Music therapy is a common approach to reduce stress and anxiety levels. To examine the effect of different types of music on stress levels, forty Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) patients were assigned randomly to one of four groups exposed to a specific kind of music described in this research. The electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded from Cz placement along with skin conductance and temperature recordings for each subject. Also, commonly used clinical questionnaires were used to determine the patients, stress levels. In the classical music group, significant increments in the alpha relative power occurred. Additionaly, in the preferred music group, the relative power of the beta EEG rhythm significantly decreased. These results were compatible with clinical results. Our study showed that music therapy for GAD patients could be used as a powerful method to reduce stress and anxiety. Furthermore, the skin conductance is analyzed and incremental increase in two groups is observed.

Stress is a condition of physical and psychological stress due to the demands of the self and the environment. The many demands of the task and the scientific paper is a stressor that can cause stress for students. One method to overcome the stress that is with music therapy. This study aimed to determine differences in stress levels before and after music therapy at the final stage of a student who made scientific paper at Sapta Bakti Health Academy Bengkulu. The sampling technique in this study was Purposive Sampling with the number of respondents 31 people. This type of study was pre-experiment which belong to the pre-test and post-test one group design. Analysis of statistical data used was the Wilcoxon Match Pairs Test. The data was collected at the time before and after therapy was given to classical music by using the DASS 42 Instrument developed by Lovibond and Lovibond was used as a stress gauge items. Based on this research, there were differences in stress levels of respondents before and after the therapy was given to classical music. From the results of Wilcoxon test for levels of stress before and after therapy to classical music both obtained significance value of 0.000 which was smaller than α = 0.05. The difference could be seen was the decline in the number of respondents prior to the classical music therapy on stress levels of students was 8 people students (26%) experienced severe stress, 8 students (26%) experienced mild stress, and 15 students (48%) experienced stress is. Meanwhile, after the classical music therapy decreased stress levels, as many as 2 students (7%) experienced mild stress, 11 were students (35%) became normal, 8 students (26%) experienced mild stress and 10 students (32% ) are stressed. Based on this research was expected to provide inputs to the nurses and educational institutions, and other research so that it can cope with stress in college students. Keywords: classical music therapy, stress levels, scientific paper

Music plays a vital role in each and every human being’s life. It’s undeniable that music affects human emotions whether it's sadness, happiness, anger, stress, or depression. Ancient Indian classical music originated 2000 years ago. It’s based on seven basic notes that were derived from sounds of birds and animals. The permutations and combinations of these notes create melodious structures with musical motifs called “Raga”. These Ragas create different types of emotions in mind that in turn make positive effects on the body. Different Ragas are sung (vocally) or played (instrumentally) in particular time of the day during the entire 24 hours for its immense positive impact on mind and body. Hence it is used in a form of therapy known as “Music therapy” to be used therapeutically to treat multiple diseases. The types of Ragas, time of different Raga and its effects on the human body therapeutically is shown in tabular form in this paper.

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the use of two different types of music – cat-specific music and classical music – compared with no music, to reduce stress in cats during hospitalization. Methods Thirty-five hospitalized cats were randomly divided into three groups and each group received a different stimulus – cat-specific music, classical music or no music (control) – throughout their hospitalization. Respiratory rate, salivary cortisol and social interaction were documented. A blinded researcher performed the Cat Stress Score (CSS) during the video analysis of recordings at five specific times over 31 h of hospitalization. Results There was no difference in the mean CSS between cats listening to cat-specific music, classical music and control throughout the five evaluations. Cat-specific music had a higher percentage of positive social interactions than the other groups on the first evaluation ( P <0.05). The average respiratory rate was significantly lower in the classical music group vs control on the fourth evaluation ( P <0.05). Although statistically insignificant, the average respiratory rate decreased only in the classical music group during the five evaluations. Cortisol quantification did not seem to follow the CSS results. However, owing to the low and unrepresentative number of samples, it was not possible to perform statistical analysis on these results or a group sample comparison. Conclusions and relevance Both cat-specific music and classical music seem to have some benefit to hospitalized cats. The salivary cortisol analysis was not adequate nor useful to measure stress in hospitalized cats in our study.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Auricular keloids belong to the most perplexing medical conditions, which have significant psychosocial impact on the patient’s body image and quality of life. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> The article is purposed to provide dermatologists and plastic surgeons with the best proven practice using intralesional cryosurgery for the treatment of the different auricular keloid types in order to obtain superior clinical results by minimizing the probability of recurrence. In the past 20 years, the authors have developed novel procedures in order to increase the effectiveness of intralesional cryosurgery on auricular keloids, including hydrodissection, warm gauze technique, and excision of dangling skin. Long-lasting clinical results with a low recurrence rate and a satisfactory aesthetic outcome are achieved with no deformation of the ear framework.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of music on pain, anxiety, comfort, and functional capacity of cancer patients who received care in a palliative care unit. The population of this randomized controlled trial consisted of cancer patients hospitalized in the palliative care service between July 2018 and July 2019. The study included 60 patients (30 interventions/30 controls). The patients in the intervention group were given a total of six music sessions, 10 minutes each with the Turkish classical music in maqams of their choice (Hejaz or Rast accompanied by an expert tambour (drum) player). There was a significant difference between the mean total pain scores, anxiety, comfort, and functional capacity scores of the patients in the intervention and control groups before and after music therapy. Music therapy decreased the level of pain. It is demonstrated that Turkish classical music therapy improved the pain, anxiety, comfort, and functional capacity in the palliative care unit.

Consumer behavior recently underwent three main developments: a shift from material purchases to immaterial experiences, a shift from signaling status and wealth by means of consumer behavior to signaling identity, and increased social visibility due to the growing importance of social media. These trends did arouse a renewed interest in the concept of conspicuous consumption in the area of experiential purchases. Seven different types of experiential purchases are compared as regards the role of conspicuous consumption: the main summer holiday and participation in six different types of cultural events. In the culture study, the same measurement tools were used as in the leisure study. It was found that conspicuous consumption plays a role in these types of purchases. This holds true for status demonstration as well as for identity demonstration. However, there are substantial differences between the different types of cultural events. Conspicuous consumption is important to those who attend festivals, classical music concerts, and pop concerts and is of minor importance as regards going to movies. Based on these findings, we propose a tentative theory about the relationship between conspicuous consumption and type of experiential purchase. Practical implications for marketing are sketched out. In cultural marketing for museums, the performing arts, and cinema, attention should be paid not only to the quality of the event for the self-experience, but also to its status and identity-signaling potential to relevant others.

Preparation of patients mental before to surgery is needed. If patients experience severe anxiety and panic operating plan will be delayed, it will allow a greater risk of infection. From various research show that music has a strong influence on health, especially in calming the mind, reduce physical tension and create a relaxed state, if the patient in a relaxed state is expected to affect physiological responses. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of classical music therapy on physiological responses in patients who underwent orthopedic praoperatif anxiety. The study design is pre-experiment with a sample of 30 people using purposive sampling. Music therapy is given for ± 30 minutes. The analysis used were Paired Sample T Test and Wilcoxon. Obtained mean systolic blood pressure was 120.2 mmHg before therapy, after therapy 119.6 mmHg, p value = 0.227. Mean diastolic blood pressure before treatment was 74.1 mmHg, 73.2 mmHg after therapy is, p value = 0.133. Mean heart rate before treatment was 81.8 x / min, after therapy was 79 x / minute, p value = 0.005. Median respiratory frequency before treatment was 23 x / minute, after the therapy is 21 x / minute, p value = 0.001. This shows the classical music therapy has an influence on heart rate and respiratory frequency in patients who underwent orthopedic praoperatif anxiety. Researchers recommend the use of classical music therapy with a frequency of 2 to 3 times a day before patients undergo surgery in order to obtain an optimal relaxation effects.
