The COVID-19 pandemic led to dramatic changes in people's lives. The Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community widely investigated technology use during crises. However, commercial video games received minor attention. In this article, we describe how video game play impacted the life transformations engendered by the pandemic. We administered a qualitative online survey to 330 video game players who were living in Italy during the lockdown measures. We found that the COVID-19 pandemic altered the participants' sense of time and space, reshaped both their intimate and wider social interactions, and elicited a wide spectrum of disturbing emotions. Players escaped from this unsatisfying reality into video game worlds, searching for a new normality that could compensate for the unpredictability and dangerousness of the pandemic life, as well as seeking uncertainty in the game environments to balance the flatness of the lockdown everydayness. In doing so, they "appropriated" the gaming technologies, which also led to several unexpected outcomes. Starting from these findings, we propose a model of escapism that points out four ways to escape from reality into video game worlds. Moreover, we outline some design implications that might inspire future strands of research in the field of crisis technologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay delves into the complex interplay between the sacred and the ludic, with a particular emphasis on allegorical origin stories from various religious and mythological traditions, highlighting their portrayal of games and the concept of play. The analysis includes the Judaeo‐Christian Book of Genesis and the Babylonian Enuma Elish. In addition, I explore ‘secular’ texts such as Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote, Mark Twain's The Diaries of Adam and Eve, and Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. These latter works share a common theme: whimsical characters who originate from game rules and persistently seek to comprehend the underlying mechanisms of their existence and the ‘scripted’ actions they are compelled to perform.

Objective: Research on adolescent relationship violence often involves having adolescents report on physically forceful acts, such as pushes and hits, that have occurred in the context of dating relationships. The present study compares: (a) adolescents who reported having experienced acts of physical force by a dating partner and attributed it solely to playfulness (playful only); (b) those who reported having experienced such acts and attributed at least some to conflict, anger, or jealousy (violent); and (c) those who reported not having experienced acts of physical force in their dating relationships (no physical force). Adolescents were compared on anxiety, depression, relationship satisfaction, and psychological violence. Method: Adolescents (n = 1,077) completed measures of anxiety, depression, relationship satisfaction, and psychological violence. Results: Adolescents in the playful-only group reported lower levels of anxiety and higher levels of relationship satisfaction, compared to adolescents in the violent group. Additionally, adolescents in the playful only group reported higher levels of depression than those in the no physical force group. Adolescents in the playful only group reported higher levels of psychological violence than those in the no physical force group and lower levels than those in the violent group. Conclusions: Adolescents who experienced physically forceful acts only in a playful context were not as distressed as those who experienced such acts in the context of conflict, anger, or jealousy; however, adolescents who experienced physically forceful acts only in a playful context still appear to be more distressed than those who do not experience physically forceful acts.

This paper diffracts Deleuze and quantum physics through Winnicott's work to argue for an enrichment to playing. The roots of the play-cognitive hierarchy in Freudian psychoanalysis makes visible that progression and the stages that a child must pass en route to rationality continue to feed educational assumptions that a child must leave playing behind in order to learn. Addressing critiques of Freud's psychosexual theory of child development, I introduce Winnicott's work on playing as creative activity and transitional phenomena which cast playing in a positive light. I then turn to Deleuze's critique of Freud's foundational concepts of child development influenced by Newtonian physics to argue that a Deleuzian concept of energy aligns with quantum physics, which unsettles the binary play-cognition hierarchy. I introduce a vignette to illustrate a rich array of concepts involved in playing that are read through Winnicott. In the final step, I argue that Winnicott's transitional object provides a juncture with Deleuze's concept of the partial/virtual object paving the way to graft an alternative and more processual ontology onto Winnicott's work on playing that acts beside cognitive connections in ways that bring learning alive and liberate teachers to enter less constrained relationships with children.

The purpose of this article is to show how various modes of representation employed in the Brazilian feature film Jogo de Cena (Playing, Eduardo Coutinho, 2007), are used as a narrative resource that allows life stories told by Brazilian women to escape from their present, individual and private temporalities, and thus become part, as narratives, of a historical, collective and public time. These modes make the story prevail over the person who tells it as his own, represented and representative meet and share the same narrative identity without annulling each other, and through an ethical pact create a Third Party built by hospitality to the word. These encounters of varied nuances, propitiated by the montage, free the word from its ties to the speaking body and allow it to explore new forms, genres and narrative practices, without discarding digital ones, in the contemporary audiovisual.

Kindergarten educators are experiencing tensions with pedagogical approaches for early literacy learning (e.g., Forgie et al., 2022; Pyle et al., 2018). They feel pressured to abandon play-based approaches in favour of direct instruction due to changes in provincial curriculum and school board policies (e.g., OHRC, 2022). This paper highlights themes and responses by participants in a study with kindergarten educators during the fall of 2023. Challenges expressed included changing messages from school boards, a lack of clarity regarding direction, and the introduction of prescriptive programs. Suggestions of ways educators can build knowledge and agency through collaborative conversations will be shared.

Introduction: The use of virtual environments in rehabilitation has been growing. The current systematic review aimed to evaluate how and where virtual technologies are combined with music in rehabilitation. Methods: A literature search was conducted in seven databases (ACM Digital Library, CINAHL Complete, Cochrane Library, Computer Science database, Medline, Nursing & Allied Health database, and Scopus). It included articles published from 2006 to February 2023. The search followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for study selection. Twelve studies with 160 participants were included in the review. In addition, a descriptive approach was used to gather data from the studies for the areas of interest. Results: Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality were most familiar and used in rehabilitation, but Mixed Reality, and Extended Reality were less studied. It became evident that equipment, diverse applications, assessment metrics, training environments, and methodologies were highly varied. Most of the studies were pilots, the overall quality of included studies was rated moderate, and the risk of bias was high in the included studies. The studies on motor rehabilitation after stroke showed a clinical improvement in hand functions, specifically fractionation. Furthermore, studies that included motivation, adherence, and mental health, slightly supported the idea that VR technologies with music have the potential to promote motivation and exercise adherence, increase positive emotions, and decrease anxiety. In addition, user experience and feasibility studies presented technologies combined with music to be safe and acceptable in rehabilitation. Discussion: In light of these findings, it can be inferred that virtual technologies with music offer promising avenues for future rehabilitation research. However, some confusion was obtained related to the included studies' definitions of technologies and management terms. Furthermore, it is important to note the limited number of studies and participants, the heterogeneity among participants, and the overall quality of the studies that restrict the generalizability of these results to a larger population. Therefore, future researchers should define concepts and terms, delve deeper into this area to uncover the potential benefits, and clarify the specific mechanisms through which virtual technologies with music can positively impact rehabilitation outcomes.

The author describes some of his interest in the painting of Richard Diebenkorn, the poetry of Bob Dylan, and a lifelong enjoyment of entomology and fly fishing as it comes into "play" with his analytic work. Diebenkorn's "Notes to Myself Upon Beginning a Painting," which were discovered after his death in 1995, are remarkably overlapping with elements of the ontological analysis of both Winnicott and Bion. The author elaborates a few elements of analytic listening from inside his personal "aesthetic matrix," a concept so helpfully introduced in Palmer's paper, "The Aesthetic Matrix: A Conversation Between a Painter and a Psychoanalyst." There is special attention to a few varieties of visual and verbal imagery linked to auxiliary containing functions for the analyst. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this article is to address the psychic tension that arises between theological conviction and personal striving. In particular, it addresses the tension between the author's possessing both a Lutheran theology of grace and an opposing personal striving toward self-justification, signified in a fitness regimen. Drawing upon William James' (1902/2012) and his concept of the conservative nature of conversion in his Varieties of Religious Experience, the author "experiments" with this urge to self-justify, particularly through fitness as a form of playing, in which he generates new religious ways of being in the process of self-reconciliation. Ultimately, such playing involves experimenting within the tension between "forbidden" impulses and religious ideals. Playing, then, can be particularly of service to men, who often struggle to be their own saviors while desiring a salvation derived from without. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background and Objectives: Research on female soccer players that analyzes playing status is scarce and has previously only examined load monitoring, while other markers, such as physical (i.e., strength, power, and agility), physiological (i.e., maximal oxygen uptake), and body composition (i.e., body fat mass, fat-free mass, body water, and phase angle) markers, warrant further investigation. Thus, the study aims were to (a) compare physical, physiological, body composition, and load markers between starters and non-starters; (b) compare measurements pre- and post-training intervention (five weeks); and (c) analyze any relationships between physical, physiological, body composition, and load markers in an elite female soccer team. Materials and Methods: Fourteen first-team players participated in the study (age 23.29 ± 3.19 years, weight 59.14 ± 6.87 kg, height 1.66 ± 0.08 m). Several physical (n = 15), physiological (n = 1), body composition (n = 11), and load markers (n = 14) were collected. In addition, participants were sub-divided into starters (n = 7) and non-starters (n = 7). Results: No differences were revealed between starters and non-starters in any of the examined variables. Moreover, following the training intervention, a significantly lower value was found for total body water/fat-free mass ratio (p = 0.043; ES = 0.582). In addition, there were several correlations detected between load and physical/physiological markers (n = 28); load and body composition markers (n = 6); physical/physiological and body composition markers (n = 34); and physical and physiological markers (n = 42). Conclusions: In conclusion, only a slight tendency of higher load values for starters than non-starters was observed. In addition, no differences in physical, physiological, and body composition markers were found between starters and non-starters, possibly suggesting that five weeks were not enough to improve such variables. Finally, the present results provide novel information assessing the effects of the pre-season in elite female Portuguese soccer players and contribute to a better understanding of the associations between different types of measurements.

In this research note, I track the reflective process of creating and facilitating a workshop series in Amman, Jordan, as a way in which to explore the (re)creation, (re)construction, and (re)negotiation of understandings of Palestinian cultural heritage and identity. The workshop centers around the idea of materiality from the Palestinian homes in Amman being framed as a “material witness” of exile. These material witnesses become an access point into the individual versus the larger transnational exilic experience. I introduce the idea of playing within a participatory heritage framework and how, by starting with the material witnesses from houses in Amman today, it enables a discussion on the modalities of exile, local identity formation, and the performativity of memory as part of an ongoing creative process of meaning-making. I also draw out discussions of playing with my own methodology practice and what it means for future research.

In The Grasshopper: Games, Life, and Utopia, Bernard Suit puts forward not only the wellknown definition of the game in the academic world, but also the imagination towards and redemption of a utopia: the cultivation of games (培育遊戲) . Suits' cultivation theory of game-playing aims at connecting to the exploration of a good life in an attempt to make utopia achievable in the real world, but there is still a lack of an important element: playfulness (玩心), an attitude of willingness to play in a game as an autotelic activity for a lifetime. This paper will begin with Suits' discourse on the cultivation of games, link his conceptual definition of playing with its indispensable autotelicity, and find the possibility of mutual conversion between modern people's "work" and Suits' "playing in games." This paper re-examines and discusses the value of game-playing, including some core concepts, such as the definition of "playing" (玩), its domain, and the transition of lusory attitude. It thus brings out the perspective that the key point of realizing a good life is the cultivation of gameplaying (培育玩遊戲) . We discover that what Suits argues about is "the cultivation of games", instead of "the cultivation of game-playing". In this, there are two noteworthy points. First, when Suits had finished The Grasshopper: Games, Life and Utopia, he hadn't completed his vision of the utopia and the good life. It wasn't until his 1984 published work Games and Utopia: Posthumous Reflections that we can see clearly about his vision. Second, this is due to the necessarily discrepancy between the semantics of English and Mandarin. The etymology of "play" in Mandarin has to do with the meaning of playing with jade ware. As for the term "game-playing" in Mandarin, it contains both the meaning of the transitive and of the intransitive verb "play". Therefore, it also has the meaning of playing in a game. We conclude that the cultivation of game-playing is the true salvation of modern people, and there lies in it the opportunity to achieve a good life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Libraries are still conservative in their approach or practice of providing various services for the unspecified majority of visitors attending these institutions. It is very apparent that libraries are not actively trying to increase the interest and participation of users by applying the various angles or elements associated with gamification. By its very nature, gamification is the application of game-playing elements such as point scoring, peer competition, team work, score tables, and such used to motivate participants and make them more engaged with the subject matter. In areas such as education, marketing, and exercise, the implementation of gamification techniques is actively taking place in order to maximum participation by taking advantage of uncertainties or the competitive nature that many people have with the setting of goals. In this study, four libraries that have applied gamification are analyzed to understand how and to what degree gamification has been applied. Broken down into four different elements, this includes: Point, Reward, Leaderboards & Competition, Self-expression & Achievement. By focusing on the results of this analysis, gamification measures that can be applied to other libraries are specifically proposed. The overall results of this study will provide useful guidance and potential plans for libraries seeking to increase the number of users by using gamification to increase user participation and/or satisfaction with additional library services.

Despite its beneficial effect, it is frequently neglected by individuals. The present study aimed to determine the PA among young adults living in Saudi Arabia.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among Saudi adults living in the Riyadh region of Saudi Arabia from June to August 2022 through a self-administered online survey. Global Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to assess the PA among participants. The data were analyzed using statistical software SPSS v. 26.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).Results: Among the surveyed adult males were the predominant 67.8% (n= 240). Most of them were young, aged between 24 to 34 years 62.4% (n=221), and 37.6% (n=133) of them were between 35 and 44 years old. The current findings reported that 63% (n=223) of the adults had PA on weekly basis. Walking 45.2% (n=160) followed by bodybuilding 12.7% (n=45) was the most common type of PA identified among adults. The barriers identified for not practicing PA were lack of time 46.9% (n=166). With regard to a sedentary lifestyle, it was reported that 9.55 (SD= 4.887) hours per day are spent sedentary or in a constant sitting. The adults gender (p=0.046) employment (p=0.0001) and educational status (p=0.0001) was significantly associated with the type of PA engaged. Although being a female were shown more sitting behavior than males (p< 0.047), similarly the nationality of the adults (6.67; SD=1.649) (p < 0.001), education (p=0.028) and monthly household income (p =0.024) were significantly associated with the overall mean sitting behavior.Conclusion: The findings of this study confirmed that Saudi adults yet posing highly sedentary behavior and physical inactivity, despite knowing the harmful outcomes of inactivity. Thus educating individuals about the importance of PA is warranted.Keywords: walking, running, playing, football, weightlifting, sitting, sedentary behavior

As psychoanalysts of the family group with babies, we have the opportunity to work on the relationship between the parents and the child, when everything is formed: the child's self, the parental identity, the relationship. The work of observation, imagination, play, storytelling can transform anxieties into tolerable emotions and make resources and healthy virtualities accessible. Where there was confusion, emptiness and fog, reference points, metaphors, narratives can take shape in the sessions. In working with children in the first year of life - when communication takes place predominantly through the body, sensory skills, motor skills - we can intervene at the origins, in moments of disconnection, when the trauma prevents parents from reading the children's communicative signals and leads children to loss of interest and relationship avoidance. Therapy can lead children to express strong communicative cues and learn about emotions, and it can interest parents in contacting themselves and discovering the children's internal world. It can offer moments of reparation, unison, thought, which increase hope and a sense of security. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims at two different but connected tasks. The first of these would be that of giving a philosophical overview of Winnicott’s Playing and Reality. The second task will consist in giving a phenomenological interpretation of some fundamental concepts found in Playing and Reality. Here we could recall the transitional object, the transitional area, and even the mirror role of the mother’s face. The phenomenological authors which will be briefly invoked here are Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Eugen Fink and Marc Richir. Marc Richir is the only one of these authors to have given a holistic interpretation of Winnicott’s work, thus providing phenomenological insights of Playing and Reality. The other authors will also be invoked, but their work will be not discussed at length, so that we do not interrupt the fluidity of our interpretation of Winnicott’s text. The interpretations will follow organically from Winnicott’s ideas which will be merged with the body of the text. This paper also aims at underlining the possible connections between phenomenology and psychoanalysis, in our case, especially the psychoanalysis of the child. We are going also to see how certain phenomenological concepts might play along with psychoanalytical theories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Should the analyst do anything else besides interpret? What constitutes an act within the analytic setting? And what signifies an act as analytic? The author reviews previous contributions to this literature, putting forward the idea that the analyst's act is never isolated from the context of the analysis and the whole of the transference-countertransference relationship. Yet, under certain circumstances, it is not interpretation or the understanding of something that facilitates the transformation, but the experiencing of something that the analyst does. Through the careful 10 examination of previous conceptualizations (enactment, interpretive act), the author proposes that the analyst's transformative act is a conscious-spontaneous act, not a reenactment of past. This idea will be discussed in light of the idea of playing and some recent thinking concerning ontological psychoanalysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Statistics show that musicians of all ages often report strains, pain or injuries related to playing an instrument. They are exposed to high-risk psychophysical activities, such as intense performances, hours of exposure to repetitive movements, and demanding posture when playing an instrument. These activities can cause pain and injuries due to overburdening. The purpose of the present paper is to identify the main risk factors in playing an instrument and to consider strategies that should be used in the process of teaching the instrument to reduce the risk factors of pain and injury. Somatic education appears to be an effective way to train musicians for musical activities without pain and injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a clinical study about a girl named Samira and her process of psychoanalytic analysis. It analyzes how the failures in Samira's internal object stability are a consequence of the erratic presence/absence of her external objects. The analysis lasted approximately two years and it was found that the analytical work favored the strengthening of Samira's capacity for emotional containment, thinking, and symbolization. The importance of holding and stability in maternal care and the environmental surroundings in Samira's development is highlighted. [Extracted from the article]

The rapid proliferation of online multiplayer games has opened a new avenue for aggressive behaviors such as hostile communication, sabotaging, and griefing. The present investigation explores the prevalence, perception, risk factors, and consequences of victimization in toxic behaviors. A total of 2097 Hungarian gamers (88.5% male, Mage = 26.2 years, SD = 6.8) completed an online questionnaire. Most (66%) were victims of such incidents in the past year, and gamers considered the problem of toxic behaviors as severe. Younger gamers who spent more time playing competitive videogames (especially multiplayer online battle arena and shooter games) were more likely to experience toxic behaviors from others. Repeatedly victimized gamers reported more symptoms of depression and problematic videogame use, while victim/perpetrators expressed higher anxiety and anger rumination. These results highlight the importance of cultivating prosocial group norms in gamers to improve safety of online multiplayer environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to produce and test the effectiveness of the fundamental movement skills (FMS) learning model product, let's exercise on students with mild intellectual disability (ID) in primary special need education (SDLB) Palembang City. This research took place in 2018 before the pandemic Covid-19 era. The subjects of the small group trial were 10 students and 4 teachers, and the subjects for the large group trial were 23 students and 4 teachers for grade 1 in 3rd SDLB serving children with ID in Palembang City. The data analysis technique used the z test effectiveness test (parameter) and the Wilcoxon test (non parameter). The results showed that the large group trial data for aspects of basic movement skills, cognitive abilities, pleasure (fun), and focus of attention obtained an average value of trial 2 greater than trial 1, as well as the z-count value of the lets exercise model of play activity is greater. from the z-table value (1.96), so the difference is significant. So it can be concluded that the game model lets exercise be effective for improving FMS, cognitive abilities, pleasure, and focus on attention of grade 1 students with mild ID in SDLB.

Este artículo se compone de dos partes. En la primera, voy a ofrecer cinco razones de por qué este Estudio-taller permite experimentar de otro modo eso que llamamos «museo»: 1) Espacio de creación y creación de espacios; 2) Espacio de experimentación, no para ver de modo pasivo; 3) Experiencia personal, no masificada; 4) Volver: un criterio de distinción de una experiencia edificante; 5) Tiendas y fetichismo vs. Mundo de la obra. En cambio, en la segunda parte ofreceré una visión panorámica de lo que puede ser una visita al Estudio-Taller Berrocal, combinando información biográfica con su trayectoria artística y, sobre todo, con interpretaciones estéticas: 1) la Vanguardia de la Tradición; 2) el arte en la época de la reproductibilidad técnica; 3) Posmodernidad y diálogos intra-artísticos; 4) Arte, ciencia, tecnología. / This paper consists of two parts. In the first part, I will offer five reasons why this Studio-workshop allows us to experience what we call “museum” in another way: 1) Space of creation and creation of spaces; 2) Space of experimentation, not to see in a passive way; 3) Personal experience, not massified; 4) Return: a criterion of distinction of an edifying experience; 5) Tents and fetishism vs World of work.
