Los clásicos de la teoría sociológica en los debates contemporáneos: Weber, Durkheim y Simmel
Authors: Díaz Sandoval Mariela , Espejel Espinoza Alberto
Published: March 2024

El objetivo del trabajo es dar cuenta de la pertinencia de los clásicos (Weber, Durkheim, Simmel) a la luz de problemas y procesos que atañen a las sociedades contemporáneas. Para ello, se revisaron artículos académicos en diversas bases de datos. El trabajo muestra que Durkheim, Weber y Simmel siguen teniendo vigencia pues permiten dar cuenta de aspectos nodales para las ciencias sociales. La limitación principal consiste en que no se trata de una revisión exhaustiva, pues ello derivaría en un artículo por cada autor, dada la complejidad de su obra. La originalidad del trabajo reside en mostrar investigaciones que recuperan, discuten y contextualizan a los clásicos para mejorar la comprensión de problemas contemporáneos. En ese sentido, los hallazgos muestran que la relevancia de Durkheim estriba en revisitar problemas como el suicidio y la violencia. Mientras que las categorías weberianas de racionalidad, carisma, burocracia, patrimonialismo y Estado siguen siendo objeto de debate. Además, Simmel ha legado categorías como interacción social, moda y distancia social que no han perdido relevancia académica. De ahí que, se concluye que en el caso mexicano, el aumento de la violencia a raíz de la Guerra contra el narcotráfico es un problema sobre el que los clásicos de la sociología son de gran valía.

Authors: Martínez Cárdenas Alán Alejandro , Rodríguez Burgos Karla Eugenia , Morcote González Olga Sofía
Published: March 2024

Uno de las características principales que distingue a una democracia es la participación política de sus ciudadanos. Sin ella, los esfuerzos de los gobiernos se verían opacados por la falta de legitimidad y de atención a las necesidades vitales de su población. Por lo anterior, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo identificar los tipos de participación política del Área Metropolitana de Monterrey, Nuevo León, con el fin de contribuir en la generación de estadística que permita medir los niveles de participación política en Nuevo león, aportando elementos para el análisis, el desarrollo y el interés político de este País. Para cumplir los objetivos del presente artículo se analizaron 1,842 encuestas aplicadas en el Área Metropolitana de Monterrey, tomando en cuenta la participación política directa, indirecta y no convencional de los encuestados. Los resultados reflejan el poco interés en los asuntos políticos por parte de los neoleoneses, que, aunque el presente estudio no contempla las causas, refleja un alto índice de desafección política en ellos.

La idea de revolución en el pensamiento de Bolívar Echeverría
Authors: Mancha Martínez Erick
Published: March 2024

Este escrito tiene como propósito el desmenuzar de manera histórica y teórica la conceptualización sobre la revolución que desarrolló Bolívar Echeverría a lo largo de su vida,  pasando por las diferentes etapas históricas y teóricas, y respondiendo a una inquietud que trata de entender cómo las circunstancias particulares en las que se desenvolvió el filósofo, y sus intereses intelectuales, condicionaron su pensamiento y permitieron a su vez que formulara una propuesta crítica sobre la revolución desde América Latina acorde al imperativo de pensar la vuelta de siglo y los procesos revolucionario. Además, de rescatar la importancia del diálogo teórico como un factor influyente dentro de la evolución de su pensamiento y su propuesta conceptual.
La filosofía mexicana en la obra de Luis Villoro
Authors: Leon Jimenez Hector David
Published: March 2024

Luis Villoro a lo largo de su trayectoria académica reiteró la inexistencia de una filosofía mexicana auténtica y originaria. Desde su perspectiva en México no ha existido una tradición filosófica, porque los filósofos de nuestro país no han construido una escuela. Su idea de filosofía, entendida como un ejercicio riguroso y crítico, está marcada, no sólo por la tradición analítica, sino ante todo por la tesis de la normalización filosófica. Pero, contrario a sus afirmaciones, pensó y discutió una multiplicidad de temas, no sólo con la referencia a la realidad mexicana, si no con la claridad de que los filósofos mexicanos no podemos pensar dicha realidad con las categorías de la filosofía europea y occidental. Su pensamiento y ejercicio filosófico supone un diálogo con la realidad, ésta se le impone, le demanda ser pensada. Por eso aquí se afirma que su filosofía es muestra del pensar filosófico mexicano, en la obra de Luis Villoro hay una filosofía mexicana. Los temas que pensó con alusión a la realidad mexicana son muestra de una filosofía mexicana contemporánea auténtica y originaria, pero ante todo sensible, en función de la liberación.
Análisis de la inclusión del concepto de ser sintiente para la descosificación de los animales en el Código Civil Federal
Authors: Reyes Ortiz Alejandra
Published: March 2024

Los derechos de los animales es un tema que invita a reflexionar sobre la manera más adecuada para su inclusión en el derecho, con la intención de limitar los actos de crueldad a los que son sujetos por parte de las personas y despojarlos del concepto de cosas desde el punto de vista jurídico. Se comienza con un breve recorrido sobre los antecedentes históricos para conocer como los animales eran especies protegidas; seguidamente, se analiza el contrato social para determinar los motivos que impiden que los animales puedan ser incluidos dentro del derecho; derivado de lo anterior, se estudia la postura de Jorge Riechmann, el cual reflexiona sobre la manera más acorde para incluirlos dentro del derecho aún y cuando no tengan la calidad de personas; para finalmente, realizar una propuesta que despoje a los animales del concepto de cosas en el Código Civil Federal y dar paso a una nueva categoría como seres sintientes.
Chronic vagotomy induces nTS glial activation, reduced glutamatergic signaling, and blunted cardiorespiratory responses
Authors:   , Hofmann Gabrielle Celeste
Published: March 2024

The brainstem nucleus tractus solitarii (nTS) is the first site of integration of viscerosensory information provided by afferents of the vagus nerves. The nTS critically contributes to cardiorespiratory function and displays remarkable neuroplasticity in response to changes in afferent input. Vagal afferents form synapses with nTS neurons that are closely associated with astrocytes, forming the tripartite synapse. We hypothesized that reducing vagal afferent input via chronic unilateral vagotomy would alter tripartite synapse function in the nTS, resulting in changes in cardiorespiratory activity. In the results of Aim 1, we showed that vagotomy induced astrocyte reactivity and microglial activation in the nTS. This corresponded to a reduction in augmented breaths (sighs) during hypoxia. In Aim 2, we further investigated the effects of vagotomy by stimulating vagal afferents and recording cardiorespiratory and sympathetic responses. Blunted responses to stimulation lead us to hypothesize that the reactive astrocytes at the tripartite synapse may be contributing to this response through increased glutamate uptake. Instead we found evidence of reduced excitability of vagotomized afferents and decreased postsynaptic NMDA receptor function, leading to blunted nTS neuronal activation upon stimulation. Together these results demonstrate that multiple changes occur at the tripartite synapse following vagotomy, and these effects contribute to reduced reflex responses that may affect cardiorespiratory function in health and disease.
"That's what happens when you sleep around" : women's intergenerational family stories about sexual health, HPV, and cervical cancer
Authors:   , Leverenz Alaina
Published: March 2024

Grounded in narrative theorizing, the current study examines how emerging adult women (n = 42) story conversations with their FFMs (e.g., mother, aunt) about sexual health, human papillomavirus, and cervical cancer, and how these conversations are related to their narrative identity, health behaviors, and attitudes. An online survey was distributed to solicit written narratives about these conversations, followed by a self-report survey of their health behaviors and efficacy. The results indicated that all types of autobiographical memory sub-systems are present in young women's narratives of sexual health conversations; and story types have a significant effect on getting a Pap smear and having HPV vaccine efficacy. Participants who wrote about a sexual health conversation with an FFM other than their mother were less likely to report getting a Pap smear. The tone of the narrative had a significant effect on relational closeness with the FFM. Findings from this study can be applied to health interventions and guide family conversations around cervical cancer prevention and treatment. Future research can build upon this study by examining these story types in other family and gender roles (e.g., father-son stories), cancer types (e.g., prostate, breast), or other chronic diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis).
Computational methods to identify ionomic candidate genes in plants
Authors:   , Whitt Lauren E
Published: March 2024

[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] High throughput phenotyping and quantitative genetics have enabled researchers to identify genetic regions associated with changes in phenotype. However, going from GWAS loci to candidate genes is still challenging. When selecting candidate genes for ionomic GWAS loci, we curated a collection of well-known ionomic genes (KIG) experimentally shown to alter plant elemental uptake and their orthologs in 10 crop species. Yet when compared to ionomic GWAS markers, over 90 percent of significant markers were not linked to a KIG - indicating the list is incomplete, and many causal genes are unknown. We propose an unbiased computational approach that compares analogous GWAS markers from multiple species and searches for conserved genes linked to trait markers. Like the KIG list, we expect many of these unknown candidate genes to have orthologs in other species. By leveraging the evolutionary relationship of these conserved genes, rather than prior knowledge and gene annotations, this method: 1) finds more candidate genes than we expect from random chance, 2) selects and prioritizes candidates in poorly annotated species, and 3) includes unknown genes in the results. We used this approach with comparable seed weight GWAS and preliminarily confirmed phenotypes for 9 of 12 Arabidopsis thaliana candidate genes. Future efforts will solidify confirmations and improve parameters for candidate selection.
TEMPORAL PATTERN OF AEDES SOLLICITANS AND AEDES TAENIORHYNCHUS IN AN INTERTIDAL WETLAND SYSTEM, NORTHEASTERN FLORIDA: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Dale Patricia , Xue Rui-De
Published: March 2024

Temporal and spatial patterns of mosquito species distributions are influenced by weather conditions and climate, changes in water quality, and many other factors. Aedes taeniorhynchus and Aedes sollicitans are common salt marsh mosquitoes that cause many nuisance problems for human populations. St. Johns County (north-eastern Florida) has, over the past decades, been one of the fastest growing counties in the U.S.A. This is related to changes in land use and land cover, and local climate variations. It has been recently noticed that two species, Ae. taeniorhynchus and Ae. sollicitans, switch their temporal pattern in St. Johns County. To explore factors influencing potential changes between the temporal distribution of the two species of salt marsh mosquitoes, a literature search was conducted. Based on the literature, there are many factors influencing the potential species switch or temporal patterns of the two species. These include meteorological and tidal patterns as well as land use and land cover changes. The results of the literature analysis indicate that the switch and change in temporal pattern between the two species needs to be further explored, especially with respect to temperature, tidal flooding, water quality (especially salinity), sea level rise and land use/cover.
INSECTICIDE TOXICITY TO HONEY BEES: LESSONS LEARNED FROM STUDIES BY THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA URBAN ENTOMOLOGY LABORATORY
Authors: Baldwin Rebecca , Pereira Roberto M. , Koehler Phillip G. , Xue Rui-De
Published: March 2024

Laboratory and field studies comparing the relative tolerance of mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus) and non-target species, including the honey bee (Apis mellifera), and other non-target insects have shown that the non-target species can tolerate fairly well when exposed to insecticides used in mosquito control operations. Tolerance levels of non-target species vary due to factors such as the development of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes which require higher insecticide doses to reduce populations to adequate levels. However, well-planned mosquito control programs, can lower risks to honey bees and other non-target species. This review discusses the toxicity of mosquito control insecticides to the honey bee and other non-target insects.
NOVEL TRAP CONFIGURATION FOR LIVE CAPTURE OF MOSQUITOES
Authors: Kim Dongmin , Debriere Terry J. , Burkett-Cadena Nathan D.
Published: March 2024

Diverse mosquito traps are available for mosquito and arbovirus surveillance. The delicate nature of the mosquito body makes them vulnerable to damage as they pass through the trap's fan, which can lead to rapid desiccation or mortality within the capture chamber. This can negatively affect surveillance accuracy, impacting both the precise identification of mosquitoes and the reliable execution of molecular assays for arbovirus detection. In this study, we report a novel modification to three widely used mosquito traps: CDC light trap, BG-Sentinel trap, and CDC gravid trap, incorporating a mesh funnel and updraft design to address these issues. We compared updraft and downdraft configurations of light traps under field conditions and compared the effectiveness of the modified BG and gravid trap to unaltered counterparts in semi-field environments. Subsequently, we conducted field validation of modified mosquito traps to assess their trapping effectiveness in terms of mosquito abundance and species composition in coastal forest and suburban areas. Our findings revealed that there was no significant difference in trapping effectiveness between different fan configurations. The adaptation made to the BG trap exhibited higher recapture rates of Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes albopictus in comparison to the unmodified BG-Sentinel trap. The modification of the gravid trap was equivalent to unaltered CDC gravid trap. During our field trial, the modified light traps had a higher collection rate of mosquitoes with a wider spectrum of species diversity than modified BG or gravid traps, regardless of site. The modified BG traps captured more arbovirus vector species (Culex and Aedes species), with an increase in Ae. albopictus (11 times) and Ae. aegypti (1.75 times) when compared to the light traps. The modified gravid traps mostly collected Culex spp., accounting for over 47% of the collected mosquitoes. The results indicate that the novel trap configuration preserves trap functionality and improves specimen quality by avoiding the death and dismemberment of collected mosquitoes.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Bulk-fill composite is a restorative material with the advantage of 4 mm thickness application into the cavity and good modulus of elasticity similar to natural teeth. One of the important aspect in composite restoration is polymerization which is a formation of polymer from monomers. One way to achieve a high degree of polymerization is to use Light Emitting Diode (LED) irradiation, which will increase the hardness of the composite resin. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of distance between the LED tip with bulk-fill composite surface on the hardness of composite. Methods: Fifteen samples were divided into three groups with irradiation distance of 0 mm, 5 mm, and 9 mm respectively. Samples were made in a cylindrical shape with 6 mm of diameter and 4 mm of height then irradiated with LED for 10 seconds. The samples then immersed in distilled water at 37o for 24 hours. Hardness test was carried out on three different points at the top and bottom each side using Vickers hardness test. Data was analyzed with Shapiro-Wilk and One Way ANOVA. Results: The highest hardness value was obtained in the group with an irradiation distance of 0 mm, while the lowest was in the group with irradiation distance of 9cm, both on the top and bottom surfaces. Increasing the distance between the tip of light curing unit and the composite surface resulted in a significant reduction in the hardness of the composite. Conclusion: There were significant differences in the hardness value of bulk-fill composite in all distance group.

Introduction: Inflammation is the body's initial response to tissue damage caused by trauma, exposure to toxins, or infection. Hyaluronic acid was one of the drugs of choice to reduce inflammation due to trauma, but it has side effects. One of the herbal plants that had anti-inflammatory potential was duku seeds. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the anti-inflammatory activity of the duku seed extract gel on male white rats wistar were induced by carrageenan. Method: In vivo study with a pre and post-test control group design was conducted at the Biochemistry Laboratory and Animal House of the Faculty of Medicine Sriwijaya University and Palembang Clinical Laboratory Center. Thirty rats were divided into five groups. Group I, II, and III were treated with 5%, 10%, and 20% duku seed extract gel. Groups IV and V were treated with 0.2% hyaluronic acid gel and a placebo gel, respectively. Rats were induced by 0.1 ml carrageenan solution on the labial gingival of the rat's lower lip and treated with duku seed extract gel twice a day for four days and taking 2 ml of blood from the orbital sinus. The number of neutrophil cells was counted using a hematology analyzer and statistically analyzed.  Results: There was no difference in the number of neutrophil cells before and after treatment in all groups. There was no difference in the number of neutrophil cells after treatment between the extract gel groups and the control. The least increase in neutrophil cells was found in the 20% extract group, but it was not significant. Conclusion: Duku seed extract gel at concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 20% did not have anti-inflammatory activity in male wistar strain rats.
A Rákóczi-szabadságharc emlékezetének térbelisége a Magyar Honvédségben (1906–2023)
Authors: Kiss Márton
Published: March 2024

II. Rákóczi Ferenc (1676–1735) az egyik legismertebb személy a magyar történelemben. A 18. században vezetett szabadságharc (1703–1711) és az arról való megemlékezés a magyar identitásban is mély gyökeret vert. Nincs ez másként a Magyar Honvédségben sem, amely már a 19. század végétől igyekezett megemlékezni a fejedelemről. A 20. század markáns politikai változásai ellenére Rákóczi emlékezete fennmaradt a Honvédségben, még ha annak megoszlása folyamatosan változott is. A katonai ezredek, laktanyák és kulturális szervezetek is előszeretettel választottak olyan neveket, amelyek Rákóczira vagy szabadságharcára utaltak. Az adatok térbeliségének elemzésével kiderül, hogy a Magyar Honvédség pontosan milyen Rákóczi-emlékezetet épített ki az országban az elmúlt száz év során.

Reinvigorating a Traditional Balinese House: Managing Tourist Facilities and Maintaining Architectural Traditions
Authors: Adhika I Made , Putra I Dewa Gede Agung Diasana
Published: March 2024

Traditional Balinese houses in tourist areas are transforming, whereas, on the other hand, Balinese have tried to maintain the identity of the traditional houses to attract tourists. This transformation is a paradoxical phenomenon in which people have transformed their houses to gain economic benefits from tourism. The absence of an appropriate transformation model, which can be used as a guide for the community in utilizing houses in tourism economic activities, allows for the filtration of the tourism function into traditional spatial and cultural spaces. Therefore, this study is urgent to be carried out to maintain the potential of the house as a cultural tourist attraction while at the same time gaining economic benefits. To achieve this goal, a tiered method was developed starting from baseline data collection, an inventory of the texture and character of changes in traditional houses. A more in-depth exploration of traditional house changes using samples based on stratified random sampling and interviews will reveal and create traditional house change innovations. It is continued with the creation of design innovations in the traditional house transformation model. Finally, an analysis was carried out on creating design innovations to transform traditional houses into tourist facilities without abandoning the meaning and values of a traditional house.

Published: March 2024

DKI Jakarta Province is one of the provinces in Indonesia with a relatively high incidence of flooding since its establishment in the Dutch East Indies era because geomorphologically Jakarta is a floodplain area. On the other hand, land pressure by increasing urbanization in the city of Jakarta results in the increasingly limited availability of decent housing land for the community so that lands that should be water catchment areas and riverbanks are transformed into densely populated flying areas which ultimately reduces water absorption capacity in the Jakarta area. To obtain fast data in identifying flood-affected areas, the technique of identifying the potential extent and distribution of flooding by utilizing the remote sensing NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index) method and/or using the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) method from the free data Sentinel 2A satellite can be useful to provide data input to relevant parties in DKI Jakarta Province.  Opportunities and constraints The application of NDWI and/or MNDWI techniques will greatly assist mapping activities and identification of the distribution of flood areas as an alternative input to policymakers for action and anticipation of areas with high flood potential.  This research is one of the first steps and input to the DKI Jakarta Government in making strategies and roadmaps for flood mitigation in DKI Jakarta.

As shortages of teachers increase and student standardized test scores remain low and unchanged, there is a push for increasing instructional effectiveness using scripted curriculum and direct instruction. However, scripted curriculum is likely inconsistent with teachers’ professional visions and needs, leading to conflicting goals for adopting scripted curriculum and teachers’ professional goals. We determined the gaps in the literature support the need to collectively explore how teachers define and consider scripted curriculum, particularly the extent to which they think the curriculum is culturally responsive, motivates students to learn, are involved in adopting the curriculum, and their preferences for teaching with scripted curriculum. Using a cross-section survey design, we gathered quantitative and qualitative data from 292 K-12 teachers working in the south-central United States. We found teachers did not perceive scripted curriculum as culturally responsive, did not think the curriculum motivates students to learn, did not like teaching with the curriculum or preferred to use it as a resource, and tended to be marginally involved in selecting the curriculum. Our research empirically documents the narrative teachers tend to share about scripted curriculum. We conclude our report by discussing our results, implications for our findings, and recommendations for future research.

Published: March 2024

Introduction:

This study is a follow-up to prior research from our group that attempts to relate noise exposure and hearing thresholds in active performing musicians of the National Ballet of Canada Orchestra.

Materials and Methods:

Exposures obtained in early 2010 were compared to exposures obtained in early 2017 (the present study). In addition, audiometric thresholds obtained in early 2012 were compared to thresholds obtained in early 2017 (the present study). This collection of measurements presents an opportunity to observe the regularities in the patterns of exposure as well as threshold changes that may be expected in active orchestra musicians over a 5-year span.

Results:

The pattern of noise exposure across instrument groups, which was consistent over the two time points, reveals highest exposures among brass, percussion/basses, and woodwinds. However, the average noise exposure across groups and time was consistently below 85 dBA, which suggests no occupational hazard. These observations were corroborated by audiometric thresholds, which were generally (a) in the normal range and (b) unchanged in the 5-year period between measurements.

Conclusion:

Because exposure levels were consistently below 85 dBA and changes in audiometric thresholds were minimal, we conclude that musicians experienced little-to-no risk of noise-induced hearing loss.
Motor System Involvement in the Perception of Singing
Authors: Russo Frank
Published: March 2024

Many theorists have proposed that a spontaneous internal motor simulation occurs during the observation of intentional actions, and that this simulation supports action understanding. The simulation is thought to involve a coupling of sensory and motor systems along a dorsal pathway that connects visual and posterior auditory areas with inferior parietal lobule and inferior frontal gyrus. Collectively this network has been referred to as the action-observation network (“or mirror system”). This chapter introduces the Spontaneous Internal Motor Simulation of Song (SIMSS) hypothesis, which specifies the circumstances under which the observation of human song may trigger a spontaneous internal motor simulation.
Increasing Effectiveness of Train Horns Without Increasing Intensity

This study assessed methods of increasing the effectiveness of train horns without increasing intensity. Special attention was paid to the problem of masking by car noise. In Experiment 1, the audibility of pure tones presented in car noise was assessed across a broad range of frequencies. In Experiment 2, the urgency of pure tones presented in car noise was assessed across a broad range of frequencies. In Experiment 3, urgency of novel train horns was assessed in quiet. Novel train horns varied with regard to spectral centroid and musical dissonance but not intensity. Findings suggested that train horns could be made more effective by ensuring substantial mid-frequency energy, shifting the spectral centroid higher, and increasing musical dissonance.
Multisensory Processing in Music
Authors: Russo Frank
Published: March 2024

  

This chapter provides an overview of multisensory processing in music by individuals with normal hearing, hearing loss, and deafness. The first section provides an account of theory and evidence regarding the neural mechanisms underpinning multisensory processing. The second section considers auditory-only processing of music with a focus on lateralization, basic modularity, and pathways. The final section considers non-auditory and multisensory processing of pitch, timbre, and rhythm. For each dimension, psychophysical evidence is presented before reviewing the extant neuroscientific evidence. Where no neuroscientific evidence exists, proposals have been made about the types of neural mechanisms that may be involved. Neuroplastic changes following deafness are also considered. The chapter ultimately argues that although most individuals will justifiably focus on sound as the core of music processing, a more inclusive and nuanced consideration of music takes a multisensory perspective, involving the integration of inputs from auditory, visual, somatosensory, vestibular, and motor areas.
Effect of Road Lighting on Night Driving of Older Adults

Published: March 2024

The main objective of this study was to determine if a minimal increase in road light level (luminance) could lead to improved driving performance among older adults. Older, middle- aged and younger adults were tested in a driving simulator following vision and cognitive screening. Comparisons were made for the performance of simulated night driving under two road light conditions (0.6 and 2.5 cd/m 2 ). At each light level, the effects of self reported night driving avoidance were examined along with the vision/cognitive performance. It was found that increasing road light level from 0.6 cd/m 2 to 2.5 cd/m 2 resulted in improved recognition of signage on straight highway segments. The improvement depends on different driver-related factors such as vision and cognitive abilities, and confidence. On curved road sections, the results showed that driver's performance worsened. It is concluded that while increasing road lighting may be helpful to older adults especially for sign recognition, it may also result in increased driving confidence and thus reduced attention in some driving situations.
Age-Related Difference in Melodic Pitch Perception Is Probably Mediated by Temporal Processing: Empirical and Computational Evidence

Published: March 2024

Objective: This study was designed to examine whether age-related differences in melodic pitch perception may be mediated by temporal processing. Temporal models of pitch suggest that performance will decline as the lowest component of a complex tone increases in frequency, regardless of age. In addition, if there are age-related deficits in temporal processing in older adults, this group may have reduced performance relative to younger adults even in the most favorable conditions.

Design: Six younger adults and 10 older adults with clinically normal audiograms up to 8 kHz were tested in a melodic pitch perception task. In each trial, two consecutive four-note melodies were presented to the listener. Melodies were identical with the exception of one note in the second melody that was shifted in pitch. The listener was required to identify which note was shifted. All notes consisted of eight successive harmonic components, with the average lowest component manipulated to be the 4th, 8th, or 12th component of the harmonic series, with lower components being absent.

Results: Age-related differences in melodic pitch perception were only apparent when stimulus parameters favored temporal processing of pitch. Furthermore, modeling a loss of periodicity coding yielded an outcome consistent with the observed behavioral results. Although younger adults generally outperformed older adults, about one-quarter of the older adults performed at levels that were equivalent to those of younger adults. The only follow-up tests that were able to differentiate these exceptional older adults were tests that would be sensitive to temporal processing: Fundamental frequency difference limens and 500 Hz pure-tone difference limens. In contrast, otoacoustic emissions and high-frequency pure-tone thresholds, which are more commonly associated with spectral processing deficits, were not able to differentiate older exceptional adults from older typical adults.

Conclusion: Age-related declines in temporal processing contribute to deficits in melodic pitch perception. However, some exceptional older adults with normal audiograms preserve excellent temporal processing and continue to perform at levels that are typical of younger adults.
Automatic Facial Mimicry of emotion during perception of Song

Published: March 2024

We examined facial responses to audio-visual presentations of emotional singing. Although many studies have now found evidence for facial responses to emotional stimuli, most have involved static facial expressions and none have involved singing. Singing represents a dynamic ecologically valid emotional stimulus with unique demands on orofacial motion that are independent of emotion, related to pitch and linguistic production. Observers’ facial muscles were recorded with electromyography while they saw and heard recordings of a vocalist’s performance sung with different emotional intentions (happy, neutral, and sad). Audio-visual presentations successfully elicited facial mimicry in observers that were congruent with the performer’s intended emotions. Happy singing performances elicited increased activity in the zygomaticus major muscle region of observers, while sad performances evoked increased activity in the corrugator supercilii muscle region. These spontaneous facial muscle responses occurred within the first three seconds following onset of video presentation indicating that emotional nuances of singing performances can elicit dynamic facial responses from observers.
