Slow-oscillation neurofeedback (NF), encompassing slow cortical potential (SCP), infra-low-frequency (ILF), and infra-slow-fluctuation (ISF) protocols, has gained increasing interest as a non-pharmacological intervention in pediatric mental health and neurodevelopmental care. This narrative review synthesizes peer-reviewed literature on the clinical efficacy of slow-oscillation NF in children and adolescents across various conditions, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), epilepsy, tic disorders, and eating-related concerns. SCP NF is the most extensively studied protocol and shows preliminary efficacy in reducing ADHD symptoms, particularly among individuals capable of learning self-regulation. For ASD and other conditions, early evidence from primarily small-scale or uncontrolled studies suggests possible benefits in emotional regulation, impulsivity, and behavioral symptoms, though findings remain mixed and often non-specific. Methodological heterogeneity, including variation in control conditions, training protocols, and outcome measures, limits the comparability of results. ILF and ISF protocols, while promising, are still emerging and require further validation. Overall, slow-oscillation NF appears to offer potential as a personalized therapeutic option for pediatric populations, but robust, well-controlled trials are needed to clarify its clinical utility and optimize its integration into multimodal care.
This study examined how narcissistic traits influence women’s cognitive processing of verbal violence. Using a lexical decision task, an emotional Stroop task, and event-related potentials, we analyzed neural responses to violent versus neutral words in 70 women. Behaviorally, while narcissism showed no significant impact on performance in the Lexical Decision Task, a specific interference effect emerged in the emotional Stroop task, where higher narcissistic vulnerability predicted reduced accuracy for violent words relative to neutral ones. Notably, ERP results revealed a consistent pattern across both tasks: higher PNI total scores significantly predicted reduced amplitudes of early components, specifically the N170 and P2. Furthermore, in the emotional Stroop task, the vulnerability dimension emerged as a significant predictor of reduced EPN and P2 amplitudes. These findings suggest that when exposed to verbal violence, narcissistic women exhibit attenuated early evaluation and attentional allocation. This reflects a preemptive cognitive avoidance strategy used to protect the self-concept, driven primarily by a general narcissistic defensive pattern that manifests most acutely in vulnerable traits under high-interference conditions.
En la Enéada III4 (15), Plotino integra pasajes de diálogos de Platón en los que se encuentra la noción de daímon. El análisis se concentra en el alma –especialmente la individual– y en el modo en que debe comprenderse la conducta.
Ahora bien, a pesar de que Porfirio lo tituló “Sobre el daímon que hemos recibido en suerte”, tomando el Fedón, Plotino parte de la capacidad que tiene el alma –antes de la combinación con el cuerpo– de elegir al daímon que la conducirá a un género de vida o a otro, a la luz del mito de Er de la República. Como se ve, la responsabilidad recae en esa elección, y el cuerpo parece no tener lugar en la conducta del individuo. La consecuencia indeseada sería que, una vez elegido el daímon, para el alma encarnada no es posible ni empeorar ni mejorar; por lo cual, según entiendo, el aprendizaje, la aspiración de alcanzar la virtud –acaso la tarea filosófica misma–, no tendría razón de ser. En este trabajo, me propongo ofrecer un acotado análisis de algunos pasajes de III4 (15) con vistas a examinar el problema de la elección y decisión del alma, y su comercio con el cuerpo.
Political marketing for power often uses popular culture to achieve it. Popular culture, which prioritises packaging over substance, is becoming increasingly thinner and thinner, especially when other passengers are infiltrated into its fragile body. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the practice of popular culture in politics whose ultimate goal is the attainment of power. The fragility opens up wide opportunities for the accommodation of other interests, which are always present in public life. Popular culture itself is already poor in substance, will become even more banal with relations with other fields. So the relationship between popular culture and politics falls into the "ideology" of inevitability. A multifaceted reading of politics and popular culture allows for other findings, but in this study we see that humans instinctively have the desire for power, he is anxious if it is not achieved. Sublimation is done so that anxiety can still be done, so that the desire for power is released. Popular culture provides space for that.

This research explains the Islamic revelation in the context of the synergy between fiqh and tradition. Using qualitative methods, this research concludes that: first, the pribumization of Islam is the result of the thought of K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) by seeking harmonization between fiqh and tradition. Gus Dur referred to the compromising process of Islamization by the Walisongo in spreading Islam in Nusantara as a very effective instrument
or medium in the spreading of Islam. Secondly, in the Islamic Pribumization discourse, Gus Dur used the fiqh methodology of al-'ādah muhakkamah and al-'tsābit bi al-'urf ka al-tsābit bi al-nash, which were seen as capable of paying attention to the needs present in the local culture. For example, the greeting assalamu’alaikum is interpreted in the good morning greeting only in the relationship of mu’amalah, not up to the level of worship, in the custom of
marriage by carrying out the conditions of harmony, but still given space in expressing their respective cultures while not contrary to religion. Third, based on its historical flow, religious values within culture in the Pribumization of Islam substantially shifted towards the discourse of Islam Nusantara and are now transformed into one of the indicators of religious moderation, namely accommodating a local culture so that it has a relevant relationship therein.
La pandemia mundial brindó la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre el territorio y la existencia humana. El propósito de esta investigación fue explorar la relación con el espacio habitado desde la perspectiva de jóvenes de 15 a 17 años en situación de vulnerabilidad durante la pandemia. Para ello, se empleó un enfoque metodológico de investigación cualitativa con 26 jóvenes, precedido por una inmersión en campo, talleres participativos y diálogos de saberes. Se utilizó un mapa participativo como herramienta adicional. Los resultados revelaron que el espacio habitado adquirió importancia para los jóvenes durante la pandemia, al convertirse en un refugio que les permitió conectarse con la naturaleza y experimentar nuevas sensaciones, como sonidos, disfrutar del paisaje y disfrutar de la naturaleza. Reconocieron que, antes de la crisis sanitaria, este lugar carecía de valor para ellos, pero la pandemia los llevó a reconsiderarlo como un sitio de protección que los hizo sentir menos vulnerables. Aunque el objetivo se alcanzó parcialmente debido a las incertidumbres de la salud pública a nivel global, los participantes transformaron su percepción del espacio, generando un nuevo significado que fortaleció sus habilidades individuales para afrontar la pandemia de COVID-19.
Pensar desde el mal es un libro de filosofía política y de ética, donde se lleva a cabo una crítica algo acre de las instituciones y creencias del tiempo presente, por lo que las reflexiones allí contenidas son a modo de diagnóstico en un cuerpo de ideas que tienen una matriz histórica e incluso sociológica. No se trata en absoluto de una obra de ciencias sociales, sino de la ejecución de un tipo de discurso donde la historia política y el análisis de los acontecimientos sociales se desarrollan en extraña convivencia con una gran diversidad de recursos argumentativos, algo propio de la hermenéutica filosófica.

Background: Alexithymia is a type of mood disorder that causes the inability to cognitively process emotional information and regulate emotions. Spouses' Alexithymia is one of the factors affecting couples' incompatibility and interaction, which has a negative effect on their interaction and compatibility. However, there is a research gap in the field of the ability to predict Alexithymia through the ability to process emotional information with the mediation of emotional self-disclosure in the target society, so in this research, the prediction of Alexithymia based on emotional processing with the mediation of emotional self-disclosure in married people is discussed.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to provide a structural model for predicting Alexithymia based on emotional processing with the mediation of emotional self-disclosure.
Methods: The method of descriptive research is correlation type using structural equations. The research population was all married women who referred to counseling and assistance clinics in Robat Karim city for consensual divorce in the year2019, and 200 people were selected by available sampling method. In order to collect data, Toronto Persian scale of emotional Alexithymia (Bashart, 2007), Emotional information processing questionnaire(Abolmaali,2019) and emotional self-disclosure scale (Snell, 2001) were used. In order to analyze the data, descriptive statistical methods and Also, structural equations and Spss, Lisrel software were used..
Results: The results showed that emotional self-disclosure plays a mediating role in the relationship between Alexithymia and emotional processing (p>0.05) and there is an indirect relationship between Alexithymia and emotional processing considering emotional self-disclosure as a mediating factor.
Conclusion: The results of this research showed that there is a direct and meaningful relationship between emotional information processing and Alexithymia, so that among the variables of emotional processing, the variable of weakened and suppressed emotions predicts Alexithymia and in general, Alexithymia in couples can be predicted based on the mentioned variables. Therefore, these factors should be considered in prevention and treatment programs.
Islamic (participation) banks in Turkey are required to apply international accounting standards in their accounting and reporting practices, while their counterparts in Bahrain apply the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) standards. The main objective of this paper is to reveal the relation between Islamic and international accounting standards, discussed in previous studies, by comparing the compliance to AAOIFI accounting standards by Islamic banks in both Turkey and Bahrain. The source of information in this study is secondary data provided in the annual reports of the Islamic banks in Turkey and Bahrain for the year 2017. In order to measure compliance, an unweighted disclosure index was used. The outcomes of this study show that, since AAOIFI accounting standards are compulsory in Bahrain, the level of compliance with AAOIFI standards in relation to general presentation and disclosure in the financial statements of Islamic banks in Turkey is lower than the compliance achieved by their counterparts in Bahrain. Due to the average compliance level achieved by Islamic banks (using the unweighted disclosure index) in Turkey (54.6%), and since all banks in Turkey apply international financial reporting standards and international accounting standards, it is found that there is a relation between AAOIFI and International Accounting Standards Board standards even though they are different. Surprisingly, in the case of Bahrain’s Islamic banks, the standard deviation of the total compliance score is 8.66, which indicates an important difference among the Islamic banks in Bahrain in this regard. It is also found that the current practices of participation banks in Turkey do not adequately meet the financial statements and disclosure standards in accordance with the AAOIFI.
The main aim of the article is to explain the beginning of the Roman painter Francesco Lo Savio’s career from 1957 to 1959. This part of his production has long been unknown because it was considered too distant from the mature works. During those years Lo Savio is still tied to his training in Informal Art. Moreover, the work of this period also show influences coming from American art, in particular, from the pictorial research of Mark Rothko. This essay illustrates why these works should be considered an important step, although germinal, in Lo Savio’s painting career. Just by analyzing the origins of his painting, it is possible to understand the next steps of his work. The works at the end of 1958 and early 1959 are, in fact, the start of his artistic path that will result in Space-Light paintings a few months later.
Many development projects in Vietnam today, including tourism, are partially focused on ecology. However, the mentality of cultivating for later gains is still popular. In addition to the goal of creating opportunities to benefit local communities, this development discourse conveys a sense of ‘ecoambiguity’. This study mainly applies the concept of "ecoambiguity" of Thornber (2012) to discuss the current situation and impact of tourism activities in the Khmer community around Bà Om Pond in Trà Vinh, Vietnam. Unlike previous works that discussed the beauty and value of Khmer religion, temples, rural life, festivals, and art, this research argues that people-centered policies have never enabled people to achieve their goals.
The future challenge in education is creating individuals who are able to learn for life. The challenge of shifting values in society will bring a value crisis. To avoid it is implementing of character education to improve the quality of faith and piety. This study aims to describe the implementation of character education. This research is a qualitative research. Using interview, observation, and documentation as techniques of collecting data, then the data was analyzed by Miles and Huberman models. The research results showed that the implementation of character education through: habitual worship before school, in the class, rest, and before going home; giving advice inside and outside the learning process; exemplary teacher in starting the application of character education; internalization by focusing on cognition dimension and value, as well as extracurricular and religious programs.

در پژوهش پیش رو تلاش شده است مفهوم «مرگ» در متون داستانی فلسفه برای کودکان و دیدگاه علامه طباطبایی، با یکدیگر مقایسه شود. برای رسیدن به این هدف از سه روش تحقیقِ تحلیل محتوای کیفی، تحلیل مفهومی و زبانی و تحلیل تطبیقی استفاده شده است و پس از بررسی مفهوم مرگ در سه داستان فلسفی برای کودکان بهعنوان نمونه و نظر علامه طباطبایی در این مورد، تفاوتها و شباهتهای آنها در مقولات زیر مقایسه شد: ترس از مرگ، انتقال، میراندن، بهشت و جهنم، ناشناختگی مرگ، آخرین مرحلۀ زندگی بودن، تجسم اعمال، ادامۀ زندگی در قالب موجودی دیگر، آمادگی برای مرگ، نابودی بدن، اشتیاق نسبت به مرگ، جاودانگی روح و قطعی بودن مرگ. نتیجه چنین حاصل شد که مفهوم مرگ در داستانهای فلسفی برای کودکان به دلیل عدم توضیحات روشن و متقن در رابطه با حقیقت مرگ باعث سردرگمی و بههمریختگی آرامش روانی کودک است. این در صورتی است که توصیف و توضیح مرگ در اسلام به دلیل ژرفای آن و همچنین دقت نظر موجود در آن به فهم متقن و روشن در رابطه با مرگ منجر میشود.
Bir bireyin kurumsal ve özel yaşamının en önemli
ve etkili boyutlardan biri ekonomi ise diğeri inançtır. İnsanların davranış
biçimleri bu ikisinin nasıl şekillendiği ile orantılı olarak görünür hale
gelir. Bireyin hayatında ve davranışlarında bu derece etkili olan bu iki
sistemin, hemen hemen aynı derecede bulundukları etkinin bir uzantısı olarak
birbirleriyle de karşılıklı bir etkileşim içinde oldukları görmezden
gelinmemelidir. Gerek din gerekse ekonomi, bir diğerini olumlu ya da olumsuz
daima, insanlık tarihi boyunca bir biçimde etkilemeyi başarmıştır. Hemen hemen
bütün sosyologlar, özellikle de din sosyologları, bu ilişkiye dikkat çekmek ve
hem toplum hem de birey açısından bu konuda farkındalık yaratabilmek için
çalışmalar yapmış ve sonuçlara varmışlardır. İnancın iktisadi davranışlarımızı
ve duruşumuzu etkilemesi ve bunun yanında paranın dini algılamaları ve ayak
uydurmaları belirlemesi, iki alanın ne derece çok etkileşimde olduğu,
sosyologların ve ekonomistlerin gözünden bizlere aktarılmıştır. Biz de bu
çalışmamızda, elimizden geldiğince, bu ilişkiyi kağıda dökmeye çalıştık.
<p>This article examines the modern process of aestheticization of culture and religion as consequent unfolding of the expansion of market rationality to the subjective life and the libidinal sphere of subjects. Its main objective is to inquire about the future of religion under the impact of sensation seeking culture and the inflation of aesthetics. Firstly, with the help of Türcke, Welsch, Foucault and Schultze´s investigate the aestheticization process of of social life, its causes and characteristics; Secondly, following Dufour, Türcke Leiss, Kline, Jhally e Welsch, it asks how the dynamics of aesthetical impacts the daily life and the bio-psychic economy of people; thirdly, it applies the results obtained to the analysis of what is happening with religion under the regime of aesthetics and sensational culture. Finally, it asks about the possible emancipatory potential of aestheticized own religious experience and tries to draw some further consequences for religion in the aesthetic field.</p>
