Validation of the Comic Strip Test to evaluate empathy in a Mexican population sample.

Empathy is the ability of an individual to understand it from another cognitive and emotional point of view. Empathy is a complex that represents a retouch in its evaluation, so, it is necessary to have instruments validated in the Mexican population. Validation of the Comic Strip Test to evaluate empathy. Sampling for convenience, based on internal consistency, convergent validity with the Empathy coefficient, construct validity in the factorial analysis, and the ability to discriminate between subjects with lack of empathy (psychopathology) and the control subjects through a curve ROC. The comic strips test was evaluated in 86 controls, 19 patients with schizophrenia (Cronbach's alpha = 0.894). The correlation with the empathy coefficient was 0.88, with sensitivity of 81.3% and specificity of 38%. The Comic Strip Test was validated with parametric psychometric parameters.

Understanding Loneliness in Pre- and Post-Pandemic Times

Loneliness was one the most important matters during The Covid Pandemic. This paper claims that this “lonely situation” was a previous cultural condition. Loneliness belongs to a certain style of life of the Western Culture as an effect of the cultural way of living during the last decades. For this purpose, we will show the way loneliness has been researched during the last 70 years, which is mostly from a psychological and emotional point of view. On the opposite, we will show 2 reasonings to declare the “emotional loneliness” not enough in order to understand this phenomenon. Finally, we will introduce structural cultural elements – taking Sweden as an example of a very modern western socialdemocracy – to show loneliness as way of life and not only a way of feeling. That conclusion allows us to re-ask the cultural control of an isolated individual in pre-Pandemic times.

Risk of stress in caregiving role of cancer patients

Objective: To analyze the risk of stress in the role of caregivers of cancer patients. Method: Qualitative, descriptive, phenomenological research. The participants of the study were caregivers of a patient with cancer, taking as inclusion criteria that they had more than 1 year of uninterrupted care of the patient. The information was collected through semi-structured interviews that were recorded and then transcribed word by word. The information saturation criterion was taken into account, at which time the information collection was completed; therefore, 10 interviews were carried out. The data analysis was carried out following the grounded theory in the data, emerging categories and subcategories from the discourse of the study participants; triangulating the data with previous studies and theoretical aspects on the subject. Results: The risk of caregiver stress is related to physiological, emotional, economic aspects and expectations with the recovery of the family member having as a basis the support of the family and the activities performed by them. Conclusions: The risk of caregiver stress was evidenced with greater relevance from the physiological point of view, since most caregivers presented body aches, tiredness and insomnia. From the emotional point of view, the caregivers presented alterations such as sadness, anxiety and from the economic point of view, there were resignations from their work places, their profession and their life projects.

Is falling in love within the mental health system a problem? How to turn it into a chance for the care relationship.

INTRODUCTION: The care pathway within a mental health service can create situations of strong emotional impact, including physical attraction and falling in love. This may evolve in moments of impasse for the staff and sometimes compromise the success of therapeutic treatment. This article offers some evidence about how intervene in a situation such as a client falling in love with a nurse, avoiding transforming it into a problem. The fear of the nurse, maybe already inclined to blame themselves for what has happened, when he/she asks for supervision, is to feel judged also by the supervisor. This story teaches that to refer to figures from outside the team, as would usually be the case with supervision, may be replaced by enhancing the role composition already available in the residential community as a resource. The story was listened and enhanced thankyou to an exchange between M. and the community manager. From the analysis of the narratives co-produced by M., the former substance user, and the community manager, the elements that made it possible to transform a feeling of falling in love into an interaction of extended trust emerged. The non-judgmental and confidential context, but above all the training in interpersonal exchange, facilitated the client sharing very intimate and private experiences, which are usually hidden or denied. This made it possible to make the community responsible for the individual's experiences and to overcome the role impasse and the related identity dilemma. Neither nurses nor clients should be held accountable or blamed when these episodes occur. The strongest resource is sharing in the group and putting one's own experiences into play. Following the M. story, a targeted confrontation between team members and clients is an accessible and effective resource to respond to situations of strong emotional impact, falling in love being just one example; however, it can be effectively activated only through a collective taking charge of the individual's difficulties has already been implemented.

Emotional Point of View in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (Tobe Hooper, 1974) forcefully demonstrates an unusual technique for conveying characters' emotions, which I call emotional point of view (POV). This is a means of depicting emotions enmeshed with elements of film form, such as cinematography or mise-en-scène. Reading for emotional POV allows us to witness the distortive effect of characters' emotions on their perception. I examine three episodes of emotional POV in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: those of fear, horror, and anger.

Analyzing voter behavior on social media during the 2020 US presidential election campaign

Every day millions of people use social media platforms by generating a very large amount of opinion-rich data, which can be exploited to extract valuable information about human dynamics and behaviors. In this context, the present manuscript provides a precise view of the 2020 US presidential election by jointly applying topic discovery, opinion mining, and emotion analysis techniques on social media data. In particular, we exploited a clustering-based technique for extracting the main discussion topics and monitoring their weekly impact on social media conversation. Afterward, we leveraged a neural-based opinion mining technique for determining the political orientation of social media users by analyzing the posts they published. In this way, we were able to determine in the weeks preceding the Election Day which candidate or party public opinion is most in favor of. We also investigated the temporal dynamics of the online discussions, by studying how users’ publishing behavior is related to their political alignment. Finally, we combined sentiment analysis and text mining techniques to discover the relationship between the user polarity and sentiment expressed referring to the different candidates, thus modeling political support of social media users from an emotional viewpoint.

Soundscape Approach in the Seaport of Ancona: A Case Study

Today, the art of knowing how to listen is more urgent than ever. The perceptive sound system of the human being is stimulated daily by countless artificial sounds that dominate natural ones. When it comes to the idea of the soundscape, the terminology was initially referred to by composer and environmentalist Raymond Murray Shafer, who defined “soundscape” as a relationship between the ear, humans, built environments, and society. This paper aims to apply the sound landscape approach in the seaport area of Ancona (Italy); a large area, frequented daily by many people, which is divided into passenger and ferry terminals, container terminals, plants for solid bulk, and commercial and recreational activities. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the perception that a human has of the urban layout of the port area by correlating the parameters of traditional acoustics with psychoacoustics. To evaluate the subjective parameters, a questionnaire was developed and applied, enabling the analysis of demographic and behavioral factors such as age, visit frequency, and length of stay of the participants in the clusters of the seaport. This way, it was possible to give an indication of the sound quality of the different clusters of the port area, from an acoustic and emotional point of view, and this information could be particularly helpful in the planning phase of new attractions for the Ancona seaport.

Empirical analysis of the corporate social responsibility and financial performance causal nexus: Evidence from the banking sector of Bangladesh

In a culture like Bangladesh where social trust is low and corporate philanthropy is rare, corporate social responsibility (CSR) engagements of the banking sector have been in a conspicuously upward trend. It begs the question of whether the galvanization of CSR expenditure is validated by financial motivations or a genuine thirst for corporate philanthropy. The literature on the relationship between CSR and corporate financial performance (CFP) is without any overarching consensus. From an emotional viewpoint, we revere corporate philanthropy without necessarily analyzing its financial merits. This study extends the contemporary CSR literature horizon by examining 30 listed banks in Bangladesh from the years 2006 through 2018, with particular emphasis on methodology that attempts to validate the CSR-CFP relationship. In addition to examining the bidirectional causality between CSR and financial returns using Panel Vector Autoregression, the study examines the factor determinants of CSR. The study finds that better CFP leads to more CSR expenditure, but CSR expenditure does not necessarily influence CFP. Moreover, net income, total deposits, return on asset, and previous year's CSR have a significant positive relationship with CSR whereas firm age has a significant negative relationship.

Impact of online education on student emotional well-being

The shift to full online education has resulted in tremendous changes, such as creation of virtual classrooms, digital collaboration and distance learning. Students not only had to learn how to participate in virtual collaborative environments, but they are still adjusting to new methods of learning and using technology. Conducting online classes and exams at translation and interpreting studies is all the more challenging due to their interdisciplinary nature and a variety of generic and soft skills that suddenly need to be exercised online. Hence, after posing two research questions, it can be initially hypothesized that the digital transformation of education has an impact on students from an emotional point of view as well. Namely, it was visible that students dealt with the new arisen situation as well as with educational and social challenges in different ways and by expressing various emotional responses. This study aims to explore the ways in which tele-education affects student emotions and whether it influences their emotional well-being. For the purpose of this study, survey research was conducted among 91 students at undergraduate translation and interpreting studies in North Macedonia who were given the opportunity to explain how they personally dealt with educational novelties and challenges. The responses indicate whether students experience emotional consequences of (extended) online education. Based on the survey results, conclusions can be made about future practices that would benefit translation and interpreting students from an emotional point of view. / Keywords: online education, distance learning, emotional well-being, emotionally charged words, translation and interpreting studies

Factors Associated With a High Motivation to Undergo Fertility Preservation in Female Cancer Patients.

Objective: Fertility loss due to cancer treatment can be a devastating experience for women and the couple. Undergoing fertility preservation can be a complex decision from both a medical and emotional point of view. The aim of the present study was to evaluate which socio-demographic and psychological factors predict a high motivation to undergo fertility preservation.Methods: Fifty-eight female cancer patients who accessed an Oncofertility Unit completed: a questionnaire to collect socio-demographic characteristics and the level of motivation, the Beck-Depression Inventory-II, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Y, and the Fertility Problem Inventory.Results: Almost half of the sample (44.8%) declared a high motivation. At multiple logistic regression analysis only the “Need for parenthood” subscale of the FPI predicted a high motivation. We alternatively evaluated as possible predictor the construct “Representations about the importance of parenthood” (i.e., the sum of the “Need for Parenthood” and “Rejection of childfree lifestyle” subscales) in place of the two separate subscales. At multiple logistic regression analysis, only this variable predicted a high motivation to undergo fertility preservation.Conclusion: The most important predictor of a high motivation to undergo fertility preservation is the individual desire for parenthood. This implies that, regardless of socio-demographic characteristics, any woman of childbearing age should receive an appropriate counseling about fertility preservation.

Reading Minds, Reading Stories: Social-Cognitive Abilities Affect the Linguistic Processing of Narrative Viewpoint.

Although various studies have shown that narrative reading draws on social-cognitive abilities, not much is known about the precise aspects of narrative processing that engage these abilities. We hypothesized that the linguistic processing of narrative viewpoint—expressed by elements that provide access to the inner world of characters—might play an important role in engaging social-cognitive abilities. Using eye tracking, we studied the effect of lexical markers of perceptual, cognitive, and emotional viewpoint on eye movements during reading of a 5,000-word narrative. Next, we investigated how this relationship was modulated by individual differences in social-cognitive abilities. Our results show diverging patterns of eye movements for perceptual viewpoint markers on the one hand, and cognitive and emotional viewpoint markers on the other. Whereas the former are processed relatively fast compared to non-viewpoint markers, the latter are processed relatively slow. Moreover, we found that social-cognitive abilities impacted the processing of words in general, and of perceptual and cognitive viewpoint markers in particular, such that both perspective-taking abilities and self-reported perspective-taking traits facilitated the processing of these markers. All in all, our study extends earlier findings that social cognition is of importance for story reading, showing that individual differences in social-cognitive abilities are related to the linguistic processing of narrative viewpoint.

The importance of breastfeeding on the development of the mother-child relationship from an emotional point of view

Breastfeeding is known to have positive effects on the health and nutrition of infants and has been associated with increased subsequent cognitive ability and educational achievement. It is also believed to encourage the development of a "bond" between mother and child in early childhood. The benefits of breastfeeding on mothers and children are well known, with growing evidence that prolonged breastfeeding brings health and financial benefits. Despite the evidence that there are considerable benefits of breastfeeding, there are still gaps in understanding why many women have difficulty initiating and maintaining breastfeeding. Unfortunately, our country is at the end of the European ranking. Practically, in the vast majority of maternity hospitals, women do not receive the necessary help to start breastfeeding and are even discouraged by the medical staff, who in most cases are guided by outdated and erroneous information. Moreover, mothers need encouragement and emotional support from the medical staff and the family, being in a sensitive period, with major physical and mental changes. Thus, the present study was designed to explore the potential relationships between breastfeeding and the development of the mother-child emotional dyad. In the first chapter we presented the importance of breastfeeding, the risks of not breastfeeding and the development of emotions in the first year of life. I also went through the stages of developing the mother-child relationship and described the child's temperament. In the second chapter we gave the definition of the term attachment and we identified the main types of attachment after J.Bowlby. Next we defined the parental styles and we identified their main types. We also defined emotional stability and postpartum depression. In chapter 3 we presented the research objectives and the 5 formulated hypotheses. Later I described the 4 chosen working tools, among which my own tool. At the end of this chapter I described the group of participants. In the fourth chapter we introduced the statistical processing of data and their interpretation. The last chapter contains the conclusions of the study.

Prediction of Employee Attrition Using Machine Learning Approach

Abstract: In the world of technology, there are various zones through which different companies may adopt technologies which sustenance decision-making, Artificial Intelligence is the most creative advancement, generally used to help various companies and institutions in business approaches, authoritative aspects and individual’s administration. As of late, consideration has progressively been paid to Human Resources (HR), since professional excellence and capabilities address a development factor and a genuine upper hand for organizations. Subsequent to having been acquainted with deals and showcasing offices, manmade brainpower is additionally beginning to direct representative related choices inside HR the board. The reason for existing is to help choices that are put together not with respect to emotional viewpoints but rather on target information investigation. The objective of this work is to break down how target factors impact representative weakening, to distinguish the fundamental driver that add to a specialist's choice to leave an organization, and to have the option to foresee whether a specific worker will leave the organization. After the testing, the proposed model of an algorithm for the prediction of workers in any industry, attrition is tested on actual dataset with almost 150 samples. With this algorithm best results are generated in terms of all experimental parameters. It uncovers the best review rate, since it estimates the capacity of a classifier to track down every one of the True positive rates and accomplishes a generally false positive rate. The introduced result will help us in distinguishing the conduct of representatives who can be attired throughout the following time. Trial results uncover that the strategic relapse approach can reach up to 86% exactness over another. There are the few algorithms that can be used for processing the data, KNearest Neighbour, logistic regression, decision Tree, random Forest, Support Vector Machine etc. Keywords: Employees Attrition, Machine Learning, Support vector machine (SVM), KNN (K-Nearest Neighbour)

An incremental learning temporal influence model for identifying topical influencers on Twitter dataset

Sentiment analysis explores the views, perceptions and feelings of people concerning entities like subjects, goods, organizations, resources and individuals. The opinion of some people in social network influences the opinion behavior and thoughts of other people. They are known as influential user. In this article, both the sentiment analysis and identification of influential user are proposed. Initially, Twitter data are preprocessed by proposing weighted partition around medoids (WPAM) with artificial cooperative search (WPAM-ACS) which extracts topics from Twitter data through dynamic clustering (DC). For sentiment classification, NLP has been used in many works. The main issue of using NLP for sentiment classification is that many languages do not have the adequate resources to develop NLP models. So, a fuzzy deep neural network (FDNN) is proposed in this paper for sentiment classification, because FDNN effectively handles the uncertainties and noises in tweet data than other state of the arts. Emotional conformity is a metric that refers to how people from an emotional point of view agree with another person. It is given as additional input to FDNN along with the tweets for sentiment classification. Finally, influential users are detected by temporal influential model (TIM) formulated as likelihood function using incremental logistic regression (ILLR) in which user’s opinion sequence is considered for identification of influential user. In the experimental results, sentiment analysis is evaluated in terms of precision, recall and F-measure and proved that the proposed DC–FDNN sentiment classification is better than fixed clustering and NLP (FC–NLP)-based sentiment classification. Influential user detection using TIM-ILLR on opinion sequences which are identified by DC-FDNN is evaluated in terms of accuracy and proved that TIM-ILLR is better than other methods such as maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), support vector regression (SVR) and logistic regression (LR).

Migraine and literature: a narrative historical review.

Description of migraine pain is sometimes difficult for a patient. The simple words reported in the Classification of International Headache Society are not sufficient to explain both the patient's sense of discomfort and the emotional point of view. We analyzed works by international writers and novelists in the last centuries to explore the connotation of migraine in literature. We evaluated the literary insight of migraine, the description of migraine experience and the therapies proposed in novels, essays and short stories. In literature, migraine has still the negative connotation of an untreatable disease. It is described as a barrier for social, familial, and work activities. In more recent works, new therapies are not mentioned, confirming that scientific improvements both in acute phase and in prophylaxis are not part of the literary cultural mainstream.

The influence of parents’ educational practices on young learners’ social and academic adaptation

The study starts from the overwhelming importance that the family has on the child’s development, as a result of the multitude of functions not found in other social groups, such as: biological function, procreation function, economic, psychoaffective and educational function. Although all parents’ purposeis the harmonious development of children from a cognitive, social and emotional point of view, under the influence of a variety of factors, they manifest educational practices that dose differently care and parental control. Thus, the study considers how parents’ action patterns can influence the social and academic adaptation of young school-age students. In this sense, the research sample is made of 18 primary school students whose school period was followed throughout the fundamental acquisition cycle.

Representation of Problems in the Field of Education in the Modern “Agenda Setting” Media of the Republic of Tatarstan

The article examines how the most popular Russian-language media among the audience of the Republic of Tatarstan talk about problems in the field of education. The author of the article used methods of problem-thematic, lexico-stylistic and comparative analysis of mass media for the previous two years (570 articles were analysed). As a result of the investigate we found the authors of the articles talked about numerous conflicts between teachers, students and their parents from an emotional point of view, wanting to increase the number of views of their articles and increase the rating of a particular media, without forming a positive media image of a teacher.
