When and How Implicit First Impressions Can Be Updated
2019
Human perceivers continually react to the social world implicitly—that is, spontaneously and rapidly. Earlier research suggested that implicit impressions of other people are slower to change than self-reported impressions in the face of contradictory evidence, often leaving them miscalibrated from what one learns to be true. Recent work, however, has identified conditions under which implicit impressions can be rapidly updated. Here, we review three lines of work showing that implicit impressions are responsive to information that is highly diagnostic, believable, or reframes earlier experience. These findings complement ongoing research on mechanisms of changing implicit impressions in a wider variety of groups, from real people to robots, and provide support for theoretical frameworks that embrace greater unity in the factors that can impact implicit and explicit social cognition.

Learning from the past: reinterpreting heritage for sustainable apartment buildings in Baghdad
2026
Baghdad's housing sector faces significant challenges today. In addition to the pressing housing shortage and the country's general environmental issues, the sector is grappling with an identity crisis stemming from Westernization and weak regulatory enforcement. A gradual shift towards vertical housing projects, as a swift response to the growing demand for housing units, could be a viable option, provided that the actual contextual issues are carefully addressed. This study positions Baghdad's architectural heritage as a source of timeless, locally grounded solutions capable of addressing the sustainability challenges facing this vital sector. It explores the potential of utilizing traditional architectural features originally developed for single-family dwellings in apartment buildings while preserving their environmental role. Qualitative research methodology is employed, combining descriptive and comparative analysis of traditional environmental features and their applications in existing projects from the Middle East. The findings validate that enhancing the environmental performance of vertical housing is achievable through the strategic reinterpretation of heritage-based elements, revealing several environmentally appropriate solutions for Baghdad's context that reinforce the city's local identity. A conceptual framework is presented to enable contemporary architects to meaningfully integrate traditional environmental strategies into modern buildings while avoiding misinterpretation or superficial use.

Agroecological analysis of traditional practices in the Yaquivá Indigenous Resguardo (Inzá, Cauca, Colombia)
2025
Colombian ethnographic literature reveals a significant gap in systematized documentation of traditional practices. This study examines agroecological practices within the Yaquivá community, focusing on those at risk of disappearing, as a contribution to the socio-agricultural revalorization of local knowledge. Using Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology, the research documented both the underlying causes of practice decline and potential recovery strategies. The study differentiates between practices experiencing gradual loss and those demonstrating resilience. The Community Educational Project (CEP) of the Jiisa Fxiw Agroecological School emerges as a crucial platform for strengthening and recontextualizing traditional practices, particularly the minga (collective work system), hand-to-hand labor exchange, and the Tul (ancestral household garden), elements that integrate technological, social, and spiritual dimensions. Findings demonstrate that the erosion of biological diversity parallels the loss of cultural diversity. Food production related to cultural heritage, intrinsically linked to the community’s worldview, has diminished substantially, creating dependency on external inputs with severe economic, environmental, and social implications. Results indicate that the Yaquivá educational community recognizes threats to its cultural legacy and underscore the need to counter the expansion of conventional agriculture. Dentro de la literatura etnográfica colombiana, se carece de registros que sistematicen las prácticas tradicionales. Se planteó como objetivo analizar desde la agroecología las prácticas tradicionales, con énfasis en aquellas amenazadas en desaparecer, como aporte a la resignificación socioagricultural en la comunidad yaquiveña. La metodología de investigación utilizada se basó en Investigación Acción Participativa (IAP); se documentó la razón de pérdida de las prácticas tradicionales y algunas alternativas de recuperación; las prácticas que se están perdiendo y las que todavía se realizan. El Proyecto Educativo Comunitario (PEC) del colegio agroecológico Jiisa Fxiw está contemplado como oportunidad para fortalecer y resignificar las prácticas tradicionales, entre ellas, la minga (el sistema del trabajo colectivo), el intercambio de trabajo mano a mano y el Tul (el jardín ancestral del hogar) como componentes que integran lo tecnológico, social y espiritual. Se concluyó que aunada a la pérdida de la diversidad biológica ha sucedido también la pérdida de la diversidad cultural. Se ha reducido el acervo cultural ligado a la producción de alimentos asociado a su cosmovisión y como consecuencia se ha incrementado el uso de insumos externos, con graves consecuencias económicas, ambientales y sociales. Los resultados señalan que la comunidad educativa yaquiveña es consciente de las amenazas y riesgos que penden sobre su cultura y que el énfasis de sus respuestas debe enfocarse en tratar de revertir este tipo de agricultura convencional.

Ipostaze Ale Lui Ulise În Lirica Lui Blaga, Voronca Și Sorescu
2021
This study is based on the analysis of the ancient Greek myth of Ulysses, which has been reproduced in various reinterpretations over time. However, the purpose of this paper is to highlight the myth of Ulysses in the vision of three important Romanian writers: Lucian Blaga, Ilarie Voronca and Marin Sorescu. To be more specific, the work will focus on the hypostases in which the protagonist of the Odyssey is outlined in the verses of these writers. We will notice during the research that, in the case of each writer mentioned above, Ulysses acquires personal nuances with an impressive note of originality.

Common and differential neural networks of emotion regulation by Detachment, Reinterpretation, Distraction, and Expressive Suppression: A comparative fMRI investigation
2014
Emotions are an indispensable part of our mental life. The term emotion regulation refers to those processes that influence the generation, the experience and the expression of emotions. There is a great variety of strategies to regulate emotions efficiently, which are used in daily life and that have been investigated by cognitive neuroscience. Distraction guides attention to a secondary task. Reinterpretation, a variant of cognitive reappraisal, works by changing the meaning of an emotional stimulus. Detachment, another reappraisal strategy, refers to distancing oneself from an emotional stimulus, thereby reducing its personal relevance. Expressive Suppression modifies the behavioral or physiological response to an emotional stimulus. These four strategies are not equally effective in terms of emotion regulation success and have been shown to partly rely on different neuronal systems. Here, we compare for the first time the neural mechanisms of these typical strategies directly in a common functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) paradigm of downregulation of negative emotions. Our results indicate that three of those strategies (Detachment, Expressive Suppression and Distraction) conjointly increase brain activation in a right prefronto-parietal regulation network and significantly reduce activation of the left amygdala. Compared to the other regulation strategies, Reinterpretation specifically recruited a different control network comprising left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and orbitofrontal gyrus and was not effective in downregulation of the amygdala. We conclude that Detachment, Distraction and Expressive Suppression recruit very similar emotion regulation networks, whereas Reinterpretation is associated with activation of a qualitatively different network, making this regulation strategy a special one. Notably, Reinterpretation also proved to be the least effective strategy in neural terms, as measured by downregulation of amygdala activation.

The evolving evidence base for the interpretation of variants identified in genetic and genomic testing has presented the genetics community with the challenge of variant reinterpretation. In particular, it is unclear whether an ethical duty of periodic reinterpretation should exist, who should bear that duty, and what its dimensions should be. Based on an analysis of the ethical arguments for and against a duty to reinterpret, we conclude that a duty should be recognized. Most importantly, by virtue of ordering and conducting tests likely to produce data on variants that cannot be definitively interpreted today, the health-care system incurs a duty to reinterpret when more reliable data become available. We identify four elements of the proposed ethical duty: data storage, initiation of reinterpretation, conduct of reinterpretation, and patient recontact, and we identify the parties best situated to implement each component. We also consider the reasonable extent and duration of a duty, and the role of the patient’s consent in the process, although we acknowledge that some details regarding procedures and funding still need to be addressed. The likelihood of substantial patient benefit from a systematic approach to reinterpretation suggests the importance for the genetics community to reach consensus on this issue.

In the consciousness of language users, there is an inherent awareness of an elaborated wordformative system, which was welldocumented in the second half of the 20th century. However, each derivatologist knows very well that apart from phenomena which are strongly representative of this system, its order is disturbed by various processes. The first one in the order of precedence is the lexical factor – words which arise in accordance with the derivationrelated rules are fused with the bulk of the lexicon and they are subject to the same transformations as the nonderived lexemes. But there may arise a discrepancy between the word form and the motivating word due to the semantic shift manifested by one of these elements. Then, the phenomena of
occur which regulate the relations between the founding and the founded word. In the next part of the article, the author discusses borrowings from foreign languages which also disturb the order of the wordformation system, for as a rule, meanings of borrowed nouns refer to the name of an action and the name of the performer of an action. However, in Slavic languages, the foundations of these categories feature verbal instead of nominal elements. In that case, there arise verbs, usually in
, and then – the process of
occurs. The word formation system is also disturbed by processes which apply to the sphere of inflexion. The article discusses

Structural change and employment growth in India: reinterpreting 'manufacturing as an engine of growth'
Purpose: The present paper aims to highlight how manufacturing expansions under conditions of increasing returns, which involve the growth of intermediate goods specializations, support advanced service employment. In addition, the increasing use of manufacturing products in services highlights additional, new service sector employment opportunities. Design/methodology/approach: This paper investigates (1) the manufacturing and service interactions and (2) the investment behaviour in manufacturing using Auto-Regressive Distributed lags (ARDL) and Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models. The models allow for different specifications to study whether investment behaviour in manufacturing supports dynamic manufacturing and service interactions. Findings: The results underpin how Kaldorian manufacturing as an engine of growth is still relevant in Indian growth and is key to achieving higher advanced employment, export-orientation and services and manufacturing nexus outcomes. What matters, though, is that manufacturing investments are to be guided mainly by intermediate goods specializations. The slowdown of these specializations, explaining the slowdown of manufacturing investment, is therefore, a concern. Originality/value: A reinterpretation of manufacturing as an engine of growth in which primacy is given to investment behaviour in technical progress functions that can support the growth of specializations in manufacturing and such specialized service employment.

Abstract
Reinterpretation and distancing are two cognitive reappraisal tactics, used to regulate one’s emotions in response to emotion-eliciting stimuli or situations. Relatively less is known about their (differential) lasting effects on emotional responding and related neural correlates. This functional magnetic resonance imaging study investigated 85 healthy females, participating in a 2-day cognitive emotion regulation experiment. On the first day, participants were instructed to passively look at, reinterpret or distance from repeatedly presented aversive pictures. One week later, they were re-exposed to the same stimuli without regulation instruction, in order to assess lasting effects. The main outcome measures comprised ratings of negative feelings and blood-oxygen-level-dependent responses. Lasting effects for reinterpretation compared with looking at aversive pictures during passive re-exposure 1 week later were reflected in stronger activation of the left amygdala, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and reduced negative feelings. Neither distancing compared with looking at aversive pictures nor reinterpretation compared with distancing did result in significant effects during re-exposure. These findings indicate that reinterpretation leads to reduced negative feelings 1 week later, which might be mediated by inhibitory vmPFC activation or stronger positive emotions during re-exposure. However, the missing difference compared with distancing questions the specificity of the results and the mechanisms underlying these two cognitive reappraisal tactics.
