Abstract:
Pastors and church leaders are increasingly using family systems theory as a way to understand normal relationship processes in their churches and to learn how to function within them. The theory helps us to see more clearly how we are emotionally interconnected with one another and the ways this can manifest either for greater personal and congregational health or greater difficulties. This article shows some of the relevance to church ministry of the eight primary concepts in Bowen family systems theory.

Abstract:
The topic of spirituality stands out in recent years as being heavily addressed in the field of psychological counseling and guidance. A similar picture also stands out when looked at from the angle of family therapies. When looking at studies made in the field of family therapy, studies addressing the aspect of family spirituality are seen to continue increasing. Bowen’s Family Systems Theory is one of these approaches. Bowen Family Theory handles the family as a system and attempts to solve the individuals’ problems by considering the environment within which they are found. The individual’s surroundings contain many situations, from family to culture, siblings to religious beliefs, from traditions to customs, and from relationships to spirituality. According to Bowen, spirituality is the reflection of the topic of God in relationships, and located foremost within the theory, a spiritual aspect is found in all important concepts, including ego differentiation and triangulations. Encountering religious and spiritual elements is possible in many of the concepts of Bowen Family Systems. This study handles the perspective of spirituality in the Bowen Family Systems Theory as one of the theories of family systems and the place of spirituality within Bowen Family Systems. In this context, first the Bowen Family Systems Theory is briefly introduced, then the study attempts to explain the spiritual dimension of the theory in light of some of its basic concepts. In addition, the Bowen approach is addressed from the Islamic perspective, and a case sample has been presented related to the intervention methods that can be used in this situation.

Abstract:
Assuming that theological reflection is an integral dimension of the decision making process involved in shaping acts of pastoral ministry, this article explores Bowen Family Systems Theory (BFST) as a resource for ministers engaged in such reflection. A case study of a ministry situation of a pastor in a heterogeneous inner city congregation serves to illustrate the dual contribution BFST can make to a minister's ability to do this essential work. In the first place, the theory serves as a personal resource for the minister seeking to assume the non-reactive stance necessary for any attempt to understand more clearly the dynamics involved in a ministry situation. Closely related to this is the capacity of the theory's conceptual framework to provide an accurate and in-depth understanding of the often unrecognized but always determinative emotional process present in a situation. Enabling ministers to “see” these systemic dynamics is the unique contribution BFST can make to the first step, description, in John Macquarrie's three-dimensional methodology for doing theological reflection and, therefore, to the last two steps, interpretation and application. All three dimensions of Macquarrie's methodology are identified. The article also examines some of the possible causes for the frequent absence of theological reflection from the practice of ministry.

Abstract:
I propose that an examination of churches with Bowen Family Systems Theory suggests that ineffective handling of anxiety within the church as a system is a main cause of conflicts within congregations. In this paper, by examining two case studies with Bowen Family Systems Theory, I demonstrate that inattention to anxiety within the church as a system is a main cause of conflicts within congregations. I will then propose pastoral strategies to address church conflicts.

Abstract:
The thesis examines the American psychiatrist Murray Bowen’s major contribution to his profession, Bowen Family Systems Theory, as a literary-critical tool to interrogate the theme of family disintegration in Tennessee Williams’s early and middle plays written between 1945 and 1962. Both Williams and Bowen were writing in a specific intellectual and cultural context in terms of post-World War II attitudes towards the American family and its social function. Bowen theory understands family as an interrelated emotional system, in which a change in the functioning of one part of the system directly relates to changes in the whole system. I argue that we find a parallel to this in Williams’s plays: members of the family do not function separately, but within the context of the system that shapes their feelings, thoughts, and behaviour. The four chapters of the thesis pair eight of Williams’s major works using the eight interlocking concepts that form the basis of Bowen theory: chapter 1 examines differentiation of self and triangles in The Glass Menagerie (1945) and A Streetcar Named Desire (1947); in chapter 2, nuclear family emotional system and family projection process in Summer and Smoke (1948) and Period of Adjustment (1961); in chapter 3, multigenerational emotional process and sibling position in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955) and Sweet Bird of Youth (1959); and, in chapter 4, emotional cutoff and societal emotional process in Suddenly Last Summer (1958) and The Night of the Iguana (1962). Not only does Bowen help to elucidate a central theme of Williams’s writing, but the psychodynamics of therapy are reflected in Williams’s dramatic accounts of the plight of the mid-twentieth century family. In the introduction I argue that Bowen theory is a useful tool for the analysis of modern American literature, developing the ways in which psychoanalytical theory has been used by literary critics to gain a broader understanding of the group context of family life in the postwar period. This will be demonstrated through the four chapters, while the conclusion considers what Bowen offers to literary studies more broadly, and what the limitations of his theory might be.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to explore and describe the intergenerational interactional patterns in a Coloured family where the mother has abused alcohol. Researchers have found that drinking behaviours of parents can have major effects on the children’s lives throughout generations. Substance abuse of a parent has major influences on the family, their interactions, and relationships, mostly between the parent and the child. There is a major gap in the study of the Coloured families and how substance abuse affects their families and children. The study employed Bowen’s constructs of differentiation of self, multigenerational transmission process, triangulation, emotional cut-off, nuclear family emotional system, sibling position, family projection process, and societal regression and utilized analytical generalization of the concepts to achieve its aim. The mother, an older sibling and maternal mother were the main sources of data although the perspective of the mother herself was privileged in the study. Semi-structured interviews were utilized to gather the data. This allowed participants to freely narrate their personal perceptions and experiences of interaction in both the family of origin and the current nuclear family. The research used a single case study of a purposively sampled family. The researcher is a Coloured female who had specific interest in this specific cultural group and their interactional patterns, which optimised cultural familiarity during the research process and reduced the likelihood of potential discriminatory racial bias of the participants. The findings demonstrate that perceptions of interactional patterns in the nuclear family and family of origin coincided with certain of Bowen’s Family Systems concepts, particularly, triangulation and differentiation. However, the need for further exploration of concepts such as the nuclear family emotional system and the family projection process in Coloured families are still needed in future studies. The findings provided insight into the functioning of the relationships and FAMILY INTERACTION IN MATERNAL ALCOHOL ABUSE interactions in both the nuclear family and the family of origin. Limitations of the current study are identified and recommendations for future studies in this field are also offered.

Abstract:
This paper will discuss the systemic family theory and its implications for practice during the covid-19 epidemic. This theory views the family as a dynamic system inextricably linked with other social systems. It is a system that is much more than the sum of its parts and has its own structure, hierarchy, boundaries, and throughout its life cycle it encounters numerous developmental and non-developmental crises. The covid19 epidemic represents a global crisis with a series of consequences for social relations, family functioning, and peopleʼs mental health. The paper will also consider the concept of family/systemic resilience, i.e. processes that contribute to protecting the family and its members in times of crisis. Given that the family and its members are not isolated, the social, national, and global levels must contribute to strengthening the familyʼs resilience process and thus contribute to the resilience of individuals. With that in mind, we will propose different types of social assistance to the family, such as strengthening spirituality as a mechanism of resilience, mastering communication skills, teaching active listening, etc

Abstract:
This paper presents a new multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) for optimum aerodynamic design of horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT). The design problem is set to find the blade shape such that optimizing multi-objective at different airfoil profiles. Combined Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory and two different algorithms (Genetic (GA) and Enumeration) are used. Flow around subsonic airfoils is analyzed using XFOIL software. WINDMEL III wind turbine is selected to improve its aerodynamic performance with different airfoil profiles technique of National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) family. Employing Genetic Algorithm embodied in Blade Element Momentum theory to calculate power, thrust and starting torque coefficients that are the fitness function. Another method, Enumeration method, is used to enhance evolutionary method results. The optimum solution acquired from combination of Genetic Algorithm and Blade Element Momentum theory of three blades configuration increased power coefficient by (25.8 %) and thrust coefficient by (16.6%). Enumeration method results increased power coefficient by (13.8%), while thrust coefficient decreased by (0.2%) from the original design. In general, the evolutionary method of combined GA and BEM theory with different airfoil profiles technique improved the turbine aerodynamic performance, and the results are in good agreement with other published papers.

Full text
Abstract:
The “k cost cumulant” (kCC) control performs competitively with other structural controllers in protecting buildings from natural disasters. These applications constitute vibration suppression problems involving lightly-damped structures with multiple degrees of freedom. While kCC control has delivered excellent performance in such applications, it gives the designer little direct influence over the shape of the cost’s density. The goal of this work is to present the Minimum Kullback-Leibler Divergence Cost Density-Shaping (MKLD-CDS) control paradigm, which enables the designer to shape the cost’s density according to a pre-specified target mean and variance. This new theory is applied to the first-generation Active Mass Driver (AMD) benchmark problem, where the application of MKLD-CDS with the Statistical Target Selection (STS) design method enables a family of stablizing MKLD-CDS controllers to be computed based on parametric targets. MKLD-CDS controllers are found that exceed the performance of a nominal 2CC controller while not compromising this controller’s robust stability.

Abstract:
Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel intelligent control scheme for a class of discrete-time nonlinear uncertain systems operating under multiple environments/control situations. First, based on the deterministic learning theory, artificial neural networks (NNs) are employed to accurately learn/identify the uncertain system dynamics under each individual environment. The learned knowledge is then utilized to: (i) achieve improved control performance by developing a family of experience-based controllers (EBCs), each of which is tailored to an individual environment; and (ii) determine real-time activation of the EBCs by developing a pattern recognition mechanism for online identifying the active control situation. In addition, a robust quasi-sliding mode controller is further designed and embedded in the overall control scheme to guarantee system stability during the transition process among multiple environments. The novelty of the proposed control scheme lies in its intelligent capabilities of knowledge acquisition and re-utilization in real-time control, enabling self-adaption to uncertain changing control environments. A simulation example is included to verify the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Abstract:
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation is a family of stochastic algorithms that are commonly used to approximate probability distributions by generating samples. The aim of this proposal is to deal with the problem of doing that job on a large scale because due to the increasing power computational demands of data being tall or wide, a study that combines statistical and engineering expertise can be made in order to achieve hardware-accelerated MCMC inference. In this work, I attempt to advance the theory and practice of approximate MCMC methods by developing a toolbox of distributed MCMC algorithms, and then a new method for dealing with large scale problems will be proposed, or else a framework for choosing the most appropriate method will be established. Papers like [1] provide a comprehensive review of the existing literature regarding methods to tackle big data problems. My idea is to tackle divide and conquer approaches since they can work distributed in several machines or else Graphics Processing Unit (GPUs), so I cover the theory behind these methods; then, exhaustive experimental tests will help me compare and categorize them according to their limitations in wide and tall data by considering the dataset size n, sample dimension d, and number of samples T to produce.

Abstract:
Abstract Realistic models of mechanical systems often depend on various parameters, such as controlled inputs, material constants, tunable parameters, and uncertainties. Uncertain parameters can be (time varying) deterministic perturbations or stochastic excitations whose influence on the system depends on the perturbation dynamics (multiplicative or additive), the perturbation range, and its statistics in the stochastic case. For a given operating region of the system, i.e. for a set of state space constraints, the behavior of the system within this region depends strongly on the type of perturbation dynamics and on its range. We present some basic theory for additively and multiplicatively perturbed systems, where the uncertainty can be a family of time varying functions, or a Markov diffusion process. The uncertainty range plays the role of a bifurcation parameter and determines concepts like discontinuities of control sets and supports of invariant measures, stability radii, and invariance radii with respect to the constraint set. It turns out that in many instances the stochastic and the deterministic bifurcation scenarios agree, and the cases in which they differ are related to a nonuniform behavior of the stochastically perturbed system. The example of a model of ship roll motion is treated in detail, revealing some of the fundamental agreements and disagreements of the two bifurcation scenarios.
