چکیده
This testimonial from a new mother is an example of an imbalance between the biomedical and systems approaches to birth. The predominant model used by physicians is the biomedical model, which is based on reductionism, the attempt to take apart all the components of a problem to find its roots and to explain biological processes using the same explanations used to interpret inanimate matter. It does not take into account the role of social factors or individual subjectivity.

Studies in rats have shown that intermittent footshock stress reinstates drug seeking after prolonged drug-free periods. Recently, we found that another environmental stressor, acute 1 d food deprivation, potently reinstates heroin seeking in rats.

In this paper, we take modest steps toward this goal: First, we continue to assess students help-seeking behaviour in the...
متن کاملStudy on Automatic North-Seeking Key Technologies of Maglev Gyroscope
First, this paper proposes a static north-seeking mode based on the meridian seeking torque of gyroscope. We analyze the force situation and stability of the gyro magnetic suspension system in this mode and focus on the principle of torque balance feedback control technology. Two-position rotary control technology has been designed based on the sensitive state of the gyro rotor in four special ...
متن کاملDopaminergic enhancement of local food-seeking is under global homeostatic control.
Recent work has implicated dopaminergic mechanisms in overeating and obesity with some researchers suggesting parallels between the dopamine dysregulation associated with addiction and an analogous dysregulation in obesity. The precise role of dopamine in mediating reward and reinforcement, however, remains controversial. In contrast to drugs of abuse, pursuit of a natural reward, such as food,...
