Meteozavisimosti: BODY SHOULD PREPARE

Meteozavisimost: the body must be prepared meteozavisimost What?

How does meteozavisimost?

How to protect yourself from the weather?

What is meteozavisimost?

Headache, body aches, shortness of breath or unwarranted gloom accompany those who are dependent on weather changes. Healthy people have never felt such changes because their bodies quickly adapt to new conditions. People in poor health are meteozavisimosti. Especially sensitive to changes in the weather people with chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system, lungs, and those who suffer from diseases of the joints.

Also, people with high or low blood pressure, angina and rheumatism sufferers or those who have suffered a heart attack.

The effect of weather on human health, scientists put forward several theories:

1. During extreme changes in weather slows the movement of the blood, and when the pressure in the blood vessels, the body begins to fight with circulatory arrest, releasing adrenaline.

2. Lack of sunlight, which under the influence of human skin to produce vitamin D, which is required for a better absorption of calcium in the intestine and its concentration in the bone.

3. Change in atmospheric pressure acts on the cell membrane, releasing various substances, including toxins. They are the same poison the body.

4. Neurosis associated with bad weather refers to mental disorders and can lead to long-term depression in the fall and winter.

The main factors that determine meteozavisimost become:

- Chronic diseases;

- Lowered immunity;

- Low resistance to stress;

- Malnutrition;

- Life in the city.

How does meteozavisimost?

Under the influence of weather and the central autonomic nervous system begins to adapt to external changes, causing the body meteotropic reaction.

Reserves are mobilized from various body systems, which leads to a shift in some systems and organs (especially in the cardiovascular system and the respiratory tract).

The ideal winter weather is dry, frost with no more than 20 degrees when the pressure is on Done 750-760 millimeters of mercury.

Summer weather is perfect for everyone, if the day is sunny with temperatures around 18-27 degrees, moderate humidity (56-71 percent) and the atmospheric pressure at the level of 750-760 millimeters of mercury.

High humidity at low air pressure can increase oxygen deficiency. High relative humidity hinders perspiration and body heat when overheated. At high atmospheric pressure may also occur vessels and bronchial spasms, headaches, and other complications.

Frosty weather also causes spasms of blood vessels and bronchi.

How to protect yourself from the weather?

Doctors believe that the body you have to train and prepare for possible changes in the weather.

1. You can not write off all the ills of the bad weather, as the lack of attention to ailments in people with chronic diseases, especially the elderly, can lead to complications of the disease. Because you can not put off a visit to the doctor.

2. You can train your body hardening, cold shower, but older people should consult their doctor before starting these procedures.

3. Provide adequate nutrition, which must include: beets, raisins, dried apricots, prunes, oranges, fresh greens, nuts, honey, onions and garlic and propolis.

4. Headaches caused by weather changes, you can make tea of chamomile or mint and sip, adding honey and lemon.

5. Spend more time outdoors, walking and even to exercise outdoors.

6. People with high blood pressure with a sharp cold snap need to go out immediately, but to stand in the entrance until the body gets used to the cold.

7. Abandon taking coffee to be replaced with herbal teas or green tea too strong.

8. Give up cigarettes and alcohol.

9. If the weather changes cause depression and despondency, that improve mood and raise the tone can extract St. John's wort (but a means of preventing people with high blood pressure).

10. Starting the day with a recommended charging that stabilizes blood circulation, but at elevated pressure and chronic diseases during sudden changes of weather it is better to refrain from physical and mental stress.

It must be true that universal statement,

according to which, all the time thinking about the world,

developments that have taken the most far-reaching consequences, often

occurs at the moment of interaction between two different systems

thinking. The latter could belong to completely different

ages, religious and cultural traditions and disciplines;

so if they do interact, that is, had

so much in common that it became possible to their true

interaction of one would expect new and exciting

events.

Werner Heisenberg. Preface to the Second Edition

This book was first published seven years ago, and

conceived - more than a decade. Therefore, it is appropriate to tell

readers what has happened since this book, with physics and

with by me.

When I found the parallels between the world views

physicists and mystics have been studied before, but never

been the subject of careful research, I was sure

that in the future these quite obvious parallels will be realized

each. Sometimes I even thought that my function in writing

The Tao of Physics - just check the obvious facts. I do not

deceived in their expectations: in spite of the fact that the financial

support and advertising my book were very small, both in the U.S. and

in England it was met with enthusiasm, and now in the world

There are about a dozen of its publications.

The reaction of the scientific community, as expected, was

more cautious, but in this environment is growing interest in expanding

the scope of application of the results of physics of the twentieth century.

It is not surprising reluctance of modern scholars recognize

the concurrence of mystical beliefs about the

universe with its own, as mysticism, in

At least in the West, has always been associated with something

mysterious and utterly unscientific. Fortunately, this situation

gradually changing for the better. Now that East

philosophy became interested in a sufficiently large number of people and

Meditation is not an object of ridicule and suspicion,

Scientists have also begun to take mysticism seriously.

The success of The Tao of Physics has led to major changes in my

life. In recent years, I have traveled a lot with lectures, speaking

the scientists and the people of different professions. Discussing

the use of new physics, I was able to much

better understand the reasons why in the last twenty years

West, there was a strong interest in Eastern mystical

teachings. Now I am inclined to regard this interest as one

manifestation of a more general trend towards

overcoming the imbalance in our culture - in our thoughts and

feelings, evaluations and criteria of social and political

structures. In my view, this imbalance can be described

with the fundamental concepts of Chinese philosophy - yin and yang.

In our culture, a clear preference for the values and

approaches, in which the predominant masculine - JAHN, and

neglected its integral women's complementary - yin. We

preferred affirmation association, analysis - synthesis

rational cognition - intuitive, science, religion, race

-- cooperation and so on. The one-sidedness of development reached

to dangerous levels, and led to the social, economic,

moral and spiritual crisis.

However, at the same time, our eyes began

big movement in the minds and hearts of confirming the ancient

Chinese saying that JAHN, reaching its peak

development, retreating in the face of yin. The sixties and seventies

years have seen a number of changes in public

Psychology: a growing concern in relation to environmental

problems, a strong interest in mysticism, feminism, revival

interest in healing and medicine - all - compensation for

the fact that in our society for a long time dominated the rational,

masculine principle, and a way to restore the natural

equilibrium. Thus, awareness of the deep relationship

modern physics and Eastern mystical teachings - one more step

to develop a new view of reality, provided

a thorough review of our values, perceptions and

thought. In my second book, The Turning Point, I examine

various aspects and implications of this transformation in the western

culture.

The fact that the current changes in our system,

values can be reflected in many scientific disciplines,

may seem surprising, if you believe in the absolute

objectivity of science and its freedom from the estimates. However, the new

physics denies the possibility of the latter. Additions to the quantum

theory made by Heisenberg and described in detail in this

the book clearly show that the classical notion of

the objective nature of science obsolete. Modern physics, so

way, challenging the myth of objectivity of science. Structures

which scientists study the world around them, which is closely linked to

* patterns of thinking - the concepts, thoughts, system

values. Consequently, the theoretical and practical

MIRAGES

It is known that light travels in a straight line in a homogeneous medium. At the boundary between two media ray of light is refracted, that is a little off from the original path. Such inhomogeneous medium is, in particular, the air of the atmosphere: its density increases near the surface.

A beam of light is bent, and as a result of luminaries are somewhat biased, upbeat about its true position in the sky. This phenomenon is called refraction (from Lat. Refractus - refracted).

Particularly strong refraction occurs when light is coming on the horizon. It is estimated that the stars, the Sun, the Moon at sunrise and sunset appear above their true positions by approximately 35 ', that is, half a degree. Approximately half of the degrees are equal and the angular size of the solar and lunar disk.

So if we see that the setting sun (or moon) the lower edge touches the ground, it actually goes beyond the horizon of the upper edge.

Due to the refraction of light in the atmosphere may appear virtual images of distant objects - a mirage.

The air is heated by the earth's surface, and the height of its temperature falls. However, if over a layer of cool air is warmer (brought, for example, the winds of the south) and the rarefied air layer, and the transition between them is pretty harsh, the refraction is greatly enhanced. Rays of light coming from objects in the world, describe the kind of arc and back down, sometimes for tens or even hundreds of kilometers from their source.

Then there is uplift the horizon, or upper mirage.

On the Cote d'Azur of France into the morning at times can be seen rising from the Mediterranean island of Corsica mountains - up to him more than 200 km. In Calabria, in front of the Sicilian coast, in the air often appear unfamiliar landscapes of cypress trees and castles. The researchers believe that the occurrence of upper mirage on the Mediterranean coast fault proximity Sahara: the masses of hot air rising over the desert, and then move to the north.

Camille Flammarion wrote in the book The atmosphere that the residents of the Belgian town of Verviers morning in June 1815. saw the army of the sky is so clear that even the most discriminating form of artillery. It was the morning of the battle of Waterloo. Distance between Verviers and Waterloo 105 km.

Superior mirages are often observed in the sea before the storm. It is possible that they gave rise to the legend of the ghost ship, though many believe the stories about them are fanciful.

Inferior mirages occur mainly in cases where the layers of air near the surface of the Earth (for example, in the desert) warmed up so that the rays of light emanating from objects, heavily distorted. Arced at the surface, they go upward. Then all of a sudden you can see the trees and houses, as if reflected in water.

In fact it is inverted images of distant landscapes. Inferior mirages can be observed even in the hot sun asphalt road.

RAINBOW

Rainbow provides a unique opportunity to observe the in vivo degradation of white light into a spectrum.

It usually appears after a rain, when the sun is quite low. Somewhere between the sun and the observer is more rain. Sunlight passing through the water droplets is repeatedly reflected and refracted in them in small prisms, and the rays of different colors out of the droplet at different angles. This phenomenon is called the dispersion (ie, expansion) light.

The result is a bright colored arc (and in fact a circle, the whole can be seen from the aircraft).

Sometimes there are just two, at least - three multicolored arc. First create a rainbow rays were reflected in drops once, the second - the rays were reflected twice, etc. In 1948, in Leningrad (now St.

Petersburg) among the clouds over the Neva appeared just four of the rainbow.

View of the rainbow, color intensity, width of the bands depend on the size and number of water droplets in the air. Bright rainbow after a storm happens in the summer rain, during which large drops fall. Typically, such a rainbow heralds good weather.

Rainbow gives the Moon, but since she is not (as compared to the sun) is shining weakly, then the rainbow from her weak and pale.

METEORS

It happens that pierces the night sky Firebolt. Suddenly flaring up in the air while she is rushing to Earth, and then just as suddenly disappears. These phenomena are often called shooting stars. But the stars they have no relationship. In our solar system is moving a lot of meteoroids - large and small particles of solid matter.

If the path of the meteoroid passes near the Earth, it can enter into its atmosphere. From air friction, such particles are heated and burn or evaporate, leaving behind a rapidly vanishing in the air glowing trail - a meteor. Particularly bright meteors - race cars - are clearly visible even in the daytime and resemble a large red-hot firebrand, followed by long stretches broad smoky band.

Not all meteoroids burn up completely in the atmosphere. Some reach the Earth's surface and, if they fall into the hands of scientists can tell a lot about the history of our planetary system.

HALO

Light mist around the sun or moon can be seen quite often. This is when the sky is covered with a veil - light high cirrus clouds. The smallest ice crystals and water droplets from which these clouds are, as it were glowing, scattering rays of bright light source. (Just glisten in the winter frosted windows, creating a halo around the light, like a halo can be seen around the bulb, if you look at it through a light translucent fabric.) But sometimes, if the clouds are thin enough and homogeneous, the Sun or the Moon appears not just a hazy glow and the bright circle, sometimes several laps - halo (from the Greek.

Gialos - a circle, disk).

Halo occurs when light rays are refracted at a high clouds thicken ice crystals, hexagonal-shaped prisms. As a result, we see a small circle halo radius 22 °. Form a large circle of rays that have passed through the side edge and the base of the prisms-crystals. Its radius is approximately 46 °. Large cool is less common and less lights, but the Sun it easier to see than the small, lost in the bright sunlight.

A small halo around the moon can be seen better. Due to the dispersion of light halo is always slightly painted in bright colors. Usually halo portend rain.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF URBAN POPULATION HEALTH

The influence of the urban environment on the health of numerous observations indicate that the cities have developed a much more worse living conditions for a man than in the countryside.

Introduction

This is due to the relatively poor hygienic conditions caused by overcrowding of the population, the presence of multiple sources of noise and pollution, isolation from natural conditions. Urbanization of the population and low reproduction rates have formed an unfavorable demographic situation.

Urban Environment is a logical consequence of the appearance on the Earth thinking beings, the youngest members of the ecosystem. The human desire for domination over nature, to its knowledge and use of this rule and knowledge for the development of the Earth's living space, the introduction of a social factor in the biological processes of the existence of the human population has led to the creation of entirely new, powerful impact on the surrounding ecosystem and the inner world, under the name of the city Wednesday.

Urban Environment smooth the process of natural selection has softened the impact of external factors that determine human adaptation, setting up the immune system. With a reasonable relation to the urban environment creates parity conditions of coexistence of built and natural environment. The slightest violation of parity as a result of socio-economic, environmental and other reforms invariably causes: changing demographics (birth, death), the spread of infectious diseases (plague, tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, etc.). In the history of mankind, there are many tragic evidence of the extinction of the urban population as a result of epidemics.

For example, in the XIV century, during the black plague killed a quarter of Europe's population.

A significant population density creates conditions that increase the potential risk of adverse health effects of environmental factors contribute to the rapid spread of infections, significant injuries street.

Topic the influence of the urban environment habitat on the health of residents attracted me because nowadays the bulk of the population lives in cities. The city not only affects the way of life, making it easier and more convenient, but also on human health. It is no secret that in the villages life expectancy is higher than in urban areas. Urban habitat adversely affects human health.

In our time, this topic is very relevant, because the patched increasingly we see around us people on life and health which the city is affected negatively. The birth of children with asthma, car accidents, headaches, high blood pressure, the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, poisoning by carbon gases - only the few examples of the negative impact on the person.

Urbanization, which was the result of uncontrolled mass aspirations of people from rural to urban artificial ecosystem, has further exacerbated the demographic, socio-economic and environmental problems. This created an imbalance between production and consumption, population size and capabilities of an artificial ecosystem. The management of these processes command methods led to a crisis of the political system and the disintegration of a great power.

Relocation in the city masses of rural residents who have been put in the new conditions of social, commercial, municipal, transportation and other measures affected the development of the mind and mental health of urban residents, his family and domestic relationships at the level of fertility. Social factors as a priority area in the formation of population health. An example of this is the close link between the illness and the family's material. An inverse correlation between the state of health of children and the amount of living space, the level of education of parents. In a well-off families, more than 80% of children have normal physical development and only 12% are underweight.

In households where income is below the poverty level, lack of body weight is found in almost 30% of children. In dysfunctional families neuro-psychiatric disorders observed in children 3 - 4 times more often. The very nature of life in the urban environment contributes to a violation of the biological rhythm of vital functions.

A wide variety of specific and nonspecific effects on the body, including the social, cause the mobilization of cellular and humoral immunity factors (Perederiy VG et al, 1989). Increased immunity leads to increased resistance to infections and tumors. However, a dramatic increase immunity leads to hypersensitivity and autoimmune diseases (Thomas RT, 1990).

Therefore, health should be seen as a dynamic process in a constant influence on the human body is natural and artificially created environmental factors. All of these factors are closely related and in some cases, promote health, and in others - cause disease.

Since the time of Hippocrates in the midst of medicine has always been a sick man. And still on the state of health of a society is judged by the statistics of morbidity. Therefore, our medicine is focused mainly on the problems of treatment of disease, studies of risk factors, rather than the factors that determine health, sustainability and vitality of the body.

In 1640 in Russia there are decrees on the protection of the urban environment. In 1686, there was already a law on the creation and maintenance of clean conditions in the urban environment (Bulgakov, 1990). In the future, technological progress has had a decisive influence on the formation of cities as artificial ecosystems, human health, which affected the life expectancy.

Physical factors - solar radiation

Solar radiation is an important factor affecting the state of the urban environment, and determines the totality of photo-biological (biochemical and physiological) reactions occurring in a living organism. The sun is the source of corpuscular (electrons, protons) and electromagnetic wave emissions. Solar radiation is partially absorbed, the components of the atmosphere and Earth's surface, and partly recycled into space.

Near the Earth's significant absorption of radiation is due to air pollution by dust, smoke and fog. Especially absorbed ultraviolet part of the spectrum. In the industrial cities with large dust and gas the overall intensity of solar radiation is reduced by 15 - 20% compared to rural areas, the loss of ultraviolet radiation reaching 40%.

Loss of UV rays can also be associated with inappropriate planning neighborhoods, building density, improper orientation of the streets.

The most biologically active portion of the solar spectrum is ultraviolet radiation. Under natural conditions, the intensity of ultraviolet radiation affect a geographical area, the height of the sun and pollution. The most important biological effects of UV rays is to stimulate many physiological processes in the body that is manifested in the health-building, toning and obscheprofilakticheskom effect of solar radiation on the body. Under the action of ultraviolet rays generated in the body, biologically active substances (histamine, serotonin, vitamin D), mobilized protective function of the skin, activates the blood system.

Small doses of UV rays also improve mental ability, physical activity, increased basal metabolism and protective properties of the organism.

Environmental Psychology

Описание:

This lecture provides an introductory overview of major topics that have been investigated in the field of environmental psychology. Environmental psychology is broadly defined as the study of people's relationships with their everyday social and physical surroundings. People's everyday environments include their homes, neighborhoods, classrooms, workplaces, health care settings, community public spaces, as well as more remote regional and global influences on their lives. These environments encompass both built (or human-designed) and natural elements, and in many instances, both place-based and virtual features. Among the research topics discussed in this lecture are the behavioral and health effects of "tight spaces" and dysfunctional architecture, urban stressors (including high levels of noise, population density, and traffic congestion), and the restorative capacity of natural environments to reduce psychological and physiological stress. Also examined are key processes that affect individuals' and groups' responses to their surroundings—for example, their spatial cognition, environmental personalization and territorial behavior, personal space, privacy regulation, information overload and "continuous partial attention". Finally, the interdependence between global environmental conditions and people's experiences of their local place-based environments is discussed.
