This work has followed but also departed from Aristotle in several ways. It adopts his method, which combines theory and the test of experience. Introspection confirms the badness of suffering. He sees that it is best for us to develop the powers we have as children, by educating our emotions and reason. Although he over-intellectualizes moral life and ignores childhood well-being, he recognizes that well-being has a temporal component. He also recognizes that the moral virtues make well-being available to all normal adults, and that there is more good in a complete human life than any number of years of humdrum existence.

The Family

The aim of the article is to raise the issue of the importance of family support in children with behavioral and emotional disorders. It notes that it is the environment that has a huge impact on the formation and becoming of the child. This is because it is in the family that the foundations of the human personality are built. In a favorable environment, they should create beauty in life, balance of spirit, a sense of security. But the family environment would have an educational effect only if the child is actively involved in it. It is the first "experimental field" for human life. The inclusion of the child in the family environment and his upbringing in moral virtues is one of the practical ways for his socialization. Unfortunately, many families fail to provide emotional support to adolescents, fail to create this psychological comfort and security. Disruption of this emotional connection with parents, lack of emotional support can easily lead to serious damage to the psyche of a child and this can easily lead to irreversible consequences in behavior and emotional development and its formation. Problematic children are usually the result of family conflicts, lack of parental love, upbringing in cruelty, rudeness and inconsistency in parental actions. Children almost always absorb not only the positive but also the negative patterns of behavior coming from the parents. It is unrealistic and ineffective for parents to demand exemplary behavior from their children if they themselves are not carriers of it. The future of the child also depends on the example and the educational impact of the parents. Very often in the hectic daily life of us adults we do not have time to pay enough attention to the emotional and behavioral development of our children. We often forget that the behavioral and emotional disorders of some children are a cry for help, which unfortunately is often misunderstood by others. If left unnoticed by adults, these negatives can take root in the form of various feelings in the minds of adolescents and have a negative impact on their mental and emotional development and well-being, and lead to serious behavioral and emotional dysfunctions.

The Relationship

Living in a world where we can expand our economic wealth and the richness of human life is the core of the human development concept. Greater well-being for all can be achieved by improving people’s capabilities and more importantly, by giving individuals the ability to use their knowledge and skills. The economic complexity index (i.e., ECI) is a new indicator that defines a country’s complexity. Through a vast network, citizens can transfer an enormous quantity of relevant knowledge, leading to the creation of diversified and complex products. However, the relationship between economic complexity and human development is not that simple. Thus, this paper aimed to understand it deeper—international migration and logistics performance are used as moderators. Hierarchical linear modeling was the statistical tool used to analyze two groups of countries from 1990 to 2017. For robustness and to deal with possible endogeneity issues, different year lags were also included. The results show that international migration and logistics performance are decisive moderators as they change the relationship between economic complexity and human development.

Abstract Education and having access to social support play a vital role in the human life. Integrated and better-educated people demonstrate an increased personal health and well-being. Social isolation, on the contrary, can affect not only the personal development, but also pertains to society. These topics are especially relevant in the current migration debate. Our paper examines the link between schooling and the individuals’ probability to receive different types of social support, in particular emotional, instrumental, informational, and appraisal support. Using logit and ordinal logit regressions on cross-sectional micro-data provided by the SOEP, we distinguish between two subgroups, the native population and people who migrated to Germany. Our findings confirm that higher levels of education increase the probability to access social support as well as the number of support providers in the network. Migrants are disadvantaged when it comes to the access of social support. However, our results suggest no significant negative returns to education for people with migration experiences.

Health And Well Being

The article examines the depiction of gratitude and related events in Latvian folklore through comparative evaluation. Gratitude is considered in a psychological context, comparing the attitude expressed in folklore with the findings of modern scientific research. Gratitude is a concept that is usually associated with a relationship or a benefit, it is most often aimed outwards, dedicated to someone else, but at the same time, it creates a pleasant feeling within the person. In modern psychology, gratitude is receiving more and more attention from researchers because its manifestations stimulate the formation of positive emotions and contribute to the improvement of the person’s overall well-being. Research and clinical studies in psychotherapy confirm that gratitude plays an important role in improving mental health and reducing depressive, destructive feelings. In turn, neuroscience research shows the potential of a grateful and positive attitude in strengthening psycho-emotional health and well-being in general. In Latvian folklore, gratitude is depicted as an important part of ritual events, which helps to ensure a positive, balanced connection with the forces of nature, gods, and society. In folklore, the importance of gratitude is emphasised more when building family relationships or accepting various situations and occurrences in life. In both psychological research and the practice of systemic therapy, as well as in folklore, gratitude appears as one of the most important values of interpersonal connection, which promotes the formation of harmonious relationships. Similar to the opinions of psychology, the folk world views emphasise the motivational role of gratitude in improving the quality of human life and health in general.

Constructivist Model

The action-task approach is a modern approach to language learning and teaching, offering more opportunities for active participation in the class and greater engagement in the learning process than traditional approaches, which include for example the communicative approach. The aim of this publication is to show the action-task approach from multiple perspectives: pedagogical, glottodidactic and neurobiological. In the pedagogical dimension, it refers to the issues of the new culture of learning and teaching and to the constructivist model of learning. In practice, this means that learners acquire knowledge and skills actively through their own actions. This method implies that classes are oriented towards shaping learners‘ independence and their gradual acquisition of autonomy. In the modern school, the learner acquires, apart from knowledge, which is no longer the priority of teaching, the competences needed for future work. In the modern knowledge society, these competences are becoming increasingly important, as they are more difficult to acquire than generally available knowledge. Therefore, during the modern learning process the student is provided with conditions for the development of social, methodological as well as personal competences, which play a very important role in achieving individual well-being. The action-task approach is not only a constructivist way of learning and teaching languages, but also a philosophy, referring to considerations of learning, teaching, perception of reality, communication and interaction with fellow learners, and formation of attitudes and values needed in human life.

IntroductionEach individual experience cancer in a different way. While some perceive cancer as a complex and traumatic experience by developing some psychosocial and additional physical problems, others overcome cancer-related difficulties by gaining benefits such as post-traumatic growth (PTG) owing to their resilience. Resilience and PTG that are very valuable concepts in human life to adapt positively to cancer process have relations which need to be better understood.ObjectivesWe aimed to provide a better understanding of relations between resilience and PTG and relations of these two concepts with cancer experience.MethodsLiterature review.ResultsSuccessful adjustment to life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, require resilience. On the other hand, resilience provides a barrier toward stressors by helping improvement of PTG and so, is an antecedent factor of PTG. PTG ensures a deeper perspective and strength to people after traumatic events. Hence, individuals having higher levels of PTG feel powerful enough to handle the problems in their life and can easily adapt to cancer process by focusing on the positive outcomes of trauma, having improved coping mechanisms and an improved psychological well-being.ConclusionsResilience and PTG have strong mutual relations and this phenomenon should be considered for a qualified cancer care.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Conflicts are unavoidable in human life. Thus, for human beings, the attitude of forgiveness is of importance to be well-embedded and sustainably constructed. Resting upon the aforesaid premises, the present study conducted a library research to reveal how forgiveness is viewed from the perspectives of positive psychology and Islam. 102 scientific works reviewed, 58 works were finally selected to be scrutinized in depth. This study revealed that the discourses in the field of positive psychology imply that forgiveness attitude is of importance to be embedded in human beings and continuously constructed by virtue of its positive natural impacts on mental health, good relationships, physical health, and positive well-being. Furthermore, as informed by Islamic teachings, the attitude of forgiveness is also suggested to be well and continuously embedded. As the best Islamic role model for the end-time people, the Prophet Muhammad PBUH already exemplified that humans are indeed to always be forgiving and even to pray for others for the sake of good things that Allah SWT will bestow to. It is worth noting that both positive psychology and Islam encourage humans to be forgiving individuals.

The Impact

Noise can be defined as an undesirable sound that pollutes the environment. If noise is continuous and exceeds certain levels, negative effects on health can be observed. In recent years, the impact of environmental noise (road traffic noise, railway traffic noise, air traffic noise and industrial noise) on human health has come under increasingly intense scrutiny. Noise can cause a number of negative effects on health that directly or indirectly affect humans. The occurrence of some certain and harmful health effects drives the onset of others and may contribute to the development of various diseases. Health is not only a state of physical well-being, but also mental well-being. Mental health primarily depends on the quality of life, which can be affected by various environmental factors, such as noise. An important aspect of fighting noise is the most effective protection of the population by avoiding sources of noise and reducing it. This can be achieved by introducing new technical solutions and new technologies, including devices that generate less noise. Another important measure is educating the society and influencing the change of individual and collective behavior, which may contribute to reducing the harmful factor, which is noise in human life, and minimize the resulting negative effects on health.

Religious Crisis

The religious crisis experienced by the present mankind is neither the first nor the last in its history. But it looks more sharp, more general, and above all - deeper, because it reaches the very roots of religion, God. This crisis is present in the West, where freedom is predominantly dominated and dominated, and where man can develop as it is profitable, as well as in the East, where for decades the communist regime led a persistent and fierce ideological war, trying to eliminate everything that concerned God. It seemed that the fall of the Marxist-Communist system would lead to a violent manifestation of a religious sensation here, responding to the demands of the human spirit. Unfortunately, such hopes were not fulfilled. The atmosphere of a certain freedom soon changed the first signs of enthusiastic religious interest in religious chaos, and finally, as could be foreseen, left a free space for the crazy pursuit of well-being and all the benefits that the Western civilization was embracing. This was the result of a pathetic, even tragic financial situation, which was the consequence of the management of the communist regime and the inevitable legacy of Marxist despotism, which required the complete rejection of religion and its absence in human life.

Abstract. Islamization of Economics. Islamic doctrine teaches all areas of human life. How to extract economic principles in the Qur'an and hadith are the biggest challenge todays, and then makes it into a body of knowledge as well to build it into a theoretically and practically discipline that differ significantly from the schools of the existing the conventional economics. But the critique and issue come up those Islamic financial services only "follow" the conventional economics, so the scientific originality is often questionable. In the process of Islamization economy, which has been carried out, namely through the development of well-being and poverty measurement tool that is based on the concept with CIBEST Model. CIBEST Model is an effort to develop a welfare approach to poverty based on the conception that a tool to measure well-being and poverty are not solely based on purely material, but also spiritual approach. It is based on the concept of fulfillment, where the al-Qur’an and Hadith has outlined those basically human needs consists of two things, the material and spiritual needs.Abstrak. Islamisasi Ilmu Ekonomi. Islam merupakan ajaran yang mencakup seluruh bidang kehidupan. Tantangan terbesar saat ini adalah bagaimana mengekstraksi prinsip-prinsip ekonomi dalam Al-Qur’an dan hadits, kemudian menurunkannya menjadi sebuah body of knowledge sekaligus membangunnya menjadi sebuah disiplin ilmu yang secara teoritis dan praktis berbeda signifikan dengan mazhab-mazhab ilmu ekonomi konvensional yang ada. Namun muncul kritik bahwa ekonomi syariah hanya “mengekor” ekonomi konvensional semata, sehingga orisinalitas keilmuannya sering dipertanyakan. Dalam proses islamisasi ekonomi, yang telah dilakukan, yaitu melaui pengembangan alat ukur kesejahteraan dan kemiskinan yang didasarkan pada konsep syariah dengan Model CIBEST. Model CIBEST adalah upaya untuk mengembangkan pendekatan kesejahteraan kemiskinan yang didasarkan pada konsepsi bahwa alat untuk mengukur kesejahteraan dan kemiskinan tidak semata mata didasarkan pada material semata, namun juga pendekatan spiritual. Hal ini didasarkan pada konsep pemenuhan kebutuhan, dimana al-Quran dan Hadis telah menggariskan bahwa pada dasarnya kebutuhan manusia terdiri atas dua hal, yaitu kebutuhan material dan spiritual.
