Abstract:
Introduction:Emergent old in a society that has been obsessed with youth may have a critical impact on the mental health of many people. Older people may face worsening health or dwindling finances or simply the challenges of retaining their independence. Unfortunately, the body’s natural defenses against stress gradually break down with age. Psychological stress has frequently been associated with a broad spectrum of negative health outcomes Although life after the retirement age is generally considered to be a peaceful period of life, many psychological challenges, such as loneliness, bereavement, caring for a family member and deterioration of own health, may occur, all of which can lead to increased levels of stress. Due to prolonged life expectancy, more and more adults are reaching very old age, increasing the possibility to face health-related stressors consequently leading to higher levels of perceived stress. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of pranayama in reduction of stress among old age people. Methodology: The researcher used.pre experimental research design with evaluative approach used, setting of the study was Apna Old Age Home, Bhopal and sample size comprises of 30 old age people residing in old age homes. Result: The present finding of the study indicate that in pretest majority 20 (66.67%) of old age people had high perceived stress, 7(23.33%) had moderate stress, and 3 (10.%) had low stress. In Post-test: Majority 25 (83.33%) of old age people had moderate stress and 2 (16.66%) had low stress and none of having high level of stress perceived after doing pranayama. Conclusion: pranayama is a very cheap and cost effective in reduction of various psychological problems without having any side effect.

Abstract:
The nature and frequency of sexual activity among the elderly are unknown. The elderly often view sexuality as an expression of passion, affection, admiration and loyalty; a renewall of romance. Sexual activity is a means for the elderly to affirm physical functioning, to maintain a strong sense of identity and to establish self-confidence.However, not all elderly persons have positive attitudes towards sexuality. Even healthy elderly persons may internalize the stereotypes towards aging. The elderly will be viewed as:•Asexual invalids;•Dirty old men;•Lecherous old women.Negative attitude about masturbation and homosexuality can interfere with sexual expression. Many elderly homosexual persons have not publicly revealed their sexual preference. They may experience additional stress due to a perceived need to hide their sexual orientation.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to evaluate perceived stressors, coping strategies, and coping effectiveness in older adults. The theoretical framework was Lazarus and Folkman's (1984) theory of stress.Data was collected from 55 independent living adults. Findings showed that primary perceived stressors focused on health, family, and independence. The most frequently used and effective style of coping was optimistic. The least frequently used and least effective style was emotive. The most commonly used and most effective strategy was prayer. Few demographic differences in coping were noted.A major conclusion was that, while individual coping strategies were highly effective, overall older adults coped only somewhat effectively with stressors.The significance of the study was that effective coping strategies and styles as identified can guide nursing interventions for stress management among older adults. Replication of the study is needed with a large sample from a variety of populations.

Abstract:
This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between Sense of Coherence (SOC) and subjective report of health in elders. A systematic sample of 400 retirees from Ball State University faculty and staff was used in this study. The participants completed the information sheet and two questionnaires: Orientation to Life and Perceived Health. All data from the 198 responses were entered into the database for statistical analysis, although 169 (85%) had complete sets of data. Pearson r correlation coefficient was used to examine the relationship between SOC and subjective reports of health. The result revealed a statistically significant relationship between the two variables. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and univariate analysis of variance were used to examine the relationship between SOC and subjective reports of health and other variables such as sex, education level, retirement status, and social support. Results indicate a significant relationship between sex, education level, SOC and subjective report of health. Retirement status and social support did not prove significant. A post hoc analysis of variance revealed a statistically significant relationship between SOC and education. This study has implications for worksite health promotion programs which address more than the physical dimension of wellness. Further march is recommended.

Abstract:
Research into the health needs of Asian elders has been scarce, that which does exist has lacked a theoretical framework. A first attempt is made in the present research study to relate the literature on race and ethnicity to theory and practice in gerontology. A stress and coping model from the gerontological literature was adapted to account for outcomes of physical/psychological health and well-being amongst south Asian elders. In order to test the applicability of this model the first aim of the study was to gain an insight into the circumstances and situations of Asian elders on a range of demographic, support, health and well-being factors. And then-secondly, to see how these factors may interrelate according to the stress and coping model. A range of specific hypotheses were formulated on the basis of this model. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews conducted with a community sample of 70 South Asian elders who were 55 years and over. The interview schedule consisted of both standardised measures of health, stress and coping as well as structured questions on the use of formal/informal support, satisfaction with life and attitudes towards old age. Data were analysed in two phases. The results from the first phase which were largely descriptive, suggest that a significant number of Asian elders were living either alone or with their spouse. In general Asian elders were living in circumstances of material disadvantage, suffering from poor health and chronic illnesses, reporting high levels of psychological distress with little formal and informal support. Awareness and receipt of specialist support services for older adults was low. The results from the second phase involving analyses of correlations and regressions, indicate significant correlations between outcome measures of health/mental health and satisfaction with life with measures of coping, appraisals and to some extent resource variables. There were also significant correlations between positive/negative outcomes of health and well-being with positive/negative ways of coping, appraisal and some resource variables. The factor associated most strongly with outcome variables was social support (resource) rather than coping. Overall, the stress and coping model appears to account well for most of the research findings. The results were discussed in relation to previous research literature and implications for future research and clinical practice were discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
Phenomenological inquiry was used to investigate stressors encountered by older adults during recovery from alcoholism. Thirteen men and thirteen women, ranging in age from 55 to 82 and in length of sobriety from 2 months to 41 years, generated 37 sources of stress which threatened stable recovery. Stressors were categorized as psychological, physiological, or environmental in origin.Results indicated that the number and multicomplexity of stressors intensified stress levels. Although some stressors were antecedent to sobriety, a significant proportion were unique in recovery and/or related to the maintenance of sobriety itself.Women's rates of response nearly doubled those of men. Women evidenced greater deficiencies in basic survival needs and family support for recovery, greater duration of stressors into the recovery period, and greater focalization on internal negative emotional states, particularly anxiety, guilt and anger. Males evidenced proportionally higher percentages of external sources of stress.Both genders showed higher percentages of environmental stressors than expected. Although the percentage of physiological stressors was lower than expected, there was notable incidence of iatrogenic cross-addiction to psychoactive medication during recovery.Treatment methods were an early sobrietal source of stress for both genders. Inpatient treatment experiences were negatively influenced by confrontive therapy approaches, mixed-age therapy groups, lack of assistance with problems other than alcoholism, and inattention to medical complications.This dissertation includes an extensive review of literature concerning alcoholism in older adults, and recommendations for research and practice.

Full text
Abstract:
Utilizing a sample of community-residing older adults, this pretest-posttest design evaluated the short term (approximately 1 week) impact on everyday functioning of Stress Inoculation (SI) training, a cognitive-behavioral intervention that is essentially a coping skills enhancement program. The targets of training were anxiety and concern about being able to successfully perform everyday living tasks. The training program was contrasted with a no contact (waiting list) control. In an effort to maximize the practical aspects of this study, the assessment battery included the use of two ecologically valid measures of everyday problem solving skills (one self-rated and one interviewer-rated). Also included were a measure of everyday intelligence widely used in gerontological research, two measures of self-efficacy, a geriatric depression scale, a state-trait anxiety scale, and a self-report measure of failures in perception, memory, and motor function. The results suggest that Stress Inoculation training is an effective intervention for improving everyday competence but that personal perceptions of self-efficacy and the emotional states of anxiety and depression mediate treatment effects. In general, only persons with lower levels of self-efficacy and higher levels of anxiety and/or depression saw improvement in their cognitive performance following SI training.

Abstract:
This paper considers the first stage of Nova Huta New Town built near Krakow in the 1950s. In contrast to UK and US new settlements of the post war period it is a high density apartment block development which was ignored in the literature for more than half a century because its design, based on a system of streets, is in contrast with contemporary forms of development, either low density garden city or higher density free standing apartment blocks. A discussion of its neglect and the recent rediscovery of its qualities, both in Poland and by exponents of the US New Urbanism (part of the Urban Morphology spectrum somewhat neglected by ISUF) leads to a systematic investigation of the development, its influences and how this project conceived in a radically different political and economic context, matches or departs from the tenets of the Charter for the New Urbanism. The extent to which the context has determined the differences leads to a conclusion discussing the enduring qualities and contemporary relevance of inherited urban forms.

Abstract: We examined 109 men working at а mining enterprise exposed to occupational and psychosocial factors. The patients were divided into two groups: the main group - 60 men working in underground conditions, the conditions are assigned to classes 3.3 - 3.4; comparison group - 49 men performing ground work, whose conditions are classified as 3.2. In connection with the established diagnosis of "Syndrome of arterial hypertension" in middle-aged people of the main group, it was divided into two subgroups in terms of age - people under 45 years old (n = 20, age 38.45 ± 2.95 years), and people older 45 years old (n = 40, age 50.90 ± 1.46 years.). Purpose: to study the prerequisites for the development of hypertension based on the psychovegetative status and some changes in the biochemical and functional indicators of the CVS, depending on the age-related changes in these indicators. Materials and methods: the patient underwent a study of the psycho-vegetative state with an assessment of the level of neuropsychic stress, personal and situational anxiety, attention function, subjective reflection of psycho-vegetative distress. The state of the cardiovascular system was investigated according to the results of functional and clinical laboratory diagnostics. Results: A decrease in attention, an increase in personal anxiety and an increase in the number of psychovegetative complaints were significantly more often detected in the group of patients with hypertension (OR 7.50; 95% CI 2.39-23.58; OR 11.06 95% - CI - 4.35 - 28.10; CI 22.50; 95% CI - 7.09 - 71.41). Adaptive psychovegetative phenotypes were distinguished in two subgroups. In patients over 45 years old, a negative relationship was established between age, experience and some parameters of psycho-vegetative status, as well as a direct relationship between these parameters and some indicators of homeostasis in the diagnosis of hypertension syndrome in 95% of patients in this subgroup. Conclusions: with an increase in age and experience, there is a transformation of the adaptive psychovegetative phenotype with an inversion of connections with psychovegetative parameters against the background of increased functional disorders of the cardiovascular system. Diagnostics of the transformation of this phenotype makes it possible to assess the risk of developing arterial hypertension and contributes to the prevention of hypertension by forming risk groups.

Conference topics and scale : Urban morphological methods and techniques. Abstract This paper examines the impact of change, particularly Modernism, on a traditional Islamic urban core: the historic centre of Tripoli. It begins by discussing the historical background of Tripoli, identifying the key periods of urban change and growth through the evidence of historic documentation, maps, photographs and sketches. It focuses on the impact of Modernism, introduced during the Italian colonial period, identifying the nature, scale and speed of change – to the physical environment (streets, plots, buildings, land uses) and social environment (uses and occupiers). This allows the identification of key problems facing the present-day historic city. The paper then identifies examples of upgrading and urban regeneration projects for urban corridors, street networks and public spaces, drawing on local, national and international comparisons, for evaluating quality, and impact on urban form and design. Finally, it discusses the implications for future urban form. References : Development, A.D (2010), Project of rehabilitation of the old city of Tripoli, Code of the old Tripoli city.

Abstract:
The study of the effects and mechanisms of action of therapeutic doses of proton radiation on the body is an important task of biomedicine and radiobiology. One of the mechanisms of action of ionizing radiation is oxidative stress. The MTT test method has found practical application. In our study, the MTT test method was used to analyze oxidative stress after proton irradiation at a dose of 10 Gy, and also revealed a critical period of ontogenesis on the example of Daphnia magna. There is a significant decrease in metabolic activity compared to the control in cells of D. magna irradiated during the juvenile and pubertal periods of ontogenesis, especially at 1- and 2-day-old age. The survival rate of all experimental groups of D. magna does not decrease in comparison with the control, regardless of the duration of irradiation.

Abstract. Introduction. University professors’ occupational activity is affected by a large number of stress factors prolonged exposure to which can contribute to the development of burnout syndrome, which is absolutely necessary to prevent. Purpose: assessment of occupational burnout syndrome as an indicator of professional maladjustment of a university professor The objects and research methods. Female professors (68 people) of 3 age categories (up to 30 years old, from 30 to 49 years old, 50 years old and older). Questionnaire, psychophysiological, statistical methods. Results. The analysis of the OBS phases formed in the university professors has shown that the Tension phase has the minimal severity (11.4 ± 0.04%). The Resistance phase is more pronounced (22.9 ± 0.05%). The Depletion phase is second in severity (11.4 ± 0.04%). A post-symptom analysis of the OBS phases formed has shown a predominance in the Resistance phase characterized, firstly, by the "curtailment" of professional activity, due to the reduction of duties requiring emotional costs (P4. Reduction of professional duties); secondly, the uncontrollable influence of mood on professional relations (P1. Inadequate emotional response); thirdly, when a professor feels that both working conditions and professional interpersonal relationships are traumatic (H1. Traumatic experiences). Regarding the age aspect, the burnout effect is not unambiguous. Thus, the formed Resistance phase predominates in the third group (50 years and older); the Resistance phase at the stage of formation (forming) is prevalent in the first age group (up to 30 years old). Conclusion. University professors’ occupational activity causes the development of OBS and can be considered a work-related disease which entails disability i.e., inability of an employee to perform their professional duties in a qualified manner.

"Flow Patterns and Wall Shear Stress Distribution in Human Vertebrobasilar System: A Computational Study to Investigate Smoking Effects on Atherosclerotic Stenosis at Different Ages."

Abstract:
The blockage of arteries in the human vertebrobasilar system (VBS) usually results in major disability or death. It has been widely seen that atherosclerotic stenosis occurs at locations with a low wall shear stress or a high oscillatory shear index. This study investigates the potential of developing arteriostenosis due to smoking in the human VBS at 3 different ages. For this purpose, the VBS has been modeled for smoking/nonsmoking subjects that are 20, 50, and 70 years of age. The governing equations were discretized and solved by a finite volume-based software (ANSYS Fluent v15.0). Five potential locations for stenosis were determined along the VBS. The quantified risks of stenosis were found for smoking and nonsmoking groups, indicating that the locations prone to stenosis are at a higher risk in smoking subjects. The stenosis probability increases around vertebrobasilar junction point (VBJ) and along the right vertebral artery in the 50 and 70-year-old smoker subjects, respectively. Also, the results suggested that the area around the VBJ is at higher risk levels for stenosis at different ages for both smoking and nonsmoking subjects.

Abstract:
Nablus old center stands as a typical Arab city with a relevant geographical location. Successive historical periods distinguish its history - from Canaanite to Roman, Byzantine, Islamic, Crusader or Ottoman - till nowadays. This cultural diversity has layered chronological strata on its urban fabric. Therefore, diverse historical characteristics reflected in the city’s urban morphology have undergone continued physical and functional transformations, not only gradually by time and various socio-cultural, economic or political factors, but also radically by earthquakes and war destructions. Present-day Nablus’ physical image echoes a palimpsest of urban/social identities and an asset for a very sensitive collective memory. This paper examines the formation, evolution and constitution of the old city of Nablus by a retrospective analysis that searches the morphological momentum for each phase in articulation with a reflection around its historical meaning for the city. Methodologically, this study is conducted on both urban and architectural levels, surveying street hierarchy and plot distribution. This understanding will be extremely important for an accurate perception of this tissue in order to advocate for a concerned idea of the city’s reconstruction, following recent urban annihilations. At a time when urban rehabilitation pushes plans for quick and immediate results, reading Nablus’ urban morphology can work as the lacking tool for an instructed and operative regeneration.

Abstract:
There is growing interest in using cannabis or specific cannabinoids (e.g., THC, CBD) as therapeutic agents for various stress-related psychiatric disorders (e.g., PTSD, anxiety). While beliefs about a drug, such as expecting to feel a certain way, have strong influences over the actual effects experienced by individuals, they are rarely evaluated in clinical research. In the present exploratory report, we sought to (1) evaluate the extent to which individuals believe that cannabis relieves stress, and (2) examine whether individual characteristics (i.e., age, sex, psychiatric illness, cannabis use frequency) are related to these beliefs. A sample of 234 adults (54.7% female; Mean age=31.37, SD=11.03, 19-69 years old) from the Halifax Regional Municipality community took part in a brief telephone screening interview to assess their eligibility for a larger study (in progress). Information was gathered about the frequency of current (i.e., past month) cannabis use (days per week), the presence of current psychiatric disorder(s) ("yes"/"no"), and the extent to which they believed that cannabis was an effective stress reliever (rating scale from 1 (“not at all”) to 10 (“extremely”)). Subjects reported a mean belief rating of 6.39 (SD=2.26). A multiple regression analysis was run to evaluate whether the belief that cannabis relieves stress was related to age, sex, psychiatric illness, and frequency of current cannabis use. Overall, the model significantly predicted cannabis belief ratings (p<.001, adjusted R2=.17). Among all variables, only frequency of cannabis use contributed significantly to this prediction (B=.544, 95% CI: [.387, .701], p<.001). In general, the present sample of community-recruited adults believed that cannabis was somewhat effective at relieving stress. Additionally, cannabis use frequency was the only variable that predicted the strength of this belief, such that more frequent use was associated with higher belief ratings. This is consistent with prior research indicating that heavier cannabis use is linked to positive cannabis expectancies. Given that stimulus expectancies influence substance-related responses, such findings would further the case for evaluating and controlling for these expectancies in clinical work with cannabis for stress-related conditions. Indeed, clinical cannabis research evaluating samples of heavy or frequent cannabis users may be subject to bias due to higher positive expectancies.

Abstract:
<p>The Floraliahall in Ghent was built during 1912-1913 as part of a series of large infrastructure works for the world exposition of 1913. The main structure of the hall consists of 18 portal frames having 3 spans of 10.16, 40.18 and 10.16 m. The upper part of the structure is highly slender. Adversely to the customary concepts of 100 years ago, the lighter frames at 7.45 m distance, are hinged twice at the springs, whereas the more heavy frames, at 15 m distance, are completely clamped at their base. In addition, measurements show that crosssections of compressed parts have larger area than the tensile parts. From the structural point of view, these frames sometimes have an unexpected composition. The aim was to determine whether this structure can comply with contemporary requirements and codes. From measurements and simulations follows that in limited areas high stresses appear, unacceptable even in serviceability state. This may be partly due to modifications of the roof that were made inappropriately, from the uncertainty to assess certain details with the model and from ineffective analysis at the time of construction.</p>

Abstract:
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a genetic connective tissue disorder with a high prevalence of aortic aneurysm formation (a pathological dilatation of the aorta), typically at the aortic root. The disorder is caused by mutations in the gene encoding fibrillin-1 [1]. Recently, it has been shown in mouse models that selected manifestations of MFS, such as aortic aneurysm formation, can be explained by excessive signaling by the transforming growth factor–beta (TGF-beta) family of cytokines [2]. Although the footprint of the disease is clearly genetic, there is still a role for (computational) biomechanics and hemodynamics to elucidate why aneurysms develop preferentially at the level of the aortic root, since the genetic defect affects the entire (arterial) system. One of the most obvious parameters to study is the arterial wall shear stress (WSS). WSS plays an important role in the regulation of the vascular system and is considered a significant factor in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease in humans. Low and/or oscillating values of WSS have been associated with the formation of atherosclerotic lesions [3] and with the growth of aneurysms [4]. It is, however, hard to show a link between low WSS and aneurysm initiation, since in most cases the geometrical and physiological data are lacking during the first and most important stages of the aneurysm development. Furthermore follow-up studies in human patients are difficult, since aneurysms grow very slowly (only 0.9 mm/year in MFS patients treated with beta-blockers) and it will take several years before significant changes will have taken place. Therefore, in this study, we have computed the aortic flow field and WSS patterns for 5 different MFS patients with ages varying from 14 to 54 years old, in order to get an idea about the effect of age on the development of the disease.

Abstract:
The royal name borne by the third and fifth king of the VI dynasty is either read (a) Ppy (Ppjj) or (b) Pjpj. Even though the earlier option appears to represent better the actual hieroglyphic writing, the latter fits it no less, and there are parallels for either reading among hypocoristic names of the Old Kingdom with Ppy (Ppjj) belonging to a more common type than Pjpj. However, based on an analysis of hypocoristic names and the king list tradition down to Manetho, this royal name can be identified as a special kind of reduplicated hypocoristic name with a distinct stress pattern, which is characteristic for the Old Kingdom: Pjpj ~ *Păyắpăyă.
