Motherlessness and the Philosophy of Resilience: Overcoming Absence
No full textThe absence of a mother, whether through loss, separation, or societal circumstances, shapes the emotional and psychological framework of an individual. In Motherlessness and the Philosophy of Resilience: Overcoming Absence, Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, presents an intricate philosophical and psychological exploration of how individuals and communities confront, process, and ultimately transcend maternal absence. This book delves into resilience as a fundamental force in navigating motherlessness, offering an analytical discourse that connects philosophical reasoning with empirical studies on identity formation, emotional growth, and social adaptation. By integrating historical narratives, ethical considerations, and modern psychological insights, this book provides a comprehensive and empathetic approach to understanding the profound impact of motherlessness and the pathways toward overcoming its challenges.
Throughout history, maternal absence has been both a personal and societal challenge. The motivations behind this book stem from the increasing recognition of resilience as a philosophical and psychological construct that enables individuals to thrive despite adversity. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, argues that motherlessness is not solely a loss but also a condition that demands active meaning-making. Through an extensive analysis of social constructs, cultural expectations, and ethical implications, this work presents a fresh perspective on how individuals navigate motherlessness while forging their own identities.
Motherlessness, within this discourse, is not restricted to physical absence but extends to emotional detachment, abandonment, and displacement. This book articulates resilience as the primary coping mechanism, defined as the capacity to adapt and find strength in adversity. Other critical concepts explored include autonomy, social dependency, emotional regulation, and ethical responsibility, each contributing to a deeper understanding of the interplay between loss and growth.
A key focus of this book is how motherlessness manifests across different socio-cultural contexts. From orphaned children to those experiencing neglect, the phenomenon is analyzed through philosophical, ethical, and psychological lenses. By examining the lived experiences of individuals who have overcome maternal absence, the book presents a diverse range of perspectives that challenge conventional notions of family and support structures.
Resilience operates through several principles, including adaptability, self-awareness, and social connectivity. This book outlines various indicators that define resilience, such as emotional intelligence, problem-solving ability, and the presence of strong support systems. It also considers the broader societal indicators, such as educational opportunities and policy interventions, that influence an individual's capacity to cope with motherlessness.
To fully grasp the mechanisms of resilience, this book identifies key operational variables such as individual temperament, cultural expectations, and economic stability. Determining factors, including access to mentorship, peer relationships, and community involvement, are examined to illustrate how resilience can be cultivated in different circumstances.
Applying resilience theory in real-life contexts requires practical strategies, including therapeutic interventions, community engagement, and policy recommendations. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, discusses how individuals can develop resilience through self-reflection, structured support networks, and proactive coping mechanisms.
Despite the potential for growth, the journey of overcoming motherlessness is fraught with obstacles. Societal stigmatization, economic hardships, and psychological distress often create barriers to resilience. This book critically examines these challenges while proposing actionable solutions to mitigate their impact.
At its core, Motherlessness and the Philosophy of Resilience: Overcoming Absence is an exploration of the human spirit’s ability to transform loss into strength. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, presents an intellectually rigorous yet profoundly compassionate narrative, urging readers to reframe motherlessness as an experience that, while painful, holds the potential for empowerment. By bridging philosophy, psychology, and lived experiences, this book serves as a guide for individuals, educators, and policymakers in cultivating resilience amid absence
Reformation as a Feedback System
No full textThis project develops a structural theory of religious authority and institutional corrigibility by applying a feedback-based definition of democratic conditions to the organizational architecture of sixteenth-century Christianity. Drawing on the author's prior work on the three-function model of administrative philosophy, the study defines democratic conditions as the conjunction of effective negative feedback and the non-transferability of responsibility.
Adopting the perspective of an impartial observer under a Rawlsian veil of ignorance, the analysis deliberately brackets theological self-understanding to focus on institutional structure. Through comparative analysis of the late medieval Catholic Church, early Lutheran movements, and Radical Reformation communities, the paper reveals how religious organizations may incorporate limited negative feedback while remaining structurally resistant to full corrigibility due to entrenched doctrinal authority.
By reframing the Reformation as a systemic failure of positive-feedback governance rather than a purely theological rupture, this study contributes a generalizable framework for analyzing the sustainability and failure modes of authority systems across religious, political, and administrative domains

Falls in adults with cerebral palsy; a scoping review of impacts, management and prevention
No full textPeople with lifelong impairments caused by cerebral palsy (CP) experience of fatigue, changes in bodily structures and reduced balance, leading to risk of falling. The chance of falling with CP is 5 times higher than for people without CP. Over half of people with CP can walk independently as children but start losing walking ability in adulthood. Although policies in UK state that rehabilitation for adults with CP should be a high priority, there is a significant increase in unmet need among this population as they age. There is no published review of falls prevention, risks and management for adults with CP.
We will complete a scoping review of qualitative, quantitative and mixed method international empirical research and grey literature on falls prevention and management among adults with CP. The review will address:
- What is the social, physical and psychological impact of falls?
- What strategies and interventions are used to prevent falls, manage recovery, concern about falling (CaF or fear of falling) and impact.
- What rehabilitation interventions have been developed and tested to manage falls for adults with cerebral palsy?
The review will be conducted following the guidance of Joanna Briggs Institute, and reported according to the PRISMA-ScR; Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. Drawing on Arksey and O’Malley’s interpretative method for scoping review, our analysis will describe and develop various concepts and views about falls, including how this relates to concern or fear of falling, independence and mobility.
The scoping review findings will inform the draft of a falls prevention intervention for AwCP and participatory methods within the proposed programme.

Does the level of unemployment protection influence how job insecurity impacts health
No full textThis study examines the relationship between job insecurity, defined as the expectation of job loss, and the health status of employed persons. We investigate whether the impact of job insecurity on health is influenced by the level of unemployment protection provided by the welfare state. We consider the 2005 German welfare reform as a natural experiment and use a difference-in-differences propensity score weighting estimator to analyse repeated large-scale cross-sectional surveys from 1999, 2006 and 2012. Job insecurity is a binary treatment indicator derived from the self-assessed risk of dismissal. Health is measured by the number of health complaints during or immediately after work. We find that the reform has led to a statistically significant increase in the negative impact of job insecurity on health. In addition to this short-term effect, a long-term effect of a similar magnitude was also observed. Furthermore, the effects of the reform are statistically insignificant for low- and high-income employees, but statistically significant for middle-income employees. For female employees, the effect is smaller but still statistically significant at the 5 % level, while it is stronger and also statistically significant for male employees
