The name refers to the two types of symptoms in schizophrenia, as defined by the American Psychiatric Association positive symptoms, which refer to an excess or distortion of normal functions e.g., hallucination s and delusion s , and negative symptom s, which represent a diminution or loss of normal functions.

unreferenced date August 2009 Positive obligations in human rights law denote a State s obligation to engage in an activity to secure the effective enjoyment of a fundamental right, as opposed to the classical negative obligation to merely abstain from human rights violations. Classical human rights, such as the right to life or freedom of expression , are formulated or understood as prohibitions for the State to act in a way that would violate these rights. Thus, they would imply an obligation for the State not to kill, or an obligation for the State not to impose press censorship . Modern or social rights, on the other hand, imply an obligation for the State to become active, such as to secure individuals rights to education or employment by building schools and maintaining a healthy economy. Such social rights are generally more difficult to enforce. Positive obligations transpose the concept of State obligations to become active into the field of classical human rights. Thus, in order to secure an individual s right to family life, the State may not only be obliged to refrain from intererence therein, but positively to facilitate for example family reunions or parents access to their children. The most prominent field of application of positive obligations is Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights . Category Human rights concepts ... more details

Consequently if there is any leak from the positively pressured system it will egress into the surrounding environment. Use is also made of positive pressure to ensure there is no ingress of the environment into a supposed closed system. A typical example of the use of positive pressure is the location of a habitat in an area where there may exist flammable gasses such as found on an oil platform . This kind of positive pressure also used on Operation theaters and IVF labs. To maintain positive pressure the room should be well sealed without any loop holes Hospitals may have positive pressure rooms for patients with compromised immune system s. Air will flow out of the room instead of in, so that any airborne microorganisms e.g., bacteria that may infect the patient are kept away. Amphibians use this process to Respiration physiology respire , whereby they use positive pressure to inflate their lungs . This process is important in human and chick development.
