Tabula Rasa and Human Nature
No full textIt is widely believed that the philosophical concept of 'tabula rasa' originates with Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding and refers to a state in which a child is as formless as a blank slate. Given that both these beliefs are entirely false, this article will examine why they have endured from the eighteenth century to the present. Attending to the history of philosophy, psychology, psychiatry and feminist scholarship it will be shown how the image of the tabula rasa has been used to signify an originary state of formlessness, against which discourses on the true nature of the human being can differentiate their position. The tabula rasa has operated less as a substantive position than as a whipping post. However, it will be noted that innovations in psychological theory over the past decade have begun to undermine such narratives by rendering unintelligible the idea of an 'originary' state of human nature

Evaluation of Chemotherapy Effectiveness in Castration–Resistant Prostate Cancer
No full textAuthor: Rasa Muduraitė Title: Evaluation of Chemotherapy Effectiveness in Castration–Resistant Prostate Cancer Aim: to evaluate effectiveness of docetaxel chemotherapy in everyday clinical practice and compare the results with randomized clinical trials. Objectives: 1. Evaluate demographic data and disease characteristics among patients treated with docetaxel chemotherapy. 2. Evaluate overall and disease-specific survival. 3. Analyse used chemotherapy features. Methods: information was obtained from retrospectively analysed patients’ case histories. The start of first-line docetaxel chemotherapy was regarded as the diagnosis date of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Time period from the start of chemotherapy until the death of patient or censoring (end of observation) date (02/08/2017) was used for overall survival (OS). Data were entered and evaluated using MSO Excel 2007 and SPSS 22.4 programmes. OS was calculated using Kaplan-Meyer method, hazard ratio was evaluated using Cox regression. Participants: 68 patients that had been treated during 2008-2016 period because of metastasized CRPC and have been administered first-line docetaxel chemotherapy. Results: median age of patients was 70 years. Median of time from prostate cancer diagnosis date to CRPC development was 50.5 mos. Median number of applied docetaxel cycles was 8 (range 1-10). Progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.5 months (median), overall and cancer-specific survival - 20 months (95% CI 13.7 – 26.3). The one-year survival rate was 65%, 3-year – 24%. It was found that patients, which received second-line systemic cancer specific treatment, had an 84% lower hazard death ratio (hazard ratio (HR) 0.16; 95% CI 0.07 – 0.41) in comparison to patients that did not receive second-line treatment (p<0.001). Second line treatment using cabazitaxel lowered the risk of death by 84% (HR 0.16; 95% CI 0.04 – 0.68) compared with not using systemic treatment (p=0.013), treatment with abiraterone reduced the risk by 84% (SR 0.16; 95% CI 0.07 – 0.41) compared with not using systemic treatment (p<0.001). Conclusions: compared to TAX 327 trial, our patients were older and had been administered fewer docetaxel cycles, but had a better overall survival. Second line systemic treatment using cabazitaxel or abiraterone had a positive influence to patients’ lifespan

The representative identity of Baradinskienės creative work is researched using complex, contextual, comparative and artistic analysis. The aim of the study is to pinpoint the connections of uniqueness of her work, creative name and the attributes of presenting her work. Baradinskienės creative work came to prominence during a complicated time for Lithuanian design. The search for a unique creative identity, the publicity of design in Lithuania and aspects of presenting a newly restored independent Lithuanian state abroad became especially important. Rasa Baradinskienė, a freelance designer, graduated from Kaunas Applied Arts School with speciality in textile and embroidery (1985-1987). From 1988-1993 she studied at the Design department of Vilnius Academy of Arts. She created the "RASA deSIGN" brand in 2002. This creative brand was contrived when Rasa started participating in international exhibitions and the need for distinctive and concise presentation arose. Four areas of work are noted in the designers biography: projects of furniture and lights fixtures, accessories projects, and graphics in the interior and design concepts. The outstanding features of Baradinskienės design are: transformation (construction of objects), harmonious contrast (creative expression), feelings (emotional influence) and signs (visual perception). The design motive allows the artist to connect emotionally to the viewer of the object. It acquires a symbolic quality in Barandinskienės work and becomes the sign spanning all areas of her work. The "Sign" is confirmed by the main anthropomorphic motives of her works - smiley face, hand and doll. Their function is utilitarian and the aesthetics are based on a positive emotional response. In this way the designer creates and develops the idea of emotive design. One of the segments of presentation of creative work and brand identity is Rasa Baradinskienės creative output the exhibitions which have been especially numerous. She has participated in more than 50 exhibitions in Lithuania and abroad and has organised various exhibitions herself. The design objects presented at the shows are often created for exhibitions and design events and not commissioned by manufacturers. This way the possibilities for individual artistic expression were opened and the creative brand strengthened

Rhythm embodied: Training Rasa in Hindustani tabla?
No full textAs Hindustani music (North Indian classical) and the performance of tabla moves outside of its South Asian origins the underlying aesthetic, rasa, and the structure of the musical system travels across and between musical and cultural borders informing and shaping the performative context. To what extent does the rasa concept, referred to as a ‘tasting’ experience, dominant in the arts of India, affect the global art of tabla? Often overlooked by scholars, and confused with the process of bhava (emotion) by performers, the concept and application of rasa continues to be the dominant aesthetic principle in what we have come to know globally as tabla soloing. I argue that it is in the phenomenological experience of music training and music making that we find a possible connection between the practice of rasa and the embodiment of bhava (performer emotion).Peer reviewedFinal article publishedHindustani musictablarasaexperienceemotionembodimen
