Стожер -Тълковен речник-

1. Истор. Кол в средата на харман, за който се връзва животното (кон, вол и др. ), за да обикаля около него при вършитба.

2. Прен. Това, на което може да се разчита; сигурна опора, крепител, стълб.

•Почти всеки ден преминавам през едно населено място, което носи това име.... Не искам да спирам там...

Като във всяко населено място, скоростта на МПС се забавя и очите успяват да фокусират повече неща ... постига се ефектът на забавяне на кадър. Кадърът се забавя, но моя пулс се ускорява.

От време на време се появява един кльощав кон, чиито ребра се виждат. Това старо конче пасе оскъдната зелена трева, която въпреки че е ниска и зелена...не ми изглежда никак свежа, може би защото под сянка .Той пасе там завързан за една “къща”, която се състои от една стена и половина ...

•Минавайки от там, виждам как всеки път да се движат фигури на дребни прегърбени старици с прегоряло лице и черна забрадка, с овехтели дрехи и с избелели празни платнени торбички ...Не се страхувам от мизерията, напротив- отивам право там, но образът на тези старици ме натъжава много- може би са уважавани майки, баби и прабаби... Може би, въпреки всичко, са по-жилави, отколкото си мисля... и именно тях трябва да питат рецептите за оцеляване, а не столетниците по Средиземноморието, които не дишат смога на града, както тези хорица тук. Тук достигането 70-80 години вероятно би могло да се сраниви на 120, ако ме питате ....

И като контраст на всичката мизерия... Една статуя!

•В центъра има една висока каменна статуя- ... Един човек...като че ли в бяг...волен, горд, с размерите на Титан... Тая статуя някак нелепо стои. Може би отбелязва по-добрите стари дни... Или още по-лошо – олицетворение на тогавашната надежда за по-добри дни, които са очаквали това градче ...тези надежди днес са неосъществени, но знае ли пък какво крие “утре” ...Може би чувството, което ми носят тези минути на преминаване през този град са лъжовни...пък и не са само лоши неща май...освен на нахакани босоноги деца, станах свидетел на едно посрещане на баща от дъщеря му ... детето тръгна напред с възклицания, широка прегръдка и още по-голяма усмивка ... Такава радост! Хората, които се връщат от чужбина носят големи куфари, този случай не беше такъв ...така че съм склонна да си представя, че това се случва всекидневно...малко ми напомни на клипчетата в интернет, където са уловени миговете на изненадващо прибиране на военни от мисия и реакциите на близките им, децата им, домашните им любимци...доста са зареждащи, препоръчва.

Но както и да е.... отплеснах се... все си загубвам бройката на паметните плочи на загиналите по пътищата, когато започна да мисля както виждам, вместо просто да регистрирам гледката от прозореца, който е мръсен btw ...

От Уикипедия: Стожер е село в Североизточна България. То се намира в община Добричка, област Добрич.

История Старото име на Стожер е Баллъджа (на турски – малък, или малко). В селото се е провела първата земеделска конференция на 21 март 1898, която е предтеча на учредителния конгрес на БЗНС, който се е състоял на 28, 29 и 30 декември 1899 в Плевен. Това е първият и сполучлив опит да се даде началото на ново съсловно движение, което да защитава интересите на бедните и средните селяни. В Стожер се събират селяни от Провадийска, Варненска, Добричка и Балчишка околия и слагат основите на земеделското организирано движение. По време на Първата световна война селото е опожарено от румънски войски, а много от жителите му са избити. Антон Страшимиров описва Баллъджа като разположено в „гористо плато“ „село от 200 къщи с просторни ханища“, превърнато в „страшно пожарище“.[1]

Селото е преименувано на Стожер през юни 1942 година.[2]

Земелвайс | Semmelweis

Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis^{[Note 1]} (German: [ɪˈɡnaːts ˈzɛml̩vaɪs]; Hungarian: Semmelweis Ignác Fülöp; 1 July 1818 – 13 August 1865) was a Hungarian physician of ethnic-German ancestry,^[2][3][4] now known as an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures. Described as the "saviour of mothers",^[2] Semmelweis discovered that the incidence of puerperal fever (also known as "childbed fever") could be drastically cut by the use of hand disinfection in obstetrical clinics. Puerperal fever was common in mid-19th-century hospitals and often fatal. Semmelweis proposed the practice of washing hands with chlorinated lime solutions in 1847 while working in Vienna General Hospital's First Obstetrical Clinic, where doctors' wards had three times the mortality of midwives' wards.^[5] He published a book of his findings in Etiology, Concept and Prophylaxis of Childbed Fever.

Despite various publications of results where hand washing reduced mortality to below 1%, Semmelweis's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. Semmelweis could offer no acceptable scientific explanation for his findings, and some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands. Semmelweis's practice earned widespread acceptance only years after his death, when Louis Pasteur confirmed the germ theory and Joseph Lister, acting on the French microbiologist's research, practiced and operated, using hygienic methods, with great success. In 1865, Semmelweis was committed to an asylum, where he died at age 47 of pyaemia, after being beaten by the guards, only 14 days after he was committed.

Beginning in 1861, Semmelweis suffered from various nervous complaints. He suffered from severe depression and became absentminded. Paintings from 1857 to 1864 show a progression of aging.^{[Note 13]} He turned every conversation to the topic of childbed fever.

After a number of unfavorable foreign reviews of his 1861 book, Semmelweis lashed out against his critics in a series of Open Letters.^{[Note 14]} They were addressed to various prominent European obstetricians, including Späth, Scanzoni, Siebold, and to "all obstetricians". They were full of bitterness, desperation, and fury and were "highly polemical and superlatively offensive",^[8]:57 at times denouncing his critics as irresponsible murderers^[11]:73 or ignoramuses.^[8]:41 He also called upon Siebold to arrange a meeting of German obstetricians somewhere in Germany to provide a forum for discussions on puerperal fever, where he would stay "until all have been converted to his theory."^[19]

In mid-1865, his public behaviour became irritating and embarrassing to his associates. He also began to drink immoderately; he spent progressively more time away from his family, sometimes in the company of a prostitute; and his wife noticed changes in his sexual behavior. On July 13, 1865, the Semmelweis family visited friends, and during the visit Semmelweis's behavior seemed particularly inappropriate.^[11]:74

The exact nature of Semmelweis's affliction has been a subject of some debate. According to K Codell Carter, in his biography of Semmelweis, the exact nature of his affliction cannot be determined:

It is impossible to appraise the nature of Semmelweis's disorder. ... It may have been Alzheimer's disease, a type of dementia, which is associated with rapid cognitive decline and mood changes.^[23]:270 It may have been third-stage syphilis, a then-common disease of obstetricians who examined thousands of women at gratis institutions, or it may have been emotional exhaustion from overwork and stress.^[11]:75

In 1865, János Balassa wrote a document referring Semmelweis to a mental institution. On July 30, Ferdinand Ritter von Hebra lured him, under the pretense of visiting one of Hebra's "new Institutes", to a Viennese insane asylum located in Lazarettgasse (Landes-Irren-Anstalt in der Lazarettgasse).^[9]:293 Semmelweis surmised what was happening and tried to leave. He was severely beaten by several guards, secured in a straitjacket, and confined to a darkened cell. Apart from the straitjacket, treatments at the mental institution included dousing with cold water and administering castor oil, a laxative. He died after two weeks, on August 13, 1865, aged 47, from a gangrenous wound, possibly caused by the beating. The autopsy gave the cause of death as pyemia—blood poisoning.^[11]:76–78

Semmelweis was buried in Vienna on August 15, 1865. Only a few people attended the service.^[11]:78 Brief announcements of his death appeared in a few medical periodicals in Vienna and Budapest. Although the rules of the Hungarian Association of Physicians and Natural Scientists specified that a commemorative address be delivered in honor of a member who had died in the preceding year, there was no address for Semmelweis; his death was never even mentioned.^[11]:79

János Diescher was appointed Semmelweis's successor at the Pest University maternity clinic. Immediately, mortality rates jumped sixfold to 6%, but the physicians of Budapest said nothing; there were no inquiries and no protests. Almost no one — either in Vienna or in Budapest — seems to have been willing to acknowledge Semmelweis's life and work.^[11]:79

His remains were transferred to Budapest in 1891. On 11 October 1964, they were transferred once more to the house in which he was born. The house^[24] is now a historical museum and library, honoring Ignaz Semmelweis.^[8]:58

Legacy[редактиране на кода]

Main article: Contemporary reaction to Ignaz Semmelweis

Semmelweis' advice on chlorine washings was probably more influential than he realized. Many doctors, particularly in Germany, appeared quite willing to experiment with the practical hand washing measures that he proposed, but virtually everyone rejected his basic and ground-breaking theoretical innovation — that the disease had only one cause, lack of cleanliness.^[8]:48 Professor Gustav Adolf Michaelis from a maternity institution in Kiel replied positively to Semmelweis' suggestions — eventually he committed suicide, however, because he felt responsible for the death of his own cousin, whom he had examined after she gave birth.^{[8]:176–178}

Only belatedly did his observational evidence gain wide acceptance; more than twenty years later, Louis Pasteur's work offered a theoretical explanation for Semmelweis' observations — the germ theory of disease. As such, the Semmelweis story is often used in university courses with epistemology content, e.g. philosophy of science courses—demonstrating the virtues of empiricism or positivism and providing a historical account of which types of knowledge count as scientific (and thus accepted) knowledge, and which do not. It has been seen as an irony that Semmelweis' critics considered themselves positivists, but even positivism suffers problems in the face of theories which seem magical or superstitious, such as the idea that "corpse particles" might turn a person into a corpse, with no causal mechanism being stipulated, after a simple contact. To his contemporaries, Semmelweis seemed to be reverting to the speculative theories of earlier decades that were so repugnant to his positivist contemporaries.^[8]:45

Statue of Semmelweis in front of Szent Rókus Hospital, Budapest, Hungary (erected in 1904, work of Alajos Stróbl)

The so-called Semmelweis reflex — a metaphor for a certain type of human behaviour characterized by reflex-like rejection of new knowledge because it contradicts entrenched norms, beliefs, or paradigms — is named after Semmelweis, whose ideas were ridiculed and rejected by his contemporaries.

Other legacies of Semmelweis include:

• Semmelweis is now recognized as a pioneer of antiseptic policy
• Semmelweis University, a university for medicine and health-related disciplines (located in Budapest, Hungary), is named after Semmelweis
• The Semmelweis Orvostörténeti Múzeum (Semmelweis Medical History Museum) is located in the former home of Semmelweis^[24]
• The Semmelweis Klinik, a hospital for women located in Vienna, Austria
• The Semmelweis Hospital in Miskolc, Hungary
• In 2008, Semmelweis was selected as the motif for an Austrian commemorative coin.^[25]

Carmen is a unisex given name that represents two names taken as one. Its first root is Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, used as a diminutive nickname for Carmel and Carmelo (respectively), from Hebrew karmel, "God's vineyard." The second origin is from Latincarmen, which means "song," "tune," or "poem" and is also the root of the English word charm. The name of the Roman Goddess Carmenta based on this root comes from the purely Latin origin, as is the fragment of archaic Latin known as "Carmen Saliare". In English, the name is unisex; in Italian, Spanish, Romanian and Portuguese it is generally female.

the situation on the Balkans is not at all "amor gitana" ...it's real social and political  problem ...

response to pseudojournalism

"Age of Fear: Psychiatry's Reign of Terror"  

i know it is fruitless to write under this kind of "'documentaries"' which aim only shock and thus block any rational thinking ...just like a flame attracts moths. this time i will try to put some food for thought .

It is no secret that throughout history humankind have treated mentally ill people brutally ...notice, there was/is/ stigma in the society, within the community... not among psychiatrists ...many people who need help can turn away from the help they need because of such kind of products of bad journalism.

it is no secret that horrible things had happened to the people in the madhouses- places that gathered not only mentally ill patients. Any human and animal experiments are wrong. Eugenics is wrong...Drugs have side effects ...most drugs, not only psychopharmacological ones....these are all logical points in this.

Not logical point- to ignore postwar economic crisis when it comes to death statistics.

I can't agree with the thesis that the founders of psychiatry haven't made progress for the science ,One cannot just simply dismiss the brain and its disfunctions as cause for psychiatric symptoms. Statements like this only shows that people made this movie don't have a clue about what mental illnesses are . If one accepts the notion that we consits of a body and completely separate spirit that casually hangs around us or sleeps under the diaphragm.... and when somebody is mad , only the spirit suffers , then i think we just travelled back to the medieval times and exorcism which is another dark page in the history of man.

Simply read more about W.Griesinger and other scientists that are mentioned above. We now have data from neuroimaging that clearly shows the correlation between psychiatric symotoms and lesions in the brain.

The personal stories at the end- everything is subjective! When the crisis is gone it's much easier to construct your own truth about what happened, maybe this is a way to protect self-confidence or just distancing themself from what they have gone through. this applies to every story we tell... we speak from our point of view. this is not always THE truth.

Alcohol dependency is not the only diagnosis but since it is presented here - let's think about what causes people to self- medicate with alcohol in the first place . Psychiatric wards are the second phase in their life. Alcohol is to blame for many devorces and lost jobs; "closed ward" is to protect, not to humiliate , humiliation would be to let the people who love to see you in ruin ... to let alcohol destroy your life.

Alcohol is what can make people suicidal or aggressive and this could lead to hospitalization against the will (as it is written in the law).

be critical of what you watch

and in institutions people are shaved because there are often infestations of NITS and flees ! that is not abuse.

The Hidden Enemy: Psychiatry

the war itself is a traumatic experience, loosing a friend is a traumatic experience- don't forget to put some other factors in the equation before demonizing medicine. neuroimaging is a basis for diagnosing some conditions like dementia.. the CT,MRI, PET scans are becoming more and more helpful in detecting even functional changes in the brain. If you have a cyst or traumatic lesion in your brain, it can be symptomless or it can lead to neurological and psychatric symptoms depending on the location and size. Everyone who has seen psychosis knows that behaviour alone is enough one to be diagnosed and no relative would argue whether or not a medication should be given to their loved one with psychosis. reading through the comments i see a lot of emotional reactions, no rational thinking ...there are problems that can be solved by psychiatry...not everyone is using polypragmasy and videos like that may discourage people from going to the doctor and eventually getting the help they need on time .
