Published: February 2024

Lactic acid bacteria are bacteria used to ferment food. Molecular identification of isolates of lactic acid bacteria has a high degree of accuracy compared to morphological identification. This study aimed to molecularly identify isolates of lactic acid bacteria from broiler chickens. Molecular identification is carried out in 3 stages, namely: rRNA gene amplification stage, squencing and phylogeny tree. PCR electrophoresis results obtained amplicone results measuring about 1,500 bp. The results of BLAST analysis showed that the gen 16S rRNA sequence of BR 17 lactic acid bacteria isolate had a 97-98% similarity with the genome sequence of the Lactobacillus fermentum strain.  Development of phylogenetic tree isolates of single clusters of lactic acid bacteria BR 17 with strains of Lactobacillus fermentum CAU2036, Lactobacillus fermentum JCM 7772, and Lactobacillus fermentum 10-18. The identification results of lactic acid bacteria isolate BR 17 showed Lactobacillus fermentum BR 17.
Enhancing Structural Resilience: A Comparative Study of G+35 Storey Irregular Buildings with Shear Walls and Outrigger Braced Systems
Authors: Gupta Nikhil
Published: February 2024

Abstract: The study at hand focuses on the structural performance of irregular buildings subjected to lateral loads, with a specific emphasis on node displacement and peak storey shear forces. Irregularities in building structures, stemming from variations inmass distribution, stiffness, or geometry, pose unique challenges that demand specialized engineering solutions. The primary objective of this study is to analyze and compare the response of three different structural systems across multiple storeys: an Irregular Building alone, an Irregular Building with Shear Wall, and an Irregular Building with Outrigger Braced System. Understanding how these structural systems behave under lateral forces such as wind or seismic events is crucial for ensuring the safety, stability, and resilience of buildings. Node displacement, representing the movement of critical points within the structure, and peak storey shear forces, indicating the intensity of lateral forces at specific levels, are essential performance metrics. By evaluating these metrics across various storeys, we aim to discern patterns, trends, and the relative effectiveness of each structural system. The incorporation of shear walls and outrigger braced systems represents common strategies employed by engineers to enhance the seismic and wind resistance of buildings. However, the specific impact of these systems on node displacement and peak storey shear forces in irregular buildings requires detailed investigation.
Power Quality Control of Micro Hydro Power Plant Based-ELC and VSI Using Fuzzy-PI Controller
Authors: Pakaya Ilham , Zulfatman Zulfatman , Faruq Amrul , Irfan Muhammad
Published: February 2024

Stability of frequency and voltage of micro hydro power plant (MHPP) are influenced by sufficiency of active power and reactive power respectively in handling load power. These powers are normally controlled by Electronic Load Controller (ELC) and Voltage Source Inverter (VSI), respectively. VSI is specifically added to compensate reactive power caused by inductive load. The objective of the study is to control active power and reactive power in MHPP system against the changes in load power through the improvement of ELC and VSI output responses by applying Fuzzy-PI controller. ELC applied Fuzzy-PI controller to obtain more precise TRIAC ignition angle to meet a suitable active power to balance the load power. While VSI implemented Fuzzy-PI controller to meet a precise reactive power needed to oppose inductive load power. Capability of Fuzzy-PI controller in improving ELC and VSI performance were assessed by using Matlab in complete MHPP model. Assessments on the proposed controller indicate that it was effective in improving the performance of both ELC and VSI. By applying Fuzzy-PI controller on ELC, a precise ignition angle of TRIAC stimulated a more precise ballast load to balance active power against the load power. While the addition of Fuzzy-PI controller on VSI produced more suitable reactive power to compensate for the inductive load presence. With a more stable frequency and voltage against changes in load power, the power quality of the MHPP also improve.
A framework for understanding climate change impacts through intra- and interspecific asymmetries in climate change responses

Published: February 2024

A crucial challenge in ecology is understanding and predicting
population responses to climate change. A key component of population
responses to climate change are asymmetries in which focal intra- or
interspecific rates (e.g. population growth rates) change in response to
climate change due to non-compensatory changes in the underlying
components (e.g. birth and death rates) determining the focal rates.
Asymmetric climate change responses have been documented in a variety of
systems and arise at multiple levels of organization within and across
species. Yet, how these asymmetries combine to influence the
demographics of populations is often unclear, as identified asymmetries
are typically not mapped back to the fundamental demographic asymmetry
– the differential changes in a species’ birth and death rates – that
underlies population and community change. We provide a flexible
framework incorporating asymmetric effects of changes in upstream rates
within and among species and mapping their consequences for additional
downstream rates across scales to their eventual effects on population
growth rates. Throughout we provide specific applications of the
framework. We hope this framework helps to unify research on asymmetric
climate change responses, provides researchers with a common language to
discuss asymmetric responses, and enhances our ability to understand how
populations are responding to climate change.
Effects of chemical alteration on frictional properties in a deep, granitic, geothermal system in Cornwall: Direct shear experiments at near in-situ conditions

Published: February 2024

Geochemical alteration of host rocks might affect the productivity and
the potential for induced seismicity of geothermal systems. In addition
to natural alteration, following production and heat extraction,
re-injected fluids at lower temperatures and different pressures may be
in chemical disequilibrium with the rock, impacting mineral solubility
and dissolution / precipitation processes. In this study, we investigate
the effect of geochemical alteration on the frictional behaviour of
granites, and their seismogenic potential, by conducting direct shear
experiments using samples with varying degrees of alteration. The
samples originate from the Carnmenellis granite in Cornwall, SW England,
and represent the formation used in the United Downs Deep Geothermal
Power Project for heat extraction. Experiments were conducted on granite
powders (referred to as gouges) at room temperature and 180°C, at
simulated in-situ confining and pore pressures of 130 MPa and 50 MPa,
respectively (~5 km depth). With increasing degree of
alteration, the frictional strength of the gouges decreases while
frictional stability increases. At high temperature, frictional
stability is reduced for all samples while maintaining the trend with
alteration stage. Microstructural investigation of the sheared gouges
shows alteration delocalises shear by reducing grain size and increasing
clay fraction, which promotes the formation of pervasive shear fabrics.
Our work suggests that, within the range of tested pressures, more
alteration of granite initially causes more stable shearing in a fault.
This behaviour with alteration is sustained at high temperatures, but
the overall frictional stability is reduced which increases the
potential for induced seismicity at higher temperatures.
Multi-frequency SuperDARN interferometer calibration
Authors: Thomas Evan G. , Shepherd Simon George
Published: February 2024

The ground-based, high-frequency radars of the Super Dual Auroral Radar
Network (SuperDARN) observe backscatter from ionospheric field-aligned
plasma irregularities and features on the Earth’s surface out to ranges
of several thousand kilometers via over-the-horizon propagation of
transmitted radio waves. Interferometric techniques can be applied to
the received signals at the primary and secondary antenna arrays to
measure the vertical angle of arrival, or elevation angle, for more
accurate geolocation of SuperDARN observations. Calibration of SuperDARN
interferometer measurements however remains challenging for several
reasons, including a 2$\pi$ ambiguity in the phase
correction factor needed to account for differences in the electrical
path lengths between signals received at the two antenna arrays. We
present a new technique using multi-frequency ionospheric and ground
backscatter observations for the calibration of SuperDARN interferometer
data, and demonstrate its application to both historical and recent
data.
Climate-driven topographic asymmetry enhanced by glaciers: Implication for drainage reorganization in glacial landscapes
Authors: Lai Jingtao , Huppert Kimberly
Published: February 2024

Climate contrasts across drainage divides, such as orographic
precipitation, are ubiquitous in mountain ranges, and as a result,
mountain topography is often asymmetric. During glacial periods, these
climate gradients can generate asymmetric glaciation, which may modify
topographic asymmetry and drive divide migration during
glacial-interglacial cycles. Here, we quantify topographic asymmetry
caused by asymmetric glaciation and its sensitivity to different climate
scenarios. Using an analytical model of a steady-state glacial profile,
we find that the degree of topographic asymmetry is primarily controlled
by differences in the Equilibrium Line Altitude (ELA) across the divide.
Our results show that glacial erosion can respond to the same climate
asymmetry differently than fluvial erosion. When there are precipitation
differences across the divide, glacial erosion produces greater
topographic asymmetry than fluvial erosion, all else equal. These
findings suggest that glaciations may promote drainage reorganization
and landscape transience in intermittently glaciated mountain ranges.

Published: February 2024

Soil water content, matric potential, thermal properties, and electrical
conductivity are fundamental and interrelated properties required by a
variety of applications in soil science, hydrology, agriculture, and
engineering. However, the measurements of the properties are affected by
the temporal and spatial variability of soil due to employment of a
variety of sensors, which hinders the research and modeling of coupled
water, heat and solute transport. In addition, the laborious, costly and
time-consuming sensor optimization is always a challenge for traditional
sensor development. The objective of this study was to develop a
multifunctional sensor integrating heat pulse, time domain reflectometry
and porous ceramic matrix and optimize the sensor with COMSOL based
numerical simulations. COMSOL simulated ceramic properties (e.g.,
thermal conductivity, volumetric heat capacity, dielectric permittivity,
electrical conductivity) and soil properties (e.g., thermal conductivity
and volumetric heat capacity) with different scenarios of sensor
dimensions (e.g., the radius and length of the ceramic and extended rod
length) were systematically evaluated and verified with experimental
data. Our results show that the optimal radius and length of the ceramic
are 18 mm and 40 mm, respectively, and the optimal rod length extended
out of the ceramic is 50 mm. The optimized results indicate low
estimation errors for dielectric permittivity (±1%), electrical
conductivity (±1%), thermal conductivity (±2%), and volumetric heat
capacity (±1%) of the ceramic as well as thermal conductivity (±3%)
and volumetric heat capacity (±1%) of soil. The new multifunctional
sensor can provide accurate measurement and modeling of soil
hydrothermal properties.
Counter-helical magnetic flux ropes from magnetic reconnections in space plasmas
Authors: Jia Ying-Dong , Qi Yi , Wang Xueyi , Miles Nathan , Russell Christopher T. , Wei H. Y.
Published: February 2024

Magnetic flux ropes are ubiquitous in various space environments,
including the solar corona, interplanetary solar wind, and planetary
magnetospheres. When these flux ropes intertwine, magnetic reconnection
may occur at the interface, forming disentangled new ropes. Some of
these newly formed ropes contain reversed helicity along their axes,
diverging from the traditional flux rope model. We introduce new
observations and interpretations of these newly formed flux ropes from
existing Hall Magnetohydrodynamics model results. We first examine the
time-varying local magnetic field direction at the impact interface to
assess the likelihood of reconnection. Then we investigate the electric
current system to describe the evolution of these structures, which
potentially accelerate particles and heat the plasma. This study offers
novel insights into the dynamics of space plasmas and suggests a
potential solar wind heating source, calling for further synthetic
observations.
LPS Neural Operator (LPSNO): A Novel Deep Learning Framework to Predict the Indian Monsoon Low-Pressure Systems
Authors: Srujan K. S. S. Sai , Sandeep Sukumaran , Kodamana Hariprasad
Published: February 2024

The synoptic scale variability of the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) is
contributed by the weak cyclonic vortices known as low-pressure systems
(LPSs). LPSs are the primary mechanism by which central Indian plains
receive rainfall. Traditionally, synoptic variability is considered to
have a low predictability. In the present study, we developed a
framework, namely, LPS Neural Operator (LPSNO), using the neural
operator-based deep learning to predict the spatial structure of daily
mean sea level pressure anomalies over the Bay of Bengal at a resolution
of 1°x1°. The proposed neural operator extends the Fourier neural
operator framework by employing convolutional LSTMs in the operator
backbone. Further, the mean sea level pressure is reconstructed using
the predicted anomaly and the climatology, which is then used to track
the LPSs using a Lagrangian tracking algorithm. The median pattern
correlation between the predicted and actual mean sea-level pressure
anomalies over the BoB is about 88%, 60%, and 50% for 24, 48, and
72-hour forecasts, respectively. The proposed model improves the
accuracy of predictions compared with the earlier ConvLSTM models. The
pattern correlation between the observed and predicted synoptic activity
index (SAI) is 0.94, 0.9, and 0.87 for 1, 2, and 3-day ahead
predictions, respectively. A well-trained model of LPSNO takes only
~3.2 s to generate a one-day forecast on a single GPU
node of Nvidia V100, which is computationally extremely cheap compared
to the conventional numerical weather prediction models. The proposed
LPSNO can advance operational weather forecasting substantially.
The Determinants of Product-Specific Rules of Origin: An Econometric Analysis in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership
Authors: Crivelli Pramila , Inama Stefano , Marand Jeremy
Published: February 2024

Rules of origin differ among overlapping free trade agreements, raising firm compliance costs, discouraging utilization of trade preferences, and hindering regional value chains. This study exploits a unique dataset comparing the restrictiveness of product-specific rules of origin (PSRO) between the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and other free trade agreements in Asia based on manufacturing requirements. Using maximum-likelihood models, the econometric analysis shows that economic sectors, political economy determinants, and negotiating capacities significantly influence PSRO stringency under the RCEP.

Published: February 2024

Background and purpose: Re-amputation after lower extremity amputation is frequent. The primary aim of our study was to investigate cumulative re-amputation risk after transtibial amputation (TTA), knee disarticulation (KD), and transfemoral amputation (TFA) and secondarily to investigate time to re-amputation, and risk factors.Methods: This observational cohort study was based on data from the Danish Nationwide Health registers. The population included first-time major lower extremity amputations (MLEA) performed in patients ≥ 50 years between 2010 and 2021. Both left and right sided MLEA from the same patient were included as index procedures.Results: 11,743 index MLEAs on 10,052 patients were included. The overall cumulative risks for re-amputation were 29% (95% confidence interval [CI] 27–30), 30% (CI 26–35), and 11% (CI 10–12) for TTA, KD, and TFA, respectively. 58% of re-amputations were performed within 30 days after index MLEA. Risk factors for re-amputation within 30 days were dyslipidemia (hazard ratio [HR] 1.2, CI 1.0–1.3), renal insufficiency (HR 1.2, CI 1.1–1.4), and prior vascular surgery (HR 1.3, CI 1.2–1.5).Conclusion: The risk of re-amputation was more than twice as high after TTA (29%) and KD (30%) compared with TFA (11%). Most re-amputations were conducted within 30 days of the index MLEA. Dyslipidemia, renal insufficiency, and prior vascular surgery were associated with higher risk of re-amputation.

IMPACTS OF RISK PREFERENCE AND SOCIAL INSURANCE ON HOUSEHOLD FINANCIAL MARKET PARTICIPATION IN CHINA: ARE THERE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN URBAN AND RURAL RESIDENTS?
Authors: Yang Wei , Li Zhaohua , Wang Le
Published: February 2024

This letter examines the impact of risk preference and social insurance on household financial market participation and diversification using the 2017 and 2019 China Household Finance Survey. A multi-value treatment model is used to address the selection bias between risk preference and household financial investment, considering the moderation role of social insurance in between. Overall, our results show that high-risk takers are more likely to participate in the financial market and diversify their portfolios than low risk takers. Focusing on rural and urban differentials, we find marked differences in the impacts of risk preference and social insurance on household financial investment. Having social insurance may widen the difference in investment decisions between high- and low-risk takers in urban areas; the latter group tends not to participate in or diversify when socially insured. In contrast, having social insurance encourages low- and intermediate-risk preferred rural households to participate in the financial market and diversify their financial portfolios. Our work highlights the different consequences of social insurance on investment incentives of the rural and urban households. Whilst the obvious benefits of having social insurance for rural households via risk-sharing, there is undesired consequence of incentive distortion of urban households.

Published: February 2024

Twenty-two tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) genotypes were examined for correlation and path analysis in the randomized block design under open field conditions. Total fruit yield showed a significant positive correlation with the number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight, lycopene content, and percent seedling survival in the field at both the genotypic and phenotypic levels. A strong correlation between these characters revealed that selection based on these characters would consequently improve the total fruit yield. Path analysis showed that the number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight, percent seedling survival in the nursery, and number of locules per fruit exhibited high positive direct phenotypic effects on total fruit yield, whereas the number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight, percent seedling survival in the field, and pollen viability had very high positive direct genotypic effects. Therefore, to increase the yield, it would be profitable to prioritize these traits in the selection program.

Re-creating (hi)stories:
Authors: Svensson Anette
Published: February 2024

In response to the challenge to educate democratic citizens and prepare them for life in a global and digital world, a teaching design that focuses on stories that re-claim a place in the literary tradition for groups of people who have been marginalised or silenced in literary classics has been developed and implemented in the upper secondary EFL classroom. The aim of this article is to analyse essays where upper secondary school students compare Anne of Green Gables to Anne with an E in order to discuss how transmedia storytelling can function as social and cultural empowerment and encourage global and critical awareness. The method is design-based research, and the data consist of 89 comparative essays that have been thematically analysed, resulting in four themes: altered mood, altered characters, added characters, and the function and effect of transmedia storytelling. The results show that the students focus on new themes and characters, which are easier to relate to. By comparing the source text to the makeover, they notice that Anne with an E sheds light on aspects which are missing in Anne of Green Gables. As they compare, they question the historical accuracy of both the source text and the makeover, thus demonstrating critical awareness.

Pada masa pandemi COVID-19, ekonomi Indonesia mengalami pertumbuhan negatif 2,19 persen (2020). Kondisi ini mempengaruhi penurunan bisnis di Indonesia yang berdampak pada peningkatan Non Performing Loan perbankan. Umumnya, penilaian kredit oleh perbankan dilakukan menggunakan informasi yang terdapat pada laporan keuangan sehingga pencatatan akuntansi yang benar dapat mempengaruhi kualitas kredit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari apakah manajemen laba (earnings management) yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan selama krisis pandemi COVID-19 memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap kemungkinan gagal bayar (probability of default), khususnya bagi perusahaan sektor non keuangan di Indonesia. Data penelitian diperoleh dari Bursa Efek Indonesia periode 2019 – 2021 dimana probability of default dihitung dengan menggunakan KMV-Merton Model dan earnings management menggunakan metode F-score Dechow. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan jumlah perusahaan yang memiliki probabilitas default pada masa pandemi COVID-19, namun jumlah perusahaan yang terindikasi melakukan earnings management mengalami penurunan. Hasil uji menunjukan bahwa pengaruh earnings management terhadap probability of default tidak signifikan. Namun demikian, pihak yang berkepentingan harus dapat sedini mungkin mengidentifikasi adanya manajemen laba yang dapat berdampak buruk terhadap kualitas kredit dan mengantisipasi kemungkinan gagal bayar di kemudian hari.
 
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indonesian economy experienced negative growth of 2.19 percent (2020). This condition affects the decline in business in Indonesia, which impacts the increase in bank Non-Performing Loans. Generally, credit assessment by banks is performed based on the information figured in financial statements and therefore the accounting records can affect credit quality. This research aims to study whether earnings management carried out by companies during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis has a significant effect on the probability of default, especially for non-financial sector companies in Indonesia. The data was obtained from the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2019 – 2021. The probability of default was calculated using the KMV-Merton Model and earnings management using the F-score Dechow method. The results showed that there was an increase in the number of companies that had a probability of default during the COVID-19 pandemic, but but the number of companies that indicated earnings management decreased. The result showed that the effect of earnings management on the probability of default is not significant. However, interested parties must be able to identify earnings management as early as possible, which can have an adverse impact on credit quality and anticipate possible defaults in the future.

Flooding is a land event that is Arid areas (non-swamp) are generally inundated, this is caused by high rainfall and lowland conditions. One of the causes of flooding is rainfall. Rainfall that has a high intensity can increase the possibility of flooding because rainfall that occurs outside the forecast of the existing drainage canal design plan.  Housing Z in East Jakarta has been recorded to have experienced floods as high as 80 centimeters in 2020. In this study there are several things that need to be analyzed, namely rainfall, channel capacity and the state of the existing channel. The reset periods used are 2.5 and 10-year reset periods. Precipitation is analyzed by the Chi-Square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov methods to determine the type of distribution to be used. The capacity of the existing drainage channel was analyzed by the Manning method to determine the existing discharge, then a comparison was made with flood discharge due to existing rainfall with a repeat period of 2, 5 and 10 years.

Banjir merupakan peristiwa daratan yang daerah gersang (non-rawa) umumnya tergenang air, hal ini disebabkan oleh curah hujan yang tinggi dan kondisi dataran yang rendah. Salah satu penyebab dari banjir adalah curah hujan. Curah hujan yang mempunyai intensitas tinggi dapat meningkatkan kemungkinan terjadinya banjir dikarenakan curah hujan yang terjadi diluar perkiraan dari perencanaan desain saluran drainase yang ada.  Perumahan Z di Jakarta Timur sudah tercatat pernah mengalami bencana banjir setinggi 80 sentimeter pada tahun 2020. Dalam penelitian ini akan dianalisa beberapa faktor yaitu curah hujan, kapasitas saluran dan kondisi saluran eksisting. Payback period yang digunakan adalah payback period 2,5 dan 10 tahun. Curah hujan dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode Chi-Square dan Kolmogorov-Smirnov untuk menentukan jenis distribusi yang akan digunakan. Kapasitas saluran drainase eksisting dianalisis menggunakan metode Manning untuk menentukan limpasan arus dan kemudian dibandingkan dengan debit banjir saat ini akibat hujan dengan siklus berulang 2, 5 dan 10 tahun.

The bearing capacity of a foundation is one of the factors in calculating the design of a structure. The calculation for bearing capacity and settlement is controlled by the characteristics of the soil. Expansive soil is a type of soil where it has a drastic swelling and shrinking characteristics based water content contained inside. This journal will discuss one of the factory construction projects located in Karawang, West Java. The foundation is of spun concrete pile with a diameter of 35 cm. Soil data testing consisted of 12 borelog tests, 38 cpt tests, and 24 laboratory tests. Calculation of bearing capacity used are of six methods. Two methods are used for settlement calculation. Results of theoretical calculations will be compared with results from Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA). The difference in settlement calculation based on semi-empirical method is 0.02% for W-1288 pile, and 2.39% for W-1623 pile. As for the Davisson method, the difference in settlement calculations is 20.02% for W-1288 pile, and 13.82% for W-1623 pile. The comparison between the relationship of ultimate bearing capacity (RMX) and maximum settlement value (DMX) has no correlation because of the different factors that differ in soil characteristics on each tested pile.
Abstrak
Daya dukung sebuah fondasi adalah salah satu faktor dalam perhitungan desain pembangunan sebuah struktur. Faktor perhitungan daya dukung dan penurunan tanah dikendalikan oleh karakteristik tanah yang tersedia. Tanah ekspansif adalah salah satu macam tanah dimana tanah tersebut memiliki karakteristik kembang dan susut yang drastis berdasarkan kadar air yang terkandung didalamnya. Jurnal ini akan membahasa salah satu proyek pembangunan pabrik yang terletak di Karawang, Jawa Barat. Fondasi yang diperhitungkan dan dibangunan adalah fondasi tiang pancang beton spun dengan ukuran diameter 35cm. Pengujian data tanah berupa 12 uji borelog, 38 uji sondir, serta 24 uji sampel laboratorium. Perhitungan daya dukung fondasi akan menggunakan enam metode dalam perhitungan. Perhitungan penurunan akan menggunakan dua metode yakni metode semi-empiris dan metode Davisson. Hasil perhitungan teoritis akan dibandingkan dengan hasil pengujian fondasi dengan sistem Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA). Perbedaan perhitungan penurunan berdasarkan metode semi–empiris adalah 0,02% untuk tiang W-1288, dan 2,39% untuk tiang W-1623. Sedangkan untuk metode Davisson, perbedaan perhitungan penurunan adalah 20,02% untuk tiang W-1288, dan 13,82% untuk tiang W-1623. Selanjutnya, perbandingan antara hubungan nilai daya dukung ultimit (RMX) terhadap nilai penurunan maksimum (DMX) tidak memiliki korelasi dikarenakan terdapat faktor perbedaan parameter tanah pada setiap tiang yang diuji.

Da sich die Personzentrierte Psychotherapie als „Beziehungstherapie“ versteht, sind die hier leitenden Beziehungskonzepte zu klären. Ebenso wird untersucht, wie das Beziehungsangebot des Therapeuten behandlungspraktisch umzusetzen ist und wie Beziehung und Therapietechnik miteinander verknüpft sind. Ein störungsbezogener Zugang ist sowohl prozess- wie inhaltsorientiert, d. h. er ist ausgerichtet an der Abfolge jener Themen, die für das Erleben der jeweiligen Störung relevant sind. Am Beispiel der Borderline-Störung werden die Schlüsselthemen dieser Störung erörtert und ihre Bearbeitung veranschaulicht. Es wird also die störungsbezogene Therapiepraxis in ihren Grundzügen skizziert.

The geochemical forms of some heavy metals in refuse dump soils at Agu-Awka, Awka metropolis was studied in order to assess the mobility and bioavailability of the metals and hence their potential environmental risk. Exchangeable fraction (F1) contained the % fraction of 13.23% for Cd, 17.43% for Cr, 14.63% for Pb, 12.40% for Ni, 25.34% for Zn and 15.92% for Mn and these are in the order of Zn ˃ Cr ˃ Mn ˃ Pb ˃ Cd ˃ Ni. The carbonate fraction (F2) contained the % fraction of 17.08% for Cd, 17.84% for Cr, 9.20% for Pb, 28.32% for Ni, 13.76% for Zn and 8.49% for Mn and these are in the order of Ni ˃ Cr ˃ Cd ˃ Zn ˃ Pb ˃ Mn. Lead was predominantly associated with organic fraction with a result of 42.64% followed by chromium and manganese with the values of 22.48% and 20.00% respectively. The organic bound metals were in the abundance trend of Pb ˃ Cr ˃ Mn ˃ Cd ˃ Ni ˃ Zn. The highest values of metal in Fe-Mn oxide phase was manganese with a value of 32.18%, followed by cadmium with the value of 21.76%. The values of the other metals bound to this phase were 17.52%, 16.64%, 13.99% and 12.90% for Zn, Ni, Cr, and Pb respectively. Zinc with the value of 32.20% was predominantly associated with the residual fraction. The other metals bound to this phase had their values to be 30.13% for cadmium, 28.24% for chromium, 20.61% for lead, 29.41% for nickel and 23.37% for manganese. The mobility factor values of the metals were relatively low and they followed the order of Ni > Zn > Cr > Cd > Mn > Pb. That notwithstanding, soils from studied area should be carefully monitored to prevent the release of these metals due to redox reactions which may make them available to plants through absorption.
