Strategies of Social Persuasion Against Hussitism

This contribution investigates the different strategies and methods of cultural and social persuasion against the Hussite reformation employed by an important member of the University of Vienna, Peter of Pirchenwart (d. 1436). During his career he used various oral and written means against the “new” heresy: sermons to the people, university lectures, theological commentaries, and short treatise. Different types of audiences were targeted in two cultural centres and key sites of anti-Hussite propaganda in the city of Vienna: the Faculty of Theology and St Stephen’s Church, both connected to the Ducal Court. Here I am going to discuss five unedited texts produced by him: the commentary on the Book IV of the Sentences; the biblical commentary on the Gospel of John, containing two anti-heretic sections, one of which is known to the catalogues under the eloquent title of De religione militari contra Hussitas; the short treatise Determinatio contra Hussitas; and two sermons delivered in 1423 and 1431. In these texts, the dimension of violence (both verbal and physical) is present as a recurring motif and substantial theme; one of Pirchenwart’s primary aims, in fact, is precisely to justify the extermination of heretics, without any form of negotiation or dialogue. Through these case studies I will highlight some of the ways in which the heresy was addressed locally (the city of Vienna), at the intersection of intellectual production and the construction of the collective imaginary.

Unveiling the influence of persuasion strategies on cognitive engagement: an ERPs study on attentional search.

This study aimed to investigate how central versus peripheral persuasion methods, delivered through rational and emotional persuasion strategies, influence cognitive engagement and information processing during visual search tasks. Participants were allocated into four groups based on the media type (video vs. text) and the persuasion route (central vs. peripheral). The early and late stages of attentional processing were examined through the N1, P2, and P3 ERP components. The results demonstrated a pronounced N1 amplitude in response to text-based peripheral persuasion, indicating enhanced early attentional engagement. Additionally, parallel search tasks revealed a larger P3 amplitude for central versus peripheral routes, suggesting significant cognitive resource allocation during tasks requiring higher attention. These findings underscore the nuanced role of persuasive strategies in modulating attentional resources and cognitive processing. The study offers insights into designing more effective communication messages and highlights the potential for tailored persuasion approaches to influence audience engagement and information processing, with implications for public health campaigns and beyond.

The notion and practice of psychotherapy in Polish psychiatry of the interwar period. Part 2.

The paper further explores the development of psychotherapy in Polish psychiatry in the interwar period. Jaroszyński attempted to sketch out the idea of "emotional psychotherapy". Stryjeński organized a counseling clinic for the mentally ill, using psychotherapy as one of the means of treatment. Bilikiewicz developed oneiroanalysis - a psychotherapeutic method of dream analysis based on modifications of psychoanalysis. Gottliebowa advocated for the use of psychoanalytically influenced psychotherapy in the gynaecologist practice. Markuszewicz considered psychoanalysis the only psychotherapeutic modality aimed at unearthing the real causes of mental illnesses. Henryk Higier proposed to consider psychoanalysis practically as a method of psychotherapy and saw its heterogeneity as its advantage. Critical views on psychoanalysis as a psychotherapeutic method were delivered by Wirszubski and Mikulski. In general, psychotherapy in Polish psychiatry of the interwar period was highly influenced by psychoanalysis. Moreover, the understanding and practice of psychotherapy in public psychiatric facilities differed from that in private practice. In public psychiatric facilities, it was used mainly to deal with psychoses, so it urged clinicians to modify the classic psychoanalytic approach. In private practice, psychiatrists were dealing mainly with cases of neuroses and therefore could apply standard psychoanalytic procedures. Methods of suggestion, persuasion and hypnosis, characteristic of nineteenth-century psychotherapy, were still in use in Polish psychiatry of the interwar period. The main obstacles to the development of Polish psychotherapy in the interwar period were antisemitic attitudes contributing to hostility towards psychoanalysis, as well as the biological orientation of the majority of the Polish psychiatric society.

Losing the Battle and Awareness of Unveiling the Postcolonial Struggle Against Western Philosophical Hegemony in Indonesian Aesthetic Textbooks

Objective: The objective of this research is to explore the hegemonic construction of Western philosophical concepts in Indonesian aesthetic textbooks, the methods of their construction, and the factors reinforcing this hegemony. Theoretical Framework: In this topic, can be analyzed through key postcolonial and orientalist frameworks, including Edward Said's concept of orientalism, which examines how Western discourses construct and dominate Eastern identities. Method: This study employs a qualitative research methodology with a naturalistic paradigm, utilizing a hermeneutic approach and descriptive qualitative analysis based on the Miles and Huberman model. Results and Discussion: The results show that Western hegemony is evident in the content of aesthetics textbooks in Indonesia, both in the substantive content domain of the subject matter and the figures. This hegemonic construction is propagated through persuasive methods. The enduring nature of Western-biased knowledge construction, mainly fuelled by the orientalist-postcolonial system, significantly reinforces this hegemony. Therefore, this research underlines the scenario of culture losing the battle and especially the effort to build awareness of unveiling the struggle to overcome the dominance of Western philosophy that is permeating Indonesian aesthetic education. Research Implications: The study reveals that Indonesian aesthetic textbooks heavily feature Western philosophical concepts, constructed, and reinforced through persuasive, non-coercive methods. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, it uncovers that Western hegemony is evident both substantively and in the representation of key figures within these textbooks. This enduring Western bias, perpetuated by orientalist systems, significantly influences Indonesian aesthetic education, highlighting the deep-rooted nature of this hegemonic knowledge construction. Originality/Value: This study offers original insights into the pervasive influence of Western philosophical concepts in Indonesian aesthetic textbooks, highlighting their construction and reinforcement through persuasive methods rather than coercion. Employing a qualitative methodology with a hermeneutic approach and descriptive analysis, it uncovers the substantive and figure-level dominance of Western ideas, driven by orientalist systems. This research contributes valuable understanding of the enduring nature of Western-biased knowledge construction in Indonesian aesthetic education, emphasizing the need for a critical re-evaluation of curricular content.

NOTHING NEW IN MARKETING COMMUNICATION OF E-CIGARETTES – THE NEW WAVE OF FAKE NEWS

The tobacco industry is using the same methods of persuasion as they were doing since the start of advertising cigarettes and other tobacco products in 1914. Producers of tobacco products have been accused of spreading misinformation and fake news since the 1980. Main objective of our paper is to describe the evolution of “fake” marketing communication, especially of e-cigarettes - lately the deceptive strategies of e-tobacco companies in their advertising campaigns, where they minimize the dangers of smoking and portray it as a beneficial or attractive practice are coming under the control of the relevant institutions. Since the e-tobacco companies are using all the modern means and platforms of communication, especially young generations are quite successfully targeted. Results of desk research will be presented as well as some of the activities performed by state owned, and private institutions aimed to prevent harmful and shameless spreading of this conflicting information.

IDENTITY POLITICS IN PROGRESS: A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF SYAFII MAARIF’S IDEAS

In Indonesia’s political landscape, there is a current tension between identity politics and populist ideologies. Identity politics is a broad term used to describe political movements and actions related to religious identities and institutions, particularly in an Islamic setting. However, it raises concern about how we will investigate identity politics as part of a contextual, constituent-based approach to politics. The current study investigates Syafii Maarif’s political views. By employing a social hermeneutic approach and interpretive methodologies, this thought is elaborated in this study. The investigation reveals three primary elements of identity politics based on Maarif’s analysis: 1) ethnicity, 2) religion, and 3) political ideology. According to Maarif, any political activity that has these three characteristics is intrinsically saturated with identity politics. As a result, Muslim politics are often limited and narrowly defined. To address this constraint, the findings of this study advocate the actualization of the notion of identity politics to make space for populist politics. While religion, ethnicity, and political ideology coexist, a populist approach is still relevant in Islamic politics, persuasion methods, and specific constituency-based political connections.

Moreover, the results indicated that the most frequently persuasive strategies used by the Arab leaders are pathos and ethos strategies. Of the three strategies, it could be observed that logos and ethos strategies were the most employed by non-Arab in their speeches.

Moral persuasion for value-laden objections to human papillomavirus vaccination

The martial art of jiu jitsu capitalizes on the strength of a sparring partner by redirecting their momentum. Jiu jitsu persuasion similarly redirects the concerns motivating an objection in a manner that undermines the objection. This method of persuasion effectively addresses criticisms that motivate vaccine hesitancy, including moral criticisms. Critics argue that human papillomavirus vaccination causes young women to become more promiscuous. Evidence undermines this objection, but such evidence fails to persuade many objectors because of countervailing moral concerns regarding promiscuity. Healthcare professionals, therefore, need to consider supplementing evidence with moral arguments against the objection, using a framework that appeals to the core values motivating vaccine objections. A jiu jitsu model of persuasion is one such framework. By employing a jiu jitsu model healthcare professionals can facilitate collaborative, normative discussion that persuades more objectors and fulfills healthcare professionals’ obligations with respect to patient care vis-à-vis vaccination.

Recruiting carers for older children and youth: Messages and methods of media campaigns

In recent decades, foster care systems across western countries have entered a state of crisis with the volume of children entering care outpacing new foster carers. Recruiting carers for older children and youth is particularly challenging, as most new foster carers and adoptive parents prefer younger children. This study reviews out-of-home care recruitment campaigns that target carers for older children and youth, across selected English-speaking countries. A total of 89 campaigns across five countries were analysed to identify common messages and use of persuasive methods (appeal to logic, emotion and character). Three categories of themes underpin the messages used to motivate people to care for an older child: child-focused, carer-focused and community-focused messages. To enhance the recruitment campaigns for carers of older children, the authors draw upon persuasion and social norms theories to recommend a framework integrating message framing, trusted and reliable messengers, collective values of target audience and use of persuasive methods.

Priming through Persuasion: Towards Secure Password Behavior

Users tend to create weak passwords even for the important accounts. The prior research shed light on user's insecure password behavior, and why the interventions, including requirement specification (e.g., password composition policies) and feedback systems (e.g., password meters) fail in practice. To this end, we propose and evaluate the concept: priming-through-persuasion in the realm of secure password creation. In particular, we created visual designs, aimed at priming users about the repercussions of weak passwords before their password creation. We base our designs on two forms of persuasion methods: pathos and logos. Pathos appeals to people's emotion in order to persuade them towards an expected behavior, where logos-based rhetoric appeals to a person's sense of reason. We conducted a lab study including participatory design and semi-structured interview with 20 participants. We updated our designs in an iterative manner based on the feedback from our participants in the lab study. To evaluate our updated designs, we conducted a between-subject online study with 131 participants over Amazon Mechanical Turk. Our study provides insight into how the use of persuasion techniques contributed to user attachment and engagement with the design, as well as the comprehension of the conveyed message about password vulnerabilities. Our findings lead to the guideline for future research on leveraging the priming-through-persuasion to complement the existing techniques in encouraging users towards secure behavior.

Ideological Function of the Modern State: Problems of Understanding and Prospects of Development

The ideological function of the state is a significant direction of state activity at the present stage of its development in the context of revising the value guidelines of the existence of the state and the formation of a new paradigm of interstate interaction. In line with this study, the vision of the ideological function of the state in the aspect of its modern understanding, the search for certainty in the variable trends of the conceptual series is considered. Based on the consideration of problematic aspects of this topic, the concept of the ideological function of the state is proposed as the main complex direction of the state›s activity, contributing to the development of a full-fledged ideological sphere of society in line with the formation of an ideology of national importance, the revival of traditional values of society and countering destructive ideological influences. In addition to reflecting conceptual certainty, the work formulates the most important prospects for the development of the ideological function of the state. Currently, relatively independent areas of activity are being identified and will continue to develop in the future within the framework of the implementation of the analyzed function of the state – its subfunctions. The formation of the ideology of digitalization of social relations should be considered as a separate element of the content of the ideological function of the state in modern conditions. Mutual connection and mutual conditions of the ideological sphere of social relations and other spheres of modern society will also actively develop. In the process of exercising the ideological function of the state, methods of persuasion and positive coercion will receive predominant development. The detailing of modern ideology is significant. An important factor is the development of ideologies as elements of ideology and as phenomena of the language of law.

Space and Sonship: Paul’s Familial Metaphors in Rom 8

Paul often uses metaphors as a method of persuasion. In Rom 8, Paul’s use of kinship metaphors such as “sonship” and being “heirs” is particularly ubiquitous. Paul writes to an audience situated in Rome where they would have been well aware of kinship metaphors as this inter alia formed part of the Julio-Claudio Caesars’ vocabulary and legitimation of their rule. Paul’s familial metaphors would have resonated with an audience in Rome au fait with the notion of adoption and its implications. The use of the images of “sonship” and “heir” also function as spatial metaphors indicating a vertical and horizontal understanding which the audience would have picked up on. The spatial metaphors contribute to an understanding of “in” and “out”, underscoring an alternative family identity found in Christ. These metaphors play a role in the formation and construction of what is later to be called early Christianity.

To the question of the feasibility of using legal propaganda as a form of legal nurturing

The article attempts to clarify the term "legal propaganda” on the basis of clarification the essence of propaganda and justify the inappropriateness of using this phrase in relation to the form of legal education in a modern democratic state.
 It was found that both in the legislation and at the doctrinal level, the term "propaganda” is given a mostly negative meaning and is considered as a tool for spreading mostly anti-social, harmful, socially dangerous and frankly illegal phenomena and processes.
 It has been shown that most definitions of propaganda contain the words "manipulation”, "pressure”, "deception”, which clearly demonstrate that any propaganda implicitly includes false or distorted information, a deliberate violation of the rules of formal logic and is a hidden manipulation. It is argued that propaganda is rightly opposed to pluralism, and this makes this term inconsistent with the general principles (fundamentals of the constitutional system) of a modern democratic legal state.
 The given "systematic signs of propaganda” prove the impracticality of using the term propaganda in relation to positive phenomena and processes, such as "legal propaganda”:
 It is assumed that the use of the term "legal propaganda” can be avoided due to the development of doctrinal thought regarding legal influence and the method of persuasion.
 The possibility of a limited application of legal propaganda as a special-legal aspect of the operation of law in society, for example, some legal and educational areas in the activities of the police ("propaganda for compliance with traffic rules”), is assumed.
 The opinion that any coercion, suggestion, manipulation, imposition in law is inappropriate in view of the prevailing anthropocentrism is defended. It was concluded that the method of action through the system of values is more relevant and effective.

Methods of Intra-Cultural Translating of Advertising Via Internet :Non-Alcoholic Malt Beverage and McDonald´s as a Model

The aim of this paper is tohighlight the importance of translation theory in Internet advertising and to study the role it plays in communicating the advertising message from the source language (SL) to the target language (TL), i.e. the Arabic language. Therefore, the Arab´s cultural reference is different from that of the Western. It is noteworthy to reveal that the culture is one of the basic factors which makes a solid structure to the advertising strategy supporting the method of persuasion; this one is considered one of the main methods in advertising discourse.The point here is that globalization does not eliminate the local character of some countries, but rather respects the cultural and linguistic specificity of each country. Despite the common religious interface among Arab countries, Arab culture differs from one country to another. The culture and the dialect of the Maghreb is somehow different from those of Saudi Arabia and Egypt, for example. Mc Donald´s, for instance is one of the models that seeks to give its global touch, but at the same time is still working to respect the cultural characteristics and the original local meal of each country.

A stylistic-critical discourse analysis of persuasive strategies in King Abdullah II’s Speeches

This study looks at the influence procedures or persuasive strategies utilized by King Abdullah II of Jordan provided for the UN, European Parliament, Association of Islamic Participation, and Bedouin Association somewhere in the range of 2007 and 2021. Intertextuality, Imagination and Illustration, References, and Diversion were utilized in the review to investigate how the King involved these persuasive methods in his discussions. The speeches are additionally being broken down utilizing Fairclough's discourse investigation approach. King Abdullah II utilized representations, references, aversion, and intertextuality, as indicated by the review. He featured reality as it is utilizing an inventive strategy. Furthermore, he utilizes intertextuality to convince the world local area of his point of view. The King, then again, stays away from unoriginality in his comments by utilizing nonpartisan pronouns like "we," "our," "your," and "you. "It takes a look at the purposeful utilization of language to stimulate sentiments, support convictions, and make a positive view of the speaker or political faction. Then Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) offers a hypothetical system to take a look at the power the social and political variables have underlined in political discourse. It shows the way that language can be utilized to keep up with control, bar specific gatherings from society, or reinforcing existing power structures. Stylistics and CDA are utilized in this review to give a comprehensive understanding with complex perception of the influence (or persuasion) strategies employed in political discourse.
