Published: June 2023

Peanut, sesame, lentil and cowpea are protein-rich legumes widely consumed in the human diet. However, some so-called allergenic proteins are capable of causing adverse reactions in genetically predisposed individuals. They contain portions consisting of contiguous linear segments of amino acids involved in binding with specific IgE. They also have three-dimensional conformational patterns that crosslink with antibodies from susceptible individuals. In this work, the identity and similarity between certain allergenic proteins of peanut, lentil, sesame and cowpea are studied by global alignment. The latter is carried out on 35 allergenic proteins (14 from peanut, 4 from sesame, 9 from lentil and 8 from cowpea) using the EMBOSS Needle software which uses the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm and assigns scores to the pairs of amino acids aligned using a specific BLOSUM substitution matrix. For statistical analysis, the dependency test and the chi-square test are used in GraphPad Prism. The results show that the overall alignment between allergenic proteins from the same food (Sesame - Sesame) and different foods (Peanut - Sesame, Peanut - Lentil, Sesame - Lentil, and Sesame - Cowpea) has low identity and similarity. The overall alignment between the allergenic proteins of the same food (Peanut – Peanut, Lentil – Lentil and Cowpea - Cowpea) and of different foods (Peanut – Cowpea and Lentil - Cowpea) shows a high identity and similarity, relative to the result of the chi-square test (P<0.0001) The possibility of cross-reactivity between cowpea – peanut and cowpea - lentil is shown.

Günümüz sensör teknolojilerinin gelişimi ile saptanan veri çeşitliliği ve doğruluk oranları önemli oranda artmıştır. Tespit edilen verilerin çeşitliliği ve doğruluk oranlarının yüksek olmasıyla da yönetim algoritmalarının yetenekleri gelişmiş olup günlük yaşamımıza olumlu olarak çeşitli alanlarda yansımaktadır. Sinyalize kavşaklarda genel olarak sabit süreli sinyalizasyon sistemleri kullanılmaktadır. Ancak, son yıllarda trafik ile ilgili veri toplayan sensörler daha da geliştikçe yarı trafik uyarmalı, tam trafik uyarmalı ve adaptif trafik sinyalizasyon sistemleri yaygınlaşmaya başlamıştır. Araç sayısı, araç algılamaları, kuyruklanma, ortalama hız gibi trafik parametrelerine göre sinyalize kavşaktaki yeşil sürelerinin adaptif yönetilmesi gecikme, ortalama hız ve durma sayısı gibi önemli parametrelere olumlu yansımaktadır. Bu çalışmada örnek bir sinyalize kavşaktaki gerçek trafik verileri kullanılarak Aimsun simülasyon programı üzerinde simülasyon modellemesi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca, bu sinyalize kavşak tam trafik uyarmalı olarak işletilerek kavşaktaki iyileşme yüzdeleri saptanmıştır. Tekirdağ il sınırları içerisinde yer alan ve günlük yaklaşık 30.000 adet araç geçen Santral Kavşağı’ndaki tam trafik uyarmalı sinyalizasyon yönetimi simülasyon çalışması sonucunda gecikmelerin ortalama %27,72 azaldığı, ortalama hızın ortalama %27,31 arttığı ve durma sayısının ortalama %25,54 azaldığı tespit edilmiştir.

Published: June 2023

Improper disposal of significant quantities of waste materials, such as Rice Husk Ash (RHA) and Waste Engine Oil (WEO), poses a significant environmental risk through water and air pollution. Moreover, the limited availability of disposal space adds to the concerns surrounding their safe management. However, an alternative approach involves incorporating these waste materials as additives in asphalt binder, offering not only improved binder properties but also a means to address environmental issues. This study focuses on the modification of the binder by introducing different proportions (2%, 4%, and 6%) of Rice Husk Ash with Waste Engine Oil (2% and 4%). Through a range of tests, including conventional tests, the Bitumen Bond Strength test, Rolling Bottle test, and multiple stress creep recovery test, the modified binder specimens were evaluated for adhesion, moisture susceptibility, and elastic recovery. The experimental findings highlight that a bitumen mixture consisting of 6% Rice Husk Ash and 2% Waste Engine Oil, relative to the binder's weight, demonstrates superior adhesion, moisture susceptibility, and elastic recovery compared to the original binder. This innovative approach offers a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution for reusing Rice Husk Ash and Waste Engine Oil.

Published: June 2023

The dissemination of chemical components into the environment might provoke harm to human health, animal species and the ecosystem. In order to reduce the negative effects of those pollutants, physico-chemical treatment procedures, namely the adsorption technique has been implemented. This study seeks to synthesize manufactured nanomaterials throughout a co-precipitation process such as nanoparticles (Ferrihydrite (Fh)) and nanocomposite magnetic iron (magnetite / activated carbon) capable of adsorbing certain inorganic species (heavy metals) such as hexavalent chromium Cr (VI). The prepared supports were characterized by IRTF analysis. The influence of the various experimental parameters (the initial concentration and the contact time) have been studied. Various isothermal models have been applied, namely Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and BET. The study of those absorption isotherms has shown that Langmuir’s model describes better Cr (VI) adsorption. It has been also noticed that the adsorption process on the Fh follows a pseudo 2nd order kinetics for the hexavalent chromium. The experimental results have proved that equilibrium is reached after 15 minutes with a better yield of 99.511% and a maximum retention capacity of 40.9157 mg / g.

Published: June 2023

Double sided shielded metal arc welded joint has wide applications in fabrication sector for production of critical joints but the root pass in those joint leads to many defects, mainly due to the sudden cooling because the adjacent base material is at room temperature in the start of welding and compromises the quality of the weldments. In the fabrication industry, root pass removal is a routine practice for producing quality joints using grinding and air carbon arc gouging. In this research, comparative study of cost-effectiveness and defects analysis of the above root pass removal procedures have applied to the double-v mild steel shielded metal arc welded joint for the selection of better procedure. For cost calculation of joints, labor cost (LC), energy cost (EC), material cost (MC) and overhead cost taken into account and defects examined by the visual inspection, liquid penetrant test, radiographic test and optical microscope. The results showed overall 4.7% lower cost and enhanced quality in terms of macro/micro-defects for ground joint. The major contribution to the lower cost of ground joint has given by the consumables and energy but in defects analysis, only width difference in both sides’ reinforcement i.e., front and back have observed for gouged joint and relatively more numbers of micro-defects.

Using a steer-into-the-fall based control law to stabilize a pedelec
Authors: Hanakam Yannick , Wrede Jürgen , Pfeiffer Martin , Hillenbrand Stefan
Published: June 2023

Despite having complex dynamics, a bicycle can be stabilized easily by steering into the direction the bicycle leans, also known as steer-into-the-fall. Although this can be a difficult task for the cyclist, this basic control law can easily be implemented by a technical system to help the cyclist to stabilize the bicycle. As several studies on bicycle dynamics show, at least theoretically in simulations, a proportional controller based on the steer-into-the-fall principle is sufficient to stabilize a bicycle (Åström et al., 2005; Schwab et al., 2008). A steering assistance system consisting of a proportional controller and an electric motor applying torque to the handlebars can provide steering assistance and thus help stabilizing the bicycle. However, the design of a proportional controller working in parallel with the rider can be tricky. To prevent the cyclist from being irritated, the natural steering behavior of the bicycle must be affected as little as possible by the steering interventions. In addition, the cyclist always must be in control of the handlebars.
In this study, we propose a control strategy based on a proportional controller that is designed using classical control engineering methods. Used in a pedelec with a prototype steering assistance system, this study investigates the effect of the controller on the stability of the pedelec and the impact of the steering interventions on the cyclist's riding experience.

Published: June 2023

Introducción: Los informes epidemiológicos del periodo 2008-2010, mostraron que el consumo de marihuana detectado en centros de tratamientos de la provincia de Mendoza, eran prevalentemente superiores a la media nacional, similar prevalencia se observó en el consumo de cocaína en los pacientes institucionalizados, también por encima de la media nacional. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de consumo de drogas de consumo en una población de jóvenes mendocinos y evaluar la fortaleza diagnóstica de los tests preocupacionales para detectar tendencias de consumo. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, transversal. Se determinó la presencia de drogas de abuso (THC, Cocaína, Opioides, MDMA y Anfetaminas) en muestras de orina de 2372 postulantes a ingresar al Ejército Argentino, su caracterización demográfica y los resultados del test Bender para examen pre-ocupacional. Resultados: Se encontró una prevalencia de consumo de drogas de abuso del 10,5% de las muestras analizadas, siendo el 68,5% de las mismas positivas para THC, el 18% para COC, el 11,5% para la combinación de ambas y el 2% para MDMA. El distrito de Las Heras presentó la prevalencia de consumo más alta (21,5%). Se observó una baja sensibilidad y especificidad diagnóstica del Test Bender para las tendencias de consumo.  Conclusiones: La determinación de drogas de consumo en la orina de los jóvenes mendocinos arrojó prevalencias mayores que las determinadas por medio de encuestas/cuestionarios. La sustancia más prevalente de consumo diagnosticada fueron los cannabinoides (THC) y su consumo estaría relacionado con el poder adquisitivo y medio socio-económico de los consumidores. La baja robustez diagnóstica del Test Bender para predecir hábitos de consumo debería ser reformulada en los test pre ocupacionales.

Solution-Focused Zone of Proximal Development: A Vygotskyan Contribution to Solution-Focused Therapy 🇨🇳 🇹🇼 🇫🇷
Authors: Freeman Stephanie
Published: June 2023

This theoretical paper explores the possibility of combining principles of solution-focused therapy with theories of learning and development by the psychologist Lev Vygotsky, whose thinking led to the development of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory. The similarities and complementaries between these traditions merit attention. Further, SFT has been characterized as an eclectic and constantly evolving approach, the theoretical and philosophical foundations of which are somewhat scattered. Hence, the article attempts to redefine the philosophical and theoretical location of SFT through a “Vygotskyan and CHAT-informed” lens. Since the emphasis in SFT seems to be on the identification and detailed description of the client’s skills, the author offers a new view of SFT as a pragmatic version of social constructionism. Based on Vygotsky's concepts of 'cultural mediation and 'the zone of proximal development', the author proposes a new concept, namely solution-focused zone of proximal development. The concept highlights learning-in-SFT as an optimally designed non-individualistic and expansive process, leading to empowered independence and creativity.

In 2020 the Journal of Solution Focused Practices published an article called Steve de Shazer’s Theory Development. This surveyed the whole of de Shazer’s career, which the authors divided into four phases, from which they distilled six axioms they believe are foundational to de Shazer’s thinking and practice. In their commentary on the six axioms there is a considerable emphasis on the distinctiveness of SFBT, which the authors are keen to establish as different, in each of its foundational aspects, from most or perhaps all other therapies. This article is a response to this particular aspect of Steve de Shazer’s Theory Development. It suggests that, in comparing different approaches in the field, it is possible to construct both narratives of distinctiveness and narratives of similarity and connection. Some arguments for developing more narratives of similarity and connection are advanced.

The Psychometric of the Adult Resilience Doughnut Model, a Solution Focused, Ecological Model of Resilience 🇦🇲 🇨🇳 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇳🇴 🇵🇱 🇷🇴
Authors: Worsley Lyn , Hjemdal Odin
Published: June 2023

The Resilience Doughnut is an ecological and Solution Focused model showing the interaction of resources that build resilience during a person’s lifetime. In order to statistically validate the model, a 44-item scale (RDA) was developed and tested with 859 adults. Reliability was explored showing a very good fit α = 0.92 and a good representation of the research constructs. All seven resource strengths of the RDA showed negative correlation with each of the subscales of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress scale (DASS). While those in the moderate to severe depression symptoms range reported less than three resource strengths, those with mild to no depressive symptoms reported over three resource strengths scoring above the mean. The findings support strength-based interventions which focus on developing contextual and relational strengths as a way of impacting mental health outcomes.

Steve De Shazer’s Theory Development 🇨🇳 🇹🇼 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 🇷🇺 🇪🇸 🇸🇪
Authors: Korman Harry , De Jong Peter , Jordan Sara Smock
Published: June 2023

This paper traces developments in Steve de Shazer’s theoretical thinking from 1969 until his passing in 2005. After reviewing his definition of “theory,” we organize developments in his theorizing into 4 phases, distilling from each the axioms he continued to hold until his death. For each axiom, we indicate how it is foundational to an understanding of SFBT and, therefore, contributes to distinguishing SFBT from other talk therapies. We stay close to de Shazer’s writings by frequently quoting from his many articles and 6 books. We conclude with a summary of what we believe are the 6 enduring axioms of his theory of SFBT, the striking features of how he developed his theories over the years and the new lens he left us for viewing therapy interactions, and one example of research that promises to expand his theoretical legacy.

Evaluating the Solution Focused Wellness for HIV Intervention for Women: A Pilot Study 🇨🇳 🇹🇼 🇫🇷 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 🇷🇺 🇪🇸
Authors: Yates Helen T , Mowbray Orion
Published: June 2023

Women living with HIV experience a gender gap in wellness outcomes in the U.S., and women of color are particularly vulnerable to this gap. To address this, the Solution Focused Wellness for HIV (SFWH) intervention for women was created. In this paper, we report the quantitative results of the most recent SFWH pilot study. The seven-session, group intervention was provided to (N=14) women living with HIV to evaluate it for effectiveness. Results showed the intervention was associated with significant multidimensional wellness improvements between baseline and five-week follow up. Participants’ CD4 and Viral Load counts did not change significantly. To improve access to the intervention and increase retention in HIV care in the community, further adaptations of the SFWH are planned.

Fidelity Monitoring in the Solution Focused Wellness for HIV (SFWH) Intervention for Women 🇨🇳 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇮🇷 🇪🇸
Authors: Yates Helen Taylor , Lee Spencer Elise
Published: June 2023

Solution Focused methods are often interpreted by different practitioners with a degree of flexibility and adaptation to specific practice settings (Lehmann & Patton, 2012). This flexibility is one of the features that makes SFBT a very client-centered approach and has been highlighted as one of the key aspects of successful co-construction of desired outcomes with clients (Franklin et al., 2017). This collaborative approach is possible due to SFBT’s utilization of social constructionist principals in the solution-building process (Blundo & Simon, 2015). While encouraging flexibility of implementation of SFBT, identifying the main tenets of the therapy, including specific techniques and mindsets is helpful to researchers who are interested in determining SFBT’s success in certain clinical and research efforts (Lehmann & Patton; Trepper et al., 2012). To help with this process, members of the Solution Focused Brief Therapy Association (SFBTA) created a treatment manual that outlined these major tenants to serve as a guide and to reach a consensus about how to understand and implement SFBT (Trepper et al.). In publishing their SFBT fidelity instrument, Lehmann and Patton recommended that the field of SFBT focus more seriously on the issues of treatment fidelity in SFBT practice and research. However, continued discussion on the topic has been limited in the peer-reviewed, published SFBT literature. To continue this discussion among SFBT researchers and practitioners, the process for planning, monitoring and reporting fidelity to SFBT in the Solution Focused Wellness for HIV Intervention for women (SFWH) will be presented. The SFWH fidelity monitoring process will be explained in the context of both common SFBT fidelity processes and the latest accepted behavioral intervention research guidelines for the fidelity process.

It Will Never Be the Same Again

Published: June 2023

This paper describes the Conversations Led by Clients (CoLeC) model as practiced at several Bulgarian and Russian helping institutions as a development of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). The model emphasizes therapeutic conversations as something that has to follow step by step from the clients’ enquiries. The questions include the mind-activating Question (MAQ): What do you think is the most useful question you can hear from me now? (or at our next session?); the time-oriented question: What do you think is most useful to talk about now: past, present or future?; the multiple-choice question: Which of these questions do you think is best for you right now? (from a list provided by the therapist); and the delayed-answers question: If client has no current answer, ask them to think about the question until the next session and propose self-questioning activities. CoLeC, being a step beyond some therapeutic models, is an initial effort to assist helping professionals find answers to this quite different question, “How should this client’s conversation with me be?” This makes it the beginning of a qualitatively new attitude to what we, as professionals, do. We hope that many, young and new to the profession, will not only join in, but also help further this way of thinking and doing as we see these types of conversations with clients, useful.
Solution Focused Therapy for Trauma Survivors: A Review of the Outcome Literature
Authors: Eads Ray , Lee Mo Yee
Published: June 2023

Directly confronting and processing past trauma can be distressing for clients and may contribute to the high dropout rates among leading trauma treatments. Solution-focused therapy (SFT) primarily focuses on the present and future and has been proposed as a strengths-based alternative for treating trauma survivors. This review systematically evaluated the existing outcome literature for the effectiveness of SFT for trauma survivors. Multiple databases were searched using search terms to identify results for solution-focused therapy as a treatment for trauma survivors. Eligible studies included experimental, quasi-experimental, or pre-post designs that reported outcome measures following SFT-based treatment. A total of five studies met inclusion criteria and were evaluated and summarized. Four out of the five studies included data on within-subjects changes in the SFT treatment group, reporting statistically significant improvements on trauma symptoms, recovery, self-esteem, and parenting, with moderate to large effect sizes. Three studies compared SFT with treatment-as- usual (TAU) or no treatment and found mixed results. Compared to control groups, SFT showed statistically significant improvements with large effect sizes on post-traumatic growth and sleep issues, but effect sizes for trauma symptoms were small and not statistically significant or varied greatly between different reporters. The existing literature provides initial evidence of overall improvement for trauma survivors who received SFT, but the effectiveness of SFT at addressing trauma symptoms requires further investigation. More high quality, controlled studies are needed to evaluate SFT as a trauma treatment.
