Spelling out the more or less implicit phenomenology found in Peirce’s categories and in the “Basisphänomene” suggested by the late Cassirer, this paper attempts to extend Cassirer’s own suggestion for the grounding of the human, or, as we prefer to say, semiotic, sciences, by means of an elucidation of the components of the basic situation of communication, revised on the basis of the Prague scho

Both Peirce and Husserl suggested that a community of scholars were needed to bring to fruition the work that they had initiated, and both (initially) termed their approach phenomenology, defining it in almost identical terms. The fact that Peirce imposed more constraints on the free variation in imagination, which is one of the principal operations of phenomenology, serves to suggest that Peircea

Background: Malaria is the leading public health problem in Ethiopia.

Introduction: Globally, babies born with low birth weight and preterm accounts for 25 million and 15 million respectively. The magnitude of preterm and low birth weight was 29.1% in Ethiopia by 2011. Around 70% neonatal deaths occur in low birth weight and preterm babies. Most studies demonstrated kangaroo mother care to be more effective than incubator care for these neonates but there are limite

STUDY QUESTION: Do serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) change in women of reproductive age following dietary and surgery-induced weight loss?SUMMARY ANSWER: AMH levels increased after very low-calorie diet (VLCD) before surgery and decreased at 6 and 12 months after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), beyond expected normal age-related decline.WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Obesity has negative effe

During the last decade much progress has been made in reducing malaria transmission in Macha, Southern Province, Zambia. Introduction of artemisinin combination therapies as well as mass screenings of asymptomatic carriers is believed to have contributed the most. When an endemic malaria situation is moving towards a non-endemic situation the resident population loses acquired immunity and therefo

Despite widely acknowledged problems of aggression, presumptions on its constructive and destructive possibilities, aggression still remains scarcely explored phenomenon. The aim of this paper is to propose closer look at the subjective motivation of aggression in women. The study consisted of two stages and embraced 24 participants.

Despite widely acknowledged problems of aggression, presumptions on its constructive and destructive possibilities, its role in psychic health and development, aggression still remains scarcely explored phenomenon. In-depth gender sensitive understanding of aggression might not just broaden our scientific scope, but might also become a vehicle for social as well as personal change. The aim of this

The review of research shows that qualitative analysis of therapeutic experience can significantly deepen and enliven the understanding of psychotherapeutic process. Already accomplished studies identify subjectively important therapeutic changes, reveal how clients experience, recognize and weave the ongoing changes to their self-narratives and life stories. Furthermore, exploring subjective refl

Anger, its development, differentiation, expression and control are important themes in psychotherapy process. Psychotherapists have developed different hypotheses about anger dynamics and have related it to effectiveness of psychotherapy. The study explores a subjective experience of long-term psychotherapy process. Seven women with experience in analytical, psychodynamic or existential therapy p

The aim of this research was to reveal subjectively important changes of anger expression and therapeutic factors. Female clients, who had accomplished their long-term therapy
