Full textAbstract:
The role of fatalism in health behaviour has stirred significant controversy in literature across several disciplines. Some researchers have demonstrated a negative correlation between fatalistic beliefs and healthy behaviours such as cancer screening, arguing that fatalism is a barrier to health-seeking behaviours. Other studies have painted a more complicated picture of fatalistic beliefs and health behaviours that ultimately questions fatalism’s causality as a distinct factor. Unpacking this debate raises thought-provoking questions about how epistemological and methodological frameworks present particular pictures about the connections between belief, race, class and behaviour. The discussion surrounding fatalism illuminates larger tensions between structural and cultural determinants of health behaviour. This article argues for a more rigorous delineation of culture and structure and suggests that future theory-informed and ethnographic research may more precisely parse the role of fatalism in health attitudes, beliefs and behaviours.

Full textAbstract:
Film noir is one of American cinema’s most renowned and well-studied phenomena. It is a cycle of films made during the 1940s and 1950s, mostly produced as B-movies, i.e., cheaper films presented as part of a double feature. This is one of the most important reasons why it took such a long time for American film scholars to address the importance of film noir. The first monograph on film noir, Panorama du film noir américain, was published in France in 1955, and this work by Borde and Chaumeton remains one of the most valuable studies covering this important cycle. Generally speaking, French film scholars are those most responsible for highlighting the value of American, and especially Hollywood, film while significant American contributions to the study of film noir only began in the 1970s. Like few American films that preceded it, The Killers presented a completely dark world filled with hapless protagonists, where the only location that evokes even a glimmer of happiness is a terrace on the edge of the city. All other locations are a vivid reflection of the state of mind of the film’s main characters, lost in the dark labyrinths of the metropolis, victims of the unfathable threads that fate uses to play with their lives. Utilizing a combination of extremely claustrophobic locations and flashbacks that further fragment an already very complex narrative, Siodmak created a work that is one of the most faithful evocations of fatalism in American film.

Full textAbstract:
The article provides a philosophical analysis of the problem of fate and heroism based on the works of Mikhail Lermontov and Leo Tolstoy. The author examines this problem against the background of the modern cultural and philosophical context, bringing the philosophy of literature closer to the philosophy of culture and philosophical anthropology. The article demonstrates that for Lermontov and Tolstoy a hero becomes a hero when he meets his fate, opposing his will and honor to inevitability, strives to become a demigod and to compare to eternity and multicolored fullness of the nature’s life. The author analyzes the motives of childishness, merging with nature, meeting with destiny, aristocratic rejection of modern European rationalism (the philosophy of the bourgeois and raznochintsy), the rejection of history with its reasonable “sense and purpose” and the ideas of justice and retribution. All these features of the worldview and art of Lermontov and Tolstoy are dictated by their heroics. An unreasonable and unjust world where blind fate reigns is the world depicted in their works and aesthetically justified in them. The article also discusses Lermontov and Tolstoy’s zealous persecution of pseudo-heroism of “our time”: the profanation of fatalism leads to the degeneration of heroism. Thus, the European world of “knowledge and doubt”, which has rejected the idea of fate, is contrasted with the world of heroic play. Both the former and the latter are mythologemes, Lermontov and Tolstoy strive to build another, mythological world of childishness and aristocracy outside of history next to the real world of the Pechorins.

Full textAbstract:
"Lei Yu (Thunderstorm)" by Cao Yu presents the tragedy of Zhou Gong Guan, a feudal family in the Republican era, by characterizing different personalities, backgrounds and ethical relationships. As a dramatic work of considerable status in modern Chinese literature, "Lei Yu" contains many profound connotations. From its publication in 1934 to the present, "Lei Yu" has profoundly exposed the problems of the feudal family's autocratic and corrupt times through the meticulous and precise portrayal of its many characters' complex relationships and the gradual clarification of its historical past. This work exposes not only the conflicts of the members of the Zhou Gong Guan but also the class disparity and the status of men and women in the era through the class and gender of each member. At present, academic research on "Lei Yu" is very mature, but there is still some room for research on the analysis of the characters' relationship and tragedy of fate in relation to the author's view of fate and the imagery of "Lei Yu". Therefore, this paper will start with the interpretation of Cao Yu's view of fate, analyze the author's view of "the fatalism of gods and ghosts" and "the view of nature and heaven" in the preface, and then analyze the imagery of "Lei Yu" to derive the tragedy of fate. Then, through the analysis of the imagery of this work, the complex family conflicts and the characters' view of fate behind it are derived, and then the characters' characters, experiences and identities are carefully analyzed through both character tragedies and ethical tragedies, revealing the irresistible tragedy of fate in the relationship between the characters of "Lei Yu", which means that all characters in the play have tragedies in character and ethical relationships.

Full textAbstract:
As one of the four great classics of China, "The Dream of the Red Chamber" is the pearl of the treasure of the world classical literature. With the development of film and television technology, the masterpiece has been repeatedly put on the screen, and has gained great national popularity. In particular, the writing of the fate of some women indicates the plot of the novel, shapes the characters, creates the tragic atmosphere and the helpless tone, which not only guides the overall direction of the novel, but also greatly enriches the ideological and cultural connotation of "The Dream of the Red Chamber". To some extent, it is under the guidance of the ancient philosophy of fatalism that "The Dream of the Red Chamber" has such great charm. Today, although the rise of national consciousness, the public has their own understanding of breaking through the shackles of destiny. So this paper will start with the fatalistic view and discuss the influence of focusing on the Dream of Red Mansions and its expression on gender.

Full textAbstract:
John Martin Fischer’s core project in Our Fate (2016) is to develop and defend Pike-style arguments for theological incompatibilism, i. e., for the view that divine omniscience is incompatible with human free will. Against Ockhamist attacks on such arguments, Fischer maintains that divine forebeliefs constitute so-called hard facts about the times at which they occur, or at least facts with hard ‘kernel elements’. I reconstruct Fischer’s argument and outline its structural analogies with an argument for logical fatalism. I then point out some of the costs of Fischer’s reasoning that come into focus once we notice that the set of hard facts is closed under entailment.

Inasmuch as they offer advice on howto improve appearances, nineteenth-century beauty manuals also vividly describe the dangers of putting on a face. The consequences of using cosmetics – often comprised of toxic ingredients such as arsenic, mercury, and lead – might range from the discomfort of surface irritation to the fatality of poisoning. Several manuals recount the unfortunate story of Lady Mary Montagu, who suffered an allergic reaction to a popular cosmetic, the Genuine Balm of Mecca, which led her face to turn red and swell “to a very extraordinary size . . . . It remained in this tormentable state three days, during which you may be sure I passed my time very ill” (Toilette of Health64). Another woman succumbed to an equally unfortunate fate as the facial powder, or “pearl white,” she wore to a scientific demonstration suddenly turned black in an adverse reaction to the chemicals used in the experiment. In an even more tragic case, “Mrs. S, being much troubled with pimples, applied an alum poultice to her face, which was soon followed by a stroke of the palsy, and terminated in her death” (Clark iv, 46). These stories caution that beautification through artificial means may eradicate the very self that had sought improvement.

Full textAbstract:
A perennial subject of dispute in the Western philosophical tradition is whether human agents can be responsible for their actions even if determinism is true. By determinism, I mean the view that everything that happens (human actions, choices, and deliberations included) is completely determined by antecedent causes. One of the least impressive objections that is leveled against determinism confuses determinism with a very different view that has come to be known as “fatalism”: this is the view that everything is determined to happen independently of human choices, efforts, and deliberations. It is a common fallacy, among students contemplating the implications of determinism for the first time, to argue: “But if everything is determined in advance, then it doesn't matter what we decide to do; what is determined to happen will happen no matter what.” This argument fallaciously infers fatalism from determinism.

Full textAbstract:
In most scientific papers, female sexuality is represented from the point of view of physiology. In "History of Sexuality", Michel Foucault introduces the term "superknowledge of sexuality," stating that this notion "is not developed at the level of the individual, but at the level of culture and society." According to Foucault, the knowledge of contemporary society of sexuality coexists with the inability to realize our own sexuality. Knowledge of sexuality is rather theoretical, philosophical, analytical, but not personal.We will explore the nuances of female sexuality in the works of classics, as well as in some modern works. Even in the biblical scripture of the creation of the woman and of the original sin, Eve is present, tempting and challenging. She provokes Adam to pick up the forbidden fruit. She is chosen to commit the Fall. She gives in to the temptation. She persuades Adam to taste the fruit of the tree.How does a woman express her sexuality, is she equal in dignity to a man, is only she subject to sin, is she submissive to the man, is not she stronger than him with her emotionality?We will look for answers to these questions in Otto Weinginger's "Gender and Character", who tragically interrupted his life at the age of 23. His different views on the character of the woman, the absolute superiority of the man, her role as a pimp, are later developed or refuted in various literary and scientific works.Female sexuality is expressed in a different way. A woman is fragile, timid, even innocent in the literary works of the Marquis de Sade, but her fate is fatal. Seduction through sincerity and repentance, through obedience and the power of emotions - all this leads to a fatalism so beautifully reproduced in the feminine images of the Marquis de Sade.In the originally forbidden novel "Lady Chatterley's Lover", D. Lawrence presents a new world of love and freedom. Here, female sexuality is in conflict with the irresistible desire to break the constraints of society at that time. Society is vulgar to the open expression of female sexuality and despises the woman's desire to devote herself entirely. In the novel, sexuality is not ostentatious but interwoven with romanticism and dedication. Lawrence sharpened the contrast between the cynicism of modern thinking and the spontaneity of love. The year is 1928, the novel is like a bang.In the fifties of the last century, appeared Vladimir Nabokov`s Lolita. The novel scandalizes with its sophisticated perversity, but that is only at first glance. Nabokov is fascinated by the idea of love, love as madness, as self-forgetting, as obsession. Sexuality is devastating, the little "nymphet" is charming, dangerously seductive and insidious. Sometimes Lolita in her newly awakened sexuality is even vulgar.At a later stage, P. Modiano envelops sexuality in mystery. The character of “Villa Triste” sinks into a mysterious veil, the memories come back, everything is like in a fog, like in a slow-motion. Yvonne is vulnerable and confused, delightful in her disdain for the others, only a few steps away from the audience, a slight smile, and the magic is here. No action is required from her, only a perfect gait, a casual head, a dreamy look, and all are captivated. Beauty and perfection. The woman conquers only with her presence. Sexuality consists in the challenging smile, in the dance of the golden-red hair. Discretion and mystery. Eroticism.We finish with the novel by P. Buvivalda "Bonita Avenue". Characters are bright, memorable, non-standard. We are entering the depths of sexuality, with its cynical manifestations, but described gently and intriguingly.

Objective: What is the characterization of family involvement in health decisions, filial piety, religiosity/spirituality, and fatalism as they relate to attitudes/intentions toward end-of-life (EOL) planning/decision making among elderly Dominicans and Puerto Ricans in East Harlem, New York City? Method: An exploratory study using grounded theory and domain analysis was conducted with 51 elderly Dominicans and Puerto Ricans. Purposive and emerging themes were identified by three coders. Results: Purposive themes were family involvement in health decisions/filial piety and religiosity/spirituality/fatalism and for clinical EOL-related terms; emerging themes were accessing/using EOL care, autonomy, influence of death/dying on own future care decisions, and death/dying is a private matter. Implications: The recommendations for community members are to empower awareness of EOL issues, engage providers regarding cultural needs, and clarification of advance care planning (ACP) function; the recommendations for providers are to engage patients to enhance culturally responsive care, clarify ACP function, and ask patients about preference for roles of family and God in decisions; the recommendations for policy makers are to enhance palliative education/access and immigration status research protections.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus - 2 ( SARS - CoV - 2) has infected over 100 million individuals worldwide with diverse impacts on nations. The rising cases of n ew strains and resultant infection waves create an urgent need to assess the readiness of countries especially in Africa to mitigate the impact on community transmission. This paper delivers a brief synopsis of the novel SARS - CoV - 2, emerging cases of new v ariants reported worldwide, and implications for genetic surveillance of disease transmission in low - and middle - income countries ( LMICs) especially Africa. Materials and Methods: Literature search used keywords like SARS - CoV - 2; COVID - 19 epidemiology; pan demic waves; corona outbreak, clinical syndromes, treatments, prevention and control. Cross - sectional and observational studies published on COVID - 19 from 2019 till date of study provided main information sources. Databases such as Web of Science, Embase, PubMed and Google Scholar were utilised. Main findings: Over 220 countries have documented COVID - 19 cases with varied severity till date. Before the spikes in resurgence, a highly virulent mutated (>90% fatality rate) novel strain of COVID - 19 had been doc umented. There is very little data to ascertain the impact of the COVID - 19 infection waves in LMICs. Discussion: LMICs especially African countries still grapple with significant challenges like inefficient surveillance mechanisms, inadequate vaccination c overage, inadequate enforcement of environmental health strategies, poor health systems etc. Hence, Africa’s fate remains dicey in the face of the dynamic evolution of the SARS - CoV - 2 and other identified challenges. Conclusion: The adoption of a multidis ciplinary approach to mitigate the impact of emergence of mutant SARS - CoV - 2 variants and resurgence of infection spike is recommended.

Full textAbstract:
Modern Western artistic culture receives the Antiquity as the ancient myth. The myth of the Atreides enjoys an increased attention of playwrights in Western Europe and the United States, since it raises the universal issues of crime and punishment, awareness of guilt and assertion of truth. This article focuses on the reception of the Atreides myth in Woody Allen’s Cassandra ’s Dream. The article analyses the cultural dialogue between Antiquity and Modernity: the director has transferred the ancient plot to modern reality and endowed the Americans with the features of ancient heroes. The plot of the film develops around a murder committed by the brothers for financial gain. It correlates with the murder of Agamemnon as well as his wife and Aegisthus. Ian’s determination is reminiscent of Elektra’s behavior: he incites his brother to commit a crime and feels no repentance after the murder has occurred. Like Euripides’s Orestes, the other brother, Terry, cannot calm down after the crime, saying that he repents and wants to open himself to the police in order to suffer a well-deserved punishment. In the conflict between the brothers, killing a brother is the only way out of the situation, although Ian says that he feels the same “strange vision”: he must kill again. While ancient heroes act under the will of gods, which gives the impression of conscious and controlled actions, modern heroes are driven by circumstances. While heroes of ancient literature take murders for granted, as a legitimate revenge or even a feat, modern artistic culture focuses on the ethical side of the bloodshed. A modern human is dominated by a new Christian morality, which though oftentimes unrealized, affects human desires and functions as a source of ethical reflections. The story of the heroes, consisting of a chain of uncontrollable events, would seem to confirm the unpredictability of life and the total dependence of people on circumstances. Fatalism is an integral part of the ancient worldview: it is not by chance that “Fate” is personified and becomes a separate character in ancient Greek tragedy. However, modern culture affirms human independence and freedom, which Terry discoveres at a moment of spiritual enlightenment after committing a crime, followed by utter repentance. The finale of the film is strikingly different from the ancient interpretations of the myth of the Atreides: the killer-heroes die. The reception of antiquity in American culture of the 21st century is a reflection on what determines the behavior of a modern person in a critical situation, similar to that in ancient mythology, as well as what is the modern attitude of a criminal to their crime. Appealing to the ancient myth, Woody Allen proves that Christian morality allows making the right, “human” decision even in the most difficult circumstances. At the same time, he shows the duality of modern culture: the imposed ideals of mass culture beguile a morally developed person, who gets illusory freedom for a lost self-identity. The author declares no conflicts of interests.

Full textAbstract:
A shift of worldviews can be observed in the historical writings of three Indo-Persian authors ‘Abd al-Malik ‘Isami, Rizq Allah Mushtaqi and Nizam al-Din Ahmad. Whereas ‘Isami viewed history as the unfolding of events predetermined by divine fate; Nizam al-Din considered human agency to be the main mover of events. Mushtaqi displayed ambivalence between the two. His text can thus be read as the expression of a worldview under disintegration and re-composition in the transition from the Sultanate to the Mughal period. This change of attitude bears similarities to other ‘Early Modern Features’ of the late sixteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines how the narrative structure and the dream narrative of Guunmong has been transformed into a modern web drama. First, the identity of the narrative structure of Guunmong and the variable nature of the dream narrative was examined. Subsequently, the pattern of the modern variation of Guunmong was reviewed by citing The Youngest Son of the Chaebol Family. Finally, the narrative custom of Guunmong was grasped from a literary and historical perspective. The above is summarized as follows. First, the structural identity of Guunmong and the variability of the dream narrative were confirmed. While inheriting the existing tradition of Mong-yu(dream) narrative, Guunmong has made a breakthrough in terms of mass. Meanwhile, the structural identity of Mong-yu novels was established, and the diversity of the dream narrative, a virtual world, could be transformed at any time. This is why Guunmong was able to be reprocessed according to the situation of the times. Second, the relationship between the variations of narrative techniques and The Youngest Son of the Chaebol Family was reviewed. The world transformed from deficiency to fulfillment. Guunmong allowed Yang So-yu to satisfy Sung-jin's lack of love in the virtual world, and The Youngest Son of the Chaebol Family allowed Yoon Hyun-woo, who was economically deficient, to become Jin Do-jun of the virtual world and live a fulfilling life. Next, the character was transformed from status to capital. In shaping the character, if Guunmong presented a medieval status as a privilege, The youngest son of a chaebol family made a change in presenting modern wealth as a vested interest. Then the character is awakened from the illusion and returned to reality. In Guunmong, Yang So-yu returned as a lonely monk after finishing his secular wealth and honor, while The Youngest Sn of a Chaebol Family transformed Jin Do-jun to return to Yoon Hyun-woo in reality after achieving all the economic things. Finally, through the transformation of fatalism, the future was predicted. If Yang So-yu of Guunmong. followed the trajectory of life according to his given fate, Jin Do-jun of The Youngest Son of the Chaebol Family was sent back to the past where Yoon Hyun-woo lived and was able to predict the future. Third, the narrative customs and literary and historical status of Guunmong was examined. Guunmong is a Momg-yu novel that creates a unique structure of reality-virtual-reality and the practice of dealing with various narrative types, which became a custom Due to this, various derivatives could be produced in the late Joseon Dynasty. It can also be useful in modern literature that have fantastic nature. This is because the narrative structure of Guunmong and various dream narratives can be transformed to capture modern problems intensely. Such a work is The Youngest Son of the Chaebol Family. Considering this, the narrative custom of Guunmong had a long tradition, and it is also worth paying attention to in terms of literary history that it has developed into video literature.

Full textAbstract:
Although there are many studies assessing the influence of religious beliefs on health they do not agree on whether the impact is positive or negative. More so, there is no consensus in the available literature on the definition of fatalism and what it means to individuals. In this phenomenological study we attempt to define what religious fatalism means to people living with diabetes in Khartoum, and how it affects their health beliefs, and how those beliefs affect their sense of coherence and generalized resistance resources, since salutogenesis is the guiding theory in this study. Three Copts and five Sunnis living with diabetes were interviewed, as well as a Coptic clergyman and a Sunni scholar. The semi-structured interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim for analysis. Thematic network analysis was used to code salient concepts into basic themes, organizing themes and global themes. The empirical findings are thus structured as the three global themes: (1) fatalism and free will; (2) health responsibility; (3) acceptance and coping. Fatalism was defined as events beyond an individual’s control where it is then the individual’s free will to seek healthy behavior. Thus health responsibility was stressed upon by the participants in this study as well as the clergyman and scholar. There is also the concept of ‘God doesn’t give one what one cannot handle’ that the participants relate to coping and acceptance. This study finds that the meaning of religious fatalism held by participants and religious clergy is not disempowering. The participants believe that they are responsible for their health. The meaning derived from fatalism is related to how they can accept what is beyond their control and cope with their health condition. Religious fatalism contributed to comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness in our participants’ response to diabetes.

Full textAbstract:
The tsunami disaster resulted in many casualties, facilities and infrastructure, property, and environmental damage in both Pandeglang Regency and Palu City. As a result of this suffering, it is likely that this will become the basis for informants to express their perceptions about the causes of the tsunami disaster. A good understanding of the public's perception of the causes of the tsunami disaster will make it easier to understand the relationship between nature, humans, society, and capacities as well as how to overcome adverse impacts before the tsunami disaster strikes. This study aims to analyze community perceptions about the causes of the tsunami disaster in Pandeglang Regency and Palu Municipality. The research method uses a qualitative phenomenological design. The data collection method used in-depth interviews, direct field observations, and documentation to analyze what was revealed by 10 informants based on their knowledge and experience when affected by the tsunami disaster. The results showed that the causes of the tsunami disaster were the wrath of God, fate or fatalism factors, and natural factors. The fate factor or fatalism is a view that agrees to give up before fighting. This can disrupt the tsunami disaster management process using the new Paradigm. The new paradigm is to prioritize efforts to reduce the risk of tsunami disasters by making people and local governments aware in the form of disaster prevention measures. The action is to conduct a disaster risk assessment and make a contingency plan before the arrival of the tsunami disaster.

Introduction. Many people believe that there is something predetermined in their life. Fatalism affects people’s adaptation to their diseases in epilepsy as well as in every disease.
Aim. The study was conducted methodologically to determine the fatalism towards epilepsy disease.
Material and Methods. “Information Form” and “Epilepsy Fatalism Scale” were used as data collection tools. With the literature review, a pool was created from the items of the previously developed fatalism scales. After removing the items with low factor load as a result of confirmatory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis was performed again.
The data of the research were collected through social media. Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett test, Principal Component Analysis, and Varimax Rotation were used for exploratory factor analysis in the evaluation of the data. For construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis was performed within the scope of explanatory and structural equation modeling χ², χ²/SD, RMSEA, CFI, IFI compatibility tests were used for Confirmatory Factor analysis.
Results. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the entire scale was found to be 0.768. It was determined with the results of the fit index analysis χ²/SD: 3.736, GFI, 0.922, AGFI 0.909, CFI 0.904, TLI 0.914, RMSEA: 0.062, RMR: 0.041 that the validity of the scale was ensured.
Conclusions. The scale consisted of 10 items and three dimensions. The scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool in evaluating epilepsy fatalism. (JNNN 2023;12(2):63–68)

Full textAbstract:
Nudge presumes that decision-making is guided by intuitive biases and heavily influenced by the environment in which choices are made. However, critics argue that in place of the quick thinking envisaged by nudge behaviour change reflects deeper and broader thought processes. One of these patterns of thinking ‐ fatalism ‐ has been identified across health and allied disciplines as key to explaining the reason why many people ignore authoritative advice. Insights drawn from a critical review of the fatalism literature explain why nudges sometimes fail. While a fatalist mindset seems to make some of us more susceptible to nudges, it prompts others to respond to nudges in surprising and dysfunctional ways.

Full textAbstract:
Digital media has remained problematic during COVID-19 because it has been the source of false and unverified facts. This was particularly evident in the widespread misinformation and confusion regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. Past research suggested infodemics, conspiracy beliefs, and religious fatalism as potential threats to public COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. However, the literature is primarily void of empirical evidence associating demographic attributes with efforts to build vaccine hesitancy. Therefore, this research uses two studies: (Study 1) Google Trends and (Study 2) survey method to provide inclusive empirical insight into public use of digital media during COVID-19 and the detrimental effects of infodemics, conspiracy beliefs, and religious fatalism as they were related to building COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Using Google Trends based on popular keywords the public searched over one year, Study 1 explores public digital media use during COVID-19. Drawing on this exploration, Study 2 used a cross-sectional national representative survey of 2120 adult Pakistanis to describe the influence of potential hazards such as infodemics on public vaccine hesitancy. Study 2 revealed that infodemics, conspiracy beliefs, and religious fatalism predict vaccine hesitancy. In addition, gender moderates the relationship between infodemics and conspiracy beliefs and vaccine hesitancy. This implies that there is a dispositional effect of the infodemics and conspiracy beliefs spread digitally. This study’s findings benefit health and other concerned authorities to help them reduce religious fatalism, vaccine hesitancy, and conspiracy theories with targeted communication campaigns on digital media.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background: Cancer fatalism encompasses beliefs about external causes of cancer and the perceived inability of humans to prevent it. Existing research suggests that individuals with higher levels of cancer fatalism are less likely to engage in cancer prevention behaviors or adhere to cancer screening practices. However, limited information exists regarding the prevalence of cancer fatalism within various Asian origin groups. Understanding whether this prevalence varies by origin group can offer valuable insights for developing strategies to enhance beliefs and knowledge about cancer among these populations, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes. To fill this gap in the literature, we conduct a disaggregated analysis of cancer fatalism among Asian origin groups (Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Vietnamese, and other Asian respondents), using nationally representative samples. Methods: We performed a pooled cross-sectional study utilizing the Health Information National Trend Survey data (HINTS-4 cycle 4 [2014], HINTS-5 cycles 1-3 [2017-2019], and HINTS-6 [2022]), a nationally representative survey administered by the National Cancer Institute. We analyzed respondents’ agreement to two items: “It seems like everything causes cancer”; and “There’s not much you can do to lower your chances of getting cancer.” We used a survey-design adjusted Wald chi-square test for bivariate analyses. Results: The sample included 234 Chinese respondents, 173 Filipino respondents, 185 Indian respondents, 97 Vietnamese respondents, and 222 other Asian respondents (e.g., Korean, Japanese). Significantly lower proportions of Indian respondents (38.9%; 95% CI 26.1 – 51.8%) endorsed the statement “It seems like everything causes cancer,” when compared with Vietnamese respondents (70.4%; 95% CI 54.9% – 86.0%) and Filipino respondents (76.2%; 95% CI 65.1% – 87.4%). Additionally, lower proportions of Indian and Chinese respondents endorsed the statement “There’s not much you can do to lower your chances of getting cancer” when compared with Vietnamese and Filipino respondents, though these differences did not reach statistical significance. Conclusions: Our study represents one of the first efforts to use nationally representative data to explore disaggregated prevalence of cancer fatalism beliefs among Asian American origin groups. Filipino adults exhibit nearly double the prevalence of one of the cancer fatalism beliefs compared to Indian adults. Vietnamese adults also have a high level of cancer fatalism beliefs. These findings highlight the heterogeneity among Asian American origin groups and emphasize the importance of culturally tailored interventions, specifically targeting those groups with higher levels of fatalism beliefs. Data collection that is disaggregated by Asian origin group should be prioritized to gain a comprehensive understanding of these beliefs and design effective interventions.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to reveal the fatalistic work culture process as a cause of poverty for fishermen. As part of an urgent cultural aspect, Fatalism has been an inseparable part of their social life. Fatalism is an attitude that has been a stronghold for a long time and becomes a habit. In this case, the most important thing to express is the belief or trust of fishermen related to the coastal environment. This research took place on the southern coast of the Sulawesi Island, in Pandang-Pandang village, Arungkeke District, Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The informants were 5 poor fishermen from the Sawi (fishing boat crew) who were interviewed in-depth and conducted observation of the surrounding environment. To strengthen research data, Literature studies, interview and observation results were also conducted. Data analysis used three path techniques including data reduction, categorization, and conclusion drawing. This research shows that; (1) The fatalistic attitude of the fishing community of Pandang-Pandang village manifested in the belief that life has been determined by God while humans only live and accept it, (2) Weak instrumental values of the fishing community in the form of not overly pursuing more values at work. Both of these are fatalistic attitudes. The conclusion of this research is the emergence of a fatalistic attitude in the fishing community is the result of their appreciation of God, Nature, Humans, and Life. This appreciation has been going on for a long time so that it is manifested in the form of an attitude of life than becoming an actor.

Full textAbstract:
‘"Hoping against Hope”: A Marxist Study of Capitalist Fatalism in Eugene O’Neill’s Warnings’ presents the problem of a lower-class family, the Knapps, who suffer under the fatalistic capitalist system. The Knapps, as a part of the society, and the society as a whole, become potential victims of the capitalists and the bourgeoisie who work only for their own interests even if on the account of the poor. In such a socio-economic system, human beings are viewed as productive machines and possible consumers. Once they become old or disabled, they will be dismissed and replaced by younger ones. The paper, therefore, aims to analyse and interpret the above-mentioned themes in O’Neill’s Warnings in light of Marxist criticism and class conflicts between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. It is concluded that as long as capitalism is solely based on material benefits and is negligent of humanitarian concerns, disasters befalling the proletariat in particular and the whole society in general will be an inevitable fate. Witnessing the calamities that inflict the lower-class people in the play could alert readers/audience, including the capitalists and the bourgeoisie, to the detrimental consequences of embracing a purely materialistic worldview.

Full textAbstract:
The anthropocentrism of modern linguistics and the inexhaustibility of the meanings of human existence convince us of the relevance of conceptual analysis. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the linguistic-semantic content of the general cultural concept of FATE in the mental structures of consciousness of the carriers of distant Slobozhansky and Boykivsky dialects, and the task was to structure these semantic units and the corresponding linguistic (speech) constructions. The objects of the study were narrative texts (narratives) of dialect speakers, where the motive of human fate is traced (directly or indirectly), and the subject of the study are the semantic components of the concept of FATE in the Ukrainian dialect continuum and their verbalization at the lexical, phraseological, syntagmatic, and syntactic levels. The methodology of the study consisted of a continuous selection of linguistic-semantic components of the concept of FATE from the dialectological material recorded in the summer of 2021 and a semantic analysis of the identified speech structures.In the analyzed narratives, the concept of FATE is represented by denominations that belong to the lexico-semantic groups (LSG) «Expressions about the inevitability of fate», «Expressions about the hardship of female fate», «A statement about the need to change one’s destiny», «A statement about the typical fate of a representative of a certain community in a certain historical period». In the LSG «Statements about the inevitability of fate» we single out speech constructions that fit into semantic models (SM) «the bureaucratic apparatus of a totalitarian state moves a person from his native place against his wishes», «the dependence of life’s fate on a typical life model»; in LSG «Statements about the hardships of a woman’s fate» − SM: «a stepmother (mother-in-law, fatherin-law) interferes in the formation of a young woman’s life destiny», «the fatalism of an unsuccessful marriage for a woman»; in LSG «Statements regarding the need to change one’s fate» − SM: «satisfaction with one’s fate (aspiration for a sustainable life)», «active position in changing one’s fate», «active position in changing the fate of one’s children»; in LSG «Statement about the typical fate of a representative of a certain community in a certain historical period» − SM: «lack of work and decent earnings as a negative factor in life’s fate», «habituation of representatives of another ethnic group to the search for a better fate in the worlds».We see a comparative analysis of the linguistic and semantic components of the concept of FATE in Ukrainian spoken and artistic discourses as a research perspective.

Full textAbstract:
The involvement in theological thought (kalam) during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia can be summarized into three groups. First, fatalism is the understanding of a society that believes that everything in this world is the totality of destiny and is the decree of Allah SWT. The second understanding is free will, believing in a person's freedom to choose between different plans and actions rather than waiting for fate to befall him. The third one is a central axis theology. Religious moderation can be understood as a view, attitude, or action that always takes the middle, fair, and non-extreme path in religion. Religious moderation should be understood as a balanced religious attitude between the practice of one's own religion (exclusive) and respect for the religious practices of other religions (inclusive).

Abstract Background: Asian New York City (NYC) residents have the lowest screening rates by race across cancer type. Past studies indicate heterogeneity within the Asian American population, yet few have examined differences in screening uptake and related factors among Asian ethnic subgroups in NYC. Further, cancer screening knowledge and cancer fatalism have been found to impact cancer screening uptake, and effects vary by race, ethnicity, immigration status, and cancer type. Objective: Our study aimed to examine differences in cancer screening uptake, knowledge, and fatalism among Chinese, Korean, and South Asian NYC adults and to examine the effects of cancer screening knowledge and cancer fatalism on cancer screening uptake. Methods: We used data from NYU Langone Perlmutter Cancer Center’s Cancer Community Health Resources and Needs Assessment survey. The survey was developed and distributed in 10 languages in collaboration with 23 community partners. Data were collected from NYC adults with recruitment strategies focused on immigrant and non-English language preference communities from Oct. 2021 - Dec. 2022. Multivariable logistic and multinomial regression analyses were used to examine differences in breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer (CRC) screening uptake; breast and CRC screening knowledge; and cancer fatalism between Chinese, Korean, and South Asian (Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Asian Indian, and Nepali) adults; and to examine the effects of breast and CRC screening knowledge on breast and CRC screening uptake and cancer fatalism on breast, cervical, and CRC screening uptake (n=1,045). Analyses were restricted by age and sex using United States (U.S.) Preventive Services Task Force guidelines. Results: The sample was 60.0% female with a mean age of 45.7 years; 83.1% of participants were born outside of the U.S., 49.9% of participants were Chinese, 22.8% were Korean, and 27.3% were South Asian. Korean women had 0.52 (95%CI: 0.31, 0.88) times lower odds of Pap test uptake than Chinese women; South Asian adults had 0.44 (95%CI: 0.24, 0.80) times lower odds of CRC screening uptake than Chinese adults. Korean adults had 1.68 (95%CI: 1.17, 2.41) times higher odds of knowing the correct age to begin having mammograms compared to Chinese adults; South Asian adults had 0.66 (95%CI: 0.46, 0.94) times lower odds of knowing the correct age to begin CRC screening compared to Chinese adults. Korean adults had a 0.39 (95%CI: 0.25, 0.63) and 0.22 (95%CI: 0.13, 0.37) times lower odds of some and high cancer fatalism, respectively, compared to Chinese adults. No associations were found between cancer screening knowledge or cancer fatalism and cancer screening uptake. Conclusions: Our study adds to the current literature on the diversity of cancer needs, beliefs, and behaviors among Asian Americans. The findings indicate the need for ethnic-specific cultural tailoring for future cancer screening interventions. Citation Format: Isabel I. Curro, Chloe A.

The article explores the novel "Tragedy of Kolyma" (Kolima kasireti), providing profound insights into the personality of Ibrahim Salakhov. It investigates the promotion of creative works by Tatar-Bashkir intellectuals such as Galymzhan Ibragimov and Majit Ghafuri among the general populace. Ibrahim Salakhov's personage is characterized by critical realism, a literary trend that is evident in the novel. The narrative delves into real events that transpired in the life of the writer, showcasing the influence of social conditions on human behavior. The article analyzes Ibrahim Salakhov's novel "Tragedy of Kolyma”. The objective is to uncover the multifaceted layers of the narrative, shedding light on the author's perspective on the prison environment. A particular emphasis is placed on portraying the distinct lexicon prevalent in the prison setting and illustrating the relentless conflicts between inmates and their custodians. The article strives to provide readers with a nuanced comprehension of the variances in prison life through authentic situations depicted in Salakhov's literary work. The narrative extends to the historical mistreatment and persecution faced by eminent Kazakh and Tatar writers, including figures such as Galymzhan Ibragimov and Kawi Najmi. The article observes the incorporation of memoiristic elements in Salakhov's work shifting focus towards the transformative and innovative personality of Galymzhan Ibragimov, a forward-thinking intellectual of his era. Noteworthy is the frequent use of artistic literary devices such as narratives, digressions, and monologues, which further enrich the narrative style of Salakhov's literary works. Key words: memoir, epistolar heritage, enemy of the people, critical realism.

Full textAbstract:
In book V of City of God, Augustine devotes long reflexions to the Stoic doctrine of Fate and to the issue of compatibility between Providence, Prescience and Freedom. This paper studies howthe reading of the antique debate between Stoics and Neo-academicians about destiny leads Augustine to redefine the concept of divine providence. The first part deals with the way Augustine interprets Stoic fatalism with Christian postulates in mind : destiny is understood as the chain of causes submitted to the will of God almighty. The second part focuses on how Augustine goes beyond the fatalist aporia by redefining the relationship between Divine Providence, prescience, cause and necessity. Divine Providence is a voluntary cause on the top of the causal hierarchy. It gives the other causes the power to actualize their own self-determined will. These theoretical elements are keys to understand the role of Divine Providence in Rome’s history and succession of universal empires.

Abstract. The world is currently enduring an epidemic of COVID-19 which causes suffering and pain. Facing the COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesian people have shown various responses. One pupular respond is theological fatalism, which believe that God has determined everything so that human efforts and actions are not necessary. In connection to this, the question arouse whether Christian theology, especially Christian theodicy, which was represented in this paper by John Calvin and C. S. Lewis, fell into fatalism? To answer this question, the writer would compare of the two theodicies by using a literature research. Through this research, it was concluded that neither John Calvin's theodicy nor C. S Lewis's had fallen into theological fatalism. Both emphasized free will and human responsibility in making choices and actions. The right attitude is to submit to the authority of God's word which commands us to act by doing good to others who are suffering and sick.Abstrak. Dunia saat ini sedang dilanda wabah penyakit COVID-19 yang menyebabkan penderitaan dan kesakitan. Berhadapan dengan pandemi COVID-19, manusia Indonesia menunjukkan berbagai respon. Salah satu yang umum adalah fatalisme teologis yakni kepercayaan bahwa Allah sudah menetapkan segala sesuatu sehingga usaha dan perbuatan manusia tidak membuat perbedaan dan dampak di dalam sejarah kehidupan. Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut muncul pertanyaan apakah teologi Kristen, khususnya teodise Kristen, yang diwakili di dalam paper ini oleh John Calvin dan C. S. Lewis jatuh ke dalam fatalisme? Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut penulis akan membandingkan kedua teodise tersebut dengan menggunakan studi pustaka. Melalui penelitian tersebut disimpulkan bahwa baik teodise John Calvin maupun C. S Lewis tidak jatuh ke dalam fatalisme teologis. Kedua-duanya sama-sama menekankan kehendak bebas dan tanggung jawab manusia di dalam melakukan pilihan dan tindakan. Sikap yang tepat adalah tunduk kepada otoritas firman Tuhan yang memerintahkan kita untuk bertindak dengan berbuat baik kepada sesama yang menderita dan sakit.

The author discusses the concepts like the passivity of writer’s main characters, her conception of femininity and the fatalism which characterize her female characters. The aim of the article is to shed light in Nelly Arcan’s vision and renewal of the contemporary Quebecer literature. Her intimate, provocative, furious and dark novels bring out the deadlock on the women’s thinking nowadays and challenge the achievements of the claims of the feminist movements.

Full textAbstract:
Well-controlled research investigating psychological responses following Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is lacking. In addition, much of the literature is based on depression following SCI and is dominated by data from the USA. The effects of SCI on perceptions of control, self-esteem and coping styles over the first year of SCI were investigated. Forty-one acute spinal injured patients and 41 able-bodied controls matched for age, sex and education completed a variety of standardised questionnaires on three occasions over one year. The instruments included the Locus of Control of Behaviour Scale, Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale, and an adapted Mental Adjustment to Cancer (MAC) Scale which measures coping styles, including fighting spirit, helplessness/hopelessness and fatalism. The SCI group were found to be more external in their perceptions of control, lower in self-esteem, and more helpless/hopeless and fatalistic in attitude than the controls. The majority of the SCI group had scores reflecting adaptive coping styles and intact levels of self-esteem but there were still a substantial proportion who displayed maladaptive coping styles (e.g. external locus of control, fatalism, helplessness). No differences in scores across time were found for either group. Implications for psychological rehabilitation are discussed.

Such a tragic event is seen as a result of intricate reasons: God’s will, the fate, the verdict of the Fates, parents’ ban on the rules, and lack of veneration of the saints, black magic, the evil eye, curse, etc. The amalgamation of Christian views and the pre-Christian perception of early death brings about a combination of notions that seem to be impossible, even more since fatalism comes along with the simultaneous assurance that an early death can be averted with the help of rites and magic acts performed on a newborn baby. Magic programming of a baby’s longevity, which starts with the conception and goes through the delivery and postpartum period, various signs, omens, fortune-telling, and prophetic dreams are scrutinized in the first part of the article. Further on the specifics of the funeral of a baby are analysed, with special attention paid to the magic means to separate the baby from the mother and to prevent the death of other children. The types of commemoration and the obstacles of a baby’s fate in the other world are also investigated in terms of reflecting the behaviour of the deceased child’s relatives. To conclude, the author depicts the stability of some archaic beliefs which one can observe at a child’s funeral, and commemorative practices nowadays.

Full textAbstract:
Humanity is under siege with Covid-19. Whilst the crisis aggravates, the world is also grappling with yet another challenge - a global misinformation conundrum. This arises from the spread of contagious conspiracy theories that obfuscate understanding the pandemic at best. Incidentally, the conspiracy theories have gone as viral as Covid-19 itself, spreading just as swiftly digitally as the virus does physically. The outcome has been a spectrum of attitudinal patterns, ranging from cynicism and skepticism to outright denialism and fatalism. Using a conversational analysis that is predicated on extant literature and personal insights, the paper examines the import of conspiracy theories as a major complication of the Covid- 19 challenge. The paper posits that the theories have produced narratives and attitudinal outcomes that not only misrepresent the pandemic but also complicate its mitigation.

Full textAbstract:
Eileen Chang's novels penetrate abstract concepts with personal concrete insight, and form feelings completely different from historical time and progressive imagination through stagnant Samsara experience, confirming the unique meaning of concrete life and showing the richness and complexity of human nature. On the basis of the previous studies on the novels of Eileen Chang from the perspective of love and marriage, this paper focuses on the Samsara fatalism phenomenon in the novels by means of close reading of the texts. Taking Samsara expereience as a research perspective is an important way to enter Eileen Chang's novels and even modern literature, which lays a profound foundation for us to examine the constance of stable life and the universal of The Times.
