This paper explores recent notions in public administration, which are intertwined and addressed to the administration of public affairs. On this basis it demonstrates that content of legal system is filled through the static legal principles and rules, but they receive their real content through the informal practices and conditions of the human mind. The paper concludes that discussed notions could have only one name, because they all are the synonyms of reciprocal relation between the human dignity and efficient administration.

The Aesthetic

The elements and means affecting the formulation and structure of the architectural buildings have been greatly developed by man throughout different ages according to the development of technology, so the dimensions and specifications of configuring dynamic buildings can be designed and controlled in order to leave the required effects on the environment and the user to serve certain purpose or function. But it seems that the process of formulating any architectural vocabulary acting on the dynamic aspect goes beyond the boundaries of the perceived dimensions and the included unperceived one; as the first dimensions may be considered namely the aesthetic aspect in architectural work, while the included unperceived dimensions may display efficiency in work which is greatly influenced by the personality and the formative attitudes of the architect, the site style and the surrounded environment, as well as the economic efficiency of the building. However, the liability issue seems to be the absence of the criterion of forming efficient dynamic configurations in architecture. Accordingly this research aims to reach this criterion as identifying the architectural attitudes; as a decisive in shaping the building as its facades, envelopes, sections or plans. Additionally, it attempts to explain the reciprocal relation between the architectural vocabulary (perceived aspects of configuration) and the unperceived one which is distinguishing the valuable architectural works. The research will attempt to analyze the elements included and the aesthetic and formative considerations while configuring the dynamic building to determine the important role played by such formation in reaching the psychological and physiological effect on the user in turn to maximize its utilization of such architectural work.

Through a cultural-historical analysis, the chapter portrays the Opera-Telephone in Munich as a special means of listening and explores its technical, social, economic, and psychological aspects. These aspects strongly reflect the reciprocal relation of technical innovation and listening to music, for example, by emphasizing the meaning of live broadcasting for listening habits and by highlighting the impact of headphone use on aural perception. The latter practice enables the transfer of the multidimensional opera event into a pure listening experience as the visual element is eliminated. The Opera-Telephone also serves to illustrate matters of social status in regard to private and public listening. In this way, opera was incorporated into the marketing of modern technical products.

Abstract Introduction Insomnia Disorder (ID) elevates risk of incident anxiety disorders and vice versa. We examined whether ID and poor sleep are associated with greater self-reported anxiety in persons with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Methods Twenty-one participants with GAD and ID (GAD+/ID+) having Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) scores ≥ 13 (mean 17.8, SD 3.6) and 14 with GAD but not ID (GAD+/ID-) having ISI scores ≤ 12 (mean 6.4, SD 3.4) completed 14 days of actigraphy and sleep diaries as well as a night of ambulatory polysomnography (PSG) following an acclimation night. Participants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the State-Trait Inventory for Cognitive and Somatic Anxiety (STICSA-T/C, -T/S), the Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test (FIRST), the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ), and the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI). Differences in self-reported anxiety (STICSA, ASI, PSWQ) between GAD+/ID+ and GAD+/ID- were analyzed using t-tests. Relationships of anxiety with retrospective (PSQI, FIRST, ISI), longitudinal (actigraphy, diaries) and physiological (PSG) sleep variables were analyzed using simple regression. Results GAD+/ID+ versus GAD+/ID- participants showed trends toward higher anxiety on the PSWQ (p=0.075), ASI (p=0.072) and STICSA-T/S (p=0.078). PSQI scores were positively associated with STICSA-T/S, (R=0.417, p=0.018, N=32). Greater insomnia reactivity (FIRST) was associated with increased worry on the PSWQ (R=0.352, p=0.044, N=33). STICSA-T/C was negatively associated with mean diary (R= -0.440, p=0.015, N=30) and actigraph (R= -0.517, p=0.01, N=24) total sleep time (TST). Actigraph mean TST trended toward lower PSWQ (R= -0.376, p=0.058, N=26) while actigraph mean sleep efficiency (SE) trended toward lesser STICSA-T/C (R= -0.397, p=0.058). Greater REM% was associated with greater STICSA-T/C (R=0.613, p=0.0005, N=28) and STICSA-T/S (R=0.516, p=0.005), a relationship also seen in GAD+/ID+ alone (p=0.03 and 0.015 respectively, N=16). Slow Wave Sleep% (SWS%) was not associated with lesser STICSA-T/S across both groups (p=0.14) but was so in GAD+/ID+ (R= -0.539, p=0.031, N=16). Conclusion GAD+/ID+ versus GAD+/ID-, show greater worry, anxiety sensitivity and somatic anxiety. In GAD, shorter and poorer quality sleep measured retrospectively or averaged longitudinally, as well as greater REM%, are associated with greater somatic and cognitive anxiety. Among those with ID, greater SWS% is associated with less somatic anxiety. Support (if any) R21MH115279, R01MH109638

Abstract Introduction Prior research has reported NREM spectral EEG differences between individuals with insomnia and good-sleeper controls, including elevated high-frequency EEG power (beta/gamma bands, ~16-50Hz) and, to a lesser extent, elevations in sleep spindle parameters. However, the mechanisms driving these differences remain unclear. Harmonics have been observed in EEG data as spectral peaks at multiples of a fundamental frequency associated with an event (e.g., for a 14Hz spindle, the 2nd harmonic is expected to be a peak at 28Hz). Thus far, there has been very limited application of this idea of spectral harmonics to sleep spindles, even though these patterns can indeed be seen in some existing literature. We sought to build on this literature to apply spectral harmonic analysis to better understand differences between insomnia and good sleepers. Methods 15 individuals with insomnia disorder (DSM-5 criteria, 13 female, age 18–32 years) and 15 good-sleeper controls (matched for sex, age, and BMI) completed an overnight polysomnography recording in the laboratory and subsequent daytime testing. Insomnia diagnosis was determined by a board-certified sleep specialist, and exclusion criteria included psychiatric history within past 6 months, other sleep disorders, significant medical conditions, and medications with significant effects on inflammation, autonomic function, or other psychotropic effects. Results Consistent with prior studies, we found elevated sleep spindle density and fast sigma power (14-16Hz). Despite no difference in beta or gamma band power when averaged across NREM sleep, time-frequency analysis centered on the peaks of detected spindles revealed a phasic elevation in spectral power surrounding the 28Hz harmonic peak in the insomnia group, especially for spindles coupled with slow waves. We also observed an overall pattern of time-locked delay in the 28Hz harmonic peak, occurring approximately 40 msec after spindle peaks. Furthermore, we observed a 42Hz ‘3rd harmonic’ peak, not yet predicted by the existing modeling work, which was also elevated for insomnia. Conclusion In conjunction with existing mathematical modeling work that has linked sleep spindle harmonic peaks with thalamic relay nuclei as the primary generators of this EEG signature, these findings may enable novel insights into specific thalamocortical mechanisms of insomnia and non-restorative sleep.
