The purpose of this study was to delve into the underlying mechanism and contextual boundary condition U-shaped relationship between job control voice at episode level within framework conservation resources theory. Adopting a two-wave experience sampling method, collected 265 matched cases nested in 53 Chinese employees for 5 consecutive days. By hierarchical linear regression, effect on repli...

Promotive voice is essential for improving team and organization performance. Yet in the current literature, less was known regarding the psychological reasons why people engage in promotive voice. Through the lens of social exchange, we proposed that employees who received support from colleagues may develop higher level of felt obligation for constructive change which leads to promotive voice...

Loss of voice after total laryngectomy propter laryngeal cancer disables a person to successfully communicate with patient environment and can lead to total isolation. Learning esophageal speech in some cases is not successful. Vocal prosthesis insertion can resolve this condition. This retrospective study shows voice and speech rehabilitation in patients after total laryngectomy and installati...

BACKGROUND A newly developed artificial voice source was clinically evaluated in laryngectomized women for voice quality improvements. The prosthesis was placed in a commercially available, tracheoesophageal shunt valve. METHODS In 17 subjects, voice-producing element (VPE) prototypes were compared with the subject's regular tracheo-esophageal shunt voice in a randomized cross-over trial. The...

This paper reports the results of a pilot study on how intonational variables interact to determine characteristics of the voice source in English. By systematic variation of melody and voice levels within a sentence "Go from large up largest", it was possible to collect data on high and low FO levels at 5 different voice intensity levels. Voice source parameters sampled from these conditions s...

This study investigates how a group of advanced-low level American undergraduate students constructs their voice as they learn to write Chinese argumentative essays in an intensive study-abroad program. We collected students’ written essays as well as the sample essays used by the instructor to teach Chinese argumentative writing. We analyzed students’ representation of voice in their essays an...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Voice rest is frequently recommended following surgical disruption of vocal fold epithelium, but patients report variable adherence to voice rest recommendations. The objective of this study was to assess the clinical utility of an ambulatory vocal dosimeter for measuring adherence to voice rest recommendations. STUDY DESIGN Outcomes research. METHODS Part 1: To determ...

introduction: bnign laryngeal lesions are relatively commonly occurring problems which are often noted after changes in voice. since they are non-invasive and yield objective easy-to-collect data, acoustic laboratory methods are used along with perceptual assessments for evaluation of voice. studying acoustic characteristics is useful in diagnosis and treatment of voice disorders.  with regard ...

We estimate the interaction between fixed and mobile usage both for voice and data services using consumer level data from April 2013 to March 2014 in a European country. We find a significant proportion of fixed voice consumption could be substituted by mobile voice, and vice versa. However, a substantial proportion of fixed data consumption, and also mobile data consumption, is generated by f...

This study begins to explore the importance of the physiological domain in voice transformation. A general approach is outlined for transforming the voice quality of sentence-level speech while maintaining the same phonetic content. Transformations will eventually include gender, age, voice quality, emotional state, disordered state, dialect or impersonation. In this paper, only a specific voic...
