In 2014, tech leader and burgeoning art collector Komal Shah's "eyes were opened to what she described as vast inequities faced by women artists in market prices, museum acquisitions and overall visibility in the art world." ⁠ ⁠ She has since assembled one of the most notable collections in America. "Made predominantly by generations of women working in abstraction, from the mid-20th-century artists Joan Mitchell and Lenore Tawney to the young contemporary painters Firelei Báez and Jadé Fadojutimi, the collection isn’t obviously about gender. Rather, it embodies a feminist perspective through its bold expressiveness."⁠ ⁠ Read more about Ms. Shah, the collection and the superb forthcoming 432-page catalog, 'Making Their Mark: Art by Women in the Shah Garg Collection,' in this @nytimes feature by @hilariesheets via linkinbio⁠ ⁠ 'Making Their Mark: Art by Women in the Shah Garg Collection' is published by @gregoryrmiller⁠ ⁠ Edited with text and interview by Mark Godfrey, Katy Siegel. ⁠ Text by Daniel Belasco, Glenn Adamson, David J.

Horror Still Lives in Hollywood Studios Today

During the 1900s, the American studio system saw a shift of studios shaping their house staples around budget, genre, and talent. The two most notable studios that where known by their specific styles were RKO Radio Pictures for its low-budget horror films and Universal Studios for its “monster films.”

RKO Radio Pictures is remembered for its low-budget psychological horror films that address moral dilemmas and combine them with supernatural elements. In the 1940s, RKO produced two films by Val Lewton, Cat People (1942) and Isle of the Dead (1945), that were riddled with the same themes of superstition and fear with the prominent use of shadows to create an eerie atmosphere. Cat People dealt with a woman afraid she will transform into a cat and is a descendent of an ancient tribe of cat people, and Isle of the Dead explored themes of superstition and fear of the unknown, in the context of a plague. In both films, superstition plays a huge element which is emphasized through their atmospheric and moody settings, and the use of shadows, lighting, and sound design to create a sense of tension and unease. “The distinction of Lewton’s films is further emphasized by their supposed prescience: if, as Wood maintained, they ‘seem to have had little direct influence on” the ‘evolution’ of the horror film, this was supposedly due to the ways in which they ‘strikingly anticipate, by at least two decades, some of the features of the modern horror film’ (Wood, Hollywood 85). Similarly, Gifford has referred to Cat People (1942) as ‘a minor masterpiece that changed the face of horror films’ (161), and Frank has claimed that the Lewton productions were “the most powerful influence in horror films during the 1940s’ (42).” (Jancovich, 21-22). The performances from the actors were also intriguing and believable on such a low budget, giving RKO more praise in the horror genre. Both films are driven by these character’s stories and their psychological struggles and internal conflicts.

These narratives are also both wrapped up in historical and cultural context, with Cat People incorporating Serbian folklore, and Isle of the Dead being set during the Greek War of Independence. These time periods, when meshed with the film noir techniques, made them the successful horror films they are. It was said that Cat People saved RKO’s horror exploration, “...Lewton’s feline females eventually scared more than $3 million out of audiences. His secretary, Verna De Mots, said, ‘Cat People saved RKO when it was practically bankrupt.’ (Siegel, The Reality of Terror, 40)” (Vieira, 4-5) Overall, RKO’s ability to create an eerie environment with their use of lighting and shadows, such authentic talent, and appeal to relevant themes on such a low budget, showed their effective approach to horror, setting the tone for future RKO films.

During the 1920s-30s, Universal was producing successful monster films that were pioneering the new era of horror cinema. For Universal Studios, many of these greatest success films featured dark themes, murders, and monsters, releasing horror films that paved the way for how monsters would act and look in horror films. After the success of Dracula (1931), Universal saw their opportunity to take over the monster film business and make frightening movies that scared and excited audiences. This fueled many films made by Universal where a misunderstood monster experiences oppression from society, drawing in many studio talents for future movies and stories similar to it.

The original Frankenstein (1931)  was the prototype not only for the dozens of Frankenstein movies but also for the creation of “mad-scientist” horror films, “The social context of Whale’s Frankenstein films, and of the Universal production output during the 1930s in general, cannot be underestimated. David J. Skal writes that Frankenstein’s monster was ‘like a battered hood ornament for a wrecked economy’ (Skal, 1992: 132).” (Smith) With the success of these movies, Universal became know as the studio to make “monster movies.”

In today’s Hollywood, with Marvel and DC banging out superhero movie after superhero movie, the idea of studios only producing one genre of film still exists today, however, it has become boring after a while. However, studios like A24 and Blumhouse are kind of taking over this idea of producing similar genres but they all have different stories and messages just like RKO and Universal Studios did back in the 20s-30s. With the recent success of Talk to Me (2023), A24 is definitely a front-runner in studios that produce horror and thriller films that is reinventing horror. Many of these films are also lower budget, making it, in a way, the present-day RKO.

"CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST BOSWORTH," Toronto Star. November 27, 1913. Page 2. ---- Hydro-Electric Collector Sent to Prison for Nine Months. ---- POLICE COURT CASES ---- Walter F. Cooper, collector and accountant for the Hydro-Electric, was to-day sentenced to nine months in the Central Prison, pleading guilty to stealing $402 from his employers.

William J. Bosworth, manager of the Rosedale Hotel, was remanded till tomorrow on a charge of aggravated assault on a man who was disorderly in his hotel. Bosworth is said to have thrust the man out of the hotel and the man preferred the charge.

On $3,000 bail each, Sollie Siegel, David Garrison, and Nathan Robinowitz, were sent up to a jury on a charge of stealing Mrs. Theodore Aisthorpe's purse. Mrs. Aisthorpe said she did not notice her purse being taken, and missed it only when she got on the car.

Hiram Paisley was fined $10 and costs or 30 days for trespass on the home of Samuel Ryan, 200 Spadina avenue.

Samuel Porter, one of the "idle poor," as they say in the police court, was fined $10 and costs or 60 days on a charge of vagrancy, which included the charge that he had been loafing for six months.

In the conviction of Stephen Nagle on a charge of vagrancy in the Police, Court to-day, Inspector Dickson and, his plainclothesmen, McConnel and Dawn, finished up a case of the hardest type in police work. Nagle is about 40 years of age. He hangs around York street, and according to the inspector and his two sidesmen, he is acquainted with all the liquor dives in the small slum section. But Nagle is wiley, and produced time tickets and pay envelopes to show how much he works. He was fined $20 and costs or 60 days.

Sporten voor duurzaam leiderschap

Nicky Van Belle – URUZ Coaching

  Inleiding

 Sporten is gezond, dat is algemeen geweten. Dat sporten ook bijdraagt aan een betere gezondheid van ons brein, werd de afgelopen decennia, mede dankzij de technologische en neurowetenschappelijke vooruitgang, duidelijk aangetoond. Meer zelfs, sporten kan onze cognitieve prestaties bevorderen: het zorgt voor een betere doorbloeding van onze hersenen, wat natuurlijk de hersenfunctie ten goede komt; sportieve mensen slapen doorgaans beter, wat de geheugenconsolidatie bevordert; sporten werkt stress-reducerend waardoor we helderder kunnen nadenken; en door, tijdens het sporten, te deconnecteren van onze problemen en uitdagingen, stimuleren we incubatie – het proces dat voor het gekende ‘eureka-moment’ zorgt. En dit zijn dan nog maar enkele van de positieve effecten van sport op onze hersenfunctie. Op basis van hiervan, kan wel gesteld worden dat sporten bijdraagt aan de gezondheid en betere werking van ons brein – althans op indirecte wijze.

In dit literatuuronderzoek willen we echter nagaan of er ook een direct verband te leggen valt tussen sporten en een betere cognitieve functie van ons brein. Met andere woorden, wanneer we de positieve effecten door een betere doorbloeding, minder stress, gezonder slaappatroon, etc. wegnemen, draagt sporten dan nog steeds bij aan performantere hersenen? We gaan dus, kort gezegd, naast de reeds aangetoonde correlatie, op zoek naar de causaliteit tussen sporten en het bevorderen van cognitieve functies. Meer nog: we kaderen dit binnen het thema van leiderschap en onderzoeken of sporten een positieve invloed heeft op ons leiderschap – het soort leiderschap dat vandaag de dag nodig is, hence the title: ‘duurzaam leiderschap’.

  Literatuuronderzoek

 Het uitgangspunt van ons onderzoek is dat er weldegelijk een direct, causaal verband is tussen sporten en beter leiderschap. Dat doen onze eigen ervaringen ons althans sterk vermoeden. Maar laat ons misschien eerst starten met wat we onder ‘duurzaam leiderschap’ verstaan.

AQ is het nieuwe goud…

Er zijn weinig onderwerpen waarover er de afgelopen decennia zoveel boeken, artikels en blogs zijn verschenen als over leiderschap. Tijdens de COVID-19 – pandemie kende dit nog een verdere exponentiële groei – waar we zelf een zeer bescheiden bijdrage aan mochten leveren – want onze bestaande leiderschapsparadigma’s bleken niet langer afdoende. Naast enkele algemene leiderschapscompetenties, zoals empathie, ondernemerschap, besluitvaardigheid, communicatieve skills en een hele rist andere generieke vaardigheden, is het kunnen omgaan met verandering, complexiteit en onzekerheid en de hiermee gepaard gaande mate van zelfcontrole, of regulering van onze emoties, de afgelopen jaren almaar belangrijker geworden. We leven immers in een, vergeef ons het acroniem dat we zelf reeds beu gehoord zijn, VUCA-wereld. Het recentelijk verschenen boek van Prof. Steven A.Y. Poelmans, Paradoxes of Leadership, beschrijft mooi hoe deze complexiteit zich vertaalt naar de kunst van leiderschap. AQ, adaptability quotient, en niet langer IQ of zelfs EQ, is het nieuwe goud in de business wereld: zich op een positieve manier kunnen aanpassen in en aan de steeds sneller veranderende noden en context. Zo komen we algauw uit bij het begrip neuroplasticiteit: het vermogen van ons brein om zich steeds opnieuw aan te passen aan nieuwe uitdagingen, situaties en noden. En deze plasticiteit mag vrij letterlijk genomen worden. Immers, zo stelt Cotman in Exercise: a behavioral intervention to enhance brain health and plasiticy, de oorspronkelijke definitie van neuroplasticiteit als zijnde het vermogen om nieuw gedrag te vertonen en zich zinvol aan te passen in functie van wat nodig is, ook wel behavioral plasticity genoemd, gaat ook gepaard met structurele veranderingen in onze hersenen op cellulair, moleculair en systemisch niveau. Intussen zijn er veel definities van neuroplasticiteit. Laten we het voor dit onderzoek houden op: het adaptieve vermogen van onze hersenen in functie van de vraag door zich te herstructureren en anatomische en functionele neurologische veranderingen door te voeren. We gaan dus, met andere woorden, in ons literatuuronderzoek op zoek naar het verband tussen sporten en neuroplasticiteit.

Sporten … activeert bepaalde moleculaire en cellulaire processen die neuroplasticiteit ondersteunen en bevorderen.

Een eerste duidelijke aanwijzing vinden we in The Healthy Mind Platter (David Roch, Daniel J. Siegel, Steven A.Y. Poelmans en Jessica Payne) waarin de auteurs vanuit een neurowetenschappelijke kijk op leiderschap stellen dat de plasticiteit van onze hersenen verbeterd kan worden door te sporten. Dit houdt dus in dat sporten een positieve invloed op cognitieve functies zoals aandacht, leervermogen, geheugen, zeker op latere leeftijd en in verband met degeneratieve hersenaandoeningen of hersentrauma, menen de auteurs. Dit wordt verder nog beaamd door talloze artikels en studies rond de voordelen van sporten op de gezondheid en het herstel van ons brein, waarvan er enkele vermeld werden in onze referentielijst. Sporten, aldus de auteurs in The Healty Mind Platter, activeert bepaalde moleculaire en cellulaire processen die neuroplasticiteit ondersteunen en bevorderen. Meer specifiek, wordt de aanmaak van brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gestimuleerd. BDNF is een molecule die, onder andere, in verband wordt gebracht met synaptische groei en betere synaptische activiteit en overdracht, neurogenese en een toename van leer- en cognitief vermogen. Dat de toename in BDNF door te sporten zich voornamelijk in de hippocampus situeert, het gedeelte van onze hersenen gelinkt aan de meer complexe cognitieve vaardigheden (zoals iets nieuws leren, wat op zich ook een vorm van verandering is), lijkt dit te ondersteunen. Is dit dan een eerste bewijs van de causaliteit tussen sporten en neuroplasticiteit?

… sporten bevordert de expressie van genen die geassocieerd kunnen worden met neuroplasticiteit.

We zetten ons onderzoek verder en dankzij de referentielijst van The Healthy Mind Platter, komen we uit bij Carl W. Cotman. Misschien kan zijn baanbrekend onderzoek doorslaggevend zijn. Cotman gaat dieper in op wat reeds aangehaald werd in The Healthy Mind Platter. Zowel in Exercise: a behavioral intervention to enhance brain health and plasticity als in Exercise Enhances and Protects Brain Function toont hij, door zijn onderzoek op muizen, aan dat sporten – in dit geval dus lopen in een rad -  leidt tot een verhoging van BDNF, dat deze toename zich voornamelijk in de hippocampus situeert en dat dit ook zorgt voor verbeterde cognitieve prestaties (blijkbaar kan men dit ook meten bij muizen). Zijn onderzoek op muizen toont ook aan dat er een lineair verband is tussen de hoeveelheid sport en de toename van BDNF en dat het effect van stress (en verandering, zoals we weten, brengt stress met zich mee), dat de BDNF-levels verlaagt, gecounterd kan worden door te sporten. Sporten als antagonist voor stress en als wondermiddel om met verandering om te gaan? BDNF, aldus Cotman, verhoogt het vermogen van de synapsen om verandering te encoderen – neuroplasticiteit dus. Het is nu wel duidelijk: sporten bevordert de expressie van genen die geassocieerd kunnen worden met neuroplasticiteit, zoals BDNF.

Resten mij nog 2 vragen: kan dit onderzoek van Cotman zomaar geëxtrapoleerd worden naar mensen?; en is  er in deze optiek een voorkeur voor type sport: cardio of kracht?

… naast BDNF, stimuleert sporten ook de aanmaak van andere genen die in verband kunnen worden gebracht met neuroplasticiteit, zoals IGF-1.

Laat ons aanvangen met de 2e vraag: ons eigen vermoeden neigt naar de hypothese dat het vooral duursport is dat bijdraagt aan meer neuroplasticiteit. We hebben hier geen argumenten voor, behalve dan dat duursporten de indirecte effecten van sport op onze breingezondheid, zoals kort aangehaald aan het begin van dit artikel, meer in de hand werken. Maar, zoals gezegd, we gaan op zoek naar de directe link. Ons vermoeden lijkt echter ook bevestigd te worden door de meeste artikels en studies die we vinden. Of het nu gaat om studies op muizen, of onderzoek naar sport in functie van herstel na breintrauma, of hoe bewegen ouderdomsziektes zoals Alzheimer en andere vormen van dementie kan vertragen, of depressie tegengaat, …, steevast worden aërobe vormen van sport naar voor geschoven. Opnieuw vinden we een hint in Cotman (2002): naast BDNF, stimuleert sporten ook de aanmaak van andere genen die in verband kunnen worden gebracht met neuroplasticiteit, zoals insuline-like growth factor (IGF-1). En dat doet een belletje rinkelen: IGF-1 speelt namelijk een belangrijke rol in het herstel van spierschade door krachttraining. Kort gezegd: anaërobe training leidt tot een ophoping van lactaat in onze spieren Dit lactaat zorgt voor spierschade waardoor de aanmaak van het groeihormoon IGF-1 wordt gestimuleerd. Dit groeihormoon zorgt er voor dat de spiercellen worden hersteld en er hypertrofie optreedt. In ons brein lijkt IGF-1 daarnaast ook een rol te spelen als precursor voor BDNF: IGF-1 reguleert de expressie van BDNF. Dus dan toch (ook) krachttraining?

… er is algemeen tot dusver te weinig onderzoek verricht op mensen om tot een sluitend causaal verband te komen … Er zijn vooral veel hypotheses.

Ons onderzoek brengt ons bij Stein et al, Physical exercise, IGF-1 and cognition. A systematic review of experimental studies in the elderly. Dit vrij recente artikel opent meteen met een ontnuchterende conclusie: ‘er is algemeen tot dusver te weinig onderzoek verricht op mensen om tot een sluitend causaal verband te komen. De gevoerde onderzoeken en resultaten verschillen daarenboven sterk in functie van geslacht, leeftijd, initiële breingezondheid, type sport, intensiteit, … Er zijn vooral veel hypotheses. Meer onderzoek is nodig.’ Dit beantwoordt meteen ook mijn eerste openstaande vraag… IGF-1 en BDNF, zo stellen Stein et al. verder, zijn belangrijk voor plasticiteit en cognitieve functies, maar de causaliteit met sport is complex en niet lineair. Het lijkt er inderdaad sterk op dat sporten IGF-1 en BDNF niveaus reguleert – waarbij IGF-1 als mediator fungeert voor het effect van sporten op plasticiteit – en cognitieve performantie verhoogt. Echter, dit werd niet in ieder onderzoek, dat aan de criteria van Stein beantwoordde om als relevant beschouwd te worden, aangetoond. Sommige studies toonden effectief het verband tussen sporten, een toename van IGF-1 en BDNF en verbeterde cognitieve functies en neuroplasticiteit aan, terwijl bij andere de toegenomen BDNF en IGF-1 niveaus zich niet vertaalden in een sterker cognitief vermogen. In enkele gevallen leidde sporten zelfs tot een afname van de aan neuroplasticiteit gelinkte moleculen, wellicht door overtrainen.

Het onderzoek van Stein et al. toont echter wel aan dat krachttraining de aanmaak en circulatie van IGF-1 in de hersenen sterk bevordert én dat IGF-1, zoals eerder gesteld, op zijn beurt de expressie van BDNF stimuleert. De huidige studies lijken er verder op te wijzen dat krachttraining efficiënter is voor de aanmaak van IGF-1 dan aërobe sporten, maar dat aëroob trainen meer effect heeft op het cognitief vermogen (de concrete toepassing van neuroplasticiteit) – misschien door de indirecte effecten zoals een betere doorbloeding. Kort geschetst, bevordert aëroob sporten de expressie van BDNF, en anaëroob sporten de aanmaak van IGF-1. Wat het echter nog interessanter maakt, is dat beide moleculen een invloed lijken te hebben op andere cognitieve vaardigheden! Cardio én kracht dus!

  Conclusie 

De neurowetenschap is één van de jongste wetenschappelijke domeinen en ondanks de razendsnelle vooruitgang van de laatste jaren, mede dankzij de technologische evolutie, staat dit onderzoeksveld nog in zijn kinderschoenen. Neuroleiderschap, de neurowetenschappelijke benadering van leiderschap, is al helemaal nog maar aan zijn eerste pasjes toe. Desalniettemin zijn de reeds beschikbare onderzoeksresultaten veelbelovend en hoopgevend in het kader van neurologisch herstel na hersentrauma; het tegengaan en vertragen van degeneratieve ouderdomsziektes zoals dementie; als remedie voor depressie; … en dus ook in het domein van leiderschap.

In onze literatuurstudie gingen we op zoek naar het causale verband tussen sporten en duurzaam leiderschap, waarbij dat laatste vooral slaat op het kunnen omgaan met verandering en we dit linkten aan neuroplasticiteit. Het lijkt er sterk op dat sporten de aanmaak van moleculen bevordert die bijdragen aan neuroplasticiteit. Verder suggereren de huidige studies dat zowel kracht- als duursporten hiertoe bijdragen. Hoe, wanneer en waarom (of waarom ook niet) dit zich vertaalt in een grotere effectieve neuroplasticiteit en verbeterde cognitieve functies, is nog onduidelijk. Er is op dit moment te weinig systematisch en structureel onderzoek gevoerd bij mensen om een eenduidig direct verband te kunnen leggen tussen sporten en meer neuroplasticiteit. Dit verband, dat er waarschijnlijk weldegelijk is, is uiterst complex, niet lineair en wordt beïnvloed door verschillende onderling afhankelijke parameters. Zoals Stein et al. reeds zeiden: meer onderzoek is nodig!

Dan toch niet sporten voor duurzaam leiderschap? Uiteraard wel! Zelfzorg is wellicht de belangrijkste leiderschapsvaardigheid vandaag de dag, en sporten hoort hierbij. In het slechtste geval verbetert het ‘enkel’ onze lichamelijke gezondheid en draagt het, zij het dan op indirecte wijze, bij aan een betere gezondheid van ons brein en een verhoging van onze cognitieve functies. Wij geloven echter ook rotsvast in het directe effect van sporten op neuroplasticiteit en zien sport als onderdeel van de toolkit van de moderne en duurzame leidinggevende. Het is slechts een kwestie van tijd vooraleer de wetenschap dit eenduidig en ontegensprekelijk aantoont.

Afsluiten doen we graag met nog een bevinding van Cotman (2002): in zijn onderzoek naar het effect van sport op neuroplasticiteit bij muizen, bleek dat de toename van BDNF enkel optrad bij vrijwillige beoefening van sport. Gedwongen sporten leidde zelfs tot een afname van BNDF… Voer tot nadenken!
