The cumulative effect of positive and negative feedback on emotional experience
2021
The cumulative effect of positive or negative feedback on subsequent emotional experiences remains unclear. Elucidating this effect could help individuals to better understand and accept the change in emotional experience, irrespective of when they or others receive consecutive positive or negative feedback. This study aimed to examine this effect on 37 participants using self-reported pleasantness and event-related potential data as indicators. After completing each trial, the participants received predetermined false feedback; they were then assessed on a nine-point pleasantness scale. There were 12 false feedback conditions categorized into three valence types. The positive type consiste…
SOFTWARE FRAMEWORK FOR HYPERSPECTRAL DATA EXPLORATION AND PROCESSING IN MATLAB
2018
Abstract. This paper presents a user introduction and a general overview of the MATLAB software package hsicube developed by the author for simplifying the data manipulation and visualization tasks often encountered in hyperspectral analysis work, and the design principles and software development methods used by the author. The framework implements methods for slicing, masking, visualization and application of existing functions to hyperspectral data cubes without the need to use explicit indexing or reshaping, as well as enabling expressive syntax for combining these operations on the command line for highly efficient data analysis workflows. It also includes utilities for interfacing wit…

Les moyens de manipulation dans "Les Liaisons dangereuses"
2010
Tutkimuksen aiheena oli manipulointikeinojen käyttö Choderlos de Laclos'n kirjeromaanissa Les Liaisons dangereuses. Tavoitteena oli vertailla keinoja, joita markiisitar de Merteuil käyttää kirjeissään pyrkiessään manipuloimaan toisaalta varakreivi Valmontia, toisaalta rouva Volangesia. Teoriaosassa esitellään lyhyesti kirjeromaanin pääpiirteet ja käydään läpi manipulointikeinoja, joita markiisitar de Merteuil hyödyntää kirjeissään varakreivi Valmontille. Tämä osuus teoriasta pohjautuu Frédéric Calas'n kirjaan Le roman épistolaire. Analyysiosaan valittiin kaksi kirjettä, yksi kummallekin vastaanottajalle. Kummastakin kirjeestä etsittiin keinoja, joita markiisitar Calas'n mukaan käyttää mani…
Larval life history, transmission strategies, and the evolution of intermediate host exploitation by complex life-cycle parasites
2007
Complex life-cycle parasites use their intermediate hosts both as an energy source and as a vessel for transmission to the next host in the life cycle. Parasites that grow rapidly to a large size may have high fitness (e.g. time spent in uninfective stages is limited), yet those that grow too aggressively may reduce host viability and their own probability of successful transmission. I examined aspects of both the growth and transmission strategy of an acanthocephalan (Acanthocephalus lucii) in its isopod intermediate host. In an experimental infection, the relative rate of larval parasite growth slowed over time, and eventually parasites seemed to reach a threshold biomass sustainable by t…

Medialna sfera publiczna według Jürgena Habermasa
2015
Osiemnastowieczna sfera publiczna o charakterze mieszczańsko-obywatelskim jest dla Jürgena Habermasa najdoskonalszą formą sfery publicznej. W początkach XIX w. nastąpił jednak jej powolny rozpad, w wyniku którego wystąpiła diametralna zmiana najważniejszych elementów decydujących wcześniej o jej idealnym charakterze. Opracowanie przedstawia nowo ukształtowaną medialną sferę publiczną, której najistotniejszymi elementami są m.in.: pseudo-publiczność, pseudo-prywatność, konsumpcjonizm, manipulacja, brak dyskursu publicznego, społeczna apatia, bierność, utrata zdolności pośredniczenia. Sfera publiczna, cechująca się wymienionymi przymiotami, stała się sprywatyzowaną przestrzenią, w której licz…
Data from: Multidimensionality in host manipulation mimicked by serotonin injection
2014
Manipulative parasites often alter the phenotype of their hosts along multiple dimensions. ‘Multidimensionality’ in host manipulation could consist in the simultaneous alteration of several physiological pathways independently of one another, or proceed from the disruption of some key physiological parameter, followed by a cascade of effects. We compared multidimensionality in ‘host manipulation’ between two closely related amphipods, Gammarus fossarum and Gammarus pulex, naturally and experimentally infected with Pomphorhynchus laevis (Acanthocephala), respectively. To that end, we calculated in each host–parasite association the effect size of the difference between infected and uninfecte…
Data from: Parasite infection in a central sensory organ of fish does not affect host personality
2016
Among the ecological factors acting on the evolution and expression of animal personalities and behavioral syndromes, parasitism has received comparatively little attention. However, infection and host behavior are often strongly intertwined, because host behavior can predict the risk of infection and can also be changed by an infection. We conducted a controlled experimental infection study to explore the effects of infection on host boldness, exploration and activity using rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and its trematode parasite Diplostomum pseudospathaceum, which infects a central sensory organ of the fish, the eye lens. Contrary to our expectation, infection did not change the withi…
Effectiveness of a manual therapy protocol based on articulatory techniques in migraine patients. A randomized controlled trial
2021
Background: Physiotherapy is used as a non-pharmacological treatment for migraine. However, controversy exists over whether articulatory manual techniques are effective in some aspects related to migraine. Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of a manual therapy protocol based on articulatory techniques in pain intensity, frequency of episodes, migraine disability, quality of life, medication intake and self-reported perceived change after treatment in migraine patients. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: Fifty individuals with migraine were randomized into the experimental group, which received manual therapy based on articulatory techniques (n = 25), or the placebo group (n …
