QoL in oncological patients is studied intensively. Patients with spine tumors previously had poor prognosis. Modern surgical treatment in patients with spine tumors allows to increase survival rate. Consequently the issue of QoL in patients with spine tumors becomes especially actual. The aim of the study was to reveal basic parameters of QoL in patients with spine tumors before and after surgical treatment. Results: Study participants were 25 patients with spine tumors. The diagnosis was spine metastases from different primary sources. The methods were: VAS and Watkins scales, «SF36 Health Status Survey», Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 of European Organization for Research and Treatment Cancer, Spine Oncology Study Group Outcomes Questionnaire. All patients had pain syndrome before treatment. Pain assessment using VAS and Watkins scales before and after treatment revealed pain reduction as a result of surgery. Patients with spine tumors assess their QoL in general after surgery significantly higher than before treatment. As well patients report increasing QoL after surgery on the parameters of neurological status and pain intensity which corresponds to VAS and Watkins scales assessment. Besides the results revealed improving of QoL in patients with spine tumors after treatment on the parameter of emotional functioning. The diagnosis of patients with spine metastases refers to last stages of the disease. So treatment in these patients in most cases initially aimed at palliative care helps not only reduce pain intensity but also increase their QoL and in this way allow patients have emotionally rich life. Conclusion: Nowadays patients with spine tumors undergo effective surgical treatment which increases their survival rate and significantly improve their QoL. The further research is needed to study psychological factors of QoL in patients with spine tumors in order to make relevant programs of functional, social and psychological rehabilitation for these patients.","PeriodicalId":295945,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Applications and Trends 2019","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124397912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the social construction of romantic relationships in Poland and the US has changed over recent years, the Polish culture with its stronger traditionalist value system may still place a higher premium on having a romantic or marital partner compared to the US. The family unit is also a more central and core element of one’s social network in Poland compared to the US. Associations between loneliness and romantic partner status were tested in 431 US and 395 Polish participants (mean age = 22.92) who completed the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults Short Form (SELSA-S; DiTommaso, Brannen, & Best, 2004). The analyses demonstrated that Polish respondents reported higher loneliness than US respondents, Wilks’ λ = 0.89, F(3,769) = 30.78, p <.001 and single individuals reported higher loneliness than partnered individuals, Wilks’ λ = 0.60, F(3,769) = 169.26, p <.001. There were also significant nationality and relationship status interactions in the domain of family loneliness, F(1,771) = 6.47, p < .01, and in the domain of romantic loneliness, F(1,771) = 71.82, p < .001. More specifically, single Polish participants reported higher family loneliness than Polish partnered participants. American participants reported the exact same level of family loneliness, regardless of their relationship status. In turn, the lack of a romantic partner was more strongly associated with increased romantic loneliness for Polish than for American participants. Although all participants reported increased loneliness when they were without a partner, this effect was particularly exaggerated among Polish participants. At the same time, Polish participants seem to benefit more (in terms of decreased romantic loneliness) than Americans do as a function of having a romantic partner.","PeriodicalId":295945,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Applications and Trends 2019","volume":"293 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132074058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Psychoanalytical theoretical vocabulary became the main source to capture affective dimension of politics by analyzing the texts, images and discourse how various emotions are signified in political speech. Election as a conventional public activity involves different political parties declaring their political values and competing to convince the large groups of population to vote for and follow specific discourses in order to get the majority in elections and win by setting parameters through which desire is produced, regulated and channeled (Kolvraa, 2018). The common knowledge of building the electoral discourses involves construction of image of enemy, evil, that has to carry the guilt for the perpetual postponement of utopia (Zizek, 1990), i.e. fulfillment of the emotional pull of certain political ideas. By Lacan human subject is never integrated into the symbolic world of language and traced by feelings of something loss and driven by the desire to recapture the lost enjoyment. By Glynos (2010), Starvakakis (2007) and Zizek (2005) this framework was used to understand the affective dimensions of ideological discourses. “This means that ideological discourses must produce fantasmatic narratives or scenarios which promise a utopian future of full satisfaction” (Kolvraa, 2018). In narratives like fascism, radical nationalism, Stalinism loss of enjoyment is replaced as a “stolen” by the enemy than contributes to maintain expectation of impossible – “a return to the fullness of jouisance in a utopian society” (Kolvraa, 2018). However the question of enjoyment still remains open in terms of affective dimension of political discourse – how it is achieved by the discourses of regaining of lost or defeating the enemy. We are analyzing the concrete presidential elections in Georgia, former soviet and new democratic country as a multidimensional social phenomenon coming from Stalinist and nationalist authoritarian past straggling to establish democratic institutions, laws and regulations, implementing elections as a main source of democratic governance. The case of last presidential elections is discussed as ambiguous model where discourses of enemy is floating form lost to stolen enjoyment of utopian society","PeriodicalId":295945,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Applications and Trends 2019","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114274132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, it is necessary to apply other research methods in order to identify and understand interpersonal problems and solution processes. In our current research, we used observation to identify student-student and teacher-student problems during a lesson. The study occurred in 2017, when 34 lessons were observed (in all grades except 3 and 4). Among these, 8 took place in lower primary schools (6-10-year-olds), 12 in upper primary schools (10-14-year-olds), 14 in high schools (14-18-year-olds). We carried out the observations using a set of criterias established by our research group based on Chang et al. (2004), Eskin (2012) and Strough & Kenner (2012): the source of the problem, the subject of the problem, time perspective, frequency, organization, attitude, feasibility, problem solving styles and strategies, relationship between the members, behaviour of the teachers. The identified problems (based on age and gender) more or less are the same as we found during previous researches carried out by questionnaires: in lower primary school it is the mockery, and later the physical and verbal aggression which appears to be the main problems of the students. In the case of mockery and verbal aggression it is clear that they want to settle their differences as soon as possible. We experienced both in the questionnaire using researches and this observation, that negative orientation manifests in the verbal expression of inaccessibility. Teachers, except teachers in lower primary school, also have negative orientation towards a problem, and they think of a problem as a distractor, so their aim was the fast, behaviour-focused elimination of the situation. The problem-solving in upper primary and high schools were clearly teacher controlled, they immediately gave instructions to the students how to solve it based on their own consideration. We did not experience any kind of discussions, rethinking or evaluation of the situation among teachers. What we saw pays the attention to effect of the problems to classroom work, and interpersonal problems can influence students subject attitude and learning motivation. In the future, we are going to carry out other observations as well, and also planning to use a questionnaire to analyze as many aspects of problems solving as possible. This way we could get more and more precise data in order to develop a program for students and teachers.","PeriodicalId":295945,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Applications and Trends 2019","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114290605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
