The Tutor at Egeløkke. By Gustav Albeck. By introducing some new source material (Grundtvig’s “Character and Lesson Book for Karl Steensen de Leth”, written in the period from March to November, 1806), this essay seeks to shed new light on the frequently discussed subject: Grundtvig’s stay at the manor of Egeløkke on Langeland and his violent infatuation for the lady of the house, Fru Constance Leth, née Fabritius de Tengnagel. The Character Book is written in a sober and practical tone throughout, and gives an account from week to week of Grundtvig’s work as tutor for Constance’s son, Karl. It is introduced by a series of pedagogical reflections, in which Grundtvig does not try to hide his scanty knowledge and experience as a teacher, but which nevertheless surprise us by their deep insight and a freedom from prejudice which tempt us to characterise them as completely mature. The Character Book shows that Grundtvig made great demands on the memory and power of understanding of his pupil, who was only eight years old, especially in Geography and in Grundtvig’s favourite subject, History. In the last-named subject Grundtvig frequently succeeded in arousing his young pupil’s warm interest and enthusiasm, and the History lessons were not seldom the bright spots in Grundtvig’s days at Egeløkke, which were often full of anguish. These feelings of anguish were a consequence of his having fallen in love with the lady of the house. In the spring months of 1805, when he had newly arrived at Egeløkke, he experienced for a short time an intense, intoxicating happiness. Probably, unacquainted as he was with the free and easy manners which were characteristic of social life in the Danish manor-houses at the time of the Napoleonic War, he may have read a good deal more into the kindness and sympathy which Fru Constance showed him than he was justified in doing. The pages of his diary, of which only fragments have been preserved, show that he suffered great moral distress for a while, because his love was for a married woman, but he realised quite early, presumably by the end of the summer of 1805, that his feelings for the lady were not returned – or rather, perhaps, discovered to his surprise that he was not the only one to receive kindness, signs of affection and gentle glances from the fair one. From time to time the pages of the diary bear witness to his jealousy and a growing offence because of the adored one’s behaviour, an offence which developed into very harsh accusations and which, probably around July 15th, 1806, caused a violent dispute with the lady, during which, angry and indignant, she repudiated his harsh accusations and offensive suspicions. The Character Book is of value as a supplementary source together with the scattered and only partially preserved diary entries, since it shows that Fru Constance annoyed Grundtvig almost every day by disturbing and interfering with his work as a teacher, partly by arbitrarily giving Karl an exceptional amount of freedom from his lessons, and partly by the extensive sociability and entertaining which upset the regular daily routine at Egeløkke and, to no less an extent, impaired the jealous tutor’s peace of mind. From the last couple of years at Egeløkke no diaries or source material of that kind from Grundtvig’s hand have been preserved. To that period belong his first printed works, especially concerning Scandinavian mythology - evidence that he was in process of freeing himself from the slavery in which his youthful infatuation for the fair mistress of the house had bound him, as he has also poetically described it in his famous poem: “Strandbakken ved Egeløkke” (“The Hill by the Strand at Egeløkke” ). Only during his great religious (and ethicsl) crisis in 18 10 - 1 1 did he completely free himself from his longing for Constance. In a draft for his last poem to her (written for her birthday on April nth, 1 8 1 1 ) he described his earlier poems to her as the outcome of “The envious pain of wounded pride And feelings that were never in my heart”. The words did not appear in the completed poem, and, even if they seem a trifle too honest and self-critical, still, as a perusal of the extant source material shows, they come amazingly near the truth about his relations with Constance, as they took shape after the intoxicating transport of happiness had worn off.

Background: Menstrual problems are common among adolescent girls which can affect their daily routine and quality of life. Early detection and intervention for the menstrual problems can improve future reproductive health. Aims: To nd the prevalence and type of menstrual disorders, premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder among adolescents in the primary care setting. This was a community based cross sectional survey done covering Materials and methods: the whole of Thiruvananthapuram district, Kerala..Anganwadis were the primary data collecting units, selected by systematic random sampling. Data was collected using pretested structured questionnaire and validated premenstrual symptoms screening tool. Mean, standard deviation and simple percentage were used. Chi square test was used for nding associations and signicance level. P value <0.05 was taken as signicant. The most common reported Results: problems during menstruation were dysmenorrhoea (73.6%), moderate to severe premenstrual syndrome (13.5%), oligomenorrhoea (12.5%), menorrhagia (8.4%) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (6.2%).The prevalence of menstrual problems increased as the age increased Conclusions: Majority of adolescents suffer from one or other menstrual problem which can affect their academic and social life. It can also affect their future reproductive health. So school health programs should give emphasis on adolescent menstrual health for a healthy future generation.

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed social life within a very short time. Lockdown policies often consider the trade-off between containing the spread of the pandemic and the negative impact for the economy. Policy makers should pay more attention to the psychological and social impacts of the lockdown.ObjectivesHow did the mental health of adolescents in Germany change during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown in Germany?Material and MethodsAnalyses are based on longitudinal data from Germany and a random sample of the birth cohorts 2001-03. Respondents were 15-17 years old at the first interview in 2018/19. 854 adolescents participated in the second wave of the survey in May and June 2020. Depressiveness is assessed with the State-Trait Depression Scale.ResultsDuring the first lockdown, adolescents show a significant increase in depressive symptoms. Prior to the lockdown, 10.2 percent had clinically relevant depressive symptoms [CI: 8.0; 12.4]. In spring 2020, the prevalence increased to 25.2 percent [CI: 22.0; 28.4]. Young women have a significantly higher risk of developing depressive symptoms than men of the same age. Immigrant background is an equally strong risk factor. The prevalence of depressive symptoms among adolescents with an immigrant background increased from 11% to 33%.DiscussionTo address this increased mental health risk and the inequalities, policy makers and society should ensure access and availability of target-group-specific and low-threshold prevention and counselling.

This study aims to create a database application program that is able to process data on lecturer course activities and generate reports on the calculation of teaching fees periodically during the pandemic which requires lecturers to report lecture activities online. The system design method approach used is prototyping, namely by creating a program that most closely resembles user needs in a relatively short time. The prototype was generated using the Microsoft Access 2010 database application. The selection of microsoft access to create a prototype was based on the availability of complete facilities in Microsoft Access to design table relations, input forms, query processing, reports and the visual basic programming language for applications. Google Forms used to receive lecture data input online. The application development stages consist of design, testing and implementation stages. This application has succeeded in providing the right solution for the Padang State Polytechnic Accounting Department during the pandemic in calculating and reporting lecture activities and lecturers teaching fees.

<p><span>Manaqiban is one of the activities that manifested in religious values practice. This article aims to illustrate that the manaqiban which exist in Mejobo, Kudus, Indonesia community are not only performed exclusively by those who gain the degree of excellence (<em>ijazah</em>) but also it has become a decline of the society. Through the qualitative method with the analytical descriptive approach and based on the motive theory and motif classification study, it is considered biogenetic, sociogenetic and theogenetic motifs, the results show that peoples influenced by sociogenetic and theogenetic motifs. Carrying on any traditions because of what the society and their families have done as sociogenetic motives, while theogenetic motives are seen on <em>washilah</em> prayer or <em>tawashul</em> to receive the blessing of Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jailani. The implications of the Mejobo peoples are in the individual organizers of the desire to seek safety, peace of mind and their religious beliefs.</span></p>

A major difficulty with teaching ethics is that it is relatively easy for participants to state the “right” thing to do when they have no personal stake in the outcome. One way of dealing with this problem is to teach ethics through engrossing, immersive, predictive scenario games in which players are forced to deal with ethical issues as they arise, where they have a personal stake in the outcome, and where there is not always a clear right answer. Predictive scenario games are a form of serious live-action roleplaying in which participants take on the roles of people involved in complex situations. In these games, knowledge of the game world is distributed among the players through overlapping and conflicting goals, and in which ethical dilemmas emerge naturally, without fanfare, much as they would in the real world. There is a high level of tension between cooperation and competition among the players. This structure creates the opportunity for players to experience the consequences of their own judgment in realistic, ethically fraught situations, to receive feedback, and to engage in constructive discussion, within a relatively short time period.

This chapter considers some of what is known about variation in wh-movement and negation, and the extent to which parameter hierarchies can be constructed to account for at least some of that variation. A good deal of the variation surveyed in this chapter follows from the formal options allowing these special indefinites to receive the interpretations they do. It begins with wh-parameters, in particular the very well-known parameter determining whether a language has overt wh-movement or not, as well as the parameters governing different kinds of multiple wh-movement. It then turns to negation. One interesting point which emerges is that parametric variation regarding some aspects of interrogatives and negation is very simple, and probably does not involve a hierarchy. In other areas, parameter hierarchies of the now familiar kind can be proposed.

I was furnished with the particulars of the following case, through the kindness of James Thomson, Esq. of Primrose, near Clitheroe. John Chambers, aged 19, a carpenter at Clitheroe, in Lancashire, was in the habit, during the hot weather of July 1814, of refreshing himself whilst at work, by eating a quantity of unripe plums, of which, at various times, he ate several quarts, and generally swallowed the stones, under the erroneous notion entertained by the lower classes in that neighbourhood, that they would assist the digestion of the fruit. A fellow workman of Chambers, aged 30, pursued the same practice with impunity. Not so the unfortunate subject of this communication, who about Christmas began to complain, but still pursued his occupation and worked, with some interruption, till February 1815, when he applied to Mr. Coultate, of Clitheroe, for advice, complaining of pain in the abdomen attended with diarrhœa. The abdomen on examination felt tense but not much enlarged, nor had he any feverish symptoms. When in the workshop, he used to lean against the bench, pressing his stomach hard against it, which, he said, afforded him great relief. Medicines of an astringent nature were first prescribed, which seemed for a time to be of service, but the diarrhœa ere long increased, extreme emaciation took place, and a hard circumscribed tumour was discovered on one side of the abdomen, which, from the thinness of the abdominal parietes, Mr. Coultate could distinctly feel was an alvine concretion. Clysters were then administered, castor oil given, and the abdomen ordered to be rubbed with oil, under the idea of pushing the concretions forward, but in vain; the patient daily became more and more emaciated, and after about three months attendance he died, on the 6th of May, completely worn out. His appetite was good, or rather almost voracious, even to within a very short time of his death. He always felt himself worse after meals. His stools, especially for some weeks before he expired, were like blood and water. He was confined to his bed for about three weeks before he died. On opening the body, the concretions were found lodged in the arch of the colon, three closely compacted together, rather high up on the left side, the fourth considerably lower, approaching the termination of the colon. The coats of the intestine were much thickened and formed into a sort of pouch, where the concretions lay. The peritoneum was but little inflamed, the other viscera were healthy. The concretion which lay by itself was sawed asunder by Mr. Coultate, and contained a plum stone in the centre. The body was opened in the presence of the friends of the poor boy, and under circumstances which, unfortunately, prevented Mr. Coultate from making so minute an examination as he could have wished, and from pressure of business and other unavoidable interruptions, he did not at the time note down all the particulars of the case; but on referring to the prescriptions, he says that it does not appear that Chambers ever took the smallest quantity of calcined magnesia or its carbonate, during the whole of his attendance. He had frequent doses of sulphate of magnesia, castor oil, and rhubarb; and during the latter period of his illness opium was often administered. Chambers's usual diet was milk porridge twice a day, viz. at breakfast and supper; the milk thickened with oatmeal His dinner commonly consisted of meat and potatoes; he rarely took any other kind of vegetable, and always ate oat cake at his dinner. In the afternoon he ate oat bread, and cheese, and drank beer; so that he never took a single repast without oatmeal in some shape or other. During his illness he occasionally had oatmeal gruel, and sometimes a little beef or mutton broth, into which it is usual in Lancashire to throw, whilst preparing it, a spoonful or two of oatmeal. He was also requested at this period, to live a good deal on milk and vegetables.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study analyzes subjective aspects associated with parents’ perception of the changes that have affected their lives since the birth of their child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods: A qualitative study, using a narrative approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 7 fathers and 16 mothers of children with ASD enrolled in a special needs school in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The interviews were transcribed, analytical categories were defined, and data interpreted. Results: Five categories were identified: “Emotional and Health-Related Effects”, “Effects on Daily/Professional and Academic Life”, “Effects on Marital and/or Affective/Sexual Life”, “Effects on Social Life”, “Adaptation Strategies”. The analysis showed that, despite the impacts suffered, social support, professional help can facilitate parents’ adjustment to life changes following the birth of a child with ASD. Conclusion: The physical and emotional demands of living with and parenting a child with ASD are enormous, include changes in social roles and in couples’ social and affective/sexual lives, highlighting the need for parents to receive support from healthcare professionals, particularly mental health professionals. Care strategies need to be implemented for parents, in addition to the healthcare provided to their children, in order to improve the comprehensive care given to the child with ASD.

It is well established that grooming underpins sociality in group-living primates, and a number of studies have documented the stress-reducing effects of being groomed. In this study, we quantified grooming behaviour and physiological stress (assessed by faecal glucocorticoid analysis) in free-ranging Barbary macaques, Macaca sylvanus . Our results indicate that it is the giving rather than the receiving of grooming that is associated with lower stress levels. These findings shed important new light on the benefits of this key behaviour in primate social life.

Inca construction techniques have long been the subject of wild speculation. Investigations of ancient quarry sites and of numerous cut-stone walls reveal that the amazing Inca constructions were built with very simple means. Stones were selected out of rock falls or just broken out of a rock face with pry-bars. If the blocks needed to be parted, big hammerstones were used to split them. To dress the stones smaller hammerstones were used to pound them until they had the desired shape. The fitting of one stone to another was done by cutting the already laid stones to receive the next ones in a trial-and-error fashion. Experiments show that with this process stones can be mined, cut, dressed, and fit with little effort and in a short time.
