Chapter 1 recovers the importance of Laura Armstrong to Yeats’s beginnings as a poet and dramatist. In his relationship with Armstrong, Yeats begins the pattern of needing a challenging woman to start writing and to imagine himself in the role of playwright. The tensions between the two in terms of class and power—Armstrong came from a more financially stable family—and the approaching date of Armstrong’s wedding to another gave rise to the now familiar death wish in Yeats’s work for her. Yeats wrote out his anxieties about his parents’ marriage, his mother’s illness and depression, and his insecurities in the face of Armstrong’s high-handedness in the creation of these early plays, and his work for Armstrong stands as an important precursor for his lifetime of fruitful writing out for women; Armstrong began the patterns that Yeats would follow in his years of work for Maud Gonne

Film Policy

This chapter first analyses the two decades of policy development and debate that lay behind the creation of the Film Council. It details the rebirth of interest in film policy and consequent key interventions made by successive Conservative governments after 1979. The Conservatives’ deployment of film tax relief along with their use of the National Lottery as a funding body for film production is described. Next, the New Labour government’s invention of the Film Council in 2000 is considered, noting the diverse policy moves behind this and role of the Film Policy Review Group. The major impact of the creation of the Film Council on the veteran British Film Institute’s status and range of activity is made clear. The chapter highlights how New Labour’s deployment of the dual logics of using expertise and seeking rationalisation together changed the face of film support.

The first chapter explores sixteenth and seventeenth century Spanish medical, regulatory and moral discourses in order to show how they inherit, reproduce and propagate an amalgam of Western traditional concepts of the female embodiment. The exposition includes selected medical works from the fifteenth to the end of sixteenth century that deal with anatomic descriptions of bodily functions, the role of each sex in procreation, and the explanation of diseases, prophylactic measures and cures. In addition, chapter 1 examines discourses of the plague and syphilis in order to show how stigmatizing diseases particularly affected women. Besides medical treatises, the chapter examines influential moral works, such as Juan Luis Vives’s De Institutione Feminae Christianae (1524) and fray Luis de León’s La perfecta casada (1583), as well as discourses on poverty such as Vives’s De subventione pauperum (1525), and Cristóbal Pérez de Herrera’s Amparo de pobres (1598), to illuminate how the established conception of female mental and physical inferiority had detrimental consequences for her diminished social role.

Chapter 1 builds on several themes in the Introduction by providing an overview of violence against women in Africa and a background on the creation of specialized criminal justice sector mechanisms. It identifies commonalities in the types of violence experienced in most countries and in the causes of this violence, as well as in what states have done in response. It highlights the role of patriarchal gender norms in causing this violence and in shaping the criminal justice sector’s response. The chapter also identifies the international women’s justice norm and shows how it has constituted and has been constituted by various international instruments. It discusses the emergence of specialized criminal justice mechanisms and draws on secondary sources to develop a typology of these mechanisms and to document their spread across the continent.

The Creation

Widespread misleading stories circulating in networked public spheres have raised debates about their potential harm to democracies, organizations, and individuals. In the face of this challenge, educators have been rightly questioning how to prepare students to thrive in this so-called post-truth era. Scholarship on media and information literacies has often focused on incorporating new topics to address the issue and re-articulating learning goals. This body of work, however, does not address the question of how to deal with fast-paced changes that surround information disorder in the digital age. Based on Stuart Selber’s multiliteracies, this article proposes a set of competencies in combination with an analysis of the factors that contribute to the creation and circulation of false information. My argument focuses on students’ need to effectively identify misleading stories, thoughtfully question the role of technology in society, and ethically engage in civic dialogues. Taken together, these skills and knowledge provide a framework that they can expand upon as the landscape of information disorder shifts.

To this end, a qualitative research was carried out through a literature review, using the content analysis of the material found. Thus, it is noteworthy that the research follows a historical path of the suicidal phenomenon and the gestalt approach, in order to understand and discuss possible interventions in view of the imminence of the suicidal act. Furthermore, it is intended to reflect on the role of the Gestalt-therapist, facing this demand and how the person who attacks his own life is seen. That said, the role of the Gestalt-therapist with the management of suicide situations is highlighted, enabling an opening to listen to the death wish, acting in a way to carry out ethical, political and anthropological deviations, as well as welcoming the suffering of the consultants for the joint creation of new possibilities for the future beyond death. Therefore, the importance of the ethical-political commitment of the professional psychologist is highlighted in the face of the subject's suffering in the face of suicide.Keywords: Gestalt-Therapy; Suicide; Psychological clinic.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a widely represented species of bacteria possessing of a pathogenic potential. This infectious agent is causing wound infections, fibrotic cystitis, fibrosing pneumonia, bacterial sepsis, etc. The microorganism is highly resistant to antiseptics, disinfectants, immune system responses of the body. The responses of a quorum sense of this kind of bacteria ensure the inclusion of many pathogenicity factors. The analysis of the scientific literature made it possible to formulate four questions concerning the role of biofilms for the adaptation of P. aeruginosa to adverse environmental factors: Is another person appears to be predominantly of a source an etiological agent or the source of P. aeruginosa infection in the environment? Does the formation of biofilms influence on the antibiotic resistance? How the antagonistic activity of microorganisms is realized in biofilm form? What is the main function of biofilms in the functioning of bacteria? A hypothesis has been put forward the effect of biofilms on the increase of antibiotic resistance of bacteria and, in particular, P. aeruginosa to be secondary in charcter. It is more likely a biofilmboth to fulfill the function of storing nutrients and provide topical competition in the face of food scarcity. In connection with the incompatibility of the molecular radii of most antibiotics and pores in biofilm, biofilm is doubtful to be capable of performing a barrier function for protecting against antibiotics. However, with respect to antibodies and immunocompetent cells, the barrier function is beyond doubt. The biofilm is more likely to fulfill the function of storing nutrients and providing topical competition in conditions of scarcity of food resources.

This article proposes a model of individual violent radicalisation leading to acts of terrorism. After reviewing the role of group regression and the creation of group psychic apparatus, the article will examine how violent radicalisation, by the reversal of the importance of the superego and the ideal ego, serves to compensate the narcissistic identity suffering by “lone wolf” terrorists.
