Abstract:
Abstract Introduction: According to the new uniform response criteria of International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG), stringent complete response (sCR) is defined as a condition of normal free light chain (FLC) ratio and absence of clonal cells in the bone marrow (BM) by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence, in addition to the CR condition. The kappa/lambda ratio is assessed to identify clonal cells in the BM and a minimum of 100 plasma cells is required for analysis of clonal cells. However, the evaluation of kappa/lambda ratio by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence may be inaccurate, because it is difficult practically to countthe number of anti-kappa/lambda antibodies-stained cells in the BM section and in case of low percentage of residual plasma cells, flow cytometric evaluation is also difficult. To investigate whether FICTION (Fluorescence Immunophenotyping and interphase Cytogenetics as a Tool for the Investigation Of Neoplasms) technique can be used as a tools for evaluation of clonal cells after treatment in multiple myeloma, we performed FICTION on BM cells in follow-up patients with myeloma and compared the results of FICTION with other parameters. Method: 18 myeloma patients, whose BM examination and serum free light chain were checked at the same time after treatment, were enrolled in Seoul National University Hospital. We performed FICTION for the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) items that were abnormal at initial BM examination of each patient. The selected probes were LSI 1q25/1p36/1p subtelomere probe (Vysis, Downers Grobe, IL, USA) for trisomy 1q25, LSI 13 (RB1) 13q14 probe (Vysis) for RB1 deletion, LSI IGH probe (Vysis) for IGH rearrangement and LSI p16 (9p21)/CEP 9 probe (Vysis) for p16 deletion. The FICTION results were reported by the percentage of plasma cells with abnormal FISH signals among plasma cells stained with anti-kappa and lambda antibodies labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). We compared FICTION results with response parameters, such as % plasma cells in BM aspirates, serum FLC ratio, M-component in serum and/or urine protein electrophoresis (PEP) and FISH results. Results: Among 18 patients in follow-up, 5 (28%) showed <5% plasma cells by light microscope based differential count in BM aspirates and normal FISH results below the cut-off level. However, these patients turned out to have clonal cells in BM by FICTION techniques. Among these 5 patients, 3 patients showed abnormal serum FLC ratio and the other 2 patients showed M-component in serum PEP with normal serum FLC ratio. One patient with plasma cells fewer than 5% in BM aspirates, no cytogenetic abnormality in FISH and no M-component in serum, showed abnormal serum FLC ratio and abnormal FICTION results; 2 (25%) of 8 plasma cells showed RB1 deletion in FICTION. After 2 years, this patient progressed to plasma cell leukemia. Conclusion: Results of FICTTON correlated with FLC ratio and/or M-component in serum, while the percentage of plasma cells in BM aspirates or FISH results did not. The assessment of percentage of plasma cells in bone marrow aspirates might be inaccurate due to poor aspiration technique including dilution and focal infiltration of plasma cells. Also, FISH results based on the percentage of abnormal cells among all bone marrow nucleated cells do not reflect clonal plasma cells. In clonclusion, we suggest that FICTION technique is more sensitive method for identification of residual malignant plasma cells with clonalityalong with the evaluation of response after treatment in multiple myeloma.

Abstract:
Malorosiystvo is a social and political, spiritual, ethnic and psychological phenomenon. The long colonial status of the Ukrainian nation, the humiliation of culture and language, the avoiding from anything national, and kowtowing to the imperial are its main features. “Maloros” feels its inferiority, avoids communication in the native language, shows the identity by dressing in national clothes on holidays. Especially detrimental effect of Malorosiystvo is on the creativity of a person. In the article, the author analyzed the views of Ulas Samchuk on the phenomenon of Malorosiystvo. The author examined the artistic interpretation of this destructive phenomenon in the trilogy «Ost», individual thoughts of the writer in the publicistics and documentary. In the trilogy «Ost», U. Samchuk considered Malorosiystvo as a problem of Ukrainian national character, which was formed under the destructive influence of Bolsheviks ideology. At an artistic level, a prose writer explored the spiritual emasculation of Ukrainian creative intellectuals. U. Samchuk analysed the problem of the artist captivity in the Soviet empire. Unification of the creative process, complete control over it, dictates in the choice of themes, plots, characters, arrangement of «correct» ideological accents – all these elements made the creative person completely dependent of the prevailing doctrine. Gradually, the Ukrainian intellectual was either reborn as a representative of collaborative culture, or turned into a spiritual and physical ruin. The author of the trilogy saw the path to national revival in the awakening of the psychological and spiritual forces of every Ukrainian. Such a national aspiration grows out of a deep awareness of their national otherness and belief in their own fullness. The efforts of some individuals lead the nation to consolidation of internal forces, awaken the will and direct actions. U. Samchuk solved the problem of overcoming the disintegration of the Ukrainian soul in fiction by creating of positive characters.

Abstract:
AbstractFist of Fury, starring Bruce Lee, debuted in Japan in 1974. Whilst its critical reception reflected its box-office success, a complex emotional reaction is nevertheless detectable towards the film's unsympathetic portrayal of the Japanese. This paper will explore this reaction and suggest that a post-colonial angst was piqued, one that betrayed fundamental shifts in current racial, erotic, cultural, moral, and historical understandings of Japanese manliness. At one level, the response to Lee is a hermeneutic cue into the manifold ways that this angst was constructed through contesting understandings of an emergent China and unresolved memories concerning failed imperial Japanese adventure. At another level, the phenomenon of Lee's Japanese reception points to longer-term shifts in the visual-cultural representation of masculinity: vulnerability as articulated in the cinema's ‘new man’, male nudity as ‘discovered’ in women's magazines, and most potently, modern Japanese manliness to challenge American neo-colonial hegemony. It is this panorama of masculinity that this paper seeks to open through an inter-disciplinary survey of a variety of media—film, pulp fiction, women's magazines, andhomoporn; a panorama into which Bruce Lee exploded on screen, alerting us to the images and contradictory aspirations that script a visual poetry of Japanese manliness.

Abstract:
Divergent is the first series of Divergent trilogy penned by Veronica Roth. As a work that tells a story about a supposedly strong female protagonist, the novel seems to uphold feminist values. However, upon a closer look, the pro-feminist worldview found in the novel operates merely on a cosmetic level. The long-standing patriarchal ideas about women still hold this novel captive, making it incapable of realizing its affirmative feminist aspirations. This study aims at proving that Divergent’s superficial pro-feminist stance is subverted by the underlying support it has for patriarchal ideas. The analysis is conducted by applying Margery Hourihan’s theory regarding three patriarchy’s archetypal conceptions about women—The Mother, Damsel-in-Distress, and The Witch. In gathering the data and conducting the analysis, this study employs qualitative methods. The result of this study shows that, while the novel appears to be a feminist fiction, it is still firmly grounded in patriarchal and misogynistic values that do not coincide with current feminist ideas about gender equality and female identity.

Abstract:
Abstract This article examines how the rise of polypharmacy changes the novel genre’s response to the pain of anxiety and its narrative interest. Necessarily focusing its scope while also registering the fluidity, complexity, and exigency of contemporary psychopharmacological experience, it focuses specifically on how anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medications are activating an ongoing reassessment among contemporary novelists of ingrained assumptions regarding the centrality of mental suffering to aesthetics. The books I discuss as “polypharma fictions”—by Sheila Heti, Ottessa Moshfegh, and Anelise Chen—each challenge the idea of psychic pain as a precondition of narrative development—whether the pain of existential anxiety (Heti), capitalist aspiration (Moshfegh), or willful determination (Chen). Moving beyond the extremes of alarmism and advocacy that have largely structured scholarly responses to the rise of psychotropics, I attend to the formal significance of psychotropics for narrative temporality, tension, and plot. In this more recent fiction, the question is not whether psychotropics presage the end of the novel genre but, rather, what kind of novel it is that incorporates psychopharmaceuticals and, yet . . . goes on.

Abstract:
At a time of when the global crises of pandemic and climate change could be said to offer sufficient challenges to life in the British and Irish Isles, the implementation of Brexit provides a further gargantuan difficulty. Borders, bureaucracies and belief systems dissolve like the certainty that subjects once felt to their connection to states or Unions. Or new borders and systems appear, bringing with them unwieldy new protocols and practices. Shelves empty, goods sit locked in containers; caught up in the holding pattern of another new normal of online retail inertia. Dislocation, fear and anger rise. The epicentre of the Brexit shambles can be said to be located in the ever betwixt and between location of Northern Ireland. Here with its newly imposed sea border with Great Britain and its maintenance of European Union relations with the Republic of Ireland we see a fractured and fractious society struggling as ever to come to terms with how to balance the aspiration of opposing ideologies and national ambitions with an additional level of chaos. In a time of catastrophe what can literature do? This question, often posed during “The Troubles” has very much come back to be painfully reiterated to writers, readers and critics at a time of multiple lockdowns. However, if an examination is made of publishing in Ireland in the last couple of years, we see a buoyant press offering a number of intriguing responses to the significance and efficacy of literature to respond to the current human predicament. In this article I will examine the work of three contemporary writers, Gerald Dawe, Angela Graham, and Dara McAnulty. I will argue that their use of genre (memoir, short story, nature diary) provides a fresh and robust response to the chaotic present of Northern Irish political life. In their separate ways they contest the fixed, static and impermeable political echo chamber of Northern Ireland. Dawe, I contend, seeks a means through his autobiographical work to retrace time and space in the history of the province and articulate alternative ways of interpreting the past. He is able to draw sustenance and restoration from often overlooked times of possibility in his own and the wider story of Belfast. In Graham’s case, I would suggest that her bold and assertive first collection of short stories provides an acerbic and raw inspection of the past but one that also provides glimpses of reconciliation and genuine hope in the face of trauma. I conclude by exploring the work of McAnulty. Ostensibly a diary that traces his engagements with nature, his book is a tour de force that reimagines Ireland as a location gripped in the ravages of the Anthropocene startlingly brought to life by a young man faced with the challenges of autism. Part memoir, part praise poem to nature, it is a remarkable coming of age non-fiction work, which along with Dawe’s and Graham’s writing suggests that Northern Irish literature offers a broad and brilliant retort to the current local and global calamities that we face.

Abstract:
Aspiration levels play an important role in everyday decision making. In practice, however, decisions are not based on an aspiration level alone. The aspiration level and the overall probabilities of success and failure may receive special attention, but subjects will not be completely insensitive to difference within the classes of gains and losses. Aspirations have a significant impact on pupil attainment net of family background and other individual factors, but their effect is reduced when examining pupil progression. Some students, particularly from low-income or first-generation backgrounds, in spite of having high aspirations fail to meet their goals to attend college. Aspiration is a strong desire to achieve something in life. Every people they want to be successful man in life, they want famous, popular in society, so aspiration has vague meaning and sense. In this research student of Nepal they have high aspiration in life. Some of they want social worker, doctor, pilot engineer, great motivator and great leader in future. The study was conducted among the 511 students of grade ten students of three districts of Nepal.

Abstract:
Daniel S. Malachuk, “Sympathy and Pride in George Eliot’s Fiction” (pp. 32–58) Sympathy’s undisputed champion, George Eliot, has also long been associated with modern liberalism’s aspiration to inclusion. In her fiction, though, Eliot reaches conclusions more aligned with Rousseau’s Second Discourse: only a balance of sympathy for others with pride in oneself will foster the reciprocal relationships that enable inclusive societies. This essay illuminates Eliot’s unwavering conviction that sympathy and pride must be harmonized as moral motivations in three of her major novels. What did waver, though, was Eliot’s political confidence that liberal states would promote this harmonizing program. If the tragic conflict between Tom’s pride and Maggie’s sympathy in The Mill on the Floss (1860) was optimistically resolved by the harmonious protagonists of Middlemarch (1871–72), Eliot’s political skepticism returns in Daniel Deronda (1876): here, the proudly powerful at best only pretend to sympathize, while the sympathetic are empowered by pride only if they’re lucky. Rousseau’s final lesson to Eliot, then, is his pessimism.

Abstract:
The article explores the syntactic peculiarities of dialogue in fiction. We focus on three such features: structural types of sentences, communicative types of sentences, and syntactic stylistic devices. Simple sentences have a distinct advantage in the characters’ conversation due to the fact that they allow the speakers to express their thoughts concisely and clearly thus ensuring the effectiveness of interpersonal communication. The quantitative distribution of communicative types of sentences in the dialogue may be explained by the fact that in the course of conversation the speakers/characters try to learn something they are interested in (interrogative sentences) and to notify the addressee about something important (declarative sentences). The prevalent use of elliptical constructions and aposiopeses reflects the natural omissions that occur in colloquial speech. Thus, at syntactic level, the conversation in fiction bears resemblance to colloquial speech.

Effects of success, failure, and a monetary payoff on the level of aspiration of American Indian and white adolescents were studied. Race, sex, grade, self-esteem, and locus of control were considered as potential mediating variables. A significant decrease in level of aspiration followed failure; the effect was more pronounced at the junior high level. Success led to a higher level of aspiration for adolescents with low self-esteem as did a monetary payoff. Implications of these results are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
While popular nineteenth-century writer F. Marion Crawford’s interest in religion is well-documented, his fiction has been categorised as not carrying overt theological overtones. In contrast to this critical view, this article argues that Crawford’s fiction can be linked to his religious thinking; however, the manner in which his works articulate this interest is non-prescriptive. The article contends that Crawford’s handling of religious dilemmas shapes the unusual generic form of his literary works, in particular Mr. Isaacs (1882). To this end, the article examines Crawford’s mystical position on the Idealism-materialism question that was much debated within theological circles in the nineteenth century. Through an analysis of his non-fiction writings and Mr. Isaacs, I demonstrate how Crawford places ideas from Buddhism and Christianity in conversation to arrive at a “mystical” position on a spiritual “Ideal,” which he defines as an aspiration towards the transcendental that can be partly grasped in reality. As I demonstrate, Crawford draws on this unusual mystical notion of the “Ideal” to develop a new literary form that merges romance with elements from realism in Mr. Isaacs.

This study examined pre-service teachers' level of aspiration to use educational technology experience, and level of aspiration to use digital tools to engage learners in class activities and their performance in an educational technology course. The study adopted the research survey design and was carried out with 261 pre-service teachers. The results revealed that the level of aspiration to use experience from educational technology course and digital tool training was high. The result showed a significant positive relationship of R= 0.03 between pre-service teachers' level of aspiration to use educational technology experience and their performance. Also, there was a positive relationship of R= 0.66 between prospective teachers' level of aspiration to use digital tools and their performance. It was, therefore, recommended that pre-service teachers need to be encouraged with adequate instructional facilities to have positive aspiration to use technology now and in the future.

Abstract:
The level of aspiration and performance was examined for 25 male psychiatric inpatients whose mean age was 57.4 yr. and mean length of hospitalization was 23–6 yr. For a simple motor task involving flipping a plastic chip over a goal line, each patient expressed the ward and his personal pretask levels of aspiration, performed the task, and expressed his personal posttask aspiration. The expressions of both the ward and pretask levels of aspiration were less than the mean score of a nonhospitalized referent group. Both performance and posttask levels of aspiration were greater than the pretask level. More patients predicted they would perform worse than the other patients on the ward than predicted they would perform better. The patients appropriately shifted their levels of aspiration either up after success or down after failure. The results were discussed according to expectations from classical theory as well as findings with schizophrenics. Implications for further research were discussed.

Based on the behavioral theory of the firm (BTOF), this study posits that firms performing below the aspiration levels avoid more taxes in the subsequent period than other firms. Empirical findings using data from a sample of U.S. firms for the period covering 1993-2016 support the hypothesis. The findings also show that, while there is a difference among firms meeting or beating the aspiration level, there is no statistically significant difference in tax avoidance level among firms performing short of their aspiration level. The study contributes to the existing literature by providing additional evidence extending the scope of literature in BTOF and tax avoidance areas.

Abstract:
This study investigates whether and how the impact of drivers of aspiration levels changes across the cases of consistent and inconsistent performance feedback within the context of a retailer. Analysis of internal corporate data shows that while past aspiration level and performance–aspiration gap positively influence the current aspiration level in the case of inconsistent feedback, performance feedback consistency changes only the impact of performance relative to peers. This study replicates past research in a different industry and country due to limited empirical evidence, introduces real-world complexity into aspiration theory, pinpoints performance–aspiration gap as the primary performance feedback, introduces a new sign for the impact of performance relative to peers, and reconciles its previously detected mixed impact. The findings suggest that organizational attention has an inward focus in the case of inconsistent feedback. The results also point out that leaders can trigger change through a performance outcome that lags behind the corresponding aspiration level rather than the performance of peers and eventually move their organizations toward high performance targets by starting with feasible rather than stretch goals.

Abstract:
This paper explores and discusses the root causes of dropout in an ethnic community in Nepal and then suggests of mandating technical and vocational education in secondary level education as one of the solutions that increases both efficiency and output of education system. In doing so, I carried out an ethnographic research as the part of my Ph.D, in ethnic community of Tamang people in one rural areas of Kathmandu district. I applied prolong field observation and in depth interview to explore their perception regarding school education. I came with the understanding that people had very low level of aspiration from existing school education. People were experienced only two roles of education in their life. First, many community people perceived role of education for them was nothing more than getting literacy skills: read and calculate. Second, some other people thought that school education was useful to increase the little hope of getting the low level of job. However having simply the school level certificate had no guarantee of getting a job. It needed to have a good network or to bribe the people who were in power. In order to materialize these two aspirations, grade 8 was enough so they were not bothered for completing school level education. However a very few community people considered school education as a foundation for higher education to lead to gain power, prestige and property. In this regard, I argue that mandating technical and vocational education in secondary level education that helps not only to fulfill the basic aim of education of developing employability among school graduates but also enhance the efficiency and outcome of school education system.

Abstract:
Level of aspiration was studied as a function of performance on the first part of a concept-formation task and as a predictor of performance on later trials of that same task. 76 college students (54 women and 22 men) were asked to make a prediction as to how many trials they would answer correctly on the second part after completing the first part. It was hypothesized that (1) subjects who perform better on the first part set higher levels of aspiration, (2) high predictors perform better on the second part, and (3) subjects with higher grade point averages make higher predictions than those with lower GPAs. Subjects scoring higher on the first part did set higher levels of aspiration, but high predictors did not perform better on the second part of the task. Grade point average was not related to level of aspiration or to actual performance on the task.

AbstractA new procedure for aspiration which closes the larynx at the level of the false cords is reported. This method is not harmful to the vocal folds and maintains arytenoid movement, thus preserving phonatory function. With the advance of the operative technique for aspiration and swallowing rehabilitation, patients who have recovered from aspiration can be helped. Our procedure can be recommended for such cases.

<p>Fiction Corner was an interesting corner in Library of Senior High School 1 Yogyakarta. The Fiction Corner contains special collections of fiction that are not found in other libraries, especially school libraries. In addition, the level of loan collections in the fiction corner is also the most prominent compared to other collections. The acquisition in this fiction corner is unique because it is based on needs in the corner of fiction with certain considerations and stages. The purpose of this paper is to know the implementation, obstacles, and the impact of the acquisition of a collection of fiction in the fiction corner. Qualitative research methods and approaches, with field observation techniques, direct interviews and collecting available data. The results of the acquisition research are going well but there are some obstacles. Positive impact in the form of; a) increase the level of library visits; b) Increase reading interest in supporting the school literacy movement; c) Become a distinctive feature of the library; d) Increase the percentage comparison of collections of fiction and non-fiction. While the negative impacts are: a) The fiction corner is very full of users; b) Collection of fiction in the corner of fiction is not well organized; c) High loss rates</p>

Abstract:
This paper proposes an analysis of an air traffic control students’ survey describing self-assessment of their workload levels. The workload is defined as the number of aircraft simultaneously under control. The survey is performed over the gird with axes represented with aircraft number, their correspondent, and utility/satisfaction levels. The aspiration level values are calculated using workload differences. The safety background of risks in aviation activities is described. Risk and aspiration level links are highlighted. The aspiration level notion for the proposed research is inferred. Survey details and conditions are explained. The differences in four quarters at the workload charts specified by respondents are explained. The aspiration level parameters and basic statistics calculated for respondents are presented. Appropriate goodness-of-fit tests are performed with different sets of initially received answers. Whole samples and subsamples are considered. It is shown that for the full sample considered, the outlet removal provides significant increase of p-value, thus allowing to change the hypothesis approval status. Sub-samples list includes the whole sample without outlets and the whole sample aspiration level calculated for only positive values according to y-axis. Additionally, other values were considered. Namely regret values, i.e., the values on the descending half of the charts and a mixture of regret and aspiration level values in regard that is higher. Normal and exponential distribution significances are proven for the different options mentioned above. It is shown that the general chi-squared method provides the latter mixture to be insignificantly exponential, whereas specific Fisher’s test approves the significance of the data. The role of air traffic control students’ aspiration level in their estimation and possible education strategy personalization is described. The importance of human factor consideration during similar survey performance is once again proven. The connection of regret with aspiration level in a mixture is discussed. The conclusions on the results are provided. Further research directions are proposed.

Abstract This article links Camus’s recurrent lyrical themes and motifs with those of Faulkner. The speeches delivered by the two authors on receiving the Nobel Prize clearly underpin their conception of the art of writing, torn between suffering and beauty. For them the landscape alone can serve as a generative core to reveal the country itself. This article questions the tension raised by the South (Algeria and the imaginary county of Yoknapatawpha) and the authors’ aspiration for a lyrical prose liberated from the pressure of fiction writing. It outlines a parallel between their destiny and their accidental deaths.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the phenomenon of mystery fiction and its evolution in the context of development of sociocultural project of modernity. The latter is viewed as a complex system, which fundamental principles permeate the entire fabrics of European culture, generating such phenomenon as a mystery fiction plot. The analysis of its varieties deepens the understanding of specificity of modernity and mature of crises that has captured it. Hermeneutic analysis allows going beyond the frames of the narrow-disciplinary analysis of the corresponding texts, allowing to determine the inevident layers within the phenomenon of narration of mystery fiction. The initial methodological point is presented by the concept of V. P. Rudnev, who identified interrelation between the mystery fiction storylines and dominant gnoseological paradigm. The author determines the four levels of narration of mystery fiction: ontological, gnoseological, anthropological, and ethical-normative. The classical (analytical) mystery fiction describes reality commensurable to human reason (ontological level), investigation appears as strict analysis (gnoseological level), detective resembles a &ldquo;private thinker&rdquo; who is distant from the society and the crime itself (anthropological level), and a crime is interpreted as a deviation that disturbs harmony of the rational order (ethical-normative level). In this sense, a classical mystery fiction is a reflection of metanarrative of modernity, aimed at building a complete system, and excluding the Other. At the same time, the crisis of the basis of modernity is essentially reflected in metamorphoses of mystery fiction genre. In existential and pragmatic mystery fiction, reality is irrational, and boundaries between the norm and deviation are being diluted. Such situation may be describes as disappointment in metanarrative &ndash; in underlines the inability of modern culture to adequately fulfill its fundamental functions. The Other strike roots in the cultural space; however, the space itself exists in accordance with the principles of postmodern anarchy.

Abstract:
Background Ganglion cysts are the most frequent soft tissue tumor encountered in the upper extremity and are commonly treated by aspiration or by surgical excision. Ultrasound is a promising addition to traditional aspiration, as it allows for visualization of the needle within the ganglion before aspiration. Questions Are ganglion cysts of the wrist less likely to reoccur if they are aspirated under ultrasound guidance versus “blind” aspiration without the use of ultrasound guidance? Does patient functionality change based on whether or not the cyst recurred? Patients and Methods In total, 52 patients were successfully contacted and recurrence rates were compared between those whose cyst was treated with ultrasound-guided (13 patients) with those whose cyst was treated with blind aspiration (39 patients). Mean follow-up time was 2.9 years. Results Recurrence rates were 69% (9 patients) and 74% (29 patients) for the ultrasound-guided and blind aspiration groups, respectively (p-value: 0.73), showing no significant difference in recurrences of wrist ganglion between the two groups. A metric of functionality (Quick–DASH [Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand]) revealed worse outcomes in patients who experienced return of ganglion cyst after aspiration versus those who did not. Conclusion Additional studies with improved sample sizes are needed to demonstrate the superiority of ultrasound-guided aspiration versus blind aspiration. Due to a high recurrence rate following aspiration (both ultrasound-guided and blinded), a lower threshold for surgical intervention is likely reasonable. Level of Evidence This is a Level IIIb study.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between irrational beliefs and the level of aspiration among orphan's teenagers in Makkah, The study also aimed to identify the differences between the teenagers average scores on some dimensions of a scale of level of aspiration according to (level- age), the study sample consisted of all teenager girls who were in an orphan house in Makkah called “Dar Alzhour”; they were 29 teenagers. The researchers used descriptive and comparative research design, a scale of irrational ideas; prepared by Motaaz Abdullah and Mohamd Abdulrhman (2002) and developed by the researcher, was used alongside with the scale of level of aspiration; prepared by Amal Bathah (2004) and developed by the researcher. The two scales were tested and validated in both had high level of validity and reliability. The research results showed that the average of the irrational ideas spread among the study sample was (3.38) which was average score, whereas the average of the level of aspiration was (3.48) which was a high score. There was no statistically significant relationship between the irrational beliefs and level of aspiration among the study sample, there was no statistically significant differences in the means at the degree of irrational beliefs according to (level- age), and there was no statistically significant relationship the means at the degree of aspiration level according to (level- age). The important recommendations of the researcher were as follows: to focus on preventive counseling programs aimed at educating rational and logical thinking among orphans as part of the personality education and mental health programs, to adopt modern trends in psychosocial treatment when dealing with orphans' problems, to pay attention to the employment of specialists who are prepared and qualified professionally and ethically, to investigate the surrogate mother before handing over work, and finally, to involve orphans in identifying programs and activities that reflect their needs, and integrate them into society from an early age.
