Abstract:

The author makes several suggestions for how to control the direction taken by an active cognitive process. He proposes a neural/cognitive programming mechanism: traveling waves on cortex. Evidence for traveling waves exists, and interactions of such waves have useful properties. One example is due to Pitts and McCulloch: Why are squares of different sizes seen as examples of squares? If excitation propagates from the corners of a square, waves meet at the diagonals. Squares of different sizes then have a common diagonal representation. Later models include “grassfire models” and “medial axis” models. Experiments suggests that response exists at a “medial axis” halfway between bounding contours, and in this approach “Identity” and “Symmetry” become the same computation. Traveling waves in audition can be used to give the pattern-dependent frequency independent responses seen in some kinds of speech perception.

Full text

Abstract:

Depression and wound healing are bidirectional processes for adults and children consistent with the conception of depression as systemic. This systemic interaction is similar to the “bidirectional impact of mood disorder on risk for development, progression, treatment, and outcomes of medical illness” generally. And, evidence is growing that the bidirectional impact of mood disorder may be true for injuries and for trauma surgery. Animal models have provided some support that treatment of depression may improve wound healing. An established biological model for a mechanism delaying wound healing is increased cortisol secretion secondary to depression and/or stress, and impaired immune response, in addition or together with the other factors such as genetic or epigenetic risk for depression. Cellular models relate both to wound healing and to depression include cytokines, the inflammatory response (Miller et al, 2008), and cellular aging (Telgenhoff and Shroot, 2005) reflected in shorter leukocyte telomere length (LTL) (Verhoeven et al, 2016). Another model of stress impacting wound healing investigated genetic correlates—immediate early gene expression or IEG from the medial prefrontal cortex, and locomotion, in isolation-reared juvenile rats. Levine et al (2008) compared isolation reared to group reared samples, and found that, immediate gene expression in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) was reduced, and behavioral hyperactivity increased, in juvenile rats with 20% burn injuries. Wound healing in the isolation reared rats was significantly impaired. They concluded that these results provide candidates for behavioral biomarkers of isolation rearing during physical injury, i.e. reduced immediate mPFC gene expression and hyperactivity. They suggested that a biomarker such as IEGs might aid in demarcating patients with resilient and adaptive responses to physical illness from those with maladaptive responses

Abstract:

Charles Bell and his wife both had ecclesiastical backgrounds. Like many contemporary scientists, Bell was a creationist who believed in intelligent design. He not only published notes and supplementary dissertations to William Paley’s Natural Theology but also wrote a treatise on Animal Mechanics and a Bridgewater Treatise on The Hand. Natural theology had begun to decline in importance in the 1830s, however, seeming increasingly tired and dated in an era of change. Bell’s anatomical teaching—framed on the concept of intelligent design—was thus overshadowed by the concepts of Buffon, Geoffroy, Lamarck, Robert Grant, and Charles Darwin and by the teachings of younger, more modern professors. Nevertheless, national honors came his way—the Gold (Royal) Medal of the Royal Society for his work on the nervous system and a knighthood in 1831.

Abstract:

Muestra la relación entre la recreación como derecho fundamental del hombre reconocido por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas y el diseño de los espacios dentro de la ciudad. En el caso de México, analiza desde tiempos de la conquista y la colonia las formas de recreación y su relación con la religión, la política, y la búsqueda de la libertad; pasando por la época de la Independencia, la Revolución, hasta llegar al siglo XX, donde a través de las conquistas del tiempo libre se cambió la relación temporal y social de la recreación. En el estudio del México moderno, entre los años 30 y los 60 en la Ciudad de México, la obra señala esperanzas en la libertad del hombre a través del ejercicio de formas de recreación, como el juego colectivo, en la calle, del deporte en su desarrollo inicial masivo después del resurgimiento de los Juegos olímpicos modernos; de las historietas, los medios de comunicación y las bellas artes -con énfasis en la llamada época de oro del cine, la radio, la pintura,- hasta reflexionar en las consecuencias de los hábitos recreacionales actuales y la influencia en el sedentarismo de parte importante de la población.

Abstract:

Temporal lobe epilepsy, as discussed in this chapter, is a focal epilepsy that involves primarily the limbic structures of the medial temporal lobe (amygdala, hippocampus, and entorhinal cortex). In recent years animal models have been developed that mirror the pathology and pathophysiology of this disease. This chapter reviews the human condition, the structural and physiological changes that support the development of seizures. The neural circuitry of seizure initiation will be reviewed with a goal of creating a framework for developing more effective treatments for this disease.

Abstract:

Desde hace unos años, la ciudad de Burgos prepara el VIII Centenario de la colocación de la primera piedra de la Seo burgalesa que culminará en 2021. La presente obra surgió teniendo en cuenta este hito histórico y cultural, por ello incluye un importante volumen de trabajos de investigación que reflejan el gran número de perspectivas desde las que se puede estudiar la Historia Moderna "a la sombra de las catedrales". Para una mejor articulación de la obra, esta se ha dividido en dos secciones. La primera de estas lleva por título "A la sombra de las catedrales: religión, cultura y sociedad" e incluye estudios relacionados con las diversas facetas de la vida de las ciudades catedralicias: religiosidad, de actividad cultural, económica, asistencial, desarrollo de las corporaciones gremiales y las cofradías, etc. La segunda sección "De la Monarquía hispánica de los Austrias a la Monarquía española de los Borbones: riqueza, poder y guerra" contiene estudios relacionados con los debates historiográficos más actuales y, al mismo tiempo un análisis de cuáles fueron los factores necesarios para alcanzar esa posición: los recursos, los medios, los instrumentos para el gobierno de tan vastos dominios (humanos, materiales, religiosos, etc.). La reflexión se extenderá también a todos los cambios que se produjeron en el siglo XVIII tras la llegada de la dinastía Borbón.

Abstract:

Con el auge que han tenido las nuevas tecnologías de la comunicación en años recientes, la crítica y los debates en torno al arte contemporáneo se han desplazado de los medios impresos al Internet. Pensar la escena presenta un conjunto de debates del campo del arte contemporáneo que han tenido lugar en Esfera Pública, portal de discusión en Internet en el que artistas, críticos y curadores han debatido colectivamente sobre la actividad artística, las prácticas institucionales y eventos como salones de arte, bienales, curadurías independientes e institucionales. El libro aborda seis temas sobre los que se ha reflexionado reiteradamente en este foro y que ponen en evidencia problemas de fondo, no solo del arte local sino de la escena internacional: crítica al arte político, el auge y la estandarización de los espacios de artistas, la crítica y el papel de los medios, debates en torno al Salón Nacional de Artistas, la crisis de instituciones como la Galería Santafé y el Museo de Arte Moderno de Bogotá. Pensar la escena ofrece a investigadores, artistas, curadores, docentes, historiadores del arte, estudiantes y público interesado una cartografía crítica del campo del arte contemporáneo en Colombia, a partir de los principales debates y temas de discusión que han tenido lugar entre el 2000 y el 2017 en Esfera Pública.

Abstract:

Illustrations in illustrated editions are rarely theorized as adaptations in the field of adaptation studies. Chapter 27 attempts to redress that oversight by examining the disciplinary practices and medial assumptions that have shaped approaches to illustration and adaptation in their respective fields. Focusing on the manner in which illustration and adaptation have been defined, their engagement of source material, and assumptions related to static and dynamic modes of representation, the essay draws parallels between the fields of illustration and adaptation and proposes a cross-disciplinary approach to adaptation that illuminates common characteristics of adaptation across media and modes and common features across a given work’s adaptation history.

Abstract:

Journalism serves multiple democratic functions identified here as information, investigation, analysis, social empathy, public forum, mobilization, and democratic education. All help make representative democracy a better system than direct democracy and not just an attenuated direct democracy. New thinking in political theory emphasizes this and insists that the agents of representation in modern democracy are not just legislatures but a wide variety of civil society monitors of government, including of course the press, whose role in defining contemporary democracy deserves more attention in the effort to place the news media’s democratic role in perspective. Within this framework, an attempt is made to outline criteria for assessing the adequacy of the news media for serving democracy. These include not only the much studied and counted legal and political guarantees of freedom but also journalistic professionalism and values, diversity of perspectives available in the news system, and access to government information.

Full text

Abstract:

The neuroscience of spatial memory is one of the most promising areas for developing biomimetic solutions to complex engineering challenges. Grid cells are neurons recorded in the medial entorhinal cortex that fire when rats are in an array of locations in the environment falling on the vertices of tightly packed equilateral triangles. Grid cells suggest an exciting new approach for enhancing robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in changing environments and could provide a common map for situational awareness between human and robotic teammates. Current models of grid cells are well suited to robotics, as they utilize input from self-motion and sensory flow similar to inertial sensors and visual odometry in robots. Computational models, supported by in vivo neural activity data, demonstrate how grid cell representations could provide a substrate for goal-directed behavior using hierarchical forward planning that finds novel shortcut trajectories in changing environments.

Full text

Abstract:

Damage to the hippocampus and surrounding regions of the medial temporal lobe can result in a permanent loss of the ability to form new long-term memories. Hippocampal memory prosthesis is designed to restore this ability. The animal model described here is the memory-dependent, delayed nonmatch-to-sample (DNMS) task in rats, and the core of the prosthesis is a biomimetic multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear dynamical model that predicts hippocampal output (CA1) signals based on input (CA3) signals. When hippocampal CA1 function is pharmacologically blocked, successful DNMS behavior is abolished. However, when MIMO model predictions are used to re-instate CA1 memory-related activities with electrical stimulation, successful DNMS behavior and long-term memory function are restored. The hippocampal memory prosthesis has been successfully implemented in rodents and nonhuman primates, but the current system requires major advances before it can approach a working prosthesis. Looking forward, a deeper knowledge of neural coding will provide further insights.

Full text

Abstract:

This book discusses the relationship between media, conflict, and democratization in Africa from the perspective of media ethics. Despite the commonly held view that conflict is a destructive political force that can destabilize democracies, the argument in this book is that while many conflicts can indeed become violent and destructive, they can also be managed in a way that can render them productive and communicative to democracy. Drawing on theoretical insights from the fields of journalism studies, political studies, and cultural studies, the book discusses the ethics of conflict coverage and proposes a normative model for covering conflict and democratization. The book argues for an “ethics of listening” that would enable the media to help de-escalate violent conflict and contribute to the deepening of an agonistic democratic culture in contexts of high inequality, ethnic and racial polarization, and uneven access to media. This argument is illustrated by examples drawn from recent events in African democracies such as student protests, community activism, struggles for resources, and social media conflicts. The book also scrutinizes the media’s ethical roles and responsibilities in African societies by considering questions regarding journalistic professionalism, ethical codes, and regulation in the context of rising misinformation. The book provides a critical African perspective on global debates about media, politics, and democracy and the media’s ethical commitments in contexts of conflict.

Full text

Abstract:

The unified model predicts that a legislative caucus that is ideologically homogeneous, electorally diverse and policy-motivated will empower party leaders to solve the collective action problem of sincere voting. The result will be that legislators incrementally adopt ideologically extreme, electorally suboptimal positions in the policy space. Over the course of the post-World War II period, the party caucuses became more ideologically homogeneous, but retained their electoral diversity, thereby creating the conditions for party government. Legislators from centrist, competitive districts closely tracked their party medians rather than adopting centrist positions, which would have satisfied their constituents. That suggests parties are solving the collective action problem of sincere voting. No other institution is comparably suited to creating that effect, and even the rise of competitive primaries serves as a poor explanation for the phenomenon.

Abstract:

El objeto de estudio de este libro son las familias analizadas desde Villavicencio que es la ciudad colombiana, capital del Meta. Esta ciudad, fundada en 1840, tuvo su mayor desarrollo en la segunda mitad del siglo xx como resultado de migraciones de diversas regiones del país. El mestizaje familiar es un fenómeno que es estudiado a través de tres generaciones desde la década de 1950 hasta la segunda del siglo xxi. Los cambios internos de la estructura familiar, su diversificación, el auge y decaimiento del patriarcalismo, la asimilación de valores modernos llegaron con los medios masivos, la radio y la televisión, y se impulsaron con las nuevas tecnologías. Estos fenómenos dan visibilidad a las transformaciones de las familias que son similares a procesos que se encuentran en otros contextos nacionales e internacionales. La introducción plantea la tesis central y los procedimientos utilizados en su demostración en los seis capítulos del libro.

Full text

Abstract:

Chapter 30 defines transmedia storytelling as a hybrid of adaptation and transfictionality. Like the former, it involves several media; like the latter, it builds a storyworld through multiple narratives. Two types of transmedia storytelling are distinguished: top-down, the deliberate spreading of narrative content across multiple media; and bottom-up, the use of many media to develop a narrative originally conceived as mono-medial. If transmedia is to be a truly new mode of narration, it should proceed top-down, but actual examples are rare. The essay considers what kinds of phenomena can be regarded as transmedia storytelling; what are the relations between transmedia and interactivity; whether transmedia promote collective world creation; and whether the dispersion of content across multiple media is favorable or detrimental to the two basic elements of narrative: plot and storyworld.

Full text

Abstract:

Writing about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, contemporary United States–based poets Mónica de la Torre, Ben Lerner, Philip Metres, Claudia Rankine, Juliana Spahr, and C. D. Wright have repurposed the news media’s logic of juxtaposition and simultaneity and civilian poets’ meta-rhetorical strategies from the 1930s and 1940s. Recent scholarship has not yet attended to how U.S. civilian poets use these strategies to critique war culture in the twenty-first century. This chapter argues that an ethically motivated self-distrust that sees itself seeing has become the prima materia of an important strand of civilian war poetry today. Some contemporary poets use rhetoric to craft texts that cultivate connectivity rather than expressing oratorical postures of authority, while others aim to bring together the experiences of soldier and civilian through collaborative projects. Both modes reinforce the notion that witnessing war in the flesh affords special knowledge.

Sng, Zachary. Middling Romanticism. Fordham University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.5422/fordham/9780823288410.001.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

The book examines the “middling” work performed by writers of the Romantic period such as Lessing, Kleist, P. B. Shelley, and Hölderlin. It traces their attempts to re-imagine the middle as a constitutive principle, which begin with dislodging terms such as medium, moderation, and mediation from their conventional roles as self-evident, self-effacing tools that conduct from one pole to another or provide a compromise between two extremes. What they offer instead is a dwelling in and with the middle: an attention to intervals, interstices, and gaps that recognize their centrality to the concept of relation. This produces a profound medial ambivalence that underpins romanticism’s re-writing of conceptual pairs such as origin and destination, speaker and addressee, deficit and surplus, self and other. In this light, we might also ask what it means for us to recognize our mediated relationship to romanticism. To address this question, the readings consider romantic writing in the context of a double juxtaposition: alongside the legacy of romantic middling in the twentieth century but the classical sources about the middle that romanticism draw on. The challenge is to see romanticism as neither ancient nor modern, but as the historical hinge upon which such distinctions turn, the mirror in which our own image is mediated and cast back to us.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter examines the structural tension between voice and image in Absalom, Absalom!, relating the novel’s formal resolutions to developments in photography, the printing press, and talking pictures. Considering the cognate set of mid-1930s relationships between word and image in the “photographic essay,” newspapers, and film, the chapter situates Faulkner’s artistic achievements in the context of larger cultural concerns about the storytelling capacity of visual images, the limits of textuality as an indexical medium, and the media’s commercial imperatives. The chapter directly relates these concerns to the tension in Faulkner’s aesthetic ideology between modernistic imperatives and antiquated romantic tendencies, since here the passage between text and image implies the “inheritance” and transmission of a romance gene from one media ecology to another by way of a hypnotizing tall tale. The chapter also looks closely at Pylon, examining a cultural mode of production and its relationship to capitalism more generally.

Full text

Abstract:

ADHD patients appear to have complex multisystem impairments in several cognitive-domain dissociated inferior, dorsolateral, and medial fronto-striato-parietal and frontocerebellar neural networks during inhibition, attention, working memory, and timing functions. There is emerging evidence for abnormalities in motivation and affect control regions, most prominently in ventral striatum, but also orbital/ventromedial frontolimbic areas. Furthermore, there is an immature interrelationship between hypoengaged task-positive cognitive control networks and a poorly ‘switched off’ default mode network, both of which impact performance. Stimulant medication enhances the activation of inferior frontostriatal systems, while atomoxetine appears to have more pronounced effects on the dorsal attention network. More studies are needed to understand the neurofunctional correlates of the effects of age, gender, ADHD subtypes, and comorbidities with other psychiatric conditions.
