Stress. The parties agree that recognizing, minimizing and coping with stress are essential parts of employee wellness. Management will make every effort to provide annual training on stress reduction and will make information available on the agency website regarding stress reduction. This will be a part of the SSA Wellness Program. The designated health and safety representative may initiate an annual discussion with local management on reducing stress in the workplace. The Agency will not pay for travel and per diem for these discussions. Employees who feel they are experiencing harmful levels of job related stress may contact employee counseling services. The issue of stress reduction will be an appropriate agenda item for health and safety committees.

Stress. Although no clear definition of stress exists38, it has been linked to a whole range of diseases including multiple sclerosis39, asthma40 and risk factors for cardiovascular disease.41 In migraine, both mental and physical stressors are frequently reported as trigger factor. In retrospective questionnaire studies between 30.5% and 81.8% of patients reported psychosocial stressors as trigger factor, whereas between 15.5% and 43.1% of patients identified physical stressors as possible trigger factor (Table 2). Also prospective studies using diaries suggest a positive association between mental stress and migraine.42,43 However, this seemingly apparent association between stress and migraine is difficult to replicate in observational and experimental studies using biological stress parameters such as cortisol and cardiovascular parameters. In experimental studies no difference was found in cardiovascular response between the migraine attack and the inter-ictal state.44,45 Table 2 Potential trigger factors for migraine.

Stress. Latin vowels are long and short. Long vowels are marked by the symbol “ ˉ “ (e.g. ā), short vowels are marked by the symbol “ ˇ “ (e.g. ă). The number of syllables in a Latin word corresponds to the number of vowels. Syllables are counted from the end of the word, e.g.: li – ga – men – tum (4 – 3 – 2 – 1). In Latin the stress never falls on the first syllable. Disyllabic words take the stress on the second syllable: xxxxx, córpus, cávum. In polysyllabic words the stress falls on the second last syllable of the word if that syllable is long and on the third last syllable if the second last is short. The second syllable from the end is long if: 1 the vowel is before two or more consonants or X, Z: transversus, reflexus, Oryza; 2 there is a diphthong in it: diaeta, pharmaceuta. The second syllable from the end is short if:
