Behavioural Controls

The use of benzodiazepines should be avoided. There are other safer pharmacological alternatives. Benzodiazepine withdrawal may play a role in the occurrence of delirium in the elderly. Other withdrawal symptoms include tremor, agitation, insomnia and seizures (Turnheim 2003). Thus, when there is long-term use of benzodiazepines abrupt discontinuation might be difficult. Discontinuation should however not be withheld but done slowly and step-wise. If benzodiazepines are used in the elderly, short-acting benzodiazepines such as oxazepam are preferred, because they do not accumulate in the elderly to the same extent (Kompoliti and Goetz 1998). If short-acting benzodiazepines are used they should be prescribed with caution, at low doses, and for short periods. As with all pharmacotherapy the effects should be evaluated. Benzodiazepines are sometimes used as a behavioural control. One should always ask if this use is for the benefit of staff or the benefit of the patient. The presence of staff may be sufficient for behavioural control.

Why learn Well, it does not hurt, and may even help. In other words, associative plasticity is a basic feature of nervous systems Activity-dependent, associative mechanisms are engaged in developmental processes and thus are at disposal for behaviour control. Further, being able to use past experience to predict the future is an obvious advantage, for example when it comes to predicting food.

Electrochemical promotion (EP) denotes electrically controlled modification of heterogeneous catalytic activity and/or selectivity. This recently discovered phenomenon has made a strong impact on modem electrochemistry/ catalysis/ and surface science. Although it manifests itself also using aqueous electrolytes/ the phenomenon has mainly been investigated in gas-phase reactions over metal and metal oxide catalysts. In the latter case, the catalyst, which is an electron conductor, is deposited in the form of a porous thin film on a solid electrolyte support, which is an ion conductor at the temperature of the catalytic reaction. Application of an electric potential on the catalyst/support interface or, which is equivalent, passing an electric current between catalyst and support, causes a concomitant change also in the properties of the adjacent catalyst/gas interface, where the catalytic reaction takes place. This results in an alteration of the catalytic behaviour, controllable with the applied potential or current.

This approach leads to a reformulation of current situational awareness models. Endsley s sequence of perceiving, understanding and projection into the futine is turned rrpside down if the projection into the future becomes the first and leading step. In addition, we would include a loop of non-conscious, highly automated processes in a model of Arrticipatory Behaviour Control as depicted in Figure 7.1.

The theory has stimulated much research, the vast majority of which has found that the Theory of Reasoned Action strengthened the links between attitudes and behaviour. However, researchers have found other factors, not included in the original theory, that also have an influence. The first modification of the theory was suggested by one of its original formulators, Icek Ajzen. He added the concept of Perceived Behavioural Control (PBC), to create what he referred to as the Theory of Planned Behaviour (see Eagley and Chaiken, 1993). 

Perceived Behavioural Control As with attitudes and subjective norms, PBC is formed from a number of elements. In this case the elements are ... 

We have seen in earlier chapters that there seems to be a close parallelism between the sets of leptons and the sets of quarks, at least in so far as the unified weak and electromagnetic interaction is concerned. The leptons are essentially point-like in their behaviour, and it is not inconceivable that the quarks too enjoy this property. In that case we might expect the hadrons to behave, in certain situations, in a less complicated fashion than usual. If we think of the hadrons as complicated atoms or molecules of quarks, then at high energies and momentum transfers, where we are probing the inner structure, we may discover a relatively simple situation, with the behaviour controlled by almost free, point-like constituents. The idea that hadrons possess a granular structure and that the granules behave as hard point-like, almost free (but nevertheless confined) objects, is the basis of Feynman s (1969) parton model.

The procedural controls developed in the creation of the safe system of work will also have to take into account technical control measures including design features such as the use of guards on cutting equipment, noise reduction systems and workplace modifications. Each of these will be supported by behavioural controls which address the individual in terms of selection and training, which are included In the safe person approach . 

Thus, the problem of the system s behaviour control on the basis of formulations (3) - (6) is in considering the stochastic discrete system with r-dimensional area of inputs. Outputs of the system in the time moment t present themselves vector-colunms of parameters (m,. .., 7tp). converting this information is connected with solving difficult problems of analysis and interpretation of physical measurements data presented by the information vector J(7ti,. .., 7tp). 

The common approach to interpretation of decisions is based on using the complexity principle [14], within the frames of which the problems of mathematical description of modes of external envhonment and interaction dynamics are considered. The formal model of choice is reahzed on the basis of the criterion function formed depending on the solving problem of the system s behaviour control ...
