THE EMPATHIC VALUE OF EMOTIONAL PROSODY: DOES THE WAY YOU EXPRESS FEELINGS SHAPE BOTH NEURAL EMPATHIC REACTIONS TRIGGERED BY CONCOMITANT FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND LANGUAGE CONTENT? AN ERP STUDY
No full text‘Close to Me’: neural empathic reactions are reduced by physical distance and barriers between the observer and someone in pain
No full textEmpathy towards others’ pain might be shaped by the social and affective relationships between individuals, such that, for instance, neural empathic reactions are magnified for affectively close others when compared to strangers. In line with the recent evidence that the same parietal area is involved in the processing of both physical and psychological distance, we hypothesized that empathy may be modulated as a function of the physical distance between the observer and someone in pain. We conducted 2 event-related potentials (ERPs) experiments. In Exp. 1, we tracked neural activity in a standard pain decision task in which, in a between-subjects design, participants had to decide whether each presented face was painfully or neutrally stimulated. One group of participants was exposed to faces perceived as further (3 m), while another group of participants was exposed to faces perceived as closer (2 m). We observed a modulation of the neural empathic reaction as a function of the distance manipulation, such that the reaction was larger for the faces perceived as closer. Although intriguing, it is still to be understood the underlying mechanism through which manipulating the physical distance may interfere with empathic responses. One of such possible mechanism may refer to the notion of ‘embodied simulation’ and ‘interaction space’, the shared reaching space of two individuals. Within this framework, the sharing of emotions and affective states might be sensitive to the physical distance separating the two individuals. The goal of Exp. 2 (2a: further faces; 2b: closer faces) was to investigate whether interfering on the ‘interaction space’ per se could modulate neural empathic reactions. Participants performed the same task as in Exp. 1 under both one standard condition, in which they seated directly in front of the screen (no-plexiglass condition), and a second critical condition in which a transparent plexiglass was interposed between them and the screen (plexiglass condition). We expected a reduced empathic reaction in the plexiglass condition for participants exposed to the faces perceived as closer (Exp. 2b), as a result of interference with the participants' interaction space. Results revealed a reduced empathic response at both fronto-central and centro-parietal electrodes, for faces stimuli perceived at a closer distance (Exp. 2b) in the plexiglass condition. The manipulation of the ‘interaction space’ did not impact the empathic responses toward faces perceived as further (Exp. 2a)

Variations on the Author
No full text“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

Cerebellar Neurocysticercosis as Long-Term Complication of Allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation from Haploidentical Donor
No full textNeurocysticercosis, an infection of the central nervous system with the larval stage of the cestode Taenia solium, is uncommon in developed countries. We report a case of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a haploidentical donor complicated, in the long term, by T. solium infection of the central nervous system and successfully treated with empiric antiparasitic therapy with albendazole plus dexamethasone. Revised diagnostic criteria proposed by Del Brutto et al. were used for the definitive diagnosis of cerebellar neurocysticercosis
Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
