Victors, Vanquished and Neutrals: The Swedish Press and the Nuremberg Trial
2011
After the shock of the ghastly revelations from the liberated concentration camps began to wane in late spring 1945, there was little written on the Nazi genocide in the Swedish press until autumn 1945. As elsewhere, the attention and energies of the newspaper media were directed to covering other tumultuous events of the world. For example, the Swedish press followed closely the developments in its neighbouring countries — not least Finland, which seemed to be on the verge of a Soviet-instigated coup, and therefore caused a lot of anxiety and discussion in the Swedish press. In line with the concept of Nordic Brotherhood, as discussed in Chapter 3, the Swedish press functioned as a channel…
Si esto es un padre
2016
E<span>n la película de László Nemes, El hijo de Saúl (2015), el protagonista encuentra a un niño agonizante que ha sobrevivido a la cámara de gas en el campo de Auschwitz-Birkenau y a quien después un médico de las SS asfixia con sus propias manos. La escena de este asesinato confronta a Saúl (Géza Röhrig) en sus límites como viviente; decide con determinación entonces que este cadáver no se sumará a la maquinaria de muerte que es el campo de exterminio y busca desesperadamente un rabino para enterrarlo. Este artículo analiza la enigmática obstinación de este personaje en relación con los límites de la vida humana que puso en juego el nazismo y con los límites visuales de la represen…
Nigral influence on focal epilepsy.
1990
The substantia nigra (SN) has been proposed as a structure involved in epileptiform phenomena. Previous investigations demonstrated that SN is able to elicit hippocampal rhythmic slow activity (RSA) as well as to inhibit hippocampal interictal spikes induced by parenteral administration of penicillin. The present series of experiments was carried out in order to characterize the action of SN on a focal model of hippocampal epilepsy. Experiments were performed on encephale isole cats in which steady epileptiform activity was induced by locally applied penicillin. Electrical stimulation of SN pars reticulata (pr) caused a statistically significant decrease of hippocampal spike frequency and a…
A study of caudate inhibition on an epileptic focus in the cat hippocampus
1988
The mechanisms whereby the caudate nucleus modifies hippocampal spiking activity have been studied. Epileptiform activity was induced in the cat hippocampus by topical application of sodium penicillin in different concentrations. The frequency of induced spikes appeared to be directly correlated to the two doses of epileptogenic agent. The inhibitory effect of 10 Hz caudate stimulation on spike frequency was present even when stimulation lasted for 180 s. Likewise 25 Hz caudate stimulation brought about an inhibition which was maintained by stimulus trains lasting up to 90 s, while the degree of inhibition was reduced by trains of longer duration (120, 150 and 180 s); similar results were a…
Negative occurrence between hippocampal rhythmic slow activity and epileptiform spikes: Influence of the striatum
1986
AbstractThe effects of caudate and septal stimulation on hippocampal activity were studied. Sodium penicillin was intravenously injected in order to induce a steady rate of in-terictal epileptic activity. Penicillin injection caused significant reduction of the rate of occurrence and duration of hippocampal rhythmic slow activity (RSA). Spontaneous RSA as well as RSA-eliciting caudate and septal stimulation induced a marked inhibition on frequency of epileptiform complexes. Lesions of the medial septal nucleus made it impossible to record RSA or to observe any sort of influence on hippocampal epileptiform activity by caudate stimulation. This result suggests that the septum is important for…
Co-Design of an Online Campaign for an Inclusive Community: Languages, Images and Participation
2022
This volume shows how communication matters in building our perception and imaginary about groups of people that are different form “us”. The difference between “us” and “others” is totally cultural and represents an obstacle to integration. To avoid the extreme effects of radicalisation, we can promote social campaigns based on two important features: participation and awareness about (counter-)narratives. This book discusses the good practices built in the European project Oltre, devoted to preventing the radicalisation in second generation Muslim youth. It will serve to push the reader beyond common sense and prejudice, towards the future citizenship of Italy, Europe and the whole world.
Grey matter microstructural alterations in schizophrenia patients with treatment-resistant auditory verbal hallucinations.
2021
Treatment-resistant auditory verbal hallucinations (TRAVH) are a relatively prevalent and devastating symptom in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ). Even though their pathological mechanisms are poorly understood, they seem to differ from those underlying non-hallucinating SCZ.& nbsp; In this study, we characterise structural brain changes in SCZ patients with TRAVH. With respect to nonhallucinating patients and healthy controls, we studied macrostructural grey matter changes through cortical thickness and subcortical volumetric data. Additionally, we analysed microstructural differences across groups using intracortical and subcortical mean diffusivity data. This latter imaging metric has b…
The oscillatory profile induced by the anxiogenic drug fg-7142 in the amygdala-hippocampal network is reversed by infralimbic deep brain stimulation:…
2021
Anxiety and depression exhibit high comorbidity and share the alteration of the amygdala-hippocampal-prefrontal network, playing different roles in the ventral and dorsal hippocampi. Deep brain stimulation of the infralimbic cortex in rodents or the human equivalent-the subgenual cingulate cortex-constitutes a fast antidepressant treatment. The aim of this work was: (1) to describe the oscillatory profile in a rodent model of anxiety, and (2) to deepen the therapeutic basis of infralimbic deep brain stimulation in mood disorders. First, the anxiogenic drug FG-7142 was administered to anaesthetized rats to characterize neural oscillations within the amygdala and the dorsoventral axis of the …
