Periphrasis and morphosyntatic mismatch in Czech

This paper presents an HPSG analysis of the Czech periphrastic past and conditional at the morphology-syntax interface. After clarifying the status of Czech auxiliaries as words rather than affixes, we discuss the fact that the past tense exempli-fies the phenomenon of zero periphrasis , where a form of the main verb normally combined with an auxiliary can stand on its own in some paradigm cells. We ar-gue that this is the periphrastic equivalent of zero exponence, and show how the phenomenon can be accommodated within a general theory of periphrasis, where periphrasis is a particular instance of a mismatch between morphology and syntax.
Deep Pinsker and James-Stein Neural Networks for Brain-Computer Interfacing

Objective. The theory of non-parametric regression has been shown to be useful in extracting relevant features from Local Field Potential (LFP) signals for decoding motor intentions. Yet, conventional designs of brain-computer interfaces predominantly rely on simple linear classiﬁcation methods, circumventing deep neural networks due to training data scarcity. This paper leverages the robustness of several fundamental results in non-parametric regression - namely, Pinsker’s theorem and its adaptively optimal counterpart due to James-Stein - to harness the potentials of deep learning in limited data setups. Approach. We propose a novel deep learning architecture that combines non-parametric regression for feature extraction, using Pinsker’s and the James-Stein estimators, with a deep neural network for classiﬁcation. Main result and Signiﬁcance. We apply our deep Pinsker and James-Stein neural networks to the problem of decoding eye movement intentions from LFPs collected in macaque cortex at various cortical depths, while the animals perform memory-guided visual saccades to one of eight target locations. The results demonstrate that our deep learning architecture with non-parametric feature extraction is capable of achieving decoding accuracy of up to 96 . 5% at superﬁcial cortical depths and up to 72% at deep cortical sites, making substantial improvement over state-of-the-art methods.

Cancer Facts & Figures 2021

In 2020, there will be approximately 89,500 new cancer cases and 9,270 cancer deaths in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) ages 15 to 39 years in the United States (Table S1). These patients are often grouped with younger or older patient populations, which masks important differences in cancer distribution, tumor biology, and survivorship. For example, an increasing body of evidence indicates that several types of cancer in AYAs are molecularly distinct from those that occur in other age groups, suggesting possible differences in how cancers in this age group develop and are most effectively treated.1, 2 In addition, for some cancer types, AYAs are more likely to be diagnosed at a late stage because of both delays in diagnosis due to the rarity of cancer in this age group and higher uninsured rates and higher prevalence of aggressive disease.3, 4 AYA patients also have a high risk of long-term and late effects, including infertility, sexual dysfunction, heart problems, and future cancers.5-8
The E¤ects of Globalization on International Business Cycle Co-Movement: Is all Trade and Finance Created Equal?

This paper tests for the e¤ects of increased trade and nancial integration on business cycle co-movement. Using both quantitative theory and a reduced form empirical approach motivated by the theory, I measure and explain the channels from bilateral trade integration, nancial integration, and industrial specialization to international output co-movement. The model is also used to measure the causal channels between trade, nance, and specialization. When trade integration is divided into intermediate and nal goods trade, both the data and the model show that intermediate goods trade has a greater e¤ect on co-movement than nal goods trade. When nancial integration is divided into credit market and capital market integration, the data predicts that credit market integration has a positive e¤ect on output co-movement but capital market integration has a negative e¤ect. However this constitutes a puzzle since the positive e¤ect of credit market integration on output co-movement cannot be replicated by the model. JEL Classi cation: C68, E32, F10, F30, F41
SIS Epidemics on Network with Non-Markovian Curing Process

Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) model is commonly used to describe the spreading of virus on networks. However, a real-life epidemic process is not necessarily Markovian. The spreading of diseases, behaviors and information in real systems are sometimes dependent on the characteristics and current status of individuals. Thus it is far from enough to just consider Markovian processes. We need to consider a more general model with non-Markovian processes. Although some recent works focus on the SIS model with a non-Markovian infection process, systematic research on the non-Markovian curing process is still lacking. Therefore, this thesis project is to study the influence of the non-Markovian curing process on the performance of SIS viral spreading on networks. Through continuous-time SIS epidemics simulator, we find some dramatic effects of a non-exponential curing time (while still assuming an exponential infection time) on the prevalence and critical point of effective infection rate by considering Weibullean curing times with same mean, but different shape parameter α. For α ∈ [0.2, 10], the epidemic threshold satisfies τc = 1/λ1, which is the same as the NIMFA conclusions of Markovian SIS process. Relatively, when α is too small, a large number of curing events synchronously happened at the beginning of the simulation, which will lead to collective deaths on finite network. The effect on initial condition of nodes further cause a decline on prevalence and an slow phase transition between healthy state and the meta-stable state. Furthermore, the heavy-tailed distribution of curing time leads to a small percent of nodes still surviving at the meta-stable state, even under a very low effective infection rate. The heavy-tailed distribution gives some nodes an extreme long curing time and thus can infect other nodes with a pretty small probability, thereby maintaining the virus' long-term spread in a small group of nodes. This spreading mode seems can explain some virus spreading phenomenon, like the spreading mode of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Additionally, when the shape parameter α of Weibull distribution is pretty large, the distribution of curing time is like a pulse or a Dirac delta function ( δ function), thus a huge amount of nodes can get synchronously recovered. We find when we control the successful curing probability p =1-1/e ≈0.632, the prevalence of pulse curing at the meta-stable state is equivalent to a Poisson curing process. Therefore, the pulse curing strategy can suppress the spreading of viruses and further save medical resources.
How Quickly Do Firms Readjust Capital Structure?

This paper seeks to reconcile the different results from prominent estimators of the speed of adjustment (SOA) of firms’ leverage ratios. Previous papers overlooked the simple fact that leverage ratios less than 0% or greater than 100% are not possible. This made some of them find mean reversion, which they mistakenly considered as readjustment. When corrected, the best reconciled estimate for the SOA is not positive: On average, firms do not seem to adjust. Moreover, the data is so plentiful that SOA estimates can be extremely accurate even when the firm-specific target is not known. Finally, our paper suggests both a method of reconciling estimators from prior research and a better way of modeling the underlying leverage ratio process.
GENETIC AND PHENOTYPIC ANALYSES OF DAYS OPEN AND 305-DAY MILK YIELD IN A COMMERCIAL HOLSTEIN FRIESIAN HERD

A total number of 496 lactation records for 298 cows sired by 28 bulls of a commercial herd of Holstein Friesian cows raised in Egypt, belonging to Alexandria Copenhagen Company for Dairy and Meat Production, were used in the present study to analyze factors affecting 305-day milk yield (305-DMY) and days open (DO). Data were collected during 5 years (2006-2010) and analyzed using SAS, XLSTAT and WOMBAT. Parity had a significant (P < 0.05) effect on 305-DMY. Season of calving significantly (P < 0.05) affected DO. Estimates of heritability for 305-DMY and DO were 0.25 and 0.11, respectively. The corresponding estimates of repeatability for 305-DMY and DO were 0.39 and 0.05, respectively. These results reflect a very small contribution of additive genetic variance, and also point out that improvement in such traits could be achieved by improved management and feeding procedures. Coefficients of phenotypic and genetic correlation between the two traits were -0.01 and 0.08, respectively. Results indicate possibility of genetic improvement of milk production and reproduction traits by selection for 305-DMY only, due to its relatively high heritability estimate as well as its negatively favorable phenotypic and positively reasonable genetic correlation coefficients with DO. Although genetic parameters are important tools for improving quantitative traits by selection, still there is room to improve milk production and reproduction traits of Holstein Friesian through the application of improved management procedures.
GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF NILE TILAPIA (Oreochromis niloticus) FINGERLINGS FED DIET SUPPLEMENTED WITH DIFFERENT OF SPIRULINA PLATENSIS LEVELS

The present study was designed to evaluate the use of spirulina (Spirulina platensis) as a replacement of different protein levels for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings. Spirulina was incorporated into four isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets at 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% of the protein -based diet. The diets were fed to the fishat satiation twice a day for 56 days. The final weight gain, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio and survival rate of fish were significantly (p<0.05) higher for group of fish fed diet supplemented with 20% Spirulina platensis from diet protein. The lowest feed conversion ratio was obtained for group of fish fed 20% Spirulina. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in protein and lipid in carcass proximate composition of the fish fed on diet replacement with 20% spirulina from diet protein compared to those on the experimental groups. Moreover, fish fed diets containing different spirulina levels exhibited higher protein, serum creatinine, urea, albumin, globulin, triglycerides HDL-C values. On contrary, significant (P<0.05) decreased was observed for Albumin /Globulin Ratio, LDL-CAST, ALT and AST values compared with the control. Serum protein (g/dl), creatinine (mg/dl), urea (mg/dl) albumin (g/dl), globulin (g/dl) and triglycerides (mg/dl) values weresignificantly increased (P<0.05) with the increase of Spirulina levels being the highest at T4 (20% Spirulina/kg) diet. This study demonstrates that up to 20% of spirulina replacement was most effective in stimulating fish growth for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings.
Determinants Of Whistleblowing Intention: Implementation Of The Theory Of Planned Behaviour with Organizational Support as Moderating

Whistleblowing is an act of disclosure of fraud or abuse of authority. Whistleblowing is an appropriate way to minimize fraud action in institutions. Therefore, this study aims to determine the factors that influence whistleblowing intentions by applying moderating variable of organizational support perception. This study uses a sample of all members of the internal supervisory unit at universities in Central Java with a total of 84 people. By applying convenience sampling technique, 51 questionnaires were returned and met the criteria to be analyzed. Data analysis uses the PLS program. The results show attitudes did not affect the whistleblowing intention, while subjective norm has a significant positive influence on whistleblowing intention. Furthermore, the perception of organizational support is not able to strengthen the influence of attitudes on whistleblowing intention. Meanwhile, organizational support perception is able to strengthen the influence of subjective norms on whistleblowing intention. Hence, members of the internal supervisory unit should develop appropriate whistleblowing system. This research gives huge contribution for implementation of theory of planned behaviour on higher education especially for enhance organization performance.

CONVERGENCE PROCESSES IN LATINA AMERICA : 1950-2000

Using the Penn World Table, the CEPAL statistics and the OxLAD data base for the period 1950-2000, and considering a sample of 18 Latin American countries, this paper tries to test for convergence within the region. The results from a panel data approach only allow us to speak about convergence in a conditional sense. In fact, one of the main factors behind both economic growth and the catching up process in the region is the level of human capital. This variable has been constructed using Principal Components methodology and taking into consideration primary and secondary enrolment ratios, the number of inhabitants per doctor, life expectancy, the infant mortality rate and the dependency rate.
REDOX STATUS DURING PREGNANCY, PERI-PARTURITION AND POST CALVING-FIRST INSEMINATION PERIOD IN FERISIAN COWS

A total of fifteen late pregnant Holstein Friesian cows with different parities were selected 3-6 weeks before calving. 231 Jugular Blood samples were collected weekly along 18 weeks for serum separation. Serum Hydrogen peroxide H2O2), Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were measured colorimetrically. Both H2O2 and MDA averages were increased gradually and reached the peak(P<0.01) one week before calving, TAC averages were dropped at the 5 th week and increased gradually to peak again at the last week before calving and fluctuated with a peak (P<0.01) at the 10 th week postcalving. The Parity and cow effect was significant for (H2O2& MDA) and TAC averages, P<0.05 and p<0.01 respectively. Cows having retained placenta were accompanied by high H2O2 (323.9± 19.69 μmol/L) and low serum TAC (1790.8 ± 12.32 mmol/L) concentration, (P<0.01). Cows not bred after calving showed high (P<0.01) H2O2 (292.6 ± 11.46 μmol/L) and low TAC averages (1890.1± 17.33 mmol/L) comparing to cows that bred either became pregnant or not. The study declared that the addition of antioxidant to the ration or the injection of vitamin E may play a role to overcome the redox status of the cows under investigation.
Exploring Relations Between Ambiguities in Product Designs and Sentences

The world is often confusing because of ambiguous product designs and ambiguous sentences. Controls are not always naturally mapped to the object that is being controlled. Similarly, phrases in sentences can modify two different nouns. The goal of this paper is to explore the relationship between the following variables: how the ambiguities are perceived in products and in sentences (we measure participants’ response time and confidence in their answers), how blame is assigned in the ambiguities, and psychological traits (IQ, CRT, and locus of control). We find that processing of ambiguity in product designs and sentences are likely to be related, and that IQ can be a mediating factor. Implications for product design and language relativity are discussed.
Analysis of patients admitted to the emergency service for warfarin complication and determination of their levels of knowledge and requirements of knowledge about warfarin use

Warfarin is a cumarol derivative anticoagulant. It shows its effect by antagoniz - ing the effects of Vitamin K. Warfarin is metabolized in the liver. International normalized ratio has been developed in the monitorization of warfarin. It is a drug which has a limited therapeutic index. The difference in sensitivity for therapy dose among individuals depends on the genetic polymorphism of the two enzymes in the liver. The objective of our study was to assess the informa - tion about the demographic characteristics, complications, treatments and the related factors of the patients who were admitted to our emergency service for high INR in routine controls and of the cases who had bleeding due to warfarin overdose. Of the 18-year-old and older patients who were admitted to our emer - gency service with a complaint related to warfarin use and who had been using warfarin on admission and patients who had an INR value of over 3.0 although the patient had no complaints, those who accepted to participate in the study were included in the study. The results of the demographic characteristics, com - plications and treatments of the 59 patients included in the study were in paral - lel with the literature. The rate of patients’ being informed was found as 61%. Although difference was found when the demographic data of the informed and non-informed groups and their answers to the questions asked for warfarin in - formation level were compared, no statistically significant difference was found (p>0.005). This brings to mind that the information given to patients at the time of first prescription is not sufficient and it does not turn into a regular training.
Authentic Leadership Linking Psychological Empowerment to Follower’s Behavior

This study was conducted to empirically test how follower's organizational citizenship behavior is influenced by authentic leadership mediated by psychological empowerment. This study provides in depth understanding of the relationship between leadership styles and follower's behavior and its strong linkages with psychological empowerment of employees by developing an appropriate research design. Using a quantitative approach, a cross sectional research design was employed to examine the association between Authentic Leadership and organizational citizenship behavior mediated by psychological empowerment. The data was collected from the 200 employees of the textile sector to conduct a research analysis. Reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, factor analysis, Pearson’s correlation and regression were applied to test the formulated hypothesis. The results revealed a statically significant relationship among all the variables proposed for this research study. The results of this research study supported the structural model where organizational citizenship behavior is strongly influenced by authentic leadership mediated by psychological empowerment. The result suggested that authentic leadership behavior should be encouraged in all organizational structures to increase the psychological empowerment and organizational citizenship behavior among employees. As far as practical perspective is concerned, it will be helpful for organizations especially in Pakistan where top-down hierarchical control is prevailing, to shift from control to empowerment by implementing authentic leadership styles to foster the organizational citizenship behavior through the linkage of psychological empowerment.
Survivor story-telling in road trauma education and support programs: Reviewing the evidence

Survivor story-telling is used in many road trauma education and support programs, yet the impact on both the narrator and their audiences is not well understood. A scoping review of the published literature since 2010 was undertaken to determine the range of survivor story-telling approaches currently used, identified risks and benefits, and any mitigation strategies to support the well-being of the survivor story-teller and program participants. Ten articles were identified evaluating or describing diverse story-telling approaches within road trauma programs. Six of the seven empirical studies found positive story-telling listener benefits. However, no measurement was used in relation to the emotional impact on survivor story-tellers and those who participate in such programs. This paper presents implications given the major gap that exists in the evidence-base relating to the practice of involving and supporting road trauma survivors presenting direct testimony in prevention and post-vention programs.
Alterations of Several Serum Parameters Are Associated with Preeclampsia and May Be Potential Markers for the Assessment of PE Severity

The precise pathophysiological mechanisms of preeclampsia (PE) and preventative strategies remain unknown. Laboratory markers which can help in identifying PE patients from pregnant women and assessing the severity of PE during pregnancy are worthy to be explored. In this study, a retrospective case-control study was designed to assess whether the serum levels of albumin (ALB), total protein (TP), prealbumin (PA), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), D-dimer, fibrinogen (Fbg), platelet (PLT) count, mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW) can help in assessing PE and evaluate its severity. 256 pregnant women were enrolled and classified into 3 groups: mild preeclampsia (mPE, n = 85), severe preeclampsia (sPE, n = 78), and healthy normotensive controls (control, n = 93). Our result showed that the serum levels of ALP, LDH, and D-dimer were significantly higher in mild or severe PE patients compared with the healthy controls (66 (52.5-76.5) vs. 168 (141.5-201.25) vs. 182.5 (120-191.5), 152 (139.75-166.25) vs. 183.5 (163.25-307) vs. 282 (215.25-306), 1.05 (0.65-1.57) vs. 3.05 (2.25-4.08) vs. 5.65 (2.29-7.71)), while ALB, TP, and PA are lower (38 (37-42) vs. 31.5 (25.5-34.5) vs. 28.5 (24-33), 65 (63-68.25) vs. 56.5 (52-61) vs. 51.5 (49-58), 219.14 ± 68.25 vs. 167.88 ± 52.21 vs. 143.22 ± 50.46). On the other hand, compared with the mPE group, the sPE group showed significantly lower PLT count but higher level of LDH, D-dimer, and Fbg. No significant differences in MPV or PDW were found between any of the two groups. In conclusion, the above markers except for the MPV and PDW may be correlated with PE severity in this patient cohort, indicating possible values of these potential biomarkers in auxiliary diagnosis and severity assessment of PE.
