    OpinnĂ€ytetyön tavoitteena on kerĂ€tĂ€ tietoa rentoutumisesta, unesta ja masennuksesta sekĂ€ selvittÀÀ rentoutumisen vaikutuksia uneen ja koettuun elĂ€mĂ€nlaatuun masentuneella henkilöllĂ€. OpinnĂ€ytetyön tarkoitus meille tekijöille on syventÀÀ tietĂ€mystĂ€ rentoutumisen vaikutuksista masentuneella henkilöllĂ€, hankkia kokemusta tulevaa työelĂ€mÀÀ varten sekĂ€ verkostoitua tekijöitĂ€ kiinnostavalle fysioterapian osa-alueelle. OpinnĂ€ytetyön tarkoitus toimeksiantajalle ja fysioterapia-alalle on tuottaa tietoa, jota voidaan hyödyntÀÀ masentuneen henkilön fysioterapiassa. OpinnĂ€ytetyön toimeksiantaja on Lapin sairaanhoitopiirin psykiatrian klinikka. OpinnĂ€ytetyössĂ€ vastataan kysymyksiin, millaisia vaikutuksia hengitysrentoutusharjoituksella on masentuneen henkilön uneen sekĂ€ millaisia vaikutuksia rentoutumisella on masentuneen henkilön koettuun elĂ€mĂ€nlaatuun. Tutkimus toteutettiin tapaustutkimuksena viiden viikon rentoutuskurssina kevÀÀllĂ€ 2015. Tutkimuksessa haettiin vastauksia tutkimusongelmiin mÀÀrĂ€llisin menetelmin. Mittareina aineiston kokoamisessa toimivat Firstbeat-mittari sekĂ€ Sintosen 15D-elĂ€mĂ€nlaatukysely. Firstbeat-mittarilla mitattiin stressireaktioiden osuutta sekĂ€ palautumista unen aikana ja Sintosen 15D-elĂ€mĂ€nlaatukyselyllĂ€ koettua elĂ€mĂ€nlaatua. Firstbeat-mittaus suoritettiin hengitysrentoutusharjoitusta edeltĂ€vĂ€nĂ€ ja jĂ€lkeisenĂ€ yönĂ€ rentoutuskurssin toisella ja viimeisellĂ€ viikolla. ElĂ€mĂ€nlaatukysely toteutettiin rentoutuskurssin ensimmĂ€isellĂ€ ja viimeisellĂ€ kerralla. Tutkimus on tapaustutkimus ja tutkimuksen kohteena on yksi masentunut henkilö. Tutkimusaineisto analysoitiin Firstbeat-mittarin tulosten osalta Microsoft Word-taulukoiden avulla. Sintosen 15D-elĂ€mĂ€nlaatukyselyn tulokset on analysoitu Sintosen kehittelemĂ€n valmiin Excel-pohjan, arvotusalgoritmin, avulla. Mittaustulosten perusteella rentoutumisella on positiivisia vaikutuksia stressireaktioiden osuuteen sekĂ€ palautumiseen unen aikana ja koettuun elĂ€mĂ€nlaatuun masentuneella henkilöllĂ€. Tutkimushenkilön stressireaktioiden ja palautumisen osuus sekĂ€ palautumisen laatu paranivat hengitysrentoutusharjoituksen jĂ€lkeisenĂ€ yönĂ€ verrattuna edeltĂ€vÀÀn yöhön. ElĂ€mĂ€nlaatukyselyn mukaan tutkimushenkilön nĂ€kö, kuulo, nukkuminen, puhuminen, henkinen toiminta, vaivat ja oireet, ahdistuneisuus ja sukupuolielĂ€mĂ€ paranivat tai helpottivat rentoutuskurssin aikana. Tutkimuksessa saatuja tuloksia ei voi yleistÀÀ kaikilla masentuneilla, mutta tuloksia voidaan hyödyntÀÀ suunniteltaessa masentuneiden fysioterapiaa. Tutkimuksen tulokset houkuttelevat myös suorittamaan erilaisia jatkotutkimuksia.The aim of this thesis is to gather information on relaxation, sleep and depression and to assess how relaxation may affect sleep and quality of life of a person affected by depression. The purpose of this study is to enhance the researchers’ knowledge on the effects of relaxation of a person affected by depression and achieve experience for the future, also creating relations in physiotherapy sector. The purpose of this study, commissioned by The Lapland Hospital District and the Psychiatric clinic, is to produce knowledge useful for planning physiotherapy meant to a person affected by depression. This thesis responds to the research questions: “What are the effects of breathing relaxation for sleep?” and “What are the effects for quality of life of person with depression?" This is a case-study was developed during a five-week relaxation course in the spring of 2015. In this case-study quantitative research methods were used. The indicators are Firstbeat-meter and Sintonen 15D-quality of life-questionnaire. Stress reactions and recovery during sleep were measured by using Firstbeat-meter, and quality of life is measured by using Sintonen 15D-quality of life-Sintonen’s questionnaire. Firstbeat-measurement was administrated during sleep, before and after the breathing relaxation during the second and the last week of the relaxation course. Sintonen’s 15D-quality of life questionnaire was administrated during the first and the last session of the relaxation course. This case-study analyses one person affected by depression. The data was analyzed by using the Microsoft Word-sheet program and the Excel-sheet algorithm made by Sintonen. Based on the results, relaxation has positive effects on stress reactions and recovery during sleep, as well as on the quality of life of a person affected by depression. In comparison to the previous night, stress reactions, part of the recovery, and the quality of the recovery of the person improved after breathing relaxation. Sintonen 15D-life questionnaire shows that vision, hearing, sleeping, speaking, mental functions, discomfort and symptoms anxiety and sexual life improved during the relaxation course. The results of this study cannot be generalized; nevertheless, they can be useful for planning physiotherapy for people affected by depression. The results of the study may also suggest to perform further research on this specific topic

    Elastic pp Scattering at LHC Energies

    We consider the first LHC data for elastic pp scattering in the framework of Regge theory with multiple Pomeron exchanges. The simplest eikonal approach allows one to describe differential elastic cross sections at LHC, as well as pp and pˉp\bar{p}p scattering at lower collider energies, on a reasonable level.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, and 1 tabl

    Monte Carlo Simulation of Sinusoidally Modulated Superlattice Growth

    Full text link
    The fabrication of ZnSe/ZnTe superlattices grown by the process of rotating the substrate in the presence of an inhomogeneous flux distribution instead of successively closing and opening of source shutters is studied via Monte Carlo simulations. It is found that the concentration of each compound is sinusoidally modulated along the growth direction, caused by the uneven arrival of Se and Te atoms at a given point of the sample, and by the variation of the Te/Se ratio at that point due to the rotation of the substrate. In this way we obtain a ZnSe1−x_{1-x}Tex_x alloy in which the composition xx varies sinusoidally along the growth direction. The period of the modulation is directly controlled by the rate of the substrate rotation. The amplitude of the compositional modulation is monotonous for small angular velocities of the substrate rotation, but is itself modulated for large angular velocities. The average amplitude of the modulation pattern decreases as the angular velocity of substrate rotation increases and the measurement position approaches the center of rotation. The simulation results are in good agreement with previously published experimental measurements on superlattices fabricated in this manner
