Top Research Papers on Stress

Although over a hundred thermal indices can be used for assessing thermal health hazards, many ignore the human heat budget, physiology and clothing. The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) addresses these shortcomings by using an advanced thermo-physiological model. This paper assesses the potential of using the UTCI for forecasting thermal health hazards. Traditionally, such hazard forecasting has had two further limitations: it has been narrowly focused on a particular region or nation and has relied on the use of single ‘deterministic’ forecasts. Here, the UTCI is computed on a global s...

Saliva as a diagnostic medium is being increasingly used for purposes of clinical and basic research because of its composition and content as well as the advantages of the process of sampling, as compared to traditional methods of collecting blood samples and urine samples.

Es gibt Patienten, da führt die Therapie einfach nicht zum gewünschten Ergebnis. Eine Besserung bleibt aus, die Behandlung wirkungslos. Therapeuten kann es dann helfen, bei möglichen Ursachen auch an ein stressbedingtes Verhalten des Patienten zu denken – meist lässt sich dieses anhand typischer Merkmale schnell identifizieren.

The bachelor thesis deals with the stress of employees of Protherm spol. s.r.o. The work describes positive (eustress) and negative (distress) types of stress.

The questionnaire was addressed to company Protherm spol. s.r.o. and the obtained results are included in the tables and charts. Finally, there are measures proposed for the company to help to improve the work climate and this clima...

Stres je u pravom smislu te rijeci jedan podražaj koji kao takav može biti pozitivan ili negativan. Time sto mu se može dati «boja» srece ili nesrece, nimalo se ne mijenja njegov uvijek isti smisao: stres je jedan složen sustav akcije i reakcije, podražaja i odgovora. Razni modeli pokusavaju objasniti stres i stresore te njihov utjecaj na stanje organizma, bilo psihicko bilo fizicko.             Hans Selye je cijeli svoj istraživacki rad posvetio istraživanjima stresa te dao veliki doprinos u okviru bioloskog modela strsa. Povijest istraživanja stresa na zdravlje pokazuje kljucnu važnost Selye...

The results of several studies showed that the effects of pesticides, particularly glyphosate, on humans and animals, are not significant, but the results of a combination of studies showed no effect on granule formation or stress.

The stresses of postgraduate training and attempts to modify these are described, including stress counselling, and the significance of stress and the relevance of the findings for post graduate training in the United Kingdom are considered.

Psihološki stres je odnos između osobe i okoline, koji osoba procjenjuje kao vrlo zahtjevan ili odnos koji prelazi njezine mogućnosti i ugrožava njezinu dobrobit. Stresove možemo podijeliti prema intenzitetu na male svakodnevne stresove, velike životne stresove i traumatske životne stresove. Prema vremenu trajanja ti stresovi mogu biti akutni ili kronični. Tijekom procesa procjene samog stresa osoba pokušava prosuditi je li određen događaj iz okoline značajan za njezinu dobrobit ili nije. Razlikujemo procjenu zahtjeva ili primarnu kognitivnu procjenu i procjenu resursa ili sekundarnu kognitivn...

Stress is a broad concept that includes the source of stress (stressor), the stress response, eustress (good outcomes), distress (bad outcomes), and individual modifiers and vulnerabilities. Stress management in an inclusive concept that ranges from organizational protection and prevention interventions that insure individual safety and security to individual prevention methods of self-mastery and self-regulation that strengthen the person and inoculate the person against distress. Stress management extends to tertiary prevention and care giving approaches, both self-care and professional care...

The phonon properties and thermal performance of stressed silicon nanowires have been studied theoretically. The spatial confinement effect has been accounted for based on the elastic theory. The modified vibration equation and elastic modulus of nanowire are addressed due to the existence of the pre-stress field. Numerical results show that the phonon dispersion of nanowire can be changed by the applied transversal biaxial stresses, leading to that the phonon thermal conductivity of silicon nanowire can be tuned through controlling the strength and direction of applied stresses.

The role of oxidative stress in the development of psoriasis and its complications through several well studied biomarkers is discussed and an increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease, cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer is revealed.

This paper is focusing on the presentation of new ones, promising markers of oxidative stress (IsoPs, their metabolites and allantoin), taking into account the advantage of those markers over markers used previously.

Four assumptions lie at the heart of this research: how animals living in their natural environment deal with stress, adaptive features of stress, the evolutionary precursors of this response, and why has this response remained virtually unchanged in the vertebrate lineage.

The purpose of the review is to critically evaluate the effects of various stress stimuli on higher plants with an emphasis on the typical and distinctive dose-dependent responses that are essential for plant growth and development.

A direct link between misfolded proteins accumulating in Stress granules and the phase transition of these stress granules from liquid to solid is reported, providing a model connecting protein aggregation to stress granule dysfunction.

Cardiac stress testing is useful in the risk stratification of chest pain; noting that 15–39% of angiograms performed are normal.

Grammatical knowledge for the proper use of English language is important but accent is rather more significant through which the learners could express their emotions and thoughts such as love, anger, apology, thanks, complaints, etc., intelligibly. This participatory investigative study has been conducted on 80 M.A English students, who studied a core course on “Phonetics & Phonology”, to find out what are the major phonological difficulties of advanced level students even after attending a specialized course on ‘Phonetics & Phonology’. The students had to take a text-based oral test before ...

The intention of this paper is to identify the stress warning signs and symptoms, causes and finally recommend stress reduction methods.

Abstract. The present study analyzed experimentally the association between the experience of psychological stress and the physiological stress response of prospective teachers. The experienced stress was assessed by self-reported data. Cortisol concentrations via saliva samples reflected the physiological response. The results show no difference between the stress and the control group in the experience of psychological stress. However, the stress group had significantly increased cortisol concentrations compared to the control group. The study could not show any correlation between the two s...

The combination of phenobarbital and ethylbromisovalerinate is one of the highly effective and widely used for the relief of stressinduced anxiety and manifestations of autonomic dysfunction, reducing the risk of developing psychosomatic pathology.

A primer on the basics of endpoint measurements in the stress field, factors to consider when choosing a model for acute stress, the difference between repeated and chronic stress, and importantly, influencing variables that modulate endpoints of analysis in stress work are provided.

It is in his practice, nevertheless, that the psychiatrist can privilege and give meaning to his own emotional stress in order to gain deeper insight in his mode of relating to his patient.

A 71-year-old man was recently referred to the echocardiography laboratory for a stress test with dobutamine and it was clear from the conversation that the patient was strongly opposed to it.

The world of hospitality managers is characterized by myriad demands and pressures—one writer has estimated, for example, that the food-service manager is called upon to make an operational decision an average of once every 48 seconds.† This examination of stress—its roots, symptoms, and control—can help you cope more effectively.

AN ATTEMPT IS MADE, WITHIN THE GENERAL FRAMEWORK OF A TRANsFORMATIOWAL GRAMMAR, TO ACCOUNT FOR THE PREDICTABILI7V OF STRESS IN TERMS OF ITS UNDERLYING PHRASE STRUCTURE, TO PROVIDE SOME EXPLANATION FOR THE CONSTRUCTIONAL HOWNYMITY OF CONTRASTIVE STRESS IN SOME CASES, AND TO ILLUSTRATE1WITH EXAMPLES FROM AMERICAN ENGLISH AND MANDARIN CHINESE SHOWING THAT THE SOLUTION PRESENTED CAN APPLY TO MORE THAN ONE NATURAL LANGUAGE. SOME CONSTITUENT STRUCTURE RULES IN ENGLISH RELATED TO THE PRESENT PROBLEM ARE GIVEN, AS WELL AS TRANSFORMATION RULES FOR CONTRASTIVE STRESS AND EMPHATIC STRESS. THIS ARTICLE AP...

Transgenics will provide a significant stream of variety improvements in some sugarcane breeding programs and molecular markers will complement transgenics and classical breeding for developing varieties that can tolerate abiotic stresses.

In this article, I will discuss the phenomenon of ( linguistic) stress as it applies to words. Units that are larger than words (such as phrases a nd entences) can be said to have stress too, but I will not touch on these larger units her e. Right away, in section 2, I propose to shift our attention to the notion of accent, which I define as more fundamental than stress. Stress, as we will see, can be seen as a phonetic m anifestation of accent. I will provide a typology of the various ways in which accent is man ifested besides through stress. In section 3, the question as to how accent is fo...

The canonical techniques of actor training associated with Stanislavski’s own practice and writings have resulted in a dominant paradigm which, arguably, predominates within UK drama school training. The present article is the first part of a series of papers which aims to investigate this paradigm through the analysis of significant events of the audition process for the undergraduate Acting programme at the newly formed Plymouth Conservatoire – a drama school run jointly by Theatre Royal Plymouth and Plymouth University. However, it is the intention of the authors to provide material which c...

Stress is unavoidable but how much stress is safer and how men and women react to the same type and intensity of stress is a never ending debate. The present study is designed on this basis. The effect of mental stress with and without harassment in age matched males and females (15 each) on the cardiovascular parameters viz systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) was assessed. Mental arithmetic without and with verbal harassment was the tool of mental stress. SBP, DBP and HR were recorded before and after the mental task ...

Стресс – это физиологическое явление, которое имеет фундаментальное значение для выживания. Однако продолжительный или чрезвычайный по интенсивности стресс тесно связан с некоторыми заболеваниями мозга. Г. Селье первым определил стресс как «неспецифическую реакцию организма на любое предъявляемое к нему требование». Обработка стрессовых ситуаций и преодоление их последствий требуют задействования сложных механизмов, объединяющих головной мозг и тело. Реакция на стрессовые стимулы определяется разнообразными структурами головного мозга, которые в совокупности способны обнаруживать и/или интерпр...

Understandably, most of your letters are written by physicians, but I hope that you will print a letter from another profession, a Registered Nurse working primarily with dying patients.

If the authors know, which factor acts as stressor, they can eliminate or minimized its incidence, and in case of transport its better to prefer the shortest way or better weather conditions.

History can be divided into the world before the pandemic and in the post-pandemic world, most scientific studies now add the pandemic label to their analyzes, because the effect of this unusual event definitely reached all spheres of life today. Under this context, Psychology must update its concepts within the impact of the pandemic on people and Organizational Psychology will logically be within this school. That is why a topic continually addressed as stress deserves to be updated because it is undoubtedly more present in the reality that now surrounds us. Knowing the classic concept of st...

The textbook describes the concept of stress and the main aspects of the impact of stress on people. The areas of prevention of suicidal behavior, ways to overcome PTSD, features of professional burnout are determined. The concept of an extreme situation and methods of diagnosing stressful conditions are defined. For students of higher education institutions who study the disciplines "Psychology of stress and stress disorders", "Psychology of stress resistance", "Psychological help in extreme situations" and everyone who is interested in the problem of stress and ways to overcome it.

The signs of stress can differ from one person to the next and may manifest in the form of conditions such as IBS, anxiety, migraines, insomnia or depression, back pain and fatigue.

The current literature is reviewed on the potential role of psychological stress in periodontal disease progression as well as on wound healing, with highlighting the role of hormonal modifications and behavioural changes induced by the stress.

Abstract Jobs provide an abundance of opportunities to experience personal satisfaction, growth and social acceptance. However, jobs also represent a common source of stress and can put a great deal of strain on our daily life. Stress can be caused by taxing demands at the workplace or by unfavorable conditions that accompany these challenges. On the other hand, the mere existence of a job can be considered a valuable resource, and the threat of losing it could be the most significant stressor. Challenge, threat, harm and loss are cognitive appraisals that are not only determined by the nature...

In medical parlance 'stress' is defined as a perturbation of the body's homeostasis, which occurs when it tries to cope with incessant changes in life.

In response to a novel stressor (forced swimming), chronic IMO rats showed a slightly impaired recovery as compared to stress-naive rats, suggesting that enhanced recovery of the HPA axis was specific for the homotypic stressor.

The main goal of this research is to determine effective methods for coping with distress and moderating its symptoms. My research was carried out in two directions: it is research penetrating stress theories and relating to famous researchers of the phenomenon in question, such as: Hans H. Selye, Alexander Lowen, Arnie Cann, Alix Kirsta, Henri Rubinstein, Jan F. Terelak and others. Also, it refers to own research and individual ideas originating from respondents' experiences in the scope of dealing with stress. They present their own, often unique methods for dealing with distress. It is to b...

It is argued that both counselling and stress-management training are important in meeting the needs of individuals and organisations.

The MYB (v-MYB avian myoblast viral oncogene homolog) family of transcription factors is a large class of transcription factors that are widely distributed in eukaryotes and found in nearly all eukaryotes. The MYB protein exhibits the typical structure and function of transcription factors. Its protein molecular structure consists of a highly conserved DNA-binding domain known as the MYB domain

This paper discusses the interrelationships of initial stress, average stress, frictional stress, stress drop, and seismic efficiency. These parameters are determined for Denver earthquakes by seismic methods. The stress drops for two earthquakes are estimated on the basis of the seismic moments (obtained from surface waves) and the source dimensions (obtained from the aftershock distributions). These stress drops (3 and 22 bars) were between 0.01 and 0.10 of the initial stress. These small values indicate that only part of the available tectonic stress has been relieved. On the basis of the r...

Studies on the quality of education and the factors affecting the motivation of the students have increased in recent years. Hidden curriculum and education stress perception are concepts that are dealt with in theoretical frameworks designed to reveal more unions in the educational literature. In this context, the examination of the relationship between the two concepts in a sample of university students in young adulthood will be in place to understand the risk factors and supporting factors of the relationship between these two structures. Relation between hidden curriculum and educational ...

The findings of this research suggest that renal replacement therapy can become a direct source of stress among patients, and patients feel stressed because of necessity of changing their lifestyles and giving up their jobs.

Disszertaciom celja a munkahelyi stressz es a szervezeti igazsagossag kapcsolatanak feltarasa egy Magyarorszagon műkodő gyar esetenek kvalitativ szemleletű vizsgalataval. Egy gyar esetenek es helyi valosaganak feltarasaval illetve az eredmenyek melyrehato elemzesevel igyekszem hozzajarulni annak a komplex problemakornek a megertesehez, hogy Magyarorszagon miert alakulhatott ki a fennallo tarsadalmi-gazdasagi rendszer szeleskorű elutasitottsaga, a felnőtt lakossag lesujto egeszsegi allapota, a tarsadalmi tőke sulyos erozioja es a masokkal szembeni alapvető bizalmatlansag legkore.

A growing body of literature suggests that stress, broadly defined as an individual’s negative response to an aversive or threatening stimulus, is one contributor to the development and maintenance of obesity in youth. Stress has been associated with increased food intake and cravings for comfort foods (highly palatable, energydense foods) among adults and children. The literature on chronic stress and obesity risk, which is based on cross-sectional and longitudinal methodologies, focuses primarily on life stressors. A separate and smaller body of experimental literature has examined the effec...
