Pianisti cembalistina : cembalotekniikka cembalonsoittoa aloittavan pianistin ongelmana

2004

Mäkinen on kartoittanut väitöstutkimuksessaan niitä soittoteknisiä ongelmia, joita cembalonsoittoa aloittava pianisti kohtaa uuden soittimen parissa. Hän haastatteli seitsemää cembalistia, jotka edustavat maan terävintä kärkeä sekä esiintyvinä taiteilijoina että cembalonsoitonopettajina This study proposes to chart, classify and describe, on the basis of interview material, the problems in playing technique that pianists encounter in learning the harpsichord. Additionally, I investigate the various views on harpsichord technique held by experts familiar with both its playing and teaching.The material consists of seven comprehensive interviews, to which I applied phenomenographical context a…

Soundscape design through evolutionary engines

2008

Abstract Two implementations of an Evolutionary Sound Synthesis method using the Interaural Time Difference (ITD) and psychoacoustic descriptors are presented here as a way to develop criteria for fitness evaluation. We also explore a relationship between adaptive sound evolution and three soundscape characteristics: keysounds, key-signals and sound-marks. Sonic Localization Field is defined using a sound attenuation factor and ITD azimuth angle, respectively (Ii, Li). These pairs are used to build Spatial Sound Genotypes (SSG) and they are extracted from a waveform population set. An explanation on how our model was initially written in MATLAB is followed by a recent Pure Data (Pd) impleme…

Tadpole Responses to Environments With Limited Visibility: What We (Don’t) Know and Perspectives for a Sharper Future

2022

Amphibian larvae typically inhabit relatively shallow freshwater environments, and within these boundaries there is considerable diversity in the structure of the habitats exploited by different species. This diversity in habitat structure is usually taken into account in relation to aspects such as locomotion and feeding, and plays a fundamental role in the classification of tadpoles into ecomorphological guilds. However, its impact in shaping the sensory worlds of different species is rarely addressed, including the optical qualities of each of these types of water bodies and the challenges and limitations that they impose on the repertoire of visual abilities available for a typical vert…

Mediated communication as an entryway into interculturality

2022

In this chapter, the authors discuss how utilising mediated communication may open new possibilities into exploring and understanding intercultural communication in education. Set in the context of Finnish higher education, the chapter follows a social constructionist viewpoint into mediated communication. The chapter argues for the prevalence of media and technology-mediated communication as a tool with which citizens of a globalised world make sense of themselves as well as the other. The authors present and discuss practical examples of how learners’ own media use practices may be drawn upon in teaching, and how focusing on the everyday affordances of media allows for strengthening learn…

Implementing sentiment analysis to an open-ended questionnaire: Case study of digitalization in elderly care during COVID-19

2022

[EN] The rise of digital technology has enabled us to utilize even more integrated systems for social and health care, but these systems are often complex and time-consuming to learn for the end users without relevant training or experience. We aim to perform Named Entity Recognition based sentiment analysis using the answers of eldercare workers that have taken a survey about the effects of digitalization on their work. The collection of the panel survey data was carried out in two waves: in 2019 and 2021. For the sentiment analysis we compare these two waves to determine the effects of COVID-19 on the work of eldercare workers. The research questions we ask are the following: “Has technol…

Tutkimus päihdehuollon terapeuttien arvioinnissa käytettävistä menetelmistä

2000

Service users' views on service production are nowadays considered essential. However, not much is known about these evaluative processes in the treatment of substance abuse. This study includes two experiments and a qualitative analysis of therapists' (N=4) written responses to client situations which were used as basic materia! in the experiments. The first experiment focused on the therapists' ability to feel empathy, their genuineness, their respect for the client and their concreteness. In the second experiment, the raters put the therapists in order of preference. The qualitative analysis showed that the therapists' written responses differed from one another in length and style. Howe…

On the effects of suitably designed space microstructures in the propagation of waves in time modulated composites

2023

In the one-dimensional case, the amplitude of a pulse that propagates in a homogeneous material whose properties are instantaneously changed in time will undergo an exponential increase due to the interference between the reflected and transmitted pulses generated at each sudden switch. Here, we resolve the issue by designing suitable reciprocal PT-symmetric space-time microstructures so that the interference between the scattered waves is such that the overall amplitude of the wave will be constant in time in each constituent material. Remarkably, for the geometries proposed here, a pulse will propagate with constant amplitude regardless of the impedance between the constituent materials,…
