Personality and music preferences: the influence of personality traits on preferences regarding musical elements.

2005

The purpose of this scientific study was to determine how personality traits, as classified by Cattell, influence preferences regarding musical elements. The subject group consisted of 145 students, male and female, chosen at random from different Polish universities. For the purpose of determining their personality traits the participants completed the 16PF Questionnaire (Cattell, Saunders, & Stice, 1957; Russel & Karol, 1993), in its Polish adaptation by Choynowski (Nowakowska, 1970). The participants' musical preferences were determined by their completing a Questionnaire of Musical Preferences (specifically created for the purposes of this research), in which respondents indicated their…

Orientational order of Langmuir–Blodgett films as determined by fluorescence anisotropy

1989

The orientational order parameters 〈P2〉 and 〈P4〉, of cadmium stearate Langmuir–Blodgett multilayers have been calculated from steady state fluorescence anisotropy experiments. It has been shown that it is valid to model the polarization components using the assumptions that the fluorescent probes are axially symmetric, the film is azimuthally symmetric within the plane, and that the rotational motion is slow enough to be neglected. Although the data do not preclude a dependence of anisotropy on thickness, within the sample‐to‐sample variations, there is no significant effect of thickness on orientational order. The order parameters for newly deposited films are 〈P2〉=0.33 and 〈P4〉=0.02. The …

Effects of predator and shelter conditioning on hatchery-reared white seabream Diplodus sargus (L., 1758) released at sea

2012

Abstract The behavioural deficit of hatchery reared (HR) fish used for stock enhancement is the main cause of their low survival in the wild. In this study the effects of predator and shelter conditioning on survival and dispersal of HR white seabream ( Diplodus sargus ) released at sea were investigated. The hypotheses were that conditioned white seabream would avoid predators more efficiently and would be more capable to shelter, showing higher survival and smaller dispersal than naive fish. Six thousand HR white seabream (6.32 ± 0.93 cm total length) were allocated in twelve plastic tanks and divided in four experimental groups: three groups were conditioned with a predator, a refuge or …

Elīzijas lietošanas variācijas analīze Borisa Džonsona un Žistēna Trido runās

2022

Veidojot saistītu runu, jāņem vērā, ka bieži vien vairāk tiek uzsvērts konkrētās runas konteksts, nevis pareizas gramatikas un izrunas īpatnības. Šādās runās var novērot daudzas saistītās runas īpatnības atkarībā no runātāja emocionalitātes, attieksmes pret konkrētās runas ideju, valodas variācijām, runas tempa, intonācijas utt. Šajā pētījumā galvenā uzmanība pievērsta runas iezīmei elīzija, kas rodas, ja saistītās runas veidošanas laikā tiek izlaista kāda skaņa. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt saistītās runas pazīmes - elīzijas īpatnības, vēsturiskos un mūsdienu aspektus un analizēt šīs pazīmes sastopamības variācijas Lielbritānijas un Kanādas premjerministru runās, ņemot vērā runas formalit…

Współpraca międzysektorowa w "smart city" ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem roli NGO

2018

Cities, in order to meet the diverse needs of their residents and to cope with urban problems, need not only to create innovative Solutions, but also open to all urban actors local government policies. This aim is especially important to help meet an intelligent city s goals. The paper presents the assumptions of the smart city concept and describes a role of an intersectoral cooperation for a city benefit particularly emphasizing a role of NGOs in it. There were also placed two case studies of cities of Lodz and Cracow, presenting the examples of cities undertaking an intersectoral cooperation (especially with NGOs) and developing strategies based on smart city concept.

Radošais mācīšanas/mācīšanās stils angļu valodas pasniegšanā

2015

Šis Bakalaura darbsizmeklē radošuma pielietošanas nozīmi angļu valodas pasniegšanā. Šī darba mērķis ir izzināt radošos valodas mācīšanas paņēmienus un novērot kā tie tiek pielietoti vairākās angļu valodas nodarbībās. Pētījumā tika izmantotas tādas metodes kā teorētiskā un gadījuma izpēte. Lai pierādītu mērķi, tika pielietota metodiskās triangulācijas metode – šī darba autors novēroja trīs trešās klases angļu valodas nodarbības no dažādām skolām, kā vadlīnijas izmantojot paša autora veidotu nodarbību novērtējuma lapu, un, pēc nodarbībām, skolnieki aizpildīja aptaujas lapu, kas sniedza viņiem iespēju izpaust savas domas, grūtības un vēlmes attiecībā uz angļu valodas nodarbībām. Beidzot pētīju…

Quadratic Nonlinear Behaviour of Various Langmuir-Blodgett Molecules

1989

The Langmuir-Blodgett (L-B) technique is well known as a method of building-up ordered arrays of organic molecules, and especially as a means of imposing a noncentrosymmetric structure from molecules that crystallize in a centrosymmetric space group(1–3). L-B films for use in quadratic nonlinear optics can be ordered in a statistically noncentrosymmetric lattice. The method involves the compression of a mono-layer of the organic molecule, spread on top of a water surface, into a two-dimensional solid, followed by the repeated dipping of the substrate to be coated into and out of the subphase. Monolayers may be deposited onto the substrate both on immersion and withdrawal, resulting in a cen…

Expectancy in Sami Yoiks revisited: The role of data-driven and schema-driven knowledge in the formation of melodic expectations

2009

This study extends a previous study concerning melodic expectations in North Sami yoiks (Krumhansl et al., 2000) in which a comparison between expert and non-expert listeners demonstrated the existence of a core set of principles governing melodic expectancies. The previous findings are reconsidered using non-Western listeners (traditional healers from South Africa) in a modeling investigation. Comparison of different models made it possible to separate the role of data-driven and schema-driven models in melodic expectancies and to reveal any possible Western bias in previous studies. The results of the experiment, in which African listeners rated the fitness of probe-tones as continuation…

Catalytic properties of Ag-PolyaminoβCD NPs for reduction of nitroarenes

2014

The reduction of nitroarenes is a key reaction involved in the synthesis of several compounds such as drugs, pesticides or dyes. During the last years Pd and Ag NPs have been used as catalysts to carry out this reaction with NaBH4. However several mechanistic aspects of the process are still unclear; in particular there is not agreement about the kinetic order of these reactions, whether 0-th or 1-st order in the substrate[1]. The aim of this work is to use a novel catalytic systems constituted by Ag-NPs coated with different polyamino-βCDs (Figure 1)[2], to carry out the reduction of some aromatic nitrocompounds using NaBH4 as the reducing agent, and to determine the kinetic features of th…
