The Soviet Union of the 1920s produces and supports multiple connections between the policy of work in factories and the research in medical, neurological, and collective physiology. The theatrical and cinematic work of S. M. Eisenstein forms a specific prism where these interconnections appear in a spectrum of concrete attempts to engage the factory as an aesthetic and political model. The factory as a concrete topos which Eisenstein exploits in Gas Masks and Strike questions the interrelations between the human body and machine in a new iconology of a striking factory. For the duration of the Strike, the factory is represented beyond any functionality: the workers’ body movements and gestures are all the more expressive the less they have to do with their everyday work. This modulated status of production appears in Capital, Eisenstein’s unfulfilled project to realize Marx’s political economy with methods of inner monologue invented by Joyce. This last project transfigures the factory strike into the structure of cinematographic thinking where the neuro-sensorial stimuli constantly strike the logic of the everyday consciousness in the non-personal, polyphonic, and intimate monologue.

Chronic insufficient sleep is a common occurrence around the world, and results in numerous physiological detriments and consequences, including cardiovascular complications. The purpose of the present study was to assess the relationship between habitual total sleep time (TST) measured objectively via at-home actigraphy and heart rate (HR) reactivity to nocturnal cortical arousals. We hypothesized that short habitual TST would be associated with exaggerated cardiac reactivity to nocturnal cortical arousals. Participants included in 35 healthy individuals (20 male, 15 female, age: 24 ± 1, BMI: 27 ± 1 kg/m2), and were split using a median analysis into short (SS; n = 17) and normal sleeping (NS; n = 18) adults based on a minimum of 7 days of at-home actigraphy testing. All participants underwent a full overnight laboratory polysomnography (PSG) testing session, including continuous HR (electrocardiogram, ECG) sampling. HR reactivities to all spontaneous cortical arousals were assessed for 20 cardiac cycles following the onset of the arousal in all participants. Baseline HR was not significantly different between groups (P > .05). Spontaneous nocturnal arousal elicited an augmented HR response in the SS group, specifically during the recovery period [F (4.192, 134.134) = 3.413, p = .01]. There were no significant differences in HR reactivity between sexes [F (4.006, 128.189) = .429, p > .05]. These findings offer evidence of nocturnal cardiovascular dysregulation in habitual short sleepers, independent from any diagnosed sleep disorders.

The heart is one of the most important organs in the human body. One way to know heart health is to measure the number of heart beats per minute and body temperature also shows health, many heart rate and body temperature devices but can only be accessed offline. This research aims to design a heart rate detector and human body temperature that the measurement results can be accessed via web pages anywhere and anytime. This device can be used by many users by entering different ID numbers. The design consists of input blocks: pulse sensor, DS18B20 sensor and 3x4 keypad button. Process blocks: Arduino Mega 2560 Microcontroller, Ethernet Shield, router and USB modem. And output block: 16x2 LCD and mobile phone or PC to access web page. Based on the test results, this tool successfully measures the heart rate with an average error percentage of 2.702 % when compared with the oxymeter tool. On the measurement of body temperature get the result of the average error percentage of 2.18 %.

The acousic comfort of woodworking wide belt sander has been evaluation by impacts of on-the-spot noise and the main single frequency noise of woodworking machine-sander on workers’ physiological and psychological load from the aspect of the noise influencing heart rate.Experimental noises are abstracted from the noise of the woodworking sander under the usual processing, as the noise source.The heart rate experiments are done under two states, namely the noise and the quiet in the laboratory.Finally, the change of human load is analyzed on the basis of the heart rate.The method of heart rate instead of traditional noise level puts more emphasis on the workers’ psychological load than traditional methods.The noise influence on human body is discussed from the aspects of both psychology and physiology. The results show that the influence of the 67 Hz noise on human body’s load is the greater than the other noises in the noise-exposed period and that of the 1422 Hz noise is the greatest and most difficult to recover in the experimental recovery course.

Infants who have experienced an episode of prolonged sleep apnea associated with cyanosis, pallor, and limpness requiring vigorous stimulation or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to restore breathing, are at risk of experiencing a recurrence that may result in death1.2. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that such infants be treated by 24-hour surveillance either in the home or in the hospital. Electronic monitoring devices "may be useful adjuncts" to such surveillance.3 Since 1973, we have monitored 270 infants at home with apnea or cardiac monitors. A major problem with monitoring infants at home has been false alarms, such as alarms for apnea when the infant is breathing, on heart rate or apnea alarms due to a loose electrode.
