A Shock to the System: HIV among Older African Women in Zimbabwe

2018

HIV remains a threat to the ordinary everyday life of older woman in African society. In what can be called “a reality shock,” HIV challenges most of the ordinary everyday endeavors in conservative African societies as it imposes new Western prevention, treatment, and health-management methods over long-held African traditions. The reality of the “Western” HIV epidemic, and its impact on the “African” ordinary everyday life, demands that the infected undergo a paradigm shift in order for them to live harmoniously within their society. This calls for a re-examination of traditional values and a strong sense of responsibility, courage, and determination to remain relevant and not be considere…

2019

The proposed topie concerns mainly social pedagogy and has already been discussed in Polish studies. The article concentrates mainly on the role model of a courageous woman, and to emphasize the characteristic meaning of fight, both the spiritual as well as armed, which is - according to the author of the text — a strong trend of interpreting national history and a characteristic element for edu- cation. It has led to the formation of a positive image of a woman-Christian heroine commemorated in next centuries.

Zalecenia i zachęty do życia doskonałego w korespondencji Grzegorza z Nazjanzu

2017

The text of the article is an analysis of Gregory of Nazianzus’ comments on Christian perfection. They were selected from his letters written in his family regions after returning from Constantinople, where he occupied for two years the position in the episcopal capital. It was a period of almost ten years of his life, until his death in 390, in which he contacted many people mainly through letters, because weak health prevented him from traveling frequently. The analysis of the letters showed that the threads containing recommendations, warnings, cautions, and encouragements were numerous in them. They have been divided in three categories of addresses, i.e. clergy and monks, lay people an…

The Use of Latent Semantic Analysis in the Positive Psychology: A Comparison with Twitter Posts

2017

In the last decade, the positive psychology and specifically the 'Positive Youth Development' (PYD) give efforts to positive aspect and strength that performance as protective factors of adjustment problems and psycho-social well-being, such as courage. To better understand the definition of courage in Italian context, 1199 participants were involved in the present study and we asked them to answer to the following question "Courage is...". The participant's definitions of courage were analyzed with the Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), in order to study the "fundamental concepts" arising from the population. An analogous comparison with Twitter posts has been also carried out.

2020

Positive thinking constitutes one of the great traditions that lead to the idea of the subject as an entrepreneur of himself and is perhaps one of the best that has successfully condensed cultural, political, social and pedagogical processes linked to reflection on well-being in this historical time. The teaching work is especially moved by the pregnancy of these perspectives that challenge the pedagogical field and the education workers as ?agents of change, or at least one more school available to give the discussion on well-being and happiness (yours and the students?) is celebrated and encouraged. In this article, I intend to understand what is being built as pedagogical discourses abou…

Can we organize courage? Implications of Foucault's parrhesia

2012

Ethics in organizations, raising concerns, and whistleblowing have been previously theorized through Foucault's work on the power/knowledge bond. However, approaching these issues through the work from Foucault's third period on parrhesia, or fearless speech remains an underdeveloped route. This paper contributes to this emerging research stream. Based on Foucault's work on parrhesia, and the importance of courage for fearless speech to occur, we theorize the possibility of critique within organizations as a moment of disorganizing, which requires a chain of parrhesia where not only the speaker but also the hearer requires courage. The paper examines the possibility and risks of organizing …

2021

Angļu valoda kā svešvaloda ir sarežģīta valoda latviešu skolēnu apguvei. Darba autores pieredzē skolēniem trūkst pārliecības par sevi, lai runātu angliski. Šādu problēmu var skaidrot ar personības iezīmēm, vārdu krājuma trūkumu vai bailēm. Diplomdarba pētījuma mērķis ir izzināt, kā spēļošanas elementi runāšanas aktivitātēs var iedrošināt 3.klases skolēnus iesaistīties runāšanas aktivitātēs kādā no Rīgas pamatskolām. Pētījuma metode ir gadījuma pētījums, kas ietver analīzi par skolēnu iesaistīšanos runāšanas aktivitātēs, novērojumus no stundām ar spēļošanas elementu aktivitātēm un intervijas ar divām 3.klases angļu valodas kā svešvalodas skolotājām kā datu ieguves metodes. Tika atklāts, ka s…
