Received February 12, 2011; accepted April 12, 2011; published online April 15, 2011 Senescence of endothelial cells has been proposed to play an important role in endothelial dysfunction and atherogenesis. In the present study we aimed to investigate whether ginsenoside Rb1, a major constituent of gin- seng, protects endothelial cells from H2O2-induced endothelial senescence. While H2O2 induced premature senes- cent-like phenotype of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), as judged by increased senescence- associated b-galactosidase (SA-b-gal) activity, enlarged, flattened cell morphology and sustained growth arrest, our results demonstrated that Rb1 protected endothelial cells from oxidative stress induced senescence. Mechan- istically, we found that Rb1 could markedly increase intracellular superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD/SOD1) activity and decrease the malondialdehyde (MDA) level in H2O2-treated HUVECs, and suppress the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Consistent with these findings, Rb1 could effectively restore the protein expression of Cu/Zn SOD, which was down-regulated in H2O2 treated cells.

    Running head: CULTURAL SCHEMATA AND RETRIEVAL-INDUCED FORGETTING THE INFLUENCE OF CULTURAL SCHEMATA ON RETRIEVAL-INDUCED FORGETTING AND FALSE MEMORY An Honours Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology Supervised by Dr. Thomas Phenix University of Regina by Tony Ta Regina, Saskatchewan April 2018 © 2018: T. Ta CULTURAL SCHEMATA AND RETRIEVAL-INDUCED FORGETTING i Abstract An active organization of past experiences shared by an entire cultural group is known as cultural schemata (Bartlett, 1932; Garro, 2001). One may fail to recognize a culture-specific action, behaviour, or concept because it is not a part of the individual’s cultural schemata. For instance, extending one’s pinkie and index fingers upward is a gesture commonly used by rock stars. But, it also symbolizes one’s spouse having an affair in Mediterranean countries (Padmavat, 2013). Thus, cultural-context is important when eliciting meaning to individuals of varying cultures. This study examined the ability to memorize culturally foreign concepts by investigating individuals’ susceptibility to retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) and false recognition when presented with narratives containing foreign concepts. RIF is a mental phenomenon that occurs when a target memory is retrieved in the context of high levels of competition from related memories. The retrieval of the target memory suppresses related memories, making them more difficult to access (Anderson, Bjork, & Bjork, 1994). Narratives containing culturally familiar concepts were used as control stimuli. It was hypothesized that participants would experience greater RIF effects, greater false recognition rates, and worse overall memory for the culturally foreign narratives when compared to the culturally familiar narratives.

  • Towards a Psychobiographical Study of Lin Yutang
    What Maketh the Man? Towards a Psychobiographical Study of Lin Yutang Roslyn Joy Ricci School of Social Science/Centre for Asian Studies University of Adelaide November 2013 Abstract Dr Lin Yutang, philologist, philosopher, novelist and inventor was America’s most influential native informant on Chinese culture from the mid-1930s to the mid-1950s. Theoretical analysis of Lin’s accomplishments is an ongoing focus of research on both sides of the North Pacific: this study suggests why he made particular choices and reacted in specific ways during his lifetime. Psychobiographical theory forms the framework for this research because it provides a structure for searching within texts to understand why Lin made choices that led to his lasting contribution to transcultural literature. It looks at foundational beliefs established in his childhood and youth, at why significant events in adulthood either reinforced or altered these and why some circumstances initiated new beliefs. Lin’s life is viewed through thematic lenses: foundational factors; scholarship and vocation; the influence of women; peer input; and religion, philosophy and humour. Most of his empirical life journey is already documented: this thesis suggests why he felt compelled to act and write as he did. In doing so, it offers possible scenarios of why Lin’s talents developed and why his life journey evolved in a particular manner, place and time. For example, it shows the way in which basic beliefs—formed during Lin’s childhood and youth and later specific events in adulthood—affected his life’s journey. It analyses how his exposure to the theories of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism affected his early childhood basic belief—Christianity—and argues that he accommodated traditional Chinese beliefs within Christianity.

  • Food Culture in China: from Social Political Perspectives
    TRAMES, 2018, 22(72/67), 4, 345–364 FOOD CULTURE IN CHINA: FROM SOCIAL POLITICAL PERSPECTIVES Robert Guang Tian1, Kathy Tian2, Zhao Dandan1, and Camilla H. Wang3 1Inner Mongolia University of Finance and Economics, 2University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and 3Shantou University Abstract: Based on anthropological theory on food, this research gives a brief discussion on the development direction of food civilization, analyzes the facts that people’s diet activities and eating behaviors, in the ancient Chinese society centering on the state political power, were controlled or influenced by the political ideology. It also probes the relationship between food culture and social-political traditions. Taking ‘tables’ and ‘banquets’ as the subjects, the paper introduces haute cuisine, everyday food and national dishes from the social stratification of diet. It proposes that the development of Chinese food has been influenced by the ritualized privilege system, noble traditions and applica- tion of ancient science and technology invention of cooking. It responds to Gernet’s idea of poverty stress and Kwang-Chih Chang’s idea of ethos. Through the power symbols of Chinese banquet culture, a banquet level analysis model is presented to pave a path for further empirical study. Keywords: food culture, banquet level, social consciousness, social stratification, power symbol DOI: https://doi.org/10.3176/tr.2018.4.02 1. Introduction In the ancient Chinese society with the state political power as the center, people’s diet activities and eating behaviors were controlled or influenced by political ideology, and they tended to break away from the material joy of the diet itself and transform into non-diet social functions (Huang 2001).

V Olomouci, 29. dubna 2021 Podpis: ................................... ANOTACE V čínské kultuře hrají svátky neodmyslitelnou roli. Cílem této práce je přiblížit jeden z nejvýznamnějších tradičních čínských svátků, svátek Qingming – Svátek čistoty a jasu. Práci jsem rozdělila do dvou částí. V první části podrobně představuji veškeré důležité náležitosti související se Svátkem čistoty a jasu, tj. – historii svátku, pověry a zvyky, tradiční pokrmy i jakým způsobem situace s Covid-19 ovlivnila oslavy svátku. V druhé, praktické části práce specifikuji, jak svátek slaví a vnímají Číňané v současnosti. Metodou mého výzkumu jsou rozhovory s devíti čínskými respondenty, původem z Číny. Na základě odpovědí vyhodnocuji, jaké povědomí mají o historickém kontextu a legendách svátku, čí hroby chodí navštěvovat či jaké obřady dodržují, či jaké připravují pokrmy. Současná situace okolo nemoci Covid-19 poskytla unikátní příležitost komparovat způsob slavení svátku Číňanů před rokem 2020, při pandemickém lockdownu v roce 2020 a také v letošním roce 2021, kdy je situace značně lepší, avšak stále Covidem ovlivněna. Z výsledku výzkumu praktické části vytvářím shrnutí všech důležitých aspektů, které respondenti uvedli.

Chapter One describes the methodological basis. Many ancient Chinese texts underwent periods of oral transmission, but the effect on their form and content has been little researched. Theme and formula are important for understanding the development of these texts. The hegemons are also investigated for the degree to which they conform to greater patterns: the Indo-European models of the hero and good ruler.
