"November 2003" Bibliography: leaves 168-170 This thesis comprises three reports on research into post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The research seeks to explore issues surrounding PTSD including treatment options, the nurses' role in providing this treatment and the perceptions of those who have undergone treatment for PTSD. Whilst one of the reports specifically looks at combat-related PTSD, the other two are more broadly based. It was noted, however, that within Australia, most PTSD treated in accredited programmes is combat related.

Bibliography: leaves 136-145.This study examined the relationship between stress and coping in a sample of women simultaneously occupying the roles of wife, mother and paid employee. The sample comprised 95 subjects recruited through medical practices. Quantitative and qualitative data was collected by means of self report questionnaires. Quantitative measures included the recent version of the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (Levenstein, Prantera, Varvo, Scribano, Berta, Luzi & Andreoli, 1992), the Reward and Concern Scales developed by Baruch & Barnett ( 1986) as a measure of role quality, the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (Carver, Scheier & Weintraub, 1989) and the Mastery Scale (Pearlin & Schooler, 1978). A measure of social support was developed for this study. Qualitative data was collected via 7 open ended questions. Responses were analysed for frequency of reference to emergent themes. · Stress ·constituted the dependant variable and role quality, coping, control and social - support the ~ndependent variables. Correlational and Anova analyses were performed to test for relationships between stress and the demographic variables. No significant relationships were found. Subjects who had complained of stress or been diagnosed as stressed by their doctors were classified as highly stressed, whereas those who had neither complained nor been so diagnosed were classified as low stressed. A t-test analysis revealed significant differences between the two groups. However, 42% of those women who had neither complained nor been diagnosed as stressed recorded stress levels above the mean. The most usual manifestations of stress revealed a cluster of factors related to time pressure and overload. Further t-test analyses were conducted to test for differences in stress levels between subjects scoring low in role quality, coping abilities, control and social support, compared with those scoring high on these variables. Poor role quality was .associated with a significantly higher stress level.

Bibliography: leaves 89-101.The lifestyle and personality changes of 61 participants after a five day stress management programme were assessed. A pre-and post-programme lifestyle questionnaire was developed to investigate changes in areas covered on the programme: nutrition, fitness, health beliefs and behaviour, relationships, work life and coping resources. Participants were requested to complete this questionnaire before the course, and a follow-up questionnaire three weeks and six months after the course. Personality variables measured were Locus of Control, Sense of Coherence, and Type A behaviour. These variables were assessed prior to the course and at the six month follow-up. The effect of these personality variables on lifestyle and lifestyle change was examined. Three weeks after the course, significant changes in the self-reported lifestyle measures of nutrition, health beliefs and behaviour, and fitness were found. From the pretest to the six-month follow-up, significant changes in nutrition, health beliefs and behaviour, and relationships were found. The majority of delegates reported positive attitudes towards goals set on the course after three weeks and six months. No change was demonstrated in personality variables from the pre-test to six months after the course. No relationship was found between personality variables and lifestyle or lifestyle change. Implications for future evaluations, and for stress management programmes in general are highlighted.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 94-102).Previous research has shown that stress affects processing in many different memory systems. This study aimed to investigate the effects of acute psychosocial stress on declarative memory (DM) and working memory (WM) performance, and to explore whether sex differences exist under stress in these two memory systems. DM was assessed using cued recall and recognition of a verbal paired-associates list. WM was assessed using an n-back test with various difficulty levels. One hundred (42 males) undergraduate psychology students from the University of Cape Town were recruited. Phase of menstrual cycle and oral contraceptive use were controlled for in female participants. Participants took part in two sessions, 24 hours apart, each beginning after 16h00. Day 1 involved learning and immediate cued recall of the word pairs, and completing a practice n-back protocol. During Day 2, 45 participants were exposed to a psychosocial stressor and 41 were exposed to a relaxation period. Physiological and self-report measures of stress were taken at three intervals pre- and post-experimental manipulation. Participants then completed delayed cued recall and recognition tests for the previously-learned word pairs, and the full version of the n-back test. Data were analysed only for participants characterised as 'cortisol responders' following the experimental manipulation. The final sample included 57 participants (30 males). With regard to DM, stress did not affect either delayed cued recall or recognition performance in either men or women. With regard to WM, stress negatively affected accuracy among men, but not women. These results are largely consistent with previous literature, but also elucidate a sex difference in working memory performance under stress (viz., while men's performance is negatively affected by stress, women show improved performance). The study provides important evidence for sex differences in WM performance under stress, and highlights several methodological issues that should be addressed in future studies.

Full textAbstract:
Stress kan påverka den fysiska och psykiska hälsan när en obalans mellan de krav som ställs och förmågan att hantera dessa sker. Arbetsrelaterad stress är en konsekvens av hög arbetsbelastning i förhållande till individens förmåga. Tandhygienister behandlar många patienter per dag och det ställs höga krav på ekonomiska intäkter. Samtidigt ska hög kvalitativ vård ges till patienter. Därför var syftet med denna litteraturstudie att undersöka om tandhygienister upplevde stress i sitt arbete och hur stress påverkade deras fysiska och psykiska hälsa. Utifrån sex sökningar i databasen PubMed hittades åtta vetenskapliga artiklar, som ligger till grund för denna litteraturstudie. Metoderna som användes i de inkluderade studierna var: enkätstudier, intervjustudier och fysisk undersökning. Samtliga artiklar visade att stress påverkade den fysiska och psykiska hälsan negativt. Stress påverkade den fysiska hälsan genom bland annat muskuloskelettala besvär i nacke, axlar, rygg och handleder. Faktorer som påverkade den fysiska hälsan var, operationsstolar, arbetslivserfarenhet samt antalet patienter som behandlades per dag. Den psykiska hälsan påverkades genom bristande kontroll över tidbok, social isolering, och dålig återkoppling från chefer. Arbetsrelaterad stress och muskuloskelettala besvär var två anledningar till varför tandhygienister sjukanmälde sig. Slutsatsen med studien är att arbetsrelaterad stress har en negativ påverkan på tandhygienisternas fysiska och psykiska hälsa. Stress leder till muskuloskelettala besvär i bland annat nacke, axlar, rygg och handleder, samt otrivsel på arbetet och sjukanmälningar.

Full textAbstract:
Occupational stress is an increasingly significant economic and social burden in Australia, yet workers’ compensation systems do not adequately address the impact of occupational stress, leaving employers and individuals to find new ways of responding to this challenge. Management of workplace stress injury is therefore an ongoing concern to employers, requiring the integration at the workplace of more effective occupational rehabilitation systems to prevent and mitigate this condition. Research indicates that organisations, which are successful in developing wellintegrated occupational rehabilitation systems that incorporate work-based interventions, benefit measurably from this investment in human resources. However, there is limited research demonstrating how specific organisations can develop effective occupational rehabilitation strategies, especially in Australia and especially in response to workplace stress. In response to this situation the aim of this research was to develop and implement a process for identifying an effective occupational rehabilitation system conducive to the large organisational environment of the Queensland Police Service (QPS). The study utilised an Action Research design, incorporating a systems thinking framework to address the research aims. Data was collected in three phases, using interviews, focus groups and a survey, to gain an understanding of the organisational context of the QPS, issues pertaining to stress and injury, potential solutions to the identified issues from the perspectives of organisational stakeholders, and existing injury and illness prevention and rehabilitation processes.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
The capability to measure the magnitude of water stress in plants is useful for precision irrigation scheduling and other purposes. This paper reports an evaluation of leaf (TL) and canopy (Tc) temperatures, leaf minus air (TL -Ta) and canopy minus air (Tc -Ta) temperatures, and leaf water stress index (LWSI) and crop water stress index (CWSI) in detecting stress in pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke) over two growing seasons. Baselines which were used to compute LWSI and CWSI were obtained. The upper and lower baselines for the Tc data, respectively, were Tc -Ta = 4.10 C and Tc -Ta = 3.87- .2001VPD where VPD is vapor pressure deficit in mbars. For the TL data, the upper and lower baselines, respectively, were TL -Ta = 1.97oC and TL -Ta = 1.308- .03006VPD. Tests against photosynthesis, transpiration, and grain yield showed that LWSI and CWSI are better indices of stress than TL -Ta, Tc -Ta, TL, Tc, or Ta. Average seasonal LWSI and CWSI ranged from approximately 0.03 for non- stressed to 0.80 for stressed plants. The reliability of LWSI and CWSI to detect stress and their relation with grain yield suggested the possibility of using these indices for irrigation scheduling decisions.

Full textAbstract:
This study develops and used a CHESS (chief Executive Stress Survival) model developed from the occupational stress literature to predict variations in the psychological and physical stress experience and health risk of chief Executives of New Zealand organisations. The model proposes that stress is a sequential process with identifiable phases and that variation are mainly due to the frequency of environmental experiences and stressor factors which are both “chronic” and “episodic”, “at work” and “outside work”. The model also assumes, however, that the impact of the environmental variables and stressor factors are moderated by individual personality differences, coping mechanisms and stress management practices. The model was tested on a sample of 107 male chief Executive officers and General Managers. It was found that the majority of the sample (80%) were relatively stress resistant and healthy. Stepwise multiple regression was used to test the model, and some evidence derived suggests that the frequency of environmental problems does predict various stress symptoms and that environmental stressors ultimately predict health risk profiles. Individual differences are shown as being largely independent variables predicting stress, rather that being moderating variables as suggested by the model. Coping and stress management variables are also shown to play a significant moderating role in the stress - outcome relationship. Some evidence derived suggests that there may be individual manager profiles, provisionally labelled “stress immune” vs “vulnerable” and “ill - health preventers” vs “non-preventers”. Due to the depth of the cross-sectional data obtained on this rarely studied management level, some comparison with published information on other researched groups are explored. A number of limitations of the study are noted. The practical implications for this senior management group of the findings of this study are also examined.Whole document restricted, but available by request, use the feedback form to request access.

Upton, Jamie. "Role of oxidative stress in the balding dermal papilla." Thesis, Queen Mary, University of London, 2012. http://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/8478.
Full textAbstract:
The dermal papillae of the hair follicle control its growth, differentiation and apoptosis via a range of growth factors. These secreted growth factors are known to differ between those of non-balding scalp and those of balding scalp and can even differ in response to a common stimuli – androgen. In balding scalp androgen stimulates the secretion of negative growth factors, while in non-balding scalp androgen is found to exert little or no effect. Dermal papilla cells (DPCs) can be cultured in vitro, however those from balding scalp have been found to undergo premature senescence compared to those from non-balding scalp. A major cause of premature senescence is oxidative stress – the gradual accumulation of reactive oxygen species within the cell causing deleterious loss of function. Reactive oxygen species are known to be mediated in response to androgens and growth factors and in turn may affect growth factor signalling within the cell. Using low oxygen cell culture as a means of reducing oxidative stress, balding and non-balding DPCs were grown and characterised. It was confirmed that low oxygen culture could increase proliferation, delay senescence and reduce reactive oxygen species with both DPC types and that balding DPCs showed a higher sensitivity to oxidative stress. It was also found that secretions of growth factors by the balding DPCs in response to different oxygen conditions differed greatly to that of the occipital DPCs. Androgen, but not TGF-β was found to modulate DPC production of catalase, an antioxidant, under low oxygen conditions and this caused a reduction in reactive oxygen species in the balding DPCs. Balding DPCs also demonstrated an upregulation of the antioxidant total glutathione, however had a reduced fraction of the active reduced form of the molecule. In addition, it was shown for the first time 3 that under cell culture conditions balding DPCs express TGF-β receptors and it was shown that proliferation and migration of the balding DPCs could be affected by addition of exogenous TGF-β, highlighting a potential role for TGF-β as an autocrine growth factor in the balding dermal papilla.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of our study is to examine whether stress among social workers is present, and if so, what strategies they and their supervisors use to manage work-related stress. The study is based on a qualitative method. The data consist of interviews, with six social workers and three supervisors. The study’s theoretical framework is based on KASAM, SOC-sense of coherence by Antonovsky, demand- control- support model by Karasek & Theorell, stress theory by Hans Selye and coping strategies by Lazarus. The result of our study indicates that stress is present among social workers. The common stress symptoms are gastritis, difficulty concentrating and sleeping problems. The main factors that cause work- related stress are found to be workload, work environment, involuntary break, and responsibility. The study shows that stress is not constant and it is manageable thanks to coping strategies that the social workers and their supervisors use. Coping strategies that contribute to the reduction of stress are a supportive chief, social support, reasonable requests, clear leadership and functioning family. Social support and support from their supervisors is the most frequently mentioned copying strategies. Our result indicates that creating a supportive work environment is very important for the well-being of social workers.

Previous findings showed that mild chronic restraint stress causes motor impairments in rats. These behavioural impairments might be related to molecular changes in brain areas that regulate motor functions, such as the cerebellum. Little is known about the role of the cerebellum in stress-induced behavioural alteration. We hypothesized that alteration in animal behaviour after chronic restraint stress is due to brain-specific changes in miRNA and proteins encoding gene expression. Our results revealed that expression of three miRNAs and 39 mRNAs was changed significantly after two weeks of stress. Furthermore, we verified one putative target for one of the changed miRNAs and expression of four randomly selected genes. Changes in gene expression disappeared after two weeks of recovery from stress. These findings provide a novel insight into stress-related mechanisms of gene expression underlying altered behavioural performance. The observations bear implications for the prevention and treatment of stress-related disorders and disease.xii, 109 leaves. : ill. ; 29 cm

Full textAbstract:
This thesis describes an action research study assessing the effectiveness of an organisational intervention for work-related stress incorporating participatory principles. The study, set in the call centre business of a UK utilities company, aimed to contribute evidence of the effectiveness of the USE Management Standards approach in managing work-related Stress. The study developed and utilised a two-stage action research framework that guided the research and intervention design and informed the choice o f the research methodology. This approach, comprising macro and micro intervention cycles, collected research data at three intervals over the 12-month timeline. The study deployed mixed methods using process evaluation principles with intervention (n=l 85) and control groups (n=205). The intervention comprised a stress risk assessment based on the Management Standards, delivered to the intervention group through management:training. The results showed that the intervention did not reduce employee work-related stress or improve their psychological wellbeing. The process evaluation indicated that the intervention failed to translate an initial change in attitudes, values and knowledge into meaningful changes in psychosocial working conditions. Exposure to non-work stressors was found to be three times .more influential on psychological wellbeing than work stressors, with social support from managers having a protective influence on both Work-related stress and psychological wellbeing. The study identified the challenges of implementing an organisational intervention for stress in r dynamic; change-affected working environment with high employee turnover, where the inherent nature of the work inhibits the formation of social support networks. Despite the perceived stressful nature of this setting, the study identified that non-work stressors had a predominant influence on psychological wellbeing. The identification of the importance of social support from managers aligns with findings from previous studies, with this study differentiating between personal support and work support, and the importance of a manager’s work knowledge, availability and visibility,

In this thesis, we propose a method measuring thin film stress on 8-inch substrate. The cantilever method is used as the basis for the improvement of the measuring system. We use dual electron beam gun evaporation with ion-beam assisted deposition to evaporate optical thin film on 8-inch substrate. Placing 8-inch substrate on the stage in vertical way and scanning the surface profile. We calculate the deflection of 8-inch substrate according to the displacement of reflection point, and then get the value of the thin film stress. We use Macleod simulation software and other measuring system to verify the results of the experiment. The measuring system has the advantage of instantaneity and easy-use.

Full textAbstract:
Apoptosis is a regulated "programme" by which cells are induced to die in a
manner which does not result in pathological inflammatory reactions, and involves dismantling of the cell into membrane-bound fragments that are removed by phagocytosis. This process is induced in order to remodel tissues and maintain homeostasis in cell numbers. Apoptosis may be induced via many pathways, many of which are redox-regulated, and is dysregulated in cancer cells, mainly due to mutational inactivation of certain pathways. Cancer cells also have a non-linear response to redox imbalance, a potentially exploitable characteristic for the therapeutic selective induction of apoptosis in cancer cells in mixed cell populations.
Model cell culture systems are required for the selective toxicity testing of
anti-cancer drugs, many of which work by inducing redox stress. In the current study, hydrogen peroxide was selected as the redox stress-inducing agent, and the test cells were an immortal, non-invasive breast epithelial cell line (MCFlOA) and its rastransfected, pre-malignant derivative (MCF10AneoT). A reliable, sensitive, cost effective and least time-consuming system for detection of apoptosis in such a system
was sort and two novel methods, cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activity assays, were finally selected and compared with results seen by conventional DNA laddering and morphological examination at the light and electron microscopic level. No single procedure was found to be reliable individually. For the model system used, a combination of electron microscopy and DNA laddering was sufficient for simply detecting apoptotic cell death and necrosis. The caspase activity assay distinguished
between apoptosis and necrosis, and cytochrome c release proved the most sensitive indicator of cell response. However, since cytochrome c release may be reversible and may not necessarily proceed to the downstream events of apoptosis in the time frame used in the current assays, it is not certain that cytochrome c release ultimately leads to apoptosis. However, three forms of cytochrome c were observed on western blots, the nature and significance of which remains to be determined. A comparison of the results of different methods allowed a model for the sequence of specific apoptotic events to be proposed.Thesis (M.Sc.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2000.

The 21 September 1999 Chi-chi earthquake had much influence on Taiwan; in addition, it resulted in obvious variation of the stress in surroundings, increasing the possibility of detonating the nearby faults, such as the Mei-shan Fault, the Chu-kou Fault, the the Chia-yi Blind Fault, and the Jiou-cyong-keng Fault, to move and to release energy. In order to evaluate the possibility that the Chia-yi Blind Fault release massive energy in the future, this research took advantage of the data about the earthquake in Taiwan which were collected by Jheng-shih-nan and Academia Sinica from Jan. 1906 to Apr. 2006, through the sift of related position and energy, to calculate the changes of the static stress which were resulted from the earthquakes near the Chia-yi Blind Fault. Hereby, we can realize t the influence upon the Coulomb Failure Stress Change towards the earthquake in the future.

Because of the educational need, the nursing teachers, selected or appointed, have been in demand in the middle schools or upper levels since the 1950s. Now this system will become a history by reason of the educational reform, because of the implement of “ post-middle school education mutual core lesson” at the present. Until the new system is fully established, the job stress of nursing teachers hasn’t been decreased but been increased. This study is to discuss the current situation of nursing teachers’ job stress. This paper focused on nursing teachers in Taiwan as its object, and employed a paper survey. The title of the survey is “The Magnitude of Nursing-Teachers’ Job Stress”. The content of the survey is divided into three major parts. The first part contains the personal information of the teacher; the second part contains my nursing teacher’s job stress survey; the third part is designed as open questions, which mainly focus on applicable strategies for the largest stress of the teachers and how to face it. Here are the results of the survey: 1.The job stress of the nursing teacher is average. 2. The nursing teachers show variations among each job stress dimension. 3. The job stress of the nursing teachers differs because of differences in background. 4. The job stress of the nursing teachers differs because of differences in environment. 5. The largest stress of the nursing teachers comes from: the military nursing system is deficient, job right is insecure; the retirement system is incomplete, there’s no job protection; and the way of using “problem solution” and “group support” when facing job stress.

M.Sc.The current study sought to investigate the relationship between stress and illness, while examining the effects of daily stressors, depression, hardiness, social support and coping skills on this relationship. The information gathered was then used to design a time and cost effective questionnaire to predict people prone to stress-related illness. This questionnaire has been called the Stress Fitness Scale. The subjects (n = 44) were split into three groups (healthy, ill, and neither ill nor healthy) according to their scores on Gurin's Psychosomatic Symptom List for non-parametric statistical analysis. Scores on the Hardiness Scale, Perceived Social Support Friends and Family, Beck Depression Inventory, COPE, Hassles and Uplifts Scale and Life Experiences were analysed and significant differences were found between the ill and healthy groups in all five areas using a Mann-Whitney U test. An intercorrelation matrix was performed and significant correlation was found between Stress Fitness and the other scales, although not for all the sub-scales. Many of these correlations corresponded with the differences found between the two groups using the Mann-Whitney U test. Item analysis was performed on the Stress Fitness Scale. Significant inter correlation was found for all the items of the Prone sub-scale, and all but three items of the Protect sub-scale. Although further research is necessary, from this limited study the Stress Fitness Scale appears to provide a time and cost effective way of predicting people prone to stress-related illness.

Action Research on Relieving Elementary Schoolteacher’s Working Stress Abstract This research aims at initiating and organizing a teachers’ co-development group, probing into teachers’ working stress and related problems through action research, and seeking effective strategies to relieve the stress. The researcher chooses the school she works for as the research site, all the first grade class teachers as the participants. Data are collected through participant observation, interviews, and document analysis. The following conclusions are drawn through this research: 1. The crucial elements of organizing a teachers’ co-development group are objective(s), participant(s), and the “group catalyst”. The group can make itself well operated by applying two major modes: theme-centered discussion and study group. 2. Major difficulties and challenges faced by a teachers’ co-development group are recruitment of group members, role play of the “group catalyst”, location for the meetings/activities, and individual participant schedule. 3. Participant’s working stress comes from various aspects, such as teaching work, administrative work, students, parents, interpersonal relationships, and professional careers. Even facing up to the same stress source, different schoolteachers suffer from different stress and also have different feelings. 4. Participant’s working stress indeed affects the co-development group she is in — the participating aspirations and the atmosphere of the group’s operation mainly. 5. Although a co-development group makes schoolteachers understand stress & related subjects, learn some stress-relieving strategies, clarify the stress sources, change their evaluation about working stress and relieve their reactions to working stress, and produces actual help in terms of relieving working stress, its effectiveness varies with different schoolteachers. 6. Although all of the four stress-relieving strategies（ doing exercise, proceeding time management, relaxing, and solving problems） can help the participant with relieving the working stress, its effectiveness varies with different strategies. Keywords: teachers’ co-development group, teachers’ working stress, stress-relieving strategy, action research

Crosslinking reaction of epoxy resins has been a foccus of researcch interestsfor many years. Most of the studies considered effects of composition, cure temp, cure time and so on. In this work, we studied the effect of shear fields. Shear flows caused by different shear rates have little effects when conversion is less than 0.4. Many significant differences were observed when cure reactionscontinue to high level. Different reaction rates caused by shear effects resultin different changes of viscosity, glass transition temperatures and molecular weights. Effects of shear fields are different for the rubber filled and neat resin systems For the neat resin systems, reaction rate is high at lower shear rate. For the rubber filled systems, faster reaction is observed with higher shear rates. Morphology changes caused by shear rates on the rubber filled systems are apparent. When fast reaction rate occurs at higher shear rates, viscosityrises whicch slows down the diffusion rates of rubber molecules, and phase separation is incomplete.

This practicum focuses on developing a deeper knowledge about stress and our external environments. It is directed towards the profession of Landscape Architecture, and healthcare facilities including professionals. It outlines critical information about stress: how stress affects people’s physical, emotional, mental health and well-being, and how landscape architects are able to mitigate different types of stress through the design and use of our exterior environments, offering respite and healing in times of great need. Stress reveals and manifests itself in numerous ways. It has become a major problem within our society, much bigger than people care to acknowledge or believe. Landscape Architects have the ability to help people reflect upon the stress that they are under by creating spaces that inevitably sooth their ‘selves’. Through the profession and subsequent work of Landscape Architects the awareness of stress can be addressed, helping bring respite and relieve tension and stress, whether large or small, which is extremely critical in today’s society. Through the use of gardens and exterior spaces designed with stress-relief in mind, we will be able to decrease hospital stays, drug use and the overall amount of money used by medical institutions and governments, while decreasing the progression and succession of illness and diseases related to and accentuated or propagated by, or due to stress.
Through this document I will discuss ideas and theories that influence and/or are pertinent to Landscape Architecture and stress, as well as natural elements that should be taken into consideration when starting to design or when planning a design that will be situated within medical institutions and healthcare facilities, but not limited to, and including any other exterior environment (such as a backyard). It will also outline design elements which emphasize appropriate ways to design these spaces and places responsibly and sensitively. By understanding how people respond to stress, Landscape Architects may be able to design appropriate, beautiful spaces.
Initially this practicum was directed towards designing beautiful, meaningful gardens for the sick and/or dying, as well as for the families, visitors, and employees within healthcare settings. It has evolved, to include how our brains and bodies are physiologically affected by spaces and places that we encounter, and how these spaces either reduce or increase stress responses within us, therefore, increasing or decreasing our ability to heal, be healthy, and feel well. Stress is a major condition that is often “down-played”, ignored, or not understood within society. It is in fact a very serious condition / illness that has the ability to dictate the outcome of our physical and mental performances, and especially our health and well-being. Landscape Architects have the ability and responsibility to contribute positively to people’s bodily reactions to spaces: exterior and interior.

The study aims to investigate the status quo of first-time mothers stressor, stress coping strategies and stress response and the different situations when the first-time mother is supported by different partners. With first-time mothers whose first-born child is under 2.5 years old as the sample of this study, it adopted the questionnaire survey research method and purposive sampling to find out the objects for questionnaire and obtained 164 valid samples. The major research tools included Questionnaire on First-time Mothers’ Mental Health made by the author and Psychosomatic Health Scale edited by Xu Wenyao (1999). The data were analyzed by statistical analysis including descriptive statistics, chi-square test and independent sample t-test. Based on the statistical analysis of valid data, it came to the following conclusions: 1. for first-time mothers, the stressor mainly involved three aspects which are arranged in order, namely, life changes, maternal works and economy. 2. the percentages of “maintaining family peace and refraining discontents” in the aspect of self-identification pressure source, “couples who seldom stay along or do not get along well” and “problems between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law” in the aspect of relation pressure source and “the cost of baby sitters” in economic aspect of pressure source in passive care and assistance group are all significantly higher than those in active care and assistance group. 3. in the experience of self relieving stress, the percentage of “finding out problems and immediately handling them by oneself” in active care and assistance group is significantly higher than that in passive care and assistance group. 4. in the issue of seeking other institutions or objects for help, the percentage of “providing technology information on taking care of babies” in passive care and assistance group is significantly higher than that in active care and assistance group. 5. in the experience of mental health activities, the percentage of “the degree of helpfulness while participating mental health activities” in active care and assistance group is significantly higher than that in passive care and assistance group. 6. in the experience of psychological counseling or therapy, the percentages of “believing psychologists can not really help me” and “high charges” are significantly higher than those in active care and assistance group. 7. the percentage of “overall effect of relieving pressures” in active care and assistance group is significantly higher than that in passive care and assistance group. 8. the aspects of “overall state of well-being physically and mentally”, “the degree of satisfaction towards the health of oneself”, “life quality” and “relatively less negative emotions” in active care and assistance group are significantly superior to those in passive care and assistance group. According the abovementioned research findings, the following suggestions are proposed as follows: as for first-time fathers and mothers, they should pay attention to the needs of first-time mothers and create communication environment for themselves. As regards related government departments and social institutions, they should promote mental health activities for first-time fathers and mothers, integrate and make full use of social resources and attach importance to the mental health service.

Human bodies' five senses which are eyes, ears, noses, tongues and bodies can help us constitute what beauty is. Out of these five senses, smell is the most difficult to describe but yet the profoundest. Life esthetics exists not only in our daily life but also connects with it strongly. The purpose of the present study is to experience life esthetics through smell, and we can further experience and discuss life esthetics through the learning of aromatherapy and stress relief. Although aromatherapy was used in China about two thousand years ago, the aromatherapy we are using today is actually from Europe. Aromatherapy is regarded as one of the emerging fashion activities in recent years. People nowadays are busy with career and family matters. As a result, they end up feeling stressed out. As a matter of fact, beauty can be found everywhere and anytime in life. Esthetics is connected tightly with life. Therefore, it is not necessary to go to an art gallery to find the presence of beauty. As long as we can calm down through the process of aromatherapy and stress relief and accept the way we are, we can find the meaning and true value of our lives. When we start to feel the beauty surrounding us, we start to realize what esthetics is. Essential oil is the most important element in aromatherapy. The use of essential oil through smell can relax our body. The purpose of the present study is to help people experience life esthetics through the smell relaxation process of aromatherapy, the method of survey interviewing and the method of individual interviewing. The result of the present study can help future researchers who are interested in aromatherapy understand this field from a different perspective

Calligraphy writing is an elegant type of life fun. An interest is needed to support insistence on practicing calligraphy. Practicing calligraphy can lead to an improvement in not only abilities but also self-confidence in an individual. Long-term practice of calligraphy allows the writer to enter an emotional state that is peaceful, stable, relieved, and relaxed, which can in turn alleviate anxiety and tension, help maintain physical and mental health, and also nourish a better character. It is said “Calligraphy carries an attitude and reflects the mind of the writer; one has to consider the profound and intricate variations of calligraphy while writing calligraphy with the heart”. As commonly seen, most calligraphy writers tend to have a disposition characterized by high self-discipline, low anxiety, high stability, and less suspicion. This study investigates the relations of calligraphy writing to individual temperament, health preservation, nature, and meditation. Besides, this study also probes into renowned calligraphy works, with the focus placed on writer’s affective expressions, healing of sorrows, release of personality and potentiality, expressions of the feeling of missing, and balancing in the event of physical discomfort. This study consists of four chapters. The content of each chapter is summarized as follows: Chapter 1: Introduction. This chapter introduces the research motivations, objectives, methodology, structure, scope, and terminology. Chapter 2: This chapter discusses theories of calligraphy with a focus on its relations to temperament, health preservation, nature, and mediation. Chapter 3: The affective expressions on renowned calligraphy works. This chapter discusses the affective expression and stress relief effects of writing calligraphy by analyzing healing of sorrows, release of personality and potentiality, expression of the feeling of missing, and balancing in the event of physical discomfort in renowned calligraphy works. Chapter 4: Calligraphy teaching design and implementation process. Chapter 5: Conclusion. This chapter concludes the author’s personal view on calligraphy in relation to life, affections, and stress relief.

Glass substrate is one of the important materials of TFT-LCD panel. The following LCD manufacturing processes are built on glass substrate and the scoring is one of the key processes. Normally, the scoring wheel material is made by using high hardness metal or diamond. The evaluation of score wheel type selection is decided by experience and experiment in the production machine to test the effect and verify the performance. Not usually to use numerical analysis method to predict the effect for score wheel type selection. This study used Vickers micro hardness tester to do glass indentation and crack test and obtain mechanical property of plastic deformation. Also used empirical formula from related scholars studied to acquire limit fracture toughness and limit stress to cause crack propagation. In numerical analysis method, applied DEFORM 3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software to build modeling and set analysis parameters, material property to compare simulation and experiment result. There are two mechanisms modeling for both Vickers hardness tester indenter and glass score wheel. Simulated indenter and score wheel move down motion and contact with glass to create glass surface crack and inner crack. Compared the difference between different score load and different score wheel angle, and compared with related research of empirical formula. Compared Vickers hardness tester experiment result with FEA result. There was 8.9% error between indentation lengths with FEA result. It could predict material hardness by simulation method. There was 21% error between indentation depths with FEA result. The bigger error for indentation depth was indenter real dimension and glass restore couldn’t build accuracy depth calculation. There was 15% error between real surface crack with simulation surface and inner crack average result. For effect of different score load and different score wheel angle, compared empirical formula and FEA result. The characteristic of glass brittle material and sensitivity of crack by stress applied were contributed bigger error 13~17% and two different curves be found on median crack prediction. Analyzed and judged the effect of residual stress need to use FEA Plastic-Elastic model to get more accuracy prediction. The difference between real score wheel rolling motion on glass with FEA modeling single axis move down motion also effect the result. At modeling mechanism building and relative numerical analysis data, it could help to realize the stress distribution and crack propagation judgment. Before the actual test, the advance planning and simulation compared to existing process can be still effective information material.

M.A.New job and study opportunities were created for many people because of political changes in South Africa. This implied that many people left their homes and moved to new areas. Research indicated that 60% to 70% of first year students suffered from homesickness during their first semester at university. For some of them it was only a light experience; for others it was an intense negative experience with serious social-, academic-, and financial implications which could result in illness or even death. The role of salutogenic factors (factors that contribute to health) in the occurrence of homesickness, experienced by Afrikaans- and English speaking male and female first year students at the Rand Afrikaans Universiy, was investigated. It was found that the experience of homesickness was diminished by the salutogenic factors "sense of coherence", "self-efficacy", learned resourcefulness" and social support. These factors thus contributed to health. The factor "hardiness" did not play a salutogenic role in this study. Although the multicultural context of South Africa was not taken into account, the study should be useful in identifying students who would be prone to homesickness and illness during their first year at university.
