On Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) as Both Part of Music Therapy and as Separate From it
No full textGuided Imagery and Music (GIM) kann als Spezialgebiet betrachtet werden, in dem sich qualifizierte Musiktherapeut*innen ausbilden lassen können, ebenso wie andere Angehörige der Gesundheitsberufe wie Psychotherapeut*innen, Psycholog*innen oder Psychiater*innen. Für die letztgenannte Gruppe von Gesundheitspersonal ist es eine kontroverse Angelegenheit, sich als Musiktherapeut*innen zu bezeichnen oder dies zu implizieren, wenn für GIM als Behandlungsmethoden geworben wird. In Ländern, in denen die musiktherapeutische Ausbildung und Praxis staatlich geregelt sind, kann dies sogar rechtswidrig sein.
Die Situation ist komplex und von Natur aus verwirrend. Einerseits ist die GIM ein international anerkanntes Modell der Musiktherapie. Andererseits unterscheidet sich die GIM als Fachgebiet sowohl in der Ausbildung als auch in der Praxis von der Musiktherapie, wobei die GIM-Praktizierenden unterschiedliche berufliche Hintergründe haben.
Es wird angeregt, dass eine internationale Zusammenarbeit und Diskussion erforderlich ist und Empfehlungen ausgesprochen werden sollten, um das Vertrauen der Öffentlichkeit auf der Grundlage eines klaren Verständnisses darüber zu fördern, wer ein*e qualifizierte*r Musiktherapeut*in und Mitglied des Berufsstandes der Musiktherapeut*innen ist und wer nicht, und wer, wozu fachlich qualifiziert ist. Der Artikel soll jene Fragen beleuchten, die bei der Entwicklung einer Konsensposition berücksichtigt werden müssen.Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) can be considered a specialism in which qualified music therapists may train, along with mental health practitioners from other professional backgrounds including psychotherapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. For this latter group of practitioners, identifying themselves as music therapists, or implying this when describing GIM as a music therapy method in advertising their services, is controversial. It may indeed even be unlawful in countries where music therapy training and practice are regulated by the state.
The situation is a complex and inherently confusing one. This is because on the one hand GIM is an acknowledged international model of music therapy. On the other hand, as a specialism, GIM is distinct from music therapy in both training and practice, with GIM practitioners having various professional backgrounds.
It is proposed that international collaboration and discussion are needed, with recommendations made to foster public confidence based on a clear understanding of who is and is not a qualified music therapist and member of the music therapy profession, and who is qualified to practice what safely and effectively. The article aims to illuminate the issues that may need to be taken into consideration in developing a consensus position
Library-faculty collaboration in the light of a business administration bachelor’s program: ‘The Scientific Wave’
No full textIn contemporary digital society, information literacy is increasingly important and viewed as a necessary life skill for all ages, social groups, and professional sectors, hence also affecting higher education. Universities need to develop strategies and approaches to integrate these skills into course syllabi, assignments and assessments based on close library-faculty collaboration. However, librarians and faculty members in higher education traditionally often have separate agendas and limited collaboration. This paper illustrates the background and process of constructing a successful librarian-faculty partnership, as a shared framework entitled the ‘Scientific Wave’ throughout a bachelor’s program in business administration to enhance students’ critical thinking, research skills and information literacy in particular. A case study approach was applied, and data collection was conducted during 2014–2019. The outcomes of a shared framework and library-faculty collaboration are discussed from the perspectives of students, library, and faculty. Findings show that a shared framework based on close collaboration between librarians and faculty, strategic anchoring and visualization in curricula, syllabi, course objectives and assessments developed in line with the mission of the university have an impact on students’ information literacy skills during their education and after graduation. The Scientific Wave is a co-designed continuous framework based on the separate but complementary skills of librarians and faculty to provide students with tools for critical and creative thinking, research skills and lifelong learning in today’s digital society
Teaching information literacy in the humanities: Engaging students with primary sources and cultural heritage material
No full textMany university libraries hold large cultural heritage collections that are unknown to most students. The digitisation of these collections offers new ways of working with primary sources, and with it, an increased interest in archives and older collections, both in digital and physical form. This article discusses how archival material and other primary sources can be used in our information literacy classes, thus broadening the understanding of information literacy to include primary source literacy. I share two examples of how my colleagues and I have engaged students with primary sources and discuss the pedagogical challenges and opportunities. The article also addresses the disciplinary aspect of information literacy and what a humanities approach to teaching information literacy could incorporate. Drawing on own experiences and previous research, the article concludes that using primary sources in information literacy classes can enrich learning, engage students, and develop our teaching practices
Reforming the rape offence in Norwegian criminal law
Get PDFThis article addresses the content, context and development of the Norwegian rape offence to frame and explain current reform discussions. The authors describe how the offence has gradually expanded over time by partial reforms, the last in 2000, leading up to the contemporary stand of law. The article shows that the role and priorities of the feminist movement has had consequences for how the rape offence has developed. There are currently debates on whether to further revise the rape offence. While debaters share the view that rape is a serious offence and that more should be done to combat it, they are divided in how they see the potential and role of law; some debaters emphasise law as a practical instrument, others instead focus more on its symbolic functions. The authors argue that both perspectives are legitimate and needed, and see this acknowledgment as key for moving debates forward
Vår tidsoppfatning påvirkes av sanseinntrykk
Get PDFUlikheten mellom hvordan den objektive tiden går og hvordan mennesket opplever den har engasjert forskere innen psykologi i mer enn 150 år. Flere nye studier viser at tidsoppfatningen blir påvirket av ulike psykologiske elementer. I dette forskningsprosjektet ble tidsoppfatningen av en visuell og auditiv stimulus testet. 48 elever ble delt i to grupper, og ble eksponert for enten en auditiv eller visuell stimulus av lik varighet. De skulle estimere hvor lenge de oppfattet stimuliene til å vare. Gruppen som ble utsatt for auditive stimuli, oppfattet den i gjennomsnitt som 340 millisekunder lenger enn gruppen som ble utsatt for visuelle stimuli. Forskjellen var statistisk signifikant
Karakterer korrelerer ikke med kunnskapsnivå
Get PDFFormålet med denne studien var å undersøke hvorvidt allmennkunnskap korrelerer med gjennomsnittskarakterer hos elever i tredjeklasse på videregående. En quiz ble gitt til 96 elever på to forskjellige videregående skoler hvor de anonymt fylte ut kjønn, bursdagsmåned, bydel, hvor i søskenflokken de er, samt deres gjennomsnittskarakter. Quizen hadde fem kategorier med ti spørsmål i hver kategori. Resultatene varierte fra tre til 34 riktige svar, med en gjennomsnittskarakter som varierte fra 3,7 til 5,9. De forskjellige gruppene ble videre delt inn i grupper og sammenlignet med korrelasjon, standardavvik og/eller T.Test for å vise om forskjellene var signifikante eller ikke. Resultatet viste en korrelasjonskoeffisient på 0,09 og det betyr at det ikke var en sammenheng mellom karakterer og allmennkunnskap. Det var heller ingen korrelasjon mellom hvilken bydel eleven bodde i, hvilken måned man var født i eller hvor i søskenflokken man er.  
Ulike lukters påvirkning av kakerlakkers bevegelsesmønster
Get PDFHos insekter brukes luktesansen aktivt i søket etter habitat, partnere, trusler og mat. Kakerlakker har en presis luktesans som gjør det enklere å utføre disse livsnødvendige oppgavene. I denne studien undersøkte vi om sitron og mynte påvirker kakerlakkenes bevegelsesmønster. Eksperimentet ble designet for å måle hvorvidt kakerlakker holder gjennomsnittlig lenger avstand til mynte og sitron-lukt enn vann. En bomullsdott dryppet med seks dråper stimulerende lukt ble plassert i hvert hjørne av en firkantet boks, før en kakerlakk fikk vandre rundt fritt gjennom en tre minutters periode. Kakerlakkene fikk først tilvenne seg det nye habitatet før bomullsdottene ble plassert og forsøket begynte. Resultatene av forsøket tilsier at kakerlakkene i gjennomsnitt holder betydelig mindre avstand til sitron-bomullsdottene, men holder lenger avstand fra mynte-bomullsdottene. Fra vann til sitron minket gjennomsnittsavstanden med omtrent -35 %. Fra vann til mynte økte avstanden med omtrent 40 %. Vi kunne ikke konkludere med at disse resultatene var allmenngyldige for kakerlakker ettersom vi testet en liten gruppe
Some Kind of Bond
No full textSome Kind Of Bond is a film about a cemetery: a quiet and lonely place filled with life and memories. We observe the casual and the diligent visitors; we talk with them about their thoughts on death, loss and grief.
Some of them decide to invite us to their homes and together we go on an emotional journey through different personal experiences: the loss of a child, a grandparent and a mother
