Now, Let’s Find Your Voice: Interviewing Three Singing Pedagogues About Preparing Singers For Performance Using A Framework Of Seven Underlying Processes
Authors: Cotterell Leah
Published: February 2024

This article is drawn from a doctoral research study that sought to address a gap in the literature regarding singers’ experiences of performance. The research design focused on collecting and analysing singers’ experiences, beliefs, and understandings of performance. A framework was developed to categorise the processes that underlie performances, and this was used to guide research participants’ reflections and insights. Analysis of the study data supported a view that common experiences shared by singing performers may transcend matters of style or context, and an understanding of this common ground may offer valuable information about performers’ access to optimal performance states. The conclusions pointed to the need for further investigation of the complexities of singers’ experiences of performance, with particular attention to the importance of supporting performers’ well-being. This article discusses one of the three methods used in the study: three interviews with experienced singing teachers who are specialists in classical, jazz and music theatre styles.

Monitoring Chemical Changes by Raman Spectroscopy
Authors: Adar Fran
Published: February 2024

By now, it is well known that Raman spectroscopy provides information on the chemical composition of materials, and that said information can be made available in real time–that is, during a reaction. While many types of reactions can be monitored, one of the most important types is polymerization. Polymerization reactions typically involve the loss of a carbon double bond as the chain length is increased, and because the signals from π electrons are strong, the ability to follow this reaction until the end is quite good. However, setting up a polymerization experiment for demonstration purposes can be hazardous. Here, we will show the chemical and spectral changes that occur during the cure of a commercial epoxy.

REFLEXÕES SOBRE O TELETRABALHO COMPULSÓRIO
Authors: Lima Fábio Lucas de Albuquerque
Published: February 2024

Em março de 2020, o mundo das relações de trabalho parou diante do caos de uma crise sanitária mundial. De repente, o trabalho somente seria possível para muitas pessoas com a utilização de ferramentas digitais. O que era uma escolha, passou a ser mandatório para a maioria das profissões. No presente artigo, buscou-se discutir as características e os desafios do teletrabalho mandatório do ponto de vista do indivíduo durante o isolamento da pandemia do Covid-19. A característica principal do teletrabalho é a autonomia, que pressupõe um indivíduo disciplinado. Durante o lockdown, o desafio do isolamento colocou na mesma posição disciplinados e não disciplinados para o teletrabalho. Então a autonomia precisou ser trabalhada de maneira diferente do que vinha sido abordada. O controle e a supervisão das equipes deixaram de serem executados em interação presencial para utilizar apenas meios eletrônicos. Finaliza-se o estudo enaltecendo a importância do suporte de grupo para mitigar a solidão dos trabalhadores e para ajudar a manutenção da produtividade.

Authors: Salazar Aguilar Deni
Published: February 2024

La pandemia derivada del Coronavirus se ha convertido en un hecho de dimensiones globales y efectos multifacéticos. En términos generales ha significado una ruptura en las lógicas que sustentaban la vida cotidiana de las diferentes sociedades. Las medidas impulsadas por los gobiernos han trastocado tanto la forma de socializar como las maneras de llevar a cabo actividades específicas y cotidianas. Entre ellas se encuentra el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de carácter presencial, el cual tuvo que digitalizarse ante el cierre de las instituciones educativas con la finalidad de reducir el contagio en la población (CEPAL y UNESCO, 2020; Grupo Banco Mundial, 2020). En el caso mexicano, el cierre de las instituciones educativas en marzo de 2020 vino a modificar la forma de aprender y enseñar. En este trabajo se observarán algunos resultados de un estudio cualitativo de inmersión a través de un instrumento diseñado para conocer las dimensiones y naturaleza de las implicaciones tecnológicas, psicológicas y sociales de los jóvenes universitarios de la Universidad Del Valle de México y la Universidad Tecnológica de México.

Music therapy with individuals with severe multiple disabilities
Authors: Bajs Claudia
Published: February 2024

The present study uses a qualitative approach to explore music therapy with individuals with severe multiple disabilities (SMD). Six music therapists with wide experience in this field took part in a focus group discussion that featured questions about the potential of music therapy with children, adolescents and adults with SMD, the ways individuals with SMD use music therapy, the interrelation of functional and psychotherapeutic aspects in music therapy, and the challenges in conducting research studies including individuals with SMD. The data were analysed using a grounded theory approach, and the findings highlighted the following macro areas: opportunities, music therapy approaches, and research challenges. Participants emphasised the wide range of developmental opportunities that music therapy can offer to individuals with SMD. They outlined the unique characteristics music therapy interventions offer for working with individuals with SMD, especially when combining functional and psychotherapeutic approaches. The broad spectrum of competencies and qualities of the music therapist was also highlighted. The experiences and insights of the international group of music therapy experts about their practical work with individuals with SMD are promising and open up many possibilities for further development of this field of work in research, teaching and therapeutic practice.
The Individual Music-Centered Assessment Profile for Neurodevelopmental Disorders (IMCAP-ND) for use in Portugal: Translation and psychometric evidence
Authors: Raposo Marisa M. , Gattino Gustavo Schulz , Leite Teresa , Castro-Caldas Alexandre
Published: February 2024

There is a comprehensive need for music-centred assessment tools as specific outcome measures of music therapy efficacy for people with neuro-developmental disorders (NDD), namely, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), as music facilitates communicative and social skills of these individuals and allows unique ways to assess their particular deficits. This research explored the initial psychometric properties of the Individual Music-Centered Assessment Profile for Neurodevelopmental Disorders’ European Portuguese version (IMCAP-NDPT), by examining 1) translation and adaptation, 2) inter-rater reliability, 3) test-retest reliability and 4) criterion and convergent validity. Study I had a sample of 87 children aged between 21 and 91 months, 30 of them with neurotypical development and 57 with several neurodevelopmental disorders, while studies II, III and IV had autistic children aged between 26 and 65 months (n = 10, n = 12 and n = 11, respectively). The translated and transculturally adapted version of IMCAP-NDPT seemed adequate for its purposes. This outcome measure obtained statistical significance when differentiating between groups with and without pathology. Findings also revealed a moderate / satisfactory test-retest repeatability (95% CI – CCI = .424 p= .022 ranging to CCI= .791 p= .000) and solid interobserver agreement (95% CI – ICC from .924 to .996 single measures p = .000, (κ) between two raters ranging from .81 to 1.00 in 63 of 109 items of the three scales as well as Pearson’s r ranged between .7 and .9; α = .997). Regarding criterion and convergent validity, positive significant correlations were found between several Musical Emotional Assessment Rating Scale (MEARS) and Musical Cognitive/Perception Scale (MCPS) items and totals and the Griffiths Mental Development Scales (GMDS) domains, varying from .60 to .90; no negative or null correlations were found. The results showed a noticeable level of inter-rater reliability as well as a good internal consistency. Thus, the IMCAP-ND Portuguese version can be used more confidently in clinical practice; nevertheless, future studies are recommended with a larger sample.
Foundations for change management in integrating the arts into healthcare: An empirical study
Authors: MacRitchie Jennifer , Short Alison E. , Dion Stella , Chow Josephine SF
Published: February 2024

The uptake of arts-based practices into health care has been slow despite drivers such as increasing awareness of value, policy initiatives, patient satisfaction and quality services. Approaching the issue from within the Consolidated Framework for Implementation of Research (CFIR), our study asked i) if experiences of staff influenced willingness to implement arts and health interventions, ii) about awareness of current music and visual-art programs within the hospital and iii) about staff perceptions of barriers to implementation of arts within healthcare. This mixed methods study used an initial quantitative online survey of staff recruited from a large metropolitan tertiary hospital (n=38) followed by a qualitative semi-structured focus group (n=6). Staff largely reported a willingness to improve integration of arts initiatives, not influenced by their personal experience of the arts. Staff seemed relatively unaware of successful instances of arts programs in their own hospital, unless they were directly involved in its delivery. Barriers to implementation were perceived to come from upper management, with successful programs resulting from individuals or individual team motivations. Results from this initial study suggest that understanding staff perceptions and providing carefully designed educational programs are likely to be key in promoting the change necessary for incorporating the arts into regular patient care.
Examining the Effect of Privatized Primary Schools on the Quality of Education under Punjab Education Foundation (PEF)
Authors: Shahid Sabihee , Waqar Yasira , Raza Amir
Published: February 2024

The primary purpose of the present research work was to analyze the effects of privatization on the quality of primary schools in Punjab working under the Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) and to find out the factors which positively or negatively impact on quality of education. The study was conducted under the positivism paradigm with the quantitative methodology. Two self-developed 5-point Likert scale questionnaires were used to collect data. The cross-sectional survey design was adopted to collect data from the participants. A multistage sampling technique was used to draw data from 746 teachers. The perception of teachers in those privatized schools helped to evaluate and measure the impacts and effects of the PEF schools on the quality of education. Data was analyzed through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 21. The result indicates a small correlation (r=.435) between privatization and quality of education.  The result showed a significant correlation (r=.231) between privatization and quality of education. It was discovered that public schools lack the infrastructure, resources, and perceived quality that PEF-funded institutions do. A significant correlation was found between student outcomes and the quality of PEF schools. A conducive physical environment in classrooms satisfies the psychological and social well-being of students and up-to-date teaching-learning methodologies help to enhance the quality of education in PEF schools.
Therapeutische Wohnschulgruppe der Stiftung Bühl
Authors: Feuersänger Susanne
Published: February 2024

Seit Jahren wächst die Nachfrage nach Heimplätzen für Kinder und Jugendliche mit einer geistigen Beeinträchtigung und traumatischem Erleben, die scheinbar pädagogisch nicht mehr handhabbar sind. Deshalb hat die Stiftung Bühl in Wädenswil vor 15 Jahren einen Intensivrahmen geschaffen – die Therapeutische Wohnschulgruppe (TWSG). Die traumapädagogische Arbeit mit den Kindern und Jugendlichen – von der Diagnostik bis zu ihrem Austritt – ist hochkomplex und eine Herausforderung für alle Fachkräfte im interdisziplinären Team. Ausgestattet mit genügend Ressourcen arbeiten sie auf folgendes Ziel hin: den Übertritt ihrer Schützlinge in ein weniger intensives Setting, allerdings ohne Garantie auf Erfolg. Es ist ein langer Weg mit vielen kleinen Schritten, für den sich aber aller Aufwand und Mühe lohnen.

Authors: Anggoro Andryas Yuli , Bandi Bandi
Published: February 2024

PT PLN Batam is a national company operating in the field of electricity in the Batam region. As of December 2023, the number of customers is 367,709. Electricity consumption on Batam Island continues to increase with an average annual growth of 6.39% (2013-2023), and the average customer growth is 4.07% per year (2013-2023). This growth is accompanied by an increase in the assets of electricity distribution equipment, especially distribution substations. Distribution substations in PT PLN Batam consist of two types: concrete distribution substations and portal distribution substations. The total number of distribution substations as of December 2023 is 1,849. Distribution substations are vital distribution assets, requiring proper handling, especially regarding legal ownership of the land occupied by the substations. Land issues primarily occur in locations where distribution substations are situated in business centers or along main road medians. With the continuous increase in distribution substations, land legalization issues also escalate. To mitigate the risk of these land issues, PT PLN Batam implements the Decision Support System for the Legalization of Distribution Substations with Priority Weighting Bayes Method. This method, a qualitative approach, involves ranking distribution substations based on the highest to lowest risk. The goal of implementing the Bayes method is for the company to prioritize which distribution substations need to be legalized first and minimize land dispute issues in the future.

Time to healing was 162 days for FBCD and 103 days for BLCC showing a 36% reduction in time to healing with BLCC; (p < 0.0001).
Conclusion:
BLCC significantly improved healing of PRIs versus FBCD.
Prozessphilosophie des Geistes
Authors: Sieben Friedrich
Published: February 2024

By successfully integrating A.N. Whitehead's Process Philosophy into the Philosophy of Mind, a genuinely new position emerges, the Whiteheadian Monism, which is not only argumentatively superior to its competitors, dualism and physicalism, but is also able to philosophically substantiate one of the most current neuroscientific theories, the Integrated Information Theory. Not only does this make the genesis and role of consciousness in nature more understandable, it also allows us to address related current issues, such as the question of the possibility of strong artificial intelligence. This new position thus represents an essential, important contribution to the current debate.
Also sprach Zarathustra, New School
Authors: Niemeyer Christian
Published: February 2024

Nietzsche's Also sprach Zarathustra (1883-85) had sunk to the level of a literary curiosity in the wake of the hot-selling Nietzsche biography by Sue Prideaux. In the meantime, following the publication of the Heidelberg Zarathustra commentary, a new earnest has made itself felt in Nietzsche research, as this commentary shows. It is, uniquely, a commentary of the "New School" type in Nietzsche research that favours a biographical approach. It refutes the image of Nietzsche as a war philosopher projected by his sister in the years 1913/14. Instead, Nietzsche is shown in the figure of the "last man" to be far ahead of his time as a psychologist of the problematic life of the bourgeoisie.
Wunderhafte Embryos
Authors: Guénon Melanie
Published: February 2024

This study examines late 20th century depictions of embryonic development derived from the Quran, which are referred to as a scientific miracle of the Qur'an. This approach of harmonizing religious and scientific knowledge has so far only been evaluated as a marginal phenomenon. Using the example of the interpretation of ʿAbd al-Maǧīd az-Zindānī, however, the perspective on this specific approach to the interpretation of the Qur'an is broadened. The first analysis of the content and underlying processes and structures of his activities draws attention to the activist connections between modern natural science and Islamic daʿwa as well as Islamic bioethics.

Introduction: Spontaneous splenic rupture is an extremely rare complication of infective endocarditis.Case Report: We present a case of a 56-year-old immunocompetent female with porcine bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement, automated implanted cardioverter-deﬁbrillator, and atrial ﬁbrillation on apixaban who was found to have in-hospital atraumatic splenic rupture complicating infective endocarditis with Haemophilus parainﬂuenza. The rupture was treated successfully by endovascular embolization. Usual treatment with six weeks of antibiotics provided durable cure without further complication, and no surgical intervention was needed for either the valve or spleen.Conclusion: Transcatheter arterial embolization should be considered early in atraumatic splenic rupture. Relevant abdominal and cerebral imaging should be considered in all cases of suspected or conﬁrmed infective endocarditis where unexplained symptoms are present.
Impact of Product Description, Product Photo, Rating, and Review on Purchase Intention in E-commerce
Authors: Mokobombang Muhammad Ghiffary , Kusumawati Nurrani
Published: February 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic in the last 3 years has strengthened E-commerce growth, making online shopping the new norm due to restricted offline activities. To aid buyers and sellers in conducting transactions in E-commerce, E-commerce platforms have introduced features like product descriptions, product photos, ratings, and reviews. These features have created a competitive landscape, benefiting sellers who can use them effectively. Nevertheless, many sellers still struggle to optimize these features and market their products effectively to buyers. Failure to optimize these features correctly restricts the marketing strategy's effectiveness and puts sellers at risk for unanticipated difficulties that may be prevented by determining the various effects of these features on customers’ purchase intentions. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the impact of product descriptions, product photos, and ratings & reviews on customers' purchase intention in E-commerce. A quantitative approach is used in this study, where the data is analyzed through descriptive statistics and PLS-SEM. The result of this study suggested that all three features of product description, product photo, and rating & review significantly and positively influence purchase intention in E-commerce. In addition, the author also found that moderation of perceived trust significantly affects product description and rating & review on purchase intention, while the moderation of perceived risk only significantly affects rating & review on purchase intention. The finding of this research is expected to give insights to E-commerce sellers on optimizing the features in E-commerce to increase the customers’ purchase intention.
Credit Scoring Modelling For Corporate Banking Institutions
Authors: Purbayati Radia , Muflih Muhammad , Pakpahan Rosma
Published: February 2024

This research aims to build a credit scoring modeling simulation of bank corporate loans. The credit scoring model is used in assessing creditworthiness in credit decisions. This model determines whether or not a company is eligible for the corporate credit facility it proposes. Observations were made of 100 companies included in the list of Kompas100 Index formers on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) that have the potential to apply for loans/credits to Bank Financial Institutions (IKB) in optimizing the corporate capital structure through bank debt facilities in the period 2022. Analysis was conducted on five financial aspects consisting of 14 research variables, including (i) liquidity aspects, including current ratio and quick ratio variables; (ii) solvency aspects, including debt asset ratio and equity ratio variables; (iii) profitability aspects including return on net assets, operating profit ratio, price to earnings ratio variables, (iv) activity aspects including total asset turnover, accounts receivable turnover, inventory turnover, current assets turnover, and (v) growth aspects including operating income growth rate, total assets growth rate, and operating profit growth rate variables. The analysis tool uses Logistic Regression through an assessment conducted on the company's credit rating as a proxy for the dependent variable, worth one if the credit application is feasible and worth 0 if the credit application is not feasible with a cut-off point of 0.5. The results show that credit scoring modeling for corporate credit is significantly formed from liquidity (CR) and solvency (DER) aspects. Out of 61 companies classified as not eligible for credit facilities, 58 companies were classified correctly, and out of 39 companies classified as eligible, 29 companies were classified correctly. The overall percentage shows 68.0, meaning that the logistic regression model has an accuracy of 68%.

Los hombres también se ven afectados, ya que hacen conductas que los ponen en riesgo de contraer infecciones de transmisión sexual, VIH por no utilizar preservativo, detección tardía de enfermedades, consumo de sustancias, propensos a tener accidentes, lesiones físicas, o a la muerte por accidentes y riñas. Se recomienda educar a niñas y niños por igual, evitando los estereotipos de género.

Auteur Michael Powell’s Path to Globalization
Authors: Herold John ,   Society for Indian Philosophy and Religion
Published: February 2024

Michael Powell's "Black Narcissus" (1947) suggests an individualist path, an alternative to progressive diversity as well as cultural resistance to globalization. While the Anglican nuns largely fail because their ideals prevent expression of their needs and desires, Dip Rai is a young non-binary Indian assimilating British values into his own culture as he finds both love and purpose.
Parasironidae fam. nov., a Cimmerian lineage of Mediterranean Cyphophthalmi (Opiliones), with the description of three new genera and four new species

A new family of Cyphophthalmi with disjunct Mediterranean distribution, Parasironidae fam. nov., is proposed. The new family comprises four genera and seven species. Cimmerosiro gen. nov., Tirrenosiro gen. nov. and Ebrosiro gen. nov. are described as new genera, and Tirrenosiro axeli gen. et sp. nov., Cimmerosiro krivolutskyi gen. et sp. nov., C. juberthiei gen. et sp. nov. and C. rhodiensis gen. et sp. nov. as new species. Parasironidae stands out by a set of characteristics that we recognize as predominantly plesiomorphic. These characteristics and the present distribution indicate the great age of the family, probably early Mesosoic. We attribute its origin to the western part of the Cimmerian terrane, and its current distribution and diversification of the major clades to geotectonic events during the Mesozoic. Additionally, a new sensory organ (sensilla) has been discovered in Cyphophthalmi. This organ is located on the pedipalp coxae and is believed to have a potential hygroreceptive function.

This research aims to analyze and compare the concept of trust in Islamic and Christian views. Through a qualitative approach, data was collected from primary sources such as the Al-Qur'an, Hadith, and Christian holy books, and also from theological and philosophical literature relevant to the concept of trust in both religions. The analytical method is carried out by exploring verses from the Koran and the Christian Bible related to trust, as well as studying classical texts and comments by Christian scholars and theologians related to this concept. In addition, interviews with religious scholars from both traditions were also conducted to gain a deeper understanding. Research findings show that despite differences in terminology and emphasis, the concept of trust in Islam and Christianity has many similarities, especially in terms of integrity, honesty and responsibility. Both the Qur'an and the Bible emphasize the importance of maintaining trust, both in spiritual and worldly affairs, as part of moral and ethical obligations. This study also highlights how both religions view trust as an important moral foundation in building human relationships with God and with fellow humans. In the context of modern society, a deep understanding of the concept of trust from Islamic and Christian perspectives can make a valuable contribution in shaping individual character and morality and strengthening the values of justice, integrity and social responsibility.

Envisioning the Semantics of Kinyarwanda causative and applicative morphemes in the Cognitive Grammar Theory
Authors: Simon Chipanda
Published: February 2024

This paper uses the Cognitive Grammar Theory to examine the semantics of Kinyarwanda causative and applicative. The study was motivated by the fact that Kinyarwanda verb extensions, particularly the causative and applicative, have multiple sociocultural interpretations of meanings, which is a typical characteristic of Cognitive semantics. The study was couched in the interpretivism paradigm, which looks for culturally derived interpretations historically situated in the surroundings of humans. A qualitative approach was used to analyse the meanings of Kinyarwanda words used by Nyarwanda native speakers.  Data was collected from focus group discussions involving six Kinyarwanda speakers. Four were monolinguals; the rest were multilingual, speaking Kiswahili, English and Kinyarwanda. The data were presented using Leipzig glossing rules, and illustrations were used to show more than one meaning in the derived verbal lexemes. Thus, data analysis was used using cognitive grammar theoretical apparatuses, which account for multiple meanings of the derived lexemes. The study found that the causative and applicative verb extensions attached to the verb root have multiple senses that line with Cognitive Grammar Theory, whose major assumption is that words have multiple conceptualisations. For instance, the derived verb vugisha had four meanings: speak to, make or cause to talk, disgusting and switching on something (such as in radio receiver or electricity). As the presence of different meanings in the same word causes ambiguity, further research can be carried out on Kinyarwanda ambiguity under the contemporary theory of Metaphor.
Harnessing the bacteriophages to deal with canker infection of kiwi fruit: challenges and future perspective

Published: February 2024

The worldwide kiwifruit industry has suffered significant economic losses in recent decades as a result of the destructive bacterial plant disease Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa). Existing control approaches, which depend on the use of copper bactericides and antibiotics, are facing growing challenges due to the rise of resistance to antibiotics and ecological issues. Although biocontrol techniques show promise in laboratory settings, their efficacy in real-world field situations remains unclear. In order to tackle this issue, the emergence of a phage-based biocontrol method becomes a vital alternative, considering the precise targeting of bacteriophages (phages) towards the particular bacteria and their ecologically benign characteristics. This thorough assessment commences by delineating the repercussions of Psa-induced kiwifruit canker, underscoring the need for pioneering management strategies. The text explores the many types and strengths of Psa strains, and then shifts its attention to recent progress in the identification and description of Psa phages. The main topics discussed are the physical structure of phages, the spectrum of organisms they may infect, their ability to destroy bacterial cells, the study of their genetic material, and the process by which they break down bacterial cells. The review examines biocontrol tactics and their possible obstacles in kiwifruit orchards, specifically focusing on abiotic variables such as elevated temperature, UV irradiation and severe pH. The manuscript highlights the crucial importance of phages in efficiently controlling Psa infections, providing a sustainable and focused approach for safeguarding plants.
