Abstract:

College students in introductory psychology participated in four experiments to investigate the salience of color versus figure elements of paired associates. The study also reviewed the process of learning paired associates within the context of first-order simultaneous classical conditioning. In Exp. 1, four separate classes received different treatments concerning the position and type of stimulus element (color of figure) they were instructed to recall. There were seven trials with a 30-min. delay between the sixth and seventh trials. The results indicated that the groups who were required to remember the figure element of the pairs, significantly out-performed the color groups and also learned the pairs much faster. Also, there was a sharp rise in mean correct responses remembered after a 30-min. delay for the group required to recall the color element of the paired associates. Exp. 2 was a within-subjects comparison of the effectiveness of the color and figure elements as stimuli. Again, the figures elicited more correct responses than colors. Exp. 3 tested the effectiveness within subjects of the stimulus elements as response factors. As responses, however, there were no significant differences in the number of correct answers when recalling color or figure elements until the 30-min. delay between Trials 6 and 7. As expected in Exp. 4, figures elicited significantly more functional descriptions than did colors, suggesting that figures possess a logographic nature which acts as a mnemonic device aiding in the memory of stimuli and responses.

Abstract:

Abstract Quiescent state of lymphocyte is a critical mechanism for immunity homeostasis. Until recently it has been recognized that quiescent state is not a passive default mode which also needs many signal molecular and transcriptional factors involvement. However, the mechanism of T cell quiescence remains incompletely understood. In quiescent cell, KLF3 is a highly expressed transcriptional factor, but once T lymphocyte is activated, KLF3 expression is reduced to an undetectable level. The Src homology 2 domain tyrosine phosphatase (SHP-1) is mainly expressed in hematopoietic cells and has been known to plays a negative effect on T cell activation. SHP-1 mutant mice (SHP-1me/me) exhibits multiple hematopoietic cells proliferation disorder and systemic inflammation. Compare to SHP-1me/me mice, KLF3 knock-out mice shows a myeloproliferative disorder and systematic inflammatory responses likewise. Accumulating evidence indicates KLF3 is a crucial transcription factor in T cell quiescent. Based on similarity between SHP-1me/me mice and KLF3 knock-out mice, we explore whether KLF3 cooperate with SHP-1 to maintain cell quiescence. SHP-1 consists two promoter regions that one locates upstream of exon1, mainly expressed in epithelial cell and the other one locates in intron 1 which mainly serves for hematopoietic cell. According to literature, the core promoter element which plays a critical role in SHP-1 gene regulation locates upstream 120bp of transcriptional site. Two cacc boxes (5'---caccc----3') were found among the core promoter elements. We constructed a reporter gene vector named pGL3-SHP1-luci1 which consist two cacc boxes. We also constructed another three vectors based on pGL3-SHP1-luci1. (figure1 left). We process dual-luciferase assay at 72h post transfection (figure1 right). when the proximal cacc box is mutated, the promoter activity is 1.7 times as high as the promoter activity of normal promoter sequence (luci1 vector) (p<0.05). The transcription factor KLF3 functions as a repressor to interact with SHP-1 P2 promoter. We prepare two dioxin-labelled probes based on cacc box motif to verify the binding activities between KLF3 and SHP-1. The probe I is consist of the distal cacc box and the probe II possesses the proximal cacc box. Two specific bands (A,B)were observed when probe target I or target II was adding into DNA-protein mixture (Figure2, lane2, 5). This band specifically disappeared by the addition of excess unlabeled target as a competitor (Figure2, lane 3, 6) which indicates probe can be a target of nuclear proteins from Jurkat cell. To verify KLF3 is the transcription factor involving in the interaction with labelled-probe, we added anti-KLF3 antibody to the EMSA binding reaction. The results show band A disappeared in the presence of target I and it became weaker in the presence of target II, but band B were still present after addition of anti-KLF3 antibody to the mixture (Figure2, lane4, 8). The band A, but not band B, disappeared or become weaken in the presence of anti-KLF3 antibody, indicates KLF3 interacts with SHP-1 P2 promoter. To test the ability of KLF3 binding to SHP-1 promoter 2 (P2) in vivo, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis using antibodies for KLF3 and compared it with the IgG-negative control. We design one promoter primer targeting a region from -135bp to 53bp which contains a potential KLF3 binding site and one SHP-1 exon15 promoter as a control for antibody enriched DNA analysis. By promoter primer or exon15 primer, specific DNA bands were observed in input. However, only anti-KLF3 enriched DNA can amplify a specific band with promoter primer. By contrast, the IgG negative control enriched DNA fail to amplify positive bands with promoter primer. And for the exon15 primer, it hardly amplified positive bands neither from anti-KLF3-enriched DNA nor from IgG negative control-enriched DNA (figure3). These data demonstrates that KLF3 proteins directly regulate SHP-1 expression. Our study suggests KLF3, as the candidate of programing T cell quiescence, can regulate SHP-1 to maintain quiescent phenotype. Figure 1. Figure 1. Figure 2. Figure 2. Figure 3. Figure 3.

Abstract:

There is a need for the compilation of a list of all human psychosocial needs with an accompanying justification for each for several reasons; as knowledge of itself and for itself about our species; for a greater understanding of the socialisation process potentially leading to improved parenting; for more precise descriptions of need and consequences of absence that cause human dysfunction including psychosis among other, thereby enabling more effective research into cause and treatment. This brief theoretical article provides such a list in a figure with a brief explanation for the need of each. There are two figures. Firstly, socialization as a process is depicted, then the second figure is the list of all human psychosocial needs. It contains a rationale for variable inclusion as well as explanation of consequence of privation and as such introduces some innovative and paradigm changing ideas regarding psychosocial need and cause of mental health issues.

Abstract:

Beside speech, that helps children to express their feelings and experiences, establish relations with people, the drawing is one of the most truthful ways of its expression. In this paper the results of pleasant and unpleasant emotions among children through drawing of human fi gure are presented. The survey is conducted on 634 children, and the results indicate that there is difference in expressing negative emotions between boys and girls, while at expressing pleasant emotions the results are similar.

Abstract:

No cinema de Philippe Grandrieux, o interesse em valorizar a presença da figura humana coexiste com um espaço pictórico crepuscular, na iminência de desaparecer na escuridão. Cria-se um regime aparentemente contraditório: o corpo ganha peso, materialidade, apesar do risco de sua diluição na imagem. Tendo isso em vista, o artigo discute como a modulação do negrume contribui para a sublimação visual e a restituição sensorial da figura humana em seus filmes, com foco em Sombra (Sombre, 1998) e mais brevemente em White epilepsy (2012). A partir do cotejo com as artes plásticas, sobretudo com obras de Pablo Picasso e de Paul Cézanne, busca-se pensar as particularidades de um programa que evoca o corpo a partir das sugestões espaciais e da circularidade na imagem.palavras-chave: figura humana; sombra; presença; cinema; pintura AbstractIn Philippe Grandrieux’s cinema, the interest in representing the presence of human figure coexists with a twilight pictorial space on the brink of fading into darkness. Therefore, we recognize a contradictory situation: the body gets materiality in spite of his possibility of dissolves in the image. In view of the above, the paper aims to discuss how the shadow contributes to a visual sublimation and a sensory restitution of human figure in Grandrieux’s cinema, especially in Sombre (1998) and briefly in White epilepsy (2012). In relation with plastic art, notably the works of Pablo Picasso and Paul Cézanne, we intend to discuss the specificities of a formal proposition that seeks to evoke the body by space indices and by the circularity in the image.keywords: human figure; shadow; presence; cinema; painting

Abstract:

The investigators examined four correlated aspects of the Bender-Gestalt and the Draw-A-Person tests. Subjects were 41 boys and 14 girls classified as seriously emotionally disturbed or seriously behavior disordered by their school system in southwest Georgia. Each subject's Bender-Gestalt and human figure drawings were placed on a digitizing pad and encoded to provide information relative to the width, height, average point of location on the fourth quadrant abscissa and ordinate of each drawing. The widths of Bender Figures 2 and 8 correlated significantly with the widths of human drawings; the heights of Figures A, 5, and 7 were significantly correlated with the heights of the human drawings. Bender Figure 1 was significantly correlated with average points of location on the abscissa of human figure drawings (distance from the left margin of the page), but correlations between the average points of location from the top of the page were nonsignificant. Comparison of these results with data from other samples might refine diagnosis.

Abstract:

Human figure drawing is undertaken and ultimately used for a number of purposes. Artists use it to continually sharpen their skills in order to apply it in the execution of their work in artistic disciplines that pertain to self-expression. Students and other groups as well as individuals embark on human figure drawing in order to acquire and horn their skills for purposes of artistic development that is then applied ultimately to their respective artistic endeavours. However, the drawing and acquisition of skills is a process and people render their human figure drawings to different levels of success and finesse at any given stage. In this process, one draws human figures using certain prescribed guidelines. It is expected that as one works within this process, particularly in a formal learning environment like studio-based work, following these guidelines become essential and helpful in attaining a proportional and accurate human figure drawing. In analysing the featured work executed on toned paper, this paper seeks to determine the extent to which the artist applies the basic tenets of human figure drawing and whether the drawings themselves attain this threshold. The analytical framework includes the depiction of correct proportions, the study of gestures, the suggestion of movement and application of value. Within the development of personal style, the artist specifically explores the effect of charcoal pencil on toned paper as his medium of choice. His methodology includes the application of a variety of tones and the use of focused illumination upon pertinent areas in the drawings to create deliberate effects that highlight the drawings, enhance gestures, suggest movement and add dynamism to the drawings. The drawings include photograph referenced male and female figures as well as separate studies of hands and feet

Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the iconographic woman image in Sri Tanjung relief at Candi Surowono located in Kediri Regency, East Java. The qualitative research done involves understanding, concepts, values, and characteristics attached to the object of research. It uses a humanities approach with Panofsky's Iconology Theory. The relief of one of the panels (1400 AD) carved at Candi Surowono is seen as an embodiment resembling two human figures. One male figure is carved holding a female figure with an expression of body anatomy full of intimacy with each other. The central human figure and the expression of holding this are present on the background of the patra motif, buds, accompanied by leaf tendrils and a motif that looks like a flower resembling a mandala is depicted shading these two human figures. The feeling of love and longing for something that cannot be described (ngalembana) is present in the embodiment of these two figures. This classic visual art presents a shock, as if space and time have melted into one. The theme of the image conveys the wisdom of the ancestors in providing a free perspective on woman, love, and compassion.

Abstract:

The core of Wayang stories (Mahabharata, Bharatayuda, Ramayana) is the reflection of human that is always continuously in crisis and emergency situations and conditions. Tragic. Wayang stories raise humanity problems so that the existences of human conception experience the perpetuity of dehumanization, existential instability and ambiguous. The killing of the essence of the human existence purpose on earth. It is an issue fundamentally of anti-human.Shadow play perspective does not rest on human understanding or Knight (Pandawa, Kurawa, Rama, Giant), the heaven God (Bathara Guru), and/or Prabu Khresna, incarnation of Wisnhu God. Wayang stories evoke Togog and Semar angle. Liyan. Grassroots. The general public. Amorphous: No Man is not a knight instead of a brahmana is not god instead of giant.Arises a question that is closely related to the presence of Togog and Semar. Why do shadow play stories present the figure of the them, while the authentic story of the Mahabharata and Ramayana India version does not exist at all? Are Togog and Semar truly actualization of post-human aesthetic and post-human anthropology ideas?The substance of this writing ask us to discuss regarding the idea of Togog and Semar in shadow play into the realm of post-human discourse as a result of dehumanization signs in the frame of shadow play stories. The main focus of the discussion focused on the position of Togog and Semar as the figure as linuwih or great beyond human (knight) and god. Study restriction on the context of Purwa Java Gagrak Jogja and Solo wayang; similarly in East Java, Sunda and Bali, there are also those two figures.

Abstract:

This article draws on the issue of digital sovereignty as a probe to explore the media scholarship of Marshall McLuhan as it relates to human sovereignty. Taking seriously McLuhan’s characterization of himself as a follower of Thomas Aquinas, the article argues that McLuhan’s application of gestalt psychology to culture and technology is analogical to Aquinas’s existential development of the figure–ground polarity central to Aristotelian hylomorphism. This structural equivalence allows us to understand McLuhan’s notion of ground in two primary senses – as acoustic material potency and as tactile existential actuality. I contend that conflating the existential Ground of human artefacts with the material ground of human artefacts obsolesces the figural structure of human perception, leading to a posthuman metaphysics that is at odds both with McLuhan’s humanistic message and with efforts to promote human sovereignty in the digital world.

Abstract:

This article explores three central figures that recur in Gabriel Josipovici’s critical writing. All three are essentially solitary. First, there is the creative figure – the artist, the composer, the writer – alone in their study or studio. Second, there is a curiously impersonal figure, more elusive, harder to pin down. Not the writer or artist but an anonymous figure walking down the road, Wordsworth’s solitaries in The Prelude and Paul Klee’s Wander-Artist. And, finally, there are Jewish figures, especially from Kafka and the Hebrew Bible. What are these bare, elusive anonymous figures doing in Josipovici’s writing? Why do they come up so often, throughout his work, from the mid 1970s to the present? And are they lifeless or are they full of life, deeply human, rooted in history and literature?

Abstract:

Figure–ground modulation, i.e., the enhancement of neuronal responses evoked by the figure relative to the background, has three complementary components: edge modulation (boundary detection), center modulation (region filling), and background modulation (background suppression). However, the neuronal mechanisms mediating these three modulations and how they depend on awareness remain unclear. For each modulation, we compared both the cueing effect produced in a Posner paradigm and fMRI blood oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) signal in primary visual cortex (V1) evoked by visible relative to invisible orientation-defined figures. We found that edge modulation was independent of awareness, whereas both center and background modulations were strongly modulated by awareness, with greater modulations in the visible than the invisible condition. Effective-connectivity analysis further showed that the awareness-dependent region-filling and background-suppression processes in V1 were not derived through intracortical interactions within V1, but rather by feedback from the frontal eye field (FEF) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), respectively. These results indicate a source for an awareness-dependent figure–ground segregation in human prefrontal cortex.

Abstract:

Objective –The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that freehand human-figure drawing (HFD), can be used as a complementary screening instrument to differentiate between demented elderly people and healthy elderly controls in population based studies Method –HFD was examined in 668 elderly (⩾ 75 years of age) participants from an epidemiological study in Stockholm, who were asked to draw a human figure. The drawings were analysed on the content of body details and structural characteristics. Result –The results show quite clearly that the body details and the height decrease with decreasing cognitive function, whereas the centredness (the distance in cm from the centre of the figure to the centre of the paper) increases with decreasing cognitive functioning. Demented people place their figures in the upper left: corner of the sheet, compared with the mostly well centred figures of non-demented people. Age, on the other hand, has an influence on the HFD as after 90 years of age most of the variable show regressive changes. Conclusion –The HFD can help to differentiate between demented and non-demented subjects as well as between dementia of different severity. The HFD does not help us, however, to discriminate between Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. Age has an influence on the HFD in the sense that after 90 years most of the variables regress to a smaller or more primitive form.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the artistic process of the Berlin-based photographer Vanja Bučan, who always manages to maintain at least some recognizable expression despite her varied approaches. Her works are visually rich, carrying complex meanings and associations. She chooses not to directly reflect the collective and the individual everyday life but depicts universal existentialist motifs where the social perspective is usually shown through metaphors and allegories. The centerpiece of her work is the relationship between culture and nature and between humans and their environment, as well as the ontology of image in mass media circulation. Her photography requires a considerable degree of cerebral activity and intuition in order to sense some of the fundamental questions of humankind in the Anthropocene. Keywords: Anthropocene, art photography, photographic mise-en-scene, representation of nature

Abstract:

All kinds of mining enterprises prefer to use computer-aided design (CAD) in drawing figures of mining reserves. CAD is convenient to operate and ensures the creation of intuitive and beautiful figures. However, CAD causes data error easily due to human intervention. Moreover, CAD wastes time and is prone to omit records. To reduce the incidence of such errors, the current paper examines the transformation of CAD-drawn reserves’ figures and databases into “block” form. This paper also aims to realize the conversion of figure blocks and databases using Visual Basic (VB) in CAD and database applications. To achieve this result, the circle and text are first extracted from CAD form. Then, a series of changes is implemented. Lastly, figure blocks are endowed with new properties. Using this approach can quickly transform figure elements into block properties, achieving good application effects.

Abstract:

The segregation of figure from ground is arguably one of the most fundamental operations in human vision. Neural signals reflecting this operation appear in cortex as early as 50 ms and as late as 300 ms after presentation of a visual stimulus, but it is not known when these signals are used by the brain to construct the percepts of figure and ground. We used psychophysical reverse correlation to identify the temporal window for figure-ground signals in human perception and found it to lie within the range of 100–160 ms. Figure enhancement within this narrow temporal window was transient rather than sustained as may be expected from measurements in single neurons. These psychophysical results prompt and guide further electrophysiological studies.

Full text

Abstract:

The right and left hemispheres of four complete commissurotomy subjects were tested for the ability to recognize and integrate figure and background elements of composite visual stimuli. In the first experiment the subjects were required to identify from a four-choice array in free vision the stimulus card that matched the briefly lateralized sample stimulus. For all subjects the left hemisphere was proficient at identifying the figure, but performed at near-chance level in recognizing the textured background. In contrast, the right hemisphere was equally adept at identifying figures and backgrounds. Both hemispheres could easily identify the isolated figure or background from a choice array, demonstrating that the observed hemisphere effects were due to figure–background interactions rather than the result of any difficulty in processing specific elements of the composite stimulus. The second experiment involved the determination of the size and position of a dot that appeared against various plain and textured backgrounds. The right hemisphere of two subjects, but not the left, performed with greater accuracy when the background consisted of a ‘natural’ texture gradient rather than a plain white backing. Similar though less consistent results were obtained when an inverted gradient or an evenly spaced grid was used as the background. For each condition, right-hemisphere performance resembled that of normal control subjects. In contrast, the left hemisphere provided a pattern of results dissimilar to that of control subjects for the various figure–background tasks described. It appeared to be generally insensitive to background effects, except when the information provided by the background was highly unusual, as from an inverted texture gradient. The results suggest a preeminent role for the right hemisphere in (i) the recognition of background components of a whole-field stimulus, (ii) sensitivity to the influence of the background on the perception of an object, and (iii) the ability to use natural perspective cues to assist in the accurate perception of an object.

Abstract:

This article asks whether we can make embodied sense of the Anthropocene, and if so, how we might locate ourselves in a more empathic relationship with the non-human world? By feeling, at the personal scale, the part we play in the natural systems that support life, we may become more able to make the necessary changes in our actions to address the global-scale degradation of nature. I discuss somatic and creative practices that offer tools for cultivating a sense of presence in and as nature, giving examples of artists’ creative practices, including some of my own choreographic explorations aiming to embody the ‘landscape in the figure’.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: Adenosine, an autacoid and metabolite of ATP, has been known to have anti-platelet properties. Of the 4 adenosine receptors (ARs), only A2A AR have been implicated in adenosines anti-platelet properties in human. A2A AR is a G-Protein Coupled Receptors associated with a stimulatory G-Protein (Gs) that can activate adenylyl cyclase (AC) and increase intracellular cAMP. An elevation of cAMP has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation to natural stimuli. Regulation of intracellular cAMP is balanced between synthesis by adenylate cyclase and degradation by phosphdiesterases (PDE). There are 3 PDE subtypes found in platelets: PDE2, PDE3, and PDE5. However, it is not know which subtype(s) is (are) responsible for regulating cAMP level in human platelets after adenosine stimulation. Materials and Methods: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was isolated from whole blood of human volunteers, and centrifuged at 200g for 10min. Light transmission aggregometry was performed after stimulation of platelets with 100uM ADP, with or without NECA (non-specific AR agonist), DPCPX (A1 AR antagonist), and Sch 58261 (A2A AR antagonist). PRP treated with NECA, DPCPX, Sch 58261, and PDE inhibitors (EHNA, E in figures, for PDE2, Trequinsin, T in figures, for PDE3, and 4-{[3'4'-(methylenedioxy) benzyl]amino}-6-methoxyqunazolin, 4 in figures, for PDE 5). Cyclic AMP was measured in platelets after treatment by liquid chromatography/ Tandem Mass Spectroscopy (Quantiva, ThrermoFisher) after treated with these drugs. Results: ADP-induced platelet aggregation was inhibited in a dose dependent manner by the non-specific adenosine agonist, NECA (Figure 1) and the effect was blocked by A2A specific antagonist Sch 58261, not by the A1 AR antagonist, DPCPX (Figure 2). NECA inhibition of platelet aggregation was likely due to an elevation of intracellular cAMP (1 uM, 5min incubation, Figure 3). Inhibition of PDE3 alone, significantly increased intracellular cAMP, suggesting that basal PDE3 activity is present. PDE 3 inhibition combined with NECA elevated cAMP even higher than PDE inhibition or NECA alone (Figure 3), suggesting that NECA (A2A stimulation) effects PDE activity. Inhibition of PDE2 or 5 had no effect on basal or NECA stimulated cAMP (Figure 3). Inhibition of all 3 PDE (2,3,5) combined with NECA elevated cAMP to levels higher then NECA+ PDE3 inhibition, again suggesting that NECA maybe effecting the activity of the PDEs (Figure 3). The potentiation of cAMP by PDE3 inhibition + NECA was block by A2A, but not A1 antagonist (Figure 4) suggesting that the nonspecific adenosine agonist is elevating cAMP through A2A. Conclusion: 1. In human platelets, NECA stimulates cAMP through A2A receptors and this elevation is likely due to an elevation in adenylate cyclase via Gs coupled to A2A. PDE3 is basally active and likely regulated by adenosine receptors. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
