Book Description
>Measurement in Pediatric Exercise Science> provides a unique combination: standardized lab protocols for assessing anthropometric and physiological attributes in children and complete information on field assessments of pediatric fitness. With this book, researchers and clinicians will find in a single reference everything they need for evaluating pediatric populations.Written by prominent international leaders in the field for the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP), this valuable text describes and critically evaluates a wide range of measurement techniques. In Parts I and II contributors focus on physical and physiological assessment:--Anthropometry-Body composition-Maturation-Anaerobic performance-Aerobic performance-Muscular strength and enduranceEach chapter in these two sections--introduces the measurement area;-discusses the significance of collecting the data;-discusses the developmental characteristics of the measurement variable; and-reviews the tests and protocols used most often, including guidelines and recommendations for standardizing the techniques used with pediatric populations.Whenever possible, the book includes normative standards to allow researchers to compare their subjects with others.After a complete evaluation of assessment techniques, Part III discusses measuring physical activity and critically analyzes the field tests and batteries that are used to test fitness levels in children. Batteries from the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe are considered and evaluated for their validity and reliability. Also, with the guidance of Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology (CSEP), one contributor provides recommendations for specific international standards.>Measurement in Pediatric Exercise Science> is an important reference for exercise scientists, pediatric sports medicine specialists, and pediatricians. It's also suitable as a text for upper-division undergraduate courses in growth and development and for graduate courses that focus on collecting and interpreting physical and physiological data on pediatric groups.
Moral Rights
Author: Mira T. Sundara RajanPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199749973
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 572
Book Description
The doctrine of moral rights is based on the idea that authors have a special bond with their own creative work. At present, the legal status of moral rights demands clarification and assessment as never before, particularly as the international expansion of moral rights occurs in the new environment of digital technology. Just as the survival of copyright law depends on its capacity to adapt effectively to the new technological environment, a new approach to moral rights is imperative. Moral Rights: Principles, Practice and New Technology is the first work to comprehensively address the role and challenges of moral rights in an environment of digital technology The problem is addressed from both practical and theoretical channels, and examples drawn from the legislation and practice of key jurisdictions around the world. The book concludes with a consideration of how the concept of moral rights can contribute to the re-organization of copyright law in a digital context.
Russian Music at Home and Abroad
Author: Richard TaruskinPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520288092
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 556
Book Description
This new collection views Russian music through the Greek triad of “the Good, the True, and the Beautiful” to investigate how the idea of "nation" embeds itself in the public discourse about music and other arts with results at times invigorating, at times corrupting. In our divided, post–Cold War, and now post–9/11 world, Russian music, formerly a quiet corner on the margins of musicology, has become a site of noisy contention. Richard Taruskin assesses the political and cultural stakes that attach to it in the era of Pussy Riot and renewed international tensions, before turning to individual cases from the nineteenth century to the present. Much of the volume is devoted to the resolutely cosmopolitan but inveterately Russian Igor Stravinsky, one of the major forces in the music of the twentieth century and subject of particular interest to composers and music theorists all over the world. Taruskin here revisits him for the first time since the 1990s, when everything changed for Russia and its cultural products. Other essays are devoted to the cultural and social policies of the Soviet Union and their effect on the music produced there as those policies swung away from Communist internationalism to traditional Russian nationalism; to the musicians of the Russian postrevolutionary diaspora; and to the tension between the compelling artistic quality of works such as Stravinsky’s Sacre du Printemps or Prokofieff’s Zdravitsa and the antihumanistic or totalitarian messages they convey. Russian Music at Home and Abroad addresses these concerns in a personal and critical way, characteristically demonstrating Taruskin’s authority and ability to bring living history out of the shadows.

Art as experience of the living body / L’art comme experience du corps vivant
Author: Christine Vial KayserPublisher: Vernon Press
ISBN: 1648898416
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 793
Book Description
This book analyses the dynamic relationship between art and subjective consciousness, following a phenomenological, pragmatist and enactive approach. It brings out a new approach to the role of the body in art, not as a speculative object or symbolic material but as the living source of the imaginary. It contains theoretical contributions and case studies taken from various artistic practices (visual art, theatre, literature and music), Western and Eastern, the latter concerning China, India and Japan. These contributions allow us to nourish the debate on embodied cognition and aesthetics, using theory–philosophy, art history, neuroscience–and the authors’ personal experience as artists or spectators. According to the Husserlian method of “reduction” and pragmatist introspection, they postulate that listening to bodily sensations–cramps, heartbeats, impulsive movements, eye orientation–can unravel the thread of subconscious experience, both active and affective, that emerge in the encounter between a subject and an artwork, an encounter which, following John Dewey, we deem to be a case study for life in general. Ce livre analyse la relation dynamique entre l’art et la conscience subjective, selon une approche phénoménologique, pragmatiste et enactive. Il vise à faire émerger une nouvelle approche du rôle du corps dans l’art, non pas comme objet spéculatif ou matériau symbolique, mais comme source vivante de l’imaginaire. Les contributions théoriques et les études de cas sont prises à diverses pratiques artistiques (arts visuels, théâtre, littérature et musique), occidentales et orientales, ces dernières concernant la Chine, l’Inde et le Japon. Selon la méthode husserlienne de « réduction », en écho à l’introspection pragmatiste, les textes témoignent que l’écoute des sensations corporelles – crampes, battements de cœur, mouvements pulsionnels, orientation des yeux – mises en jeu par l’œuvre, permet de dénouer le fil de l’expérience inconsciente, à la fois kinesthésique et affective, qui émerge dans la rencontre entre un sujet et une œuvre d’art, une rencontre comprise, à la manière de Dewey, comme un cas d’école de la vie en général.
