Embodied Interiority In The Shishinden: Ritual Space, Political Symbolism, And Interior Experience In Japanese Imperial Architecture, İlknur Yüksel Schwamborn Jan 2026

Embodied Interiority In The Shishinden: Ritual Space, Political Symbolism, And Interior Experience In Japanese Imperial Architecture, İlknur Yüksel Schwamborn

Interiority

This study investigates the Shishinden, the principal ceremonial hall of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, as a site where spatial hierarchy, ritual movement, and material atmosphere converge to construct a unique form of interiority. Rather than treating the hall merely as a stylistic or historical artifact, the paper analyses how interior experience is actively produced through embodied ritual practices, symbolic spatial organisation, and sensory orchestration. By focusing on the interaction between architecture, politics, and cultural cosmology, the study demonstrates how the Shishinden functions as an affective interior that communicates imperial authority and sacred order. The findings contribute to contemporary interiority discourse …


A Heterogeneous Population Code At The First Synapse Of Vision, Tessa Herzog, Takeshi Yoshimatsu, Jose Moya-Diaz, Ben James, Leon Lagnado, Tom Baden Jan 2026

A Heterogeneous Population Code At The First Synapse Of Vision, Tessa Herzog, Takeshi Yoshimatsu, Jose Moya-Diaz, Ben James, Leon Lagnado, Tom Baden

Vision begins when photoreceptors convert fluctuations in light intensity into temporal patterns of glutamate release that drive the retinal network. The input-output relation at this first stage has not been studied in vivo so it is not known how it operates across a photoreceptor population. Using glutamate imaging in zebrafish, we find that individual type 1 cones (PR1; ancestral red cones), which dominate daylight vision in non-avian vertebrates, encode visual stimuli with high reliability and time-precision but routinely vary in sensitivity to luminance, contrast and frequency across the population. Variations in input-output relations are generated by feedback from the horizontal …


Comparison Of The Behavior Of Semiconductor Lasers Under The Influence Of Changing Bias Current With Optoelectronic Feedback, Tareq A. Al Attabi, Salam Jasim Majeed, Muwaffaq Abdullah Jan 2026

Comparison Of The Behavior Of Semiconductor Lasers Under The Influence Of Changing Bias Current With Optoelectronic Feedback, Tareq A. Al Attabi, Salam Jasim Majeed, Muwaffaq Abdullah

AUIQ Conference Proceedings

Direct pump modulation is one feature of semiconductor lasers that sets them apart from other types of lasers. Another degree of flexibility is the injection current disruption. Consequently, instabilities are caused by the disruption of the injection current in semiconductor lasers, and the modulation of the injection current does in fact show instabilities and chaotic behaviors. This research investigates a comparative study between conventional and nanoscale semiconductor lasers. The occurrence of different laser outputs from both types of semiconductor lasers, including the typical output from these devices as well as periodic, multi-periodic, aperiodic, and chaotic ones that arise from injection …


Defective Viral Genomes: Emerging Therapeutic Tools For Animal Viral Infections, Saad Hashem Ghmeiss, Ali Abdul-Jassim Alwan Jan 2026

Defective Viral Genomes: Emerging Therapeutic Tools For Animal Viral Infections, Saad Hashem Ghmeiss, Ali Abdul-Jassim Alwan

AUIQ Conference Proceedings

Defective Viral Genomes (DVGs), which are viral genomes that are defective in some way, are naturally occurring byproducts of viral replication in numerous RNA viruses, notably Orthomyxoviridae (Influenza virus), Filoviridae (Ebola and dengue), and Paramyxoviridae (Respiratory Syncytial). They have three well-defined functions: interference with regular virus replication, immunostimulation, and virus persistence. DVGs are defective viral genomes that can hijack the replication cycle of wild-type viruses, leading to partial or complete suppression of viral populations. A variety of new DVGs are created through infection of the host by one of these viruses. The researchers devised a strategy for identifying those most …


Critical Design And The Robotic Imaginary: Design Criticism And Critical Robots, Jörgen Behrendtz Jan 2026

Critical Design And The Robotic Imaginary: Design Criticism And Critical Robots, Jörgen Behrendtz

The Journal of Sociotechnical Critique

This paper brings critical design and design criticism to critical robot studies. Critical design can be described as an umbrella term for approaches making use of speculative designs to highlight and challenge narrow assumptions, preconceptions or even taken-for-granted truths about the role products play (in a wide sense) in everyday life. Design criticism refers to a reasoned procedure that investigates emancipatory and/or limiting potentials of designs, theorizes the roles of affordances, materials and embodied perception as epistemological resources in media interaction, and clarifies connections between specific design choices and their associated experiential qualities, seductive powers, ideological underpinnings, material operations, and …

Comorbidity Of Cerebral Palsy And Bipolar Disorder In Two Adolescents: Case Series, Ayda Beril Nas Ünver, Merve Onat, Esra Çöp Jan 2026

Comorbidity Of Cerebral Palsy And Bipolar Disorder In Two Adolescents: Case Series, Ayda Beril Nas Ünver, Merve Onat, Esra Çöp

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common condition in children that affects movement and posture due to non-progressive disruptions during cerebral development. Patients with CP are at a higher risk of developing mental health disorders due to social and physical factors. 28%–57% of children diagnosed with CP exhibit psychiatric diagnoses or symptoms. The symptoms of intellectual disability and related behavioral disorders that are often associated with cerebral palsy can be easily confused with the symptoms of a mood disorder. Therefore, there is a possibility of a delay in the diagnostic procedure and the commencement of treatment, which could potentially endanger the …


Psychological Factors And Family Communication In Children And Adolescents With Elimination Disorders, Mehdi Ebrahimi, Hossein Mousavi Nasab, Mehrdad Hosseinpour, Noshirvan Khezri Moghadam Jan 2026

Psychological Factors And Family Communication In Children And Adolescents With Elimination Disorders, Mehdi Ebrahimi, Hossein Mousavi Nasab, Mehrdad Hosseinpour, Noshirvan Khezri Moghadam

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Background: Elimination disorders, such as urinary (enuresis) and fecal incontinence (encopresis), involve inappropriate voiding beyond the expected age due to developmental, psychological, or physiological factors. These conditions impact children’s emotional well-being, self-esteem, social functioning, and family relationships. However, few studies have compared psychological functioning and family communication in affected children. This study examines general health, behavioral problems, and mother-child relationships in children with elimination disorders versus healthy peers. Methods: Seventy-two children participated: 25 with urinary incontinence, 24 with fecal incontinence, and 23 healthy controls. Participants were recruited from hospitals in Isfahan. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires: the General Health …


Teachers' Knowledge And Attitudes About The Fed Jan 2026

Teachers' Knowledge And Attitudes About The Fed

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

A survey of teachers in the Fed's twelfth district investigates knowledge about how the central bank influences the economy. Focusing on teachers from different content areas, we find that teacher knowledge, for the most part, varies as expected given different teaching disciplines. Teachers are more aware of the Fed's goal of price stability than full employment and score relatively high on questions relating to current events. As well, teachers with more knowledge were more likely to have positive attitudes about the job the Fed was doing. We recommend improving Fed communications to improve economic education for teachers and the public.

The Glass Planet, Eimile J. O'Hara Jan 2026

The Glass Planet, Eimile J. O'Hara

Night Flight: Online Literary Journal

The Glass Planet is a speculative science fiction short story set on Virellen, a world made entirely of living crystal that communicates through sound and resonance. When a young human researcher detects a dangerous anomaly beneath the planet’s surface, she forms an unlikely alliance with a member of an alien species to prevent the reawakening of an ancient crystal intelligence. As the planet destabilizes, the story explores themes of cooperation, balance, and the consequences of ignoring warning signs in unfamiliar worlds.


Examining Neural Correlates Of Sexual Preferences Between Persian Homo- And Heterosexual Males Using Psychological Assessments And Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging In Specifying Cognitive Map: A Limited And Cross-Sectional Study, Abdollah Khorshidi Jan 2026

Examining Neural Correlates Of Sexual Preferences Between Persian Homo- And Heterosexual Males Using Psychological Assessments And Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging In Specifying Cognitive Map: A Limited And Cross-Sectional Study, Abdollah Khorshidi

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Although the brain is an important part of a person’s sexual life, little is known about the correlations between sexual response and brain activation. This study examines brain response through clinical testing to reveal a number of brain structures whose activation are relevant to sexual arousal besides psychological testing according to the common traditional values and standards of Iranian society. Based on initial self-report, 25 homosexual and 25 heterosexual males participated in this test to elucidate the identity and sexual trends via Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2). Also, an fMRI technique — by presenting distinct homo- and heterosexual sex erotic …

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Posterior fossa hemorrhage (PFH) is a highly morbid condition in preterm and term infants. In this article, we aim to first describe a case of posterior fossa hemorrhage (PFH) and using this example, provide a comprehensive narrative review of the pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and management of PFH. Management may differ depending on the etiology and based on careful consideration of the risks and benefits of surgical versus conservative management.
