Headline - comparison of headlines in tabloid and serious press and their internet version

Cílem této práce bylo vysledovat obecné tendence při tvorbě titulků v bulvárních a seriózních tiskovinách a jejich internetových verzích. Základem pro tuto práci byl vzorek titulků z dvanácti novin, které vyšly v lednu a únoru roku 2013. Na základě stylistické a pragmatické analýzy a komparace těchto titulků lze vyvodit následující závěry. Analyzované titulky se odlišují grafickou úpravou a použitými jazykovými prostředky. Bulvární média se snaží zaujmout potenciální čtenáře především grafickou úpravou titulků, zatímco seriózní média kladou větší důraz na obsah titulků. Pro bulvár jsou charakteristické barevné titulky, verzálky a přesah titulků do ostatních komponent článku. Titulky seriózních médií jsou tištěny černou barvou a stojí na stránce samostatně. Jedním z rozdílů mezi titulky bulvárních a seriózních médií je jejich délka - bulvár obvykle volí kratší titulky než média seriózní. Základ titulků by měl tvořit neutrální spisovný jazyk, přesto se v titulcích seriózních a bulvárních médií vyskytují i nespisovné výrazy. Titulky bulvárních médií na rozdíl od titulků médií seriózních obsahují expresivní příznaky. Výpovědi v titulcích mají nejčastěji funkci asertivní, dále funkci interogativní a direktivní. Bulvární média častěji než média seriózní volí v titulcích výpovědi s funkcí interogativní.The aim of this study was trace the general tendence in the produce of headlines in the tabloid and serious press and their internet versions. The basis for this work was a sample of twelve newspaper headlines that came out in January and February 2013. There were drawn following conclusions on the basis of stylistic and pragmatic analysis and comparison of these titles. Analyzed subtitles are different designs and used language tools. The tabloid media is trying to attract potential readers, especially graphic design titles, while serious media put more accent on the content of the title message. The tabloid headlines have characteristic color caps and overhang headling to other cell components. Headlines of serious media are printed in black and stands on the site separately. One of the differences between tabloid headlines and serious media is their length - tabloid usually decide for shortes ones than the serious media. Basis subtitles should form a neutral literary language, yet there are presented present colloquial expressions in the headlines of tabloids and media. Tabloid headlines include expressive sign unlike the serious media headlines. Statements in the headlines are assertive and have interrogative and directive use. The tabloid media uses interrogative function in headlins more than the...Katedra českého jazykaFaculty of EducationPedagogická fakult

Prediction of treatment response and the effect of independent component neurofeedback in obsessive-compulsive disorder: a randomized, sham-controlled, and double-blind study

International audienceAIMS: The goal of this study was to assess the effect of independent component neurofeedback (NFB) on EEG and clinical symptoms in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Subsequently we explored predictors of treatment response and EEG correlates of clinical symptoms. METHODS: In a randomized, double blind and parallel design 20 in-patients with OCD underwent 25 sessions of NFB or sham feedback (SFB). NFB aimed at reducing EEG activity in an independent component previously reported abnormal in this diagnosis. Resting state EEG recorded before and after the treatment was analysed to assess its post-treatment changes, relationships with clinical symptoms and treatment response. RESULTS: Overall, clinical improvement in OCD patients was not accompanied by EEG change as assessed by standardized low-resolution electromagnetic tomography and normative independent component analysis. Pre- to post-treatment comparison of the trained component and frequency did not yield significant results, however, in the NFB group, the nominal values at the down-trained frequency were lower after treatment. The NFB group showed significantly higher percentage reduction of compulsions compared to the SFB group (p=0.015). Pre-treatment higher amount of delta (1 - 6 Hz) and low alpha oscillations as well as lower amount of high beta activity predicted a worse treatment outcome. Source localization of these delta and high beta oscillations corresponded with previous EEG resting state findings in OCD patients compared to healthy controls. CONCLUSION: Independent component NFB in OCD proved useful in percentage improvement of compulsions. Based on our correlation analyses we hypothesize that we targeted a network related to treatment resistance

The Effects of Daytime Psilocybin Administration on Sleep: Implications for Antidepressant Action

Serotonergic agonist psilocybin is a psychedelic with antidepressant potential. Sleep may interact with psilocybin’s antidepressant properties like other antidepressant drugs via induction of neuroplasticity. The main aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of psilocybin on sleep architecture on the night after psilocybin administration. Regarding the potential antidepressant properties, we hypothesized that psilocybin, similar to other classical antidepressants, would reduce rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and prolong REM sleep latency. Moreover, we also hypothesized that psilocybin would promote slow-wave activity (SWA) expression in the first sleep cycle, a marker of sleep-related neuroplasticity. Twenty healthy volunteers (10 women, age 28–53) underwent two drug administration sessions, psilocybin or placebo, in a randomized, double-blinded design. Changes in sleep macrostructure, SWA during the first sleep cycle, whole night EEG spectral power across frequencies in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and REM sleep, and changes in subjective sleep measures were analyzed. The results revealed prolonged REM sleep latency after psilocybin administration and a trend toward a decrease in overall REM sleep duration. No changes in NREM sleep were observed. Psilocybin did not affect EEG power spectra in NREM or REM sleep when examined across the whole night. However, psilocybin suppressed SWA in the first sleep cycle. No evidence was found for sleep-related neuroplasticity, however, a different dosage, timing, effect on homeostatic regulation of sleep, or other mechanisms related to antidepressant effects may play a role. Overall, this study suggests that potential antidepressant properties of psilocybin might be related to changes in sleep

Functional-imaging and electrophysiological correlates of obsessive-compulsive disorder and their potential use in neurofeedback intervention

Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common mental disorder that may seriously affect quality of life and even the ability to work. Despite advanced medical care there are still patients who do not respond or do not respond sufficiently to treatment. Recently proposed treatment strategies such as deep brain stimulation or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation have targeted several levels of fronto-striatal circuits which dysfunction underlies OCD pathophysiology. Likewise, neurofeedback (NFB) could target dysfunctional fronto-striatal networks by providing almost real- time feedback about their activity. As the success of these methods critically depends on good knowledge of dysfunctional loops in OCD, a more detailed investigation of neurobiological basis of this disorder is highly needed. Aims: The aim of the first part of this dissertation was to provide an overview of the current literature related to OCD and NFB. The second section of the thesis is based on five original studies of the author that were conceived to 1) explore anatomical correlate of OCD in our patients, 2) to verify its functional relevance and specificity in electroencephalographic (EEG) studies, and 3) to test the utility of the findings in NFB treatment of OCD. Methods: In our studies we included..
