Abstract:
Music, as the backbone of artistic projects, can provide ideal spaces for adults, improving their quality of life. This proposal is part of a larger investigation, from a research stay. This research, of a synchronous and descriptive nature, used the narrative and descriptive perspective, but from the lived artistic experiences. Through interviews with experts, the desired information was obtained to write a report. The work was completed with a theoretical framework divided into different sections that include education, music and adults, didactic spaces for music education in adults, music and interculturality as an space for musical learning, and Sustainable Development Goals. The results confirmed the need to create spaces expressly for musical education and training for adults, regardless of whether or not they have previous musical training, since it is understood that adult profiles differ from children and adolescents, especially in terms of learning rhythms and needs. Among the conclusions, we can highlight the important relationship that is established between adults, society, music and culture. On the other hand, we are aware that there is a clear exclusion regarding access to artistic and cultural education.

Abstract:
Background: Diagnosis and treatment of cancer and blood disorders in childhood, adolescence and young adulthood has a significant impact on patients and families. The Psychosocial Standards of Care project, initiated in 2012, resulted in 15 Psychosocial Standards (PSS) that guide the care patients and families receive throughout treatment. As members of the multidisciplinary psychosocial care team, music therapists play an important role in the advancing the PSS. Most surveys have focused on other commonly provided services (e.g., social work, child life), leaving gaps in our understanding about the availability and use of music therapy services to advance PSS. This paper offers an initial description of how music therapy services contribute to the provision of care under these Standards. Methods: We analyze how music therapy services promote PSS through synthesis of a music therapy clinical practice survey, published literature, and scope of practice documents. A brief overview of music therapy services structure, PSS that music therapy services currently address, and two clinical program descriptions are included. Results: Music therapy services address 9 of the 15 PSS and are well integrated within the larger program of psychosocial care. Findings suggest integration of music therapy services can help ensure personalized, comprehensive care and efficient use of often-limited psychosocial care resources. Discussion: Nurses, as members of the psychosocial and medical teams are uniquely positioned to identify patient and family care needs and refer patients for services. Understanding how music therapy services address PSS and most importantly, the needs of patients and families, will optimize their care.

Abstract:
This article provides a critical overview of musical identities as a research topic. A broad distinction between identities in music (IIM) and music in identities (MII) highlights how musical engagement is central to identity construction. These concepts are integrated with recent advances in psychological theory derived from enactive cognition (4E cognition) to propose a new framework for understanding musical identities, Musical Identities in Action (MIIA). This framework foregrounds musical identities as dynamic (constantly evolving, dialogical, and actively performed), embodied (shaped by how music is physically expressed and experienced), and situated (emergent from interaction with social contexts, technologies, and culture). Musical identities are presented as fluid and constructed through embodied and situated action. Interdisciplinary research on music and adolescence is utilized to show how the MIIA framework can be applied to specific contexts and how musical identities interact with other aspects of life. Examples of the embodied nature of musical identities are provided from early interactions to professional performance and everyday informal engagement. Technology is highlighted as one topical and situated context, using digital playlists and a recent online improvisation project as examples. Implications of the MIIA framework for education and health are also presented, proposing that a key goal of music education is the development of positive musical identities. Recent advances in humanities research such as post-qualitative inquiry (PQI) and metamodern philosophical theory are proposed as useful multidisciplinary approaches for developing new knowledge related to musical identities.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the effectiveness of the international volunteer programme’s dance4life (D4L) in Russia. The programme aims to address taboos, stigma, discrimination, HIV/AIDS prevention and the promotion of sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and a healthy lifestyle among adolescents. The programme uses an “edutainment” model that involves young people through music, dance and youth icons. Educated volunteers provide schoolchildren with comprehensive information on SRHR and demonstrate the practical application of life and leadership skills. The programme ends with a celebration event. Design/methodology/approach – Qualitative and quantitative methods were used. Only those who got as far as stage three of the process, 20 per cent of those who begun, were sampled. The qualitative research involved youth aged 13-19 (20 interviews, six focus groups), teachers (eight interviews), volunteer team members (eight interviews) and programme managers in four project regions and in Moscow (five interviews). In the quantitative research 105 respondents took part, of whom 48 per cent were 13-16 years old, 44 per cent were 17-19 years old and 8 per cent were 20-23 years old. Both boys and girls were included in the sample. Findings – Young people’s participation in D4L had a significant positive impact on perceptions of SRHR and knowledge levels, changed some misconceptions about HIV/AIDS and helped develop social and healthy lifestyle skills. The programme contributed to the growth of voluntary activity and the organizational skills of participants. Teachers’ perceptions of SRHR changed positively after their participation in the programme. Research limitations/implications – The fact that the sample is only those who completed all stages of the programme, 20 per cent of the overall population who began it, is clearly a source of bias. The size of the quantitative research sample (n=105) does not allow disaggregation of data by region nor by gender: this limitation was minimized by choosing four regions with relatively comparable socio-economic status, and through quota sampling in equal proportions for boys and girls. This is the first time such a study has been conducted, so it is not possible to draw conclusions about the long-term impact of the programme. Practical implications – The short implementation period allows for the dissemination of information and training to large numbers despite limited funding. Social implications – The D4L approach provides information on SRHR to youth, which arouses their interest, and is perceived as relevant and important. Programme participants use this information themselves and share it with their friends, parents and other adults. Originality/value – The D4L programme is unique in Russia: there is no regular sexual education in Russian schools. School programmes are rarely evaluated with the methods used in this study.

Abstract:
Radio and memory form a radical coupling, stitching together musical cultures with personal psychologies. I pursue such relations in Phantom Music by focusing on, and unpacking a project I developed for exhibition in 2005. The project, Phantom Radio, is based on forming a library of radio memory. Collecting stories from 105 individuals from around the world, the library consists of written statements and CDs of all the songs mentioned. Through the project, questions of broadcast technology, and the work of memory, are brought forward. To pursue such questions, the following article maps out the territory explored in the project. Reflecting on various threads, from habits of listening to the effects of music on individual lives, leads to a tracing out of the ‘phantasmic’ and the ‘social’ aspects of radio. And further, how music supplies a form of shared ground to the individual instances of unexpected experiences.

Abstract:
Science education often fails to address the actual range of adolescents' interests. One such interest is music. Research shows that young people devote large amounts of time and money to music. By tapping into students' interest in music, affective outcomes can be achieved in the biology classroom. This article describes a project-based learning activity that studies the influence of music on seed germination. Part of the student project is to conduct a literature search on the influence of music on plants, and possibly also on people (its biological, psychological, and social effects). The project is contextualized in the indigenous practice of making music while planting crops. There is a growing body of literature suggesting that music can improve crop yields. Students are required to follow the key features of project-based learning to plan and execute an inquiry to determine the influence of music on seed germination. Students undertaking a literature study will find research showing that music affects the viscosity of the plasmalemma and the availability of intercellular Ca2+, which, in turn, influences the activity of membrane-based enzymes. This can lead to larger amounts of water, nutrients, and growth regulators entering the plant cell. The article also reflects on data obtained from high school biology students as they engage in the learning activity.

Abstract:
This study aimed to determine the significance of music and music education to middle and high school adolescents, including those enrolled and not enrolled in school music programs. Of particular interest were their expressed meanings of music both in and out of school, with attention to adolescent views on the role of music in identity formation, the musical and nonmusical benefits for adolescents of their engagement with music, the curricular content of secondary school music programs, and the qualities of music teachers in facilitating music-learning experiences in middle and high school classes. An examination of essays, statements, and reflections in response to a national essay content was undertaken using an inductive approach to analyze content through the triangulation of interpretations by the investigators. Five principal themes were identified within the expressed meanings of music by adolescents: (a) identity formation in and through music, (b) emotional benefits, (c) music's life benefits, including character-building and life skills, (d) social benefits, and (e) positive and negative impressions of school music programs and their teachers. Overwhelming support was expressed for music as a necessary component of adolescent life, with support for and comments to probe concerning the work of music educators in secondary school programs.

Abstract:
This article describes how a group of music therapists and a music sociologist working on the AHRC-funded research project Care for Music responded to the situation they found themselves during the 2020‐21 COVID pandemic, both in terms of their practice and the ongoing research project they shared. In particular, the article outlines how the challenging situation has produced interesting new practical, methodological and theoretical perspectives ‐ functioning as a helpful ‘accidental experiment’. The article presents three vignettes of music therapists coping with the initial pandemic situation and how they adapted music therapy practice, followed by preliminary reflections on emerging themes from the ‘accidental experiment’ in relation to the central concern of the AHRC Care for Music research project: the co-creation of mutual ‘scenes of care’ through music within later life and end of life settings.

Abstract:
Nowadays, the close relationship between adolescents and music is a fact reinforced by new technology. Music, in general, reflects values and attitudes in society and serves different purposes in life, however the crisis of values is a constant threat that may be eased by using music as a tool to engage with young people and reinforced ethical values. This work aimed at assessing perceptions of explicit content in pop music by 16-year-old adolescents by means of a questionnaire with a series of short-open questions. The results confirmed a relaxed attitude towards current social values but yet a robust self-claimed personality in young people.

Abstract:
The development of classical music traditions in Russian culture testifies to its enormous potential and significance in the spiritual and moral development of the younger generation. However, in the modern information society, the potential of classical music in educating the personality of adolescents, in establishing the spiritual foundations of domestic society, culture and the state is not appreciated. Underestimating the role of classical music in the life of a modern teenager will contribute to the manifestation of negative trends in society and affect the life of the younger generation. Therefore, in modern society, active attempts are made to revive the interest of children and youth in classical music. To date, a methodology for forming the cognitive interest of adolescents in classical music in the conditions of extra-time activity, which occupies most of the life of modern schoolchildren, has not been developed. In this work, an attempt is made to consider the problem of developing the cognitive interest of adolescents in classical music from the point of view of modern pedagogical technologies.

Abstract:
We report findings of a follow-up on rock music preferences and of views of themes advocating homicide, suicide, and satanic practices (HSSR). A total of 120 adolescent offenders (ages 13–18 years), in two youth detention centers, were administered a questionnaire of Likert-type, categorical, and open-ended questions. Ninety-one students were fans of rock music. Of those, approximately 54 percent were HSSR fans. HSSR fans were more likely to be white and school dropouts, to spend more time listening to music, to think it is harmless for young children to listen to HSSR music, and to assume that HSSR lyrics do not lead to destructive acts. Contrary to previous findings, gender and parents' marital status did not predict whether a juvenile offender was an HSSR fan: both males and females, from intact and broken homes, were fans. Findings suggest a strong relationship between a preference for rock music with destructive themes and antisocial or destructive behavior.

Abstract:
How parents and adolescents perceive each other’s life values is a key to understanding successful value transmission. In the value socializations literature, it has been proposed that parents’ values become internalized when children correctly perceive their parents’ values and decide to adopt them as their own. In the current study, we propose that interpersonal value perception of broader life values is characterized by a perceptual bias—projection—which propels adolescents to perceive their parents’ values to be similar to their own, and propels parents to perceive their adolescents’ values to be similar to theirs. This cross-sectional study examined 518 dyads of adolescents and their parents. Adolescents rated how important different humanistic, environmental, and achievement values were to them, and how important these values were to their parents. Parents similarly rated how important these values were to them and to their adolescents. Using structural equation modeling, an interpersonal value perception model was constructed that estimated how much parents and adolescents projected their own values when perceiving each other’s values. The results supported the idea that both parents and adolescents substantially project their own values when perceiving the others’ values, and that they perceive the others’ values with low accuracy. We discuss our findings in light of value socialization in both research and practice.

Abstract:
Humans tend to connect the music they hear, to the emotion they are feeling. The song playlists though are, at periods too large to sort out automatically. It would be accommodating if the music player was “smart enough” to sort out the music based on the current state of emotion the individual is feeling. The main idea of this project is to automatically play songs based upon the emotions of the adherent. Based on the emotion, the music will be played from the predefined playlist. It aims to deliver user-preferred music with emotional attentiveness. In the existing system user want to manually select the songs, randomly played songs may not accede to the feel of the adherent, user has to classify the songs into various emotions and for playing the songs user has to manually choose a particular emotion. These difficulties can be avoided by using our project. This is a novel way that helps the handler to automatically play songs based on the emotions of the handler. It recognizes the facial emotions of the adherent and plays the songs based on their emotion. The emotions are recognized using a machine learning method Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. The human twist is an important organ of an individual's body and it especially plays an important role in the heritage of an individual's behaviours and emotional appearance.

Abstract:
Background: Childhood obesity is one of the greatest public health concerns facing advanced societies, Spain being one of the countries with the highest incidence. In this sense, the Region of Murcia has been pointed out as the Spanish autonomous community with the highest prevalence of excess weight among young people. More specifically, the Valle de Ricote has shown an even greater proportion of excess weight among young people. Several sociodemographic, environmental, lifestyle, health-related, cognitive, and psychological factors are related to excess weight. Based on the lack of information, this research project will try to provide relevant information to design intervention programs, as well as to implement effective public policies to try and reverse this alarming situation. Therefore, this research project aims (1) to obtain cross-sectional and longitudinal data on the excess weight and their potential sociodemographic, environmental, lifestyle, health-related, cognitive, and psychological factors associated among adolescents from the Valle de Ricote (Region of Murcia, Spain) (aged 12–17 years), and (2) to examine the association between excess weight and their potential sociodemographic, environmental, lifestyle, health-related, cognitive, and psychological factors associated among this population. Methods: A cross-sectional study and follow-up study will be performed. This research project will involve adolescents using a simple random sampling technique. A total of three secondary schools from the Valle de Ricote (Region of Murcia, Spain) will be included in this project. The minimum sample size will be 1138, establishing a 95% confidence interval, a 40% prevalence of excess weight, a 3% margin of error, and a non-response rate of 10%. Primary outcome measures will be: (1) anthropometric measurements, (2) sociodemographic factors, (3) environmental factors, (4) lifestyle factors, (5) health-related factors, (6) cognitive factors, and (7) psychological factors. Conclusion: This research project will aim to determine the prevalence of excess weight and interrelate their potential sociodemographic, environmental, lifestyle, health-related, cognitive, and psychological factors associated. The obtained results will help to manage and propose possible multidisciplinary interventions and strategies in order to prevent and reduce the excess weight in adolescents from the Valle de Ricote. Furthermore, orientations will be given to transfer the obtained results to the public sector to evaluate or change the adopted policies.

Abstract:
Many music production programmes in higher education institutions are heavily invested in popular music genres and production values in contrast to the diversity of musics often included in other music programmes and encountered in everyday life. Commenting on his 2017 album, Ed Sheeran highlights the potential for incorporating Irish traditional music into popular music. Over the past number of years, creative practice research projects at Dundalk Institute of Technology have provided opportunities for music production students to engage in the recording and production of Irish traditional music, broadening their experience beyond popular music genres and facilitating time for them to work collaboratively with Irish traditional musicians. Thus, an authentic and action-oriented mode of engagement in higher education is utilized to enhance the learning experience continuously aware of changes and attitudes in the music industry. This article focuses on three Summer Undergraduate Research Projects that provided students with the opportunity to research and record Irish traditional music during the summer months. The project not only provided the students with credible industry-like experience, it also provided the staff involved with an insight into the potential of collaborative project work to address multiple learning aims and objectives. In this article, a critical review of the projects is informed by feedback from the students involved, which can inform future development and structures of existing programmes in music production education.

Abstract:
In a survey of rock music preferences and views on themes about homicide, satanism, and suicide (HSS), 694 middle and high school students were administered a questionnaire of structured and open-ended questions. Nine percent of the middle school students, 17 percent of the rural and 24 percent of the urban high school students were HSS rock fans. Three-fourths of these fans were males and nearly all were white. HSS fans more often claimed to know all the lyrics of their favorite songs than the non-HSS rock fans. HSS fans more often said young children should be permitted to listen to rock music with destructive themes and fewer of them believed that adolscents might commit murder or suicide after having listened to such songs. A large proportion of the students share the concern of adult citizens and professional groups about destructive lyrics in rock music and their effects.

Abstract:
<p>Serious leisure (SL) is defined as an intensive, long-term free-time activity which has deep meaning for an individual and generates its own rewards without external incentives. SL has been studied intensively, yet studies on the mutual effects of an individual’s work and SL are scanty, especially when music is either the work or the SL. Our research addressed the connection between work and SL with both musicians and non-musicians. The data consisted of nine interviews. Four of the participants were professional musicians with various SLs (acting, woodwork, handicrafts, and urban culture). The other five (an architect, a librarian, two directors, and a project manager), conversely, had music as their SL. Qualitative content analysis of the data was conducted, and we analysed the data in relation to psychological recovery experiences (psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery and control), using the concepts of segmentation, spillover and compensation. The data were classified into three thematic clusters 1) Participants’ manner of talking about SL, 2) Aspects of SL, and 3) SL and work with further subdivisions into themes and categories. Our data did not show any difference between comments from the two participant groups. SL had positive effects on subjective well-being, notions of identity, and working abilities. It stimulated psychological recovery and gave meaning and content to the participants’ lives. We suggest that in today’s busy work life, employers should take advantage of SL and its positive effects.</p><p> </p>

The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the technology of creating an art project as a strategic tool that can provide an effective process of implementing the activities of the manager of the socio-cultural sphere. Methodology of the study is the principles of dialectics, systemic, socio-cultural, and historical approaches, fundamental provisions of the theory of culture. The general scientific and interdisciplinary research methods are used: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparison. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is to identify the characteristic features of urban music culture that distinguish it from other manifestations of musical culture; providing characteristics of the cultural space of the city as an environment for the realization of urban musical culture; determining the place of the script approach in the life of the representatives of urban music culture. Conclusion. Urban music culture is a complex and multi-vector phenomenon that characterizes the realization of music culture in the form of creating, performing, and listening to music in an urban environment. It demonstrates the attitude of members of the urban community to music and its role in the life and evolution of the urban social and cultural environment demonstrates a public interest in its manifestations through a desire to listen to music, to make music, or to produce works that are well-received by the urban society. The realization of the city's musical culture, its embodiment occurs by performing its basic functions, among which the most important are: axiological, cognitive, educational, communicative, semiotic, relaxation

Abstract:
Background: Cancer is very disruptive in adolescence and hospitalizations interfere with this development stage in becoming independent, developing social relationships, and making plans for the future. A major challenge in the care of adolescents with cancer is being able to enhance their quality of life. The aim of this project is to increase our understanding of how adventure therapy influenced quality of life for adolescents with cancer. Methods: Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital, in collaboration with the Tender to Nave Italia Foundation (TTNI), has been conducting a unique project, located on a beautiful brigantine of the Italian Navy. Adventure therapy is a form of experiential therapy that consists of various types of adventure, in particular outdoor and sailing activities. Ninety teenagers have been the protagonists of this project to date and filled out two questionnaires about quality of life and self-esteem, before and after the sailing experience. Results: The adventure provides the opportunity for the participants to build interpersonal relationships and develop life skills that they can benefit from in the future experiences. All participants report a significant improvement in their quality of life and self-esteem at the end of this experience. Conclusion: This collaborative adventure project is a great way to learn and practice new behaviors, improve interpersonal skills, heal painful emotions, overcome personal obstacles and challenges, and help the teenagers to resume their developmental path after an onco-hematological diagnosis.

AbstractThere is a growing body of literature that investigates the value of music therapy for people with emotional and behavioural disorders such as attention deficit disorder. These studies often focus on overt behavioural change as the indication of successful outcomes. The instrumental case study reported here challenges this focus and provides a description of music therapy for one young man that emphasises the importance of power in his experience. A grounded theory analysis of this single case reveals that both individual and small-group music therapy provided important opportunities for the young man to express himself and to control what he and others did. This example is intended to stimulate the contemplation of different understandings of the potential role for music therapy, with an emphasis on emotional needs and quality of life as the primary focus.

Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the effect of music therapy on chronic pain, quality of life, and quality of sleep in adolescent patients after transthoracic occlusion of ventricular septal defects. Methods: Patients were divided into 2 groups based on whether they received music therapy: a control group and a music group. The music group received 30 minutes of music therapy every day for 6 months after surgery. Patients in the control group received standard treatment and had 30 minutes of quiet time every day for 6 months after surgery. The short-form McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ), the SF-36 scale and the Karolinska Sleep Questionnaire (KSQ) was used as the evaluation tool for chronic pain, quality of life, and quality of sleep, respectively. Results: In terms of the degree of postoperative chronic pain, the Pain Rating Index (PRI) emotion item score in the SF-MPQ evaluation of the music group was significantly lower than that of the control group (1.6 ± 1.1 versus 2.2 ± 0.9). The role emotional (RE) scores of the SF-36 in the music group were significantly higher than that in the control group (77.35 ± 18.55 versus 42.66 ± 22.63). KSQ scores were significantly higher in the music group than in the control group for sleep status (4.1 ± 1.0 versus 3.3 ± 0.9), falling asleep (3.9 ± 1.1 versus 3.1 ± 1.0), and not feeling refreshed by sleep (3.6 ± 1.3 versus 2.7 ± 0.9) (P < .05). Conclusion: This study preliminarily showed that music therapy could effectively reduce patients’ chronic pain and improve quality of life and sleep after surgery. These results suggest that music therapy may be an essential therapy worth considering in managing patients’ postoperative recovery after cardiovascular surgery.

IntroductionInsomnia is a common sleep disorder for patients with depression. This has a major impact on the quality of life for the individual. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) will address the use of music as a non-pharmacological treatment to reduce insomnia in depression.Objectives and methodThe aim is to investigate, whether music listening is effective to:– improve sleep quality;– reduce symptoms of depression;– improve quality of life;– limit or replace medication.A RCT will address the use of music as a treatment modality in depression using an explanatory mixed methods design. In the first phase of the study, patient data is collected from 3D accelerometer, log files from a new app for iPad called ‘the music star’ and questionnaires (MDI, HAM, PSQI and WHO-QOL). ‘The music star’ is an app for iPad used to select music from special designed playlists developed by Danish music therapists in psychiatry. An exploratory follow-up (semi-structured interviews) aims to explain quantitative results from accelerometer and ‘the music star’ log files. Participants enrolled are registered at the clinic for unipolar and bipolar affective disorders at Aalborg University Hospital – Psychiatry. The participants test whether a sound pillow and special designed playlists is effective to reduce insomnia in depression in a 4 week period.Results and conclusionsA feasibility study has been conducted on 11 participants showing positive results in terms of participation and sleep quality.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:
В статье раскрыты пути реализации национального проекта № 1 «Демография» (паспорт был утвержден 24 декабря 2018 года), основными целями которого являются увеличение ожидаемой продолжительности здоровой жизни до 67 лет, а также доли граждан, ведущих здоровый образ жизни. Представлена попытка анализа текущего состояния здоровья учащейся молодежи с целью дальнейшей выработки конструктивных решений по реализации данного проекта. Обращено внимание на актуальные проблемы современного общества — ежегодный рост заболеваемости школьников, неудовлетворительную деятельность школьной медицины, низкий уровень физической подготовленности выпускников школ, что приводит к ухудшению здоровья молодежи в целом, снижению рождаемости в России и является реальной угрозой национальной безопасности страны. Описаны направления работы, необходимые, по мнению авторов, для оптимизации и улучшения системы школьного физического воспитания детей и подростков, а также предполагающие повышение ответственности системы образования за здоровье обучающихся в соответствии с Федеральным законом «Об образовании в Российской Федерации». Сегодня становится необходимым усиление внимания к вопросам школьной медицины в совокупности с оптимизацией двигательного режима школьников. Важно также проводить занятия физической культурой в учебной и внеучебной форме и развивать общую выносливость, лежащую в основе оптимального функционирования главных физиологических систем организма; сохранять и укреплять здоровье школьников в процессе обучения в школе основам здорового образа жизни, включающего здоровое питание и отказ от вредных привычек; создавать ведомственную медицинскую службу в системе образования с целью формирования полноценной школьной медицины. The article discusses some ways of implementing the Demography Project (Federal project no. 1 of December 24, 2018) whose main aims are the increase of healthy life expectancy to 67 years and the enlargement of the number of citizens leading a healthy life style. The article makes an attempt to analyze learners’ health to further elaborate some efficient solutions aimed at the implementation of the project. The article highlights some urgent problems ailing modern society, such as annual increase of morbidity rates among children, unsatisfactory quality of school medicine, the low level of school leavers’ physical fitness. All this leads to a continuous decline in schoolchildren’s health, provokes a decrease of birth rates, and presents a serious threat to national security. The article focuses on what can be done to optimize and improve the system of physical education in schools, to ensure that in accordance with the federal law On Education in the Russian Federation, schools should be held responsible for securing children’s and adolescents’ health and physical fitness. Nowadays, it is obvious that the issues of school medicine as well as the optimization of schoolchildren’s motor activities should be given proper attention, It is essential that there should be curriculum and extra-curriculum physical activities aimed at improving children’s stamina and cardio endurance, which is an essential prerequisite for the maintenance of good health. It is essential that school health services should fully contribute to the goals of both the system of education and healthcare system. It is essential that schools should do everything possible to improve children’s and adolescents’ health, to ensure that children and adolescents lead a healthy lifestyle, eat healthy food, have no bad habits.

Abstract:
A well-known symptom for patients with depression and bipolar diagnosis is poor quality of sleep. This has a major impact on the quality of life for the individual. Most recently, an article in the Cochrane Review, Music for insomnia in adults, concludes that music may be effective for improving sleep quality in adults with insomnia symptoms [1].A Research Project at Aalborg University Hospital, Psychiatry, in Denmark has been initiated involving psychiatrists and nurses from an outpatient unit and researchers and music therapists from the Music Therapy Research Clinic at the hospital in an innovative collaboration. A pilot project is started, where patients with depression are given a sound pillow with special designed playlists, offering selected calm music for the patients to use at home for a period of 30 days. The listening periods are registered by the patients. Questionnaires are filled out before and after the listening period. A short semi-structured interview is taking place four times throughout the listening period and as a follow-up, when patients come in for control.The aim is to investigate, whether music listening is helpful to improve sleep quality and quality of life, and to investigate if music listening can limit or replace medication.

Abstract:
Abstract As the number of people with dementia is projected to rise to 13.8 million by 2050, there is a growing need to develop interventions that prevent or slow down disease progression in at-risk individuals. Older adults are particularly vulnerable, given that increasing age is the strongest predictor of dementia. Music interventions are promising, non-pharmaceutical treatment options for slowing down cognitive decline and enhancing psychological health. However, more music-related clinical trials are needed to evaluate treatment efficacy and to identify biobehavioral mechanisms of change. Project Chroma is a Stage 1 semi-randomized clinical trial, developed to assess the effects of a novel, music creativity curriculum on cognitive, socio-emotional, neurobiological, and immunological outcomes. In this study of 58 older adults with or without MCI, we demonstrate that Project Chroma has good feasibility and acceptability: participation, retention and satisfaction rates were comparable to other similarly designed clinical trials. Preliminary analyses revealed that participants in the music condition, relative to those in the control condition, showed marked improvements in cognitive functioning. Slight changes in socioemotional well-being were observed, which may be attributed to a minimally distressed sample. This study contributes to a growing literature substantiating music interventions as effective options for curtailing cognitive decline. Forthcoming work will examine the effects of music creativity on neural and immune outcomes.

Abstract:
This article traces transnational “life” trajectories of two rare Jewish religious music records from 1948 Communist Czechoslovakia and of their main performer Josef Weiss (ca. 1912, Veľké Kapušany – 1985 Netanya), who was a hazzan (cantor) in synagogues in Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Jerusalem, Ramat Gan, Manchester, and New York, but has remained mostly unknown to music history. It shows how these two 78-rpm records stand at the core of Weiss’s grandson’s family / music / memory project, which has revealed and pre­pared to reissue 52 audio recordings to preserve his grandfather’s legacy. While following these and other digitized and technologically modified recordings of Weiss on their recent path between the Czech Republic, Israel, Hungary, and the US, the article sheds light on how this case fits into the broader framework of the social life of things and the context of musical remembrance. Already put to use during the life-cycle rituals of Weiss’s children and grandchildren, as well as in a museum exhibition – this family project constructs a fragment of a Jewish sonic past for the present needs of its actors, while being entangled with the current practice of Jewish memory institutions, as well as with the activities of private record collectors and of one ethnomusicologist (myself).

Full text
Abstract:
Background: In pediatric health care, non-pharmacological interventions such as music therapy have promising potential to complement traditional medical treatment options in order to facilitate recovery and well-being. Music therapy and other music-based interventions are increasingly applied in the clinical treatment of children and adolescents in many countries world-wide. The purpose of this overview is to examine the evidence regarding the effectiveness of music therapy and other music-based interventions as applied in pediatric health care. Methods: Surveying recent literature and summarizing findings from systematic reviews, this overview covers selected fields of application in pediatric health care (autism spectrum disorder; disability; epilepsy; mental health; neonatal care; neurorehabilitation; pain, anxiety and stress in medical procedures; pediatric oncology and palliative care) and discusses the effectiveness of music interventions in these areas. Results: Findings show that there is a growing body of evidence regarding the beneficial effects of music therapy, music medicine, and other music-based interventions for children and adolescents, although more rigorous research is still needed. The highest quality of evidence for the positive effects of music therapy is available in the fields of autism spectrum disorder and neonatal care. Conclusions: Music therapy can be considered a safe and generally well-accepted intervention in pediatric health care to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. As an individualized intervention that is typically provided in a person-centered way, music therapy is usually easy to implement into clinical practices. However, it is important to note that to exploit the potential of music therapy in an optimal way, specialized academic and clinical training and careful selection of intervention techniques to fit the needs of the client are essential.

Abstract:
This research aimed to examine the association between life satisfaction and family climate indicators in 12-year-old European adolescents. Cross-sectional data from the second wave of the Children’s Worlds project—an international survey of children’s lives and well-being—were examined. Specifically, data from participating European countries were analyzed: i.e., Estonia, Spain, Germany, England, Romania, Norway, Poland, and Malta. This sample of 9281 adolescents (50.3% girls) filled in self-report measures of life satisfaction and some indicators of family climate. Descriptive statistics and regression analyses were performed by country. Furthermore, a confirmatory model was tested to examine the association between family climate and life satisfaction. The results pointed out that having a good time together with family and being treated fairly by parents/carers were the indicators with the greatest positive effects on life satisfaction. In general, a more positive family climate was associated with higher life satisfaction among 12-year-old adolescents in the participating eight European countries.

Abstract:
Schubert finished only the first two movements of his B-Minor Symphony (D. 759), and they remained unseen and unheard for the last six years of his life, indeed until 1865. The best available evidence indicates that he sent his only score to the Music Society in Graz sometime after September 1823, and that from that point on, at the latest, he had given up any plans to complete the two remaining movements. But why? At least part of the answer is to be found in several consistent patterns Schubert followed in the conduct of his career. He did not return to unfinished works after he had laid them aside for a period of several months; the only exception to this pattern is the Mass in Ab. And not until early 1824 did Schubert begin to seek publication or public performance for newly composed works in the large multi-movement instrumental genres--in Beethoven's genres. Finally, in October 1822, the date on the score of the B-Minor Symphony, Schubert could have had no reasonable expectation of a full performance of a four-movement symphony, in Vienna or anywhere else, by an orchestra of adequate quality. His subsequent hopes and exertions for a performance of a symphony, for his "Great" C-Major Symphony, proved illusory and unavailing, even after he had become much better established.
