Published: November 2020

“Lifelong learning” has become a popular topic over the past several years. A Google search of the term “lifelong learning” resulted in 11,000,000 hits. There have been thousands of papers on lifelong learning published in recent years and there are several journals devoted either entirely or in part on lifelong learning (Fischer, 2000). Learning can no longer be dichotomized into a place and time to acquire knowledge (school) and a place and time to apply knowledge (the workplace). Today’s citizens are flooded with more information than they can handle, and tomorrow’s workers will need to know far more than any individual can retain (Bosco, 2007).Our world is changing around us in such a frantic pace that if we do not continue to grow and develop,we will soon be left behind. In the 21st century, we all need to be lifelong learners. We need to continually keep our skills sharp and up to date so that we have an edge in all we do. Of course, we all have a natural desire to learn for adapting to change, enriching and fulfilling our lives (Claxton and Lucas, 2009). This review article is an attempt to present the main advantages which follow lifelong learning.

This paper provides an analysis of meditation as a new way of managing stress, tension and crisis. Contemporary psychology of mediation has gained worldwide significance and acceptance to seek solace and solutions for modern problems.

Methods: Forty-five patients of ADS age range between 18 to 35 years participated in the study. All patients selected for study were inpatients of de-addiction ward of the Ranchi Institute of Neuropsychiatry and Allied Sciences (RINPAS), Ranchi. All participants were tested on measures of TOM tasks and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Results: The result findings suggest that the First Order Deception Tasks (FODT) of TOM was significantly correlated with the WCST’s no. of error, percentage of error, non-perseverative error and First Order Deception Tasks (FODT) of Memory with all variables of WCST. Second Order Deception Tasks (FODT) of TOM was significantly correlated with the WCST’s percentage of error, non-perseverative error and conceptual level responses. Attribution of Intention Tasks (AIT) of TOM was significantly correlated with the all variables of the WCST. Conclusions: The ADS patients having difficulty in TOM tasks and this difficulty may be related to underlying deficit in executive functioning.
COVID-19 and dermatology: What is in store?
Authors: Ajithkumar Kidangazhiathmana , Santhosh Parvathy

The COVID-19 pandemic has far-reaching consequences on every aspect of medical teaching and clinical practice. This article tries to put into perspective how dermatology has to adapt accordingly. Clinical practice may face several challenges, including alteration in patient behavior, reduced procedures, telemedicine taking precedence, and increase in defensive medicine. Dermatology teaching will also need to undergo major changes. Cosmetology may take a backseat for a while. The quantum of change can be measured only if and when the pandemic blows over, or the world may just accept it as the new normal.

Abstrak

Zat warna memiliki peran penting dalam DSSC (Dye Sensitized Solar Cell). Saat ini pewarna organik dengan tipe D-π-A (Donor- π-Conjugated-Acceptor) telah banyak dipelajari dan dapat divariasikan pada rantai terkonjugasi-π. Pewarna organik juga dapat menggantikan gugus fungsi penarik elektron/penahan untuk mendapatkan pewarna yang lebih potensial dalam menyerap cahaya. Dalam penelitian ini komputasi menggunakan metode semiempiris Austin Model 1 (AM1). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pewarna organik-4 memiliki celah pita terkecil 5,5 eV dengan momen dipol 7,3 D. Pewarna organik 4,7 dengan substitusi C3H5 sebagai gugus pendonor elektron dan NO2 sebagai gugus penarik elektron lebih potensial dibandingkan pewarna organik 4. menyerap cahaya, karena dapat mengurangi celah pita menjadi 5,1 eV.
Sound Bites & Digital Seasoning
Authors: Spence Charles
Published: November 2020

Although often considered as the forgotten flavour sense, what we hear – be it music, soundscape, or product sound – influences what we taste. For instance, loud noise has been shown to suppress our ability to taste sweetness, while enhancing the taste of umami. Furthermore, many studies have demonstrated sensation transference effects, whereby what we think about what we hear (and the ideas/concepts primed by such music or soundscapes), can be transferred to whatever we happen to be tasting. The emotions that can be induced by music can also influence the experience of taste. In this presentation, though, I want to take a closer look at the specific way in which what we hear influences what we taste: In particular, the focus will be on the latest research showing that the crossmodal correspondences between music and tastes, textures, aromas, and flavours can be systematically used to direct a listener’s attention to certain elements within the tasting experience. I will demonstrate how chefs, sound designers, culinary artists, brands, and psychologists are becoming increasingly interested in modifying the taste of food and drink through sound – think of it as digital, or sonic, seasoning. I will also stress why contemporary gastronomy and sensory apps offer a rich opportunity both to advance our theoretical understanding in this area, and also to impact consumer behaviour more generally.
Super­‐Normal Integration of Sound and Vision in Performance

In the world of rock, blues, and popular music, guitarists who pull faces when they play are somehow more entertaining to watch – as if there is an agreement between the performer and the audience that certain facial gestures enhance the expression of the music at key moments. How does this agreement come about? What is it that viewers and performers share? Research in the field of cross-modal perception has demonstrated that humans share systematic linkages between the senses, including vision and audition. For example, people link higher pitched sounds with smaller, paler, and higher-up objects than lower sounds (e.g., Mondloch & Maurer, 2004). Yet few investigations have explored how these linkages relate to performance in the creative arts. One theory suggests that artists have stronger functional connectivity between sensory areas, and are therefore able to invoke or translate sensory experiences across modalities, using sensory metaphors, and strategic sensory exaggeration (Ramachandran, 2003). To test if viewers share a sensory experience with performers, we asked participants in an online quiz to guess which of two guitar faces ‘went with’ particular moments in guitar solos. One-hundred and seventeen volunteers guessed guitar faces at rates higher than would be predicted by chance, indicating that people were able to draw meaningful information about music from still images of the guitarist’s face. In addition to presenting the results of the study in a poster format, this demonstration will give visitors a chance to engage with the interaction between musical performance and performative gesture, in two activities.
Same Time, Same Place, Keep it Simple, Repeat: Four Rules for Establishing Causality in Interactive Audio-­Visual Performances
Authors: de Quay Yago
Published: November 2020

Recent consumer-grade technologies that extract physiological biosignals from users are being introduced into interactive live performances and innovating its practice. However, the relationship between these signals and the responsive audiovisual content is often not understood by the audience. Recent discoveries in neuro-science can address this issue by proposing perceptual cues that help us connect the things we see and hear in our environment. Drawing from the field of neuroscience, and more specifically the theory of crossmodal binding, this paper proposes four rules that govern the mechanism which attributes causality between audiovisual elements: same time, same place, keep it simple, repeat. Intended as a set of guidelines for artists, they will help the audience unify, and understand the underlying cause to, what they see and hear in a performance. The last section describes a brainwave-based performance called Ad Mortuos that applies these four rules. A video of the performance is available at http://www.tiny.cc/admortuos.
Assembling Music
Authors: Nagashima Yoichi
Published: November 2020

In this paper, I report on my three projects - sound installation, new musical instruments and new platform of computer music - the common key concept is "assembling music". Musical performance is a kind of expansion of human-body activity. I have been developing many kinds of musical instruments as a part of my composition, and I focused essentially on human "assembling" action in music performance in these projects. Of course, musical composition is an assembling process of musical parts. However, I want to expand the concept of "assembly" - not only for composition but also for performance. I hope this report expands the possibilities in interaction design for media art, and hope to discuss the technological detail and artistic approach.
Límites en gradiente y paisajes intermedios en la metrópoli dual de Medellín
Authors: Rios Betancur Luis Miguel , Vélez Venegas Claudia María
Published: November 2020

El borde urbano en la ciudad de Medellín –centro metropolitano del valle de Aburrá– responde a las características de ocupación, desarrollo y expansión de muchas de las ciudades latinoamericanas en las que se han venido generando procesos suburbanos y periurbanos cada vez más extensos y difusos que, para el caso en estudio, se presentan además como espacios de interfaz con áreas metropolitanas adyacentes. La línea imaginaria que separaba el borde urbano rural y el límite municipal y metropolitano solo existe institucionalmente. Su expresión urbana y paisajística responde mejor a lo que se enuncia y explica en este artículo con el concepto de ‘límites en gradiente’, entendido como la expresión contrastante e inequitativa de la ciudad dual, no solamente por su relación y distancia con el centro, sino por ser contenedores de procesos espaciales que se instalan de manera diferenciada y segregada desde el norte y hacia el sur de la ciudad y que pueden visibilizarse mediante cartografías y otras representaciones de esta transición espacial. Entre estos límites y los proyectos de contención de la urbanización se generan espacios intermedios que surgen como resultado de las tensiones entre estos procesos de metropolización con áreas de interfaz cuyos paisajes se encuentran en transición; algunos de ellos registran riesgo o signos de deterioro y otros están en proceso de consolidación. Todo ello, en conjunto con las áreas del límite, ilustra algunas de las contradicciones e hibridaciones de esta metrópoli dual de Medellín.
