The phenomenon of motherhood is a challenging focus for research in the feminist literary theory/critique. The motherhood continent as a controversial point of contention in the society has become (or remains) a polemicized field between the traditionalism, critical, essentialist feminism and epistemology. Advocating for the deconstruction of social postulates of patriarchy starts with a revision of the positive connotations of motherhood, demonization of abortion/birth control, and the right to birth self-determination. In the struggle for power and control at the waning of matriarchy, the androcentric order established the purpose, model and objectives of motherhood. The examination in this work destabilizes elements of motherhood in A Women's Book, The Mermaids, Matrimonium, and Nefertiti Was Here. The objective of this work is to deconstruct the concept of motherhood that is present in our paternal/patriarchal traditions by denouncing the harmful and deeply rooted stereotypes. Simultaneously the work exposes and highlights the need for affirmation of authentic feminine legacy, elucidates aspects of the mother daughter relationship, and promotes the accomplishments of regional literature. In this scientific approach to the phenomenon of motherhood, the work makes use of such theoretical concepts as: ideology of intensive motherhood, creation of body language and women's writing, motherly instinct, maternal ideology, matriarchy and mythology, the black continent, identification with the mother, as well as the mother-daughter relationship, the child's belonging, motherhood and non-motherhood and abortion-birth sterility. The inclusion of these themes in the narratives is an indicative question of the subjective affirmative experience of motherhood, where we find transcendental impulses for generating women's language and creation, which juxtapose ideological norms, intensity of motherhood and achieve autonomy in literary creation.

Desperate Attempt

Domestic violence is put together by patterns of behaviors used in a desperate attempt to gain and maintain power and control over another human being within the context of a relationship, mostly a love and- or intimate relationship. From this perspective domestic violence does not discriminate, it can happen to anyone. Domestic violence is a huge global problem and affect people from all levels of society, socioeconomic, cultural, educational, emotional etc. Domestic violence is exercised both physically, sexually, materially, psychologically, latent and as counter abuse. Societal institutions like CPS (Child Protective Services) and prison represents to certain degree an unclearness due to the fact that they both exercise the implementation of sanctions, help and therapy. CPS and prisons strip people from their autonomy, the right to self-determination, work and children (indirectly, of course), they cooperate with district attorneys, prosecutors, prison and secret services – creating ambiguous roles who are difficult to handle. In this article I will attempt to describe what abuse is, its nature, how to recognize domestic violence and how we can meet people that experience domestic abuse. How can we help people that have been subjected to domestic violence from a collaborative approach? There are many interpretations on the subject of domestic violence, and I will by no means postulate that my version is an exhaustive one, it’s just one way at looking at the subject hoping that it will contribute to a greater awareness on the topic, and contribute to a more extensive development of skills enabling us to combat the crime of domestic violence, successfully.

The Relationship

ABSTRACTIn order to examine relations between political authorities and the health system we need a historical view that allows us to understand the drift of the ever expanding health system under liberal systems and the introduction of new concepts such as the right to health under so-called Welfare States. State appropriation of citizens’ health, through health systems, changes the paradigm of the doctor-patient relationship as understood traditionally and historically, and makes us cautious about what may be a threat to our individual liberties, with a disproportionate health service and states that intervene directly in the lives of their citizens not only as regards the law but also their health and bodies. This all needs to be analyzed unreservedly and we must be careful that the right to health does not become an instrument of power and control by states over citizens, thus diminishing our liberties.RESUMENLa necesidad de examinar las relaciones entre poder político y sistema sanitario requiere de una mirada histórica que nos permita comprender la deriva que al amparo de los sistemas liberales ha ido teniendo el cada vez más expansivo sistema sanitario y la introducción de nuevos conceptos como el derecho a la salud propio de los llamados Estados del Bienestar. La apropiación por parte de los Estados, a través de los sistemas sanitarios, de la salud de los ciudadanos cambia el paradigma de relación medico / paciente que había sido tradicional a lo largo de la historia y nos hace ser precavidos sobre lo que puede resultar una amenaza a nuestras propias libertades individuales con una sanidad seguramente desmedida y unos Estados que intervienen directamente en la vida  de sus ciudadanos no solo jurídicamente, sino sanitariamente, corporalmente. Todo ello requiere ser analizado sin reservas de ningún tipo y estar atentos no vaya a ser que el derecho a la salud acabe siendo un instrumento de poder y control por parte de los Estados sobre los ciudadanos que permita una disminución de nuestras libertades.

Chapter 4, the first of several chapters devoted to specific alternative strategies for small-handed players, shows how redistributing notes--taking notes with the left hand that are meant to be taken by the right, or the reverse--can mitigate or even eliminate problems caused by small handedness. To redistribute notes, the pianist must mentally reconfigure note distributions printed on the score and translate that information into action. The difficulty of this task may explain why redistribution is underutilized as an adaptive approach. Inventive solutions to common challenges found in a wide range of pedagogical and concert piano literature are presented. Specific areas of focus include: uncrossing parts; eliminating stretches in chords and arpeggios; facilitating leaps or hand shifts; increasing accuracy, power, and control; maintaining more neutral hand and wrist positions; facilitating trills and tremolos; maintaining legato and line; and projecting harmony.

This chapter assesses Articles 29, 30, and 32 to consider natural resources and the environment. Article 32 bears a profound relationship with the right to self-determination and defines overall the contours and the requirements for States' disposal of natural resources, in line with the contemporary emphasis on human-rights based and participatory forms of development. The provision is in fact pivotal to enabling indigenous peoples to set and pursue their own development path and requires participation and engagement at a broader level, beyond ad-hoc consultations on specific projects. Thus, the issue of use and control of natural resources in indigenous territories should be addressed more broadly in the light of the recognition of indigenous peoples' right to determine their priorities and strategies for the development and use of their lands and territories in Article 32(1) of the Declaration.

Stroke Cycle

This paper reports a behavioural analysis of the movements and righting responses of the abdominal pleopods (swimmerets) and uropods (tail fans) of the lobster Homarus americanus . The movements of individual swimmerets, studied from high-speed motion pictures, consist of a basic power stroke–return stroke cycle, upon which other cyclic power and control movements are superimposed. Tilting a lobster around the long axis of its body initiates bilaterally asymmetrical swimmeret beating. The swimmerets on the side tilted upward beat out toward the side, while those on the side tilted downward beat either straight to the rear, or not at all. These bilaterally asymmetrical swimmeret movements produce a cyclic righting torque around the long axis of the lobster’s body. The peak-to-peak amplitude of this torque is directly proportional to the frequency of swimmeret beating. The characteristics of the righting torque were related to the movements of individual swimmerets. Tilting a lobster around its long axis also evokes bilaterally asymmetrical uropod movements. The uropod on the side tilted downward is spread open, while the uropod on the side tilted upward is closed. It is argued that these movements also contribute to the production of righting torque. The righting responses of both the swimmerets and the uropods are controlled exclusively by the statocyst receptors. The position and acceleration receptors of the statocysts probably both participate in the control of the responses. Destroying one statocyst shifts the position of symmetry for the swimmerets and uropods from upright to 20° toward the injured side. Either the right or left statocyst can alone control the righting responses of the uropod and swimmerets of either side, however, even though the afferent responses of the two statocysts to roll in one direction are opposite. Neural models based on the bilaterally reciprocal organization of statocyst influences are proposed to explain these findings.

Ownership is considered as a social and psychological phenomenon based on the basic instinctive need for property, which satisfaction is closely linked to personality formation and group consciousness functioning. Cognitive and emotional attachment between a person and an owned object affects an individual’s self-perception and behavior. The article studies deep experiences underlying a sense of ownership. The motives of psychological appropriation define general directions of human activities and energy applied to them. The main motives of psychological appropriation are control, self-investing into time and resource, intimate knowledge of an owned object, self-efficiency, identity and feeling of belonging. We have substantiated that the satisfaction of property needs helps satisfaction of people’s basic needs: for security, respect and accepting by others, as well as for self-realization and self-determination. The article purpose is to determine empirically basic motives that prompt a person to psychological appropriation of owned objects of various natures: tangible, intangible and abstract. The empirical study on the semantic field of psychological nature of property and motivation of psychological appropriation was represented. Ownership was seen as subjective perception by a person that something belonged to him/her, without binding to the presence or absence of legally recognized laws. We tried to reflect various measurements of psychological possession motivation depending on types of owned objects: material, intangible or abstract. Polls with open issues were carried out among 150 respondents. Each of the respondents were answered a separate question for each type of ownership. The content analysis of the statements was applied in order to analyze the answers. The obtained data on the possessive motivation depending ownership types and an owners gender were presented. There were no significant differences as for age. Three aspects were particularly important to all respondents: (a) impact and control over an owned object, (b) the right to independent, unique use and (c) inaccessibility to others. The results will lay the basis for further scientific exploration in this area.

The service delivery model currently used with a large proportion of profoundly cognitively impaired (PCI) persons, results in the under-utilization of their potential and often contributes to social isolation. By providing communication and independence training the self-actualisation potential and the right to power and control, is recognised. This single case study describes the implementation of a communication intervention model with a PCI adolescent. His mother was trained in the use of picture symbol task analysis as well as positive reinforcement to promote change in the adolescent's communication skills and independence. Results indicated significant changes in the skills of both participants and highlighted the mother's need for support to meet the demands of change.

The right to self-determination is central to the current debate on rational suicide in old age. The goal of this exploratory study was to assess the presence of self-determination in suicidal institutionalized elderly persons. Eleven elderly persons with serious suicidal ideations were matched according to age, sex, and civil status with 11 nonsuicidal persons. The results indicated that suicidal persons did not differ from nonsuicidal persons in level of self-determination. There was, however, a significant difference between groups on the social subscale. Suicidal elderly persons did not seem to take others into account when making a decision or taking action. The results are discussed from a suicide-prevention perspective.
