The Role of Music in Everyday Life During the First Wave of the Coronavirus Pandemic : A Mixed-Methods Exploratory Study
2021
Although music is known to be a part of everyday life and a resource for mood and emotion management, everyday life has changed significantly for many due to the global coronavirus pandemic, making the role of music in everyday life less certain. An online survey in which participants responded to Likert scale questions as well as providing free text responses was used to explore how participants were engaging with music during the first wave of the pandemic, whether and how they were using music for mood regulation, and how their engagement with music related to their experiences of worry and anxiety resulting from the pandemic. Results indicated that, for the majority of participants, whi…
“I hate this part right here”: Embodied, subjective experiences of listening to aversive music
2021
Although the majority of previous research on music-induced responses has focused on pleasurable experiences and preferences, it is undeniable that music is capable of eliciting strong dislike and aversion as well. To date, only limited research has been carried out to understand the subjective experience of listening to aversive music. This qualitative study explored people’s negative experiences associated with music listening, with the aim to understand what kinds of emotions, affective states, and physical responses are associated with listening to aversive music. One hundred and two participants provided free descriptions of (1) musical features of aversive music; (2) subjective physi…
The use of mobile technology for online shopping and entertainment among older adults in Finland
2017
Older adults use mobile devices for online shopping as often as younger adults.Mobile-based entertainment use is most typical for younger male adults.Older female adults use mobile-based entertainment least frequently.Age, household structure and high education predict mobile-based online shopping.Mobile-based entertainment use is best predicted by age and gender. Older adults are becoming an important market segment for all internet-based services, but few studies to date have considered older adults as online shoppers and users of entertainment media. Utilising the concept of life course, this article investigates the use of mobile technologies for online shopping and entertainment among …
Les représentations du livre numérique chez les professionnels de l’information-documentation
2014
L’émergence du livre numérique dans le paysage culturel français contribue à progressivement redessiner nombre de pratiques professionnelles. Parmi les sphères professionnelles directement concernées, celle de l’information-documentation occupe une place particulière. Nous présentons ici le résultat de travaux de recherche menés auprès de professionnels, bibliothécaires ou enseignants documentalistes, usagers ou non-usagers de dispositifs de lecture numérique, afin de questionner leurs représentations du livre numérique ainsi que leurs perceptions des évolutions futures de leurs métiers.
Enseñanza de las ciencias : revista de investigación y experiencias didácticas
2021
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Resumen en inglés El objetivo principal es la identificación de las representaciones de los estudiantes sobre la idea de cantidad de sustancia y para ver en qué medida la enseñanza de química establecida en las escuelas secundarias contribuye a darles una visión más atomista de la materia. Los resultados obtenidos confirman que los estudiantes, al completar sus estudios, prácticamente no han cambiado su concepción "globalista" de la cantidad de sustancias, y solo la mitad de los que estudiaron la química domina la actividad necesaria para poder entender el concepto de mol.

Music-listening as an intervention for chronic pain relief : a case study
2014
The field of audioanalgesia is vast. Research shows a combination of pharmacology and music interventions helps to reduce anxiety and stress, resulting in lower levels of pain, pre- and post-operatively. This study is an exploration of the use of music-listening as a method of pain relief with the knowledge that certain types of music aid in reaching altered states of consciousness. In reaching this state of relaxation, the realisation one’s own methods of pain management and goals towards better health are easier. This paper also discusses the importance of collaboration between various ways of practicing medicine, as well as how vital it is to be aware of one’s body and external stresses …
Control of Growth and Persistence of Listeria monocytogenes and β-Lactam-Resistant Escherichia coli by Thymol in Food Processing Settings
2020
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of thymol in controlling environmental contamination in food processing facilities. The effect of thymol was tested as an agent to prevent planktonic and bacterial biofilm growth of twenty-five Listeria monocytogenes isolates from a variety of foods and five Escherichia coli isolates from a farm. The E. coli isolates were positive for extended spectrum &beta
Jännittäminen opiskelun puheviestintätilanteissa
2007
FL Merja Almonkari tarkastelee tutkimuksessaan sitä, millainen ilmiö jännittäminen yliopisto-opiskelun puheviestintätilanteissa on. Missä tilanteissa sitä koetaan, millaista se on luonteeltaan, mihin opiskelijoiden taustatekijöihin se liittyy ja miten sen kanssa tullaan toimeen? Almonkari ryhmitteli opiskelijat viiteen erilaiseen jännittämisprofiiliin: vahvasti viestintäarat, viestintähaluttomat, esiintymisjännittäjät, viestintähuolettomat ja viestintävarmat. - Enemmistö opiskelijoista jännittää kokiessaan olevansa huomion kohteena ja arvioitavana, mutta vain kolmasosan mielestä se on ongelma. Eniten jännittämistä koettiin seminaariesitelmien pidossa, vieraan kielen puhumisessa, ryhmätyön t…
The Influence of Student Abilities and High School on Student Growth: A Case Study of Chinese National College Entrance Exam
2019
Enabled by available educational data and data mining techniques, educational data analysis has become a hot topic. Current researches mainly focus on the prediction of problems and performance rather than revealing the underlying causal relationships. Based on a unique exam data, we extracted the abilities of examinee from HSEE (High School Entrance Exam) based on the knowledge of educational experts, then we measured student growth from middle school to high school in total score and subject scores. We studied the impact of high school ranking and student abilities of HSEE on student growth by multiple linear regression model, in which high school ranking is divided into 5 levels, Level 1…
Less Effort, Better Results: How Does Music Act on Prefrontal Cortex in Older Adults during Verbal Encoding? An fNIRS Study
2014
Several neuroimaging studies of cognitive aging revealed deficits in episodic memory abilities as a result of prefrontal cortex (PFC) limitations. Improving episodic memory performance despite PFC deficits is thus a critical issue in aging research. Listening to music stimulates cognitive performance in several non-purely musical activities (e.g., language and memory). Thus, music could represent a rich and helpful source during verbal encoding and therefore help subsequent retrieval. Furthermore, such benefit could be reflected in less demand of PFC, which is known to be crucial for encoding processes. This study aimed to investigate whether music may improve episodic memory in older adult…
