Perception of basic emotions in clinical improvisations : an experimental study
2016
Recently the Finnish music therapy research has focused on therapy of clients with depression. In music psychology the global interest in felt and perceived emotions in music has been a clear trend for two to three decades. This experimental study shares the interests of both fields by examining perceived emotions in improvised music from music therapy sessions. In the experiment, participants (n=29), who were professional music therapists (n=14) and music therapy students (n=15), were asked to listen to 21 short excerpts from seven improvisations that clients with depression have played in their therapy. Meanwhile or after each excerpt, participants were asked to rate the strength of each …
Thoughts in concert : A multi-method approach to investigate the effect of performers’ focus of attention
2013
Does it matter what a performer feels or thinks about while performing? To investigate the effect of performers’ focus of attention on their performances we asked eight violinists to play the same musical phrase in response to three different instructions. The first instruction was to focus on the technical aspects of playing. The second instruction was to give an expressive performance. Following a sadness-inducing mood induction task, the third instruction was to play while focusing on felt emotions. High quality audio and three-dimensional motion-capture recordings were made of all performances. Subsequently, thirty individuals rated how much they liked each performance, how skilled they…
Effect of different processing techniques and presence of antioxidant on the chitosan film performance
2022
In the last two decades, the naturally occurring polysaccharides have gained great attention because of their potential applications in different sectors, for example, from food to biomedical sectors. Chitosan is a cationic polysaccharide with good transparency, and currently, it has been considered also as suitable material for the formulation film and coating in cultural heritage protection. In this work, the chitosan films (Ch), with and without natural antioxidant such as citric acid (CA), are formulated considering two different processing techniques: (i) conventional solvent casting and (ii) compression molding, that is an unconventional method for this polysaccharide, giving the poss…

Social Workers’ Reflections on Forced Migration and Cultural Diversity : Towards Anti-Oppressive Expertise in Child and Family Social Work
2021
Social work in Finland, like in many other countries, has faced various challenges after the large scale of forced migration in 2015. Although working with migrants is not a new area in social work, the exceptionally large amount of asylum seekers in the Finnish society caused a need for improved social work expertise. Our article deals with Finnish social work practitioners’ reflections on multicultural, multilingual and transnational issues with a client group, which is in a vulnerable situation after forced or other forms of migration. The practitioners participating in our study have either attended a specializing education of child, youth and family social work or taken part in peer gr…
Autonomia Local, Equilibri Pressupostari i Sostenibilitat Financera
2021
En aquest escenari, resulta indefugible i certament pertinent realitzar una avaluació sobre l'impacte que s'ha derivat de les vigents polítiques de control del dèficit i del deute públic sobre el règim de les EELL, en termes de la seua incidència sobre l’autonomia local. Les limitacions i els mecanismes de supervisió -tant formals com materials- que s'han anat reforçant gradualment amb vista a la consolidació d'un major control dels comptes públics locals per part dels organismes estatals particularment -i dels autonòmics, en menor mesura-, transcendeixen a l'abast i al mateix contingut d'un conjunt de principis, instruments i conceptes essencials entre els quals destaquen els d’autonomia l…
