Untersuchung des postsynaptischen exzitatorischen Verhaltens Pannexin1-defizienter hippocampaler CA1-Neurone
No full textDie vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit Untersuchungen von exzitatorischen, posytsynaptischen Feldpotentialen in einem neuronalen Netzwerk. Diese wurden in Hirnschnitten von Hippocampi an zwei verschiedenen Mausmodellen abgeleitet. Dabei handelte es sich einmal um ein globales Knock-Out Mausmodell, das nicht mehr das Kanalprotein Pannexin1 exprimiert, und dem entsprechendem Wildtyp. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass es zu einer vermehrten Amplitude der Feldpotenziale beim KO-Typ kommt. Ebenfalls konnte man eine vermehrte Übererregung erkennen, wenn eine künstliche Exzitation mit Hilfe von Mg-Entzug der Versuchslösung und Zugabe von 4-Aminopyridin provoziert wurde. Eine Abnahme der fEPSP konnte erfolgreich unter Muscimol und Carbachol gezeigt werden. Pannexin1 wirkt vermutlich protektiv gegen Übererregung in einem neuronalen Netzwerk. Es wird angenommen, dass ein Feedback-Mechanismus über eine Ko-Aktivierung von NMDA-Rezeptoren erfolgt
Sound in the Aboriginal Australian Films of Rolf de Heer
No full textAnna Hickey-Mody and Melissa Iocca invented a new name for the cinema-goer at "Bad Boy Bubby" (1993) when they wrote: "In de Heer's film, the viewer is primarily a listener, or aurator, and secondly a spectator" and I have argued the label 'aurator' can also be used for the person experiencing "Ten Canoes" (2006). This Aboriginal Australian Dreamtime fable features dialogue recorded entirely in the Ganalbingu language of the Indigenous people it stars, and is a prime example of what I would suggest can be labeled 'The Aboriginal Australian Films of Rolf de Heer'. "The Tracker" (2002) and "Dr. Plonk" (2007) have also included depictions of Aboriginal Australians and each of the trio utilizes Cat Hope's "innovative sound ideas" to present what I argue is an aural auteur's signature revealing a post-colonial Australian world-view that privileges the justice system and eco-spirituality of Aboriginal Australians
Rock Concert Performance from ABBA to ZZ Top
No full textThis book presents an analysis of 100 rock concert performances and attempts to answer the question "What makes a truly great rock performance?" Author Peter Smith, an experienced concert goer, delves into his own recollections of experiencing rock performances over the last 50+ years and, with the support of his daughter, Laura Smith, analyzes 100 selected performances covering the themes of icons, persona, energy, fandom, venues, communities, politics, art-rock, authenticity and maturity. The approach taken is based upon qualitative analysis, reflection, and autoethnography. The selected performances cover a range of diverse acts such as the Rolling Stones, ABBA, Sex Pistols, Barbara Streisand, David Bowie, and the like
The mezzo-soprano as representation of 'the other' in nineteenth century opera
No full textIncludes bibliographical references.The author continues by arguing that mezzo-soprano and contralto voices resemble the male voice and therefore composers often cast women in this fach as the jealous and malicious characters compared to the true and simplistic nature of the soprano (e.g. Ortrud versus Elsa in Lohengrin).3 When one looks at the significant mezzo-soprano roles in nineteenth-century opera, it is clear that the majority of these roles can be seen as representations of the Other. The aim of the thesis will be to investigate some of the most important nineteenth-century mezzo-soprano roles that represent the Other. The main research question is: To what extent do the selected roles represent the various templates delineated in theories of alterity? The roles will be classified and discussed according to four templates of alterity: social, religious, moral and emotional
Current approaches to the formation of museum audience in the context of cultural tourism
No full textThe article raises the question of the measures required for the development of domestic tourism in
our country. The actual development of the industry in the current situation requires decisive action
from the government. There are long proven economic levers used by Western countries that derive
income from tourism at levels comparable to oil revenues. Сultural tourism has an outstanding
potential in our country, being integrated both in the economic sphere and in the sphere of culture.
Therefore, in order to get the ball rolling, it requires not only the efforts of the state, but the initiative on
the part of private businesses and by cultural institutions. Increasing the audience of cultural tourism
meets the strategic interests of cultural institutions: museums, theaters, cultural centers and others. Reflecting on how to generate a tourist audience, the author points to two types of tourists: passive and
motivated. The second type itself is the source of its own reproduction. This type does not arise from
«nowhere». The author draws a clear pattern by comparing an avid tourist with a theater-goer or an
avid reader: the theater-goer is the one who in his childhood has acquired personal experience with
the theater; the reader is the one who in his childhood has acquired personal experience with the book.
Therefore, the question arises about the engendering future tourists as researchers, tourist-pathfinders.
In this regard, the author examines the phenomenon of the tourist and local lore movement, which
had great popularity among children and young people in the 1970s and 80s. The revival of this movement
could have huge benefi ts for the country, especially in terms of the formation of its human capital,
because in the process of learning its regional human and civic values are being formed. This could
bring considerable benefit in terms of the prosperity of our cultural institutions. Citing examples from
practice, the author concludes that the basis for the revival of tourism and local lore movement should
be cooperation between schools and cultural institutions
Massa, Antonio
No full textAntonio Massa, notaio, avvocato e autore di un buon numero di opere giuridiche, fu attivo nel XVI secolo a Roma, dove esercitò l’avvocatura ai massimi livelli. All’attività professionale egli affiancò una nutrita produzione scientifica, dando alle stampe trattati su argomenti disparati, la cui diffusione è testimoniata dalle edizioni che si succedettero per tutto il XVII secolo. La figura che emerge dalle opere del Massa è quella di un giurista, da un lato, pienamente partecipe della temperie umanistica, ammiratore di Alciato e frequentatore dei circoli umanistici romani, dall’altro, attento alle esigenze della prassi giudiziaria e dunque, inevitabilmente, seguace del paradigma dialettico delle scienze giuridiche.Antonio Massa, notary, lawyer and author of a number of legal works, he was active in the sixteenth century in Rome, where he worked as a lawyer at the highest levels. Professional activity he joined by a large scientific production, giving the prints processed on diverse subjects, the disclosure of which is demonstrated by the issues that succeeded one another throughout the seventeenth century. The picture that emerges from the works of Massa is that of a lawyer, on the one hand, a full participant in the climate humanist, an admirer of Alciato goer and humanist circles Romans, on the other hand, attentive to the needs of judicial practice and therefore, inevitably, a follower the dialectic paradigm of legal sciences
Theatre and iIlusion
No full textThe thesis explores different meanings of the illusion in theatrical context in the past and searches how to define this effect. It compares definitions in classic resources (Fureti?re, Marmontel, D?Aubignac, Stendhal, Hugo etc.) as well as in contemporary dictionaries (Pavis, Corvin) and asks a question if an illusion as a false appearance of reality (in so far the spectator forgets he is in the theatre or takes the watched performance or its part for a real event) is possible. The study affirms such an illusion is excluded in essence, except for occurrences when the theatre-goer is unable to distinguish between the intentional and unintentional potency included in the artwork (according to Mukařovský) or between the technical and image aspect of the work (according to Zich) or he does not discern a model from the original (according to Osolsobě), i.e. he does not identify the theatre as such. Author quotes some concrete (feinted or real) examples of an irruption of ?extra-theatrical reality? into a running show. Main part is consecrated to the analysis of the illusion as in-play (i-llusio), i.e. creation of a ?ludic reality?, framework of a game which theatre-goers may join. Author considers this playful, ludic aspect, contained in the root of the word ?illusion?, as the most important and vital thing related to matters of the theatre illusion. It is necessary to think over possibilities how to involve spectators in such a game (play) and consequences of these attempts. Effects of theatralisation, once considered as anti-illusive effects, are very close to it (today we can look at them as on a small part of rich theatrical conventions)
Women living with HIV in South Africa : discourses of 'normalisation' and femininity
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 140-150).Sub-Saharan Africa has the greatest proportion of people living with HIV. As of 2005, 28.5 million people in southern Africa were living with HIV and 57% of them are women (UNAIDS, 2005). As the pandemic progresses, scholarly work is produced surrounding HIV but this still remains within the confines of the hegemonic construct of HIV as a biomedical problem. The literature does not reflect the fact that HIV is a gendered experience nor does it reflect the discourses of HIV produced by the women who are living with the virus. This study focused on uncovering the discourses of women living with HIV by conducting 15 semi-structured qualitative interviews with women living in a suburb of Cape Town, South Africa. The research was conducted within a feminist framework and the interview questions focus on women's experiences of living with HIV. The interview transcripts were discursively analysed. The analysis focuses on the context in which the women were speaking as well as the language they employed. The discourses that emerged are: normalisation through men and work, the positive and negative effects of disclosure, taking care of men and children versus abuse, and bodily changes. The findings indicate that future research must take into consideration not only the dominant bio-medical discourses of HIV, but the discourses of the very women living with the virus. In addition, the discourses of women that emerge in this study indicate the need for the global restructuring of oppressive hegemonic systems that have exacerbated the HIV problem for women as well as men, if we are to see the end of HIV as a social problem
