Evidence of blocking with geometric cues in a virtual watermaze
No full textThree computer based experiments, testing human participants in a non-immersive virtual watermaze task, used a blocking design to assess whether two sets of geometric cues would compete in a manner described by associative models of learning. In stage 1, participants were required to discriminate between visually distinct platforms. In stage 2, additional spatial information was provided by the shape or the color of the walls of the pool. In a test trial, the platforms were removed and the spatial knowledge acquired regarding the position of the platform was assessed. Experimental groups were compared against control groups which did not receive stage 1 training. The unique color of the correct platform, in Experiment 1 and 3, disrupted learning about the colored walls but not the geometry of the pool. In Experiment 2, the correct platform was identifiable from its position within the three platform array. Learning the relative position of the correct platform within the array disrupted learning about its position relative to the geometry of the pool, but not to the colored walls. The results suggest that learning the position of a goal in relation to the geometry of the environment can be blocked but only by an alternative geometric cue
The relative influence of place and direction in the Morris water task
No full textThe present study evaluated the generality of directional responding (Hamilton, Akers, Weisend, & Sutherland, 2007) in the Morris water task and attempted to identify methods that would yield a preference for navigation to the precise spatial location of an escape platform in the room. Four experiments evaluated the effects of training with the pool in a fixed location by repositioning the pool for a no-platform probe trial such that the absolute spatial location of the platform and the relative location of the platform within the pool (to which a directional response would occur) were in opposite quadrants. Two experiments attempted to explicitly train navigation to an absolute location in the room by repositioning the pool
during training while keeping the platform at the same location in the room. A preference for directional responding over navigation to the precise location of the platform was observed across a wide range of conditions including when rats were given extensive training (240 trials; Experiment 1), only given
platform placement experience in the absence of active swim training (Experiment 2), trained to navigate to multiple platform locations in a moving platform variant of the task (Experiment 3), and when animals were trained to navigate to a particular location regardless of the position of the apparatus in the room
(Experiments 4 - 5). A preference for navigation to the absolute spatial location of the platform was observed only when the salience of the pool was reduced by filling it to the top with water (Experiment 6)

Germanismen im Verpolnischungswörterbuch von E.S. Kortowicz (1891)
No full textOut of concern for language ‘purity’ ‘Polonizing’ dictionaries/dictionaries of Polish equivalents were published in Poland, whose authors (language purists) aimed to replace words/expressions of foreign origin with native-language equivalents (or with assimilated loanwords). Besides Latinisms or Gallicisms under criticism were also German loanwords. The main focus of the paper is on the presentation of the dictionary by E.S. Kortowicz (1891), in which the author seeks to eliminate Germanisms from the Polish language.W trosce o „czystość” językową w Polsce tworzone były „słowniki spolszczające”/,,słowniki spolszczeń”, w których autorzy (puryści językowi) próbowali zastępować wyrazy/wyrażenia pochodzenia obcego rodzimymi ekwiwalentami (lub zasymilowanymi zapożyczeniami). Obok latynizmów czy galicyzmów piętnowano w nich często zapożyczenia z języka niemieckiego. Centralną część publikacji stanowi opis pracy E.S. Kortowicza (1891), w której autor dąży do wyeliminowania germanizmów z języka polskiego

"Introduzione agli Africanismi in America"
No full textL’affermazione della cultura black nel Nuovo Mondo, disposta in un registro definito dal filo rosso del métissage e dell’ibridazione nella sua accezione più ampia, è presentata in un overview d’introduzione agli africanismi in America in cui confluiscono i temi di fondo degli studi afroamericani - dal middle passage ai sistemi familiari, dalle modalità relazionali fino alle forme di percezione di sé e alle dinamiche di accettazione/dissenso dell’appartenenza, dai movimenti per il riconoscimento dei diritti civili alle prospettive antropologiche di studio passate e attuali e ai Black Studies, fino a includere i Neri nel cinema e nella pubblicità e il cinema nero americano. (Saggio nel volume Black Inc. a cura di E.S. Tiberini, corredato da due Dvd: “Africanismi in America” a cura di C. Nobili e “Beyond Boudaries and Unframed. The Art of Fatimah Tuggar” a cura di M. Lightsmith). The assertion of black culture in the New World is examined through an anthropological angle that privileges the aspects of metissage and hybridization: the overview of the “africanisms” in America here offered span the middle passage, the family systems, the identity and self-representation dynamics and the civil rights movements. It also includes the Blacks’ portrait in the cinema, the TV and the commercial advertisement. The analysis carried on is based on the perspective of the classical anthropological studies and on the more recent Black Studies. (The essay constitutes the first half of the volume Black Inc. edited by the Author and has 2 DvD attached: “Africanisms in America” edited by C. Nobili and “Beyond Boudaries and Unframed.

Gloss on the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights of 25 October 2018 in case E.S v. Austria, appl. no. 38450/12
No full textThe gloss deals with the judgment issued by the ECtHR on 25 October 2018 concerning freedom
of expression as provided for in Article 10 ECHR. In the case of E.S. v. Austria the ECtHR
agreed with domestic courts that the applicant’s statements concerning the marriage life style
of Muhammad were “inciting hatred or religious intolerance” read in the light of Article 188
of the Austrian Criminal Code. During the public debate, the applicant made a reference to
“paedophilia”, while talking about 56-year-old Muhammad having sexual intercourse with
his 9-year-old wife Aisha. The main thesis of the author of this gloss is contrary to the ECtHR
judges’ viewpoint, especially in the context of the facts of the case and the previous Strasbourg
case law. Going further, the author presents her fears that the visible and ongoing Islamisation
of Europe starts to have its potential impact on the judicial authorities and their attitudes in
cases connected with some sensitive issues of Islam. The author’s opinion concerns both the
domestic and regional courts’ attitudes.Glosa dotyczy wyroku wydanego przez Europejski Trybunał Praw Człowieka (ETPCz) w dniu

sądów krajowych, które uznały stwierdzenia powódki dotyczące stylu pożycia małżeńskiego
Mahometa jako „wzniecające nienawiść lub nietolerancję religijną” w rozumieniu art. 188
austriackiego kodeksu karnego. W trakcie debaty publicznej powódka nawiązała do „pedofilii”, rozważając fakt seksualnego współżycia 56-letniego Mahometa z jego 9-letnią żoną Aiszą.
Główna teza autorki niniejszej glosy jest odmienna, szczególnie w kontekście okoliczności
analizowanej sprawy oraz w świetle dotychczasowej strasburskiej linii orzeczniczej. W dalszej
kolejności, autorka wyraża swoje obawy o to, że widoczna i postępująca islamizacja Europy
zaczyna wywierać potencjalny wpływ na władze sądowe i ich postawy w sprawach dotyczących szczególnie drażliwych zagadnień Islamu. W opinii autorki zjawisko to dotyczy postaw
zarówno sądów krajowych, jak i regionalnych
