A Mindfulness-Based Program Improves Health in Caregivers of People with Autism Spectrum Disorder: a Pilot Study
2014
Mindfulness-based interventions have demonstrated to be effective in reducing stress and health complaints in clinical populations. However, to our knowledge, biological health markers have not been used in studies of the effectiveness of mindfulness programs in caregivers of people with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). This study aimed to assess the effects of a mindfulness intervention on mood disturbances and health complaints in this population compared with non-caregivers. The design of the study was quasi-experimental, with repeated measures. Self-reported health, cortisol awakening response (CAR), and afternoon cortisol levels before and after a mindfulness session were assessed at …
Long-Term Effects of Mind-Body Exercises on the Physical Fitness and Quality of Life of Individuals With Substance Use Disorder—A Randomized Trial
2020
Background: Mind-body exercises (MBE) are sequences of low to medium-intensity activities that benefit healthy performers physically and mentally. In contrast to the unmodified application of traditional tai chi, qi gong, or yoga in the healthy population, MBEs are typically tailored for individuals with substance abuse disorder (SUD). Despite numerous applications in practice, the detailed effects of tailor-made MBEs for SUD are unclear.Objectives: This study aimed to analyze and compare changes in the physical fitness and quality of life of individuals with SUD that underwent conventional or tailor-made MBEs.Methods: A total of 100 subjects obtained from the Shanghai Mandatory Detoxificat…
A Group Intervention to Promote Resilience in Nursing Professionals: A Randomised Controlled Trial
2022
In this study, a new group intervention program to foster resilience in nursing professionals was tested for efficacy. In total, 72 nurses were recruited and randomised to either an intervention condition or to a wait list control condition. The study had a pre-test, post-test, follow-up design. The eight-week program targeted six resilience factors: cognitive flexibility, coping, self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-care, and mindfulness. Compared to the control group, the intervention group reported a significant improvement in the primary outcome mental health (measured with the General Health Questionnaire) from pre-test (M = 20.79; SD = 9.85) to post-test (M = 15.81; SD = 7.13) with an est…
Una certa dualità. Il problema mente-corpo e il paradosso della thinking matter
2022
Starting from the hypothesis of a continuity between the separability of the intellect mentioned in De Anima and the Cartesian mens, in this entry we propose a version of what in contemporary debate on the mind-body problem is considered a third way between cerebral monism and the dualism of substances, that is the theory of the double aspect. Beyond the usual reference to qualia, the irreducibility of the mental to the physical could be argued through a reference to the transcendental dimension of consciousness. The result is an update dualistic perspective, in which the mind, while depending for some aspects on the nervous system, does not have an exclusively biological nature, rather con…
The Evolution of Jane Eyre in Film Adaptation:from Classic Female Stereotype to Independent Woman
2022
Jane Eyre is one of the English novels that has been most adapted for the big screen. The recreation of the Victorian atmosphere by Charlotte Brontë, the female author of the novel, as well as the universe of its main character, an orphaned girl who manages to survive as a governess in a hostile environment, have been especially interesting for the film world. Furthermore, Jane Eyre’s markedly feminist character has converted her into a pioneering character in this medium, in addition to determining her timelessness. With the aim of gaining further insights into the representation of Jane Eyre in the film adaptations directed by Robert Stevenson (1944), Franco Zeffirelli (1996) and Cary Fuk…
Maternidades siniestras en los mind-game films (1990-2020)
2022
En este artículo pretendemos atender a la representación de la figura de la madre en los denominados por la academia como mind-game o puzzle films. Sin que ni el espectador ni, frecuentemente, las propias protagonistas lo sepan, las películas que estudiaremos sostienen su relato sobre subjetividades delirantes, sobre puntos de vista engañosos. La enunciación fílmica, cómplice del autoengaño, amnesia o trauma de los personajes, traslada su percepción alterada de la realidad al espectador. Aquí proponemos que una parte importante de este heterogéneo corpus plantea relatos en los que la causa del delirio es la pérdida dolorosa, y no aceptada, de un niño. A lo largo del texto procuraremos anali…
2015 : « Le vouloir-dire et le silence des langues », dans Acta linguistica, Journal for Theoretical Linguistics, Banská Bystrica, Ekonomická fakulta…
2015
This paper deals with so-called “mind-saying” and “silence of languages”. These concepts mainly belong to cognitive linguistics and specifically to “linguistic neoteny” (theory of uncompleted speaker). Every human being develops a different cognitive relation with the languages he speaks. Nevertheless, those languages obligate him to accept cognitive restrictions to deal with quantity, quality and frequency of the formulations. The restrictions force the speaker to choose between the linguistic production (le dire) and the lack of linguistic production (le non-dire). In the first case, the enunciation is built with the units needed for the expression and the expressiveness of the language. …

Mindfulness-acceptance-commitment program for athletes and exercisers : an action research case study
2016
Control-based psychological skills training (PST) practices have been widely capitalized on in sport for the past few decades, despite inconsistent empirical evidence of their efficacy on sport performance. The Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment (MAC) program has preliminary support as an additional approach in performance enhancement, however, there is very limited research involving its implementation especially within group settings. Current study was aimed at planning, implementation, and evaluation of a seven-session MAC program among a diverse group of active athletes and regular exercisers (n=16). This study was an educational action research case study with a mixed method design. Per…
