When we complete sequential movements with different intentions, we plan our movements and adjust ahead. Such a phenomenon is called anticipatory planning for prior intentions and is known to decline with age. In daily life activities, we often need to consider and plan for multiple demands in one movement sequence. However, previous studies only considered one dimension of prior intentions, either different types of onward actions or different precisions of fit or placement. Therefore, in this study, we investigated anticipatory planning for both extrinsic (movement direction) and intrinsic (fit precision) target-related properties in a computer-based movement task and analyzed the computer cursor movement kinematics of both young and older adults. We found that older people consider and adjust for different properties step-by-step, with movement direction being considered as a prior intention during reach movement and fit precision as a motor constraint during drop movement. The age-related changes in the completion of onward actions are constrained by one’s general cognitive ability, sensorimotor performance and effective motor planning for prior intentions. Age-related decline in motor planning can manifest as counterproductive movement profiles, resulting in suboptimal performance of intended actions.
Szegedtől dél-délkeleti irányban, a Tisza és a Maros folyó találkozásától az Aranka (Harangod) vonaláig bezárt „háromszögben” terül el a Kárpát-medence egyik kevésbé ismert középtája, a Marosszög. A Marosszög természetföldrajzi értelemben az Alsó-Tisza vidékének — s egyben a Bánságnak mint történeti földrajzi régiónak — mintegy 1500 km2-nyi kiterjedésű mezorégiója, amely Trianon óta Szerbia, Románia és Magyarország határ menti perifériája. A régió szerepét a Kárpát-medence földrajzi munkamegosztásában évszázadokon keresztül stratégiai helyzete határozta meg. E tekintetben kiemelkedett a Maros folyó nagy régiókat összekötő tranzit szerepe és a Szeged–Temesvár közötti kapcsolatokat realizáló — a régión áthaladó — szárazföldi úthálózat jelentősége.
The purpose of the article is to investigate the features of development of the value component of personal identity in student age empirically.
Methods of the research. For the research there were used the following theoretical methods: analysis, synthesis, systematization, generalization of theoretical and empirical data on the research problem; empirical ones like testing by methods: “Methodology for personal identity research” (Колесніченко, 2020); “Methodology for diagnosis the level of reflexivity development” (Колесніченко, 2020); “Portrait of Values” (Семків, 2013); “Self-Assessment Questionnaire Test” (Сенчина, 2019); methods of mathematical statistics: descriptive statistics, correlation analysis.
Results of the research. It has been established that the students under study have the identity status “Moratorium”, which is characterized by an identity crisis. The study of the value orientations has shown that the values of hedonism, kindness, and achievement are priorities for today’s student youth. In the course of the study of self-attitude, such components as self-respect, autosympathy and self-interest have been analyzed. It has been found that the studied students have an average level of self-respect. Self-sympathy of the subjects has an average level: in general, students are characterized by a favorable attitude towards themselves. Indicators of students’ self-interest are at a level higher than the average, which indicates the presence of a stable cognitive attitude to one’s own “Self”, interest in one’s own thoughts and feelings. It has been established that the average level of development of reflexivity prevails among student youth: students reflect on their current activities, are inclined to introspection in certain life situations.
Conclusions. The conducted correlation analysis has confirmed the presence of significant positive relationships between the selected components of the value component of identity and the general status of identity. This indicates that value orientations, self-attitude and reflexivity can act as meaningful components of the value component of students’ personal identity, which has confirmed the proposed assumption.
AbstractThis article offers theoretical reflections on the study of religion and the Internet by critically discussing the notion of “digital religion” (Campbell 2012). In particular, it stresses the importance of integrating material and spatial approaches to the study of digital religion. In doing so, it proposes the theory of “hypermediated religious spaces” to describe processes of religious mediation between online and offline environments by taking into account materiality and space. The article discusses theoretical perspectives by means of case studies: first, the importance of materiality within Internet practices is illustrated through the example of Neo-Pagan online rituals; second, the notion of space, and “third space” in particular, in relation to Internet practices is analyzed through the case of the hashtag #Nous-Sommes-Unis, circulated by French Muslims; third, the theory of hypermediated spaces is exemplified by the analysis of a live-streamed mass in the Italian city of Manerbio during the Covid-19 lockdown. The article aims at kindling scholarly reflections on terminologies and theories for the global and interdisciplinary study of digital religion.

La calidad de vida familiar (CdVF) es considerada el objetivo último de la intervención en Atención Temprana (AT) y un indicador de la calidad de estos servicios. La eficacia de los programas de AT debe objetivarse considerando este constructo junto con otros resultados familiares, además de los relativos al progreso del menor. A este efecto, el presente estudio analiza la CdVF y la confianza y competencia parental de 43 familias españolas de niños y niñas de 0 a 6 años en AT, y examina el rol predictor y mediador de la confianza y competencia parental en la CdVF. Se lleva a cabo un estudio transversal, correlacional y descriptivo. Las medidas utilizadas son la Everyday Parenting Scale (versión modificada) y la escala Con-Fam de competencia parental en AT. Asimismo, se utiliza la Escala de Calidad de Vida de las familias en Atención Temprana (FEIQoL). Los resultados indican una percepción aceptable de CdVF, así como de confianza y competencia parental de las familias. Existe una fuerte relación directa entre la confianza y competencia parental y la CdVF. Se encuentra que características de servicio de AT como un mayor número de profesionales se relacionan con una menor confianza y competencia parental, una peor percepción del funcionamiento del niño y, en consecuencia, menos CdVF. Se presentan implicaciones para futuros estudios y prospectiva para los servicios.

Aims: Is there evidence for increased psychological distress and alterations in personality functioning in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) compared to healthy controls (HCs)?Background: In patients with CD and UC, perceived stress is closely associated with changes in disease activity. The stress response is influenced by psychological burden and personality functioning, but only little is known about these factors in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).Study: A total of 62 patients with an endoscopic ensured CD/UC without remission (n = 31 per group) and 31 HC were included. Patients with an active CD/UC and HC were individually matched (n = 93, 31 per group) for age, sex, education, and disease activity. Depression and anxiety were assessed to evaluate the effect of psychological burden (Patient Health Questionnaire-9/PHQ-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7/GAD-7). Personality functioning was measured by validated questionnaires for psychodynamic structural characteristics, mentalization, and attachment (Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis-Structure Questionnaire/OPD-SQ, Mentalization Questionnaire/MZQ, and Experiences in Close Relationships scale/ECR-RD 12).Results: Levels of depression and anxiety were higher in CD/UC patients than in HC with large effect sizes. Comparing personality functioning in CD/UC with HC, psychodynamic structural characteristics differed between CD/UC and HC with medium effect sizes, with structural differences occurring primarily in the domain of self-perception and regulation. Only minor differences were found regarding mentalization and attachment. CD and UC differed only with small effect sizes.Conclusion: Our data show that compared to HC, patients with CD/UC are characterized by a higher level of psychological burden and structural alterations in the domain of self.

Interest in studying the different transitions faced by elite athletes throughout their careers has grown significantly in recent years. While transition from secondary school to university is an important research area in Europe, there is a void of studies on how student-athletes experience the transition to specific degrees. One of the most sought-after university degrees among elite athletes in Spain is a degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences (PASS). The first aim of this study was to investigate the main demands, barriers, and resources perceived by elite student-athletes in various phases of dual career transition to a university degree in PASS. The second aim was to identify the transition pathways pursued depending on the subjective importance they attached to sport and education. Eleven elite student-athletes (Mage = 20.7, SD = 1.6 years) who were in their second and third year of the degree in PASS participated in semi-structured interviews. Deductive-inductive thematic analysis of the interview transcripts revealed three main themes: (a) general university transition issues, (b) PASS-specific transition issues, and (c) transition pathways. Our results show that the close link between sport and the content of the degree was perceived by the elite student-athletes as their main resource. This link, however, was also perceived as a major barrier as the compulsory practical subjects entailed a risk of injury or overtraining that could affect both athletic and academic development. We noticed how the importance they attached to sport or studies varied at different moments of the transition period, a phenomenon we termed “fluid transition pathways.” Dual career promotion for elite athletes is an important part of European sports policy, and our findings provide new knowledge that could help Spanish PASS faculties develop specific assistance programs to support transitioning student-athletes.
Se analiza la apuesta ontológica de Arturo Escobar a partir de dos formas en las que esta se expresa, para vislumbrar los alcances y limitaciones de esta concepción ontológica. La primera concepción radica en lo que el autor denomina ontología relacional y la segunda versa en la llamada ontología política. El texto está dividido en cuatro apartados, el primero introduce al lector a lo que representa la pregunta por el ser, haciendo hincapié en Martin Heidegger. El segundo expone brevemente el contexto que se puede evidenciar en la apuesta académica del antropólogo colombiano a través del giro ontológico, desarrollado desde la antropología, en el que se destaca una crítica al paradigma occidental dualista naturaleza/cultura y, a su vez, de la teoría decolonial que denuncia a la Modernidad y la vigencia de la colonialidad de ser, para así poder comprender la propuesta de la ontología relacional de Escobar. El tercer apartado expresa desde las categorías de territorio y pluriverso una premisa fundamental: pensar lo político presupone una ontología, es decir, una visión de mundo sobre lo que es y está, de esta manera se articula el proyecto de la ontología desde la relacionalidad con luchas que reivindican los mundos y los derechos de las comunidades; en el cuarto y último apartado se exponen los alcances y límites de la ontología de Escobar, así como caminos posibles para considerar en investigaciones futuras.
In the following article we will analyze the notions of anxiety and despair developed by Sören Kierkegaard in The Concept of Anxiety and in the Treaty of Despair in order to highlight their importance for this Danish author and, in turn, we will glimpse his determinant role in the concrete relations with the others described by Jean-Paul Sartre in the Being and the Nothingness. Our working hypothesis states that Sartre follows the Kierkergaardian structure for despair and therefore he condemns to failure the relations with the others. We consider that notions of anxiety and despair of Kierkegaard analyzed in this article are the core of the problem for the French author, because, only by studying them, it will be possible to discuss and intervene the concept of bad faith in Sartre that determines the failure of concrete relationships with the others in Being and Nothingness.
Znaczna część filozoficznych dowodów na istnienie Boga oraz innych prób mówienia
o Nim stara się sprostać jedynie kanonom racjonalności, tym samym raczej wyklucza
dojście do takiego obrazu Boga, który może być Bogiem religii. Zubiri stara się przedstawić
taką filozoficzną drogę do Boga, w wyniku której otrzymany obraz Boga będzie
jednocześnie Bogiem religii. Wymaga to jednak częściowego odejścia od racjonalności
na rzecz rozumności, gdzie rozumność to zgodność z życiem człowieka.
This article analyses key works of the well-known classic of Islamic studies A.-M. Schimmel and demonstrates that in her legacy the methodology of classical phenomenology of religion has found its fresh application to the study of Islam. The article focuses on essential points of A.-M. Schimmel’s biography that had infl uenced her academic career, and then analyses her phenomenological approach showing how she builds a system of description of Islam by means of systematising religious phenomena that proceeds from external forms (material objects) to the centre of religion, God. Phenomenological analysis of Islam provides a base for comprehensive understanding and description of religious phenomena, starting from the perception of stone, holiday, clothes, myth in minds of ordinary Muslims. Schimmel’s phenomenological approach to Islam takes into account the specifi city of lived religion prior to the emergence of this trend. A.-M. Schimmel’s legacy therefore fits in the context of contemporary religious studies. The second part of the article examines the influence of leading scholars in phenomenology of religion (Mircea Eliade, Gerardus van der Leeuw, Friedrich Heiler) on A.-M. Schimmel. It is concluded that the positive reception of her work among scholars of Islam and among Muslims themselves suggests that the language of the phenomenological description is the language of religious dialogue.
Purpose. In order to consistently distinguish between violence, which is always primarily a destructive force, and the civilized use of force that involves constructive, creative goals, one should explore the main possible philosophical approaches to understand the nature of violence and try to give it a systematic outline. Methodology. This study uses a systematic approach to identify the internal relationship between different forms of violence and, accordingly, the counteraction against violence. Also, the author uses an axiology to identify the values that are the basis for distinguishing violence from its prototypes, as well as for the distinction between violence and coercion, as well as different types of coercion. Originality. This article presents significant clarifications on the classification of types of violence, in particular, it is clearly established that certain types of violence can not have ethical relevance, since they belong to the sphere of biology (expansion, aggression) or social anthropology (cultural, institutional coercion). Actually violence or violence in the narrow sense implies the existence of will, consciousness and destructive purpose. Accordingly, counteraction against violence should include the formation of a certain non-violent type of will, non-violent culture and creative, constructive goals. This requires both personal effort and institutional support and the availability of appropriate moral traditions. Ethical theory is intended to clarify and systematize these efforts. In this sense, ethics is the core of practical philosophy. To the extent that the influence of ethics on changes in human culture and sociality in the counterfactual regime is increasing, one should also speak of the anthropological significance of ethics. Conclusions. From the socio-philosophical point of view, it is necessary to specify exactly which social institutions and in which constellation generate violence. The ethical aspect of the study of violence involves categorizing the problem in terms of good and evil: violence is evil, as opposed to coercion, which can be justified, legitimated - but always from the point of view of promoting the development of society and the individual, encouraging the disclosure of his creative potential. Counterfactuality acts as an important ethical category, which reveals the transformation mechanism applied by human relative to himself and society while focusing on the values of goodness and other constructive and creative values.
<p>Diversos estudios han mostrado la relación entre la no existencia de una actividad académica o laboral fuera del hogar y el nivel de depresión. Si bien la desesperanza es considerada como el tercer componente de la tríada negativa de la depresión, no se han encontrado investigaciones que relacionen la actividad, cualquiera sea, fuera del hogar y este factor. Se comparó el nivel de desesperanza en 45 mujeres considerando si realizaban una actividad fuera del hogar o no. No se observaron niveles de desesperanza significativos en las mujeres que no ejecutaban tareas extrahogareñas. Sin embargo se encontró una correlación significativa entre la desesperanza y una vida social centrada en la familia. También se halló correlación significativa, pero débil, entre la ocupación fuera del hogar y una vida social exterior al mismo. Se puede concluir que las actividades, ya sean laborales o académicas, serían un factor preventivo de la desesperanza sólo en la medida en que generen una mayor vida social.</p>

Islam is a religion, based on god revelation is no doubt inside. Every Muslim realizes this truth. In the other hand, Islam is not only dichotomist religion but also science which could not be separated from the knowledge and technology improvement nowadays. The focus of Islam is on Islamic science. At the previous decades, there was sciences dichotomy between Islamic science and general science such as physics, social, humanist, and so on. That reality is happened on some Islamic institution as Islamic science learning administration and improvement practitioners. An unacceptable condition will be arise if this dichotomy problem is not solved by the stakeholders.This study is focus on paradigm and implementation approach of integration-interconnection in Islamic religion education learning.
