Affective shifts: mood, emotion and well-being

It is a familiar feature of our affective psychology that our moods ‘crystalize’ into emotions, and that our emotions ‘diffuse’ into moods. Providing a detailed philosophical account of these affective shifts, as I will call them, is the central aim of this paper. Drawing on contemporary philosophy of emotion and mood, alongside distinctive ideas from the phenomenologically-inspired writer Robert Musil, a broadly ‘intentional’ and ‘evaluativist’ account will be defended. I argue that we do best to understand important features of these affective shifts–which I document across this paper–in terms of intentional and evaluative aspects of the respective states of moods and emotion. At same the time, the account is pitched at the phenomenological level, as dealing with affective shifts primarily in terms of moods and emotions as experiential states, with respect to which it feels-like-something to be undergoing the relevant affective experience. The paper also applies the intentional-evaluative model of affective shifts to anxiety in more detail, developing the idea that certain patterns of affective shift, particularly those that allow for a kind of ‘emotional release’, can contribute to a subject’s well-being.

Automatic Generation of Object-Oriented Code from the ReLEL Requirements Model

The final executable code should no longer be considered as a central element in a software development process but rather a naturally important component that results from a model transformation. The objective of the MDA (Model Driven Architecture) approach is to lift the lock of software development automation from the CIM (Computation Independent Model) requirements until the code of an application is obtained. Therefore, we have proposed in the framework of MDA an approach that consists of automatically generating object-oriented code from the CIM model represented by ReLEL (Restructuring extended Lexical Elaborate Language). ReLEL is a natural language-oriented model that represents both the client requirements and the conceptual level of a system. However, the MDA framework does not recommend the type of UML model that corresponds to each business activity. Consequently, automating the software development process from the CIM model specified by ReLEL becomes a complex task. Our strategy in this paper includes the instantiation of the ReLEL model in the Praxeme methodology, which models each of the company's concerns, grouped in a homogeneous whole, using the UML (Unified Modeling Language) and which considers the articulation of these aspects by adopting the MDA principle. To do this, we propose to automate the articulation that covers the intentional, semantic, logical, and software aspects of Praxeme. To validate our approach, we measure the coupling and cohesion of the UML class diagram obtained from the Java code generated from this article using the slicing technique. The results show that the coupling is weak, and the cohesion is strong. It can be deduced that the method proposed in this paper can produce a more reliable and efficient system.

Impact of A Mobile Health Intervention On Bullying Among Children: A Systematic Review

Bullying is an anti-social behavior carried out by individuals or type of aggressive behavior that contains intentional aspects to dominate and hurt others and caused negative impact on the victim's physical and psychological. Imbalance of strength, whether physical, age, and social status, which is done repeatedly by one or several children against other children is a characteristic of bullying behavior. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mHealth on bullying among children. The studies using PRISMA and searched in four databases that published between 2016 until 2020. Twelve articles found were used in this systematic review that contains about an antibullying program that involves several parties has the preventive efforts in cases of bullying. A majority of interventions can be used in bullying and also be used as promotive and preventive efforts in cases of bullying in schools and communities.

The epistemology of intentionality notional constituents vs. direct grasp

ABSTRACT Franz Brentano is well known for highlighting the importance of intentionality, but he said curiously little about the nature of intentionality. According to Mark Textor, there is a deep reason for this: Brentano took intentionality to be a conceptual primitive the nature of which is revealed only in direct grasp. Although there is certainly textual support for this interpretation, it appears in tension with Brentano's repeated attempts to analyze intentionality in terms of ‘notional constituents’ – aspects of intentionality which cannot come apart in reality but which can be conceptually distinguished. After bringing out this tension, I explore some options for resolving it, ultimately offering my own favored interpretation.

Therapeutic adherence of patients with breast and prostate cancers

Objective: to analyze the treatment compliance of patients with breast and prostate cancers. Methods: cross-sectional study with 303 patients with breast and prostate cancers. A semi-structured instrument and the Adherence Determinants Questionnaire Scale Brazilian version were used, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: mean adherence was found among all participants (100.0%). In patients with prostate cancer, we observed weak correlations between age and interpersonal aspects of care (r=0.198; p=0.048); and between treatment time and intentions (r=-0.295; p=0.049). In breast cancer patients, there was a positive correlation between age and perceived support/severity (r=0.174; p=0.013); and between years of study and interpersonal aspects of care (r=0.145; p=0.038) and intentions (r=0.156; p=0.026). Conclusion: patients with breast and prostate cancers showed moderate adherence to treatment, with higher means in the Support/Severity domain and lower in the Perceived Susceptibility domain.

Strategic intent as a contingency of the relationship between external knowledge and firm innovation

The effects of searching for external knowledge on firm innovation vary, as demonstrated by evidence reporting positive linear, negative linear, or curvilinear relationships. We use ambidexterity theory to explain how the exploratory and exploitative aspects of knowledge search and strategic intent can complement each other. Specifically, we theorize that a firm’s dominant logic creates an overall strategic intent – exploration or exploitation – through the firm’s structured interpretation and use of information, which creates a differential effect on the relationship between search practices and firm innovation. In particular, exploratory intent accentuates the positive effects of external search by enabling the assimilation of external knowledge, while an exploitative intent attenuates the positive effects of a search by limiting the use of external information to improving current products. Analyzing firm-level survey, financial information, and the number of patents of 380 firms, we provide empirical support for the effects of a dominant strategic intent on external searches and firm innovation.

Family Responsive Policies and Employee Turnover Intentions, the Mediating Role of Work Stress: Perspectives from a Developing Country

Purpose: This study examines the link between organizations’ family responsive policies and employee turnover intentions, with work stress as a mediating factor. Previous studies mostly situated in western contexts have focused on aspects of employee turnover intentions. Very few studies have considered family responsive policies and practices as factors in employees’ intention to stay or quit a job, particularly in a developing country. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study adopted a survey approach drawing on responses from a sample of 285 respondents from selected banks. Data were analyzed using Pearson Product moment in SPSS. Findings: Analyses showed a significant negative relationship between employee turnover intentions and family care services and benefits. Findings also showed a negative relationship between family responsive policies and stress. The work underscores the importance of family-responsive policies in managing turnover intentions of employees. It shows how work stress mediates the relationship between organizations’ family responsive policies and employee turnover intentions. Practical Implications: This study has revealed that these family responsive policies could be the organizations’ strategic corporate social responsibility towards their internal stakeholders. Further, organizations desiring to benefit from workplace diversity should aim at implementing these employee maintenance activities to attract competent members from a minority group, especially married women with children who still have the greatest responsibility of managing the family. Originality/Value: Empirically, this study is the first of its kind in Ghana conducted in a crucial sector of the economy, examining the relationship among family responsive policies, work stress, and turnover intentions.

Acceptability of and intention to use the Unified Protocol delivered in group format in the Spanish Public Health System.

The high prevalence of emotional disorders leads to a high demand for mental care which results in high costs and long waiting lists in public mental health settings. The Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP) is a recent emotion-regulation-based intervention that can be a cost-effective solution in public mental health settings due its transdiagnostic approach and the possibility to apply it in group format. However, the acceptability by mental healthcare professionals (MHCPs) delivering the UP in group format has not been explored. Thirty-three MHCPs, grouped into MHCPs without previous experience and MHCPs with experience in delivering the UP, were asked about aspects of acceptability and intention to use. Quantitative analysis was carried out to explore MHCPs acceptability. Furthermore, qualitative opinion about UP were collected through a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis to explore MHCPs opinion of delivering the UP intervention in a group format, within the Spanish Public Mental Health System. The results showed high scores in all acceptability dimensions and intention to use in the future. SWOT analysis showed strengths and opportunities focusing on its transdiagnostic nature and the cost-effective benefits of group treatment, and weaknesses and threats related to the limited material and human resources. Findings indicate high acceptability of the UP by MHCPs working within the Spanish Public Mental Health System and also identified areas for improvements. In order to enhance the dissemination and implementation of the UP, it is essential to consider MHCPs' perceptions and to be open to their suggestions.

Sustainable Food Consumption: Investigating Organic Meat Purchase Intention by Vietnamese Consumers

Promoting sustainable food consumption contributes to the achievement of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. This study investigated the key determinants of consumer intention to purchase organic meat in an emerging market and a unique model was developed by incorporating environmental concern and guilt with the key components of the Theory of Planned Behavior. This model was then validated by obtaining data from a sample of 402 Vietnamese consumers at five food stores in Ho Chi Minh City, using a paper-based survey. The findings reveal that consumers who are concerned about the environment are likely to formulate favorable attitudes and downplay monetary barriers associated with organic food purchase. In addition, while attitudes and guilt about buying conventional meat have a positive effect on organic meat purchase intention, perceived monetary barriers significantly reduce the intention. These findings highlight both the rational and emotional aspects of organic food purchase intention and have important implications for key stakeholders and the encouragement of organic meat consumption.

Automatic generation of Web service for the Praxeme software aspect from the ReLEL requirements model

Praxeme is an enterprise methodology that combines the two approaches SOA and MDA to build an information system. It is based on the ideology of separating the business concern into a homogeneous set called "aspect" to better control the usual complexity of a system. The instantiation of the ReLEL requirements model in the Praxeme methodology is an interesting approach to improve the quality of the software development process because it not only allows to specify the user requirements but also to represent the very precise conceptual level of the future system to be designed. Therefore, this article deals with the automatic generation of SOAP web services that represent the software aspect of the Praxeme methodology from the intentional aspect specified by the ReLEL requirements model. To achieve this, we proceeded in two steps, namely the proposal of the rules for deriving the Praxeme Logical Factory Model (logical aspect) into a Web Service Description Language model or WSDL (software aspect) classified as Model to Model Transformation (M2M) in the MDA approach and then the proposal of the rules for translating the WSDL model into a WSDL document known as Model to Text Translation (M2T). The result obtained from the approach proposed in this paper is a WSDL file which is an XML language allowing the complete description of a Web service. We used ATL for the implementation of the M2M approach transformation rules and then the Acceleo template engine for the translation of the M2T.

Military Medical Students’ Intentions to Pursue Operational Medicine: Survey Design and Initial Validation

The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences coordinates a 2-week Summer Operational Experience (SOE) during the first year of medical school. The SOE aims to provide students with operational context and enhance familiarity with service-specific operational environments, the services' medical department capabilities, and/or general warfighter skills. One overarching goal of the SOE is to provide an experience that may motivate students to pursue an operational medicine assignment at some point in their military career. However, to date, little evaluation data have been collected regarding the effectiveness of the SOE in encouraging medical students to pursue operational medicine assignments. The purpose of this project was to develop and collect initial validity evidence for a survey instrument designed to assess various aspects of students' attitudes and behavioral intentions to pursue an operational medicine assignment at some point in their military career. Using the theory of planned behavior as a framework, we developed a survey that focused on three distinct constructs: attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. We followed a systematic, seven-step design process to develop the survey and collect initial validity evidence. Students completed the 20-item survey prior to their operational experience to evaluate their intentions to pursue an operational medicine assignment at some point in their military career. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and reliability analysis were performed to examine the internal structure of the instrument. In addition, bivariate correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were used to explore the relationships between the identified factors and students' intentions to pursue operational medicine. Results from the expert reviews and cognitive interviews suggested the instrument was clear and interpretable. We then invited the entire class of 2020 who participated in the SOE (149 students) to take the survey; in total, 122 students (response rate = 82%) completed the entire survey. Findings from the EFA suggested four underlying factors with satisfactory internal consistency reliability, and the regression analysis revealed that three factors statistically significantly predicted students' intentions to pursue operational medicine: Attitude: Personal Growth (b=0.67, β=0.42, P<0.001); Behavioral Control (b=0.20, β=0.15, P<0.05); and Attitude: Career Progression (b=0.36, β=0.30, P<0.001). The factor related to student's perception of the importance that others placed on an operational medicine assignment was not a statistically significant predictor of intention. Findings from this study suggest the developed survey yields scores that can reliably assess students' attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intentions to pursue operational medicine. Using this survey, course leaders have a tool for evaluating the success of the SOE and identifying potential areas for improvement within the curriculum. More broadly, other educators can use the theoretical framework and instrument design process described here to evaluate students' behavioral intentions in their own contexts.

The Levels of Suicide Intention in Secondary School of Pakistan: Students' Perceptions

This study was aimed at analyzing the levels of suicide intention in the secondary school students of Pakistan. To collect data, the tool was developed with 23 items to represent the three-dimension i.e. personal aspects, social aspects, and environmental aspects of suicide intention. The tool was validated through different measurement indices and reliability was found out within the threshold values. The data were collected from 384 students of the secondary schools in the Mardan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The sampling adequacy was confirmed for the sample size. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, SEM (structural equation modeling), and AMOS (analysis of a moment structures) to find out the levels for each dimension and the holistic variable. The levels of all the dimensions and variables were found out as high, in terms of negativity. In other words, a high potential risk of suicide was found in the students. Suggestions were made, to educate the parents and society about this potential threat.

ВПЛИВ СИТУАЦІЇ СПІЛЬНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ НА МОВЛЕННЄВУ КОМУНІКАЦІЮ ДІТЕЙ

The article highlights the results of research on the problem of children's speech communication, which occurs in the process of interpersonal interaction: role-playing, sports games, productive and creative activities. It is concluded that the success of practical interaction and communication depends on the child's ability to express their own intentions in speech and understand the intentions of the partner.&#x0D; It was found that the initial and common element is the intentional aspect of the content of speech, the manifestation of the child's positive or negative intentional orientation. It is assumed that the study of the intentional structure of dialogues in the process of performing a common task will help to identify the intentional state of children, their current intentions, will reveal the interdependence of speech and practical actions of participants in joint activities.

Hybrid collective intentionality

The theory of collective agency and intentionality is a flourishing field of research, and our understanding of these phenomena has arguably increased greatly in recent years. Extant theories, however, are still ill-equipped to explain certain aspects of collective intentionality. In this article we draw attention to two such underappreciated (and intertwined) aspects: the failure of the intentional states of collectives to supervene on the intentional states of their members, and the role of non-human factors in collective agency and intentionality (‘hybrid’ collective intentionality). We propose a theory of collective intentionality which builds on the ‘interpretationist’ tradition in metasemantics and the philosophy of mind as initiated by David Lewis and recently developed further by Robbie Williams. The collective-level analogue of interpretationism turns out to look different in some ways from the individual-level theory, but is well-suited to accommodating phenomena such as hybrid collective intentionality. Complemented with Kit Fine’s theory of variable embodiment, such a theory also provides a diachronic account of intentional collectives.

New Scaling of Theory of Mind Tasks: Where Can the Intentional Aspect Be Scaled?

The purpose of the research is to develop a new theory of mind tasks, test its reliability and validity, and scale the intentional aspect of theory of mind. The study was designed as survey research, one of the quantitative research traditions. One hundred and fifty-eight children whose age ranged between 4 and 10 years were included in the research sample through quota sampling. Data were dichotomous so Rasch analysis was used to analyse the data. As result of Rasch analysis, it was found that the separation index is 7; reliability coefficient is 98; and the battery of the theory of mind task has robust model fit based on RMSE, infit mean-square and outfit mean-square. Difficulty analysis indicated that false belief tasks and real vs. disclosed intention are the hardest tasks, while diverse desires, implicit false beliefs, and diverse beliefs are the easiest tasks in the battery.

Непрофессиональный политический дискурс: интенциональный аспект (на материале интернет-комментариев к политическим новостям)

This study examines the issues of generating non-professional political discourse in an intentional aspect. Non-professional political discourse is born on special platforms designed to discuss events of a political nature by each user, regardless of their profession, social status, etc. Among these venues is the space of Internet comments. The multiple nature of their generation is determined by a number of discourse-forming factors (linguistic in combination with extra-linguistic ones), including the intentions of Internet users: to learn the latest political events and give their own assessment of what is happening, discuss current news and argue their political position. Despite the dependence of these texts on the primary text of political news, as well as on the preconditioned set form of a commentary, the analysis of user replicas explicates a rich repertoir of intentions of the participants. The author suggests considering the category of intentionality in the aspect of its implementation in non-professional political discourse in three guises: receptive-cognitive, communicative-interpretative and communicative-interactive.
