This study will help you examine the classical music knowledge of school pupils and faculty. We analyzed the musical form and religious mood in this article. Christian Furchitegot Gelato, a German pastor, poet, and hymn writer, composed the poem "God's Glory from Nature." In 1757, it was initially published in Gellert's collection of odes and songs. The words were published as part of a collection of songs in 1803. They are best known for their solo vocal and piano setting by Ludwig van Beethoven ("Die Himmelrühmen der Ewigen Ehre," beginning with Op. 48, No. 4), and for which they are best remembered. The song by Beethoven is commonly known as "Die Himmelsrühmen," which translates to "Heaven speaks" in English. Popular in the United States is Virgil Thomson's organ and choir arrangement of "Heaven Talks" (1925). Beethoven's vocal pieces are occasionally neglected or overshadowed due to his substantial contributions to large-scale instrumental genres such as sonata, symphony, and string quartet. Nonetheless, he had a lifelong passion for literature and poetry, as proven by countless direct and indirect allusions from the literary works that peaked his attention in his collection, correspondence, Tagebuch, and discussion books. Between 1783 and 1826, he created several vocal works illustrating his passion for and connection to the language. Most of Beethoven's vocal compositions have not been exposed to the same level of scrutiny as his instrumental works. This study examines the relationship between lyrics and music in Beethoven's solo songs and other vocal compositions. The intersections between literary and musical expression are analyzed within four dimensions of text setting: structure, rhythm, meaning, and story. To begin, the components of derivation and deviation are analyzed to determine how he built musical structures in response to the poetic (and semantic) patterns of each source text.

Drawing upon psychological ownership theory, we examined the link between participative decision making and employees' feedback seeking from supervisors, by focusing on the mediating role of job-based psychological ownership. Analysis of data from 248 subordinatesupervisor dyads employed
at 2 hotels in China showed that participative decision making was positively associated with employees seeking feedback from supervisors, and the relationship was mediated by job-based psychological ownership. In sum, our results suggest that participative decision making can serve as a managerial
tool to stimulate, encourage, and foster employees' feedback-seeking behavior, and that the development of job-based psychological ownership can help with this process.

Xiaoyan Li, Hongjun Gao, Chuanhao Tang, Xiaoqing Liu Department of Lung Cancer, Affiliated Hospital of Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Beijing, People's Republic of China Abstract: Sunitinib, an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma and imatinib-refractory gastrointestinal stromal tumor. In non-gastrointestinal stromal tumor soft tissue sarcomas, the activity of this small-molecule drug has been rarely reported. Herein, we report a patient with lung metastases from renal leiomyosarcoma who responded favorably to sunitinib after the failure of conventional chemotherapy. Adverse effects of sunitinib, which include fatigue, hand-foot syndrome, and stomatitis were observed following its administration. Withdrawal of sunitinib led to progression of disease, and resuming use of sunitinib was still effective for multiple lung metastases. Sunitinib might be an effective treatment for renal leiomyosarcoma, especially when conventional chemotherapy fails. Keywords: sunitinib, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, GIST, renal leiomyosarcoma

Xiaoyan Li, Hui Yang, Jing Zhao, Hongjun Gao Department of Lung Cancer, Affiliated Hospital of Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Fengtai District, Beijing, People's Republic of China Abstract: Lung adenocarcinoma can be accompanied by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. As a consequence, targeted therapy based on screening of tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is necessary. Spinal cord metastasis of lung cancer is a serious clinical problem. Here, we report a case of lung adenocarcinoma with severe spinal cord metastasis that was successfully treated with a second administration of an EGFR-TKI. Magnetic resonance imaging showed spinal cord metastasis to the cervical vertebrae. The patient received a second administration of an EGFR-TKI (150 mg/day erlotinib). Four months later, we observed the disappearance of the paravertebral tumor and a reduction in the size of pulmonary tumors in both lungs. These results indicate that EGFR-TKI therapy could be a new strategy for the treatment of advanced lung adenocarcinoma with spinal metastasis.
