No full textThe Cost Of Ocular Diseases In Italy: Assessment Of Blindness Prevention’s Effects On Public Spending
No full textPurpose. The most important purpose is to assess by a trial and error method the financial effects of efficient prevention programmes in our country. The study provides an empiric evidence that Government could reduce public spending thorough investments in projects of prevention about visual care.
Materials and methods. Authors focus on the economic impact of four eye diseases that are the major cause of blindness (90%) and for this reason they were classificated as ‘diseases of social importance’ (DSI from hereforth) according to the WHO: Age – related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), Cataract. Authors use a three-stage approach in order to estimate the impact of blindness prevention on public accounts:
1. Calculation of aggregate costs of the DSI in Italy;
2. Use of the estimated figures in the first stage of the alanysis to estimate the individual average costs;
3. Use of the estimated figures in the second stage of the analysis to run a simulation in capital budgeting comparing the costs associated with taking one of two possible choices: investing or not in a blindness prevention programme.
Discussion: Authors simulate the economic effects of the adoption of a blindness prevention campaign and compare them to the calculated costs of blindness. This comparison was based on the creation of decision trees, which are typically used for the optimisation of investment portfolios, combined with another decision technique: the Net Present Value (NPV)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Positive and negative emotional arousal increases duration of memory traces: common and independent mechanisms
No full textWe compared the ability of positive and negative emotional arousal to increase the duration of consolidated memory traces. Positive arousal was modulated by manipulating the motivational salience of the testing cage of an object recognition test (ORT). Negative emotional arousal was modulated by manipulating shock levels in a step-through inhibitory avoidance (IA). Mice trained in either a high (chocolate-associated) or a low (inedible object-associated) emotionally arousing cage showed discrimination of a novel object 24 hours after training, but only mice trained in the more arousing cage showed retention 96 hours after training. Mice trained with either low (0.35 mA) or high (0.7 mA) shock intensities showed increased step-through latencies when tested 24 hours after training, but only mice trained with the higher shock intensity showed retention of the inhibitory avoidance learning 1 week after training. Administration of the phosphodiesterase type IV inhibitor Rolipram immediately after training in the two low arousing conditions increases duration of both responses
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Positive emotional arousal increases persistence of object memory: role of dopamine D1 and beta adrenergic receptors
No full textPositive emotional arousal increases duration of memory traces: different role of dopamine D1 receptor and β-adrenoceptor activation.
No full textWe investigated the effects of post-training administration of dopamine D1 receptor antagonist SCH 23390 and beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist Propranolol on memory retention of an object sampled in a state of positive emotional arousal. Saline-treated mice trained and tested under high emotional/motivational arousal (High) showed discrimination of a novel object both 24 and 96 h post-training. Instead, mice trained and tested under low motivational arousal (Low) were unable to discriminate the novel object 96 h post-training. Both a high (2 mg/kg) and a low (1 mg/kg) dose of Propranolol reduced object discrimination in High mice tested 24 h post-training, whereas neither dose was effective in Low mice. A high dose of SCH 23390 (0.025 mg/kg) reduced discrimination of the novel object in High mice tested both 24 and 96 h post-training, whereas a low dose of the D1 antagonist (0.01 mg/kg) reduced discrimination in High mice tested 96 h post-training and abolished discrimination in Low mice tested 24 h after training.
