Abstract:
The aim of the current study was to explore perceptions of group-based walking and gather suggestions to inform the development of a group-based walking intervention among older adults in retirement villages. Twenty-four physically inactive residents (16 female, 8 male; age range: 69–88) and four managers from four retirement villages were interviewed. Inductive thematic analysis revealed six broad themes: lack of motivation, values versus constraints, fears and confidence, need for structure, creating a sense of belonging, and the physical environment as a double-edged sword. Proposed intervention strategies included using trained walk leaders, using small groups, planning for flexibility, setting attainable goals, creating a routine, creating opportunities for sharing experiences, and planning a variety of walks. Group-based walking programs may be used to promote physical activity but careful planning of such programs is needed to make them appealing and feasible to a diverse group of residents.In this paper, problems connected to the adaptation of EU cereal intervention in Hungary are discussed. Statistical evidence is provided about the two record years of intervention in Hungary proving that farmers did not take part in intervention though the system was sought to be tailored to farmers' needs. Intervention purchases took place at the wholesale level and traders were the most active participants in both intervention periods. This dynamic intervention activity of traders will significantly alter the Hungarian trade sector by bringing it closer to the physical processes of the cereal chain. As to the size of intervention, the great volume of the purchase of maize has resulted in an exceptionally severe problem considering the large surplus of Hungarian cereals. Recently, the Commission hampered maize intervention in Hungary by excluding this crop from cereals eligible for intervention. This measure is criticised in the paper, as we deem it unnecessary in recent market conditions, and in our view it doesn't make up the compulsory need for a complex reconsideration of recent EU cereal policy on the long term.

The issues of mutual perception of persons holding positions in the hierarchical organizational structure engaged in (some) operational activities are considered. Theoretical concepts have been introduced and provisions have been formulated that reveal the interconnections of the individual perception of each other by persons. Aspects (sides) of perception are established, scales of measurement and potential values of aspects of perception are defined. The significance of aspects of perception is revealed depending on the relative positioning of the positions of the perceiving and perceived persons in the hierarchy. The basic statement of the concept is formulated: the essential content of perception by person A of person B is completely exhausted by three aspects: personal (personal) perception, social perception and professional perception. These aspects are not reducible to each other.

Timing of intervention is crucial, and different timings of intervention may lead to diametrically opposite outcomes. This chapter describes the relationship between disease risk, intervener, and interventions and the timing of intervention. The relationship between disease risk and intervention timing is to explain how to grasp the timing of intervention according to the disease risk through different stages of the development of the same disease. In the section of interveners and intervention timing, two examples are used to elaborate how interveners influence intervention timing. In the section of intervention means and intervention timing, two examples are also used to illustrate the importance of choosing intervention timing according to the fit of interveners and interventions.

A straightforward way of thinking about perception is in terms of perceptual representation. Perception is the construction of perceptual representations that represent the world correctly or incorrectly. This way of thinking about perception has been questioned recently by those who deny that there are perceptual representations. This article examines some reasons for and against the concept of perceptual representation and explores some potential ways of resolving this debate. Then it analyzes what perceptual representations may be: if they attribute properties to entities, what are these attributed properties, and what are the entities they are attributed to.

This is a collection of work on perception written between 1999 and 2012. Chapters discuss the relation between perception and thought, between perception and representation, between perception and perceptual experience which is not perception, and between perception and sub-personal processing. It draws heavily on ideas of Frege, in the first instance having to do for him with distinguishing perceptual experience and its objects from thought and its objects. Broadly speaking, the chapters defend a disjunctivist conception of perception, oppose the idea that perception has representational content, explore the appeal of the idea of sense data, and explore various conceptions of modes of presentation of oneself (and one’s own perceptual experience).

The article begins with a summary of eight well-substantiated conclusions drawn from research on perception in infants that have implications for theories of perception. The following section examines several traditional and modern theories of perception in the light of these conclusions. Finally, some "big issues" that have divided perceptual and cognitive theories are discussed, with the suggestion that research on infants can help reconcile the divided camps. Research on perception in young infants not only flourishes but also presents a challenge to all theories of perception.

Abstract It is now common to explain some of incidental perception’s features by means of a different capacity, called phantasia . Phantasia , usually translated as ‘imagination,’ is thought to explain how incidental perception can be false and representational by being a constitutive part of perception. Through a close reading of De Anima 3.3, 428b10–29a9, I argue against this and for perception first : phantasia is always a product of perception, from which it initially inherits all its characteristics. No feature of perception is explained directly by phantasia , and phantasia is never a part of perception. Phantasia is not imagination or representation, as many have thought, but perception-like appearance. Aristotle thus recognizes alongside three different types of perception three different types of perception-like appearance.
