Nowadays wind energy is one of the most important and promising sources of environmentally clean renewable energy. Wind turbine blades are among the most expensive components. Depending on the size, their manufacturing costs range between 10 % and 20 % of total manufacturing costs. Moreover, the size of blades has increased in recent years, leading to greater efficiency and energy production, but presenting higher failure probability. It is extremely important to avoid critical blade failures, because when damaged blades liberate, they have the potential to damage not only the turbines they were attached to, but also other turbines in their vicinity. In order to increase the reliability and safety of wind turbine operation, as well as to reduce costs due to maintenance and downtime in a non-working state, it is necessary to apply modern methods of monitoring the condition of large-sized and highly loaded parts of wind power plants using information technologies. The main types of defects and their classification are considered. The influence of the rotation speed of the turbine and the presence of a damage in the blade on the oscillation natural frequencies was analyzed. The main types and methods of non-destructive testing (NDT) are presented. The acoustic method is considered in detail, as it is rapidly developing and is promising for the field of green energy. The classification of acoustic methods of NDT is provided based on the studied literature. An analytical review of publications considering NDT methods for diagnosing wind turbine blades, including the ones which use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), was conducted. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are shown. The analysis of NDT approach of wind power plants using machine learning based on Gaussian processes to predict natural frequencies of one blade based on the statistical data of the distribution of natural frequencies of neighboring blades and ambient temperature was carried out. The description of the full cycle of the system's functioning, from data collection to decision-making about the possible presence of a defect in the structure, is provided. This paper has summarized and analyzed the most important advances done in the field of NDT in the last few years. The considered approaches can serve as a basis for building new highly reliable methods for detecting dangerous defects in the blade material at the early stages of their development.

In the contemporary epoch, the management and visualization of geospatial information in web browsers have gained substantial importance. Web maps are indispensable tools across various tourism, goods delivery, and ecology sectors. Furthermore, the extensive support of web browsers on diverse devices enhances the accessibility of geospatial data on the web for various users. However, the incessant increment of geospatial information poses new challenges in efficiently displaying data and navigation through these data on web maps. Therefore, the clustering of geospatial data is crucial in dealing with them. Different clustering methods may affect the performance or visual clarity of web maps. To improve the user experience and optimize the use of computing resources, geodata clustering becomes a necessary tool for processing large volumes of markers on the map. Despite significant progress in the development of geodata clustering solutions in web maps, there are some challenges that developers and users may encounter. In this article, challenges with scaling, dynamic cluster data, and heterogeneity of data are described. Existing problems in geodata clustering in web maps require additional research and development. Understanding these issues will help developers and researchers improve existing solutions and create new methods and approaches for efficient clustering of geodata in web maps. The urgency of solving the problem lies in the search for effective clustering solutions that provide an opportunity to ensure convenient interactivity and fast processing of geodata in web maps. This study provides a comprehensive review of data types and clustering methods. Tools and libraries for geodata clustering in web maps are analyzed. Different types of geodata and approaches to working with them were also studied. Concepts such as semi-static data and their positions alongside static and dynamic data types are elucidated. Through the analysis, optimal scenarios for applying specific clustering methods or the utilization of server-side clustering approaches have been identified. Conclusions have also been drawn on the preferred approach when handling extensive volumes of static or semi-static geospatial data, particularly advocating for the application of server-side clustering with caching. In conclusion, various clustering approaches in web maps, both client-side and server-side, have been scrutinized. The advantages and disadvantages of both approaches, along with recommendations on when to apply each method, have been delineated. A noticeable absence of explicit approaches in clustering vast geospatial data for web map representation underpins the relevance and necessity of research in this direction.

Aquatic productivity is the most basic trophic level in every aquatic ecosystem. Lake Dringo is a protected area and one of the highest lakes on the island of Java. Ecosystem balance can be seen from the study of water productivity. The purpose of this study was to determine the primary productivity and secondary productivity of waters in the Lake Dringo Nature Reserve, Central Java. The purposive sampling method was used in this study by establishing five stations and three replications at each station. The combination of primary and secondary productivity has a total abundance of 22,491-38,556 ind/liter. The highest abundance was Chlorophyta at 33% while the lowest abundance was Rotifera at 4%. This shows that there is no species dominance so that the primary productivity of the waters is still good.

Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) gas is quite risky and harmful for the tannery industry workers in Bangladesh. A proper measurement or assessment of this risk will help policymakers make crucial policy decisions, which will surely help the continued positive growth of this industry. This study has three specific objectives: identifying potential sources of hydrogen sulfide gas generation, assessing the root causes of hydrogen sulfide gas generation, and suggesting proper activities to reduce the impact of hydrogen sulfide gas generation. In order to carry out this study, a qualitative approach has been used, where qualitative data are used to find out the results. It started with reviewing the secondary documents but also included key informant interviews (KIIs), focus group discussions (FGDs), and a sample survey. This study has collected data from 20 different tanneries. Out of 20 tanneries, 80 respondents were selected via the purposive sampling method. Information has been taken from 80 respondents via Key Informant Interviews and Focused Group discussions, where each group consists of a different number of individuals and is selected on the basis of the location of the production process in tanneries. The study has found major sources and causes of H₂S generation. The major sources include the tanning chemical store, pre-tanning (Beam house area), Re-tanning area, Chrome effluent drain, Mix effluent drain, etc. The major causes of H₂S gas generation include intermixing of incompatible chemicals, lack of proper cleanliness, reaction of liming liquors, etc. The study also suggested various measures such as proper ventilation, separating chromium and re-tanning effluent from alkaline effluent, and reducing solid waste.

Published: February 2024

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subgroup of breast cancer with hormone receptor and Her2 overexpression absence, accounting for 15%–20% of all breast cancers. Its unpredictable evolution, poor treatment response, and highly invasive nature warrant research interest. The main objective of this study is to assess the evolution of triple-negative breast cancer as a role for histopronostic factors. We present the evolutionary profile of triple-negative breast cancer in the role of histopronostic factors using data from a four-year retrospective study of cases of triple-negative breast cancer collected in the oncology-radiotherapy department at Chu Ibn Rochd Casablanca between January 2015 and December 2019. 232 patients were included, regardless of disease stage. The mean age was 49.54 ± 11.21 years. In 68% of cases, the disease was localized. All metastatic patients (32%) died, with a median survival of 15 months. We analyzed the evolution of triple-negative breast cancer in localized disease as a role for age, tumor size, histological type, SBR grade, lymph node invasion, and vascular invasion, with a median follow-up of 24 months (2 years). In 158 patients in our series with localized disease, local or locoregional recurrence was noted in 16% of cases, metastatic relapse in 10%, and 30% of cases were still in complete remission. Patients aged between 40 and 50 had a higher rate of local and locoregional recurrence. Patients with tumors between 2 and 6 cm in size had a high rate of metastasis and death. Grade SBR III is generally marked by a poor prognosis, with 39 patients having local or locoregional recurrence, 41 patients having metastases, and 15 patients having died. In our series, the greater the lymph node and vascular invasion, the poorer the prognosis, with a higher risk of recurrence and metastasis. These results support the role of early screening, especially for at-risk patients, adequate therapeutic management, and active surveillance of patients with triple-negative breast cancer. New research has shown the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors and anti-parp in treating advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), with encouraging findings indicating their potential benefit. Clinical studies including anatomical pathologists, oncologists, and fundamental researchers must be conducted globally to achieve this. Clinical studies involving pathologists, oncologists, and basic researchers are needed worldwide to define new therapeutic strategies for the management of this type of aggressive breast cancer.

Authors: Mahdi Karar Abdulzahra , Hanweet Dunya Malhan , Al-Mudhafar Muhassad H.
Published: February 2024

Background: Aphthous ulcers (AU) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) are conditions marked by inflammation, with Interleukin 8 (IL-8) playing a significant role in their pathogenesis. This study aims to evaluate the levels of IL-8 in saliva among individuals with AU, RA, both conditions and healthy controls, providing insights into its potential as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target.
Methods: The study, endorsed by the Ethics Committee of the University of Kufa, College of Dentistry, Department of Oral Pathology, employed a descriptive, analytical, and cross-sectional approach. Participants included patients with AU, RA, both conditions and a control group, totalling 94 individuals. Exclusion criteria encompassed medication use, other systemic conditions, and lifestyle factors like smoking. Saliva and blood samples were collected for IL-8 concentration measurement using ELISA and for Rheumatoid Factor (RF) and anti-CCP analysis.
Results: Analysis showed the highest average salivary IL-8 levels in patients with both AU and RA (483.33 ± 141.20 pg/mL), followed by the RA group (338.57 ± 79.11 pg/mL), the AU group (381 ± 108.48 pg/mL), and the control group (213.69 ± 84.65 pg/mL). Significant differences in IL-8 levels were observed between these groups, with the combined AU and RA groups showing the highest concentrations. However, the variation in IL-8 levels between those who have both AU and RA and those with only RA was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: The study highlights a distinct elevation in salivary IL-8 levels in patients with AU and RA, particularly in those suffering from both conditions.

Molecular cytogenetic characteristics of small supernumerary marker chromosomes 15 and 22 in asymptomatic carriers
Authors: Yurchenko DA , Markova ZhG , Minzhenkova ME , Vorontsova EO , Shilova NV
Published: February 2024

Small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC) are structurally abnormal chromosomes that cannot be identified unambiguously by standard cytogenetic methods. A comprehensive approach involving the use of molecular cytogenetic methods is required for the more thorough morphological assessment of such chromosomes, as well as for the development of strategy for genetic counseling of the patients being the sSMC carriers. It is widely accepted that the development of abnormal phenotype by the patients having sSMC in their karyotype is associated with the presence of euchromatic region material in the marker chromosome. Therefore, it results from the presence of relatively large DNA copy number variations (CNVs) in the form of duplication, triplication, and more increased copy numbers; which are localized in the pericentromeric region of the appropriate chromosome. Pericentromeric CNVs can be involved in the chromosome imbalance in asymptomatic carriers of sSMC as well, however, the boundaries of such imbalance have not been clearly identified. The study was aimed to acquire additional information about the genomic topology of the DNA regions insensitive to the genes copy number increase. FISH analysis with commercial and homemade DNA probes was performed in 18 carriers of sSMC 15 and 22 having no clinically significant phenotypic abnormalities. The molecular cytogenetic testing showed that pericentromeric euchromatic regions sized 1.2 Mb and 714 kb, respectively, were found in 33% of cases (6 out of 18). We assume that these regions comprise no potentially dosage-sensitive genes.
Levirate Marriage – An Overview of an Ancient Matrimonial Custom
Authors:   University of Bucharest, Manolache Ioan-Daniel
Published: February 2024

This paper utilizes historical-critical analysis to elucidate the ancient institution of levirate marriage, a type of marital union attested in Assyria, Ugarit, Hatti, ancient Israel, and beyond. It investigates the socio-cultural logic underlying levirate practices as well as their ramifications upon communal dynamics. Through examination of biblical episodes concerning Judah and Tamar along with Boaz and Ruth, two illuminating case studies emerge that reveal the complex interplay of kinship ties, lineage preservation, inheritance rights, and evolving cultural mores governing this marital custom over time. Expanding the historical lens, the study explores post-antiquity manifestations of levirate ideals resurfacing during the Middle Ages and modern period. Yet despite sporadic echoes across human civilization, levirate marriage remains an almost extinct phenomenon today – one largely confined to antiquity. By training a spotlight on ancient Near Eastern sources alongside salient biblical narratives, this investigation unveils the once prominent but now obscure levirate tradition which empowered past generations while also spurring social tensions, informing timeless tropes of sexuality and widowhood, and catalysing legal reforms over successive epochs.

Published: February 2024

In the company, the issuer also wants profit, so expect a high initial price. However, on the part of the underwriters on the contrary, they expect a low initial price because they are bound by the full commitment stock guarantee system that applies in Indonesia. This difference in interests causes the issuer to compromise a bit by setting a lower initial share price so that investors are interested in buying the launched initial shares. As a result, when conducting an initial public offering, the company has difficulty in determining the price because there is no reference so that there is a potential for underpriced shares to occur. This study to analyze the factors that influence the level of undepriced, which is focused on age, return on total assets, financial leverage and firm size. First, the test will be carried out partially with a t-test to test the effect of each factor on the level of underpriced initial shares. Furthermore, the test will be carried out simultaneously with the F-test, namely to test the effect of the four factors together on the level of underpriced initial shares. The population in this study are companies that offer their initial shares on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and have underpricing stock values. The results show that company age has a positive effect on underpriced initial shares, while the return on total assets, financial leverage and firm size variables get the opposite result.

Um die klinischen Aspekte der Personzentrierten Psychotherapie deutlicher abzubilden, sollte deren Therapietheorie erweitert werden, dies jedoch nicht im Sinn einer Ergänzung durch andere Konzepte, sondern im Sinn einer Explikation des implizit Enthaltenen. Eine erste Erweiterung des Konzepts von Rogers kann in Gendlins Experiencing-Theorie gesehen werden. Hier wird die von den Grundeinstellungen des Therapeuten auszulösende Art und Tiefe des inneren Erlebens der Klientin, die für Psychotherapie erforderlich ist, und die von Rogers nicht ausformuliert wurde, voll ausgearbeitet.
Weitere klinische Aspekte werden explizit, wenn – ausgehend von Rogers’ Persönlichkeitstheorie – bedacht wird, dass und auf welche Weisen der Psychotherapeut ermöglichen soll, dass inkongruentes, abwehrendes oder leeres Erleben der Klientin sich zu implizit wirksamem, authentischem Erleben verändern kann. Der Therapeut muss hierbei das Erleben der Klientin im Sinn einer prozessualen Diagnostik wahrnehmen und dieses allmählich mittels hermeneutischer Empathie aus der lebensgeschichtlichen Bedeutung heraus verstehen lernen. Darüber hinaus ist hier auch zu denken an schwer zu verstehende Erlebensformen, wie sie von frühen Störungen und Entwicklungsstagnationen her bedingt sind (u. a. „fragile processes“ nach Warner) sowie an „präsymbolische“ Erlebensformen (nach Prouty). Eine erweiterte personzentrierte Therapietheorie sollte – und dazu wird in diesem Beitrag ein Versuch unternommen – demnach generell darlegen, wie der Therapeut solches Erleben wahrnehmen kann (diagnostisches Moment) und v. a. auf welchen Wegen die Veränderung solchen Erlebens zu implizit wirksamem Experiencing und kongruentem Erleben geschehen kann (Änderungswissen). Darüber hinaus ist auch zu umreißen, welche professionelle Kompetenz der Therapeut aufzuweisen hat, um derartige Veränderungen in der Praxis zu ermöglichen bzw. zu fördern. Diese Kompetenz wird hier v. a. in der Fähigkeit, eine intensive Arbeitsbeziehung herzustellen, sowie in der Fähigkeit, auf vielen verschiedenen Ebenen von Symbolisierung arbeiten zu können, gesehen.
Qualitätskontrolle und Prozessevaluation in der personzentrierten Selbsterfahrungsgruppe: Empirische Ergebnisse
Authors: Speierer Gerd-Walter
Published: February 2024

Gegenstand der Arbeit ist die Frage, in welchem Ausmaß spezifische Ziele der personzentrierten Selbsterfahrungsgruppe erreicht werden. Dazu wurden 172 GruppenteilnehmerInnen von 16 Gruppen mit je 10–15 Personen vor Beginn und nach dem Ende ihrer bis zu 40 Stunden dauernden Gruppenerfahrung sowie nach jeder Gruppensitzung mit empirisch validierten Fragebögen untersucht. Hauptergebnisse sind: 81%– 97% der GruppenteilnehmerInnen erreichen die definierten Ziele der Gruppenarbeit, i. e. therapeutische Eigenerfahrungen, Erfahrung in eigenen hilfreichen Interventionen und hilfreichen Interventionen anderer GruppenteilnehmerInnen sowie persönliche Beziehungserfahrungen. Dazu kommen ausgeprägte spezifische Prozesserfahrungen, i. e. Selbstöffnung, gegenseitiges Vertrauen sowie Verständnis, Hilfe und Nähe des Facilitators bei mehr als 84% der TeilnehmerInnen. Es wird gezeigt, wie die Ergebnisse der Gesamtgruppe als Benchmark zur Beurteilung des Erfolges einzelner Gruppen und einzelner Personen verwendet werden können.
Das Unaussprechliche zu Wort bringen. Gedanken zur Psychotherapie mit Opfern der Folter
Authors: Lottaz Angelo
Published: February 2024

Es wird ein personzentrierter Zugang zu gefolterten Menschen beschrieben. Zentral ist dabei das Verständnis für den gesellschaftlichen Charakter der erlittenen „fundamentalen Inkongruenz zur Welt“. Um angemessen mit der Thematik des Bösen, des Dunklen, des nicht therapierbaren Leidens umgehen zu können, ist ein gutes Arbeitsteam nötig. Da das Erleben von Gefolterten geprägt ist vom Gefühl der Fremdheit der Welt und sich selber gegenüber, ist es besonders schwierig, aber um so wichtiger, behutsam und unbeirrt danach zu suchen, in Beziehung zu ihnen zu kommen.
Personzentrierte Angstforschung: Störungsbezogenes Vorgehen und Ergebnisse
Authors: Teusch Ludwig
Published: February 2024

Die Entwicklung und Ergebnisse der Essener Arbeitsgruppe Gesprächspsychotherapie-Forschung zur Behandlung von Panik und Agoraphobie werden vorgestellt. In Anlehnung an das Phasenmodell von Swildens wurde ein manualgeleitetes therapeutisches Vorgehen entwickelt. In Therapie- und Verlaufsstudien wurde nachgewiesen, dass die Gesprächspsychotherapie effektiv die Leitsymptomatik Panik und Agoraphobie und die den Angststörungen zugrunde liegenden Persönlichkeitsdefizite vermindert. Therapietheoretisch hervorzuheben ist, dass nachgewiesen werden konnte, dass die Gesprächspsychotherapie über eigene Wirkmechanismen zur Angstreduktion führt. Verglichen mit einer Kombination aus Gesprächspsychotherapie und verhaltenstherapeutischer Reizkonfrontation reduziert ausschließliche Gesprächspsychotherapie besonders nachhaltig die übergroße Hilfsbereitschaft, die körperliche Affektresonanz und die subjektive Stressbelastung. Im Anschluss an die Gesprächspsychotherapie nehmen die Therapieeffekte noch weiter zu. Diese „Nachbesserung“ im Katamnesezeitraum weist auf die „aktualisierenden Tendenz“ hin.
Authentizität als Einheit von Erfahrung, Selbstkonzept und Echt-Sein am Beispiel von unterrichtenden Lehrern
Authors: Behr Michael , Doubek Nicole , Holl Steffi
Published: February 2024

Die klientzentrierte Theorie beschreibt Authentizität als Einheit von Erfahrung, Selbstkonzept und Echt-Sein mit anderen. Drei Studien prüfen, ob es nützlich ist, Authentizität in zwei Konzepte zu unterteilen: intrapersonale Authentizität als Kongruenz von Erfahrung und Selbst, und interpersonale Authentizität als Echt-Sein mit anderen. In drei Studien werden je 30 bis 35 unterrichtende Lehrer auf ihr Echt-Sein geratet. Selbstkonzept-Maße der Lehrer zeigen niedrige Korrelationen zwischen intra- und interpersonaler Authentizität. Erleben von entweder zu wenig oder von überflutenden Emotionen prädiziert unterschiedliche Muster bei den Selbstkonzept-Maßen. Drei Subskalen für Echt-Sein in der Schule besitzen gute Inter-Rater-Reliabilität und Validität. Sie können bei pädagogischen Ausbildungen und in der Forschung eingesetzt werden.
Die personzentrierte Haltung: die Kraft, die Veränderung schafft?
Authors: Gutberlet Michael
Published: February 2024

In Ausbildungen und Fachdiskussionen wird nach wie vor die für die Praxis sehr bedeutsame Frage gestellt, ob die personzentrierteHaltung, wie sie Rogers formuliert und erforscht hat, für konstruktive Persönlichkeitsveränderung als hinreichend gilt, oder ob eineErweiterung des Ansatzes notwendig ist.Der Autor stellt dazu folgende Positionen zur Diskussion:• Rogers’ Haltungskonzeption stösst1 auf Skepsis und Unverständnis, weil sie im Widerspruch steht zum gängigen Wissenschafts- und Bildungsverständnis und auch eine sehr ungewohnte, erfahrungsbezogene Vermittlungsform erfordert, ohne die sie nicht wirklich verstanden werden kann.• Die personzentrierte Haltung als eine Erfahrung ist das entscheidende und hinreichende Agens für Veränderung und Heilung.• Personzentrierte Haltung und der punktuellen Gebrauch von ausgearbeiteten Techniken, von lenkendem oder führendem Therapeutenverhalten schliessen einander nicht aus, sofern erstens gewährleistet ist, dass der innere Bezugsrahmen der Person – und nicht Theorie oder Technik – unangefochten im Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit von TherapeutInnen steht und zweitens KlientInnen über jeden ihrer Schritte selbst entscheiden können. Diese Auffassung wird begründet, ihre Umsetzung in der Praxis verdeutlicht und auf ihre Risiken hingewiesen.
Veränderungsepisoden und Bedeutungskonstruktion im personzentrierten Therapieprozess
Authors: Berger Franz
Published: February 2024

Woran erkennt der Praktiker während eines Therapieverlaufs unter den vielfältigen Phänomenen jene Veränderungen, die für den Therapieverlauf bedeutsam sind? Letztere sind für den Autor keine objektiven Gegebenheiten, sondern komplexe Konstruktionen in Form von Erzählungen und Wahrnehmungskonfigurationen. Orientierungsraster für Veränderungswahrnehmungen und -schlussfolgerungen leitet der Autor aus der personzentrierten Therapietheorie ab, er bezieht sich dabei auf Prozess- und Therapieziele. Als Indikatoren gelten etwa so konkrete Phänomene wie die Zunahme der Selbstexploration und die Vertiefung des Experiencing, aber auch weit abstraktere wie zum Beispiel die Reduktion der Inkongruenz oder die Veränderung des Selbstkonzepts. In den einzelnen Therapiephasen sind Veränderungssignale unterschiedlich bedeutsam. Veränderungen im Therapieprozess werden als Muster manifest. Illustriert werden diese anhand einer Reihe von änderungsbezogenenTherapieausschnitten aus dem Kontext der Studierendenberatung.
„Wenn ich mich so wie ich bin akzeptiere, dann ändere ich mich.“
Authors: Keil Sylvia
Published: February 2024

In diesem Artikel werden Bedingungen für persönliche Veränderung durch Klientenzentrierte Psychotherapie aus der Perspektive der Praxis behandelt. Folgende Fragen stehen im Zentrum der Darstellung: Woran erkennen Psychotherapeutinnen therapeutisch relevanteVeränderung und welche Methoden und Techniken stehen ihnen zur Verfügung, um Veränderung zu ermöglichen?
Zunächst werden allgemeine methodische Prinzipien im Mikro- und Makroprozess der Psychotherapie beschrieben. Dazu zählen die kontinuierlicheSymbolisierung der impliziten Therapieziele, die Beachtung der jeweiligen Phase der Therapie und erlebensfördernde Interventionen im therapeutischenDialog.
Als zentrales Agens der Psychotherapie wird die prozessuale Reflexion der therapeutischen Beziehung betrachtet. Das Veränderungspotenzial liegt gerade in der Bewältigung der Abweichung der tatsächlichen therapeutischen Beziehung von der in der Therapietheorie geforderten Beziehungsqualität. Die auf Grund dieser Abweichungen notwendige Veränderung der Therapeutin selbst in der therapeutischen Beziehung ist ein Motor und gleichzeitig ein Indikator für strukturelle Veränderungen der Klientinnen. Parallel dazu entstehen Verstehenshypothesen, die kontinuierlich gemeinsam mit der Klientin überprüft und modifiziert werden. Diese enthalten gerade durch den akzeptierenden Charakter einen bedeutsamen Veränderungsimpuls. Die Fähigkeit, Verstehenshypothesen zu entwickeln, gehört zu den wesentlichen methodischen Kompetenzen einer klientenzentrierten Psychotherapeutin.
