Derivatives based on participles in Irish and Polish and the inflection–derivation distinction by Maria Bloch-Trojnar

“…These include among others agent nouns, adjectives of tendency/inclination, resultative passive adjectives and facilitative adjectives. Stump (2005: 52) points out that the terms present and past participle are, in fact, misnomers since participles are uninflected for tense, and they should be regarded as stems conveying aspect information plus the lexical information of the root. …”

A between-subjects investigation of whether distraction is the main mechanism behind music-induced analgesia by Nazlı Bronz Arıcan, Efe Soyman

“…In this study, to assess whether music-induced analgesia primarily operates through cognitive modulation, we used the cold pressor task and objectively compared the pain tolerances of participants in a four-group between-subjects design: a music group that listened to a music piece in the absence of any tasks, a music-and-attention-to-music group that listened to the same piece while also rating the arousal levels in the music, a music-and-attention-to-pain group that rated their pain levels while listening to the same piece, and a silence group as control. The group passively exposed to music playback did not show significantly higher pain tolerance compared to the silence group. …”

Expériences paysagères et pratique du ski de randonnée dans les Alpes françaises by Stéphane Marpot, Laine Chanteloup, Clémence Perrin-Malterre

“…This landscape experience will challenge a vision-centric definition of the landscape in order to apprehend the landscape as determined by human perception and, above all, as determined by the relationships formed and materialised between existing elements (animals, plants, abiotic elements). Far from a passive contemplation in which only vision is predominant, "making beautiful or fine traces" entirely engages the practitioners in a physical capacity. …”
