Normality & abnormality
This document discusses the difference between normality and abnormality. It defines normality as the absence of illness and presence of well-being, adopting to situations according to rules. Abnormality is defined as significant deviation from accepted behaviors, emotions, or thoughts. Abnormality can be defined statistically, by violation of social norms, personal distress, or legal violations. Causes of abnormal behavior include biological factors like genetics or physiology, psychological factors like learning or coping, and sociocultural factors like discrimination. The DSM provides criteria for classifying mental disorders and considers behaviors abnormal if associated with disability, distress, social norm violations, or dysfunction. The GAF scale measures functioning on a 0 to 100 scale to assess normality and

It also examines the mind-body connection and the role of health psychologists in understanding illness, providing professional help and support, and implementing preventive measures and health behavior change.
Sociology of health and illness wk 22 mental health
Mental illness is a social construct that is influenced by normative expectations in society. Gender and race impact diagnosis and treatment, as women are more likely to be diagnosed with certain disorders and minorities often receive poorer care. The anti-psychiatry movement critiques psychiatry for medicalizing social problems and coercively targeting marginalized groups.
Mental Health: Introduction
This document provides an agenda and overview of key topics regarding mental illness in America. It begins with logistical items for an upcoming class discussion on mental illness. It then covers facts about the prevalence of mental illness, common types of mental illnesses, stigma and stereotypes associated with mental illness, the role of the media and public policy issues surrounding treatment and housing for those with mental illness.

Behavioral science
The document discusses factors that influence human behavior related to health issues according to the Health Belief Model. The Health Belief Model was developed in the 1950s to understand why people were not participating in disease screening programs. It identifies key constructs including perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers that impact health behaviors. The model can help explain behaviors related to disease prevention, screening, and treatment adherence. Improving understanding of factors like these that influence illness behaviors and patient compliance can help improve health outcomes.
Health psychology
The document discusses various aspects of health including physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health. It defines health according to the WHO as complete well-being in all aspects. Wellness is described as an optimal state of health on multiple dimensions including physical, social, spiritual, intellectual, environmental, emotional, occupational, and financial. Homeostasis is explained as the body's ability to regulate its internal environment and maintain stable conditions. Health psychology is presented as focusing on how biology, psychology, behavior, and social factors influence health and illness.
Behavioral sciences
The document discusses the importance of behavioral sciences. It defines behavioral sciences as the study of individual and group behavior through controlled experiments and observations. It lists several fields that fall under behavioral sciences including psychology, sociology, anthropology, ethology, ecology, and epidemiology. It notes that behavioral sciences focus on normal human behavior and teach doctors to humanize education. It concludes that behavioral sciences are important in medical teaching by addressing topics like mind-body interaction, patient and physician behavior, physician-patient interaction, and social/cultural issues in healthcare.
Social Wellness
Social wellness involves maintaining healthy relationships and how those relationships can positively impact other areas of wellness. It relies on open communication between parties and understanding different perspectives. The benefits of social wellness include increased self-esteem, better stress handling, relief from depression, and maximizing life experiences. Communication is key to social wellness, allowing people to get through misunderstandings and be a positive influence on others.
4. illness behavior and perceptions of illness
This document discusses illness behavior and perceptions of illness. It covers several key topics:
1) How people determine when they are ill based on their ability to function and the presence of symptoms. Cultural factors can also influence symptom perception.
2) Common illness behaviors people engage in when sick like self-medication, and factors that influence help-seeking behaviors.
3) The "sick role" concept where sick individuals have both rights and obligations in society, such as being exempt from responsibilities but also expected to want to get better.
4) How illness representations, or people's beliefs and understanding about an illness, can impact their response and behaviors. Recognition of symptoms alone may not be enough to consider oneself ill
Health Psychology: An introduction
The root of all health is in the brain. The trunk of it is in emotion. The branches and leaves are the body. The flower of health blooms when all parts work together. ~Kurdish Saying
Mental health in Pakistan
Mental health issues are a major problem in Pakistan. There is a severe shortage of mental healthcare professionals, facilities, and services in the country. Pakistan has only one psychiatrist per 10,000 people and a lack of rehabilitation facilities. There is also significant stigma around mental illness. However, some improvements have been made in recent decades through legislation, increased services, and international collaborations, but more still needs to be done to strengthen the mental healthcare system.
HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY
Health psychology deals with how biological, psychological, behavioral, social, and cultural factors influence health and illness. It examines how health and behaviors are linked, such as how smoking and overeating can lead to diseases like cancer and heart disease. Health psychology also studies how stress, personality traits, social support systems, and coping behaviors impact physical health. The goal is to understand health from multiple perspectives and apply psychological principles to improve well-being and healthcare.
Sociology Of Health And Illness
The document discusses different perspectives on health and illness from a sociological standpoint. It defines key terms like health, illness, disease, and the "sick role." It also outlines two main models of health - the biomedical model which views health problems as biological issues, and the social model which sees health as influenced by a variety of social, economic, and environmental factors beyond just biology. Both models are discussed, including their strengths and criticisms.
women and mental health
This document discusses various mental health issues that disproportionately affect women. It notes that depressive disorders account for over 40% of neuropsychiatric disability among women. Menstruation, menopause, post-traumatic stress disorder, intimate partner violence, and polycystic ovarian syndrome can all negatively impact women's mental health. Common conditions like premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder are explained in detail, along with their physical and psychological symptoms and treatment options.
Psychological Disorders
The document discusses psychological disorders from multiple perspectives. It begins by outlining what topics will be covered, including defining and classifying disorders, specific disorders like anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. It then discusses reasons for learning about psychological disorders and different perspectives on defining and understanding disorders. Key concepts covered include the medical model of disorders, biopsychosocial approaches, diagnosing and classifying disorders using the DSM, and critiques of diagnosis and labeling. Specific anxiety disorders like generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorder are explained. The nature of mood disorders like major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder are also outlined.

Biopsychosocial
The biopsychosocial model views health and illness as influenced by multiple interacting factors including biological, psychological, and social factors. It posits that biological events have psychological and social impacts, and vice versa. The model was first proposed by psychiatrist George Engel in the 1970s as an alternative to the biomedical model. While widely adopted, some critics argue it lacks clarity and promotes an artificial distinction between biological and psychological factors.
Mental health
Mental health is defined by the WHO as a state of well-being in which an individual can realize their abilities, cope with normal life stresses, be productive, and contribute to their community. A National Mental Health Survey in India found that approximately 7.5% of Indians suffer from mental disorders, with depression and anxiety being most common. Signs of poor mental health include fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, social withdrawal, irritability, excessive worrying, and difficulty controlling emotions. Factors like self-esteem, social support, physical health issues, abuse, and difficult behaviors can all impact mental well-being. Maintaining good mental health involves self-care, social support, stress management, seeking help when needed,
Social construction of health
This document discusses the social construction of health and illness. It introduces sociological theories of illness such as Talcott Parsons' sick role and Eliot Freidson's types of illness. The sick role refers to the behaviors expected of those who are ill, including being exempt from normal duties but also obligated to seek treatment. Freidson identified conditional, legitimate, and illegitimate sick roles depending on the seriousness and stigma of different illnesses. The social construction of health and illness has changed over time and varies between cultures.
Clinical psychology
Clinical psychologists are on the front lines of treating mental health issues. They study, diagnose, and treat psychological problems by administering tests and assisting with diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. Clinical psychologists work in a variety of settings like hospitals, clinics, private practice, universities, and research agencies. They conduct interviews, assessments, and therapies to help understand, predict, and alleviate intellectual, emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues.
Principles of psychopharm[1]
This chapter discusses principles of psychopharmacology including:
1) Classification of psychotropic drugs and their pharmacological actions on neurotransmitters.
2) Factors involved in drug selection and dosing such as efficacy, side effects, pharmacokinetics, and patient variables.
3) Potential treatment outcomes and challenges including response, remission, treatment failure, and resistance.
The chapter emphasizes the importance of individualizing treatment based on diagnosis, past response, side effects, and monitoring.
What is Positive Psychology ?
Positive psychology is defined as the scientific study of what makes life most worth living and focuses on human strengths and virtues. It was founded by Martin Seligman and examines positive experiences, individual traits, and institutions that facilitate living a pleasurable, engaged, and meaningful life. Positive psychology's three pillars are positive experiences, traits like strengths of character, and institutions that enable flourishing.

Mind vs brain
1) The document discusses the difference between mind talk and brain talk. Mind talk refers to thinking, feeling, remembering, which people commonly attribute to the mind. Brain talk refers to the specific neurological processes in the brain.
2) While neuroscientists see the mind as a product of the brain, most people believe the mind is distinct from the brain. This is why criminal cases consider motives and intentions versus just biological factors.
3) The document argues that while the mind is physically produced by the brain, the concept of the mind is still useful for understanding human experience in a way that just discussing the brain is not.
Drugs and the brain
This document discusses how drugs and alcohol work in the brain by interacting with neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. It explains that drugs can mimic neurotransmitters, stimulate their release, or prevent their reuptake. While drugs may temporarily change mood or perception, they can also cause long-term brain damage and addiction. However, natural activities like exercise, meditation, helping others, and hobbies can also elevate mood through neurotransmitters without harm. Making natural highs a regular part of life may help reduce reliance on drugs and alcohol for their perceived benefits.

Appendix Neuroscience of mindfulness
1) Mindfulness promotes using the experiential focus network of the brain, which allows us to experience the present moment through our senses. This network is associated with better emotional regulation and positivity compared to the default narrative network which focuses on memories and thoughts.
2) Neuroplasticity allows the brain to strengthen neural pathways through practices like mindfulness meditation. This strengthens the direct experience network to improve attention, concentration, and emotional regulation.
3) There is a close biofeedback relationship between the brain and body where each influences the other. Mindfulness affects heart rate, breathing, and the immune and aging processes through slowing the body and producing calmness.

Psychology has its roots in ancient Greek philosophy, with early perspectives including structuralism which looked at the basic structures of the mind, and functionalism which examined how consciousness helps with problems of everyday life. Modern psychology uses the scientific method and different types of research like experiments, correlations, surveys, observations, and case studies. The six major perspectives in psychology are biological, psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, and socio-cultural.

1. Thoughts can manifest physically as disease, inflammation, or other health issues depending on whether they are positive or negative.
2. The body's life processes involve both construction and waste removal, and disease is often caused by a buildup of waste material from negative thoughts.
3. By eliminating negative thoughts and focusing on positive thoughts, a person can increase energy flow in their body and promote healing from disease.
POST.MIND title
The document discusses how thoughts, feelings, and emotions can influence the body through various pathways and systems. It explores the mind-body connection through fields like psychophysiology, psychoneuroimmunology, and epigenetics. Experts explain how chronic negative thinking can negatively impact bodily functions over time by triggering disease or weakening the immune system. The body's stress response, immune system, DNA expression, and other processes are interconnected with the mind in complex ways not fully understood. Suppressing emotions and persistent negative thoughts can cumulatively impact health through these mind-body mechanisms.

Voltage multiplier
Voltage multipliers are AC-to-DC power conversion devices, comprised of diodes and capacitors, that produce a high potential DC voltage from a lower voltage AC source. Multipliers are made up of multiple stages. Each stage is comprised of one diode and one capacitor.
Implementation of MIS and its methods
During the growth of a competitive global environment, there is considerable pressure on most organisations to make their operational, tactical, and strategic process more efficient and effective.
An information system (IS) is a group of components which can increase the competitiveness and gain better information for decision making. Consequently, many organisations decide to implement IS in order to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their organisations
Information systems have become a major function area of business administration. The systems, nowadays, plays a vital role in the e-business and e-commerce operations, enterprise collaboration and management, and strategic success of the business
THE LIGHT EMITTING DIODE
When the electron falls down from conduction band and fills in a hole in valence band, there is an obvious loss of energy.
High k dielectric
Introducing higher dielectric constant (k > 10) insulators [mainly transition metal (TM) oxides] is therefore indispensable for the 70 nm technology node and beyond
TM silicates such as HfSiOx have been preferred because they have better thermal stability compared to their oxides. The dielectric constant of TM silicates is less than TM oxides but higher than silicon oxide.
Child prodigy,savant and late boomers
The document discusses child prodigies, late bloomers, and savant syndrome. It describes how child prodigies demonstrate extraordinary skills at a young age far beyond their peers. Research has examined the brain structures and cognitive functions that may contribute to prodigious abilities. Some children who develop skills later than peers are called "late bloomers." Savant syndrome is a rare condition where individuals with developmental disorders demonstrate remarkable abilities in specific domains. The causes and traits of savant skills are not fully understood.

Photo transistors
Phototransistors are semiconductor devices that convert light signals into amplified electric signals. They consist of three regions - emitter, collector, and base - and function similarly to bipolar transistors, using the photoelectric effect to generate and separate electron-hole pairs when light is incident on the base or collector. Phototransistors offer high sensitivity, reliability, and temporal stability, making them well-suited for use as light detectors in control and automation systems.
8086 micro processor
The Intel 8086 is a 16-bit microprocessor that can access up to 1 MB of memory. It has two main components: the Bus Interface Unit (BIU) handles bus operations like instruction fetching and memory access, while the Execution Unit (EU) decodes and executes instructions. The BIU contains registers for the code, data, extra, and stack segments as well as an instruction queue. The EU has registers for accumulation, base, count, data, pointers, and flags, and contains an ALU and decoder. It executes instructions from the queued bytes using a pipeline architecture.

Quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with phenomena at microscopic scales, describing the wavelike and particle-like behavior of energy and matter. Erwin Schrödinger developed the wave equation and Schrödinger equation, which provide a mathematical description of quantum systems. Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, and Pascual Jordan created an equivalent formulation of quantum mechanics called matrix mechanics, which is the basis of Dirac's bra-ket notation for the wave function.
Function generator
Function generators are electronic test equipment that generate common waveforms like sine, square, and triangular waves over a wide frequency range. They are used to test and develop electronic equipment. Simple function generators generate waveforms by charging and discharging a capacitor with a constant current source, while more advanced arbitrary waveform generators can produce any digitally defined shape using direct digital synthesis techniques. Function generators provide important features like continuous tuning over a broad frequency band, modulation capabilities, and the ability to sweep output frequencies.
Resistors
Resistance opposes the flow of electric current through a substance. It is measured in ohms and represented by R. Resistors have two main characteristics - resistance value and power dissipating capacity. They are used widely in applications like heaters, electronics, and current limiting. Resistor values, power ratings, and tolerances vary depending on their use. Common types include carbon composition, metalized, and wire wound resistors. Resistors can also be fixed or variable depending on operating conditions.

Abstract data types
This document discusses data abstraction and abstract data types (ADTs). It defines an ADT as a collection of data along with a set of operations on that data. An ADT specifies what operations can be performed but not how they are implemented. This allows data structures to be developed independently from solutions and hides implementation details behind the ADT's operations. The document provides examples of list ADTs and an array-based implementation of a list ADT in C++.

Animal lifecycles
Animals go through a life cycle that includes birth, growth, reproduction, and death. They are born live or from eggs, grow into adults, have young of their own, and eventually die. An animal's life span starts at birth and ends at death, and varies between different species from 10-20 years for female tarantulas up to 50-60 years for alligators.
Resistors
Resistors are used in electric circuits to oppose electric current and are measured in ohms. They have two main characteristics - resistance value and power dissipation capacity. Resistors come in various resistance values and tolerances, and are used for purposes like heating and current limiting. They can be fixed or variable, and fixed resistors include carbon composition, metalized, and wire wound types. Variable resistors have three leads - two fixed and one movable - to allow adjustment of resistance while connected to a circuit.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark Universe
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.
Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.

The science of thought
- 1. The Science of Thought The Doorway to Five Senses
- 2. What is Thought? Thoughts are the result or product of spontaneous acts of thinking. Because thought underlies many human actions and interactions, understanding its physical and metaphysical origins, processes, and effects has been a longstanding goal of many academic disciplines including artificial intelligence, biology, philosophy, psychology, and sociology. THOUGHT?
- 3. Why is thought so unique ? Our Thoughts Are More Important to Our Health than Our Genes Our whole world is a reflection of our thought. As you think, your thoughts are activated, which in turn determines your attitude, because your attitude is all of your thoughts put together and reflects your state of mind. This attitude is formed in the chemical secretions that are released. Positive attitudes cause the secretion of the correct amount of chemicals, and negative attitudes distort the chemical secretions in a way that disrupts their natural flow. The chemicals are like little cellular signals that translate the information of your thought into a physical reality in your body and mind, creating an emotion. The combination of thoughts, emotions and resulting attitude impacts your body in a positive or negative way. This means your mind and body really are inherently linked, and this link starts with your thoughts.
- 5. Speed of Thought How fast are our thoughts? Are they physical? Or maybe a by-product of simple physical things like electric current and suchlike? Can thoughts be measured? If not, are they bound by physical laws? Could a thought be faster than the speed of light? In fact nobody knows the answer for it.
- 6. Neuroplasticity it refers to changes in neural pathways and synapses which are due to changes in behaviour, environment and neural processes, as well as changes resulting from bodily injury.
- 7. Power of thoughts Let’s try an example Now write your signature with your dominate hand Now Imagine writing your signature with your dominate hand Surprisingly ,the time taken do both would take the same time
- 8. Neural pathway Neural pathways serve to connect relatively distant areas of the brain or nervous system, compared to the local communication of grey matter.
- 9. Difference between Action And Imagination? It was quit surprising to know that your action and imagination would take the same neural pathway So, ultimately imagination is approximately equal to Action
- 10. Experiments on thought A set of students where asked to practice Piano for 2 hours day While the remain set of students where asked mentally practice Piano for 2hours per day Well the results where astounding
- 11. Contd… After 3 days both the groups where asked to play the Piano It was found that both the groups performed equally well After 5 days The group with physical exposure’s , performance was slightly better than the group with mental practice ,but here’s the catch mental practice group where able to cope with physical exposure
- 14. Can mental Practice change our physique ? One was asked to exercise his fingers by stretching and relaxing in a regular interval While the other was asked to imagine doing it After doing this on a regular basis it was found the The one with physical exposure had a 30% increase in muscle mass in his finger. On the other hand , the one with mental practice had a 22% increase in muscle mass in his finger .
- 16. CONCLUSION A Little Imagination will always never hurts
- 17. Bibliography THE BRAIN THAT CHANGES ITSELF ASAP SCIENCE FAST AND SLOW THINKING WIKIPEDIA
- 18. THOUGHT OF THE DAY
- 19. ANY QUESTION?
