Understanding illnesses through a film festival: an observational study
2019
Abstract Audio-visual materials play a fundamental role in the context of education, care and clinical treatment, as they seem to have a high impact on public awareness. This study aims to describe what messages are perceived by the society at an International Festival of Short Films and Art on Diseases that may help to understand difficult topics, such as illness, dying and suffering. Through an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, using full participant observation and an open, self-administered questionnaire, 32 short films were analysed during a healthcare art festival. Categories were developed using inductive content analysis. The message perceived by the participants, a…
Speed on the dance floor : auditory and visual cues for musical tempo
2016
Musical tempo is most strongly associated with the rate of the beat or “tactus,” which may be defined as the most prominent rhythmic periodicity present in the music, typically in a range of 1.67–2 Hz. However, other factors such as rhythmic density, mean rhythmic inter-onset interval, metrical (accentual) structure, and rhythmic complexity can affect perceived tempo (Drake et al., 1999 and London, 2011Drake, Gros, & Penel, 1999; London, 2011). Visual information can also give rise to a perceived beat/tempo (Iversen, et al., 2015), and auditory and visual temporal cues can interact and mutually influence each other (Soto-Faraco and Kingstone, 2004 and Spence, 2015). A five-part experiment w…
Multisensorial Perception in Chronic Migraine and the Role of Medication Overuse.
2020
Multisensory processing can be assessed by measuring susceptibility to crossmodal illusions such as the Sound-Induced Flash Illusion (SIFI). When a single flash is accompanied by 2 or more beeps, it is perceived as multiple flashes (fission illusion); conversely, a fusion illusion is experienced when more flashes are matched with a single beep, leading to the perception of a single flash. Such illusory perceptions are associated to crossmodal changes in visual cortical excitability. Indeed, increasing occipital cortical excitability, by means of transcranial electrical currents, disrupts the SIFI (ie, fission illusion). Similarly, a reduced fission illusion was shown in patients with episod…
Audiovisual constructs of Paralympic Games : scalarity and camera angle
2014
This research will analyze the variables differentiating between the audiovisual television of the XIII edition of the Paralympic Games and the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, held in Beijing from the 7th of September to the 17th, 2008. This study will serve as a methodological basis for similar future research. By means of a qualitative and quantitative methodology, this study also focuses on determining if TV representations of Paralympic sportspersons favour their social integration or if, on the contrary, lead to higher stigmatization.
Audiovizuālo mediju lokalizācijas procesa salīdzinājums Latvijā un Igaunijā: ierunāšana un subtitri, nākotnes perspektīvas
2018
Digitalizācija ir kļuvusi par vadošo spēku visā pasaulē, un audiovizuālie mediji ir ieguvuši nozīmīgu lomu izklaides un informācijas nozarēs, tādēļ veids, kā šie mediji tiek patērēti, mainās arvien straujāk. Tādās nelielās valstīs kā Latvija un Igaunija lokalizācija un tulkošana ir svarīgas nozares. Ja cilvēki šajās valstīs vēlas patērēt medijus no citām kultūrām un nācijām, tiem bieži vien nepieciešams tulkojums. Maģistra darbā “Audiovizuālo mediju lokalizācijas procesa salīdzinājums Latvijā un Igaunijā: ierunāšana un subtitri, nākotnes perspektīvas” tiks atklātas un analizētas atšķirības starp šīm abām valstīm audiovizuālo mediju lokalizācijas kontekstā.
¿Mozart era un mutante?: propuestas didácticas sobre la música preexistente en el cine de superhéroes.
2019
Con el inicio del siglo XXI se produjo el comienzo de una edad dorada para el cine de superhéroes; especialmente, en las películas basadas en cómics de la editorial Marvel. Su éxito se debe, sobre todo, a la adaptación al cine del concepto de 'universo compartido', lo que permite mostrar personajes y situaciones interrelacionadas. Ello ofrece la opción de conectar con diversas promociones de alumnos, puesto que se trata de personajes presentes en los cines durante las últimas dos décadas. Como muestra de ello, en esta propuesta se incluirán fragmentos de dos películas distantes en el tiempo: 'X-Men 2' (2003) y 'Thor: Ragnarok' (2017). La popularidad creciente de estos filmes se ve intensifi…
The genotypes and virulence attributes of C. albicans isolates from oral leukoplakia
2021
Background There is a debate as to whether some types of oral leucoplakias (OL) are caused by Candida species, and whether they contribute to the malignant transformation, associated with a minority of such lesions. As no detailed population analysis of yeast isolates from OL is available, we evaluated the virulence attributes, and genotypes of 35 C. albicans from OL, and compared their genotypes with 18 oral isolates from healthy individuals. Material and Methods The virulence traits evaluated were esterase, phospholipase, proteinase, haemolysin and coagulase production, and phenotypic switching activity, and yeast adherence and biofilm formation. DNA from OL and control yeasts were evalua…
Interaction of sight and sound in the perception and experience of musical performance
2016
Recently, Vuoskoski, Thompson, Clarke, and Spence (2014) demonstrated that visual kinematic performance cues may be more important than auditory performance cues in terms of observers’ ratings of expressivity perceived in audiovisual excerpts of piano playing, and that visual kinematic performance cues had crossmodal effects on the perception of auditory expressivity. The present study was designed to extend these findings, and to provide additional information about the roles of sight and sound in the perception and experience of musical performance. Experiment 1 investigated the relative contributions of auditory and visual kinematic performance features to participants’ subjective emotio…
Models de traducció literària i audiovisual en català col·loquial: el cas de «Jackie Brown» de Quentin Tarantino
2015
Aquest article tracta dels models de traducció col·loquial cap al català en el cas de la versió doblada (1997), la versió subtitulada (1997) i el guió traduït (1998) de Jackie Brown (1997) de Quentin Tarantino. El nucli de l’article és l’anàlisi i la comparació de la fonètica, la morfologia, la sintaxi i el lèxic de cada traducció catalana, que s’emmarca en els models lingüístics i de traducció vigents en el període objecte d’estudi. La conclusió a la qual s’arriba és que les tres traduccions utilitzen models de llengua col·loquial diferents. El guió traduït basteix un model trencador, sobretot en qüestions de representació fonètica i en el lèxic castellà que utilitza. La versió doblada s’a…
Dynamics of brain activation during learning of syllable-symbol paired associations.
2019
| openaire: EC/H2020/641652/EU//ChildBrain Initial stages of reading acquisition require the learning of letter and speech sound combinations. While the long-term effects of audio-visual learning are rather well studied, relatively little is known about the short-term learning effects at the brain level. Here we examined the cortical dynamics of short-term learning using magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) in two experiments that respectively addressed active and passive learning of the association between shown symbols and heard syllables. In experiment 1, learning was based on feedback provided after each trial. The learning of the audio-visual associations was c…
