Disney Movies Encanto and Frozen. An REBT and Cinematherapy Perspective

"If you are a parent, then you must have seen those two cartoons (Encanto and Frozen) a dozen times. And if you are not a parent, then you certainly heard of them, because they are some of Disney’s best and largest projects, and not just in terms of box office income, which was huge (close to 3 billion dollars, combined). Financial aspects aside, the two productions are amazing because of their powerful educational messages. In this article, we analyse the educational messages and behaviours anchored in the Rational Emotive Behaviour Theory, a form of psychotherapy that focuses on helping individuals identify and change irrational beliefs that lead to negative emotions and self-defeating behaviours. We also analyse the two movies from a cinematherapy perspective. We conclude and recommend that the two movies can and should be used by parents, educators, and counsellors all over the world to educate their children about some rational attitudes (unconditional self-acceptance, unconditional other-acceptance and life acceptance, self-awareness), as well as important values (family, friendship, honesty, courage) and also as therapeutic instruments from a cinematherapy perspective. Keywords: Encanto, Frozen, Disney, cartoons, educational messages, rational emotive, cinematherapy"

A Conceptual Model‐Based Systems Engineering Method for Creating Secure Cyber‐Physical Systems

AbstractThe Air Traffic Control industry is being increasingly exposed to rising levels of risk, as criminals and cyber‐attackers look to exploit system vulnerabilities. Air Navigation Service Providers become more demanding regarding cybersecurity concerns in the products they acquire. Consequently, systems engineers need to consider cyber security concerns early in their system's development life cycle. Model‐Based Systems Engineering methodologies are widely used to manage complex engineering projects in terms of system requirements, design, analysis, verification, and validation activities, leaving cyber security aspects aside. This paper presents a conceptual solution of a model‐based security method that aims to enable systems engineers to perform threat modeling analysis of cyber‐physical systems early and incorporate mitigation strategies into the system design, thereby reducing the cyber‐physical system's overall security‐related risks. Based on a real‐life case study the method will be validated later during execution period from Jan. – May 2022.

Comparison of short-circuit current in AC and DC shipboard electrical power distribution systems: A case study of 17,500 DWT tanker vessel

The current ability of power electronic devices increases the possibility to change the shipboard electrical power distribution system from widely-used alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) systems. DC distribution systems has been known to offer higher power efficiency compared with AC distribution systems. However, the decision to move the shipboard electrical power distribution systems to DC systems requires more information in technical aspects aside of power efficiency. In this study, the investigation to compare short-circuit current between AC and DC distribution systems in non-electric propulsion vessel is conducted. The investigation is performed for electrical power distribution system of 17,500 DWT tanker vessel. Short-circuit current profile for both systems are obtained from simulation in computer software. The results indicate that the DC shipboard electrical power distribution systems has lower short-circuit current than the AC system for the same vessel.

Stockholm Syndrome: Myth or real?

Stockholm Syndrome, a raging controversy, continues to be one of the most sought after topics for psychologists and researchers. Its factual aspects aside, the main question of whether it's even real, or just a creative myth remains to be the unanswered question to date. This research paper deals with the development of the Stockholm syndrome in hostage situations. In which hostages experience good sentiments toward their captors, which are reciprocated by the captors, and negative sentiments against police and other law enforcement officers. The paper enunciates as much detail on this said question as possible while providing facts, past references, experiences, relationship with regards to the law, perspectives of people from different backgrounds, etc. The paper also analyses the set of information available, with real-life practical examples showcased by different fictional characters, this helps the readers to establish the difference between Stockholm Syndrome and the Abusive relationship, further, in the end, the reader reaches the conclusion if Stockholm syndrome is even real or just a mere imagination.

Transport across twist angle domains in moiré graphene

Many of the experiments in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) differ from each other in terms of the details of their phase diagrams. Few controllable aspects aside, this discrepancy is largely believed to be arising from the presence of a varying degree of twist angle inhomogeneity across different samples. Real space maps indeed reveal TBG devices splitting into several large domains of different twist angles. Motivated by these observations, we study the quantum mechanical tunneling across a domain wall (DW) that separates two such regions. We show that the tunneling of the moir\'e particles can be understood by the formation of an effective step potential at the DW. The height of this step potential is simply a measure of the difference in twist angles. These computations lead us to identify the global transport signatures for detecting and quantifying the local twist angle variations. In particular, Using Landauer-B\"uttiker formalism we compute single-channel conductance ($dI/dV$) and Fano factor for shot noise (ratio of noise power and mean current). A zero-bias, sub-meV transport gap is observed in the conductance which scales with the height of the step potential. One of the key findings of our work is that transport in presence of twist angle inhomogeneity is "noisy", though sub-Poissonian. In particular, the differential Fano factor peaks near the van Hove energies corresponding to the domains in the sample. The location and the strength of the peak is simply a measure of the degree of twist angle inhomogeneity.

MBSEsec: Model-Based Systems Engineering Method for Creating Secure Systems

This paper presents how Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) could be leveraged in order to mitigate security risks at an early stage of system development. Primarily, MBSE was used to manage complex engineering projects in terms of system requirements, design, analysis, verification, and validation activities, leaving security aspects aside. However, previous research showed that security requirements and risks could be tackled in the MBSE model, and powerful MBSE tools such as simulation, change impact analysis, automated document generation, validation, and verification could be successfully reused in the multidisciplinary field. This article analyzes various security-related techniques and then clarifies how these techniques can be represented in the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) model and then further exploited with MBSE tools. The paper introduces the MBSEsec method, which gives guidelines for the security analysis process, the SysML/UML-based security profile, and recommendations on what security technique is needed at each security process phase. The MBSEsec method was verified by creating an application case study that reflects real-world problems and running an experiment where systems and security engineers evaluated the feasibility of our approach.

Categories of two-colored pair partitions part I: categories indexed by cyclic groups

We classify certain categories of partitions of finite sets subject to specific rules on the coloring of points and the sizes of blocks. More precisely, we consider pair partitions such that each block contains exactly one white and one black point when rotated to one line; however, crossings are allowed. There are two families of such categories, the first of which is indexed by cyclic groups and is covered in the present article; the second family will be the content of a follow-up article. Via a Tannaka–Krein result, the categories in the two families correspond to easy quantum groups interpolating the classical unitary group \(U_n\) and Wang’s free unitary quantum group \(U_n^+\). In fact, they are all half-liberated in some sense and our results imply that there are many more half-liberation procedures than previously expected. However, we focus on a purely combinatorial approach leaving quantum group aspects aside.

Energy saving strategies in the design of mobile device applications

As is well known, the main restriction in mobiles devices is battery duration, so strategies for energy saving in mobile devices should be designed and implemented. In this paper, key considerations in the design of mobile applications are studied from the energy consumption point of view. It has been found that rendering and processing tasks requiring high computational complexity entail increased consumption of energy. Consequently, different techniques, developed at the hardware and operating system levels, have been proposed to improve energy efficiency in mobile devices. On one hand, at the application level, there also exist some approaches, such as Mobile Computation Offloading (MCO) and Graphical User Interface (GUI) design. However, these approaches only consider connectivity and usability problems, putting battery management aspects aside. On the other hand, there are several surveys on saving energy in mobile devices, but many focus on some specific strategies, such as the use of wireless networks or MCO. The main contribution of this work is a literature review, analyzing various strategies for energy saving, emphasizing in those that deal with the development of applications. Unlike other similar articles, we have included several strategies from the literature and those developed and tested by our research group. As shown by our results, the studied strategies prevent energy consumption considerations from affecting other aspects of the application design, such as GUI adaptability and information management.

Nursing Provision in Psychological Aspect Management of Natural Disaster

Natural disasters are an event or series of events caused by natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, floods, droughts, hurricanes and landslides, resulting in human casualties, environmental damage, property losses objects, and psychological effects. Therefore, the need for nurse preparedness is especially special on the psychological aspect aside from the physical aspect. Nurse personnel is the first milestone that will be sought by the people affected by disaster, because nurses as the front line in a health service has a responsibility and a big role in handling the patient's daily emergency and disaster strikes. To know nurse preparedness in psychological aspect in facing natural disaster. The writing of this journal uses a literature study approach from several sources selected based on the criteria set by the author. The research journal was obtained from several databases, namely PubMed and BioMedCentral (BMC) Psychiatry. In total, the literature review consists of 10 journals, 4 studies report effective outcomes including knowledge, skills, self-awareness, interest, intellectual, cooperation, and motivation need to be prepared to support disaster management, 5 research reports that nurses need to prepare themselves on the psychological aspect in the form of cognitive, intellectual, interest, attitude, clinical skills education and rescue comprehension with basic principles of psychosocial support. Last 1 study reported the result that the need for training for administrators on hospital management in disaster preparedness. The psychological aspect is very important that must be prepared by the nurse in facing natural disaster, thus preventing the occurrence of psychological impact (in the form of psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety and other mental disorders) either self-nurse or victim to be handled by natural disaster happen.

About Pan-Scandinavianism. Reference points in the 19th century (1815-1864)

At the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th a sense of solidarity shared by the people of the Northern Europe appeared: Pan-Scandinavianism. First it had a certain impact at cultural and spiritual levels. In a narrower sense the term was used when referring to the possibility of creating a political union between the Nordic kingdoms during the middle decades of the 19th century. Although it seemed that the political side of Pan-Scandianvianism had a good chance of accomplishing itself, especially after the Three Years War (1848-1851), the international context from the period that followed did not favour that plan. The collapse of the political Pan-Scandinavianism was in 1864 – the Second Schleswig-Holstein War. Sweden-Norway failed in helping Denmark against Prussia and Austria, despite the fact that King Karl XV was an advocate of Pan-Scandinavianism. Leaving this aspect aside, there were other internal difficulties of the Nordic states that Pan-Scandinavianism had to face, including the emerging nationalism. On a broader view, Pan-Scandinavianism appeared as an opponent of Panslavism and Pangermanism. Thus the dream of a unified Scandinavia was abandoned in the 19th century and Pan-Scandinavianism focused on cultural, scientific and economic cooperation.

Neural Network Model of Estimation of Body Mass Index Based on Indirect Input Factors

A well-prepared One of the main concerns of people in developing and developed societies is increasing the Body Mass Index (BMI) level. BMI, in fact can be considered as an indicator of overall health condition. Genetic aspects aside, the BMI level is affected by different factors, such as socio-economic, environmental, and physical activity level. This study investigated the effect of different factors on the BMI level of a sample population of 470 adults of three residential neighborhoods in Shiraz, Iran. The Pearson correlation coefficient, independent sample T-test and One Way ANOVA were used to extract the variables which significantly influenced the BMI. The statistical analysis showed that despite the apparent association of BMI with physical activity level, it is influenced by several factors such as age, residence record, number of children, distance to bus or taxi stop, indoor or sport exercise. Then, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was applied to predict the level of personal BMI. Artificial Neural Network-based methodology results showed that the generalized estimating ANN model was satisfactory in estimating the BMI based on the introduced pattern.

How and to what end may consciousness contribute to action? Attributing properties of consciousness to an embodied, minimally cognitive artificial neural network.

An artificial neural network called reaCog is described which is based on a decentralized, reactive and embodied architecture developed to control non-trivial hexapod walking in an unpredictable environment (Walknet) while using insect-like navigation (Navinet). In reaCog, these basic networks are extended in such a way that the complete system, reaCog, adopts the capability of inventing new behaviors and – via internal simulation – of planning ahead. This cognitive expansion enables the reactive system to be enriched with additional procedures. Here, we focus on the question to what extent properties of phenomena to be characterized on a different level of description as for example consciousness can be found in this minimally cognitive system. Adopting a monist view, we argue that the phenomenal aspect of mental phenomena can be neglected when discussing the function of such a system. Under this condition, reaCog is discussed to be equipped with properties as are bottom-up and top-down attention, intentions, volition, and some aspects of Access Consciousness. These properties have not been explicitly implemented but emerge from the cooperation between the elements of the network. The aspects of Access Consciousness found in reaCog concern the above mentioned ability to plan ahead and to invent and guide (new) actions. Furthermore, global accessibility of memory elements, another aspect characterizing Access Consciousness is realized by this network. reaCog allows for both reactive/automatic control and (access-) conscious control of behavior. We discuss examples for interactions between both the reactive domain and the conscious domain. Metacognition or Reflexive Consciousness is not a property of reaCog. Possible expansions are discussed to allow for further properties of Access Consciousness, verbal report on internal states, and for Metacognition. In summary, we argue that already simple networks allow for properties of consciousness if leaving the phenomenal aspect aside.

Application of Artificial Neural Network (Ann) in Estimation of Body Mass Index (Bmi) Based on the Connection Between Environmental Factors and Physical Activity

One of the main concerns of people inmodern societies is increasing the Body Mass Index (BMI) level. BMI, in fact, can be considered as an indicator of overall health condition. Genetic aspects aside, the BMI level is affected by different factors, such as socio -economic, environmental, and physicalactivity level. This study investigated the effect of different factors on the BMI level of a sample population of 470 adults of three residential neighbourhoods in Shiraz, Iran. The Pearson correlation test, independent sample Ttest and One Way ANOVA we re used to extract the variables which significantly influenced the BMI. The statistical analysis showed that despite the apparent association of BMI with physical activity level, it is influenced by several factors such as age, residence record, number ofchildren, distance to bus or taxi stop, indoor or sport exercise. Then, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was applied to predict the level of personal BMI. The results of this analysis showed that the generalized estimating ANN model was satisfactory in estimating the BMIbased on the introduced pattern.

Lomas v Firth Rixson: a curate's egg?

In 1895 the London satirical magazine Punch published a famous cartoon in which a bishop says to a curate at breakfast, ‘I’m afraid you’ve got a bad egg, Mr Jones’. The curate replies, ‘Oh no, my Lord, I assure you that parts of it are excellent’. The decision of Mr Justice Briggs in Lomas v JFB Firth Rixson, Inc.1 is, with respect, excellent in parts. The good news for derivatives market participants is that the judge confirms that Section 2(a)(iii) is enforceable under English law against a company in administration. The bad news, at least for many market participants, is that in at least one important respect he does not think that it works in the way that most market participants thought it worked. This one aspect aside, it is a thoroughly good egg. Firth Rixson is the most significant of a number of High Court cases over the...

Broadband spoof plasmons and subwavelength electromagnetic energy confinement on ultrathin metafilms

A complementary split ring resonator (CSRR)-based metallic layer is proposed as a route to mimic surface plasmon polaritons. A numerical analysis of the textured surface is carried out and compared to previous prominent topologies such as metal mesh, slit array, hole array, and Sievenpiper mushroom surfaces, which are studied as well from a transmission line perspective. These well-documented geometries suffer from a narrowband response, alongside, in most cases, metal thickness constraint (usually of the order of lambda/4) and non-subwavelength modal size as a result of the large dimensions of the unit cell (one dimensions is at least of the order of lambda/2). All of these limitations are overcome by the proposed CSRR-based surface. Besides, a planar waveguide is proposed as a proof of the potential of this CSRR-based metallic layer for spoof surface plasmon polariton guiding. Fundamental aspects aside, the structure under study is easy to manufacture by simple PCB techniques and it is expected to provide good performance within the frequency band from GHz to THz.

Cutting It Off: Bodily Integrity, Identity Disorders, and the Sovereign Stakes of Corporeal Desire in U.S. Law

DESCARTES THE WANNABE: AMPUTATION AND LIBERAL PHILOSOPHY In Discourse on Method and Meditations Concerning First Philosophy, Descartes prefaces his much-famed cogito with curious series of physical acts. Before announcing that he thinks, and therefore he is, Descartes first dismembers himself, asking what of his would remain were he to amputate his ears, his arms, his eyes (Dayan 1995). Descartes concludes: Although seems to be united to body, I recognize that if foot or arm or any other part of body is cut off, nothing has thereby been taken away from mind (Descartes 1986, 59). Even as Descartes degrades, discards, and dismisses physical experience in relation to human subjectivity, his discovery of first principle ofthat humanity nonetheless depends on his traversement and modification of corporeality that he calls his own. Invoking prior whole body that properly belongs to or lies under domain of his I, Descartes arrives at his enlightenment through fantasy of his ability to discorporate, take apart that supposed prior whole. His sovereignty of self follows from sovereignty of corpus. Or, if regime of sovereignty might bleed into regime of property, his self becomes his own (Best 2004). In considering political and inherited stakes of what makes body one's own or sovereign, of what makes body count as whole, and of privileges that counting as might bring, I am writing this essay squarely on backs of many infinite others. I do so in hope of building an intellectual practice that responds to exploitative, violent connections between juridical sovereignty of U.S. and enforcement of corporeal wholeness or integrity. For example, Nikki Sullivan and Susan Stryker have an important forthcoming article on this very subject. Focusing on self-demand amputation and transsexual surgery, Sullivan and Stryker trace concept of bodily through histories of sovereign in order to show how urgendy we have been missing critique of integrity as an enabling fiction that works to legitimize all-too-material distributions of capital, property, and freedom in contemporary sphere. In end, Descartes, stripped of his limbs and eyes and ears at his own volition, triumphandy proclaims that he has become what he has always truly been, a (Descartes 1986). The thinking aspect aside, I am struck by ease with which Descartes elides into reification, into thing rather than subject with which he began. For Descartes, assertion and imagining of agency that allows him to become an individuated subject also allows him to throw it all away, to become not subject but thing. In this sense, his self-amputation, his musculation into thing-ness marks apotheosis and exemplary of his newly minted subjecthood. How to read this moment, then, knowing full well that in United States, making of people-as-things was juridical prerogative of hundreds of years of African chattel slavery, of laws that guaranteed that wives would function as property of husbands and girls as property of fathers (Best 2004; Farley 2004; Johnson 2003; Pateman 1988)? It seems easy to say that problem here might be notion of liberal consent, or agency - that what matters is whether you or make me into thing (Johnson 2003). Rather than attempt to scale philosophical peak of Mount Agency direcdy, however, in this essay I will attempt to make series of small cuts and observations into sexed and gendered politics of bodily in contemporary U.S. law. In doing so, I am leaving aside much work on particularly raced character of U.S. sovereignty, and on how connections between bodily and U.S. sovereignty continue to organize around white supremacy. Here I am mindful of Timothy Mitchell's writing on process by which writers fetishize, reify, and unify effects and processes through repetition of the state as literary and substantive conceit. …

The Social Context of Pain Management

Management of pain, especially when chronic, represents an ongoing challenge in clinical medicine. Why is it so challenging? Part of the reason involves the wide range of treatments available in the current clinical armamentarium, the mastery of which is demanding. Indeed, the demands are of a magnitude sufficient to argue for pain medicine as a distinct medical specialty, “algiatry.” Technical aspects aside, the subjectivity of the pain experience challenges current medical models that rely on objective test results. Diagnostic testing, typically the bedrock of clinical decision making, frequently yields results that correspond poorly to patient reports of pain intensity and observable levels of pain-related disability. Thus, despite the diagnostic technology available to modern medicine and the recently enhanced status accorded to pain (as a fifth vital sign), the bedrock of clinical decision making for pain involves the clinical interview. Based largely on inferences made in the course of that interview, the provider must judge the nature of the patient's experience (i.e., the severity and other qualities of pain) and determine what, if any, changes in treatment are necessary. It is well-known that a host of variables can affect judgments made in the context of a social interaction, such as a medical encounter. Indeed, there is a long history of research in social psychology regarding …

Le papier peint au temps de l’Art nouveau, des expositions à la commercialisation

Wallpaper in the Time of Art Nouveau : Exhibitions and Commercialization Wallpaper designs produced around 1900 are particularly significant for the manner in which they incorporated the aesthetic trends of the period. In this essay, however, I have chosen to leave this well-known aspect aside in order to focus on the different modes of presentation of these designs and question the manner in which the exhibition and commercialization of wallpaper related to the artistic ideals of Art Nouveau. In the various exhibitions and events dedicated to the major art currents of the period, wallpaper appeared as a key component of the stylistic units of interiors. At the same time, wallpaper was often decontextualized and separated from the domestic environment, as when it was showcased in specialized exhibitions that promoted it as an industrial product or when it was displayed in shops. While Art Nouveau wallpaper appeared in these circumstances as part of a historical context, the buyer encountered it as a fragment and no longer in a three-dimensional environment. The wallpaper as decorative element thus ensured the spread of a modern aesthetic within Belle Epoque interiors but in a manner which eschewed a true understanding of the artistic program of Art Nouveau and its emphasis on creating a global aesthetic environment.

La relación médico-paciente en el tratamiento de la diabetes tipo 1. Un estudio cualitativo

To know the experiences and expectations of diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) patients and their relatives as regards the relationships established with doctors, and the impact of such relationships on their strategies to cope with the disease and treatment. Qualitative design based on focus groups conducted in 2001. Several health care centres in Granada and Seville, Spain. DM1 patients and their relatives and/or carers. Theory-based sampling including the most representative profiles. Qualitative analysis procedure: text coding, triangulation and interpretation of results. Doctor/patient relationship highly influences the emotional experience of disease and the way patients gain control over it. Interviewed patients said that the relationship with doctors is focused on disease signs and symptoms, leaving emotional aspects aside. Very often, provider communication is built on recrimination and threat. Treatment is imposed rather than agreed, with scarce opportunities for participating in clinical decisions. Patients develop strategies to take their own decisions and adapting treatment to their daily life. Patients value a relationship model whereby providers listen and empathise with their situation, understand their difficulties in treatment compliance, encourage them, and adapt recommendations to the personal and emotional circumstances of each patient. They prefer doctors combining professional competence-including relational skills-with humanity and kindness, as well as being capable of assuming their co-responsibility in treatment success.
