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.
Increasingly, countries world-over are promoting citizenship in the planned curricula in schools as a medium of sustaining cohesion and unity within the society. This study employed the praxis of Kenneth Kaunda’s African humanist philosophy ideas in enhancing citizenship education in primary school education. Since this is a philosophical inquiry, the study adopted conceptual analysis as the main technique of investigation. Conceptual analysis is a traditional method of clarifying constructs in the form of a philosophical inquiry. Philosophers use this technique to clarify the meanings and boundaries of concepts to enhance understanding. The study found out that Zambian humanism is a critical worldview in championing citizenship education in Kenya since its ideas are consistent with the Basic Education curriculum Framework of 2017 and Chapter Six of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 on Leadership and Integrity.
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 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. The character values applied are: sincerity, honesty, responsibility, hard work, and tasammuh.
This essay focuses on characteristic of pragmatism and its philosophical function in pragmatism milieu that has been improved by Richard Rorty. It dicussess Rorty’s famous book: Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature. In Rorty’s view, pragmatism is a new philosophy orientation that goes beyond modern Western epistemology tradition. Epistemology in Western tradition since the 16-17 Century have been deeply influenced by Descartes, Locke and Kant, who spent great effort in stipulating all formal a priori categories as foundational constitutive factors of human knowledge. Such fondational knowledge is believed to represent reality and creates abstract-apriori and contemplation world. Instead of contemplation, Rorty pragmatism suggests a reverse way of knowing by introducing to the virtue of human’s concrete dimension which is united with dimension of action. In other words, understanding Rorty’s characteristic of pragmatism the same way to understand his critics against modern Western epistemology which has only created an abstract world and contemplation. The paper offers three parts of discussions; firstly, Rorty’s view on modern Western epistemology; followed by general characteristic of Rorty’s pragmatism, and last, its consequence toward philosophy function. Through pragmatism, Rorty affirms his support to plurality of human values and interest as concrete subject.
<p>Este artículo trata sobre la permisividad del delito, el silencio, la falta de castigo, el encubrimiento, la complicidad y la negativa a colaborar con la justicia que convierten la pederastia no solo en una agresión sexual individual, sino en una práctica legitimada estructural e institucionalmente –al menos de manera indirecta– por la jerarquía eclesiástica en todos sus niveles en una cadena de ocultamiento que va desde la más alta autoridad eclesiástica hasta el pederasta, pasando por los eslabones intermedios del poder religioso.</p><p><strong>Palabras Clave:</strong> Poder, violencia, pederastia, jerarquía</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong>:</p><p>This article deals with the permissiveness of crime, silence, lack of punishment, concealment, complicity and refusal to collaborate with justice that make pederasty not only an individual sexual aggression, but also a legitimized structural and institutionally practice –at least indirectly– by the ecclesiastical hierarchy at all levels in a chain of concealment that goes from the highest ecclesiastical authority to the pederast, passing through the intermediary links of religious power.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Power, violence, pederasty, hierarchy</p>
Com este artigo, pretendo fazer uma análise não só da origem etimológica dos termos latinos bonum e malum, como também de suas acepções nas doutrinas de Agostinho e Schopenhauer. O meu intuito é mostrar que o summum bonum de Agostinho, constituindo, com efeito, uma herança do ágathos platônico, possui uma significação moral. E, por conseguinte, a doutrina da negação da vontade de Schopenhauer, por ser uma retomada da ideia cristã da graça como summum bonum, deve também apresentar tal significação. Das minhas análises resultará que a tradução mais adequada para bonum e malum é, respectivamente, “bom” e “mau”, pois assim conserva-se o sentido original moral dos termos latinos, ao mesmo tempo em que se ressalta o papel moral que eles ocupam nas doutrinas dos filósofos mencionados.
This paper starts from the findings of the latest study of social structure in Serbia (2012), which show a significant reduction of vertical social mobility, especially for further inter-stratum distance. In light of these data, the author considers that we have to re-examine earlier, very biting evaluation of some Serbian sociologists concerning 'closeness' for mobility of the society in socialist Serbia. The author analyzes and re-evaluated findings of earlier research (Janićijević, 1970; Flere and Đurđev, 1982/3; Bogdanovic, 1986; 1988; Vukovic, 1989). He concludes that very brisk evaluation of mobility in the Serbian society during socialism is a consequence of schematic interpretation of these findings with Yasuda 's index.
