Effects of Aroma Head Therapy on Stress and Brain Wave Change Using EEG
Abstrct
This research studied aroma head therapy on 15 women to observe stress improvement and brain wave responses using EEG. The experiment lasted for two weeks. The experimental method was conducted by measuring the brain waves using EEG before and after the aroma head therapy. SPSS 20.0 statistical program was used for analysis. The amplitude of alpha waves before and after aroma head therapy decreased in both left and right brains. Compared to the amplitude before the massage, the brain wave amplitude of the right brain notably resulted in a decrease. The physical stress index in both left and right brains decreased after aroma head therapy compared to the level before the massage. There was no difference in the mental stress index before and after the massage therapy of the aroma head therapy. Thus, the experiment proved that aroma head therapy has a close relationship in relieving physical stress and bringing psychological stability to middle-aged women. Based on the results, the appropriate use of aromatherapy on the human body shall contribute to maintaining a healthy life and promoting psychological and physical stability.

The advent of cinema brought with it its use as a propaganda device with which to transmit ideals and doctrines. As a result, newsreels and cinema documentaries were born with the aim of showing the «most relevant» news of the country and abroad, the former with a shorter duration. In this study, the Spanish NO-DO and «Sucesos Argentinos» are used as primary sources to interpret the images and imaginaries that were projected between 1943 and 1955 on female physical culture. The intention is to understand the official discourse of both political regimes on what Argentinean and Spanish society should be like, especially by questioning those meanings about women. In total, 69 issues of NO-DO and 14 editions of «Sucesos Argentinos» have been found which aim to show female physical culture in this period. The female physical culture shown in both newsreels was aimed at strengthening women’s bodies so that they could carry out their «natural functions» (mother, wife, housewife), as well as highlighting their «inferiority» in relation to men through lower impact activities and the homogenization of bodies through clothing, and the performance of the same exercises in synchrony. And all this in countries with different regimes, but which, in the end, coincided.
