The goal of this study was to prove the feasibility and effectiveness of this device, not to develop an absolutely complete model. Several desirable features are not included. One of these features is an event log. This log should record all operations, including trip inputs from existing relays, until cleared. One of the useful features of this log is to indicate what existing relays may have hidden failures. Also along these same lines, the RSS does not do any fault classification, nor does it calculate fault location. This is important information for analyzing any fault event, and the next step in working with this model should be adding these capabilities. Another possibility is the RSS could also log the values of waveforms of the effected lines during a fault event, acting as a limited fault recorder. The RSS model only considers one hidden failure mode at a time, as this is the most likely scenario. There are weaknesses to this. One example is the common practice of using a distance relay as the distance and fault detector components of a directional comparison blocking scheme, while using this same distance relay as the backup to tripping the line. If this distance relay fails, both protection schemes will provide trips to the RSS. The normal operating mode prevents any false trips in this case, but the Emergency mode may permit the trip. Communications is a feature not accurately included in the model. The system operator must be able to control the operating mode of the device remotely. In the RSS model, a user selectable switch represents this communication capability. A communications feature not included in the model is the ability to communicate back to the system operator. Another possible use of communications is to allow remote setting of relay functions. One capability not modeled is the ability to self-test for failure. This is a desirable feature in an actual system. The self-test function would regularly test all the system components. If a component failed, the RSS would remove itself from service, and send an alarm to the system operator. This is a feature to add to an actual, physical model. A final possibility to include in further work is the concept of adaptive relay settings. It may be desirable for some of the relay modes to adapt their settings for changing …

Explores origins of performance anxiety drawing on research, the Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders-5, theology of Paul Tillich and supervisory experiences of authors. Examines Canadian contextual factors like COVID-19, culture and multi-faith. Offers ways students might manage anxiety with help from supervisors and peers.

In this respect, Islamic practical theology provides certain theories and methods as a solid foundation for Islamic social work practice. Taking into account a revival of new approaches to teaching Islamic practical theology, this paper provides reflection on the methods for teaching it, based on a new and broader understanding of theology in Islam. The primary question of this chapter is: What are the best practices in teaching Islamic practical theology which prepare Muslim social work students to connect theological understanding to the everyday experience of Muslims in the community, society and the world? The second question is: How do Muslim social workers use daily life practices as an "epistemic weight" in the production of new knowledge in Islamic social work? Finally, the chapter discusses the question of whether Islamic practical theology, including Islamic doctrine, tradition, and the "living human document", holds a central position in Islamic social work.

We will explore Muslim students’ interaction, communication, and other processes, including conceptual analysis during their CPE training. Furthermore, gaps in the CPE curriculum will be addressed.

The author addresses the following questions: How do mental health providers interpret jinn possession? How do they view traditional healing practices, such as prophetic medicine, and folk medicine, to explain the phenomenon of jinn possession? The aim of this paper is to contribute to theoretical knowledge of existing research in this area and explore the possibility of improvement of the clinical practice with clients who claim to be possessed by jinn.
