Whose "Power of Music"? Questioning and Problematizing aspects of Language and Power in Music Therapy Practice within Mainstream Primary Schools in the UK

Music therapists have long worked in specialist and mainstream school settings and their practice, therefore, has been influenced by discourse used in both education and therapy. Parts of the discourse from both fields tends to pathologize children and focus on individual problems and treatment. In the same space, critical frameworks seek to challenge this by advocating for language and practice that is inclusive and context sensitive. By focusing on the complex nature of a mainstream setting, this article will highlight how music therapy practice might serve to strengthen or challenge deficit-based discourse around children within their school environments. I propose that, within school communities, there is much to be learned from paying closer attention to people's voices and expertise regarding their own practices and knowledge of both music and health. By illustrating day-to-day school life, I reflect on how particular approaches, choices of language and practice might impact how music is experienced and how this relates to health and wellbeing.

6.P. Skills building seminar: Children and young people: engaging the unheard stakeholder

Abstract Global shocks from the COVID 19 pandemic have disproportionately impacted children and young people (CYP) and their families. Underlying health disparities have widened as a result of disruptions to healthcare, education and economic impacts. There are compelling arguments to engage children and young people in rebuilding society and systems from emerging public health threats including the covid 19 pandemic, the climate crisis and conflicts. Children and young people like others in society have a right to be involved in decisions that impact their lives and health but are too often unheard. Engaging those affected most by health policy ensures relevance and can improve adoption of interventions. Involving children and young people in strategic decision making can also improve their citizenship skills and improve health literacy. Although many children and young people have contributed to debates and publicly demonstrated their collective views on a variety of issues such as climate change, movements including #timesup, #Blacklivesmatter and #Metoo, their voices are seldom heard in policy and decision making arenas. In 2021, EUPHA CAPH and EUPHANxt sections collaborated to host the inaugural Engaging the Unheard Stakeholder workshop, supporting 2 young people aged <25 to attend the EPH and lead the workshop. (links). CAPH is now committed to make this a regular feature as part of our action plan to support young voices in public health. Learning outcomes • Develop insight into innovative ways to support and engage young people in public health policy making. • Practise advocacy skills to facilitate young people's voices in research & policy Activities Participants will hear from young people who are championing activism or have been involved in shaping public policy. Interactive skills building breakout session involving role play and scenarios to challenge their unconscious bias and learn skills as ‘active bystanders’ to empower young people Key messages • Despite major movements where children and young people have demonstrated their views on a variety of issues such as climate change, their voices are seldom heard in policy and decision making arenas. • Public health professionals can advocate, support and engage children and young people in public health policy making but lack awareness and skills in advocacy to do this effectively.

Transnational Solidarities and Competing Visions of Europe: Vienna's Vote on the Russo‐Japanese War

AbstractThe 1904–05 Russo‐Japanese War is commonly described as a clash between a European power (Russia) and an Asian one (Japan). This binary framing is problematic, however, as ideas of Europeanness and Asianness were hotly contested during the war. Both Russia and Japan laid claim to being more European than the other, based on competing notions of racial and ideological kinship. The Russo‐Japanese War instantaneously became a first‐rate media event that galvanised audiences worldwide, prompting them to take sides with one or the other of the belligerents. This article examines reactions to the war in the public sphere of Vienna in neutral Austria‐Hungary. It focusses especially on an opinion survey launched by the popular newspaper Illustrirtes Wiener Extrablatt in late February 1904, which attracted more than 12,000 responses and resulted in a narrow victory for Japan. The survey provides us with a valuable sample of ordinary people's voices on the war and reveals that Viennese society was deeply split between solidarity with Russia and with Japan, reflecting the contested socio‐political situation in the city and in the Austro‐Hungarian Empire as a whole. While supporters of Russia excluded Japan from a racially, religiously and geographically defined vision of Europe, supporters of Japan often envisioned a community of civilisation, freedom and justice, which excluded Russia and included Japan. Additionally, competing racisms against ‘yellow’ Japan and Slav Russia reveal substantial disagreement about whether Japan or Russia should be regarded as Europe's Other.

Misguided and Modest: Reflections of Our Youth Voice Research.

In recent years, Physical Education (PE) has seen a growth in the commitment to youth voice research. This approach foregrounds the practice of researching with young people, rather than conducting research on or about them. Whilst we are cognisant of the many possibilities youth voice research offers, we are also concerned that there is a tendency to overlook the challenges of supporting youth voice activities. This paper draws on our collective reflections to bring to the fore some of the complexities we have encountered when attempting to engage in school-based youth voice research. We explore the following questions: How can youth voice research engage with different young people to capture a diversity of voices? What are the challenges of undertaking youth voice research? What are the possibilities of change through youth voice research? We consider these questions by drawing upon four principles of student voice work including communication as dialogue, participation and democratic inclusivity, unequal power relations, and change and transformation. We use these principles to critique our own research and, in doing so, draw on entries from our research diaries. The paper questions whether young people need help to share their insights and experiences about PE, or whether it is us - researchers, teachers and schools - who need help to more readily recognize and be attentive to young people's voices. We also point to the importance of recognizing modest change through youth voice research and the need to secure adult allies to support activities and potential outcomes. Engaging in youth voice research is an immersive and messy encounter that involves navigating a journey that is anything but straightforward. Even though this is the case, our moral and ethical compass continues to point us in this direction and we remain firm advocates of youth voice work. This paper offers a starting point for others to begin to grapple with the pitfalls and possibilities when supporting youth voice research.

The Voice of Morality: The Two-Way Relationship Between the Beauty of Voice and Moral Goodness

Morality is a point of great concern to us in our social interactions. We also assess people's morality based on a variety of external factors. Research has found that the beauty of faces can influence people's moral assessments, and that moral assessments can in turn influence our judgments about the beauty of faces. In real life, the voice is a very important communication mediu. People can gain knowledge of individuals through their voices. However, the relationship between voice beauty and moral goodness has never been investigated. So, the present study investigated the two-way relationship between voice beauty and moral goodness traits during impression formation. We collected empirical data from 32 college students in China followed the impression formation paradigm in Experiment 1 and collected empirical data from 32 college students in China followed moral priming paradigm. The results of Experiment 1 showed that high attractive voices were more likely to be judged to have higher moral goodness levels. Conversely, the results of Experiment 2 showed that the moral priming condition revealed a higher score for the voice than the immoral condition. The results showed that the bidirectional validation of voice beauty-moral goodness was significant, that is, participants tend to rate high attractive voices with higher moral goodness levels, and rate moral people's voices with higher beauty. Based on these results, we found a two-way relationship between the beauty of voice and morality, and once again demonstrated the role of voice in message transmission.

How can advance care planning tools help young people's voices be heard?

The integration of the child or young person (CYP) in conversations around advance care planning (ACP) is an important area of paediatric practice. These discussions provide CYP with the opportunity to voice their values, goals and preferences, enabling health-care professionals to ensure they are aligned with their planned course of treatment. This process, often undertaken within the context of the child's family, empowers children to participate in decisions and experience the dignity of self-determination. It also facilitates an increased understanding between the CYP and those involved in their care. The objectives of this paper are to highlight the importance of these conversations for paediatricians and identify barriers, both real and perceived, that may prevent them from engaging with a CYP about their preferences for future care including focusing more on discussion with the parents, and concern about or not having the skills to engage the child in such sensitive conversations. Triggers that can prompt clinicians to undertake ACP are also discussed. A further complexity is that after seeking their perspective, it may become apparent that the CYP may hold different views and perspectives to their parents and/or clinician. This review article will especially examine elements of end-of-life conversations that are critical to support the important goal of listening to the voice of the CYP. This includes considerations around timing, legal aspects, ethical tensions that arise when amplifying a child's voice, clinician/team-member roles, clinical process considerations, and the use of specific interventions and ACP tools to facilitate these conversations with CYP.

Using cocreated visually informed community mental health education in low- and middle-income countries: A case study of youth substance misuse in Assam, India.

IntroductionOur aim is to evaluate the visually informed community mental health education materials cocreated in our research on youth substance misuse in Assam, India, and to reflect on what we might learn for similar initiatives in low‐ and middle‐income countries.MethodsMaterials consist of: (i) images participants brought to the interview; (ii) 30 posters cocreated by participants to convey key messages from their interview; (iii) six short films on the implications of addiction, and (iv) an animation of our Pathways to Recovery model. We also created a community education package that incorporated these materials. We analyse feedback from three groups of events and a social media campaign, which drew variably across our materials and engaged a range of audiences.ResultsOutcomes indicate the cocreation process and focus on the visual was successful in promoting young people's voice, increasing awareness and has potential for stigma reduction. Our educational package was deemed useful in increasing awareness and has potential for prevention and treatment.ConclusionsOur case study offers insights into community mental health education in low‐ and middle‐income countries, confirming the importance of cocreation, the usefulness of visual materials and the potential of social media campaigns while acknowledging the importance of local context in health messaging, particularly for stigmatized topics.Patient or Public ContributionService users were involved in the cocreation of the materials evaluated in this study and contributed as presenters in one of the events reported. Members of the public took part in events in which the materials were shared and provided us with the feedback analysed in this article.

The Impact of Money Politic in the Local Elections in Indonesia

Indonesia is a state of law. In essence, everyone must follow the existing rules. It started off well small to large. Likewise, what is meant by the Indonesian state is a democratic country where the center of power is in the hands of the people. Elections are a form of progress to prioritize the community and create leaders with a high sense of unity and justice. Overall, elections are a sign of supreme power in the hands of the people. Through elections, the assertion of national power can be achieved with some of the powers and rights of the public over representatives of the government and parliament. But in fact, violations often occur both in the Pilkada process and in parliamentary elections. These violations included fraudulent campaign activities in the form of donations of money and goods to tempt the public to vote for a candidate during the election. In a democracy, the development of money politics slowly undermines the principle, because the people's voice can be redeemed with money.

Supporting Well-Being in Gender-Diverse People: A Tutorial for Implementing Conceptual and Practical Shifts Toward Culturally Responsive, Person-Centered Care in Speech-Language Pathology.

Gender dysphoria is commonly conceptualized as a mental disorder in gender-diverse people who do not identify with the gender assigned to them at birth. Direct support for well-being tends to be delegated to the field of mental health (MH), whereas speech-language pathology (SLP) practice is charged with modifying gender-diverse people's voice and communication in the belief that well-being will improve as a byproduct. However, with the introduction of the minority stress model, gender dysphoria is now understood as the result of sociocultural processes of stigmatization, pathologization, coping, and resilience, and it is to be addressed by all professions providing transgender health services. The purposes of this tutorial are to examine practices in SLP in light of the current conceptualization of gender dysphoria and guide speech-language pathologists in their role in supporting the well-being of gender-diverse people. We reviewed the SLP and MH literature in the topic area to compare the two disciplines' conceptualizations and approaches to professional support for gender-diverse people. We propose a transdisciplinary, person-centered, and culturally responsive approach to SLP practice that directly attends to minority stress, microaggressions, coping skills, and resilience factors. It is not sufficient for speech-language pathologists to delegate support for well-being in gender-diverse people to MH practitioners. Rather, speech-language pathologists need to be proactive in taking responsibility for supporting their clients' well-being based on each individual clinician's knowledge, skills, and capacity to do so. We recommend addressing barriers and facilitators of gender-diverse people's well-being both within SLP as a professional culture and by adapting the clinician's own professional practice.

Mechanisms and contextual influences on the implementation of advance care planning for older people in long-term care facilities: A realist review

BackgroundOlder people in long-term care facilities face clinical uncertainty and unpredictable decline. Advance care planning enables older people to identify preferences and wishes for future treatment and care before any loss of capacity. However, it is unclear how, why and under what circumstances the implementation of advance care planning for older people can be normalised into routine practice within long-term care facilities. ObjectiveTo identify and explain mechanisms and contextual factors that underpin the implementation of advance care planning for older people in long-term care facilities. DesignRealist review. Setting(s)Long-term care facilities. MethodsConsistent with realist review methodology, we developed the initial programme theory by scoping reviews, engaging UK and China stakeholders and utilising the Normalisation Process Theory. MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Scopus were subsequently searched from 01/01/1990 to 11/06/2021. Inductive and deductive coding was used to generate context-mechanism-outcome configurations, which were iteratively tested to refine the programme theory. Results5459 records were identified, and 48 were retained for final synthesis. Seven context-mechanism-outcome configurations were identified: (1) carry out sensitive conversation gradually in a nonthreatening way; (2) identify ‘a window of opportunity’; (3) deliver sustainable and available training; (4) build a collaborative and multidisciplinary network; (5) conduct collaborative negotiation to achieve shared decision-making; (6) secure active leadership buy-in; (7) keep conversation and documentation on track. A logic model was developed to conceptualise the causal pathways between the contexts, mechanisms, and outcomes. ConclusionsNormalising conversations about death is paramount to mainstreaming advance care planning implementation in long-term care facilities. The key to achieving this is older people, family members and staff have a shared understanding of the aims, values, and potential benefits of advance care planning. Advance care planning should be introduced at a time that is important to older people and families, rather than being process-driven. Nurse facilitators play a vital role in ensuring older people's voices are heard and in building bridges between participants in advance care planning. The findings of this study inform the appropriate development and evaluation of advance care planning interventions for older people in long-term care facilities. Further research is needed to explore mechanisms that underpin the implementation of advance care planning in Asian countries. RegistrationThis review is registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42021214317).

The Construction Law System and Purification of Limitation from Bawaslu’s Authority

The aim of this research is analize Article 1 number 17 of Act No. 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections on the General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) as an election supervisory agency oriented towards monitoring the 'validity of the people's voice' and despite gaining strong legitimacy based on existing regulations. However, Bawaslu has several obstacles, including the issue of the enigma of Bawaslu's authority to give decisions related to the post-constitutional election decision from the Constitutional Court. This research methods was legal research using a conceptual approach and legislation based on three types of legal materials, namely primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and non-legal materials. The results of this legal research show that when viewed from the aspect of structure, substance, and legal culture; the expansion of Bawaslu's authority has the potential to make Bawaslu less than optimal as well as to create overlapping powers between law enforcers; therefore, the aspects of professionalism and leadership must support it. In addition, the purification of the authority of Bawaslu is essential to optimize the duties and authorities of Bawaslu so that Bawaslu does not need to focus on expanding its authority.

Correlation of Voice Handicap Index 10 with Reflux Symptom Index and Reflux Finding Score in Patients with Dysphonia

Background. Voice disturbance occurs when the quality, pitch, loudness, or flexibility of other people's voices differ according to age, gender, and similar cultural groups. The Voice Handicap Index (VHI) is one of the most widely used tools worldwide to measure the physical, functional, and emotional aspects of voice disorders. This study aims to determine the correlation of voice handicap index-10 with reflux symptom index and reflux finding scores in patients with dysphonia complaints at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang.
 Methods. This study is a cross-sectional study using a correlation test design that aims to determine the correlation between VHI-10 and RSI and RFS in patients with dysphonia complaints.
 Results. The sample of this study includes the demographic factors of the research subjects, namely age, gender, and occupation. This study shows that patients with RFS ≥ 7 affect the VHI-10 score ≥ 11 with a proportion of 72%.
 Conclusion. There is a moderate positive correlation between the RFS score and the VHI-10 score, where the higher the RFS value, the higher the VHI-10 score in patients with dysphonic complaints.

Want to improve school mental health interventions? Ask young people what they actually think

Abstract As part of the recent ‘therapeutic turn’ in education, schools are now commonly seen as a place for mental health guidance and support. This often involves interventions—special curricula of lessons or activities (e.g. counselling sessions), which aim to either prevent mental health problems or manage those that have already started. Running these interventions in schools makes good sense: rates of mental health problems in young people are rising, and large numbers can be reached in this setting. However, evidence for the effectiveness of such interventions has been mixed. One way to improve how helpful and useful they are, we argue here, would be to ask young people themselves what they think about these programmes. This involves collecting qualitative data: gathering in-depth information about young people's experiences and opinions, rather than relying solely on numerical data, such as rating scales. The small number of existing published qualitative studies in this area show that many young people do find these interventions helpful, but there are issues that warrant careful attention. For example, some young people can feel worried or vulnerable during classroom-based exercises, and others don't see how the interventions are relevant for their own lives. Here, we explore this literature and recommend two avenues for future work: ask more young people what they think of existing interventions, and get them involved in the design of new ones. Together, this will put young people's voices at the heart of school-based mental health interventions.

Explanation of Executive Model of IRIB News in Crisis Management

INTRODUCTION: Due to the vulnerability of the country to various disasters and events, the role of directing public opinion, and the attention of the general public and political elites to Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), the present study aimed to obtain and explain an executive model of IRIB news in crisis management. METHODS: This study was conducted based on an applied research method in terms of objective, and it is qualitative research using an exploratory approach in terms of method. The statistical population consisted of experts, managers, and professors of media and crisis (Crescent Society and Crisis Management Organization). The data were collected using a semi-structured in-depth interview technique, and a saturation was observed using a targeted sampling and after 25 interviews. In addition, the Strauss method in grounded theory was applied to analyze the data. Moreover, in the process of theory analysis, MAXQDA (version 2020) was applied, and a total of 120 concepts and 20 categories were identified. FINDINGS: Some categories, such as the unprofessional nature of media, unprofessional coverage of news, biased news organization, lack of media independence, public distrust, and tendency toward alternative media, are the requirements for explaining an executive model of news in crisis management, which are axially coded as causal conditions. In addition, appropriate news coverage, information, analytical programs, people's voice, crisis management principles and organization, education and informing, and culturalization, were the seven main categories selected as the main strategies to develop the model. CONCLUSION: Some categories, such as the improvement of media performance, de-escalation instead of crisis-making, rumor prevention, obtainment of public trust, accountability of officials, organizing and mobilizing human forces, social cohesion, increasing resilience, as well as reconstruction and rehabilitation, are of the consequences of using appropriate strategies to explain IRIB news in crisis management.

The Comprehensive Analysis Speech Recognition System

Automated computer speech detection has been a goal of research for almost four decades. The idea underlying the development of a voice recognition system is that it is beneficial for people to communicate with a computer, robot or another device via speech. Researchers want to utilize people's voices in an integrated environment to provide customers comfort and flexibility in today's era. Speech recognition is dependent on the input voice signal. It enables the computer to transform the voice signal to text or instructions using the technique of recognition and understanding. This article describes the fundamental concept of speaking recognition, types of voice recognition, difficulties with speech recognition, several ways to gather characteristics, and different pattern-matching algorithms to identify the different speakers. The technology of voice recognition is inspired by a wide vocabulary automated speech recognition system which allows languageindependent operation and continuous speaking in a foreign language.

Tindak Pidana Politik Uang di Indonesia Pada Saat Pemilu Perspektif Fiqh Jinayah dan Hukum Positif

Elections are important in a democracy that adheres to a representative system to determine a state leader, especially Indonesia, whose leadership system is presidential or also known as the congressional system. The function of elections is to act as a filter for "politicians" who will represent and bring the people's voice in representative institutions, those who are elected are considered as people or groups who have the ability or obligation to speak and act on behalf of a larger group through parties. politics (political parties). Therefore, the existence of political parties is a must in modern democratic political life. Gifts that come from state officials are no stranger to whether it be in the form of financial or goods assistance, one of the goals is none other than imaging, which is done openly in order to give a good image in front of the general public. The issue of money politics always appears in democratic events. Both at the village, district, city, provincial, and national levels. The emergence of money politics is due to the fact that people are still tolerant and permissive of money politics. The public considers money politics as a sustenance that cannot be denied, as an addition to daily needs, as a cost or compensation for the contestants. Because on election day they do not work, go to the fields, or the fields. So that money politics is considered as an opportunity to get fortune.

The Institutionalization of e-Democracy: Challenges, Risks and Future Directions in an Indian Context

This conceptual paper attempts to understand the necessity of intertwining Democracy and e-Democracy for the success of institutionalization of e-Democracy. In this respect, it proposes the "Four-Forces Framework of Democracy" and their Drivers. The paper also explores the challenges that e-Democracy may face in its growth and evolution, highlights the risks involved in ignoring the challenges, and suggests the future direction. In the present scenario, there is a considerable push for Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The paper discusses whether this will lead to the strengthening of people's voice and empowerment of the individual and collective aspirations. Societies in their evolution develop cultural contexts, social and ethnic values. It is a challenge for any e-Democracy to integrate them into its mechanisms. In the Indian context, it is essential to develop foresight on how e-Democracy gears-up to also address various contradictions and conflicts, which are possible due to the digital-divide, multitude of people's aspirations, socio-cultural diversity, space for democratic thinking, etc. Keeping many aspects of Democracy and governance into consideration, the paper focuses on how ICT and e-Democracy will honour people's aspirations in the coming years, to keep the public, individual, and society, vibrant and democratically functioning.

“It's just so important that people's voices are heard”: The dementia associate panel

Including the views and experiences of people living with dementia in research and wider decision making is vital. The impact for the subjective wellbeing of its members of an approach known as The Dementia Associate Panel (DAP) is explored. The panel, based on a social citizenship model, aimed to provide a platform to work with and hear the voices of people living with dementia in a region of England. A mixed method approach using semi-structured interviews, self-report questionnaires, and focus groups was adopted. There were 16 participants; six people living with dementia and ten care partners. Participant motivations to join the panel were based on a desire for individuals' voices and experiences to be heard. Following participation in the panel, participants reported experiencing belonging and purpose.Collective and personal contributions to the development of local health and care policies, education provision, research studies, and to raising general public awareness about dementia was beneficial to reported participant wellbeing. The DAP model has the potential to be developed and adapted when working with people living with dementia in different settings; at national or regional levels across the globe.
