Problem setting. The problem of body dependence and releasing of social repressions became significant in XX century. The totalitarian ideology reinforcement; increasing of human enslavement in the sphere of alienation work; postmodernism art influenced negatively for the new plastic image of modern individual. Recent research and publications analisis. The question of body realization was the research object for V. Reich, E. Fromm, G. Markuze, O. Lowen, F. Perlz, who used the psychoanalytical approach in this problem solution. Among modern scientists of this philosophic problem the attention to the body was given by E. Gazarova, I. Gorelov, L. M. Krol, E. L. Mikhailova, V. Sorell. Paper objective. We will try to reveal the factors which influenced the forming of subjective-objective attitude to body and the ways of solution the problem of human alienation of his body and nature and loss of his integrity. Paper main body. Characteristic feature of XX century plastic culture is he alienation from the body. The civilization learned to rule the “obedient bodies” and manipulating the consciousness at the same time. The first part of the XX entury gave birth to the subjective-objective attitude to the body. The body of som humanbecomes the object manipulated by other subjects. Not the last role in this body transformation was played by consumer psychology formed in XX century by market economy conditions. Plastic image of perfect person of XX century is monotype and does not correspond the variety of self-expression and body development that has place in eastern world. Medicine and psychology development on the one hand had widened the cognition measures of physical and mental processes in human body and on the other hand they made person to be lazy in learning and realizing the peculiarities of exactly his body. This caused the health problems and his inability to solve problems himself, without any help. Person stopped to trus his body, love it and care of it as the living organism. The modern person attitude can be determined as the exploitation. The estrangement from the body is the consequence of estrangement work that person does not enjoy. In the way of self-expression the western civilization person became more familiar and primitive than free and harmonious. Harmonious spiritual and physical personal development mainly depends on his body consciousness and plastic expression, their correlation with feelings and thinking. Body neglect, its plastic language in different cultural periods caused the person alienation from the his nature and loss of his integrity. Subjective-objective attitude to the body in ХХ century found the reflection in the communication as well. Wire and mobile connection limit the communication sphere by only verbal way of communication. Such style of communication contributes to the human substitute by machines that provide information. Conclusions of the research. Finding the state of spiritual and physical comfort is possible in condition of soul and body unity. The main method to get this state is forming the complete world view, absence of other internal conflicts that prevent person to put up with himself, forgive and accept himself.

The subject of this contribution is the present state of affairs regarding religious education and the teaching of worldviews (Dutch: ‘levensbeschouwing’) on the one hand and the quality of the textbooks used on the other. The approach is that of a teacher in secondary education. The author starts by giving a brief outline of the general situation of religious education in the Netherlands. Then he deals with the significance of religious learning for the personal development of young people and asks how the subject should be taught. If it is to contribute to social cohesion and civic education it will have to aim at the development of a personal identity. These aims imply that both teachers and textbooks should meet certain standards with regard to didactics and professionalism. The author argues that due to recent developments, such as the so-called ‘new learning’, religious education and world view education can potentially fulfil a pivotal role for all ongoing learning processes in the schools.

The subject contemporary relevance of Nehru is unfolded into five sections. First section introduces the subject by contextualising Nehru’s ideas in the contemporary scenario. Nehruvian ideological system and its utility in the age of globalisation constitute the body of this article. His nationalism, socialism and world view are located and discussed in the second, third and fourth sections, respectively. Nehru’s idea of composite culture, contested by cultural nationalism from the one end and ethno-nationalism from the other end of spectrum comprises the second section. The third section discusses the conception, consolidation, retreat and revival of Nehruvian model of economic development in the light of Washington Consensus and Post-Washington Consensus. His idea of socialism and the mixed economy are debated in liberal, neoliberal and post-neoliberal scenario. His world view faced rough weather during the second and third phase of India’s foreign policy. The former was set in motion after his death, whereas the latter started taking shape in the Post-Soviet world, which has acquired the hegemonic overtones. Contemporary significance of Nehru’s world view in the hegemonic world is probed in the fourth section. The last section sums up the discussion in the form of concluding observations.

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the problem of the states of human life: functional, mental and psycho-physiological. The question of the characteristics of the professional activities of civil servants and the level of stressful influences in it are discussed. Consider methods of optimizing functional states, both medical and psychological. Special attention is paid to the practices of self-regulation from transpersonal psychology, which are non-traditional for practical psychology, which, on the one hand, offer a wide range of opportunities to overcome stressful influences, and on the other, it is a potential reserve for spiritual and personal development, expansion of world view, development of creativity and internal integrity.

Problem setting. This article poses the problem of understanding and applying performance as a conceptual model of the functioning of an individual in a modern multi-layered reality. The study presents an analysis of popular actionist practices and the further development of the pure action ontology. The performance serves as an approbation of the dynamism technique and the principle of action in social, digital and artistic actions. Recent research and publications analysis. The assertion of the principle of dynamism and activity in the modern cultural space explains the popularity of performative topics in a parallel scientific and philosophical discourse. At the same time, the bulk of works on performance relates to the field of theory and methodology of art. These are the works of such authors: G. Elshevskaya, E. Krylova, E. Andreeva, J. Kostincova, D. Filippova, Andrey and Yaroslava Artemenko, H. Petrovsky, S. Levitt, H. Downey and J. Sherry, A. Eckersley and C. Duff. G  Reingold, M. Cuellar-Moreno and J. Antonio Cubas-Delgado, A. Loskutov, O. Novoselova and E. Kurbanova and others have studied dynamic models of bodily expressiveness in social practices, including in the information space of culture and communication. In turn, the American philosophers J. Butler, J  Dean and G. Standing develop the concept of performance in relation to political actionism. They view the gatherings of social rights agents as a performative practice of their relationship to power. Paper objective. The aim of the study is to review and theoretically analyze modern creative practices of the subject's bodily expression in the field of art, politics, law and digital communication, as well as to further substantiate the methodological role of the performative concept in modern culture. Paper main body. Today's popular installations, happenings, flash mobs and challenge explicates the very essence of modern human existence in the world. Art zones and other creative social spaces (workshops) use direct body language in their functioning and, at the same time, are highly attractive and effective in today's youth environment. Silent actions demonstrate the limited possibilities for a person to manifest themselves, despite the large number of rights, freedoms and technical means to improve life. Defective self-presentation expresses the one-sided and limited nature of the subject's existence in the social, legal, political and cultural space today. The natural change of technological structures, cultural eras and political models in the world irreversibly modifies a person, his environment and the possibilities of self-realization in it. The creative space of action allows to express the conceptual ontological principle of modernity – the break between the physical and the semantic, the act and the commentary, the action and the word, the body and corporeality. In a stratified reality, a person cannot maintain integrity. His verbal-symbolic being is separated from the physical (body); they express themselves and communicate autonomously and independently. Desocialization and the dominance of virtuality led to the dismemberment and impoverishment of many human functions, in particular the localization of his speech and actions. Therefore, performance is becoming an irreplaceable alternative way of self-realization of the silent body. While language remains a way of being a person as an agent of the information environment. Conclusions of the research. Thus, the study refers to the art experience of bodily subjects as a manifestation of their anthropological authenticity, social significance, legal usefulness, epistemological activity and political will.

1.Crithidia pulicis, n. sp., is a parasite of the alimentary tract of the human flea,Pulex irritans.2. The fleas used in this investigation were bred to the third generation in special “flea cages” on the human body. “Wild” fleas were examined and yielded the same parasite. Both larvae and adult fleas were examined.3.C. pulicisexhibits pre-flagellate, flagellate and post-flagellate stages in its life history and these phases gradually develop, the one from the other.4. The flagellate form is very active, movement being accomplished by means of the myonemes of the membrane and body.5. Pre-flagellates (figs. 1−8) are oval bodies, from 2·3 μ to 7 μ long by 1·5 μ to 4·5 μ broad. The nucleus contains much chromatin and a small karyosome may be present. The blepharoplast is large. The flagellum develops from a chromatophile area. The rate of acquisition of flagellum and membrane varies in individual parasites. Division rosettes are frequent. The pre-flagellates have a somewhat frail appearance.6. The flagellates ofC. pulicis(figs. 9−17) are 26 μ to 65 μ long. Their cytoplasm is richly but finely granular, the nucleus well marked, the blepharoplast large, showing slight variations in shape. Chromidia may be present. The undulating membrane is large, well marked and possesses myonemes which can be detected in the living organism. The free flagellum is relatively short.7. Post-flagellates (figs. 23−36) are from 3 μ to 6 μ. by 2·0 μ to 4·6 μ. They occur in the rectum and dejecta of the fleas. They are produced by concentration of the protoplasm round the nucleus and blepharoplast with absorption of the membrane and flagellum and finally the production of a thin varnish-like coat.8. Longitudinal division (figs. 15−22) is the method of multiplication. It occurs in the pre-flagellate and flagellate stages. It may be symmetrical or asymmetric. Division is initiated by that of the blepharoplast, followed by that of the flagellum, membrane and nucleus and finally the body cytoplasm. Two types of asymmetric division have been observed.9. The method of infection is contaminative, the post-flagellates in the faeces being the source of infection. There is no evidence of hereditary infection.10.Crithidia pulicisis a member of the genusCrithidia, and is a true parasite of the insect,Pulex irritans.

This essay seeks to dispel entrenched critical opinion regarding dance across Nietzsche's writings as representative of Dionysian intoxication alone. Taking as its prompt the riposte of Alain Badiou, ‘Nietzsche is miles away from any doctrine of dance as a primitive ecstasy’ and ‘dance is in no way the liberated bodily impulse, the wild energy of the body’, the essay uncovers the ties between dance and Apollo in the Nietzschean theory of art while qualifying dance's relation to Dionysus. Primarily through an analysis of The Dionysiac World View and The Birth of Tragedy, the essay seeks to illuminate enigmatic statements about dance in Nietzsche (‘in dance the greatest strength is only potential, although it is betrayed by the suppleness of movement’ and ‘dance is the preservation of orderly measure’). It does this through an elucidation of the specific function of dance in Nietzsche's interpretation of classical Greece; via an assessment of the difficulties associated with the Nietzschean understanding of the bacchanal; and lastly through an analysis of Nietzsche's characterization of dance as a symbol. The essay culminates in a discussion of dance's ties to Nietzschean life affirmation; here the themes of physico-phenomenal existence, joy and illusion in Nietzsche are surveyed.

‘If you shoulder a rifle […] let it be for Ireland’: James Connolly's War on War

As virtually all Europe's major socialist parties re-aligned with their own national governments with the outbreak of World War I, Irish socialist and trade unionist James Connolly found himself internationally isolated by his vociferous opposition to the war. Within Ireland, however, Connolly's energetic and relentless calls to interrupt the imperial transportation and communications networks on which the ‘carnival of murder’ in Europe relied had the converse effect, drawing him into alignment with certain strains of Irish nationalism. Connolly and other socialist republican stalwarts like Helena Molony and Michael Mallin made common cause with advanced Irish nationalism, the one other constituency unamenable to fighting for England under any circumstances. This centripetal gathering together of two minority constituencies – both intrinsically opposed, if not to the war itself, certainly to Irish Party leader John Redmond's offering up of the Irish Volunteers as British cannon fodder – accounts for the “remarkably diverse” social and ideological character of the small executive body responsible for the planning of the Easter Rising: the Irish Republican Brotherhood's military council. In effect, the ideological composition of the body that planned the Easter Rising was shaped by the war's systematic diversion of all individuals and ideologies that could be co-opted by British imperialism through any possible argument or material inducement. Although the majority of those who participated in the Rising did not share Connolly's anti-war, pro-socialist agenda, the Easter 1916 Uprising can nonetheless be understood as, among other things, a near letter-perfect instantiation of Connolly's most steadfast principle: that it was the responsibility of every European socialist to throw onto the gears of the imperialist war machine every wrench on which they could lay their hands.

The Woman Who Turned Into a Jaguar examines gender relations in indigenous societies of central Mexico and Oaxaca from the 1520s to the 1750s, focusing mainly on the Nahua, Ñudzahui (Mixtec), Bènizàa (Zapotec), and Ayuk (Mixe) people. This study draws on an unusually rich and diverse corpus of original sources, including Ñudzahui- (Mixtec-), Tíchazàa- (Zapotec-), and mainly Nahuatl-language and Spanish civil and criminal records, published texts, and pictorial manuscripts. The sources come from more than 100 indigenous communities of highland Mexico. The book considers women’s lives in the broadest context possible by addressing a number of interrelated topics, including: the construction of gender; concepts of the body; women’s labor; marriage rituals and marital relations; sexual attitudes; family structure; the relationship between household and community; and women’s participation in riots and other acts of civil disobedience. The study highlights subtle transformations and overwhelming continuities in indigenous social attitudes and relationships. The book argues that profound changes following the Spanish conquest, such as catastrophic depopulation, economic pressures, and the imposition of Christian marriage, slowly eroded indigenous women’s status. Nevertheless, gender relations remained inherently complementary. The study shows how native women and men under colonial rule, on the one hand, pragmatically accepted, adopted, and adapted certain Spanish institutions, concepts, and practices, and, on the other, forcefully rejected other aspects of colonial impositions. Women asserted their influence and, in doing so, they managed to retain an important position within their households and communities across the first two centuries of colonial rule.

Abstract Background Internet of Things (IoT) devices for remote monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment are widely viewed as an important future direction for medicine, including for bipolar disorder and other mental illness. The number of smart, connected devices is expanding rapidly. IoT devices are being introduced in all aspects of everyday life, including devices in the home and wearables on the body. IoT devices are increasingly used in psychiatric research, and in the future may help to detect emotional reactions, mood states, stress, and cognitive abilities. This narrative review discusses some of the important fundamental issues related to the rapid growth of IoT devices. Main body Articles were searched between December 2019 and February 2020. Topics discussed include background on the growth of IoT, the security, safety and privacy issues related to IoT devices, and the new roles in the IoT economy for manufacturers, patients, and healthcare organizations. Conclusions The use of IoT devices will increase throughout psychiatry. The scale, complexity and passive nature of data collection with IoT devices presents unique challenges related to security, privacy and personal safety. While the IoT offers many potential benefits, there are risks associated with IoT devices, and from the connectivity between patients, healthcare providers, and device makers. Security, privacy and personal safety issues related to IoT devices are changing the roles of manufacturers, patients, physicians and healthcare IT organizations. Effective and safe use of IoT devices in psychiatry requires an understanding of these changes.
