Intrusive Emotional Memories in Emergency Department Personnel: Characteristics and Relevance of Memory-Related Genes, Cognitive and Emotional Processing
Authors: Meine Laura Elisabeth , Kleim Birgit
Published: January 2025

Frontline caregivers, such as nurses, physicians, and intensive care personnel are at heightened risk of intrusive memories, a core symptom of posttraumatic stress disorder. Understanding these intrusions and contributing factors is crucial to protecting workers’ mental health and sustaining effective patient care. Emergency department (ED) staff (N = 331) were assessed prior to commencing work in the ED and followed up three and six months later. At baseline, participants provided data on demographics, prior trauma, cognitive and emotional processing, and memory-related genetic polymorphisms of the NR3C1, KIBRA, and ADRA2B genes. At follow-ups, we assessed intrusion occurrence, frequency, intensity, related distress, and content. We examined the predictive value of baseline features for later intrusive memories and investigated whether experiencing intrusions moderated changes in mental health from baseline to 3 and 6 months. Over one third of participants reported intrusions, mostly thoughts related to possible errors in treating a patient. Being a carrier of the G allele of the BCL1 polymorphism of the NR3C1 gene and ruminating were most strongly associated with intrusions at three months, while higher scores in cognitive flexibility, emotional suppression, emotion-focused positive rumination and older age were protective. All participants showed increases in anxiety and those experiencing intrusions reported significantly lower work performance and engagement. Intrusive memories are prevalent among healthcare personnel and associated with detriments to professional functioning and engagement. G allele carriers of BCL1 and individuals who tend to ruminate more may be at greater risk of developing intrusions, whereas more flexible cognitive and emotional processing was protective. Our results underline the psychological cost of high-stakes ED environments, where emotional and cognitive demands are substantial, and point to actionable avenues for prevention and early intervention. These may include systematic improvements to hospital error culture and training to boost emotion regulation skills, benefitting healthcare staff and ultimately patients.
Unwarranted Trust and Unwarranted Punishment: Scientistic Beliefs Predict Support for Penalizing Science Skeptics
Authors: Lukić Petar , Zezelj Iris
Published: January 2025

Contemporary society demands laypeople to articulate their attitudes towards science. Whilst distrust in science undeniably has detrimental outcomes, we argue that its opposite, uncritical trust in science and scientists (i.e. scientism) also leads to potential unwarranted societal polarization. In Study 1 we observed that people who endorsed scientistic beliefs supported discriminatory policies against people who ignore scientific knowledge or promote anti-scientific views, ranging from restrictions on their media appearance to imprisonment and denial of healthcare. Study 2 replicated the effect and tested its potential mechanism: the tendency to moralize rationality mediated the relationship between scientism and support for penalizing measures. Our findings demonstrate that unwarranted beliefs, even if positive in their moderate version, are associated with increased support for unwarranted measures against dissenters.
Deep Brain Sound Stimulation for  Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder:  Precision Auditory Stimulation
Authors: Dogan Ugur
Published: January 2025

Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects 5-10% of children and 2-5% of adults globally, characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Traditional treatments like pharmacotherapy and behavioral interventions, while effective, are often limited by side effects and accessibility issues.Objective: This study assesses the effectiveness and safety of Deep Brain Sound Stimulation (DBSS), a novel non-invasive auditory therapy, based on user-reported outcomes from individuals with ADHD.Methods: We analyzed feedback from 439 users who completed DBSS therapy via the Vital Tones mobile application on the Apple App Store. Additionally, 20 participants provided detailed responses through in-app surveys evaluating symptom improvements in attention, hyperactivity, and cognitive performance. Descriptive statistics were used to determine median effectiveness and satisfaction rates.Results: The therapy demonstrated a high user satisfaction rate of 99.32%, with a minimal refund rate of 0.68%. Survey respondents reported a median symptom improvement of 57% (95% CI: 40.33%–73.00%). DBSS was well-tolerated, with only minor side effects reported in a small number of sessions.Conclusion: Preliminary findings indicate that DBSS is a promising non-invasive treatment for ADHD, offering significant symptom improvement and high user satisfaction. However, the observational nature of the study, small survey sample, and reliance on self-reported data suggest that further controlled research is necessary to validate these results and establish DBSS's efficacy and safety.
An advantage for ownership over preferences in children’s future thinking
Authors: Goulding Brandon W. , Atance Cristina , Friedman Ori
Published: January 2025

The ability to anticipate the future improves significantly across the preschool years. Whereas 5-year-olds understand that they will prefer adult items in the future, 3-year-olds indicate they will continue to prefer child items. We explore these age-related changes in future-oriented cognition by comparing children’s inferences about their future preferences with judgments about their future ownership. In Experiment 1, we show that 3- to 5-year-olds (N = 120) exhibit an ownership advantage in their future thinking—they are better able to indicate which objects they will own as adults than to indicate which they will prefer. We propose 2 explanations for this finding. First, children may rely more heavily on their semantic knowledge when inferring ownership than when inferring preferences, allowing them to sidestep the difficult task of mentally projecting themselves into the future. Second, ownership inferences may involve less conflict than preference inferences (e.g., conflict between a child’s present and future desires). In Experiment 2, we test these accounts by comparing 3-year-olds’ (N = 120) judgments about their own future ownership and preferences with judgments about what a present adult owns and prefers. We replicate the ownership advantage from Experiment 1 and further find that the ownership advantage holds when reasoning about a present adult. Our findings therefore support the conflict account, suggesting children struggle to infer what they will prefer as adults because their present and future preferences are in conflict.

Well-informed individual and collective decision-making is aided by access to high-quality, factual information. What motivates people to share high-quality news and how can these motives be leveraged to promote news sharing? Based on the theory that self-related and social motives encourage sharing behavior, we designed and tested interventions to increase news sharing. In the interventions, individuals were exposed to actual news stories and were prompted to identify why the content was relevant to themselves (self-relevance) or people they know (social relevance). Across four studies (Nparticipants = 2,559, Nobservations = 18,780), we systematically examined the effectiveness of these interventions, their generalizability across news topics (climate change and health) and cultures (the United States of America and the Netherlands), their translation to more naturalistic contexts, and their underlying neuropsychological mechanisms. In all studies, we observed expected positive correlations among perceived self and social relevance and sharing intentions. In a neuroimaging study, we also observed corresponding increases in activity in self-referential and social cognitive brain regions. Using the content-framing interventions to test causal relationships, we found that the interventions increased sharing intentions and behavior. Furthermore, we observed generalizability across news topics and cultural contexts and translation to an ecologically valid news exposure context. These findings advance theory by adding neural and behavioral evidence that self-related and social motives prompt people to share information, and demonstrate the ability of content-framing interventions to harness these motives to encourage high-quality news sharing.
Economic and Geographical Genesis of Poverty in Tajikistan: Potential for Economic Growth While Maintaining Social Disparities
Authors: Arzhaev F. I. , Boriskin V. E.
Published: January 2025

The problem of poverty in Tajikistan, despite attempts to solve it, remains relevant today. Progress in this matter is certainly noticeable, but the decisions made in terms of social policy are of questionable effectiveness and are aimed more at reducing the level of poverty on paper than at identifying and eliminating its causes. In this regard, it is extremely important to determine the real reasons for the persistence of poverty in the country, to understand whether it is systemic and what is the influence of the geographical factor on it. Based on this, the purpose of the study is to analyze the reasons for the persistence of poverty and prove the hypothesis that the key factors in the persistence of poverty are social disparities and the economic and geographical position of the country. To achieve this goal, a number of tasks have been solved, in particular, it has been proven that economic growth in the country does not affect the level of poverty, the following main factors for the persistence of poverty have been identified: economic inequality, low quality of education and lack of qualified specialists in the domestic market, population growth, low share industrial sector in the economy, high dependence on labor exports and the dynamics of development of the main market for this export, i.e. Russia. In addition, it was revealed that Tajikistan is characterized by a peripheral economic and geographical location and factors exogenous to its economy cannot have a serious impact on poverty. Based on the results obtained in the process of solving problems, recommendations have been developed for changing the objectives of the country’s economic development from achieving economic growth to social development.
New Aspects in Indian African Politics
Authors: Usov V. A.
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to India’s modern policy towards African states in the context of New Delhi’s intention to strengthen its role in world affairs. Special attention is paid to the issues of increasing the importance of security and defense issues in the current Indian-African relations against the background of growing competition between New Delhi and Beijing. It is concluded that as India’s position in the world deepens and its authority on the continent increases, it increasingly claims to be the leader of the Global South and a “new regulatory force” capable of offering developing, including African, states their own development model. One of the most important means to achieve this goal is to promote Indian digital infrastructure to African countries. India sees this as a necessary element in shaping its new image as a high-tech world power. It is noted that India’s current efforts in this direction are a logical continuation of its previous projects in Africa, in particular in the field of education and health.

Quantum Computing: Potential Impacts on Cryptography and Data Security
Authors: Ojha Dharma Raj
Published: January 2025

Quantum computing introduces a new paradigm that brings about, by its very nature, revolutionary changes in cryptography and data security. This section will shortly discuss some of the impacts of quantum computing technologies on cryptographic protocols, focusing on the various vulnerabilities introduced by algorithms such as Shor's algorithm, capable of solving some problems-integer factorization and discrete logarithms-provided that polynomial complexity is achieved on quantum computers. Quantum algorithms will soon render traditional cryptographic techniques using RSA and ECC vulnerable, hence the development need for PQC techniques. It purports to analyze the available research and discusses the development, challenges, and future directions of quantum- resistant cryptographic methodologies. This paper emphasizes that transitioning towards PQC is urgent to maintain all attributes of data, such as confidentiality, integrity, and authentication in the quantum computing era. QKD emerges as a promising approach that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to provide physical-layer security for communication channels. Based on these phases, the paper develops into recommendations on building resilience in cryptography with the prospect of quantum computing.

Exploring Motives and Challenges in the Erasmus+ Student Mobility Program: A Case Study of Khazar University Students
Authors: Chirwa Hamza
Published: January 2025

A significant advancement in educational mobility is the emergence of the Erasmus+ program, which has facilitated study experiences abroad for numerous students, including those from Azerbaijan. Among them is Khazar University where there is a noticeable gap in research regarding the motives and challenges encountered by students participating in the Erasmus+ program. Additionally, the challenges faced by these students remain inadequately addressed, largely due to the absence of comprehensive documentation and transparent reporting of participants' experiences. In line with this, this mixed-methods research explores the motives and challenges experienced by Erasmus+ students from Khazar University. The study involved 16 students who participated in the Erasmus+ program between 2017 and 2023. All 16 students participated in a quantitative survey conducted via an online questionnaire. Subsequently, semi- structured interviews were held with seven of them to gather qualitative data. Using SPSS for analysis, the findings revealed that the primary motives for participating in the program include the opportunity to study abroad, meet new people, have fun, and gain independence or self-sustainability. Conversely, students perceived the pre-Erasmus period as the most challenging, with paperwork being the most daunting challenge. However, significant hurdles during the Erasmus program include variations in education systems, financial constraints, and culture shock. After the Erasmus period, many students grapple with what can be described as "post-Erasmus adjustment syndrome." The study will illuminate the policy makers and school administrators to address the identified challenges and tailor the students’ motives by providing comprehensive Erasmus+ information sessions, so the program should satisfactorily meet the expectations of the participants.

Authors: Farraj Rania Hussein
Published: January 2025

Background/Aim

Adolescents’ sleep is essential for cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and academic success. This study aimed to assess the impact of sleep duration on cognitive abilities and mood among high school students.

Materials and Methods

Fifty 11th-12th grade students (ages 17-18) from northern Israel participated. Each student completed cognitive and mood assessments under two conditions: after 8-10 hours of sleep (optimal sleep) and after 4-6 hours of sleep (sleep deprivation). Tests included memory evaluation (computerized card game), concentration assessment (feature deduction game), and a chemistry test derived from national exams. Mood states were evaluated using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire. Paired t-tests and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Tests were used to analyze differences.

Results

Sleep deprivation significantly reduced memory by 20.39% and concentration by 22.72%. Chemistry scores declined by 35%, while mood disturbances included increases in tension (64.92%), depression (63.39%), anger (46.8%), and fatigue (64.9%). Vigor decreased by 57.8%.

Conclusion

Sleep deprivation adversely affects cognitive performance and emotional well-being, emphasizing the importance of promoting healthy sleep practices among adolescents to enhance academic performance and mental health.
Functional Outcome after Fatty and Tight Filum Sectioning in a Diverse Cohort of Children with Tethered Cord Syndrome
Authors: Deininger Stefanie
Published: January 2025

Background: Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) encompasses a spectrum of conditions, from severe dysraphic disorders to milder forms like occult tethered cord. This study aims to evaluate the functional outcomes following surgical de-tethering in a pediatric population with TCS caused by a fatty or tight filum, including those with complex developmental anomalies.

Material and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 58 pediatric patients who underwent surgical de-tethering between January 2018 and February 2024. Data was collected on motor function, bladder and bowel dysfunction, and other preoperative symptoms. Functional outcomes were assessed via clinical exams, neurophysiological testing, and urodynamic studies.

Results: The cohort had a mean age of 5.5 years at surgery, with a follow-up period averaging 1.8 years. Preoperatively, 79.3% of patients presented with neurogenic bladder and 56.9% with bowel dysfunction. Significant improvements were observed in bladder function, with 26.1% of patients showing improvement and 73.9% maintaining stable function (p=0.04). Children with developmental anomalies, who had a higher incidence of bladder and bowel dysfunction, showed notable improvement, with 66.7% demonstrating motor function recovery and 100% achieving pain relief. No worsening of symptoms was noted during follow-up, and no cases of re-tethering were observed within the follow-up period.

Conclusion: Surgical de-tethering for TCS in children, including those with complex developmental anomalies, is safe and results in marked improvements in motor function, pain, and bladder control. Long-term follow-up is necessary to monitor potential re-tethering, particularly in patients with complex conditions. The results support a proactive approach to surgery, irrespective of the severity of preoperative symptoms.
Stroke: It is Better to Prepare and Prevent than to Repair and Repent
Authors: Parle Milind
Published: January 2025

In the present century, stroke is a debilitating brain disorder with consequential public health implications. Almost half of the survivors from the stroke attack suffer from substantial cognitive deficits and the other half are chronically disabled, leading a crippled life. Stroke is a neurological disorder characterized by occlusion or rupture of blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the brain, resulting in the sudden death of brain cells. It is challenging to manage the stroke attack therapeutically despite several advances in medical and surgical technology, given the development of a permanent infarct in the brain. Therefore, it becomes crucial to prevent this deadly disease in the first place by identifying susceptible individuals and associated risk factors. The authors have given concrete recommendations for controlling the potential risk factors of stroke that are under our control, like diet, physical activity, obesity, cessation of smoking, etc. The role of factors that are beyond our control, like age, sex, race and genetic constitution, in precipitating the first attack of stroke has also been discussed in this article. Practical interventional approaches to minimize the risk involved in the occurrence of primary stroke attack due to chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, valvular heart disease, sickle cell disease, migraine, sleep apnea, atherosclerosis, and brain infections have been described. This updated article aims to provide comprehensive and precise guidelines for preventing primary stroke attacks.

Authors: A. Shaltout Fahim
Published: January 2025

The environmental pollution Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, the polychlorinated dibenzofurans PCDD/F and the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) contamination in the food from the animal origin were caused by the industrially produced feed from the free range chicken, sheep, and beef. To elucidate the entry of the the environmental pollution polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and the Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans PCDD/Fs in the food related to the environmental contamination. The food products from the farm animals are sensitive to the environmental pollution dioxin/ polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) exposure, the suckling calves and the laying hens housed outdoor at the soil concentrations that have previously been considered as safe. In the beef/veal when the soil is contaminated. The eggs/ the broiler, this can occur. The eggs consumer's especially the young children can easily exceed the health-based guidance values, the tolerable daily intake. The soil, the chicken eggs exposure pathway is probably the most sensitive route for the human exposure to both the environmental pollution dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls and the PCDD/Fs from the soil and needs to be considered for the soil guidelines. The calves from the suckler cow herds are the most prone to the impacts of the dl-PCB contamination due to the excretion/accumulation via the milk. The environmental pollution polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) (and the PCDD/F) intake for the free-range cattle stems from the feed and the soil. The sources for the PCDD/Fs and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) relevant to the environmental contamination in polychlorinated biphenyls respect to the food safety. It also includes the considerations on the assessment of the emerging persistent organic pollutants. The major sources of the environmental pollution PCDD/F and the dl-PCB contamination of the food of the animal origin are the soils contaminated from the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and the PCDD/F releases; the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) emitted from the buildings and the constructions; the environmental pollution polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) present at the farms. The impacted areas need to be assessed with the respect to the potential contamination of the food producing animals. The livestock management techniques can reduce the exposure to the environmental pollution PCDD/Fs and the environmental pollution polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The control and the reduction measures are recommended for the emission sources and the new listed and the emerging persistent organic pollutants to ensure the food safety.

Introducción: Tradicionalmente, algunos contribuyentes han utilizado creativas formas de reducir su tributación. Hoy decimos que desarrollan planificaciones fiscales agresivas (PFA). Objetivos y marco teórico: Se abordará el concepto de PFA, se distinguirá de la lícita y se explorarán estrategias de optimización fiscal. Finalmente, se examinarán propuestas alternativas para paliarla, en busca de una fiscalidad sostenible y justa. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión minuciosa de la literatura existente y un análisis detallado de estudios y fuentes relevantes como artículos, libros y documentos de organizaciones internacionales. Resultados-Discusión: La PFA genera preocupaciones éticas y sociales, además de déficits de recaudación, debilitando la continuidad económica y social. Por ello, se presentarán propuestas sostenibles para mitigar estas prácticas, destacando mecanismos que enfaticen soluciones de transparencia, cooperación y responsabilidad. Conclusiones: La sostenibilidad se ha convertido en un valor clave, por lo que implementar un enfoque integral, que abarque todas las dimensiones empresariales, es esencial para el desarrollo sostenible.

Transnational Nationalists
Authors: Pasieka Agnieszka
Published: January 2025

Drawing on ethnographic research among European far-right youth movements, my article contributes to our understanding of the transnational dimension of nationalist activism and politics. In order to investigate this phenomenon, I tell a story of an event attended by Polish and Italian activists and analyse different modes of translation of ideas and practices that the studied movements engage in. In connecting the focus on translation with that of transnational networking, my article makes two main claims. First, it demonstrates that a transnational perspective is critical for an understanding of the contemporary far right. Second, it shows the ways in which the study of far-right transnationalism may contribute to broader research on transnationalism in social sciences.
Some food for thought
Authors: Koff Harlan , Maganda Carmen , Kauffer Edith , González Citlalli A. , Fazio Daniela

Food systems are seemingly characterized by inherent trade-offs including, but not limited to, (1) the need for sufficient food production vs. conservation of lands, biodiversity, and natural resources (especially water), (2) the protection of economic viability for producers vs. the availability of affordable yet diversified and nutritious food for consumers, (3) the need for technologies to support food exports vs. the negative social and climate impacts of said technologies, et cetera. (Mausch et al., 2020). These frameworks contribute to power inequalities and socio-ecological injustices. “Free markets” are hardly free (Chang, 2010) due to the presence of important government subsidies that affect these markets and the positions of actors within them (Koff et al., 2023). For example, the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), launched in 1962, targets food security in Europe and financial support for farmers in EU member states. It aims to improve agricultural productivity, guarantee a stable supply of affordable food within Europe, establish price scales for farmers to ensure economically viable price levels for their crops, and contribute to rural development by promoting jobs in farming, agrifood industries, and associated sectors. Even though the CAP's share of the total EU budget has decreased over the past 40 years, from 65.5 percent in 1981 to about 23.5 percent in 2022 (European Commission, 2024), it still presently amounts to €386.6 billion annually, divided between direct payments to farmers and rural development funds (Snippe et al., 2022).
Prymas upomina prałata. Relacje abp./kard. Stefana Wyszyńskiego z ks. Kazimierzem Lagoszem w świetle ich korespondencji pochodzącej z sekretariatu prymasa Polski
Authors: Łatka Rafał
Published: January 2025

Relacje kard. Stefana Wyszyńskiego z biskupami czy też rządcami poszczególnych polskich diecezji wymagają pogłębionych badań. Niniejszy artykuł ma za zadanie przedstawić, jak wyglądały stosunki prymasa Polski z ks. Kazimierzem Lagoszem, narzuconym przez władze wikariuszem kapitulnym Administracji Apostolskiej Dolnego Śląska. Analiza dotyczy lat 1951-1961 (od objęcia funkcji przez ks. K. Lagosza do jego śmierci). Wspomniany temat nie był dotychczas podejmowany w literaturze przedmiotu w wystarczający sposób. Artykuł został przygotowany w oparciu o analizę korespondencji między bohaterami tego tekstu; uzupełnioną o dokumentację Episkopatu Polski i zapisów Pro memori kard. S. Wyszyńskiego. W tekście zwrócono uwagę na przekraczanie uprawnień przez ks. Lagosza i jego nieprzemyślane decyzje personalne, co powodowało regularne upomnienia ze strony prymasa Polski. Omówiono także memoria w sprawie ustanowienia biskupa w archidiecezji wrocławskiej, którego wysłanie przez tymczasowego rządcę Administracji Apostolskiej Dolnego Śląska było szczytem napięcia w relacjach kard. Wyszyński – ks. Lagosz. Artykuł został uzupełniony o aneks źródłowy zawierający najważniejszą korespondencję między obydwoma kapłanami (zachowaną w Sekretariacie Prymasa Polski).
The old keyboard musical instruments at the beginning of the Musical Baroque
Authors: Costea Marcela Sorina
Published: January 2025

The topic of our research deals with a theoretical, aesthetic, as well as stylistic, interpretative approach to old keyboard instruments, from the beginnings of the Musical Baroque. To develop this theme, we considered it necessary, in the first chapter, to take a general look at the Musical Baroque era, with all its attributes, forms, and genres, and then something about the style of its instrumental music. In a new chapter, namely, that of the evolution of keyboard instruments, through the analysis of some principles, findings, or observations related to the construction of keyboard instruments, through their various examples, our research opens the perspective of musicological-interpretive investigations, which is not - could have achieved, without consulting a vast bibliographic material.
The opera “Hubicka” (“The Kiss”) by Bedrich Smetana, a “dramma giocoso” in the Czech national spirit
Authors: Dumitriu Leonard
Published: January 2025

2024 occasions the anniversary of 200 years from composer Bedřich Smetana’s birth, considered the founder of Czech national music. Two of his works, the opera The Bartered Bride) and the symphonic poem Vltava also receive wide acclaim nowadays. In the eight operas he finalised, quite different in action and meaning, the composer puts together Bohemian folklore and mythology, Wagnerian sonorities, influences from French comic opera in a manner identified with the style proper of Czech national opera. The opera Hubička (The Kiss, 1876) was catalogued as folk opera. Due to the comic nature of the music and to the contrasting episodes of the action, this study debates on and argues in favour of the inclusion of the work in the subgenre called dramma giocoso.

Music in motion. The compositional vision of “Dumitru Capoianu” in the music of the film “If I were Harap Alb”
Authors: Mirita Titiana
Published: January 2025

In this work, I continue my research approach to Romanian film music, focusing on Dumitru Capoianu's music in the film “If I were Harap Alb”. The composer's approach to the soundtrack introduces the audience right from the credits into a world of the fantastic, emphasizing also the time and space details of the action through the melodic evocation of Romanian folklore. Also, the music accompanies the main character, metamorphosing according to the events in which he takes part in his growing process. The compositional aspects are thus analyzed according to their close connection with the script, Capoianu's score being one of great value for Romanian film music.
“Jeux d’anches” – Accordionistic musical education through musical performance
Authors: Pescada Goncalo
Published: January 2025

Since the second half of the XX century, with the invention of the converter system, original writing for accordion has come, generating new challenges to interpreters, composers and the instrument itself. Obviously, to approach new works, musicians have been achieving increasingly strict, disciplined and transversal levels of musical preparation and knowledgement in order to achieve contemporary language and technique skills. In this context, there is a vast repertoire of new works, such as: Berio Sequenze, Gubaidulina De Profundis, Bochmann Essay XVIII, among others, whose contribution to the music teaching and instrumental practice has a determinant role in the pedagogical and performance fields. The piece Jeux d’Anches, composed by Magnus Lindberg, is also on the list as an important contribut to explore the instrument (accordion) in the high level dimension and potential. Through this article, the author pretends to reflect about the accordionistic musical education, to introduce new performance possibilities and to discuss new writing techniques for classical accordion.
