Coca chewing for exercise: hormonal and metabolic responses of nonhabitual chewers. J. Appl. Physiol. 81(5): 1901–1907, 1996.—To determine the effects of acute coca use on the hormonal and metabolic responses to exercise, 12 healthy nonhabitual coca users were submitted twice to steady-state exercise (∼75% maximal O2 uptake). On one occasion, they were asked to chew 15 g of coca leaves 1 h before exercise, whereas on the other occasion, exercise was performed after 1 h of chewing a sugar-free chewing gum. Plasma epinephrine, norepinephrine, insulin, glucagon, and metabolites (glucose, lactate, glycerol, and free fatty acids) were determined at rest before and after coca chewing and during the 5th, 15th, 30th, and 60th min of exercise. Simultaneously to these determinations, cardiorespiratory variables (heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, oxygen uptake, and respiratory gas exchange ratio) were also measured. At rest, coca chewing had no effect on plasma hormonal and metabolic levels except for a significantly reduced insulin concentration. During exercise, the oxygen uptake, heart rate, and respiratory gas exchange ratio were significantly increased in the coca-chewing trial compared with the control (gum-chewing) test. The exercise-induced drop in plasma glucose and insulin was prevented by prior coca chewing. These results contrast with previous data obtained in chronic coca users who display during prolonged submaximal exercise an exaggerated plasma sympathetic response, an enhanced availability and utilization of fat (R. Favier, E. Caceres, H. Koubi, B. Sempore, M. Sauvain, and H. Spielvogel. J. Appl. Physiol. 80: 650–655, 1996). We conclude that, whereas coca chewing might affect glucose homeostasis during exercise, none of the physiological data provided by this study would suggest that acute coca chewing in nonhabitual users could enhance tolerance to exercise. </jats:p

    Motive und Motivationen als Grundlage menschlichen Verhaltens – Überlegungen zu einer integrativen Motivationstheorie

    No full text
    Die Untersuchungen der Autorin zur Motivation führen zu dem Schluss, dass Grundmotive im Menschen genetisch angelegt sind. Diese sind implizit in seinem Menschen- und Weltbild vorhanden und werden in situativen Motivationsprozessen aktualisiert. Das Motiv der Hilfeleistung, das in therapeutischen oder beraterischen Prozessen beim Therapeuten aktiviert ist, findet ein Gegenüber im Motiv der Suche nach Hilfe beim Klienten. Beide Seiten folgen einem, von der Autorin dargestellten intersubjektiven Motivationsprozess.The author’s research focuses on the origin and development of motives and moti¬vation with special emphasis on the motive of helpfulness in therapy or consulting. Helpfulness is an essential of the human character. It determines our concepts of the world and of mankind. From an integrative point of view the author discusses the origins of motives in man and develops a structural model of the process of motivation and behaviour of both, client and therapist.https://www.fpi-publikation.de/polyloge/13-2012-jaekel-brigitte-motive-und-motivationen-als-grundlage-menschlichen-verhaltens/peerReviewedpublishedVersio

    &nbsp;THE VIENNESE PERIOD IN ADOLF HITLER&rsquo;S LIFE AS PRESENTED BY BRIGITTE HAMANN AND AUGUST KUBIZEKThe article discusses the literature and the findings concerning the relatively least explored questions concerning Adolf Hitler, namely those of his youth. As the author stresses, just over a&nbsp;dec&shy;ade ago Polish readers interested in the Hitler phenomenon knew much less than they do now. Thanks to several books recently published in Poland they have had a chance to considerably expand their knowledge. The present author points to two figures, Brigitte Hamann and August Kubizek, focusing on the similarities and differences in their approach to this period of Hitler&rsquo;s life.&nbsp;THE VIENNESE PERIOD IN ADOLF HITLER&rsquo;S LIFE AS PRESENTED BY BRIGITTE HAMANN AND AUGUST KUBIZEKThe article discusses the literature and the findings concerning the relatively least explored questions concerning Adolf Hitler, namely those of his youth.

    Kayser, Bengt, Roland Favier, Guido Ferretti, Dominique Desplanches, Hilde Spielvogel, Harry Koubi, Brigitte Sempore, and Hans Hoppeler. Lactate and epinephrine during exercise in altitude natives. J. Appl. Physiol. 81(6): 2488–2494, 1996.—We tested the hypothesis that the reported low blood lactate accumulation ([La]) during exercise in altitude-native humans is refractory to hypoxia-normoxia transitions by investigating whether acute changes in inspired O2 fraction ([Formula: see text]) affect the [La] vs. power output (W˙) relationship or, alternatively, as reported for lowlanders, whether changes in [La] vs. W˙ on changes in[Formula: see text] are related to changes in blood epinephrine concentration ([Epi]). Altitude natives [ n = 8, age 24 ± 1 (SE) yr, body mass 62 ± 3 kg, height 167 ± 2 cm] in La Paz, Bolivia (3,600 m) performed incremental exercise with two legs and one leg in chronic hypoxia and acute normoxia (AN). Submaximal one- and two-leg O2 uptake (V˙o 2) vs.W˙ relationships were not altered by[Formula: see text]. AN increased two-leg peak V˙o 2 by 10% and peakW˙ by 7%. AN paradoxically decreased one-leg peak V˙o 2 by 7%, whereas peak W˙ remained the same. The [La] vs. W˙ relationships were similar to those reported in unacclimatized lowlanders. There was a shift to the right on AN, and maximum [La] was reduced by 7 and 8% for one- and two-leg exercises, respectively. [Epi] and [La] were tightly related (mean r = 0.81) independently of[Formula: see text]. Thus normoxia attenuated the increment in both [La] and [Epi] as a function of W˙, whereas the correlation between [La] and [Epi] was unaffected. These data suggest loose linkage of glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation under influence from [Epi]. In conclusion, high-altitude natives appear to be not fundamentally different from lowlanders with regard to the effect of acute changes in[Formula: see text] on [La] during exercise. </jats:p

    Les paradoxes de Linguet

    No full text
    Brigitte Burmeister : Linguet's paradoxes. The social theories of Linguet (1736-1794) combine lucid criticism of 18th-century capitalism with pessimistic, even reactionary conclusions. In his Theory of Civil laws (1767), a critique of the Esprit des lois, Linguet begins with a description of the suffering caused by social inequality, to finish with a plan of reform which rejects any social change. Taking as a starting-point two " paradoxes " of Linguet — his apologies for slavery and for oriental despotism — the author demonstrates how these theories reveal the limitations of Enlightenment ideology by reflecting the contradictions of capitalistic society, insoluble within the framework of bourgeois emancipation. This results in the case of Linguet, not in a communistic Utopia but in an equally utopie, and yet reactionary, rejection of Enlightenment thought.Burmeister Brigitte. Les paradoxes de Linguet. In: Dix-huitième Siècle, n°7, 1975. pp. 147-155

    Brigitte Hamann, Hitlers Edeljude: Das Leben des Armenarztes Eduard Bloch

    No full text
    In this extraordinary book, Brigitte Hamann recounts the life and times of Hitler’s Jewish childhood physician, Dr. Eduard Bloch (1872-1945). Relying on meticulous research in Austria, Germany, and the United States, the author provides insights into the ambiguous feelings of admiration and respect that characterized the relationship of the Jewish doctor and the Nazi dictator throughout their lives. Hamann not only sweeps away misconceptions about Hitler’s youth, but in lucid, often gripping,..

    Les Prologues de la trilogie marseillaise de Jean-Claude Izzo et l'ethos auctorial

    No full text
    I tre romanzi della Trilogia marsigliese di Jean-Claude Izzo presentano la medesima struttura narrativa (Prologo, indagine ed Epilogo nei primi due romanzi). I prologhi hanno la caratteristica di mettere nel margine la figura del detective protagonista Fabio Montale e diventano il luogo privilegiato dove l’ethos autoriale (“implied author”, W.Booth) riesce a collocare in modo simbolico, a dispetto di un contesto sociale mafioso criminale, un suo sistema di valori da ritrovare nel passato e nell’affettività, quel mito antico che fa di Marsiglia o Massilia la città dell’ospitalità e del superamento delle differenze e delle discriminazioni razziali. The three novels of Jean-Claude Izzo’ trilogie marseillaise present the same narrative structure (Prologue, investigation chapters and Epilogue for only two first novels). The Prologues features are to emarginate the detective Fabio Montale and to stand out the “implied author” (W.Booth) who discloses ethical human values and affectivity among a desperate Mafia-like character society, and revitalizes the Massilia Myth, the city of the hospitality and the differences and racial discrimination overcoming
