Psychoanalysis, social science and the Tavistock tradition

This article is about the connections between the fields of sociology and psychoanalysis, as they have been present in the traditions of the Tavistock Clinic and Institute of Human Relations from their origins to the present day. It describes a ‘double dissonance’ in this relationship, in that the Tavistock’s commitment was never to psychoanalysis or to sociology, narrowly conceived. Its interest was in a broad conception of the social sciences, involving socio-psychological, socio-technical and ecological perspectives, and it developed a broader social engagement of psychoanalytic perspectives than that of a conventional psychoanalytic institute. Nevertheless, the Tavistock synthesis has been an original and valuable one. The Tavistock Institute’s model of research has been closely linked, through its consultancy practice, to social action, and it has investigated and initiated democratic forms of organisation. The Tavistock Clinic developed a model of mental health care and professional education within the National Health Service, which provided support to individuals, families and communities at each stage of the human life cycle. Although both of these models have been placed under pressure in the individualist and market-oriented climate of recent decades, both traditions survive and retain a potential for the future.

Impacto de la construcción de la identidad del adolescente sobre el establecimiento de conductas disfuncionales y en la generación de estrategias de afrontamiento

Pese a su importancia en el ciclo vital humano, se ha encontrado poca bibliografía acerca de cómo el desarrollo de la identidad influye en la aparición de conductas disfuncionales y estrategias de afrontamiento en la adolescencia. El objetivo del presente estudio es detectar si el desarrollo identitario influye en la generación de conductas problemáticas o protectoras en la adolescencia; y el peso de ciertas características individuales en dicha interacción. Para ello se evaluó de 36 adolescentes con una batería de test diseñada para el presente estudio. Los datos fueron analizados estadísticamente con modelos de correlación y regresión lineal múltiple. Se halló que el desarrollo identitario es un factor que influye en la generación tanto de conductas problemáticas como protectoras. Igualmente, ambos tipos de comportamientos fueron buenos predictores entre sí. El autoconcepto y la personalidad también influyen; hasta el punto de ser más explicativos que la propia identidad. Se descartó la escala de Dweck como factor intermediario en dichas relaciones. En definitiva, se concluyó que la identidad influye en la generación de conductas problemáticas y protectoras; pero otros factores fueron ser más explicativos. Los resultados sugieren que, durante la adolescencia, periodo de transición y cambio, prevalece el contenido de las impresiones propias o los rasgos de personalidad para definir a la persona, antes que la madurez identitaria.

Health workers are expected to be able to spend time giving counseling about complementary feeding practice regularly so that the goal of counseling at the public health center can be achieved.

The "life code": A theory that unifies the human life cycle and the origin of human tumors.

Tumors arise from the transformation of normal stem cells or mature somatic cells. Intriguingly, two types of tumors have been observed by pathologists for centuries: well-differentiated tumors and undifferentiated tumors. Well-differentiated tumors are architecturally similar to the tissues from which they originate, whereas undifferentiated tumors exhibit high nuclear atypia and do not resemble their tissue of origin. The relationship between these two tumor types and the human life cycle has not been clear. Here I propose a unifying theory that explains the processes of transformation of both tumor types with our life cycle. Human life starts with fertilization of an egg by a sperm to form a zygote. The zygote undergoes successive rounds of cleavage division to form blastomeres within the zona pellucida, with progressive decreases in cell size, and the cleaved blastomeres then compact to form a 32-cell or a "64n" morula [n = 1 full set of chromosomes]. Thus early embryogenesis can be interpreted as a progressive increase in ploidy, and if the zona pellucida is considered a cell membrane and cleavage is interpreted as endomitosis, then the 32-cell morula can be considered a multinucleated giant cell (or 64n syncytium). The decrease in cell size is accompanied by an increase in the nuclear-to-cytoplasmic (N/C) ratio, which then selectively activates a combined set of embryonic transcription factors that dedifferentiate the parental genome to a zygotic genome. This process is associated with a morphologic transition from a morula to a blastocyst and formation of an inner cell mass that gives rise to a new embryonic life. If the subsequent differentiation proceeds to complete maturation, then a normal life results. However, if differentiation is blocked at any point along the continuum of primordial germ cell to embryonic maturation to fetal organ maturation, a well-differentiated tumor will develop. Depending on the level of developmental hierarchy at which the stem cell differentiation is blocked, the resulting tumor can range from highly malignant to benign. Undifferentiated tumors are derived from mature somatic cells through dedifferentiation via a recently described reprogramming mechanism named the giant cell life cycle or the giant cell cycle. This mechanism can initiate "somatic embryogenesis" via an increase in ploidy ranging from 4n to 64n or more, similar to that in normal embryogenesis. This dedifferentiation mechanism is initiated through an endocycle and is followed by endomitosis, which leads to the formation of mononucleated or multinucleated polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs), that is, cancer stem-like cells that mimic the blastomere-stage embryo. The giant cell life cycle leads to progressive increases in the N/C ratio and awakens the suppressed embryonic reprogram, resulting in mature somatic transformation into undifferentiated tumors. Thus, the increase in ploidy explains not only normal embryogenesis for well-differentiated tumors but also "somatic embryogenesis" for undifferentiated tumors. I refer to this ploidy increase as the 'life code". The concept of the "life code" may provide a simple theoretical framework to guide our immense efforts to understand cancer and fight this disease.

Cultural Value Factors That Affect Mother and Child Health

<p>Mother and child health as a key indicator of community welfare is measured by the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR). But why have efforts to reduce MMR and IMR not yet reached the target? This research answers this question by using an approach of cultural values in mother and child health. The focus of this research is on the human life cycle starting from marriage, pregnancy, birth and death in Situbondo Regency, East Java and Ngada Regency, NTT. Research has found four cultural elements that predominantly influence health beliefs, family and community decisions in dealing with maternal and infant health problems. These cultural elements are the religious system, the kinship system, the knowledge system and the livelihood system. These four systems can increase or decrease the risk of maternal and infant mortality. The government must consider the cultural values of the community in making health policies. First, strengthen factors that reduce the risk of maternal and child mortality. Second, reduce the factors that increase the risk of maternal and child mortality.</p>

Life-LCA: assessing the environmental impacts of a human being—challenges and perspectives

The life-cycle assessment (LCA) method is typically applied to products, but the potential and demand for extending its use also to other applications are high. In this respect, this paper proposes an LCA concept to be used for the assessment of human beings as new study objects, namely Life-LCA. Key challenges of such a new approach and potential solutions for those are identified and discussed. The Life-LCA concept was developed based on a detailed desktop research. Several Life-LCA-specific challenges were identified and categorized under three research questions. One of these questions focusses on the conceptual design of a Life-LCA method while the others are addressing operational issues, which are the definition of the new study system and the practical assessment of complex human consumption behaviors. Methodological solutions are proposed, e.g., based on suggestions provided in the existing methods product LCA and organizational LCA (O-LCA). Conceptual challenges arise from the general diversity, complexity, and temporal development of human lives and consumption behaviors. We introduce Life-LCA as a two-dimensional method that covers both, the new human life cycle (dimension 1) and the life cycle of the consumed products (dimension 2). Furthermore, the two types Individual Life-LCA and Lifestyle-LCA are differentiated. Especially, the definition of a general system boundary for Life-LCA and data collection and evaluation face many operational challenges. For example, the social behavior of human beings is a new factor to be considered which causes new allocation problems in LCA. Moreover, the high demand for aggregated LCA data requires specific rules for data collection and evaluation as well as a new bottom-up product clustering scheme. Life-LCA, either used for the assessment of individual lives or lifestyles, has the potential to raise environmental awareness of people by making their specific environmental impacts comprehensively measurable and thus, tangible. However, many challenges need to be solved in future interdisciplinary research to develop a robust and applicable method. This paper conceptualizes such an approach and proposes solutions that can serve as a framework for ongoing method development.

Mathematical Model for Locating a Pre-Positioned Warehouse and for Calculating Inventory Levels

A mixed integer non-linear mathematical model is proposed to efficiently provision necessary supplies for the dignified survival of people affected by hydrometeorological disasters that are usually experienced in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. In the context of damages to property and infrastructure in the municipalities affected by such natural disasters and to develop resilience, a model that combines the problem of locating facilities with the problem of determining inventory levels for uncertain demand is developed, facilitating the timely supply of survival kits. The number of survival kits required is determined according to the needs of the affected people in terms of food products, equipment, water, and medicine. Requirements for food products and equipment are based on the human life cycle, from the stages of early childhood until old age; those for water and medicine on total demand. The model is tested in the Capital Region, one of the ten regions within Veracruz, because the municipalities that comprise the region have experienced numerous declarations of emergency registered in the Natural Disasters Fund. The Capital Region comprises 33 municipalities, 17 of which have experienced this type of declaration in 2016. Therefore, our model has been developed to determine the optimal location of a pre-positioned warehouse in the Naolinco municipality, including the optimal levels of inventory that would satisfy 99% of the affected population in this region. Our model can serve as a tool through which individuals involved in the decision-making process can select the locations that have not been impacted by the hydrometeorological events, including pre-positioned warehouses that in turn safely store the survival kits. This model can be utilized not only in Mexico but in any part of the world by individuals involved in the decision-making process associated with providing relief to affected people.

Disproportionate impact of radiation and radiation regulation

ABSTRACTReference Man is used for generic evaluation of ionizing radiation impacts, regulation, and nuclear licensing decisions made by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (US NRC). The United States Code of Federal Regulations, 2018 edition, Chapter 10: Part 20 ‘Standards for Protection Against Radiation’ contains eight references to ‘reference man’ as the basis for regulation and calculation of radiation exposure. The document was accessed January 9, 2019 (https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2018-title10-vol1/pdf/CFR-2018-title10-vol1-part20.pdf). Findings from 60 years of A-bomb survivor data show that Reference Man does not represent the human life cycle with respect to harm from radiation exposure. Findings reported here show females are more harmed by radiation, particularly when exposed as young girls, than is predicted by use of Reference Man; the difference is a much as 10-fold. Since females have been ignored in regulatory analysis, this has resulted in systematic under-reporting of harm from ionizing radiation exposure in the global population. A critique is also offered on the US Environmental Protection Agency’s attempt to include females in its regulation. Recommendations for interim regulation to provide better protection, and questions for further study are offered.
