Alban Berg as Liedkomponist: An Analytical Study of his Two Settings of "Schliesse mir die Augen beide," 1907 and 1925Ray, Karen, 1951- 05 1900 (has links)
Alan Berg's two musical settings of Theodor Storm's poem"Schliesse mir die Augen beide" have received little in the way of scholarly analytical attention. The three major chapters of this thesis deal with the two settings on three different levels. Chapter II surveys the political and cultural milieu in which Berg functioned as a young composer of Lieder in the years 1900-1910. Chapter III examines the special quality of lyricism which is often attributed to Berg and his works. Chapter IV provides more definitive and complete musical analyses of the two settings than have heretofore been available. The question of what role songwriting played in the development of Berg's compositional process is addressed in the conclusion.

Statistical Evaluation of Correlated Measurement Data in Longitudinal Setting Based on Bilateral Corneal Cross-LinkingHerber, Robert, Graehlert, Xina, Raiskup, Frederik, Veselá, Martina, Pillunat, Lutz E., Spoerl, Eberhard 13 April 2023 (has links)
Purpose
In ophthalmology, data from both eyes of a person are frequently included in the statistical evaluation. This violates the requirement of data independence for classical statistical tests (e.g. t-Test or analysis of variance (ANOVA)) because it is correlated data. Linear mixed models (LMM) were used as a possibility to include the data of both eyes in the statistical evaluation.
Methods
The LMM is available for a variety of statistical software such as SPSS or R. The application was applied to a retrospective longitudinal analysis of an accelerated corneal cross-linking (ACXL (9*10)) treatment in progressive keratoconus (KC) with a follow-up period of 36 months. Forty eyes of 20 patients were included, whereas sequential bilateral CXL treatment was performed within 12 months. LMM and ANOVA for repeated measurements were used for statistical evaluation of topographical and tomographical data measured by Pentacam (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany).
Results
Both eyes were classified into a worse and better eye concerning corneal topography. Visual acuity, keratometric values and minimal corneal thickness were statistically significant between them at baseline (p < 0.05). A significant correlation between worse and better eye was shown (p < 0.05). Therefore, analyzing the data at each follow-up visit using ANOVA partially led to an overestimation of the statistical effect that could be avoided by using LMM. After 36 months, ACXL has significantly improved BCVA and flattened the cornea.
Conclusion
The evaluation of data of both eyes without considering their correlation using classical statistical tests leads to an overestimation of the statistical effect, which can be avoided by using the LMM.
