BASIC COGNITIVE PROCESSES IN CONDUCTING

Author(s): Theodora Pavlovitch / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Cognitive processes are fundamental to conducting; they are the foundation of a conductor’s success. The sensations of pitch, volume, timbre, and rhythm, as well as various levels of visual perception, have a potent influence on the quality of a conductor’s actions. A keen perception of time enables a conductor to fix the right tempo. Aural and visual perceptions shape ideas and concepts based on the musical content. The development of these processes in the consciousness through professional experience is indispensable to reach a high standard in the art of conducting.

Bazgrota w twórczości plastycznej dziecka

Author(s): Urszula Szuścik / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2019

The book presents the assumptions and results of the pedagogical experiment on the genesis of scribble and its transformation by stimulation of visual perception. The study involved children aged 2 and 3 years. As we know, the scribble period is one of the most difficult periods to study in the development of child’s drawing creativity. During this time, the areas of cognitive, enactive and communicational development of the child are formed and integrated. It is a discovery for the child to have left the first graphic trace. I asked myself a question concerning the extent to which the child’s visual stimulation determines his/her original drawing – a scribble. To what extent does his/her visual stimulation change as a result of this impact in terms of the diversity of linear quality, colour patches and shapes – figures? What, therefore, new formal features does the scribble acquire? These are some of the questions I tried to answer in the present work. My approach to the analysis of children’s scribbles rests upon my assumption that this is a kind of specific endeavor able to rebuild the child’s visual and motor experience by means of stimulation of his/her visual perception. The research hypothesis involved the stimulation of children’s artistic creativity depending on the shaping of their visual perception by strictly defined visual stimuli within colours, lines and figures. Visual stimuli formed perceptual patterns determined by individual research tasks. The experiment covered 15 exercises, including five exercises on colors, five on lines and five on figures. The book consists of three main chapters and extensive appendices. I discussed the issue of a scribble in the development of the child’s artistic expression in the first chapter of the work, referring to the concept of the development of artistic creativity and visual perception of selected researchers. I described the development of visual and artistic values in a child’s scribble, namely a line, a color patch, a circle and a figure. I attribute a special role to the development of the child’s visual perception. Moreover, I think that the formation of the semantic aspect of the scribble is one of the elements of the child’s cognitive development that leads to thought-drawing transformations. This issue is presented in the theoretical analysis of the work. Child’s scribbling was an inspiration for many artists; that’s why I have resolved to discuss this topic in this chapter. Seeking answers to this problem, I have contrasted selected examples of children’s scribbles and works of art. In my opinion, what combines them in the beauty of the simplicity of artistic solutions is creative intuition. In the second chapter of the work, I have presented the assumptions of my research, research problems, adopted hypotheses, research procedure, variables and indicators. The whole research was of complementary character. The third chapter of the book presents the analysis of the research results and their interpretation. This is where I provide evidence to support my thesis about the importance of stimulating the children’s scribble by means of visual perception. It can be concluded that the child’s scribbles illustrate and create a chain of transformation of his/her experience. An integral part of the book is a CD, which contains the quantitative and qualitative analyses of the research results, selected examples of children’s artworks from the research that show the diversity and originality of solutions in children’s scribbles. The experiment, conducted and presented in the monograph entitled Scribble in the child’s artistic creation (2019), proved that the formation of visual thinking in children takes place by means of visual perception. Such a process leads to the enrichment of their perceptual experience and the ultimate result: artistic activity.

Bevaikystės pozicionavimas: reproduktyvaus amžiaus ir vyresnių moterų refleksijos

Author(s): Margarita Gedvilaitė-Kordušienė,Gražina Rapolienė,Lina Šumskaitė / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 4/2019

This paper focuses on childless women reflections of their current status. During the qualitative research (2017–2018), 44 interviews have been completed with 28–71 year old women without children. Based on the positioning theory (Harré et al. 2009; Allen, Wiles 2013), the paper reveals how childlessness is being positioned on different levels: personal, interpersonal and cultural. The individualistic values – freedom from the burden, taking care of oneself, recognizing responsibility to raise children – were revealed on the personal level. On the interpersonal level, women of reproductive age expressed positions that were agreed upon with their partners or stated how difficult it is to reach the agreement. Meanwhile, the narratives of women from older generations reveal inert life scenarios. The cultural norms to have children in marriage had a strong influence on both women groups, who were in their reproductive age and who have finished their reproductive career.

Beyond Truth and Falsehood

Author(s): Ewa Kosowska,Barbara Bokus / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

The authors discuss truth and falsehood in science and the arts. They view truth as an irreducible point of reference, both in striving for elementary knowledge about the world and in seeking methods and artistic means of achieving this goal. The multilevel and multiple-aspect research presented here, conducted on material from different periods and different cultures, shows very clearly that truth and falsehood lie at the foundation of all human motivation, choices, decisions, and behaviors. At the same time, however, it reveals that every bid to extrapolate the results of detailed studies into generalizations aimed at universalization – by the very fact of their discursivation – either subjects the discussion to the rules of formal logic or situates it outside the realm of truth and falsehood.

Błąd wychowawczy a stosowana dyrektywność rodzicielska

Author(s): Agnieszka Szymańska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2011

There was explored the connection among parental directiveness, child behaviour and parental difficulty. We put forward a hypothesis that parents of “difficult” children would achieve higher scores in aggressive directiveness, parents of well-behaved children would achieve higher scores in heart – full directiveness. It was expected that parental difficulty would determinate upbringing mistake. The sample consisted of 204 people, parents of children who attend to kindergartens in Warsaw, Cracow, Częstochowa. Results confirmed research hypotheses: parents of “difficult” children achieved higher scores in aggressive directiveness, parents of well-behaved children achieved higher scores in heart – full directiveness. A spectacular outcomes demonstrate the crucial role of the type of parental directiveness, and prove that parental difficulty determinates parental mistake but only in group of “difficult” children’s parents.

Body Mass Determinations of Young People During the Period Between 2008-2017

Author(s): Nicoleta Leonte,Ofelia Popescu,Oroles Florescu,Teodora Wesselly / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

The physical /somatic dimension, embodied in the physical autonomy and the current anatomical-functional capacity, the vitality necessary for a normal life, subscribes to the complex concept of "quality of life". In our century, the amplitude of excessive technology (mechanization and automation) and the ease of communication and travels, led to a reduction in the physical effort made by young people. All these changes have a negative impact on the physical well-being, by increasing the percentage of sedentary people and obesity. Intercountry comparable overweight and obesity estimates from 2008 show that 51.0% of the adult population (> 20 years old) in Romania were overweight and 19.1% were obese. Adulthood obesity prevalence forecasts (2010–2030) predict that in 2020, 12% of men and 9% of women will be obese. This study aims to determine the somatic mass evolution (muscle mass / adipose tissue ratio) of the students from University “Politehnica” of Bucharest by comparing the data collected in 2008 with those of 2017 and by finding the changes occurred over time. The results of the research show a positive evolution of the students’ physical development in 2017 compared to the students in 2008, by the significant increase of the muscle mass (t=4.2932, p= 0.0001). The values recorded in the adipose tissue do not display significant differences. The evolution identification of the muscle mass-adipose tissue ratio over time could highlight the effect of the educational and training process specific to the field of physical education and sport, and raising the awareness of the young people about the systematic practice of the physical activity combined with a healthy diet aims to increase the quality of life.

BUKA U UNUTRAŠNJOJ TIŠINI МИЛОША ЗАТКАЛИКА

Author(s): Jasenka Anđelković Protić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 48/2019

Композиција Милоша Заткалика Buka u unutrašnjoj tišini (2014) за флауту, обоу, кларинет, удараљке и клавир, интригира својим насловом, као и поднасловима шест кратких ставова: Vrisak, Krici i šaputanja, Kao da je sama magla kriknula, Glas onoga što viče u pustinji, Buka i bes и Ostalo je ćutanje – који слушаоцу упућују интелектуални изазов расветљавања примарне нарације музичког тока, с обзиром на то да се у њима препознаје резоновање с ванмузичким, визуелним и књижевним поетикама познатих светских стваралаца. Buka u unutrašnjoj tišini Милоша Заткалика суочава нас с једним од феномена конфликтне духовне егзистенције човека савременог доба у коме се бука може тумачити као синоним мултиплицираног акустичког окружења, наметљиве звучне и вербалне какофоније око нас, насупрот унутрашњој тишини која се везује за нешто лично, интимно, индивидуално, контемплативно... Несумњиво је да је бука у композицији синоним за пренаглашен, непријатан звук, али и метафора за силовиту енергију, покретачку снагу, за слојевитост и испреплетаност музичког ткива, а да унутрашња тишина представља оно неизрециво што остаје иза и после тих звучања, њихов психолошки одјек, фрагментацију и кондензацију проживљеног стања... на само наш начин.

CHEMICAL BOND AND STRUCTURE OF SUBSTANCE – DIDACTIC ASPECTS

Author(s): Svetlana Haritonov,Iurie Subotin,Raisa Druță,Veronica Dragancea / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

This paper is a didactic project to teach the topic "Chemical bond and structure of substance – didactic aspects", that aims to help students understand the most important notions, laws and theories. In the process of mastering the material of the topic, skills should be improved for students to make inter-subject communications with physics and mathematics based on the application of knowledge about electrons, ions, and nucleus of an atom. Students should more often be given the opportunity to analyze the composition of substances and make conclusions about the nature of chemical bonds, compare the structure of atoms, simple and complex substances, establish a relationship with properties, and predict the type of crystal lattice based on the properties of substances, so they will be able to develop logical thinking skills. When studying the topic, ideas about the relationship of opposites, about the transition of quantitative changes to qualitative ones will be further developed. Having finished the lesson students must deepen their knowledge about ionic and covalent chemical bonds, establish differences between polar covalent bond and nonpolar covalent bond, recognize substances with different bond type, develop mobility of thought, modeling, generalization and abstracting ability, cultivate the analytical spirit and the power of synthesis, use chemical terminology while presenting information on chemical connection.

Co łączy przyjaciół: różnice czy podobieństwa? Badanie reprezentacji własnego Ja i Ja przyjaciela wśród ukraińskich kobiet i mężczyzn

Author(s): Paniotova Daria / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2017

The study has revealed that there are differences in the representations of respondents Self and Self of his friend concerning men and women in early adulthood. The theoretical basis for the research was the concept of Self by Rogers (1951, 1959, 1965, 1977). According to this concept study was conducted using the method of Semantic Differential by Osgood (1957). This method assumes that in the process of diagnosis, the test consists of three images of Self: 1) Real Self, e.g. a true picture of yourself – how does person see herself and how does person feel, 2) Perfect Self or what features a respondent would like to have, which at the moment he does not have, and 3) The Self of his Friend, which allows respondent to emphasize its own characteristics that distinguish him from the other, or vice versa shows a similar picture of the Self of Friend to the image of his Real Self or Perfect Self. Responses were analysed using 3 factors: Rating, Strength, Activity. One hundred students from Ukraine took part in th research, including 50 women and 50 men from the Faculty of Ecology and Chemical Technology of Donetsk National Technical University. The average age of respondents was Mage = 21.56 (SD = 1.68). The results showed that the responses of men statistically significantly differ concerning representations of Real Self and Self of Friend, but do not differ concerning representations of the Perfect Self and Self of Friend. Furthermore responses of women statistically significantly differ concerning representations of the Perfect Self and Self of Friend but there are only two factors – Strength and Activity, and the representations of the Real Self and Self of Friend statistically significantly differ taking into account factor Rating.

COMPARING MACEDONIAN AND AUSTRIAN STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF IDENTITY ASPECTS AND COLLECTIVE IDENTITY

Author(s): Marijana Markovik,Eleonora Serafimovska / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2016

This research was focused on the association between aspects of identity orientation and collective identity among students in Macedonia and Austria. The survey in Macedonia was conducted among Macedonian and Albanian state university students, and in Austria, it was conducted among students from the Department of Political Science and Sociology at the University of Salzburg. The same methodological procedure was applied: orientation towards two aspects of identity - Personal aspect of Identity (PI) and Social aspect of Identity (SI), measured with the AIQ (Aspect of Identity Orientation) Scale. The collective identity was run through a grid of one scale (according to Laponce): importance was given to each of 13 social groups, such as: family, friends, gender, age, profession, religion, preferred political party, place of birth, residence, university, ethnicity, class, an citizenship. According to the results on the PI and the SI scales, four groups of respondents were obtained. The first group, termed “Integrated”, was the group with high scores on both scales; the second group, termed, “Ego-oriented”, had high scores on the PI scale and low scores on the SI scale; the third group, “Pre-defined”, presented individuals with low scores on both scales, and the last group, “Over-socialized”, was the group that had high scores on the SI scale and low scores on the PI scale. The main topic of research was the importance that each of these four groups (in a Macedonian and Austrian context) assigned to the collective identity. The comparative study underlined some important issues: family and friends are the first and second most important social groups for the four groups in both samples; in both samples, the “Integrated” group places the highest importance to the collective identity; the collective identity is mostly predominant among the Macedonian students, and, no matter how much personality is integrated, the least important group for the Austrian sample of students is religion, while for the Macedonian sample of students - political party.

Compulsivity and coronavirus - the type of response that healthcare professionals have in the coronavirus pandemic

Author(s): Alina Zorina Stroe,Silviu Docu Axelerad,Daniel Docu Axelerad,Any Docu Axelerad / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2020

For persons with a job in the medical field, the increased risk of contracting infections is part of the chosen profession and becomes a much more apparent challenge in epidemics, such as the one that the global population is currently facing- coronavirus pandemic. In addition to concerns about personal contact of the coronavirus infection, the medical professionals are particularly concerned about transmitting the infection at the family level, especially involving family members who are elderly, immunocompromised or have chronic medical conditions. This involves taking additional preventative measures, which require time, physical and mental energy, which involve more reasons for stress and concern. On the other hand, the medical staff also experiences two types of difficulties during the current and current viral pandemic: the volume of physical work and psychological stress. The increase of physical work is challenging to manage due to the insufficient number of sanitary personnel to participate in the increased measures addressed in this case. Psychological stress, although not currently visible, affects the psychic, physical, and human behavior in the long term. We investigated the general condition of medical workers in the incipient stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in Romania, as well as the perception of health and emotional and mental health risks.
