Abstract:

Physical and mathematical modeling is widely used in scientific research. This is due to the fact that field experiments on real construction sites are often impossible to organize for various reasons. The material included in the textbook is a summary of the authors ' experience in the field of system analysis. In the first section, the regularities of physical modeling of the functioning of objects based on the similarity and dimension theorems are considered. The second section presents modern models and methods for choosing optimal solutions: linear, nonlinear, stochastic, and statistical. The third section deals with experimental methods of system optimization based on the theory of experimental planning. Meets the requirements of the federal state educational standards of higher education of the latest generation. For students of higher educational institutions studying in the direction of training 08.04.01 "Construction", and graduate students of higher educational institutions.

Abstract:

In this book, we are talking about a single principle that permeates every organized entity, regardless of what sphere it belongs to. Everywhere and always, and in accordance with the current circumstances, the process of formation, support and regulation of any complex complexes and ensembles is guided and controlled by the concept of the realizable, which postulates that only what is stable and stable will be realized, and everything else will be discarded as untenable and unbalanced. These patterns and patterns can be traced resolutely at all levels of existence. And the universe, and life, and consciousness, and mind, and culture are arranged and assembled according to these schemes, because it is difficult, if possible, for them to be any other. This paper provides an overview of this type of layout in these areas, as well as the theory of the achievable and accessible itself. Using examples and theoretical considerations, it is shown that the configuration of all reliable and long-lasting structures is approximately the same or very similar, because it obeys a single end-to-end logic of the formation of any similar substances, whatever they touch and wherever they are found. In addition, it is demonstrated that if something in this spirit is objectified in practice, then its nature and properties must be fundamentally the same as what we observe around or extremely close to it. Finally, the view is argued and developed, according to which everything consists of matter, is constituted by it, is reduced only to it, including any non-physical phenomena. It is concluded that all the wealth of the world is subject to the same laws of its construction, and all this construction observes the universal rules of the functioning of complex things, no matter what they are aimed at. For all those interested in philosophy.

Abstract:

Similar to most musculoskeletal diseases, ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has the potential to impact physical functioning and work ability. Physical functioning refers to the ability to move to accomplish a task, and includes activities such as self-care, mobility, and doing chores. Physical functioning provides the foundation for the ability to work. Both physical functioning and work ability can be impacted by specific aspects of AS, as well as by barriers in the environment. Although patients with AS tend to have fewer functional limitations than patients with other rheumatic diseases, most patients are affected to some degree on occasion, and some patients can be profoundly and persistently affected.

Abstract:

During the past few decades, research from multiple disciplines has elucidated the profound connections between the immune system and mental health. This chapter provides a review of this literature, placing emphasis on the connections between inflammation and cytokines, and stress, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and social support. Additionally, brief overviews of the role of the natural immune system and adaptive immunity, as well as past research investigating stress are included. Further attention is focused on the physical health consequences of immune system dysregulation, ranging from increased susceptibility to infectious diseases, delayed wound healing, autoimmune responses, age-related elevations in proinflammatory cytokines, and decreased effectiveness of protective vaccinations. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the health effects and clinical implications of the relationships discussed throughout, as well as future directions to advance this field of study.

Abstract:

Mental health problems may co-exist with or be the presenting feature of other medical illness in older age. All clinicians also need to consider the potential psychological impact of ill-health and its treatments on patients and their carers. This chapter gives a geriatrician’s guide to comprehensive geriatric assessment, identifying physiological changes that occur with ageing and the potential mental health presentations of common medical conditions. The ‘geriatric giants’ of falls, immobility, incontinence, delirium and drug toxicity are put in the context of maintaining higher-order cortical functioning to enable the individual to remain upright, mobile, continent and clear in their thinking. These are considered with admissions avoidance or safe discharge planning in mind.

Abstract:

This chapter examines quality of life (QoL) and psychosocial functioning in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). More specifically, it summarizes recent investigations demonstrating that: (1) OCD negatively impacts multiple areas of life, such as social and family relationships, functioning at work and in the household, and aspects of physical and mental health; (2) the negative relation between OCD and QoL is as great as (or greater than) that observed in other psychiatric disorders and chronic medical conditions; (3) the degree of the QoL impairment is generally proportional to the severity of OCD symptoms; (4) specific OCD symptoms differentially impact aspects of psychosocial functioning; and (5) adequate treatment of OCD is associated with significant improvements in QoL. Finally, the chapter discusses future perspectives involved in the evaluation of QoL in OCD populations and the critical need to address these issues in assessment and treatment of individuals with OCD.

Abstract:

Demographic patterns and trends in different parts of Scotland arose directly from their economic, social, and cultural histories. They were significantly influenced by climate, topography, accessibility, and natural resources. This diversity produced very different agrarian systems in different areas. By the later nineteenth century, Scotland was, after England, the most industrialized and urbanized country in Europe. There was a growing focus on mining and heavy industry, but these were subject to periodic severe depressions and went into serious decline in the twentieth century. New industries were slow to develop and unemployment was high, even though financial and other services grew rapidly. For long periods, housing was poor and often seriously overcrowded, sanitary infrastructure weak, and there were ongoing problems with the structure and functioning of local government.

Abstract:

This chapter reviews the literature on quality of life and functional impairment in body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and discusses important lines of future research. Quality of life and psychosocial functioning are often poor in individuals with BDD. This is the case across multiple domains, including social, occupational, academic, and physical functioning. BDD symptoms often directly interfere with a person’s ability and willingness to engage in activities of daily living. Individuals with BDD frequently have high levels of social avoidance, which interferes with the development and maintenance of relationships and involvement in social, work, and educational activities. Rates of unemployment and disability are high. Several clinical correlates of BDD are also associated with psychosocial functioning and quality of life—most notably, greater severity of BDD symptoms and comorbid major depressive disorder.

Abstract:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease resulting in an impaired mucociliary clearance, chronic bacterial airway infection, and inflammation. The progressive destruction of the lungs is the main cause of morbidity and premature death. Diverse other organ systems such as heart, muscles, bones, gastro-intestinal tract, and sweat glands are often also affected and interfere with exercise capacity. Hence, exercise capacity is reduced as the disease progresses mainly due to reduced functioning of the muscles, heart, and/or lungs. Although there is still growing evidence of positive effects of exercise training in CF on exercise capacity, decline of pulmonary function, and health-related quality of life, the observed effects are encouraging and exercise should be implemented in all patient care. More research is needed to understand pathophysiological mechanisms of exercise limitations and to find optimal exercise modalities to slow down disease progression, predict long-term adherence, and improve health-related quality of life.

Abstract:

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a severe and common disorder that consists of distressing or impairing preoccupation with nonexistent or slight flaws in one’s physical appearance. Individuals with BDD perform repetitive, compulsive behaviors to try to cope with the distress that their appearance concerns cause. In addition, the appearance concerns cause clinically significant distress or impairment in psychosocial functioning. This chapter introduces the reader to BDD and provides a roadmap for the book.

Full text

Abstract:

Regular physical activity in old age is widely recommended as an effective way to prevent chronic diseases and maintain well-being. Nevertheless, sports participation carries the risk of injury. In elderly people, the risk of injury is greater due to age-related pathophysiological changes and concomitant chronic conditions. Available data indicate an increasing number of injuries among older people, which is associated with there being more older people and an increasing number of these people are participating in sports and physical exercise. An appropriate identification of risk factors for injury and education of older people can reduce the incidence of injuries. Methods of preventing injuries include protective equipment such as helmets, warming up, and properly designed training programmes. Health benefits of participation in regular physical activity adjusted to health status and physical functioning outweigh hazards of sport-related injuries, even in advanced age.

Abstract:

Since terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, a total of 2.7 million US service members have served in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Often discussed during this period have been post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, the so-called “invisible wounds of war.” These injuries directly affect intimate relationships, and the treatment of these injuries involves medications that often have sexual side effects. Another set of wounds are those that directly involve sexual functioning, including lower extremity amputations and genitourinary injuries. This volume encourages medical personnel to discuss sexual health with their patients; learn how to evaluate and treat erectile dysfunction, including side effects from medications; and understand how to mitigate the effects of physical injury, pain, and disability on sexual functioning. The target medical audience includes all providers who treat injured service members and veterans. Service members and their families should benefit from the information in this book as well.

Abstract:

Many anti-stigma programs are built on the premise that mental illnesses are like any other illnesses, and once the public realizes the similarities between mental illnesses and other physical conditions, they will adopt a more benevolent view. However, mental illnesses are not like other illnesses. Historical and political realities have made them different. Also, the way in which they express themselves is different in that, above all, they affect social relations and functioning. To overlook these fundamental facts is to deeply misunderstand the nature and effects of stigma attached to mental illnesses.

Abstract:

Trauma is defined as exposure to an event or situation that overwhelms one’s capacity to cope, and threatens or causes harm to mental and physical well-being. This may include direct exposure, witnessing events, or learning about distressing experiences that happened to a loved one. Trauma can have deleterious consequences for children including increased risk for psychopathology, physical health problems, and impairment in several domains of functioning including emotion regulation, academic abilities, and social relationships. Examples of acute or short-lived traumatic experiences include natural disasters, sudden death of a loved one, a terrorist attack, or a number of other one-time occurring distressing events. Children also may experience trauma that is chronic in nature, such as witnessing frequent community violence or exposure to daily war-related violence.

Full text

Abstract:

Adjustment disorders and anxiety are two of the more common responses to stressors in palliative care. At one end of the spectrum, adjustment and anxiety are normal defences. However, when coping mechanisms fail these responses can become pathological. Judging when a response is pathological is based on two principles: the severity of symptoms and the extent of disruption of normal functioning or homeostatic adaptation. The intimate two-way relationship between physical and psychological symptoms in palliative care means that physical symptoms have to be well controlled and that psychological symptoms can be masked by physical complaints. Management principles include talking therapies, psychopharmacology, and complementary treatments. Examples of innovative psychological treatments are dignity therapy and meaning-centred therapy. Every palliative care intervention requires consideration of the family and it is also important to monitor anxiety and adjustment of the staff who are also prone to burn-out, compassion fatigue, and difficulties in adjusting to stressors.

Abstract:

Lifestyle behaviors that contribute to wellness, specifically those involving physical exercise, healthy nutrition and weight management, healthy sleep patterns, and stress reduction, are of significant concern to clinicians and patients. Attending to these areas is critical, not only to prevent illness but also to reduce the deleterious impacts of existing chronic diseases on morbidity and mortality. Integrated primary care practices can readily establish and employ protocols for systematically addressing these important areas of overall physical and emotional functioning. This chapter discusses ways that primary care practices and team members can emphasize wellness in their integrated care services. The discussion covers assessing patients’ lifestyle choices, providing advice for improving health behaviors, developing agreed-upon interventions, assisting patients with related health behavior modifications and alterations, and arranging for improved patient access to and engagement with resources and programs that promote overall wellness.

Abstract:

This chapter reviews the literature examining fetal and infant neurobehavioral development. Basic fetal neurological development and neurobehavioral functioning are reviewed. Major fetal neurobehavioral milestones and their assessment are addressed and include fetal behavioral states, heart rate, movement, and responsivity to stimuli. The processes of neurological growth from birth to age 2 are reviewed. Infant neurobehavioral development is addressed and includes state regulation and sleep, physical growth and motor development, and the basic processes underlying social-emotional development. For fetus and infant, research examining the associations between neurobehavioral development and maternal distress and poverty is reviewed. The implications for future directions in fetal-infant neurobehavioral research are discussed.

Abstract:

Pain is a common problem in populations with advanced illness and has been best characterized in those with cancer or AIDS. Despite the high prevalence of pain in populations with advanced illness, there is evidence that pain is frequently under-diagnosed and inadequately treated. Undertreatment has multiple causes, one of which is the complex presentation of pain in these populations. Pain is not a purely physical experience, but involves many aspects of human functioning, including personality, affect, cognition, behaviour, and social relations. This complexity is best managed using a multimodality approach, including psychiatric and psychological interventions. These interventions may be psychotherapeutic, cognitive behavioural, or psychopharmacologic.

Abstract:

Awareness of patient safety, error reduction, and risk management is increasingly important in clinical geriatric psychiatry and in medical-legal applications as the baby-boomer population ages and as psychiatric therapeutics gain in complexity. The concept of maximizing patient safety and minimizing risk is based in part on improvement in communication and team coordination adopted from airline and military operations. The elderly population presents unique challenges to safe management, including the risks of medical comorbidity, polypharmacy, cognitive impairment, and reduced sensory input and physical functioning. Understanding the reasons for increased risk in the geriatric population will help clinicians design strategies to lower these risks and reduce the potential for harm.

Abstract:

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is still seen in many settings as a chronic disorder. This book details the ways that it is symptomatically a “good prognosis” diagnosis. This is particularly seen in the high rate of remissions of BPD and its constituent symptoms. The rate of suicide is also good news, as it is half the expected rate from four follow-back studies conducted in the 1980s. Areas with a more guarded prognosis, particularly for those who have not recovered, are poor physical health and poor vocational adjustment. In addition, rates of other deaths are increasing and have surpassed the rate of deaths by suicide. This book covers the following topics: History of the borderline diagnosis, models of the core features of BPD, earlier studies of the longitudinal course of BPD, the McLean Study of Adult Development (MSAD), the symptoms of BPD assessed in MSAD, the long-term course of the symptoms of BPD, symptomatic remissions and recurrences of the borderline diagnosis, prevalence and predictors of physically self-destructive acts over time, additional symptom areas over time, psychosocial functioning over time, recovery from BPD, predictors of time-to-remission and recovery, co-occurring disorders over time, mental health treatment over time, physical health and medical treatment, adult victimization over time, sexual issues over time, defense mechanisms over time, and new directions.
