The destruction and rediscovery of Edo Castle: ‘picturesque ruins’, ‘war ruins’
No full textCastles were an important symbol of the Tokugawa state order, signifying the realm of daimyo as well as the privileges conferred by the Tokugawa shoguns. Edo Castle was the largest, representing the supremacy of the Tokugawa house as the head of the warrior elite of Japan. After 1868, the progress of the Meiji Emperor into the castle amounted to a ‘metaphor of action’ that introduced a new political era. The remnants of the old castle walls, however, retained an ambivalent meaning by circumscribing the imperial residence as well as being an emblem of the former stronghold of the shoguns. This article explores photographs of the ruins of Edo Castle and the shifting interpretations pertaining to these pictures as reminders of Japan’s ‘feudal’ era between the time of their making in the early 1870s and their republication in the late 1920s

Get PDFAIMS: The COVID-19 pandemic caused many disturbances to daily life worldwide and may also have significantly affected people’s psychological well-being. The present study aimed to describe the psychological impact of the crisis on our sample of young Swiss men and to examine differences due to their linguistic region, experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and living arrangements.
METHODS: Based on an ongoing cohort study, we assessed a general-population sample of young Swiss men (n = 2345; average 29 years old) shortly before (from April 2019) and early on during the COVID-19 crisis (between 13 May and 8 June 2020). This was a unique opportunity to estimate the crisis’ psychological impact in the form of depression, perceived stress and sleep quality (assessed before and during COVID-19), and any crisis-induced fears, isolation or psychological trauma. Associations of psychological impact with living arrangements, experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and linguistic region (German-speaking vs French-speaking) were investigated using linear regression models.
FINDINGS: By the time participants responded to our questionnaire, less than 1% had been tested positive for COVID-19, 2.6% had been tested negative and 14.7% had had some COVID-19 symptoms but had not been tested. About 8.2% of the sample reported at least some symptoms of psychological trauma (≥24 points on the Impact of Event Scale). On average, participants reported higher levels of fear for others (43.6% at least moderate) and economic fear (12.7% at least moderate) than fear for themselves (5.8% at least moderate). Those living alone and those who reported having COVID-19 symptoms themselves, or knowing someone with symptoms, reported higher overall psychological impact in the form of depression, perceived stress, sleep quality, psychological trauma, fear and isolation. Associations with linguistic region varied by outcome, with higher levels of depression and fear in French-speaking regions and higher levels of perceived stress and isolation in German-speaking regions.
INTERPRETATION: The crisis had a considerable impact on the psychological well-being of our sample of young Swiss men, and some groups were more affected than others: those living alone and those who had shown COVID-19 symptoms themselves or had known someone with symptoms may have felt a greater psychological impact from the crisis. Supporting those at a higher risk of psychological consequences in such crises, whether through structural measures or via individual support, should be an important aspect of crisis management and could help reduce the overall impact of the current pandemic on Switzerland’s population

No full textSelbstkonzept und sportliche Aktivität von Kindern mit geistiger Behinderung
No full textSport kann für Menschen mit Behinderungen sowohl positive als auch negative Wirkungen haben, was besonders deutlich wird, wenn auf das Selbstkonzept fokussiert wird. Die wenigen hierzu vorliegenden Forschungsergebnisse sind zum Teil widersprüchlich. So ist unklar, ob das Selbstkonzept von Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung (GB) mit bewährten Verfahren gemessen werden kann und welche Ausprägung es hat. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit diesem Forschungsdesiderat und konzentriert sich auf den Zusammenhang zwischen sportlichen Freizeitaktivitäten und dem sportbezogenen Fähigkeitsselbstkonzept sowie auf dessen Bedeutung für das generelle Selbstkonzept. Die Ergebnisse des schweizerischen Nationalfondsprojekts Soziale Partizipation von Kindern mit einer geistigen Behinderung im integrativen Schul- und Vereinssport (SoPariS) zeigen, dass die angepassten Fragebogenskalen in der Lage sind, das Selbstkonzept von Kindern mit GB reliabel zu messen. Sie zeigen zudem, dass die befragten Kinder mit GB über ein höheres generelles Selbstkonzept und ein tieferes sportbezogenes Fähigkeitsselbstkonzept verfügen und dass sie sportlich weniger aktiv sind als Kinder ohne GB. Die Ergebnisse weisen zudem auf Zusammenhänge zwischen sportlichen Freizeitaktivitäten und dem Selbstkonzept hin
