Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

But Ivana Visnjic considers this to be only partially correct. Contrary to many popular believes, stress is not just nervous tension or post-traumatic effect, but it is also not something that needs to be avoided under any cost. The World Health Organization (WHO) has adopted the following definition of stress: "Stress is a reaction to any stimuli that is not unique to him.
The above mentioned definition of stress does not necessarily reflect it in a negative context. Stress can be beneficial if it motivates us to action, and encourages us to improve the quality of our activities. There are various approaches to the phenomenon of stress. One of them considers stress as a reaction, rather than a cause.
This approach describes stress as a condition of the body that is exposed and pressed to the limits of endurance, and sometimes even through them, like a piece of metal exposed to big pressure. To others, stress is determined as the cause of the products specified pressure. Stress can also be a subjective experience associated with psychological and emotional state. Modern research show that stress is a natural and integral part of life, and this is something that Ivana Visnjic completely agrees with. People need a fixed amount of stress, just like a dish requires specific spices in order to taste good. Each person needs a dose of stress in order to have a positive and healthy outlook, as complete lack of stress, in fact, means death!
However, excessive amounts of stress are bad for our health. Stress is the cause of early retirement, accidents at work and the cause of many psychological disorders and complications. Stress affects the immune system and contributes to the development of infections, allergies and more serious diseases. Furthermore, Visnjic explains that stress affects the digestive system and creates conditions conducive to the development of ulcers, catarrh of the colon, constipation and diabetes. In the skeletal muscle system, stress can cause back pain, tension headaches and arthritis. It also affects the cardiovascular system and contributes to heart attacks, hypertension and migraines.
