Gesture and body-movement as teaching and learning tools in Western classical singing
Creators: name: Nafisi, Julia Susanna Alexandra
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis investigates the use of gesture and body-movement as teaching and learning tools in Western classical singing. The introduction draws together a number of theoretical threads to argue why this study has been undertaken and what its objectives are. These threads are elaborated on in the literature review which covers the fields of Vocal Pedagogy, Learning, Gesture Studies, Choral Rehearsal, Music Education and Acting. The study uses two methodologies: survey and experiment. Using terminology devised by the author as Nafisi-system of singing movements, a survey amongst singing teachers in Australia and Germany establishes the prevalence and thus relevance of gestures as tools to enhance and/or illustrate explanation and/or demonstration in the communication of singing related concepts; similarly the survey confirms that voice teachers encourage singing students to use gesture and/or body-movement as tools to facilitate understanding and learning of physiological functions, thought concepts or musical ideas. The survey further yields a wealth of hitherto unknown information about many facets of voice teachers’ use of gesture and movement in their teaching, testifying both to the potential power and controversy inherent in this teaching tool. While the survey had collected teachers’ subjective assessments, the experiment sought to actually prove the effectiveness of gesture and body-movement. Following the argument that the quality of the vocal tone constituted the single most important factor in Western classical singing technique, it was propounded that a teaching intervention could only rightfully claim validity if its efficacy was evident in an improved quality of vocal tone and an experiment was designed to show just that. Within the limits of the experimental design, the results were unambiguous: Compared with a teaching intervention that emulated ‘traditional’ voice teaching without movement, the teaching interventions that incorporated gestures and/or body-movements were clearly superior in their efficacy in two out of four tested vocal tasks and equally as effective in the other two tested vocal tasks.
Identifying Latent Disease Factors Expressed in Subgroups of Patients with Depressive Disorders using Sparse Group Factor Analysis
Creators: name: Enbiyaoglu, Mert
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This study applies a Sparse Group Factor Analysis (GFA) model with regularized horseshoe

priors to a multimodal dataset of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), including

structural MRI, EEG recordings, behavioral tasks (Hariri Task and FERT), and question-

naires. The primary goals were to identify latent factors distinguishing patients in remission

from healthy controls, di!erentiate those who relapse from those who do not, and uncover

subgroups within the broader depressed population. The Sparse GFA model successfully cap-

tured both inter-modality and intra-modality variance, achieving group-wise, element-wise,

and sample-wise sparsity. However, the dominance of EEG data posed challenges for captur-

ing meaningful dependencies across other modalities. Comparative analysis with vanilla and

non-regularized sparse GFA models demonstrated that regularized horseshoe priors enhance

sparsity and interpretability. Notably, a latent factor dominated by beta band activity in cen-

tral and parietal regions was di!erentially expressed between healthy controls and patients in

remission (p = 0.028). In the study focusing on patients in remission, several latent dimensions

were identified, including those reflecting grey matter variations, emotional visual processing,

and subcortical-cognitive interactions. Additionally, two key axes emerged, representing the

spectrum of general mental health and psychological well-being versus psychological distress.

However, factors that could clearly di!erentiate between patients who relapse and those who

do not remained elusive. These findings highlight the potential of multimodal data integration

to improve diagnostic precision in depression and suggest further refinement of factor modeling

strategies is needed.

title: Digitale Fotografie-eine terminologische Untersuchung in Deutsch und Französisch
Creators: name: Fux, Ingrid
Year: 2009

description: Mit der Arbeit wird ein Vergleich des Deutschen und des Französischen auf der Grundlage einer Untersuchung der Begriffe und Benennungen der jeweiligen Einzelsprachen versucht. Die Eingrenzung auf Belichtung mit den Themenbereichen Licht, Kontrast und Schärfe dient erstens dazu, den Kernbereich der Fotografie, der sich mit der digitalen Fotografie verändert hat, also die Ersetzung des chemischen Materials durch den elektronischen Sensor, und damit zusammenhängende Begriffsverschiebungen zu erfassen. Zweitens ermöglicht diese Eingrenzung, den Zusammenhang zwischen Technik und Gestaltung zu berücksichtigen und vermeidet es, fachlich heterogene Begriffe, wie z.B. „Schärfe“, aus dem Zusammenhang zu reißen. Für die Gliederung der Terminologie wird die professionelle Vorgehensweise berücksichtigt, in welcher die einfachere Vorgehensweise von Laien sozusagen mit enthalten ist, wobei die erstere der von Amateuren - mehr oder weniger - entspricht. Der Zielsetzung der Arbeit entsprechend wird eine an unterschiedliche Empfänger gerichtete Quellenauswahl zusammengestellt. Die Quellen sind allgemeine Lehrbücher und Nachschlagewerke über Technik und Gestaltung sowie Literatur in verschiedener Publikationsform, die vor allem an „ambitionierte Amateure“ oder grundsätzlich Personen gerichtet ist, die das Fotografieren oder einen bestimmten Teilbereich des Fotografierens erlernen wollen. Um die besondere Struktur des Themas und pragmatische Gesichtspunkte zu berücksichtigen, wird die Form der Begriffsfelder gewählt. Da v.a. einige umgangssprachliche Ausdrücke weniger gut über Definitionen erschlossen werden können, wird z.T. kontextorientiert vorgegangen. Im Zusammenhang mit den Begriffsbeziehungen und den Benennungen erfolgt eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem Aspekt der Motivation. Die Begriffe und Begriffsfelder werden durch fünfzehn Tabellen übersichtlich dargestellt.

description: Frequently referred to as ‘sexting’ or ‘amateur pornography’, digital sexual images and videos form an increasingly common part of adult sexual relationships. However, the vocabulary available to speak about these practices is limited, with ‘sexting’ often associated with young people in negative terms. This study is based on 23 interviews with adults in Australia who are 25 years and older. It explores the language adults employ to discuss and comprehend the creation and sharing of sexualised images and videos. Findings show that negative or positive connotations associated with the terms used to discuss sexual images and videos influenced the ways participants drew on, or rejected, terms to align digital practices with their sexual subjectivity. Reticence to engage in active communication about digital sexual practices, and participant’s distancing of their own practices from the terms commonly understood to refer to such practices, made it difficult to engage in conversations about consent or desire in the context of digitally mediated sex. Findings provide insight into the ways that ­digital sexual subjectivities are discursively framed and extend these implications for sexual health promotion with respect to how to frame messages of digital sexual safety in a sex-positive and open way.

Effective professional development in music for early childhood educators.
Creators: name: Bainger, Lucy
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study explores the experiences of three early childhood educators working in preschools taking part in a year long music collaboration. The aim of the research was to gain a deeper understanding of how best to provide practical professional development in music by listening to how the participant educators perceived and identified their needs throughout the collaboration. The aim of the collaboration was to increase the participant’s music skills and confidence through a collaborative model of professional development, to instigate long-term changes to music teaching practice. In this longitudinal, phenomenological study, the researcher acted as a consultant and mentor to the participant educators, offering materials, suggestions, guidance and expertise. Data was collected through a series of semi-structured formal interviews, regular observations of the participant’s working, followed by informal discussions. In addition, each participant kept a reflective journal which contributed to the data. The data was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. This study does not attempt to generalise, but rather to gain a deep understanding of a small group of educators in the hope of identifying the essential aspects of an effective collaboration model of professional development in music, finding directions that may prove to be applicable to other early childhood educators. The study makes practical recommendations for a more systematic and effective implementation of professional development in music to improve the provision of music in early childhood education in Australia. This study found that a collaborative model of professional development, when conducted over a twelve-month period and located in the educator’s working context, was efficacious in improving and establishing the participant educators’ music skills, understandings and confidence, resulting in sustained improvements in teaching practice. To meet the educator’s needs, a music collaboration needs to address eighteen specific understandings, described here as the ‘Group of Music Confidences’, of which the first and key step was to identify and interrogate educators’ negative self-beliefs around musicality. The study’s focus was on the participants, and it is recommended that further research needs to be done which would include the impacts of changes to music teaching practice due to collaborative PD on student outcomes.

Hybrid identities: being a Greek musicker in Melbourne and in Greece
Creators: name: Georgoulas, Renee Michelle
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This research explores the hybrid identities of Australian and Greek popular and traditional musicians and dancers in Melbourne, Australia and in Greece and finds that identity is complex, changing, and influenced by social and cultural context. All participants are bicultural, bi-musical and bilingual and select their music and dance practices according to personal preference, context, time and place. Cultural hybridity is increasingly common in culturally inclusive countries in a globalized world. The research begins with an autoethnographical study. Subsequently there are three individual and group case studies of Greek Australian musickers (musicians and a dancer). There is a study of Greek jazz musicians. In these phenomenological case studies data reveals negotiations and tensions in identity construction both by individuals and shared with others in groups. The final study explores the understandings of identity and culture held by bicultural Greek Australians and the wider community about public celebrations of Greek culture, specifically the annual Antipodes festival held in Melbourne (Victoria). The formation and development of hybridized identity is a complex lifelong process that may generate tensions for the individual. There are both strengths and challenges for those transitioning between cultures. This study focuses on the musical identity formed by personal, musical and cultural contexts.
Doing the right thing: nurse leaders and codes of ethics in nursing
Creators: name: Brans, Lexie Anne
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Nurses have been delivering nursing care to anyone who needs it and wherever it is needed for centuries. The nursing profession of today has evolved from the reforms of nursing ushered in by that remarkable polymath of Victorian England, Florence Nightingale. Nursing care is now delivered in a very complex system, and nurses, as women, form the majority of the health care workforce, so how nurses deliver nursing care matters. Since 1993 nurses in Australia have been guided in delivering that care in an ethical manner by the Code of Ethics for Nurses in Australia (2008) (the Code), and it applies to nurses as clinicians, managers, researchers and educators. Although the focus of most nursing ethics scholarship and decision-making is the micro or nurse-patient level, ethics is also applied at other largely unrecognised levels. They are the meso (nurse-institution); molar (nurse-corporation); macro (nurse-society); and mega (nurse-global community) levels. Nurse leaders, defined as (senior) nurses in formally designated leadership positions, have the capacity to initiate and implement change at all these levels. They also have a responsibility to do so ethically and in Australia, in accordance with the Code. There is a dearth of research, both nationally and internationally, on how nurse leaders are taught to meet these ethical obligations: in Australia it is effectively nonexistent. There is also very little research on the application of ethics at the five levels and on how (or if) nurse leaders use codes of nursing ethics to guide them in their ethical decision-making processes. The above constitutes the premises for the thesis which investigates how nurses historically and currently understand (nursing) ethics and the role of codes of ethics in guiding their practice. The research methodology is that of philosophical analysis and a guiding principle which underpins it is the questioning of assumptions and how that (should) inform ethical decision-making at the nurse leadership level. Barbara Carper’s seminal ‘fundamental patterns of knowing in nursing’ provides the framework for the analysis of the Code: the Carperian reading of the Code. Although the Code is necessary to nurse leaders because of its status as a mandated competence, the reading shows that it is profoundly inadequate as an ethical action guide. Consequently, a major recommendation of the thesis is that as well as being taught (nursing) ethics as a subject, more importantly, nurse leaders need to be taught the methods of philosophy. That education facilitates the enactment of reasoned moral choices and robust ethical decision-making especially at levels beyond the micro, the level where most nurse leaders function. This thesis has uncovered many areas where a great deal more research is required, and this is reflected in the recommendations which principally concern education and philosophy in nursing, but also codes of ethics at the nurse leader level.
The development of school music education in Taiwan (1895-1995)
Creators: name: Lee, Angela Hao-Chun
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis examines the development of music in Taiwan from the period of 1895 to 1995. This time frame has been chosen because not only did it involve the introduction and development of music education in Taiwan but also included three main stages in the recent history of Taiwan: colonial rule under the Japanese protectorate (1895-1945), the restoration of Taiwan to the Republic of China (1945-1968), and the reforms and achievements of the most recent period (1968-1995).
 Following a discussion of the main themes and contentions, the methodology employed and a review of the relevant research literature, there is a chronologically divided discussion of the development of institutionalized music education. For the current study, the organizational themes are elementary school music, secondary school music, music in teacher education and the school music syllabi and supporting texts.
In Taiwan, before the Japanese protectorate, Western religious music was influential. With the arrival of the Japanese, American and European music education practices continued to be influential because of their adoption by the Meiji government. The Japanese established the school system in Taiwan and imposed a curriculum to "Japanize" the population. Teacher training was also initiated during this time.

A psychoanalytical study of self-learning in music composition
Creators: name: Lavan, Daniel
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis approaches self-learning in music composition from a psychoanalytic (PA) perspective, specifically with reference to the work of the French theorists Julia Kristeva and Jacques Lacan. These theorists focus upon the examination of the subjective experience of self-learning. This theoretical underpinning was found to be best suited to revealing hidden aspects of subjectivity. Since the experience of self-learning addressed by the thesis is the candidates, the methodology autoethnographical, and within this context there is an adaptation of PA theory to describe and analyze an electroacoustic composition written several several years ago. The compositional aspects were selflearnt. This piece has received recognition from listeners and professionals at universities, at an exhibition and on websites. In adapting French psychoanalytic theory to approaching the question of how an autodidact could have generated this piece without formal instruction, the theoretical approach selected was difficult but promised to approach the notion of subjectivity in self-learning from an original perspective. Thus, due to the unusual nature of this approach, it became necessary to progressively outline and explain the relevant aspects of the theory, having in mind an intelligent reader who is not necessarily familiar with PA theory. Throughout there is a careful balance at key points in the exposition: between PA theory and self-learning; between PA theory and music perception and practice; and between the theory and the autoethnographic context of the thesis. These linkages are original, i.e. proposed and developed by the candidate.
Older Chinese-Australian and Chinese community music engagement
Creators: name: Li, Sicong
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This research study will investigate community music engagement by both Chinese-Australians and Chinese older people at two different older people’s organizations with the aim of exploring the affects of music engagement on older people. The study seeks to explore cultural differences between Chinese-Australian older people and Chinese older people as they relate to their music engagement. The research contentions were that (1) active music engagement can enhance the quality of the life of older people and (2) music engagement offers particular benefits for maintaining and sharing cultural identity. This research will compare the data of two groups of older people who are either Chinese-Australian or Chinese in China to share their understandings about music engagement later in life. This discussion will be contextualized by a description of the Chinese community in Australia and an introduction to society in mainland China. This study will include an exploration of Chinese society, education and music in China as all participants live in China or lived there before migration. This phenomenological qualitative research approach allows an investigation of participants’ understandings and experiences of community music engagement later in life. Phenomenological research seeks understanding through description of lived experience using personal history, culture and society, identifying the true nature or 'essence' of human experiences (Husserl, 1969). This research utilized a case study design. The data were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which aims to ‘explore in detail how participants are making sense of their personal and social world, and the main currency for an IPA study is the meanings particular experiences, events, states hold for participants’ (Smith & Osborn, 2003, p. 53). Four data collection strategies, semi-structured interviews, observations, documents and artifacts, and a researcher journal, were employed in this phenomenological case study. Active music participation offers a way that music can be used in the lives of older people to sustain well-being and health. This research explores the issues and concerns regarding music engagement, music learning and cultural influences among Chinese-Australian and Chinese older people. By exploring the affects of music in Chinese-Australian older people and Chinese older people’s lives, four broad themes were identified from the data: Emotional well-being, connections with the past, shared interests and mental and physical well-being. Each of these themes is explored in the research through the words and experiences of the participants.

description: This M.Sc. thesis presented at Edinburgh University is an attempt to analyse a particular branch of planning, conservation planning, as defined by Part 1 of the Civic Amenities Act, 1967. For reasons of ease of designation, increased environmental awareness and scope for public participation, conservation is now a much used technique. Because of strong financial pressures and a certain misunderstanding as to its use, however, much has still to be achieved, and this thesis suggests the future directions to follow. Chapter 1 argues the case for conservation in terms of environmental, aesthetic, social, psychological and financial considerations. Conservation is seen as a way of preserving environment from the effects of new development and traffic. Moreover it is argued that conservation is required at a more basic level, in that environment conditions human beings, their habitat greatly influencing their character, and the more diversified the habitat the more resilient the character. Problems of economic viability are examined in the light of associated benefits together with the structure of a conservation area. Conservation emerges as a two level system, requiring a place both in a general planning strategy and in a detailed design scheme. Chapter 2 set the scene for a discussion on the practice of conservation planning. The technique was introduced by the Government primarily to save money, so that whilst physical aspects of area delineation are well featured, financial aspects are not. The dilemma is that practical conservation is based on area policy, whereas financial conservation is based on individual buildings, and until this is rectified then progress must necessarily be slow. Chapter 3 describes the practice of urban conservation. Although problems of famous historic towns are noted, the real problem exists in the ordinary towns of Britain where pleasantness of environment is their only advantage - and this is consequently where protection is most needed, but still not forthcoming. Reports are analysed in detail as to content and once again the isolationism of conservation schemes to other planning strategy, and the negative attitudes of control are noted. For the future, it must be realised that "conservation” is only another word for planning in an historic environment, that negative attitudes should cease as financial provisions are increased (as they surely must be), that conservation planning should be regarded as planning for its own sake and not an exercise in public participation, and that some form of rationalised directives as to detailed policy be made available to enliven conservation from its present mediocrity.

description: „Der schwere Abschied von einem Tertiärmedium am Beispiel Fernschreiber“ nähert sich der Frage „Wie sich die Kommunikationstechnologie Telex eine Nische erobern konnte“ von vier Perspektiven aus: Jener der Netze, der Akteure, der Technik und der Botschaft. Den Ausgangspunkt für die Betrachtungen bildet die von Harry Pross geprägte Klassifizierung von Medien nach deren Technikeinsatz. Erläutert werden darüber hinaus die Geschichte, der Einsatz, die Verbreitung, Nutzungsmotive und die herausragende Rolle, die die Telegraphie in der Geschichte der Vernetzung der Welt und der Kommunikation an sich gespielt hat; im Fokus steht dabei n erster Linie der Überbegriff Konvergenz, der im vorliegenden Fall ambivalent zu werten ist. Abgerundet werden die Betrachtungen durch die Befragung von Experten, die als jahrelange Anwender aus erster Hand ausgewählte Details und Hintergründe beleuchten können. Anhand ausgewählter Modelle werden also Erfahrungen, Fakten und Behauptungen theoretischen Ansätzen aus unterschiedlichen Richtungen der Kommunikationswissenschaft gegenübergestellt und am Rande die Frage aufgeworfen, ob nicht gerade in diesem Fall doch eine Einzelmedientheorie formuliert werden sollte.
Sound in sight: an autoethnographical case study of teaching and learning western music theory

description: This thesis explores the phenomenon of teaching and learning of western music theory within university level education. The teaching and learning of western music theory concerns an intangible medium, which can pose difficulties in its understanding. Western music theory is multifaceted and pluralistic in nature, with its learning hinging upon the interpretation of individuals situated within particular musical cultures. This being said, the subject also contains historical and sociocultural structures that define particular approaches to music. Due to this interpretative nature of music, a divergent educational approach is required rather than one that is convergent. Adopting a hermeneutical phenomenological stance stemming from a constructivist epistemology, the current study uses an autoethnography as central to its examination. Expanding around this central inquiry is a student survey and investigations to current pedagogical approaches adopted in western music theory teaching and learning. Also building from the central autoethnographical exposition, a section of this thesis is dedicated to visualising the structures inherent to western music theory. This has been done in order to devise visual approaches to the teaching and learning of a subject that contains very abstract and intangible concepts, which are often difficult to describe in words. The last section of the current study tethers concepts from all prior chapters to make pedagogical suggestions based upon its research. Such suggestions aim toward a learner-centred, visual approach to western music theory structures. On the other side of the pedagogical coin, the multitudes of musical interpretations can be facilitated through the concept of musical thought, which is unpacked and explored throughout this volume. This thesis aims to provide teachers and learners with a visualised approach to the teaching and learning of western music theory. The current study also aims to contextualise the reader with understandings of the nature of music and hence musical thought. This volume has been made with supporting materials that do not aim to induce a dogmatic approach, rather outlining a divergent approach as a means of teaching and learning western music theory.

The inclusion of aural comprehension in the Victorian Certificate of Education music performance study design
Creators: name: Jacob, Robert
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This research is principally concerned with the introduction of the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE). This curriculum was trialed in 1987 and was fully implemented in 1992. The political and educational context of this change as well as the role of aural comprehension in this music curriculum compared with the dominant Higher School Certificate (HSC) (Group 1) it immediately replaced will also be investigated. An examination of the teaching of aural comprehension skills in the VCE music classroom also forms part of this research. The researcher has had an abiding interest in this area since beginning his career, which has been concurrent with the introduction and development of the VCE. The impact of this curriculum reform on the critical area of aural comprehension has been dramatic and for this reason this research examines the area of aural comprehension from the perspective of what is asked of the students and how teachers currently address this area in the classroom. In order to examine these matters, a multifaceted research approach is taken utilising a variety of data sources and appropriate data analysis techniques within the context of a multiple case study. The approach employed will be described and placed in a methodological framework. This approach will provide a detailed picture of the introduction of the VCE Music Performance study design (initially called Music Craft) and the significant differences between this curriculum and the most frequently undertaken music credential immediately prior to this, the Higher School Certificate (HSC) Group 1 subject Music A. The political and educational context of this curriculum change and an examination of current teaching practice with respect to aural comprehension skills in the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) Unit 3 and 4 Music Performance (Group) and Music Performance (Solo) will also be described and explained.
