This paper revolves around the idea of the infra-thin, a concept coined by Duchamp, which describes paradoxes and/or phenomena that are not easily defined with words but instead sensed. The infra-thin is illustrated throughout the paper by discussions revolving around scars, bruises, birthmarks, dust, fog, lint, and other similar "things" that are, in some definition of the term, objects.

Abstract:
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common disorder involving repeated cessations of breathing due to airway collapse, causing disruption of sleep cycles. The condition is under-diagnosed and the side effects are many and varied. Currently, the ‘gold standard’ diagnostic tool for OSA is a polysomnogram (PSG) which is carried out overnight in a hospital using multiple sensors. A PSG is expensive to set-up, run and analyse, and some subjects experience different sleep patterns due to the artificial conditions of the sleep laboratory.

Sleepiness and sleep disruption caused by cohabitees could have deleterious cognitive consequences in everyday life. Research in this area is scarce, thus cognitive correlates of varying degrees of sub-optimal sleep patterns in five groups of healthy adults in domestic settings were studied. The groups studied included adults living with healthy partners, adults living with partners with a chronic, sleep-disrupting illness (Parkinson's disease), and mothers of young children.

Direct current (DC) potential is an objective measure of the functional state of the human organism. It is a sensitive and accurate indicator of short- and long-term adaptations to stress, adaptive capacities, and it is an important marker of athlete readiness. Sleep is posited to be the most efficacious strategy for improving recovery to enhance sport performance, and adequate sleep is considered vital to normal psycho-physiological function. Thus, optimal sleep may enhance the functional state, in turn enhancing an athlete’s adaptability to training stress. However, little is known about the

This paper presents a theory of insurgency-state strategic interaction based on the insurgency’s mode of survival. The theory postulates that, ceteris paribus, illegal resources discourage the insurgents from desiring to control the state and the state from regaining control of the insurgent territory, whereas legal lootable resources “force” the insurgency to embrace the suboptimal strategy of trying to topple the government, while causing the state to desire full control of the insurgent territory.

Abstract:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related disorder that pauses or decreases air flow during sleep as a result of an obstructed upper airway. About 25 million people in the United States are affected by OSA. OSA has low identification and referral rates, especially in primary care facilities as indicated by the lack of patients' sleep histories. Screening tools such as questionnaires ensure an effective detection of OSA. The practice-focused question examined whether implementing the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) in an outpatient primary care setting would increase the number of referra

Abstract:
Lack of restorative sleep is implicated in threats to public health and safety as well as negative individual health outcomes, which are more pronounced among those living in rural poverty. This study addressed the need for an approach to these problems that is sensitive to culture and community. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the lived experience of sleep among young adults living in rural poverty to inform development of strategies to improve sleep behavior in this population. Research questions explored the lived experience of sleep, constructs of the theory of pl

Stress and sleep problems are common in the working population and cause considerable costs for society. Sleep is the most important part of recovery, and poor sleep has a negative impact on overall functioning, which might have important consequences for both the employee, the employer and society. In order to find strategies to alleviate this contemporary public health concern of stress and poor sleep in the working population, this thesis evaluated interventions performed at the workplace to target these issues. The first intervention is a randomized controlled trial of a 25% work time redu

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to translate the Verran and Snyder-Halpern (VSH) Sleep Scale into Spanish and assess equivalence of translation. Criteria for establishing cross-cultural equivalence and concepts in translation served to guide the research and provide impetus in developing a flow chart for equivalence of meaning in asymmetrical translation. Nineteen Mexican national or Mexican-American bilingual subjects were recruited from the community. The translation protocol contained two phases. Phase One consisted of four steps, specifically: (1) content equivalence analysis, (2) back trans
