Языковая репрезентация концепта PRIVACY (на материале идиоматических выражений английского языка)

The study aims to identify the significance of the PRIVACY concept for the English conceptual sphere and to show how it is expressed in the language through idioms. The geographical autonomy of the United Kingdom formed the basis of the PRIVACY concept, so this concept can be called one of the key ones in English linguoculture. The paper demonstrates the principles of interaction of communication participants who violated the zone of autonomous space. Idiomatic units served as the basis for the elaboration of schemes demonstrating the peculiarities of the interaction of the British and a visual explanation of the essence of this concept. Scientific novelty of the work lies in considering phraseological units through two new aspects of the PRIVACY concept: internal isolation and external interference. As a result of the study, it has been found that this concept explains the national model of interpersonal relations of British residents, in particular, it determines the acceptable level of influence of participants on each other in British communication and allows penetrating into the system of figurative representations that contribute to the development of intercultural communicative competence.

Selected Predictors of the Sense of Intimacy in Relationships of Young Adults.

The main research objective of this study was seeking the predictive role of closeness to parents, attachment, identity style, identity commitment, type of relationship, and having children in intimacy among young women and men. Many studies indicate differences in the level of engagement, communication, and satisfaction in relationships. The study group comprised 227 people, including 114 women (M = 29.99; SD = 4.36), and 113 men (M = 30.00; SD = 4.33). A total of 40% of the subjects were married, and the remaining 60% subjects were in informal relationships; 101 people had children and the other individuals were childless. The following instruments were used: The Miller Social Intimacy Scale, questionnaires to assess closeness and attachment, and the Identity Style Inventory. The significance of the differences and the stepwise regression analysis were performed. The results of the study demonstrated a higher level of intimacy in a relationship with a partner among women than men. The nature of a relationship does not matter to the sense of intimacy. However, closeness to parents during childhood and adolescence, the model of interpersonal relations, and the identity style are predictors of intimacy in a relationship. The study results can be used in creating preventive and educational programs focused on family life and satisfied relationships.

The Opera in J. I. Kraszewski’s Novels of the 18th Century (Under the Saxon Kings)

Summary Poland in the 18th century is generally associated with a period of cultural decline, yet in the history of Europe it is the golden age of the opera. In his cycle of historical novels set in Poland under the Saxon kings Józef Ignacy Kraszewski did not omit the opera, an important cultural feature of the period, and made it a significant factor in the lives of the main characters of Gräfin von Cosel, Brühl, Seven Years’ War, Saxon Remains, The Starosta of Warsaw, and The Virago (Herod-Baba). The first part of the article deals with the documentary aspect of Kraszewski’s fiction, ie. his use of opera references to fill in the picture of the period. It is followed by analyses of his typification techniques, ie. the way he invests his characters, events and narrative interpretations with some typifying or stereotyping formulas. References to the opera are often used in this way. The third part of the article focuses on Brühl, where the opera is an exceptionally rich source of images and ideas for the creation of the fictional world. Most importantly, the opera provides Kraszewski with a model of interpersonal relations – the hidden mechanism of power struggle in the world of politics which he explores in that novel.

Sartre and the Doctors

This paper considers how the experience of illness fits within Sartre’s account of embodiment in Being and Nothingness. Sartre makes some remarks about illness, but does not develop a full account. I show that the anti‐naturalistic ontological framework in which Sartre’s discussion of the body is placed, which opposes my ‘being‐for‐Others’ to my ‘being‐for‐myself’, imposes a revisionary account of illness, and how Sartre’s model of interpersonal relations affects his view of doctors, and their role in the illness experience. I note and discuss the connection Sartre draws between illness and bad faith. I also point out that recent phenomenologically inspired criticisms of the medical establishment that draw on Sartre’s account of the body are limited by their failure to engage with Sartre’s ontology.

Caring Communications

Part I of this 2-part series about technology's role in interpersonal communications examined how humans interact; proposed a caring theory of communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution; and delineated ways that technology--in general--supports this carative model of interpersonal relations. Part II will examine the barriers to adoption of carative technologies, describe the core capabilities required to overcome them, and discuss specific technologies that can support carative interpersonal relationships.

Small worlds, infinite possibilities? How social networks affect entrepreneurial team formation and search

AbstractThe social network perspective has become an important analytical lens for understanding strategic actions among entrepreneurs. Social theorists offer two competing visions of networks' configurations: one of infinite opportunities for individuals to develop heterogeneous circles of affiliations and the other of constrained opportunities privileging only certain individuals. We draw on this tension to describe three models of network formation – random, small world, and truncated scale free – and apply them to entrepreneurial team formation and resource mobilization strategies undertaken by entrepreneurs. We compare and contrast two models of team formation – a rational process model and an interpersonal relations model – and identify the network contexts under which each is most applicable. Mundane entrepreneurial teams arise within localized clusters and appear unlikely to take advantage of what network theorists have called small world networks, which depend upon bridging ties between clusters. Nonetheless, there are entrepreneurial strategies through which new ventures might achieve the advantages of small world networks. To the extent that new ventures emerge in truncated scale free networks, their founders must work within a highly centralized structure, with its institutionalized standards making team formation and entrepreneurial search more instrumental than within small worlds.

Use of Peplau's Interpersonal Relations Model to Counsel People With AIDS

BACKGROUND: Although faced with serious concerns that need to be addressed, clients are often left alone as they cope with AIDS. Nurses are sometimes unsure of their ability to help persons who have termi nal illnesses.OBJECTIVES: The purposes of this research were to provide an example of the development of a nursing approach by the use of Peplau's interpersonal relations model and to gain a greater understanding of life-and-death issues raised by men and women with HIV and AIDS.STUDY DESIGN: A qualitative analysis of a man with AIDS was completed by use of Peplau's model. RESULTS: A question, such as "What are your concerns regarding your situation or your disease?" can greatly encourage clients facing a terminal illness to discuss their concerns. Nurses can assist clients in discussing their concerns regarding death. Nurses can create trusting relationships with clients and understand various issues facing the clients and the interaction process involved. Greater knowledge and understanding of these issues are gained when looking at three categories of concern: care and dis ease, life and death, and stereotypes and prejudices.CONCLUSION: Nurses can make a qualitative difference in the lives of clients with AIDS when they accom pany these persons on their journey. Nurses can minimize loneliness and provide professional support to clients dealing with HIV and AIDS. (J Am Psycbiatr Nurses Assoc [2000]. 6 119-125.)

The diagnosis of multiple sclerosis: Peplau's Interpersonal Relations Model in practice.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, frequently progressive neurological disease of unknown etiology and uncertain trajectory. Physicians and nurses have historically been uncomfortable broaching the topic of a possible MS diagnosis with patients and have tended instead to talk about it in euphemistic terms. However, with the development of therapeutic agents that may be more effective early in the disease course, the early communication of diagnostic and treatment information has become increasingly important. In our MS clinic, individual with MS symptoms are rapidly referred and assessed by a team of experienced physicians and nurses. Our experience with this referral process has led to our adoption of Peplau's Interpersonal Relations Model as a guide to nursing practice. The central element of Peplau's model is the development of a therapeutic relationship between patient and nurse. This relationship develops through four overlapping stages: orientation, identification, exploitation, and resolution. The collaborative relationship that develops between nurse and patient enhances problem solving and creates a strong bond that is essential across the long trajectory of the illness.

Les télescopages Art/Science. Réflexions sur le réseau toulousain

Toulouse is the recognized site of an impact (or telescopage) between technological innovation and artistic creation. The field of action of this intermingling — illustrated by the existence of the two-yearly exhibition F.A.U.S.T. — intergrates with equal success music ; dance and choreography ; the plastic and visual arts ; literature ; the theatre arts and museology. The efficacy of this Art/Science interface, built on a model of interpersonal relations rather than that of the structured organigramme, is however limited by the relatively weak commitment of the actors in the networks thus set up.

Two Dimensions of Husband-Wife Interaction

A method of analyzing social interaction is proposed which: (a) delimits the number of categories by reference to previous work supporting a two-dimensional model of interpersonal relations, (b) uses a molar rather than molecular definition of the unit act, and (c) classifies each act on both dimensions. Data from husband-wife pairs are analyzed using this system. Patterns of both intra- and interpersonal action tendencies are noted.
