Abstract:
Humour is considered as a crucial job resource for healthcare professionals. It has been further credited for several positive outcomes such as resilience and well-being. This study investigated: (a) the mediating role of resilience between adaptive humours styles (self-enhancing and affiliative) and well-being at work and (b) the moderating role of self-esteem in the indirect relationship between the adaptive humour styles and well-being at work via resilience. The study was conducted on a sample of 354 healthcare professionals. The findings of the study indicate a significant association between the adaptive humour styles and well-being at work with resilience as a mediator. Furthermore, self-esteem was found to significantly moderate the indirect relationship between self-enhancing humour and well-being at work via resilience.

Abstract:
Failed humour in conversational exchanges has received increasing attention in humour research (see Bell 2015; Bell & Attardo 2010). However, tensions between what constitutes successful and failed humour have yet to be fully explored outside conversational humour. Drawing on Hay’s (2001) classification of humour stages and using a socio-cognitive approach to pragmatics to examine responses from Spanish L1 and L2 users to differing combinations of structural and content features in cartoons, the present study aims to explore what factors contribute to successful and failed responses to multimodal humour. Previous research has predominantly investigated the role of caricature as one of the prototypical features of cartoons affecting humour communication, suggesting that this feature plays an active role in the recognition of the humoristic genre (Padilla & Gironzetti 2012). Findings from the present study indicate that caricature operates not only in the recognition, but also in the understanding and appreciation stages. In particular, our results point to two other roles of caricature as a secondary incongruity and as a factor that can trigger appreciation through empathy and/or a sense of superiority. Importantly, this investigation indicates that the presence of secondary incongruities can compensate for a partial lack of understanding, highlighting the relevance that this type of incongruity has in humour appreciation.

Abstract:
Abstract Six social care professionals were recruited to take part in in-depth interviews that sought to explore their phenomenological experiences of humour within their place of work. Using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach, the results suggest that humour serves various important functions within social care. Humour can allow social care professionals to relieve themselves of negative emotions, to avoid stress and cynicism, to achieve a sense of normality and perspective and to engage with service users. The positive impact humour appears to have upon these professionals is in keeping with the humour–health hypothesis, which posits that humour enhances well-being. However, results from this study also suggest that humour may be capable of negatively impacting well-being. Arguably, these findings highlight the need to extend the humour–health hypothesis and incorporate the negative effects humour can have upon well-being. Results also indicate that, if used appropriately, humour can be utilised to benefit work performance and service user outcomes. The findings of this research hold important implications for how humour may be understood and fostered in social care training, practice and policy.

Abstract:
The present study empirically investigated the role of adaptive and maladaptive components of humour in the relation between attributional style and dysphoria. Four hundred eighteen students (134 male, 282 female; 2 respondents did not indicate gender) completed questionnaires measuring attributional style, humour styles and depressive symptoms. Among men and women, higher levels of affiliative and self‐enhancing humour, and lower levels of self‐defeating humour, were each associated with fewer depressive symptoms. Additionally, higher levels of affiliative humour provided a buffer against the deleterious effects of a negative attributional style in men, but not women. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract:
This research examined the role of humour in power-differentiated wage bargaining conversations. We collected transcripts of wage bargaining between the local labour union and management negotiators of a multinational beverage company operating in the Philippines. Through conversation analysis, we determined how both parties utilised humor to challenge or maintain power relations even as both labour and management worked towards a wage bargaining agreement. Findings show that humour was used to maintain intergroup harmony, subvert authority and control the negotiation. Our findings may be useful for labour organisations and multinational corporations that operate in Southeast Asian countries with historically tumultuous labour relations such as the Philippines. Studies have shown how humour can play a significant role in various social interactions, such as business meetings (Rogerson-Revell, 2007), conversations between friends (Hay, 2000) and co-workers (Holmes, 2000), problem solving (Dunbar, Banas, Rodriguez, Liu, & Abra, 2012), conflict negotiations (Maemura & Horita, 2012) and price haggling (O’Quin & Aronoff, 1981). We note, however, that humour analysis rarely considers asymmetric features of social interactions occurring within the context of negotiation.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on the role of humour as a persuasive tool of tourism destinations' communication and as a means of creating the destination’s image and uniqueness in tourism discourse. According to Aristotle’s appeals, humour belongs to pathos, which is - besides ethos and logos – an essential means of persuasion in successful communication. In the introductory part, the paper offers a short theoretical insight into the functions of tourism discourse and the role of humour in it, further on some examples of online promotional texts about Montenegro are analysed and discussed using discourse analysis. The results, presented in the conclusion, confirm that successful promotion can only occur through the efficient use of tourism discourse which addresses the needs of potential tourists and that humorous texts about destinations are appealing to readers. Based on the analysis, it can be established that branding of tourism destinations, products and services with elements of humour may be outstanding in positive ways, and consequently employed in promotional texts as a successful means of communication.

Abstract:
Within the field of sports coaching, a burgeoning belief exists that sociological thought has the potential to challenge and shape the boundaries of related knowledge. Such enquiry has set about explaining how coaches manipulate their ‘social competencies’ (Lemert, 1997: x) in order to maintain and improve their various contextual relationships (Jones, 2011a). Despite such developments, a paucity of research still exists examining how humour serves as a vital ingredient in establishing, developing and maintaining social interaction within the coaching context. The aim of this PhD thesis, therefore, was to explore what type of humour is used, why it was used and the effects of such humour on the context that it occurs. In adopting an interpretive methodology, through ethnographic methods, data were collected by tracking and observing the coaches and players of Senghenyndd City F.C. (pseudonym) during the course of their domestic season. The ‘coding’ of the results moved away from the traditional inductive theorising and used the constant comparative method to revisit existing ideas in respect of the new data collected. The findings were subsequently subject to a ‘light’ theoretical analysis through Goffman’s (1963; 1967; 1983) presentation of self, impression management and interaction order, and Garfinkel’s (1963; 1967) work on social order to highlight how individuals used varying degrees of inclusionary, shared, self-deprecating and disciplinary humour to manage the often micro-political landscape of sports coaching. The results contribute to the recent investigative upsurge into humour and sports coaching by bringing to light the mundane, taken for granted discourses of interaction evident within the relational, everyday aspects coaching.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis consists of a full-length novel and an exegesis that examines the ways in which humour can be used to restore the symbolic order and serve as a means of regaining control, thus allowing those involved in the most disturbing, painful and challenging situations to feel less powerless. The research component of the thesis involved critical reading, fieldwork, observations, and personal interviews. The texts examined include works by Michael Billig, Henri Bergson and Julia Kristeva, in particular her reference to the act of laughing at the abject as a kind of horrified 'apocalyptic laughter', a compulsion to confront that which repels (Kristeva 1982, pp. 204-206). As part of the fieldwork, I completed training to become a Laughter Club leader. Laughter Clubs are based on the notion that laughter, even fake laughter, is beneficial. This concept is explored in more detail in the exegesis. The fieldwork also included training in laughter-generating activities for students and staff at two local primary schools. The observational component, which involved the Australian War Memorial, the 'Reveries: Photography and Mortality' exhibition, Norwood Crematorium and the children's garden and babies' rose garden at the Gungahlin cemetery, enabled me to examine images and memories of death as well as the responses of other visitors. The final component of my research involved personal interviews. The participants in these interviews were drawn from a diverse range of fields including: volunteers at a local hospice, hospital clowns, general practitioners, cancer survivors and their carers, a psychiatrist, nurses, a paramedic, a police officer, a hospital teacher and bereaved parents. The findings from this research provided the framework for the creative piece, a novel set in present-day Canberra. The story begins one autumn evening when thirteen-year-old Sam is found unconscious and bleeding from a head wound. By the time Maggie, Sam's widowed mother, arrives at the hospital, Sam has regained consciousness. His x-rays show a large mass in his brain and he is kept in for further tests. The results confirm that Sam has an inoperable tumour. Maggie and Sam rely on humour in their interactions both with each other and with other people as a means of maintaining that 'baseline of social control' (Kristeva 1982, p. 99), staying on the edge of what Kristeva refers to as the place 'where meaning collapses' (p. 2). Humour is their anchor, enabling them to maintain a grip on their new normality. And, as if having a dying child isn't enough to cope with, Maggie is being pursued by a handsome and slightly younger man. Both the findings in my exegesis, and the creative work they led to, suggest that although there has been an enormous amount of research undertaken over the previous thirty or so years, there is no conclusive proof that humour can be closely correlated with health. At best, humour can provide a means of controlling that which would otherwise be outside our control.

The portfolio thesis is divided into three parts: Part one is a systematic literature review in which the empirical literature relating to humour interventions in later life is reviewed. The systematic literature review explores the key features of humour interventions and their impact on physical and psychological wellbeing in later life. The findings are discussed in relation to clinical implications and potential future research. Part two is an empirical paper, which explores how people living with dementia and their partners use, experience and draw meaning from humour in their ongoing relationships. Interviews were conducted with 10 couples and the data was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Analysis revealed eight subthemes that were subsumed under three superordinate themes. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed with relation to couplehood and wellbeing in dementia. Part three comprises the appendices.

Abstract:
The relationship between university lecturers' perceived stress, use of humour to cope with stress, optimism, pessimism, and burnout was investigated. Participants included 180 lecturers from a range of Perth universities and disciplines. Questionnaire packages were delivered to the participants at their universities and were later returned to the researcher by mail. A principle components analysis was first performed on the Life Orientation Test-Revised, a self-report instrument designed to measure optimism, and demonstrated support for a two-dimensional model of optimism and pessimism. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was subsequently conducted to determine the ability of perceived stress, humour, optimism, and pessimism, followed by the interactions between perceived stress and humour, optimism, and pessimism, and then gender to predict lecturers' burnout. The results revealed that after perceived stress had been accounted for, humour and optimism had a significant main effect on burnout. Pessimism and gender were not significant unique predictors of burnout. The interactions between perceived stress humour, optimism, and pessimism did not predict burnout. The findings highlight the role of humour and optimism in predicting burnout, and the implications for burnout prevention strategies.

Full text
Abstract:
The causes and consequences of police stress has received considerable research interest. Reversal theory postulates some individuals may inherently require higher (Le. paratelic) arousal levels, compared with those seeking lower (Le. telic) arousal levels. This present study investigated: (i) psychological problems experienced between British police officers, special (voluntary) police and civilian support staff; (ii) telic and paratelic dominance; (iii) use of humour; (iv) dimensions of police humour; and (v) predictors of police psychological problems, telic dominance and humour use. A mixed, cross-sectional survey design was employed. Questionnaires were sent to all police officers, support staff and specials (N = 373) within one division of a provincial police service. Participants completed the following measures: (i) Coping Humour Scale (CHS); (ii) Multi-dimensional Sense of Humour Scale (MSHS); (iii) Telic Dominance Scale (TDS); and (v) Employee Assistance Program Inventory (EAPI). Questionnaires were returned from 191 participants (51% response rate). For overall CHS and MSHS scores, no significant differences between groups were found; although police gender differences were significant. MSHS police dimensions deviated from previous samples. Overall TDS scores were significantly higher for specials. For all three groups, EAPI subscale scores were normative, but with significantly higher substance use reported by police. Police EAPI scores were generally significantly higher, indicative of greater psychological difficulties. Predictors of police psychological problems, TDS, CHS and MSHS scores are reported. These results suggest that police may have a paratelic dominance, in which humour provides a valuable and adaptive mechanism for pOlice stress. Clinical implications are discussed in light of these results.

Abstract:
Development issues are often described as important but dull, and ongoing stereotypical representations of a ‘distant other’ perpetuated by NGO’s and mainstream media create an increasingly disengaged public. In response to this, more creative means of communication are needed to increase engagement and counter dominant stereotypical narratives within the development sector. Humour is rarely considered as a communication strategy for development, but it has the potential to be an influential tool to lower societal barriers and challenge existing power relations. This explorative research aims to examine how humour could be potentially used to disrupt stereotypical narratives and form a site of resistance against concepts such as the White Saviour Complex. It aims to explore the ways humour can engage a broader audience and challenge stereotypical representations of aid, especially within the western media. Considering two primary case studies; online campaign RadiAid and tv mockumentary series the Samaritans, it will explore the ways humour can be used to persuade, raise awareness and increase likability, while also being used as a form of critique. Through the lens of social semiotics, it considers commonalities in how humour can be utilised and how audiences react to it. This research also aims to find the advantages and limitations of using humorous techniques in such contexts.

Abstract:
The article examines the main ethnic stereotypes, prerequisites and ways of their formation in a humorous discourse presented by the genre of anecdote. The main means of ethnic prejudices of humorous stereotypes expression, the reasons and methods of their formation are analyzed. A new principle of their classification is given according to the consideration of stereotypes from the standpoint of psycholinguistics. The paper also presents the schemes of humor perception by Russian and German ethnic groups. Using the material of anecdotes as the main form of modern humorous culture, it is shown how these schemes work and how ethnic stereotypes manifest themselves in an anecdote, how the relevance of stereotypes affects the change and disappearance of certain anecdotes from national everyday life. The means of expressing ethnic prejudices in the discourse under consideration are negative-evaluative communicative strategies of value differentiation, distance, and discrediting foreigners.

Abstract:
The vitreous chamber has an approximately spherical shape, and is filled with vitreous humor, a transparent material with viscoelastic properties. The vitreous humor has the mechanical roles of supporting the eye shape, promoting the adherence between the retina and the choroid, and acting as a barrier between the anterior and posterior segments of the eye for transport of heat and molecules [1]. Often, in elderly people, the vitreous humor has almost Newtonian properties as a consequence of a liquefaction process consisting of degradation of the collagenous framework of the gel. Moreover, after vitrectomy the vitreous humor is sometimes replaced with viscous tamponade fluids (typically silicone oils). Since intra-vitreal drug injection is increasingly used to treat retinal diseases, and the efficacy of this procedure depends on molecular transport processes after the injection, much of the biomechanical research on the vitreous humor has focused on understanding transport processes in the vitreous chamber. Many authors have considered purely diffusive transport or alternatively diffusion with advective transport due to creeping bulk flow only [2,3]. However, when the vitreous is liquefied, rotational motion of the eye has been shown to induce significant fluid flow, which plays a fundamental role for drug delivery in the vitreous chamber [4–7]. The most significant contribution to mass transport is due to the generation of a steady streaming flow, i.e. a steady flow resulting from the non-linearity in the equations. This flow component gives rise to a slow particle drift that becomes dominant over long times.

Abstract:
Humor, which has a wide range of influences, has an important role in human life. Humor is regarded as an effective tool for transmitting a wide range of ideas, feelings, and thoughts and has long been seen as a coping strategy that is particularly healthy and effective. This is because humor is thought to be a strong antidote against negative emotions. In the previous studies, it was detected that the individuals who have a sense of humor also have high task motivation, cheerfulness, high self-esteem and social dominance, and more importantly, humor was found to be positively associated with the creative personality traits. According to Humke and Schaefer (1996), humor and creativity involve both taking risks and generating unusual reactions. Moreover, entrepreneurship includes concepts such as innovation, risk-taking, tolerance to uncertainty, the need for achievement and locus of control. Likewise, entrepreneurial characteristics are defined by creativity, innovation, risk-taking, struggle and high motivation for success. In this respect, it is thought that there is a close relationship between entrepreneurial tendency and sense of humor. This study aims to examine the relationship between individuals' humor styles and entrepreneurial tendencies. The sample of the study consists of students of the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences of Pamukkale University and students of the Faculty of Engineering. We use the most preferred scales in the literature to measure humor styles and entrepreneurship tendency. We test the data through statistical methods and analyze the relationship between students' entrepreneurial tendencies and humor styles.

Abstract:
In certain disorders of the eye such as angle-closure glaucoma [1], pigment dispersion syndrome [2], and intra-operative floppy iris syndrome [3] the contour of the iris plays an important role. The active iris contour is determined by a combination of external stresses arising from the flow of the aqueous humor and internal stresses due to the passive and active components of the constituent tissues. For example, in angle closure, the iris bows anteriorly, and the abnormal shape and position of the iris are directly related to the blockage of aqueous humor outflow, increasing the intraocular pressure. While the interaction between the aqueous humor and iris has been studied [4], little is known about the effect of the components of the iris on the contour. The iris is composed of stroma, pigment epithelial cells, and two constituent muscles, the sphincter iridis and dilator pupillae (Fig1).

Abstract:
Positive art-psychotherapy, implemented within the frame of clinical systemic art therapy (CSAT) of borderline mental disorders as an integral part of the sanogenetic approach, makes a significant contribution to improving its therapeutic and organizational capacities. Increasing of the level of positive emotional experiences during an art therapy session is an important identification tag, therapeutic mechanism and criterion for the effectiveness of this approach, it is registered by participants in a special form for a comprehensive self-assessment of the psycho-emotional state (CSPES). This phenomenon, which we denote as the “positive emotional delta”, plays a key role in solving problems of therapeutic non-compliance (premature breaks of art-therapy), optimizing and improving overall efficiency of CSAT. In particular, this applies to the formation of a sustainable motivation for further studies, constructive group cohesion and safety atmosphere, intensification of group dynamics and therapy training, as well as other psychotherapeutic mechanisms. Methodological techniques, which implement a positive approach in our CSAT model, include special art-therapy and verbal techniques as well as organizational and technical activities. The main art techniques are “Resource episodes from life” and “Personal story in pictures”. Verbal interventions are aimed at developing positive psychological attitudes and appropriate interpretation of the art-therapeutic process and its results (positive internal picture of treatment, health, “militant optimism” and other principles of “psychotherapy of healthy people”, reframing, humour). Organizational and technical activities include step-by-step art-therapy program, principles of its optimal practical implementation (uniform load distribution, “throbbing” emotional load, tactical flexibility), as well as monitoring and evaluation of its effectiveness (form “CSPES”, verbal self-reporting of participants). Позитивная арт-психотерапия, реализуемая в рамках клинической системной арт-терапии (КСАТ) пограничных психических расстройств в качестве одной из составляющих саногенетического подхода, вносит весомый вклад в повышение ее терапевтических и организационных возможностей. Важным идентификационным признаком, терапевтическим механизмом и критерием эффективности данного подхода является прирост уровня положительных эмоциональных переживаний в процессе арт-терапевтического сеанса, регистрируемый участниками с помощью специального бланка комплексной самооценки психоэмоционального состояния (КСПЭС). Данный феномен, обозначаемый нами как «позитивная эмоциональная дельта», играет ключевую роль в решении проблем терапевтического нонкомплаенса (преждевременных обрывов арт-терапии), оптимизации и повышении общей эффективности КСАТ. В частности, это относится к формированию устойчивой мотивации к продолжению занятий, конструктивной атмосферы групповой сплоченности и безопасности, интенсификации процессов групповой динамики и терапевтического обучения, а также других психотерапевтических механизмов. Методические приемы, с помощью которых реализуется позитивный подход в нашей модели КСАТ, включают специальные арт-терапевтические и вербальные техники, а также организационно-технические мероприятия. К основным изобразительным техникам относим "Ресурсные эпизоды из жизни" и «Личную историю в картинках». Вербальные интервенции направлены на формирование позитивных психологических установок и соответствующую трактовку арттерапевтического процесса и его результатов (позитивная внутренняя картина лечения, здоровья, «воинствующий оптимизм» и другие принципы «психотерапии здоровых», рефрейминг, юмор). Организационно-технические мероприятия включают поэтапную арт-терапевтическую программу, принципы ее оптимальной практической реализации (дозированность, «пульсирующая» эмоциональная нагрузка, тактическая гибкость), а также мониторинг и оценку ее эффективности (бланк «КСПЭС», вербальные самоотчеты участников).

Abstract:
The posterior chamber of the eye has an approximately spherical shape, and is filled with vitreous humor, a transparent material with viscoelastic properties [1]. The vitreous has the mechanical roles of supporting the eye shape, promoting the adherence between the retina and the choroid, and acting as a barrier between the anterior and posterior segments of the eye that inhibits both heat diffusion and molecular transport [2]. Sometimes, particularly in elderly people, the fluid in the posterior chamber has almost Newtonian properties. This can be as a consequence of liquefaction of the vitreous humor due to synchisys (degradation of the collagenous framework of the vitreous humor), or after a vitrectomy, a surgical procedure in which the vitreous humor is replaced by tamponade fluids (typically silicone oils). Since intra-vitreal drug injection is increasingly used to treat retinal diseases, and the efficacy of this procedure depends on molecular transport processes following injection, much of the biomechanical research on the vitreous humor has focused on understanding these processes. Many authors have considered purely diffusive transport or alternatively purely advective transport due to creeping bulk flow [3,4]. However, when the vitreous is liquefied, rotational motion of the eye is also likely to induce significant fluid flow.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: P – diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing phacoemulsification without macular edema; I – Nepafenac 0.1% or Nepafenac 0.3% in addition to topical steroids; C – topical steroids alone; O – Mean Differences of Foveal thickness (FT), total macular volume (TMV), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and intraocular pressure (IOP); S – Randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Condition being studied: Macular swelling or macular edema after cataract surgery when uncontrolled may compromise the blood-ocular barrier and allow inflammatory cells and cytokines to enter the aqueous humor, resulting in discomfort for the patient, a slower rate of recovery, subpar visual results, and even more complications like the development of synechiae, increased IOP, macular edema (ME), corneal edema, and so forth.
