Abstract
The term ‘self-sabotage’ is not well defined in the current literature. Self-sabotage is generally explained as a
synonym of self-handicapping, which does not fully encompass intrinsic behaviours found in romantic relationships.
Therefore, the aim of the present study was to explore the theme of self-sabotage as viewed by practising
psychologists. A series of 15 semistructured interviews with psychologists specialising in romantic relationships
around Australia identified the main issues contributing to self-sabotage in romantic relationships and the reason
why it might happen. Future studies will need to be conducted to develop a scale to empirically test self-sabotage in
romantic relationships.

This is a truly essential aspect of your study because writing it forces you to clarify and crystallize to yourself as well as to readers what is the core point of your investigation. In some cases people who evaluate your research proposal only read the abstract; because of that it need to be truly convincing and thoroughly understandable without reading the rest of the research proposal. Avoid using jargon and define and explain all complex concepts. It is important to reserve sufficient time for writing the abstract; sometimes several hours, across many editing cycles. It is important to reserve enough time for writing several versions; producing a satisfactory one can take a whole day. Construct as many versions as necessary until the end result tells what is essential about your study (what are the questions, broader content, methods and expected results and their significance?). An abstract is usually 150-300 words long. Kai Hakkarainen About structure and content of an academ...

The article discusses the role played in the early 1950s by M. Krleža’s essay titled The Gold and Silver of Zadar (1951), as well as the circumstances of its emergence. In addition to the text itself, the analysis also encompasses Krleža’s unpublished notes from his trip to Dalmatia, his scholarly production, journalism and political discourse of that time (in the light of Krleža’s earlier literary works and essays). The aim of the paper is to indicate the ways in which cultural heritage was processed to semioticise space (Dalmatia within Yugoslavia) in the context of articulating certain political visions.

The belief in the Holy Trinity as an essential sign of Christian identity leads to a certain life style and promotes a culture of peace, of justice and of love. The apophatic dimension of the doctrine of God shows that God remains an absolute mystery which does not allow us a hierarchical understanding of him.

Crop geometry plays a vital role in ensuring proper plant growth and yield. Check row planting allows adequate space for weeding in both direction and allowing sunlight down to the bottom of the crop. Therefore, a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) navigated electronic seed metering system for check row planting of maize seeds was developed. The system is comprised of a LiDAR-based distance measurement unit, electronic seed metering mechanism and a wireless communication system. The electronic seed metering mechanism was evaluated in the laboratory for five different cell sizes (8.80, 9.73, 10.82, 11.90 and 12.83 mm) and linear cell speed (89.15, 99.46, 111.44, 123.41 and 133.72 mm·s−1). The research shows the optimised values for the cell size and linear speed of cell were found to be 11.90 mm and 99.46 mm·s−1 respectively. A light dependent resistor (LDR) and light emitting diode (LED)-based seed flow sensing system was developed to measure the lag time of seed flow from seed met...

Six months after the explosion of TEPCO's Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, radioactive silver ((110m)Ag), was detected in concentrations of 3754 Bq/kg in Nephila clavata (the orb-web spider; Joro-gumo in Japanese) collected at Nimaibashi, Iitate village in Fukushima Prefecture, whereas (110m)Ag in the soil was 43.1 Bq/kg. A survey of 35 faunal species in the terrestrial environment during the 3.5 years after the accident showed that most of Anthropoda had two orders higher (110m)Ag in their tissues than soils, although silver is not an essential element for their life. However, tracing of the activity of (110m)Ag detected in spider Atypus karschi collected regularly at a fixed location showed that it declined much faster than the physical half-life. These results suggest that (110m)Ag was at once biologically concentrated by faunal species, especially Arthropoda, through food chain. The factors affecting the subsequent rapid decline of (110m)Ag concentration in faunal spe...

Perancangan pebnelitian ini didasarkan atas keinginan penulis untuk memberikan nilai tambah pada praktikum metalurgi di jurusan teknik mesin Politeknik Negeri Ujung Pandang yang sekarang proses praktikumya masih manual. Proses perancangan penelitian ini menggunakan kamera sebagai alat untuk mengambil gambar dari besi yang sudah di treatment kemudian dengan mengunakan pengolahan citra (image processing) maka dapat dihasilkan nilai matrik. Adapun metode image processing yang penulis pergunakan adalah metode deteksi tepi (Edge Detection), hasil dari deteksi tepi ini kemudian diekstraksi menjadi matrik 10 × 10, 20 × 20, 40 × 40, dan 50 × 50 yang akan dipergunakan sebagai pola masukan pada algoritma backpropogasi. Hasil dari pelatihan inilah yang digunakan untuk mendeteksi struktur permukaan logam yang telah dipanaskan dengan pendinginan air, pendinginan dengan oli, serta pendinginan dengan udara. Dengan prosentase pengenalan sekitar 60% untuk parameter unit input 50, unit output 50, hid...
