95. Depression between biomedicine and Ayurvedic medicine : a case of patient experiences in SloveniaMaja Kolarević, 2015, doctoral dissertation Abstract: The present work explores the "major depression", which falls in a psychiatric categorization of mental disorders in the spectrum of mood disorders. The subject of the research was the (de)construction of scientific knowledge of depression in terms of Indian medicine: Ayurveda and biomedicine /psychiatry, and the understanding of treatment, accompanied by an example of these two medical systems from the points of view of the patients in Slovenia, diagnosed with major depression.
This dissertation represents multi-layered content analysis highly relevant to the field of mental health – to cope and deal with the depressive mood disorder, as one of the most common forms of mental health problems. To this end the following was conducted: (1) a comparison between the conceptualization and treatment of major depressive disorder in psychiatric and Ayurvedic theory, (2) an examination of Ayurveda practice transferred to a different cultural environment, i.e. in Slovenia, in comparison with the environment from which it comes, i.e. in India, (3) an identification of key factors that prompt them to undergo Ayurvedic or psychiatric practice, (4) an analysis and a comparison of the course and the outcome of the treatment using both approaches, and (5) a comparison of participants understandings of depression from the psychiatric and the Ayurvedic aspects using narrative approach.
The purpose of this research was to examine the differences between the two approaches of treatment for depression arising from the different concepts of understanding its causes, its course and consequently its therapeutic intervention. The main focus lies on the advantages / disadvantages of compared practices as experienced by patients with depression. This issue is particularly important because, according to health statistics, depression today ranks among one of the most common forms of mental disorders, and its incidence is on the rise. This is not necessarily a reflection of the increased cases as such, but might also be attributed to the better recognition and greater awareness of depression by healthcare professionals and the general public.
The effects of Ayurvedic practice as treatment of mental disorders are still relatively poorly examined, as well as the transfer of Ayurvedic medicine into a different cultural environment. Studies on the treatment of mental disorders with Ayurvedic medicine from the perspective of a European patient experience are few and there is a major gap in this research field. In my opinion, the dissertation would immensely contribute to the enormous research gap on the treatment of major depressive disorders with Ayurvedic practice in Slovenian territory. From the scientific point of view, the results of this research represent a significant development in our current understanding of the still prevailing concepts of medical theories and practices in the field of mental health.

96. Ustno izročilo in kulturni spomin v zgornjem ObsoteljuKatarina Šrimpf, 2015, doctoral dissertation Abstract: Doktorska disertacija z naslovom Ustno izročilo in kolektivni spomin v zgornjem Obsotelju je celovita študija pripovednega izročila zgornjega Obsotelja, območja na slovenskem etničnem ozemlju. V uvodu prinaša predstavitev območja in krajev v treh raziskovanih občinah z zgodovinskega, gospodarskega pa tudi družbenega in kulturnega vidika ter predstavitev gradiva, tako starejšega, ki je bilo zbrano s pomočjo arhivskega dela, kot tudi novejšega, ki je bilo zbrano s terenskim delom. Gradivo je opisano in analizirano skozi žanrsko in tematsko strukturo. Drugi del disertacije je osredotočen na pomen in vlogo, ki jo imajo izbrani elementi pripovednega izročila v družbenem in kulturnem življenju obravnavanega območja. Kot ključni elementi za razumevanje pomena in vloge pripovedništva so se pokazali trije kriteriji: 1) percepcija prostora in časa, 2) konstruiranje identitet, 3) sodobna raba pripovedi in njihovih funkcij. Prostor in čas, kot se kažeta skozi pripovedno izročilo, sta koncipirana s pomočjo liminalnega časa in prostora ter etioloških povedk in zgodovinskih zgodb. Šaljive zgodbe o Lemberžanih ter zbadljivke in druge zgodbe o Hrvatih so v zgornjem Obsotelju priročno sredstvo za ločevanje ene skupine od druge, kar omogoča konstruiranje tako lokalnih kot nacionalnih in drugih identitet. Funkcijo vzbujanja občutka lokalne pripadnosti in vzpostavljanja lokalne identitete ima tudi sodobna raba lokalnega pripovednega izročila, ki je vzeto iz primarnega okolja. Poskus razumevanja pomenov in funkcij, ki jih ima ustno izročilo v lokalnem okolju, je glavna tema te disertacije.
