Is Individual Temperament Centered Psychotherapy Possible: AProposal Based on Nine Types Temperament Model

Although there are many psychotherapy approaches today, it can be stated that a psychotherapy approach that is based on the temperament concept, which constitutes the structural basis of individual differences, does not exist. Even though the models focusing on explaining the temperament and the personality draw attention to the importance of these concepts in psychotherapy, these models did not formulate an important psychotherapy approach that places these concepts in its center. In fact, temperament is a key concept, which forms the smallest psychological building stone of individuals, determines the psychopathologic predispositions and the duration of experiencing of the psychopathology by an individual. Thus, temperament concept can be a focus point for the therapeutic approaches. In this study, we proposed the basic approaches and methods of individual temperament centered psychotherapy from the perspective of Nine Types Temperament Model that centers temperament concept. This can be an awarenessbased, non-eclectic, different, holistic and systematic psychotherapy approach which can enable the balancing of behaviors, emotions and ideas of an individual. At the same time, we tried to define a general course of actions for therapists to structure what kind of a therapeutic approach they will apply, which can be considered as a starting point to form a psychotherapy model that considers the human being in a holistic way from normal to psychopathology and focuses on causality.
Time series modelling on KLCI returns in Malaysia

The aim of this study is to model the stock returns in Malaysia by using time series analysis to capture the characteristic of the KLCI returns. The effect of global financial crisis on the stock market in Malaysia is examined and the crisis period considered is from the beginning of 2008 until the first quarter of 2009. This study is conducted in order to identify the characteristic of the stock returns in Malaysia and whether the crisis has changed the time series model. Daily KLCI is collected from the beginning of July 2002 until the end of June 2014. The data are separated into three different periods which are the whole period (whole sample size), pre-crisis period and post-crisis period. Several tests are conducted in order to fit a suitable model for each period. The results show that the best model 70 Husna Hasan et al. for whole period and post-crisis period is the same which is ARMA(1,0)EGARCH(1,1) model while the best model for pre-crisis period is ARMA(3,0)EGARCH(1,1) model. The model before the global financial crisis and after the global financial crisis is different, indicating that the crisis has given the impacts on Malaysia stock market. The pre-crisis period’s returns are more dependent on the previous returns. The whole period has the highest persistency and highest half-life value among all periods. The post-crisis model is found that has better forecast performances compared to whole period model.
Decline of Spectacled Eiders Nesting in Western Alaska

Spectacled eider ( Somateria fischeri ) populations in western Alaska are now less than 4% of the numbers estimated in the early 1970s. In 1992, an estimated 1721 nesting pairs remained on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. Causes of this rapid and continuing decline of -14% per year are undocumented. Many aspects of spectacled eider biology remain unknown, including their marine foraging habitats, food items, migratory movements, and population ecology. A review of some biological characteristics and possible threats to the species suggests the importance of quantifying potential impacts from parasites and disease, subsistence harvest, predation during brood rearing, and alteration of Bering Sea food resources. Factors causing the population decline of spectacled eiders must be determined and appropriate actions taken to reverse the trend. Key words: Alaska, declining species, Somateria fischeri , spectacled eider, waterfowl, Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta
The gastrocnemius muscle stiffness and human balance stability

The aim of this study was to assess the depend-ence of postural stability on stiffness of the leg muscles. The stiffness of medial head of the relaxed and actively contracted gastrocnemius muscle was measured. The pos-turogram was registered during quite standing with relaxed and actively contracted leg muscles. The contraction of the leg muscles significantly increased maximal shift of center of pressure (COP) in transverse and sagittal direction, the mean velocity of COP, and muscle stiffness. Multiresolu-tion analysis based on discrete wavelet transform using 4th order Daubechie family wavelets was used for COP signal decomposition. The power of component of higher fre-quency significantly increased with active maximum con-traction of the leg muscles. Therefore, COP oscillation frequency tends to be higher when subject actively con-tracts the leg muscles. High correlation observed between muscle stiffness and mean velocity. High coefficient of determination was established between the power of com-ponent and mean velocity in high frequency scale. Thus it can be stated, that active leg muscle contraction increases muscle stiffness and decreases postural stability during quiet stance; also it increases COP oscillations in high fre-quency scales.
Effects of Cimetidine and Bromocriptine on germinal epithelium and Spermatogenesis

Cimetidine is a potent histaminic H2-receptor antagonist extensively prescribed for ulcers. It has also known as reproductive toxicant as indicated by significantly reduced weight of accessory sex organs and is responsible for sexual dysfunction. The present study was designed to investigate the influence of parenterally administered drugs cimetidine and bromocriptine on the germinal epithelium of adult male albino rats and its relation with spermatogenesis. Ninety adult young male albino rats between the ages of 60 to 120 days were selected for the study and divided into three groups as Group A, B & C. The spermatogenesis was normal in almost all of the tubules of group B but a few of them were seen lined with only Sertoli cells and all the other germ cells like spermatogonia, primary spermatocyes, spermatids early and late, and spermatozoa were absent indicating total atrophy with both Sertoli cells and Leydig cells hyperplasia. However, the seminiferous tubules of group C were showing disorganisation/ disruption or both at the level of basal compartment of germinal epithelium in small quadrants, a quarter, half or more than half of their tubules indicating partial atrophy. Both normal and abnormal germinal epithelium was seen in same/different tubules but a few of them were seen lined with only Sertoli cells and all the other germ cells like spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes, spermatids early and late, and spermatozoa were absent. From our findings, we could not exclude the possibility that besides the known anti-androgenic effect of cimetidine, a possible interference of cimetidine on the histoarchitecture of the seminiferous epithelium, as well as lack of other biochemical factors essential for spermatogenesis could be involved in the testicular changes/ alterations of both groups B and C.
Determination of Yield and Yield Components of Vetch and Cereal Mixture and Evaluation Using by GGE-Biplot Analysis

This study was carried out to determine forage and seed yield and its effecting component in different vetch and cereal mixtures, ecological condition of Tekirdag-Thrace region of Turkey. The study was conducted using a total 5 vetch and cereals varieties includes three different vetch species orakefe, Hungarian vetch species sariefe, narbon vetch candidate variety 570, two different cereals (barley variety scarpia, oat variety sebat) and their mixture combinations, each species were sown as sole, double and triple mixtures (8 combinations for each genotype) a randomized complete block design with 3 replications was laid out on 2013-2015 growing season. Eight mixture combinations for each genotype (common vetch, Hungarian vetch, Narbon vetch, barley and oat) were evaluated for yield and major plant structural characteristics. Genotype-Trait (GT) biplot analyses were used. Applying type of analyses to the multiple trait data revealed that GT biplot graphically displayed the interrelationships among traits and facilitated visual comparison of mixtures and selection for each genotype. Wide variation was observed for traits plant structure and components (plant height, branch number and pod number/plant, 1000 seed weight, individual genotype ratio). It was found that; seed yield, 1000 seed weight, plant height, branch and pod number /plant were the highest value in pure stand NV570. In addition (570+sebat) had maximum dry forage yield, sariefe as pure stand has the maximum plant height and seed yield value. On the other had sariefe+scarpia combination showed very high value for pod number/plant, branch number/plant and fresh and dry forage yield. Pure stand scarpia was the best performer in seed yield. CV+NV+scarpia had the highest 1000 seed weight, fresh and dry forage yield. Maximum planth height was determined from sebat+scarpia, CV+O+B and CV+HV+B combinations. Favorable seed yield and 1000 seed weight value was produced under pure stand sebat seeding. Intercrop NV570+O combination had the higher fresh and dry forage yield. CV+HV+O, CV+NV+O and CV+B+O combination had the highest plant height of sebat.
How to Apply the Fundamental Parameters Method to the Quantitative X-ray Fluorescence Analysis of Geological Materials

The X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis of geological materials requires a robust analytical method because a large variety of elements to determine can be present in each sample and the concentration range of each one can be very large. In order to extract the maximum accuracy from the measured XRF intensities, a Fundamental Parameters (FP) method is proposed, but an adapted one to such an analytical context. The proposed adapted FP method consists of an appropriate sample preparation, a unique concentration calculation method and calibration procedure. It includes also a management of volatile components.
Constructive interpretation with examples from interpretation of floor plans

This paper describes the role that interpretation plays in facilitating situated design and presents an implementation that demonstrates a system interpreting floor plans. Designers often see more in what they produce than they intentionally put there. Cognitive studies suggest that this helps develop design ideas. Interpretation is described as the use of expectations to construct an internal representation of an external representation (such as a sketch). An implementation of this notion of interpretation is described. As an example of its capability the system, primed on floor plans, looks at a randomly generated image and can find a floor plan within it. The system produces different results with the same image if it has different expectations. This is used to discuss the notions of a space of possible designs and the two-way relationship between expectations informing interpretation and interpretation changing the expectations (design ideas) of a designer. Further work is suggested and the ideas are discussed.
Anti-Helicobacter pylori Activity of Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench (okra): An in vitro Study

The anti-Helicobacter pylori activity of the methanol and hexane extracts of Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench (okra) dried fruits were evaluated on forty-one clinical isolates and a standard ATCC 43504 strain by the use of agar well diffusion technique. The methanol extract of A. esculentus showed A. esculentus L. Moench (okra) dried fruit had inhibitory effects against Helicobacter strains; with diameters zone of inhibition between 13 and 28 mm on 32 out of the 42 isolates tested. No noticeable zone of inhibition was observed from the hexane extract of the tested plant on all the H. pylori strains tested. The bioactive methanol extract of A. esculentus demonstrated A. esculentus L. Moench (okra) dried fruit had Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values of 70 to 85 mg mL-1 on selected susceptible strains except H. pylori AT CC 43504 which had MIC value of 250 mg mL-1. The time-kill study of the methanol extract of A. esculentus on H. pylori BAA009, H. pylori BAA026 and H. pylori ATCC 43504, revealed a decline in the surviving population of the organisms after 8 h of exposure to the methanol extracts of A. esculentus L. Moench dried fruit at doses equivalent to MIC2 × MIC and 4 × MIC, and a total kill of the population at 24 h. Therefore, alternative antimicrobial agents may be isolated from further bioassay-guided fractionation of edibles such as A. esculentus L. Moench for the treatment of H. pylori infections, especially as they are readily available.
Endothelium at a Glance

Exposed to the blood milieu and variable hemodynamic forces, endothelial cells of different vessels exhibit significant heterogeneity, directing also the variety of endothelial functions. Endothelial cells are actively involved in many physiological processes, including vascular tone regulation, fluid filtration and reabsorption processes, maintenance of blood fluidity and proper hemostasis, leucocyte trafficking, tissue repair, and angiogenesis; accordingly, healthy endothelium is crucial for vascular homeostasis. On the other hand, many exoand endogenous harmful factors can cause endothelial dysfunction, associated with inflammation, thrombosis, pathological vascular wall remodeling, and predisposing to the development of cardiovascular and other diseases. In order to design accurate clinical and pharmacological strategies to postpone or ameliorate endothelial dysfunction, endothelial dysfunction should firstly be recognized. Therefore, understanding endothelial physiology is crucial for clinical measures to be timely taken. The review briefly outlines some basic concepts of endothelial structure and function, focusing on endothelial barrier function and endothelium-dependent vasodilation, and addressing some potential therapeutic targets. Additional specific concepts of endothelial (dys)function, with particular emphasis on its involvement in inflammation, hemostasis, and its (mal)adaptation to environmental challenges are extensively described in the following book chapters.
Duty to God/my Dharma/Allah/Waheguru: diverse youthful religiosities and the politics and performance of informal worship

This paper draws on a case study of the Scout Movement in the UK to explore the everyday, informal expressions of ‘worship’ by young people that occur outside of ‘designated’ religious spaces and the politics of these performances over time. In analysing the explicit geographies of how young people in UK scouting perform their ‘duty to God’ (or Dharma and so forth), it is argued that a more expanded concept of everyday and embodied worship is needed. This paper also attends to recent calls for more critical historical geographies of religion, drawing on archival data to examine the organisation's relationship with religion over time and in doing so contributes new insights into the production of youthful religiosities and re-thinking their designated domains.
Conjugate heat transfer in a two stage trapezoidal cavity stack

The flow pattern and heat transfer in a pair of cavities stacked one over the other, with a separating solid plate in between, are numerically studied. The configuration idealizes two trays in a multiple effect desalinator. The work focuses on the computational modeling of the two conjugate recir- culations in the cavities, conductively coupled through the thin separating plate. The effect of the plate physical parameters, thickness and conductiv- ity, on the heat transfer are also analyzed. Plates made of glass, steel and aluminum of 2, 3, 4 and 6 mm are studied. Cavity flow and temperature pat- terns, depicted by streamlines, velocity fields, and isotherms are analyzed for steady state. Attention was paid to the temperature variation over, and heat flow through the separating plate. Global Nusselt numbers are calculated for the bottom side of the lower cavity. Data are obtained for air as the work- ing fluid (Pr=0.7) in the range 10 3
Monitoring Luminous Yellow Massive Stars in M33: New Yellow Hypergiant Candidates

The evolution of massive stars surviving the red supergiant (RSG) stage remains unexplored due to the rarity of such objects. The yellow hypergiants (YHGs) appear to be the warm counterparts of post-RSG classes located near the Humphreys-Davidson upper luminosity limit, which are characterized by atmospheric instability and high mass-loss rates. We aim to increase the number of YHGs in M33 and thus to contribute to a better understanding of the pre-supernova evolution of massive stars. Optical spectroscopy of five dust-enshrouded YSGs selected from mid-IR criteria was obtained with the goal of detecting evidence of extensive atmospheres. We also analyzed BVI photometry for 21 of the most luminous YSGs in M33 to identify changes in the spectral type. To explore the properties of circumstellar dust, we performed SED-fitting of multi-band photometry of the 21 YSGs. We find three luminous YSGs in our sample to be YHG candidates, as they are surrounded by hot dust and are enshrouded within extended, cold dusty envelopes. Our spectroscopy of star 2 shows emission of more than one H$\alpha$ component, as well as emission of CaII, implying an extended atmospheric structure. In addition, the long-term monitoring of the star reveals a dimming in the visual light curve of amplitude larger than 0.5 mag that caused an apparent drop in the temperature that exceeded 500 K. We suggest the observed variability to be analogous to that of the Galactic YHG $\rho$ Cas. Five less luminous YSGs are suggested as post-RSG candidates showing evidence of hot or/and cool dust emission. We demonstrate that mid-IR photometry, combined with optical spectroscopy and time-series photometry, provide a robust method for identifying candidate YHGs. Future discovery of YHGs in Local Group galaxies is critical for the study of the late evolution of intermediate-mass massive stars.

Protective effect of rhMG53 protein on a focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in a rat model

Objective To identify the protective effect of rhMG53 (exogenous recombinant human MG53 protein) on focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in a rat model. Methods The cerebral ischemia reperfusion model was reproduced in SD rats using middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) method, and the rats were then randomly divided into sham operation group, ischemia reperfusion group, and ischemia reperfusion+rhMG53 group (n=7). The Zea-Longa score of nervous system, brain tissue TTC staining and pathological sections were observed. Result Compared with the ischemia reperfusion group, nerve dysfunction was improved obviously in ischemia reperfusion+rhMG53 group. The area of cerebral infarction was reduced, and the extent of brain tissue necrosis was alleviated. Furthermore, the protective effect showed a relation with the treatment time. The time-window of effective protection of exogenous rhMG53 on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury was within 4 hours. Conclusion The exogenous rhMG53 may have an effective protective effect on focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. DOI: 10.11855/j.issn. 0577-7402.2014. 06.03
CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT FOR COLOR IMAGES USING AN ADJUSTABLE CONTRAST STRETCHING TECHNIQUE

With the growing demand for high-quality color images, efficient yet low-complexity methods are increasingly needed for better visualization. Unfortunately, the low-contrast is one prevalent effect that degrades color images due to various unavoidable limitations. Hence, a new adjustable contrast stretching technique is proposed in this article to improve the contrast of color images. The processing scheme of the proposed technique is relatively simple. It starts by converting the input color image to grayscale. Then, it automatically computes two contrast tuning parameters depending on the pre-determined grayscale image. Finally, it improves the contrast of the degraded color image using an amended version of an existing contrast stretching technique. Accordingly, its input is a color image and a contrast adjustment parameter δ, while its output is a contrast-adjusted color image. The proposed technique is tested by conducting intensive experiments on real-degraded images, and it is compared with four well-known contrast enhancement techniques. In addition, the proposed and comparative techniques are evaluated based on three eminent no-reference image quality assessment metrics. From the performance analysis of the achieved experiments and comparisons, the proposed technique provided satisfying performances and outperformed the comparative techniques in terms of recorded accuracy and perceived quality.
