Research data supporting "Social information use about novel aposematic prey is not influenced by a predator’s previous experience with toxins"
2019
This data is from the experiment investigating social avoidance learning in wild-caught great tits, conducted at Konnevesi Research Station in Central Finland during winter 2017. Sheet 1 (���main data���) contains data from the main avoidance learning experiment, including individual attributes (sex, age, weight etc.), experimental treatments and individuals��� foraging choices in the learning trials. Sheet 2 (���preference test���) contains data from the initial preference test of the symbols that were used in the experiment, and Sheet 3 (���visibility test���) data from the initial visibility test of the same symbols.
Renē Žirāra sociālā modeļa atspoguļojums Latvijas garīdznieku publiskajos izteikumos
2016
Renē Žirārs (René Girard) ir atklājis pasaulei visaptverošu sociālo modeli, kurš skaidro, ka cilvēks nav autentiska būtne, bet visu ir aizguvis no kāda cita. Cilvēks vienmēr imitē citus, savus modeļus, iekārojot to, ko iekāro viņa modelis. Šajā iekāres procesā rodas sāncensība, jo visiem nav iespējams iegūt vienu un to pašu objektu. Sāncensība noved pie vardarbības, lai tā tiktu kontrolēta un atrisināta, tiek izraudzīts viens grēkāzis, kuram jāuzņemas pilna vaina par izveidojušos situāciju. Iekāre un atdarināšana ir pamatā visiem konfliktiem sabiedrībā. Izprotot Žirāra modeli, iespējams labāk veidot citādas attiecības, tādas, kurās nav vietas vardarbībai, bet ir savstarpēja sapratne, cieņa …
Comment on “Crystallographic Snapshot of an Arrested Intermediate in the Biomimetic Activation of CO2”
2015
Out of focus: A recent Communication published in this journal describes the synthesis of [nBu4 N]HCO3 . The authors performed a single-crystal X-ray study that revealed a putative species described as an incipient hydroxide ion engaging in a long, and presumably weak, interaction with CO2 . Our recent exploration of the coordination chemistry of CO2 with small ions leads us to believe that such an exceptional bonding situation is unlikely. Instead, we argue that the crystal structure is that of [nBu4 N]O2 CCH3 and therefore not representative of the bulk powder from the synthesis.
Hetkinen! Ei kai se vain ollut Minuuttivalssi? : pianistien nuottikuvasta tekemät nopeat päätelmät
2016
Tässä maisterintutkielmassa selvitettiin, millaisia havaintoja eksperttitason pianistit pystyvät tekemään 500 ms:n aikana nuottikuvasta. Aineiston keruuta varten suunniteltiin nuotinlukukoe, jossa koehenkilöille esitettiin yhteensä yhdeksän kolmen rivin mittaista katkelmaa kolmelta eri tyylikaudelta (barokki, klassismi ja romantiikka) peräisin olevista pianoteoksista. Jokaisen näytteen jälkeen koehenkilöt saivat kuvailla omin sanoin tekemiään havaintoja. Lisäksi he esittivät arvion kunkin teoksen edustamasta tyylikaudesta. Kokeeseen osallistui 25 eksperttitason pianistia, joista 4 henkilöä oli suorittanut musiikin ylemmän korkea-koulututkinnon, 11 alemman korkeakoulututkinnon, 8 opiskeli pa…
Bidirectional cell-matrix interaction dictates neuronal network formation in a brain-mimetic 3D scaffold
2022
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) derived neurons are emerging as a powerful tool for studying neurobiology, disease pathology, and modeling. Due to the lack of platforms available for housing and growing hPSC-derived neurons, a pressing need exists to tailor a brain-mimetic 3D scaffold that recapitulates tissue composition and favourably regulates neuronal network formation. Despite the progress in engineering biomimetic scaffolds, an ideal brain-mimetic scaffold is still elusive. We bioengineered a physiologically relevant 3D scaffold by integrating brain-like extracellular matrix (ECM) components and chemical cues. Culturing hPSCs-neurons in hyaluronic acid (HA) gels and HA-chondroitin…
Salt release monitoring with specific sensors in "in vitro" oral and digestive environments from soft cheeses
2012
International audience; The objective of the present work is to demonstrate the interest and the feasibility of the measurement of NaCl concentrations in soft cheeses and in particular an in vitro digestion process by the use of chemical sensors. The analyzed matrices were the commercial Italian mozzarella cheeses and domestic cheese base models. The classification of mozzarellas was performed according to their salinity, while the breakdown of cheese base models has been followed both at initial steps of digestion in artificial mouth dispositive mimicking the oral sphere and in a gut-imitating digester (TIM-1). During the breakdown of soft cheese in the digester, the estimated values for N…
Synthesis and preliminary in vivo evaluation of well-dispersed biomimetic nanocrystalline apatites labeled with positron emission tomographic imaging…
2015
In recent years, biomimetic synthetic apatite nanoparticles (AP-NPs), having chemical similarity with the mineral phase of bone, have attracted a great interest in nanomedicine as potential drug carriers. To evaluate the therapeutic perspectives of AP-NPs through the mechanisms of action and organs they interact with, the noninvasive monitoring of their in vivo behavior is of paramount importance. To this aim, here the feasibility to radiolabel AP-NPs ("naked" and surface-modified with citrate to reduce their aggregation) with two positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging agents ([F-18]NaF and Ga-68-NO(2)AP(BP)) was investigated. [F-18]NaF was used for the direct incorporation of the radi…
Que tenga el honor mil ojos. Los dramas de honra de Calderón de la Barca a la luz de la teoría mimética de Réné Girard.
2017
El presente trabajo analiza los tres dramas de la honra conyugal de Calderón de la Barca (a saber, El médico de su honra, A secreto agravio secreta venganza y El pintor de su deshonra) desde los postulados del antropólogo cultural Réné Girard. Las principales teorías de este autor difícilmente clasificable versan sobre el deseo y la violencia pero nacen y han sido aplicadas, básicamente, en el ámbito de los textos literarios canónicos. Consideramos que este punto de vista puede iluminar considerablemente estas crípticas obras sobre las que la crítica ha debatido profusamente sin llegar a consensos claros en lo tocante a su recepción e interpretación. Así, los aspectos más controvertidos de …
Kalevalan naiset ja tiedon yöpuoli : Lönnrotin jalanjäljissä kohti Kalevalan naisten tarinoita
2017
My dissertation deals with the most important female figures of the Finnish national epic New Kalevala (1849): Aino, Louhi, Lemminkäinen’s mother and Marjatta. The epic was compiled by Elias Lönnrot (1802–1884) from Karelian and Finnish oral folklore. My reading leans on the intuitive night side of knowledge, which Lönnrot (1832) introduced as a counterpart to the day side of rational knowledge. To illustrate the logic of the night side of knowledge, I analyse Lönnrot as both a collector of oral folklore and a compiler of a work of epic poetry. I propose that Lönnrot’s choice of presenting the Kalevala as an epic – a total work of art – provided the stories of its female characters with the…
Cognitive Mimetics for AI Ethics : Tacit Knowledge, Action Ontologies and Problem Restructuring
2020
Ethics and ethical information processing are an important problem for AI development. It is important for self-evident reasons, but also challenging in its’ implications and should be welcomed by designers and developers as an interesting technical challenge. This article explores AI ethics as a design problem and lays out how cognitive mimetics could be used a method for its design. AI ethics is conceptualized as a problem of implementation on the one hand, and as a problem of ethical contents on the other. From the viewpoint of human information processing, ethics becomes a special case of ethical information processing - one that has deep implications in terms of AI abilities and inform…
