40. Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia (from the Greek shiso - "split", frenio - "soul") - "a mental illness that occurs with rapidly or slowly developing personality changes of a special type (reduced energy potential, progressive introversion, emotional impoverishment, distortion of mental processes)".

Often the result of this disease is a break in the patient's previous social relations and a significant maladjustment of patients in society.

Schizophrenia is considered to be practically the most famous mental illness.

There are several forms of schizophrenia:

1) continuously ongoing schizophrenia;

2) paroxysmal-progredient (fur-like);

3) recurrent (periodic flow).

According to the pace of the process, the following types of schizophrenia are distinguished:

1) low-progressive;

2) medium progredient;

3) malignant.

There are various forms of schizophrenia, for example:

1) schizophrenia with obsessions;

2) paranoid schizophrenia (delusions of persecution, jealousy, invention, etc. are noted);

3) schizophrenia with asthenohypochondriac manifestations (mental weakness with a painful fixation on the state of health);

4) simple;

5) hallucinatory-paranoid;

6) hebephrenic (foolish motor and speech excitement, elevated mood, fragmented thinking are noted);

7) catatonic (characterized by the predominance of movement disorders). For patients with schizophrenia, the following features are characteristic.

1. Severe disorders of perception, thinking, emotional-volitional sphere.

2. Decrease in emotionality.

3. Loss of differentiation of emotional reactions.

4. State of apathy.

5. Indifferent attitude towards family members.

6. Loss of interest in the environment.

7. Inadequacy in experiences.

8. Decreased volitional effort from insignificant to pronounced lack of will (aboulia).

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Mini air conditioner Sony Reon Pocket 5 09.05.2024

Summer is a time for relaxation and travel, but often the heat can turn this time into an unbearable torment.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Plextor M8V Plus Solid State Drives 26.10.2020

Plextor introduced the M8V Plus series of SSDs. This is the development of the M8V series, released at the beginning of 2018. Like its predecessor, the new series includes M.2-2280 and 2,5-inch models with SATA 6Gb/s interface.

The novelty is the use of Kioxia's 96-layer TLC NAND flash instead of Toshiba's 64-layer TLC NAND flash (remember, Kioxia was taken over by spin-off and renaming of Toshiba's respective business line). The choice in favor of memory with more density has allowed to increase the volume of drives. While the M8V series includes 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB models, the M8V Plus series includes 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB drives.

The Silicon Motion SM2258 controller has been updated to the latest version and now supports Plextor Plex Compress technology. Its essence lies in the fact that during idle moments, the controller compresses files that have not been accessed over the past 30 days or more. In addition, the Plex Turbo feature has been improved by increasing the area dynamically allocated for SLC caching.

Since the data transfer rate is limited by the capabilities of the interface, it has not changed. In sequential read mode, the speed reaches 560 MB / s, in sequential write mode - 520 MB / s. Performance on random access operations increased to 88 IOPS in the case of a 000 TB drive and up to 1 IOPS in the case of the other two varieties.

The manufacturer estimates a 256 GB drive resource at 140 TBW, a 512 GB drive at 280 TBW, and a 1 TB drive at 560 TBW. The drives come with a three-year warranty.
