Influence of Perceptual and Conceptual Information on Fear Generalization : A Behavioral and Event-Related Potential Study

2021

Learned fear can be generalized through both perceptual and conceptual information. This study investigated how perceptual and conceptual similarities influence this generalization process. Twenty-three healthy volunteers completed a fear-generalization test as brain activity was recorded in the form of event-related potentials (ERPs). Participants were exposed to a de novo fear acquisition paradigm with four categories of conditioned stimuli (CS): two conceptual cues (animals and furniture); and two perceptual cues (blue and purple shapes). Animals (C+) and purple shapes (P+) were paired with the unconditioned stimulus (US), whereas furniture (C−) and blue shapes (P−) never were. The gener…

language and law in international business law

2009

The relationship between language and law is clearly apparent in international organizations. More specifically, international commercial relations show a field of analysis still remains wide clearing. The choice of language is very widely, in international trade, depending on the wish of the parties. The question of free choice is central to the study of the relationship between language and law. But the choice of language is often done without consideration of legal risks, particularly the consequences as regards the implementation and interpretation of the contract. The language issue is generally treated only as incidental, accidental, although it is necessary to comply with a certain n…

Verfassungseid ou Führereid pour les militaires ?Une polémique de deux historiens nationaux-socialistes, Reinhard Höhn et Ernst Rudolf Huber, concern…

2021

La question du serment s’avère essentielle pour les libéraux du Vormärz, c’est-à-dire la période de 1830 à 1848. Les libéraux en Allemagne envisagent d’intégrer les armées allemandes dans un système de monarchie constitutionnelle et non plus « absolutiste ». Les militaires devaient-ils prêter serment sur la constitution, et non plus sur le prince ? Cent ans plus tard, dans les années 1930 et 1940, le débat du Vormärz a été repris par deux historiens nationaux-socialistes, Reinhard Höhn et Ernst Rudolf Huber. Ce débat historique leur sert d’exemple pour déterminer quelle nature juridique devrait avoir l’État populaire (Volksstaat) nazi avec le Führer comme autorité suprême (question fortemen…

CLIL-opetuksen merkitys elämänkulkujen rakentajana : kahden entisen oppilaan pohdintoja

2017

This article discusses the significance of CLIL education from the students’ perspective. Two former CLIL students, who received extensive English CLIL education in primary school in 1990s, were interviewed during the summer 2016. The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the memories they had of CLIL and how they perceived its influence on their life courses. The interviews were analysed using thematic analysis with a theory-oriented framework. CLIL education had been a highly positive experience to both and they believed it had influenced their life courses pervasively. Due to CLIL, English had become an inherent part of their lives. CLIL had guided their professional choices and…

La superación del naturalismo en Ortega y Gasset

2012

This article explains Ortega y Gasset’s criticism of naturalism and the failure of the naturalistic reason, and also shows his new conception of vital, historical and narrative reason as an alternative paradigm, which is based on the dialectic of the experiences, the creative imagination of the «fantastic animal» and a new vision of life, which comes from Nietzsche, Dilthey and Goethe, and can help to face the challenge of the new naturalism in the context of the current thought.<br><br>Este artículo expone la crítica de Ortega y Gasset al naturalismo y el fracaso de la razón naturalista, y muestra su nueva concepción de la razón vital, histórica y narrativa, como un paradigma a…

Consumers' attitude towards rice cooking processes in Korea, Japan, Thailand and France

2013

UT: 000317947100009; International audience; Concerns and attitudes towards nutrition, health, safety, commodity, and sensory appeal are the factors determining cooking processes in one's everyday life. A picture-word matching task was conducted in order to compare consumer's opinion on seven common rice-cooking processes (rinsing, soaking, adding other kinds of rice, cereals, and beans, brown rice germination, rapid-boiling, pressure-cooking, and steaming) in Korea, Japan, Thailand, and France. The results showed that, in each country, the more familiar a cooking process is, the more it is associated with sensory quality. Pressure-cooking, soaking and rapid-boiling were positively matched …

Pairwise and higher-order measures of brain-heart interactions in children with temporal lobe epilepsy

2022

Abstract Objective. While it is well-known that epilepsy has a clear impact on the activity of both the central nervous system (CNS) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS), its role on the complex interplay between CNS and ANS has not been fully elucidated yet. In this work, pairwise and higher-order predictability measures based on the concepts of Granger Causality (GC) and partial information decomposition (PID) were applied on time series of electroencephalographic (EEG) brain wave amplitude and heart rate variability (HRV) in order to investigate directed brain-heart interactions associated with the occurrence of focal epilepsy. Approach. HRV and the envelopes of δ and α EEG activity re…
