Audiomobiles, Sculptures and Conundrums
No full textRoberto Gerhard was a pioneer of electronic music in England creating a number of substantial concert, theatre and radio works from as early as 1954. Gerhard’s electronic music is one of the richest repositories for understanding the development of the composer’s late compositional technique. Apart from the Symphony no.3, ‘Collages’, none of Gerhard’s electronic music is published. This paper will discuss aspects of Gerhard’s electronic music, focusing on Audiomobiles (1958-59) and Sculptures (1963)
Roberto Gerhard’s Sound Compositions: A Historical-Philological Perspective. Archive, Process, Intent and reenactment
No full textThis research advances the current state of knowledge in the field of early tape music both empirically and methodologically. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact that the electronic medium exerted in the musical thinking of Roberto Gerhard, one of the most outspoken, prolific and influential composers in the Spanish diaspora whose musical legacy, for the most part unknown, is a major landmark in the early history of electroacoustic music. Gerhard’s personal tape collection, one of the largest historical archives of its kind reported in the literature, is exceptional for both its antiquity (50+-year-old tapes) and its abundance of production materials. Through the digitisation and analysis of the composer’s tape collection this research argues that the empirical study of audio documents sets out a basis for a broader understanding of textual processes. More specifically, the research demonstrates that the reconstruction of works based on magnetic tape sketches is a powerful method to advance the understanding of early tape music. This research also examines Gerhard’s sound compositions in relation to the post-war context in which they were composed. Finally, this research presents performance documentation that proposes an approach to the electroacoustic music repertoire in which creativity is not at odds with rigor and critical discernment demonstrating that archival study can be closely aligned to the concept of re-enactment

No full textLa psicologia applicata negli istituti penitenziari
No full textLa psicologia nel contesto penitenziario è un campo di studio e intervento che si sviluppa in risposta alle specifiche richieste delle Istituzioni, principalmente dell’Amministrazione penitenziaria. Tale disciplina è chiamata a rispondere alle esigenze legate alla fase di accoglienza, di esecuzione della pena all’interno degli istituti penitenziari, ma anche nella fase di esecuzione della pena in contesti esterni al carcere, nonché in ciò che attiene alla giustizia minorile.
Questo capitolo offre un primo accompagnamento per coloro che sono interessati alla psicologia penitenziaria, concentrando l’attenzione sui compiti e sui metodi di lavoro applicati nei confronti di soggetti adulti nell’ambito dell’esecuzione della pena all’interno delle strutture detentive.
Il capitolo esamina i molteplici compiti in cui è coinvolta la professionalità psicologica. Inizialmente, si concentra sull’attività trattamentale destinata ai soggetti reclusi e sull'importanza dell’attività di co-progettazione con tutti gli operatori coinvolti nel processo. Vengono quindi presentate in base alle progressive fasi del percorso di esecuzione, le attività svolte dagli psicologi.
L’attenzione è quindi rivolta all’evoluzione delle modalità di accoglienza e sostegno fornito al detenuto per arginare il fenomeno del rischio autolesivo e suicidario nei contesti di detenzione, fenomeno che assume dimensioni notevolmente più rilevanti nell'ambito penitenziario rispetto alla popolazione generale. Successivamente, vengono presentati gli aspetti relativi al ruolo e alle attività svolte dallo psicologo cosiddetto esperto ex art. 80 O.P. (Ordimento Penitenziario), alle sue competenze e strumenti specifici.
Il capitolo si conclude con riflessioni sul trattamento psicologico nel contesto penitenziario, fornendo elementi essenziali per una preliminare contestualizzazione della professione psicologica in situazioni di detenzione

Roberto Tibau and the process of making architecture
No full textEste estudo documenta a vida e a obra de Roberto José Goulart Tibau (1924-2003), arquiteto brasileiro. O objetivo fundamental - e mais importante - é reunir informações sobre os projetos e obras mais significativos desenvolvidos durante sua atividade profissional, tornando-os acessíveis através dessa pesquisa. O trabalho baseou-se em pesquisa bibliográfica, levantamento e registro das obras e projetos realizados, currículo profissional, e depoimento de Tibau, concedido ao autor, em 1998. Em Roberto Tibau e o fazer arquitetura são descritos os caminhos percorridos pelo arquiteto; o contexto histórico de sua formação e atuação profissional; a relação de sua produção arquitetônica com outras obras da época; e eventuais referências projetuais utilizadas na criação dos seus projetos. Este trabalho vem preencher uma lacuna bibliográfica considerável, trazendo à luz, a obra deste significativo arquiteto, que dedicou sua vida ao trabalho na prancheta, na qual deixou sua marca de humanista.This study documents the life and work of Roberto José Goulart Tibau (1924-2003), a Brazilian architect. It aims to collect information about the most significant projects developed during the years of his professional career, which will become available through this research. The present study based on bibliographical research, examination and registration of the projects executed by the architect, his resumé, and his testimonial to the author of this research, in 1998. In Roberto Tibau and the process of making architecture there is a description of the ways in which his projects were conceived; the historical context through his professional activity since graduation, the relation between his own production and the production of other architects of the same period, and the projecting references used for his creations. This research is also an attempt to fill a signicant bibliographical gap of architecture history in Brazil by bringing to light the work of this relevant architect, who dedicated his life to working on his drawing table, leaving to us his humanistic style
Carotid intervention 3: The evidence for cerebral protection
No full textCarotid stenting is a safe alternative option to conventional carotid endarterectomy in the treatment of carotid artery stenosis in patients considered poor candidates for surgery or who choose not to have open surgery. During the stenting procedure, however, distal embolization may occur with neurological sequelae. To reduce the incidence of this, several cerebral-protection devices (CPDs) have been developed. Different types of CPDs are now commercially available: distal occlusion balloons, distal filters, and proximal protection devices-+ with or without reversal of flow. But complications can occur with their use and are usually associated with an inability to cross the lesion, failure to capture the emboli, vasospasm, and vessel wall injury. Because protection devices are currently the focus of interest by manufacturers and physicians, several trials are going on worldwide to analyze the characteristics of each of them and to evaluate their efficacy in reducing the rate of distal embolization.

No full textCarotid angioplasty and stenting is a valid alternative option to conventional carotid endarterectomy in the treatment of carotid artery stenosis. During the stenting process, however, distal embolization can occur with neurological consequences. To avoid this, cerebral protection devices have been introduced. Three principal types of protection system have been developed: distal balloon occlusion, distal filters and proximal protection with or without reversal of flow. As protection devices became the focus of interest by manufactures and physicians, several trials are going on worldwide to analyze the characteristics of each of them and to evaluate their efficacy to reduce the rate of distal embolization
