Distraction external

The worker closed valve B very frequently as part of his everyday job. The operation of A was embedded within a long sequence of other operations that were similar to those normally associated with valve B. The worker knew that he had to close A in this case, but he was distracted by a colleague and reverted back to the strong habit of operating B. Possible cause intrusion of a strong habit due to external distraction (correct intention but wrong execution). 

Olfactometric measurement should be undertaken in a room or area which is kept free from odors. There should be an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation in the test chamber, which will encourage panel members to concentrate on the testing task and not to be distracted by external stimuli. The test should be carried out at room temperature and normal humidity. 

More talkative than usual or pressure to keep talking Flight of ideas or subjective experience that thoughts are racing Distractibility (i.e., attention too easily drawn to unimportant or irrelevant external stimuli)... 

Multiple studies have noted the comorbidity between PTSD and depressive disorders (Goenjian et ah, 1995), as well as between PTSD and externalizing disorders (Cuffe et ah, 1994 Glod and Teicher, 1996). Younger children with PTSD may present with classical features of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), including hyperactivity, impulsivity, restlessness, irritability, and distractibility (Cuffe et ah, 1994 De Beilis and Putnam, 1994 McLeer et ah, 1994 Loof et al., 1995 De Beilis et ah, 1999). More serious externalizing disorders, such as conduct disorder (CD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), are also commonly comorbid with PTSD (Arroyo and Eth, 1985 Steiner et al., 1997). Similarly, the relationship between PTSD and substance use disorders in children has been noted in several studies (Arroyo and Eth, 1985 Brent et al., 1995 Loof et al., 1995). 

Distractibility is common and characterized by rapid changes in speech or activity, resulting from a tendency to respond to irrelevant external stimuli, such as background noises or objects.

Concent rative meditation techniques basically instruct you to put all of your attention on some particular thing. This can be an external object that is looked at fixedly or some internal sensation such as the rise and fall of the belly in breathing. As in hypnotic induction, the meditater is told that if his mind wanders away from this focus he is to bring it back gentlyf51 to this focus, and not allow it to distracted. 

In planning, the unseen market competitors are rarely featured as drivers in a market yet as barriers to entry they form sometimes insurmountable hurdles. Distraction, which is given negligible attention when compared to direct competition, occurs in the external market because people are overwhelmed with information. 

Her hospital and clinic charts disclosed that 2 years earlier, she had been treated for approximately 6 months with neuroleptics. The sensation she was describing had first been noted while she was taking the medication. I concluded that she probably had tardive akathisia, a subtle case that did not force her to move about. However, because she did not show external signs of the disorder, other physicians were reluctant to make the diagnosis. The patient felt driven to distraction and even to suicide, but after my diagnosis, she felt somewhat relieved. At last, a physician was taking her seriously and talking honestly to her. 

In 1925, in The Artist Now , Kracauer notes that it is artists task to represent the emptied world, the external life that appears, and that has no face and no content.114 Film, as thin strips of light and shadow play, is the perfect rendition of this surface of reality. It peels off the substance-less surface. It represents the world of appearance , and especially in terms of glamour and distraction. For Kracauer, the hope is that such stark and excessive representation may make the surface so shiny, so polished, that it flips into something else, so shiny that it is made available for reflection. But this is a gamble. 

Under the influence of the mushroom, one s power of concentration is far more pronounced than normally. You become deeply absorbed in whatever you may be thinking. There is no external distraction. Whatever you do is emotionally intense. 

It has been suggested that the central disorder of ADHD is an impairment of behavioral inhibition of responding to inappropriate external stimuli or distracters (Barkley, 1997). Children with ADHD showed excessive errors of commission and a stronger tendency to respond correctly and in error during a Continuous Performance Task (laboni et al.,... 

Utilizing behavioral therapy that involves exposure and response prevention can be particularly effective in reducing panic symptoms (O Sullivan Marks, 1990). Where systematic desensitization has been used some clients find it particularly helpful when exposure to the anxiety-producing stimuli has been long enough to allow the anxiety to be markedly reduced (Marshall, 1996). Similarly, exposure to the feared stimulus is thought to be most effective when internal and external distractions from the phobic object or situation are minimized (Foa Kozak, 1986). Treatment of this type requires that the client be systematically exposed to the object or situation that provokes the fear and the subsequent avoidance. 

Dreams early in analysis often warn the patient about this need for containment. This is necessary because people are oriented to cultural values and expectations that may easily distract them from the task of self-reflection. This tendency may appear as a fear about what the outside world may think about therapy or analysis, represented in a dream where people come into the waiting room, possibly even into the consulting room, and interfere. Sometimes this intrusion is so disturbing that the whole room is taken over by a cacophony of externalized comments. The anxiety about what people might think is also a reflection of the complexes or attitudes within the analysand, what they might think about the therapy... 

You can also become aware of outside sensations, like the movement of the air or any sounds around you. Instead of seeing these external events as a distraction, experience them as part of the moment. Anything in your world—anything at all—can be approached with openness and awareness.

The spondyloptosis is reduced using a technique of slow reduction with an external fixateur and is followed by a combined posterior and anterior approach. The first stage consists of a posterior approach in order to perform GilTs procedure (resection of the loose lamina and decompression of nerve roots), a discectomy L5/S1 and the application of the external fixateur from L4 to the iliac crest. The external fixator is placed through the skin in a way that there is no tension on the skin following skin closure. The Schanz screws are placed into the pedicles of L4 and into the posterior iliac crest. The reduction is a progressive reduction manoeuvre with initially distraction, restoration of the lordosis and posterior translation of L5 over a period of 1-2 weeks. 

The introduction of modern instrumentation techniques has led to the development of reduction of the spondyloptosis [1-4, 6-9, 11-15]. The external fixator and pedicle fixation using Schanz screws is biomechanically strong, and has been used to reduce the slip over a period of two weeks by distraction and translatory movement of the L5 vertebra followed by sacral fixation. Magerl [11] in 1982, first introduced the temporary External Spine... 

Fixator for the fixation of lower thoracic and lumbar spine fractures. The idea of external reduction for spondyloptosis was introduced by Aebi et al. [2] in four patients. In one patient this technique did not allow slip reduction and the lumbosacral kyphosis could be corrected minimally. They suggested that the External Fixator seemed to be a powerful tool allowing gradual reduction of the slip and correction of the lumbosacral kyphosis by distraction (1 mm/day).
