Incidence and spectrum of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease variants with mixed phenotype and co-occurrence of PrPSc types: an updated classification
No full textSix subtypes of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with distinctive clinico-pathological features have been identified largely based on two types of the abnormal prion protein, PrPSc, and the methionine (M)/valine (V) polymorphic codon 129 of the prion protein. The existence of affected subjects showing mixed phenotypic features and concurrent PrPSc types has been reported but with inconsistencies among studies in both results and their interpretation. The issue currently complicates diagnosis and classification of cases and also has implications for disease pathogenesis. To explore the issue in depth, we carried out a systematic regional study in a large series of 225 cases. PrPSc types 1 and 2 concurrence was detected in 35% of cases and was higher in MM than in MV or VV subjects. The deposition of either type 1 or 2, when concurrent, was not random and always characterized by the coexistence of phenotypic features previously described in the pure subtypes. PrPSc type 1 accumulation and related pathology predominated in MM and MV cases, while the type 2 phenotype prevailed in VVs. Neuropathological examination best identified the mixed types 1 and 2 features in MMs and most MVs, and also uniquely revealed the co-occurrence of pathological variants sharing PrPSc type 2. In contrast, molecular typing best detected the concurrent PrPSc types in VV subjects and MV cases with kuru plaques. The present data provide an updated disease classification and are of importance for future epidemiologic and transmission studies aimed to identify etiology and extent of strain variation in sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
The artist as economist : art and capitalism in the 1960s
No full textInternational audienceBearing witness to the changing economic landscape amid the Cold War, artists in the 1960s created works that critiqued, reshaped, and sometimes reinforced the spirit of capitalism. At a time when currency and finance were becoming ever more abstracted—and the art market increasingly an arena for speculation—artists on both sides of the Atlantic turned to economic themes, often grounded in a human context. The Artist as Economist examines artists who approached these issues in critical, imaginative, and humorous ways: Andy Warhol and Larry Rivers incorporated the iconography of printed currency into their paintings, while Ray Johnson sought to disrupt and reinvent circuits of commerce with his mail art collages. Yves Klein and Edward Kienholz critiqued conceptions of artistic and monetary value, as Lee Lozano and Dennis Oppenheim engaged directly with the New York Stock Exchange. Such examples, which author Sophie Cras insightfully situates within their historic economic context, reveal capitalism’s visual dimension. As art and economics grow more entangled, this volume offers a timely consideration of art’s capacity to reflect on and reimagine economic system
Superconductivity in the vicinity of antiferromagnetic order in CrAs
No full textOne of the common features of unconventional superconducting systems such as the heavy-fermion, high transition-temperature cuprate and iron-pnictide superconductors is that the superconductivity emerges in the vicinity of long-range antiferromagnetically ordered state. In addition to doping charge carriers, the application of external pressure is an effective and clean approach to induce unconventional superconductivity near a magnetic quantum critical point. Here we report on the discovery of superconductivity on the verge of antiferromagnetic order in CrAs via the application of external pressure. Bulk superconductivity with T-c approximate to 2 K emerges at the critical pressure P-c approximate to 8 kbar, where the first-order antiferromagnetic transition at T-N approximate to 265 K under ambient pressure is completely suppressed. The close proximity of superconductivity to an antiferromagnetic order suggests an unconventional pairing mechanism for CrAs. The present finding opens a new avenue for searching novel superconductors in the Cr and other transition metal-based systems.Multidisciplinary SciencesSCI(E)[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]
Better Complexity Bounds for Cost Register Automata
No full textCost register automata (CRAs) are one-way finite automata whose transitions have the side-effect that a register is set to the result of applying a state-dependent semiring operation to a pair of registers. Here it is shown that CRAs over the tropical semiring can simulate polynomial time computation, proving along the way that a naturally dened width-k circuit value problem over the tropical semiring is P-complete. Then the copyless variant of the CRA, requiring that semiring operations be applied to distinct registers, is shown no more powerful than NC^1 when the semiring is the integers, or strings with operations max and concat. This relates questions left open in recent work on the complexity of CRA-computable functions to long-standing class separation conjectures in complexity theory, such as NC versus P and NC^1 versus GapNC^1.Peer reviewe

Nicholas Sammond, Birth of an Industry: Blackface Minstrelsy and the Rise of American Animation
No full textIn 2007, the Christopher P. Lehman stated that American animation owes its existence to African Americans due to the prevalence of their negative depictions and caricatures in early cartoons. According to the author, these visual incarnations of a humor relying on ethnic jokes dominated without a doubt the emerging motion picture industry, including the animated films. Eight years later (2015), Nicholas Sammond goes into this topic in depth with his book Birth of an Industry: Blackface Minstr..

No full textA presente dissertação tem como objetivo investigar o trabalho do psicólogo no Centro de Referência de Assistência Social (CRAS). A Assistência Social como campo organizado de trabalho em uma política pública apoiada em um sistema único, o Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS) se configurou desde sua instituição em 2004 como um dos principais postos de trabalho dos psicólogos inseridos em políticas públicas. O psicólogo compõe necessariamente as equipes ao lado dos assistentes sociais, em uma oferta de serviço multidisciplinar que visa o fortalecimento dos cidadãos como sujeito de direitos, através de um trabalho que favoreça o desenvolvimento da autonomia, o empoderamento e o protagonismo dos usuários da política pública, bem como o fortalecimento dos vínculos familiares e comunitários. O público-alvo do SUAS são as famílias, grupos, comunidades e indivíduos que estão com seus direitos violados ou em risco de serem violados, pessoas que vivenciam situação de vulnerabilidade social. Situado na Proteção Social Básica, o CRAS é considerado a porta de entrada do SUAS, atua na prevenção das situações de vulnerabilidade social e riscos sociais e sua principal oferta é o Serviço de Proteção e Atendimento Integral à Família (PAIF), tendo como prioridade de oferta de atendimento o trabalho com grupos. Partimos do pressuposto de que a especificidade do trabalho do psicólogo onde quer que esteja inserido é o trabalho com a subjetividade e, no nosso caso, com a intersubjetividade. Para a presente pesquisa, utilizamos como referencial teórico a psicanálise que compreende o sujeito do inconsciente como sujeito do grupo, cujos autores compreendem que a constituição do sujeito se dá a partir do vínculo e da intersubjetividade, tanto do ponto de vista da transmissão psíquica inter e transgeracional, quanto das diversas relações que estabelecemos ao longo da vida, onde somos constituídos mutuamente através das alianças inconscientes (Kaës) e do contrato narcísico (Aulagnier). Como metodologia, realizamos um grupo de acompanhamento familiar do PAIF, com duração de 14 encontros de uma hora e meia e a participação de 15 famílias, apoiados na técnica do grupo operativo (Pichon-Rivière). O grupo operativo é um dispositivo de trabalho psicossocial que considera o sujeito do vínculo integrado à sua realidade social e à produção grupal e tem potencial transformador através da centralidade na tarefa do grupo. Durante o processo grupal, observamos a relação entre as situações de violência vivenciadas pelas famílias em suas mais variadas formas, suas repetições, seus efeitos-afetos (medo, humilhação, vergonha, raiva, resignação) e a evasão escolar dos filhos. À medida que puderam criar um espaço psíquico compartilhado continente para elaboração psíquica dos emergentes grupais e reconhecimento de si como sujeito dos vínculos, puderam atribuir sentidos à condição de sujeito de direitos e superar alguns aspectos da situação de vulnerabilidade social que as trouxe ao CRAS. Assim, compreendemos que o trabalho do psicólogo no CRAS está relacionado com garantir o espaço de escuta, continência e elaboração psíquicas frente às questões sociais, onde a intersubjetividade e as produções subjetivas estejam legitimadas como parte fundamental do processo de fortalecimento do sujeito de direitosAbout the psychic work in the center of social assistance reference between the subject of rights and the subject of bond The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the work of the psychologists in the Center of Social Assistance Reference (CRAS). Since its implementation in 2004, the Social Assistance, as an organized field of work in a public policy supported by a single system (the Single System of Social Assistance - SUAS) has become one of the main work posts for psychologists inserted in public policies. The psychologist composes necessarily the teams together with the social assistants, offering a multidisciplinary service that aims at strengthening citizens as a subject of rights, through a work that promotes the development of autonomy, the empowering and the importance of the users of the political policy, as well as the strengthening of the family and community attachment. The target public of the SUAS is: families, groups, communities and individuals that have had their rights violated or that are in risk of being violated, people who have experienced situations of social vulnerability. Situated in the Basic Social Protection, CRAS is considered the door to SUAS, acting to prevent situations of social vulnerability and social risk, and the main service offered is the Protection and Whole Support to Families (PAIF), whose priority is to offer support to groups. It is assumed that the nature of the work of the psychologist wherever he/she is acting is the subjectivity and, in our case, the intersubjectivity. For the present research, we used as a theoretical reference the psychoanalysis that understands the subject of unconsciousness as a subject of the group, whose authors understand that the constitution of the subject starts from the bond and the intersubjectivity, from the point of view of the inter and transgenerational psychic transmission as well as the many relations that are established throughout life, where we are mutually constituted through unconscious alliances (Kaës) and from narcissistic contract (Aulagnier). As a methodology, we formed a family support group in PAIF which lasted 14 sessions of one hour and a half each and with the participation of 15 families, based on the operative group techniques (Pichon-Rivière). The operative group is a psychosocial action plan that considers the bond subject integrated to his/her social reality and to his/her group production and has a transforming potential due to its central role in the group. During the group process, we observed the relation between the situations of violence experienced by the families in many different ways, its repetitions, its effects-affects (fear, humiliation, shame, anger, resignation) and the school dropouts of kids. As long as the families could create a shared psychic space that guarantees the psychic elaboration of the group emergent and the recognition of the self as bond subject, families could ascribe meaning to the condition of subjects of rights and overcome some aspects of the situation of social vulnerability that led them to CRAS. This way, we understand that the work of the psychologist in CRAS is related to guaranteeing a place for listening, continence and psychic elaboration regarding social matters, where the intersubjectivity and the subjective productions are legitimated as fundamental parts of the strengthening of the subject of right
