Aim: The study aimed to investigate the effects of the self-talk of the athletes of all ages in the Curling National Team during competition on their perception of coping with stress.. Methods: In the first part, questions for demographic characteristics were used for the participants. In the second part, the self-talk scale developed by Zervas, Stavrou, and Psychountaki (2007) consisting of 11 items, 2 sub-dimensions, and a 5-point Likert was used. The scale was adapted to Turkish by Engür in 2011. In the third part, the scale of coping with stress developed by Moos (1993), which consists of 24 items, 5 sub-dimensions, and a 5-point Likert type was used. It was adapted to Turkish by Ballı and Kılıç (2016). While the study population was composed of the athletes in the Curling National Team, the sample group consisted of 106 athletes, of which 46 were women and 60 men. Results: The linear regression analysis reveals that the self-talk predicted 27% of the perceptions of coping with stress. The results also show that self-talk (p=,896) and the perceptions of coping with stress (p=,377) did not show any difference by the variable of gender. The findings by the variable of age indicate that the self-talk (p=,053) and the attitudes to cope with stress (p=,005) were statistically significant. Conclusion: According to the results of the correlation analysis, a low level and a positive significant relationship were observed between self-talk and coping with stress (r=302).

The issue of self-assessment is primarily discussed in the context of human behaviour, learning, and self-esteem. It seems important to include self-assessment in building individual competences and coping with stress. Nowadays we have more and more resources, but we also experience a greater number of stressful stimuli, which is a consequence of, among others occupational burnout. Is the self-assessment associated with the perceived stress? Is the self-assessment related to the style of coping with stress? The purpose of this article is to determine the intensity of the relationship between self-assessment and stress, and styles of coping with stress. The study was conducted in a group of 210 students specialising in social work, employed in social assistance institutions or intending to take up a job as a social worker.

In order to collect data in the study, the self-talk scale developed by Zervas, Stavrou and Psychountaki (2007) and adapted to the Turkish Culture by Engur (2011), and the decision making styles scale developed by Mann et al. (1998) and adapted to Turkish by Deniz (2004) were used. According to the findings of the study, self-talk score, it was determined that self-esteem in decision making and careful decision-making scores were high and avoidant, procrastination and panic decision-making scores were low. According to the correlation analysis, cognitive function and motivational function dimensions were found to be positive with careful decision-making from sub-dimensions, and were found to be negative with procrastination and panic decision-making from sub-dimensions, and decision-making styles scale of cognitive function dimension were found to be positive with self-esteem dimension. Significant differences were determined in the sub-dimensions of the decision-making scale based on the playing for national team, age, and playing status in the leagues of the sports players. As a result, it was determined that self-talk of table tennis players in a positive way increases self-esteem and careful decision-making, while decreasing procrastination and panic and decision-making.

This article is a inquiry about how Barrès (1862-1923) handles the religious rite of pilgrimage. Barrès stages in his writings three successive forms of pilgrimage, revealing what is sacred to him at different times. The pilgrimage to a museum or to the birthplace of an artist is typical for the egotism and the humanism of the young Barrès, expressed in the Cult of the Self (1888-1891). After his conversion to nationalism, Barrès tries to unite the sons of France and to instill in them a solemn reverence for “the earth and the dead” ; for that purpose he encourages in French Amities (1903) pilgrimages to historical places of national importance (battlefields; birthplace of Joan of Arc), building what Nora later called the Realms of Memory. The third stage of Barrès’ intellectual evolution is exemplified by The Sacred Hill (1913). In this book the writer celebrates the places where “the Spirit blows”, and proves open to a large scale of spiritual forces, reaching back to paganism and forward to integrative syncretism, which aims at unifying “the entire realm of the sacred”.

The springboard for this essay is the author’s encounter with the feeling of horror and her attempts to understand what place horror has in philosophy. The inquiry relies upon Leonid Lipavsky’s “Investigation of Horror” and on various textual plunges into the fanged and clawed (and possibly noumenal) abyss of Nick Land’s work. Various experiences of horror are examined in order to build something of a typology, while also distilling the elements characteristic of the experience of horror in general. The essay’s overall hypothesis is that horror arises from a disruption of the usual ways of determining the boundaries between external things and the self, and this leads to a distinction between three subtypes of horror. In the first subtype, horror begins with the indeterminacy at the boundaries of things, a confrontation with something that defeats attempts to define it and thereby calls into question the definition of the self. In the second subtype, horror springs from the inability to determine one’s own boundaries, a process opposed by the crushing determinacy of the world. In the third subtype, horror unfolds by means of a substitution of one determinacy by another which is unexpected and ungrounded. In all three subtypes of horror, the disturbance of determinacy deprives the subject, the thinking entity, of its customary foundation for thought, and even of an explanation of how that foundation was lost; at times this can lead to impairment of the perception of time and space. Understood this way, horror comes within a hair’s breadth of madness - and may well cross over into it.

For the development of a democratic self, dialogical relationships between different people and between different positions in the self are paramount. After a review of studies on self-talk, the main part of this chapter is devoted to a comparison of the works of two classic thinkers on dialogue, Mikhail Bakhtin and David Bohm. A third theoretical perspective is depicted in which central elements of the two theorists are combined. This perspective centers around the concept of “generative dialogue” that, as a learning process, has the potential of innovation in the form of new and common meanings without total unification of the different positions. Elaborating on central features of generative dialogue, a distinction is made between consonant and dissonant dialogue, the latter of which is inevitable in a time of globalization and localization in which people are increasingly interdependent and, at the same time, faced with their apparent differences.

Abstract Background The maternal use of paracetamol during pregnancy has been associated with the development of preeclampsia. This study aims to clarify whether the connection is causal or whether it is due to reverse causation. Methods This study is a continuation of the retrospective case cohort study examining 2,508 pregnant women using a variety of drugs and the development of preeclampsia (1,252 women with preeclampsia and 1,256 controls). For the purposes of this study, more precise data was collected from several hospital databases of the women among this cohort who had reported taking paracetamol during pregnancy (indications, gestational period etc.); this was evaluated in association with the development of preeclampsia. Results 5.5% (100 cases and 37 controls) of all the study population (2,508) had clearly reported paracetamol use. Women with preeclampsia had used significantly more often paracetamol during pregnancy compared to controls (cases 8.0%, controls 2.9%, p < 0.001). The difference was most evident in the third trimester (after the 29th GW) and the use of paracetamol was associated with both mild and severe preeclampsia. Headache and “general pain” were the most common indications for medication among all paracetamol users. Conclusions The use of paracetamol in the third trimester of pregnancy was associated with preeclampsia. This observation indicates that association between paracetamol use and preeclampsia is probably due to reverse causation, i.e. women with preeclampsia experience more headaches due to preeclampsia symptoms since this association was not detected with the use of paracetamol in earlier stages of pregnancy.
