Династия Васнецовых: малые детали большого наследия

The article is devoted to the study of the cultural trace of the Vasnetsov family on the Kuban land, represented by artists (Yury A. Vasnetsov, Elizaveta Yu. Vasnetsova), career soldiers (Nikolai A. Kuznetsov) and teachers (Elena N. Shcherbakova). Based on publications, archival materials stored in the fund of the Krasnodar F. Kovalenko Regional Art Museum, as well as their own findings, the authors restore the once-forgotten connections of the famous name with the city of Yekaterinodar (presently Krasnodar).

Pengaruh Social Context Mobile Marketing dan Brand Equity terhadap Motivasi Perjalanan Wisatawan

In the era of digital information, many visitors get information on social media channels. The travelers or bloggers write their experiences in various places of their tours of the blog page or social media. Generally, this media would be a source of information about people that are interested traveling at any place. Tourist attractions place that has a lot of reviews of social media or web would increase it’s brand equity. A good brand equity would increase travelers' travelled motivation.Firstly, this study aims to identify and understand socomo marketing effects on Travel Motivation. Secondly, to identify and understand Brand Equity effects on Travel Motivation. The last, to identify and understand how brand equity acts as a moderating variable. This study using sampling with Slovin method. The required number of samples is four hundreds that had visited the marine tourism Palembang, Bedegung Waterfall Tourism, Gunung Dempo and Goa Putri.Sample selection using purposive sampling. We got data onto interview and questioners with seven scale likert. The technique used in this study is hypothesis testing using structural equation modeling technique. Firstly, SoCoMo Marketing has not an influence on travel motivation. The role of social media, reviews for attractions in a web and online map accuracy in pointing out places of tourist sites can increase a person's desire to visit it. Secondly, brand equity affects a person to visit a tourist place, the more famous tourist place name would make people feel confident to visit the place. Third, SoCoMo Marketing affects Brand Equity, the more good image and review information would increase the brand equity of tourist attractions thus would enhance tourist travelling.

History of Creation and Activities of the Museum of Folk Architecture and Everyday Life of the Middle Dnieper Ukraine on the Pages of Visnyk Pereiaslavshchyny Newspaper

The article analyzes publications in the columns “Love and Know Your Native Land” of the Pereiaslav-Khmelnytsky newspaper Komunistychna pratsia (Communist Labor; since 1991 – Visnyk Pereiaslavshchyny (Pereiaslav Bulletin)), devoted to the history of the Museum of Folk Architecture and Everyday Life of the Middle Dnieper Ukraine (Pereiaslav, Kyiv region).This column was started by M. Palahuta in 1975 and lasted until 2001. It included such subheadings as “Our Compatriots”, “People of Pereiaslav Land”, “Famous Names of Pereiaslav”, “Museum’s Everyday Life”, “Museums of Pereiaslav”, “History of Local Villages”, “Interesting Finds”, “New Exhibits”, “What the Exhibits Are Telling”, “Guests of the City”, “From the History of the City”, “Interesting Events”, “From the Chronicle of the National Feat”, “Local Studies Work”. The researchers from the Pereiaslav-Khmelnytsky State Historical and Cultural Reserve actively contributed to the column. Among Them Were M. Palahuta, M. Zham, H. Kozii (Sliusar), L. Hodlina, O. Kolomiiets, O. Yuzvikova, Ye. Nesterovska, L. Nabok, and others. The history of formation and development of the Museum of Folk Architecture and Everyday Life of the Middle Dnieper Ukraine became the subject of a careful study conducted by the authors of the column. Particular attention is paid to ethnographic expeditions, search and museumification of monuments, new museum expositions, interesting exhibits, formation of ethnographic collections, anniversaries, folklore and ethnographic mass events, and other achievements in the development of the Pereiaslav skansen.The analysis of publications showed that most of them were informative, revealed the content and nature of scholarly, expeditionary, and exhibition activities of the skansen. Comprehensive study and maintenance of the column publications can be a significant addition to the source base in the study of the formation and development of the Museum of Folk Architecture and Everyday Life of the Middle Dnieper Ukraine. In some cases, out-of-section publications are considered for a better understanding of links between certain topics.

A stimulus set of people famous to current generation Australian undergraduates, with recognition norms for face images and names

ObjectiveWho is famous varies across countries, time and generations. We provide a stimulus set of famous faces and names, plus corresponding recognition norms, useful to Australian researchers testing current generation young adults.MethodsWe created a new face stimulus set, and normed these for recognition by young adult Caucasian Australians, aged 18–32-years, in 2018–2019. Face images were all recent, typical‐appearance, high‐resolution photographs of the target person. To ensure cultural exposure to people famous in Australia (e.g., local politicians), participants had lived in Australia for most or all of their lives. Participants were asked to identify 114 potentially‐famous Caucasian people, then indicated whether they knew each person or not from their name. For 49 of the famous people, recognition rates come from sample sizes of N = 119–143 participants. The remainder are from smaller sample sizes (N = 22–46).ResultsOf the names, 89/114 were recognised at ≥90% accuracy. A subset of 45 people were highly famous from both name‐and‐face. Other subsets had mid‐range recognition accuracy, suitable for name and/or face priming studies. We also report each face image's expression (happy vs. not) and perceived face age (young, middle aged, or older), and provide a set of 24 similar‐attractiveness non‐famous faces.ConclusionsOur stimulus set of famous faces/names, and data on their degree of famousness, may be valuable in many areas of Australian psychological research (e.g., into face recognition mechanisms, social context priming, memory, personality) and practice (e.g., diagnosis of developmental prosopagnosia). The face set is available from the authors.

Behavioural and ERP evidence of the self-advantage of online self-relevant information

The present study examined whether individuals experienced the same cognitive advantage for online self-relevant information (nickname) as that experienced for information encountered in real life (real name) through two experiments at both the behavioural and neural levels (event-related potential, ERP). The results indicated that individuals showed the same cognitive advantage for nicknames and real names. At the behavioural level, a nickname was detected as quickly as the real name, and both were detected faster than a famous name; at the neural level, the P300 potential elicited by one’s nickname was similar to that elicited by one’s real name, and both the P300 amplitudes and latencies were larger and more prolonged than those elicited by other name stimuli. These results not only confirmed the cognitive advantage for one’s own nickname and indicated that this self-advantage can be extended to online information, but also indicated that the virtual self could be integrated into the self and further expanded individuals’ self-concept.

Greater Semantic Memory Activation After Exercise Training Cessation in Older Endurance-Trained Athletes.

To examine the effects of a 10-day exercise-training cessation on semantic memory functional activation in older distance runners. Ten master runners (62.6 ± 7.0years) with a long-term endurance-training history (29.0 ± 6.0years) underwent a 10-day training cessation. Before and immediately after the training cessation, semantic memory activation was measured during the famous name recognition task, using functional magnetic resonance imaging. The 10-day training cessation resulted in greater semantic memory activation in three brain regions, including the left inferior frontal gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus, and inferior semilunar lobule. The 10-day training cessation did not significantly alter famous name recognition task performance. The findings demonstrate that even a relatively short period without exercise training alters the functional activation patterns of semantic memory-related neural networks. Increased semantic memory activation after training cessation may indicate reduced neural efficiency during successful memory retrieval.

Collecting women in geology: opening the international case of a Scottish ‘cabinétière’, Eliza Gordon Cumming ( c. 1798–1842)

Abstract The double meanings of ‘case’ in the subtitle pinpoint the dual investigations of this chapter. It first puts the case for better understanding of women's contributions to ‘serious’ geology in international, as well as national, contexts by overtly collecting British women collectors in the field who contributed to French geological knowledge. It can then unpack the pivotal importance of women's geology collections and women collectors ‘at home’ in the establishment of new global subfields of geological work in the 1840s, despite more famous names being given national and international recognition for key discoveries. Our examination of the geology case in point – the collection and its expert collector, Lady Eliza Gordon Cumming – discloses her international geological expertise but also longer transnational heritage of women's scientific collecting practice. By proposing the French term ‘cabinétière’ to name its clearer status, this chapter investigates the implications of serious retrospective relabelling for geology when a woman discoverer-collector is restored and reconnected to her world collections.

Of logos and men: semantic memory impairment for unique entities in a case of semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia

ABSTRACT In this study, an individual (NG) with the semantic varient of primary progressive aphasis (svPPA) was assessed with tasks designed to investigate the recognition and activation of semantic knowledge about unique entities. NG had significant difficulties in the recognition of brand names and famous names but was largely unimpaired in the recognition of logos and famous faces. However, she was impaired in tasks requiring the activation of semantic representations of logos, brand names, famous faces, and famous names. These results suggest that the recognition of unique entities results from the interaction of perceptual and conceptual processes and, that the ability to activate semantic information about these entities can be affected in svPPA.

Semantic Memory Activation After Training Cessation In Master Athletes

PURPOSE: Despite a robust body of literature demonstrating the salutary effects of exercise on memory, we have yet to learn the link between exercise training cessation and memory in the aging brain. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of 10-day training cessation on semantic memory-related functional activation using task-activated functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in master athletes. METHODS: Twelve master athletes (62.6±7.0 years) with long-term endurance training histories (≥15 years), were recruited from Washington DC area running clubs. Participants were instructed to remain sedentary and perform only activities of daily living for 10 days. Before and immediately after the training cessation period, fMRI semantic memory activation was measured during performance of a Famous and Non-Famous name discrimination task. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in behavioral performance including response time and accuracy between pre- and post-training cessation. The 10-day training cessation was associated with greater semantic memory activation (Famous > Non-Famous) in five out of ten semantic memory-related regions (voxel-wise p < 0.001, FWE p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The present results provide evidence that even a relatively short period of exercise training cessation results in changes in semantic memory network function and suggests reduced neural efficiency during memory retrieval. This study also indirectly indicates potentially detrimental effects of sedentary behavior in older adults and highlights the importance of sustained participation in exercise.

A STEP FORWARD IN FRAUD DETECTION SYSTEM USING MACHINE LEARNING

Machine Learning is considered as one of the applications of Artificial Intelligence that can provide the systems an ability to automatically learn or we can acquire the knowledge itself without being manually programmed. The dream of every online store owner which can be an e-commerce website, online retailers etc. is to become successful and to have a well-recognized startup company or even a famous brand. And it is a proven fact that the more popular or the more famous your brand name is, the more frequently it is to come in eyes of the fraudsters which means it will have a high tendency to become a target of an online fraud. After gathering the information from the various organizations, it was brought into notice that the percentage of the total revenue loss by fraudulent transactions in the year 2018 was 1.80%, which was an increase of 0.28% from the previous year in which the percentage of fraudulent transactions was 1.58%. And it was also noticed that the average cost for each dollar which was lost in the fraud rose by $0.17 from the previous year and reached to $2.94 in the year 2018.A fraudulent transaction generally leads to chargeback which is the sum that is to be returned to the customer by the seller/merchant after a fraudulent transaction has taken place. In processing a chargeback, the merchant has to bear operational cost also which includes transaction fees, legal fees, currency conversions etc. So, the task is to build a model that’s predictive but also minimizes the cost to the company not only by correctly flagging and identifying the fraudulent transaction but also to minimize the cost of wrong predictions.

Historical and modern personality and image as an element of symbolic ethno-national capital of the Republic of Mordovia (2014–2019)

Introduction. Active promotion and positioning of the regions is a condition of their competitiveness, which actualizes the study of imaging practices aimed at creating an attractive image of the territory for various target groups: from federal elites and large businesses to tourists, highly skilled migrants, and the population. The image is based on symbolic capital, which is unique for each region. For Mordovia as a Finno-Ugric Republic in Russia, being unique is associated, firstly, with the use of ethnic symbols (elements of a national costume, Moksha / Erzia embroidery, musical instruments, dishes of national cuisine, etc.). These ethnic symbols actualize “ethnic” memory, national traditions and customs. Secondly, it is associated with the inclusion in the information space of the symbols of regional “pride”, such as “successful” fellow country people, whose positive image stimulates the processes of consolidation and identification. The purpose of this article is to study historical and modern personalities and images used in the formation of image-based visualizations of the Republic of Mordovia. Materials and methods. The methodology was based on the hermeneutic, axiological and communication paradigms. Among the applied methods such focus groups were included into the research as “Image of the Republic of Mordovia: symbols, brands, images”; content analysis of foreign, federal and regional mass media, which chronologically reviewed the publications from 2014 to 2019, etc. Results and discussion. The most recognizable historical characters of Mordovia who resonate with the audience are F. Ushakov, S. Erzia, M. Devyataev. Among contemporaries whose images can present the region, there are the representatives of the politicals (V. D. Volkov, N. I. Merkushkin, P. N. Tultaev) and sports (O. Kaniskina, V. Borchin, S. Kirdyapkin). Conclusion. Using famous names that have a weak or implicit reference to the territory does not always lead to a positive emotional response (especially among visitors), which ultimately reduces the significance of this symbolic element for the republican image and strengthens its counter-narrativeness.

The Last of the Long Takes: Feminism, Sexual Harassment, and the Action of Change

The surging activism of #MeToo has expanded discussion of the revival of feminism and the role of digital activism, and raised questions about potential for lasting change. This is approached by comparing the featured politics of naming in two eras of feminism: the naming of alleged harassers in #MeToo which originated with the claims against Harvey Weinstein by Hollywood identities in 2017; and the naming of sexual harassment as a workplace issue by feminist activists in the 1970s. Anita Hill’s testimony to the US Senate against Clarence Thomas in 1991 is a bridging episode between the eras to which Lauren Berlant responded with her theory of Diva Citizenship and her argument that change depends on the action of the body politic in response to the Diva Citizen. I argue that the historical naming of sexual harassment was a crucial first stage in any lasting change.

HIV-related decreased brain activity during a semantic memory task is reflected in spontaneous brain functional connectivity

BackgroundThe primary goal was to examine HIV-related changes in brain activation during a semantic memory task. The secondary goal was to assess whether the functional connectivity of the brain regions showing altered activity during the semantic memory task is related to HIV serostatus.Participants and procedureThe total group of 17 male subjects, aged on average 44 years, included 8 HIV+/cART+ and 9 demographically matched healthy comparators. Participants completed Famous Names Recognition task-functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and resting state fMRI.ResultsWe found an effect of HIV status on brain activation during the semantic memory task, despite comparable accuracy and reaction time across groups. Compared to healthy individuals, in HIV+ participants recognition of famous names elicited less activity in the fronto-striatal network, particularly in the left caudate nucleus (p = .049), left inferior frontal gyrus (p = .047), left thalamus (p = .031) and right thalamus (p = .047), as well as in the left middle occipital gyrus (p = .028). Although an effect of HIV status on functional connectivity of the brain regions showing altered activity during semantic memory task was not observed, resting-state activation of those regions was significantly correlated with performance on cognitive domains of attention, executive functioning, psychomotor speed and semantic skills.ConclusionsOur findings suggest the presence of functional brain network reorganization in HIV+/cART+ patients, particu-larly in subcortical regions of the fronto-striatal network, in the absence of neurocognitive decline.

Naming famous people through face and voice: a normative study.

Within the large topic of naming disorders, an important and separated chapter belongs to proper names. Defects of proper naming could be a selective linguistic problem. Sometimes, it includes names belonging to various kinds of semantically unique entities, but other times, it has been observed for famous people proper names only. According to Bruce and Young's model, different stages allow to recognize, identify, and name famous people from their faces and voices, subsuming different anatomical pathways, both in right temporal lobe, and their different efficiency in this task. The present study aimed to report the normative data concerning the naming of the same famous people from voice and face. One hundred fifty-three normal subjects underwent a test in which they were requested to name famous people from their face and from their voice. The stimuli belonged to the previously published Famous People Recognition Battery. The mean percentage score on naming from face was 84.42 ± 12.03% (range 55.26-100%) and the mean percentage score on naming from voice was 66.04 ± 16.81% (range 28.13-100%). The difference observed in performance by face and by voice resulted significant (t|153= 15.973; p< 0.001). Regression analyses showed that the percentage score obtained on naming from faces was predicted by education, whereas naming from voice was predicted by education and gender. Naming from voice is more difficult than from face, confirming a different difficulty of the two tasks. Education showed high predicting value for faces and less for voices, whereas gender contributed to predict results only for voices.

Eaux thermales et thermalisme en dermatologie au xixe siècle

Jean-Louis Alibert (1768-1837), Pierre-Alphée Cazenave (1802-1877) and Ferdinand von Hebra (1846-1880) are among the most famous names of the XIXth century dermatology. All were interested in hydrotherapy and mineral waters. Alibert was especially fond of sulfurous waters from the Pyrenees, for treating almost every inflammatory disease, like psoriasis, chronic eczema and even hair diseases or cheloids. He mentioned very often the use of mineral waters in his two masterpieces, Description des Maladies de la peau (1806) and Clinique de l'Hôpital Saint-Louis (1833). In case patients were not able to travel and spend times at thermal stations, he recommended artificial waters made by pharmacists in specialized places in Paris, consisting in water plus minerals, in order to obtain a composition close to natural spring waters. Around 1850, Cazenave also used mineral waters and hydrotherapy, mainly sulfurous waters. In Vienna, von Hebra was more reluctant to the use of mineral water, as he believed that the time spent in baths was more important than the composition of the water itself. Adrien Doyon (1827-1907), who translated Hebra's book in French, strongly disagreed with him, as he had a dermatology private practice in Uriage, in the French Alps. Modern hydrotherapy in dermatology is clearly in relation with this XIXth century tradition. © 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
