Abstract This article focuses on a mathematical description of the emotional phenomenon. The key concept is to consider emotions as an energy, and to rely on the analogy with the electromagnetic waves. Our aim is to provide a mathematical approach to characterize the emergence of emotional fluxes in the human psyche. This goes beyond classical pscychological approaches. In this setting, specific emotions correspond to specific frequencies and our psychic state results from the summation of different characteristic frequencies. Our general model of psychic state is a dynamical system whose evolution results from interactions between external inputs and internal reactions. The model provides both qualitative (frequencies) and quantitative (intensity) components. It aims to be applied to real life situations (in particular in work environments) and we provide a typical example which naturally leads to a problem of control.

The prevalence of dentists in recent novels by Grass, Bellow, Updike, Pynchon, and Vonnegut suggests a shift in cultural attitudes toward teeth. Teeth have conventionally represented potency, beauty, or pain. The first attribute is most common in myth, folklore, and psychoanalysis. The topos of beautiful teeth, familiar in literature from the Old Testament to Poe, was inverted parodistically by fin-de-siècle writers like Mann and Benn. The attribute of pain assumed particular significance for Dostoevsky, H. C. Andersen, and Mann—heirs of the romantic association of disease and art—as a clue to the psychic state of the individual. Following the revival of the organismic theory of society, decaying teeth were seen to provide a more general symbol: in the novels of Koestler and Greene dental health consistently reflects social health. Hence the dentist enters contemporary fiction as psychic healer and social analyst.

This chapter shows that moods and affects differ from each other in terms of intentionality and temporality. Intentionality is the aspect of a psychic state of being ‘about’ something. Moods are experienced as unintentional, affects as intentional. Whereas affects point to an explicit experience such as a dangerous situation, moods point to my being the person I am in a given situation. Temporality is understood as how the person experiences time and how the existence of the person is inevitably formed and developed in time. Affects are often briefer than moods. They captivate me, and thereby move me to a determinate action within a restricted period of time. Moods, on the contrary, may last for days or even years in that they paralyse my thoughts and retain me from acting (sadness), or throw me into weird actions without any thoughts of the past or the future (euphoria).

  Exploring the interactions between liquid surfaces and their relationship to the figure of the fille fatale in dark genres of film and television, this paper suggests that the liquid surface not only disrupts our understanding of architecture as a static structural envelope, but also acts to destabilise the image of the innocent girl in science fiction and horror films and television. The discussion focuses on three relatively recent depictions of young girls who confront (or are forced to confront) the liquid surface: Mitsuko’s submersion in the water vessels of an apartment building in Dark Water (2002), Ofelia and the muddy interior of the tree in Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), and the watery floor of Eleven’s psychic state in Stranger Things (2016). Working with Jill Stoner’s understanding of minor architectures and their ability to deterritorialise both physical structures and structures of power, the paper asks to what extent the liquid surface encounters of Ofelia, Mitsuko and Eleven exist as reflections of each character’s experiences, or as currents of agency through which the fille fatale reshapes her world. In doing so the research considers the ways in which fictional liquid surfaces operate as a visual minor architecture that elicits a questioning of social and physical norms.

The level of neuropsychic adaptation and regularity of the circadian rhythm of the evacuatory function of the intestine were investigated in the working people. The people were divided - according to the psychic state - into 4 main groups: I - practically healthy people - 22 %, prenosologic condition - 22 %, III - pre-pathologic condition - 27 %, IV - pathology condition - 29 %. The people with the irregular rhythm of the intestine demonstrate worsening of the psychic state from 2 to 6 times more frequently than in the people with a regular rhythm of the intestine.
