Determinisms, neirozinātne kriminoloģijā
2017
Aprakstot determinisma teorijas zinātnē un kriminoloģijā, izzinot neirozinātnes attīstības vēsturi un tās kriminoloģiski nozīmīgos atklājumus, un novērtējot, kādu ietekmi uz šīm teorijām atstāj neirozinātnes atklājumi un atziņas, darba autors secina, ka, neirozinātnes atklājumi par noziedzīgas uzvedības neirobioloģiskajiem cēloņiem, kā arī cilvēka brīvās gribas neesamību, padziļina un nostiprina kriminoloģijas determinisma teorijas izskaidrojošo vērtību un potenciālu. Neirozinātniski informētas vai neirozinātnē balstītas kriminoloģijas determinisma teorija ir pretrunā ar atsevišķiem krimināltiesību zinātnē sastopamajiem tradicionālajiem pieņēmumiem,piemēram, brīvas racionālas gribas pieņēmu…
All-Possible-Couplings Approach to Measuring Probabilistic Context.
2013
From behavioral sciences to biology to quantum mechanics, one encounters situations where (i) a system outputs several random variables in response to several inputs, (ii) for each of these responses only some of the inputs may "directly" influence them, but (iii) other inputs provide a "context" for this response by influencing its probabilistic relations to other responses. These contextual influences are very different, say, in classical kinetic theory and in the entanglement paradigm of quantum mechanics, which are traditionally interpreted as representing different forms of physical determinism. One can mathematically construct systems with other types of contextuality, whether or not …
The Images of the Others in Rome (and Geo-Climatic Determinism) (Le Immagini Dell'Altro a Roma (E Il Determinismo Climatico-Ambientale))
2008
In order to explain the anthropic differences of the foreign people, many Roman authors often make use of the well known theory of geo-climatic determinism. Within the frame of this theory Rome becomes the center of the world, i. e., the place of normality, culture, and identity. The Roman identity, however, is not exclusive and is deeply rooted in alterity. In fact, the foundation of Rome, seen as "conluvies convenarum", can always be repeated by means of the conquests of the "Other", who can easily become "identical".
Association of different tumor necrosis factor α promoter allele frequencies with ankylosing spondylitis in HLA-B27 positive individuals
1998
OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential association of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) promoter alleles with ankylosing spondylitis. METHODS DNA from 141 HLA-B27 positive Caucasian patients with ankylosing spondylitis and 46 B27-positive and 99 B27-negative healthy Caucasian controls was investigated by polymerase chain reaction amplification of the TNFalpha promoter region and subsequent dot-blot analysis with allele-specific oligonucleotides. RESULTS There was a significant decrease in the promoter alleles TNF-238.2 and TNF-308.2 in the ankylosing spondylitis group (266 wild-type alleles, 16 variant alleles) compared with the B27-positive (75 wildtype promoter alleles, 17 variant al…
