The ethnographic study of the Zápara case brings new and original data about memory building processes. The Amazonian Zápara achieve knowledge about their past through dreams that also have a fundamental role in their daily life. We will see how their history is constructed by means of dream experiences, and how these are used strategically in the present. Dreams, furthermore, guarantee the cultural and ritual continuity of this group on the verge of extinction. [less ▲]

Song activation by testosterone is associated with an increased catecholaminergic innervation of the song control system in female canaries

In canaries, singing and a large number of morphological features of the neural system that mediates the learning, perception and production of song exhibit marked sex differences. Although these differences have been mainly attributed to sex-specific patterns of the action of testosterone and its metabolites, the mechanisms by which sex steroids regulate brain and behavior are far from being completely understood. Given that the density of immunoreactive catecholaminergic fibers that innervate telencephalic song nuclei in canaries is higher in males, which sing, than in females, which usually do not sing, we hypothesized that some of the effects induced by testosterone on song behavior are mediated through the action of the steroid on the catecholaminergic neurons which innervate the song control nuclei. Therefore, we investigated in female canaries the effects of a treatment with exogenous testosterone on song production, on the volume of song control nuclei, and on the catecholaminergic innervation of these nuclei as assessed by immunocytochemical visualization of tyrosine hydroxylase. Testosterone induced male-like singing in all females and increased by about 80% the volume of two telencephalic song control nuclei, the high vocal center (HVC) and the nucleus robustus archistriatalis (RA). Testosterone also significantly increased the fractional area covered by tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive structures (fibers and varicosities) in most telencephalic song control nuclei (HVC, the lateral and medial parts of the magnocellular nucleus of the anterior neostriatum, the nucleus interfacialis, and to a lesser extent RA). By contrast, testosterone did not affect the catecholaminergic innervation of the telencephalic areas adjacent to HVC and RA. Together these data demonstrate that, in parallel to its effects on song behavior and on the morphology of the song control system, testosterone also regulates the catecholaminergic innervation of most telencephalic song control nuclei in canaries. The endocrine regulation of singing may thus involve the neuromodulatory action of specialized dopaminergic and/or noradrenergic projections onto several key parts of the song control system.

This research discusses the status of female auditors in Lebanon with a special emphasis on individual career and family concerns. It attempts at investigating the status of female auditors, and at pointing out the major hindrances that they face when trying to achieve a balance between career and family life; thus, issues such as organizational, individual, and social factors are discussed. The focus is to discuss the status of female Lebanese auditors through analysis and conclusions drawn from practical experience and to present a model of the issues in relation to certain variables and factors. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect the data. Results show that the above-mentioned factors, cross-referenced with the glass ceiling, work life balance, and turnover, are combined. Research revealed that many factors mold the status of female auditors in Lebanon. The limitations of the study stem from the fact that no such studies have been conducted in Lebanon and, thus, the literature review was mainly constructed on published research done in the West. Results reveal that the individual Lebanese female auditor is faced with a glass ceiling only because she chose her family over her career, and when she chose to leave the profession (turnover) it was because of her family duties, the long working hours, stress, and work life balance that forced her to make a choice between herself as a career women, or as a mother and wife. The study is aimed at establishing possible relationship between academia, audit profession, and the business market. [less ▲]
