Strah od letenja

Flying gives the aviator a sense of power and control. Aviators challenge their own skills and test the physical limitations of the plane. They must maintain the balance between fear and joy, sacrifice and love, and risks and rewards of flying in order to continue to fly without reservation. Flying is dangerous. The danger is both real and symbolic, generating fears and anxiety. Interpretation of fear of flying spans from the psychoanalytic-endogenous on one side to the behaviouristic-exogenous on the other side. Unless strictly understood, both models should be taken to consider the interaction between the endogenous and exogenous factors. The therapy of the fear of flying is based on the correlation between the symptoms and underlying dynamics. The prognosis depends on the ability to work through those psychodynamic conflicts. Aviators may continue to fly if the symptoms are minor and the motivation to resolve conflicts is high.Letenje daje osjećaj moći i kontrole. Zrakoplovci iskušavaju svoje vještine, kao i fizička i zemaljska ograničenja. Da bi se letenje moglo nastaviti bez ograničenja, piloti moraju održati ravnotežu između straha i radosti, požrtvovanja i ljubavi, opasnosti i nagrada od letenja. Letenje je opasno, a opasnost je realna i simbolična, stvarajući strah i anksioznost. Pilot koji osjeti strah od letenja najčešće se koristi adaptivnim mehanizmima obrane, ali koji put neadaptivni mehanizmi obrane prevagnu nad adaptivnima pa latentni strah od letenja postaje manifestan. Tumačenje straha od letenja se proteže od psihoanalitičko-endogenog s jedne, do biheviorističko-egzogenog s druge strane. Oba modela treba prihvatiti fleksibilno, uzimajući u obzir međusobnu interakciju endogenih i egzogenih čimbenika. Strah od letenja može se također manifestirati kao »break-off« fenomen. Terapija straha od letenja zasniva se na uzajamnom odnosu simptoma i ishodišne psihodinamike. Prognoza ovisi o sposobnosti da se prorade ti psihodinamički konflikti. Zrakoplovac može nastaviti s letenjem ako su simptomi blaži, a motivacija da se razriješe konflikti visoka. Presudan čimbenik u prognozi pacijenta je njegova prava motivacija za nastavak letenja

This article presents an emergent model of the conceptualization of strah (Fear) in Croatian with focus on the constructions derived from the container image schema coded by preposition u (in). the semantic and syntactic analysis of the collocations of lexeme strah demonstrates conceptual hierarchy of the activation of metonymic and metaphoric processes via syntactic organization and perspectivization. It is argued that the meaning of the lexeme strah is conceptualized by metonymic profiling sensory-motor correlates of affective states and by superimposing metaphorical mappings of objects, spatial relations, object/entities with thematic and agentive roles that are organized in an emergent system of respective ontological, spatial, thematic and agentive patterns of linguistic constructions.This article presents an emergent model of the conceptualization of strah (Fear) in Croatian with focus on the constructions derived from the container image schema coded by preposition u (in). the semantic and syntactic analysis of the collocations of lexeme strah demonstrates conceptual hierarchy of the activation of metonymic and metaphoric processes via syntactic organization and perspectivization.

Preschoolers' fears

Strah je stanje koje je nelagodno i u sebi sadrži prijetnju, a posljedica je unutrašnjeg ili vanjskog podražaja. No, strah u evaluacijskom smislu može biti i koristan jer pomaže samozaštiti i preživljavanju pojedinca. Strah se pojavljuje u dobi od šest mjeseci. Većina djece u toj dobi ima izraženi strah od odvajanja od primarnog skrbnika. Kako djeca odrastaju, pojavljuju se i mnogi drugi strahovi npr. od: životinja, liječnika, otmičara, lopova, vremenskih nepogoda, imaginarnih bića, mraka, škole, bolesti, smrti, itd. Strah od liječnika jedan je od mnogih strahova karakterističnih za predškolsku dob. Cilj ovog istraživanja je bila utvrditi intenzitet straha, iskustva i doživljaje djece predškolske dobi pri odlascima liječniku/ci. Ispitivanje je provedeno na ukupno 61 djece, od toga 31 djevojčice i 30 dječaka. Sva djeca tijekom istraživanja pohađala su Dječje vrtiće Osijek.Fear is a condition that is uncomfortable and contains threat. It is a result of internal or external stimulation. However, in terms of evaluation, fear can be useful – it helps self-protection and survival of the individual . Fear appears at the age of six months. Most children at this age have expressed fear of separation from their primary guardian. As children grow older, there are many other fears such as fear of animals, doctors, being kidnapped, thieves, weather, imaginary creatures, the dark, school, illness, death, etc. Fear of doctors is one of many fears that are characteristic of preschool age. The aim of this study was to determine intensity of fear and experiences of preschool children when they go to the doctor's. Testing was conducted on a total of 61 children , of whom 31 are girls and 30 boys. All children during the research attended kindergartens in Osijek

Irradiation treatment of laryngeal cancer in a patient with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)

Background: Due to an aging population the incidence of both cardiac and tumor-related illnesses is increasing. A problem may arise if radiotherapy is necessary in close anatomic proximity to an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). These highly precise devices may respond to ionizing radiation with a loss of function or uncontrolled stimulation, with both effects being potentially life threatening. Available guidelines recommend the dose maximum to a pacemaker to be cumulative below 2 Gy. For most patients undergoing radiation therapy of the neck or of the chest this limit is exceeded, thus making a removal of the device and an implantation of an external ICD necessary. Case Report: A patient with severe cardiac problems underwent an implantation of an ICD. However, a recurrence of a laryngeal cancer was diagnosed. The irradiation dose after resection was 60 Gy to the tumor region and 50 Gy to the lymph nodes. Irradiation peakload to the ICD was calculated to be 2.5 Gy. This dose was verified with thermoluminescence measurements. The ICD was externally deactivated during the sessions of irradiation. Device checks demonstrated no malfunction. Conclusion: Even though the dose limits of the ICD of 2 Gy were exceeded, the device demonstrated a regular function during and after radiotherapy
