The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the Yamaha Music In Education (MIE) keyboard instructional approach on selected musical and nonmusical outcomes of middle school students. One hundred and thirty-four middle school students from Miami, Florida were involved in the study. Experimental group participants (n = 68) received the MIE keyboard instructional approach, and were compared to a control group (n = 66) with no music instruction. The study was implemented for the academic school year from November 2004 to April 2005. Musical outcomes were reflected in students' music achievement and music attitudes. Music achievement was measured using the Iowa Tests of Music Literacy (ITML) (Gordon, 1991), and music attitude was evaluated through the Instrumental Music Attitude Inventory (IMAI) (Fortney, 1992). The nonmusical outcomes included students' motivation and self-esteem, using the Achievement Motivation Profile (AMP-Junior Form) (Mandel, Friedland, & Marcus, 2006), and the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (SEI) (Coopersmith, 1981) respectively. Report card grades in math and reading, as well as school attendance records were obtained from the participating school to measure students' academic achievement and school attendance.

Given paper discusses motocross as a part of motorsport from the viewpoint of sustainabilityand considers continuously growing impact of human activity on the environment.The theoretical framework of this paper is based on the concepts which position motorsport ina context of sustainability at both global and team levels within the borders of systems theory.Training and racing activities of the MXStar team based in Uppsala (Sweden) are described inthe paper from the environmental perspective. Changing of the team’s technical performanceas well as their behavioural models has certain driving and restraining forces that are analyzedin particular in the discussion part of the paper. Recommendations for the MXStar team havebeen developed in accordance with the results of detailed analysis of the team’senvironmental impact.The authors concluded that environmental performance of motocross racing composes fromtechnical and behavioural inputs of each participating team. In order to optimize theenvironmental impact of the motocross each team member has to be innovative in bothperspectives.

This research is intended for studying the management of Music Teaching Institutions of ¡§Yamaha Music education System¡¨ and ¡§Ju Percussion Music education System¡¨ were focused for study. In the process of research, the author collected related literatures and data to study the backgrounds of music teaching institutions. Then interview were made with institution operator and teachers to find out the problems involved to the operation of music teaching institution. Finally, a questionnaire survey was conducted among parents of students to analyze and compare the view and thinking of parents with regards to different teaching system. The findings are analyzed and reduced into conclusion as well as drawn into suggestions for the reference of music teaching institution in building their programs and guidelines, as well as the possible directions of their operation modes. Went through literature and data research, interview and questionnaire survey, the following conclusions were obtained: 1. Dimensioning the teaching belief of music teaching institution is an important direction of the operation of the organization. 2. Music teaching institution shall have completed and systematic organization. 3. Music teaching institution must have systematic development program. 4. The professional capacity and personality of teacher have great effects on the results of learning of children. 5. ¡§Providing children with fundamental music ability or understanding¡¨ is the prime factor for parents to enroll into music teaching system. 6. Music learning requires regular practices and patience. 7. Attending music concert can agitate the interest of students, and it is recommended that children are encouraged to participate. 8. The roles played by parents are the key to success. 9. Music teaching institution can play the role of culture promotion media. 10. It would be recommendable to establish Appraisal scales and revision mechanisms of music teaching institution. It is expected that our results of research will do certain good in the effect of music learning of children, enrich and develop potential of children in music. Offer children with a happy music learning experience will allow them to gain much more happiness and achievement.

This report covers a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering program at School of Engineering at Jönköping University. The work in the report is carried out by Diako Ahmadi and Rickard Surtevall where the assignment is originally performed by Mattr Collective AB. Mattr has been commissioned by the Swedish Motorsport Federation (Svemo) to follow through with this project. The background to this project is to develop an add-on kit which makes it possible to electrify the 2023 model Yamaha R3 motorcycle. The final goal for the client (Svemo) is to start a cost and climate-effective racing class for electrified motorcycles 2024. Through-out the report, calculations and simulations are presented to evaluate the stiffness of the motorcycle and the technical solution. The mission taker, Mattr, have developed a prototype built on a smaller motorcycle, a Yamaha R125. The outcome of the prototype had some issues such as deficit in its performance and carrying capacity. Thus, this project has covered those points that Mattr had problems with on their prototype. At first, a study has been performed on the motorcycle’s frame where a representative model has been recreated. The recreated frame together with different test methods will act as a benchmark for comparison between the add-on kit and the original frame. This because the manufacturer doesn’t hand out files and technical specifications. During the course of the work, the product development method Double Diamond have been used to make several iterations through FEA (Finite Element Analysis), this to obtain a result by evaluating and simulating. The result of this work is an add-on kit which is compatible with a Yamaha R3, this without affecting the motorcycle’s appearance and stiffness. Through the simulations, the add-on kit performs better together with the electrical components than with the combustion engine in some of the studies. Through the simulations, conclusions can be made that the different electrical components aren’t affected negatively on their performance through high displacements. The world is currently trying to transition to a more fossil-free society, this where electrical solutions are a major contributing factor. Several industries are trying to electrify their products to contribute to a less climate impact, hence the reason for this project.

This disseartation deals with the conception of teaching play the floot in free time centers. It is specialised on music in the leisure time field and its farther using in life. The dissertation describes music in particular fields of the educational process. It is mentioned here the mission of primary art schools, the mission of kindergardens and the role of leisure time institutions for children in the teaching play the floot. The first part of the dissertation is concentrated on the meaning and influence of music on children. The chapters chart the conception music, the emotional reaction of child on music and musical climate in family. The second part of the dissertation deals with enumeration of particular musical activities. The last part of the dissertation concentrates on the Yamaha musical school and the examples of musical-moving activities.

In those diploma thesis I engaged in design of mounting frame for mounting mtorcycle four-stroke inline combustion engine to dynamometric testing site. The goal is necessary mobility and versatility of the design. That mean the construction would be useful for other motorcycle engines.
