Polygenic scores for schizophrenia and major depression are associated with psychosocial risk factors in children
BACKGROUND: Whilst genetic and environmental risk factors for schizophrenia (SCZ) and major depressive disorder (MDD) have been established, it is unclear whether exposure to environmental risk factors is genetically confounded by passive, evocative or active gene-environment correlation (rGE). STUDY OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate: (a) whether the genetic risk for SCZ/MDD in children is correlated with established environmental and psy…
Effects of depression on employment and social outcomes
BACKGROUND: Depression is associated with socioeconomic disadvantage. However, whether and how depression exerts a causal effect on employment remains unclear. We used Mendelian randomisation (MR) to investigate whether depression affects employment and related outcomes in the UK Biobank dataset. METHODS: We selected 227 242 working-age participants (40-64 in men, 40-59 years for women) of white British ethnicity/ancestry with suitable genetic da…

Singing and Emotion
In this chapter the authors discuss the emotional power of the singing voice. The chapter begins by providing an overview of the process of externalization of emotions by the human voice. Then, the authors discuss some fundamental determinants of emotional expression in singing, namely the ‘emotional script’, the artistic interpretation, and the singer’s affective state. Next, they describe the manner in which expressed emotions are encoded in th…
Acoustic Correlates of Speech when Under Stress
The aim of this paper is to summarise the acoustical correlates of stress in speech by reviewing relevant empirical studies. Research into speech under stress faces several challenges including the difficulty in defining the concept of stress, limitations in collecting stressed speech experimentally and the problem of quantifying the type and level of stress induced, resulting in very limited comparability between various studies. In summarizing …
Effects of Carrier and Phase on the Pitch of Long-Duration Vibrato Tones
Previous studies on the pitch of long-duration vibrato tones, where the modulator is a symmetric function (e.g. sine or triangular wave) have shown that the pitch perceived corresponds to either the arithmetic or geometric mean fundamental frequency of the vibrato tone. In one study the pitch of a vibrato tone consisting of a square wave modulated by a triangular wave was found to be inexplicably lower than that of a sine wave modulated by a tria…

A Case-Study on the Effects of the Menstrual Cycle and the Use of a Combined Oral Contraceptive Pill on the Performance of a Western Classical Singer
This case study explores the objective and psychologically perceived effects of the menstrual cycle and the use of a combined oral contraceptive pill on the singing performance of a western classical female singer. Objective measures of vocal parameters and hormonal concentrations were assessed during her natural menstrual cycle and during the use of an oral contraceptive pill. A diary was kept throughout the six months duration of the study and …
Mirabel
In this paper, we present the methodology and some results from the application of an integrating conceptual framework, MIRABEL, to analyze the consequences of environmental change for biodiversity. For 28 European countries, MIRABEL tabulates changes in the status of threatened habitats predicted to result from 10 environmental pressures. Regional variations in the severity of the pressures and impacts are taken into account by compiling separat…
Spectrography of disputed speech samples by peripheral human hearing modelling
Visual images have considerable value in freezing rapidly changing speech signals, both for the analysis of disputed speech samples and in the presentation of such material in court. Speech spectrograms are routinely used in speech analysis to examine the speech signal as a whole, prior to a more systematic and directed examination of particular speech characteristics, the forensic significance of which requires forensic phonetic expertise. This …

Eliada (Person)
[Heb ʾelyādā ʿ]. 1. One of 13 sons of David listed as having been born in Jerusalem (1 Chr 3:5–9; 14:3–7; cf. 2 Sam 5:13–16). His mother was among the several wives and concubines whom David took in Jerusalem, but she is not named. His name means “God knows” (2 Sam 5:16 and 1 Chr 3:8). His given nam
Eliphelet (Person)
[Heb ʾĕlîpelet]. Var. ELPELET.1. A son of David (1 Chr 3:6; 14:5), one of 13 listed as having been born to David’s wives in Jerusalem, in addition to his six sons born at Hebron. His mother’s name is unknown: four of the 13 were Bathsheba’s sons; the remainder were born to unnamed wives. Besides the
Elishua (Person)
[Heb ʾĕlîšûaʿ]. One of 13 sons of David listed as having been born to David’s wives in Jerusalem (2 Sam 5:15; 1 Chr 14:5), in addition to his six sons born at Hebron. In both lists, Elishua is listed between Ibhar and El(i)phelet, but the list in 1 Chr 3:5–9 omits this name, substituting ELISHAMA in
David (Person)
[Heb dāwîd]. Israel’s second and greatest king, David rose to power from humble circumstances and amid many difficulties; he captured Jerusalem, established it as his capital, unified the nation, and built an empire that stretched from Egypt to Mesopotamia during a 40-year reign, ca. 1010–970 b.c.e.
Daniel (Person)
[Heb dānīʾ ēl, dānîyēʾl]. 1. The second son of David, born at Hebron (1 Chr 3:1), the firstborn of David and Abigail of Carmel, Nabal’s widow (1 Samuel 25). He is called “Chileab” in 2 Sam 3:3, a reading which undoubtedly is corrupt (see chiLEAB). In Chronicles the textual problem is similarly confu
David, Sons of
David had 19 sons and one daughter who are named in Scripture. All were born to his wives. In addition, he had numerous unnamed sons and daughters born to wives and concubines (2 Sam 3:2–5; 5:13–16). Of these only four sons—Amnon, Absalom, Adonijah, and Solomon—and one daughter—Tamar—are known in an
In Memory of Serge Mallet
The work of Serge Mallet—brutally interrupted as it was entering a new phase—was not well-known in the United States. Many of us knew the name, associated with the label “new working class,” which he coined. Few had read his work, and fewer knew the man and the movement behind it. His sudden death in a car accident stops the work and makes it into a theoretical corpus. The turning point in his work is May 1968. Untypical of the Parisian politico-…
