Platt, John R., and Ronald J. Racine. "Detection of Implied Harmony Changes in Triadic Melodies." Music Perception 11, no. 3 (1994): 243–64. http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/40285622.
Full textAbstract:
Three experiments investigated the cues used by musicians and nonmusicians asked to rate their confidence that an implied harmony change had or had not occurred at a specified point in pseudo- randomly generated, isochronous, triadic melodies that conformed to the rules of elementary classical harmony. In the first experiment, a single melody note followed the putative point of harmony change, and subjects' responses were predictable on the basis of whether this note was contained in the previous triad and the size of the melodic interval between this note and the one preceding it. Musicians were relatively more influenced by the former factor, and nonmusicians, by the latter one. In the second experiment, five to seven melody notes followed the putative point of harmony change, which greatly reduced control by the harmonic relationship of the first of these to the previous triad, but the effect of melodic interval size persisted. The third experiment verified the findings of the first two by using the cues that had been identified in them as design variables and evaluating their effect with conventional analytic statistics. This experiment also parametrically manipulated the number of notes after the putative point of harmony change and showed that maximum confidence concerning the occurrence of an implied harmony change was reached with the first note that did not belong to the previous triad. Possible mechanisms for use of these cues to implied harmony changes are discussed, and directions for future research are indicated.

All languages change over time. English has undergone continuous change throughout its three major periods: Old English (roughly from 450 to 1100 AD), Middle English (from 1100 to 1500), and Modern English (from 1500 to the present). Sound is one of the most easily influenced parts of language to be subject to different changes. Sound change is inevitable and it is a live indication of the continuous growth of language. The evidence to prove the regularity and systematicity of sound change has been the main concern of linguists, This paper seeks to provide more evidence on how vowel harmony played a key role on the regularity of sound change by extracting samples of sound changes that have taken place throughout the English history.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Arnett and Bergman (1999) have proved that orthodontic treatment, facial soft tissue analysis, diagnosis, and treatment plan have parameters of harmony values as the key to determining facial aesthetics. Treatment of skeletal class II malocclusion with maxillary prognathism is generally performed by extracting two maxillary first premolars to correct the patient’s facial profile. This study was aimed to analyse changes in the facial harmony values after class II malocclusion treatment with the extraction of the maxillary first premolar following Arnett and Bergman’s analysis. Methods: This research was observational analytic with a purposive sampling technique. The study sample was 72 images of skeletal class II malocclusion lateral cephalometry before and after orthodontic treatment. Assessment of soft tissue harmony was divided into four, namely intramandibular harmony, intermaxillary harmony, orbital to jaw harmony, and facial balance. Data was not normally distributed, as resulted from Shapiro Wilk analysis. The analysis in this study was conducted using Shapiro Wilk and Spearman’s analysis. Results: There were changes in intramandibular harmony and facial balance in skeletal class II malocclusion with the maxillary first premolar extraction before and after treatment (p=0.025 and p=0.032, respectively ). There was no change found in the value of intermaxillary harmony and the orbital to the jaw harmony in skeletal class II malocclusion with extraction of the maxillary first premolar before and after treatment. There was a high effect of incisor retraction on the facial harmony values before and after treatment in class II treatment with extraction of two maxillary premolars (p=0.001). Conclusion: Treatment of skeletal class II malocclusion with extraction of two maxillary first premolars has a relationship between the magnitude of retraction and changes in facial harmony values based on Arnett and Bergmann’s analysis.Keywords: Class II skeletal malocclusion, extraction of two maxillary first premolar, facial harmony.

Full textAbstract:
Vowel harmony involves the systematic correspondence between vowels in some domain for some phonological feature. Though harmony represents one of the most natural and diachronically robust phonological phenomena that occurs in human language, how and why harmony systems emerge and decay over time remains unclear. Specifically, what motivates harmony decay and the pathways by which harmony languages lose harmony remains poorly understood since no consistent historical record in any single language has yet been identified which displays the full progression of this rare sound change (McCollum 2015, 2020; Kavitskaya 2013, Bobaljik 2018). In this paper, I explore the progression and causation of vowel harmony decay in Old Norwegian (c 1100–1350). Using a grapho‐phonologically tagged database of a sample of 13th‐ to 14th‐century manuscripts, I present novel corpus methods for tracking and visualising changes to vowel co‐occurrence patterns in historical records, demonstrating that the Old Norwegian corpus provides a consistent and coherent record of harmony decay. The corpus distinguishes categorical pre‐decay harmony, probabilistic intermediate stages, and post‐decay non‐harmony. Across the Old Norwegian manuscripts, we observe a variety of pathways of harmony decay, including increasing harmony variability via the collapse of harmony classes introduced by vowel mergers, the lexicalisation of historically harmonising morphemes, and trisyllabic vowel reductions which limit harmony iterativity. This paper provides the first detailed corpus study of the full spectrum and causation of this rare sound change in progress and provides valuable empirical diagnostics for identifying and analysing harmony change in contemporary languages.

Full textAbstract:
The importance of harmony perception in understanding tonal melodies has been extensively studied, but underlying processes of implied harmonic perception remain unexplored. This study explores how listeners perceive implied harmony in real-time while hearing tonal melodies by addressing two questions: How is each tone of a tonal melody harmonically interpreted and integrated into the previous tones? How do harmonic expectations of “what” chord will follow and “when” the chord change will occur affect the processing? Participants with music training listened to tonal melodies and responded to target tones by singing their pitches as quickly as possible. The target tones implied an expected or an unexpected chord; they occurred at expected or unexpected times. The results showed that sing-back reaction times (RTs) were shorter for: 1) tones implying an expected chord; and 2) chord changes occurring at expected times, suggesting that harmonic expectations facilitate the processing of tonal melodies. Also, RTs became shorter over the presentation of successive target tones implying the same chord, suggesting that implied harmony becomes clearer as more tones belonging to a single chord are presented.

The present study examines both gradual and rapid changes occurring in 20th-century jazz harmonic practice. A newly-assembled corpus of 1,086 jazz compositions was used to test the idea that jazz music exhibits a mid-century decline in traditionally “tonal” chord usage. Evidence was found for slow, incremental changes in zeroth-order chord quality distributions, consistent with gradual, unconscious changes in harmonic usage. Typical tonal chord-to-chord transitions became less common between the 1920s and the 1960s, consistent with the hypothesis of tonal decline. Finally, use of root motion of an ascending perfect fourth dropped suddenly in the 1950s, suggesting that chord-to-chord transitions might be more susceptible to rapid change than chord frequency. Possible constraints on stylistic evolution are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Two experiments examined sensitivity to key change in short sequences adapted from Bach chorales. In Experiment 1, musically trained listeners identified key changes in single-voice (i.e., soprano, alto, tenor, bass) and in four-voice presentations of the sequences. There were two main findings. First, listeners judged the distance and direction of key change in single voices and in four-voice harmony with approximately equal ease. Second, for four-voice harmony but not for single voices, the direction of key change on the cycle of fifths influenced perceived distance. For an equivalent number of steps on the cycle, greater distance was associated with modulations moving in the counterclockwise, rather than in the clockwise, direction. These findings were replicated in Experiment 2, in which musically untrained listeners rated perceived distance of key change. In addition, the directional asymmetry found for four-voice harmony also was found for individual bass voices. The evidence suggests that harmony and melody operate somewhat independently in the implication of key structure. Difficulties for a strictly hierarchical model of perceived musical pitch structure are discussed and a partially hierarchical model is considered.

Full textAbstract:
The tendency for languages to use harmonic word order patterns—orders that place heads in a consistent position with respect to modifiers or other dependents—has been noted since the 1960s. As with many other statistical typological tendencies, there has been debate regarding whether harmony reflects properties of human cognition or forces external to it. Recent research using laboratory language learning has shown that children and adults find harmonic patterns easier to learn than nonharmonic patterns (Culbertson & Newport, 2015 ; Culbertson, Smolensky, & Legendre, 2012 ). This supports a link between learning and typological frequency: if harmonic patterns are easier to learn, while nonharmonic patterns are more likely to be targets of change, then, all things equal, harmonic patterns will be more frequent in the world’s languages. However, these previous studies relied on variation in the input as a mechanism for change in the lab; learners were exposed to variable word order, allowing them to shift the frequencies of different orders so that harmonic patterns became more frequent. Here we teach adult and child learners languages that are consistently nonharmonic, with no variation. While adults perfectly maintain these consistently nonharmonic patterns, young child learners innovate novel orders, changing nonharmonic patterns into harmonic ones.

The Jews and Samaria involved in claiming one another's descendants of Abraham so that the dispute from the background of multicultural interests had an impact on the harmony of the two nations. During the intertestamental situation the upheaval still occurred. Historical studies of the feud that occurred during the intertestamental period also brought the message of harmony to trigger all the descendants of Jews and Samaritans to continue to be in hatred. That is what happened in Indonesia, there were many tribal, religious and customs sentiments which were contested so that the harmony of the plural society was tarnished. But learning from Jesus that brought change changed paradigms and teachings to love one another and live in harmony.

Full textAbstract:
Research on intergroup prejudice has generally adopted a model of social change that is based around the psychological rehabilitation of members of advantaged groups in order to foster intergroup harmony. Recent studies of prejudice-reduction interventions among members of disadvantaged groups, however, have complicated psychologists’ understanding of the consequences of inducing harmonious relations in historically unequal societies. Interventions encouraging disadvantaged-group members to like advantaged-group members may also prompt the disadvantaged to underestimate the injustice suffered by their group and to become less motivated to support action to challenge social inequality. Thus, psychologists’ tendency to equate intergroup harmony with “good relations” and conflict with “bad relations” is limited.

Abstract Introduction When evaluating results of randomized, placebo-controlled trials, the clinical impact of a treatment can be assessed using number needed to treat (NNT; number of patients that need to be treated to achieve a specific outcome for one person) and effect size (magnitude of drug–placebo difference on outcome measures). Lower NNTs indicate a more robust effect; NNT <10 is generally considered to represent a meaningful between-treatment difference. This analysis evaluated NNTs and effect sizes for pitolisant in the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy, using data from 7- or 8-week, randomized, placebo-controlled studies. Methods Patients in both studies experienced EDS at study baseline (Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS] score ≥14 in HARMONY-1 and ≥12 in HARMONY-CTP); patients in HARMONY-CTP also experienced ≥3 cataplexy attacks/week. Pitolisant was titrated over a 3-week period to a maximum potential dose of 35.6 mg/day, after which the dose remained stable. End-of-treatment assessments occurred at Week 8 in HARMONY-1 and Week 7 in HARMONY-CTP. Treatment response was defined for EDS based on ESS score reduction (≥3-point decrease from baseline or final score ≤10) and for cataplexy as ≥50% reduction from baseline to stable-dose period in the weekly rate of cataplexy (WRC). NNTs were calculated as the inverse of the drug–placebo difference in response rates. Effect sizes for change from baseline in mean ESS score and WRC were calculated using Cohens’ d. Missing values were imputed using a last-observation-carried-forward approach. Results Treatment response for EDS was observed in HARMONY-1 (pitolisant, n=31; placebo, n=30) in 67.7% of pitolisant-treated versus 43.3% of placebo-treated patients (NNT=5) and in HARMONY-CTP (pitolisant, n=54, placebo, n=51) in 68.6% versus 34.0% of patients, respectively (NNT=3). In HARMONY-CTP, treatment response for cataplexy was observed in 66.7% of pitolisant-treated patients versus 25.5% of placebo-treated patients (NNT=3). Effect sizes were 0.61 (HARMONY-1) and 0.86 (HARMONY-CTP) based on ESS change scores, and 0.86 (HARMONY-CTP) based on change in WRC. Conclusion The low NNTs and large effect sizes observed in this analysis provide further evidence that pitolisant produces meaningful clinical benefits in the treatment of EDS and cataplexy in adults with narcolepsy.

Full textAbstract:
Hope is viewed as a positive emotion associated with the motivation to change existing conditions. As such, it is highly relevant for social change, particularly when considering disadvantaged groups. We propose that, in the context of unequal intergroup relations, hope may actually undermine motivation for change among disadvantaged group members. Specifically, we distinguish between hope targeted at harmony with the outgroup and hope targeted at social equality between groups. Drawing on insights regarding the consequences of positive intergroup interactions, we predict that hope for harmony with the outgroup can undermine the constructive tension that motivates the disadvantaged toward equality. Across four studies, involving different intergroup contexts, hope for harmony was negatively associated with disadvantaged group members’ motivation for collective action. We further found that high identifiers from the disadvantaged group were immune to this effect. We discuss theoretical and practical implications for the role of hope in social change.

Abstract Introduction This analysis evaluated the efficacy of pitolisant over time in three 7- to 8-week, randomized, placebo-controlled studies of adults with narcolepsy. Methods Patients in all 3 studies (HARMONY-1, HARMONY-1bis, HARMONY-CTP) experienced excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) at study baseline; patients in HARMONY-CTP also experienced ≥3 cataplexy attacks/week. Pitolisant was titrated to a maximum dose of 35.6 mg/day (HARMONY-1, HARMONY-CTP) or 17.8 mg/day (HARMONY-1bis). Change from baseline in mean Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score (3 studies) and mean weekly rate of cataplexy (WRC; 1 study) was compared for pitolisant versus placebo. Results In the higher-dose HARMONY-1 (pitolisant, n=31; placebo, n=30) and HARMONY-CTP (pitolisant, n=54; placebo, n=51) studies, ESS score improvement was significantly greater with pitolisant versus placebo beginning at Week 2 (LS mean difference, -2.8; P=0.015) and Week 3 (LS mean difference, -2.0; P=0.005), respectively. In the lower-dose HARMONY-1bis study (pitolisant, n=66; placebo, n=32), significant separation from placebo was first observed at Week 7 (LS mean difference, -2.3; P=0.044). At end-of-treatment, LS mean difference in ESS score change from baseline was -3.1 (P=0.022) in HARMONY-1, -3.4 (P<0.001) in HARMONY-CTP, and -2.2 (P=0.030) in HARMONY-1bis. In HARMONY-CTP, LS mean WRC with pitolisant was 11.7 at baseline, 4.6 at end-of-treatment, and 5.1 after a 1-week, placebo-washout period. Improvement in WRC was significantly greater with pitolisant versus placebo beginning at Week 2 (LS mean difference, -5.3; P=0.004) and continued through end-of-treatment (LS mean difference, -6.2; P<0.001); there was no evidence of rebound cataplexy after placebo-washout (LS mean difference, -4.9; P=0.027). Conclusion During pitolisant treatment, improvement in EDS occurred sooner (within first few weeks) and was more robust in studies that permitted titration to the maximum recommended dose (35.6 mg/day). The rate of cataplexy attacks decreased early during treatment, with no evidence of rebound when pitolisant was withdrawn. Support Bioprojet Pharma and Harmony Biosciences, LLC.

The purpose of the article. The article explains the ways to find harmony in modern clothing design projects. The research methodology consists of the analysis application in the field of fashion, as well as methods of source, aesthetic and structural-compositional analysis. The scientific novelty of the work lies in determining and systematizing the main ways of searching for harmony in clothing design 2010-2020. Conclusions. Design forms and expression, its orientation change not only due to a technology change but primarily due to changes in social demands, value systems, mental guidelines, of which the search for harmony is also important – external and internal. Designers solve this aspect in various ways: from formalized proportioning and the color wheel usage to the use of natural motifs and folk art archetypes. Another way is “green”, ecological, “ethical”, “sustainable” fashion – directions that not only demonstrate the possibilities of processing but also generate a particular worldview, draw attention to the artist’s ability to return people to the beauty and diversity of the world.

Listeners with a moderate amount of musical training rated the distance between the first and final key of short chorale excerpts under one of four presentation conditions. The distance between keys, or modulation distance, was either zero, one, or two steps in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction on the cycle of fifths. Presentation conditions were four-voice harmonic sequences excerpted from the complete set of Bach chorales, single voices of the latter sequences, four-voice harmonic sequences simplified to block chords, and single voices of the latter sequences. Consistent with earlier findings (Thompson & Cuddy, 1989), judgments for both four- voice harmonic presentations and single-voice presentations revealed a close correspondence between modulation distance and judged distance. Ratings for harmonic sequences within a given key distance, however, showed influences of direction of modulation and of harmonic progression that were not reflected in ratings for single voices. The findings suggest that harmony and melody follow somewhat different principles in the process of identifying key change.

Full textAbstract:
Little is known about patterns of vowel harmony change in language contact situations. Trabzon Turkish (TT), which is spoken in the North East of Turkey and has a language contact history with (Pontic) Greek, Armenian, and Laz, provides such a context. This study investigates vowel harmony in TT and compares it with Standard Turkish (ST). Based on a quantitative analysis derived from a corpus of written texts in TT, this study shows how TT exhibits partial vowel harmony. TT displays a reduced amount of vowel harmony compared to ST, which suggest that TT might have experienced decay. Additional findings of this study indicate that vowels are influenced by following adjacent consonants, some suffixes have fixed forms with non-alternating vowels, but linear harmony decay across the word is not observed.

Abstract Introduction Pitolisant was initially approved by the FDA in 2019 for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness in adult patients with narcolepsy; in 2020, the indication was expanded to include the treatment of cataplexy. Methods Cataplexy data from 7- or 8-week, randomized, placebo-controlled studies (HARMONY-CTP, HARMONY-1) are reviewed and summarized. In HARMONY-CTP, all patients were required to have ≥3 cataplexy attacks per week at baseline; HARMONY-1 enrolled patients with narcolepsy with or without cataplexy. Pitolisant was individually titrated to a maximum potential dose of 35.6 mg/day. The weekly (WRC) or daily (DRC) rate of cataplexy attacks was calculated from patient diaries. Results In HARMONY-CTP (pitolisant, n=54; placebo, n=51), mean baseline WRC was 11.7 in the pitolisant group and 9.6 in the placebo group. In the subset of HARMONY-1 patients with cataplexy (pitolisant, n=17; placebo, n=11), mean baseline DRC was 1.5 and 1.2, respectively. In HARMONY-CTP, least-squares (LS) mean change in WRC was significantly greater for pitolisant versus placebo at Week 2 (-4.1 vs 1.2; P=0.004) and continued through end of treatment (Week 7; -6.5 vs -0.1; P<0.001). In HARMONY-CTP, treatment response was observed in 66.7% of pitolisant-treated versus 25.5% of placebo-treated patients (P<0.001) for WRC reduction ≥50%, and 77.8% versus 33.3% of patients (P<0.001) for WRC reduction ≥25%. In HARMONY-1, LS mean change in DRC was significantly greater for pitolisant versus placebo at Week 5 (-1.04 vs 0.17; P=0.047) and continued through end of treatment (Week 8; -0.96 vs 0.35; P=0.035). In a pooled analysis of patients with high burden of cataplexy (≥15 attacks/week) at baseline (pitolisant, n=20; placebo, n=11), LS mean change in WRC at end-of-treatment assessment was significantly greater for pitolisant (-14.5; baseline, 23.9; final, 9.4) versus placebo (-0.1; baseline, 23.1; final, 23.0; P=0.004). There was no evidence of rebound cataplexy after a 1-week placebo washout period. Conclusion Pitolisant, at once-daily doses of up to 35.6 mg, demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the frequency of cataplexy attacks in adults with narcolepsy, including patients with a high symptom burden. Onset of response was observed within the first few weeks of pitolisant treatment. Support (if any) Bioprojet Pharma and Harmony Biosciences, LLC.

We must look ahead at today's radical changes in technology, not just as forecasters but as actors charged with designing and bringing about a sustainable and acceptable world. New knowledge gives us power for change: for good or ill, for knowledge is neutral. The problems we face go well beyond technology: problems of living in harmony with nature, and most important, living in harmony with each other. Information technology, so closely tied to the properties of the human mind, can give us, if we ask the right questions, the special insights we need to advance these goals. Herbert A. Simon (2000)

Abstract As the mainstream ideology, Confucian harmony deeply influences ways of thinking and social life in the East. Contemporary China has experienced quite a radical change since the Xīnhài Revolution in 1911. It also marked the re-examination of Confucianism, i.e. the development of New Confucianism. New Confucianism needs to encourage China to fit the modern and global context. Therefore, the revival of Confucian harmony must remake itself to fit the modern world. A certain degree of convergence between Confucian harmony and liberalism, the mainstream ideology in the West, is necessary. Personal improvement is a hotly disputed idea among Chinese Confucians and Western liberals because transformation of public ethics is closely related to transformations of the self. This paper argues the importance of integration between harmony and liberalism. What is important is to explore how each tradition can shed light on theoretical and practical issues regarding harmony between the individual and the community, rather than individual sovereignty over communal claims in ideological studies.

Treatment of Class II malocclusion have impact in relation to the vertical dimensions of the skeletal and facial soft tissues mainly to the facial balancing and proportion which relate to patient facial harmony. The aim of this study was to determine the changes and differences in facial vertical dimensions to the total value of facial harmony in skeletal Class II after treatment with extraction and non-extraction of the maxillary first premolar based on Arnett and Bergmann at the Orthodontic Specialist Clinic of RSGM, Universitas Sumatera Utara. The sample consisted of initial and final cephalometry of 36 patients with age 18-35 years old, skeletal Class II malocclusion ANB > 4o, divided into extraction of maxillary first premolar and non-extraction group. Cephalometric tracing with the required points, then the photos are processed into image J software. Then the data that obtained is tested statistically with Pearson’s Correlation Test and T-Test Independent. There was a significant change between MP-SN and Pog-Imd (P=0,036) in the first premolar extraction group, but there was not a significant change in the non-extraction first premolar group. There was a significant difference in the face harmony value at point G-A between the extraction and non-extraction groups (P=0,038). There was a significant difference on the face harmony value in the treatment of malocclusion Class II orthodontic with maxillary first premolar extraction.

Full textAbstract:
This paper offers an account of diachronic changes in nasal harmony in Mundurukú, a Tupian language from Brazil. It attempts to show that the Optimality Theory provides new ways of accounting for sound change, other than constraint re-ranking. A comparison of Mundurukú and Kuruaya's modern systems points out that the source system, Proto-Mundurukú, had similar properties to those currently observed in Kuruaya. In particular, nasal spread targets were voiced stops and sonorants, whereas voiceless obstruents were transparent. This system was developed into another in Pre-Mundurukú, because new contrasts were introduced in the language, turning obstruents into opaque segments, thus blocking nasalization. Formal OT account of both cases relies on restricting harmony constraints, as shown by the relative chronology that gave rise to Mundurukú's modern system. In addition, this study discusses the consequences of this change to synchronic grammar, and how it explains the process' irregularities.

Full textAbstract:
Many studies have revealed shared music–language processing resources by finding an influence of music harmony manipulations on concurrent language processing. However, the nature of the shared resources has remained ambiguous. They have been argued to be syntax specific and thus due to shared syntactic integration resources. An alternative view regards them as related to general attention and, thus, not specific to syntax. The present experiments evaluated these accounts by investigating the influence of language on music. Participants were asked to provide closure judgements on harmonic sequences in order to assess the appropriateness of sequence endings. At the same time participants read syntactic garden-path sentences. Closure judgements revealed a change in harmonic processing as the result of reading a syntactically challenging word. We found no influence of an arithmetic control manipulation (experiment 1) or semantic garden-path sentences (experiment 2). Our results provide behavioural evidence for a specific influence of linguistic syntax processing on musical harmony judgements. A closer look reveals that the shared resources appear to be needed to hold a harmonic key online in some form of syntactic working memory or unification workspace related to the integration of chords and words. Overall, our results support the syntax specificity of shared music–language processing resources.

Full textAbstract:
To enhance the performance of harmony search (HS) algorithm on solving the discrete optimization problems, this paper proposes a novel harmony search algorithm based on teaching-learning (HSTL) strategies to solve 0-1 knapsack problems. In the HSTL algorithm, firstly, a method is presented to adjust dimension dynamically for selected harmony vector in optimization procedure. In addition, four strategies (harmony memory consideration, teaching-learning strategy, local pitch adjusting, and random mutation) are employed to improve the performance of HS algorithm. Another improvement in HSTL method is that the dynamic strategies are adopted to change the parameters, which maintains the proper balance effectively between global exploration power and local exploitation power. Finally, simulation experiments with 13 knapsack problems show that the HSTL algorithm can be an efficient alternative for solving 0-1 knapsack problems.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In 1960s pop/rock, the end of a prechorus often uses text, breakaway from harmonic loops, hypermeter, or a change of melody to heighten expectation for tonic harmony and create structural closure. Songs harness this heightened expectation to underscore the importance of the chorus and illustrate the singer’s lyrics. These closing markers provide a wide range of expressive and formal options by creating various cadential effects, including a closed cadence overlapping with the chorus, an open cadence before the chorus, or—in passages often depicting marked emotional states—conflicting formal cues.

Nurses have a duty to uphold the right to health. Clean water is vital for health as an inclusive right for all people, yet access is threatened by climate change. Complex impacts of colonization on climate change has resulted in two key problems: lack of clean water access by Indigenous Peoples and marginalization of Indigenous traditional teachings that support water protection. Indigenous teachings of living in harmony with Mother Earth are important contributions to global water policy and health solutions. Indigenous traditional laws on water protection may be understood through Indigenous water declarations. Nurses have an important opportunity to respect traditional teachings noting interconnections of health, water, and climate change to advance health. Water is life.

Full textAbstract:
Harmony search (HS) algorithm is an emerging population-based metaheuristic algorithm, which is inspired by the music improvisation process. The HS method has been developed rapidly and applied widely during the past decade. In this paper, an improved global harmony search algorithm, named harmony search based on teaching-learning (HSTL), is presented for high dimension complex optimization problems. In HSTL algorithm, four strategies (harmony memory consideration, teaching-learning strategy, local pitch adjusting, and random mutation) are employed to maintain the proper balance between convergence and population diversity, and dynamic strategy is adopted to change the parameters. The proposed HSTL algorithm is investigated and compared with three other state-of-the-art HS optimization algorithms. Furthermore, to demonstrate the robustness and convergence, the success rate and convergence analysis is also studied. The experimental results of 31 complex benchmark functions demonstrate that the HSTL method has strong convergence and robustness and has better balance capacity of space exploration and local exploitation on high dimension complex optimization problems.

Tamkang UniversityThe ancient Daoist philosopher Zhuangzi (beginning of the 4th century BC), whose views comprise the core of the book ascribed to him, offers a profound concept of harmony, the basic condition of which is the differential relation within the continuity of universal change. Harmony for Zhuangzi is the predetermined or rather in-determined power of self-affection which constitutes the nature of life. As such it stands for the symbolic matrix of experience anticipating the world of things. This idea of harmony lies at the origin of creativity and style in culture. Zhuangzi’s philosophy is neither nihilistic nor apologetic in relation to actual cultures but provides, as it were, a comment on the conditions of the formation of culture.

This study examined the associations of perceived social capital and income change since the outbreak with probable depression and preventive behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong. Random digit dialing recruited a population-representative sample of 3011 Hong Kong Chinese aged ≥ 15 years (mean = 44, 55% females) between February 25 and April 29 2020. Respondents reported social capital (perceived interpersonal trust, social harmony, and sense of belonging), income change since the outbreak (loss vs. gain/no change), depressive symptoms, preventive behaviors, and demographics. Controlling for sociodemographics, lack of perceived interpersonal trust was associated with probable depression and avoiding contact with people with respiratory symptoms. Lack of perceived sense of belonging was associated with probable depression and decreased odds of adopting preventive behaviors. Lack of perceived social harmony was associated with probable depression and increased odds of used face masks among respondents with income loss only. Our results suggest that social capital is related to lower risk of depression and to higher chance of used face masks particularly among those experiencing income loss related to COVID-19. Prevention of mental health problems and promotion of effective preventive behaviors could be implemented by focusing on support for those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged.

Abstract Objective To assess the behavior of the peri-implant soft margin after immediate implant placement with immediate function, by (1) direct clinical measurements of peri-implant soft margin height and thickness, (2) measurements of peri-implant soft margin height on photographs and (3) the perception of dental professionals regarding the results considering esthetic parameters. Material and method The study included 8 patients with central or lateral incisors indicated to be extracted. Direct measurements of peri-implant soft margin height and thickness were done immediately before extraction (T0) and 1 (T1), 4 (T2), 8 (T3) and 12 (T4) months after the flapless insertion of the implant. Photographs were taken at the same time intervals. A questionnaire was filled in by implantology professionals regarding their visual perception of color and peri-implant soft margin architecture and harmony in the implant region using the photographs obtained at T4. Result The clinical results showed significant changes to the height of the peri-implant soft margin, but the photographic results did not show significant changes for this measurement. The thickness of the attached gingiva was maintained during all the observation period. Of the professionals interviewed, 35.2% noticed an altered peri-implant soft margin color of the implant region, 39.8% noticed a change in the peri-implant soft margin architecture and 12.5% noticed a change in the peri-implant soft margin harmony. Conclusion The soft tissues around immediate implants changed during this period, but did not affect the aesthetic outcome and in the opinion of professionals, the aesthetic results were satisfactory for these cases.

At present, there is a transition under way from the industrial to the post-industrial phase of civilization, from the world of machines to the world of people. This transition is happening very quickly, in the form of a humanitarian and technological revolution. This makes even more urgent the problem of building a bridge between humanitarian and natural science culture, which is closely related to the development of interdisciplinary approaches.In its anniversary report, the Club of Rome “Come On!” put forward the idea of a New Enlightenment, intended to change the meanings, values, image of the future, the imperatives of development of the entire world civilization. The article presents potential directions of the new educational project. There is shown that they are associated with acquisition of the integrity of people, with their harmonious development in rational, emotional and intuitive spaces. This is illustrated by the development of modern mathematics, in which the ideas of harmony, beauty, as well as, in many parts, its approximation to art, are beginning to play an increasingly important role.The new era allows for a reinterpretation at a new level of the concept of “Homo Ludens” by J. Huizinga, an outstanding cultural researcher. The play is acting as a basis for self-organization, for culture formation, science and technology development. The great challenges faced by humanity require a change of world outlook. The article shows that, at a new level, there is occurring a return to the ideas of Russian cosmists and, in particular, to the concept of all-unity by V.S. Solovyov.At the present turn, a choice is being made between the New Enlightenment and the New Middle Ages. At the point of bifurcation, which is being passed by humanity now, a key role can be played by the culture and education that correspond to the new realities. The article suggests approaches that will allow Russia to avoid the future shock and to be a subject rather than an object of the changes associated with the New Enlightenment.

The paper considers to philosophically analyze the harmony and harmonious development of man, their interpretation from Antiquity to our days. Human life on perpetual search for inner and outer harmony. The author of the article analyze the statements of the greatest philosophers about the harmonious development of the person. Тhe idea that the ideal of a developed harmonious person is substantial basis of the ancient ideal of kalokagathia throughout the history of development and transformation іt is discussed. For many centuries from antiquity to the present day, representatives of philosophy have tried to explain who the person is. And a harmonious development person, should be in the priority for the development of any state. In the historical dynamics, the accents of these philosophical problems were repeatedly changed, their basic principles and thesis were rethought. Accordingly, the views of people changed, and consequently the ideas of kalokagathia, harmony and harmonious development. But only the main feature ‒ components ‒ did not change. Specificity of harmony and harmonious development is revealed on the basis of an analysis of philosophical and scientific material. These widespread terms are kalokagathia, one of the key concepts and basic methodological principles of ancient Greek philosophy. They make it possible for a person to realize his outer and his inner world as a single whole, and is in certain eternal inner relationships. The findings of the research show that the harmonious development, as an idea of kalokagathia always aimed at the development of external and internal abilities and instilling a sense of beauty, goodness, justice, truth and their harmonious harmony. The philosophical thought of harmonious development, after going through the ages, acquired new interpretive meanings and national specifics. And in the history of each culture there were periods when accents were drawn on kalokagathia meanings and their reading in the system, ethical and philosophical, aesthetic concepts. The idea of harmonious human development connects the past with our modernity. Moreover, this idea is constantly directed to the future, because it is in a state of continuous development.

Intense musical experiences (IMEs) have proven to be of high significance for the people who have them. We investigated the long-term effects of such experiences on people’s way of life and developed a process model: (1) IMEs are characterized by altered states of consciousness, which leads to the experience of harmony and self-realization; (2) IMEs leave people with a strong motivation to attain the same harmony in their daily lives; (3) people develop manifold resources during an IME; (4) IMEs cause long-term changes to occur in people’s personal values, their perception of the meaning of life, social relationships, engagement, activities, and personal development. Results are discussed as they relate to spirituality and altered states of consciousness and conclusions are drawn from the process model that form a starting point for quantitative research. Results suggest that music can indeed change our lives – by making it more fulfilling, spiritual, and harmonious.

Neither the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change nor the Kyoto Protocol nor other international agreements aiming at the establishment of legal and economic — and also sustainable — world development mechanisms seeking to achieve a harmony between economic growth and preservation of the environment have led to any reduction in annual increases of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. This is due, to a considerable extent, to the initially non-complete principles of evaluation regarding the different responsibilities of countries in connection with atmosphere pollution. The aforementioned principles are based on total emissions volumes. However, what might be seen as more justified in any estimation of permissible pollution levels is, within potential international trading of volume quotas for the rights to carbon dioxide emissions, an account of the intensity of pollution per square kilometer of surface area and the absorption potential of forests and other green plantations present in every country.

Guitar distortion used in rock music modifies a chord so that new frequencies appear in its harmonic structure. A distorted dyad (power chord) has a special role in heavy metal music due to its harmonics that create a major third interval, making it similar to a major chord. We investigated how distortion affects cortical auditory processing of chords in musicians and nonmusicians. Electric guitar chords with or without distortion and with or without the interval of the major third (i.e., triads or dyads) were presented in an oddball design where one of them served as a repeating standard stimulus and others served as occasional deviants. This enabled the recording of event-related potentials (ERPs) of the electroencephalogram (EEG) related to deviance processing (the mismatch negativity MMN and the attention-related P3a component) in an ignore condition. MMN and P3a responses were elicited in most paradigms. Distorted chords in a nondistorted context only elicited early P3a responses. However, the power chord did not demonstrate a special role in the level of the ERPs. Earlier and larger MMN and P3a responses were elicited when distortion was modified compared to when only harmony (triad vs. dyad) was modified between standards and deviants. The MMN responses were largest when distortion and harmony deviated simultaneously. Musicians demonstrated larger P3a responses than nonmusicians. The results suggest mostly independent cortical auditory processing of distortion and harmony in Western individuals, and facilitated chord change processing in musicians compared to nonmusicians. While distortion has been used in heavy rock music for decades, this study is among the first ones to shed light on its cortical basis.

Full textAbstract:
Partnerships are increasingly considered to have the potential to address societal problems that one single actor cannot solve. This paper rationalises the development of partnerships between entrepreneurs and non-profit organisations by the effects of its alignment. In organisations, the process of alignment focuses on the activities that management perform to achieve cohesive goals (e.g., finance, marketing, sales, human resources). Whereas in an entrepreneurial philanthropy partnership, the stage of alignment maturity addresses both how the opted societal change is in harmony with the entrepreneurial approach and how this approach can be in harmony with societal change. This approach is deemed crucial in understanding how the two partners can translate their views on leadership, strategy, and culture into opportunities that enhance their impact. Theoretical researches have provided foundations for identifying dimensions of the conceptual Entrepreneurial Philanthropy Alignment Model (EPAM) that might strengthen the impact of a partnership between an entrepreneur and a non-profit organisation.

In this article we examine the marketing representations of the Toyota Prius, the first ‘green’ mass-produced automobile. Drawing on an interpretive analysis of Prius print advertisements in Canadian publications between 2006–2011 and a matched sample of other automobile advertisements, we observe how the Prius advertisements invoke imagination and how this process is channelled, via the integration of text and images offered in the advertising space, to particular themes and ideas. Through the use of an ambiguous system of signs, audiences are invited to imagine and thereby co-create the significance of hybrid electric vehicles. Three areas of imagining are emphasized by the advertisement structure—nature, harmony and agency—and we analyze these imaginings as potential moments of knowledge creation about climate change. We examine how the activity of imagining in relation to these three areas influences viewers’ knowledge and perception of climate change as well as their sense of responsibility for anthropogenic climate change. We discuss the consequences of using ambiguous messages to promote socially and politically charged products for consumers’ understanding and imagination.

ABSTRACTError patterns in children's phonological development are often described as simplifying processes that can interact with one another with different consequences. Some interactions limit the applicability of an error pattern, and others extend it to more words. Theories predict that error patterns interact to their full potential. While specific interactions have been documented for certain pairs of processes, no developmental study has shown that the range of typologically predicted interactions occurs for those processes. To determine whether this anomaly is an accidental gap or a systematic peculiarity of particular error patterns, two commonly occurring processes were considered, namely Deaffrication and Consonant Harmony. Results are reported from a cross-sectional and longitudinal study of twelve children (age 3 ; 0–5 ; 0) with functional phonological delays. Three interaction types were attested to varying degrees.

Full textAbstract:
This article studies the Christian movement that occurred amongst the Luba of Katanga, Belgian Congo, from about 1915 to 1950, paying particular attention to how it was received by different social categories and mediated by local religious enthusiasts. The notion of conversion is examined across two generations with reference to ageing, revival and reprise via a case study of the Congo Evangelistic Mission (CEM), a Pentecostal faith body. The paper shows how the CEM's literary and pneumatic practices were understood both in terms of ruptures with what had gone before and through establishing continuities with pre-existing culture, particularly the search for social harmony.
