알코올중독자의 정신과 입원경험에 관한 현상학적 연구

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of psychological inpatient experience of Alcoholics Methods: Phenomenological methodology was used for the study. The participants who were enrolled in the mental hospital for the psychological inpatient experience of Alcoholics in Kyunggi Province were eligible in the study. The data were collected by in-depth interview with nine participants during the period from April 23 to May 18, 2019. Data analysis was conducted following the method by Colaizzi. Results: Five themes and ten meanings were formulated for experiences of inpatient of alcoholics. Five themes were 'Choice of mental hospitals for survival', 'To be controled from freedom', 'Feeling ambivalence of alcohol', 'Learn to live in a psychological ward', 'Understand others in parallel one's own insight'. Conclusion: The study can suggest the holistic understanding of the essential structure of the lived experiences of psychological inpatient of alcoholics. Mental health professionals need to understand the alcoholics experiences on client view and to develop the program that can help the alcoholics reintegrate into the community.

Individual Psychology Research, Pedagogy, and Clinical Practice

Individual Psychology Research, Pedagogy, and Clinical Practice Jon Sperry and Len Sperry It is with great sadness that we start this issue with a short dedication to Harold Mosak written by Crossman and Bluvshtein. Mosak died on June 1, 2018, at the age of 96 years. This dedication reviews his many contributions to the mental health profession and the theory of Individual Psychology. The next article is a conversation with Parsons and the coeditors of the Journal of Individual Psychology (JIP), Sperry and Sperry. The conversation includes a discussion of the future of the journal through a discussion of challenges and strengths of the journal, and also their efforts to encourage Adlerian practitioners and researchers to advocate and seek evidence-based status for Individual Psychology. In "Sibling Niches and the Diagnosis of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder," Rassmussen, Self, Few, and Worthen examined ADHD from an Adlerian perspective through their empirical study. A highlight of their study includes the one-in-four probability of ADHD diagnosis for younger brothers who have a sister in a two-sibling family. They discussed the controversy of this disorder and also urge that practitioners assess goal-oriented behavior and the family constellation when treating children diagnosed with this disorder. Another empirical article, "Adlerian Personality Priority Assessment: A Psychometric Evaluation," by Dillman Taylor and Mullen examined the psycho metric properties of this measure with 1,019 participants. The Adlerian Personality Priority Assessment assists practitioners and researchers with assessing their client's view of self, view of others, and view of the world. Consequently, the use of this measure assists practitioners in actively engaging in case conceptualization. The authors' findings provided evidence for an 18-item, four-factor solution while also contributing to the reliability and validity of this instrument. [End Page 93] "Two Points on a Line: An Innovative Lifestyle Assessment Technique for Guessing in the Right Direction," is a clinical piece by Guttenberg and Sebian-Lander. Developed by Rudolf Dreikurs, the technique known as two points on a line is used to assess a client's lifestyle themes and line of psychological movement. This article reviews background information, application suggestions, and a case study. Davis, Norton, and Chapman discuss how music can be used to teach Adlerian case conceptualization in their article "Using Music for Case Conceptualization: Looking Through an Adlerian Lens." This pedagogical strategy offers Adlerian educators and supervisors creative methods for using music in training students to understand case conceptualization from an Adlerian perspective. The article includes content about Adlerian case conceptualization and demonstrates the process with a case example. As a follow-up to a recent special issue, Sperry and Binensztok include a case conceptualization and therapy transcription to demonstrate the application of Adlerian Pattern-Focused Therapy in their article titled "Adlerian Pattern-Focused Therapy in Clinical Practice." Because of space limitations for that issue, the decision was made to move the session transcription that appeared in the original treatment manual to this subsequent issue of Journal of Individual Psychology.

Quantitative comparison of application–network interaction: a case study of adaptive video streaming

Managing quality of experience (QoE) is now widely accepted as a critical objective for multimedia applications and the supporting communication systems. In general, QoE management encompasses: (1) monitoring of the key influence factors and QoE indicators, and (2) deciding on the appropriate control actions as specified by the management goal. Many multimedia applications, e.g., video streaming and audio conferencing, are able to adjust their operational parameters so as to react to variations in the network performance. However, such an adaptation feature is mostly based on a local client view of the network conditions, which may lead to an unfair allocation of network resources among heterogeneous clients and, thus, an unfair QoE distribution. In order to tackle this issue, there is the call for a cooperation between the applications and the underlying network, which includes application–network interaction (App-Net) in terms of: (1) exchanging information on the monitored QoE indicators, and (2) coordinating the QoE control actions. Various App-Net mechanisms focusing on specific use cases and applications have been proposed to date. This paper gives an overview of App-Net mechanisms and proposes a generic App-Net model that provides the means to realize a coordinated QoE-centric management. Based on the App-Net model, we develop an evaluation methodology to compare three App-Net mechanisms for managing QoE of HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) against a baseline HAS service. The aim of this quantitative comparison is to explore the trade-offs between QoE gains and the complexity of App-Net implementation, with respect to the number of monitoring and control messages, achieved video quality, and QoE fairness among heterogeneous clients. Our ultimate goal is to set up reproducible experiments that facilitate a holistic evaluation of different App-Net mechanisms.

Telehealth is Face-to-Face Service Delivery.

The Commentary contests the increasingly outdated and narrow use of the terminology ‘face-to-face’ (often abbreviated as F2F) to connote clinical interactions in which both the client and the practitioner are physically present in the same room or space. An expanded definition is necessary because when delivered synchronously via videoconferencing, telehealth also provides face-to-face services (i.e., the practitioner and the client view each other’s faces). Terminology that uses face-to-face to connote only in-person care is limiting and perpetuates language that is out of line with progressive US regulatory language and broad interpretation within existing regulatory language. It is this author’s hope that this commentary will raise awareness of the important policy implications associated with this seemingly minor distinction in terminology and impact the lingering misapplication of the term, face-to-face.

A Phenomenology Study of the Lived Experience of Homeless Persons

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of homeless persons. Methods: A phenomenological methodology was used for the study. Participants were people enrolled in the Center for homeless persons in Kyunggi Province and eligible for the study. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with nine participants between October 13 and November 16, 2016. Data analysis was conducted using Colaizzi`s method. Results: Five themes and twenty meanings were formulated for experiences of homeless persons. The five themes were `Abandoning their life`, `Being familiar with a free homeless life`, `Being isolated from the world`, `Being impoverished`, `Desire to break away from the life of homelessness`. Conclusion: The study results suggest the need for a holistic understanding of the essential structure of the lived experiences of homeless persons. Mental health professionals need to understand the homelessness experiences from the client view and to develop programs that can help homeless persons reintegrate into the community.

A client side buffer management algorithm to improve QoE

In networks, streaming of multimedia content is a challenging issue. Video streaming services make up a large proportion of Internet traffic throughout the world. Adaptive streaming allows for dynamical adaptation of the bitrate with varying network conditions, to guarantee the best user experience. Recently, to guarantee a promised quality of experience (QoE), multiple rate adaptive algorithms have been proposed. In this paper, a rate adaptive algorithm is proposed that improves video quality by observing the available throughput and managing the playback buffer. The existing schemes download the segments quickly to avoid playback interruption which may fill the buffer with low quality segments and degrade the user experience. The proposed scheme manages the playback buffer and keeps the buffer filled with high quality segments. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm randomizes the segment request time to mitigate the client's biased view of network conditions in the presence of competing TCP traffic. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm significantly improves the video streaming quality.

A client focused perspective of the effectiveness of Counselling for Depression (CfD)

AbstractBackgroundIn the UK, only one in four people with a diagnosis of depression receive any form of treatment. To address this, the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme was established with the main therapeutic approach being cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). This raised concern regarding client choice, prompting the development of a new evidence‐based manualised therapy, namely ‘Counselling for Depression’ [CfD]. To date, the client's view of the effectiveness of CfD has not been researched.AimsThe aims of this study were twofold: (1) to explore and evaluate CfD from the perspective of the client and (2) to inform the counselling profession of the client's perception of what is occurring within this therapeutic approach.MethodologyThis qualitative study used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, the ideographic aspect valuing each individual narrative and the contribution it makes towards a larger account of the phenomenon from a small group of people. Twelve participants receiving CfD completed a Helpful Aspects of Therapy questionnaire after each counselling session, with ten participating in a semi‐structured interview post counselling.FindingsFour superordinate themes were identified: A helpful process, Client's view of a counsellor, Gains and Negative aspects. Participants perceived this model of therapy as helpful, feeling understood by their counsellors and able to work through issues in a safe therapeutic relationship. Negative findings related to counselling being ‘hard work’ and a dislike of the time limitation that curtailed the work.ImplicationsParticipants believed this type of counselling met their needs, reassuring practitioners that CfD is helpful to their clients.

Evaluation of VoIP Speech Quality Using Neural Network

The automatic quantification of the speech quality is an important and unsolved problem. The ability this task to be executed in real time is particularly interesting. Many parameters affect the voice quality, but only subjective assessments are decisive. The article makes a proposal to create cost effective and efficient solution for prediction the subjective speech quality assessment. A neural network is used as a customer. For training of the neural network, BYE Statistics is used. It gives the client's view for the voice quality. Result of some practical experiments is given in article.

Interactions between injured workers and insurers in workers' compensation systems: a systematic review of qualitative research literature.

Work-related injury is a major public health problem and a worker's recovery can be shaped by their interactions with employers, healthcare providers and the workers' compensation system. Most research on the effects of compensation has concentrated on examining outcomes rather than considering the compensation process itself. There has been little attention paid to the interactions between stakeholders and only recently has the client's view been considered as worthy of investigation. This systematic review aimed to identify and synthesize findings from peer reviewed qualitative studies that investigated injured workers interactions with insurers in workers' compensation systems. A search of six electronic library databases revealed 1,006 articles. After screening for relevance, 18 articles were read in full and a search of those bibliographies revealed a further nine relevant articles. Quality assessment of the 27 studies resulted in a final 13 articles of medium and high quality being retained for data extraction. Included studies focused mainly on experiences of injured workers, many of whom had long term claims. Findings were synthesized using a meta-ethnographic approach. Six themes were identified which characterised the interactions between insurers and injured workers. The majority of interactions were negative and resulted in considerable psychosocial consequences for injured workers. Positive interactions were less frequently reported and included respectful, understanding and supportive communication and efficient service from insurers. Findings from this synthesis support the growing consensus that involvement in compensation systems contributes to poorer outcomes for claimants. Interactions between insurers and injured workers were interwoven in cyclical and pathogenic relationships, which influence the development of secondary injury in the form of psychosocial consequences instead of fostering recovery of injured workers. This review suggests that further research is required to investigate positive interactions and identify mechanisms to better support and prevent secondary psychosocial harm to injured workers.

An Inclusive Definition of Spirituality for Social Work Education and Practice

A formidable body of recent literature advocates the incorporation of spirituality into the bio-psycho-social framework of social work education and practice. No consistent conceptualization of spirituality has been developed, however, that can be used with all clients and that is fully consonant with social work values as taught in schools of social work. Certain culturally derived perspectives regarding spirituality have been endorsed in social work literature in a way that does not fully honor each client's view of the nature of existence. This article proposes an inclusive definition of spirituality for social work education that considers every client's perceptions regarding what is unknowable as equally valid. Case examples, suitable for classroom education, are presented.

User-Action-Driven View and Rate Scalable Multiview Video Coding

We derive an optimization framework for joint view and rate scalable coding of multi-view video content represented in the texture plus depth format. The optimization enables the sender to select the subset of coded views and their encoding rates such that the aggregate distortion over a continuum of synthesized views is minimized. We construct the view and rate embedded bitstream such that it delivers optimal performance simultaneously over a discrete set of transmission rates. In conjunction, we develop a user interaction model that characterizes the view selection actions of the client as a Markov chain over a discrete state-space. We exploit the model within the context of our optimization to compute user-action-driven coding strategies that aim at enhancing the client's performance in terms of latency and video quality. Our optimization outperforms the state-of-the-art H.264 SVC codec as well as a multi-view wavelet-based coder equipped with a uniform rate allocation strategy, across all scenarios studied in our experiments. Equally important, we can achieve an arbitrarily fine granularity of encoding bit rates, while providing a novel functionality of view embedded encoding, unlike the other encoding methods that we examined. Finally, we observe that the interactivity-aware coding delivers superior performance over conventional allocation techniques that do not anticipate the client's view selection actions in their operation.

Adaptive multiview video streaming: challenges and opportunities

Delivering multiview video content over present packet networks poses multiple challenges. First, the best effort nature of the Internet exposes media packets to variable bandwidth, loss, and delay as they traverse the network. Second, the prediction dependencies employed to maximize compression efficiency make the reconstruction process at the client extremely vulnerable to missing data. Third, the heterogeneity of client devices in terms of computing power, display capabilities, and access link capacity necessitates customizing the streaming process per user. My article reviews existing opportunities for addressing these challenges from within each of the three main stages of the content delivery pipeline (i.e., encoding, transmission, and reconstruction). Concretely, I first describe adaptive source coding techniques that construct a compressed representation of the multiview video source that exhibits resilience to network bandwidth variations and client view selection uncertainty. Then I discuss intelligent methods for error protection, caching, and packet scheduling that organize the transmission of multiview data in a bandwidth-effective way. Here, I also review prospective multipath and cloud-assisted techniques for multiview video streaming. Finally, I identify robust client-side content reconstruction schemes and adaptive media playout methods that can minimize the impact of missing data and enhance the user's interactive experience. Then I proceed to describe community-driven streaming techniques for delivering interactive multiview content over a population of social peers. The article concludes with an outline of approaches for synergistic exploitation of the techniques I will present theretofore, jointly across the different layers of the network protocol stack at which they individually operate. Here, I also highlight the main deployment challenges for some of these techniques, and how their design should be addressed accordingly, to overcome them.

Computer Assisted Language Learning: A Client's View

Perhaps one of the significant milestones in English Language Training (ELT) in the last decade was the introduction of personal computers as an aid in the ELT classroom. Although this was mainly associated with the more affluent societies, the fact remains that major publishers were quick to jump on the bandwagon to produce a sizeable body of teaching material for CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning). Papers have also been published which deal with the topic in one way or another. The views range between hailing the computer as the best answer to the otherwise monotonous task of practicing language items in the classroom setting, and considering it as yet another classroom novelty analogous to the rise of the language laboratories in the sixties. Whatever the view might be, it is perhaps surprising that the clients, and I mean here the learners and not the institutions, have not properly been consulted to find out what they like or dislike about CALL; nor have any serious attempts been made to measure the effectiveness of CALL based programs. This paper attempts, through a questionnaire, to shed some light on the first issue, i.e., the view of the learners and their reactions to using the computer in learning a foreign language. It also tries to identify the strategies used by these learners in dealing with CALL exercises, and discusses some general issues related to the uses of CALL.

Automatic Verification of Assembling Digital Circuits by Means of Semantic Web Techniques

According to the last years the use of domain ontologies has increased considerably. In Logic Circuits, we can used the ontologies not only for educational purposes but also for interrogating the domain knowledge represented in an ontology. As well as means to verify the design of a circuit considering the manufacturer specification (offering) and the client view point (requiring). This approach allows the reuse of previously constructed circuits in different contexts.

Assessing client self-narrative change in emotion-focused therapy of depression: An intensive single case analysis.

Personality researchers use the term self-narrative to refer to the development of an overall life story that places life events in a temporal sequence and organizes them in accordance to overarching themes. In turn, it is often the case that clients seek out psychotherapy when they can no longer make sense of their life experiences, as a coherent story. Angus and Greenberg (L. Angus and L. Greenberg, 2011, Working with narrative in emotion-focused therapy: Changing stories, healing lives. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association Press) view the articulation and consolidation of an emotionally integrated self-narrative account as an important part of the therapeutic change process that is essential for sustained change in emotion-focused therapy of depression. The purpose of the present study was to investigate client experiences of change, and self-narrative reconstruction, in the context of one good outcome emotion-focused therapy dyad drawn from the York II Depression Study. Using the Narrative Assessment Interview (NAI) method, client view of self and experiences of change were assessed at three points in time--after session one, at therapy termination, and at 6 months follow-up. Findings emerging from an intensive narrative theme analyses of the NAI transcripts--and 1 key therapy session identified by the client--are reported and evidence for the contributions of narrative and emotion processes to self-narrative change in emotion-focused therapy of depression are discussed. Finally, the implications of assessing clients' experiences of self-narrative change for psychotherapy research and practice are addressed.

A simple abstraction for complex concurrent indexes

Indexes are ubiquitous. Examples include associative arrays, dictionaries, maps and hashes used in applications such as databases, file systems and dynamic languages. Abstractly, a sequential index can be viewed as a partial function from keys to values. Values can be queried by their keys, and the index can be mutated by adding or removing mappings. Whilst appealingly simple, this abstract specification is insufficient for reasoning about indexes accessed concurrently. We present an abstract specification for concurrent indexes. We verify several representative concurrent client applications using our specification, demonstrating that clients can reason abstractly without having to consider specific underlying implementations. Our specification would, however, mean nothing if it were not satisfied by standard implementations of concurrent indexes. We verify that our specification is satisfied by algorithms based on linked lists, hash tables and B-Link trees. The complexity of these algorithms, in particular the B-Link tree algorithm, can be completely hidden from the client's view by our abstract specification.
