Academic literature on the topic 'Fear Phobos (The Greek word)'

The origin of the word agoraphobia is greek word agora = squere and phobos = fear; fear of public places, streets and squares as well as separation of safety situations and people. Behaviour therapy belongs in “covering” psychoterapy which is primarly interested in actual behaviour of patient in the broadest sence of that word, from the very beginnings of the motoric and autonomous behaviour, along with private thoughts, feelings and events, till freely expressed behaviour which is available to external observation. The basis for neurosa is not entering in the situation of fear and passive avoide reaction which expresses agoraphobia.The material: Patient J.D. 27 years old, second marriage, mother of one, sales menager, fear from independent moving lasts for 6 months. The origin of the fear is traumatic, and the basis are marriage conflicts-weather stay in marriage or to divorce for the second time (two undesirable goals).Type of perssonality: Anxious.The treatment: Behavioural therapy analysis, systematic desensivation in vivo, therapeutics was achieved; independently mobile in duration of 1 hour (depression as the second phenomenon has disappeared, anxiety as the leading one is reduced to minimum)

During the time of the coronavirus, strict prevention policies, social distancing, and limited contact with others were enforced in Greece. As a result, Twitter and other social media became an important place of interaction, and conversation became online. The aim of this study is to examine Twitter discussions around COVID-19 in Greece. Twitter was chosen because of the critical role it played during the global health crisis. Tweets were recorded over four time periods. NodeXL Pro was used to identify word pairs, create semantic networks, and analyze them. A lexicon-based sentiment analysis was also performed. The main topics of conversation were extracted. “New cases” are heavily discussed throughout, showing fear of transmission of the virus in the community. Mood analysis showed fluctuations in mood over time. Positive emotions weakened and negative emotions increased. Fear is the dominant sentiment. Timely knowledge of people’s sentiment can be valuable for government agencies to develop efficient strategies to better manage the situation and use efficient communication guidelines in Twitter to disseminate accurate, reliable information and control panic.

The portrayal of women as ‘Deviant’ has an elongated history. Even the world’s foremost religions and traditions dealing with spirituality often projected women as “uncontrollable.” In literature woman suffering from hysteria have been an engrossing subject. Hysteria as a female condition refers to emotional excess such as fear or panic. The term comes from the Greek word ‘hysterikos’, which means “of the womb.” It was originally seen as a neurotic condition associated with women.

The term Dysphagia originates from a Greek word meaning disordered eating. It is defined as difficulty in swallowing. Dysphagia should not be confused with globus senstation, a feeling of having a lump in the throat, which is unrelated to swallowing and occurs without impaired transit (see below). Although odynophagia (painful swallowing) and phagophobia (fear of swallowing) are symptoms that may be associated with dysphagia it is important to distinguish this in the history…

English shame and German scham derive from the Gothic schama, ‘to hide, cover, conceal’. German Hemd (shirt) and English and French chemise are other derivatives. In some languages the word for ‘shame’ and the word for ‘wound’ are the same. A wound exposes and can thereby advertise vulnerabilty and a cause for shame. Hiding or covering may seek to guard against wounding, humiliating exposure. Shame is self-evidently an important human emotion. Insofar as animals are innocent of shame, experience of it is a mark of humanity. Much human behaviour is influenced by fear of shame and embarrassment. Living in the face and eyes, shame is very close to the experienced self. Self-image and self-esteem are heavily determined by one's susceptibility to shame. Experience of shame is impossible without a sense of individuation, without a sense of discreteness from the world and of being an object in the eyes of another. Study of shame sensitivity therefore offers many clues to an individual's or a culture's behaviour, sense of identity and relationship to the environment.

This article discusses the significant roles of the innkeeper and the inn (pandocheion) in the parable of the Good Samaritan and how contemporary Christians can use the story to construct an open ecclesiology in the midst of global fear of others. The idea of open ecclesiology requires a rethinking of the classical marks of the church as one, holy, catholic, and apostolic in the light of the new marks: diverse, vulnerable, concrete, and friendly. By tracing the root of pondok in Indonesian language back to the Arabic word funduq and the Greek word pandocheion in the Gospel of Luke, the author demonstrates rich intercultural and interreligious negotiations that encourage Indonesian Christians to reclaim their heritage from their Muslim counterparts. The article concludes with the story of GKI Yasmin as a diaclesial and open church that passes-through or crosses-over boundaries amidst violence.

The article explores phraseological units with the somatic component “heart”, which serve to denote emotions, psychological states and feelings in the Ancient Greek language of the classical age. The authors analyze the meaning of the verbs, used in the structure of the somatic phraseological units and compound metaphors with the somatic word “heart”. It is determined that more than hundred somatic phraseological units with the component καρδία / κραδίη / κῆρ “heart” are used in Greek tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides and 62 units of them serve to denote emotions, psychological states and feelings. It is revealed that somatic phraseological units with the component “heart”, which denote negative emotions and feelings, are predominant in the language of Greek tragedies. In particular, these emotions and feelings are sadness, sorrow, fear, anger, annoyance, irritation, malice, mental pain, despair and depression. The sphere of positive emotions, such as joy, exaltation, satisfaction, calmness and pacification, represented by the language material show the correlation of 15 % to 85 % with the phraseological units of negative meaning. It is found out that the meaning of verbs, used as a part of the phraseological unit, refer to physical action, which is committed over the heart, particularly harm, violence and abuse, physical pain, fast or slow heart rate, cold or hot feelings. In the phraseological units, which denote depression and despair, verbs indicate causing physical injuries of heart, for example, θλίβω “squeeze”,“compress”, δάκνω “bite”, μαστιγόω “slash”, ἐκτήκω “melt”. The verbs, used in the phraseological units with the meaning of fear, indicate changes of heart’s temperature and its pace, for instance ζωπυρέω “flare up”, ὀρχέομαι “dance”. Mental anxiety is verbalized via the cognitive metaphor “heart – water”, therefore waves arise in an alarmed heart or heart rages from an inevitable cycle. The results of the research confirm the thesis that the ancient Greek culture is a “culture of the heart”.

The word “euphemism” comes from the Greek, eu--means “good”, and –pheme-, “speech” or “saying”, and together it means literally “to speak with good words or in a pleasant manner”. Euphemism, as a cultural phenomenon as well as a linguistic concept, has attracted people’s attention for a long time. It has long been a topic of much interest. In every society there are certain things that are supposed to be unspeakable. Many words make someone embarrassed, unhappy, dislike or fear when used in communication. If we express the meaning directly, we will make such impression which is vulgar, frivolous, and impolite. In order to avoid the embarrassment or ease the sting of harsh words, man has created euphemisms.

BACKGROUND Universally every woman faces menopause and feeling of onset of uncomfortable physical, psychological and emotional changes. Many fear about their loss of beauty and sexual life. The word menopause has come from Greek word “Menos” meaning menstruation and “Pause” meaning stopping of the menstrual period. 1 The loss of ovarian follicular activity or the dwindling function of ovaries at the end of reproductive life which leads to permanent cessation of menstruation is known as menopause or climacteric. The period of time when women passes from reproductive to non–reproductive stage is menopause transition. The life after menopause is the stage of postmenopausal period. In majority of women, menopause occurs without any physical or psychological symptoms. But in some of the women there will be marked physical and psychological symptoms. Symptoms of the climacteric are multiple and vague. These climacteric symptoms are due to decrease in oestrogen level and increase in Gonadotrophin level in the body, but the exact mechanism is unknown. The climacteric symptoms are grouped into vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes, night sweats), cardiovascular symptoms and cerebro-vascular effects (hypertension, palpitation, heart disease), neurological & psychological symptoms (anxiety, depression, insomnia, irritability, malaise, loss of libido / lethargy), general symptoms (fatigue, headache, general weakness, vertigo, breast tenderness, skin pigmentation, dyspareunia, indigestion or constipation, obesity), physical symptoms / changes (atrophy of secondary sexual characters, atrophy of internal genital organs, osteoporosis, skin becomes thick and coarse, straggling growth of hair).2 KEY WORDS Flax Seed, Climacteric Symptoms, Menopause

If the Old Testament preacher Koheleth could justly complain that "of the making of many books there is no end," then how much more reason do we have to complain now, some twenty-two centuries later! There are times when we fear that the snowballing "information overload" may be the downfall of civilization. Fortunately there is a counterforce to information overload: theory construction. A good theory compacts a vast body of facts into a few words or equations. For example, before Gregor Mendel published his theory of heredity, some 8,000 pages of scholarly discussion had been produced on the subject. All these documents became useless upon the publication of Mendel's forty-page paper. Today, more than a century later, we can condense Mendel's findings into a single page. The literature on human population growth is enormous. Blessedly, most of it can be safely ignored. A handful of principles enable us to incorporate the meaning of a great mass of data in a few images. The most important of these derive from "control theory," a development of the middle of the twentieth century. A careful reading of Malthus's Essay shows that control theory is implicit in his exposition. In 1948 the mathematician Norbert Weiner published Cybernetics: or, Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine. This book briefly summarized and greatly extended a diffuse literature on the subject, introducing language that made it possible to talk more effectively about change and resistance to change. Wiener, the son of a classics scholar, derived the name of the science from a Greek word for "governor." Cybernetics deals with the logic of the mechanisms that govern the equilibrating functions of complex machines and animals. The thermostat is a convenient example. In A of Figure 11 -1 we see the graph of the temperature of a thermostated room: an irregular line fluctuating about the set point, the temperature reading at which someone has set the thermostat. As usual, time is oriented on the horizontal axis. Part B displays a collapsed time diagram of the same data: both possible excursions away from the set point are shown as alternate possibilities of the same moment in time. The "closed" nature of the resulting figure symbolizes the restriction of temperature within limits when a thermostat is in control.
