After committing an offense, transgressors face an important decision regarding how to respond to the people they hurt. Do they make themselves emotionally vulnerable by offering high-quality, comprehensive apologies? Or do they seek to protect themselves with defensive strategies, such as justifications and excuses? In two studies, we examined the link between attachment styles and apology quality. We hypothesized that because people high in attachment avoidance are uncomfortable with emotional vulnerability and tend to defensively disengage from emotional aspects of relationships, they would offer less comprehensive and more defensive apologies. In Study 1, participants imagined hurting a friend and then rated their likelihood of using each of eight apology elements and five defensive strategies. In Study 2, participants wrote a real email to a person they had hurt. Our prediction was supported in both studies, suggesting that attachment avoidance plays an important role in how transgressors manage their offenses.

Today, efforts to build the entrepreneurship of society have begun to grow. Making Soy Sauce is an opportunity for home industry to increase the level of economy of the community. However, the obstacle faced by the community is the high price of soybeans and the condition of the people in the Putat Jaya village who do not have a fixed income and do not have the skills, so it is necessary to find another alternative to making the soy sauce. By using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) method, this study aims to provide training assistance to make soy sauce using cheaper ingredients, but it still has high quality. As a result of this assistance, the community was given counseling and twice practice to makie soy sauce from the basic ingredients of coconut water. The training in making coconut water sauce was successfully carried out, and the residents of Putat Jaya village were able to make good quality of soy sauce with savory taste, so that the community was able to become a soy sauce producer with coconut water and have a community of soy sauce makers.


Products in the market are expected to satisfy the consumer’s quality requirements. Agriculture being one of the main occupation of the people of India, the raw products must be sorted to determine whether they fit the quality description so that high quality products are obtained as the end result. The proposed method is designed to ensure the availability of good quality coconut oil in the market by assessing the quality of each individual sample going into the production line. 70% of moisture content present naturally in copra(dried coconut kernel) is dried to almost 7% for coconut oil production. To prevent the growth of bacteria and fungus on the surface of the copra, sulphur is added as a preservative. Allergenic reactions and lung performance restrictions can be caused due to the presence of sulphur in copra. The presence of moisture may also adversely affect oil quality. The texture features such as wrinkles, moulds, fungi growth on the surface also deplete the oil quality. The features of different kinds of copra are analysed and is used train the machine. The machine learning methodology is adopted for the classification of copra as usable and unusable.

Tahun-tahun tersebut merupakan masa keemasan dari Pesantren Tegalsari yang dikenal sebagai lembaga pencetak <em>pujangga</em> (intelektual Jawa). Bagi masyarakat Desa Tegalsari sendiri, tahun-tahun itu adalah masa perekonomian yang dikembangkan sedang mengalami pertumbuhan yang pesat. Desa Tegalsari terkenal sebagai daerah penghasil <em>dluwang</em> (kertas tradisional) berkualitas tinggi yang diekspor ke berbagai daerah. Di sisi yang lain, abad 18-19 sendiri merupakan masa yang penuh dengan gejolak, baik secara sosial maupun politik. Beberapa peristiwa seperti <em>geger pacina </em>(1742), Perang Suksesi Jawa III (1746-1755), Perang Jawa (1825-1830), dan kebijakan tanam paksa (1830-1917) merupakan momen-momen krusial dalam perjalanan sejarah Indonesia, khususnya di pulau Jawa. Pada titik inilah ulama Pesantren Tegalsari, sebagai salah satu pimpinan lembaga pendidikan-keagamaan paling berpengaruh di Jawa abad 18-19 sekaligus tokoh panutan bagi masyarakat sekitar, memiliki peranan penting. Gerakan pemikiran dan sikap dari ulama Pesantren Tegalsari menjadi sangat menentukan eksistensi pesantren dan perputaran roda perekonomian masyarakat sekitar.

The problems considered in the paper are the incidence of dysbiosis in the Ukrainian people, the reasons for it, and the methods of improving the diet of those suffering from microfloral disorders. Useful properties and effects of the microorganisms Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, and of inulin and lactulose have been studied as well as the ways in which they help to restore a person’s normobiocoenosis. After a research in vitro, with the conditions imitating the human gastrointestinal tract, the survival rate of encapsulated cells of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in an unfavourable environment has been determined. It has been grounded how necessary microencapsulated forms of microorganisms are in the production of confectionery – firstly, to ‘protect’ them against physiological and technological factors, and secondly, to help them reach the lower regions of the small intestine where their capsules are destroyed and the bacteria are released. The reasons have been given why fatty filling for waffles, as an object to be enriched with useful ingredients, should be preferred when developing healthy and wholesome confectionery. It has been shown how promising probiotics and prebiotics are if used in confectionery technology. The two synbiotic complexes SC 1 and SC 2 have been developed, and such parameters have been determined as the optimum weight fractions of inulin and lactulose in the formulation of the filling, and the number of probiotic microorganisms. It has been established that lactulose can reduce sugar in the formulation of the filling, and using inulin results in replacement of an equivalent amount of fat. To prove how practical it is to add synbiotics to waffles, and to determine the product’s consumer appeal, a tasting assessment of the new types of waffle products has been made. It has been proved that adding synbiotic complexes to the formulations of waffles will result in the consistent high quality of the products, and in their better sensory characteristics. Besides, it can contribute to making the people of Ukraine healthier and fitter for work.

Summary: The increasing interest in adult attachment concepts in social, personality, and clinical psychology has led to the proliferation of multiple self-report measures operationalizing such constructs as they are reflected in a variety of related conceptual models. Recent investigations of adult attachment measures indicate they generally converge in providing rather global information regarding the general positive or negative quality of enduring bonds with primary caregivers during the adult years or the general positive or negative quality of relational style individuals exhibit in the formation of new relationships. Benjamin and her colleagues proposed an integration of interpersonal and attachment theories based on Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB) to improve precision of adult attachment assessment. They suggested that the addition of SASB-based interpersonal descriptors would improve the utility of attachment concepts in assessment and relational diagnosis. Two studies were conducted to evaluate these propositions by examining the convergent relations between childhood parental representations assessed by the SASB Intrex questionnaires and two measures of adult attachment constructs. Results of both studies supported predicted convergence between SASB dimensions and attachment constructs. Fearful and preoccupied adult attachment styles, perceptions of rejecting early attachment, and current angry and dismissive states of mind toward the caregiver are negatively related to SASB affiliation. Perceptions of enmeshed early attachment is negatively related to SASB autonomy. The addition of interpersonal descriptors to the assessment of global attachment constructs adds precision to the description of “internal working models,” increasing sophistication of attachment concepts for relational diagnosis and assessment. A framework for integrated attachment/interpersonal assessment is discussed and examples are provided.

We examined the relationship between texture responses (T) on the Rorschach and adult attachment in the Japanese population. 47 Japanese undergraduate and graduate students (mean age = 20.16, SD = 1.87) completed a self-report adult attachment scale as well as the Rorschach. An ANOVA revealed that T = 1 participants were attached more securely than were other groups. T > 1 participants were more preoccupied with attachment and scored higher on an attachment anxiety scale than the T = 1 group. Although these results were consistent with the interpretation of the texture response according to the Comprehensive System (CS), the results obtained for T = 0 participants were inconsistent with hypotheses derived from the CS. T = 0 participants were high on preoccupied and attachment anxiety scores, although they were theoretically expected to be high on dismissing or attachment avoidance. These results indicated that – at least in Japan – T should be regarded as a sensitive measure of attachment anxiety.
