Development of personality as a discipline in psychology
No full textThe history of personality dates as far as in the era of Ancient Greek medicine and philosophy when philosophers have been searching ways to define what exactly make us who we are. When the ‘Father of Medicine’, Hippocrates (c.460-377 BC) worked on the notable ‘Four Temperaments or Four Humours’, the Temperament theory which was rooted from the ancient humors theory was developed into a medical theory. These bodily fluids (blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile) were linked to different organs and illnesses as represented in the “Four Temperaments and Four Humours” of personality.

Biotrickling Filtration for the Reduction of N<sub>2</sub>O Emitted during Wastewater Treatment: Results from a Long-Term In Situ Pilot-Scale Testing
No full textWastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a major source of N2O, a potent greenhouse gas with 300 times higher global warming potential than CO2. Several approaches have been proposed for mitigation of N2O emissions from WWTPs and have shown promising yet only site-specific results. Here, self-sustaining biotrickling filtration, an end-of-the-pipe treatment technology, was tested in situ at a full-scale WWTP under realistic operational conditions. Temporally varying untreated wastewater was used as trickling medium, and no temperature control was applied. The off-gas from the covered WWTP aerated section was conveyed through the pilot-scale reactor, and an average removal efficiency of 57.9 ± 29.1% was achieved during 165 days of operation despite the generally low and largely fluctuating influent N2O concentrations (ranging between 4.8 and 96.4 ppmv). For the following 60-day period, the continuously operated reactor system removed 43.0 ± 21.2% of the periodically augmented N2O, exhibiting elimination capacities as high as 5.25 g N2O m-3·h-1. Additionally, the bench-scale experiments performed abreast corroborated the resilience of the system to short-term N2O starvations. Our results corroborate the feasibility of biotrickling filtration for mitigating N2O emitted from WWTPs and demonstrate its robustness toward suboptimal field operating conditions and N2O starvation, as also supported by analyses of the microbial compositions and nosZ gene profiles.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Sanitary Engineerin
Compositive role of refractory element Mo in improving strength and ductility of face-centered-cubic complex concentrated alloys
No full textComplex concentrated alloys (CCAs) with a face-centered-cubic (FCC) structure exhibit remarkable mechanical properties, introducing the expansion of compositional space in alloy design for structural materials. The formation of a single solid-solution phase is enabled by configuring various 3d-transition elements, while doping other elements even of a small portion generally leads to the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds. Herein, we demonstrate through a systematic investigation of single FCC (CoNi)100-xMox alloys that a wide range of refractory element Mo can simultaneously improve the strength and ductility while sustaining the solid-solution structure. The addition of Mo with a larger atomic size than those of 3d-transition elements introduces severe lattice distortion in the FCC lattice and causes grain-boundary segregation enriched by Mo atoms. In addition, increasing Mo content effectively reduces the stacking fault energy (SFE). The increased lattice distortion with Mo content enhances the solid-solution strengthening of the alloys. Besides, along with reduced SFE and stabilization of the dislocation emission site by grain-boundary segregation, this elevated solid-solution strengthening increases grain-boundary strengthening, reaching a yield strength of ∼1 GPa. Moreover, the reduction of SFE with increasing Mo results in the transition of dislocation substructures and the refinement of deformation twins, allowing for enhanced strain-hardening capability and thus ∼1.3 GPa tensile strength and ∼50% ductility. Such compositive and synergetic effects of refractory element Mo enable the CCAs with a single FCC solid solution to overcome the strength and ductility trade-off.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Team Marcel Sluite
The history of family therapy
No full textTo begin with, before taking a closely look at the history of family therapy, I shall bring some explanations of the term “Family Therapy” in terms of its definition, aims, benefits and so on so forth. After that, I will be taking into account both the differences and similarities between family therapy and group counseling at the same time. This can enhance our understanding towards getting into the explanation of the history of family therapy better. By just taking a moment and before jumping in to get to know the meaning of family therapy, the word ‘family’ really caught my attention. Perhaps we can take a moment to find out what defines family first. According to Webster’s Dictionary, family defines as a group of people who are bound by philosophical, religious or other convictions, common ancestry and people who are living under the same roof. Other definition of family would be a basic biosocial unit in society having as its nucleus two or more adults living together and cooperating in the care and rearing of their own or adopted children. Family is also considered as a system in which each member has a significant influence on all other members
Kecelaruan personaliti histrionik
No full textBerdasarkan daripada karya Millon dan Davis (1996) yang bertajuk Disorder of Personality: DSM-IV and Beyond, perkataan personality berasal daripada perkataan Greek yang bermaksud ‘Persona’. Tambahan, personaliti merupakan perwatakan psikologi yang kompleks. Ianya sesuatu yang tidak disedari dan sukar untuk diubah.
Manakala menurut Azizi Yahaya dan Tan Soo Yin (2007), personality merupakan set tingkah laku yang jelas. Personality juga merupakan gaya perangai yang membentuk keperibadian seseorang
Antisocial personality disorder and borderline personality disorder
No full textPersonality disorder is defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (2000) (DSM - IV) as "enduring pattern[s] of inner experience and behavior" which causes p erson into repeated conflicts with his or her social and occupational environment . A ccording to DSM - IV , these dysfunctional patterns must be considered as nonconforming or deviant by the person's culture, and cause significant emotional pain and/or difficulties in relationships and occupational performance. This is because , th ey usually sees the disorder as being consistent with his or he r self - image (ego - syntonic). Meaning to say, these individuals do not see themselves as abnormal/out of ord inary. Instead, they may blame the people around him/her for his/ her condition; social, educational, or work - related problems (ibid). There are many types of personality disorder, namely, schizoid, paranoid, historic as well as narcissistic, among others. In this essay, I will focus on two types of personality disorder; the antisocial personality disorder and borderline personality disorder
It is self concept, self-esteem or self confidence
No full textThere are variety of ways to think about the self. Two of the most widely used terms are self-concept and self-esteem. How do we evaluate these two? How do we define these fancy words and where we do begin to determine the effect of them
Increased Excitatory Synaptic Transmission of Dentate Granule Neurons in Mice Lacking PSD-95-Interacting Adhesion Molecule Neph2/Kirrel3 during the Early Postnatal Period
No full textCopy number variants and point mutations of NEPH2 (also called KIRREL3) gene encoding an immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily adhesion molecule have been linked to autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disability and neurocognitive delay associated with Jacobsen syndrome, but the physiological roles of Neph2 in the mammalian brain remain largely unknown. Neph2 is highly expressed in the dentate granule (DG) neurons of the hippocampus and is localized in both dendrites and axons. It was recently shown that Neph2 is required for the formation of mossy fiber filopodia, the axon terminal structure of DG neurons forming synapses with GABAergic neurons of CA3. In contrast, however, it is unknown whether Neph2 also has any roles in the postsynaptic compartments of DG neurons. We here report that, through its C-terminal PDZ domain-binding motif, Neph2 directly interacts with postsynaptic density (PSD)-95, an abundant excitatory postsynaptic scaffolding protein. Moreover, Neph2 protein is detected in the brain PSD fraction and interacts with PSD-95 in synaptosomal lysates. Functionally, loss of Neph2 in mice leads to age-specific defects in the synaptic connectivity of DG neurons. Specifically, Neph2−/− mice show significantly increased spontaneous excitatory synaptic events in DG neurons at postnatal week 2 when the endogenous Neph2 protein expression peaks, but show normal excitatory synaptic transmission at postnatal week 3. The evoked excitatory synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity of medial perforant pathway (MPP)-DG synapses are also normal in Neph2−/− mice at postnatal week 3, further confirming the age-specific synaptic defects. Together, our results provide some evidence for the postsynaptic function of Neph2 in DG neurons during the early postnatal period, which might be implicated in neurodevelopmental and cognitive disorders caused by NEPH2 mutations.

Goodbye, Uncle Tom: so long. Superfly: character types of Aframerican men in the films of Spike Lee, 1993
No full textThis thesis discusses images of Aframerican men in Spike Lee's films, She's Gotta Have It. School Daze. Do the Right Thing, Mo' Better Blues. Jungle Fever, and X. In this study, Aframerican male characters in Lee's works have been compared to stereotypes perpetuated in American films. Lee depicts Aframerican men in various roles in his films. These characterizations range from love-starved fools, angry urban dwellers, responsible fathers, neighborhood drunks, preachers, musicians and hustlers, to middle-class workers, and political activists. However, Lee's depictions of Aframerican males do not fall into the dehumanizing tradition of mainstream Hollywood movie-makers. His films connect Aframerican men with women, families, and communities. Since Lee's images of Aframerican men are so diverse, and so far removed from popular stereotypes, this thesis examines these roles in the context of American filmography
