The pleasure evoked by sad music is mediated by feelings of being moved

2017

Why do we enjoy listening to music that makes us sad? This question has puzzled music psychologists for decades, but the paradox of “pleasurable sadness” remains to be solved. Recent findings from a study investigating the enjoyment of sad films suggest that the positive relationship between felt sadness and enjoyment might be explained by feelings of being moved (Hanich et al., 2014). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether feelings of being moved also mediated the enjoyment of sad music. In Experiment 1, 308 participants listened to five sad music excerpts and rated their liking and felt emotions. A multilevel mediation analysis revealed that the initial positive relations…

Evidence of autoinduction heterogeneity via expression of the agr system of listeria monocytogenes at the single-cell level

2011

ABSTRACT To investigate if the primary function of the Agr system of Listeria monocytogenes is to monitor cell density, we followed Agr expression in batch cultures, in which the autoinducer concentration was uniform, and in biofilms. Expression was heterogeneous, suggesting that the primary function of Agr is not to monitor population density.

Literāro tekstu izmantošana vācu valodas ka svešvalodas stundās vidusskolā

2018

Diplomdarbs „Literāro tekstu izmantošana vācu valodas kā svešvalodas stundās vidusskolā” ir veltīts skolēnu lasīšanas spēju attīstībai vācu valodas stundās, izmantojot literāros tekstus. Tēmas izvēle ir pamatota ar to, ka literatūras nelasīšana ir bieži sastopama parādība mūsdienu pusaudžu vidū. Tādēļ mūsdienu svešvalodu pedagogu mērķis ir ne tikai attīstīt bērna lasītprasmi, bet arī veicināt skolēnu interesi par lasīšanu. Darba gaitā tika izpētīta zinātniskā un metodiskā literatūra, atlasīti atbilstoši literārie teksti, izstrādāti stundu plāni un veikta pedagoģiskā izmēģinājumdarbība. Darba praktiskajā daļā ietverta izglītojamo aptaujas analīze. Tika konstatēts, ka literāro tekstu lasīšana…

Increasing temperature and productivity change biomass, trophic pyramids and community‐level omega‐3 fatty acid content in subarctic lake food webs

2021

Climate change in the Arctic is outpacing the global average and land-use is intensifying due to exploitation of previously inaccessible or unprofitable natural resources. A comprehensive understanding of how the joint effects of changing climate and productivity modify lake food web structure, biomass, trophic pyramid shape and abundance of physiologically essential biomolecules (omega-3 fatty acids) in the biotic community is lacking. We conducted a space-for-time study in 20 subarctic lakes spanning a climatic (+3.2 degrees C and precipitation: +30%) and chemical (dissolved organic carbon: +10 mg/L, total phosphorus: +45 mu g/L and total nitrogen: +1,000 mu g/L) gradient to test how temp…

Social Competence and Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity of School-Aged Children through a Creative Physical Education Intervention

2019

Traditional school physical education focuses on physical skills or strategies with an expectation that learning these skills lead to healthier lifestyle outside physical education classes, while children’s overall moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is widely decreasing. Creative Physical Education (CPE) understands physical education more holistically, as the central pedagogical element of movement is social learning. The current study examined the development of social competence in school physical education (PE) and total moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) participation through a CPE-based intervention. Participants were 363 (177 intervention, 186 control) children …

Converging Perspectives in the LESLLA Context

2013

There has been a surge in Low Educated Second Language and Literacy Acquisition (LESLLA) learners in adult language programs. In response to the growth of this learner population in language classes, there has been increased interest in the professionalization of the field of adult education specific to work with LESLLA learners. As researcher and practitioner awareness and understanding of the LESLLA context continues to expand, necessary and qualitative transformations of second language (L2) teaching and L2 teacher education are taking place. This article provides a glimpse into a larger ethnographic case study that explores the teaching worlds of two LESLLA teachers working in community…

In-beam γ-ray spectroscopy of low- and medium-spin levels in 211Po

2017

The structure of the low- and medium-spin levels of the 211Po nucleus have been studied with in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy with the 208Pb(α,n)211Po fusion-evaporation reaction. The level scheme was further extended with levels of the configurations π(h9/2)22+−4+⊗νg9/2, π(h9/2)28+⊗νg9/2, π(h9/2)22+−4+⊗νi11/2, π(h9/2)22+−4+⊗νj15/2, π(h9/2f7/2)8+⊗νg9/2, and π(h9/2)20+⊗ν(g9/2)20+(s1/2)−1. The single-particle neutron states νd5/2 and νs1/2 were also identified. Furthermore, a number of states feeding the low-spin structures were added. peerReviewed

Clinical Assessment of the Effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy on Coronally Advanced Flap Procedure in the Management of Isolated Gingival Recession

2022

The aim of this randomized, controlled split-mouth clinical trial was to assess the effect of LLLT on wound healing after modified coronally advanced flap (MCAF) procedure for treatment of isolated recession-type defects. Fifteen patients with isolated bilaterally symmetrical gingival recessions (Miller’s Class I or Class II, or a combination of both) were enrolled in this study. After a modified, coronally advanced flap technique was implemented, a diode laser (810 nm) with a power of 120 mW irradiated the inner surface of the flap and the outer surface of the flap (low-level laser therapy—LLLT) after suturing for 5 min. This was repeated for the following four consecutive days…

Effectiveness of low-level laser therapy on pain intensity after lower third molar extraction

2019

Purpose This double-blind crossover study compared analgesic efficacy of pre-and postoperative administration of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), using a postsurgical dental pain model. Materials and Methods Patients requiring surgical extraction of lower third molar in 2 separate stages under local anesthesia were recruited. During first stage all subjects received LLLT 15 minutes before the extraction and had Placebo Laser (laser probe application with the laser switched off) treatment immediately after completion of the suture. The second stage was carried out after 2 months of washout, patients were crossed over to receive the opposite treatment on the contralateral third molar; thus eac…
