Abstract:
In recent years, the number of studies covering mindfulness, self-compassion practices, progressive relaxation, meditation and other self-help therapies or therapeutic interventions has grown rapidly. The vast interest in the field has caused fragmentation in methodological approaches and theoretical models, as well as a diffuse use of terminology, which makes it challenging to compare and critically evaluate the results of various studies. The purpose of this article is to collect and analyze the main trends and conclusions of theoretical and practical research devoted to self-help practices in recent years (2012-2017). The strategy in source selection was the following: a) researching the PsychArticles section of ProQuest database; b) main search criterion: Subject ("Self-Help Techniques"); c) additional search criteria: time of publication; peer-reviewed articles. For further analysis a research question was raised: what research topics appear in these sources and how are they elaborated? To answer it a narrative content analysis approach was used. As a result, five most significant research topics, which show an overview of latest tendencies in the research of self-help practices, were identified.

Abstract:
Self-help books on behavioural and general psychological techniques for sport competitors have proliferated in recent years. As with self-help books in general, there is concern over the validity of these books and their ability to help an athlete develop positive and lasting changes in cognitive and behavioural control skills. This article looks at some of the current issues for behavioural self-help in general, and examines three popular self-help books for athletes. They are examined both from the point of view of independent use by the athlete, and from that of their use as adjuncts to face-to-face therapy.

Abstract:
A recent study suggested that bibliotherapy may be an effective intervention for panic disordered individuals with agoraphobia. The present study attempted to enhance this bibliotherapy intervention by adding audio- and videotape self-help supplements. Thirty subjects suffering panic disorder with mild to moderate agoraphobia were matched on level of avoidance and then randomly assigned to 1) a Wait-list control condition (WL). or 2) a Self-help condition (SH). The intervention lasted four weeks followed by an eight week post treatment phase. and follow-up measures at the end of this phase. Results indicated that, from pre-treatment to follow-up, SH subjects improved significantly on 11 of the 12 dependent measures used in this study. while WL subjects did not. Furthermore. SH subjects were significantly more improved than WL subjects at follow-up with regard to agoraphobic avoidance, coping with panic attacks, self efficacy for mild, moderate and severe attacks, and for two critical measures of distress: frequency of panic attacks. and total severity of each attack. Clinical outcome measures also supported the effectiveness of the self-help approach. More than two-thirds of SH subjects met the criteria for clinical improvement. While only one-quarter of WL subjects met these criteria. Implications for the treatment of panic disordered individuals are discussed, as is the role of self-efficacy in mediating clinical change.

Abstract:
The purpose of this project was to design and evaluate a sport-based life skills intervention designed for indigenous New Zealand (Maori) youth who may be exposed to drug or alcohol abuse. An indigenous research approach known as Kaupapa Maori research was utilised. As an indigenous approach, Kaupapa Maori signifies the importance of research with Maori being initiated, determined, and validated by Maori and in particular, by those directly involved with the research initiative (Bishop, 1996; Tuhiwai-Smith, 1999). As a result of adhering to a Kaupapa Maori approach the participants determined additional areas of interest including academic self-esteem, intrinsic motivation for schoolwork and career awareness. Therefore, the initial project grew to include several other life skills areas identified by the participants. The life skills basis of the 'Hokowhitu' intervention was adapted from the Going for the Goal (GOAL) and Sports United to Promote Education and Recreation (SUPER) programmes developed by Professor Steve Danish (Danish, 1997; Danish & Nellen, 1997; Danish, Meyer, Mash, Howard, Curl, Brunelle & Owens, 1998). The GOAL and SUPER programmes taught life skills to adolescents including informed decision-making, health-enhancing activities (e.g., goal setting) and health-compromising activities (e.g., drug & alcohol abuse). A New Zealand (NZ) version of the GOAL programme was successfully pilot-tested in 1997-1998 in NZ schools with non-Maori adolescents (Hodge & Danish, 1999; Hodge, Cresswell, Sherburn, & Dugdale, 1999). The evaluation of the Hokowhitu programme used both quantitative and qualitative analyses. The qualitative investigation received an enthusiastic response and supportive results for the Hokowhitu programme. Many of the research participants preferred the qualitative investigative approach because of the culturally recognised components (e.g., Te kanohi ki kanohi or face-to-face method used to ask questions). The quantitative investigation used; Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon, Chi Square and McNemar statistical tests (Harraway, 1995). The outcome of the overall programme evaluation showed that the Hokowhitu programme provided improvements in; (a) academic self-esteem, (b) increased intrinsic motivation for schoolwork, (c) increased career awareness, and (d) increased drug and alcohol awareness in adolescent Maori. Also, there was some statistical support for the Hokowhitu programme and evidence that life skills and Kaupapa Maori ideologies were able to be successfully integrated into a sport-based programme.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Arthritis Self-Management Program (ASMP), developed by Dr. K. Lorig, on a population of persons with scleroderma. This particular condition is a type of arthritis (also known as progressive systemic sclerosis) involving a disorder of the small blood vessels and connective tissues. It is characterized by the induration and thickening of the skin and by inflammatory, fibrotic, ischemic, and degenerative changes in the tissues throughout the body. Eighteen people, most of which were female, in the Vancouver Lower Mainland with the diagnosis of scleroderma volunteered for this study. Quantitative and qualitative methodological orientations were used to collect and analyze the data. A quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest nonequivalent comparison group design was used. Self-administered, standardized questionnaires were distributed to a sample of subjects to collect the quantitative data, and a standardized open-ended interview questionnaire was used to collect the qualitative data. The quantitative questionnaire comprised research instruments including The Visual Analogue Pain Scale, Health Assessment Questionnaire, Centre for Epidemiological Studies of Depression Scale, Cantril Quality of Life Scale, Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale, and Health Locus of Control Scale. The quantitative findings indicated that no statistically significant improvements in health status were found. However, clinically significant improvement trends in health status were found. The qualitative findings generally indicated that the experimental subjects enjoyed the ASMP, found it to increase their perceived level of coping with the management of scleroderma, and found the ASMP to be a positive learning experience. With the exception of the ASMP being limited in its specific application to people with scleroderma, it proved to be a feasible patient education course for these people.

Abstract:
AbstractIn the case of fetishism, pathological stealing, or other deviant behaviors, disorder-specific psychodrama therapy initially resolves the confusion of metacognitive processes at the level of symptom production. For this purpose, the metacognitive processes are represented with chairs as ego-states, spatially separated from each other in the therapy room. The patient’s self-development with the help of psychodrama techniques at the level of symptom production dissolves his blockages through defense. As a doppelganger, the therapist helps the patient in his attempt to discover his actual longing in the ideal symptom scene of everyday life, to justify this longing, and to integrate it into his life story. Thus, the patient understands himself in a new way. The subsequent attempts at abstinence show that without the self-traumatizing and pathological behavior, the patient spontaneously becomes more courageous and capable to deal with conflict in all areas of life. This theoretical understanding and the resulting psychodramatic action methods complement the disorder-specific approach in depth psychological, behavioral, and systemic psychotherapy.

Abstract:
AbstractModularity - the partitioning of software into units of functionality that interact with each other via interfaces - has been the mainstay of software development for half a century. In case of the C language, the main mechanism for modularity is the compilation unit / header file abstraction. This paper complements programmatic modularity for C with modularity idioms for specification and verification in the context of Verifiable C, an expressive separation logic for CompCert . Technical innovations include (i) abstract predicate declarations – existential packages that combine Parkinson & Bierman’s abstract predicates with their client-visible reasoning principles; (ii) residual predicates, which help enforcing data abstraction in callback-rich code; and (iii) an application to pure (Smalltalk-style) objects that connects code verification to model-level reasoning about features such as subtyping, self, inheritance, and late binding. We introduce our techniques using concrete example modules that have all been verified using the Coq proof assistant and combine to fully linked verified programs using a novel, abstraction-respecting component composition rule for Verifiable C.

Abstract:
AbstractThe phenomenon of suicide has been a focal point since Durkheim among social scientists. Internet and social media sites provide new ways for people to express their positive feelings, but they are also platforms to express suicide ideation or depressed thoughts. Most of these posts are not about real suicide, and some of them are a cry for help. Nevertheless, suicide- and depression-related content varies among platforms, and it is not evident how a researcher can find these materials in mass data of social media. Our paper uses the corpus of more than four million Instagram posts, related to mental health problems. After defining the initial corpus, we present two different strategies to find the relevant sociological content in the noisy environment of social media. The first approach starts with a topic modeling (Latent Dirichlet Allocation), the output of which serves as the basis of a supervised classification method based on advanced machine-learning techniques. The other strategy is built on an artificial neural network-based word embedding language model. Based on our results, the combination of topic modeling and neural network word embedding methods seems to be a promising way to find the research related content in a large digital corpus.Our research can provide added value in the detection of possible self-harm events. With the utilization of complex techniques (such as topic modeling and word embedding methods), it is possible to identify the most problematic posts and most vulnerable users.

Abstract:
AbstractThe twenty-first century has brought with it a growing variety of authentic and engaging learning environments. While significant portions of human learning still take place in traditional classrooms, researchers and educators have innovated several learning experiences that are embodied, project-based, inquiry-driven, collaborative, and open-ended. Furthermore, there has been greater acknowledgement of the varying timescales and contexts where meaningful learning takes place, as well as greater attention to previously underappreciated competencies like creativity, self-regulation, and collaboration. This expansion in the types, contexts, and timescales of human learning necessitate novel analytic approaches. This chapter will discuss how artificial intelligence-based tools and technologies can help researchers and practitioners navigate and enact these novel approaches to learning, while also providing a meaningful lens for student reflection and inquiry. Consequently, this chapter includes discussions of (1) technologies that provide learners with a broader set of modalities to showcase their knowledge, (2) tools that offer insights within groups of students using audio/video information, and (3) analytic techniques and interfaces for helping researchers collect and analyze different types of multimodal data across contexts. The chapter will also discuss some of the ethics surrounding these types of data and analytic approaches.

Abstract:
AbstractThe need for software applications that can assist with mental disorders has never been greater. Individuals suffering from mental illnesses often avoid consultation with a psychotherapist, because they do not realize the need, or because they cannot or will not face the social and economic consequences, which can be severe. Between ideal treatment by a human therapist and self-help websites lies the possibility of a helpful interaction with a language-using computer. A model of empathic response planning for sentence generation in a forthcoming automated psychotherapist is described here. The model combines emotional state tracking, contextual information from the patient’s history and continuously updated therapeutic goals to form suitable conceptual graphs that may then be realized as suitable textual sentences.

Abstract:
Abstract Wind turbines are one of the most prominent and popular sources of renewable energy, of which, horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT) are the majorly chosen design for wind machines. These turbines rotate about the horizontal axis which is parallel to the ground. They comprise of aerodynamic blades (generated from the desired airfoil), that may be twisted or tapered as per the design requirements. The blades are attached to a rotor which is located either upwind or downwind. To help wind the orientation of the turbines, the upwind rotors have a tail vane, while the downwind rotors are coned which in turn help them to self-orient. One of the major reasons for the popularity of the horizontal wind turbine, is its ability to generate a larger amount of electricity for a given amount of wind. Due to its popularity, the enhancement in the design of HAWTs, is a major focus area for research. In the present study, a scaled-down CFD model of the NREL Phase VI was validated against the numerical and experimental data. The model used had a dual blade rotor and applied the S809 airfoil. The simulations were carried out using a rotating mesh in ANSYS Fluent. Validation was carried out for 3 velocities — 7m/s, 10m/s and 20m/s. Once validation was carried out, turbine was modified with the addition of vortex generators, in the form of cylindrical protrusions that reduce flow separation.

Abstract:
The instability of modern social conditions, informational and emotional richness of learning contribute to the emergence of negative states of fear, uncertainty, aggression, and provokes psychosomatic disorders of students. In order to satisfy the requirements of society, it is necessary to have a high level of development of the ability to control oneself, allowing self-regulation of the mental state within certain social frameworks. In everyday life, students use sets of techniques developed in individual experience that allow them to cope with negative conditions, enter the educational rhythm or relieve stress. Therefore, it is relevant to study spontaneously developing methods and techniques for self-regulation of states that help prevent the negative dynamics of the current state and provide an acceptable level of adaptation. In this regard, the article aims at studying ordinary ways of self-regulation of negative states of students and their relationship with the productivity of cognitive processes and individual cognitive styles. According to the results of the study, we found that typical negative states of students are fatigue, laziness, frustration. The most frequent methods of their regulation are communication, music, walking, sleeping. The relationship between the productive, stylistic characteristics of cognitive processes and the choice of self-regulation methods is shown. Thus, respondents with a high level of imagination and heuristic cognitive style choose a method of communication. Differences in the methods of self-regulation and experienced states in boys and girls were revealed. The results can be of interest to teachers and practical psychologists in education.

Abstract:
Extending the lifetime of modern gas turbines is becoming increasingly challenging. A proper method for exploiting further improvement potential is to utilize automatic design optimization techniques, where for example, optimization may help to prevent excitations of eigenmodes of compressor airfoils thus, decreasing service costs, by reducing the risk of high cycle fatigue. However, in some cases the avoidance of any excitation may be not possible or too expensive due to the loss of aerodynamic efficiency. Since different eigenmodes do not share the same risk of failure, this is also not always necessary. Numerical optimization may account for this by penalizing the various eigenmodes differently which, however, requires that a proper mode-recognition technique be robust against design and mesh changes during the optimization process. This paper will introduce such a technique based on self-organizing maps (SOM). It will be used to project the suction-side surface of different blade geometries and mesh types onto a standard map in order to make deformations comparable for classification techniques. This enables to apply e.g. the mode-assurance criteria (MAC) in order to find correlations between the actual and already classified reference modes. The method will be demonstrated on two rotor blades.

Abstract:
This study offers an efficient formative assessment strategy that may be used to encourage learning and improve students programming comprehension. In addition to traditional teaching sessions, the strategy offers a series of formative assessment quizzes on fundamental programming, utilising an adaptive model for program comprehension as a learning technique. A non-adaptive and an adaptive assessment, both based on multiple-choice questions, are provided to students enrolled in the 2023 introductory programming course. This study investigated how effectively these assessments assisted students in understanding, learning, and developing a sense of their proficiency in computer programming by introducing common programming errors. We gathered data from a survey that 218 students completed at the end of each quiz. Findings from student surveys and observational techniques show that employing adaptive technique was more likely to motivate students and increase their self-confidence. The results also show that formative assessment can be used to support learning programming in addition to classroom instruction to help students grasp key concepts.

Abstract:
Bulk density measurements of radioactive materials can give significant information about radiation-induced compositional and structural changes. Traditionally, density measurements of solids are performed using hydrostatic immersion techniques based on Archimedes‘ principal, the precision of which is highly dependent on knowing the density profile of the immersion fluid. However, radioactive materials are inherently self-heating, producing thermal gradients within the immersion fluid, which induce convective flow and density gradients around the sample. In this study, COMSOL Multiphysics models were generated to study how the immersion fluid thermo-physical properties, sample size, shape and orientation, and heating power output affect the buoyancy force on the sample and ultimately the precision of the density measurements. A dimensionless equation was developed and will be fit to simulation and experimental data to build a correlation between the thermo-physical properties of the immersion fluid and the variance in the resulting buoyancy force on the samples with varying heat outputs. Thermal models will be validated experimentally by immersing self-heating metal mimics — tungsten samples with embedded surface mount resistors connected to a controllable power source — into various immersion fluid baths. Schlieren and laser-induced fluorescence flow visualization techniques around the self-heating mimics can be used to validate the density profiles predicted by the numerical models. Only the beginning setup of Schlieren experiments will be discussed as they are ongoing. This correlation, along with concurrent chemical compatibility studies not discussed in this publication, will help derive fluid selection parameters to increase the precision of density measurements. The validated numerical models can also be used to improve density measurement setups and understand where data probes, e.g., thermocouples, should be located to realize the density profile in the immersion fluid during sample measurement.

Abstract:
Abstract Tortuosity, in general characterizes the geometric complexity of porous media. It is considered as one of the key factors in characterizing the heterogonous structure of porous media and has significant implications for macroscopic transport flow properties. There are four widely used definitions of tortuosity, that are relevant to different fields from hydrology to chemical and petroleum engineering, which are: geometric, hydraulic, electrical, and diffusional. Recent work showed that hydraulic, electrical and diffusional tortuosity values are roughly equal to each other in glass beads. Nevertheless, the relationship between the different definitions of Tortuosity in natural rocks is not well understood yet. Understanding the relationship between the different Tortuosity definitions in rocks can help to establish a workflow that allows us to estimate other types from the available technique. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between the different tortuosity definitions in natural rocks. A major focus of this work is to utilize Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technology to estimate Tortuosity. Such technique has been traditionally used to obtain diffusional tortuosity which can be defined as the ratio of the free fluid self-diffusion coefficient to the restricted fluid self-diffusion coefficient inside the porous media. In this study, the following techniques were used to quantify hydraulic, electrical, and diffusional tortuosity respectively on the same rock sample: (1) Microcomputed Tomography 3D imaging (2) Four-Electrodes resistivity measurements (3) Pulsed-Field Gradient Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (PFG NMR). PFG NMR is very powerful, non-invasive technique employed to measure the self-diffusion coefficient for free and confined fluids. The measurements were done based on two carbonate rock core plugs characterized by variable porosity, permeability and texture complexity. Results show that PFG NMR can be applied directionally to quantify the pore network anisotropy created by fractures. For both samples, hydraulic tortuosity was found to have the lowest magnitude compared to geometric, electrical and diffusional tortuosity. This could be explained by the more heterogeneous microstructure of carbonate rocks. NMR technique has however advantages over the other electrical and imaging techniques for tortuosity characterization: it is faster, non-destructive and can be applied in well bore environment (in situ). We therefore conclude that NMR can provide a tool for estimating not only diffusional tortuosity but also for indirectly obtaining hydraulic and electrical tortuosity.

Abstract:
The high level of anxiety leads to the developing and progression of somatic diseases. The problem of correcting anxiety states for people who suffer from somatic diseases has become especially relevant during the period of pandemic. Throughout the development of a short-term option for anxiety correction, it was important for us to see if this method could be used as a way of self-help. We relied on the principles of healing mechanism of the Creative Self-Expression Therapy (CSE) by M.E. Burno. This mechanism is about the impact of emotional stress on a person with the activation of protective and adaptive systems of the body. The main features of the course of correction of anxiety for people with somatic diseases are: the possibility of remote application; the short duration of the course; avoiding the actualization of psycho-traumatic experiences to exclude provocation of somatic symptoms; simplification of the methodology of creative therapy to facilitate the assimilation of the techniques; the examination of the difference in attitudes for further research of what is conformable with your soul; the examination of the features of constitutional (natural) vegetative reactions in representatives of different characters. The course of correction of the anxiety states with methods of creative self-expression includes six classes. During these classes, you can learn more about: psychosomatic disorders, constitutional features of characters as prerequisites for the emergence of psychosomatic disorders, the theory of stress by G.Selye and healing emotional stress; the healing power of creativity; the techniques of creative self-expression (healing psychotherapeutic diary, creative search for spirituality in everyday life, healing and creative communication with nature, creative photography). We also learn more about self-help techniques for anxiety states (progressive muscle relaxation, breathing exercises). Высокий уровень тревоги приводит к развитию и прогрессированию соматических заболеваний. Проблема коррекции тревожных состояний у лиц, страдающих соматическими заболеваниями стала особенно актуальной в период пандемии. При разработке краткосрочного варианта коррекции тревоги для нас было важно, чтобы данный подход мог применяться в качестве средства самопомощи. Мы опирались на целебный механизм Терапии творческим самовыражением М.Е. Бурно (ТТСБ) – воздействие эмоционального стресса на человека с активацией защитно-приспособительных систем организма. Особенностями курса коррекции тревожных состояний у лиц с соматическими заболеваниями являются: возможность дистанционного применения; краткосрочность курса занятий; избегание актуализации психотравмирующих переживаний для исключения провокации обострения соматических симптомов; упрощение методик терапии творчеством для облегчения усвоения приемов; изучение разницы в мироощущениях для дальнейшего поиска созвучного себе; изучение особенностей конституциональных (естественных) вегетативных реакций у представителей разных характеров. Курс коррекции тревожных состояний приемами творческого самовыражения включает в себя 6 занятий, на которых происходит знакомство с психосоматическими расстройствами; конституциональными особенностями характеров как предпосылками для возникновения психосоматических расстройств; с теорией стресса Г.Селье и целительным эмоциональным стрессом; с целебной силой творчества; с приемами творческого самовыражения (целебный психотерапевтический дневник, творческий поиск одухотворенности в повседневном, целебно-творческое общение с природой, творческое фотографирование). Проводится обучение приемам самопомощи при тревожных состояниях (прогрессивная мышечная релаксация, дыхательные упражнения).

Abstract:
Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM) processes present designers with unique capabilities while imposing several process limitations. Designers must leverage the capabilities of AM — through opportunistic design for AM (DfAM) — and accommodate AM limitations — through restrictive DfAM — to successfully employ AM in engineering design. These opportunistic and restrictive DfAM techniques starkly contrast the traditional, limitation-based design for manufacturing techniques — the current standard for design for manufacturing (DfM). Therefore, designers must transition from a restrictive DfM mindset towards a ‘dual’ design mindset — using opportunistic and restrictive DfAM concepts. Designers’ prior experience, especially with a partial set of DfM and DfAM techniques could inhibit their ability to transition towards a dual DfAM approach. On the other hand, experienced designers’ auxiliary skills (e.g., with computer-aided design) could help them successfully use DfAM in their solutions. Researchers have investigated the influence of prior experience on designers’ use of DfAM tools in design; however, a majority of this work focuses on early-stage ideation. Little research has studied the influence of prior experience on designers’ DfAM use in the later design stages, especially in formal DfAM educational interventions, and we aim to explore this research gap. From our results, we see that experienced designers report higher baseline self-efficacy with restrictive DfAM but not with opportunistic DfAM. We also see that experienced designers demonstrate a greater use of certain DfAM concepts (e.g., part and assembly complexity) in their designs. These findings suggest that introducing designers to opportunistic DfAM early could help develop a dual design mindset; however, having more engineering experience might be necessary for them to implement this knowledge into their designs.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper identifies the challenges associated with using digital image correlation (DIC) measurements for full-scale bending tests that result in large deformations, and it describes techniques to address these challenges. Full-scale bend tests experimentally determine the strain capacity of line pipe, which is a critical parameter in strain-based design and assessment. DIC is a preferred measurement technique for these tests as it provides non-contact, full-field measurements of the pipe deformation over time. The primary challenges identified in using DIC for full-scale, large-deformation pipe testing relate to the speckle pattern, imaging system, and DIC performance measurement. A series of procedure and equipment improvements have been developed to address each of these challenges and to help improve the overall accuracy of the measurement system. The successful implementation of the DIC technique is illustrated through a recent full-scale pipe bend test of a 4.45-metre-long section of 24-inch diameter, X65 pipe. The pipe was subjected to severe bending (up to a 51° bend angle), resulting in the formation of a self-contact buckle. The test was monitored using four DIC systems (each system consisting of stereo cameras) incorporating the recommended procedure and equipment improvements identified herein. The DIC results were validated against conventional strain gauges.
