Full textAbstract:
Introduction Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) are bioelectric responses that occur from acoustic stimulations, and they assess the functionality of the central auditory system. Objective The objective of the present study was to analyze the effect of musical stimulation on CAEPs. Methods The sample consisted of 42 healthy female subjects, aged between 18 and 24 years, divided into two groups – G1: without musical stimulation prior to the CAEP examination; and G2: with stimulation prior to the examination. In both groups, as a pre-collection procedure, the complete basic audiological evaluation was performed. For the musical stimulation performed in G2, we used an MP4 player programmed to play Pachelbel's “Canon in D Major” for five minutes prior to the CAEP examination. To analyze the effect on the groups, the ear side and the ide–group interaction , a mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) of repeated measures was performed. Box M test and Mauchly sphericity test were also performed. Results Test differences were considered statistically significant when the p-value was < 0.05 (5%). Thus, it was possible to observe that there was a statistically significant difference of the P2 component characterized by the decrease in the amplitude of response in the left ear in G2 when comparing the responses of CAEP with and without prior musical stimulation. Conclusion The result of the present study enabled us to conclude that there was a change in the response of CAEPs with musical stimulation.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the improvement in parents’ moods when attending group music lessons targeting their children aged 1–3 years. A questionnaire survey of parents’ moods was conducted under three conditions: immediately before and after the lesson, and on a non-lesson day. Results suggested that group music lessons for children enhanced parents’ positive mood and reduced anxiety. Thus, even peripheral participation in children’s group music lessons can be beneficial for parents. In addition, such mood improvements were more significant in the parents whose everyday state anxiety was high than in parents whose state anxiety was low. Since only few parents answered that their motivation in taking the lesson was to benefit themselves, the results of the study suggest side effects of children’s group music lessons for parents. These imply the potential benefits of musical activities for non-primary targeted participants who are not clearly aware of the positive musical effects for themselves.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Percutaneous nephrostomy tube replacement (PNTR) is a significant and frequently performed outpatient urological procedure. Patients undergoing this procedure often experience pain and anxiety. Various non-pharmacological methods are currently utilized to alleviate pain and anxiety. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of music on pain and anxiety during PNTR . Materials and Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted in patients undergoing PNTR at Loei Hospital from May 1, 2023, to September 30, 2023. A total of 104 patients were randomly assigned to two groups: group 1, where patients did not listen to music during the procedure, and group 2, where patients listened to their preferred choice of music. Demographic data, vital signs, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain levels, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety (STAI-SA), and willingness to repeat procedures were compared. Results: The VAS pain scores in the music group were significantly lower than in the non-music group during and after PNTR (2.5 vs 5, p < 0.005 and 0 vs 3, p < 0.001, respectively). Moreover, the STAI-SA levels in the music group were significantly lower post-procedure (32.98±5.61 vs 39.98±6.18, p < 0.001), and the willingness to repeat the procedure was significantly higher (41 vs 22, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that listening to a preferred choice of music during PNTR has the potential to reduce pain, and anxiety, and increase the willingness of patients to repeat procedure. The intervention of music serves as a cost-effective, safe, and side effect-free non-pharmacological approach to facilitate patient outcome in PNTR.

The selection of material that is contextual and based on student culture is essential for improving the quality of learning mathematics. This study aims to examine, explore, and explore Calung Banyumasan music as a source of learning mathematics that is contextual and easy to understand. This research is qualitative with an ethnographic approach because it examines a particular cultural system (Banyumasan art) from an ethnomathematics perspective. The subjects in this study were three humanists, practitioners, and mathematicians related to Calung Banyumasan musical arts, and the research object was Calung Banyumasan instruments. Data collection methods use in-depth interviews, observation, documentation, and field notes. The data analysis method was carried out descriptively based on the results of the meaning and translation of the phenomena found based on the results of the informant's conception, the results of observations combined with the researcher's language after an in-depth understanding was carried out. Triangulation and Forum Group, Discussion was used to test the data's validity and the effects of data analysis. The research results show that Calung Banyumasan music art has mathematical wealth, especially in Geometry (parallelism, congruence, plane shapes, and curved side shapes) and Algebra (compound functions, arithmetic sequences, series, and inverse comparisons of values). Besides that, Calung Banyumasan music also has a lot of valuable philosophical content for human life.

Abstract Introduction Patients undergoing invasive procedures may have abnormal emotional reactivity that can lead to impaired vital signs. Music has been shown to modify physiological responses, but there is insufficient data in the literature to demonstrate the relationship between the improvement in vital signs and listening to music during interventional procedures. The aim of this study is to investigate how listening to music modifies vital signs in patients undergoing coronary angiography. Methods Patients admitted to the Campus Bio–Medico University Hospital of Rome for diagnostic coronary angiography were included in the study. During the procedures, patients listened to music selected by an experienced music therapist. The songs belonged to 6 musical genres and were also evaluated for agogic, tempo, and tonality. 7 phases were defined for the collection of vital signs (from the arrival in the waiting room to the stay in the "recovery room"). The results were compared with a homogeneous group of patients undergoing the same procedures. Results During phase 3 (insertion of the introducer), the mean systolic blood pressure was lower in the music therapy group than in the control group (139.9+–23.9 vs 145+–25.5 mmHg; p=0.529). During phase 2 (entering the room), mean oxygen saturation was higher in the music therapy group than in the control group (96 1.5% vs 95.4 1.8%; p=0.212). In all phases, the mean heart rate was lower in the music therapy group than in the control group (70.7+–10.8 vs 75+–18.1 bpm; p=0.33). The lowest mean systolic blood pressure and heart rate were recorded while listening to the Adagio and with 2/4 tempo tracks (mean systolic blood pressure 143,3+–26,9 mmHg; mean heart rate 69,7+–9,3 bpm). Conclusions This study was the first one to focus on changes in vital signs during music therapy in patients undergoing interventional cardiology procedures. Patients receiving music therapy showed a reduction in heart rate in all phases, a reduction in systolic blood pressure in phase 3, and an improvement in oxygen saturation in phase 2 compared with the control group. This approach may reduce the need for drug sedation and its side effects. The results are preliminary and require further analysis with a larger sample size.

Full textAbstract:
Humans show a tendency to represent pitch in a spatial format. A classical finding supporting this spatial representation is the Spatial–Musical Association of Response Codes (SMARC) effect, reflecting faster responses to low tones when pressing a left/bottom-side key and to high tones when pressing a right/top-side key. Despite available evidence suggesting that the horizontal and vertical SMARC effect may be differently modulated by instrumental expertise and musical timbre, no study has so far directly explored this hypothesis in a unified framework. Here, we investigated this possibility by comparing the performance of professional pianists, professional clarinettists and non-musicians in an implicit timbre judgement task, in both horizontal and vertical response settings. Results showed that instrumental expertise significantly modulates the SMARC effect: whereas in the vertical plane a comparable SMARC effect was observed in all groups, in the horizontal plane the SMARC effect was significantly modulated by the specific instrumental expertise, with pianists showing a stronger pitch–space association compared to clarinettists and non-musicians. Moreover, the influence of pitch along the horizontal dimension was stronger in those pianists who started the instrumental training at a younger age. Results also showed an influence of musical timbre in driving the horizontal, but not the vertical, SMARC effect, with only piano notes inducing a pitch–space association. Taken together, these findings suggest that sensorimotor experience due to instrumental training and musical timbre affect the mental representation of pitch on the horizontal space, whereas the one on the vertical space would be mainly independent from musical practice.

BACKGROUND: Anxiety occurs in cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy for the 1st time. Excessive anxiety which occurred in the pre-chemotherapy phase can contribute to the failure of chemotherapy programs. One of attempts to reduce anxiety is providing musical therapy Langgam Jawa. AIM: The purpose of the research is to identify the effect of musical therapy Langgam Jawa to pre-chemotherapy anxiety score. METHODS: The research used quasi-experimental design which involved pre-posttest with control group. The research was conducted at a hospital in Central Java. The population was cancer patients who undergoing chemotherapy for the 1st time and experienced pre-chemotherapy anxiety. Samples were selected with purposive sampling technique that met inclusion criteria. Subjects were 42 respondents consisting of 21 in each group obtained by simple random sampling technique. Health education and deep breathing exercise were provided to the control group, while the treatment group obtained health education, deep breathing exercise, and musical therapy Langgam Jawa. The measurement of pre-chemotherapy anxiety in the cancer patients was using State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. An independent t-test performed the analysis. RESULTS: The results showed that pre-chemotherapy anxiety score decreases significantly in those two groups (p-value: 0.001; α: 0.05). The treatment group showed a higher decrease of pre-chemotherapy anxiety than the control group. CONCLUSION: The finding highlights musical therapy Langgam Jawa is effective to reduce pre-chemotherapy anxiety of cancer patients. It is recommended to apply musical therapy Langgam Jawa for cancer patients who’re undergoing chemotherapy.

Full textAbstract:
Grégoire, Perruchet, and Poulin-Charronnat (2013) investigated a musical variant of the reversed Stroop effect. According to the authors, one big advantage of this variant is that the automaticity of note naming can be better controlled than in other Stroop variants as musicians are very practiced in note reading whereas non-musicians are not. In this comment we argue that at present the exact impact of automaticity in this Stroop variant remains somewhat unclear for at least three reasons, namely due to the type of information that is automatically retrieved when notes are encountered, due to the possible influence of object-based attention, and finally due to the fact that the exact influence of expertise on interference cannot be pinpointed with an extreme group design.

Full textAbstract:
The interaction between musicians has been one of the traditional strengths of music: it stretches to include an audience and ritual participants but has its origins in group activity, the interpersonal responses of one musician to another. This thesis examines the way that electronic media have transformed the interactions between musicians, particularly in the context of live performance. A central theme is the way in which mediatisation creates new splits within previously integrated musical situations and also merges differences usually defined by physical boundaries. The theories of Gregory Bateson on schizophrenia and Irving Goffman on Situationism are brought together to create a new understanding of the term "schizophonia". This rehabilitated concept is proposed as the key to a creative exploration of new situations and discontinuities which make up group performance in a mediatised environment. In practical terms the exploration of new musical situations is documented in the following projects: the material created for the group "Automatic Writing Circle" during its evolution over a period of six years (compositions, software, instruments), development of the Ouija Board and accompanying software, composition of the piece Lipsync and the earlier piece I slept by numbers for flute and live electronics.

As aging societies have been emerging around today’s world, the author of the present study designed and taught a group musical keyboard course for the elderly in Taiwan for a period of 12 weeks with a two-hour session each week in an attempt to help the elderly know better about aging, maintain their health, delay their aging process, and lead a healthier life with a higher living quality. Playing the keyboard instruments involves trainings not only on reading musical scores and identifying musical notes but also on the dexterous use of large and small muscles in arms, wrists and fingers, as well as hand-eye coordination. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a significant improvement in the cognitive function, emotion, and grip strength of the elderly after taking such a group musical keyboard course. Adopting a quasi-experimental design and a purposive sampling method, the study and the keyboard course recruited 26 senior citizens aged 55 or older in Hsinchu area in Taiwan as research participants, who were divided into the experimental group (average age: 67) and the control group (average age: 65), each of which composed of eight females and five males. Research instruments include: (1) Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE), (2) Brief Symptom Rating Scale (BSRS-5), (3) Digital hand-grip dynamometer, and (4) Course evaluation questionnaire and research interview designed by the author. With its course objective, course content, teaching method and assessment tools, the designed course trained these participants to play the keyboard with the help of multimedia audio-visual aids and while integrating activities of singing and body rhythm. Research results showed that the experimental group achieved significantly greater improvements than the control group in the post-test of MMSE (t =1.769, p =.0465 <.05), while categorical statistics also showed significant differences in memory between the two groups in the post-test of MMSE (t = 2.309 p =.030 <.05), indicating that this group keyboard course was able to enhance the cognitive function of the elderly. In the post-test of BSRS-5, both the experimental group and the control group failed to yield statistically significant results, an indication that this group keyboard course was not of effective help with the elderly’s emotion (t = -1.208, p =.239 >.05). In the aspect of grip strength, no significant difference was found in the post-test of grip strength in both the participants’ dominant hand (t = -1.88, p =.853 >.05) and their non-dominant hand (t = -.046, p =.964 >.05), which means this group keyboard course did not improve the elderly’s grip strength, whether in their dominant or non-dominant hand. Research suggestions include that future course design should survey students’ preferences in music genres in advance and offer more music styles for selection in order to increase the diversity in course content and materials, and that the measurement of participants’ physical improvement should more specifically encompass the strength levels of pressing, pinching and twisting of the fingers with both the pre-test and post-test in order to create a more accurate indicator of hand strength. This study may not only provide educators with useful information in designing musical activities for the elderly, but can also serve as an important reference for future research to explore how musical keyboard courses may benefit the lives of senior citizens.

AbstractThis chapter tells the story of how a Norwegian campaign with the noble cause of offering breast reconstruction to breast cancer treated patients, ended up reconstructing trouble both within and outside of this patient group. Some former cancer patients ended up having not only their breast but also their cancer reconstructed. Furthermore, the resource used by the reconstruction campaign also had as a side-effect a certain resurgence of orofacial cleft as a public health issue as the plastic surgeons were instructed to prioritise breast reconstruction.

AbstractThe European media landscape has changed dramatically in the last 30 years. Initially were the privatization and commercialization of the broadcasting sector that led to an increase of TV channels and at the same time the decline of the press. The advent of the Internet has also transformed the analogue media world giving its place to the digital one. In effect, the media in Europe has undergone a prolonged period of change, in the attempt to adapt to rapid technological advances, the side effects of globalization, and the developments associated with the process of Europeanization. On the other hand, there is no simple explanation for these complex processes of change. Neither can we say that there is a common universal trend, even a common model, across Europe. This chapter tries to shed light on the emerging patterns in media production since 1990, across European countries. Initially, based on hard data, the chapter describes the changes in the media systems of the EU countries. Then it is attempted to group the similarities, continuities, and discontinuities of the media systems.

AbstractNature-based health tourism is experiencing a resurgence. To determine its potential as a development opportunity for alpine destinations, it is necessary to analyse both the demand and supply side. Two surveys were conducted: a representative survey of the population of six countries of the Alpine Space exploring the perception of the Alps as a healthy destination in general and on the personal assessment of the health effect of natural resources in particular and an exploratory survey of tourism stakeholders in destination management, accommodation and gastronomy as well as (health) tourism services with a focus on the expected economic developments and the relevance of individual target groups for nature-based health tourism. The results demonstrate the need for a strategic development process which aligns perceptions with destination strategy and pre-existing offers. Two potential strategies are briefly outlined: 1. destinations with non-locally specific alpine natural health resources can develop broad tourism experiences for health conditions that occur across society with health a secondary aspect in marketing. 2. destinations featuring locally specific natural health resources with proven evidence can develop offers for a specific condition and are thus able to target a very specific group.

Full textAbstract:
The third chapter develops a sense of the commune by turning to Delany’s 1978 memoir of dwelling in a short-lived commune on Manhattan’s Lower East Side Heavenly Breakfast: An Essay on the Winter of Love. Heavenly Breakfast was a commune and band that came together in an apartment in Manhattan’s East Village during the winter of 1967. Heavenly Breakfast, the memoir, tells the story of the communal attempt years after its dissolution. Delany’s accountis a literary, theoretical, and practical document that approaches the commune as a kind of studying, playing, and sleeping together so as to practice how to live otherwise. The event’s dissipation is not a closure of potentiality but a scene of writing that keeps a no-longer present attempt still in play. Philbrick concludes the chapter by turning to Morgan Bassichis’s queer communal performance from 2017, The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions The Musical.

As the English people strode closer to armed conflict in the 1630s and early 1640s, the political disagreements between Charles I and his Parliament acquired a religious dimension. Not all Royalists were Anglicans, and not all Parliamentarians were Puritans, but it is undeniable that each group developed a unique political identity that included manner of dress and religious belief. As these identities solidified, each group used both their own identity and the opposing group’s identity to their advantage to inspire new supporters to join, strengthen in-group support, and inspire hatred against the opposition. Chapter one tells the story of how sacred and secular music was pressed into service by both sides of the English Civil War to serve a variety of propaganda purposes. Sacred music became a convenient political symbol for the religious differences between Anglicans/Royalists and Parliamentarians/Puritans that was easy to understand and thereby accessible to the largest possible audience of potential supporters. Likewise, secular music helped to ensure that the English populace was immersed in the political struggle even in their moments of leisure, and thereby at once more likely to maintain their fervent devotion to their side and their fervent hatred of the enemy.

This chapter describes Rollini's side activities while he had a contract with Bert Lown. He was in demand as a party in recording sessions for his musical ideas,his ability to contribute a thorough bass line together with swinging solos. His first date was with a small group directed by piano player Rube Bloom.Next was Leo Reisman's large dance band, which through the addition of ex-Duke Ellington trumpet player Bubber Miley, produced some outstanding recordings. Others included Red Nichols and Miff Mole as well as a row of singers: Jack Kaufman, Jack Miller, Lee Morse, Buddy Rogers, and Eddie Walters and Ethel Waters. There were follow-up dates with Rube Bloom, Annette Hanshaw, and Joe Venuti. His side jobs made Rollini a busy man.

Full textAbstract:
The years 1937–53 are generally thought of as stagnant ones for Soviet concert repertoire. This view, however, is predicated on a number of assumptions: first, that the drop in Western modernism in the schedules and its replacement by Soviet works had a stultifying effect on concert life; second, that the era of Socialist Realism was damagingly insular; and third, that cultural exchange ceased and Soviet composers lost touch with what was being composed in the West. This chapter challenges all those assumptions by analysing concert schedules of this period, presenting evidence of semi-formal/informal cultural exchange and considering the notion that Socialist Realism was not an isolated trend but part of a large-scale shift in European and American art whose importance has been side-lined in a still dominant cultural narrative of technical progress and complexity.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the study was to compare the results of using eye drops (a beta-blocker) with the results of selective laser trabeculoplasty in ocular hypertension. The retrospective study was conducted among treatment-naïve patients of two clinics in Yerevan, Armenia, during a period from 2019 to 2022. The eligible participants were divided into two groups as follows: group 1 (85 eyes) with patients who received SLT once and group 2 (52 eyes) where the patients have applied a single type of eye drops. The patients were allocated to the groups taking into account their preferences; this corresponded to random sampling. The IOP measures taken after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months showed reduction for more than 20% each time compared to baseline data. The mean IOP reduction was not significantly different in both treatment groups. SLT, as an effective and convenient technique allowing avoidance of the side effects of eye drops and an issue of low compliance, can be recommended as a method of the first choice in primary prevention of glaucoma.

Since HTML 5 and web audio were released, we have seen several initiatives to construct web based instruments and musical applications based on this technology. Web based instruments involved composers, musicians and the audience in musical performances based in the fact that a web instrument embedded in a web page can be accessed by everyone. Nonetheless, despite the fact that these applications are accessible by the network, it is not easy to use the network and these technologies to synchronize the participants of a musical performance and control the level of interaction in a collaborative musical creation scenario. Based on a multimedia performance created in our research group, O Chaos das 5, we present in this paper some scenarios of interaction and control between musicians and the audience that can be reached using a server side programming infrastructure along with the HTML5. In this performance, the audience took part of the musical soundscape using a cellphone to access a set of digital instruments. These scenarios and the proposed solutions brought up a set of possibilities to balance control and interaction of audience participation into live performance using web instruments.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of harmonic violation on aesthetic judgment of music in music experts and naives. Two groups took part in experiment: music experts (14 subjects, 8 female) and naives (13 subjects, 7 female). Music experts were graduates and undergraduates of music school, played musical instruments or educated in the field of singing from an average of 9.79 years. The group of naive did not have any special musical education besides normal school education. Participants were asked to listen the stimuli and judge whether each of them sounds beautiful (when the beauty judgment task was required) or correct (when the correctness judgment task was required). We used excerpts of five Bach’s chorales as a stimuli. Each of the excerpt was modified in order to obtain three versions of one excerpt differing only in one chord. This chord (‘target’) sounded: congruous, ambiguous or incongruous to harmonic context of the piece. Several differences in event-related potential (ERP) parameters were observed in aesthetic processing of music. The findings of our study showed that an affective aspect of music processing is reflected by LPP – Late Positive Potential. This effect differ in respect of degree of harmonic violation indicating that the incongruous chords enhanced the higher amplitudes. What is more, there was significant difference between two judgments (aesthetic or correctness) showing that the LPP is sensitive on task manipulation. Higher amplitudes for beauty judgment task than for correctness judgment task indicted that aesthetic evaluation is perceived as an affective task. However, our study did not confirm the influence of music expertise on affective aspect of music aesthetic processing. All our results are discussed in the context of previous studies.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to understand how the side group dictates thermo-mechanical properties of shape-memory acrylate networks, specifically strain to failure and toughness. A useful parameter in assessing shape memory polymers is the strain to failure because it is critical to know how much recovery strain the material can experience. To understand how the structure is related to mechanical properties, such as strain to failure, materials of differing chain stiffness ratio, C∞, were compared at varying percentages of crosslinker. While the chemical and thermal properties of acrylate networks have been discussed in much detail, methods of toughening networks by the precise choice of certain acrylates have not been thoroughly examined. In order for these networks to be of practical use as biomedical devices, such as minimally invasive shape memory polymer stents, detailed structure-property relationships must be established.

ABSTRACT Background: The prevalence of hyperuricemia increased rapidly in recent years and has closely interdependent relationship with other metabolic disorders. Conventional medication drugs are usually associated with many side effects. About 75 to 80% of the world population use herbal medicines, mainly in developing countries, for primary health care because of their better acceptability with human body and lesser side effects. This study aimed to examine the effect of hyperuricemia herbs drink on the quality of life. Subjects and Method: A quasi experiment with no control group was carried out at Hortus Medicus clinic, Tawangmangu, Central Java. A sample of 30 hyperuricemia patients (blood uric acid 7-10 mg/dl) was selected for this study. The study subjects consume hyperuricemia herbs drink for 28 days. The dependent variable was quality of life. The independent variables were hyperuricemia herbs drink consumption. Data on quality of life were measured by Short Form-36 (SF-36). Mean difference of quality of life score before and after intervention were analyzed by independent t test. Results: Quality of life score after consuming hypercuremia herbs drink for 28 days (Mean= 80.37; SD=11.89) was higher than before (Mean= 76.20; SD= 15.08), and it was statistically significant (p= 0.001). There was no difference of quality of life score (physical function, physical role, mental health social function, and emotional role dimensions) before and after therapy. Conclusion: Hyperuricemia herbs drink for 28 days is effective to improve quality of life. Keywords: hyperurisemia herbs drink, traditional medicine, quality of life Correspondence: Agus Triyono.

Abstract In the absence of cross-winds, a cyclist can expend up to 90% of their energy to overcome drag and can save up to 30% of that energy if riding behind another cyclist. The aerodynamic forces acting on cyclists in the presence of cross wind have not been studied in much detail. The effect of the offset distances between cyclists on the aerodynamic forces has been investigated in the literature for configurations of two cyclists. In the present study, 1:11 scale models of two different cyclists were rapid-prototyped and tested in a wind tunnel. The effect of the size of the cyclist was studied by placing the larger cyclist model behind the smaller one; the smaller behind the larger one; and the larger model behind an identical (larger model) copy. The effect of position within the group was studied by measuring the forces on each of the four cyclists placed in a favorable formation. The results suggest that the size of the cyclist matters, particularly when the leading cyclist is smaller than the drafting cyclist, and the effect is more prominent for the side forces. The results also show that in a formation of four cyclists, the leading cyclist experiences minor drag reduction compared to riding alone. The second and third cyclists experience the largest force reductions within the group, and the fourth cyclist experiences force reduction, which is not as significant. The results appear to be dependent on the Reynolds number, but may still be valuable for racing strategies and recreational cycling.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of visual information layout format on users' experiences when browsing a mobile e-commerce interface for agricultural products across different ages. The effects of different agriculture product layouts (side-by-side vs. list), and age (younger group vs. older group) on user satisfaction, purchase intention, and preference were assessed by 2x2 between-subjects and within-subjects mixed ANOVA. The study utilized a convenience sampling method, a total of 36 participants were invited and asked to complete satisfaction, purchase intention, and preference scales after they completed four manipulative tasks. The results of the study showed that the form of product layout did not have a significant effect on the participants' purchase intention, whereas there was a significant interaction effect between the young and the old in terms of satisfaction and preference.

In this work, we study the effects of the width of the sound source in several acoustical virtual room models with different topologies, sizes and uses, calibrated with commercial software. To achieve this aim, a square distribution of sound sources with variable side length has been considered. We have auralized four channels of speech signal and musical signal in three different locations in each room. By using signal processing techniques, a comparison of multisource auralizations with the ones obtained from a single source in the middle of the stage is made. Also, the variations between the usual room parameters obtained from these simulations are analyzed, in order to show the effect of the hall in the objective evaluation according to the source width.

ABSTRACT Background: WHO reported that more than 50% of women suffered dysmenorrhea in each nation. Concerning to side effects of analgetic drugs, harmless herbal therapeutic need to be considered as alternative medicine. Besides wide use of Aloe vera as cosmetics, it was also reported as a potent analgesic. This study aimed to investigate the effect of aloe vera drink on the intensity of dysmenorrhea in students at the School of Health Sciences Yatsi, Tangerang. Subjects and Method: A quasi-experiment with one group pretest-posttest without a control group was conducted at School of Health Sciences Yatsi, Tangerang from February to March. A total of 30 female students aged 18-21 years was selected by incidental sampling, in which 5 study subjects’ unmet criteria inclusion were dropped out. The criteria inclusion were female students, unmarried, during pre-menstruation period, no recently pain reliever used, and consent to consume aloe vera drink regularly for six days. The dependent variable was the intensity of dysmenorrhea. The intensity of dysmenorrhea was measured by McGill Pain questionnaires conducted two times at three days before and day 3 of menstruation. The independent variable was aloe vera drink consumption. The data were analyzed by paired t-test. Results: The intensity of dysmenorrhea in study subjects was reduced after treatment with aloe vera drink (Mean= 1.56; SD= 0.71) than before treatment (Mean= 2.68; SD= 0.75), and it was statistically significant (p <0.001).

Full textAbstract:
This study involved secondary analysis of a substantial set of 1987–88 focus group data from Bangladesh’s Matlab Thana, where the Family Planning and Health Services Project was underway since 1977. The project was highly successful in increasing family planning (FP) acceptance and provided a rich research base for studying the diffusion of FP and its effects. The study involved 36 focus groups with fieldworkers, community women, husbands, educated women, and community leaders. The intent of the present study is to examine the effect of FP on women's status in Bangladesh, and to prepare papers on that topic. Following leads in the data itself, two papers were prepared under this subcontract. One concerns the effect of the FP fieldworkers on the knowledge and attitudes of young, unmarried women toward fertility and FP; the other presents a qualitative analysis of the fertility transition in Bangladesh, contributing to the ongoing debate on whether fertility decline is caused by demand-side or supply-side factors. This report reviews both documents.

Review question / Objective: To test the effectiveness of multimodality therapy using minoxidil and micmroneedling, in comparison to minoxodil alone for the treatment of alopecia. In terms of the PICO framework: Population: Includes patients with any form of clinically diagnosed alopecia. Intervention: Includes using combination therapy with microneedling and minoxidil in the treatment of alopecia. Comparison: Includes comparison to minoxidil alone as control group. Outcome: Primary outcome: Increased hair density. Secondary outcome: Increased hair diameter. Condition being studied: Alopecia (hair loss) is a condition that is frequently seen in dermatology. When a thorough examination is made, the root of the issue is frequently revealed, allowing for an explanation and the most suitable treatments. Nevertheless, hair loss can occasionally be the first indicator of a serious underlying medical problem, be observed in conjunction with other conditions, or be a side effect of treatment. Furthermore, alopecia may result in distressingly noticeable symptoms, cause significant patient distress, and cause alopecia with lifelong scars and irreversible hair loss. Therefore, with these illnesses, a precise diagnosis and quick therapy are essential for the most beneficial outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose/Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a frequent complaint in the postoperative period, which can delay discharge, result in readmission, and increase cost for patients and facilities. Inducing paralysis is common in anesthesia, as is utilizing the drugs neostigmine and sugammadex as reversal agents for non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers. Many studies are available that compare these two drugs to determine if neostigmine increases the risk of PONV over sugammadex. Sugammadex has a more favorable pharmacologic profile and may improve patient outcomes by reducing PONV. Methods: This review included screening a total of 39 studies and peer-reviewed articles that looked at patients undergoing general anesthesia who received non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers requiring either neostigmine or sugammadex for reversal, along with their respective PONV rates. 8 articles were included, while 31 articles were removed based on our exclusion criteria. These were published between 2014 and 2020 exclusively. The key words used were “neostigmine”, “sugammadex”, “PONV”, along with combinations “paralytic reversal agents and PONV”. This search was performed on the scholarly database MEDLINE. The data items were PONV rates in neostigmine group, PONV rates in sugammadex group, incidence of postoperative analgesic consumption in neostigmine group, and incidence of postoperative analgesic consumption in sugammadex group. Results: Despite numerical differences being noted in the incidence of PONV with sugammadex over reversal with neostigmine, there did not appear to be any statistically significant data in the multiple peer-reviewed trials included in our review, for not one of the 8 studies concluded that there was a higher incidence of PONV in one drug or the other of an y clinical relevance. Although the side-effect profile tended to be better in the sugammadex group than neostigmine in areas other than PONV, there was not sufficient evidence to conclude that one drug was superior to the other in causing a direct reduction of PONV. Implications for Nursing Practice: There were variable but slight differences noted between both drug groups in PONV rates, but it remained that none of the studies determined it was statically significant or clinically conclusive. This review did, however, note other advantages to sugammadex over neostigmine, including its pharmacologic profile of more efficiently reversing non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs and its more favorable pharmacokinetics. This lack of statistically significant evidence found within these studies consequentially does not support pharmacologic decision-making of one drug in favor of the other for reducing PONV; therefore, PONV alone is not a sufficient rationale for a provider to justify using one reversal over another at the current time until further research proves otherwise.

Full textAbstract:
Bilateral disputes between European Union member states and candidate countries are one of the key obstacles to EU enlargement. They have been plaguing the EU accession process ever since the breakup of Yugoslavia and the subsequent border dispute between EU member Slovenia and candidate country Croatia which then ensued. More recently we have the case of North Macedonia. It became a candidate country in 2005 but ever since, its accession negotiations have been bogged down by endless bilateral disputes. While the case of North Macedonia and its decades long conflicts with Greece and Bulgaria are the most well-known of such cases, they are not the only ones. In a seminal 2018 publication the Balkans in Europe Policy Advisory Group (BIEPAG) outlined the most prominent “open” or “latent” disputes between EU member states and candidate countries in the Western Balkans. Ranging from border to territorial disputes, or ones concerning the status of national minorities, four out of five candidate countries in the region – Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia or Serbia, has a bilateral dispute with one or more EU member states. If you look at new candidates Ukraine and Moldova and potential candidate Georgia however, the list of active or potential bilateral disputes is even longer. Even when a candidate country meets the criteria to progress in EU accession talks, bilateral disputes can delay it for years or even decades as in the case of North Macedonia. In this way such disputes present a serious challenge to the credibility of the EU enlargement process. In the context of the war in Ukraine, as we have seen with regard to the policies of Viktor Orbán’s Hungary towards Ukraine, invoking bilateral disputes can seriously challenge the geopolitical orientation and the security of the entire Union. On the legal side, since most of these issues fall outside the scope of the EU law and are not covered by the accession criteria, there is a need to think of an institutional mechanism to deal with bilateral disputes. Enlargement policy does not offer an appropriate platform for settlement of bilateral disputes, especially for those that fall outside the EU law. Hence, these issues should be addressed via the international legal dispute resolution toolbox and thus be subjects of separate processes. The EU’s role however cannot be passive. It should invest efforts in these processes in order for them to be mutually reinforcing and so that the accession process has a mollifying rather than tension amplifying effect on the issue. In its policy brief, published at the end of 2023, the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) proposed updating the Copenhagen criteria such that they should include a stipulation to resolve bilateral issues between member states and candidate countries through external dispute resolution mechanisms: Territorial disputes should be referred to arbitration or the International Court of Justice, while those on minority rights should be dealt with by the European Court of Human Rights and other appropriate dispute settlement mechanisms. In this policy brief we suggest ways how to operationalise this proposal. First, we describe different types of vertical bilateral disputes (the ones that include asymmetrical relations) between EU members and Western Balkan candidate countries, then we outline international mechanisms to resolve them, and finally we propose an institutional architecture to remove bilateral disputes that fall outside of the scope of the Copenhagen criteria and the EU acquis from the purview of EU accession talks.
