It worked yesterday: On (re-)performing electroacoustic music
No full textPlaying electroacoustic music raises a number of challenges for performers such as dealing with obsolete or malfunctioning technology and incomplete technical documentation. Together with the generally higher workload due to the additional technical requirements the time available for musical work is significantly reduced. Many of the issues have their roots in composers, publishers, performers and promoters considering how their work process could easily be adapted to the additional demands of electroacoustic music. It was also found that the employment of music technologists cannot sufficiently make up for incomplete documentation and inadequate archiving of compositions. Using case studies made up of single compositions and whole concerts, solutions are proposed, which the several parties could effortlessly employ to considerably ease the process of preparing and performing electroacoustic music. Finally hands-on methods on how performers can deal with the situation as it is today are proposed. It is being hoped that by implementing these strategies not only better performances of electroacoustic music will be facilitated but also that electroacoustic works in general will enjoy a longer life-span in the future, thus enabling the sustenance of a vivid electroacoustic repertoire

Aesthetic Play and Ethic Sense. Aesthetics and Hermeneutics in Christoph Menke´s Theory of Tragedy
No full textEste trabajo es una indagación en la teoría y/o interpretación de la tragedia elaborada por Christoph Menke. Se tienen en cuenta tanto las tesis contenidas en su libro La actualidad de la tragedia y en otras publicaciones recientes, como las que el autor había ido exponiendo con anterioridad en algunos ensayos publicados a lo largo de los años noventa. Tras comparar su aportación con la contenida en la Tentativa sobre lo trágico de Peter Szondi, el presente trabajo se centra en la discusión que Menke ha mantenido con la filosofía moderna de la tragedia y muy en especial con la versión nietzscheana de la misma. Se analizan los motivos por los que Menke discrepa de la concepción nietzscheana de la tragedia como juego estético y se ahonda en su propuesta de entenderla en términos de tensión irresoluble entre la experiencia estética del juego y la experiencia ética de lo trágico. La hipótesis que se defiende aquí es que esta renovadora concepción de la tragedia sería fruto ella misma de otra tensión voluntariamente irresuelta en la obra del propio Menke: la que se da entre una concepción estética y una concepción hermenéutica de la obra de arte literaria.This paper is an investigation on the Theory and/or interpreting of Tragedy created by Christoph Menke. We take into account the thesis explained in his book La actualidad de la tragedia and other recent publications, and also those that the author presented previously in some essays published during the 90s. After comparing his contribution within the one included in Tentativa sobre lo trágico by Peter Szondi, the present paper focuses on the discussion that Menke has maintained with the modern Philosophy on Tragedy and especially with the version defended by Nietzsche about the same subject. We analyze the reason why Menke differs from the nietzscheanean conception of tragedy as an aesthetic play and we go deeper into his proposal to understand it in terms of unsolvable stress between the game aesthetic experience and the ethic experience of tragedy. The hypothesis we defend is based on the idea this renewal conception of Tragedy is result of another voluntary irresoluble tension in Menke´s own work: the tension product of an aesthetic conception and a hermeneutic conception of the literary work
Screening of extravascular findings in pulmonary embolism computer tomography: 397 patients with 1950 non-pulmonary artery findings
No full textObjectives The aim of this study was to investigate the possible benefits from computed tomography scans of patients with a suspected pulmonary artery embolism with a focus on relevant extravascular findings. Methods A total of 400 consecutive computed tomography pulmonary angiographies were evaluated. Computed tomography scans were analyzed in detail for the presence of pulmonary artery embolisms, as well as any other findings. Extra-artery discoveries were classified into none-relevant (Group A), intermediate (Group B), or relevant (Group C) findings. Results Aggregated computed tomography pulmonary angiographies detected other diagnosis than pulmonary artery embolism in 236 patients (59%). There were 1950 non-pulmonary artery embolism findings (4.9 per patient; n = 397). In the pulmonary artery embolism group, there were 447 extra-pulmonary artery embolism findings (5.2 per patient; n = 86) and in the non-pulmonary artery embolism group, 1503 findings (4.8 per patient; n = 311). Patients with pulmonary artery embolism had a significantly higher rate of pro-coagulate risk factors ( p < 0.001). Conclusions Computed tomography pulmonary angiographies may help to identify further diagnoses. This study represents a retrospective review of a single center experience for incidental computed tomography findings during pulmonary artery embolism work-up and emphasizes the importance of analyzing the whole field-of-view. </jats:sec
Paradoxien der Autonomie (second edition)
No full textDie Reihe „Freiheit und Gesetz“ ist einer Idee gewidmet, die die moderne praktische Philosophie begründet – der Idee, dass die Freiheit des Subjekts und die Verbindlichkeit von Normen („das Gesetz“) nicht im Gegensatz zueinander stehen, sondern durch einander zu erläutern sind: Ein Gesetz ist nur dann verbindlich, sofern wir es uns selbst gegeben haben, so dass sich in dessen Wirksamkeit zugleich unsere Freiheit verwirklicht. Eben darin besteht die moderne Idee der Autonomie. Die Reihe dient der kritischen Untersuchung dieser Idee. Sie fragt nach den Spannungen, die in ihr aufbrechen, den Voraussetzungen, auf denen sie aufruht, und den Folgen, die ihre – politische, rechtliche, soziale – Verwirklichung hat. Der erste Band der Serie beschäftigt sich mit dem Verdacht, dass die Idee der Autonomie von dem Paradox bedroht ist, in Willkür oder Heteronomie, in grundlose Setzung oder unfreie Selbstunterwerfung umzuschlagen. Dieses Paradox, so der Verdacht, besteht darin, dass sich hinter der Verknüpfung von Freiheit und Gesetz Zwang oder Gesetzlosigkeit auftut. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes diskutieren kontrovers, ob diese Diagnose zutrifft; ob die Idee der Autonomie sich in ein Paradox verstrickt; wie das Paradox der Autonomie, wenn es aufbricht, zu verstehen ist; und wie sich das Paradox vermeiden oder so entfalten lässt, dass es lebbar wir
Long-term intraocular pressure changes in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration treated with ranibizumab
No full textBACKGROUND/AIMS
To investigate the long-term effects of multiple intravitreal injections (IVTs) of ranibizumab (Lucentis) on intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
METHODS
In 320 eyes, IOP measurements were performed at baseline prior to injection and compared with IOP measurements of the last visit. Correlations between mean IOP change and total number of IVTs, visual acuity or patient age were tested.
RESULTS
The mean IOP increase was 0.8 ± 3.1 mm Hg (p < 0.0001). Seven eyes showed final IOP values between 22 and 25 mm Hg. The mean follow-up was 22.7 ± 14.1 months. No further correlations between IOP change and number of IVTs, visual acuity or patient age have been found.
CONCLUSIONS
This study demonstrated a statistically significant IOP increase in patients treated with repeated injections of ranibizumab. However, IOP increase required no glaucoma treatment during the study. Therefore, repeated injections with ranibizumab can be considered safe with regard to long-term IOP changes in patients without ocular hypertension or glaucoma
