- Effects of a music-based intervention on psychophysiological outcomes of patients undergoing medical imaging procedures: a systematic review and meta-analysisPublication . Vieira, Lina Oliveira; Carvalho, Catarina; Grilo, Ana; Reis, Jaime; Pires, Ana Filipa; Pereira, Edgar; Carolino, Elisabete; Almeida-Silva, MarinaIntroduction: Musical intervention (MI) is a valuable strategy for addressing the psychological and emotional challenges faced by patients undergoing imaging procedures. This study explores MI's impact on psychophysiological outcomes during imaging procedures, detailing the sound repertoire and technical characteristics employed in MI. Methods: A systematic review (SR) and meta-analysis (MA) were conducted. Electronic database searches of PubMed, Web-of-Science, and Scopus were performed encompassing original randomised research and quasi-experimental articles published until June 2023. Results: Thirteen articles were included in this SR, scoring between 23 and 68 on the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Checklist. Four articles were included to perform a MA concerning anxiety and heart rate (HR) outcomes. Most studies utilised digital playlists as the medium for MI. Headphones were commonly used, with an average volume of 50-60 dB and a musical frequency of 60-80 beats/min. While authors generally preferred selecting musical genres for the repertoire, two articles specifically chose Johann Pachelbel's "Canon in D major" as their musical theme. In terms of psychological parameters, the experimental groups exhibited lower anxiety values than the control groups, with further reductions after MI. However, MA shows that this trend is only marginally significant. Patient comfort and overall examination experience showed improvement with MI. Regarding physiological parameters, HR, especially in the final phase of the examination, was significantly lower in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Across multiple studies, MI demonstrated the ability to reduce anxiety and HR. However, no specific music repertoire emerged as the most effective. Implications for practice: MI arises as a painless, reliable, low-cost, and side-effect-free strategy, presenting imaging departments with a practical means to enhance patient comfort and mitigate anxiety and stress during medical procedures.
- Exploring polyphony in spatial patterns in acousmatic musicPublication . Reis, JaimeThe multiplicity of musical practices in Western art music that arose from the technological developments involving the use of electricity applied to music were particularly expressive after the Second World War. Their associated terminologies are varied: musique concrete, Elektronische Musik, acousmatique, cin´ema pour l’oreille, sonic art, among others. For the purpose of this text, their differences will not be tackled, but some of their underlying common characteristics, particularly the use of spatial concepts in acousmatic listening will be discussed. The decision to focus on acousmatic music concepts derives from the fact that most of the mentioned literature and musical concepts are grounded in musical traditions where space is a key element to understand this practice. The focus on many of Annette Vande Gorne’s conceptualizations is not merely for the allusion to her work in the present volume, but rather for her centrality to and legacy within literature and music creation in the acousmatic music world. This text is organized as follows: A theoretical short introduction to the use of space as a parameter in acousmatic music and some of the main perceptive features involved in such practice, followed by a brief description of acousmatic music techniques, such as those presented by Annette Vande Gorne, and their relations to gestures. The final section describes how I have been able in my own music compositions to enhance spatial polyphony through various techniques.
- From art to the sustainability of coasts and seasPublication . Matias, Ana; Carrasco, A. Rita; Pinto, Bruno; Reis, JaimeSustainability is a universal goal by which human development balances social, economic, and environmental dimensions, applicable to both terrestrial and marine environments. Several authors argue that arts are valuable tools to frame and engage with current environmental issues related to sustainability, including pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss. In this work, we ask - what is the role of art in the sustainability of coasts and seas? To address this question, we conducted a systematic literature review about how artistic practices contribute to sustainability in coastal and marine environments. We searched the two most important scientific databases of articles (Scopus and Web of Science) and retrieved 1352 articles. Several screening tasks were made to narrow the articles to 79 studies that address our research question. For each article, we identified and categorised the art form, target audience, geographical location, expected impact, and method to measure the impact. We found a variety of artworks from the four art categories (Literary, Media, Performing, and Visual) around the world, but more frequently in the US, UK, and Australia. In this review, we deal largely with the use of art in local issues, rather than at a global scale. Visual Art is the most frequent art category (~40%), comprising painting, carving, photography, comics, and architecture, amongst others. Nevertheless, there are mentions of 26 artworks from Performing Arts, 22 from Media Arts, and 16 from Literary Arts. We found that different artists address or are inspired by the same sustainability related theme, for example, the ocean’s vulnerability is portrayed in a poem and in a theatre play. Only 19 articles measured the impact of artistic activities on their audience. Engagement is a highlighted pursued impact (~40%); however, other authors also intend to promote marine conservation and restoration, management, education, and activism. Art contributions to sustainability are recurrently made through raising awareness, learning, and promoting engagement and enjoyment of artistic project participants. With this systematic review, we set the current state of knowledge on an emerging topic and argue that further research and new strategies of impact measurement are needed togain a deeper understanding of the role of art on coastal/marine sustainability.
- The role of art in coastal and marine sustainabilityPublication . Matias, Ana; Carrasco, A. Rita; Pinto, Bruno; Reis, JaimeSustainability is a universal goal that requires balancing social, economic and environmental dimensions, and that applies to both terrestrial and marine environments. Several authors argue that arts are valuable tools to frame and engage with current environmental issues related to sustainability, including pollution, climate change and biodiversity loss. Accordingly, our research question is: What is the role of art in the sustainability of coasts and seas? We searched our research question on the two most important scientific databases of articles (Scopus and Web of Science) and retrieved 1,352 articles. We narrowed the articles to 79 studies that actually address our question through screening. The dataset describes a variety of artworks from the four art categories (literary, media, performing and visual) around the world, although the more frequent countries are the US, the UK and Australia. We found that visual arts are more common (~40%), and engagement is a highlighted pursued impact (~40%) by these artistic practices. Other authors also intend to promote marine conservation and restoration, management, education and activism. Only 19 articles of the dataset measured the impact of artistic activities on their audience. This subset shows evidence of art contributions to sustainability mainly through raising awareness, learning, and promoting engagement and enjoyment of project participants. Through this work, we set the current state of knowledge on this emerging topic, and argue that further research and new strategies of impact measurement are needed to thoroughly understand the effect of art on coastal/marine sustainability.
