Confinement implies confinement in a certain place, as occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic when the population was asked to stay at home.
Confinement is the action and effect of confining . This verb refers to confine someone within limits or banish them to a mandatory residence .
For example: "The detainee requested the transfer because he says he can no longer bear the conditions of confinement in the police station" , "If you want to avoid confinement, you must collaborate with Justice" , "The parents protested the confinement of the children in a small room when the school has large facilities .
Confinement in law
For the law , confinement is the penalty that is imposed on a convicted person and that forces him to live in a place other than his home. The term is often used as a synonym for confinement .
"The Judge still ordered how the murderer's confinement will be", "An eight-year sentence is harsh confinement" y "The inmate managed to escape from confinement and is a fugitive" son expresiones que muestran este uso.
Confinement can be a punishment imposed by judicial means.
The term associated with magnetism
The fact of containing a material in a plasma state within a magnetic field is known as magnetic confinement . This is made possible by the Lorentz force , a type of force generated by a charged particle.
Regarding that one, we would have to emphasize that it can be of two types. On the one hand, there would be confinement by laser, which is currently the most used, and on the other hand, there is confinement by clamping, which is based on a point of maximum understanding.
Postnatal confinement
In the same way, we cannot ignore the existence of what is known as postnatal confinement . This usually occurs in certain cultures and countries such as China and consists of the mother, after giving birth, being confined at home with her baby until the incision made heals or she recovers her health.
Among the most frequent rules of this aforementioned confinement are the following:
• Women who have just given birth are exempt from performing physical labor.
• They are prohibited from having sexual relations during that time.
• They must stay in their homes.
• They cannot be exposed to air conditioning or similar ventilation systems. Likewise, they are advised not to wash their hair during this period.
• It is essential that women who have just become mothers follow a specific diet to help their body recover more easily. Specifically, they are instructed to eat foods such as pumpkin and fish while others such as pineapple, watermelon or vegetables are prohibited.
Other uses of the notion
Within the scientific field of biology, the term in question is also used. Specifically, confinement is referred to as the set of tools and techniques that exist to prevent unwanted biological material from being dispersed throughout the natural environment.
Another type of confinement is inertial confinement , which consists of achieving the necessary conditions for the particles to achieve the necessary movement and produce a nuclear fusion reaction. This confinement can be obtained by laser or clamping.
Color confinement , finally, is the property of elementary particles that have a color charge. These particles are observed only together with other particles, producing a white combination (with a zero color charge).
