Self-Criticism in In-Work Poverty: The Mediating Role of Social Support in the Era of Flexibility

In-work poverty reflects situations of income below the poverty threshold among employed people, involving a deterioration of wellbeing. The International Labour Organization prioritises this situation, which in countries such as Spain, Germany or Italy reaches rates of 11.8%, 10.6% and 11.8%, respectively. Within a context of flexibility, the occupational situation tends to be understood as an individual responsibility, which is why this study analyses the increase in self-criticism in these situations, and the role of social support in this relationship. The mediation of social support in the manifestation of self-criticism among people experiencing in-work poverty is analysed. The participants were 1430 employed people, grouped into those in a situation of poverty and those who are not. The results show that people in a situation of in-work poverty present a higher score in self-criticism and lower in social support. Social support is a mediating variable that prevents the manifestation of self-criticism. Lastly, a gender analysis shows that women experience this relationship more intensely. These findings enable a critical assessment of the activation policies that only take an individual approach. As an alternative, we propose strengthening interventions that foster social support, particularly among women.

The Architectural Typology of Contemporary Façades for Public Buildings in the European Context

In contemporary architecture, a border between an exterior and an interior—a façade—is variously designed in terms of form, style, response to climate or culture, individual approach or tools used. Despite the diversity and multi-tread theoretical and practical discourse, the Authors propose the typology of contemporary façades for public buildings (open to society) in the context of European cities by extracting comprehensive architectural features. The term systematic reflects the complexness of the issue by the newly proposed element. Namely, it is a representation of a particular architectural feature with the use of scale. The elaboration consists of (1) an introduction with a literature review and thesis, (2) our aim and method, (3) a historical background; case studies, and systematics introduction (4) conclusions with typology proposal.

The Value-Semantic Basis of Pedagogical Activity: a Comparative Analysis of the Position of Teachers and Pupils of Pedagogical Classes

The relevance of the research is justified by the tendency to implement the axiological approach in education in the context of the need to construct a single space for the training of pedagogical personnel, therefore the question of the value-semantic expectations from the teaching profession is important. The purpose of the work is to determine the teachers and pupil’s value-semantic foundations of pedagogical activity. Sample of the study: 61 pupils of teacher classes, 425 teachers. Methods: operationalization of existing standards (educational and professional) and conceptual content analysis, which made it possible to develop an author’s methodology of values, laid down by educational and professional standards and adapt the MUST-test (for diagnosing values for purposes). Results: pupils are focused mainly on themselves, and teachers are focused on creating conditions for their activities. The system-forming values of the first — the ability to implement an individual approach to the child and knowledge of developing technologies, and the second-knowledge of the characteristics and technologies for creating a safe and comfortable educational environment. Diagnosed the tendency for teachers to replace the actual values with the declared. Teachers and pupils have approximately equal values-relationships aimed at the educational environment and professional activity, but values whose goal is the child occupy lower places in the rating. In both groups all values are expressed approximately equally, but they put different personal meaning into them.

Does a denomination matter? Differences in religiosity and value systems between Catholics and Anglicans

The purpose of this empirical article is to investigate differences between two Christian denominations: Catholics and Anglicans in terms of religiosity and values. Religiosity was measured within dimensions of centrality of religiosity and religious coping, while the value system contained hedonic, vital, aesthetic, truth, moral, and sacred values. In addition, potential associations between the dimensions of religiosity and values were assessed. One hundred and fifty one participants (75 Catholics and 76 Anglicans) completed three questionnaires: the Centrality of Religiosity Scale, the Brief RCOPE Scale, and the Scheler Values Scale. The results demonstrated that Catholics were characterised by higher levels of religious dimensions representing communal worship related to the sacraments, while Anglicans more strongly favoured religious dimensions reflecting an individual approach to religiosity. Catholics also obtained higher levels of hedonic and vital values than Anglicans. In addition, there were significant associations between most dimensions of religiosity and sacred values. Taken together, the findings emphasise the need for a combined study of religiosity and values which appears central to the formation of people’s religious beliefs and behaviour.

Evensong: how the medical humanities can strengthen a patient-centred approach to both physical and mental health conditions

Summary The medical humanities may offer an antidote to the unconscious depersonalisation of patients into clinical variables and diagnoses at the hands of physicians, cultivating a patient-centred and individual approach to the management of both physical and mental health conditions. The emphasis on the person behind the diagnosis helps physicians to remain motivated and compassionate in the face of increasing social and organisational pressures that threaten this human connection. As a doctor and the relative of a patient with dementia, I reflect on the way in which poetry has helped to translate my experience as a relative into improving my own practice as a doctor. This article includes one of the poems I wrote during my grandmother's illness to aid reflection on the patient perspective I gained during her time in hospital, and also a brief commentary exploring the influence this process has had on the interactions I now have with my patients.

Transformations of drum rudiments in jazz performances

<p>A significant part of the training of many performers on the drum set during the last 100 years has involved mastery of drum rudiments and military-style cadences. Consequently, many jazz drummers have built upon such training to develop an individual style that makes use of some of the techniques and rhythms found in these rudiments and drum cadences but which have often been changed or modified in ways that made these rudimental military - style drumming excerpts suitable for their own stylized musical expression. Research Question: Is there evidence in the improvised drum solos of jazz drummers Philly Joe Jones and Steve Gadd to suggest that the rhythmic vocabulary, stickings and techniques they used had their origins in rudimental snare drum cadences, method books and published snare drum solos? If so, how has this content been adapted by each drummer in their musical context(s) to the purpose of communicating their individual approach on the drum set? Method: To propose answers to this question, I have examined representative solos by each of the drummers in my sample and examined those solos for evidence of rudimental content derived from renowned method books, etudes and published solos. Having identified these rudiments (or rudiment-derived ideas) I have sought to identify the possible origins of the rudiments and their transformation to each drummer’s soloing vocabulary. Representative Solos: To select representative solos, I auditioned many recordings by Jones and Gadd. I finally settled on Asiatic Raes, Jazz Me Blues and Joe’s Debut as performed by Philly Jo Jones; Crazy Army and The 11th Commandment as performed by Steve Gadd. These solos, (as I explain in my analysis), are usefully representative of the approaches adopted by the respective drummers and offer a useful window onto the issues this exegesis examines.</p>

CURRENT PROBLEMS OF THE APPLICATION OF AN INDIVIDUAL APPROACH IN THE PRESCRIPTION OF PERSONAL ORAL HYGIENE MEANS IN ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT

Relevance: The use of fixed orthodontic structures increases the risk of developing dental diseases. An effective way to prevent dental diseases is personalized training and monitoring of individual oral hygiene. Purpose of the work: To increase the effectiveness of the prophylaxy of dental diseases in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: The analysis of 60 medical records in the municipal and private clinics of Saratov was carried out. The age of the patients was 13–18 years old. There also was a survey among 15 orthodontists on the subject of the identifying difficulties of using the personification of an integrated approach. A questionnaire was given to the patients. The age of the respondents was 13–18 years old. Results: According to the analysis of data from medical records in municipal and private clinics, a low prevalence of the use of an individual approach in the prescription of personal oral hygiene products in patients undergoing treatment with the use of fixed orthodontic structures was revealed, which is associated with an insufficient amount of time for admission within the framework of the compulsory medical insurance system, and also with low compliance of patients and their parents, as well as low hygienic education of patients, insufficient government attention to preventive dentistry, and lack of labor rates for dental hygienists. When questioning patients, difficulties in adhering to recommendations for personal oral hygiene was revealed. Conclusions. We have developed an algorithm of actions to improve the effectiveness of individual oral hygiene among adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment. The proposed measures will increase the level of motivation and compliance of patients.

Effective Collaboration of Different Generations as a Tool for the Success of the Organizations

Job satisfaction of employees of organizations is a determinant of their success, high productivity of employees. Creating such a positive work environment require high demands on the work of managers - on their approach to their subordinates, on the style of leadership. An individual approach, knowledge about the differences of the individuals requires a high level of emotional intelligence.

Predicting Stand Volume by Number of Trees Automatically Detected in UAV Images: An Alternative Method for Forest Inventory

In this study, we estimate the forest stock volume by multiplying the number of trees detected remotely by the estimated mean individual volume of the population (individual approach). A comparison was made with the conventional inventory method (area approach), which included 100 simulations of a simple random sampling process and a Bootstrap resampling. The study area included three stands: stand 1, 16-year-old pine; stand 2, 7-year-old pine; and stand 3, 5-year-old eucalyptus. A census was carried out in each stand for the variables diameter and total height. Individual volume was estimated by a ratio estimator, and the sum of all volumes was considered as the total parametric volume. The area approach presented parametric values within the confidence interval for 91%, 94%, and 98% of the simulations for the three stands, respectively. The mean relative errors for the area approach were −3.5% for stand 1, 0.3% for stand 2, and −0.9% for stand 3. The errors in stands 1 and 3 were associated with the spatial distribution of the volume. The individual approach proved to be efficient for all stands, and their respective parametric values were within the confidence interval. The relative errors were 1% for stand 1, −0.7% for stand 2, and 1.8% for stand 3. For stand 1 and 3, this approach yielded better results than the mean values obtained by the area approach simulations (Bootstrap resampling). Future research should evaluate other remote sources of data and other forest conditions.
