Copepod density gradient experiments near Scripps Canyon in La Jolla, CA from August to September 2017

Dataset: Copepod DensityThis dataset is from a set of three experiments conducted on August 1, September 6, and September 9 in 2017, to observe the effect of density gradients (of differing strengths) on the vertical distribution and behavior of the copepod Calanus pacificus. Each experiment consisted of three treatments: a control (without a density gradient), a tank with a weak gradient (with the density of the top layer about 0.0020 kg/m3 less than that of the bottom layer), and a tank with a strong gradient (with the density of the top layer about 0.0040 kg/m3 less than that of the bottom layer). Copepod movement was recorded with two cameras to construct 2D and 3D trajectories of the copepods. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'.

An Extended Literature Review Exploring How Relational Cultural Therapy and Emotion Recognition Impact the Therapeutic Alliance

This research explores existing literature involving the role of Relational Cultural Therapy and emotion recognition on the therapeutic alliance. This exploration is accomplished through an extended literature review focusing specifically on emotion recognition, RCT, and the therapeutic alliance, with an additional focus on art therapy. The themes discussed center around emotional expression and recognition, rupture and repair in the therapeutic relationship, and connection, disconnection, and mutual empathy through a relational-cultural lens. Themes and patterns were identified within this area of study and how this field of research has developed over time. This study found support for therapist emotion recognition abilities and the use of an RCT framework in creating and strengthening therapeutic alliances. In regard to art therapy, foundational information was found in incorporating emotion recognition and RCT in the building of alliances in the art therapy process
