Lahure as a Transnational Subject in Daulat Bikram Bista’s Chapaiyeka Anuhar

This paper investigates Lahure as a transnational subject in Daulat Bikram Bista’s Chapaieka Anuhar (Chewed Faces) that portrays a Gorkha soldier’s mobility across national boundaries. The novel is about a Nepali youth’s narrative of his experiences during the Second World War, portraying the psychology of a lahure through his mental conflict between the ‘local’ and ‘global’. In particular, the novel revolves around the protagonist Ananta’s perceptions unfolding the Nepalis’ interactions with geographical, political, cultural, social, and economic realities abroad. The protagonist’s unprecedented encounter with strangers unravels his perception, assessment, and analogy between Nepal and Germany in particular and Asia and Europe in general. This paper, therefore, concludes that lahure is a transnational subject who sticks to his local identities on the one hand and blurs the traditional notions of identity and belonging on the other.

Ukrainian Identity of Vasyl Stus: the Concept of “Freedom” in the Movie “Prohibited”

Historical reactualization is a hallmark of the biofiction genre and a modern aesthetic tendency in art, that revolves around the reflection of political and social processes, which affect the common man of the 21st century. The scientific problem is the interpretation of history in art, the use of biography as a creative material in cinema and literature, the formation of reliable historical memory of Ukrainians, the debunking of "myths", overcoming post-colonial Ukrainian thinking, raising the issue of the consequences of ethnolinguistic nationalism. The aim is the underlining of the concepts “Freedom” and “Safety” in the film “Prohibited” 2019, the interpretation of the evolution Vasyl Stus artistic image in the biofiction “Prohibited” from “Unfreedom” to “Freedom” through “Danger”, the understanding of the conflict individual / power : artist / crowd. I propose to sharpen attention around the problem of ethnolinguistic nationalism through the mental conflict “Ukrainian” / “Russian”, in which the historical memory of the Ukrainian ethnos is revealed as an intellectual aspiration influenced by the experience /burden of 300 years of history. The biofiction of the life of Ukrainian poet Vasyl Stus, his ethical and moral position and aesthetic concept reveals the ethnic and cultural Ukrainian stratum, where the phenomenon of patriotism will be revealed at the level of the feeling “own”. Conflicts and characters uncover ideas: Vasyl Stus's love for his native land is his free choice, which reveals his individual virtues and prowess. In the pursuit of ethnic freedom, Vasyl Stus is revealed as having been defeated during his life, but gaining fame and recognition after his death. Vasyl Stus gave his life for: the development of Ukrainian literature, culture, art, and language. He is a patriot of “Ukrainian”. The poet's life is a version of art, it is wrapped around protest, around the non-acceptance by a talented individual of a totalitarian state, which suffocates and kills. Vasyl Stusy's steps are a resistance to Russian ethnolinguistic nationalism. The introduction of ethnolinguistic nationalism was imposed on everyone as the dominance Russian language, behind which is the discrimination of Ukrainians at the levels of: language, history, literature, culture, statehood.

Judges' Considerations In Implementing Criminal Sanctions To Persons Of The Crime For Forcing Children To Perform Abusive Actions (Decision Number: 150/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Gdt)

Abstract
 One example of the crime of forcing a child to commit obscene acts is based on Decision Number: 150/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Gdt which states that the Defendant Nuzul Hairi Bin Nurul Huda has been legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing a crime of committing violence and threats of forceful violence child commits obscene acts. Factors that cause perpetrators to commit crimes of forcing children to commit obscene acts based on Decision Number: 150/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Gdt are educational factors, environmental factors or place of residence. The criminal act of sexual intercourse with a child in the jurisdiction of the Pesawaran Resort Police is indicated by the process of development of culture and civilization. Displacement of norms of behavior in western cultural areas and studied as a mental conflict or as a clash of cultural values. Economic factor theory is fundamental to all social structures. Economic development in the jurisdiction of the Pesawaran Resort Police tends to be uneven, there are still many people who have not found work or are unemployed. This condition causes social deviations in society, such as the crime of sexual intercourse with a child in the jurisdiction of the Pesawaran Resort Police. The judge's considerations in applying criminal sanctions to perpetrators of the crime of forcing children to commit obscene acts based on Decision Number: 150/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Gdt consist of 2 (two) things, namely aggravating things and mitigating things. What was aggravating was that the actions of the defendant had damaged the future of the witness-victim, the parents of the witness-victim felt very objection to the actions of the defendant, and the actions of the defendant had violated religious norms. Meanwhile, the mitigating factors are that the defendant admits and regrets his actions and promises not to repeat his actions, and the defendant has never been punished.

Anxiety Caused by Too Many Cats in Bohumil Hrabal’s “All My Cats”

All My Cats is an autobiographical novel representing Hrabal’s fatal anxiety from the potential mental conflict with domesticated animals. This article examines the concept of anxiety and the potential for domesticated animals, in this example, cats, to exert agency and impact the lives of their owners in autobiographical literature. Bohumil Hrabal's All My Cats has been selected due to the prominence of literary signifiers of anxiety, his ambivalent attitude toward cats (love and hate) throughout the text, and Hrabal’s specific interpretation of what his cats did for him and to him in emotional terms. The methodology selected does not presuppose that cats, or animals in the broader sense, possess agency on an equal footing with humans. Rather, they can exist in an interdependent or collaborative state with humans. This may be seen as a form of an unwritten social contract between animals and humans in a domestic setting. In the case of Hrabal and his cats, his perception of his cats and what they attempt to communicate to him is most interesting in this regard, particularly when viewed through the lens of anxiety and the literary signifier.

Effects of Surroundings: A Psychoanalysis Critique of the Forty Rules of Love

The research deals with the psychological analysis of one of characters of Elif Shafak’s novel “The forty rules of Love”. The character that has been chosen for psychoanalysis is named as Ella. She is a forty years old woman who is suffering from a mental conflict and the reason being is the changing conditions around her. The research has been conducted by analyzing her character and her dialogues. The research is qualitative, keeping in view Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis, the character has been analyzed. The major focus has been on Freud’s theory of id, ego and superego. The novel deals with impending enigma in minds of people, the impact of the modern world on society and thoughts of people. This research deals with one aspect of it and that is existentialism. It is of great importance with respect to the 19th and 20th centuries because it highlights the inner psychology of person. The character of Ella is also a victim of sudden changing conditions around her. Majority of the modern writers have brought this topic into focus. After World War I and II, people went into chaos not only physically but mentally as well. The reason was a mere shift in their views about development, science and technology. As the century progressed, man invented many new ways for his protection. The one being invention of atomic bombs and guns. People thought of these inventions as their protection gods. After World War and especially the attacks on Hiroshima and Naga Saki, their gods turned into evil beings causing destruction to themselves rather than their enemies. This brought an immense change in the brains of people. When they lost their loved ones, their companions, their business and everything they had, they started questioning themselves. Who are they? Who is their creator? What is their nature? What do they live for? Why are they living? Where they would go after death? Is there any life after death? The character of Ella also became a victim to unexpected changing situations around her but within her family, and passing through traumatic condition. The research further opens the way for similar approaches to be used in other literary works.

A Randomised Controlled Trial on the Effect of Viewing the Event in Psychogenic non epileptic Events (S44.010)

Mental Conflict and Character Construction in "Egosentris" by Syahid Muhammad

This research examines how hate speech affects individuals and constructs the character of all ages. To explain the negative consequences that internet connections today have on people's mental health, this literature study makes an effort to analyse the psychological standpoint from which Syahid Muhammad's character Fatih is written in the novel Egosentris. This study employed literary psychology and Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory to analyse character development and inner struggle based on Nurgiyantoro's character theory (2007). Literature often references psychoanalytic theory's id, ego, and superego. The analysis included separating, categorising, interpreting, inferring, and verifying for accuracy. According to the study, Fatih is an empathetic, honest, self-aware, and critical character in Egosentris. Although it was found that Fatih's personality occasionally exhibited negative traits including stubbornness, spite, and a bad temper. The internal conflict that Fatih was going through is described in this article as involving his anger, fear, dread, remorse, pressure, and resentment. He has become more tolerant and gregarious as a result of his encounters with this kind of mental suffering. The study's conclusions, which are based on a psychological assessment of Fatih's personality, are intended to decrease the frequency of damaging speech and raise awareness of the need of paying attention to people's mental health.

ПСИХИЧЕСКИЕ РАССТРОЙСТВА ФРАНЦУЗСКИХ ЖЕНЩИН В ГОДЫ ПЕРВОЙ МИРОВОЙ ВОЙНЫ

The article deals with the problem of the mental health of French women during the First World War, which has not yet been covered in the Western historiographical tradition. The author considers cases of mental disorders caused or provoked by the state of hostilities, the social and stressful situation of the 1914–1918 conflict. The source base for the study was professional medical journals in the field of psychiatry and neurology, as well as publications of professional medical associations. The clinical cases identified by the author made it possible to identify and classify the main triggers of mental illness: the loss of a relative at the front, the events accompanying the state of occupation, the impact of propaganda. The author also traces the ways to resolve the mental conflict: in addition to inpatient treatment in psychiatric institutions, women who experienced the traumatic consequences of the First World War, found solace in occult practices, organizing communication with like-minded people, and alcohol abuse. The study is relevant in the context of the debatable issue of the etiology of mental disorders: at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries in European and Russian medicine, the discourse about degeneration dominated, as well as the idea of heredity as a source of mental illness of the population. According to some French researchers, the First World War called into question this conviction, forcing representatives of medical science to reconsider their views due to the admission of patients with no previous history of psychiatric diagnoses to specialized hospitals.

Social Structure and Reactions in the Works of Kanmani Gunasekaran

Literature is the instrument for recording the emotions of mankind. Human happiness and suffering are seen to be subject to the governance of society. Even the preferred sentiments are forgotten or made to be forgotten by society, which is the controlling instrument of every event in human life. Due to this, the man is affected psychologically. As a reaction to this, he suffers from mental conflict. Innovations are being created in Tamil focusing on this art. In this way, Kanmani Gunasekaran has become a remarkable person for creating novels that contain the miseries found in society.

Mental Partitioning and Explanations of Mental Conflict: An Investigation of Han Sources with Reference to Greek Psychology

This article examines the problem of mental partitioning and mental conflict in Han 漢 dynasty sources. It begins by outlining two Greek psychological models—the Platonic tripartite model and the Stoic monistic model—and explains the connection between the two psychological models and their differing descriptions of mental conflict. It then analyzes passages from a seldom discussed text, the Extended Reflections (Shenjian 申鑒), written by the Eastern Han thinker Xun Yue 荀悅. A combined analysis of the Extended Reflections with fragments from other Han dynasty thinkers uncovers debates on mental partitioning and mental conflict that are in some ways analogous to those found in Greek philosophical literature. One view posits that the human psyche is composed of two parts capable of producing conflicting motivations. The other view sees all actions as stemming from a single psychological center. The conclusions of this article offer new perspectives on early Chinese moral psychology that have important implications for modern research on early Chinese philosophy.

A Good Person Shouldn’t Feel This Way: Moralized Attitudes, Identity, and Self-Esteem

Moralized attitudes are the attitudes that people construe as matters of right and wrong. In this study, we examine how moralized attitudes relate to how people evaluate themselves using the Attitudes, Identities, and Individual Differences (AIID) dataset—a survey of over 200,000 individuals asked to report their attitudes in one of 95 domains. In pre-registered analyses that were based on exploratory analyses of a subset of the data, we found that the specific attitudes that people moralize differ greatly from individual to individual and that moralized attitudes are more central to one’s identity than non-moralized attitudes. We also examined whether mental conflict between identity-central attitudes and gut feelings about the corresponding attitude objects would be related to lower self-esteem, finding mixed and weak evidence supporting that claim. Together, our findings indicate that the attitudes that people moralize are tremendously diverse and are reliably connected to a sense of self. At the same time, peoples’ self-esteem may be resilient to specific instances in which their gut feelings fall short of the attitudes that are central to their identity.

Феномен двойничества в лирике С.Есенина и А.Блока

This article examines the problem of duality, characteristic of the mentality of Russian culture, especially intensified at critical moments of cultural and historical development. The general decline of the turn of the XIX-XX centuries, impermanence, and the aggravation of the mystical principle contribute to the strengthening of the phenomenon of duality in the cultural consciousness of the Russian spiritual and cultural Renaissance, primarily in the works of such poets as A.Blok and S.Yesenin. The purpose of the study is to determine the functions of the duality motif in the poetry of A.Blok and S.Yesenin, since the phenomenon of duality is an important feature of their artistic world. The authors pay special attention to the term «duality» itself, which is already emerging in folklore and developing in the subsequent cultural tradition. It is shown that in studies the double can be viewed both positively and negatively. The article pays considerable attention to the function of images and motives of duality in S.Yesenin's poetry. Based on the analysis of the poem «The Black Man», which is the most striking example of the embodiment of the theme of duality, as well as the involvement of a number of other lyrical works of the poet, where the duality of his inner world is also traced, it is established that the motive of the double in Yesenin has a demonic nature, therefore he often plays the role of the enemy of the lyrical hero. The author substantiates the idea that this is one of the most significant works, which can certainly be called the key to understanding the entire artistic world of Sergei Yesenin and his life as a whole. This article is also devoted to a comprehensive study of the problem of «duality» in the lyrics of A.Blok. In the artistic world of A.Blok, there is also a split of consciousness, a mental conflict of opposite sides, which causes the appearance of doubles. Duality in Blok's work is a phenomenon of the poet's personality formation. It is connected to a greater extent with the romantic orientation of the poet. His philosophy of the existence of «other worlds» is very similar to the idea of a romantic «two worlds» embodied in the works of A.Fet and V.Zhukovsky. As a result, the authors come to the conclusion that the embodiment of the duality motif in the poetry of S.Yesenin and A.Blok was much deeper and more contradictory than just the appearance of the image of a double in the text of the work. We can talk about the split consciousness of the personality of poets. In their work, there is a trace of the spiritual duality of the poets, generated by the painful need to understand themselves, the world around them, to find their place in this world.

Психобібліографія Богдана Ігоря Антонича: між материнським і батьківським світами

The article deals with Bohdan Ihor Antonych’s art phenomenon, in particular the factors and trends of his creative evolution. The psychoanalytical approach is helpful in revealing concealed psychical frameworks in the author’s (art) consciousness, and also the key role of Maternal and Paternal archetypical figures in Antonych’s artistic world and writing technique as well. According to the purpose of considering the evolution of B. I. Antonych’s works through the prism of his lyric subject’s Oedipus attraction to Maternal and/or Paternal figures, the concept of “psycho-bibliography” has been proposed. In this concept, the notions of “psychobiography” and “bibliography” are combined. As an experimental literary study field psycho-bibliography assumes projecting the artist's psychical evolution onto his oeuvre, in particular, onto the periodicity of the publication of his books. Despite the harmonious relationships in Antonych's family, his works have shown a confrontation with the Paternal figure caused by his challenged separation from the Maternal figure. Both lead to deep internal conflicts in the writer’s psyche. In the article, it has been defined the specifics of the Paternal and Maternal semantic codes’ implementation in the poetics of B. I. Antonych, has been deciphered the poetic code of their symbolization, as well as characterizes the mental fluctuations expressed in the lyrics between Maternal and Paternal figures as the basis of an alternative interpretive strategy of the artist's work. The B.-I. Antonych's debut collection "Greetings of Life" (1931), despite the dominant motives of travel, youth, and sports, contains a number of poems on the topic of creativity as a dangerous but inevitable vocation for the lyrical subject. For him, creativity is associated with maternal power. He perceived his own devotion to it as a betrayal of the parental authority. As a symbolic compensation for this "sin", the collection "Great Harmony" (1932-1933) has been written. "Great Harmony" is marked by the dominant motives of trust in God and his Guidance, by which the parental archetype is guessed. In the poetics of the next collection, "Three Rings" (1934), the maternal archetype is actualized again. The priority of maternal energy is expressed through the symbolic triad "Night"-"Nature"-"Song" ("Creativity"). The lyric hero is ready to dissolve in the maternal substance, although it can reinforce his fear of confrontation with the parental world, as well as the fear of losing himself in the maternal one. The yearning to reduce this fear had caused a compensatory attraction to the paternal substances Logos, Law, and Order - in the next collection "The Book of the Lion" (1935). The balancing of maternal and paternal energy determines the poetics of the last B. I. Antonych’s collections "Green Gospel" and "Rotation" (both were published after the author’s death in 1938). The motive of death as the end of the life cycle characterizes the resolution of the mental conflict and the completion of the poet's / his lyric subject’s psychical evolution. The psycho-bibliographical approach of rereading Antonych’s oeuvre expands its interpretative field. In the article, contrary to numerous Antonych’s biography studies, there is an attempt to explain the strange logic of noticed author’s mental and art “ambiguity”.

Family Foundations To promote parent mental health and family functioning during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia: A mixed methods evaluation

ABSTRACT Evidence-based family-based interventions targeting parent mental health and partner conflict during community-wide crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic are scarce. Family Foundations (FF), a 10-week couple/parent-based intervention targeting parent mental health, conflict and co-parenting was delivered via video-conferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to: (1) explore parents’ and clinicians’ experiences and perceived benefits of FF, and (2) assess pre–post intervention changes in parent mental health, interparental conflict and co-parenting behaviour. A mixed methods evaluation was conducted with 62 families with young children experiencing parent mental health difficulties and/or parental conflict. Qualitative interviews with parents and FF clinicians were conducted, and intervention outcomes were assessed using mother-report surveys. Maternal stress and anxiety symptoms decreased and co-parenting support and parenting warmth increased following FF. Parents expressed high satisfaction with FF despite the perceived limited cultural and family structure diversity in the videos. Although some activities were modified and clinicians were more directive in their style of delivery, FF was implemented with fidelity. Importantly, telehealth delivery made FF accessible to meet the needs of families during the pandemic when in-person services were not available. These findings will inform further development and evaluation of telehealth FF during community-wide crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Two Kinds of Mental Conflict in Republic IV

Abstract Plato’s partition argument infers that the soul has parts from the fact that the soul experiences mental conflict. Alasdair MacIntyre poses a dilemma for the argument that highlights an ambiguity in the concept of mental conflict. According to the first sense of conflict, a soul is in conflict when it has desires whose satisfaction conditions are logically incompatible. According to the second sense of conflict, a soul is in conflict when it has desires which are logically incompatible even when they are unsatisfied. The dilemma is therefore this: if the mental conflict is supposed to be the latter kind of conflict, then the partition argument is valid but is likely unsound; if it’s supposed to be the former kind, then the partition argument has true premises but is invalid. We explain this dilemma in detail and defend a dispositionalist solution to it.

Parent-child relationship in psychogenesis of female psychogenic infertility (psychoanalytic perspective)

Horney, D. Pines, T. Benedek, M. Bydlowski, F. Tyson and R. Tyson, K. Brisch. The object of this research is the phenomenon of psychogenic infertility in female development. The subject is the parent-child relationship in the context of women with psychogenic infertility. The article reveals the unspecified features of development of women with infertility: personality traits, leading mental conflicts, fixations, defense mechanisms, type of attachment, experience of object relationship. The article traces the dependence of woman&amp;rsquo;s reproductive function in symptom cluster of infertility on her psyche, as well as influence of object relationship and attachment pattern on the occurrence of mental conflicts that lead to infertility. The following possible factors of psychogenic infertility are determined: 1. Pathological fixation in the early infantile period. Inability to separate from the mother, 2. Inability to identify with the mother. 3. Infertility as defense against regression, i.e. fear to encounter internal conflicts. &amp;nbsp;4. Hatred and ambivalent attitude towards the mother. Unwillingness to pass on the &amp;ldquo;mandate of life&amp;rdquo;. &amp;nbsp;5. Confusion of identity, improper gender-role identification with the mother due to improper distribution of roles in family, disturbance of personal boundaries, &amp;nbsp;and pathological symbiosis. The article reveals similar prerequisites for the formation of psychogenic infertility: type of attachment, disturbance of early object relationship, leading mental conflict, basic defense, and the impact of transgenerational experience. Defensive strategies that are intended for coping with intense inner anxiety create an unconscious compromise between mental state and body, which leads to psychogenic infertility. &amp;nbsp;

Experiences of Nursing Students in the Care for Patients Diagnosed With COVID-19: A Qualitative Study.

The present study examined the experiences of nursing students in the care of patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This qualitative study was performed based on inductive qualitative content analysis in 2020. The samples were 10 nursing students who were selected purposively from the emergency and intensive care unit wards of hospitals affiliated with Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences in Iran. Data were collected through semistructured and individual interviews and analyzed simultaneously and continuously by Granheim and Landman inductive qualitative content analysis. Experiences of nursing students in the care for patients with COVID-19 include 3 main categories and 7 subcategories: (a) psychological stress (fear of ward and patients and mental conflict), (b) social isolation (rejection by the family and friends, isolation, and concealment of the workplace), and (c) coping strategies as an adaption strategy (a positive impact of spirituality and an effective role of increasing information). According to the findings of this study, the education system and university administrators can help reduce psychological stress and improve the quality of care in nursing students.
