The project grew out of a need to improve my ability to tackle challenges I had faced playing contemporary piano concerti. The embodying of new aesthetics is a great challenge in premieres of new works. While the soloist has great potential for expressing personal artistic ideas within a large-scale concert-hall environment, the classical pianist education just does not cover all challenges of performing brand new concerti. The new music suffers. The general lack of contemporary music in educational repertoires has consequences for how the field of classical music develops, what kind of music we value, how we work and what kind of music we play and listen to in a musical society. I wanted to explore the potential of my role and investigate how I could behave and play to help to improve the sounding result of new piano concerti. I created this project with the overarching research question: Which abilities do I need to develop further, and to enable a progressive soloist role when faced with challenges in entirely new music, and what are the extended effects of such an expanded role awareness? As the project moved forward, this progressive role awareness, I discovered, was useful to me by giving me greater flexibility and confidence about the massive collective apparatus surrounding the new piano concerti. The project is based around five new piano concerti I have premiered at national and international venues: Diamond Dust by D. Fujikura, Konsertstykke i tre deler by M. Hegdal, at the tips of my fingers / on the tip of my tongue by B.L. Thorsen, Wowen Fingerprints by T.B. Ulvo and Theory of the Subject by T. Reinholdtsen. Through the evolution of these works, I examine the role of the soloist in all the processes of musical creation, from initialization to realisation in performance. The research material provides insights into how new music is dealt with in the standard classical music world. I provide rare awareness of the role of the soloist and suggest several improvements of how we lay the foundations for premiering new music. A central outcome of my project is a ‘toolbox’ of proposed techniques and approaches for pianists encountering new works. The toolbox, I argue, is also valuable when applied to older music and to how we approach any musical situation on a general level.

Background: Menstruation and menstrual practices are still clouded by taboos and socio-cultural restrictions resulting in adolescent girls remaining ignorant of the scientific facts and hygienic health practices, which sometimes result into adverse health outcomes. The reaction to menstruation depends upon awareness and knowledge about the subject. The manner in which a girl learns about menstruation and its associated changes may have an impact on her response to the event of menarche. Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Bhopal, India had always been keen to make aware of these facts and preventive measures to adolescent girls and to acknowledge the facts this study has been conducted.Methods: About 350 school girls between 10-18years of age with attainment of menarche were selected from two schools of Bhopal and interviewed during study period using predesigned questionnaire after obtaining informed consent from school in-charge and parents.Results: This study shows that majority of the girls preferred cloth pieces rather than sanitary pads as menstrual absorbent. Apparently, poverty, high cost of disposable sanitary pads and to some extent ignorance dissuaded the study population from using the menstrual absorbents available in the market. Universalized use of sanitary pads can be advocated to every girl only by making it available at affordable prices (social marketing). Thus, the above findings reinforce the need to encourage safe and hygienic practices among the adolescent girls and bring them out of traditional beliefs, misconceptions and restrictions regarding menstruation.Conclusions: This study highlighted the need of adolescent girls to have accurate and adequate information about menstruation and its appropriate management and healthy menstrual practices.

As escovas dentais são contaminadas diariamente por bactérias presentes na cavidade oral ou no meio externo, por isso são consideradas depósitos de microorganismos, capazes de causar e transmitir doenças. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o conhecimento e práticas quanto à higienização e armazenamento das escovas dentais, a fim de comparar ações executadas por grupos diferentes, e identificar falta de informações adequadas frente ao assunto. Os dados foram coletados através de questionários, em que foram avaliados três grupos experimentais: 1- Pacientes (n=50) atendidos no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), 2- Acadêmicos de Odontologia (n=50) do Centro Universitário Doutor Leāo Sampaio e 3- Cirurgiões-dentistas (n=50) de Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará. Foi realizada análise descritiva de distribuição de frequência, Anova 1 critério e teste post hoc de Bonferroni foram os testes utilizados, adotando-se um nível de significância de 5%. Na presente pesquisa, constatou-se que o grupo dos Cirurgiões-dentistas tem maior conhecimento e praticam melhores ações quanto às práticas de higienização das escovas dentais, superior ao grupo dos Acadêmicos e esses dos Pacientes. Porém, em relação ao armazenamento, os grupos demostraram não ter conhecimento acerca do local mais adequado e da maneira ideal para armazenar suas escovas. Conclui-se que, o grupo dos Cirurgiões-dentistas realiza a maior parte das manobras aconselháveis sobre os cuidados frente a higienização das escovas dentais relacionado aos outros grupos em questão, apesar de não ter conhecimento acerca de novas tecnologias para desinfecção das escovas.Palavras-chave: Contaminação. Escovação Dentária. Saúde Bucal.Abstract Toothbrushes are daily contaminated by bacteria in the oral cavity or outside, therefore they are considered containers for microorganisms, capable of causing and transmitting diseases. The current work aimed to evaluate the knowledge and practices regarding hygiene and storage of toothbrushes, in order to compare actions executed by different groups, and identify the lack of adequate information when facing the subject. Data were collected through a questionnaire, in which three experimental groups were evaluated: 1- patients (n=50) treated at Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), 2- Dental students (n=50) from Centro Universitário Doutor Leão Sampaio and 3- Dental clinicians (n=50) from Juazeiro do Norte. A descriptive analysis of frequency distribution was performed, and One Way Anova and Bonfrerroni Post Hoc tests were performed, at a significance level of 5%. In the current research, it was found that the group of Dentists has a greater knowledge and practice better actions regarding the toothbrushes sanitation , higher than that of the group of Students, which was better that that of the group of Patients. However, regarding storage, the groups demonstrated to have not enough information regarding the adequate place and the ideal manner of storing their toothbrushes. It was concluded that, the group of Dentists performs the most part of recommended maneuvers regarding the care for toothbrushes hygiene compared to the other evaluated groups.Keywords: Contamination.

AbstractThis paper seeks to determine the intuitive meaning of the concept of information by indicating its essential (definitional) features and relations with other concepts, such as that of knowledge. The term “information” – as with many other concepts, such as “process”, “force”, “energy” and “matter” – has a certain established meaning in natural languages, which allows it to be used, in science as well as in everyday life, without our possessing any somewhat stricter definition of it. The basic aim here is thus to explicate what it amounts to in the context of its intuitive meaning as encountered in natural languages, what the subject of cognition implicitly presumes when using the term, and to which ontological situations it can be applied. I demonstrate that the essential features of the notion of information include the presence of a material medium, its transformation, the recording and reading of information encoded in the medium, and the grasp of what is recorded, coded and transmitted as an intentional object, where the latter is construed in terms broadly in line with the ontologies of Husserl and Ingarden. Along the way, a number of issues relating to the notion of information are also pointed out: the problem of informational identity, of the existence of virtual objects, and of the choice of an adequate information carrier, as well as formal-ontological problems, including those which concern relations between information carriers and intentional objects.

This chapter discusses the design of a technique for measuring the flexibility of business information systems. It argues that a technique for measuring software flexibility can be designed from existing principles using a qualitative approach. It then describes the design process undertaken to develop a software flexibility assessment technique that could be used to assess the adaptive capacity of business software applications. First, the author introduces the background to the subject and gives the justification for developing a suitable business-oriented measure of software flexibility. He then tackles the design issues and problems that arise when confronted with the complexities of qualitative measurement, before describing the steps of the design process. Afterwards, the stages in the application of the technique are described, with a worked example. Finally the benefits and weaknesses of the technique are discussed, and an opinion expressed as to the usefulness and applicability of the proposed technique.

Economic competition compels many firms to operate processes which emit gases carrying a dust burden many thousand times that of atmospheric air. Even after treatment in the most expensive deduster this effluent will still hold some 5 per cent of its original dust, so that it must be discharged up a tall chimney. Wind eddies then dilute the chimney gases until they can be tolerated at ground level; however, during dilution the coarser dust is liable to settle and cause objectional deposits in the vicinity. The problem of designing an installation to avoid nuisance is therefore to remove the coarser grits in a deduster and to arrange the stack to dilute the finer residue so that deposits will not be noticed. The authors have developed a set of reasonably simple formulae and charts for predicting the path of particles emitted from a stack and spread by the wind. Experimental checks have been applied to the predictions, but the subject is complex, and at this stage it is unlikely that it will be possible to predict the rate of deposit within a factor of 2. In order to illustrate the implications of the paper a worked example is given on a powdered-coal boiler installation. This shows that with properly designed cyclones and a moderately high stack there will be no noticeable deposits. The implication is that it should be possible in time to extend the treatment given in the paper to specify a deduster exit which will avoid nuisance with fair certainty and at a relatively moderate cost.

Aegeanists rather than Egyptologists have investigated Bronze Age Egypto-Aegean relations. Although a few Egyptologists consider these issues in considerable depth, a general lack of communication still exists between the disciplines. Two issues dominate research and debate: cross-cultural chronology and dating, and consideration of the imported goods and tangible/intangible influence of one civilization upon the other. Less controversial is the issue of contact routes and means, with visible remains and intangible cultural norms. This chapter concerns only Egypt and the Aegean, but they cannot be isolated from developments throughout the East Mediterranean world. All median cultures (and others interacting with them) must also be considered in any discussion. This chapter concentrates mostly on developments since 1990, when Bernal’s Black Athena volumes and the ensuing reaction undoubtedly re-stimulated interest in the subject.

Medical information given to patients, notably to psychiatric patients, is guided by laws. Before starting any treatment the patient's informed consent is needed. One of the criteria of validity for such a consent is adequate information of the subject. This study shows that certain factors interfere with the institutionalized patient's initial knowledge about medication, hospitalization and illness. It points out that learning is diminished by two factors: the diagnostic of schizophrenia and the length of stay in the hospital. However learning is not changed by severity of symptoms. On the other hand the initial knowledge level is diagnosis independent but altered in case of intense psychiatric symptomatology. Possible explanations of these data are discussed. In conclusion, the importance of the variable of learning capacity is shown in the practice of the informed consent for psychiatric patients. The learning capacity must be taken into account when the patient is informed. Finally, additional research on that subject is indicated particularly concerning the persons disabled by schizophrenia.
