Cleft lip and/or palate is the most common congenital craniofacial malformation, requiring multidisciplinary treatment, including surgery and often speech therapy. Palatal surgery restores the anatomical barrier between the oral and nasal cavities as well as the palatal function needed for normal speech. The present thesis aimed to investigate factors thought to impact surgical and speech outcomes. These factors include the timing of surgery, surgical technique, the surgeon's experience, cleft type, and cleft width. Study I investigated the impact of cleft type and width on velopharyngeal function (VPF) and secondary surgery rates from ages three to 16. Cleft width was associated with increased surgery rates and signs of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) at ages three and five. Contrary to some previous studies, surgery rates and speech outcomes were not associated with cleft type at any age. Study II examined VPF and articulation development between ages five and ten in children adopted from China compared to Swedish-born children. Adoptees had palatoplasty later and had more severe articulation difficulties at both ages. The number of adoptees and non-adoptees with VPI was similar, but fewer adoptees had competent VPF. Study III explored different types of intra-velar veloplasty and the impact of cleft width and surgeon experience on outcomes in 5-year-old children. Radical muscle dissection was not superior to intra-velar veloplasty reinforced by the palatopharyngeal muscle. Cleft width had a more significant impact on secondary surgery rates and VPF than did surgical technique—neither affected articulation proficiency. Study IV examined the association between cleft type and width and surgical and speech outcomes, especially articulation, in 5-year-old children. Cleft width, not type, indicated articulation proficiency. The same errors occurred across all cleft types. Neither cleft type nor width was significantly associated with secondary surgery rates or VPF.

Introduction: Rhinophonia aperta may result from velopharyngeal insufficiency. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been discussed in the context of muscle strengthening. The aim of this study was to evaluate in healthy subjects whether NMES can change the velopharyngeal closure pattern during phonation and increase muscle strength.Method: Eleven healthy adult volunteers (21-57 years) were included. Pressure profiles were measured by high resolution manometry (HRM): isolated sustained articulation of /a/ over 5 s (protocol 1), isolated NMES applied to soft palate above motor threshold (protocol 2) and combined articulation with NMES (protocol 3). Mean activation pressures (MeanAct), maximum pressures (Max), Area under curve (AUC) and type of velum reactions were compared. A statistical comparison of mean values of protocol 1 versus protocol 3 was carried out using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Ordinally scaled parameters were analyzed by cross table. Results: MeanAct values measured: 17.15±20.69 mmHg (protocol 1), 34.59±25.75 mmHg (protocol 3) on average, Max: 37.86±49.17 mmHg (protocol 1), 87.24±59.53 mmHg (protocol 3) and AUC: 17.06±20.70 mmHg.s (protocol 1), 33.76±23.81 mmHg.s (protocol 3). Protocol 2 produced velum reactions on 32 occasions. These presented with MeanAct values of 13.58±12.40 mmHg, Max values of 56.14±53.14 mmHg and AUC values of 13.84±12.78 mmHg.s on average. Statistical analysis comparing protocol 1 and 3 showed more positive ranks for MeanAct, Max and AUC. This difference reached statistical significance (p=0.026) for maximum pressure values. Conclusions: NMES in combination with articulation results in a change of the velopharyngeal closure pattern with a pressure increase of around 200% in healthy individuals. This might be of therapeutic benefit for patients with velopharyngeal insufficiency., Hintergrund: Offene Rhinophonien können aufgrund einer velopharyngealen Insuffizienz entstehen. Die neuromuskuläre Elektrostimulation (NMES) wird seit einiger Zeit als Therapieform zur Muskelkräftigung angewendet. Ziel dieser Studie war es, an gesunden Proband_innen zu untersuchen, ob NMES das velopharygeale Verschlussmuster während der Phonation verändern und die Muskelkraft erhöhen kann. Methodik: In die Studie wurden 11 gesunde Proband_innen eingeschlossen (21-57 Jahre). Mit der Hochauflösungsmanometrie wurden Druckprofile unter verschiedenen Bedingungen aufgezeichnet: die isolierte Phonation des Lautes /a/ über 5 s (Protokoll 1), die isolierte, motorisch überschwellig applizierte NMES auf das Velum (Protokoll 2) sowie die Phonation und die NMES in Kombination (Protokoll 3). Verglichen wurden der durchschnittliche Druck während der Aktivierung (MeanAct), die durchschnittlichen Maximaldrücke (Max), die durchschnittlichen Integrale unter der Druckkurve (Area under curve (AUC)) und die Art der Velumreaktion. Der Vergleich der Durchschnittswerte von Protokoll 1 und 3 wurden mithilfe des Wilcoxon-Vorzeichen-Rang-Tests durchgeführt. Ordinär skalierte Parameter wurden über eine Kreuztabelle analysiert.Ergebnisse: MeanAct Mittelwerte lagen bei 17,15±20,69 mmHg (Protokoll 1), 34,59±25,75 mmHg (Protokoll 3), Max bei 37,86±49,17 mmHg (Protokoll 1), 87,24±59,53 mmHg (Protokoll 3) und AUC bei 17,06±20,70 mmHg.s (Protokoll 1), 33.76±23.81 mmHg.s (Protokoll 3). Im Protokoll 2 zeigten sich 32 Velumreaktionen mit durchschnittlichen MeanAct-Werten von 13,58±12,40 mmHg, Maximalwerten von 56,14±53,14 mmHg und Mean-AUC-Werten von 13,84±12,78 mmHg.s. Der Vergleich der Protokolle 1 und 3 ergab mehr positive Ränge für die Kombination aus Phonation und NMES und für die Parameter MeanAct, Max und AUC. Dieser Unterschied zeigte mit p=0.026 statistische Signifikanz in Bezug auf den Parameter Max.Diskussion: NMES in Kombination mit Phonation führt bei Gesunden zu einer Veränderung des veloph

Background: During articulation the velopharynx needs to be opened and closed rapidly and a tight closure is needed. Based on the hypothesis that patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) produce lower pressures in the velopharynx than healthy individuals, this study compared pressure profiles of the velopharyngeal closure during articulation of different sounds between healthy participants and patients with surgically closed unilateral CLP (UCLP) using high resolution manometry (HRM). Materials and methods: Ten healthy adult volunteers (group 1: 20-25.5 years) and ten patients with a non-syndromic surgically reconstructed UCLP (group 2: 19.1-26.9 years) were included in this study. Pressure profiles during the articulation of four sounds (/i:/, /s/, /ʃ/ and /n/) were measured by HRM. Maximum, minimum and average pressures, time intervals as well as detection of a previously described 3-phase-model were compared.Results: Both groups presented with similar pressure curves for each phoneme with regards to the phases described and pressure peaks, but differed in total pressures. An exception was noted for the sound /i:/, where a 3-phase-model could not be seen for most patients with UCLP. Differences in velopharynx pressures of 50% and more were found between the two groups. Maximum and average pressures in the production of the alveolar fricative reached statistical significance.Conclusions: It can be concluded that velopharyngeal pressures of patients with UCLP are not sufficient to eliminate nasal resonance or turbulence during articulation, especially for more complex sounds. These results support a general understanding of hypernasality during speech implying a (relative) velopharyngeal insufficiency., Hintergrund: Während der Artikulation öffnet und schließt sich der velopharyngeale Abschluss in schnellen Bewegungsabfolgen und für die Bildung einiger Laute ist ein vollständiger Abschluss notwendig. Für Patient_innen mit Lippen-, Kiefer-, Gaumenspalte (LKG) ist bekannt, dass die Verschlussdrücke im Velopharynx beim Schlucken reduziert sind. Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Druckprofile von Patient_innen mit unilateraler LKG und gesunden Proband_innen mittels Hochauflösungsmanometrie (HRM) zu vergleichen und zu evaluieren, ob bei der Produktion verschiedener Sprachlaute ebenfalls Druckunterschiede im Velopharynx bestehen.Material und Methoden: Es wurden 10 gesunde Erwachsene (Gruppe 1: 20-25,5 Jahre) und 10 Patient_innen mit einer nicht-syndromalen operativ verschlossenen unilateralen LKG (Gruppe 2: 19,1-26,9 Jahre) untersucht. HRM-Verschlussdruckprofile wurden während der Artikulation von 4 Sprachlauten (/i:/, /s/, /ʃ/ und /n/) aufgezeichnet. Es wurden Maximal-, Minimal- und Durchschnittsdrücke sowie Zeitintervalle ermittelt. Zudem wurden die Druckprofile mit einem zuvor beschriebenen 3-Phasen-Phonationsmodell verglichen.Ergebnisse: In beiden Gruppen zeigten sich in Bezug auf die Phonationsphasen ähnliche Druckprofile für die produzierten Laute, allerdings lagen unterschiedliche Gesamtdrücke vor. Eine Ausnahme stellte die Realisation des Lautes /i:/ dar, bei der sich bei den meisten Patient_innen mit LKG keine drei Phonationsphasen erkennen ließen. Zwischen den beiden Gruppen existierten Druckunterschiede in der Velopharynxregion von 50% und mehr. Es fanden sich statistisch signifikante Unterschiede bei den Maximaldruck- und durchschnittlichen Druckwerten bei der Produktion von alveolaren Frikativen. Diskussion: Die reduzierten velopharyngealen Verschlussdrücke bei Patient_innen mit LKG tragen wahrscheinlich dazu bei, dass nasale Resonanzen und Turbulenzen nicht ausreichend eliminiert und komplexere Laute dadurch nicht korrekt gebildet werden. Die hier erhobene

Since 2016, there has been a flood of research on the US right spanning disciplines and methodologies. This article theorizes a conceptual heuristic drawn from the writing of Stuart Hall to integrate this scholarship. To make the case for what I term Hall’s political sociology, I stage a dialogue with Arlie Hochschild, whose 2016 ethnography Strangers in Their Own Land has become a classic in the literature. While both Hall and Hochschild stress the importance of documenting the affective nature of political subjectivities, Hochschild’s investment in a politics of reconciliation prevents her from scaling analysis up to political elites, a move that would enable her to better contextualize her findings. Hall offers a model for such an approach, as he connects political subjectivities to acts of articulation; these acts to hegemonic projects; and the impact of such projects to the conjuncture. I stylize Hall’s four-step conceptual frame as a relational cycle because it reconnects the historicizing work of conjunctural analysis to the felt experience of individual subjectivities. Beyond outlining Hall’s political sociology, I illustrate how its use as a heuristic can integrate recent research on the US right. This scheme corrects for an analytic shortcoming driven by Hochschild’s politics of reconciliation, namely a view that political progress will emerge from small-scale, cross-partisan dialogue. Though Hall offers no easy answers to the political questions of our time, his relational political sociology provides a tool for interlacing the research we have, thus rendering the massive challenges of the moment visible in all their detail.

Nikolai Kapustin's Op. 40 Eight Concert Etudes (1984) have grown increasingly popular amongst conservatory students and professional pianists around the world. This project revolves around the seventh etude, “Intermezzo”. Through a comparative recording analysis of four performances, it aims to offer the reader with a variety of interpretative choices and to give further insight into the different styles of the performers. The recordings of Nikolai Kapustin, Nikolai Petrov, John Salmon, and Catherine Gordeladze of Kapustin’s “Intermezzo” were analysed through the three music parameters of tempo, rubato, and articulation with the help of the computer program Sonic Visualizer. The results were condensed into graphs and consequently summarized into different overall approaches. Examples of such approaches include Kapustin’s rhythmically intense approach, Petrov’s spontaneous and vibrant rendition, Gordeladze’s lyrical style, and Salmon’s restrained approach. These findings demonstrate how the different choices of the performers work together to form the overall approach of the recording. Consequently, the reader may also use these findings to inform their own interpretation when learning this piece. This minor thesis constitutes 25% of the requirements of the degree and is complemented by a performance portfolio worth 75%. The performance component can be accessed via the links on Google Drive and YouTube. The performance portfolio consists of: Kapustin, Nikolai (1937-2020) – No. 7 "Intermezzo" from Eight Concert Etudes Op. 40 Bach, Johann Sebastian (1685-1750) – Toccata in C minor, BWV 911 Chopin, Frederic (1810-1849) – Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52 Beethoven, Ludwig van (1770-1827) – Sonata No. 31 in Ab Major, Op. 110 Ginastera, Alberto (1916-1983) – Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 28 (1961) The Ginastera piano concerto was recorded with conductor Richard Davis and the University of Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia during the 2023 UMSO Asia Tour.

This essay is a qualitative interview study with Sami craftspeople. The purpose of the study is to outline and analyse how my informants, being active Sami crafts people, relate to tradition, and tradition in a contemporary society. The analysis is carried out by examining the empirical material against the theoretical concept tradition, constructed by Michael L. Satlow. The methodological understanding of the material builds on discourse analysis; therefore, the analysed material is subsequently interpreted using the theoretical term articulation or articulative practices following discourse analysis by Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau. The analysis concludes that Sami craft making is a religious tradition, and further shows that certain traditional narratives are articulated in order to assert the stability of the tradition, in a contemporary and digital society.

This paper addresses how to enrich a map-based representation for reviewing walking tours with the features of trajectory mapping and tracing animation. Generally, a trajectory generated by raw GPS data can often be difficult to browse through on a map. To resolve this issue, we first illustrated tangled trajectory lines, inaccurate indoor positioning, and unstable trajectory lines as problems encountered when mapping raw trajectory data. Then, we proposed a new framework that focuses on GPS horizontal accuracy to locate indoor location points and find stopping points on an accelerometer. We also applied a conventional line simplification algorithm to make the trajectory cleaner and then integrated the extracted points with the clean trajectory line. Furthermore, our experiments with some actual logs of walking tours demonstrated that articulated trajectory mapping, which comprises simplification and characterization methods, sufficiently reliable and effective for better reviewing experiences. The paper contributes to the research on cleaning up map-based displays and tracing animations of raw trajectory GPS data by using not only location data but also sensor data that smartphones can collect.

This study examines the discursive development of the viral online phenomenon known by the hashtag #swedengate. Having originally revolved around Swedish dinner customs, the discussion and the meaning of ‘Swedengate’ soon came to encompass more serious themes, including various forms of criticism directed at Sweden. Due to the political significance such a development could imply, this study aims to map the renegotiation of meaning of the phenomenon over time and analyze it using a discourse theoretical framework. Moreover, to reflect upon the political aspect of such renegotiation, by contrasting Swedengate to literature on hashtag politics, virality and nation branding. Empirically, the study draws on Twitter hashtag data that represents concurrent hashtag usage related to the hashtag #swedengate within a time span of 39 weeks. Using social network analysis, this data is visualized and presented as a network graph offering a discursive and temporal representation of the interaction that is constitutive of Swedengate. With reference to several of Laclau and Mouffe's key concepts, the analysis shows that the graph can be understood as an articulation process, within which the hashtag #sweden functions as a floating signifier whose meaning is negotiated upon by various antagonistically positioned discourses. As a result of the floating signifier being articulated differently and through the formation of equivalence chains, the meaning of Swedengate came to include everything from vaccine skepticism to criticism of the Swedish government. Consequently, the study discusses the possibility of phenomenon such as Swedengate being exploited by actors with a specific political ambition.

El presente artículo pretende, por un lado, impulsar el posicionamiento del taller de diseño como un instrumento didáctico relevante para el aprendizaje significativo entre los estudiantes de nivel superior y de posgrado que participan en él y, por otro lado, poner sobre la mesa dos variables que, de acuerdo con la experiencia de un grupo de trabajo especializado, inciden de manera importante en su desempeño y en las implicaciones respecto a la generación de conocimientos, habilidades y competencias de los estudiantes participantes: la articulación interna y la vinculación estratégica con el entorno. En la parte final, el artículo pondera al taller de diseño como un instrumento didáctico relevante no sólo para impulsar el aprendizaje significativo, sino además para asumirlo como un instrumento de evaluación del aprendizaje en programas educativos de nivel superior y de posgrado no necesariamente relacionados con el arte, el diseño o la arquitectura. Su contenido tiene como fundamento una revisión documental de la experiencia de un grupo de trabajo académico, de gestión y de investigación que desde hace 5 años ha implementado procesos de colaboración transversal entre programas de licenciatura y de posgrado (UDG) para promover un modelo de trabajo multidisciplinario e interdisciplinario. Se expone además, que lejos de ser un espacio de trabajo propio de programas educativos relacionados con disciplinas vinculadas al arte, al diseño o la arquitectura, el taller de diseño es una construcción pedagógica con implicaciones positivas para el desarrollo de habilidades y competencias entre los involucrados en él.

Science as an object of knowledge has been a central concern of the social sciences since the first decades of the 20th century. However, the object itself is neither static nor unchanging, and has been transformed over time. In recent decades, the innovative approach of gender studies has gained considerable ground in the social studies of science. While some of them have paid attention to the relations of the professional field with the family sphere and have investigated the ways in which structural factors of the life course play an important role in research careers, there are still few theoretical and empirical contributions that think of science as productive work highly articulated with social reproduction. Although this axis of enquiry is still incipient in social studies of science, it is consolidated within the social sciences hand in hand with labour studies and feminist economics. Within the framework of the important contributions made, this paper seeks to review the existing literature and a conceptual approach to the understanding of scientific work and its articulations with reproductive work, taking gender as a category of analysis. The paper is organised in four parts: in the first section we will review the critiques of the concept of work inherited from modernity and we will focus on thinking of science as work with specificities; in the second section we will address the processes of social reproduction in terms of the articulation of spheres; in the third section we will consider the study of gender and science; in the fourth section, we will describe the way in which this conceptual proposal operates in the empirical study carried out; finally, we will present a systematisation of the concepts developed throughout the paper and a conceptual approach to their approach., La ciencia como objeto de conocimiento ha sido una preocupación central de las ciencias sociales desde las primeras décadas del siglo xx. Sin embargo, el mismo objeto no resulta estático ni invariable sino que fue transformado a lo largo del tiempo. En las últimas décadas, el abordaje innovador de los estudios de género ha ganado considerable lugar en los estudios sociales de la ciencia. Si bien algunos de ellos han prestado atención a las relaciones del campo profesional con el ámbito familiar y han indagado los modos en que los factores estructurales del curso de vida juegan un papel importante en las carreras de investigación, aún son escasos los aportes teóricos y empíricos que piensen a la ciencia como trabajo productivo altamente articulado con la reproducción social. Aunque este eje de investigación es incipiente en los estudios sociales de la ciencia, se encuentra consolidado dentro de las ciencias sociales de la mano de los estudios del trabajo y la economía feminista. Enmarcándonos en estos tres campos, el presente escrito procura realizar una revisión de la literatura existente y una aproximación conceptual para la comprensión del trabajo científico y sus articulaciones con el trabajo de reproducción tomando al género como categoría de análisis. El escrito se encuentra organizado en cinco partes: en el primer apartado realizaremos un recorrido sobre las críticas al concepto de trabajo heredado de la modernidad y nos enfocaremos en pensar la ciencia como trabajo; en el segundo apartado abordaremos los procesos de reproducción social en clave de articulación con el trabajo productivo; en el tercero repasaremos los estudios de género y ciencia; en el cuarto realizaremos una aproximación sobre la forma en que opera esta propuesta conceptual para el estudio empírico; finalmente, presentaremos una sistematización de lo abordado a lo largo del escrito.

This article proposes an analysis of the revolutionary subject in The wretched of the earth by Frantz Fanon under the scope of the later theorical contributions of Antonio Negri and Ernesto Laclau referring to the modes and determinations in which political subjects are formed and, in particular, through their assessments of the fanonian thesis. The article states that we can find in Fanon some of the considerations that allow us to interpret the political subject in national liberation struggles firstly as a multiple and spontaneous, tangent to Negri’s multitude and secondly, as a unified and articulated subject, related to Laclau’s people, which will eventually return to new correspondences with Negri. This analytical structure will be complemented with references to the divergent standpoint of Vladimir Lenin and Rosa Luxemburg regarding the issue of spontaneity and the organization of the revolutionary subject., El presente artículo plantea un análisis del sujeto revolucionario en Los condenados de la tierra de Frantz Fanon bajo la lente de las posteriores contribuciones teóricas de Antonio Negri y Ernesto Laclau a los modos y determinaciones de construcción de los sujetos políticos en general y a través de sus valoraciones de las tesis fanonianas en particular. En concreto, se argumentará que en Fanon se encuentran matizada y entrecruzadamente algunas de las consideraciones que permiten interpretar el sujeto político que se alza en la lucha de liberación nacional, primero como un sujeto múltiple y espontáneo de características tangentes a la multitud negriana, y segundo como un sujeto articulado unificadamente en relación con el pueblo laclausiano que, eventualmente, acabará recalando en nuevas correspondencias exegéticas con Negri. Este cuerpo analítico será complementado con referencias a la postura divergente de Vladímir Lenin y de Rosa Luxemburgo en torno a la cuestión del espontaneísmo y la organización del sujeto revolucionario.

Kommunikation ist grundlegende Voraussetzung für gesellschaftliche Handlungsfähigkeit. Aufgrund des digitalen Wandels kommunizieren Individuen nicht nur vermehrt mit und innerhalb digitaler Medien, sondern können sich auch zunehmend mittels der Gestaltung medialer und digitaler Artefakte artikulieren. In diesem Beitrag widmen wir uns dem Gestalten von Medien und Technik als erweiterte Form menschlicher Artikulation. Im Rahmen einer medienethnografischen Studie auf Basis des Frankfurt-Dreiecks als Referenzrahmen spürten wir den neuen Artikulationsformen nach, die digitale Medien und Technik anbieten. Die Auswertung zeigt, dass diese neuen Artikulationsformen von den meisten Proband:innen (noch?) nicht umfänglich genutzt werden – zumindest nicht in allen möglichen Dimensionen. Technische Artikulationsfähigkeit als Erweiterung individueller Handlungskompetenz ist offenbar keine ‹angeborene› menschliche Befähigung, sondern eine Kompetenz, die erlernt werden kann – etwa wie eine Sprache oder ein Musikinstrument. Wie auch Medienbildung können technische Artikulationsfähigkeiten pädagogisch gefördert werden – gleichermassen sollten sie es auch. Denn in einer digitalen Welt dient die pädagogisch angeleitete Ausprägung von Artikulationsfähigkeiten nichts Geringerem als dem Erhalt gesellschaftlicher Handlungsfähigkeit. In der praktischen Arbeit in Makerspaces konnten wir beobachten, dass gerade die handlungsorientierten Ansätze Tinkering, Coding, Making oder Hacking zur gezielten Förderung der in diesem Beitrag exemplarisch identifizierten Artikulationsformen beitragen können., The individual’s capacity to become a socially empowered subject in modern society rests upon their ability to communicate. As they respond to the digital change, individuals are not only broadening their communicative activities with and within digital media, they are also being equipped with the potential to express themselves via digital and media artefacts. This article therefore approaches creative media and technical practice as extended forms of human expression. Taking the Frankfurt-Triangle [Frankfurt-Dreieck] as our framework of reference and by conducting media-ethnographic interviews with students in makerspaces, this article examines the various opportunities for expression presented by digital media and technology. Our findings show that most of our interviewees are not (yet?) using these new forms of expression very extensively – certainly not to their full potential. This shows that human expressiveness is not an ‹innate› ability, but something that must be learned – like learning a language or a musical instrument. As with media literacy, the potential for expression through technology may be enhanced in the classroom – and should be. This is because, in a digital world, the educational development of an individual’s expressive ability means nothing less than the preservation of their social empowerment. Practical work in makerspaces demonstrates that the targeted and action-oriented pedagogical approaches of tinkering, coding, making and hacking are appropriate for promoting the forms of expression identified in this study.

The purpose of this study was to determine if students who received video-based lessons of the place, manner, and voicing (PMV) of speech sounds demonstrated gains on reading achievement compared to students who did not receive the intervention. A quantitative, quasi-experimental study with a pretest, posttest was developed, using the instrumentation of the reading Measures of Academic Progress (MAP). This study addressed gaps in the existing research regarding the impact of video-based instruction of speech sounds on reading achievement. Participants in this study (n=136) were drawn from a convenience sample of kindergarten students attending two elementary schools within the same school district during the 2022-2023 school year. Over the 2022-2023 school year, video lessons on place, manner, and voicing of speech sounds aligned with the district’s reading curriculum were provided to the experimental school’s kindergarten teachers to play for their students. The control school students received standard instruction. Data was collected via a records review following the fall 2022 and spring 2023 reading MAP. Each participant served as their own control, and the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyze the MAP data. The results of the study found a statistically significant difference in overall reading MAP and foundational skills MAP between the control and experimental groups when controlling for prior reading achievement. This study found evidence to support the incorporation of video-based, whole group lessons of PMV on reading achievement. Recommendations for future research include expanding the current study to more schools within the district, region, and state.

Introduction. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the research of factors that can potentially contribute to the devel- opment of speech and language impairment. It is believed that the results of these studies can contribute to better planning and imple- mentation of early intervention in the field of speech and language in children. The aim of this research is to determine the influence of risk factors on the appearance of language disorders in children. Methods. A total of 97 children aged four to six who participated in the research were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 54 respondents with a speech and language impairment, and the second group consisted of 43 respondents with typical language de- velopment. In both groups, 70 children with risk factors were found. All children with speech and language impairment had some of the risk factors (diseases of mothers during pregnancy, medication during pregnancy, premature labor, caesarean section, asphyxia, disease of newborns, seizures, third tonsil, shortened frenulum, ear infection), while in the group of children with typical language development, 16 respondents had risk factors. The Global Articulation Test, Vocabulary Test, and Comic Story Test were used to assess speech and language abilities. Data on risk factors were obtained on the basis of a survey for parents, which was constructed for the purposes of this research. Results. The results showed that children with risk factors had signifi- cantly worse results on the articulation test and the vocabulary test compared to children without risk factors. The results obtained on the Strip Story test did not show that these two groups differ significantly in terms of the number of words produced, the number of sentences and the grammatical structure of the sentence. Conclusion. In general, the results of this research showed a signifi- cant connection between risk factors and speech and language dis- order in children., Uvod. Posljednjih godina se sve više pažnje posvećuje istraživanju faktora koji potencijalno mogu doprinijeti poremećaju razvoja govora i jezika. Smatra se da rezultati ovih istraživanja mogu pomoći boljem planiranju i sprovođenju rane intervencije u oblasti govora i jezika kod djece. Cilj ovog istra- živanja je utvrđivanje uticaja riziko faktora na pojavu jezičkih poremećaja kod djece. Metode. U istraživanju je učestvovalo 97 djece uzrasta od četiri do šest godina, koja su podijeljena u dvije grupe. Prvu grupu činilo je 54 ispitanika sa poremećajem u govorno- jezičkom razvoju, a drugu 43 ispitanika tipičnog jezičkog razvoja. U obje grupe pronađeno je 70 djece koja imaju riziko faktore. Sva djeca sa poremećajem u govorno-jezičkom razvoju imala su neki od riziko faktora (oboljenja majki u trudnoći, kao i lijekovi koje su majke pile u toku trudnoće, prematurus, carski rez, asfiksija, bolest novorođenčadi, epileptični napadi, treći krajnik, skraćen frenulum, upala uha), dok je u grupi djece tipičnog jezičkog razvoja 16 ispitanika imalo riziko faktore. Za procjenu govorno-jezičkih spo- sobnosti korišćeni su Globalni artikulacioni test, Test-rječnik i test Strip priča. Podaci o riziko faktori- ma dobijeni su na osnovu ankete za roditelje koja je konstruisana za potrebe ovog istraživanja. Rezultati. Rezultati su pokazali da djeca sa riziko faktorima imaju značajno lošije rezultate na testu artikulacije i testu rječnika u poređenju sa djecom bez podataka o riziko faktorima. Rezultati dobijeni na testu Strip priča nisu pokazali da se ove dvije grupe statistički značajno razlikuju u pogledu broja produkovanih riječi, broja rečenica i gramatičkoj strukturi rečenice. Zaključak. Generalno gledano, rezultati ovog istraživanja pokazali su da postoji značajna poveza- nost između riziko faktora i smetnji u razvoju govorno-jezičkih sposobnosti kod djece.

This paper demonstrates how agency emerges as teaching team members of three SSH MOOCs reflexively discuss the affordances and limitations offered by edX. Special attention goes to the entanglement of forums with(in) their courses. The authors approach the edX platform as a discursive material knot, a dispositif that can be partially configured by teaching team members. The interviewees interpretively articulate institutional pressures, technological characteristics of edX, perceived learner behavior behaviors, and pedagogic theories and preferences constitutive of their MOOCs. The authors identify six forms of agency: catalyst, surveillance-based; expertise-oriented; socializing; guiding; and humanizing. They argue and demonstrate that agency emerges as the result of complex and interpretive articulations of material and discursive elements., info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Since language is the collective focus of this series, the present paper follows both historiographical and theoretical perspectives. The first deals with Prague as a Middle-European town, with a German and Czech University from 1882, where a philosopher, Anton Marty, from the Brentano school,focuses on language and semasiology in the framework of a psychology from an empirical standpoint. He cites Christian von Ehrenfels, and underscores the relational approach to psychic dynamism but, crucially, he emphasises the oscillations between linguistic “sketches” and semantic comprehension. Sprache ist eine Skizze, listeners are lead through suggestions, Nebenvorstellungen, to grasp meanings, Bedeutungen which do not coincide with the mere addition of explicit, variable components. Simultaneously, Vilém Mathesius, forthcoming founder (1926) of the Prague Linguistic Circle, dealing with English language and literature, enquires into the spontaneous ability of listeners to grasp, infer, integrate ellipsis in a sentence, consisting of a missing word, in omissione vocabuli, quod non dictum tamen cogitatur. Language enquiries will then require psychology, will aim to explain inferences, to infer implicit from explicit. The effort to obtain the whole, via super- or even subsummativity processes, has been a special topic for Gestalt psychology. Context being the proper habitat for both languageand mind, we follow the fil rouge which leads directly to Gestalt contributions and further developments, e.g., inferential semantics and pragmatics. In conversation, as in architecture, less is more. We strive to prove this., Da die Sprache der kollektive Fokus dieser Serie ist, hat der vorliegende Beitrag sowohl eine historiographische als auch eine theoretische Perspektive. Er handelt von Prag als einer Mittel-Europäischen Stadt mit einer Deutschen und einer Tschechischen Universität seit 1882, wo sich ein Philosoph aus der Brentano Schule, Anton Marty, auf Sprache und Semasiologie im Rahmen einer Psychologie vom empirischen Standpunkt konzentriert. Marty zitiert Christian von Ehrenfels und unterstreicht einen relationalen Ansatz zur psychischen Dynamik, aber er betont die Schwankungen zwischen sprachlichen Skizzen und semantischer Verständigung. Sprache ist eine Skizze: Zuhörer sind durch Suggestive oder Nebenvorstellungen dazu geführt, Bedeutungen zu verstehen, die nicht mit der einfachen Summe der expliziten, variablen Komponenten zusammenfallen. In denselben Jahren untersucht Vilém Mathesius, zukünftiger (1926) Gründer des Prager Linguisten Kreises, der sich mit der englischen Sprache und Literatur befasst, die spontane Begabung der Zuhörer, eine Ellipse in einem Satz, d.h. ein fehlendes Wort, omissio vocabuli, quod non dictum tamen cogitatur zu begreifen, erschließen, ergänzen. Sprachliche Untersuchungen erfordern dann Psychologie, und zielen darauf ab, Inferenzen zu erklären, das Implizit aus Explizitem zu schließen. Die Bemühung durch Über- oder sogar Subsummativitätsprozesse das Ganze zu erhalten war ein besonderes Thema der Gestaltpsychologie. Da der Kontext der richtige Lebensraum für beide Sprache und Geist ist, dann folgen wir dem roten Faden, der uns direkt zu Gestalt Beiträgen und weiteren Entwicklungen führt, z.B. zu inferentiellen Semantik und Pragmatik. Im Gespräch gilt wie in Architektur: less is more, weniger ist mehr. Wir sind bestrebt, das zu beweisen. Stichwörter: Gegebene Ganzen in

The articulation between Teaching, Research and Extension represents a legal condition for the existence of Higher Education Institutions - IES, according to the Federal Constitution of 1988, Article 207, which establishes: "Universities enjoy didactic-scientific, administrative and of financial and patrimonial management, and will obey the principle of inseparability between Teaching, Research and Extension”, sine qua non condition for critical training of future professionals and citizens based on the production and socialization of knowledge, promoting the articulation between the real situation and the ideal of the different operational and administrative, conceptual and pedagogical acts. The article has as general objective to evaluate the articulation between teaching, research and extension as a motivating instrument for the student to participate in Scientific Initiation programs. This is a documental research that sought to analyze the indicators of the Pedagogical Project of Courses-PPC of a Higher Education Institution, regarding evidence of teaching, research and extension articulation. It was observed that once the articulation between teaching, research and extension is not identified in the course evaluation instrument, there are no elements that motivate students to participate in scientific initiation programs, due to the lack of requirement of the National Institute of Studies and Educational Research Anísio Teixeira – INEP.

The triple tonguing is a technique that instruments such as the clarinet don’t usually. It consists of playing chopped notes at high speeds. The instrument seems to offer resistance to the need for reed vibration to produce sound. The objective is to demonstrate that the technique can be interpreted at high speeds on this instrument thanks to ICT. A sample of 13 clarinetists with a minimum level of Professional Grade was collected. The initial test consisted of recording 2 exercises (with Audacity). This was repeated after 6 weeks of study to check if there was evolution. In this period, the participants studied 11 exercises (written with Sibelius7) using the ZyMi software. Quality was maintained by examining the spectrograms with Sonic Visualiser. The result obtained in the first recording were very low speeds (between 32 and 75). The participants found difficulties mainly in the two upper registers. On the other hand, in the last recording, 7 clarinetists managed to double the tempi, 5 increased it five times and only 1 decreased it in the second exercise because he could not dedicate time in the last study phase to practicing the technique. In addition, they collaterally improved other aspects such as the stability of the pulsation when using the ZyMi software and improved the air emission and the loudness when working with the Sonic Visualiser. Finally, the study concludes that increasing the tempo of the technique is possible when using ICT, since it allows us to measure exactly how much the speed and quality of the exercises increase., El triple picado es una técnica que instrumentos como el clarinete no suelen utilizar, pero que consiste en tocar notas picadas a mucha velocidad. El instrumento parece ofrecer resistencia ante la necesidad de la vibración de la caña para producir sonido. El objetivo es demostrar que la técnica puede interpretarse a altas velocidades en este instrumento gracias a las TIC. Se recogió una muestra de 13 clarinetistas con nivel mínimo de Grado Profesional. La prueba inicial consistió en grabar 2 ejercicios (con Audacity). Esta se repitió tras 6 semanas de estudio para comprobar si existía evolución. En este periodo, los participantes estudiaron 11 ejercicios (escritos con Sibelius7) utilizando el software ZyMi. Se mantuvo la calidad examinando los espectrogramas con Sonic Visualiser. El resultado obtenido en la primera grabación fueron velocidades muy bajas (entre 32 y 75). Los participantes encontraron dificultades principalmente en los dos registros superiores. En cambio, en la última grabación, 7 clarinetistas lograron duplicar los tempi, 5 la quintuplicaron y sólo 1 la disminuyó en el segundo ejercicio porque no pudo dedicar tiempo en la última fase de estudio a practicar la técnica. Además, mejoraron colateralmente otros aspectos como la estabilidad de la pulsación al utilizar el software ZyMi y mejoraron la emisión de aire y la sonoridad al trabajar con Sonic Visualiser. Finalmente, del estudio se concluye que el aumento de tempo de la técnica sí es posible al utilizar las TIC pues permite medir exactamente cuánto asciende la velocidad y la calidad de los ejercicios.

On clarinet, the interpretation of the double tonguing is complex, especially at high speeds. The objective is to use ICT to measure the improvement of the speed of the double tonguing on clarinet. A pilot test is carried out with 13 participants with the Title of Professional Clarinet Teaching. 2 exercises were recorded on two occasions. The first recording was intended to measure the maximum speed at which the participants performed the double tonguing exercises. Subsequently, 29 pieces were provided for 8 weeks. Finally, a last recording was made to see if there was improvement. The technological tools used were ZyMi (for the recordings and the study), Audacity (to make the recordings), Sibelius7 (to write exercises) and Sonic Visualiser (to ensure the quality of the technique). The initial speeds were quite low since at a higher tempo the quality of the technique was lost. On the other hand, in the last recording, 5 of the participants had doubled the speeds and 4 tripled them. In addition, participants 3 and 5 increased the speed three times in the first exercise and doubled it on second. For its part, participant 13 increased from black equal to 13 to black equal to 105 in the first exercise and up to 85 in the second with just a few weeks of study. It can be concluded that the use of ICT helped the participants to increase the speed without execution errors. In addition, they improved in tempo stability when using ZyMi from slow speeds., En el clarinete, la interpretación del doble picado resulta compleja especialmente a altas velocidades. El objetivo es utilizar las TIC para medir la mejora de la velocidad del doble picado en este instrumento. Se realiza una prueba piloto con 13 participantes con el Título de Enseñanzas Profesionales de Clarinete. Se grabaron 2 ejercicios en dos ocasiones. La primera grabación pretendía medir la velocidad máxima a la que los participantes interpretaban los ejercicios con doble picado. Posteriormente, se facilitaron 29 piezas durante 8 semanas. Finalmente, se realizó una última grabación para observar si existía mejoría. Las herramientas tecnológicas utilizadas fueron ZyMi (para las grabaciones y el estudio), Audacity (para realizar las grabaciones), Sibelius7 (para escribir ejercicios) y Sonic Visualiser (para asegurar la calidad de la técnica). Las velocidades iniciales fueron bastante bajas puesto que a un tempo mayor se perdía calidad en la técnica. En cambio, en la última grabación, 5 de los participantes habían doblado las velocidades y 4 las triplicaron. Además, los Participantes 3 y 5 aumentaron tres veces la velocidad en el primero de los ejercicios y la doblaron en el segundo. Por su parte, el Participante 13 aumentó desde negra igual a 13 hasta negra igual a 105 en el primer ejercicio y hasta 85 en el segundo con apenas unas semanas de estudio. Se puede concluir que el uso de las TIC ayudó a los participantes a aumentar la velocidad sin errores de ejecución. Además, mejoraron en estabilidad el tempo al utilizar ZyMi desde velocidades bajas.

The aim of this paper is to explore the rhetoric of sound in high fidelity magazines, and how this rhetoric is linked to a technological discourse. Rhetoric of sound refers to the magazines’ efforts to describe sound and music experiencesin words. The aim is also to show how an identified technological discourse legitimizes a specific social order. The paper argues that the technological discourse naturalizes the link between technology and masculinity based on notions of gender differences, and that it reproduces a technological worldview in general by offering multiple positions of identification.

Research in mathematics didactics has as a testing ground the work carried out by teachers in the classroom, the transformation of knowledge into skills and abilities, firm and shared, is the result of the techniques they use to mobilize the cognitive resources of students. This didactics-in-use favors the articulation of the mathematics curriculum, which has pertinent relationships with the didactic theories that intervene in the different experiences of significant learning of the study group. The student's study plan is modified to put into play the reconstruction of mathematical knowledge and affect learning., La investigación en didáctica de las matemáticas tiene como campo de pruebas los trabajos que desarrollan los docentes en las aulas de clase, la transformación del conocimiento en habilidades y destrezas, firmes y compartidas, es el resultado de las técnicas que utilizan para movilizar los recursos cognitivos de los estudiantes. Esta didactización favorece la articulación del currículo de matemáticas, que guarda relaciones de pertinencia con las teorías didácticas que intervienen en las diferentes experiencias de aprendizaje significativo del grupo de estudio. El plan de estudio del estudiante se modifica para poner en juego la reconstrucción del conocimiento matemático y afectar los aprendizajes.

Hypokinetic dysarthria is a motor speech disorder often present during Parkinson’s disease. It affects the speech system, including articulatory abilities. There are several speech parameters describing this domain, so it is suggested to deal with their mutual comparison. This work aims to design and describe an algorithm for calculating the parameters of articulation, adapted for the Czech language, and then compare their discriminative power. The acoustic analysis of speech included in it is done via the Praat program and basic machine learning algorithms such as Expectation-Maximization, K-means and linear regression are used for the subsequent data processing. The Mann-Whitney U test, descriptive statistics and Random Forest machine learning model using cross-validation and balanced accuracy is used for evaluation. The results are scripts for automatic assessment of vowel space area, for calculating articulation parameters and for their evaluation. The outputs of the analysis of speech recording database prove that differences in articulation can indeed be observed between normal and dysarthric speech. Based on the mutual comparison of results, it is therefore proposed in the work which parameters are being appropriate for further dealing with this issue.

My purpose with this thesis is to examine Adorno’s rethinking of the aesthetic concept of form, in his last work, Ästhetische Theorie. Artistic form has in the tradition of aesthetics been quite forgotten according to Adorno. He even calls it, “the blind spot of aesthetics”. To rework the concept of form he introduces a set of conceptual relationships that takes an indispensable part in the new multifaceted concept of form. In fact, there is a plurality of concepts that is being put to work, to arrive at a new understanding of form. My methodological approach has been to trace these conceptual relationships that revolve around the aesthetic form and to highlight their connections. My contribution with this undertaking is to accentuate the weightiness of the form concept in Ästhetische Theorie. In the concept, Adorno’s materialistic thinking also becomes discernible. This aspect is especially mirrored in the theoretical attention he pays to the aesthetic material and the artifact itself. Another purpose of this thesis is to explore how the aesthetic form can be critical and to fathom what it implies. Criticism in Ästhetische Theorie is closely related to what Adorno calls aesthetic truth, which is taking shape in the artistic form. The form is thus related to many of the essential concepts in Ästhetische Theorie, such as truth and illusion. The study further examines how the critical form can be autonomous, while at the same time being deeply enmeshed in society.

The article deals with how to establish the relationships between the nursery school, the preschool grade in primary schools and the Educate your child program, to improve the work of educational agents, while organizing the educational process. The aim of the work is to present a theoretical-methodological conception that enables the articulation between the modalities of attention to the child of early childhood and is specified in revealing the relationships between the components that make up early childhood, which is distinguished by offering the design of the interrelation of the personal and organizational components for the solution of the problems that are manifested in different work scenarios. The foundations of the socio-critical approach are assumed, which enables the use of participatory action research as a fundamental method. The main methods of the theoretical level were applied: historical logical, synthetic analytical, inductive-deductive, structural systemic and as empirical methods: observation, interview, survey, modeling, documentary analysis and triangulation of sources. In addition to the percentage calculation and qualitative data analysis for the comparison and interpretation of the results obtained in educational practice, the research was able to modify the performance of the educational agents involved in the educational process, and from their joint action to solve or mitigate the effects of the shortcomings that occur in practice in the modalities of early childhood care through institutional and non-institutional channels., O artigo aborda como estabelecer relações entre a creche, a pré-escola do ensino fundamental e o programa Eduque seu filho, para aprimorar o trabalho dos agentes educativos, ao mesmo tempo em que organiza o processo educativo. O objetivo do trabalho é apresentar uma concepção teórico-metodológica que possibilite a articulação entre as modalidades de atenção à criança da primeira infância e se especifique ao revelar as relações entre os componentes que compõem a primeira infância, que se distingue por oferecer a desenho da inter-relação dos componentes pessoais e de organização para a solução dos problemas que se manifestam em diferentes cenários de trabalho. Assume-se os fundamentos da abordagem sociocrítica, que possibilita a utilização da pesquisa-ação participativa como método fundamental. Foram aplicados os principais métodos do nível teórico: histórico-lógico, analítico-sintético, indutivo-dedutivo, sistêmico-estrutural e como métodos empíricos: observação, entrevista, levantamento, modelagem, análise documental e triangulação de fontes; Além disso, o cálculo percentual e a análise qualitativa dos dados para a comparação e interpretação dos resultados obtidos na prática educativa Na investigação foi possível modificar a atuação dos agentes educacionais que intervêm no processo educativo, e a partir de sua ação para solucionar ou mitigar os efeitos das insuficiências que aparecem na prática nas modalidades de atenção à primeira infância por meio de canais institucionais e não institucionais., El artículo aborda cómo establecer las relaciones entre el círculo infantil, el grado preescolar en las escuelas primarias y el programa Educa a tu hijo, para perfeccionar la labor de los agentes educativos, a la vez que se organiza el proceso educativo.

El objetivo del presente artículo es trazar una posible articulación entre feminismo y peronismo, teniendo en cuenta su histórica y aparentemente irreductible enemistad. Para ello, la metodología empleada consistirá en un análisis doble: histórico-genealógico y filosófico-político. Los resultados nos permitirán examinar las tensiones y los intersticios a través de los cuales puede forjarse un vínculo amistoso entre estos dos significantes aparentemente antagónicos para, a modo de conclusiones, contribuir a una teoría de la militancia (cf. Selci, 2018) comprometida en la construcción de un feminismo peronista., The purpose of this article is to draw a possible articulation between feminism and Peronism, considering their historical and apparently irreducible enmity. To do that, the methodology will consist in a double analysis: historical-genealogical and politicophilosophical. The results will allow us to examine the tensions and interstices through which a friendly bond between these two apparently antagonistic signifiers can emerge. To conclude, we intend to make some contributions to a theory of militancy engaged with the construction of a Peronist feminism

The author presents the issue of articulation in a broad anatomical context. She describes the most important muscles and structures involved in the process of speaking, and emphasises the importance of a holistic approach to the human body based on the tensegration model. She draws attention to the role of the fascia and the musclefascia chains., The author presents the issue of articulation in a broad anatomical context.

This article calls for an investigation of the way media and information literacy (MIL) projects construct and (de)legitimize particular forms of political subjectivity. The authors argue that the field of critical discourse studies (CDS) offers useful approaches to develop this line of inquiry. They demonstrate this point in a case study of the MIL project of the European Association for Viewers Interests (EAVI). The authors work with a concept of discourse understood as a performative articulatory practice, grounded in linguistic pragmatics and poststructuralist discourse theory. The article provides a qualitative discourse analysis of the way EAVI articulates MIL signifiers with specific concepts of critique and citizenship. The analysis shows that EAVI’s discourse promotes a holistic transformation of the self into an informed, reflexive and critical entity, as well as a type of society that is inclusive, cohesive and participatory. EAVI is also decidedly pro-EU and opposed to nationalist projects., info:eu-repo/semantics/published

[ES] Este trabajo tiene como objetivo el desarrollo de un proyecto arquitectónico a través de las herramientas y metodologías desarrolladas en los cinco años estudiados anteriormente. Esto se realiza a través del análisis y diagnóstico de problemáticas propias del lugar, que se procederá a solucionar con el proyecto; tratando de suplir posibles cadencias y fortalecer los elementos de carácter propio. A su vez, se desarrollará un programa muy complejo al ser una unión de diferentes usos y usuarios que deben convivir en armonía en el mismo espacio; en otro orden, aunar las necesidades intrínsecas de un animal y las humanas en una franja de edad que comprende desde la niñez a la ancianidad. Además, se añade otro usuario, que es toda aquella persona con movilidad reducida o algún tipo de diversidad funcional, ya que la actividad ecuestre está ampliamente documentada como una maravillosa terapia física y psicológica. El resultado es una gradación de usos y zonificaciones vinculadas a los usuarios, que tienen como núcleo la interacción con el animal, materializada en la pista central. Todo esto para conseguir una serie de edificios articulados entre sí, con una geometría propia que sea capaz de conversar con sus distintas partes al hablar un mismo idioma constructivo. La estrategia empleada tiene varios niveles, por un lado tenemos el territorial, donde se proponen una serie de rutas para revitalizar una de las zonas más degradadas de Pinedo, a la vez que se implementan unos cultivos rotativos combinables con la alfalfa (principal fuente de alimento de los caballos); por otro lado, a nivel local, el proyecto se aborda a través de las cubiertas en el paisaje, que serán las encargadas de albergar los usos y actuar como filtro con los límites de la parcela., [EN] The objective of this work is the development of an architectural project through the tools and methodologies developed in the five years previously studied. This is done through the analysis and diagnosis of the problems of the place, which will be solved with the project; trying to make up for possible cadences and strengthen the elements of its own character. At the same time, a very complex program will be developed as it is a union of different uses and users that must coexist in harmony in the same space; in another order, combining the intrinsic needs of an animal and human needs in an age range from childhood to old age. In addition, another user is added, which is anyone with reduced mobility or some kind of functional diversity, since equestrian activity is widely documented as a wonderful physical and psychological therapy. The result is a gradation of uses and zoning linked to the users, whose core is the interaction with the animal, materialized in the central arena. All this to achieve a series of buildings articulated with each other, with their own geometry that is able to converse with its different parts by speaking the same constructive language. The strategy employed has several levels, on the one hand we have the territorial, where a series of routes are proposed to revitalize one of the most degraded areas of Pinedo, while implementing a rotating crops combined with alfalfa (main source of food for horses); on the other hand, at the local level, the project is addressed through the covers in the landscape, which will be responsible for hosting the uses and act as a filter with the limits of the plot.

This research work shows the differences and similarities of vowel sound system in three languages: English, German and Uzbek. There are vowels sounds in any language, but their number is not equal. According to the family of the languages there are some similirities, such as English and German belong to Indo-Europian languages and their phonetic system has the same structures. However, Uzbek is from Turkic languages and it totally differs from English and German

The triple tonguing is considered too complex to be played on the clarinet. Therefore, the objective is to use ICT to improve the quality of the triple tonguing by conducting a pilot test with 13 participants with at least the Certificate of Professional Clarinet Teaching. 2 technical exercises were recorded on two occasions. The first recording was an initial test to know the knowledge of the triple tonguing in each participant and the second one analyzed the improvement experienced after using ICT. Between each recording, participants were given 11 exercises to work the technique for 6 weeks. The technological tools used were: Audacity (to make the recordings), ZyMi (free metronome for the study of the 11 exercises and for the 2 exercises of the recordings), Sibelius7 (to write the exercises) and Sonic Visualiser (to observe the evolution objective of the technique through the spectrograms that showed the defects when performing the exercises). After listening to the recordings and analyzing the colors and shapes resulting from the spectrograms in Sonic Visualiser, it was observed that in the first recording the quality of the triple tonguing was poor in 9 of the participants. In the last recording, everyone managed to do the two exercises with great quality in sound, articulation and rhythm in all registers. It can be concluded that the use of ICT was essential for the participants to improve tempo stability with ZyMi, loudness and articulation by using the auditory and visual sense together in the Sonic Visualiser spectrograms., El triple picado se considera demasiado complejo para desempeñarlo con el clarinete. Por ello, el objetivo es utilizar las TIC para mejorar la calidad del triple picado realizando una prueba piloto con 13 participantes con al menos el Título de Enseñanzas Profesionales de clarinete. Se grabaron 2 ejercicios técnicos en tres ocasiones. La primera grabación fue una prueba inicial para saber el conocimiento del triple picado en cada participante y la última analizaba la mejoría experimentada tras utilizar las TIC. Entre cada grabación se proporcionaron a los participantes 11 ejercicios para trabajar la técnica durante 6 semanas. Las herramientas tecnológicas utilizadas fueron: Audacity (para realizar las grabaciones), ZyMi (metrónomo gratuito para el estudio de los 11 ejercicios y para los 2 ejercicios de las grabaciones), Sibelius7 (para escribir los ejercicios) y Sonic Visualiser (para observar la evolución objetiva de la técnica mediante los espectrogramas que mostraban los defectos al realizar los ejercicios). Tras escuchar las grabaciones y analizar colores y formas resultantes de los espectrogramas en Sonic Visualiser, se observó que en la primera grabación la calidad del triple picado fue deficiente en 9 de los participantes. En la última grabación todos lograron hacer los dos ejercicios con gran calidad en sonoridad, articulación y ritmo en todos los registros. Se puede concluir que el uso de las TIC fue fundamental para que los participantes mejorasen la estabilidad del tempo con ZyMi, la sonoridad y la articulación al utilizar el sentido auditivo y visual conjuntamente en los espectrogramas de Sonic Visualiser.

The verbalization of primary experience is prefigured in the bodily tendency toward expressivity. Language takes up these tendencies and enables the explication of the implicit. Thus, primary bodily experience not only strives for immediate expression in facial expression, gesture, or action, but it also implicitly contains the words that symbolically explicate it, as "proto-language" or "proto-narrative."

The purpose of the artistic research, Moving through Choreography – Curating Choreography as an Artistic Practice, has been to consider choreography and curating in their similarities and differences. Thus, at different phases of the working process, choreography and curating were treated as one and the same artistic practice; while, in other moments, as practices that are distinct from each other. Curating has been implemented as a ‘taking care’ principle and a relational activity impacting the production, presentation and documentation of choreography. Choreography has undergone a process of self-reincarnations, or rather, of trans-carnations, whereby the entire body of work has been scrutinized and altered. Key figure/body/agent of these trans-carnations has been the horse, or rather, the assemblage of human and horse, women and horses, here called ‘Centauring.’ Curating and choreography have been integrated to a scrutiny of the art of riding, specifically, the choreography of dressage. In dressage, the research has identified the rigor needed by the research to both steer and unleash the working process. The research has been pursued by purely artistic means, within a circumscribed field. Different perspectives and the making use of ramifications and loose ends, has proliferated into a plethora of intra-related works, objects and choreographies within which research result and artistic result coincide. The research har proceeded in consecutive phases. Each phase has developed its own specific artistic methodologies. The overarching methodology has provided for a clear navigation of undetermined directions and dramaturgies. The concept of ‘One’ has produced and collected both core outcomes and residual manifestations. The exhibitions and the exhibitor have carried, pursued and embodied the works and otherwise choreographies, throughout the research process., Examensbenämning: Konstnärlig doktorsexamen i performativa och mediala praktiker Engelsk examensbenämning: Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Fine Arts in Performative and Media Based Practices.

The objective of this article is to analyze the process of articulation of information and communication technologies (ICT) carried out by teachers in training in their pedagogical practices of the degree program in Mathematics of the University of the Atlantic, As these technological tools provide us with endless advantages when it comes to addressing topics in math classes, we decided to ask the following question: How are teachers in training in Mathematics at the University of the Atlantic carrying out the process of articulating ICTs in pedagogical practices?. In our work, a descriptive-comparative design was used, with a qualitative approach, in the instruments we applied a survey directed to teachers in training and a rubric directed to their current advisory teachers, in which a triangulation was made in order to compare the results obtained with the theoretical framework previously reflected in the present investigation. During the implementation of these instruments done through the virtual platform "Google Form", the information that was collected allowed us, through a descriptive-comparative design, to clearly know how this articulation process is being carried out in different educational institutions of the Atlántico department., El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el proceso de articulación de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) que llevan a cabo los docentes en formación en sus prácticas pedagógicas del programa de Licenciatura en Matemáticas de la Universidad del Atlántico, dado que estas herramientas tecnológicas brindan una gran cantidad de ventajas en el proceso de aprendizaje. En este trabajo se abordó un diseño descriptivo-comparativo, con un enfoque cualitativo. Como instrumentos se aplicaron encuestas a docentes en formación y a docentes asesores, en las que se hizo una triangulación para comparar los resultados obtenidos con el marco teórico. Estas encuestas se implementaron a través de la plataforma virtual “Formulario de Google”. La información permitió establecer la forma como se está llevando a cabo este proceso de articulación en diversas instituciones educativas del departamento del Atlántico. Infortunadamente, muchos docentes en formación tienen la disposición de articular las TIC en su práctica pedagógica, pero por falta de recursos tecnológicos en las instituciones educativas no les fue posible utilizarlas.

Purpose: The aim was to evaluate the effect of a motor-based, hierarchically structured intervention directed at active nasal fricatives substituting /s/ in young children with normal palatal function. Method: An experimental single-subject design was replicated across three children, aged 4–6 years, with normal palatal function, who substituted oral /s/ with active nasal fricatives. Treatment was performed weekly by a speech-language pathologist and included home training conducted by parents. Audio documented probes were registered regularly and /s/-production evaluated as oral or nasal. Result: All children achieved 98–100% oral production of /s/ in six probed linguistic contexts at treatment end and exhibited good maintenance at follow-up. The four-year-olds showed gradual or inconsistent response and slower progress, the six-year-old direct response and faster progress. Conclusion: The study provides preliminary evidence suggesting positive intervention effects for treating active nasal fricatives in children with normal palatal function. However, possible confounding effects such as maturation or repeated testing could not be ruled out; thus, results need to be replicated with increased experimental control. Nevertheless, the study adds to the currently meagre empirical evidence-base for the population. Individual treatment response and progress patterns were found and data suggests that the intervention may be beneficial from age 4.

It is well reported that articulatory movements comprising prominence units are longer, larger and faster than their non-prominent counterparts. However, it is unclear whether these effects arise at the level of lexical stress or accent or both, reflecting a hierarchy of prominence, i.e., being stronger when induced by accent as opposed to stress. It is also uncertain whether prominence-induced kinematic effects are invariant across positions of stress within the word, types of focus the accent denotes, and positions of words in the phrase. We conduct an electromagnetic articulography (EMA) study to assess the supralaryngeal kinematic correlates of prominence in Greek across three stress positions (antepenultimate, penultimate, ultimate; i.e., all possible stress positions in Greek), two accentual conditions (accented and de-accented) and two phrasal positions (phrase-medial and phrase-final). Focus type is also considered, with the accentual conditions coming from two types of focus (broad and narrow), while the de-accented conditions are by default unfocused. Our results indicate that stressed syllables involve longer, larger and faster gestures than their unstressed counterparts, regardless of the position of stress within the word. Notably, variation in velocity is accounted for by variation in displacement. Presence of accent does not further expand the stressed gestures, although it is related to minimal kinematic changes across the whole word, the exact profile of which depends on stress position. With the exception of final vowel duration, focus type is not systematically encoded in these kinematic effects. Finally, interactions are detected between the kinematic profile of prominence and that of boundaries. Implications of our findings for the hierarchy of prominence and cross-linguistic differences are discussed, and a gestural account of prominence and boundaries is put forward.
