Mūsdienu sociālo problēmu attainojums Kameronas Geretas romānā „Off the Record”
2022
Šajā darbā aplūkotas mūsdienu sociālās problēmas, kas saistītas ir seksuālo vardarbību un seksismu, un atspoguļotas Kameronas Geretas 2021. gadā sarakstītajā romānā "Off the Record". Romāna pamatā ir #MeToo - kustība pret seksuālo vardarbību un uzmākšanos, kurā no vardarbības cietušās personas bezbailīgi dalās savā pieredzē, izmantojot sociālās platformas. Pētījumā tiek analizēts šo problēmu atainojums #MeToo kustības kontekstā. Dati apkopoti izmantojot romānu un #MeToo sociālās kustības gadījuma izpēti. Šajā darbā izmantota stāstījuma analīze, kurā pierādījumi no literatūras tiek izmantota kā primārie dati. Pētījumā izmantota kvalitatīvā pētījumu metode, kurā autors veicis dziļo lasīšanu u…
Motor action execution in reaction-time movements : Magnetoencephalographic study
2019
OBJECTIVE: Reaction-time movements are internally planned in the brain. Presumably, proactive control in reaction-time movements appears as an inhibitory phase preceding movement execution. We identified the brain activity of reaction-time movements in close proximity to movement onset and compared it with similar self-paced voluntary movements without external command. DESIGN: We recorded 18 healthy participants performing reaction-time and self-paced fast index finger abductions with 306-sensor magnetoencephalography and electromyography. Reaction-time movements were performed as responses to cutaneous electrical stimulation delivered on the hand radial nerve area. Motor field and movemen…
Anticipatory Postural Adjustments and kinematic arm features when postural stability is manipulated
2018
International audience; Beyond the classical paradigm that presents the Anticipatory Postural Adjustments (APAs) as a manner to create forces that counteract disturbances arising from the moving segment during a pointing task, there is a controversial discussion about the role APAs to facilitate the movement and perform a task accurately. In addition, arm kinematics features are classically used to infer the content of motor planning for the execution and the control of arm movements, The present study aimed to disentangle the conflicting role of APAs during an arm-pointing task in which the subjects reach a central diode that suddenly turns on, while their postural stability was manipulate…
The impact of store atmospherics and store layout on customer behavior in a hardware store retail setting : case: do-it-yourself store
2015
Comprehensive apprehension of retail establishment’s atmosphere’s effects on its cus-tomers’ overall perceptions of the store and thus purchasing behavior is an essential goal for any retailer, yet the previous marketing literature has converged on understanding the shopping environments of mostly malls, grocery stores, furniture stores and clothing stores. A window was left open for construing a wholly different shopping environment; DIY (do-it-yourself)/ hardware/ home improvement store. Shopping environment studies rely largely on environmental psychology theories in their attempts of deciphering the effects of environment on individuals. This study is fundamentally similar in nature, by…
Rhythmic Memory Consolidation in the Hippocampus
2022
Functions of the brain and body are oscillatory in nature and organized according to a logarithmic scale. Brain oscillations and bodily functions such as respiration and heartbeat appear nested within each other and coupled together either based on phase or based on phase and amplitude. This facilitates communication in wide-spread neuronal networks and probably also between the body and the brain. It is a widely accepted view, that nested electrophysiological brain oscillations involving the neocortex, thalamus, and the hippocampus form the basis of memory consolidation. This applies especially to declarative memories, that is, memories of life events, for example. Here, we present our vie…
HIGH-RESOLUTION SEISMIC SURVEY IN THE WESTERN CALABRIA AND EASTERN SICILY OFFSHORE: IMPLICATIONS WITH VERTICAL TECTONICS
2016
High-resolution seismic data acquired along the continental shelf/upper slope offshore of Capo Vaticano (western Calabria), Milazzo Promontory and Mt. Etna (eastern Sicily) allow to provide new insights on vertical mobility related to active tectonics. A number of depositional sequences bounded by unconformities or correlative para-conformities were recognized on Sparker profiles in the first 200-300 m below the sea-floor. The most recent sequence overlays a widespread erosional surface that ostensibly formed during the sea level stillstand of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), whereas a stack of depositional sequences, which are interpreted as representing the falling and low-stand systems tr…
Ruch kobiecy w Bośni i Hercegowinie po Dayton oraz jego wpływ na pisarstwo kobiet
2018
The paper discusses the presence of the women's movement in Bośnia and Herzegovina after the Dayton Peace Agreement. The main purpose of the article is to find an answer to the question how feminism after the disintegration of Yugoslavia was developed in Bośnia. During the war and after 1995 there were a number of women's anti-war organizations, which often did not define themselves as a feminist, but in fact were. There are numerous publications presenting the achievements of women especially active in public life. At the same time, academic feminism developed. Ali these events have strengthened the awareness of women in Bośnia and also reflect Bosnian literary writers. There are many inte…
Modele eklezjalnej jedności chrześcijan
2018
Dla rozwoju ruchu ekumenicznego potrzeba modeli określających możliwości jednoczenia się chrześcijan. Dialogi ekumeniczne pokazują, że w prawie każdym Kościele chrześcijańskim wyobrażenia o jedności są różne. Z problemem braku jednej wizji jedności łączy się drugi – brak jednego pojęcia Kościoła, a przynajmniej brak takiego jego rozumienia, które byłoby akceptowane przez wszystkich chrześcijan. Trzeci problem związany jest z dwoma poprzednimi i dotyczy ekumenicznej hermeneutyki, która jest uzależniona od różnych eklezjalnych modeli jedności. Wyznaniowe uwarunkowania sprawiają, że inną wizję jedności mają prawosławni, inną protestanci, a jeszcze inną katolicy. Artykuł prezentuje głównie w op…
Regulation of motility of cells from marine sponges by calcium ions
1996
Sponges are known not to contain muscle and nerve cells. Since sponge cells are characterized by high motility we determined the effect of intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) on their motility. Addition of the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin to dissociated cells from the marine sponge Suberites domuncula caused in Ca(2+)-containing artificial seawater (ASW) an increase in motility from 0.2 micron/min (absence of the ionophore) to 3.7 microns/min (presence of ionomycin). When the experiments were performed in Ca(2+)-free medium, no effect of ionomycin could be observed. In parallel experiments the changes of [Ca2+]i using the dye Fura-2 were measured. The experiments revealed that ion…
