41. Manic-depressive psychosis

Manic-depressive psychosis (MPD) is a disease characterized by the presence of depressive and manic phases. The phases are separated by periods with the complete disappearance of mental disorders - intermissions.

It should be noted that manic-depressive psychosis is much more common in women than in men.

As mentioned earlier, the disease proceeds in the form of phases - manic and depressive. At the same time, depressive phases are several times more common than manic phases.

The depressive phase is characterized by the following symptoms:

1) depressed mood (depressive affect);

2) intellectual inhibition (inhibition of thought processes);

3) psychomotor and speech inhibition.

The manic phase is characterized by the following symptoms.

1. Increased mood (manic affect).

2. Intellectual excitement (accelerated flow of thought processes).

3. Psychomotor and speech stimulation. Sometimes depression can only be identified

through psychological research.

The manifestations of manic-depressive psychosis can occur in childhood, adolescence and adolescence. At each age, with MDP, its own characteristics are noted.

In children under 10 years of age in the depressive phase, the following features are noted:

1) lethargy;

2) slowness;

3) reticence;

4) passivity;

5) confusion;

6) tired and unhealthy look;

7) complaints of weakness, pain in the head, abdomen, legs;

8) low academic performance;

9) difficulties in communication;

10) disorders of appetite and sleep.

Children in the manic phase experience:

1) ease in the appearance of laughter;

2) impudence in communication;

3) increased initiative;

4) no signs of fatigue;

5) mobility.

In adolescence and youth, a depressive state manifests itself in the following features: inhibition of motor skills and speech; decrease in initiative; passivity; loss of vivacity of reactions; feeling of melancholy, apathy, boredom, anxiety; forgetfulness; tendency to self-digging; heightened sensitivity to peers; suicidal thoughts and attempts.

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 ... >>

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 ... >>

Combat robot controlled via satellite 05.03.2013

Lockheed Martin has demonstrated the ability to control the SMSS ground combat robot via a satellite channel: outside the line of sight from a distance of more than 320 km.

Currently, the capabilities of ground-based robots are limited by the range of reliable radio communications. It is dangerous for the operator to control a robot in the line-of-sight zone, and it has so far been difficult to organize over-the-horizon communication using UAV repeaters or satellites, since an instant response to commands is required from a ground vehicle.

Lockheed Martin specialists decided to use modern advances in the field of artificial intelligence, which made it possible to solve the problem of over-the-horizon control of ground robots. During testing at the Camp Grayling test site, the SMSS robot successfully completed several reconnaissance operations, while the vehicle was controlled from the Armored Research and Engineering Development Center (TARDEC). The robot demonstrated mobility, reliable operation of sensors and data transmission channels, and the troops received increased situational awareness without risk to the operator.

For testing, the SMSS was equipped with a telescopic mast with an electron-optical system and a thermal imager, which were controlled via satellite. To control the movement of the robot, a pre-set route program was used, which could be adjusted with simple commands such as "follow me", "go to the point" or "reverse". As a result, SMSS moved along the route with minimal operator intervention, automatically performing various actions necessary to complete the combat mission.

The successful demonstration of the control of a ground robot via a satellite communication channel opens up new opportunities for the use of these machines in combat conditions. Ground robots for the first time can become full-fledged combat units, like UAVs in their time. In addition, thanks to automatic driving systems and real-time video communication, the operator will be able to use weapons - from that moment on, ground robots will become a formidable force.
