Already in 1912, Sabina Spielrein addressed the transforming and antagonistic movements of life that appear from conception in her work 'Destruction as the cause of coming into being'. Her writings form a bridge between Freud and Jung, as they establish the relationship between biological experiences and archetypes. In 1974 Lloyd deMause examined the intrinsic link between primary relational experiences, brain development and the system of beliefs and values of the Sapiens species. He outlined the parallel between the transformation of child education and cultural evolution. Reflecting this theoretical approach, in child psychotherapy we have the peculiar opportunity of resorting to experiences during pregnancy and birth, to gain a deeper understanding of self-expressions in spontaneous drawings, dreams and sand scenes.

Background/objectives: The use of natural colourants is gaining attention due to their biocompatibility and functional benefits. This study introduces a different approach using turmeric ( L.) dye extract combined with chitosan to significantly enhance the antibacterial and UV-shielding properties of silk.

Automatic imitation is the involuntary tendency of humans to copy others' actions even when counterproductive. We examined the automatic imitation of actions in blue-throated macaws (), employing a stimulus-response-compatibility task. After training seven macaws to perform two different actions with legs and wings upon specific hand commands, the subjects were divided into a compatible and incompatible group.

The paper analyzes current discussions concerning the so called "replicability crisis" - a notion describing difficulties in attempts to confirm existing research findings by their additional scrutiny or by new empirical studies. We propose interpretation that this "crisis" may be seen as a manifestation of the increasing inconsistency between, on the one hand, the outdated views on a human being and social structures dominating in the academic mainstream across various disciplines, including psychology and sociology, and, on the other hand, the reality of the emerging new stage of societal evolution, neo-structuration, which brings to the forefront individual agency. Our analysis suggests the possibilities for the future inter-disciplinary paradigmatic shift, which implies putting in the center of research not the idea of a constant or predictably developing individual in the context of solid external structures operating in line with a presumably sustainable "progress".

The ambitious WHO goal of halving snakebite mortality by 2030 is challenged by a number of logistical hurdles, none more so than in India where snakebite envenomation presents a multifaceted challenge. We have collaborated with several organizations focused on snakebite in India over the last 11 years, with an emphasis on fieldwork to collect samples from venomous snakes in various regions, particularly understudied regions in the northeast and western Himalayas. This programme has encountered several significant obstacles, including securing permits from government organizations to collect snake samples in the field, obtaining long-term research funding, coordinating multidisciplinary collaboration on snakebite projects and engaging with grassroots stakeholders who are most affected by snakebite incidents.
