The Relation Between Emotional Valence and Performance Motion of the Keyboard Instrument

2013

This study examined relations of the emotion and part of the upper body during the keyboard instrument performance. The study showed the trace from the lateral direction to watch movement. As a result, there was a difference in the emotional expression of the performance in the head and upper arm. In this way, we understood that the part except the hand was important to emotional expression in the keyboard instrument performance. The future investigation is going to analyze the front.

Using language to help people, or using people to help language? A capabilities framework of language policy

2023

Language policy is a hugely diverse field, united only by the intent to influence language use in some way. Much early research in the field asserted that language policy had an emancipatory drive, to empower downtrodden minorities against the cruelty or indifference of majoritarian politics. But over the years, critical accounts have increasingly questioned who precisely benefits from promoting minoritized languages. Indeed, can the language itself, valorized as an emblem of heritage, sometimes become invested with its own separate value? Can that value even outweigh concerns over improving people's prospects and capabilities? In what follows, I compare that balance between people's capabi…

A bibliometric approach to finding fields that co-evolved with information technology

2020

Among the declining industries, for example music industry, some have been revived by information technology (IT). At the same time, in academic fields, some have expected co-evolutions between IT and other fields to cause the resurgence of either field. In this research, the clustering of citation networks with 14,438 academic papers resulted in the identification of 28 academic fields in the areas “Computer Science” or “Information Science and Library Science.” Co-evolutions between these 28 fields and citing fields to the 28 fields were evaluated by an investigation of contents; a methodology to search co-evolutions was also proposed. This paper proposes that pairs of academic fields (wi…

The effect of the genetic background on phage infectivity in an encapsulated host

2023

Los bacteriófagos desempeñan un papel clave en la ecología y evolución bacterianas y son potenciales antimicrobianos. Sin embargo, los factores determinantes de la especificidad fago-hospedador siguen siendo poco conocidos. Debido a la prevalencia de bacterias encapsuladas, la cápsula es la primera barrera que encuentran muchos fagos. Esta capa, normalmente de polisacáridos, puede bloquear el acceso de los fagos a los receptores de su pared celular. Para superarla, algunos fagos codifican dominios depolimerasa (Dpos) específicos en sus proteínas de unión a receptores. En este trabajo, hemos cuantificado la predictibilidad de las interacciones fago-bacteria basándonos en el tipo de locus cap…

Intellectual Capital as a Key Factor of Socio-economic Development of Regions and Countries

2013

Abstract The main goal of the paper is to present the concept of intellectual capital (IC) from regional perspective and define intangible assets as knowledge that can be converted into value or profit. Most of the measurement methods designed by now apply for measuring the intellectual capital at corporate level. Some efforts are being made to present the IC concept in the regional perspective. Development of research on a new regional approach to the intellectual capital theory has been noticed. A sample model of IC for countries and its main sub-components have been presented as well. Some selected knowledge indicators for measuring intellectual capital at national level have been illust…

The Value Creation Process in Family Firms. A Dynamic Capabilities Approach

2008

While most family-business research has focused on studies related with trans-generational value creation, a gap still exists in understanding how this value is generated across genera-tions, especially in dynamic markets. The present research offers new insights through the lens of dynamic capabilities, which are generated by knowledge and in turn generate entre-preneurial performance for value creation in family business. Family inertia is considered to be a factor preventing the creation of dynamic capabilities. It depends on the family-business culture, where paternalism and entrepreneurial drive influence family inertia posi-tively and negatively, respectively. Four family firms from S…

The muqarnas ceiling of the Palatina Chapel in Palermo

2018

St. Peter’s Basilica inside the Royal Palace of Palermo, known as the Palatina Chapel, is one of the most popular medieval monuments in Sicily. Built between 1130 and 1163, it contains interesting wooden framings that represent both bearing and finishing structures. Studies about the Arab-Norman church have often concentrated on the very rich and suggestive decorative mosaic apparatus of walls and floorings, as well as the pictorial cycle of wooden ceilings. Knowledge about the constructive techniques adopted and, in particular, about the realization of the coverings, is very limited: there are wooden floors built at different levels, vaults and wooden ceilings and among these is the portio…
