Hyperthermia was induced in nine subjects on two separate occasions by a progressive treadmill run, which resulted in an average esophageal temperature (Tes) of 39.77 ± 0.07 °C after 30–57 min. Fanning the face during exercise to simulate conditions during running (wind at 3.75 m∙s−1) maintained a tympanic temperature (Tty) that was lower than Tes; the difference was 1.5 °C at the end of exercise. In one session, face fanning was interrupted at the end of running, whereas in the other it was maintained for 15 min after exercise stopped. Face fanning had no significant influence on the fall of Tes during recovery, but it markedly influenced the course of Tty during this period. When face fanning was stopped at the end of the run, Tty rose by nearly 0.5 °C, peaked after 4.5 min. and thereafter decreased slowly to a value close to Tes. In contrast, when face fanning was maintained throughout the recovery period, Tty rose only slightly (0.1 °C) and remained significantly lower than Tes at all times. The results suggest that following hyperthermic exercise, face fanning could be helpful in preventing acute cerebral hyperthermia.

The purpose of this work is to relate the concept of selective brain cooling (SBC) during exercise to heat loss from the head while either bare or covered. During hyperthermia, SBC is considered to occur if tympanic temperature (Tty) is lower than esophageal temperature (Tes). In experiment I the head heat loss was measured with and without headgear. Each of four subjects took part in three sessions of exercise on a cycle ergometer. The face was cooled to simulate outdoor conditions. The first session (no headgear) served as control for the two following sessions in which a headband and a woolen cap were worn. Evaporative and radiative-convective heat loss were monitored from the head. Wearing a cap significantly reduced the heat loss from the head compared with the control condition. During the headband session the heat loss was not significantly lower than the control values. Tty, Tes, and head skin temperatures (T(sk)) were also recorded. Tty was significantly lower (-0.55 +/- 0.15 degrees C) than Tes at the end of exercise (150-W exercise load) when no headgear was worn. During headgear sessions, Tty was no longer significantly lower than Tes, either during the headband (-0.15 +/- 0.31 degrees C) or during the cap session (-0.30 +/- 0.13 degrees C). In experiment II the influence of wearing headgear on temperature regulation was studied. Hand skin blood flow, hand T(sk), and heat loss from the hand were recorded in addition to the variables monitored in experiment I. Wearing headgear elevated Tty and peripheral vasomotor responses, whereas Tes evolved in the opposite direction.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The right of lenders to request for top-ups of negative equity when the property value falls below the loan outstanding is a little known, yet widely adopted provision in mortgage documents in many Asian markets. We analyze the effect of the top-up option by appealing to a contingent claim framework. Specifically, we model the top-up option as a synthetic option comprising a long put to request for a top-up, a short put that cancels out the first option in the event of a default, and a binary put option once triggered will yield a value equivalent to the difference between the mortgage outstanding and the property value. The results of comparative analyses show that the lender's right to request for top-ups is valuable when the negative mortgage equity increases, especially in a market where price is highly volatile. The top-up clause fundamentally affects the mortgage values for both the borrower and the lender. We show that lender's inaction by not calling for top-ups when negative mortgage equity occurs is suboptimal. On the other hand, the lenders' exercise of the in-the-money top-up options may lead to early default by the mortgagor. This is one of the reasons why lenders exercise this option only very sparingly in practice. This mortgage design has economic value to the lenders, it is, however, not optimal in time of volatile market. The policy implication of the findings is that the sub-optimal top-up feature should be removed from the mortgage contract, and it will not severely jeopardize the lender's ability to enforce payments in the mortgages.

This paper seeks to study the anomic behavior that emerges from and thet value orientation that precedes the latent intercomrnunity conflict in thi: regions affected by the expansion of the Tesso Nilo National Park ir Pelalawan regency, Riau province. In accordance with Johan Galtung: theory of conflict and violence, this paper will expose the cultural ana structural violence that creates an invisible conflict in the society. r1 structural analysis will explain the existence of pressures on any attempt le achieve welfare and the difference in subsistence ability. On the other hand a cultural analysis will discuss the value orientation differences between communities that disrupt social relation and integration. Adaptive behavior that emerges from any social inequality is preceded by a value orientation system and communal attitude.

Elephants and whales took center stage in the environmental movements of the 1980s. As flagship species, they were the poster children of global initiatives: international ivory trading and commercial whaling were banned in the 1980s in the context of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the International Whaling Commission (IWC), respectively. While the conservation of both species is contested, we observe a change of existing norms in one case but not in the other: A moratorium on commercial whaling remains in place. Meanwhile, a limited shift to sustainable use regarding ivory was passed in 1997/2000. We ask why norm change occurred in one case but not the other, given their similarities. We argue that the difference can be explained by the perceived legitimacy of the claims of norm challengers using arguments of “affectedness” and the breadth of issues covered by CITES. In contrast, other factors commonly discussed in norms research do not explain this puzzle: the relative power and strategies of norm advocates and challengers, and the degree of legalization. This shows the interplay of discursive aspects and concrete institutional opportunities for norm change, even in the face of otherwise inopportune conditions.

"In our daily life, the ability of processing the other people's facial features (such as race, emotion, etc.) are of great significance of us to adapt to social environment and participate in social interaction. In this study, a 2 (race: own-race/ other-race) ×2 (emotion: positive/ negative) within-subjects design was used to investigate how the race and emotion on face affect the processing of cognition and the processing of metacognition. There are five tasks: ease-of-learning (EOL) judgement, remembering, judgement of learning (JOL), recognition and judgement of confidence (JOC). The results revealed that :(1) EOL judgement was only affected by race, which showed that participants made higher EOL judgement for other-race faces than for own-race. (2) The processing fluency was only affected by emotion, which showed that participants spend less time for learning the faces with negative emotion. (3) JOL is not only affected by race, but also moderated by emotion. The results showed that: in the positive emotion condition, JOLs of foreign faces was significantly higher than that of native faces, whereas, in the condition of negative emotion, the difference between the two was not significant. (4) Other-race effect was found in recognition scores, and the other-race effect was moderated by emotion. The results showed that the recognition performance of native face was significantly better than that foreign face in the negative emotion condition. In the condition of positive emotion, the difference between the two was not significant. (5) The trend of confidence judgment was the same as recognition scores. The conclusions were as follows :(1) Emotion has a significant influence on face image cod, while race information has a significant influence on face image cod, and emotional information plays a moderating role; (2) The metacognitive processing of face was influenced by multiple factors such as ethnicity, emotion and cognitive processing information. In conclusion, when processing face image, there is significant separation between cognition and metacognition at different stages, under the influence of ethnicity and emotion. In addition, this study also provides a partial explanation for the difference in accuracy between prospective and retrospective metacognitive monitoring."

The Difference

Individual and collective identities always develop in relation to the other as different, and in this process, the otherness is always subjected to the attempts of cultivation/domestication. In the history of European thought, we can recognize three metaphors which express the impossibility of seeing the other as different: the metaphors of The Leper, The Court Fool and The Noble Savage. They developed on the basis of the relationship between the difference and common rationality, which means that a more inclusive relationship to otherness as a conversational ideal could be formed if we were able shift the emphasis of ethical discourse from the universal concept of autonomy to respect for authenticity and to Levinas’s ethics of “the face of the other”. Such a step requires a radical change of discursive practices of all involved in the educational processes. That is why I propose the principle of observing the face of the other as different in both real-life experience and in expressive images of art, as well as the recognition and acceptance of otherness at the very core of our own identity.

SummaryThe authors previously reported a transient decrease in adhesive platelet count and an enhancement of blood coagulability after administration of a small amount of adrenaline (0.1-1 µg per Kg, i. v.) in man and rabbit. In such circumstances, the sensitivity of platelets to aggregation induced by ADP was studied by an optical density method. Five minutes after i. v. injection of 1 µg per Kg of adrenaline in 10 rabbits, intensity of platelet aggregation increased to 115.1 ± 4.9% (mean ± S. E.) by 10∼5 molar, 121.8 ± 7.8% by 3 × 10-6 molar and 129.4 ± 12.8% of the value before the injection by 10”6 molar ADP. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01-0.05). The above change was not observed in each group of rabbits injected with saline, 1 µg per Kg of 1-noradrenaline or 0.1 and 10 µg per Kg of adrenaline. Also, it was prevented by oral administration of 10 mg per Kg of phenoxybenzamine or propranolol or aspirin or pyridinolcarbamate 3 hours before the challenge. On the other hand, the enhancement of ADP-induced platelet aggregation was not observed in vitro, when 10-5 or 3 × 10-6 molar and 129.4 ± 12.8% of the value before 10∼6 molar ADP was added to citrated platelet rich plasma (CPRP) of rabbit after incubation at 37°C for 30 second with 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 or 100 µg per ml of adrenaline or noradrenaline. These results suggest an important interaction between endothelial surface and platelets in connection with the enhancement of ADP-induced platelet aggregation by adrenaline in vivo.

The Relationship

This article reads between two recent explorations of the relationship between religion, chaos, and the monstrous: Catherine Keller’s Face of the Deep and Author's Religion and Its Monsters. Both are oriented toward the edge of chaos and order; both see the primordial and chaotic as generative; both pursue monstrous mythological figures as divine personifications of primordial chaos; both find a deep theological ambivalences in Christian and Jewish tradition with regard to the monstrous, chaotic divine; both are critical of theological and cultural tendencies to demonize chaos and the monstrous; and finally, both read the divine speech from the whirlwind in the book of Job as a revelation of divine chaos. But whereas one sees it as a call for laughter, a chaotic life-affirming laughter with Leviathan in the face of the deep, the other sees it as an incarnation of theological horror, leaving Job and the reader overwhelmed and out-monstered by God. Must it be one way or the other? Can laughter and horror coincide in the face of the deep?
