Abstract: Introduction: The humanization of assistance is associated to empathy, embracing, and effective communication, being part of the medical training. According to its nature, humanization requires methods that involve affections and stimulates critical thinking. Objective: Extensive literature shows the benefits of the arts in medical education; however, there are still few studies on dancing, the subject of this study, which was carried out by medical students and whose aim was to investigate hospital dancing in the teaching of humanization, from the perspective of medical students. Method: A qualitative action research study was designed, in which medical students performed choreographies for patients, companions and employees in three different wards of the teaching hospital. The action consisted of continuous cycles in the planning of interventions, performance, observing, reflection, and re-planning of subsequent actions, in a systematic manner and controlled by the researchers. Data production took place by direct observation, narratives and focal group. The data were analyzed using the content and thematic analysis methods. Results: For three months, 17 female and 7 male students between 18 and 24 years of age performed the action, producing data that was subsequently classified into 3 thematic categories: 1. Dimension of affection: contents of the student’s emotional character; 2. Care dimension: contents about caring for the patient; 3. Dance dimension: contents on dance in the humanistic training in Medicine. In the triangulation of the techniques, it was observed that joy, anxiety, and the perception of dance as an instrument of bonding were significant. The experience of changing socially-marked places for the student and the patient made the student face and overcome different feelings. The dance allowed the refinement of the look and the capacity to understand the other, taking into account perspectives that converge to or diverge from their own convictions. On the other hand, the students experienced the anxiety and joy of an encounter with themselves, perceiving dance as a pleasurable and humanizing activity. Conclusion: The dance in the hospital lead to experiences and reflections that stimulated the students’ self-knowledge, favored the student-patient relationship, and brought elements to understand the use of dancing in medicine, mainly for the teaching of empathy and humanized care.

This chapter examines the experiences of women who studied at Irish medical schools and hospitals from the 1880s to 1940s. Previous research has suggested that the first generation of female medical students at Irish institutions had largely positive educational experiences and were treated in a paternalistic and supportive manner by their professors and fellow students, in contrast with their counterparts in Britain. However, in spite of this, it is clear that Victorian arguments against women studying medicine prevailed. In the student press, female medical students were presented as the ‘other’ and characterised as studious, bookish, cold, defeminised or alternately as obsessed or unconcerned with their appearances. It is clear, that although women and men were largely educated together for all subjects, with the exception of anatomy dissections, that women occupied a separate social sphere from the male students. Drawing on student magazines, Irish doctors’ memoirs, newspapers and the minute books of medical student societies, this chapter evaluates attitudes to women studying medicine and the educational and extra-curricular experiences of these women and how they fitted in within a very masculine sphere. In addition, this chapter will also explore women’s day-to-day student lives and the challenges they faced in pursuit of their education.

In articulating our thoughts, our attention rarely goes to the formulation itself. What we evaluate are not sounds or inscriptions but ways in which other competent users of our language would interpret them. But how do we arrive at words that would elicit precisely the needed interpretation? And why does the other person enter into the picture at all? Why do we need to know what some other person would think we think, and realize that that is, in fact, what we think, to know what we ourselves think? Why do we take the other person’s response into account in trying to come to know our private thoughts? Although these questions span several different areas of philosophy, their most natural home is the subject of self-knowledge. This chapter sketches the territory of the subject from a distinctive perspective and indicates the place of the book’s project in it.

Teaching of the arts which include universal values and rules in essence ,in spite of containing local signs, should be formed by universal criteria’s and the richness, and contain diversity as well.  Intercultural interaction is an opportunity that may offer important advantages to this diversity. To be the subject of education and training of the arts, which is almost in the same age with humanity, in Turkey coincides with relatively near future. Turkish art education institutions, trying to fit the process of understanding hundreds of years of tradition and rules into a few decades, tried to speed up this process by going especially western countries or bringing artists from there. While the number does not exceed fingers of two hands especially in the last ten-fifteen years, now the expression of these numbers with three-digit numbers made the need for qualified instructors preferred. On the one hand this case contains various handicaps, but on the other hand, it can be considered as an opportunity. These study opportunities were designed to detect the sample.Keywords: art, intercultural interaction, Azerbaijani painters.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The objective of the study was to learn about the concepts of violence among medical undergraduate students in the state of Bahia, their personal experiences with the phenomenon and advice regarding case referral. Method: a qualitative research was carried out with 20 undergraduate medical students from public institutions in the state of Bahia. The data were collected via the web through an electronic file made available by Google Forms. The students were informed about the page address through an e-mail. Results: Most of the students said that the topic of “Violence against Children” was addressed during their undergraduate years. Shared conceptions by most of the students on the subject are related to the definitions of violence as physical injuries inflicted on the victims, but broader definitions of social and subjective perception, encompassing different dimensions of the phenomenon were also identified. The most frequently cited feelings experienced in situations of violence were the following: helplessness, fear, sadness, unpreparedness, compassion, empathy, anger and rage. The difficulties that the students encountered in approaching the victims of violence stem from the lack of preparation in the training and from the positions related to the physicians themselves, such as fear of involvement and accountability. The inherent characteristics of children and distrust in protective services were also mentioned. Conclusion: Although the students reported having contact with the topic during graduation, most of them evaluated the training as insufficient. The lack of professional preparation to approach the medical-social issues, such as violence, has been partially attributed to the biologicist bias of the medical training. In this sense, we highlight the understanding of violence as an essentially social and historical phenomenon, to the detriment of the different dimensions of the illness that imply in the health-disease process. From this perspective, this bias obscure the recognition of the different manifestations of violence as objects of healthcare work, suggesting a need for a broader approach in medical education, which can help to contemplate the complexity of the subject.

The aim of  the  paper  is  to  show  the  conditions  of  subjectivity constitution in terms of dialogue and the figure of the Other. The analytical and hermeneutical approach I hold is the foundation of interdisciplinary attempt to describe  possible  concepts  of  shared  relation of the terms: consciousness, subjectivity and identity. The three appear to be recognized only in the ethical situation. It requires taking responsibility for the Other, for giving him the identity which mirrors one’s subjectivity. In this way the subject learns the limits and chances for gaining self-knowledge. The paper also presents a new approach towards redefining the definition of subjectivity, which includes artificially and medically enhanced entities.

The opening up of Japan to the west and the consequent influences of the west and of Japan upon each other are remarkable for many reasons, not least of which is the interchange of styles and techniques of the arts and crafts one to the other. The export of Japanese works of art, and the influence upon European artistic production during the Meiji period (though often of works produced during the Edo period) have all but obscured the remarkable effects Japanese export art had upon the west during the period of self-imposed semi-isolation. Of course Japan was also greatly influenced by western art; that is not the subject of this paper, but it is a subject of great interest, worthy of considerable attention.

The article provides a comparative analysis of phraselogical units with monetary component in Ukrainian, Polish and English phraseological pictures; it has been clarified that money is the subject of many sciences: economics, philosophy, psychology, sociology, etc., and it is an integral part of society, and therefore they are the part of a core value which indicates the importance of this concept. The article investigates and reveals universal and cultural-specific features of phrases with a component of money on the material of phraseological pictures of Ukrainian, Polish and English cultures. The relevance of phraseological units, sayings, proverbs, winged expressions with the money component in the modern world has been proved, because the phraseological picture better reflects the changes that are taking place in the sphere of economics, politics, culture etc., it has been found that money is associated with national self-knowledge; it has been revealed ambivalence regarding money: on the one hand, they arise as a value, and on the other, as a social evil. The most promising research is a comparative study of Slavic (Ukrainian, Byelorussian, Polish) and German (English, German) phrases to indicate people’s attitude to money.

This essay describes two hitherto unreported interviews that C.S. Lewis gave for broadcast on British television in the early 1960’s, and introduces a transcript of one of the interviews. Both interviews were arranged by Lewis’s former student, the theatrical critic and producer Kenneth Tynan, for episodes of the ITV artsmagazine programme ‘ Tempo’. For the first of these episodes, which was devoted to the subject of ‘Eros in the Arts’, Lewis was interviewed by politician and journalist Wayland Young; it is this interview which is published with the essay. The programme itself was banned for Sunday viewing and was never broadcast. Lewis was also interviewed for the replacement episode, called ‘The Oxford Octopus’, which concerned the role of the universities in the British arts scene. Lewis is not otherwise known to have been recorded on film, and unfortunately, no footage of these occasions seems now to exist; and there is no known text of the second interview. The essay also describes Lewis’s relationship with Tynan, the Tempo series, and the other content – so far as it can be discovered – of both episodes.
