Vernia-Carrasco, Ana M. « Music, Culture and Society : Ideal Environments for Adults ». Cultural Arts Research and Development 2, no 3 (18 octobre 2022) : 10–17. http://dx.doi.org/10.55121/card.v2i3.49.
Texte intégralRésumé :
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.

Robb. « Music Therapy for Children with Oncology & ; Hematological Conditions and Their Families : Advancing the Standards of Psychosocial Care ». Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Nursing 39, no 1 (janvier 2022) : 49–59. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/27527530211059726.
Texte intégralRésumé :
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.

MacDonald, Raymond, et Suvi Saarikallio. « Musical identities in action : Embodied, situated, and dynamic ». Musicae Scientiae 26, no 4 (décembre 2022) : 729–45. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/10298649221108305.
Texte intégralRésumé :
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.

Texte intégralRésumé :
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.

Texte intégralRésumé :
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.

Texte intégralRésumé :
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.

Texte intégralRésumé :
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.

Texte intégralRésumé :
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.

Texte intégralRésumé :
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.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Background. The Swedish cultural organization Skådebanan conducted a pilot prison-based music intervention at a department of Kristianstad’s prison institution as part of their “Culture for Life”-project, aiming to bring culture closer to Swedish inmates and to contribute to a criminal-free life for this group. Aim. The present study aims to conduct a half-way evaluation of Skådebanan’smusic intervention. More specifically, it was explored (1) whether the intervention affected participating inmates’ sense of coherence, (2) what attitudes inmates had towards the project, (3) how inmates commented on the music intervention, and (4) what expectations and experiences the project leader had of the project. Methods. Before and after intervention, a survey containing three parts (Sense of Coherence scale, Likert-scale questions on attitudes, open questions on expectations/experiences of the project) was distributed to the 27 inmates staying at the particular department. The project leader was interviewed before and after he conducted the intervention. Quantitative analysis was performed but limited due to low sample size, qualitative data were subjected to thematical analysis. Results. Minor indications were found that inmates who participated in the intervention had a more positive change in their sense of coherence than those who did not. Inmates held positive attitudes towards the project. Both inmates and project leader noticed positive impacts of the intervention on the participants. Conclusion. Skådebanan’s music intervention may function as a catalyst for change and indirectly contribute to inmates’ desistance from crime. However, no firm conclusions can be drawn and further research is needed to explore potential effects of this musical initiative.Skådebanan's "Culture for Life"-project

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis considers ordinary Swedish teenagers and their everyday use of,and views on, music. The aim of the study is to analyse the relationship between identity and adolescents’ use of music in their daily lives. Theories are employed that hold identity to be a process, and that comprise the social as well as the psychological aspects of the individual (Giddens,1991; 1997; Jenkins, 2008). Since for both Giddens and Jenkins the reflexive identity process takes place in everyday life, it is a concept that is essential to this study. The idea that people are active, not passive, in their day-to-day use of cultural products ultimately leads to Small’s (1998) definition of musicking. The empirical part of the study was carried out among fifteen eighthgraders (14–15 years) in two schools in two Swedish cities. An initial questionnaire provided outlines of the adolescents’ musical preferences, and were followed by focus group conversations centred on six music examples. Later, interviews were carried out to chart the informants’ individual relationships with music and their personal use of it. The material is analysed thematically in three chapters on music and ‘them’, music and ‘us’, and music and ‘me’. In the final chapter, a competent musicking agency is held to be a combinationof individual and social factors. Whether these aspects can coexist boils down to the question of authenticity: much like Giddens’s competent agent, the competent musicking agent moves between life sectors, maintaining balance between uniqueness and normality, and is therefore perceived as authentic by both herself and others. In school, pupils tend to choose music that promotes their public image. Instead of yielding to a tussle between self-image and public image, it is suggested that music education should become a free zone where the well known is looked at in newways, and where one could get to know the unknown.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston UniversityThe purpose of this study was to examine the life of Phyllis Young (b. 1925) and her contributions to string education. The researcher explored her ancestry, childhood, education, personal life, and career as a cellist and string pedagogue. The study is divided into a prologue, five chapters, and an epilogue, and ends with her retirement from the University of Texas String Project in 1993. Phyllis Young, a faculty member at the University of Texas at Austin from 1953- 2007, was Professor of Cello from 1974-2007 and the Parker C. Fielder Regents Professor in Music from 1991-2007. She authored two books, Playing the String Game (1978) and The String Play (1986), and served as national president of the American String Teachers Association. She received that organization's Distinguished Service Award (1984) and the Paul Rolland Lifetime Achievement Award (2002). In 2006, the American String Teachers Association established an award in her name, The Phyllis Young Outstanding Studio Teacher Award. For forty years (1953-1993) Young was associated with the University of Texas String Project, a teacher training program that continues to serve as a model for numerous string programs nation-wide. She was director of the project from 1965-93. Young has given lecture-demonstrations, master classes, and workshops for string teachers in thirtythree countries on six continents and in forty-four of the American states. Her success as a pedagogue is substantiated through her numerous students, many of whom occupy significant musical positions in universities and orchestras, and as leaders in the string education field. Phyllis Young is a dedicated, passionate teacher whose legacy rests not only on her professional accomplishments, but also on her influence on those who have been associated with her. The success of her students, her influence on other string teachers and programs, and her two books, all lasting testaments to her commitment to excellence, can be considered the most significant components of her legacy.

Doctoral thesis, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10281/142583.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Currently, the society is considered risky, characterized by rapid changes, and noticeable by a not-linearity between the educational path and the consequent employment. Now, adolescents, young adults with a vulnerability, and parents have to learn to deal with an unpredictable, unstable, and complex future. Therefore, nowadays in Italy, the university is no longer the place where the parents sent their children (with or without a disability) ready to abdicate from their control, but parents tend to replace their children in career choices, pushing them toward only a supposed safer path (helicopter parents). In fact, all the economic and social changes have had a negative impact on the people’s career, in particular on the young adults with a vulnerability. In this context, career counselling services and researches should act, in order to sustain individual’s career development. In line with the career construction theory and the life design approach, in this thesis, the career and vocational guidance will be considered taking into account the family and the context, that are known to have a fundamental role. The life design approach, in fact, focuses on personal resources (e.g. career adaptability, hope, future orientations, and courage) considering the career development as a social and holistic process.
In order to gain a better insight on the role of the context on career choices, it has been decided to engage in a more depth studies of the role played by parents. In fact, parent, as part of the scientific literature has underlined, are relevant for the representation of the future, self-representation and their children’s career choices. At the same time, the project gathered interesting data on the main psychosocial challenges, fears and stressors, which parents, adolescents, and young adults with a vulnerability face in their professional and educational world. Looking for a methodology that could bring an efficient answer to new guidance needs and to the complexity of the context influences, it was used mix methods, in order to find a stimulating way to examine the relationships between psychosocial career counselling, personal resources, and environment influences. Several studies were conducted in order to intercept the complexity of the social influence process. In particular, in the first part of the thesis, a picture of the social and economic changes that characterized the context in which the project took shape will be provided. The second chapter will explain the International Hope Research Team and its protocol applied to high school students, parents and people with a disability, in order to better understand the role of personal resources in youth’s career development. In addition, the presence of parents in university - a new social phenomenon - will be examined, with qualitative and quantitative data. In particular, the influence that parents have on the students’ representations and their children career choices will be discussed. The third chapter will introduce a new construct in career guidance and counselling: courage. A qualitative research will be presented, in order to investigate the courage youth representations and the role that courage have to face crisis and gender discriminations in career. This chapter will explain national and international researches, in order to analyse the role of courage in the career construction behaviour.
The methodological approach, the process of data collection, and several processes of analysis, will be described in each chapter, underling the role that the social context assume in the career development. In conclusion, the main results about the social and parental influence and the implication for the practice and for the future research will be discussed.

Phillips, Tom, et Armand D'Angour, dir. Music, Text, and Culture in Ancient Greece. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198794462.001.0001.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This book explores the interaction between music and poetry in ancient Greece. Although scholars have long recognized the importance of music to ancient performance culture, little has been written on the specific effects that musical accompaniment and features such as rhythmical structure and melody would have created in individual poems. The chapters in the first half of the volume engage closely with the evidential and interpretative challenges that this issue poses, and propose original readings of a range of texts, including Homer, Pindar, and Euripides, as well as later poets such as Seikilos and Mesomedes. While they emphasize different formal features, they argue collectively for a two-way relationship between music and language. Attention to the musical features of poetic texts, insofar as we can reconstruct them, enables us to better understand not only their effects on audiences, but also the various ways in which they project and structure meaning. In part two, the focus shifts to ancient attempts to conceptualize interractions between words and music; the essays in this section analyse the contested place that music occupied in Plato, Aristotle, Plutarch, and other critical writers of the Hellenistic and Imperial periods. Thinking about music is shown to influence other domains of intellectual life, such as literary criticism, and to be vitally informed by ethical concerns.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Music has helped me through my life. It has been a big thing to me. For the past three years I have been singing—singing in the same choir. It made me realize that singing is something that I love doing. I sing in every mood. At this time, I am twelve years old. A thing that we do in the choir during rehearsals is joke around and have fun....

Texte intégralRésumé :
I honestly cannot remember a time that music was not a part of my life. My grandfather gave me a keyboard when I was 4, and after that I was not really interested in toys, except for maybe trains, so my parents signed me up for piano lessons when I turned 5. But I think I loved music even before that. My sister tells me that I am a musician because I listened to her play the violin when I was a baby....

Choir helps me lead in my regular life outside of choir because I have to prepare for solos, tryouts, and assessments in front of other people. In choir, we do not judge others, and it helps build a sense of community. I know I can trust the other girls in my choir because we support each other and help each other if we’re having trouble. During one choir retreat, there were some new girls who recently moved up from the choir below us. I could not hear them very well; it sounded as if they were not singing at all. I sang louder when I heard they were faltering and tried to help them in any way possible....

Texte intégralRésumé :
In my life music has been a source of enjoyment, an expression of worship, an outlet for emotions, and a way to connect with others. I’ve always had a deep appreciation for music. When I was 7 or 8 years old, my dad bought me and my younger sister a guitar for Christmas. Playing short melodies on the half-size acoustic guitar I received for Christmas that year was my first experience playing an instrument. My father plays guitar, so my sisters and I grew up surrounded by music. As I continued to explore my interest in music, I realized that I had a passion for singing. I decided to take freshman choir in high school, and halfway through my freshman year, I started taking private voice and piano lessons....

Texte intégralRésumé :
My name is Carlos. I am a 17-year-old musician from the city of Philadelphia. I am very passionate about music. I’ve been surrounded by music all of my life. I believe that music goes beyond the making of sounds. Music is about expressing emotions towards something with rhythms. Music is the language in itself meant to touch the soul of those who listen to it. This mindset has been the fuel to my passions. I’ve always loved music; however, it was at the age of 14 that I started to transfer my passion to an instrument. I had this “fever” of not only listening to music but also to be a part in creating it. I first picked up a guitar (that actually worked) three years ago. I remember the simplest sound amazed me. I started thinking: “Wow! I need a guitar of my own!” It was then in November of that same year that I purchased my first guitar....

Texte intégralRésumé :
The objective of this student project was for the students to develop, conduct, and supervise a training course for basic work place applications (word processing and business graphics). Students were responsible for the planning, organizing and the teaching of the course. As participants, underprivileged adolescents took part in order to learn the handling of IT applications and therefore, improve their job skills and have a better chance to get into employment. Therefore the adolescents do the role of trainees at the course. Our students worked with a population that is continually overlooked by the field. As a result, the students trained to design and implement training courses, exercised to manage projects and increased their social responsibility and awareness concerning the way of life and living conditions of other young people. The underprivileged adolescents learned to use important business applications and increased their job skills and job chances. The overall design of our concept required extensive resources to supervise and to steer the students and the adolescents. The lecturers had to teach and to counsel the students and had to be on “stand-by” just in case they were needed to solve critical situations between the two groups of young people.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Emotions play an important role in human life. Extracting human emotions is important because it conveys nonverbal communication cues that play an important role in interpersonal relations. In recent years, facial emotion detection has received massive attention, and many businesses have already utilized this technology to get real-time analytics and feedback from customers to help their business grow. Currently, we have to manually find playlists according to our mood, and it's time-consuming and stressful. Therefore, this process is made automated and simple in this project by proposing a recommendation system for emotion recognition that is capable of detecting the users' emotions and suggesting playlists that can improve their mood. Implementation of the proposed recommender system is performed using Caffemodel to detect faces and the MLP Classifier to detect facial emotions based on the KDEF dataset.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Usually, people really need advice in deciding their choices. Whether it's the movie to watch on Friday night or there are some exciting new things available on e-business. In this distinctive situation, we tend to build a framework which will thus bring down new melodies to shoppers supported their previous history of listening. Now many companies today use the recommendation systems to their advantage such as flip kart and Amazon for the sale of products (e-commerce), ganna.com and music for streaming music, for the sale of clothes, for the films. It assists each business and customers as businesses get financial advantages by attracting customers and users pick up services. Nowadays, everyone uses recommender systems in various forms and they are getting better and better day by day because researchers are trying to cause them to higher and higher each day because of the sturdy competitiveness of the marketplace to provide higher and higher offerings and entice peoples. This project mainly focuses on music only for the music lovers to help them listen to songs they might love. This project allows customers to find new collections or the songs by making the lovey the list accessible for the tuning. Along these lines, the executive can assess which artist or collection would co-ordinate the client's inclinations towards the customers. For the music lovers, music is lifeline and music are a lovely part of the everyone's life because everything in this world can be related to frequency and vibrations. According to all the good things about the music and the high demand for recommendation systems in the market, we chose to do music recommendation system.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Accidents which resulted in lost work time: using a different concept to deal with safety, focusing directly on the behavior of the worker, leading the worker to a sharper perception of the risks and thus enabling a change of behavior towards a safer attitude. “Sounds and Links” Project: the programmatic content was made through musical dynamics because music has the power to evoke feelings, stimulating the participants to live intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships in order to promote safe behaviors. The methodology used was: • “Andragogic (adult education) Model”; • multidiscipline language; • Methodology of “experiencing and living”; and • Focus on the day-by-day situations of work and life. The project was applied to four groups with 60 people, consisting of employees from TRANSPETRO and its contractors, other group with 60 people, composed by leaders, and one group with all participants of the five groups for the general closing session. Expected Results and consequences of the Project: • to turn the concept of safety as a real value to the worker; • to preserve the integrity and to value the life; pursuit a lasting and stable changing of behavior, based on a safety culture; and • to support the management safety system and reduction of the accidents.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Thirty years after the so-called ‚Wende‘, a fundamental and comprehensive study of the musical history of the GDR - encompassing both the music itself and the political and cultural contexts (i.e. the musical relations) - still represents a desideratum. The same is true for a long-term comparative music history of the divided Germany, for which the our project develops some essential prerequisites. The research project presented here is an informed cultural-historical analysis of the musical discourse of the GDR under the auspices of the Cold War. It is not about a revised version of national history only, because despite a relatively strong national and regional self-centredness of the musical life of the GDR, it can hardly be understood without the political and cultural references to the Soviet Union, the Federal Republic of Germany and the neighbouring European states.

Texte intégralRésumé :
E-learning has been spreading more and more in the Romanian schools in order to support the traditional teaching process. Computer-assisted instruction has many advantages, such as active learning strategies, students' involvement in learning, and development of more complex technical skills in tune with greater demands for social and societal insertion. However, there are still many controversies related to the phenomenon of human alienation, reduction of basic interpersonal relations, therefore having negative effects upon the emotional-affective dimension of personal and interpersonal relationships. Referring to persons with disabilities, it is commonly agreed that technology is not just their ally, but often the only chance to compensate their natural induced impairments. People with disabilities use technology to communicate, move, fulfill their basic needs, and self-care, overcoming the 'assisted-person' status and gaining more independence and greater control upon the quality of their lives. Still, questions remain: can or will technology ever help them decisively to overcome social barriers, those last challenges to social progress and the emergence of societies showing an inclusive frame of mind? Those 'walls of discrimination' created between ignorance and tolerance can actually be torn down, at some point, so that disability may be addressed as a sample of human diversity and not as a disadvantage? How can we use technology to get a positive answer to this issue sooner? Using these questions for starters, a project dedicated to the training of inclusive mindsets through play and teamwork from the early age has begun in Bucharest at the Special Kindergarten for the Hard of Hearing no. 65 in March 2014. Fun Lab is a project that combines latest learning technologies through sensory stimulation using cutting-edge equipment with problem-solving strategy based on mutual interaction and support in order to solve amusing tasks, which brings persons with sensory disabilities and regular people of all ages together. We wish to reform the way of looking at disability within the community, to prevent indifference or intolerance, discrimination (even the positive one). We wish to reform the way of thinking of persons with disabilities, both with or without sensory impairments, but having "ignoring or indifference disabilities", in the way of a common effort to real equal opportunities and rights to life and education of all those involved. And because communication between these dramatically different communities is often difficult or impossible, we chose a universal way, so to speak, to communicate, at local, international or even intergalactic level... what else could unite us more tightly and make us interact to each other than technology? We bet on technology, this gigantic destroyer of humanity, as it was often described, to reverse it against its long standing meaning, that is to maim and extinct human relationships and human in generally in the favor of the machine. We plan to reverse the poles and use technological systems to close different communities, to make them interact and know each other, to accept each other and to support each other, completing to one each other in order to achieve a common goal - progress. Project Goal Our goal is a kind of "domino" relationship between the progress of approach and education strategies for rehabilitation of preschoolers with sensory and associated multi-sensory disabilities and the social progress of the community within they will find their place. Non-acceptance and indifference come from ignorance and lack of relationship; by offering a common "toy", we hope to improve not only the life of persons with deficiencies, but the personal progress desire of those from the greater community, referring to attitude toward deficiency in general, toward impairment and limits, even physical ones, toward knowledge or relationship. Activities and results What we plan for ourselves through this project is offering work techniques and abilities for teachers, students and parents, as education partners, by organizing of interactive workshops "Sensory-lab"-like, in which we blend fun, relaxation and out of daily routines with a subtle and positive learning process through play and fun. We use multi-touch technologies and sensory responsive equipments, such as: multi-touch 27" monitor computer charged with hundreds of apps and games from the mains AppStores (sensory training, speech therapy apps, deaf signs apps, sport and motric coordination games, music, team play games, memory and attention games, cognitive and communication development games using virtual realities), 3D archive library and also sound, light and movement responsive equipments. Through participation at "sensory-lab" workshops, the life of the school community will improve and the mutual interactions between the two categories of persons: those who can hear and those who cannot, even if we talk about preschoolers or their parents. As a result of "sensory-lab" activities we expect an increase of the interest in common events and an increased involvement in education and extra-curricular activities of parents and local community.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Sensory Substitution Devices (SSDs) are a relatively novel concept, based on the idea of the multisensory brain. Research on synaesthesia and sensory pairings has revealed that sensory modalities of the brain are interconnected. Nature has demonstrated examples of people who have lost one sense, which has then been substituted by increased ability in another, for example the case of Daniel Kish who navigates like a bat (Burgess, 2021) by clicking of the tongue (echolocation principle). To find a methodology for translating information from one sense to another, or substitute one sense with another is the principle for all SSDs. A number of approaches to assistive technologies for different impairments have been developed, for example for blind people, such as the vOICe “seeing with sound” and EyeMusic Apps, which convert visual images and colours into sound. While most SSDs are focused on functionality to offer life assistance, such as for navigation, little or no work has been done to include the blind into the emotional world of Visual Arts, despite the fact that there are 45 million blind people in the world (Amir Amedi). In this paper, we present an audio GPS based walking app that presents a translation of the visual expression of artworks by sound/music to deliver the emotional content of the paintings to blind people. The music is composed for six artworks of Irish artist symbolist Jack B. Yeats (1871-1957), specifically reflecting on shapes, colours and emotional content of painting by composer experienced in audio-visual synchronisation via synaesthesia (Rudenko and Córdoba Serrano, 2017). The project is centred around the development of a new methodology for multisensory design (MSD) through the design, implementation, and evaluation of a locative art experience with Augmented Reality (AR), hosted by Haunted Planet Studios (director Mads Haahr).

Texte intégralRésumé :
Mental health is a state of an individual’s emotional and psychological wellbeing (Mental health basics,2018). People with mental illness. // Unresolved mental health problems can to a great extent affect the social, emotional, physical and educational development of teens and young adults, which in turn can have an enormous long-term negative effect on their adult life. (Fraser et al 2007). Studies [ show that young people that have positive mental health are much less likely to exhibit risk-taking behaviors such as addiction and even suicide (Reynold et al., 2013). According to the W.H.O. (2019),1 in 5 of the world's children and adolescents have a mental disorder with About 50% of mental health issues beginning before the age of 14. // Studies in Nigeria reveal that there is an existing high level of ignorance about mental illness with people tending to exhibit negative attitudes towards people who identify as having mental health illness. Also, the Rates of mental health workers vary from below 2 per 100,000 populations in low-income countries like Nigeria to 70 per 100,000 in high-income countries. // Presently openly discussing mental health issues is seen as a taboo in a Nigerian setting and people are scared of being stigmatized or labelled as being mad as madness is abhorred as a sign of a cursed bloodline. Research shows that 1/5th of suicide cases in Nigeria are of people aged 13-19, between January- June 2019,30% of suicide committed in Nigeria were students between the ages of 15-29 (Daily Trust,2019). These are worrying figures showing that young people are not able to access the help they need. // This project safe space project is an open-access web-based innovative inclusive system that makes mental health care accessible to teens and young adults in Nigeria who would have been excluded from accessing necessary education /information because they would be unable to afford to see mental health personnel or are so afraid of being stigmatized. In the website is contained age-appropriate carefully curated OER in the form of informative and easy to understand write-up on the different mental disorders, explainer videos, inspirational stories and a provision of a safe online hub connecting people sharing the same diagnosis. Here users can anonymously share their feelings with an understanding and supportive group. This presentation will be centered on the import of this particular project and giving a walkthrough of the project to demonstrate its design features and functionality.

Effectiveness of End-of-Life Strategies to Improve Health Outcomes and Reduce Disparities in Rural Appalachia : An Analytic Codebook. Pediatric End-of-Life (PedEOL) Care Research Group, College of Nursing, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.7290/n89xhm.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Appalachia is one of the most medically underserved areas in the nation. The region has provider shortages and limited healthcare infrastructure. Children and adolescents in this area are in poor health and do not receive the needed quality care. Implementation of section 2302 of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) enabled children enrolled in Medicaid/Children's Health Insurance Program with a terminal illness to use hospice care while continuing treatment for their terminal illness. In addition to being more comprehensive than standard hospice care, this relatively new type of care is more culturally congruent with the end-of-life values of rural Appalachian families, who often view standard hospice as hastening death. The overall goal of this project was to investigate access to pediatric concurrent hospice care in Appalachia. Our central hypothesis was that concurrent care reduces rural/urban disparities in access to hospice care. Data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) used in this project was used and included 1,788 children who resided in the Appalachian region– from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2013. Observations with missing birth dates, death dates, and participants older than 21 years were removed from the final sample. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) databases were created to map the boundaries of the Appalachian region, hospice locations, and driving times to them.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Food hypersensitivities (FH) include food allergy, food intolerance and coeliac disease. Food allergy and coeliac disease involve an immune mediated reaction to certain foods; food intolerance is caused by a non-immune mediated reaction (such as an enzymatic or pharmacological effect). Each of these FHs result in unpleasant symptoms if the food is eaten in sufficient quantity, with food allergic reactions sometimes resulting in life-threatening symptoms. Management of FH by an individual or members of their family therefore involves constant vigilance and risk assessment to determine if a food is safe to eat. Research over the last twenty years has demonstrated that this burden, along with the unpredictable nature of FH reactions, has an impact on quality of life (QoL). QoL encompasses our emotions, physical health, the environment we live in, our social networks and day-to-day activities. FH has been shown to have an impact on many of these areas, however there are still research gaps. In particular, many studies focus on children, adolescents or parents rather than the adult population and little is known about those with food intolerances. In order to make a comprehensive characterisation and evaluation of the burden caused by living with FH, the day-to-day management of FH and associated inconveniences, the FSA has commissioned this project, led by Aston University. The project is called the FoodSensitive study and this report relates to findings for workstream one, a survey to assess the impact of FH on QoL. This survey was carried out in two waves, one year apart. This report covers the second wave and a comparison of wave one and two for those participants who completed both waves.

Tuko Pamoja : A guide for talking with young people about their reproductive health. Population Council, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh16.1017.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This guide was developed for public health technicians working with the Ministry of Health as part of the Kenya Adolescent Reproductive Health Project Tuko Pamoja (We Are Together). It can be used by anyone wishing to broaden their understanding of adolescent reproductive health (RH) issues and improve communication with young people. Providing young people with support by talking with and listening to them as well as ensuring they have access to accurate information can help them understand the wide range of changes they are experiencing during adolescence. Although parents, teachers, religious and community leaders, and health-care providers are expected to educate adolescents about personal and physical development, relationships, and their roles in society, it may be difficult for them to do so in a comfortable and unbiased way. For these reasons, it is important to meet adolescents’ need for information and services. Adolescent RH education provides information about reproductive physiology and puberty; protective behavior; and the responsibilities and consequences that come with sexual activity. Providing young people with accurate RH information promotes sexual health and well-being, and supports healthy, responsible, and positive life experiences, as well as preventing disease and unintended pregnancy.

South Africa : Who uses youth centers and why ? Population Council, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2001.1029.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In 2000, the Reproductive Health Research Unit in KwaZulu Natal and the Population Council conducted an assessment of 12 youth centers and 7 affiliated peer education programs. The 12 centers, located in urban, peri-urban, and rural areas, offer very different services. The two centers of the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health focus on providing reproductive health (RH) information and services to adolescents. The six centers of the Youth and Adolescent Reproductive Health Project provide a broader range of youth-friendly RH services, including counseling and life skills education, as well as modest recreational activities. The four centers run by loveLife have large multipurpose facilities with a wide range of recreational activities, vocational and life skills training, and RH services. This brief states that less than one-third of local youth have ever visited the youth centers in this study area of South Africa. More than half of the youth center visitors were sexually experienced but visiting a center had little discernible effect on RH knowledge or safer sexual behavior. Youth want friendly, nonjudgmental providers; youth-only facilities and young providers are less important.

Kenya : Communities support adolescent reproductive health education. Population Council, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2003.1004.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Young people in Kenya have limited knowledge of reproductive health (RH) and face many challenges in their transition to adulthood. Chief among these challenges is the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS among adults and its increasing incidence among rural youth. In 1999, FRONTIERS initiated a three-year project in Kenya to test the feasibility, effectiveness, and cost of interventions to improve adolescent RH. The project, implemented jointly with the Kenyan government and the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH), was part of a four-country study that examined ways to improve knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of adolescents aged 10 to 19 years. The study took place in six rural communities in Kenya’s Western Province. Two sites received community and health interventions. Two additional sites also received a third school-based intervention, in which teachers, peer educators, and guidance counselors were trained to teach a “life skills curriculum” that included modules on RH, sexuality, and HIV/AIDS. Two control sites received the prevailing government services. As noted in this brief, community, health, and school interventions in rural Kenya increased understanding and discussion of adolescent RH, including prevention of HIV/AIDS, and encouraged safer sexual behavior among young people.
