Polish Adolescents’ Perceptions of English and Their Desire to Learn It
2016
In the process of foreign language learning the way in which students perceive the language may have a strong facilitative impact on their language acquisition process, especially when this perception is positive (Despagne, 2010). Unfortunately, it has not yet been clearly established whether the relationship between perceptions and foreign language achievement can be explained by the moderating power of the student’s desire to learn the foreign language. For the purpose of this paper it is hypothesized that the learner’s perception of the foreign language is strongly related to the desire to learn it, leading to higher achievement in cases of positive perception. In order to corroborate th…
Witkaco-Gombrowiczowskie tęsknoty i pragnienia, czyli od metafizyki do estetyki : interpretacje Jerzego Jarockiego
2016
Artykuł prezentuje sylwetki dwóch fascynujących twórców dwudziestowiecznego polskiego dramatu, opisanych na przykładzie Grzebania1 i Błądzenia2 - spektakli Jerzego Jarockiego. Opowiada o tęsknotach, pragnieniach, fobiach Stanisława Ignacego Witkiewicza i Witolda Gombrowicza, z których pierwszy uporczywie dążył do formy, a drugi - od formy pragnął się wyzwolić. „Palę, piję i nic mi to nie szkodzi” - pisał Witkacy w przedmowie do swoich Narkotyków. Z kolei Gombrowicz ustawicznie pisał o sobie, czyniąc z siebie samego bohatera własnych utworów. Jako punkt wyjścia dla moich rozważań wybrałam odmienne sposoby poszukiwania i zaspokajania pragnień duchowych oraz cielesnych.
What is your couple type? Gender ideology, housework-sharing, and babies
2015
AbstractBACKGROUNDIt is increasingly acknowledged that not only gender equality but also gender ideology plays a role in explaining fertility in advanced societies. In a micro perspective, the potential mismatch between gender equality (i.e., the actual sharing taking place in a couple) and gender ideology (i.e., attitudes and beliefs regarding gender roles) may drive childbearing decisions.OBJECTIVEThis paper assesses the impact of consistency between gender equality in attitudes and equality in the division of household labour on the likelihood of having another child, for different parities.METHODSRelying on two-wave panel data of the Bulgarian, Czech, French, Hungarian, and Lithuanian G…
Amantadine in the Treatment of Sexual Inactivity in Schizophrenia Patients Taking Atypical Antipsychotics—The Pilot Case Series Study
2021
Sexual dysfunctions in people with schizophrenia are more severe than in the general population and are an important element in the treatment of schizophrenia. The mechanism of sexual dysfunction in patients treated for schizophrenia may be related to the side effects of antipsychotic drugs (hyperprolactinemia, suppression of the reward system), but it may also be related to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia itself. The aim of the study was to present the possibility of using amantadine in the treatment of sexual dysfunction in schizophrenia without the concomitant hyperprolactinemia. In an open and naturalistic case series study, five men treated for schizophrenia in a stable mental state …
Sexology as a challenge to the health care system: the Norwegian version
2006
Originally published in Sexologies,Elsevier. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sexol.2005.11.009 Medical doctors and psychologist represent the largest groups of professionals working with sexological problems in Norway, with one third each. The last third consists of different health and educational professionals. Forty-three percent reported that they have undergone some training programs in sexology. This is the lowest educational level in all the countries surveyed in the context of the "Euro-Sexo" study. Seventy-one percent declared that they have had individual supervision and 49% had group supervision in sexology. 93.2% are in clinical practice, but for most of them, this is a minor part o…
Therapy of erectile dysfunction (ED) with sildenafil improves quality of life (QoL) and partnership (QoP)
2004
According to Maslow [1] and others, higher levels of individual and social functioning can only be achieved and maintained, when more basic and particularly physiological levels of functioning are satisfactory and healthy (Fig. 1). Satisfactory partnership and sexuality are core aspects of human wellbeing through the complete course of adulthood. Sexual activity is a major determinant of sexual satisfaction [2]. In men and women, sexual dysfunction as a disorder of sexual desire, arousal, or orgasm, and/or sexual pain results in personal distress and reduced quality of life and interpersonal relationships [3, 4, 5, 6]. Erectile dysfunction (ED) as the inability to attain or maintain penile …
Voices from the past: memory and desire in Marina Warner’s radio play Brigit’s Cell
2020
This article examines Marina Warner’s radio play Birgitta’s Cell (BBC Radio 4), later published as Brigit’s Cell (2010) focusing on the themes of memory and desire. By drawing on Jan Assman’s theories on collective memory, the article shows how the two time levels Warner builds in the radio drama succeed in creating a fresh connection between women in the past and in the present as well as between individual and collective experience. The analysis of Warner’s work focuses on the dramatization of the story, taking into account the results offered by the use of the spoken word, fragments of dialogues, interior monologues, silences, enhanced, by its initial destination for the radio.
