Stress Training

Zusammenfassung. Bei Kindern und Jugendlichen mit Diabetes mellitus (DM) kann ein unangemessenes Streß- und Krankheitsmanagement die Stoffwechsellage und damit den Verlauf dieser chronischen Krankheit ungünstig beeinflussen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde ein für die stationäre Rehabilitation konzipiertes Patientenschulungsprogramm evaluiert, das als wesentliche Komponente ein kognitiv-behaviorales Streßmanagement enthielt (Diabetes-Anti-Streß-Training; DM-AST). Die Effektivität wurde im Vergleich zu einer Diabetes-Basis-Schulung in drei verschiedenen Altersgruppen (8-10 Jahre, 11-13 Jahre, 14-16 Jahre) untersucht. Insgesamt wurden N = 30 Patienten in beiden Rehabilitationsmaßnahmen einbezogen. Nach der Rehabilitation war der HbA1c-Wert der Patienten mit dem DM-AST tendenziell signifikant verbessert, während die Basis-Schulungsgruppe keine Veränderungen aufwies. Bei beiden Behandlungsgruppen war das Krankheitswissen signifikant verbessert. In den Streßverarbeitungsstilen profitierten lediglich die Patienten mit dem DM-AST. Außerdem deuten erste Befunde an, daß die Patienten mit einer ungünstigen Stoffwechsellage vor der Rehabilitation signifikant höhere passive Vermeidungstendenzen aufzeigen, die durch das DM-AST signifikant reduziert werden konnten. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, daß unser Patientenschulungsprogramm für Kinder und Jugendliche mit DM das Streß- und Krankheitsmanagement günstig beeinflußt. Zukünftige Studien müssen die Befunde bestätigen und sollten weitere Prädiktoren eines Rehabilitationserfolgs ermitteln.

Tom Murphy's Bailegangaire, premiered by Druid Theatre, Galway, in 1985 has its origins in a three-part TV drama which Murphy started planning in 1981. Of the three scripts only one, Brigit, was screened by RTÉ in 1988, The Contest became A Thief of a Christmas which was staged by the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 1988, and Mommo, the last of the projected trilogy, became Bailegangaire. In 2014, nearly 30 years after its premiere, Druid staged Bailegangaire in tandem with Brigit which Murphy had reworked for the theatre, a pairing which, in bringing the fraught relationship of Mommo and her husband, Seamus, to the fore, helped clarify the grounds of the trauma informing her endless, but never completed narrative. This essay uses Murphy's notebooks and drafts, along with a comparison of Brigit in both its TV and theatre forms, to show how Murphy progressively refined Bailegangaire into a drama whose causal chain stretches back to psychological states forged under the stresses of the Irish Famine.

Important Direction

The connection of the modern psychology and formal systems remains an important direction of research. This paper is centered on philosophical problems surrounding relations between mental and logic. Main attention is given to philosophy of logic but certain ideas are introduced that can be incorporated into the practical philosophical logic. The definition and properties of basic modal logic and descending ones which are used in study of mental activity are in view. The defining role of philosophical interpretation of modality for the particular formal system used for research in the field of psychological states of agents is postulated. Different semantics of modal logic are studied. The hypothesis about the connection of research in cognitive psychology (semantics of brain activity) and formal systems connected to research of psychological states is stated.

Learning Transfer System Inventory

O estudo em questão apresenta como principal objetivo a identificação dos fatores que influenciam o processo de transferência das aprendizagens adquiridas na formação para o posto de trabalho. Assim, partiu-se de um caso concreto de uma organização, especificamente uma organização da Administração Local. Este organismo público apresenta um universo de cerca de 500 trabalhadores, e um crescente incremento ao nível da formação profissional, com uma média anual de horas de formação/ trabalhador de 27,8. Dado este crescente incremento ao nível da formação, considerou-se de extrema importância compreender quais os fatores que mais influência exercem para que a transferência das aprendizagens realmente ocorra. Assim, no sentido de operacionalizar estes fatores, utilizou-se o instrumento LTSI - Learning Transfer System Inventory (Holton e Bates, 2002), validado para a realidade portuguesa por Velada (2007). Neste estudo foram avaliadas duas ações de formação e o número de respondentes foi de 117 trabalhadores. De forma a complementar os dados obtidos através do questionário, foram aplicadas entrevistas às chefias da organização. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que os fatores que mais influenciam a transferência da formação para o posto de trabalho são: “Sanções dos Supervisores”, “Auto-eficácia de Desempenho”, “Esforço de Transferência – Expectativa de Desempenho”, “Capacidade Pessoal para Transferir”, “Transferabilidade” e “Abertura/ Resistência à Mudança”. Para Holton (1996), a transferência das aprendizagens sofre influência de quatro grandes categorias de fatores. Assim, de acordo com o estudo, os fatores que mais influenciam a transferência da formação, fazem parte da categoria de fatores “Características dos Formandos” e “Características do Posto de Trabalho”. Por outro lado, os fatores que menos influência exercem na transferência da formação para o posto de trabalho são “Resultados Pessoais Positivos” e “Resultados Pessoais Negativos”. Estes dois fatores fazem parte da categoria de fatores “Características do Posto de Trabalho”. Das entrevistas a chefias dos SMAS é possível concluir que a importância que é dada à formação profissional é bastante elevada, no entanto a validação desses conhecimentos adquiridos na formação, para o desempenho das funções, não é realizada. A utilização do LTSI constituiu uma mais-valia no estudo da transferência de aprendizagens para o posto de trabalho, contribuindo para a identificação de situações capazes de interferir na mesma, revelando-se pertinente e útil. Os resultados obtidos de um modo geral estão de acordo com outros estudos empíricos.

Background: Anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) are complex psychiatric conditions, in which both psychological and metabolic factors have been implicated. Critically, the experience of stress can precipitate loss-of-control eating in both conditions, suggesting an interplay between mental state and metabolic signaling. However, associations between psychological states, symptoms and metabolic processes in AN and BN have not been examined. Methods: Eighty-five women (n=22 AN binge/purge subtype, n=33 BN, n=30 controls) underwent remote salivary cortisol sampling and a two-day, inpatient study session to examine the effect of stress on cortisol, gut hormones (acyl-ghrelin, PYY, GLP-1) and food consumption. Participants were randomized to either an acute stress induction or control task on each day, and plasma hormones were serially measured before a naturalistic, ad libitum meal.Results: Cortisol awakening response (CAR) was augmented in AN but not BN relative to controls, with body mass index explaining the most variance in CAR (36%). Acute stress increased acyl-ghrelin and PYY in AN compared to controls; however, stress did not alter gut hormone profiles in BN. Instead, a group-by-stress interaction showed nominally reduced cortisol reactivity in BN, but not AN, compared to controls. Ad libitum consumption was lower in both patient groups and unaffected by stress.Conclusions: Findings extend previous reports of metabolic dysfunction in binge-eating disorders, identifying unique associations across disorders and under stress. Moreover, we observed disrupted homeostatic signaling in AN following psychological stress, which may explain, in part, the maintenance of dysregulated eating in this serious illness.
