Sense-Making, Meaningfulness, and Instrumental Music Education
2020
The purpose of this paper is to re-examine the nature of "meaning" and "meaningfulness" in the context of instrumental music education. By doing so, I propose to expand the ways in which instrumental music educators conceive their mission and the ways in which we may instill meaning in people's lives. Traditionally, pursuits of philosophical deliberation have claimed that meaningfulness comes from either personal happiness (e.g., Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill) or an impersonal sense of duty (e.g., St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Immanuel Kant). However, philosopher Wolf (2010) criticizes these positions in favor of a broader perspective, one that arises from understanding that …
Professionals’ views on children’s service user involvement
2021
Purpose Children are gradually attaining recognition as service users and their involvement in service development has been advanced in recent years. This study draws on empirical research in social and health-care services designed for children and families. The purpose of this paper is to analyse how professionals understand children’s involvement as experts by experience. The focus is on professionals’ views and intergenerational relations. Design/methodology/approach The research data comprise 25 individual and 10 group interviews with managers and professionals working in social and health-care services in one Finnish province. The data were analysed using qualitative thematic analysi…
An accurate and efficient collaborative intrusion detection framework to secure vehicular networks
2015
Display Omitted We design and implement an accurate and lightweight intrusion detection framework, called AECFV.AECFV aims to protect the vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) against the most dangerous attacks that could occurred on this network.AECFV take into account the VANET's characteristics such as high node's mobility and rapid topology change.AECFV exhibits a high detection rate, low false positive rate, faster attack detection, and lower communication overhead. The advancement of wireless communication leads researchers to develop and conceive the idea of vehicular networks, also known as vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Security in such network is mandatory due to a vital informa…

The effect of metals on condition and pathologies of European eel (Anguilla anguilla): in situ and laboratory experiments.
2011
Forty-nine wild eels (Anguilla anguilla) caught in the Albufera Lake (Spain), measuring 24.0-75.0 cm in length and 25.0-637.7 g in weight, were examined for metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Pb, Se and Zn), condition (CI and HSI indices), as well as for diseases (Anguillicola infestation; bacterial infections). Total metal load significantly increased in eel liver tissue parallel to total length and body weight (log), while silvering females (W(B) > 200 g; L ≥ 500 mm) exhibited the highest amounts of Co, Cu, Hg, Se and Zn. Diverse effects may be expected in these big eels due to long-term metal exposure. In fact, IMBI (individual mean (multi-metal) bioaccumulation index) and copper load (…
Genetic relatedness among environmental, clinical, and diseased-eel Vibrio vulnificus isolates from different geographic regions by ribotyping and ra…
1998
ABSTRACT Genetic relationships among 132 strains of Vibrio vulnificus (clinical, environmental, and diseased-eel isolates from different geographic origins, as well as seawater and shellfish isolates from the western Mediterranean coast, including reference strains) were analyzed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) PCR. Results were validated by ribotyping. For ribotyping, DNAs were digested with Kpn I and hybridized with an oligonucleotide probe complementary to a highly conserved sequence in the 23S rRNA gene. Random amplification of DNA was performed with M13 and T3 universal primers. The comparison between ribotyping and RAPD PCR revealed an overall agreement regarding the high l…
A comparison of strategies for the detection and recovery of Vibrio vulnificus from marine samples of the Western Mediterranean coast
1998
Summary We have compared the effectiveness of culture-based methods and a DNA-based method for the detection, of Vibrio vulnificus from seawater and three types of shellfish collected from the coastal waters of Valencia, Spain. For culture-based method, we used two selective media, thiosulphate-citrate-bile salts-sucrose (TCBS), and cellobiose-polymyxin B-colistin (CPC) agars with and without previous enrichment in alkaline-saline-peptone-water (APWS). Presumptive colonies were confirmed as V. vulnificus by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using previously described 23S rRNA V. vulficus -specific sequences as primers (Dvu 9V and Dvu 45R). Direct detection was accomplished by a nested-PCR…
Makrozoobentoss kā ekoloģiskās kvalitātes rādītājs Ventas upē
2015
Maģistra daba mērķis ir novērtēt Ventas upes ekoloģisko stāvokli un izpētīt makrozoobentosa funkcionālo nozīmi hidroekosistēmā. Ventas upes makrozoobentos visā upes garumā pēdējo reizi tika pētīts 20. gs. 90. gados. Kopš tā laika Ventā makrozoobentosa izpēte ir veikta tikai „Latvijas Vides ģeoloģijas un meteroloģijas centra” (LVĢMC) monitoringa punktos. Līdz šim nav veiktu pētījumu par Ventas makrozoobentosa specializāciju substrātam, kā arī par tā funkcionālajām barošanās grupām. Maģistra darba ietvaros veikts pētījums 10 upes posmos, novērtēts makrozoobentosa sastāvs un tā funkcionālā nozīme, kā arī novērtēta upes ekoloģiskā kvalitāte pēc makrozoobentosa un galvenajiem fizikāli ķīmiskajie…
Vibrio vulnificus biotype 2, pathogenic for eels, is also an opportunistic pathogen for humans
1996
We report that the eel pathogen Vibrio vulnificus biotype 2 is also an opportunistic pathogen for humans. Results from a detailed comparative study using reference strains of both biotypes revealed that the clinical strain ATCC 33817, originally isolated from a human leg wound and classified as V. vulnificus (no reference on its biotype is noted), belongs to biotype 2 of the species. As a biotype 2 strain, it is negative for indole and pathogenic for eels and mice, harbors two plasmids of high MrS, and belongs to serogroup E, recently proposed as characteristic of biotype 2 strains. In consequence, appropriate measures must be taken by consumers, particularly by those running a health risk,…
LA NOTION DE COLLOCATION FONDAMENTALE UNE ETUDE DE CORPUS
2016
Dans cette étude les « collocations fondamentales » sont envisagées comme des unités polylexicales significatives (unies par des liens collocationnels) fréquentes (dans l'usage) ou non fréquentes (lorsqu'elles sont pertinentes pour la communication) qui représentent pour les locuteurs natifs les contextes les plus essentiels d'un mot donné. Nous avons extrait du corpus frWaC (Baroni et al. 2010) environ 20 000 associations à partir de dix mots pivots issus du Dictionnaire Fondamental de Gougenheim (1971) ; puis, au moyen de la fréquence et de mesures d'association, nous avons sélectionné un échantillon d'environ 400 associations candidates au statut de collocations fondamentales et demandé …
