How Fear and Stress Shape the Mind

CC BY

The experience of fear and stress leaves an indelible trace on the brain. This indelible trace is observed as both changes in behavior and changes in neuronal structure and function. Fear and stress interact on many levels. The experience of stress may lead to the formation of a fearful memory trace of a place or reminder cue, and fearful memory formation is regulated by the extent of concurrent stress. The concurrent experience of fear and stress may amplify fear and slow fear extinction which may lead to pathology. Fear memory formation involves changes in synaptic plasticity while stress and glucocorticoids change neuronal structure. Thus, both neurons and synapses are changed. These changes can be identified, visualised and mapped within focused microcircuits. In this Research Topic we focus on current advances in both the neurobiology and behavioral consequences of fear and stress.

Co-creating Digital Public Services for an Ageing Society: Evidence for User-centric Design

CC BY

This open access book attends to the co-creation of digital public services for ageing societies. Increasingly public services are provided in digital form; their uptake however remains well below expectations. In particular, amongst older adults the need for public services is high, while at the same time the uptake of digital services is lower than the population average. One of the reasons is that many digital public services (or e-services) do not respond well to the life worlds, use contexts and use practices of its target audiences. This book argues that when older adults are involved in the process of identifying, conceptualising, and designing digital public services, these services become more relevant and meaningful.The book describes and compares three co-creation projects that were conducted in two European cities, Bremen and Zaragoza, as part of a larger EU-funded innovation project. The first part of the book traces the origins of co-creation to three distinct domains, in which co-creation has become an equally important approach with different understandings of what it is and entails: (1) the co-production of public services, (2) the co-design of information systems and (3) the civic use of open data. The second part of the book analyses how decisions about a co-creation project’s governance structure, its scope of action, its choice of methods, its alignment with strategic policies and its embedding in existing public information infrastructures impact on the process and its results. The final part of the book identifies key challenges to co-creation and provides a more general assessment of what co-creation may achieve, where the most promising areas of application may be and where it probably does not match with the contingent requirements of digital public services. Contributing to current discourses on digital citizenship in ageing societies and user-centric design, this book is useful for researchers and practitioners interested in co-creation, public sector innovation, open government, ageing and digital technologies, citizen engagement and civic participation in socio-technical innovation.

Kleines Wörterbuch der kirchenslavischen Sprache

CC BY

Das Buch enthält den Wortschatz der wichtigsten liturgischen Texte des byzantinischen Ritus, d. h. des Hesperinos, des Orthros, der Liturgien und der Evangelien; die übrigen alt- und neutestamentlichen Schriften sind berücksichtigt, soweit sie an Sonntagen und höheren Festen benutzt werden. Dieser "Grundwortschatz" soll es nun ermöglichen, solche Texte in der modern- (russisch-) kirchenslavischen Schreibweise leicht zu übersetzen. Das Wörterbuch, eine erheblich erweiterte Ausgabe der früheren, seit Jahren vergriffenen Auflagen, will sprachwissenschaftliches und theologisches Wissen praktischen Bedürfnissen dienstbar machen: es hilft dem Slavistik-Studenten und dem ostkirchlich Interessierten wie auch dem Ikonenliebhaber bzw. Kunsthistoriker ohne Russisch- bzw. Serbischkenntnisse, biblische und liturgische Texte in der Form des Modernen Russisch-Kirchenslavischen zu verstehen. Von Nutzen sind dabei die grammatischen und orthographischen Hinweise in der Einleitung, die Verweise von bestimmten Flexionsformen auf die Ausgangsformen im Wörterverzeichnis und der Anhang mit Abkürzungen in Handschriften und Drucken sowie auf Ikonen. Ein weiteres Verzeichnis enthält Personen- und Ortsnamen aus den biblischen Büchern, dem Heiligenkalender und der profanen Geschichte, die in liturgischen Texten und auf Ikonen zu finden sind, wobei orthographische Varianten bzw. Fehlschreibungen mit einem Verweis auf die Standardformen aufgeführt sind.

Nutrigenetics

Dolores Corella (editor)

CC BY-NC-ND

Precision Medicine, understood as “the emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person” is currently one of the most talked about themes in biomedicine and great efforts are being made internationally to turn this concept into a reality. As the concept of Precision Medicine spreads, so too does that of “Precision Nutrition”, which would have to take individual variability into account when recommending personalized diets.Although huge progress has been made over recent years in research into the genotype in inter-individual responses to diet, proving that this heterogeneity does indeed exist, we still do not have top level scientific evidence to make the eagerly-awaited personalized dietary recommendations, either from the prevention or treatment of different diseases point of view.It is, therefore, essential to gather more information from studies which, from the nutrigenetic point of view, analyze gene–diet interactions in the different intermediate and final phenotypes of diseases. The ideal situation would be to have results available from randomized and controlled clinical trials. Results on gene–diet interactions obtained from large cohorts, and other types of studies with replication in independent samples, are also of great importance. Similarly, if nutrigenetic findings are accompanied by more mechanistic evidence, integrating other omics, this would be of particular interest. Lastly, another topic of interest is to share strategies for implementing genome-based nutritional interventions.Therefore, this Special Issue of Nutrients, “Nutrigenetics”, will focus on providing evidence of the inter-individual genetic effects of diet in determining diseases phenotypes. We are looking forward to receiving many submissions from outstanding experts on these topics. Experimental papers, meta-analyses, up-to-date review articles, and commentaries are all welcome.

Cellular and molecular mechanisms of motor neuron death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

CC BY

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which was described since 1869 by Jean Martin Charcot, is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by the selective and progressive loss of upper and lower motor neurons of the cerebral cortex, brainstem and the spinal cord. The cognitive process is not affected and is not merely the result of aging because may occur at young ages. The only known cause of the disease is associated with genetic mutations, mainly in the gene encoding superoxide dismutase 1 (familial ALS), whereas there is no known cause of the sporadic form of ALS (SALS), which comprises >90% of cases. Both ALS types develop similar histopathological and clinical characteristics, and there is no treatment or prevention of the disease. Because effective treatments for ALS, as for other neurodegenerative diseases, can only result from the knowledge of their cellular and molecular pathophysiological mechanisms, research on such mechanisms is essential. Although progress in neurochemical, physiological and clinical investigations in the last decades has identified several mechanisms that seem to be involved in the cell death process, such as glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity, alterations of inhibitory circuits, inflammatory events, axonal transport deficits, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and energy failure, the understanding of the origin and temporal progress of the disease is still incomplete and insufficient. Clearly, there is a need of further experimental models and approaches to discern the importance of such mechanisms and to discover the factors that determine the selective death of motor neurons characteristic of ALS, in contrast to other neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Whereas studies in vitro in cell cultures, tissue slices or organotypic preparations can give useful information regarding cellular and molecular mechanisms, the experiments in living animal models obviously reflect more closely the situation in the human disease, provided that the symptoms and their development during time mimics as close as possible those of the human disease. It is necessary to correlate the experimental findings in vitro with those in vivo, as well as those obtained in genetic models with those in non-genetic models, aiming at designing and testing therapeutic strategies based on the results obtained.

Epicuro e Montaigne sobre a morte, os desejos e os limites do que podemos saber

Filodebates

Filodebates

Epicuro escreveu a Carta a Meneceu enquanto Atenas se despedaçava entre guerras, desigualdade crescente e governos sucessivos que não serviam ao Estado. Montaigne redigiu os Ensaios enquanto a França se rasgava em guerras de religião. Os dois fizeram a mesma pergunta em séculos diferentes: como encontrar serenidade quando tudo ao redor é instável? Essa pergunta não envelheceu.

Film as Embodied Art

CC BY-NC

How do the visuals of Kubrick’s work convey complex concepts and abstractions without the traditional reliance on words? And how does the pure instrumental music in his films express meaning when music, in essence, is an abstract art form? Drawing on state-of-the-art research in embodied cognitive science, this book sets out to explore these questions by revealing Kubrick as a genuine conceptual artist, a filmmaker who perhaps more than any other director, uses all the non-verbal resources of filmmaking in such a controlled and dense manner as to elicit the bodily structures necessary to achieve a level of conceptual understanding.This book is made open access as part of the Knowledge Unlatched KU Select 2018: HSS Frontlist Books
