    Direction of Biological Motion Affects Early Brain Activation: A Link with Social Cognition

    A number of EEG studies have investigated the time course of brain activation for biologicalmovement over this last decade, however the temporal dynamics of processing are stilldebated. Moreover, the role of direction of movement has not received much attention eventhough it is an essential component allowing us to determine the intentions of the movingagent, and thus permitting the anticipation of potential social interactions.In this study, we examined event-related responses (ERPs) in 15 healthy human partici-pants to light point walkers and their scrambled counterparts, whose movements occurredeither in the radial or in the lateral plane. Compared to scrambled motion (SM), biologicalmotion (BM) showed an enhanced negativity between 210 and 360ms. A source localiza-tion algorithm (sLORETA) revealed that this was due to an increase in superior and middletemporal lobe activity. Regarding direction, we found that radial BM produced an enhancedP1 compared to lateral BM, lateral SM and radial SM. This heightened P1 was due to anincrease in activity in extrastriate regions, as well as in superior temporal, medial parietaland medial prefrontal areas. This network is known to be involved in decoding the underly-ing intentionality of the movement and in the attribution of mental states. The social meaningsignaled by the direction of biological motion therefore appears to trigger an early responsein brain activity

    Safeguarding and exploiting Cultural Heritage induce the production of numerous and heterogeneous data. The management of these data is an essential task for the use and the diffusion of the information gathered on the field. Previously, the data handling was a hand-made task done thanks to efficient and experienced methods. Until the growth of computer science, other methods have been carried out for the digital preservation and treatment of Cultural Heritage information. The development of computerized data management systems to store and make use of archaeological datasets is then a significant task nowadays. Especially for sites that have been excavated and worked without computerized means, it is now necessary to put all the data produced onto computer. This allows preservation of the information digitally (in addition with the paper documents) and offers new exploitation possibilities, like the immediate connection of different kinds of data for analyses, or the digital documentation of the site for its improvement. Geographical Information Systems have proved their potentialities in this scope, but they are not always adapted to the management of features at the scale of a particular archaeological site. Therefore this paper aims to present the development of a Virtual Research Environment dedicated to the exploitation of intra-site Cultural Heritage data. The Information System produced is based on open-source software modules dedicated to the Internet, so users can avoid being software driven and can register and consult data from different computers. The system gives the opportunity to do exploratory analyses of the data, especially at spatial and temporal levels. The system is compliant to every kind of Cultural Heritage site and allows management of diverse types of data. Some experimentation has been done on sites managed by the Service of the National Sites and Monuments of Luxembourg

    Integration of Heterogeneous Cultural Heritage Data in a Web-based <br />Information System: A Case Study from Vianden Castle, Luxembourg

    ISBN 978-963-8046-90-1International audienceThe project presented here proposes the first implementation of a Web-based Information System for the conservation, handling, and use of site data. The case study is the castle of Vianden in Luxembourg, on which considerable archaeological data have accumulated over the years. There is a recognized need in archaeology for a tool that will allow for fast, effective, and flexible exploratory analysis of data, especially at spatial and temporal levels. We have developed such an Information System with maximal portability by using Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) for data exchange. Our system consists of several interfaces permitting different types of access to heterogeneous information. We propose a description of the data in textual interfaces along with images, and dynamic links to this data through interactive 2D and 3D representations. The 2D images, photos, or vectors are generated in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), while 3D models are generated in X3

    Morfologia de grãos de pólen e esporos de níveis holocênicos de uma vereda do Chapadão dos Gerais (Buritizeiro, Minas Gerais), Brasil

    Spores of bryophytes and pteridophytes, and pollen grains of gymnosperms and angiosperms are analyzed from 15 samples of a 150 cm long sediment core collected in a palm swamp growing in central Brazil. The core represents a time span between 11.370+70 and 1440+25 years BP. The morphology of 92 taxa identified was described and illustrated, and the modern ecological appeals inferred from the extant related taxa were provided. The descriptions and illustrations intend to contribute to the knowledge of the Cerrado pollen flora and provide reference material to paleoenvironmental reconstruction in areas today covered by this or related biomas. Key words: Cerrado, Holocene, pollen grains, spores, morphology, palm swamp.Esporos de briófitas e pteridófitas e grãos de pólen de gimnospermas e angiospermas foram obtidos em quinze amostras de um testemunho de sedimentos holocênicos, de 150 cm de profundidade, coletado em uma vereda no Chapadão dos Gerais, em Buritizeiro (Minas Gerais, Brasil). As idades radiocarbônicas variaram entre 11.370+70 anos AP na base do testemunho e 1440+25 anos AP no nível do topo. Os 92 táxons identificados foram descritos em suas características morfológicas e abordados em seu habito e habitat, a partir das informações existentes para as plantas modernas relacionadas. As formas identificadas e ilustradas contribuem para o conhecimento da flora polínica do Cerrado e constituem material de referencia na identificação de palinomorfos em trabalhos de reconstituição do paleoambiente em áreas hoje cobertas ou relacionadas a este bioma.Palavras-chave: Cerrado, Holoceno, grãos de pólen, esporos, morfologia, vereda

    Promoting Health in Mental Health

    Primary Focus: Mental Health Learning Objectives: Objective 1: Identify and describe occupational therapy’s role in promoting healthy behaviors in individuals with serious mental illness. Objective 2: Discuss current evidence supporting interventions that fall within occupational therapy’s scope of practice for individuals with serious mental illness. Objective 3: Describe the clinical implications of the findings to OT practice and research. Abstract: A substantial number of adults in America are living with a serious mental illness (SMI). Individuals with SMI demonstrate a high prevalence of various chronic diseases. Mental health plays a major role in an individual’s ability to engage in healthy behaviors, such as physical activity, diet, sleep, and medication management4. Occupational therapists (OTs) are trained to address the areas that directly impact maintaining a healthy lifestyle for individuals with SMI. Authors conducted an exhaustive literature search and critical review to find evidence supporting OTs role in promoting healthy behaviors for individuals with SMI. The database search included: CINAHL, PsycINFO, and PubMed. Articles were included if published within the past five years, addressed adults with a primary medical diagnosis of SMI, and were within the OT scope of practice. Authors excluded substance abuse disorders, eating disorders, and interventions directed at caregivers. Articles were critiqued using the Evaluation of Quality of an Intervention Study1, Critical Review Form- Qualitative Studies 2, and PRISMA Checklist3. Review of the literature supports OTs role in promoting healthy behaviors for individuals with SMI. Authors found evidence to support interventions within, and enhanced by, the OT scope of practice; motivation as an integral aspect of adherence to treatment; and a need to measure outcomes that fall within the OT scope of practice. The literature search yielded several clinical and research implications for OTs role in promoting healthy behaviors for individuals with SMI. The literature revealed a deficit in the areas of motivation and adherence, occupation-based interventions, routines and habits, and the impact of social participation on healthy behaviors. OTs are uniquely positioned to address these areas with our scope of knowledge, assessments, evaluations and theories. Additionally, the literature revealed an underrepresentation of OT within interdisciplinary treatment teams. One component of this is a lack of understanding of OTs contribution in promoting healthy behaviors in individuals with SMI. Findings also indicate a possible lack of advocacy by OTs in the area of mental health. Furthermore, the literature was exclusively published by professionals outside of OT. These findings indicate that OTs need to perform high-level research to support the role of OT in promoting healthy behaviors for individuals with SMI. Presentation: 42 minute
