This article proposes a narrative approach to studying ‘risk’. A narrative approach moves away from common attempts to identify individuals ‘at risk’ of social problems on the basis of static characteristics – risks – that are assumed to have uniform ‘effects’ on individuals. Instead, a narrative approach to analysing ‘risk’ entails a focus on how people make consequential links between events in their lives. By focusing on three cases from a qualitative study in Denmark the article analyses how young people who have extensive experience with ‘risky’ practices – mainly drug use – make sense of these experiences. A particular focus on imagined futures produces two types of insights. First, by analysing how past and present experiences are seen by young people themselves as pointing towards their imagined futures, the article demonstrates how seemingly similar events (risk-taking experiences) can be inscribed in very different future narratives. Second, analysing the process of imagining futures illuminates how the participants see themselves in the world, to what extent they see themselves as agents in their own lives and if their futures are seen as within or beyond their control.

Although individuals who experience a vocational calling tend to be less receptive to psychological distress causing burnout, depression and turnover the prevalence of these cases are on the rise among religious ministers. This hitherto unexplained phenomenon is investigated in this study by exploring psychological contract violation experience with religious ministers in South Africa. A total of 11 participants were interviewed using a narrative approach, forming a qualitative study exploring the content of calling, expectations created by calling in reaction to it and the perceived violation of these expectations in the vocational setting. The result indicates that religious ministers do indeed experience psychological contract violation that leads to a host of negative effects. Opsomming: ‘n Ondersoek na psigologiese kontrak skending- en roeping ervaring by geestelike leiers. Alhoewel individue wat ‘n roeping ervaar die geneigdheid het om minder vatbaar te wees vir psigologiese stress wat uitbranding, depressie en omkeer-intensie voorafgaan, is daar ‘n toenemend hoër voorkoms hiervan by geestelike leiers. Hierdie onverklaarde fenomeen word in hierdie studie ondersoek deur psigologiese kontrak verbreking ervarings onder geestelike leiers in Suid Afrika te ondersoek. ‘n Totaal van 11 deelnemers is by wyse van narratiewe onderhoude ondervra om ‘n kwalitatiewe studie te doen wat die inhoud van roeping, verwagtinge vanuit die roeping en beleefde skending van hierdie verwagtinge in die loopbaankonteks te ondersoek. Die resultaat dui daarop dat geestelike leiers wel psigologiese kontrak skending ervaar wat negatiewe gevolge inhou.

Abstract Background: Loneliness has a negative impact on physical health, and rheumatoid arthritis symptoms can lead to social isolation. However, there is a lack of research exploring patients’ perspectives on self-perceived loneliness in everyday life with rheumatoid arthritis. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the meaning and importance of self-perceived loneliness among adult patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.Methods: Semi-structured interviews analyzed within a narrative thematic framework.Results: Three themes emerged during the analysis: explanations of loneliness in everyday life with rheumatoid arthritis, disclosing or disguising loneliness, and feelings of loneliness in social life.Conclusion: The findings from this study show that loneliness can be burdensome when living with RA. Narratives of loneliness can be hard for patients to disclose, so health care practitioners should take responsibility for legitimizing this subject. A narrative approach in consultations may be helpful to support patients and to encourage a dialogue about loneliness in everyday life with RA.

The digitization has had a significant impact on cultural, social and political discourse in recent years. This qualitative study explores how people think about digitization, what stories and experiences they associate with it, and what their attitudes are. Of particular interest is how the narrators deal with the value conflicts they experience in the digitalized world. Methodologically, the study explores these values using an narrative approach with group and individual interviews.

The purpose of the article is to consider the structure of mediation session and standardization of the mediation procedure in the management of interpersonal conflicts. The research methodology is based on the theory of conflict, which understands sociology, the narrative approach, as well as the fundamental scientific developments of sociology and psychology of conflict. In various approaches to the mediation procedure, caucus is regarded as a key stage, since it is it that has the greatest influence on the result of the entire negotiation procedure with the participation of a mediator. The authors describe several cases from the practice of mediation, focusing on the logic of the mediator's action. Case analysis demonstrates the complexity and multivariance of the behavior of the parties to the conflict. As a result of the systematization of practical experience, a number of problematic issues are formulated that require reflection by the mediator in order to predict and influence the situation of the conflict between the parties as efficiently as possible. Such a system of questions of the mediator to oneself allows providing a qualitative study of the conflict situation and building a constructive line of interaction between the parties to the conflict participating in the mediation procedure. As a result of forecasting problem situations, the use of answers to these questions will bring closer the possibility of negotiating a strategy of cooperation. A number of recommendations are offered to novice mediators for better work on the study of the conflict, planning its stages, forecasting and finding mutually acceptable solutions during the caucus stage.

Islam is a religion that put family well-being as one of its priorities. The discourse regarding attitudes and laws in family has long been explained in great length in Islamic familial literatures. However, the focus of the discourse usually inclines towards juridical aspect and general values. It is quite uncommon to find a writing that is authored in policy form which can be utilised as a guideline by the family. Sa‘id Hawwa is a prominent Muslim preachers who was famous for his methodological approach in writing about familial matters. This study aims to run a content analysis on Sa‘id Hawwa’s methodological writing in his Qawanin al-Bayt al-Muslim. This qualitative study utilises inductive, deductive and comparative method. This study finds that Sa‘id Hawwa’s approach very relevant to be applied in other writings on family. This is beacause he uses relax writing style, simple phrasings, avoiding denominational issues and moderate stand when discussing Sufism and denominational indifferences. Said Hawwa also explains using examples and he offers solutions besides using a narrative approach of storytelling based on his own experience. Not only is this approach proper with the need of the today’s society, it should be considered as a guideline for modern preachers in addressing the people they call. Keywords: Methods of writing, Islamic Family, Sa‘id Hawwa, Qawanin al-Bayt al-Muslim   Islam adalah sebuah agama yang sangat mementingkan kesejahteraan keluarga. Perbahasan berhubung tatatertib dan undang-undang dalam sebuah keluarga telah dibahaskan dengan panjang lebar dalam kitab-kitab kekeluargaan Islam. Tumpuan perbahasan biasanya menjurus kepada aspek hukum dan nilai-nilai umum. Jarang sekali ia disusun dalam bentuk perlembagaan ataupun polisi yang boleh dijadikan satu garis panduan sesebuah keluarga. Antara tokoh pendakwah Islam yang terkenal dengan keberkesanan metod dalam penulisan berhubung kekeluargaan ialah Said Hawwa. Justeru kajian ini akan membuat analisis kandungan terhadap metode penulisan beliau menerusi bukunya Qawanin al-Bayt al-Muslim. Kajian bersifat kualitatif ini menggunakan metode induktif, deduktif serta komparatif. Hasilnya, kajian mendapati metode yang digunakan Saad Hawwa ini sangat relevan untuk diaplikasikan dalam penulisan kekeluargaan yang lain. Penulisan beliau yang mudah, ringkas serta padat bukan sahaja dilihat menepati kehendak masyarakat sekarang bahkan ia boleh dijadikan panduan kepada para pendakwah moden dalam berhadapan dengan mad’u mereka.   Kata kunci: Metode Penulisan, Kekeluargaan Islam, Sa‘id Hawwa, Qawanin al-Bayt al-Muslim.

We make meaning of disease, suffering, and death through narrative, by telling a story. In a therapeutic narrative approach, this article explores the influence of shamanic intervention in psycho-oncology. This qualitative study seeks to present the narrative effects of detailed shamanic sessions (the use of the drum and telling and interpreting visions according to the shamanic mythology) in the context of psycho-oncological treatment. In particular, the narrative positions of a patient (Mrs. AA) are described (using a software linguistic analysis, T-LAB) as they occurred before and after shamanistic sessions. The authors suggested that the shamanism sessions enabled Mrs. AA to produce a larger and more singular narrative about her end-of-life experience: from the initial narrative position of feeling “the acute consciousness of finiteness” to an emergent narrative position based on “consciousness of an interdependence/interconnection in all human and spiritual relationships.”

AbstractThis qualitative study used a narrative approach to address the vulnerabilities and problems experienced by the children of sex workers in Iran. A purposive sample of women who were referred to drop-in centres were invited to take part in semi-structured interviews. An analysis of the data identified 8 main themes and 12 sub-themes, most of which related to risks and harm being perpetrated on the children of sex workers. The main risk to these children was the likelihood that they would escape from home and become sex workers themselves. Also identified as problematic was the risk of child labour, becoming members of offending groups and becoming a member of a brothel.

Abstract Adolescents in situations of social vulnerability demand a type of care, from parents, teachers, and society, that protects them from the additional risks to which they are exposed, without compromising the development of their autonomy. This qualitative study aimed to investigate the imaginative elaborations of 30 teachers about adolescence using an Interactive Narrative approach as an investigative resource. The narrative material was analyzed interpretively, searching for the affective-emotional senses underlying the elaborations of the participants, resulting in the following fields of meaning: "Do not turn adolescence into rocket science" and "Adolescence: a sign of danger". In addition to the pedagogical issues, the participants expressed difficulty in dealing with issues that are specific to the adolescent's emotional development, oscillating between stereotyped conceptions and an empathic posture in the face of adolescent immaturity. It is concluded that teachers experience ambivalent feelings towards adolescents, assuming either an authoritarian or a patronizing posture, understanding adolescent conflict as natural at this development stage.

“Hydropic degeneration” of the hepatocytes are often found in biopsy of the liver of some kinds of viral hepatitis. Light microscopic observation, compareted with the normal hepatocytes, they are enlarged, sometimes to a marked degree when the term “balloning” degeneration is used. Their cytoplasm rarefied, and show some clearness in the peripheral cytoplasm, so, it causes a hydropic appearance, the cytoplasm around the nuclei is granulated. Up to the present, many studies belive that main ultrastructural chenges of hydropic degeneration of the hepatocytes are results of the RER cristae dilatation with degranulation and disappearance of glycogen granules.The specimens of this study are fixed with the mixed fluid of the osmium acidpotassium of ferricyanide, Epon-812 embed. We have observed 21 cases of biopsy specimens with chronic severe hepatitis and severe chronic active hepatitis, and found that the clear fields in the cytoplasm actually are a accumulating place of massive glycogen. The granules around the nuclei are converging mitochondria, endoplasm reticulum and other organelles.
