Knowledge engineering for a database between botany and art.

We present the knowledge organisation of a database, which aims to collect information for the project "Plants in European Masterpieces". This project is financed by the European Union within the Culture 2000 program. The project is aimed to link art with plants within the frame of a common European history and to make it accessible to a wide public. The informatics aspect of this project is focused on the creation of a data base which collects detailed information on selected plants and masterpieces in which these plants are presented. The main efforts in the design phase have been devoted to knowledge organisation in order to retain the taxonomic structure of the botanical knowledge, and to minimise data structure redundancies by linking some features which can be applied to the plants at different levels of their taxonomy to the correct level without repeating it. At present the database is installed in the Pc of all the experts that in the 5 involved countries collaborate to collect data for this project. This data is weekly merged in a central database, using a specific automatic procedure that avoids possible duplications of data inserted and checks for possible inconsistencies among data inserted in different temporal databases. The multi-language and easy to use features of this data base make it an interesting prototype for the spreading of scientific information to common public

[The clinical medicine: Is it science or art? Some epistemological considerations on medicine].

The Author examines the problem if the Clinical Medicine is science or art. After distinguishing the Clinical Medicine from Bio-medicine, he briefly considers the concept of reductionism, anti - reductionism and holism. Therefore, he examines the differences between the Medicinal Pathology and the Clinical Medicine. He studies the scientific value of the Clinical Medicine, concluding that Clinical Medicine is a science - a creative science.

[Drawings and art work in systemic family therapy].

As in most other forms of psychotherapy, creative media are an essential ingredient of systemic therapy with children, adolescents and their families. Therapists cannot rely solely on verbal interventions but rather have to utilize the natural tendency of children to express themselves through drawings and art. The therapeutic functions of creative expression in systemic therapy are being discussed. An overview of a variety of techniques with case examples is given that illustrates the many forms and uses of creative techniques in systemic family therapy.

[Why do so many arts and social scientists have huge difficulties accepting (evolutionary)biologically based opinions for gender differences].

The contribution deals with the wide-spread rejection of (evolutionary) biological founded statements concerning sex differences by social sciences and arts, which are not based on objective objections, but are ideologically justified. The starting point therefore is to be seen in the justified critique of the biological legitimized racism and sexism in the sixties and seventies of the last century. The continuation of this rejecting position, though the modern biology has changed itself essentially, can be explained psychologically by Festinger's "Theory of Cognitive Dissonance".

Affordance-controlled bifurcations of action patterns in martial arts.

Effects of participant-target distance and perceived handstriking efficiency on emergent behavior in the martial art of boxing were investigated, revealing affordance-controlled nonlinear dynamical effects (i.e. bifurcations) within the participant--target system. Results established the existence of critical values of scaled distances for emergence of first time excitations and annihilations of a diverse range of boxing actions i.e. on the appearance and dissolution of jabs, hooks and uppercuts. Reasons for the action diversity were twofold: (a) topological discontinuous changes (bifurcations) in the number of possible handstrikes, i.e. motor solutions to the hitting task; (b) fine modification of probabilities of emergence of striking patterns. Exploitation of a 'strikeability' affordance available in scaled distance-to-target information by boxers led to a diversity of emergent actions through a cascade of bifurcations in the task perceptual-motor work space. Data suggested that perceived efficiency (E) of an action changed as a function of scaled distance (D) and was correlated with the probability of occurrence of action patterns (P), exhibiting the following dependence P = P(E(D)). The implication is that probability of occurrence (P) depends on efficiency (E), which in turn depends on scaled distance (D) to the target. Accordingly, scaled distance-dependent perceived efficiency seems a viable candidate for a contextual (control) parameter to describe the nonlinear dynamics of striking actions in boxing.

A waste disposal program for a university art department.

With the introduction of hazardous waste regulations on May 19, 1980, many of the wastes generated and disposed of by university art departments are now considered hazardous wastes by law. Pollution Control, an operational department within Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, charged with the environmental compliance of the University, has developed a hazardous waste management program for the safe and proper disposal of these wastes. Wastes that can pose a threat not only to the artist, but also to the disposer of the wastes and the environment, are included in this program to prevent haphazard or indiscriminate disposal. Major functions of the program include identification of such wastes, collection, storage, treatment, and, finally, environmentally safe disposal of the waste.

[Creative arts activity in manually handicapped patients].

Congenital or acquired conditions directly or indirectly causal in total or partial impairment of manual function are set out. The possibilities for creative-expressive activity, using various techniques, nothwithstanding manual disabilities are pointed out. In Cefischer, who until his war-related loss of both upper limbs had been a renowned cartoonist, a comparison of his works, drawn initially by hand and later with the mouth, reveals his characteristic style of expression having remained the same. Further examples are given of creative expression in the presence of manual disability even under extreme circumstances (such as 11 years of confinement to the Iron Lung). Arts and crafts work of persons with leprosy-related manual handicaps are mentioned; typewriter graphics as a method inaugurated by Basset is presented as used in young people with total manual disability. Partial disability of manual function due to arthritis was present in Renoir, Jawlensky, and Grandma Moses, the course of their conditions is described over time. Contents and form of their pictures, after long years of being manually disabled, do not reveal any essential changes in comparison to their earlier ones.

Otto Lanz, surgeon and art collector.

Otto Lanz (1865-1935) was educated in Switzerland, where he was trained in the surgical clinic of Theodore Kocher. In 1902, he was appointed as a professor of surgery in Amsterdam, remaining there until his death. He was wellknown for his surgery of the thyroid gland and for his studies on the vermiform appendix. He defined a point in acute appendicitis, to which his name has been eponymously attached (Lanz's point). His wide scope of interests is pictured, ranging from his invention of meshing a split-skin graft, to his antithyroid therapy, giving thyreotoxic patients the milk to drink of thyroidectomised goats. Apart from his professional achievements, he was a great connoisseur and passionate collector of Italian Renaissance art. Part of his collection was exhibited in the Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam, as perpetuated in the Lanz room until acquired for Hitler's proposed Führermuseum during World War II. After the capitulation, the collection was returned to The Netherlands.

North American Indian rock art and hallucinogenic drugs.

It is proposed that the aboriginal rock paintings in two areas of North America may have been produced by shamans while they were under the influence of hallucinogenic agents derived from plants. The first of these areas is the Chumash and Yokuts Indian region of California, where polychrome paintings show designs similar to those visualized during the trance induced by decoctions of jimsonweed (Datura species). The second area is the lower Pecos River region of Texas, where shamanistic figures display traits considered to be conceptual analogues of the mescal bean (Sophora secundiflora) cult as practiced during historic times by Great Plains Indians. Although the evidence is only circumstantial, the proposed connections between these rock drawings and mind-expanding pharmacologic compounds fit well into the documented relationship that encompasses hallucinogenic drugs and certain movable objects of pre-Columbian American art.

Anatomy as art and science.

Anatomy is the science that deals with morphology, in both non-living and living organisms or any of their parts, from the submolecular level to man and his environment. It correlates structure to function in the study of physiopathologic phenomena as applied to the practice of medicine and related medical or health fields. Anatomists seek morphological values and study human biological universality and variation in individuals and in populations at all levels of structure, ranging from macroscopy of organic systems, their arrangement, interaction and combination, to the microscopy of subcellular components. In brief, at each moment and at all levels, "form is the plastic image of function" (Ruffini 1925). As an art, anatomy expresses the harmonious combination of form and function.

Psychopathology of expression and psychoanalysis. The influence of the therapist's analytic orientation on the patient's art product.

The graphic symbols produced by patients in analysis are essentially determined by the therapist's interpretations in the early stages of graphic communication. The patient learns the 'symbol language' of the therapist. The more intense the transference, the more evident is the adaptation of the graphic symbolism in the patient's art product to the symbol language of the therapist's analytical school. Sample cases, with predominantly Freudian or Jungian symbols in the patient's sequential graphic expressions, document that conflict resolution can be achieved equally well through different methods of graphic symbol interpretation. In any of the analytic methods, the impact of therapy can be enhanced by the use of graphic language between the analyst and patient.
