The “Child ↔ Adult” Relationship Terminology in the Tale of “The Little Gold Key or the Adventures of Burattino” by Alexei Tolstoy in French and Vietnamese
Lo-Cicero, Minh Ha
2016 - English
The fairy tale “The Adventures of Pinocchio” (1883) by Italian author Carlo Collodi is well known all over the world. However, there is another story for young readers adapted from “The Adventures of Pinocchio” published in 1936, and that is “The Little Gold Key or the Adventures of Burattino” by Russian writer Alexei Tolstoy. In Tolstoyʼs book, the name of Pinocchio is changed to “Burattino”, literally “wooden puppet” in Italian. As Alexei Tolstoy emphasized in “Preface” (1936), his tale was inspired by the story of Pinocchio, but “as the book (“The Adventures of Pinocchio”) got lost”, he told “each time a different story, inventing such adventures that did not exist in the original text.” “The Little Gold Key or the Adventures of Burattino” by Alexei Tolstoy, serves as the main corpus for our study on “child ↔ adult” relationship terminology expressing different positions of “partners”, such as the “inferior ↔ superior” relationship in French and Vietnamese – two entirely opposite language categories. Kinship and social relations are very hierarchical in the Asian peoplesʼ culture and traditions, such as the Vietnamese. Translating relationship expressions or terminology from French, a language which is very limited regarding personal pronouns or substitute pronouns, into Vietnamese is therefore a big challenge for translators. Keywords: child (inferior) & adult (superior) relationship terminology; French / Vietnamese; The Little Gold Key or the Adventures of Burattino (Tolstoy); translation; linguistics and interculture; hierarchy; substitute pronouns Available in digital repository of UPCE.

Adamakidou, Theodoula; Athanasopoulou, Maria; Kalokairinos, Charalambos; Kalokairinou, Athina
2016 - English
Introduction and Aim: The purpose of study was to investigate the self-care defi cit of cancer patients receiving outpatient health care in Greece based on Orem’s Self-Care defi cit Nursing Theory. Methods: The sample consisted of 113 patients from home care unit and outpatient unit from 2 public oncology hospitals in Athens. The questionnaire developed by researchers based on modes of intervention according to Orem’s nursing theory which are acting or doing for others, guiding physical and psychological support, maintaining an appropriate environment and teaching. The questionnaire had dichotomy answers. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS using student‘s t-test analysis and statistical signifi cance level was set to p < 0.05. Results: The 61.9% (n = 70) of sample were female, 36.3% were aged more than 70 years, while 66.3% (n = 75) were patients of day care unit. Functional status was 39.8% stage ECOG 1. Home Care’s patients focused support needs for self-care in reporting issues such as information about the treatment (p = 0.021), economic issues (p = 0.000), and practical issues such as supply of medicine (p = 0.01), rights and insurance coverage (p = 0.000). Day care unit patients had greater self-care ability, focus on meeting emotional needs such as respect (p = 0.000), attention and care by the family (p = 0.010) and teaching for changes in the environment (p = 0.028), skills development for handling O2 (p = 0.014), lymphedema care (p = 0.045) and caring for wounds (p = 0.013). Conclusions: Awareness of patients self-care different needs by nurses, could guide the careprovided, in the context of individualized and holistic approach for greatest satisfaction.

Mental health risk, safety, and the lost soul
Buckingham, Christopher; Adams, Ann; Ahmed, Abu
2016 - English
Introduction: People’s lives depend on mental-health problems being recognised at an early stage so that risks such as suicide and harm to others can be detected and appropriately managed. This was the motivation for the GRiST web-based decision support system. It was developed to bring mental-health expertise into the community so that people can detect risks even if they do not have specialist mental-health training themselves. Methods: The research started in 2002 using a mixture of methods, including interviews, thematic analysis represented by mind maps, focus groups, and action research, all realised within the evolving GRiST software. Results: The GRiST web version was adopted in earnest from 2010. It has now accumulated nearly one million risk assessments from practitioners in specialist mental-health services. The latest research has reached out to people in the community by providing a new self-assessment version, myGRaCE. People can use myGRaCE to help understand their own mental health problems, find out where the main issues and risks reside, and create a comprehensive report that helps them receive appropriate support. Conclusions: The paper describes the development of GRiST and how it has tried to shift the focus from organisations to the individual. Pressure to constrain risk evaluation to include only risk-specific symptoms has been resisted because the prevailing context and long-term causes are all fundamental to detecting and managing risks. The whole person has to be understood: body and soul. Keywords: decision support; GRiST; mental health; myGRaCE; risk assessment Available in digital repository of UPCE.

Youth subculture as interaction of youth and society
Likhachova, Sviatlana
2014 - English
Based on the results of a sociological study in the Mogilev Region, the state and development of youth subculture as a social phenomenon are considered. The reasons for involvement in subcultural associations, sources of information about them, the positive and negative effects of participation in youth subcultures are analyzed. In modern society, we have a situation of subcultural pluralism when society is a set of co-existing ethnic, professional, religious, territorial and youth subcultures, each of which has its own view of the world, including its own system of norms and values, attitudes, beliefs and interests. The study of youth subcultures gives usa deeper understanding of young people's subjectivity. Traditionally, young people are considered as a social resource of society, the object of socialization adopting the experience of older generations. However, some approaches pay attention to the process of integration into society through conflict. It allows youth to present values that do not coincide with the dominant culture. Keywords: youth subculture; subcultural trends; values and attitudes; non-formal group of youth; socialization; adaptation; integration to the society; norms; deviant behavior of youth Available in digital repository of UPCE.

Killing jokes - Hašek’s and Kafka’s reception in Hungarian literature
Horváth, Csaba
2014 - English
Despite the fact that Hašek and Kafka lived in the same city, in the same era, and despite the influence each exercised on the course of European literature in the 20th century, reception of their works has gone in absolutely opposite directions. The lecture has two goals: the first is to show the parallel characteristics of the two authors; the second is to elaborate on how these two writers are incorporated into Hungarian literature: Hašek is considered as a representative of Czech humor; Kafka is seen as a writer of a prophetical influence on history. Keywords: Hašek; Kafka; irony; translation; comedy; Eastern European sense of humor; Wittgenstein; linguistic determinism; ironie; übersetzung; komödie; ost-europäischer humor; linguistischer determinismus Available in digital repository of UPCE.
