Understanding and Securing Your Author Rights When You Publish - Special Session with Eric Halpern of Penn Press
No full textWhen you publish, you will be required to sign some sort of publishing agreement, but what does that agreement actually say? What rights are you giving away, and what rights do you retain? Can you post your article to your website? Can you use it in the classroom? Can you send it to colleagues?
This workshop will feature Eric Halpern, Director of Penn Press, who will discuss the main clauses of a book publishing contract, and Sarah Wipperman, Scholarly Communication & Digital Repository Librarian, who will discuss journal agreements, retaining your rights, and ways you can share your work
The Neurologist Lipman Halpern—Author of the Oath of the Hebrew Physician
No full textLipman Halpern was born in 1902 into a family of Grand Rabbis who lived in Bialystok from the mid-nineteenth century. Inspired by his son’s decision to study medicine, Halpern’s father authored a comprehensive and innovative book on medicine according to Rabbinic Law. After completing his initial medical studies in Königsberg, Halpern went on to specialize in neuropsychiatry in Berlin and then in Zurich.
In 1934, Halpern immigrated to Eretz-Israel (then Palestine), where he founded and expanded the Department of Neurology at the Hadassah University Hospital in Jerusalem. Under his guidance, the department became a leader in clinical neurology, clinical and basic neurological research, and teaching. For the graduation of the first class of the Faculty of Medicine of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1952, he authored the “Oath of the Hebrew Physician,” which went on to become the official oath for all new physicians graduating from Israeli faculties of medicine.
Halpern authored many clinical and research articles in English, German, French, and Hebrew. His studies on the relationship between the vestibular, cerebellar, and visual systems resulted in the description of the phenomenon of “monocular disequilibrium” and the “sensorimotor induction syndrome,” also known as “Halpern’s syndrome.” In 1953 he became the first Israel Prize laureate in Medicine. Halpern died in 1968 while serving his second term as Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Hebrew University
Voluntary Auditory Imagery and Music Pedagogy
No full textAndrea Halpern and Katie Overy review research on auditory imagery from a psychology perspective. They then argue that auditory imagery can be used actively as a tool in various music education and rehearsal contexts. As exemplified by aspects of the pedagogical approaches of Zoltán Kodály and Edward Gordon, as well as Nelly Ben-Or’s techniques of mental representation for concert pianists, Halpern and Overy suggest that the conscious and deliberate use of auditory imagery could be exploited more in music education, as it has profound benefits for musicians as a rehearsal strategy. The authors call for further empirical investigations of how voluntary auditory imagery might be used most effectively as a training technique for both professional musicians and in classroom settings

Ida Halpern: A Post-Colonial Portrait of a Canadian Pioneer Ethnomusicologist
No full textThe work of Ida Halpern (1910–87), one of Canada's first musicologists and a pioneer ethnomusicologist, has been largely ignored. This essay illuminates her most important contribution to the musical development of this country: the documentation of Native musics. Halpern devoted some four decades to recording and analyzing over five hundred songs of the Kwakwaka'wakw, the Nuuchahnulth, the Haida, the Nuxalk, and the Coast Salish First Nations of British Columbia—a truly remarkable achievement considering that a large part of her fieldwork was conducted during a period when it was illegal for Native cultures to be celebrated, much less preserved. The author discusses the strengths and weaknesses of her methodology as well as some factors affecting the reception of her work by academic peers and by the communities she worked with. While Halpern did not always thoroughly investigate context, she endeavoured to write heteroglossically and to invent a theory that accounted for the music of these songs

Mark-ups in the Hungarian Corporate Sector
No full textOne of the major tasks facing a transition economy is to create the competitive environment of a properly functioning market economy. This paper attempts to analyze the relationship of market structure, market imperfections and corporate performance by mark-up pricing. There is clear evidence for the existence of such market imperfections. However, these imperfections cannot be attributed to one single factor. We develop a varying coefficient model for the relationship between the factors facilitating rent-collection and the sectoral mark-ups.firms in transition economy, market imperfections, mark-up pricing

Translation of Verran Snyder-Halpern sleep scale into Russian
No full textThis thesis offers an overview of Russian immigration and a summary of the
impact of Soviet Socialism on attitudes ofRussian society. The emigre endures
barriers to health services based on cultural and language differences and little is
known of Russian health practices. The elderly are vulnerable to health problems
because of the poor health care in the old USSR. The author identifies chronic ill
health and depression as contributing to reported sleep disturbances, leading to
exacerbation of physical and emotional illness. A search for Russian language
health assessment forms revealed none existed. The purpose of this paper is to
demonstrate a rigorous process for translating an English instrument, the V erran
Snyder-Halpern Sleep Scale, into Russian while preserving cultural and linguistic
equivalency. By adopting principles from cross-cultural psychology, the author
develops a protocol for an asymmetrical translation using content equivalence,
forward and back-translation, analysis of back-translations, and bilingual error in
meaning checks. The result was a Russian version of the Verran Snyder-Halpern
Sleep Scale that is culturally and linguistically equivalent.Digitized from a paper copy provided by the Arizona Health Sciences Library
