LTV1 pētnieciskās žurnālistikas raidījums "Aizliegtais paņēmiens": mediju un auditorijas dienaskārtības salīdzinājums un auditorijas vajadzību izpēte
2016
Bakalaura darba tēma ir „LTV1 pētnieciskās žurnālistikas raidījums “Aizliegtais paņēmiens”: mediju un auditorijas dienaskārtības salīdzinājums un auditorijas vajadzību izpēte”. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādas auditorijas vajadzības apmierina raidījums un salīdzināt auditorijai svarīgās problēmas ar raidījuma veidotāju priekšstatiem. Darba teorētiskajā daļā iekļauta literatūra par pētniecisko žurnālistiku, sabiedriskajiem medijiem, dienaskārtības teoriju un mediju auditorijas veidiem, kā arī mediju lietojuma un apmierinājuma teoriju un gaidu un vērtību teoriju. Darbā izmantotās metodes ir daļēji strukturētā intervija, anketēšana un fokusa grupas diskusija. Empīriskajā daļā izklāstīti inter…
Forme in scena
2010
L’architettura delle sale teatrali stabilisce una filiera naturale con lo spazio scenico, i tipi teatrali e la loro messa in scena non solo come successione materiale dello spazio e nel tempo ma soprattutto come relazione interna ai contenuti e ai modi esecutivi che ognuna di queste entità sviluppa in sequenza con le altre. Si viene così a creare un rapporto continuo di “progressive accoglienze” tra un sistema ospitante e il suo contenuto,tanto che ogni entità porta il rapporto forma-funzione a predisporre e determinare l’oggetto che ospita più che a palesare la sola rappresentazione di se stesso. Il volume affronta lo studio di tale consequenzialità attraverso le riflessioni e le esperienz…
Response to Skeide and Friederici: The myth of the uniquely human “direct” dorsal pathway
2015
In their comment on our recent article [1], Skeide and Friederici [2] claim ‘that some important data not discussed by Bornkessel-Schlesewsky et al. strongly support the view that there are clear qualitative, and not merely quantitative, differences between [human and nonhuman primate] species with respect to both the intrinsic functional connectivity of frontal and temporal cortices, and their direct structural connection via a dorsal white matter fiber tract.’ This obviously refers to work by Friederici and colleagues [3] emphasizing the functional importance of a direct connection between the posterior superior temporal cortex (pSTC) and Brodmann area (BA) 44 in humans, and its absence i…
The Time Course of Emotional Responses to Music
2005
Two empirical studies investigate the time course of emotional responses to music. In the first one, musically trained and untrained listeners were required to listen to 27 musical excerpts and to group those that conveyed a similar emotional meaning. In one condition, the excerpts were 25 seconds long on average. In the other condition, excerpts were as short as 1 second. The groupings were then transformed into a matrix of emotional dissimilarity that was analyzed with multidimensional scaling methods (MDS). We compared the outcome of these analyses for the 25-s and 1-s duration conditions. In the second study, we presented musical excerpts of increasing duration, varying from 250 to 20 s…
Audiologic profile of OSAS and simple snoring patients: the effect of chronic nocturnal intermittent hypoxia on auditory function
2016
The objective of this work was to study the effect of nocturnal intermittent hypoxia on auditory function of simple snoring patients and subjects affected by OSAS; we compared the audiologic profile with the severity of OSAS to detect early signs of cochlear damage. One hundred-sixty patients underwent overnight polysomnography, micro-otoscopy, multi-frequency audiometry, acufenometry, TEOAE recording and d-ROMs test. All subjects were divided in four groups, based on presence/absence of AHI (simple snoring without OSAS, mild OSAS, moderate OSAS, severe OSAS). Sixty (37.5 %) patients were not affected by OSAS, 58 (36.25 %) presented a mild OSAS, 18 (11.25 %) a moderate OSAS and 24 (15 %) a …
Wearing glasses to hear differently? Aftereffects of visuomanual prismatic adaptation on auditory perception
2022
Sensorimotor plasticity is defined as the ability to produce an appropriate motor response face to environmental or bodily changes. The classical experimental paradigm to study sensorimotor plasticity is prism adaptation, which consists of pointing to visual targets while wearing prisms that shift the visual field laterally or vertically. Its aftereffects are not restricted to sensorimotor behavior but extend to sensorial modalities not directly involved during prism exposition, such as audition. There exists a mental representation of auditory frequencies in which low auditory frequencies are associated with the left part of space and high auditory frequencies with the right part of space.…
Rapid nucleus-scale reorganization of chromatin in neurons enables transcriptional adaptation for memory consolidation
2020
AbstractThe interphase nucleus is functionally organized in active and repressed territories defining the transcriptional status of the cell. However, it remains poorly understood how the nuclear architecture of neurons adapts in response to behaviorally relevant stimuli that trigger fast alterations in gene expression patterns. Imaging of fluorescently tagged nucleosomes revealed that pharmacological manipulation of neuronal activity in vitro and auditory cued fear conditioning in vivo induce nucleus-scale restructuring of chromatin within minutes. Furthermore, the acquisition of auditory fear memory is impaired after infusion of a drug into auditory cortex which blocks chromatin reorganiz…
Practitioner views of goodwill accounting under US GAAP
2020
PurposeAccounting standards for goodwill may intensify the agency conflict. Since auditors evaluate intangible asset valuations, this study examines to what extent being an auditor (including Big 4 auditors) and being female as indicators of professional skepticism and conservatism predict accounting professionals' critical views of goodwill accounting under US GAAP.Design/methodology/approachStatistical analyses of a survey of accounting professionals in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.FindingsThe respondents' views are dispersed from trust in GAAP to views reflecting management opportunism in goodwill accounting. While being an auditor (including Big 4 auditors) does not…
Las Agendas 21 Locales en la Provincia de Valencia: Análisis de los municipios firmantes de la Carta de Xàtiva
2015
Los problemas medioambientales se han ido incrementando hasta adquirir dimensiones planetarias. Por lo que se hace necesario buscar la compatibilidad entre el crecimiento y la protección del medio ambiente. En este sentido, en la Conferencia de Naciones Unidas sobre el Medio Ambiente y el Desarrollo, celebrada en Río de Janeiro en 1992, se adquirió el compromiso de establecer políticas acordes con el desarrollo sostenible, a través de la implantación de las Agendas 21 Locales. Este documento reconoció el papel fundamental de las ciudades y pueblos, al considerar que es la unidad más pequeña donde se pueden dar solución a los problemas. El capítulo 28 del Programa 21 recogió la obligación de…
