Abstract:
Singing is one of the most used forms of language for the child and is present in all cultures. The musicality at the base of singing causes measurable biological responses in the singing adult and in the listening child. This article summarizes the most recent scientific evidence on the effects of adult singing (parent or caregiver) during the first years of life of a child. Singing reduces stress, promotes adult-child relationship and the child’s attention skills. Finally, the knowledge of singing’s positive effects emphasizes the importance of this knowledge for the pediatrician in informing families of this useful practice for supporting child development.

Abstract:
In this article, I draw from a number of church fathers who almost unanimously affirm the socially and cosmically unifying power of singing the Psalms. Often tacitly but unmistakably, they draw upon singing as a type of the person of Christ, a participative union of the divine with the human. However, investigation of singing's “illegitimate” pagan and Jewish heritage illustrates the reason for singing's ambivalence in the Christian mind. I conclude, however, that singing, employing the human body and its sensory faculties sanctified by Christ, constituted a far more valuable heuristic, pedagogic, and doxological tool in the early Christian centuries than we commonly appreciate today.

Abstract:
Songs and singing in school: Danish school singing between tangible and intangible cultural heritage For centuries, singing has played a vital role in elementary schools in Denmark. During the 20th Century, singing’s significance – in Denmark as well as elsewhere in Europe – was gradually downplayed, and singing was reduced from an independent subject and an overarching activity to a subdiscipline under the broader subject of “Mus­ic”. In the 2020’s a renewed interest in communal singing is surging in Denmark; this also entails an increasing focus on the benefits of school singing. Political and societal discourse is fraught with wishes of revitalizing singing culture in schools. However, the arguments to support such wishes are quite different in nature, some­times lead­ing to misconceptions. This article aims to show that arguments for school singing fall within a continuum between two poles: In one end of the continuum, singing is valued as a way to preserve a culturally valued repertoire of songs, and in the other end, singing is val­ued as a beneficial activity regardless of what is being sung. The purpose of the article is thus to establish a conceptual distinction that has hitherto been unclear, underscored by the inability of the Danish language to discriminate clearly between “song” and “singing”. To support our case, we mobilize the conceptual pair of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, arguing that these can be mapped on to the distinction between school singing as preservation of songs vs. as an activity in its own right. Further, we trace the occurrence and connotation of the word “song” in Danish public newspapers from the late 18th Century to the 2020’s, showing that the term does indeed fluctuate between connotations of tangible and intangible cultural heritage throughout the period.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a study of English Gypsy Singing in the broader context of contemporary English folksong research and previous English Gypsy song studies. It describes and illustrates Gypsy singers and their respective song performances in the five detail ed case studies of formal and informal contexts. It examines communal engagement in singing and observes that there are three different Singing roles: the Novice, the Participating singer and the Specialist which it considers in relationship to other roles activated during song performances. It gives an account of the way in which Gypsy singing is employed as an enabling device for social bonding, through song performances of the community's Participating and Specialist singers. It further observes that the social constructs which apply to Gypsy singing change according to gender and context. Finally, it considers the songs that Gypsies perform and emphasises that there is no such thing as Gypsy song, rather, it is the song performance, indeed, the whole activity of singing that is specific to Gypsies. English Gypsy singing provides the opportunity to observe community ritual in a vibrant context.

One among the many inventions of Benjamin Franklin is the Glass Armonica, a musical instrument whose sound source was a series of resonating glass vessels. However, the Irish musician Richard Pockrich is typically credited as the first to play an instrument composed of glass vessels, called the Glass Harp in 1741, by rubbing his fingers around the rims. In this project “Singing Wine Glasses”, the principle of Franklin’s glass armonica is demonstrated with a wine glass. One hand is used to hold the glass steady at the base. The rim of glass is gently pressed with a moistened finger of the other hand and drawn in a circle around. When the pressure and amount of moisture are just right, the slight friction between the finger and the rim of glass causes vibrations in the sides of the glass. At a particular frequency, called the resonant frequency, the sides of the glass will vibrate most easily. The resonant frequency of wine glasses is typically within the range of human hearing (20-20,000 Hz), so the resulting resonant vibration is heard as a tone. The glass starts to sing when the vibration gets the molecules moving at their natural frequency. The resonant frequency changes with the amount of water filled in the glass. This android application deals with virtual glasses that serve the purpose of wine glasses filled with different amounts of water. Swiping on the glass edges would produce music, as per Franklin’s principle. The users would be free to select the number of glasses they want to play, and the amount of water-level in each glass. This application would also come with an enhanced feature of sustaining a particular note until the finger is released from the glass.

Abstract:

one tongue singing is a novel which unfolds in two time-frames. In the first, a young unmarried French nurse comes to South Africa with her father and her small daughter during the closing years of apartheid. The family settles amongst a small wine-growing community in the Western Cape where they become involved in the lives of victims of the System. In the second frame, the daughter, now about nineteen years old, is a talented artist who enrols at the exclusive Art School of a womanising painter. The man walks a tightrope between popular success and a deep-seated fear of failure (linked to a growing awareness of being a fake). He has started to suffer from panic attacks.

Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.

Our voice is an important part of our individuality. From the voice of others, we are able to understand a wealth of non-linguistic information, such as identity, social-cultural clues and emotional state. But the relationship we have with our own voice is less obvious. We don't hear it the same way others do, and our brain treats it differently from any other sound we hear. Yet its sonority is highly linked to our body and mind, and is deeply connected with how we are perceived by society and how we see ourselves. This thesis defends the idea that experiences and situations that make us hear, see and touch our voice differently have the potential to help us learn about ourselves in new and creative ways. We present a novel approach for designing self-reflective experiences based on the voice. After defining the theoretical basis, we present four design projects that inform the development of a framework for Self-Reflective Vocal Experiences. The main objective of this work is to provide a new lens for people to look at their voice, and to help people gain introspection and reflection upon their mental and physical state. Beyond this first goal, the methods presented here also have extended applications in the everyday use of technology, such as personalization of media content, gaming and computer-mediated communication. The framework and devices built for this thesis can also find a use in subclinical treatment of depression, tool design for the deaf community, and the design of human-computer interfaces for speech disorder treatment and prosody acquisition.

Abstract:
Thesis (MScEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.
A singing transcription system transforming acoustic input into MIDI note sequences is presented. The transcription system is incorporated into a pronunciation-independent sight-singing tutor system, which provides note-level feedback on the accuracy with which each note in a sequence has been sung. Notes are individually modeled with hidden Markov models (HMMs) using untuned pitch and delta-pitch as feature vectors. A database consisting of annotated passages sung by 26 soprano subjects was compiled for the development of the system, since no existing data was available. Various techniques that allow efficient use of a limited dataset are proposed and evaluated. Several HMM topologies are also compared, in analogy with approaches often used in the field of automatic speech recognition. Context-independent note models are evaluated first, followed by the use of explicit transition models to better identify boundaries between notes. A non-repetitive grammar is used to reduce the number of insertions. Context-dependent note models are then introduced, followed by context-dependent transition models. The aim in introducing context-dependency is to improve transition region modeling, which in turn should increase note transcription accuracy, but also improve the time-alignment of the notes and the transition regions. The final system is found to be able to transcribe sung passages with around 86% accuracy. Finally, a note-level sight-singing tutor system based on the singing transcription system is presented and a number of note sequence scoring approaches are evaluated.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: This study undertook a meta-synthesis of qualitative data with the aim of collating, synthesizing, and evaluating the current evidence regarding the experiences of singing for people with advanced chronic respiratory disease. Condition being studied: Advanced respiratory illnesses are disorders that impact the airways and other structures of the lung. People with lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung disease (ILD) frequently experience progressive, frightening breathlessness, cough and fatigue, which affect their quality of life. Furthermore, people with advanced chronic respiratory disease (CRD) and their carers experience a high prevalence of loneliness and uncertainty, especially if breathlessness is felt to herald death and thus, require both psychological and practical supportive care to cope with their symptoms.

Abstract:
This Evidence Snapshot is an updated rapid review of current knowledge about aerosol transmission of COVID-19. The original review was completed in August 2020 and this updated review in October 2020. The updated review found that the weight of evidence was that aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2 does occur. Five reviews found that the virus may spread as an aerosol. Experimental studies demonstrated aerosolisation of the virus with persistence from 90 minutes to 16 hours, and evidence for horizontal transmission was found for ranges from two to eight metres. Environmental sampling studies typically found viral RNA both in the air and on air vents. Eight out of ten investigations of outbreaks reviewed found that transmission occurred without close direct contact. Risk of transmission was thought to be associated with shared indoor space, closed air recirculation and singing.

Abstract:
This paper explores the profound connections between Kaupapa Māori research and practice through the reflections of Māori practitioners. As part of a Kaupapa Māori research internship funded by Te Whatu Ora, hosted at Ngā Wai a Te Tūī, and co-led by Dr Hinekura Smith and Associate Professor Byron Rangiwai, this paper presents the perspectives of four Māori practitioners. Marcel Croul (Ngāti Tamaterā) discusses his film-editing practice in the context of a collaboration with Dr Hinekura Smith to create a short documentary on the wahine-led practice of whatuora. Allana Goldsmith (Ngāti Porou, Ngāi Tai) explores her jazz-singing practice, combining jazz music with a Māori worldview. Manaaki Fletcher (Ngāti Awa, Ngāi Tūhoe) examines the connection between Kaupapa Māori research and kapa haka, and discovers that kapa haka may be understood as a manifestation of Kaupapa Māori research. Atareta Moses (Ngāti Awa, Ngāi Tūhoe) investigates the intersections and opportunities concerning Kaupapa Māori and human-resource management.

Abstract:
Play during early childhood is key to stimulating childrens physical, social, emotional and cognitive development; it promotes their imagination and creativity, improves their problem-solving skills and enhances their learning readiness by providing the foundations to build skills later in their lives. Parental engagement in play-based learning at home is one of the behaviors most consistently associated with positive child development. However, it is concerning that levels of parental engagement in play activities have been found to be lower in low-resourced settings. Additionally, research on play-based learning is largely limited to high-income countries and little is known about the use of hybrid interventions that promote play-based learning at home. This study uses an experimental design to estimate the effects of a hybrid large-scale parental program to promote play-based learning in the state of Morelos, Mexico. We found a positive impact on parental investment, as caregivers of the treatment group had a FCI 0.13 SD higher than the control group. The treatment group performed the following activities more often than the control group: reading books /looking at pictures (0.12 SD), singing songs (0.11 SD), and playing with toys (0.17 SD), which incentivize learning, emotional and cognitive skills development in children. The study also found a significant effect of 0.19 SD on the CDC index for those caregivers who invested less than the median FCI at the baseline. Our findings support the importance of parental training for increased quality and time of caregiver investments in play activities, which lead to improved child outcomes, especially among children in households with the lowest levels of caregiver investment at baseline.

Abstract:
Sunflower commercialisation in Singida Region, Tanzania has been successful. The successes include increased oilseed production, expanding processing capacity and declining rural poverty. Policies and efforts by development agents to promote sunflower commercialisation have increased the number of actors and service providers. Accumulation from sunflower and other enterprises, including livestock, have not only improved livelihoods, but also contributed to household economic diversity. This paper examines the interactions between activities involved in sunflower production and other livelihood strategies. For example, the paper examines local dynamics in policy and business contexts that have shaped livelihood options available and people’s choices of which option they undertake, and the corresponding outcomes, and reasons for such commercialisation trajectories. The study aims to inform local, regional, and national strategies, to pursue more inclusive and sustainable agriculture development, and widen options and pathways for men and women in Mkalama and Iramba districts of Singida Region.

Abstract:
Livestock is an important component of mixed crop-livestock farming systems in the Singida Region in Tanzania, directly or indirectly contributing to household income, food security and poverty reduction among rural people in the region. This paper examined the effect of livestock on crop commercialisation and farmers’ livelihoods in the region. The complementarity between crops and livestock in the farming systems of Singida needs to be recognised, enhanced and utilised not only by farmers and livestock keepers, but also by local government authorities and development practitioners.

Abstract:
This paper looks at the challenges and shortcomings facing the sunflower sub-sector in Tanzania. It showcases the political economy of sunflower based on analyses of the performance of the sector over a 30-year period since the early 1990s, also studying the relations between the importers of edible oil, and the local actors of the sunflower value chain (farmers and processors). In addition, the authors discuss how disparities in accessing resources for production were established across gender, age, wealth status, which led to social differentiation. Following this, they examine how restrictions introduced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected activities and relations along the sunflower value chain.
