega y Gasset, Massimo Dona, Eric Asimov, Rauf and Alexei Akchurinov in creating an approach to the philosophical understanding of wine. Wine is defined as an essential element of human intellectual and emotional life, firmly embedded in religious practices, secular culture and various genres of art. An important fact is the strong incorporation of wine into the economic structure, especially in the great wine regions of France, Italy, Spain, and Germany: from wine tastings and wine tours to the formation of a solid segment of the alcohol market in the wholesale and retail trade networks. Mythopoetics of wine allows creating its legendarium, project myths about life and death, beauty and ugliness, harmony and chaos onto a specific brand of wine, form the image of a particular wine producer, enhancing the tasting value of wine, increasing interest in thecourtliness of drinking wine, stimulating the tourist development of various regions, bringing the topic of wine to the level of the most pressing problems for interdisciplinary research, both in the field of fundamental knowledge and at the level of applied results.

Overview of Research on Dyslexia Assessment and Identification in China

Dyslexia can affect students’ academic performance, self-esteem, mental health, social and emotional development, career and life prospects. Currently, there is a lack of scientifically unified methods and tools for dyslexia assessment and identification in China, resulting in a lower incidence rate of Chinese dyslexic students being discovered. Scientifically and accurately assessing and identifying dyslexic students and providing them with corresponding support and intervention measures are key issues in dyslexia research. This paper aims to analyze the progress of research on dyslexia assessment and identification in China, evaluate its current status, and summarize inspirations for dyslexia assessment and identification for future reference.

Using Walking Interviews in Migration Research: A Systematic Review of the Qualitative Research Literature

In the field of migration research, the frequency of employing qualitative walking interviews has risen in recent years to delve into the construction, evolution, and negotiation mechanisms of migrant identities within everyday spatial practices. This novel mobile method emphasizes the interaction between micro-experience and macro-structure. It facilitates a shift away from viewing migrants as passive outsiders, empowering them with increased agency, and allow researchers to gain deeper insights into migrants’ emotional dynamics, life experiences, and self-identification within new social landscapes and power configurations. This systematic review aims to evaluate, integrate, and analyse the current empirical evidence in qualitative migration research using walking/go-along interviews for different types of migrants (defined as an individual who moves away from his or her place of usual residence, whether within a country or across an international border, temporarily or permanently, and for a variety of reasons). This review brings together for the first time the knowledge and insights from migration research that involves walking interviews. This review employs framework synthesis to analyse the 24 included articles, identifying five major themes: (1) synergising diverse research methods within different research designs; (2) adjustment of power dynamics; (3) migrants’ place-based threefold agency; (4) migrants' identity construction; (5) place-based sense of belonging or exclusion. By integrating these themes, the methodological contribution of this review lies in recognizing the advantages of combining walking interviews with other research methods, which lies in capturing the multidimensional aspects of mobility, allowing researchers to flexibly switch between methodological strategies and spatial scales. Additionally, this paper recommends a deeper exploration of migratory experiences to transcend prevailing practical knowledge and pay sensitive attention to potential ethical issues throughout the research. Such investigation has the potential to uncover the dynamic evolution of agency, identity construction, and the fluctuating sense of belonging among various migrants throughout their journey.

The clinical significance of insomnia in chronic headache

To study the features of the manifestation of insomnia and its impact on the condition and quality of life in patients with chronic tension-type headache. The study included 65 patients with chronic tension-type headache and insomnia. Patients filled out questionnaires on headache severity, sleep quality, emotional status and quality of life. Seventeen patients underwent polysomnography. Patients with more severe insomnia had significantly more severe anxiety (p<0.001) and depression (p=0.025). Such patients assessed their quality of life worse according to the SF-12 questionnaire (p<0.002) and the Subjective Well-Being Scale (p<0.001), a higher level of central sensitization was observed in patients with more severe insomnia (p<0.001). The negative impact of insomnia on the condition of patients is not so much an increase in pain as such, but rather its influence on the quality of the emotional state and life in general, as well as an increase in the interdependence and mutual influence of other clinical and psychophysiological manifestations of the disease. Therefore, the clinical significance of insomnia is the deterioration of a person's ability to tolerate pain, which is the main prerequisite for a decrease in quality of life.

Multidimensional Scale Analysis and Modeling of Emotional Space in Yao Music

Abstract The research content of this paper gives a detailed analysis of the system structure of the music emotion recognition system. In the process of music feature extraction and recognition, the system first reads the note queue and tempo information queue of the format music and then analyzes and calculates the basic features of the music, tonal and melodic features, etc., respectively. The content of the text set is projected into a three-dimensional visual space using the multidimensional scale analysis method, and then the emotional theme is obtained by dividing the class groups. The samples from the Yao music database are selected as the data source for music emotion research, and performance analysis is performed. The results prove that the method of this paper can effectively perform feature extraction on Yao music files, with an average misdetection rate of only 0.09% and a recognition rate of more than 83% in all cases. The musical structure of Yao Village Impression can be broken down into five parts. The musical melodies mostly consist of major second and minor third intervals. The emotional labeling of structures 1 and 4 in the cluster analysis is distributed in four quadrants, with a preference for pleasurable emotions. Structure 2 was more concentrated in quadrants 1, 4. These emotion distribution results are consistent with the music depicting the beauty of Yao village and the emotional life of Yao people.

EXPLORING THE MULTIFACETED SPIRITUAL IDENTITIES OF ULU AL-'AZMI FIGURES IN CONTEMPORARY ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOLS

School is an institute that not only develops children's intellect and intelligence, but also teaches emotional intelligence and life skills. Students in boarding schools face various life challenges such as increased academic pressure, social and cultural obligations, financial constraints as well as a rigorous curriculum. This paper aims to explore the strengths and wisdom of Ulul Azmi prophets and apostles so that they can be embedded in the lives of students. This study is based on a descriptive qualitative method using library research. Library research involves the use of literature in the form of books, notes, and research reports from previous studies. Furthermore, this article shows that the values of Ulul 'Azmi include three main dimensions: Firstly, resilience encompasses perseverance in the midst of trials (Dzi Hijr), which indicates the ability to remain strong and resilient in the face of trials and difficulties. Second, steadfastness includes openness to new thoughts and ideas, and winning personality traits that reflect a strong and unyielding attitude in the face of obstacles. Third, perseverance involves the ability to keep trying and not giving up in the face of adversity, with an indicator of strong perseverance being the relentless pursuit of goals. Islamic boarding schools can internalise ulul 'Azmi values through every student's daily activity, which is strengthened by the formation of a sense of responsibility.

Exploring Smartphone Use Patterns and Their Associations with Demographic Characteristics, Socio-psychological Well-being, and Socio-cultural Factors among Nigerian Youth

The widespread adoption of smartphones has transformed communication and information access, particularly among Nigerian youths. As Africa’s most populous nation and rapidly digitizing economy, Nigeria offers a unique backdrop to investigate the complex interplay between smartphone use patterns, socio-psychological well-being, and socio-cultural factors among its youth population. This study employed a cross-sectional survey research design to explore these intricate relationships comprehensively. The methodological approach involved a quantitative research framework using a tailored measurement scale developed to gather relevant data, encompassing demographic details, smartphone use patterns, socio-psychological well-being indicators, and socio-cultural factors. This study focused on Nigerian youth aged 18 to 30 years, employing a snowball sampling technique to disseminate the research instrument through WhatsApp and Telegram platforms. A total of 1241 participants from different regions of the country were included in the study. The results showed significant variations in smartphone use patterns among Nigerian youth based on age groups, gender, and socioeconomic background. The results revealed significant variations in smartphone use patterns based on demographic characteristics, including age, sex, and socioeconomic background. Furthermore, smartphone use patterns exhibited significant correlations with various aspects of socio-psychological well-being, such as emotional well-being, stress levels, sleep quality, and life satisfaction. Sociocultural factors did not significantly predict smartphone use patterns; family dynamics and peer interactions emerged as significant indirect influencers through psychological well-being. The recommendations arising from the study’s findings suggest tailored interventions for demographic groups, promotion of digital well-being, and the incorporation of digital literacy education.

Cat owners’ anthropomorphic perceptions of feline emotions and interpretation of photographs

BackgroundMany cat owners describe the relationship with their cat in anthropomorphic terms like child or best friend. Attributing such human social roles to cats might influence the interpretation of cat behavior and communicative cues. MethodOver 1800 Dutch cat owners filled out an online survey concerning the relationship with, and behavior of, their own cat and beliefs about the emotional lives of cats in general. Owners were also presented with seven photographs of cats (four with reliable cues to identify an emotion and three neutral ones). Results52 % of the respondents described the relationship with their cat in human terms such as family member (52 %), as a child (27 %) or as best friend (6 %) while 14 % described their cat as a pet animal. Owners who described the relationship with their cat in human terms, more often a) assigned complex social emotions (such as jealousy and compassion) to cats and b) assigned emotions to neutral photographs. Owners with a realistic perception of cat emotions were better at correctly identifying the emotional photographs. Moreover, owners that attributed complex social emotions to cats in general had a higher tendency to attribute emotions to the neutral photographs. ConclusionOur study shows that the correct interpretation of feline emotional cues from photographs are negatively associated with owners’ anthropomorphic perception of cats. This study highlights the importance of educating owners about natural cat behavior and realistic views of the emotional life of (their) cats.

The Power of Emotional Engagement: Tamil Television Serials as a Trail to Enhance Well-being and Successful Ageing among Older Adults

Tamil television serials have the potential to elicit a wide variety of emotions in viewers. Emotional control and expression change as individuals age, and this change is interrelated in various ways. Positive or negative emotions, when put into practice by regulating the emotions associated with health, can result in an increase or decrease in lifespan during successful ageing. This study explores the relationship between emotional well-being and prosperous ageing in Tamil television serials among older adults. An exploratory method was adopted to understand the connection between Tamil television serials and emotional well-being for successful ageing in Tamil Nadu (a southern state of India). Fourteen older adults over 50 who watch Tamil television mega-serials from Tamil Nadu were recruited for in-depth interviews. Three themes emerged from the thematic analysis: emotional connection, life satisfaction, fortitude and ageism among older adults. The findings suggest that Tamil television serials provide emotional engagement, companionship and life satisfaction for older adults, contributing to successful ageing.

The well-being of unaccompanied migrant children: Between dreams and reality

The phenomenon of unaccompanied migrant children, though global, has important territorial and social context differences. The objectives of this study were: (i) to analyze the arrivals of unaccompanied children in Catalonia by age, sex and country of origin, (ii) to know crucial aspects related to the family and school background, (iii) to analyze their emotional well-being and life satisfaction, and (iv) to gain an insight into their perception of the barriers, opportunities and their rights during their stay in the child protection system (residential care). Regarding the first objective, a secondary analysis of the official database was carried out for the period 2015; for the second and third objectives, a questionnaire was administered to 811 unaccompanied migrant adolescents; and for the fourth, four focus groups were organized with young unaccompanied migrants living in residential centers. The main findings pointed to significant differences according to country of origin. Significant differences also existed in terms of emotional and life satisfaction, depending on country of origin, urban or rural background, sex, and above all, length of stay in the new setting. All the factors analyzed have implications for professional practice to support and protect unaccompanied migrant children and promote their autonomy, with an emphasis on the need to incorporate a gender perspective.

The Impact of Social Emotional Learning in TESOL: A Narrative Literature Review

Social emotional learning (SEL) is mainly about appreciating social and emotional factors and learning life skills. SEL can be divided into five categories, including how to deal with oneself, others, and relationships, and work in an effective manner. SEL helps people recognize emotions and learn how to manage them. Taking non-native English language classrooms as examples, this paper discusses how English learners performance changed when they engaged in diverse SEL experiences. Based on literature reading and analysis, this research indicates that the usage of SEL can actively affect teaching efficiency and improve learners academic achievement. SEL can entirely improve English learners interest and motivation in learning and support learners relaxed emotions. It also promotes communication among students, which allows more students to participate in teaching activities and results in better teaching efficiency. Efficient teaching and classes make students accept more professional knowledge and get better results than traditional teaching methods on exams.

“Self-compassion and life satisfaction in Vietnamese adolescents: the mediating role of emotional and behavioral problems”

Purpose The current study aims to examine the relationship between self-compassion and life satisfaction in Vietnamese adolescents and investigate the possibility that emotional and behavioural problems mediate this relationship. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative means of data collection and analysis were used to investigate the relationship between self-compassion and life satisfaction and the underlying mechanism of this relationship. A set of questionnaires was presented to a sample of 828 adolescents (M age = 14.61; SD = 1.08) aged 14–17 years from two secondary schools and two high schools in Thua Thien Hue Province, Vietnam. This helped to determine their self-compassion (self-compassion scale), emotional and behavioural problems (strengths and difficulties questionnaire) and life satisfaction (life satisfaction scale). Instruments reflected satisfactory reliability and validity. Findings The results show that self-warmth was positively associated with life satisfaction and that self-coldness was positively associated with emotional and behavioural problems and negatively associated with life satisfaction in Vietnamese adolescents. Emotional and behavioural problems fully mediated the negative relationship between self-coldness and life satisfaction. Practical implications It is implied that intervention programmes should be tailored to both promote self-compassionate behaviours and reduce self-coldness, to increase life satisfaction in adolescents. Originality/value The research available on the relationship between self-compassion and life satisfaction in adolescents, especially adolescents from Southeast Asia, is very sparse. More significantly, the underlying mechanisms behind this relationship are not yet fully understood.

Estimation of Prevalence of Misophonia Among High School Students in India.

Misophonia, an intriguing psychological disorder is characterized by intense emotional responses to specific sounds produced by others, has gained prominence for its distinct attributes and profound impact on individuals' emotional and psychological well-being. This study addresses the scarcity of research on misophonia's prevalence and severity among high school students, aiming to shed light on the unique challenges faced by this demographic in India. The study enrolled 597 high school students, including 269 females and 328 males, aged 14 to 16, with no history of psychological or otological problems or medication use. The Misophonia Assessment Questionnaire questionnaire, consisting of 21 questions with a 4-point Likert scale response, assessed emotional and behavioral reactions to sensitive sounds. Participants' scores categorized them as Sub-clinical, Mild, Moderate, or Severe misophonia. The prevalence of misophonia was 34.67% among high school students, with 52.65% categorized as Mild, 45.41% as Moderate, and 1.93% as severe misophonia. A comparison with a similar study on college students in India revealed a higher prevalence of misophonia among high school students. This discrepancy may relate to adolescents' vulnerable psychological states, marked by limited emotional regulation and significant life transitions. This study significantly contributes to the evolving understanding of misophonia by spotlighting its prevalence and severity among high school students in India. The findings underscore the necessity of recognizing and addressing misophonia's impact during adolescence, a crucial developmental phase.
