Title of Research: Jiří Čart (Georg Czarth) and his Flute Sonata in D minor
Research Questions:
What is the current status of research on the life of Jiří Čart as an émigré musician? Is it possible to establish bibliographic control of this research, and outline the major deficits in existing literature? By examining Čart's writing for flute, and in particular his D minor Sonata, is it possible to define the characteristics of his compositional style? Is there a further link between his output and his position in various European ensembles, suggesting a development in line with other composers?
Research Process:
Musical emigration was quite characteristic in Czech musical life in the eighteenth century, but was not a completely new phenomenon. Throughout history Czech emigrants, such as Jan Václav Stamic, František Benda or Josef Mysliveček, came to well-deserved fame, but others await a return to modern appreciation. This is surely the case when we consider the life and work of Jiří Čart (1708-c.1778). Despite the contemporary success and reputation, Čart’s name has fallen into insignificance. No thematic catalogue has ever been attempted, leaving performers with no basis for modern performance, and thus audiences with limited opportunities to hear and discover his music. This thesis is potentially a model for further extrapolation of his output and a beginning of a more developed research path. However, the scope of this current document is limited, and therefore centres on Čart’s flute Sonata in D minor.
Summary of Results:
This work provides detailed information about the professional life of the violinist, flutist and composer Jiří Čart, which has yet to be considered in English. This information is embedded in the historical context, providing an overall picture of the social situation in the eighteenth century for émigré musicians from the Czech lands such as Čart. The so- called ‘Czech Musical Emigration’ is a very important ingredient of European music history, which partly influenced the direction and the onset of classicism as we now see it. Čart spent his adult life following his musical talents and opportunities as an émigré. In doing so, he occupied several important posts in major European orchestras and establishments. New details about his life and compositions are uncovered in this work, which is accompanied by a critical edition of his ‘Solo à Flauto Traverso è embalo’ in D minor. This edition was prepared using several variant texts from the eighteenth century, as the sonata exists only in contemporary manuscript copies, as well as a transcription for violin. Disseminated throughout European libraries, the work shows a mature compositional style, with the idiomatic knowledge necessary to craft a showpiece for the flute, allowing the performer to engage with, and enlighten the audience.
Of Rules and Canons — Raaijmakers' Reflection On Morphology
Authors: Johan van Kreij
Published: September 2024

Canon-1 is the first of a serie of five electro-acoustic works by Dick Raaymakers for which the concept 'morphology of sound' formed the principle starting point. Alongside the compositional activities, Raaymakers attempted to systematically describe a theoretical model that allowed him to get grip on the difficult matters relating composing with electronic means. This work fully occupied him from autumn of 1963 until spring of 1966. Not only led this work to a unique serie of compositions, it also laid the foundation for his later works covering the fields of composition, music-theater, installation art and writing. This important work was never well documented or contextualized from the perspective of electro-acoustic composition. Based on the original tapes, Raaymakers' schematics and interviews, this research aims to do that.
CompLex - an OSC and Voltage controlled Signal Path Generator (VC-SPG)
Authors: Lex van den Broek
Published: September 2024

This thesis describes my electronic and artistic research into the design of what I have called the Voltage Controlled Signal Path Generator (VC-SPG). It is a switching audio matrix that can both be seen as a new tool, and as a part of a musical-instrument. As we will see, it can be applied in an analogue electronic music studio setup, a modular synthesizer or in an interactive art-installation. This master research project is a continuation of my previous work at the Royal Conservatoire where I design new technology for Art and Education.

The fundamental core of my research project is the development of an audio-matrix with 16 inputs and 16 outputs that can be fully configured, controlled and programmed with Open Sound Control (OSC) and that can be synced and triggered with external analogue signals. In its present state the VC-SPG has become a new type of generator that is able to switch between different studio presets and form the core of new audio experiences and new compositional approaches.

I will describe and reflect upon both the technical challenges and development and the musical and artistic results shared with me by students and professionals who used the VC-SPG over the last year for their own work. They all experienced the VC-SPG to be adding a new dimension to their creative process. We can conclude that the VC-SPG is not only a new practical tool, but also a creative instrument for electronic-music and art.

Title of Research: Luigi Boccherini. Patronage and musical life in Madrid between 1768 and 1805.
Research Question: How was Boccherini’s work determined by its social function and his musical environment? Was the musical scene in Madrid comparable to the one in other European capitals?
Research Process: I have tried to reconstruct the musical landscape in which Boccherini lived and worked for almost 40 years in Spain by analyzing several aspects of the musical life: concert life, musical institutions, patronage and music printing and trade. It is therefore a historical research based on available bibliography as well as in sources of the period.
Summary of Results: Luigi Boccherini lived in Madrid or near for almost 40 years. Throughout of the 18th century there were many attempts in Spain to modernize the society, the economy and of course the culture, trying to get a closer position to the leading nations of that time. In music this resulted in the development of public concerts and opera performances, very much in the line of the spirit of the Enlightenment. But at the same time there was a lack of dissemination of printed music due to the absence of a strong musical press. That’s why Boccherini published his works outside Spain where the middleclass amateur players were much more abundant. During 10 of his years in Spain Boccherini enjoyed the patronage of the infante don Luis under such favorable terms that can be compared to the situation of Haydn with the Prince Eszterhazy. We could say that even being so far from the big musical centers -Viena, Paris and London- the circumstances in which he developed his career were not so different from other composers of the time.
Pedro Pérez de Albéniz: Fortepiano Fantasies
Authors: Julián Turiel Lobo
Published: September 2024

I have always felt curious about the time periods between composers such as Antonio Soler or Domenico Scarlatti, belonging to the first half of the 18th century, and others like Enrique Granados, Isaac Albeniz or Manuel de Falla, who were active between the end of the 19th-century and the first half of the 20th-century.
During the last decades, research has been done about some of the most important composers of this period. Among all of them, Pedro Pérez de Albéniz (1795-1855) stands out. His importance as a composer and, above all, as a teacher was fundamental in creating a solid and successful piano school in Spain. His pianism is inspired, in order of increasing importance, by Spanish folklore, Italian opera and the pianistic writing and resources used in 19th-century Paris, and is influenced by two capital figures: Friedrich Kalkbrenner (1785-1849) and Henri Herz (1803-1888).
Finally, his fantasies are the most ambitious works of his catalog. They are the ones that best exhibit the characteristics of his pianistic language. They are essential to understanding where Pedro Albéniz can be placed within the Spanish piano literature and illustrate how deep Romanticism had come at this time in the context of the Spanish piano.
On the role of organ music
Authors: Iddo van der Giessen
Published: September 2024

This artistic research project delves into the role of organ music in the Dutch Protestant liturgy. It studies the added value of organ music in church services by looking at one specific manifestation of liturgy in which organ music has a prominent role: organ vespers. An organ vespers is a brief Christian service of prayer with a prominent role for organ music. This research provides historical and practical context to organ vespers by relating it to Jewish, Roman Catholic and Anglican traditions of Evening Prayer, and to how Dietrich Buxtehude entertained local businessmen in his series of Abendmusiken. It discusses relevant literature and the guidelines of the Dutch Protestant Service Book on prayers and music. Three practices of organ vespers in the Netherlands are compared. Two outcomes are presented. First, this research presents the order of service for four organ vespers in the Goede Herderkerk in Rotterdam. Second, it describes the results of a questionnaire held amongst the visitors of those vespers. In total 82 questionnaires were filled in by those attending at least one of the vespers. Based on the results, this study argues that organ music in a liturgical context has the exquisite quality of engaging and interacting with listeners and participants in the liturgy. Furthermore, it illustrates how the age-old role of organ music in liturgy continues to be of great value in both musical as well as religious context.
16th-Century Keyboard Tablature as Performance Notation
Authors: Christina Kwon
Published: September 2024

As a harpsichordist and HIP performer, I was so fascinated with 16th-century keyboard tablature notation on my first encounter some years ago. Since then, I have been inspired to explore playing from original notation as part of my HIP training. This research is a big part of this artistic endeavor, addressing 16th-century keyboard tablature notation from Spanish and German sources and finding answers for what it is, why it was invented, why it is not in practice today, and how one may bring it back to practice. At the beginning stages of this exploration, I noticed that keyboard tablature was not really in practice as performance notation in the current HIP dialogue. I wanted to investigate why and, through this thesis, present it as a relevant, stimulating topic. This research presents historical and theoretical analysis of this notation and the results of an extensive systematic experiment-survey I devised and conducted with 32 non-musicians and musicians of all levels. Personally, the contents of this thesis have greatly deepened my understanding of historical performance of keyboard music in the 16th century and enriched my experience as an Early Music performer.
SIMPLICITY OF STRONG EMOTION: Study on the performance style of Frederic Mompou based on his recording of Cants Màgics
Authors: Blanca Maria Martínez Vilanova
Published: September 2024

Frederic Mompou i Dencausse (1893 - 1987) was one of the most intriguing Spanish composers of the 20th century. His music, often described as pure for its beauty and apparent simplicity, has captivated the attention of numerous critics and musicians around the world.
The majority of the production of Mompou is dedicated to the piano, instrument that he mastered despite his reluctance to perform for large audiences - similarly to F. Chopin. The aim of this research is precisely to investigate the way Mompou performed his pieces, in other words, his performance style.
My investigation is divided into two clear sections: on the one hand, chapters one and two provide the reader with a theoretical framework (biography, style, and influences; on the other hand, chapters three and four constitute the practical and most important part of my research. Concerning this last one, I analyze Cants Magics (1919), the first piece that presents a defined unique style, and its corresponding recording performed by Mompou himself in 1974. The result of this proces is the creation of a new annotated score to visually demonstrate the different expressive resources he uses to enhance the expression of his composition. Examples of these are dislocations, tempo fluctuations, voicings, rubati and pedalling. Lastly, in chapter four I apply partof the above-mentioned Mompou's pianistic techniques into other compositions from Musica Callada. These serve me to formulate an experienced-based reflection on the matter.
Antonio Casimir Cartellieri: a forgotten master at the Viennese Court
Authors: Elia Celegato
Published: September 2024

The solo clarinet compositions of Antonio Casimir Cartellieri (1772-1807) are comparatively unknown in these days, although during his lifetime his works were widely acclaimed in the Viennese Court.

This research has a threefold purpose: Reconstructing the life of Antonio Casimir Cartellieri; locating and procuring as many of Cartellieri’s works as possible; studying the selected compositions; assessing both his historical role in the clarinet repertory and the value of his compositions for the instrument.
The results are presented in three chapters. The first one contains a biography of Cartellieri, the second deals with Cartellieri’s repertoire and the last chapter, the most important, contains the analysis of the clarinet solo works.

Observation upon Cartellieri’s compositional style and treatment of the clarinet will be drawn from the analysis of the four clarinet concertos and the four clarinet quartets. With regards to the nowadays clarinet performer, Cartellieri’s compositions serve as a model representing the best traits of the late eighteenth-century wind virtuoso school. Furthermore, they provide a repertory bridging the gap between the old style of Stamitz and Mozart, and the new style of Weber, and Spohr.

The concertos and the quartet are excellent training pieces for clarinet students, showing formal characteristics of the period. They are pleasant, charming, and unassuming works of the chamber genre, idiomatically suited for the solo instrument, emphasizing directness and balance of conventional structure. Cartellieri’s works were undoubtedly fashionable vehicles for displaying the Viennese Clarinets virtuosos. They possess a high degree of musical craftsmanship with moments of true musical inspiration.

how musicians use their brains
Authors: Enno Voorhorst
Published: September 2024

When our modern brain developed 100,000 year ago, it perfectly suited the circumstances of that time. Therefore, we remember some things very easily like faces, tastes, routes and also music as a part of the social interaction. Music is an essential feature of the human existence and that is why when we hear a song we like, we will most likely recognize it easily the next day. This is why commercials use images, logos and rhyming texts together with jingles. The information stays in our minds easily, and more completely when it is repeated often. I will refer to this as the natural memorization path.
Memory athletes are able to learn the order of cards in 30 decks within an hour. What they use is the natural memorization path. Simply put, they take a route in their own house, and place images on this route. After learning this they walk along this route and find all the images in the right order. This system is called the Loci-system and was used already by the Greeks.
Musicians can also use the natural memorization path because music also settles easily in our mind. Hearing a song even once is often enough to have it settle in our brains. For musicians, this is a very practical tool for memorization but first some work has to be done. I will go into this later. We can learn more easily, more quickly and, above all, with much more enjoyment. The work that has to be done is developing a solid and immediate translation from the music in our mind to the instrument. For this solfeggio, harmony and analysis are essential tools.
Finally, I will provide some practical tips for a high-functioning brain to learn and to memorize music.

Title of Research: Adapting Telemann’s unaccompanied violin fantasias to the guitar - an investigation of transcriptional methods

Research Question: “Which considerations does a guitarist have to make when playing and transcribing G. P. Telemann’s 12 Fantasias for unaccompanied violin?”

Research Summary: Transcription is a very important part of the classical guitar tradition, as most of the original repertoire for the guitar has been transcribed from the manuscript. This is because the composers did not always have complete mastery of the guitar. The transcriptions of early music provided guitarists in the early 20th century, with a valuable addition to an otherwise sparse repertoire. This contributed to bring the guitar into the classical limelight, and its recognition as a serious instrument ensued. One genre of music which has been, and still is, popular to adapt to the guitar, is the unaccompanied solo pieces from the Baroque era. The implied polyphony of the solo violin music is often possible to realise on the guitar. This research investigates the different aspects of the transcriptional methods, specifically when working with music for unaccompanied violin. By using Carlo Marchione’s transcription of G. P. Telemann’s first Fantasia as an example, an analysis of and a comparison with the urtext sheds light on the different decisions, which are involved in the process of making a functional version for the guitar. The presentation will include visual and auditory explanations of the different possibilities, excerpts from an interview with Marchione, and examples from the score analysis presented through PowerPoint.

Biography: Thomas was born in 1989 in Bergen, Norway and started playing the guitar at the age of 7. His guitar lessons started with Tino Andersen, continued with professor Stein-Erik Olsen at the Griegacademy of Bergen, followed by one year of Erasmus exchange with professor Marco Socías at Musikene in San Sebastián, Spain, and finally he enrolled in the master class of professor Zoran Dukic at the Royal Conservatoire in Den Haag, The Netherlands.

Title of Research: Singing in the Music Theory Lesson - A model for how singing can be used as an effective teaching tool for a practical approach to the subject of music theory

Abstract:
In a typical music theory programme, the act of singing is often confined to the single skill of sight-reading prima vista. My background as a school teacher has taught me that singing can be used in a variety of ways to help children to learn skills such as reading and aural skills and so my wish is to investigate ways in which singing can be used in a music theory lesson at a conservatoire level.

In the last few years at the Koninklijk Conservatorium (Royal Conservatoire of The Hague), the music theory department has been investigating ways in which skills can be transferred across disciplines. One change that has been made is that many music theory related subjects are now taught as a single subject. Teachers are now free to make connections where ever they are found. My own interest is on the use of singing as a tool to achieve these ends.

My own investigation, as show in this research paper, will show models of lessons that can be created where singing is used as a core part of the lesson. A range of skills can be developed and theoretical concepts understood when singing activities are sequenced well and taught carefully. The result will be a model for other teachers to use and adapt for their own teaching.

In addition, the result of the research has also produced a collection of vocal material for teachers to use in lesson in order to encourage singing with advise on how to use it within a lesson.

Title of Research:
Performing Classical Music in the 21st Century

Research Question:
Can a reconsideration of presentation, programming and audience relationship influence
the response to classical music?

Summary of Results:
The financial and cultural climate of the past 50 years has changed the way in which
classical music is perceived. Where once it was valued as a crucial part of a healthy
society, it has now grown isolated from mainstream culture and has been relegated to the
periphery of modern cultural life. This paper will examine how these recent cultural and
social developments occurred and focus on their effects on the performance of classical
music in the 21st century. Through an analysis of new and existing approaches to
performance, a framework will be established which will form the basis of a test concert.
Data gained from this concert will then be analysed in order to explore the possibility of
altering existing concert conventions to respond to the problems facing the performance
of classical music. Research will be presented in the form of a research paper.

Published: September 2024

O Brasil é um país estruturalmente racista. Isso perpassa afirmar que o racismo está presente em diferentes instituições que compõem a sociedade, incluindo a escola. Assim, combater o racismo precisa ser uma pauta da Educação e, para isso, o campo das Relações Étnico-Raciais precisa estar sistematicamente presente nos cursos de licenciatura, inclusive de Ciências e Biologia. Considerando isso, esta pesquisa objetiva analisar a formação inicial de licenciandos de Ciências Biológicas, de uma Universidade estadual do sul da Bahia, para o debate das Relações Étnico-Raciais. Os dados foram coletados a partir de diálogos com os licenciandos em encontros formativos, e a análise foi feita com base na metodologia de Análise Textual Discursiva. Os resultados apontam que eles não se sentem preparados para fazer a articulação dos conteúdos de suas áreas com as Relações Étnico-Raciais, muito por essa abordagem não estar na sua formação inicial, mas que uma vez feita essa discussão, eles se mostram favoráveis e encontram possibilidades de inserção.
SEMÂNTICA ACERCA DO CONCEITO DE CALOR EM LIVROS DE GRADUAÇÕES: REFLEXÕES ÀS ADVERSIDADES INSTRUCIONAIS
Authors: Moura da Silva Osmar Henrique
Published: September 2024

Alguns estudos na literatura sobre educação científica destacaram ambiguidades relacionadas ao conceito de calor em livros didáticos universitários. Essa questão contribui para a dificuldade de ensinar esse conceito físico e, por vezes, faz com que ele seja subestimado. Para resolver esse problema, este estudo apresenta um conjunto de ambiguidades conceituais específicas por meio da análise de 20 livros didáticos de física usados em cursos de graduação. O objetivo é examinar construtos divergentes fornecidos pelos autores acerca de questões linguísticas relacionadas à definição, simbolização e aplicação do conceito de calor. A análise de conteúdo dos livros didáticos selecionados revela que as dificuldades são em parte conceituais, em parte linguísticas e, muitas vezes, ambas, constituindo uma barreira educacional persistente. Os livros didáticos analisados são edições recentes de obras em português, a maioria das quais são traduções de outros idiomas. Em alguns casos foram feitas comparações com edições mais antigas dos mesmos autores para destacar as mudanças relacionadas ao conceito científico em questão. Este estudo amplia significativamente as pesquisas anteriores sobre a semântica do conteúdo dos livros didáticos ao discutir as particularidades do conceito de calor em uma extensa coleção de livros. As reflexões decorrentes deste estudo podem contribuir para subsidiar as atuações de ensino de professores da disciplina de Física II da grade curricular de diversos cursos de graduação.

Published: September 2024

Money laundering is one of the financial crimes that has become a major concern in most countries worldwide. The rising number of reported instances of money laundering could be driven by several reasons. With this growth, there is a growing academic interest in money laundering research; therefore, opportunities should be created for interested academics to evaluate the evolution of research in this field. This study was intended to evaluate published studies in this field from the origin of the idea of money laundering to the present to identify major trends or issues in money laundering research and to propose a research agenda for the future. A qualitative research design was adopted using a content analysis approach. It was found that most of the research focuses more on the relationship of money laundering with other offenses and the detection methods but lacking in the understanding of money laundering and the rules and regulations related to money laundering. This study is intended to be useful to current and future scholars in the field of financial crimes who are interested in the evolution of the literature and in identifying areas for future research

Published: September 2024

This study aims to explore the factors influencing undergraduate accountancy students at Universiti Teknologi MARA Melaka branch to pursue careers in auditing. A structured questionnaire, distributed to participants via Google Forms, was employed to gather feedback from the students. The participants, categorized based on their academic levels, represent various stages of both theoretical and practical exposure to auditing subjects. The research team administered a questionnaire to evaluate accounting students' perceptions and intentions on the factors influencing careers in auditing. There is a strong positive correlation between job security and career intention followed by career development and a moderately significant positive correlation between job satisfaction and financial reward toward students’ intention to become auditors. A general lack of interest in the profession and concern about work-life balance contribute to the challenges of not pursuing a career in audit. Students perceived that real exposure to the auditing profession via academic visits, engaging experts through seminars, and interactive teaching methods could bridge the gap between academic learning and professional practice. Enhancing the alignment of educational offerings with industry requirements and students’ career aspirations with curriculum development, enhancing teaching methods, and partnerships between academia and industry will assist accounting students in developing a positive view of auditing careers and better preparedness for their future careers in this field.

Published: September 2024

Despite the critical role of volunteers in the success of sports events, there is limited research in Malaysia on how volunteer motivations and experiences impact their satisfaction. This research sets out to examine the vital position played by volunteers in ensuring successful sports events, with emphasis on volunteer motivation, experience and satisfaction among undergraduates and postgraduate students at a local Malaysian university. The study utilizes quantitative analysis where significant correlations between these variables were discovered revealing that volunteer motivation and positive event experiences are important to enhancing volunteer satisfaction. Data from eighty students (80) showed that event-related factors such as the opportunity to be part of a prestige event and witness behind-the-scenes activities a significant motivators and key drivers of voluntary participation. The findings indicate that there was a significant beta coefficient supporting event-related motivation and volunteer experience towards volunteer satisfaction while purposive volunteer motivation did not gain significance. Overall, the research underscores the necessity for event planners to prioritize volunteer satisfaction by understanding and addressing their motivations and experiences, ultimately contributing to more meaningful and successful events.

The purpose of the work was to develop a method for determining unmanned aerial vehicles’ (UAVs) coordinates, trajectory and parameters of their spatial movements by means of kinematic projection. The paper analyses the use of technologies for determining coordinates and spatial movements of aircraft trajectories. The principle of the kinematic scheme of fixing moving objects by means of orthogonal and kinematic design has been developed. The principle scheme of determining UAV coordinates by kinematic projection was studied. The theoretical mathematical dependencies of the determination and calculations of the coordinates of spatial movements of unmanned aerial vehicles have been practically verified. The main object of research in this work was the theory of kinematic design as a means of graphically displaying the patterns of spatial movements of objects. The subject of the study was the specific features of searching and recording the trajectories of spatial movements of unmanned aerial vehicles in order to determine the coordinates of their instantaneous location in space. In the process of conducting theoretical and experimental research, methods and techniques of physical and mathematical modelling of fast-moving processes and mathematical statistics of analysis and classification of their results were used. The basis of the experimental study was the theory of mapping coordinates and trajectories of spatial movements of moving objects by means of graphic geometry when combining classical orthogonal design with dynamic features of kinematic design. For an objective assessment of the results of the theoretical and experimental study of the dynamics of objects moving in space, the classical theory of research planning with a mathematical apparatus for processing their results was used. Graphical models of UAV coordinate fixation were made with the use of computer technology and the AutoCAD graphic editor software.

Landfilling remains a dominant method of waste disposal worldwide, largely due to inadequate waste management frameworks, despite efforts to promote recycling and reuse. As populations and consumption levels grow, waste generation continues to increase, highlighting the need for effective waste management solutions. Landfills are sites where waste undergoes various physical, chemical and biological transformations, making the implementation of safety measures, leachate collection and gas recovery systems critical. This article presents a case study of the reclamation of the Puławy municipal landfill, which has been in operation since 1998. The reclamation process involved extensive steps such as forming the landfill body, securing the slopes, constructing a degassing layer, implementing a sealing layer and applying a cover layer. These measures were crucial in mitigating the negative environmental impact of the landfill, reducing harmful emissions and improving local groundwater quality. The results of the Puławy municipal landfill reclamation include reductions in leachate and gas emissions, improvements in air/groundwater quality and the transformation of the site into a green space that provides recreational opportunities for the community. This reclamation project serves as a model of responsible waste management and community involvement, demonstrating how degraded landfills can be transformed into valuable public resources. The article also discusses the broader implications of landfill reclamation, noting both the positive and negative aspects. Benefits include environmental protection, resource recovery, enhanced biodiversity and improved quality of life for local communities. However, challenges such as the long-term monitoring and maintenance of reclaimed sites and the financial costs associated with reclamation efforts are also considered. This study also underscores the importance of landfill reclamation in the process of shaping and promoting environmental sustainability, as well as addressing modern waste management challenges.
“If You Want to Get Rid of Filth Diseases, You Must First Get Rid of the Filth”—The “Economic” Decision by a City Corporation to Collect Household Waste
Authors: Quinn Martin , Bertz Julie
Published: September 2024

The collection of household waste is now taken for granted. Such services have a cost, borne by local/central government or householders. Literature highlights such costs, also noting how householders can reduce them by recycling. Waste collection was not always a service offered to householders, with the first such services appearing from the mid-19th century. Although accounting history literature has explored accounting in cities and the public sector, research on how costs featured in the introduction of services such as waste removal appears scarce. This paper explores the decision to introduce waste collection to every household in an Irish city and the role of accounting and costs therein. Events around this decision are analyzed using a dual meaning of economic. The findings suggest a substantivist meaning of economic was paramount and costs were considered within a public health framing.

Published: September 2024

Self-stigma beliefs are common among people with visible chronic skin diseases and can negatively affect their quality of life and psychosocial wellbeing. Hence, evidence-based interventions are urgently needed. The objective for this systematic review was to summarize research on available interventions and evaluate their benefits and limitations. Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted an electronic database search of four databases (EMBASE, PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science). Studies were eligible if they (a) investigated interventions to reduce self-stigma in adults with chronic skin disease, (b) were original empirical articles, and (c) were written in English or German. Two independent reviewers conducted the abstract and full text screening as well as data extraction. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklists. The initial search yielded 5811 abstracts; of which, 23 records were eligible. Studies addressed a broad range of skin conditions, and interventions ranged from social skills training, counselling and self-help to psychosocial and behavioural interventions. Overall, interventions had mostly positive effects on self-stigma and related constructs. However, the study quality was heterogeneous, and further efforts to develop, thoroughly evaluate and implement interventions tackling self-stigma in multiple skin conditions and languages are warranted.

IntroductionIn UK prospective studies, record linkage to national cause-specific hospital admission databases provides unique opportunities for epidemiological investigation, since long-term virtually complete follow-up is possible. However, hospital records would not necessarily detect all newly diagnosed cases of diabetes, which is generally diagnosed and managed in primary care.
Objectives and ApproachThe Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) is a linked database of primary care records, which in 2015 had research-usable data for some 11 million people (7% of the UK population). In 2013 we linked 102,076 (8%) Million Women Study participants in England to CPRD records for the period 1 January 1990–31 December 2012. Among the linked women who had a first record of diabetes in CPRD, we examined the cumulative probability of diabetes being mentioned in national hospital admission data, by time since the first record of diabetes in CPRD.
ResultsAfter recruitment into the Million Women Study, 1765 of the linked women without prior diabetes had a first record of diabetes in CPRD. The median year that diabetes was first recorded in CPRD was 2011 (IQR 2007-2012). Seven years after diabetes was first recorded in CPRD, 69.5% (95% CI 67.1% - 71.9%) also had a record of diabetes in hospital admission data. The median time between first mention of diabetes in CPRD and in hospital records was 3.7 (95% CI 3.4-4.1) years.
Conclusion / ImplicationsDiabetes first recorded in routinely collected hospital admissions data in England identifies the majority of cases of diabetes recorded in primary care, after a lag of a few years. Hospital admission data can, therefore, be used for epidemiological research into diabetes.
