PSYCHIC SYMPTOMS AND SELF-ESTEEM IN DANCERS

Introduction: The mental health of the human being and a higher level of the self-esteem have the positive effects on the peace surrounding, stability, success and the personal satisfaction of any individual. The fundamental opinion is that the dance has the affect on the body and the psychical health of the people. To explore if the dancers have their less-expressed psychical symptoms and higher self-esteem. Subjects and methods: The examination was performed on the sample of 310 examinees, mostly of the young life age and who identified themselves as the dancers or non-dancers. For the requirements of the investigation there were used the socio-demographic question-form, the psychical symptoms estimation scale (RCL-90-R) and the Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES). Results: The dancers show the smaller appearance of the psychical symptoms and that almost in all sub-scales, but their difference is not statistically significant. The statistically significant difference among the men and the women was recorded in the subscales of the somatisations, then the interpersonal vulnerability, the depression, the anxiety and the phobias. The dancers possess their higher self-esteem then the non-dancers, but statistically their difference is not significant. Comparing the results against the sex, the persons of the female sex possess the higher self-respect than the persons of the male sex. Conclusion: The dancers possess less of the psychical symptoms and their higher self-esteem than the non-dancers, but the difference within the results is not significant statistically

SD-RAN Interactive Management Using In-band Network Telemetry in IEEE 802.11 Networks

Future digital factories are becoming more and more softwarized. This introduces flexibility, but the industry also demands robustness and Quality of Service (QoS) support. While 5G envisions to enable real-time applications with strict performance requirements, IEEE 802.11 networks continue to be a viable option for indoor scenarios. However, IEEE 802.11 networks currently cannot be programmed fine-grained enough to fully support and ensure QoS. Besides, due to the unknown or coarse-grained monitoring information over the wireless links, detecting performance degradation is still challenging. In this paper, we propose a Software-Defined Radio Access Network (SD-RAN) interactive management approach assisted by In-band Network Telemetry (INT) in IEEE 802.11 networks. We design a system-level architecture that includes the network administrator in the management loop through monitoring, visualization, and configuration activities. To demonstrate the feasibility of our approach, we developed a prototype and evaluated its flexibility in a real-world testbed. We argue that, with the fine-grained network information from INT and the benefits of the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm, an SDN-tailored system can assist in troubleshooting and assess enhanced QoS delivery

Engineering IoT Networks

Networks inside IoT applications can be very complicated, merging several different standards in order to achieve the common communication objective. This chapter presents the main reference communication scenarios and architectures, as well as the primary standards behind them. To better describe network standards, the well-known ISO/OSI model is adopted as reference and the basic network terminology is introduced. We present several widespread standards such as Bluetooth, IEEE~802.15.4-based technologies, LoRaWAN, Sigfox, and, among cellular standards, NB-IoT and LTE-M. Then application-level technologies are discussed. Finally, we discuss the aspects to be considered in the design of the communication part of IoT applications, including localization aspects

Association of polygenic risk scores, traumatic life events and coping strategies with war-related PTSD diagnosis and symptom severity in the South Eastern Europe (SEE)-PTSD cohort

Objectives Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is triggered by extremely stressful environmental events and characterized by high emotional distress, re-experiencing of trauma, avoidance and hypervigilance. The present study uses polygenic risk scores (PRS) derived from the UK Biobank (UKBB) mega-cohort analysis as part of the PGC PTSD GWAS effort to determine the heritable basis of PTSD in the South Eastern Europe (SEE)-PTSD cohort. We further analyzed the relation between PRS and additional disease-related variables, such as number and intensity of life events, coping, sex and age at war on PTSD and CAPS as outcome variables. Methods Association of PRS, number and intensity of life events, coping, sex and age on PTSD were calculated using logistic regression in a total of 321 subjects with current and remitted PTSD and 337 controls previously subjected to traumatic events but not having PTSD. In addition, PRS and other disease-related variables were tested for association with PTSD symptom severity, measured by the Clinician Administrated PTSD Scale (CAPS) by liner regression. To assess the relationship between the main outcomes PTSD diagnosis and symptom severity, each of the examined variables was adjusted for all other PTSD related variables. Results The categorical analysis showed significant polygenic risk in patients with remitted PTSD and the total sample, whereas no effects were found on symptom severity. Intensity of life events as well as the individual coping style were significantly associated with PTSD diagnosis in both current and remitted cases. The dimensional analyses showed as association of war-related frequency of trauma with symptom severity, whereas the intensity of trauma yielded significant results independently of trauma timing in current PTSD. Conclusions The present PRS application in the SEE-PTSD cohort confirms modest but significant polygenic risk for PTSD diagnosis. Environmental factors, mainly the intensity of traumatic life events and negative coping strategies, yielded associations with PTSD both categorically and dimensionally with more significant p-values. This suggests that, at least in the present cohort of war-related trauma, the association of environmental factors and current individual coping strategies with PTSD psychopathology was stronger than the polygenic risk
