Most studies of music and sports relate to the ergogenic effect of synchronization between music and movement in repetitive sports activities. As in dance, music is clearly important for sports routines that involve choreography. This study performs an experiment involving a rhythmic gymnastics routine to investigate whether increasing the congruence between music and movement enhances the quality of sports routines from a musical perspective. In preparing the video stimulus, the original music accompaniment was replaced with a new composition to increase the congruence between music and movement using six musical parameters that parallel dance, including tempo, rhythm, phrasing, accent, direction and dynamic. Fifty-two undergraduate music majors participated in the study and evaluated two videos of the same routine, one with the original music and the other with the new music. The participants completed a three-part questionnaire: the first part evaluates the perceived congruence between music and movement in terms of the six parameters, the second part evaluates acrobatic qualities, and the third part evaluates athletic qualities. The results show that the intended congruence was perceived as significantly improved in the routine with the new accompaniment, and both the acrobatic and sports qualities were also perceived as significantly improved.   Keywords: perceived congruence, sports routine, music and movement, choreomusical, music and sports

Smoking and alcohol consumption is a growing trend among young people worldwide. The purpose of this study was to provide students with a comparative analysis of adherence to harmful habits (smoking and alcohol) on the one hand and the frequency of sports and academic performance on the other, taking into account gender differences. The research was conducted in 2019-2020 in 5 cities of Russia; the sample included 1500 people aged 18.4 ± 1.1 years, divided into three equal groups. The control (first) group had students who are not engaged in sports, and the second group comprised students practicing sports but not professionally. The third group was made up of student-athletes. All participants were surveyed to determine the frequency of adherence to harmful habits. In the control group, boys smoked 50% more often than girls (p ≤ 0.05), while in the third group, smoking among boys was registered 70 times less often (p ≤ 0.001). Alcohol consumption in controls was 0.5 times more likely among boys (p ≤ 0.05). Harmful habits affect young people's free time and reduce their academic performance and ability to practice sports.

Structural Manipulation

This chapter explores aspects of Bishop’s poetics through the lens of the number three, contributing to the debate about Bishop’s place as a ‘lyric’ poet. It does this by charting the myriad ways Bishop used the number three and all its connotations in her poetry. These range from her use of the tercet form to a structural manipulation of time and perspective. Threes are everywhere in Bishop, ranging from the influence of Gerard Manley Hopkins, the Holy Trinity and Dante to ekphrastic notions of shadow boxes in ‘Objects & Apparitions’. That three underpins Bishop’s aphoristic ear is most clearly heard in her prose and letters, for example in her famous statement that ‘The three qualities I admire in the poetry I like best are: Accuracy, Spontaneity, Mystery’ (in ‘Writing Poetry is an Unnatural Act’). Bishop scholars and readers often identify with the quality of reticence in her poetry, often referred to as ‘the other’ or the ‘third space’ where the reader can find or suggest meaning between the hidden and the said. What is less commonly acknowledged is that the threes can also be constructed to create a safe place in which to allow dangerous emotions or thoughts to be expressed.

Quantitative Changes

Previous research suggests that elderly people utilize fewer coping strategies than younger people. Some researchers suggest that these quantitative changes reflect decreases in the use of maladaptive strategies; others contend that they reflect decreases in the use of adaptive strategies by older adults. The present article reports the findings of three studies of coping in older people, two addressing coping with health problems, and the other addressing coping with moving. In all three studies, the number of self-reported coping strategies decreases with age. Results do not support the idea that decreases in the number of strategies imply decrements in the quality of coping, however: in two studies, age was unrelated to the effectiveness of strategies, in the third, effectiveness ratings were higher for older subjects. The need for evaluation of specific outcomes of coping strategies is discussed, along with the need for task-specific measurement of coping. It is proposed that decreases in the number of coping strategies reflect improved coping efficiency, rather than a deterioration of adaptational skills.

Adequate Food

Spruce budworm larvae feeding on black spruce had a lower rate of development and a higher rate of mortality than those feeding on white spruce or balsam fir. This was attributable to the lateness in opening of the black spruce buds rather than to the inferior nutritional quality of the foliage. When staminate flowers were present in abundance on black spruce trees, development and survival of the insect was fairly similar to that on the other two species of trees; the flowers provided adequate food at the time of the third and fourth instars thus permitting the larvae to survive until the opening of the shoot buds. The late opening of the black spruce buds explains the relative immunity of this species to severe spruce budworm damage.

SUMMARYYields of maize were increased when they followed successfully established pasture legumes in two rotation experiments. The largest increases were obtained after silverleaf and were equivalent in one experiment to the effects of about 30 kg N ha−1a−1over four years and in the other experiment to those of 40 kg N ha−1a−1over three years. The largest beneficial effect of some of the legumes was on the first crop of maize but in others did not occur until the third or fourth crop. The possible reasons for the different patterns of residual effect are discussed in relation to the nature of the legume residues, the quality of the seedbed following the legumes, and rainfall

Aim. The paper aims to justify the need to take into account the tempo and rhythmic abilities of female gymnasts as one of the factors of motor synchronicity in group gymnastic routines. Materials and methods. The study involved 12 highly skilled gymnasts aged from 18 to 19 years (Masters of Sport in rhythmic gymnastics). Two groups were formed based on gymnastic routines. Tempo and rhythmic abilities were assessed, and an expert evaluation of mistakes in motor synchronicity was carried out. Results. During the expert evaluation, the athletes made errors in the following components: unintended movements in start and final positions, lack of accuracy in positions and transitions, unity of routines and composition, where one follows from the other but is evaluated by different judges. It was also determined that the rhythmic pattern with the faster tempo was done more accurately than those with the slower tempo if it was simple. The rhythmic pattern such as eighth two sixteenth and three-beat dotted causes more difficulties when performed with inner counting (p ˂ 0.05). The strongest correlations between an expert evaluation of motor synchronicity and tempo and rhythmic abilities were found for the following rhythmic patterns: two-beat dotted, three-beat dotted, syncope (r = –0.524; r = –0.485; r = –0.545). Conclusion. The tempo and rhythmic abilities of gymnasts characterize the quality of motor synchronicity in group gymnastic routines, namely, the ability of gymnasts to implement the tempo and rhythmic structure of motor actions to music.

<p><strong>Colour alternation and et/tylene changes during ripening tobacco leaves cultivar Madura and its effect to the quality of slice Madura tobacco</strong></p><p>The colour change and elhylene production in the leaves of Madura tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) during ripening was studied at "Labora¬ torium Biokimia Pusat Antar Universitas Pangan dan Gizi Universitas Gadjahmada Yogyakata" and "Laboratorium Inti dan Atom Jurusan I'isika, FMIPA Universitas Gadjahmada Yogyakata". The change of colour was measured with Chrommameter CR-200. while the production of ethylcne, ACC (1-aminocyclopropanc-l-carboxylic acid) and MACC (malonyl-ACC) were measured with Photoaccuslic Spectroscopy, from the sample of 100 kg tobacco leaves cv. Jepon grown from April to September 1995 in Plakpak, Pcgantenan, Pamekasan, East Java. The experiment was designed as a completely randomized design in three replicates. The leaves samples were taken randomly from the mature middle leaves Results showed that endogenous ethylcne production al the irst day al a level of 169 ppb. was able to initiate ripening. Conversion percentage of ACC to ethylcne for 8 days ripening increased from 7.7 up lo 61.4 %. F tests least signiicantly different (1%). showed that yellow intensity signiicantly increased on the second day. This indicated thai ripening process was stated on the second day. On the other hand green intensity significantly decreased at the ifth day, thus no chlorophyl degradation. Brightness was signiicantly observed on Ihe third day of ripening, meaning that ripening stated on the third day. Based on the three criteria, the best ripening period was from the third lo the ilth day. This implies that the farmers will have three day periods of ripening which can be arranged to overcome the shotage of man power for slicing the leaves.</p>

The article traces the history of the ensemble “Theater of New Music” from 2010 and 2019 and defi nes the main stages of the ensemble’s development: the fi rst stage is the period of the ensemble’s formation (2010–2012), the second stage is the period of concerts in the form of theatrical performances and the quest for new forms of presentation of academic music (2012–2015), the third is the search for new forms of interaction between music and the other arts (2015–2018), and the fourth is the period of multimedia projects (since 2018). The main forms of presentation of academic music which were developed during the development of the “Theater of New Music” are highlighted. They include concerts merged with theatrical performances, as well as multimedia projects. The ensemble’s most signifi cant projects during the period between 2010 and 2019 are defi ned and described in detail: the series of concerts in the form of theatrical performances featuring protagonists of the “Travel through Time” arguing about music of various epochs, styles and directions; the cycle of two concerts in the form of theatrical performances “They Met. A wave and a stone, poetry and prose, ice and fi re,” where the protagonists dispute about what is the primary element in music – intellect or emotion”; the musical performance “Early Musical Saratov” comprised of works by 19th and 20th century Saratov-based composers; the international composers’ competition “Call for Scores – 2016”, the multimedia project “A Person with Earphones.” The ensemble “Theater of New Music is the only ensemble in Saratov which specializes in performance of 20th and early 21st century music.

Definition Of

During the past investigations of immunoferritin localization of intracellular antigens in ultrathin frozen sections, we found that the degree of negative staining required to delineate u1trastructural details was often too dense for the recognition of ferritin particles. The quality of positive staining of ultrathin frozen sections, on the other hand, has generally been far inferior to that attainable in conventional plastic embedded sections, particularly in the definition of membranes. As we discussed before, a main cause of this difficulty seemed to be the vulnerability of frozen sections to the damaging effects of air-water surface tension at the time of drying of the sections.Indeed, we found that the quality of positive staining is greatly improved when positively stained frozen sections are protected against the effects of surface tension by embedding them in thin layers of mechanically stable materials at the time of drying (unpublished).
