J. Melvinger u radu o supstandardnome prijedložnom infinitivu (1982.) ne spominje mogućnost infinitivne kondenzacije posljedičnih ustrojstava, ni prijedložnog ni besprijedložnog infinitiva, iako donosi primjere u kojima je riječ o infinitivnoj prijedložnoj konstrukciji koja je priložna oznaka posljedice, a ne priložna oznaka načina, kako ona tvrdi: Kožnata jakna smiješna, a šal oko vrata škaklja za poludjeti. Tu mogućnost ne spominje ni u svojoj disertaciji (iako navodi primjere koje mi razumijevamo kao posljedične konstrukcije), a ne navodi je ni M. Ivić.
¿Hacia dónde va Venezuela?
(2008)
Recién un amigo investigador, italiano radicado en Barcelona me visitó en Caracas. Después de unos diez días me comentó entusiasmado que nunca había visto en algún país del mundo tanta gente participar, discutir, manifestar, opinar e intentando aprender más que en Venezuela. Eso sin diferencia de clase, género o pertenencia étnica. "Nunca he visto la democracia tan viva como aquí", me dijo cuando se despidió. ...
Poster presentation A central problem in neuroscience is to bridge local synaptic plasticity and the global behavior of a system. It has been shown that Hebbian learning of connections in a feedforward network performs PCA on its inputs [1]. In recurrent Hopfield network with binary units, the Hebbian-learnt patterns form the attractors of the network [2]. Starting from a random recurrent network, Hebbian learning reduces system complexity from chaotic to fixed point [3]. In this paper, we investigate the effect of Hebbian plasticity on the attractors of a continuous dynamical system. In a Hopfield network with binary units, it can be shown that Hebbian learning of an attractor stabilizes it with deepened energy landscape and larger basin of attraction. We are interested in how these properties carry over to continuous dynamical systems. Consider system of the form Math(1) where xi is a real variable, and fi a nondecreasing nonlinear function with range [-1,1]. T is the synaptic matrix, which is assumed to have been learned from orthogonal binary ({1,-1}) patterns ξμ, by the Hebbian rule: Math. Similar to the continuous Hopfield network [4], ξμ are no longer attractors, unless the gains gi are big. Assume that the system settles down to an attractor X*, and undergoes Hebbian plasticity: T´ = T + εX*X*T, where ε > 0 is the learning rate. We study how the attractor dynamics change following this plasticity. We show that, in system (1) under certain general conditions, Hebbian plasticity makes the attractor move towards its corner of the hypercube. Linear stability analysis around the attractor shows that the maximum eigenvalue becomes more negative with learning, indicating a deeper landscape. This in a way improves the system´s ability to retrieve the corresponding stored binary pattern, although the attractor itself is no longer stabilized the way it does in binary Hopfield networks.
Oscillatory activity in human electro- or magnetoencephalogram has been related to cortical stimulus representations and their modulation by cognitive processes. Whereas previous work has focused on gamma-band activity (GBA) during attention or maintenance of representations, there is little evidence for GBA reflecting individual stimulus representations. The present study aimed at identifying stimulus-specific GBA components during auditory spatial short-term memory. A total of 28 adults were assigned to 1 of 2 groups who were presented with only right- or left-lateralized sounds, respectively. In each group, 2 sample stimuli were used which differed in their lateralization angles (15° or 45°) with respect to the midsagittal plane. Statistical probability mapping served to identify spectral amplitude differences between 15° versus 45° stimuli. Distinct GBA components were found for each sample stimulus in different sensors over parieto-occipital cortex contralateral to the side of stimulation peaking during the middle 200–300 ms of the delay phase. The differentiation between "preferred" and "nonpreferred" stimuli during the final 100 ms of the delay phase correlated with task performance. These findings suggest that the observed GBA components reflect the activity of distinct networks tuned to spatial sound features which contribute to the maintenance of task-relevant information in short-term memory.
Comparative studies suggest that at least some bird species have evolved mental skills similar to those found in humans and apes. This is indicated by feats such as tool use, episodic-like memory, and the ability to use one´s own experience in predicting the behavior of conspecifics. It is, however, not yet clear whether these skills are accompanied by an understanding of the self. In apes, self-directed behavior in response to a mirror has been taken as evidence of self-recognition. We investigated mirror-induced behavior in the magpie, a songbird species from the crow family. As in apes, some individuals behaved in front of the mirror as if they were testing behavioral contingencies. When provided with a mark, magpies showed spontaneous mark-directed behavior. Our findings provide the first evidence of mirror self-recognition in a non-mammalian species. They suggest that essential components of human self-recognition have evolved independently in different vertebrate classes with a separate evolutionary history.
Mumbai, Mexico City, Lagos und Kairo – das sind Megacities des neuen Jahrtausends. Sie leiden ausnahmslos unter ähnlichen Problemen: Mehr als die Hälfte der Einwohner lebt von unregelmäßigen Einkünften in den Slums am Rande der Metropolen. Die soziale Polarisierung wächst ebenso wie das Sicherheitsproblem. Wo das staatliche Gewaltmonopol zunehmend zerfällt, nutzen private Akteure ihre Chance, um Sicherheit zu schaffen und Gebiete zu kontrollieren – nicht selten gewaltsam.
In der Frauenarbeit liegt einer der wichtigsten Schlüssel zur Weltentwicklung. Frauen arbeiten – bezahlt und unbezahlt – sehr viel mehr als Männer. Weltweit sind 40 Prozent der Menschen in Beschäftigungsverhältnissen Frauen. Die unbezahlte Familien- und Fürsorgearbeit, wozu neben Versorgung, Erziehung, emotionaler und gesundheitlicher Pfl ege auch die unentlohnte Arbeit in der Landwirtschaft gehört, ist bekanntlich überwiegend Frauensache. Frauen sind somit zugleich zentrale Akteurinnen und Adressatinnen, wenn es um die Lösung der großen Probleme von Weltentwicklung wie Klimawandel, Ernährungskrise oder Bevölkerungsentwicklung geht. Auch die großen politischen Ziele wie die Sicherung von Frieden und Demokratie lassen sich nur erreichen, wenn Männer und Frauen wirklich gleichberechtigt sind.
Der Ozean gehört zu den am wenigsten erforschten Regionen unseres Planeten, obwohl er für den Wärme- und Energiehaushalt der Erde und die Gemeinschaft ihrer Bewohner eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Der Mensch fischt und badet vor allem in den Flachmeeren. Dort ist auch die Schifffahrt am dichtesten. Doch obwohl die Flachmeere nur etwa 5 Prozent des Ozeanbodens ausmachen, wirken sich Veränderungen empfindlich auf alle Meeresbewohner aus, bis in die dunkle, kalte und nahrungsarme Tiefsee.
