1 From this perspective, human resources represent a restraint and, at the same time, an opportunity for the competitiveness of an economic system, both in the case of a single company and of the whole territory in its complexity: A restraint as the development of an economic system and its sustainability depend on the characteristics of the people operating professionally within it; An opportu...

Acute release of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) during repeated restraint (3-h restraint on each of 3 days) causes temporary hypophagia but chronic suppression of body weight in rats. Here we demonstrated that a second bout of repeated restraint caused additional weight loss, but continuing restraint daily for 10 days did not increase weight loss because the rats adapted to the stress. In...

objective(s): epilepsy is a neurodevelopmental disorder which is strongly influenced by genetic and environmental factors. gestational stress has been shown to be an important factor for affecting seizure susceptibility. the present study was conducted to address whether gestational stress may affect pentylentetrazol (ptz)-induced epileptic behavior in rat offspring in a sex- and age- dependent...

Occupant kinematics during rollover inverted impacts has been the subject of significant research. Controlled experiments have utilized complete vehicles, partial vehicles and seat/restraint systems attached to various platforms. The Deformable Occupant Compartment Impact Tester (DOCIT) was developed to incorporate functions similar to previous methods, but has added a roof capable of deforming...

children under 3 years of age must not travel in a car or goods vehicle (other than a taxi) unless restrained in the correct child seat. children aged 3 years or over who are under 150 cm in height and weighing less than 36 kilograms must use the correct child seat, booster seat or booster cushion. rearward-facing child car seats must never be used in the front passenger seat of cars with an ac...

To clarify the role of metallothionein (MT), an antistress protein, induced by psychological stress, we carried out an experiment to determine whether hepatic MT synthesis induced by restraint stress can be classically conditioned by an olfactory odor cue of camphor. Mice were conditioned by exposure to the odor of camphor 1 hr before restraint stress and partly during restraint stress. Althoug...

Hemiparesis is common following stroke. The ability to reach and grasp is a necessary component of many daily life functional tasks, hence reduced upper limb function has an impact on the ability to perform activities of daily living. In hemiparetic patients, the unrestricted and unguided repetition of a motor task may reinforce compensatory movements. Trunk restraint allowed the patients to us...
