INFLUENCE OF OROFACIAL PAIN AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS ON SLEEP QUALITYAlattar, Ali January 2016 (has links)
SyfteUndersöka påverkan av kronisk orofacial smärta och psykologiska faktorer på sömnkvalitet vid käkmuskelmyalgi.Material och metoderDenna retrospektiva studie omfattade 37 patienter (6 män, 31 kvinnor, medelålder: 49 år) med käkmuskelmyalgi. Sömnkvalitet (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), smärtintensitet och smärtrelaterad funktionsnedsättning (Graded Chronic Pain Scale), depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9), ångest (General Anxiety Disorder-7), stress (Perceived Stress Scale-10) och katastrofiering (Patient Catastrophizing Scale) undersöktes med varierade formulär. Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) användes för att identifiera patienter med myalgi i käkmuskulatur.Resultat75% av patienterna rapporterade dålig sömnkvalitet, 73% rapporterade minst mild depressionsgrad, 54% rapporterade minst mild ångest, 59% rapporterade måttlig stressnivå och 38% rapporterade kliniskt relevant katastrofiering. Försämrad sömnkvalitet var relaterad till depression (rs = 0.45, n = 37, p = 0.008) ångest (rs = 0.46, n = 37, p = 0.007), stress (rs = 0.43, n = 37, p = 0.014) och katastrofiering (rs = 0.37, n = 37, p = 0.034). Multivariat logistisk regression visade att smärtintensitet, smartrelaterad funktionsnedsättning, depression, ångest, stress, katastrofiering och antal käkmuskler med refererad palpationssmärta förklarade dålig sömnkvalitet signifikant (p = 0.031).KonklusionSömnkvaliteten hos patienter med käkmuskelmyalgi påverkas i hög grad av kronisk smärtintensitet, smärtrelaterad funktionsnedsättning, antal käkmuskler med refererad palpationssmärta och depression samt ångest, stress och katastrofiering. / AimInvestigate the influence of chronic orofacial pain and psychological factors on sleep quality in patients with myalgia of the masticatory muscles.Material and methodsThis retrospective study included 37 patients (6 men, 31 women, mean age: 49 years) with masticatory muscle myalgia. Sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), pain intensity and pain-related disability (Graded Chronic Pain Scale), depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9), anxiety (General Anxiety Disorder-7), stress (Perceived Stress Scale-10) and catastrophizing (Patient Catastrophizing Scale) were assessed by questionnaires. The Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) were used to identify patients with myalgia.Results75% of the patients reported poor sleep quality, 73% reported at least mild depression degree, 54% reported at least mild degree of anxiety, 59% reported at least a moderate stress level and 38% reported a clinically relevant degree of catastrophizing. Impaired sleep quality was related to degree of depression (rs = 0.45, n = 37, p = 0.008), anxiety (rs = 0.46, n = 37, p = 0.007), stress (rs = 0.43, n = 37, p = 0.014) and catastrophizing (rs = 0.37, n = 37, p = 0.034). Multivariate logistic regression showed that characteristic pain intensity, degree of pain-related disability, depression, anxiety, stress, catastrophizing and number of masticatory muscle sites with referred pain significantly explained poor sleep quality (p = 0.031).ConclusionSleep quality in patients with masticatory myalgia is influenced by chronic pain intensity and related disability, number of masticatory muscle sites with referred pain as well as depression, anxiety, stress and catastrophizing.

Prognose und bergschadenkundliche Analyse dynamischer Bodenbewegungen durch oberflächennahen Steinkohlenbergbau in den USAZimmermann, Karsten 28 March 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Der untertägige Abbau von Steinkohle führt zu Bewegungen des überlagernden Gebirges und der Tagesoberfläche. Eine Bewegungsprognose ist im Hinblick auf entstehende Bergschäden weltweit von großer Bedeutung. In dieser Arbeit wird untersucht, ob eine Prognose von Bodenbewegungen im amerikanischen Steinkohlenbergbau mit einem in Europa bewährten Verfahren, einem dynamischen stochastischen Senkungsmodell, möglich ist. Dazu wurde eine Literaturstudie über den bisherigen Kenntnisstand in den USA durchgeführt, abbaubegleitende Bodenbewegungsmessungen aus dem Steinkohlengebiet der Appalachen ausgewertet und durch Modellrechnungen nachgebildet. Es wurde darüber hinaus untersucht, welchen Einfluss die spezifischen Abbaubedingungen und die räumliche und zeitliche Abbauführung auf die Größe und Dynamik von Bodenbewegungen haben. Die theoretischen und praktischen Untersuchungen zeigen einen deutlichen Know-how Vorsprung des europäischen Bergbaus in den Bereichen der Senkungsmodellierung und Bewertung abbauinduzierter Bodenbewegungen und belegen die Anwendbarkeit des Senkungsmodells. Es wurden wichtige Erkenntnisse gewonnen, die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer Optimierung des Abbauzuschnitts und der zeitlichen Abbauführung im Sinne einer bergschadensmindernden Abbauplanung aufzeigen. Die Arbeit trägt zur Verbesserung der bergmännischen und markscheiderischen Abbauplanung im Steinkohlenbergbau bei.

Monarch Cheers, Integration Whimpers, and a Loyalty Conflict: Kansas City Call's Coverage of the Black Yankees, 1937-1955Eames, Eric M. 05 December 2008 (has links) (PDF)
Already regarded as one of the top teams in Negro League baseball, the Kansas City Monarchs became known as a powerhouse unit in the 1930s and 40s. They rolled into towns with lights, amazing athletes, and competitive play. They won championship after championship during these years as Kansas City baseball fans strongly supported them. As they became an integral part of the city, the Monarchs' success, open-seating policy, and jazzy home openers fostered a large following of mixed-race fans. The local black newspaper, the Kansas City Call, held them up on a pedestal, while sportswriters for the mainstream Kansas City Star/Times downplayed the Monarchs' accomplishments and influence in the community. This thesis focuses on the relationship the Call had with the best team in black baseball through the context of its treatment of games, players, league officials, and team owners, as well as other patterns and tactics. Analysis of the Star/Times coverage is also considered to show variances in coverage between one city's race-divided newspapers. Negro League baseball and the African American newspapers that covered the teams grew out of and illustrated the segregation laws and prejudices feelings that existed in the United States during most of the twentieth century. Over time, especially when the sports world moved into the post-integration period, the Call's bolstering of the Monarchs deteriorated as the paper's promotion of democracy steered its sportswriters away from a baseball organization that symbolized segregation. The different types of coverage by the Call throughout the twenty-year study can be described as all-out promotion, balance, and abandonment. In the 1950s nostalgia and conflict existed, as the Call's sportswriters became torn on how to cover a team that was once the pride of the black community, but now represented inequality. In an attempt to remedy this torment, the Call tried to convince black baseball officials to remove the “Negro League” stigma by signing players of all races in order to mirror the more democratic Major Leagues. The white press, meanwhile, ignored the bigger issues of black baseball as one Negro League team after another died in the 1950s. The Star/Times peripheral coverage of the Monarchs provides context to the social issues and discriminatory practices at play in Missouri. As this thesis outlines the coverage of the Monarchs through the Black and White newspapers of Kansas City, previous research is substantiated and challenged to provide a fuller account of Jim Crow's effects.

The Composition and Distribution of Coal-Ash Deposits Under Reducing and Oxidizing Conditions From a Suite of Eight CoalsBrunner, David R. 09 April 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Eighteen elements, including: carbon, oxygen, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, potassium, calcium, titanium, chromium, manganese, iron, nickel, strontium, and barium were measured using a scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy from deposits. The deposits were collected by burning eight different coals in a 160 kWth, staged, down-fired, swirl-stabilized combustor. Both up-stream and down-stream deposits from an oxidizing region (equivalence ratio 0.86) and reducing region (equivalence ratio 1.15) were collected. Within the deposits, the particle size and morphology were studied. The average particle cross-sectional area from the up-stream deposits ranged from 10 - 75 µm2 and had a standard deviation of 36 - 340 µm2. These up-stream particles were of various shapes: spherical, previously molten particles; irregular particle that had not melted, hollowed spherical shells; and layered or strands of particles. These particles were a mixture of burned and unburned coal being deposited at various stages of burnout and having completed some burnout after deposition. The average particle cross-sectional area from the down-stream deposits ranged 0.9 - 7 µm2 and the standard deviation range of 2.6 - 30 µm2. The shape of the particles on the bottom sleeves are typically spherical indicating melting prior to deposition. Particles contained a distribution of elemental compositions that were not tightly grouped on ternary phase diagrams. This indicated that particles were not single compounds or phases but each particle contained a mixture of multiple compounds. Coals' deposit sulfur was strongly correlated with the calcium and iron content of the ASTM ash analysis. The low rank sub-bituminous and lignite coals that had high calcium content produced high sulfur deposits, particularly in the oxidizing region, down-stream deposits. The high iron bituminous coals, also produced high sulfur deposits, but more so in the reducing region, up-stream deposits. The low calcium and low iron coals produced low sulfur deposits. Mahoning was an exception being high in iron content but remaining low in sulfur content in the deposit. Gatling coal showed numerous deposit particles that contained only iron and sulfur consistent with the high pyrite content of Gatling coal. The average concentration of chlorine was insignificant in all of the deposits with the concentration being less than 100 ppm. Individual particles containing chlorine were found and were associated with potassium, sodium, and iron.
