On the other hand, scientists distinguished two understandings of the ‘self’, the self as “Me” and the self as “I”. “Me” corresponds to the self as an object of experience, while “I” reflects the self as a subject of experience. The phenomenology of human sexuality provides a trans-disciplinary basis where we can create a synthesis of the various perspectival approaches to the subject. We suggested a ‘Sexual-Self’ model, comprised from the ‘Sexual-Me” component, corresponding to ‘Gender Identity’, and the ‘Sexual-I’ component, corresponding to ‘Sexuality’ - including ‘Sexual Preference and Orientation’. We also suggested different scientific concepts and domains that can help understanding the existence and the processes of ‘Sexual-Self’ throughout the life.2024-07-29T00:00:00+03:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://obrela-journal.gr/index.php/obrela/article/view/286Quality of life, psychological and cognitive sequelae of patients with post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC)2024-07-29T18:40:56+03:00Sonia Marín Realainfo@obrela.grAlicia Hernández Torresainfo@obrela.grElisa García Vázquezainfo@obrela.grAychel Elena Roura Pilotoainfo@obrela.grJose Antonio Herrero Martínezainfo@obrela.grEncarnación Moral Escuderoainfo@obrela.grThe fluidity of gender along with sexual fluidity and flexibility indicate that sexual attraction may exist and vary within a spectrum or a flux changing during the life.

Gkioliainfo@obrela.grA. Ktenidisinfo@obrela.grP. Darvyriinfo@obrela.grSleep is essential for people's health and well-being, contributing not only to the restoration of their energy and the consolidation of their memory, but also in maintaining the balance of their immune system. Diet can affect the quality of people's sleep, especially that of employees. The main objective of this semi-experimental study was to investigate whether Dr. Sears’s diet affects employees’ sleep duration. Data were collected from a sample of 100 employees who were employed by different companies in the broader area of Attica, once a week, for a period of three weeks. Of those who participated in the study 56% were male and 44% were female. The results showed that Dr Sears’ diet had a beneficial effect on the participants’ sleep duration, which sleep duration started to increase from the 2nd week of intervention and then stay at normal levels. Sleep duration was considered as the dependent variable, while the duration of the Zone Diet (3 weeks) and the demographic characteristics in relation to the other dependent variables were considered as independent variables.2024-07-29T00:00:00+03:00##submission.copyrightStatement##
