Definitions of "Chord" in the Teaching of Tonal Harmony
No full textIn North America, there has been a growing tendency in recent years to include pop-rock examples in undergraduate tonal-harmony classes. Yet by incorporating pop-rock music into the classical harmony classroom, teachers come face to face with some of the fundamental differences between the harmonic idioms of these two styles. Assuming we continue to incorporate pop-rock music in the classical harmony classroom and do not give it its own separate course, the question becomes whether we should use pop-rock excerpts only to the extent that they can serve as illustrations of classical idioms, or instead engage pop-rock music on its own terms. If we choose the latter option, and endeavor to move beyond a treatment of pop-rock music that is somewhat tokenistic (if well-intentioned), we must then also decide whether those pop-rock-music ‘terms’ be defined in ways classical musicians would define them (etic-ally), or in ways pop-rock musicians would define them (emic-ally).Peer reviewe
Transformation in Rock Harmony: An Explanatory Strategy
No full textMusical transformation is an extremely broad, abstract explanatory concept, capable of covering not just instances of radical conversion but, in fact, all degrees of musical change. When it comes to rock, transformations are among the most powerful and talked-about musical effects. Many of these effects are harmonic, and this article seeks to give voice to a number of these. To this end, I will present several musical examples from the rock repertoire that will help clarify some common kinds of harmonic transformations, as well as some common kinds of harmonic structures involved in such transformations.Peer reviewe

A competência no cotidiano : um constructo buscando uma identidade
No full textO presente trabalho pretende dar uma contribuição conceitual ao constructo “competência no cotidiano”. Depois de uma discussão introdutória sobre as razões da crescente atenção da competência no cotidiano na Gerontologia, são esboçadas, numa primeira parte, seis tendências de pesquisa com relevância para a competência no cotidiano: 1 Pesquisa gerontológica cognitiva sobre situações no cotidiano; 2 Pesquisas sobre ADL/IADL (atividades de vida diária, instrumental de atividades de vida diária); 3 Pesquisa sobre lazer, 4 Pesquisa sobre coping; 5 Pesquisa sobre a organização temporal de atividades e 6 Pesquisa ecológico-gerontológica. Numa segunda parte, são apresentados e analisados dois modelos com forte influência na competência no cotidiano, o modelo de Margret Baltes e o modelo de Sherry Willis. Numa terceira parte é elaborada uma concepção integrada de competência no cotidiano, de modo que interrelaciona aspectos das seis tendências de pesquisa com elementos importantes dos dois modelos de competência no cotidiano.The goal of this paper is to contribute to conceptual issues associated with the construct of everyday competence. After the description of reasons for the increased attention which everyday competence has found within gerontology, the first section of this work serves to shed light on six research traditions with relevance for everyday competence: (1) Research on everyday cognitive processes, (2) ADL/IADL research, (3) leisure time research, (4) coping research, (5) time budget research, and (6) ecological gerontology research. In the second section, two influencial models of everyday competence, namely those of Margret Baltes and Sherry Willis, are discussed. Finally, an integrative conception of everyday competence, which is aimed to combine aspects of the six research traditions with elements of the two models of everyday competence, is suggested

Envelhecimento, campesinato e o crédito consignado : o papel educativo de movimentos sociais em relação as estratégias de educação financeira com idosas camponesas e idosos camponeses
No full textEsta tese de doutorado tem como tema de estudo o papel educativo dos Movimentos Sociais na vida de idosos camponeses e idosas camponesas, relacionando os campos de estudo campesinato, envelhecimento e crédito consignado. Possui como objetivos específicos: entender como o crédito consignado se relaciona com a vida de idosos e de idosas, pertencentes ao meio rural e que são integrantes de Movimentos Sociais; descrever as características do envelhecimento camponês, a partir de revisão bibliográfica, entrevistas, e observação participante realizada durante a pesquisa; identificar, a partir das falas de idosos e de idosas, bem como das lideranças locais, a importância dos Movimentos Sociais Sociais em relação as estratégias de educação financeira, o campesinato e o envelhecimento. A pesquisa participante foi realizada com 19 pessoas idosas dos municípios de Sagrada Família, Lajeado do Bugre, Ibirubá e Selbach, no Rio Grande do Sul. Juntamente ao trabalho com os camponeses e as camponesas, realizei entrevistas com três (03) lideranças locais do Movimento de Mulheres Camponesas e do Movimento dos Pequenos Agricultores. As entrevistas foram realizadas com pessoas entre 58 e 85 anos, sendo 15 (quinze) mulheres e 04 (quatro) homens. Apenas uma das pessoas idosas entrevistadas não havia participado de nenhuma atividade dos Movimentos Sociais citados, mas ela os conhecia e reconhecia sua importância para os sujeitos do campo. Para tanto, se procurou aproximar as compreensões sobre campesinato, envelhecimento, crédito consignado (que é apenas uma ação na vida financeira das pessoas) e movimentos sociais Essa perspectiva permitiu um enlace de temas ainda pouco explorados, quando pensados em sua forma articulada. De resultados temos, além da construção teórica sobre campesinato, envelhecimento e crédito consignado, a percepção dos sujeitos entrevistados sobre tais assuntos, de modo a dar voz e visibilidade àqueles e àquelas que vivenciam essas questões no seu cotidiano. Com relação ao papel educativo dos Movimentos Sociais, percebemos o quanto o ato de movimentar-se muda as pessoas, que aprendem e de forma coletiva passam a ressignificar seus conhecimentos e suas práticas. As principais referências teóricas utilizadas para o campesinato foram: Wanderley (2009); Ploeg (2008); Carvalho (2005); Cardoso (1987); Via Campesina (2013); Chayanov (2016); Shanin (1980); Ploeg (2016); Conte (2014). Para discutir teoricamente o envelhecimento foram utilizados: Netto (2002); Camarano e Pasinato (2006); IBGE; Silva (2008); Debert (1999/1996); Gorz (2009); Doll (2012); Minayo (2003). Com relação ao envelhecimento do campo: Wanderley e Favareto (2013); Camarano e Abramovay (2009); Morais, Rodrigues e Gerhardt (2008). Para o aprofundamento sobre o crédito consignado, foram citados: Doll e Cavallazzi (2016); Bauman (2008); Palácios (2008); SPC (2014). Por último, com relação a Movimentos Sociais, Rinco e Domingues (2012), contribuíram para o aprofundamento teórico.The present thesis is focused on the educational role of Social Movements in the lives of senior peasants concerning peasantry, aging and loan consignment studies. The specific objectives of this study are: understanding how loan consignment relates to the lives of elderly peasants engaged in Social Movements; describing the characteristics of peasant aging, based on bibliographic review, interviews, and participatory observation during the research; identifying the importance of Social Movements in relation to strategies on financial education as well as peasantry and aging through elderly and local leaderships perspectives. Participatory research was carried out with 19 elderly individuals from the following cities: Sagrada Família, Lajeado do Bugre, Ibirubá and Selbach, in Rio Grande do Sul. In addition to the work with peasants, three (03) local leaders from the Movement of Peasant Women (Movimento de Mulheres Camponesas) and from the Small Farmers' Movement (Movimento dos Pequenos Agricultores) were interviewed. The interviews were carried out with people between the ages of 58 and 85 - 15 (fifteen) women and 04 (four) men. Only one of the elderly subjects interviewed had not been engaged in any of the activities of the Social Movements cited. However, this person was acquainted with them and recognized their importance for the subjects of the field. In order to achieve the purpose of this work, a deeper comprehension of peasantry, aging, loan consignment (which is only one of the actions concerning an individual’s financial life) as well as of social movements were aimed in this study aimed This perspective brought about an intertwinement of subjects which had been under approached when thought of in their articulated form. From the results found in the present study, we can infer that besides building up a theoretical construction on peasantry, aging and loan consignment, the perception of the interviewed individuals on such subjects was able empower them, providing those who have experienced these issues throughout their daily lives with voice and visibility. Regarding the educational role of the Social Movements, we realize how much the action of engaging on a movement changes people and that they learn and collectively begin to give their knowledge and practices a different meaning. The main theoretical references used for the peasantry were: Wanderley (2009); Ploeg (2008); Carvalho (2005); Cardoso (1987); Via Campesina (2013); Chayanov (2016); Shanin (1980); Ploeg (2016); Conte (2014). In order to theoretically discuss the aging process Netto (2002); Camarano and Pasinato (2006); IBGE; Silva (2008); Debert (1999/1996); Gorz (2009); Doll (2012); Minayo (2003) were used. Regarding the aging field: Wanderley and Favareto (2013); Camarano and Abramovay (2009); Morais, Rodrigues and Gerhardt (2008). In order to deepen the comprehension on loan consignment, Doll and Cavallazzi (2016) were mentioned; Bauman (2008); Palaces (2008); SPC (2014). Finally, regarding Social Movements, Rinco and Domingues (2012), contributed to the theoretical deepening
Conceptual design of an anthropomorphic shake doll: Development of requirements for an anthropomorphic shake doll and design of an artificial joint for investigating the infant’s body kinematics during shaking.
No full textInfant shaking can cause serious damage (inflicted head injury by shaking trauma), it’s occurrence indicates the necessity for infant protection. To ensure reliable jurisprudence, it is important to know the exact consequences of shaking on an infant’s body. These consequences can be researched by the use of an anthropomorphic shake doll. With this doll, shake experiments can be performed in order to better understand the kinematics of the body and body parts during shaking. This study aims to establish design criteria for this doll as well as designing, producing and testing the joints for this model. A requirement list is presented, as well as a design for a joint that can be used for the limbs of the doll. To ensure structural integrity of this design, a representation of the joint was created and an indicative mechanical shake test was performed. Building further on this, real life prototypes have been made.Biomedical Engineerin
