Systems for remote detection of a person's state today have enormous potential, but the identification features of states in each system are different. States of mental and physical stress have a huge impact on the performance of the operator's work tasks, and it is important to distinguish between them. The purpose of the work is to review research on identifying states of physical and mental stress by analyzing the temperature of the subject's face and body; conducting experiments aimed at inducing a state of mental stress using the Stroop verbal-color test and physical stress after exercise and analyzing the main differences between the states and the perspectives for their use. Significant differences were found between the mean temperatures of the areas under physical stress and the standard deviation of temperatures under mental stress. The research results can be applied in applications, monitoring systems for the state of operators of complex technical and technological facilities. Stress is as a high level of emotional arousal, usually associated with mental or physical stress. To determine the stressful state of a person, a continuous analysis of physiological signals – ECG, EEG, skin temperature, respiratory rate is carried out. To overcome the limitations associated with the use of contact sensors for recording physiological parameters, methods of computational psychophysiology based on IR-imaging have been used recently. A review of the work on the formation of a thermal picture during and after physical and mental stress is provided. Experiments were carried out to register changes in the thermal patterns of the face and neck regions of 84 subjects after physical exercises and in a state of mental stress when passing the Stroop verbal-color test. A technique for automatic detection of 26 anatomical areas of face and neck regions was developed. The average value and standard deviation of temperatures of all selected areas of the face and neck regions in a state of physical stress are lower than in other states. The lowest temperature in a state of physical stress is observed in the area of the face under the nose and above the lip, which can be explained by the increased respiratory rate that occurs during and after exercise. In general, the low temperature readings compared to other conditions under consideration can be explained by increased sweating, lowering body temperature and narrowing of the lumen of blood vessels observed during exercise. Under mental stress, the average temperature values remain the same as in normal state, however, the standard deviation exceeds the same values during stress when passing the Stroop color test. Such leaps are especially noticeable in areas No. 5 and 6 – the inner corners of the eyes, as well as No. 21 and 22 – the area of the face under the nose, which is explained by the concentration of attention during the test and the frequent change in RR (increase/decrease in RR). Accounting for such changes will help expand the capabilities of new applications for assessing the current state of the subject.

Disease that is often complained by the public today one of the pain in the bone, which is better known by the community with rheumatism. Rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic, progressive, chronic and tendonic inflammatory disease of joints and connective tissue symmetrically. One way of management of rheumatoid arthritis pain is back massage therapy. Back Massage is one of the techniques to give massage action on the back with lotions/balm for 10-15 minutes, the warm sensation leads to vasodilation of blood vessels that will improve blood circulation in the area so that the activity of the cell is increased and will reduce pain, increase comfort, reduce muscle tension and improve physical and psychological relaxation. This study aims to determine the effect of Back massage therapy to decrease the pain level of rheumatoid arthritis patients in Rajadesa Village Rajadesa Sub District Ciamis District in 2018. Type of research using Quasi Experiment Design with one group pretest-posttest design. Total sample 48 respondents with total sampling technique. Data collection using experimental method with VDS (Verbal Descriptor Scale) pain rate measurement tool. The result of statistical test by using Linear Regression shows Sig = 0,000 <0,05, t value = 18,935> 2,012. Then Ha is accepted, and the average value before therapy is 3.27 with a standard deviation of 0.818, whereas after therapy is 2.23 with a standard deviation of 0.881, meaning there is the effect of back massage therapy on the decrease of pain level in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. So to reduce pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis can be given back massage therapy.

Аннотация В статье рассматривается роль и место Сирии (включая Ливан и Палестину) в системе османских владений на протяжении нескольких веков от османского завоевания до периода правления султана Абдул-Хамида II. В течение четырех столетий османского владычества территория исторической Сирии (Билад аш-Шам) была одним из важнейших компонентов османской системы и играла роль связующего звена между Анатолией, Египтом, Ираком и Хиджазом. Необходимость ежегодной организации хаджа с символами султанской власти и покровительства над святынями Мекки и Медины определяла особую стратегическую важность сирийских провинций Османской империи. Несмотря на ряд серьезных угроз во время общего кризиса османской государственности (конец XVI начало XIX вв.), имперскому центру удалось сохранить контроль над Сирией путем создания сдержек и противовесов между местными элитами. В XIX в. и особенно в период правления Абдул- Хамида II (18761909 гг.), сохранение Сирии под османским контролем стало вопросом существования Османской империи, которая перед лицом растущего европейского давления и интервенции потеряла большую часть своих владений на Балканах и в Северной Африке. Задача укрепления связей между имперским центром и периферией в сирийских вилайетах в последней четверти XIX в. была в целом успешно решена. К началу XX в. Сирия была одним из наиболее политически спокойных и прочно связанных со Стамбулом регионов Османской империи. Этому в значительной степени способствовали довольно высокий уровень общественной безопасности, развитие внешней торговли, рост образования и постепенная интеграция местных элит (как мусульман, так и христиан) в османские государственные и социальные механизмы. Положение Сирии в системе османских владений показало, что процесс ослабления и территориальной дезинтеграции Османской империи в эпоху реформ не был линейным и наряду с потерей владений и влияния на Балканах, в азиатской части империи в течение XIX и начала XX вв. происходил параллельный процесс имперской консолидации.Abstract The article examines the role and place of Greater Syria (including Lebanon and Palestine) in the system of Ottoman possessions over several centuries from the Ottoman conquest to the period of the reign of Abdul Hamid II. For four centuries of Ottoman domination, the territory of historical Syria (Bilad al-Sham) was one of the most important components in the Ottoman system and played the role of a link between Anatolia, Egypt, Iraq and Hijaz. The need to ensure the Hajj with symbols of Sultan power and patronage over the shrines of Mecca and Medina each year determined the special strategic importance of the Syrian provinces of the Ottoman Empire. Despite a number of serious threats during the general crisis of the Ottoman state system (late 16th early 19th centuries), the imperial center managed to maintain control over Syria by creating checks and balances between local elites. In the 19th century. And especially during the reign of Abdul Hamid II (18761909), keeping Syria under Ottoman control became a matter of existence for the Ottoman Empire, which, in the face of increasing European pressure and intervention, lost most of its possessions in the Balkans and North Africa. The task of strengthening ties between the imperial center and the periphery in Syrian vilayets in the last quarter of the 19th century was generally successfully resolved. By the beginning of the 20th century, Syria was one of the most politically calm and firmly connected with Istanbul regions of the Ottoman Empire. This was greatly facilitated by a fairly high level of public safety, the development of foreign trade, the growth of education and the gradual integration of local elites (both Muslims and Christians) into Ottoman state and social mechanisms. Syrias position in the system of Ottoman possessions clearly showed that the process of weakening and territorial disintegration of the Ottoman Empire during the era of reform was not linear, and along with the loss of possessions and influence in the Balkans, in the Asian part of the empire during the 19th and early 20th centuries there was a parallel process of imperial consolidation.

The extension of life does not appear to be slowing, representing a great achievement for mankind as well as a challenge for ageing populations. As we move towards an increasingly older population we will need to find novel ways for individuals to make the best of the challenges they face, as the likelihood of encountering some form of adversity increases with age. Resilience theories share a common idea that individuals who manage to navigate adversity and maintain high levels of functioning demonstrate resilience. Traditional models of healthy ageing suggest that having a high level of functioning across a number of domains is a requirement. The addition of adversity to the healthy ageing model via resilience makes this concept much more accessible and more amenable to the ageing population. Through asset-based approaches, such as the invoking of individual, social and environmental resources, it is hoped that greater resilience can be fostered at a population level. Interventions aimed at fostering greater resilience may take many forms; however, there is great potential to increase social and environmental resources through public policy interventions. The wellbeing of the individual must be the focus of these efforts; quality of life is an integral component to the enjoyment of additional years and should not be overlooked. Therefore, it will become increasingly important to use resilience as a public health concept and to intervene through policy to foster greater resilience by increasing resources available to older people. Fostering wellbeing in the face of increasing adversity has significant implications for ageing individuals and society as a whole.

Abstract A case of delayed visualization of an acute parietal epidural hematoma by computed tomography (CT) in a child is presented. The initial CT 2½ hours after injury was negative. After neurological deterioration, a repeat CT scan 8 hours postinjury demonstrated a parietal epidural hematoma and a small cerebellar hematoma. The case demonstrates the need for a high level of vigilance in head trauma patients even in the face of an initially negative CT scan.

Introduction The study analyzes the accuracy and agreeability in evaluating hyperactivity in children. Material and methods The study sample was made of 139 children of pre-school age who participated in organized forms of physical activity. The mean age in the sample was 6.38, with a standard deviation of 1.00 years. Conner's Rating Scale was used to measure hyperactivity, and tests were also conducted to evaluate attention levels. Four independent reviewers observed each child's behavior by completing the scale. Results and discussion Eighteen children, or 13.5 percent of the sample, were identified as hyperactive in the analysis. These children also scored lower in the attention level tests. The results of the study show a correlation between the evaluators to be relatively high, bearing in mind the sources' independence. Conclusion It can be concluded that there is a mid to high-level correlation between certain reviewers' evaluations. However, even with a clearly defined view on categorizing certain behaviors as problematic, category labels still differ among evaluators.

The aims of the study were: (1) to investigate the needs toward product packaging of the farmer housewife group in Maha Sawat, Nakhon Pathom province, (2) to develop the product packaging design of the farmer housewife group in Maha Sawat, Nakhon Pathom province, and (3) to test the product-packaging market from consumers of the farmer housewife group in Maha Sawat, Nakhon Pathom province. The sample included (1) ten participants for analyzing needs toward the product packaging by employing the focus group discussion and (2) two-hundred consumers for testing product-packaging market by using a questionaire. The findings elucidated that (1) the farmer housewife group and consumers needed the product packaging to have a capacity to extend shelf life of the snack, to keep and reopen next time, as well as to protect the product while packing. Besides, the packaging should have the beautiful and attractive logo which can represent the group’s identity and label which can correctly inform the product description as well as should be compact and portable. (2) The packaging of Thai rice crackers (Kao Tung) made by the farmer housewife group in Maha Sawat had the high level of average assessed by the experts. (3) The market-test result on consumers’ satisfaction towards the farmer housewife group’s product packaging demonstrated the average with 4.38 and the standard deviation with 0.55. The market-test result on consumers’ satisfaction towards the product packaging based on gender and age showed that all aspects were insignificantly different.

We studied the effect of inspired CO2 on ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) heterogeneity in dogs hyperventilated under two different tidal volume (VT) and respiratory rate conditions with the use of the multiple inert gas elimination technique. Dogs anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium were hyperventilated with an inspired fraction of O2 of 0.21 by using an increased VT (VT = 30 ml/kg at 18 breaths/min) or an increased respiratory rate (VT = 18 ml/kg at 35 breaths/min). The arterial CO2 tension (PaCO2) was varied to three levels (20, 35, and 52 Torr) by altering the inspired PCO2. The orders of type of ventilation and PaCO2 level were randomized. Compared with normocapnia, VA/Q heterogeneity was increased during hypocapnia induced by increased respiratory rate ventilation, which was indicated by an increase in dispersion indexes and arterial-alveolar inert gas partial pressure difference areas (P < 0.01). In contrast, VA/Q heterogeneity was not affected by hypocapnia when a large VT ventilation was used. Under the conditions of our study, hypercapnia did not result in statistically significant changes in VA/Q heterogeneity with either type of ventilation. Increased VT ventilation reduced dead space at all PaCO2 levels (P < 0.01) and reduced the log standard deviation of the ventilation distribution during normocapnia (P < 0.05) and hypocapnia (P < 0.01). We conclude that hypocapnia increased VA/Q heterogeneity when hyperventilation was achieved with a rapid respiratory rate. Therefore, a lack of improvement in VA/Q matching with inhaled CO2 may be associated with the use of a large VT. These data suggest that hypocapnic bronchoconstriction may be important in mediating hypocapnia-induced VA/Q inequality in dogs.

The perception of emotional expressions allows animals to evaluate the social intentions and motivations of each other. This usually takes place within species; however, in the case of domestic dogs, it might be advantageous to recognize the emotions of humans as well as other dogs. In this sense, the combination of visual and auditory cues to categorize others' emotions facilitates the information processing and indicates high-level cognitive representations. Using a cross-modal preferential looking paradigm, we presented dogs with either human or dog faces with different emotional valences (happy/playful versus angry/aggressive) paired with a single vocalization from the same individual with either a positive or negative valence or Brownian noise. Dogs looked significantly longer at the face whose expression was congruent to the valence of vocalization, for both conspecifics and heterospecifics, an ability previously known only in humans. These results demonstrate that dogs can extract and integrate bimodal sensory emotional information, and discriminate between positive and negative emotions from both humans and dogs.
