In recent years, there has been a growing interest in and need for a comprehensive ethogram of discomfort behavior of horses, particularly for use in recognizing physical discomfort in domestically managed horses. A clear understanding of the physical discomfort behavior of horses among caretakers, trainers, and professional health care personnel is important to animal welfare and caretaker safety. This is particularly relevant to pain management for hospitalized equine patients. Various pain scale rubrics have been published, typically incorporating only a few classically cited pain behaviors that, in many cases, are specific to a particular body system, anatomic location, or disease condition. A consistent challenge in using these rubrics in practice, and especially in research, is difficulty interpreting behaviors listed in various rubrics. The objective of this equine discomfort ethogram is to describe a relatively comprehensive catalog of behaviors associated with discomfort of various degrees and sources, with the goal of improving understanding and clarity of communication regarding equine discomfort and pain. An inventory of discomfort-related behaviors observed in horses has been compiled over 35 years of equine behavior research and clinical consulting to medical and surgical services at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine’s equine hospital. This research and clinical work included systematic evaluation of thousands of hours of video-recordings, including many hundreds of normal, healthy horses, as well as hospitalized patients with various complaints and/or known medical, neurologic, or orthopedic conditions. Each of 73 ethogram entries is named, defined, and accompanied by a line drawing illustration. Links to online video recorded examples are provided, illustrating each behavior in one or more hospitalized equine patients. This ethogram, unambiguously describing equine discomfort behaviors, should advance welfare of horses by improving recognition of physical discomfort, whether for pain management of hospitalized horses or in routine husbandry.

Device-free localization (DFL) has become a hot topic in the paradigm of the Internet of Things. Traditional localization methods are focused on locating users with attached wearable devices. This involves privacy concerns and physical discomfort especially to users that need to wear and activate those devices daily. DFL makes use of the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) to characterize the user’s location based on their influence on wireless signals. Existing work utilizes statistical features extracted from wireless signals. However, some features may not perform well in different environments. They need to be manually designed for a specific application. Thus, data processing is an important step towards producing robust input data for the classification process. This paper presents experimental procedures using the deep learning approach to automatically learn discriminative features and classify the user’s location. Extensive experiments performed in an indoor laboratory environment demonstrate that the approach can achieve 84.2% accuracy compared to the other basic machine learning algorithms.

The health of students and their physical fitness are among the most important and urgent problems. Health depends to a large extent on the way of life, covering the entire complex of life processes and the entire area of human interaction with the environment. When studying the functional state of the body, the most important are the indicators of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, the assessment of the level of physical development, fitness, functional capabilities and deviations in health. Motor activity increases the adaptation of the human body to changing environmental conditions and improves all adaptive mechanisms. Decreased physical activity contributes to an increase in the number of disorders in the body, which entails the risk of mental and physical discomfort in students.

Background: Inpatients who are attached in intravenous devices tend to experience physical discomfort. This condition can lead to the decrease in performing Salat as a Muslim prayer. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of individual coaching on knowledge, attitude, and practice of Salat among Muslim inpatient. This study used quasi-experimental design.Mehods: The samples were 36 Muslim inpatients. The data were collected by self-constructed questionnaire and analyzed by using Independent t-test and Mann Whitney test with α ≤ 0.05.Results: Before giving intervention, the means of pretest score in both groups were 14.33+2.17 and 14.39+2.28 for knowledge, 26.17+2.31 and 26.50+3.17 for attitude, and 10.00+2.91 and 10.50+3.45 for practice. There was no significant difference scores of knowledge (p=0.941), attitude (p=0.924), and practice (p=0.635) between two groups before giving intervention. However, after giving intervention, these scores have changed to 19.00+1.72 and 14.89+2.29 for knowledge, 26.97+2.25 and 26.61+2.81 for attitude, 15.33+3.80 and 10.50+3.45 for practice and there was higher significance scores of knowledge (p=0.000), attitude (p=0.003), and practice (p=0.000) after giving intervention.Conclusions: Coaching is the suitable method to increase Muslim inpatients knowledge, attitude, and ability to practice Salat. This study recommends the nurse to do coaching as a nursing intervention in helping patient to perform Salat

Атопический дерматит (АД) - это воспалительное заболевание кожи, мультифакториальной или моногенный природы, характеризующееся зудом, хроническим рецидивирующим течением и возрастными особенностями локализации и морфологии очагов поражения. Доля заболевания в структуре кожных болезней в настоящее время составляет от 10 до 30%. Когда процесс приобретает упорное течение с невыраженным эффектом от проводимой терапии и обострениями процесса до 3-4 в год с увеличением их длительности, то становится вялотекущим (торпидным). Торпидное течение АД приводит больного к снижению качества жизни за счёт физического дискомфорта и эмоциональной дезадаптации. Подходы к лечению в теории зависят от механизма развития заболевания. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inherited inflammatory disease of skin, multifactor or monogenic nature, characterized by itching, chronic recurrent current and age-specific features of localisation and morphology of lesion centers. The proportion of the disease in the structure of skin diseases is currently between 10 and 30%. When the process acquires a persistent course with an unparalleled effect from the performed therapy and exacerbations of the process up to 3-4 per year with increase of their duration, it becomes sluggish (torpedo) [1, 3]. The torpedo course of AD leads the patient to a decrease in the quality of life due to physical discomfort and emotional disadaptation. Approaches to treatment in theory depend on the mechanism of disease development.

Menstruation is part of a regular process that prepares a woman's body every month for pregnancy, which is controlled by the interaction of hormones released by the hypothalamus. In general, women experience physical discomfort for several days before and during the first day of menstruation in the form of pain or dysmenorrhea. Dysminorrhea is pain that arises during menstruation which can interfere with daily activities. The prevalence of dysminorrhea in Indonesia around 50% occurs in young women. As a result of menstrual pain, among others: about 20% of adolescents can not go to school because of pain during menstruation, so that academic achievement decreases. There are several pain management to overcome dysminore one of which is with yoga. The purpose of community service is to provide information to adolescents about how to cope with pain during menstruation without painkillers with yoga movements the balasana movemens. The materials used in this activity were leaflets, infocations, laptops, questionnaires and stationery, while this activity was carried out on April 13-15 at MTS Darussalam Al-Hafiz Jambi City. The results of this community service were female students knowing how to overcome pain during menstruation by doing one of the yoga poses of child pose to reduce pain during menstruation.
