Therapist\u27s experience of psychotherapy relationship through the lens of attachment theory
No full textV pričujočem delu se avtorica loteva raziskovanja terapevtovega doživljanja terapevtskega odnosa in sicer skozi prizmo navezanosti. Teoretični uvod tako predstavlja podrobno predstavitev teorije navezanosti od Bowlbyja naprej. Avtorica pregleda zgodovino koncepta kot tudi njegov razvoj in etiologijo. Drugi del teoretičnega uvoda je sestavljen iz predstavitve koncepta terapevtskega delovnega odnosa in njegove implikacije za terapevtsko delo. Avtorica se znova poglobi v razumevanje koncepta in skuša slediti njegovemu razvoju. Delo nato preide na raziskovalni del.
Avtorico je zanimalo, kako terapevti doživljajo terapevtski odnos skozi lečo navezanosti. Za ta namen je terapevtski odnos razdelila na tri faze – fazo prednavezanosti, ki jo zaznamuje vzpostavljanje kontakta in učenje pravil terapevtskega dela, sledi ji faza oblikovanja navezanosti, kjer je dinamika že utečena, klienti pa opažajo prve spremembe v svojem življenju, in zadnja faza, torej faza navezanosti, ki jo oblikuje visoka stopnja zaupanja, jasna komunikacija med klientom in terapevtom in dobra delovna aliansa. Avtorica je za namen naloge intervjuvala osem terapevtov in podatke, pridobljene v teh intervjujih analizirala s pomočjo kvalitativne metode fenomenološke raziskave. Ugotovitve so pokazale, da se doživljanje terapevtov v veliki meri sklada z do sedaj aktualno teorijo. V fazi prednavezanosti so terapevti poročali o tem, da se odnos šele oblikuje, zaupanje vzpostavlja, komunikacija še usklajuje. V fazi oblikovanja navezanosti terapevti poročajo o naraščajočem zaupanju in opažanju sprememb in v zadnji fazi poročajo o močni navezanosti in z rastjo odnosa vedno bolj enakovreden odnos med terapevtom in klientom. To je tudi obdobje, ko klient in terapevt načrtujeta zaključek.
Raziskovalno delo je avtorici ponudilo vpogled v globoko doživljanje terapevtskih odnosov s strani terapevta, spoznala je izzive, s katerimi se terapevti srečujejo pri svojem delu, pa tudi dobrobiti terapevtskega dela. V svojem delu je avtorica izpostavila tudi pomanjkanje informacij s področja raziskovanja terapevtske perspektive.In the current master thesis, the author is exploring a therapists’ perception of psychotherapy process through the lens of attachment. The theoretical part consists of precise description of ontogeny of the attachment theory from his beginner, John Bowlby. The author follows the history and etiology of the mentioned concept. The other part of the master thesis consists of presentation of the working alliance concept and its indication for therapeutic work. Author tries to get an overall understanding about the concept, its origins and current implications.
In the current master thesis, the author was interested in therapists’ perception of psychotherapy relationship through the attachment perspective. To enquire about it she divided the attachment process on three main stages – the preattachment stage, characterized by first contact and establishment of communication, second stage, namely attachment in the making stage, where the trust and therapy framework is already established and clients can see first changes, and last, third phase that is the attachment phase, where therapist and clients have high level of trust, good communication and good working alliance. Author interviewed eight therapists and analyzed the information from the interviews via phenomenological research.
Results have shown that the way therapists from the research see their relationships folds well with the current theory from the field. In the preattachment stage the therapist spoke about the way the relationship has yet to be built, the trust has yet to be gained and communication is still on shaky grounds. In the second, attachment in the making phase, therapists observe deeper trust, clients start seeing changes in their lives and in the last, attachment phase they describe the relationship as of one of strong attachment. With continuation of the relationship the relationship itself become more of an equal one and is, as such, slowly transcending into the conclusion phase.
The research work enabled the author to see the depth of the therapists’ experiencing of the relationships they make with their clients, she get to know the challenges of the therapeutic relationships and also the benefits of it. As a conclusion, the author exposes the lack of information available on research done of exploring the therapists’ perspective
A secure and efficient inventory management system for disasters
No full textOver the last three decades, disasters worldwide claimed more than 3 million lives and adversely affected the lives of at least 1 billion people (Noji, 1997). Regarding the threats posed by these disasters, emergency disaster management has emerged as a vital tool to reduce the harm and alleviate the suffering these disasters can cause to their victims. A significant task of planners involved in emergency disaster management is planning for and satisfying the vital needs of the people located in emergency shelters such as the Superdome in New Orleans. This thesis proposes a novel and comprehensive framework for the development of a humanitarian emergency inventory management system based on the real-time tracking of emergency supplies and demands through the integration of emerging technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID) for commodity tracking and logistics. The novelty of this thesis is that, for the first time in the emergency inventory management field, the proposed approach combines an offline planning strategy with online control techniques in a unified framework. Within this framework, the offline planning problem is solved by the stochastic humanitarian inventory management approach, whereas the online modeling strategies include the application of neural network-based functional approximation, simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA), and continuous time model predictive control (CMPC) techniques. Unlike previous studies, the flexibility of the proposed inventory management and control model allows the application of the developed mathematical model to extreme events making online real-time tracking possible. Realistic case studies built using information available from past disasters are used to examine the differences in inventory strategies for different types of disasters based on the impact area and duration of the extreme event. The proposed methodology is also capable of representing and understanding real-life cases where uncertainty and limitations on the inventory levels and flow of supplies can be modeled by introducing different levels of stochasticity and real-life constraints. The overall findings of this thesis have pointed out that the proposed integrated framework can be efficiently used for emergency inventory planning and inventory control during disaster relief operations without ignoring the real-world uncertainties, fluctuations, and constraints of disaster conditions.Ph.

Adjustment factors for MEPDG pavement responses considering three- dimensional analysis and wide-base tire
No full textThe Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) provides a superior methodology as compared to its predecessor in the design and analysis of pavement structures. The mechanistic (MEDPG analysis) calculates critical pavement responses due to pavement-tire interactions. On the other hand, the empirical part refers to the prediction of pavement distress propagation over time using transfer functions. Transfer functions link critical pavement responses to particular pavement distresses. Although MEPDG analysis provides a theoretically framework for pavement simulations, its limitations and simplifications may produce inaccurate pavement response calculations. In contrast, finite element (FE) analysis has proven capable of overcoming these limitations by simulating pavement more realistically in terms of material characterization and loading conditions. However, the high computational cost of the FE analysis precludes its use as a pavement analysis engine within the MEPDG’s framework. Therefore, this study suggests two adjustment factors based on FE analysis to bridge the gap between reality and MEPDG analysis. The first adjustment factor—developed utilizing 480 cases performed in ABAQUS and considering similar material properties and pavement structure—converts pavement responses obtained from dual tire assembly (DTA) loading to new generation wide base tire (NG-WBT) loading. The second adjustment factor—developed from running 336 cases in MEPDG and FE analyses using compatible input parameters—accounts for the limitations of MEPDG analysis regarding the material characterization and loading conditions. The simulated cases were selected to capture extreme conditions—e.g., thick and thin pavement structures with strong and weak material properties—so that extrapolation could be avoided during the implementation of the equations. The adjustment factors revealed that NG-WBT produces higher responses than DTA, which can cause greater pavement damage. Additionally, MEPDG analysis fails to capture the effect of non-uniformity and the three dimensionality of contact stress on pavement response. The discrepancy becomes significant; especially for the pavement responses near the pavement surface, such as tensile strain at the AC surface and vertical shear strain within the AC layer, that are believed to cause top-down cracking.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2017-12-01The student, Osman Erman Gungor, accepted the attached license on 2015-12-11 at 12:46.The student, Osman Erman Gungor, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2015-12-11 at 12:51.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2015-12-11 at 15:24.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9017 on 2016-03-02 at 14:14:32Made available in DSpace on 2016-03-02T21:07:16Z (GMT).

No full textOptimization of lateral position of autonomous truck platoons to improve roadway infrastructure sustainability
No full textThe adaptation rate of connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technologies correlates with the condition of transportation infrastructure. In fact, an aging and deteriorating infrastructure represents one of the main barriers to advancing CAV technologies. Given that only 41\% of U.S. roads meet the requirements for a ``good ride'', accurately estimating transportation infrastructure performance is critical to ensuring the existence of a functioning and well-maintained transportation infrastructure network for CAV advancement.
An accurate representation of traffic input is needed to predict the performance of a transportation infrastructure. Currently, the nature of human drivers characterizes traffic input for transportation analysis and design tools. However, the introduction of CAVs drastically changes the characteristics of such inputs, which in turn may require significant modifications to existing infrastructure design guidelines.
Human-driven trucks seldom follow a straight path. Their lateral position within a lane tends to deviate significantly as they travel; this is often referred to as “wheel wander.” While the lateral position of connected and autonomous trucks (CATs) is typically more channelized, it can be remotely controlled. Additionally, the time between two consecutive loadings (or, the “resting period”) is particularly reduced for platooning CATs. Therefore, we need a new pavement design framework to quantify the effects of CATs on pavement structures.
This dissertation first addresses this gap by developing a new pavement design framework for CATs. This framework may allow for the modification of analytical pavement design approaches. It does so by explicitly considering loading lateral position and resting periods through a combination of statistical methods and function approximation techniques. After describing this framework, this dissertation presents two control strategies for platooning CATs: de-centralized and centralized.
Perfectly aligned trucks at close distances in a platoon would decrease fuel consumption because of reduced aerodynamic drag. However, this may accelerate damage accumulation within pavement structures because of channelized load application and reduced resting time, resulting in a need for more frequent rehabilitation and maintenance activities. Therefore, there is a trade-off between fuel cost savings due to reduced aerodynamic drag and increased pavement life cycle costs. The de-centralized strategy addresses this trade-off by optimizing the lateral positions of the trucks in a single platoon. In other words, it generates an optimum platooning skeleton to improve pavement longevity while preserving fuel efficiency. We assume that such a skeleton is initiated and sustained by vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication as the platoon travels
The centralized platooning strategy leverages vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication to optimize the lateral position of each platoon (or group of platoons on each day or week). In the centralized strategy, the fuel efficiency of trucks is maximized because the trucks in a single platoon are still perfectly aligned. However, applying a centralized strategy may require significant investment because it depends on the existence of reliable, centralized V2I communication, as opposed to the de-centralized strategy’s V2V communication that is already part of the platooning technology.
In the last part of this dissertation, we use the developed pavement design framework to demonstrate the importance of incorporating wheel wander while comparing the effects of wide-base tires (WBT) and dual-tire assembly (DTA) on pavement life cycle costs. Historically, research has shown that WBT inflict greater damage on the pavement than do DTAs. However, these two tires have been assumed to have the same wheel wander characteristics. Our results showed that the damage difference induced by these two tires is reduced when wheel wander is incorporated into pavement life cycle cost analysis. In other words, the negative effects of WBT may be overrepresented if wheel wander is not considered.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2022-12-01The student, Osman Erman Gungor, accepted the attached license on 2020-10-20 at 21:33.The student, Osman Erman Gungor, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2020-10-20 at 21:39.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2020-11-02 at 09:31.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15843 on 2021-03-04 at 16:30:25Made available in DSpace on 2021-03-05T21:45:12Z (GMT).

Computational investigation of the velocity and temperature fields in corrugated heat exchanger channels using RANS based turbulence models with experimental validation
No full textÖzçelik, Güven (Arel Author)The characteristics of convective heat transfer and friction factor for periodic corrugated channels are investigated numerically. In the numerical study, the finite volume method (FVM) is used. Three different Reynolds averaged numerical simulation (RANS) based turbulent models, namely the k-omega, the shear stress transport (SST) model and the transition SST model are employed and compared with each other. Experimental results obtained from a previous study are used for the assessment of the numerical results. Investigations are performed for air flowing through corrugated channels with an inclination angle of 30 degrees. The Reynolds number is varied within the range 2,000 to 11,000, while keeping the Prandtl number constant at 0.70. Variations of the Nusselt number, Colburn factor, friction factor and goodness factor with the Reynolds number are studied. Effects of the corrugation geometry and channel height are discussed. The overall performances of the considered turbulence model are observed to be quite similar. The SST model is observed to show a slightly better overall performance
