Abstract:
Responses by 43 teachers and 200 junior high school students to the 55 common problem behaviors listed on the Disturbing Behavior Checklist I are compared. Rank orderings of the two groups' ratings of the disturbingness of behaviors show moderate agreement. Both teachers and students rated several of the same acting-out, aggressive behaviors as the most disturbing to them, although overall teachers rated the behaviors as more disturbing than did students. Behaviors for which there exist the widest discrepancies in rankings are noted. Implications of the pattern of teacher and student ratings are discussed.

Abstract:
Background About 10% of health-care workers experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); the rate is higher among workers exposed to aggression. Objective We extended this research by examining PTSD and exposure to violence and other disturbing patient behaviors, among nursing and other staff on inpatient psychiatric units (forensic and nonforensic). Method Surveys were completed online or in person by 219 respondents (30% response rate). Participants indicated which disturbing behaviors they had been exposed to and ranked the worst three behaviors in each of three categories: most unpleasant to work with, most disruptive to patient care, and most upsetting. Most ( n = 192) also completed the PTSD Checklist (PCL). Results All but two participants reported exposure to at least one disturbing behavior and ranked violence, feces smearing, and screaming constantly as the worst experiences overall. On the PCL, 24% scored above the cut off for probable PTSD. Nursing staff had the highest scores, with no difference between nursing staff on forensic versus nonforensic units. PCL score showed a small positive correlation with the number of disturbing behaviors experienced. Conclusion PTSD symptoms are common among psychiatric hospital workers, not only nursing staff. Future research using clinical assessment, longitudinal designs, and measurement of nonviolent disturbing behaviors is recommended.

Abstract:
Addiction of cell phones, tabletsand computers is creating disturbing behaviors among society members universally. The purpose of this study is to describe the influence of digital heroin on youngsters that are students of top Montessori schools and how their parent’s addictive habits acts as a moderator. This research includes the survey of four hundred and fifty respondents, most of them are the parents of children aged between 3 to 8 years in Lahore, Pakistan. Gymboree (a Montessori academy by Beaconhouse), Lahore Grammar School and Choueifat was included in this survey. The results of the survey exhibit that overwhelming usage of digital gadgets has sudden and significant influence on the youngsters’ health; the greater the addiction of parents towards smart phones, greater is the tendency of a child to demonstrate disturbing behavior. Children of this age are having more interaction with digital technology but there is a very fine line between healthy and addictive usage. There are a lot of reasons why parents let their children use smart gadgets for a longer period of time, one of the reasons of which is easy parenting. This research can play a significant role for social science as well as for technological companies who need to realize that the real game lies in long term goodwill and not the short-term profitability through considering the drivers of youngsters’s psychological problem.

Abstract:
With approximately 70 percent of individuals with dementia living outside skilled care, the need for quality care is imperative. One such indicator for quality of care when working with individuals with dementia is the use of nonpharmacological interventions to treat disturbing behaviors. Disturbing behaviors within dementia are currently classified as passive behaviors or agitation. These behaviors are more about communicating unmet needs. Within recreational therapy, the Dementia Practice Guidelines for Recreational Therapy: Treatment of Neuropsychiatric Behaviors (DPG) provided protocols to assist the practitioner in providing interventions to treat passive behaviors and agitation. This case report used the DPG on a single female living in a family member’s home. Results indicate improvement in passive behaviors, she engaged not only in sessions but also in the home environment.

Abstract:
A modified 36-item version of the Disturbing Behavior Checklist was used to examine the dimension of frequency in teachers' judgments about willingness to tolerate inappropriate behaviors in regular classrooms. Two samples of clinical teachers were asked to respond to the scale developed to explore this dimension: teachers in regular classes judging for themselves and special education teachers predicting how the generality of regular teachers might respond. The two groups differed on only 4 of the 36 behaviors. Three additional questions about tolerance of the addition of seriously emotionally disturbed children to mainstream classes were posed and no significant differences between groups were found. It was concluded that teacher opinions on these questions are worthy of respect and that the dimension of frequency of behavioral disorders should be examined in subsequent research.

Abstract:
This paper investigates behaviors that a set of initial cell densities of Heterocapsa Circularisquama (HC) and Prorocentrum Dentatum (PD) and a set of environmental factors disturbing the growth of HC and PD cells formed in their growth process, which are actually fractal phenomena. First, the calculation of the fractal dimension of the set of initial cell densities of HC and PD is given in the paper. Second, by controlling the set of initial cell density, HC and PD cells grow according to a given growth target. The approximate or same behaviors of two different sets of initial cell densities of HC and PD are realized by introducing the coupling terms. Finally, the set of environmental factors disturbing the growth of HC and PD cells is constructed by introducing real parameters. Then the result that makes HC and PD cells growing according to a given growth target is reached by a proper mathematical transform to the real parameters. The approximate or same behaviors of the set of environmental factors disturbing the growth of HC and PD cells are realized by introducing the coupling terms.

Abstract:
Among the deviant human behaviors, aggression appears to be the most prevalent and disturbing one, affecting one and all. Uncontrolled aggression/violent behavior could cause a significant toll, equally affecting both involved and the non-involved. This delinquent human behavior has been well addressed in Indian yogic scriptures. It provides a theoretical framework to understand the causes, ill-effects, need for peace, harmony, and ways to correct the aggression behavior. It is also claimed that yoga is a way for inner bliss and external coherence; and with this time-tested technique, it is possible to bring about a sense of inner peace and emotional stability, thus having potential to correct aggressive behaviors. This review paper brings out the studies made to find out effect of yoga on human aggression/violent behavior.

Abstract:
This paper “queers” the history of autism science through an examination of the overlap between the regulation of autism with that of gender and sexuality in the work of Ole Ivar Lovaas. Lovaas is the founder of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), the most commonly used and funded autism intervention today that seeks to extinguish autistic behaviors, primarily among children. Less commonly recognized is Lovaas’ involvement in the Feminine Boy Project, where he developed interventions into the gender identities and behaviors of young people. Turning to Lovaas’ published works, we perform a “history of the present” and argue that a queer disability studies lens opens up the richness of autism as a cultural nexus, and deepens understandings of intersecting and contested histories of science, professional scopes of practice, and dominant futurities. The article makes a significant and timely contribution to understanding the disabling material effects of autism science in the lives of autistic persons. In particular, this case study highlights the need for feminist science studies to further investigate the historical and contemporary links between dominant scientific constructions of disability, gender, and sexuality.

The purpose of this study was to assess children's tolerance of specific problem behaviors and to determine if differences in grade levels existed. The Children's Tolerance Scale (CTS) was completed by 469 third to sixth graders. A one-way multivariate analysis of variance yielded significant grade level differences (p < .001), with older children generally the most tolerant. The more outer-directed behaviors (Negative Aggressive and Poor Peer Cooperation) were rated as most disturbing. Implications for mainstreaming behaviorally disordered students and future research are discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract This article discusses the social consequences of the impossibility of specifically defining the boundaries of the concept of mental disorder, which seems to be a “vague” term with no satisfactory definition, especially when referred to children’s behaviors. We argue that when discussing children’s problematic, disturbing or non-conforming behaviors it is necessary to understand how these concepts are related to the classificatory categories of children’s behaviors and presented as care demands, whether in common sense or in biomedical discourses. Data were collected in qualitative research developed in three different child mental health services (CMHS), one in Santos (2012) and two in Campinas (2009-2010; 2017-2018), Brazil. Based on what seems to be a relation between biological-psychological dysfunction and social-cultural expectation or response, our starting point is that agitation is also a multidimensional and vague category, presenting a description and theoretical reflection about the various concepts regarding agitation. The analysis focuses on the different uses of the concepts of agitation; the social actors and institutions involved in care demands and how they are interdependently connected; then revealing, from a sociocultural perspective, the implications of classifying and defining children’s behavior from this vague category.

Abstract:
The prevalence of sexual harassment in the workplace has become more visible thanks to the #MeToo movement. For college students about to enter the workforce, it is important to understand and learn to address situations surrounding gender-based harassment. I present here a series of situations that provide students with the opportunity to discuss behaviors they might experience or witness at work. This experiential exercise focuses on providing students with tools to manage small but disturbing offenses that can, if nipped in the bud, lessen the likelihood of more significant workplace problems. The exercise complements organizational behavior, women in business, contemporary issues in management, business law, human resources, and other courses.

Abstract:
As a result of the neuropathologic process of Alzheimer's disease (AD), significant changes occur in neuromotor function (e.g., paratonia and compulsive grasping). These changes become manifest in the moderately severe stage of AD, when patients begin to require ongoing assistance with activities of daily life (ADL), and they are prominent in the severe stage of AD, when patients are continuously dependent on a caregiver. Patients in these stages often display behavioral disturbances during care activities. These disturbing behaviors result not only from cognitive impairment, but also from a patient's physical inability to cooperate with the caregiver. When care management strategies take into account the characteristic physical restrictions resulting from the neuromotor changes that accompany advanced AD, the caregiving process may be significantly facilitated.

Abstract:
Every year, agriculture experience significant economic loss due to wild geese, rooks and other flocks of birds. A wide range of devices to detect and deter animals causing conflict is used to prevent this, although their effectiveness is often highly variable, due to habituation to disruptive or disturbing stimuli. Automated recognition of behaviors could form a critical component of a system capable of altering the disruptive stimulus to avoid habituation. This paper presents an audio-visual-based approach for recognition of goose flocking behavior. The vocal communication and movement of the flock is used for the audio-visual recognition, which is accomplished through classifier fusion of an acoustic and a video-based classifier. Acoustic behavior recognition is based on generalized perceptual features and support vector machines, and visual behavior recognition is based on optical flow estimation and a Bayesian Rule-Based scheme. Classifier fusion is implemented using the product rule on the soft-outputs from both classifiers. The algorithm has been used to recognize goose flocking behaviors (landing, foraging and flushing) and have improved the performance compared to using audio- or video-based classifiers alone. The improvement of using classifier fusion is most evident in the case of flushing and landing behavior recognition, where it was possible to combine the advantages of both the audio- and video-based classifier.

Abstract:
Background: Incivility, lack of professionalism, distrust and uncaring behaviors negatively impact the teaching and learning environment. Nurse educators concluded that many of these disturbing trends could be prevented and/or managed effectively if faculty and students were educated about expected professional behaviors.Aim: To promote a healthy academic community through the engagement in activities focused on professional behaviors among nursing faculty and students.Methods: Professional development activities were planned to promote a healthy academic community by educating faculty and student participants regarding professional behaviors in the teaching and learning environment. Faculty and student initiatives were designed to promote wellness, professionalism, civility, caring, and trust. The initial activities were entitled, “This Is Who We Are.”Results: Initial outcomes included a position statement created and signed by faculty to facilitate professional behaviors. Students created and signed a position statement exemplifying the desired behaviors of the cohort.Conclusions: Engagement activities are ongoing involving all faculty and all nursing student cohorts during their first semester in nursing school with additional training and updates planned. Initial anecdotal evidence from faculty and students regarding the benefits of these offerings are strongly supportive and demonstrate the beginning steps to a healthy academic environment in nursing education.

Abstract:
Aggressive behavior is a complex phenomenon that attracts attention because of it’s reinforced in the modern world, and whose long-term study didn’t give any permanent solution to combat this, certainly undesirable behaviors. The reason for the study of aggressive behavior in primary schools is that the school as an institution, which are traditionally considered safe place of children today become a place where more and more present increased aggressiveness students. School climate, school organization and it’s work can pose to students as a protective factor, and so disturbing factor and cause behavioral problems in students. At school there are many different social situations and contacts, some of which are risk factors for the emergence and expression of aggressive student behavior. Therefore, we need to determine what are the situations in the everyday school, which can be a potential source of aggression. The goal of our research is to determine what the type of aggressive behavior are represented in the school and to determine which school situations lead to the manifestation of aggressive behavior in students. Levels of aggression among older elementary and high school students is extremely high, with all the dramatic consequences, even though research shows that aggression and violence by the age groups of students in Serbia is below the average of other countries.

Full text
Abstract:
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) defines echolalia as a pathological, parrotlike, and apparently senseless repetition (echoing) of a word or phrase just uttered by another person and classifies this condition among the “restrictive and repetitive behaviours” of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The authors reviewed the existing literature on echolalia and its role in the development of children with ASD. Current conceptualizations include echolalia among repetitive behaviors and stereotypies and thus interpret this symptom as lacking any communicative significance, with negative effects on learning and sensory processing. Echoic behaviors, however, have been described in neurotypical infants and children as having a substantial effect on the consequent development of language and communication. Relevant research has documented a functional role of echolalia in ASD children as well since it facilitates the acquisition of verbal competencies and affords a higher degree of semantic generalization. This developmental function could be restricted to specific contexts. Considering echolalia as stereotypy and treating it as a disturbing symptom could impair the development of ASD-specific learning and communication processes. In light of this evidence, the authors propose a different conceptualization of echolalia and suggest that this symptom be considered among atypical communication patterns in children with ASD, with implications for treatment and prognosis.

The purpose of the study is to investigate students’ problem behaviors observed by primary school teachers and to determine the relationship between these behaviors and teacher’s gender, age and teaching experience. 100 primary school teachers from Diyarbakır, Mardin and Aydın provinces were participated in this research study. The sample group for the study was selected using a random sampling method. A relational survey method was used for this study. Data were collected through the use of two instruments: Students’ Misbehaviour in Class Scale (Balcı, Çapri, Çelikkaleli & Büte, 2006) and Demographic Information Form. According to results, "not talking without permission”, “disturbing other students”, “disturbing others by wiggling” and “throwing things to classmates” are reported by teachers as most frequently observed misbehaviors. On the other hand, not significant relationships were found among teachers’ views on primary school students’ classroom problem behaviors according to their gender, age, and teaching experience.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.

Abstract:
Empathy, a concept that involves an interpersonal experience is found in all aspects of the social universe, especially in prosocial behavior, morality and regulation of aggression. In the context of the major medical and social crisis caused by the pandemic, the need to develop empathic social skills becomes a pressing need. Anxiety generated by the threat of disease and death has led to the emergence of paradoxical individual or social behaviors. Thus, by disturbing the cognitive harmony of the individual - irrational thoughts in relation to contamination and illness or on the contrary the denial of the disease was destructured emotional harmony (anxiety, depression, psychosomatic manifestations) with adverse consequences at the individual and subsequent social level. The objective manifestation of disharmonious cognitions and emotions materialized in the manifestation of maladaptive behaviors. The present paper is an analysis of the two theories on empathy - Simulation Theory and Mind Theory in order to improve prosocial behavior in a pandemic context. Studies show the significant influences of social and cultural factors on the empathic capacity of the individual. In this sense, it is important to emphasize that empathic skills can be learned and developed in relation to the environment and the social context. Understanding the concept of social empathy is important by being able to provide a model of thinking and action that opens new ways of contextual approach to the current situation that could ultimately lead to alleviating the crisis and improving social conditions by adopting an adaptive behavior in according to the limits imposed by the new epidemiological situation.

The adolescence is recognized as one of the most rapid moments of life, full of strong emotions and it is considered as the process of individuals maturing regard to the individual development. In this period of life teenagers will be accompany of the main phenomena as Aggressive and Antisocial behavior, that moment is a disturbing phenomena that is shacked and troubled Albanian family and society, which can appear in the form of verbal or physical. The object of my research is based on literature review of the adolescent aggression and antisocial behavior during development , including theoretical and empirical data in the Albanian society. During valuation is important to identify the functions and forms of aggression and Antisocial Behavior. At the time of dictatorship was talk very little about adolescence, about their desires and emotions. This kind of state cared to grow up the new man, worthy and the service of communist society. While teens studies today are getting more and more spread in our country. The methodology used in this analysis focus on articles, dissertations and current scientific studies of known as well as can the reality and trends of adolescent aggressive behavior in Albanian. Selection criteria include 1. Topics 2. Type of paper (books, magazine, dissertation) 3. Papers methodology 4. Year of publication. Were included in this study 10 books, 30 articles, 30 work degree. Eventually were selected from all of them 5 books, 5 articles and 10 Bachelor and Master degree to be included in this summary. Conclusions: This study is sheds light clearly on the lack of empirical scientific studies on understanding this phenomenon of adolescence Aggression and Antisocial in Albanian society, while these studies are very detailed in the world. The selected current studies have methodological problems and may not be comprehensive for whole Albania areas, where many lifestyle aspects are different. This summary allows raising questions that in the future research may guide right studies in this field

Abstract:
This paper presents an experiment investigating the impact of behavior and responsiveness on social responses to virtual humans in an immersive virtual environment (IVE). A number of responses are investigated, including presence, copresence, and two physiological responses—heart rate and electrodermal activity (EDA). Our findings suggest that increasing agents' responsiveness even on a simple level can have a significant impact on certain aspects of people's social responses to human-oid agents. Despite being aware that the agents were computer-generated, participants with higher levels of social anxiety were significantly more likely to avoid “disturbing” them. This suggests that on some level people can respond to virtual humans as social actors even in the absence of complex interaction. Responses appear to be shaped both by the agents' behaviors and by people's expectations of the technology. Participants experienced a significantly higher sense of personal contact when the agents were visually responsive to them, as opposed to static or simply moving. However, this effect diminished with experienced computer users. Our preliminary analysis of objective heart-rate data reveals an identical pattern of responses.

Abstract:
Introduction: Bullying behavior committed by fellow students at school is always associated with the search for self-identity and social status, but the behavior is very disturbing and has caused many victims. This study is to analyze the relationship of knowledge about bullying in adolescents and its influence on bullying behavior among peers. Methods: Data for this exploratory study were collected using a cross-sectional model. The study sample consisted of 80 students at SMAN 1 Kebomas Gresik who met the inclusion criteria. The independent variable is bullying knowledge. The dependent variable is bullying behavior. Two questionnaires were used in this study, knowledge about bullying and bullying behavior. The statistical test used is the Spearman Rank test with a significance level of α = 0.05.Results: the average sex of the respondent was 1.38 (SD: 0.487), the average age of the respondent was 1.90 (SD: 0.739), the average socioeconomic respondent was 2.75 (SD: 0.490), the average occupation of the respondent was 2.05 (SD: 0.525), the average bullying behavior of respondents is 1.40 (SD: 0.668), and there is a positive-negative relationship between knowledge and bullying behavior in adolescents (p = 0,000).Conclusion: increased knowledge about bullying can reduce bullying behavior. This is necessary for health education to improve understanding of the terror behaviors that are usually carried out by adolescents as a result of the moral release response from the growth and development process that is always experienced by adolescents so that they leave the knowledge possessed

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Postburn itch is one of the disturbing symptoms that persist throughout the burn wound healing period. Parents often assume the responsibility to respond to their child’s symptoms; consequently, their responses to their child’s symptoms contributed to the child’s symptom experience and long-term outcomes. To date, literature examining parental behaviors in response to symptoms has been limited to children with pain. This study examined parents’ behavioral responses to itching in young children with burns. Methods:: This analysis was part of a larger descriptive study that examined parental behavioral and psychological responses to children’s itch following the child’s unintentional burn injury. Parents of young children with deep second or third-degree burns were recruited. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents to learn about parental behavioral responses to the child’s itching. The Adult Responses to Children’s Symptoms (ARCS) scale was used to evaluate parental responses as part of the interview. The ARCS scale consists of 29 items that allow parents to self-report their responses to children’s itch. However, four items were excluded: three items were not appropriate to the study sample; one item related to sleep because children’s sleep pattern has been dramatically disturbed. We used the inductive content analysis that adapted from Grounded Theory to analyze the data. Results Twenty parents of children 34 (±11.5) months with moderate to severe burns 11.2% (±8.7%) total burn surface area (TBSA) participated in the interview. The mean length of time since burn injury was 6.4 (±3.1) months. Persevering through Devastation was the core construct that captured the lived experience of parental itching management. Parental behavioral responses to their child’s itch involved shifting their children’s attention, touching the scar, and tending to the itching scar. Data triangulation revealed that the ARCS scale captured parent behaviors in response to their child’s itch that was not reported in the interview. Conclusions Parents were devastated when they struggled on their own to relieve their child’s incessant itching during the prolonged wound healing stage. They cared for children with perseverance in the face of traumatic burn event; however, some parents responded to their child’s distress and call for comfort with anger or reactive behavior.

Full text
Abstract:
Verified emissions announcements are the most influential events in the European Union emissions trading scheme (EU ETS); they reveal demand information and have a significant impact on the carbon market. The extant literature tends to focus on examining the impacts of these verification events on the prices of carbon allowances, while scholars barely discuss how trading behaviors react to the announcements. Moreover, most of the studies are carried out from a macroeconomic perspective. This paper fills this gap by analyzing the impacts of the verified emissions announcements on the comoves of trading behaviors and carbon prices in Phase I (2005–2007) and Phase II (2008–2012). Specifically, we construct GARCH models to investigate the events’ heterogeneous influences in different periods, i.e., the complete periods, the announcement periods, the pre- and post-announcement periods. We observe that the verified emissions announcements boost the volume of compliance trading, particularly in Phase I. Furthermore, we show that the over-allocation of carbon allowances can be even more influential in disturbing the comoves than the verification events. Our microeconomic findings confirm the maturity of EU ETS in Phase II, exhibiting good agreement with the extant macroeconomic literature.

Abstract:
IntroductionKoro syndrome is a culturally related disorder characterized by intense anxiety that the penis (vulva or nipples in females) is shrinking or retracting and will recede into the body. Usually it occurs in epidemics in Southeastern Asia, being extremely rare in western countries. The condition is more common in males and is classified within Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders.Case reportA 27-year-old single man was referred to the psychiatric department. By the age of 23, he began worrying that his penis was shrinking and retracting into the abdomen. He described these thoughts as intrusive, ridiculous and repetitive. During the first months the thoughts were not very disturbing but he progressively developed an urge to verify the length of his penis several times a day. To diminish the anxiety provoked by the obsessive doubts on penis length, he started to have repetitive thoughts and mental images about sexual acts, to consume pornography compulsively and to increase his masturbatory behaviors (from some times a week to several times a day). He described those thoughts and behaviors as unpleasant and uniquely driven to reduce anxiety provoked by obsessions.He was prescribed fluvoxamine 200 mg/day and initiated cognitive behavioral therapy with good response. Y-BOCS score decreased from 30 at initial evaluation to 18 after 3 months of treatment.ConclusionsKoro syndrome is a very rare condition in psychiatry in western countries, usually presenting secondarily to other psychiatric disorders. Awareness of this diagnosis and knowledge on its management are critical to provide optimal care to patients.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:
The study aimed to measure the pre-operative oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and to identify patient and teeth pathologies associated with worse OHRQoL among patients attending mandibular third molar tooth extraction. Data were collected preoperatively from 199 patients attending surgical removal of their mandibular third molar. To that end, we measured the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) and analyzed its association with: (1) demographics; (2) health-related behaviors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and dietary habits; (3) Plaque Index (PI); (4) Decay, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT); and (5) clinical characteristics related to third molar extraction, such as the indication for extraction, tooth angulations, and radiographic pathology. The mean age of the study population was 21.5 ± 3.2 years and the mean OHIP-14 global score was 22.5 ± 8.3. The present study identified patient and teeth profiles that are associated with worse pre-operative OHRQoL in patients attending mandibular third molar extraction. The “vulnerable patient” profile includes poor health-related behaviors, particularly the performance of physical activity less than once a week (p = 0.028). The “disturbing teeth” profile includes higher plaque scores (p = 0.023) and specific characteristics of the third molar teeth, such as pericoronitis (p = 0.027) and radiolucency around third molars in panoramic radiography (p < 0.001). These findings support the hypothesis that OHRQoL is a complex phenomenon which is associated with the patient’s health-related behaviors as well as with specific tooth pathologies.

IntroductionSo far, autism etiology is not known yet, it is believed that is due a combination of neurobiological, structural, genetic and environmental factors. This disorder is characterized by social interaction and communication impairments and presence of restricted and repetitive behaviors. Some authors have spoken about Sensorial Perception Theory that tries to explain how sensorial impairment of people with autism causes “strange” conducts, as a protective mechanism to stimuli they perceive as disturbing.ObjectivesTo highlight the role of sensorial perception in people with autism in their way of interacting over the environment.Methodsystematic review of the literature in English (PubMed), with the following keywords: “Autism”, “sensory perception”, and “Asperger syndrome”.ResultsAccording to Sensorial Perception Theory, people with autism perceive sensorial information from environment in different ways. It is believed that each sense operates as a hyper or hyposensitive sense, according to the intensity and the moment the stimulus is produced. This fact provokes “abnormal” responses as repetitive or restricted behavior, in order to protect themselves form the disturbing stimuli.ConclusionsSensorial hyper o hyposensitive may be related to the strange behavior that can be present in people with autism. If we could interpret such conducts, we will be able to imagine how patients are perceiving the world and then we could help them to develop strategies in order to function more properly.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:
Abstract A psychiatric hospital is a special place. People undergoing treatment are in a unique situation. Mental illness remains a mystery for scientists because we do not know what factors influence its appearance. There were also no drugs that would completely cure the patient, as you never know whether the medicine will affect a particular person. Mental illnesses evoke anxiety and fear of the community. Some patients take disturbing or dangerous actions. Their behaviors are referred to as specific and different ones. A similar situation is caused by the appearance of psychotic symptoms. One should pay attention to delusions and hallucinations here. These symptoms cause the patient’s situation to deteriorate. Ultimately, they can cause dangerous behavior. It happens that a relative of a patient, who is in such condition, must take action without his/her consent. A similar issue has been analyzed in Poland for almost thirty years. Individual regulations, in exceptional cases, allow for undertaking coercive actions: treating the patient without consent, applying direct coercion. These interventions are controlled. Polish psychiatric legislation is constantly changing (new control institutions are introduced, the role of the family court is increased). This article presents the latest amendments. They are based on the principle of respect for human rights and freedoms.

Abstract:
The rapid development of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia, as well as the spread of COVID-19 which has almost reached all provinces in Indonesia with the number of cases and the number of deaths increasing, has put Indonesia in a public health emergency. The high number of cases of death in Indonesia with CFR (5.0%) is very disturbing and worrisome for the community. Our review focuses on the epidemiology of the spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia as well as changes in people's attitudes and behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. Indonesia is also infected by this virus. COVID-19 in Indonesia first reported two cases on March 2, 2020. On March 11, 2020, for the first time an Indonesian citizen died from Covid-19. East Java Province is the province with the most positive cases found. Because a vaccine that can dispel COVID-19 has not been found, in the end the Stay At Home movement is the most appropriate alternative to reduce the chance of contracting COVID-19 while maintaining cleanliness such as providing disinfectants, using masks, washing hands, exercising physical distance, avoiding crowds and so on. -Other etc. As a result, all activities are hampered, be it in the fields of economy, tourism, and others. Of course, many losses have been caused. However, seen from the obstacles that have occurred, there have been some significant changes that have occurred, especially in the attitude of the community so that they can continue their activities until these attitudes have turned into new habits. What is most visible from changes in community behavior is the discipline of people wearing masks, maintaining physical distance, and always maintaining hand hygiene. In essence, many innovative behaviors suddenly emerged during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Abstract:
Autism is a vast developmental disorder with significant delays and problems in participation in alternate social interactions. Studies show that nearly half of the population with various forms of autism participates in social life, although their profile of emotional and social deficits remains highly diversified. Impairment within a social sphere includes a limited disposition and ability to recognize, to understand and to engage in human contact and interpersonal communication. Parents /guardians are the first observers of disturbing behaviors of a child and the first initiators of building a close relationship with their offspring. Their observations are the determinants of the criteria of early detection of autism spectrum disorders. The biggest problem for parents is the inability of their children with autism to show affection. The goal of this article is to show the development profile of social relationships of young children with autism in contacts with their relatives and the analysis of conditions in the child – parent attachment relationship in this group of disorders.

Abstract:
EMDR is an integrative, client-centered psychotherapy approach that emphasizes the brain’s information processing system and memories of disturbing experiences as the bases of those pathologies not caused by organic deficit or insult. EMDR addresses the experiences that contribute to clinical conditions and those needed to bring the client to a robust state of psychological health. Overviews of the history, development, and research that have established EMDR as an empirically supported treatment are provided. Subsequent to an explanation of the adaptive information processing model, an extended case example is used to illustrate the recommended EMDR case conceptualization and eight phases of treatment. This approach is used to process the early memories that set the foundation for the pathology and the present situations that trigger the dysfunction, while providing templates for appropriate future action that incorporate the information and behaviors needed to overcome skill and/or developmental deficits. The benefits of integrating EMDR and family systems perspectives to provide the most comprehensive therapeutic effects are described.

Abstract:
It’s not easy to be the parent of a child with any sort of disability. However, through my experience as a clinical psychologist, I must admit that the challenges faced by parents of children having autism are perhaps the most moving. It is undeniably stressful for parents to have a child who is even minimally different from his/her typically developing peers, with varying degrees of severity in the impairment (if any); but, research has proved that to be a parent of a child having autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can lead to acute as well as chronic stress among the caregivers1,2. Children with ASD typically present with persistent deficits in their socio-communicative interactions along with restricted and repetitive behaviours3. For parents, learning to deal with their child’s impoverished communication skills and behavioral problems such as refusal to sleep and intense behavioral meltdowns can be a cause for pain and confusion4. According to an article by Zach Gouldsmith on ‘Stress of parenting a child with Autism Spectrum or Related disorders’ published in AAPC Publishing, several children having autism exhibit behaviors that are regarded as “unusual,” and sometimes even “disturbing,” which makes parents anxious about social disapproval from other parents5. There appears to be a universal deficit in the knowledge and understanding that parents have about ASD, which translates into a generalized lack of acceptance of individuals with this disability than any of the others.

Abstract:
The neutral axis position is considered as a potential parameter of early abnormal and long term performance for flexural members of structures. This paper is to propose the Neutral Axis Indicator (NA) based on strain measurements, to evaluate the behavior of NA, and to investigate challenges associated with the neutral axis for structural health monitoring purpose. A numerical example of a simply supported reinforced concrete (RC) beam was first developed and analyzed followed by an experimental study for further verification. With the aim of application to real bridges, a case study was conducted on Gantao River Bridge, a typical concrete box girder bridge, for detailed analysis using field data. The numerical and experimental examples, as well as field tests, aim to figure out: (1) the sensitivity of NA to structural damages, especially at early age; (2) stability and uncertainty of NA using field data; (3) capability of NA on detecting abrupt and slowly changing structural degradation. The results show that: NA takes on good index accuracy and damage sensitivity on numerical and experimental cases; NA tends to keep constant during linear elastic phase, while responses quickly and sharply to nonlinear behaviors such as concrete cracking and hardening; and NA is a potentially reliable indicator both to capture nonlinear performance and to detect minute damage. Additionally, the uncertainty of multiple disturbing effects can be mostly eliminated through statistical analysis. Thus, it can be employed effectively in condition assessment of concrete box girder bridges for long-term health monitoring.

Abstract:
The term "special education" is used, in most cases, for the education of children with learning disabilities, emotional problems, behavioral difficulties, severe physical limitations, or difficulties related to low cognitive abilities. "Gifted education", on the other hand, is used for educating the more able, children with high learning ability or special talents, creative children or children who had achieved highly in school-related or any other area, such as chess, music, painting, etc.However, many gifted children belong to both categories. Some suffer from problems or irregularities unrelated to their giftedness, for example – learning disabilities (e.g. dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, ADHD), or physical limitations, such as hearing loss, blindness, or paralysis. Some have to deal with issues directly or indirectly connected to their giftedness. For example: social acceptance has to do with conforming to the classroom norms, speaking about subjects considered age-appropriate, or being careful not to use "high level" vocabulary. A gifted child might find it difficult to participate in activities he or she has no interest in, not expressing feelings or ideas because they might seem odd to the peers, or thinking before using any rare or unconventional word or expression. A gifted child who is bored in the classroom might adopt behaviors such as abstention from activities, daydreaming or becoming the "classroom clown" and disturbing the teachers with voice-making, making jokes at others' expense or even at the teacher's. Such behaviors – not necessary a result of the child's giftedness but related to it – lead, in many cases, to labeling the child as "badly adjusted", "socially misfit", "isolated", or the like.In this article I intend to describe the social and the educational difficulties the gifted child has to deal with in the regular as well as in the gifted classroom and present techniques which might help overcoming them. I will present in detail four , all gifted with either learning disabilities or emotional problems, and the successful interventions they had gone through until reaching reasonable results.

Abstract:
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an important disorder which is disturbing the quality of life and is characterized by repetitive thoughts and behaviors, now in a different category in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM 5). Neuroimaging investigations are very useful to reveal a neurobiological model of the OCD. Studies conducted in the last quarter century have shown clear results and revealed that specific cortico-subcortical circuits could be involved in the occurrence of OCD symptomatology. These neuroimaging studies pointed out some important findings for OCD patients. Our present information implicates some problems in some cortico-subcortical in the pathophysiology of OCD. In the present paper, final information on the neuroanatomy and neurochemistry of OCD was reviewed, revising the effects of anti-obsessional drugs on the structural and functional neuroimaging studies. As can be seen in the review, drug treatments can generally affect the brain structurally and functionally, suggesting that brain of OCD tends to neuroplasticity. However, it is not clear that these effects of pharmacotherapy are related to anti-obsessional drugs per se or impact on the improvement of the disorder.

Abstract:
The basis for regulating behavior in society is social norms that fix the existing system of values of society. The changes that are currently taking place in all spheres of modern Russian society are undermining the established foundations of life and disturbing the balance of the entire system as a whole. The greatest influence, and above all negative, they have on the development of culture and spiritual life. The ongoing reassessment of values leads to a decline in the significance of certain norms. The value-normative uncertainty characteristic of modern Russian society actualizes the problem of studying deviance in its environment. Modern Russian youth is focused on rapid achievement of high material well-being, but socially approved means of achieving success are very limited. The spread and popularization of new destructive behaviors in the youth environment at the current level of development of technical means of communication is much faster than the scientific and pedagogical community responds to these risks. The reasons for the increase in negative deviation in Russia are also, first, the changed system of values, in the structure of which the rapid achievement of material well-being, understood as enrichment, is rapidly beginning to dominate; second, the blurring of social norms leads to the destruction of even elementary moral prohibitions, which allows a significant part of individuals to enter into various kinds of connections with criminal structures. Based on the analysis of the works of classics of sociology and the results of empirical research, the article describes deviant behavior in terms of changing social forms in the minds of young people. Respondents were selected for focus groups using the snowball method. 20 students living in a dormitory of Kazan Federal University were selected, including students living on the territory of the Universiade Village and students living on the campus of KFU.

Abstract:
Low back pain (LBP) is the most frequent cause of adult disability. One of the main reasons can be a herniated disc (lumbar disc herniation—LDH), potentially disturbing spinal movement patterns. Its influence on gait and lumbopelvic biomechanics still remains unclear. Little to no evidence was found on lumbopelvic kinematics and gait in young LDH adults. The purpose of this study was to analyze the lumbopelvic biomechanics in young adult individuals with lumbar disc herniation diagnosed by MRI. Forty-three participants (18–35 years) were divided into two groups: an LDH group (n = 19) and a control group (n = 24). All participants underwent dynamic lumbopelvic and gait measures by a G-Walk wearable device in a 6-m walking test (6MWT). The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire was used for subjective disability assessment. The LDH group showed higher speed (p = 0.02), lower symmetry of pelvis tilt (p = 0.01), and lower pelvis rotation (p = 0.04) compared to the healthy controls. Correlation calculations showed significance between pelvis obliquity and pelvis rotation (r = 0.53) but only in healthy controls. The lumbopelvic biomechanics shows differences in pelvis tilt and symmetry index of rotation parameters between LDH and healthy controls. In conclusion, LDH affects the gait kinematics, causing three-dimensional disorders and lack of synergy. This is probably due to pain avoidance behaviors and the compensation mechanisms of the adjacent body region.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Use of physical restraints has undesirable sequelae. As they weigh the risks and benefits of protocols for reducing the use of restraints, staff members in intensive care units, where restraints are most used in hospitals, need to know how well elderly patients remember being restrained and how patients perceive the use of restraints. OBJECTIVES: To estimate the proportion of patients who remember being restrained, describe the experience from the patients' perspectives, and describe any distress caused by use of restraints within the overall experience of being in the intensive care unit. METHODS: Transcripts of semistructured, audiotaped interviews of patients who had been in the medical or surgical intensive care unit in any of 3 eastern and midwestern medical centers were analyzed by question and for overall themes. RESULTS: Six patients (40%) remembered some aspect of being restrained but did not report great distress. Patients accepted restraints as needed because of the lack of alternatives. Patients reported remembering that they should not perform certain behaviors but being unable to stop themselves. Patients cited hallucinations and intubation as major stressors in the intensive care unit. Patients' continuing health problems after discharge from the intensive care unit severely limited recruitment of subjects. CONCLUSIONS: Patients do not remember great distress specifically related to the use of restraints, but the overall situation leading to use of restraints is disturbing if remembered. The discovery of methods to reduce the distress of intubation and hallucinations could decrease use of restraints.

Abstract:
Adverse cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death, occur more frequently in the morning. Prior studies have shown that vascular endothelial function (VEF), a marker of cardiovascular disease, is attenuated during physical inactivity and declines across the night. We sought to determine whether a morning attenuation in VEF is a result of prior sleep or the inactivity that inevitably accompanies sleep. After 1 wk of a rigorously controlled sleep-wake schedule and behaviors, 10 healthy participants completed a randomized crossover protocol in dim light and constant conditions, incorporating a night of 6 h of sleep opportunity and a night of immobility while they were supine and awake. VEF was measured in the dominant brachial artery as flow mediated dilation (FMD) before and after each 6-h trial. To avoid disturbing sleep and posture of the participants, blood was drawn using a 12-ft catheter from an adjoining laboratory room before, during, and after each 6-h trial, and plasma was analyzed for markers of oxidative stress [malondialdehyde adducts (MDA)], and endothelin-1. Contrary to expectation, both nocturnal sleep and nocturnal inactivity significantly increased FMD ( P < 0.05). There was no significant change in MDA or endothelin-1 within and between trials. Contrary to expectations based on prior studies, we found that overnight sleep or the inactivity that accompanies sleep did not result in attenuation in VEF in the morning hours in healthy people. Thus, it is plausible that the endogenous circadian system, a remaining factor not studied here, is responsible for the commonly observed decline in VEF across the night.
