Objective The study was to explore the roles of personality characteristics of different genders and analyze the risk factors of quality of life (QOL) analysis in suicide among depressive patients. Methods One hundred and eighty-six depressive patients from January 2018 to March 2019 in the Department of Psychiatry of our hospital were enrolled and divided into Groups A and B considering whether they had a suicidal tendency or not. Among them, 90 in Group A had a suicidal tendency and consisted of 42 males and 48 females, while 96 in Group B had no suicidal tendency and consisted of 44 males and 52 females. Forward and backward selection and then backward selection were performed on all the variables of gender characteristic factors and QOL factors that may cause suicide, on which stepwise regression was finally conducted. Next, univariate logistic regression analysis was first performed to select important variables from the related risk factors that may cause suicide, and then, the multivariate logistic regression model was used to select important independent risk factors. Results and Conclusion. The age of onset, degree of anxiety, moral support, positive mental attitude, and family independence were the independent risk factors that may cause a suicidal tendency for male depressive patients. The age of onset, degree of anxiety, negative life events, moral support, positive mental attitude, family intimacy, psychoticism, and neuroticism were the independent risk factors for female depressive patients. Physiological function, role physical, bodily pain, social function, and emotional role in QOL may be the independent risk factors for a suicidal tendency.

Customized protocol for psychological management of a patient with residual maxillofacial defects

: Maxillofacial surgeons and Prosthodontist deal with rehabilitation of defects of orofacial region but understanding the mental attitude of patients is often ignored or neglected. Success of any prosthesis relies on patient’s compliance and motivation to adjust and cope up with irreversible loss. Evaluation of psychological distress and management of the same is of utmost importance. Literature is deficit with an elaborate systematic classification system to evaluate the impact of maxillofacial defect on the psychological status of patients and role of therapy on improvement post-rehabilitation.: Am of this study is to propose a customized comprehensive protocol for evaluation of psychological status using ICD-11 classification system before and after maxillofacial prosthetic intervention and impact of psychological management tools on the same.: Ten patients with maxillofacial defects reporting for prosthetic rehabilitation were selected. Psychological evaluation tool, ICD-11 classification system was applied pre and post rehabilitation by two independent observers. Customized psychological management protocol was formulated and implemented to note the impact on overall improvement in psychological status of the patient.: Patients with severe personality trait showed varied levels of improvement ranging from no change to mild. Five patients with moderate personality trait showed improvement and change in personality trait to mild on implementation of psychological tools. Statistical evaluation could not be done due to multitude of subjective variables.: ICD-11 can be used as a successful tool for psychological evaluation of patients. Necessary intervention at every level in form of family support, support groups, psychological therapeutic modalities and therapies can improve status of the patient. A well-structured management protocol helps in early recognition of psychological distress and systematic management of the same to improve clinical outcome of the rehabilitation procedure.: Patients with maxillofacial defects experience a progressive cycle of loss and grief. This diminishes their ability to adjust to stress and acceptability towards maxillofacial prosthetic rehabilitation procedure. Assessment of psychological alteration using a standardized classification system and utilization of therapeutic modalities to deal with the same helps in successful rehabilitation and restoration of patient in the society as a whole.

Quality of Life Determinants in Professional Athletes.

BackgroundThe study attempted to answer the question of whether the type of practiced sport (individual, team) is a determinant of quality of life in athletes. The study was also intended to identify the best quality of life determinants in professional karate practitioners and team sports players from among such socio-cultural factors as age, gender, marital status, material situation, level of education, and types of health behaviors.MethodsThe study involved 110 Polish players of team sports and 90 martial arts practitioners. All competitors had high sporting achievements. A Paper-and-Pen Interview questionnaire was used as a standardized survey method. The Inventory of Health Behaviors was used to evaluate respondents’ health behaviors. The Comprehensive Quality of Life Scale was used to measure the quality of life in its objective and subjective components.ResultsAmong the predictors of quality of life, only three proved to be statistically significant: proper dietary habits (β = 0.204), positive mental attitude (β = 0.283) and athletes’ gender (β = 0.191). It turns out that men are statistically more likely to achieve a higher quality of life than women. The type of practiced sport did not turn out to be a quality of life determinant.ConclusionThe type of practiced sport is not a significant quality of life predictor, perhaps because high-level sports activities are professional in nature, which makes the professional and sports activities uniform. The results of the study may suggest that the determinants of the quality of life of professional athletes are found in their personality rather than solely in their socio-cultural environment. Finally, studies of determinants of athletes’ quality of life can help develop optimal strategies for improving the quality of life in society in general; however, in-depth qualitative research also seems to be necessary to do it.

Offense of organizing illegal migration: subjective side of the offense in relation to the victim’s consent

The prosecution of a person who has committed a prejudicial act is a priority of the state to protect a public interest, or to defend a fundamental right for which the state has commitments to respect. This article identifies the mental attitude of the subject of the crime towards the prejudicial act of organizing illegal migration. The article also elucidates the extent to which the migrant, who is the victim of the crime, is directed by the perpetrator. Also, attention is drawn to the purpose and motive of the crime. In the same context, it is analyzed what impact the victim’s consent has on the commission of the crime. In the author’s opinion, the analysis of the organization of illegal migration through the prism of its distinct elements plays a fundamental role for the legislation of the Republic of Moldova. It is concluded that the Moldovan legislator must introduce in the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova the phrase “migrants’ trafficking”, in exchange for the current one of “organizing illegal migration”. This conclusion is based on the social requirement to protect the rights and interests of migrants. Thus, the Moldovan authorities will be able to identify the authentic purpose pursued by the perpetrator when violating human values and freedoms (the authorities will make a clear distinction between trafficking of human beings and trafficking of migrants).

Stigma Attitudes Towards People with Mental Illness among Professionals Working in a Psychiatric Hospital

Introduction: Mental illness stigma studies demonstrate the presence of stigmatizing attitudes towards people with mental illness both by the public and health professionals. This study aimed to analyze the attitudes of professionals working at a Portuguese psychiatric hospital towards people with mental illness. Material and Methods: A cross‑sectional observational study was conducted to examine the attitudes of professionals through application of Mental Illness Clinician Attitude Scale (MICA) and collection of sociodemographic data. Results: Scores of MICA questionnaire were significantly lower than the cut‑off point for negative attitude in general and across professional categories suggesting that overall professionals seem to manifest a positive attitude towards people with mental illness. There was a trend of decrease in MICA scores throughout increasing years of professional experience although not statistically significant. Conclusion: Our results do not contradict the need to continue fighting stigma, but instead to better evaluate how these attitudes translate into practice, by including behavioral outcomes in future research.

Thinking as a positive mental attitude

In this article, we want to argue that positive thinking is a human attitude towards the surrounding reality. In the literature, the power of positive thinking has been known since ancient times. Recent research shows that people with positive thinking do better in difficult situations, have a greater capacity for physical and intellectual effort, cope better in stressful situations and are better able to achieve superior results than others with similar skills are. It is positive thinking that transforms, renews, and reshapes human behavior.

Objective and Subjective Determinants of Neighborhood Satisfaction in the Context of Retrofitting Suburbs

A strong preference for suburban living has led to extensively developed suburbs that need retrofitting by improving their compactness. However, an attempt to make suburban areas more sustainable only by shaping their spatial form, without considering individual demands and preferences, is usually ineffective. The aim of this research is to better understand the factors that are important for suburban neighborhood satisfaction and to determine the relationship between neighborhood satisfaction and both the objective spatial attributes reflecting different levels of spatial chaos and satisfaction with particular neighborhood characteristics. The factor analysis and a linear multiple regression model have revealed that there are four significant subjective factors explaining neighborhood satisfaction, namely: assessed suburban assets, assessed accessibility, assessed walkability, and assessed mental and social attitude towards the neighborhood. Among these, the assessed accessibility is the most important predictor of the neighborhood satisfaction and synthetic indicator of spatial chaos the least significant one. Although the research proved that subjective measures are more important determinants of neighborhood satisfaction, fighting urban sprawl should be based on the interference in both subjective evaluations and objective spatial attributes, since two of the four subjective factors are likely to be strongly influenced by improving accessibility in the process of retrofitting suburbs.

Problematic issues of subjective attitude of the guilty party to qualifying objective fea- tures of a criminal offense’s corpus delicti

The paper is focused on the problem of the mental attitude of a person to the objective features of a criminal offense’s corpus delicti, which aggravate criminal liability. Particular attention is paid to the mental attitude of the guilty party to qualifying features that are objective in nature. They include the particular features of the victim (age, occupation), the object (cost, size), objective aspect (generally dangerous method, special place of encroachment), consequences (severe consequences, significant damage, death of a human being). It is substantiated that the prin-ciple of subjective attitude to the guilt requires in the criminal law of Ukraine that the subjective assessment of the guilty party should be extended to such circumstances that aggravate criminal liability (qualifying features). The criminal legislation and a number of monographic works of modern Ukrainian experts in criminal law have been analyzed. The approaches of the legislator and representatives of the criminal and legal doctrine on the options of the subjective attitude of the offender to the objective qualifying features of encroachment sufficient to prosecute him, have been revealed. The author has found out the following tendencies in the field of legislative regulation and professional theoretical interpretation of the subjective attitude of the perpetrator to the qualifying features of criminal offenses, which have the objective nature: a) selectivity and fragmentation of the research of the specified issue; b) the lack of stable judicial practice, which would serve as an authoritative guide in solving the specified problem; c) the presence of debatable points of view in regard to the same qualifying features; d) uncertainty of experts regarding the content of the subjective attitude of the perpetrator to many typical aggravating (qualifying) circumstances; e) unsatisfactory legal regulation of the issue on admissible options of the mental attitude of the perpetrator to the qualifying features; f) unsuitability for the direct application of the formulas of guilt and its forms to the solution of the specified issue.

Quality of diet, health behaviours, and level of physical activity in physical education students from Poland and Spain

Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyse the relationships of healthy diet indices (pHDI-10 and nHDI-14) with the level of physical activity and health behaviours among Polish and Spanish physical education students. Material and methods: Research was conducted among 499 students (219 from Poland and 280 from Spain). Three standardised research tools were used: the Dietary Habits and Nutrition Beliefs Questionnaire (Kom-PAN), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and the Health Behaviour Inventory (HBI) by Z. Juczyński. Pearson’s r correlation coefficient and moderation analysis using IBM SPSS 21 software were used to determine relationships between variables. The level of significance was set at p = 0.05. Results: In the group of students studied, the healthy diet index (pHDI-10) evaluated on a scale of 0 to 100 was 23.23 points, while the unhealthy diet index (nHDI-14) was 14.47 points. Among the categories of health behaviours, students obtained the highest scores for a positive mental attitude, whereas among the domains of physical activity – for vigorous exercise. The analysis demonstrated a significant positive relationship between the pHDI-10 index and moderate physical activity (p = 0.038), and between the nHDI-14 index and walking (p < 0.001). Along with the increase in the pHDI-10 index, an increase was found in the level of preventive behaviours (p = 0.001), proper eating habits (p < 0.001), and the general index of health behaviours (p < 0.001). Significant negative correlations were found between the nHDI-14 and: the level of positive mental attitudes (p < 0.001), preventive behaviours (p = 0.010), proper eating habits, health practices, and the general index of health behaviours (p < 0.001). An increase in the healthy diet index along with a decrease in the general index of health behaviours (HBI Total) was also noted, but only in Polish students (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Low levels of healthy (pHDI-10) and unhealthy diet (nHDI-14) indices, a high level of physical activity, differentiation of individual categories of health behaviours, significant relationships between healthy diet indices, and the level of certain domains of physical activity and health behaviours were demonstrated. A moderate effect of the country of residence on some relationships was also found.

KIPRAH KOPERASI SYARIAH DALAM MENGELOLA PASAR TRADISIONAL MENURUT PERATURAN MENTERI KOPERASI DAN USAHA KECIL DAN MENENGAH NOMOR : 11/PER/M.KUKM/XII/2017

Today's sharia cooperatives have begun to show a very positive view among the community, where the mindset is built that by adhering to sharia principles there will be no element of usury in running their business so that people feel safer if they join cooperatives. Traditional market management by sharia cooperatives will be much more useful and make it easier for members to obtain business capital loans in the form of sharia concepts. With the issuance of this cooperative ministerial regulation which will regulate savings and loan business activities and sharia financing, it will foster the passion of traditional markets because market traders will be helped directly from the financing aspect in carrying out their business activities. Sharia savings and loan and financing activities by sharia cooperatives will encourage the openness of the mental attitude of traders who feel protected from usury behavior and will get blessings for any business profits obtained, if this is embedded in the mindset of every market trader then it is only natural that the market will advance and the community will be spared from business patterns that contain usury element. Traditional markets under the management of sharia cooperatives sooner or later the community paradigm will wake up that traditional market activities will change the designation to the term sharia market. The regulation of the minister of cooperatives and small and medium enterprises number: 11/Per/M.KUKM/XII/2017 concerning the implementation of savings and loan business activities and sharia financing by cooperatives has provided a very significant space for traditional market traders in running their business.

Direct and indirect links between children’s socio-economic status and education: pathways via mental health, attitude, and cognition

A child’s socio-economic environment can profoundly affect their development. While existing literature focusses on simplified metrics and pair-wise relations between few variables, we aimed to capture complex interrelationships between several relevant domains using a broad assessment of 519 children aged 7–9 years. Our analyses comprised three multivariate techniques that complimented each other, and worked at different levels of granularity. First, an exploratory factor analysis (principal component analysis followed by varimax rotation) revealed that our sample varied along continuous dimensions of cognition, attitude and mental health (from parallel analysis); with potentially emerging dimensions speed and socio-economic status (passed Kaiser’s criterion). Second, k-means cluster analysis showed that children did not group into discrete phenotypes. Third, a network analysis on the basis of bootstrapped partial correlations (confirmed by both cross-validated LASSO and multiple comparisons correction of binarised connection probabilities) uncovered how our developmental measures interconnected: educational outcomes (reading and maths fluency) were directly related to cognition (short-term memory, number sense, processing speed, inhibition). By contrast, mental health (anxiety and depression symptoms) and attitudes (conscientiousness, grit, growth mindset) showed indirect relationships with educational outcomes via cognition. Finally, socio-economic factors (neighbourhood deprivation, family affluence) related directly to educational outcomes, cognition, mental health, and even grit. In sum, cognition is a central cog through which mental health and attitude relate to educational outcomes. However, through direct relations with all components of developmental outcomes, socio-economic status acts as a great ‘unequaliser’.

Propositionalism and Questions that do not have Correct Answers

As the label suggests, according to propositionalism, each intentional mental state, attitude or event is or involves a relation to a proposition. In this paper, I will discuss a case that seems prima facie not to be accountable for by propositionalism. After having presented the case, I will show why it is different from others that have been discussed in the literature as able to show that propositionalism cannot be correct. I will then consider what the propositionalist can say to fix the problem and I will show that no strategy that is genuinely propositionalist seems promising. I will not conclude that propositionalism is doomed. But I will show that if propositionalism can account for our case at all, it can only do so by losing its main appeal, i.e. its elegance and simplicity. But then propositionalism seems to have lost its advantage with respect to its obvious alternative, i.e. a pluralist account according to which mental states, attitudes and events are not all homogeneously relations to propositions, but rather our mental life should be accounted for in terms of a plurality of kinds of relata.

Agency and the Successive Structure of Time-Consciousness

I argue for constraining the nomological possibility space of temporal experiences and endorsing the Succession Requirement for agents. The Succession Requirement holds that the basic structure of temporal experience must be successive for agentive subjects, at least in worlds that are law-like in the same way as ours. I aim to establish the Succession Requirement by showing non-successively experiencing agents are not possible for three main reasons, namely that they (1) fail to stand in the right sort of causal relationship to the outcomes of their actions, (2) exhibit the wrong sort of epistemic status for agency, and (3) lack the requisite agentive mental attitude of intentionality. I conclude that agency is incompatible with non-successive experience and therefore we should view the successive temporal structure of experience as a necessary condition for agency. I also suggest that the Succession Requirement may actually extend beyond my main focus on agency, offering preliminary considerations in favor of seeing successive experience as a precondition for selfhood as well. The consequences of the Succession Requirement are wide-ranging, and I discuss various implications for our understanding of agency, the self, time consciousness, and theology, among other things.
