Excerpt: The so-called 1927 Bristol sessions—the recording sessions conducted in Bristol, Tennessee/Virginia, during July-August 1927 by A&R (Artists & Repertoire) producer Ralph Peer and his employer, the Victor Talking Machine Company—garnered relatively little attention until the 1970s. At that point, a few scholars (notably, music historians Charles K. Wolfe, Bill C. Malone, Tony Russell, and Nolan Porterfield) and some serious music fans began to view this long-ago event in a small Appalachian city as one of the most important recording sessions of all time.

El presente trabajo de investigación se desarrolla con la finalidad de implementar sesiones de mindfulness a nivel corporativo enfocado en el Top y Middle Management, una alternativa diferente que sea operativa y económicamente factible. La motivación para desarrollar este proyecto se da por las actuales tendencias sobre el cuidado de la salud física y emocional a través de la gestión del estrés (Euromonitor, 2019) debido a los cambios en el entorno laboral y personal. Por ello, el uso de la metodología utilizada está basado en el Modelo Canvas considerando los puntos más importantes de forma visual. Dicha información fue validada a través de entrevistas a profundidad por expertos en recursos humanos, lo cual permitió reconfirmar el público objetivo con interés en el bienestar físico y emocional. Además, la empresa contará con una oficina administrativa en el distrito de Miraflores Por otro lado, en la evaluación económica del plan de negocio se obtiene una rentabilidad de s/57 512.32. Los resultados muestran una inversión inicial de s/. 103 490 de los cuales 50% es capital propio y 50% será financiado. Considerando un escenario esperado con la venta anual de 80 paquetes y la asistencia de 5 personas promedio por prácticas de 5 sesiones por programa, se alcanzaría una utilidad neta anual de s/. 74 810.65 en el primer año. Considerando los distintos escenarios sólo en el pesimista se obtiene una TIR de 51%, en el optimista de 131% y la TIRE de 43.77%. Los flujos económicos se reflejan positivamente a partir del primer año siendo en el año 2021 de s/.74 810.65, alcanzando los s/. 60 269.10 al 2022 y s/. 66 247.67 al 2023. Respecto al flujo financiero se registra s/. 54 515.45 en el año 2021 y llegando a s/.43 378.64 al 2023. / This research work is developed with the implementation of implementing mindfulness sessions at a corporate level focused on Top and Middle Management, a different alternative that is operative and economically factible. The motivation to develop this project is given by current trends in physical and emotional health care through stress management (Euromonitor, 2019) due to changes in the work and personal environment. However, the use of the methodology used is based on the Canvas Model determined the most important points of the visual form. Such information was validated through in-depth interviews by human resources experts and meditation experts, which confirmed the target audience with an interest in physical and emotional well-being. In addition, the company has an administrative office in the Miraflores district. On the other hand, in the economic evaluation of the business plan, a return of s / 57 512.32 is obtained. The results found an initial investment of s /. 103 490 of which 50% is own capital and 50% will be financed. Considering an expected scenario with the annual sale of 80 packages annual and the attendance of 5 average people for practices of 5 sessions per program, obtain an annual net profit of s /. 74 810.65 in the first year. Considering the different aspects only in the pessimistic one obtains TIR of 51%, in the optimistic obtains131% and the TIRE obtains of 43.77%. The economic flows show positively from the first year, being in 2021 of s/.74 810.65, reaching s/. 60 269.10 to 2022 and s/. 66 247.67 to 2023. Regarding financial flow, s/. 54 515.45 in the year 2021 and reaching s/ .43 378.64 by 2023. / Trabajo de investigación

The purpose of this study was to understand how female amateur (college) developmental level football players perceived and responded to video-based feedback sessions during their athletic training and competition. A purposeful sample was used to select 5 participants. 2 research questions were asked to explore how 5 different formats of video-based feedback sessions influenced the participants during the coaching process. The researcher was the instrument used for collecting data and this included semi-structured interviews, participant observation and a journal (personal document). Replication logic was utilized for the multiple case study research design. The trustworthiness of the study was enhanced using prolonged engagement in the field, thick description, triangulation, purposeful sampling, field notes and a reflexive journal. A cross-case analysis of the data revealed 3 major themes. These were: (a) learning, (b) motivation, and (c) barriers to implementing coaching points. The findings for theme 1 revealed the participants learned from receiving video-based feedback sessions by being prepared tactically through oppositional analysis reviews, understanding the teams playing style and/or their roles and responsibilities within it, accurately identifying personal and team areas for improvement, learning coaching points, increasing their attention to and retention of coaching points and seeing an accurate account of their performance which had contradicted what they thought during or following a performance. The findings for theme 2 revealed viewing past individual/team successes and other sports teams’ successes had a motivational and positive psychological effect on the participants. Also, the participants were motivated to increase their effort and intensity levels when receiving video-based feedback and stated video reviews should balance positive and negative clips to protect their confidence, self-esteem and motivation. The findings for theme 3 revealed three barriers to the learning and subsequent implementation of coaching points in the coaching process. These were ineffective training sessions, life as an intercollegiate student-athlete and the psychological factors of cognitive anxiety and low self-efficacy. Recommendations included further qualitative studies to track the nuances behind memory retention and the role self-efficacy and other psychological factors play during the learning of coaching points received from video-based feedback sessions at the developmental level of football.

The present study investigates university students’ time estimation accuracy from a Self-Regulated Learning perspective. Specifically, the study examines students’ goal quality, competence for goal completion, and perceptions of goal difficulty as predictors of time estimation accuracy for single study session at three points over a semester. An additional goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between time estimation accuracy and students’ reported goal completion. Results show that more than 50% of students underestimated or overestimated their time to complete goals at every time point over the semester. Results of multinomial logistic regression analyses demonstrated that perceived goal difficulty was a predictor of underestimation at the middle and at the end of the semester, competence for goal completion predicted time estimation accuracy at the beginning of the semester, and goal quality was not a significant predictor of time estimation accuracy at any point in the semester. Lastly, students who overestimated the time spent in their study sessions were less likely to attain their goals. These results provide empirical evidence of the prevalence of misestimation during individual study sessions guided by goals created by students for course-relevant tasks and partial support to theoretical principles of SRL, which consider task perceptions and goal setting as determinants of the learning process. / Graduate / 2023-06-27
