Restoring Harmony in the Lifeworld? : Identity, Learning, and Leaving Preelite Sport

2020

Sport provides many youth participants with a central life project, and yet very few eventually fulfill their athletic dreams, which may lead them to disengage from sport entirely. Many studies have explored the processes of athletic retirement, but little is known about how youth athletes actually reconstruct their relationship with sport and embodiment postretirement. The authors explored these issues in the story of “Pilvi,” a Finnish alpine skier who disengaged from sport in her late adolescence. Employing an existential-phenomenological approach, they conducted six low-structured interviews with Pilvi, combined with visual methods, and identified key themes relating to the body, space,…

Urban Services to Ecosystems: An Introduction

2021

Green infrastructure is a structural system of naturally developed human societies, capable of preserving and ensuring as much space as possible to the local biodiversity. For this reason, green infrastructure shall be planned and designed so that the urban built environment is in harmony with the surrounding biotic communities. The challenge is to sustain nature-based solutions in order to improve citizens’ awareness towards natural and semi-natural ecosystems while providing our society with a more liveable, healthier, safer and fairer environment. This book puts an emphasis on the services the city can offer to nature, thanks to a multidisciplinary approach involving scientists and pract…

Theoretical Proposals on How Vertical Harmony May Convey Nostalgia and Longing in Music

2015

<p>Music is often associated with the emotions of nostalgia and longing. According to previous survey studies both nostalgia and longing are among the most commonly evoked emotions by music (Juslin, 2011). Despite nostalgia’s significance as a musical emotion, research on the specific properties of music that might contribute to this particular emotion has been scarce. A recent empirical experiment by Lahdelma and Eerola (2014) sought to explore whether single chords could be effective at conveying musical emotions to listeners, which spanned complex emotions such as nostalgia. According to the results single chords such as the minor triad, the minor seventh and the major se…

Co-evolution between streaming and live music leads a way to the sustainable growth of music industry : Lessons from the US experiences

2017

While digitization of music, particularly streaming services, has gained increasing popularity, it has also led to a steady decline in the revenues of recorded music industry. This is causing strong concern regarding a potential collapse of the music industry comparable to other print media industries such as newspaper and book publishing. However, recent changes in the music industry initiated by a resurgence of the live music industry are giving rise to some expectations for the survival and growth of the music industry. The parallel paths of increasing popularity of streaming services and a resurgence of live music suggest that these two dynamics are working together in a co-evolutionary…

Mild Dissonance Preferred Over Consonance in Single Chord Perception

2016

Previous research on harmony perception has mainly been concerned with horizontal aspects of harmony, turning less attention to how listeners perceive psychoacoustic qualities and emotions in single isolated chords. A recent study found mild dissonances to be more preferred than consonances in single chord perception, although the authors did not systematically vary register and consonance in their study; these omissions were explored here. An online empirical experiment was conducted where participants ( N = 410) evaluated chords on the dimensions of Valence, Tension, Energy, Consonance, and Preference; 15 different chords were played with piano timbre across two octaves. The results sugg…

Tacit tonality - Implicit learning of context-free harmonic structure

2009

Musical knowledge, like native language knowledge, is largely implicit, being represented without awareness of its complex structures and incidentally acquired through interaction with a large number of samples. Two experiments explore implicit learning of hierarchical harmonic structures of different complexity employing an artificial grammar learning paradigm. The experiments consisted of an incidental learning phase using a distraction task, and a testing phase employing the process dissociation procedure paradigm (Jacoby, 1991). Participants performed significantly above chance and recognised adjacent and long-distance dependencies in both experiments. Confidence ratings and inclusion/e…

O duchowym przywództwie politycznym. Polityka duchowa jako droga dla rozwoju przyszłej Europy

2022

Duchowe przywództwo polityczne odnosi się do sztuki rządzenia państwem, która uwzględnia pełny i wszechstronny rozwój osobowy człowieka, umożliwia obywatelom samorealizację i w ten sposób zaspakaja ludzkie dążenie do osiągnięcia doskonałości moralnej i intelektualnej, osiągającej swój najwyższy stopień rozwoju w świętości jako łączności z doskonałością Boga. Jego celem jest szczęśliwe społeczeństwo, w którym każdy ma możliwość samorealizacji, a jednocześnie szanuje samorealizację innych. Wspiera harmonię społeczną, która wynika ze współdziałania między różnymi grupami w obrębie społeczeństwa oraz jest alternatywą dla dzisiejszej dysharmonii będącej pokłosiem toczącego się konfliktu politycz…
