TL;DR: The Life of the Mind by Hannah Arendt as mentioned in this paper has been discussed in detail in the special issue on The Life of Mind by as mentioned in this paper , where the authors reflect back on their dialogue with the philosopher's text.
Abstract: In this conclusion to the special issue on The Life of the Mind by Hannah Arendt, we, the authors, reflect back on our dialogue with the philosopher’s text. Our reflexion has two main parts. First, we emphasise transversal themes – themes that most triggered our interrogations and that we as psychologists, all addressed in our separate papers: thinking, of course, but also Arendt’s views on dialogue, her conception of time and temporality, and morality. Second, we emphasise some of the questions emerging from our reading of Arendt, which, we feel, can enrich discussions in psychology, and especially in cultural psychology today. Altogether, we conclude by inviting readers to join in our dialogue.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigate different forms of willing in political actions, such as those between minorities and majorities, in single individuals and in masses where willing is often displayed as a 'collective will'.
Abstract: Why did Hannah Arendt, in her book on The Life of the Mind, select thinking, willing and judging as the basic faculties of the mind in preference to some others which might be equally plausible? Why did she conceptualise these three faculties as autonomous, each being an activity with its own features, self-motivation and self-determination? If willing is necessarily bound with freedom, what does it indicate about the constraints of freedom in political actions? In this article, I am addressing these questions and attempting to explore them in relation to political psychology. In contrast to Arendt’s perspective, one can discern different forms of willing in political actions, such as those between minorities and majorities, in single individuals and in masses where willing is often displayed as a ‘collective will’.

TL;DR: The Life of the Mind as discussed by the authors is an intriguing unfinished book written by Hannah Arendt, known as a political philosopher, at the very end of her life in 1975, which raises interesting and important questions for social and cultural psychology today.
Abstract: The Life of the Mind is an intriguing unfinished book written by Hannah Arendt, known as a political philosopher, at the very end of her life in 1975. We devote this Special Issue of Culture & Psychology to this work, because we are convinced that it raises interesting and important questions for social and cultural psychology today. In this Introduction to the Special Issue, we first explain why we believe that this book deserves closer attention. Second, we present the context of its publication, and a short biography of Arendt, to show its position in her life. Published posthumously, the book was her last project, yet it is based on some of her lifelong concerns. Third, we summarise Arendt’s ideas about the psyche, and the main three faculties of mind – thinking, willing and judging – with which the book is concerned. We then address three difficulties the book raises for psychologists reading her work. Finally, we explain the context in which we developed this Special Issue, and summarise the topics that will be addressed in the papers assembled here.

TL;DR: Bolesti et al. as mentioned in this paper used faktory s potenciĆlnĂ-m vlivem na rozvoj bolesti zad lze obecně rozdƛlit na faktoory individuĂĄlnĆ
Abstract: Bolesti zad jsou jednou z nejčastějších příčin, kdy pacienti vyhledávají lékařskou primární i pohotovostní péči. Rizikové faktory s potenciálním vlivem na rozvoj bolesti zad lze obecně rozdělit na faktory individuální (váha, výška, věk, genetická výbava, kouření, celkový zdravotní stav, kondice, fyzická zátěž, anamnéza předchozích bolestí zad), psychosociální (nevhodné vzorce zvládání zátěžových situací, stres, emocionální problémy) a pracovní (nespokojenost v práci, těžká monotónní práce). V diferenciální diagnostice je nutné odlišit přenesené bolesti z kůže a vnitřních orgánů hrudníku, břicha pánve a také postižení degenerativní kloubů končetin, hlavně ramene a kyčle. Bolesti vycházející ze zad dělíme na specifické a nespecifické, které převažují. Důležité je vždy myslet na závažné onemocnění, na které nás upozorní červené praporky. U chronických bolestí je možný vliv psychosociálních faktorů a k jejich odhalení se používají žluté praporky. Součástí konzervativní terapie je fyzioterapie, která se dělí na fyzicky aktivní a neaktivní techniky. Základem je co nejdříve návrat k pohybu a najít individuální cvičební jednotku pro každého jedince a současně při chronických potížích podpořit psychologickou složkou. Důležitá je prevence, předcházení bolestí zad a edukace pacientů při každé návštěvě lékaře.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated different types of awareness of memory dysfunction in dementia, specifically judgements concerning memory task performance or appraisal of everyday memory functioning and also explored the neuropsychological correlates of such awareness.
Abstract: The study investigated different types of awareness of memory dysfunction in dementia, specifically judgements concerning memory task performance or appraisal of everyday memory functioning and also exploring the neuropsychological correlates of such awareness. This was investigated in 76 people with dementia, comprising 46 patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and 30 patients with vascular dementia (VaD). The Memory Awareness Rating Scale (Clare et al. , 2002, Neuropsychol Rehabil , 12, 341 – 362) was used, which includes an Objective-Judgement Discrepancy (OJD) technique involving comparison of subjective evaluation of performance on specific memory tasks with actual performance, and a Subjective Rating Discrepancy (SRD) technique, which compares self versus informant judgement of everyday memory function. The AD and VaD groups showedlowerawarenessthananormalcontrolgroupforbothtypesofmeasures,theADgroupshowinglessawarenessthantheVaDgroupontheOJDmeasure.Regression analyses supported associations for both groups between memory impairment and the OJD measure and between naming impairment and the SRD measure.
