« La fuite » dont il est question s’inscrit dans l’optique d’Henri Laborit. Il s’agit de fuir dans le monde de l’imaginaire dans lequel on peut se tailler un vaste territoire gratifiant dans un contexte anxiogène. La fuite dans l’imaginaire apparaît par conséquent comme un mécanisme heureux d’évitement de l’aliénation environnementale, sociologique. Le lien que Laborit établit entre la fuite et le bien-être est manifeste dans Les Soleils des indépendances d’Ahmadou Kourouma. Cette œuvre, à l’étude, illustre cette théorie. Elle est le lieu de l’expression de « l’éloge de la fuite » à l’examen de la posture de deux personnages : Salimata et Fama à travers le déploiement de ce que nous appelons « l’imaginé-tranquillisant » que cette réflexion explicite. The “escape” in question is in line with Henri Laborit’s point of view. It’s about escaping into the world of the imagination in which one can carve out a vast and rewarding territory in an anxiety-provoking context. Escaping into the imaginary world therefore appears to be a happy mechanism for avoiding environment and sociological alienation. The link that Laborit establishes between escape and well-being is manifested in Les Soleils des indépendances of Ahmadou Kourouma. This novel, under study, illustrates this theory. It’s the place for the expression of the “eulogy of escape” to the analysis of the posture of two characters: Salimata and Fama through the deployment of what we call the “imagined-tranquilizing” that makes this reflection explicit . « La fuite » dont il est question s’inscrit dans l’optique d’Henri Laborit.

Entrepreneurship has become one of the vital activities for economic development. It is synonymous with job creation, innovation, improvement in the societal well-being and economic growth in developed and developing countries alike. There is great interest in entrepreneurship globally as well as in Malaysia. Over the past few years, many individuals, as well as families, are actively engaged with the small business. Also, in light of the 2013 GEM study, 12.7% of Americans are effectively occupied with beginning a business or are the proprietor/director of a business that is under three years of age. Simultaneously, the Halal industry, that represents the global Islamic economy, is the fastest-growing market in the world with $2.3 trillion market value. Halal entrepreneurs (Halalpreneurs) are the major contributors to this achievement as they constitute a significant portion of the total establishment in most of the Muslim countries. That is the reason Entrepreneurship has turned into a conventional term that depicts a wide range of practices that include being innovative, devilish and tricky. Entrepreneurship has been defined by many scholars, researchers, industry players, and academicians globally which have also been perceived in the same way by most of the economies around the world. However, the Islamic economy looks at the concept of ‘entrepreneurship’ in a different way and perceives it as ‘Halalpreneurship’. To define entrepreneurship in the halal industry, although, the term ‘Halalpreneurship’ is being used, surprisingly the term has not been defined properly yet. It is essential for the Muslim entrepreneurs to have a proper understanding of Halalpreneurship from Maqasid-al-Shariah perspective. Such point of view is crucial to justify the term in the Halal industry and differentiate from conventional entrepreneurs. On this context, this paper provides concept and definition of Halalpreneurship justifying from the perspective of Maqasid-al-Sharia’h. It also identifies the differences between Halalpreneurs and entrepreneurs using secondary resources available in the forms of literature, research papers, journal papers, articles, conference papers, online publications, etc. The findings of the study will clarify the concept of Halalpreneurship from Maqasid-al-Sharia’h perspective and recognize Halalpreneurs distinguished from conventional entrepreneurs.

Il concetto di prevenzione si è imposto sempre più nel panorama medico, divenendo elemento centrale della pratica clinica. In andrologia ciò significa sottolineare l’importanza di ridurre le cause di sterilità o disfunzioni nella sfera sessuale, spesso prima che la stessa funzione sessuale abbia inizio. In tale ambito l’intervento avviene su più livelli, comprendendo il singolo, la coppia e l’ambiente. La prevenzione, dunque, è un fondamentale elemento in grado di ridurre l’incidenza della sterilità da causa maschile. La definizione dell’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità indica primariamente come la salute sessuale sia un complesso stato di benessere fisico, emozionale, mentale e sociale, connesso alla sessualità, e non soltanto l’assenza di disfunzioni, malattie o infermità. Occorre, allora, riconsiderare il concetto di prevenzione alla luce di tale visione olistica e personalista della sessualità, sia nell’approccio alla sterilità di coppia, favorendo una maturazione verso una più completa visione della genitorialità e della fecondità, che nel processo di sviluppo dell’identità sessuale, favorendo la maturazione di una personalità autonoma ed aperta alla comunicazione con l’altro. ---------- The concept of prevention become more and more important in the pratical medicine. In andrology it means to reduce the causes of sterility or dysfunctions in the sexual sphere, often before that the same sexual function begins. Within the prevention, the intervention happens on more levels, including the single one, the couple and the background. The prevention, therefore, is fundamental element that can reduce the incidence of sterility from male factor. The definition of the World Health Organization indicates that the sexual health is a complex state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality and not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity. It is then necessary to reconsider the prevention under an olistic and personalistic point of view, both in couple sterility, favouring a maturation towards a more complete vision of the being parents and the fecundity, and in the process of development of the sexual identity, promoting the maturation of an autonomous personality open to the communication with the others.

Moral Point Of View

In this essay, I sketch five complementary arenas of concern are set forth as candidates for a cogent contemporary theory of paideia. First, a searching, goal setting form of reflection is central to paideia today even as it was in Hellenistic times. A second contributor to paideia is critical reflection. But, third, reasoning is also connected to embodied activity through feeling. Thus, sensitivity to existential meaning helps people determine what they really want and believe, and it also joins them to the persons, things, and events that matter most to them. Fourth, use of the moral point of view safeguards individuals against wallowing in mere self-indulgence heedless of the welfare of others or of the world as a whole. Finally, only by being open to the complex challenges of the world can a person be receptive to the mysterious dimension of life and discern ultimate priorities. I claim that persons guiding themselves by the five-leveled notion of paideia articulated here will again experience the power of philosophy to confer well-being upon themselves and the world.

A deeper understanding of wellness tourism management is possible by analyzing ‘well-being' from a more holistic perspective. “What is the reason for ‘well-being' to become such an emerging need in people's lives?” That is the question to respond to design a more sustainable and innovative managerial style in the wellness tourism sector. Holistic point of view considers the health of people in mutual interaction with its socio-economic and natural environment. For the managers with short-term and profit-based perspective, this sustainable managerial objective may seem difficult to grasp. However, multiple ways exist to create an improved vision of wellness tourism management beneficial for all stakeholders including the clientele, the employees, and the professionals of the wellness tourism sector. The theoretical and practical information on the spa resorts around the world are analyzed to reach the suggestions for improving wellness tourism management. Finally, an interview with an awarded wellness tourism manager supports the perspective of the chapter.

All over the world, more and more professionals are aware of the urgent need to invest in a healthy and ecological built environment. This landmark shift can occur through the introduction of the principles of salutogenic design, according to which the constructed buildings should be a place that contributes to the saving and improving health, a sense of well-being. The amazing results of the influence of the built environment on health are obtained, which brings the concept of salutogenic design to the fore of the global opportunities of urban planning in providing the health of the population. Salutogenic design and architecture can take its worthy place in the forefront of preventive strategies that have the potential to reduce (decrease) the burden of noncommunicable diseases and change our lives for the better. The review considers the principles and approaches to planning urbanized built environment of the future from the perspective of salutogenic design with one simple goal: to create a healthy society. The solution of this problem requires an interdisciplinary and interagency approach, joint efforts of a number of specialists: architects, medical experts, psychologists, sociologists, designers, engineers, planners. Only a comprehensive approach will make it possible to organize the urban environment in such a way that it allows to preserve health, ecology and would be beneficial from an economic point of view.

The article considers the main language universals realizing the concept of “justice” in the Russian language picture of the world, which forms the basic component of the concept of “guardianship.” This concept realizes the idea of guardianship in the linguistic consciousness of the Russian people as a social protection for the disadvantaged part of the population. The purpose of the study is to determine the internal content of the concept of “justice,” functioning in the Russian linguaculture and being the nuclear unit of the conceptual field of “guardianship.” The object of description is the concept of “justice” in the structure of the conceptual field of “guardianship.” The methodological part of the paper is based on the dialectical connection of the past with the present and the application of the conceptual apparatus, which has been formed both in the Historical and in Social Sciences: Sociology, Philosophy, Political Science, and Linguistics. An interdisciplinary method was used, including historiographical and ideographic methods, linguistic and linguacultural analysis, which together allowed the presentation of a systematic description of an axiologically significant socio-linguistic phenomenon; an introspective method on the basis of which the basic way of presenting information reflected in the scientific works of Russian scientists is based on the principle of free interpretation of the material. The authors conclude that the linguacultural core of the linguistic picture of the world consists of concepts that are verbalized in the mind of the individual and form conceptual fields with thematic content in it. A special role in didactic purposes is played by the concept of “guardianship,” occupying a special place in the linguistic picture of the world of the Russian people, as it reveals the features of the social structure in the system of the rule of law. From the linguistic and cultural point of view, the concept of “guardianship,” as a form of manifestation of charity in the Russian conceptosphere “spirituality”, reflects the idea of social and legal protection being based, first of all, on the idea of moral justice. Linguistic analysis revealed the transformation of the internal content of the word-concept “justice” in the Russian linguistic culture. Justice as an absolute virtue, correlated with the idea of universal well-being, co-exists in society in three forms, namely moral, legal, and political.

AbstractCurrently, the world faces a shift to an older population. For the first time in the history, now most people can expect to live into their 60s and beyond. Within this trend of people living longer, many grow very old; 80, 90 and 100 years. Today, 125 million people are 80 years or older; the proportion of ≥80 years increases the most. Age is not an illness, still most chronically ill are older people. Consequently, all countries in the world face major challenges to ensure that their health and social systems are ready to make the most of this demographic shift. Globally, finding new and effective ways to improve people’s health is crucial. Thus, in the years to come, health promotive initiatives will become ever more important. Accordingly, learning how to reorient the health care sector in a health promotion direction is highly needed. The salutogenic approach seems useful for such a reorientation.Salutogenesis is a resource-oriented theoretical approach which focuses on the origin of health along with people’s abilities and capacities for well-functioning and well-being. Salutogenesis is an area of knowledge and learning, a way of relating to others, and a way of working in a health-promoting manner. From the salutogenic point of view, health is a movement on a continuum between ease and dis-ease. In this approach, no one is categorized as healthy or diseased; we are all somewhere between the imaginary poles of total wellness and total illness.This chapter, as well as this book, comprehend the salutogenic health theory as a model of health and a life orientation, representing a vital theoretical basis for the health promotion field. Accordingly, this chapter presents some important points in the development of the health promotion field, followed by the core principles and strategies of health promotion and the promising potential of the salutogenic health theory.

The aim of this research was the reconstruction of the system of categories through which Russians perceive the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Europe, and the world as a whole; to study the implicit model of the geopolitical space; to analyze the stereotypes in the perception of different countries and the superposition of mental geopolitical representations onto the geographic map. The techniques of psychosemantics by Petrenko, originating in the semantic differential of Osgood and Kelly's “repertory grids,” were used as working tools. Multidimensional semantic spaces act as operational models of the structures of consciousness, and the positions of countries in multidimensional space reflect the geopolitical stereotypes of respondents about these countries. Because of the transformation of geopolitical reality representations in mass consciousness, the commonly used classification of countries as socialist, capitalist, and developing is being replaced by other structures. Four invariant factors of the countries' descriptions were identified. They are connected with Economic and Political Well-being, Military Might, Friendliness toward Russia, and Spirituality and the Level of Culture. It seems that the structure has not been explained in adequate detail and is not clearly realized by the individuals. There is an interrelationship between the democratic political structure of a country and its prosperity in the political mentality of Russian respondents. Russian public consciousness painfully strives for a new geopolitical identity and place in the commonwealth of states. It also signifies the country's interest and orientation toward the East in the search for geopolitical partners. The construct system of geopolitical perception also depends on the region of perception.
