The influence of cognitive load on repeated references in speech and gesture

Shared common ground between interaction partners has been found to lead to reduction in repeated references to a target entity, both in speech and gesture. It has been shown, however, that increasing the cognitive load of speakers has the potential to affect how speakers and addressees adapt to one another in dialogue. This paper reports on an experiment in which native speakers of Dutch engaged in a directormatcher task where repeated references were elicited, and a time constraint was imposed in order to increase the load of speakers. Our results show that cognitive load was not an impediment to the reduction process, although it did have an effect on the overall task performance, suggesting that reduction results from rather automatic processes.
Socioemotional assessment of adolescent risk-taking: the social gambling task

Despite exhibiting cognitive abilities and knowledge similar to those of adults, adolescents take significantly more risks. One way risk-taking has been assessed is with the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). However, differences between adult and adolescent performance on the IGT, when found, are not of a sufficient magnitude to account for the difference in actual risks taken by both age groups. Furthermore, a monetary task such as the IGT neglects social aspects of adolescent risk-taking. Therefore, better assessment of adolescent risk-taking may be achieved with a socioemotional, adolescent-relevant approach. The present study was designed to validate a Social IGT (SGT) making use of social rewards and punishments, to which adolescents are uniquely sensitive. The SGT involves maximizing "likes" (rather than money), presented with pictures of attractive adolescents. Participants, 14- to 18-year-olds, chose to play or pass from preselected decks of face-down cards. Through playing, participants learned which were good or bad decks, based on the amount won (IGT) or number of "likes" and "dislikes" obtained (SGT). It was predicted that self-reported risk-taking, as assessed by the ARQ and SRTS, would predict SGT performance to a greater degree than IGT performance, after accounting for sex. However, self-reported risk-taking, sex, and gambling task type did not significantly predict IGT and SGT performance. These results suggested that adolescents were equally sensitive to a social reinforcement schedule as to a monetary one. Implications were that both the IGT and the SGT may capture similar risk processing, yet are unrelated to actual adolescent risk-taking propensity. %%%%Malgre le fait que les adolescents demontrent des capacites cognitives et des connaissances semblables a celles des adultes, les adolescents prennent considerablement plus de risques. L'Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) est une methode d'evaluation de la prise de risques. Cependant les differences, memes lorsqu'elles sont presentes, de performance en IGT entre adultes et adolescents ne sont pas d'une ampleur suffisante pour expliquer les differences de prise concretes de risques entre adultes et adolescents. De plus, l'aspect monetaire de l'IGT omet le cote social de la prise de risques chez l'adolescent. Donc, une meilleure evaluation de la prise de risques chez l'adolescent peut etre realisee par une methode d'evaluation socioemotionelle adaptee aux adolescents. L'etude actuelle a ete concue pour valider un IGT Social (SGT), qui emploie des renforcements et punitions sociaux, auxquels les adolescents sont particulierement sensibles. Le SGT cible, a la place d'argent, les “j'aimes” (en Anglais “likes”) fictifs, presentes avec des photos attrayantes d'adolescents. A chaque tour, un parmi plusieurs jeux de cartes (faces cachees) est preselectionne et les participants, de 14 a 18 ans, doivent choisir de jouer la carte ou passer leur tour. En jouant, les participants ont appris quels etaient les bons ou mauvais jeux, en fonction des gains (IGT) ou le nombre de…
Grammatical metaphor in translation – some methods for corpus-based investigations

The focus of this paper will be on investigating textual properties of translations, with special reference to English-German. A number of methods will be critically discussed for empirically testing hypotheses about differences between source language texts and target language texts in cases of translations, as well as between translated and original texts in the same language. We shall then proceed to formulate additional hypotheses about textual properties of translated texts, by modelling in more detail how the process of understanding and unpacking grammatical structures in the process may manifest itself as an independent factor. This will be followed by an analysis of an example of translated text, applying to it some techniques for quantification of lexicogrammatical properties, the aim being to show whether and to what extent there is hope for a closing of the gap between relatively high-level hypotheses and ’raw data’ in electronic corpora.
BOLE - A New Bio-Ontology Learning Platform

This paper presents BOLE --- a new platform for bottom-up generation and merging of bio-ontologies. In contrast to other ontology-learning systems that are currently available, BOLE can be characterized by the modular architecture enabling integrating and comparing various methods of the automatic acquisition of semantic relations. We introduce the architecture of th e tool and discuss the methodology of the employed synthetic bottom-up approach. OLITE --- the central component responsible for the automatic acquisition of semantic relations from texts is described in detail. The presented preliminary results prove the efficiency of the implemented framework. We also provide a bri ef comparative overview of other relevant approaches and outline the future work on representation of uncertain knowledge for bio-ontology merging.
The advantages of jointly considering first and second language vocabulary skills among emergent bilingual children

ABSTRACT This cross-sectional study investigated first (L1) and second (L2) language receptive and expressive vocabulary in a sample of 542 typically developing bilingual children of immigrants (age range 6–13), coming from six different L1 backgrounds in Norway. Results demonstrated that children’s L1 and L2 vocabulary skills increased with age. From a deficit perspective, the study confirms that in each age group, there is a vocabulary gap between the ranges of Norwegian vocabulary known by Norwegian monolinguals and by Norwegian L2 children. At the same time, when an additive, conceptual scoring approach (taking into account bilingual children’s known L1 and/or L2 vocabulary) was used, the persistent gap in vocabulary knowledge diminished or disappeared altogether. This finding is most evident in older age groups. Conceptual scoring provides a more sensitive and positive picture of bilingual children’s overall range of vocabulary. The findings demonstrate a need for more nuanced assessment procedures of semantic knowledge across children’s’ L1 and L2.
Video Games can Increase Creativity, but with Caveats

Although many studies have focused on aggression or visual-spatial cognition effects of video games, the problem-solving aspects have been largely ignored. This study sought to expand the existing literature on video game effects by focusing on a rarely-tested outcome: creative production. As a game with few rules and a high amount of player freedom, Minecraft exemplifies a game that fosters players’ abilities for creative expression. This experimental study included 352 undergraduates and it compared the effect of playing Minecraft on creativity measures compared to watching a TV show (passive control), a driving game (game control), and playing Minecraft with specific instructions (an instructional control). A within-subjects analysis found a significant correlation between trait creativity and game play habits. Between-groups experimental analyses showed that players randomly assigned to play Minecraft without instruction demonstrated significantly higher scores on post-game creativity measures compared to those who played Minecraft with instructions to “be creative,” those who played a driving game, or those who watched a television show. Results indicate that effects are not solely predicted by game mechanics, but also by the way the player plays.
On Accuracy and Time Processing Evaluation of Cover Song Identification Systems

Abstract Cover song identification (CSI) systems typically represent songs as chromagrams which are pairwise compared using different evaluation measurements. Chromagram comparison are usually computationally demanding, making most CSI systems unsuitable for real-world scenarios where millions of songs have to be processed. Evaluation mechanisms such as the ones proposed by Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX) handle MIR systems as black boxes, measuring their accuracy as a whole, thus disregarding the effectiveness of each particular component of the system. Moreover, computational times are usually not taken into account in the evaluation process, making difficult to assess the usefulness of the systems when facing large data-sets. In this manuscript, we present a systematic evaluation of the components of two state-of-the-art CSI systems that performed quite well according to MIREX. Our experiments indicate that the performance of those two systems strongly depends on the combination of the song descriptor and the comparison method used to quantify the similarity between songs. Nevertheless, the high computational cost involved in the comparison of song descriptors renders both approaches unfeasible to large data-sets, motivating the development of alternative methods.

PREDICTION OF 100 m FRONT CRAWL PERFORMANCE THROUGH ANTHROPOMETRICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN YOUTH GREEK SWIMMERS ACCORDING TO GENDER

Aim. Investigate the predictive relationship between 100 m front crawl swimming performance of youth swimmers and anthropometric characteristics. Materials and methods. Fifty-one active athletes (n = 30 male and n = 21 female) participated in the research and for the purposes of the analysis were divided into two categories (13–15 years n = 32, and 16–18 years old, n = 19). The following anthropometric data were used as set of predictive variables (7 longitudinal, 7 skinfolds, 3 circumference and 1 voluminosity variables). Results. One prediction model for each gender and age group emerged. The percentage of the explained variance of the dependent variable (100 m front crawl performance time) is 84.6 %, 54.4 %, 71.1 % and 72.7 % respectively for male, female, youth and cadet swimmers. The significant variables for each model were: arm span, biceps skinfold, biceps bracchi circumference in contraction for male swimmers, sitting height for female swimmers, biceps bracchi circumference in contraction and body weight for youth swimmers, triceps skinfold and biceps bracchi circumference in contraction for cadet swimmers. Conclusion. Youth swimmers’ performance can be predicted by important anthropometric parameters.
Workplace Literacy Skills and Occupational Interests of Dislocated Workers.

The purpose of this study was to: describe Louisiana dislocated workers who participated in the Louisiana Job Link Center (LA JLC) at LSU by workplace literacy skills (reading, writing, computation), occupational interests, and the demographics of age-group, gender, educational level, and DOT code of last job; compare workplace literacy skills on selected demographics; and determine if workplace literacy skills are independent of occupational interests and selected demographics. A simple random sample of 232 dislocated workers was drawn from the accessible population. The data used in this study was obtained from a larger data base collected and held by the Director o f the LA Job Link Center at LSU. Four instruments were used to collect that data, three of which provided information for this study. A data recording form designed by Harvill (1993) was modified and used to compile data for this study. The data were summarized using: frequencies and percentages for ordinal data; t-test to determine differences in workplace literacy by gender; one-way ANOVA to compare differences in workplace literacy scores by categories of DOT codes and occupational interests; step-wise multiple regression analysis to determine if a model existed which explained a significant portion of the variance in workplace literacy scores from selected demographics. The findings: 50.6% of the population sample were female; 165 (71%) of the dislocated workers were aged 26-45; about 88% had at least a high school education; 64.33% had been dislocated from jobs categorized by DOT codes Clerical and Sales (41.77%) and Professional/Managerial/Technical (22.66%). A total o f 215 (91 %) of the dislocated workers at the LA JLC at LSU scored above the m inim um acceptable total (225) on the reading assessment; a total of 172 (73.28% ) scored above the minimum acceptable total (225) on the math portion of the workplace literacy tests. Reading skills correlated with educational level but were independent o f age-group, gender, D O T code, and occupational interests. Math scores correlated with educational level and D O T code but were also independent of v . ’ age-group, gender, D O T code, and occupational interests. The best predictor of workplace literacy skills was educational level.
Food Insecurity and Children: How Food Insecurity Affects Mental Health in Children

Being without the financial means to have reliable access to enough food to sustain members of a household is known as Food Insecurity (FI; Gundersen, 2013). Previous research has linked FI to obesity and depression (Adams, Grummer-Strawn, & Chavez, 2003; BronteTinkew, Zaslow, Capps, Horowitz, & Mcnamara, 2007; Huddleston-Casas, Charnigo, & Simmons, 2009; Kim & Frongillo, 2007). Although there have been findings about FI being related to depression and obesity, little research has used African Americans; even less research has used young adolescents as the target population. This study had five aims: 1) Observe the impact of FI on health, 2) Observe the impact of weight status on depression, 3) Observe gender effects, 4) Testing mediation effects of child and caregiver depression, and 5) Observe income effects on FI. There were 228 participants (Mage=13.27) recruited from a large Mid-Atlantic city. Self-administered questionnaires were used to assess psychosocial functioning, and caregivers answered the Two-Item Screening Questionnaire for Food Insecurity to assess FI status. FI was not significantly related to child depression but was related to caregiver depression. There was no relation between FI and weight status. Obese children reported higher levels of depression than normal and overweight children; weight had no relation to caregiver depression. Female children had higher rates of depression, overweightness, and obesity. Poverty was not related to FI or depression in children and caregivers. With more FI research, advances can be made to reduce the negative impact of this issue.
A Systematic Review of Replicative Self-Determination Intervention Studies

Current federal legislation emphasizes the use of programs, interventions, strategies, and activities that have been demonstrated through research to be effective. One way to increase the quantity and quality of research that guides practice is to conduct replication research. The purpose of this study was to undertake a systematic review of the replication research focused on self-determination conducted between 2007 and 2017. Using methods used by Cook and colleagues, we identified 80 intervention studies on topics related to self-determination, of which 31 were coded as replications. Intervention study trends, rate of replication studies, percentage of agreements between findings of original and replication studies, amount of author overlap, and types of research designs used are reported along with recommendations for future research.

Effects of van Hiele’s phase-based teaching strategy and gender on pre-service mathematics teachers’ attitude towards geometry in Niger State, Nigeria

The study investigated the effects of van Hiele’s phase-based teaching strategy and gender on pre-service mathematics teacher attitude towards geometry in Niger state, Nigeria. The study employed pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design using a two-by-two (2x2) factorial matrix with one experimental and control group. The experimental group was exposed to Van Hiele’s phase-based teaching strategy while the control group was taught the same topics with conventional teaching strategy. Three null hypotheses with corresponding research question were formulated to guide the study. Attitudes Towards Geometry questionnaire (ATGQ) was the instrument employed to collect data from 149 sampled pre-service mathematics teachers from the two colleges of education situated in Niger State, Nigeria. The sample colleges were selected using purposive sampling technique. A reliability coefficient of 0.73 was obtained for Attitudes Towards Geometry questionnaire. Two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed in analysing the data at 0.05 level of significance. The results of the study revealed that van Hiele’s phase-based teaching strategy is more effective in improving pre-service mathematics teachers’ attitude towards geometry. It was recommended among others, that since van Hiele phase-based teaching strategy was found to be effective in enhancing pre-service mathematics teacher attitude towards geometry, the strategy should be employed by lecturers in course of teaching students. The teacher education programme should be geared towards training of mathematics lecturers to learn van Hiele phase-based teaching strategy as it supports effective teaching and learning which thereby improving learners’ attitudes towards learning geometry.
On the isotope effect in compressed superconducting H3S and D3S

A maximum superconductive transition temperature TC = 203.5 K has recently been reported for a sample of the binary compound tri-hydrogen sulfide (H3S) prepared at high pressure and with room temperature annealing. Measurements of TC for H3S and its deuterium counterpart D3S have suggested a mass isotope effect exponent α with anomalous enhancements for reduced applied pressures. While widely cited for evidence of phonon-based superconductivity, the measured TC is shown to exhibit important dependences on the quality and character of the H3S and D3S materials under study; examination of resistance versus temperature data shows that variations in TC and apparent α are strongly correlated with residual resistance ratio, indicative of sensitivity to metallic order. Correlations also extend to the fractional widths of the superconducting transitions. Using resistance data to quantify and compensate for the evident materials differences between H3S and D3S samples, a value of α = 0.043 ± 0.140 is obtained. Thus, when corrected for the varying levels of disorder, the experimental upper limit (≤0.183) lies well below α derived in phonon-based theories.
Commercial counterurbanites’ contribution to cultural heritage tourism: the case of Brigus, Newfoundland and Labrador

Abstract Former urban residents frequently establish tourism businesses in smaller settlement areas. This article explores the relationship between these ‘commercial counterurbanites’ and cultural heritage tourism in resource-dependent regions. It seeks to understand the types of counterurbanites involved, their routes to proprietorship, their business activity, and the attitudes of local residents towards their involvement. Brigus, Newfoundland and Labrador is the setting for this study. Once a vibrant fishing community, Brigus has been transformed into a heritage tourism destination that capitalizes on its past. Information gathered from proprietors, key stakeholders and residents reveals the role of in-migrants in this trajectory. We find that commercial counterurbanites are present in Brigus, with three different routes taken to tourism proprietorship. Their activities enhance an existing tourist trajectory, which was initiated by ‘local-local’ volunteers, with the assistance of ‘civic counterurbanite’ stakeholders. Residents acknowledge the positive impacts of tourism, but few benefits directly from this sector. We attribute this to the presence of retirees in Brigus, and the potential for employment in St. John’s. Our findings confirm that counterurbanites are a heterogeneous group, whose commercial and civic activity contributes to heritage tourism development. These findings have implications for communities seeking diversification in the face of declining resource activity.
The Quantum Yang-Baxter Conditions: The Fundamental Relations behind the Nambu-Goldstone Theorem

We demonstrate that when there is spontaneous symmetry breaking in any system, relativistic or non-relativistic, the dynamic of the Nambu-Goldstone bosons is governed by the Quantum Yang-Baxter equations. These equations describe the triangular dynamical relations between pairs of Nambu-Goldstone bosons and the degenerate vacuum. We then formulate a theorem and a corollary showing that these relations guarantee the appropriate dispersion relation and the appropriate counting for the Nambu-Goldstone bosons.
