Disrupting neural activity related to awake-state sharp wave-ripple complexes prevents hippocampal learning
2012
Oscillations in hippocampal local-field potentials (LFPs) reflect the crucial involvement of the hippocampus in memory trace formation: theta (4–8 Hz) oscillations and ripples (~200 Hz) occurring during sharp waves are thought to mediate encoding and consolidation, respectively. During sharp wave-ripple complexes (SPW-Rs), hippocampal cell firing closely follows the pattern that took place during the initial experience, most likely reflecting replay of that event. Disrupting hippocampal ripples using electrical stimulation either during training in awake animals or during sleep after training retards spatial learning. Here, adult rabbits were trained in trace eyeblink conditioning, a hippoc…
Znamienici profesorowie i absolwenci królewskich katolickich seminariów nauczycielskich w Pilchowicach i Pyskowicach
2018
Royal Catholic Teacher Seminars, which fist appeared at the beginning of the 19th century as a result of Prussian educational reform, took on an important mission of training future organists. Therefore in many Silesian parishes of the 19th and the fist half of the 20th centuries it was a common practice for teachers to be organists at the same time. As it is shown by the experiences of Upper Silesia, teacher seminars were the source of highly qualifid church musicians. This resulted from the commitment of very good and skilful music teachers who produced remarkable graduates that later became important fiures in Silesian tradition of church music. Among teacher seminars of Upper Silesia th…
Beyond Representative Democracy: Real Democracy and Social Movements in the Spanish State
2017
Los procesos participativos son un elemento central en los debates teóricos sobre la calidad de la democracia y sus actuales procesos de transformación. Si en los análisis teóricos se problematiza el objetivo de la participación, las dificultades aumentan al analizar experiencias concretas que buscan articular las dinámicas de la participación con la profundización de la democracia. Reflexionamos sobre la cuestión a partir de Jesús Ibáñez. En primer lugar, se aborda el tema de la crisis de la democracia liberal y los problemas que ésta acarrea para legitimar una democracia incapaz de contrarrestar la hegemonía de los mercados. A continuación, analizamos el resurgimiento de un tipo de democr…
Patriotyzm i służba w działalności Heleny Radlińskiej podczas II wojny światowej (1939-1944)
2018
Helena Radlińska była zasłużoną bohaterką “drugiej linii” podczas drugiej wojny światowej. Jej działalność była bardzo ważna dla cywilnego i wojskowego konspiracyjnego ruchu podziemnego. Organizowała konspiracyjne formy edukacyjne dla młodzieży i dorosłych, jak w szczególności kursy nauczycielskie, studia społeczne, kursy „mazurskie”. Wspomagała patriotyczną działalność wydawniczą, prowadziła badania naukowe, tworzyła i koordynowała sieci podziemnych powiązań społecznych. Była jednym z polskich pedagogów, którzy wpisali się w chwalebną służbę narodowowyzwoleńczą podczas drugiej wojny światowej. Słowa kluczowe: Helena Radlińska, druga wojna światowa, pedagogika społeczna, badania społeczno-h…
STATBOX Concept for Simulation of Urban Phenomena
2013
Abstract An urban environment is a dynamic system which is constantly changing in terms of space and time. There are two dimensions in any urban environment – the physical dimension and the functional dimension. All of the structures of an urban environment interact and people are the intermediaries in this process. The spatial structure of cities has been studied from various perspectives by architects, urban planners, environmental scientists, economists, geographers etc. Constant monitoring that is based on remote sensing, spatial statistics, simulation etc., is needed to make on going note of transformation in the various types of land use that exist, movement of people and business env…
On Happy Dance : Emotion Recognition in Dance Movements
2013
Movements are capable of conveying emotions, as shown for instance in studies on both non-verbal gestures and music-specific movements performed by instrumentalists or professional dancers. Since dancing/moving to music is a common human activity, this study aims at investigating whether quasi-spontaneous music-induced movements of non-professional dancers can convey emotional qualities as well. From a movement data pool of 60 individuals dancing to 30 musical stimuli, the performances of four dancers that moved most notably, and four stimuli representing happiness, anger, sadness, and tenderness were chosen to create a set of stimuli containing the four audio excerpts, 16 video excerpts (w…
Personality traits correlate with characteristics of music-induced movement
2009
Individual factors such as personality are essential for understanding musical experiences and engagement with music. Personality has been shown to be related to musical preferences and experiences, but little is known about how it affects music-related movement. The current study examined whether personality traits were related to the way in which people moved spontaneously to music. Twenty young adults (7 males, and 13 females, mean age 24.0 years) were asked to move spontaneously to a 12 bar blues sequence, and their movements were tracked with an optical motion capture system. Movement was measured with 16 variables which assessed the amount and type of movements exhibited, such as spee…
Meeting the 24-h movement guidelines and health-related outcomes among youth with autism spectrum disorder: a seven-country observational study
2023
Abstract Background Meeting daily guidelines for physical activity, screen time, and sleep duration is associated with a host of health indicators for youth. In this cross-sectional observational study, we investigated the associations between adherence to the movement guidelines and health-related outcomes among youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods Parents of youth with ASD (10–17 years) from seven countries and regions were invited to provide online proxy-reports for child’s movement behaviors (i.e., physical activity, sleep and screen time), and health-related outcomes (i.e., body mass index [BMI], general health, and quality of life). A series of multiple linear regression…
Podręcznik do nauki śpiewu Gesanglehre Bernharda Kothego (1821–1897)
2020
Singing is recognized as the most primary form of human contact with music. This art is an important element of the development,education and upbringing of the young generation. Inviting a child to the world of music lies first with the parent and then with the teacher. The popularity of various types of textbooks, songbooks or guidebooks indicates a great interest in music education. Although singing cannot be learned from a book, such studies are a great help. The author of the textbook Gesanglehre guided the idea of introducing the child to the world of music and showing the right ways of making music. This position was developed by Bernhard Kothe in 1872, and later perfected it in subse…
Eläinten puolustajat : suomalaisen eläinoikeusaktivismin muuttuva poliittinen tyyli ja toiseus
2016
This study examines animal rights activism in Finland. Since 1995, when the first public acts of animal liberation in Finland took place, animal rights activists have made up one of the most debated Finnish social movements. In this research, I study animal rights activism as a phenomenon and as a form of political action. The study approaches the issue by applying the concepts of political style and cultural othering as analytical tools. The study is empirical and bases its analysis on qualitative methodology, especially content analysis. I interviewed activists in 2000-2002 and again in 2015. I have also done observation at demonstrations as well as some campaign analysis. In the five art…
