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.

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.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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.

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.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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.

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.

Captured by Tatars as a young man and sold to the Sultan’s court, the Polish-Ottoman court musician and interpreter ʿAlī Ufuḳī (Albert/Wojciech Bobowski, c. 1610–1675) was a bicultural personality with widespread interest in different areas of learning. His priceless notation collection (MS Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Turc 292) also contains a wealth of medical texts both European and Ottoman, copied or excerpted from existing sources, as well as personal notes and case descriptions. European and Ottoman medical knowledge is presented side by side as encountered and found worthwhile by ʿAlī Ufuḳī, who evidently had access to drugs and treated at least himself. Among a group of personal observations, case studies from plague outbreaks of the 1640s stand out for their historical importance. MS Turc 292 is the personal document of a transcultural personality capable of benefiting from a diverse environment that encouraged transfer and exchange of knowledge.

Objectives The purposes of this study were to find out the effect of the competency-based performance assessment on musical emotion and communication competencies.
Methods 89 middle school girls in Seoul were classified into a competency-based performance assessment group and a skill-based performance assessment group. They performed each performance assessment for 3 months. And then independent t-test and pre-post t-test were conducted to measure the improvement level of the musical emotion⋅communication competency. Finally, correlation analysis and simple regression analysis were conducted to find out the relationship between the post score of competency-based performance assessment and the musical emotion⋅communication competency.
Results The total score of the competency-based performance assessment group was more than the total score of skill-based performance assessment group. It was .298 points higher. All sub-factors and most of questions of the competency-based performance assessment group were improved than before. On the other hand, the skill-based performance assessment group showed a slight improvement in the score of sub-factors and some questions. As a result of correlation and simple regression analysis, the competency-based performance assessment was found to be a factor influencing the appreciation and application factors of musical communication competency. On the other hand, the skill-based performance assessment was found to be a influencing factor of the understanding and musical knowledge factors that related to the cognitive aspects of musical emotion competency and communication competency.
Conclusions The competency-based performance assessment was more effective than the skill-based performance assessment in improving the target competency. If competency-based performance assessment is carried out by real-life tasks, ability evaluation to apply and utilize knowledge and functions, affective domain evaluation, and process-focused evaluation, actual competency can be enhanced.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a musical instrument performance program on emotional intelligence, anxiety, and aggression in Korean elementary school children. A quasi-experimental study design was employed, in which the experimental group ( n = 30) received a weekly group musical instrument performance class with a regular music class, and the control group ( n = 30) received only a regular music class that is part of the elementary school curriculum. We measured emotional intelligence, anxiety, and aggression at the beginning and end of the 24-week intervention using the Emotional Intelligence Scale, the Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Aggression Scale. The musical instrument performance program improved the ability to perceive emotions, and reduced physical and verbal aggression, but had no statistically significant effect on the level of total emotional intelligence, anxiety, or aggression.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Introduction: Musical aptitude is the innate ability of an individual to understand, appreciate, improvise, and have a good sense of pitch and rhythm, even without undergoing formal musical training. The present study aimed to understand the effect of musical aptitude on auditory spatial perception. Method: Forty nonmusicians were subjected to a musical aptitude test Mini Profile of Music Perception Skills (Mini-PROMS) based on which they were divided into two groups. Group I included 20 nonmusicians with good musical aptitude (NM-GA) and Group II comprised 20 nonmusicians with poor musical aptitude (NM-PA). Auditory spatial tests included interaural time difference (ITD) and interaural level difference (ILD) threshold tests and a closed-field spatial test called virtual acoustic space identification (VASI) test. Results: Kruskal–Wallis test revealed a significant difference between Group I (NM-GA) and Group II (NM-PA) in ITD (p < 0.001), ILD (p = 0.002), and VASI (p = 0.012) tests, suggesting the role of musical aptitude in auditory spatial perception. Correlational analyses showed a moderate positive correlation between Mini-PROMS scores with VASI (r = 0.31, p = 0.04) and a moderate negative correlation with ILD (r = −0.3, p = 0.04) and ITD (r = −0.5, p = 0.001). Conclusion: This study defines a positive association between musical aptitude and auditory spatial perception. Further research should include a comparison of spatial skills among musicians and nonmusicians with good musical aptitude.

Discomfort associated with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) may participate in its failure. We aimed to determine the effect of a musical intervention on respiratory discomfort during NIV in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF).An open-label, controlled trial was performed over three centres. Patients requiring NIV for ARF were randomised to either a musical intervention group (where they received a musical intervention and were subjected to visual deprivation during the first 30 min of each NIV session), a sensory deprivation group (where they wore insulating headphones and were subjected to visual deprivation during the first 30 min of each NIV session), or a control group (where they received NIV as routinely performed). The primary outcome was the change in respiratory discomfort before and after 30 min of the first NIV session.A total of 113 patients were randomised (36 in the musical intervention group, 38 in the sensory deprivation group and 39 in the control group). Median (interquartile range (IQR)) change in respiratory discomfort was 0 (−1; 1) between the musical intervention and control groups (p=0.7). Between groups comparison did not evidence any significant variation of respiratory parameters across time or health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at day-90. The Peri-traumatic Distress Inventory (PDI) at intensive care unit (ICU) discharge was reduced in musical intervention group patients. However, a 30 min musical intervention did not reduce respiratory discomfort during NIV for ARF in comparison to conventional care or sensory deprivation.

The pricing of ride-hailing platforms (e.g., Didi Rider and Uber) is heavily and simultaneously influenced by the cross-group network effect and congestion effect. To analyze the bilateral pricing of ride-hailing platforms under the influence of these two effects, in this paper we construct a game-theoretic model under four different scenarios and analyze the equilibrium outcomes. The results show that: (1) when both passengers and drivers are sensitive to hassle costs, if the cross-group network effect on the passenger side is higher than that on the driver side, then the platform’s pricing on both sides increases with the increase in the congestion effect, otherwise the prices on both sides of the platform decrease with the increase in the congestion effect; (2) when passengers are sensitive to hassle costs and drivers are sensitive to price, if the ratio for passengers’ and drivers’ different perceptions of price and hassle cost is greater than a certain threshold, then the platform’s pricing on the passenger side increases with the increase in the congestion effect and the platform’s pricing on the driver side decreases with the increase in the congestion effect, otherwise the platform’s pricing on the passenger side decreases with the increase in the congestion effect and the platform’s pricing on the drivers’ side increases with the increase in the congestion effect; (3) when passengers are sensitive to price and drivers are sensitive to hassle costs, if the ratio for passengers’ and drivers’ different perceptions of price and hassle costs is greater than a certain threshold, then the platform’s pricing on the passenger side decreases with the increase in the congestion effect and the platform’s pricing on the drivers’ side increases with the increase in the congestion effect, otherwise the platform’s pricing on the passenger side increases with the increase of the congestion effect and the platform’s pricing on the driver side decreases with the increase in the congestion effect; (4) when both passengers and drivers are price-sensitive, if the cross-group network effect on the passengers’ side is larger than that on the drivers’ side, then the platform should decrease its pricing on both sides with the increase in the congestion effect, otherwise, if the cross-group network effect on the passengers’ side is less than that on the drivers’ side, the platform should increase its pricing on both sides with the increase in the congestion effect; (5) the platform is able to generate the highest profit in each scenario, and the results of the profit comparison between the four scenarios depends on the cross-group network effects and the congestion effects on both the passengers’ and the drivers’ sides.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The effect of music therapy on cognitive function has been widely reported; however, its clinical implications remain controversial. Performing therapeutic musical activities in groups using individualized instruments can help overcome the issues of engagement and compliance. We aimed to evaluate the effect of a cognitive intervention with musical stimuli using digital devices on mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In this prospective study, 24 patients with MCI (intervention group, 12; and control group, 12) were enrolled. We developed an electronic device with musical instruments and the Song-based Cognitive Stimulation Therapy protocol (SongCST). Patients in the intervention group underwent a 10-week cognitive intervention involving musical stimuli generated by our device. Effect of the intervention on cognitive function was evaluated by the Mini-Mental State Examination-Dementia Screening (MMSE-DS), Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Korean (MOCA-K), and Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-SOB). In the intervention group, MMSE-DS and MOCA-K scores improved significantly after the 10-week intervention. The changes in MOCA-K and CDR-SB scores were significantly different between the intervention and control groups. Our study showed that music therapy with digital devices has a positive effect on the executive function and overall disease severity in patients with MCI.

The authors investigated the effectiveness of cooperative listening exercises in developing critical music-listening skills in nonmusic majors. Subjects were college freshmen and sophomores enrolled in Introduction to Western Music. Control-group subjects attended classes taught exclusively in lecture format. Two experimental groups participated in four 50-minute group-listening exercises. Experimental Group 2 engaged in five additional group-analysis exercises, comparing known and unfamiliar musical styles. The consistent use of cooperative-listening exercises proved to be more effective in developing subjects' critical listening skills than either lecture-demonstration or occasional group work. On final exams, Experimental Group 2 scored significantly better than the other groups on identifications of texture, compositional genre, and musical style. To be most effective, group work needs to be implemented on a regular basis — for both the introduction of new material and for its review or application. March 31, 2006 April 22, 2006

Implanon is a single rod contraceptive implant, it is one of the most reliable birth control methods, highly effective with rapid onset of action and an equally rapid return of fertility once removed. Thromboembolic events are established adverse events of hormonal contraceptives; however, few cases of thromboembolic complications of implanon have been reported in the literature. A 39 year old woman, with no known risk factors for thrombus formation and no past history of thromboembolic events presented with difficulty with breathing, cough, hemoptysis, chest pain and an episode of syncopal attack. Further evaluation revealed elevated D dimer, sinus tachycardia on (ECG) and computerized tomography pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) finding of pulmonary embolism. She had implanon inserted for contraception 2 months before the event. Initiation of prompt management with anticoagulant and discontinuation of implanon led to a favourable patient outcome. In conclusion, pulmonary embolism is a possible though uncommon adverse event associated with implanon contraceptive. Therefore, women of reproductive age group requiring contraceptives should be risk stratified with the aim of identifying those with increased risk of this side effect. They should be properly guided and counseled on the appropriate choice of safe and effective contraceptive method. In addition, women on hormonal contraceptive methods (including implanon) presenting with symptoms suggestive of thromboembolic events should be promptly evaluated and treated to avoid high fatality associated with this condition.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Max Steiner was one of a significant group of Jewish composers who flourished during Hollywood’s Golden Age. Steiner’s Jewish heritage is rarely discussed in connection with his film music. However, his original underscore for Symphony of Six Million (1932) is revealing. In this essay, I consider how Steiner dealt with Jewish identity when presenting an “insider’s view” of the Lower East Side to a mainstream American audience. Steiner may have used Jewish musical materials for “local color” in a manner typical of evocations of musical exoticism in Hollywood. While aspects of this score border on melodramatic pastiche, a searching analysis reveals that Steiner drew from Jewish sacred and secular musical materials to create a trenchant, intertextual context. Steiner’s relationship to his Jewish identity is enigmatic. The Steiner family envisioned themselves as completely assimilated and thoroughly Viennese. Even so, one could not help but have a Jewish identity in fin de siècle Vienna. Steiner’s words, music, and philanthropy reveal a complex Jewish identity.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This study investigated the effects of musical instrument learning on the concomitant development of cognitive, behavioural and socio-emotional skills in 38 seven- to nine-year-old children. Pre- and post-test measures of intelligence, memory, socio-emotional behaviour, motor ability and visual-motor integration were compared in children who received either extra-curricular musical training (EMT: n = 19) or statutory school music group lessons (SSM: n = 19). Results showed a significant association between musical aptitude and intelligence overall. The EMT group showed a significant increase in IQ (7 points), in comparison to 4.3 points for the SSM group, suggesting an effect of musical learning on intelligence. No effects were found for memory, or for visual motor integration or socio-emotional behaviour. However, significant improvements in gross motor ability where revealed for the EMT group only, for the aiming and catching composite. With regard to the measure of fluid intelligence, these findings support previous studies. The novel use of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children provides evidence that musical learning may support development in a child’s ability to judge distance, consider velocity, focus and use their proprioceptive, interoceptive and exteroceptive nervous systems.

Objective: to analyze the effect of musical interventions to reduce stress levels in the elderly. Methods: quantitative research, of quasi-experimental type, in which the level of stress was assessed before and after interventions with the music therapy method, called receptive experience, in 25 elderly people in a support group. The Perceived Stress Scale was used and descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed. Results: in the assessment of perceived stress, the average was 33.6 (standard deviation 5.17) points in the pre-test and 31.6 (standard deviation 2.29) points in the post-test (p<0.05). In the assessment dimension, the reduction was identified only in the perceived distress factor. Pre-tests outcomes showed that the higher the monthly income, the lower the perceived stress (p=0.043). Conclusion: musical interventions with the participants of this study were able to reduce stress levels, indicating the importance of music as a therapeutic resource in health promotion actions.

These quasi-experiment research aims to identify any effect of music activities as media to reduce stress hassle on the subject which attend in the choir group. The musical repertoire which was used was the pop genre which technically did not have much complexities and the lyric straightforward to understand. Hassle stress is a stressor that involves minor everyday events such as traffic jam, activities of queuing, forgetfulness in putting the things, or turmoil. Manipulation or treatment treated to the subject as a member of the choir is totally N=10. The treatment was the singing rehearsal. The tools for collecting data were a questioner of self-report which contained questions and QRMA (Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer) measurement which also focused on group discussion. The result shows that there is an effect of musical activities as media for reducing the stress hassle and promoting the previous research results. Some analysis shows that there should be an experiment with a different musical repertoire because a difference genre needs a different skill and there should be a necessity to measure a physical condition more accurately by QRMA to all participants.

BackgroundAutistic patients often exhibit social impairments and have a longer recovery period. The cultivation of musical aesthetic ability will expand the interests and hobbies of the trainees and alleviate social pressure. Therefore, the cultivation of musical aesthetic ability can be used in research on treating students with autism.Subjects and MethodsIn order to analyze the effectiveness of cultivating musical aesthetic ability in the treatment of autism among college students, the study randomly selected 60 college students with autism and divided them into two groups. One group is a blank group, which only receives conventional treatment. The other group is the experimental group, where patients in the experimental group receive routine treatment while also developing their musical aesthetic abilities. Two groups of experimental personnel were evaluated using the Children’s Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and the Kirschner Autism Behavior Scale (CABS) before and after the experiment.Results Before the experiment, the CARS scores of the blank group and the experimental group were 34.83 ± 1.25 and 33.46 ± 2.06, respectively. After the experiment, the scores changed to 30.26 ± 2.81 and 28.16 ± 2.05, respectively. In the evaluation of the CABS scale, the scores of the blank group and the experimental group before the experiment were 16.26 ± 2.06 and 16.59 ± 1.75, respectively. After the experiment, the scores of the two groups were 15.73 ± 1.74 and 13.71 ± 2.05, respectively.ConclusionsThe cultivation of musical aesthetic ability in vocal music teaching in universities has an excellent therapeutic effect on autism among college students.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of drum band activities to improve musical intelligence in early childhood in Hang Tuah Kindergarten, Bengkulu City. The type of research used is quantitative research with a quasi-experimental approach using the Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. Based on data analysis and discussion of research results, it can be concluded that drum band activities have proven to have an effect on early childhood musical intelligence in Hang Tuah Kindergarten, Bengkulu City. This can be seen from the results of the pretest and posttest experimental and control groups at the time of the study proved to have increased. In the experimental treatment, there was an increase of 80% from the previous pretest result of 30% with the treatment using the drum band musical instrument playing method to an increase of 90%. When the treatment did not use the method of playing musical instruments, it decreased by 55%.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Musicians’ sway during performance seems to be related to musical structure. However, it has yet to be shown that examples of the relationship are not simply due to chance. Progress has been impeded by three problems: the assumption that musical structure is constant across performances; the complexity of the movements; and the inability of traditional statistical tests to accurately model the multilevel temporal hierarchies involved. We solved these problems in a study of the side-to-side postural sway of two trombonists as they each recorded two performances of each of two solo pieces in each of three different performance styles (normal, expressive, non-expressive). The musicians reported their phrasing immediately after each performance by marking copies of the score. We measured the rate and stability (mean line) of recurrence (self-similarity) and assessed the effect of serial position within a phrase, using mixed linear models to model the nesting of phrases within pieces, within performances, across expressive styles and musicians. Recurrence and stability of recurrence changed systematically across the course of a phrase, producing sinusoidal-like and arch-shaped phrasing contours that differed with the performance style and length of phrase. As long suspected, musicians’ expressive movements reflect musical structure.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The acoustic environment is one of the factors influencing emotion, however, existing research has mainly focused on the effects of noise on emotion, and on music therapy, while the acoustic and psychological effects of music on interactive behaviour have been neglected. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of music on communicating emotion including evaluation of music, and d-values of pleasure, arousal, and dominance (PAD), in terms of sound pressure level (SPL), musical emotion, and tempo. Based on acoustic environment measurement and a questionnaire survey with 52 participants in a normal classroom in Harbin city, China, the following results were found. First, SPL was significantly correlated with musical evaluation of communication: average scores of musical evaluation decreased sharply from 1.31 to −2.13 when SPL rose from 50 dBA to 60 dBA, while they floated from 0.88 to 1.31 between 40 dBA and 50 dBA. Arousal increased with increases in musical SPL in the negative evaluation group. Second, musical emotions had significant effects on musical evaluation of communication, among which the effect of joyful-sounding music was the highest; and in general, joyful- and stirring-sounding music could enhance pleasure and arousal efficiently. Third, musical tempo had significant effect on musical evaluation and communicating emotion, faster music could enhance arousal and pleasure efficiently. Finally, in terms of social characteristics, familiarity, gender combination, and number of participants affected communicating emotion. For instance, in the positive evaluation group, dominance was much higher in the single-gender groups. This study shows that some music factors, such as SPL, musical emotion, and tempo, can be used to enhance communicating emotion.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the music perception of cochlear implantees with two different sound processing strategies. Methods: Twenty-one patients with unilateral or bilateral cochlear implants (Oticon Medical®) were included. A music trial evaluated emotions (sad versus happy based on tempo and/or minor versus major modes) with three tests of increasing difficulty. This was followed by a test evaluating the perception of musical dissonances (marked out of 10). A novel sound processing strategy reducing spectral distortions (CrystalisXDP, Oticon Medical) was compared to the standard strategy (main peak interleaved sampling). Each strategy was used one week before the music trial. Results: Total music score was higher with CrystalisXDP than with the standard strategy. Nine patients (21%) categorized music above the random level (>5) on test 3 only based on mode with either of the strategies. In this group, CrystalisXDP improved the performances. For dissonance detection, 17 patients (40%) scored above random level with either of the strategies. In this group, CrystalisXDP did not improve the performances. Conclusions: CrystalisXDP, which enhances spectral cues, seemed to improve the categorization of happy versus sad music. Spectral cues could participate in musical emotions in cochlear implantees and improve the quality of musical perception.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The ethnic group ‘Hmong’, the descendants of Chinese ‘Miao’ group who migrated south to reside in Northern Thailand, is known to possess their own unique arts, culture, tradition, and music. However, the influence of social change seemed to largely affect the musical culture of Hmong ethnic, Khao Kho District, Phetchabun Province, in a multifactorial manner. Through different phases of a series of communist wars, the original musical cultures were subjected to the cumulative changes of social contexts, evolving toward modernization, at a great extent. In addition, not only the social changes have had a large impact on the Hmong ethnic’s musical cultures, but also on their ritual performances that require music as its core. This study aimed to elucidate the effect of social changes on musical culture by identifying the key contributing factors that determined Hmong’s musical performances and appreciation based on their historical features.

This report presents the results of a study into the relationship between musical ability and the development of a phonological system by foreign language learners. Our own experiences both as a foreign language teacher and as a musical group leader have raised a number of questions and lines of enquiry. These challenge previous researchers’ findings concerning the allegedly absolutely positive effect of music on language learning and as a result this study has been undertaken.After a brief theoretical presentation, we describe the research project in which learners abilities to distinguish and produce different phonemes as well as the prosody of the language studying are analyzed. Two groups of learners were compared in this study. One group attended a music school. The second group had no musical experience. The study showed that receptive skills were not significantly different between the two groups. The group of learners with musical training was more articulate but this was the only difference. The statistical approach used in analysis of data was the Wilcoxon test.

The goal of this study was to examine the social influence on music liking with respect to individual musical taste. To measure musical taste, participants (N = 95, mean age 20.4 years) filled in the STOMP scale. They were then asked individually to listen to 16 musical excerpts from different genres using a computer program and rate how much they liked them. They were divided into three groups that were shown different information about other participants’ ratings of the same excerpts. The first group was shown ratings allegedly based on others’ positive judgments, the second group was shown ratings allegedly based on others’ negative judgments, and the third group was given no information. The results showed that the participants’ ratings were susceptible to social influence, i.e., they conformed towards the shown group norm. As expected, musical taste was related to the ratings of the music excerpts, but did not moderate the effect of social influence. Thus, the results show that social comparison, which has been confirmed by research in various areas of human judgment, also exists in rating music.

The author describes a musical installation that allows players to record, transform and share their voices in a group. A central computer system facilitates the interaction as participants interdependently collaborate in developing their “voice motifs” into a coherent musical composition. Observations of subjects interacting with two different applications that were developed for the installation lead to a discussion regarding the use of abstract sounds as opposed to spoken words, the effect of group interdependency on individual contribution by players and the tension between maintaining autonomy and individuality versus sharing and collaborative group playing.

“Born in the U.S.A.” has been one of the most important and controversial songs of Bruce Springsteen’s career. For some listeners, the song is a pro-America anthem; for others, it is a scathing commentary on American government and society. This paper challenges both of those views, arguing that the song’s apparently contradictory musical form and lyrical content interact to produce a collective rhetorical effect. In this view, “Born in the U.S.A.” is not an argument for a specific political ideology but rather a multilayered and multidirectional interrogation of the paradoxes of national belonging.

The different abilities involved in artistic creativity may be mirrored by differences among mental disorders prevalent in each artistic profession, taking poets, painters, and composers as examples. Using suicide rates as a proxy for the prevalence of mental disorders in groups of artists, we investigated the percentage of deaths by suicide in a sample of 4,564 eminent artists who died in the 19th and 20th centuries. Of the sample, 2,259 were primarily involved in activities of a linguistic nature, e.g., poets and writers; 834 were primarily visual artists, such as painters and sculptors; and 1,471 were musicians (composers and instrumentalists). There were 63 suicides in the sample (1.3% of total deaths). Musicians as a group had lower suicide rates than literary and visual artists. Beyond socioeconomic reasons, which might favour interpretations based on effects of health selection, the lower rate of suicides among musicians may reflect some protective effect arising from music.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
It is widely believed that the frequency selectivity of the auditory system is largely determined by processes occurring in the cochlea. If so, musical training would not be expected to influence frequency selectivity. Consistent with this, auditory filter shapes for low center frequencies do not differ for musicians and nonmusicians. However, it has been reported that psychophysical tuning curves (PTCs) at 4000 Hz were sharper for musicians than for nonmusicians. This study explored the origin of the discrepancy across studies. Frequency selectivity was estimated for musicians and nonmusicians using three methods: fast PTCs with a masker that swept in frequency, “traditional” PTCs obtained using several fixed masker center frequencies, and the notched-noise method. The signal frequency was 4000 Hz. The data were fitted assuming that each side of the auditory filter had the shape of a rounded-exponential function. The sharpness of the auditory filters, estimated as the Q10 values, did not differ significantly between musicians and nonmusicians for any of the methods, but detection efficiency tended to be higher for the musicians. This is consistent with the idea that musicianship influences auditory proficiency but does not influence the peripheral processes that determine the frequency selectivity of the auditory system.

e19575 Background: We aim to determine the acute side effects of radiotherapy and the contribution of age to side effect occurrence in patients treated with radiotherapy. Methods: The data of 346 patients having treatment at Cumhuriyet University Radiation Oncology Department in 2010 and 2011 were analyzed. The patients were evaluated according to Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) one a week after starting to radiotherapy. Results: There were 167 women (48%) and 179 men (52%). Two-hundred-forty-seven (71%) of the patients were under the age of 65, 99 (29) were above the age of 65. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance situation was 0, 1 and 2 in 278 (80%), 51 (15%) and 19 (5%) patients. Stage 1, 2, 3 and without metastasis stage 4 were found in 30 (9%), 105 (30%), 172 (50%) and 39 (11%) patients. Radiotherapy was applied to 55 head and neck regions (16%), 31 brains (9%), 86 breasts (25%), 30 thoraxes (9%), 52 abdomens (15%) and 90 pelvises (26%). Fifty-four patients (55%) of above the age of 65 received radiotherapy, 45 patients (45%) received chemoradiotherapy. One-hundred-twenty-six patients (51%) of under the age of 65, received radiotherapy and 121 patients (49%) received chemoradiotherapy. For all the patients, the ratio of radiotherapy dependent side effects was 89% (307). The verage time for occurrence was two weeks. When the treatment was over, the number of patients who lost more than five kg was 42 (12%). ECOG difference was seen in 70 (18%) patients. Twelve of them (4%) showed recovery in ECOG performance, 50 (16%) patients showed disruption. Seventy-nine patients (23%) had a interruption in treatment because of the side effects. The occurrence of dermal side effects was higher in the group of patients below the age of 65 and the occurrence of genitourinary side effects was higher in patients above the age of 65. Thedifferences for both of the side effects were statistically significant. Other side effects and time showed no difference between the patients under 65 and patients above 65. Conclusions: The age does not affect the acute side effects of radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy, so that both groups can tolerate radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
We provide evidence that the roughness of chords—a psychoacoustic property resulting from unresolved frequency components—is associated with perceived musical stability (operationalized as finishedness) in participants with differing levels and types of exposure to Western or Western-like music. Three groups of participants were tested in a remote cloud forest region of Papua New Guinea (PNG), and two groups in Sydney, Australia (musicians and non-musicians). Unlike prominent prior studies of consonance/dissonance across cultures, we framed the concept of consonance as stability rather than as pleasantness. We find a negative relationship between roughness and musical stability in every group including the PNG community with minimal experience of musical harmony. The effect of roughness is stronger for the Sydney participants, particularly musicians. We find an effect of harmonicity—a psychoacoustic property resulting from chords having a spectral structure resembling a single pitched tone (such as produced by human vowel sounds)—only in the Sydney musician group, which indicates this feature’s effect is mediated via a culture-dependent mechanism. In sum, these results underline the importance of both universal and cultural mechanisms in music cognition, and they suggest powerful implications for understanding the origin of pitch structures in Western tonal music as well as on possibilities for new musical forms that align with humans’ perceptual and cognitive biases. They also highlight the importance of how consonance/dissonance is operationalized and explained to participants—particularly those with minimal prior exposure to musical harmony.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Purpose Despite the increasingly common view that online brand community (OBC) members are heterogeneous, knowledge concerning the impact of group heterogeneity on community and brand level outcomes is lacking. In response and drawing from organization research, this paper aims to study the consequences of two types of group heterogeneity (i.e. visible heterogeneity and value heterogeneity) on brand community commitment and brand commitment. The moderating role of tenure in a community is also examined. Design/methodology/approach A survey of 467 members of OBCs was conducted, and structural equation modeling was used to test hypotheses. Findings The results show that perceived visible heterogeneity positively affects brand community commitment, whereas perceived value heterogeneity has a negative effect on it. Brand community commitment positively relates to brand commitment; it also mediates the effect of perceived visible heterogeneity and perceived value heterogeneity on brand commitment. Further, the positive effect of visible heterogeneity on brand community commitment is stronger for short-tenure members, but the negative effect of value heterogeneity is stronger for long-tenure members. Practical implications The findings suggest that managers should make efforts to foster visible heterogeneity and reduce value heterogeneity. In addition, managers are advised to emphasize the characteristics that carry different appeal for members of different tenure. Originality/value This research is one of the first few quantitative studies to examine the influence of brand community heterogeneity on community, and especially brand level outcomes. It extends the literature on the effect of brand community on brands and adds to the emerging heterogeneity view of OBCs.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Musical training confers advantages in speech-sound processing, which could play an important role in early childhood education. To understand the mechanisms of this effect, we used event-related potential and behavioral measures in a longitudinal design. Seventy-four Mandarin-speaking children aged 4–5 y old were pseudorandomly assigned to piano training, reading training, or a no-contact control group. Six months of piano training improved behavioral auditory word discrimination in general as well as word discrimination based on vowels compared with the controls. The reading group yielded similar trends. However, the piano group demonstrated unique advantages over the reading and control groups in consonant-based word discrimination and in enhanced positive mismatch responses (pMMRs) to lexical tone and musical pitch changes. The improved word discrimination based on consonants correlated with the enhancements in musical pitch pMMRs among the children in the piano group. In contrast, all three groups improved equally on general cognitive measures, including tests of IQ, working memory, and attention. The results suggest strengthened common sound processing across domains as an important mechanism underlying the benefits of musical training on language processing. In addition, although we failed to find far-transfer effects of musical training to general cognition, the near-transfer effects to speech perception establish the potential for musical training to help children improve their language skills. Piano training was not inferior to reading training on direct tests of language function, and it even seemed superior to reading training in enhancing consonant discrimination.

Introduction: Hospitalization in pediatric patients may caused an anxiety and stress in all age levels. Several techniques can be applied to reduced hospitalization stress in children, such as playing therapy and music therapy. The objective of this study was to analyze the difference of effectiveness between both therapies in reducing the hospitalization stress in 4-6 years old children. Method: A quasy-experimental pre-posttest design was used in this study. There were 18 respondents, divided into three groups, i.e. group one receiving playing therapy, group two receiving music therapy and the last group as control group. Data were collected by using observation sheet before and after intervention to recognize the hospitalization stress. Data were analyzed by using Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann Whitney U Test with significance level of α<0.05. Result: Result showed that playing therapy and music therapy had significant effect to reduce the hospitalization stress with p=0.027 for play therapy, p=0.024 for musical therapy, and p=0.068 for control. Mann Whitney U Test revealed that there were no difference in the effectiveness of play therapy and musical therapy in reducing the hospitalization stress with p=0.009 for play therapy and control group, p=0.012 for music therapy and control group, and p=0.684 for playing therapy and musical therapy. Discussion: It can be concluded that play therapy and musical therapy are equally effective to reduce the hospitalization stress in children. It’s recommended for nurses in pediatric ward to do playg therapy and musical therapy periodically.

AIM: The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of combined low energy laser application and Micro-Osteoperforations versus the effect of the application of each technique separately on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Three parallel groups (each group contained 10 patients) were performed; Group A: In which one side was controlled side, and the other side received micro-osteoperforations (MOPs), Group B: In which one side was controlled side, and the other side received low-level laser therapy (LLLT), Group C: In which one side was controlled side, and the other side received both MOPs and LLLT.
RESULTS: Significant statistical differences were obvious in the rate of canine retraction between each intervention and the control sides as following; the MOPs increased the rate of canine retraction by 1.6 fold more than the control side, LLLT increased the rate of canine retraction by 1.3 fold than the control side, and combination of both techniques resulted in an increase in the rate of canine retraction by 1.8 fold more than the control side.
CONCLUSION: Combination of MOPs and LLLT proved to be more efficient regarding increasing the rate of canine retraction than the application of each technique separately.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
We wished to determine the prevalence of easy bruising in patients taking inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) compared with those who do not. Differences in age, dosage and duration of use of ICS between patients who bruised and those who did not were also investigated. Confidential questionnaire surveys were conducted over a 6 month study period amongst patients attending a respiratory out-patient clinic and taking regular ICS, and a control group of patients attending non-respiratory clinics and not taking any form of corticosteroids. Patients with bleeding disorders or taking oral steroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or anticoagulants were excluded from the study. Questionnaires from 202 respiratory patients using ICS (group A) were compared with 204 non-ICS patients (Group B) of similar age and sex distribution. Significantly more patients in Group A reported easy bruising than in group B (47 vs 22%, relative risk 2.18, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.62-2.94), and it was the commonest reported symptom. In Group A, the patients that reported easy bruising tended to be older (61 vs 52 yrs), on higher daily dosages (1,388 vs 1,067 micrograms) and had been taking inhaled corticosteroids for longer (55 vs 43 months) than non-bruisers. Overall, females reported easy bruising more frequently than males in both groups. However, comparing Group A with Group B, males taking ICS had a higher relative risk for bruising than females (males, relative risk 5.80, 95% CI 2.38-14.13; females, relative risk 1.80, 95% CI 1.32-2.44).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Purpose: to reveal the influence of the use of musical accompaniment in training on the psychophysiological functions of rugby players of 16-17 years of age. Material. Twenty rugby players from the sports club "KhTF" (16-17 years) took part in the study, 10 athletes entered the control group, 10 entered the experimental group. The experiment was carried out for two months during the preparatory period at the stage of specialized basic training. The experimental group was trained with musical accompaniment. At the beginning and at the end of the experiment, psychophysiological testing was conducted. The following tests were used: the parameters of a simple and complex reaction in various modes of signal feeding, indicators of efficiency and the nervous system were determined. Intergroup and intra-group differences in the tests were determined. Results. The construction of the training and training process in rugby with the musical accompaniment of the training sessions had a positive effect on the psychophysiological state of the athletes. In representatives of the experimental group in the "Response of choice, the number of errors" test, the result was significantly improved. After the experiment, the control and experimental groups became significantly different. Similar data were obtained in the tests "Response time of choice in the feedback mode" and "Mental stability according to the Schulte test". The obtained data testify to the advisability of using musical accompaniment in the training of young rugby players to optimize the psychophysiological state. Conclusions. The developed method of using musical accompaniment is an effective, accessible and reliable means of improving the psychophysiological state of 16-16-year-old rugby players. The use of musical accompaniment positively affects mental endurance, the reaction rate in various modes of signal delivery, stability and strength of the nervous system.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In intensive swine production systems,, the practice of regrouping unfamiliar pigs is common, often leading to aggressive behavior. Although the effect of different musical genres composed for humans has been evaluated in pigs to mitigate aggression, there have been few attempts to create music specifically for pigs. Here, we assess whether sensory stimulation through music, created by adapting the acoustic parameters in the sound mix, induces changes in the aggressive behaviors of pigs during regrouping. Six litters of 10-week-old piglets were randomly selected and assigned to different treatments. The control group (Group A) received no intervention, while Group B was exposed to music for two continuous hours in the morning and afternoon from the time of regrouping. Group C received musical stimulation for one continuous hour in the morning following regrouping. A significant reduction in the frequency and duration of aggressive behaviors was observed in the groups that received musical stimulation during regrouping. Additionally, social, and individual play behaviors showed a decrease in the musical stimulation groups. These findings provide evidence for the effectiveness of created music as a strategy in reducing aggressive behavior during pig regrouping, which can enhance the welfare of pigs and offer a practical solution for pig producers to minimize aggression and its associated negative impacts.

Objective. In order to investigate the clinical effect of side entry laparoscopic splenectomy in the treatment of splenomegaly caused by neurodegenerative diseases. Methods. 62 patients who underwent endoscopic splenectomy in our hospital from July 2020 to June 2021 were randomly divided into two groups, including 3 cases in the observation group and 31 cases in the reference group. Clinical trials were conducted to compare different laparoscopic surgery methods, and follow-up investigation records were made; the drainage time and drainage volume, postoperative bleeding volume, postoperative complications, and comprehensive effective rate of the two groups were observed and analyzed. Results. Most of the drainage volume in the observation group was less than 800 ml, and most of the drainage volume in the reference group was more than 500 ml. Compared with the reference group, the average drainage time of patients in the observation group was lower, mostly within 6 days, while the drainage time of patients in the reference group was more than 8 days. The amount of bleeding in the observation group was mostly about 500 ml, with the largest number in the range of 300-500 ml, while the amount of bleeding in the reference group was mostly 800 ml and above, with the largest number in the range of 500-800 ml. The incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the reference group. The effective, markedly effective and comprehensive effective rates of patients in the observation group were higher than those in the reference group, and the ineffective rate and deterioration rate were also lower. Conclusion. The treatment of lateral laparoscopic splenectomy is very safe and effective and has obvious advantages, because it can reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications and provide a good basis for the recovery of patients. It is worthy to be widely used in clinical splenic surgery.

Introduction: >Antidepressants are one of the most commonly prescribed psychotropic drugs. Six SSRIs are approved for various disorders. SSRIs have fewer side effects owing to its selective blocking the serotonin transporter. Nonetheless SSRI has several troublesome side effects, including nausea, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness, sexual side effects, tachycardia, or weight gain. Methodology: This cross-sectional comprised of 200 patients who were divided into two groups. Group 1 had participants who had received SSRI for less than 6 weeks duration and group 2 had patients who had taken SSRI for more than 6 months. Side effects of medications were recorded using UKU side effect rating scale and causality was ascertained using Naranjo adverse drug reaction probability scale. Results: Among the early side effect group consisting of 100 patients, 40% of patients reported at least one side effect. Tension/inner unrest, nausea and vomiting and orgastic dysfunction was the most common side effect reported. 30% of patients in late side effect group had at least one side effect. Orgastic dysfunction, decreased sexual desire and weight gain were the main side effects reported. All the reported side effects were probably associated due to the prescribed SSRI, as inferred from Naranjo causality scoring system. Conclusion: Escitalopram was the most commonly prescribed SSRI among all the SSRIs. Paroxetine and fluvoxamine were the least prescribed SSRIs. Sertraline was found to cause maximum side effects in the early group and fluoxetine caused the most side effects in the late group. Tension/Inner unrest was the most commonly reported side effects followed by sexual side effects.
