Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to estimate and quantify the degree of association between phytotechnical variables for simultaneous selection of maize genotypes suitable to produce baby corn. Seven genotypes were arranged in field in randomized complete block design with four replicates. Genetic parameters, simple, path and canonical correlations of phytotechnical variables were estimated. The variables production of marketable spikes, length of marketable spikes, final plant stand and plant height showed over 80% heritability and variation index higher than the unity, indicating that superior genotypes can be obtained and selection gains. Significant phenotypic and genotypic correlations were observed for production of marketable spikes, positive and of high magnitude with crude protein, dry mass and final plant stand. However, the direct effect between dry mass and production of marketable spikes was pronounced negative (-0.7085), whereas the phenotypic correlation was positive and showed medium magnitude (0.5343), which should be considered the indirect effect of final plant stand (0.7367), to take advantage of the gains of these two traits. The final plant stand is determinant to increase the production of dry matter and marketable spikes, both direct and indirectly. Given the data, we could identify promising variables for plant breeding which can be indicative to select maize genotypes for baby corn production.
Cal dolomítica: o passado e o presente
Authors: Silva Antonio Santos
Published: October 2018

Resumo A cal aérea é um ligante com grande durabilidade, como atestam inúmeros vestígios arqueológicos da época romana e não só. Quando é referido que uma determinada argamassa ou pintura mural foi executada com cal aérea, poucas vezes é descrito que ela é do tipo dolomítico. A escassez de referências a este tipo de ligante pode ser atribuída à menor disponibilidade de calcários dolomíticos. Porém, existem vários casos em Portugal, e em outros Países, da sua utilização que não parecem estar só associados aos principais recursos calcários. É reconhecido que em termos tecnológicos a sua produção requer menor temperatura de calcinação do que a necessária para a produção de cal calcítica. Este motivo, associado a propriedades de resistência à água, terá justificado o uso da cal dolomítica no passado, como atestam alguns exemplos de construções antigas, alguns dos quais são descritos brevemente neste artigo. Apesar desse passado, a cal dolomítica continua atualmente a ser desconhecida para a maioria dos membros da comunidade técnica e científica. Acresce que alguns resultados de caracterização são por vezes contraditórios, o que motiva algum receio da sua utilização. Este artigo visa desmistificar alguns preconceitos relacionados com uma eventual menor durabilidade da cal dolomítica, apresentando-se os mecanismos reacionais deste ligante e dos seus compostos de hidratação e de alteração, bem como alguns exemplos da utilização da cal dolomítica em monumentos Portugueses. Finalmente são apresentados resultados de caracterização física e mecânica deste ligante secular, que confirmam as suas características e que justificam o seu maior uso, nomeadamente em casos de conservação e restauro de argamassas em edificações históricas.

Published: October 2018

Resumen A finales de los años 70 la sociedad comenzó a tomar conciencia de los peligros de la pintura sintética con respecto a la salud y a la contaminación ambiental, lo que le hizo volver la vista hacia productos tradicionales “saludables” y que dejan una menor huella en el medio ambiente (como las pinturas minerales, y más específicamente, las pinturas a base de cal). En este artículo se describe de forma breve la historia de este material para luego definir la diferencia entre una pintura a la cal moderna y una pintura de cal tradicional. A continuación, se repasan las normas para saber qué exigencias se le pide a este producto tradicional hoy en día. Finalmente, se analizan las fichas técnicas de pinturas a la cal que se comercializan en Europa, en donde se observa que en pocas ocasiones se aplica la clasificación estipulada por la norma EN 1062-1 (EUROPEAN..., 2004) sobre pinturas y barnices y la directiva 2004/42 CE (DIARIO..., 2004).

A Model for the Instructional Factors of Curatorial Teaching in Design Education
Authors: Lin Chia-Hua , , Huang Hsiao-Ching
Published: October 2018

The increased demand for design exhibitions directly reflects the demand for designer-curators to manage cultural policies and social needs. However, in the current design education system in Taiwan, no curation-related curriculum planning exists. Therefore, this study attempted to design a practical curation course focused on “designer curated exhibition” experiential learning. This study encouraged design students to consider the formation of exhibitions from a comprehensive point of view. The teaching and learning process gave rise to a model of the instructional factors of curatorial education. We found a positive correlation between “learning process and motive” and “learning effectiveness.” Moreover, positive correlations were observed between “curation theories,” “learning processes and motives,” and “curatorial experience.” This demonstrates that curatorial practice increases the curator’s ability to apply curatorial theory, and excites the curator’s motivation to learn. However, the performance of self-evaluation reflects a lack of self-confidence and recognition; this lack may be caused by the restrictions of time and space, and by the complexity of curating teamwork communication. This model will continuously be translated and validated through the curriculum in the future, and the course will encourage students’ self-learning to enhance practical teaching and planning.

Authors: not provided Synthego , not provided Synthego
Published: October 2018

This protocol describes how to deliver ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes that consist of purified Cas9 nuclease duplexed with chemically modified synthetic single guide RNA (sgRNA) to standard immortalized cell lines (adherent or suspension). Although optimized for HEK293 (human embryonic kidney 293 cells), this protocol is applicable to many other cell lines (A549, U2OS, HeLa, CHO, MCF-7). RNP delivery is accomplished using Lipofectamine™ CRISPRMAX™Transfection Reagent. Chemically modified sgRNAs are designed to resist exonucleases and innate intracellular immune cascades that can lead to cell death. Synthego chemically modified synthetic sgRNAs are of exceptional quality and consistently drive high editing efficiencies. Data that demonstrate editing efficiency in HEK293 cells are included.

Published: October 2018

O presente estudo objetiva realizar uma revisão critica da literatura sobre sialólitos do ponto de vista de desenvolvimento, etiologia, sintomatologia, diagnóstico e tratamento. Os sialólitos são calcificações que obstruem o interior das glândulas salivares ou o interior de seus ductos, compostos por um núcleo de substância amorfa envolto de íons provenientes da saliva. A sialolitíase é a doença mais comum das glândulas salivares, possui uma predileção por homens de meia idade. Os sialólitos são mais relatados nas glândulas submandibulares por suas características anatômicas e pelas características da saliva excretada. Sabe-se muito pouco sobre a etiologia real da doença, porém são elencados como predisponentes a anatomia da glândula e seu ducto e a composição da saliva excretada. Os métodos de diagnósticos mais utilizados são a radiografia oclusal e panorâmica, mas atualmente os exames imaginológicos como a tomografia computadorizada, ressonância magnética e ultra-som vêm ganhando espaço na odontologia. Os métodos de tratamento variam conforme os aspectos cínicos do caso variando de métodos conservadores como a ordenha e manipulação da glândula até tratamentos mais invasivos como acessos cirúrgicos intra ou extra-orais.Salivary glands stones: a critical review of the literatureAbstract: This study aims to conduct a critical review of the literature on sialolith the viewpoint of development, etiology, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. The sialolith calcifications are obstructing the interior of the salivary glands or within their ducts, comprising a core of amorphous substance wrapped ions from saliva. The sialolithiasis is the most common disease of the salivary glands, has a predilection for middle-aged men. The sialoliths are more reported in the submandibular glands by their anatomical characteristics and the characteristics of excreted saliva. We know very little about the actual etiology of the disease, but are listed as predisposing the anatomy of the gland and its duct and the composition of the secreted saliva. The methods most commonly used diagnostics are the occlusal and panoramic x-ray, but currently the imaging tests such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance and ultrasound are gaining space in dentistry. Treatment methods vary cynics aspects case ranging from conservative methods such as the milking and handling of the gland to more invasive treatments such as intra- or extra-oral surgical approaches.

Cough is postoperative complication following endotracheal intubation as well as inflammation of the pharynx, larynx and trachea. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of eucalyptus vapor on cough after tracheal extubation in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). In this randomized controlled trial, 100 patients undergoing CABG were randomly divided into two groups by accessible sampling. Before the intervention and after tracheal extubation, demographic and clinical data, as well as data on cough by a scoring system were collected from interventional and control groups. The patients in the interventional group after tracheal extubation were exposed to eucalyptus vapor for about 10 min. This treatment was performed at 1 and 12 h after extubation. The severity of cough was recorded in both interventional and control groups at 0, 1, 6, 12 and 24 h after extubation. The present study showed that the severity of cough after extubation in the patients undergoing CABG in the interventional group had no significant difference at the times of immediate to 24 hours after extubation. Risk of cough had respectively 9.5% increase in the control group as compared to the interventional group.

SMOKING CESSATION COUNSELLING
Authors: Maksimov D. M.
Published: October 2018

Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of premature morbidity and death in the world and it is responsible for approximately 15 years of healthy life lost. The world average smoking prevalence is 21% (35% for men and 6% for women), with the worst situation in low- and middle-income countries. In the Russian Federation, 31% of adults smoke (51% of men and 14% of women); meanwhile in the last decade the prevalence of smoking declines by about 1% per year. From a clinical standpoint, smoking is a behavioral disorder caused by psychophysical dependence from nicotine. Tobacco dependence is associated with the characteristic smoking habits and withdrawal symptoms that prevent successful cessation. The role of physician is to identify smokers on a regular basis, increase their readiness to quit, and support them during a quit attempt. Smoking status should be assessed in any patient who seeks medical care. All tobacco users should be encouraged to quit in a clear and personalized manner. The further content of medical care is determined by the patient’s willingness to make a quit attempt. For those who are not ready to discuss smoking cessation, physician should express readiness to help in a quit attempt at any time. For the patients who are not ready to quit at this time, physician should initiate brief motivational intervention and discuss possible benefits of smoking cessation and obstacles to successful quitting. For those who are ready to quit, physician provides behavioral counselling and prescribes medications (nicotine replacement therapy or nicotinic receptor partial agonists). At the follow-up visits in a week and a month after the quit date, physician should discuss treatment effectiveness and problems with smoking habits. For continued smokers physician should reassess their readiness to quit at the following visits and repeat motivational interviewing. Screening tests for smoking-related diseases should be recommended when necessary.

The article is devoted to medical activity of the sons of the outstanding Russian clinician and scientist Sergey Petrovich Botkin (1832-1889) — Evgeny Sergeevich Botkin (1865-1918) and Sergey Sergeevich Botkin (1859-1910). Sergey Petrovich Botkin is the founder of the first in Russia and one of the largest scientific therapeutic schools. Among the doctors who were trained in the clinic of the Military medical Academy in the years of work of Sergei Petrovich Botkin, were his sons, however, traditionally in the publications on the scientific clinical school of Sergei Petrovich Botkin, their names are not mentioned among his students. The authors made an attempt to trace the stages of the life of the sons of Sergei Petrovich Botkin, in particular, study and work in the Military medical Academy, scientific training abroad, medical activities in medical institutions of St. Petersburg and organization of medical care as part of the red cross during the Russian-Japanese war (1904-1905). The work of Yevgeny Botkin as a court physician of the family of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II is considered separately. The article reveals the influence of the person S.P. Botkin and his closest disciples on E.S. Botkin and S.S. Botkin, as well as the continuity of clinical views and research of S.P. Botkin and his sons. The authors emphasize the similarity of ethical principles of medical activity, which guided Sergey Petrovich Botkin and his sons. The materials presented in the article confirm that the sons of Sergey Petrovich Botkin — Evgeny Sergeevich Botkin and Sergey Sergeevich Botkin — belong to his scientific clinical school.

Published: October 2018

This article presents the results of the clinical and statistical evaluation of the calls of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) by the data of the emergency medical service in Moscow. Ambulance teams was performed a voluntary questionnaire survey of 5003 patients with AF. There were 17% of emergency calls for heart rhythm disturbances from the total number of cardiovascular diseases and 88% of these arrhythmias was AF. A clear trend was observed in the prevalence of AF in men of working age and in women in the older age group. Among the respondents prevails paroxysmal form of AF in 70.1% of cases. The average score on the risk scale of thromboembolic complications in patients with atrial fibrillation/flutter CHA2DS2-VASc was 3.56±1.71. The average score on the scale of risk assessment of ischemic stroke in patients with nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation/flutter CHADS2 was 1.85±1.13. The number of patients with a score of two or more on both scales was 87.7% and 59.3% respectively. 28% of patients with AF asked for medical help at least 48 hours after the onset of the paroxysm. Regular observation by a cardiologist is carried out in 50.5% of cases, by a therapist in 62.8%, jointly by a therapist and a cardiologist in 45% respectively. Continuous oral anticoagulant therapy is performed in 29.8% of patients with AF. The percentage of medical evacuations of patients with AF increased from 23.8% in 2015 to 27.1% in 2016. The study showed that regular clinical and statistical analysis of the effectiveness of medical care for patients with AF at all stages of medical surveillance is necessary.

Introducción: la excreción de sodio en orina de 24 horas es el método de referencia para evaluar la ingesta de sodio; sin embargo, se  requieren herramientas que puedan aplicarse de manera más práctica tanto en el ámbito clínico como en el poblacional.Objetivos: desarrollar y evaluar un cuestionario autoadministrable de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos ricos en sodio (CFCA-S) como herramienta de tamizaje para consumo elevado de sodio en una población adulta de la Ciudad de México.Métodos: se desarrolló un CFCA-S con 28 categorías de alimentos ricos en sodio y su sistema de puntuación respectivo. El percentil 75 del puntaje total del CFCA-S se probó como punto de corte para clasificar a las personas con alto consumo de sodio a dos niveles (≥ 2.000 y ≥ 3.000 mg/día), considerando la excreción urinaria de sodio en 24 horas como método de referencia.Resultados: se incluyeron 95 participantes (mediana de edad: 39 [percentiles 25-75: 26-46] años; hombres: 39 [41,1%]). Un puntaje total de 51,2 en el CFCA-S mostró una sensibilidad del 31,6% (intervalo de confianza [IC] 95%: 19,1-47,5), una especificidad del 78,9% (IC 95%: 66,7-87,5), valor predictivo positivo del 50% (IC 95%: 31,4-68,6) y valor predictivo negativo del 63,4% (IC 95%: 51,8-73,6), para clasificar a las personas con consumo de sodio ≥ 3.000 mg/día. Un puntaje ≥ 51,2 se asoció significativamente con una ingesta de sodio ≥ 3.000 mg/día, resultando en una razón de momios de 3,12 (IC 95%: 1,03-9,44, p = 0,04), después de ajustar por sexo, edad e índice de masa corporal (IMC). Conclusiones: el CFCA-S es una herramienta práctica, factible de aplicarse y útil para identificar a personas en riesgo de tener un consumo elevado de sodio.

Objective: to estimate energy, nutrient intake and diet adequacy in preschool-aged children based on data from the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey 2012.Material and methods: dietary data in children < 5 years (n = 1,212) collected through a Semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SFFQ) were analyzed. Energy and daily nutrient intakes and adequacies were calculated comparing by sociodemographic characteristics.Results: median daily energy intake was 1,252 kcal (adequacy 104%). Adequacies above 100% were observed for calcium, zinc, vitamin C, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin A and median of saturated fat. Low percent adequacies were observed for fiber, iron, polyunsaturated fat and vitamin D. Intakes were lower in the southern region compared to other regions. Most intakes and adequacies were higher in urban compared to rural areas, but fiber had the opposite trend. Indigenous children had low intakes and percent adequacies.Conclusions: risks of dietary deficiencies and excess are present in Mexican preschool-aged children, with marked differences across sociodemographicstrata.

Published: October 2018

Introducción: recientemente se ha planteado la posibilidad de comprobar la colocación de los catéteres centrales de inserción periférica (PICC) mediante control electrocardiográfico intracavitario (ECG-IC) ya que permitiría disminuir el tiempo de colocación y evitaría el control radiológico.Objetivo: evaluación de dicho método frente al control radiológico habitual.Métodos: estudio prospectivo en el que se incluyeron 532 pacientes de forma consecutiva. Se excluyeron aquellos pacientes con arritmias o en tratamiento con fármacos antiarrítmicos. En todos los casos se comprobó la colocación de la punta del PICC mediante control ECG-IC y mediante la realización de una radiografía de tórax, que fue considerada método de referencia.Resultados: la colocación del PICC gracias al control ECG-IC (aplicabilidad) fue del 96,8%. La correcta colocación del PICC gracias a la interpretación del ECG-IC se confirmó en un 94% de los casos con la radiografía de tórax (precisión). En 13 pacientes (2,7%) se requirió la recolocación del catéter tras el control radiológico. El índice κ de concordancia fue de 0,356 (p < 0,001). La sensibilidad del método ECG fue de 0,98, con un VPP de 0,97 y un cociente de probabilidad positivo de 1,5. Sin embargo, la especificidad fue solo del 0,35 con un VPN de 0,41 y un cociente de probabilidad negativo de 0,06.Conclusión: la comprobación de la colocación de los PICC mediante ECG-IC es plausible, segura, presenta unos índices de validez/fiabilidad adecuados y permitiría disminuir el tiempo de colocación del catéter. Sin embargo, la comprobación radiológica sigue siendo necesaria, especialmente en los casos de ECG negativo o dudoso.
Aceite de palma y salud cardiovascular: consideraciones para valorar la literatura
Authors: Gesteiro Eva , Galera-Gordo Jesús , González-Gross Marcela
Published: October 2018

El aceite de palma se obtiene de los frutos de Elaeis guineensis, E. oleifera y el cruce de ambas, OxG (híbrida). En crudo contiene gran proporción de carotenoides (responsables del color rojo), tocoferoles y tocotrienoles, pero se pierden durante su refinado. En su composición destacan los ácidos grasos palmítico y oleico, casi al 50%, aunque su proporción varía según la fracción en la que se utilizan. La absorción de los ácidos grasos y, por tanto, su efecto sobre el perfil lipídico plasmático dependen de su posición en el triglicérido, especialmente en sn-2. Según el aceite de palma o la fracción, variará dicha posición de los ácidos grasos monoinsaturados o saturados. Se revisan críticamente las dos principales revisiones publicadas en relación al aceite de palma, que incluyen un total de 67 artículos, además de otros estudios más recientes. La mayoría se realizan en países no europeos donde el aceite de palma es el principal aceite culinario. Su efecto sobre el perfil cardiovascular varía según con qué se compare, mejorándolo frente a las grasas trans y saturadas y empeorándolo frente a las grasas mono y poliinsaturadas. Hemosdetectado errores metodológicos importantes, como no diferenciar entre palma, palmiste o fracciones, comparar ácidos grasos con aceites o no considerar la actividad física y otros factores que influyen sobre el perfil lipídico. No hemos encontrado estudios realizados con aceite de palma como ingrediente de alimentos en un contexto de dieta mediterránea, donde el principal aceite culinario es el de oliva, que serían los extrapolables a nuestro entorno.

Published: October 2018

Speaking skill is affected by two factors, the internal and external factors. The two external factors are instructional methods and learning resources. The complete and incomplete learning resources will surely affect the instructional process. As well as with instructional methods, it will affect the achievement of learning objectives. This research is aimed to get the empirical data and to find out the effect of instructional method and learning resources towards studentsâ€™ speaking skill at state senior high schools in Bekasi. The research was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 and SMA Negeri 2 Sukatani-Bekasi. The total sample of this research is 40 students. The experiment was done from 17 Juli â€“ 02 December in 2017. The technique of collecting data of instructional method and learning resources used questionnaires. Otherwise, the speaking skill was acquired from the test. The result of the research identifies there is the significant effect of instructional method and learning resources towards students speaking skill. Thus, the schools and the government should increasingly work hard in fulfillment of the completeness of learning resources and using an appropriate instructional method for the achievement of learning objectives.

Educational technology as applied science that changes the definition over time makes the study area and contribution of Educational Technology in the education system at Indonesia also changed. This study is to identify the implementation of Educational Technology areas that have been applied in school institutions at elementary school, so in the future undergraduate researchers can do further research. This study is a descriptive research and has a survey method. The purpose of this study is identifying the implementation of Educational Technology areas that have been applied in elementary school institutions consisting of the area of creating, using, managing and evaluation. This study conducted at SDN Tegal Alur 09 From August to October 2017. To collect the data, this study used a questionnaire sheet, an interview sheet, and documentation. The result of this study has two types data, first, in quantitave data all of Educational Technology areas have been applied in school institution, but only three areas, which get a very good score, meanwhile creating the area get a low score. Second, in descriptive analysis data, there are some indicators of creating the area that havenâ€™t been applied yet, but on the other hand, some indicators in all of areas that have been applied still in the simple and restricted form. Based on the result, educational technology as the study and ethical practice to facilitate learning needs to be introduced closer to the school institutions, because school institution still doesnâ€™t know the existence of educational technology and its areas.

EL TURISMO LITORAL EN EL MEDITERRÁNEO NOROCCIDENTAL: UNA APROXIMACIÓN CUALITATIVA A UN MODELO EN PROCESO DE TRANSFORMACIÓN
Authors: CATALÀ OLTRA LLUÍS
Published: October 2018

En este trabajo se caracteriza el momento actual y las perspectivas de futuro del turismo de costa en el Mediterráneo noroccidental (Islas Baleares, Cataluña y Comunidad Valenciana), una zona que ha alcanzado la madurez e incluso se ha enfrentado de manera exitosa a un hipotético declive. Para ello, se utilizan 33 entrevistas semiestructuradas a agentes clave del territorio (empresarios, responsables de la administración y académicos). A partir de su discurso se obtiene un diagnóstico de conjunto y se identifican las políticas (tanto empresariales como institucionales) a desarrollar para dar continuidad al buen momento del turismo del litoral mediterráneo español y, a más largo plazo, prevenir la decadencia del destino. Parece haber consenso en la necesidad de superar definitivamente el modelo anterior ligado al negocio inmobiliario, apostando por un turismo sostenible desde el punto de vista medioambiental, pero también sociocultural y económico; un tipo de turismo que, a través de la oferta complementaria y la singularización de la experiencia, agregue valor y contribuya al posicionamiento del producto en un contexto global altamente competitivo.
Pain Prevalence in Instrumental Musicians: A Systematic Review
Authors: Silva Anabela G , Lã Filipa MB , Afreixo Vera
Published: October 2018

OBJECTIVE: To investigate current prevalence of pain among different musician groups, sex, and body region. METHODS: Studies were sought from PubMed, Web of Science, Academic Search Complete, Science Direct, and Scielo. Databases were searched from 1 January 2000 until December 2012.
Two reviewers screened titles and abstracts and assessed full reports for potentially eligible studies. One reviewer extracted information on musicians’ characteristics, study methods, and study quality. When possible, a meta-analysis of pain prevalence estimates was performed. RESULTS:
A total of 18 studies were included in this systematic review. Studies assessed pain prevalence in general and the prevalence of pain affecting playing capacity for different time periods: point, 1-week, 1-year, month, and lifetime prevalence. The prevalence of pain in general, across all
groups of musicians and periods of interest over which pain was assessed, varied between 29.0 and 90.0%, whereas the prevalence of pain affecting playing capacity varied between 25.8 and 84.4%. There was a tendency for guitar players to have the highest pain prevalence. The most affected body
regions were the low back (9.8 to 66.7%) and neck (9.8 to 48.5%). CONCLUSIONS: Pain prevalence is high among musicians, independent of the pain definition and time period used. Health and educational policy makers should become aware of the high prevalence of pain affecting performance practices,
so that pain-associated mechanisms are investigated and preventive strategies are tested and implemented.

Published: October 2018

OBJECTIVE: Athlete screening tools combine measures of physical performance and morphometric parameters unique to each sport. Given the increasing competitiveness of dancesport, we designed the present quasi-experimental study to analyze the relationship between body height and motor
coordination in college students. METHODS: Six hundred eighty-six students were randomly selected to participate in a dancing sport program that consisted of 16 weeks (32 hrs) of training. The program included an assessment of basic skills (rhythm, movement specificity, intensity, expressive
force, and action coherence) and skills related to a doubles dance routine. Male and female students were divided into four single-sex groups based on their heights (each group had a 5-cm range), and the average scores for each performance indicator were analyzed. RESULTS: A one-way ANOVA
revealed significant differences in performance scores for each indicator of basic skills and double routine skills between the different height groups. Male in the 175–179 cm group and female students in the 165–169 cm group had the best performance scores on each indicator, while
the shortest students had the worst performance scores. CONCLUSION: The height of students participating in sport dancing training had an impact on dancesport performance and motor coordination, counter to the traditional belief that shorter people have better coordination.
Music Performance Anxiety in Young Musicians: Comparison of Playing Classical or Popular Music
Authors: Nusseck Manfred , Zander Mark , Spahn Claudia
Published: October 2018

Objectives: Music performance anxiety (MPA) is an issue frequently experienced by musicians. It occurs not only in experienced musicians but also in children and adolescents. Furthermore, most research on MPA has been done with musicians who specialized in classical music. This study
investigated the development of MPA across the ages in young musicians focusing on the classical and popular genres. Methods: In a cross-sectional survey, 239 students at German music schools, aged between 7 and 20 yrs, were asked about their perceived MPA and musical background. The data
were analyzed according to musical genre and age. Multiple regression analyses were performed to investigate the influences of musical experiences on MPA. Results: The analyses yielded high levels of MPA for classical musicians between 7 and 16 yrs, which was reduced in older students; for
popular musicians, low MPA was seen in the younger (7–11 yrs) and high MPA in the older (16+ yrs) musicians. MPA was influenced by gender and the number of performances in the classical music group and only by gender and age in the popular music group. Conclusion: The results showed
clear different trends for the development of MPA between musical genres that should be taken into account for educational aspects in musical training.
Physical and Mental Workloads in Professional Dance Teachers
Authors: Wanke Eileen M , Schmidt Mike , Leslie-Spinks Jeremy , Fischer Axel , Groneberg David A
Published: October 2018

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the level of mental and physical workloads in professional dance teachers depending on the trained students’ age, technique level, or dance style. METHODS: A total number of 133 professional dance pedagogues responded
to an online cross-sectional questionnaire survey on self-assessment of physical and mental workloads occurring during dance units. RESULTS: The majority of dance teachers estimated their level of physical and mental workload to be almost as high as that of their students, with differences
in physical and mental workloads observed depending on dance style, age of students, and technical level. More than 60% of the teachers were convinced that their occupation implies positive effects on their own health in terms of self-realization (78.2%), musculoskeletal system (66.9%), and
social relationships (61.7%). Of all respondents, 58.6% stated that their musculoskeletal system was jeopardized by the physically demanding activity. This is followed by the fear of financial insecurity (50.4%). The majority of all dance teachers (males 65.4%, females 63.9%) would like to
obtain further education on prevention against or dealing with physical workload. CONCLUSION: Physical and mental workloads play an important role in dance teaching. Coping with or preventing these loads could be keys to a lifelong, healthy career as a professional dance teacher. Future trials
should look at clinical parameters of physical and mental load.
