EEG Hyperscanning and Qualitative Analysis of Moments of Interest in Music Therapy for Stroke Rehabilitation—A Feasibility Study

Interdisciplinary research into the underlying neural processes of music therapy (MT) and subjective experiences of patients and therapists are largely lacking. The aim of the current study was to assess the feasibility of newly developed procedures (including electroencephalography/electrocardiography hyperscanning, synchronous audio–video monitoring, and qualitative interviews) to study the personal experiences and neuronal dynamics of moments of interest during MT with stroke survivors. The feasibility of our mobile setup and procedures as well as their clinical implementation in a rehabilitation centre and an acute hospital ward were tested with four phase C patients. Protocols and interviews were used for the documentation and analysis of the feasibility. Recruiting patients for MT sessions was feasible, although data collection on three consecutive weeks was not always possible due to organisational constraints, especially in the hospital with acute ward routines. Research procedures were successfully implemented, and according to interviews, none of the patients reported any burden, tiredness, or increased stress due to the research procedures, which lasted approx. 3 h (ranging from 135 min to 209 min) for each patient. Implementing the research procedures in a rehabilitation unit with stroke patients was feasible, and only small adaptations were made for further research

práticas artísticas no ensino básico e secundário

A Educação Artística joga-se em muito mais locais que no ensino formal. As oportunidades formativas têm sido aproveitadas por museus, bibliotecas, centros culturais, exposições, festivais, associações e plataformas culturais, eventos, plataformas de disseminação artística, edições. Os artistas individuais têm vindo a integrar as dinâmicas relacionais e de criação de públicos nas suas obras, ao convocarem as audiências e implicarem o espectador. O terreno é limitado apenas pela imaginação, e as oportunidades de convocação alargam-se aos novos conteúdos e plataformas digitais, a par com a valorização do que é local e identitário: a revolução pode fazer-se pela cidadania.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Transforming growth factor-β1 induces intestinal myofibroblast differentiation and modulates their migration

AIM: To investigate the effects of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) on the differentiation of colonic lamina propria fibroblasts (CLPF) into myofibroblasts in vitro

Synthetic Core Promoters for <i>Pichia pastoris</i>

Synthetic promoters are commonly used tools for circuit design or high level protein production. Promoter engineering efforts in yeasts, such as <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> and <i>Pichia pastoris</i> have mostly been focused on altering upstream regulatory sequences such as transcription factor binding sites. In higher eukaryotes synthetic core promoters, directly needed for transcription initiation by RNA Polymerase II, have been successfully designed. Here we report the first synthetic yeast core promoter for <i>P. pastoris</i>, based on natural yeast core promoters. Furthermore we used this synthetic core promoter sequence to engineer the core promoter of the natural <i>AOX1</i> promoter, thereby creating a set of core promoters providing a range of different expression levels. As opposed to engineering strategies of the significantly longer entire promoter, such short core promoters can directly be added on a PCR primer facilitating library generation and are sufficient to obtain variable expression yields
