From the pitch to the sound : exploring harmonic terrories
No full textOrientador: Silvio Ferraz Mello FilhoDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de ArtesResumo: Este trabalho tem por finalidade avaliar determinados aspectos que nortearam algumas das principais especulações realizadas no campo da harmonia na música do século XX. Dentre os objetivos estiveram presentes: apontar as premissas e estratégias que fizeram parte de cada novo território harmônico, bem como explorar a idéia do uso de "matrizes harmônicas" como princípio composicional. Aliado a isso, ressaltamos também as relações entre as estratégias composicionais, via manipulação de alturas, e suas resultantes enquanto timbre e sonoridade. Para tanto, foram escolhidos compositores que em algum momento fizeram do timbre harmônico e da matéria sonora mais um elemento caracterizante dentro do processo composicional. Dentre os compositores figuraram: Claude Debussy, Arnold Schoenberg, Igor Stravinsky, Edgard Varèse, Pierre Schaeffer, Olivier Messiaen, Pierre Boulez e Flo Menezes. No caso de Varèse, justificamos sua significativa presença no trabalho por julgarmos sua relação com a matéria sonora, seu próprio material composicional, precursora na música do século XX. Por este motivo, fez-se necessário uma análise de Intégrales visando uma maior aproximação do seu idioma composicional e de suas estratégias para a escrita do timbre. Paralelamente aos estudos, tivemos como resultado uma série de obras compostas pelo autor onde a utilização de "matrizes harmônicas" passou a ser um aspecto relevante para o processo composicional, uma espécie de guia da sonoridade.Abstract: This study has the goal of evaluating certain aspects that guided some of the main speculations in harmony in twentieth-century music. Among its objectives are: to point out the premisses and strategies that took part in each new harmonic territory, as well as to explore the use of harmonic matrixes as a compositional principle. At the same time we underline how compositional strategies relate by means of pitch manipulation, and their results in timbre and sonority. To achieve this, we chose composers that in some point made use of harmonic timbre and sound matter as a distinctive element in the compositional process. Among them stand: Claude Debussy, Arnold Schoenberg, Igor Stravinsky, Edgard Varèse, Pierre Schaeffer, Olivier Messiaen and Pierre Boulez. In Varèse's case, we justify his significant appearance by judging his relation to sound matter, and his own composition material, as pioneering in twentieth-century music. For this reason, an analysis of Intégrales became necessary, aiming at a closer approach to his musical idiom and his strategies for the writing of timbre. Besides the studies, we had as a result a series of works composed by the author in which the use of harmonic matrixes became a relevant feature in the compositional process, a sort of a guide to sonority.MestradoMestre em Músic
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Análise de fatores motivacionais em iniciantes à prática de musculação em academia
Get PDFTCC (Graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Desportos. Curso de Graduação em Educação Física.O objetivo central deste estudo foi verificar entre as seis dimensões motivacionais (Controle de Estresse, Saúde, Sociabilidade, Competitividade, Estética e Prazer) quais as que mais motivam iniciantes à prática de musculação como prática regular de Atividade Física e/ou Esportivas. Aplicou-se o Inventário de Motivação à Prática Regular de Atividade Física, o IMPRAF-54 (BALBINOTTI ; BARBOSA, 2008). A amostra foi composta por 47 indivíduos iniciantes à prática de musculação na academia AASSUFSC (Associação Atlética dos Servidores da UFSC). Constatou-se que com relação a variável Sexo, a dimensão que mais motiva os indivíduos é a Saúde, seguida das dimensões Prazer e Estética para homens, e Estética e Prazer paras mulheres, sendo as dimensões Controle de Estresse, Sociabilização e Competitividade as menos motivadoras. Com relação a variável Grupos de Idades (Adolescentes 18 – 20 anos, Jovens Adultos 21 – 40 anos), a Saúde é a dimensão que mais motiva ambos os grupos, seguida do Prazer, Estética e Controle do Estresse para o grupo de adolescentes, e Controle do Estresse e Estética para o grupo de jovens adultos. As dimensões que menos motivaram os dois grupos de idade, foram a Sociabilidade, e por último a Competitividade
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
