2020
Bakalaura darbā tiek pētīti utilitārisma ētikas pārstāvja Pītera Singera un kristīgās ētikas pārstāvja Endrū Linzija argumenti dzīvnieku morālā statusa pamatošanai. Skaidrojot abu autoru pozīcijas, izgaismojas, kādā veidā starp abiem autoriem varētu veidoties diskusija. Galvenais darba mērķis ir salīdzināt darba centrālo autoru argumentus dzīvnieka morālā statusa atzīšanai un noskaidrot, vai Linzija izpratne par kristīgo ētiku nodrošina tādus principus, kuriem varētu būt nozīme arī sekulāras dzīvnieku ētikas, tai skaitā Singera teorijas, kontekstā. Noslēgumā secināts, ka Linzija kristīgās ētika izpratne piedāvā šādu principu, kas ir dāsnuma paradigma. Tiek norādīts uz tādu attieksmi pret dz…

Health anxiety instead of performance anxiety among opera singers
2009
Opera singers experience certain work strains; they work as soloists, depend highly on their vocal functioning and have to exhibit a consistent level of superior performance throughout a long career. The literature also shows that they report increased levels of hypochondriasis and extensive concern about vocal functioning and somatic impairment. Data from a previous study (Sandgren, 2002) were further explored to better understand the opera singers’ preoccupation with vocal functioning. The aim of the study was to explore if psychological and voice-related variables would be related to concepts of performance anxiety and health anxiety. The results indicated that psychological and voice-re…
Study of vocalists' use of emotions in performance preparation
2015
Musicians and educators understand the importance of expressivity in vocal performance. Despite the acceptance of expressivity as a crucial element in musical performance, educators have reported addressing it only cursorily or not addressing it at all when preparing for a performance. For these reasons, this research has focused on techniques used by trained musicians when preparing a performance, to be adapted and applied for use by teachers with their large vocal ensembles. Participants in this study were enrolled in vocal / operatic performance programs at universities in the United States, Ireland, Finland, and Hong Kong. Their progress was tracked throughout the semester by three ques…
