The Mother-Child Relationship Evaluation has been described by Roth (1961) as establishing “a frame of reference of attitudes by which mothers relate to their children” (p. 1). Four scales are provided, one measuring acceptance and three purporting to measure forms of non-acceptance. How appropriate is it to utilize such an instrument in a clinical setting where many of the mothers have enrolled clearly handicapped children in programs designed to produce change? Data from 56 such mothers showed a pattern of scale intercorrelations similar to that cited by Roth (1961) as indicating construct validity. On the other hand, 8 of 48 items did not correlate significantly with total scale scores.

A review of some of the literature concerned with the aetiology of homosexuality shows that certain variables, in particular those involving the relationship between the homosexual and his parents, differ between studies involving populations of neurotic homosexuals and those concerned with non-psychiatric populations. Investigators concerned with the former group (Bieber et al., 1962; O'Connor, 1964; West, 1955), have placed emphasis on the importance of the mother-child relationship, having found this to be abnormally intense in the case of many homosexuals. On the other hand, a well controlled study by Bene (1965), involving a non-psychiatric population of homosexuals, revealed no difference between her homosexual and heterosexual groups as regards maternal overprotection. Her findings caused her to place more emphasis on the father-child relationship.

Embora a maioria das alterações no pós-parto seja de âmbito fisiológico, as puérperas convivem com mudanças, medos, desafios, anseios e situações de risco que podem afetar, negativamente, a relação mãe-filho. Somam-se a estes riscos os problemas somáticos já instalados, que indicam a necessidade de atuação da enfermagem através da assistência à puérpera. O presente estudo é uma revisão integrativa, que tem como objetivo identificar quais as complicações mais frequentes na puérpera, além de verificar a atuação do enfermeiro perante o puerpério. Foram pré-selecionados dos portais científicos: Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS) e Pubmed, 423 periódicos que contemplavam a temática pesquisada. Entretanto, foram utilizados 22 destes, pois estavam dentro dos critérios preestabelecidos para sua inclusão. Das complicações puerperais mais frequentes identificadas nos periódicos analisados se destacam a dificuldade da puérpera em amamentar o recém-nascido em 59,1%, seguida de infecções puerperais, sendo esta com frequência de 22,7%, seguida de alterações psíquicas com 13,6%. Por outro lado, incontinência urinária, sangramento aumentado e morte materna foram referenciados em 9%  dos periódicos analisados. Conclui-se que há inúmeras complicações psicossomáticas na puérpera, que devem ser abordadas também pelo enfermeiro. Sem este profissional capacitado, atuante e observador, o início de um novo ciclo de vida pode estar comprometido, caso ocorram complicações. Por outro lado, sua ausência pode aumentar, substancialmente, a probabilidade de agravos durante as fases do puerpério, incluindo o pós-parto imediato. Palavras-chave: Período Pós-Parto.

Added to these risks are the already installed somatic problems that indicate the need for nursing care through the care of the puerperal woman. The present study is an integrative review that aims to identify the most frequent complications in the puerperium, as well as to verify the nurses' performance before and after puerperium. The scientific portals were pre-selected from the Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Pubmed 423 journals that covered the researched topic. However, 22 of these were used, as they were within the pre-established criteria for inclusion. Of the most frequent puerperal complications in the analyzed journals, the difficulties of the puerperal women in breast-feeding the newborn were observed in 59.1%, followed by puerperal infections, this being a frequency of 22.7%, followed by psychic alterations with 13.6 %. On the other hand, urinary incontinence, increased bleeding and maternal death were referenced in 9% in each of the analyzed periodicals. It is concluded that there are numerous psychosomatic complications in the puerperium that should be addressed by the nurse. Without this skilled, active and observant professional, the beginning of a new life cycle may be compromised in the event of complications. On the other hand, their absence may substantially increase the likelihood of injuries during the puerperium stages, including immediate postpartum. Keywords: Postpartum Period. Breastfeeding.

SYNOPSISA questionnaire concerned with dependency, mainly in the mother–child relationship, and intended for use in child psychiatry, is described. It was administered to the mothers of 116 randomly selected junior and secondary school children in the general population, stratified into age, sex, social class, and school groupings. Two meaningful dimensions were revealed by principal component factor analyses: one concerned with reliance on mother and the other reflecting sociability. Reliability and validity were found to be satisfactory.

The mirror puzzle related to the perception of mirror images as left–right reversed can be more fully understood by considering an extended problem that includes also the perception of mirror images that are not left–right reversed. The purpose of the present study is to clarify the physical aspect of this extended problem logically and parsimoniously. Separate use of the intrinsic frame of reference that belongs to the object and one that belongs to its mirror image always leads to the perception of left–right reversal when the object has left–right asymmetry; on the other hand, the perception of left–right nonreversal is always due to the application of a common frame of reference to the object and its mirror image.

This paper provides five clear, relatable examples that can help students understand the distinction between the term “factors” and “mechanisms” in Developmental Psychology. The examples emphasize the idea that factors are related to changes in ways that moderate development, but are not causal. On the other hand, the term mechanism refers to processes that produce change. These examples can be embedded in lectures individually or shared as a whole to support student learning. A precise understanding of the distinction between factors and mechanisms can help students better understand development, parse research findings, and consider policy and practical implications.

El discurso contemporáneo sobre los derechos humanos demanda para sí una fundamentación capaz de dar sustento de sus propios principios. Esta fundamentación se gesta a partir de dos modelos explicativos: por un lado, tenemos las éticas del discurso o procedimentales, cuya propuesta se centra en el estudio de todas aquellas condiciones de posibilidad del consenso racional, y, por otro lado, las éticas cuya estructura admite una fundamentación ontológica. La intención principal de este artículo es, por tanto, analizar ambas posturas a fin de mostrar que las éticas procedimentales presuponen un marco referencial ontológico, en virtud del cual es posible acceder al consenso racional.Contemporary speech about human rights requires to itself a foundation able to sustain its own principles. This foundation is brewing from two explicative models: in one hand we have got discursive or procedural ethics, which proposal is founded in the study of all those conditions of possibility of rational consensus, and, on the other hand, ethics which structure admits an ontological foundation. The purpose of this article is, therefore, to analyze both postures to demonstrate that procedural ethics presuppose an ontological frame of reference whereby is possible to accede to rational consensus.

This article examines the emergence of organizational dynamics in the context of fluid organizational phenomena. To do so, three organizational dynamics are studied: (1) identity, (2) actorhood, and (3) interconnected instances of decision-making. To study how these three organizational dynamics take shape in the context of fluid organizational phenomena, I rely on the events-based approach and a case study of makers operating in a makerspace in the Paris region. The results show, on the one hand, that the collective of makers enacts a structure of past, present, and future events that participates in the definition of a common frame of reference and, on the other hand, that this common frame of reference plays a role in the emergence of organizational dynamics. On the basis of this result, my main contribution is to show the role of the eventalization – that is, the definition, configuration and narration by the actors of past, present, and future events – in the definition of organizational dynamics in fluid organizational phenomena. This article contributes on the one hand to the literature on fluid organizational phenomena, and on the other hand to the literature on makers working in makerspaces.

In Articulating his artistic objectives for his fiction, V. S. Naipaul speaks in a 1994 interview about “delivering truth” and a “form of reality” (Hussein, 154). While he seems to be speaking about an idea of reality he shares with his readers, he is really only indicating his own subjective confidence about the significance of what he has created. He does not share a frame of reference about his Trinidad or Central Africa settings with many of his readers (especially his American readers), nor does he have any reason to assume that his novels will be accepted as culturally authoritative. Naipaul includes in his recipe for “pinning down reality (Hussein, 155) the search for and invention of the most revealing narrative. But again here he does not seem to be referring to a familiar pattern of events concerning a familiar world – for this he pejoratively designates the term “plot” and applies it to the stories of television dramas and “blockbuster” novelists. His means for exploring new strata of experience, on the other hand, is “narrative,” the formal orchestration of events in order to excavate and dramatize the most significant elements residing in his material (Hussein, 154–55; Schiff, 148).

Factor analysis is a test of construct validity. The test is taken by testing so much items or variables and extracting to be lesser and simpler factors. The extraction is carried by unifying some items or variables having significant common variance as they measure the same dimension. In its application, factor analysis can be exploratory or confirmatory. Exploratory factor analysis is used to understand some factors explaining a variabel that analysis does not work under a hyphotesis. On the other hand, confirmatory factor analysis hyphotezise some factors from some items or variables to guide its work. The analysis runs some steps : testing of analysis property, serving correlation matrix, doing extraction, making rotation, and labeling factors. The results of testing are interpreted in some ways. Data can be analyzed if assumptions are approved. Index of Kaiser Meyer Olkin must be over 0,80. Data must also be normal in Bartlet’s test of sphericity. Items or variables make the same dimension or factor if they have intercolinnearity over 0,20. A factor can be developed if it has eigenvalues more than 1,00. An item support a factor if it has factor loadings more than 0,30. Then, the developed factors are labelled or named according to the characteristic of supporting items.

It is necessary to have a frame of reference to understand the work of each cabinetmaker in the Royal House of Spain. This research on the Royal Cabinetmaking Workshops try to systematize its structure within the conglomerate of court artists and the relationship of each cabinetmaker with the royal administration. It is essential to know how these workshops were created, their purpose, who directed them, what their day-to-day life was like and how they disappeared. In this way, workshops, cabinetmakers and furniture have appeared that have not been given the importance they deserve. Dates and attributions are also corrected. On the other hand, the authorship of important furniture sets is justified and the ability of cabinetmakers to design their own furniture is once again demonstrated. In short, it is an approach to royal furniture delving into the crown production systems.
