Surprise: Unexpected Action Execution and Unexpected Inhibition Recruit the Same Fronto-Basal-Ganglia Network.
2020
Unexpected and thus surprising events are omnipresent and oftentimes require adaptive behavior such as unexpected inhibition or unexpected action. The current theory of unexpected events suggests that such unexpected events just like global stopping recruit a fronto-basal-ganglia network. A global suppressive effect impacting ongoing motor responses and cognition is specifically attributed to the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Previous studies either used separate tasks or presented unexpected, task-unrelated stimuli during response inhibition tasks to relate the neural signature of unexpected events to that of stopping. Here, we aimed to test these predictions using a within task design with i…
Vitamin C and E supplementation alters protein signalling after a strength training session, but not muscle growth during 10 weeks of training
2014
This study investigated the effects of vitamin C and E supplementation on acute responses and adaptations to strength training. Thirty-two recreationally strength-trained men and women were randomly allocated to receive a vitamin C and E supplement (1000 mg day(-1) and 235 mg day(-1), respectively), or a placebo, for 10 weeks. During this period the participants' training involved heavy-load resistance exercise four times per week. Muscle biopsies from m. vastus lateralis were collected, and 1 repetition maximum (1RM) and maximal isometric voluntary contraction force, body composition (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), and muscle cross-sectional area (magnetic resonance imaging) were measu…
Distinctive Representation of Mispredicted and Unpredicted Prediction Errors in Human Electroencephalography
2015
The predictive coding model of perception proposes that neuronal responses are modulated by the amount of sensory input that the internal prediction cannot account for (i.e., prediction error). However, there is little consensus on what constitutes nonpredicted stimuli. Conceptually, whereas mispredicted stimuli may induce both prediction error generated by prediction that is not perceived and prediction error generated by sensory input that is not anticipated, unpredicted stimuli involves no top-down, only bottom-up, propagation of information in the system. Here, we examined the possibility that the processing of mispredicted and unpredicted stimuli are dissociable at the neurophysiologic…
Attitudes Toward Professional Foreign Players in Finnish Amateur Basketball
1984
The use of foreign professional players may influence the host country's sport culture. To determine the attitudes toward foreign professionals in various Finnish amateur basketball leagues, all clubs (n = 55) playing basketball in the three highest Finnish leagues were interviewed by mailed questionnaire. The results indicated that recruitment of foreign pros was held to effect negatively the team spirit and the play tactics, the economics of the club, the development of other sport branches in the club and the success of the national team. Positive effects were expected on the number of spectators, public relations of the club and the success of its team. For lower leagues foreign profes…
On the road. Bob Noorda: il grafico del viaggio / On the road. Bob Noorda: travelling with a graphic designer
2011
Quella che è raccontata nelle pagine del volume è una microstoria del graphic design in Italia, scritta da un olandese che del suo paese d’origine ha mantenuto molto, in primis la formazione, la cultura del progetto, l’accento e lo stile, e del nostro ha assimilato altrettanto, tutti aspetti che hanno contribuito a fare di lui, Bob Noorda, un progettista ad altissimo livello che ha scritto con la sua lunga e importante carriera professionale, parte della storia della disciplina progettuale. Una microstoria che lega il Touring Club Italiano (TCI) al graphic designer che ne ha ridisegnato il marchio, senza che il parlare di ridisegno possa assumere in alcun modo un’accezione riduttiva per il …
Socializing makes thick-skinned individuals: on the density of epidermal alarm substance cells in cyprinid fish, the crucian carp (Carassius carassiu…
2010
Published version of an article in the journal: Journal of Comparative Physiology A: Neuroethology, Sensory, Neural, and Behavioral Physiology. Also available on SpringerLink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00359-010-0550-4 In cyprinid fish, density of epidermal club cells (i.e. alarm substance cells) has been found to vary between lakes with different predator fauna. Because predators can be labelled with chemical cues from prey, we questioned if club cell density could be controlled indirectly by predators releasing prey cues. In particular, we suspected a possible feedback mechanism between chemical alarm signals and their cellular source. We raised crucian carp singly and in groups of four.…
Secular trends in muscular fitness among Finnish adolescents.
2010
Aim: To investigate secular change over time in health-related muscular fitness and how leisure time physical activity (LTPA), sport club participation, and body mass index are associated with muscular fitness in adolescents. Methods: Two cross-sectional samples of Finnish 13—16-year-old adolescents were studied in 1976 (n = 643; 312 boys and 331 girls) and in 2001 (n = 579; 308 boys and 271 girls). Muscular fitness index was calculated as the sum of age- and sex-specific z-scores of four tests measuring muscular fitness and agility. Height and weight were also measured. Self-reported weekly frequency of LTPA of at least 30-min duration and regularity of participation in organised sport we…

I vincoli organizzativi alla formazione dei sistemi turistici locali: i Club di prodotto
2010
Agli inizi dello sviluppo del turismo, fare turismo significava essenzialmente trasferirsi per un periodo di tempo più o meno lungo non superiore ad un anno in un luogo diverso da quello da quello abituale e soddisfare l’esigenza in un luogo gradevole e funzionale e con poche esigenze essenziali (fare il bagno al mare, passeggiare in un luogo diverso dall’abituale, sciare in montagna, ecc.). Oggi nel fare turismo è sempre più importante il “cosa fare” e il “come farlo” e la località tende quindi ad essere valutata e prescelta in ragione della capacità di garantire una soddisfazione turistica non solo attrattiva, che convince il turista a muoversi verso di essa, ma occorre garantire servizi,…
