Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we use a corpus of about 100,000 happy moments written by people of different genders, marital statuses, parenthood statuses, and ages to explore the following questions: Are there differences between men and women, married and unmarried individuals, parents and non-parents, and people of different age groups in terms of their causes of happiness and how they express happiness? Can gender, marital status, parenthood status and/or age be predicted from textual data expressing happiness? The first question is tackled in two steps: first, we transform the happy moments into a set of topics, lemmas, part of speech sequences, and dependency relations; then, we use each set as predictors in multi-variable binary and multinomial logistic regressions to rank these predictors in terms of their influence on each outcome variable (gender, marital status, parenthood status and age). For the prediction task, we use character, lexical, grammatical, semantic, and syntactic features in a machine learning document classification approach. The classification algorithms used include logistic regression, gradient boosting, and fastText. Our results show that textual data expressing moments of happiness can be quite beneficial in understanding the “causes of happiness” for different social groups, and that social characteristics like gender, marital status, parenthood status, and, to some extent age, can be successfully predicted form such textual data. This research aims to bring together elements from philosophy and psychology to be examined by computational corpus linguistics methods in a way that promotes the use of Natural Language Processing for the Humanities.

Larson, Reed. "Is Feeling “in Control” Related to Happiness in Daily Life?" Psychological Reports 64, no. 3 (June 1989): 775–84. http://dx.doi.org/10.2466/pr0.1989.64.3.775.
Full textAbstract:
This research concerns the relation of subjective control and happiness within normal daily experience. Respondents from several nonclinical samples rated their feelings of control at randomly-selected moments during a week in their lives, following the procedures of the Experience Sampling Method. Analyses consider the relation of these ratings to similar ratings of affective states, first, within persons and, second, between persons. The within-person analyses show relatively little moment-to-moment correlation of subjective control and affective states. For many persons there is no correlation at all and on the average people report feeling only slightly more happy at times when feeling in control. The between-persons analyses yield findings that are more in line with explanations of subject control, showing that individuals reporting higher average daily control also experience greater average happiness. The results confirm that a generalized sense of control is important to well being in daily life, but for nondisturbed individuals short-term experiences of discontrol are not accompanied by substantial distress.

Full textAbstract:
In this study we are dealing with a new aspect of the problem in discussion that is the pursuing of Happiness, supported by institutions and regulations in the domain, but in moments of disturbances, in moments of crisis. We need to have goals, actions to be accomplished, in order to achieve the desired state of satisfaction or Happiness that anyone can have. We are in the presence of a double determination: the first one is represented by the material, especially money background, influencing the life and activities of households and entities and, the second one is represented by the reverse action that is of Happiness affecting the management and the activities of individuals, households and firms/organizations. The survey of the literature in the field, data from the World Health Organization, from the national authorities, analyses of the specialists in healthcare and economics, reports of the people in difficult health and economic situations are used in order to be able to synthesize the situation at this moment and possible forecasts regarding medical healing and economic recovery of the countries. Nothing is hard to manage, if you have knowledge, required abilities/skills to anticipate challenges or to make fast and right decisions, altogether at Micro and Macro-levels, in the benefit of all parts involved in. The huge interest is to reestablish the economies, mental health of people, i.e. the elements of a functional economic infrastructure.

Full textAbstract:
Slogans have a thousand-year history and have always played a significant role in the life of the Chinese people. Many slogans have become precedent symbols of certain historical eras, not only do they reflect important moments in the country’s political life, but also the linguistic picture of the world. Perceived subconsciously, the content of slogans becomes a guideline for people’s conduct. In slogans you can see traditions and customs of the Chinese, as well as understand the realities of the time in which they appeared, history and culture of the country.Slogans, used by the Chinese leadership to broadcast the main political installations, are one of the means of propaganda. They still remain in China one of the most popular means of disseminating information. Written in different styles, with different content, slogans do not lose their relevance and remain an important element of Chinese culture. At present, when coding of knowledge has to a greater extent a rationalistic basis, slogans play a more significant role.The article considers slogans about happiness in different time periods, which allows you to find out how the Chinese’s perception of happiness was changing in the course of time.

Full textAbstract:
Happiness, life and liberty are central terms in the history of philosophy. At the same time, they belong to the core of Christianity. We find these key terms already in the New Testament and we also find that reflections on these terms have defined their meanings in new ways throughout the centuries. I show the way how the original meanings have gradually changed. In contemporary reflections, we find interesting attempts to reform the traditional meanings, in which the influence of the natural sciences and twentieth century philosophies (such as phenomenology, existentialism, Marxism and post-modernism) have proven to be decisive. Christianity-oriented philosophies in contemporary academia, such as those of Michel Henry or Jean-Luc Marion, offer versions of these thoughts. The main defect of the traditional understandings may be seen simply their isolationist approach, that is to say, their approach to consider these terms as unrelated to one another. My own solution finds the common structure in the reality of revelation and considers life, liberty, and happiness as moments only insufficiently grasped by traditional approaches.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines how fat and disabled subjects may be taught to appear as happy through biopedagogies in order to manage shame and disgust evoked by their unruly, non-conforming bodies. We begin by articulating what we mean by “biopedagogies”. We then unpack how the requirement to be happy feeds directly into a neoliberal agenda, which demands we must take care of ourselves both economically and emotionally in order to be considered good citizens. We explore how, in the midst of the requirement to be happy while living in bodies not recognised as inhabitable, we create and find moments of alterity in/of happiness. Through analysing art by disabled and fat activists and artists, we examine how disabled and fat people find happiness in difference, rather than in spite of it while at the same time, hanging on to rage and dull pain within this alterity of happiness.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors that individuals consider necessary to be happy in their job. Based on these factors, a measure of job design happiness (JDH) is proposed. Design/methodology/approach Two methods were applied: a qualitative study with content analyses (n=969) to develop an exploratory questionnaire; and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis by applying structural equations models. In this second study the questionnaire was sent to a second sample (n=1,079). Findings Five first-order factors were identified: self-fulfillment; group working, attaining goals; leadership; and sustainability and job/family balance. These factors are explained by a second order factor: JDH. Research limitations/implications Further research is needed to determine how the identified “job design happiness” components may interact with one another. Testing the measure of different industries and national cultures is also suggested. Practical implications Managers and human resources practitioners can improve job and organizational performance by applying the scale in several moments in time measuring the job happiness “pulse,” monitoring their decisions. Social implications The adoption of this measure for decision making in organizational and job design can contribute to the improvement of living standards and firm sustainability. Originality/value Research on organizational happiness has been increasing but instruments to measure JDH, considering organizational factors, are limited.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to a comparative study of the binary opposition of the concepts «sadness-joy» in the idiomatic picture of the world of multi-system languages. The author identifies such thematic groups for the implementation of these concepts as «joke», «rejoice», «grieve», «be happy», «be sad, sadness». In the course of the study, a coincidence was found in linguistic cultures in relation to these concepts, when the connection between sadness and joy is emphasized, it is called upon to endure difficult moments of life and not to despair, it is recommended not to make hasty conclusions. A separate group can be combined with proverbs that reveal the attitude of Russians and British to happiness. Based on the material received, several principles can be distinguished that express the attitude towards happiness. First, no one chooses happiness, and in this case, it is understood as «luck, luck» and is given from above. Secondly, happiness, as opposed to the first group of proverbs, is perceived as a category that must be achieved / earned / deserved. Thirdly, proverbs were discovered in which happiness is an important part of the life of stupid people and most often they get it. The author comes to the conclusion that these concepts are universal in all the studied linguocultures, but their implementation, reflected in the plane of the paremiological picture of the world, is specific.

Full textAbstract:
The eighteenth century bears witness to the emergence of a new, politicized notion of “happiness”. Elaborated conceptually by Greek philosophy as a moral concept, “happiness”, the Age of Enlightenment employs the term to identify and articulate a possible nexus between the self-realization of the individual and the virtues and material blessings of peaceful communal life. It is against such a backdrop that the role played by le bonheur in Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s writings becomes fully understandable. Like the author himself, his literary alter egos – Jean-Jacques, Saint-Preux, Emile et al. – share one fundamental drive, “the pursuit of happiness”. While in general Rousseau’s various accounts of these different life projects draw considerable narrative energy from the malheur experienced by their protagonists, they nevertheless contain moments of sublime quality where happiness is experienced as a fulfillment of both spiritual and corporeal nature. Whether happiness is found in the collective joy of a community, in the immediate communication between two lovers, or in the reveries of a solitary wanderer, the experience of happiness becomes the symptom of a way of living that successfully mediates between man’s two conflicting natures, his social and his natural existence. What this article sets out to show is how the idea of happiness as a manifestation of what Rousseau calls le sentiment intérieur is used to explore the possibility of a political order that successfully negotiates the social and the natural, the communal and the individual. Rousseau’s œuvre can thus be read as a systematic investigation into the possibility of establishing a social bond based on affective relations of varying size and complexity: The polis, the family and the individual. My main argument is that there is a clear development in Rousseau’s writing that eventually leads to the renunciation of the political utopism of his early writings to the advantage of a politics of the individual manifest in the old philosopher’s self-elected internal exile.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Throughout a marriage, couples will share countless ordinary moments together, such as laughing together or engaging in leisure activities. Although these moments may seem trivial in isolation, research suggests that accumulating small positive moments together helps couples build emotional capital, which serves as an essential resource for protecting marriages from the harmful consequences of relationship challenges. This study explored whether emotional capital may buffer couples not only from the negative effects of relational stressors, but also from the negative effects of life stressors encountered outside the relationship in a sample of younger (age 30-45) and older (age 60+) married couples. Drawing from theories of socioemotional expertise, we also examined whether the buffering effects of emotional capital may be stronger for older adults. One hundred forty-five couples completed a 21-day daily diary task assessing shared positive experiences with the partner, negative partner behaviors, marital satisfaction, life stress, and mood. Spouses who generally accrued more shared positive moments with their partner across the diary days maintained greater marital satisfaction on days of greater partner negativity compared to spouses who accrued fewer positive moments. Moreover, spouses who generally accrued more shared positive moments with their partner across the diary days also reported lower levels of negative mood on days in which they experienced more life stress compared to spouses who accrued fewer shared positive moments; in both cases, the buffering role of emotional capital was significantly stronger for older adults. All results held when adjusting for relationship length and general marital happiness.

Fdormer Boston Celtics player and coach Bill Russell wrote, “People in all kinds of cultures are known to ‘jump for joy’ in moments of supreme happiness. Jumping is an internationally recognized expression of joy, and basketball is a sport organized around jumping.…It's possible for a player to jump because he's happy, but it's more likely that he's happy because he's jumping. I have heard players complain about almost every detail of the game — the rules, the size or color of the ball, the shape or temperature of the dressing room — but I've never heard anybody complain about the fact that the game requires jumping.”

ABSTRACTYoung women who live in the improvised urban spaces on the outskirts of Senegal's capital city, Dakar, extemporize their respectability in a time of fiscal uncertainty through personal photography. The neighbourhood of Khar Yalla is an improvised, interconnected and multilayered space settled by families removed from the city centre during clean-up campaigns from the 1960s to the 1970s, by families escaping conflict in Casamance and Guinea-Bissau, and by recent rural migrants. As much as Khar Yalla is an improvised neighbourhood, it is also a space of improvisation. When women pose for, display, and pass around portraits of themselves at key moments in their social life, whether in the medium of social networking sites or photo albums, they reveal as much as they conceal the elements of individual and social life. They index their social networks and constitute their urban space not as peripheral, but as central to the lives and imaginations of their siblings and spouses who live abroad. Photographs actively shape and construct urban spaces, which are often loud, unruly and fraught spaces with vast inequalities and incommensurabilities. How women deal with economic and social disparity, within their own families, communities, and globally, is the subject of this article.

It is not their fault that reasonable game laws and a flexible licensing system does not exist. Access restrictions directed at this group are counter productive, since they penalize nonconsumptive users, thereby leading to poor public relations. Key words: Wildlife management.

Although very famous, some key moments of the novel In Search of Lost Time, such as those of the madeleine or the uneven pavement, often remain enigmatic for the reader. Our article attempts to formulate a possible philosophical interpretation of the narrator's experiences during these scenes, through a confrontation of the Proustian text with the ideas found in the System of Transcendental Idealism (1800) of the German philosopher F. W. J. Schelling. We thus try to highlight the essential role of the self in Marcel Proust's aesthetic thinking, by showing that the mysterious happiness felt by the narrator, and from which the project of creating a work of art is ultimately born, is similar to the experiences of pure self-consciousness evoked and analyzed by Schellingian philosophy of art.

Full textAbstract:
Abdelwahab Elmessiri’s intellectual journey narrates the story of modern ideologies that have led to the marginalization of divine revelation, giving rise to materialistic worldviews that promise their adherents progress, happiness, and freedom. Elmessiri, however, introduced a critical sociology that underlines the dark side of modernity, stressing that modernity has transformed humankind into a bundle of biological functions, economic needs, contractual relationships, instincts, and sexual drives. The end of utopian ideologies and the rise of globalization have radicalized the situation, which Elmessiri refers to as ‘comprehensive secularism.’ Against this background, Elmessiri experienced many moments of illumination, culminating in his advocacy of an ‘Islamic humanism’ that sees human life as complex phenomenon permeated with secrets, dualities, and diversities. This review, however, argues that Elmessiri’s Islamic humanism is ironically based on humanist Marxism and Western critical sociology.

Parents of disabled children not only deal with raising a child but also with their disability. The whole family experiences various implications as their lives are strongly affected by the disability. Undeniably, the whole life depends on a disability, which forces parents to redefine the family life and give it a new meaning. The conducted research was located in the stream of constructivist and interpretative research. The attempt of meeting and understanding the world the parents preserve in their memories allowed togain ‘genuine’ knowledge about a family with a chronically ill child. Told narrations present difficult parenthood and everyday problems that a family must deal with. Parents’ biographies concern not only weaknesses which they have to face fighting for normal life for their children but also show determination in their constant struggle in everyday life. Everyday life is very complex for them. Thus, the reality that the separents create is full of both negative and positive emotions, moments of happiness, love and mutual respect.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractDuring 1947 and 1948, Thea Astley's life changed in ways that permanently affected her writing. In August 1947, she obtained a transfer to Imbil State School, west of Noosa. In November she re-sat failed University of Queensland exams in economics and history, and graduated with a BA in the following April. In January 1948, Astley took up a secondary teaching post at Pomona Rural High. On 27 August, she married Jack Gregson at the Gympie Registry Office. She transferred to Brisbane for the remainder of 1948, and early in the New Year moved with her husband to Sydney. This article contrasts poetry about love and place that Astley wrote during these transition years with the themes and tone of her novel, A Descant for Gossips, published in 1960 and set in Pomona (‘Gungee’) and its environs. Dedicated ‘To John’, Astley's love poems display a passionate lyricism and a commitment that, though usually nervous and conditional, encompasses moments of settled happiness and clarity. In Descant, by contrast, moments of fulfilment in the love affair of teachers Helen Striebel and Robert Moller are suffused with guilt. Similarly, Astley's youthful response in her poetry to the beauty of the ranges and the coast collapses a decade later in Descant into a dystopic rendition of Gungee as a town that punishes defiance and crucifies difference. The article concludes by speculating about causes for the transformation.

Full textAbstract:
The importance of understanding gender, space and mobility as co-constructed in public space has been emphasized by feminist researchers (Massey 2005, Hanson 2010). And within feminist theory materiality, affect and emotions has been described as central for experienced subjectivity (Ahmed 2012). Music listening while moving through public space has previously been studied as a way of creating a private auditory bubble for the individual (Bull 2000, Cahir & Werner 2013) and in this article feminist theory on emotion (Ahmed 2010) and space (Massey 2005) is employed in order to understand mobile music streaming. More specifically it discusses what can happen when mobile media technology is used to listen to music in public space and investigates interconnectedness of bodies, music, technology and space. The article is based on autoethnographic material of mobile music streaming in public and concludes that a forward movement shaped by happiness is a desired result of mobile music streaming. The valuing of ‘forward’ is critically examined from the point of feminist theory and the failed music listening moments are also discussed in terms of emotion and space.

The author of “The Seed” Mr.Jon Gordon says work or life balance is a myth. He explained in detail that he realized“the waves between work and life is more about rhythm than balance”. Finding the purpose and happiness in life and work. Nature’s idea of balance seems to be about rhythm, not parity, not seeking balance. There can be highs and lows and we do not have to struggle to make everything “balanced”. We all have those moments during the day when we need to speed up or when we need to slow down and chill and keep your rhythm. Find your rhythm. Instead of trying to slow down when you are in a rush and speed up when you feel sluggish, let us just go with the flow of things. Instead of life balance, we should focus on “Priority, Time, Purpose and then Passion”. In this paper, we suggest that rhythmicity is a key effect of priority and technology.We always look for change and we live in the world of continuous change, we should accept this to lead a satisfying life.

In the moments when all call center operators are busy, the system puts that call on hold, regardless of its urgency. This research aims to improve the functionality of call centers by recognition of call urgency and redistribution of calls in a queue. It could be beneficial for call centers giving health care support for elderly people and emergency call centers. The proposed recognition of call urgency and consequent call ranking and redistribution is based on emotion recognition in speech, giving greater priority to calls featuring emotions such as fear, anger and sadness, and less priority to calls featuring neutral speech and happiness. Experimental results, obtained in a simulated call center, show a significant reduction in waiting time for calls estimated as more urgent, especially the calls featuring the emotions of fear and anger.

Nowadays more often people are asking about the meaning of life. It is a fundamental question that every human being faces. Man is asking whether life is worth living, what to do to make our life meaningful?A human being, among many needs, has the need for discovering the sense of life, the need comes from the very core of human existence as placed in time and connected with the phenomenon of passing away. Discovering the sense of life leads to the experience of happiness, joy, and to inner life lived much more to the full. Showing the meaning of life and helping to find that meaning are very important functions of religion. Due to it, a man is able to live one’s life, ambitions, goals, joyful moments as well as his or her suffering in the light of deeper understanding. Religion is the one that can often bring the richest and deepest answers to the question of the two meanings: the meaning of life and the world.

Objective. To explore the psychosocial problems faced by the parents of children with cerebral palsy (CP) in rural and urban settings. Design. Qualitative research design using focus group discussions (FGDs) was used for the study. Setting. Two FGDs comprising one at a rural tertiary level care hospital and the other at an urban tertiary level care hospital were conducted. Participants. A total of thirteen parents participated in the two FGDs. Main Outcome Measured. Psychosocial problems experienced by the parents of children suffering from CP were measured. Results. The problems experienced by the mothers were associated with common themes such as disturbed social relationships, health problems, financial problems, moments of happiness, worries about future of the child, need for more support services, and lack of adequate number of trained physiotherapists. All the parents had children with problems since birth and most had approached various health care providers for a cure for their child. Conclusions. A wide range of psychosocial problems are experienced by the parents of children with CP. Studies like this can provide valuable information for designing a family centered care programme for children with CP.

Full textAbstract:
The article considers some specific artistic features of Alexander Ostrovsky’s play “It's Not All Shrovetide for the Cat”. Special attention is paid to the character of the conflict and to the peculiarities of the drama action development. In this connection some new things in the poetics and the system of personages are underlined, and this refutes the existing critical opinion that Alexander Ostrovsky repeats himself in his themes and images, that the play manifests the recline of the playwright’s talent. First and foremost, the article pays attention to the fact how the play reflects the Russian mode of life, morals and manners after the Serfdom Abolition reform when freedom of thought is displayed by common uneducated people who are striving for their human happiness. Comic situations in the scenes from Moscow life “It's Not All Shrovetide for the Cat” as well as in other Alexander Ostrovsky’s plays go with uneasy, dramatic in their essence moments and the combination is absolutely organic. The article points to the play’s pronounced theatricality and also to the role of those personages who do not appear on the stage directly but act in the situations which happen beyond the stage limits.

pedagogical, psychological factors, which influence on the process of values formation and development. It has been figured out the definition of “value”, which is usually considered as importance, significance or usefulness for a personality, society or ethnic group. It has been stated that values formation for a person happens in hard conditions in comparison with social norms and values. Such factor causes contradiction and, perhaps, strong and notable conflicts. In modern students youth environment, high common to all mankind values are diminished and lost; they are namely, kindness, honour, humanity, sincerity, justice, and compassion for other people. Sometimes students youth prefers not spiritual moments of human-being, but the values of material welfare forgetting that the best and most important in life, such as love, smile, family, happiness, can be obtained free of charge. It has been singled out the mental manifestations of spirituality, among which there are development, religiosity, creativity, search, and love. It has been presented here the sociological researches of value orientations among students’ youth of the last decade. These researches convince that the certain personality type has been forming in the consciousness of modern youth. This type is common for the Western society that is a person who first of all values themselves and thinks that their activity, success in life and all of this depend on them. It has been studied that, from a psychological point of view, value orientations are a special meaningful value and sense dimension, which characterizes the subject as a personality. It has been revealed that mass media strongly influences the formation of youth value orientations, considering that mass media occupies the leading positions in the system of communications of the individual in the modern society. According to the conducted study of values and views of young people, the main priorities in life, for most of them, are family happiness and career. Of the lower priority among youth preferences there are the opportunity to be free and independent in their decisions and actions and to be able to realize their talents and abilities. Young people living in urban areas, compared to rural youth, say mostly about their family-oriented happiness, their intentions to make a career and to be able to realize their talents and abilities. As a result of the study, it has been found out that the values of modern youth are significantly influenced by the environment, in which the individual resides and the place of residence. This all defines his opportunities and, accordingly, values orientations.

Full textAbstract:
It is well established that individuals who engage in more positive social interactions report a broad array of benefit relative to those with fewer positive social interactions. Yet less is known about how, within individuals, naturally occurring social interactions in daily life relate to momentary indicators of health (e.g., mood, psychological, and physiological stress). The current study used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to examine these within-person relationships, as well as complementary between-person relationships, among 115 adults (75% female; Mage = 41.21). Participants completed six EMA surveys per day for 3 days to report on whether they experienced any social interactions and whether the interactions were pleasant as well as on their mood, pain, tiredness, interest, and perceived stress; they also provided a salivary cortisol sample after each EMA survey. Multilevel modeling analyses showed that individuals felt more happiness and interest, and less sadness, tiredness, and pain, during moments when they were engaged in a social interaction versus when they were not. Individuals also reported less stress during more pleasant versus less pleasant social interactions. When examining between-person effects, we found evidence that people who gave more pleasant interactions generally reported more positive outcomes. This study presents evidence for intraindividual links between social interactions and momentary health indicators in daily life.

Full textAbstract:
The Elementary Christian Living teachers of the School of Saint Anthony conducted a survey among their pupils regarding the factors that make them happy. The purpose of this research is to bring awareness regarding the things that Elementary pupils value in life leading them to happiness. This will also serve as a glimpse of pupils’ values and to determine the factors that will motivate them in their everyday lives. The following results were derived from the study’s findings: Grade one pupils are happy when they are with their families and when they play toys and gadgets. Grade two pupils, on the other hand, are happy with their family, friends, toys, and gadgets. Moreover, Grade three pupils enjoy being with their family and friends, and with new toys and gifts. As for the grade four pupils, they enjoy bonding with their families and friends, when they eat their favorite food and when they see their teachers. Furthermore, Grade five pupils love their families and are happy with new gadgets and toys. They are also happy when they play with their pets and friends. Lastly, the family serves as an important factor that makes the grade 6 pupils happy. Friends, gadgets, high grades and praying to God are the other encouraging factors of the grade 6 pupils’ gladness. Findings reveal family as the top consistent factor that makes the Elementary pupils happy. They enjoyed the different activities and experiences they had with their family members. Toys and new gadgets were also consistent factors that make the lower school pupils happy. Relationships with friends, on the other hand, serves as an important factor that inspires the Middle School pupils to be happy. Among Filipinos, across time, the family remains as the source of happiness among children. This research recommends the parents to be more reflective of the moments they spend with their children and to be more sensitive to their interests and needs. This research implies the impact of families on their children’s emotional development and the deep significant marks they leave in the lives of their children.

ABSTRACTSome older adults handle the pitfalls of ageing better than others. One explanation emerges from the concept of resilience, the ability to bounce back from the adversities of later life. In this study, we approached resilience from the narrative perspective. This study is a part of a project based on the DIPEx qualitative methodology, focused on different aspects of ageing. A combination of narrative and semi-structured interviews was conducted with 50 older adults (aged 75 and over). From the total number of interviews, a sub-group of 11 resilient participants was selected on the basis of the criteria set for resilience: (a) past exposure to adversity; and (b) positive adaptation to this adversity in terms of quality of life, happiness and activity. The results of the analysis are presented in the framework of five categories: (a) thematic lines, (b) agency and positioning; (c) values and beliefs; (d) reflections and perspectives; and (e) plot and genre. Both agency and reflections point to actively resisting old age as an important characteristic of resilient older adults in the Czech Republic. This resistance is often allied with irony, but we have also found genres of heroic coping and affirmation of lucky moments. Key thematic lines were love of life, emphasis on the importance of movement and positive social relationships; key values expressed by the participants were relational, existential and spiritual.

Full textAbstract:
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a severe incurable neurological disorder. It is mostly characterized by non-motor symptoms like fatigue, dementia, anxiety, speech and communication problems, depression, and so on. Electroencephalography (EEG) play a key role in the detection of the true emotional state of a person. Various studies have been proposed for the detection of emotional impairment in PD using filtering, Fourier transforms, wavelet transforms, and non-linear methods. However, these methods require a selection of basis and are confined in terms of accuracy. In this paper, tunable Q wavelet transform (TQWT) is proposed for the classification of emotions in PD and normal controls (NC). EEG signals of six emotional states namely happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise, and disgust are studied. Power, entropy, and statistical moments based features are elicited from the highpass and lowpass sub-bands of TQWT. Six features selected by statistical analysis are classified with a k-nearest neighbor, probabilistic neural network, random forest, decision tree, and extreme learning machine. Three performance measures are obtained, maximum mean accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 96.16%, 97.59%, and 88.51% for NC and 93.88%, 96.33%, and 81.67% for PD are achieved with a probabilistic neural network. The proposed method proved to be very effective such that it classifies emotions in PD and could be used as a potential tool for diagnosing emotional impairment in hospitals.

ABSTRACT Objectives: The human being is living in times when extreme individuality and self feelings are overvalued and praised. Each day self promotion is increasingly sought by the individual. Through Instagram, for example, pictures are posted in order to achieve a greater number of likes. Through the social media, love, desire, happiness and individual feelings are publicly shown. In the new capitalistic wealth accumulation logic, corporations like Facebook, Google, among others, are constantly capturing such individual moments to be traded off for profits, and no one is noticing, or if someone is noticing, is not aware that is all constantly watched. This article intends to review how these new controlling technologies can be prejudicial to workers. Methodology: The methodology used is dialogical deductive, through bibliographic research for construction and development of research, having as main thinkers Michel Focault, Zygmunt Bauman and Jeremy Bentham. Results: One of the conclusions of the author is that in a surveillance environment by the employer, there will only be a power relation, when the employee is able to act as an active person – both in accepting and subverting his role – before such surveillance. In the contrary, it will not be a power relation but rather a mere coercion relation. And if there is not a power exercise, there is not an exercise of liberty either. Contributions: The article seeks the reader's attention on the extraction of surplus value, which today seems not only to be the surplus of the workforce, but also the happiness and subjectivity of the worker. As a contribution, the author highlights the new invasive surveillance of the employer as well as the shadow side of the marketing and unnecessary consumption to enrich companies to the detriment of individuals. The employer, seeking greater productivity and profit and due to the advancement of new technologies, controls his worker, either inside or outside the workplace. The worker, therefore, without the right to disconnect, is constantly monitored during the workday and also in his moments of rest.KEYWORDS: Controlling of the work force; discipline; social media; private lives; The Bentham system; Labor law. RESUMO Objetivos: Vivem-se tempos de valorização da subjetividade do eu. Cada dia mais busca-se uma autoafirmação. Por meio do Instagram, por exemplo, fotos são postadas com a pretensão de ganhar os famosos likes. Através das redes sociais, demonstram-se afetos, desejos, prazeres, felicidades, subjetividades. Paralelamente, na nova lógica de acumulação capitalista, empresas como Instagram, Facebook, Google, entre outras, estão constantemente capturando essas subjetividades em troca de lucro e não se percebe, ou se percebe e não se toma consciência, que todos são constantemente vigiados. Este artigo pretende analisar como esse controle acentuado por essa nova lógica de acumulação pode prejudicar o trabalhador. Metodologia: A metodologia utilizada é dedutiva dialógica, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica para construção e desenvolvimento da pesquisa, tomando-se como principais pensadores Michel Focault, Zygmunt Bauman e Jeremy Bentham. Resultados: Uma das conclusões do autor é que, em um ambiente de vigilância por parte do empregador, haverá apenas uma relação de poder, quando o empregado puder atuar como uma pessoa ativa - tanto na aceitação quanto na subversão de seu papel - antes dessa vigilância. Pelo contrário, não será uma relação de poder, mas uma mera relação de coerção. E se não há um exercício de poder, também não há um exercício de liberdade. Contribuições: O artigo busca a atenção do leitor sobre a extração da mais valia, que, hoje, não parecer ser apenas o excedente da força de trabalho, mas também a felicidade e a subjetividade do trabalhador. Como contribuição, o autor destaca a nova vigilância invasiva do empregador, bem como o lado sombrio do marketing e do consumo desnecessário para enriquecer as empresas em detrimento das pessoas. O empregador, buscando maior produtividade e lucro e devido ao avanço das novas tecnologias, controla seu trabalhador, seja dentro do trabalho ou fora dele. O trabalhador, portanto, sem direito à desconexão, encontra-se constantemente monitorado durante a jornada de trabalho e também em seus momentos de descanso. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Vigilância; controle; disciplina; redes sociais; vida privada; Panóptico de Bentham; Direito do Trabalho.

Poulston, Jill M. "An interesting insight into hospitality work." Hospitality Insights 2, no. 1 (June 18, 2018): 13–14. http://dx.doi.org/10.24135/hi.v2i1.17.
Full textAbstract:
Turnover is such a persistent characteristic of the hospitality industry, it has the qualities of a legend. The Lawson Williams Staff Turnover Report [1] recently calculated turnover in the hospitality and fast food industry as 41.7%, the highest of any industry surveyed. Such high turnover set against a constant stream of willing newcomers to the industry warrants investigation. This study therefore examined not so much the nature of the industry, but more the act of hospitality in terms of motives and rewards.
The study interviewed 12 people in Auckland, including some who had never worked in commercial hospitality, to provide an insight into giving hospitality at home. Participants were asked to reflect on their reasons for serving others and their interpretations of hospitality and service, and encouraged to describe the emotions they felt in the moment of giving hospitality.
Rewards for giving hospitality were directly related to the pleasure received by guests:
It’s the best, being able to look after people.
I liked the look of happiness on people’s faces.
I enjoyed spoiling customers.
It’s a reward, pleasure, out of making people happy. You take people on a journey and make them feel better. You can create amazing moments for people.
Some participants experienced the frustration of being unable to give pleasure, either because guests were difficult, or for reasons seemingly beyond their control:
I didn’t like serving people who didn’t know how to have a good time.
When I can’t give good service, I don’t like it.
Paid hospitality work was described as “emotionally draining” but was also part of the identity of some participants: “It’s what I do – it’s who I am.” Results showed that, really, hospitality work is a labour of love and a form of self-expression that can bring happiness through serving others, which of course means the workers are vulnerable to exploitation. This passion to serve and bring pleasure was experienced in an environment that brought both pain and pleasure, expressed with metaphors such as “a love-hate relationship” and “marriage and war”.
The main implications arising from this study largely relate to the pleasure of providing good service. Recommendations therefore include the need for managers to recognise the desire to provide excellent service, so this can be facilitated, rather than impeded by faulty products, maintenance issues, under-staffing, and other irritating problems that frustrate employees. It is also suggested that supervisors and managers reflect on their own desire to serve and take up service opportunities as they arise, rewarding themselves with positive experiences of human contact, rather than getting lost in administration and crisis management. Most are experienced in front-line work and were probably attracted to the industry by the same desire to provide pleasure that this study’s participants expressed. It is therefore important to continue to express this, and help others express it, as part of the effort to reduce turnover by improving work satisfaction.

Resumen. En este trabajo realizo un recorrido a la inversa desde las películas La Belle Personne (Christophe Honoré, 2008), Fish Tank (Andrea Arnold, 2009) y The Diary of a Teenage Girl (Marielle Heller, 2015), hasta llegar a su germen: Lolita (1955), novela escrita por Vladimir Nabokov y adaptada a la gran pantalla por Stanley Kubrick en 1962. A partir de esta conexión, analizo los aspectos definitorios de esta nueva poslolita, enmarcando el personaje en un viaje narrativo concreto y un discurso feminista consciente. El viaje consta de tres momentos clave: una primera toma de contacto, el encuentro sexual y la liberación de la situación de opresión. En cuanto al discurso feminista, este revisa la figura de las poslolitas como objeto de deseo, además de la relación con el adulto y la iniciación sexual de las jóvenes. Estas tres películas suponen la reinterpretación del mito que Kubrick crea en su filme. Asimismo, esta nueva lectura del lolitismo se entiende a partir de la apropiación femenina de un discurso que ha sido explotado casi en exclusivo por hombres. Esto, sumado a la manifestación de no depender de la figura masculina para alcanzar la felicidad, hacen de The Diary of a Teenage Girl la máxima expresión de esta nueva poslolita. Palabras clave: Feminismo, cine, indie, Lolita, Nabokov. Abstract. La Belle Personne (Christophe Honoré, 2008), Fish Tank (Andrea Arnold, 2009) and The Diary of a Teenager (Marielle Heller, 2015), up to its germ: Lolita (1955), a novel written by Vladimir Nabokov and adapted to the great screen by Stanley Kubrick in 1962. From this connection, I analyze the final aspects of this new postlolita, framing the character in a concrete narrative journey and a conscious feminist discourse. The trip consists of three key moments: a first contact, the sexual encounter and the liberation from the situation of oppression. As for the feminist discourse, it reviews the figure of the postlitas as an object of desire, in addition to the relationship with the adult and the sexual initiation of young people. These three movies suppose the reinterpretation of the myth that Kubrick creates in his film. Also, this new reading of lolistism refers to the feminine appropriation of a discourse that has been exploited almost exclusively by men. This, added to the manifestation of not depending on the male figure to achieve happiness make The Diary of a teenager the ultimate expression of this new postlolita. Keywords: Feminism, film, indie, Lolita, Nabokov.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the recycling of Soviet images in the works of Vladislav Mamyshev-Monroe from 1987–2006. In his multidisciplinary work, Vladislav Mamyshev (1969–2013),an artist, writer, actor, professor of the original genre department of the New Academy of Fine Arts, repeatedly reproduced images from Soviet cinema and pop culture. In the make-up of Marilyn Monroe, he performed Soviet songs at concerts and in video clips. He portrayed Alla Pugacheva, Lenin and Krupskaya, an episode of Stierlitz meeting with his wife from the movie Seventeen Moments of Spring in performances and photo portraits. Mamyshev also wrote several philosophical treatises on the Russian and Soviet mentality and history. Mamyshev’s existential performance, associated with ancient practices of holy foolishness and parrhesia, is considered in the dynamics of post-Soviet history. In 1990, in remakes of Politburo portraits, he transformed the Soviet gerontocrats into the beauties of world cinema, “correcting the karma” of the Soviet regime. In a Pirate Television report on August 19, 1991, Mamyshev opposed the abolition of Gorbachev’s reforms. In the early 1990s, he put forward the idea of a fabulous folklore matrix of the Russian and Soviet unconscious and noted the beginning of the contamination of Russian and Soviet history in the post-Soviet consciousness. In the late 1990s, Mamyshev in the image of Lyubov Orlova explored the complex of Soviet ideas about perfection, which have both a mobilizing and deadening socio-cultural impact. Representing Soviet images, Mamyshev focuses on their totalitarian state message and at the same time their reflection in the individual consciousness, aimed at finding ideal love and happiness, showing the inevitable tragic break in the functional connection between Soviet ideology and Russian reality.

The purpose of this paper can be resumed as the attempt to, in a first moment, delineate the manner through which, according to Pascal, we access the world – and here there is already the presuppositional thesis that there is effectively at least one way to access the world as the world that it is -, in what conditions that access is made, both relating to the subject and the milieu in which the subject finds himself (that is, taking into account the conditioning world, as well as the limitations which are inherent to a subject that is rooted in the world), and, finally, to inquire the possibility – and, if the possibility is affirmed, to investigate if there is such thing as a necessity – of modifying the way of being in the world, in view of replenishing the profound abyss that exists in a will eager of attaining happiness.
