New Instruments

Pierre Boulez (1925-2016) devoted a great deal of time and consideration to the relationship between the composer?s invention and performance media, in particular those related to the application of the latest technological breakthroughs and new instruments. Boulez?s famous essay ?Technology and the Composer? (1977/1986) proclaims his desire to widen the range of expressive means of art music by conquering new media. Boulez?s ?vintage? insights are here juxtaposed with a contemporary Quantum Music project (2015-2018), and with one particular piece written within this project: Super Position (Many Worlds) by Kim Helweg (2017), commissioned by the Institute of Musicology SASA and supported by the Danish Arts Foundation (Statens Kunstfond). At least two lines of thinking relevant for the present discussion can be drawn from Boulez?s text: the first dealing with the possible development of new musical instruments, and the other inviting a merger between music composition and science.

The Relationship

The fields of frugal and reverse innovation as well as sustainability and its management have received tremendous interest in recent times. However, there is little literature on how both fields are related to each other. Hence, this paper gives an overview of research in both areas and provides a view of the relationship between frugal and reverse innovation, sustainability management and performance constructs. The link between frugal and reverse innovation on the one hand and sustainability performance on the other hand is established through a differentiated perspective on dimensions representing different fields of sustainability management, i.e. the sustainability of resources used in value creation, the sustainability of the actual value creation processes, and the sustainability of the outcomes of value creation processes. Moreover, we also argue for a positive link between the three dimensions of sustainability management and a company’s market performance.

The Relationship

This paper was aimed to examine the relationship between corporate governance and financial performance in terms of ownership of 41 banks that represent Ukrainian banking system in 2006-2009. Correlation results could be used as an indicator of the weak link between corporate governance dynamics and operating performance. The Corporate Governance Dynamics Ratio was introduced to evaluate the CG in banks from the sample. It was determined during the study that majority of the banks could be found in the “30 to 80 points” range, which indicates the low level of CG practices’ implementation. On the other hand, there were some outliers – 6 banks with Ukrainian ownership have higher rankings then foreign-owned ones (“over 80 points” range), while 5 foreign banks are “outsiders” with CG Ratios in the range “less than 30”. In general it can be stated that the level of corporate governance in Ukrainian banking is in the initial phase, internal and state regulation should be introduced in order international practices to be put into action.

News Use

This study extends past research on the relationship between news use and participation by examining how youth combine news exposure across an array of media devices, sources, and services. Results from a national survey of U.S. youth ages 12 to 17 reveal four distinct news repertoires. We find that half of youth respondents are news avoiders who exhibit the lowest levels of participation. The other half of youth respondents are characterized by one of three patterns of news use, each distinct in how they seek out (or avoid) using new media platforms and sources for news, and in their levels of participation.

Three Components

This article presents an application of a triangular theory of love as it applies to love for musical instruments. The triangular theory comprises three components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. Intimacy, which is primarily emotional, refers to feelings of closeness, connectedness, warmth, communication, and emotional support. Passion, which is primarily motivational, refers to feelings that one cannot live without another, that one needs another in one’s life, and that one cannot even imagine one’s life without the other. Commitment refers to the decision to love and to stay in the relationship indefinitely. These components are applied in the article toward love of musical instruments, and the theory is given as an account of some of the factors that may lead students of musical instruments either to stay with those instruments or to quit playing them. A measure is described that could be used to assess love of musical instruments (and that is currently being validated), and empirical findings from past studies on the triangular theory of love are presented.

The aim of this article is to describe and understand how Strategic Management is designed, implemented and monitored in private universities. The data analysis has revealed which factors have affected the Strategic Management process in these universities, its characteristics, the actors involved in this process and, finally, the relationship between planning and performance. The results have also shown that in two universities (cases A and B) their Strategic Management is already a mature process, which was designed in order to create a vision of the future and help both universities to deal with environmental pressures. By contrast, the third case (C) revealed that its Strategic Management has not reached yet the same level of maturity observed in the other two cases.

In this article, we investigate the effectiveness of a purposely built Digital Tabletop Musical Instruments (DTMI) in helping novices and casual users to explore music composition. Our participants explored how melodic similarity and contrast can convey narrative through musical structure in sessions involving one participant and one tutor to guide the session. We structured the sessions as a combination of open-ended discussions and increasingly open-ended music-making exercises, culminating in the main task: Invent a short story and compose a melody to describe it. We found that the combination of a structured tutor-led activity and an approachable technology allowed our participants to explore the relationship between their ideas of similarity and contrast, the ways these concepts are manifested in melody, and the ways they can help describe a narrative. The hands-on activities provided adequate scaffolding for discussing the concepts and contextualizing them within music. Lastly, by not requiring any formal musical or instrumental training, the DTMI allowed the participants to make music while discussing similarity and contrast in a comfortable and continuous way.

12 adults sought specific information in one of two flow diagrams illustrating the evolution of the dinosaur. One diagram showed the animals evolving from left to right, with a time scale at the top of the page. The other was reversed so that the animals evolved right to left with the time scale at the bottom. Observations of subjects' eye movements over four exposures to the diagrams suggested that those seeing the second diagram quickly developed a “reversed diagram” schema, which improved the accuracy with which they found the information. The successful completion of a three-step perceptual strategy was not affected by the reversal of the diagram. However, the absence of an accurate diagram schema delayed the strategy and led to incorrect responses. These results clarify the relationship among anticipatory schemata, perceptual strategy, and performance when seeking information in diagrams.

Abstract. The study covered 11 376 horses registered in the six successive volumes of the Wielkopolski Herdbook. The level of variability in the body conformation indices and in the performance value indices was analysed. The genetic basis parameters for the body conformation and performance traits of the Wielkopolski horses were assessed. A high level of heritability was identified for the wither height (h2 = 0.566) and cannon circumference (h2 = 0.418), with an average heritability level of the other analysed characteristics (ranging from h2 = 0.205 – for the stallion performance test results to h2 = 0.350 – in the case of chest circumference). On the other hand, genetic correlation between the analysed indices produced the highest values for the relationship between wither height and cannon (rG = 0.636) and chest (rG = 0.551) circumference, as well as for the interrelation between the above dimensions and the following body structure indices: »boniness« (rG = 0.690) and »bulkiness« (rG = 0.541). Considering the extensive scope of the study – and the fact that the breed population was registered in the Wielkopolski Herdbook – the authors suggested the advisability of using the results of the present study for the modification of breeding programs with a view to improve the breed in question, both its principal population and the one included in the program of gene-pool protection.

This study aims to test the relationship and influence between intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence towards competency and performance and partially test both variables. The object of this study was a civil servant at the inspectorate office in Gorontalo province with a sample of 150 respondents by spreading questioner online. This study also uses structural equation technique with data analysis using SEM-PLS. The results showed that intellectual intelligence variables positively and significantly influence employees' competence and performance. On the other hand, emotional intelligence does not have a significant effect on employee performance. This research can reference relevant agencies in looking at the relationship between intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence to employees' competence and performance to take the right policies. This research in the design is static. The model that we developed based on empirical studies and testing is limited to establishing simple relationships related to intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence variables that can affect employees' competence and performance.

‘It's Never about Me, It's Always about You’: Generosity in Zarrilli's Training Space

The Relationship

In his extraordinary essay ‘The Metaphysical Studio’, Phillip Zarrilli advocated for the actor's psychophysical exploration of risky uncertainties and unknown possibilities in the ‘spatio-temporal realm between presence and absence, between “what is” and “what is not” – this liminal realm between’. It was typical of Zarrilli that when he received confirmation that his cancer had returned for the third and final time, he both responded pragmatically and perceived the experience as a philosophically interesting inhabitation of ‘that liminal place between’. Just as ‘The Metaphysical Studio’ emphasizes the actor's investigation of ‘the relationship between that “self” and “others” – the other “selves” that inhabit me; those I might wish to inhabit; the other as “Character”; the interpersonal you-as-other;’ it was also typical that Zarrilli sought to take care of many of the ‘others’ connected with him. These others included a sprawling global training community of students, practitioners and scholars. In a final video call alongside his life and work collaborator Kaite O'Reilly and with more than thirty-five students from around the world who had studied his intercultural performer training at the University of Exeter, Zarrilli stressed, ‘it's never about me, it's always about you’. This stress on ‘you’ was rooted in his emphasis on participants gaining ownership of the training and assimilating it into their own practice, along with a core focus on the other and the collective. During the call, Zarrilli signalled the importance of consistently working within the studio and performance space on strong interpersonal relationships, which ‘can arise when people are learning how to be generous with their energy, with what they can give, with how they can be present to each other. And again, we need more of that in the world’. It is unsurprising that those who participated in Zarrilli's training experienced how that focus on intersubjectivity developed a joyful international and intergenerational community, underpinned by politicized intentions around accessibility, generous group awareness, an ethics of care, and an ability to share the space, which could also be carried into the wider world.
