Remitted depression and temperament: The role of effortful control and attentional mechanisms
No full textTemperamental effortful control and attentional networks are increasingly viewed as important underlying processes in depression and anxiety. However, it is still unknown whether these factors facilitate depressive and anxiety symptoms in the general population and, more specifically, in remitted depressed individuals. We investigated to what extent effortful control and attentional networks explain concurrent depressive and anxious symptoms in healthy individuals (n = 270) and remitted depressed individuals (n = 90). Both samples were highly representative of the US population. Effortful control predicted a substantial decrease in symptoms of both depression and anxiety in the whole sample, whereas decreased efficiency of executive attention predicted a modest increase in depressive symptoms. Remitted depressed individuals did not show less effortful control nor less efficient attentional networks than healthy individuals. Moreover, clinical status did not moderate the relationship between temperamental factors and either depressive or anxiety symptoms. Our study shows that temperamental effortful control represents an important transdiagnostic process for depressive and anxiety symptoms in adults
SLOVENIAN COMPOSERS OF TAMBURITZA MUSIC THROUGHOUT HISTORY
No full textTamburaštvo je na Slovenskem prisotno že več kot stoletje in ni značilno samo za Belo krajino, kot marsikdo predvideva. Tako sta prvi do sedaj znani tamburaški zasedbi delovali v Cvenu pri Ljutomeru in Trstu leta 1890.
Čeprav se še vedno obravnava kot ljudski instrument, se je razvoj igranja nanj dvignil že visoko nad nivo ljudske glasbe, za kar so v veliki meri zaslužna tamburaška srečanja, ki brez premora potekajo od leta 1981. V zadnjih desetih letih, odkar imajo srečanja tekmovalni značaj, je v Sloveniji vodilni tamburaški orkester Dobreč iz Dragatuša, ki je bil od leta 2005 osemkrat proglašen za najboljši tamburaški orkester v Sloveniji.
Kljub današnji slabši prepoznavnosti tamburaške glasbe pri nas so za tamburaške orkestre že od konca 19. stoletja naprej pisali pomembni slovenski skladatelji. Poleg intenzivnejšega dela v tamburaških zasedbah in izobraževanja njihovih vodij je prav gotovo tudi to pripomoglo k dvigovanju nivoja igranja na ta instrument. Uporabljene so bile naslednje metode: deskriptivna metoda, zgodovinska metoda in metoda klasifikacije. V sklepu avtor povzame in komentira obravnavano snov.Tamburitza playing has been present in Slovenia for over a century. It is not, however, typical only of the Bela krajina region, as one may presume. The first two known tamburitza groups were active in Cven near Ljutomer and in Trieste around 1890.
Although tamburitza is still considered to be a folk instrument, the developement of playing has risen high above the level of folk music. This is largley the merit of tamburitza festivals which have been organized since 1981. In the last decade, since the festivals have gained a competitive chraracter, Tamburitza Orchestra Dobreč from Dragatuš has been nominated eight times as the best tamburitza orchestra in Slovenia.
In spite of today\u27s minor recognition of tamburitza music in Slovenia, important Slovenian composers have been composing music for tamburitza orchestras since the end of 19th century. This has, apart from intensive work in tamburitza ensembles and education of orchestra conducters, definitely contributed to the higher level of tamburitza playing. Used methods: descriptive method, history method and classificatory method. In conclusion part the author summarizes and comments the subject of the diploma paper
Temperamental factors in remitted depression : the role of effortful control and attentional mechanisms
No full textTemperamental effortful control and attentional networks are increasingly viewed as important underlying processes in depression and anxiety. However, it is still unknown whether these factors facilitate depressive and anxiety symptoms in the general population and, more specifically, in remitted depressed individuals. We investigated to what extent effortful control and attentional networks (i.e., Attention Network Task) explain concurrent depressive and anxious symptoms in healthy individuals (n = 270) and remitted depressed individuals (n = 90). Both samples were highly representative of the US population. Increased effortful control predicted a substantial decrease in symptoms of both depression and anxiety in the whole sample, whereas decreased efficiency of executive attention predicted a modest increase in depressive symptoms. Remitted depressed individuals did not show less effortful control nor less efficient attentional networks than healthy individuals. Moreover, clinical status did not moderate the relationship between temperamental factors and either depressive or anxiety symptoms. Limitations include the cross-sectional nature of the study. Our study shows that temperamental effortful control represents an important transdiagnostic process for depressive and anxiety symptoms in adults
Novel approaches to cognitive control impairments in depression
No full textCognitive control impairments are theorized to contribute to the onset and maintenance of depression. Despite considerable progress in this research, there remain important challenges to further knowledge of the causes and nature of cognitive control impairments in depression. In this paper, we critically review contemporary research and theories on cognitive control in depression. We follow by outlining several limitations that characterize the current state of research in this field. Next, we discuss recent developments in basic cognitive science and neuroscience that may inform clinical research and research on cognitive control. We argue that there is a need for updating the current clinical perspectives on cognitive control in depression. We conclude this article with formulating a number of ways in which research on cognitive control impairments in depression can be advanced based on developments in basic science
