    Duality of Function: Activation for Meaningless Nonwords and Semantic Codes in the Same Brain Areas

    No full text
    Studies of the neural substrates of semantic (word meaning) processing have typically focused on semantic manipulations, with less consideration for potential differences in difficulty across conditions. While the idea that particular brain regions can support multiple functions is widely accepted, studies of specific cognitive domains rarely test for co-location with other functions. Here we start with standard univariate analyses comparing words to meaningless nonwords, replicating our recent finding that this contrast can activate task-positive regions for words, and default-mode regions in the putative semantic network for nonwords, pointing to difficulty effects. Critically, this was followed up with a multivariate analysis to test whether the same areas activated for meaningless nonwords contained semantic information sufficient to distinguish high- from low-imageability words. Indeed, this classification was performed reliably better than chance at 75% accuracy. This is compatible with two non-exclusive interpretations. Numerous areas in the default-mode network are task-negative in the sense of activating for less demanding conditions, and the same areas contain information supporting semantic cognition. Therefore, while areas of the default mode network have been hypothesized to support semantic cognition, we offer evidence that these areas can respond to both domain-general difficulty effects, and to specific aspects of semantics.I paid the open access fee, so this article should be "open access" from the journal.Peer reviewe

    No full text
    Работа посвящена исследованию роли метафоры как средства манипулирования в политическом дискурсе, на примере дебатов между Хиллари Клинтон и Дональдом Трампом во время президентской кампании 2016 года. Автор анализирует использование метафор и их влияние на аудиторию, раскрывая механизмы манипуляции, которые лежат в основе такого использования. Работа имеет целью повысить информированность читателей и помочь им развить более осознанный подход к политическим сообщениям, основанный на анализе метафорического языка и его эффектах на аудиторию. Целью данного исследования является анализ роли метафоры в политическом дискурсе, а также раскрытие механизмов манипуляции, которые связаны с использованием метафор. В исследовании автор стремится более глубоко понять, как политические лидеры могут использовать метафоры для воздействия на аудиторию, формирования определенных образов и манипуляции мнениями людей. В результате исследования автор выявил ряд ключевых результатов. Во-первых, оба кандидата активно использовали метафоры в своих выступлениях и дебатах. Хиллари Клинтон использовала метафоры, связанные с образованием и экономикой, чтобы подчеркнуть свою экспертизу и стабильность. Дональд Трамп же в своих метафорах обращался к насилию, угрозам и созданию образа «американского героя». Во-вторых, метафоры, используемые обоими кандидатами, имели сильное эмоциональное воздействие на аудиторию. Они создавали определенные ассоциации, вызывали эмоциональные реакции и убеждали слушателей в правоте высказываемых идей и политических взглядов. В-третьих, анализ метафор позволил выявить механизмы манипуляции, используемые в политическом дискурсе. Оба кандидата использовали метафоры, чтобы создать определенные образы, усилить эмоциональные реакции и вызвать у избирателей чувство кризиса и необходимости перемен. Исследование подчеркивает важность осознания и критического анализа метафорического языка в политическом дискурсе. Понимание механизмов манипуляции при помощи метафор позволяет развить более информированное и осознанное отношение к политическим сообщениям и повысить критическую грамотность восприятия политической риторики.This paper is devoted to the study of the role of metaphor as a means of manipulation in political discourse, using the example of debates between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign. The author analyzes the use of metaphors and their impact on the audience, revealing the mechanisms of manipulation that underlie such use. The work aims to raise readers' awareness and help them develop a more informed approach to political messaging based on an analysis of metaphorical language and its effects on audiences. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of metaphor in political discourse, as well as to reveal the mechanisms of manipulation that are associated with the use of metaphors. In the study, the author seeks to better understand how political leaders can use metaphors to influence the audience, form certain images and manipulate people's opinions. As a result of the study, the author identified several key findings. First, both candidates actively used metaphors in their speeches and debates. Hillary Clinton used metaphors related to education and the economy to emphasize her expertise and stability. Donald Trump, on the other hand, in his metaphors turned to violence, threats, and creating an image of an "American hero. Second, the metaphors used by both candidates had a strong emotional impact on the audience. They created certain associations, evoked emotional reactions, and persuaded listeners of the validity of the ideas and political views expressed. Third, the analysis of metaphors revealed the manipulation mechanisms used in political discourse. Both candidates used metaphors to create certain images, enhance emotional reactions, and evoke a sense of crisis and the need for change among voters. The study highlights the importance of awareness and critical analysis of metaphorical language in political discourse. Understanding the mechanisms of manipulation through metaphors allows us to develop a more informed and conscious attitude toward political messages and to increase the critical literacy of the perception of political rhetoric

    Sport and education: Sport in secondary schools for all or for some?

    No full text
    The place of sport in schools has always been controversial and struggled to gain legitimacy and acceptance as a part of the formal curriculum. While some commentators argue sport has no place in the curriculum, others claim it is too important to be left to chance and, like other aspects of education, it can and should be pursued for its own intrinsic value. For example, Siedentop (1982, p. 2) stated, 'if sport is equal to other ludic [movement] forms (art, drama, music and dance) both for the individual and the culture; and if more appropriate participation in sport represents a positive step in cultural evolution then sport in education is justified'. From another but still supportive perspective, Arnold (1997, p. I) claimed, 'sport is a trans-cultural valued practice ... and despite its corruption from time to time it is inherently concerned with concepts, ethical principles and moral values which are universally applicable and justified as a form of education

    Physical Activity and Executive Functioning in College Students

    abstract: ABSTRACT PHYSCIAL ACTIVITY AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING IN COLLEGE STUDENTS INTRODUCTION: Regular physical activity may increase neurological development, which has been shown to increase cognitive functioning in older adults and those with dementia. Studies have also shown physical activity and exercise may positively affect executive functioning in children. Little is known about the influence of physical activity on executive functioning in college students between the ages of 18-21 years, a population that is traditionally thought of as healthy. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the association between physical activity and executive functioning in college-aged students. We hypothesize that regular physical activity is positively associated with executive functioning scores and that this association is independent of adiposity. METHODS: Twenty males and 29 females (19.5 ± 0.1 yrs. old) participated in this study. Physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Executive function was assessed by Stroop Color and Word Association Test (Stroop) and Trail Making Test A & B. A verbal ability test (analogies, synonyms, antonyms) was given in order to control for intelligence. Body composition was determined by a Tanita TBF-300 Body Composition Analyzer. RESULTS: Partial correlations between physical activity/inactivity measures and measures of executive functioning were generally small (r-values &#8804; 0.2) and not significant. However, there was a significant inverse correlation between log moderate physical activity minutes per week and Stroop interference scores (r=0.50, p=0.01). Also, a trend towards significance was noted for the correlation between sitting minutes per week and Stroop interference scores (r=0.4 p=0.08) CONCLUSION: These results suggest that in college students, moderate physical activity is inversely associated with executive functioning while sitting time may be positively associated with executive functioning. These findings are in contrast to previous studies in children and older adults, and may indicate a unique relationship between physical activity/inactivity and executive functioning in college students. Future studies to further examine this population in greater depth are warranted.Dissertation/ThesisM.S. Exercise and Wellness 201

    Memorable political messages : rethinking the role of conversation in public opinion

    No full text
    The focus of this dissertation research was to investigate students' memorable political messages. The memorable messages literature (Knapp, Stohl, & Reardon, 1981) has demonstrated that within domains other than politics, people have recalled messages that serve as a guide for their beliefs, attitudes, or behavior within that domain. This study extended this logic to the political realm in an effort to identify the content of political messages reported as memorable. By understanding what types of political messages people identify as being memorable or important, and through knowing characteristics about the source of these messages, more can be known regarding student's political development. Guidance from Burleson's (2009) message centered approach to interpersonal communication was used to deduce whether certain types of messages, coming from certain types of sources, were more likely to come from politically engaged participants. Thus, relationships between message substance, message source characteristics, and political engagement variables were also tested. In order to obtain students' memorable message, 191 participants were solicited from communication courses and asked to complete an online survey regarding their political opinions. After memorable messages were explained, students were asked to record their political memorable message if one existed. After students reported their message, several follow-up questions assessed including measures of message valance, the identity and role of the source, the channel through which the message was transmitted, and the perceived credibility and similarity of the source. Classification of memorable political messages was accomplished through an author-generated system and though a card sorting task (additional N = ??) and multidimensional scaling. This method led to the creation of a classification scheme for the content of memorable messages and tested whether message and source characteristics associated with political outcomes of interest including: scores on a political knowledge test, a political participation index, self-reported political interest, and an index created from these three measures representing a general engagement index. Results from this dissertation research suggest: a) a vast majority (98%) of students report having a memorable political message, b) the content of these memorable messages can be classified into ten content areas, c) students are more likely to report positive messages that originate from the mass media, and d) students who have the highest levels of political engagement tend to be those reporting a negative message from a non-credible source, or those reporting a positive message from a highly credible source. Although the latter relationship was predicted, the finding that negative messages were consistently reported from those interested and engaged in politics has several practical and theoretical implications discussed through the course of this manuscript.Thesis (Ph.

    Textual fingerprints of risk of war

    No full text
    We compute the rate of textual signals of risk of war recognizable in series of consecutive political speeches about a disputed issue serious enough to entail an international conflict. The speeches concern Iran's nuclear program. We trace textual signals forewarning of risks of war that reactions to this affair lead to. The thrust of the textual analysis rests on the interplay of affiliation and power words in continuous texts, following D. C. McClelland's model for anticipating wars. The speeches are those of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, US Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton, Iranian Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Prefiguring a military confrontation before it occurs involves structuring information from unstructured data. Despite such imperfect knowledge, by the end of January 2012, our results show a receding risk of war on the Iranian side, but an increasing risk on the American one, while remaining ambiguous on the Israeli one. © The Author 2013.

    RISK-BASED LICENSING AS LICENSING REFORM IN INDONESIA BASED ON GOVERNMENT REGULATION NUMBER 5 THE YEAR 2021

    No full text
    &nbsp; &nbsp;The purpose of this paper is that the author tries to explain the birth of the concept of risk-based licensing (RBA) in Indonesia which is regulated in Government Regulation Number 5 of 2021. The author elaborates on the transformation of the concept of risk-based approach license and its role in replacing the previous licensing concept. The author also analyzes this policy more deeply through the ROCCIPI Method to find weaknesses and provide recommendations. Licensing in Indonesia so far still has many weaknesses, including regulations that are not yet harmonious, the difficulty of licensing bureaucracy, and low investment realization. With this, the government carried out deregulation and debureaucratization to give birth to licensing reform in Indonesia. The government introduced a new licensing concept called the Risk-Based Approach or RBA which changed the licensed-based concept to risk-based. Based on the scope of research, in writing this manuscript, the author uses a normative juridical research method. The conclusion that comes from this paper is that the RBA is a bold step taken by the government, and so far it has had a good impact in terms of accelerating the issuance of permits. On the other hand, there are still many components that need to be maximally improved by the government such as the readiness of the OSS RBA system, readiness of human resources, and also improving the quality of public services so that licensing reform in Indonesia is not just an idea but can be fully realized through this regulation
