This is not a manipulation : authentic bodies in digital image

2014

Tämä kaksiosainen tutkimus rakentaa ensimmäisessä osassa teoreettista välineistöä digitaalisen valokuvan ja autenttisen ruumiin käsittelemiseen yhdistämällä Michell Foucaultin ja Judith Butlerin ajatuksia. Toisessa osassa tätä välineistöä sovelletaan Intelligent Life lehden kansikuvaa käsittelevään tapaustutkimukseen, jossa kansikuvan alleviivattua digitaalista muokkaamattomutta käsitellään performatiivisen autenttisuuden näkökulmasta. Autenttisen määrittelemisen ja käytön kontrolli on tutkimuksen keskeinen teema. Foucault ja Butler yhdistyvät näkemykseksi, jonka mukaan autenttinen rakentuu teoista jotka performoivat autenttista. Autenttisen ja epäautenttisen välisen rajan hämärtäminen digi…

Performing Science: Blurring the Boundaries Among Art, Research, and Academic Communities

2017

When and where does the art performance stop? Are there boundaries? The aesthetics of actions can be viewed as a series of unique artistic and genuine experiences and expressions. Through these aesthetics, a narrative unfolds, action turns to progress, and consciousness expands with each portion of new knowledge. When life and its contents are viewed as a part of this artistic experiential process, it is impossible to disconnect one action from another. After intentionally opening the art performance, there is no way for an artist to consciously determine what this performance includes and, more importantly, what it excludes. This paper discusses a performance project that was initiated in …

High-intensity endurance training increases nocturnal heart rate variability in sedentary participants

2015

The effects of endurance training on endurance performance characteristics and cardiac autonomic modulation during night sleep were investigated during two 4-week training periods. After the first 4-week training period (3 x 40 min per week, at 75% of HRR) the subjects were divided into HIGH group (n = 7), who performed three high-intensity endurance training sessions per week; and CONTROL group (n = 8) who did not change their training. An incremental treadmill test was performed before and after the two 4-week training periods. Furthermore, nocturnal RR-intervals were recorded after each training day. In the second 4-week training period HIGH group increased their VO2max (P = 0.005) more …

Quelle est l'incidence de l'exportation sur la performance des entreprises? Le cas du secteur vinicole français.

2005

National audience; Confrontées à une baisse durable de la consommation de vins sur le marché national, de nombreuses entreprises du secteur vinicole français ont décidé d'accroître leurs exportations. Dans ce travail, nous analysons l'incidence de l'exportation sur la performance financière des entreprises. L'économétrie de données de panel nous permet de mettre en évidence une influence positive etsignificative de l'exportation sur la performance financière des 80 entreprises françaises de notre échantillon, au cours des années 90 (de 1991 à 1999).

Effect of tempo and vision on interpersonal coordination of timing in dyadic performance

2015

Interpersonal coordination within a dyadic musical performance requires that the two musicians share a similar mental model of the music’s timing structure. In addition to non-fluctuating inter-onset-interval, matched mental models can be observed through corporeal articulations and apparent embodiment of musical features (i.e. synchronous body sway, mimicked or complementary gestures). Our aim was to examine the effect of tempo on interpersonal coordination within a musical dyad. Violin dyads performed three unfamiliar collaborative musical sequences in facing vs. non-facing conditions. Our hypotheses were that interpersonal coordination would be weakened in the non-facing conditions, and …

Exploring the perception of expressivity and interaction within musical dyads

2016

Bodily gestures in music performance play an important role in the perception and appreciation of music by the audience. Performance variations can be identified by observers even when no auditory cues are available; visual kinematic information has been demonstrated to be crucial in identifying expressive intentions. The current thesis explores violin dyads performing an unfamiliar song. High quality optical motion capture was employed to record full body movement. We applied the standard paradigm to study the perception of expressive performance. Our aim was to predict perceptual ratings of expressivity from movement computations. That is, to deduce secondary aspects of musical gestures, …

Longitudinal and situational associations between math anxiety and performance among early adolescents

2022

Studies have found math anxiety and achievement to be related from the beginning of formal schooling, but the knowledge regarding the direction of the relationship is vague. The purpose of the present study was to study this relationship. We investigated math anxiety from two points of view: trait and state anxiety. In the first substudy, we investigated the longitudinal relationship between math anxiety and performance from sixth to seventh grade (n = 848) with cross-lagged modeling. In the second substudy, we investigated the situational relationship of anxiety and performance by giving the participants (n = 149) challenging and nonchallenging math tasks adapted to their skill level, and …

The scent of Mare Nostrum: medicinal and aromatic plants in Mediterranean soils

2012

In the Mediterranean area, the simultaneous occurrence of pedological, climatic and economic constraints often sets a limit on the profitability of agriculture, and farmers are forced to grow a reduced number of species, dealing with a secure – albeit low – market income. The introduction of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) inside the current farming systems could represent a useful means to meet the multifunctional role of agriculture: producing safe food, in respect of the environment, and contributing to the development of rural areas. The study of the relationships between MAPs and the soils in which they may be grown may have two approaches: (1) the evaluation of yield and qualitat…
