Motif of Death in Irina Odoyevtseva’s Prose
No full textThe present paper brings an analysis of the motif of death in Irina Odoyevtseva’s novels "Zerkalo",
"Izolda" and "Angel smerti". In the prose of Odoyevtseva, who belonged to the younger generation of the
Russian Emigration (the first wave), death is a frequent motif. The author explores how Odoyevtseva
refers to Mikhail Lermontov’s poems and to the Celtic story of "Tristan and Iseult

Exercise may help playing-related musculoskeletal disorders in traditional musicians. a controlled cohort pilot study
No full textBackgroundPlaying-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) are defined as pain, weakness, lack of control, numbness, tingling or other symptoms that interfere with the ability to play an instrument at the accustomed level, and are most common among the players of stringed instruments1.ObjectiveTo determine whether an exercise intervention could reduce the severity of PRMDs in traditional musicians.MethodTwo similar traditional groups were identified. Inclusion criteria: (i) adults who played a musical instrument for more than 5 years, (ii) with or without PRMD. Following ethical approval one group (EG) received an exercise and advice intervention (5 workshops over a 10-week period) and the other (control group: CG) continued with normal practice. EG: stretching, postural awareness with core stability exercise, breathing and relaxation exercises. Outcome measures included a numerical rating scale to measure pain severity ‘today’ and ‘during the past week’.ResultsTwenty eight musicians participated (CG: n = 11; EG: n = 17). Most (26/28) played at least 2 instruments (main instrument fiddle: n = 14; second instrument piano: n = 8, guitar: n = 7). 18 had played for more than 10 years (range: 1 – 25 years) and 25/28 played more than 6 hours/week (range: 6 – 40). There were no statistically significant differences between the groups for gender, age or the hours of practice per week, though the CG was slightly younger (age: CG = 23.5 6.2, EG = 26.88 6.7). When the severity of the PRMD problem was compared to baseline (Wilcoxon Signed-rank test), there was a statistically significant difference betweens the groups (p = .017) with the exercise group experiencing a decrease in the severity of the PRMD (difference: + = increase in problem, - = decrease in problem, 0 = no change) (CG: median = 0, IQR: -2 to +2.5; EG: median = -1, IQR: -4 to 0).ConclusionsThis small pilot study suggests that an exercise and advice intervention that includes a range of components can reduce the severity of PRMDs in musicians and is more effective than no intervention/usual care. However, conclusions cannot be drawn regarding any individual intervention and further study is needed.Key wordsPRMD, traditional musician<br/

Francis Stuart
Get PDFA quarter-century of a friendship between a student and an elderly author frames this authorized biography of Stuart. His marriage to Maud Gonne’s daughter Iseult, contentious relationship with Yeats, and imprisonment for anti-Treaty gunrunning earned this troubled young poet attention even before his stint in WWII Berlin. His broadcasts from the Nazi capital gained him infamy, his alleged collaboration and purported anti-Semitism continued to rile critics a half-century later, and he remaine..
