Posterior parietal cortex mediates fear renewal in a novel context
No full textThe return of fear following extinction therapy is an important issue associated with the treatment of many fear-related disorders. Fear renewal is a suitable model, with which context-dependent modulation of the fear response can be examined. In this model, any context outside of an extinction context (e.g., novel or familiar contexts) could evoke relapse of the fear response. However, brain regions associated with context-dependent modulation are not fully understood. The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is considered a center for integrating multisensory information and making decisions. To study its role in the contextual modulation of fear relapse, we reversibly inactivated the PPC in mice before they were exposed to various contexts after extinction training. When muscimol was infused into the PPC, fear renewal was impaired in a novel context, but not in a familiar context. Fear relapses were blocked during optogenetic inhibition of the PPC, only when animals were placed in a novel context. We propose that the neural activity of the PPC is necessary for the relapse of a precise response to an extinguished conditioned stimulus in a novel context. © 2020 The Author(s).1
Amelioration of amyloid -FcRIIb neurotoxicity and tau pathologies by targeting LYN
No full textSRC-family kinases (SFKs) have been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but their mode of action was scarcely understood. Here, we show that LYN plays an essential role in amyloid (A)-triggered neurotoxicity and tau hyperphosphorylation by phosphorylating Fc receptor IIb2 (FcRIIb2). We found that enzyme activity of LYN was increased in the brain of AD patients and was promoted in neuronal cells exposed to A 1-42 (A(1-42)). Knockdown of LYN expression inhibited A(1-42)-induced neuronal cell death. Of note, LYN interacted with FcRIIb2 upon exposure to A(1-42) and phosphorylated FcRIIb2 at Tyr273 within immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif in neuronal cells. With the use of the structure-based drug design, we isolated KICG2576, an ATP-competitive inhibitor of LYN. Determination of cocrystal structure illustrated that KICG2576 bound to the cleft in the LYN kinase domain and inhibited LYN with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration value of 0.15 M. KICG2576 inhibited A- or FcRIIb2-induced cell death, and this effect was better than pyrazolopyrimidine 1, a widely used inhibitor of SFK. Upon exposure to A, KICG2576 blocked the phosphorylation of FcRIIb2 and translocation of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate 5-phosphatase 2, a binding protein to the phosphorylated FcRIIb2, to the plasma membrane, resulting in the inhibition of tau hyperphosphorylation, the downstream event of A(1-42)-FcRIIb2 binding. Furthermore, intracerebroventricular injection of KICG2576 into mice ameliorated A-induced memory impairment. These results suggest that LYN plays a crucial role in A(1-42)-mediated neurotoxicity and tau pathology, providing a therapeutic potential of LYN in AD.Gwon, Y., Kim, S.-H., Kim, H.

Development of the Ajaeng Concerto and Its Musical Characteristics
No full text학위논문(박사)--서울대학교 대학원 :음악대학 음악과,2020. 2. 양경숙.Ajaeng is an instrument played for court music ensemble. Since the mid 1930s, along with the instrument redesign, Ajaeng has become more popular in other genres and forms of music. Especially, since the piece written by Kangduk Lee was released in 1968, Ajaeng concertos have mainly been Sanjo concertos for about 30 years. It was not until in the 2000s that Ajaeng concertos began including more diverse repertoires.
Recently, more concertos for Ajaeng solo are consistently released through ARKO contemporary music competition, which shows that the Ajaeng concerto has become a prominent repertoire in music performance fields. Therefore, this author deemed necessary for an academic approach to the Ajaeng concerto and analyzed its musical characteristics. The author also studied the relationship between the orchestra and Ajaeng as a solo as well as the Ajaeng concertos musical development over time. This article studies the Ajaeng concertos musical development chronically by examining in three phases.
The first phase is the early formation of the Ajaeng concerto, where the concerto form from the western music was applied but the most musical elements were of Korean traditional music. The concertos mainly included the unison melodies played by both Ajaeng solo and the orchestra as an ensemble, emphasizing a sense of uniformity, which shows similarity to the Korean traditional music ensemble form.
The second phase is when numerous Ajaeng concertos were written. This author noticed a trend that the composers would merge both traditional and non-traditional musical elements in an attempt to express the theme melodies. Also, an interactive relationship between the Ajaeng solo and the orchestra can be observed as they support the theme melody by playing the harmony and the rhythm.
The third phase can be viewed as an experimental time for Ajaeng concertos with diverse tone changes. Various non-traditional music techniques were used to highlight contemporary sound. During this phase, Sanjo Ajaeng was preferred and some composers showed their intention to preserve traditions by using elements from folk songs and court music. Meanwhile, Ajaeng solo was written to play contrasting melodies from the orchestra to accentuate musical characteristics, which illustrated melodic expression effectively.
This author observed that the Ajaeng concerto has shown different characteristics during each phase as well as an interactive relationship between the orchestra and Ajaeng as a solo instrument. Based on these findings, the author hopes to contribute to diversifying the Ajaeng concertos and to provide a foundation for more Ajaeng concertos that will reflect the unique features of Ajaeng.아쟁은 궁중음악 합주에서 연주되던 악기로 1930년대 중반부터 악기 개량과 더불어 그 연주의 장르 및 형태를 확장해 나가고 있다. 특히 아쟁협주곡은 1968년 이강덕 작곡의 를 시작으로 이후 30여 년간 산조협주곡이 주를 이루었으며 2000년대에 들어와 다양한 레퍼토리의 아쟁협주곡이 창작되었다.
최근에는 아쟁을 독주악기로 한 협주곡이 ARKO 창작음악제를 통해 꾸준히 발표되고 있으며 이는 협주로서의 아쟁 연주가 음악계에서 주요한 레퍼토리로 자리 잡게 되었다는 점을 반증한다. 따라서 아쟁협주곡에 대한 학문적 접근이 필요하며 아쟁협주곡의 음악적 특징 및 독주아쟁과 관현악의 상호관계 분석을 통해 시대에 따른 전개양상에 대해 분석하였다.
본고에서는 총 3시기로 구분하여 아쟁협주곡의 변화양상을 통시적으로 살펴보았다.
제1기는 아쟁협주곡의 형성 초기로 협주곡이라는 서양음악의 형식을 차용하였지만 내용적으로는 전통음악 중심의 음악적 특징을 가지고 있었다. 독주아쟁과 관현악이 동일한 선율을 합주 형태로 연주하는 양상이 주를 이루었고 작품의 통일감을 강조하여 전통관현합주와 유사한 양상을 나타냈다.
제2기는 아쟁협주곡이 다작되는 시기로 작곡가가 작품에서 표현하고자 하는 주제선율을 효과적으로 드러내기 위해 전통적 요소와 비전통적 요소들을 혼용하는 경향을 보였다. 이와 더불어 작품의 주제선율이 부각되도록 독주아쟁과 관현악이 화음 및 리듬으로 보조하는 상호관계가 두드러지게 나타났다.
제3기는 아쟁협주곡이 다양한 음색 변화를 시도하는 시기로 현대적인 음향을 강조하기 위한 다양한 비전통적인 주법들을 사용하는 모습이 나타났다. 산조아쟁을 위한 작품이 더욱 선호되고 있으며 민속악과 정악의 시김새를 활용하는 등 전통을 고수하고자 하는 경향을 보이기도 했다. 한편 독주아쟁의 이러한 음악적 특징이 강조될 수 있도록 관현악은 독주아쟁과 상이한 선율을 연주함으로써 효과적으로 선율을 배치하였다.
이와 같이 아쟁협주곡은 시대마다 조금씩 상이한 특징이 나타났고 독주아쟁과 관현악도 밀접한 관계를 맺고 있음을 확인하였다. 이를 토대로 본 연구가 아쟁협주곡의 다양화에 기여하고 아쟁의 특성이 더욱 부각되는 작품이 발표될 수 있는 기반을 마련하는 기초작업으로 활용되길 희망한다.I. 서론 1

Tribuson – Prolegomenon
No full textČlanak je skica za sintezu jednog zanimljivog književnog opusa u kojoj autor nastoji povezati različite žanrovske i tipološke aspekte pisca Gorana Tribusona. Autor prikazuje sva bitna obilježja Tribusonova pripovjedačkog opusa. Isto tako, komparira Tribusonove kriminalističke
romane s romanima nekih skandinavskih pisaca i tvrdi da je Tribuson velik uspjeh postigao prije njih. Autor odaje priznanje neospornoj vještini pripovijedanja povezanoj s preciznim uočavanjem socijalnih i psiholoških obilježja likova.The paper is a sketch for the synthesis of an interesting literary opus. The author tries to connect various genres and typological aspects of writer Goran Tribuson. The author presents all the essential features of Tribuson’s narrative opus. He further compares Tribuson’s crime novels with novels of several Scandinavian writers, claiming that Tribuson had achieved great success even earlier than they did. The author pays respect to Tribuson’s undoubtedly skilled story-telling method linked with detailed observing of social and psychological features of the characters
En observationsstudie av barns gråtbeteende på daghem [Elektronisk resurs]
No full textGenom deltagande observation insamlades beskrivningar av gråtepisoder (80 episoder) bland 19 stycken 3-6-åringar under tre veckors tid på en daghemsavdelning. De vanligaste orsakerna till att barn började gråta var att de blivit slagna (bitna, rivna, knuffade etc) av något annat barn eller att de inte fått som de velat i någon typ av konfliktsituation. The author participated during three weeks at a day-care centre and noted 80 episodes with crying. The most common causes when crying were physical attacks by another child or losing in a conflict situation. </p
Disposal of toxic industrial waste
No full textNa temelju prirnjera izvedbe deponija za krute otrovne otpatke u Banjoj Luci autor opisuje uvjete i tehnička rješenja bitna za pravilno odlaganje krutog otrovnog otpada. Posebno ističe način projektiranja kojim se izbjegava kantakt deponiranog otpada sa zemljom i vodom čime se onemogućava onečišćenje prirode.On the basis of experience in constructing a landfill disposal site for toxic and hazardous waste in the town of Banja Luka the author describes modern principles used in this work. A modern, properly engineered landfill disposal site should be designed so as to prevent any contact of the disposed material with the soil and underground water. The author stresses a need for careful consideration of numerous facts which if ignored may have a deleterious effect on man and environment
THE TONES OF A MOTHER TONGUE
No full textNa tragu ulomka iz eseja Tina Ujevića Oroz pred Endimnionom autor tematizira značaj materinskoga jezika uopće i posebno kajkavštine. Jezično-filozofijske poticaje nalazi u spisima Wilhelma von Humboldta, Johanna Gottfrieda Herdera, Johanna Lea Weisgerbera i Hans-Georga Gadamera. Ističe se teza o povezanosti kajkavskih govora s jezičnim iskonom, odnos glasa (tona) i značenja, bitna uloga slušanja, čitanja naglas i umijeća recitiranja za recepciju naročito kajkavskoga pjesništva.SUMMARY
Following a passage from Tin Ujević's essay “Oroz pred Endimnionom”, the author discusses the importance of a mother tongue in general, and especially the Kajkavian dialect. He finds the linguistic and philosophical encouragement for this in the papers of Wilhelm von Humboldt, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Leo Weisgerber and Hans-George Gadamer. The thesis on the correlation of Kajkavian tongues with linguistic origins is stressed, the relationship between tone and meaning, the essential role of listening, reading out loud and the art of reciting which is especially important for the reception of Kajkavian poetry
The Post–Communist Transition and Virtue in Business Ethics
No full textOvaj članak istražuje stvarnost postkomunističke tranzicije s obzirom na katoličku tradiciju. Nasljeđe totalitarne vladavine vrlo je duboko i ne smije biti zanemareno prilikom razmatranja mogućnosti tih zemalja. Autor navodi kako postoji bitna veza između moralnih vrlina i slobodnog društva s djelotvornom tržišnom ekonomijom. Ako relativistički pristup ostane dominantan u poslovanju i široj kulturi, ne možemo razumski očekivati poboljšanje u budućnosti.This article explores the reality of post–communist transition in view of the Catholic tradition. The legacy of totalitarian rule goes very deep and should not be overlooked when examining the prospects of these countries. The author argues that there is a vital connection between moral virtues and a free society with a functioning market economy. If the relativistic approach remains the dominant one in business and the wider culture, we cannot reasonably expect an improvement in the future
Human Nature or Human Natures
No full textMože li ljudska priroda biti definirana? Autor se zalaže za opisivanje ljudske prirode, u čemu vidi mogućnost ukazivanja na njena bitna svojstva i svu različitost, ali i istost. Već samo postavljanje pitanja o ljudskoj prirodi govori o nužnosti filozofskog promišljanja svega što pripada i može pripadati ljudskom biću. Zato je pitanje o ljudskoj prirodi trajno otvoreno pitanje.Can human nature be defined? The author advocates for describing the human nature, wherein he sees the possibility of pointing out its essential traits, not only the differences but also the sameness. The very question of human nature speaks about the necessity of philosophical reflection on all things human. Thus, the question regarding human nature is perpetual and open
A CONSTITUTION WITHOUT A STATE
No full textAutor izlaže teoriju ustava P. Häberlea u pet cjelina: 1. Pojam ustava; 2. Ustav kao javni proces; 3. Ustav kao kultura; 4. “Peta” metoda tumačenja; 5. Kritičke primjedbe. Ovom razdiobom autor obuhvaća, ako ne sva, a ono barem bitna obilježja Häberleove koncepcije ustava. Prema mišljenju autora, Häberle je, nakon Savignyja, razradio jedno novo načelo tumačenja ustava, a to je kulturno načelo. U razdoblju kraja ere nacionalnih država i procesu intenzivne međunarodne kooperacije ovo načelo ustava, osim klasičnih metoda tumačenja ustava, zauzima sve značajnije mjesto. Autor se na kraju osvrće na polemike što ih je izazvala Häberleova teorija ustava.The author outlines Häberle’s theory of constitution in five parts: 1. The concept of the constitution; 2. The constitution as a public process; 3. The constitution as culture 4. The “fifth” method of interpretation; 5. Critical objections. With this division the author covers, if not all, then at least the essential features of Häberle’s concept of the constitution. In the author’s opinion, Häberle, after Savigny, worked out a new principle for interpreting the constitution - the cultural principle. At the time of the decline of nation-states and the era of intensive international concurrence of constitutions, this principle - apart from the classic methods of the interpretation of constitutions - has been gaining importance. And finally, the author looks into the controversies triggered off by Häberle’s theory of constitutions
