description: This review is concerned with 'cognitive mapping' (spatial cognition) in a cross-cultural perspective with particular reference to the Australian Aborigines and Australians of European descent. A 'cognitive map' is defined as a schematized representation that the individual carries in his head and refers to when moving around in his spatial environment. The process of 'cognitive mapping' is explored in terms of a model of human information processing and the general conclusions which emerge are: 1. 'Cognitive mapping' may be conceived as a dymanic process whereby selected information is integrated into a meaningful structure (a 'cognitive map') in relation to the individual's current schemata; his knowledge; and his 'world view'. 2. The 'cognitive map’ may be a visual and/or a verbal representation and its structure will likely contain the topological; projective; and possibly the euclidean relationships inherent in the landscape. 3. The major integrative processes involved in 'cognitive mapping' may be described as simultaneous and/or successive synthesis. It is suggested that there is considerable scope for cultural differences in 'cognitive mapping' at all stages in the human information processing model. This thesis is developed by comparing Aboriginal and European cultures with the emphasis on the Aborigines as the ethnographically unfamiliar culture . Three features of Aboriginal 'cognitive mapping' are outlined: 1. a highly developed bushcraft; 2. the ability to use dynamic mental maps; and 3* an indelible knowledge of spiritually significant landmarks and Dream-time tracks. Aboriginal 'cognitive mapping' is discussed in view of the human ifnormation processing model previously developed, and possible cross-cultural research hypotheses are presented. - In conclusion, it is emphasised that an ethnographic approach, the nature of which is discussed, is the only viable approach to a crosscultural investigation of large-scale 'cognitive mapping'.
FROM CHANDALIKA TO PRAKRITI: EMANCIPATION AND LIBERATION OF A DALIT WOMAN
Creators: name: Tapashree Ghosh
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2013
Subjects: Literature

description: For ages dalits have been victims of violence and oppression. Conditions of dalit women who are doubly marginalized are further worse. Caste based hierarchy still exists in India. The present paper analyses Tagore's dance drama Chandalika to trace Prakriti's journey from a Chandal girl to a woman aware of her worth and identity. At the end of the dance drama she no longer remains a Chandalika but arises above the confines of class, caste to arrive at a true understanding of her-self and the world. To map this personal odyssey the play may be subtitled “From Chandalika to Prakriti”.

description: The aim of this research was to carry out using Aboriginal children from Alice Springs a replication with variations of a study by Kearins (1974; 1977), which reported superior visual memory skills among Aboriginal children from the Western Desert; and to explore further the implications of Kearins' results. The experimental task used by Kearins was a spatial version of Kim's game. Three working hypotheses were stated based on a genetic-ecological demand theory proposed by Kearins. The third hypothesis related Kearins' theory to the Aborigines' superior 'cognitive mapping' ability as described by Lewis (1976). Hypothesis 1: As a result of ecological demand Aboriginal children from Alice Springs (a desert habitat) will be superior to a matched sample of European children from Canberra on a visual memory task; and Aboriginal children will use different coding strategies in memorizing arrayed objects than will European children. Hypothesis 2: If Aboriginal children are superior to European children on a visual memory task where objects are arrayed on a matrix, this ability should be enhanced if the objects are arrayed on the ground. Hypothesis 3: Aborigines will also demonstrate superior performance if the visual memory task involves a mental rotation. Europeans were found to make significantly more correct replacements than Aborigines in experiment 1; otherwise, no significant difference of race were found in either experiments 1 or 2. On the basis of these results, an 'environmental experience' hypothesis (Drinkwater, 1976) was accepted in preference to Kearins' genetic-ecological demand hypothesis. In experiment 3, Europeans performed significantly better than the Aborigines. It was suggested that the experimental task did not adequately reflect the Aborigines' 'cognitive mapping' ability. In conclusion, these data support an explanation that any differences found between Europeans and Aborigines in visual memory skill will likely result from a complex interaction of factors largely of an environmental nature

description: The boreal forest is a region characterized by wide swings in temperature and light levels over the course of a year. This seasonal variability strongly effects the vegetation of this biome. Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) values were observed at daily timescales for key land cover types of the boreal forest, developing a more detailed description of seasonal changes in NDVI than could be produced from satellite data. NDVI values were calculated from tower-mounted photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and global solar sensors measuring both incoming and reflected radiation above the canopies at four Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) sites. Comparisons were made between the tower-based broadband hemispherical NDVI values and the narrowband nadir-viewed NDVI values from helicopter modular multiband radiometer (MMR). The comparisons indicate that the tower NDVI values are close to the MMR NDVIs in value for the BOREAS sites, but the range in tower NDVIs is not so great as in the MMR NDVIs. In 1996, BOREAS towers operated from before thaw to freeze-up, allowing a complete picture of growing season NDVI for fen, young jack pine, black spruce, and aspen sites. The tower-based NDVI time series display different patterns for each vegetation type, showing the effects of snow cover and vegetation green-up and senescence. Changes in solar zenith angles are shown to have little effect on the seasonal NDVI patterns. An edited version of this paper was published by AGU. Copyright 1999 American Geophysical Union.

description: The history of Gorkhali men's recruit in the British Army is about two centuries long. Its history can be traced from the time of colonial India. When Anglo-Nepal war was took place in 1814-16 British surprised by seeing their fighting capacities. During the course of two great wars Gorkhali proved them as a warrior races and it was followed by in the Falkland war too. So, this article is written in the periphery of recruitment of Gorkhali people in to the British army and it gives its historical knowledge to the readers in some extent.

description: There is much uncertainty about the net carbon (C) exchange of boreal forest ecosystems, although this exchange may be an important part of global C dynamics. To resolve this uncertainty, net C exchange has been measured at several sites in the boreal forest of Canada as part of the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS). One of these sites is the Southern Old Aspen site at which diurnal CO2 and energy (radiation, latent, and sensible heat) fluxes were measured during 1994 using eddy correlation techniques at different positions within a mixed 70 year old aspen-hazelnut forest. These measurements were used to test a complex ecosystem model “ecosys” in which mass and energy exchanges between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere are simulated hourly under diverse conditions of soil, management, and climate. These simulations explained between 70% and 80% of diurnal variation in ecosystem CO2 and energy fluxes measured during three 1 week intervals in late April, early June, and mid-July. Total annual CO2 fluxes indicated that during 1994, aspen was a net sink of 540 (modeled) versus 670 (measured) g C m−2 yr−1, while hazelnut plus soil were a net source of 472 (modeled) versus 540 (measured) g C m−2 yr−1. The aspen-hazelnut forest at the BOREAS site was therefore estimated to be a net sink of about 68 (modeled) versus 130 (measured) g C m−2 yr−1 during 1994. Long-term simulations indicated that this sink may be larger during cooler years and smaller during warmer years because C fixation in the model was less sensitive to temperature than respiration. These simulations also indicated that the magnitude of this sink declines with forest age because respiration increases with respect to fixation as standing phytomass grows. Confidence in the predictive capabilities of ecosystem models at decadal or centennial timescales is improved by well-constrained tests of these models at hourly timescales.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: Abstract

As a result of an allergic reaction to fungal spores, a complicated condition known as Allergic Fungal Rhino sinusitis (AFRS) causes inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passageways. The precise endotype, or subtype, of AFRS must be identified in order to choose the best course of treatment and enhance patient outcomes. The purpose of the study was to describe and connect the microbiological profile with the incidence and clinical presentation of AFRS. Depending on their medical history, nasal endoscopy, and neuroimaging evidence, patients with fungal Rhinosinusitis that were clinically suspected were included. Relevant clinical samples were gathered, and they underwent histological analysis, direct microscopy, and culture. Results revealed significant relations among certain symptoms (e.g., sneezing, nasal obstruction, and disturbance in smell) and AFRS diagnosis (p < 0.05). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) findings indicated the presence of specific fungal DNA in clinical samples, confirming the diagnosis of AFRS and Immunohistochemistry revealed marked differences in antigen detection between AFRS and non-AFRS cases, emphasizing the role of fungal antigens and eosinophilic markers in AFRS pathogenesis. These findings underscore the importance of recognizing distinct clinical manifestations and utilizing microbiological techniques for AFRS diagnosis and management. The findings of the study emphasize the significance of recognizing specific clinical manifestations and utilizing microbiological techniques in diagnosing AFRS.  To validate these findings and enhance diagnostic approaches further exploration in this area is needed.

description: In order to examine the entangled notions of rural hinterlands and practices of future- and place-making, this article focuses on an episode from my fieldwork in Egypt’s Eastern Nile Delta in 2015/16, when I accompanied Tahawi Bedouins on their successful campaign during Egypt’s parliamentary elections in 2015. The aim is to shed light on the strategic use of tribal solidarity and patronage networks to mobilize supporters and voters. However, the same tribal networks and resources were also used to invoke and perform the necessary tribal unity when faced with a rural non-Tahawi population. The article develops two ideas, strategic tribalism and maḍyafa (guest house) ecology, to show the election campaign as an example of future- and place-making in a rural setting, whereas the specific constraints, possibilities and meanings embedded in the rural as a resource and a reserve unfold very differently, always reaching beyond romantic notions of the rural as remote.

description: Funerary lament and ritual weeping are multi-sensorial public expressions of grief that are often referred to as examples of cultural continuity in and across the Mediterranean. In the 1950s, anthropologist Ernesto de Martino and his team assembled a unique set of photos and sound and film recordings on lament in Southern Italy in an attempt to verify that contemporary forms of mourning did not just resemble ancient funerary laments but were actual relics thereof. Departing from these audio-visual materials, this essay traces recurring patterns and sequences of images and sounds related to lament in Southern Italy, arguing that the (female) body of the performers becomes the main medium of iconographic and choreographic reproduction by way of re-enacting and imitating lament in staged settings. Rather than studying the phenomenon of lament in itself (or its decline) or commenting on the continuity thesis, I focus on the mediatised transmission of corporeal expressions of lamenters by drawing on Aby Warburg’s concept of the “migration of images” (Bilderwanderung). I include artistic approaches and modes such as re-enactment, performance, and montage in my ethnographic study of ritual mourning and show that there is a repertory of ecstatic gestures transferred through command performances that is not concerned with “authentic” documentation. Instead, these gestures are there to be performed, individually reappropriated, and revived in situations of crisis to the present day.
Precompetitive preclinical ADME/Tox data: set it free on the web to facilitate computational model building and assist drug development.

description: Web-based technologies coupled with a drive for improved communication between scientists have resulted in the proliferation of scientific opinion, data and knowledge at an ever-increasing rate. The increasing array of chemistry-related computer-based resources now available provides chemists with a direct path to the discovery of information, once previously accessed via library services and limited to commercial and costly resources. We propose that preclinical absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity data as well as pharmacokinetic properties from studies published in the literature (which use animal or human tissues in vitro or from in vivo studies) are precompetitive in nature and should be freely available on the web. This could be made possible by curating the literature and patents, data donations from pharmaceutical companies and by expanding the currently freely available ChemSpider database of over 21 million molecules with physicochemical properties. This will require linkage to PubMed, PubChem and Wikipedia as well as other frequently used public databases that are currently used, mining the full text publications to extract the pertinent experimental data. These data will need to be extracted using automated and manual methods, cleaned and then published to the ChemSpider or other database such that it will be freely available to the biomedical research and clinical communities. The value of the data being accessible will improve development of drug molecules with good ADME/Tox properties, facilitate computational model building for these properties and enable researchers to not repeat the failures of past drug discovery studies.

description: Doing more with less resources used to be a situation common just for academic scientists. This is unfortunately still true for academics but we are seeing others facing many of the same challenges. With the squeeze on budgets and cost cutting resulting from recent worldwide economic challenges, the failure of many drugs to make it through the pipeline to the market, and the increasing costs associated with the drug development process, we are now seeing in the pharmaceutical industry a dramatic shift, perhaps belatedly, to have to accommodate similar challenges of doing more with less

description: Sophists acted among the educated persons and scholars in the Mediterranean after the 1st Sophistic in many regards as a special and distinct group. Since many examples show that they acted not only as sophists, but also performed other activities, we will examine here several cases were we see similarities and differences between them and other groups of scholars. Our three basic questions ‘what, how and why did the sophists teach and write?’ we answer examining diachronically the major forms and genres of writings they produced (‘What’), the ‘How’ will be answered looking at their performance as a communicative activity beyond borders of contemporary disciplines, and the ‘Why’ we try to answer emphasizing the necessity of sophistical activity in the contemporary socialization and education of late antiquity. Claiming that style was the idea of the sophists, we put Plato’s concept of ideas critically in the context of the concept of ideas derived from contemporary and later sophists focusing on the function of visuality from early sophistic works to the late antique era represented by Philostatus’ Imagines.

Conclusions: Inquire about erectile dysfunction in all adult males as a potential early indicator of modifiable factors. The presence of erectile dysfunction is a unique opportunity to motivate a patient to decrease risk factors. Partner involvement with the patient and physician facilitates the diagnosis and enhances the treatment. Sildenafil is the first-line choice for erection enhancement, provided that the risks of using sildenafil in that patient are minimal.

L’article insiste, notamment, sur les allusions probables d’Ovide à une forme d’hybris dont le héros fait preuve et qui est probablement responsable de sa mort.

description: Fernando de Herrera no sólo contempló la elegía de forma teórica en sus Anotaciones ofreciendo un verdadero capítulo de teoría general sobre dicha composición, sino que la cultivó él mismo con numerosos ejemplos y gran acierto en todos sus aspectos inherentes. Temáticamente, le sirve de vehículo idóneo para la expresión de la vertiente negativa de su relación con su protectora la Condesa de Gelves, doña Leonor de Milán. La elegía IV es un ejemplo modélico al respecto ya que aparecen la mayoría de los temas de la elegía clásica que enumerara Escalígero, así como el subjetivismo, estructura, retórica y perfecta adaptación del terceto encadenado o terza rima como unidad métrica equivalente al dístico elegíaco, aplicando en ella los criterios que toda elegía debe cumplir expuestos en sus Anotaciones.

description: We analyzed half-hourly tower-based flux measurements of carbon dioxide (CO2) from a boreal aspen forest and a temperate mixed deciduous forest in Canada to examine the influences of clouds on forest carbon uptake. We showed that the presence of clouds consistently and significantly increased the net ecosystem exchanges (NEE) of CO2 of both forests from the level under clear skies. The enhancement varied with cloudiness, solar elevation angles, and differed between the two forests. For the aspen forest the enhancement at the peak ranged from about 30% for the 20°–25° interval of solar elevation angles to about 55% for the 55°–60° interval. For the mixed forest the enhancement at the peak ranged from more than 60% for the 30°–35° interval of solar elevation angles to about 30% for the 65°–70° interval. Averaged over solar elevation angles >20°, the aspen and mixed forests had the maximal NEE at the irradiance equivalent to 78 and 71% of the clear-sky radiation, respectively. The general patterns of current sky conditions at both sites permit further increases in cloudiness to enhance their carbon uptake. We found that both forests can tolerate exceedingly large reductions of solar radiation (53% for the aspen forest and 46% for the mixed forest) caused by increases in cloudiness without lowering their capacities of carbon uptake. We suggest that the enhancement of carbon uptake under cloudy conditions results from the interactions of multiple environmental factors associated with the presence of clouds.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

The Red New Deal: North Dakota’s Carbon Sequestration and How It May Shape National Policy

description: While most emission reduction initiatives in the U.S. have been halted by partisan gridlock, geologic carbon sequestration has expanded over the past 8 years in North Dakota, a state historically dominated by the interests of the emission-driving coal and oil industries. In this paper, I aim to deploy a scientific analysis of geologic sequestration and a policy evaluation of the administrative changes that led to sequestration’s growth in North Dakota in order to explain its expansion in one of the last places emission-reduction policy would be expected. Using government documents, scientific analyses, and stakeholder perspectives, I find that geologic sequestration’s unique ability to simultaneously increase corporate profit through federal tax breaks and spur oil recovery at exhausted wells drove this expansion, which was made possible by a streamlined permitting process in North Dakota. This streamlining both shortened the site evaluation process to a potentially dangerous extent and sparked an anti-sequestration political shift in neighboring states due to controversial CO2 pipeline projects. Despite these flaws, geologic sequestration’s qualities have poised it as a bipartisan emission-reduction solution with the potential for a rapid nationwide expansion now that Doug Burgum, the architect of North Dakota’s sequestration boom, heads the department charged with permitting sequestration on federal lands.
The Need for Systematic Naming Software Tools for Exchange of Chemical Information

description: The availability of systematic names can enable the simple textual exchange of chemical structure information. The exchange of molecular structures in graphical format or connection tables has become well established in the field of cheminformatics and many structure drawing tools exist to enable this exchange. However, even with the availability of systematic naming rules, software tools to allow the generation of names from structures, and hopefully the reversal of these systematic names back to the original chemical structure, have been sorely lacking in capability and quality. Here we review the need for systematic naming as well as some of the tools and approaches being taken today in this area.

description: Background/Objectives: The IWATE criteria are well-established as a helpful tool to preoperatively estimate the difficulty and perioperative outcome of laparoscopic liver resections. We evaluated the relationship between the IWATE criteria and the perioperative outcomes in robotic-assisted liver resections (RARLs). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 58 patients who underwent robotic-assisted liver surgery at our center between July 2019 and April 2023. The operative difficulty of every patient was graded according to the IWATE criteria and compared to the perioperative outcome. Results: The median operation time was 236.5 min (range 37–671 min), and the median length of stay was 6 days (range 3–37 min). The majority had no complications (65.5%; n = 38), 18 (31.0%) patients suffered from mild complications (CD ≤ 3A) and 2 patients (3.4%) suffered from relevant complications (CD ≥ 3B). We observed no deaths within 30 postoperative days. The surgery time, postoperative ICU stay and perioperative blood transfusions increased significantly with a higher difficulty level (p = < 0.001; p < 0.001; p = 0.016). The length of stay, conversion to open surgery (n = 2) and complication rate were not significantly linked to the resulting IWATE group. Conclusions: The IWATE criteria can be implemented in robotic-assisted liver surgery and can be helpful in preoperatively estimating the difficulty of robotic liver resections. Whether there is a “robotic effect” in minimally invasive liver resections has to be further clarified. The IWATE criteria can help to develop curricula for robotic training.

Empirical and DFT GIAO quantum-mechanical methods of 13C chemical shifts prediction: competitors or collaborators?

description: The accuracy of 13C chemical shift prediction by both DFT GIAO quantum-mechanical (QM) and empirical methods was compared using 205 structures for which experimental and QM-calculated chemical shifts were published in the literature. For these structures, 13C chemical shifts were calculated using HOSE code and neural network (NN) algorithms developed within our laboratory. In total, 2531 chemical shifts were analyzed and statistically processed. It has been shown that, in general, QM methods are capable of providing similar but inferior accuracy to the empirical approaches, but quite frequently they give larger mean average error values. For the structural set examined in this work, the following mean absolute errors (MAEs) were found: MAE(HOSE) = 1.58 ppm, MAE(NN) = 1.91 ppm and MAE(QM) = 3.29 ppm. A strategy of combined application of both the empirical and DFT GIAO approaches is suggested. The strategy could provide a synergistic effect if the advantages intrinsic to each method are exploited.
