The step-by-step methodology of design of scheduling scenarios and strategies for different complex flexible systems will be described. This approach give the possibility to design the task oriented scheduling of system and reach two main aims: functionality and high efficiency of system. The concept is based on priority structures and queues of orders and activities. This concept is implemente...

Sirs, Previously multiple criteria were used in the diagnosis of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and, in 1990, the ACR developed criteria for the classification of FMS (1). These criteria required only two components: a history of widespread pain for ≥3 months and tenderness at ≥11 of 18 tender points (TP). These criteria have been criticised since they are largely subjective, diagnosis is often ma...

Inadequately adopted fundamental movement skills (FMS) in early childhood may have a negative impact on the motor performance in later life (Gallahue and Ozmun, 2005). The need for an efficient FMS testing in Physical Education was recognized. The aim of this paper was to construct and validate a new FMS test for 8 year old children. Ninety-five 8 year old children were used for the testing. A ...

Patients and methods: Fifty female patients with FMS (mean age 40.5±7.2 years; range 21 to 55 years) and 40 healthy female controls (mean age 39±9.4 years, range 22 to 55 years) were included in the s...

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) patients show altered connectivity with the network maintaining ongoing resting brain activity, known as the default mode network (DMN). The connectivity patterns of DMN with the rest of the brain in FMS patients are poorly understood. This study employed seed-based functional connectivity analysis to investigate resting-state functional connectivity with DMN structu...

BACKGROUND Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic pain syndrome of unknown etiology. There is increasing evidence for small nerve fiber impairment in a subgroup of patients with FMS. We investigated whether skin cytokine and delta opioid receptor (DOR) gene expression in FMS patients differs from controls as one potential contributor to small nerve fiber sensitization. METHODS We investigat...

A ccording to Robert Bennett, one of the national figures in fibromyalgia syndrome (fms) research and treatment, fibromyalgia is a descriptive “construct developed by rheumatologists to account for a common group of patients that they see in their routine practice” (Bennett 1999a: 1). Although fms originated as an intellectual construct developed by rheumatologists to help in the study and trea...
