It combines • current technologies with some new concepts about how we spend our time indoors. Our relationship with the outdoors and the indoors is currently contrasting - but with reason. • . They are two separate places in our day, and we spend on average about 90% of that day • indoors. We, for the most part, believe that we cannot exist in or enjoy the benefits of either • concurrently. The attributes of nature itself (outdoors) is held as a highly therapeutic • benefit or value. The act of experiencing nature is to many therapeutic and associated with • being healthy. This product will hopefully address the lack of control we have in our indoor environments - as well as explore some ways that natural environmental rhthyms affect our •." daily lives. We experience our environment through our five senses. Being indoors shields us • from the sensory feast that is the outdoors. This is most often with purpose. Being inside • provides us with temperature control, light level "control, cleanliness, privacy, comfort and so • on - yet there may be those who desire more control, or elements of both environments

The origin of this thesis is, like many others before it, born from a sense of disjuncture between what I heard about something, and what I experienced of it. The ‘something’ in question is what is increasingly, and I believe somewhat erroneously, termed as ‘new audio culture’. By this I refer to all scholarly and popular talk and activity concerning iPods, MP3s, headphones, and podcasts: everything which we may understand as being tethered to an older history of audio-media, yet which is more often defined almost exclusively by its digital parameters.

    Digital Rights Management: Towards a Balance between Copyright Rights and Fair Use Exceptions. Christian Bonnici Technical Report RHUL-MA-2009-08 16th February 2009 Royal Holloway University of London Department of Mathematics Royal Holloway, University of London Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX, England http://www.rhul.ac.uk/mathematics/techreports Acknowledgements I express my sincere gratitude to Prof. Dr. Keith Martin, my project supervisor, for his valuable advices and support throughout this MSc and especially during the project period. A special thanks also the course director, Chez Ciechanowicz, for his encouragement and help during the MSc, and Dr. Robert Carolina for his early guidance on the project topic. Thanks to my parents Joseph and Liberata for their continuous support and blessings. Last but not least, to all my friends for the friendship and support shared during and beyond this MSc. 2 Executive Summary There have been several attempts pointing towards DRM schemes that better satisfy Fair Use requirements [1, 2, 3, 4]; this project explores a new approach. Based on the idealistic premise that by mimicking the physical properties that prevented piracy in the pre-MP3 world into a post-MP3 world DRM scheme it should be possible to establish a copyright infringement control paradigm that is acceptable to all; this project establishes a Fair Use friendly DRM Scheme. It has been found that for a DRM scheme to be Fair Use friendly it has to aim to reach the following idealistic characteristics: • The copyright holders should not be able to interfere with usage which a judge would or could rule as fair use.

  • Can You Download Itunes on Android Phones
    can you download itunes on android phones Can I play music from iTunes on an Android phone? (reader mail) Kim writes: I am debating whether to move from my beloved iPhone to Android as it’s time to upgrade. Can still use music I bought on iTunes with an Android phone? Also, I bought TomTom’s satellite navigation app for my iPhone at a staggering $40 and I assume that I can’t use that, either. Have you any advice? Hi Kim! Well, I’ve got good news and bad news for you. The good news: yes, you should be able to transfer most—but, potentially, not all—of your iTunes music to your Android phone. The bad news: nope, your old iPhone apps won’t play nice with Android. First, let’s tackle your tunes—and specifically, why some of the tracks you bought on iTunes might not work on an Android phone. Until just a few years ago, Apple only sold copy-protected music on iTunes, and those DRM-protected tunes (“DRM” stands for “digital rights management,” by the way) will only play on devices (like your Mac, PC, or iPhone) that are authorized by your iTunes Store account. Starting in 2009, Apple reversed course and began selling “DRM-free” (or “iTunes Plus“) tracks on iTunes that will play on practically any digital music player—including, yes, Android phones. What does that mean to you? Well, if you bought any music on iTunes prior to 2009, there’s a chance you still may have some copy-protected music in your iTunes library.

  • The Effects of Music on Pain: a Review of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis
    THE EFFECTS OF MUSIC ON PAIN: A REVIEW OF SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS AND META-ANALYSIS A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Jin-Hyung Lee May, 2015 Examining Committee Members: Cheryl Dileo, Advisory Chair, Music Therapy Wendy Magee, Music Therapy Joseph Ducette, Educational Psychology Deborah Confredo, Music Education ii © Copyright 2015 By Jin-Hyung Lee All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was twofold: to critically review existing systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the topic of music and pain; and to systematically review and conduct a meta-analysis of clinical trials investigating the effect of music on pain encompassing a wide range of medical diagnoses, settings, age groups, and types of pain. For the review of systematic reviews, the author conducted a comprehensive search and identified 14 systematic reviews and meta-analyses. These studies were critically analyzed to present a comprehensive overview of findings, to evaluate methodological quality of the reviews, to determine issues or gaps in the literature, and to generate research questions for the following meta-analysis. For the meta-analysis, the author conducted electronic searches of 12 databases and a handsearch of related journals and reference lists of relevant systematic reviews, with partial restrictions on design (i.e., randomized controlled trials); language (i.e., English, German, Korean, and Japanese); year of publication (i.e., 1995 to 2014) and intervention (i.e., music therapy and music medicine). Analyzed studies included 87 music medicine (MM) and 10 music therapy (MT) trials; eighty-nine of the included studies involved adults and eight trials focused on children.

  • Itunes, INTEROPERABILITY, and FRANCE's Dadvsi LAW by Deanasobel
    A BITE OUT OF APPLE? iTUNES, INTEROPERABILITY, AND FRANCE'S DADvsI LAW By DeanaSobel In the nearly ten years since computer software companies and content owners lobbied Congress for statutory protection against digital piracy, leading to the enactment of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in the United States, the role of technical protection measures (TPMs) in protecting digital media has developed into a globally contested issue. Traditionally, content providers regarded TPMs as a fail-safe system for protecting digital content. Both the DMCA and the 2001 European Un- ion Copyright Directive (EUCD), which harmonizes digital copyright law in Europe, recognize the importance of anti-circumvention legislation in stimulating the global digital marketplace. 1 Their theory is that safeguard- ing TPMs cultivates the digital marketplace by creating an incentive for companies to develop new products. Yet the role of governments in limit- ing the reach of TPMs is inchoate. For this reason, companies have been given free reign to use TPMs that not only prevent digital piracy, but also restrict how consumers use their products. This restriction has created con- troversy in Europe and beyond. In August of 2006, in order to implement the EUCD, France passed the "Law on Copyright and Neighboring Rights in the Information Socie- ty" known as Dadvsi.2 Under this law, individuals may now petition the government to compel the disclosure of TPM source code in order to per- mit product interoperability. Parallel to the enactment of Dadvsi, French, Scandinavian, German, and Dutch consumer groups have waged a cam- paign against Apple, creator of iTunes software and the iPod portable mu- sic player.

  • My Podcatching Setup
    My Podcatching Setup. For a while now I've been blogging, podcasting and twittering about my podcatching setup. Being the proud owner of some variation of Ipod over the last 7 years, one would say that the entire process would be delightfully simple and lack any complexity since its "Apple all the way". But nothing could be further from the truth, since I am a cross-platform, multi-os, multi location slider that hops around from device to device, from Lan to Wan. I switch operating systems faster then a compulsive clean freak switches underwear. Add the fact that I love to have "my technology work for me" and you have a recipe for "walled apple garden" disaster. One of the things I despise from the bottom of my heart is having to "hook up a cable" to a device that is completely capable of communicating via Wifi (or even 3G) to the rest of the planet and beyond, but that needs to tether to my imac, which is only 2 feet away. For years i've hated to get up in the morning, fire up the imac, download my podcasts (trapped in Itunes) wait for them to come in and sync them over by hand. So lately I have been looking for other solutions. Solutions that allow me to that meet the following requirements. An application (preferably compatible with Ubuntu) that downloads my podcast subscriptions. Downloads and updates of podcasts need to be done automatically. Application needs to erase old and stale podcasts automatically. I must be able to remote control my subscriptions (preferably via the web, the command line or via remote desktop) Podcasts must be stored in a format that is accessible via my entire network (via Samba or Streaming) A Podcast Player.

Shahid, Consultant Pediatrician and Neonatologist, Shahid Clinic, Ghatkopar (East), Mumbai-400 077. MH. India. Phone: 0091-9869036606, Email: [email protected] Abstract Sound remains largely under-evaluated in the field of therapeutic medicine. It produces the desired changes both by the sound as well as the vibrational energy. Various modes have been used to deliver the energy to the individual. But studies on use of sound therapy in adults and children are limited and of poor design. In children, it has been tested in various conditions such as autism, developmental delays, in neonatal intensive care units on preterm babies, during MRI to lessen the anxiety and use of GA and sedatives, in ADHD, in pediatric cardiac care units, in childhood asthma, in emergency room patients, in chronic pain, neurological disabilities, and in troubled adolescents with substance abuse or neurotic disorders. The outcomes have been generally positive. But more large-scale and properly-designed comparative studies would be required before the low cost technology and safe sound therapy could be incorporated in the therapeutic armamentarium in children. Keywords: Children, Pediatric care, Sound therapy. respectively [4]. Thus sound is an oscillation and is propagated INTRODUCTION as a wave motion in an elastic media or air. It vibrates the media and the latter shows pressure, particle displacement, and Sound is a vibroacoustic wave with diagnostic and therapeutic velocity variations.

Abstract Background: Despite the development of pediatric post-operative pain management and use of analgesic/narcotic drugs, post-operative pain remains as a common problem. Some studies suggested, the most effective approach to controlling immediate post-operative pain may include a combination of drug agents and non-drug methods. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of music therapy on the acute post-operative pain in Iranian children. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental, repeated measure design was used. In this study, 63 children were placed in the music and control groups. In the music group, pain intensity was measured before start intervention (baseline). Then, this group listened to two non-speech music for 20 minutes. Then, pain intensity was measured with numeric rating scale, immediately after intervention, 1 hour, 3 hours and 6 hours after intervention, respectively. Also, in the control group, pain intensity was measured in times similar to music group. Results: The mean of pain intensity did not significantly different between the 2 groups at baseline (P>0.05). The results of repeated measure ANOVA showed that, trend of pain intensity between 2 groups was significant (P<0.05), so that pain intensity in the music group had more decrease than control group.
