Chapter 4, the first of several chapters devoted to specific alternative strategies for small-handed players, shows how redistributing notes--taking notes with the left hand that are meant to be taken by the right, or the reverse--can mitigate or even eliminate problems caused by small handedness. To redistribute notes, the pianist must mentally reconfigure note distributions printed on the score and translate that information into action. The difficulty of this task may explain why redistribution is underutilized as an adaptive approach. Inventive solutions to common challenges found in a wide range of pedagogical and concert piano literature are presented. Specific areas of focus include: uncrossing parts; eliminating stretches in chords and arpeggios; facilitating leaps or hand shifts; increasing accuracy, power, and control; maintaining more neutral hand and wrist positions; facilitating trills and tremolos; maintaining legato and line; and projecting harmony.

Abstract: Introduction: Hand hygiene is probably the most effective tool of nosocomial infection prevention, however, proper feedback and control is needed to develop the individual hand hygiene practice. Aim: Assessing the efficiency of modern education tools, and digital demonstration and verification equipment during their wide-range deployment. Method: 1269 healthcare workers took part in a training organized by our team. The training included the assessment of the participants’ hand hygiene technique to identify the most often missed areas. The hand hygiene technique was examined by a digital device. Results: 33% of the participants disinfected their hands incorrectly. The most often missed sites are the fingertips (33% on the left hand, 37% on the right hand) and the thumbs (42% on the left hand, 32% on the right hand). Conclusion: The feedback has a fundamental role in the development of the hand hygiene technique. With the usage of electronic devices feedback can be provided efficiently and simply.

1. Subjects without any previous experience in a tactile psychophysics task participated in a study of tactile letter recognition employing active and passive touch. In the active task, subjects reached through a curtain and examined embossed letters with horizontal, unidirectional finger strokes. In the passive task, subjects sat with their arms and hands immobilized while a rotating drum stimulator pressed the embossed letters onto the right index finger. The stimulus conditions in the passive task were identical to those used in neurophysiological experiments with monkeys. 2. A survey of 40 naive subjects who were not screened in any way showed a wide range of performance levels. There was no difference between the subjects in the active and passive tasks, either in overall mean percent correct scores, which were 49.0 and 50.7%, respectively or in the percent correct scores for individual letters whose product-moment correlation coefficient was 0.94. The active and passive groups, which contained 25 and 15 members, respectively, had no members in common. 3. Videotapes of the finger movements of eight subjects in the active task showed a characteristic V-shaped velocity profile (velocity vs. lateral position) starting at approximately 100 mm/s at the left-hand edge of the plate containing the embossed letter, decelerating to a minimum when the center of the finger was directly over the letter, and then accelerating away from the letter. The average minimum scanning velocity was 17 mm/s. 4. Scanning velocity had no significant effect on performance in the passive task between 20 and 40 mm/s. An increase to 80 mm/s produced a 16% decline in percent correct identifications. 5. Learning effects were evident across sessions even though subjects were given no feedback or training. The increase in mean percent correct judgments averaged 4% per session, which lasted for approximately 1 h. 6. Data from 64 subjects were pooled for detailed comparison of identification patterns in active and passive touch. The results were analyzed and found to be consistent with the hypothesis that the identification and confusion probabilities are identical in the two modes. We conclude that there is no difference between active and passive touch in form recognition when the stimulus pattern is smaller than a finger pad. 7. Data from all experiments were pooled to produce a single confusion matrix with 324 presentations per letter. The majority of erroneous responses are grouped in a small number of confusion pairs and the majority of those confusion pairs are strongly asymmetric. The probable neural mechanisms of some confusion patterns are discussed.

Dominant Side

This is a survey of a subject for which there are few positive conclusions on the reasons for existing controls and control practices. The position of the operator of a vehicle or craft, the preferred side for the control or conning position and the ‘rules-of-the-road’ for land and water transport and also air transport seemed to have evolved through innate and conditioned human preferences such as ‘handedness’, through customs and traditions and, possibly to a lesser extent, by arbitrary rule making. In general, man is outwardly laterally symmetrical but has a dominant side and a preferred-hand. Within the majority of ethnic groups right-hand preferring people make up 90 per cent of a population. However, despite innate preferences about which there is inconclusive evidence and the influences of a ‘right-handed’ world imposed upon the maturing child, man can acquire through learning and training a sufficient degree of ambidexterity to operate effectively the controls of complex man/machine interfaces. As long as tools, vehicles and all other artifacts remained essentially simple to use or operate they could be controlled, governed or steered by either hand or by one hand—usually the preferred—or by both hands. However, the preferred hand with any of these combinations would ‘lead’ and would provide precision or ‘fine’ control. The introduction of writing and similar tasks requiring coordination of mind, hand and eye has always reinforced the ‘right-handed’ world. For convenience this survey is divided into three major evolutionary paths: sword, steering oar and left-hand circuit.

A model for the dense part of electrical double layer is proposed using the concept that conduction electrons penetrate into a solution to form an electronic capacitor on the metal surface. The potential drop between the metal and solution, the charge of the metal, its surface tension, and the electron work function for a metal–solution interface are calculated within the framework of the model, and the formulae derived are compared with experiment. It is shown that for a metal–vacuum interface of 38 metals in the left-hand subgroups of the Mendeleev table the discrepancy between the theoretical and experimental values of surface tension and work function does not exceed the experimental error (i.e. it is less than 10%); for six metals in the right-hand subgroups and especially for semimetals the theoretical error is two to three times higher. The density of free electrons in a metal determined in terms of the concepts of the model is shown to vary monotonously with the element number for all 54 metals with available experimental data.A relationship, previously unknown, between surface tension and zero-charge potential is established, which enabled one to calculate the electronic capacitor charge for mercury (the theoretical value is 33 C/cm2, and the experimental value is 36–38 C/cm2). This paper also reports the calculated values of the integral capacity of a mercury electrode in water: the experimental value is 29 F/cm2 (at the zero-charge point), and the theoretical value is 28 F/cm2. The model predicts an increase of the capacity in the anodic region and a decrease in the cathodic region, in a good agreement with experiment. It should be stressed that although the theory includes only one fitting parameter, the density of free electrons in the metal, it correctly explains a wide range of phenomena.

The phenomenon of motherhood is a challenging focus for research in the feminist literary theory/critique. The motherhood continent as a controversial point of contention in the society has become (or remains) a polemicized field between the traditionalism, critical, essentialist feminism and epistemology. Advocating for the deconstruction of social postulates of patriarchy starts with a revision of the positive connotations of motherhood, demonization of abortion/birth control, and the right to birth self-determination. In the struggle for power and control at the waning of matriarchy, the androcentric order established the purpose, model and objectives of motherhood. The examination in this work destabilizes elements of motherhood in A Women's Book, The Mermaids, Matrimonium, and Nefertiti Was Here. The objective of this work is to deconstruct the concept of motherhood that is present in our paternal/patriarchal traditions by denouncing the harmful and deeply rooted stereotypes. Simultaneously the work exposes and highlights the need for affirmation of authentic feminine legacy, elucidates aspects of the mother daughter relationship, and promotes the accomplishments of regional literature. In this scientific approach to the phenomenon of motherhood, the work makes use of such theoretical concepts as: ideology of intensive motherhood, creation of body language and women's writing, motherly instinct, maternal ideology, matriarchy and mythology, the black continent, identification with the mother, as well as the mother-daughter relationship, the child's belonging, motherhood and non-motherhood and abortion-birth sterility. The inclusion of these themes in the narratives is an indicative question of the subjective affirmative experience of motherhood, where we find transcendental impulses for generating women's language and creation, which juxtapose ideological norms, intensity of motherhood and achieve autonomy in literary creation.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) guidance, Engineering Technical Letter 1110-2-563, was developed for the design of navigation structures subject to barge impact loading. The new guidance was developed with the use of the results from full-scale experiments conducted under the Innovations for Navigation Projects Research and Development Program. An empirical impact force model was derived from the experimental data, and probabilistic procedures were developed to assist with the design and analysis of navigation structures for impact loads from transiting vessels. Uncertainties in loadings due to a wide range of events from both natural and human sources are crucial in the design of these critical structures. These uncertainties are defined in terms of the distributions for impact angles, velocities, and tow masses, as well as the need to account for loss of power and control events. The methods developed in the guidance for the design and analysis of these structures are focused on defining the return periods for the usual, unusual, and extreme loads for the navigation structures. An example of the probabilistic procedures developed in the guidance is highlighted for the design of an upper guide wall at a navigation project.

ABSTRACTIn order to examine relations between political authorities and the health system we need a historical view that allows us to understand the drift of the ever expanding health system under liberal systems and the introduction of new concepts such as the right to health under so-called Welfare States. State appropriation of citizens’ health, through health systems, changes the paradigm of the doctor-patient relationship as understood traditionally and historically, and makes us cautious about what may be a threat to our individual liberties, with a disproportionate health service and states that intervene directly in the lives of their citizens not only as regards the law but also their health and bodies. This all needs to be analyzed unreservedly and we must be careful that the right to health does not become an instrument of power and control by states over citizens, thus diminishing our liberties.RESUMENLa necesidad de examinar las relaciones entre poder político y sistema sanitario requiere de una mirada histórica que nos permita comprender la deriva que al amparo de los sistemas liberales ha ido teniendo el cada vez más expansivo sistema sanitario y la introducción de nuevos conceptos como el derecho a la salud propio de los llamados Estados del Bienestar. La apropiación por parte de los Estados, a través de los sistemas sanitarios, de la salud de los ciudadanos cambia el paradigma de relación medico / paciente que había sido tradicional a lo largo de la historia y nos hace ser precavidos sobre lo que puede resultar una amenaza a nuestras propias libertades individuales con una sanidad seguramente desmedida y unos Estados que intervienen directamente en la vida  de sus ciudadanos no solo jurídicamente, sino sanitariamente, corporalmente. Todo ello requiere ser analizado sin reservas de ningún tipo y estar atentos no vaya a ser que el derecho a la salud acabe siendo un instrumento de poder y control por parte de los Estados sobre los ciudadanos que permita una disminución de nuestras libertades.

It is a widely held opinion among musicians that extreme joint positions increase the flexibility in the corresponding joints. There are also occasional views that extensive use of the fingers starting in childhood may lead to increased finger length. These opinions have implications for teaching methods; however, in spite of extensive examinations of the shapes of musicians’ hands, to date there have been almost no objective findings. There have been large-scale examinations of the angle of supination of the left elbow of violinists, with the finding that primarily genetic factors are responsible. In order to answer the question whether external factors can influence joint configurations of the hand as well as finger length, the active finger spreads and finger lengths of 210 subjects (cellists, guitarists, and control subjects) were measured. The working hypothesis was that there would be an increase in finger spread in the left hand fingers compared with the right if the frequent extreme positions taken on the fingerboard did in fact influence finger spread. The nonmusician control group, however, would not be expected to show this difference, or at least not to the same extent as in the musicians. Similar differences should apply to finger length, if this is influenced by long-term practicing on these instruments. A majority of the measurements of all three groups demonstrated a greater spreadability of the fingers of the left hand than of the right. In contrast to the comparison groups, there was a significantly greater span between the left hand index and small fingers of cellists. This span was not measured in the guitarists because it does not apply in their playing as it does for cellists. In addition, the measurements of the right-left differences in the finger lengths of the cellists when compared with the nonmusician group showed significantly longer fingers on the left than the right. This difference is probably caused by better-developed fingertips of the cellists. Further research is needed to discern whether the spreadability could be improved through specific training programs.

The purpose of this paper is to help managers with a wealth of understanding so that they value the available information and then make a good decision-making solution in the venture they will run or hire in the business world, most individuals have successfully developed their entrepreneurial talent and have been able to use it to realize their investment and career goals.In the business world as well as in many other areas of the economy decision-making and control is used to elucidate valuable information on economic activity.The business hospitality business has always attached importance to making decisions and at all times doing constant job verifications if they are doing the right thing.The owners of a bussines are interested in monitoring the business status but also take care of many other things, especially for investment, because an investor wants to invest their business money that will return or increase their wealth so here we are faced with making decisions.To monitor whether their investments are good they will always look for and rely on accurate information to do so effectively as it is the control that helps us monitor and provide information.It is known that today there are many companies operating in our country and most of them enjoy a very high success, but besides, there are those who do not even have a year of operation in our market. Many times come the questions that we put to ourselves from all this failure, and we will find the answer precisely in this paper by defining in detail the terms: control and planning by comparing them with competition.The primary task of managers in the modern business world is to accept the risk and make decisions in very dynamic environments combining a wide range of economic, social, technical factors that serve as innovations for new modern businesses.Control is a key element in the business development cycle in all sectors, for better planning and for successful future, since with the help of control it is also possible to make a secure decision based on the results previously undertaken and all businesses directly or indirectly face the competition by creating them an instability in business life.Control is a process that generates information about the truthfulness of what we want to research about organizations.

Functional MRI studies report insular activations across a wide range of tasks involving affective, sensory, and motor processing, but also during tasks of high-level perception, attention, and control. Although insular cortical activations are often reported in the literature, the diverse functional roles of this region are still not well understood. We used a meta-analytic approach to analyze the coactivation profiles of insular subdivisions—dorsal anterior, ventral anterior, and posterior insula—across fMRI studies in terms of multiple task domains including emotion, memory, attention, and reasoning. We found extensive coactivation of each insular subdivision, with substantial overlap between coactivation partners for each subdivision. Functional fingerprint analyses revealed that all subdivisions cooperated with a functionally diverse set of regions. Graph-theoretical analyses revealed that the dorsal anterior insula was a highly “central” structure in the coactivation network. Furthermore, analysis of the studies that activate the insular cortex itself showed that the right dorsal anterior insula was a particularly “diverse” structure in that it was likely to be active across multiple task domains. These results highlight the nuanced functional profiles of insular subdivisions and are consistent with recent work suggesting that the dorsal anterior insula can be considered a critical functional hub in the human brain.
