Has Access to Music Streaming Services Evolved Client Preferred Music?
Get PDFIn this research proposal I discuss the potential effects of streaming services on client preferred music in the music therapy field. As music therapy students we are taught early on that the best way to start finding client preferred music is to play music from the clients late teens and twenties. This “formula” being taught was logically correct before the introduction of music streaming platforms, but may no longer hold true. Preceding music streaming platforms it was much more likely that people would be listening to a smaller range of music because it was less accessible, however, this is no longer the truth for most clients. Clients today have access to every kind of music they could possibly want through Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, ect., so does the formula still hold true or should music therapists be finding new ways to assess client preferred music? I plan to begin assessing this question using survey based research in this proposal
Does crude oil consumption affect economic output?
No full textThe United States is the highest petroleum-consuming country in the world, accounting for 20.4 percent of global petroleum consumption. The United States also ranks first globally concerning real GDP. I use time series national-level real GDP data from the FRED and national-level crude oil consumption data from the EIA to observe whether there is a relationship between crude oil consumption and real GDP. There are inconsistent viewpoints on this question by scholars; however, my preliminary results suggest a 2 million dollar increase in US real GDP for every additional barrel of crude oil consumed
Effect of Lying on Memory and Response Latency for Computer vs Face to Face
No full textThere is little research regarding the effects of lying on memory and response latency; however, available research suggests that response time can indicate the use of deception (Walcyzk et al., 2003). The objective of the present study is to investigate the effect that lying has on the response latency of memory recall. Participants watched a movie clip of a bank robbery, and then were asked to answer truthfully about details they actually saw for some questions and asked to lie and make up details that they did not actually witness on other questions. We split participants into two groups: computer and face-to-face. The computer participants viewed the video and then answered the questions on a computer program whereas face-to-face participants were asked the questions by another student. Participants retuned four to five weeks later, and their memory of the video clip was assessed using a yes/no recognition test. Participants either answered yes or no to whether or not they had seen the detail in the video. Some of the questions asked about details they had actually seen, others asked about details that were not witnessed and based on the lies they had provided on day one. The response time for each of the yes/no questions was recorded to determine if reaction time is a diagnostic measure of memory accuracy, if response time differs between truthfully witnessed details or false details they had lied about, and if answering the questions on the computer or face-to-face makes a difference
Detroit Lions Impressive Season Impacts
No full textZelia Griffith, Kolton Wilburn, and Wade Cooney Abstract: Topic: Binding or divisive? What is the impact of Detroit Lions winning impact on local community ties in Detroit? This research project dives into the dynamic relationship between the performance of the Detroit Lions, a prominent National Football League (NFL) team, and its impact on the community of Detroit. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research aims to investigate the effects of the team\u27s success on various aspects of the community, including local businesses, engagement, and overall morale. Through a combination of quantitative analyses and qualitative assessments, we seek to identify patterns and correlations between the team\u27s performance and indicators of community well-being. Key elements of the study include an examination of the community members and their perceptions of the economic impact, the influence of team success on civic pride and community cohesion, and the potential long-term impact on the city\u27s image and development in the eyes of the community. This research not only contributes to the understanding of the relationship between professional sports teams and their communities but also provides insights that may inform future strategies for community development and engagement initiatives. Ultimately, our findings aim to shed light on the broader implications of sports success for urban communities, with specific relevance to the unique context of Detroit and its cherished football franchise, the Detroit Lions
An Artists Redemption: Prison Systems Approach to Creative Arts Therapy
No full textThe integration of creative arts therapies in prisons has contributed to improving socioeconomic factors beyond prison bars. The plausible explanation for this trend is increased opportunities and incentives inmates derive from educational, vocational, and creative means. Previous research has primarily relied on quantitative data to show how demographics correlate with participation and improved mental health outcomes within art-based programs. However, this neglects the purpose of investing these programs in correctional facilities nationwide. Creative arts therapies are a significant mechanism in environments that focus on rehabilitation and producing productive, well-rounded members of society. Across multiple articles, various statistics reflect recidivism rates, employment rates, and social-emotional outcomes. With the acknowledgment of cross-sectional data, connections between creative arts and rehabilitative progression within prisons can be made. This allows for a qualitative study to determine what the arts contribute to prisoners and their re-entry into society. Contrary to popular belief, inmates involved in creative arts programs are not given leniency by participating but as a means to improve their behavior. In fact, their participation allows for purposeful productivity that enhances their mental and physical well-being. Studies have suggested that incarcerated individuals often associate art programs with positive reinforcement. This focus on recovery and opportunity through artistic expression has proven motivational. Consequently, the significance of this overview depicts the social and economic benefits acquired through creative arts therapies in prisons. Keywords: socioeconomic factors, creative arts therapies in prison, rehabilitative progression, positive reinforcement, artistic expressio
Los grupos paramilitares como desafío al modelo estado-nación en la región andina
No full textParamilitary groups in Colombia and Bolivia reflect a fallout of the Western nation-state model that was mapped over former Incan spaces at the beginning of the 19th century. Somewhere between plurinational and unformed states, these Andean nations face challenges in forming a coherent governing structure, at times challenged by geography and at others culture
Moab to Maharashtra: A Study in Sustainability
Get PDFContemporary architectural practices focused on sustainable design and materials evidence the increasingly important role art, architecture, and design occupy in conversations and solutions around climate change. As carbon emissions continue to rise and global climate change becomes ever harder to ignore, it is imperative that architectural design incorporate sustainable materials and practices accessible to all. Using data from artists, architects, and designers committed to sustainability one can address the changing responses and developing technologies used to address climate impact. This article focuses on sustainable architecture, its historical roots, and its contemporary application to geographic areas particularly susceptible to climate change. I incorporate my first-hand research and analysis of Utah-specific solutions to climate change, including the state’s overall sustainability practices, and the construction of LEED-certified buildings and environment-friendly designs. This includes a case study I conducted on-site at Community Rebuilds in Moab, UT, and examples of sustainable architecture and design practices in Salt Lake City and Maharashtra, India. Sustainable architecture and design is an exceptionally relevant and pressing issue. By bringing these disciplines into conversation with each other, my research addresses the impactful ways art and design may lead the discourse around sustainability
