O objetivo deste artigo é analisar fundamentos da ação pastoral, com vistas a compreender que a ação pastoral e a pregação são interdependentes, cuja relevância está intimamente ligada no envolvimento diário com aqueles que estão no “raio de alcance” pastoral. Inicialmente, com o intuito de compreender o ambiente social em questão, utiliza-se o método de etnografia da pesquisa social. Em seguida utiliza-se caminhos propostos pela Teologia Prática identificando princípios bíblicos para a pregação na ação pastoral com vistas a alcançar o objetivo de cuidar do ser humano conforme os ensinos do Evangelho de Jesus.  Busca-se alinhar neste texto a teoria com a prática do pesquisador no pastoreio de uma igreja Pentecostal. Assim, as perspectivas aqui registradas não visam a ser exaustivas ou normativas, mas fazem parte de um recorte no exercício pastoral nessa comunidade de fé.The purpose of this article is to analyse the basis of pastoral action in order to understand that both pastoral action and preaching are mutually dependent. The relevance of pastoral action is related to the daily engagement with those who are within the pastoral scope. Firstly, an ethnographic method of social research is used to properly understand the social environment at issue. Secondly, the paths proposed by Practical Theology were followed. They identify biblical principles for preaching in order to reach the goal of caring for the human being according to the teachings of Jesus. An alignment of the theory with the practice of the researcher as shepherding a Pentecostal church is attempted. Thus, the perspectives showed are not intended to be exhaustive or normative but they are taken from an example of the pastoral practice in that faith community.

Whilst the development of suitable technologies which provide opportunities for water recycling has moved on apace over the past decade, their practical application will not depend solely on effective and reliable engineering performance. Successful employment of preferred strategies and technologies will require an understanding of the social environment in which they are to be applied. The study reported below explores some of the attitudinal determinants of public acceptance of water recycling in the UK. Findings show that there is broad willingness to accept in-house water recycling as long as public health is not compromised.

SUMMARYWe argue that the spread of unhealthy behaviour shows marked similarities with infectious diseases. It is therefore interesting and challenging to use infectious disease methodologies for studying the spread and control of unhealthy behaviour. This would be a great addition to current methods, because it allows taking into account the dynamics of individual interactions and the social environment at large. In particular, the application of individual-based modelling holds great promise to address some major public health questions.

The aim of this article is to define and quantify the significant factors (social environment, access to the financial resources and macroeconomic environment), which determine the perception of the entrepreneurial propensity of students for starting a new business in the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic and Poland in academic year 2016/2017. Empirical research was realized through questionnaire on the basis of 1,352 students (more than 1%level of significance) of the economic universities in the last year of their study in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic and Poland. The statistical hypotheses were verified using multiple linear regression modelling. The results showed that the entrepreneurial propensity of students in all countries is mostly affected by the social environment. Czech students gave the social environment higher impact on the entrepreneurial propensity for starting a new business than Polish and Slovak students. The results indicate that access to the financial resources is also important for the entrepreneurial propensity of students in the Czech Republic. As for Polish and Slovak students, the access to the financial resources is not a significant factor to the entrepreneurial propensity in their countries. The results having been processed are the basic information for the academic community, public sector, ministry of education in the country, and other organizations whose effort is to help the students to start a new business in her/his country.

Both positive psychology and the person-centered approach share a common aim to promote human flourishing. In this article I will discuss how the person-centered approach is a form of positive psychology, but positive psychology is not necessarily person-centered. I will show how the person-centered approach offers a distinctive view of human nature that leads the person-centered psychologist to understand that if people are to change, it is not the person that we must try to change but their social environment. Centrally, the paper suggests that respecting the humanistic image of the human being and, consequently, influencing people's social environment to facilitate personal growth would mean a step forward for positive psychology and would promote cross-fertilization between positive psychology and the person-centered approach instead of widening their gap.

Nuostatos (angl. attitude) sąvoka psichologijoje atsirado siekiant paaiškinti suvokimo iliuzijas. Remdamasis eksperimentiniais tyrimais Dimitrijus Uznadzė (1886–1950) parodė, kad suvokimo iliuzijos nėra būdingos išskirtinai tik motorinės veiklos sričiai. Jos gali reikštis bet kurio modalumo suvokiniuose. Ž. Piažė gruzinų mokslininko tirtą nuostatos reiškinį pavadino Uznadzės efektu ir pritaikė jį savo plėtojamos intelekto raidos teorijos aiškinimui. Socialinė nuostata kaip nešališkos objektyvios tikrovės priedėlis reiškia tam tikrą išankstinį požiūrį į kitus žmones ir visą socialinę aplinką. Nuostatos skiriasi savo turiniu, komponentais ir susidarymo būdais. Socialinių nuostatų analizė grįsta asmens santykių (predispozicijų) su socialinėmis vertybėmis nustatymu. Iš esmės per nuostatas išreiškiamos ir pačios socialinės vertybės, ir atvirkščiai, per socialines vertybes – nuostatos. Nuostatų (ir socialinių vertybių) savumus galima matuoti skaitinėmis skalėmis. Mes savo tyrimų praktikoje naudojame 11 balų skalę. Tokia skale galima matuoti: socialinių vertybių valentingumą (teigiamą-neigiamą nuostatos kontinuumą), valentingumo stiprumą (kaip stipriai išreiškiama teigiama ar neigiama nuostata), palankumo zoną (kokio laipsnio nuostatos asmeniui dar priimtinos), tolerancijos zoną (kokio stiprumo nuostatas asmuo dar gali toleruoti), nuostatos siaurumo-platumo (aštrumo-difuziškumo) kontinuumą (kiek reikia padaryti žingsnelių norint išsiaiškinti, kokį reiškinių ar įvykių ratą nuostata aprėpia). Žmogaus psichinės raidos rezultatas yra sąmoninga, pažintinė ir morali elgsena. Į tokios raidos procesą nuostatos taip pat aktyviai įtrauktos. Aukščiausias žmogaus psichinės raidos apraiškas lemia būtent socialinės nuostatos.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: nuostatos, situacinė, dispozicinė ir sensorinė-motorinė nuostata, palankumo zona, tolerancijos zona.Basic points of the antropic attitude theoryNadirashvili D., † Nadirashvili S. SummaryThe reason for the introduction of the concept of attitude was the explanation of illusory perceptions. On the basis of experimental studies D. Uznadze demonstrated that the illusions of perception are connected not solely to the motor activity sphere. It can appear in every modality of perception. J. Piaget called the phenomenon identified in the above-mentioned method “the Uznadze effect” and used it for the characterization of specific stages of the development of intellect.Social attitude, in addition to the unprejudiced objective reality, implies disposition towards other people, social environment. Attitudes, besides differing by the content and components that are depicted in them, differ from each other by ways of formation.Characterization of social attitudes is performed according to what disposition exists towards the social values expressed through them. Its peculiarities are measured on a number scale. For this purpose we use an 11-point scale. On this scale, attitude is characterized by: valency – positive-negative disposition for social values; valency intensity – how more intensive is attitude valency according to positivity and negativity; the zone of acceptance, which expresses the intensity of attitudes acceptable for a person; the zone of toleration – a zone of the intensity of attitudes, which can be tolerated by a person; sharpness-diffusivity attitude, which shows by how many steps can the attitude of a person be characterized, etc.On the human being level of psyche development, conscious, cognitive, and moral behaviors emerge. Attitudes are actively involved in these processes as well. At the highest level of psyche development, the activity of a human being is determined by social attitudes.Key words: attitude, situational attitude, dispositional attitude, sensory-motorial attitude, zone of acceptance and toleration

With the introduction of obligatory registration of twins in Budapest on 1 January 1970, our team started the genetic and somatopsychic examination of twins. The program is being carried out in collaboration with the institutions of the Child Health Care Organisation of Budapest and the National Institute of Public Health.Since 1 January 1970, the placentae of twins born in Budapest are submitted to pathologic and histologic examination, and the twins living in Budapest are examined systematically by our clinical group at the age of six months, and one, two, and three years.In addition to studying the social environment, examinations are carried out with regard to pediatrics, anthropometric measurements, photographic documentation, dental examination, dermatoglyphics, cardiology, and neuropsychiatry. In order to define the genotype of the twins we used haptoglobins and blood groups.
