Legend of the full moon and what happens during

We are used in many novels literature of terror and his films get things suspicious sends fear to coincide takes place with the nights that completed the Moon to become the Badr though out the monsters of their nests, and ghosts from their graves and become the number of people to the wolves, what is the origin of the idea, historically and whether the moon really influence on the behavior of humans? This is what we will try to know the following lines

Still established the actual theory ambiguous, historically, because the artifacts that depict the moon in many cultures dating back to the Old Stone Age before the writing of history but that can be said that this belief lasted for so many centuries that the word Unace Lunacy, which means madness derived from the name of Luna Luna is the name of the gods of the moon Romanian, and we also find a similar link (madness and the moon) in other languages ​​such as language and Welch, perhaps the most famous myths and based on that theory is the werewolf legend.

We find around the world and an abundance of pseudo-scientific theories and myths based on this hypothesis. One theory claims that the moon's relationship to fertility and that this has to do with the menstrual cycle in humans by a period of 28 days on average. While the cycle of the moon 29.53 days, however, about 30 percent of women have on average cycle length (28) by two days.

According to some traditions, before the emergence of new technologies was usually assumed that surgeons refrain from work on the night of the Full Moon because of their beliefs increase the risk of death to the patient through blood loss.

The lunar influence theory falls within the so-called "pseudoscience" Pseudoscience is overlap with psychology, sociology, physiology, and this theory suggests that there is a link between certain phases of the moon rotates around the Earth and deviant behavior in humans. But these claims about the link does not withstand scientific scrutiny Over the past 30 years appeared more evidence demonstrates that as a "false flag". And sometimes called the theory that another name is "Transylvania hypothesis" or "Transylvania effect" in the scientific literature

In theory there are only some of the studies that support the possibility of influence of the moon, for example, the study concluded that patients with schizophrenia, mental show signs of disturbance in terms of quality of life and the nature of the mind of the individual During the period of full moon, the researchers looked at links between the physiological changes, such as cases of seizures in patients with epilepsy and the things that arise from epilepsy in the full moon and found a study conducted in 2004 and a relationship with a "statistically significant" between the moon and the impact of access to hospitals for reasons related to bleeding in the stomach or intestines, especially among males. The following are the results of studies remind tested the lunar influence on human beings in many ways:

Other studies have refuted assumptions based on the lunar influence. In the study, published in "behavior epileptoid", the (Sally Baxandal) and (Jennifer Fisher) from the University of London Institute premise that if the phase of the moon (Mhak, Badr Helal ..) effect on the seizures it would be the result of the role of moon in night lighting (intensity of brightness) as the largest of the situation where Mhaka is diminishing the intensity of lighting to the lowest level, or they fade away, but that covered a cloud in the sky, full moon, the link between the process of the moon and the seizures would not have a significant impact on those heart that is, it is linked to brightness regardless of the process of the moon, and the result of experience negative about the link between the frequency of epileptic seizures and the intensity of light the moon calculated the proportion of sunlight in the area ranges from 0.09 - to less than 0.05, and included a sample test 1571 patients with epilepsy and took more of 341 days

In 1996 the psychologist Ivan Kelly of the University of Saskatchewan (with James Rhoton and Roger Culver) analyzed 37 study had examined the relationship between the four phases of the moon (I put) and human behavior angered and their analysis for the lack of a relationship or large enough. They also examined 23 of the studies that claimed such a link, but nearly half of which contained a statistical error and at least one.

In 1992 and in the paper reviewed the Martins, Kelly Saklovski 20 studies aimed to find out the correlation between the phases of the Moon and incidents of suicide. They found that most do not emphasize those relating to the alleged studies and those that have proved a link the results did not agree with each other

According to psychiatrist Arnold Lieber of the University of Miami and a link to the killings in the town of Dade County from the city of Miami - Florida with the phases of the Moon, but in the later data analysis, including analysis conducted by the astronomer (George Abel) did not prove the findings (the Weber ) also noted the conclusions of both Kelly and Rhoton Culver Lieber to be used for statistical procedures inappropriate and misleading. Even when the tests were more precise, this did not prove that the crimes of murder connected with the moon.

The astronomer (Daniel Caton) analyzed 45 million birth records obtained from the National Center for Health Statistics did not find any correlation between the increase in the birth rate and the stage of the full moon. Reported both Kelly and Rhoton and Culver that (Caton) to examine the birth records and found a small increase over the third quarter of the phases of the moon, while the birth rate was slightly lower than the overall rate during the Full Moon (Badr), or start a new moon (Hilal)

In 1957 Rbiman analyzed a sample of 9551 records of births in Danville, Pennsylvania U.S. did not find any link between the birth rate and the moon.

Reported in 1959 (Walter) and (Abraham Manakr) in the study of more than 510,000 births in New York City for an increase of 1 percent in the birth rate and in the two weeks Lilian Full Moon

In 1967 he studied (Walter Manakr) another sample included 500,000 births in New York City, and found that there is an increase by 1 per cent in the birth rate period, which extends for two weeks around the full moon.

In 1973 he studied both the (Somerville) and (Borst) and (Owsley), another sample of 500,000 births from New York City and found an increase of 1 percent before the full moon.

Study did not reveal long as 15 months in Jacksonville of Florida for any effect of the moon on crime rates or rates of hospital admission records in particular.

There was no increase in crime rates during the nights of full moon according to the statistical analysis carried out by the Jacksonville Police Department. Which has only 5 out of 15 is full percentage higher than average crime, while the remaining ten had the lowest rate of the overall rate, and the days were recorded higher than the rate in the warmer months.

Did not show statistical analysis of visits to hospital emergency room (Chandrz) any effect of the moon, where he was incomplete, like other days.

Add to heritage and the popular urban legends and found the idea of ​​lunar influence also the way to the news media:

He had claimed that the moon impact on the behavior of voters in U.S. presidential elections in 2000

The police claimed in the city of Toledo, Ohio, an increase in crime rate by 5 percent during the moonlit nights (when the moon is full), while the police in the state of Kentucky, attributed the temporary rise in the crime to the Full Moon, and based their claim for this to occur chases for 3 Car bomb within a period of 4 hours only

In June of 2007 announced the senior police officers in Brighton, they were planning to deploy more officers during the summer to address the problems that they believe that they have linked the moon cycle.

In January of 2008 suggested (Annette King), a minister of justice in New Zealand, the wave of stabbings in the country caused by the moon.

In October of 2009 assumed the British political (David Tidnyk) that during the Full Moon will not be able to work the surgeons will not be the means to stop bleeding or blood Taktherh effective and the police to deploy more people in the streets. "

Finally ... May come from more studies to further clarify the effect of the moon on multiple aspects of human behavior and physiology.
