It is well known that suicidal rates vary considerably among European countries and the reasons for this are unknown, although several theories have been proposed. The effect of economic variables has extensively studied but not climate. Data from 29 covering years 2000–2012 concerning male female standardized (according to WHO), World Bank) climate were gathered. statistical analysis included cluster principal component categorical regression. derived models explained 62.4 % variability...
A study of musical timbre semantics was conducted with listeners from two different linguistic groups. In separate experiments, native Greek and English speaking participants were asked to describe 23 instrument tones variable pitch using a predefined vocabulary 30 adjectives. The common experimental protocol facilitated the investigation influence language on by allowing for direct comparisons between Data reduction techniques applied data each group revealed three salient semantic...
The current study expands our previous work on interlanguage musical timbre semantics by examining the relationship between and perception of timbre. Following Zacharakis, Pastiadis, Reiss (2014), a pairwise dissimilarity listening test involving participants from two separate linguistic groups (Greek English) was conducted. Subsequent multidimensional scaling analysis produced 3D perceptual space for each language. comparison spaces suggested that is unaffected native Additionally,...
The purpose of this study was to develop a time-efficient music exposure and testing paradigm that safely creates temporary cochlear dysfunction could be used in future threshold shift (TTS) studies.
Abstract Purpose: The aim of this paper is to present and describe the development validation new Words in Babble test modern Greek. Materials Methods: Four 50-word phonemically balanced lists babble noise were administered 44 normal hearing subjects 53 patients with loss (HL) ears mild moderate sensorineural HL (SNHL). word monoaurally presented (i.e., separately for right left ears) at 11 signal-to-noise (babble) intensity levels, from −12 +12 dB. signal remained constant 65 dB all...
Abstract The present study was carried out to determine whether recorded musical tones played at various pitches on a clarinet, flute, an oboe, and trumpet are perceived as being equal in loudness when presented listeners the same A -weighted level. This psychophysical investigation showed systematic effects of both instrument type pitch that could be related spectral properties sounds under consideration. Level adjustments were needed equalize well exceeded typical values JNDs for signal...
Abstract Introduction This study tests the efficacy of pregabalin versus placebo as adjunctive treatment in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) comorbid unipolar major depression (UMD) and an early nonresponse to escitalopram. Methods is a double-blind, placebo-controlled 8-week add-on pregabalin, 75–600 mg/day (n=31) (n=29) on open-label escitalopram outpatients meeting DSM-IV-TR criteria for GAD UMD. The main outcome measures were change from baseline endpoint total STAI-S,...
Purpose We aimed to develop and validate the Musicians' Hearing Handicap Index (MHHI), a new self-evaluation tool for quantifying occupation-related auditory difficulties in music professionals. Although pure-tone audiometry is often considered "gold standard" usually employed as main instrument hearing assessment, it cannot fully describe impact of dysfunction. The MHHI an attempt complement impairment assessment toolbox based on unique approach quantify effects hearing-related symptoms or...
This study presents a listening experiment designed to further examine the previously proposed luminance-texture-mass (LTM) model for timbral semantics. Thirty two musically trained listeners rated twenty four instrument tones on six predefined semantic scales, namely, brilliance, depth, roundness, warmth, fullness and richness. The selection of this limited set descriptors was based previous exploratory work. These scales were analysed through Principal Component Analysis (PCA)...
To determine if blood prestin level changes after exposure to music at high sound pressure levels, and this change is associated with temporary threshold shift (TTS) and/or in distortion product (DP) amplitude.
Studies of timbre are usually conducted in a"vacuum" perfect silence.However, the real-world, sounds mostly heard presence competing background noise.Aseries pairwise dissimilarity listening tests on musically trained participants demonstrated howd i ff erent levels noise can cause rearrangement spaces.Furthermore, it wass hown that while spectral acoustic descriptors (e.g.spectral centroid or tristimulus values)seem robust under noise, representing deviations from purely harmonic...
Musically induced tension has been the subject of thorough study in music cognition literature but its relationship with timbre is still poorly investigated. This examines how dynamic variation a tone’s inharmonicity may affect number auditory qualities, namely brightness, roughness and mass along felt under different acoustical conditions (i.e., F 0 , spectral shape type inharmonicity). Fifty-six musically trained participants gave real-time continuous ratings on eight time-varying stimuli...
