“…The pattern of foot placement factor, which examines the manner in which the foot is spread on the floor, refers both to all parts of the foot being in contact with the floor and the gradualness with which the different parts of the foot come in contact with the floor while transferring weight from heel to toe when walking. This is in line with Lowen’s theory that a grounded person is a person with their feet on the ground and that the grounding level corresponds to the degree to which the foot fully touches the ground ( Lowen and Lowen, 1977 ). In a previous study, it was found that the pattern in which the foot is positioned when walking is critical for maintaining physical stability ( Bruijn and van Dieën, 2018 ).…”

Grounding the Connection Between Psyche and Soma: Creating a Reliable Observation Tool for Grounding Assessment in an Adult Population

The concept of grounding is accepted and common among dance movement therapists and body psychotherapists. It expresses a stable physical and emotional presence – “supported by the ground.” The assumption is that embodied emotional knowledge is expressed through the manner of physical holding and in the emotional experience in the world. However, along with the clinical use of the term, an empirical tool for examining grounding is lacking. The goal of the study was to examine the reliability and validity of an observation tool for assessing the quality of grounding, the Grounding Assessment Tool (GAT), which was created for the present study on the basis of theory, research, and clinical knowledge in the field. Forty three adult participants (age, M = 28.2 years, SD = 8.54) were recruited for an experimental and controlled session, the session included guided movement for approximately 10 min. The movement was recorded on video. The quality of the movement was rated by two raters and was scored using the GAT. The study findings indicated that the GAT is a reliable and valid tool – with good internal consistency (α = 0.850) and high interrater and intrarater reliability (Kendall’s ’range from 0.789 to 0.973 and intraclass correlation coefficient range from 0.967 to 1.00, respectively). The exploratory factor analysis showed that four factors are involved in the assessment of grounding quality: fluid and rhythmic movement, emotional expression in movement, pattern of foot placement, and lack of stability and weightiness. The results of this study expand the theoretical understanding of the concept of grounding. They contribute to the understanding of the benefits of body focus, dance and movement in psychotherapy and to validating body psychotherapy and dance movement therapy (DMT). The existence of a reliable and valid tool is essential for assessment and diagnostic processes, for formulating therapeutic goals focused on the body, and for examining their effectiveness.

“…Unfortunately, many seminal and already classical papers-collected in [12], such as [13,14]-do not propose rather any remedy for this difficulty. In fact, the papers present more a classically (non-fuzzy) categorial depiction of fuzziness in different fields of mathematics, than elaborate a frame of fuzzy category theory itself.…”

“…The methodological differences between the papers collected in [12] and the papers [18,19] manifest in approaches to the issue of fuzziness in its relation to category theory. While the papers from the monograph propose mainly a kind of a categorial depiction of different -sometimes sophisticated-mathematical objects (subobjects of the so-called SM-SET algebras in [13]), spaces (fuzzy topological spaces in [14]), theorems or theories (Stone Representation Theories in [27]), the papers [18,19] give a fuzzy and multi-fuzzy modification of a purely categorial concept of natural transformation.…”

The Fuzzified Natural Transformation between Categorial Functors and Its Selected Categorial Aspects

The natural transformation constitutes one of the most important entity of category theory and it introduces a piece of sophisticated dynamism to the categorial structures. Each natural transformation forms a unique mapping between the so-called functors, which live between categories. In the most simple contexts, natural transformations may be recognized by commutativity of diagrams, which determine them. In fact, the natural transformation does not form any single mapping, but a pair of two components, which–together with the commutativity condition itself–introduces a kind of a symmetry to the functor diagrams. Meanwhile, the general form of the natural transformation may be predicted by means the so-called Yoneda’s lemma in each scenario based on two-valued logic. Meanwhile, the situation may be radically different if we deal with multi-diagrams (instead of the single ones) and if we exchange the two-valued scenario for a multi-valued or fuzzy one. Due to this background–the paper introduces a new concept of multi-fuzzy natural transformation. Its definition exploits the notion of fuzzy natural transformation. Moreover, a multi-fuzzy Yoneda’s lemma is formulated and proved. Finally, some references of these constructions to coding theory are elucidated in last parts of the paper.

“…When the membership lattice is the unit interval [0,1], Lowen et al [21][22][23], using the concept of (prime) prefilter as a subset of [0, 1] X , studied fuzzy convergence structures on a set X. In [7], Höhle pointed out that this theory may turn out to be valid in the case of more general lattices, and he further suggested that an analogous convergence theory should be developed based on the concept of L-filters [9,10].…”
