The sense of self of experienced and non-experienced music therapists in musical improvisation : an interpretative phenomenological analysis
2014
Music therapists’ work is constantly researched and measured in order to find the best possible ways for conducting music therapy and treating people through music. In spite of this, music therapists themselves are rarely investigated. This research had as its aim to investigate music therapists. The actual investigation involved the sense of self of a music therapist in musical improvisation through semi-structured interviews analysed with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Findings of the research included accepting awareness, using the self as a tool and mutual and authentic interaction between equals. These findings coincide with previous researches supporting that music can be a…
Explicit behavioral detection of visual changes develops without their implicit neurophysiological detectability
2012
Change blindness is a failure of reporting major changes across consecutive images if separated, e.g., by a brief blank interval. Successful change detection across interrupts requires focal attention to the changes. However, findings of implicit detection of visual changes during change blindness have raised the question of whether the implicit mode is necessary for development of the explicit mode. To this end, we recorded the visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) of the event-related potentials (ERPs) of the brain, an index of implicit pre-attentive visual change detection, in adult humans performing an oddball-variant of change blindness flicker task. Images of 500 ms in duration were prese…
Event-related potentials reveal rapid registration of features of infrequent changes during change blindness
2010
Background. Change blindness refers to a failure to detect changes between consecutively presented images separated by, for example, a brief blank screen. As an explanation of change blindness, it has been suggested that our representations of the environment are sparse outside focal attention and even that changed features may not be represented at all. In order to find electrophysiological evidence of neural representations of changed features during change blindness, we recorded event-related potentials (ERPs) in adults in an oddball variant of the change blindness flicker paradigm. Methods. ERPs were recorded when subjects performed a change detection task in which the modified images w…
Effects of Upper Body Eccentric versus Concentric Strength Training and Detraining on Maximal Force, Muscle Activation, Hypertrophy and Serum Hormone…
2022
Effects of eccentric (ECC) versus concentric (CON) strength training of the upper body performed twice a week for 10 weeks followed by detraining for five weeks on maximal force, muscle activation, muscle mass and serum hormone concentrations were investigated in young women (n = 11 and n = 12). One-repetition bench press (1RM), maximal isometric force and surface electromyography (EMG) of triceps brachii (TB), anterior deltoid (AD) and pectoralis major (PM), cross-sectional area (CSA) of TB (Long (LoH) and Lateral Head (LaH)) and thickness of PM, as well as serum concentrations of free testosterone, cortisol, follicle-stimulating hormone, estradiol and sex hormone-binding globulin were mea…
Constructing the international entrepreneurial identity : a study of international entrepreneurship sense-making narratives
2016
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli lisätä ymmärrystä ja tietoa merkityksellistämisen prosesseista matkalla kansainväliseen yrittäjyyteen sekä kansainvälisen yrittäjyysidentiteetin muodostumisesta. Teoreettinen ymmärrys kansainvälisestä yrittäjyydestä on edelleen vajaata ja epätasapainossa kansainvälistymis- ja yrittäjyysteorioiden kesken. Tarve painottaa vahvemmin yrittäjyyttä, yrittäjyysorientaatiota sekä saada perustavanlaatuista tietoa yksilön identiteettiprosesseista kansainvälisessä yrittäjyydessä olivat lähtökohtaisia syitä tälle tutkimukselle. Teoreettinen viitekehys muodostui monitieteellisestä käsitteistöstä ja teoriakentästä yrittäjyyden, kansainvälisen liiketalouden, sosiaalipsykolo…
Explanations of success and failure in management learning : What can we learn from Nokia's rise and fall
2016
International audience; In this paper, we study the changing explanations of success and failure over the course of a firm's history. We build on a discursive approach that highlights the role of narrative attributions in making sense of corporate performance. Specifically, we analyze how the Nokia Corporation was framed first as a success and later as a failure and how these dimensions of performance were explained in various actors' narrative accounts. In both the success and failure accounts, our analysis revealed a striking black-and-white picture that resulted in the institutionalization of Nokia's metanarratives of success and failure. Our findings also reveal a number of discursive a…

Mental fatigue induced by prolonged self-regulation does not exacerbate central fatigue during subsequent whole-body endurance exercise
2015
International audience; It has been shown that the mental fatigue induced by prolonged self-regulation increases perception of effort and reduces performance during subsequent endurance exercise. However, the physiological mechanisms underlying these negative effects of mental fatigue are unclear. The primary aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that mental fatigue exacerbates central fatigue induced by whole-body endurance exercise. Twelve subjects performed 30 min of either an incongruent Stroop task to induce a condition of mental fatigue or a congruent Stroop task (control condition) in a random and counterbalanced order. Both cognitive tasks (CTs) were followed by a whole-body …
