Abstract:
Objective: To compare the effect of the Chignon ankle-foot orthosis on gait versus a standard ankle-foot orthosis. Method: A multicentre randomized study was conducted in seven rehabilitation centres. Hemiplegic patients were recruited after unilateral stroke lasting less than six months. Exclusion criteria were: impossibility to stand for 10 seconds; ankle passive dorsiflexion <5 degrees with knee flexed to 90 degrees; triceps spasticity ≥3/4 on the Ashworth modified scale; diseases that might impair active participation in the study. Thirteen patients were randomized to the Chignon group and 15 to the control group. Included patients were given a standard ankle-foot orthosis or Chignon ankle-foot orthosis. The Chignon ankle-foot orthosis is an articulated double-stopped custom-made orthosis with elements to assist dorsiflexion and plantar flexion. Gait speed improvement (ten-metre test), kinematic assessment, and functional scales were assessed. Results: Gain ratio of walking speed with the orthosis increased significantly more in the Chignon group than in the control group at day 0 (27.2 ± 36% versus −0.8 ± 17%; P = 0.006), day 30 (39.9 ± 19% versus 7.5 ± 17%; P = 0.0004) and day 90 (44.6 ± 27% versus 17.1 ± 0.3%; P = 0.04). There was also a significant improvement in kinematic parameters and spasticity in the Chignon group. Conclusion: Early compensation of distal motor deficiency by the Chignon ankle-foot orthosis improves the immediate gait of hemiplegics more than the standard ankle-foot orthosis and seems to modify motor recovery processes in the legs after stroke.

Abstract:
Chignolin is an artificially designed ten-residue (GYDPETGTWG) folded peptide, which is the smallest protein and provides a good template for protein folding. In this work, we completed four explicit water molecular dynamics simulations of Chignolin folding using GROMOS and OPLS-AA force fields from extended initial states without any experiment informations. The four-folding free energy landscapes of the peptide has been drawn. The folded state of Chignolin has been successfully predicated based on the free energy landscapes. The four independent simulations gave similar results. (i) The four free energy landscapes have common characters. They are fairly smooth, barrierless, funnel-like and downhill without intermediate state, which consists with the experiment. (ii) The different extended initial structures converge at similar folded structures with the lowest free energy under GROMOS and OPLS-AA force fields. In the GROMOS force field, the backbone RMSD of the folded structures from the NMR native structure of Chignolin is only 0.114 nm, which is a stable structure in this force field. In the OPLS-AA force field, the similar results have been obtained. In addition, the smallest RMSD structure is in better agreement with the NMR native structure but unlikely stable in the force field.

Abstract:
We apply the non-Markov-type analysis of state-to-state transitions to nearly microsecond molecular dynamics (MD) simulation data at a folding temperature of a small artificial protein, chignolin, and we found that the time scales obtained are consistent with our previous result using the weighted ensemble simulations, which is a general path-sampling method to extract the kinetic properties of molecules. Previously, we also applied diffusion map (DM) analysis, which is one of a manifold of learning techniques, to the same trajectory of chignolin in order to cluster the conformational states and found that DM and relaxation mode analysis give similar results for the eigenvectors. In this paper, we divide the same trajectory into shorter pieces and further apply DM to such short-length trajectories to investigate how the obtained eigenvectors are useful to characterize the conformational change of chignolin.

Abstract:
AbstractAndrew Chignell recently proposed an original reconstruction of Kant's ‘Only Possible Argument’ for the existence of God. Chignell claims that what motivates the ‘Grounding Premise’ of Kant's proof, ‘real possibility must be grounded in actuality’, is the requirement that the predicates of a really possible thing must be ‘really harmonious’, i.e. compatible in an extra-logical or metaphysical sense. I take issue with Chignell's reconstruction. First, the pre-Critical Kant does not present ‘real harmony’ as a general condition of real possibility. Second, the real harmony requirement is not what motivates the ‘Grounding Premise’ of the proof. Instead, this premise is sufficiently motivated by what Chignell labels the ‘content’ requirement. Finally, Kant's downgrading of the proof in his Critical period is not based on a concern regarding the real harmony of the predicates of God, but on his Critical restrictions on cognition in general and modal cognition in particular.

Abstract:
In a recent article in this journal Andrew Chignell assesses attempts by Marilyn McCord Adams and Eleonore Stump to resolve the problem that infant suffering poses for theistic belief, concluding that while the theodicy of each is inadequate in its current form, both can be satisfactorily amended. I argue that (1) Chignell fails to show that the theodicy of either Adams or Stump is inadequate and that (2) since Chignell's revisions are based on assumptions about God and evil held by few, such revisions are of little value as responses to the actual challenge infant suffering poses for theistic belief.

Full text
Abstract:
Au travers de cinq examens de passage de grade de cinquième dan, c'est la didactique de l'Aikidô, telle qu'elle est conçue dans la mouvance du maitre Kobayashi Hirokazu (1929-1998), que nous interrogeons. L'étude du système et du cadre didactiques permet de mettre en avant les dimensions rituelle, psychosomatique et langagière qui s'y interpénètrent. Bruner, se référant aux travaux de Goodman, insiste sur une certaine idée du constructivisme qui ne conçoit pas une réalité unique mais reconnaît une pluralité de « réalités psychologiques », fruits de l'interaction entre chaque esprit et le monde qui l'entoure. Pour Vygotski, la communication entre sujets constitue le fondement primordial de l'émergence de leur pensée. En nous inscrivant dans les cadres théoriques issus du sillage des travaux de ces deux chercheurs, nous cherchons à décrire l'examen de passage de grade non pas uniquement comme peut le percevoir et le comprendre l'observateur mais en nous intéressant à la manière dont chaque participant a vécu l'échange créateur et s'en est nourri. Pour cela, nous utilisons un outil méthodologique particulier, le métarécit, où la description ethnologique se fonde sur des entretiens d'explicitation au sens de Vermersch. Nous vérifions de cette manière que le sujet apprenant aikidoka pénètre au coeur d'un processus d'apprentissage dont les effets ne se limitent pas à la discipline en elle-même mais recouvrent singulièrement l'ensemble des contextes familial, social et professionnel au sein desquels il se meut. Motivé avant tout par une recherche de développement personnel, l'aikidoka trouve dans sa pratique un cheminement possible pour mener cette quête
The didactics of Aikidô as it is taught in the line of Master Kobashi Hirokazu (1929-1998 ) is analysed through the five examinations taking place for each dan grade. The ritualistic, psychosomatic and linguistic aspects at work are brought to the fore when studying the didactical setting and progression of the examinations. Bruner, referring to Goodman, lays emphasis on a constructivist approach that does not consider reality as unique but that rather promotes the notion of a plurality of "psychological realities" resulting from the interrelations between every individual and their surrounding world. According to Vygotski, communication between subjects is the necessary basis for their own thinking to emerge. Using the theoretical framework of these researches the examination of grades are described not merely in the way the observer can see and understand them but also by focusing on how the different persons involved have lived these enriching moments of creative exchange. A particular methodological tool is then used : meta-account, in which ethnological descriptions are based on explanatory interviews as Vermersch has developed them. It is thus shown how the student in Aikidô, or aikidoka, enters a didactical system that fosters, through learning stages provided by the teacher, the elaboration of personal thinking and of its related behaviours that extend beyond the discipline of Aikidô and have implications in his or her familial, social and professional background. The students in Aikidô, as they are motivated by their wish for personal development, find in their practice a way that renders their quest possible

Dissertação de Mestrado em Química Medicinal apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia
O estudo de pequenos peptídeos tem vindo a mostrar-se bastante relevante para uma melhor compreensão do processo de folding (enrolamento) proteico, pois estes pequenos fragmentos podem ser fulcrais na condução deste processo de enrolamento. Assim, estas sequências de aminoácidos podem ser retiradas de proteínas e realizar o seu folding numa solução aquosa e consequentemente adquirir a sua estrutura nativa típica. Além disso, são também bastante importantes para o estudo de colapsos hidrofóbicos, da formação de pontes de hidrogénio intramoleculares e para o estudo do empacotamento de cadeias laterais. Motivos como hélices-α e ganchos-β são muitas vezes utilizados nesta área da ciência, sendo que estes últimos são os mais simples de caracterizar.O peptídeo Chignolin é a estrutura mais pequena em gancho-β conhecida que é solúvel em água. É constituído por 10 resíduos de aminoácidos (GYDPETGTWG) e embora ainda não se conheça bem a sua cinética de folding julga-se que esta ocorra numa escala de nano ou microssegundos. No entanto a ordem em que estes acontecimentos ocorrem gera bastante controvérsia dentro da comunidade científica.Com o objetivo de estudar o papel de aminoácidos ionizáveis nas alterações conformacionais do peptídeo, pretende-se utilizar as técnicas de dicroísmo circular (CD), calorimetria fotoacústica resolvida no tempo (TR-PAC) e mecânica molecular. A combinação destas técnicas contribuirá para o aprofundamento do conhecimento do mecanismo de refolding da chignolin, nomeadamente no que concerne à sua cinética.
The study of small peptides has revealed itself highly relevant for a better understanding of the protein folding process, since these small fragments can be crucial in driving this folding process. Thus, these amino acid sequences can be removed from proteins and perform their folding in aqueous solution and consequently acquire their typical native structure. Moreover, they are also quite important for the study of hydrophobic collapses, the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bridges and for the study of side-chain packing. Motifs such as α-helices and β-hairpins are often used in this area of science, the latter being the simplest motif to characterise.The Chignolin peptide is the smallest known hairpin-β structure that is soluble in water. It consists of 10 amino acid residues (GYDPETGTWG) and although its folding kinetics are not yet well known it is thought to occur on a nano or microsecond timescale. However, the order in which these events occur is quite controversial within the scientific community.In order to study the role of ionizable amino acids have in the conformational changes of the peptide, we intend to use the techniques like circular dichroism (CD), time-resolved photoacoustic calorimetry (TR-PAC) and molecular mechanics. The combination of these methods will contribute to a better understanding of chignolin’s refolding mechanism, particularly with respect to its kinetics. The combination of these methods will contribute to a better understanding of chignolin’s refolding mechanism, particularly with respect to its kinetics.

This study aims to reflect on and analyze the cultural migration and the cultural implantation in the history of interaction of hairstyles between China and Japan. Collecting relevant information related to the research topic of this paper, this study uses two research methods: firstly, documentary analysis with macro perspective. By a method based on ideas of cultural digestion and assimilation, which are taken from Cai Yuanpei’s viewpoints about cultural integration theory, I comb the connection between the evolving of oriental hairstyles and mobility of cultures by exploring the cultural characteristics of hairstyles in the interaction between China and Japan; secondly, Comparative research with microscopic perspective. The method is to analyze the similarity and differences between the Chignon of Tang Dynasty’s Kuan Chi and that of Japanese Geisha. The author uses Pre-iconographical description, iconographical analysis, and iconographical interpretation of Erwin Panofsky’s enIconology. This study concludes in two findings. The first one is concerning cultural translation. Because of the cultural mobility within the subject and the object culture, hairstyles have shown similarity in the explicit performance between object(Japan) and suject(China) culture during the same period of time. The second finding is about Cultural implantation. Due to the self-awareness of subject (Japanese Geisha), hairstyles relatively demanded less from the foreign and subject culture (Tang Dynasty’s Kuan Chi). Therefore, the interaction between the hairstyles from the two areas have shown dissimilarity and implicit performance. The research shows that hairstyles have brought out implicit and dynamic messages with explicit and static styles. Furthermore, hairstyles interpret the comprehension and embodiment of contemporary aesthetics. Meanwhile, the mode of aesthetic trend can be created in one period with outward manifestation and inner characterization. The results of the study can be used as a reference to the flowing and implantation of hairstyles. Future study can extend in four aspects: feminism, internalization of education, materialism, and socialization.

Abstract:
Seguendo l’approccio metodologico della storia dei concetti (Begriffsgeschichte), l’elaborato mira a descrivere i cambiamenti dell’assetto politico-costituzionale italiano attraverso l’evoluzione semantica di sintagmi linguistici come ‘governo parlamentare’, ‘governo rappresentativo’, ‘governo costituzionale’, ‘parlamentarismo’. Tale analisi si concentra grossomodo in un periodo di tempo che va dalla seconda metà dell’Ottocento, fino alla prima metà del Novecento. Come fonti, accanto ai classici prodotti della dottrina politico-costituzionale, quali monografie accademiche, corsi universitari, prolusioni e discorsi parlamentari, si sono utilizzate voci di dizionari e enciclopedie, opuscoli, fonti giornalistiche, periodici e riviste di taglio più o meno specialistico e di orientamento politico diverso (liberale/moderato, cattolico, socialista, repubblicano, nazionalista, fascista). L’evoluzione concettuale di lemmi-cardine come ‘governo parlamentare’ e altri sintagmi ad esso finitimi permette di ricostruire i mutamenti della forma di governo italiana, evitando anche spiacevoli anacronismi a livello storiografico. Infatti la forma di governo non dovrebbero essere descritta attraverso quadri concettuali elaborati nella nostra contemporaneità e poi applicati retrospettivamente al passato, ma con sintagmi e concetti appartenenti alla realtà storica che si intende prendere in esame.

Abstract:
The chapter establishes that the pre-critical Kant is committed to the absolute and entire dependence of all possibilities upon God. Furthermore, and in contrast to some rival influential accounts, it is argued that this dependence is compatible with a traditional divine ideas account, as found in a strand of Christian theology represented in Aquinas, and taken up by Leibniz. Kant’s account is shown to be compatible with this divine ideas account in three respects: every possibility depends upon uncreated divine ideas that constitute the divine understanding; all possible combinations of possibility depend upon God, and God must contain as much compossible reality as possible. In the course of showing this, voluntarist and exemplarist (Spinozistic) readings of Kant’s early philosophy are refuted, through a close engagement with scholars who support such readings, such as Rae Langton, Robert Adams, Andrew Chignell, and Omri Boehm.

The evaluation of mobile applications is increasingly taking into account the users of such applications’ mobility (e.g., Mizobuchi, Chignell, & Newton, 2005; Mustonen , Olkkonen, & Hakkinen, 2004). While clearly an important factor, mobility on its own often does not require the user’s visual focus to any great extent. Real-life users, however, are required to be aware of potential hazards while moving through their environment. This chapter outlines a simple classification for describing these distractions and two evaluations into the effect visual distractions have on the users of a mobile application. In both cases, the participants were required to monitor both their environment and the display of their mobile device. The results of both evaluations indicated that monitoring the environment has an effect on both task performance and the subjective workload experienced by the participants, indicating that such distractions should be considered when designing future evaluations.

Abstract:
Metaphors have long pervaded the discourse around information technology (IT) design (Johnson, 1994), helping developers to conceptualize technological features and functions, to design human-computer interfaces (Rechtin, 1997; Golovchinsky and Chignell, 1997; Rauch, Leone, and Gillinhan, 1997), and to articulate application requirements (Boland and Greenburg, 1992; Davidson 1996a). Metaphors also play an important role in conveying what Swanson and Ramiller (1997) call the organizing vision for IT innovations. An organizing vision, which develops through the discourse of a community of technology producers, information systems (IS) professionals, business managers, and other stakeholders, provides an interpretation of the applications of an IT innovation and the rationale for its use. Buzzwords are labels or names that come to be identified with an organizing vision and “may serve as a potent metaphor” (Swanson and Ramiller, 1997, p. 463) for conceptualizing the roles, relationships, control mechanism, and work processes associated with the IT innovation.
