Theoretical Foundations

The theoretical underpinnings of Beck’s model of cognitive therapy are examined from a developmental perspective with emphasis upon their creative nature. This is preceded by a general discussion of what constitutes creativity. The application of the discussion to Beck’s developing theory primarily emphasizes the “case study” and “evolving systems” approaches. Major attributes and dimensions of creativity are also defined and their presence in Beck’s evolving theory for cognitive therapy identified. The basic premise of this article is that Beck’s developing theory reflects a creative process and product.

Novel Drug

The identification and validation of novel drug–target combinations are key steps in the drug discovery processes. Cancer is a complex disease that involves several genetic and environmental factors. High-throughput omics technologies are now widely available, however the integration of multi-omics data to identify viable anticancer drug-target combinations, that allow for a better clinical outcome when considering the efficacy-toxicity spectrum, is challenging. This review article provides an overview of systems approaches which help to integrate a broad spectrum of technologies and data. We focus on network approaches and investigate anticancer mechanism and biological targets of resveratrol using reverse pharmacophore mapping as an in-depth case study. The results of this case study demonstrate the use of systems approaches for a better understanding of the behavior of small molecule inhibitors in receptor binding sites. The presented network analysis approach helps in formulating hypotheses and provides mechanistic insights of resveratrol in neoplastic transformations.

Research Recommendations

Not only do Australian mature-aged entrepreneurs contribute $11.9 billion per annum to the Australian economy in over 379,000 businesses, they launch approximately 14,000 new businesses each year and actively contribute to fiscal, social, health, and active ageing outcomes in their communities. Thirty-four per cent of all young businesses in Australia are now led by mature-aged entrepreneurs, identifying mature-aged entrepreneurship as the fastest growing sector of entrepreneurship. This study is the first of its kind to examine mature-aged entrepreneurship in Australia using five pragmatic and embedded case-study examples. Aligning to Cartensen's sociomotional selection theory, we adopted an interpretivist philosphical framework of emergent enquiry action research. The paper includes benefits and challenges associated with mature-aged entrepreneurship, including contextual and theoretical foundations. We provide policy and research recommendations to enhance the development of a dedicated entrepreneurial ecosystem for mature-aged people.

Scientific Name

Kajian kes ini bertujuan bagi memperkenalkan suatu bahan berasaskan pokok tumbuhan yang belumpernah digunakan sebelum ini bagi menghasilkan patung wayang kulit Kelantan. Menerusi proses kreatifyang berlaku, kenaf atau nama saintifknya Hisbiscus Canabis telah digunakan dan seterusnya diprosesbermula daripada sejumlah debu pokok kenaf yang digaul dengan air sehinggalah kepada proses akhiriaitu menghasilkan patung wayang kulit Kelantan. Ia merupakan patung wayang kulit yang berasaskanpokok kenaf yang pertama di Malaysia. Pemerhatian dan temubual tidak berstruktur merupakan antarainstrumen utama dalam kajian ini selain daripada pengkaji sendiri sebagai instrumen dengan membina‘rapoot’ bersama penggiat seni ini ketika berada di lapangan kajian. Proses penghasilan patung wayangkulit yang berlaku sangat penting dalam analisis kepada dapatan kajian ini. Lima unsur penting telahdikenalpasti sebagai pencetus kepada inovasi ini. Penghasilan patung wayang kulit Kelantan berasaskankenaf tidak bermakna dapatan kajian ini telah menolak penggunaan kulit binatang secara total. Iamerupakan satu alternatif atau pilihan berbeza selain daripada menghasilkan patung wayang kulitberasaskan kulit binatang. Pembaharuan ini dilihat berupaya mengekalkan populariti seni teater warisanbangsa ini agar kekal relevan dan tidak dipinggirkan oleh golongan muda. Research on this case study aimed at introducing a plant-based plant that has not been used previouslyto produce Kelantan puppets. Through its creative process, kenaf or its scientific name Hibiscus Cannabishas been used and subsequently processed from the amount of kenaf tree dust mixed with water tothe final method of producing Kelantan puppets. It is a wayang kulit puppet based on the first kenaftree in Malaysia. An instrument of observations and unstructured interviews were used in this researchaside from the researchers as an actor in building rapport with the art enthusiasts during fieldwork. Theprocess of producing wayang kulit puppet is very important in the analysis of the findings of this study.Five important elements have been identified which triggered this innovation process. The productionof Kelantan puppets based on kenaf provides an alternative to the making Wayang Kulit puppet. Thesereforms help to maintain the popularity of the heritage of art theatre to remain relevant and not marginalizedby the young

AbstractPersonal development is a vital requirement of counsellor development, and educators need to consider how best to promote and support students’ personal development throughout training. ‘Self-case study’ can provide both learning and personal development opportunities for counselling students. This qualitative narrative study explores seven students’ perspectives about their experiences of completing a self-case study as a learning requirement for a compulsory introductory course in cognitive therapy at undergraduate level. Unstructured individual interviews were used for data collection. Data analysis involved identifying themes and analysing the narrative structure of stories. The findings emphasized the view that self-case study provides useful learning opportunities in the areas of theory, practice and personal development. Most participants described transformational life changes resulting from completing a self-case study. This paper presents selected findings. The ethical issues and limitations of this study are discussed. Self-case study is recommended as a potentially effective education strategy.

Theoretical Foundations

This article builds on theoretical foundations from enclave urbanism, authoritarian planning and neoliberal urbanisation to explore contemporary socio-spatial transformation(s) happening in Cairo, Egypt. Relying on a nationwide road development project, inner-city neighbourhoods in Cairo are turning into urban enclaves, whereby populations are being separated by a multiplicity of transport-related infrastructure projects. As these rapid planning processes are occurring, our article aims to explain why these developments are crucial and unique in the context of the post-Arab Spring cities. We argue that the new road infrastructure is creating a spatially and socially fragmented city and transforming the urban citizenry into a controllable and navigable body. We use an inductive approach to investigate the effects of the new road infrastructure and its hegemonic outcomes on the city. On a conceptual level, we propose that the enclaving of the city is a containment method that has erupted since the mass mobilisations of the Arab Spring. In doing so, we use qualitative analysis to explain empirical evidence showing how the city is being transformed into nodes of enclaves, where communities are getting separated from one another via socio-spatial fault lines.

A composite case study illustrates how a multidisciplinary approach can be used to improve athletic performance and overall life functioning. The use of heart rate/respiration biofeedback and QEEG-guided neurofeedback are built on a foundation of cognitive therapy. The elements in the article are taken from several successful cases over the course of several years. The athletes represented in this article range from 18 to 24 years old, are from a variety of sports, and are from higher levels of achievement.

The relationship between competition law and development continues to be a subject that excites many. The appropriate design of a competition law with developmental dimensions is a contentious issue. With the enactment of the Competition Act 2002, India joined the hundred odd developing countries that have adopted new competition laws over the last two decades. After a hiatus of seven years, substantive provisions of the Act have been notified recently. The Indian Act presents a perfect case study for the developmental dimensions of competition law. This paper explores the events that led to the enactment of the new law in India and analyses its provisions from a developmental perspective. The paper concludes that many of the provisions in the law may come in the way of the realization of developmental goals.
