SummaryThis paper looks at the relationship between fiction and psychiatry. Specifically, the idea of psychiatrists as fiction writers is explored, and reference is made to various fictional texts to illustrate the problems of stigma and negative imagery. These two main areas of focus are highlighted as ones that the practice of writing fiction might address, and some potential pitfalls are discussed. The paper suggests how psychiatrists might ameliorate the present problems by incorporating their unique clinical skills and knowledge into fictional narratives.Declaration of interestNone.

The Relationship

Contrary to the French school of comparative literature, according to which it is merely possible to compare the two written texts in terms of conditions, in the American approach, the adaptation of literary texts to various arts, including cinema, is possible, which leads to a better understanding of literature. Since novels and films have many similarities, they are in many respects similar to each other, and two genres are considered analogous.These commons provide a good ground for discussing a movie from the perspective of a new literary theory and critique, and allow us to use the concepts and terminology we normally know as a tool for discussing the novel to critically explore the structure and art and the themes of the film. On the other hand, in recent years, the term "postmodernism" has been widely criticized about the novel in our country, and many new fiction writers also have a fascination with postmodern style fiction. Therefore, in this research, first, reviewing the views of some of the most important postmodern literature scholars, nineteen techniques used in postmodern novels are explored, and their qualitative method of applying them to Naser al-Dinshah film actor have been investigated.The results of the study show the relationship between literature and cinema (as a visual text) and the ability to compare the two written and visual texts; as many techniques used in the writing of postmodern novels are also with a high frequency have been used in the studied film

The role of implications in Australian constitutional law has long been debated. Jeffrey Goldsworthy has argued in a series of influential publications that legitimate constitutional implications must be derived in some way from authorial intentions. I call this the intentionalist model of constitutional implications. The intentionalist model has yielded a sceptical response to several recent High Court decisions, including the ruling in Roach v Electoral Commissioner that the Constitution enshrines an implied conditional guarantee of universal franchise. This article outlines an alternative way of thinking about constitutional implications, which I call the narrative model. I argue that at least some constitutional implications are best understood as arising from historically extended narratives about the relationship of the constitutional text to wider social practices and institutions. The article begins by discussing the limitations of the intentionalist model. It then considers the role of descriptive and normative implications in both factual and fictional narratives, before applying this analysis to the Australian Constitution. I argue that the narrative model offers a plausible basis for the High Court’s reasoning in Roach v Electoral Commissioner.

The Way

The Swedish writer Per Olof Sundman (1922-1992) wrote mostly short stories and novels, but also reportages. The paper deals with two reportages from the Lofoten islands, Människor vid hav (1966, “People by the sea”) and Lofoten, sommar (1973, “Lofoten, summer”) The choice of the Lofoten islands as a subject is related to a fascination Sundman felt towards northern and arctic regions, a fascination he also expressed in a number of fictional narratives and in the documentary novel Ingenjör Andrées luftfärd (1967. English title: The Flight of the Eagle) A question that arises almost immediately is whether that fascination affects the way the reporter works and how it affects it. How does Sundman look at the Lofoten? What does he take notice of and tell us about? What kind of image does he give? And how does he understand his own role, his function as an investigator in an environment which is neither his own nor his postulated readers’ usual environment? Another question deals with the relationship between the reportages from the Lofoten and the author’s other works. Are the reportages easy to recognize as Sundmanian texts, can Sundman’s “signature” be traced in them? It appears that “People by the sea” and “Lofoten, summer” are not merely informative texts. They also to a rather high degree suggest an atmosphere, using among other things inherited representations and judgements to that purpose. Those reportages turn out to be strongly literary texts, in the traditional meaning of the word.

Background and Purpose: This study’s purpose was to psychometrically evaluate the revised Clinical Skills Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES). Self-efficacy is a predictor of an individual’s behavior in situations such as learning to implement a new clinical nursing skill. Methods: Subjects were nursing students (N = 214). The CSES, an investigator-developed instrument designed to measure nursing students’ perceptions of their self-efficacy as it relates to selected clinical skills, was used to measure clinical skills self-efficacy. The instrument consisted of 9 clinical skills. Results: There was evidence from 2 prior pilot studies both supporting the CSES’s reliability and validity. Conclusions: Self-efficacy may be one way to explain the relationship between clinical skills instruction and the successful enactment of these clinical skills.

AbstractThe essay discusses grammatical and narratological issues of first-person plural (“we”) narratives. It elaborates on the repercussions of Uri Margolin's argument (1996, 2000) regarding the semantic instability of the pronoun “we”, a feature that remains general and abstract in his formulation. Everyday language tends to conceal this instability, whereas some fictional narratives accentuate it, thereby actualizing the subversive potential of the first-person-plural pronoun and highlighting the relationship of the individual “I” to the “we” group and the relationship of this group to “others”. Like second-person narratives, first-person-plural narratives may transgress the boundary between the virtual and the actual and point to the absence of necessary connection between the grammatical form and its deictic function. The essay also proposes a distinction between plural and dual fictional narratives: due to their deictic properties, plural “we” narratives are frequently more destabilizing than dual “we” narratives, which are not characterized by semantic fluidity.

Introduction:Medicine is one of the most important areas of higher education. It is important that undergraduate students are well educated and have theoretical knowledge, but also have good clinical skills after graduating from medical training.Aim:To understand whether the training objectives of the emergency medical internship was completed or not and to find the relationship between young doctors’ self-confidence and what they can do via using Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES). In addition, an objective was to consider which learning methods are more useful based on the feedback.Methods:This survey study was performed in 2018 at Bulent Ecevit University, Faculty of Medicine, Zonguldak, Turkey with the students who completed an emergency department rotation in the 2017-2018 education term. The questionnaire was composed by the researchers. It consisted of three parts which were included demographic information and education methods in emergency medicine of internships, questions about knowledge goals and learning goals for basic medicine applications, and RSES to assess young doctors’ self-confidence.Results:96 young doctors with the mean age of 25.22 ± 1.216 years(minimum 23 and maximum 30 years) were in the study5. 3 (55.2%) of which were female. All young doctors were evaluated with RSES4. (4.2%) of which were low self-confidence and 32 (33.3%) of which were high self-confidence. The best useful learning methods were clinical application of interaction with patients (n=828. 5%) and invasive procedures performed on patients (n=727. 5%).Discussion:The more you practice, the more you learn. Practice-based education is an important factor in a young doctor’s life. Besides, the higher self-confidence you have, the more you can. Young doctors with high self-esteem see themselves as qualified to perform applications even in complicated situations. However, more studies are needed to find out whether they could really perform or not.
