Satisfaction and results of the subareolar incision as treatment for gynecomastia in adolescents: experience of two centers.

Gynecomastia is a benign glandular proliferation that can affect adolescents causing significant psychological discomfort. Generally, it is idiopathic but underlying endocrinological conditions must be excluded. Different surgical techniques are available, the surgical correction with subareolar incision achieves the goal of satisfactory aesthetic result for patients. We studied all patients treated for gynecomastia in two centers of pediatric surgery. After collection of a detailed family history, we evaluated the presence of early onset of puberty, congenital abnormalities of the external genitalia, use of drugs, eating habits and the presence of genetic disorders. Laboratory tests and ultrasound were made to exclude endocrinological disorders. The surgical treatment was performed by a subareolar incision with gland and adipose tissue excision. A Body - Q chest module to evaluate patient satisfaction has been proposed to everyone before and after surgery. 47 adolescents with median age of 15 years were surgically treated. Three presented endocrinological disorders. Grade of gynecomastia for surgery was: III in 40 patients and IIb in 7 patients. Postoperative complications occurred in 5 patients. The Body - Q chest module was completed by 42 patients and showed good results for all points analyzed, except for social feelings. Gynecomastia in adolescents can be surgically treated with subareolar incision, reporting good aesthetic results and low incidence of complications. Specific tests are useful to assess patient satisfaction.

Summary vision on the symbology of the sacred mountains of theAndes

Los estudios del comportamiento religioso de los pueblos an- dinos aún no logran concitar trabajos en profundidad a los especialistas de la ciencia social, debido al preconcepto académico del «panteón de los dioses andinos» y por el contex- to del proceso de desacralización urbana de nuestro tiempo. No obstante, algunos lograron elucidar las fórmulas rituales y las expresiones del mito como componentes e improntas del sistema religioso en acción. Y, en cuanto son hechos so- ciales, están relacionadas a las capacidades productivas, a los sentimientos sociales y al sistema de valores de su entorno. Con esta preocupación nos proponemos mostrar un limitado sumario bibliográfico de aportes conceptuales, avances teóricos y registros etnográficos del pensamiento religioso andino contemporáneo. Partiendo de nuestra experiencia en la regiónde Ayacucho sobre el manejo conceptual del pagapu y wamani como ejes rituales de propiciación y núcleos duros de matrizcultural, en un contexto de los movimientos migratorios y de los conflictos sociales crecientes.

Summary vision on the symbology of the sacred mountains of theAndes

Studies of the religious behavior of the Andean peoples have not yet been able to attract specialists in social science, due tothe academic preconception of the «pantheon of the Andean gods» and the context of the process of urban desacralization of our time. However, some managed to elucidate the ritual formulas and expressions of myth as components and imprints of the religious system in action. And, insofar as they are social facts, they are related to the productive capacities,social feelings and the value system of their environment. With this concern, we propose to show a limited bibliographic summary of conceptual contributions, theoretical advances and ethnographic records of contemporary Andean religiousthought. Based on our experience in the Ayacucho region on the conceptual management of pagapu and wamani as ritual axes of propitiation and hard nuclei of cultural matrix, in a context of migratory movements and growing social conflicts.

Semantics Issue: Emotive Meaning of Netizens’ Comments of Gastrointestinal Disease Survivors on Instagram @Kakagastro

This study aims to describe the emotive meaning of netizens’ comments about survivors of gastrointestinal diseases on Instagram @kakagastro. This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method. The data in this study is in the form of screenshots in the form of comments written by followers of the @kakagastro account. The documentation method is used to obtain the data in the account. The data that has been obtained is then entered into the corpus of data that the researcher has previously designed. The results of the study show that three emotive meanings appear in the comments on the @kakagastro account. These emotive meanings, namely emotive meaning as an embodiment of worry, emotive meaning as an embodiment of social feelings, and emotive meaning as an embodiment of pleasure or happiness. The emotive meaning as a manifestation of worry comes from netizens who at that time were feeling anxious and afraid of the disease they were suffering from. This fear is manifested in the form of complaints and questions. The emotive meaning as a manifestation of social feeling comes from netizens' desire to consult about the illness they are suffering from. The consultation raises interaction and concern from the @kakagastro account with its followers. The emotive meaning of the embodiment of happiness is a meaning that arises because of the success of people with gastrointestinal diseases in consuming foods that should be prohibited. This success indicates that the healing process of gastrointestinal diseases is almost complete. Keywords: Instagram, emotive meaning, netizens

The role of para-social relationship in live streaming virtual gift purchase: a two-stage SEM-neural network analysis

PurposeDespite the burgeoning popularity of virtual gifting in live streaming, research lacks an in-depth understanding of the drivers behind this behavior. Using para-social relationship (PSR), this study aims to capture viewers’ lively social feelings toward the streamer as the key factor leading to the purchase behavior of virtual gifts. It also aims to establish a theoretical link between PSR and viewers’ holistic experience in live streaming as captured by cognitive absorption and aims to investigates the role of technological features (i.e. viewer–streamer and viewer–viewer interactivity, streamer-level and viewer-level deep profiling and design aesthetics) in shaping viewers’ experience.Design/methodology/approachBased on 433 survey responses, this study employs a combination of structural equation modeling and neural networks to offer valuable insights into the relationships between the technological environment, viewer experience and viewer behavior.FindingsOur results highlight the salience of PSR in promoting the purchase of virtual gifts through cognitive absorption and the importance of the technological environment in eliciting the viewer experience. This study sheds light on the development of PSR in a technological environment and its relationship with cognitive absorption.Originality/valueBy applying PSR to conceptualize viewers’ perceived connection with the streamer, this study extends the research on purchase behavior in the non-shopping context by providing an enlightened understanding of virtual gift purchase behavior in live streaming. Moreover, by theoretically linking PSR with cognitive absorption, virtual gift purchase and technological features of live streaming, it enriches the theory of PSR and bridges the gap between the design practice of supporting the IT infrastructure of live streaming and research.

The Sexual and Racial Politics of Intimacy in Thomas A. Digges's Adventures of Alonso (1775)

Abstract: This article examines the uses of intimacy in Thomas A. Digges's understudied 1775 novel Adventures of Alonso . Throughout the transatlantic travels of the picaresque hero Alonso, Digges narrates various constellations of intimacy among men in order to espouse an idea of liberal interiority and relationality that depends on the exclusion and affective distancing of racialized, gendered, and sexualized persons and populations. The article reads and contrasts two scenes of male intimacy and their larger repercussions in the novel. In the first, intimacy represents a social feeling that enables and fosters the public reasoning of white men on a ship crossing the Atlantic; in the second, Digges uses the intimacies of the sexually deviant Arab body in a Barbary captivity episode in order to demarcate and police the racial and sexual boundaries of liberal personhood. In doing so, Adventures of Alonso functionalizes intimacy to reorganize the bodies of white men into a fantasy of (proto-) democratic social form while it dismisses the bodies of racial and sexual others as politically expendable.

공리 입증의 불가능성과 도덕적 감정으로서의 공리

Philosophers regard the human desire for happiness as an instinctive act, and utilitarians also say that the desire for happiness is a ‘principle of nature’ given ‘from the beginning.’ J. Bentham and J. S. Mill say that it is natural for humans to pursue utility. They say that axioms as principles of nature are unprovable. If the majority of people only consider their own interests, the community will turn into a selfish society. Even though the attitude of humans pursuing utility is a principles of nature, if we remain in that state, the community will become a society that pursues only private utility.
 Accordingly, this article first discusses axioms as natural principles. This paper then points out the limitations that appear when the pursuit of utility remains limited to the pursuit of individual interests. Additionally, this article suggests the need to move beyond axioms based on natural feeling to utility based on social feeling. Axioms based on social feeling is utility pursued by individuals as moral beings. Lastly, this article presents the role of the individual as a ‘moral being’ and the direction for public utility.

IMPLEMENTATION OF HALAL TOURISM IN EAST NUSA TENGGARA: A CHRISTIAN EDUCATION PERSPECTIVE

The initiative to create halal tourism in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) was approved directly by the community and local government because it was considered antithetical to local customs. Indeed, the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia remarked that the concept of halal tourism is carried out in Indonesia in order to provide halal meals, suitable places of worship, and other halal services. In Indonesia, halal tourism is defined as the provision of friendly halal service facilities for tourists, also known as Muslim-friendly tourism. The rejection of halal tourist development in NTT prompted a study to ascertain the views of local governments, corporate actors, and the general public on halal tourism in East Nusa Tenggara. The findings from this study were examined utilizing social emotion methodologies and Christian religious education. The study's findings found that efforts are being made to maximize the potential of halal tourism in East Nusa Tenggara Province. For starters, social feelings can be leveraged to foster togetherness while enjoying local tourist attractions. Second, Christian education incorporates societal reform based on God's command and the love for God concept in welcoming others. It promotes acceptance of God's creatures and equitable treatment of them.

Group-Inclusion for Students with Special Educational Needs in Mainstream Schools

Inclusion of students with special educational needs (SEN) in mainstream schools and mainstream classes is a global mission. Together with cases of success in including students with SEN in the mainstream structures, various studies highlight a lot of criticism concerning policy and implications. The failure of inclusion is reflected both in academic achievements and well-being of the students with SEN. It also affects families and is of great concern to stakeholders, principals, and educational staff as well. The present article emphasizes Group-inclusion as a social intervention for improving educational inclusion. The authors describe principles of Positive Psychology Theory and positive education, as well as principles of the Generative Interactions Theory, as the basis for successful Group-inclusion, which may contribute to the social involvement of students with SEN with their peers. Description of Group-inclusion and examples of implementation are given, and the advantages and costs of Group-inclusion are discussed. Through Group-inclusion the social feelings and attitude of students with SEN in mainstream schools can be improved, as well as their subjective well-being.

Awkwardness sells, but who’s buying? How students navigate awkward TV comedy series

Drawing on in-depth interviews, this study examines how students engage with awkwardness in television comedies. The article contributes to studies of awkwardness, its configuration in popular culture, and audiences’ response to awkward-comic texts. Our findings show typical sequences and resources for producing awkward scenes. Participants tend to evaluate awkward scenes in terms of ‘realism’, i.e., whether they could relate the scene to their personal lives and/or imagine themselves in that situation. Furthermore, awkward sequences and feelings of awkwardness from the characters increases the evaluation of scenes as realistic. Finally, in line with Kotsko’s (2010) characterisation of awkwardness as a social feeling, awkwardness spreads from the television screen when participants perceive if the character is feeling awkward or imagine themselves feeling awkward in that situation.

STUDENTS OF CHUVASHIA HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS ABOUT PATRIOTISM: GENDER ANALYSIS

The relevance of the study determines the increasing importance of patriotism in education, primarily that of young people, including students. It is important both practically and theoretically to comprehend the role and the place of patriotism in the conditions of increasing confrontation with Western countries and ideologies. At this, it is important to take into account the multidimensional nature of this phenomenon, including the peculiarities of its gender perception.
 
 The purpose of the work is to analyze the opinions of Chuvashia students about patriotism, to identify the distinguishing characteristics of the responses given by boys and girls.
 
 Materials and methods. The analysis is based on data from a survey involving over 500 university students of Chuvashia, among whom 60% were girls, the remaining 40% were young people. The basis for the analysis seems to be quite representative. The obtained indicators will have not only theoretical, but also applied significance, since they will enable to choose more effective work strands with students, taking into account their gender characteristics. The processing of materials within the framework of the SPSS Statistics program makes it possible to take into account such aspects of the study.
 
 Study results. According to the respondents, the most distinctive feature of patriotism is love for one’s country. Conscious love for the Motherland, devotion to it – act as the basis of this political principle and social feeling. Further, the frequency of choice is followed by such answers as pride for the history of the country and readiness to defend it. In both cases, girls chose these options more often, especially in the first case. The elements of patriotic choice with a certain degree of conditionality can be divided into cognitive, emotional and active. Undoubtedly, they intersect, in each of them all three components are reflected, but the basic characteristics prevail.
 
 Conclusions. It follows from the data obtained that girls perceive to a greater extent such components of patriotism that are cognitive and emotional in nature, and young men – its effective component. At the same time, it is not necessary to draw rigid dividing lines between them, since some phenomena are perceived from different points of view, which we have tried to show in this article.

Putting the Gaming Experience at the Center of the Therapy-The Video Game Therapy® Approach.

Video games have been increasingly used as a form of therapy for various mental health conditions. Research has shown that video games can be used to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. One of the main benefits of video games in therapy is that they can provide a sense of engagement and immersion that traditional therapy methods may lack. Additionally, video games can teach valuable skills such as problem solving, decision making, and coping strategies. Video games can also simulate real-life scenarios, allowing individuals to practice and improve social skills in a safe and controlled environment. Furthermore, video games can provide feedback and track progress objectively and quantifiably. This paper proposes an approach, the Video Game Therapy® (VGT®) approach, where game experience is put at the center of the therapy in a tailored way, connecting the individual patient's personality, the therapy's goals, and the suggested type of video game through the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).VGT®'s core assumption is that playing video games could facilitate patients in reaching conditions where traditional methodologies and therapeutic approaches could work best. VGT® was elaborated according to the Adlerian therapy vision and, consequently, the different phases of Adlerian therapy and VGT® match. Despite the use of video games in psychotherapy might have some adverse effects in specific cases, VGT® is currently used in three associations with positive results in promoting emotional experimentation and literacy, social feeling, sense of identity, and activating cognitive processes. Future developments include expanding the use of VGT® further to validate such results from a statistical point of view.

Formation of patriotic consciousness of student youth

The article emphasizes the importance of formation of patriotic consciousness of students. The main approaches to understanding the essence of patriotism as a social feeling are considered. One of the primary tasks of fundamental transformations in modern times is the construction of a civil society, the formation of a new type of civil personality. Student youth is the social stratum of society that is already at the forefront of the transformation of the world, making a great contribution to sustainable development and opening up new formats for ensuring involvement and interaction on a global scale. The younger generation is not only the most numerous: it also has the highest level of interaction. On the basis of a socio-psychological survey, the results are presented, the current state of patriotic consciousness of modern youth is analyzed. Approbation of the methodology for identifying the formation of patriotic consciousness of student youth was carried out at the North Ossetian State Institute. The study involved two age groups, respondents from 16 to 25 years old and respondents over 25 years old. The reason for this division was the fact that the age group of 16 to 25 years, these are students who have self-awareness. The second age group is respondents over 25 years old. This group is already wellformed mature people with a relatively formed worldview. The results of our research showed that patriotism is the value system of the modern younger generation, but, at the same time, is not a priority and defining value for most young people. The main aspect in the formation of patriotic consciousness is to direct young people to assimilate the spiritual and moral values of modern society. The organization of the process of formation of patriotic consciousness in a higher educational institution should be considered as a complex process, all aspects of which should be interconnected and at the same time complement each other, which implies its purposeful and comprehensive implementation. The formation of patriotic consciousness of students should be carried out both in the learning process and in extracurricular activities, through the study of humanities, the participation of students in various activities.

A Leader Who Sees the World as I Do: Voters Prefer Candidates Whose Statements Reveal Matching Social‐Psychological Attitudes

Politicians are increasingly able to communicate their values, attitudes, and concerns directly to voters. Yet little is known about which of these signals resonate with voters and why. We employ a discrete choice experiment to investigate whether and which social‐psychological attitudes predict how adult British voters respond to corresponding attitudinal signals communicated by candidates in hypothetical social media posts. For all attitudes studied, covering social feelings (trust, collective nostalgia), social perceptions (nationalism, populist sentiment), and social commitments (national identification, authoritarianism, egalitarianism), we find that participants are much more likely to vote for candidates who signal proximity to their own attitudinal position and less likely for candidates who signal opposing views. The strongest effects were observed for national identification, authoritarianism, and egalitarianism, indicating the importance of commitment to a shared group and to particular principles for distributing power and resources within and between groups. We further demonstrate that social‐psychological attitudes are not acting as mere proxies for participants' past votes or left–right ideology. Our results extend adaptive followership theory to incorporate preferences concerning intragroup coordination and intergroup hierarchy, while highlighting the social‐psychological dynamics of political communication that may transcend the concerns of particular election cycles.

Cognitive Brain: Neuroscience, Neurophysiology and Neuroendocrinology of Emotions

Humancognitive brain integrates and synchronizes neurobiological, neurophysiological, and neuroendocrinological emotions that promote compassion and intersubjectivity that will help reduce stress and enhance compassionate mediation to resolve conflicts. The dependence of emotional states on context is also critical for affective neurology studies in which we want to experimentally manipulate emotional states. Emotions are functional states realized in the activities of neural systems that regulate complex behavior. Strategic is the creation of an integrative working model of emotions and stress, which specifies a time frame for measuring stress: acute, event, daily and chronic and a more accurate language for measuring stress. Human cognitive brains are biological, biophysical, neurophysiological, and medico-social information exchange paradigms. Modern artificial intelligence technologies are capable of many things, including predicting cognitive impairment and cognitive disorders, using combined and hybrid neuroimaging, next-generation sequencing, etc., in order to begin timely and effective rehabilitation of the Human brain. Social feelings have conceptual and empirical links to affect and emotion. The modern problem of affective neurology is to detail causal interactions between emotional states, emotion experiences, and emotion concepts: in healthy adults, all three usually occur together. Emotional states, along with many other signs of mental state, provide causal explanations for behavior. Emotions are “purposeful” because they are aimed at preparing the body to respond to situations that have repeatedly arisen throughout evolution. In conceptual stages of development, emotions become more differentiated and diverse as the cognitive brain of Human (individual, person, personality) postpones memories of emotional events often caused by social interactions, assesses situations, and develops coping mechanisms, including expectation, appropriate levels of arousal, and cognitive control of emotional behavior. Human brain working in the mode of genius (talent, creativity) requires the creation and maintenance of modern neurocompunctions between the new cortex and the hippocampus (memory library, memory hard drive), the formation of new structural and functional neurocompunctions in Human brain that occur continuously throughout the life of all life from birth to ultra-longevity and have creative advantages in the era of modern neuroscience and neuromarketing.

Influence of Neighborhood-Based Identity and Social Participation on the Social Integration of the Drifting Elderly

The drifting elderly are an interprovincial floating elderly population that is mainly composed of unemployed older parents in China. They have left their usual residence and relocated to urban areas, facing challenge about social integration. As a neighborhood has played important roles in the floating population’s social integration, this study was designed to investigate the influence of neighborhood-based identity and social participation on the social integration of the drifting elderly. Five rounds of data collection and analysis were conducted in a continuous crossover sequence using grounded theory. Twenty-four participants were recruited from three districts in Shanghai, China. The neighborhood was shown to play a prominent role in the drifting elderly’s perceptions of social integration. Good neighborhood relations help the drifting elderly establish effective social support networks, interact with inflowing society, get in touch with more human resources, and form social relationships and networks. Neighborhood-based participants and identity were more conducive to eliminating heterogeneity and creating homogeneity for the drifting elderly. Thus, the neighborhood affects the social integration of the drifting elderly, which directly impacts their social feelings, integrations, and networks. Management of social integration among the drifting elderly should be focused on creating general opportunities for them to participate in neighborhood-based social events with a reasonable identity.

Deep-Level Expression of Hidden Narrative Structures in Creative Scriptwriting for Stealthy Film and Television Productions

Script creation has a very important influence on the character setting, character shaping and animation style of an animation work. As one of the drama techniques of script creation, creative scripts can express the true feelings behind the creators in the structural form of creation, as well as give a certain audience reflection on a certain social phenomenon, and can stimulate the ingenious conception of the work in the form of display. Based on the structural technique of straightforward narrative, combined with the expression of highly creative thinking, it can express the hidden thinking structure of the creative work and a certain social feeling placed on the creator, so as to achieve the emotional resonance between the work and the viewer.

Демаркация идентичности: проблема сохранения суверенитета индивида в цифровом пространстве

Introduction. In the digital age, the individual becomes the bearer and victim of an ambivalent and labile individual identity: a real identity, as an expression of one's own individuality, including personal, group, professional, gender, ethnic, civil, and a virtual identity, as a user of an information resource with an individual digital code. Today, a universal era of active imitation of real life is being formed, the construction of an anonymous individual based on a total upgrade of his identification codes. Theoretical basis of the study. Based on the identification and analysis of individual identity in the digital space, the conceptualization of various approaches to characterizing identity was carried out. It is expressed in the fact that the situational approach characterizes a theoretical construction that describes the ability of a person to form his identity in various situations and, in order to preserve his individuality, deviate from the general norms of group behavior; the intersubjective approach defines the unique place of the individual, his awareness as a consequence of internalization in the existing symbolic organization of the group; the structural-functional approach explicates a fixed set of attributions of an individual, which include his personal traits, functional characteristics and motivational structure. Results and its discussion. In the digital environment, the identification constructs of the individual are reproduced as some instrumental matrices or original operational models of everyday and social communication, models of relationships and interconnections in the plurality of social worlds. At the same time, reflecting social reality, the individual forms his attitude towards it according to the identification construct, and realizing his actions according to these matrices and models, the individual creates a part of reality itself, changes it, transforms it. Considering that an identification construct can be a purposefully formed or involuntarily emerging way of reflecting the reality that dominates an individual, it can be represented as a pragmatic-target result of a direct impact on the subject of an artificially constructed environment (manipulation), or as a consequence of a rational attitude to social reality in the form of a product of social experiences and social feelings determined by the principles and rules of the dominant reality.
