NuMuzArt: an original, multi-sensory, creative experience

NuMuzArt grew from a small seed planted in my brain over the summer of 2014, when I attended a few summer composition programs to experience and learn more about my compositional craft. While at the Charlotte Music Festival, I participated in a conversation about the sterile nature of music recitals in the academic and concert music world. This conversation stuck with me and became a no-brainer subject for my honors thesis. I would research the concert music world and construct an alternative which would solve a few of my personal vendettas against the standard recital format, while retaining a “serious about music” quality, that is to say, keeping the event something that those readily immersed in the fine arts atmosphere could still appreciate

Pengaruh Expressive Arts Therapy terhadap Self-Acceptance Narapidana Kasus Narkoba

Drug abuse is a serious problem in many countries, including Indonesia. Drug convicts have a high risk of experiencing mental health problems and difficulties in accepting themselves, which can affect the rehabilitation process. Expressive arts therapy has been used as an additional therapy to improve individual mental well-being and can be an alternative choice to increase self-acceptance. This study aims to evaluate the impact of expressive arts therapy on the level of self-acceptance of prisoners who experience drug cases. Expressive arts therapy includes aspects of self-expression that can trigger positive emotions, reduce stress, and indirectly increase self-acceptance. This therapy is carried out in groups to strengthen social support, which is a key factor in increasing self-acceptance according to Ryff (2005). This study used a pretest posttest control group design with the participation of 50 drug convicts (25 participants as an experimental group and 25 participants as a control group). This study also used an adapted self-acceptance scale as a measurement instrument. Data analysis was performed using the t test using SPSS software version 22.0. The results show that there is an effect of expressive arts therapy on self-acceptance as indicated by the t test result of 0.034. Furthermore, based on the effectiveness test using the Cohen formula, it is known that expressive arts therapy has a role in the medium or medium category to increase self-acceptance in drug case convicts with an effect size score of 0.6. As a recommendation expressive arts therapy can be an effective alternative therapy to help drug convicts in their recovery process

Comportamiento del consumo máximo de oxígeno durante el desentrenamiento deportivo en baloncestistas retirados del deporte de alto rendimiento

The study focuses on sports training and is aimed at assessing the behavior of the variable maximum oxygen consumption during this stage of sports life, as an element of relevance for basketball players retired from high performance sport. These demand readjustments in the organic, physical and psychological components, tempered to the new demands of the context. For this, a quasi-experiment was carried out in two groups: a control group and an experimental group, to whom the 2000m race test was applied at two times during the detraining to assess aerobic work capacity by applying tokmakiddis formula.El estudio se centra en el desentrenamiento deportivo y está encaminado a valorar el comportamiento de la variable consumo máximo de oxígeno durante esta etapa de la vida deportiva, como elemento de pertinencia para los baloncestistas retirados del deporte de alto rendimiento. Estos demandan readaptaciones en los componentes orgánico, físico y psicológico, atemperadas a las nuevas exigencias del contexto. Para ello se realizó un cuasi-experimento en dos grupos: un grupo control y otro experimental, a quienes se les aplicó en dos momentos durante el desentrenamiento la prueba de carrera sobre 2000m para evaluar capacidad de trabajo aerobio aplicando fórmula de tokmakiddis
