Transforming emotional suffering into flourishing: metatherapeutic processing of positive affect as a trans-theoretical vehicle for change

ABSTRACT This paper explores core adaptive emotions, both negative and positive, and investigates their respective roles in the transformation of emotional suffering into flourishing. We do so through the lens of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), a mind/body, emotion-focused, healing-oriented model of psychotherapy that has articulated a four state phenomenology of the transformational process. Through such a transformational process, energy-consuming negative emotions are transformed into energy-enriching positive emotions, thus describing an arc that organically links the negative emotions of emotional suffering with the positive emotions of flourishing. AEDP achieves this through (i) amplifying the vitality affects that identify positive neuroplasticity through therapist transformance detection; (ii) experientially processing to completion the “gut-wrenching” emotions of trauma, and then, (iii) “turbocharging” the innate affects of healing to expand transformation through metatherapeutic processing, a technique for working with positive emotions to maximize their therapeutic impact. We conclude with thoughts on how metatherapeutic processing might be used by therapists of different orientations to systematically bring flourishing into psychotherapy sessions and on how AEDP’s descriptive phenomenology of affective states can function as a trans-theoretical vehicle of communication to further the exploration of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying change processes in psychotherapy.
Kazakhstan Orocline bending in response to seamounts subduction

Oroclines are map‐view deformation of Earth's crust resulting from bending of quasi‐linear elements. The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is one of the largest and long‐lived accretionary orogens in the world and mainly consists of the Kazakhstan and Tuva–Mongolian oroclines. However, the mechanism of the oroclines is still in debate. Therefore, in this paper, we combine some investigation of high bathymetric relief resistance to subduction, review oroclinal bending models of the Kazakhstan Orocline, and propose a tentative model that involves asymmetric rollback in response to seamounts subduction and accretion, followed by bending associated with the convergence of the Siberian and Tarim cratons. Moreover, the role of pinning due to seamount and ridge subduction is probably more important than the convergence of continents in the CAOB. This model is compatible with the occurrence of seamounts, the spatial migration of intra‐oceanic arcs, and the development of multiple rollback processes during amalgamation of Eurasia. However, only geochemical and geochronological data will enable definition of the seamounts in CAOB so far, without much matching structural data. So we need more work to understand seamounts subduction and accretion as well as orocline bending in CAOB.
Hypertension and Cognitive Function

Hypertension is known to damage many organs in the body, including the brain. Persistent hypertension is a modifiable risk factor for stroke, cognitive impairment, and dementia. Hypertension is linked to the development of both vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which are the two most common forms of dementia. Cognitive impairment and dementia may be due to acute or recurrent strokes secondary to hypertension or due to chronic structural changes in the brain induced by chronic hypertension.
Execution strategies for memory-bound applications on NUMA systems

En los ultimos anos, muchas herramientas de alineadores de secuencias han aparecido y se han hecho populares por la rapida evolucion de las tecnologias de secuenciacion de proxima generacion (NGS). Obviamente, los investigadores que usan tales herramientas estan interesados en obtener el maximo rendimiento cuando los ejecutan en infraestructuras modernas. Las arquitecturas NUMA (acceso no uniforme a memoria) de hoy en dia presentan grandes desafios para lograr que dichas aplicaciones logren una buena escalabilidad a medida que se utilizan mas procesadores/nucleos. El sistema de memoria en los sistemas NUMA muestra una alta complejidad y puede ser la causa principal de la perdida del rendimiento de una aplicacion. La existencia de varios bancos de memoria en sistemas NUMA implica un aumento logico en la latencia asociada con los accesos de un procesador dado a un banco remoto. Este fenomeno generalmente se atenua mediante la aplicacion de estrategias que tienden a aumentar la localidad de los accesos a la memoria. Sin embargo, los sistemas NUMA tambien pueden sufrir problemas de contencion que pueden ocurrir cuando los accesos concurrentes se concentran en un numero reducido de bancos. Las herramientas de alineadores de secuencia usan estructuras de datos grandes para contener genomas de referencia a los que se alinean todas las lecturas. Por lo tanto, estas herramientas son muy sensibles a los problemas de rendimiento relacionados con el sistema de memoria. El objetivo principal de este estudio es explorar las ventajas y desventajas entre la ubicacion de datos y la dispersion de datos en los sistemas NUMA. Hemos introducido una serie de pasos metodicos para caracterizar las arquitecturas NUMA y ayudar a comprender el potencial de los recursos. Con esta informacion, disenamos y experimentamos con varias herramientas de alineacion de secuencias populares, en dos sistemas NUMA ampliamente disponibles para evaluar el rendimiento de diferentes politicas de asignacion de memoria y estrategias de replicacion y particion de datos. Encontramos que no hay un metodo que sea el mejor en todos los casos. Sin embargo, concluimos que aplicar interleave a la memoria es la politica de alocacion de memoria que proporciona el mejor rendimiento cuando se utiliza una gran cantidad de procesadores y bancos de memoria. En el caso de la particion y replicacion de datos, los mejores resultados se obtienen generalmente cuando el numero de particiones utilizadas es mayor, a veces combinado con una politica de interleave.
Cloud Top Phase Distributions of Simulated Deep Convective Clouds

Space‐based observations of the thermodynamic cloud phase are frequently used for the analysis of aerosol indirect effects and other regional and temporal trends of cloud properties; yet they are mostly limited to the cloud top layers. This study addresses the information content in cloud top phase distributions of deep convective clouds during their growing stage. A cloud‐resolving model with grid spacings of 300 m and lower is used in two different setups, simulating idealized and semiidealized isolated convective clouds of different strengths. It is found that the cloud top phase distribution is systematically shifted to higher temperatures compared to the in‐cloud phase distribution due to lower vertical velocities and a resultingly stronger Wegener‐Bergeron‐Findeisen process at the cloud top. Sensitivity studies show that heterogeneous freezing can modify the cloud top glaciation temperature (where the ice pixel fraction reaches 50%) and ice multiplication via rime splintering is visible in an early ice onset at temperatures around −10°C. However, if the analyses are repeated with a coarsened horizontal resolution (above 1 km, similar to many satellite data sets), a significant part of this signal is lost, which limits the detectability of these microphysical fingerprints in the observable cloud top phase distribution. In addition, variation in the cloud dynamics also impacts the cloud phase distribution but cannot be quantified easily.
Evaluation of the hypersingular boundary integral equation for acoustic wave-propagation simulations

We have developed a hypersingular boundary integral equation (BIE) approach to simulate wave scattering by inclusions such as karstic cavities and gypsum salts. The solution of conventional BIEs for exterior boundary value problems is of nonuniqueness and numerical instability at characteristic wavenumbers (corresponding to fictitious resonant frequencies). With the hypersingular boundary integral operator, we can handle this problem, but with the difficult-to-calculate hypersingular kernels. Our method to evaluate the singular part in the operator is more efficient than other singularity-elimination techniques. Numerical examples validate the method by comparing with the analytical solution.
Mediating Structures: Their Organization in Civil Society

Abstract This paper explores a counter-weight to anti-democratic trends suggested by civil society theory: mediating structures (also known as ‘intermediate’ or ‘intermediary’ organizations). We look briefly at the range of ways in which the concept has been used in social science and then focus on literature which employs the concept specifically in the context of debates about sustainable democracy We discern from the theoretical literature four distinct functions said to be performed in democracies by mediating structures and we offer case examples of organizations which perform those functions in the contemporary real world. We conclude by providing pointers to how mediating structures might be identified, supported and sustained in the face of anti-democratic trends today.
Modeling and optimization of electrospinning conditions of PVB nanofiber by RSM and PSO-LSSVM models for improved interlaminar fracture toughness of laminated composites

In this study, the diameter of polyvinyl butyral nanofibers was modeled using response surface method based on three variables, at three levels of central composite design and particle swarm optimization-least squares support vector machine. Under optimal conditions, the measured mean diameter of the nanofibers was 175 nm. Sensitivity analysis in both models showed that polyvinyl butyral concentration in the solution was found to be the most effective parameter on the nanofiber diameter. The voltage is placed in the next. Fracture toughness under Mode I condition shows that the use of electrospun nanowebs as an interlayer in the structure of multi-layers composite has a positive effect on the GIc which values for the oriented and random nanofibers modified samples increased by 60% and 55%, respectively. According to SEM images, the main mechanism of fracture toughness in these samples was crack deflection and nanofibers crack bridging.
Predicting event tourists’ gambling decision: the cross-level effect of brand equity

Purpose The scant literature on MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) tourists’ gambling behavior calls for a need to explore how their decision to gamble (hereafter, “gambling decision”) may unfold. Consequently, several questions germane to the inter-relationships among event tourists’ characteristics, casinos attributes, and gambling behaviors remain largely unaddressed. This paper aims to address the void in the literature by investigating event participants’ gambling decision. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected based on two samples, and a multilevel design was used to test the proposed model. Demographic and event-related participant characteristics were examined as antecedents of gambling decision at the individual level. Event goers’ accommodation characteristics such as brand equity and type of hotel were explored as cross-level effects on the individual-level factors and relationships. Findings Results of the study illustrate a joint influence – in terms of both direct and moderating effects – of individual-level and organizational-level characteristics on gambling decision. In particular, brand equity moderates the relationships leading from demographic and event-related characteristics to gambling decision. Practical implications The inter-relationships among events, accommodations and casinos present an opportunity for hospitality practitioners to better integrate these three services in a more coherent experiential offering for the ever-demanding MICE attendees. Findings also help practitioners to justify their targeting strategy. Originality/value The proposed framework presents the dynamic nature of the hospitality industry in which the event, hotel and casino sectors are interdependent, a picture hitherto prevented by the single-level oriented nature of gambling and hospitality research which largely focuses on the individual perspective. Given the dynamic nature of the hospitality industry, the findings elucidate a complex interdependency of customer needs.
Effects of alloying elements on mechanical and thermal characteristics of Al-6wt-%Si-0.4wt-%Mg–(Cu) foundry alloys

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of alloying elements on mechanical and thermal characteristic of Al-6wt-%Si-0.4wt-%Mg–(Cu) foundry alloys after heat treatment using a universal testing machine and a laser flash apparatus. Solid solution treatment of samples was carried out at 535°C for 6 h before quenching samples in warm water. Artificial ageing treatment was conducted at various temperatures ranging from 180 to 220°C for 5 h. When Cu was added to increase the mechanical strength of Al-6wt-%Si-0.4wt-%Mg alloy, its thermal conductivity decreased. After adding 0.1wt-%Ti to an Al-6 wt-%Si-0.4wt-%Mg-0.9wt-%Cu alloy, ultimate tensile strength (UTS) was improved 18 MPa compared to that of Ti-free alloy at ageing temperature of 180°C. The addition of Ti facilitated the formation of θ′-Al2Cu and Q′-phase, which resulted in increased UTS at room temperature. In the case of Cu-free Al-6wt-%Si-0.4wt-%Mg alloy, adding Ti to the alloy did not affect the UTS.

Assessing the Impact of the Built-Up Environment on Nighttime Lights in China

Figuring out the effect of the built-up environment on artificial light at night is essential for better understanding nighttime luminosity in both socioeconomic and ecological perspectives. However, there are few studies linking artificial surface properties to nighttime light (NTL). This study uses a statistical method to investigate effects of construction region environments on nighttime brightness and its variation with building height and regional economic development level. First, we extracted footprint-level target heights from Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) waveform light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data. Then, we proposed a set of built-up environment properties, including building coverage, vegetation fraction, building height, and surface-area index, and then extracted these properties from GLAS-derived height, GlobeLand30 land-cover data, and DMSP/OLS radiance-calibrated NTL data. Next, the effects of non-building areas on NTL data were removed based on a supervised method. Finally, linear regression analyses were conducted to analyze the relationships between nighttime lights and built-up environment properties. Results showed that building coverage and vegetation fraction have weak correlations with nighttime lights (R2 < 0.2), building height has a moderate correlation with nighttime lights (R2 = 0.48), and surface-area index has a significant correlation with nighttime lights (R2 = 0.64). The results suggest that surface-area index is a more reasonable measure for estimating light number and intensity of NTL because it takes into account both building coverage and height, i.e., building surface area. Meanwhile, building height contributed to nighttime lights greater than building coverage. Further analysis showed the correlation between NTL and surface-area index becomes stronger with the increase of building height, while it is the weakest when the regional economic development level is the highest. In conclusion, these results can help us better understand the determinants of nighttime lights.
Modelling historical and potential future climate impacts on Keremeos Creek, an Okanagan-Similkameen watershed, British Columbia, Canada: Part II. Forecasting change in farm-level greenhouse gas emissions

Abstract This manuscript, Part II of a climate change impacts assessment series, describes changes in CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions and soil carbon storage on a theoretical farm in the Keremeos Creek watershed under scenarios of historical and potential climate using Holos v3.0. 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions model. The GENerate Earth SYstems Science input (GENESYS) spatial hydro-meteorological model outputs from Part I, which represent future hydro-meteorological conditions in the watershed under the ensemble averages of 15 General Circulation Models (GCMs) for two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) and three time periods (2011–2040, 2041–2070, and 2071–2100) relative to the 1961–1990 base period, are adapted to provide Holos v3.0. 3 inputs. Adapting the GENESYS output facilitated Holos v3.0. 3 modelling of farm GHG emissions to determine whether the simulated farm with both beef and crop production becomes a carbon sink, or source. The result demonstrated that there may be reductions in emissions related to enteric CH4, manure CH4, manure direct N2O, and indirect N2O for different climate change scenarios and time periods. However, there may also be increases in crop direct N2O and energy use CO2 for the same scenarios. Furthermore, soil carbon storage under fruit tree orchards is expected to increase. According to this result, the simulated farm in the Keremeos Creek watershed is a carbon sink and the carbon capture projects an increase to higher levels, depending on different climate change scenarios and time periods. However, if the simulation is conducted without fruit tree orchards as a carbon sink, the simulated farm in the Keremeos Creek watershed is a carbon source and the carbon emissions will increase for different climate change scenarios and time periods. These results demonstrate the importance of woody crops as a mitigation option for reducing farm-level GHG emissions in future.
Sustainable Machining for Titanium Alloy Ti-6Al-4V

Sustainability achievement of difficult-to-machine materials is a major concern nowadays. Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V machined for dry, conventional and cryogenic cooling and surface finish is selected as response to assess machining sustainability through variables: cutting power, machining time, machining cost, material removal rate and cutting tool life. Results indicate that cryogenic cooling is more sustainable than dry and conventional cooling.
Reconceptualising feedback as an internal not an external process

Students are producing internal feedback all the time as they monitor, evaluate and regulate their own learning. When they receive external feedback information from a teacher it has to be turned into internal feedback if it is to have any impact on learning. Recent research on peer review shows that students can generate productive internal feedback by themselves without any teacher input. Specifically, as they produce written feedback on the work of peers, they simultaneously reflect on and generate internal feedback on their own work. Strengthening internal feedback develops the students’ capacity to think for themselves and to become independent self-regulating learners. This article therefore makes the case for internal feedback, illustrates its operation in peer review and points to its promise as a guiding concept for future research and for improvements in practice.
Saving jobs and businesses in times of crisis

This paper summarizes the key findings from the report The Italian Road to Recuperating Enterprises and the Legge Marcora Framework: Italy’s Worker Buyouts in Times of Crisis (Vieta, Depedri, & Carrano, 2015). This research homes in on worker-recuperated enterprises (imprese recuperate dai lavoratori) in Italy, specifically focusing on Italy’s worker buyouts (WBOs)—the form of worker-recuperated enterprises predominating in Italy—facilitated by its Legge Marcora (Marcora Law) framework. Reviewing the key sections and findings of the full report, this summary paper first offers a definition of WBOs as a subset of workerrecuperated enterprises. It also addresses the most common scenarios from which WBOs emerge globally. It then overviews Legge Marcora’s legal and financial framework, and situates the emergence of Italian WBOs since the early 1980s as direct responses to market failure, business closures, rising unemployment, and, with the most recent WBOs, coinciding with the Great Recession and subsequent austerity measures that continue to negatively impact the country. The paper finally discusses key findings from our research on WBO creation in Italy, touching on their most salient demographic and geographic particularities. Throughout, the paper distinguishes Italy’s WBOs as exemplar because of their resilience in times of crisis, and the inclusion of multiple stakeholders in its WBO framework, namely: workers, the cooperative sector, and the state.
