Institutional identity as a concept in CDA is a field of study that deals with the identities that individuals in institutions obtain, one that merits deep research attention. News interviews as institutional instances can be analyzed based on the impersonal structures because interviewees see themselves as part of the institution and they may not take responsibility when they encounter problem...

Dialogical Self Theory has contributed to the endeavors to map and grid self-identity work in transition from military to civilian life throughout an empirical and longitudinal research project which focuses on existential dimensions. This article is based on a case study from this project and centers upon Sergeant Jonas, who, upon his return from deployment in Afghanistan, struggled with his t...

The purpose of this study was to understand the process of engaging with existential suffering at the end of life. METHODS A grounded theory approach was used to explore processes in the context of situated interaction and to explore the process of existen...

exist. We shall prove that under certain conditions we obtain (1) as a limit distribution of double sequences of independent and infinitesimal random variables and apply this theorem to stochastic processes with independent increments. Theorem 1 Let ξn1, ξn2, . . . , ξnkn (n = 1, 2, . . .) be a double sequence of random variables. Suppose that the random variables in each row are independent, t...

James Bugental and Irvin Yalom, noted existential psychotherapists and educators, both emphasize a psychotherapeutic method that cultivates presence. This important yet difficult to define therapeutic method deserves greater clarification due to its role in effecting therapeutic change. The present study compared Bugental and Yalom on selected presuppositions that relate to the cultivation of p...

Humans live out their lives knowing that their own death is inevitable; that their most cherished beliefs and values, and even their own identities, are uncertain; that they face a bewildering array of choices; and that their private subjective experiences can never be shared with another human being. This knowledge creates five major existential concerns: death, isolation, identity, freedom, a...

We prove that the problem whether two PA-processes are weakly bisimilar is undecidable. We combine several proof techniques to provide a reduction from Post’s correspondence problem to our problem: existential quantification technique, masking technique and deadlock elimination technique.

Older, ethnic Norwegians with incurable cancer may experience different cultural processes, leading to different understandings and management of their clinical reality. Little is understood about how they reframe their illness experiences in light of existential meaningmaking adjustments. This article, part of a larger qualitative study, focused on specialized healthcare contexts. Four case il...
