The Human and Non-human Interconnectedness in Three Chinese Contemporary Artists
2021
Today, we live in an era known as the Anthropo cene. The interconnectedness between humans and other living entities and environments is an essential part of the theme of the Anthropocene and a central concern in contemporary culture and art. Through the emphasis of the role of non human agents, new materialism and posthuman ism radically problematize the binaries of sub ject/object, human/nonhuman, cultural/natural, and mind/body, and challenge the superiority of the human. Although both Chinese and Western scholars widely acknowledge that Chinese tradi tional culture and art are deeply based on less anthropocentric modes of thinking, the contem porary Chinese artists’ expression of the in…
Parietal Cortex Connectivity as a Marker of Shift in Spatial Attention Following Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation
2021
Non-invasive brain stimulation is a useful tool to probe brain function and provide therapeutic treatments in disease. When applied to the right posterior parietal cortex (PPC) of healthy participants, it is possible to temporarily shift spatial attention and mimic symptoms of spatial neglect. However, the field of brain stimulation is plagued by issues of high response variability. The aim of this study was to investigate baseline functional connectivity as a predictor of response to an inhibitory brain stimulation paradigm applied to the right PPC. In fourteen healthy adults (9 female, aged 24.8 ± 4.0 years) we applied continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) to suppress activity in the …
Neural Classification of Compost Maturity by Means of the Self-Organising Feature Map Artificial Neural Network and Learning Vector Quantization Algo…
2019
Self-Organising Feature Map (SOFM) neural models and the Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) algorithm were used to produce a classifier identifying the quality classes of compost, according to the degree of its maturation within a period of time recorded in digital images. Digital images of compost at different stages of maturation were taken in a laboratory. They were used to generate an SOFM neural topological map with centres of concentration of the classified cases. The radial neurons on the map were adequately labelled to represent five suggested quality classes describing the degree of maturation of the composted organic matter. This enabled the creation of a neural separator classify…
Criteri per l’analisi post-danno – Criteria for post-damage analysis.
2010
Gli elementi non-strutturali risultano assai più vulnerabili al sisma delle strutture, così come reso evidente dai terremoti che nell’ultimo decennio hanno colpito il nostro paese. Il danneggiamento di tali elementi, oltre a mettere a serio rischio la sicurezza degli edifici, e dunque l’incolumità, spesso rende diseconomici, disagevoli o addirittura impraticabili gli interventi di riparazione degli edifici. Ciò anche quando questi sono a struttura intelaiata e progettati e realizzati con criteri antisismici e le strutture non hanno subito danni di rilievo. D’altronde il comportamento sismico degli elementi non strutturali è stato lungamente trascurato e dall’analisi dello stato dell’arte in…
Seismic prevention and rahabilitation of nonstructural elements. Criteria to define a post-seismic damage analysis procedure
2012
It reports very briefly the research work, developed by the author during her Doctorate course, about a post-seismic damage analysis procedure for nonstructural elements of framed structure building systems
Evolutionity - A New Age of Humanity: On the Concept of Human Evolutiuon by Hoene-Wroński
2018
W artykule przedstawiam koncepcję ewolucji ludzkości Józefa Hoene-Wrońskiego. Staram się pokazać, że idee autora Metapolityki są dla nas nadal aktualne i mogą nam pomóc lepiej zrozumieć ludzką ewolucję i nasze przeznaczenie.W swoich pismach Hoene-Wroński odważnie podważył wyłaniający się z nauki nowożytnej deterministyczny obraz świata oraz wyprowadził ludzką ewolucję z rozwoju moralnego i rozumowego człowieka. Analizuję siedem etapów ewolucji, jakie przedstawia. Twierdzę, że jego koncepcja ewolucji ludzkości znajduje poparcie w nowych teoriach naukowych, zwłaszcza w teorii kwantów oraz nowych perspektywach myśli, które otwiera. Kończę mój artykuł wnioskiem, że idee związane z ewolucją ludz…
Comprehensive analysis of interacting proteins and genome-wide location studies of the Sas3-dependent NuA3 histone acetyltransferase complex
2014
Highlights • We characterise Sas3p and Gcn5p active HAT complexes in WT and deleted TAP-strains. • We confirm that Pdp3p interacts with NuA3, histones and chromatin regulators. • Pdp3p MS-analysis reveals its phosphorylation, ubiquitination and methylation. • Sas3p can substitute Gcn5p in acetylation of histone H3K14 but not of H3K9. • Genome-wide profiling of Sas3p supports its involvement in transcriptional elongation.
Real-Time Processes of Career Goal Construction : A Study Case Approach with Implications for the Development of Adolescents’ Identity
2022
The study aimed at investigating how different young people going through the post-high school transition set, monitor, pursue, and renegotiate career goals in real-time and in everyday life circumstances. A theoretically driven proposition supported the conceptualization of career goals as complex dynamic systems and guided the examination and description of the moment-to-moment processes shaping the (re)construction of career goals. The study adopted an exploratory research approach and was based on a longitudinal case study design. Diary reports were collected for 39 weeks. Participants were four young people (three females, one male) who at the onset of the study were 18 years of age an…
The corticotrophin-releasing factor/urocortin system regulates white fat browning in mice through paracrine mechanisms.
2015
Objectives:\ud The corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF)/urocortin system is expressed in the adipose tissue of mammals, but its functional role in this tissue remains unknown.\ud \ud Methods:\ud Pharmacological manipulation of the activity of CRF receptors, CRF1 and CRF2, was performed in 3T3L1 white pre-adipocytes and T37i brown pre-adipocytes during in vitro differentiation. The expression of genes of the CRF/urocortin system and of markers of white and brown adipocytes was evaluated along with mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular oxygen consumption. Metabolic evaluation of corticosterone-deficient or supplemented Crhr1-null (Crhr1−/−) mice and their wild-type controls was performed alo…
