Prenatal Music Exposure Induces Long-Term Neural Effects
2013
We investigated the neural correlates induced by prenatal exposure to melodies using brains' event-related potentials (ERPs). During the last trimester of pregnancy, the mothers in the learning group played the ‘Twinkle twinkle little star’ -melody 5 times per week. After birth and again at the age of 4 months, we played the infants a modified melody in which some of the notes were changed while ERPs to unchanged and changed notes were recorded. The ERPs were also recorded from a control group, who received no prenatal stimulation. Both at birth and at the age of 4 months, infants in the learning group had stronger ERPs to the unchanged notes than the control group. Furthermore, the ERP amp…
Prevalence of Hearing Impairment Among High-Risk Newborns in Ibadan, Nigeria
2018
The burden of severe hearing impairment is increasing with two-thirds of these hearing impaired people residing in developing countries. Newborn hearing screening helps to identify early, babies who need intervention in order to prevent future disability. Neither universal nor targeted hearing screening programme is available in Nigeria. Objectives: This study was carried out to assess the prevalence of hearing impairment among high-risk newborns in UCH and the associated risk factors. Materials and Methods: Two hundred one newborns in the neonatal unit of UCH with risk factors for hearing impairment had hearing screening done using automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) at 30, 45, an…
Essential of audiology: screening and postscreening
2014
Newborn hearing screening is a type of screening testfor the early detection of hearing loss. It can recognizewith good accuracy newborns affected by hearingimpairment allowing an early diagnosis and interventionand avoiding cognitive and linguistic deficits [1-6].The incidence of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss(SNHL) in Sicily is 2.35 cases per 1000 newborns; thisvalue increases to 2.95 if we consider also unilateral SNHL[2,3] and to 10 cases per 1000 births among infants at risk[7-9].A correct newborn hearing screening programme isbased on different protocols depending on the presence/absence of audiologic risk factors:† Newborns without risk factors: [1-3]Initial Hearing Screening (…
Aportaciones de la neurociencia cognitiva a la estimulación auditiva musical de 0 a 6 años
2016
Este artículo forma parte de una investigación más amplia acerca de la actitud y la aptitud que los maestros generalistas de 2º ciclo de Educación Infantil de los colegios públicos de Valencia tienen para estimular auditivamente a sus alumnos a partir de la discriminación auditiva y la escucha comprensiva de las audiciones musicales, con el fin de desarrollar el oído interno y la capacidad atencional. A lo largo de este trabajo se explica cómo afecta al cerebro infantil una continua estimulación sensorial, concretamente la auditiva, desde el ámbito neurológico
Desarrollo de la competencia lectora en alumnado con discapacidad auditiva: una revisión bibliográfica
2019
espanolEn estas lineas se presenta una revision de la literatura existente sobre intervenciones enfocadas a mejorar la competencia lectora del alumnado con discapacidad auditiva, siendo seleccionados 17 articulos. Los programas que implicaron mejoras en la habilidad lectora del alumnado son aquellos que priorizan la promocion de las habilidades de alfabetizacion y el desarrollo de la conciencia fonologica. Se concluye que son numerosas las intervenciones exitosas, pero es necesario introducir modificaciones como aumentar la duracion e incluir un seguimiento post intervencion, homogeneizar los grupos segun grado de afectacion y sintomatologia, extrapolar la intervencion al contexto familiar …
La educación auditiva como eje vertebrador de la educación musical en la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria
2013
El presente trabajo se enmarca dentro de un estudio de mayores dimensiones motivado por el interés de los autores en la didáctica de la audición musical, convencidos de que los principios fundamentales sobre los que se debería apoyar la educación musical actualmente en la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria son, por una parte, la necesidad de una mayor contribución de la misma a una educación integradora de todas las dimensiones del ser humano, y por otra, la conveniencia de otorgarle un mayor protagonismo a la educación auditiva en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la materia de música en dicha etapa educativa. El propósito es dar respuesta a una serie de interrogantes que surgen en torn…
Ligand Ratio Plays a Critical Role in the Design of Optimal Multifunctional Gold Nanoclusters for Targeted Gastric Cancer Therapy
2021
Nanodrug delivery systems (NDDSs) based on water-soluble and atomically precise gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) are under the spotlight due to their great potential in cancer theranostics. Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most aggressive cancers with a low early diagnosis rate, with drug therapy being the primary means to overcome its increasing incidence. In this work, we designed and characterized a set of 28 targeted nanosystems based on Au144(p-MBA)60 (p-MBA = para-mercaptobenzoic acid) nanocluster to be potentially employed as combination therapy in GC treatment. The proposed multifunctional AuNCs are functionalized with cytotoxic drugs (5-fluorouracil and epirubicin) or inhibitors of diffe…
Sporta spēļu nacionālo čempionātu videotiešraižu pieprasījums un piedāvājums Latvijas interneta un televīzijas vidē
2015
Bakalaura darba ''Sporta spēļu nacionālo čempionātu videotiešraižu pieprasījums un piedāvājums Latvijas interneta un televīzijas vidē'' mērķis ir noskaidrot, cik liels ir mediju videotiešraižu piedāvājums un auditorijas pieprasījums pēc nacionālo sporta spēļu čempionātu translācijām, kā arī, kādi faktori ietekmē to, ka aizvien vairāk translāciju veido interneta tiešraižu kompānijas, bet tradicionālās televīzijas to dara retāk. Darba teorētiskā daļa ietver teoriju par pieprasījumu un piedāvājumu, televīzijas un jauno mediju ietekmi sporta dzīvē, kā arī auditorijas lomu sportā un mediju darbībā. Metodoloģija ietver ekspertu intervijas, sekundāro datu analīzi un dziļās intervijas ar sporta aud…
Constructing the Audit Risk Assessment by the Audit Team Leader When Planning: Using Fuzzy Theory
2021
The aim of this study is to construct the assessment of the expected audit risk by the audit team leader (ATL) during the planification phase of the audit. The ATL plays an important role within the audit, and even more so regarding small and medium-sized (SME) audit firms. The audit risk assessment is critical as relying more (less) on internal controls implemented by the client leads to performing less (more) substantive audit procedures. This is determined by the ATL based on their professional judgement and previous experience. The use of fuzzy theory has powerful potential into the audit arena, as the audit risk assessment (outcome) is critically related to the auditors’ judgement and …
I know what i like when i see it:Likability is distinct from pleasantness since early stages of multimodal emotion evaluation
2021
Liking and pleasantness are common concepts in psychological emotion theories and in everyday language related to emotions. Despite obvious similarities between the terms, several empirical and theoretical notions support the idea that pleasantness and liking are cognitively different phenomena, becoming most evident in the context of emotion regulation and art enjoyment. In this study it was investigated whether liking and pleasantness indicate behaviourally measurable differences, not only in the long timespan of emotion regulation, but already within the initial affective responses to visual and auditory stimuli. A cross-modal affective priming protocol was used to assess whether there i…
