The study was focused on understanding emotional and spiritual intelligence, and leadership linkages. The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between emotional and spiritual intelligence and self-leadership skills of university students in the fields of management, as potential future leaders. The data were collected using three scales: Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS), Spiritual Intelligence Inventory (SISRI-24), and Self-Leadership questionnaire. The study was conducted among 190 university students. The results obtained show that there are connections between emotional and spiritual intelligence and self-leadership. The study may be a good starting point for further research in this field and lead to reflection about spiritual knowledge on the leadership education program.

Mental Health Access

This study investigates mental health, access to treatment, suicidality, and bullying among Pakistani university students. Data were collected from a sample of 355 university students in Pakistan. For reference, we compared these data to a sample previously collected from German and Chinese students. Results indicated relatively poorer mental health and access to mental health treatments among the Pakistani sample, including a higher rate of recent suicidal ideation and bullying. Acknowledgment of these issues in Pakistani culture would be a good starting point to work on developing solutions to enhance the overall mental health of Pakistani students.

Mikhail Bakhtin's work on Dostoevsky is well known. Less familiar, perhaps, is Bakhtin's attitude toward the other great Russian nineteenth-century novelist, Leo Tolstoy. This essay explores that “Tolstoy connection,” both as a means for interrogating Bakhtin's analytic categories and as a focus for evaluating the larger tradition of “Tolstoy versus Dostoevsky.” Bakhtin is not a particularly good reader of Tolstoy. But he does make provocative use of the familiar binary model to pursue his most insistent concerns: monologism versus dialogism, the relationship of authors to their characters, the role of death in literature and life, and the concept of the self. Bakhtin's comments on these two novelists serve as a good starting point for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the Bakhtinian model in general and suggest ways one might recast the dialogue between Tolstoy and Dostoevsky on somewhat different, more productive ground.

The Relationship

This article examines the relationship of material text (text of the document) and paratext in light of fourteenth to sixteenth century evidence. Despite the wealth of interest generated by paratexts and paratextuality in recent years, especially in the fields of literary studies, book history, and translation studies, theoretical approaches to paratexts and paratextuality remain scarce. The paratextual status of an element is typically determined by its function, in combination with its distance from the material text: elements within the codex which do not share space with the text are part of the paratext. Less studied, however, is the gray area of elements which are located within the codex and share the space with the text. We examine this border between text and paratext through an analysis of late medieval and early modern initials, typeface, script and notes. While the form and function of the element are a good starting point, we propose that gauging the optionality of the element, in relation to the abstract text of the work and the material text of the document, is a better indicator of its paratextual status. Optionality should therefore be taken into consideration as evidence of a type of contemporary paratextual understanding.

In this paper I will argue that artificial moral agents (AMAs) are a fitting subject of intercultural information ethics because of the impact they may have on the relationship between information rich and information poor countries. I will give a limiting definition of AMAs first, and discuss two different types of AMAs with different implications from an intercultural perspective. While AMAs following preset rules might raise con-cerns about digital imperialism, AMAs being able to adjust to their user‘s behavior will lead us to the question what makes an AMA ?moral?? I will argue that this question does present a good starting point for an inter-cultural dialogue which might be helpful to overcome the notion of Africa as a mere victim.

This paper is aimed at elucidating the interrelations between reporting on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and integrated thinking. A review of online information on sustainability by port community companies in Antwerp, Belgium was applied. The research made use of a database from Port Plus investigating 769 companies. The data were analyzed using a combination of descriptive and inferential analyses. The research shows that reporting on the SDGs and integrated thinking have reciprocal reinforcing relationships, where the SDGs are a good starting point for planning integrated strategies for sustainability. The article reinforces that using the SDGs in communication and reporting can help companies better and more holistically integrate their efforts for sustainability into their strategies and processes.

The article attempts to analyze the relationship between Renе Descartes and Jean-Louis Guez de Balzac. The study focuses on one of the most amazing episodes of 17th-century French literature, when philosophers, following Descartes, were transitioning to the use of the vernacular, while writers, including de Balzac, were experimenting with new forms of expression, favouring the epistolary genre, among other things. The episode is even more significant because it begins with a young Descartes’ little known reflections on de Balzac’sLetters[Lettres]: published in 1624, the latter provoked one of the century’s most vociferous public disputes. At the same time, the notes provide a good starting point for discussion of a highly controversial topic of the philosopher’s legacy, namely, his ties with 17th-century intellectual libertinism, epitomized by de Balzac, as well as his hostile opponent, the preeminent French poet Thеophile de Viau. The study mainly suggests that, despite certain differences, the philosopher tends to share the two authors’ views of the greatness and freedom of the human self.

- This study aims to analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence and resistance to change. Two hundred thirteen university students (mean age = 24.41, SD = 2.61) were administered the Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) and the Resistance to Change Scale (RCS). It emerged that the Appraisal and expression of emotions dimension on the EIS is a better inverse predictor both of the Routine seeking dimension and the Emotional reaction to imposed change dimension on the RCS. These results provide a more in-depth look at the relationship between emotional intelligence and resistance to change within an Italian context, defining new areas for future research and intervention.Keywords: emotional intelligence, resistance to change, Italian context.Parole chiave: intelligenze emotiva, resistenza al cambiamento, contesto italiano.

This research aims to study the relationship between emotional intelligence and self-confidence and to understand the effects of gender (male-female) and specialization (scientific-humanities) on emotional intelligence and self-confidence. The sample of the study consisted of 450 students from the University of Tizi-Ouzou in Algeria.  The study used two scales: the emotional intelligence scale and the self-confidence scale. After analyzing the data, the results revealed that there is a statistically significant correlation between emotional intelligence and self-confidence. There are also statistically significant differences between males and females in emotional intelligence in favor of females. Furthermore, there are statistically significant differences between males and females in self-confidence in favor of males. It also revealed that there are no statistically significant differences in emotional intelligence between students specializing in the sciences and those specializing in the humanities.  However, there are statistically significant differences in the self-confidence between students specializing in the sciences and those in the humanity specialties in favor of scientific students.
