I am concerned about the self-image of pediatricians. I am concerned that those physicians whose professional careers surround the consummate health and welfare of our children consider themselves to be leveled among their professional colleagues with the same perspective as their patient populations, that is, second-rate, less important, and less distinguished in their capabilities and professional objectives than the classic "adult" physicians, the internists and surgeons. The obstetrician-gynecologist shares some of the same perceptual problems, a mind-set of subliminal second-class professional citizenship, consistent with the still attenuated role of women, their professional clientele. Oh, there are exceptions! There are pediatricians who take charge of their professional practice groups, hospital staffs, national societal organizations, teaching hospitals, and medical schools.

AbstractPeople are eager to know the self in other’s eyes even with personal costs. However, what drives people costly to know evaluations remains unknown. Here we tested the hypothesis of placing subjective value on knowing social evaluations. To quantify the subjective value, we developed a pay-to-know choice task where individuals trade off profits against knowing social evaluations. Individuals computed independent unknown aversion towards positive and negative social evaluations and placed higher values on knowing social evaluation on positive than negative aspects. Such a valence-dependent valuation of social evaluation was facilitated by oxytocin, a neuropeptide linked to feedback learning and valuation processes, by decreasing values of negative social evaluation. Moreover, individuals scoring high in depression undervalued positive social evaluation, which was normalized by oxytocin. We reveal the psychological and computational processes underlying self-image formation/update and suggest a role of oxytocin in normalizing hypo-valuation of positive social evaluation in depression.

The study of a person's opinion of their own body is the study of "body image." While the definition was not much complicated, the arguments around the "Body Image" have numerous folds, from weight and size to appearance and normality. There can be a long list of things that can affect a person's body image concept and make them feel good about themselves or even dread being in their bodies. The source can be anything from one’s peers to the brands advertising their products with the help of models and celebrities. In this research, we will focus on the advertisements impacting the self-body image. The advertisers take the help of models and celebrities to impact the minds of their viewers and nudge them to try their product. In today’s world, a consumer’s self-image is targeted by how an advertisement is made. The research used a mixed-method approach to imply the finding of the study. The study validated and established the identified and the proposed construct and implied that the advertisements impact the viewers to attain or aspire for the sure self-body image. However, for a brief period, the effect and impact it creates cannot be overruled entirely.

Although not as yet fully implemented, laws, executive orders, administrative rulings, and court decisions are now available for dealing with the more blatant forms of discrimination against women. But we do not as yet have protection against the subtler forms–the exclusionary “stag effect,” for example, and the putdown–which can have equally damaging effects. Research is called for to document just how the self-image of women is injured by these forms of behavior and how their professional careers are prejudiced by them. Collective coping mechanisms are called for. Recourse to the courts may be called for in some cases, but in others these subtle forms of bahvior that have discriminatory consequences for women are inadvertent and require primarily that we call attention to them.

Les textes regroupés dans ce dossier explorent les modalités de l’ethos biographique. Il nous apparaît  que l’œuvre biographique, caractérisée par la relation singulière qui s'établit entre le biographe et le biographé, offre un contexte particulier à la construction de l’ethos, puisque l'écriture s'y propose à la fois comme discours sur l'autre et énonciation de soi. Les diverses analyses proposées montrent que l’image de soi construite à travers un ensemble de signes à destination de l’interlocuteur donne accès à la singularité du locuteur dans sa fonction de biographe, mais révèle également d’autres aspects de l’identité de ce dernier, laissant place, entre autres, à l’émergence de la figure de l’écrivain.AbstractThe texts in this issue explore the modalities of the biographical ethos. They show that biographical writing, which is characterized by the peculiar relationship that is established between biographer and biographee, offers a context for constructing a specific ethos, since the writing offers both discourse on another person and self-enunciation. The various analyses demonstrate that the self-image constructed from the set of signs aimed at the interlocutor reveal the locutor's singularity in his role of biographer, but also reveal other aspects of his identity, and allow, among other things, the emergence of the writer's image.

<p class="Pa15">El artículo se enmarca en el análisis y recuperación de la obra narrativa de Carmen Kurtz (1911-1999), cuya producción novelística para adultos comprende trece obras de carácter realista y social. <em>Duermen bajo las aguas </em>(Premio Ciudad Barcelona, 1955) no tuvo problemas con la censura, y quizás por ello resul­ta una obra especialmente interesante. Se tratará de analizar cómo, en su primera incursión en la novela, la escritora se debatió entre la autocensura y el asomo de una voz crítica, pues, si bien evitó tratar de manera directa los efectos de la guerra y la posguerra española –trasfondo del relato-, introdujo una velada crítica a los mitos difundidos por el Régimen franquista en relación al papel de la mujer a través de su protagonista, Pilar, personaje en el que se centra este trabajo.</p><p class="Pa15"><span lang="EN-US">The article is part of the analysis and recovery of the narrative work of Carmen Kurtz (1911-1999), whose novelistic production for adults includs thirteen works of a realistic and social nature. <em>Duermen bajo las aguas </em>(Ciudad de Barcelona Reward, 1955) had no problems with the censorship, and perhaps for that reason it becomes a particularly interesting work. It will be tried to analyze how, in her first incursion in the novel, the writer was debated between the “self censorship” and the appearance of a critical voice, because, although she avoided to treat in direct way the effects of the war and the Spanish postwar pe­riod - background of the story -, introduced a critic veiled of the myths spread by the Franco regime in relation to the role of women through its protagonist, Pilar, a character in which this work is centered.</span></p>
